Thinking that Yan Li would definitely come this time, the eunuch came back and reported, "The prime minister said he was sick and ugly, and he didn't want to make a fool of himself. I hope the emperor will forgive him. He must drink a few more glasses at the next banquet!"
Li Hai said to Rong Chang'an: "Queen, you have heard that the prime minister is indeed ill. If he doesn't come, he won't come. I won't force him. You take the imperial doctor and go to the prime minister's mansion right away to see what kind of illness the prime minister has. , so that I can prescribe a prescription for him, let him get better as soon as possible, and help me deal with government affairs."
The eunuch responded, "I'm going to do it, my slave!"
Rong Changan raised his hand: "Wait, wait!"
Li Hai looked surprised: "Queen, do you have anything else to do?"
"Your Majesty, I will lend you a jade formula."
"What is the empress doing with it?" Li Hai untied the jade formula and handed it to Rong Changan.
Rong Changan handed Yujue to the eunuch: "You go to the prime minister's mansion again and show him this jade formula. If he doesn't come after seeing the jade formula, then you don't have the emperor in your eyes!"
"Empress, why do you embarrass the prime minister like this?" Li Hai was even more puzzled, wondering why Rong Chang'an got into trouble to embarrass Yan Li.
Rong Changan said angrily: "Your Majesty, I can't see someone who looks down on the royal family! No matter how talented he is, I don't like him."
The eunuch took the jade formula and rushed to the prime minister's mansion non-stop, came to the bed, and showed the jade formula to Yan Li.
"Prime Minister, no matter what disease you have, you should go to the banquet! Now the queen is angry, and she must ask you to go."
Yan Li read the Jade Jue and knew what Rong Changan meant: If he doesn't go, he will really sever ties with her.
Yan Li smiled coldly, and said to the eunuch: "Go back and tell the emperor that I really can't get out of bed. I hope the emperor will forgive me!"
As he spoke, he bowed to the sky, as if Li Hai was sitting in the sky.
The eunuch was extremely embarrassed: "Prime Minister, why don't you insist on going! I'll ask the emperor to call An Che."
The so-called "Anche" is a carriage specially made for meritorious and prestigious veterans. Yan Li should be extremely honored to be treated like this.
Yan Li's eyes suddenly turned red, and his pupils flashed with anger: "Yan Li has no complaints or regrets in doing things for the emperor. If the emperor and the empress must use their power to force Yan Li to do things they don't like, Yan Li would rather put a sword in his heart." !"
As he spoke, he struggled to his feet, pulled out the sword from the wall with a bang, and wiped it off his neck.
"Prime Minister, why is this so!" The eunuch held Yan Li's hand, "You are the pillar of the imperial court. If you commit suicide just like this, it will be a great loss to our country. How about this, I will go again and report your situation to the emperor and the emperor." The queen mother said, don't get excited, how about it?"
Yan Li made a bow to the eunuch: "Yan Li really can't go, it's not that he doesn't want to go, I hope my father-in-law can explain my situation to the emperor and queen clearly, Yan Li is very grateful!"
The eunuch thought in his heart: I have never seen Empress Rong get angry. Today, once she gets angry, she can't stop!
"I'll try my best. Empress Rong is angry now, so I can't say anything!"
Shaking his head, the eunuch walked out of Yan Li's room, out of the Prime Minister's Mansion, mounted his horse and left.
The eunuch returned to the palace to return to his command.
"Prime Minister Yan is really seriously ill and can't come."
Li Hai then said to Rong Chang'an: "Queen, you have heard that Prime Minister Yan is indeed ill, let him be spared this time!"
Rong Chang'an rolled his eyes and smiled at Li Hai: "Since Prime Minister Yan is ill, he is one of the heroes who put down the rebellion this time and is the pillar of the country, so I will visit him for the emperor, what does the emperor think? "
Li Hai laughed in his heart: Hmph, originally you wanted to visit Yan Li, but you said you were going to visit him instead of me, thinking that I was a three-year-old child, so easy to be deceived
"The empress can work hard for me, I am really grateful. I asked Eunuch Liu to prepare some things for you to bring over and give them to Prime Minister Yan to show that the court values him very much." Li Hai said.
Rong Changan said: "This is unnecessary! The emperor must know that Prime Minister Yan is an upright and upright person, and he must not like any gifts the emperor gives him. Why don't I just go there empty-handed, and also show that he is clean and honest. character."
Li Hai laughed and said: "It seems that the queen knows the prime minister better than I do! Then follow the queen's words."
Rong Chang'an said: "Why don't I go and see him now, since I'm idle anyway."
It seems that Rong Changan couldn't bear to see Yan Li's temper! Then let her go and see what she and Yan Li can do. As long as there is a handle in Li Hai's hands, Li Hai will definitely pursue him until he gets rid of Rong Chang'an.
A sinister light flashed across Li Hai's eyes.
Rong Chang'an then left the banquet, neither calling him a son, nor riding a horse, but just putting on the clothes of a folk girl, Chuntao was holding a willow basket in his hand, which contained snacks that could only be eaten in the palace.
The two still came to the back door, the doorman had already known Rong Changan and Chun Tao, and said with a smile on his face:
"Queen, what are you asking the prime minister to do this time?"
Rong Chang'an said: "This time I am not inviting your prime minister, but to represent the emperor to visit the prime minister. I don't know how sick he is, is he only ventilated, not ventilated?"
Menzi chuckled: "Queen, you really know how to joke. Our prime minister is sick because he is sick, but he hasn't reached the point where he is dying. I don't need to report it anymore. Queen, please come in!"
Rong Changan took Chuntao through the double gate and came to the courtyard of Yan Li's room. There is only one peach blossom in the yard, and now is not the time to bloom, the peach blossom stands alone and lonely in the yard.
Rong Chang'an walked directly to the door, without opening the door, and directly opened the door to enter.
Yan Li was sitting at the table reading a book, when he suddenly saw Rong Changan and Chuntao, his surprised expression crossed the corner of his mouth.
"you… "
Rong Changan snorted coldly, and stared closely at Yan Li's complexion. There was a red glow in his fair complexion, he didn't look like he was seriously ill. Presumably he was pretending to deceive the eunuch.
"Aren't you sick, how can you still read?" Rong Changan said sarcastically, and she walked to the table, picked up the book from Yan Li's hand, and read: "Spring and Autumn". "It turns out that you like to read "Spring and Autumn", but what you do does not conform to the righteousness of "Spring and Autumn" at all."
"What books I like to read is my right, don't over-interpret it."
Rong Changan smiled, raised his eyes slightly and looked at Yan Li: "I have no objection to what books you read, but if you lie to the emperor, I will care about it."
Yan Li suddenly stared: "What did you say? Why did I lie to the emperor?"
"Isn't it?" Rong Changan said, "Today is the emperor holding a celebration banquet for you, Lin Hai, and me, but you made many excuses, saying that you are very sick and not suitable to go out. But the Yan Li I saw now , but there is no illness at all, the face is flushed, and the complexion is quite good. Tell me, how should I explain all this to the emperor?"
Yan Li wanted to be angry but didn't dare to be angry: "Whatever you like to tell the emperor, then say it! I don't care."
"Really?" Rong Changan said, "Can I also tell the emperor that you reveal your real identity, the former prince?"
Yan Li's eyes suddenly shot a sharp gaze, stabbing Rong Chang'an like a knife.
"Hehe, you don't dare!" Yan Li's every word seemed to come out from between his teeth.
