I remembered Fu Lie's voice outside the door behind the screen: "Qingqing, I'm coming in."
After basically scrubbing it, Lu Tao covered Wen Qingzhu with a quilt and prepared to put away his things and leave.
When he didn't want to come to the bed, he ordered again: "Put down the things and ask someone to bring a bucket of hot water."
"Yes." Lu Tao stood up and stepped back.
Fu Lie sat down, picked up her head and put it on his lap, massaging her temples with moderate force: "You have a good rest these days, and don't go to the emperor for the time being."
When Wen Qingzhu heard this, he opened his eyes and asked, "Is the emperor going to court?"
"Well, and I can't tell him clearly now. Maybe the emperor, whom we are not familiar with, is starting to become smarter." Fu Lie was not worried, he just didn't want Wen Qingzhu to get close to Jiang Yuanhan.
Wen Qingzhu also understood the profound meaning of this.
It's just that the person who needs to untie the bell needs to be the one who ties the bell. The crux of Jiang Yuanhan's problem still lies with her.
Anyone who goes to court today can see that the Emperor is different.
Instead of being surly, indifferent, and capricious, he was replaced by calmness and calmness, and he even made many constructive suggestions on current problems.
At least at first glance, his ability is not much worse than that of the emperor.
The emperor went to court today, but the regent didn't come, and no one greeted him in advance.
Even though the emperor seemed to have changed, everyone was still not completely reassured.
As he was about to leave the court, Jiang Yuanhan asked casually: "Why didn't Mr. Jin come?"
I don't know if it was because of Jin Yuanbao's imprisonment, but no one from Yushitai came, including Wei Hai from the Wei family.
Wei Ziying stood up and said, "Master Jin is still recovering from his injuries."
Although Jin Yuanbao was indeed locked up, according to the standards of his detention, he was indeed recovering from his injuries.
He also told the truth.
Jiang Yuanhan didn't seem to remember what happened before, and said: "Come here, go and ask Mr. Jin to come to the Xuanzheng Hall. I have something to discuss with him."
Wei Ziying didn't reply. He glanced sideways at Su Huo. He seemed to be thinking about something, but finally stood up.
After going to court, Su Huo went to the prison in person and brought out the gold ingot.
He did not let Jin Yuanbao go immediately, but asked: "Have you met the emperor?"
Jin Yuanbao was not a good liar, so he said with a straight face: "Does this have anything to do with Mr. Su?"
Such a reply was already a disguised admission that he had gone to see the emperor.
Su Huo couldn't help but frown. This prison was not something ordinary people could leave.
In the entire capital, there are only a handful of people with this ability.
Thinking of that woman, Su Huo didn't say anything after all, and took Jin Yuanbao to Xuanzheng Hall.
As soon as they arrived at the door, they saw the emperor standing in the corridor of the side hall from a distance.
When they were about to reach behind the emperor, Xiao Fangzi raised his hand to stop them: "My lords, please wait a moment."
Su Huo followed Jiang Yuanhan's line of sight and wondered, isn't that where Fu Lie lives
After a while, the door to the side hall opened. Fu Lie walked out and quickly came to Jiang Yuanhan: "Your Majesty, you have been waiting for a long time."
"Let's go." Jiang Yuanhan turned around expressionlessly and walked towards the main hall.
Although his expression was calm, Su Huo still felt keenly that he was angry.
What are you angry about
When they arrived at the Xuanzheng Hall, the atmosphere between the emperor and the regent was much better than Suho had imagined.
There is no nonsense between the two of them. It can even be said that they cherish words like gold and get straight to the point.
The news in Yunzhou was getting worse and worse, and both Fu Lie and Jiang Yuanhan agreed to send someone there.
The first point of difference is who to shoot.
Fu Lie suggested: "Let Qingqing pass."
Jiang Yuanhan's expression remained unchanged, but he mentioned another person's name: "I think it's better to let Ruan Quanxue come over."
"Your Majesty, Ruan Quanxue has no practical experience." Fu Lie disagreed.
Jiang Yuanhan insisted on his opinion: "He is the person chosen by General Ruan, so he naturally has his own merits. Even the regent does not have practical experience from the beginning, right? What's more, there is the Dingyuan Lu family in Yunzhou, and Dezhou Mingliang in the back , I wonder what the regent is worried about?"
Fu Lie looked into his provocative eyes and pursed his lips in silence.
Of course you are the one who is worried.
Except for the disagreement over who should be sent to Yunzhou, the emperor and the regent had surprisingly unanimous opinions on the rest.
After the discussion was over, Jiang Yuanhan even offered to ask Yang Song to come out.
Fu Lie frowned slightly, and Su Huo was surprised. Only Jin Yuanbao remained motionless and guessed which move the emperor was going to make.
The emperor said that he still had something to discuss with Jin Yuanbao, and Fu Lie asked to stay. Su Huo felt that he needed to go find Wen Qingzhu, so he said goodbye and left.
Unexpectedly, when he walked out of the palace door, he saw Wen Qingzhu standing leisurely at the door of the side hall, looking steadily at the main hall.
After thinking for a while, Su Huo turned over.
When he arrived in front of Wen Qingzhu, he did not say any polite words: "What agreement did you and the emperor make? Was Jin Yuanbao also involved?"
"Master Su is indeed very discerning. I did make a deal with the emperor." Wen Qingzhu knew that some of her and Jiang Yuanhan's actions could not be hidden from people like Su Huo.
Su Huo's expression was slightly condensed, and he only advised: "I know you are doing the best for the emperor, but there is a limit to everything. Mr. Jin has an upright character. You should not involve him in this matter. What's more, if something happens to him, you will let Xi'er what to do?"
"It seems that Mr. Su has considered the issue more thoughtfully than me." Wen Qingzhu also agreed with his words, but she had no choice.
Looking at the door of the main hall, Wen Qingzhu said calmly: "The emperor's situation is more complicated than we imagined. He doesn't trust anyone, including me now, but Jin Yuanbao is an exception."
Su Huo vaguely understood what she meant: "But this doesn't count as belief, does it? It can only be said that Mr. Jin has a clear mind and does whatever he thinks."
"It's really hard for you to use the word "clear-minded". Wen Qingzhu was surprised that Jin Yuanbao was more popular than he thought.
If Su Huo is thinking about Jin Yuanbao, then there is no need for the other veterans.
Wen Qingzhu supported his waist and felt a little tired. He turned around and went in and said, "Come in and sit down and talk. I'm really tired."
Su Huo came over and quickly noticed something strange about her.
After Wen Qingzhu went in and sat down, he found that Lu Tao was also here, and the palace servants serving him were also from the Huaqing Palace.
After sitting down, Su Huo didn't want to look directly at Wen Qingzhu. This was the Xuanzheng Hall, where the emperor handled government affairs!
In order to facilitate the regent's stay, Wen Qingzhu actually came in to stay. No wonder the emperor was staring here just now.
Seeing his strange expression, Wen Qingzhu asked knowingly, "What's wrong with Mr. Su?"
Su Huo closed his eyes and said tactfully: "This is the Xuanzheng Palace. If the princess wants to see the regent, she should at least go to Huaqing Palace."
"Last night was really an accident." Wen Qingzhu couldn't help but laugh. Su Huo was so serious about this kind of thing.
Su Huo hesitated to speak, but finally said nothing more.
Lu Tao served tea and went down with the rest of the palace people.
Looking at the sky outside, Wen Qingzhu suggested: "It's almost noon anyway, why don't Master Su stay for dinner?"
Su Huo was slightly startled and looked toward the main hall: "The Emperor and the Regent can't finish talking before noon?"
"Of course, our emperor has a clear goal, and he doesn't have much time." Wen Qingzhu was wondering where Jiang Yuanhan would start.
When Su Huo heard this, he felt something was wrong.
Especially when Wen Qingzhu said the word goal, a cold feeling came out.
But today he was mainly concerned about Jin Yuanbao.
"Ignoring the matter of the Emperor and the Regent, I came here mainly to ask you, what on earth did you do to convince Jin Yuanbao? How could the Emperor not notice it?"
Wen Qingzhu smiled mysteriously: "You will know tomorrow."
In the morning of the next day, Jin Yuanbao reiterated the incident of Jiang Yuanhan stabbing the dragon body.
Fu Lie's expression did not change, but the atmosphere in the court instantly became much colder.
Wei Ziying was now the most senior minister in the court, and he vaguely sensed a dangerous trend.
What was different from the past was that this time the wind was coming from between the regent and the emperor.
After all, they are highly consistent on external matters and don't even have any disagreements.
Jin Yuanbao listed Wen Qingzhu's contributions very fairly, and then explained the impact of stabbing the emperor, and finally suggested: "I believe that Wen Mingxuan can be exempted from death, but he cannot escape from living."
"Having said that, Mingxuan is my chamberlain after all, and he is also the regent's brother-in-law. If I really deal with him, I'm afraid some people will have objections, and I will feel very sorry."
The words were spoken sincerely, but Jiang Yuanhan's face looked like he was watching a good show.
Everyone's attention was focused on him. Fu Lie stood up, slowly walked down the golden staircase, and took off the golden crown of the regent: "Your Majesty, I have invited myself to be a commoner, and I have left Beijing with my wife Mingxuan and will never return. To offset Mingxuan’s sins.”
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked sideways and were shocked.
Jiang Yuanhan put away his smile and said with a gloomy face: "Does the Regent hope that I will become a foolish king?"
"I don't dare!" Fu Lie met his gaze, feeling magnanimous.
In the Xuanzheng Palace.
Wen Qingzhu was just returning from Qingning Palace when he heard about what happened in the court.
"I understand, you can go down." Wen Qingzhu was not surprised at all. When she proposed this to Jiang Yuanhan, she hoped that he would resort to evil deeds.
Now it seems that the effect is better than she imagined.
Lu Tao held her hand and asked: "Just like this, doesn't it push the regent to the forefront?"
Wen Qingzhu explained: "This is what Fu Lie wants. He would rather face the emperor himself than me take risks."
Not long after leaving, Bai Di hurried over.
She said quickly and clearly: "The Lord of Pingshu County was attacked and slightly injured."
Wen Qingzhu frowned: "Is he a distinguished person?"
"Yes, but it's not just them, there seems to be someone behind them to help them cover." Bai Di took out a wrapped handkerchief, and after opening it, there was an arrowhead from the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division inside.
"This is..." Wen Qingzhu thought of Fan Ling.
Bai Di nodded: "It is basically certain that Fan Ling has joined forces with someone from You Duan, but it is still unclear which party he is from."
After thinking for a moment, Wen Qingzhu took back his hand and ordered: "It seems that we have to go see Fan Yu."
A separate courtyard outside Beijing.
In the lobby, Fan Yu and Fan Ling had a fierce quarrel.
"Brother! Why on earth should I help the Xianbei people! They are a foreign race! They are the enemies of our Qi State!"
"Don't mind my business, I won't bring trouble to you and dad."
Fan Yu's face turned pale with anger: "Dad lost his temper last time and you didn't know how to restrain yourself. Our Fan family can protect you once or twice, but we can't protect you for a lifetime!"
Fan Ling's heart was full of guilt, but his face remained tough: "I said! I won't hurt you!"
After hearing his words, Fan Yu almost vomited blood. It was as if he didn't recognize the person in front of him: "Brother! You have changed! You are no longer the brother I know! I really don't understand, why are you having trouble with the princess? Is it rumored Is it true that you are from Jiang Yuancheng?"
"Fan Yu!" Fan Ling shouted angrily, as if he didn't want to hear this name.
Seeing that his brother's expression changed dramatically when he heard Jiang Yuancheng's name, Fan Yu calmed down: "If brother insists on doing anything rash, neither father nor I will condone you!"
