The banquet at the General's Mansion went very smoothly. The singer Ning Yuan from the Hehuan Building also made a great show during the dinner. The guests were more than happy to applaud her. Her soft voice paired with the unique music score was a rare and perfect sound in the world.
After the dinner that night, the singer of Hehuan House led her attendants and left through the back door. There was no need to hide or cover up, because the rules of Hehuan House were that no matter how many nights she stayed at her employer's residence, she was not allowed to stay the night.
Qi Yan naturally followed him back to Hehuan Building. The next thing to do was to eat and drink well and wait for Puyang Zheng to come to his door.
The General's Mansion returned to peace at night and was silent. Except for those on patrol at night, the servants had already fallen asleep.
In the study, a broken lamp still remains. Puyang Zheng sat behind the desk and carefully reviewed one document after another.
The butler stood in front of the desk and respectfully reported what had happened recently.
When he talked about the marriage granted by the emperor, he hesitated and raised his head to look at Puyang Zheng without saying anything else.
Puyang Zheng frowned and looked helpless: "The emperor doesn't trust me after all."
"It's normal for the emperor to be suspicious," the steward responded.
"But we can't harm other people's innocent girls." Puyang Zheng didn't know what to do, "I think all my previous wives died suddenly. Although I have no feelings, how can I feel at ease? Now that the emperor has decreed marriage again, I So what?”
Puyang Zheng has a good heart after all.
His previous wives, not to mention their feelings, died strangely before they even had sex because of the war. Although Pu Yangzheng was investigating, he couldn't resist the emperor sending a girl to die again.
He didn't believe in the curse of ghosts and gods, but he suspected that there was a ghost inside the general's mansion!
A sudden movement occurred in his mind, and a thin and enchanting figure flashed past. Puyang Zheng was stunned for a moment, then raised his head and asked the housekeeper: "Do you know Qi Yan?"
The butler raised his eyebrows slightly: "The general is talking about Mr. Qi from Hehuan Tower?"
"Exactly!" Pu Yangzheng responded quickly: "You also know him?"
"I didn't know it before, but I know it today."
"Is there an investigation?"
"The investigation revealed everything."
Anyone who enters the general's residence, no matter who they are, must investigate their origins. This is a rule set by the old general.
"Qi Yan is not an ordinary attendant, but the mastermind behind Hehuan Tower. He established Hehuan Tower at a young age. On the surface, it looks like a romantic place, but in fact it is an intelligence station that collects all kinds of news from the world and the imperial court..." The butler suddenly After a pause, he raised his hands and asked for instructions: "There is a saying that I don't know whether to say or not."
"you say."
"It seems that someone deliberately revealed this information to me. I suspect that this person is Mr. Qi Yan... Forgive me for talking, but what agreement did the general reach with Mr. Qi?"
As soon as these words came out, there was a silence around him.
Puyang Zheng lowered his eyes and stared at the inkstone on the table with some seriousness, his thoughts wandering to nowhere.
The housekeeper looked at him and sighed slightly secretly. He was about to say something when he saw Puyang Zheng suddenly waved his hand and told him to get out.
The housekeeper respectfully agreed and exited the study, leaving Puyang Zheng alone.
The night is slightly cool, and I feel lonely for a long time.

In Hehuan Building, Qi Yan stood on the highest balcony, smiling as he watched the actors singing on the stage below. The coloratura tune is very interesting to sing.
In the distance, a waiter hurriedly walked over and whispered a few words in Qi Yan's ear, which made Qi Yan smile seductively.
"Go, entertain the general well, and don't let anyone else know."
After whispering instructions, the little waiter stepped back, but Qi Yan was not in a hurry to leave, and continued to lean on the railing leisurely and watch the opera below.
He thought he would have to wait a few more days.
Now that Puyang Zheng is here, everything will be easier. Everything has just begun.
