Feng Lin was indeed asleep, but in his sleep, he seemed to hear one or two murmurs. The murmur sounded like Qi Yan, but not like Qi Yan. Because what he said was really disrespectful.
He was muttering disrespectful words in his heart, but those words lingered in his heart. Feng Lin felt pity in his heart. He wanted to open his eyes and say something to that person excitedly, but he was too sleepy and listened in a daze. Drowsily fell asleep.
When Feng Lin woke up the next day, he had no memory of Ye Meng's murmuring. He did nothing else. Qi Yan pretended that he didn't know anything and just did what he should do every day.
The strategy seemed to have fallen into an unprecedented bottleneck period. Although Feng Lin's favorable impression of Qi Yan had never changed, there was no prompt from the system, so he gave up. Qi Yan felt that he had to give Feng Lin a strong dose.
In recent days, for some unknown reason, it has been spread in the harem that a eunuch beside the emperor actually has a broken sleeve, and he admires the emperor!
Suddenly, the harem was in chaos, and the Queen Mother and the Empress had already arrested several groups of eunuchs from the Yangxin Palace for questioning. As the chief eunuch beside the emperor, Qi Yan didn't have his turn so soon.
At first, the emperor did not hear about it. He was busy with political affairs. He had not entered the harem for a long time. In addition, he had the support of the Queen Mother and deliberately concealed it, so he did not tell him. When he heard about it again, it was Qi Yan who was taken away. when.
"What?!" Feng Lin kicked over the stool: "Why didn't anyone report this to me?!"
Xiao Anzi knelt there tremblingly, with a mournful face: "Your Majesty, forgive me! It was the Queen Mother who said that you are busy with political affairs and should not worry about such trivial matters, so she did not let the servants say it!"
Feng Lin took several deep breaths angrily. He didn't care about others, but Qi Yan - he knew! Qi Yan just has his sleeves cut off!
Making a quick decision, Feng Lin put aside everything and rushed to the Queen Mother's palace, feeling even more anxious about Qi Yan.
But don’t let anything happen! The Queen Mother and the Empress are willing to catch the wind and catch the shadow. Even if Qi Yan's crush is not on her, if they find out that she has a broken sleeve, what will happen to her
But when he thought of this, a different feeling suddenly arose in Feng Lin's heart... If Qi Yan's crush was really not on him, would he really feel comfortable watching his best friend throw himself into the arms of another man
With such doubts, Feng Lin hurried to Ci'an Palace without thinking too much.
"Qi Yan, are you really unwilling to tell the truth?!" The Queen Mother glared at Qi Yan who was kneeling in the middle with gleaming eyes: "The Ai family has heard that you are not a real eunuch!"
Qi Yan lowered his eyes, as if he was staying out of the situation. Even his words of defense were light and he didn't take it seriously.
"I have nothing to say to the Queen Mother." Qi Yan said loudly: "If the Queen Mother thinks that Qi Yan has a broken sleeve, then so be it."
First of all, Qi Yan had a broken sleeve. No matter how much the Queen Mother investigated, he could not defend himself. Furthermore, his heart belongs to the emperor, and it would be fine to let Feng Lin know something about it this time, but the stakes are too high, because in addition to the emperor, there is also the power of the harem in this palace. The women headed by the Queen Mother could not let him go.
The rest is to bet on when Feng Lin will come to save him and how far he can save him.
Sure enough, just when the Queen Mother was furious and wanted to torture him, Feng Lin hurried over. The sound of "The Emperor has arrived" made Qi Yan feel relieved, and his pale face also showed a trace of rosy.
… It didn’t disappoint him too much after all, right
"If the Queen Mother wants to harm the people around me, shouldn't she ask her son?" Feng Lin walked in with a sneer and glanced at the women in the palace with a mocking expression: "It depends on the owner to beat a dog, not to mention Qi Yan She has served her sons and ministers since she was a child, and she was appointed by the late emperor. Could it be that the queen mother is suspicious of the late emperor?"
"Emperor!" The queen's face turned pale, and she spoke to her late husband in a polite manner. How could she not be angry: "This servant talks with his heart in mind and talks glibly with the Ai family. Shouldn't he be punished?!"
"Oh? Why didn't I know that Qi Yan could be so smooth-talking?" Feng Lin chuckled and sat down: "Qi Yan, tell me, how did you become so smooth-talking with the Queen Mother?"
Qi Yan lowered his eyes and said nothing, but Feng Lin's teasing tone embarrassed the Queen Mother: "Emperor!"
"The Queen Mother." Feng Lin's tone also darkened: "You are the real mother, but you do such things behind your son's back. Is it possible that the former harem is all handled by the Queen Mother?"
The Queen Mother's face turned pale. She naturally knew that it was not good to do these things without telling the Emperor, but her original intention was also for the Emperor's good!
"emperor… "
"I will take Qi Yan away today." Feng Lin stood up and said coldly to the Queen Mother: "I hope that the Queen Mother will inform me next time she touches someone around me."
With that said, he walked out. When he passed by Qi Yan who was kneeling on the ground, he snorted softly: "What are you still kneeling for?"
Qi Yan sighed inwardly at Feng Lin's domineering president, while bowing his head and thanking the Queen Mother: "Thank you, Queen Mother, for your grace."
Except for Ci'an Palace, Qi Yan sighed almost inaudibly.
"Now you know how to breathe a sigh of relief?" Feng Lin frowned: "You didn't know from the beginning to the end that the Queen Mother took away the people from Yangxin Palace?" Feng Lin didn't believe it, Qi Yan didn't know anything.
Qi Yan lowered his eyes. He naturally knew that every time he used the slaves, he was missing a big dial. He would know what was going on by casually asking around. Feng Lin blamed him for not mentioning it, but he couldn't let go of this opportunity.
"Your Majesty..." Qi Yan suddenly knelt down: "I beg the Emperor to transfer this servant to the palace."
Feng Lin looked at him, still feeling angry: "You are still thinking about traveling to the palace?!"
"Your Majesty, the matter has come to this, and I have to leave..."
"Get up first! Come back to Yangxin Palace with me!"
After saying that, Feng Lin angrily waved his sleeves and walked towards the Yangxin Hall. Qi Yan stared at his back for a long time before standing up and following behind.
After returning to the Yangxin Hall, Feng Lin screened away the others, leaving Qi Yan alone.
"Your Majesty, the matter of the broken sleeves is not based on rumors. The person who spread the rumors may have grasped the slave's sexual orientation and boldly said it. If the slave continues to serve the Emperor, he will definitely cause unnecessary trouble!"
Feng Lin looked at Qi Yan who was kneeling on the ground indifferently, and finally sighed, stepped down from the high platform, and helped him up.
"Qi Yan, tell me, who is the person you like?"
Qi Yan's movements suddenly stopped, making Feng Lin's heart tremble.
"...You can't say it again?"
"The Emperor does not know what is better."
"I can't know that person? Who in this harem can let you protect and hide it like this?" Feng Lin still can't figure it out until now.
If the other party is a eunuch, there is no need to hide anything. If it were any young master from the previous dynasty, Feng Lin thought it was unlikely because Qi Yan was in the harem and had no chance to leave the palace. How could he get to know the young master
