The monarch and his ministers talked for a while, and Xue Lince didn't leave until the afternoon.

Not long after he left, Jing Shan came to meet the little emperor with a letter from the regent's collaborator and treason.

There are too many arduous affairs recently, even Shangshu Ling Jingshan, who has always been calm and calm, is exhausted, his face is a little haggard, and there is a layer of light gray in his eyes.

The little emperor could tell at a glance that his expression was strange, and an ominous feeling suddenly surged in his heart.

"Why does Jing Aiqing look like this? But what happened?"

Jing Shan's Adam's apple rolled up and down for a round, took out the letter from his wide sleeve and spread it out in the palm of his hand, then presented it to the emperor with both hands.

"There is indeed a major event, and it is related to the important officials of the court. A few days ago, the ministers and close friends found these letters in the former residence of Younanhou. The king is suspected of collaborating with the enemy and treason, please ask the emperor to take a look."

As expected, the little emperor's face turned pale and his expression froze. He lowered his eyebrows and saw that the letter "Zong Shiliang" was indeed written in a square shape, and even his temples twitched violently a few times.

After calming down his emotions, he pretended to be calm and took the letters one by one, and then opened them one by one to examine them carefully. The more he looked, the more his brows were tightened, and finally a row of fine sweat broke out on his forehead, slowly following the texture of his skin. Slow down.

"emperor?"

Jing Shan also noticed his strangeness, straightened her body, and took a step forward to ask a question.

The little emperor felt his scalp go numb, his eyes turned white, and subconsciously supported the corner of the table, "Does anyone else know about this letter?"

Jing Shan's eyebrows twitched, "My cousin, my cousin's wife knows."

Hearing that it was these two people, the little emperor felt relieved. He stabilized his mind and put away the letter. With a few simple movements, his face returned to the usual calm and indifferent, but the sweat on his forehead still glistened. With a bright light.

"This matter is so important that it must not be disclosed to the outside world," he said with a serious face, as if covered by a layer of black clouds. "You must not let the wind out."

Jing Shan understood, saluted and answered.

A dark cloud gradually rose in the palace, and the prime minister's mansion was not peaceful.

"It's unreasonable! In just a few days, this Xue Lince has climbed to the third-rank official!"

With a loud shout, Liu Xiang swept all the teacups on the table to the ground with a flick of his sleeves. All kinds of cups made of ceramics shattered in response, the broken porcelain pieces splashed everywhere, and the tea spilled all over the floor with a "plop".

Several girls in the room trembled in fright, quickly shrunk their necks, lowered their heads, and knelt on the ground together, "Master, calm down!"

"Quiet your anger?" Liu Xiangzheng was furious, and directed his anger at the servants, "How to calm your anger? What kind of ability does Xue Lince have? He was just a fifth-rank civil servant stationed in Yuedong, and the emperor was relieved to let him lead [-] soldiers. Going south to rehabilitate, he can still come back alive!"

The more he spoke, the more angry he became, his chest heaved violently, his face was red and white, his eyebrows and hair burst open, as if he had thrown a firecracker on his head, and his face was sweating with excitement.

"He came back alive!" Liu Xiangsheng yelled hoarsely, shaking all the furnishings in the house, "It's unreasonable! He is handsome and promoted, but Zi Shao is still studying in the Imperial Academy! How long will it take? !"

He became excited again, and raised his hand to slap the table. If he didn't know kung fu, the wooden furnishings in this room would not be spared just like the tiles all over the floor.

The maids were terrified by his startled temper, and after he sat down on the stool, one of the bold ones tentatively stepped forward and asked, "Master, do you want to find the young master?"

As soon as Liu Zishao was mentioned, Liu Xiang became annoyed again as if his tail had been stepped on, "What are you doing looking for that trash! If he comes back, let him copy the Four Books and Five Classics fifty times!"

The servants were startled and responded quickly, but no one dared to speak again.

Meanwhile on the other side.

Xue Tang and his wife managed to get free and got out of the haze of the past. They finally had a moment of breathing space, and they were sitting in the courtyard sorting books.

The sun was bright, and before they had time to bring the warmth, when the two of them cuddled together, there was a faint halo on their bodies, which was more moving than an oil painting.

The atmosphere in the courtyard was quiet. At this time, there was a rush of footsteps outside the house. Before the husband and wife raised their heads, they heard someone push open the door and rush in with a "bang". Ran bumped into him, and Chai Jin was following behind him.

"Big news!" Ke Ran yelled, and threw the white letter in his hand on the table with a "snap", obviously out of breath from running, but still chattering endlessly while clutching his stomach.

"Look at who sent this invitation." He looked mysterious, and then raised his voice eight degrees before the two of them took a closer look, "It's the regent! He sent us an invitation specifically, saying that he wanted to invite us Let's go to a small party tonight."

Xue Tang's heart moved, they looked at each other, went forward to take the letter, and sure enough, seeing the handwriting of the Prince Regent's residence on it, they squeezed their heads together and quickly browsed through it.

"If you really want us to go there," Tang Luoyu felt an ominous feeling in his heart, "Why is he like this? Really, he still opposes you as a marquis?"

Xue Lince folded the letter paper, carefully stuffed it back, and shook his head lightly, "Not necessarily, if there is a real objection, he would raise it when he was in court."

"In my opinion," Chai Jin interjected, "No matter what it is, the regent doesn't seem to have good intentions."

"There's a Hongmen banquet," Ke Ran curled her lips, "He's so arrogant, it doesn't matter if we go this time, or if we don't go."

As soon as these words came out, the eyes of the three of them all fell on Xue Lince, as if they were waiting for him to make up his mind.

He was stunned, and glanced at the expressions of the few people, "Of course I'm going. If the regent is really not used to seeing us, he won't use such tricks to deal with us."

Ke Ran stretched her lips into a straight line in dissatisfaction, "I don't worry, I can go, but I have to take all the silver needles with me."

Chai Jin didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and patted him on the shoulder half helplessly and half funny, then looked at Xue Lince, and asked seriously: "No matter what, I think this matter needs to be handled carefully, after all, it is on someone else's territory, if he If we really want to get rough, we have to be fully prepared."

Xue Lince nodded, and exchanged glances with his wife. The two hands were tightly held together under the wide sleeves. The warmth of the other party spread on the skin, which calmed down the uneasiness in his heart.

"At that time, be careful in everything," he told the three of them, "if something really happens, play by ear and adapt to the situation."
