Yan Cigui.

Li Shao does know.

When Liu Xun mentioned Xu Jian, he could not hide the malice in his tone.

And he allowed Liu Xun to be a follower because Liu Xun and Xu Jian were brothers and two people.

I just didn’t expect that Liu Xun was a scammer!

Liu Xun didn't have the guts to harm him, but he couldn't resist someone who was bold enough to set a trap for him through Liu Xun!

Xu Jian smiled and said: "I personally handled the paperwork for Mrs. Xu's reconciliation with Liu Jing. A'Ping has not changed her surname yet. Your Highness reminded me that she is now also a girl from the Fuguo Duke's mansion. I should give it to you." She changed her surname to Xu.

The kindness I showed to Liu Jing and Liu Xun was to ask the Holy One to spare their lives. It was not that I was unwilling to kill, but I just didn’t want Mrs. Xu and A-Ping to go through that hurdle.

Besides, after all, they were biological fathers and brothers, so even if they were recorded in the Xu family, mourning would be unavoidable.

He was given to Liu Jing for three years to delay his marriage to the princess.

I can't let the two of them delay the important events of my life, right? "

Li Shao:......

It is well-founded and cannot be refuted.

Especially since he had seen Xu Jian and Ning An getting along with each other with his own eyes. Naturally, there would not be much intimacy in front of others, but whether there was any friendship could still be seen at a glance.

Besides, when Xu Jian cheated on him, Ning An also contributed a lot, just someone who fell asleep under the covers.

After being hit by Xu Jian's series of words, Li Shao could no longer remember what he was originally pursuing.

Xu Jian still took the initiative: "You are the prince, and some people will plot against you and put people around you. If you are not the prince, those people will not be completely relieved. They will still have people lurking around you."

Li Shao could hear this: "Indeed."

"What about Eunuch Wang?" Xu Jian said tentatively, "I remember that he is from Yongji Palace."

"He doesn't dare!" Li Shao sneered, "I just hit him yesterday about Feng Chang. You didn't see that he was so frightened that his face turned pale."

"Did you tell him that Feng Chang was there?" Xu Jian asked again.

"He asked," Li Shao hummed, "I just hit him a few times."

"It's time to beat him. I see that he is usually very clever. As long as he doesn't have any evil intentions, he is always useful." Xu Jian changed the subject, "Have you talked to him about 'Eunuch Tong'?"

The conversation went smoothly, and Li Shao was not defensive at all, let alone thought about it: "I just mentioned it."

Xu Jian's eyes darkened.

He had guessed this would be the case.

It was somewhat expected that Li Shao would be tricked by Wang Gouzi.

When Wang Gouzi got the news, he would definitely pass it on to the higher authorities. He suddenly disappeared, so he was probably going his own way.

Xu Jian looked outside the window again and didn't mention Wang Gouzi again.

Li Shao, on the other hand, gradually became impatient and said, "Did he fall into the toilet? He hasn't been seen for so long!"

Xu Jian held a pen in her hand, and while writing, she replied casually: "Maybe there is something delayed?"

"What can happen to him?" Li Shao sneered.

Another two quarters of an hour passed before Wang Gouzi showed up.

Li Shao looked at him dissatisfied: "Where have you gone? No one has replenished the tea."

Wang Gouzi smiled apologetically and said, "I just heard some adults talking about the weather, saying that the clouds were thick and it might be windy and rainy in the evening. You are wearing thin clothes today, so I hurried back to Yuqing Palace to give you some advice." You bring me a cloak."

Li Shao's unhappiness faded away after seeing the cloak on Wang Gouzi's wrist.

No wonder after being away for so long, it made sense to go back to the palace.

The intentions are good, and the things done are good, but this charter is not right.

Li Shao scolded: "There are no rules. Remember to tell me before going next time. Okay, let's make a new pot of tea." Wang Gouzi apologized again and again, hung up his cloak, took the teapot and hurriedly went.

Xu Jian glanced at Wang Gouzi's busy back, then looked away, and only talked about business with Li Shao.

During the lunch break, some officials went to nearby noodle restaurants, and some officials brought out meals brought from home.

Wang Gouzi has already made preparations for Li Shao and is serving His Highness his meal.

Xu Jian got up and went out to wash her hands.

Shen Chen came to deliver lunch, carrying a food box, and followed Xu Jian. He lowered his voice and said, "I didn't follow. He entered the palace and I can't follow."

Xu Jian nodded slightly.

Shen Chen was just outside the Yamen, waiting for orders but also acting according to circumstances.

Seeing Wang Gouzi leaving the Yamen, he followed him quietly, but the man slipped into the palace gate.

From this point of view, the person who contacted him should be someone from the palace.

In this case, Xu Jian should not act too slowly. He should ask the father-in-law whom he recognized earlier.

Li Shao had already alerted the enemy, so Xu Jian no longer had to think about how cautious he should be, and just went to look for the person.

As for what will happen after Wang Gouzi spreads the news...

The person behind the scenes is used to cutting off the tail. This time, I don’t know if it will be cut off or if it will continue...

The sun is to the west.

The capital was shrouded in the red light of sunset.

In the yard, Eunuch Tong was sitting on a stool, with a medicinal mill in front of him, and he was grinding medicinal powder on the milling plate under his feet.

There were footsteps outside, and he couldn't help but pause. He raised his eyes and looked at the door. Soon, he saw clearly the appearance of the person coming.

It's Cheng Xi.

"Why are you free..." As soon as he started talking, Eunuch Tong noticed that Cheng Xi's expression was not quite right, and he couldn't help but feel a thump in his heart, "What happened?"

Cheng Xi closed the door, turned around and whispered: "I came here in my spare time, and I just want to ask you one thing."

Eunuch Tong put down his feet, moved the medicine grinder aside, and rubbed his hands: "You ask."

Cheng Xi listened and said, "Well, Feng Neishi mentioned 'Eragon Tong', do you have any clues that fell into his hands?"

Eunuch Tong's eyes suddenly widened and he said in shock: "Who? Feng Chang? I've never seen him before!"

Cheng Xi hesitated and said, "Think about it more carefully?"

"I have no clue at all," Eunuch Tong paced back and forth in the room, "Does the master know?"

Cheng Xi shook his head: "I haven't reported the news that Wang Gouzi just sent to my master. Have you really had no contact with Feng Chang?"

"I was purified when I was five years old. I am probably older than Feng Chang when I was on duty," Tong Gong said. "I was not responsible for his entry into the palace. I was no longer in the palace at that time. Where can I contact him?

If you hadn't said that the master placed him in the East Palace and that he fell into the hands of Eunuch Cao, I wouldn't have known there was such a person! "

Cheng Xi couldn't help but nod when he heard this, then thought about it and asked, "Then who looked after Feng Chang before he came to Beijing? Is it Old Huang Li? You don't recognize him, but he recognizes you?"

Eunuch Tong looked worried: "What else did Feng Chang say?"

"I don't know, just the one sentence in the report," Cheng Xi said, "There are so many trivial things, I can't remember them all. Let me look through the book and see where Feng Chang came from."

Cheng Xi said and was about to leave: "You should think about it again and tell me whatever comes to mind."

As soon as he turned his back, his arm was held by Eunuch Tong.

I'm not in a good state today, so I'm just updating one chapter, please forgive me.
