Chapter 349 Night Banquet in Qianjiao Garden (14)

Lou Xiyue also sheathed her sword: "It's boring for you to let me talk about the situation." She asked: "Speaking of which, why are you free to come here today? At this time, you are like a dragon, but you are so busy. Not even a shadow can be seen."

Fu Guan smiled and said: "Once Xiang Feng is imprisoned, he pulls out the carrots and brings out the mud. This will involve more than one or two petty officials. More of the prince's gang members need to be eliminated, so..."

Of course Lou Xiyue understood the reason: "You don't need to explain so much. Who doesn't know that you are busy at the moment? You go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing. You came to see me today. Do you have something to explain?" ?”

Fu Guan: "...Maybe - I just want to see you, that's why I'm here?"

The moment the words fell, Lou Xiyue's cheeks couldn't help but turn a blush. She thought of the painting handed to her by Xuan Yi that day. The people in the painting were lifelike.

"You want to see me, but I'm too lazy to see you." Lou Xiyue turned her head away, unable to look directly into Fu Guan's eyes. She turned around and poured tea to moisten the mulberry, and wiped the blade of the sword again, as if she was very busy.

"If you have anything to say, just say it. I don't have that much time to spend with you."

She looked angry, but also ashamed and angry, without any of the coldness and alienation that she used to have. Fu Guan looked at her quietly for a moment, feeling that her shy and annoyed expression was particularly vivid.

His heart beat hard for a few times, and then he slowly walked forward and got close to her: "Have you received the painting I asked Xuan Yi to give you?"

Fu Guan's voice was slightly hoarse: "You should understand what I mean. What do you think...?"

Hearing this, Lou Xiyue sneered and said, "Oh, you said that painting, of course I received it." She raised her eyes slightly and glanced at him from the corner of her eyes:

"But it's a pity that I have torn the painting into pieces and burned it completely!" She said, "You ask me what I think, and this is my answer. How about it, am I still satisfied?"

Fu Guan: "..." He looked at Lou Xiyue's provocative eyes and almost laughed angrily: "You are really..."

If he hadn't known Lou Xiyue's personality earlier, he would have been really pissed off by her.

"Really torn it apart?"

"Really tear it up." Lou Xiyue said: "Why, you still want to ask for help? Even if you ask me for the painting now, I can't give it to you. If the painting is gone, it is gone. Believe it or not, it's up to you."

"Since the painting has been given to you, what to do with it is naturally up to you. How can I ask for it back?" Fu Guan flicked his sleeves and said calmly: "But since you don't like the painting, I will give it back another day." I’ll give it to you again.”

Lou Xiyue opened her eyes wide: "...Who wants your paintings!"

"Yes, you don't want it, but I want to give it to you." Fu Guan said.

Lou Xiyue gritted her teeth and said: "Okay, you can give it as a gift. If you give me one piece, I will tear it apart. You can try it!"

"Are you really so angry?" Fu Guan said with a smile, "That's all, since you don't want to, I won't force you." He put one hand behind his back and clenched his fist weakly.

He saw that Lou Xiyue was already impatient, so he had to change the subject and said, "Actually, I came here this time to tell you a few things."

Lou Xiyue turned her head and let out a loud "hum".

Fu Guan continued: "There are some clues about Qi Lian's whereabouts. In the past few days, I have been handling the case of Xiang Feng's rebellion and found that Qi Lian has other strongholds in Daxuan. Xuan Yi has been sent out to investigate. I believe it will be very soon. There will be clues soon."

Seeing that he no longer mentioned the painting, Lou Xiyue breathed a sigh of relief. She couldn't help but frowned when she heard the meaning of Fu Guan's words: "You mean he has fled the capital?"

The world is so big and Qi Lian's martial arts is extraordinary, it's not easy to arrest anyone.

Fu Guan: "Qi Lian's whereabouts are unpredictable. It all depends on the news from Xuan Yi." He said: "There are also a few other things. Miss Yan Ruyu of the Yan family testified Xiang Feng's crimes to the Ministry of Punishment a few days ago, and also mentioned Linlang Pavilion.”

"Yan Ruyu?" Lou Xiyue remembered: "Oh, she is the girl who has been deeply in love with you since childhood. After Yan's house was confiscated, she married Xiang Feng as a concubine, and she and Xiang Feng were closely related. , why..." She glanced at Fu Guan and couldn't help but said: "It seems that Miss Yan is really affectionate and has not given up on you - is she doing this for you?"

Fu Guan narrowed his eyes slightly: "...Are you tired of it?"

Lou Xiyue: "What are you going to eat? When it comes to business, don't ramble!"

"Okay." Fu Guan returned to Xiang Feng's case: "It's just that regarding the relationship between Yan Mansion and Linlang Pavilion, Yan Ruyu has concealed a lot of inside information. She deliberately made conditions. She is currently being held in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, awaiting interrogation."

Lou Xiyue nodded: "By the way. Where is Lin Chuyun?"

"At your request, Lin Chuyun, as a witness against Nie Huaishen, has been accompanied by people to protect her. She made meritorious service in the prosecution, and the court also rewarded her." Fu Guan said:

"She has left the Lin family and left the capital three days ago. She has done it according to your arrangement."

Lou Xiyue was silent for a moment and said: "Her side... thank you very much. I owe you a favor this time."

"That's it..." Fu Guanyuan wanted to say a few words of courtesy, but after looking at her expression, he immediately changed his mind: "Okay, I will record this favor for you first. If I need it, please promise me a little favor." requirements.”

Lou Xiyue nodded: "Okay." She raised her head and looked at him: "Do you have anything else to do?" She was about to issue an eviction order.

Fu Guan: "..." Are you in such a hurry to drive people away?

He said: "The last thing - it's getting late, you should freshen up and come with me to the palace to meet the saint."

"Enter the palace?"

"Yes. The Holy Father has issued a decree that a banquet will be held for the officials tonight, and you and I need to attend."

Lou Xiyue was confused: "Well, why did the emperor suddenly hold a big banquet? In this troubled year, the time is not suitable." She asked: "Is there another reason for today's night banquet?"

"You can only know the reason after you go to the banquet." Fu Guandao: "I'm waiting for you outside, don't miss the time."

"Ah."

*
Half an hour later, Lou Xiyue and Fu Guan took a carriage and stopped at the entrance of the palace, and were then guided by the palace staff to the Fanghua Hall where the banquet was held.

When the two arrived, many officials and Madame Gaoming were already present at the banquet. When everyone saw the two of them appearing, they came to say hello.

In recent days, Fu Guan has been favored by the emperor and has an unrivaled reputation. Officials who usually have little friendship with the Xuanping Palace can't help but set their sights on Fu Guan.

"The prince has been busy with government affairs in the past few days, and I have never seen him. Today, when I see the prince, he is still as charming as ever." The visitor said flatteringly:

"I have brewed several jars of fine old wine at my home, and I would like to invite the prince to taste it. I wonder when the prince will be free?"

Fu Guan maintained a lukewarm etiquette on the surface: "Since it's a gift of good wine, I naturally yearn for it. But I haven't been free recently, so I'm afraid I won't be able to fulfill the promise. If there is a chance in the future, we can make another promise."

The adult hit a soft nail, with a smile on his face: "That's it, that's it, government affairs are important, I understand, I understand..."

Lou Xiyue smiled lightly as she watched them talking in official tones, her eyes drifting into the distance unconsciously. She touched Fu Guan's arm lightly and said, "It seems that the Holy Spirit has arrived too."

As soon as he finished speaking, the eunuch shouted from outside the Fanghua Palace: "The Emperor has arrived!——"
