Your Majesty, this outer room is painting a pie for you again!

Chapter 43 Summoned by the Holy Spirit
  Fu Yubai frowned and looked at Li Mingxuan.

Got it!
  Li Mingxuan basically guessed from this look that this person was probably not in a good mood at this time. After coughing, he said seriously: "Hey! You said these people are really big-mouthed. Such a trivial matter is actually a big deal." The rumors are spreading, Jin Shu should not be angry, and there is no need to argue with the villain!"

What you say is really better than what you sing.

Fu Yubai had already known about his friend's temper. He glanced at Li Mingxuan lightly and continued to rush back.

Li Mingxuan originally wanted to show off again, but when he saw his friend like this, he couldn't help but hissed.

"Really angry?"

Then he hurriedly followed.

The two of them had not returned to Duke Ding's mansion, but they were still in the teahouse. Fu Yubai looked indifferent, while Li Mingxuan looked full of curiosity.

However, he was always good at reading facial expressions. Seeing that Fu Yubai looked impatient at this moment, he didn't ask any questions even though he was full of curiosity.

Ruo Chun came back after a while, and just as he was about to whisper in his ear, Li Mingxuan stopped him.

"Hey! Is there anything else we brothers shouldn't know about each other? Ruochun, you dare to say it!"

Ruochun was stunned for a moment and looked at his master hurriedly.

Fu Yubai nodded.

"Sir, this matter was reported from the Dali Temple Shaoqing's Mansion. Mr. Zhao had a discussion with Mrs. Zhao after he returned home. Mrs. Zhao went out early today."

"I also went to the city gate and waited, but the carriage at the guild house had already left."

After Ruochun finished speaking, even Li Mingxuan couldn't help but be stunned.

After a while, Li Mingxuan couldn't help but frown and looked at Fu Yubai.

"They are still waiting to watch the excitement?"

What a leisure time!
  Fu Yubai could actually guess that this matter couldn't be hidden, but he didn't expect it to spread so quickly.

Now almost everyone in Beijing knows what happened last night.

It seems that the power of gossip cannot be underestimated.

"What are you going to do?"

Buckle.

The box door was knocked.

Li Mingxuan glanced at it and then looked at Fu Yubai.

Fu Yubai raised his hand, Ruo Chun opened the door and saw the servant in the house.

"Third Master, someone is coming to the palace. His Majesty summoned him and asked the Third Master to enter the palace immediately."

Fu Yubai nodded and then stood up.

"Huh?" Li Mingxuan also stood up hurriedly and looked at Fu Yubai with a worried frown. "Your Majesty summoned you to the palace at this time must be because of the matter in the outer chamber. You have to think carefully along the way. Don't go against His Majesty!"

They all knew what happened in the Dingguo Palace, and it was precisely because of their knowledge that they were always wary and resentful of the emperor, but Li Mingxuan was worried that Fu Yubai would quarrel with His Majesty.

Fu Yubai glanced at Li Mingxuan, pointed at his brain, and left without saying a word.

Li Mingxuan paused.

"What does he mean?"

Of course no one answered his boring question.

Fu Yubai entered the palace directly.

When they arrived at Zhengqian Palace, Li Yanji was reviewing the memorial.

"Your Majesty, my Majesty, long live my emperor."

Li Yanji put down the memorial and looked at the man kneeling down.

When they were young, the two had a very good relationship. At that time, he was still an unpopular prince. Without Fu Yubai's protection, life would have been even more difficult.

He kept these feelings in his heart, but after becoming the emperor and empress, the emperor had too many things he couldn't help but. The brothers who were once good friends gradually drifted apart, and even now they are separated from each other.

"Get up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

After Fu Yubai stood up, he still had his eyes lowered, with a respectful and distant look, which finally made Li Yanji sigh.

"Jinshu, you are complaining about me." It is not a question, but a statement of facts.

"Wei Chen dare not."

The answer was quite satisfactory.

Li Yanji shook his head and laughed.

"You and I have been brothers for many years. You should know who I am, so you still think that the affairs of Duke Dingguo have something to do with me?"

"Don't you think that I will kill Duke Dingguo, who once gave me great help?"

A series of words completely tore apart the barrier and suspicion between them.

Fu Yubai raised his eyes and looked at the emperor.

"Your Majesty summoned ministers to come here today. Is this the reason for this?"

His avoidance made Li Yanji frown.

Both of them knew very well that this matter was the root cause of the drifting apart between them. He had already opened his mouth to explain, but Fu Yubai did not intend to talk more. How could the emperor be satisfied with this attitude?
  "You should know exactly why I summoned you to the palace."

"I don't know."

Fu Yubai lowered his eyes again.

Li Yan took a deep breath angrily.

Although I knew Fu Yubai's personality had always been like this, I still felt irritated by this confrontation.

"I am deeply saddened by what happened to Duke Ding, but I have never taken action against Duke Ding."

Li Yanji seemed a little irritable. After saying this, he changed the topic.

"Your wife doesn't look like a quiet person. If you really don't want to marry Rushi, just say so. I won't force you, and there's no need for you to ruin your reputation."

It is a pity that Mr. Jinshu, who is famous all over Kyoto, ended up like this.

Fu Yubai was silent.

After a while, he raised his eyes and looked at Li Yanji.

"Your Majesty is right, but if His Majesty really gave me a choice, then why was the imperial edict granting marriage sent directly to the house? When Your Majesty issued the edict, did you really give me a chance to refuse?"

It’s better to say than to sing.

If he hadn't had an idea at that time, he might have become the Prince Consort by now.

Li Yanji's expression paused.

"I'm doing this for your own good."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

The answer was smooth, but that was all.

Li Yanji had known Fu Yubai's character for a long time. Even if he was hit with a soft knife at this time, Li Yanji would not necessarily be that angry.

He took a deep look at Fu Yubai and knew that Fu Yubai would not say another word if they talked about the Dingguo Palace again, so he changed the subject.

"Do you know the identity of the outer chamber?"

When Fu Yubai heard this, he suddenly looked at Li Yanji, with a storm brewing in his eyes.

"What do you mean by your Majesty's words?"

Seeing Fu Yubai like this, Li Yanji couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

"It seems that you attach great importance to that outer room." Seeing Fu Yubai's face became a little more ugly, he twitched the corner of his mouth and said: "I know you are not the kind of person who lets someone go without any reason, you are just a shield. That's all, if you like to keep me, that's up to you, but don't make it too big and make people laugh."

Come to think of it, he had also heard the rumors in Kyoto, especially the incident yesterday when Su Jiao and her two children were caught gambling at the city gate.

Sure enough, no rumor could escape the emperor's ears.

But Fu Yubai didn't think too much about this. Not only that, he even looked at Li Yanji with an indifferent look.

There was a hint of sarcasm at the corner of his mouth.

"Your Majesty, aren't there enough jokes in Duke Dingguo's mansion?"
