Chapter 18
Outside Fanghua Palace, a young man with a face like a crown of jade was leaning on the tree trunk, holding a reed leaf in his mouth, looking foolish.

With the sound of footsteps, Lu Li walked down the steps.

The man heard the movement and turned around with a smile on his face: "Oh, are you willing to come out? I thought I would wait here until tomorrow morning!"

"Don't talk nonsense." Lu Li's face was gloomy.

The other party was not intimidated by him at all, and still had that mean smile on his face: "Why, you have done everything, and you are still afraid of people talking about it?"

Lu Li stood still, his face darkening completely: "Duan Ran, if you can't control your mouth anymore, I don't mind letting you shut it up forever!"

Duan Ran smiled and raised his hands as a sign of surrender: "That's right, I don't want to say anything! It's true—you've been grinding your teeth with those old bastards in the court because of her. Who doesn't know who she is? Be careful with your meat!"

Lu Li snorted coldly, turned around and left.

Duan Ran followed quickly: "Hey, why don't you ask me what I found?"

Lu Li didn't intend to talk to him.

Duan Ran had no choice but to say to himself: "That old fox Su Yi is very careful in his actions, he can be said to be watertight—you think he knew you were going to investigate him?"

Lu Li walked in silence for a long time, and finally stopped: "He has always been cautious, but it's not just recently. But since it's a fox, he must have a tail. If you can't find anything, you'll have a tail in the future." You don't have to come see me."

"Hey, hey, you don't have to be like this! Brother, I was born and died for you, so you just give up if you say so?" Duan Ran yelled aggrievedly.

Lu Li walked slowly to the edge of the Reflecting Moon Pool and stood still, his face sinking like water, wondering what he was thinking.

Duan Ran didn't dare to show off anymore, so he could only reluctantly say: "It's not like I got nothing. Yesterday evening, the eyeliner I arranged intercepted a pigeon outside the general's residence."

Lu Li turned around.

Duan Ran took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and handed it to him: "The strange books in the old fox's study that I couldn't understand, I had been thinking about them for several months, until I saw this letter - I think, this The numbers and symbols above are the secrets hidden in those books."

After Lu Li unfolded the paper, he sneered and said, "Sure enough..."

Duan Ran grinned and smiled again: "The old fox has evil intentions, there is no doubt about it. When are you going to strike?"

Lu Li said lightly, "Don't worry. From now on, you can just continue to pay attention to his correspondence with other people, and don't worry about other things."

Duan Ran rushed over immediately, grabbing his shoulders with both hands: "He is thinking about your country, you are 'not in a hurry'? When did you become so kind? I think you should be honest: you don't rush That old fox, is it because the timing is not ripe, or is it - he can't bear to part with that woman in the Palace of Youth?"

Lu Li shook off the two paws on his shoulders, his eyes turned cold.

Duan Ran showed a smile of "I understand": "I know, I know, I don't love Jiangshan and beauties! You just ate that beauty, and it's inevitable that you will be soft-hearted for a while! According to me, you can't do anything about this matter." You don’t need to hide it, just admit it openly! Although she is now your queen mother, isn’t your cheap daddy dead? It’s reasonable for you to take over his country and take over his woman by the way Among them. Everyone understands, understands!"

There is no reason to speak in front of a fool, so Lu Li wisely chose to remain silent.

Duan Ran didn't intend to shut up.He laughed twice, and grabbed Lu Li's sleeve again: "Hey, can you tell me, how does forbidden love taste? Is it extra exciting, more exciting than going over a wall to steal fragrance and jade? Before you I have flirted with that woman for several years without piercing the window paper, and now I have become a 'mother and son', why did they sleep together in a blink of an eye? Is that woman unwilling to be lonely, or do you prefer this one?"

Lu Li clenched his fist, aimed at that hateful smiling face and threw it down.

Duan Ran shrieked and dodged, and laughed loudly: "Isn't it possible to become angry from embarrassment? Who can hide the matter between the two of you? I heard today that Cheng Yu's kid suddenly became ill and fell ill—" —Do you dare to say that this matter has nothing to do with you?"

"Cheng Yu, is your heart hurting?" Lu Li frowned.

Duan Ran laughed loudly and said: "Yo, yo, what a smell of jealousy! I said, don't worry about it too much! Although that woman is a bit half-hearted, but that bookworm Cheng Yu must not have the guts to touch her. Wearing a cuckold is not very practical, so... bear with it and it will pass!"

Lu Li narrowed his eyes and looked at him dangerously: "The Minister of Taichang Temple quarreled with me again yesterday. He said that the burial of living people is an ancestral precept and should not be abolished rashly. He suggested that I choose one or two people from the family to live in the imperial mausoleum." , to accompany the Emperor Daxing around."

When Duan Ran heard the words "stay in the imperial mausoleum", he immediately faltered: "Master, please forgive me, pretend I didn't say anything..."
