imperial concubine

Chapter 78
Su Wan's personality has never been like this, and this strange behavior of serving tea today made Fang Yuanli a little confused.Su Wan must have encountered a difficult matter, so she served herself so carelessly just now.

Seeing the puzzled look on Fang Yuanli's face, Su Wan smiled awkwardly.Although he could get information out of Fang Yuanli's mouth, doing so would only achieve Su Huaiyuan's goal, but would destroy his lonely image in Fang Yuanli's heart.

So Su Wan didn't directly extract information from Fang Yuanli, but put herself in a position where she wanted to ask someone but was too embarrassed to ask.Sure enough, Fang Yuanli walked down his own path.

After laughing, Su Wan quickly shook her head and waved her hands and said, "Of course not. It's just that I miss you too much, so I just want to meet you. Wan'er has no other intentions."

After speaking, Su Wan lowered her head.Fang Yuanli looked at Su Wan who was so nervous that he was at a loss, and he was even more sure that Su Wan wanted to ask for something, but he just didn't want to lose face in front of him, so he was embarrassed to speak up.

Fang Yuanli frowned slightly, then saw the bowl of fragrant tea on the table, and said with a smile: "It's okay, just say it straight. You and I are already in love with each other, why can't we just say it straight?"

Fang Yuanli loved Su Wan very much.Not only because of Su Wan's outstanding talent and unparalleled appearance; but also because Fang Yuanli saw her shadow in Su Wan.As for that person, Fang Yuanli always felt a little guilty in his heart.

Hearing Fang Yuanli's words, Su Wan said eagerly, "My lord, in fact, Su Wan came to you because he really wanted to ask your lord something. I just don't know whether I should ask about it."

Su Huaiyuan wanted to use his relationship with Fang Yuanli to find out what happened to Su Lin.There is another layer of meaning in it, as long as he asks for help, Fang Yuanli will definitely not stand idly by.

When Fang Yuanli takes action, all problems will naturally be solved.Su Huaiyuan was able to resolve Su Lin's matter with just a few words.It's just that although Su Huaiyuan's idea was very good, Fang Yuanli would never let him go.

Fang Yuanli, who was sitting at the table, looked at Su Wan and said with a smile, "Why should I? We can talk about anything between you and me, and what's yours is mine. If there's anything, it's okay to talk about it. "

Although he didn't know what was going to make Su Wan difficult, but Fang Yuanli was now in the court, and it could be said that one person was under one man and over ten thousand people, and there were very few things that could not be resolved, so he said such bold words just now.

Seeing Fang Yuanli with a calm and calm face, Su Wan nodded and said, "Then I'll say it." As he spoke, he carefully looked at Fang Yuanli's face, seeing that the warm smile on his face had not changed, and continued: " Su Lin was so amazing at the Sutra Banquet, why did His Majesty only appoint Su Lin as the Chancellor of Taichang Temple? This is inconsistent with the old practice."

Those who can perform amazingly at the sutra banquet will usually be promoted by His Majesty's decree, and it is even said that they will be promoted to three levels in a row.Even if Su Lin's performance is mediocre, he will definitely not fall to the level he is today.

Hearing Su Wan's question, Fang Yuanli's face froze, and then he said with a smile: "Wan'er, don't worry. Your Majesty just wants Su Lin to hone in the officialdom. When he is honed, His Majesty will know what to do." Use."

Why Su Lin fell to this point, Su Wan knew clearly.It's just that he didn't expect Fang Yuanli to come up with such a reason to prevaricate himself in such a short period of time.Even if I am trapped by love, can I be perfunctory by you?

Thinking of this, Su Wan frowned and said, "But father didn't say that." After saying that, Su Wan immediately covered her mouth and exclaimed, as if she accidentally said the wrong thing.

Seeing Fang Yuanli's eyebrows raised, Su Wan hurriedly remedied and said: "Father said that he couldn't figure out His Majesty's intentions, so he wanted me to come over and ask if Su Lin bumped into someone at the Sutra Banquet. So that's why?"

Fang Yuanli heard Su Wan's words verbatim, which words were said by Su Wan and which words were said by Su Huaiyuan, Fang Yuanli naturally knew in his heart, but he didn't take the initiative to expose Su Wan's tricks .

Hearing Su Wan finished speaking, Fang Yuanli sighed and said, "Your Majesty is right. I shouldn't have lied to you." After speaking, Fang Yuanli let out a long breath, and solemnly addressed Su Wan. Said: "The next thing you can only tell your father."

Fang Yuanli's sentence was neither a request nor an inquiry, but an affirmation.Thinking about it, what Fang Yuanli said next must be extremely important, otherwise he wouldn't have put on such a dignified expression.

Standing in front of Fang Yuanli, Su Wan looked like a student who had made a mistake. She shrank her neck slightly, blinked her eyes and nodded to Fang Yuanli frequently, "I understand, my lord. After I go back, I will only tell my father .”

Seeing Su Wan's expression like an innocent deer, Fang Yuanli couldn't help but feel pity and anger in his heart, Su Wan is still so innocent, Su Huaiyuan, how can you bear to let Su Wan participate in this muddy water come among?
Thinking about it, Fang Yuanli shook his head, and then said to Su Wan: "Actually, everything is very simple to say. It's not that Su Lin bumped into someone at the Sutra Banquet, and it's not that he had a problem entering the lecture. The reason why he has such It’s all because he got the book.”

Su Wan blinked and looked at Fang Yuanli innocently, as if she didn't know what Fang Yuanli was talking about.It seems that she was not the one who sent Su Lin into this bottomless abyss with one hand.

Xiu Mei frowned slightly, Su Wan pretended to be thinking hard, and after a while, she suddenly realized: "You mean, the reason why Su Lin is disliked by His Majesty is all because of the "Chen Shu" that he compiled. ?”

Fang Yuanli nodded slightly.When His Majesty asked him about the book about the border conflict, Fang Yuanli felt something was wrong.Judging from the expression of Emperor Chongwen before, he was undoubtedly very satisfied with Su Lin.But in an instant, Emperor Chongwen's face changed, and then he recovered immediately, but he still did not escape Fang Yuanli's eyes.

After returning to the study, Emperor Chongwen went as usual.It's just that when I went to court today, I heard rumors about Su Lin's rising and falling.The extremely keen Fang Yuanli immediately felt that all this was related to the instant change of Emperor Chongwen's face at the Sutra feast.

Afterwards, Fang Yuanli carefully recalled the scene at that time, and only remembered that the young man standing beside Su Wan asked: "Emperor Jing's blood is cut off, there is no one in the family, and the clan has no descendants." The answer to the question was why Emperor Chongwen's complexion changed abruptly, and he suddenly left the Sutra banquet and returned to the imperial study.

After careful consideration, Fang Yuanli discovered that what happened to Su Lin today was closely related to his answer at that time.After thinking carefully for a while, Fang Yuanli finally thought about the whole thing clearly.

At this time, when Su Wan mentioned the name of the book again, Fang Yuanli nodded slowly, "Exactly. It is because of that book that His Majesty changed his mind and put Su Lin in a Qingshui yamen."

Hearing that Emperor Chongwen really fell for the trick, Su Wan nodded secretly in her heart. It seemed that even though Emperor Chongwen sat on the throne, he still couldn't change the habit of random suspicion.He just probed lightly, and he exposed the fox's tail.

However, Su Wan still pretended to be puzzled and puzzled, "My lord, it's just a word, it's not a big deal. How could His Majesty be so angry because of a word?"

Seeing Su Wan's bewildered expression, Fang Yuanli shook his head, as expected, he was not deeply involved in the world.The darkness in the officialdom is far beyond imagination. Not to mention being ignored by His Majesty just because of a single word, there are many people who have their heads beheaded because of a single action!
After thinking about it, Fang Yuanli did not tell Su Wan these words.He didn't want such a pure girl to be contaminated by the darkness in the officialdom.For Su Wan, as long as she maintains such a pure personality, she can protect her well.

Therefore, Fang Yuanli sighed and said: "Your Majesty is most taboo about the affairs of the Chen Dynasty. His Majesty is already very upset that Su Lin talked about the Chen Dynasty on the Jingyan. It's just that Su Lin is very talented and learned so he didn't get angry."

"I didn't expect that Su Lin would dare to attack Chen Chao openly, and even used metaphors to insinuate himself. His Majesty, who was suppressing the anger in his heart, was naturally furious. But he didn't want to show up, so he had to send Su Lin to the Taichang Temple."

Hearing that the process Fang Yuanli described was exactly as she had imagined, a slight smile appeared on the corner of Su Wan's mouth, and then disappeared immediately.

After pausing for a while, Su Wan asked Fang Yuanli with a frown, "It's just a book, why is Your Majesty so taboo? What's more, what Su Lin said that day was not just that sentence."

Su Wan naturally pondered Emperor Chongwen's thoughts more thoroughly than Fang Yuanli.Now that Emperor Chongwen's throne has been snatched from the royal family of the Chen Dynasty, he is naturally worried that the civil servants will write something on the history books to scold him.

Fang Yuanli looked at the tea and took a sip, and explained: "Emperor Jing's blood is cut off, there is no one in the clan, and the clan has no heirs. This sentence obviously does not make sense. As far as Su Lin is concerned, this kind of mistake should not be made." .”

"Even if the writing doesn't make sense, the punishment shouldn't be so severe." Su Wan pretended to be a good sister, and argued with Fang Yuanli, as if she wanted to persuade Fang Yuanli to help her younger brother solve the matter.

Fang Yuanli, who was dressed in purple court clothes, shook his head, "Of course it's more than that. Although Your Majesty is a little suspicious, it's not so desolate and narrow-minded. The most important thing is that you should take a look at the word Chongwen."

Su Wan lowered her eyes, but raised her head in a moment, and looked at Fang Yuanli with terrified eyes. It seemed that Fang Yuanli's words just now had a terrifying power.

Looking into Su Wan's eyes, Fang Yuanli knew that she must have thought of the answer, nodded and said, "It is precisely because of this that Your Majesty has placed Su Lin in this position."

Su Wan tightly covered her mouth, tears were rolling in her eyes, and there was a look of pleading towards Fang Yuanli in her eyes, she looked extremely pitiful.

Fang Yuanli did not speak.After a long time, Su Wan finally stabilized his emotions, and asked with a crying voice: "My lord, Su Lin didn't do it on purpose, please read it for Su Lin's young age, and help him."

Fang Yuanli sighed, looked at Su Wan in front of him and said, "I know that Su Lin didn't do it on purpose, and His Majesty also knows that Su Lin didn't do it on purpose, but Su Lin has already written these four words, even if he didn't do it on purpose, His Majesty will definitely We must punish him, otherwise how can we strengthen the king's prestige?"

Hearing Fang Yuanli's words, Su Wan immediately slumped down on a chair beside her.The teardrops in the eyes rolled down, although she didn't cry out, but there was a kind of pain that touched the heart and lungs.

Seeing Su Wan crying so sadly, Fang Yuanli stepped forward and hugged Su Wan tightly in his arms to show comfort.

After a long time, Su Wan just stopped crying, and asked Fang Yuanli in a trembling voice, "My lord, is there any other possibility for this matter? If Su Lin's official career is bleak, I'm afraid Wan'er will have a bad life in the future."
