When Yan Wenjin came over happily, he happened to see his second brother sitting in the pavilion with Mu Ziling, the two seemed to be saying something, and his second brother was naturally and affectionately holding Mu Ziling's hand.

Squinting and looking at the spot for a long time, Yan Wenjin touched his smooth chin, turned his head, and asked Wei Jiang, the guard who was following him, with a smile: "The second prince and the princess are very compatible, right?" ”

Wei Jiang had a paralyzed face, and responded with an "um".

"......" I feel very insincere.

Pouting, Yan Wenhao threw a white eye at him, then shook him off and ran into the pavilion with a fart.

Inside the gazebo.

Yan Wenhao's expression was complicated, and he said to Mu Ziling seriously: "Modesty, after lunch tomorrow, can you go to the study with me?" ”

There was a hint of determination in the tone of his voice, which made Mu Ziling listen to it, and he couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart.

"You ......"

Mu Ziling had just opened his mouth and was about to ask, but suddenly heard an unfamiliar voice ringing in his ears, and along with this voice, there was also a big head.

With a small "ah", Mu Ziling's eyes widened, and after coming back to his senses, he took a deep breath, and then turned to look at the person who came.

After seeing who it was, Mu Ziling couldn't help but frown slightly: "Fourth Highness? ”

Yan Wenjin has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and his walking steps are extremely light, he has always been very arrogant, and he never pays attention, so this time he appeared so suddenly, which really startled Mu Ziling.

Seeing Mu Ziling's reaction, Yan Wenjin immediately realized that she was scaring him, so she raised her hand and scratched her head embarrassedly, and said apologetically: "Sister-in-law, I didn't mean to scare you, I'm sorry." ”

may have been immune to the word 'sister-in-law', but now that Mu Ziling heard this title, he would no longer be as embarrassed as the first time.

Hearing this formal apology, Mu Ziling was stunned, and after reacting, he shook his head and replied softly, "It's okay." As he spoke, his frown loosened, and a gentle smile appeared on his face.

Han laughed twice, Yan Wenjin sat down on the stone bench, and instantly regained his vitality, his eyes were shining, he leaned his face forward, and asked curiously: "Second brother, sister-in-law, what were you talking about just now?" ”

"It's just a matter of telling Sù Qian and some interesting things in the palace."

Glancing at Yan Wenjin, Yan Wenhao suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, if he hadn't appeared in time, he was afraid that in the face of Mu Ziling's puzzled gaze and inquiry, he would not be able to help but tell the truth today.

But at this time, he hadn't cleared his mind yet, and he didn't know how to say it...... He needed at least time to think and organize the language.

Thinking of this, the corners of Yan Wenhao's mouth rose, looked at Yan Wenjin gently, and asked aloud, "Why are you here?" ”

Yan Wenjin blinked and replied very honestly: "I went to the palace today to see my mother, and I made a lot of pastries with my mother, and when I was leaving, she asked me to bring some to your second brother." ”

After speaking, he turned around and took a small food box from Wei Jiang's hand, put the food box on the stone table, and then complained with a flat mouth: "The mother concubine is very eccentric, and she makes all the pastries you like, second brother." ”

"If the concubine hears your words, she should be sad." Shaking his head and chuckling, Yan Wenhao raised his hand and knocked on his head, his eyes full of helplessness.

Reaching out to open the food box, Yan Wenhao took out several pastries neatly placed in it one by one, and then he pushed two of them in front of Mu Ziling, and said in a gentle tone: "The craftsmanship of the concubine is excellent, and I will give you a taste." ”

The two things he pushed over happened to be Mu Ziling's two favorite pastries.

Noticing this detail, Mu Ziling couldn't help but feel a warmth in his heart, and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth. Without refusal, he picked up a piece of pastry and tasted it, then smiled and praised: "It is indeed extremely delicious." ”

"Then eat more modestly." Yan Wenhao smiled softly at him.

At this moment, Fuquan, who had just gone to the hall to fetch Xiao, walked into the pavilion, holding a verdant hole flute in both hands, and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, you want Xiao." ”

Taking Xiao from Fuquan's hand, Yan Wenhao turned to look at Mu Ziling, his eyes were full of smiles: "Xiao has already taken it, would you like to play a song with me?" ”

"Okay." Bowing slightly, Mu Ziling smiled confidently: "Then I will ask Your Highness for advice." ”

Seeing this, Yan Wenjin was the most excited, he happily supported his face with one hand, looked at Yan Wenhao for a while, and looked at Mu Ziling for a while, his eyes were bright, and his expression was full of expectation.

Raising his eyes, Mu Ziling looked at Yan Wenhao, who was leaning sideways on the pavilion pillar, and unconsciously showed a faint smile in his eyes.

He withdrew his gaze, lowered his head, and focused on the lyre in front of him, and raised his hands slightly, and slowly plucked the strings with his slender fingers......

Taking in the young man's expression, Yan Wenhao hooked his lips and smiled, he waved his hand and put the dong flute close to his lips, and after a while, the long-distance and ethereal Xiao Yin joined the previous qin sound, and the two merged into one, and together they produced an impassioned, heroic and tragic Guangling San.

When he stopped playing, Mu Ziling's fingertips were still trembling slightly, he looked at the lyre in front of him in a daze, remembering the tacit understanding between himself and Yan Wenhao when he was playing in the ensemble just now, and there was a thought in his heart, it seemed that he was about to rush out soon!

Raising his head suddenly, he opened his eyes wide and looked straight at Yan Wenhao, and Yan Wenhao happened to be looking at him, his eyes were unusually soft, and the two met in the air, and they both saw the surging love in each other's eyes very clearly.

“……”

Quickly looking away, Mu Ziling stood up, he no longer looked at Yan Wenhao, but lowered his eyes, said a word quickly, and then hugged the qin on the stone table, his steps were hurried, and he turned around and left without looking back.

Looking at his departing back, Yan Wenhao's gaze was deep, but he never said anything to keep him.

Seeing Mu Ziling leave, Yan Wenjin's eyes widened, with an inexplicable expression, he turned his head to look at Yan Wenhao, and couldn't help asking, "What's wrong with him?" ”

"Maybe it's urgent." Yan Wenhao smiled at him and replied extremely perfunctory.

"Oh......" Knowing that his second brother didn't want to answer, Yan Wenjin also stopped asking with interest.

Put Xiao back in Fu Quan's hand, motioned for Fu Quan to put it away again, and then Yan Wenhao walked to the stone bench and sat down, he lightly tapped the table with his index finger, pondered for a while, and said: "Fourth brother, you came to me today, but because of Li Zezhang's matter?" ”

Shaking her head, Yan Wenjin restrained the smile on her face, and her expression became stern: "It's not for Li Zezhang's business, it's my mother who asked me to come and tell you a word for her." ”

"You say."

"Mother asked me to sue you, don't be too anxious, put yourself in danger, everything needs to be carefully considered, think carefully, remember to take care of yourself The most important thing is to take care of yourself."

Yan Wenhao's heart trembled, knowing that Concubine Xian must have guessed something, but she didn't ask, she just reminded herself in her words and cared about herself, which made him feel warm in his heart.

Smiling gently, he said to Yan Wenjin: "If you sue Concubine Sù for me, just say that I will remember." ”

******

Panlong Palace, the imperial study.

Emperor Yan stared at the twists and turns in front of him, frowning, his expression was solemn, he held a cinnabar pen in his hand, but he didn't put down the pen for a long time, and he left the imperial approval.

-- This recital is the same recital that Lu Yanming impeached Li Zezhang.

Thinking of the piles and piles in the court today, Emperor Yan's eyes flashed, his expression was thoughtful, his left index finger lightly tapped the table a few times, and he was silent for a long time, and then, he suddenly threw aside the cinnabar pen in his hand, turned his head and instructed Fuxi: "Send someone to summon the right prime minister, the six Shangshu, the third prince, the fourth prince and the fifth prince to the imperial study, I want to see them." ”

"Yes, the minion will go."

Fuxi bowed down and took the order to retreat.

Fuxi did things quickly, but in just an hour, Lu Yanming, the criminal department, the official department, the Ministry of Industry, the household department, the military department and other five scholars, as well as the three princes were already standing in the imperial study, in front of Emperor Yan.

Lifting his eyelids, Emperor Yan glanced at them very indifferently, and asked in a deep voice, "Do you know what I have summoned you to come to?" ”

Hearing this, everyone stood still and did not speak.

There was a touch of coldness in the corners of Emperor Yan's eyes, his gaze swept over them one by one, and finally raised his hand and pointed at Lu Yanming: "Lu Aiqing, you come." ”

Although his tone was flat, it always exuded infinite majesty, which made Lu Yanming feel uneasy, and he couldn't help but secretly look in the direction of Yan Wenyuan.

Yan Wenyuan glanced at him, there was a deep meaning in his eyes, and when Emperor Yan didn't pay attention, he quickly moved his lips and said a word quickly.

"Lee."

-- The implication is that it is for the sake of Li Zezhang's case.

After settling down, Lu Yanming took a step and said loudly: "The minister thinks that His Majesty is the former servant of the Ministry of Rites, and Li Zezhang's case is to convene the ministers. ”

"The minister also thought that His Majesty summoned the ministers and others for Li Zezhang's business." At this time, the secretary of the Criminal Department also came out and seconded Lu Yanming's words.

Immediately afterwards, several other ministers also echoed their words.

Emperor Yan's face was majestic, he looked condescendingly at the few ministers who were bowing down, but after a while, he moved his gaze to the three princes on the side, and he said indifferently: "Do you think that I should let one of you preside over this case?" ”

Biting his lip and remembering his mother's words, Yan Wenzhi took a step forward and volunteered: "Erchen please preside over this case." ”

"I don't think it's appropriate."

Before Emperor Yan could speak, Shen Nong, the secretary of the ministry, went out to stop him first, he had always been straightforward, and at this time he said directly: "Li Zezhang is the biological father of Concubine Liang and the grandfather of the five princes, and the five princes should avoid suspicion." ”

"Shen Nong, are you accusing this prince of being unfair and ignoring Dayan's discipline and law?!" Yan Wenzhi clenched his fists, looked at Shen Nong gloomily, and asked in a cold voice.

"Wechen didn't mean that." Shen Nong lowered his eyebrows and looked respectful to him.

"You-"

Yan Wenzhi wanted to speak again, but when he saw Jiang Xi, the secretary of the Criminal Department, his face calm, he shook his head slightly, so although his heart was full of anger, he still endured it.

If you can't bear it, you will make a big plan, he understands this truth.

Emperor Yan was sitting on the royal chair, his eyes swept over Yan Wenzhi indifferently, and he couldn't hide his disappointment in his heart, he looked at Yan Wenyuan on the side again, paused for a moment, and said lightly: "Wenyuan, you come to recommend someone." ”

Standing out of the queue, Yan Wenyuan thought for a while, and said loudly: "Erchen thinks that the second emperor brother is the most suitable to handle this case-"
