Chapter 82: The Library Catches Fire
Chen Pingwu was not a little surprised when he saw Wang Changgeng coming towards him.
With an indifferent expression, he bowed slightly to King Pingyi and replied politely.
"My nephew meets the King of Pingyi."
Wang Changgeng laughed, and after a few words of greeting, he raised his hand and pulled Chen Pingwu to sit in the banquet.
Yang Guang stood behind Chen Pingwu with a sword in his cold eyes and without squinting.
Wang Changgeng glanced at Yang Guang, naturally guessed his identity, and greeted him very politely.
"This must be Yang Guang, you are also Brother Si Nian's righteous son, you don't have to be formal, let's sit together."
Chen Pingwu also nodded slightly at Yang Guang when he heard this, signaling that he could take a seat.
It's just that Yang Guang didn't move at all, and replied coldly.
"The prince ordered his subordinates to be responsible for the safety of the prince, and he must not relax for a moment."
When Wang Changgeng heard this, he looked stunned, he didn't expect Yang Guang to be so faceless, and a gloom flashed in his eyes at the moment.
Then he laughed and praised Yang Guang to many officials.
"Okay, well, King Changwu's subordinates are really strict with themselves, and they are really a model for me to educate my subordinates in the future."
Everyone laughed and agreed.
Chen Pingwu's expression was still calm and calm about this scene, and he raised his wine glass and said to Wang Changgeng.
"My father has always had a bad temper, Brother Yang has his father's order, he doesn't dare to disobey, the king of Pingyi forgives, and this cup of nephew apologizes on his behalf."
After speaking, Chen Pingwu drank it all.
It was even more admired by everyone.
In the middle of the banquet, Wang Changgeng's face was full of wine, as if he was drunk, he took Chen Pingwu's hand, and asked with hazy eyes.
"This king heard that the virtuous nephew has never been married, and now he has someone he likes?"
When Chen Pingwu heard Wang Changgeng's words, his originally calm mood jumped suddenly, and he couldn't help but think of Feng Yewu, who had just collided with him, and a slight smile hung on the corner of his mouth.
Wang Changgeng saw that Chen Pingwu did not answer, frowned slightly, and asked.
"Virtuous nephew? Virtuous nephew? ”
Chen Pingwu hurriedly came back to his senses, gathered his thoughts and replied indifferently.
"Born in a royal family, marriage is not something you can decide."
When Wang Changgeng heard this, he was overjoyed, and immediately picked up a glass of wine and said affectionately to Chen Pingwu.
"Among the many princes of the feudal kings, this king has always been the most optimistic about the virtuous nephew, and now the younger daughter is also of marriage age, so it is better to ......"
Wang Changgeng's words are obviously obvious.
Chen Pingwu didn't want this Wang Changgeng to bring up this matter so casually, and he was a little unhappy in his heart, and now his heart was full of Feng Yewu's figure, and he couldn't agree.
However, due to the situation, it will be inconvenient for him to act in Beijing in the future.
After a turn of thought, Chen Pingwu smiled slightly and said perfunctorily to Wang Changgeng.
"Marriage is a major event, the parents order the matchmaker, the nephew does not dare to make his own decisions, and he has to ask his father for this matter."
When Wang Changgeng saw Chen Pingwu's appearance, he thought that he agreed in his heart, so he greeted him even more happily, and a group of people raised their glasses together.
Then, Chen Pingwu, who was smiling and silent, patted his chest and said.
"Rest assured, after tonight, this king will write overnight to discuss this matter with King Changwu, and in the future, you and I will be close to each other, hahahaha!"
The banquet dispersed, Chen Pingwu returned to the house, and the maid on the side served tea and sobered up.
Chen Pingwu rubbed his somewhat sleepy temples and sighed softly.
"In the future, I am afraid that it will be difficult to do this social thing, this time I have seen this Pingyi King, although I am a little lonely, but the connections are still good."
Yang Guang was still standing coldly on the side, but pointed out Chen Pingwu's mistake today.
"In the banquet, the prince was distracted, but because of the woman in front of the drunken fairy building?"
Chen Pingwu was stunned when he heard this, stopped the movements in his hand, looked up at Yang Guang and showed a wry smile.
"You really can see it clearly."
Although Yang Guang was Chen Pingwu's guard, he was only loyal to King Changwu, and when he heard Chen Pingwu admit it, his cold face frowned, and he opened his mouth to remind.
"The prince should give an account to the prince, and don't be distracted."
Chen Pingwu sighed helplessly, obviously unwilling to listen to Yang Guangduo anymore, waved his hand and became sleepy, turned around and went to bed.
Lying flat on the bed, Chen Pingwu's thoughts were tossing and turning, his mind was full of lingering Feng Yewu, and he couldn't sleep for a long time.
... ...
In the palace, Feng Yewu had just fallen asleep, and suddenly there were many noisy sounds.
Hanyue hurriedly broke into the dormitory.
Feng Yewu put on his coat and asked coldly.
"What's so alarming?"
Before Han Yue could speak, Lu Jue also rushed over and explained.
"Your Majesty, there is a fire in the library in the palace, and there is also an abnormality in Dali Temple."
When Feng Yewu heard this, her eyes jumped, and she immediately beckoned Han Yue to serve and change her clothes, and asked Lu Jue to find Wei Nanqi and others to come.
Moments later, the fire was extinguished.
In the imperial study, Wei Nanqi and Sun Changxi knelt aside.
Wei Nanqi looked embarrassed, and said to Feng Yewu who was standing in front of him.
"Your Majesty, the library in the palace and the dossier room of Dali Temple were deliberately burned, but fortunately they were found in time and suffered little damage."
After Feng Yewu heard this, his cold face eased slightly.
"Can you find out the loss file?"
Wei Nanqi and Sun Changxi looked at each other with uneasy expressions.
"Huh?"
Seeing that the two of them were so hesitant, Feng Yewu couldn't help but snort coldly.
Wei Nanqi hurriedly replied.
"Your Majesty, the minister checked the two damages, both of which are the remnants of the Zhenbei General's Mansion."
Feng Yewu was immediately furious after hearing this, and questioned the case.
"What? Only the files of the Zhenbei General's Mansion were destroyed? ”
Lu Jue frowned even more on the side.
Sun Changxi kowtowed and replied.
"Your Majesty, this arson is obviously deliberately done by someone, and the minister is willing to admit the guilt, but he just hopes to catch the real culprit first."
Feng Yewu and Lu Jue glanced at each other, and they already had suspicions in their hearts.
Feng Yewu frowned and looked at the two kneeling on the ground, knowing that the two were just careless, but now that the clues of the Zhenbei General's Mansion were all broken, he was still a little angry.
Wei Nanqi looked up at Feng Yewu and said what he thought.
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this fire is not necessarily a bad thing."
Feng Yewu was silent and motioned for Wei Nanqi to continue.
"Since His Majesty ordered the two of us to investigate the case of the Zhenbei General's Mansion, the clues of those remnant files have long been familiar to the chest, and the progress is slow, today's fire is undoubtedly the work of a ghost in his heart, which just helps us to provide a new direction, as long as the arsonist is caught, the case of the Zhenbei General's Mansion will have new clues."
When Feng Yewu and Lu Jue heard Wei Nanqi's words, they also felt that there was some truth.
Feng Yewu restrained his anger and said to Wei Nanqi and the others with an indifferent expression.
"That lonely first will not condemn the two of you, if you can't catch the person who set the fire, you will be punished together."
Wei Nanqi and Sun Changxi kowtowed and thanked each other and retreated together.
leveled the palace, full of alcohol, drunk Wang Changgeng was carried into the bedroom by his subordinates, and the princess was very tired of complaining and then turned around and left to fetch water.
For a while, in the entire bedroom, only Wang Changgeng, who seemed to be drunk and unconscious, was left.
An eerie smile rose from the corner of his mouth.
