From time to time, the carriage of the general's palace arrived at the edge of the imperial city, the mottled city wall just blocked the sunlight outside, leaving only a long oblique shadow behind him, the young man in the carriage stretched his waist lazily, wearing a black brocade robe, and the woman behind him sat there quietly, he did not rush to get off, but just lazily leaned on the carriage, through the open curtain, measured the height of the city wall with his sight. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Under the city wall, the small black door opened, and a person dressed as an attendant leaned out, and saw the young man in the carriage in a daze, with a smile on his face, trotting all the way over, still a few steps away, so he greeted with a smile, "When did Li Sanye come back?" Grandpa was still talking to you a few days ago, I didn't expect you to come back so soon?! ”

The young man retracted his gaze, looked at the young man opposite, and thought for a while, "You are the person next to Gonggong Fu, called Xiao Dongzi?" ”

"The third master has a good memory." Although the young man was white and beardless, he looked much younger, but in fact he was four or five years older than the young man.

"My father-in-law is polite, let's call me Li Huai." The young man said casually, the other party was stunned, although he was obviously older, but his identity and status were too different, if the other party was not deliberately humiliated, it was a sincere friendship, which was really unexpected for a powerless chamberlain in the palace.

"The third master laughed, Xiao Dongzi didn't dare." The surprise on the waiter's face flashed, and he was still humble, but in Li Huai's eyes, it meant something else.

"My father-in-law is too worried." Li Huai smiled faintly and got off the carriage, "Please lead the way." ”

The two of them entered the imperial city one after the other, and it was not the first time Li Huai came here, it was still that kind of cold and arrogant feeling, although in the eyes of the world, this is the pinnacle of wealth and power, but only when they entered this city, did they know the withering and dead air behind the glory.

The smile on the face of the old man in the room, for Li Huai, the coldness and ruthlessness in the past were all hidden behind the smile at the moment, "The third master can be regarded as coming, if you don't come again, I should let someone go to the general's mansion to invite." ”

Li Huai smiled, "Listen to what Mr. Fu means, it seems that someone has sued me in the past two days?" What did you hear there? Li Huai said and took out a few silver tickets from his sleeve and stuffed them into the other party's hands.

"The third master doesn't have to worry, they have no real evidence, how can the old man of the saint believe it, but how many years is the old man, it's not easy to say that he doesn't take it to heart at all, it's not, the fifth and sixth masters came over this morning, and they just left at noon." The other party said casually, but it was Li Huai who heard the approximation, it seems that the people who did it in the south should be the fifth and sixth people, and the nine people in the internal guard said that they were directly under the emperor, but how many years have passed, and the old man has also put his mind on cultivating immortals and refining pills, and the political affairs are wasted, and the minds of the nine people have long been different, but Li Huai has too little contact, and he really can't touch the context except for the ninth master, and the Yan family did not speak, but it was in his expectation.

Li Huai looked at the other party anxiously, "After all, my foundation is too shallow, and sometimes my subordinates don't know the severity, and this time the matter is too complicated, it seems that I have offended the two old men, and I hope that my father-in-law will help me more." ”

The old eunuch looked at the young man's face, nodded, and his tone became more and more gentle: "The third master is serious, I just said, those two have no real evidence, it's just speculation, and relax, when I see the emperor, look at my eyes, to tell the truth, you are now the cash cow of our inner library, and the emperor is still pointing at you, not to mention that the northwest is now also relying on your Li family, just relax......" Fu Lu comforted Li Huai while watching the change of the other party's expression, to this point, most of them are personal essence, He was extremely satisfied with Li Huai's humility and panic at the moment, and couldn't help but glance at Xiao Dongzi at the door, and the other party turned around and left, but in a moment, the news of Li Huai's face had already reached the ears of different people through different channels.

"He's coming?" In the pavilion of the imperial garden, the woman is pruning this flower branch, is it a pink moon tree, or did she specially bring it from Yecheng that day, it seems that she is not accustomed to water and soil, and it has not grown well, "Have you seen the face of your father?" ”

"It shouldn't be yet, the emperor hasn't left the customs yet, he said that he was waiting at the head of Fu." The maidservant whispered, since the Dan furnace re-alchemized, Yuan Hongji has often retreated, and it has become more and more frequent in the past month, and after the retreat, no one dares to disturb.

"Princess, do you want someone to pass on a message?" The maidservant asked in a low voice, and when she saw that the flower branches that the woman was still pruning, she didn't seem to hear it, but she knew that she was talking too much, so she hurriedly stepped aside.

Later, there was the news that Li Huai was reprimanded by the saint, the scolding was very loud, but there was no need to deliberately inquire, as for what was said, there was no news, there was no news inside and outside the study, there were people from Fulu, and the news did not come out, so it should be specially confessed by the emperor, or Fulu did it intentionally, although people outside had the heart to inquire, but they could not know for a while.

Night fell, Li Huai finally came out of the house, his face was still frightened, he knelt for more than two hours, his legs were numb, and when he came out, he came out with Xiao Dongzi's arm, and just outside the study, the fifth and sixth members of the internal guard were already waiting there.

The three of them didn't say anything when they met, Li Huai saluted the two of them, and the other party only acted like they hadn't seen each other, and staggered by, Li Huai smiled coldly, didn't pay attention to it, and slowly thought about walking outside the courtyard.

Out of the courtyard, that is, out of the imperial study, Li Huai moved a little, and he could be regarded as walking freely, "Okay, thank you, father-in-law." Xiao Dongzi also smiled when he saw this, "Since the third master can go, the mourning family will not send it, and if you keep walking along the road, you can go out." ”

"I'm tired." Li Huai said and stuffed a few silver tickets into his hand, the other party was also happy, and accepted them without excuses, Li Huai smiled, and walked out slowly. Seeing the other party drifting away, Xiao Dongzi turned around and returned to the imperial study, and saw Fu Lu waiting at the door.

Fu Lu looked at Xiao Dongzi and asked in a low voice, "Accepted?" ”

Xiao Dongzi also smiled embarrassedly, "Accept it, drag grandpa's blessing." ”

"It's useless to talk less, since you have received something, you can do it yourself in the future, whether it is a blessing or a curse, it depends on your life." Fu Lu closed his eyes as he spoke, and stood there as if he was asleep, but Xiao Dongzi beside him nodded, looking thoughtful, and the sound of the emperor's reprimand in the study was still much more amiable than just now.
