Chapter 194: Holy Calling
"Xianggong...", there was a knock on the door, and a familiar voice sounded at the door. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"Huh?" , Peng Yue was shocked, it is said that Yan Mengyun would not be so ignorant when she was discussing with others, and she came over and knocked on the door, could it be that she heard the conversation just now?
At this time, looking at Xu Jie's face, he was also full of embarrassment, I am afraid that he was afraid that the content of the conversation just now would be heard by Yan Mengyun, then it would not be good, how would he enter the gate of Peng's Mansion in the future? If Yan Mengyun told his father, it would be over, don't mess around in the court, just pack up the bed and go home... Thinking of this, a dense layer of fine sweat oozed from Xu Jie's back.
Peng Yue frowned slightly, calmed down his emotions, and said softly outside the door calmly, "What's wrong?" Mengyun, what's the matter? ā
"Xianggong, someone from the palace came just now, saying that the emperor wanted to summon you into the palace..."
"What? Oh oh...", Peng Yue hurriedly walked to the door and opened the door for Yan Mengyun, and at the same time put on a smiling face, "Why do you want to notify me in person?" ā
"When the prince is discussing in the study, he doesn't like to be disturbed, but the matter is urgent, and the concubine is afraid that others will come here, and you will be unhappy, so I have to come by myself..."
At this time, Xu Jie had already gotten up, walked to Peng Yue's side, and stood slightly back, with a look of ridicule on his face.
When Yan Mengyun saw it, he naturally smiled and bowed, "I've seen Lord Xu, I'm really sorry for disturbing the discussion..."
"Mrs. Peng is polite...", Xu Jie hurriedly helped him, "Actually, I didn't talk about anything serious, but we just talked casually." Haha..."
Yan Mengyun smiled and didn't say much. is still as gentle and lovely as usual, and there is nothing unusual at all.
"Did the people in the palace say something was wrong?"
"This... The concubine didn't ask much. I just heard that the matter was urgent, so I hurriedly ran over... Xianggong, you better hurry up, don't delay things..."
Peng Yue listened to Yan Mengyun's explanation, and then observed her expression, and knew that she really didn't hear the content of the conversation between herself and Xu Jie just now. Otherwise, with Yan Mengyun's level of lying, it would be strange that he could still do it without blushing and heartbeat so far.
"Hmm... I'll go over now...", Peng Yue said as he walked out the door. "By the way, Mengyun, you go and prepare some silver taels for me..."
"Oh... Okay...", Yan Mengyun didn't ask Peng Yue anything, and after Peng Yue's order, he saluted Xu Jiefu on the side, turned around and retired.
"Don't worry, Mengyun must have heard nothing just now...", Peng Yue smiled at Xu Jie. I'm going to the hall, and if you don't want to be seen by the people who come from the palace, then just go around the door..."
"Hmm... My lord go get busy first, I'll go...". Xu Jie and Peng Yue bowed to each other, and then they all left the study together.
"It seems that Lord Peng and his wife are very affectionate, shouldn't they come in the future?" Xu Jie looked back at Peng Yue's departing back and muttered in his heart.
"Father-in-law Li. Didn't the emperor really say why he summoned me? At this time, Peng Yue had already ridden in the carriage with the attendants who came to deliver the decree. Let's go to the palace together.
This waiter, who is not too old, sat in Peng Yue's luxurious carriage, and he was really uncomfortable for a while, and even his movements seemed a little restrained.
Of course, just now Peng Yue has been "close to this waiter for a long time", and the waiter is also soft on others, it is inconvenient to say that there are many people, but at this time there are only two people, so it is not good for him to hide it anymore.
"Lord Peng, when the emperor called our family to deliver the decree, he didn't tell him what was going on, he just asked our family to bring you into the palace...", the chamberlain put his hands on his knees, and said with a somewhat embarrassed face, "But since the adults asked, our family will naturally tell you everything they know, but it's just to make a reference for the adults, but don't..."
"I naturally know this...", Peng Yue smiled and put his hand to the side, "The reason why I asked my father-in-law in advance was just to make a draft, so as not to answer well in the future, which angered the emperor, and the emperor was unhappy, so we all had to be uncomfortable, right?" As for the rest, I naturally won't say much, and besides, the emperor won't ask me other questions, Gonggong Li, are you right? ā
This chamberlain was called "father-in-law" by Peng Yue, and he was so uncomfortable, in fact, according to his own rank, he was not worthy of the title of "father-in-law". But Peng Yue didn't care, and he was happy to push the boat, especially a high-ranking official like Peng Yue, who was so polite to himself, but it was not something that a small servant like himself could often meet, so the gratitude and joy in his heart was naturally quite hot, and he knew that he was not like a person living in the palace...
"Since Master Peng said this, if our family dodges words again, then they don't know how to lift...", the waiter bowed, thinking that Peng Yue had hinted just now that he wouldn't leak his mouth, and he had nothing to worry about, and besides, he also took other people's money, didn't he?
"Actually, the emperor summoned the lord, most likely because there was chaos in the northwest again...", the chamberlain lowered his head and whispered, "The border emergency report submitted this morning, no matter how specific the matter, our family really doesn't know..."
As soon as Peng Yue heard what this chamberlain said, he had a plan in his heart, he knew that this chamberlain did not deliberately hide it from himself, and with his status in the palace, it would be good to be able to tell himself this bit of news. In fact, Peng Yue's guess is the same, he feels that in the recent period, Zhu Houxi is so eager to summon himself into the palace, except for the war in the northwest, it is estimated that there is nothing.
"Master Peng, in addition to summoning you over, the emperor also passed on Yan Ge Lao, Zhang Ge Lao and others, I guess they should be almost there...", this chamberlain saw Peng Yue's suspicious expression, and hurriedly added two sentences, "Other than these, our family really doesn't know anything..."
"Oh... Naturally, I believe in my father-in-law, and I would like to thank you again for informing me..."
"Oh, Lord Peng is polite...", after the waiter finished speaking, he saw that Peng Yue was already pondering there, so he also closed his mouth in amusement and stopped talking.
"That's right... Gonggong Li, didn't Lord Zhai Pengzhai be summoned by the emperor? ā
"Lord Zhai... Oh...", the waiter's eyes lit up, as if he remembered something, "Lord Zhai was sent to Jizhou by the emperor a few days ago, and now he is not in the capital... What a coincidence, that holy decree is also passed down from our family..."
"Oh... That's it...", Peng Yue frowned: If Zhai Peng had been sent out a long time ago, it means that this battle should not have happened in the last two days. Zhu Houxi was really calm, he didn't even say a word, it is estimated that he didn't take this seriously, thinking that sending Zhai Peng over would be easy to solve, right?
Forehead... That's not right, since Zhai Peng went in person, and he couldn't solve it in the end, what's the use of going over by himself? Could it be that Zhu Houxi was unwilling to pay for the war, so he let him think of a way to empty the gloves and white wolf? Oh my God, spare me... (To be continued.) )
