After the Zhao Yuanzuo brothers left, Zhao Guangyi asked the other concubines to go out with them, leaving only the queen alone to accompany him.

Empress Li looked at Zhao Guangyi and said, "Your Majesty, do you have something to say to me?" ”

Zhao Guangyi's body was fine, hesitated for a while, and asked, "Does the queen think that someone deliberately poisoned me this time?" ”

When Empress Li heard this, the emperor only called himself me when he was chatting in the inner palace, obviously he wanted to make the atmosphere not so serious, but Empress Li didn't dare to make a mistake, just said: "Your Majesty, didn't you send an envoy from the imperial city to investigate!" ”

Zhao Guangyi seemed a little embarrassed, and said, "You also heard what Yuan Kan said just now. Counting on this cousin, it's really hopeless! I want Feng Manlou to investigate this case, but I'm worried that the palace secrets will leak out! ”

Empress Li smiled: "I see! The concubine guessed like this, but the emperor didn't expect that Feng Manlou already knew about the emperor's poisoning, and also guessed that someone deliberately harmed the emperor. What else is the emperor worried about? ”

Zhao Guangyi thought for a while and said: "I want Yuan Kan to investigate this case, first, he is also a prince, and it is easier to walk in the palace." But I'm worried that he is not capable enough, so I want Feng Manlou to be a helper, what do you think, queen? ”

Empress Li said: "Since the emperor has made a decision, how can the concubines object, this idea is indeed feasible!" ”

Zhao Guangyi saw that Queen Li nodded, and she also agreed with her own idea, thinking about it, this method was still practical, so he said: "Then let Wang Jien go and pass on the holy decree!" ”

said that Queen Li was actually very dissatisfied with Wang Jien. The reason is that the eunuch who served beside Queen Li, named Guo An, found that Wang Jien was always targeting himself and wanted to get rid of himself, so he had a bad relationship with Wang Jien.

This Guo An is not a fuel-efficient lamp, when the queen was present, she deliberately teased Wang Jien, but after all, Wang Jien is also the habit of commanding for many years, and sometimes it is unintentionally revealed.

This made Queen Li very dissatisfied, thinking that Wang Jien was arrogant, and Guo An was speaking ill of him, so she had a deep prejudice against Wang Jien.

At this critical moment, Queen Li said: "Your Majesty, the concubines think that this Wang Jien has a lot to do with the foreign ministers, and this incident may have something to do with him, and the concubines think that it is better to send Guo An in the palace of the concubines!" ”

Zhao Guangyi thought for a while and said, "It's too!" Then I'll send Guo An out! ”

Feng Manlou was under the leadership of Zhao Yuankan's guards at the moment to see the house. This is a house near the Bianhe River. But there is also a distance. Feng Manlou took a closer look, but it was a very prosperous area.

This house is also magnificent, there are two entrances, first the front yard, through the corridor, after entering the backyard, there are six wing rooms in the front yard, do some guest rooms or the rooms of the next person, more than enough.

There are eight wings in the backyard, and the two largest rooms are very spacious. The master's living room alone is no less than a hundred square meters. If you calculate it carefully, this house will cost at least 200,000 yuan!

Feng Manlou said in surprise: "This house is so luxurious, compared to the county government in Yuhang, it's not far behind!" ”

The guard said, "Your Excellency, I don't know, this is an official of the Imperial Historical Tower, and when he left office, he was vacant. As soon as the prince heard that the adults were coming to the capital, he let people settle down. Adults are still satisfied! ”

Feng Manlou smiled: "Satisfied, really satisfied." ”

The guard smiled, "Your Excellency is really good-eyed. This house is known as a step-by-step ascension, which is really a rare good house! ”

Step by step? This was the first time I had heard that the house had been given this name, so I asked, "Where do you start with this?" ”

The guard said: "My lord, you look at the surrounding area, not far to the east, is the post station of the capital, all officials from other places into Beijing, will first be stationed in the post station, but the post station is compared to our house, the terrain is lower, but it is equivalent to the step of the body." This is the first step, promotion! ”

After speaking, he pointed to the north and said: "The north side is the aspect of the palace, which means that the golden luan-faced saint stands in the court at all times, and the official position does not fall." This promotion is a matter of time! ”

After speaking, he pointed to the south and said, "The south side is the Privy Council, and the opposite side of the Privy Council is not the political hall?" This is the area where the general will enter the phase, therefore, this area, the capital has a title, called step by step. Many Beijing officials want to buy a house here. ”

Feng Manlou said with a smile: "It turns out that there is such a rhetoric!" ”

But the guard continued: "My lord, look at this house again, how did you feel after entering? ”

Feng Manlou thought about it, this question, but also remembered, the whole house is full of a strong cultural atmosphere, everywhere is decorated with pen and ink calligraphy and paintings, and even the backyard of those courtyards only see the door, are made of the situation of the landscape, the whole house is like a landscape painting, it is conceivable that the previous owner, must be a person with a high cultural accomplishment.

But I heard the guard say: "This house has a name, called Scholarly Mendi!" ”

Feng Manlou smiled: "Don't say it, it's really like!" ”

After looking at the house, Feng Manlou went directly back to the post station, called Xiaoyun and the five of them, and prepared to move. When Xiao Yun heard this, he immediately cheered and said, "It seems that the young master has been promoted, and he already has a mansion!" ”

Dong Chao and Xue Ba couldn't help but be happy, and they were busy packing their luggage. When he was about to finish cleaning up, he saw three people in brocade clothes walking in, led by a eunuch, just entered the inn, and the guards who opened the road in front of him shouted loudly: "The palace is in the palace, Tianzhang Pavilion is to be systematized, the right to know that Yuhang County is full of buildings, and Lord Feng is there?" ”

Feng Manlou was in the room on the second floor, and when he heard it, he hurriedly came out to take a look, but it was a large group of people, who hurriedly came downstairs, saluted, and said: "Xia Guan is Feng Manlou!" ”

Seeing Feng Manlou coming out, the leader of a eunuch who looked like he was about forty years old, shouted in a sharp voice: "Feng Manlou takes the order!" ”

Feng Manlou thought to himself, could it be that this question is right, and there will be news so soon? Compared with finding a job in the future, it is faster to wait for the notice after the interview.

But I heard the eunuch say: "By the emperor's command, Lord Xuanfeng enters the palace!" ”

Feng Manlou hurriedly saluted, but saw the eunuch turn around and said, "Lord Feng, come with us!" ”

Seeing that it was getting late, Feng Manlou was about to ask if he could go again tomorrow, but looking at the appearance of the eunuch, it seemed unlikely. Feng Manlou had no choice but to let Xiaoyun prepare the salute first, hand over the title deed to him, and let them move over first. This post station is really not used to living, and it doesn't feel like home.

At this time, with the eunuch Guo An leading the way, the people of the Imperial City Division did not have a strict investigation, so they let him in.
