At night, there was no need for Lu Cheng to be on duty in the Heart Cultivation Palace, so he still went to Dongchang by himself.

He is the eldest companion, the most favored person around the emperor, and the people around him who want to recognize him as a godfather look at a basket.

Everyone tried their best to please him, and now even if it is night, ask someone to light the lamp for him and go to the East Factory, and the person who is called has no complaints.

It even seems to be very willing.

However, if you think about it, you can be called up by Lu Cheng at this time to accompany you all the way, and even go to the East Factory, which is designated to be kept secret from everyone, it must be someone that Lu Cheng trusts and has ideas to promote.

This kind of thing can be called a good thing.

"This night, do you want to go to the East Factory? But isn't the governor of Ji Dudu? ”

Ji Jia is not here, this is not a secret, everyone knows it, the emperor did not leave immediately, I am afraid that he also had the intention of waiting for Ji Jia to come back, but I don't know if Ji Jia can catch up and come back at this juncture.

Lu Cheng snorted, "Who told you that our family went to Dongchang to find Ji Jia?" ”

This-Lu Cheng's identity, who else can he find if he doesn't look for Ji Jia?

Both of them are first-class and favored eunuchs in front of the emperor, and even if they have a little friendship on weekdays, it is still inconvenient to let the emperor know, after all, if the emperor knows, he may not suspect that the two are colluding to deceive him.

"The minion is talking nonsense."

Lu Cheng naturally didn't go to Ji Jia, he went straight to Cao Tingyu's courtyard.

At this time, the night had gradually deepened, and Cao Tingyu's courtyard had already turned off the lights, but tonight it was Ji Lin on the front page, and as soon as he saw Lu Cheng, he saluted and went in to reply.

Soon the lights inside came on, and Cao Tingyue came out to pick it up in person.

"If you have any problems, just tell the slave to go, why bother to come in person in the middle of the night." Cao Tingyue helped Lu Cheng to sit down, and there were only the two of them left in the room, and they drove everyone else out, so that the two of them could talk conveniently.

Lu Cheng shook his head, "I have nothing to do at night, this matter, I think I still have to come and run in person." ”

He took a sip of tea, and there was obvious temptation in his eyes, "Let's talk about it, just when you and our family raised this opinion, I had already heard some rumors among the people, all of which said that it was a disaster from heaven, or maybe it was the will of God." Such words may not reach His Majesty's ears, but it is not so easy to hide from me. ”

Cao Tingyue said, "This is nature. ”

He never thought of hiding it from Lu Cheng or anything, he had been immersed in the harem for many years, and he was scheming more than anyone else, hiding it from him? That's almost impossible.

"This is also something you prepared in advance?"

So the more Cao Ting chooses, at least tell half the truth, "It's not that you should prepare in advance." He smiled, "In fact, this flood did come vigorously, and it is normal for the people to have some discussions, but at the beginning, there were not many remarks in this regard, just appropriate guidance, I didn't expect the result to be so good." ”

Lu Cheng patted the table lightly, "You are so bold." ”

His tone was cold, "You know, if such a thing reaches His Majesty's ears, even if you have a hundred heads, it will not be enough to cut off." ”

Cao Ting bowed more and more, "So I have to ask my companion to raise your noble hand." ”

Lu Cheng frowned, "What are you doing this for?" Ji Jia knows? ”

"The stepfather doesn't know." Cao Ting frowned, "Daban knows, now that the power of Dongchang is getting bigger and bigger day by day, don't everyone say that now is the time for the governor to cover the sky with one hand?" ”

Lu Cheng sneered, "What, are you going to show off in front of me, an old man?" ”

Cao Tingyue shook his head, "The companion laughed, where would the slave dare." It's just that in this East Factory, there are some things that others don't know, and it's not worth mentioning. But just before, the slave got a rumor that it was Jinyiwei's person, but he had been in the East Factory for too long, and he finally couldn't bear it. ”

Lu Cheng frowned, a little unintelligible, "What do you mean by this?" ”

"Otomo knows that Dongchang and Jinyiwei have always been in conflict. But after ascending the throne today, he reuses his father-in-law and values Dongchang, which naturally has to eat more than Jinyiwei. ”

Lu Cheng nodded, this is true, His Majesty does value Dongchang more than Jinyiwei, so over the years, Jinyiwei has been squeezed more and more without a seat.

Including the previous 1,000 households and 1,000 households, they were originally supposed to be managed by Jinyi Wei, but now they are all from Dongchang.

It can be seen that Jinyiwei has become more and more out of living space, and it may not be impossible to complain about the East Factory.

"You mean, you found out that Jinyiwei is about to make a move on Dongchang?"

The previous dynasty was not without such a thing, the two forces could not be balanced, and there was always one side who felt that what he had not obtained was enough, and even wanted the other side to be completely destroyed.

"It's in Qiuwei."

Lu Cheng held the tea bowl in his hand, as if he was thinking.

For him, whether it is Dongchang or Jinyiwei, he must be respectful, no matter who is powerful, he will not dare to do anything to him.

But if you really want to compare, there will still be a bit of strange pity and pity between the eunuchs.

Now in his eyes, Cao Tingyue is so direct and honest.

Lu Cheng groaned, "What do they want to do?" ”

"In the name of an assassin, in fact—on the side of the Qing Jun."

Lu Cheng gasped, "Are they crazy?" Do you know how high the risk is to commit an assassination? ”

Cao Tingyue said, "Although the risk is high, but the return is large, once it is done, I am afraid that my Dongchang Jingwei will lose most of it, and it is still difficult to say whether it can be reused by His Majesty in the future." ”

That's right.

Lu Cheng fell into deep thought, this reason was too much to convince him.

Because although everyone is said to be the emperor's minions, they must be the kind that will put themselves first, and everyone will think about their own interests first, and then think about their masters.

"That's why you came up with this method and directly ruined the autumn hunt?"

Cao Tingyue nodded, "In this way, they won't have much time to re-plan." ”

Also, now His Majesty has handed over all the matters to the East Factory to go to Huguo Temple, and this Jinyi Wei is afraid that he will not know until that day which way he is going to go, and it is too late to prepare.

Lu Cheng seemed to be completely convinced, and he nodded, "If your stepfather knows, he can only praise you." ”

Cao Tingyue said, "My father-in-law is busy with affairs, so I don't dare to alarm him anymore for such a trivial matter." ”

Lu Cheng stood up, and then walked out, "Our family knows, today's trip, let's treat it as if our family hasn't come." ”

"Congratulations to my companion."

The more Cao Ting knows, the more you want a person to believe your lies, it often takes some words. That is, at least you can't tell a complete lie, you have to be half true and half miserable.

In this way, when he thinks that what you said is not quite right, when he hears the truth in the next second, he feels that it makes extra sense and believes it again.

And Jinyiwei's desire to destroy the East Factory is false, and the fake intention to assassinate is true.

In order to show his face in front of the emperor, so that the brocade guard can be valued again.

Cao Tingyue smiled, turned off the lights, and went to sleep again.

And Lu Cheng's way back seemed to be a little slower, and the little eunuch who was serving him saw his solemn expression, so he couldn't help but ask, "Big companion, is something happening to Dongchang?" ”

He shook his head, and Lu Cheng just sighed, "Our family is just thinking, maybe we can witness something." ”

The little eunuch didn't understand, and when he asked again, Lu Cheng refused to say more, just shook his head.

I just thought in my heart that the governor of Dongchang is more powerful than the other, maybe when he can still open his eyes, he will really see Jinyiwei destroyed, and there will only be one Dongchang left around the emperor.

But is that good or bad.

Lu Cheng was drumming in his heart, but he didn't have a clear answer.

-

Kawa was invited in, and as soon as she entered, she saw Chi Chi sitting on the throne, and now he had just stood up, and the prince was the first to sit on her left, and now he was also standing.

Chi Chi gave Jiahe a salute, and then asked Jiahe to sit down.

She glanced at the prince embarrassedly, "I originally invited the imperial sister to come to tea today, but I didn't expect the prince to come, and the effort to talk to the prince turned out to be forgetting that the imperial sister was coming, please don't blame." ”

Don't blame her for this, she said it to the prince, and she also said it to Jiahe.

But Jiahe knew that this was just her excuse, so naturally she wouldn't make it too difficult, she just said, "What's this, it's just that this palace is angry every day." ”

Liu Chuchen also said, "Originally, it was Xiao Wang who bothered, so don't blame the two highnesses." ”

Chi Chi said, "Awe, go and get the tea I got two days ago." ”

She smiled, "This is a little tea given to me by the abbot, I smell a strange bitterness, I think it is a good tea on the mountain, so I want to taste it with the imperial sister." ”

Jiahe was impatient to deal with it slowly, but now that Liu Chuchen was in front of her, she had to fight with the spirit of twelve points, and she had to force herself to be a little kinder, and the province made him feel that she had no reason to come today, "Is it?" Then the main palace will come and taste it. It's hard to say anything is good. ”

Ah Wei brought tea up, served tea to the three of them, and looked at the prince for a long time, "The prince also tastes it, but this is Chen Guo's tea, maybe it is not to the prince's taste." ”

Liu Chuchen said, "Where does Your Highness speak." ”

Chi Chi smiled, looking at the two people sitting, she suddenly felt that her bad taste was really a bit funny.

Calling Jiahe over, not only because he took the initiative to seek peace, but also because no one knows.

Chi Chi just wanted to see Jiahe's kind of deflated appearance who didn't like her but had to be kind to her.

It's really—it's so painful.
