Lu Xuan was surprised, Li Ce had never served in the Criminal Department in his previous life, how could he see him here now?

Thinking like this, Lu Xuan unconsciously looked at the person in front of him for a while.

Until Li Ce spoke to the little official beside him: "What's the matter?" ”

Only then did the little official hurriedly speak and remind Lu Xuan: "Lu Jieling's envoy, this is Lord Lang Li, a member of the household department, and Lu Jieling's envoy still doesn't salute quickly?" ”

Outsider, household? This is even more puzzling, Lu Xuan has also served in the household department for a period of time before, how come he has never seen such a foreigner?

After being stunned for a while, Lu Xuan realized that this was not the time to think about this, and if he continued to be entangled like this, he was afraid that he would find something strange for the other party.

Lu Xuan leaned down at this time: "It turned out to be Lord Wailang, a member of the household department, and Lu Xuan, the new envoy of the Ministry of Punishment and Punishment, has seen my lord." ”

"Lu Xuan?" As soon as Li Ce heard this name, he instantly lifted his spirits.

Lu Xuan was taken aback: Does he recognize me? Or does he already know my woman's identity?

The more Lu Xuan thought about it, the more frightened he felt, until he saw Li Ce smile slightly and shook his head: "I don't know him, but I just admire the name for a long time." ”

Long-awaited daimyo? Where does Lu Xuan have a big name, saying this, most of them must have heard of her gossip with Gu Huanli.

Speaking of which, this is the first time Lu Xuan is so glad that people know about the rumors between her and Gu Huanli.

Lu Xuan finally breathed a sigh of relief and was about to say goodbye, but was asked by Li Ce: "Then does the Lu Jieling envoy recognize this official?" ”

Recognize it, naturally recognize it, let alone wearing this human-like dog-like skin, even if he turns into ashes, Lu Xuan will definitely not forget him.

But if you can't bear it, you will make a big plan, and Lu Xuan also understands that acting impulsively at this time is definitely not a good strategy.

Lu Xuan pretended to be stupid and shook his head: "Your Excellency is busy with official business, how can your lower officials be lucky enough to know your lord." ”

If it weren't for the last resort, Lu Xuan wouldn't have said it to this scumbag, and he would have made himself sick to his stomach and wanted to vomit.

Li Ce was satisfied with what he heard, and then nodded: "Since this is the case, this official will not hinder Lu Jie's order, and this official also has official duties, so don't let it go." ”

Finally able to send this plague god away, Lu Xuan hurriedly leaned over: "Xiaguan sends off the lord." ”

After speaking, seeing Li Ce leaving, Lu Xuan calmed down and turned around and walked into the main hall of the Criminal Department.

I thought that I would meet Lang Zhong and the like from the Criminal Department, but I didn't think that I would meet Lang Li Ce, a member of the Household Department, first, but the second one to see was Gu Huanli?

When she entered the door and saw Gu Huanli sitting upright in the hall, Lu Xuan was still stunned for a while, until she heard the little guy who led the way lean over and say, "I have seen His Royal Highness the Fierce King", and she came back to her senses.

"I've seen Your Highness." Lu Xuan leaned over, Gu Huanli immediately waved his hand to signal the little servant to go out, and then looked at her again: "What, are you dissatisfied with the position of the envoy of the Criminal Department?" ”

Lu Xuan was taken aback when she heard this, and was surprised that Gu Huanli could suddenly ask her such a rebellious question, all the orders were arranged by Emperor Liang Qin, how could she dare to be dissatisfied?

Lu Xuan shook his head: "Back to Your Highness, I feel honored that the lower official has been promoted to the envoy of the Criminal Department." ”

"Then why did it take so long to come over?" Gu Huanli continued to ask, he had calculated the time when Lu Xuan went out clearly, and he should never have made him wait so long.

Only then did Lu Xuan understand why Gu Huanli asked such a strange question, it turned out that he had delayed the hour.

"Back to His Highness, the lower official met an old man by chance at the door, so he delayed some time, and I hope His Highness will forgive me." Lu Xuan explained.

Met an old man at the entrance of the penal department? Gu Huanli was full of suspicions——

Lu Xuan has been under Gu Huanli's nose since he entered the Guangyuan Academy exam, and the Criminal Department is all his subordinates, if Lu Xuan has an old person in the Criminal Department, how can he not know?

It's just that before Gu Huanli had time to ask, Lu Xuan asked him first: "Does Your Highness know that there is a foreigner surnamed Li in the household department?" ”

Gu Huanli shook his head: "The affairs of the household department are in charge of Shangshu, and this king has not intervened, why, Lu Jieling is so concerned, but what is so special about this outsider?" ”

Lu Xuan hurriedly shook his head: "No, the lower official just asked casually." ”

Speaking of this, Lu Xuan couldn't help but be shocked in his heart, for fear that Gu Huanli would ask again.

After all, I'm afraid no one will believe the words of the past life and this life, if Gu Huanli really asked, she would never be able to explain that Li Ce was her enemy in the previous life.

But Lu Xuan's expression had already betrayed her, Gu Huanli had gone through so much with her all the way, when she was really lying, he only needed to look at it clearly.

"By the way, why is Your Highness here, today I am the new Criminal Department, shouldn't I go to meet a few adults first?" Lu Xuan deliberately diverted the topic.

Gu Huanli replied according to her words: "The secretary of the Criminal Department has been assisting in the affairs of the military department recently, and the rest of them are also on official business, and it happened that the king was free, so he came over to do it for him." ”

By coincidence? Lu Xuan really didn't know whether he should be happy or sad at this time.

She took office as a new official, but no one from the Criminal Department answered, so as not to appear too contemptuous, but from another angle, there is a dignified murderous king's agent, and how many people can't ask for a blessing?

Thinking about it this way, Lu Xuan could only look down on this matter, and then greeted Gu Huanli according to the etiquette system-

"Lu Xuan, the envoy of the Ministry of Punishment and Punishment, see His Royal Highness the Fierce King." Lu Xuan's demeanor was standardized, and he showed a rarely seen seriousness and restraint in front of Gu Huanli.

Gu Huanli didn't have time to react, he was still a little uncomfortable for a while, and he was stunned for a moment and hurriedly asked Lu Xuan to get up.

"That's it, leave your style to your colleagues in the Criminal Department, there are still important matters in this palace, so I won't delay here." Gu Huanli said as he got up and was about to leave.

Lu Xuan couldn't help but be stunned: "But Your Highness, what should I do?" ”

At present, several chiefs are not in the house, and Lu Xuan's new official can't even recognize the road of the Criminal Department when he takes office, so Gu Huanli actually left her alone? Is this a test of her self-reliance as soon as she comes in?

Lu Xuan was surprised, only to see a small official outside the door walk in, it was the one who had just handled the entry roster for her.

"The subordinates see the envoy of Lu Jie, and the subordinate Ding Ze, on the order of His Royal Highness the Fierce King, came to help Lord Lu familiarize himself with the various places in the Criminal Department." The little official said, it seems that Gu Huanli still has a bit of conscience.

Only then did Lu Xuan follow Ding Ze to walk around the Criminal Department, while listening to him introduce the etiquette system of the Criminal Department.

On the other side, Gu Huanli hurried back to the palace, but not because of any official business, but because he remembered what Lu Xuan said.

Thinking of this, as soon as Gu Huanli entered the door, he summoned Lin Wei: "Check the origin of a foreigner surnamed Li in the household department for this king." ”

Lin Wei received the order and hurriedly went to investigate.

It took a while to reply: "Back to Your Highness, your subordinates have found out that Li Ce, a member of the household department, was personally recommended by His Royal Highness King Chang, and His Royal Highness took office shortly after he went to Jiangnan. ”

"King Chang?" Gu Huanli was surprised, the household department had always been ordered by him, how could it be the turn of King Chang to place people in it?

"What is this person's background?" Gu Huanli asked, wanting to find out who else was colluding with King Chang behind him.

But Lin Wei shook his head: "The strange thing is here, according to the investigation of his subordinates, this Li Yuan Wailang is not a famous family, and even his relatives can't be found, and the whole person is poor and white." ”

How could such a person with no long body and things win the love of King Chang so much that he was placed in the Ministry of Punishment by him? Gu Huanli became more and more difficult to figure out.

It seems that Li Ce's identity is more ordinary, and the more Chang Wang's arrangement has ulterior motives.

Gu Huanli was pondering, Lin Wei suddenly remembered something again, and hurriedly ordered: "By the way, Li Yuanwailang also went to the Criminal Department today, and according to the guards of the Criminal Department, I saw him talking very happily with Lord Lu. ”

Hearing this, Gu Huanli suddenly frowned: No wonder she mentioned the old man today and inquired about the household member Wailang, these two are really the same person.

Thinking of this, and recalling Lu Xuan's distracted appearance when he mentioned Li Ce, Gu Huanli couldn't help but be full of suspicions, if she was really just an old person, why did she need to be so panicked?

Unless there's something hidden in it.

Thinking about it this way, Gu Huanli wanted to investigate it himself.

"Continue to keep an eye on this person, and if there is anything abnormal, report back to this king in time." Gu Huanli gave an order to Lin Wei, and he brewed a good show for tomorrow.

But after today's incident, Gu Huanli is not the only one who is suspicious.

After returning from the Criminal Department, Li Ce would think of Lu Xuan's eyes looking at him from time to time, as if he was stunned, and as if he was deliberately reining in some kind of edge.

"Who the hell is she, and why is she looking at me like that?" Li Ce was talking to himself, and it was difficult to understand.

It wasn't until he remembered the rumors between Lu Xuan and Gu Huanli that he was shocked-

"Could it be that the fierce king has found out about my relationship with His Royal Highness King Chang?" Li Ce thought so, and actually regarded Lu Xuan as Gu Huanli's eyeliner, and immediately became defensive of her.

was thinking about finding out Lu Xuan's identity as soon as possible, but unexpectedly, someone came to the door by himself-

The next day, Gu Huanli went to the Criminal Department to find Lu Xuan on the grounds of official business.

"Follow this king to the household." Gu Huanli saw Lu Xuan early in the morning.

Lu Xuan was stunned for a moment: "Your Highness wants to go to the household department, what are you going to do with your subordinates?" ”

If it was said that he had been with the rumors before, he was fulfilling the responsibility of the deputy envoy of the palace, but now that Lu Xuan has become the envoy of the criminal department, he should abide by his duties and no longer need to pay attention to the internal affairs of the palace.

Lu Xuan privately thought so, but where would Gu Huanli share these truths with her?

I saw that he didn't say a word, grabbed Lu Xuan's arm and walked out, so scared that she only cared about breaking free for a while, and didn't have time to think about other things.

It wasn't until he walked outside the household that Lu Xuan remembered the existence of a certain old enemy here.

"Your Highness, the lower officials are all here with you, why don't you just wait for you outside the door, can you go in by yourself?" Lu Xuan asked tentatively.

Gu Huanli immediately flew towards her with an eye knife: "What do you think?" Lu Jieling's envoy also served in the household department, and it is rare to come back, how can there be a reason that he can't enter the door? ”

After that, no matter how Lu Xuan reacted, Gu Huanli had already dragged her in with her.
