Qi Wenfu raised his eyes to look at him: "Then the prince is waiting for me?" ”

King Rui turned around: "I just want to apologize to Lord Qi, and by the way, I also say thank you." ”

Qi Wenfu raised his eyebrows and didn't speak.

King Rui's body warmed up, so he put aside the charcoal stove, walked to the opposite side of Qi Wenfu, and said with a serious expression: "The matter between Liangchen and the second prince has nothing to do with Lord Qi, it was Liangchen's bastard boy who talked nonsense and was ignorant, so he pulled Lord Qi into this troubled water." ”

"That bastard boy has always been messing around, and he doesn't act in an orderly manner, so I'll make amends for him and Lord Qi."

Qi Wenfu tugged at the corners of his mouth: "The prince is serious, I can't afford it." ”

Obviously, he didn't say anything, but King Kerui clearly saw the mockery on his face.

Yuwen Liangchen is not sensible, doesn't King Rui understand?

His son is bent on asking someone to testify and doesn't know the depth, it is impossible for King Rui not to know, if he really feels guilty, he feels that he should not be dragged into this troubled water, when he was in the palace before, when the Empress Dowager Qian embarrassed him, how could he not open his mouth to relieve him?

Isn't it too late?

King Rui is a thick-skinned man, otherwise he would not be able to raise a son with the temperament of Yuwen Liangchen, he didn't seem to see Qi Wenfu's ridicule at all, but in front of him really forgave Yuwen Liangchen, he said with a smile:

"It's not heavy, it's not heavy, Lord Qi has a heart of hills and valleys, so naturally he won't be as knowledgeable as that bastard boy, and when he comes out of Dali Temple, I will definitely escort him to the door in person to apologize to Lord Qi."

"And when I was in the palace before, I also want to thank Lord Qi for speaking for Liangchen."

Qi Wenfu was amused by King Rui's shameless attitude, and said: "The prince is afraid that he has misunderstood, the emperor has a question, and I will answer, but I am just telling the truth, and I have not helped the little prince anything." ”

King Rui squinted at him for a moment, and when he saw that Qi Wenfu really didn't want to have a deep friendship with him, he said:

"Lord Qi said that if you don't help, you won't help, it's just that some things are going on, I just understand it myself, Lord Qi doesn't want to say it clearly, I can't pretend to be confused, I keep your favor in my heart, and there will always be a chance to return it in the future."

Qi Wenfu listened to King Rui speak like this, his expression was a little gentler, but he just smiled and didn't answer.

King Rui didn't force Qi Wenfu to be really, he was a prince, Qi Wenfu was just a courtier, there were some things he could say that Qi Wenfu couldn't say, and there were some things he could do Qi Wenfu couldn't do, if he didn't force Qi Wenfu to be the same as him, it was not a friendship, but a revenge.

What's more, he was waiting for Qi Wenfu in front of the palace gate, and he had other things to ask.

The people in the teahouse brought hot tea in, and after the people from King Rui's Mansion brought it in, they withdrew directly.

King Rui personally poured tea and sent it to Qi Wenfu, and after he sat down, he said: "Lord Qi, I am not a person who can beat around the bush, I stopped you in front of the palace gate today, in addition to apologizing and thanking you, there is another thing I want to ask you." ”

Qi Wenfu held the teacup and said, "Lord Wang, please speak." ”

King Rui said bluntly: "I know that after Chen Anning's death, Nan Yuanshan was imprisoned, and the emperor was asking you to investigate the corruption of the household department, and you can't say much about some things, so I just ask you, is the matter of the household department related to the second prince?" ”

Qi Wenfu took a sip of tea: "The prince shouldn't ask." ”

King Rui's expression sank: "I know that I asked this a bit out of bounds, and it also embarrassed you, but I also ask Lord Qi to forgive me a little." ”

"You also saw it today, the matter between Liangchen and the second prince has reached such a point, there is no possibility of reconciliation for a long time, the second prince, mother and son look like they want to put Liangchen to death, and they can't wait for his life."

"I only have such a son, rather than waiting for them to come and take my son's life, it is better to strike first than to sit back and wait for death."

Qi Wenfu didn't expect King Rui to tell him directly, raised his head and said, "The prince told me these words, aren't you afraid that I will tell the second prince?" ”

"You won't."

King Rui looked at him: "If you really look at them, when you are in the palace today, you will not seem to praise them, but in fact, you will tempt the emperor to suspect Yuwenyan with words." ”

"Two years ago, you investigated the affairs of Jingnan, and lost your official position for this, this time the emperor asked you to check the household department again, and turned out the old case of Jingnan."

"It is rumored everywhere in Beijing that the Jingnan Zhizhou who died at the beginning has an account book in his hand, which is related to the corruption case of the household department, and Xie Yuan is the only person who has been to Jingnan and has been with that Jingnan Zhizhou for a few days."

"You deliberately told the emperor that Yuwenyan never cares about idle things on weekdays, does not cause trouble, and does not collude with courtiers in a low-key manner, so that the emperor suspects that he went to Anyang Palace to deliberately befriend the Xie family, and wants to step on Liangchen to get close to the daughter of the Xie family, don't you just want to pull him towards the old Jingnan case and the corruption of the household department?"

King Rui's chubby face lost his old days, and he said seriously:

"If there is no clue, with Lord Qi's caution, he will not rashly implicate the second prince, and since you have already mentioned it in front of the emperor, the emperor has left you in the palace again, I am afraid that Lord Qi is ready to attack the second prince."

"Since we have the same goal, you want to find out about the corruption of the household department and the old case of Jingnan, and I want to keep my son, how can Lord Qi dislike one more person who will never betray, and even more than you want a helper who the second prince will never be able to turn over?"

King Rui didn't react when he saw Qi Wenfu after hearing this, but just looked at him with a faint expression.

He continued: "The Bo family and Concubine Yu are not easy to provoke, you want to overturn the case for Nan Yuanshan, and if you want to bring them to justice, you may not be able to do it on your own, and the emperor's thoughts are clear to you, if you can't hit it with one blow, I'm afraid he will regret it." ”

"At that time, the Bo family and the second prince will not die, and it will be you Qiwen Mansion who will die."

After King Rui finished speaking, he looked at Qi Wenfu closely.

When he hadn't seen Qi Wenfu before, he was sure.

They have the same goal, and they all have reasons why they must not stop, and Qi Wenfu will definitely not refuse him.

But when he really saw Qi Wenfu and talked to him, King Rui was a little uncertain in his heart.

The person in front of him was too difficult to figure out, and he didn't show the slightest thought when he spoke, so he said almost all the words he had reservations, and he also made his own calculations and situation clear.

His eyes were locked on Qi Wenfu, for fear that he would refuse.

After a while, when King Rui couldn't sit still, Qi Wenfu on the opposite side suddenly raised his teacup to him and said, "The prince is gracious, Qi naturally can't refuse, so, happy cooperation?" ”

Rui Wang's tense breath was instantly relieved, his chubby face was full of smiles, and he took the teacup and touched it lightly on his teacup, and after making a crisp sound, he said happily:

"It's a pleasure to work with."
