As soon as Feng Yan came back, he went to the palace to report to the emperor. *With* Dream *Small* Say .lā

Under the afterglow of the setting sun, the palace looks more and more splendid, isolating the hustle and bustle of the streets of the capital, quiet but a little lonely and cold......

Feng Yan came to the outside of the imperial study, and after a small chamberlain went to Tongyu, he welcomed him in.

In the imperial study, there was silence, the air was heavy, and the emperor sat behind the huge imperial case, his face sinking like water. Cen Yin stood aside, and there was no joy or anger in his expression.

This solemn atmosphere made the little chamberlain who led the way subconsciously relax his steps and hardly dared to breathe.

"I've seen the emperor's uncle." Feng Yan saluted the emperor with his fists as usual.

However, this time, the emperor's eyes when he looked at him no longer had the kindness of the past, only the surging anger.

The emperor directly threw the fold in his hand and threw it at Feng Yan's feet with a "snap", Feng Yan did not dodge and did not move.

Feng Yan is not considered a triumphant return, he was urgently recalled to Beijing by the emperor. Originally, Jiangcheng was chaotic and peaceful, in fact, there were still many aftermaths to deal with, but the emperor's holy decree had been issued, and Feng Yan rushed back quickly after receiving the decree.

"This is an excerpt jointly played by the general soldiers of Wanzhou and the magistrate of Jiangcheng, you can see for yourself!" The emperor said angrily, slamming his palm on the imperial case, and even the teacup and pen holder on the side trembled slightly.

Feng Yan leaned over and picked up the fold, opened the fold and looked at it at a glance.

The emperor continued angrily: "In the excerpt, it is said that you are soliciting the hearts of the people in Jiangcheng and winning the hearts of the army...... Feng Yan, you are so bold, I trust you so much and entrust you with important tasks, but you use your power for personal gain, and you make the people complain, you make me so disappointed! ”

The emperor usually affectionately calls Feng Yan as Ah Yan, and calling him by his name at this moment shows his anger.

At this time, Cen Yin on the side gave the emperor chrysanthemum tea, the fragrance of chrysanthemums penetrated into the tip of his nose with the heat, and the emperor calmed down a little after taking a sip of tea.

Looking at the tall and jade young man on the other side of the imperial case, the emperor said in a deep voice: "The young man is impetuous after all, and he doesn't know the severity. Ah Yan, I punished you for thinking about it behind closed doors! Are you convinced?! ”

Feng Yan closed the fold, took it in his hand, bowed his head and clenched his fists, and only said five words slowly: "My nephew is willing to be punished." ”

After the words fell, the study was quiet again.

The emperor waved his hand casually, as if tired and disappointed, and said, "Go down." ”

Feng Yan answered, and retreated with the little chamberlain just now, and only the emperor and Cen Yin were left in the imperial study.

The emperor took two more sips of hot tea and said lightly: "Ah Yin, it's still the tea you brewed and my heart." ”

"Emperor Xie is in love." Cen Yin smiled slightly, and said, "The minister must drink three cups of tea every day, which is also familiar." ”

"You love tea." The emperor seemed to remember something, and said with emotion, "The first emperor liked tea, as the saying goes: tea can nourish the spirit of Haoran in the chest and cleanse the block in the heart." I have been exposed to it since I was a child, and I am also good at tea, but in this tea ceremony, I am still inferior to Anping. ”

The emperor looked at the golden chrysanthemums floating in the tea soup, and his eyes gradually became a little trance, "The first emperor often praised Anping Although she is a woman, she is resolute and resolute by nature, and she does not let her eyebrows ......."

"Ah Yin," the emperor put down the teacup, and suddenly looked up and asked, "What do you think of the eldest princess of Anping?" ”

Of course, Cen Yin knew that the topic was no longer around the tea ceremony, and replied with a smile: "The minister looks at Her Royal Highness the eldest princess and acts like a person, but he has a bit of Taoist style, and he watches the flowers bloom and fall in front of the court. ”

Don't be shocked by the humiliation, watch the flowers bloom and fall in front of the court; Go and stay unintentionally, wandering with the clouds outside the sky.

The emperor couldn't help but think of this sentence in his heart, chewed it in his heart for a moment, and then retorted with a smile: "Ah Yin, you were wrong this time. You only know the current eldest princess of Anping, but you don't know Anping more than ten years ago. ”

When the first emperor was still there, he asked Anping to assist the prince. At that time, the crown prince often discussed the major policies of the imperial court with Anping, and there were countless civil and military officials in the court who had risen to prominence through her recommendation.

"It should be said that a hundred-legged insect will not stiffen until death, and there are many people who help it." The emperor's eyes precipitated, and he said lightly, "Feng Yan has to be used." ”

In this way, people can be reassured and grace can be revealed.

The corners of the emperor's mouth slowly curled, and his tone was decisive and strong, with the domineering spirit of a king over the world, "But you must kill his arrogance first, so as not to know who is the master and who is the servant in the future!" ”

Cen Yin stood quietly aside, his eyes flashing slightly, and he raised his eyes to look at the sunset outside the window.

The sunset is like blood, and the twilight is fading.

Feng Yan left the palace before the palace gate was locked, he didn't care about the emperor's attitude at all, and couldn't wait to ride back to the princess's mansion.

It's been nearly two months since he went out on this trip, and Anping almost thought that he might not be able to come back before the Mid-Autumn Festival.

When she saw that Feng Yan, who had tanned a lot, finally returned, she was half happy, half distressed, and after learning that the emperor punished Feng Yan for closing her door, her distress suddenly exceeded her joy.

The dark tide in An Ping's eyes surged, his heart fluctuated, and thousands of words turned into a sigh and an admonition:

"Ah Yan, you hurry up and go down to wash and rest first, and we will talk about big things tomorrow."

"Yes, mother." Feng Yan responded with kindness and retreated.

After he returned to his study, he didn't bother to wash up, and hurriedly asked the little maid Luofeng to call Mo Yi.

"How's it going?" Feng Yan seemed to ask calmly, but his heart was very complicated, on the one hand, he was a little impatient, and on the other hand, he was sincerely afraid.

Even he didn't dare to think about what she was expecting or fearing......

Mo Yi maintained a fist-hugging posture, and said without a trace of ups and downs in his tone: "Childe, the fourth girl of the Duanmu family is nine years old this year, born in Fuqingcheng in the north, her father Duanmu Lang died on the battlefield three years ago, and since then she and her eldest sister have depended on each other, and the two sisters came to Beijing together three years ago to join their grandfather Duanmu Shangshu...... According to rumors in Shangshu Mansion, this Duanmu Fourth Girl is a fool. ”

When he said the last sentence, Mo Yi's sharp eyes revealed a hint of suspicion.

He had seen Duanmu Fei in Huangjue Temple, and he also knew that this nine-year-old girl was articulate, intelligent, and quite familiar with the affairs of the court, and that decisiveness and insight were not inferior to those powerful ministers in the court...... How could she be a fool!

Mo Yi continued: "In the past three years, the fourth girl Duanmu and the eldest girl Duanmu have been keeping filial piety for their father in Shangshu Mansion, and they have stayed at home until February 24, when Mrs. Duanmu took them to Yunmen Temple to practice business, and rested for one night in Yanghezhuang on the outskirts of the city. On February 25, the four girls of Duanmu fell into the water on the Zhuangzi. ”

Feng Yan's pupils shrank sharply in an instant, and when he heard the date "February 25th", his heart felt like angina.

His resignation was not made on February 25 of this year......

Mo Yi, who was half-bowed, didn't notice the abnormality of Feng Yan, and continued: "After that, because of her father's filial piety, the four girls of Duanmu began to walk around in Beijing, and once made some fame in the boudoir show with a splash of ink painting at the condensation meeting in April, and now in the Shangshu Mansion, he has gradually won the attention of Duanmu Shangshu, and frequently enters and leaves his study, and Duanmu Shangshu personally guides his homework......"

Mo Yi told everyone about Duanmu Fei in the past five months from the mouths of the people in Shangshu Mansion, including the fact that she and Duanmu Qi were competing with Duanmu Qi at home in early March; why they happened to meet the emperor on the outskirts of the city in late April; In June, He's birthday banquet and Duanmujun began to assist Xiao He's family; On the day of the martial arts test in July, she had a-for-tat confrontation with Miss Yang Wu outside Luhua Pavilion, which made the other party suffer a dumb loss......

Pile by pile, piece by piece, sentence by sentence, word by word, Feng Yan's heart fluctuated, just like a lonely boat repeatedly thrown up and dropped by the waves, after experiencing a storm and waves, finally sailed into the harbor safely......

He covered half of his face with his right palm to hide his abnormality, and waved his other hand to signal Mo Yi to stand down.

His phoenix eyes were already red, full of tears, crying and laughing, and many pictures flashed in his mind:

The knotted rope that Ah Ci pondered; the familiar taste of rice dumplings and kidney bean rolls; The standard of the hand is like a hairpin depicted in the post...... and her posture of speaking, calmness in case of trouble, and smiling demeanor, all of which are the same as Ah Ci!

He's so stupid and too sluggish!

There were so many clues in front of him for a long time, but he turned a blind eye as if he was blind.

Feng Yan closed his eyes, and little by little straightened out his chaotic thoughts.

The day of his death was February 25.

On the same day, Duanmufei who fell into the water was rescued from the water, and since then, Duanmufei has changed little by little like the empowerment of Daihu, she is proficient in arithmetic, she splashes ink into paintings, and she is very smart...... She quietly made her and her eldest sister Duanmujun's days in Shangshu Mansion more and more comfortable.

He can imagine that if Ah Ci suddenly becomes another person, he will definitely choose to be subtle, dripping through the stones, so that others can slowly accept her changes, but he will not bear to wronged himself.

This is his rhetoric.

He is ninety percent sure that it is Ah Ci!

Feng Yan's eyes couldn't help but soften, no matter how weird, bizarre, and mysterious this thing was, as long as Ah Ci could come back, he would have nothing else to ask for!

However, "nine out of nine" is not enough, he must not admit his mistake, he must try to "confirm the doubt"!

It's not impossible, and the time is just around the corner......

------Off topic------

Recently, I didn't care about the book review area, and the reply was not timely.

My youngest cat, a two-year-old cat, returned to Cat Star yesterday.

On June 2, because of multiple small lumps on his body, he went to the hospital as a skin disease and was clinically diagnosed with mastocytoma. Most of the mastocytoma in cats was benign, and all the indicators were normal at that time, so I was not too anxious to go home and wait for pathology. 15 days later, the pathology came out, extramedullary plasmacytoma, the pathology showed that the asymptomatic cat extramedullary plasmacytoma did not need treatment, and the introduction of this disease on Baidu was almost impossible to find.

On Friday, it suddenly worsened, abdominal breathing, weakness, pain, fasting, hypothermia...... When you go to the hospital, you are already in the terminal stage of multiple myeloma......

The bones of the whole body were in severe pain, and the pain was so painful that I was crying all the time, and I couldn't breathe.

There is no cure, only to die alive and painfully, and finally ......

Happy.

The little prince returned to Maoxing in the early hours of yesterday morning, and it won't hurt anymore.
