Chapter 501: Deliberately Followed

The old emperor knew that a clear and upright official like Dongfang Yi around him was on the verge of extinction.

There are many officials who are afraid of the head and tail, and there are even some tumors of the imperial court entrenched here, with lush branches and leaves, climbing branches and intertwined, it is not easy to eradicate them, pull out the radish and bring out the mud.

This court is like a cloud of turbidity, and it needs a clear spring like Dongfang Yi to thoroughly wash this court and purge the old emperor's hearing and hearing.

Moreover, the old emperor has begun to suspect Zhao Wenlu, and he needs Dongfang Yi to balance Zhao Wenlu.

Once an uncontrollable event occurs, I am afraid that only Dongfang Yi can save the situation.

"The micro-ministers are weak, I am afraid that I will live up to the emperor, and the hereditary title of Nalan Mansion and Jin'er, I am an official who has violated the law." Dongfang Yi politely refused, always feeling that it was better to leave this kind of place of right and wrong as soon as possible.

"If you've been unhappy because of what I wronged you before, I can just apologize." The old emperor retreated and forced Dongfang Yi.

"Wechen doesn't dare." Even if Dongfang Yi didn't know how to lift, he didn't dare to make the old emperor apologize.

It's no different from rebellion.

"Sitting on this chair, I can't help myself." The old emperor pointed to the dragon chair that symbolized power, "Do you know how many pairs of eyes are looking at me behind my back, how many people are coveting this chair, and they all say that the emperor is a lonely man, even my own son, I dare not tell them the true physiognomy." ”

Maybe this is the first time that the old emperor confided his heart to others, and Dongfang Yi is not a person who cares about him, nor is he a relationship with his children and relatives, if it weren't for the business reform, maybe Dongfang Yi and the old emperor can't talk.

But it was such a weak relationship that made the old emperor completely relax his vigilance, without any defenses in his heart, and honestly told each other about the pain in his heart for so many years.

"Your Majesty, pay attention to the dragon body." Dongfang Yi comforted softly.

He suddenly felt that the Ninety-Five Honor in front of him was as majestic as a mountain, usually high and arrogant, but he didn't expect that he was just a helpless old man, and he also had his seven emotions and six desires.

It's just that sitting in this position has turned the old emperor into an emotionless person, there is no harmony between husband and wife, filial piety of father and son, and joy of children and grandchildren, and some are just scheming calculations.

"I hope you can think about it seriously and kneel down."

The old emperor looked at Dongfang Yi with an old look, and his tone seemed to be pleading, but there was a little more helplessness.

"Yes, Weichen retired."

Dongfang Yi left the palace with a heavy heart, looked at the shadow of companionship along the way, and suddenly showed a relieved smile on his face.

It is said that being alone just describes a person who is lonely, but Dongfang Yi is very relieved to arrive. The old emperor probably didn't even have a shadow to accompany him, and he was worried that someone would play a witchcraft.

A few days later, after a period of precipitation, the false accusation slowly faded in people's sight, and no one mentioned it.

Seeing Dongfang Yi's reaction was still to stammer, when Li was planning himself, this was the so-called reaching out and not hitting the smiling person.

Zhao Wenlu was not idle for a moment, he was grounded in the house, and he started farming in order to hide people's eyes, which made people feel puzzled.

However, in private, he was supervising and training soldiers, and after waves of screening, the overall level of soldiers was finally raised to a higher level.

When Zhao Wenlu went to check, he was able to make a difference.

Nalan Jin also found out that the boss Kong who they went to talk about business that day was Peony who was a matchmaker from the middle, and asked Shen Caiyi to lure them over.

After Dongfang Yi learned about the whole thing, the whole person stayed in place, and it took a long time to ease up. Usually, no matter how much Shen Caiyi messes around, he is just jealous, but this time he was involved in the government.

almost killed everyone in Nalan Mansion and lost their lives, it was simply unforgivable, Dongfang Yi decided not to condone Shen Caiyi anymore.

Hearing that Dongfang Yi was just a false alarm, unscathed, Shen Caiyi slowly put down the gloss of his throat.

Shen Caiyi noticed that Dongfang Yi had been investigating the events of that day, so he wanted to find an opportunity to explain it to Dongfang Yi.

"Dongfang, you're back, there's freshly brewed tea in the house." Shen Caiyi was waiting for Dongfang Yi outside early, and when he saw him coming back, he went up and blocked his way.

"I've been talking to a few adults about things, and I've already drunk a lot of tea." Dongfang Yi took a step back and kept a distance from Shen Caiyi.

"Actually...... I have something to tell you, the events of that day ......"

Shen Caiyi wanted to clarify Boss Kong's matter in person in front of Dongfang Yi, but Dongfang Yi didn't give her a chance to explain at all.

In the past, the goods were for the sake of her pity and innocence, and forgave her again and again.

It's just that this time, he almost hurt Nalan Jin, and in Dongfang Yi's heart, there was already an insurmountable gap with Shen Caiyi.

"I remember that there is still a little business to deal with, and I will come back to it."

Dongfang Yi dodged the hand handed over by Shen Caiyi, and before he could touch it, he left a sad arc in the air.

Shen Caiyi stood desolate in place, watching Dongfang Yi leave in front of her.

After that, Shen Caiyi looked for various opportunities, hoping to have a chance to be alone with Dongfang Yi.

However, while Northeast Dongfang Yi refused.

"How's that, what did the East say?" Shen Caiyi waited anxiously on the side.

"My uncle said he wasn't hungry and asked me to take the snacks away." Chunlan replied cautiously.

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible, the East will not do this to me, it won't! ”

Shen Caiyi slowly realized that Dongfang Yi was deliberately alienating her, more like she was dodging.

She felt that something was wrong, and she wanted to ask Peony to understand, what happened that day?

But disaster doesn't come alone.

used Boss Kong's design to frame Dongfang Yi, so that all the plans after that fell through.

Zhao Wenlu didn't find his own reasons, he attributed all the faults to Peony and began to snub her.

The scenery of peony in the house is also not as good as before. She is also trying her best to regain Zhao Wenlu's trust.

It happened that Shen Caiyi sent it to the door, and she secretly planned in her heart.

"Tell me, what happened that day? Why has the East become more and more cold to me since then, and even began to avoid me. Shen Caiyi asked angrily when she saw the peony go up.

Peony was originally angry with the gift in her heart, but at this time, Shen Caiyi bumped into it, and Peony raised her hand to slap it.

Syllable!

"This slap is to tell you to see the identity of the person in front of you clearly and pay attention to your own proportions when you speak." Peony glared at Shen Caiyi and taught him a lesson.

"You dare to hit me!" Shen Caiyi covered her face and roared.

"It's light to hit you, if it weren't for me this time, you would be like Boss Kong, waiting for your head to be different." Peony frightened Shen Caiyi, calmed the aura, and grasped the initiative.

Lose one's head!

Shen Caiyi immediately shuddered in fright, and all her anger turned into fear, and she looked at Peony with flashing eyes.

"What should I do next, I don't want to die, and I don't want to lose the East, what should I do?" Shen Caiyi's hoarse voice was about to cry.

"That's right, there's a begging attitude." Peony picked up Shen Caiyi's chin, "As long as you listen to me, I won't die without help." ”

"I'll listen to you." Shen Caiyi was completely captured.

"We can let the third prince and Dongfang Yi be assassinated at the same time, and they will definitely fight together in an emergency, so that they can join forces." Peony quietly told Shen Caiyi the plan.

As soon as Shen Caiyi heard it, he felt that this method would not work.

The relationship between Dongfang Yi and Zhao Wenlu is like fire and water, this is a well-known thing, as long as they can speak.

will say that it is impossible for the two of them to fight side by side.

"It's not okay, not to mention an assassination, even if two people meet together, it's a problem." Shen Caiyi shook his head and vetoed it.

"You go to the third prince, just say that for Dongfang Yi, ask him for help, I will help from the side, this matter will definitely be done."

Peony gave Shen Caiyi advice, and for her own purposes, she calculated everyone around her, including Zhao Wenlu.

"Okay."

Shen Caiyi hesitated for a moment, it is better to have a solution than to do nothing. For Dongfang Yi, Shen Caiyi is willing to try.

To Shen Caiyi's surprise, Zhao Wenlu was so good, she just said her thoughts, and before she could open her mouth to plead, Zhao Wenlu agreed.

It's just that when Zhao Wenlu came to find Dongfang Yi, it didn't go so well.

"The invitation of the third prince was originally for appreciation, but recently I have been busy with affairs, and I really can't leave." Dongfang Yi was vigilant and politely rejected Zhao Wenlu.

"The previous thing was that this king was negligent in disciplining his subordinates, and this time I invited you and my wife to make amends for what happened last time, please don't refuse."

Zhao Wenlu suddenly treated Corporal Dongfang Yilixian like a different person, and he was very polite, and he bowed slightly throughout the whole process.

and Zhao Wenlu, who is usually arrogant and domineering, is simply like two people.

"The matter has been clarified, so the third prince doesn't have to take it to heart." Dongfang Yi frowned, looking at Zhao Wenlu's changes, he always felt that it was a weasel giving a New Year's greeting to a chicken.

"If you don't agree to go on an outing with this king, you must still blame this king in your heart." Zhao Wenlu sniffled with grief, "This king knows that he has done a lot of things that have made you misunderstand before, but this king hopes that you can understand that everything is involuntarily, and this outing is just to resolve the previous unpleasantness, that's all." ”

Zhao Wenlu deliberately said that he was very desolate, and looked at Dongfang Yi with innocent eyes, which made his heart feel creepy.

"No, the third prince misunderstood, it's just ......" Dongfang Yi was poor in words and couldn't find a reason to refuse.

It happened that he was interrupted by Nalan Jin at this time, "Since the third prince sincerely invited, then let's go together." ”

Nalan Jin observed on the side for a long time, and knew that Zhao Wenlu was not well-intentioned, so he simply checked the plan clearly.
