As he spoke, he could already hear the sound of ping-pong clashes outside the door.

The figure at the door flashed, and a military general with a similar figure to Emperor Chen and a surprisingly beautiful face walked in, about thirty years old, and his face was expressionless, which was really a piece of ice.

I heard that Feng Lan had a handsome face, but I didn't think it was really a lie.

That Feng Lan walked in, ignored Pei Zhenwan who was sitting on the side all the way, went straight to Emperor Chen, saluted, called His Majesty, and said nothing else.

Emperor Chen turned around and said very easily: "Your pace is a lot slower today, come and come, sit." ”

Emperor Chen was like an ordinary person entertaining visitors, pointing to the seat in his hand, Feng Lan didn't say anything, he walked over and sat down, calmly and unafraid, his eyes drooped slightly, and he only stared at the place in front of the case.

Emperor Chen didn't have the majesty of an emperor, but he was a lot more relaxed, just like the gathering of old friends of the people, and his sitting posture was not so upright, and he asked idly: "Is the forbidden army okay tonight?" ”

"Okay."

There was no emotion in this answer, and even the face did not change much, only squeezed these two words from Wei Qi's lips.

Emperor Chen had long been accustomed to it, and nodded: "Then sit with me for a while and talk." ”

Feng Lan's eyelashes drooped slightly, counting as a reply. He sat there, except for the solemnity around him, and the coldness between his eyebrows and eyes seemed to be frosty, and nothing else changed.

"Come, Ah Wan," Emperor Chen beckoned, "Come and see, this is the serious Feng Lan." ”

Pei Zhenwan got up and walked closer, owing her body as a greeting gift. Emperor Chen pointed to the position beside her, and she sat down.

This movement, coupled with the strange concubine's greeting, did not make Feng Lan's expression have any waves, he didn't say a word, his eyes did not squint, if he did not know his temperament, I was afraid that he would think that this person had no one in his eyes, and there was no etiquette at all.

"You see, he's such a boring person, isn't it boring?" Although Emperor Chen's mouth was boring, his eyes were flashing, and he naturally didn't feel bored in his heart.

Pei Zhenwan raised her eyes and glanced at Feng Lan's handsome face, and smiled slightly: "The concubine has heard a sentence, she is introverted and introverted, and she is unparalleled in the world. The Qing Dynasty is beautiful, and the beauty is natural. When I saw General Feng today, I remembered it. ”

When Emperor Chen heard this, he couldn't help but stroke his palm: "Miao Ye, this description of Feng Lan, a stereotypical person, is a bit ingenious, General Feng, what do you think?" ”

"Whatever you want." Feng Lan glanced at Pei Zhenwan lightly and said silently.

Emperor Chen turned his head: "You see, I said that he is not serious, and he absolutely cherishes words like gold, and every time I am with him, I have to talk to myself." I don't know how his Feng family taught him to be like this, he is not very old, but he is so solemn, he has no wind and snow, and he has no sophistication. ”

The two of them grew up together when they were young, and Feng Lan was Emperor Chen's companion when he was the prince, naturally they have been getting along for more than ten years, and they know each other's temperament very well, even if Feng Lan is so cold as ice, Emperor Chen can be close to him, and he is naturally right about his temperament.

Pei Zhenwan and the two are not familiar with each other, and they are the so-called newly sealed beauties, where can they be ridiculed at will, so they have to laugh and say: "The concubine listened to her father when he read the main treatise, saying that politics is like frost, and adultery is dead; Mighty as thunder, thieves are not born. The concubines are shallow, and they only know that this is what they yearn for. ”

After saying this, she saw Feng Lan's eyes glance at her very quickly, but she returned to her cold appearance. Emperor Chen nodded and praised: "It's rare that you still know the Zhengbu theory." ”

As soon as Fang Cai's words came out, Pei Zhenwan already regretted it a little, such a statement was too conspicuous, but now it is appropriate to hide clumsiness, too prominent vision, not to mention that in front of a stranger like Feng Lan, it is a little abrupt, so she took advantage of Emperor Chen's words and said slightly apologetically: "The concubine is vain." ”

Emperor Chen waved his hand, poked Feng Lan, who was sitting there like a wooden man, and asked, "It's a serious matter, has there been any progress in the case after these seven or eight days?" ”

This question, Bacheng is talking about the case of serving the imperial history, Pei Zhenwan quietly lowered her head, and listened carefully with the rest of her ears.

Feng Lan shook her head: "Not yet." ”

"A few days ago, the Criminal Department reported that it was a murder after verification, but it has been pursued for so long, and there is not even a clue. Have you been staring at those two places for so long, and there has been no movement at all? ”

Emperor Chen's words were vague, Pei Zhenwan thought about it, and probably guessed seventy or eighty. Emperor Chen's suspicion in this matter also listed a few suspicious points, which made the forbidden army secretly check, but I don't know if the two people who Emperor Chen was suspicious of overlapped with his own list? Thinking like this, he naturally wanted to hear Feng Lan's answer.

Who knows just four words: "It's not unusual." ”

"Nothing out of the ordinary?" Emperor Chen repeated this sentence, but his body leaned forward, his fingers rubbing, naturally thinking about something.

Feng Lan was not in a hurry, just sat quietly like this, like a stone statue.

Emperor Chen straightened up: "You have been looking at the Criminal Department to investigate the case these days, but what is the problem?" Could it be that the people who colluded with the Criminal Department deliberately fished in troubled waters? ”

"No, the Criminal Department is really exhausted in handling this matter." Feng Lan replied very sincerely, but it was rare for him to say so much this time.

Emperor Chen sighed: "This group of people in the Criminal Department always lacks some strange ways to handle this kind of case, and this case is based on their methodical investigation, but I am afraid that it will only end in the end." ”

"Do you want to transfer it to the Marquis of Mao?" Feng Lan asked lightly.

Emperor Chen shook his head: "There is no empirical evidence yet, but this is inappropriate." Those people are all high-level, if there is evidence, Wei Mu's identity can be used to settle this case. But at this moment, chasing the wind and catching shadows, stirring him in, and then the shadow of the cup bow and snake will stir up people's panic, and the situation will only be more turbulent. ”

Pei Zhenwan said in her heart, if this matter is as she arranged, I am afraid that it will be good if Wei Mu can clean himself up when he arrives, and he will be ordered to handle the case, but I am afraid that it will be impossible. Seeing the conversation between the two like this, she quietly turned her head to the side. The people of the harem, when they hear about these court affairs, always look suspicious.

Feng Lan lowered his head: "The minister is not thoughtful. ”

Emperor Chen didn't care, he thought about it for a while, looked up and saw Pei Zhenwan who turned around, and said strangely: "We are talking here, why did you turn around by yourself?" ”

"Your Majesty is discussing matters with the general, and the concubines should not listen in vain." Pei Zhenwan had no choice but to answer like this, thinking silently in her heart, is this emperor accustomed to such an unorthodox appearance when he deals with himself on weekdays?

"Get along in private, don't stick to this," Emperor Chen pulled her back, "I'm used to being loose with Feng Lan, you just think of it as an old friend." If you shouldn't have listened, I won't take you aside. ”

This was said clearly, and Pei Zhenwan also nodded.

"You're also witty, but what do you think?" Emperor Chen asked with a smile.

Feng Lan was a little surprised, and couldn't help but have a flash in her expression, her eyes wandered over Pei Zhenwan's face, and she looked at Emperor Chen with an inquiring and untrustworthy intent. It's normal to say that, who would believe that a person who was named a concubine by the palace maid in the palace brought with him could still have an opinion on such a secret case?

What's more, it is already taboo to listen to the affairs of the court in vain, so do you still want to discuss it in vain?

Feng Lan's reaction was seen by Pei Zhenwan. His expression was different, which naturally meant that Emperor Chen's move was also abnormal. Why do you have to speak out on this matter yourself? Pei Zhenwan couldn't help but hesitate, if this matter is not well handled, she is afraid that there will be endless troubles in the future.

Emperor Chen smiled and said to Feng Lan: "Don't underestimate her, in terms of whimsy and human feelings, she is much more transparent than you." We are in the game, and we may not be able to break it for a while, she can be regarded as a complete outsider, maybe in a word, it will make us pause? ”
