It was already late at night when he returned.

"Yue'er, why haven't you slept yet"?

"Father-in-law, you're back, and everything is going well"?

Yu Li smiled reluctantly: "It's okay."

"But, looking at you, it doesn't look like it's okay wow"?

"Hmm...", Zhan Li did not refute.

"Can you tell me about it?"

"Yue'er, do you want to hear it"?

"If you say, I'll listen, if you don't say it, forget it", Yan Ziyue said deliberately.

"It's okay, you don't understand officialdom, and you don't care about the world, maybe you will have a different opinion", Yan Li pulled Yan Ziyue over and sat down, and talked to her in detail.

"Mrs. Su said something useful, didn't she release it a long time ago"?

"It's also...", he twitched from the corner of his forehead, and had to admit it.

"Father-in-law, I remember that the master used to say that the bell needs to be tied to the bell."

After listening to Yan Ziyue's words, Yan Li thought of something in an instant, looked at Yan Ziyue with a smile and said, "Yue'er, if Marshal An is really released, you will be the number one hero."

"Father-in-law, you have thought of a way."

"You sleep first, and I'll come when I go."

The next day, above the court, Li Wen, a waiter of the Criminal Department, said: "An Lu became depressed and sick in the prison, and he caused a cold, coupled with the recurrence of the injuries left by the perennial leading of the army, and now he can't afford to be sick, I'm afraid it is...".

Xiao Ji didn't listen, and said with a slight anger: "Didn't the Criminal Department ask him for a doctor?"

"Back to Your Majesty, Wei Chen invited, and specially asked Imperial Doctor Shen to take the time to go, but he also said that it was not good, and there was not much time to go on like this", Li Wen replied.

"Imperial Doctor Xuan Shen sees loneliness", although Xiao Ji was angry at An Lu's fault for ignoring the monarch's authority and disobeying the holy decree, he also knew that this matter was not his own crime, and someone must have deliberately arranged it, but the evidence was conclusive at that time, and he had to be dealt with. Later, because his old department left his post without permission, he entered Beijing to jointly protect the marshal, and fell into injustice, although it was not what he did, but it was inseparable from him, and it was normal to annoy him, and then he was impeached by Zhong Taishi and united with the public, deliberately rebelling, and expected that he might be harmed by others, taking care of his merits in the country, and being a talent with soldiers, he was alone in the criminal department, and he has been dragged without punishment, one is also protecting him, and the other is also trying to let him reflect on himself. Now that I heard that his body was already like this, I was not only surprised but also deeply regretful.

After a while, Imperial Physician Shen entered the hall, and when asked about An Lu's physical condition, he glanced at Mrs. Su easily, as if he had made some decision, and nodded: "It is indeed that he is already sick and weak, if he is not well recuperated and healed, I am afraid that he will not live for a month."

Xiao Ji really listened to what Imperial Doctor Shen said, and he regretted it even more in his heart, and was silent for a while and said: "Let him go back to the house to recuperate, but he must not leave the house."

"Your Majesty can't", Zhong Taishi hurriedly stopped: "Your Majesty, An Lu committed a capital crime, Your Majesty is kind to him and his past exploits, and it is already the emperor's grace to not kill him, and now if he dies in prison, it is also right, if he does not die of thieves, and after he comes out, there will be another incident, isn't it just to raise tigers, and let him out is not right, I am afraid it will be difficult to block the mouth of the world."

"Master Zhong, An Lu is already a dying person, what else can he do?" Mrs. Su couldn't help it.

"This, I don't know, maybe he is faking illness"? Zhong Taishi also knew that there were still many people in the army of Xiaoyao Country who were An Lu's old department back then, and there were also some generals who led the troops outside and there were also people who supported him, so he must not be allowed to have a chance to turn over.

"Okay, Taishi Zhong's words are not unreasonable", Xiao Ji glanced at Taishi Zhong, the fierce dark light was hidden, and he said this, knowing his purpose for doing this in his heart.

"Your Majesty, whether An Lu is a real illness or a fake disease, if you don't see it with your own eyes, it's really hard to believe", said Guo Pei, the waiter.

"Your Majesty, why don't you summon An Lu to the palace and debate the truth and falsehood", Dou Zhongyan, the Shangshu of Xiaoyao Guoshu, said.

"Your Majesty, An Lu is a criminal minister, how can there be a gift for a criminal minister to enter the temple"? Zhong Taishi's words were fierce.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid that An Lu's physical condition will not be able to come," Imperial Doctor Shen added.

"Do you have any good advice?" Xiao Ji glanced at the people below.

After a period of silence, the young master Fei Jie said: "Your Majesty, three days later will be the coming-of-age ceremony of the princes, this is a happy event for my free country, when all the civil and military officials are here, it is better to make an exception and let An Lu watch the ceremony, first, to verify whether he is really terminally ill, and second, to teach him a lesson for the princes, so that the princes know that the monarch cannot be disobeyed, and must not do anything disobedient."

After hearing this, Taishi Zhong glared at Fei Jie fiercely, obviously blaming him for being troublesome.

"It's so good, then pass on the decree and let him watch the ceremony together", Xiao Ji still agreed with this proposal, and indeed wanted to verify whether An Lu was really sick.

"Your Majesty...".

Zhong Taishi wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Xiao Ji: "It's so decided, Zhong Taishi doesn't need to say more."

"Your Majesty, if it is confirmed that An Lu is pretending to be sick, it means that An Lu has ill intentions, and I ask Your Majesty to immediately order An Lu's death to set an example", Zhong Taishi still refused to give up.

"Okay, just according to what you say", Xiao Ji was very dissatisfied with Zhong Taishi's hard entanglement, but he couldn't move him easily.

"Retreat from the dynasty", Mr. Li received Xiaoji's signal and immediately announced his retreat from the dynasty, especially afraid that others would say anything and make Long Yan displeased.

Mrs. Su relieved himself at this time, staggered out of the hall, and when he went back, he placed a capable person to keep an eye on the Da Yao of the Criminal Department day and night, trying to ensure that nothing would happen to An Lu before the princes' coming-of-age ceremony.

An Lu is a person who practices martial arts, and he is indeed sick in the kiln, but it is not time to run out, after receiving the news from his cronies An Fu, An Lu, and An Shoumi, he is very grateful to Su Ke.

After Yan Li learned the news from Master Ran, he was relieved, and took a brocade box that he had given him before, and said: "This Master Lao gave it to Marshal An, and after taking it, he will cough up blood and convulsions and have a disordered pulse, and no matter how high his medical skills are, he will not be able to detect the real disease."

"This...", took the brocade box and looked at the road.

"Don't worry, this is not a poison, it's just a medicine of chaos, and the effect of the medicine will fade in less than half an hour, and it won't get in the way."

"That's good", he put the brocade box in his sleeve, chatted with Yu Li for a few words, and left.

Taishi Mansion, Zhong Taishi has already sent someone to secretly investigate the situation of An Lu, and for two days in a row, he has responded that he can't enter the criminal department at all if he encounters difficulties, and this time he sent a master to go, so he must sneak in to find out the truth.

In the past few days, An Lu and An Shou have been guarding outside the Criminal Department day and night, not allowing any suspicious people to enter, and there should be no problem with An Fu inside.

The night was as dark as ink, and it was still drizzling, a group of black-clothed people took advantage of the darkness to sneak to the criminal department, and in an instant, they put down the officials of the criminal department, An Lu and An Shou flew over to stop it, and a fight began. Seeing that the two of them were about to be defeated, they both suffered some sword injuries, and suddenly several masked people flashed out, all of them were strength-based skills, only wounded and not killed, and an hour later, the man in black was beaten back, and the masked man left without even saying hello.

Daxiangguo Temple, Qinghai returned to the temple and changed his clothes and came to Master Ran's meditation room.

"Abbot, Lord Donale, we are back", Qinghai reported Ran and Ran Li after entering the door.

"How"? Zhan Li asked.

"As expected, someone did attack the criminal department."

"Marshal An is fine, but you can hurt people's lives"? Master Ran asked unhurriedly.

"They didn't get in, we all paid attention, and they didn't hurt anyone."

"Okay, you go down."

"Yes, abbot", Qinghai saluted and retreated.

"High priest, how can you conclude that the other party will do this tonight?"

"Guess, after tonight, I'm afraid I won't have much of a chance," said Yu Li with a smile and looked at Master Ran.

"I see, high priest, that is, he is very wise."

"The master is too famous", he smiled, put away the posture of meditation, got up and said, "Master, I'll go back first."

"Let's go", with a smile he watched as he opened the door of the meditation room and walked out.

He left the small courtyard and just lay down after entering the room, when he heard Yan Ziyue's voice: "Father-in-law, are you going to attend the princes' coming-of-age ceremony tomorrow, can you take me there?"

"No, you forgot about hurting the third prince and the fifth prince, what should you do if you go and be recognized."

"No, there will be so many people at that time, wouldn't it be good for me to pretend to be a little eunuch," Yan Ziyue said and turned over and lay on the bed.

"That's not good, I'll come back as soon as possible when I'm done, and take you to eat the food in Xiaojing, okay?"

"Okay", Yan Ziyue knew that no matter how she said it, she wouldn't let her go, but am I the kind of person who won't go if she doesn't let me go?

Yan Li saw that Yan Ziyue actually agreed, turned over and lay down to sleep, and had some doubts in his heart, estimating that she could not be so obedient, she must have already thought about going secretly, and she couldn't stop her, so she had to adapt when the time came.

In the early morning, when the angle of sunlight could be projected in, Yan Ziyue slept until she woke up naturally, turned over and sat up, glanced at the soft couch that was already empty, smiled, washed up, changed into eunuch clothes and went out.

Qiongyuan was unusually lively, there were several times more people than usual, Yan Ziyue was dressed in eunuch clothes, with a low brim cover, walking in the crowd. I finally came to Lingcang Pavilion, and after entering the door, I looked around and didn't see anyone, didn't they all go to the banquet hall, and they went too clean, and there was no one left behind, what if this was a frame-up or something.

As soon as Yan Ziyue thought of this, she heard the door squeak open, and then flew into the bedroom of Xiao Yan, who had the highest position and the best observation angle in the Lingcang Pavilion, closed the door, opened a small crack in the window, and watched the every move of the people who came in the courtyard.
