Mu Yunlan's eyes lit up, and a wave of anger surged into her heart: "Go and take a look." ”

Yue Jingxuan got up and took her hand: "Don't worry, let's go together." ”

The Imperial Banyan Garden is an independent garden that is arranged separately for the birthday banquet of Yue Jingxuan, and they have been busy for so long, and the tables and seats are set up according to the rank of officials, and some flowers and decorations that need to be arranged have already been arranged.

Because it was the first time to celebrate the birthday of the emperor's uncle, Mu Yunlan could be said to have put a lot of effort into it.

Hurried to the Imperial Banyan Garden, Lin Quan was directing his subordinates to put out the fire, but at this time, the weather had been dry for a long time, and the fire could not be extinguished at all.

Seeing Mu Yunlan coming, Lin Quan's face was full of shame: "Miss, the old slave is negligent, please condemn you." ”

Mu Yunlan's eyes reflected the firelight, her eyes became colder and colder, and in the end, she lowered her eyes, hid all the edges, and stepped forward to help Lin Quan up: "Uncle Lin, you can't prevent it, don't mind, the Royal Banyan Garden will burn if it burns, it's not a big deal." ”

"However, this is the young lady took great pains to arrange, and ......" He personally followed the busy work, naturally knew how much thought the young lady spent for the layout here, during this time, she wanted to see a lot of people, often after seeing people, she hurried over, and even had no time to change clothes, just to give the prince a surprise after the decoration was ready.

Mu Yunlan turned her head to look at Yue Jingxuan: "The prince understands my thoughts, it is more important than anything else, it's just a birthday banquet, Uncle Lin, let everyone pay attention to safety, don't get hurt, let this fire burn, before the birthday banquet, it is also a good sign." ”

"Yes, miss." Lin Quan wiped the sweat from his face, knowing that the fire could not be saved, so he simply ordered people not to waste their efforts.

Such a big thing naturally attracted the people of the City Lord's Mansion, Zan Yuan quickly rushed over, saw the burning Imperial Banyan Garden, his face was full of shock, and he stepped forward to ask Yue Jingxuan for guilt: "Lord Wang, all subordinates should be damned, they didn't take good care of the Imperial Banyan Garden, why did this garden catch fire?" ”

"Natural and man-made disasters are inevitable." Yue Jingxuan's voice was calm, but when he said it, he heard Zan Yuan's ears feel a little cooler.

This is good, but it suddenly caught fire, and it was at this juncture, it was definitely not an accident, and there was no such a coincidental natural disaster, so it could only be a man-made disaster......

"The prince's birthday banquet is approaching, but the royal banyan garden where the banquet is held is on fire, which happened in the subordinate city lord's mansion, no matter how the subordinates are to blame, please punish the prince."

Mu Yunlan looked at the belated guards around her, her eyes sank.

Yue Jingxuan obviously also noticed: "Since the city lord said this, it is unreasonable not to punish you, but if you are punished, there are some reasons that are insufficient, after all, no one expected this matter, so let's protect the guards around here, all the canes will be punished for thirty, and they will be driven out of the city lord's mansion and never used again." ”

"Yes." Zan Yuan got up without changing his face, asked people to count the guards around him, and didn't ask what the reason was, just pressed it on the ground and threw it out of the City Lord's Mansion.

It's been autumn for a while, but the weather shows no signs of coolness, it's still uncomfortably hot, and the shouts of those guards are mixed together, making people feel more and more irritated.

Yue Jingxuan and Mu Yunlan didn't move, but waited for the guards to be beaten before they looked at the Imperial Banyan Garden, where the fire had become smaller.

The fire was soaring here, and Li Yuanzhou, who lived not far away, also rushed over, and saw the incredibleness on his face in the Imperial Banyan Garden, and was very angry when he heard Zan Yuan tell the whole story:

"That's right, that's right, Lord Zhancheng, it's not me talking about you, your guard is too bad, this fire must not be so big directly, if you can find it in advance, maybe the Royal Banyan Garden will be fine."

"City Lord Li, what you said ...... said"

"Hey, look at me, I'm really a big old man, I don't like what I say, I don't know what I heard, I thought I suspected that you set this fire, Lord Zan City, don't mind, I'm a person who speaks, and I have no intention."

The upper and lower conversations were blocked, Zan Yuan barely eased his face, and he couldn't breathe up or down: "City Lord Li knows that he doesn't like what he says." ”

Li Yuanzhou smiled, stretched out his hand and scratched the back of his head: "Lord Wang, something happened to this Imperial Banyan Garden, what should I do with tomorrow's banquet?" ”

Yue Jingxuan's smiling eyes swept over: "Tomorrow, you should remember the bittersweet and sweet, when the king first came to Yunnan, at that time, the five states were in chaos, not to mention the city lord's mansion, even you have not yet become a climate, now the situation is special, remember, remember, remember, before remembering, don't forget your roots." ”

If it was just a vague hint before, now this is basically a clear expression of Yue Jingxuan's dissatisfaction and suspicion, Zan Yuan's expression is embarrassed, and Li Yuanzhou is silent.

Yue Jingxuan didn't care about them: "Yun Lan, go back, you have to get up early tomorrow." ”

"Okay."

When the two left, Li Yuanzhou walked to Zan Yuan's side: "I said Zan Yuan, are you not clever in this way?" ”

"Don't talk nonsense, I don't know anything about this."

"Okay, okay, don't worry, don't you just say it casually, forget it, forget it, I'm leaving." Li Yuanzhou seemed to really just say it casually, and left directly after finishing speaking.

Zan Yuan returned to his courtyard with a calm face, and when he saw Zan Li waiting at the gate of the courtyard, his expression eased slightly: "Li'er, it's so late, why haven't you rested yet?" ”

"Father, I heard that there was a fire in the Royal Banyan Garden?"

"Go to the main hall and say."

Entering the main hall, Zan Yuan waved his hand to let his subordinates retreat: "The Royal Banyan Garden is on fire, and the things prepared inside are burned, you prepare in advance, and tomorrow you will show your skills, and you will definitely make the banquet arrangements leaky." ”

"Yes, father, I have been preparing for a long time, and I will definitely make the banquet go smoothly, and I will definitely spread the reputation, but ......" Zan Li lowered his eyes, looking uneasy.

"What's wrong?"

"Father, I'm worried, the prince is ...... In the end, he didn't appreciate it, but disgusted him. ”

Zan Yuan couldn't help but feel funny when he heard it: "You are talented, my father thought you would figure it out, but now it seems that you still lack a little experience." Now that the imperial court and Yunnan have completely turned against each other, the prince is constantly mobilizing manpower, and it is imperative to fight with the imperial court. It coincided with a serious drought, and most of Dayong could be said to have no harvest, which was a time when the people's hearts were in turmoil.

Yunnan has a favorable time and place, with good horses, grain and grass, soldiers, and generals, everything is ready, and only an order is missing. If you lose this battle, you and I will have no way to live, if you win, the prince will ascend to the great treasure and reign in the world. And what you have to do is to occupy a seat next to him before he ascends the throne. ”

"I understand, but if the prince doesn't like it, or even dislikes me......"

"So what? All we want is a position, it doesn't matter if he likes it or not, whether he likes it or not, as long as you have the support of Zhaotong, as long as there is the Zan family, the prince must treat you well and envelop you in order to balance, with our current momentum, once the prince succeeds, you will at least have a concubine position, as long as you give birth to a prince again......"

Zan Li's face turned slightly pale, but there was a fire burning secretly in his heart: "Father, is this really okay?" ”

"What's not to do?"

Zan Yuan looked at Zan Li, his eyes were full of expectation: "Li'er, your temperament is cultivated for your father's hands, you are not an ordinary boudoir woman, ordinary marriage and childbirth are the burial of your talents, you should stand in a higher position, let all women in the world respect you, temporary gains and losses are not important, the winner is the one who laughs in the end." ”

"Yes, father, daughter understands." Rays of light rose from his heart, and through those rays of light, Zan Li clearly saw the path he was going to take, "Father, is the Imperial Banyan Garden on fire?" ”

"Don't worry, I lost a little guard, it's nothing, the prince won't do anything to me because of such a little thing, besides, even if he wants to have a seizure, there must be evidence, and if he wants to investigate, at most he will find the steward of the Royal Banyan Garden, and that steward is the nail of the Zhu family."

"The Zhu family where Shake Light is?"

"Well, the people I sent to the imperial capital have returned, and they have made the prince angry a few times before, and now they don't know whether they are alive or dead, and they don't have much to do with it, although the Zhu family is in decline now, but the witch doctor family, who knows if there are any special means, you must be careful to contact Zhu Ying and other Zhu family members in the future, so as not to be calculated."

"Yes, father, daughter wrote it down."

"Hmm. Go back early and rest, tomorrow will be busy all day, don't make mistakes and let your efforts go to waste. ”

"Yes." Zan Li walked out, and suddenly stopped, "Father, the prince has been back to Yunnan for a long time, why haven't you seen Emperor Lin all this time?" ”

Lin Ye occasionally came out to show up, and something happened at the Hundred Flowers Banquet last time, but Emperor Lin Zi'an didn't even show up as if he didn't exist.

Zan Yuan frowned: "Emperor...... If it weren't for your reminder, my father would have almost forgotten that Lin Zi'an was no better than others, and the emperor's prestige spread all over the world, and even Yun Rou, who had been at odds with our Dayong for many years, sent someone to see him off when he resigned and returned to his hometown.

For so many years, he lived in seclusion in Lingzhou, I don't know how many people flattered him, hoping to get his guidance, and now, when he came to Yunnan, he was so silent, it was indeed not in line with his identity and style......"

Zan Li bit his lip slightly: "Father, I heard that Emperor Lin likes fine wine, and there will be a fine wine Tu Su delivered tomorrow, so you can personally send an altar over to show the respect of our city lord's mansion." ”

"Okay, Li'er is right, before the banquet starts early tomorrow morning, my father will personally send it over." Zan Yuan looked at her with appreciation, "Li'er is now more careful than her father." ”

Zan Li smiled slightly, and after saluting, he turned around and walked out of the main hall.
