Chapter Ninety-Seven: The World is Ruthless and Royal
A rare smile appeared on Li Yan's face, and he threw the exam paper in his hand aside: "It's really good." ”
As he spoke, he gave Li Yi a few more copies.
Overall, these ones are much worse than the first one, but they are much better than the messy eight-strand essays.
"It seems that the royal brother is worried about the flood." Li Yi said with emotion.
Li Yan didn't even raise his head: "Do you remember why Mrs. Lu was convicted back then?" ”
This sentence without a beginning or end made Li Yi stunned for a moment.
Li Yi didn't remember the matter of Mrs. Lu very clearly, at that time he was far away from the center of the court and went to the temple to spend his life.
However, Li Yi was still a little clear about the rumors at that time.
"You mean, Mrs. Lu recommended one of his relatives to go to control the water, and as a result, the villagers of three villages along the coast were drowned?" When encountering this, Li Yi did not have any ups and downs when he spoke.
It was only three villages where the villagers were completely drowned, and many people along the coast were so guilty that they have not been able to return to their hometowns until now.
At that time, it was the Queen Mother who was in power, and the Queen Mother uprooted Mrs. Lu's family and announced it to the world.
Mrs. Lu filled his pockets and deliberately arranged his relatives to the position of disaster relief.
Everyone in the world thought that the Lu family deserved to die, and the people repeatedly wrote to demand that Lu Taifu be executed.
Since then, the Lu family has been destroyed, which can be regarded as reassuring many people.
But now that Li Yan has brought up the old things again, could it be that there was something strange about the events of the past?
Li Yan had a cold face: "At that time, the Lu family missed someone, you go and check it carefully." ”
"Missing one?" Li Yi raised his eyebrows.
How did Li Yan know about such a secret thing?
Seeing that Li Yi's expression was wrong, Li Yi casually picked up the pen on the side and threw it at him.
"Mrs. Lu's granddaughter Lu Xiyao is still alive. I always felt that something wasn't quite right here. As for what was wrong, Li Yan couldn't say it for a while.
He was finally able to control the court, and most of the harem was in his own hands.
The Queen Mother has been very quiet these days, and Concubine Jing did not dare to leave the palace because of the last incident.
Up and down the palace, quietly.
But another Lu Xiyao suddenly came out.
"Lu Xiyao......" Li Yi slowly muttered the name on the tip of his tongue.
He always felt that the name was very familiar, and he immediately remembered it.
"Is that the little girl who used to bring you food back then? I remembered, at that time, I brought you food, and you just told me that another partner brought it to you, and it made me angry at that time. Li Yi was angry when he thought of this.
When the old matter was brought up again, Li Yan laughed out loud: "You go check first, remember not to startle the snake, and don't let anyone find out!" ”
"Got it, got it. Be your brother, now be your subordinate. Li Yi stretched.
Alas, he just wanted to be an idle prince, but now he was running around for Li Yan's affairs, and he should not have secretly run back from there if he knew this.
But this is also what he thinks, even if he doesn't come back, Li Yan will take him back after a while.
After sending Li Yi away, Li Yan sat alone in the Heart Cultivation Hall and looked at the rest of the exam papers.
Looking at it, I suddenly realized that something was wrong.
"The sea is not shy about it." Li Yan shouted loudly.
Hai Budi, who was standing at the door on an errand, was about to fall asleep, and when he heard Li Yan's call, he hurriedly ran in: "The slave is here." ”
"How is she?" Li Yan asked, with a hint of impatience in his voice.
Hai Bu straightened the hat on his head: "The queen has never come out since she returned to the palace, and there has been no movement from inside, I'm afraid she is sulking, Your Majesty, you should go over and have a look earlier?" ”
His voice was particularly worried, for fear that one would accidentally anger Li Yan.
The narrow eyes narrowed slightly, and Li Yan sensed that something was wrong.
He looked at Hai Bu and asked, "You say, if I introduce Miss Lu into the palace and make her a concubine, what will the queen think?" ”
Hai Buxi showed a trace of embarrassment on his face: "This slave is not a man, so naturally he doesn't understand this." ”
Why does the emperor still ask such a question?
He is just a eunuch, and he is also an old eunuch, he has never experienced the affairs of men and women, how do you know what the relationship between the emperor and the queen should be?
"But ......" Hai Bu didn't mince words, and after thinking about it, he decided to say a few words for Fu Yao, "The queen mother is innocent, but she is a rare person with a heart, and she has the emperor in her heart, so she naturally doesn't want the emperor to have other women around her." ”
This sentence seems to speak to Li Yan's heart.
He looked into the distance and nodded slightly.
There were so many concubines around the first emperor, and even after he died, there were still a few concubines in the palace who had never been lucky.
What's the use of having so many concubines, do you balance the court?
How many women did he remember in his heart?
Are the other women willing to be emperor first and welcome new concubines?
Thinking about it in other words, she is unwilling, and he will not force it.
"Swing, Fengluan Palace."
There was a burst of fragrant plum smell from the dark palace walls. It's refreshing to smell it.
It's just that in the breath, there is a faint sound like a blade.
This knife is sharp, it is extraordinary to listen to, Li Yan raised his eyebrows, and the only person who can use a knife in Fengluan Palace is An Chengyue except Fu Yao.
And today, An Chengyue didn't come out, so now he is acting recklessly inside, and only Fu Yao is holding a sword.
Sure enough, the moment he pushed the door open, Li Yan saw Fu Yao's long wooden knife standing in the middle of the courtyard, wielding a long knife.
This long knife was given to Fu Yao by Li Yan personally, but it is more suitable for young children, and Fu Yao, an adult woman, looks extremely funny when she uses it.
But today, every action of Fu Yao is vigorous and serious.
There are a few moves that seem to be much better than those who have practiced swordsmanship for many years.
"Niangniang, the emperor is here!" Shinyanagi, who was guarding the door, hurriedly said.
If it was in the past, Fu Yao would have put down the long knife in his hand and ran to hug Li Yan, but today Fu Yao turned a deaf ear and pretended that he hadn't heard anything.
This is a little temper, Li Yan knew it himself, and took a few steps forward, seeing that he was about to approach Fu Yao.
The movement of Fu Yao's hand stopped.
Fu Yao's eyes widened and he looked at Li Yan, his eyes full of blame.
"What's wrong with being so angry? Isn't there something wrong with me? Li Yan stepped forward and did not blame Fu Yao for dancing with the long knife in front of him.
He was embarrassed to ask!
What did you do, don't you have any points in your heart?
Fu Miao looked at the man in front of him angrily.
Sure enough, all the men in the world are the same, and they still want to marry someone else back to the palace.
The expression on the woman's face that she wanted to be a concubine was so obvious, she didn't believe that Li Yan couldn't see it!
Sure enough, what my mother said was right, the most ruthless thing in the world is the royal family!
