As soon as he came down from court, Liu Zhao felt that Wu Leng's expression was not good.

Due to the large number of people, he did not ask in detail and went directly back to the back hall of Zhangde Palace.

But before the emperor could sit down firmly, Wu Leng was already worried: "Your Majesty, there is news coming to the palace from outside, saying that Jiang Mi was tampered with in preparation for the Dragon Boat Festival."

"What do you mean?" Liu Zhao frowned and looked at him in confusion. "Have you been passive?"

Wu Leng was also confused: "Because the matter has not been investigated clearly, I don't know. What is certain is that this batch of rice may not be delivered to the palace on time, or it may not be new rice at all but old rice. As for the

I think your Majesty should know why this is so."

Liu Zhao narrowed his eyes and said calmly: "You mean because of Mr. Deng?"

"A big festival is coming soon, and Mr. Deng is responsible for the food. For such a big festival, if there are no glutinous rice to make rice dumplings for His Majesty and the royal family to enjoy, let alone to distribute to all the palace people, wouldn't it be a joke?" Wu Lengchui said.

First, he said worriedly: "I think only Deng Guiren's status is worthy of them using such despicable methods. They don't even care about your majesty's face."

Liu Zhao's eyes tightened and he looked at Wu Leng silently.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I made a mistake." Wu Leng hurriedly bowed and apologized.

"It's okay, I keep you by my side just because I like to hear you tell the truth." Liu Zhao just felt a little ironic: "I lifted them up, step by step, to where they are today. I thought they would be content and grateful. But unexpectedly

It’s okay to catch a mouse and put it in a rice vat to eat away at my empire, but it’s still greedy..."

"What your Majesty said is true. It's just that my servant has asked people to go and check. There is not much rice left in the palace, and it is all old rice. It is not enough at all. And if you go to collect rice now, you will not be able to do anything.

If it gets bigger, it will definitely arouse the thoughts of those people. It will further solidify the rumors that Your Majesty promotes the Deng family. At that time, the Deng nobles will only be more dangerous." Wu Qiang said with a look of guilt: "It's all my fault.

, I didn’t realize this until this time.” The emperor thought for a while and said: “Deng Guiren is smart and astute, and you can tell at a glance that he is blessed. He will definitely not be as useless as Guo Xueer who died tragically in Yongxiang. Since the matter is

If you go to her, let her resolve it on her own. Wu Leng, you and I don’t have to take action."

"But Your Majesty..." Wu Leng didn't understand why the Emperor didn't care about this matter. After thinking about it carefully, it became clearer. "Since Your Majesty said so, I don't have to worry about it anymore."

"Hmm." Liu Zhao slightly nodded: "I haven't played chess with Da Situ for several days. Go and invite him to the palace."

"No." Wu Leng bowed respectfully and left. This time he came back to his senses. With great difficulty, the emperor finally made up his mind to make this move of the Deng family. No matter how bad it went, he would not let Deng Guiren fail to succeed. This great Situ

, must be the reinforcements brought in by His Majesty.

In the afternoon, Deng Sui led Tuo Xian and Sirou to Anfu Hall.

Feng Zhishui was very surprised. He didn't expect Deng Guiren to come over suddenly. "Isn't Deng Guiren busy with arrangements for the Dragon Boat Festival feast? Why do you have time to come here at this time?"

Su Xin, the nearest maid, also felt strange: "Yes, doesn't Mr. Deng only go to Yongle Palace on weekdays? Why did he come to us all of a sudden?"

"Don't worry about it for now. Ask someone to invite Mr. Deng to serve tea in the main hall and help me change my clothes." Young Master Feng Zhishui couldn't help but mutter in her heart. Mr. Deng didn't go anywhere else, but he wanted to come to her palace. Could it be that there is something of her in there?

Calculating?

He quickly changed his clothes and went to the main hall.

At this time, Deng Sui had asked Sirou to send the embroidered sachets to Yang Gongren.

"I am late, please forgive me." Feng Zhishui walked into the hall with a smile on her face, with a look of guilt on her face.

"It's your place originally, why do you need to be so polite?" Deng Sui said with a smile: "Come here to disturb me at this time, I won't disturb your lunch break, right?"

"Of course not, sir, please take a seat." Feng Zhishui hurriedly asked someone to pour tea and put fruits on the table attentively. "It's rare for a noble man to sit here with me. It's so dazzling."

"I thought that the sachet that Yang Gongren gave me was very good, so I came over to ask the two sisters if they had any exquisite embroidery samples. After finishing the Dragon Boat Festival, I happened to have some time to make some sachets and purses.

"Deng Sui thought to himself that if she made a mess of a grand ceremony like the Dragon Boat Festival, His Majesty might ground her and imprison her in anger. It would be nice to do some embroidery while she has nothing to do, so she won't spend her days staring at others.

.

"Yes, yes." Feng Zhishui smiled brightly: "For such a small matter, you can just ask someone to tell you. Why do you need to come here in person? I will let Su Xin sort it out and send it to you later.

Garter Palace.”

She said this, but in her heart she hoped that Deng Guiren would not come again. Yin Guiren's thoughts are the most elusive. When she should be angry, she smiled warmly. But it was a very small thing, and she could still get angry.

You have to do whatever it takes. There are many examples like this. Who knows when you don’t pay attention, someone will take advantage of it...

Deng Sui took a sip of tea and felt that Feng Zhishui didn't seem to like her coming here. He must be afraid that Yin Guiren would misunderstand her and would not be able to tell her clearly. "In the end, I am bothering Sister Feng."

Since he was not welcome, Deng Sui was not ignorant. He glanced outside the palace and saw that Sirou was already waiting there. She must have handed the things to Yang Gongren. She smiled and took a sip of tea and said gently: "It's time too."

It’s getting late, I’m just about to go see how the ingredients are being prepared for Sir Liu’s meal. After all, the Dragon Boat Festival is just two days away.”

Feng Zhishui was so smart that he immediately sensed the suspicion in Deng Guiren's heart. He stood up in a hurry and apologized: "Deng Guiren, please don't be surprised. I originally wanted to keep you here for a while, but since you have something to be busy with

, then I will have no choice but to visit Jiade Palace next time."

"Okay." Deng Sui was as gentle as water, with a calm smile: "We are all sisters in the palace. I welcome you to come and sit here often."

After sending Deng Guiren out, Su Xin dared to show his timidity: "Beauty, this Deng Guiren looks really different. There is no air of superiority at all! But if she is not really approachable, she will be smiling. Such a person

, her thoughts are the most difficult to guess. And this servant didn’t understand what her purpose was..."

"Man told you, but I didn't understand it either." Feng Zhishui sighed faintly: "That's all, it doesn't matter what her purpose is. In short, we should just do what we should do, as long as we don't let anyone find fault."

After leaving the palace door, a faint smile appeared on Tuo Zhen's lips.

"What?" Deng Sui noticed her subtle expression and couldn't help but ask more.

"My servant is thinking that Miss Feng has always been able to adapt to the changing circumstances and knows how to watch people's emotions. But today, her impeccable temperament has changed. Anyone can see the fear in her heart." After laughing, she felt apprehensive.

She also sensed something sensitively: "My lord, do they all know that there will be something going on in the palace, but they deliberately hide it from you. I guess that Feng Meiren may be afraid that you will come to inquire about the news, and she can't tell her what to do.

To be so scared..."

Deng Sui looked at Tuo Zhen's face and said with a smile: "What can I find out? It's just that the soldiers came to cover up the water and the earth."

The only thing I am confident about is that the emperor will not bring down the Deng family so easily. Since the emperor will not fulfill the wishes of the Yin family, it does not matter if she does not have Nuomi. She can still live peacefully in the palace.

Seeing the noble man's reaction, Tuo Zhen knew something in his heart. "I understand, this slave."

"The common people pay homage to Deng Guiren."

The voice came from behind, which surprised Deng Sui. He stopped and turned around, and Deng Sui was even more surprised. "Su Suzi, it's you."

"It is indeed a blessing for the common people that the nobles still remember the common people." Su Wen bowed respectfully: "It is rare to meet a noble person in the palace. The common people have a peace charm here, so give it to the noble people."

Tuo Zhen was a little confused, but still took the peace talisman from Su Wen's hand.

"Thank you, operator." Deng Sui didn't say much.

"The common people are leaving the palace now, so I won't waste your noble time." Su Wenqian smiled softly.

"Slow down, Counter." Deng Sui watched him leave, then took the peace talisman from Tuo Zhen and looked at it.

"Do you recognize this person?" Tuo Zhen was inevitably curious. "The fortune teller...could he be a fortune teller?"

It was the first time that Deng Sui heard someone address Su Wen like this, and he laughed out loud. "This Su Wen can be regarded as a scholar full of beauty. It's just that his ancestors passed down the ability of divination. But he is also a person with a peculiar personality. He speculates.

He doesn’t take a penny, and if he doesn’t speculate, even a mountain of gold can’t buy it. He only talks a few words.”

Speaking of this, Deng Sui's heart sank. He still remembered what he said to his grandfather back then.

When he was in Deng Mansion, he also expected the entanglement between himself and King Qinghe...

"It's getting late, noble man. Let's go to the dining room early." A worried voice pulled Deng Sui out of his memories.

"That's fine." Deng Sui thought to himself, apart from the Nuomi incident, I don't know if Yin Guiren has other plans. But no matter what, she will not allow such a thing to happen. After all, she is the daughter of the Deng family, even if she

The future of the family can be ignored, and the Deng family must not be put in danger. "Let's go."

Su Wen turned a few turns and arrived at the place he had agreed on in advance.

Sure enough, that familiar figure has been waiting here for a long time. "Your Highness."

"No need to be polite." Liu Qing raised his eyebrows: "Have you seen her?"

"Yes." Su Wen nodded: "The peace talisman has also been handed over to Deng Guiren."

"That's good." Liu Qing felt a little uneasy: "There's only so much I can do to help her. I don't know if she would still be willing to let me help if she knew it was my intention."

Su Wen remained silent, just listening blankly.

"How is it that you were reading Mr. Yin's face?" Liu Qing changed the topic and his tone became a bit serious.

"If I say that a mother is more valuable than her son, will Your Highness believe it?" Su Wen looked at him with a half-smile.

"Mother is more valuable than her son?" Liu Qing frowned: "I don't believe it!"

Su Wen couldn't help but said politely: "The common people resign."

Liu Qing stood still and did not move. The anger accumulated in his heart gradually became uncontrollable. "Humph, if you want a mother to be more valuable than her son, you have to see if you are lucky enough to do so."
