15, the 15th day of Chongxi

Han Chan walked out the door with a cold face, and left without even looking at the two people outside the door.

His steps were long and fast, and it was obvious that the discussion was not completed and he left unhappy.

After the encounter in the dream, Ye Yunting somewhat guessed Han Chan's purpose of coming here. However, what puzzled him was what exactly did Han Chan want to do to win over King Yong'an?

Han Chan was the emperor's teacher. Li Zong respected this teacher very much. Not only did he allow him to go to court without wearing court clothes, he did not even need to kneel when he met the emperor. It is said that Li Zong was just an inconspicuous prince.

At that time, it was Han Chan who was teaching him. Later, the prince was assassinated and Li Zong inherited the throne, so he respected Han Chan as his Taifu.

Before that, Han Chan was just an unknown gentleman in the East Palace.

It stands to reason that the emperor respects him and respects him, which is why Han Chan has the power and status he has today. He and the emperor should be in the same boat.

However, he secretly attracted Li Fengqi and seemed to want to go against the emperor.

Ye Yunting couldn't figure out the key, but he always felt that it was not simple.

He kept his doubts in his mind and just opened the door and entered the house.

In the back room, Li Fengqi was half leaning on the head of the bed, his expression not very good.

Ye Yunting thought for a moment, poured him a glass of water, and said softly: "The master has left. I can see on his face that he doesn't seem very happy."

"Of course he is unhappy." Li Fengqi snorted, took the tea and drank it all in one gulp, smiling a little coldly: "There will be many unhappy things in the future, he will have to get used to it."

After saying that, his eyes were fixed on the teacup in his hand, and there was a perhaps unknown alienation and coldness about him.

Ye Yunting looked at it, always feeling that although he was in front of him, he was still far away. In these days, the two of them had gone from trial to trust, and had been supported by their backs until they reached this point. He had never seen the other party look like this.

.

Ye Yunting thought to himself that Han Chan's unhappiness was written on his face, but Li Fengqi's unhappiness was hidden in his heart.

He didn't know what the two talked about specifically, and he didn't dare to ask rashly. He only said: "The master came today and he didn't seem too surprised that my condition has improved."

Han Chan arrived so suddenly that he didn't even have time to pretend.

"He knew what he was doing." Li Fengqi said, "The people around Li Zong all have their own thoughts. They may not have noticed your actions these days, but they just didn't take it seriously and wanted to watch a show."

Han Chan and Cui Xi are both first-class smart people, with a dark city and cunning methods. But smart people have one characteristic, that is, they always think they have everything under control.

In their eyes, Ye Yunting was just an unpopular legitimate son in the Duke of Qi's palace. He had no powerful wife and no biological father to protect him. It is said that Ye Zhili did not even let him go to school, except for his extraordinarily outstanding appearance.

It doesn't look threatening at all.

Even if they make some small moves, they won't make waves. They just watch the show. They all have their own plans. Even if Ye Yunting really does something, the emperor will still be there to support him if the sky falls. It won't affect their plans.

There was a hint of ridicule in Li Fengqi's eyes. He had warned Li Zong a long time ago, asking him to be wary of these two people and not to be blinded by the old friendship.

Although Han Chan was Li Zong's mentor, he had a cold nature and a deep mind; Cui Xi was named Li Zong's companion, but he flattered his superiors and bullied his subordinates, and his methods were vicious.

No matter which one of them, they are not 100% loyal to Li Zong.

However, Li Zong didn't listen to what he said. Instead, he was provoked by Han Chan and attacked him.

People's hearts are unpredictable, that's all.

"My poison has been temporarily suppressed, the letter has been sent, and my mother is on her way back to Beijing." Li Fengqi patted the back of Ye Yunting's hand comfortingly, and said in a calm voice: "Don't worry too much, they will be running around in a few days.

."

"I just want to make you suffer for a few more days." He looked at Ye Yunting with a gentle expression. Even though Ye Yunting didn't show any signs of it, he seemed to see through the slight treatment and grievance he had suffered.

Ye Yunting felt the apology and concern in his eyes, and his heart trembled. He suddenly moved his eyes away and smiled uncomfortably: "These are not grievances." After all, he had grown up in the Duke's mansion, and the warmth and warmth he had experienced in human relationships were real.

Too many. My father’s deliberate neglect, my stepmother’s undisguised disgust, and even the servants’ disdain and embarrassment.

For him, it has become routine.

In comparison, Han Chan's ignorance today was nothing at all.

Ye Yunting understood a truth at a very young age: don't care about people who don't care about you at all.

He thought that he had seen everything clearly over the years, and that he had indeed managed to not listen, ask, or care. But when he met Li Fengqi's apologetic and concerned eyes, he still looked away in embarrassment.

No one is born with the temperament of a Clay Bodhisattva.

It's just a matter of survival.

Li Fengqi seemed to have seen something, but he did not mention it again, but changed the topic and said: "Next time Ji Lian goes out of the house, ask him to prepare a wheelchair for me. Also notify the fifth watch and ask him to recruit all the people.

, waiting in secret."

Ye Yunting calmed down his emotions, lowered his eyes and said: "Okay."

***

After Han Chan came once, it passed peacefully for another four or five days.

During this period, Li Fengqi's health had improved greatly. Although his legs were still unable to move, his body had become stronger day by day, and his overall complexion was the same as before.

The falcon that went out to deliver the message had not returned yet, and the remaining half-cage rabbits had been eaten and only two or three were left.

Ye Yunting entered the room with the stewed hot rabbit soup, and saw him sitting by the bed, quietly wiping the snow-whistling knife. The snow-white blade reflected a pair of murderous eyes in the dim room.

The aloof King Yong'an from before is back.

He paused for a moment before knocking on the door to remind the other party of his arrival.

Li Fengqi came to his senses, put away the knife and looked at him, as if the murderous intention just now was just Ye Yunting's illusion.

"coming?"

He patted his side and said, "I happen to have something to discuss with you."

Ye Yunting placed the soup on the small table beside the bed and waited quietly for him to speak.

Just listen to him say: "The news came at five o'clock that mother will arrive in Beijing in the evening."

Ye Yunting's heart moved: "In that palace..."

"Li Zong will definitely take action." Li Fengqi flicked the blade with his fingers, and the thick long sword made a buzzing sound: "I was the only one in the house before, and I was poisoned and bedridden. He sent his servants away, so naturally he wanted to do something.

I just do whatever I want and act without any scruples. But it will be different when my mother comes back."

The old princess was a first-class imperial concubine. Although the Niyang Shen family was in decline, there were still three thousand people in ruins.

Li Zong was also worried about his reputation, so he would never let the old princess see the current situation in the palace and take advantage of it.

Therefore, after he learned the news, he would definitely respond. Either the old princess would not be able to return to Beijing, or he would be speechless.

In order to prevent Li Zong from knowing the news in advance and attacking the old princess, Li Fengqi called five o'clock early to send someone to escort her all the way, and specially drove Jian Cong to take a small road. Now the old princess and her entourage can arrive in Beijing in the evening, and they are blocking the old princess from returning to Beijing.

The plan no longer works.

Then, Li Zong has only one last option left.

Ye Yunting's expression was gloomy, and he was slightly worried: "Then he will definitely attack the prince today."

Li Fengqi laughed when he heard this: "You are very worried about me, why don't you worry about yourself?"

Ye Yunting's eyelashes trembled, but he didn't look worried. He said clearly: "I was chosen by Si Tiantai to celebrate the prince's birthday. In the eyes of the old princess, I am equivalent to the emperor's party. My words, the old princess will not

Xin. Naturally, there is no threat."

Therefore, Li Zong will definitely put all his thoughts on Li Fengqi.

"You are right." Li Fengqi smiled: "So we have to seize the opportunity."

He patted the back of Ye Yunting's hand and said in a deep voice: "You and Ji Lian get ready, we will leave the house immediately."

At this time, in the palace.

Li Zong paced the hall with his hands behind his back: "Didn't I tell you to block the news? How did the news reach Rongyang?! It just reached Rongyang. People were almost in Beijing, and you didn't realize it?!

"

Cui Xi raised his sleeves to cover the slightly curved corners of his lips, glanced at Han Chan who was sitting quietly, and advised him: "Your Majesty, please calm down. Maybe it was a moment of negligence on the part of the Taifu's subordinates."

The Shence Army only focused on the Yong'an Palace, but it was Han Chan's people who were responsible for cutting off communications at various gateways.

Cui Xi and Han Chan had been separated for a long time, and now seeing the emperor's anger, he naturally did not hesitate to add more fuel to the fire.

"The Taifu has great wisdom and plans. He must have a way to deal with it. Why hide it anymore? Why not relieve His Majesty's worries as soon as possible."

Han Chan glanced at him coldly, looked at the angry emperor, and said softly: "I remember telling your Majesty that it is useless to panic when something happens. You should first think of ways to deal with it."

Li Zong, who was pacing, paused, and subconsciously calmed down his anxious expression. He looked at Han Chan for a moment, then lifted up his clothes with a slight lack of energy, sat down opposite Han Chan, took a sip of cool tea on the table

He said: "Teacher is right."

He lowered his head slightly, as if listening attentively, with an expression full of dependence and trust.

"The people below are not doing well, and I will deal with them later." Han Chan lifted the teapot with one hand, rolled up his wide sleeves with the other, and poured a cup of hot tea for Li Zong.

In the mist of water, he said slowly: "The relationship between King Yong'an and the old princess is not close. Even if the old princess comes back, she may not do anything."

"But they have been mother and son for so many years..." Li Zong hesitated.

"So just in case, we're telling King Yong'an that he can't speak for the time being." Han Chan lowered his eyes, picked up the tea and took a sip unhurriedly: "King Yong'an was poisoned and was in bed. His Majesty was worried about his condition and sent him

The medical officer is on duty every day to take care of you. Isn't this a sign of your majesty's kindness? As for the deserted palace, there were servants in the palace who colluded with assassins. Your Majesty was worried about the safety of the prince, so he specially dispatched maids from the palace to take care of him. If the old princess knew about it, she would only be grateful to your majesty.

."

After he finished speaking, he smiled softly: "Besides, what if the old princess is back? She will stay in Northern Xinjiang for sure, so why does your Majesty need to care about these details anymore."

"Sure enough, the teacher's plan is better!" After Li Zong heard what he said, he put his hands on his hands and laughed. He stood up and took two steps confidently: "As long as Zhu Wen turns against me, I can justifiably kill the Xuanjia Army.

.Even if I order Li Fengqi to be killed by then, no one in the world will dare to blame me!"

Han Chan chuckled: "What your Majesty said is absolutely true."

Li Zong's expression was no longer anxious, his eyebrows relaxed, and he ordered with a relaxed expression: "Cui Xi, take people to decorate the Prince Yong'an Palace, and then select a few smart people to serve the Prince in the Palace."

"Yes." Cui Xi bowed and saluted, followed the order and retreated.

Before leaving, he raised his eyes and saw Han Chan holding a cup of hot tea. The mist of water vapor blurred his face, making him look even more unpredictable. But Li Zong didn't realize it. He sat down happily and went to talk to him again.

When Han Chan spoke, she called her "teacher" with sincerity and sincerity.
