Chapter 210 Sapphire's Fear
Blue Mansion.
In the main hall.
After listening to Hu Fei's words, Lan Yu was completely stunned on the chair. She could not care about the grudges between herself and Hu Fei. Her heart was mixed with fear and self-blame.
A dozen generals in the courtyard looked at Lan Yu sitting blankly on a chair from a distance. They didn't know what was going on, and they all looked anxious.
"Why are you telling me this?"
After Lan Yu pondered for a long time, she turned to look at Hu Fei and asked in confusion.
He didn't know why Hu Fei wanted to help him. He must know that once these things were brought to His Majesty, no matter what kind of punishment His Highness the Crown Prince would receive, he would definitely not survive.
And he offended Hu Fei not long ago, so he couldn't figure out what Hu Fei wanted.
"It's nothing, I just don't want the Ming Dynasty to lose a brave and capable general. That's all. You don't have to be grateful. As for whether you can understand the truth, it depends on yourself."
Hu Fei curled his lips and said lightly.
Lan Yu looked at Hu Fei, full of doubts in his heart, because the Hu Fei at this time was completely different from the Hu Fei he knew.
"In addition, I would like to remind you that no matter who you support, you must understand that you are a minister of the Ming Dynasty. Since His Majesty is still in power and thinks highly of you, you should repay your kindness and do not rely on favors.
Arrogance, taking credit and being arrogant, as the saying goes, if you don't restrain yourself, sooner or later you will harm others and yourself, and more people will die because of you. I hope you take care of yourself."
As Hu Fei spoke, he slowly stood up and prepared to leave.
He has said everything that needs to be said. Whether it is for Zhu Biao, Lan Yu, or Zhu Yuanzhang and Daming, he has done everything he can.
"Thank you Mr. Hu! I have offended you many times before, and I hope Mr. Hu will forgive me!"
"If...if His Majesty asks about this matter, I hope Mr. Hu..."
Seeing that Hu Fei was about to leave, Lan Yu hurriedly stood up, bowed her hands and bowed, thanking her, but stopped talking.
"Don't worry, I won't mention the words I just said to the second person, but you don't have to worry. If my guess is correct, His Majesty will not mention this matter again. Not only will he not punish you or me, he will also
I'll find a way to appease you, after all, the general has returned to the capital after having made great achievements."
"If it goes as I expected, it won't take long before you will be awarded a title and promoted to Marquis of Yongchang, which means that the Ming Dynasty will always be prosperous!"
Hu Fei glanced at Lan Yu, turned around and walked out as he spoke.
"Master Hu, walk slowly."
After listening to Hu Fei's words, Lan Yu was confused and full of doubts, but she still handed him over.
"Stay."
Hu Fei said nothing, walked through the dozen generals with Chundie without looking back, and left the Lan Mansion.
Lan Yu was stunned in the main hall, looking at Hu Fei's leaving figure, her expression becoming more and more solemn.
As Hu Fei left, more than a dozen generals walked into the hall one after another, looking at Lan Yu in confusion, not understanding what Lan Yu and Hu Fei had just said.
"From now on, no one is allowed to mention what happened today. Violators will be punished by military law!"
Lan Yu glanced at everyone and said in a deep voice.
Everyone was stunned for a moment, looked at each other, and hurriedly raised their hands in response.
At this moment, a soldier led someone quickly into the main hall from outside.
"Tell the general that someone is coming from the East Palace."
As soon as Xiaobing walked in, he hurriedly shouted.
Hearing the voice, everyone in the hall turned to look at the door. They saw the strange visitor at a glance, and then saw the attire of the man and confirmed that he was from the East Palace.
"General, His Highness the Crown Prince has something to say."
The man cupped his hands towards Lan Yu and said respectfully.
Lan Yu understood and immediately ordered everyone to retreat.
After everyone left, the man slowly came to Lan Yu's side.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that if His Majesty asks the General about what happened outside the palace gate today, the General should not involve Hu Fei in it and just take everything on his own. Don't make the matter a big deal. If Your Majesty blames him, His Highness the Crown Prince will find a way.
Mediate between them.”
The man lowered his head and said with cupped hands.
As soon as he finished speaking, Lan Yu couldn't help but feel shocked. She remembered what Hu Fei had just said, and suddenly understood everything.
"Please tell His Highness the Crown Prince, the general will understand."
Lan Yu clasped her fists and said seriously.
The man nodded, said nothing more, and said goodbye to Lan Yu and left Lan Mansion.
However, shortly after that man left, his subordinates came again to report that the Governor Li Wenzhong had arrived at the door of the mansion.
Lan Yu was stunned for a moment and hurriedly went out to greet him.
Soon, Lan Yu returned to the main hall with Li Wenzhong who suddenly came to the door.
As the Grand Governor of the Metropolitan Governor's Office, Li Wenzhong can be said to be Lan Yu's immediate superior. Although they have a good relationship with each other, he does not dare to neglect him. However, he is a little curious and can't figure out why Li Wenzhong suddenly came to visit.
"I heard that you and Hu Fei had a conflict outside the palace today?"
After sitting down, Li Wenzhong turned to look at Lan Yu and asked slowly.
After listening to Li Wenzhong's words, Lan Yu was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood the reason for Li Wenzhong's visit today, but he couldn't figure out that Hu Fei was just an eighth-grade scholar in the governor's mansion. As a governor, how could he do it for an eighth-grade governor?
Pinxiaoguan personally asked about this matter?
"Does the governor know?"
"It is true that this happened because one of the general's subordinates was careless at that time and almost bumped into Hu Fei's men, which caused an unnecessary conflict. Unexpectedly, even the governor was alarmed, and I asked the governor to forgive me.
.”
Lan Yu cupped her hands and said apologetically.
"I don't want to know the specific reason. I just want to tell you that if His Majesty ever gets involved in this matter, just take all the blame and don't implicate Hu Fei."
"If Your Majesty blames you, I will make peace with you and won't let you be punished too much."
Li Wenzhong waved his hand, looked at Lan Yu, and said seriously.
After hearing Li Wenzhong's words, Lan Yu couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, her eyes full of surprise.
"I understand, Commander, please rest assured."
After coming back to her senses, Lan Yu hurriedly replied respectfully.
"Well, okay, there's nothing else to do, so I'll leave first."
Li Wenzhong nodded, then stood up, said something casually, turned around and walked out.
"Captain, walk slowly."
Seeing that Li Wenzhong was leaving so soon, Lan Yu hurriedly sent him off, but Li Wenzhong waved his hand to stop Lan Yu and quickly left the Lan Mansion.
Lan Yu stood stunned at the door of the main hall with a solemn expression.
Only now did he realize that Hu Fei was not simple. First, King Yan came forward to protect him, and then the East Palace sent someone to bring the prince's instructions. When he thought that everything was over, he did not expect that even Li Wenzhong came to take his place in person.
Hu Fei spoke.
Looking at the capital, apart from Hu Fei, there seems to be no other person who can make these three people speak for him at the same time.
After thinking about this, Lan Yu couldn't help but start to feel scared. Fortunately, she didn't make the matter a big deal when she was outside the palace gate today, otherwise she might have lost her life.
But at this time, he couldn't help but think of the last words Hu Fei said when he left, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
...
The next day.
The New Year is coming.
Early in the morning, someone from the palace went to Lan Mansion to deliver the message that Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to summon Lan Yu.
Lan Yu was flattered and did not expect that His Majesty would personally summon him on the New Year's Day, so he hurried out of the house and entered the palace to pay his respects.
Royal Palace.
The Hall of Nourishing Heart.
"Your Majesty, General Lan Yulan has arrived."
Pang Yuhai quickly walked into the hall, bowed respectfully to Zhu Yuanzhang, and said slowly.
"Xuan!"
Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and said with a smile, seemingly in a good mood.
Soon, Lan Yu slowly walked into the hall under the leadership of Pang Yuhai.
"The humble minister Lan Yu, please see your majesty."
Lan Yu walked closer, bowed respectfully and said.
"Get down quickly."
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Lan Yu, raised his hand, and said with a smile.
After Lan Yu thanked him, she stood up slowly. Looking at Zhu Yuanzhang who was in a good mood, she felt relieved, but she was still a little uneasy, worried that Zhu Yuanzhang had summoned him into the palace because of what happened outside the palace gate yesterday.
"It's been a few days since Lan Qing returned to Beijing. How is it? Is everything going well at home?"
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Lan Yu and asked slowly with a smile.
"Your Majesty, everything is well. Your Majesty is thinking of you."
Lan Yu cupped her hands and said respectfully.
The more polite Zhu Yuanzhang was, the less sure he felt. His heart was pounding, and cold sweat gradually broke out on his forehead...
