Just as Eunuch Bai was about to call out to the Taiqing Palace, the emperor turned to Gu Qing and said with a smile: "I have heard about my aunt for a long time, but I have never seen you. I missed you every time you came to the palace because I was busy with business."
He smiled apologetically, "Since we met today and we are all members of the same family, we should have a good time together."
He suggested not to leave at noon today.
"Bai Xi'er." The emperor greeted.
Eunuch Bai leaned over and said, "Bai Xi'er is here."
"I have ordered the imperial dining room to bring out the last of my cooking skills. There will be a banquet in the imperial garden at noon today. I want to host a banquet to entertain my aunt." The emperor said grandly.
Bai Xier hesitated for a moment, then bowed her head and agreed.
Then Bai Xier called to the young eunuchs and quickly carried the emperor to the Taiqing Palace.
Eunuch Bai extended his hand to Lu Bai and asked Lu Bai to go to Taiqing Hall.
Lu Bai asked Eunuch Bai to take a few steps ahead. He stayed behind and said to Gu Qinghuan: "It seems that this emperor is not serious."
Gu Qinghuan rolled her eyes at Lu Bai, "You sound serious."
Lu Bai felt that one dishonest person was enough, "You have to guard against this guy."
Lu Qinghuan couldn't help but feel happy. In the whole world, even if he didn't take the emperor seriously, he was probably the only one who dared to use this term to refer to him. Lu Bai not only didn't take the emperor seriously, but also didn't put the gods in the sky.
In the eyes of a fanatic.
"Take it easy, don't cause trouble." Gu Qinghuan reminded Lu Bai.
She knew very well what Lu Bai was like.
Sometimes I like to nip harm in the bud, but this is the emperor. It is easy to kill one person, but it will not end well later.
Lu Bai put down his hand and said, "Don't worry, am I that naive?"
Gu Qinghuan looked at him and nodded slowly.
Lu Bai was unhappy now. He stretched out his hand and touched Gu Qinghuang's chin, "You should know whether I am childish or not. Who turned me into a man?"
"roll!"
Lu Qinghuan uttered a word gracefully, and just as he was about to kick him out, Lu Bai was already running away.
Just as a few palace maids turned around, Lu Qinghuan quickly adjusted her clothes and makeup and walked in the opposite direction.
Lu Bai turned a corner and saw Eunuch Bai.
He felt uncomfortable for a while, fearing that Eunuch Bai would discover something, and then he felt that it was impossible. He had specifically checked when they were intimate just now, and there was no one paying attention around him, so Lu Bai walked over with confidence, "Old Bai, let's go."
Eunuch Bai hurriedly apologized and led the way, "Master Lu, Miss Gu Si is the emperor's biological aunt, but we only met her when we were children. I probably don't even remember her now. Today's lunch is a good time to catch up on old times."
Lu Bai put his hands on Eunuch Bai's shoulders, "Old Bai, please stop pretending. What relationship do we have?"
Eunuch Bai stiffened, "Pretending? Where do you start talking about this, Mr. Lu?"
Lu Bai smiled "hehe" and lowered his voice: "What kind of aunt, do you think I investigated the case for nothing yesterday? Let me ask you, if Liu Yan was not the emperor's grandfather, why did the emperor lock him up in Dongchang and wait for him?
?”
He made a gesture of wiping his neck, "If someone was pretending to be my grandpa, I would have asked him to meet my biological grandpa."
Eunuch Bai laughed awkwardly, "Master Lu is really good at joking. Don't listen to Liu Yan's nonsense. He is not the emperor's grandfather. The emperor is locking him up to find out who is behind the scenes. As for treating him kindly, it is because the emperor... compare
Respect the old and love the young.”
Eunuch Bai didn't believe what he said, so he spoke with a very guilty conscience.
Lu Bai guessed that he was thinking of the reason.
"Old Bai, you are not interesting enough. Who are you trying to fool?" Lu Bai was now arm in arm with Eunuch Bai. A group of eunuchs happened to be passing by. Seeing them like this, his eyes were stunned. After being stunned, he lowered his head and faintly
Want to laugh.
Lu Bai hurriedly explained to them, "Don't get me wrong, we are brothers."
He heard that eunuchs like eating and fencing. Although the sword handle is missing, it does not prevent them from exchanging experiences.
In order to avoid misunderstanding, Lu Bai waved his hand hastily.
The group of eunuchs couldn't hold back their laughter.
Eunuch Bai immediately turned cold and said, "Why are you laughing? If you laugh again, you will go to the clothes washing department to wash clothes."
The group of eunuchs were so frightened that they immediately stopped talking and did not dare to breathe.
Eunuch Bai turned around and said to Lu Bai with a smile: "Master Lu, I really didn't deceive you."
"You are so stubborn, aren't you? I'm not a brother enough. Don't you see what I do? As the commander of the Jin Yiwei, the best thing is to handle cases. With the way you locked up the old man and waited on him, how can you find out who was behind the scenes?" Lu Bairang
He stopped hiding it, "I remember you were honest with me when you first came here, why are you hiding it now?"
Without waiting for Eunuch Bai to speak, Lu Bai said again: "I understand, isn't it because you are afraid that if I know that the Queen Mother and the Emperor are not biological, she will not treat me as one of the Emperor's own? Don't worry. Besides, look at King Luo.
If he is not the queen's biological son, why don't I still regard him as my nephew? So, don't be restrained and say it boldly. I am thick-skinned. What I believe in is that as long as there is a social gibberish syndrome, everyone in the world will be my nephew."
Eunuch Bai half-opened his mouth and didn't know what to say for a moment. This was the first time he saw Lu Bai being so good at talking.
After a long while, when Lu Bai stopped talking, he smiled bitterly, "Since that's all we have to say, let me tell the truth. Mr. Lu, this Liu Yan is indeed not the emperor's grandfather. The reason why he is treated well by the emperor is
One is because Liu Cuilian once saved the Supreme Emperor."
Eunuch Bai saw Lu Bai's confused face and reminded him: "On that time when the palace maid assassinated the emperor twenty years ago, fortunately the queen at that time led the palace maids to rescue him. Otherwise, the emperor would have..."
Eunuch Bai stopped and continued: "Liu Cuilian is the emperor's savior, and naturally he is also the emperor's benefactor. There is nothing wrong with the emperor treating Liu Yan kindly."
Lu Bai felt that it made sense, almost enough, "What about the second one?"
There are two reasons for this.
"Secondly, Liu Cuilian is the maid beside the Queen Mother. She is mainly responsible for taking care of the Emperor. Although she is not a wet nurse, she is still very important. The Emperor naturally wants to be kind to Liu Yan." Eunuch Bai said.
Seeing Lu Bai thinking deeply, he smiled kindly, "Master Lu, it's because of this that the emperor treats Liu Yan like this. Don't think too much. I think Liu Yan's visit to Beijing must be behind the scenes.
Someone ordered him to sow discord between the Emperor and the Queen Mother."
As they were talking, they were almost at the entrance of Taiqing Palace. In vain, the eunuch hurriedly took off the arm Lu Bai was holding on his back. He smiled apologetically and asked Lu Bai to wait outside. He then slipped into Taiqing Palace to ask for instructions from the emperor.
Already.
Lu Bai looked at his back with a thoughtful look on his face.
Something is wrong, something is so wrong.
Putting aside how Liu Cuilian died, it is very wrong to mention that the water leakage that Eunuch Bai said was true. If it is true as Eunuch Bai said, the Queen Mother must know this, then the Queen Mother should let Lu Bai investigate the Yaoyan case.
Lu Bai started from his infancy, why did he need to find Liu Yan, and why did the emperor hide Liu Yan from the Queen Mother?
What's more, when Lu Bai received this case, he asked Gu Qinghuan if the emperor was the Queen Mother's biological son. Gu Qinghuan gave Lu Bai an answer at that time: "Is this important?"
Although this sentence is vague, the point is very clear. The emperor is not the biological son of the Queen Mother.
There was no need for Gu Qinghuan to hide it from him. After all, they were already in an improper relationship. And the Queen Mother had no need to hide it from Gu Qinghuan, let alone blur her biological son into something other than her biological son.
"So..." Lu Bai's eyes became firm, "Eunuch Bai is lying."
Just when Lu Bai thought of this, he suddenly heard voices coming from the Taiqing Palace. Although the people in the palace had tried their best to lower their voices, they still heard some words intermittently, "Overall situation", "Don't be willful", "Please Mr. Lu", "
Words like "a few kind words", "a great helper", "a great success", etc. cannot be connected into sentences and cannot be understood clearly.
Lu Bai was making random guesses when he heard the footsteps of Eunuch Bai coming from the Taiqing Palace. He shook his head and shook off these useless thoughts.
Eunuch Bai appeared at the door, smiling kindly: "Master Lu, please."
Lu Bai followed him in and nodded to the emperor.
The emperor sat on the dragon chair and said with a smile: "Ambassador Lu Zhen, we are all one family. Don't go back later and enjoy lunch with me."
Lu Bai raised his eyebrows, "Good guy, I didn't count him just now."
He estimated that if Eunuch Bai hadn't persuaded him just now, the emperor would have abandoned him.
Lu Bai thought of this and raised his head to look at Eunuch Bai. This Eunuch Bai had an extraordinary status. He was able to persuade the emperor.
"Lord Lu?" Eunuch Bai reminded Lu Bai that the emperor was still waiting for his reply.
Lu Bai returned the greeting, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Only then did the emperor change his position on the dragon chair with satisfaction, "I heard that Ambassador Lu Zhen was investigating the case of Yaoyan on the orders of his mother. How is the case being investigated now?"
Lu Baigang was about to answer when he saw the eunuch Bai responding first: "Back to the emperor, Mr. Lu investigated Tongdong Factory, but not much in West Factory. Liu Yan even admitted that he was ordered by an old eunuch who had retired and returned to his hometown.
.”
He added, "Two factories and one guard have investigated this result. The case has been finalized. Liu Yan believed the rumors and actually deceived the emperor. How to deal with it? Your Majesty, you should make a decision now. As for the investigation
I won’t bother anyone else as to who is behind the scenes, let me investigate it myself, and I will definitely get to the bottom of it for the Emperor.”
Lu Bai was confused. Eunuch Bai obviously didn't want him to speak and wanted to close the case as soon as possible.
However, if Lu Bai was asked to say anything, he really couldn't say anything.
He couldn't use the Queen Mother's words to support it, saying that your mother said that you were not his biological son. That would be too stupid. And Liu Yan's confession yesterday was completely consistent with what Eunuch Bai had just said.
In this case, Lu Bai was not prepared to talk to him. Anyway, if he wanted to find out who was behind the scenes, he had to start from the very beginning.
Unexpectedly, the emperor slapped the dragon chair with his hand and stood up in an instant, "After all, I am the emperor, and you are the emperor!"
Eunuch Bai shivered and knelt on the ground, "I don't dare, I just want to share the emperor's worries..."
"Shut up!" the emperor scolded angrily, "I'm not so comatose that I can't do anything. I don't need you to worry about me. I am the Supreme Being. To be honest, you are just a slave! Remember, don't
You think you have gained my trust and you will be lawless! If I am unhappy, I will kill all nine of your tribes!"
Eunuch Bai knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing until his head was broken on the ground.
Lu Bai stood nearby and was confused, what kind of script was this... what was he doing, killing the chicken to scare the monkeys, making Eunuch Bai panic, and then achieving the purpose of establishing authority over him?
That's too much to underestimate him, Lu Bai.
After all, he, Lu Bai, is about to enter the Ascension Realm.
Why is that so moody?
It's also possible that Eunuch Bai's conversation just now was a little bit about making decisions for the emperor.
Just when Lu Bai was thinking about it, the emperor sat back on the dragon chair, waved his hand impatiently, and asked Eunuch Bai to stand aside, and then said to Lu Bai: "According to the investigation of the two factories, what Liu Yan said
pretty close."
Eunuch Bai shouted, "Your Majesty!"
Lu Bai was shocked.
This is admission, then his case...
The emperor had a memorial in his hand. He threw it in front of Eunuch Bai and told him to shut up. He then extended his two thumbs for Lu Bai to see.
Lu Bai glanced at it and saw that both thumbs were shorter than ordinary people. They were similar to Liu Yan's thumbs. When the fingers were put together, the thumbs were at the third knuckle of the index finger.
The emperor reassured Lu Bai, "No matter whether I am born of a queen or not, the queen is still my queen."
This is true.
This is similar to the fact that King Luo was born to a palace maid, and because his birth mother's status was too humble, he could only recognize the Queen as his mother.
Not only in this deep palace, but also in the homes of officials outside, concubines have to call their aunts and mothers. When they meet their biological mothers for a very short time, they have to call them xiaoniang or other titles.
"I also found out that it was my father who asked my mother to take me away from my biological mother." The emperor sighed and chuckled, "So I have a very good relationship with my mother and no one can instigate it. Ambassador Lu Zhen can rest assured
, tear it off and we will still be a family."
The emperor paused and then said: "I have to thank the person behind this. If it weren't for his instigation, I wouldn't know the inside story. I don't know my biological mother. I don't appreciate my biological mother's kindness. If a person doesn't appreciate his biological mother's kindness,
How is it different from livestock?”
Lu Bai nodded, "That's right."
If a person doesn't remember the kindness of his birth mother, what's the difference between him and an animal? So he has reason to seek revenge from the Supreme Emperor in the future.
The emperor continued: "Because he was so self-defeating, there is no need to bother to find out who was behind this for the time being. The key now is to find out how Liu Cuilian and Liu's mother died..."
He turned to look at Lu Bai, "Chief Lu Zhen, you are good at solving cases and your mother can trust you, so I will leave this murder case of Mother Liu to you."
Lu Bai nodded, "I will definitely get to the bottom of this."
He muttered in his heart at the same time, it was so strange that he stopped investigating for such a reason? How could he allow someone else to sleep soundly on the side of the bed? If someone was so provocative, Lu Bai would definitely have to rescue this person in order to eliminate the scourge.
Not yet.
The emperor just gave up?
There is something weird.
What's also weird is that Eunuch Bai and the Emperor, one wants to cover up, and the other tells it bluntly, and they don't know what kind of medicine is sold in this gourd.
The more Lu Bai thought about it, the more confused he became.
"And this arson case..." The emperor had a headache when he mentioned this case.
He massaged his forehead with his right hand, "Last year there was a fire, and this year there is another fire... There must be a reason for the continuous fires. Ambassador Lu Zhen, since you want to investigate Liu's mother's murder case in the palace, you should also investigate this case."
