Eunuch Li couldn't hear the teasing in Yang Fan's mouth. He looked at Yang Fan deeply with cold eyes, turned around and left.
"Send it to Eunuch Li."
Yang Fan bowed slightly with an expressionless expression, knowing that he had completely offended Eunuch Li this time, but now, there seems to be no way to avoid it.
If it weren't for his cleverness, I'm afraid Hushan would be his burial place!
But even so, the other party still refused to give up and targeted him again and again. Do you really think that he is a good man and a woman with such a good temper?
At this moment, a figure walked out from the shadow of the palace wall not far away. It was Deputy General Manager Lin. He took in the whole scene just now and sneered at the corner of his mouth.
"You see, this is Eunuch Li! He loves power as much as his life! He is arbitrary! The reason why he lost in the competition for the palm print of Shang Yi Jian back then was because of this reason. In the end, he lost people's hearts and everyone betrayed their relatives. Unexpectedly, he is still like this today
Such a look!"
"Oh? There is such a thing?" Yang Fan raised his eyebrows...??.
"That's of course. However, don't underestimate Eunuch Li. After his defeat, he has not been beaten to death for so many years, and he can still come back. This shows his methods and character. You should be careful in the future."
Deputy General Manager Lin couldn't help but feel a little gloating about his misfortune.
However, Yang Fan's expression remained unchanged and he said calmly: "I heard that the financial power of Evergreen Palace has fallen into the hands of Deputy General Manager Lin. I'm really gratified! I just don't know what Eunuch Li thinks. Maybe Deputy General Manager Lin should be more careful.
Just be careful."
The financial power of the first palace involves food and daily life, carriages and horses, ceremonial guards, as well as all the utensils in the palace, and even the management of private treasury. The payment of monthly money to the palace residents is no small matter.
Originally, the financial power of Changqing Palace was controlled by Eunuch Li's cronies, Steward Song, but who would have thought that Steward Song would be executed for cheating, and now Deputy Manager Lin is picking the peaches.
What would Eunuch Li think?
What else could he think? He would only think that Deputy General Lin was deliberately seizing power!
Even the death of Manager Song may be considered by Eunuch Li as a frame-up by his surname Lin!
Thinking of this, Deputy General Manager Lin's face immediately turned gloomy, and he secretly regretted it.
Originally, the fact that he promised Concubine Chen to take charge of the palace supervision was enough to make people jealous. Now that he has the financial power in his hands, how could Eunuch Li give up with his character?
But who made him blinded by greed at that time, and only the word "power and wealth" was left in his eyes, and he accepted the matter in one fell swoop. Now he is filled with regret.
Even when I go out, I am cautious, for fear of being plotted by Eunuch Li.
"It takes fifty steps to laugh a hundred steps, no one of us can laugh at anyone else! Except for Eunuch Li, no one else can think of a better life for you and me. We don't believe you don't have this idea!"
Deputy General Manager Lin said viciously.
Yang Fan chuckled and said, "Deputy General Lin is joking. With my little arms and legs, I really can't get along with you." Please wish yourselves good luck!"
After that, he walked away without even looking at Deputy General Lin.
Wanting him to be the one in the spotlight is a joke!
Who doesn't know that Mr. Yang only likes to make sneak attacks and cut leeks secretly? Deputy General Manager Lin actually wants to use him as a gunman, which really blinds his good eyes.
"This bastard!"
Deputy General Manager Lin's eyes flashed coldly, and he clenched his fists loudly.
He never expected that Yang Fan would be so disrespectful to him, but thinking that Yang Fan had gained a lot of trust around Concubine Chen recently, he could only swallow his anger secretly.
"Let's just wait and see!"
He took a sharp look at Yang Fan's back, turned around and walked out of the palace without a trace.
Yang Fan had insulted two old eunuchs in succession, but Yang Fan didn't care much about it. He entered the palace on his own and went to see Concubine Chen with a happy face.
"It seems you did not disappoint me."
Concubine Chen glanced at Yang Fan and roughly guessed his purpose.
Yang Fan nodded: "Your Majesty, you will see me thousands of miles away! Deacon Tao did not miss his words. He has already arranged for me to join Dongchang. I also told him the date of the trip to Huayan Temple."
From now on, please call him Dongchang Yangchangyi!
"That's good. I hope the expressions of Concubine Xiao Shu and Queen Wang won't be too exciting."
Concubine Chen chuckled lightly and narrowed her eyes.
The people in Dongchang are just her preparations. She also has an important trump card, which is her father Chen Yinglong.
At that time, as long as her father arranges for a few experts to accompany him secretly, even if Huayan Temple is like a dragon's pond and a tiger's den, she can break in and see what tricks the other party is playing!
It would be great if we could take the opportunity to grab some clues!
Time has slowly arrived in the afternoon, the heat has not dissipated, and the weather is still hot and dry.
A group of guards at the foot of the imperial city stood there with expressionless faces, each wearing iron armor and holding a halberd, looking on guard with cold eyes.
"stop!"
At this moment, an old eunuch huddled his hands in his sleeves and walked over meekly. A guard immediately waved a halberd and stopped in front of him.
The heavy halberd was swung, making an astonishing buzzing sound as it broke through the air.
"who!"
The guard shouted loudly.
The old eunuch raised his head, revealing Eunuch Li's wrinkled face. He took out a waist badge from his sleeve with one hand and showed it.
"List!"
There was only one word on the waist tag, but the guard's expression changed. He immediately recognized that it belonged to Xuanwei Marquis Chen Yinglong.
Believe in the belt.
"This father-in-law doesn't know what he's doing?"
The Imperial Guards immediately showed pleasant expressions. After all, Chen Yinglong had already taken over the position of General of the Imperial Guard and was their direct and highest superior.
Someone comes with his belt, how dare these guards dare to be so presumptuous.
"Our family has something to do and we have to leave the palace."
"Father-in-law, please."
The guards looked at each other and without asking any questions, they immediately opened the side door. Eunuch Li nodded, stepped through the side door, and disappeared from the sight of the guards.
Not long after, Eunuch Li arrived at the Xuanwei Hou Mansion.
The study room of Xuanwei Hou Mansion.
Chen Yinglong was flipping through a book, while Eunuch Li was standing in front of him with his body bowed and his head lowered, with cold sweat dripping from his forehead.
"So, the incident on Mid-Autumn Night was probably made by Yuan'er?" Chen Yinglong's voice was without any ripples.
But people who are familiar with him know that he is on the verge of anger at this moment.
In fact, what happened after the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet was full of doubts. Even though everything pointed to Zhu Zhaolin, he still felt that there must be a hidden secret.
Eunuch Li still lowered his head: "I am not sure, but I am 70-80% sure that this matter should be related to Concubine Chen."
Chen Yinglong put down the book in his hand expressionlessly, raised his head and looked at him and said: "So, since she entered the palace, I asked you to take a good look at her. Is this how you do it?"
There was a pop.
Eunuch Li knelt straight on the ground, his head pressed tightly against the ground: "Old slave, you deserve to die!"
"Hmph. You always talk about damnation. Do you really think that I don't dare to kill you?"
Chen Yinglong looked at him with disdain and said, "When the time comes, I will not only kill you, but also kill all nine of your clans! I will also send your nephew and his family on the road! Don't think that I don't know that your nephew is the same person you used to be.
Born from an affair with your widowed sister-in-law before entering the palace!"
Eunuch Li's back suddenly broke out in cold sweat, and he shouted in fear: "Master Hou, please calm down, I realize my mistake!"
Chen Yinglong stood up and came to Eunuch Li. He stared at Eunuch Li with a pair of majestic red phoenix eyes, which made Eunuch Li frightened.
"Tell me, what else do you have? You would rather risk exposure and come to see me. You shouldn't just talk about these speculations, right?"
Eunuch Li breathed a sigh of relief temporarily and said: "What the Marquis said is absolutely true. When the old slave leaves the palace this time, he does have something important to report to the Marquis."
"Um?"
"Concubine Chen intends to get her hands on the rear position!"
Eunuch Li said firmly.
Chen Yinglong's face, which had never seen any waves, finally had a slight fluctuation in expression: "You said Yuan'er, she wants to be Queen? What a nonsense!"
He is the prince of the town, a hereditary and irreplaceable military figure!
It's easy to say that his daughter becoming a concubine is a sign of His Majesty's win over and respect for the lineage of the princes of the town. However, once his daughter ascends to the throne, it is almost equivalent to intervening in the battle for the inheritance of the throne!
If you are not careful, not only his Xuanwei Hou family, but also the other three princes and eight princes may be affected, and internal divisions and disputes may even occur!
Moreover, this is something Chen Yinglong, who has always valued rules and inheritance, cannot accept.
"How did you find out about this?"
Chen Yinglong naturally would not listen to one side or the other and asked directly.
"This matter has something to do with the incident on the Mid-Autumn Night. The Thirteenth Prince has actually longed for the Empress, but the Empress has been holding back until that night. The Empress sent Xiao Fanzi to lead the way, and the old slave suspected that it was intentional.
Luring the Thirteenth Prince into taking the bait, it almost caused chaos."
Eunuch Li said, "Right now, there are many rumors in the palace, saying that the Queen is indulging her parents and children, and is rebellious in the harem. Her moral character is not worthy of her. It is difficult to find out where the rumors come from, but the empress is adding fuel to the flames."
He paused and continued, "Recently, Concubine Xiao Shu suddenly asked the empress to go to Huayan Temple to fulfill her vows. It was suspected that she was instructed by the Queen. The empress still pretended not to know, and seemed to have a plan. I am afraid she planned to take the opportunity to get Concubine Xiao Shu and the Queen.
The Queen's handle, once she really gets something, it may be difficult to end the matter."
After speaking, he raised the information he had recently collected and organized above his head and handed it to Chen Yinglong.
"Let the Marquis make a decision on this matter."
Then Eunuch Li's head hit the ground heavily.
"Yuan'er, why are you doing such a treasonous thing? Isn't it good for An Xin to be your concubine? You have to get involved in the back position! It seems that after studying Taoism for these years, you have completely lost your respect for the imperial power.
Awe!”
"The laws of Taoism are indeed the harm of our great Ming Dynasty!"
After Chen Yinglong read it, he was silent for a long time, with a look of determination flashing in his eyes: "In this case, don't blame me for being ruthless as a father. I cannot betray His Majesty's trust and mess up the rules and regulations of the court just because of you.
The inheritance of the Hou Mansion!"
boom.
With a wave of his hand, a medicine bottle fell to the ground, and a pill rolled down in front of Eunuch Li.
"Take it back and let Yuan'er take it. From now on, let her be a concubine in the palace with peace of mind!"
"Old slave, I obey."
He held the elixir in both hands, bowed and exited.
The name of the elixir - Mie Dao.
Cutting off the interaction between heaven and man, degenerating the soul in the body, and crushing the Taoist magic power is to destroy the Tao!
On the way back to the palace, Eunuch Li's eyes flashed, and there was a hint of indifference in his eyes: "My Lady, from now on you can be your concubine with peace of mind. Let me leave the Evergreen Palace to my old slave to take care of it."
