When the wine was almost drunk, Chai Yan asked about Duanmu Yuanwei's situation. He said that he was actually very nervous and worried that he would be too nervous when meeting Lord Duanmu tomorrow and leave a bad impression on the superior.
However, the three of them, Xia Qi, spoke loudly together, telling Chai Yan to rest assured, saying that Lord Duanmu was a very good man, not only fair and honest, but also knowledgeable and good at assigning people, and he was definitely a first-class good official.
After patiently listening to Xia Qi and the others talking to each other for a long time, Chai Yan finally knew what he was doing. In the eyes of the three of them, the deputy commander Duanmu Yuanwei was a perfect person without any flaws!
While Xia Qi and the other three changed the subject to official business, Chai Yan couldn't help but murmur in his heart...
Earlier, the moment Chai Yan stepped into the Wude Si Yamen, Shangguan Peining exclaimed in admiration and bluntly said that the smell of blood in Wude Si was very strong. She was very satisfied and very happy!
Therefore, the more Xia Qi and the others praised Duanmu Yuanwei for being perfect, the more Chai Yan became wary...
Where in this world can there be perfect people?
Even if there is, it can't exist in a place like Wudesi!
After having enough wine and food, Chai Yan paid the bill readily, and the four of them left the Huibin Building talking and laughing and walked towards Wudesi.
-----------------------
That night, inside the palace.
The palace is the center of the country and the residence of the emperor.
The buildings in the palace are decorated with carved and painted beams, purple pillars and golden beams. It can be said that it is extremely rich and luxurious, but at its core it is solemn and solemn!
No matter what time of day, there will be a large group of halberd-wielding guards patrolling the forbidden palace to ensure that the forbidden areas of the palace are safe.
"Wow, wow, wow..."
A group of patrolling guards holding halberds walked past the corridor outside the palace. The sound of armors clashing and rubbing came first from far to near, and then from near to far...
In the imperial study room, an old man with white hair was sitting on a chair. This man was the emperor Shun Kang, Liu Yu.
Liu Yu is fifty-eight years old this year, and is now in his nineteenth year in office. He is not a heroic figure in terms of appearance, but he is full of fortitude and stubbornness.
But after all, he was close to sixty years old, and the eyes of Shunkang Emperor Liu Yu were inevitably filled with fatigue and vicissitudes of life that could not be concealed.
There were many memorials placed on the desk. Liu Yu was flipping through the memorials with his brows furrowed. Even when a eunuch came in from outside with a tray, he didn't notice it in time.
The eunuch who came in with the tray was a little older, but still more than ten years younger than Liu Yu. The eunuch stopped when he approached the desk, and then said softly: "Your Majesty, it's time to drink porridge...
....."
Emperor Shunkang did not raise his eyes, his eyes still stayed on the memorial in his hand, and he said lightly: "Let's put it there first, I will drink it after reading this memorial..."
This eunuch's name is Pei Yang, and he is the eunuch in charge of the palace. He has been with Liu Yu since he was the prince. Later, Liu Yu became the prince, and from the time when the prince ascended the throne to the present, Pei Yang has always fulfilled his duties.
He has been serving Liu Yu for nearly thirty-five years!
Pei Yang followed Liu Yu's words and placed the tray on the table beside him. Then he lowered his head and stood quietly on the side of the desk.
After a while, Liu Yu finally put down the memorial in his hand. He slowly stretched his arms and body, and then turned his eyes to Pei Yang.
Although Pei Yang stood with his head bowed, he seemed to have eyes on his head. As soon as Liu Yu laid his eyes on him, he immediately reacted and the next moment he went to the table below to bring a tray.
After patiently waiting for Liu Yu to drink more than half of the bowl of porridge, Pei Yang raised a smile and said, "Your Majesty, something happened today..."
"What's the matter? Let me tell you..." Liu Yu still drank the porridge slowly.
Pei Yang said: "Your Majesty, Lord Jimo's daughter...is back..."
"Are you talking about Qiao'er? Has that girl just come back from Huzhou? Has there been some drama again?"
Liu Yu obviously misunderstood the meaning and thought it was Jimo Qiao.
Pei Yang shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, what I'm talking about is not Miss Qiao, but Miss Qiao's blue-eyed twin sister, Miss You!"
As soon as the words came out, Liu Yu stopped drinking the porridge. He looked up at Pei Yang, and the hand holding the spoon trembled slightly: "Are you serious?"
Pei Yang nodded heavily and said seriously: "Your Majesty, how dare this old slave make such a joke? Miss You appeared in the Wude Department today. It was the Chief of Staff, Cheng Huahan, who sent someone to inform Lord Jimo.
Later, Mr. Jimo and his wife quickly rushed to Wudesi..."
Liu Yu put the porridge bowl on the desk, stood up and walked to the window, looking up at the sky with his hands behind his back: "I didn't expect that the child was still alive..."
After a long time, Liu Yu turned around and said, "Pei Yang, what the old Imperial Master said back then has indeed come true!"
When he said this, Liu Yu's eyes were full of joy and emotion.
Pei Yang stood beside Liu Yu and said happily: "Yes, Your Majesty! The old Imperial Master is really a god, and he knows things like a god!"
Liu Yu was happy for a while, then suddenly he was startled and asked Pei Yang: "Why didn't Jimoshu come and tell me personally about such a big matter?"
Pei Yang hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty is unaware of something. I heard that when Mr. Jimo saw Miss You today, the father and daughter even made a move. In the end, Mr. Jimo had no choice but to take action and knocked Miss You unconscious."
Brought it back..."
Pei Yang did not witness the scene with his own eyes. He could only tell the emperor everything he heard.
"I didn't expect that the reunion after eighteen years would be like this?" Liu Yu was surprised and felt quite sad in his heart.
Pei Yang continued: "Your Majesty, I guess Lord Jimo is busy explaining everything that happened back then to Miss You, so that's why he didn't come over so quickly to inform the Emperor."
Liu Yu nodded, thinking that the situation should be like what Pei Yang said.
After a long time, Liu Yu sighed and said with emotion: "Eighteen years...that child has suffered so much!"
Pei Yang didn't answer and still stood quietly beside Liu Yu.
Liu Yu stood in front of the window for a while, then suddenly turned around and said, "Pei Yang, send someone to inform Jimoshu that I will go see the father and daughter early tomorrow morning!"
"Yes, Your Majesty, I will go there in person right now..."
Pei Yang did not dare to make a mistake and immediately agreed and exited the imperial study room.
Liu Yu walked back to the desk and sat down, saying to himself: "My child, I will definitely compensate you well!"
