Because Yan Xi was promoted to the right servant of the Ministry of War, his salary can support a bodyguard, so Wei Chifeng changed his appearance to serve Yan Xi.

In this way, news from all parties can be reported to Yan Xi through Wei Chifeng at any time, which is much more convenient than before.

"What's your name for this brother?" Today, Fang Xun picked up Yan Xi on his way out, and saw a man with a big beard sitting on the other side of the front seat of the carriage. He guessed that this person was probably Yanxi's newly hired guard.ask politely.

Wei Chifeng smiled back and said, "Chifeng."

Fang Xun replied politely: "Fang Xun."

The two didn't talk much, Fang Xun shook his whip and drove away.

At the intersection ahead, without Yan Xi talking, Wei Chifeng said: "My master said, go back to the Xuanzhai today."

Fang Xun's eyelids twitched and he turned his horse's head.

When they arrived at Xuanzhai, Wei Chifeng closed the door and left Fang Xun outside.

Fang Xun rubbed his nose, knowing that tonight his little prince will be alone in the vacant room again.

Song Yuexiao lives in Beiyuan Palace, Yan Xi left yesterday from Beiyuan Palace, although she didn't bump into anyone face to face, she still felt embarrassed.Knowing that there are elders in the other party's family, it is impossible for Yan Xi to go to Beiyuan Palace these days.

Wei Chifeng followed all the way to the door of the house, seeing Wei Chifeng's expression, Yan Xi knew there was a purpose, and said: "Say it."

Wei Chifeng said: "Eunuch Ming Zhong sent a message to ask the master what he meant, how will the King of Chu deal with it?"

"What do I mean?" Yan Xi sarcastically said, "Why is it my turn to make decisions about my father's affairs?"

Wei Chifeng was most afraid of Yan Xi's yin and yang moments, which made people feel very uncertain. He probably knew that his master was upset, so he carefully apologized and said, "Ming Zhong and his subordinates said, follow your majesty's temper, I am afraid that the king of Chu will not be tolerated."

Yan Xi felt a tightness in her chest, and turned her head into the room.

Wei Chifeng watched Yan Xi go to the clothes hanger, did not dare to follow, closed the door, and quickly went to the small kitchen to boil water.

Yan Xi had the second time with Song Beiming yesterday, and today the dryness on his body is obviously lighter, but compared to ordinary people, he is still hotter.

He took off his inner and outer clothes and changed into a thin long gown for home, thinking about things.

He remembered that in the original book, Yan Xu was imprisoned for three years in order to protect the original owner, and he thought that when he left the palace five years ago, no one else dared to come and see him off, only Yan Xu came to see him off.

Yan Xi sighed, got up and opened a certain box, inside lay a sachet quietly.He himself can't explain why he still keeps this small and useless thing after several rounds of turnover. He can even clearly remember that Yan Xu said at that time that this evil warding sachet contains Buddha incense and Yan Xu's fragrance.The hand-copied scriptures have also been consecrated by the master.

In order to keep the plot going, Yan Xi has never been soft on the paper people.

But at this moment, he held the small sachet in his hands and remained silent for a long time, and finally put the sachet on the desk.

When Wei Chifeng knocked on the door and came in, he saw the coat hanging on the hanger, knew that Yan Xi had changed into a thin shirt, so he didn't dare to go inside.

He asked softly by the door: "Master, there is still a letter waiting in the palace."

"Sixth brother's life can't be saved, otherwise there will be endless troubles. He must be 'give death'." Yan Xi's voice was light, "Sixth brother was transported overnight to the private prison of King Qin's mansion in Yuedong County. Without my order, he is not allowed.If you take a step out of the forbidden room, no one will be able to see you. There are as few people as possible to do things, and your mouth must be tight. If anyone leaks the news, you will deal with it directly."

Wei Chifeng had heard that the sixth prince and the seventh prince grew up together and they were very good friends, so when he heard the first part of the sentence, he felt a chill in his heart, and was shocked that the master didn't care about the brothers who grew up together.Be merciful; upon hearing the second half of the sentence, bursts of warmth appeared again.

He got the order, and asked for Shen Qian's instructions in a low voice: "Shopkeeper Shen said that the batch of golden nanmu you want has been purchased, and it is entering Beijing by water. This batch of nanmu is not suitable for our business, he is not sureWhat do you mean, please show me how to deal with it?"

Yan Xi thought of Song Beiming being used golden nanmu by the officials of the Jingdu family as an unpalatable soft-shelled turtle for several years, and he said with a pale face, "Find a reason and sell it to the Beiyuan Palace."

Wei Chifeng recalled the incident of slaughtering the little prince last time, and felt that this batch of wood was no better than cannons, and he was afraid that he would not be able to sell it at a high price, so he said with lingering fear: "Then...the price?"

"This batch of wooden customs clearance documents are available, Song Beiming will like it." Yan Xi said: "It's cheaper or you can give it away. Let's say 'Haiyan' to give back to regular customers, and take care of each other's business in the future."

"This subordinate understands." Wei Chi withdrew and went out.

Wei Chifeng learned from Shen Qian that this batch of golden nanmu was hard-won, and it cost tens of thousands of taels of silver including the freight.With his master's tenacious temperament, this time he gave it away for nothing, and next time he might have to cheat a lot of money back.

The room fell silent, Yan Xifu picked up the sachet again, and muttered: "Yan Zhener, Yan Zhen... princess, prince..."

Yan Xi thought for a long time before putting down the sachet.

It's time to make this move.

Palace of Heavenly Purity.

Ming Zhong reported Yan Xi's meaning to Emperor Tianxi.

Emperor Tianxi's face was gloomy.

Ming Zhong said in a low voice: "King Qin has been pure and kind since he was a child, and it is human nature to be reluctant to let go of brotherhood."

Emperor Tianxi's eyes were heavy, and there was a three-pointed question in his tone: "Xiaoqi has done a good job before, but this time he is merciful."

Ming Zhong seldom heard such obvious emotions from Emperor Tianxi, and this was the first time he heard Emperor Tianxi criticize Yan Xi in several years.

Hearing this, Ming Zhong felt panicked, sweated for Yan Xi, and asked in a low voice: "My lord, do you still follow King Qin's wishes?"

"According to what he wants." Emperor Tianxi's anger became more and more condensed, and he said gloomyly, "Let Xiao Liu kneel outside all night."

Ming Zhong's complexion changed: "My lord... It has started to rain tonight. The Qin Tianjian said that it will turn to a heavy rain at night. The servant girl saw that there was lightning and thunder just now. The King of Chu has been pampered since he was a child.Your body will be ruined."

Emperor Tianxi slowly moved the jasper bracelet in his hand: "Xiao Liu is a person who has no opinions. According to his temperament, he has neither the guts nor the ability to do the assassination of King Qin. He dares to take care of the matter alone, so heIt's because there is someone more important than myself in his heart, and even me, the emperor, is not in his eyes at all. As a prince, he is so ignorant, arrogant, and useless. Since he dares to come, he has to bear it. At the end of the day, he wants to beA good man, if he has the heart of a good man, but does not have the life of a good man, and if it rains all night, he will be gone, so let it go."

Ming Zhong wiped his sweat hesitantly, but hesitated to speak.

Emperor Tianxi sneered, "What?"

Ming Zhongzheng fawned over him fearfully: "King Qin didn't say whether to use torture or not. He and King Chu had a childhood friendship. Now that he has spoken, he thinks he wants to keep him. Should you tell King Qin about this?"

"What is there to say?" Emperor Tianxi's face became gloomy, and he said fiercely, "He really dares to do what I propose! He has been living so smoothly these days, and he thinks that everything will be left to him.As the superior, he has no personal feelings, if he fails to pass this test, he will be caught by others in the future. This time, let him know the pain point of being soft-hearted, so that he will not dare to do it again in the future."

Ming Zhong knew that there was no room for change in this matter, and thought of how many times Emperor Tianxi had hinted to ask Yan Xi to come to the palace for an audience, but Yan Xi refused to come.Sighed slightly.

Emperor Tianxi heard it, and a cold look flashed in his eyes: "Ming Zhong, you've been so confused lately."

Ming Zhong was terrified, he knelt down on the ground with a bang, Dou Da's cold sweat instantly fell, and he explained in horror: "Slave servant... Slave servant just wants to ease the relationship between the emperor and King Qin."

"It is not up to others to intervene in the matter of father and son between me and him." A glint of gloom flashed in Emperor Tianxi's eyes, "If I make an order, he can only come to see me obediently. You don't need to do anything extra, you can speculate on what you want, Self-assessment, has become more and more unscrupulous recently."

Emperor Tianxi's tone couldn't hear any joy or anger, but Ming Zhongxin almost jumped out. He prostrated on the ground, kowtowed with tears and said: "I don't dare... I just look at the relationship between the emperor and King Qin father and son who haven't seen each other for many years.See, I can't bear it... It's the slave who overstepped, and the slave deserves death!"

Ming Zhong knocked loudly, blood stains soon appeared on the hard floor tiles.

Only then did Emperor Tianxi speak slowly: "He hates me because the assassination of Xue'er has never been resolved, and I'll see how long he can hate. If he can really hate me so much that he doesn't even come to see me when I die——”

Hearing that Emperor Tianxi's tone was wrong, Ming Zhong's heart was in his throat, and he pricked up his ears frightened.

Emperor Tianxi paused for a moment, and showed a subtle smile sternly: "If he can be so ruthless, I will give him a high regard."

Ming Zhong felt at ease when he heard that Emperor Tianxi did not speak any more.

With his bloody forehead drooping, he reflected in his heart: Ever since King Qin won the first prize and returned to the court, Emperor Tianxi was obviously much easier to speak than before, which caused Ming Zhong to be entrusted for a while.The emperor's heart is unfathomable, so we should be vigilant in the future.

Ming Zhong knelt on the ground, not daring to get up.While thinking about it, he suddenly heard Emperor Tianxi ask: "How old are you this year?"

Ming Zhong was taken aback, and replied in a low voice, "Your maidservant is sixty-one."

Emperor Tianxi said meaningfully: "It's time to bring a newcomer."

It turned out that things were waiting for him here.

"Yes, my servant has been worrying about this recently." Hearing this, Ming Zhong breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. As long as this matter is done for the emperor, the trouble just now will be over, so he carefully asked for instructions, "EmperorIs there anyone to choose?"

Emperor Tianxi said: "What's the name of the little eunuch who followed Xiaoqi to the imperial mausoleum for five years?"

"It's called Wang An." Ming Zhong already understood Emperor Tianxi's intentions, and he added with a heavy heart, "Now he is serving as the chief eunuch in the palace of Yuedong County with the false King Qin."

"Take him here and put him under your command." Emperor Tianxi said, "If you do well and are loyal, then boldly raise it; if you don't do well, don't be soft."

Ming Zhong bowed his head: "This servant knows."

Emperor Tianxi said: "Retire."

Ming Zhongdao trembled, bowing down gratefully to thank him.

It wasn't until he exited the main hall that Ming Zhong's legs were still trembling, and the little eunuch who served him came to help him, and he barely stood up straight.

Only then did he realize that his clothes were soaked in cold sweat.

Everyone envied and feared him as the royal father-in-law, only Ming Zhong himself knew how difficult it was to walk on thin ice these years.

He was able to achieve this position, apart from being careful, he mainly relied on his love for serving Emperor Tianxi all his life.

He knew that no matter how ruthless Emperor Tianxi was, he would give him a good death, but seeing that Emperor Tianxi has become more and more decisive in his actions and his heart has become more and more uncertain over the years, he still has the intention of retreating.

Emperor Tianxi bluntly asked him to bring newcomers, which left him a way out.As long as he has a relationship with Wang An as a teacher and apprentice, his retirement life will be guaranteed in the future.

Ming Zhong watched Emperor Tianxi grow up, and he somehow understood what Emperor Tianxi was thinking.He felt a little sad, the performance of Emperor Tianxi today actually showed that Emperor Tianxi didn't really mind him mediating the relationship between father and son, otherwise he wouldn't have let him take care of him secretly and intercede for Yan Xi openly for a long time.

For ordinary people at Emperor Tianxi's age, what they want most is family happiness.However, Emperor Tianxi held power tightly, but he still gradually separated from the only prince who cared; that Ying Zhu didn't seem to follow Emperor Tianxi sincerely; and now Emperor Tianxi even arranged for him to retire.

It won't be long before Ming Zhong should retire for the elderly.

Emperor Tianxi spent his whole life reaching a position of great power, but finally became a loner.
