The Transmigrated Life of a Salty Fish Family

Chapter 875: Meeting the County Lord
The next day.

The King of England and his entourage set out before dawn, and when they arrived at the palace gate, it was just dawn.

Yan Laoer rubbed his face vigorously with his hands and washed his eyes with the warm tea prepared in the carriage. Only then did he feel better.

Last night, Old Ye taught him a lot, and he asked whenever he didn't understand. He learned a lot without realizing it. When he returned to the King of England's palace, he didn't even have time to take a break because he had to accompany the King of England on another trip.

"If someone doesn't know, they would think you were a thief last night." Eunuch Wang joked.

Yan Laoer thought to himself that you are right, isn't it? He is like a thief, sneaking around, afraid of being seen.

As soon as he opened his mouth, a yawn came out.

Eunuch Wang poured him another cup of strong tea.

"Drink some more, and be refreshed." He said to himself, "Don't mention you. We didn't get a good night's rest. Not to mention that the prince couldn't sleep well, we are also worried. We don't know if taking the county lady home today will anger His Majesty..."

"He may be angry, but not too angry." Yan Laoer's expression was a little strange. He had heard from Lao Ye that His Majesty had been in poor health in recent years and his temper had become strange. Compared with the past, he sometimes seemed to be less impatient and his emotions were easily revealed.

According to Yan Laoer's own understanding, the old emperor was ill and knew that his time was running out. As an emperor, he wanted to pass on the huge dynasty and choose a suitable successor.

As an old man suffering from illness, he has little patience left.

The capital city is not a good place. The officials in the court are full of holes in their minds. They are deceitful and scheming against each other. Who wouldn't be annoyed if they had to look at such a group of people all day long? If you think less and just say what you want to say directly, the old emperor may be more receptive.

Therefore, he is the third confidant of the King of England.

The idea that Yan Laoer gave him was to just ask for help!
As for why he is the third confidant, it goes without saying that Eunuch Wang must be the closest person to the King of England. The King of England always talks about how the Eunuch saved his life and never says a word to his daughter. It is clear from his words that the second confidant must be the Eunuch.

This third one is definitely him. Whoever accompanies the prince to speak his mind and give him advice, whoever accompanies the prince to drink, and whoever the prince eats whatever dish he orders, that must be him, Yan Laoer!
"…Since I was sent to the vassal state, I have not been by your side for a long time. I miss you very much. I wanted Yunxia to stay in the palace so that she could be with you, serve you, and fulfill your filial duty. But now it seems that I am to blame. Xia'er has the same personality as me, she is clumsy and simple, which makes you worry more."

The King of England was choked with emotion and said, "Father, your Majesty is concerned about the country and has become ill from overwork. I am an unfilial son and have allowed this ignorant child to disturb your Majesty's rest. Your son, your son, knows his mistakes and can correct them. Today I will take Yunxia home and will not disturb your Majesty's rest again."

……

As we get older, we sleep less and wake up earlier.

A palace maid came to report.

The old emperor stood up, was helped to change his clothes.

Although he claimed to be ill and did not attend court, memorials to the emperor were still submitted to him by court officials.

At this moment, everything is quietly laid out on the table.

The old hand picked up a book at random, and the chief of the Imperial Household Department who was serving beside him bowed and presented the imperial calligraphy with both hands.

He quickly scanned the memorial and saw the word "drought". He couldn't help but frown and feel even more annoyed.

The imperial pen dotted the text with red ink, drew a half circle and paused, then threw the pen and the memorial aside.

The people nearby seemed to have anticipated this and picked it up and placed it in a secluded place.

He also signaled the palace servants to quickly clean up the red-stained floor tiles.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the King of England is still waiting at the palace gate."

The old man in the yellow brocade dragon robe raised his eyelids slightly and said, "You just said you came to pick up the county lady?"

The eunuch who had served the emperor for more than ten years spoke softly and gently, "His Highness is filial and said that he dare not let the county lady stay in the palace any longer to disturb His Majesty's peace. In addition to taking the county lady back, His Royal Highness the King of England also wants to enter the palace to pay respects to His Majesty and the Queen."

"He is a filial son." The old emperor said indifferently.

The eunuch in charge of the seal bowed and said yes, but did not say another word.

"Let the county lady go and see him."

He only said he would meet her, but didn't mention whether he would leave the palace or not. The eunuch in charge of the seal understood.

Just as he was about to bow and leave, he suddenly heard His Majesty speak again:
"Let him in."

The eunuch who held the seal was startled.

This is the first prince to be summoned since His Majesty claimed to be ill.

……

"Your Majesty has ordered that His Royal Highness the King of England come to the palace for an audience."

For a moment, the King's eyes widened.

Fortunately, he held his ground.

He glanced at Eunuch Wang and Yan Er, nodded implicitly to the latter, and followed the eunuch who led the way into the palace.

Eunuch Wang followed immediately.

Yan Laoer hesitated for a moment and followed.

The King of England didn't care about the outsiders around him, and whispered, "Why are you following me? Why don't you go back and meet the county lady?"

It has to be said that after spending so much time with the Yan family, King Ying's brain has begun to grow.

The word “接” in “接應” is spoken with great emphasis.

Yan Laoer shuddered and immediately realized that the King of England's nod to him just now did not mean what he thought.

His Majesty's summons was a special situation. Yan Laoer was a little confused at first, thinking that King Ying nodded to him because he wanted him to follow him into the palace.

But according to what the King of England said at this time, we still have to proceed according to the original plan.

Yan Laoer quickly retreated.

The eunuchs leading the way, including the guards guarding the gate, seemed not to notice his turmoil and kept their eyes straight ahead.

"Erdan, wait and see what I tell you. When I find a chance to invite the county lady to get in the car, you should drive away immediately. Remember, take a shortcut and drive directly back to the palace. The brothers will cover you from behind."

Sun Erdan was entrusted with an important task. He felt like a fire was burning in his heart, making his whole body hot.

"Don't worry, Brother Yan, I will bring the county lady home safely."

"Tell the county lady about the situation and don't scare her." Yan Lao Er instructed.

The reason why Sun Erdan was let to drive was because he was good at honking and could clearly communicate with the county lady, so that the county lady would not be confused.

"Save it!" Sun Erdan whispered again, "Second Brother Yan, be careful too. The imperial guards in the palace look like they are not easy to deal with. If you can talk, don't fight. We don't have any weapons in our hands. If they really fight, we will suffer."

Sun Erdan was talking about spears, bows, crossbows and other items.

There are not many people in Xiao'an camp who are good at using swords. They are the best at archery, followed by spears, and they are also good at using shields. The waiter has specially trained them to use the latter two in combination.

Yan Laoer's heart almost jumped out of his chest.

"Don't talk nonsense! How can we fight here? That's not a rebellion," Yan Laoer said in a very low voice, "That would be a rebellion! Sun Erdan, Sun Erdan, is your head so heavy that your neck can't stand it anymore? Do you want to learn from the rebel king and his son and hang yourself on the city wall?!"

Yan Lao Er said with a fierce face: "If you keep talking nonsense, I will sew up your troublesome mouth!"

"Right! Right! I was wrong, okay?" Sun Erdan slapped his mouth quickly, "I'll lead the army when I get back, twenty? Thirty? Thirty-five!! No more, Brother Yan, or I won't be able to get off the ground... Hey, Brother Yan, look, isn't the one in the middle of the frost and white flowers the county lady?"

Whenever someone comes to the house, my daily routine is disrupted. I am so exhausted. It takes me a few days to recover ~嘤嘤嘤~!
