Wen Hemian comforted: "Uncle Lu, don't be angry."

Uncle Lu sighed: "I just think it's not worth it."

"The prince and princess have been guarding the border for more than 20 years without returning the favor. The young master is devoted to assisting His Majesty in clearing out the rebels. If he had such ambitions, the throne should have been replaced long ago. How can they have the right to interfere here?"

Uncle Lu says whatever he wants to say and is very straightforward.

Wen Hemian raised his eyebrows: "If this word gets out, you'll lose your head."

Uncle Lu: "If you dare to speak up, you won't be afraid."

Wen Hemian smiled: "They are just talking, they don't dare to come to our door openly, just pretend you didn't see it."

Uncle Lu still felt it was not worth it, but there was no need to talk about this kind of thing and continue to disturb his mood: "What do you think, Your Majesty?"

"Your Majesty agrees, but it will take some time to implement it. I have resigned from the post of Minister of Personnel and can stay in the palace to rest."

Of course, everyone knows that this is just the best plan.

Wen Hemian has touched the interests of the aristocratic families and is still struggling, so there are plenty of things for her to deal with.

"Then I will ask His Majesty for leave to visit my family and go to the border to see my parents."

Last time they were just trying to scare Ning Hechu, and they didn’t go very far in the end. This time it was for real.

After staying in Beijing for many years, Wen Hemian also wanted to see the scenery outside. Although it might be a bit difficult, she had a way to get that brat to release them.

Uncle Lu had a complicated expression, and he didn't know what to say: "That's great."

Wen Hemian thought so too.

In the following days, the turmoil not only did not subside, but intensified. Not only the censor, but also more ministers joined the ranks of impeaching Wen Hemian. The reasons they gave were nothing more than "disrespect for etiquette and law" and "arrogant and presumptuous", which made people feel that they had no good intentions.

Unfortunately, the emperor refused to punish them, and they were helpless.

There were a few more stubborn old ministers who went to kneel in front of the Taiji Hall, but when Xie Lang heard about it, he sent the imperial physician to watch over them, so that they had no reason to faint. After this warning, no one dared to go.

Their Majesty is really a stubborn person.

After the test, many people temporarily stopped.

No matter what, as long as His Majesty still has this affection in mind, they'd better not confront Wen Hemian, be prudent and protect themselves, there will always be a chance in the future.

Let’s put this matter aside for now and settle another matter first.

With full preparations in place, the Ning Party was cleared out very quickly, and the letters of surrender that were submitted were not wasted. They followed the clues and found more rats, and took the opportunity to catch them all in one fell swoop. All the officials involved, big and small, including Ning Hechu, were set to be executed.

It was either lingchi or beheading.

After all, the former's death was indeed suspected of being a brutal murder.

Xie Lang is not a tyrant, and Wen Hemian also intends to keep him away from his original direction. The most important thing is to separate himself from these things.

She didn't go to see the execution of Ning Hechu on that day, but by coincidence, Chen Yi had just dug up some loquat trees planted in Ning Mansion and sent them to her.

After all, there is a process and some checks to go through, and we can't just give it to her directly, so we only have the chance to dig it out now.

"Sir, where is this tree planted?"

This loquat tree was very tall, and Qingyun was troubled when he saw it.

"Let's plant them in the backyard. It's pretty empty there. Let's see if we can pick loquats next year."

"I will ask someone to do it right away." Qingyun had just finished speaking and was about to leave when she suddenly slapped her head and said, "Oh, by the way, the young master's birthday is in a few days. Should I also ask them to prepare for it?"

Wen Hemian never celebrated his birthday in a big way. Usually, everyone in the mansion would gather together for a meal, and the Emperor would sneak out at this time and present a birthday gift.

But this year... Qingyun sincerely hopes that His Majesty will not come.

"Okay, get ready. Thank you for your hard work."

Wen Hemian's mood, which had just relaxed a little, immediately became more relaxed. She had not forgotten that Xie Lang had said he would give her a gift, and she didn't know whether she should be surprised or happy.

Qingyun concealed the sadness in his eyes and opened his lips but still didn't ask any more questions.

It's hard to explain this matter.

-

Tai Chi Hall.

As a personal servant, Lai Xi could feel the excitement in the young emperor's body in recent days.

You know, after Lord Wen deliberately avoided His Majesty and reduced the number of times he went into the palace, the palace often became dead silent, and His Majesty no longer controlled his temper, causing the palace servants to be extremely cautious.

Lai Xi was not clear about the specific details, but he was sure that His Majesty must have had a conflict with Lord Wen.

And this contradiction is probably caused by your Majesty's thoughts.

Seeing that there was no sign of easing for such a long time, he sighed all day long. He didn't expect that there would be a sudden turn for the better. How could he not be happy!

In a few days, it will be Lord Wen’s birthday, so let’s have fun together.

"What are you giggling at?"

Xie Lang's sharp eyes swept across Lai Xi, his calm brows intimidating without anger: "Go and get me the seal."

Lai Xi was so frightened that he trembled: "I know I'm wrong, I'll go right away!"

He went to the bookshelf to get the seal, and when Xie Lang lowered his eyes, he secretly glanced at it, a little confused.

Hey, why didn't you write anything?

Xie Lang stamped it, made sure it was dry, and then rolled it up and put it away.

His eyebrows curved slightly, and his tone was very gentle: "I don't know if the master will like this birthday gift."

Lai Xi didn't know what Xie Lang had prepared, so he just kept complimenting him: "Lord Wen loves His Majesty so much, His Majesty will definitely like anything he gives."

Love?

Xie Lang sneered: "You'd better stop talking."

Lai Xi was stunned, and then he couldn't help but slap himself in the face.

Oh, look at his mouth.

……

A few days later.

The weather was still a little hot, but everyone in the palace was busy.

Wen Hemian was not arrogant. On her birthday, everyone in the house could have a good meal and the treatment was quite generous, so everyone was naturally willing to work hard.

Qingyun didn't want the man from the palace to come at all, but when the carriage stopped at the back door, her expectations were dashed.

I can only go up and invite His Majesty into the palace with a smile on my face.

Xie Lang walked in as if he knew the way.

When he entered, he found a tall loquat tree in the yard, and he paused.

Wen Hemian's voice came from behind: "It's from Ning Mansion. I think it's a pity to cut it down, so I transplanted it here."

Xie Lang's back stiffened as he noticed that this voice was different from previous ones.

It was not a gentle and gentle male voice that was difficult to distinguish between male and female, but it had a certain softness and beauty that was unique to women, like a light breeze that swept through people's hearts.

He suddenly turned around and saw the person standing behind him. It was the same face, but there seemed to be something different.

Wen Hemian said in a gentle voice, "Are you not used to it? But when I think about it, I have celebrated my birthday many times in the capital, and I have never shown my true face to anyone. It feels awkward."

The people in the yard were evacuated at some point. As night fell, Xie Lang finally came to his senses.

"……Do not."
