The princess is so powerful that the fish pond is full of people

Unfortunately, the soundproofing of the gate of the Hall of Mental Cultivation is extremely good. Even if it is normal communication, no sound can be heard from outside. Not to mention if the voice is deliberately lowered, unless someone with amazing hearing comes to listen, ordinary people may not even be able to hear whether there is anyone inside.

Little Li listened outside the door for a while, but when he heard nothing, he began to move away from the gate of the Palace of Tranquil Longevity, for fear that others would notice anything.

Eunuch Qi was sent by His Majesty to send the Imperial Observatory back home, so the job of picking up the memorials naturally fell to An Yi.

An Yi jumped down from the beam like a light swallow, and landed steadily in front of the pile of memorials that His Majesty had dropped.

After refolding the memorials that had not been reviewed and placing them on His Majesty's desk, An Yi quietly retreated into the darkness, intending to return to the beam.

"An Yi seems to have made some progress in his Qing Gong recently."

Hearing His Majesty calling his name, An Yi stopped and respectfully walked in front of His Majesty and responded:

"Your Majesty is so complimentary."

Liang Zhan didn't ask him to leave, so An Yi couldn't leave anymore. He waited until His Majesty finished reviewing the pile of memorials before him, and then An Yi waited for His Majesty to speak again:

"An Yi, which of my foolish children did you think bribed the Imperial Observatory to speak nonsense in front of me?"

His Majesty's question was as difficult to answer as ever. An Yi pondered for a moment. He had too many candidates in mind. If he told them all, he would be afraid of damaging His Majesty's reputation. If he angered His Majesty, he would be the one who would suffer in the end. After a moment's deliberation, An Yi chose to play dumb.

"The prince and princess are both outstanding people. I am a fool and don't know who did this."

It was the first time that Liang Zhan saw An Yi, a wooden man, become so smooth in his speech. There was a hint of disappointment in his eyes when he looked at An Yi. When An Yi noticed it, he lowered his eyes and sneered.

The laughter did not sound angry, but rather a bit sad. An Yi understood that His Majesty was already angry.

Before Liang Zhan could say anything, An Yi quickly knelt down and admitted his mistake.

"Your Majesty, please calm down. I am a fool and I said this because I was afraid of angering Your Majesty. Please calm down."

When An Yi was around, Liang Zhan had always been casual about details. Now, he leaned back on the dragon throne, casually opened the next memorial, looked at the densely packed words on it, and after talking for a long time, he said one sentence, wishing him a happy birthday.

Liang Zhan snorted coldly, casually wrote a "read" on it, and reluctantly put the memorial in his hand on the table in front of him.

Rather than facing those ministers with their own thoughts, he would rather chat more with a stubborn person like An Yi. Otherwise, listening to those people praising him every day would make him a tyrant who acts arbitrarily, favors villains and distances himself from wise ministers.

"An Yi, you should understand that I only want to hear the truth from you. If one day, even you stop telling me the truth, there will be no one left by my side who is truly honest."

When An Yi heard His Majesty's words, he slowly clenched his hands that were hanging on both sides of his body. When he raised his eyes, he looked at His Majesty who was sitting in front of him and ruling the world. At this time, he was sitting quietly on the dragon throne, his brows were furrowed, his eyes were indifferent but with an imperceptible gloom, and his whole body exuded endless sadness, as if the whole world had failed his expectations.

"An Yi asks Your Majesty to punish me. From now on, An Yi will only tell the truth to Your Majesty and will never lie. If An Yi breaks his promise, Your Majesty, please order An Yi to be punished by lingchi."

After saying that, An Yi nodded his head to the ground. The sound of his head hitting the gold bricks was so loud that even Little Leo could hear it outside.

Now Little Li is even more certain that when His Majesty was alone in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, there was definitely more than just His Majesty in the hall.

When Liang Zhan bowed his head in the dark, the gloom in his eyes faded and a look of satisfaction appeared.

His tone was still solemn. He stood up from behind the desk, walked to An Yi, and helped him up.

"I believe you will never betray my trust."

An Yi's head was flushed red, which showed how hard he had knocked down the kowtow just now. Hearing that His Majesty trusted him, he felt a warm feeling from the bottom of his heart. Unfortunately, he had never been good at speaking, and he didn't know how to respond to His Majesty's trust.

Liang Zhan saw the tangle in his eyes and patted his shoulder heavily with his big hand:

"I understand you, I trust you, some things don't need to be said."

After seeing the tears flashing in An Yi's eyes after he finished speaking, Liang Zhan nodded in satisfaction, took out the medicine box from the cabinet beside him, and placed it on the table in the hall:

"Deal with it yourself and don't do such stupid things in the future."

Liang Zhan sat back on the dragon throne and continued to review memorials. An Yi had worked for the emperor in his early years and was very adept at treating wounds. He stopped the bleeding on the forehead, which originally looked terrible, in just a few strokes.

In order not to scare His Majesty, he did not wrap it with gauze. Instead, he applied hemostatic powder, took off the belt from his waist, and tied it around the treated wound, which served as a headband and could also cover the gauze.

By the time Liang Zhan had finished approving several memorials, An Yi had already packed up and was standing in front of him.

"Your Majesty, I have a new idea for the question you asked earlier."

Liang Zhan was busy reviewing the memorials, not even raising his head. He said to An Yi:

"tell me the story."

An Yi learned from his previous lesson and called out all the names that came to his mind in one breath.

"Her Royal Highness Princess Zhenguo, Prince Shu, Prince Li..."

Liang Zhan didn't find it strange when he first heard Chongyue's title. In the past, Chongyue was not as experienced as she is now, and An Yi had to follow her to fill in many things for her.

Liang Zhan didn't find it strange at all that she ranked first on An Yi's list of suspects.

As for the two who ranked behind Chongyue, Liang Zhan felt that their order could be swapped. It was obvious that the second one was smarter than the stupid eldest one.

As far as Liang Zhan is concerned, the eldest brother has been permanently removed from the list of successors. It is estimated that after he dies, given the eldest brother's temperament, he will not be able to jump around for long after the new emperor ascends the throne.

"Your Majesty, I only know these princes and princesses. Your Majesty's other princes and princesses are still young, so it is unlikely that the Imperial Observatory can be sent to work for them."

An Yi's words made sense. Liang Zhan originally just wanted to listen to someone talking while he was busy reviewing memorials, which was so boring.

As for who did this, it will probably be revealed in the court soon.

"Yes, An Yi's analysis of things is now well-reasoned and well-founded. Keep it up. I am very satisfied."

It was rare to hear praise from His Majesty, and An Yi scratched his head a little embarrassedly. When Liang Zhan saw this scene, he remembered that An Yi seemed to be less than 30 years old this year.
