Take good care of Second Miss.You also want to..." Zheng Zhong's voice choked up, "Take care too. "

I nodded and said solemnly, "Don't worry too. I can handle it."

"Yes, yes! I believe it!" Zheng Zhong lowered his head, tearing up, and wiped it away with his hand so that I wouldn't see it.

When we came to the front hall, everyone was having dinner.Seeing me coming in, everyone stood up at the same time. They looked at me with worried expressions in their eyes, but no one asked any more questions.

I signaled everyone to sit down and continue eating, and handed over the official warrant to Lu Chenghai, telling him to take this to pass through the border gate at night.

"Let's go at three o'clock in the afternoon."

After I explained everything, I looked around at everyone again.

"Safe trip, I won't send it off."

I turned and walked out the hall door.

"grown ups……"

Lu Chenghai called behind him, his voice was hoarse and depressing.

"grown ups……"

A few more people stood up and chased to the door.

I turned around and smiled.

"It's like parting from life and death, everyone, don't be sad, we will meet later."

Lu Chenghai said: "My lord said, there will be a period later! You have to return home as soon as possible, we are all waiting to continue serving you!"

"Okay, I promise you."

The members of the Su family promised so much, everyone felt relieved when they heard this.

Do not make promises that cannot be fulfilled, and do not do things that are unfavorable to sentient beings.My father's teachings, I remember as new.But sometimes, lies can do good things that the truth can't.That's all I can do.

"My lord, there is one more thing."

Just as I was about to leave, Lu Chenghai called me again.

"what's up?"

"Yes... it's the Second Miss. Just now, Ah Xi told me that the Second Miss refused to eat, and even said that she would never leave the Su Mansion even if she died!"

Minmin's small attic and my study are located at the east and west ends of the garden. When I walked in with Zheng Zhong, a porcelain bowl was being thrown out of the bedroom.

"Get out! Get out! Everyone get out! I said I won't eat! Don't eat! Don't eat!"

"Miss," Axi's voice urged, "You should eat something. We will be leaving for Lu County in the evening. Although the journey is not long, it will take more than two days. There is nothing delicious along the way. "

"Who said I'm going home?" Minmin said angrily, "I won't go, I won't go!"

"But..." Axi seldom saw his young lady lose her temper like this, and she was a little flustered, and her speech was not smooth, "But my lord, my lord said..."

"Don't mention him! I hate him! Hate him! Hate him! He's not my brother!"

"..."

Axi was probably scared to death.

"Uncle Zhong, go in and persuade her. If she keeps making trouble like this, then..." I hesitated for a moment, "Just try to get her to sleep. No matter what, you must leave tonight!"

Zheng Zhong was a little dazed, "Master, why don't you go in and have a look?"

One of my feet is over the threshold.

"No. Now she's in a rage, and it's even worse when she sees me."

"But……"

I know what he wants to say, maybe this is the last time I see my little sister.

"It's all about safety."

Zheng Zhong sighed, he understood that there might be a lot of struggle and involvement after meeting, which is not good for the overall situation.He nodded and finally went in.

In the garden, Lu Chenghai hurried towards him.

"My lord, Sir Fan Yisheng, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, is asking for an audience. Sir Fan said that your lord has not returned to the hall today, and you have some official matters that you need to report to your lord for approval."

Today, the ruler of the country is dismissed for a day, but the three government offices and ministries are still operating as usual.When I was about to go out in the morning, the tomb of the king arrived, and there was chaos and chaos until now.

I thought for a while, and said to Cheng Hai: "Tell Mr. Fan that I'm not feeling well, and I won't see any guests for the time being. He will take full charge of the hall affairs."

"Yes."

I thought that Cheng Hai would quit if he took the order, but saw that his face was still serious and hesitant.

"What's wrong? Is there anything else?"

Cheng Hai frowned, and said worriedly: "That's right. Just now Xiao Li went out to lead the hired car back to the house, but was stopped by a team of guards at the entrance of the alley."

"Guard?" I was surprised.

"Yes. Those guards said that someone from the palace will come later, so they are forbidden to pass."

Unexpectedly, the trouble came so quickly.

twenty one.Su Yun－Bai Yuyan

There are two types of guards in the Forbidden Palace.

The left and right Jinwu guards are the king's imperial guards, and they need to follow the king's driving at every step.The city defense of the royal palace is the responsibility of the Imperial Forest Army. If the king or the royal family members travel, they will also clear the way and escort them.

This time, it was the Royal Forest Army who lined up to block the road in front of the Su Mansion.I saw the silver-gray belt around the guard's waist from a distance, and my heart sank even more.It seems that the visitor is unusual.

The rank of the Royal Forest Army is the highest with the silver belt, and it is impossible for the palace family members to appear here. Who can use so many royal guards for their trips?

A palace sedan chair turned around the corner and came slowly towards the gate of the mansion.The curtains of the sedan chair were closed, and no one could be seen inside, but the sedan chair was covered with a green mantle and carried by two people on their shoulders, it was very small and simple.

The car curtain opened, but the person who came out surprised me.

"Hello, Mr. Su."

The old servant who bent over the sedan chair had a full moon face, bright head and red lips, but his voice was not as high-pitched as that of ordinary eunuchs, and he was respectful and stable, revealing a gentle and honest book atmosphere.

"Eunuch Bai." I hurriedly bowed my hands.

Since ancient times, eunuchs have been lowly servants in the forbidden palace of the royal city. Because they are close to those in power, they have colluded with the official forces and are integrated into one body.

At the beginning of the founding of the Qi State, the national strength was strong, and the current Luo State was not allowed.However, after the second king came to the throne, because of the love of actors and prostitutes, the government affairs were abandoned for a time, and the courtiers who liked to gain power would cling to the favored inner eunuch, control the government, and form cliques for personal gain.

When the first king succeeded to the throne, he also leaned south of the Anyun River and did not intend to revitalize the country.But when people reach middle age, they suddenly come to their senses and start to carry out reforms, refresh the bureaucracy, mobilize their troops, and hope to restore the country's prestige.

It is said that the change of the former king was due to one person's persistent persuasion.

And this person is the white-haired old eunuch in front of him, Bai Yuyan.

The secrets in the palace are not always credible.But from the first-rank Zaifu down to the traffickers and pawns, almost everyone in the country knows such a story.

The former king had two queens in his life, and had three thousand beauties, but he only loved one.

This person is Bai Yuyan.

I hate Long Yang's obsession a lot, but Bai Yuyan is a person who cannot be hated.

The femininity and coquettishness of ordinary male favorites, even the delicate beauty has nothing to do with him. Although this person is a palace slave, his appearance is ordinary and gentle.What's more, he is very different from the general favored internal officials who bully others, he behaves rightly and properly.Don't flatter and flatter your superiors, and don't bully your inferiors.Almost everyone in the palace praised him for his behavior.

At the age of 20, Bai Yuyan, who was still a young eunuch in Tsingyi, was directly appointed by the late king as the head of the House of Internal Affairs. For 50 years, there has been no better candidate for the seat than him.Since he took charge of palace affairs, Qi State's treasury has never suffered a loss of a tael of silver due to the king's extravagance, but Qi State's army is better than ever.

All the officials said that perhaps Bai Yuyan was the real prime minister of Qi State.It was him who assisted a generation of King Ming.The Qi State was preserved during the chaos of the Zong Kingdom in the past few decades, and he should remember it as the first merit.

Since the new king succeeded to the throne, Bai Yuyan resigned from the position of the second rank manager.He has a detached residence in the imperial city specially set up by the former king.It is said that in recent years, she has gained enlightenment from practicing Zen, and often communicates with eminent monks in Changle Mountain. The Empress Dowager pays homage to the Buddha, and often invites her to the Cining Palace to cut the curtain to sit and talk about scriptures and Buddhism.

I never expected that after the royal tomb, the person who came to the palace would be this respected old internal official.In addition to being apprehensive in my heart, I reminded myself that at this moment, I must be calm and composed, and if I make a wrong move, I will lose everything!

Seeing me salute, Bai Yuyan hastily bowed and bowed again, and said with a smile, "Master Su is too polite. I don't dare to be a slave."

I have only met Bai Yuyan a few times, and they were all during the time when the Empress Dowager gave the state banquet to the ministers.He sits on the seat of an internal official on the north shore of Taiye Pool.It is ten feet away, and I have heard its name for a long time, but I can only see the general appearance, and I have no chance to talk to him.

Unexpectedly, apart from being famous, this person is actually more respectful and polite than in the legend.In fact, with his qualifications and reputation, it would not be an exaggeration for the three prime ministers to salute.

I am busy and return the courtesy.

"Master Su, please don't take the liberty of visiting the door. I hope you don't blame him for being abrupt." Bai Yuyan opened the door and said straight to the point, "This old slave has not been out of the palace for a long time, and I have come here to obey the Queen Mother's order."

I lowered my hands in awe, and I was about to bow down to the ground: "Eunuch, please declare the decree."

"No, no, no," Bai Yuyan hurriedly waved his hand and gave me a little help, "Your Majesty, you don't need to kneel down. What the Empress Dowager meant, because your majesty was staying at your lord's house yesterday and didn't know everything was going well, I wanted this old servant to come and say hello, I don't know if I will return to the palace tonight?"

I can roughly guess his purpose here.In fact, until now, I have been thinking about countermeasures.Seeing the question at this time, he smiled easily and said: "So it's for this matter. Eunuch can tell the Queen Mother that everything is fine, Your Majesty, so don't worry about it."

Bai Yuyan also laughed: "Of course, with Mr. Su taking good care of him, Your Majesty can live very comfortably."

If another person said the same thing, the ambiguity and explicitness in the sentence would definitely make me sick to my stomach, but it was said by Bai Yuyan's clear and moist voice like hot spring water. Not only did I not feel uncomfortable, but I felt it was a kind of compliment .

"Then," Bai Yuyan continued, "I don't know where your majesty is now, can you let this old servant see you? Go back and tell the queen mother to know, so that she can rest assured."

"This..." I deliberately made an embarrassment.It is not surprising that there is such a requirement
