Fan An stood there in a daze, watching Li Jianbi go downstairs supported by a group of servants.There were a few ministers watching the excitement standing scatteredly in the room, watching Li Jianbi leave with eyes full of surprise, and turning around to look at Fan An again.

People in the court all said that Li Jianbi's eyes were higher than the sky, and none of the famous ladies in the capital could catch their eyes.His words and deeds are upright, and he has never heard of any good Long Yang. What is the origin of this Minister of the Ministry of Justice who has not been in office for a year, and he has won the favor of Lord Yushi Li.

What a great skill to break a famous straight pine tree into a curved tree...

Fan An swallowed, raised his sleeves and slowly covered his face. He glanced at the crowd, laughed a few times, and ran away in a hurry.

He returned to the stage in a daze, and the senior scholar Xiao next to him said that the Holy Majesty and a group of ministers went to Lutai for a while, what happened?Fan An hummed for a while, then said it was all right.He was thinking about the scene where Li Jianbi said, "The minister and Mr. Fan are in love with each other", and his mind was full of thoughts. He didn't know whether it was surprise or joy, and there were bursts of hot sweat on his hands and forehead.

Liang Yenian and Li Jianbi were both sitting in the row not far from him, watching the play quietly with His Majesty, as if nothing had happened.

The Empress Dowager didn't get up until the "Dianxianlu" on the stage was over, and the "Hundred Flowers Presenting a Birthday" was sung again, and the red curtain fell.All the ministers respectfully sent the emperor and the empress dowager out of the Oriole Court, and said goodbye to each other when they returned to the stage, and they were about to part.

Fan An's eyes followed Li Jianbi all the time, but that person was always surrounded by others, which made him afraid to go forward and talk to him.How many eyes have seen what happened in Lutai today, and it will be known to everyone tomorrow.He, Fan An, is so rough and cheeky that he is used to being ashamed, and he is not afraid of being pointed behind his back, but Li Jianbi, the leader of the Lantai, is known for his integrity and virtue, and when gossip surges, how can this person resist?

In fact, Fan An never understood in his heart that the love between two people is just a last resort.At that time, I was questioned by someone in front of the Holy Master. This person was probably afraid that he would get flustered for a while and expose the matter between him and the actor, so he hurriedly found such a way out for him.

Since it was Li Jianbi who found the way out, it was up to Li Jianbi how he would go in the future.He Fan An originally had nothing, and anything, as long as his life was not killed, fined, demoted or dismissed from office, was not a big deal to him, let alone for his Lord Li.

Thinking of this, he suddenly let go of his heart, let out a long breath and said to the Zhongshu beside him, "Go back to the mansion." The Zhongshu reminded: "Your Excellency hasn't said goodbye to Master Liang and Master Li yet." Ann smiled and said no need, there are so many people who want to say goodbye to the two of them, even if you go up, he may not remember which one you are.

The Zhongshu had no choice but to follow him out of Tingli Garden.The two walked slowly outside the palace, got into the carriage and went to Shangshufu.

I didn't want the carriage to travel less than three miles outside the palace, but was suddenly stopped by another four-horse chariot.The chariot carved with gilt was blocked in the middle of the road, Fan An's groom pulled the horse rope abruptly, causing Fan An inside to knock his head on the edge of the window, his forehead was immediately swollen.

The Zhongshu next to him poked his head out to look for a while, put down the curtain and said anxiously: "My lord! It seems to be Mr. Liang's carriage! You didn't say goodbye to him when you left, so you must be asking for a crime!"

Fan An said: "No way, how can he have such leisure time." He rubbed his forehead, leaned out to take a look.

Painted red with a carved phoenix and four purple tassels, it is indeed the carriage of the chief minister of the cabinet.Fan An was wondering, when the curtain of the carriage was raised, a person got out of the carriage and came straight to him.The street is wide, but there are no lights. Only when the man got closer did Fan An recognize Liang Yenian.He groaned, jumped out of the car in a hurry to meet him, and said, "Master Liang, what a coincidence, you're going to go this way when you return home?"

"You were listening to Oriole Garden just now and I still have something to say to you, but you disappeared in a blink of an eye." Liang Yenian approached Fan An and pulled Fan An a few steps into the dark alley next to him. He looked up at Fan An After a few glances, he sighed and said, "Master Fan, I know you were wronged."

Fan An didn't expect him to say this out of nowhere, so he asked, "I don't understand what your lord is saying."

"Hey, why are you pretending to be confused until now. I don't care if any of the Manchu people are wronged, but I am a close friend with you. Today's Lutai incident, I just watched you being bullied by that Li Jianbi. I can't stand it anymore!"

Fan An thinks when I became acquainted with you, why can't you see it anymore?He was in a state of confusion when he suddenly heard Liang Yenian say: "Tell me honestly, did Li Jianbi force you to talk about mutual affection?"

Fan An laughed dryly a few times, saying that he would not force it, sir, you are too worried.But Liang Yenian didn't smile, he stared at Fan An with a pair of eyes, and there was a butcher's knife in his dark eyes.Fan An met his eyes for a while, the voice in his throat weakened, and he didn't dare to laugh anymore.

Liang Yenian said: "Tomorrow morning, someone will impeach Li Jianbi for the crime of "fornicating the official system". The Holy Majesty has always been strict and upright, and will not allow such things to happen under his nose. Li Jianbi deserves what he deserves, but Mr. Fan, you have always been upright. The court is very appreciative, if you dismiss the official because of such a thing, wouldn't you be wronged?"

Fan An snorted, and before he could say anything, Liang Yenian suddenly said, "Master Fan, you are a handsome man with a magnificent appearance, and it's not your fault that Li Jianbi took a fancy to you. Tell me, what happened in Lutai today is Didn't Li Jianbi see the color and want to force you?"

Fan An stared at him with wide eyes, tongue tied and said: "You...you...what did you say?!"

Liang Yenian held his hand and said, "At Lutai today, it was Li Jianbi who wanted to force you. You were afraid of his high position and power and did not dare to resist, so he took advantage of your lust. If someone found out afterwards, then Li Jianbi would wrong you and accuse you Being in love with him is voluntary and having sexual intercourse with him.”

Fan An took a deep breath, and said for a long time: "No, no, no... no... that's not the case." This wild imagination is really beyond the reach of the dust!Li Jianbi is strong on me?Will anyone believe it?You want to use this to slander Li Jianbi, at least find a plausible reason!

Fan An shook his hand and was about to back away, but Liang Yenian pulled him back suddenly: "You don't have to be afraid of him. Tomorrow you just tell the truth to the Holy Majesty! All the officials in my cabinet will protect you!"

"Thank you Master Liang for your kindness!" Fan An struggled hard, not wanting Liang Yenian to look at him earnestly, but refused to let go, and said: "Master Fan, think about it carefully!"

"Your Majesty, I have thought about it carefully, and you don't have to say it again, my lord." Fan An couldn't break free for a while, and an inexplicable anger welled up in his heart. He shouted, pushed Liang Yenian away abruptly, and said, "Master Li Qingsong Snow Bamboo He is a rare good official of Daxuan! I am devoid of conscience, how can I help you harm him again!"

Liang Yenian was taken aback by his drink, and Fan An took advantage of his stupefied moment to jump into the carriage and run away.

Fan An returned to Shangshu Mansion without sleeping all night, suddenly got up from bed in the middle of the night, and ordered Yuan Zhu and the two young masters to be called into the house.

The two young masters were falling asleep, and they were forcibly woken up by Fan An, and they went into the room with tears in their eyes, looking like they were about to cry.Fan An held the two of them in his arms, raised his head and said to Yuanzhu, "I was dreaming just now, dreaming that I was dismissed from office."

Yuanzhu woke up and said that the lord has outstanding talents, and now is the time to be valued by the emperor. People in the Manchu Dynasty said that the lord is a good person and a good official. Will be dismissed from office.

Fan An shook his head, saying that the world is unpredictable, how many senior officials in the court can grow old smoothly?Actually, I am not afraid of being dismissed from office. Losing an official is a trivial matter. I am afraid of beheading.

Yuanzhu's neck was chilled by what he said, and he said what's wrong with you, my lord, how could you think of these things?No sooner had she finished speaking, Fan An burst into tears. He took Yuanzhu's hand and said, Miss Yuan, can you promise me something?

Yuanzhu was startled by her, and hurriedly knelt down and said that the slaves dare not, and if you have anything to do, you can just order it!

Fan An said: "Miss Yuan, if I die one day, can you take care of my two sons for me? You are the head maid in Shangshu's mansion, and your knowledge is no worse than those of the ladies of Bishu. Be a mother. For those families in the city and the countryside who have nowhere to ask for children, you can find two, let them have food to eat and books to read, and just don’t become a beggar on the street.”

Yuanzhu said: "My lord, what did you say!" Fan An didn't reply, but said: "Just say whether you agree or not."

Yuan Zhu dared not agree, Fan An went along with the wind and made her swear a poisonous oath.It wasn't until Wuzhu said everything according to him that Fan An let out a breath. He lay on his side on the bed and murmured, "I'm so exhausted..."

The two little boys were held in his arms, Fan An tightened his grip, and slowly fell asleep with his eyes closed.
