Chapter 287

When Yan Shifan returned to Yan's mansion, it was already very late, but the lights in Yan Song's study were still on.

"Is father waiting for me?"

With such doubts in mind, Yan Shifan knocked on Yan Song's door.

"Come in!"

Yan Song's slightly hoarse voice came from the study.

Yan Shifan pushed the door and entered, and saw such a scene.

I saw Yan Song laying down on the Hu bed without any image, and the books that were originally placed on the desk were also scattered all over the place, looking quite messy.

"Father, what happened?"

Seeing this, Yan Shifan stepped forward and asked respectfully.

"Yan Shifan, something serious happened!"

Yan Song sat up from Hu's bed, took out the letter he had been holding in his hand, and handed it to Yan Shifan.

"Look for yourself, this is a letter from King Jing."

"His Royal Highness King Jing, how could he send a letter! Didn't he say that if it is not necessary, he will not contact you?"

As Yan Shifan said, he took the letter from Yan Song's hand, and after he read the contents above, he seemed to have lost all his strength and fell to the ground powerlessly.

"Confused, confused!"

Immediately afterwards, Yan Shifan got up from the ground, came to Yan Song's side, and asked tremblingly.

"Father...Father, Your Highness King Jing, how could you act like this?"

But Yan Song just glanced at Yan Shifan and explained to him.

"This is not just His Royal Highness King Jing's business, even King Yu is involved."

"As long as the position of the prince is not settled, they will have no peace!"

After listening to Yan Song's explanation, Yan Shifan murmured with ashen face.

"But they clearly know that Imperial Concubine Shen and the child in her womb are His Majesty's rebels, so why..."

Yan Song had a panoramic view of the expression on Yan Shifan's face, sighed helplessly, and immediately explained.

"Isn't this easy to understand? After all, the position of the crown prince is too attractive."

"As long as there is a glimmer of hope of success, King Yu and King Jing will try to do it."

"Don't talk about sending people to give gifts, as long as they can please the imperial concubine, they are willing to do anything!"

At this moment, Yan Shifan's heart was shrouded in endless panic, and his face was full of anxiety, and he asked Yan Song.

"Father, what should we do next?"

"Maybe, this matter will implicate us at that time!"

Hearing this, Yan Song sat up from Hu's bed and gave instructions to Yan Shifan.

"Let's go, follow me to His Majesty's place!"

"Yes, father."

After Yan Shifan finished speaking, he quickly supported Yan Song, walked out of the study, and at the same time ordered his servants to prepare the sedan chair.

……

The Forbidden City, the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Although the night was very deep, Jiajing still didn't feel sleepy at all. His index finger tapped the dragon head carved on the dragon chair very rhythmically, making a 'da da' sound.

At this moment, I saw Lu Fang stepping silently into the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

"Report to Your Majesty, the servants have already found out!"

"speak!"

Jiajing withdrew his gaze from Lu Fang and ordered so.

"The thing is like this. As early as half a month ago, King Yu and King Jing sent people to give gifts to the imperial concubine respectively."

After Lu Fang finished saying this sentence, she knelt down on the ground, not daring to speak any more.

"Where is the person they sent to give the gift, did you catch it?"

After listening to Lu Fang's report, Jiajing seemed dissatisfied, raised his eyebrows, and asked.

"Your Majesty, all those people have been controlled by the servants, waiting for your orders!"

Seeing this, Lu Fang responded with the same respectful expression on his face.

"Kill them all, so as to teach them a lesson!"

Jiajing waved his hand and said casually.

"Yes, Your Majesty, this servant will do it now."

When Lu Fang heard this, his expression turned serious, and he immediately responded.

Just when Lu Fang was about to go to carry out this matter, she saw an eunuch rushing in from outside the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and after kneeling on the ground with a 'plop', he reported this.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, Mr. Yan Ge and Mr. Xu Ge are kneeling in unison on the square outside the Hall of Mental Cultivation at this moment!"

"What, say it again!"

When Lu Fang heard this, she stopped immediately, her face was full of horror.

Afterwards, Lu Fang seemed to have thought of something, and came to Jiajing's side respectfully, without saying a word.

"Since they want to kneel, let them kneel outside!"

After listening to the eunuch's report, Jiajing looked quite calm, and then ordered.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

The eunuch who came to report the news earlier turned around after receiving Jiajing's order, and left the Hall of Mental Cultivation quickly.

……

At this moment, Yan Song and the others looked at each other in the square outside the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

"Old Yan Ge, you are..."

Seeing Xu Jie turn his eyes to Yan Song who was aside, he asked.

"My purpose of coming here is the same as Xu Ge's."

After Yan Song glanced at Xu Jie, he responded lightly.

"This old fox is really sharp!"

Xu Jie then withdrew his gaze from Yan Song and said to himself.

Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng on the side, while kneeling on the ground, straightened their bodies and stared intently at the direction of the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Time passed by so slowly, and when everyone saw Lu Fang's figure appearing in front of them, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

"Fortunately, His Majesty has not completely given up on us!"

And then, the words that came out of Lu Fang's mouth also confirmed everyone's speculation.

"Your Majesty tells you to go there immediately!"

"Thank you, Eunuch Lu."

After being helped up from the ground by Yan Shifan, Yan Song turned his gaze to Lu Fang, saying so.

"Where, where, this is what His Majesty ordered our family!"

"Go quickly, everyone, don't make His Majesty wait too long."

After Lu Fang finished speaking, she led the way in front of herself.

When he was about to step up the steps, Lu Fang suddenly turned around, lowered his voice, and reminded.

"After going in later, everyone should be careful!"

Hearing Lu Fang's words, everyone present exchanged glances with each other, and at the same time raised their inner vigilance to the highest level.

"Your Majesty, they have arrived."

After Lv Fang brought the man, he came to Jiajing's side and stood still, like a sculpture.

"My ministers and others meet your majesty, long live my emperor, long live!"

Under the leadership of Yan Song, everyone cheered up and bowed respectfully to Jiajing sitting on the dragon chair.

"Well, get up."

Jiajing looked calm, waved his hand, and ordered so.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

After getting the emperor's consent, everyone slowly got up from the ground, but in the process, everyone felt like they were walking on thin ice.

"Come on, give me a seat!"

As soon as Jiajing finished speaking, a eunuch stepped forward and prepared seats for everyone.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Feeling uneasy, everyone sat down on the chairs.

"It's so late, you don't sleep, what are you doing here?"

"If you don't sleep, do I want to accompany you?"

After Jiajing finished speaking, he swept his gaze over everyone present, his face full of sarcasm.

"Your Majesty has the liberty to disturb His Majesty's rest, please forgive me!"

When Xu Jie heard this, he immediately got up from his seat and saluted Jiajing respectfully.

"Hmph, of course you are guilty, and the crime is not small!"

Jiajing didn't pay attention to Xu Jie, but stroked the dragon head carved on the dragon chair with his hand, and said slowly.

Hearing the emperor's words, everyone present gasped for breath, and then knelt down on the ground in unison, saying in unison.

"Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

Afterwards, Jiajing slowly got up from the dragon chair and came in front of everyone.

Seeing the emperor's footsteps getting closer and closer to him, the hearts of everyone on the scene were raised in their throats, and they dared not make the slightest movement.

"Why do you come to me to plead guilty in the middle of the night? I think you know the reason better than me."

"I would like to remind you, concentrate on doing what you are doing well, and don't get yourself involved in the whirlpool!"

"If there are still people who dare to persist in their obsession, then no one will be able to save you."

"Do you understand what I said?"

When Jiajing said this, he suddenly raised his tone, which shocked everyone present.

"Yes, Your Majesty, Wei... I understand!"

As the chief assistant of the cabinet, Yan Song took the lead in responding to what Jiajing said just now.

"What about you, do you understand?"

Jiajing nodded, and then swept his gaze over the rest of the people one by one.

"Your Majesty, I understand."

Seeing this, the remaining few people immediately responded tremblingly.
