Hou Ye's palm heart is a black lotus

Shen Yanchuan nodded.

"You always do things cautiously."

Uncle Di has been locked up for so long, it is obvious that someone has been watching him. If he suddenly disappears, it will definitely arouse the other party's vigilance.

Now that we have taken advantage of the chaos to deal with the person, even if the other party wants to investigate, there is nothing they can do.

I'm afraid no one could have imagined that the death row prisoner who disappeared from the Ministry of Justice would be hiding in the Dingbei Marquis Mansion.

Yun Cheng looked towards the backyard and couldn't help asking, "Master, what is the identity of that man? Why did Miss Ye Er rescue him?"

Shen Yanchuan shook his head.

"He won't tell me yet. But..."

The person is being kept here now. It is unknown whether he will be willing to reveal his identity and origin after a long time.

"Let Sumu and the others take good care of him. The news that he is here must not be leaked out at all."

Yun Cheng was startled, "Yes."

……

As time passed and the weather warmed up, Beijing became more and more lively.

However, for some unknown reason, Fan Chengzhuo suddenly fell ill and had to take several days off.

When Xie Anjun heard the news, he was the first one who couldn't sit still and quietly visited the house that night.

Fan Chengzhuo originally didn't want to see him, but thinking that he still needed Xie Anjun's help with Zheng Baosu's matter, he finally invited him in.

As soon as they met, Xie Anjun was shocked.

"How did you become like this?"

It's no wonder that he reacted so strongly. It's just that Fan Chengzhuo is much thinner now than before, and his face is sallow, with dark circles under his eyes, and he looks very listless.

If you don't look carefully, you really can't recognize that this person is the former glorious Minister of Justice.

Just as Fan Chengzhuo was about to speak, he suddenly felt an itch in his throat and started coughing violently.

Seeing how he was barely able to catch his breath, it almost seemed like he was about to cough out his lungs.

Xie Anjun frowned, leaned back calmly, and a hint of disgust flashed across his eyes.

"You're coughing so badly, are you catching a cold? Didn't you ask a doctor to take a look?"

It took Fan Chengzhuo a long time to suppress his cough and his breathing gradually calmed down.

His face was already flushed red, and combined with his pale lips, it looked even more terrifying.

"I've consulted several doctors, but none of them could tell me what's wrong with me. They prescribed some medicine, but it didn't work after I took it for several days."

Fan Chengzhuo shook his head.

"Some people also say that maybe it's because of the change of seasons that makes people more susceptible to illness, and maybe they will get better on their own after a while."

Xie Anjun was skeptical, "Can't you tell what's wrong? What kind of doctors are you looking for? If it doesn't work, I can find a royal doctor for you."

After Fan Chengzhuo was demoted, his official position was reduced by several levels, so he was naturally not qualified to hire an imperial physician.

Hearing what Xie Anjun said, he hesitated for a moment, but shook his head, "I'm afraid that even if we ask the imperial physician to come, he won't be able to cure it..." Xie Anjun thought what he said was a bit strange.

If even the imperial physician can't cure it, then it must be a terminal illness! ?
But after hearing what Fan Chengzhuo said, Xie Anjun did not continue to insist - the two of them were just in a cooperative relationship, and the other person himself did not care much about his own illness, so why should he rush to do him a favor?
Especially since he was still brooding over the last time Fan Chengzhuo suddenly broke into the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery’s residence and had a huge argument with him, he was even more unwilling to bother.

Fan Chengzhuo knew that he would not come to visit without a reason, and today he suddenly came over without saying hello, so he took the initiative to ask,
"However, why did you suddenly think of coming to my place today? Did no one see you? They have been investigating closely recently."

Xie Anjun found it a little ridiculous.

"Now you know you can't attract attention? Why didn't you think of this when you went to my house to make trouble? Humph, if the people from the Dali Temple really find out about you and me, it's all because you were too careless!"

"Don't mention that. Wasn't I just anxious at the time?"

Talking about what happened that day, Fan Chengzhuo knew he was in the wrong, but it was too late to say it now.

"Where are your people? Didn't they go to stop them? How are they now?" Fan Chengzhuo asked immediately.

Xie Anjun looked at him with interest. "Tsk, you really care about your nephew. You ignore your own illness and only care about his safety?"

Fan Chengzhuo's face was ugly, and his patience was completely gone. "I don't have that much free time to play with you. If you are just here to ridicule me, you can get out now!"

Xie Anjun was annoyed by his rude retort.

"Why are you being so rude to me? Don't forget that you are no longer the Minister of Justice! You have no right to--"

"Even if I was in jail, I would still have this attitude." Fan Chengzhuo was not afraid of him. "Besides, if something really happened to me now, you would be more worried, right?"

They are all in the same boat. They have the leverage over each other. What is there to say?

Xie Anjun was so angry that his face turned blue, but he had no choice but to endure it.

"I won't argue with you. The situation in the capital is tense right now. I just came here to see why you haven't been to the court for several days. Do you know how many eyes are watching you? Zheng Baosu is your cousin! Any action you take now will arouse their suspicion, do you know that? "

Fan Chengzhuo was also annoyed, "Why could it be? Of course it's because I'm really sick! Even if they come to check, I will still say the same thing! Besides, do you think I don't want to go to the court meeting? These few days at home, I don't even know what the situation is outside! I'm also anxious!"

If he didn't go, he would have no idea what happened at the court meeting.

If it were in the past, when he was still in a high position, there would be many people who wanted to curry favor with him and would send him messages on their own initiative.

But when people are gone, they get cold to the world. Those people only flatter the powerful and bully the weak. After he fell into poverty, they couldn't even step on him once, so how could they still be friends with him?

How could Fan Chengzhu not feel upset?

Xie Anjun couldn't think of anything to refute him for a moment, so he took a deep breath and suppressed his anger. "It's not a good idea for you to be sick all the time. You should find someone to see you later! Besides, the people I sent out haven't replied yet. I don't know what's going on."

Fan Chengzhuo felt vaguely uneasy.

"It's been so long. Even if the task was not completed, you should have replied. How come there is no news at all? Could it be that the person you sent is not good enough?"

"What do you mean by that!?" Xie Anjun was also annoyed. "You came to me for help, and I helped you, but you said something like this!? This matter is of great importance, and we must choose people who are trustworthy enough! The people I carefully selected are so useless in your mouth?"

Fan Chengzhuo opened his mouth, but finally held his words back.

His already bad complexion became even uglier.

If there was any other way, he wouldn't have to swallow his anger like this!

After a while, he finally frowned and said, "If it doesn't work, send more people! In short, we must stop them outside the capital!" (End of this chapter)
