Chapter 148
Quan Lu saluted and replied, "To answer your Majesty's question, Grand Eunuch Hong was keeping watch over you outside yesterday. Maybe he caught some cold at that time, so he felt a bit feverish this morning."

“Not only can’t I get up, but I’ve been talking nonsense.”

Emperor Chen raised his eyebrows slightly and opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he closed his mouth and frowned.

This cooking was also done too skillfully.

In the past, the person who stood guard outside the palace for him was Hong Xi, and everything was safe and sound. But it happened that he caught a cold last night and had a fever. Now even if he wanted to ask, he couldn't hear the answer for the time being.

If he remembered correctly, the imperial concubine and Hong Xi had always had close contacts.

When the Peacock Terrace incident happened, Concubine Wan Gui was able to deliver the sweet soup in such a timely manner just when he was in a calmer mood. It was not due to Hong Xi, and he didn't believe what he said.

Not to mention that after that, whenever he looked down on the Wan family, Hong Xi would always say a few nice words for them in an understatement, making him have a better view of the Wan family again. Some.

The more Emperor Chen thought about it, his frown became tighter.

When the seeds of doubt accidentally fall on fertile soil, just a few drops of rain are enough to make the vines grow wildly.

Just like when Concubine Wan Gui showed up in the study in time to deliver sweet soup and took away Wan Youde, it was just a trivial matter before I noticed it, but now because of Quan Lu's casual words, this trivial matter became It became a big deal.

Emperor Chen was silent and thought for a long time before he spoke again, "You will handle these two things for me later."

Quan Lu heard the words, hurriedly bowed and saluted, and responded in a low voice

"First thing, you go and find Gu Jinyu for me later. I have something to ask him." As Emperor Chen said, he turned to look at Quan Lu. After Quan Lu agreed, he He said again, "And the second thing..."

"You will have people go directly to investigate what happened last night later, but -"

As he spoke, Emperor Chen paused slightly. Quan Lu looked up at him. After looking at each other for a long time, Emperor Chen's voice continued, "This matter needs to be hidden from Hong Xi and the concubine. Do you understand?"

Quan Lu nodded and responded in a low voice.

After finishing speaking, Emperor Chen leaned back on the dragon chair, raised his hands a little tiredly and rubbed the center of his brows, and said in a low voice, "Go when you understand."

Quan Lu bowed again and then walked out of the study.

When the Wan family's balance in Emperor Chen's heart tilted a little again, Wan Youde and Li Ruyue were confronting the imperial master at this time.

The Imperial Master looked at the two people in front of him who looked like Spicy Head, and his heart became irritated without even realizing it.

Last night, his original intention was just to give those new works a chance to go out and practice, and a little girl like Princess Linlang who was not good at martial arts happened to be the best candidate for practice.

This not only allows them to maintain a sense of killing, but also prevents future troubles for him. After all, no one knows what Princess Linlang heard.

But who knows, two Cheng Yaojin came out on the way, not only saving Princess Linlang, but even took away one of his works!
Thinking of this, the Imperial Master's expression became even worse.

Wan You Deben, who was on the side, had already spoken dryly, and his temper had calmed down a bit. As a result, when he saw the expression of the national teacher, he jumped up and shouted sullenly, "Changhe! Your expression is so hot!" What do I mean?"

The Imperial Master was even more irritated by Wan Youde's yelling. He couldn't suppress the impatience on his face. He frowned and flicked his sleeves and said, "What do you mean? What can it mean?"

With that said, the Imperial Master stood up and strode out, loudly saying, "Come, see your guests off!"

As soon as he finished speaking, before the servants of the Imperial Prefect's Mansion entered the room, Wan Youde's even more angry voice came from inside the room, "Chang He, you old bald ass! You are so ungrateful!"

As he spoke, a teacup full of hot tea hit the Imperial Master on the back of the head.

The imperial master was staggered by the tea cup and was drenched with tea leaves. The anger in his heart could no longer be suppressed. He turned around and shouted at Wan Youde, "What old bald donkey?!"

"I studied under the Taoist Master Zixian of the East China Sea when I was seven years old. I am a Taoist, a Taoist! Not a monk!"

"Tch, I'm still studying under Taoist Zi Xian." Wan Youde curled his lips disdainfully and said, "What's wrong with Taoist Zi Xian? Even if he's not an old bald donkey, he's just an old Taoist!"

"You are a master of deceit and abduction. You don't know when things are going wrong, but your secrets must not be revealed. Do you think I don't know about your tricks?"

"Wan Youde! Don't bully others too much!"

The Imperial Master's voice became more and more angry. He almost gritted his teeth and spoke word by word, "Don't you know why there is so much resentment against the Wan family outside now?"

"I said at the time that everything about the Peacock Terrace can be suspended, but you must personally check the materials used, otherwise accidents will easily occur."

"Then what? Then you took care of it?!"

"Who said I didn't care?! I just trusted others a few times!"

"Just a few times?" The Imperial Master sneered slightly, "Oh, I'm afraid it's just a few times."

"Old bald donkey, I warn you to speak carefully!"

"How many times have I told you! I am a Taoist, a Taoist! Not a monk!"

……

Hearing the increasingly fierce quarrel in the room, the servant outside who was about to walk in suddenly stopped in his tracks.

Oops, is this something he can't hear, or is it something he can't hear?

Will he be dragged to the backyard by the Imperial Preceptor for listening to these inappropriate words?

That place in the backyard is really...

Thinking of this, the servant stood there and shuddered slightly.

The backyard of the National Teacher's Mansion is a place that all their servants cannot set foot in. Often only servants who have made mistakes will be brought into the backyard by the National Teacher.

The servants who entered the backyard could still hear their screams at first, but gradually the sounds disappeared little by little.

Once, some of them were so curious that they couldn't help but want to take a look.

But just as the companion climbed up the wall, a hand suddenly stretched out from the courtyard and grabbed him in. Then he only heard his companion scream, and then there was no more movement.

At that time, all of them were frightened. Everyone shivered in the woods outside the backyard and did not dare to take another step inside.

And his hearing has always been better than others. At that time, he still remembered that he vaguely heard some sounds of tearing flesh and biting bones.

The servant became more and more frightened as he thought about it. After much deliberation, he finally decided to pretend that he had never heard the Imperial Master's instructions from the beginning.

In this way, at least the Imperial Master will only rebuke him and not say anything more.

The movement in the National Teacher's Mansion soon reached the ears of Old Master Su.

Su Hua, who was on the side, also heard it. She was stunned for a while, then she opened her eyes slightly and looked at Old Mrs. Su and said, "Grandpa, what on earth did you do to make them start to quarrel?"

Seeing Su Hua's eyes full of surprise and admiration, Mr. Su puffed out his chest slightly, stroked his beard and laughed loudly, "It's just a little trick, hahaha."

Su Hua was about to say something else, when Linlang jumped in from outside and said, "Little Emperor Aunt, Little Emperor Aunt, Little Emperor is awake. Do you want to come with me and take a look?"
