The Prodigal Son's Happy Life - Chapter 65

[Chapter 65 Entering the palace on duty]

The Emperor of Chu looked at Imperial Doctor Liu coldly and said, “The Yan Qing family was murdered in Fang Mansion, but the Qing family saw it with their own eyes?”

Hearing His Majesty call him the Qing family instead of Ai Sir, Imperial Doctor Liu subconsciously felt that something was not good.

He glanced at Fang Xiu secretly, gritted his teeth, and replied: “Although I didn’t see it with my own eyes, I saw clearly that Fang Zhonglang was about to charge at Doctor Yan with a knife.”

Fang Xiu turned his eyes to Doctor Liu. , said: “I took the knife to peel an apple for Imperial Physician Yan. How come it fell into the eyes of Imperial Physician Liu to commit murder?”

Do you dare to lie any more about

peeling apples ?

Doctor Liu looked at Fang Xiu, opened his mouth, and was about to say something.

Before he could speak, he was interrupted by Emperor Chu: “Since you didn’t see it, how could you be sure that Yan Qing’s family was harmed, and how could you come to me and cry in front of me?” When

Liu Yuyi heard this, his heart suddenly became cold, and he hurriedly knelt down. On the ground, he kowtowed: “Old minister, deserve to die.”

Emperor Chu snorted coldly, stood up, and said: “I have said before that it is a taboo for a king to listen to one side and believe the other. I have always kept it in mind. I didn’t expect that today, again “I made the same mistake,” he

sighed and continued: “I’m tired, Liu Qing’s family, you can go down.”

Liu Yuyi understood.

Yan Yuyi was not killed, so he explained that his previous words were all groundless slander.

No matter what the facts are, His Majesty no longer cares about who is really responsible. What he cares about is his

trusted ministers who deceived him.

Your Majesty is so kind and does not impose any punishment, which is extremely merciful.

If we continue to argue, it’s hard to say whether the final result will be the same as it is now.

Although I was not convinced, there was nothing I could do about it.

Liu Yuyi had a bitter look on his face and kowtowed heavily: “Old minister, please retire.”

After he left, Emperor Chu looked at Fang Xiu and said calmly: “You go down too, go back and get ready for life, and you will be on duty in the palace tomorrow.”

Fang Xiu was a little a little worried .

stupid.

What does it mean?

Didn’t Dr. Liu say that he had a stubborn illness that prevented him from serving as an official?

Although he was very reluctant, looking at Emperor Chu’s posture, even though he was as bold as Fang Xiu, he did not dare to be presumptuous anymore. He bowed and said, “I obey your order.”

After that, he slowly retreated and left Nuange.

Suddenly, only Emperor Chu and his personal eunuch Liu Cheng were left in Nuange.

Emperor Chu seemed a little tired. He sat back on the dragon chair and said softly: “Pour tea.”

Liu Cheng hurriedly filled the tea cup.

Emperor Chu picked up the tea cup, took a sip, and asked casually: “In your opinion, is this Fang Xiu really stupid, or is he pretending to be stupid?”

Liu Cheng bowed and replied: “I think that a real fool is someone who has A man of great wisdom is like General Fang Zhonglang.”

Emperor Chu turned around, glanced at Liu Cheng, shook his head, but said nothing more.

I just picked up a stack of memorials from the desk and read them carefully.

Fang Mansion.

It was late at night when we returned to the yard.

Neither Xiu’er nor Bai Xiaochun fell asleep, but were waiting for them at the door.

Fang Xiu comforted them with a few words and then returned to the room.

Running back and forth like this, no matter how much energy he had, it was already wasted.

As soon as I lay on the bed, I fell asleep.

When I opened my eyes again, it was already noon the next day.

Xiu’er had been waiting outside the room door early. When she heard the noise coming from the room, she immediately opened the door and walked in.

Yesterday, when the young master returned home, he said that he would be on duty in the palace this morning.

As the young master’s personal maid, she naturally has to take care of everything.

Therefore, she didn’t sleep well all night.

Before dawn, I got up, arranged the young master’s clothes, boiled hot water, and stood at the door waiting.

Everything is ready, just waiting for the young master to wake up.

Fang Xiu opened his eyes, but before he could regain his senses, a soft and sweet voice sounded in his ears: “Master, I will help you change your clothes.”

It was the first time he was on duty in the palace, so he naturally had to dress more carefully.

On weekdays, Fang Xiu’s clothes are all taken care of by the maid.

In the past, she was particularly concerned about this, and she was even more so today.

The jade pendants and clothing selected are all of the highest quality and well matched.

After changing clothes, I stood in front of the bronze mirror and took a look.

Fang Xiu himself couldn’t help but admire: What a gentle and elegant young man.

The little maid stood aside, looking at the young master who was dressed, her pretty face flushed, her head lowered, wondering what she was thinking.

Fang Xiu stretched out his hand to pinch her little face and said with a smile: “The young master has entered the palace. You should be well at home. Don’t run around and be bullied. There is no young master to protect you.”

The little maid was blushing. Her pretty face turned even redder, and she whispered: “Xiu’er is the young master’s personal maid, no one will bully Xiu’er.”

In this era, most personal maids became the master’s concubines, not to mention that Xiu’er was deeply loved by the young master and his wife.

The servants in the mansion naturally understood what this meant, so no one dared to bully Xiu’er.

Fang Xiu knew this very well, rubbed Xiu’er’s little head, and walked out of the yard.

Outside Fang Mansion, a carriage has been waiting for a long time.

After getting on the carriage, he waved to Xiu’er, and the carriage moved forward slowly, embarking on the road to the palace.

The imperial palace of Chu State was divided into inner city and outer city.

The inner city is the harem, which is where the royal family lives, clothed, and lived.

The outer city is where all civil and military officials work.

Eight of the sixteen pro-army guards were stationed outside the palace and were responsible for the security of the palace.

It is also the emperor’s most direct military force and the last barrier before the Emperor of Chu.

Most of the ancestors of these eight guards had the experience of serving as dragons. Compared with ordinary soldiers, their loyalty is unquestionable.

Among them, the lieutenants, lieutenants, and generals are all of high rank.

Therefore, the emperor also trusted him very much.

The carriage stopped five hundred steps from the palace and could no longer move forward.

Fang Xiu got off the carriage and walked straight into the palace.

In the past two days, people entering and exiting the palace became more frequent, and all the guards recognized this face.

Without waiting for Fang Xiu to show his badge to enter the palace, he took the initiative to let him go.

The Yulin Guard has a new general named Zuo Zhonglang, whose surname is Fang. He is the son of General An Pingbo of Dingyuan.

Among the pro-military troops, rumors spread.

Especially in the Yulin Guard camp, many people gathered together just to talk about General Fang Zhonglang.

“I heard that the new Fang Zhonglang will be a scum of the world who does all kinds of evil. He bullies men and women and does all kinds of evil. He once bullied a good woman in broad daylight.”

A young soldier who looked a little thin said to his colleagues around him with great interest. said.

Next to him, another soldier thought for a while and said, “I don’t think so. If General Fang Zhonglang is really in such a bad state, how could His Majesty give him the first place in the review?”

“Maybe Your Majesty just thinks that General Dingyuan has achieved great results through hard work. That’s why he loves his son so much?”

“General Dingyuan is not the only one who has worked so hard and accomplished so much. Why don’t the other noble disciples receive His Majesty’s love? In my opinion, General Fang Zhonglang must have something special about him! ”
