Wang Zhixuan lowered his head and looked at Fang Jinyan, who was sleeping soundly. She had fair and smooth skin, delicate face, and a quiet expression, as if no one had ever hurt such a beautiful woman.

"Let's forget it. I wonder if the Fang family will cause trouble if they know about it, so..."

Leng Yi interrupted Wang Zhixuan and said: "I think so too, and there is one more thing I have thought about for a long time and want to come over and talk to you."

Wang Zhixuan said: "Sir, just say what you say, and my subordinates will definitely do it."

Leng Yi glanced at Fang Jinyan and said, "Take her back to the room and let Xi Yan watch. Let's go for a walk."

Wang Zhixuan easily picked up the thin Fang Jinyan and followed Leng Yi out.

There are three gardens in Leng Mansion, one in Zhexiang Garden, one in the second lady’s yard, and the other is their back garden. This back garden is also the largest garden. There is an artificial lake in it, and various exotic flowers and plants are planted there.

It's a rare breed.

Leng Yi took Wang Zhixuan to the island in the middle of the lake in the back garden. There was a small pavilion on it, where wine and food had been placed.

Leng Yi walked to the table and motioned to Wang Zhixuan to sit down opposite him. Wang Zhixuan bowed and sat down after saluting.

"Sir, why are you avoiding Jin Yan on such an important matter, and even preparing special food and drinks? I really don't dare to be a low-ranking official." Wang Zhixuan said, cupping his hands.

Leng Yi smiled and poured a glass of wine for Wang Zhixuan himself. Wang Zhixuan was flattered and quickly stood up to thank him. Leng Yi waved his hand and said: "Today you and I will drink by ourselves, so that no unnecessary people will stand around and become an eyesore."

Wang Zhixuan sat down again, and Leng Yi said again: "This can be regarded as a practice for you and Jinyan. She is not well now, but if she is in good health, she still has a good drinking capacity." After speaking, he raised his glass.

The two of them drank up the wine in their glasses. Wang Zhixuan said: "I have also seen Jin Yan's drinking capacity. She is really a woman who can't be compared to men."

After saying that, the two people laughed.

Leng Yi said: "Yesterday, when I went to Ciming Palace to pick up Xiyan, I heard something." After saying that, he grabbed a few peanuts from the plate and put them in his mouth to chew.

Wang Zhixuan glanced at Leng Yi, but couldn't see any clues and couldn't think of anything. So he had to say: "Is it related to Jin Yan?"

Leng Yi said: "That's right. Fang Shuli had a miscarriage. I heard that someone put medicine in her sugar water."

Wang Zhixuan said in shock: "When did it happen? When Xiaguan saw Chang Zai a few days ago, he didn't even mention it. And although he didn't treat this concubine very well, he never treated me badly. How could it..."

Leng Yi said: "And this matter was not told to me by Chang Zai. It was said by a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy who was Fang Ziqing's former subordinate."

Wang Zhixuan sneered and said: "A grown man talks about other people's rights and wrongs in a plain manner. I'm afraid he can't do it unintentionally."

Leng Yi nodded, raised his cup and had another drink with Wang Zhixuan, and then said: "He told me because I am now Fang Jinyan's eldest brother and Bai Hong's sister."

Wang Zhixuan asked curiously: "Is there someone who really wants to have something to do with Jinyan in this matter? She has been away from the Fang family for such a long time and everything has been peaceful. Who wants to cause trouble?"

Leng Yi said: "I have thought about this problem too. I can't think of a reason. I just mentioned it casually to find a topic. People talk about the family's shortcomings, so let's talk about it too, just to relieve boredom."

However, in Wang Zhixuan's view, Leng Yi was not someone who just took one thing to relieve his boredom, and this matter should have more to say, so he stood up and cupped his hands and said: "Please make it clear, no matter what it is, the lower official will take care of it."

I am willing to do it for Jinyan."

Leng Yi motioned him to sit down and said with a smile: "It's really okay. I came to see you today and I have another important matter to discuss with you. It's just that Fang Shuli is Fang Jinyan's eldest sister, so I didn't give it to you until I remembered it.

Tell me, you are leaving anyway, and no one will throw dirty water on Jin Yan again. It’s good to leave early..." After saying that, he lowered his head and picked up the vegetables to eat.

Wang Zhixuan sat down slowly, looked at Leng Yi's expression, and thought to herself, since Fang Jinyan has had nothing to do with the Fang family for so long, is Fang Shuli really having a miscarriage now? If it is, really

Does anyone want to use this incident to throw dirty water on Fang Jinyan? If not, then what exactly does Leng Yi want to explain to himself?

Leng Yi took a few bites of the food and saw Wang Zhixuan sitting there thoughtfully without saying anything. He felt funny in his heart, but he didn't show it, and said to himself: "I just want you to figure out what I mean. Anyway, you and Li Changzai

You are your best friend. How dare I make fun of you with your good friend’s concubine? If you don’t believe me, you can ask. The most important thing is that I want you to fly away tomorrow with your beautiful face and never come back again.

Yes, there are always people in this place who will not let your wife go, whether she is from the Fang family or not."

"By the way, I heard that the Empress Dowager asked you to enter the palace at noon yesterday?" Leng Yi asked unhurriedly, not looking at Wang Zhixuan, but just drinking and eating by himself.

Wang Zhixuan nodded and said: "It's just some instructions, and then some political affairs in Hangzhou. I will keep them all in mind and don't dare to forget them."

Leng Yi smiled, looked up at Wang Zhixuan, and said, "I always thought you were smart."

Wang Zhixuan saw the way Leng Yi looked at her, so cold and sharp, like a murderous knife that was about to pierce her at any time. She couldn't help but tremble, but there was nothing else in her heart, and there was no word of guilt.

, only then did he dare to look directly at the other person, but he was confused about what Leng Yi meant when he said these words. Although he had been with Leng Yi in a trance for so many years, and he was not that kind of stupid person, Leng Yi was right.

He entrusted him with an important task, but now Leng Yi's words really confused him.

"My subordinates are not talented, I have made you laugh." Wang Zhixuan felt sweat on his forehead, and couldn't help but reach out to wipe it away.

Leng Yi smiled: "Actually, it's not that you are unsmart, but when it comes to Fang Jinyan's matter, you blindly care about her thoughts. Instead, you let your emotions blind you, and you can't see clearly some things that should be seen clearly.

.”

Wang Zhixuan cupped his hands and said: "I am stupid, I hope you will make it clear."

Leng Yi got up and walked to the guardrail, and Wang Zhixuan also got up and walked over. The two stood together, looking at the scenery of the lake and mountains, and the gentle breeze.

"What do you think the Empress Dowager meant when she told the Emperor that she wanted you to go to Hangzhou to be the governor half a year ago?" Leng Yi asked.

Wang Zhixuan thought for a while and said: "I really don't know. My father once told me that an official should not just look at the present, but should take a longer view. In fact, to be honest, if Yudi hadn't been in poor health all the time,

Well, my subordinates think that his character is more suitable for being an official, and they are willing to be a laid-back nobleman, wandering around the world without paying attention to government affairs."

Leng Yi let out a long sigh, put his hands on the railing, and said: "Who wants to fight with others and himself all day long? But I do believe what you said. Your character is not suitable for an official. The governor of Hangzhou has always been a court official.

Officials believe that the most lucrative official position is a land of plenty, a waterway, and the imperial court's breadbasket. Such an important position is given to a deputy judge of the Criminal Court. Do you think it is the credit of your parents or yourself?

?”

Wang Zhixuan did not dare to speak falsely, so he could only say with shame: "The Empress Dowager and the Emperor have always been kind to my parents and treated me kindly, but my subordinates also understand that these two points alone are not enough to let them go to such an important person.

I want to be an official, but my subordinates don’t understand why the Empress Dowager did this.”

Leng Yi looked into the distance for a long time and said: "I actually didn't want to understand before, and I also asked the emperor what he meant. However, although the emperor is young and talented, he is very wise, but sometimes it is not enough for a person to be smart, and more is needed.

It was tempered and tempered by time and events. The emperor said that it was time to cultivate a right-hand man for himself. It seemed that he was reused, but if he was really reused, wouldn't it be wrong to keep him by his side for a few years before becoming a foreign official?

better?"

Wang Zhixuan saw that Leng Yi's analysis was sound and logical, and he couldn't help but become more suspicious of the Queen Mother and the Emperor's intentions. However, he was so blinded by joy that he really couldn't see clearly the true intentions of these people.

"After hearing what the Lord said, my subordinates were also confused, but they were still confused and couldn't stop. On the contrary, they became even more confused."

Leng Yi turned around and patted Wang Zhixuan on the shoulder with a smile, and said: "Don't worry, I only figured it out recently. After all, you are the authority, so it is normal to see clearly. Let's continue drinking. This time

After drinking the cup, I don’t know when or where, you and I can drink like this.”

Returning to his seat, Wang Zhixuan filled Leng Yi's glass with wine, raised his glass and said, "Sir, I'll give you a drink, please."

Leng Yi raised his glass and said, "Do you like the days of picking chrysanthemums under the eastern fence and leisurely seeing the southern mountains?"

Wang Zhixuan said: "That is naturally the best. I also believe that Jin Yan likes that kind of life."

Leng Yi drank a gulp first, put down his glass, and said, "If one day you can live like this, ask someone to come back and let you know. I really want to raise a glass with you under the east fence and see Nanshan leisurely."

Wang Zhixuan couldn't help but sigh: "I wonder when I can have a drink with the adults after we say goodbye tomorrow."

Leng Yi said: "Forget it, let's not talk about these sad things. Let me tell you an interesting story about the Empress Dowager."

Wang Zhixuan knew that Leng Yi was usually favored by the Empress Dowager and the Emperor, and this time the Emperor left the capital, Leng Yi even exercised the important responsibility of supervising the country. This shows that the Empress Dowager attaches great importance to Leng Yi.

"I would like to hear the details."

Leng Yi drank a glass of wine first, and while watching Wang Zhixuan pouring wine for himself, he usually spoke in a leisurely manner.

"Did you know that cats are not allowed in the harem?" Leng Yi asked first.

Wang Zhixuan smiled calmly: "To be honest, I have rarely walked in the palace in the past few years, and I really don't know much about the affairs of the harem. However, I have heard about the fact that cats are not allowed. I heard that it was the Empress Dowager.
