Chapter 20: When the upright and loyal thick man was broken (4)

The dinner at the General Palace went very smoothly, and the singer Ji Ningyan at the Hehuanlou halfway was also brilliant, and the guests were more than enough. The soft ear's voice was accompanied by a unique music score, but it was a rare absolute sound in the world.

When the evening banquet ended, He Jilou's singer Ji led the entourage to leave the back door, there is no need to hide and cover up, because the rule of Hehuanlou: no matter how many nights it is set up in the employer's mansion, it is not allowed to stay at night.

Qi Yan naturally returned to Hehuanlou. The next thing to do is to eat, drink, and wait for Puyang Zheng to come to his door.

The general’s palace, which returned to peace at night, was silent and silent. Except for those who patrolled the night, the people had already entered their dreams.

In the study, a residual lamp remains. After sitting at the table, Pu Yang Zhengduan carefully reviewed one document after another.

The butler stood in front of the table and reported respectfully what happened recently.

When he talked about the emperor's marriage, he kept looking up and looked at Puyang Zheng without saying anything.

Pu Yangzheng frowned, his expression was very helpless: "The emperor is not assured of me after all."

"It's common for the Son to be suspicious," the housekeeper replied.

"Can't harm the innocent girl." Pu Yangzheng didn't know what to do. "Think of all my previous wives' sudden death. Although I have no feelings, how can I feel at ease? Now the emperor once again orders to marry me. What about?"

After all, Puyang Zheng was kind.

His former wives don't talk about feelings because they haven't even been in the same room because of the war. Although Puyang Zheng was investigating, the emperor could not bear the emperor to send a girl to die again.

He didn't believe in the curse of ghosts and gods, but he suspected that there were ghosts in the general's palace!

There was a sudden movement in my mind, a thin and enchanting figure flashed by, Pu Yang Zheng was stunned, and then he looked up and asked the steward: "Do you know Qi Yan?"

The housekeeper raised his eyebrows slightly: "The general said Qi Gongzi in Hehuanlou?"

"Exactly!" Pu Yangzheng responded quickly: "Do you know him too?"

"The old slave didn't know before, but today he knows."

"Can there be an investigation?"

"It is clear from the investigation."

Those who enter the general's palace, no matter who they are, must investigate the origins of their life. This is the rule set by the old general.

"Qi Yan is not an ordinary attendant, but he is behind the scenes of Hehuanlou. He was established at a young age. On the surface, it looks like the place of the wind and the moon. In fact, it is an intelligence station that gathers all kinds of news from the rivers and lakes and the court..." The butler Suddenly there was a pause, and he asked for instructions: "There is a saying, the old slave doesn't know what to say or not.

"You said."

"The news seems to have been deliberately disclosed to the old slave. The old slave suspects that this person is the son of Qi Yan... The old slave is talkative, but what agreement did the general reach with the son of Qi?"

As soon as the words came out, there was a silence around them.

Puyang Zheng looked down, staring at the inkstone on the table case with some seriousness, wondering where his thoughts were drifting.

The butler looked at him secretly and sighed slightly, just about to say something, but saw Pu Yangzheng suddenly waved his hand and told him to go out.

The housekeeper respectfully responded and quit the study, leaving Puyang Zheng alone.

The night is cool and long alone.

In Hehuanlou, Qi Yan stood on the highest platform and smiled at the opera on the stage below. It's very interesting to sing that beautiful accent.

In the distance, a small waiter came hurriedly, and after whispering something in Qi Yan's ear, Qi Yan attracted a charming smile.

"Go, entertain the general well and don't let others know."

Quietly, the waiter retreated, but Qi Yan didn't rush away, and continued leaning on the railing to watch the singing.

He thought he would have to wait a few more days.

Since Puyang Zheng is here, everything will be easier to handle. Everything is just beginning.
