Yongrenfang, the back residence of Shen Mansion.

On the waterside pavilion in the southeast corner, Shen Danmo was leaning on a goose-neck pillow, resting his chin with his left hand, looking boredly at the pool water blown by the autumn wind.

The two maids stood quietly next to them, their postures as if they were carved from the same mold, and their breathing was very light.

The sound of footsteps came from behind. The maids turned their heads to look, and quickly knelt down and saluted: "Master."

Silent Cloud said in a gentle tone: "You guys go down first."

"Yes." The two maids quickly exited the waterside pavilion.

Shen Danmo had already stood up and saluted, "I've met daddy."

Silent Cloud smiled and waved his hands, walked to the edge of the water pavilion platform, put his hands behind his back, looked up to the southeast, his eyes seemed to be able to see through the warm autumn sun and see a lively mansion somewhere in the square.

"What are daddy looking at?" Shen Danmo walked to stand next to him and asked curiously.

Silent Cloud said with complex eyes: "Today is the day when Pei Yue moves back to Zhongshanzi Mansion. Although His Majesty gave the house to him last year, he has been living in Luliu Mansion in the east of the city. I have been wondering when he will He returned to Beijing much earlier than I expected. Today coincides with his move to a new house, and many people are willing to go to Zhongshanzi Mansion to support him."

There was no joy or worry on his dark face, and he asked calmly: "I wonder who has gone?"

Silent Cloud said slowly: "Luo Ting and Wang Pingzhang sent people to send congratulations. Most of the noble houses in Beijing sent their children to congratulate them. Sun Qi from Shanguo Duke's Mansion and the gang of noble children who like to do business He entertains guests."

Shen Danmo chuckled and said: "The house is full of flowers and guests, it's really a raging fire cooking oil."

Silent Cloud turned to look at her and continued: "Civil officials have never had close contact with General Wu Xun, so except for Luo Ting, most of them did not respond. The only exception was Shi Jianrong, who came early in the morning Then he went to Zhongshanzi Mansion, but he didn't go in. He just chatted with Pei Yue for a few words outside the gate, and then left in a hurry."

The water rippled, and Shen Danmo curled his lips slightly and said: "Pei Yue saved his life at the court meeting, and all he got in exchange was a few gossips."

Silent Cloud smiled and said: "It is very rare for someone like Jian Rong to take the initiative to congratulate a young powerful man."

Shen Danmo shook his head and said: "It's just words. Isn't this what the censor is best at?"

Silent Cloud frowned slightly and said in a serious tone: "Mo'er, calm down."

Shen Danmo woke up and realized that his mood was restless. He lowered his head and said, "Yes."

Silent Cloud was never a strict father in front of her, especially after the unexpected death of his eldest son, he was extremely tolerant towards her. Naturally, he would not continue to reprimand her at this moment. He just said in a gentle voice: "I will have someone write a copy of what you wrote in previous years." The words are sent here in your name."

Shen Danmo's pretty face was slightly red, but she quickly reacted and looked at her father with doubtful eyes.

Silent Cloud understood what she was thinking and said softly: "You have exchanged letters with him so many times. If you don't even send a simple congratulatory gift, you will be inferior. As for the father and him, since that day If he wants to keep Pei Rongqi in front of him, there won't be much friendship left."

Shen Danmo thought about what had happened over the past year and the several actions his father had taken, and became increasingly puzzled. He couldn't help but ask: "Dad, there are things my daughter can't understand. Regardless of Pei Rong's case, Li Zi Jun's case or this Qibao Pavilion case, in fact you are helping Pei Yue, why do you have to create falsehoods to make him suspicious and make him think you have other intentions? "

Silent Cloud did not answer, but said calmly: "Although the matter of briquettes is presided over by Luo Ting, and co-organized by the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Works, he cannot be far away from the center, so the specific details are handled by his subordinates. In fact, in the final analysis, it is still Pei Yue Make the decision. Luo Ting has a great temperament and is willing to delegate power. He will not care about Pei Yue taking power. I have already told Lin He to temporarily put aside his responsibilities as a cadre and lead a group of people out of Beijing to keep an eye on Pei Yue at all times. I hope he will Don't make mistakes."

Shen Danmo shook his head and said, "I don't understand."

Silent Cloud looked at her with concern, smiled and said: "I tell you this in advance to prevent you from having random thoughts. Mo'er, no matter what happens, you must stay calm and don't lose control of yourself."

He paused for a moment and said in a complicated tone: "As for the reason why I did this for my father, you will understand it in the future."

"My daughter has remembered it."

Shen Danmo lowered his head and responded, a trace of girlish sadness drifting unconsciously in his eyes.

…

Prince Lu's Mansion.

The laughter and laughter of the past have disappeared. The servants in the house are cautious, not even daring to let out their breath. They walk as lightly as ghosts, for fear that they will become the next unlucky guy to be killed with a stick.

In the side hall, the well-known eldest prince sat with an indifferent expression, looking at the chief minister Li Jinyan who was bowing in front of him and said: "So, none of the three coaches in the Beijing camp sent anyone to send congratulations?"

Beads of sweat appeared on Li Jinyan's forehead, and he replied cautiously: "Your Majesty, not only the three coaches, but also Cheng'an Hou Lu Min and Chengyi Hou Guo Kaishan did not send anyone to Zhongshan Zifu."

Liu Xian snorted coldly. Although he could still remain calm on his face, his tightly clenched hands betrayed his true state of mind.

As the most beloved prince of Emperor Kaiping, the dignified prince, he was treated harshly by a bastard boy. How could he endure this tone? Although Emperor Kaiping did not punish him severely, he just asked him to study behind closed doors for half a year. But his dignity was really trampled to the ground, not to mention that Qibao Pavilion was sealed and Xu Song was imprisoned in Taishitai Pavilion, which was a very serious loss to him.

The princess had always been respectful and considerate, and she had not stopped crying in the past few days. Although she did not dare to complain in front of him, her pitiful appearance made him annoyed and angry, so he had no choice but to come to live in the side hall and simply ignore her.

Liu Xian recalled Pei Yue's helpless and angry posture that day in the bamboo house, as if an invisible hand was slapping him in the face.

Especially today, when I heard that Pei Yue had returned to the capital to live in Zhongshanzi Mansion, many dignitaries in the capital sent congratulatory gifts, including Duke Pingzhang of Wei State, which made Liu Xian even more furious. If it weren't for the confidants around Emperor Kaiping that day. The supervisor told him not to leave the house, and Liu Xian would never just watch Pei Yue enjoy this scenery.

"Is there any result to what I asked you to inquire about?" Liu Xian asked coldly.

Li Jinyan quickly replied: "Your Majesty, I have found out clearly that the guy will leave the capital in ten days, and his first stop will be Yongzhou."

Liu Xian sneered several times, turned to look at the strong man standing next to him, and said through gritted teeth: "Nian Xu, did you hear it?"

The strong man knelt down on one knee and said in a loud voice: "What should I do? Your Majesty, please tell me."

Liu Xian's eyes filled with murderous intent, and he said slowly: "Bring a group of people out of Beijing and find an opportunity to kill him for me!"

The strong man named Nian Xu had no fluctuation in his eyes, as if he had been ordered to kill a chicken. He said with a dull expression: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will bring his head back."

"Very good, come on down."
