Late at night, the palace was still brightly lit.

In a deep and dim corridor, Li Mengzhou, who was signaled by the eunuch's eyes, quietly left the palace where he was attending the banquet, but he did not walk out a few steps. A blurred figure stood under the deep corridor. The eunuch who led the way frowned slightly because the man was not His Majesty the Emperor.

"I want to say something to Mr. Qi, don't worry, it won't take too long."

There were lanterns hanging on the eaves of the corridor. When the man appeared under the lantern, Fan Wuwei's fat face was revealed. He looked at the eunuch with a smile, very kind.

The eunuch hesitated for a moment, then turned around and said to Li Mengzhou, "That little one is waiting for you."

He stood for a distance, but kept staring out of the corner of his eyes.

Fan Wuwei did not let the eunuch stand further. He looked at Li Mengzhou with a smile and said, "Although this banquet was to invite young monks from all over the world, the main purpose was actually the most suitable opportunity that Your Majesty wants to see you."

Li Mengzhou said in surprise: "Even if he knew that Your Majesty wanted to see me, I never thought that this banquet was just specially arranged by Your Majesty to see me. When will I have such a great face?"

There was an eunuch standing there, and Fan Wuwei said this, which explained many problems. Li Mengzhou had no reason to ask how Fan Wuwei knew that His Majesty wanted to see him. He was just really curious. Even if His Majesty wanted to figure out some things, there was no need to make such a big noise, just to see him as simple as this.

Fan Wuwei patted his shoulder and said, "You should be very clear about this kind of thing."

Li Mengzhou remained silent.

Of course he could realize the reason, but he was still a little confused about His Majesty’s actions. It is naturally easy for His Majesty to meet someone. Is it because His Majesty the Emperor cared about Bu Erdong very much, or did he want to eliminate the people related to Bu Erdong without knowing it?

Fan Wuwei didn't know what Li Mengzhou was thinking, but suddenly approached him and said in a low voice: "I know you are Qingjiu in Tianshu Courtyard. I believe you also know very well how I took the position of the head of the Water Mirror Secretariat. Your purpose of coming to the capital is not simple, but I am not that pure either. Some things are not convenient for me to tell you. When you meet Your Majesty, you will naturally understand that I just want to tell you that Xu Hexian may attack me in the near future. I can guarantee that he will live before the Thousand Sea Realm will open tomorrow, but I can't say it after that. If necessary, you have to help me."

Li Mengzhou stared at Fan Wuwei's greasy fat face that came over, pushed him away with disgust and said, "How do you know that Xu Hexian is going to attack you? What is the reason?"

Fan Wuwei said with a smile: "Tianshu Academy and Xuanzhengsi have been in trouble for a long time, and Qi Xiaoran, the former head of the Water Mirror Department, was not dead. The spy from Tianshu Academy has been pursuing it and must bring Qi Xiaoran's body back. Although Xu Hexian is very loyal to His Majesty on the surface, he has many problems in secret. I have not found any evidence for the time being, but Xu Hexian must have noticed that he cannot sit and wait for death. Killing me is the only solution to the problem."

Li Mengzhou looked at Fan Wuwei very strangely. He knew that Xu Hexian was going to kill him, but he could still laugh. He was really a strange person.

He also had some grudges with Xu Hexian in the capital. It was nothing to help Fan Wuwei, but he didn't want to get involved in the court. Although he refused Fan Wuwei, he did not agree. He just made a joke and said perfunctorily, and then said, "Your Majesty can't be anxious. Let's talk about your affairs later."

Fan Wuwei still smiled and said, "It's okay, you go and do it first."

......

"Mr. Seven."

Fan Wuwei had just left, and the eunuch was about to step forward, but his call made him take back the steps he took. He looked at Li Mengzhou, who was also surprised, and said softly: "Mr. Qi is very busy."

His Majesty the Emperor wanted to see Li Mengzhou, even if there was a banquet to cover up, it would not be possible to hide it from everyone. However, the eunuch did not expect that someone would appear one after another on the road, so that he would not dare to say anything.

Li Mengzhou glanced at the eunuch, then frowned and turned to look at the person who called him. Chu Canglan walked out of the hall.

He looked at the eunuch who was standing far away curiously and asked Li Mengzhou in confusion: "Mr. Qi is there something wrong?"

Li Mengzhou felt that the way His Majesty the Emperor chose to see him was really bad, so it would be better to go see him directly.

He did not reply, but Chu Canglan did not continue to ask, but just said with a smile: "Actually, I came from the Western Jin Dynasty, mainly for Mr. Qi. The opening of the Thousand Seas of your country was only heard on the road. Yang Qi challenged Mr. Qi, which was just a normal exchange. He was arrogant in his heart and was unwilling to accept losing to Mr. Qi, but he had absolutely no malice."

Li Mengzhou still frowned.

Chu Canglan said again, "Then I just said it straight to the point. I think Mr. Qi is also very clear. Gu Shiyan, who lives under the same roof with you, is a student of Longhui Academy in the Western Jin Dynasty, and naturally is my junior sister. Some time ago, someone visited the Western Jin Dynasty to secretly investigate the matter of his junior sister. Although I don't believe his nonsense, it is very strange that the junior sister I know is able to live with a man in Jiangguo, where I am unfamiliar with him. So I became interested in Mr. Qi, and I don't know where my junior sister is now?"

Li Mengzhou was a little surprised. The so-called someone would go to the Western Jin Dynasty to investigate Gu Shiyan was something he expected, and it must have been Qin Chengyi's actions. Thinking that his junior sister lived under the same roof with a man in Jiangguo, Chu Canglan and Yang Qi's attitude towards him could be explained clearly.

He pondered for a moment and said, "Although Gu Shiyan and I live in Chaosi Lane, we only eat and live together, and there is nothing else. Moreover, she is not in the capital now. I don't know where she went. She often goes missing, ranging from one month to half a month. So although we live in Chaosi Lane together, most of them have never met each other. I just provided her with a place to stay in the capital."

Speaking of this, Li Mengzhou looked at Chu Canglan with a little playful thought, "Your Highness the Second Prince is so caring, not just because of the relationship between senior brothers and sisters, right? Could it be that your Highness likes Gu Shiyan?"

Chu Canglan was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said with a smile: "Mr. Qi is thinking too much, but I can trust what you said. It seems that the person who went to the Western Jin Dynasty to investigate was indeed a lie. It is said that he is from your Jiangguo court. Judging from his words, he seems to be not a friend of Mr. Qi, and he needs to be cautious."

Li Mengzhou bowed and said, "Thank you, Your Highness, the Second Prince, for reminding me that I was anxious to go to the thatched cottage, so I lost my companion first."

He didn't have the idea of ​​continuing to talk, so he made an excuse and planned to leave, and he didn't have to worry about whether Chu Canglan believed it or not.

Chu Canglan did not try to keep him, but just looked at Li Mengzhou's departure back and witnessed the eunuch following Li Mengzhou's steps, silent with a smile on his face.

"Your Highness, I think Li Mengzhou doesn't have any truth in his mouth. Regardless of whether he has anything to do with Senior Sister Gu, during the banquet, he must have something to do with the eunuchs in the palace."

Yang Qi appeared beside Chu Canglan, but he was still a little emotional and stared at Li Mengzhou's back fiercely.

Chu Canglan smiled and said, "If Mr. Qi had never been to the palace and wanted to go to the cottage and had to have an eunuch lead the way, it would be reasonable. But no matter what his real purpose was, what had to do with us? The matter in Jiang's country is very complicated, and the court and the practice mountain gate are entangled. Although other countries have no idea of ​​taking war for the time being, if there is a problem in Jiang's country, the tiger and wolf who have long been hungry will pounce over without hesitation."

The Emperor of the Western Jin Dynasty did not have the ambition to unify the world, but it does not mean that everyone in the Western Jin Dynasty had no ambitions. Chu Canglan did not want to involve the affairs of Jiang Guoli.

......

The eunuch did not lead Li Mengzhou to the imperial study, but walked towards a very remote corner.

As the guards inspected the palace disappeared and the whole atmosphere became very quiet, Li Mengzhou couldn't help but ask, "Your Majesty is here?"

The eunuch smiled but said nothing. When he arrived at a very old yard, he stood still and bowed and said, "Please, Mr. Seven."

Li Mengzhou looked at the courtyard in front of him that seemed to be abandoned for a long time. He could not have imagined that there was such a place in the palace. He thought it was all brilliant temples.

He raised his legs and stepped across the yard, and there was no light inside, which was very cold.

The fallen leaves are almost covered, and the trees are also dry, and a figure stands under a dry tree.

Li Mengzhou calmed down, bowed respectfully, and said, "I have met Your Majesty."

The figure turned around and he was wearing black gold clothes, which only the emperor could wear.

He raised his hand slightly and said with a smile: "No gift."

Li Mengzhou looked up and saw, as expected, the man standing in front of him was the luxuriously dressed man he had just arrived in the capital and saw in Tongming Lane.

His Majesty the Emperor stared at Li Mengzhou's face and smiled slightly, "This is our second meeting."

Li Mengzhou was silent for a moment and said, "I didn't realize it at that time, but then I thought about Jiang Yuanshou's attitude, so I had rough guesses."

His Majesty the Emperor looked at Li Mengzhou's seemingly calm face and said, "Your state of mind is quite calm. I have been watching you since the meeting in Tongming Lane. I think when Qing came to Chaosi Lane to find you, you will basically tell you everything you can say. You don't need to be vigilant about me. After all, if I want to kill you, you will be dead in Tongming Lane."

He looked around the abandoned yard and continued, "You should be curious about why I saw you here. When I was a prince, I often came here because this was the main courtyard when Tianshu Court was just established. It was not until Jiang Tingyu officially took over the first position of the yard that Tianshu Courtyard changed its place."

Li Mengzhou remained silent.

His Majesty the Emperor didn't care. He was walking in the abandoned yard, as if recalling the lively scene here. "Jiang Tingyu and I met Jianghu. We were all very young at that time. If it was Su Bieli and Han Yi that was amazed the world ten years ago, then in an earlier period, Jiang Tingyu also dominated the world in the younger generation."

"It is a bit exaggerated that he was defeated by a big thing in the quiet mountains and seas. Although it is a bit exaggerated, the facts are not inferior. At that time, Jiang Tingyu rarely had any opponents in the younger generation, and even the older generation of monks were defeated by him many times. It was not until a great monk in the fifth realm met Jiang Tingyu that he was defeated for the first time."

"Jiang Tingyu was indeed seriously injured, and it was indeed the reason why he came to the court, but he was not beaten and abolished. It was because the defeated person appeared in the capital. I just took the opportunity to let him go to Tianshu Courtyard to help me."

His Majesty the Emperor turned around and looked at Li Mengzhou and said softly: "The person who defeated Jiang Tingyu was not from the quiet mountains and seas, but from a man named Li Daoling."
