Chapter 20 Secret Meeting
Although he is almost eighty years old, Prince Min Feng Minzhi still has no intention of taking the job in the clan mansion. As the oldest and oldest member of the royal family, his life is undoubtedly very comfortable, with a lot of children and grandchildren under his knees, and he always enjoys family happiness. However, for some of his considerations, Feng Minzhi's sons only hold few monthly routines in the clan manors, and their daily expenses are mostly dependent on the rewards of the local manors and emperors from time to time. They never show up in the court. Even errands are the first-class luxury and leisure laborer, so they can stand in any situation.
However, late that night, a distinguished guest came to Feng Minzhi's mansion. He saw the person who came in a light car and his black robe covered his body, and he knew that it was not an ordinary person. Feng Minzhi was also extremely cautious. Not only did he send his confidants to wait at the side door, but he even pulled all the people here in the daytime. When the person came into the yard, he immediately had a trusted guard guard from the royal palace hurriedly heading straight to the study.
Feng Minzhi was the only one waiting anxiously in the study. When he saw the man coming in, he hurriedly went up to him and locked the door himself. Just in case, he placed all the confidants who could be arranged outside and told them not to disturb him. Although he knew that there would never be outsiders visiting late at night, it was necessary to prevent them. After a few hurried conversations, the two exchanged glances. Feng Minzhi walked straight to the bookshelf, and seemed to have a random trick. The bookshelf on both sides immediately moved away silently, revealing a small pedestal.
He carefully took off the key above and then turned around. "I didn't expect that after so many years, I still had to find the old case of that year. Alas, if you don't mention it, I would like to deliberately forget it. Suifang, are you really sure that these things have been done by that person?" Feng Minzhi's already old face was sad, as if he had recalled the past, "I was born with the same roots, why are we too anxious to fight each other? Can the imperial family be safe for a moment?"
The man in black robe sighed and took off his outer robe. He saw his almost gray hair, which was only a little younger than Feng Minzhi. He was the elder of the two dynasties. He and Feng Minzhi had very little contact with each other, but today they suddenly met. What they discussed was naturally not a trivial matter. The two of them stared at the key at the same time for a while, and then Hai Guanyu said sadly: "The things changed so quickly back then. No one expected that Prince Xian Feng Huanyu would fall so quickly, so I don't think that the matter was going to make a big deal. Unexpectedly, when he picked up the Jiang family, he ran away. Now it's really strange."
Seeing Feng Minzhi's face changed drastically, he quickly comforted him: "Your Majesty, don't be too worried. When you were entrusted by the late emperor and the Concubine Ligui before, you were ordered by the emperor and the later emperor, you naturally could not forget the law of the country with personal affection. Although it is common to say that success, kings and defeats are common, the emperor is the crown prince personally appointed by the late emperor. It is obvious that the prince cannot act rebellious because of losing power. This matter is definitely not something you have to do with you."
Feng Minzhi shook his head dejectedly, "I have never been involved in the government affairs for so many years, just to avoid these bad things. I didn't expect that I could not escape this twilight year. Sui Fang, you don't have to comfort me. I am just a custodian, and the responsibility I bear is just trivial. If this matter is really revealed, I am afraid that your life will be difficult to protect. Although your two granddaughters are both adults, Hai Cong Rui cannot leave you. Do you really plan to ignore the consequences?" He was already surprised that Hai Guanyu suddenly had a very serious attitude. At this time, he saw that the old face was filled with a little death aura, and he knew it in his heart.
"Your Highness, you're not worth it." Hai Guanyu seemed to have not heard Feng Minzhi's beating, "I'm old too. What's there to be afraid of when I'm in the coffin? As long as no one makes trouble, it will ruin the country and ruin the good days of my two granddaughters. What's the point of being upset?" He stared into Feng Minzhi's eyes deeply and said word by word, "Your Highness, since the key has been taken out, you can hand it over to me, right?"
Feng Minzhi struggled for a while before handing over the key, but when he touched Hai Guanyu's palm, he shrank back. "No, I can't let you act so recklessly. After all, it's not just your promise to the late emperor back then, but also I also accepted the entrustment. If you made it straight to the emperor and added evidence from things, I'm afraid that a secret secret would involve many people. The furious emperor is not a monarch who is usually full of rationality. If you make a mistake, you and I will be a sinner forever. Follow the side, if it is not a last resort, you should not be careless!" Feng Minzhi persuaded earnestly.
Hai Guanyu was still calm, but there was a hint of undetectable worry hidden inside. He didn't say anything, but just looked at the key in Feng Minzhi's hand, and his determination was still so firm. After a long confrontation, Feng Minzhi had to helplessly send the key to Hai Guanyu, "Forget it, I can't tell you, but don't forget one thing, that place cannot be entered by your own seal. I, Zongzheng, have to accompany you." A trace of cunning that was inconsistent with my age suddenly appeared on his face.
Feng Wuhen naturally didn't know that there was such a strange meeting in Prince Min's mansion. That night he finally took time to talk to his wives. Although he couldn't keep it warm together, it was rare to have such a moment. A few snacks, a pot of fragrant tea, and a night with only five people seemed warm and comfortable.
"Ruoxin, your actions that night are always circulating in the palace. I heard that you broke into your mother's bedroom late at night? Fortunately, my father didn't misunderstand that you and I were having trouble, otherwise you would have suffered." Feng Wuhen couldn't help feeling guilty when he saw Hai Ruoxin's thin appearance, but the other wives were there, so he couldn't act too much, so he could only make fun of it.
Sure enough, Hai Ruoxin suddenly got angry, glared at him fiercely, threw the snacks in his hand into the tea tray, and then complained: "You dare to say it? If I hadn't told the matter so seriously from my father and mother, and brought those two guys there, can you be trusted by your father like this now? You are still behaved when you get the cheap. If you had known you would have let you lie on the sickbed for a few more days!"
The other three women couldn't help but laugh. Feng Wuhen's current popularity has made them almost forget the panic at the beginning. Now they are not at work on those noble ladies all day long. Hai Ruoxin, the real princess, was so tired that she almost lay down and could only complain in front of others. Although the women were serving the same husband, everyone knew that if they were not careful, they would be doomed. Therefore, no one was willing to do housework, and the entire palace was considered a solid piece.
"Sister is right. Your Highness will tell us to joke with us as soon as he recovers, and he doesn't know how hard the other person worked at the beginning." Hai Ruolan curled her lips disdainfully, "If my sister and I were not busy with you outside, how could we have the safe life now? You have to figure out that if you were the powerful and snorted in the capital, if you really lie for a few months, anyone would have forgotten you, hum!" She probably remembered Xiao Yun's different faces, snorted heavily, and then bit her ears with her sister Hai Ruolin. The two of them didn't know what funny things they said, and they were all happy. At this time, they were all personal maids serving them, and they didn't have to consider their demeanor, so Feng Wuhen could make them mess around.
Yue Qiyan smiled slightly, and then said, "Your Highness is indeed our sisters these days. Now you are the top prize and another reward. Even the Governor of Zhili has to make a decision. You can get some benefits for us, right?" She glanced at the other three girls and reached out to take over Hongru next to her, "Even those who run errands can't compare to us. If you are tired, you can't afford to pay!" Hongru was stunned at first, and then nodded in unison.
These words made the Hai sisters very interested. Both of them were people who didn't like mundane affairs. Hai Ruolan always revolved around her daughter, and Hai Ruolin was always fun. When encountering difficult things, she gave them to the quiet Yue Qiyan. If it really didn't work, she would even bring Hong Ru. Only then did she realize that it was difficult to deal with people. They were all pampered and noble ladies. Although they had gullies in their hearts, they naturally could not match Yue Qiyan who grew up in business transactions, and they were not as good as Hong Ru, who had experienced the warmth and coldness of humanity in the deep palace where they were intrigued. Therefore, they were particularly dissatisfied with the pain of these days.
Feng Wuhen smiled bitterly and shook his head, looking helpless. "Okay, I will follow whatever you say. As long as I can do it, let alone the stars in the sky, even if I pick the moon off." As soon as he finished his words, he heard Hai Ruolan mutter "No sincerity!" She has become much cheerful in the royal palace in recent years, so she doesn't speak as concealed as before, and often imitates her sister without any scruples.
When the girls were laughing, Feng Wuhen was also immersed in this rare moment. However, he naturally did not dare to indulge himself in such a childlike manner. Therefore, he only stayed with him for a while and asked about his wives' affairs. There were quite a few noble ladies coming and going to the royal palace these days, and they had far more friends than asking for office for their husbands. According to him, with their eyes and wife to see their husbands, he should have a few candidates.
