Chapter 208 [What is the Way of Heaven] (Part 2)
Qin Yutong was speechless by Hu Xiaotian's series of questions.
Long Xiyue's originally dim gaze became brighter again, and Qiqi praised: "Well said!" She slapped her in the face for fear that the world would not be messed up.
Hu Xiaotian was unreasonable and laughed: "All family words, don't laugh at me."
Long Xiyue angrily said, "Little beard, don't be rude. Miss Qin is my best friend." She was just pretending, and she naturally stood with Hu Xiaotian in her heart.
Qin Yutong said: "Eunuch Hu is a wise person, and Yutong can't tell you." It doesn't mean that Hu Xiaotian's words make sense, and Qin Yutong is not a person who can easily admit defeat.
Qiqi said: "Hu Xiaotian's words are not unreasonable. If people go with the flow and follow God's arrangements, then what's the point of living?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "The history of mankind is the history of the struggle between man and nature. In my opinion, man conquers nature!" The extremely simple truth sounds so shocking to the people of this era. Even Qiqi thinks that Hu Xiaotian's words are too arrogant.
After Hu Xiaotian said this, he felt that he had said too much, so he stood up and said goodbye: "It won't stop you from chatting. The Siyuan Bureau of Xiaomouzi has something to do, so he will take his leave first."
Long Xiyue nodded, and she didn't want Hu Xiaotian to continue talking nonsense, embarrassing Qin Yutong.
:Chang: Feng Hu Xiaotian left the palace, but saw Qiqi following him and shouted from behind: "Stop for me!"
Hu Xiaotian had no choice but to stop and said respectfully: "What are the instructions of Your Highness the Princess?"
Qiqi said: "You forgot, what did you promise me today?"
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said, "Princess, please tell me clearly. Xiaotian has too many things to promise you. I really don't know what you are talking about?"
Qiqi glared at him and said, "What did you promise me when I let that big black guy go?"
Hu Xiaotianxin said that this made me fulfill my promise? It was so fast. He smiled and said, "If you don't say it, I'll forget it."
Qiqi said, "You dare to forget!" She hooked her finger at Hu Xiaotian.
Hu Xiaotian lowered his head and bowed his head and leaned over. Qiqi lowered his voice and said, "Appoint it, I want to visit the wine cellar at night."
Hu Xiaotian was so shocked that his tongue stretched out half of it.
"What? Is it OK or not? Don't think that sticking your tongue out and pretending to be a dog can fool you."
Hu Xiaotian smiled bitterly and said, "It won't work today, Your Highness Princess. I'll arrange this matter."
Qiqi stretched out three fingers: "Three days, within three days, you must arrange this matter properly."
"must!"
When Qiqi heard him agree, she turned back to Zilan Palace. Hu Xiaotian sighed in his heart that the underground secret passage in the wine cellar was no longer a secret, but why did Qiqi be so interested in this secret passage? Could it be that Quan De'an was instructing him behind his back?
The reason why Hu Xiaotian left early was mainly because he wanted to go to Ji Feihua's side. Although he had seen him last night, he should have wished him a New Year's greetings today, but when he arrived at the Inner Supervision Office, he was stunned and Ji Feihua went to the emperor's place.
Hu Xiaotian had to return to Siyuan Bureau. Shi Xuedong and others thought Hu Xiaotian would stay in Zilan Palace today, but when he saw him coming back, he hurriedly came over. Shi Xuedong said, "Have you eaten by Eunuch Hu? I'll let them prepare." Hu Xiaotian waved his hand and said, "No, I've eaten in Zilan Palace."
Hu Xiaotian chose to rest in the wine cellar that night and close the cellar door. Thinking of the scene when he met his parents during the day, his father was obviously determined. He was unwilling to leave Kangdu with him. If his parents didn't leave, he would not be able to leave alone. However, Long Xiyue's wedding date was approaching, and he would have to marry Da Yong far away after the fifteenth. He had to come up with a complete solution to rescue her. He wanted to protect Long Xiyue from escaping safely, but also came up with a way to push his own responsibilities cleanly.
Hu Xiaotian was just thinking about it when he suddenly heard a sinister voice saying, "The family has been waiting for you all day, but I haven't seen you come to greet me."
Hu Xiaotian was shocked. Although he did not see the other person, he had already guessed who the person was. Only Li Yuncong could come to the wine cellar from the secret passage without knowing it.
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said, "I'm just about to go over, but I didn't expect you to come first." He turned around and saw Li Yuncong wearing a black palace uniform, with a red belt that was wide across his palm, which added a bit of joy for the New Year, and his face was filled with a smile.
Hu Xiaotian stood up and said, "Eunuch Li, please sit down."
Li Yuncong was not polite to him, sat down next to the wine barrel and whispered: "Have you been doing these two days?"
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said, "I have been living a good life with you for the blessing of Eunuch Li." He had already guessed what Li Yuncong came late at night. He got up and poured a glass of wine on the side and brought it to Li Yuncong. The most in-demand thing in the wine cellar was fine wine.
Li Yuncong took the wine glass and took a sip, smashed his mouth, looked around the wine cellar with the candle halo, and whispered: "It's indeed a fairy-like day. Not only is it warm in winter and cool in summer, but it also keeps so much wine, and drink it whenever you want."
Hu Xiaotian said: "If Eunuch Li likes it, he will come here every night, and you can drink the fine wine here."
Li Yuncong chuckled, looked at Hu Xiaotian with deep eyes and said, "Did you meet the Supreme Emperor yesterday?"
Hu Xiaotian nodded and said, "I saw it."
"how?"
Hu Xiaotian sighed and said, "I'm afraid that Eunuch Li will be disappointed when he says it. He is already confused now, and he is crazy about speaking and doing things. He strangled Princess Anping's neck without saying a few words. If I were one step later, he might have strangled his daughter to death with his own hands."
Li Yuncong said: "In this way, the Supreme Emperor's body is still very strong."
Hu Xiaotian suddenly woke up from his words. In his opinion, Long Xuanen was already crazy, but in Li Yuncong's understanding, Long Xuanen's body was still healthy and strong, otherwise how could he do such a move? Hu Xiaotian sighed in his heart. The old emperor was indeed insidious and cunning. It seemed that his actions were not caused by madness, but to send signals to the outside world through such behavior. He acted as the transmitter of this message without realizing it. In terms of scheming, he was still much younger than these scheming old monsters, but there was no loss anyway. If you want to get what you want from Li Yuncong, you must make some efforts.
Hu Xiaotian said from beginning to end the scene of accompanying Princess Anping to Piaomiao Mountain. Li Yuncong listened very seriously. At the critical moment, he did not forget to interrupt Hu Xiaotian for a question. Hu Xiaotian also tried to explain in detail. When talking about burning incense in Yun Temple, Hu Xiaotian said: "I saw a portrait in Yun Temple that was quite vivid."
"who?"
Hu Xiaotian pretended to be thinking hard, and thought for a while before saying, "It seems that he is Ling Jiazi. Is she the concubine of the Supreme Emperor?"
Li Yuncong's eyes flashed. He shook his head slowly and said, "The Miscellaneous Family has never heard of this name."
Hu Xiaotian has been paying attention to Li Yuncong's reaction. When he answered himself, his eyes were clearly looking away. From a psychological point of view, this was a deliberate avoidance. Did Li Yuncong tell the truth to him? Hu Xiaotian said again: "Which camp is that Murong Zhan?" Since Murong Zhan deliberately targeted him at the foot of Piaomiao Mountain, Hu Xiaotian has doubts about this person's identity and position.
Li Yuncong said: "This person was promoted by the emperor. Since the emperor handed over Piaomiao Mountain to him, he must have trusted him very much. The family heard that the reason why he was able to serve as the chief supervisor of the Great Inspector was because of Ji Feihua's sponsor."
Hu Xiaotian felt more and more strange. If Murong Zhan was Ji Feihua's man, why did he press on himself step by step yesterday? People's hearts are unpredictable. God knows what camp he is in, so he coughed and said, "After fifteen years, I may have to go to Dayong with Princess Anping. I'm afraid it will take several months to go this time."
Li Yuncong said: "I really didn't expect that the emperor would actually send you as a marriage envoy."
Hu Xiaotiandao: "It is said that it was because of the strong support from Eunuch Quan."
Li Yuncong said: "Quan De'an is really good to you."
Hu Xiaotian said: "Aren’t Eunuch Li worried that he would make a fuss about this matter?"
Li Yuncong frowned and said, "What kind of article do you do?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "Eunuch Li doesn't seem to care about other things in the palace. Mingyue Palace caught fire. Quan De'an and Wen Chenghuan wanted to use this incident to kill Xiaotian. If the emperor hadn't happened to be sick, Xiaotian would have been difficult to get out."
Li Yuncong sneered: "You are so proud of yourself. The person they really want to deal with is Ji Feihua. You are just a chess piece."
Hu Xiaotian nodded and said, "Xiaotian thought he would become a marriage envoy this time and escort Princess Anping to Yongdu. It was the emperor who rewarded me, but after careful consideration, it seemed that things were not simple."
Li Yuncong silently finished the glass of wine. He quietly looked forward to Hu Xiaotian's following.
Hu Xiaotian said: "That is, yesterday, after Xiaotian saw the Supreme Emperor, he suddenly remembered that Princess Anping was the Supreme Emperor's daughter. She had asked the emperor to visit the Supreme Emperor before, but she had never obtained the emperor's consent. Yesterday, the emperor suddenly agreed."
Li Yuncong said: "Yesterday was New Year's Eve, and it was normal for his daughter to see her father, not to mention that Princess Anping will marry far away soon."
Hu Xiaotian said: "Although that's the case, I always feel that things are not that simple. Xiaotian could not go, but someone specifically reminded me to accompany Princess Anping to go there. Xiaotian and Piaomiao Mountain naturally became related to each other. Being related to Piaomiao Mountain is equivalent to being related to the Supreme Emperor."
Li Yuncong said: "You might as well say it clearly."
Hu Xiaotian said: "Princess Anping is the biological daughter of the Supreme Emperor. I am now the chief supervisor of Zilan Palace and the emperor's envoy to send marriage."
Li Yuncong said: "Are you worried that someone would make a fuss about this matter and falsely accused you of conspiring to assist the restoration of the Supreme Emperor?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "Only Princess Anping and I are the ones who say it, no one believes it. Even if someone believes it, it doesn't matter to get rid of an insignificant person like us. But if you add a Ji Feihua, there will be a good reason."
Li Yuncong was speechless. What Hu Xiaotian said was extremely likely. In the palace, the struggle between Quan De'an and Ji Feihua had gradually become increasingly fierce. In order to get rid of Ji Feihua, Quan De'an would do anything to slander Ji Feihua and the Supreme Emperor to collude with the intention of restoring the saint. This crime would definitely put Ji Feihua to death.
