"you..."
Eunuch Feng glared at him angrily.
Xiao Yan laughed: "Eunuch, why are you upset? You have served the emperor for many years, you should be a smart person, how can you still naively think that you can stay out of it."
"Since the Lu family is investigating you, it means they have already made up their minds. Even if you get away with it this time, what about next time? Do you think you can be so lucky next time?"
He leaned against the pillar, his expression distracted: "I know that the eunuch may feel that as long as you send your family members away from the capital, there will be no weakness, but the eunuch has served the emperor for many years, so can't he be without any fault?"
"Since the Lu family intends to use blackmail and bribery, if that fails, they will find a way to replace the person in front of the emperor. If you have done nothing wrong, you will not be afraid, but is that true, eunuch?"
"Do you think you can withstand scrutiny, or can you dodge it a few times?"
Eunuch Feng's expression turned cold: "How dare they? I have been in the palace for many years, and I am no pushover!"
Xiao Yan laughed: "Yes, the eunuch is indeed powerful, otherwise it would be difficult for him to serve His Majesty for so many years, but doesn't the eunuch want to leave a way out for himself?"
"Your Majesty is no longer in his prime. How long can he hold on to the throne? Sooner or later, there will be a new master in this palace. A new emperor appoints new ministers. Even if you don't think about yourself, you should always think about those two young men."
"If a man of your status cannot find a way out, I don't need to elaborate on what will happen to him in the future..."
"Xiao Yan, are you crazy?!"
Eunuch Feng was so frightened that he wished he could just cover his mouth.
Xiao Yan comforted him: "Eunuch Feng, don't be afraid, there is no one else here."
Eunuch Feng still had an unpleasant expression. He looked around in panic, and when he turned back he spoke in a low voice, his face still pale, and he gritted his teeth at Xiao Yan.
"You are tired of living, but I am not. You are so rebellious, aren't you afraid that I will tell His Majesty about this?"
"My father-in-law is a smart man, he will definitely not do anything that will ruin his life."
Eunuch Feng was so angry that he was shaking: "What on earth do you want to do?!"
Xiao Yan raised his lips: "To please Eunuch Feng."
"Xiao Yan!!"
Seeing that Eunuch Feng's face was livid, Xiao Yan stopped smiling and became serious: "Eunuch, why do you have to get to the bottom of this? I gave you something just to ask for a good relationship. I feel relieved if you accept it."
"I won't let you do anything dangerous. You just need to serve His Majesty well. I will protect the two young men and won't let anyone harass them."
"There is no need for Eunuch Feng to intervene in the palace. I can handle ordinary matters myself. If there is a day when I need you to intervene, I will be saving Eunuch Feng's life..."
Although he didn't explain it in detail, Eunuch Feng understood what he meant.
If he really needs to do something, something must have gone wrong on His Majesty's side.
Eunuch Feng's face became even uglier. Just as he was about to speak, he saw Xiao Yan casually said, "Eunuch, you helped me today and brought the Lu family to the emperor. It also gave me the opportunity to find a good job for the fourth prince. Don't worry, I will remember your favor."
Eunuch Feng's face turned pale instantly. Thinking of what he had just done in the palace, he felt anxious and angry.
"Xiao Yan, you..."
Dog thief!!
He was angry and anxious, but felt powerless when he met Xiao Yan's smiling eyes. He always knew that this person was not easy to mess with, so he was on guard everywhere and did not dare to be careless at all. But who could have thought that because of the presence of Princess Cheng, he was distracted by the things she sent and stepped into such a deep pit.
Eunuch Feng's face turned pale and blue. He took several deep breaths before gritting his teeth and said, "You want to drag me into this, but you have to tell me what you want to do!"
Xiao Yan said in a gentle voice: "Of course, I want to find a good future."
"That's all?"
"That's all."
His face didn't blush, his heart didn't beat fast, and he was extremely calm.
"People like me and my father-in-law, who rely on the Holy Heart to survive, naturally have to plan more retreat plans than others. My father-in-law also knows that I have offended too many people in the court, so I have to find a life-saving talisman for myself, right?"
Eunuch Feng frowned and looked at him for a long time. Seeing that he did not seem to be lying and seemed to be really looking for someone to assist him in gaining the credit of following the dragon, he finally let go of the spikes all over his body.
"Okay, I will believe you for now. I just hope that Governor Xiao will remember what he said before. Otherwise, even if I risk my life, I will make Governor Xiao lose a layer of skin!"
Xiao Yan handed the item in his arms back and smiled, "Don't worry, Master."
Eunuch Feng stuffed the thing back into his arms with a calm look, snorted coldly, and then turned and left. He walked around the pillar with heavy steps, and after turning his back to Xiao Yan who disappeared, Eunuch Feng's face instantly turned cold. He didn't believe what Xiao Yan said at all.
The thing in his arms was hot, and he wanted to go directly to the Saint to expose the thoughts of that bastard Xiao Yan.
But Eunuch Feng knew that he couldn't.
Emperor An has never been a magnanimous person, and ever since he took the golden elixir, his temperament has become more violent and volatile. He had previously helped Xiao Yan in front of the emperor, and in Emperor An's eyes, that was him betraying his master and having selfish motives. Even if he took the initiative to admit his mistake, Emperor An was afraid that he would find it difficult to trust him again in the future.
For someone like him, if he loses the trust of His Majesty, he will probably not survive a day in the palace.
"That bastard..."
Eunuch Feng gritted his teeth in anger, but still put the things away carefully. After tidying up his expression, he walked into the hall with a depressed look.
Cang Lang was standing in the dark. When he saw Eunuch Feng leave, he approached him stealthily and asked, "Master, did he believe it?"
Xiao Yan shook his head: "If Feng Lai was so stupid, he would have died long ago."
There are tens of thousands of eunuchs in the palace, and Feng Lai is the only one who has served the previous emperor to the present one and still has the trust of Emperor An. If he could really be fooled by a few words, he would have been gnawed to pieces long ago, but...
"It doesn't matter whether you believe it or not. Since he accepted the item, it means he has a choice."
Even if he is dissatisfied, as long as he always has the upper hand, Feng Lai will not choose anyone else. As for what would happen if something unexpected happened, when that time really comes, Feng Lai has already been intertwined with them in interests, and he is deeply involved in it and cannot extricate himself.
When the ship was destroyed and people died, Feng Lai could not escape, so he would naturally do his best to protect the entire ship.
"Okay, let's go." Xiao Yan turned and walked out of the palace.
Cang Lang asked, "Go find the Fourth Prince?"
Xiao Yan said "hmm" and said, "Go and tell him to go to King Huan's Hengting Pavilion and wait for me."
Canglang felt something was wrong when he heard this: "The governor is not going to Hengting Pavilion?"
Xiao Yan's robe fluttered: "Let him wait."
He had to go back home to change clothes first, and then take his little Haitang with him to see the Queen and her son in trouble. How could he leave out his little girl? Moreover, he couldn't waste such good weather. If he wanted to support his wife, he had to make her happy.
She's just a little girl, how should I coax her?
Snacks? Pearl flowers? Hairpins? Beautiful clothes?
Fishing? Horseback riding? Shopping? Going out of town?
Governor Xiao frowned, as if he had encountered the biggest problem in his life. His dark eyes looked stern. Otherwise, he would take Xiao Haitang to count the family property? When she saw the guy named Gu before, her eyes were shining...
Cang Lang, who originally wanted to ask more questions, subconsciously held his breath and even slowed down his steps.
Did things go wrong today? Is the governor so heavy-hearted?
Canglang's heart was tense.
