Chapter 243 Xiao Yan: It’s so hard to coax my wife
"you……"
Eunuch Feng glared angrily.
Xiao Yan laughed and said, "Eunuch, why are you so upset? You have served the Holy Lord for many years and should be a smart person. How can you still be so naive and think that you can stay out of this?"
"Since the Lu family is investigating you, it means they have already made plans. 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, you will have no weaknesses. But the eunuch has served the emperor for many years. Isn't it possible that he has no faults at all?"
"Since the Lu family intends to use threats and bribes, if that fails, they will find a way to replace the person in front of the emperor. If you are innocent, you will not be afraid, but is that the case with the 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've been in the palace for many years, and I'm 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 much longer can he hold onto the throne? This palace will sooner or later have a new master. A new emperor appoints new ministers. Even if you don't think about yourself, you should at least think about those two young men."
"If someone of your status can't 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, "Don't be afraid, Eunuch Feng. There's no one else here."
Eunuch Feng still looked grim. 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 everything."
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 the ashen expression on Eunuch Feng's face, Xiao Yan put away his smile 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 at ease if you accept it."
"This Governor will not allow you to do anything dangerous. You just need to serve His Majesty well. This Governor will protect the two young men and will not let anyone harass them."
"There's no need for Eunuch Feng to intervene in the affairs of this palace. I can handle ordinary matters myself. If there ever comes a day when I need you to intervene, I will be saving Eunuch Feng's life..."
Although he didn't explain it clearly, Eunuch Feng understood what he meant.
If he really needs to do something, something must have happened on His Majesty's side.
Eunuch Feng's face turned even uglier. Just as he was about to speak, Xiao Yan said casually, "Eunuch, you helped me today by bringing the Lu family before His Majesty. This also gave me the opportunity to find a good job for the Fourth Prince. Don't worry, I will remember your kindness."
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..."
You bastard!!
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 would 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 saying, "You want to drag me into this? You have to tell me what you want to do!"
Xiao Yan said softly, "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 for survival, naturally have to plan more escape routes than others. My father-in-law also knows that I have offended too many people in the court, so I have to find a way to save my life, 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 emperor, he finally let go of the spikes all over his body.
"Okay, I'll believe you for now. I just hope that Governor Xiao will remember what I said before. Otherwise, even if I have to risk my life, I'll make Governor Xiao lose a piece of his 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 with heavy steps, and after walking around the pillar, he turned his back to Xiao Yan and saw that he 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 increasingly 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 those things away carefully. After tidying up his expression, he walked into the hall with a depressed look.
Canglang was guarding in the dark. After seeing Eunuch Feng leave, he approached without anyone noticing: "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, but Feng Lai is the only one who has served the previous emperor until the present one and still has the trust of Emperor An. If he could really be fooled by a few words from him, 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 if something happens, when that time really comes, Feng Lai has already been intertwined with them in interests and is deeply trapped in it and unable to 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.
Canglang asked, "Go find the Fourth Prince?"
Xiao Yan hummed, "Go tell him to go to Prince 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 his clothes first, and then take his little Haitang with him to see the Queen and her son suffer such misfortune. How could he leave out his little girl? Moreover, such good weather could not be wasted. If he wanted to support his wife, he had to make her happy.
She’s just a little girl, how can I coax her?
Snacks? Pearl flowers? Hairpins? Beautiful clothes?
Fishing? Horseback riding? Shopping? Going out of town?
Governor Xiao's brows furrowed, as if he had faced the biggest challenge of his life. His dark eyes looked stern as he concentrated. Otherwise, why not take Xiao Haitang to count the family belongings? Previously, when she looked at that guy named Gu, her eyes had sparkled...
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 in a state of tension.
