Chapter 338 Meeting
"The Emperor has neglected Consort Liu?" Yuan Ziyou was somewhat surprised when she heard the news Huo Xifei had sent her. "What happened?"
Huo Xifei told Yuan Ziyou about Emperor Wen of Qi's investigation into Ah Man, and then added, "The Emperor has always been very suspicious. Now that the Second Prince's collusion with Tuoba Hui has been confirmed, he's naturally furious. Think about it, how could he accept his beloved son colluding with a prince from an enemy country without his knowledge? And now that Xuanyuan Xiao is dead, his anger is definitely directed at Concubine Liu!"
Yuan Ziyou nodded upon hearing this and said, "Then I'm afraid Consort Liu is having a very hard time in the harem right now."
"People in the palace are always changing their stance according to the situation!" Huo Xifei smiled and said, "Now that Concubine Liu has lost Liu Heng's support and her son, and now she has fallen out of favor again, it can be said that she is having a hard time in the palace!"
Yuan Ziyu raised the corner of her lips and said, "God is really helping me. Liu Zhaoyi has just experienced the pain of losing her son and has lost the emperor's favor. She is at her most devastated. It wouldn't be surprising if she did something crazy!"
"It's indeed a good opportunity!" Huo Xifei naturally understood what Yuan Ziyu meant. He touched Yuan Ziyu's hair and said with a smile.
"In that case, how about we go to the palace tomorrow night?" Yuan Ziyu knew that Huo Xifei would definitely not let him go to the palace alone this time.
"good!"
The second day.
Yuan Qilei left the mansion and went to a restaurant with his servant.
He has been depressed these days because of the issue of his offspring. The more he thinks about it, the more he feels that it is Yuan Qifeng who is harming him.
Although Yuan Qilei knew that what the Ning mother and daughter had done before was a bit excessive, when he thought that he was almost extinct, he hated Yuan Qifeng to the core.
But because of what Chen Yan said, he knew that he could not defeat Yuan Qifeng now. If he confronted Yuan Qifeng rashly, he was afraid that it would alert the enemy.
Therefore, Yuan Qilei has been drinking to drown his sorrows these days.
Coincidentally, a colleague invited him to a restaurant today. Originally, Yuan Qilei was in a bad mood and didn't want to go out to accept the invitation, but because the man had a higher official position than him, and Chen Yan persuaded him with gentle words, Yuan Qilei thought it would be nice to go out and see his friends to relax, so he accepted the invitation.
"Sir Chen." After entering the restaurant and following the waiter to the private room, Yuan Qilei saw Sir Chen who invited him, and he smiled slightly and bowed to Sir Chen.
"Haha, Lord Yuan!" Lord Chen was originally sitting on a chair. When he saw Yuan Qilei enter the private room, he stood up and greeted him with a smile.
The two men exchanged greetings and sat down. Lord Chen then said with a smile, "Don't be offended by our hasty meeting, Lord Yuan!"
"No, no!" Yuan Qilei said with a smile, "It is my great honor to be invited by Lord Chen!"
This Lord Chen was a fourth-rank official, one rank higher than Yuan Qilei. Yuan Qilei naturally complimented him, but then, noticing that only he and Lord Chen were in the private room, he asked curiously, "I wonder when the others will arrive."
Upon hearing this, Master Chen smiled slightly and said, "To be honest, Master Yuan, there are three of us here today, including you and me, and the other person has already arrived!"
"Oh?" Yuan Qilei was a little surprised. He didn't see anyone else in the private room. "Where is the other one?"
Lord Chen smiled again and raised his chin towards his servant.
The servant understood and walked out of the private room and stood guard at the door.
Yuan Qilei was a little surprised, wondering what Lord Chen was up to.
Lord Chen stood up, walked to the screen of the private room, and bowed respectfully: "Your Majesty, Lord Yuan has arrived!"
When Yuan Qilei heard this, he stood up suddenly and looked at the screen in surprise.
My Lord!
There is actually a marquis in this private room today!
Which marquis?
For some reason, Yuan Qilei thought of Marquis Xuanping.
Marquis Xuanping is Yuan Qi's definite relative. Is he here to cause trouble for me today?
Thinking of this, Yuan Qilei's face changed color slightly, and a surge of anger surged in his heart. Not only did Yuan Qifeng almost make him extinct, but now he wanted to ask Xuanping Hou to deal with him?
This is simply too much!
Yuan Qilei was just thinking about how he would respond if Marquis Xuanping came looking for trouble with him, when he saw a man walking out from behind the screen!
This person is not Marquis Xuanping, but Han Chi, Marquis Huainan!
Yuan Qilei knew Han Chi, and he was stunned. It was not Marquis Xuanping!
However, he had no connection with the Marquis of Huainan, so why would the Marquis of Huainan come looking for him?
Thinking about this, Yuan Qilei did not dare to neglect it and hurriedly saluted Han Chi and said, "The humble official Yuan Qilei greets the Marquis!"
"No need to be so polite!" Han Chi looked at Yuan Qilei, smiled and sat in the main seat.
Han Chi saw that Lord Chen and Yuan Qilei were both standing respectfully, so he said, "You two should stop standing and sit down. There is no Marquis here today, so there is no need to be so formal."
"Thank you, My Lord!" Yuan Qifeng and Lord Chen responded quickly and sat down on half of the chair.
Han Chi picked up the teacup in front of him, drank half of it, and said, "Master Yuan!"
Yuan Qilei was startled when he heard Han Chi address him like that, and hurriedly bowed again, saying, "My Lord, just call me by my name!"
"That's fine!" Han Chi smiled upon hearing this and said, "Qi Lei, I rashly invited you here today through Lord Chen. You won't blame me, will you?"
"Your Excellency is too kind!" Yuan Qilei said with a quick smile, "It is my honor to receive Your Excellency's invitation. How could I blame Your Excellency?"
"That's good!" Han Chi looked at Yuan Qilei's expression and saw that he didn't seem to be pretending. He nodded with satisfaction and said, "Do you know why I came to you today?"
"I don't know!" Yuan Qilei said hurriedly, "But if I can serve you, my lord, I will not refuse."
Yuan Qilei knew very well that the Marquis of Huainan would not come to him for no reason today. He was probably extending an olive branch to him. If he could help the Marquis of Huainan get things done, it would be like holding on to the Marquis of Huainan's thigh.
Although the Marquis of Huainan was not as powerful as the Marquis of Xuanping, he was still a marquis after all, and that was enough for him.
