Chapter 447 Partial Confession
"Your Highness, are you okay?"
The attendants of the fourth prince were waiting outside the door. When they saw the fourth prince walking out with a gloomy look in his eyes, muttering to himself, and wetting his crotch, they couldn't help but feel a shiver in their hearts, thinking that something unexpected had happened in Jingyang Palace.
"Your Highness, these pants of yours..."
The fourth prince immediately raised his hand seriously, stopped the attendant's next words, and said decisively:
"It's not advisable to stay here for a long time. Let's talk about it when we get back."
After saying that, the fourth prince glanced at the team of colorful eunuchs guarding the door.
Then, the fourth prince led the people and left in a hurry.
After Princess Ankang saw off the fourth prince, she went to take a nap in the house and asked Yu'er not to wake him up unless there was something important.
If someone comes to visit later, leave the gift and the person will disappear first.
Yu'er agreed and went to help Princess Ankang make the bed.
Li Xuan lay on the table and yawned out of boredom.
"Oh, I caught the sleepiness from the little girl."
Li Xuan blinked his eyes and looked at the clear sky above his head, deciding not to sleep yet.
"Now that I'm back, let's go say hello to Mao Ba and the others."
Because the three little ones are out of the palace temporarily, the cat cafeteria is also temporarily closed.
Li Xuan had to go and tell the cat brothers that the cat cafeteria was going to reopen.
"I wonder how they are doing lately?"
Li Xuan was about to climb over the wall and go out, but another visitor came outside.
"Hey, it's true that when you are poor in the downtown area, no one cares about you, but when you are rich in the mountains, you have distant relatives."
Now that Jingyang Palace has developed, it has only been one day, but their new threshold is already showing signs of being stepped on.
Li Xuan stretched his neck and looked at the door, and he immediately showed a look of surprise.
"He's here."
Then, Yu'er, who had just put Princess Ankang to sleep, hurried to answer the door.
She opened the door and showed nervousness immediately after seeing the person coming.
But then he saw the eunuch in colorful clothes letting him go outside the door, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
Yu'er almost forgot that Jingyang Palace was no longer a cold palace.
"First of all, why are you here?"
"come on in!"
That's right, the person who came was none other than Yu'er's younger brother, Deng Weixian.
It's been a long time since they last met.
The two siblings were naturally extremely happy to be reunited.
Deng Weixian held a bunch of gift boxes in his arms, and Yu'er quickly helped him take half of them.
"First, let's sit in front."
Deng Weixian nodded silently with a smile in his eyes.
Seeing that Deng Wei had arrived first, Li Xuan was not in a hurry to go to the Imperial Garden to play with the cat brothers, and turned around and jumped back to Jingyang Palace.
"First of all, long time no see, you have grown taller!"
Yu'er looked at the handsome brother in front of her and said happily.
Deng Weixian accepted his sister's concern. Although there was not much expression on his face, the smile in his eyes became stronger and stronger.
"By the way, why are you here today?"
"Did you also receive some news?"
"And these gift boxes?"
Seeing that his sister had been caring about him for a long time and finally talked about these things, Deng Weixian immediately explained:
"Sister, everyone in the palace says that Jingyang Palace has turned around and is no longer a cold palace."
"My current master is Wang Suyue and Wang Jieyu."
"Order me to come and visit with some gifts."
"Although she can't be here in person, she is very close to Her Royal Highness the Thirteenth Princess."
Deng Weixian explained.
Li Xuan had already walked to the feet of the siblings and walked around the gift box. He was relieved after confirming that it was correct.
There were too many villains in the palace, so Li Xuan had to be careful.
And hearing that Wang Suyue took the initiative to get close to Princess Ankang also surprised Li Xuan.
"Is Wang Suyue's family also related to Concubine Xiao?"
"That's not right. I remember that Wang Suyue's family was doing well. It doesn't look like she was ostracized."
At this time, Deng Weixian also noticed Li Xuan who was at his feet, and immediately asked:
"Sister, this is..."
Yu'er laughed immediately, picked up Li Xuan from the ground, and said to Deng Weixian like a treasure, "This is the treasure of our Jingyang Palace, his name is A Xuan."
"Axuan, this is my younger brother, Deng is the first."
Yu'er introduced them.
Li Xuan naturally recognized Deng Weixian. The master of his first set of Ten Tiger Forms was Deng Weixian, which was quite closely related.
"It turns out there is a cat in Jingyang Palace. I thought only my sister and His Highness lived here."
Deng Weixian said, stretched out his hand to touch Li Xuan, and was surprised when he felt the soft, satin-like fur.
"This cat is so well-raised, its fur is shiny."
Li Xuan didn't mind letting Deng Wei touch it first.
Then he lay down on the table unceremoniously and listened to the siblings reminiscing about old times.
"By the way, isn't Her Royal Highness the Thirteenth Princess here?"
"It's better to formally inform me of my visit. After all, I have to convey Wang Jieyu's good intentions."
Deng Weixian said.
Yu'er shook her head: "Your Highness just went to bed, I will convey your intention, don't worry."
"That's good."
Deng Weixian nodded with relief.
"First of all, how is Wang Jieyu? How is she treating you?" Yu'er asked nervously.
If the servants in this palace want to meet a good master, it depends purely on fate, but it is the most important thing.
If you meet someone who is mean, you will have to suffer a lot.
Even worse, the hardship is small, and you have to be tortured to death, and your life is even in danger.
I think back then, Yu'er almost died at the hands of her first master after entering the palace.
If she hadn't been rescued by Concubine Xiao later, she might never have seen her brother again.
"Sister, don't worry."
"Wang Jieyu has a generous personality and treats me very well. She never treats me badly."
"And I also have a godfather in the palace who teaches me martial arts."
Yu'er's heart tightened after hearing this.
The eunuchs and maids in the palace also have some clique-like forces.
Some forces have been passed down in the palace for a long time and cannot be ignored. Serving in important yamen in the palace has considerable power.
Becoming a godfather is the most important way for young eunuchs to enter this kind of power.
But the problem is that although joining a force can provide you with blessings, you also have to pay a corresponding price.
In this kind of power dispute, countless young eunuchs die inexplicably every year.
These people in the palace used evil tricks and tricks, each one more ruthless than the other.
Yu'er had seen too much in the past, and it was only after she stayed in Jingyang Palace that she became more comfortable.
Unexpectedly, my younger brother unexpectedly became someone else's godfather and fell into someone else's influence.
Yu'er was afraid that Deng Wei had gone the wrong way, so she hurriedly asked:
"Who did you worship? Did you spend money?"
If you spent money, it would be better to say something.
I'm afraid they are those who accept Deng Weixian without any money.
"Zhao Bugao."
Deng Weixian answered calmly.
Li Xuan raised his eyebrows, but he didn't expect Deng Weixian to confess all these things to Yu'er.
"What does he want to do?"
No matter how you think about this kind of thing, it's better to keep it in your stomach, right?
"Who are you talking about?!"
Yu'er thought she heard wrongly.
Although she stayed in Jingyang Palace all year round, she would go out to do odd jobs for others before, and she was completely ignorant of information outside Jingyang Palace.
But the name Deng Weixian said was still so shocking that Yu'er thought she had heard it wrong.
Deng Wei first saw his sister's reaction and knew that she knew his godfather, so he had no choice but to repeat it again.
"Then, the deputy eunuch in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs?"
Yu'er stumbled and said.
Deng Weixian nodded and explained: "It's my ex."
"His old man now works in Yanqu Palace."
"First of all, how could you know such a big shot?" Yu'er asked in surprise.
Although Zhao Bugao has lost power now, he was once the second-in-command of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Zhao Feng's most trusted adopted son.
Naturally, people in the palace were familiar with Zhao Bugao's name.
But now, few people know clearly about his fall from power. They all think that it was Wei Chengji, the father-in-law of the printing house who was sent by Zhao Feng to disgust Yanqu Palace.
Deng Weixian gave a brief explanation, saying that he was appreciated by Zhao Bugao when he was in the Imperial Palace. Later, he performed well and was adopted as his adopted son.
Li Xuan frowned slightly, knowing that Deng Weixian was hiding something.
According to what he overheard before, Deng Weixian knew Zhao Bugao before entering the palace, and it was probably Zhao Bugao who brought him in.
"This kid..."
Li Xuan guessed that Deng Weixian's sudden confession today was probably not simple.
But for Deng Weixian, he had absolutely no intention of harming Yu'er. He should have other intentions.
But after Yu'er heard that Deng Wei had become a foster father by a big shot, she was not happy for him, but became worried.
Because Yu'er knew that people in this palace were not interested in money, but in pursuit of more important things.
"First of all, did your godfather ask you to do anything dangerous?"
Yu'er stared into Deng Weixian's eyes and observed his reaction.
Deng Weixian smiled softly and comforted Yu'er:
"Sister, don't worry."
"My godfather is very good to me and teaches me martial arts very carefully."
"Besides, with my ability, I can't do anything dangerous."
Li Xuan rolled his eyes.
As far as Deng Weixian's operations in Yanqu Palace were concerned, none of them were dangerous.
In order to get close to Wang Suyue, he caused some scandals, and finally even went into the sea of fire to rescue Wang Suyue.
Without Li Xuan's help at that time, Deng Weixian would have died in the sea of fire.
The scandal between Deng Weixian and Wang Suyue is also fatal. If someone sues her, Wang Suyue will definitely be fine because of her family background, but Deng Weixian will definitely not escape death.
Although under Zhao Bugao's calculations, the matter was successfully resolved, Deng Weixian gained Wang Suyue's trust.
But all this was done by Deng Weixian at the risk of his life.
Now that Zhao Bugao has lost power and is under strict supervision by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he seems to be at ease teaching Deng Weixian and waiting for his adopted son to die for him.
But who knows if Zhao Bugao, who dared to collude with foreign enemies and betray Daxing, would cause other troubles.
According to Li Xuan's idea, it would be easier to get rid of this kind of person as soon as possible.
But for some reason, Manager Shang and Zhao Feng tolerated Zhao Bugao and continued to live.
When Yu'er heard Deng Weixian's words, she didn't say anything.
Although the siblings hadn't seen each other for many years, Yu'er could tell that Deng Weixian didn't tell the truth.
"You can't even tell lies. How can you, sister, be at ease?"
Yu'er sighed, but she also knew that she could not help Deng Weixian now.
The two siblings talked for a while, and Deng Weixian left on the grounds that he wanted to go back and resume his life.
Indeed, it is not good for him to stay in Jingyang Palace for too long. There are so many pairs of eyes outside the door, and Jingyang Palace is now at the cusp of the storm, so it is better to be more careful.
When Li Xuan saw Deng Wei leaving first, he was no longer in a hurry to go to the Imperial Garden. He planned to follow him to see if he could figure out what this kid was up to.
