Zhao Su sighed, then hit her palm, and two guards flashed out from behind her.

“I’m not going to hide it from you, Your Excellency, my guards have all grasped the situation of your meal just now.”

Immediately, Fang Qingxue’s face went white!

She was the daughter of Marquis Qingyun, and now she was the guard of Qianqing Palace, she grasped all the circumstances of this night’s meal, could it be that she came prepared this night?

He swallowed his saliva: “So, you know why I went to the banquet tonight?”

How would Zhao Su know? She only knows that they have ghosts, this is not just to pull open the stance ready to deceive him. She put on a deep look, “Since I dare to wait here for you, I naturally have to make some preparations. I have a few words I would like to ask you, please tell me the truth!”

“Where is the canine son? I must see him first!”

Without seeing Fang Qu, how could he be sure that all of this was not a trap set by her?

“Go and see where Lord Fang has gone. If you can’t find him, go to the theater club and look for Lord Fang!”

At this time, OCT’s plucked voice came from the store.

Fang Qingxue shivered again, his entire body tensed into a string, as if he would not be able to support himself at the slightest touch!

Zhao Su looked at him and high-fived again, “Show Lord Fang to Lord Fang.”

Fang Qingxue heard here instantly turned around, only to see originally parked under the tree of a carriage at this time drove over, the guards to open the door, inside the sleeping two people, a female do small household women dressed, the other male, that is not exactly their own that is no good against the son of Fang Dui? With the sound of the door opening, the two have woken up, see the front of the Fang Qingxue, Fang Ditch scared a convulsion, to the corner to shrink over!

Fang Qingxue was like a thunderbolt, bowing her body to go up!

Zhao Su and Hua Xiangrong once again held him back, “Tian OCT has just left, if he comes back and sees this, then I won’t be able to cover for him!”

The Marquis’ guards’ on-time efficiency is not something to sneeze at, in just a moment’s time, all the people they sent out have returned. Of course, it’s possible that these tasks are simply child’s play for them.

Fang Qingxue at least pressed down and gritted her teeth, ”Servant Zhao, please tell me the ins and outs! Could it be that Fang’s rumors are true?”

“Your son is in love with this girl from the theater club, and tonight, this girl fell ill, so your son was very worried, so he planned to guard her all night long. However, this news was made known to those hidden behind the scenes, so they ordered people to spread the news around while your lordship was away at the bureau, with the aim of getting it into the ears of your lordship as well as the royal historian.

“But whenever this matter is poked to the court, then your family, Fang Drain, is bound to be in bad luck. The point is, Lord Fang is bound to be in a passive position.

“I accidentally learned of this matter and admired Lord Fang’s character, so I had my guards knock Fang Qu out and bring him out ahead of time, at which point OCT and the others rushed over and could only pounce. And since they didn’t catch him in the act, naturally those previous rumors have become rumors. So Lord Fang can rest in peace for now!”

In order to achieve the desired effect, Zhao Su purposely concealed the identity of the person behind it for the time being.

Fang Qingxue’s heart surged as he listened, in the current situation, who else would target him? I’m afraid that it was only the OCT He Sheng’s party! They were the ones who had inquired about this matter, so they used it to blackmail him!

…… No matter who it is, the people behind it are really despicable ah, originally thought that they would at least leave a little bit of leeway, but didn’t think that they would actually be this calm!

He clenched his hands several times, until the end he remembered to thank Zhao Su, and hurriedly arched his hand, “Many thanks to Servant Zhao!”

Finished looking at her, but there is still some unfinished business, listening to the capital to make fun of Zhao Su rumors for so long, never thought to go over to ask for proof, did not think that today for him to relieve the siege of the surprisingly very disapproval of his heart is this her!

Thinking that she still had something to ask – although he knew that it certainly wouldn’t be an easy question to answer, he willingly responded at this moment, “I wonder what Servant Zhao wants to know?”

“This is not the place to talk, Lord Fang please take a seat in the carriage.”

In the middle of the conversation another large carriage drove over, the door opened, the inside was spacious, a small square table in the center was also set up with a tea set.

Fang Qingxue at this time also really need to sit down to properly pressure the shock, then nonchalantly went up.

Zhao Su followed and sat down, saw the food box on the table, simply opened, took out the pot of milk tea that has been warmed and poured a full cup to him.

Although the carriage is wide, but also limited, Wuyi Mountain black tea mixed with the fragrance of pure milk immediately filled the space.

Fang Du’s side did not cause a big disaster, Fang Qingxue’s tense nerves were relaxed, he took a deep breath, took out a roll and wiped the sweat on his forehead, picked up the cup in front of him and took a sip, then paused: “What is this?”

“Milk tea.”

Fang Qingxue glanced at the cup in confusion and took a sip, transporting his tongue to savor it. A moment later he nodded deeply and drank the remaining half of the cup on his back.

Seeing this, Zhao Su again brought the snacks in the food box to him one by one, “With a meal like today, Lord Fang must not have enjoyed his meal. Pad your stomach first.”

Fang Qingxue was an old-fashioned scholar, abiding by the rules and regulations, and was not very keen on the desire for food and drink. But Zhao Su set out these five or six kinds of snacks, eye-catching colors, each with its own characteristics, and the rich aroma came to his nose, unknowingly making people’s fingers move. At that moment also not polite, pick up a round, golden-colored, crispy outside and tender inside dim sum eat up.

Zhao Su watched him eat two egg tarts in a row, and poured him full of milk tea, then asked, “Such an unpleasant meal, I wonder why your honor didn’t push it?”

Fang Qingxue let out a long sigh, “The girl comes from a noble background and is still young, perhaps she still doesn’t understand the reasoning of ‘a big official presses a person to death’, tonight, if it is not in the way of He Shangshu who is my official’s top boss, why would my official go to such a Hongmen Banquet?”

“Hongmen Banquet?”

“I don’t know if the girl has ever heard that Shi En, the left minister of the Ministry of Rites, was caught committing a crime?”

“Of course I have.”

“Now the post of Left Minister is vacant, and the OOC of the Inspectorate, Tian OCT, wanted to fill the vacancy, he is a relative of Minister He, so it was not a problem, but I did not expect to get stuck at the Emperor’s place. Due to the Empress Dowager’s belief that there are doubts about the crimes committed in the Shi case and her insistence that suspicion is not an issue, the Emperor is in no hurry to make a decision at the moment.”

“What does this have to do with Lord Fang?”

Fang Qingxue looked at her and pursed his lips but did not say anything decisively.

Zhao Su accompanied a boring drinking game, know that this time should not be too much to rush, so the cup said: “adults drink tea to moisturize the throat.”

Fang Qingxue original preparation if she urged to avoid, after all, can be so indolent people, most likely also can not help things. But Zhao Su this slow down, once again broke his preconceived notions, in front of the little girl frank and comfortable, a trace of eagerness is not, looking at people inexplicably assured.

He clenched his fist, then said: “In fact, before tonight, your father also looked for me.”

Zhao Su said, “Is it for the matter of the Imperial Medicine Division?”
