FULL NOVELXO Chapter 210 - What Is the Crime?
After half a month, Cao Zongguan once again walked into Emperor Tianfeng's chamber. His eyes were firm and filled with a stubborn stubbornness that could destroy a boat to the grave.
Every night he spent in this palace was a torture to his body and heart, especially when he discovered that he could also feel happiness under that man.
He thought that this would be a fair deal, that he would give up his body and get a chance to start over, so he wasn't afraid of the pain in his body.
But he didn't know when it had started, but the wild night was no longer tearing pain, but a different kind of feeling. That feeling could only be described by the word “ecstasy”.
Although Cao Zongguan had married into a concubine, the only time it happened was when he was completely unconscious. He had no memory of it at all.
Not only was he panicking, he even despised himself. Every time he recalled the scene of him throwing away his life, his face would become so red that blood would drip out.
After washing his body in the bath, Cao Zongguan changed into the bedclothes prepared by the attendant and slowly pushed open the bedroom door.
The bedroom was brightly lit, but there was no sign of the man. Cao Zongguan heaved a sigh of relief. It was undeniable that every time he met Zhan Yuanfeng, he felt awkward.
“Bam!” A loud noise came from next door. Cao Zongguan immediately retracted his feet. It was Zhan Yuanfeng's small study room. It seemed that he was inside.
However, he didn't know when it made him angry like this. After getting along with him for so long, he was already used to Zhan Yuanfeng's smiling expression. When did he really set his face? Something big must have happened.
However, how could he have the qualifications to participate in the matter regarding an overlord? It was better to not listen to too much.
Zhan Yuanfeng had also just received the intelligence report, and because he saw that it was from the Crane City, he immediately opened it and read it. He just did not expect to see such earth-shattering news.
A mere Prefect actually dared to collude with the pirates to plot against Duke Zhen. Who was he to have the guts to do so?
He knew about Lu Zheng bringing his men out to sea. When he got the blueprint of the battleship, he was happy for a few days. If the navy master could match up to a hundred of these battleships, wouldn't Great Yang be powerful?
There was no one who didn't wish for their country to become stronger and have a reputation that would cause fear in anyone who heard of it. In order to make countries submit, one had to rely on an invincible army and two on economic strength.
Lu Zheng's leading ability could be seen from how he defeated Beidi. Zhan Yuanfeng could be at ease if the water master was handed over to him. Before this elite soldier was trained to perfection, he would have to rely on Lu Zheng.
But now, there was actually someone who wanted to drag him down for the sake of a personal grudge, and even used such an unorthodox method? What was this?
“Your Majesty, Young Master Cao is here.” A blue-clothed attendant carefully picked up the broken pieces of porcelain on the ground after he made the announcement. He didn't even dare to raise his head.
“Yes.” Zhan Yuanfeng answered and sat there without moving. He flipped through the report a few times and said to the attendant who was kneeling on the floor, “Let him sleep first. We still have matters to take care of.”
“Yes.”
The information in Zhan Yuanfeng's hands was not detailed at all. He thought over and over again over this matter, and ruled out the possibility of Lu Zheng acting on his own and wanting to get rid of Lin Zhihao. At the same time, he also sent people to insert into each prefecture city.
After Cao Zongguan heard the attendant's words, he knew that nothing would happen tonight. However, since Zhan Yuanfeng didn't open his mouth to let him go, he couldn't leave early either. Thus, he really went to bed and wrapped himself in a blanket.
If it was the concubines of the harem instead, they would be waiting anxiously to express their concern, or they would secretly gather information from underlings. There were definitely only a few that could do something like Cao Zongguan.
However, it was because of his indifferent attitude that Zhan Yuanfeng let him stay until now. Besides the trouble that he caused, Cao Zongguan had never caused him any trouble, nor taken the initiative to ask for anything. The two of them maintained such an indifferent relationship.
Zhan Yuanfeng had already arranged for people to come, and was also calculating when Lu Zheng's imperial report would arrive. He was thinking about the reaction of the civil and military officials of the imperial court, as well as whether there would be any court officials involved in this matter.
He did not object to the open rivalry between the officials, and he even added fuel to the fire by adding fuel to the fire. However, if such a conflict already threatened the country and the government, he would not hesitate to make his move.
After midnight, the entire palace was quiet, with only the occasional soft sound of the candle flame. Zhan Yuanfeng asked someone to take a secret letter out of the palace and then quietly walked towards the inner room.
The golden bed curtain had already been put down, and he could vaguely see a bulge on the dragon bed. He walked over and lifted the bed curtain, meeting a pair of clear and bright eyes.
Zhan Yuanfeng liked to look at his eyes. They were dark and bright, occasionally revealing a depressing and depressing look, but more of it was filled with determination.
“Still awake?”
Cao Zongguan nodded and moved to the side of the bed, opening up half the bed.
Zhan Yuanfeng took off his clothes and lay down on the bed. The bed was already filled with people, so it wasn't cold at all. Of course, the emperor's bed was never lacking warm beds.
However, he felt that there was no need for a man to be like that. Thus, he had only been in this bed with Cao Zongguan.
Zhan Yuanfeng pulled his arms close to his body. Although there was no ambiguous hug, the temperature between the two of them came from the thin fabric, and a weird feeling rose up.
In their shared bed experiences, they were always full of passion and sweat. After the passion and sweat, they would sleep deeply. It was really out of the question to just lie there and do nothing.
Cao Zongguan slightly closed his eyes and turned his body over, with his back to Zhan Yuanfeng.
Zhan Yuanfeng wasn't angry, even if he didn't fully understand this person's temper, it was pretty close. Naturally, he noticed Zhan Yuanfeng's resistance towards this sort of thing. f(r)eewebn(o)vel.com
“I heard that yesterday at the Crown Prince's Palace, you had a conflict with the son of the Duke of An?”
The low voice was a bit hoarse, and slowly drilled into Cao Zongguan's cochlea.
He turned around and looked at Zhan Yuanfeng mockingly. “Is the Emperor trying to punish this commoner?”
Zhan Yuanfeng's eyebrows twitched as he retorted with a smile: “It's just a small grudge between youngsters on the spur of the moment, what's wrong with that?”
This was the reason why he used to get rid of those old officials. The son of the Duke of An Guo was an old man who had been spoiled since he was young. He was used to being lawless. This was not the first time he had received such a complaint.
If it wasn't for Cao Zongguan, he wouldn't have cared about this at all.
Where there were many people there would be conflicts, not to mention that most of the sons and daughters of nobles and nobles were able to get along with each other. It would be strange if they could get along with each other.
Cao Zongguan's eyes were half closed as he thought back to yesterday's scene. If he did not hear his classmate casually mention that this young duke was good with Zuo Family Lord, he would not have known that this matter was related to Zuo Shaoyan.
Zuo Shaoyan was very popular with the Crown Prince. Firstly, he had a younger brother who married into the Wu Steel Manor, and secondly, he had a younger sister who married the President of Ministry of Personnel.
As for the conflict between him and the young duke, it was just that some people wanted to probe it out.
In such a long time, Zuo Shaoyan had probably found out something. For him to be able to go from a traitorous accomplice to a student of the Crown Prince, he definitely had the help of a powerful figure behind him.
Zuo Shaoyan probably wanted to know who this noble person was that made such a thing happen, but he was destined to be disappointed. With Zuo Shaoqing Yuan in Crane City, and Zhan Yuanfeng openly standing up for him.
He still had to thank An Guang for poking Zhan Yuanfeng in the face and letting him suppress the matter. If he were to find trouble with him in private, it would be really hard to deal with.
In a daze, he seemed to feel a hot wave of air approaching his face. Someone in his ear was saying, “Originally, I wanted you to come and thank me …” “I'll let you off this time …”
When he woke up the next day, Zhan Yuanfeng was no longer by his side. He got up and glanced at the time, only to realize that he had slept until morning, and had no dreams at all. It was a rare good sleep.
“Would Young Master Cao like to eat first?” After washing his face and rinsing his mouth, a familiar attendant asked him in a flattering tone.
“No need.” He still had lessons to attend today, so he was already late to leave the palace. Moreover, he had never eaten here before, unless he was tortured in the middle of the night, only then would he drink a cup of water to quench his thirst. contemporary romance
Zhan Yuanfeng mocked him for being too cautious. Only he himself knew that, he wasn't willing to get involved with Zhan Yuanfeng, even if it meant using him as a needle and eating his rice.
“Then are you leaving the palace now?”
Cao Zongguan nodded and opened the secret passage without any hesitation. As for whether this attendant was reliable or not, that was not his concern.
Only when the secret passage was closed did the attendant withdraw his gaze. At the same time, he put away the smile on the corner of his mouth, turned around, and walked out of the palace.
