After Xiao Fubao's Life Was Stolen, He Became the Favorite of Everyone In the Capital Chapter 420

Chapter 420 Missing

When the Imperial Master heard this, he sneered and said, "Master Li, don't you think that you are still the emperor's favorite? You don't think carefully about which favorite would be sent by your majesty to leave the capital and never return. , His Majesty seems to be holding you high, but in reality, how much power do you have in your hands?"

As soon as these words came out, Li Ziqin's face turned ugly. It had been half a year since he had been ordered to inspect the border town. During this time, he had also understood that his rights were actually decreasing instead of increasing.

It's called inspection, but in fact, the people in the border towns are not under his control at all. Even if he said a few bad words about others and got it wrong, there would be no reaction from the capital. He is just a third-rank official made of clay.

The Imperial Master continued: "Master Dao obviously cast a spell for your mother-in-law, but in the end it suffered backlash, and your mother-in-law never returned to her high position. This is not because there is something wrong with my spell, but because of your mother-in-law's in the palace now." The enemy is here.”

Before this, Li Ziqin only knew that the imperial master practiced evil magic and used the blood of boys and girls to practice daily, but he did not know that his sister's favor and his official position were inextricably linked to the imperial master.

"This matter of changing one's destiny is just like luck. It always waxes and wanes. When your enemy rises, you will fall. If you are really willing to be someone else's subordinate, these words will help you. I didn't tell you this," the Imperial Master said coldly.

Li Ziqin had already experienced the glory and wealth of being in a high position, so how could he tolerate these things leaving him?

"Please tell me, Taoist Master, who is my enemy?" Li Ziqin asked.

The Imperial Master opened his mouth and spit out a name: "Gu Mingda."

Li Ziqin suddenly felt that everything was understood. No wonder his sister went crazy during that time and wanted him to deal with the Gu family.

"Since you knew this earlier, why did you hide it from me?" Li Ziqin was unhappy about being hidden.

The Imperial Preceptor had always looked down upon Li Ziqin and said, "Can you accept this? Don't you always think that you are an official based on your true ability?"

Li Ziqin was speechless.

The Imperial Master continued: "Things have always been kept secret. If you tell your concubine everything, no one can trust you."

Li Ziqin had a concubine whom he loved very much. He would not hide anything from her at home. Even Miss Li San was born from his concubine, but it was only recorded in the name of his legal wife.

Everyone in the capital knew that Li Ziqin doted on his concubines and killed his wives, but because the Li family was so powerful, no one spoke about it openly.

"I don't know how many times your mother-in-law has persuaded you to send this beloved concubine away, but you are unwilling to do so. If not, I would have told you these things long ago." The Imperial Master said.

In fact, the Imperial Master didn't understand why Empress Li hated this concubine so much from the beginning, but Li Ziqin was like someone who had been poisoned. No matter what others said, he allowed his concubine to dominate the family.

When Li Ziqin heard this, he touched his nose, changed the subject and said, "Do you really want to make this move? There is no turning back when you open your bow. If you fail, you will be doomed..."

The Imperial Master looked at him with cold eyes and said, "Do you think you have any other options now?"

After Li Ziqin left the room, before he could calm down while sitting in the yard, a servant hurried in to report.

"Sir, your Majesty made two decrees in court today. One was to promote Gu Mingda, and the other was to demote you to the position of governor of Qiuzhou. You'd better return to the border town quickly. If the person who delivered the decree arrives, you can't be seen. People, how can this be done?”

After hearing this, Li Ziqin did not immediately worry about being demoted. Instead, he thought that he would be demoted after Gu Mingda was promoted, which was exactly the same as what the Imperial Master said.

One goes down and the other goes up.

Gu Mingda is his enemy!

Li Ziqin turned around and returned to the secret room.

"Whatever you want me to do, just tell me! If you don't succeed this time, you will be benevolent!" Li Ziqin was obviously determined. The Imperial Master opened his mouth and said a name.

Li Ziqin's eyes were full of confusion, and after a moment, he said: "Okay."

Just after he got out of the secret room, Li Ziqin told his confidants: "Send someone to send the madam, young master and ladies to the south, and then pick them back up after a while."

The confidant looked troubled: "My lord, my wife has always been clinging to you. She has chased you from the capital to the border town and back from the border town. With your arrangement like this, I'm afraid she won't want to leave."

The "madam" Li Ziqin refers to is naturally not his wife, but his favorite concubine, Mrs. Li.

"If she doesn't want to, then tie up the carriage and tell her that this time it's not a joke." Li Ziqin obviously made up his mind.

The confidant had no choice but to comply.

After Gu Mingda finished today's class, he got into his carriage and waited at the palace gate for a long time before finally seeing the jumping figure.

Niu Niu, accompanied by the little palace maid, ran quickly towards the carriage.

"Dad, I learned another piece of music today and will play it for everyone." Niu Niu said with a smile.

Gu Mingda held her daughter in his arms and said with a smile, "Okay."

Niuniu added: "There will be no class tomorrow. The emperor's uncle said he is going out hunting, and he will take me with him then!"

Niu Niu was looking forward to this. After all, she had never hunted in the capital's hunting grounds.

Gu Mingda smiled and nodded, and said: "Since His Majesty is willing to take you with him, you must be good tomorrow and don't cause trouble to others, you know?"

Niuniu nodded vigorously.

Since she no longer has to live in the palace, Niu Niu's mood has improved a lot. Now the empress dowager and the emperor, as well as Sun Jiaxing and his wife, have almost the same status in her heart. They are all elders who are very good to her.

"Dad, will you also be a pavilion elder in the future?" Niu Niu suddenly asked.

Gu Mingda's face was full of confusion: "Why do you suddenly ask this?"

"Miaomiao told me. Miaomiao said that the emperor's uncle valued his father very much. If he was promoted so quickly, he would definitely be allowed to join the cabinet in the future. She said that was how her grandfather joined the cabinet!" Niu Niu said.

Gu Mingda shook his head: "It's too early to say whether he can join the cabinet. Who can say for sure what the future holds."

"Does daddy want to join the cabinet?" Niuniu asked.

Gu Mingda said: "As a minister, it is natural to want to be a highly respected minister, but things in this world cannot be achieved just by thinking. You are not allowed to make wishes casually."

Gu Mingda patched it up, but Niu Niu couldn't take advantage of it, so she could only cover her mouth and nod.

The carriage had just returned to Gu's house. Before the father and daughter got out of the car, Qi Dashan came over with an anxious look on his face.

"Sir, what's wrong, the old doctor Yan from Baiyun Town asked someone to send a letter, saying that Master Azhao went out in the afternoon and never came back. I don't know where he went!" Qi Dashan said.
