Chapter 12

　　Chu Mingfeng lived in a very remote place.

　　When Yuanli arrived, there was already a white-haired old slave waiting for him in front of the courtyard gate. After seeing Yuanli, the old slave silently took him to the bedroom.

　　Once he entered the bedroom, his vision was darkened. Candles were lit in the room, and Yuanli smelled a strong and bitter smell of medicine. In addition to the smell of medicine, he also smelled a faint and strange smell.

　　Yuanli pursed his lips.

　　That was the smell of decay from the inside out that only dying people would emit.

　　The doors and windows were closed, and no sunlight or breeze could get in.

　　Yuanli looked straight ahead and was led to the bed. The four sides of the bed were blocked by white double-layer gauze curtains. Among the shadowy white, there was a vague figure lying on the bed.

　　On the ground beside the bed, there was a trembling servant kneeling.

　　When Yuanli saw this servant, he couldn't help but be slightly surprised.

　　This person was Liu, the steward in charge of purchasing in the Chu Palace. He had been in the palace for twenty years. When Yuanli was the housekeeper these two days, he relied on his seniority to disobey Yuanli's orders, and even complained privately that Yuanli was too strict. After being caught by Yuanli and punished in public, he settled down.

　　How could this man be here?

　　The old servant whispered, "Sir, Master Yuan is here."

　　Two coughs were heard on the bed, and a weak but hoarse voice with a smile sounded, saying mischievously, "It turns out that the madam is here. Your husband will get up and wait for you. Please wait for a moment, madam."

　　After that, there was a rustling sound on the bed.

　　Yuanli was stunned, and then he couldn't help laughing and said, "Sir, there is no need to be so polite. Just lie down and rest!"

　　Chu Mingfeng stopped and sighed, "My husband is not in good health, and I am making fun of you, madam."

　　His tone was playful, and the words "madam" and "husband" did not contain any ambiguity between men and women, but only meant to tease.

　　Yuanli had not expected that this young cabinet minister would have such a personality. He was obviously a dying man, but he could still talk and laugh with others so humorously.

　　He always admired such people, "My Lord, you should cultivate yourself now. Why did you call me here?"

　　There was another short cough in the bed curtain, as if he was going to cough out his lungs. After a while, Chu Mingfeng stopped coughing. He stretched out a thin and slender hand from the bed curtain and pointed at Manager Liu who was kneeling beside the bed.

　　"This cunning servant is dissatisfied with your discipline and came to me to complain about you," Chu Mingfeng said in a light tone, "He said that you are selfish, suppressing servants below, and deceiving your parents to make profits for yourself. Everyone in the mansion is dissatisfied with you."

　　Chu Mingfeng paused, and suddenly chuckled, "Since I got sick, there are always people who think that I don't know anything, and dare to pass any lies to me."
