Chapter 525

You must know that Feng Quji is one of the Three Excellencies, and his position is above his own.

A glimmer of speculation flashed in Li Zhen's eyes.

"Lord Feng, you are too polite."

Li Zhen stepped forward and took this cup of tea; he didn't dare to let Feng Quji personally hand this cup of tea to him.

"After five years of separation, I didn't expect Lord Li to have sat in the position of Zongzheng."

"Lord Li is indeed young and promising."

Feng Quji picked up the teacup, took a light sip, and then said with emotion.

Li Zhen is only in his thirties this year.

He is worthy of the words "young and promising" from Feng Quji's mouth.

A smile immediately appeared on Li Zhen's face, and he then said humbly.

"Lord Feng, you are too polite."

"If it weren't for gaining His Majesty's appreciation, I wouldn't have sat in this position now."

Although he said so, looking at the smile on his face, he seemed very satisfied with Feng Quji's praise for him.

Regarding this person Li Zhen, Feng Quji also understands a few points.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have invited Li Zhen to the mansion this time.

"Lord Li should also know His Majesty's physical condition by now."

After exchanging pleasantries for a few sentences, Feng Quji slowly turned the topic to the main point.

Li Zhen, upon hearing Feng Quji's words, realized that the main point had arrived.

· ·····Begging for flowers· ··

His expression immediately became serious, and then he nodded.

"His Majesty's body is naturally the place we ministers are most concerned about."

After hearing Li Zhen's words, Feng Quji also nodded in agreement.

"Isn't it just as Lord Li said? His Majesty's body is naturally the place we are most concerned about."

"Now that His Majesty's body is slowly weakening, I'm afraid it won't be long before he chooses the next successor between the two princes."

Feng Quji threw out the final sentence directly.

Li Zhen, upon hearing this sentence, had his eyes widen slightly; he understood the meaning of Feng Quji calling him over.

"These are all His Majesty's decisions; we just need to obey His Majesty's decisions."

He said somewhat cautiously.

After all, at such a critical moment, once something is said wrong, it might lead to a point of no return.

He himself only relied on the relationship from his wife's side to reach his current position.

He doesn't hope for himself to reach a point of no return because of one wrong step.

"Lord Li, why be nervous? It's just idle chatter."

Seemingly seeing Li Zhen's nervousness, Feng Quji smiled slightly.

But at this time, where did Li Zhen still have the smile from just now?

Feng Quji actually said such words in front of him; today's matter likely won't be easy to pass.

"I wonder if Lord Li favors Imperial Prince Fusu more, or Imperial Prince Hu Hai more?"

Since it has already been said, Feng Quji naturally won't continue to hide it.

If Li Zhen can agree, that's best!

If you really don't agree, then don't blame him for being ruthless.

Upon hearing Feng Quji's words, Li Zhen, who originally felt the fragrance lingering on his lips and teeth, immediately felt a touch of bitterness rise at the corner of his mouth.

Feng Quji actually asked such a question; then today, this boat, he has to get on whether he wants to or not.

"I..."

After hesitating for a long time, Li Zhen still didn't say a relatively good answer.

But Feng Quji beside him didn't seem to be in a hurry, still having a smiling expression.

Sensing the temperature in the teacup had already cooled down,

he even smiled and poured a cup of tea again, handing it to Li Zhen.

Where does Li Zhen feel honored now? He only feels incomparable panic.

……Ding.
