Concubine like a house

Chapter 13
As long as one thinks of the relationship between the Yun family and the Daxi royal family, no one in the world would dare to neglect the sympathy that has been deeply rooted for hundreds of years.

Now Beixi and Nanxi are not the most orthodox Daxi bloodline, and the country after the split is also not very stable.If it is the Yun family who wants to win this beautiful river and mountain, I am afraid that everyone in the world will gather to respond!

Because of this, the Yun family has a pivotal position in both the North and the South, and it is also the target of the two countries.But for hundreds of years, the Yun family has been adhering to the precepts of the ancestors, carrying the false name of "Li Xinhou" and focusing on doing business, staying away from the temple.

Such a prudent act of protecting oneself made it impossible for the emperors of the two countries to do anything.Whether public or private, they can only wait and see, not daring to offend Yun Shi.Otherwise, he would have slapped his ancestors on his own, and handed over Yun's huge wealth and fame to another country——

In a word, those who win the Yun family will unify the world.

Such fame, such wealth, even the current emperor can hardly match.At this point, Ming Cui finally woke up from Yun Ci's words, and asked with trepidation, "Are you His Royal Highness?"

As we all know, the Marquis of Lixin has passed away for many years, and all matters in the mansion are decided by Mrs. Xie, the wife of the Marquis, and he will inherit the title only after the eldest son Yun resigns from the weak crown.As for Lixin Hou Shizi, he is definitely not a mere Wenchang Hou Shizi who can sit on the same level as him.It should be noted that the three words "Marquis of Lixin" have stood in Daxi for hundreds of years, and the feudal princes of the two countries after the division of the North and the South are naturally not the same.

However, Yun Ci didn't answer Ming Cui's question, but only glanced at him lightly, and said to Zhu Ying, "Seeing off the guests." After saying that, he turned around and returned slowly, step by step, towards Dongyuan.

Even though Ming Cui is used to being domineering in Jingzhou City, but after all, he is the second son of the Right Prime Minister, and he is well aware of the situation in the court.At this point, the more he thought about it, the more afraid he became. He had lost the arrogance he had just now, and he didn't dare to delay any longer. He hurriedly returned to the Ming Mansion to report the matter to his father Ming Cheng.

Danxin and Zhuying saw that everyone in the Ming Palace had left, so they left Chacha and went back to Dongyuan.Only Chacha was so frightened that she fell to the ground.

Seeing that there were no outsiders around, Zhu Ying and Dan Xin almost rushed to Yun Ci's side, supporting him from left to right.

At this time, Yun Ci was already sweating, his lips were pale, and he was finally willing to show his pain.

"Master..." Dan Xin called out in a low voice, already too distressed to speak.

Zhu Ying also had a deep expression on her face and said nothing.

Yun Ci seemed unaware of the reaction of the two loyal servants, and only ordered in a low voice: "The wheelchair is placed under the verandah, push me back to the study."

"Master! You are already like this, what are you going to do in the study! This servant will help you go back and rest." The words were choked with sobs.

"It doesn't matter." Yun Ci didn't explain much, the firm meaning in the words made Dan Xin and Zhu Ying unable to persuade.The two had no choice but to support Yunci to sit back in the wheelchair, and then pushed him into the study.

"Where's going out of Xiu?" Seeing that there was no one in the room, Yunci immediately frowned and asked.

Originally, Danxin and Zhuying didn't understand why the master insisted on coming back, but now that they heard this sentence, they both understood - the master was worried about going out of Xiu.

Danxin couldn't help feeling a little resentful, but he didn't want to say much, he just said: "Maybe she is in the side hall, servant girl will look for her." As he said that, he trotted away to the side hall.

After a while, Dan Xin returned, shaking his head a little uneasily: "I searched the whole study, but I can't find Chuxiu."

Can't find Chuxiu?Yun Ci's complexion became even paler, and the peaks of his eyebrows had become a continuous mountain, revealing his endless worries.

Zhuying has been with Yunci since she was a child, and it has been more than 15 years so far.In his heart, the master has always been generous to his servants, caring about food and clothing.However, facing this dumb girl whom she had known for only three months, Zhu Ying felt that her master had changed.

I am not the first to teach my subordinates to read and write; I am not the first to treat diseases and treat injuries for my subordinates; I am not the first to stand up for my subordinates.

But what was wrong, Zhu Ying couldn't tell, so she could only persuade Yun Ci: "Miss Chuxiu is such a big person, she won't get lost. You rest first, and the subordinates and Dan Xin go to find her."

Yunci's face became more and more serious, and he said in a low voice: "I told her to wait for me in the study. Now that she is not here, it is obvious that someone is behind."

As soon as these words came out, the three of them all remembered the disturbance that happened in Caiming Mansion just now.Could it be that he was caught in a trick to divert the tiger away from the mountain?Could it be that the Ming government deliberately led everyone to the gate of Dongyuan, but secretly sent people to take Chuxiu away?
For a moment, Zhuying and Danxin looked at each other in blank dismay.

At this moment, Yun Ci suddenly ordered: "Prepare a car for me and go to the palace to meet Emperor Tong Sheng." His voice was as cold as ice, and his attitude was firm and unquestionable.

"Master!" Zhu Ying and Dan Xin stopped with one voice.

"You came to Jingzhou to hide your identity, why are you tossing about for a dumb girl?" Zhu Ying said anxiously.

Danxin also persuaded: "Let's wait a little longer, and let Zhuying go to the Ming Mansion to investigate the situation first. Although the Second Young Master Ming doesn't know the seriousness, the head of the Ming Mansion will definitely give you an explanation."

Even though the two loyal servants around him tried to persuade her again and again, Yunci remained unmoved: "Chuxiu said that she is not from the Ming family. Now that she has been taken away privately, I don't know what the Ming family's intentions are. Zi Feng is not here now. , there can be no further delay."

Speaking of which, he could no longer care about the ailment of his legs, and ordered again: "Zhuying goes to prepare the car, and change my clothes calmly."

The two of them knew Yunci's temper well, and they dared not persuade him anymore.Zhuying couldn't disobey her master's order, so she had to go out to prepare the car.Unexpectedly, just as one foot stepped over the threshold, it bumped into a person head-on.A light fragrance wafted into his nostrils, and at the same time, there was a splash of warmth on the skirt of his clothes.

It's Hanchu!She was entering the door with a medicine cup, when she collided with the bamboo shadow, and the medicine juice spilled out.

When Han Chu saw this, he repeatedly bowed down and apologized.Zhu Ying looked at the decoction splashed on the lapel, and didn't know whether to be annoyed or happy, so she hurried back to the house, and said to Yun Ci excitedly: "Master! Miss Chuxiu is here!"

Hanchu still doesn't understand Zhuying's reaction.As soon as she entered the room, she felt two eyes falling on her: one came from indifference, with a bit of resentment; The surface of the sea looks calm, but in fact there are deep waves.

Han Chu saw the expressions of the two of them in his eyes, and was even more at a loss when he was puzzled.She quickly freed up a finger and pointed to the medicine cup on the tray, indicating that she was going to boil medicine just now.

"Chuxiu! Next time you leave, can you tell me first!" Danxin finally couldn't help it, and blurted out to complain.

When Han Chu saw his indifferent and harsh words, and seeing Yun Ci's silence all the time, he thought they were angry because of the troubles in the Ming House, and he couldn't help but feel extremely guilty.She smiled apologetically, then lowered her eyes and bit her lips, as quiet as a plant.

Danxin has always been a knife-mouthed and tofu-hearted man. Seeing that Yun Ci didn't lose his temper, and he couldn't go too far, he snorted again: "Not being able to speak is actually an advantage!"

Han Chu buried his head even lower, and blamed himself endlessly.

The room suddenly became silent again, only Danxin's undulating breathing revealed her anger at the moment.

After a while, Yun Ci broke the atmosphere and said lightly: "Chuxiu is here to serve, you two go down."

"Master, your leg..." Zhu Ying revealed a worried expression.

"Didn't the medicine come here?" Although Yun Ci's words were light, they were irreversible.

Dan Xin winked at Zhu Ying at the right time, pulled his sleeves and said: "Your servant and Zhu Ying will leave first." After saying that, the two of them had already retreated, and they did not forget to close the door.

It was only then that Han Chu remembered that he was still holding the medicine in his hand, so he quickly put the medicine cup on the small case, filled a bowl and presented it to Yunci, silently inviting him.

Yun Ci's face was still pale, but his expression improved.He glanced down at the concoction and asked, "Didn't I say that you are not allowed to leave the study?"

Hanchu said nothing, and bowed his head to admit his mistake.Fang Caiyunci insisted on walking to the gate of Dongyuan. She was worried that his legs were in unbearable pain, and just happened to see the medicinal materials delivered from the warehouse, so she decided to boil the medicine on her own, thinking that it would relieve his pain as soon as possible.

Just when Hanchu was about to explain, Yunci had already taken the medicine bowl from her, and said to himself, "It's because you are going to boil the medicine..." This whisper didn't finish. He had already drank the medicine bowl in one gulp.When he put down the empty bowl again, there was no sign of any abnormality on his face, he only looked at the silent girl.

Han Chu still stood respectfully.Just now the events of the Ming Mansion were vivid in her mind, she thought she would be reprimanded or questioned, but there was nothing.

After a while, Yun Ci's soft voice sounded again: "From now on, you don't have to be afraid of the Ming government or other people." He sat on the wheelchair with a firm posture, but his face was slightly regretful, "Today my identity has been revealed, I can't stay in Jingzhou for a long time. I'm leaving Xiuxiu."

I'm leaving!These four words were like thunder on the ground, making Han Chu's mind go blank instantly.

Besides, Yun Ci seemed to have said something else, but she couldn't hear a single word.He clearly knew that this day would come sooner or later, and it was also the three months that he had promised, but at this moment when Yun Ci suddenly mentioned it, the parting still seemed to be caught off guard.Hanchu is not even ready to leave Dongyuan yet.

If possible, she hoped that she would never go back to Xiyuan again, not have to face Shen Yu's moodiness, not to face Chacha's calculations and bullying, let alone face the unknown years ahead.

But she couldn't do anything, and she couldn't stop it.

Looking at the slightly sad pretty face in front of him, Yunci asked, "Are you planning to stay with Zifeng in the future?"

If you don't stay by Shen Yu's side, where else can you go?Even if Shen Yu is willing to let her go, now that she has offended Ming Fu, she has nowhere to go.Han Chu had no choice but to purse his lips, acquiescing to Yun Ci's question.

Yunci sighed softly: "Zifeng is fine everywhere, but..." At this point, he didn't continue.

When Han Chu understood what Yun Ci was referring to, he was silent for a while.

Since then, the atmosphere in the study has been kept quiet, as if a thorn pierced into each other's hearts at the same time, poking a hole in the relationship between master and servant in the past three months.The cold wind poured in, and it was bloody, with a ruthless howl, it was hard to say...

Yun Ci thought that people from the Ming Palace would go and return, but he never expected it to be so fast.Just after noon that day, Ming Cheng, the head of the Ming family, the right minister of the court, and the uncle of the country, personally handed in the invitation card, and brought his second son Ming Cui to Zhuihongyuan to visit.

Ming Cheng was nearly fifty years old, with a shrewd face, and he was able to get along like a fish in water in the Nanxi Dynasty, and he was also the elder brother of the empress of the dynasty.But it is such a master, who is a little fearful at the moment.

Ming Cui, as the second son of the Ming family, although he was usually arrogant and arrogant, he still had some winks.At noon today, he ran into a snag in Chasing Hong Yuan, and after returning home, he reported the matter to his father Ming Cheng.

Including how my younger sister Ming Ying made things difficult for a woman in a brothel; how suspicious she was after knowing Han Chu's death;

After Ming Cheng heard this, he scolded Ming Cui on the spot.He knew that if the character Ming Cui described was really like a banished immortal, then it must be Prince Li Xinhou, the person he would dare not offend besides Lord Nanxi.
