boudoir

Chapter 264 With Guards
Qi Yunhao didn't wait for her answer for a long time, and for some reason, she went out anyway.

Liuli sat on the bedside for a long time, and was in a daze for a long time, but she didn't fall asleep after all, and went down to the ground again.

And when King Dingbei came back at night, he also sent someone to see her.Liuli thought for a while, and decided to confess to him the things she hadn't been hurt. In order to avoid Mei's eyes and ears, and it would be inconvenient for her to go there, she took a pen and wrote a letter, stating the reason for Ji Jiaoer to send it over.

King Dingbei was furious immediately when he received the letter, and scolded Ji Jiaoer for deceiving the king and breaking two cups, but he didn't do anything to her. Her sleep in the morning and evening allows her to "rehabilitate" her injuries until she recovers.

Mrs. Mei originally wanted to go to Chaoqing Hall to find out what happened, but when she heard that King Dingbei was so angry that he scolded Liuli and smashed a few cups, she gave up her idea and asked someone to give her away instead. I bought some ginseng and bird's nest to show the mother-in-law's love for her daughter-in-law.

Liuli waited for Mei's people to leave before throwing away her things. She didn't care about her things.

She didn't sleep until late at night, thinking that Qi Yunhao would not come back, but before the lights were turned off, he came back smelling of alcohol, kissed her lightly on the face, then said nothing, did not take off his clothes, just like that Wrapped around her waist and clothes and fell asleep.

This was the first time he slept on her bed since the quarrel, Liuli didn't push him, but ignored him.

Early the next morning, the palace sent a screen, a six-fold, rosewood wood hollow carving technique, also inlaid with western printed light glass.Except that there is no big one that was broken in Zhongcui Palace, the rest is exactly the same.

Liuli looked at the screen for a long time, and finally decided to put her in the main hall.

The queen thought for a long time, and finally admired her screen, which naturally meant beating her intentionally to warn her.If her words hadn't touched the head of the concubine in the harem, could Concubine An speak for her?Could she be so forced to offend Zhongyonghou's mansion?
If you support the prince like this, you will naturally want to win over Qi Yunhao for the prince, and get the help of the military power in his hands. If you want to get the help of Qi Yunhao, you must either connect him with the prince, such as marriage, or Shi En , Another example is to find some excuses for him, but no matter what method, it is obviously not as important as tying him to the East Palace.

Especially when Lu Zhao and Qi Yunhao walked into the Zhongcui Palace together, some information had already been conveyed unconsciously.

Sending Liuli screen, one is to appease, the other is to warn, and the third is to tell Liuli that Duan Wenhui's crime was paid for her, and she has to remember this favor.Whether Qi Yunhao wants to help King Qing or the prince, Liuli also has to figure out the direction.

Based on the meanings carried by this screen, how could she not put it in the bright place, obeying the queen's wishes and looking at it every day to remind herself?What's more, this screen has other meanings for Liuli herself. No matter how long the relationship between Duan Wenhui and her will end in the future, it will always be a souvenir for her to deal with people like her who have evil intentions. Put it out and be alert day by day.

And Liuli originally planned to go back to the He Mansion to see Aunt Su after the palace banquet. This false claim that she was injured made it difficult for her to move around.

Not only can't go out of the house, but even the door of the room should be seldom left, because there are Mei's eyes and ears everywhere in this yard, and besides, there are two restless people living in the backyard, who don't know when they can give her Make trouble.

After all, she listened to what Qi Yunhao said, and linked the matter of disposing of Ningshuang with the military power in his hands, meaning that the two in the backyard actually had other identities?Wasn't it because the two of them were sent by King Qing, and because they shared the same bed with him, that's why they didn't punish her severely, but there were really other reasons?
Liuli felt that after arguing with him this time, her mood was even more chaotic than last time.

It wasn't that she really didn't want to know, it was just that she was so angry at the time, and she was really tired after being made a fuss by Duan Wenhui and the others for several days.

And since he went back to his room to sleep that night, he has been going back to his room every day these days.Liuli still had the same attitude, and didn't take the initiative to look for him if there was nothing wrong.But how many things can I find him in daily life?Therefore, being together is also silent.She was at ease, she was bored in the room reading and writing when she couldn't go out, and he could sit by the side and watch her quietly for a long time without talking.Those eyes were so deep that Liuli didn't dare to look directly at them, so she stopped looking.

He still often brings her some southern snacks, but he doesn't force-feed her, and just puts it there. If he finds that it has moved, he will buy it the next day, and if it doesn't move, he will change it to something else.

One day Yuegui suddenly ran in and said in a panic, "Grandma, there are a few more guards at the gate of our courtyard! I don't know what they are doing!"

Liuli also found it strange, and leaned on the back window near the entrance of the courtyard to look out, and sure enough, she found two guards standing there, tall and mighty, with sharp eyes, they were good at fighting.They also found Liuli poking her head out of the window, squinting her eyes and staring straight ahead, like a door god.

Liuli thought that she was always causing trouble, so King Dingbei sent to monitor her, so she asked Yuegui to test it out to see how they would react when they went out.Didn't expect nothing.Liuli felt even more strange, so when there was no one in the courtyard at noon, she quietly went out by herself, and swaggered out of the courtyard gate.Those two guards actually followed her, wherever she went, they followed her.She asked them something, they didn't speak, she scolded them, they only knew how to kneel respectfully.

Liuli was even more astonished, and the surveillance was set too wildly.

But before he was overwhelmed with surprise, he prayed for Yunhao to come back in the next afternoon, and the two of them withdrew.Qi Yunhao walked across to her, took her hand and said: "Ye Tong and Liu Wei are very skilled in the guards, you can order anything you want. From today on, your order is my order."

It was only then that Liuli realized that the pair of door gods were the bodyguards he sent to her from the twelve guards.Feeling warm inexplicably.He wanted to stab him with a few words, but he held back in the end.

In the future, the pair of guards named Ye Tong and Liu Wei were guarding the gate of the courtyard every day.Although Liuli guessed that Qi Yunhao wanted them to monitor her, in fact, they had been guarding the gate of the courtyard all day long, and they had no idea what Liuli was going to do when the door was closed.Of course, Liuli has also tested it, and when there are screams or loud noises coming from inside, they will indeed open the door and come in in an instant.

Yue Gui observed that they were on duty from the time when Qi Yunhao went out, and they would not leave to rest until Qi Yunhao returned home.And where do they eat and sleep?Of course, Qi Yunhao had explained to Fan Yun that the two of them are now considered members of the courtyard, meals are prepared in the small kitchen, and there is also a bedroom specially set aside for them.When eating at noon, the two of them took turns to go.

In this way, she also has bodyguards around her, and the feeling is really different.After all, those so-called wives of civil servants who were born as scholars, no matter how high their status is, are not treated like this with special guards.

So when Lu Muyang and Lou Mingfang came to visit her, they saw such a majestic couple at the door, and they were in awe of Chaoqingtang.

"It's all right now, let's see who dares to bully you! Whether she does it intentionally or not, let these two go up and beat up those who don't know what to do!"

Lu Muyang raised Xiaofen's fist and said.

Lou Mingfang hurriedly said: "I would rather never encounter such things in the future!" After speaking, he looked at Liuli, but smiled again: "However, he can do this, at least he has some sincerity."

Liuli didn't want to talk about this, after all, thinking of his explanation for the imperial physician's prescribing medicine to her sounded really unconvincing, she had an intuition that there were other reasons, but she didn't know whether he was unwilling or afraid to say it.So although she can accept what he did for her now, she doesn't know when she will be able to fully untie this knot.

But Lu Muyang and Lou Mingfang actually came to convey the good news. It turned out that Duan Wenhui's guilt letter was posted.So the most lively news in the city recently is the news that the county lord of the Zhongyonghou Mansion failed in his courtship but was ruined.The news gradually spread, and the merchants who traveled from the north to the south brought it to the south. The old Zhongyonghou and his wife finally couldn't rest, and they heard that they were preparing to return to Beijing in the past few days.

After they left, Yuegui couldn't hold back her excitement and asked Jijiao to go out to have a look. After counting, the guilt letter bearing the name of the county lord of the Zhongyonghou Mansion was indeed a hundred, and it happened to be a thousand and one. Ten words, posted everywhere where official documents are posted.

At the same time, the previous rumors that the newly appointed general's wife was disliked by her husband and that she did not even want to have children were finally subverted by Qi Yunhao's public request that the queen punish Duan Wenhui severely. Now, people are whispering outside, I really can't see that the bandit-like General Zhen Guo has such a tender and considerate side. While people are feeling emotional, there are also many women with love and love in their hearts who are curious and longing for this unruly general.Of course, this is for another day.

Being bored in the room these days, with nothing else to do except reading and writing, is actually rather boring.

This day, thinking of Mrs. Ye's servants who disappeared, she simply called some people to ask questions, and inquired about them intentionally or unintentionally, but no one knew where these people were going, and the people she inquired about were in the mansion. The person who stayed here the longest has been almost 20 years.That is to say, Mrs. Ye's accompanying room disappeared at least when Qi Yunhao was about two years old, and at that time it happened to be around the time Mei's marriage took place.

Does this mean that the whereabouts of Mrs. Ye's companion has a great relationship with the Mei family?

She asked these people who avoided Qi Yunhao. Of course, she also thought about asking him directly, but this is a matter of the previous generation, and it is easy to arouse his suspicion, so she decided not to alarm anyone.

But her continuous questioning finally alarmed Fan Yun.Within two days, Fan Yun came to her room and asked if the servants were disobedient?In order to cover up, she asked him to take the roster of servant girls in the courtyard, saying that she wanted to add two girls.Of course, Tian Yatou can't be true. The purpose of taking the roster is to investigate the family background of the people in the courtyard. Ever since Shuiyun was drowned and Feng'er was killed, she has already started to investigate.
