Houmen Yixiang

Chapter 309 The traitor, it's not up to you

Soon an imperial doctor was invited over.

Not one or two, but four or five.

Several people took turns to take Xiao Qing's pulse, gathered together to discuss in a low voice, but there was no conclusion for a long time, and it seemed that there was a big controversy.

The concubine in Huang Yi waited impatiently, "Zhu Yuanzheng, is the concubine sister happy, or is there some terminal illness?"

Zhu Yuanzheng said: "Going back to Concubine Chen, Concubine Xiao is not pregnant. As for whether she has a terminal illness, there are still some differences among the lower class, and they are discussing, please stay calm and calm."

When Concubine Chen heard that she was not pregnant, her beautiful thoughts were in vain. She felt angry and became rude when she spoke, "I can't tell if I'm sick or not. Why do we have to discuss it for so long? If not, let someone else see it! "

People need face and trees need skin, this time slapped all the imperial doctors in the face, Zhu Yuanzheng's face was very ugly, "The empress dowager, the ministers are less talented, please find another good doctor, the empress dowager."

Several other imperial physicians were also angry and agreed one after another.

The Empress Dowager glared at Concubine Chen, and said gently to Zhu Yuanzheng and the others: "Zhu Yuanzheng, Concubine Chen was anxious about Concubine Xiao's body, and her words were a bit rushed, everyone, don't take it to heart! Continue the discussion and make sure to give the Ai family an explanation."

"Yes, the Empress Dowager."

Concubine Chen's complexion turned pale when she was stared at by the Queen Mother. Although she was unwilling, she could only keep her mouth shut.

After waiting for a long time, Zhu Yuanzheng finally stood up.

"The empress dowager, the ministers and others have discussed for many times that they believe that the concubine Xiao Guifei may have a rare disease, but the ministers dare not make a judgment and need to go back and look up the medical books."

Mr. Ming Zhixiang suspected it was a terminal illness, and now several imperial physicians also suspected it. Could it be that he really had a rare terminal illness?He is only in his 30s, and he is about to become a queen and live a good life...

The Empress Dowager couldn't help but sigh in her heart, she looked at Concubine Xiao with a look of pity, "This...how can I do this?"

"Your Majesty, you must do your best!"

"Okay, let's all go down." The queen mother waved her hand, and the imperial doctors left one after another.

The Empress Dowager said kindly to Xiao Qing: "Concubine Xiao Gui, you should relax and take good care of your illness. Mingzhi Township Lord and people from the Imperial Hospital will definitely cure your illness."

Xiao Qing had been immersed in the shock of being pregnant and suddenly became terminally ill just now, the surprise on her face was really like what Lu Xinyan said, only now did she know that there was something wrong with her body.

"Thank you, Empress Dowager, this concubine is very flustered, and concubine Rong will leave first."

"Okay, okay, go back and rest first." The queen mother said: "Master, Zhuzhu, you go back with Concubine Xiao, so you can untie her and let her not worry, this hurdle will definitely pass."

"Yes, Empress Dowager." After Lu Xinyan answered, she pretended to glance at Concubine Chen unintentionally, "My aunt is very well-behaved, but she was told that she was pregnant for no reason, and I don't know what the other party's intentions are. Please ask the Empress Dowager to investigate clearly. Give aunt some justice."

It turned out that the queen mother knew that Xiao Qing was pregnant, and although she called Lu Xinyan and Xiao Yan into the palace in anger, it was related to the face of Emperor Longde and the royal family, and she never thought of having a public trial.

Unexpectedly, all these concubines came to report the matter early in the morning, and it was hard for you to hide, so you had to feel the pulse in public.

When Imperial Physician Yu didn't call out the pregnancy pulse, if no one mentioned it, the matter would have passed without a sound.However, Concubine Chen opened her mouth and asked directly if she was pregnant, leaving no room for maneuver in this matter.

The final result was unexpected, it was related to Xiao Qing's reputation, the queen mother had to give an explanation to the Zhen Guo government and Xiao Qing.

"Come here, Concubine Chen made a mistake, framed Concubine Xiao Gui, and demoted her to be a talented person!"

Concubine Chen was like a bolt from the sky, "The empress dowager is wronged! It's not that my concubine framed me, but my concubine listened..."

The gun hits the head bird, who told her to jump so badly just now, if the Queen Mother doesn't punish her, who will be punished?

"Take people away!" The queen mother sternly shouted, and Eunuch Lin immediately had Concubine Zhang's mouth covered and pulled out.

Lu Xinyan tsk-tsk in her heart, sighing secretly that Concubine Chen is stupid, everyone here is here because of Xiao Qing's pregnancy, but can the Queen Mother punish everyone?If Concubine Chen is not smart enough to shut up, I'm afraid there will be another woman in the harem.

"Empress Dowager, Zhuzhu will leave."

"The Ai family is also tired, you all go back." The Queen Mother supported her forehead, "Eunuch Lin, send the Duke and the princess off."

"Yes, the Empress Dowager."

Xiao Yan glanced at Lu Xinyan with a complicated expression, as if he wanted to say something but didn't say it.

-

Royal study.

A few windows were opened, and a breeze blew into the room. Because Emperor Longde was weak after being poisoned, he dared not use ice, so even if there was wind, the room was still extremely hot.

Emperor Longde sat behind the table, his face sinking like water, and his majestic eyes showed a dark look, "The result of the investigation by the Queen Mother is that Concubine Xiao is not pregnant, but terminally ill?"

"Return to the emperor, the news that came back just now is like this." The chief eunuch Chang Chun bowed his head and said: "The imperial physician who went to take the pulse of the imperial concubine empress is Zhu Yuanzheng, imperial physician Yu and others."

"Is the information I got wrong, or did Concubine Xiao use some means to hide the truth?" Emperor Longde muttered to himself, his long eyes narrowed slightly, as if he was thinking, but the cold light in his eyes made people shudder.

Even though Chang Chun didn't look into Emperor Longde's eyes, even if the eyes didn't fall on him, he could still feel the cold air suddenly rising in the sweltering imperial study room, as if it came from an extremely cold place.

"I wanted to take this opportunity to suppress the Duke of Zhen's government, but I didn't expect them to hide away again." Emperor Longde chuckled lightly, with an indescribable coldness and viciousness in his smile, "It doesn't matter, it won't work this time, there will always be a next time, My imperial power will not be handed over so easily."

Chang Chun lowered his head, treating himself like a pillar, not saying a word or moving.

However, he couldn't allow himself to become deaf. If he didn't want to hear some words, he could only be forced to hear them, and then rotted in his stomach.

Although Emperor Longde agreed to make Xiao Qing the empress and advance the selection of Wu Sheng's concubine, on the surface, it seems that he intends to train Wu Sheng to be the next emperor.

But Chang Chun knew very well that all this was just an expedient measure by Emperor Longde.

When Emperor Longde learned that he was poisoned, he was very angry at that time, and he just wanted to drag everyone to hell with him.He doesn't care about imperial power or checks and balances, he only cares about his life!
After knowing that there was an antidote later, Emperor Longde's mind gradually calmed down.He began to think that if he found the antidote, but he lost his power, then what's the point of all this?
So Emperor Longde began to calmly prepare to deal with the government of Zhen Guo.

Yesterday Emperor Longde heard the news that Xiao Qing was pregnant.The expression on his face at that time was so angry that he wanted to destroy Ganquan Palace immediately!
He hadn't favored Xiao Qing for more than ten years, but Xiao Qing was pregnant, that is to say, he, the majestic emperor of a country, was cuckolded!

Changchun thought that Emperor Longde would take the imperial doctor to Ganquan Palace immediately, and once the news was confirmed, he would immediately kill the entire Ganquan Palace!

However, after a while, Emperor Longde asked him to disclose the news to Eunuch Lin who was beside the Queen Mother.

Changchun didn't know what he meant, so he followed the order.

But he didn't expect that in just one night, many concubines in the palace knew about it.

Eunuch Lin is such a tight-lipped person, so it is naturally impossible for him to spread the word, and Chang Chun himself has never told anyone.

Then the only possibility is that either the person who disclosed the news to Emperor Longde spread the news, or it was Emperor Longde himself who spread the news.

Chang Chun thought carefully, whether it was the former or the latter, if Emperor Longde hadn't acquiesced, this news would not have spread at all.

In order to seize the opportunity of the Duke of Zhen's government, Emperor Longde went so far as to spread the news about being cuckolded.

Even an ordinary little eunuch would not want to be cuckolded if he learned that the court lady who was eating with him found another eunuch, and let everyone know about it!Not to mention a normal man, the king of a country?
Chang Chun had a greater fear of Emperor Longde in his heart, this is an emperor who can go crazy for the sake of imperial power!

"Decree to call Zhu Yizheng and others, and say that I am not feeling well."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

-

Ganquan Palace.

As soon as he arrived at Ganquan Palace, Xiao Yan lowered his face and said without anger, "Say, what's going on!?"

What he asked this question was not Lu Xinyan, but Xiao Qing.

Xiao Yan didn't know what method Lu Xinyan used to deceive all the imperial physicians about her pregnancy.But he was sure that Xiao Qing's betrayal of Emperor Longde was true, and it was also true that she was pregnant.

"Brother..." Xiao Qing called out weakly, with a fragile and ashamed expression on her face, Lu Xinyan had never seen her like this.

Xiao Qing in my impression has always been cold and unattainable, like snow lotus in Tianshan Mountain and orchid in empty valley.

"Say! Why would you do such... such a shameless thing?!" Xiao Yan said angrily, his heart ached because of anger, the veins on his forehead popped out, and his complexion turned purple.

Xiao Qing was afraid that his body would not be able to bear it, so she hurriedly said: "Brother, don't be angry, let me tell you everything."

"Back then, I was worried that the Xiao family would collapse, so I separated from Big Brother Leng and chose to enter the palace as a concubine. Not long after, Big Brother Leng was sent to the front line, and was hunted down on the way..."

Xiao Yan frowned, "Chasing and killing? Leng Xun is a loyal and generous person, and has never made enemies with anyone. Who would hunt him down?"

"The people who sent said that it was you who instructed me, brother."

"Nonsense!" Xiao Yan was furious, "He is my brother, how could I send someone to kill him?!"

Xiao Qing said: "The person who was sent said, Brother, you are worried that I will regret it, and worry that I will be reluctant to part with Brother Leng, and finally make irreparable mistakes and endanger the Duke of Zhen, so you have no choice but to kill him!"

Xiao Yan was furious, "It's a bunch of nonsense! It's a bunch of nonsense! Who is spreading the rumors!? Ah Qing, did you lie to me by making up nonsense in order to exonerate yourself?"

Lu Xinyan interjected: "Father, when Shizi Xiao and Zhuzhu met Uncle Leng for the first time in Jianglin, Uncle Leng had a very strong opinion of our Zhen Guo Gongfu and refused to tell us the reason. Although Qi Fei and Qiu had no Ya Yi tried his best to guarantee it, and begged him to open the capital to confront him, but Uncle Leng did not fully believe it. Therefore, after he came to the capital, Uncle Leng refused to come to Zhen Guogong’s mansion to see his father. Xiao Shizi was afraid that his father would be sad, so he never let Leng go. I told you about my uncle, but I had no choice but to tell you about the emperor's poisoning. Now that my aunt said so, Zhuzhu thinks that it is probably true."

"Brother, how could I lie to you?" Xiao Qing said: "I didn't know about this at first. After the emperor was poisoned, the former empress came to tell me in person. She said that the emperor knew about my relationship with Brother Leng back then. He couldn't allow his woman to hide other men in his heart, so he sent someone to assassinate brother Leng in the name of elder brother. The emperor suspected that elder brother Leng hated him for killing him, so he brought poison and asked me to poison the emperor, saying The emperor arrested Brother Leng and asked me to recognize..."

Leng Xun gasped, "So you did something to offend the emperor because of this?!"

"That's not the case! The people sent by the emperor said that it was you who instructed me, so Brother Leng always thought it was you who wanted to kill him, and even suspected that it was me who wanted to kill the grass and roots for the sake of glory and wealth. He regards you as a brother, He has a deep affection for me, but we treat him like this, he hates him in his heart! So when he came to the capital, he knew that I was praying for the emperor at Qingyan Temple, so he secretly ran there... He wanted revenge, and wanted me and Duke Zhen The government will be destroyed together."

Xiao Qing's eyes slowly turned red, "Although he forced me, I don't regret it. I'm very happy to be pregnant with his child! Really, big brother, I'm happy!"

She couldn't help losing control of her emotions as she spoke, and cried softly, "Brother, you must not know how much he endured to survive! Otherwise, with his temperament, he would have come to the capital to take revenge a long time ago, and he wouldn't have waited until 18 years later Now! I know he must be in danger now. The emperor wanted to kill him before, and now he will not let him go. On the surface, he let everyone go, but secretly, he might have sent someone to kill him! That's why Yichen I have searched for so long but can't find it! Brother, the Leng family is empty, do you have the heart to watch the Leng family die?"

Lu Xinyan said: "Father, everything has a cause and effect! If the emperor hadn't intended to kill Uncle Leng at the beginning, Uncle Leng would not have had the determination to seek revenge later on. The child in my aunt's womb would not have appeared either. "

Neither Xiao Yichen nor Lu Xinyan knew about Emperor Longde's assassination of Leng Xun in the name of Xiao Yan, and Xiao Yan was even less aware of it.After Xiao Qing learned about it from the former empress, because of her shady relationship with Leng Xun, she didn't know how to tell Xiao Yichen and Lu Xinyan, so this matter has not been revealed until now.

Xiao Yan was stunned, and his heart became more and more fierce.

Lu Xinyan was right, all of this was caused by Emperor Longde.But he is the emperor, even if the emperor is wrong, how can he be wrong?

"Then the imperial doctor said that you are not pregnant, so what's the matter?" Unable to make a choice, Xiao Yan put his hope on Xiao Qing's stomach, hoping that as the imperial doctor said, Xiao Qing was not pregnant at all.

Xiao Qing couldn't help looking at Lu Xinyan.

"Auntie, do you still remember the day before yesterday when Bai Zhi took your pulse and said that you were too weak to give you an injection?"

"I remember, she said that I was too worried, and she gave me acupuncture to relieve my depression." Xiao Qing suddenly realized, "Could it be that she..."

"That's right, aunt's pregnancy is related to the fate of you, the third prince, and everyone in the Zhen Guo government! Zhu Zhu didn't dare to underestimate the enemy, so she asked Bai Zhi to seal your meridians with needles, so that no one can detect it."

"No wonder the imperial doctor can't help you." Xiao Qing breathed a sigh of relief, "You didn't say hello to me in advance, I was really scared to death by you just now at the Queen Mother's place."

"Zhuzhu was just in case, I didn't expect something to happen so soon." Lu Xinyan said: "I scared Auntie, Zhuzhu apologized to Auntie."

"I'm joking, don't take it seriously, but I should thank you. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid now..." Thinking of the battle in the Longevity Palace, Xiao Qing was afraid for a while, "What happened to the terminal illness? Why did the imperial physician Is that also the case? Do I really have some terminal illness?"

Lu Xinyan said: "Don't worry too much, aunt. It's just to deceive others by saying that aunt has a rare terminal illness. Those imperial doctors are cautious. Since someone first said that they are sick, they dare not say that they are not ill. If they do get sick in the future, they will not only They will be ridiculed for their poor medical skills, and they may also be questioned for not discovering the delayed disease in time. If there is no disease, it can be said that my aunt was cured by them. Because of their reputation, there are only good things and no bad things, so they naturally know what to do !"

Xiao Qing relaxed, "So that's the case, I didn't expect Zhuzhu to be so well versed in human nature."

"This child, do you have to stay?" Xiao Yan asked suddenly.

Xiao Qing immediately covered her stomach nervously, and begged: "Brother, now Zhuzhu has helped me hide it. After a few days, I will be terminally ill and feign death, so I can go out of the palace. From now on, I will stay away from the capital and hide my name. I will never give it to the town. The Duke's Mansion has brought a little trouble!"

"Am I afraid that you will implicate me?" Xiao Yan was furious, "Leaving Beijing by feigning death is such an easy thing!?"

Xiao Qing was yelled at by him, so she didn't dare to make a sound, she could only always ask Lu Xinyan for help with her eyes.

Lu Xinyan said: "Father, Zhuzhu will let Bai Zhi enter the palace in a few days, as if she has found out what kind of disease my aunt has. Then, she will ask the Queen Mother to arrange for her aunt to go to the Royal Palace to recuperate, as long as she stays away from the guards. In the fortified palace, everything is much simpler."

"Brother," Xiao Qing said weakly, "Zhuzhu said it's feasible, if you don't believe me, you have to believe her."

"Father, Zhuzhu knows the knot in your heart. Zhuzhu is just a daughter and doesn't understand the righteousness in your heart. But in Zhuzhu's view, the ancestors of the Xiao family fought bloody battles not only to protect the people of Tianwu, but also to Protect the children of the Xiao family from being bullied! If you can't protect the children of the Xiao family, what's the use of the glory and wealth that you fought so hard for?"

Lu Xinyan said: "Yu Qing, my aunt gave up her own happiness for the government of Zhen Guo, and we have to pay back what we owe her! Yu Li, this matter was caused by the emperor, today's result is not because our Xiao family is sorry for him He is the one who is sorry for our Xiao family! He has done something wrong, why should aunt bear it!? No matter what father thinks, Zhuzhu will not accept it anyway! If you want to stay, Zhuzhu will definitely keep him!"

"You..." Xiao Yan was startled, he stared blankly at Lu Xinyan, his heart was surging, but he couldn't say a word.How could she say such rebellious words so frankly?It just makes him feel...

Makes sense.

Xiao Qing was also stunned, but she was more moved.In the past, she thought that Lu Xinyan had been divorced, and had always treated her badly, and tried every means to pick two concubines for Xiao Yichen who were in her favor.

But she didn't expect that something happened to her, the first one standing in front of her, supporting her and protecting her was actually Lu Xinyan!
Xiao Qing said with complicated emotions: "Zhuzhu, why do you help me like this? You must know that I used to..."

Lu Xinyan smiled and said: "Because you are Xiao Shizi's aunt! Without you, there would be no him, maybe there would be no me, there would be no..."

She looked at her stomach with a gentle expression on her face, "There will be no child in my stomach."

"Thank you, Zhuzhu. I used to think that it was you who climbed up to Yichen, but now it seems that I was wrong. Yichen was lucky to marry you! Brother..." Xiao Qing looked at Xiao Yan, Cheeky and begging, "Please."

Xiao Yan's thoughts had already flown to the palace change 18 years ago.

At that time, his father Xiao Shan took him with him, and the guards of the Xiao family, overcame thorns and thorns, killed gods when they met gods, and Buddhas when they met Buddhas, just to eradicate the rebellious former prince and protect the current emperor.

They fought all the way to the Hall of Valor, blood flowing like rivers, seeing the brothers around them fall down one by one, but they couldn't stop to help them, or collect their bodies for them.

Seeing that he had already arrived at the Hall of Valor, a pair of men and horses rushed out from nowhere and killed them by surprise.The blood of his father Xiao Shan splashed on his face, blurring his eyes.He still remembers the scalding blood and the burning pain that splashed on his face.

He still remembered that he yelled "Daddy" heart-piercingly at that time, and after seeing his father's terrified and disbelieving eyes, his waist hurt and he lost consciousness.The last thing that came to my mind was Xiao Shan's slowed down, silent, grief-stricken expression, "Yan'er!"

When I woke up half a month later, everything was settled.The crown prince was punished, Emperor Longde ascended to the throne smoothly, the guards of the Xiao family were killed or wounded, the younger sister Xiao Qing became the concubine Xiao, and the father Xiao Shan was posthumously named Duke of Zhen.

And he Xiao Yan, Xiao Yan, the bravest young general of Tianwu and the most outstanding young general of the Xiao family, became a paralyzed man with hemiplegia!
Xiao Yan slowly closed his eyes, and the faces that were forever young and would never age in his memory emerged one by one in his mind.

That's right, the Xiao family owes nothing to anyone!
It is not only the Tianwu royal family that they desperately want to protect, but also their children of the Xiao family!

Now that something happened to the daughter of the Xiao family, he is the head of the Xiao family, what should he do?

There was also the poisoning of Emperor Longde more than a month ago, just because of a little eunuch's one-sided words, their Xiao family was almost wiped out!

At that time, did Emperor Longde think of his Xiao family at all? !
That time, he didn't say anything, but in the end, he was still chilled.

The moment Xiao Yan opened his eyes, he made a decision, "I promise, if you want to keep the child, then keep it! Our Xiao family does not owe anyone! Our daughter of the Xiao family can do whatever she wants!"

"Thank you, big brother! Thank you!" Xiao Qing cried with joy, "Thank you, Zhuzhu."

She grew up with Xiao Yan, and no one knew Xiao Yan better than her.He is upright and loyal, says what he says, and never changes his decision easily.If it wasn't for Lu Xinyan today, the child in her stomach would probably not be able to keep it!

"Aqing, you have a good rest, Zhuzhu and I will go back first, you can rest assured, everything will be handled by your elder brother!"

"Father, Zhuzhu, you go slowly."

—

When everyone in Huanxiyuan heard that they had returned safely, they all heaved a sigh of relief.Lu Xinyan did not go back, but followed Xiao Yan directly to the study.

"Father, what do you think about Auntie?"

Lu Xinyan just found out about this when she entered the palace the day before yesterday, and someone reported it yesterday, it's so weird no matter how you think about it.

"What do you think?" Xiao Yan asked back.

Lu Xinyan said: "When I entered the palace the day before yesterday, only my aunt and Jian Jia knew about it, and then Zhuzhu came back and told you. Including Qingtong Baizhi, there are only six people who know about this. But these six people, It's impossible to say it anyway."

Xiao Yan said: "Is it possible that after you left the palace, someone found out about this?"

Lu Xinyan thought of Wu Sheng and Su Zi whom she saw when she left the palace that day.Wu Sheng is a teenager, this kind of thing will not be so sensitive. As for Su Zi, no matter whether she suddenly shows up in the capital, or transforms into Qin Zi and becomes a candidate for the third concubine, she is always mysterious and weird.Plus Su Zi is smart and a woman... Could it be her?
Lu Xinyan thought for a while, then shook her head, "When I left, Bai Zhi had already sealed the acupuncture point for my aunt. Zhuzhu thought that her expression was normal, and no one would see the clue. Even if someone guessed it from the clues, such a big thing , without real evidence, who dares to speak nonsense?"

No matter how smart Su Zi was, after all, she had just arrived in the capital and was not familiar with the palace, so it was impossible for her to think about it.

Xiao Yan said again: "Could it be that someone found out about this before you entered the palace? And you just confirmed her guess by entering the palace?"

"If it was discovered before, Zhuzhu believes that this matter will not be spread until yesterday, it should be spread at the time it should be discovered." Lu Xinyan said: "So Zhuzhu suspects that the town government, or Dad There are traitors around me!"

Xiao Yan was pensive, as if he and Lu Xinyan had thought of each other, "That day, there were only you and me in this room."

"That's right, Uncle Chen was dismissed at that time." Lu Xinyan said: "There is not even a guard outside, if someone approaches..."

She only had three-legged cat kung fu, Xiao Yan was emotional at the time, if someone really approached quietly, they couldn't even notice it.

"I'll have someone check the whereabouts of the servants in the mansion immediately!" Xiao Yan said in a deep voice.

If the news really came from Zhen Guo Gongfu, then the person who spread the news must have gone differently yesterday!
—

After the morning court, Long Tianxing hurried back to Longfu immediately, with an imperceptible smile on his lips.

He is obviously different today, not only Leng Ge felt it, but also the other ministers in the early court felt it.

In the past, when Long Tianxing saw everyone looking lazy with eyes above the top, he greeted him and ignored him.

Today, whoever greets him, can get a response for the first time, although the attitude is still so arrogant.

Let those ministers call out, is the sun coming out from the west today?

However, Long Tianxing, who is so easy to get along with, immediately returned to his original form after returning to the Dragon Mansion and entering the Dragon Courtyard.

Looking at the empty Dragon Courtyard, Leng Ge felt cold all over his body.

Aunt Yun actually left again! ?
In the morning, he heard Master Long say to ask Aunt Yun to wait for him to come back early. You know, this is the first time Leng Ge has heard such words in the past ten years as a bodyguard.

Let the woman enter the Dragon Court, let the woman stay overnight, and let the woman wait for him to come back... Master Long has broken too many precepts on Aunt Yun, but in the end, Aunt Yun still left!

Lengge felt that the hot summer wind suddenly became like an ice knife, and he didn't even have the courage to look at Long Tianxing's face.

"Okay, let's go again." Long Tianxing's soft voice came from next to his ear, he couldn't hear the joy or anger, but it made Lengge's blood almost freeze.

"This pastry, I reward you."

Lengge's hands trembling while holding the pastry.

Yesterday, Aunt Yun said that she likes the cakes from Yipin Tea House. On the way back today, Master Long deliberately turned to buy them.

I ordered five copies of each variety, and it was heavy in my hand.

"Grandpa will eat all of them today!"

Lengge was crying in his heart, he knew it, he knew it!He must be the one who got hurt in the end!
"Master!" The steward's voice came from the gate of the courtyard, "Someone sent a post."

Dragon Mansion receives seven or eight posts every day, all of which are invitations from ministers of the DPRK and China.Although Long Tianxing never went there, he read all the posts by himself and never let the manager deal with them.

Although the steward was skeptical, Long Tianxing hadn't seen it at all.

"Open it and see."

"Yes, Lord." After the steward opened it, he said, "Master Qi from the Ministry of War invites you to have a gathering at Huayuelou on the 29th holiday."

Huayue Tower is a famous brothel in the capital, and it has been suppressed by Yicui Tower before.Now that the Yicui Tower has been sealed off, the Huayue Tower has become the first building in the capital.

"He is well-informed." Long Tianxing said without expression.

The noise that happened in the harem early in the morning reached Long Tianxing's ears immediately.

If Concubine Xiao is really terminally ill, then the empress candidate must be re-selected. Those concubines in the harem who have raised princes and have a good family background, everyone has a chance.

Qi Huaien's move seems to be aimed at the position of queen.If with his support, Concubine Qi becomes the Empress, it will be sure.

"Send a message to Qi Huaien, and the post will be accepted."

Do you think it's up to you?Do you think you can't do without Master?snort!

Little girl, let me wait and see!If you want to be romantic, you can be romantic, and you can pet whoever you want!

"Send the word, Master 29 is going to Huayue Tower!"

housekeeper:…

Lengge: Stupid thing!What the Lord meant was to let Aunt Yun know that he was going to Huayue Tower!No eyesight!

Long Tianxing glanced at the steward at the gate of the courtyard, "This pastry is half for each person."

Leng Ge was overjoyed from the sky, and responded loudly: "Yes, Master Long!"

The steward at the door was still dazed, not knowing that he was about to vomit from eating too much pastry.

—

Township government.

There are few masters in the mansion, Xiao Yan is physically disabled, and there are basically no banquets in the mansion, so there are not many servants.With less than 100 people, within half a day, the servants whose whereabouts were different yesterday were found.

There were eight people in total, and Shu Yun was one of them.

When she was called to Su Yuan, she was a little dazed.

She was the last one to arrive, standing at the very edge, and Chen Yong was the first to ask her, "Shu Yun, you didn't return last night, where did you go? Can someone testify?"

Before Shu Yun could react, Lu Xinyan took a sip of tea first.

"Zhuzhu, are you alright?" Xiao Yan, who was sitting in a wheelchair next to him, asked with concern.

"Ahem, Daddy, Zhuzhu is fine." Lu Xinyan hurriedly wiped off the water stains on her body with a handkerchief, and then looked at the flushed Shu Yun, holding back her laughter until her stomach ached.

"Father, ahem, it's like this, Zhuzhu sent Shuyun yesterday, and he has some personal matters to deal with."

Lu Xinyan originally thought that although Shuyun was her girl, but now they are all from the government of Zhen Guo, so it is not good to be too partial, so she was called out together.

She originally intended to be the last to ask Shu Yun, but she did not expect that Chen Yong would be the first to ask her, and he asked in such a serious manner.

Where did he go after a night, who will testify? Could it be that Shu Yun replied that he went to the Dragon Mansion, and Master Long testified?
Under normal circumstances, Shuyun would come back in the afternoon after going to Longfu. Since he didn't come back, last night must be... ahem, it's not suitable for children.

"Oh, I remembered." Xiao Yan suddenly showed a clear expression, "Didn't Master Long specify to let Shuyun be a cat slave? You went to the Dragon Mansion yesterday, right?"

Lu Xinyan almost spit out another sip of tea, Xiao Yan's words were unintentional, but they were so close to the truth.

"Yes, my lord." Shu Yun's face was red and his ears were red.

Xiao Yan said again: "It's strange, why are you blushing? Is it too hot in the room?"

"Pfft!" Lu Xinyan finally couldn't help spraying.

"Father," she suppressed a smile, "There are still a lot of things to do in Yuexin Academy, if you have no doubts, let Shuyun go back."

Xiao Yan waved his hand, "Then go."

Shu Yun covered his face and ran away, "Master, Miss, Shu Yun will leave."
