Liu Mingzhi thought for a while, looked at Chen Jie's calm and elegant appearance, and sighed softly.
If no other woman cares about what happened that day, why should I still be unable to let it go? Isn't it just that something happened in a daze that shouldn't have happened?
What's the big deal.
"No...No, the emperor's wife has misunderstood my brother. I don't drink well, I'm a little drunk, and I'm in a hurry to go back and rest."
Chen Jie withdrew her meaningful gaze, bent down and picked up the pot to pour a cup of warm tea for Young Master Liu.
"Brother-in-law, have a cup of tea to sober up. I have something to discuss with you about the Ai family."
"Okay... okay! If the emperor's sister-in-law needs my brother's help for anything, it doesn't matter."
"It's about the emperor's affairs. I can't explain it in a few words. I'll talk to you in detail when we get to the Aijia."
Liu Mingzhi hesitated for a moment, held his breath and felt the surrounding environment. There was no dangerous atmosphere, and he nodded reluctantly.
It seemed that Chen Jie didn't know what happened between herself and Li Ye just now.
It was her own intention to find herself, not Li Ye's intention to lead her somewhere.
Otherwise, even if you don't feel the danger, some of the relevant spies around you should give you a hint.
"good!"
The wheels were rolling, and the two of them were speechless.
Liu Mingzhi drank tea silently, Chen Jie didn't speak, and he didn't know what to say.
You can't ask her if she is satisfied with her performance that day!
In this way, Chen Jie would dare to slap herself without hesitation.
After all, even though that kind of thing happened, she was still unconscious and knew nothing about Chen Jie's depth.
It's better not to test the edge easily.
When the carriage stopped, the sky was completely dark.
The two people in the carriage could no longer see each other's expressions clearly, only vague figures came into view.
When the vehicle stopped, Liu Mingzhi couldn't wait to jump out of the carriage. Looking at the familiar Prince's Mansion in front of him, he subconsciously looked at Chen Jie who was being helped out of the carriage by Gao Jin.
"Sister-in-law, what is this?"
"Before you entered the palace today, the Aijia heard from the emperor that you might go to the north soon. The time is limited, and you might not leave on that day. Seeing that the sky is getting late, the Aijia cannot keep you in the palace. After the door was closed, I continued to stay in the harem to discuss the matter, so I made an excuse to go back to my old mansion to stay for a few days and invite you to discuss the prince's affairs.
please! "
Liu Mingzhi carefully scanned the quiet streets around him, and reluctantly followed Chen Jie towards the Prince's Mansion.
As soon as he entered the mansion, the quiet environment in the prince's mansion made Liu Mingzhi feel uncomfortable everywhere.
Although Li Ye doesn't have any children yet, the Prince's Mansion can't even have servants.
It's really weird.
After a few cups of tea, Liu Mingzhi looked at Chen Jie, who was kneeling opposite him and making tea for him, with some surprise in his eyes.
"Sister-in-law, why is the Prince's Mansion so deserted? Where are the servants?"
Chen Jie stopped pouring the tea and smiled with a sad smile on her pretty face: "Every once in a while, the Ai family will come here to stay for a few days. In order to avoid seeing things and missing people, all the people who should be sent away are sent away.
In the past few years in the palace, I have become accustomed to solitude, and my head becomes dizzy when I hear the noise.
Maybe it’s because the Ai family is afraid of touching the scene and hurting their feelings! "
Liu Mingzhi took the tea from Chen Jie and nodded with a complicated expression.
"Although it is a bit cliché, my brother still advises the emperor's sister-in-law to express condolences."
"It's been two years, and the Ai family has almost given up. No matter how uncomfortable it is, the late emperor has not come back from the dead.
At least the Ai family has Huang'er and Zhi Yao accompanying them, which is many times better than some mothers and concubines in the Zongren Mansion.
What else is there to be dissatisfied with? "
"Just keep it away. I wonder what the emperor's sister-in-law wants to discuss with my brother about your majesty?"
Chen Jie took the pot and poured herself a cup of fragrant tea, then nodded and thought for a while.
"Before Aijia says, you should tell me what's wrong with you. On the street, Aijia saw you in a state of despair.
What's wrong? Did some blind person offend you? "
Liu Mingzhi's face froze. Unexpectedly, Chen Jie mentioned the troubles that he had almost suppressed.
After taking a sip of tea, Liu Mingzhi stared at the tea in his hand and his eyes gradually darkened. His mind was filled with the plans of the harem drink and what Li Ye said in the imperial study the day before yesterday.
As he thought about it, Liu Mingzhi's arms couldn't help but tremble.
After a long time, Liu Mingzhi drank the warm tea in his hand and looked at Chen Jie opposite, whose eyes were full of doubts.
"Sister-in-law, is there really no one in the house?"
"It's really gone. Except for Gao Jin who brings people to clean it regularly, the Prince's Mansion is just an empty house on weekdays. Brother-in-law, you ask..."
Chen Jie's expression was stunned as she spoke, and she stared blankly at Young Master Liu with a faint look in her eyes. Her delicate body subconsciously shrank back.
"You...what do you mean?"
Liu Mingzhi gently put down the tea cup in his hand: "Didn't the Queen's Wife say that she wanted Brother Chen to help you solve some matters concerning His Majesty?"
"Yes...that's right!"
Liu Mingzhi stood up directly and approached Chen Jie.
Chen Jie seemed to understand something and instinctively retreated back. Her phoenix eyes looked at Liu Mingzhi who was approaching her in panic.
"You...brother-in-law, what are you going to do? Please calm down and don't act recklessly. The Ai family is the empress dowager and your sister-in-law."
Liu Mingzhi suddenly bent down, reached out and took Chen Jie's wrist in his hand, and lifted it slightly.
Compared to Qi Yun and the Qi Ya sisters, Chen Jie is really just a weak woman who has no power to restrain a chicken.
Liu Mingzhi was at the half-step innate realm. Even with a slight exertion, Chen Jie, a weak woman, could not resist. Liu Mingzhi easily lifted him up from the ground and forcefully pulled him in front of him.
Chen Jie looked at Liu Mingzhi who was staring at her with eager eyes. Her delicate body trembled involuntarily. Her snow-white jade neck kept sliding while she swallowed the fluid produced due to nervousness.
Although for some reasons she had already had an affair with the man in front of her that was not consensual and was naturally strong when the love was deep, Chen Jie's heart still trembled.
With the shyness of a daughter, her status as a widow, and her feelings for her late husband Li Baiyu, Chen Jie still couldn't calmly accept some of the actions this man might do to her next.
"You are so brave, let go of Aijia, what are you going to do?
Liu Mingzhi, calm down. Do you know what you are doing now? Aijia is your royal sister-in-law! "
"Ha... A man and a woman live together in the same room, and the emperor's wife is not a young girl who has not yet left the palace and has no care for others. Don't you know what my brother is going to do to you?
Besides, are you just my royal wife?
I don’t need to say more about our relationship. You should know it better than I do!
The king had originally planned to seal up what happened in the palace that day and never mention it to anyone again, as if it had never happened.
But you have to send it to your door again.
Weren't you very bold two years ago? Don't you want to throw yourself naked into the arms of this king?
I didn’t touch you just because I abide by my duty and don’t want to be the unjust person. But how did you treat me? Would you like me to carefully review what happened that day?
Chen Jie? Do you really think that I, Liu Mingzhi, am Liu Xiahui who is still pregnant? "
In the royal study room, because Li Ye mentioned military power, the two of them kept drinking at each other absentmindedly. They didn't know exactly how much they drank to kill Liu Mingzhi.
Nearly an hour passed, and the drunkenness inevitably started to rise.
Now Chen Jie once again mentioned in front of Liu Mingzhi why he was so troubled and lonely, and Liu Mingzhi recalled what he had done to the court in these years.
In his mind, he couldn't help but think of Chen Jie's drugging of him in Yi'an Palace, coupled with Li Ye's sideways words today to take back his rights, it was inevitable that he would feel a little angry.
It can be said that I have given Li Ye all the efforts of an elder and a minister.
But it actually resulted in a result that the king would not tolerate.
How could Liu Mingzhi pretend to be fine?
The human heart is the strength of the flesh, and Liu Mingzhi is also a living person, not a fairy who has no desires or desires.
How did I treat you, the Li family royal family, and how did you, the Li family royal family, treat me?
Is it fair?
The more he thought about Liu Mingzhi, the more confused his mind became.
Seeing Chen Jie's frightened and beautiful face, Liu Mingzhi breathed out a strong breath of alcohol, ignored Chen Jie's struggle, grabbed Chen Jie's wrist and walked towards the back of the screen.
"Brother-in-law! Liu Mingzhi! Do you know what you are doing?"
Liu Mingzhi turned his head and looked coldly at the struggling Chen Jie, pulled Chen Jie into his arms with a little force, and looked down at Chen Jie's panic-stricken eyes.
“I can’t just bear the blame for the harem’s adultery.
Don't you want to hold the handle that can kill me?
This king will help you and give you this opportunity!
A harem of fornication is also a harem of fornication, and I don’t mind doing it again.
Anyway, they are all punishable by death, so what should I fear? "
After Liu Mingzhi finished speaking, he picked up the struggling Chen Jie by the waist, hugged her delicate body and walked towards the screen.
On the way, he extinguished the candle that had just been lit in the room.
The room suddenly became dark, and only the bright moonlight penetrated through the cracks in the window, making it possible to vaguely see something in the room.
For a moment, the sound of broken clothes and a faintly charming note of unwillingness came from the quiet room.
In the pavilion outside the house, Gao Jin listened to the ambiguous noise coming into his ears, kept walking, and looked at the room where the noise came from from time to time.
After much hesitation, I never dared to step forward to disturb him.
It's not that Gao Jin is disloyal, but that Gao Jin's mind is full of those words that his second ancestor Qian Lu meant not long ago.
The owner hasn't called for help yet, so it must be voluntary, right? Otherwise, why would you invite King Bingjian to meet in the prince's house where no one cares about him?
Gao Jin took one last look at the main room and quietly stepped back.
The moon is at the zenith.
The clouds disappeared and the rain stopped, the room was filled with the lingering feeling of spring, and the lights came on again.
Liu Mingzhi leaned on the bedside and sneered at Chen Jie's petite and angry posture wrapped in a brocade quilt.
"You can't tell. The emperor's sister-in-law, who is usually so dignified and virtuous, with an elegant and charming temperament, is even more crazy than Pan Jinlian, the beautiful lady!"
