King Yi still remembered the way Wen Ruoqi looked at Juan Juan just now. His eyes were stern, he stepped on Wen Ruoqi's hand and bent down, "I'm warning you, don't have any thoughts that you shouldn't have."
Wen Ruoqi's face was pressed to the ground, and he was so hard that he couldn't breathe. The sarcasm flashed in his eyes.
It’s okay to be afraid, haha.
Yu Xiheng pushed the door open and walked in. He glanced at the embarrassed Wen Ruoqi with emotionless eyes, then walked to the desk and picked up the file slowly, his voice calm and gentle.
"Master Wen keeps his mouth so tight, does he think he still has room to turn around?"
Wen Ruoqi closed his eyes, completely ignoring him.
Yu Xiheng was not annoyed either. There was a cat-and-mouse teasing in his eyes like the clear moon, which seemed to be mocking but also a bit sharp.
"Your Excellency, how much is the position of Xiaguan, the Minister of Household Affairs, worth in your eyes?"
The words came out like a hammer, making Wen Ruoqi's head buzz.
He opened his eyes in disbelief, trying to find any clues on Yu Xiheng's face.
However, the man's half-smiling eyes and casual smile told Wen Ruoqi an answer.
He knew, he actually knew? How could he know!
Although Wen Ruoqi noticed that his emotions were exposed and immediately tried to regain his composure, he was still discovered by Yu Xiheng.
"Why, Master Wen, can't you estimate the price?"
Wen Ruoqi's temples were beating violently, and he suppressed the overwhelming shock in his heart and remained silent.
He kept telling himself that no matter how much the other party knew, no matter how much the other party frightened him, he could not speak. If he spoke at this time, he would say something he shouldn't say because of his emotional instability.
King Yi noticed the change in his mood and moved his feet away, giving him room to breathe.
Yu Xiheng tugged at his lips. From the time he heard Juan Juan's heartfelt voice to now, he had already made a good guess.
Every year, there would be a huge sum of money silently added to the Wen family's ledger, and the source could not be traced. He had also checked the accounts of the Account Department four times, but could not find a flaw.
But if you are selling your official position, then you can get it right. But judging from the amount, the Wen family should get a small amount.
There are not ten people in the capital who can still have the upper hand in doing business with the Wen family.
There are only three people who can get the emperor's personal seal.
Thinking about it this way, the identity of the person with the big head is easy to guess, right?
Yu Xiheng knelt down and looked into Wen Ruoqi's eyes. He didn't know what was brewing in his dark eyes. The light and shadow flickered, which was breathtaking.
Wen Ruoqi didn't know anyone else, but he felt frightened and couldn't help but dodge his eyes for a moment.
Immediately afterwards, he heard the other party's voice that was cold to the bone, with a bewitching feeling that made people couldn't help but follow what he said and answer.
"Master Wen, let me take a guess. You already knew that someone would come to rescue you later, right?"
Wen Ruoqi turned away, his pupils trembling.
Yu Xiheng's voice was calm, "Besides, that person will have something in his hand that the official can't refuse."
Wen Ruoqi pursed his lips tightly, but the sweat on his forehead still revealed the fear in his heart.
"Why are you nervous? The one who should be nervous should be the official."
"There are only three people in the capital who can freely enter and leave the palace and obtain the emperor's private seal."
His thin lips parted slightly, "One is His Highness King Yi."
The veins on Wen Ruoqi's forehead were throbbing, and finally he couldn't hold it in any longer. He stared at Yu Xiheng with his red eyes and shouted in fear, "Shut up!"
"One is the Queen." His cold and steady voice was unhurried and his eyes were unwavering. "The last one is -"
"Shut up! I told you to shut up-"
When he was about to tell who that person was, Wen Ruoqi shouted like crazy. King Yi was afraid that he would lose his mind and hurt Yu Xiheng, so he kicked him away.
"It's okay, Sir, continue." King Yi looked at Yu Xiheng and gave him a 'I'm here' look.
Hearing the chaotic footsteps approaching from far away, Yu Xiheng curved his lips and smiled, elegantly and calmly.
"She is coming."
"The Queen Mother's decree has arrived——"
Yu Xiheng glanced at Wen Ruoqi with a half-smile, then lifted up his robe and knelt down towards Yizhi.
After the leading eunuch finished reciting the decree, he waved his hand behind him, and two young eunuchs immediately stepped forward to help Wen Ruoqi up.
"Mr. Wen will be taken away by our family. The Queen Mother is waiting to see you. The two adults will not send him off."
The eunuch looked arrogant. After he left, King Yi sat down on the chair, leaned back and said angrily, "How could it be her..."
Yu Xiheng put the file away, his thin red lips curved, and there was a bit of pleasure in his tone.
"Your Highness, I will go back first."
King Yi looked at him in confusion, extremely puzzled, "Why do I see Mr. so happy?"
Of course Yu Xiheng was happy. The emperor asked him to interrogate Wen Ruoqi these two days. Now Wen Ruoqi was taken away by the Queen Mother, so he can stay at home with A Yue and Juanjuan these two days.
But he didn't say this. He just smiled and said, "Of course I'm happy to go home."
"That's right." King Yi looked away and nodded with a clear face.
If he gave birth to a daughter as cute as Juan Juan, he would be happy to go home, even if he didn't go home.
The door opened with a creak, and King Yi said, "I will go into the palace to see the emperor later. Sir, please help me bring Sui'an back."
Juanjuan was extremely happy after knowing that his father came home so early today.
When she comes back to take her father back, her mother will be very happy to steam her a lot of fragrant and soft pastries!
Juanjuan couldn't wait to take a sip of saliva. He was still on the road, but his heart had already flown home hundreds of steps ahead of schedule.
Mom, pastries and rolls are back!
However--
Juan Juan, who had been spanked, turned his back to his father, mother and everyone in the room. He squatted alone in the corner and cried into a small ball of grievances.
[Juanjuan takes daddy home, Juanjuan is a good one~
My mother is playing rolls, my mother is bad! ! ! 】
【Don’t smile at your mother again! Unless my mother buys me candied haws, sugar paintings with white patterns, dragon beard cakes, eight-treasure duck...]
Yu Xiheng couldn't hold it back and chuckled, then was glared back by Lin with a harmless look.
"Wrong, madam." He begged softly.
As she kept mumbling, Juan Juan told herself that she was hungry again. She took a sip of water and then got angry at being fat.
Lin listened to her thoughts and finally shook her head helplessly.
She walked out and came back not long after. When she came back, she was holding a plate of exquisite snacks that had just been taken out of the steamer.
This overbearing fragrance instantly drew Juan Juan's soul away.
Mrs. Lin squatted next to Juan Juan with the plate of snacks in hand, looking down at her with both distressed and gentle eyes.
"Mother got Juanjuan today, so I apologized to Juanjuan. It's my fault. But Juanjuan ran away secretly without telling mother today, which made mother worried for a long time. Do I have to apologize to mother too?" ?”
