After Eunuch Huang left, Yu Xiheng sat alone next to Lin and Juan Juan for a while. He looked at the pale faces of mother and daughter, with noisy anger in his eyes.
After a long time, several men in black appeared silently outside the door.
His expression calmed down, he lowered his head, and kissed the back of Lin's hand with his pale and sickly thin lips. The ends of his raised eyes were a little dark red, as if there were hooks hidden in them.
The girl from Huichun Hall said that her recovery power was amazing and her wounds were treated very well. At this rate, she would be healed in less than half a month.
But he knew in his heart that Ah Yue was very weak when she first got married. He had to take care of her for several years before she got better. There was no such thing as good recovery.
There are many people visiting Shangshufu every day, and he also has many enemies. When he was pregnant with Juanjuan, he happened to offend someone in the court, and he was afraid of being implicated, so he sent Ah Yue to Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Beijing, but something happened to her, and she was too frightened and suffered from physical problems.
This is the second time.
Yu Xiheng felt indebted, and lowered his eyes, which became even redder and a little moist.
He stood up and walked to Juan Juan, looking at the little guy's steady breathing and pale sleeping face, he rubbed his soft white cheek with his beautiful and slender fingers, then lowered his head and planted a kiss on her forehead.
Juanjuan, you were wrong when we first met. Dad doesn’t only care about mother.
Daddy still cares about you.
"When dad avenges the baby, we Juanjuan will wake up, okay..."
He tucked the quilt in and gently coaxed her as usual.
The little guy seemed to feel it. He buried his soft little face in the quilt, found a comfortable position and fell asleep.
Yu Xiheng asked a maid to go in and guard him, then closed the door and left. The men in black followed him silently, walking very steadily, which showed that they were well-founded.
"Are they two back?" Yu Xiheng's clear voice came slowly.
"The eldest young master is rushing home. The second young master has already entered the city at this time. He is walking in a hurry. He will probably arrive soon."
Yu Xiheng hummed slightly and didn't ask anything.
at this time--
The imperial censor Shi Liang was sitting in Yixiangyuan having fun. He was hugging him from left to right, and his life was very nourishing.
Just to delay entering the palace, the Zhao family gave him a thousand taels of gold.
The moment he opened the box, his eyes were dazzled by the brilliant gold.
He rubbed his hands happily and thought that he could do more good things like this in the future.
He does not need to bear the anger, but the benefits are all his. If he knew that the Zhao family was so happy to give money, he would have delayed a little longer!
After thinking this way, he took out another gold ingot from his pocket and threw it to the madam boldly, "Call me two more beauties. I won't be short of money."
The old bustard took the gold, smiled brightly, and said flatteringly: "Okay, I'll go find you the most beautiful girl in our Yichun Courtyard."
When going out, the madam was still wondering: This person usually comes to the brothel to search, why is he so generous today? Is it possible that you got rich somewhere?
But she doesn't care. If you have money, you are the boss.
She walked to the room at the top of the brothel and called the two girls, "Begonia, Bai Shao, you go and serve Mr. Shi."
The two beautiful girls twisted around reluctantly, "Mom, he is old, ugly and always tormenting others, so I don't want to go~"
The madam's expression immediately changed, from a cheerful smile to a cold and threatening expression, "How dare you pick someone in this line of work? If you don't go, watch your skin carefully!"
The two girls looked at each other, bit their lips and reluctantly went out.
Shi Liang heard a knock on the door and thought it was the beauty coming. With his face flushed from drinking, he walked to open the door unsteadily.
Already drunk, he muttered, "Beauty~ I'm here..."
After opening the door impatiently, what caught his eye was a handsome, gentle and steady man.
Shi Liang was stunned. He was so drunk that he didn't recognize this face. Instead, he thought it was the one the madam found for him.
"A man?" He was stunned for a while, swallowed after seeing the man's dazzling appearance, raised his hand to touch his face, and murmured, "A man is fine too..."
When he stretched out his hand, the man spoke, with a coldness and sarcasm in his tone, but he didn't hear it: "Master Yushi has such a good memory, I can't recognize him even if I haven't seen him for a day." Me."
This familiar tone suddenly made the censor sober.
Of course he was familiar with it. Every morning in the morning, the owner of this voice would make people speechless with weird words. A few days ago, he said a few words for the Wen family during the court, and he was immediately criticized until he blushed. I couldn't lift my head for several days.
After seeing this gentle and sharp face clearly, he sobered up by eight points.
I don't know whether it was because of a guilty conscience or something else, but his hands trembled and his lips trembled, "Sir, Lord Shangshu."
Shi Liang was a first-rank official, and Yu Xiheng was a second-rank official. Logically speaking, he shouldn't be so afraid, but there was one difference between them. Yu Xiheng was a powerful minister, and he was not.
Not only did he have power, he was also a close minister of the emperor.
His title of "sir" was respectful, but also a sign of guilty conscience.
But he saw that the man had a smile on his face and looked very gentle. He didn't look like he was here to ask questions.
Shi Liang's mind turned over and over again, his heart lifted and put down again.
That's right, although Yu Xiheng is a powerful minister, his rank is here. No matter what, he can never slap himself in the face directly. Even if he is holding his breath in his heart, he will always look good.
Thinking of this, he breathed a sigh of relief, and a third of his drunkenness came back to him.
He patted Yu Xiheng's shoulder like a 'good brother', his old face flushed with drunkenness, "Come in, let's come in and talk..."
What he didn't know was that Yu Xiheng always liked to be polite first and then use force when doing things.
In the house, several prostitutes were dressed in messy clothes, and the gauze wrapped around their bodies was not exposed. The unpleasant smell could tell people what just happened at a glance.
He lay in the beauty's arms, squinted his eyes in comfort, and then sighed happily.
He guessed that the purpose of Yu Xiheng's trip was because of the incident involving the Queen Mother. Could it be that she came to ask him for news?
He touched his chin and thought, if he gave more than the Zhao family, he wouldn't mind giving the Zhao family away.
"That's right!" He suddenly raised his head, his eyes sparkling, "How is your wife? Nothing serious happened. The Queen Mother should have acted in a measured way..."
He smiled and continued, "Actually, when one of the women is gone, another one will be replaced. The reason you only love her now is because you haven't seen her enough. When you meet more, you will love more... You Look at these, who is gentle and petty and not as comfortable as the bad wife at home? I just ordered two top cards, and I will share one with you later. As long as you taste it once, you will know the taste..."
Yu Xiheng thought expressionlessly:
He was really too lazy to continue acting.
Shi Liang smiled and noticed that the temperature in the room had dropped. The prostitute who was rubbing his shoulders and legs stopped at some point and squatted aside with a white face.
Yu Xiheng, with his long legs crossed and a loose posture, saw him looking over and said in a mocking and teasing voice: "Go on, Master Yushi."
These four words were called extremely mocking by him.
No matter how stupid Shi Liang was, he should have realized something was wrong. He opened his mouth and swallowed, "What do you mean?"
"It's not interesting." His clear voice came, and the thick fog in the valley melted in his eyes, followed by the light rain, which gave rise to a sense of fear of the unknown.
He took out the dagger from his hand at some point, and the cold light bloomed like a cold white frost flower in his eyes.
"I heard that Master Yushi likes to chat, and I happen to have something on my mind, so I came to talk to you."
How could Shi Liang believe this? When he noticed the man in black behind Yu Xiheng, he suddenly felt flustered and short of breath, and felt a little dry.
"I, your wife's matter has nothing to do with me! Why did you come to me?!"
Yu Xiheng leaned forward, and the dagger in his hand pressed against Shi Liang's face at some point. The enlarged handsome face only made him feel creepy.
The women in the wing were all frightened and were all kicked out by the men in black.
"Nothing to do with you?"
Shi Liang's face stung a little from the pressure of the dagger, and a moist and sticky liquid flowed down.
He didn't dare to shake his head, his pupils were trembling, "No, it's not me, it was the Chen family who gave me the money..."
Yu Xiheng chuckled lightly and took down the knife. Looking at his tearful look, the sinister and fierce look in his eyes faded away, and his tone was the same as usual, calm and calm, "I said I came here to have a heart-to-heart talk with you, sir." , what are you so afraid of?"
Shi Liang was even more frightened by his attitude and kept shaking his head.
"It's not me, it's really none of my business..."
"You went to the Chen family because the Chen family forced me to do it..."
Yu Xiheng was unhurried and turned a deaf ear to his words. He said to himself, "Sir, do you think I came here today to hear you shirk your responsibilities?"
His dark eyes moved, and no matter how hard he suppressed them, they could not hide the anger in them.
"My wife is seriously injured, my daughter is unconscious, but the censor says it's none of your business."
He paused, "Is this what you should say?"
Shi Liang's face turned pale and he stared at him in fear.
"I don't know. I really don't know that they are so serious. I am only responsible for holding back the emperor. I don't know anything else!"
As if feeling that the man's patience was about to run out, Shi Liang felt anxious to clear up the relationship, "I helped them out of my mind at first, but now I regret it. I'll give you all the money the Chen family gave me, okay?" "
"I can also go and apologize to your lady and young lady. I can do whatever you want, as long as you let me go..."
Yu Xiheng looked at him with a cold face, indifferent to these urgent words of loyalty.
After touching his weak point and still wanting to escape unscathed, how can there be such a good thing in this world?
The long silence was the final answer given to him.
Shi Liang's figure was trembling and his voice was hoarse as he asked, "Are you really going to attack me? You know, the Zhao family is behind me. Let me go once and I can pretend that nothing happened today."
He had always regarded women as nothing more than clothing, and he could not understand that Yu Xiheng would do something that was equivalent to cutting off his official career. He was not the only one in this court, and there were many people who could compete with him.
Yu Xiheng leaned back in his chair, his voice a bit lazy and cold, "So what?"
These words reached Shi Liang's ears. He closed his eyes in despair, knowing that he could not escape today. He laughed hoarsely, "You will definitely regret what you did today."
"If you touch me, it won't be easy for you! Even the emperor can't protect you! Haha! I will watch your family fall into hell with my own eyes! The people you cherish will become prisoners. Remember, you are mine today. tomorrow!"
Yu Xiheng's patience ran out, and he stood up slowly, turned the dagger in his hand, and said in a cold voice, almost word for word, "It won't happen one day."
"You'll die before that happens."
