The medicinal food is served on the table, and the heat hits your face.

Fang Xu held the porcelain bowl in one hand, took a ladle of soup, blew it gently, and handed it to Shen Ji's mouth.

Shen Ji lowered his head to drink, his cheeks stained with a hint of blush, like a young boy.

After finishing a bowl of medicinal food, Shen Ji suddenly raised his eyes and looked at her closely, but said nothing.

Fang Xu was confused and asked softly, "Why are you staring at me?"

Shen Ji looked at her with a smile, looking as beautiful as a spring mountain, "I went to Zhuoxian County and narrowly escaped death. Before I fell into coma, I just thought about how great it would be if I could see my wife again."

Fang Xu's hand holding the spoon tightened, his eyes collided with his, and he lost his mind.

"Ma'am, I miss you so much."

Although his words were frivolous, Shen Ji sat upright, never overstepping even a little bit.

The young master is as beautiful as jade, worthy of being the most beautiful in the world.

Fang Xu moved his fingertips slightly and opened his mouth, wanting to respond to his feelings.

"Madam, have you ever missed me?"

The words on his lips were interrupted by Shen Ji. Fang Xu raised his eyes and met his smiling eyes.

"I must be thinking about you."

Shen Ji talked to himself, as if he was completely sure.

Fang Xu raised his eyebrows and couldn't help laughing, "Why are you so confident?"

"I saw it." Shen Ji tilted his head, with a smile in his eyes, "Madam didn't know I was coming before, but the tea I often drink is warm in the room."

Fang Xu was surprised, lowered his eyes, looked at the tea cup in his hand, and was speechless for a moment.

"Madam likes sweetness. If it weren't for me, how could she prepare Pu'er with a bitter taste?"

Shen Ji stared at her and smiled, the gloomy look between his brows and eyes having long since dissipated.

"You are very attentive."

Fang Xu did not deny what he said, but to Shen Ji, this was a disguised admission.

She misses him.

Shen Ji raised his eyes, his eyes were filled with stars, his gaze fell on her face, and he said warmly, "Madam, wait for me for a few days."

Fang Xu understood what he meant, nodded in agreement, and said softly, "Okay."

Yuan Chen's brows were knitted into a tight knot, and he stared at the memorial on the table in silence.

Xie Li stood alone in the audience, his tone was calm, as if he was talking about an insignificant matter, "Your Majesty, Xia Zhao has a vicious temper and behaves like a villain. It is really difficult for him to hold a big position."

Looking at the memorial in front of him, Yuan Chen sighed softly, "Just because he sent you a beautiful maid when Lady Song was pregnant, you have to file a memorial and beg me to demote him. It is too unjustifiable."

"If this is the case, how will others view you when they view me this way?"

Without changing his expression, Xie Li took out a crumpled piece of paper from his arms and whispered, "What if there are a few more lives?"

Yuan Chen raised his eyebrows and glanced at Zhuo Ming beside him.

Zhuo Ming reacted, bowed and trotted off the stage, took the physical evidence from Xie Li's hand, held it in both hands, and handed it to the emperor.

The paper had already turned yellow, and there was an indescribable sour smell.

Yuan Chen covered his nose, glanced at the audience in surprise, and whispered, "It's hard for you."

Xie Li could bear the nausea of ​​such a strong-smelling thing and put it in his sleeve.

It seemed that Xia Zhao was really angry.

<divclass="contentadv">Xie Li's mouth twitched and he lowered his eyes, not wanting to see his teasing eyes.

Yuan Chen lowered his head, his eyes quickly scanned the words on the paper, his brows furrowed tighter, and he said in a deep voice, "Xia Zhao is actually like this..."

"Xia Zhao is lustful and loves women the most. He often tortures the maids in his house. He has several lives in his hands, including his sister, who cannot escape."

Xie Li looked cold and whispered, "His sister Xia Miao was defiled by him and could not bear the humiliation. She was hanged at home. However, he put the blame on General Song and repeatedly targeted the minister's wife."

"What a lunatic!" Yuan Chen cursed in a low voice, raised his hand and brushed the paper aside on the table, disgusted with it, "Demotion is an advantage for him!"

Xie Li took another dose of strong medicine without haste, "Besides, before the emperor ascended the throne, he used to be from Cen Zhenjiang."

"This man is so ambitious that if he is left by his side, it will be difficult to protect him from danger. Please make a decision early, Your Majesty."

Yuan Chen nodded, looked at Zhuo Ming, and whispered, "Xia Zhao has bad conduct, acts crazy, and mutilates young girls. He doesn't need to be demoted. He can be thrown directly into the heavenly prison and sentenced to death."

Zhuo Ming quickly agreed and whispered, "Yes."

As the sun sets, there are fewer and fewer pedestrians on the street. The vendors are all shouting about selling at low prices, just hoping to get money for their journey home.

Where no one cares, thick smoke rises.

"The Yongcheng Hou Mansion is in trouble!"

Someone shouted something, breaking the silence. People on the street stopped and looked in the direction of the Hou Mansion.

In the west corner, black smoke billowed.

Xie Li just came out of the palace and passed by the East Market. He wanted to bring two sweet cakes to Song Huixin. Suddenly he heard someone talking about a fire. His heart sank inexplicably. He quickly grabbed someone and asked, "Where is the fire?"

When the man saw him, he was stunned for a moment, and then he immediately came to his senses, "Master Xie, why are you out there? Come home and take a look. The Yongcheng Hou Mansion has been flooded. The fire is so intense that it can't be suppressed." !”

As soon as the words fell, Xie Li felt his eyes go dark, and the sudden blow made him unable to stand.

"Sir!"

"go home quickly!"

Xie Liqiang steadied his body, raised his feet and rushed in the direction of the carriage. He no longer looked as calm as usual.

The Yongcheng Hou Mansion was usually very charitable and had accumulated a lot of good popularity. Once he was in trouble, the people spontaneously followed him to see if they could do anything for the nobleman.

When the carriage arrived outside the house, Xie Li jumped out of the carriage without waiting for a footrest and looked toward his home.

The door of the Hou Mansion was already scorched black. Zeng Tianya led a group of servants to carry water back and forth, but they could not suppress the flames.

Yun Heng stood guard at the door, with patches of black and white on his face, and his original appearance was no longer visible.

Outside the door, Liu Fanyin was holding Xie Yinyin, her eyes were red. Standing beside her was Granny Yuan, who was a little stooped, and Miao Xuan was supporting her.

"Mrs. Prince, you can't break in!"

Yun Heng saw Song Huixin next to him about to make a move, and stopped her quickly with quick eyes and hands, and said loudly, "The fire inside is out of control. If you go in, you won't even want to take this little head!"

"Let me go!" Song Huixin's eyes were splitting as he stared at the Hou Mansion, his voice was hoarse and he was crying faintly, "My mother is still inside... I'm going to save her!"

Yun Heng remained motionless and allowed her to be beaten and scolded, but he would never let her in.

"what on earth is it!"

Xie Li rushed to the door, his eyes were red, and his fists were clenched tightly, as if he was on the verge of collapse.

When Song Huixin heard a familiar voice, he looked back and saw Xie Li. The tears he held back finally slipped down, and he raised his voice and said, "Xie Li, mother is still inside, please save her!"

When Xie Li heard this, his face turned pale and he was about to rush in.

"Your Majesty!" Yun Heng stopped Song Huixin with one hand, and also took care of Xie Li, "The smoke in the backyard is so thick that it's hard to see anyone. Uncle Qi told me not to let anyone in again!"

"Let go." Xie Li stared at him, his tone was frighteningly cold, "It's my mother inside. If I don't save her, who can save her?"
