My bad words were heard by all the civil and military officials in the court

Zhou Lin slipped and fell down the second-floor stairs in front of all the diners.

In a trance, I remembered the bad words Ye Shengxin said in a low voice a quarter of an hour ago.

The ceramic fragments are right in front of you.

As he rolled down rapidly, Zhou Lin changed from holding his head with his hands to covering his buttocks with his hands.

But the result is——

A sharp corner of an upright ceramic fragment passed through the gap between his fingers and pointed directly towards his delicate buttocks.

It penetrated deeply.

Zhou Lin's rough face twisted for a moment, but he quickly restrained his expression in front of the stunned people in the restaurant.

He pretended to be calm, stood up, walked quickly to the counter, took out his purse, paid the bill and left.

After a moment, someone in the quiet restaurant said in a daze:

"That man looked very familiar to me. He was very similar to my superior in the Imperial Guard."

The colleague beside him tucked his chin in, came back to his senses, and slapped him on the head.

His voice was calm but he could not hide his panic. "What nonsense! How could this man be Commander Zhou? You must have seen it wrong."

"Is it?"

"Yes, how could that guy with a bleeding butt be the wise and brave Commander Zhou?"

"Everyone in the capital of my Zhou Kingdom knows that Commander Zhou is a very skilled fighter who can take the head of an enemy from a distance of 100 meters. How could he fall on a small staircase?"

The man convinced himself.

As a good subordinate, he looked at the diners, raised his head and chest, and affirmed:

"This must be a huge misunderstanding."

Someone responded with a smile: "I guess we are short-sighted and have misjudged it."

"Yes, yes, let's continue eating and drinking. Let's continue eating and drinking."

Amid the noise, Ye Shengxin packed up the uneaten pastries and came downstairs, breathing heavily.

I saw the waiter and grabbed him to ask:

"General Zhou Linzhou, who just walked out of the same box with me, has he paid the bill?"

The waiter was stunned for a moment. After reacting, he glanced at the diners who suddenly stopped eating and stammered:

"Pay...pay the bill."

Ye Shengxin went out with peace of mind.

All that was left were the diners with interested eyes, gossipy spirits quickly aroused, and two young men with blushing faces.

Zhou Lin returned home. With the doctor's treatment and his wife's caring words, he gradually forgot about the embarrassing incident in Pingyang Restaurant.

He was completely focused on finding the remnants of the previous dynasty.

But he didn't know that the common people in the capital could quickly spread the news that the powerful Xuanyuan Yu had lost his upper front teeth.

As a third-rank general, he naturally could not escape their clutches.

The arrangement of his affairs fermented from noon to evening.

There are several versions of how he fell down the stairs and got a puncture on his buttocks that bled.

The most widely circulated story, which was also sent to the desk of Emperor Jingming, was that he had a secret meeting with a man in a restaurant and his chrysanthemum was lost.

The most important thing is that the pretty boy he had a tryst with was the one mentioned above.

As a big and strong man, he was naturally at a disadvantage.

Still can't stand the hassle.

But in just two quarters of an hour, his anus was bleeding and he fled from the restaurant in a panic.

Emperor Jingming looked at the eunuch who was reporting, his mouth twitched, and he raised his hand to support his forehead.

"Eunuch Lin, I remember that General Zhou and his wife were deeply in love, and it was a good story in the capital."

Eunuch Lin frowned and said, "Your Majesty, these rumors are just gossip among the people. They cannot be taken seriously."

Emperor Jingming naturally knew that it couldn't be true.

I can only sigh silently that under his governance, the people's ability to organize people has improved.

Well, at least it indirectly shows that he governed the Zhou Kingdom well.

-

Ye Shengxin was unaware of what had happened, and after returning to the Ye Mansion, he quickly returned to his own yard.

After sending all the servants out of the yard, he closed the doors and windows.

He took another bronze mirror, lay on the bed, and quickly took off his pants, trying to pull out the wooden splinter through the relatively smooth surface of the mirror.

The system automatically blocked the outside world, and after hearing Ye Xingxin's gasp, it asked with concern:

[Host, have you pulled it out? ]

Ye Xingxin burst into tears, [No, it went in, I couldn't turn my head away, so I couldn't see it.]

After working so hard for a while, sweat broke out on his forehead and Ye Shengxin felt like his neck was cramping.

But there's nothing I can do about that thorn.

[How about finding a maid to help? ]

Ye Xingxin shook his head: "Looking for men or women with my status is just like a hooligan. If I'm not careful, I may even lose my life. This method won't work."

"Think of another one."

System: [How about you try cupping? ]

“Cupping?”

Ye Shengxin's eyes lit up, he put on his pants and got out of bed.

At this moment, a sound was heard outside.

"Second Young Master, someone is coming from the palace."

It was Dongshi, the servant of the original body.

[Someone is coming from the palace? What is this old emperor going to do next? ]

[I have taken the token. Zhou Lin shouldn't be so petty as to report her previous excuse.]

With this question in mind, Ye Shengxin and a group of people from the Ye family kowtowed in front of the main hall.

In the palace, after reviewing the memorials, Emperor Jingming was testing his youngest son's homework in the imperial garden.

Hearing Ye Shengxin's thoughts again, the veins on his forehead twitched.

What's going on?

Are you talking about him, the Emperor of Zhou?

Emperor Jingming's eyes darkened.

This Ye Shengxin looks like a coward, but he is actually very bold and reckless when he speaks in private.

How dare you frame him like this.

Really...

"Father...Father, I have finished reciting the sutra."

The eighteenth prince Xuanyuan Huhan looked timidly at his father, who suddenly had a cold face, and answered with his neck shrunk.

The hands hidden under the sleeves were clenched tightly.

He did not forget to glance secretly at the side of the rockery, and saw the eunuch who was holding a white paper and giving him hints improvisationally, feeling panic-stricken.

The emperor's mood suddenly changed. Did he find out that he was cheating?

"Have you finished reciting it?"

Emperor Jingming looked at his youngest son with anger in his eyes.

"You didn't do anything weird, did you?"

He was also very angry and was influenced by Ye Shengxin, so Emperor Jingming spoke casually.

As soon as he landed, Xuanyuan Huhan fell to his knees with a plop.

"Father, your son...your son..."

His eyes were panic-stricken and his head was pressed against the ground.

The emperor attached great importance to the studies of his sons. He was young and had a sweet mouth.

He is favored more than his other brothers, but he has no talent in academics.

In order to please his father, with the help of Zhao Gao, he used the same trick several times and succeeded every time.

This time, my father asked this, but what did he discover?

Xuanyuan Huhan's heart was beating like a drum.

His limited wisdom and mouse-like courage prevented him from even trying to test his wise and powerful father.

He chose a method that could still cover up the past.

"Father, I did think of a way to cope with the school exam. It was... it was my fault. Please punish me, Father."

As he spoke, Xuanyuan Huhan spread out his palm, which contained a few words on governing the world that he had copied from Zhao Gao in advance.

These were all words of praise from Emperor Jingming for answers that strayed from the topic during the school examination.

Staring at the blurred handwriting on his youngest son's palm caused by sweat, Emperor Jingming laughed angrily.

He didn't expect that a casual remark of his would cause his youngest son to fail academically in front of him.

His face suddenly darkened, "Did you deal with the Master in this way before?"
