Husband, please lend me your virtues

The second daughter of the Yan family was riding in a carriage back to the Changle Marquis Mansion alone with resentment, but the coachman stopped in an alley not far from the Changle Marquis Mansion.

The second daughter of the Yan family pushed open the curtain angrily and got off the carriage, intending to scold the coachman for stopping for no reason. As soon as she got off the carriage, she bumped into a person under her feet.

She took a closer look. Wasn't this her eldest brother? How could he lie here, so close to the Marquis's Mansion and not go back? The second girl of the Yan family kicked him and found that Yan'e was groaning in pain.

At this time, the second girl of the Yan family felt more attached to Yan E as a brother than to his title, so she asked the coachman and several maids to move Yan E to the carriage.

After returning to the Marquis Changle's Mansion, after a period of chaos, everyone in the mansion received the bad news that the Marquis Changle was poisoned, and their medical skills were limited and they could not detoxify the Marquis.

The old lady of Changle Marquis saw that there was one person missing from the crowd and asked unhappily, "Where is He? As Dalang's wife, she should stay by his side now that Dalang is injured."

"Mother, my sister-in-law has been favored by Princess Qinghe and is living with her in a villa in the suburbs."

The second daughter of the Yan family said sourly, and she came up with a good idea, "Mother is right, my eldest brother has been harmed by a villain, and it is the time when my eldest sister-in-law needs to serve him. Why don't I go to the Princess's villa and invite my eldest sister-in-law back?"

If she could replace He and be favored by Princess Qinghe, and become friends with Princess Qinghe, then using Princess Qinghe's influence, it would be perfect to pick a husband for herself.

"Zhi'er, your elder brother's life or death is unknown, so don't make trouble and anger Princess Qinghe."

The old lady of Changle Hou pretended to be concerned about Yan E, but actually she didn't want He Zijin to come back.

Husband and wife are one, and when He Zijin returns, she will definitely side with her husband. If she asks for help from the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion and finds the imperial physician in the palace, or the rare genius doctor among the people, to save Yan E, wouldn't she miss such a great opportunity in vain?

The old lady of Changle Marquis thought that if Yan E could not wake up from this sleep, her ambitious Erlang would be able to obtain the title.

"Carry Dalang back to the main courtyard. Sanlang, take my token and go get the imperial physician from the Imperial Medical Bureau."

No matter how much she hoped that something would happen to Yan E, the old lady of Changle Hou still had to put on a show of pretending. She called Yan Sanlang, who almost always stayed at home, to call the imperial physician.

Yan Sanlang had never even been to a palace banquet and was not familiar with the palace. He probably didn't even know where the Imperial Medical Bureau was, which would definitely delay him for a lot of time.

"My Lord, what's wrong with you?"

In the main courtyard, Lu Ruyun, who was doing nothing, saw Yan E being carried in, and she cried and threw herself on Yan E. She looked extremely sad. She was more worried and sad for Yan E than the Yan family members in the front yard.

Yan E, who had a little consciousness and noticed the movement outside, fainted immediately after Lu Ruyun pounced on him, and blood came out of the corner of his mouth. Lu Ruyun cried even more sadly.

He Zijin, who was staying in Princess Qinghe's villa in the suburbs, knew nothing about what was happening in the Marquis of Changle's Mansion. Not long after Chu Hongyun locked her up in this small courtyard, Chu Hongyun brought some things over.

He Zijin sat at the table in the courtyard, watching the palace maids behind Chu Hongyun deliver things into the main room of the courtyard. The palace maids lined up in a long and orderly manner.

The last person to enter the courtyard was Guiyue, who had been taken away by Madam Zhao at the beginning and was not allowed to enter. She stood behind He Zijin, and because of the overwhelming aura of Chu Hongyun who was sitting opposite her, she did not dare to ask any questions. She could only carefully observe whether her master was injured.

"Miss He, have you changed your mind? Are you willing to follow me into the palace?"

Chu Hongyun stroked the ring on his thumb and asked the question seriously, which was inconsistent with his expression.

"I am already someone's wife, why is your majesty so obsessed with this?"

He Zijin felt that Chu Hongyun's behavior was different from that of the legendary emperor who did not allow others to interfere. Not long after, he came to ask her if she had changed her mind. His departure just now seemed like he had digested his anger alone.

"There is nothing or anyone in this world that I cannot obtain."

Chu Hongyun stood up and said, "You will stay in this courtyard until you respond."

"My patience is limited. If Miss He is reluctant, I am willing to be a playboy who picks flowers for once."

"Miss He, you should think carefully in the courtyard during this period. This is Pan Xing, who came from my secret guards. She will stay by your side and you can use her at your command."

Pan Xing came directly behind He Zijin and stood side by side with Gui Yue, "Miss, I am Pan Xing. From now on, you will only be my master." She was not a spy placed by Chu Hongyun by her side.

He Zijin wanted to maintain the persona he had created for himself, so he resisted the emperor and the people related to him, and therefore remained silent.

After Chu Hongyun finished speaking, he flicked his sleeves and left, taking away the other maids who had brought in the things.

After seeing Chu Hongyun leave, Gui Yue took He Zijin's hand and said, "Miss, did His Majesty do anything to you? Are you hurt?"

He Zijin pulled his hand out of Guiyue's and comforted her, "I'm fine, but we have to live here for a while."

"Miss, I'm glad you're alright."

Gui Yue breathed a sigh of relief and said calmly, "Since we have no way to leave, I will go and tidy up the room so that the young lady can live more comfortably."

Guiyue was not convinced by Panxing who was forced in. When she passed by Panxing, she saw that she didn't move. She got angry because she was standing by the young lady and bumped Panxing with her shoulder.

"What are you standing there for? Come with me and help me clean up the things in the room. There are only two of us maids in the courtyard now. Don't try to be lazy just because you are from His Majesty's side."

Although this person was sent by His Majesty, he is not familiar to the master and servant, so it is better to keep him under close watch.

"Sister Guiyue, I'll be right there."

Pan Xing took a look at He Zijin and found that he was in a normal mood. She couldn't leave the yard for a while, so she followed Gui Yue to clean up.

Guiyue was startled by Panxing's call of "sister", "Sister? You call me sister? How old are you this year?"

"Fifteen." Pan Xing answered carefully, speaking sparingly.

"Forget it, forget it. Go and serve the young lady. You are not needed here."

Oh my god, he looks so rough and he is only fifteen? Guiyue looked at him and thought Panxing was twenty-five.

It is really hard to be a maid in the palace. It is so destructive. A good girl can be tortured into looking like a dozen years older. It is so horrible.

At this time, He Zijin came over and stopped Guiyue from going into the main room to clean up, and asked her to rest in the side room.

The main room looked like someone had been cleaning it, so Guiyue didn't need to clean it up. However, Guiyue had been busy since morning till now and was the one who needed a rest.

And judging by the style inside, this might be the room where Chu Hongyun occasionally lives. Tsk, so stuffy.
