The baby-making system is unreliable

The rain outside the window was falling steadily, and there seemed to be no sign of stopping. It had been raining for five or six days in total.

At the same time, a shocking news came from the capital that the empress returned safely.

"Humph! As expected, in the past two days, since they couldn't find any trace of me, they actually dared to let that woman named Mo Liu act as my substitute! How audacious!"

Yun Xirou's tone was full of anger and disdain. Her brows were furrowed and her eyes were flashing with anger. She was obviously extremely dissatisfied with this matter.

After saying that, he threw the letter in his hand. This was the news that Hanzhi had just sent in, and there was also news from the Supervisory Office.

It is said that the missing empress suddenly returned to the palace early yesterday morning. The important thing is that it was Ren Zuocheng who sent people to find her and escorted the empress back all the way.

It is said that at that time, the "Empress" was seriously injured and returned to the imperial city in a carriage. A gorgeous carriage slowly drove into the gate of the palace.

The ministers were delighted and knelt down to welcome the return of the empress. However, they never saw the empress during the whole process. They only heard her majestic voice: "I am fine, my dear ministers, don't worry."

Then, Ren Zuocheng stopped the others and spoke non-stop with a happy expression on his face, "The empress was injured. That Mo Liu was actually an assassin who injured the empress. Fortunately, the empress fell into the water and floated downstream to a shore, where she was rescued by a fisherman."

Later, after a few days of rest, the empress felt better. Ren Zuocheng discovered the empress by chance and took her back to the palace.

"That's good. As long as the empress is safe, it will be a blessing for us forever." Wu Zhesi stroked his beard and said that he gladly accepted it. He also wrote a memorial requesting to be promoted from Shangshu Zuocheng to the third-rank Zhongshu Ling.

The empress actually agreed directly. Everyone was jealous, but the Liang brothers and sisters noticed something was wrong.

Firstly, they couldn't find the person, which would have been fine. Secondly, even the Li family's many navy soldiers couldn't find the person, but Ren Zuocheng actually found him? !

The important thing is that the empress did not summon them, which is indeed inconsistent with her previous instructions. This shows that this empress is not that empress.

Today, Liang Songqing also said, "Even so, the fisherman has done a great deed. Since he saved Your Majesty, he should be rewarded and given an official position."

The empress was hesitant to respond, and only said that the man was already satisfied with the money, which showed that the authenticity of the fisherman needed to be verified.

Then they silenced the court's voices by saying that the empress had already returned and that everything else could be discussed after she recovered from her injuries.

"Don't be angry, eat a grape to calm yourself down. I've peeled them all." Wen Shengxian's expression did not change much as he listened. He was only busy peeling grapes for Yun Xirou. The round grapes were placed in the bowl, emitting an attractive luster, which attracted her attention.

Yun Xirou pursed her lips slightly, revealing an expression that seemed like a smile, as if she was a little dissatisfied, but also a bit playful and cute.

Her eyes fell on the bowl of crystal clear grapes, then she reached out her hand, picked up a grape and put it into her mouth without hesitation.

"Not bad, Yanzhi peeled the grapes very well, very virtuous, I like it." The sweet taste of the grapes spread instantly, causing her slightly frowned brows to gradually relax.

Yanzhi is Wen Shengxian's pen name. Last night he insisted that she change the name. He touched her for nearly half an hour and told her that if they were alone in private, she should call him by his pen name to make her look more special.

Wen Shengxian couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly when he heard her reaction, and a hint of pampering flashed in his eyes.

He continued to concentrate on the movements in his hands, peeling more grapes and putting them into the bowl, waiting for Yun Xirou's next taste.

"Don't be in a hurry. You have to fish slowly. Now is just the beginning. They are all old foxes who have lived for many years. At this moment, they let Ren Zuocheng take the lead and they get away with it. Even if they close the net now, they won't be able to catch much fish."

He was analyzing the situation calmly, his hands moving non-stop, and it seemed that his skinning speed was not affected at all by his blindness.

"I know, but I always don't want to call myself "I" in front of you." Yun Xirou said and immediately changed the address, thinking for a moment.

"If we act now, the most we can do is punish the left chancellor. The rest will be charged with negligence at best. Besides, they haven't seen my body yet. Maybe they are trying to lure me out so that they can pin the crime of Mo Liu on me."

It's hard to say whether this is their plan or not. Yun Xirou and the others will not take any action at all. But once they do, they will completely overthrow them, otherwise there will be endless troubles.

"Yuan Ning has grown up and can keep his composure. Let me tell you another piece of news. The eldest son of the Wu family and the one from the Zhou family secretly met in a brothel."

Wen Shengxian praised her with great satisfaction and told her the news Han Yi had sent her when she was still unconscious.

"Zhou Keqi and Wu Siyi? They are actually hanging out together!?" Yun Xirou was enjoying the delicious grapes while secretly observing Wen Shengxian.

It was not a good time to get angry at this moment. He calmed down for a while before saying, "One of these two families is rich and the other is powerful. Are they going to rebel when they get together?!"

As she spoke, Yun Xirou's face darkened, thinking that the Zhou family was indeed restless. The Zhou family was different from other noble families, in that they sought the position of imperial merchants, and the size of the official position did not matter to them.

"It shouldn't be the case. The most they have to conspire in secret is money. They can't recruit soldiers on a large scale."

Wen Shengxian thought that the Wu family was probably short of money. After all, it was very expensive to maintain relationships with so many officials, and his salary might not be enough.

If they are greedy enough, no matter how many officials they win over, they will never feel it is enough, and there will be times when they are short of money. Then they will definitely not be clean, and naturally they will have something to hold against them, and then they will have a chance.

"That Mo Liu is searching everywhere in the palace, I think she is trying to find the token of the Supervisory Office. I'm not afraid that she can find anything. Anyway, someone is watching her, so she won't be able to find what she wants."

Yun Xirou was not worried about what she would find. After all, she had instructed Liu Zhi to collect evidence early in the morning, and Mo Liu was nothing to be afraid of.

She was worried about something else. Yun Yurou frowned, thinking of the news from Li Li's mind, and said, "What about the Wu family? They sent people out of the capital. My informant sent a message saying that they went to look for my mother."

Li Li was indeed not with her, but hiding in the Wu family government office to "gather" information, but the master and servant could still communicate in their minds, and he could tell her directly if there was any movement.

Wen Shengxian's movements froze. How could he not know when Yuan'an had received a secret message? ! She was clearly with him all the time. They had never been apart.

"Ahem... I want to ask Yanzhi for a favor. I want to make a lantern that floats on the water and put it on the bank of the Bixi River. Someone will understand what I mean."

Yun Xirou thought that she must send someone to investigate what was going on behind the Wu family. The Supervisory Office had been hiding in the dark, so it was time for them to show up.

"Okay." Wen Shengxian agreed happily without asking any further questions. She must have her own source of information, so he shouldn't ask any more questions about this.

Yun Xirou watched him peeling the skin with great concentration without asking any questions. This man was so attentive that she felt warm. The faint smile on his face made her heart tremble slightly.

These past few days, Wen Shengxian was always keen on feeding her, as if it was a unique pleasure, and she even felt that she had gained some weight.

"Come on, open your mouth!" Yun Yurou fed the peeled grapes into his mouth and asked with a low laugh, "Is it delicious?"

"Yeah." Wen Shengxian subconsciously turned his head towards her, pursed his lips, and his low voice became a little warmer: "These grapes are not sour, they are sweet."

Yun Yirou lifted his chin with her right hand, boldly moved closer to him, raised her eyebrows, and smiled a bit frivolously: "Then... is this sweet?!"

After saying that, Yun Xirou took the initiative to kiss him on the lips, just lightly kissing him, and before he could react, she gently sucked on his lips.

The unpeeled grapes in his hand fell to the ground, and Wen Shengxian panicked for a moment. He couldn't see with his eyes, but the sweetness on his lips was magnified, and he even forgot to breathe for a moment.

Until Yun Xirou let go, Wen Shengxian panted slightly and replied in a slightly excited voice: "Sweet!"

But some things are addictive, and a kiss of this degree can only make him feel itchy.

Wen Shengxian grabbed her waist and pressed her into his arms with a little force. He said in a hoarse and aggrieved voice, "You are bullying me because I can't see and because I have poor eyesight!"

After saying that, he seemed to subconsciously want to touch her jaw, but because he couldn't see her, he wandered around randomly, which made him swallow in his throat.

"Yes, I am bullying you. I am not just bullying you because you can't see. I also want to 'marry' you and take you home to bully you. I wonder if Yanzhi will marry you or not!?"

Yun Yi smiled softly, hooked her arms around his neck, and offered her thin lips to him, but left after a moment. However, he was unwilling to do so, and even took the initiative.

He subconsciously deepened the kiss until both of them had difficulty breathing. Yun Xirou stroked his chest again and again with her hands, patting it weakly, and he let go.

"Of course, if you want to marry me, anything is fine as long as it's you."

The smile on Wen Shengxian's lips deepened, his joy was visibly evident, and his remarks these times seemed to indicate that he was even more eager to get married than she was.

……

"Sir, they...they have been like this, a man and a woman alone, staying in the second-floor house for quite a while, eating and living together. Should we tell the master and his wife about this?"

Han Yi crawled under the eaves, secretly paying attention to the movements inside, and asked Han Zhi who was in the same posture.

"..." Han Zhi rolled his eyes, looked at him helplessly and said, "Needless to say, it's been so long, the letter I wrote is almost in the hands of the master and the mistress, and you just remembered to ask?!"

Don't you think it's too late to ask now? ! Big brother, your reaction is a bit slow! ?

Han Yi was completely stunned, and asked in a daze: "No? How did you move so quickly?! We are the young master's servants. How can we make decisions on our own without the young master's permission?!"

Isn't this against the rules?! What if the young master gets angry?! He doesn't want to be punished!!

"Stupid! Young Master and His Majesty are both planning to get married. How can this be possible without an elder knowing about it?! If Young Master marries the Empress, then the dowry must be prepared!"

How did he meet such a stupid partner? ! He still has to take care of it, otherwise how will the young master prepare his dowry! ?

"Although we are the young master's attendants, the master and his wife will know about this sooner or later. If they are the last to know, won't they be angry!?"

Therefore, as the most intimate attendants, they must have qualified acumen, otherwise how can they serve the Master! ?

"Let's go, get up and prepare to make lanterns, otherwise the young master will be angry."

After saying that, Han Zhi glanced at Han Yi who was standing beside him, pulled him over, and the two of them went to prepare the materials.

……

Another day passed, and the rain finally stopped at night. Outside the imperial city, the water was pitch black, and nothing could be seen on the Bixi River. Only a lonely lantern was floating on the water.

On a solitary boat, there was a half-grown boy holding a reed in his mouth and carrying an iron sickle on his back. He saw the lantern and picked it up.

After a while, he turned around and looked at the group of people behind him. There were at least ten people on the boat behind him.

"The Empress has issued an order. It's time to go to Yinzhou and take care of that matter as well."

The young man was Yu Lehuai, the youngest leader of the Supervisory Department of this generation. At the age of sixteen, he was already one of the best masters in the entire Supervisory Department.

Everyone thinks that the Inspectorate is an army or a dead pool, hiding in the dark and ready to take people's lives at any time. In fact, they are a group of gangsters.

They were a spontaneous organization formed by the people when Yongchang was first built. They usually raised fish and caught fish, and could only gather in a special way.

The people behind Yu Lehuai received the order and dispersed. They hid among the people and hid in the long night. They would eventually complete their mission and return to the life of raising fish and fishing.

It was already late at night at the Wu Family Mansion. Occasionally, a patrolman would pass by with a lantern. The lights in the courtyard were still on, and from time to time, the sound of night watchmen could be heard outside.

A kitten was climbing on the eaves. That must be Li Li who was ordered to monitor the Wu family.

I saw its bright eyes watching the surroundings vigilantly, not missing any slight movement.

The breeze blew by, ruffling the fine hair around its ears, making it look even more clever and cute.

"Si Yan, has the little fox of the Zhou family taken the bait?!" Wu Zhesi asked in an old voice as he looked at the letters exchanged with several ministers.

Wu Siyu shook his head and stood in front of his father, cursing and shouting, "They refused to participate, saying that their Zhou family doesn't need high-ranking officials. Why are they pretending to be noble? Humph!"

"If it's really that clean, how can they be so rich?! Fortunately, they knew what was best for them and didn't give us any less money."

If they dare to play tricks, their business will be shut down! !

"The empress's body hasn't been found yet!? Where can it go?! I will always feel uneasy until I find her body." Wu Zhesi frowned. He always felt that he would not be able to rest easy unless he saw her body with his own eyes.

Wu Siyan frowned slightly and said, "Father, you are worrying too much. It may have been fed to the fish long ago. How can we find it now?"

As he spoke, he shook his head slightly, as if he didn't care about his father's worries.
