The emperor's heart alone

On the eighth day of the lunar new year, the entire court resumed its operation. Because they hadn't attended the court for ten consecutive days, Xu Tao and Xu Yunting quickly threw themselves into busy work. Even Xu Jia's family went to offer incense with other wives. .Only Xu Yunjin, Shao Peilan, and Xu Yunqin were left in Xu's residence.

Xu Yunjin woke up from a nap, stretched his waist, and was served with cakes, when he heard the sound of "dong dong dong" in the room, Xu Yunjin frowned: "What's going on?"

Qinghuan was bewildered and looked at Xu Yunjin helplessly, Xu Yunjin shook his head helplessly, stood up and put on his coat: "Call Qingpei in."

When Qingpei came in, the sound continued, and without waiting for Xu Yunjin's order, Qingpei quickly found the source of the sound. Xu Yunjin and Qingpei looked at the wall where the wardrobe was placed, and asked Qingpei: "Are you sure?" here?"

Qingpei nodded, and stretched out his arms to block Xu Yunjin: "The sound is getting closer and closer, it should be coming to an end soon, the sandalwood is outside, master, you should leave here first."

Xu Yunjin didn't speak, and there was already a faint guess in his heart. After a while, seeing the dirt on the wall next to the wardrobe falling down, Xu Yunjin already understood, and pushed Qingpei away in a funny way: "Don't worry about them, Let them do what they have to do. I'll walk around the yard, and you watch here."

Qingpei agreed, and Xu Yunjin went for a walk with Qinghuan Sandalwood. Before he had gone a few steps, he saw the servant in the front hall walking over quickly, with an anxious and embarrassed face on his face. Seeing Xu Yunjin's eyes lit up: "Second Young Master, Mr. Xiang Yi is here, and now he's waiting in the front hall, saying, saying that he wants to see you..."

"Who are you seeing?" Xu Yunjin frowned.

"See Miss San."

Xu Yunjin was taken aback for a moment, and then scolded: "Nonsense!" He flicked his sleeves and walked towards the front hall, his face was gloomy and terrifying, what is this Xiang Yi going to do?Is it appropriate for a foreigner to suddenly rush to their house to meet a young lady who has not left the court?

When Xu Yunjin arrived at the front hall, he saw Xiang Yi who was stopped by the servants at a glance. After adjusting his facial expression, Xu Yunjin went up to meet him: "Mr. Xiang is coming, why didn't you notify me in advance? People say that I, Xu Mansion, neglected Mr. Juren."

There was no respect on his face, and there was sarcasm in his words. What kind of a guy is he, Xiang Yi, who dares to mess around in Xu's mansion?Even if Xiang Yiping came, thinking about it, he would not be so disrespectful to Xu's family. Xu Yunjin is not a tempered person, so it would be nice to be able to talk to Xiang Yi calmly.

But Xiang Yi didn't hear Xu Yunjin's impoliteness at all, and really took Xu Yunjin's words as respectful, and put on a show and cupped his hands at Xu Yunjin: "Second Young Master, you don't have to be so polite, we will be a family in the future, and you will see others if you say this." gone."

Xu Yunjin's expression turned cold: "Family? Where did Mr. Xiang start?" After saying that, he retreated all the people in the front hall. Xiang Yi could speak nonsense in Xu's mansion regardless of his reputation, but he still had to Considering Xu Yunqin's boudoir reputation.

Xiang Yi didn't care about the movement around him, he just smiled and said: "I think the second young master doesn't know about it yet, the third young lady and I have long been in love with each other, and we will come to your mansion to propose marriage only after I become an official through the imperial examination. , isn't this a family?"

"Young Master Xiang, you are joking. My third younger sister is waiting for election and is going to participate in next year's draft. How could she accept someone else's marriage proposal?" He added, "What's more, my younger sister has always lived in a boudoir, and she has always been with you. We haven't met each other, how can we say that we are in love with each other? And please, Mr. Xiang, don't talk about it, it will damage the reputation of my third sister."

Xiang Yi froze: "When I am promoted to an official position, it is not difficult to ask for a marriage from the emperor. The second young master don't have to worry, my feelings for your third sister are all true, and I am not lying If you don't believe me, Second Young Master, you can ask Yunqin, I'm right."

"You can call Yunqin?" Xu Yunjin no longer concealed his disgust and anger, "Xiang Yi, everyone in the Xu family knows about the scandal you have done. You should give up the idea of ​​marrying my third sister as soon as possible, and even Don't mention how my third sister is with you." He warned again, "If you are a smart person, you should know what will happen if you provoke me, Xu Ershao, and I hope you will take care of yourself."

Xiang Yi was in a hurry. He couldn't wait to come to Xu's mansion today and threatened to see Xu Yunqin. In fact, it was because of the matter of hiding the maid outside the mansion. He only accidentally learned from Xiang Yiping a few days ago who was there And Xu Tao, his heart felt cold at the moment, he knew that such a thing had happened, so he couldn't even think about being with Xu Yunqin.And he was not reconciled. You must know that the Xu family has been noble for a hundred years. Now the head of the family is a scholar of Zhengyipin Palace, and Xu Yunting is even a celebrity in front of the emperor. Even if he looks down on Xu Ershao, he knows that if he can marry How helpful Xu Yunqin is to his future, so he must marry Xu Yunqin.

It was also he who relaxed his vigilance, thinking that he and Xu Yunqin had already hit it off, thinking that this matter would most likely be possible, so he carelessly raised a woman outside, not to mention that he would find out so soon , not only that, even Xu Tao knew about it.In desperation, he had only one solution - simply destroy Xu Yunqin's reputation, so who else could Xu Yunqin marry if he didn't marry him?

"Xu Ershao, this is a matter between me and Yunqin, please don't stop me." Xiang Yi raised his head, "Yunqin and I really love each other, and I want to come to Yunqin and hope to be with me. If you want to hinder me and Yunqin, I don't mind publicizing this matter."

Xu Yunjin was furious immediately, since he was young, how many people dared to threaten him in front of him?Eyes narrowed: "Are you threatening me? Threatening the Xu family?"

Now that things have happened, there is no chance for Xiang Yi to retreat: "I'm just telling the truth, what to do depends on the answer from the Xu family."

"Sandalwood!" Xu Yunjin yelled, Sandalwood came in, Xu Yunjin said again, "Personally send Xiang Yi back to the mansion, let people surround Xiang's mansion, and no suspicious person is allowed to enter or leave."

Sandalwood took the order, stepped forward and pressed Xiang Yi to leave, Xiang Yi's eyes widened, it was inconceivable: "Xu Yunjin! Do you know what you are doing? My Xiangfu is also the home of the court officials, although it is not as good as your Xu Yunjin." The government is not for you to bully, if this matter is found out by others, be careful that your entire Xu family will be punished!"

Xu Yunjin has always been an insolent person. He knew how to restrain himself because of his identity before, but now he knows Shi Junji's identity. Although he will not bully others, he will not tolerate anything anymore, not to mention that this determination can take Xu Yunjin out of control. Qin and Xu Fu threatened him, how could Xu Yunjin bear it?He sneered and said, "If you want to threaten me, Xu Ershao, you don't even look at your own virtue! Don't say that you are under house arrest in the Xiang Mansion, even if I break your leg in the Xu Mansion now, no one will be killed because of this." Come and trouble me!" Then he said to Tan Xiang, "Do as I tell you, and I want to see who dares to touch my name, Second Young Master Xu!"

In the training that Sandalwood received, loyalty is undoubtedly the most important thing. In addition to the influence of Qingpei these days, regardless of whether Xu Yunjin's orders are reasonable or not, he only follows Xu Yunjin's orders. Xiang Yi is a frail scholar. Without the strength of sandalwood, he was easily taken away by sandalwood. In order to prevent him from making a fuss, sandalwood simply sealed Xiang Yi's acupuncture points and made him speechless.

Even so, Xu Yunjin's anger could not be dissipated. Qingpei had already received the news and rushed over. Seeing that Xu Yunjin's face turned pale with anger, he was very upset. Xu Yunjin had a bad temper since he was a child. Being sick is just because everyone around him followed him, and he consciously controlled it, so he never had an attack. Now he is angry about Xiang Yi's affairs, and I'm afraid he can't be kind.

Regardless of what Xu Yunjin wanted to order, Qingpei picked up Xu Yunjin and went to find Duan Yuchen.Duan Yuchen also frowned when he saw Xu Yunjin's face, and stopped saying sarcasm. He only comforted Xu Yunjin and gave Xu Yunjin some soothing medicine.

Qingpei sent Xu Yunjin to Duan Yuchen's place, and then she was relieved. After thinking for a while, she quietly went back to Xu's mansion again, and went to fetch some things for Xu Yunjin. Before Duan Yuchen didn't promise, Xu Yunjin might have to stay for a while. It's at Duan Yuchen's place.

Looking back, the sound of digging in Xu Yunjin's room in the afternoon was actually caused by Shi Junji.At the beginning, Shi Junji had the idea of ​​bringing the secret way into Xu Yunjin's house, and he couldn't wait to issue this order as soon as he returned to the palace.Because this secret passage existed in itself, it would not take long to open another passage to Xu Yunjin's house in the boundary of Xu's mansion, and Xu Yunjin heard voices in the room, which meant that the passage was about to pass.

When the passage was about to be opened, someone from Shi Junji's side informed him of the news, Shi Junji immediately dropped his official business, thought for a while, and asked Xu Sa to rush to Xu's mansion from the secret road with the memorial.

After walking out of the secret passage to Xu Yunjin's room, but no one found it, Shi Jun couldn't help feeling a little puzzled, thinking that Xu Yunjin might have gone out and hadn't come back, so he asked Xu Sa to put the memorial on the table, and he started Review the memorial and wait for Xu Yunjin to come back.

Not long after, Qingpei, who was going back and forth to Xu Yunjin to fetch things for Xu Yunjin, entered the room. When he saw Shi Junji and Xu Sa in the room, he was taken aback for a moment, and then returned to his normal expression. He was the one who stayed in the room in the afternoon Yes, of course I know what the secret path is for, and I am not surprised by Shi Junji and others Qingpei who appeared here.

Seeing that only Qing Pei came back, Shi Jun couldn't help asking, "Where's Yun Jin?"

Qingpei hesitated for a long while, wondering if he should tell Shi Junji about Xu Yunjin's situation, but Shi Junji saw something wrong on Qingpei's face, felt a bit uneasy in his heart, and shouted: "Say, in the end what happened?"

Qingpei thought about the relationship between Shi Junji and Xu Yunjin, and also thought about Xu Yunjin's attitude towards Shi Junji, and finally answered truthfully. Looking for trouble for Xiang Yi, barely suppressing the anger in my heart, said in a deep voice, "Take me to see Yun Jin!"

Qingpei had no choice but to take Shi Junji to find Duan Yuchen. When entering the room, Xu Yunjin had already fallen asleep under Duan Yuchen's decoction. Shi Junji touched Xu Yunjin's temples distressedly before looking up at Duan Yuchen. In the morning, Duan Yuchen saw Shi Junji's appearance clearly, and a strange look flashed in his eyes: "It's you."
