The emperor's heart alone

Almost anyone with a brain in the capital could see Shi Junji's indifference to the Queen's death, even before the Queen's body was buried, Shi Junji had already set about having the Chu family tried.Some people speculated that the emperor just waited for the death of the empress before disturbing the Chu family?

Xu Yunjin didn't pay too much attention to it, and only asked people to ask whether Chu Fang's father, Chu Renqing, who was still in Beijing, was involved. Knowing that Chu Renqing was fine, Xu Yunjin put the matter aside.

However, there are also some people who are uneasy. You must know that the day when the queen died is at the end of January, and February is the day when the general examination will be held. Will the general examination be canceled because of the queen's death, and the test will be retaken in the next day?But soon, the news of the normal progress of the imperial examination was released, which made all the examiners happy, and there was no sorrow at all because of the queen's death. It can be seen that when it comes to their own interests, how can they control the life and death of others?

Xu Yunjin doesn't care about the Chu family's affairs, and Xiang Yi's affairs still have to be resolved. Now that the imperial examination has not yet come, Xiang Yiping doesn't think there is anything wrong with Xiang Yi who never leaves home every day. On the day of the imperial examination, Xiang Yi still couldn't step out of the mansion. Thinking about it, Xiang Yiping would definitely not let it go. Although he hated Xiang Yi, Xu Yunjin didn't have the intention of breaking up with the Xiang family. After all, the relationship between Xiang Yiping and Xu Tao is excellent.

When Xu Yunjin sneaked into Xiang's mansion to see Xiang Yi, Xiang Yi was still lying on the bed asleep, Xu Yunjin looked and looked strangely, he couldn't believe that the person in front of him was so heartless, even if it wasn't because he was trapped Anxious and angry in the mansion, at the very least, he should study hard for the upcoming examination. Like his current behavior, could it be that he is sure that Jinshi is in his pocket?

Perhaps it was Xu Yunjin's eyes that made Xiang Yi sleep unsteadily in his sleep. It didn't take long for Xiang Yi to wake up. Seeing Xu Yunjin suddenly appearing in his room, Xiang Yi was startled, and then jumped up immediately : "Xu Yunjin! I finally saw you!"

Xu Yunjin smiled but didn't answer Xiang Yi's words, just found a chair and sat down, and asked straightforwardly: "Do you want to participate in the test?"

"Of course I want to participate!" Xiang Yi raised his chin, "No matter how powerful you are, Xu Yunjin, you can't stop a person from attending the test. If someone finds out, think about your fate!"

"You don't need to worry about my fate, but I know that if you don't do what I say, let alone take the imperial examination, I will detain you in this mansion for the rest of your life. I think I'll get rid of you, believe it or not, no one will trouble me?"

Xu Yunjin's tone was indifferent, but Xiang Yi felt chills all over his body for some reason, swallowed his saliva, and stammered back: "No, I don't believe it, you, you are just a person without official position, I, I If you don’t believe me, you, you have the book, the ability.”

Xu Yunjin sneered, and looked down on Xiang Yi more and more: "I will send someone to follow you, even if you go to have a test, he will follow. If you do something, that person will teach you. When will you learn? Be good, don't try to get my sister's ideas, I will set you free anytime." Then he said, "Don't worry, there is nothing in this world that I, Xu Yunjin, can't do, whether you believe it or not, just wait to break through It's never too late to see the misfortune."

Xiang Yi's lips trembled. He was not a person who was not afraid of power. He didn't know what Xu Yunjin was capable of. However, this kind of person is like this. Threats are better than lures. Seeing Xiang Yi's face, Xu Yunjin knew Thinking in Xiang Yi's mind, he smiled with satisfaction and left Xiang's mansion directly.

As Xu Yunjin said, he took away all the people surrounding Xiang Yi, and replaced him with Tan Xiang guarding Xiang Yi's side day and night, not to mention going out to spread rumors, just talking to someone on weekdays, Xiang's eyes were also fixed on Xiang Yi all the time, which made Xiang Yi unable to say anything at all.

Xiang Yi's side is honest, Xu Yunjin gradually doesn't care about it, now that this year has passed, and the days are coming to February, let's not mention Hu Buke's side for now, let's say that Li Dashao and Liu Sanshao are in charge North-South business affairs.The weather has slowly started to warm up. It is just the right time to leave Beijing and go to the south. You must know that the further south you go, the warmer it will be.Because Young Master Li had been to the south last year, he is very familiar with it, and Young Master Li is responsible for the business in the south, so Young Young Master Li was the first to leave the capital. In order to save time, Young Young Master Li was not allowed to Carrying the goods to the south, but prepared to wait a month or two before letting Liu Sanshao take the goods to the south.

There was still a farewell banquet, but Xu Yunjin was in a bad mood recently and was too lazy to move, so he simply let go of it, so the fifth young master only made up four, and when he left, young master Li still muttered "" I worked my life for him, but he wouldn't even eat a meal with me." Something like that.

Although Liu Sanshao told Xu Yunjin exactly what Li Dashao said, Xu Yunjin still didn't take it seriously, and did what he should do.

Although Xu Yunjin and Shi Junji are still in a cold war, the news about the warships on the eastern coast still reaches Xu Yunjin's hands every day. Knowing that the arrangements for the warships are about to be completed, Xu Yunjin is also starting to arrange things Now, the first to bear the brunt is the problem of Hu Buke and Luoxue.

"Second Young Master, you haven't been to Huancai Pavilion for a long time, and Miss Luoxue complains to me every day."

Xu Yunjin glanced at the bustard, said "En", turned around and walked upstairs, he was in the future for a long time, but he knew that Luoxue would not complain to the bustard about it every day.

Xu Yunjin came here suddenly, he had never greeted Luoxue or Huancai Pavilion before, he opened the door and entered, and saw Luoxue's happy expression when he found out that it was him, Xu Yunjin lowered his eyes, and stepped into the room with a few steps.

Luoxue came up to meet her, and said with a smile: "Second Young Master, you haven't been here for a long time. If you don't come again, I really thought that Second Young Master, you don't like Luo Xue."

"How can it be?" Xu Yunjin said indifferently, "Over the years, have you seen that I recruited her again in Huancai Pavilion?"

The smile on Luoxue's face remained the same, but her heart was slightly bitter. Xu Yunjin had never recruited anyone else because he never did that kind of thing. Naturally, no one is meaningless: "What the second young master said is , Do you want to live in Huancai Pavilion today? I'll ask someone to arrange it."

Xu Yunjin stopped Luoxue who was about to go out, and raised his head towards the seat opposite him: "Sit down, I have something to say."

Luo Xue was taken aback, and obediently sat opposite Xu Yunjin.

Xu Yunjin raised his head to look at Luoxue. It was the woman in front of him who spent all her best years on herself without any complaints. It is impossible for her status to marry her openly and aboveboard, but she still has no complaints or regrets.She is smart, she hides her edge, all these years just to stand behind her, and what she wants, I can't give her at all.

Xu Yunjin sighed, maybe the only thing he can do is to find someone to rely on for the rest of her life, Hu Buke can give up the imperial examination to become an official for her, at least he is sincere to Luoxue now, he let Hu Buke go Managing overseas, is it not selfishly giving Hu Buke a place to stay in the future, and also saves him from resenting Luoxue when he really comes to despair.

"Huancai Pavilion is not a place to stay for a long time. You have been with me for so many years. No matter what, I can't just watch you stay here." Xu Yunjin said slowly, "I will have someone redeem you."

Luoxue blinked, and then became happy, could it be, could it be that the second young master meant... But Xu Yunjin's next words shattered Luoxue's fantasy.

"You are a woman. After leaving Huancai Pavilion, you will naturally have to be attached to a man. My headache before was how to arrange for you to come out of Huancai Pavilion. Fortunately, a man found Xu's mansion a few days ago and said bluntly that it was you. Married, because you didn't even go to the exam in February, and became a businessman instead. I think that someone who can do this for you will be sincere to you. Pavilion, when he is ready, we will pay homage to him and marry him, and from then on, it will be a good story to be a husband and a child."

Luoxue's face turned pale suddenly, her lips trembled for a while, before she found her own voice: "Luoxue, did Luoxue do something wrong? Why did Second Young Master make such a decision?"

Xu Yunjin turned his head: "No, you didn't do anything wrong. On the contrary, you did a good job. Isn't it good to just escape from Huancai Pavilion and marry a good man? You know, how many women in this world are there? Don’t you hope to meet a beloved man in the future? What’s more, this Hu Buke has also passed my test, and he will not treat you badly. He even promised not to accept any concubines except you, even if you have nothing in your life He doesn't care about it, you should be happy to have such a husband."

"Beloved?" Luoxue murmured in a low voice. The man in her heart is Xu Yunjin. She didn't believe him and didn't know, but he was so cruel. He would rather redeem himself and find a good home for her than let her go Staying here and waiting for him, actually Luoxue doesn't care, let her wait in Huancai Pavilion for a lifetime, let her see Xu Yunjin for a long time, as long as she can stay by his side, what else? What is it?

Xu Yunjin was a little sad, and hesitated for a while: "If you really don't want to... then that's fine, I'll just go back to Hu Buke."

Luo Xue suddenly asked: "Am I important to you, Second Young Master? So important... Second Young Master, you are willing to redeem yourself for me, and find a lover for me."

Xu Yunjin was stunned: "...you have been with me for so many years, and I am not a person without feelings. Although I can't welcome you in, I still want to do something for you... The most important thing for a woman is not to be able to find her. Is a lover a good destination? I thought you thought about it too."

Luoxue smiled: "Second Young Master is right, I am also a woman, so naturally I don't want to stay in this Huancai Pavilion for the rest of my life, if I can find someone who is willing to sacrifice a lot for me, why should I refuse?"

Xu Yunjin hesitated, "You mean..."

Luoxue nodded: "That's right, I am willing to marry the Hu Buke that Second Young Master you mentioned." If this is what you want, I will do it.And you also said that Hu Buke is working for you, so does that mean that I will have a chance to see you in the future?Chance to hear your story?Since I am doomed not to be your person, I am satisfied even if I can only get news from you.

Xu Yunjin naturally didn't know Luoxue's thoughts, he was relieved to hear Luoxue's agreement, and immediately called the old bustard to redeem Luoxue from Huancai Pavilion.
