After the big guy wears the abusive text

The woman's even and shallow breathing sounded from her ears, Ye Youqing was in a trance for a while, and her hands stopped in mid-air, until Ci Ke's body was sliding down her chest, she didn't realize it, and hurriedly hugged him live.

"Ci Ke? Ci Ke?" She called in a low voice, but no one responded, she seemed to be asleep.

"I can't allow you to drink again in the future." Ye Youqing said sullenly, sighed, threw the person onto his shoulders, let his two arms hang down from his shoulders, and then used his waist to carry the person on his back.

The woman's body was not heavy, but she was soft and hard to carry, so Ye Youqing could only slow down and walk for an unknown amount of time, only to see that the sun was westward from the top of his head, and then he saw the gate of the Duke's Mansion.

The guard at the gate wanted to salute Ye Youqing when he saw Ye Youqing, but unexpectedly saw the Ci Ke on her back, and his movements froze.

"Open the door." Ye Youqing whispered, the two opened the door in a panic, looked at Ye Youqing's back, and looked at each other.

Afterwards, the news that the eldest daughter of the Duke's Mansion returned to the mansion with a slave on her back spread like wildfire.

However, Ye Youqing didn't care about this, and taking advantage of Liang Guogong's disappearance, she sneaked back to her courtyard with Ci Ke on her back. Zhao Qingruan and Qin Xin were probably basking in the garden of the mansion, so there was no one in the courtyard.

Ye Youqing breathed a sigh of relief, went back to her room lightly, put Ci Ke on the bed, and helped her lie down.

The woman's face was reddish, the wine was still awake, Ye Youqing wanted to leave after covering her with a thin quilt, but he was stunned for a moment when he saw that the woman's pink lips were bleeding.

"Why didn't you see me just now?" She rubbed her hands, lowered her head and wiped away the blood with her fingertips. There was a small wound there, as if bitten out by teeth.

The sleeping woman suddenly stuck out her tongue, intending to lick the wound at the corner of her mouth, but Ye Youqing's fingertips were still there, and she was touched by the dexterous tip of her tongue.

As if a volcano broke through the top of the mountain, Ye Youqing suddenly felt something rushing from her heart to the Tianling Gai, she staggered up quickly, stepped back and bumped into the corner of the dowry, gasping for breath in pain.

Rubbing his palm against his cheek, Ye Youqing said to himself: "Perhaps I was nervous just now, and I haven't calmed down yet."

Fortunately, Ci Ke was still awake, she exhaled a few breaths to calm down her heartbeat, then went out silently and closed the door.

And on the bed behind her, the woman suddenly turned over and curled up. While opening her eyes slightly, she put her fingertips on her lips and stroked them gently.

Ye Youqing was still worried about Qin Wang's news, and his mind was extremely confused, so he walked all the way into the study, copying the recipes that he hadn't finished copying before, trying to calm his mind.

By the way, I waited for Liang Guogong to return to the mansion, and wanted to find out from him.

However, from daytime to dark, Liang Guogong did not return home, and the recipes he wrote did not increase, so Ye Youqing had to put down the pen and rubbed his thumb on his temple.

What the hell is wrong with herself, she thought.

The candle that was lit just now lost its wax, gradually withered, and the light became more and more dim, making people drowsy, so she simply put down her pen and closed her eyes to rest.

As soon as he closed his eyes, the whole person fell into darkness.

In the early morning of the next day, Ye Youqing was woken up by the sound of the door opening vigorously. At this time, she was lying on the table, her arms were sore and numb, and she had already lost her intuition.

"Hiss..." Ye Youqing muttered, struggling to get up, hearing the creaking of the bones on his body for a long time, and then returned to normal.

The candle on the candlestick in front of me has not been burned out, and the tears of the candle are like a frozen waterfall, falling down in white, and the branches and vines are glued to the smooth mahogany.

Didn't it burn out last night? Ye Youqing thought to himself, then frowned and massaged that arm that looked like a rubber tube.

"Miss, I couldn't find you anywhere this morning, Qin Xin was scared to death!" The rushing girl ran over a few steps, put the tea in her hand on the table, her small face wrinkled into a ball.

Ye Youqing smiled at her reassuringly, and suddenly remembered something, and asked, "Did the Duke return home last night?"

Qin Xin rolled her eyes, then shook her head: "Qin Xin couldn't find the eldest girl this morning, so she went to ask the guard. The guard said that the girl came back yesterday, but the Duke didn't. It must be because the court has some important affairs."

Ye Youqing put his thoughts further away, then nodded.

Qin Wang involved too much in this matter, as long as Qin Wang is not dead, she cannot be completely at ease.

The arm recovered a little, Ye Youqing got up slowly, but suddenly found that the paper he was pressing had suddenly become much thicker, so he looked down and was stunned.

I saw that she just copied the recipe at the beginning, and now it has been completely written, neatly placed on the table, and marked by category.

The words on it are in lower case, very delicate and regular.

"Ci Ke?" Ye Youqing murmured, then bypassed Qin Xin, strode out the door, ran all the way into the inner room, and pushed open the door.

The door was empty, the bed was neatly laid out, as if no one had ever slept on it, and a fresh bouquet of flowers was placed on the table, exuding a faint fragrance, covering up the residual smell of powder.

Ye Youqing suddenly felt his heart sink.

She was silent for a while, then walked to the table, picked up a letter on the table, spread out the letter paper, and three words came into view: "Zhan Xin'an."

The letter is not long, only a few words, most of which are thanks, and it feels very alienated to read.

That's right, the matter is over, no one will kill her anymore, it is inevitable for her to leave, not to mention that after she is rehabilitated, she is also the noble daughter of the capital, and she has a noble concubine by her side, so why should she stay by her side.

I should have thought of it earlier, but I just didn't think about it.

Ye Youqing seemed to put down the letter paper easily, and Qin Xin, who followed behind her, saw that her expression was not good, so she also took the letter, and after reading it, her mouth puffed up with anger.

"Miss, I just said that Hu Meizi is not a good person. From this point of view, she is just pretending to be cute and taking advantage of the girl..."

"Qin Xin." Ye Youqing interrupted her in a low voice, with a harsh tone.

Qin Xin stopped talking immediately, pursed her pink lips, lowered her eyes, pinched her hands in front of her body, her eyes were red.

Ye Youqing suddenly felt a headache, she pulled the chair weakly and sat down, and said softly, "Sorry."

"It's also right for the eldest girl to reprimand the servant." Qin Xin wiped her eyes, "The servant just thinks that the girl seems very sad."

Ye Youqing was a little surprised, did he feel sad?

Sad that Ci Ke left as soon as he said it, or sad that she was still so seductive yesterday, but today she is cold and alienated?

In fact, thinking about it carefully, what Ci Ke did was just as she said, a transaction, but he felt a little bit of injustice and resentment, why is that.

Ye Youqing seldom had things that he couldn't figure out, she suddenly let out a long sigh, raised her head and put away all her thoughts, pulled Qin Xin over with a smile, and wiped away the moisture from the corners of her eyes.

"Okay. Let's go. Today I will go to Jinling Zhai. You will take care of your mother in the mansion. If you have any news, call someone to find me." She said softly.

After washing and bathing, he changed into a crisp tunic and went out to find Shili to practice kung fu. Fortunately, Shili didn't drink alcohol last night and is still awake today.

The two each took a long sword in the backyard, and saw that Shili was tall and slender, with soft hand bones, but he danced a not-so-light sword like snowflakes, and the sword energy filled the courtyard, knocking down many green leaves, Fly lightly.

Ye Youqing tried to learn from others, but he couldn't see the essence, and he was half a beat behind.

Hearing the sound of breaking wind, Shili's long sword stopped at Ye Youqing's throat, the two of them stopped at the same time, Shili blew away the broken hair on the forehead, and as soon as he let go, the sword fell, Ye Youqing stretched out his hand to grab the hilt .

Shili sighed, grabbed a jug of wine from the wall, took a sip, and looked at Ye Youqing with light-colored eyes.

"What's going on with you today? I forgot all the exercises I taught you, and I missed a lot of moves."

"Sorry." Ye Youqing sighed, leaning the two swords against the tree.

"Don't be sorry, you have something on your mind." Shi Li said, "Where is Ci Ke?"

Ye Youqing suddenly seemed to be choked by something, swallowed two mouthfuls of wine, and said, "She's gone."

"After what happened yesterday?" Shili suddenly laughed, and picked off a leaf with his slender fingertips, letting the wind blow it away.

When Ye Youqing came, she told Shili about the matter. She thought she would be worried about the imperial concubine, but she just smiled lightly and didn't mention it again.

"Yes." Ye Youqing nodded.

"Xiaoqing, do you know that sometimes when I see Ci Ke, I always feel like I saw Zhou Ziqiu back then. But it's only for a moment, and later I know that the two of them are completely different."

"At Cike's age, Zhou Ziqiu is still the most beloved beauty in the capital, but Cike is not. She has been a slave for seven years."

"That's why Ci Ke is much more complicated than Zhou Ziqiu. She is also ruthless enough to herself, and can endure what ordinary people can't bear. Therefore, she has a lot of thoughts, and no one can figure it out."

"But I think she...is quite simple." Ye Youqing whispered, remembering Ci Ke who trusted the original owner wholeheartedly in the past.

Shili glanced at Ye Youqing with a smile, then suddenly leaned against the wall beside her, leaned closer and asked, "Xiaoqing, do you like her?"

like?Ye Youqing nodded subconsciously: "I like it."

Shili's cheerful expression immediately turned to disappointment. She lazily raised her head and shook her pretty head.

"Forget it, wooden head." Shili said listlessly, "Since you miss her, it doesn't take much trouble to enter the palace. At worst, ask her face to face, so as not to be distracted from practicing."

Ye Youqing nodded, thinking of something: "Ci Ke didn't take some items away, I'll just find a day to send them to her."

Shili opened his mouth, swallowed the words at last, and waved his hand to signal her to continue holding the sword.

Seeing Ye Youqing's figure lighten a little, Shili's eyes were a little complicated, and he said to himself: "I want to find an excuse to meet."

Because of what happened yesterday, the imperial palace and the officialdom, which had been relatively peaceful for a long time, were undercurrents. Many ministers gathered in groups of two or three, discussing secretly all night, watching innocently from the sidelines.

Those old ministers who went to the battlefield with King Rong and Hushi General wrote the memorial overnight and put their blood marks on it, as if they wanted to threaten each other with their lives.

It is said that the imperial study room was lit all night, and a thorough investigation was ordered the next day. At this time, the ministers who had contributed to the flames turned against each other, claiming that they were deceived by Qin Wang's forged letters, and begged the emperor for mercy.

It was as if the world had changed overnight, but within two days, the imperial palace issued a decree that King Sirong and the Hussar General were cleared of their crimes, given posthumous titles, and returned to the mansion.

And Qin Wang, the guilty minister, was sentenced to hang.

Prison prison.

The air is humid, the stone wall is soaked in water, and the bottom is covered with moss, occasionally a few patches of gray and dry red, and the smell of blood is strong and pervasive.

In the tight prison cell, a man with disheveled hair was sitting slumped in the corner, looking at the shackles on his feet with a gloomy face, as if thinking of something, showing a strange smile.

There was the sound of light footsteps, and someone approached and stopped outside the prison door. The snow-white clothes were incompatible with the dark prison room.

"Bitch!" Qin Wang raised his head, gritted his teeth and yelled angrily, the shackles on his feet made noise, and he stood up with difficulty.

But the woman outside the door didn't seem to hear what he said, but pursed her lips instead, making Qin Wang's back feel cold.

"Zhou Cike, you are so vicious, you use me and coax me around! How can an unscrupulous, lying person like you have the face to live!" Qin Wang lowered his voice, neighing like a poisonous snake.

"Little General Qin, don't worry." Ci Ke still raised her cherry lips, she looked down at Qin Wang as if looking at a corpse, "You will die before me."

"Today, I want to watch you, how to pay for the lives of my whole family, how to be brought to justice, so as to relieve the hatred in my heart." Ci Ke said with a smile, her eyes curved, she suddenly took a step back, almost A forbidden soldier in armor came from nowhere, opened the cell door and poured in.

Panic flashed in Qin Wang's eyes, he hurried back, but there was a solid wall behind him, there was no way to retreat, and finally he was forced to the ground, someone took out a hemp rope and quickly wrapped it around his neck.

"No, no, Zhou Cike!"

He suddenly hissed and shouted: "Zhou Cike, you think you have won! You have a heart of snakes and scorpions, and you are destined to be rejected by others. You don't deserve to be pitied by anyone in this life!"

"You wait, you and Ye, you will suffer retribution sooner or later!"

"You also know that there will be retribution in the world." Ci Ke's eyes were red from laughing, and her voice suddenly whispered, "Retribution is coming."

The man's breathless cry changed from shrill to weak, and finally fell silent. Ci Ke clenched his hands tightly, without blinking his eyes, as if he wanted to engrave this terrifying scene into his heart.

Finally, with a loud bang, Ci Ke's body softened, he took a few steps back and leaned against the wall, and put his right hand on his shoulder, as if hugging himself tightly.

The cold prison atmosphere surrounded her.

"Father, mother, brother, Ci Ke and Auntie will get rid of an enemy for you."

"You can rest in peace." She said softly, then straightened her waist, her eyes became cold again, and she strode out of the cell, her snow-white skirt swaying behind her.

Walking out of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, I saw a woman in Chinese clothes standing under the palace wall, and two rows of palace people behind her, with heavy makeup on her face, her expression could not be seen.

"Aunt." Ci Ke approached and said in a low voice.

"He's dead?" Zhou Ziqiu's eyes shone with skylight.

Ci Ke nodded, then closed his eyes slightly, the scene just now remained in front of his eyes for a long time.

"That's good." Zhou Ziqiu said normally, as if Qin Wang's death was nothing more than a trivial matter, then he put his arm around Ci Ke's shoulder, and talked to her about the irrelevant weather.

The words turned a corner while talking: "You just waved and left the Duke's mansion, and Ye Youqing didn't say anything?"

Ci Ke's eyes darkened, he curled his lips ironically, and said, "No."

Zhou Ziqiu nodded, seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and then tentatively said: "But these days, you are always in a daze, could it be..."

"Just tired." Ci Ke shook his head.

"That's good." Zhou Ziqiu smiled sweetly.

"A person like me will be more troublesome to her by her side." Ci Ke's eyelashes drooped to hide the expression in his eyes.

Although Zhou Ziqiu was smiling, she still looked at her worriedly. When the two walked to the Imperial Garden, she confirmed again: "So...you really don't like Ye Youqing?"

"I don't like it." Ci Ke closed his eyes and said.

"That's good." Zhou Ziqiu said, patted her on the shoulder, "Go back to Qiushui Palace, when you were away, she came to see you."
