◎Let me out◎
Some blood dripped from Shen Baiyi's wound, and the imperial doctor who changed her dressing frowned again and again: "Guard Shen should take care of his wounds."
Lord Hou kept his word, he had already told him to take care of him carefully, but if Shen Huwei was disobedient, it would be them who would suffer.
Shen Baiyi also didn't intend to affect others, so she nodded guiltily: "Yes."
After the imperial doctor left, Qin Shuang sat with her for a while, saying that there were still some trivial matters, so they also left one after another.
The outside of the house was heavily locked, Shen Baiyi nestled on the bed and was extremely bored, and even counting the time, it was not until Shen time.
She lay down for a while, and Wang Mingsheng came with two maidservants, changed the bed curtains, cleaned the room again, and played with some high-quality porcelain.
The quilts and jade pillows also brought brand new ones, and even the shiny screen was replaced.
Shen Baiyi had only lived in this room for a few days, and she didn't buy many things. She didn't think it was Wang Mingsheng who suddenly thought of buying something for her.
She watched this scene quietly, and gave Wang Mingsheng a strange look, and the latter returned her suspicious look.
"Uncle Wang, which one is this?"
Wang Mingsheng muttered, and said after a while: "Master Hou is going to stay in the side hall."
Shen Baiyi jumped up from the mahogany chair, her eyes widened: "Uncle Wang, the Hou's Mansion is such a big place, why is the Hou's Mansion and I sharing the same room?"
Wang Mingsheng also wanted to ask, what is the reason for this? Rumors spread that Yu Zhicong had raised a male favorite in the mansion and was still in the top position as a guard.
Of course he didn't dare to ask Yu Zhicong, and he was not polite when facing Shen Baiyi: "You ask me, whoever I ask, the whole Hou Mansion belongs to Lord Hou, he can live wherever he wants."
This is true, but Shen Baiyi couldn't accept it, she justified: "Then I will give up this house to Lord Hou, and I will live in the guard's house."
Wang Mingsheng looked at her with the eyes of a fool, and pushed her back on the chair: "You, you, why did you anger Lord Hou? You are locked by the lock outside, and you still want to go to the guardhouse, what a fool's dream! "
"Uncle Wang, you can save me..." Shen Baiyi began to play the emotional card, "I am about the same age as your eldest son, do you have the heart to see me locked up here?"
"You secretly want to run away. Don't think I don't know. You haven't learned enough of the lesson last time?" Wang Mingsheng pointed at her resentfully. The boy had high hopes, but who would have thought that he would really fall into Lord Hou's eyes, or in another form.
No one is more speechless than Shen Baiyi, her mood suddenly fell to the bottom, if she knew it earlier, she would not have fought unprepared battles.
Wang Mingsheng cleared his throat, glanced at the two maidservants, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "I am in charge of the house, and I also watched Master Hou grow up. They are not allowed to spread rumors indiscriminately, but you should restrain yourself."
Shen Baiyi's sleeves were loose and loose, and they slid down to the elbow, revealing her white forearm, and there were a few light red marks on it, which were pinched by Yu Zhicong.
Wang Mingsheng's eyes fell on this, and he shook his head: "You..."
Shen Baiyi hastily tugged on his sleeves to cover it up, it was so old that he couldn't see anyone, this time he really couldn't explain it clearly.
"Uncle Wang, I'm just an orphan, and I just know how to fight. Master Hou is just trying to figure it out for a while, so you can persuade him."
"If I can persuade you, can I still be here?" Wang Mingsheng's eyes were sharp, "My wife also said to go with Lord Hou, and he will do as he pleases."
Wang Mingsheng's wife was Princess Qingping's personal maid in the past, which is another reason why he has a place in this mansion.
Shen Baiyi was so angry that he blew his beard and stared.
Wang Mingsheng patted her on the head lightly, and told her like a loving father: "Master Hou treats you well."
I don't like you big headed ghost.
With a puffy face, Shen Baiyi pushed his hand away: "Where is he now?"
Dignity is earned, as is freedom, she decided to negotiate with Yu Zhicong!Can't sit still, really can't sit still, her temper can only be a matter of time, but Yu Zhicong's temper can't be sure.
Wang Mingsheng was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect that she would take the initiative to ask, and said: "Today the emperor hosted a banquet to welcome the empress dowager, Lord Hou was summoned to the palace and has not returned yet."
"Why are you going again? Isn't it a sign of the Hongmen Banquet?"
"It was summoned by the Empress Dowager, I don't know anything else, Yu Qing and Yu Lan accompanied him, it should be fine."
Shen Baiyi held her face in her hands, she didn't know what kind of monster this old woman was going to be. She had stayed in the nunnery for so many years, but she didn't feel the Buddha's light in her heart at all, and there was a stench under her skin.
Speaking of it, although the emperor and the empress dowager are separated by a generation, the grandparents and grandchildren seem to be carved out of the same mold. They are all smiling tigers. On the surface, they are affectionate with you, but secretly want to kill you blink.
Shen Baiyi nodded to show that she knew, and said to Wang Mingsheng: "When Lord Hou comes back, please pass the word for me, just say I'm looking for him."
Wang Mingsheng revealed a look of "children can be taught": "Okay, you can rest at ease, guarding the boys outside the door, tell them what you want, they don't dare to detain you."
With people coming and going for a while, Shen Baiyi felt bored, so she just lay down on the bed and fell asleep.
In the deserted imperial palace in the past, today sake collides, singing and dancing are peaceful, the former ministers and the concubines of the harem set up separate banquets, the banquets are full of singing and singing, and there are also undercurrents in the banquets.
The opera singer Zhi Zhi Ya Ya had a handsome face and extremely gorgeous clothes, for a moment he couldn't tell whether he was a man or a woman.
The emperor sat in the first place, with the empress dowager on the right and Yu Zhicong on the left.
Those who can enter the hall to meet His Majesty are all officials above the fourth rank, and those below the fourth rank can only eat something on the east and west corridors outside the hall.
So these people are old foxes.
The harem concubines and the queen were not in the main hall either, they just enjoyed the atmosphere of the banquet together.
According to the rules, the Empress Dowager is the most honorable person, and today she is hosting a banquet for her, she should sit in the middle, and the courtiers know who is the emperor.
The empress dowager was still dressed in plain clothes, she didn't wear makeup or palace clothes, but the aura of a superior person on her body made it hard to ignore her identity.
Yu Zhicong was playing with the openworked double dragon white jade disc on his waist, his eyes were slightly drooping, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
He was wearing a black robe today, which made his skin whiter. When the wind blew, his hair swayed with the wind, and his face was expressionless, which made people a little more cautious.
There was no sun in the sky, but there were a few dark clouds floating in the sky. The Empress Dowager received the gift from the former minister with a kind smile on her face.
Yu Zhicong didn't move, the emperor looked at him sideways, like an elder brother taking care of his siblings, and said: "Which food is not to your liking? Let the eunuch withdraw."
Yu Zhicong raised his eyes, and said coldly: "Thank you for your love, Your Majesty, there is nothing."
The emperor smiled and said: "Today is a welcome banquet for the emperor's grandmother, so don't shake your face."
Yu Zhicong didn't answer, but still lowered his eyes. He stared at the piece of lily cake on the plate, remembering that before he came out from the Hou's mansion, he had ordered the canteen to cook some meals for Shen Baiyi, and Qin Shuang would send them to him. He didn't know about the meal. Did you eat it?
If she didn't eat a meal, she would hold her stomach and call herself hungry.
The emperor looked at him coldly, and an unknown anger welled up in his heart. He, the majestic king of a country, wanted to see his face.
But soon, when Yu Zhicong becomes an ant in his hands, he must make him pay for what he did in the past.
The Empress Dowager also looked at this scene and couldn't help shaking her head secretly, one was useless and the other was too presumptuous.
At this time, Duke Xi got up from his seat, raised his wine glass, bowed to the Empress Dowager, and said respectfully: "It's my honor that my aunt can return to court."
All the courtiers also stood up and raised their glasses again to look into the distance. The Empress Dowager replaced the wine with tea and said with a smile, "I'm a woman, so I can't bear such a heavy name."
Everyone praised again.
The identity of the empress dowager is better than nothing, and more of the intricate family behind her.
Half of the people here are old ministers, and the other half are naturally new ministers. Someone asked in a low voice: "Master Zhang, why did the Empress Dowager leave the palace?"
If one was determined to become a monk, one should have been unwilling to take care of this secular world for so many years, but after so many years, one was willing to come back.
The two had some personal friendships, so they dared to ask such a bold question.
The one who was called Mr. Zhang stroked his sparse beard: "When Princess Qingping married Lord Yu Hou, she invited her out of the palace."
"Oh? Why? This should be a good marriage."
Since this day is mentioned, the two must be related.
Mr. Zhang said in a low voice: "Princess Qingping gave birth to this Lord Marquis in July after her marriage. Who do you think the child should be?"
The younger official exclaimed: "This..."
"There are other stories here, we courtiers don't know, the Empress Dowager must know something, that's why she left the palace, out of sight and out of mind."
Having said that, naturally I dare not ask again, but I still have other doubts, so I just talked about it together without doing anything.
"Princess Qingping is a mysterious one. How can a princess live in the consort's mansion without building a princess mansion after marriage, and this title is still there." He glanced around and found no one was paying attention, so he continued, "Rumor The princess went crazy after giving birth to Lord Hou, but is it true?"
Mr. Zhang is also very cautious: "The princess is crazy, and the old Hou Ye was also crazy and talking about it not long ago. There must be something hidden in it."
"However, I was still an eighth-rank official back then. How could I meet this princess? I only know that the marriage was ordered by the first emperor at that time. The Shangyi Supervisor drove the embroiderers who embroidered wedding dresses non-stop, and several of them almost died. "
That is to say, this marriage is very bizarre.
The official positions of the two were not too high, they both sat at the end of the hall, and there were few eunuchs and maids guarding the wine and serving dishes, and the singing and dancing girls who were dancing and playing the piano on the stage drowned out the voices of the two of them, so they dared to be so presumptuous.
"So, is it true or not that Master Hou killed his mother?"
Originally, it was a gossip discussion between colleagues, and the discussion was about dead people, so I had less scruples, but when this question was asked on Yu Zhicong's head, Mr. Zhang dared not say it again anyway.
"This happened in the Hou's Mansion. Those people who served in the mansion back then have long since disappeared. How dare I talk nonsense." Mr. Zhang remained silent, picked up the wine glass and bumped it, "Eat wine, I talk too much, you But don't take it to heart."
The more ambiguous the words, the more imaginative they will be.
It's a long time to exchange cups and cups. There are no dancers or singers. The emperor is seeking the opinion of the empress dowager whether he wants to listen to an opera or watch a gun.
An upright adult with a Chinese character face stepped forward, knelt down in the middle of the lobby, and took out a densely written rice paper from his arms.
For a while, everyone was puzzled by the incident, only saw that this was Mr. Guo, the censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
Master Guo pointed at Yu Zhicong and said: "Your Majesty, Lord Yu has been acting arrogantly and domineeringly all year round, with ruthless means, and behaves like a wild wolf in the mountains. Anything he can't see, his life is hanging by a thread."
Anyone can say what they say, so of course they have to produce evidence.
"When the emperor was out of the palace to show compassion for the people, he rushed into the palace with a cavalry and kidnapped several envoys from the imperial hospital just to treat a small guard. The imperial doctors have not yet returned to the palace. "Master Guo said with an angry face.
"A few days ago, the people of the Hou's Mansion tied the head of the country into the Hou's Mansion, and he lost both ears when he came out. He is still recuperating in the mansion until now, which is shameful."
"And so on, one after another, I implore Your Majesty to abolish the title, withdraw the military talisman, and demote Yu Zhicong to a commoner."
After he finished speaking, the corner of the emperor's mouth seemed to be smiling. This person was arranged by him and the empress dowager. Of course, he said every word from his heart.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Yu Zhicong, the latter's expression did not change, he even seemed a little sleepy, and he gave his head a look.
The Great Scholars from the Zhongji Palace of the cabinet also stood up, cupped their hands and said: "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager, what Master Guo said is true."
As soon as the words fell, there were whispers in the banquet, so where did this come from?
He continued: "But there is another secret."
"Hou Ye was assassinated in the school grounds of the mansion, and almost died. The guard in Mr. Guo's words was the one who saved Hou Ye's life. In desperation, he took the imperial physician away for treatment. As the saying goes, saving a life is better than making a seventh grade Futu, Lord Hou is setting an example for me and the others this time."
Master Guo was very angry: "Then how do you explain it, Master Guo?"
"Master Guozhang deserves what he deserves. The Japanese pirates are rampant in the sea. As early as the previous emperor, he decreed not to enter the sea. The private market will definitely be China and France. The Guozhang's people rowed out to sea in private. I don't know why. Could it be collusion with the Japanese pirates? "
This is a very important statement. The king is the queen's father and a businessman. He usually earns a lot of money to fill the treasury. Naturally, the emperor will not say much, but when it comes to going to sea and Japanese pirates, he can't sit still.
He forgot for a moment that he wanted to find fault with Yu Zhicong, and he frowned with displeasure.
The empress dowager saw what he was thinking, and said immediately, "Do you have evidence?"
Although these words were spoken to the Grand Scholar, it was Yu Zhicong who looked at them.
"Grandmother, this is the head of the country, is it a state matter or a family matter?" Yu Zhicong sneered.
The empress dowager felt a sense of threat, this child was threatening her, it was really presumptuous, as the emperor said, no one would act recklessly.
She grimaced, squeezed the prayer beads in her hand and said nothing.
The emperor only felt that the situation was out of his control. It seemed that Yu Zhicong was well prepared to enter the palace. This round seemed to be lost without a fight. He still had to interrogate the queen.
With this farce, everyone at the banquet was dull, Yu Zhicong raised his head and took a sip of wine: "It's terrible."
"Your Majesty, if there is nothing else to do, I will leave the palace first."
As soon as he said that, he got up and left the banquet in front of the emperor in full view. The empress dowager couldn't hold back her face, so she left the banquet with an excuse.
The two important figures have left, and there is no need for the emperor to stay any longer, as if he was showing his courtiers a joke.
A good banquet ended up being completely different.
Yu Zhicong returned home at Shen Shiji, when Shen Baiyi had just fallen asleep.
Wang Mingsheng waited at the door, asked as usual if everything was going well, and said that he had done what he ordered.
"Master Hou, I've already had the main house come to look at it, and it will take five months at the earliest to repair it." Wang Mingsheng didn't react much to him setting fire to the house, anyway, Yu Zhicong has always been like this, "In the meantime There is still a new year, maybe half a month will be delayed."
Yu Zhicong nodded to express his understanding: "There is no rush, the side hall is enough."
Wang Mingsheng hesitated again and again and persuaded: "Master Hou, the side hall is still a bit small, how about..."
Yu Zhicong frowned: "Enough."
"Has Shen Baiyi eaten lunch?"
Wang Mingsheng replied: "I ate all the ones sent by Miss Qin."
"She won't make a fuss about going on a hunger strike." Yu Zhicong said with a smile hidden in his eyes.
"Master Hou, Shen Wei said that if you come back, she will find you for something."
"Well, I'll go."
Wang Mingsheng's footsteps automatically stopped, he put his hands behind his back, and muttered slowly: "I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse."
Yu Zhicong went to the side hall and asked the servant to open the door. He entered the room without knocking. Shen Baiyi, who was a light sleeper during the day, woke up immediately after hearing the sound.
With a lesson learned from the past, she pinched her thigh severely, and only raised her head when she felt the pain.
Let’s just say, Yu Zhicong is wearing clothes today.
"Are you looking for me?"
Shen Baiyi cautiously got up from the bed, pulled Yu Zhicong to sit down at the table, and said seriously: "You can't lock me."
Yu Zhicong was amused by her straightforwardness, and was also surprised by Shen Baiyi's face turning like a book: "Who is yelling to leave this morning."
"Ahem...it's me."
"So why do you think I'm going to let you out?"
Since Shen Baiyi has made up her mind to fight for freedom, of course she won't be repelled by him so easily. She stretched out two fingers: "I have two requests."
"Let's listen." The implication is that I didn't agree.
"First, the Hou Mansion is closely guarded. I won't run away anymore. If you are worried, you can let Yu Lan guard me."
Shen Baiyi opened his mouth to continue, but Yu Zhicong suddenly said, "Yu Lan?"
"Uh... It's not that other people can't do it, I'm just making an analogy."
There are not many people in this mansion who can fight her.
Yu Zhicong was a little annoyed: "Second?"
"Second, I want to live alone."
"No way." Yu Zhicong raised his eyelids, "I don't know about your ghostly thoughts?"
Shen Baiyi felt a sense of embarrassment about being exposed to a lie, she tried her best to look more righteous, she would definitely be depressed if this small room was closed.
Her hair was loosely draped behind her, her face was pale, her lips had no color, and her clothes were messy and loose, covering her whole body inside.
"Master Hou should know my temperament, you lock me in this room, in case I can't think about it someday."
Her hair was loosely draped behind her, her face was pale, her lips had no color, and her clothes were messy and loose, covering her whole body inside.
All this seemed to prove that what she said was the truth.
Yu Zhicong squeezed his palms: "Then I'll tie up your legs and feet so that people can stare at you."
"Master Hou, you really underestimate me." Shen Baiyi tilted her thin cheeks, threatening him viciously.
Yu Zhicong stood up and took two steps towards her, the clothes of the two were tightly pressed together, Shen Baiyi subconsciously took a step back, Yu Zhicong was a little angry, she felt it.
Yu Zhicong bent slightly, and there was some inquiry in his words: "Are you threatening me?"
"No, I don't dare." Said the weakest words in the most embarrassing tone.
Yu Zhicong seemed to be thinking, he lowered his eyes, the room was as silent as the sea for a while, and Shen Baiyi could hear his own heartbeat.
She has no bargaining chips.
"Why do you want to leave?" Yu Zhicong finally asked this question again.
Shen Baiyi is speechless, do I want to say that I quit without the consent of the original boss, I am afraid that the emperor will send someone to take my life again, and I am afraid that I will be caught between the two of you as cannon fodder, I can't say that.
Then I can only say that I am afraid of death.
"Master Hou is surrounded by many crises. As a bodyguard, I will be the first to be targeted. I almost lost my life in the school grounds last time."
A stern look crossed Yu Zhicong's eyebrows: "One day I'm here, you won't die, even if I'm going to die, I'll strangle you to death and bury you first, so that it won't fall into the hands of others."
Shen Baiyi waved his hands again and again: "That's not what I mean, I don't want to die."
understand?
Yu Zhicong's expression softened a little: "Why, do you think I can't beat the little emperor?"
The ghost knows if you can fight, anyway, a small guy like me will not have a good time, but people have to bow their heads under the eaves, and it is serious to exchange for freedom.
"Everyone raises a girl at home, so you say it's nothing for you to raise a guard, it's not good for my reputation." Shen Baiyi knew that he was never afraid of being poked in the back, so he could only stare at him pitifully.
Had it not been for the onions, she would have shed a few tears on the spot.
Yu Zhicong could naturally tell whether she was crying for real or fake, but he didn't intend to expose her: "If that's the case, I won't lock you up."
Before Shen Baiyi had time to be happy, he continued: "But from now on, don't leave my sight for half a step, I want to live in this side hall too."
He narrowed his eyebrows, but he didn't intend to give in at all.
Shen Baiyi pinched her chin, rolled her eyes, as if she didn't have the capital to bargain, she simply nodded first: "I want to go out and exercise my muscles."
"Alright, find two guards to discuss with you?"
Shen Baiyi touched his shoulder, and Yu Zhicong cast his eyes down again: "Forget it, why not another day."
"Hey, just today, the imperial doctor said that I'm recovering well, so I'll be fine as soon as I can."
Shen Baiyi also wanted to gain some more practical experience, and now it happened that someone would practice with her, so she wished for it.
The author says:
Yu Zhicong: His mouth is too upright.

The emperor looked at him coldly, and an unknown anger welled up in his heart. He, the majestic king of a country, wanted to see his face.
But soon, when Yu Zhicong becomes an ant in his hands, he must make him pay for what he did in the past.
The Empress Dowager also looked at this scene and couldn't help shaking her head secretly, one was useless and the other was too presumptuous.
At this time, Duke Xi got up from his seat, raised his wine glass, bowed to the Empress Dowager, and said respectfully: "It's my honor that my aunt can return to court."
All the courtiers also stood up and raised their glasses again to look into the distance. The Empress Dowager replaced the wine with tea and said with a smile, "I'm a woman, so I can't bear such a heavy name."
Everyone praised again.
The identity of the empress dowager is better than nothing, and more of the intricate family behind her.
Half of the people here are old ministers, and the other half are naturally new ministers. Someone asked in a low voice: "Master Zhang, why did the Empress Dowager leave the palace?"
If one was determined to become a monk, one should have been unwilling to take care of this secular world for so many years, but after so many years, one was willing to come back.
The two had some personal friendships, so they dared to ask such a bold question.
The one who was called Mr. Zhang stroked his sparse beard: "When Princess Qingping married Lord Yu Hou, she invited her out of the palace."
"Oh? Why? This should be a good marriage."
Since this day is mentioned, the two must be related.
Mr. Zhang said in a low voice: "Princess Qingping gave birth to this Lord Marquis in July after her marriage. Who do you think the child should be?"
The younger official exclaimed: "This..."
"There are other stories here, we courtiers don't know, the Empress Dowager must know something, that's why she left the palace, out of sight and out of mind."
Having said that, naturally I dare not ask again, but I still have other doubts, so I just talked about it together without doing anything.
"Princess Qingping is a mysterious one. How can a princess live in the consort's mansion without building a princess mansion after marriage, and this title is still there." He glanced around and found no one was paying attention, so he continued, "Rumor The princess went crazy after giving birth to Lord Hou, but is it true?"
Mr. Zhang is also very cautious: "The princess is crazy, and the old Hou Ye was also crazy and talking about it not long ago. There must be something hidden in it."
"However, I was still an eighth-rank official back then. How could I meet this princess? I only know that the marriage was ordered by the first emperor at that time. The Shangyi Supervisor drove the embroiderers who embroidered wedding dresses non-stop, and several of them almost died. "
That is to say, this marriage is very bizarre.
The official positions of the two were not too high, they both sat at the end of the hall, and there were few eunuchs and maids guarding the wine and serving dishes, and the singing and dancing girls who were dancing and playing the piano on the stage drowned out the voices of the two of them, so they dared to be so presumptuous.
"So, is it true or not that Master Hou killed his mother?"
Originally, it was a gossip discussion between colleagues, and the discussion was about dead people, so I had less scruples, but when this question was asked on Yu Zhicong's head, Mr. Zhang dared not say it again anyway.
"This happened in the Hou's Mansion. Those people who served in the mansion back then have long since disappeared. How dare I talk nonsense." Mr. Zhang remained silent, picked up the wine glass and bumped it, "Eat wine, I talk too much, you But don't take it to heart."
The more ambiguous the words, the more imaginative they will be.
It's a long time to exchange cups and cups. There are no dancers or singers. The emperor is seeking the opinion of the empress dowager whether he wants to listen to an opera or watch a gun.
An upright adult with a Chinese character face stepped forward, knelt down in the middle of the lobby, and took out a densely written rice paper from his arms.
For a while, everyone was puzzled by the incident, only saw that this was Mr. Guo, the censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
Master Guo pointed at Yu Zhicong and said: "Your Majesty, Lord Yu has been acting arrogantly and domineeringly all year round, with ruthless means, and behaves like a wild wolf in the mountains. Anything he can't see, his life is hanging by a thread."
Anyone can say what they say, so of course they have to produce evidence.
"When the emperor was out of the palace to show compassion for the people, he rushed into the palace with a cavalry and kidnapped several envoys from the imperial hospital just to treat a small guard. The imperial doctors have not yet returned to the palace. "Master Guo said with an angry face.
"A few days ago, the people of the Hou's Mansion tied the head of the country into the Hou's Mansion, and he lost both ears when he came out. He is still recuperating in the mansion until now, which is shameful."
"And so on, one after another, I implore Your Majesty to abolish the title, withdraw the military talisman, and demote Yu Zhicong to a commoner."
After he finished speaking, the corner of the emperor's mouth seemed to be smiling. This person was arranged by him and the empress dowager. Of course, he said every word from his heart.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Yu Zhicong, the latter's expression did not change, he even seemed a little sleepy, and he gave his head a look.
The Great Scholars from the Zhongji Palace of the cabinet also stood up, cupped their hands and said: "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager, what Master Guo said is true."
As soon as the words fell, there were whispers in the banquet, so where did this come from?
He continued: "But there is another secret."
"Hou Ye was assassinated in the school grounds of the mansion, and almost died. The guard in Mr. Guo's words was the one who saved Hou Ye's life. In desperation, he took the imperial physician away for treatment. As the saying goes, saving a life is better than making a seventh grade Futu, Lord Hou is setting an example for me and the others this time."
Master Guo was very angry: "Then how do you explain it, Master Guo?"
"Master Guozhang deserves what he deserves. The Japanese pirates are rampant in the sea. As early as the previous emperor, he decreed not to enter the sea. The private market will definitely be China and France. The Guozhang's people rowed out to sea in private. I don't know why. Could it be collusion with the Japanese pirates? "
This is a very important statement. The king is the queen's father and a businessman. He usually earns a lot of money to fill the treasury. Naturally, the emperor will not say much, but when it comes to going to sea and Japanese pirates, he can't sit still.
He forgot for a moment that he wanted to find fault with Yu Zhicong, and he frowned with displeasure.
The empress dowager saw what he was thinking, and said immediately, "Do you have evidence?"
Although these words were spoken to the Grand Scholar, it was Yu Zhicong who looked at them.
"Grandmother, this is the head of the country, is it a state matter or a family matter?" Yu Zhicong sneered.
The empress dowager felt a sense of threat, this child was threatening her, it was really presumptuous, as the emperor said, no one would act recklessly.
She grimaced, squeezed the prayer beads in her hand and said nothing.
The emperor only felt that the situation was out of his control. It seemed that Yu Zhicong was well prepared to enter the palace. This round seemed to be lost without a fight. He still had to interrogate the queen.
With this farce, everyone at the banquet was dull, Yu Zhicong raised his head and took a sip of wine: "It's terrible."
"Your Majesty, if there is nothing else to do, I will leave the palace first."
As soon as he said that, he got up and left the banquet in front of the emperor in full view. The empress dowager couldn't hold back her face, so she left the banquet with an excuse.
The two important figures have left, and there is no need for the emperor to stay any longer, as if he was showing his courtiers a joke.
A good banquet ended up being completely different.
Yu Zhicong returned home at Shen Shiji, when Shen Baiyi had just fallen asleep.
Wang Mingsheng waited at the door, asked as usual if everything was going well, and said that he had done what he ordered.
"Master Hou, I've already had the main house come to look at it, and it will take five months at the earliest to repair it." Wang Mingsheng didn't react much to him setting fire to the house, anyway, Yu Zhicong has always been like this, "In the meantime There is still a new year, maybe half a month will be delayed."
Yu Zhicong nodded to express his understanding: "There is no rush, the side hall is enough."
Wang Mingsheng hesitated again and again and persuaded: "Master Hou, the side hall is still a bit small, how about..."
Yu Zhicong frowned: "Enough."
"Has Shen Baiyi eaten lunch?"
Wang Mingsheng replied: "I ate all the ones sent by Miss Qin."
"She won't make a fuss about going on a hunger strike." Yu Zhicong said with a smile hidden in his eyes.
"Master Hou, Shen Wei said that if you come back, she will find you for something."
"Well, I'll go."
Wang Mingsheng's footsteps automatically stopped, he put his hands behind his back, and muttered slowly: "I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse."
Yu Zhicong went to the side hall and asked the servant to open the door. He entered the room without knocking. Shen Baiyi, who was a light sleeper during the day, woke up immediately after hearing the sound.
With a lesson learned from the past, she pinched her thigh severely, and only raised her head when she felt the pain.
Let’s just say, Yu Zhicong is wearing clothes today.
"Are you looking for me?"
Shen Baiyi cautiously got up from the bed, pulled Yu Zhicong to sit down at the table, and said seriously: "You can't lock me."
Yu Zhicong was amused by her straightforwardness, and was also surprised by Shen Baiyi's face turning like a book: "Who is yelling to leave this morning."
"Ahem...it's me."
"So why do you think I'm going to let you out?"
Since Shen Baiyi has made up her mind to fight for freedom, of course she won't be repelled by him so easily. She stretched out two fingers: "I have two requests."
"Let's listen." The implication is that I didn't agree.
"First, the Hou Mansion is closely guarded. I won't run away anymore. If you are worried, you can let Yu Lan guard me."
Shen Baiyi opened his mouth to continue, but Yu Zhicong suddenly said, "Yu Lan?"
"Uh... It's not that other people can't do it, I'm just making an analogy."
There are not many people in this mansion who can fight her.
Yu Zhicong was a little annoyed: "Second?"
"Second, I want to live alone."
"No way." Yu Zhicong raised his eyelids, "I don't know about your ghostly thoughts?"
Shen Baiyi felt a sense of embarrassment about being exposed to a lie, she tried her best to look more righteous, she would definitely be depressed if this small room was closed.
Her hair was loosely draped behind her, her face was pale, her lips had no color, and her clothes were messy and loose, covering her whole body inside.
"Master Hou should know my temperament, you lock me in this room, in case I can't think about it someday."
Her hair was loosely draped behind her, her face was pale, her lips had no color, and her clothes were messy and loose, covering her whole body inside.
All this seemed to prove that what she said was the truth.
Yu Zhicong squeezed his palms: "Then I'll tie up your legs and feet so that people can stare at you."
"Master Hou, you really underestimate me." Shen Baiyi tilted her thin cheeks, threatening him viciously.
Yu Zhicong stood up and took two steps towards her, the clothes of the two were tightly pressed together, Shen Baiyi subconsciously took a step back, Yu Zhicong was a little angry, she felt it.
Yu Zhicong bent slightly, and there was some inquiry in his words: "Are you threatening me?"
"No, I don't dare." Said the weakest words in the most embarrassing tone.
Yu Zhicong seemed to be thinking, he lowered his eyes, the room was as silent as the sea for a while, and Shen Baiyi could hear his own heartbeat.
She has no bargaining chips.
"Why do you want to leave?" Yu Zhicong finally asked this question again.
Shen Baiyi is speechless, do I want to say that I quit without the consent of the original boss, I am afraid that the emperor will send someone to take my life again, and I am afraid that I will be caught between the two of you as cannon fodder, I can't say that.
Then I can only say that I am afraid of death.
"Master Hou is surrounded by many crises. As a bodyguard, I will be the first to be targeted. I almost lost my life in the school grounds last time."
A stern look crossed Yu Zhicong's eyebrows: "One day I'm here, you won't die, even if I'm going to die, I'll strangle you to death and bury you first, so that it won't fall into the hands of others."
Shen Baiyi waved his hands again and again: "That's not what I mean, I don't want to die."
understand?
Yu Zhicong's expression softened a little: "Why, do you think I can't beat the little emperor?"
The ghost knows if you can fight, anyway, a small guy like me will not have a good time, but people have to bow their heads under the eaves, and it is serious to exchange for freedom.
"Everyone raises a girl at home, so you say it's nothing for you to raise a guard, it's not good for my reputation." Shen Baiyi knew that he was never afraid of being poked in the back, so he could only stare at him pitifully.
Had it not been for the onions, she would have shed a few tears on the spot.
Yu Zhicong could naturally tell whether she was crying for real or fake, but he didn't intend to expose her: "If that's the case, I won't lock you up."
Before Shen Baiyi had time to be happy, he continued: "But from now on, don't leave my sight for half a step, I want to live in this side hall too."
He narrowed his eyebrows, but he didn't intend to give in at all.
Shen Baiyi pinched her chin, rolled her eyes, as if she didn't have the capital to bargain, she simply nodded first: "I want to go out and exercise my muscles."
"Alright, find two guards to discuss with you?"
Shen Baiyi touched his shoulder, and Yu Zhicong cast his eyes down again: "Forget it, why not another day."
"Hey, just today, the imperial doctor said that I'm recovering well, so I'll be fine as soon as I can."
Shen Baiyi also wanted to gain some more practical experience, and now it happened that someone would practice with her, so she wished for it.
The author says:
Yu Zhicong: His mouth is too upright.
