There are still mourning flags hanging at the gate of Shangshu Mansion, and there is not even a gatekeeper at the gate.

The wind in the autumn night is a bit cool, the moon is hidden in the thick clouds, there is no light on the ground, only the faint light of the lanterns hanging high in the official residence.

The faces of several people could not be seen clearly, but just by hitting that pestle, one could feel a strong murderous aura.

Yu Lan stepped forward to knock on the door, and it took a long while before there was any movement inside. Someone slowly opened a gap, Yu Lan's long sword was stretched out on his neck, and her feet had already touched the door, which could not be closed again.

The boy noticed that the visitor was not kind, and immediately shouted loudly: "Come here!"

When several people stepped into the house, Shen Baiyi felt a little arrogant, there were only four of them, and Yu knew that Cong didn't know kung fu, so he dared to enter the house blatantly in the middle of the night.

For a moment, there was light in the mansion, and there was a rustling sound, a young man was the first to appear, followed by a group of servants, when he saw Yu Zhicong for the first time, his aura instantly became weak a cut.

He looked a little flustered, but he still performed enough etiquette: "Meet Lord Hou, I don't know what is the reason for the late night visit?"

It seems that he is the housekeeper of the Shangshu Mansion, so Yu Zhicong naturally wouldn't spend too much time talking with these people, Yu Qing preemptively asked: "Where is your Lord Shangshu?"

"Master Shang Shu has already fallen asleep..."

Yu Lan's dagger was already close to his cheek, firmly holding his shoulder: "Lead the way."

The young men didn't dare to say anything, the young man shook his head, although Yu Zhicong only brought three guards, but these were all very skilled, so the master's affairs were left to the master to handle.

Since the death of his only son, Mrs. Shangshu couldn't get sick and lingered on the bed. Mr. Shangshu couldn't see his wife crying all day long, so he often rested in his concubine's room.

The concubine's house was in the backyard, and no movement was heard. When Yu Zhicong and his party went, he and the concubine were still sound asleep.

A few people entered the door, Yu Lan was guarding the door with a sword in her arms, Yu Qing grabbed the Minister of the Ministry of Officials from the bed, he was shivering in thin pajamas: "What is the meaning of this, Lord Hou?"

Yu Zhicong was sitting in front of the table, the light from the candle flickered on his face, the moment Zhang Shangshu raised his eyes, he felt a little pity on his expression.

Zhang Shangshu touched his neck subconsciously, although he hated him deeply in his heart, but now there is no obvious mountain or leak.

Yu Zhicong bent his index finger slightly, and clasped the table with his knuckles: "Princess Qingping, what else do you know?"

Zhang Shangshu was still guessing why Yu Zhicong broke into his house today and went crazy. When he said these four words, he felt a chill down his spine, and he couldn't care about other things at the moment: "Master Hou, this matter is too serious. Empress Dowager instructed, I am just a person who handles affairs."

Yu Zhicong didn't have the patience to play Tai Chi with him, so he just said: "Is this what the emperor's grandmother did? You contributed to it, so does the emperor know?"

Zhang Shangshu lowered his head, as if he was thinking about something, and after a while he said: "The emperor also knows."

Yu Zhicong only felt a pain in the palm of his hand, and there were tiny fragments of the porcelain cup embedded in his flesh, and he clenched his fists: "He wants to take the soldier talisman from my hand?"

"I don't know."

"Huh?" Yu Zhicong stretched out his hands to pinch his skirt, and leaned towards him, "You are the roundworm in the emperor's stomach, don't you know?"

Yu Zhicong narrowed his eyes slightly, and let out a sneer from the tip of his nose: "I killed your only son, and even your stepson, don't you hate me?"

There was a murderous intent in Zhang Shangshu's eyes, but it disappeared in an instant: "Master Hou, the murderer has been arrested by the Ministry of Criminal Justice, what does he have to do with Master Hou?"

Shen Baiyi looked at the old fox without saying a word of truth.But yes, such a person who has been in the officialdom for many years has already hidden his emotions very well.

"I'll ask you one last time, Princess Qingping, what else do you know?" Yu Zhicong couldn't hide the anger between his brows, and the veins on his neck protruded slightly.

Zhang Shangshu hesitated.

Yu Qing covered his mouth with his hands, cut off a few strands of hair with a long sword, and whispered in his ear: "Have you heard that the head of the country has lost both ears?"

Zhang Shangshu is already old, and he still can't help being furious when he hears threats, and he no longer hides his resentment: "Yu Zhicong, you are a vicious kid, do you dream of ghosts taking your life when you stay at night?"

Shen Baiyi choked speechlessly, is your son who is too lazy to rob people's daughters to take his life?He had already been hollowed out by wine and lust.

"Even if there is, you can't see it anymore."

Zhang Shangshu was obviously so angry that he couldn't choose what to say. He pointed at Yu Zhicong and said, "How long can you be arrogant? The Empress Dowager has returned to the palace, and the Duke of Xi has expressed his attitude. You are just a scourge that deserves to die long ago. After being late for so many years, it's time for you to accompany Princess Qingping."

"Princess Qingping married into the Hou Mansion back then, and she wanted to die. The old Hou Ye sent people to watch her all day long. In the end, you were born safely. It is really a trick of luck."

The more Zhang Shangshu spoke, the more anxious he became, and the more he spoke, the more angry he became: "The emperor also seemed to have gone crazy. Before he died, he even drew up an imperial decree to pass on the throne to you! What are you!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone present except Yu Zhicong turned pale with shock.

Shen Baiyi was so nervous that her whole body became stiff, no wonder the emperor was so afraid of Yu Zhicong.

"Kill it." Yu Zhi Cong Yuguang skipped over Shen Baiyi, got up and pulled her to go outside.

There was also Zhang Shangshu's cursing voice from behind: "I am a second-rank member of the court, and you are not afraid of the emperor's investigation!"

After a while, there was no movement.

Back to Hou Mansion, I saw the moon.

Shen Baiyi asked the imperial physician to apply medicine to Yu Zhicong, but his hand was bad and bad, always wounded.

The Imperial Physician also felt that he was struggling, and was picked up from the bed in the middle of the night, he gave Shen Baiyi a few words in a daze, and then hurried away.

For a while there were only two people left in the room, and Shen Baiyi later realized that Yu Zhicong came to the side hall very naturally, just like his room.

"Prepare water and take a bath."

Shen Baiyi muttered, reluctantly calling for a servant to fetch water, she was standing at the door clutching her hair, this room is so big, how could she wash it?

But Yu Zhicong stood up and motioned for Shen Baiyi to undress him. His brows were exhausted, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Shen Baiyi took off his coat, put it on the shelf, and said, "Master Hou, I'm a little hungry. Shall I go to Sister Shuang's room for something to eat?"

Yu Zhicong didn't care much: "Whatever you want to eat, let the people in the canteen deliver it."

"I just like to eat what's in her house."

"Huh?" Yu Zhicong glanced suspiciously at her, "What's the difference?"

Shen Baiyi had the urge to strangle him to death for a moment, she said coyly: "I'll go to her room to take a bath."

Her face was slightly flushed, so pale that it was almost invisible, Yu Zhicong caught the moment and couldn't help smiling. He pointed to the screen and said, "Let Yishun bring another bathtub."

Shen Baiyi felt that she must be crazy, because Yu Zhicong was infected.

She was actually separated from Yu Zhicong by a screen, bathing in a wooden barrel for an hour.

The mist was dense, Shen Baiyi slowly buried his head in the bottom of the water, and only got out of the water when he was out of breath.

Holding a heart in her hand, she didn't have a good time playing, she hastily put on her clothes and came out of the tub.

Shen Baiyi twisted her hair, Yu Zhicong acted like a demon again: "Bring the clothes."

Shen Baiyi stomped his feet angrily if he insisted on getting something that he could reach out with his hand, but there was no servant in the room, so she had to serve it herself.

She wrapped her hair with a veil, and handed the clothes to Yu Zhicong aggressively, but no one moved after a while, Shen Baiyi turned her head: "Master Hou?"

Do you want me to wear it for you? !

Yu Zhicong stared at her in the bathtub, and said after a while: "Put down your hair."

What?Shen Baiyi took two steps back and shook her head repeatedly.

"Then give me the clothes."

Facts proved that Shen Baiyi was still too naive, Yu Zhicong held her wrist with one hand, and embraced her behind with the other.

Shen Baiyi didn't even think that she, a killer, would be plotted against by Yu Zhicong when she was beaten to death. She fell headfirst into the tub with her legs upside down.

dying!Shen Baiyi curled up in an instant, and after stepping on her feet firmly, she kicked her head out.

Just meeting Shang Yu Zhicong's eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, the handkerchief had long since disappeared, his wet hair hung on his shoulders, and his whole body was soaked.

Shen Baiyi choked up a few sips of water, patted his chest and coughed lightly, his palm-sized face was now swollen with anger, his brows were full of spring, and his pupils were cut with autumn water, he was a little less heroic than Xunri, and a little more cowardly.

Her lips were light red, the tip of her nose was slightly straight, and her eyes were slightly angry.

The drops of water on her face slowly dripped down, Yu Zhicong reached out and touched her face, squinting her eyes without blinking, and said, "If not, you will dress up like a daughter from now on."

Shen Baiyi wanted to retreat, but the tub was so big, there was no gap between the two of them.

"No, no."

A man's body is convenient for walking in the rivers and lakes. Besides, she is already suffering from the enemy now. If the emperor knows that she is a woman, it will be a big blow to the news.

The original body is well hidden in the killer organization. It is an identity that cannot be seen in the first place, so each has some small eccentricities. It is understandable that she has not been found as a daughter so far, and she has wasted a lot of effort.

The water was still warm, Yu Zhicong was naked, Shen Baiyi stared at his chest, and did not intend to move his eyes away.

Beauty hurts people, the old ancestor's words are always right, Shen Baiyi will fall on this in his life.

She lost her mind, completely unaware that Yu Zhicong was looking at her.

Shen Baiyi subconsciously licked the corners of her lips, Yu Zhicong also felt her lips were dry, and leaned forward as soon as she leaned forward, the skin of the two of them stuck together, she knew she was afraid at this moment, and hurriedly covered her chest, but it was about the same to no avail.

Yu Zhicong held the back of Shen Baiyi's head, and put his lips on it unceremoniously, Shen Baiyi lost the initiative again, no, she never thought about taking the initiative.

The breathing of the two was messy, and Shen Baiyi's hands struggled uselessly, slapping out waves of water, like cabbages being poked by a pig.

After a while, Yu Zhicong let go of his hand, Shen Baiyi didn't care about other things, jumped out of the bathtub with hands and feet, and changed the wet clothes behind the screen.

At this time, Yu Zhicong was also dressed, Shen Baiyi subconsciously avoided his eyes, and pointed to the low couch outside: "I sleep here."

It's really a personal bodyguard, and it's still the kind of bodyguard who stays with you 24 hours a day.

Shen Baiyi thought viciously, to discuss with Wang Mingsheng another day, the salary must be tripled at least.

Early the next morning, a great eunuch from the palace came with the order of the empress dowager. When Wang Mingsheng talked to Yu Zhicong, he ignored it.

Shen Baiyi asked too much, why did he come here.

Wang Mingsheng knew Yu Zhicong's temperament, so of course he didn't dare to accept the order rashly. The eunuch thought it was well prepared, he took it out and read it first, then put it away by himself, and finally said: "Master Hou, please be careful when the time comes." arrive."

Wang Mingsheng didn't dare to answer, but respectfully sent him out of the mansion.

When Shen Baiyi asked, he said: "Princess Qingping's birthday, it is said that the princess's body will be removed from the imperial mausoleum."

"what?"

Shen Baiyi was startled, and Yu Zhicong paused when he heard the words, his eyes were full of hostility.

"The father-in-law said that Princess Qingping was originally married to the Hou's mansion, so she shouldn't be buried in the imperial mausoleum in the early years. Now that the empress dowager is coming back, our Lord Hou has also reached his age. This time, he said that he would send the princess back to Yu Yu. Home."

When Wang Mingsheng was talking, he thought of his wife. If he knew about this, he would have cried several times. She has been serving the princess since she was a child.

The Yu family's ancestral tomb is outside the capital city, far away from the imperial mausoleum, if this matter gets out, what will people think of Princess Qingping and Yu Zhicong.

Shen Baiyi didn't understand what the Empress Dowager was thinking, after all, she was her own daughter, and because she was involved in right and wrong, now she came up with this kind of hurtful trick in order to suppress Yu Zhicong.

Yu Zhicong didn't say a word, but his back was a little stiff. Others said that Lord Yu killed his mother, and that's why he had never visited the grave for so many years after his death.

But Shen Baiyi knew the joints, and Yu Zhicong felt pity and fear for the princess, which eventually turned into hatred, which has become an indescribable emotion until now.

However, if the bones were to be removed from the imperial mausoleum, I am afraid that Yu Zhicong would not agree.

Before Shen Baiyi could speak, another servant rushed over: "Director Wang, Mr. Feng from the Five Cities Military Division is here."

"What is he doing?"

"Say yes..." The servant's eyes dodged, "Say he wants to arrest the murderer and bring him to justice."

Wang Mingsheng was puzzled: "Where is there any murderer in our mansion?"

Shen Baiyi did know that yesterday when the Minister of the Ministry of Officials died at home, the people in the house must have asked for help from the palace, and just now the eunuch first talked about Princess Qingping's tomb, and then sent Mr. Feng to arrest her, every step was planned. .

Yu Zhicong was full of anger, and dropped the tea set on the table: "Let him go."

The little servant was so frightened that he repeatedly said yes, Wang Mingsheng pulled Shen Baiyi out of the room, and whispered: "What's the matter?"

"Last night when we left the mansion, we went to a teahouse to listen to a story. The storyteller mentioned the secret of the palace, that is, Princess Qingping, and the life experience of our Lord Marquis."

Wang Mingsheng's heart fell to the bottom of the valley, and he pointed at Shen Baiyi: "Really?"

"Of course it's true. Lord Hou was angry, so we went to the Minister's Mansion of the Ministry of Officials."

"This...that's a second-rank officer." In the past, if anyone wanted to assassinate, they would let the guards of the mansion go before night. Even if others knew that Yu Zhicong did it, they would never directly leave a clue. different.

Wang Mingsheng clasped his hands together, and said with deep eyes: "This is tricky."

Hearing what he said, Shen Baiyi felt a little uneasy.

In the past, Yu Zhicong must have dominated alone, but now that the Empress Dowager has returned to the palace, he and the emperor tend to be evenly divided.

"Forget it, I'll go and send people away first. You stay with Lord Hou and discuss what to do with Princess Qingping's body?"

Wang Mingsheng left first, Shen Baiyi turned his head and entered the room, Yu Zhicong seemed to be writing very quietly.

But Shen Baiyi could tell that his pen was a little heavier than usual, and the pen was so strong that the rice paper was soaked with ink.

In less than a stick of incense, Yu Zhicong really threw the pen aside, perhaps feeling angry, the parrot poked its head out and immediately shrank back.

Shen Baiyi stepped forward to caress the parrot, as if casually said: "Master Hou, what do you think?"

Yu Zhicong closed his eyes, then opened them slowly, with less hostility in his eyes: "Since he is dead and buried, there is no reason to move the grave."

Shen Baiyi also nodded: "That's right, I don't know whose face the Empress Dowager hit."

Back then, it was the emperor who ordered Princess Qingping to be buried in the imperial mausoleum. It was really inappropriate to move the grave after 12 years.

"Who else could it be, of course it's me." Yu Zhicong said in a mocking tone, as if mocking.

"Master Hou, how many people do you think the emperor can use?"

Yu Zhicong raised his eyelids, seemingly unintentionally said: "He left the palace a while ago, but brought a lot of killers out, and even escaped, these people don't know where they are now."

Shen Baiyi lowered her head and tried to reduce her sense of existence, but Yu Zhicong didn't take her eyes off her: "The remaining soldiers and some courtiers don't count much at all. It's just that Duke Xi went to the battlefield to fight. There is a lot of prestige in the account."

That's right, that's why the emperor looks very confident now, and even dared to challenge Yu Zhicong.

When it is not necessary, neither side will easily tear their skins apart. Now the emperor's tactic is to break through Yu Zhicong's defense line psychologically. Shen Baiyi even speculates whether he wants to really drive him crazy.

Shen Baiyi looked at her toes, and was thinking about how to escape gracefully, before they officially started fighting.

Yu Zhicong seemed to have noticed something, and suddenly asked: "What are you thinking?"

Shen Baiyi came back to his senses: "No, no."

"So will Master Hou go to the imperial tomb?" She asked in a low voice, as if she was afraid of disturbing something.

The room was silent for a while, and there was no movement at all.

Yu Zhicong didn't know what he was looking at, and when Shen Baiyi felt that she couldn't wait for the answer, he seemed to have made up his mind: "Go."

Shen Baiyi was conflicted, she wanted Yu Zhicong to stop the emperor's mindless thing, but she didn't want him to.

If you go there, the wolf will enter the mouth of the tiger, and there will be a fight. She touched her shoulder subconsciously, and her life is more important.

Yu Zhicong watched her move, and frowned: "If you don't go, don't just think about running away."

Shen Baiyi felt that he had been stripped clean and stood in front of Yu Zhicong, he could guess everything she thought, it was too much!

"Is there really no one in your house?" He asked this out of the blue, and Shen Baiyi was taken aback for a moment.

At the beginning, she fabricated that she was an orphan, and she went to the capital to seek refuge with distant relatives.

So what is the meaning of Yu Zhicong's sudden question?It seems to be testing something, and I always feel that my scalp is numb and weird.

She thought about it again in her mind, the killer organization who was about five or six years old was picked up, and the person who picked her up died in a mission. Since then, no one in the organization seems to know her Is the body of a daughter.

Then this identity should be an orphan in Kyoto.

Shen Baiyi thought of this, and nodded immediately: "Yes, there is no one at home."

Yu Zhicong still frowned, not knowing what he was thinking.

After a while, Wang Mingsheng came in a hurry again, and he entered the room and said: "Master Feng, I have already sent Master Feng away, I'm afraid I won't get away so easily."

"When the first emperor was here, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials served in the court. He was considered an old man. If he died, the court would inevitably be in turmoil."

The Ministry of Officials is the head of the six ministries of Shangshu Province, and four divisions are set up under it to take charge of a series of affairs of the civil servants in the world, including promotion, transfer, honor, appointment and dismissal, etc...

"So what?" Yu Zhicong's tone was neither salty nor weak.

Knowing his temperament, Wang Mingsheng didn't say anything anymore, he would bear it first when the sky fell, and then come to Lord Hou when he couldn't stand it.

"My subordinate understands."

He took a step back, then remembered something, and said, "Master Hou, there is one more thing."

"Say."

"There is news from the harem that the emperor found out the truth and went to sea in private, and locked the queen in confinement. I'm afraid he won't be able to come out for a while."

Yu Zhicong was not surprised: "He is not going to dispose of his father?"

The queen was put in confinement, and those who didn't know thought it was the queen who went to sea in private. After all, the emperor didn't dare to do things too badly, for fear of backlash. After all, he had to rely on the money of the head of the country to buy people's hearts.

Wang Mingsheng nodded: "It looks like it is, but it's a pity that the head of the country is seriously injured, and I don't know if I can get up from the couch again."

"Oh, as long as there is still breath left, the emperor will not give up on him."

Wang Mingsheng only said that there were other things to do, so he withdrew again.

Shen Baiyi asked suspiciously: "Master Hou still has spies in the harem?"

Yu Zhicong also gave her the same look, is this woman so stupid?

"Of course there are, but they are all in Wang Mingsheng's hands."

Shen Baiyi: Sure enough, the family has a big career, and the two of them really have a kung fu rivalry.

She suddenly remembered something, and asked again: "The Hou Mansion has always been strictly guarded, why was it taken advantage of and the emperor's people sneaked in."

It was about Yu Tong, Yu Tong who gave her an arrow, now that his shoulder injury is still not healed, thinking about it will make his teeth itch with hatred.

"There are always fish that slip through the net. Why, who do you suspect?" Yu Zhicong narrowed his eyes slightly, exuding a dangerous aura.

Shen Baiyi shook his head, didn't I just be picked up by you, I...

But she thought about it, and there were hundreds of guards alone, as well as servants, some maidservants, and the group of Yingying and Yanyan in the backyard.

Baobuqi really has someone from the emperor, whether it's for money, or someone who inserted it early in the morning.

She didn't want to take another arrow.

"Master Hou, why don't we pull all the people in the Hou Mansion out for a walk when we are free, maybe we will really discover something new."

Shen Baiyi said it with a mysterious face, as if she could really find out someone in the next moment.

The author says:

Shen Baiyi: I'm wet.

Yu Zhicong: I lost my virginity.
