Bai Yingyang met Meng Cuiqiao, he was in a good mood, and he was taken care of by everyone, his injury healed very quickly, and he was able to get out of bed and walk around, the weather is fine today, Han Lu, Ye Ying, and Xiong Hong accompanied him in the courtyard Stretch your muscles.

Zhang Xiuyuan and Wen Yufu came to see him, and he seemed to be indifferent to answering. They knew that he was still angry, so they expressed their condolences and left.

Bai Yingyang looked at the backs of both of them leaving, adding more resentment, and gritted his teeth: "It's really annoying that they are so close!"

Ye Ying said: "They are husband and wife..."

Bai Yingyang said angrily: "What about the husband and wife, knowing that I don't like you, they even held hands with me when they came to see me! Hmph, Axiu is married to him and has fallen in love with him since then, right?"

Ye Ying persuaded: "Miss lost her body to him, so she married. Since she is his wife, she wants to save face, and she may not love him in her heart."

Han Ju and Xiong Hong wondered, "Who did the young lady lose her life to?"

Ye Ying realized that he had made a slip of the tongue and quickly covered his mouth.

At this moment, Zhang Ehu and Meng Cuiqiao came, and Bai Yingyang saw one of them was frowning and the other was smiling, and wondered, "What happened to you?"

Meng Cuiqiao glanced at Zhang Ehu, and said with a belly laugh: "Grandma said, I'll be with you to cuckold the tiger."

The four of them were startled when they heard the words, and then they all laughed. As soon as Bai Yingyang exerted force, the wound hurt, and he laughed and said "Ouch".

In the past, Mrs. Zhang knew that her son had a bad temper and was afraid of wronging his daughter-in-law. She always blamed her son for everything and favored his daughter-in-law. Zhang Ehu was used to being scolded by his mother, and he took it for granted. , Seeing his daughter-in-law is not pleasing to the eye, she often finds fault, and Meng Cuiqiao is unwilling to accommodate everything.

This embarrasses Zhang Ehu, so far, he finally understands the difficulties of those men who are caught between their mothers and wives.

Being extremely troubled, seeing the five people still laughing happily, Zhang Ehu said angrily: "Still laughing, help me find a solution!"

Bai Yingyang smiled and said: "Don't worry, the empress won't live in Jinling forever. When she returns to Meilong County and her ears are clean, she won't pursue her any further."

Zhang Ehu said: "You are not in good health, how can your mother go back to Meilong County?"

Bai Yingyang said: "Then let her talk, anyway, Xiaoqiao'er and I are innocent." As he spoke, he put his arms around Meng Cuiqiao's waist, feeling intimate for a while.

Ye Ying knew that Meng Cuiqiao was a man, and also knew that Bai Yingyang and him were brothers, so he didn't feel it was strange, but Hanyu and Xionghong didn't know what was going on. I don't care, it's really strange.

After walking around for a while, Meng Cuiqiao let Bai Yingyang into the room to rest and change his dressing.

Just as he was taking off the cloth belt, Shui Zhi said outside the door: "Girl, Master Lian Er invites you to come over."

Meng Cuiqiao agreed, and after finishing the dressing, he ordered Hanyu to take medicine and suffer, and then left.

Seeing that Zhang Ehu was listless, Bai Yingyang knew that he was still worrying about his mother and brother, so he said, "Don't worry, your mother is not an unreasonable person. It makes you sad and sad to run away from home. Your mother loves you so much that she has resentment towards him. Now that Xiao Qiao'er is back, you should be filial to your mother. After a while, your mother's anger will pass, and she will naturally think of Xiao Qiao'er good."

Zhang Ehu said: "I hope so."

Bai Yingyang waved Ye Ying and Xionghong to go out, and said: "Tiger, I have something important to tell you."

Zhang Ehu said: "What's the matter?"

Bai Yingyang said: "This matter is very important, you must keep it in mind."

Zhang Ehu listened to what he said solemnly and did not dare to neglect.

Bai Yingyang said: "Xiao Qiao'er went to Nanchang to seek revenge on King Ning under the pseudonym Zhong Liquan. You and I know the inside story, but others don't. I'm worried that someone will frame Xiao Qiao'er."

Zhang Ehu was startled and said, "Who wants to frame Xiao Qiao'er?"

Bai Yingyang said: "Although the second brother of the emperor is bold and free, he is also easy to trust people, especially the eunuchs beside him, each of them has a ulterior motive. Liu Jin killed his father back then. Now if these eunuchs want to catch the 'Zhong Liquan' matter , make a big fuss, use this to make meritorious service, even if the second brother of the emperor believes in us, it is not beautiful."

When Zhang Ehu heard this, he immediately became cautious and said, "Then how do you say we should deal with it?"

Bai Yingyang said: "I've already made up my mind. Next time you see the second elder brother of the emperor, you must immediately tell him the whole story of Xiaoqiao'er's life, including that he and I are brothers. You must not hide anything. Are you still right?" The second elder brother of the emperor said that at the gate of the Meng Mansion that day, Xiao Qiaoer was molested by King Ning and attacked him in anger. Unintentionally discovered that King Ning is an enemy."

Zhang Ehu was surprised: "Why do you say that?"

Bai Yingyang sighed: "Prince Ning is a prince after all, Xiao Qiao'er has the intention to kill him before he rebelled, that is a serious crime, as I said, Xiao Qiao'er is not only innocent, but also meritorious."

Zhang Ehu didn't take it seriously, and thought: "Xiao Qiao'er is avenging his parents, and he didn't murder for no reason, why bother to cover it up."

Bai Yingyang frowned and said, "Do you remember clearly?"

Zhang Ehu said: "Remember clearly."

Bai Yingyang smiled and said, "Now that I have remembered, I have another thing."

Zhang Ehu said: "You say."

Bai Yingyang said: "I know that Xiao Qiao'er is my real brother, so I have already thought about it. You must not tell Xiao Qiao'er about this, otherwise it will not work."

Zhang Ehu was very curious, and said with a smile: "I won't tell, tell me quickly!"

Bai Yingyang smiled slightly, and whispered in his ear.

Zhang Ehu nodded his head while listening, but finally frowned and said: "It's not a big deal, why can't you tell Xiaoqiaoer?"

Bai Yingyang said: "He is the most meticulous person. Since he wants to live with you, he must have plans. Although you are in love with him, he married into the door after all because of cheating. I think, in his heart I must feel ashamed of you..."

Zhang Ehu stared and said, "I don't think so!"

Bai Yingyang said: "But he may not think so."

Zhang Ehu said: "This..."

Bai Yingyang said: "Once the truth is revealed, he will definitely take all the blame on himself. If I tell him about the plan, he will feel that he has wronged you and will never follow through."

Zhang Ehu felt very reasonable, nodded and said: "I will never tell him!" Then he smiled and said: "You think of him in everything, and you are very nervous about him. I didn't know you and him were brothers before, and I thought you loved him." on him."

Bai Yingyang said: "If he is not my elder brother and I really fall in love with him, what will you do?"

Zhang Ehu said: "I was very scared before, I didn't know what to do."

Bai Yingyang said: "If I say: 'Tiger, I'm in love with Xiaoqiao'er, please give him to me.' What would you do?"

Zhang Ehu said: "This...I..."

Seeing that he was at a loss, Bai Yingyang smiled and said, "Are you scared? You don't have to worry anymore. He and I are brothers. My heart for him is exactly the same as for you. You are both my brothers." .”

Zhang Ehu said happily: "Yes, yes, it's okay, it's okay..."

Bai Yingyang looked at him with a smile, and said silently in his heart: "If he is not my brother and I fall in love with him again, then I will never let you know, let alone him."

When Zhengde invited Zhang Ehu to drink again, Zhang Ehu really explained to Zhengde how King Ning intended to rebel, but he didn't follow Bai Yingyang's instructions completely, telling Meng Cuiqiao that he was originally a man, his name, origin, and his relationship with Bai Yingyang. After carefully talking with Zhengde, he still said that he had a grudge against King Ning, and that he went to Nanchang to approach King Ning for revenge.

Zhengde was dumbfounded when he heard this, and said for a long time: "Before Jiang Bin said... Zhong Liquan is loyal to King Ning, so don't be credulous. I still need to investigate carefully. Now it seems that there are many twists and turns..."

After Zhang Ehu heard these words, it was exactly as Little White Sheep had guessed. A layer of cold sweat oozes from his back, and he immediately knelt down and said, "Meng Cuiqiao has no intention of rebelling. A villain should not be a general. Don't reward him, just give him a reward." I beg the emperor to forgive Meng Cuiqiao's crime!"

Zhengde hurriedly supported him: "Brother, you are my sworn elder brother, so there is no need to perform this great gift."

Only then did Zhang Ehu stand up.

Zhengde said: "Why did Uncle Zu Wang kill the whole Meng family?"

Zhang Ehu said: "But I don't know."

Zhengde said: "Sister-in-law...Although he helped the ancestor Wangshu, it was not out of his heart, so he was not guilty. Besides, he sent Ading to report and tried to stop the ancestor Wangshu. Although he failed, he later defected to the court. Guarding Jinling together with you has made great achievements, and if the merits and demerits balance out, I will not hold him accountable. You should still be a general."

Zhang Ehu said: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Zhengde hesitated for a long time, and finally couldn't help asking: "Brother, is he... really a man? Why can't I see it at all, he is more beautiful than a woman."

Zhang Ehu said: "It's absolutely true."

Zhengde smiled and said, "Brother is so masculine."

Zhang Ehu smiled and said, "I'm not a man, I just like him."

Zhengde recalled that he was infatuated with Meng Cuiqiao in the past, and thought to himself: "If I had known that he was a man, would I still love him like a big brother... The big brother likes him because he is not because he is a man. I am also very fond of Sister Feng now. Loving, but if Sister Feng suddenly turns into a man one day, will I treat her as before? Do I love her only because Sister Feng is a woman?"

At this time, a woman's voice came faintly from a distance outside the door, and it was two maids talking in a low voice.

One of the servant girls asked, "Why can't your lady eat?"

Another servant girl said: "My mother's confinement is coming again..."

The previous servant girl smiled and said: "The empress is still young, and the emperor loves her, so why worry about it?"

When the second servant girl's voice was far away, Zhang Ehu asked: "Is the lady that the servant girl said is Sister Feng?"

Zhengde said: "Exactly."

Zhang Ehu smiled and said: "She has agreed to marry you?"

Zhengde said: "I took Sister Feng back to Beijing earlier, so I took her to meet the queen. The queen asked her to marry me immediately. At first, Sister Feng insisted on keeping her filial piety, but the queen and the ministers took turns persuading her, saying that it is okay to leave me with blood." Great work, don't worry about filial piety... After talking about it for a few days, Sister Feng is just a little girl, after hearing a lot, she felt that what they said made sense, so she agreed to get married, and she conceived a child not long after..."

Zhang Ehu laughed and said, "That's a good thing!"

Zhengde sighed: "It's a pity that the fetus is unstable and I didn't keep it." He said: "The group of ministers also said that Sister Feng's filial piety marriage may offend the heavens, so the fetus will not be saved. It's really up to them to say all the good and bad things. Alas However, the queen believed in them, and went to find a group of maids to choose for me."

Zhang Ehu smiled and said, "Isn't it good to have something to choose?"

Zhengde anxiously said: "Brother, you don't understand, can those women see? They are carefully selected, they are famous ladies, their status is so noble, their personality is so virtuous, in fact, none of them are beautiful!"

Zhang Ehu laughed and said, "Marrying a wife and asking for a lady, what's the use of being good-looking?"

Zhengde spat: "The wife you married yourself is the most beautiful in the world... Even though she is a man, you still dare to speak of me!"

Zhang Ehu had no choice but to change his words: "Isn't it good to be noble?"

Zhengde said: "What's the use of a noble status?"

Zhang Ehu smiled and said, "At least he is dignified and virtuous."

Zhengde said: "Stay there all day pretending, like a Buddha, and I have to offer sacrifices. I hate this kind of woman the most. I get annoyed when I see it! What's more, a man marries a group of women and lives under the same roof. , it’s strange to be a virtuous person.”

Zhang Ehu laughed and said, "You must be talking nonsense."

Zhengde said: "It's true, my grandfather is like this. He loves Concubine Wan Gui and gave birth to a son with her. He was supposed to inherit the throne, but unfortunately he didn't raise him. Grandpa has no other sons, and the ministers suggested him to have more concubines. The imperial concubine was jealous and killed those concubines and their children."

Zhang Ehu was surprised: "So ruthless?"

Zhengde nodded and said: "When my grandma gave birth to my father, Concubine Wan Gui wanted to harm him. Fortunately, there was a eunuch Zhang who secretly hid my father and raised him until he was six years old. Then he took him to meet Grandpa. Grandma was afraid of Concubine Wan Gui. I also wanted to harm my father, so I took my father to Renshou Palace to raise him personally, so I escaped the catastrophe." After a pause, he said, "When my father was young, he suffered a lot from the concubines competing for favor in the harem. After he became emperor, he only married my mother. There are no other concubines. I also want to imitate my father, so that no one in the harem will be jealous."

Zhang Ehu thought in his heart: "Xiaoqiao'er said that he would take concubines for me, but I don't know how many concubines he will take. If they are also fighting in my house, plotting against each other, and making the house uneasy, what should I do?" The more I thought about it, the more panicked I became. , asked: "In that case, why did you marry Sister Feng?"

Zhengde sighed: "That can't be done. The queen can't have a son, and she won't marry a concubine. Those ministers kneel outside the Meridian Gate all day long and refuse to get up. They scold me for being unfilial and sorry for my ancestors." I want to give birth to a son with Sister Feng before returning to the palace, so as to save those old things from forcing me all day long, but Sister Feng conceived a son at the first birth, but it's a pity that I didn't keep it, hey!"

Zhang Ehu patted him on the back and said: "You are very strong, don't worry."

Zhengde said: "I'm almost thirty... well, it's really annoying, don't talk about this." After thinking for a while, he said: "Brother, let me advise you, since you want to live a good life with... with him, you can't live forever. Keeping the truth from the family, one day your mother will let you have a child, and he will not be able to give birth at that time, how should you explain?"

Zhang Ehu felt the same way, and wanted to find an opportunity to confess to his family about Meng Cuiqiao, so as not to have long nights and dreams.

At this time, a Jin Yiwei came in and said: "Your Majesty, the carriage is ready."

Zhengde nodded and said, "Understood, step back."

After Jin Yiwei left, Zhang Ehu asked, "Where are you going?"

Zhengde said: "Back to the capital, the situation is urgent this time... Brother, please tell the little white sheep for me."

Zhang Ehu said: "I will tell him." Suddenly remembering that King Ning hadn't been caught yet, he asked, "By the way, is there any news about King Ning?"

Zhengde shook his head and said: "I have ordered people to draw shadows and pictures, so that local officials can arrest them at the first sight, but there is still no news." He also said: "This time I left in a hurry. Drinking wine, have a drink to your heart's content, oh... that's right, big brother, you tell little Aries, don't have a real brother, don't remember me as a sworn brother, after a few days, he will recover, and I Come and pick him up to play in the capital."

Zhang Ehu smiled and said, "He must be looking forward to it."
