Mingzhu suddenly felt that Zhao Shi's drunken state was quite good, at least he was quiet and noisy. She asked him to open his arms, and he did so obediently.
Mingzhu lowered her head and undressed him. The clothes were neatly placed aside. She looked at the tapestry purse unbuttoned around his waist. She was stunned for two seconds, and then put them aside together.
Zhao Shi stood quietly in front of her, the candlelight in the room shone beside him, and the reflected figure showed a bit of loneliness. His eyes were also very beautiful, both cold and passionate. His dark eyes stared straight at her face, as if he was thinking about something, as if he was trapped by some problem.
Mingzhu whispered to him: "Your Majesty, it would be better for you to drink wine from now on."
This appearance made others see it, and the pressure of the Prince's Palace disappeared.
Zhao Shi didn't seem to listen to her seriously, staring straight at her face, "Okay."
I have a good drinking capacity, but I should drink.
…
Every time Zhao Shi drank, his sleep became very shallow, and he would be awakened once or twice in the middle of the night. He woke up in a cold sweat, the alcohol had not completely dissipated, and the back of his head was dizzy.
He looked at the woman on the pillow in silence, his eyes filled with warmth and sweetness that he had even noticed.
Mingzhu likes to curl up in a ball when sleeping, with her whole face buried in the quilt, as if she feels safe in this way.
A soft, ripe peach with a face suffocated by the heat was poked lightly with a finger, and the skin was broken. Delicate, plump and fragrant.
She looked a bit pitiful as she huddled up into a ball. Her dark hair was scattered around her shoulders and neck, showing a slightly lazy look.
Zhao Shi's sleepiness had almost subsided. He put his arm around her shoulders and let her lean into his arms. He couldn't help but pull the quilt up to prevent her from falling. She was bored.
Mingzhu was unconscious and continued to sleep with her pillow on the man's arm.
Zhao Shi also closed his eyes and rested for a while.
When the sky was slightly bright, Zhao Shi got up. After getting dressed, he forgot to cover her with the quilt. He conveniently placed the curtain on the bed to block the dim light that penetrated the window and entered the room. .
He still has something important to do today.
…
The prison of Dali Temple was dark and humid. The walls were filled with cold and clammy moisture, and condensed water droplets rolled down the cracks in the walls.
Wei Chiyu had been imprisoned for almost three days, and there were still wet stains on his face, which were left after the previous prisoner was tortured.
Wei Chi was not tortured to extract a confession, and his life in the prison was very easy.
Jiang You used his grandfather's status to go up and take care of the guards guarding the prisoner, so that he could have a closer look at him.
The girl had cried several times at home and her eyes were red and swollen. She walked outside the cell with a lump in her throat and said, "Brother."
Wei Chiyu sat in the corner and looked up following the voice. There was no expression of surprise on his face, "Why are you here?"
Jiang You wiped her eyes and asked him in a panic with a red nose: "Are you okay? Did they beat you?"
Wei Chiyu stood up slowly while covering his injury. His expression was calm, as if he had never been humiliated, "I'm fine."
Seeing that her beloved had suffered such a serious crime, Jiang You couldn't help but cry. She had a weak and whimpering nature, but she felt so sorry for him.
"Senior brother, I will definitely find a way to rescue you."
"You don't have to worry about my affairs." Wei Chiyu only treated her as a sister and had no feelings for her beyond brother and sister. He said, "Go home and ask your family to withdraw from me." Let’s get married.”
Jiang You opened her eyes wide, tears hanging on her eyelashes, and slowly rolled down after a while.
Wei Chiyu looked at the tears on her cheeks and said what he had already said in his heart, "Now that I am in jail and my reputation is ruined, even if you propose to break off the engagement first, there will be no one else." What did you say?"
Jiang You wiped away her tears and shook her head: "I..."
Wei Chi plotted against her over and over again, "My situation is so good, your family should be willing to watch you and me suffer."
The Jiang family only gave birth to a girl like her. She was too late to be treated as a treasure, so she would inevitably be married to a man whose future was shaky.
Also, Wei Chiyu never gave himself the opportunity to rehabilitate himself.
He liked her, deceived her, married her, and lived a respectful life.
He has his own stubbornness and would rather stay married for the rest of his life.
"Prince..." Jiang You murmured as if he had grasped a life-saving straw.
Wei Chiyu interrupted her, "I know."
Pain If the pain is short-lived, there are some things you must say clearly.
Wei Chiyu sounded a little weak when he spoke, "Your grandfather has a way."
As long as Taifu Jiang goes to the palace to open his mouth, it will be difficult to dissolve the engagement.
Jiang You held back her tears and opened her mouth to say something. The guard had already come over to urge her, "The time has come, you should leave."
Jiang You sniffed her red nose and gave up easily: "Brother, I'll come see you in a few days."
Wei Chiyu said: "I will come again. I can only treat you as my sister forever."
He really didn't leave any fantasy to her. Jiang You was heartbroken and breathed quickly. Not long ago, she heard that the Prince's Palace had granted marriage to her senior brother, and she was filled with joy.
When the Wei family was still very poor, Jiang You fell in love with a talkative senior brother. Later, when she saw that he had passed the Jinshi examination, she was happier for him than anyone else.
Jiang You knew that your senior brother had a fiancée with whom he had a very good relationship, but that woman chose a more powerful man. Is it time for him to step out
It turned out that after all this time, he was still pretending to be someone else in his heart.
In fact, before Jiang You came secretly to him, he listened to his father and mother discussing about breaking off the engagement.
She was willing, but she had to resist her parents' wishes.
…
Dali Temple, there is only one distinguished guest here today. The prince's palace mobilized troops and people. Shaoqing thought that the prince was here to interrogate the criminals, so he hurriedly handed over the files.
The prince glanced at the palace and asked, "Where is Wei Chiyu?"
Shaoqing looked surprised and said, "He's in jail."
"Take me there."
The Shaoqing of Dali Temple had some friendship with Wei Chiyu, and the case itself had a lot to do with him. However, there was neither evidence to prove his innocence nor physical evidence to completely convict him. The two parties were in a stalemate. Had to put it aside.
The Shaoqing of Dali Temple was relieved and planned to say something nice to Wei Chiyu, "Master Wei has a clear mind, and his name on the account book still needs to be discussed."
Zhao Shi didn't have the patience to listen to what he said, so he walked straight in the direction of the prison with long strides.
The Shaoqing of Dali Temple stepped forward, faced the cold face and continued to scold him, "The prison is dark and cold. If you torture me to extract a confession, you will do it yourself."
Zhao Shi frowned, "You stay outside, no one is allowed in."
Seeing that the prince in the palace was very impatient, the young minister of Dali Temple did not dare to say more.
As soon as I entered the prison, I was greeted by a strong smell of rusty water.
"Master Wei."
Wei Chiyu slowly opened his eyes, as if he didn't notice him, "Prince's Palace."
"Master Wei, how have you been in prison for the past few days?"
"Alright."
A few simple words, but each of them contained an aggressive chill.
When Wei Chiyu sometimes controlled his emotions, he also said to Zhao Shi with a ferocious face that the hatred of his wife was shared by all.
He was tolerant for the sake of himself, but it was because of the pearl that he had so many worries.
Mingzhu didn't live a good life for a few days. She had suffered enough in her life, and he made her continue to suffer for half her life.
Saying something to vent his anger in front of Zhao Shi made him angry, and only Mingzhu was implicated.
Zhao Shi stared at him calmly and calmly for a while, "Wei Chiyu, haven't you given up yet?"
"I've given up." After a long moment of silence, Wei Chi lowered his eyebrows and said with emotion.
Zhao Shi's expression became unreadable, and the corners of his mouth curved in a way that seemed to be but not , "?"
Wei Chiyu raised his head, his eyes were red and bleeding, and the blood lines in his eye sockets were clearly visible, "She and I have no fate, I accept my fate."
He gritted his teeth, took a deep breath, and continued: "She is timid, but has a good personality. If you treat her better, she will return the favor to you sincerely."
Every time I say a word, I am trying to punish myself.
Zhao Shi didn't feel very happy after hearing this, but instead became angry. A few plain words made him look like a complete villain.
Zhao Shi was only willing to admit that he was despicable in robbing her, and he admitted the rest.
"You really care about her, and you still can't forget your old feelings for her." Zhao Shi mocked coldly.
Wei Chiyu's tense teeth overflowed with blood. He swallowed his anger and said something against his will, "She is my sister. Of course I cherish her."
Zhao Shi didn't believe what he said at all, and felt in his heart, "Taifu Jiang went to beg my father this morning to break off the engagement."
Even if Wei Chiyu is in trouble himself, he still has the scheming to scheme against others, and his city is also shallow.
Zhao Shi admired him somewhat. He spoke with a hint of threat in his heart, "Today you can use your future to force Taifu Jiang to break off the engagement. Tomorrow I can give you another gift." Appoint a marriage.”
Wei Chiyu's whole body was cold and stiff.
Zhao Shi looked at him from a high position and said with an expressionless face: "Master Wei is extremely knowledgeable and has wronged you by staying in the capital. Taifu Jiang intends to promote you. In this case, when Master Wei recovers his innocence, I went to Changzhou to report on my work and practiced for several years."
After Zhao Shi finished speaking, he strode away.
When I returned to the Prince's Mansion, the smell of blood in the prison seemed to be still sticky on my clothes, and I could smell the evil smell when I got closer.
After getting rid of the irritating person, he didn't feel very happy in his heart, so he was willing to keep it in his chest after saying it.
Zhao Shilai was caught off guard, and the maid didn't even have time to pass the message to Mingzhu in the same room.
She was sitting by the window, holding a black pill in her hand. It was a contraceptive pill she bought the last time she went out, but it has strong properties and should be taken more often.
She really couldn't find the opportunity to go to the kitchen to boil the medicine, so she could only take the pills first to stop it.
She had just finished taking the medicine when Zhao Shixi pushed the door open and entered.
Mingzhu's heart almost jumped out of her chest. She reacted very quickly and firmly held the medicine bottle in her palm and hid it in her sleeve. She stood up to greet him, her voice trembling slightly, "Your Majesty, you are back."
