"cousin!"
Gu Yue looked excited and full of affection.
Regardless of her reserve, she threw herself into Xie Shi's arms.
"I thought you wouldn't come today." Her voice was trembling with excitement.
Xie Shi hugged her tightly, "No one noticed."
Gu Yue shook her head again and again, "Don't worry, I've been careful all the way, and I promise no one will find out."
She looked at him, "Cousin, I miss you so much. Do you miss me?"
Xie Shi didn't say a word, just lowered his head and bit her lips.
The two of them were entangled with each other and rolled over on the bed.
After the matter was over, Gu Yue bathed in hot water and washed her whole body, making sure that no trace was left.
Xie Shi took the towel and wiped her body.
Youthful-looking skin that is smooth, supple, and feels great.
He raised his eyebrows and smiled, but the smile didn't reach his eyes.
He asked softly: "Is it me, or is it Zhao Erlang?"
"Cousin, what are you doing for that dead ghost? That dead ghost looks like a dog, but it's just a silver-like pewter gun head. It can't compare to Cousin's mighty majesty."
After finishing speaking, Gu Yue turned around and pressed tightly against Xie Shi's chest.
Xie Shi's heart was hot, but he forcibly suppressed the desire in his heart, and pushed her away, "No way. If you come in for too long, it will arouse the driver's suspicion."
Gu Yue bit her lip, "Cousin, when can we meet next time?"
Xie Shi raised his hand, and it was the drops of water on her cheeks, "You wait for my news, and I will make arrangements."
Gu Yue nodded heavily, and hugged him again, "Without you, I would have died under Zhao Erlang's stick. In this life, my life is yours, and you can take whatever you want. When you get married in the future, don't let me die." Forget about me, okay?"
Xie Shi put his hands on her shoulders, looking at her beautiful body.
He solemnly asked: "Will you marry me?"
Gu Yue was momentarily dazed, surprised, and in disbelief, and then shook her head again and again, "No, I can't implicate my cousin. I'm an unknown widow, you can't marry me. You should marry a well-known lady of the right family."
Xie Shi laughed at himself, "With my current family background, how can I marry a famous lady. Don't rush to make a decision on this matter. It won't be too late to reply to me after you leave Haixibo's mansion."
Gu Yue opened her mouth and asked, "Are you sincere?"
Xie Shi asked back, "Do you need me to dig out my heart and show you?"
Gu Yue smiled sweetly, shook her head and said, "I believe you. It's just that I'm not willing to leave Haixibo mansion like this. Zhao Erlang deserves to die, and Mrs. Haixibo deserves to die too."
But Xie Shi said: "Zhao Erlang's death can be said to be an accident. Mrs. Hai Xibo's death may attract suspicion. I still say that revenge does not necessarily require killing, and I don't want you to be involved in a lawsuit."
"Then what should I do? Do I just leave Haisib Mansion like this and see the harmony of the people in that room?"
Xie Shi pinched her cheek, "I'll find a solution for you, and you will be satisfied."
Gu Yue laughed, "Cousin, you are so kind."
"You wait for my news, don't act rashly, otherwise all previous efforts will be wasted."
Gu Yue nodded again and again, "Don't worry, I've been very good lately and don't cause trouble at all. I'll listen to you and do whatever you say."
"For being so good, I should reward you. It's a pity that it's too late today. We'll have one day until next time. I will definitely reward you hard then."
Hearing the word reward, Gu Yue trembled from excitement.
She was so excited that her cheeks flushed red like a boiled duck.
She couldn't help urging: "Cousin, hurry up and arrange, I can't wait."
"I can't wait any longer, you really know the taste. Just bear with me, I will arrange the next meeting as soon as possible."
Gu Yue nodded, dressed neatly, made sure that there was nothing wrong with her body, and then left the room contentedly. By the way, I bought a few pieces of cotton cloth to go back.
Bu Zhuang's Xiaoer was chatting with the coachman, and the coachman was very interested in talking, and he wanted to keep talking.
Seeing Gu Yue come out, the driver was very disappointed. Complaining in my heart, why don't I pick more for a while.
"Let's go."
Gu Yue greeted the coachman and got into the carriage.
The carriage started and staggered towards Haixibo Mansion.
The maid Putao huddled in the corner of the carriage, looking shocked and frightened.
Gu Yue acted like gouging her out, "What are you afraid of?"
"Slave, slave..."
Putao looked timid, she did not dare to speak out what was in her heart.
Gu Yue's face darkened, and she warned her, "Put away your appearance. If someone sees something wrong, I'll take your skin off."
The maid Putao hurriedly lowered her head and buried her face, not daring to show it to others.
The master and servant were silent all the way.
Back at Haisib Mansion, Gu Yue first went to greet Mrs. Haisib.
Mrs. Haisib treated her indifferently, neither caring about her nor criticizing her harshly.
Anyway, there are still a few months left, and when the one-year period expires, Gu Yue will return to the Gu residence with the dowry.
In the future, she will be someone else's daughter-in-law, and has nothing to do with Haixibo Mansion.
Gu Yue just obeyed the rules and did his duty.
As for Mrs. Haisib's attitude, she didn't care at all.
Good or bad, that's all.
With enough face, she left the upper room, returned to her small courtyard, and closed the door to live a happy life.
Putao was restless, and when he served tea, the tea splashed out.
Doing needlework, the needle pricked the hand.
The bed was made and the quilt was folded, and her knee hit the bedpost, the pain made her cry.
Gu Yue couldn't stand it any longer, waved her hand, and sent all the other servants out first.
She beckoned, calling Putao to come to her.
Snapped!
He slapped Putao hard on the face.
Grape was stunned.
Gu Yue asked her: "Have you calmed down?"
Snapped!
Another slap, still the same question, "Calm down?"
Putao cried, nodded repeatedly, knelt on the ground and kowtowed, "Young servant calm down, I dare not make mistakes again."
Gu Yue smiled softly and helped Putao up, "It's not scary to make mistakes. What's scary is making countless mistakes a day.
Aren't you telling others clearly that you have something hidden in your heart? Are you trying to kill me
If I can't survive, before I die, I will definitely skin you first, and kill all your parents, brothers and sisters by the way. You know, I can say and do. "
Putao trembled all over, frightened.
She knelt down to Gu Yue again, "Young Mistress, please forgive me. This servant realizes his mistake, so this servant must change. Please forgive me, Young Mistress."
Gu Yue raised her chin, "You are the most useful maid around me, and I never hide anything from you. Do you know what this means
It means that our masters and servants are all prosperous, and all are lost. It also means that if you leave me, there is only one dead end. Others would not want a servant girl who betrayed her master to serve her. Remember? "
Putao nodded again and again, "Your servant will remember."
"Get up when you remember. Prepare hot water, I'm going to wash up."
"The servant obeys."
Prepare hot water and grapes for Gu Yue to wash.
When she took off her clothes, she saw the marks on Gu Yue's back and was taken aback.
Gu Yue turned her head and looked at her back in the mirror.
She smiled softly, bit her lip, and said coquettishly: "He is so fierce, he doesn't know how to pity and cherish jade."
Grapes muffle the sound, no louder than a mosquito buzzing.
"Young Mistress, is this okay? If someone finds out, it will be terrible."
Gu Yue stepped into the bathtub and said softly, "As long as you don't tell, no one will know."
After being silent for a long time, Putao asked the question in his heart, "There are many ways to thank Master Biao, why does Young Mistress use this method? Isn't this putting myself in danger."
Gu Yue laughed at herself, "I hate that the rabbit can't catch the wolf. If I don't dedicate myself, how can he help me wholeheartedly."
"What will we do in the future? Do we want to maintain this relationship forever?"
"The future will be discussed in the future."
After a pause, Gu Yue laughed, "What do you think if I marry him?"
Putao breathed a sigh of relief, "It's good. I'm afraid that the master and wife will disagree."
"Follow your father at home, and obey yourself when you marry. The master and wife can't control who I marry."
"That's good. The servant can rest assured."
Gu Yue shook her head, what a silly girl.
Do you really think she will marry Xie Shi
Since Xie Mao's death, the Xie family has been in decline.
Today's Xie family doesn't have anything to ask for.
Marry Xie Shi, what can she get
Order? No.
money? nor.
What good is she going to do with a marriage that is not beneficial.
Xie Shi relied on His Highness the King of Chu, this is also a way.
It's just that the king of Chu can rely on it for a lifetime
Gu Yue was thinking wildly, the water was getting cold, so she got up from the bucket.
She lay on the bed, tossing and turning.
She had to find a way to hang on to Xie Shi all the time and let him be her pawn.
…
In the palace, Jiang Yan was also tossing and turning, unable to sleep.
A few days ago, she fought against Li Zhaoyi for the first time, and she lost by a single margin.
He was ignored by His Majesty for several days. Until today, His Majesty has not called her to sleep with her.
She got up from the bed, went to the window, and pushed it open.
The night in early winter is very cold.
The cold wind blows in.
Jiang Yan was suddenly blessed, so she simply lay down on the soft bed, facing the window, not afraid of the cold wind.
Before dawn, she caught a cold and developed a high fever without accident.
She dragged her sick body, closed the window, and returned to the cold bed, shivering.
When the maid found out that she had a fever, she had already had it for a while.
"It's not good, Madam Shuyi has a fever. Hurry up and ask the imperial physician."
"I still have to report to the imperial concubine."
The palace people split up, those who invited the imperial physician invited the imperial physician, those who reported to Concubine Xue Guifei reported to Concubine Xue.
Concubine Xue Gui heard that Jiang Yan was seriously ill and had a fever, accompanied by a cough. She was very ill. With a raised eyebrow, he said with something in his words: "I'm sick at this time, and it's almost just right. Come here, find an opportunity to spread the news of Jiang Shuyi's serious illness to His Majesty's ears."
"The servant obeys."
Jiang Yan became delirious from the fever and was half asleep and half awake.
She knew that the imperial doctor was coming, that the maid was giving her medicine, and that Concubine Xue Gui came to visit her.
But she just didn't have the slightest strength, just opening her eyes was useless.
Not to mention talking, shaking your head and the like.
She regretted a little that she shouldn't have blown the night wind for so long. Don't just die in the palace once you get sick.
If she really died, then she died unjustly.
It's like killing yourself.
She laughed at herself, wanted to laugh at herself, but couldn't.
His whole body was numb, his cheeks were stiff, and his whole body was uncomfortable.
Drowsy, I don't know what night it is.
When she regained her senses, she saw a familiar figure, the emperor, through the slits in her eyes.
His Majesty came to visit her, and she wept with joy.
Her painstaking efforts were not in vain, and His Majesty's visit to her meant that His Majesty had not given up on her. She hasn't fallen out of favor.
After confirming that her method was effective, Jiang Yan's condition quickly improved.
A few days later, she had completely recovered, only a little thinner, but she looked more and more beautiful.
Concubine Xue said with a smile: "You are a blessing in disguise. Your Majesty is very happy to know that your condition has recovered. I want you to sleep with me tonight."
Jiang Yan was very pleasantly surprised, "Is Your Majesty really summoning your ministers and concubines to sleep with you?"
"Of course it is true. You go down and get ready, and you must serve His Majesty well."
"Then, where is Li Zhaoyi?" Jiang Yan asked uncertainly.
Concubine Xue Gui smiled contemptuously, "Don't worry about Li Zhaoyi's place, just serve His Majesty well."
"The concubine understands. The concubine will go down and prepare."
…
King Ning took Liu Zhao into the palace to face the saint.
He used Liu Zhao as a talisman, and hoped that the emperor would show mercy to his subordinates for the sake of the emperor's grandson Liu Zhao.
Recently, there are many censors who have nothing to do, and they are specifically catching King Ning for impeachment.
Anyway, King Ning has always done bad things, impeaching him is tantamount to political correctness. Don't worry about things going wrong.
As a result, Liu Zhao's amulet didn't work at all.
When the Son of Heaven saw King Ning, he was out of breath.
This time he didn't move, he whipped.
He picked up the whip and beat King Ning directly.
King Ning is not an honest man. Seeing the emperor's whip coming, he ran quickly. He ran around the hall, and even ran to the edge of the dragon chair.
"Nizi, stop for me."
"Father promised not to hit the minister, and the minister stopped."
"Nizi, you dare to negotiate terms with me. I can't beat you today."
The two father and son started a new round of chasing.
Liu Zhao stood in the corner, pinching his nose, not knowing what was the fun in it.
The Son of Heaven really wanted to take care of King Ning, so he gave an order directly, and Lang Wei outside the door rushed in, and he was able to catch King Ning in three or two strokes, and beat King Ning half to death.
But the emperor didn't want to, he wanted to beat King Ning by himself, he was so tired that he was out of breath, and he didn't move with a single whip.
It's a special hobby!
Liu Zhao can only use this reason to explain the scene in front of him.
Really refreshed the three views.
The emperor was tired from running, so he stopped running.
Panting, he pointed at King Ning, "Stand still."
How could King Ning be obedient, he quietly backed away.
The emperor was furious, "Come here, catch King Ning, and I will beat him myself."
The Long Guards had long been looking forward to this moment, rushed into the hall as fast as they could, grabbed King Ning, and waited to be punished.
The emperor walked down the steps and waved his hand.
The Long Guards pressed King Ning on the bench.
The Son of Heaven brandished the whip and lashed King Ning's back, thighs, buttocks and other parts severely.
"what… "
King Ning screamed like a pig butcher, "I'm going to die, I'm going to die. Old man, be gentle."
"Unfilial son, I will beat you to death today."
As a result, the emperor only whipped six or seven whips, and he lost his strength.
The emperor refused to admit defeat, let alone admit defeat in front of others.
He threw the whip, "Unfilial son, let's do it today. Next time, I will put you in jail and reflect on yourself."
Liu Zhao helped King Ning up.
King Ning rubbed his painfully beaten back, "Old man, you are so strong at such a young age, you are almost beaten to death by you. Next time, don't put me in prison, send me directly to Guard the imperial mausoleum."
The emperor smiled angrily, "You are so beautiful. I just want to eat and drink at the imperial mausoleum, hug left and right, and be happy and unrestrained. Do you think I am stupid?"
King Ning sat down on the ground and jumped up again.
pain!
The emperor was amused.
The Son of Heaven was in a gloomy mood because of his sore, numb and trembling hands.
And because Ning Wang's funny is two points more proud.
He was still going strong.
Look, he went down with a few whips, King Ning couldn't even sit down.
If this was summer, King Ning would be beaten to pieces.
As soon as the emperor was in a good mood, he turned a blind eye to King Ning's matter, and finally let it go lightly.
The emperor warned King Ning a few more words, and then threw him out.
Liu Zhao helped King Ning out of Xingqing Palace, and asked, "Why bother?"
King Ning smiled contemptuously, "You are still too young to understand."
After a moment of silence, King Ning asked him again: "Did you see it?"
Liu Zhao nodded.
The emperor's hand trembled so badly that it was hard to ignore it.
King Ning said: "Coaxing the old man is not an easy task. But it is actually very simple to find the pulse door.
The thing the old man is most afraid of now is getting old, he refuses to accept the old, you know? The king sings and composes very well today, coax him and see how happy the old man is.
You have to learn, don't keep a straight face all day long. This king can be shameless, but as the king's son, you should be even more shameless. "
Liu Zhao asked: "Father, what do you mean, when you get old, I will use similar methods to coax you?"
King Ning jumped up angrily, "I'm not filial. You dare to fool me, I'll take your skin off."
"Before the father skins his son, the royal grandfather will skin you first."
