Why did the emperor rebel?

Chapter 694 Everything will be fine
Outside the study room, the old butler's respectful voice was like a basin of cold water, pouring out the restlessness in Zhu Yi's heart at the moment.

As the saying goes, suffering makes people grow.

During this period of time, Zhu Yi has been forced from an "ordinary" family member into a person who takes care of the government's affairs, big and small.

What's more, now, he needs to constantly reflect on and deduce various situations, and be cautious in everything, and even the closest people dare not disclose a lot of things.

This kind of life is not easy, so during this period of time, Zhu Yi could hardly sleep day and night, his wife Hu Shi felt sorry for him, so she often boiled calming soup and brought it to him.

After taking a long breath, Zhu Yi went back to the chair and sat down, and gave orders.

"come in."

Then, the door was gently pushed open, and the old housekeeper walked in with two maids.

Looking at the calming soup that was just warm enough to drink in front of her, Zhu Yi pondered for a moment, picked it up and drank it down, and then said.

"Go back and tell Madam, I still have some things to deal with today, and it will take a while, so Madam doesn't have to wait for me."

Seeing this situation, the old butler hesitated for a rare moment, and looked at the maid beside him, so the maid who came over with the soothing soup said.

"Go back to the young master, Madam said, if the young master has something to do, just deal with it, she will wait in the room for the young master to return to the room to rest."

This surprised Zhu Yi a bit. He has a very good relationship with Mrs. Hu, and he knows the character of this lady. She has a little temper, but she has never been self-willed since the accident in Cheng Guogong's mansion. What happened today...

After hesitating for a while, Zhu Yi looked at the memorabilia in his hand, then at the empty porcelain bowl in front of him, stood up simply, and said.

"Okay, since Madam said so, it doesn't matter if we deal with these matters tomorrow."

After finishing speaking, Zhu Yi got up and left the study, walking towards the bedroom in the inner courtyard.

It should be said that it was indeed late at this time, but when Zhu Yi returned to the bedroom, Mrs. Hu was still sitting in the room waiting.

"My husband is back!"

Because it was already night, Mrs. Hu was wearing a light silk toga, and she had already removed her make-up and was waiting in the room.

Seeing Zhu Yi coming back, she greeted her and directed several maids to undress Zhu Yi.

Looking at the busy Hu family, Zhu Yi clearly felt that she was different from usual, with a look of joy in her brows and eyes.

Under the service of the maid, Zhu Yi also changed into a comfortable toga, then took Hu's hand and sat down beside the couch, and asked.

"What's the happy event for Ma'am today?"

Hearing this, Mrs. Hu seemed to feel that she was a little too excited, a blush flashed across her face, and she was a little embarrassed, said.

"Husband, I feel a little uncomfortable today, so I invited the doctor to come and see. Later, the doctor said that the concubine is... happy."

"Really?"

Zhu Yi's eyes also lit up, and she almost stood up from the couch.

Cheng Guogong's family has a strict family style. Although Zhu Yi was born in a family, she was also married to an important minister in the court, so until now, Zhu Yi has never taken concubines. In the inner courtyard, there is only Hu's official wife.

Of course, this is also the result of Hu's own efforts. In the second year of marriage, Zhu Yi's eldest son, Zhu Fu, was born. Two years later, he got another daughter.

Although it is said that she did not take concubines, in just three years, Zhu Yi has both children and children.

However, after that, in the past few years, Hu's stomach has not moved. Although there is no need to worry, but for a noble family like Cheng Guogong's mansion, it is natural that the more prosperous the offspring, the better.

Mrs. Hu was obviously very happy too, she put her hand on her lower abdomen lightly, nodded her head tenderly, and said.

"Really, the doctor said that it has been two months, and the concubine was afraid that the diagnosis was wrong, so I asked the housekeeper to invite another one back in the afternoon, and said it was a happy pulse."

"Okay, okay, God really blessed my Zhu family!"

Zhu Yi exhaled lightly, with a smile on his face, looking at his wife's gentle face, he suddenly realized that his worries just now were actually superfluous.

In the current situation, although the old father-in-law may have guessed his true position, he can also vaguely perceive what he is doing.

But so what?

Thinking about it carefully, one of the reasons why Zhu Yi was anxious and flustered just now was because she suddenly found out that her deepest secret was discovered by others, and she had doubts about herself. Yes, others will already know.

As for the second, she was worried about whether Hu Wei would do something after knowing about this matter. After all, Zhu Yi did not dare to really say that she knew enough about his father-in-law until now.

However, now that she has calmed down, Zhu Yi feels that her thoughts just now cannot stand scrutiny at all.

The first is whether others will guess his position like Hu Wei. Of course, it is impossible.

It's not that there is no smart person in the court who can match Hu Wei, but that after Zhu Yi came out of the palace that day, he only told Hu Wei about his real thoughts and situation at that time.

With the cautious character of the old father-in-law, it is unlikely that this matter will be leaked.

After thinking about this point, Zhu Yi was determined, because this point was clear, and the second point after that was easily resolved.

Seeing Mrs. Hu caressing her lower abdomen, Zhu Yi suddenly remembered what Zhu Yong said when he decided to propose marriage to the Hu family for him.

"... This daughter of the Hu family is a good match, but more importantly, you married Yueniang, so you took advantage of this great uncle, hehe, this old guy has been slipping in the court for so many years, and everyone takes him There is no way, but who would have thought that I would get such a girl when I was old."

"Yi'er, you believe in your father's eyes, this old guy, no one will cheat on your daughter..."

Thinking of this, Zhu Yi couldn't help but a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes.

Although his father was strict with him since he was a child, he also treated him very well. Now that Zhu Yi has shouldered the burden of Cheng Guogong's mansion, he can feel his father's difficulties more and more.

A long time ago, Zhu Yi had wondered why his father wanted to get close to this group of civil servants despite the fact that Duke Cheng's mansion was of noble origin, and even those minor officials of the fifth and sixth ranks, he treated each other with courtesy.

But now, when Duke Cheng's mansion has really suffered, he understands how useful the good karma and connections left by his father were.

It is no exaggeration to say that if it weren't for the favor of his father back then, the title of Duke Cheng's mansion would have been lost long ago.

"Husband, are you unhappy?"

Hu's muffled voice awakened Zhu Yi from her emotions.

He looked up, but saw Mrs. Hu pouted, looking rather dissatisfied.

Zhu Yi hurriedly shook her head, sighed, and said.

"No, how could you be unhappy? I just remembered that when I married you, my father said that you are a good candidate to be the mistress of the Duke's Mansion."

"Now we have both sons and daughters. You are pregnant now, and we will soon have a third child, but father...he can't see such a scene full of children and grandchildren..."

Feeling her husband's depression, the little emotion in Hu's heart was immediately forgotten.

Seeing her husband's rather sentimental look, Hu's heart ached for a while, after thinking about it, she stood up and hugged Zhu Yi's head, sticking it to her lower abdomen, and said softly.

"Husband, don't worry, everything will be fine..."

Through the silk robe, Zhu Yi felt the slight twitching in her ears, and seemed to be able to feel the breath of new life, gestating in it.

As a result, his heart gradually calmed down, and his eyes became gentle and firm.

Yes, everything will be fine!
