The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 885 Set Qi?

After a while, Deyi came in from outside the hall, walked up to His Majesty Li Er, and bowed slightly to salute.

"I have seen Your Majesty."

"How is Jing'er's child now? Why haven't I seen you back to the palace all day, but what happened?" His Majesty Li Er asked.

"Returning to Your Majesty, the Marquis of Dongshan walked around Chang'an City for a long time after leaving the palace. The Marquis arrived at the Shenhou Mansion, and he never came out after entering the Shenhou Mansion." Deyi replied: "The old slave has been staying in the Shenhou Mansion until now, and Dongshanhou has never shown up."

"Didn't show up? Can you find out what's going on?" His Majesty Li Er frowned, telling him intuitively that when Xuan Shijing left the palace, he seemed to be in a bad mood.

"The old slave is stupid." Deyi responded with his head down.

After Xuan Shijing entered the Shenhou Mansion, he went to the secret room of the cell, where even Deyi could not sneak in, so after Xuan Shijing entered, Deyi kept guarding outside, until before returning to the palace, Xuan Shijing He didn't even take a step out of the secret room, so Deyi naturally didn't know what happened to Xuan Shijing now.

"Is that child angry with me?!" His Majesty Li Er slammed the tea cup in his hand on the table, making a "bang" sound.

"Your Majesty, calm down." Seeing this, Empress Changsun hurriedly comforted her: "Jing'er just got into a dead end for a while, why is Your Majesty so angry?"

"I've told him everything I should say today, and it's all for his own good. He's fine, and he's playing childish temper." His Majesty Li Er sneered: "Since you like to lock yourself in the room, let He's locked up, don't pay attention to him."

In Dongshan Hou Mansion, the people who came back from Shenhou Mansion told Wang Shi the news about Xuan Shijing's stay in Shenhou Mansion. After all the maids and servants in the house retreated, Wang Shi was relieved.

There was a knock on the door of the room.

"Who?"

"It's me, ma'am, Lord Marquis."

Wang sighed: "Don't worry, Jing'er is not young anymore, she also has her own ideas and should have her own responsibilities. No matter what happens, we just stand behind him and support him."

"Yes, then this subordinate will leave first." After Zhong Zisuo finished speaking, he left Wang's courtyard.

In Shenhou's mansion, Xuan Shijing was still in the secret room, and in the hall, Marshal Zhao was so anxious that he was about to lose the hair on his head.

"Big cousin, it's useless for you to be so anxious. You might as well go to the secret room to see what's going on with Lord Hou." Jiang Muqing said while sitting on the desk in front of Marshal Zhao, dangling her legs.

"Master Hou ordered that no one should bother him!" Marshal Zhao said loudly, "If there was no order from Master Hou, I would have gone already, okay?"

"It's already this hour, there should be someone from the kitchen to deliver the food." Jiang Muqing said: "Big cousin, why don't you pretend to be a servant in the kitchen. It should be fine, right?"

"Can you?" Marshal Zhao's eyes lit up.

At dusk, the Jin Yiwei in the secret room will withdraw to finish their day's work. In the past, there was no one in the secret room at this time, but today is different. Lord Hou is in the secret room. They will definitely not leave, so, It should be possible to go in and take a look under the pretext of delivering food.

For now, that's the only way to go.

Marshal Zhao got up and ran straight to the kitchen. Jiang Muqing hurriedly followed, saving her cousin from doing something stupid again.

When he arrived at the kitchen, Marshal Zhao picked up the food box and was about to go to the cell. When he reached the door of the kitchen, he was caught by Jiang Muqing who followed him.

"Big cousin, are you planning to go in like this?" Jiang Muqing looked Marshal Zhao from head to toe with his eyes, and changed his clothes anyway.

Marshal Zhao is a civil servant in the Shenhou Mansion, so he doesn't have to wear the official uniform of Jin Yiwei all day long, so he still wears the clothes he wore from the Zhao Mansion, and he looks like a rich man.

"What I said is that my official uniform is in the wing, so I'll change it now." Marshal Zhao stuffed the food box into Jiang Muqing's hand, and ran back to the wing.

Not long after, Marshal Zhao in official uniform appeared in front of Jiang Muqing again.

"That's about it." Jiang Muqing handed the food box to Marshal Zhao: "Don't be rash in front of Lord Hou, just play by ear, understand?"

"En." Marshal Zhao nodded, and then went to the secret room of the cell with the food box.

Entering the secret room, the first thing that catches the eye is the scene of Jin Yiwei quietly eating dinner together in the secret room, and Xuan Shijing's share was placed at the door of the room, and no one brought it in.

Marshal Zhao greeted everyone with a nod, carried the food box to Xuan Shijing's room door, and knocked lightly on the door.

"Let's put it outside." After a long time, Xuan Shijing's listless voice came from inside, which sounded very weak.

Xuan Shijing began to sleep with her head covered since entering the secret room, and naturally woke up by this time. After waking up, she has been sitting in front of the desk in a daze. The food delivery person has already knocked on the door once. Meals are served outside.

"Master Hou, this is new from the kitchen, eat it while it's hot." Marshal Zhao said standing outside the door.

"Put it outside." The voice was still weak.

Hearing this sound, Marshal Zhao couldn't bear it any longer, and directly opened the door of the room roughly, the sound he made successfully attracted Xuan Shijing's attention.

Xuan Shijing looked at Marshal Zhao outside the door of the room with a hollow and weak gaze, which made Marshal Zhao's heart tighten.

Lord Hou, what's the matter.

"Marshal, haven't you returned home yet?" Xuan Shijing's voice was neither happy nor sad, just like his eyes, empty and lifeless.

"Hou Hou Ye" Marshal Zhao couldn't help swallowing, "What's wrong with you?"

"It's nothing, I'm just thinking about something." Xuan Shijing said, pulled two books without a trace to cover the paper on the desk, and then began to flip through the books.

"If Master Hou is fine, it's better to go back to the house earlier. In the afternoon, Madam sent someone to inquire about Master Hou. If Master Hou doesn't go back again, the people in your house should be worried." Marshal Zhao couldn't find any topic to communicate with Xuan Shijing for a while, so he could only persuade Xuan Shijing to go back first, maybe Mrs. Xuan would have a solution after returning to the Hou Mansion.

"Well, I understand, don't worry about it." Xuan Shijing nodded to Marshal Zhao, and then stood up.

Maybe it was because she sat cross-legged for too long, when Xuan Shijing stood up, she knelt down on the ground, holding the corner of the desk with one hand.
