Chapter 9
"no"

The Queen smiled brightly.

Send the emperor away.

The queen slumped on the phoenix chair as if she had exhausted her strength, tears streaming down her face.

"It's been 16 years, and my youngest Xiu'er has also been there for 16 years, Fang Rui! The days go by so fast that I can't keep up with my breathing"

Fang Rui sighed.

"Your Majesty, please open your mind"

After more than ten years, how many tears have been shed, and the living will always continue to live.

"Yeah, keep going"

The queen murmured, hiding the deepest sinisterness in her eyes.

She wiped away her tears and turned to ask Fang Rui.

"Where did Lao Liu go after leaving the palace?"

Fang Rui whispered: "Send the two concubines back to the mansion, and he rode to Ruyifang by himself."

Ruyifang is the famous brothel and Chu Pavilion in the capital, and those who have nothing to do there can imagine what to do.

The queen covered her head.

“It's also unbelievable”

"Forget it, it's much easier to control than being ambitious"

"Your Majesty is right," Fang Rui smiled.

"Compared with the sixth prince, the second prince's scheming is much deeper. According to the opinion of the servants, we might as well support the sixth prince to be the prince."

Fang Rui has been the queen's confidant for many years, and she is outspoken about some things.

The queen obviously didn't care, and just waved her hand.

"Lao Liu is good, but the matter of his biological mother, Bai's family, is a problem. I'm afraid that one day..."

Fang Rui paused: "That's true. The emperor doesn't allow anyone to mention the matter of Bai's family, but the paper can't cover the fire after all. One day he will suddenly know if it is not complete."

The queen sighed: "Think again."

The emperor's body was about to collapse at any time, and she had to choose a satisfactory candidate for the crown prince before then.

She has nothing left, only her mother's royal family is left.

If she couldn't keep her child and her mother's family, wouldn't she spend her whole life in the palace in vain?

Ruyifang East Street

Xie Chenyu put his arms around several beautiful barmaids and got drunk.

The barmaids carefully and considerately served the rescue soup, and laughed and asked the young master why he only drank dull wine today.

Xie Chenyu pushed away the alluring woman who came up to her.

"Grandpa, this is not called drinking, I am happy."

Lifting his arm, a pure white suet white jade pendant slipped out from his chest.

"Hey, what is this?"

The waitress curiously picked it up and looked at it.

Xie Chenyu's expression changed drastically, and he opened the hand of the barmaid and snatched the jade pendant.

"Don't touch my things, be careful that I will chop off all your hands"

"Look more at Lao Tzu to dig out your eyeballs"

The barmaids didn't take it seriously at all, still laughing and cursing.

"My son is serious and ruthless"

"Are you really up to it?"

"I have served the young master for more than three years. Since I came here, I have taken care of your wine glasses, glass cups, white jade cups, sapphire pots..."

One of the maids stretched out her slender fingers and counted everything, with confidence in the corners of her eyes and brows.

Looking around the entire Ruyi Workshop, I wonder if there is no one who knows how to serve better than her.

Things like chopping hands and eyeballs are okay to scare the newcomer, but it doesn't work to scare her.

"is it?"

Xie Chenyu held that slender wrist, and gently kissed it on his lips.

"Sure enough, she is weak and boneless, as white as jade, what a pity, Miss Ruyan"

Liu Ruyan lit his forehead, and angrily handed him a cup of Western Region honey wine.

"For the sake of Grandpa's bad mood today, Ruyan doesn't care about you, let's have another drink"

Liu Ruyan never expected that this was the last time she drank alcohol in her life, and it was also the last time she saw the colorful world.

Two days later.

Liu Ruyan's body was found in the moat outside the city. According to villagers nearby, a blind woman with her arm whose eyes had been gouged out cried and ran out.

Probably because he couldn't see it, he plunged into the river and drowned after splashing a few times.

But a whore, and when he dies he dies.

Yin of the capital prefect pretended to investigate for two days and hastily closed the case, but no one brought up the matter again.

-

When Xie Chenyu heard the news in the study, he just curled his lips, and his expression didn't change.

He held the white jade pendant in front of him and stared at it with a melancholy expression like a summer evening about to rain, with dark clouds covering and weighing down.

The eunuch Zhao Hai, who had been with him for many years, did not dare to approach him.

But he vaguely remembered the jade pendant.

It seems to be the relic left by the master's biological mother, Concubine Bai, few people in the palace have seen it, even he himself is just guessing.

Xie Chenyu rubbed it carefully with his calloused fingers.

The 16-year-old boy's eyes were filled with countless complex emotions, rolling and clamoring, as if he couldn't hold back the madness.

But Xie Chenyu finally suppressed everything.

The fingertips were white, the tip of the tongue was bitten, and the eyes were red.

In the end, he put the jade pendant next to his body again, and returned to his carefree appearance.

"Zhao Hai, let Mrs. Lin come and serve you"

"Yes"

-

Biboyuanli
Lin Ximeng was enduring the pain in her head, staring at the new concubine.

"That... Sister Zhou, I really don't care where the master is going, I'm just a concubine myself"

Miss Zhou was soft and weak, so wronged that she could drip water.

"The concubine was bestowed by the queen, even if the master doesn't like it, he shouldn't neglect me for three nights. Sister Lin, what do you think I should do?"

Lin Ximeng's head hurt even more.

"Why don't you go and beg Zhao Liangdi?"

"She is the only good concubine in the mansion. She is in charge of the big and small affairs in the backyard. Occasionally, she also arranges someone to sleep with the master. Maybe I can ask her to help me?"

"Been there"

Concubine Zhou pulled the handkerchief and her cheeks turned pale.

"Zhao Liangdi said, she said..."

Halfway through the speech, he burst into tears, thinking that Zhao Liangdi had nothing good to say.

Lin Ximeng only felt a heart attack: "Then what can I do?"

"Qingqing, why don't you hurry up and change Miss Zhou for a cup of hot tea, Zijing, go get a new handkerchief."

Seeing the two maidservants leaving in a hurry, Mrs. Zhou knelt down in front of Lin Ximeng with a 'plop'.

"I suffered a lot when I was young, and I finally entered the palace to serve, and was fortunate enough to be sent to the sixth prince's mansion by my mother. I thought it would be easier, but who would have thought that the prince is surrounded by talents, so I ask my sister for help..."

Lin Ximeng: "..."

Does she look like a living Bodhisattva alive?

Concubine Zhou had the attitude of 'if you don't help me, I'll die for you'.

Just when he didn't know what to do, Zhao Hai suddenly came over and said that his master wanted her to serve him.

Lin Ximeng breathed a sigh of relief, dismissed Mrs. Zhou hastily, packed up and went to the study.

-

Xie Chenyu saw that her complexion was disturbed, but after asking, she found out that it was because of Zhou Shi.

Thinking that the woman was sent by the queen again, he suddenly teased.

"Why didn't you communicate well?"

Lin Ximeng was at a loss: "What are you communicating?"

Xie Chenyu crossed his arms and sneered, "Of course it's to deliver news to the queen mother."

"The queen mother is not simple, and the people she sends will not be simple either. If you want to come...you know what to do"

He put down his paintbrush and skillfully selected an eighty-pound black bear tendon bow from the wall.

"If I don't paint today, I want to practice my bow"

He threw a bucket of feathered arrows to Lin Ximeng neatly: "My servant shoots arrows!"

Lin Ximeng was holding the heavy quiver, thinking in her heart that she finally knew where the calluses in his hands came from at a young age.

It seems that the children of the royal family are not easy.
