Raiders of the Duke and Duchess

Chapter 285 Miss Shen, You Are Hungry (Part [-])

The night in the imperial study room finally passed.

The watchmen knocked on their clappers and dragged their tunes and yelled through the streets and alleys, becoming the lullaby of countless people.

Ji Wuyan lay on the bed, staring at the curtain with his eyes open, but he never slept.The night is like a light veil, and the evening wind blows in through the half-opened windows, carrying a little familiar fragrance of green bamboo.

Under the window was soft and above, the man was breathing lightly and long, sleeping deeply.

The room next door has been unoccupied for a long time, and it has not been cleaned in time, so it is naturally not easy to live in.Ji Wuyan couldn't resist driving him to the inn... Xi Yu said that in order to come back as soon as possible, it is not uncommon for the master to stay awake for several nights.

In fact, it doesn't need to be said by Xi Yu, Ji Wuyan can imagine that the man's face is relaxed and content, but his eyes are black and blue.

Jiangnan secret edict follows the official path, but not Feige—the news is important, although Feige is fast, it is not safe.But even if the horses are fast, they are changing people and horses in shifts, and there is no time to stop and rest.

Ning Xiuyuan was alone, only half a day later than the news of taking the official route, so there is no need to explain the hardships involved.

Her eyes fell on the face of the person a few steps away, she just watched quietly, subconsciously, narrowing her eyes slightly... This face is really pretty.

……

It's been a long night.

When the morning sun just rose and the sky was just turning white, Li Yuqi hurriedly put on his clothes and called the servants, "What's the matter? Has anyone come back?"

Even he himself didn't remember how many times he asked this sentence last night.

But the other party still just shook his head in silence.Seeing this, Li Yuqi's eyes darkened, and his figure swayed - did the matter fail?

Although he is not a first-class expert, Li Yuqi feels that it is more than enough to deal with some ordinary guards. How can he use a sledgehammer to kill a chicken?The most important thing is that this person is handsome enough, even if someone sees his appearance, it doesn't matter... But what Li Yuqi never expected was that this person came out without even being able to escape.

"Explore again!" He ordered in a deep voice, "Let people pay attention to Ji's house. Such a big incident happened last night, even if the master keeps his mouth shut, there will be servants who will gossip! We must know whether this person has been arrested or not. Get up, have you been tortured, are you still alive... By the way, there is also that Qian Momo, who also sent someone to watch, this palace... is useful."

"Yes." The servant bowed and retreated.

In autumn in the north, the morning is always cool, but the surrounding air is extraordinarily clean.Li Yuqi leaned on the railing of the corridor, closed his eyes and took a slow breath, but before he could breathe out, the sound of footsteps from far to near quickly approached, it was Sangji.

Before Li Yuqi asked, Sangji had already summed up the thrilling disputes and reversals that happened in the imperial study room last night in one sentence, "Your Highness... the Prime Minister Zuo was grounded by His Majesty."

Li Yuqi grabbed the railing beside him, "When did it happen?"

"Last night. The eunuch personally arranged by Eunuch Zhang went to the various prefectures to spread the oral order. They left the palace quietly and entered the palace quietly. No one had time to respond, so the news was delayed. I heard that Mr. Bai, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, was also grounded. What Guo Wen'an, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, committed."

"Guo Wen'an..." Li Yuqi murmured, probably searching for such a number one person in his head, the Ministry of Industry... He frowned suddenly, "Yingzhou?!"

"Yes... 38 taels of disaster relief money was stolen. The evidence in the file has been submitted to His Majesty, and the evidence is convincing. Now it is on the way back to Beijing."

Li Yuqi stubbornly picked at the pillar, "How did you get the evidence?"

"General Ning personally presented it... Emperor Ning Xiuyuan was pushed into the flood by Guo Wen'an, and now his whereabouts are unknown, and his life and death are unknown. Duke Ning's mansion... was furious, and Guo Wen'an was probably... abolished. Not only that, Your Majesty has handed over the matter to the Ning family to investigate, Your Highness, this time..."

Li Yuqi understood what Sangji hadn't said.

This time, the Ning family will definitely go to war, using the excuse of investigating Guo Wen'an's matter, they will tear off a large piece of flesh and blood from Zuoxiang and Donggong's lineage...

"Just disappeared?" He asked again, "Not dead?"

"It's said that life and death are uncertain. But this time the third master only brought one Xi Yu. Xi Yu was sent away by Guo Wen'an that day. Third master Ning does not know martial arts. In such a rushing water, I'm afraid... he can't survive. of."

"Understood, you go down first." Li Yuqi slowly closed his eyes, let go of the railing he was holding on to, and said in a low voice after a while, "If you die... it's a good deal. Ning Xiuyuan, if you die... ...This round, I will win."

……

For Li Yuqi, this night was long enough to toss and turn unable to fall asleep.

But for Ji Wuyan, it seemed that just as he closed his eyes, he was knocked out by a scream and lost most of his soul and seven souls.

"Wow even!"

The voice was high enough that Ji Wuyan frowned as if in a dream, but before she opened her eyes, she heard Shen Luoxin exaggeratedly screaming, "Oh my god! What happened this night, you two ,you two……"

"Shut up." The other person's voice was low, followed by the rustling sound of fabric rubbing, "She's still asleep, if she makes a noise, I'll throw you out..." He also just woke up, and there was a little nasal sound in his voice, which only caught his ears. I felt a strange throbbing.

So, Ji Wuyan, who just woke up and was still in a daze, realized after a while that what she had done last night—she left a man in her room, and just kept looking at him when she saw herself sleeping. And... the most important thing is, for the first time, Shen Luoxin bumped into her.

This loud voice can roar to the gate.

After realizing this, Ji Wuyan woke up completely—should he continue to pretend to be asleep?If he opened his eyes now, he would have to face Shen Luoxin and Ning Xiuyuan at the same time... Forget it, let's sleep.

Her eyelids were not lifted, but her eyeballs were spinning wildly, her breathing was short of breath, and the roots of her ears were even more red.

Want to cover up.

Standing by the bed, Ning Xiuyuan looked at the ostrich-like Ji Wuyan, and after a while, he called out, "Xi Yu, take Miss Shen to have breakfast."

"Hey?! No, I'm not hungry..."

Standing at the door, Xi Yu respectfully made a gesture of invitation, and reminded with a smile, "No, Miss Shen. You are hungry."

Shen Luoxin's temples were twitching, she bit her back and smiled at Xi Yu, while thinking about whether to go to Chen Lao's to get some strong laxatives... What kind of master really brings what kind of subordinates... She dignifiedly The eldest lady of the family, in two lifetimes, this is the first time I know that "hungry" needs to be told by others.

She walked to the door without a smile on her face, and when she passed by, she said softly, "Xi Yu, I see that your seal has turned black, and you need to take something to relieve your bowel movements."

Xi Yu decisively took a step back, only to feel his neck go cold.
