Is the emperor cremated today?

Chapter 19

On the day Fang Shuhuai arrived in Yangzhou, it was raining, and the shoulders of the two were wet.

The closer they got to Yangzhou, the more dignified Fang Shuhuai's face became. In the past three days, except for eating and resting for an hour or two, they were on their way at other times without stopping. Until now, Fang Shuhuai still refused to relax when they arrived in Yangzhou City.

Turning around the main street, he finally turned into Wutong Lane where Xu's family was located. Qin Zhan finally heaved a sigh of relief. He finally arrived. He, a martial arts practitioner, couldn't stand the hustle and bustle day and night. A little pale, but nothing else.

Fang Shuhuai got off his horse, walked up the steps in a few strides, stepped through the door, and headed straight for Lanyin Academy.

The gate of Lanyin Academy was close at hand, but Fang Shuhuai's pace became slower and slower, and gradually stopped. He glanced at the gate, turned around and walked towards Minghui Hall.

Minghui Hall had already received the news of Fang Shuhuai's return, and Qiao Zhi and Chen Fengling had already been waiting in the study.

Qiao Zhi looked at the door and said, "Chen San, we don't think we need to wait any longer, the master should go back to Lanyin Academy first."

Chen Fengling waved the folding fan in his hand, glanced at him, and said lazily: "That might be, let's wait."

Qiao Zhi smiled narrowly; "I guess the master won't leave the Lanyin Academy today."

Seeing his wretched smile, Chen Fengling snorted lightly, not wanting to talk to him, so she walked to the window and watched Fang Shuhuai striding towards the study under the pattering rain.

Chen Fengling smiled, turned to Qiao Zhi and said, "200 taels, I guess the master will come over."

As soon as Qiao Zhi was amused, he readily agreed, but after a while, his intestines turned green from regret.

When Fang Shuhuai stepped into the study room, he saw Qiao Zhi's bitter expression on his face, which made his already stern expression even more difficult to look at.

Qiao Zhi saw that Fang Shuhuai's face was not looking good, so he put away his expression, and saluted Fang Shuhuai solemnly.

Fang Shuhuai sat in the armchair, looked at the two of them, and asked, "Has something happened in the mansion recently?"

Chen Fengling and Qiao Zhi glanced at each other, Chen Fengling stepped forward and said: "There is nothing else except that Xiao Duo has left the mansion."

"What do the people who follow him say?" Fang Shuhuai asked.

"I haven't been in contact with anyone. After leaving the Xu Mansion, I went directly to the city gate. After leaving the city, I went west."

Chen Fengling raised his eyes to look at Fang Shuhuai's expression, except for some wind and frost on the road, he couldn't see anything else.

Fang Shuhuai was silent for a long time, then asked again: "Is there anything else?"

The two people who were asked looked at each other, not knowing what the master's question meant, did the master receive any other news?
The two exchanged glances, if something happened, report it quickly!
Chen Fengling had no choice but to report something that she thought was not a big deal, "A few days ago, Xu Ming had contact with his wife, and his subordinates were worried about what the lady remembered, so they transferred Xu Ming away."

When Fang Shuhuai heard this, his brows were slightly frowned, his face turned cold, a stern look flashed in his eyes, and he got up and strode out of the study.

Qiao Zhi saw Fang Shuhuai walked out of the study room with a sullen expression, and looked at Chen Fengling suspiciously, "What's wrong, master? Ma'am, nothing serious happened!"

Chen Fengling spread her hands and left the study with her hands behind her back.

Fang Shuhuai stepped into the gate of Lanyin Courtyard, and saw Yuqiu and Yuchun, two maidservants, chatting in the corridor, but Xu Miaoyin was nowhere to be seen.

He looked at the open door again, and suddenly felt a little timid, not daring to approach, so he gradually stopped.

Yuqiu looked up and saw Fang Shuhuai standing at the door, so she smiled and asked Yuchun to enter the house to report to Xu Miaoyin, and she went forward to greet her, and just after saluting, she called "Young Master" when she heard Fang Shuhuai ask: "Is she Something happened recently..."

Yuqiu was wondering why the master asked such a question, and saw Xu Miaoyin coming out to greet her, but she retreated wisely, and went into the room with Yuchun to prepare Fang Shuhuai's washing things.

Xu Miaoyin looked at him with a smile, seeing him staring blankly at her in a daze, her sparkling eyes were full of smiles, "What's the matter, I don't know my wife after a long trip."

Fang Shuhuai saw that her eyes were like autumn water, her brows and eyes were soft, and there was nothing unusual, so he relaxed and smiled too.

Xu Miaoyin saw that his face was pale, his eyes were sunken, and his clothes were already soaked by rain, so she dragged him into the house, and he obediently followed behind her.

The clean room had already prepared the bathing items, and when Xu Miaoyin came in with a change of clothes, she saw him standing motionless in front of the screen, looking at herself eagerly.

Xu Miaoyin pitied him for his hard work, so she walked over, blushed and undressed him, and when he got into the bathtub, she loosened his hair, scooped up water to wash his hair, and for a while, neither of them Talking, only heard the splash of spoon water, both of them enjoyed this long-lost warm moment.

After washing, Fang Shuhuai changed his clothes and left the room refreshed. Xu Miaoyin prepared a meal for him, and then came into the room to call him, but saw him sitting on the soft couch with wet hair in a daze.

She shook her head, went into the clean room, took out a clean cotton towel, and said with a smile, "Look at you, your hair is still wet and you haven't dried it. What if you catch a cold in a while?"

Fang Shuhuai smiled childishly, waiting for her to brush his hair without speaking.

Xu Miaoyin shook her head helplessly, and joked: "Why do I feel like I have raised a son."

As soon as she finished speaking, Fang Shuhuai grabbed her wrist, pulled her hard, and she sat sideways on his lap. Before she could react, Fang Shuhuai kissed her lips.

Fang Shu kissed Xu Miaoyin deeply and urgently. He let go of Xu Miaoyin when she was almost out of breath. He looked at her with a half-smile, and said in a hoarse voice, "Do you still look like your son?"

Xu Miaoyin blushed when she heard this, struggled to get off his lap, and wiped his hair without saying a word.

After seeing that his hair was dry, he combed his hair, and the two sat at the table to eat.

When Fang Shuhuai came back, it was just after noon, Xu Miaoyin had already eaten, and now she just ate some casually with him, most of the time she was picking up vegetables for him.

After eating, seeing that he seemed a little sleepy, he was asked to go back to the inner room to lie down.

Fang Shuhuai held her hand and said, "Madam, stay with me for a while!"

Xu Miaoyin was fine anyway, so she lay down with him for a while.

Fang Shuhuai slept on the outside, wrapped his arms around Xu Miaoyin's waist, closed his eyes, and asked softly, "Does Miaomiao miss me?"

Xu Miaoyin leaned into his arms, curled her lips slightly, and said softly: "I think about it every day."

Fang Shu held her in his arms, and now he felt more at ease in his heart. The feeling of panic along the way seemed to disappear. He rubbed the top of her hair, relaxed his body and fell asleep.

When Xu Miaoyin heard his gentle breathing, she slowly raised her head, stretched out her hand to touch his face, saw his peaceful sleeping face for an unknown amount of time, and then lay back down again.

After driving for three days and three nights in a row, Fang Shuhuaiben also relied on that breath to support him to Yangzhou. When he returned to Xu's mansion, he saw that Xu Miaoyin was fine. With this breath of relief, he fell asleep until the next morning. .

Fang Shuhuai was half asleep and half awake, and felt that his arms were empty, so he reached out to hold Xu Miaoyin in his arms, but his hands were empty, he suddenly opened his eyes and saw that one side was empty, he felt a little panicked, got up and opened the door. He opened the bed curtain and saw Xu Miaoyin sitting in front of the makeup mirror, he was relieved.

He got up and got out of bed, came behind Xu Miaoyin, leaned over and kissed her on the face, was nudged by Xu Miaoyin's blushing face, then turned around with a smile and went to the clean room.

After the couple washed up and had breakfast, they went to Minghui Hall hand in hand.

Xu Rennian, who Qiao Zhi pretended to be, was eating meat buns in his mouth, when he heard the sound of two people's footsteps coming towards the bedroom, he sat up straight, pulled over the porridge from the side, and drank the porridge slowly, just right At this time, Fang Shuhuai and Xu Miaoyin walked in.

Xu Miaoyin was holding a food box with medicine in her hand. This was the medicine she personally brewed in the morning, and it was delivered every day. Qiao Zhi was used to it.

When Xu Miaoyin took out the medicine from the food box, Qiao Zhi took the medicine and drank it naturally. After drinking it, he said lovingly: "Miaomiao has worked hard, I'll leave the preparation of the medicine to you." Come on, I'm fine, I don't need you to work so hard every day."

After Qiao Zhi finished speaking, he glanced at Fang Shuhuai's face and was relieved to see that there was no anger on his face. Seeing that he left the study room with a cold expression yesterday, he thought he would have a cold face today.

Seeing that Xu Rennian had finished drinking the medicine, Xu Miaoyin looked around and asked, "Daddy, I haven't seen Xu Ming for the past two days. Where did he go?"

Qiao Zhi laughed and said, "Seeing him for the past two days seems to be a little unwell, so let him rest for two days." He paused and asked, "Why do you want to ask him?"

Xu Miaoyin clenched her hands and said with a smile: "It's nothing, Xu Ming has always been in your heart, and the service is thoughtful, so just ask."

Fang Shuhuai said at this time: "Father, since Xu Ming has served well these days, we should also ask the doctor to show him, don't you think so?"

Does this mean that Xu Ming should come over?Qiao Zhi thought to himself.

Qiao Zhi nodded repeatedly, praising Fang Shuhuai for his kindness.

Several people chatted for a while, Fang Shuhuai said in a timely manner: "Miaomiao, father seems a little tired, let's go back and let father rest."

Xu Miaoyin saw that Xu Rennian's face was indeed a bit tired, so she got up to pay her respects, and left Minghui Hall with Fang Shuhuai.

The two walked side by side, Xu Miaoyin looked sideways at Fang Shuhuai, and said, "Husband, did your trip to Yancheng go well this time?"

Fang Shuhuai looked ahead and said in a warm voice, "It's going well. Although there are some obstacles, it's not a problem."

Xu Miaoyin said again: "Your husband has worked hard, the Xu family has a lot of property, and my father is sick. Recently, I looked at the account books, and there seems to be some problems. I can't get out to look, so I can only go and check it."

Fang Shuhuai's eyes flashed, he stopped, took her hand, and said softly: "We are a husband and wife, and the Xu family is also my home, so why bother?"

He smiled dotingly, and continued: "Besides, with Miaomiao taking care of me, I won't have to work hard."

After speaking, Fang Shuhuai took her hand and continued to Lanyin Academy.

Fang Shuhuai glanced sideways at Xu Miaoyin, and asked casually, "Have you been looking at the account book recently?"

Xu Miaoyin's hands hidden in her sleeves tightened a little, and said calmly: "I couldn't bear my father's hard work, so I asked the boy in the study to send the account book to me."

Fang Shuhuai said clearly: "Miao Miao has been with her father since she was a child, so reading the account book will not trouble you."

Xu Miaoyin didn't say anything else, she lowered her eyes to conceal the strangeness in her eyes.

Fang Shuhuai said again: "Miaomiao sees something wrong, I'll check it out tomorrow."

Xu Miaoyin looked up at him, trying to see some guilt and panic in his eyes, but only saw the openness and indifference in his eyes.

She shook her hand subconsciously again, but she didn't realize that it was the hand held by Fang Shuhuai, and replied: "I have marked all the account books I have read, and I have sent Yuchun to the study."

Fang Shuhuai glanced at the hands they were holding, and when she heard her say that again, something strange flashed in her heart, she seemed a little different today.

But she treated him as usual.

Thinking about her strangeness in my heart, I still replied in a gentle voice: "Okay, I will go to the study later, and I will look at it then, don't worry, I will deal with it."

Xu Miaoyin smiled and said nothing more.

Fang Shuhuai sent him back to Lanyin Academy, and seeing that Xu Miaoyin was fine, he confessed, then turned around and returned to Minghui Hall with confidence.

After ordering the two maidservants to go down and close the door of the inner room, Xu Miaoyin sat slumped on the soft couch, heartbroken.

She never thought that one day he would lie to herself, and she never thought that she would be so wary of him.

He refused to tell her the truth, and her temptation was like a joke.

She doesn't know how long she can hold on?Such incongruity made her feel suffocated.

She thought everything was over, but when she thought she could live with Meimei as a family, she was caught off guard to know the truth.

Xu Miaoyin coughed and held back the tears that were about to burst into her eyes. At this moment, Yuqiu knocked on the door of the inner room and asked, "Girl, what's wrong with you?"

Yuqiu was guarding the door and heard a cough coming from the inner room, so she asked worriedly.

Xu Miaoyin stabilized her mind, took a deep breath, and tried to make her voice sound normal.

"It's okay, I just choked on the water."

Xu Miaoyin wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, not letting anyone see her strangeness.

She always has to ask clearly, who is he?Why did you do this to the Xu family?
……

When Fang Shuhuai came to the study, he saw that Qiao Zhi was already waiting in the study.

After Qiao Zhi saluted, he said: "Master, there is news from Li Yang that the evidence has been obtained."

Fang Shuhuai walked to the window, looked at the lotus, and said calmly: "Okay, Li Yang can also move, you go and call Chen Fengling, I have something to tell him."

Qiao Zhi led the order out of the study.

Now that the border guards have obtained the evidence, all they have to do now is to wait for Qiu Wei. At that time, in the court, the border guards will be able to disintegrate all of Fang Zhiyuan's forces in one fell swoop.

Fang Shuhuai closed the window, turned around and sat in front of the desk.

There was a stack of account books on the desk, and Fang Shuhuai remembered Xu Miaoyin's strangeness in the corridor, so he picked up one of them and flipped through it casually.

These account books are made just in case, and there will never be any mistakes.

At this time, Chen Fengling came in and saw Fang Shuhuai flipping through the account book, so he joked, "This is what I want to do!"

Fang Shuhuai glanced at him, ignored him, picked up another account book, flipped through it and said: "The border guards have already obtained evidence, and you need to go back to Yujing to watch the matter of Qiu Wei, by the way... ..."

Fang Shuhuai looked at the account book in his hand and didn't go any further. He flipped through the account book again in disbelief. The more he turned, the colder he felt, he stood up abruptly, and strode out of the study with a cold face.

Seeing that he left the study with a gloomy face before he finished speaking, Chen Fengling was a little puzzled, seeing what made him so anxious.

He picked up the account book that Fang Shuhuai had just read, flipped through it, and suddenly screamed in his heart!
