Zhao Mansion.

When Yi Huawei returned home, it was already late at night, almost three o'clock in the morning.

He walked into the house, handed the reins to Ada, and said, "Ada, take the horses to the stable and take care of both horses, then you can go and rest."

"promise!"

Ah Da responded, turned around and walked towards the stable with the horse.

Yi Huawei walked straight to the backyard and saw the light on in his room from a distance.

It’s so late, who could be in there?

Yi Huawei was confused and couldn't help but quicken his pace.

Gently lifting the door curtain and walking into the room, he saw Lu Zhi half lying on the table, seemingly immersed in a dream.

Yi Huawei paused, then subconsciously slowed down his pace and walked in slowly. In the room, the oil lamp flickered in the breeze. There was a teacup on the table. Yi Huawei reached out and touched the cup. It was already cold. He gently opened the lid of the tea, and a faint cold fragrance came to his nose.

Hunbuyi picked up the teacup and took a sip. Yi Huawei sat down at the table and quietly looked at Lu Zhi who was sleeping two feet away.

Lu Zhi had a beautiful face, a tall and slender figure, and was indeed a rare beauty. On weekdays, her makeup was always a bit fierce, but today, she only slightly drew her eyebrows and put on lipstick, and the whole person looked much softer. A few strands of hair were scattered on her cheeks, and there were red marks next to them.

I don’t know what I saw in my dream. Lu Zhi’s thick, red little mouth was slightly pursed, and her long eyebrows were tightly furrowed.

"Ok?"

Yi Huawei put the teacup on the table and stood up to wash up. Unexpectedly, his action woke up Lu Zhi.

Lu Zhi sat up straight and opened her eyes suddenly. She was confused at first, and after blinking a few times, she finally saw Yi Huawei smiling in front of her.

Lu Zhi was startled and let out a cry, and her body leaned back involuntarily.

Yi Huawei smiled slightly and stretched out his hands calmly, one hand pressing on the table and the other hand hugging Lu Zhi's slender waist.

She felt a pair of big, firm hands on her back, and the heat from the palms passed through the thin gauze to her skin. She immediately felt her face getting hot, as red as blood, and her body froze. She didn't dare to move, and her reaction was extremely immature.

Seeing Lv Zhi's shy look with her eyes closed, Yi Huawei's heart moved. He exerted a little force on his hands and lifted Lv Zhi's body, which was about to fall, back to sit on the embroidered cushion. Then, he grabbed Lv Zhi's round and delicate wrist and pulled her over. The warm and soft jade was in his arms, and a faint sweet orchid musk fragrance came to his face.

Yi Huawei was sitting, and when Lv Zhi was pulled over, she sat in his arms. Her exquisite curves rose and fell rapidly because of her owner's nervousness, right in front of Yi Huawei, firmly attracting his attention.

Lu Zhi was tall and slender, only half a head shorter than Yi Huawei. Compared with her tall figure, her body looked a little thin.

Yi Huawei opened his hands and gently wrapped his arms around Lu Zhi's waist. Lu Zhi's waist was as slender as a willow, and it was really slender enough to be held in one hand. With his hands around her waist, only a few inches of her waist were left exposed. However, Lu Zhi's figure was not as thin as a piece of firewood, but rather plump. Wherever his fingers passed, he felt a full elastic touch.

Being held by Yi Huawei around the waist, Lu Zhi twisted her body uneasily. She bit her lower lip tightly, trying her best to endure the waves of itchiness coming from her waist.

Yi Huawei's movements suddenly stopped, and Lu Zhi could feel that his hands, which were doing mischief, slowly left her waist.

"grown ups?"

Lü Zhi was very surprised, she opened her eyes, and her breath was like orchid. Her big eyes, which were clearly black and white, had a slightly hazy feeling under the light.

Yi Huawei smiled slightly: "Let's take a bath first." Then he stood up, looked at Lu Zhi, and teased: "Do you want to take a bath together?"

"Slave...slave will go prepare some water first."

Being stared at by Yi Huawei's eyes, Lu Zhi became a little timid again. She said something quickly and ran out in a hurry.

The bathroom of the Zhao Mansion was built next to the kitchen. Walking into the bathroom, bathtubs and other bathing utensils were neatly placed inside. The bathroom was several meters long and wide, and the floor and walls were carefully smeared with earthen cement, which looked clean and smooth, and a bit luxurious.

A large screen stood in the middle, and a large fir bathtub was placed behind it. A few small stools and a small table were piled in one corner, all carefully crafted from fir cut from the Qinling Mountains.

Lu Zhi came to the kitchen and started to boil water. Her face was red. She didn't know if it was because of the heat or some other reason. She looked towards the bathroom from time to time. Her hands were trembling slightly, as if she could still feel the warmth of Yi Huawei on her waist. She bit her lips gently and tried to calm herself down.

After a while, the hot water was ready.

Lu Zhi carefully poured hot water into the bathtub, added an appropriate amount of cold water, tested the water temperature with her hand, and felt it was just right. She took a deep breath, walked to Yi Huawei's room, and said softly, "Lord Zhao, the water is ready."

Yi Huawei smiled slightly, stood up, and followed Lu Zhi to the bathroom.

Lu Zhi stood aside, feeling a little uneasy, with her hands tightly clasped together, glancing at Yi Huawei from time to time and then quickly looking away.

Yi Huawei noticed her nervousness and said with a smile: "You've been tired all day, let's take a shower together."

Lu Zhi's face instantly turned redder, and she shook her head gently: "I dare not."

Yi Huawei walked forward and gently took Lu Zhi's hand: "What are you afraid of? Come on."

Lu Zhi hesitated for a moment, but finally obediently followed Yi Huawei behind the screen.

Yi Huawei began to undress, and Lu Zhi quickly turned away, not daring to look at him. Her heart was beating so hard that it seemed like it was going to jump out of her chest.

Yi Huawei stepped into the bathtub, the warm water slowly flowed up, gently wrapped around his whole body, and relieved the day's fatigue.

Taking a hot bath in this summer may feel a little hot at first, but once you get used to it, it is actually much more comfortable than taking a cold shower.

Yi Huawei leaned his head back against the edge of the bathtub, gently closed his eyes, and enjoyed this moment of tranquility.

At this moment, he could hear the sound of people taking off clothes from the other side of the screen. Then, the sound of wooden clogs was heard, and the faint scent of orchid and musk entered his nose again.

Yi Huawei opened his eyes and was immediately attracted by Lu Zhi. Lu Zhi had taken off her outer pleated skirt, leaving only a light-colored silk shirt and gauze underwear underneath. The sleeves of the silk shirt were tied with a ribbon, which made it look particularly delicate. She also took off her silk stockings and embroidered shoes, and put her white feet on a pair of wooden clogs, and walked around the screen from the outside.

Lu Zhi's tall figure was mostly due to her long, straight legs. She didn't look fashionable in a pleated skirt, but now she was only wearing a pair of gauze panties, which revealed her proud figure. Her long legs looked like they were carved from white jade under the dim light.

In the bathroom, there was only one oil lamp, the dim light flickered and gave off a soft glow. This hazy halo gave Lü Zhi a mysterious beauty. Her skin looked even more delicate and smooth under the light, like white jade. Her hair was slightly moist, sticking to her cheeks, adding a bit of charm.

Under Yi Huawei's unscrupulous gaze, Lu Zhi's movements became very stiff. She walked over slowly, took the bath towel and began to wipe her back. Somehow, her hands became weaker and weaker, her hands and feet became sore and weak, and she could not wipe anymore.

Yi Huawei stood up directly from the water, splashing water everywhere. He hugged Lu Zhi, as if he wanted to merge her into his body. He lifted up her cute little chin with one hand, lowered his head and kissed her directly.

"what!?"

Lu Zhi obviously had no experience and was not very good at dealing with it. Her blurry eyes suddenly widened in shock and her whole body shook violently. Her hands, which were originally on her shoulders, also pushed back hard. But Yi Huawei's arms were like iron and did not move at all. The strong sense of oppression made Lu Zhi's breathing become rapid. The suffocating long kiss made Lu Zhi's struggle weaker and weaker. Her hands and feet became soft and she soon collapsed. Lu Zhi tried hard to stay a little awake, but her mind was still groggy.

Lü Zhi's whole body was tense, her neck tilted back and she was trembling. Suddenly she woke up and begged:

"My Lord, don't be here!"

Her eyes were filled with pleading. Yi Huawei didn't want to act rashly, so he stepped out of the bathtub and wiped the water off his body with the towel hanging on the screen.

"Sir, don't you want to wash anymore?" Lu Zhi leaned against the wall and barely stood up with her limp legs. She looked shy and charming.

"It's already washed!"

Yi Huawei wiped the water off in a few seconds, put on an outer robe, turned around, picked her up horizontally, and walked out with big strides.

Lü Zhi's heart was filled with shyness and nervousness, and she leaned gently into Yi Huawei's arms...

………………

The night passed in a flash, and when the morning sun quietly shone into the room, Yi Huawei woke up slowly in the soft light. Lu Zhi was still tightly in his arms, sleeping soundly.

His head of black hair was scattered like dark clouds, some of it piled on the quilt, some fell on the pillow, and a few strands of hair playfully touched Yi Huawei's neck, bringing a slightly itchy feeling.

Although there were still some tear marks on Lu Zhi's cheeks, the touching smile at the corner of her mouth and the light blush on her pretty face all exuded a charming charm.

Yi Huawei carefully pulled his arm out from under Lu Zhi's body, and gently let Lu Zhi change to a more comfortable sleeping position. Then, his eyes inadvertently fell on Lu Zhi's charming body. In terms of clear skin, Lu Zhi was the best, except for Yu Shu, but it was a pity that Yu Shu was always so "shy" and would never let anyone see her.

Yi Huawei slowly covered himself with the sheet, fearing that it would wake up the sleeping Lu Zhi.

However, the slight movement of him getting up from the bed still woke Lu Zhi up.

"When is it?!"

Lu Zhi's voice was filled with deep fatigue. Her head was still groggy and her eyelids were heavy, so she couldn't open them. She struggled to stand up, and her hair fell down like a black waterfall, half covering her jade-like body. Compared to the beauty in the dim light, the beauty in front of him illuminated by the sun made Yi Huawei's heart beat faster.

Lu Zhi supported herself on the bed with both hands and tried hard to sit up, but the aching pain coming from her whole body made her fall back onto the bed weakly.

"slower!"

Yi Huawei quickly helped her sit up, and after this fall, Lu Zhi finally woke up completely. Her face began to turn red again, like a ripe apple, as she touched the man's skin behind her. She looked down at herself and screamed, feeling extremely shy, and quickly pulled the quilt over her body.

Yi Huawei leaned close to her ear and said with a sly smile, "I saw it yesterday. There's no need to block it anymore."

Being teased by Yi Huawei, Lu Zhi's face turned even redder, and the blush spread from her cheeks to her neck, all of which were filled with moving colors.

"Okay, have a good rest today."

Yi Huawei looked at Lü Zhi, who hid her head under the sheets, with only a pair of eyes showing and secretly watching him, and smiled: "I'll ask Qiu Ju to bring you food later. From now on, you can live in Qiu Shuang Pavilion. The environment there is quiet and suitable for you. As for Liu Ying, it's time for him to have his own room. You can choose one for him. I'll help him find a few teachers to teach him well in a while."

"Ah!? Thank you, sir..."

Lu Zhi poked her head out, her pretty face flushed, her eyes still a little shy: "I'll just rest for a while, don't let her come over, I can do it myself!"

Lu Zhi's voice was gentle, with a hint of stubbornness. She didn't want to trouble others, and she didn't want others to see her shy appearance.

Yi Huawei nodded gently: "Okay, then you have a good rest. If you need anything, call me at any time."

As he spoke, he stood up, gently straightened his clothes, glanced at Lu Zhi again, and then turned and left the room.

.....................

In early June, the sun was hanging high in the sky, like a blazing fireball, wantonly pouring endless heat onto the earth. The whole world seemed to be placed in a huge steamer, and the heat was unbearable.

Once upon a time, Yin Tong was full of vigor and confidence. His hair was always combed neatly, and he wore gorgeous clothes, showing an extraordinary demeanor in front of everyone. However, now his hair is messy and falls lifelessly on his shoulders. His once bright eyes have become dim and full of despair and regret.

Yin Tong and his trusted men carried heavy wooden shackles and slowly walked out of the dark and damp prison.

"boom!"

The prison door closed heavily behind him, making a dull sound.

When the two men stepped out of the prison, the bright spring light outside pierced their eyes like a sharp knife. The word "prisoner" on their faces was a constant reminder of the crimes they had committed, and it also became a symbol of shame that they would never be able to erase in their lifetime.

"Come on!"

The jailer who escorted the two men shouted loudly, his voice was cold and stern, his face was expressionless, and he waved a whip in his hand, ready to punish them at any time.

Not far away, Yin Tong’s three families of relatives - parents, wife, children, brothers and sisters, etc., were also bound by shackles and walked slowly under the escort of the jailers.

Yin Tong's father, who used to look wealthy, now has gray hair and a face full of vicissitudes. His eyes were filled with anger and despair, which was disappointment in his son. He looked at Yin Tong and shouted hoarsely, "You evil creature! How could I give birth to you! You foolish thing, because of that momentary impulse, you dragged the whole family into this abyss of no return!"

Yin Tong's mother was crying silently, looking at her son, her heart filled with pain and helplessness: "Why are you so reckless, kid? Now we are all going to be exiled to the Western Regions. I don't know how much hardship we will have to endure along the way. Have you ever thought about us, the elderly, the weak, the women and the children?"

Yin Tong's wife looked haggard, her eyes full of resentment: "Your mistake has broken up our family. How are we going to live in the future?"

Some of the children cried in fear, while others looked around blankly, not understanding why such a thing had happened. Yin Tong's brothers and sisters also looked desperate, looking at Yin Tong and blaming him:

"You've made such a fuss that we're all in trouble. What are we going to do in the hard land of the Western Regions?"

The old friends who came to see them off looked at the miserable state of Yin Tong's family with only sympathy and pity on their faces, and no one gloated over their misfortune. They knew that exile to the Western Regions was a road full of hardships, and no one could predict what would happen in the future. In the face of such a disaster, people felt more helpless about fate and sympathetic to Yin Tong's family, rather than gloating over their misfortune. Silently watching Yin Tong's family being escorted by the jailer, they prayed for them in their hearts.

Yin Tong looked at his relatives, his heart filled with guilt and regret. He knelt down with a plop, tears instantly blurring his eyes.

It was his own wrong decision that had plunged the entire family into this irreparable disaster. He wanted to say something, but found that his throat seemed to be blocked by something and he couldn't utter a word.

“Knock-knock, knock-knock, knock-knock.”

The crisp sound of horse hooves came from far away, as if with a steady and powerful rhythm, breaking the silence around. The sound came faintly at first, like drum beats from afar, and gradually became clear and audible. Every sound seemed to step on people's heartstrings, making people involuntarily look in the direction where the sound came from.

Soon, a tall and mighty black horse appeared in people's sight. The horse's fur was as black as ink, shining with a dark luster under the sunlight, like a piece of carefully polished obsidian. It took vigorous steps, each step was full of power, and its muscles kept rising and falling during the movement, showing an unparalleled explosive power.

At the gate of the prison, Yi Huawei gently pulled the reins, "Whoa~" Wuzhui stopped obediently, and its front hooves that were raised high slowly fell down with a dull sound.

Yi Huawei narrowed his eyes slightly, then swiftly dismounted from his horse. Several followers followed suit, wearing uniform clothing and looking solemn.

"I have met the Prime Minister!"

"I have met the Prime Minister!"

Seeing Yi Huawei, the Qin officials and jailers at the gate of the prison all knelt on the ground, their faces full of awe, not daring to be negligent in the slightest.

When Yin Tong and the people of the three clans saw Yi Huawei, they all knelt down tremblingly. The children looked frightened and huddled together, as if only in this way could they feel a sense of security.
