Chapter 42 The Marquis wakes up
As the housekeeper of the Hou Mansion, Song Wentong led the eunuch chief all the way to the hall, greeted the maids and served him the best tea, and then hurriedly reported the matter to Sheng Yue.

Sheng Yue was shocked when he heard the news, and immediately took the two elders to the hall.

Sheng Yue walked quickly and said to Butler Song with a stern expression:

"Why did Manager Zhang suddenly come to our Marquis Mansion? What happened?"

Song Wentong didn't find out any information and answered truthfully: "Back to the Second Master, at this time, there must be a decree from the palace..."

"At this time, in the palace..."

Sheng Yue frowned. His eldest brother was currently being raised in the palace. Could there be a traitor attacking their Qinghou Mansion at this time?

or……

A frightening thought popped up uncontrollably.

Did something happen to the eldest brother in the palace?

When he thought of this, Sheng Yue unconsciously quickened his pace and soon saw Manager Zhang from the palace in the hall.

Sheng Yue was in a hurry and ignored the pleasantries, so he asked straight to the point:
"Manager Zhang, you are here in person, but what news is there from the palace?"

Looking at Sheng Yue's tense face, Manager Zhang immediately put aside his worries and said with a smile:

"Second Master, you don't have to be so worried. There is a decree for our family to come for a trip, but it's a good thing, a great good thing. Second Master will definitely be happy after hearing it."

what good?
It’s already good that the eldest brother can wake up at this time. Is there any greater good thing than this day?

Sheng Yue was confused and confused for a moment, and said:
"I'm stupid, please give me a clear explanation from Manager Zhang."

Manager Zhang said with a smile: "Let's read out the Holy Spirit's decree. After the decree is read out, the second master will naturally understand it."

"The Qingdu Marquis Mansion accepts the order!"

Upon hearing this, everyone, including Sheng Yue, all knelt down to receive the order.

Manager Zhang brightened his voice and continued:

"The Marquis of Qingdu, Sheng Lixuan, has made great contributions in killing enemies on the border and has suffered serious injuries for the country. I will give you a special reward of 500 pieces of high-quality silk and increase the number of [-] households in the fiefdom. I admire this!"

Sheng Yue was confused when he heard the decree.

Manager Zhang reminded: "What is the second master doing? Hurry up and thank me and accept the order."

Only then did he react and immediately said loudly:
"Sheng Yue of the Marquis of Qingdu accepted the order and thanked the Lord for his kindness. Long live my emperor!"

After receiving the imperial edict, everyone dared to stand up. Sheng Yue asked Manager Zhang in confusion:
"Mr. Zhang, what does this mean when the emperor rewards our palace?"

Manager Zhang smiled and said directly: "Second Master, isn't this clear? Our Marquis is blessed with great fortune. After several dangers, he managed to survive. The Marquis has improved a lot now and can even take the next step. The bed moved.”

"Really!" Sheng Yue was overjoyed when he heard that Sheng Lixuan had woken up. He was so excited that he didn't know how to place his hands and feet.

The two elders next to them also looked excited and excited: "Master Hou wakes up? Okay! That is a great event for the Hou family!"

Manager Zhang continued: "Of course, our family can still deceive you about this matter. His Majesty has told you to send someone from the Qingdu Marquis Mansion to go to the palace with our family to bring the Marquis back. "

"Your Majesty is considerate and said that it is better for the Marquis to recuperate at home than to be more free in the palace. Our Marquis has endured so much hardship, so it is time for him to enjoy the blessings at home, right?"

Sheng Yue bowed his hands in salute and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty." Manager Zhang smiled with satisfaction and said, "As long as everyone in the Marquis Mansion can always remember His Majesty's painstaking efforts, His Majesty also specially ordered to find the two most senior officials in the palace. Good imperial doctors came to the Marquis Mansion to take care of the Marquis, so that the Marquis could recover better. The second master remembered to bring the two imperial doctors back together, so don't neglect it."

Of course, Sheng Yue knew about the people who came from the palace, so he could not neglect them. He quickly assured: "Don't worry, Mr. Zhang, I still know this kind of thing in my heart. I have my own sense of discretion."

"Okay, the decree has been delivered. Then our family will go back to resume their duties. Who will go with our family to take the Marquis out of the palace?"

Sheng Yue took a step forward with an excited expression: "Manager Zhang, I will go with you right now."

"Okay, okay, second master, don't get excited, let's go now."

Outside the gate of the Imperial City Palace, the carriage of the Qingdu Marquis Mansion had been waiting here for a long time. Sheng Yue looked at his eldest brother, whom he had not seen for many days, being helped out by two imperial doctors.

The complexion on Sheng Lixuan's face has recovered a lot at this time. It is no longer as pale as before, but has some rosy color.

He was not wearing armor at this time, but was just wearing regular clothes. He still couldn't hide his heroic appearance, sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes. He looked like a thick-faced handsome guy, extraordinary in martial arts.

"Brother! You are finally awake!"

As soon as he saw Sheng Lixuan, Sheng Yue couldn't help but was so excited that he was almost speechless.

Although Sheng Lixuan was able to move on his own, his injuries had not yet healed, and it was still somewhat difficult to move for a long time. He patted Sheng Yue on the shoulder and whispered:

"Why are you panicking? You can't die from just a minor injury. If you have anything to say, we can talk about it back to the Marquis Mansion. There are many eyes and ears here, so this is not the place to talk. Let's go."

Sheng Lixuan glanced at the numerous imperial guards behind him and gave Sheng Yue a wink.

Sheng Yue understood, nodded in agreement, and helped Sheng Lixuan to the carriage together with the two imperial doctors.

With the driver's whip waving, the vehicle slowly moved towards the Qingdu Marquis' Mansion.

On the carriage, Sheng Yue looked at his elder brother nervously and asked:
"Brother, how is your injury now?"

"It's okay," Sheng Lixuan was calm. He raised his eyebrows, looked at Sheng Yue, and asked, "Is the house okay these days when I'm not here? Is the little guy naughty?"

"The treacherous parties in the court who are hostile to me must have made frequent attacks on our Marquis Mansion. You have worked hard these days."

Sheng Yue said excitedly: "Brother, why are you talking about this? Everything in the Hou Mansion was bought with your life. If you are not here, I, as my younger brother, naturally cannot hold you back."

"You don't know that in the past few days when you have been away, officials of all sizes in the court who want to curry favor with you, or officials who are hostile to the Hou Mansion, have sent many women to the Hou Mansion... saying they are celebrating your happiness... Now There are still many in the mansion..."

"Isn't this nonsense?" Sheng Lixuan frowned, "It's not like you don't know my temper. Why don't you retreat and keep them?"

Sheng Yue spread his hands and said helplessly: "Brother, you can't blame me. I'm just a martial artist. No matter how you say it to those people with pens, they always have many reasons. Besides, you were still unconscious at the time. I can't do it for you." reject……"

Sheng Lixuan nodded slightly: "That's all, wait until I get back to the house to deal with it. How is the little boy? His temper has caused you a lot of trouble, hasn't it?"

Sheng Lixuan knew his son's temper very well. Sometimes he couldn't control this little guy, let alone others.

During his absence, that little brat must have caused a lot of trouble in the whole house.

Sheng Yue said: "Brother, you don't have to worry about this. It's strange to say that. Among the women who were sent, there was one who was quite destined to the young master. She was the one who could treat the young master docilely. Here, the young master is very well-behaved."

"Huh?" Sheng Lixuan was stunned when he heard this unprecedented news, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes: "Is there such a thing?"
