boudoir

Chapter 338
When the woman heard this, the reverence and admiration in her eyes deepened, she immediately kowtowed a few times cautiously, and said: "Yanhong thank you Lord Hou for saving me! Although the threshold of the Hou Mansion is high, Yanhong only wants to enter the mansion as a servant." Maid girl, I am satisfied with my food and asylum. I also ask Lord Hou to allow Yanhong because Yanhong has nowhere to go."

Zhongyong Hou Shuxu looked at her, and then at Ji Xiaoquan, looking very embarrassed.

Ji Xiaoquan cupped his hands and said: "The young one is the shopkeeper of Wanlou, and her surname is Ji. This Yanhong girl has a pitiful background. Why don't you let her be accepted by Master Hou. Besides, I think this girl is very good at conversation, so I'm afraid she is also literate. Master Hou It would be good to take her back and keep her by my side to serve her pen and ink."

"Yes, Master Hou will agree. This girl is too pitiful."

Someone next to Ji Xiaoquan chimed in again.

Marquis Zhongyong sighed, and then said: "Since you have nowhere to go, then follow me back to the house." Then he said to Ji Xiaoquan: "Huang Shilang invited me to have dinner here, please ask shopkeeper Ji to bring this Miss Yanhong is going down to get some food."

"Follow your lord's orders!"

Ji Xiaoquan immediately surrendered and invited him in.Then she led Wuyue, who had changed her original name back, to the backyard.

Lu Muyang withdrew his body and scoffed: "This old man is really a duplicity guy! Look at the look in his eyes when he looked at this woman just now, it's almost glued to her face, why are you pretending to be reluctant? It's really embarrassing. Despicable!"

Lou Mingfang also sat down and said, "What kind of a good person can raise a granddaughter like Duan Wenhui?"

Neither of them suspected Liu Li.

Of course, it would be a hell of a thing if she could be suspected of such a thing.In the past few days when she was free, Wu Yue practiced how to behave when she met Zhongyonghou in the backyard. She was rushing to the seat of the second mistress of the palace, so it would be strange if there were any flaws.

When Wuyue practiced behind closed doors, Liuli was not idle, she just inquired about Zhongyonghou's whereabouts these days, and finally found out that Huang Shilang wanted to invite him to dinner, so she asked someone to bribe the steward of Huang's mansion, and urged him to make an appointment In Wanlou, Liuli was able to witness this scene in person.

After the meal, Liuli let Ji Xiaoquan serve the fruit again, and didn't get up until he saw Zhongyonghou take Wuyue out with his own eyes.

Duan Wenhui will unite with the Queen to directly enter the Prince's Mansion, and she will also intervene in the Hou's Mansion, which directly exposes her background.

It's June, and after all the calculations, Rui'er is already nine months pregnant, and the doctor said that she will give birth in early July, so her movements became more and more sluggish, and she walked less and less in the main courtyard.It was inconvenient for Liuli to visit her, so she sent Nanny Huang to visit her once a day, and then Nanny Sun was selected from the house servants to take care of her.

Rui'er had made friends with Nanny Sun when she was in the Xiaokua courtyard in the back garden of He Mansion, and Nanny Sun had also given birth to three children, with her around, Liuli felt relieved.

Liuli herself is five months old, and the little guy is moving more and more frequently in her stomach. She has a hunch that he is a boy, and she also hopes that he is a boy, not patriarchal, she loves both men and women, but the first one is a boy If you have a son, you can learn how to be a responsible eldest son when you lead your younger siblings in the future, and then you will be more responsible than a boy with an older sister.

As the months increase, she has gained a lot of flesh. Every meal must eat two bowls of rice, one bowl of soup, and extra meals between the two meals. Yue Gui is also surprised by her appetite, but she is also very happy . "Children will grow up well if they eat well", this is what Huang Momo often said, and she also talked about it.

With a lot of flesh on her body, Qi Yunhao has also developed a bad habit now, and loves to circle her around her and touch her double chin.But in fact, the time for such tenderness is getting less and less. After Hanxue's incident, Qi Yunhao and Lu Zhao both stepped up to investigate the people around them who had changed, and also started to find the whereabouts of Master Xu.

Liuli hopes to find Master Xu sooner, she is not sure that he will agree to cooperate with Lu Zhao, but she really wants to know if he is safe now.Even if he is unwilling to cooperate, it will be enough to let her know that he and his family are fine.

And when they stepped up their actions, the prince seemed to be planning something. The counselors of the East Palace began to move around the various mansions. The Dingbei Palace also received a few posts, but it is said that they were all blocked by the Dingbei King. up.

Liuli felt that King Dingbei was starting to take an attitude towards this now, because after he mentioned this matter to her last time, he later expressed his dissatisfaction with the queen when he asked her about family affairs.Isn't dissatisfaction with the queen the same as dissatisfaction with the East Palace? Although he did not show any support for Lu Zhao, it is also a good sign.

What Liuli wants to see most now is that King Dingbei will see all of Mei's stupid thoughts. Mei's is a cancer in the palace. Only when she is suppressed can the palace become united and harmonious.When dealing with foreign enemies, King Dingbei must stand in line with Qi Yunhao, otherwise, the split of the palace would mean the demise of the palace.

Qi Yunhao is aware of this, so there is very little direct contact with King Dingbei at the moment, but this is not enough, they must unite tightly, and work together as father and son like chasing the Hulu, and knock down the prince, so that they can get the final victory. stability.However, between them, it is Mei and Ye Wangfei who make them unable to be intimate. Only by getting rid of this knot and getting the help of Prince Dingbei and his son, Lu Zhao will be half successful.

Of course, the other half is the cabinet that King Dingbei mentioned.

Lu Zhao has the military power of Prince Dingbei and his son, and the support of the four cabinet ministers, so it is unreasonable for him not to be able to sit on the throne.

Qi Yunhao spent less time in the mansion, and the number of times Duan Wenhui showed up in front of Liuli also decreased accordingly.

Because of Qi Yunhao's cold face after coming back from the palace, Mei Shi was also reprimanded by King Dingbei for helping her deliver the colored glaze to the palace. After Yun Hao came back, as long as it was not time to turn off the lights, she would let her stay in the main courtyard.This made Linglan and Fusang, who had been serving Qi Yunhao, even more dissatisfied, and almost wrote the word "shameless" on their faces.

Liuli didn't command her, nor let her get close to her. In short, since she came here by order, she just let her stay by order.

Sometimes she really doesn't know what she is trying to do, Qi Yunhao has already treated her like this, even if she can kill Liuli in the end, and then get his man as she wished, what's the point of this life?But Liuli is not her, she can't understand the psychology of this kind of obsessed person.

It rained heavily in the evening, Liuli fell asleep on the mat, and halfway felt that someone held her hand, and opened her eyes to see that it was Qi Yunhao who had returned.She sat up and was about to get off the ground, but Qi Yunhao held her down and said, "Don't move, I have something to tell you." Then she lay down again, moved her body a little, and patted the bed for him to also lie down.

He didn't move, but held her hand tightly, frowning, and said, "I'm going to leave Beijing for a few days."

"Where are you going?" She also paused.

"We found out about your uncle Xu's whereabouts. It's in the Jiangnan area, but the prince's people are also nearby. I have to go there myself."

"Uncle Xu?" She sat up while supporting the mat, "Then when are you going?"

"Leave tomorrow night." There was some worry in his eyes, and he stroked her face with his fingers.

Tomorrow night, so suddenly.Although Qi Yunhao also had the experience of not returning all night, but that was in Beijing after all, and now he was going to the south of the Yangtze River and had to deal with the prince, not only he was worried about her, but she was also worried about him.

But she had to let him go, Master Xu was just a literati, if it really fell into the hands of the prince, there might be consequences.And this matter is crucial to what Qi Yunhao and the others are going to do, it is impossible for him not to go.

"Then, if you go out like this, will the sage agree?" she asked.Officials in Beijing can't leave Beijing without a will, and he doesn't believe that His Majesty will allow him to go out of Beijing for this reason, although it is also for the sake of His Majesty's dragon body.

"He's not allowed." Qi Yunhao shook his head, "That's why I want to lie to the outside world. I will pretend to be injured and stay in the mansion for a while. I can't show up these days, so I need you to cover it for me Yes. Lu Zhao will also come to the door, one is to deceive people, and the other is to prevent others from attacking you. If you have anything, you can ask someone to find him."

After Liuli listened for half a day, she finally came to her senses. "But what if the imperial doctor comes?"

"Lu Zhao has already greeted Imperial Physician Liu. Imperial Physician Liu belongs to Concubine Luo, so I'm not afraid of this level."

Liuli said again: "Then how long are you going?"

Qi Yunhao gently embraced her into his arms, and said: "I'll be back in six or seven days at most, no matter how long it takes, I won't worry about you."

Liuli wrapped his arms around his waist and said for a moment: "Then you go, after seven days, you must come back intact."

"Of course." He lowered his head and kissed her, with extreme lingering and reluctance.

Since it was nighttime and we were going to leave, we had to go out for a walk before we left with the news that the general was injured.Liuli and Qi Yunhao thought about it for a while, and they were no longer sleepy, so they immediately called Yuegui Haitang and Lily of the Valley Fusang in, and told them that the general would be leaving the palace for a few days, and they had to keep their mouths shut.To hide the secret that Qi Yunhao is not at the house, she alone cannot do it at all, only Laurel Begonia is not enough, and Lily of the Valley Fusang is Qi Yunhao's person, so I can rest assured.

Li Xing explained to Ye Tong and Liu Wei.Li Xing was Qi Yunhao's personal guard, he couldn't go with him to the south of the Yangtze River, otherwise he would be exposed, so another four of the guards were drawn out to follow.The remaining eight people stayed behind in Chaoqing Hall along with Li Xing.

Liuli asked someone to pack his luggage for him, and put away the knife wound medicine and so on for him.At dawn, he still went out as usual, and then spent the day peacefully in Chaoqingtang, but secretly the guards were already being dispatched.After dark, the news of the general's accidental injury came back to the mansion. Qi Yunhao, who was covered in blood, was escorted by Li Xing and others into the Chaoqing Hall. Immediately afterwards, Imperial Physician Liu came to the mansion for diagnosis and treatment, and declared that he was injured. It took at least half a month before I could get out of bed.
