cabinet first lady

Chapter 98 Are you willing to let go
Hearing voices outside, Zhang Anyi got up, glanced at Zhang Qingshi who was smacking his lips with his eyes closed, and walked out, moving very lightly, for fear of waking him up.

"Second Master, Mr. Shen sent someone to send it."

Zhang Anyi opened the letter standing under the lamp outside the house.

His arched eyebrows furrowed after reading a few lines.

In the letter, Shen Wei told what happened in Zhang's house and Ruan Muyang's proposal.There is no doubt that since he and Zhang Qingshi "disappeared", everything and every decision she did was extremely correct.Although they haven't contacted at all except for the first letter, every decision she made seemed to be discussed with him. The tacit understanding reminded him that she was seven months pregnant but had to be alone. When facing everything, there is tenderness and pity in my heart.

This kind of tacit understanding can only be found between two people who understand each other and are very close, and the subtlety and delicacy of it cannot be appreciated without being in it.

Zhang Anyi, who has been the chief minister of the cabinet for six years and has become more advanced in the ups and downs of the officialdom, began to regret his arrogance and self-confidence at the beginning.

Whether it was the time of Emperor Wu's death or the time of Emperor Ling, if the husband and wife could face it together with an open heart, a lot of troubles would be avoided, everything would be smoother, and there would be no time to separate.

Suing the imperial court is indeed an excellent method, which made Zhang Anyi appreciate Ruan Muyang in his heart.It's not that he didn't expect it, it's just that he couldn't bear to let Ruan Muyang go through this while pregnant with the child.

He looks gentle and elegant on weekdays, but in fact he is hard-hearted and ruthless, and never hesitates in doing things, but now he can't make a decision and is hesitant.

Xu is really no longer young and energetic.

Zhang Anyi stood and thought for a long time, until Zhang Qingshi's voice came from the room.

Zhang Qingshi woke up from his sleep, subconsciously went to find the nanny, called a few times and was so annoyed that no one answered.After rubbing his eyes and remembering that he was not in Chuanyun Courtyard, he held back again.

Seeing Zhang Anyi walking in, he called out childishly: "Father."

"What's the matter?" Seeing the sweat on Zhang Qingshi's forehead, he reached out to wipe him off and asked, "Are you awake?"

Zhang Qingshi nodded, his face flushed.

There is no nanny, and Ruan Muyang is not here, these days he eats and sleeps with Zhang Anyi.It's strange to say that the usual devil king was very obedient when he encountered an assassin that day. Zhang Anyi told him to keep quiet and he kept silent, and told him to close his eyes and stop looking at him, it was like a different person.

After following Zhang Anyi to this secluded small courtyard, he didn't make any noise to go back.

During the day, when Zhang Anyi had to deal with things, he would play with the guards alone in the yard.After getting along for less than a day, even the most indifferent and unsmiling guards would bend their eyes slightly when facing the young master, and even Zhang Anyi didn't get this treatment.

Of course, the nature of the devil king will not change. When Zhang Anyi is not paying attention, he will pick up his pen and scribble on the paper.Without Ruan Muyang's protection, as long as Zhang Anyi's face darkened, he would obediently admit his mistake.

Ever since Zhang Qingshi was born, the father and son hadn't been together like this all day long, they even slept together, so they got closer in a few days.

"Father, I miss my mother, and the younger sister in my mother's womb." Zhang Qingshi rubbed his eyes, and the small white and fat arm that slid down his sleeve was very cute.

The child has suffered a lot with them since before he was born.

Zhang Anyi rubbed his head, and said in a gentle voice: "We will be back home in two days, let's go to sleep." Zhang's father is always the image of a strict father, especially for boys. Only when you are alone, will you occasionally reveal your truly soft and loving side.

While speaking, Zhang Anyi had already made a decision in his mind.

The next day was near noon.

The people Zhang Anyu sent to keep an eye on Zhang Anchao discovered that someone was going to see him at night. After tracking them, they found that the person who went to see Zhang Anchao returned to Qiu Lin's house. Obviously, the people who had been in contact with Zhang Anchao were Qiu Lin's people.

After getting the news, Zhang Anyu in the Ministry of Rites told Shen Wei about the matter, and then asked Shen Wei for leave.

"Wait, I'll go with you."

Zhang House.

Zhang Anyi and Zhang Qingshi had been missing for the fifth day, and everyone felt that hope was slim, and the whole house was in a downturn.Ruan Muyang persisted in sending people to look for it, which made others feel very sad.After all, one is her husband and the other is her child.

Thinking of the peaceful appearance of the second master and second young wife of Chuanyun courtyard, as well as the young master, some servants secretly wiped their tears.

In the Cloud Piercing Courtyard.

"So it's Qiu Lin." Now Ruan Muyang knew it.

Shen Wei told Ruan Muyang about the reply he got from Zhang Anyi in the middle of the night, and gave her the letter Zhang Anyi wrote to Ruan Muyang.

"Sister-in-law, is your body -- is there really nothing wrong?" Ruan Muyang's pale face always made Shen Wei feel uneasy.

Ruan Muyang comforted her with a smile: "Don't worry, I had the doctor see it yesterday and prescribed some medicine, it's just a little weak, it's fine."

Hearing what she said, Shen Wei felt relieved, and said: "Then I will have to work hard on Mrs. Sister-in-law tomorrow. Everything will be fine after tomorrow."

Yes, after tomorrow, Guanghua will no longer have powerful relatives of the Qiu family, and the Empress Dowager Qiu will also end her six-year behind-the-scenes listening to politics tomorrow.Ruan Muyang's gaze was a little far away.

After bringing the letter and saying what should be said, Shen Wei still has a lot of things to do, so he left in a hurry, and Zhang Anyu also went back to the Ministry of Rites.

After they left, Ruan Muyang sat alone in the room and opened Zhang Anyi's letter.Looking at his handwriting, looking at his unique tone, as if she could imagine his gentle manner when speaking, she slowly raised her lips, her smile was serene and gentle, without any nervousness about going to court tomorrow.

After coming out of Zhang's mansion, Shen Wei's heart was particularly heavy.Tomorrow's affairs are related to Guanghua and the future of many people. She had to put aside her personal grievances and go to Yin Ji.

But in fact she was extremely reluctant to go.

After returning to the Ministry of Rites, Shen Wei has been absent-minded, distracted from everything he does.

In the evening, she finally made up her mind, gritted her teeth and sent someone to secretly inform Yin Ji, saying that she had something to discuss with him tonight.

After dark, with the help of the guards, Shen Wei sneaked in from the back door of the Yin Mansion with ease.Yin Ji seemed to have specially arranged for her to go all the way to Yin Ji's residence without hindrance.

Yin Ji has been waiting for her, and when he saw her appear, his frivolous eyes were stained with a smile, and he said in a romantic and handsome way, "Master Shen, I wonder if there is something that needs to be discussed so late?"

Hearing his ambiguous tone and meaning, Shen Wei frowned.Yesterday in the palace, the scene of him brazenly pushing her against the wall to kiss was still in her mind, which annoyed her who was rarely so passive.She said in a bad tone: "Of course there is business."

Yin Ji's eyes moved slightly, he didn't care about her attitude at all, and said, "In that case, please come in and talk about Master Shen."

In fact, Shen Wei didn't want to enter that room.Because it was easy for her to think of some absurd things in that place, which made her feel very uncomfortable.

Seeing her standing there with her back straight, obviously unwilling to go in, Yin Ji's frivolous eyes flashed disapproval, and he reminded: "Master Shen, although it is said that this is my residence, but I can't guarantee it." Everyone is loyal to me, if someone sees you and I having a private meeting at this time, I am afraid it will soon spread to Queen Mother Qiu."

It's obviously a meeting, so what is a "private meeting"?Where have all his books gone?How did you get the second place in the exam?
Although he was dissatisfied with his words, Shen Wei felt that what he said was not unreasonable.

Just when she was frowning, her expression was serious, and she seemed to be hesitating, Yin Ji seemed to have seen the result, stepped into the room first, then turned around and made a "please" gesture, saying: "Master Shen, Come in." His tone was frivolous, but his actions were polite.

Shen Wei pursed her lips, gave him a warning look, and stepped into the door.

At the moment she lifted her foot, Yin Ji's eyes flashed a smugness, and then watched her walk in, the gaze behind her was full of tenderness.

Hearing the sound of closing the door, Shen Wei's heart tightened subconsciously, and he turned around.

"Master Shen, why are you nervous? I'm just afraid that the wall has ears." Yin Ji smiled, went to the table and poured a cup of tea for her.

Shen Wei fixed his eyes on the teacup in his hand, and then sat down.Although she sat down, she did not relax at all, and she was full of vigilance.

Yin Ji saw it, but didn't say it.He knew that speaking out would annoy her.

He sat down opposite her, very politely.

Shen Wei's complexion improved a little, and he said, "How did you find out about the relatives of the Qiu family and the Queen Mother?"

As soon as she asked about it, Yin Ji knew that they were about to make a move.In fact, he guessed that there would be actions in the next few days, because Zhang Anyi had been missing for a long time.

"What are you going to do?" he asked.When it came to political affairs, his tone became serious.

Hearing his tone, Shen Wei knew that the evidence in his hand might be enough.

Regarding Qiu Ran's criminal evidence, Yin Ji had grasped it as early as when he went to inspect the Liangjiang and Huaihe Rivers, but he never had the right opportunity to release it.These days, the Ministry of Households has checked the accounts. On the surface, those who fell were all officials who supported Zhang Anyi.

Shen Wei lowered his voice and said: "Tomorrow morning, Mrs. Sister-in-law will go to court—"

The "sister-in-law" in her mouth can only be Ruan Muyang.

A surprised expression appeared on Yin Ji's face.This is very consistent with Shen Wei's reaction when he first heard Ruan Muyang's idea.

"Isn't she more than seven months pregnant?" Although his thoughts on Ruan Muyang have changed now, this concern is true.

The two had little interaction before, so Shen Wei never noticed Yin Ji's liking for Ruan Muyang. "Sister-in-law Madam said it's okay." She was indeed a little worried about letting a woman who was pregnant for more than seven months go to the court. Besides, when she saw Ruan Muyang these few days, she found that her complexion was not particularly good.

Then she said again: "Zhang Er also agreed."

Yin Ji, who was originally worried about Ruan Muyang, frowned when he heard the word "Zhang Er" from Shen Wei's mouth.This casual address showed that the two of them were very close, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.Thinking of looking at Shen Wei and Zhang Anyi with the attitude of a bystander in the past, he felt that Shen Wei's feelings for Zhang Anyi were very unusual, and he felt even more uncomfortable.

At this time, Yin Ji didn't remember at all that one year he used Shen Wei's attitude towards Zhang Anyi to provoke Ruan Muyang in front of Ruan Muyang.At that time, he didn't feel pain in his back when he stood and talked, and he never thought that this day would come to him.

From this moment on, Yin Ji began to lose his mind.

Shen Wei hadn't noticed his fugue, and continued: "Tomorrow is the most critical day. If there is no accident, after tomorrow, there will be no relatives as powerful as the Qiu family in the court. Tonight, you need to use the Qiu family in your hands tonight." Let’s sort out the criminal evidence of the officials of the Queen Mother’s faction. I have already gone to the Holy Majesty’s side to pass my breath in the afternoon—”

After talking for so long, seeing that Yin Ji never responded, she realized that Yin Ji had lost his mind.

She was instantly annoyed, and slammed the table down fiercely, with a loud sound, which shook Yin Ji back to his senses.

Yin Ji raised his eyebrows.Just when he was about to speak, the voice of the servant next to him came from outside the door: "My lord, Miss Yin Yue is here to bring you soup."

Hearing Yin Yue's name, Shen Wei's eyebrows frowned unconsciously, and his already cold face looked even colder.

Sensing Yin Ji's gaze, she said impatiently, "Yin Yue is here, what do you see me doing?"

"Look how jealous Master Shen is." Yin Ji smiled frivolously.

"Shut up! Talk nonsense and cut off your tongue."

Shen Wei originally thought that Yin Ji would let Yin Yue leave, but who would have thought that he would let the servant pass her in.

"What did you let her in for?" Shen Wei stood up and looked at him like a madman.There is only one exit from the house, put Yin Yue into the yard, and she will be seen as soon as she goes out.

Yin Ji made a silent gesture to her, and said: "Yin Yue is not as simple as it seems. I am afraid that I told anyone not to come to my yard, which aroused her suspicion. She came to find out the truth. Stop her It will make her more suspicious, the last night."

After tomorrow, Queen Mother Qiu will lose power, so Yin Yue naturally doesn't have to keep her.

Yin Ji is right, but where is she going to hide?
Before Shen Wei came back to his senses, Yin Ji pushed him onto the bed.Naturally, she was no match for Yin Ji's strength, and fell on the bed without struggling twice. Immediately, Yin Ji took off his shoes and got on the bed, pulling down the bed curtain.

"Turn off the lights so you can see it from the outside."

Yin Ji was outside, so he naturally asked Shen Wei who was inside to turn off the lights.

Shen did not follow suit.

No wonder she always felt that Yin Ji's bed curtain was very bright. It turned out that there was always a lamp inside.

People who often read books do have the habit of putting a lamp on the cabinet inside the bed.

Immediately, certain images flashed in Shen Wei's mind, and his brows were immediately frowned tightly.

If it is said that it is too bright inside and shadows can be seen outside, then it means that the night she was injured, even though she was pulling the bed curtain, she was seen by him outside?

Yin Ji suddenly felt a chill in his body, turned his head and met Shen Wei's eyes that wished to kill him.

"Son."

At this time, Yin Yue opened the door and came in, Shen Wei had no choice but to shut up, and pinched Yin Ji's arm fiercely.

Yin Ji was caught off guard, gasped in pain, and turned his head to look at her inexplicably.

Shen Wei stared at her fiercely.

Because Yin Yue couldn't make a sound when she came in, the two could only compete with each other through their eyes.

"My lord? Did you rest so early?" Yin Yue looked at the hanging bed curtain with doubts in her eyes.

Yin Ji still looked at Shen Wei with a hint of danger, and said in his mouth, "I'm a little tired today, so I'll take a rest. You can put the soup on the table."

Yin Yue put the soup on the table, but didn't leave immediately.She looked at the bed net again.At this time, no one could see her, her face was no longer blue and pleasant, and her big eyes were full of maturity and shrewdness that did not match her age and appearance. "What's the matter, son? Do you want me to call the doctor?"

Shen Wei sneered in his heart, and his eyes couldn't help becoming colder.Yin Ji has a lot of good fortune, not only someone brings him soup at night, but also someone cares about his body so much.

Yin Ji knew that Shen Wei had always thought of him as a flirtatious man, and also knew what she thought he had with Yin Yue.He has never cared about what other people think, but now he wants to clarify, not wanting Shen Wei to misunderstand. "No need, you step back." His voice was less frivolous than before.

Yin Yue felt the change in his tone, and asked with a bit of grievance in her tone: "Did Yin Yue do something wrong to annoy you, Young Master? This is not how Young Master talks to me on weekdays—"

Shen Wei raised his eyebrows.

If you don’t talk like this on weekdays, what is that like?She was very angry, and she couldn't tell whether she was angry with Yin Ji's attitude towards Yin Yue, or angry at herself for being shaken before.

Feeling that Shen Wei's eyes were so cold that he could freeze people, Yin Ji's eyelids twitched.Sensing that Shen Wei was about to pinch him again, he quickly grabbed her wrist.

Realizing that if this continues, not only will he not be able to clarify himself, but it will also make the person in front of him even more angry.Yin Ji can only send Yin Yue away first.

While holding Shen Wei's wrist and controlling her, he softened his voice and said to Yin Yue who was outside the account: "What nonsense are you talking about? You are so sensible, son, I like it before it's too late, why would you be annoyed, go back earlier sleep."

As soon as he said this, Shen Wei only felt as if his heart was ignited by a fire. After the fire burned, all that was left was a piece of scorched earth, with no grass growing.

She subconsciously didn't go into the cause of that desolation, because she didn't dare and was afraid.

She hid everything under her cold appearance.

Not hearing Yin Yue's footsteps outside the tent, Yin Ji became alert, holding Shen Wei's hand more and more tightly.

Shen Wei wanted to break free from his hand, so he made a silent gesture.

Seeing his expression, she immediately frowned and turned her attention to the outside of the account.

Yin Yue did not leave.She looked probingly at the bed curtain that tightly covered the bed, and approached slowly with light steps.

"My lord, I—" Before the words finished, Yin Yue stretched out her hand and opened the bed curtain,
At the same time, there was a violent movement on the bed.

Yin Yue lifted the bed curtain, and what she saw was Yin Ji's clothes were open, revealing his chest.

And beside him, there was another person on the inside of the bed.The long hair was loose, and fell on the pillow, the brocade quilt, and even Yin Ji's body. The man seemed to be hiding in Yin Ji's arms. He couldn't see his face clearly, but his round and slender shoulders were shining white. Like the shiny white porcelain, there is no doubt that it is a woman.

The two of them were obviously having fun.

Yin Yue didn't expect to see this appearance, subconsciously let out an "ah" and withdrew her hand, her face flushed.

Yin Ji hugged the beauty in his arms with one arm, and looked very comfortable in his arms. With the other hand, he lifted the bed curtain, with a hint of dissatisfaction at being disturbed and annoyance at being discovered, and said: : "Didn't I tell you to go back?"

Yin Yue still hadn't recovered from the eclectic scene just now.

At this time, Yin Ji smirked again, and asked with deep meaning: "Or do you want to come together?" After speaking, he felt his waist pinched hard by the person in his arms, and he gasped in pain in one breath.

He was already opening his clothes, as if he was doing something that made people blush and heartbeat, and with this gasp, there was a different kind of ambiguity.

Disgust flashed across Yin Yue's eyes, her face was still red, her tone was like a frightened little rabbit, and she said in a panic: "No, no. I'll take my leave first." After finishing speaking, she Quickly ran out of the house.

After hearing Yin Yue's departure, Shen Wei immediately reached out to push Yin Ji, trying to push him away.But he seemed to have been prepared for a long time, and he was not pushed away. Instead, he turned over with a chuckle and kissed her lips, as if he wanted to continue with the unfinished business.

After all, there is a huge disparity in strength between men and women, and coupled with being in a passive position, Shen Wei couldn't push him away at all.

After a long kiss, Yin Ji let go of her lips, leaned over her, looked at her with deep eyes, a frivolous and charming smile appeared on his lips.

Shen Wei was ashamed and annoyed at the same time, his watery eyes were very cold.

Both of them were short of breath.

"Don't forget that you still have a lot of things to tidy up tonight." Shen Wei stretched out his hand to push him, this time he pushed away.

Although Yin Ji endured uncomfortably, it was not partial.After that night, after eating the marrow and knowing the taste, he thought about her very much. If he really wanted her, it would definitely not end hastily.

She got out of the brocade quilt and pulled up the collar that had been pulled down from her shoulders.When things happened suddenly just now, when they noticed that Yin Yue was suspicious and wanted to lift the curtain, they almost thought of it together very tacitly.She pulled his skirt, and he pulled her neckline, and then they hugged each other and quickly lay down.

At first the atmosphere was a bit charming, after a deep kiss, Yin Ji was sure that she was also in love, but now she is acting like a businessman.Her calmness made him very dissatisfied, and he really wanted to break her calmness and reason.

"I don't know if Mr. Shen, who is calm and intelligent, ever thought about why he was so angry when Yin Yue appeared just now?"

Sure enough, the movements of Shen Wei's hands paused.

After a flash of panic, she looked at Yin Ji, and said in a cold voice: "Yin Ji, I admit that I really don't resist your touch, and I'm really not happy to see you treat Yin Yuehao, it's just because I'm a Girl, everyone will be like this. Don't forget who you and I are. Even if I am willing to leave this officialdom, it is impossible for you and me. After finally entering the cabinet and reaching the current position, are you willing to let it go like this? "
