Rebirth's Charm

Chapter 80

I haven't seen him for many days, but she was smiling when he came, but she was far from the overjoyed and apprehensive look when others saw him—speaking of which, she had been like this since she first entered the palace to serve the bed, as if everything Reasonably, nothing deserves her surprise or timidity.

What does this mean?
Zhong Liye really didn't want to think deeply about this issue.As the Ninth Five-Year Master, he would never admit that he was just insignificant in the eyes of a little girl.

In the same way, Yu Shaoyun occasionally took a look at Zhong Liye, and secretly calculated how many days it had been since he returned to the palace from hunting.It is very rare to be surrounded by countless stunning women, but not someone who is obsessed with women.

After eating, Zhong Liye naturally stayed here to sleep.

Yu Shaoyun sighed secretly, tomorrow he will have to face the queen's smile with a knife hidden in his words.Fortunately, I am used to it, and I can handle it freely, otherwise, it would be a crime to attend bed once.

Zhong Liye sat on the big bed, watching the woman take a seat by the bed after taking a bath, he stretched out his hand, playing with the thick and straight long hair, and his figure followed behind her.

"There is one thing that I haven't asked you yet—why are you different after entering the palace?"

"After entering the palace, the courtiers and concubines are the emperor's people, and they dare not act recklessly." Yu Shaoyun is now able to make any false statements against his will.

"The words are pleasant, but you may not be able to take them seriously." Zhong Liye said slowly, one hand reached her chest, pulled off the tie of the clothes, then pushed her long hair to the left shoulder, pinched the collar, and slowly fade away.

Yu Shaoyun closed his eyes and sat there quietly without moving his body.

It was not until tonight that Zhong Liye discovered that there was a scar on her right shoulder. Against the backdrop of her white skin like jade, it was very glaring. He slid his fingertips across the scar and asked, "How did you get it?"

"I practiced martial arts as a child, and got injured accidentally."

"Does it hurt?"

"When you were injured?..." Yu Shaoyun couldn't finish his sentence—his lips fell on her scar and kissed her delicately.

She raised her face unconsciously, and stared blankly at the red gauze curtain that was close at hand. The lights outside seemed extraordinarily warm and meandering.

But she couldn't feel the warmth, at least, the man who held her in his arms couldn't make him feel warm.The more times she faced him, the more times Cheng Huan met, the more she couldn't understand this young and handsome emperor, a man who was too deep and wise. In fact, she was walking on eggshells every day, and worried about unintentional mistakes every day. Judging has become a fault and a taboo in his eyes.The most terrible thing is that he will not warn in time, he will only wait for the time to liquidate all your mistakes decisively.

And she can't make mistakes, she doesn't expect to add luster to the Hou Mansion by herself, she is only worried that she will become a burden to the Hou Mansion.

This point, only she herself knows, others have no way of knowing.

Suddenly, she turned her eyes and was hugged by Zhong Liye on the bed, facing his face very clearly.

Zhong Liye kissed the beauty spot on the center of her brow, and then, his lips fell on the spot where the pear dimple appeared when she smiled.

"My woman, I'm not worried that she has someone else in her heart, what I'm worried about is—" His fingers slid across the location of her heart, "She doesn't want to put any man here."

"Your Majesty..." Yu Shaoyun wanted to defend himself, but he sealed his lips with a kiss.

She has slept with her many times, but he has never kissed her.

She was already his woman, but she never knew the feeling of kissing.

Sensing her innocence, her bewilderment, and her surprise, Zhong Liye patiently guided her, the feeling of lips and teeth meeting and tongue trembling made his heart burn.

Zhong Liye held up her face and let her look at him, with a childish smile, "Even if you can't put me first in your heart, your body should remember and be familiar with me."

Yu Shaoyun snorted coldly in his heart: I remember you, what's the use of being familiar with you, and you won't keep my Yu family safe for the rest of my life.Naturally, his face was calm, and he responded with a gentle smile.

Zhong Liye's hand landed on her abdomen again, and patted lightly, "If you are implicated in the matter of the court, you are innocent. The right way is to hold on to your happiness, so that you will not even have a reason to take refuge when you do."

Yu Shaoyun's heart trembled when he heard this.What does this mean?
"Whatever happens in the future, don't be impetuous and talk about right and wrong. In the long run, I believe that I will not treat Yongpinghou badly."

"Yeah." Yu Shaoyun let herself be pulled into his arms, her face was calm, but her heart was full of alarm bells - what does this mean?
Zhong Liye's hand fell on the scar on her shoulder again.

Yu Shaoyun's eyes flickered slightly, and said: "Tomorrow, the concubine will go to the imperial physician to see if there is any good medicine to remove this scar."

Zhong Liye said, "No need. This is not a flaw, and you don't have to be impeccable just because you entered the palace."

Throughout the autumn, Ye Xizhao had nothing serious to do around him.In my spare time, I kept communicating with Ye Xihan, Xu Shi, and Qiao An by correspondence.

In Joan's letter, the self-evident hurt slowly disappeared from the lines, and he began to resort to some trivial matters in his spare time, and his words were very soft and comfortable.She also mentioned Xiao Xun, saying that her parents agreed to ask Xiao Xun to give her a divorce letter to make a break after a while. If Xiao Xun refused, she had no choice but to make peace with him.

Ye Xizhao had to ask her how her injury was recovering and whether there would be any hidden dangers.

Qiao An said that there is a sister who is a famous doctor by her side, so there is no need to worry.After returning to Longcheng, he was raised by Haosheng, and now his body has recovered, and he has been practicing martial arts and hunting with his father and younger brother from time to time recently.

Word by word, Qiao An sketched out a picture of a carefree life for Ye Xizhao, she is really a woman who can afford to let go.

However, Ye Xizhao didn't understand that the unwillingness in Qiao An's heart, the bitterness after getting married for so long, was actually impossible to let go.It's just that some people are strong and can whitewash peace so that people can almost believe it, but some people can't even show the strength and courage to force a smile.

She just hopes that Qiao An can live a happy life more and more. For Qiao An, if she leaves Xiao Xun, she can slowly live a much more happy life. Then, she would rather exchange letters between two places than Qiao An go back to Xiao Xun again. government.

Therefore, every time she sees Xiao Xun, she can only be cruel and ignore the fact that he has become haggard and depressed because of Qiao An's departure.

There is no way, she is a woman, and in this matter, she can only weigh everything for Joan's joy and sorrow.

Autumn is over and winter is coming. Yu Shaohuan married Guan Siniang and entered the house.

For this marriage, Ye Xizhao took every detail into consideration, and everyone in the Hou Mansion also made careful preparations for a long time according to her wishes, so the marriage was held in a splendid manner.

Everyone in the Hou Mansion rejoiced because of this marriage, but after the day when Yu Shaohuan accompanied Guan Siniang back home for three dynasties, there was an uproar in the court.

Yu Shaoheng, Ye Shuxuan and even Xiao Xun were impeached by many officials.

This round of impeachment has exceeded everyone's expectations——

Those impeached include some officials, some important ministers, some officials from other places, some fathers and brothers of concubines in the harem, and several generals who supported one side outside.

They either brought up the old story again, brought up the crime of impeachment of Yu Shaoheng and the other three by the former officials, or talked about the current private battles between Yu Shaoheng and Xiao Xun with Zhong Lizhen, without regard for the face of the royal family, or It is some people who have long been dissatisfied with Yu Shaoheng's appointment as Minister of the Ministry of War, accusing Yu Shaoheng of not being able to act impartially...

All in all, whether it is flashing words, full of resentment, or acting on the wall, they are all on the opposite side of Yu Shaoheng and the other three.

The emperor dismissed dozens of official memorials again and again, but the officials did not restrain themselves because of this, but their momentum became bigger and bigger.

Three days after the impeachment turmoil, a hundred officials jointly filed a petition, but the emperor ignored it, and simply knelt outside the Meridian Gate, screaming hoarsely and indignantly, begging the emperor to punish Yu Shaoheng and the other three impartially.

The momentum of more than 100 big men crying in unison... can be imagined.

While these things were happening, Prince Jing and Zhong Lizheng were still thinking behind closed doors in the mansion, never showing up, and even the people in the mansion lived in seclusion, ignoring outside affairs.

After Ye Xizhao and Mrs. Tai heard this, no matter how calm and calm they were, they couldn't help being terrified in private.

Yu Shaoheng has a temperament that won't talk about the right and wrong of the court unless others ask him, and they are people in the inner house, so as long as the matter has nothing to do with them, they won't ask him anything.Therefore, when the turbulent waves swept over, they were completely at a loss.

After calming down and facing the status quo, Ye Xizhao carefully sorted out everything that happened recently, and it must be Prince Jing who made the move.

In the eyes of outsiders, he was contemplating his mistakes behind closed doors, and he must have been carefully planning at home how to bring down the Prime Minister's mansion and how to avenge Zhong Lixuan.

Now the ministers are threatening to force the palace, and his secret collusion with King Chengyuan has actually become an open secret among him, the emperor, Yu Shaoheng, Xiao Xun and others.

Obviously, under the balance, King Jing didn't want to sever contact with King Chengyuan, but to use this power to become a defenseless barrier.

There are a group of officials in the capital impeaching, and there are King Chengyuan and several generals outside who are watching. The daughter of King Chengyuan - the current queen is in the palace, and I am afraid that she has already cultivated her own power.

This situation is really shocking, the emperor seems to have become a real loner overnight.What he trusted and relied on has now become the target of public criticism. His Seventh Emperor Uncle, his father-in-law, and his bedside wife joined forces to push him to the forefront.

But at this time, Ye Xizhao naturally has no intention of sympathizing with or worrying about the emperor, what she cares most about is the safety of Yu Shaoheng and the prime minister's family—under such circumstances, even if the emperor still wants to protect them from being affected, he already has intentions. powerless.How can the emperor bet on the world in exchange for the safety of several people.

no, no...

Ye Xizhao shook his head violently, and pinched his brows hard.Don't just think about these irritating and worrying things, think about other things.

She forced herself to calm down, recalling the words and deeds of Yu Shaoheng and Xiao Xun when dealing with various things recently, recalling the words and deeds that they mentioned the emperor many times in their words, and also recalling the situation when Yu Shaoheng often went to the prime minister's mansion to discuss matters with his father.

It is impossible for these few people to be completely unaware of this, and it is impossible to be completely unprepared.Even if there was only a personal grievance, it was impossible for them not to guard against Prince Jing's retaliation.

What Ye Xizhao couldn't figure out was what their countermeasures were, did they just fall into the current situation?
She wanted to ask Yu Shaoheng for clarification, but Yu Shaoheng didn't even have time to go back to his home in the past few days, and he didn't know where he was and what he was busy with.

In the evening of the same day, she received the news that the officials knelt down and refused to leave.

In a rage, the emperor ordered people to punish several officials who took the lead in causing trouble, but it didn't work.The rest of the officials still refused to retreat, but became more and more angry. Some people even bluntly reprimanded the emperor for refusing to convict Yu Shaoheng and others.

The situation is out of control, out of control.

In desperation, the emperor followed the advice of the queen mother, and ordered to invite Prince Jing, who was honest and contemplating behind closed doors, to the palace, intending to ask Prince Jing to help him deal with it.However, Prince Jing did not enter the palace according to the order, and ordered someone to enter the palace to tell him that he was seriously ill and couldn't get up.

The stalemate must be broken. The Empress Dowager and the Emperor went to Prince Jing's mansion together, calling it a visit, but in fact they invited Prince Jing out of the mountain in person.

If Prince Jing is invited to come forward, what good results can there be?He is bound to wipe out Hou's Mansion, Xiang's Mansion, and Xiao Xun in one go.The most important thing is that he has nothing to worry about, to the point of rebellion.

It is very likely that King Jing will make the emperor a puppet at his mercy, and the power will rule the world from then on.

What a woman can think of, the emperor can't think of it, and it's impossible to let the situation go to the point where Prince Jing can get what he wants.But she couldn't figure out where to turn the situation around.

The atmosphere in the mansion has been extremely gloomy for the past few days. Everyone's face is full of worry and apprehension, and they are all afraid that if the Hou Mansion loses power, they will become a fish in the pond.

It was a mess, even if she tried to stay calm, she would continue as before.

When the time came, Ye Xizhao went to Mrs. Tai's room as usual.

Yu Shaoheng was already in Mrs. Tai's room, and Yuanyang was changing a cup of tea for him.

By the looks of it, it's been a while.

Ye Xizhao looked at him probingly, trying to find even the slightest sign from his face that indicated his future plans.

But he was calm as usual, his eyes were still as bright as stars, and he couldn't detect his mood.

Mrs. Tai was a little calmer than the previous few days, she said a few words to Ye Xizhao, then waved her hands and said with a smile: "Go back to your room, Shaoqian and Shaohuan will be here later, I have something to tell them .”

The husband and wife said they were stepping back, and when they returned to the lotus, Yu Shaoheng held Ye Xizhao's hand.

Ye Xizhao looked at him sideways, "Is there anything you want to tell me?"
