Mistress

Chapter 35

Aunt Ji took the bird's nest and ate a few mouthfuls, and said, "Ying'er, find a pen and paper, grind the ink, and then go and call Chen Hao."

Ying'er looked at her with some surprise, "Auntie is not feeling well, do you want to write something? Isn't it... appropriate to call Chen Hao here at this hour?"

Aunt Ji put the bowl in Ying'er's hand, and frowned, "You silly girl, why don't you understand at all? Don't think that if Chen Hao likes you, your marriage will definitely come true, and then you will have to rely on me to be with the master." Dealing with you in front of you, you have to learn to coax Chen Hao to be happy, and hold his heart firmly. He must also miss you and want to see you. If you go and find him, he must be happy. What time does it matter? "

Ying'er was full of shyness, put down the bowl to find a pen and paper, grinded the ink, and ran out excitedly to find Hao Chen.

After Ying'er went out, Aunt Ji got up and came to the desk to write a secret letter to the emperor, to the effect that the emperor should quickly find a way to pick her up, preferably in the palace, even if she couldn't be a concubine. Settle her down in the name of her, as long as she has a place to give birth to a child with peace of mind.As for the status, we will talk about it after the child is born.

For the sake of the emperor's heir in her stomach, she no longer wants to be Xu Cheng's concubine.After all these years, she still feels that Xu Cheng is like a familiar stranger. He has never loved her or loved her. Perhaps it is this sense of distance that makes her even more infatuated with Xu Cheng.

But the emperor is different, every time she goes to the palace, she can always hear the sweet words of the emperor, and also get physical and mental satisfaction from him.Although she is not obsessed with the emperor, she doesn't hate it either. At least the emperor can satisfy her many demands.

As long as the emperor is born, even if the emperor gets tired of her in the future, she still has the prince or princess to rely on.

After she finished writing, she sealed the seal, and heard movement in the ear room.Both Ying'er and Chen Hao thought that Aunt Ji meant to let the two of them have a private meeting, fulfilling their good intention of always wanting to be together, so they didn't bother Aunt Ji, but went directly to the ear room.

Aunt Ji cursed in her heart, this pair of shameless people really did not delay the matter, she originally wanted Chen Hao to deliver the letter for her.They didn't expect them to be happy, they went directly to the anteroom to cuddle and cuddle, they really thought Ji Yanqiu was old!

After a while, Aunt Ji felt that the two of them should be getting bored, so she knocked on the door and entered.

Chen Hao and Ying'er had been together for a long time, but he was a little shy when he saw Aunt Ji, his cheeks were flushed, "Auntie...hasn't rest yet? Ying'er said, you asked her to call me, So..." He hesitated to continue.

Ying'er lowered her head and quickly brought a chair for Aunt Ji.

Aunt Ji came in and sat down, and said with a smile: "Yo, you big man, why are you ashamed, knowing that you two miss each other all the time, I will find a chance to fulfill you. Don't worry, such good things will definitely not happen in the future." Little. Seeing that you two get along so well, I really envy you. I feel so bored that I can’t sleep, and I want to pass a few words to Empress Yubi, would you help me make this trip?”

Aunt Ji knew very well that Chen Hao usually followed the master into the palace and was very familiar with the terrain of the palace. With his kung fu, it would be no problem to break into the palace at night.

Chen Hao agreed very readily: "Don't worry, Auntie, I can still do such small things. I wonder what Auntie wants to say to Empress Yubi?"

Aunt Ji took out the letter and handed it to him, "I've already written it down, it's just sisters complaining and talking to each other to comfort each other."

Chen Hao took it and put it in his arms. He was about to say goodbye when Aunt Ji stopped him again and asked, "Chen Hao, do you know why the master kept the news that Mrs. Tai was terminally ill and would die soon?"

Chen Hao shook his head, "I really don't know about this, the master won't explain the reason to us when he does things."

Aunt Ji could feel that he was telling the truth. Xu Cheng never explained the reason to anyone, not to mention that Chen Hao was just a bodyguard. She asked again: "In addition to secretly preparing for Mrs. Tai's funeral, has the master made any other arrangements?" about?"

Chen Hao was a little conflicted, he didn't know whether he should tell Aunt Ji, but thinking that Aunt Ji let him meet Ying'er, it was really kind to them both, so he picked something he didn't think was important and said, "Actually, master It's not a big deal to be busy, just to find a steward and a accountant for the mansion, who seem to come from Mount Qi'e."

"Pray...E...Mountain? Steward and tent?" Aunt Ji was at a loss when she heard this. Shouldn't the madam be the one to discuss these matters?After thinking about it, I felt that these were really not a big deal, so I didn't ask any more questions, and waved my hand for Chen Hao to send the letter quickly.

On the way, Chen Hao had doubts and wanted to open the letter and read it.Although the letter is sealed, but because he has followed Xu Cheng for many years and learned a lot, he can read the letter without being noticed.

He hesitated again and again, but in the end he still didn't open it.Since Aunt Ji was kind enough to help him and Ying'er, he should do something for her faithfully in return.

After more than an hour, it was already dawn. Although Li Yan hadn't had enough sleep, she got up early because she thought she had to go to the mourning hall.At this moment, Qi Er was pinning an onyx silk flower on Li Yan, when Ma Xing slipped in.

Li Yan let Qi'er go out, leaving only Nanny Cui inside.Ma Xing looked excited, as if he had discovered a big secret, "Ma'am, Xuanzi and I hid in a big tree next to Qiushui Pavilion, and found that Chen Hao had entered Qiushui Pavilion!"

Li Yan was startled, "Isn't Chen Hao the guard next to the master? What was he doing at Qiushui Pavilion at that time?"

Ma Xing said very firmly: "Aunt Ji must have ordered Ying'er to seduce Chen Hao. I saw Ying'er and Chen Hao enter the ear room with my own eyes. The orphans and widows stayed there for a long time, and then Aunt Ji went in. .”

Nanny Cui spat beside her: "It's so nasty! Before Zhang Yuliu used one of his girls to hook up with Dr. Xu, but this Auntie Ji followed suit and asked Ying'er to hook up with Chen Hao. Ying'er is a careless person." Girl, Chen Hao has always been loyal to the master, now Aunt Ji has kidnapped and ruined it all!"

Li Yan thought to herself that Xu Cheng's three bodyguards were all selected by thousands of people, and they were extremely trusted by Xu Cheng.Aunt Ji must have enlisted Xu Cheng's bodyguards to inquire about the news.A concubine who cares so much about the master's affairs must have crooked intentions.

Li Yan thought of the mutton fat white jade bracelet that Aunt Ji was wearing last time, she was a little suspicious at that time, Empress Yubi would not give such a precious bracelet given to her by the emperor to Aunt Ji.Aunt Ji was bestowed upon Xu Cheng by the emperor back then, if the emperor is behind Aunt Ji, does that mean the emperor has been on guard against Xu Cheng?

The more Li Yan thought about it, the more she felt that the situation was serious. She asked Ma Xing to go back first, and then came to the mourning hall after a hasty breakfast.

Xu Cheng also just had breakfast, seeing Li Yan coming so early, he said, "You should rest more, don't get tired, there are me and my second brother here."

Li Yan winked at Xu Cheng and asked him to follow her into the small room next to her.Xu Cheng was quite curious, it was rare for him to see his wife so cautious.

Li Yan said straight to the point: "Master, Chen Hao didn't seem to be familiar with Aunt Ji before, did he?"

Xu Cheng's expression froze, "What did Chen Hao do?"

Li Yan had already thought up her speech on the way, and said eloquently, "Ma Xing took someone to the Qiushui Pavilion to clear the snow, and accidentally ran into Chen Hao sneaking into the Qiushui Pavilion, as if he was with Ying'er, Ma Xing came to report to me. Aunt Ji must have known about this. She condoned her girl's misbehavior. I could handle this matter by myself, but it involved the master's bodyguard, so I thought about it It's better for the master to handle it."

Xu Cheng instantly understood that Chen Hao was bought by Aunt Ji!However, Chen Hao knew too many things about him!
His expression was calm, and he said to Li Yan as if nothing had happened: "This is a trivial matter, Madam, don't worry. After Madam Tai is buried smoothly, it will not be too late for us to deal with this matter."

Li Yan nodded.

Xu Cheng said again: "I hope Madam will swallow this matter into her stomach and don't say anything. Ma Xing and others, you also tell them to keep their mouths shut. There will definitely be many people coming to the mansion to pay homage to Madam Tai these days. Letting outsiders know about these dirty things in our mansion will only embarrass the mansion."

Li Yan felt that what he said was reasonable, so she went out in response.As long as Xu Cheng knows about it, she believes he will handle it properly.As soon as she came out, Su Bai was called in by Xu Cheng.

Xu Cheng pondered for a moment, and then said: "Su Bo, hurry up and go to Qi'e Mountain, and ask Jiang Ziheng to move. Also, Chen Hao has been bribed, so we must guard against him in the future, but never startle the snake."

Su Bo obviously didn't expect that Chen Hao would be bribed, he looked slightly startled, and then quickly left Cui Song Yard.

Xu Cheng sighed alone, originally he planned to dispose of Aunt Ji in a few days, punish her for being pregnant with a wild child, and then drive her out of the prime minister's residence.Even if the emperor is angry, he can do nothing, because it is impossible for the emperor to admit that he is Aunt Ji's adulterer.

But now Xu Cheng has changed his mind again, thinking that it is better to keep Aunt Ji for the time being, so that he can pass the false secrets to Chen Hao, and Chen Hao will pass these on to Aunt Ji and the emperor, just to confuse the public.

Although what Xu Cheng has done recently is only a defensive measure for self-protection, the force and scale of this defense are also huge, and it must not be leaked, otherwise the success will fall short.

The Xu family began to formally hold the funeral today, and some ministers in the court were well-informed and came to pay their respects early.The Song family, the Ji family and the major families in the capital also came in groups.

Luckily, Nanny Cui reminded her that Li Yan didn't make any mistakes, but Li Yan was already a little dizzy after parrying one by one like this, because she just got up to greet the guests, and then she had to kneel beside her to burn paper money. When someone came in, she Had to get up again, then kneel down again.After so many repetitions, Li Yan felt that she couldn't hold on anymore.

Just when she was so tired that she was gradually exhausted, she saw Aunt Ji came over with the support of Ying'er and Qiao'er.Aunt Ji came to Li Yan's side, bowed to her, then knelt down under her, and was with Aunt Song.

Seeing Aunt Ji's pale face, Li Yan asked, "Your sister fainted yesterday, but today she just recovered and came to kneel, I wonder if she can hold on?"

Aunt Ji kowtowed a few times in the direction of Madam Tai's portrait, and then replied with a choked voice: "Thank you Madam for your concern, as long as Madam Tai can go away with peace of mind, I would rather spoil my body than hold on. "
