Mistress

Chapter 64

Mother Cui sighed, "Ma'am, what Madam said is that Princess Bao has always been like this. From before, I think that Prince Bao likes her very much and is spoiled by her, but Prince Bao doesn't even come to see her these days. It’s a bad feeling and I don’t know what the future holds.”

Li Yan also sighed quietly, speechless.She knew that Xu Jing's future had already been decided there, and it was impossible for her to get along with Prince Bao again, and she didn't know if she would be able to put Prince Bao down one day, if not, this life would be a bitter one.

Li Yan is also very busy these days, and has been discussing with Manager Qi about opening a shop, and preparations for decorating the shop and purchasing goods have already begun.The fifteenth day of the first lunar month has passed, and we can prepare for the opening in these two days.

She looked through the various expenses of the past few days, and felt a little more at ease. Fortunately, it was not a big amount. Last time Ma Xing went to Cui Song Yuan to check secretly, and the boxes of Mrs. Tai were indeed mostly empty. , only a few thousand taels of silver.Xu Cheng said that with the ones he found from Zhang Yuliu, he already had enough money.

Now the shop's expenses are all within a reasonable amount, Li Yan sees that everything is going smoothly, and she feels more relaxed physically and mentally.

Although it is possible for Xu Cheng to own the world and she does not need to take care of these businesses, she does this only to cooperate with Xu Cheng.There are so many spies under the emperor, and Prince Bao also sent a secret agent, she can only concentrate on running the shop to confuse them all.

Just think about it, how can someone who is ambitious and wants to win the world still have the mind to let his family spend money to open a bunch of shops, which is a huge waste of material resources, financial resources, energy and so on.

Seeing Li Yan's relaxed expression, Madam Cui asked, "The shop is ready, Madam plans to spend all her energy on these and not care about Aunt Ji and Aunt Song anymore? Aunt Ji has become anxious again these days. You have asked Qier three times to come over and beg you to release her restraint."

"Don't pay attention to her, the ban cannot be lifted if the master doesn't speak." Now Li Yan doesn't care about Aunt Ji and Aunt Song at all, but is worried about the future.

For the time being, she and Xu Cheng really have the same heart and mind, and cooperate very tacitly. In the future..., maybe everything will change.Sometimes she even hoped that Xu Cheng would always be a Marquis of peace, she would be content to be a Mrs. Hou with peace of mind, she could be a loving couple with Xu Cheng for a lifetime, carefree, how nice it would be.

However, all this is nothing more than imagination, Xu Cheng is not a person who is content with the status quo.

Five days later, all the shops were opened, teahouses and theaters were also set up, which was very lively.Li Yan only went there once, but was persuaded by Xu Cheng later. Although he secretly arranged for someone to protect her, Xu Cheng was still worried.

Seeing that it was the beginning of February, Xu Cheng didn't come back for several days.On this day, Xu Jing clamored to go back to Prince Bao's mansion, even though Aunt Song was very close to her, she couldn't stop her, so she had to call Li Yan here.

As soon as Li Yan entered the door, Xu Jing said anxiously: "Sister-in-law, I have been raised here for a month, and now my head is no longer hurting, and my eyes are almost healed, so I have to go back today."

Li Yan responded with a smile, "Little sister, are you afraid that Prince Bao will be seduced by some goblins in the mansion?"

Xu Jing blushed, "Sister-in-law is always talking and joking, just how can those little girls' pictures win the prince's heart, they are nothing but lowly things."

"Little sister is right, those concubines and maids who are not on the stage should not be feared." Li Yan sat down after saying that.

Xu Jing didn't think there was anything wrong when she heard this, but Aunt Song who was at the side blushed. Li Yan said that a concubine is something that cannot be on the stage, and even put a concubine and a maid together and said that this is not to humiliate her It's no wonder Li Yan doesn't care about her, it seems that she doesn't have to be afraid that she won't be on stage.

Seeing Xu Jing's eagerness to go back, Li Yan said with a smile: "Look at the good look on my little sister's face, she has indeed recovered, and I won't force you to stay. Tomorrow is Mrs. Tai's Qi Qi, The master has already said that he will perform the kneeling ceremony again, but the younger sister should wait until tomorrow to perform the kneeling ceremony."

Xu Jing was full of joy when she heard that, "Okay, I'll leave tomorrow, anyway, I don't care about staying another day."

Li Yan knew that what she said was useless, so Xu Cheng had to figure out a solution by himself tomorrow.

In the morning of the second day, Xu Cheng came out and brought the whole house up and down to kneel down to worship. This time was the most solemn, and invited monks to sing scriptures.Busy from early in the morning to near noon, the kneeling ceremony ended, Li Yan bowed and knelt again, her head was dizzy.

Xu Jing's body is just right, and after all this tossing, she has been supported by two maids, otherwise she will fall down.

When Xu Jing was relieved, Xu Cheng called her aside and sat down alone.Xu Jing thought that Xu Cheng wanted to talk to her before she left, but she didn't expect Xu Cheng to say, "Little sister doesn't have to go back to Prince Bao's mansion anymore."

Xu Jingxing's eyes were wide open, her mouth half-opened, she was stunned for a long time before she said, "Why did you say that, big brother?"

Xu Cheng was bored for a while and said: "You heard the big brother right, he didn't treat you sincerely, he just wanted to keep you by his side to contain the Xu family, and... I'm already planning to arrest him."

Xu Jing jumped up in fright, "I don't want to listen to what my brother is talking nonsense!"

Xu Cheng clamped her wrist, "little sister, you have to listen to elder brother and forget about him. In the future, elder brother will find another good son-in-law for you."

Xu Jing cried and shouted, "I don't want to listen, why should I forget him, he is very good to me, I don't want to leave him! If you dare to arrest him, I will... I will not recognize you as a brother!"

Xu Jing struggled desperately.

"He wants to rebel, you know, I have to arrest him!" Xu Cheng has prepared everything and is not afraid to let her know the truth.

Xu Jing yelled: "Brother, you were a prime minister, why are you so confused, the emperor doesn't use you anymore, and you still help the emperor? Prince Bao just raised a few cronies, how could it be treason?"

Xu Cheng said word by word: "I not only want to catch Prince Bao, but also the emperor!"

Xu Jing stopped struggling, and looked at her elder brother in fear. She stepped back step by step, and finally slumped on the chair, and said vaguely, "I don't believe it."

At this time, the young man outside the door ran over to report that Prince Bao had arrived.

Xu Jing stood up suddenly, seeing that she was about to run out, she was grabbed by Xu Cheng, "little sister, why are you so obsessed?"

"He came to pick me up, I want to go back with him! Brother, I beg you, please let me go back." Xu Jing begged.

Xu Cheng really understood that sentence, girls are not allowed to stay!Although she is his sister, not a daughter.

Li Yan and Aunt Song were also shocked. Xu Cheng handed Xu Jing to them, "Bring her back to Mingxiang Pavilion and take good care of her! Aunt Song, please persuade her well."

Aunt Song didn't understand why Xu Cheng didn't want Xu Jing to go back. At this time, Li Yan had already called a bunch of servants to carry Xu Jing to Mingxiang Pavilion, and asked Aunt Song to appease Xu Jing.

Xu Jing lay on Aunt Song's body and cried loudly, and Aunt Song had to cry with her, because Xu Jing cried so much that Aunt Song was not allowed to say a word.

Li Yan just sat outside, Xu Jing didn't listen to her anyway, she didn't bother to go in to persuade her.

What she is worried about now is how Xu Cheng will face Prince Bao, is she going to take this opportunity to arrest Prince Bao?She guessed it right, as soon as Prince Bao entered the gate, Xu Cheng had someone arrest him, and at the same time sent people to surround both Prince Bao's Mansion and Song Mansion, making it airtight.

In addition, Xu Cheng ordered 10,000+ troops already deployed to attack the city.Because usually there are only tens of thousands of soldiers guarding the capital, and many guarding goalkeepers have been bribed, so it is easy to attack the moat.

But Su Bai and dozens of people had already been dispatched to the palace secretly. When they heard that someone was attacking the city outside, the palace became chaotic.When a disaster is imminent, who cares who is the emperor, life is the most important thing.

The emperor has been worried about the war in recent days, because the prince's situation there is not very good.At first, he only encountered [-] soldiers from the Wang family, and the prince quickly repelled the opponent, but he didn't expect that nearly [-] enemy troops came from nowhere. To support, the imperial decree has been issued.

But today, the emperor received a secret letter from the crown prince, saying that it would take several days for the reinforcements to arrive, and it seemed that the Wang family had sent more troops. Li Xiangrui's advance troops helped block some of the enemy troops, but The backup army has yet to follow up.

He couldn't take it anymore.

The emperor was in a state of desperation, and was thinking whether to send Xu Cheng and tens of thousands of defenders from the capital to support him. If he used all the good horses in the capital, he could organize a light cavalry team, and he would be able to reach the prince within three days.

Thinking about this, he suddenly became vigilant. Could it be that Wei Ji lied about the military situation of the Wang family?Or did Wei Ji not find out by himself?

Does this have anything to do with Xu Cheng?
Just when he was hesitating, he had already heard the noisy and chaotic sounds of killing outside, Su Bai and dozens of people had already fought and killed with the imperial guards in the palace.

There are thousands of imperial guards in the palace, but only dozens of them serve the emperor. Others heard that someone was attacking the city outside, and they have already hidden or fled.

Immediately afterwards, thousands of soldiers surrounded his bedroom.These soldiers are not his, but Xu Cheng's.

The emperor stood in the middle of the bedroom in a daze, just watching Su Bai and others kill his imperial guards.He asked himself over and over again in his heart, why did he believe that Xu Cheng would not have any schemes, why did all the spies report that Xu Cheng had at most [-] soldiers and horses, and that no one of the old Duke's generals had secretly contacted Xu Cheng , Those disciples didn't change at all, why did he use such useless things and call him Jinyiwei?

He was cheated?Lied to by everyone?

Why didn't he kill Xu Cheng sooner?
Why is he so stupid as the emperor of the Great Ye Dynasty!

Su Bai came over covered in blood, and his long sword reached the emperor's neck.

The emperor didn't want to let himself fall into Xu Cheng's hands, it would only distract the prince who was fighting in the distance.Only if he died altogether, the prince would not think of coming to save him.Before the prince set off on the expedition, he said a word to the prince, that is: If you can't win, run away, and the future will be long!

He wiped his neck on Su Bai's sword, and fell down instantly, blood staining the ground.
