I owe the female honor system a billion

Chapter 159 40. Xun Li

The house of Xun Li's family also inherited the frugal style that the ministers of the Wu Dynasty always pursued. The previous decoration of this ordinary house.

The wooden decoration of the whole room has been dyed a little brown-gray due to the age. The whole room is not very ventilated. It is obviously daytime, but only a little sunlight enters from the side near the window, making the interior of the room bright. some.

Many corners under the wooden roof are hidden in the darkness, which always makes people wonder if there are some invisible bugs hiding in them.

"Cough cough."

Before Mr. Xun Li was not at home, the house was always eerily quiet. Only a few servants would come here to clean it once or twice, to clean the dust in the house for Mr. Xun Li who didn't care much about details in his daily life.

Who told Mr. Xun Li to rush to the palace twice a day, three days, and sometimes rest directly in the Daming Hall when there were too many things to do, and he didn't even bring back home, which made people wonder if the servants in her house could do it Take the money and run away at any time.

Ah no, although her family doesn't have any money to take away.

So, Xun Li, who was relegated home by the current emperor these days, is a strange guest to this room.Moreover, her health seemed to be a little worse. Just looking at the booklet in her hand, she would cough a few times from time to time, so she wanted to find some water on the table beside her.

"Master Xun, it's time. It's time for a break."

A servant came in from outside the door, wearing linen clothes and holding a spoon in his hand. It seemed that he was the servant of Xun Li's family who was preparing meals.

Without raising his head, Xun Li just looked at the folder in his hand and waved to the servant, as if to tell her not to disturb him.

But the servant still said to Xun Li, "Master Xun, you said it yourself, the time is up, it's time to rest."

Xun Li frowned, but he seemed to have thought of something, so he put down the folder in his hand.

She has not been in good health for the past few days, so she asked the servant to come and tell her to rest after a while.I didn't expect that I just said to let others tell her to rest, and then I forgot about it when I turned around.

Xun Li rubbed his sore eyes, turned his head to look at the empty yard outside, and didn't know what he was thinking for a moment.

As a result, through the window, I saw the servant carrying the rice spoon coming from the front yard.

"Master Xun, there are guests here"

Xun Li turned his head to look at the servant, and frowned, "Didn't you say that I haven't seen any guests during this time? Don't care who it is, just tell her that I'm unwell."

Ever since she was ordered by Xia Qinglan to go home and rest, many ministers came to visit her and say some regretful words to her.Xun Li was afraid that Xia Qinglan's reputation would be bad, so he didn't want to see these people. He just said that he was not feeling well, so he asked for some time to rest.

The servant lowered his head and said, "It's a guest from the palace."

Xun Li frowned, as if thinking of the emperor who was smiling and not very serious, and then he hummed softly, then got down from the couch by the window, and rummaged through the clothes in the closet next to him.

"Oh, I said that Xia Qinglan has a hard mouth but a soft heart. No, he will come to see me soon." Xun Li said to the servant waiting behind him while putting on his clothes. .

The servant looked up at Xun Li suspiciously, rolled his eyes hesitantly, and then hesitated for a long time before saying, "Is that Mr. Xun Li?"

"Huh? It's not what?" Xun Li had already put on his clothes, and turned his head to look at the servant behind him.

The servant lowered his head and said helplessly, "Your Majesty is not here."

"what?"

After Xun Li put on his clothes, his face froze.

Xun Li sat in the front hall with no expression on his face, waited until the servant behind him served two cups of hot tea, and then turned his gaze to the boy in white with a veil covering his face.

Behind the young man, many palace officials followed, waiting outside the front hall with their heads lowered.

Xun Li looked at the young man helplessly, picked up the hot tea on the table, passed the hot air of the tea with his mouth, took a sip, and asked the young man,
"I don't know why the emperor came here."

The young man looked at Xun Li's face turned pale, but the lower eye sockets seemed to be covered by a dark cloud. Although the pupils of the eyes were still bright, there were many blue bloodshots gathered near the whites of the eyes.

The boy didn't answer, but looked at her weak appearance and said, "Master Xun doesn't look well."

Xun Li frowned,

"The body of the minister will not be used by the empress."

Before she finished speaking, Su Chang interrupted her, "Master Xun thought that His Majesty sent Master Xun to go home to rest because of the so-called removal of the grave?"

Xun Li looked at Su Chang for a long time, then sighed, and said, "Why don't you know His Majesty's painstaking efforts? In the past few years, I have fought with Your Majesty, worked hard for a long time, and my health is indeed not as good as before."

But Su Chang said with a smile, "Since Lord Xun knows His Majesty's painstaking efforts, why is he still reading the booklets during the rest days, and letting people loose into the palace, which made His Majesty helpless for a long time."

Xun Li didn't continue to look at Su Chang, but took a sip of tea instead,
"Did His Majesty ask the emperor to lobby his ministers later?"

"No."

Seeing Xun Li turning his head to look at himself speechlessly, Su Chang smiled and said,
"I have something I want to talk to Lord Xun about."

"What's the matter?"

"The matter of Lanshan."

Xun Li frowned, "It's about the relics of the late emperor. I have played many times, but His Majesty refuses to loosen his word and let the late emperor return to Beijing for burial. I'm afraid it will be difficult."

Su Chang shook his head speechlessly, and said, "Before this matter may become a problem in His Majesty's heart, His Majesty silently called the name of the late emperor in his sleep."

Xun Li was slightly startled, looking at Su Chang, something seemed to appear in his mind, and his eyes became moist. After waiting for a few seconds to recover, he realized that Su Chang was still looking at her. He lifted it up, wiped his moist eye sockets, and covered up the short-lived ugliness, and said,

"Your Majesty is also resentful about the late emperor's matter. The one who resents it is not the late emperor, but she is the one who resents it."

"Your Majesty has always felt that the person who is good at being an emperor in this world should be the late emperor, not her. For so many years, your majesty has always thought that the late emperor traded her life for his life based on the love of mother and daughter. She herself owed the late emperor, but she has nowhere to go But it's repaid."

Su Chang also sighed speechlessly, but still smiled, looking at Xun Li,
"Lord Xun, this matter is for His Majesty, I have a way to resolve it, but I just need the cooperation of Lord Xun"

Xun Li wiped away his tears and said,
"The emperor orders, dare not disobey"

"You don't have to be so strict." Su Chang waved his hand, but took out a box from his bosom, and after opening it, what was revealed was a medicinal pill exuding a strange fragrance.

"Empress, this is?"

Su Chang laughed,

"The first step of the plan, Mr. Xun, let's take care of his body first."
