Xiaoyao Xiaojunhou

Chapter 828
In just a short moment, Concubine You felt as if an hour had passed.

Her hands squeezed the hem of her clothes tightly.

Although the upright voice failed to convince her body, but after a few breaths, Concubine You still gently pulled her on.

Action is very natural.

It's like brushing the dust off your clothes.

Silently.

But in fact, Concubine You was in a turbulent mood, unable to calm down, and beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.

At the same time, Zhu Xiuyuan's "locked state" was lifted.

He was stunned for a while, his old face was already hot, and he lowered his eyebrows and took a deep breath.

After his mind calmed down a little, he raised his eyes to look at Concubine You.

Concubine You Gui was walking slowly up the imperial steps, turned around and sat on the phoenix chair.

She walked very slowly, like stepping on ants, much slower than when she just walked down the imperial steps, and her posture was a little weird...

And after she sat down, she didn't lean back anymore, but sat upright, just like when she was facing up, exuding a kind of majesty from top to bottom.

After all, she was in charge of most of the government affairs of Chen State and was considered half an emperor, so once she became majestic, her aura was terrifying enough.

Beads of sweat immediately appeared on Zhu Xiuyuan's forehead.

He held the ceremony and said: "Your Majesty, I... am guilty, please punish me!"

Now that Zhu Xiuyuan is awake, he also feels scared in his heart.

In the emperor's harem, he showed the emperor's woman...

What is this called!
I'm afraid this can only happen at the end of the dynasty, and you have to be a powerful minister.

Although Zhu Xiuyuan's wings are strong enough now, he feels that he is not a powerful minister yet, far from it.

Feeling shocked, Zhu Xiuyuan raised his eyes slightly to look at Concubine You's face.

But I saw Concubine You with a calm face, sitting on the phoenix chair with a dignified manner, just like the mother of the country.

But her face was crimson, so red that it seemed like she could bleed, which was unusually red.

And when Zhu Xiuyuan raised his eyes, he found that Concubine You was also looking at him.

The look in her eyes was...smile?
That's not right, anyway, staring at him made Zhu Xiuyuan uncomfortable.

Zhu Xiuyuan withdrew his gaze and didn't look any further. He was in a state of confusion and didn't know how to deal with it for a while.

"My dear...what crime are you guilty of?"

Concubine You finally spoke, her voice was like the sound of nature.

"Ai Qing has accomplished a big event and has been rushing back to the capital for several days. You must be tired. Why don't you go back and have a good rest for two days? I... am too drunk, so it's time for you to rest!"

"The minister...retire!"

Zhu Xiuyuan stepped back and walked out of the hall, facing the scorching sun, which was a bit dazzling.

It was Eunuch Liu who personally took him out of the palace.

Eunuch Liu once said several words, but Zhu Xiuyuan was absent-minded and did not reply, so Eunuch Liu said no more.

On the carriage back home, Zhu Xiuyuan was always in a state of distraction.

He mentally analyzed the causes and consequences of this matter, Concubine You's attitude, and what consequences he might face.

"So far, Concubine You has not had a seizure. I don't know what she is thinking. Let's see what she does next..."

"Concubine You is a woman. Even so, she did not have an attack on the spot and was very restrained. This means that the matter has turned around. Otherwise, she gave the order at that time, I am afraid that my life will not be saved..."

"Then what is her purpose? To blackmail me? To agree to her certain conditions?"

"I was still too impulsive in this matter, and I didn't restrain myself, which led to this situation."

"Well, we need to make some preparations. If the situation is critical, we won't be tied up...could we run away again?"

"Concubine You has always treated me kindly, but I...why can't I control my eyes?! Besides, Concubine You is still the concubine of the crown prince and mother, how will I face His Highness the crown prince in the future?"

"The demon Kou once said that he asked me to take in Concubine You and let her blow my pillow... Could this be coming true?"

Zhu Xiuyuan was in a state of confusion for a while. …

At the same time.

The residence of the Prime Minister.

Study, in the dark room behind the bookshelves.

Li Zhong, the Prime Minister of the State, walked in carrying a candlestick.

A flickering flame traced a mottled, damp passage.

After walking for more than ten steps, Li Zhong stopped and placed the candlestick in a grotto on the wall next to it.

The space in the cave is very large, but the fire is very small, and the slightest light spreads, and most of the walls can't even be seen clearly, only a blurry black shadow.

The small jumping flames also cast a huge shadow on Li Zhong's not-so-tall body, which was projected on the dark stone wall, blurring and jumping incessantly.

"grown ups!"

Not far ahead, a black figure lurked in the darkness, with a hoarse voice that sounded cold and serious.

"Why are you so anxious to find me?"

"The task assigned by your Excellency months ago, my subordinates have conclusive evidence: Concubine You Lihua is indeed suffering from uterine occlusion syndrome, and the current Crown Prince is indeed the heir of the late Concubine Tang, who was adopted by Concubine You. Come!"

"Concubine You is simply unable to conceive and give birth!"

"Oh!"

Li Zhong's expression remained unchanged, "Is that true? Your news comes just in time, and I can use it to make some arrangements! By the way, have you collected all the evidence?"

"Return to my lord, the witnesses and the material evidences are complete, this is ironclad evidence, no noble concubine You can refute it!"

"It's so good...hahaha..."

Li Zhong finally looked up to the sky and laughed.

After he finished laughing, he said: "Shen Lei Hou, You Guifei, you have been confusing the king for a long time, it's time to clear up the king!"

……

Time goes back to an hour ago.

Yangtze River Wharf in the north of the city.

Zhu Xiuyuan followed Eunuch Liu to the palace.

Dong Shuzhen, Dong Cheng and Dong Shuyu returned to Shenleihou Mansion together.

For things like salutes, I have my own servants to carry them, so Dong Shuzhen doesn't need to bother.

In fact, after Dong Shuzhen got out of the carriage, she was "lifted" by Dong Shuyu, and together with Dong Cheng, she came to the flower hall of the main house and closed the door tightly.

"Dad, sister, what are you doing?"

Dong Shuzhen was inexplicably terrified, because seeing Dong Cheng's serious face, Dong Shuyu's expression was also extremely solemn, and the atmosphere was a little tense, which scared Dong Shuzhen.

"Didn't dad just say on the dock... that he wanted us to come back to take a bath and rest?"

Dong Shuzhen was scared and huddled behind her sister Dong Shuyu.

Compared to Dong Shuyu, she is actually more afraid of her father Dong Cheng.

"Zhen'er!"

Dong Cheng finally spoke, and his expression changed, no longer serious, but with a touch of hope, and a smile that looked terrifying to Dong Shuzhen.

"It's been a month since you and your good-natured son-in-law got married again, right?"

"Well, it seems like a month!" Dong Shuzhen replied.

"My Dong family's ancestral secret recipe, have you and your husband-in-law been drinking it for a month?"

"Yes, Daddy, my daughter and husband have been drinking for a full month!" Dong Shuzhen's eyes averted slightly.

The elder sister Dong Shuyu, who was used as a shield by her, immediately bowed her head and blushed when she heard this... I thought that your son-in-law had indeed taken medicine for more than a month.
