Second marriage to the regent

Chapter 37 Passing by
A gust of cold wind came from behind and froze Su Junxi in place. In the silent night, she kept sucking in the cold air and her heartbeat could be clearly heard.

With a whooshing sound, the hair on the temples was blown, and the footsteps gradually approached.

She was so frightened that her heartbeat began to beat faster.

Looking at the reflection on the wall, the figure behind her was probably an adult man. She held the handkerchief tightly in her hand, ready to shout for help at any time.

The figure gradually approached, and she wanted to cry out for help, but the familiar voice made her give up the idea instantly.

"Very familiar?" Li Junyi asked her with a frown.

After hearing this familiar voice, she felt instantly at ease.

The two of them have met several times. This Shen Xinghui is not like other young masters who act rogue or do bad things. On the contrary, he is warm-hearted and has always made Su Junxi feel that he is sunny, cheerful and carefree. A troubled look.

"I've seen him a few times. I wonder why the prince comes to visit late at night?" Su Junxi was very confused. Why does this prince always like to break into private houses at night?

Could it be that he is addicted?

Li Junyi seemed to be looking for something important. After looking around the room for a week, he sat down naturally without seeing anyone else.

Every time she faced his familiar attitude, Su Junxi felt like she had recognized the wrong person.

"Passing by, come in and take a look."

Of course, Su Junxi wouldn't believe Li Junyi's obvious words. Now that Shen Xing had come to the Hou Mansion, she didn't believe it was a coincidence.

She suspected that Li Junyi was following Shen Xinghui, but she turned around and thought again, what was a dignified regent doing following a seemingly unrelated person in the middle of the night?
After this idea was overturned, Su Junxi heard Li Junyi start talking to himself again.

"Is Shen Xinghui familiar with Tang Zhili?" Li Junyi felt that some kind of deal might have been reached between the two.

I didn't pay much attention to whether the two people had known Su Junxi for a long time, and I didn't even think that they would be related.

She shook her head and replied: "I don't know. I have never seen the Marquis mention it."

With the faint light, the scratches on Su Junxi's wrist were still eye-catching. Li Junyi took a look and frowned slightly. Su Junxi was confused and asked him: "Your Majesty, is he unwell?"

But don't fall down in her room, otherwise not only will your reputation be ruined, but your head will be removed from your neck.

Seeing that Su Junxi was suspicious, Li Junyi coughed twice in embarrassment and replied: "It's okay."

"It's late at night, let's get some rest early." After saying that, he refused to leave until there was a door, jumped down from the window, and soon the figure disappeared from sight.

Su Junxi froze in place with a serious expression. Strange things happened frequently tonight.

She shook her head slightly, then walked to the bed and lay down, and fell asleep quickly.

In the study

Tang Zhili and Shen Xinghui were saying goodbye. Judging from the smiles on their faces, the transaction was successful.

"That's why I have to thank Master Shen. I will definitely pay you a visit someday." Tang Zhili said goodbye with a smile on his face.

Shen Xing cupped his fists in return and said, "You're welcome, Lord Marquis. I'll see you tomorrow."

See you tomorrow?
Li Junyi understood. It seemed that Tang Zhili had invited Shen Xing back for the autumn hunting event tomorrow.

When only Tang Zhili was left in the study, Li Junyi jumped off the wall and approached quietly.

After Tang Zhili turned off the lights and went to bed, he took out a small piece of pipe from his arms, pierced the window paper and blew into the room, then turned around and left with satisfaction.

Second day

The Hou Mansion has been busy since early in the morning, preparing everything needed for autumn hunting. "I don't know how many days it will take to come back from this autumn hunting, and I don't know what the weather will be like outside. I have to bring a few coats with me in case of emergencies."

Mrs. Ye was talking to her son in the house, and asked him not to close the door but to work seriously, otherwise he would be expelled.

Tang Zhili suddenly stopped the maid who was walking in front and ordered: "Go and see how Madam's preparations are."

"Yes, Lord Marquis." After the maid handed the things in her hands to her companion, she turned around and disappeared in the direction of the Liyuan.

Seeing that Tang Zhili suddenly cared about Su Junxi, Mrs. Ye thought that the relationship between the two had eased, so she persuaded him: "There is no overnight feud between husband and wife. There are too many misunderstandings between you and Xi'er. Find a suitable time. Explain it to her. She has always been considerate and she will forgive you."

With his understanding of Su Junxi over the years, Ye was very confident in persuading his son.

But judging from Tang Zhili's interactions with Su Junxi these days, she has changed a long time ago.

She may not even have herself in her heart.

He still thought of the man with whom she had a great conversation.

How did Su Junxi, who had never left the Hou Mansion, meet this man?
Did he really misunderstand Su Junxi and this was a fiction, or did she hide it so well that he couldn't find any clues about it.

But her true love for him was definitely not fake, and her recent indifference to him and even her intentional alienation were also real.

What happened to her?
Seeing that Tang Zhili was absent-minded, Ye was worried that he was not feeling well, so he asked him thoughtfully: "If you are feeling unwell, we might as well not go for the autumn hunting."

It is just an entertainment activity, and it is not mandatory. It is not inappropriate to tell the emperor that he is not feeling well.

Tang Zhili refused without thinking: "My son has always been in good health, so don't worry, mother!"

Liyuan
As soon as the servant girl reached the door of the courtyard, she was blocked by the waiter at the door: "Stop, Madam has an order. No one can step into the opera garden without Madam's order."

The maid was so frightened that she took a few steps back and explained, "The Marquis ordered me to come over and see if the lady is ready."

Su Junxi also packed up and came out. When she saw the maid who was blocked outside, she said to her: "Go back and tell the Marquis that I will go ahead."

The maid didn't dare to stay any longer, so she immediately turned around and left in a hurry.

"Look at how scared this maid is! Those who didn't know better thought she was bullying someone!" Ying Shi started to break her tongue.

Ms. Bai has been living and eating with Su Junxi recently. She noticed that the two personal maids around her no longer call her "Madam", and she feels full of doubts.

But she didn't dare to say anything. Su Junxi brought her with her today because she wanted to see the world, so Su Junxi brought her with her.

"Do you know anything about Qiu Lie?"

After getting on the carriage, Su Junxi suddenly asked the Bai family next to her.

Mrs. Bai shook her head: "I have little talent and little knowledge, and I have never heard of the royal autumn hunting activities. However, when I was among the people, I saw people from the same village going into the mountains to hunt. There are many dangers in the mountains, and there are hunters' traps everywhere."

Suddenly, Bai's eyes were full of worry: "I think coming to the royal hunting ground is also full of dangers. I hope the Marquis can be safe."

"There will be soldiers protecting you when hunting. You don't have to worry about the Marquis' safety."

The Royal Guards were inseparable personal guards. If she wanted to get a chance to teach Tang Zhili a lesson, she had to get rid of the Guards first.

"With Madam's words, I feel relieved." Mrs. Bai felt a little grateful to Su Junxi.

But at the same time, she was also worried about what Su Junxi's plan was to suddenly treat her so well.

There must be some fraud in this!
