Leng Yi shook his head: "Weichen was going to paint the scene when the official family was fortunate to Mrs. Zheng Guo, but unfortunately it hadn't arrived yet, so this incident happened, so I haven't painted it yet." ”

Zhao Guangyi was very disappointed, but it was true at the time, when he was about to rape Xiao Zhouhou, he heard the roar of the tiger. Said: "It's a pity, but it doesn't matter, next time!" The next time I want to insult her like this, you must draw her helpless look when she was raped, and I want to keep her like this! Remember? ”

Leng Yi hurriedly bowed down and said, "Weichen remembers." ”

Zhao Guangyi said again: "You find an opportunity to see Mrs. Zheng Guo, see how she is doing, how there is no problem, and when I am well, I will announce her to the palace." ”

Leng Yi hurriedly bowed down and agreed.

―――――――――――― Longxi Mansion.

After Li Yu was summoned to the palace after Xiao Zhou, he has been standing under the corridor and waiting. watched the wind and snow get small and big, big and small, and it wasn't until the evening that I saw Xiao Zhouhou's sedan chair come back.

However, when he saw Xiao Zhouhou coming out of the sedan chair, he was stunned. I saw that Xiao Zhouhou was full of messy hair, looked haggard, wrapped his hands in scarlet daze, limped up the steps, and hurriedly went over to help, but was dodged away by Xiao Zhouhou.

Seeing his wife slowly walking into the house, Li Yu stayed for a moment and followed in.

Xiao Zhouhou was still tightly wrapped in the big coat and stood in front of the bed in a daze. Li Yu walked behind her and whispered, "What's wrong with you?" What's wrong? ”

Xiao Zhouhou turned around suddenly, her pretty face was pale without a trace of blood, but her eyes were full of anger, she suddenly ripped open her big bag, revealing the ragged dress inside, and there were blood marks and bruises on the bare snow-white skin under the dress.

Li Yu was stunned and said, "This ......, what's the matter?" ”

Xiao Zhouhou ripped off the big gun, threw it on Li Yu's head, turned around, threw himself on the bed, and cried loudly.

Li Yu understood, he slowly took the big dan off his head, looked at his wife on the bed, and his heart was full of guilt. Slowly walked over, sat on the edge of the bed, gently stroked the blood on her skin, and cloudy tears rolled down her eyes.

On this day, neither of them spoke.

The next morning, when Xiao Zhou woke up from his dream, it was just dawn.

She turned around, rubbed her eyes, and found that the side of the bed was empty, and her husband Li Yu was not around!

He's not going to find other concubines, is he? Since he became his queen, Li Yu has spent almost every night with him, and has not gone to those concubines. Xiao Zhouhou sometimes feels a little sympathetic to those concubines, but more importantly, she is proud of her charm. But now, her husband is gone, it can't be that he was angry and ignored him last night, so he went to find other concubines, right?

Thinking of this, Xiao Zhouhou's heart was a little gloomy, she got up, opened the curtain, and a cold wind blew in, and she cleverly fought a cold war. Quickly put down the curtain again. I want to go back to sleep, but I have something in my heart, where can I sleep? In the end, I got up, lifted the curtain again, and another cold wind blew, and I couldn't help but turn my head to look, and found that the door was open!

Moreover, from the open doorway, I saw a man standing on a stool, and there seemed to be a cry!

Xiao Zhouhou was taken aback, didn't care about dressing, got out of bed naked, rushed to the door, looked up, and couldn't help but be frightened. I saw a white silk hanging on the beam of the lobby, and her husband Li Yu was stepping on a stool, holding the white silk and crying.

Xiao Zhouhou screamed, rushed over and hugged Li Yu, and said in a trembling voice: "Husband! You! You can't do that! ”

Li Yu looked back at her with tears streaming down his face. Xiao Zhouhou hugged his arms and cried: "I'm sorry, I was bad last night, I shouldn't ignore you, you have to be angry, you can beat me and scold me, but you can't kill yourself!" You said, we're going to grow old together! What would I do if I died......? ”

Li Yu cried even more sadly, and after hugging Xiao Zhou, he choked up and said: "It's not ......, it's not that I want to die...... it's ......, it's the official family...... You want me to die......"

"Huh?" Xiao Zhouhou was shocked, "Is the official family giving death?" She looked around, and there was no one else in the lobby, and the back door and the gate to the outer courtyard were closed and bolted from the inside.

Xiao Zhou let go of her husband, walked to the front door, pulled out the latch, carefully avoided her bare body, opened a crack in the door, and looked through the crack in the door, only to see that there was no one in the yard, except for the heavy snow. Turning around, he asked, "What about the father-in-law who delivered the decree?"

"I don't know......" Li Yu cried.

Xiao Zhouhou felt that something was wrong, and said, "Husband, don't cry first, let's figure things out!" If the official family gives death, there will definitely be a father-in-law who will pass the decree, and there will be a retinue of guards, why is there no one? ”

Li Yu came out and saw the white silk hanging on the beam, so he thought that the official family had died, and he was so frightened that he was crying and crying, and he didn't think much about it. On a snowy day, it is the time to sleep, and the rules of the eunuch's house are very strict, and those who are not serving in the house are absolutely not allowed to enter the main room of the lobby without permission. So they don't need to serve Li Yu and his wife, so they will be idle.

When Li Yu was the emperor, he also gave his ministers to commit suicide, knowing the rules inside, there would definitely be eunuchs and guards to supervise the execution. First of all, the decree is read, and then the minister is watched hanging. If the minister refuses to commit suicide, the eunuch can order the guards to be hanged. But now, there was no one in the lobby, and it didn't look like death.

Li Yu walked over quickly and looked through the crack in the door, and sure enough, there was no one. Then he said to Xiao Zhouhou: "You go back to the house, I'll go out and have a look." ”

Xiao Zhou was nervous and didn't feel cold, but at this moment he knew that it might be a misunderstanding, so he shivered with cold, and hurriedly ran back to the bedroom with his arms twisted his snow-white buttocks and bare little feet, closed the door, and got into the warm quilt.

Li Yu opened the door and came out, walked to the porch of the lobby door, looked around, and sure enough, there were no people from the palace, nor did he see his servants, he shouted in a trembling voice: "Hey! Anyone? Hey! ”

After waiting for a while, an old mother came out of the house with squinted eyes while buttoning the placket of her clothes, and saw that it was Li Yu who was shouting, and hurriedly said loudly: "It's all up!" Hurry up! The old man is called! Don't stand up for the corpse! While calling, he walked through the patio and came to the porch, and Fuli said, "Master, you got up really early today!" Can I help you? ”

Li Yu is a night owl, and he usually doesn't have to go to court, so he doesn't sleep until the second half of the night at night, and he usually doesn't get up until noon. Today is something on my mind, so I got up early, and I didn't expect to encounter such a thing. Scared half to death.

Li Yu said: "Has anyone been in the palace?" ”

The old woman shook her head blankly: "No, madam, no one has ever come." ”

"Where's the porter? Call the porter!! ”

The old woman agreed, and ran to call. At this time, the other people in the courtyard got up one after another, sleepy-eyed, shrunk their hands and feet, and kept breathing with their palms together. They gathered around and asked what was going on. Li Yu pointed to the white silk hanging on the beam of the lobby and said, "Do you know who hung it up?" ”

When everyone saw it, they were all taken aback, and they looked at each other, not understanding what was going on.

At this time, the porter who was in charge of guarding the gate at the gate called and stepped forward to salute. Li Yu asked the question again. The porter hurriedly said: "Since the lord and lady came back last night, no one has been here. Until the old man called me ......"

Li Yuwu was not at ease, and asked again: "Are you sure?" ”

"The villain is convinced." The porter said, "The villain has been guarding the front porter all the time, and he has not slept. Because today is my night shift, if someone comes to the palace, it is impossible not to know. ”

"Makes sense!" Li Yu nodded, only then was he a little relieved, but this question was relieved, and another question also appeared, that is, who hung the white silk in the lobby? And why is it hanging?

Li Yu pointed to the white silk and shouted, "Who hung on it?" Who?! ”

The servants in a courtyard lowered their heads one by one and did not speak, the snow fell one after another, and a few servants ran to the corridor to hide from the snow, Li Yu was furious, if this was in the Southern Tang Palace, as the emperor, he was lecturing, and the palace maids were running around, he would definitely give an order to have a good fight, but now, he can't, because these servants were all sent to him by the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, not his Southern Tang Dynasty. I could only raise my voice and yell: "Are you dumb? Speak! Who hung it up? Say! ”

The old woman in front said: "Master, it is estimated that it was not done by the people in the house, and if there is no master and wife, they will not dare to enter the lobby." ”

"Don't dare? If it was before, of course you wouldn't dare, but now, with my identity, my lord, you didn't ride on my neck and, it's already very good! Where are you still looking at me? ”

I don't know which servant it was, so I secretly laughed, which made Li Yu even more annoyed, and asked, "Who?" Who's laughing down there? ”

The old woman hurriedly played a round and said, "Master, maybe someone from outside came in to do it." ””

"Someone outside?" Li Yu immediately came to his senses and shouted, "Quick! Go and call me the leader of the guards, Lu Feilong! ”

Two servants went out, and it took a long time for Lu Feilong to come over, and he lazily arched his hand and said, "Is there something wrong with the master?" ”

Li Yu had already waited impatiently, and angrily pointed to the white silk on the girder and said, "What's going on?" Who did this to you? ”

Lu Feilong glanced at it and said, "How do I know." ”

Li Yu said angrily: "Why don't you know? You are the leader of the guards! You're responsible for the safety of the entire house! Now that such a big thing has happened, you say you don't know? ”

"What's wrong?" Lu Feilong still lazily rolled his eyes: "Isn't it just hanging a white silk, not a human head!" I am a guard, not a servant, and as long as there are no robbers, it is none of my business. ”

"Why is it none of your business? I can tell you ......."

"I'll tell you first!" Lu Feilong interrupted Li Yu's words loudly, "I am the guard of the Great Song Dynasty, not your guard of the Southern Tang Dynasty, I have the ability to let your guards of the Southern Tang Dynasty serve you!" After that, he turned around and left, saying as he walked: "Don't disturb Lao Tzu's sleep if you have nothing to do in the future!" ”

Li Yu watched Lu Feilong walk away, and his whole body trembled with anger. Holding on to the pillar, looking at the various faces of the servants below, he was even more angry, but in the end he still endured it and waved his hand: "It's okay!" It's all gone! Staggered back to the lobby, and heard someone behind him giggling and learning: "It's okay, don't disturb Lao Tzu to sleep!" - Hee-hee-hee-hee"

Li Yu almost fainted in anger.

Back in the lobby and closing the door, he leaned against the door and stared blankly at the white silk.

Suddenly, an idea popped into his head, and he couldn't help but shudder. hurriedly entered the house, came to the bedside, and whispered to Xiao Zhouhou on the bed: "Could it be ......, it was the official family who sent someone to sneak in and hang this white silk to remind me and ask me to ...... Myself...... What about suicide? ”

Xiao Zhouhou also shuddered and said, "Won't it?" ”

"How not? In the end, I am the lord of the surrendered country, he directly gave me death, and others will say that he cannot tolerate people, who will surrender in the future? So let me kill myself, and he won't be held responsible! Speaking of the back, Li Yu was frightened by his own idea, he felt that this possibility was very big, so big that it was simply an indisputable fact!

Xiao Zhouhou was also scared, and felt that what her husband said was not impossible, but if she died without clarifying this matter, it would be too unjust. It is obviously not advisable to go directly to the emperor to ask, nor can it be. It's better to go to Leng Yi, he is a popular person next to the emperor, and he is very good at solving cases, and most importantly, he is willing to help them and his wife.

Xiao Zhou said: "Don't worry about it first, don't touch this white silk, I'll go and invite Lord Leng Yi Leng and let him take a look!" He is now the magistrate of Kaifeng Mansion, and if something like this happens in our mansion, he should be allowed to check it. ”

Li Yu has no idea, so he naturally listens to Xiao Zhouhou. nodded immediately, but said, "Why don't I go, it will take you half a day to dress up, and it will be a long time." ”

Xiao Zhouhou was feeling weak all over his body, and he didn't want to move, so he nodded: "Then you go and come back quickly." ”

Li Yu didn't freshen up, and went straight out and took a sedan chair to Leng Yi's mansion.

Now that it was just dawn, Leng Yi was having breakfast with Zhuo Qiaoniang. I heard that Li Yu, the Duke of Longxi, came to visit in person, so I hurried to greet him.

Li Yu is a person who is not good at hiding his own thoughts, something will be revealed on his face immediately, Leng Yi knows at a glance that something must have happened to their family, and he can't help but feel nervous, it can't be that Xiao Zhouhou had an accident after returning from the palace yesterday, right?

Leng Yi hurriedly welcomed Li Yu to the warm pavilion study, and the maid withdrew after serving tea. Leng Yi asked in a low voice, "Grandpa came early in the morning, is there something wrong?" ”

Li Yu's eyes were red, he sobbed and shed tears, and choked up: "I don't know if it's an official family, you want me to die......"

Leng Yi was taken aback and said, "What's going on?" ”

"When I woke up in the morning, I found a white silk hanging on the beam of the lobby. I asked the servants and guards at home, and they all said that they didn't know who hung it, and I suspected that the official family wanted me to die, and it was not good to give me death directly, so people quietly sneaked in and hung this white silk to remind me to commit suicide. Speaking of the back, Li Yu didn't know whether it was cold or scared, and his body kept shaking.
