Also having trouble falling asleep is Aunt Xue in the Prime Minister's Mansion.

At the northernmost end of Chengbei Street, the mansion that occupies almost half of the street is Li Chenghai's mansion.

On the main door frame, under the roof tiles, there are painted 'birds' and 'three clouds'! There is a plaque hanging on the horse board above the door hairpin, and there are three vigorous gilded characters on it 'Prime Minister's Mansion'!

Three red-lacquered and oil-decorated gates are lined up.

The stone steps of white marble are paved all the way to the street!

Even the stone lions on both sides are made by master stone carvers. The shape is realistic, mighty and domineering!

At this time, Aunt Xue, who was in Ning Xue's courtyard in the southeast of the house, was lying on the bed, silently shedding tears.

The maid beside her gently comforted, "Auntie, you have a good rest, don't be sad!" Xiangye is in a bad mood tonight, so he will do this to you! You know, Xiangye loved you the most in the past! You see, which of the yard-filled objects is not to your liking? ”

"Baozhu, where did Xiangye go? Did you go to Shumengyuan? Aunt Xue closed her eyes and said softly.

"No, I didn't go to Aunt Shu's. He went to the study, "Baozhu covered her with a quilt," and Steward Kang specially sent Xiaoliu to deliver the letter. Auntie rest assured、"

"Forget it, I can't take care of his business! Let's go and prepare the bath. I want to bathe,"

"Okay, slave and maid, then give orders."

I entered a half-human-tall tub soaked in flower petals.

Aunt Xue's lotus arms, front chest and waist were all exposed.

I saw that these skin were full of bruises and blood marks!

Some were tooth marks, some were choke marks, and a few scraped blood.

Shocking!

"Auntie? Why is Xiang Ye so ruthless! The slave maid still thought that he just, "Baozhu looked at Aunt Xue at a loss, and her voice was a little choked, "The slave maid is going to get the medicine,"

Aunt Xue didn't speak, only nodded slightly.

In the mist, she leaned against the tub and smiled bitterly as she looked at Baozhu holding the gold-painted medicine bottle in her hand.

"This is not the first time, Xiangye will be like this when he is in a bad mood. I am—"

"Auntie, this can't be done, something will happen sooner or later! Slave maid, slave maid, you have to tell the master! ”

"No need! You've been with me for so long, and you still don't know my dad? I'm just the daughter he gave birth to in the outer house, and I won't even be allowed to enter the house. Not to mention the father-daughter relationship! If I didn't have a bit of grace and a little bit of use for him, how would I care if I lived or died! What's the use of talking to him about this? ”

"Auntie, then let's go to Mrs. and say, Mrs. can't leave it alone?"

"Mother? She has always been greedy for money, and she has never taken me to heart! Even if you know, for the sake of glory and wealth, you won't say anything! Besides, Xiangye's power is monstrous, who can fight? I can only force a smile on my face, "

Baozhu put the medicine bottle down and wiped her hair scattered outside the tub in distress.

"Auntie, you used 'Zhu Yanqiao' tonight. Baozhu also thinks that Xiangye must like it very much, and maybe he will let you leave an heir. Who would have thought,"

"I also want to keep an heir and have a person to rely on for the rest of my life. But Xiangye," Aunt Xue's tears slipped down her face unconsciously, "Aunt Shu in Shumengyuan is young, charming and cute, and she is very pleasing to Xiangye." I'm just afraid,"

"She? She's just a dancer brought back from Wanchun Tower? How can you compare with your aunt? ”

Baozhu said unconvinced, "Auntie is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and has a gentle temperament and is polite to others. Even the housekeeper Kang has received your favor. The slave maid thought, Xiangye is a smart person who knows good and bad, "

"Alright, Orb! Don't say any more, help me up," Aunt Xue interrupted her and stretched out her lotus arm.

Helping Aunt Xue to lie on the bed, Baozhu opened the gold-painted medicine bottle, and a strange fragrance came out.

"Auntie, bear with me, the slave will give you medicine,"

"This medicine is a tribute to the country of Ta, and it has a miraculous effect on bruises. Tomorrow morning, these injuries will not be visible. "Aunt Xue's beautiful face is sad and sad." Xiangye doesn't like a bruised body, so he gave it to me. ”

"The slave thinks that the prime minister is elegant and polite, and he will treat you well! Who would have thought that he would be such a person! Jewel grumbled as she drugged it.

"Baozhu, you must always remember that this is the Prime Minister's Mansion. What I said just now, if I let Xiangye hear it, I won't be able to protect you! In the future, I can't say it anymore," Aunt Xue slowly closed her eyes.

"Yes, Orb remembers、"

At this time, in the study room filled with an ambiguous atmosphere.

The petite Yan Shu was sitting on Li Chenghai's lap.

"Xiangye, the slave family knows that Sister Xue has made you angry, and it's all Sister Xue's fault. Is the slave family reluctant to be angry? ”

Her eyes were charming, her breath was like an orchid, and she twisted her slender waist from time to time.

"You little vixen!" Li Chenghai smiled evilly and pinched her waist fiercely, "I know you won't waste this opportunity!" I also like to see you look like a foxy and seductive look. ”

Yan Shu exclaimed, put his arms around Li Chenghai's neck, and his voice was very charming, "Xiangye is most distressed by the slave family, or the slave family will dance for Xiangye to relieve boredom?" ”

As soon as Li Chenghai was about to agree, the voice of Steward Kang came from outside the door.

"Xiangye, Erhei is back、"

"Got it, tell him to wait for me in the side hall!"

"Yes, Xiangye" Steward Kang's figure disappeared.

"Xiangye, can't you accompany the slave family more? Since the slave family came to the house, you'll, "Yan Shujiao got up, but her eyes glanced in the direction of the door.

"Well, you go back first. This is done! I hurt you so well."

"What does Xiangye say counts? The slave family is waiting for Xiangye. Yan Shu was coquettish and reluctantly saluted.

Out of the door of the study, she caught a glimpse of the dark shadow that had entered the side hall.

'Golden Eagle Guard? Coming to the Prime Minister's Mansion in the middle of the night? What does Li Chenghai want to do? She lowered her head and pondered as she walked, "I've been in the Prime Minister's Mansion for a few days, and I haven't been out of Shumeng Courtyard." I finally got a chance tonight, and I was disturbed by the Golden Eagle Guard.

She was so contemplative that she didn't notice the steps on the side of the road, and stumbled up all at once.

"Oops,"

"Auntie, it's dark outside, watch your step." The maid next to her hurriedly supported her.

Yan Shu's face immediately changed, and he shouted, "Are they all dead? I don't know how to light the way. If you break me, Xiangye won't be able to spare you! ”

"The aunt is angry, and the little ones don't dare. Quick, get some more lanterns."

Watching the people run to get the lanterns,

"I'm scared to death," she patted her chest, calming her emotions.

shouted with a fierce face, "I'm not as good at talking as Sister Xue." You don't serve me well, be careful I tell Xiangye, let your heads move! ”

After saying that, she held her head high, twisted her waist and walked forward, like a peacock scratching her head and tail.

In the side hall, a picture of a gold-painted tiger is hung on the main wall of the hall, and a bronze crane lotus vertical candlestick stands on both sides of the picture, which is particularly eye-catching!

On the long red sandalwood coffee table in front of the main seat, there is a set of precious tea sets with glazed red clusters and rich peonies.

Erhei, who was wearing the uniform of the Golden Eagle Guard, looked at everything in front of him, looking nervous, like sitting on pins and needles!

"Lord Erhei has worked hard!"

As the voice came, he quickly stood up and saluted.

"The lower official sees the Xiangye! When the matter is done, the subordinate officials come to report their lives."

"The adults do things neatly and neatly, and they are very pleased. You may be seated."

"Thank you, Xiangye,"

Steward Kang personally came in with a tray to serve tea.

I heard Li Chenghai speak, "My lord, although this matter was handled cleanly and decisively. But I'm afraid the identity of the Golden Eagle Guard can't be hidden. ”

"Exactly, the old couple confessed to the Golden Eagle Guard in the Rong Mansion. The subordinate officials had no choice but to take action, and they had to seriously injure the person who was being tracked down with 'a hundred flowers blooming'. ”

"Do you know who sent the person who pursued him?"

"It's Rong Nanxing, the third lady in the Rong Mansion. This is the person next to her, with good martial arts, and Xia Guan was almost caught up by her. If it weren't for the 'Hundred Flowers Blooming, Just,'

"Rong Nanxing?" Li Chenghai sat on the main seat, gently touched a red group rich peony teacup, and smiled evilly, "This little girl is really getting more and more pleasing to her true appearance."

"Xiangye, what should I do next?" Erhei was nervous.

"Recently, Dali Si played and found a number of corpses with unknown causes of death in Zhaocheng. They suspect that someone is secretly plotting against them. The Holy Lord has clearly ordered that Yuan Gang of the Yong'an Division be sent to investigate this matter! Li Chenghai raised his eyes and looked at him.

Seeing Erhei looking at him inexplicably, he smiled faintly, "Erhei, are you willing to go to Dali Division to be a servant?" ”

"Servants?" Erhei was stunned, and then grinned, "Thank you for arranging." The lower official is grateful, "

Before he could finish speaking, Li Chenghai interrupted him with a smile.

"Don't be too busy thanking me yet, I have conditions."

"Xiangye, please say, the lower officials listen to Xiangye for everything,"

"Good!"

Li Chenghai got up and walked to his side and patted him on the shoulder, "In the future, you will have to pass on all the actions of the Dali Division to the true picture." If your identity is leaked or you are found by Rong Nanfeng in the future, you know what to do! You know the means of the Golden Eagle Guard, and you know better the means of the true phase! If it is because of this matter, it will affect relatives, but the gains outweigh the losses! ”

"Xiaguan, understand," Erhei was so frightened that he quickly knelt on the ground.

"Of course, if you are obedient, you still can't bear to hurt people's lives!" Li Chenghai leaned over slightly, spread out his palm, and inside was a black pill, "Don't blame me, after all, I still left your life!" ”

"Yes," Erhei trembled and picked up the pill and put it in his mouth.

"On the tenth day of the first month of each month, go to the Tianjin Silk Village in the north of the city to get the antidote!" Li Chenghai didn't look at him and went straight back to the main seat.

"Xiaguan, remember," Erhei grimaced and slowly got up.

Li Chenghai stopped talking, leaned back in the chair, and waved his hand.

"Then the official will leave!" Erhei saluted and stepped back.

Steward Kang looked at Erhei with his head down and walked out of the door of the side hall with an ugly face.

He came in softly and asked, "Xiangye, it's late at night." The old slave sent someone to Shumengyuan to prepare? ”

"No need. Let them all rest. Li Chenghai got up and walked out of the side hall.

After just a few steps, he turned back and asked, "What's going on in Ning Xue Courtyard?" ”

"Nothing happens! Aunt Xue took a bath, took medicine, and fell asleep! ”

"Okay, you can go down too." He nodded slightly. Glancing in the direction of Ning Xue Courtyard, he turned around and walked towards the study.
