Chapter 385: The Hou Mansion Fire

The medicinal food is served on the table, and the air is hot.

Fang Xu held the porcelain bowl in one hand, scooped a spoonful of soup, blew lightly, and handed it to Shen Ji's mouth.

Shen Ji lowered his head and drank, his cheeks were dyed with a hint of redness, like a hairy boy.

After a bowl of medicinal food, Shen Ji suddenly raised his eyes and looked at her closely, but he didn't say a word.

Fang Xu was inexplicable, and asked softly, "What are you staring at me for?" ”

Shen Ji looked at her with a smile, looking better than Chunshan, "I went to Zhuoxian for a trip, nine deaths, and before I fell into a coma, I only thought about how good it would be if I could see my wife again." ”

Fang Xu's hand holding the spoon tightened, his gaze colliding with him, and he lost his mind.

"Madame, I miss you so much."

Although the words were frivolous, Shen Ji sat straight, and he never crossed the line for half a minute.

The son is like jade, and he is stunning in the world.

Fang Xu's fingertips moved slightly, and he opened his mouth, wanting to respond to his feelings.

"Has Madame ever missed me?"

The words that came to his lips were interrupted by Shen Ji, and Fang Xu raised his eyes and met his smiling eyes.

"Surely I miss it."

Shen Ji spoke to himself, as if he was completely sure.

Fang Xu raised his eyebrows, a little unbearable, "Why are you so confident?" ”

"I see it." Shen Ji tilted his head, with a smile in his eyes, "Madame didn't know that I was here before, but there was tea in the house that I often drank." ”

Fang Xu was surprised, lowered his eyes, looked at the tea cup in his hand, and was speechless for a while.

"Madame likes sweetness, if it weren't for me, how could you prepare a bitter Pu'er?"

Shen Ji stared at her and smiled, and the gloomy color between his eyebrows and eyes had long since dissipated.

"You're careful."

Fang Xu did not deny his words, as far as Shen Ji was concerned, this was a disguised admission.

She missed him.

Shen Ji raised his eyes, the starlight under his eyes was dotted, his gaze fell on her face, and he said softly, "Madam, wait for me for a few days." ”

Fang Xu understood what he meant, bowed his head, and said softly, "Okay." ”

The Temple of Nourishing the Heart

Yuan Chen's brows twisted into a dead knot, staring at the folds on the table, silent.

Xie Li stood alone in the audience, his tone was flat, as if he was saying something inconsequential, "Your Majesty, Xia Zhao has a vicious temperament and villainous behavior, so it is really difficult to take on a big responsibility." ”

Looking at the twists and turns in front of him, Yuan Chen sighed lightly, "Just because he gave you a beautiful maid during Song Niangzi's pregnancy, you have to play, and begging me to demote him is too much to say." ”

"If that's the case, how do others think of you if they see me like this?"

Xie Li's face did not change, he took out a crumpled piece of paper from his arms, and said in a low voice, "What if you add a few more lives?" ”

Yuan Chen raised his eyebrows and glanced at Zhuo Ming beside him.

Zhuo Ming reacted, bowed down and trotted off the stage, took the physical evidence in Xie Li's hand, held it with both hands, and handed it to the emperor.

The paper had long since yellowed, and there was an indescribable sour smell.

Yuan Chen covered his nose, glanced at the audience in some surprise, and said in a low voice, "It's hard for you." ”

With such a heavy taste, Xie Li could bear the nausea and put it in his sleeve.

It seems that Xia Zhao is really angry.

The corners of Xie Li's mouth twitched, and he lowered his eyes, unwilling to see his playful eyes.

Yuan Chen lowered his head, his gaze quickly swept over the words on the paper, his brows became tighter and tighter, and he said in a deep voice, "Xia Zhao is so ......"

"Xia Zhao is very lustful, he likes women the most, he often tortures the maids in the house, and he has several lives in his hands, including his sister, and he has not escaped."

Xie Li's expression was cold, and he said in a low voice, "His sister Xia Miao, who was defiled by him, could not bear the humiliation, and hanged herself at home, but he counted this account on General Song's head, and repeatedly targeted the minister's wife. ”

"What a madman!" Yuan Chen scolded in a low voice, raised his hand and brushed the paper on the table aside, extremely disgusted, "The demotion is cheap for him!" ”

Xie Li unhurriedly took another dose of fierce medicine, "Moreover, before the emperor ascended the throne, he was Cen Zhenjiang's person. ”

"This person is a wolf and a son, leaving him at his side, it is difficult to maintain the tiger, and I ask the emperor to make a decision as soon as possible."

Yuan Chen nodded, looked at Zhuo Ming, and said in a low voice, "Xia Zhao has misbehaved, acted crazy, and brutalized girls, so he doesn't have to be demoted, and he will be directly put into the heavenly prison to die." ”

Zhuo Ming hurriedly responded and whispered, "Yes." ”

-

As the sun sets, there are fewer and fewer pedestrians on the streets, and the vendors are all clamoring for cheap sales, just to get a fare to get home.

Where no one cares, smoke rises.

"The Yongcheng Marquis Mansion is gone!"

I don't know who shouted, breaking the silence, and the people on the street stopped one after another and looked in the direction of the Hou Mansion.

West City Corner, black smoke billowing out.

Xie Li had just come out of the palace, passing by Dongshi, and wanted to bring two sweet cakes to Song Huixin, but when he heard someone talking about the fire, his heart sank inexplicably, and he hurriedly grabbed one of them and asked, "Where is the fire?" ”

When the man saw him, he was stunned, and for a moment, he immediately came to his senses, "Lord Xie, why are you outside?" Let's go home and take a look, the Yongcheng Marquis Mansion has gone to water, the fire is so great that it can't be suppressed! ”

When the words landed, Xie Li only felt that his eyes were black, and the sudden blow made him a little untenable.

"Shizi!"

"Quick...... Go home! ”

Xie Liqiang stabilized his body, raised his feet and rushed in the direction of the carriage, no longer looking calm and relaxed on weekdays.

Yongcheng Houfu is kind and charitable on weekdays, and has accumulated a lot of good popularity, once he suffered, the people also spontaneously followed, to see if they could do something for the nobles.

When the carriage arrived outside the house, Xie Li jumped out of the carriage directly without waiting for the footstool and looked towards his home.

The door of the Hou Mansion was already burnt black, and Zeng Tianya led a group of subordinates to carry water back and forth, but he couldn't suppress the flames.

Yun Heng was guarding the door, his face was black and white, and he couldn't see his original appearance.

Outside the door, Liu Fanyin hugged Xie Yinyin, her eyes were red, and there was Granny Yuan standing on the side, her figure was a little rickety, and Miao Xuan was supporting her.

"Mrs. Shizi, you can't break in!"

Yun Heng saw that Song Huixin beside him was about to move, and quickly stopped her, and raised his voice, "The fire inside is already uncontrollable, if you go in, the little one will want it!" ”

"Let go of me!" Song Huixin's eyes were cracked, staring at the Hou Mansion, his voice was a little hoarse, and he was faintly crying, "My mother is still inside...... I'm going to save her! ”

Yun Heng's body didn't move, let her beat and scold, and never let her in.

"What the hell is going on!"

Xie Li rushed to the door, his eyes were slightly red, his fists clenched tightly, as if he was on the verge of collapse.

Song Huixin heard the familiar voice, looked back, and saw Xie Li, the tears he couldn't hold back finally slipped down, and he raised his voice, "Xie Li, my mother is still inside, save her!" ”

When Xie Li heard this, his face turned pale, and he was about to break in.

"Shizi!" Yun Heng stopped Song Huixin with one hand, and also took care of Xie Li, "The smoke in the backyard is very thick, I can't see people clearly, Uncle Qi told me not to let people in again!" ”

"Let it go." Xie Li stared at him, his tone was frighteningly cold, "It's my mother inside, if I don't save her, who can save her?" ”
