After being a widow for half my life, I found out that my husband was not dead.

There was no way to go out the front door, so Liu Yunxiang returned home through the small door in the backyard.

Yan Mu came back when it was almost time for dinner, with a dark face, obviously suffering from the stench at the door of the house.

"Once or twice, it's not over. I really think that I, the Prince of Zhenbei, are easy to bully!" Yan Mu said through gritted teeth.

Liu Yunxiang shook his head and smiled, "Looking at his figure, he looks like a young man."

"Little bastard, he's finished!"

With that said, Yan Mu walked out.

"What are you doing, haven't you eaten yet?"

"The feces and urine are splashed at the door of my house, how can I eat it?"

Seeing Yan Mu storming out, Liu Yunxiang looked at the sumptuous meal on the table and thought of the yellow soup at the door, and immediately lost his appetite. She asked Jinyan to take care of the two children, and she went back to her room to rest first.

Not long after, Zijin came back.

"That kid is like a loach, crawling around in the alleys. My servants and I got to him several times, but we still let him escape." Zijin spread his hands.

"That's all, I think he won't dare to do it next time."

Zi Jin shook his head and said, "This guy told us to wait, and he will send a bucket tonight."

"tonight?"

"Said it was tonight. His Highness was very angry. He was guarding the front yard and said he must catch that person."

Liu Yunxiang was helpless, "There must be a reason for him to cause trouble for our palace, right?"

"The steward asked, guess what he said."

"what?"

"He thought the color of our door was not good-looking and asked us to change it."

The painted red door is the same color as the doors of official houses. It is not a good-looking thing.

"He asked our house to replace it with a black door. If we don't change it, he will pour yellow soup on our door every day, and it will be smoked black."

Liu Yunxiang took a deep breath. This kid was crazy and unreasonable. No wonder Yan Mu was so angry.

It was not until midnight that Yan Mu had not returned to the house. In the dead of winter, Liu Yunxiang took a cloak and a lantern and came to the front yard. The nurses in the front yard stood ready, each holding a spear, but it was too cold, so they stamped their feet from time to time.

Liu Yunxiang walked around but didn't see Yan Mu. After asking the housekeeper, he found out that he was on the wall. She took a few steps closer and saw a dark shadow on the wall. She called out and he jumped down.

"It's cold at night, why are you here?" Yan Mu said and shrank.

Liu Yunxiang handed him the cloak in a funny manner, "You should go back to the house and rest first. You have to go to court tomorrow morning."

Yan Mu snorted, "He threw dirt on our door and actually said he would come back tonight. He is so arrogant. When I catch him, I will make him lick the dirt he got on the floor!" "

Seeing Yan Mu's angry look, Liu Yunxiang couldn't help but laugh.

"why are you laughing?"

Liu Yunxiang shook her head. She was used to seeing Yan Mu's confident and deep-seated look. He was so fussy and even childish, which made her feel a little...cute.

It was especially cold at night, and he was shivering with cold, and he was brave enough to say that he would not give up until he caught someone tonight.

At this time, there was the sound of a watch outside, and it was already the third watch.

Liu Yunxiang thought for a moment and said, "I guess that boy won't come tonight."

"Not coming? Are you scared?" Yan Mu raised his eyebrows.

Liu Yunxiang glanced at the guards who had stayed up most of the night and were now exhausted. "Maybe he said this on purpose to make you wait all night in such a cold night."

Yan Mu's mind turned and his face turned darker immediately, "You mean he deliberately played tricks on us?"

Liu Yunxiang coughed dryly and said, "I guessed it too."

Yan Mu cursed in a low voice and immediately called the housekeeper over and asked him to arrange patrol while the others went back to rest.

"Your Highness, no more arrests?" the housekeeper was puzzled.

"Catch him, I will catch him sooner or later!"

Yan Mu gritted his teeth in anger, then hugged Liu Yunxiang and returned to the backyard.

Early the next morning, Yan Mu was so angry that it was a little late. He hurriedly got dressed and went to court. Sure enough, it was still too late. The emperor rolled his eyes at him but didn't say anything.

The New Year's Eve is coming soon, and the treasure sealing ceremony will be held today, and the court will not start until the [-]th.

During the next court session, many officials came to care about Yan Mu and asked him if the house was clean, who had been offended, and whether the person who threw shit and urine was caught.

Yan Mu casually said a few words, but when he saw Shangguan Xu coming out, he deliberately slowed down and waited for him to come over.

"His Majesty Seventh, it seems that he didn't sleep well last night, look at these two dark circles." Shangguan Xu said with concern on his face.

Shangguan Xu was a eunuch and should have gone to court, but the emperor allowed him to go to court to discuss affairs, which was a precedent. However, Shangguan Xu usually didn't speak in the court, and it was as if he was there, so the civil and military officials didn't care too much.

In recent days, Shangguan Xu took leave due to physical discomfort and has not been in court for more than half a month.

Yan Mu looked sideways at him, his expression was indeed haggard, and he coughed from time to time, as if he was really sick.

"The Governor is getting older after all, and has a lot more gray hair." Yan Mu sighed.

Shangguan Xu was startled for a moment, then smiled bitterly, "Yes, His Highness has grown up, and this servant should also grow old."

"Tsk, tsk, I'm afraid I haven't had the chance to touch you, so you'll be laid to rest first, and then I'll have to dig your grave. I won't be relieved after all." Yan Mu snorted.

When Shangguan Xu heard this, he laughed loudly, "I have lived happily for decades. It doesn't matter if I die and have my body whipped and exposed. I'm afraid Your Highness is not lucky enough to live to old age!"

Yan Mu narrowed his eyes: "I won't live to be old, and you won't be able to see it anyway."

Shangguan Xu coughed several times and his breath was a little unsteady, "Your Highness, you don't care about the slaves and came here to greet me, right?"

Yan Mu glanced at him and said, "You are thinking too much."

"I don't dare to think too much."

"The case of Yanzhou Futai Yang Xun has been investigated clearly. Although 100 million taels have not been found, it will not affect the entire case. When the spring comes, the person is sent to the execution ground and the case will be closed. Speaking of which Yanzhou is also considered a piece of fat, but you did not take the opportunity to snatch this piece of fat, but instead brought it to my lips. There must be a fraud in this."

Shangguan Xu took a few breaths and said: "As His Highness said, there is no need to investigate this case. When spring comes, you can send Yang Xun to the execution ground. As for the fat meat of Yanzhou, if His Highness can eat it, then This is also His Highness’s ability.”

"What do you mean?"

"It means..." After saying this, Shangguan Xu smiled, and then patted Yan Mu on the shoulder, "We can't chew this piece of fat, and we don't want to make a fuss, so we can only push it to His Highness."

After Shangguan Xu said this, he left first.

Yan Mu narrowed his eyes. It seemed that he needed to re-investigate Yang Xun's case.

It’s just that the New Year’s Day is coming, and the government office has sealed the door, so we can only wait until after the New Year.

But when I returned to the house, I smelled a stench before I even got close, and there were many people watching the excitement around. When he thought of something, his face immediately darkened. He dismounted and wormed his way through the crowd. He saw the housekeeper leading his servants to clean the door and mop the floor. Everyone had their noses blocked and looked like they were about to faint.

Sure enough, it caused a lot of trouble!
