North Hill.

Royal Villa.

Wei Jun knelt in front of Emperor Yongchang, who was wearing a loose nightgown.

Pang Yun complained to Wei Jun.

Wei Jun naturally complained to Emperor Yongchang.

Although Emperor Yongchang strictly prohibited all officials from disturbing his "pure repairs", Wei Jun, a close confidant in charge of the Supervision Department, was an exception.

"Your Majesty, Bai Shaocheng is so domineering, it is tantamount to rebellion." Wei Jun said this, undoubtedly reminding Emperor Yongchang that this was a good opportunity to get rid of Bai Shaocheng.

"Your subordinate is even more domineering. When the late emperor was in power, Fan Wenbing, who was under one person, had to maintain a superficial courtesy when meeting the first-rank officials in the court. Now, the fifth-rank captain ordered Zuo Lu, the deputy governor of the Northern Territory Governor's Mansion, to The general manager gives way, which is the most embarrassing thing in the world."

Emperor Yongchang's words shocked Wei Jun.

Doesn't the emperor not want to kill Bai Shaocheng?

Wei Jun was flustered.

"This is not a crime. If it comes to court, none of the civil and military officials, especially those in high positions, will support you. They will even treat you as an enemy and refute you."

Emperor Yongchang glanced at Wei Jun as if he was stupid, turned around and walked towards the back hall, saying as he walked: "Go away, if you bother me Qingxiu with such nonsense again, it's not Bai Shaocheng who's going to lose his head, it's you."

After the footsteps of Emperor Yongchang faded away, Wei Jun, who was kneeling on the ground, dared to stand up, his face a little ugly.

"Your Supervision Department no longer needs to keep an eye on Bai Shaocheng. When Bai Shaocheng returns to Shengjing this time, don't even think about leaving alive."

Emperor Yongchang's cold voice echoed in the hall.

Wei Jun's heart dropped, he bowed respectfully and said loudly: "Yes!"

The next day.

Changxing Hou Mansion.

The servants got up early and were busy.

Chen Hao opened the door and raised his face to enjoy the bright sunshine and fresh air.

"Master Hou!"

The four maids who were already waiting outside the door, ready to enter the room at any time to serve Chen Hao, saluted at the same time.

"Shh..."

Chen Hao put a finger in front of his lips, signaling the four maids to keep their voices down so as not to wake up Xiyu who was still sleeping.

The four maids were very happy to see Chen Hao being so considerate to Xiyu.

They followed Siyu to the Hou Mansion. They were most afraid that Siyu would not be favored and would suffer accordingly.

In the back room, Xiyu opened her eyes, turned around and found that the man she loved was not on the bed. She hurriedly got up and shouted: "Master Hou..."

"You slept too late last night. If you sleep a little longer, I'll go for a walk in the garden." Chen Hao's voice came into the room.

Xiyu felt warm in her heart.

early morning.

The water flows in the garden and the birds chirp.

For the first time, Chen Hao seriously experienced the beauty of this large garden. The pavilions, rockeries and flowing water are all unique.

He finally felt like this mansion was like a home, and then thought of a home in another world.

From the time of Emperor Yongxing's personal expedition to the present, a year has passed, which also means that he has been away from his relatives and loved ones for a year.

A year is not long, but he knows that every day of this year is difficult for those who care about him.

Standing on the stone arch bridge for a long time, he exhaled the turbid air in his chest.

Become a god of war.

Arrange the old subordinates well.

After doing all this, he reunited with his family.

The sound of footsteps approaching from far away interrupted Chen Hao's chaotic thoughts.

"Master Hou..."

Siyu came to Chen Hao with two maids.

"Don't you want to sleep a little longer?" Chen Hao turned around and asked Xiyu with a smile.

"Master Marquis is up, how can I sleep too much?" Xiyu looked at her handsome lover, feeling very happy and satisfied, with a smile on her face.

"Does it still hurt down there?"

Chen Hao asked Siyu casually.

Xiyu blushed instantly and shook her head shyly.

Xiyu's reaction made Chen Hao realize that his question just now was too straightforward for women in this world.

"Walk with me."

Chen Hao held Xiyu's hand and walked across the stone arch bridge without letting the maid follow.

"How long will the Marquis stay back this time?"

"I'm just reporting on my work. I won't be here for a long time, a month at most."

"Can the slave family follow the Marquis to the north?"

"The north is dangerous. A weak woman like you should stay in the Holy Capital."

"Oh……"

The two of them walked and talked.

Siyu accidentally mentioned that there was no news from Ruhua.

"No news?"

Chen Hao turned to look at Xiyu.

Xiyu nodded and said: "Fan Louhe's mother said that Ruhua left the Holy Capital with a nobleman, and before Ruhua disappeared, she told a sister of Fanlou that she would soon become the most noble woman in the world."

"The most noble woman, the queen..." Chen Hao couldn't help but frown, thinking that the noble person Fan Louhe's mother called might be Emperor Yongchang.

"Queen?"

Xiyu was stunned.

Chen Hao stopped, stared into the distance, and said deeply: "Maybe Ruhua is no longer alive."

"Not in this world..."

The jade-like face is eclipsed.

"This is just my guess." Chen Hao saw that Xiyu was a little worried and comforted her.

"I hope Ruhua is safe and sound." Xiyu said this from the heart.

"You used to compete with her for being the courtesan, but now you care about her a lot." Chen Hao looked at Siyu with a smile.

"Before entering the Marquis Mansion, I was in the same situation as her. The death of a rabbit and a fox would hurt other animals, let alone people." Xiyu revealed her true feelings.

"What goes around comes around."

The four words Chen Hao said to Xiyu were profound.

Xiyu knew that the person she loved deeply said that she was kind, so she smiled, and this smile made the whole country and the city charming.

Comparable to the eldest princess.

Chen Hao secretly commented on Xiyu.

A maidservant ran up to the two of them panting and saluted: "Master Marquis, someone from the Longyang County Prince's Palace is here. They are waiting for Master Marquis in the front yard."

"So early..." Chen Hao concluded that the person coming was Bai Yunfei. He felt helpless and said to Xiyu, "I'm going to the front yard."

"Don't you want to have breakfast first?"

"Eat in the front yard."

Chen Hao said goodbye to Siyu and went to the front yard.

Along the way, maids, servants, and gardeners saluted Chen Hao, and soldiers were already patrolling the front yard.

This is the pomp and circumstance that a top-notch wealthy family should have.

As Chen Hao expected, the person drinking tea in the main hall of the second courtyard on the central axis of the Hou Mansion was Bai Yunfei.

"Fortunately I got up early."

Chen Hao teased Bai Yunfei.

Bai Yunfei put down his tea cup and said to Chen Hao: "I wanted to come here last night and endured it all night."

Chen Hao sat down and said with a smile: "In such a hurry, could it be that something happened to Bai Clan?"

Bai Yunfei frowned and asked Chen Hao, "Do you know that the emperor will only select one person in this draft, and she will be directly promoted to Concubine Li?"

"I heard about it." Chen Hao responded to Bai Yunfei quite casually, obviously not caring much about what kind of woman Emperor Yongchang was looking for.

"It's enough to be directly promoted to Concubine Li. I went to the Beishan Royal Courtyard to clean up my affairs. I didn't take the queen with me, but I only took this Concubine Li with me!"

Bai Yunfei looked solemn at the end.

"Are you worried that Concubine Li will replace the queen?" Chen Hao asked with a smile.

Bai Yunfei said, "I still understand the emperor's character. I have never been so interested in a woman in all these years."

Chen Hao looked at the worried Bai Yunfei, and his smile gradually disappeared. If he hadn't really sensed the crisis, this "fourth grandpa" wouldn't have been like this.

"With the ancestor gone, the White Clan has lost its biggest support. It is not impossible for Concubine Li to trick the emperor into finding fault with the White Clan, thus dethroning the queen."

Bai Yunfei expressed his worries.

"What is Li Fei's background?" Chen Hao was curious.

"Her surname is Yu, and her name is Yu Ji. She participated in the draft as the niece of Marquis Jingyuan. However, I sent people to verify that Marquis Jingyuan has no relatives named Yu. She may be a folk woman the emperor met during his southern tour." Bai Yunfei guessed.

"Folk girl."

Chen Hao became more and more curious about what kind of folk woman could make the cold-blooded Emperor Yongchang fascinated.
