People always think I'm a broken sleeve

Bizhu stood blankly in Su Bian's room, looking at the empty room in front of her, she couldn't help feeling a little dazed for a moment.

... Is your lord going out for something?

Bizhu thought, then sat in the room and waited slowly.

But she sat alone in the room and waited and waited, but she still didn't wait for Su Bian to appear.

Nothing but empty air.

Bizhu couldn't wait any longer.

So she boldly stood up and searched for the baggage on the table.

She remembered that when she and the adults left the house, they brought 100 taels of silver.On the way, she and the adults spent nearly 20 taels of silver...

Bizhu opened Su Bian's baggage and took a look, then opened the purse and counted.

No more, no less, 80 taels of silver.

After counting, Bizhu closed the bundle again in some puzzlement.

no silver...

Where did the adult go?

Did you go to relieve yourself?

But it's been so long, it's time for the adults to come back.

The more Bizhu thought about it, the more puzzled she became, so she leaned out of the room and stopped the waiter who was passing by outside the shop.

Bizhu said: "Hey! Xiaoer!"

The waiter in the shop stepped forward and asked, "What is the guest officer's order?"

Bizhu frowned, pointed to the room behind her, and asked, "Where is the guest living in this room? Have you ever seen where he went?"

The waiter looked in the direction of Bizhu's finger, and immediately remembered what happened last night.

The shop clerk opened his mouth, his expression hesitant to speak, not knowing whether to speak or not.

Bizhu saw that the waiter in the shop knew the inside story at a glance, so she went up without saying a word and grabbed the other's neck with her arms.

Bizhu said in a rough voice: "Say! Where have we adults gone!"

The waiter couldn't breathe, and hurriedly begged for mercy: "Young ones, talk about the younger ones! Auntie, please let go first and then talk..."

Bizhu snorted coldly, and then let go.

The shop clerk coughed twice, and then said slowly: "A group of officers and soldiers came last night, and then... will... take your lord away!"

After hearing this, Bizhu frowned, and retorted without hesitation: "It is said! My lord did not commit a crime! It is impossible to commit a crime! How could he take my lord away! Besides, my lord

But the dignified Qipin county magistrate—”

The shop clerk looked aggrieved, "You asked me how I knew... Anyway, your lord was taken away by officers and soldiers last night."

Bizhu asked again: "Who caught it? Who led the officers and soldiers?"

The waiter shook his head, "I don't know."

Bizhu wanted to ask again, but at this time the shopkeeper was calling the waiter in the shop to greet the guests.

Hearing the shopkeeper's voice, the waiter in the store seemed to have saved his life, and said "little one, go downstairs" to greet the guests, and then slipped away.

Now there is only Bizhu left in place.

Bi Zhu stood where she was, the more she thought about it, the more bewildered her expression became.

Who was it that captured their adults?

Why do you want to arrest her family?

My lord just arrived in the capital yesterday, why was he taken away at night? Could it be that the edict to come to the capital is just a trap?

No, she should think of a way to rescue the adults now.

But the problem is...

Now she doesn't know who or why the lord was taken away, let alone what the lord's situation is now... How can she save him?

The more Bizhu thought about it, the more at a loss and flustered she couldn't help.

Her lord... now won't be...

At this time, the Taiqing Academy.

Su Bian sat quietly in the cell with a calm expression.

The prisoners next to him were basically prisoners who would be pushed to the Meridian Gate and beheaded within a few days.

The prisoners in the cells of the Taiqing Court were all related to court officials or relatives of the emperor.

Basically, he can be regarded as a person of considerable status.

Just like Huo Zun before, if he wasn't the son of the magistrate, he would have been beheaded in Ningxiang long ago.

Because of his status, he is basically pampered.

And the prison, no matter how big it is, cannot change the nature of its cells.

Therefore, even the prison cells of the Taiqing Court still cannot avoid rats, cockroaches and other disgusting things.

The group of pampered prisoners in the cell screamed and jumped in frightened by the rats in the cell.

On the other hand, Su Bian can't be silent.Even if a mouse ran past his eyes, he didn't react.

Although the cell is damp and cold, and there is no quilt, the environment can be said to be desolate.But in Su Bian's eyes, it was much better than Xuanfu.

In Xuanfu, the banquet was full of Han and Han people, the lights were brightly lit, and there were countless maids and servants waiting on them, it was completely the same as the scene in the prison.

But for some reason, when Su stayed in the Xuanfu, his back always felt a little chilly.

It's as if the wind is blowing, it's chilling to the bone.

Su Bian remained silent, causing the prisoners in the arm cell to look sideways.

The inmates in the cell next door tried to find out Su Bian's identity several times, but they were all ignored by the latter.

Around Maoshi, Ji Yixiao, who said last night that he would be interrogated again today, finally appeared.

As soon as Ji Yixiao appeared, the prison, which was still so quiet just now, immediately rang out one after another crying for grievances.

"Master Taiwei, I was wronged!"

"Master Taiwei, I was framed by someone! I hope Lord Taiwei and Lord Shaoqing will find out!"

"Master Taiwei..."

"Master Shaoqing—"

Qiu Qingxi and Ji Yixiao walked all the way, and there were several people calling for grievances along the way.

The two ignored it directly and walked to the door of Su Bian's cell.

Qiu Qingxi cast a glance at the jailer behind him, "Open the cell door."

The jailer responded, "Yes, my lord."

After answering, he was afraid that he would make the two of them unhappy if he took a step too late, so he hurriedly opened the cell door.

After opening the cell door, Ji Yixiao lifted his foot and walked in.

Ji Yixiao lowered his eyes, looked at Su Bian who was still calm, and asked, "Master Zhuang, what do you want to say?"

Su Bian said expressionlessly, "I don't know what the Taiwei is referring to."

Su Bian was telling the truth.

Because of Su Bian's memory, the weak emperor didn't say anything except some words that had no nutritional value at all.

And Su Bian knew that what Ji Yixiao wanted to hear was not about how beautiful Sister Luhe is, how terrible Guowei Xuanyue is, and other nonsense without yin and yang.

He does not mean that.

Yesterday the Emperor Jin would rather read the Four Books and Five Classics ten times than open his mouth, and now Su Bian stayed in the cell for one night and still refused to reveal a word.

Even if there is really nothing, in Ji Yixiao's eyes, it looks more and more like there is something ulterior.

But Chenshi is the time to go to court, although Ji Yixiao is patient, but now is not the time for interrogation.

Ji Yixiao turned around and said: "This official still needs to go to court, and this matter will be handed over to Mr. Qiu for trial."

Qiu Qingxi responded, "Yes."

Ji Yixiao turned and left, Qiu Qingxi looked back at the jailer waiting aside, and said, "Bring Zhuang Duxin to the execution room."

The jailer responded, and then prepared to take Su Bian out of the cell.

Unexpectedly, Su Bian was very cooperative. Before the jailer entered the cell, Su Bian got up and walked out.

Qiu Qingxi stared at Su Bian's extremely cooperative, calm and composed back, for some reason, for the first time, he felt an unpleasant feeling in his heart.

In short, it is...

accurate.

However, what Qiu Qingxi didn't know was that the person in front of him that made him uncomfortable——

is his future boss.

Joy Inn.

The more she thought about it, the more uneasy Bizhu couldn't help sobbing in Su Bian's room.

What should she do if something happens to the lord?It's all her fault, she slept too hard to look at the adults well...

woo woo woo...

Bizhu was crying in Su Bian's room. Downstairs, Wan Gaozhan, who was ordered to invite Su Bian, had already arrived outside the door of Yuelai Inn in a sedan chair.

The fact that Wan Gaozhan is in charge of Xuanfu is known to everyone in the capital.It can even be said that as long as meeting Wan Gaozhan, it is like meeting Xuanyue.

So, when Wan Gaozhan got off the sedan chair, the shopkeeper and waiter of the Yuelai Inn hurried up to greet him.

The shopkeeper and the waiter smiled flatteringly and said, "What kind of wind brought Master Wan here?"

Wan Gaozhan walked into the store without even looking at the dog-legged two.As soon as Wan Gaozhan entered the inn, the noisy and noisy first floor suddenly disappeared.

The shopkeeper followed Wan Gaozhan into the store. He took a look at the store and suddenly became breathless. The trembling customers couldn't help but wiped their sweat with their hands.

In the capital, anyone can be messed with, except Xuanyue.

Even if it's just the stewards in Xuanfu, there is no exception.

Wan Gaozhan seemed to be used to the scene in the inn where no one dared to speak. He walked upstairs without looking at him, and asked without looking back: "I brought a bag with you yesterday.

A maidservant in Tsing Yi, which room does the young master who is five feet three tall live in? "

Wan Gaozhan's words fell, and the voices of the shopkeeper and the waiter behind him choked.

After a pause of two seconds, the shopkeeper said, "It's in room C at the address on the second floor."

After hearing this, Wan Gaozhan raised his foot and walked in the direction of the shopkeeper's shop.

The shopkeeper and the waiter followed behind, took two steps, and finally couldn't hold back, and said tremblingly: "This young master... I don't know what he did, and he was taken away by the officers and soldiers.

"

After the shopkeeper finished speaking, Wan Gaozhan paused, turned his head to look in the direction of the shopkeeper, and asked with a frown, "What?"

Yesterday that 'Zhuang Duxin' stayed with the emperor all afternoon, and even stayed in the Xuanfu all night before leaving, there was no chance of committing crimes.

Moreover, no matter how you look at it, the indifferent appearance of 'Zhuang Duxin' does not seem to have the temperament to commit crimes.

The shopkeeper looked at Wan Gaozhan's face that instantly sank, and dared not speak.

Wan Gaozhan asked again, "Why?"

The shopkeeper quickly shook his head, "This... I don't know either. Yesterday the officers and soldiers came looking for someone with the portrait of the young master... After finding the young master, they took him away. The shop doesn't know what happened after that.

Got it. "

Wan Gaozhan pondered.

If that 'Zhuang Duxin' did nothing wrong...

Perhaps it can only be related to the emperor.

And if it's related to the emperor...

It can only be Taiwei Ji Yixiao.

'Zhuang Duxin' arrived in the capital yesterday afternoon, and then stayed with the emperor.Afterwards, he stayed in the Xuanfu at night, and only left the Xuanfu at a very late hour.

In the middle of the night, there was no one on the street.

Except for doing some sneaky things, there is no chance of committing crimes at all.

After thinking about it, Wan Gaozhan already had an estimate in his heart.

Wan Gaozhan turned around, ready to return to Xuanfu to report to Xuanyue.

Just as Wan Gaozhan turned to leave, a sobbing sound came from not far away.

Wan Gaozhan paused.

Just when Wan Gaozhan was about to ignore it and leave, the shopkeeper thought that the crying had offended Wan Gaozhan, took two steps forward, looked at his eyes, then turned around and explained to Wan Gaozhan: "It's the boss

The servant girl who was close to the son was crying when she learned that the son was taken away by the officers and soldiers. "

... Zhuang Duxin's maid?

After hearing this, Wan Gaozhan took back the foot that was about to walk.

... If you just go back empty-handed like this, you will definitely make your master unhappy.

After thinking about it, Wan Gaozhan turned around and walked towards Bizhu's direction.

Wan Gaozhan came to the last room of the place. He stood outside the door and raised his hand. He knocked on the door lightly and said, "Please trouble this girl and come down here."

Bizhu was crying, how could she be in any mood.

She raised her hand to wipe away her tears, then continued to sob and say, "I'm not free!"

Wan Gaozhan didn't change his face, "Then dare I ask, is this girl a family member of Mr. Zhuang, the magistrate of Ningxiang County?"

Hearing Mr. Zhuang's three words, Bizhu's crying stopped abruptly.Bizhu turned her head, looked at Wan Gaozhan, stared wide-eyed and said, "You arrested my lord?!"

Wan Gaozhan looked calm, "You'll know as soon as the girl goes."

Bizhu looked at Wan Gaozhan's expression, stood up suspiciously, and walked towards Wan Gaozhan.

But when she was about to walk to the door, Bi Zhu seemed to suddenly think of something again, turned her head around, and hugged the bundle that Su Bian had arranged in the house tightly in her arms.

There is still money in the baggage, the adults are not here, and she is not here, what if it is stolen by some treacherous person?

Bizhu hugged her bag tightly and walked back to Wan Gaozhan.

Bizhu said: "Let's go!"

Wan Gaozhan turned around without saying a word.

Bizhu hugged her bag tightly and followed with a serious face.

Wan Gaozhan came in two sedan chairs. Of course, his purpose was to carry Su Bian to Xuanfu.

Now that Su Bian is away, the sedan chair happens to be used by his maid, Bizhu.

As a maid, this is the first time for Bizhu to sit in a soft sedan chair, but now she is so preoccupied with who has captured her lord, that she has no intention of observing the sedan chair at all.

After the two left the inn, they boarded the sedan chair and arrived in Xuanfu very quickly.

The sedan chair was carried into the side door of the Xuan Mansion and then put down. As soon as Wan Gaozhan lifted the curtain of the sedan chair, the servants in the Xuan Mansion quickly greeted him.

The servants bowed their heads, stood in front of Wan Gaozhan, and respectfully called out, "Director."

Wan Gaozhan said kindly, and lowered his eyes to glance at Bizhu.

Bi Zhu didn't say much, and raised her heel.

The family in Xuanfu has a great business, with pavilions, towers and pavilions, and the garden is full of fragrant flowers.

The simple yamen in Ningxiang is completely incomparable with this place.

Even the guards stationed in the mansion are much taller and tougher than the few yamen servants in the yamen.

If it was the past, Bi Zhu would definitely not be able to help admiring it.But now, apart from her own adults, she couldn't put anything else in her mind.

Bizhu hurriedly followed Wan Gaozhan all the way to the West Wing Hall where Xuanyue was located. When she saw Xuanyue lying on the soft bunk, Bizhu was anxious to open her mouth to ask where her lord was.

After receiving it, Xuan Yue who was on the soft bunk glanced lightly, and was so frightened that he immediately fell silent.

Bizhu swallowed her saliva timidly, looked at Wan Gaozhan at the side, and asked in a low voice, "Where... I... Where is my lord?"

It was clear that Wan Gaozhan was going to pick up Su Bian, but he brought back a girl who didn't know where she came from.

Xuan Yue frowned and glanced at Bi Zhu in front of him, with a slightly disgusted expression.

The more she looked at Bi Zhu's frightened and timid appearance, the more Xuan Yue missed Su Bian's expressionless face in front of her, and the slightly disgusted appearance in the conflict.

Seeing this, Wan Gaozhan explained aloud: "This is Zhuang Duxin's personal servant girl."

When he heard that it was the maid beside Su Bian, the disgust in Xuan Yue's eyes immediately faded a lot.

Xuan Yue glanced at the waiter who was waiting at the side, the servant understood and brought Bi Zhu a chair to sit down on.

Probably because she didn't expect that Xuanyue, who seemed to have a bad temper, would give her a seat. Bizhu sat down awkwardly, very flattered.

After sitting down, Bizhu couldn't help but asked in a low voice, "Well...do you know where my lord is?"

Xuanyue did not respond, Wan Gaozhan who was waiting at the side replied: "Young Master Zhuang was taken away last night."

As soon as Xuan Yue heard it, the casual expression just now turned cold in an instant.

Xuan Yue slapped the table and said coldly: "Who is so courageous!"

——How dare to touch his people!

Wan Gaozhan continued: "If there is no accident, it is Mr. Taiwei."

Xuan Yue heard this, and frowned, "That loyal animal next to the stupid emperor?"

Emperor Jin couldn't see it, but Xuan Yue could see it clearly.

Everything Ji Yixiao did was for that stupid emperor who couldn't be supported by mud.

It's a pity that no matter how much you help, it's not as good as one ten-thousandth of the late emperor.

Otherwise, why did the prime minister, Long Jingying, stop paying attention to the affairs of the court after the death of the first emperor.

Wan Gaozhan was silent.

Wan Gaozhan's silence already revealed the answer.

Xuan Yue said with a cold face: "Go and find out where Zhuang Duxin is being locked up."

Wan Gaozhan responded, and then slowly retreated.

Wan Gaozhan left, and then, Xuan Yue slowly turned his gaze to Bi Zhu who was sitting on the chair trembling beside him, and opened his lips and asked, "By the way, what does your lord like?"

Bizhu didn't understand why Xuanyue suddenly asked what Su Bian liked, but she still replied obediently: "My lord doesn't seem to like anything."

Xuan Yue raised his eyebrows, "Oh?...Where's the person?"

Bizhu thought about it for a while, and then replied: "My lord seemed to like Mr. Xiwei in the past... I don't know now."

Xuan Yue frowned, "...Mr. Xiwei? Who?"

Bizhu knew that it was not good for her to tell others about her lord's past like this, but for some reason, she clearly didn't know the identity of the person in front of her, but she dared not say it.

Bizhu replied obediently: "Young Master Xiwei was your favorite male favorite before."

...boy favorite?

Unexpectedly, Su Bian actually had a male favorite before, Xuan Yue couldn't help being slightly surprised for a moment.

Although Wan Gaozhan mentioned it in the morning, Xuanyue couldn't help but be surprised when he heard the word male favorite from Su Bian's personal maid.

Xuan Yue really couldn't imagine that last night, Su Bian, who was completely unmoved by his appearance, and a group of scantily-clad dancers from the Western Capital, would be obsessed with masculinity.

but.

Which said again.

——That was before.

Xuan Yue lowered his eyes, and lay lazily on the soft bunk. The white fox fur covering his body set off his delicate and pale face gracefully and luxuriously.

Xuan Yue asked again: "What about now?"

Bizhu shook her head obediently, "It seems that the adults are not interested in male pets now."

Xuan Yue became interested, "Oh? Why?"

Bizhu said: "This... I don't know about this servant either. It's just that when the adults suddenly woke up one day, they seemed to have no interest in male sex."

Xuanyue summed it up, "Big change of mind?"

Bizhu nodded.

Xuanyue's eyelids were half-drowned, and the expression in them was averted.

He couldn't help sticking out the tip of his tongue, and licked the corner of his lips slightly excitedly.

... A great change of mind.

It sounds more interesting.

Xuanyue didn't talk much.

But for some reason, when it came to Su Bian's question, Xuan Yue unconsciously talked more.

Xuan Yue then asked again: "Then what did you guys look like before?"

After Xuanyue's words fell, Bi Zhu, who had been asking and answering just now, hesitated this time.

She was hesitating whether she should answer or not.

Or in other words, should I say... bad things about my lord.

Bizhu hesitated and wondered whether she should return, Xuanyue at the side saw Bizhu's hesitant expression, half raised the corners of her lips, and asked slowly: "...Can't you say?"

Bizhu said: "It's not impossible to say... It's just that the appearance of the adults before and the appearance of the present...maybe, there are some differences."

Xuan Yue asked back, "How is it different?"

Bizhu hesitated.

Immediately afterwards, Bizhu frowned, and couldn't help but asked cautiously, "Before you reply, slave girl, can you boldly ask, what kind of relationship between the young master and my lord...

Does it matter? "

……relation?Xuan Yue thought about it.

Probably because of her family's lord, who avoids him, but he is very interested in her family's lord.

Xuan Yue glanced at Bi Zhu's worried and cautious appearance, his heart moved slightly, and then he replied without blushing, "I and your lord are best friends."

On the other side, Su Bian, who was being interrogated in the punishment room, suddenly sneezed.

Bizhu here was relieved when she heard that she was a close friend.

Look at the Xuan Mansion which is about three times bigger than the Zhuang Mansion, the guards that are full of the mansion, and Xuan Yue's imperceptibly and naturally emanating high-ranking aura...

Presumably relying on the identity of the other party, there is no need to lie to her, a maid.

So Bizhu believed it without hesitation.

Bizhu said, "Your Excellency used to be addicted to masculinity, and often brought some dirty young men back to the mansion. He was even more profligate, and he would give whatever he wanted. During the trial

Adults also like to be confused and often try wrong cases.Your Excellency never pays any attention to the accounts of the mansion, and completely entrusts them to the accountant.On weekdays, adults will not go to the countryside to experience the people's feelings, basically

It's all in the small building..."

The more Xuan Yue listened, the more he felt that what Bi Zhu was talking about was someone else.

Xuan Yue raised his eyebrows, "...is this really your lord?"

Bizhu nodded and said, "Your servant dare not lie."

Seeing Bi Zhu nodding, Xuan Yue's expression suddenly became subtle.

But immediately, Bizhu changed her tone and continued: "But now my lord has no interest in male pets at all! Moreover, he also kicked out the dirty accountant in the mansion! Not long ago, my lord

People even took the son of the magistrate of Huaizhou, who was so reckless about human life, to the capital for execution! "

Xuan Yue looked at Bizhu who said 'my lord is super handsome' on his face, the corners of his eyes were raised slightly, and he said calmly: "Compared with the previous appearance, it seems that you like your lord's current appearance more

? ”

Bi Zhu nodded without hesitation, and said, "This servant likes the current adult the most!"

The Xuanyue was clear and silent.

Ok.

Actually... Xuan Yue also likes it.

Within less than a stick of incense, Wan Gaozhan returned to the West Chamber where Xuanyue was.

Wan Gaozhan stood still in front of Xuanyue, and said respectfully: "Back to Zhuzi, the servant sent someone to investigate, but there was no movement in Shuntian Mansion yesterday. It must be the Taiqing Court."

Ji Yixiao would never bring back his own Jifu when interrogating people, so there are only two places left, one is the Taiqingyuan, which specializes in hearing important cases related to high officials and ministers, and the other is the

It is Shuntian Mansion, which handles the affairs on the streets of the capital.

And in the capital, only these two places have cells for prisoners.

If it wasn't locked in the Shuntian Mansion, then it was the Taiqing Court.

Since it is the Taiqing Academy, it will be much easier to handle.

Chang Huai is currently serving as Jiuqing for the time being. If he wants someone, it's just a matter of one word.

Just as Xuan Yue was about to speak, he asked someone to call Chang Huai, but his heart suddenly changed, and he suddenly changed his mind.

Today, it is said that he is ill and cannot go to court, anyway, there is nothing wrong, it is better to go to the Taiqing Court to see what Master Zhuang looks like now.

Xuan Yue lifted the fox fur and got up from the soft bunk.

Seeing Xuan Yue stand up, Wan Gaozhan immediately knew that Xuan Yue was going to leave the mansion, so without saying a word, he raised his hand to signal for the servants to prepare the sedan chair.

Then, Wan Gaozhan hesitated: "Master, is this going...?"

Xuan Yue's thin lips slightly lifted, "Taiqing Yuan."

Wan Gaozhan understood, then he raised his hand and ordered his servants to prepare two sedan chairs.

Then, Xuan Yue continued coolly: "Send someone to notify Chang Huai and ask him to wait in the Taiqing Court. I will go to the Taiqing Court to ask for someone later."

Wan Gaozhan responded, "Yes."

Seeing that Xuan Yue was about to leave, Bi Zhu, who was still sitting in the West Wing Hall, stood up a little awkwardly.

Bizhu said dryly: "Since the young master is going to save my lord now, the servant will not bother you anymore. The servant will go back to the inn first..."

Before Bi Zhu could finish speaking, Xuan Yue gave Bi Zhu a cool look.

Wan Gaozhan, who was standing by the side, understood, and said quietly, "Si Yin."

The maid named Si Yin stepped forward, "Yes."

Wan Gaozhan said: "Serve this girl with good food and drink."

Si Yin responded respectfully, "Yes."

Seeing this, Xuan Yue withdrew his gaze.

After withdrawing his gaze, Xuan Yue snorted, and then couldn't help but think in his heart: Sure enough, what the master looks like, what the servant looks like.

His Xuanfu is not a place that can eat people, so it seems that he is afraid of staying in the Xuanfu.
