There is always a rival who wants to attack me 2

In the courtyard of Mrs. Jihou

The man in black suddenly appeared in the room.At the moment there is only Mrs. Jihou in the room, and the maid was called away just now.

"Did you bring the things?" Mrs. Jihou turned her head and asked.

The man in black handed the painting to her: "What are you going to do next?"

"Of course I want to save myself." Mrs. Ji Hou sat up, looked at him for a while, and then suddenly smiled: "Don't be unwilling, what I did was for you and your good master who is dead ? After all, Yaoer..."

The unfinished words of Mrs. Jihou made the man in black stiffen. Although his eyes were still full of disdain, he knelt on the ground without any resistance.

"Heh." Madam Ji picked up the painting and glanced at it, then threw it back into the man's hand: "Go and find a way to frame it before sending it back."

"Understood." The man in black responded, and then quietly left through the window.

This person is the former husband of Madam Suihou, who has been hiding in the dark since the death of Madam Suihou's father, and was dispatched by Madam Suihou.

Before Mrs. Jihou's first husband passed away, all the Xu family was handed over to Mrs. Jihou.And these old ministries also swore to serve Mrs. Jihou for life in front of Mrs. Jihou's husband's bed and never betrayed.

In these years, Mrs. Ji Hou was able to control the Hou Mansion smoothly. Apart from the scheming on the surface, it is also due to their secret bloodbath.The disappearance of many people cannot be separated from him.

As for him, the old leader, he was the first to bear the brunt.It's not that he doesn't understand that Mrs. Jihou's intentions are not righteous, but she can't get out of control.

One was entrusted by the old master, and the other was that he could not harm Lu Weiyao.

Back then when Madam Jihou was having an affair with Lu Hou, he discovered that he wanted to report it to his master, but he was tricked into having an affair with Madam Jihou and was forced by her.

Later, when Lu Weiyao was born, the timing was so delicate that it was impossible to tell whose child it was.And Lu Hou's private blood test, it seems that his own life is just a drop of vinegar added to the water bowl.

Therefore, he was even more afraid to act rashly.Because if Lu Weiyao is the son of the old master, that is the last bloodline of the Xu family, and he must protect it, but if it is his...even if it is against human relations, he can't be a tiger poison eater.

Forget it, one wrong step and one wrong step, now he can only push the boat along like this.

The man in black looked a little dazed, but he didn't realize that the scroll on his body had been touched and replaced with another scroll.

Regent's House

The handsome and tall man sat in front of the table, casually flipping through the memorial in his hand.The face of the little eunuch serving by his side was full of respect, and his cautious appearance was even more cautious than facing the emperor.

A shadow guard quietly appeared in the room and put on a painting, which was the one he took from the man in black.

It's just light ink essays on rice paper, and the paintings are homely in the boudoir.The seemingly ordinary brushstrokes reveal an unyielding character, even the twists and turns of the lines can see the elegance and arrogance of the painter.

Carefully rubbing the lines on the painting, the regent's eyes softened.Looking at the child above for a while, he sighed softly, and murmured: "It's him who draws the picture, not the one in the picture."

Carefully putting away the painting, he raised his head and told the hidden guards: "Send someone to protect him secretly, but don't try to rescue him deliberately. As long as it doesn't involve safety issues, no matter what he wants to do or who he wants to teach, it's all up to him. Do not interfere in any way."

"Yes." The dark guard agreed to step back, but couldn't help being speechless at such an order.

This Lu Yunxi really had a good fortune, so that the master cared so much that even half of the hidden guards around him were sent out to guard the Hou's mansion day and night.

You must know that this world looks like an emperor's house, but it is actually just a plaything in the hands of the regent.Even the current Holy Majesty, who is frightened by the mention of it by the courtiers, is just a puppet manipulated by him on a whim.

As for now, the reason why they are behind the scenes is that they are too lazy to mediate with those courtiers face to face all day long.

It seems that the sky of this big week is about to change.

Hou Mansion, the inner courtyard of Mrs. Hou

Different from the depression just after Madam Hou was convicted by Marquis Lu, the inner court at this moment is very busy with people coming and going.Ke's busyness was not as vigorous as usual, but rather lifeless.

A plain carriage was parked nearby, and dozens of servants with disheveled faces were standing around.They looked sluggish and sluggish, mechanically carrying packed packages in their hands.If you look closely at their eyes, you will find that there is no expression in them, as if they are stupid and have no response to the outside world.

"Second Lord, everyone has already taken care of everything. They are all high-quality medicines. Although they will damage the mind, they will never hurt people's lives. Madam's sacrificial ceremony is coming soon, and we are all careful not to hinder the peace of heaven."

"Good job." Li Xi raised the corners of his lips slightly: "Then send them on the road with their step-wife."

"Yes." The manager replied, and hurriedly urged the little maid to go in to deliver the message.However, before the girl went in, the maid Li Xi sent to take care of Mrs. Jihou stepped out first, with a very anxious look on her face.

"Second Master, it's too bad, the stepwife seems to be pregnant!"

"Oh?" The sudden change made Li Xi feel puzzled: "Did you call the doctor?"

"Already called. The doctor in the mansion said that she is indeed pregnant, more than one month old." After saying this, the servant girl lowered her voice slightly and continued: "I am afraid that the doctor will be dishonest, so I ordered someone to call the imperial doctor. Unexpectedly, The imperial doctor also made such a judgment, as for the bitch, she is also confident, I am afraid that something is wrong with this child."

"Don't worry, let me go and have a look first." Li Xi frowned, first comforted the maid in a gentle voice, and then led him into Mrs. Jihou's bedroom.

--------------------

Furniture made of high-quality sour pear wood branches, curtains adorned with precious stones, emeralds and glazed curtains, as well as priceless ornaments and screens.It's a pity that the person living inside is a concubine, but she uses some external things to bluff and disguise herself.

Reaching out to lift the curtain of the inner room, Li Xi walked in generously accompanied by the maid.

The impromptu imperial doctor was sitting on the table next to her and preparing a prescription, while Mrs. Jihou was leaning on the bedside, her hands gently protecting her lower abdomen.

Without saying hello, Li Xi went to the imperial physician and picked up the prescription he had written to check.These are some of the commonly used drugs for miscarriage during pregnancy.Looking at Mrs. Jihou who was leaning over there, the satisfaction in her eyes did not seem to be pretending.

"Yunxi is about to have a younger brother, are you happy?" It seemed that the crisis of last night was completely gone, and Mrs. Jihou put on her virtuous and virtuous appearance again, smiling sweetly.

"Of course I am happy, but I am more worried. I often hear the old man say that the first three months are the most unstable, and Hanzhao Temple is suffering. I am afraid that my wife will suffer some hardships."

"That's not necessarily the case." Pointing at her belly as if to show off, Mrs. Ji Hou's tone was more willful: "Master Hou values ​​blood and family ties the most. If it's not easy to think about children, maybe you will feel a little more pity."

"Really?" Li Xi raised his lips slowly, and narrowed his eyes: "That's it, it seems that you have already made up your mind."

"What are you talking about? You are the eldest son of this mansion. Now that the Marquis is not here, isn't it a great prestige? I am just a small step-wife, how dare I make up words in front of the second master? But, second master, don't forget... …" Lifting the quilt, Mrs. Jihou slowly got up and got out of bed. She stopped three steps away from Li Xi, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear clearly: "When your mother was in front of me back then He is just a loser who lost everything, and now you can only end in the same tragic end."

With a weird tone of voice, it seems to be hiding all sorts of calculations, full of danger and coldness.

This is the trick!Li Xi vaguely felt bad, and wanted to take a step back to open the distance, but someone grabbed the hem of his clothes fiercely, and Mrs. Ji Hou also seemed to be staggered by his movements, and she was about to fall down.

And at this moment, Lu Hou, who had just received the news that Mrs. Jihou was pregnant, also walked in from outside...
