Marry the Regent [Time Travel]
Chapter 25
After Imperial Physician Shi left, Xue Yunzhou, who was always paying attention to this place, rushed over quickly. Just as he had a face-to-face meeting with He Yuan, he heard someone begging to see him outside.
Naturally, He Yuan would not evade him, and called the person in directly. Seeing that he was one of the guards sent out to investigate last night, he couldn't help but slightly dignified, and looked at the person with calm eyes.
The man was travel-stained, his clothes were stained with dust and grass clippings, and he did not have time to brush them off. He first saluted Xue Yunzhou, then clasped his fists at He Yuan and said, "My lord, there are only a few scattered people in that valley. Watching the millet on the cart at night, and divided the millet into two groups, one group was left there, and the other group was transported out after dawn. Although the valley seemed deserted, some wooden houses were built inside, and some simple houses The utensils, and even the burnt firewood pile, all indicate that there are people living in it, but no trace of those people has been found so far. The subordinates have arranged for people to guard there, and also arranged for people to follow another wave of millet whereabouts."
He Yuan was silent for a moment, and said, "Can you tell who are the people living in the valley, and how long have you been away?"
"Some clothes in the house look very worn out, and there are some hoes. They look like ordinary people, and they may even be refugees who fled. They haven't been away for a long time, and some firewood piles are still steaming."
He Yuan shook his head: "It is impossible for ordinary people to leave at the same time in a short period of time, let alone refugees, not to mention that they still have so many carts of millet."
The man thought for a while and said, "This subordinate will let them keep an eye on it."
He Yuan nodded: "If there is any news, report it immediately."
After the man left, Xue Yunzhou looked at He Yuan with a nervous expression: "Was the imperial physician here just now?"
He Yuan got up and walked in front of him, bent slightly, held his two hands resting on the armrests of the chair, and kissed him on the lips: "Yes."
The warmth from his hands spread directly to his limbs. Xue Yunzhou raised his face and smiled at him. He really didn't expect that the second brother, who has always been cold and stern, would be so satisfying in the details when talking about love. He couldn't bear it. Live also kissed him back on the lips.
He Yuan saw his nervousness just now, so he took the initiative to explain without him asking: "Don't worry, it's fine, it's just that I was poisoned before."
Seeing his indifferent expression, Xue Yunzhou subconsciously relaxed, but he was still a little worried: "What about now? I'm fine now? Why did I hear Mr. He say that the imperial physician should be invited every three months?"
"It's all right, but my body is a little weak after being poisoned, and I have almost recuperated. The imperial doctor only comes here occasionally for follow-up visits."
Xue Yunzhou has always believed in his words, so naturally he would not think too much about it. He finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing his explanation.
For the next period of time, Xue Yunzhou was busier than He Yuan. He borrowed a lot of He Yuan's manpower, and on the one hand, he transported all the rice harvested from his farm, and donated it in the name of the Prince Regent's House in a very high-profile way. On the other hand, they spared no effort to publicize the notoriety of loyal Hou Xuechong.
He Yuan even took the opportunity to put pressure on the court, forcing many ministers to bite the bullet and take out food from their own homes, those who had no food to take out money, and those who had no money to take out clothes and cloth. , It can be regarded as a contribution to the frontline army.
However, in just a few days, Xue Chong's reputation has become so bad that some people even made up children's songs and sang them in the streets and alleys. On the contrary, the regent king who was once famous has won a lot of goodwill from the people. It is an indisputable fact that there has been no dead person brought out of the Prince Regent's Mansion for a long time according to the publicity of the pig woman and others in the market.
Soon, news of the market spread to high-ranking households, and almost the entire capital was alarmed. Xue Chong was so angry that he almost fainted when he heard the wind. Amidst the ear-piercing crackling sound, he snapped angrily, "Who did it? Check it out for me!"
It is not easy to find out the source of the news from the marketplace, but just as He Yuan guessed that Xue Chong wanted to deal with him early in the morning, Xue Chong also secretly speculated in his heart whether this matter had something to do with the Prince Regent.
It’s just that he was a little surprised. The regent has always done things straightforwardly. When dealing with people or things that make him unhappy, he either disdains and ignores them, or directly wants people’s lives to make him happy. How could he think of such a roundabout way?
Xue Chong was pacing anxiously with his brows tightly locked, when suddenly someone ran in with a panicked expression: "Your Majesty! It's not good!"
Xue Chong's face was ugly: "The sky is not falling, what does it look like to be in a panic!"
The man anxiously said: "The valley was discovered by the Regent's people, and Gao Ziming was taken away!"
"What?!" Xue Chong was shocked, "Say it again? Who was arrested?"
"Gao Ziming!"
Xue Chong's complexion turned pale in an instant, he was stunned for a moment and suddenly regained his senses, and said anxiously: "Hurry up! Take Gao Ziming's family away!"
The man was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly withdrew.
"and many more!"
Xue Chong roared, and the man rushed in again: "What else do you want, Master Hou?"
Xue Chong stared at him with red eyes: "What happened to the valley? How could it be exposed?"
"This... I don't know how they found out. I guess it might be because of those grain carts. Fortunately, Gao Ziming responded quickly. He immediately lit a fire at the entrance of the cave when he found someone in an ambush. Now everyone inside has escaped, but Gao Ziming... ..."
"Trash! Anyone can be arrested! Gao Ziming can't!"
The man was so scolded that he lowered his head and dared not make a sound.
When Xue Chong was in a hurry at home, Xue Yunzhou was humming and laughing in He Yuan's study: "Gao Ziming! So it's him!"
He Yuan burned the note sent by Fei Ge on the fire, and said in a deep voice: "When you bring people back and interrogate them, there is no mouth in this world that cannot be pried open."
Xue Yunzhou thought for a while, then leaned in front of him and said in a low voice, "What if he commits suicide? Biting his tongue, taking poison, etc. I heard that some people hide poison in their teeth, but I don't know if it's true."
"Impossible, and it's not a killer." He Yuan patted the back of his head, "And I've been put under strict surveillance, so I won't give him a chance to commit suicide."
"I'm afraid he's a tough guy."
"A tough guy is not afraid, he still has a family."
"Have you found his family?"
"not yet."
Xue Yunzhou raised his eyes and looked at him speechlessly: "Then you are so confident?"
"I've sent another person to keep an eye on the Zhongyihou's mansion, and keep an eye on their movements. I believe someone will lead the way."
Xue Yunzhou thought for a while, suddenly realized, and smiled at him: "So you have already planned it?"
"Yes, everything is ready, I only owe the east wind." Looking at his smiling eyes, He Yuan couldn't help but raised his hand to touch them, and the tip of his thumb drew a small arc along the corner of his eyes, and then covered his entire face. Hold it and squeeze it gently.
Although he has changed his body, he has seen this face for more than ten years. From the undeveloped facial features when he was a toddler to the handsome and delicate eyebrows and eyes when he was an adult, he has seen it year after year, and it has already been carved into his bone marrow.
The two of them slept together in the same bed these days, and intimate behavior was indispensable. Xue Yunzhou no longer had the nervousness at the beginning, but now he is holding his face and pinching him, leaving only silly joy.
He Yuan lowered his eyes slightly, his eyes slipped from the corners of his eyes to his lips, and his eyes gradually dimmed.
Xue Yunzhou noticed his change, and immediately pouted at him.
A slight smile flashed across He Yuan's eyes, and he nibbled a few bites on his lips, then shifted his position, tilted his head and bit his earlobe to grind it carefully.
Xue Yunzhou tightened his hand on the table suddenly, and soon felt a scorching hot breath penetrated into the cochlea, and the hot and humid touch inside the ear pinna made half of his body go numb, and he couldn't help stretching out a hand. Hands grabbed his arm.
He Yuan distanced himself a little, without asking too much, he could see the affection from the subtleties of his face, it was hard to imagine why he didn't notice such obvious emotion before, did he hide it too well?
Thinking of Xue Yunzhou's status in his family in his previous life, He Yuan felt a dull pain in his heart.
Fortunately, they are still alive now.
Not to be outdone, Xue Yunzhou got up and stood in front of him, and bared his teeth condescendingly at him: "I'll give it back to you." As he spoke, he buried his head in his ear.
He Yuan's lower abdomen twitched, and he hugged his waist with both hands, strangled him tightly, and said in a hoarse voice, "Don't make trouble."
Xue Yunzhou licked it for a while, and hurriedly stopped when he almost lost control of his emotions: "Oh..."
He Yuan breathed heavily, held his waist tightly, raised his head and looked at him with deep eyes.
Xue Yunzhou's face gradually became hot when he watched him, coughed embarrassingly, and began to look around: "Huh? Another minister asked for leave?...Ah, I haven't read this book yet, I want to take it to read look."
He Yuan didn't answer, just looked at him.
Xue Yunzhou touched his stomach uncomfortably: "I'm hungry, when will I eat?"
He Yuan was silent for a while, sighed helplessly, stood up and pulled him towards the door: "Now."
Xue Yunzhou looked at his hand being held, and was so happy that he wanted to rush towards him.
The two had a simple lunch, and Gao Ziming was brought back. He Yuan was not in a hurry to interrogate him, but ordered him to be temporarily detained. After waiting for a few hours, near evening, another young woman and a A boy was brought into the palace.
At night, the dungeon of the palace was icy cold. Gao Ziming was tied up on the shelf, and when he was so tired that he was falling asleep, he suddenly heard footsteps coming from outside. , saw two men walking in slowly, it was He Yuan and Xue Yunzhou.
Gao Ziming narrowed his eyes slightly, and snorted, "It's been a long time since the lord arrested Caomin, why did he think of interrogating him now?"
He Yuan looked at him coldly: "Was it you who ambushed Xue Guang and forced him to jump off the cliff?"
Gao Ziming thought he would ask about the valley, but he didn't expect it to be this one. He couldn't help being stunned for a moment, but soon regained his composure, and quickly denied: "No."
"After entering here, it is impossible to get out without telling the truth. You are not waiting for the king to torture you, are you?"
Gao Ziming didn't change his face, and said sarcastically, "It's nothing more than torture and beating. I'm not afraid of this."
"So strong!" Xue Yunzhou gave him a thumbs up, and then shouted, "Bring people in!"
Naturally, He Yuan would not evade him, and called the person in directly. Seeing that he was one of the guards sent out to investigate last night, he couldn't help but slightly dignified, and looked at the person with calm eyes.
The man was travel-stained, his clothes were stained with dust and grass clippings, and he did not have time to brush them off.
