Chapter 325 The Concubine is Drunk

Miyagi, right prison guard.

After Wu Huaishi came back, he stepped back, put the wooden box on the table, opened it, and took out a copper paperweight to look at.

This object is a bit old, maybe it has been kept in the treasury, and it has a slight bluish tint. At first glance, you might think that there is a dragon entwined on it, but only after you look closely can you see that it has no horns.

Wu Huaishi put the paperweight upright in front of his eyes, squinted one eye, and felt that it was a little crooked, so he broke it off without moving.

Copper is soft, so this copper paperweight probably has some tin and lead added to it.

"What does King Ruyang do with this?"

Just as I was thinking this, a young eunuch came over.

Wu Huaishi didn't wait for him to come forward, put the copper paperweight back into the box, tucked it under his arm, and said, "Let's go."

As he walked, he was thinking about his words, thinking about how to quietly inform General Gao that Xue Bai was investigating the cause of King Ruyang's death.

He knew that Gao Lishi often favored Xue Bai, but this time Xue Bai was indeed meddling in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the adopted son of a rebellious minister always got involved in the clan affairs. It was obvious that he had ulterior motives, and General Gao should understand it.

"Grandpa," the young eunuch said with a respectful smile, "I've already sent you my condolences, but General Gao doesn't have time to see you right now."

"No time?"

Wu Huaishi stopped, feeling very surprised, and asked, "Did you say I had something important to report?"

"I told you, but it seems something big happened in the palace."

"What's the big deal?"

"This slave doesn't know yet..."

"Then why don't you go and find out!"

Wu Huaishi immediately became nervous and could not think about anything else for a moment. All he could think about was that this "big event" must be related to the death of King Ruyang or even the case of the three commoners.

These two events, as well as the recent marriage of Princess Rongyi, are all related to Li Cong.

Now that Gao Lishi had no time to see him, Wu Huaishi summoned his confidants and ordered: "You go secretly investigate King Qing. I want to know what King Qing has been doing recently."

"Here."

"Also, we will step up our investigation into King Ruyang's previous whereabouts."

"Here."

Wu Huaishi put down the box in his hand again and kept thinking.

As he was thinking about it, he suddenly remembered something, so he opened the door and saw a young eunuch standing there, so he said, "Come in and stand there."

"Here."

"Hat off."

"Here."

Wu Huaishi took out the copper paperweight again, gestured, and hit the young eunuch on the back of his neck three times.

Three muffled sounds.

The young eunuch had no time to scream in pain and was knocked to the ground by him.

Wu Huaishi really used all his strength. He was so tired that he gasped repeatedly and said: "Get up... get up."

He put down the paperweight in his hand, leaned over to detect the breath of the young eunuch, and was surprised to find that he had actually beaten him to death.

Human life is more fragile than he imagined...

With a "squeak", the door was pushed open, and the young eunuch who came in was startled when he saw the situation in the room, and quickly covered his mouth.

Wu Huaishi turned his head, revealed a gloomy look, and said lightly: "What's wrong?"

"Grandpa, I heard... I found out that the big event in the palace is... the saint kicked Concubine Yang out of the palace..."

"What?!"

Wu Huaishi stood up suddenly and was very surprised.

"Aren't you talking about Concubine Yang Shu, Yang Zhaoyi, Yang Wanyi, Yang Jieyu... Are you really talking about Concubine Yang Taizhen?"

"yes."

Wu Huaishi lowered his head and glanced at the copper paperweight in his hand, and couldn't tell which was the bigger thing.

~~

Mrs. Guo's Mansion.

In the fragrant boudoir, the two people who were enjoying themselves stopped moving.

"Then shall I go back first?" Xue Bai said.

"No, you go to the guest room and wait. Yuhuan may want some advice from you." Yang Yuyao hurriedly arranged her hair, "Suddenly something like this happened, who knows what to do."

"Let her know that I am in your house right now..."

"Do you really think she doesn't know about our relationship?"

Yang Yuyao put on the colorful silk again and wiped Xue Bai's neck by candlelight. She found that the red mark could not be wiped off, so she had no time to care anymore and hurried out of the hall.

Before leaving the backyard, I saw Yang Yuhuan walking this way, looking at the surrounding scenery as he walked.

She hurriedly went up to him and asked, "What's going on? Are you scaring me? Are you really being kicked out of the palace for disobeying the order?"

"Yes, if I am no longer a noble concubine, wouldn't the third sister not welcome me?"

"Who told you that? I'll ask you what happened so I can figure out a solution."

"Let's talk in your room."

Yang Yuhuan walked towards Yang Yuyao's house. At the same time, Liu Feng turned back to the snow and glanced at Zhang Yunrong, signaling her to guard the yard.

The two sisters entered the house and Mingzhu was making the bed. Yang Yuhuan looked at the situation in the house and suddenly said: "Since Xue Bai is here, I invited him here to save me from having to talk to him again."

Yang Yuyao knew that her sister's departure from the palace was a big deal, and she didn't intend to hide it, so she ordered Mingzhu to invite someone over.

"I was discussing state affairs with my sworn brother, about the battle of Nanzhao and the death of King Ruyang... But how did you know that he was in my house?"

"If it's just Third Sister, you've been lying on this couch yourself, why would you let Mingzhu clean it up?" Yang Yuhuan snorted softly and spat: "It's better to hide it than to reveal it."

"How can you guess based on this? I'm afraid you just said he was here without asking anything."

"Have I wronged you?"

"As we said, we discussed some state affairs."

They have always liked to quarrel since they were young. From the time they entered the room to the time they sat down, they exchanged words with each other. However, Yang Yuyao was still worried and couldn't help but say: "You have fallen out of favor, and you still talk about such trivial matters."

.”

Yang Yuhuan directly picked up the watering can on the table, took a sip from the spout, and said, "I'm so thirsty that I had a quarrel in the palace and I haven't even touched the water yet."

She did not answer her sister's question, but looked towards the door of the house. After waiting for a while, she saw Mingzhu leading Xue Bai in.

Xue Bai was neatly dressed, with his hair tied and wearing a crown, his hair was not messy, his face was solemn, and he exuded awe-inspiring righteousness. In short, he looked like a gentleman... Seeing him like this, Yang Yuhuan couldn't help but become suspicious, secretly guessing that he was really having an affair with the third sister.

?

"I've met two ladies."

"Yes." Yang Yuyao sat upright and responded seriously, looking a little deliberate.

Yang Yuhuan smiled and said: "Sit down, bring me a cup, and talk while drinking."

"Okay, I'm a light drinker, so I'll have three drinks with my sister."

"Come to think of it, we haven't spoken like this in two years, right?"

"Less than two years."

"Yes, it's not the Chinese Valentine's Day yet." Yang Yuhuan looked at Xue Bai and said, "Abai has grown up, but I am getting old."

Xue Bai was stunned for a moment, and then he looked at her intently. Under the candlelight, he saw that the beautiful face that had brought disaster to the country and the people was more beautiful than in his memory. He couldn't help but be surprised that she would feel old. Then, he saw Yang Yuhuan's eyes flashed with narrow-mindedness.

meaning.

She might have said that on purpose to make him look at her.

Seeing his gaze, Yang Yuhuan couldn't help but smile, poured two glasses of wine, and drank one himself first, with a relaxed expression, as if he felt more at ease after leaving the palace.

Xue Bai wanted to praise her, "You haven't changed, but you look younger," but he didn't say it out loud. Instead, he asked, "Why did sister leave the palace?"

Yang Yuhuan thought for a while, seemed a little puzzled, and said: "I had a quarrel with the saint for no reason."

"No reason?" Yang Yuyao said, "Then you are acting recklessly."

Yang Yuhuan felt funny after hearing this and said: "If the saint doesn't allow me to act recklessly, isn't there something wrong?"

"Look at the nonsense you're talking about."

Of these two sisters, Yang Yuyao has a reputation of being domineering. She looks fierce, but in fact she treats people with loyalty and is more coaxing. Yang Yuhuan looks gentle, but because she is so beautiful, she is naturally arrogant.

"Third sister, don't interrupt." Yang Yuhuan drank another glass of wine and said: "Today I was rehearsing "The Legend of White Snake" and I sang well. The saint came over and said first that King Ruyang had passed away and that the money was not enough. In short, he broke his promise.
