Eryuehong is still the same as in the past, with guests, but not too lively.

The first floor is still the richest merchants in Yangzhou City hold a banquet. During the banquet, they are drinking and drinking. The air is filled with the fragrance of wine and vegetables, as well as the smugs of women and the fragrance of powder.

The second floor is much more purified.

Only high-ranking officials could come here. Perhaps because there were too many things in the prefecture recently and there were fewer high-ranking officials and high-ranking officials and nobles, there were only one room with guests. I walked over with a wine pot and through the bead curtain, I saw a man in a gorgeous dress and dressed in a gorgeous dress inside.

This person is Yang Ji.

Wei Ningyuan told me that Yang Ji often came to Eryuehong to drink, and only at this time did I have the opportunity to meet him alone.

He is about thirties, very thin, with a sly light in his inverted triangle eyes, and his cheekbones are very high on his face, which makes people feel a little mean, making people uncomfortable at first glance.

I slowly lifted the curtain, he raised his head to look at me, his eyes lit up, and immediately saw my high belly again, and frowned and said, "Your boss is getting more and more unruly, and even pregnant women dare to come and serve me! Don't you want to open this restaurant?"

I walked over with a smile and poured a glass of wine for him: "Mr. Yang misunderstood, I'm not a person here."

He frowned, reached out to take the wine glass I presented, looked down carefully, looked at me again, and said, "Who are you?"

I looked at him with a smile, without saying a word.

He felt something was wrong more and more. His little eyes stared at me tightly, and suddenly he seemed to remember something. He stood up and pointed at me and said loudly: "You - you are Yue -!"

He swallowed the words afterwards.

He and I had only seen each other far away at a state banquet, but people in the officialdom never forget it. What's more, I was so disagreeable with Shen Rou in the harem, so his family would naturally be impressed by me. It was as expected that he could recognize me.

I smiled and blessed him: "Mr. Yang has good eyesight."

"You-are you dead?"

"Of course I'm 'dead'." I smiled and said, "As long as Lord Yang doesn't tell others about what I saw me today, I'll still 'dead'."

Yang Ji was not a confused person either, so he immediately understood.

He calmed down, looked at me for a while, and then said in a deep voice: "What are you doing?"

"I want to ask Lord Yang for something."

"Please me?" He laughed out loud when he heard this: "You are here to beg me? Hahahaha."

It was natural for him to smile. Shen Rou was his cousin. When I was in the palace, I and she were confronted by Xu Youling's affairs. The people in the Shen family were afraid that they would hate me. Now I actually asked him for help, which was indeed a bit funny.

His laughter slowly stopped, and he stared at me and said viciously: "You know, I can chop you into meat sauce with just one word now!"

I still said with a calm expression: "I know. But adults should also know that at this time, how could someone chop myself into meat sauce?"

He was stunned, looked at me with a frown, and I smiled and said, "When lord went south, no one told you that in addition to deceiving the emperor, did Yue Qingying also have the charge of affair with a traitor?"

His face suddenly changed, and he looked around in horror.

Although Yangzhou is much more stable than before, otherwise he would not have dared to follow the footsteps of Liu Yi and his son and become governors, Yangzhou's thugs are well-known and naturally he knows what he does.

I smiled and said, "Don't worry, sir, today I'm just here to ask for sir and don't want to do anything else."

His face changed a few times, and he looked around again, then he sat down with lingering fear, and I slowly sat opposite him.

After all, Yang Ji was also an official for many years. He quickly calmed down and looked at my high bulge, saying, "You are - who is this child?"

He was both harsh and I guessed that he was worried that this child belonged to the emperor and would affect Shen Rou.

I smiled faintly, without answering, just said, "I am here to pray to the adults today, hoping that everyone can let go of the husband of the civilian woman."

"Husband? You-" He suddenly opened his eyes wide.

"I'm already married."

Looking at my calm look, Yang Ji seemed a little disbelief, and after a while he said with a smile: "You are so brave, Yue Qingying!"

"Did you forget it? Yue Qingying is already dead."

“…”

"I am just here to ask the adults to release the husband of the civilian woman."

"Your husband? Who is it?"

"Mr. Yang arrested the rebel party in Yangzhou City a while ago, and my husband was also mistakenly arrested. But he was not a rebel party, nor was he a student who came to participate in the imperial examination. He was just a choreographer in a restaurant, and it had nothing to do with these things. I hope Lord Yang would be careful and let him go."

Yang Ji snorted coldly and said, "Why do you want me to let him go? Do you think you are still the shitty talent?"

I smiled and said, "I am just an ordinary person now, so naturally I don't have the right to ask Lord Yang to do things. But this is a misunderstanding and an unjust case. I hope Lord Yang will be proud of his actions."

He looked at me with an eyebrow raised: "What if I don't?"

I looked up at him and said word by word: "The civilian woman can only submit her to the emperor and sue him."

He was shocked and stared at me.

I said slowly: "The civilian woman said just now that Yue Qingying is dead, so she shouldn't have returned to the emperor, but the one who doesn't want her to go back than Yue Qingying should be Concubine Shen."

“…”

"It's been so difficult, without this person in the harem, why bother to cause trouble?"

“…”

Yang Ji's face darkened. After thinking for a while, he suddenly sneered: "Yue Qingying? Do you think you can still return to the emperor? Even if you go back, do you think you can still be fine? You dare to marry someone on your back. Do you think the emperor can spare you?"

My heart suddenly trembled.

Indeed, this was what I had been worried about before marrying Liu Saner. Until I received the news, he had returned to Beijing, I believed that he had accepted the fact that I was dead. After all, it was between me and him.

I thought I would never have any involvement with the people I had in my life, but I didn't expect-

But now, I can't back down!

So, my face remained unchanged, and the smile on my face became deeper, and I said, "Mr. Yang is worried that the emperor can't spare me, but according to the emperor's character, before punishing me, he will definitely punish the officials who impose heavy taxes in the south and disregard the people!"

His face changed and he said, "What do you mean?!"

I smiled and said, "It's not interesting. I just want to remind Lord Yang that when the emperor was still a prince, he went south to Yangzhou because Lord Hong Wenquan colluded with grain merchants to earn the bad money of the victims. He was a dignified magistrate and killed him without even asking for an order. This shows how much he hated corrupt people. And what you did this time was against the emperor's taboo."

“…”

"Yangzhou, the emperor has put a lot of effort into it. If he knew that Enke this time, the emperor took the opportunity to make money and the emperor was furious, he would not know what would happen?"

“…”

"Actually, the adults are also very powerful. So much news to the capital can be stopped by the adults one by one. Until now, the emperor still doesn't know what happened in Yangzhou. But if there is any news that the adults can't stop it, then--"

“…”

"Mr. Shen and the Imperial Concubine have also spent a lot of effort on the reuse of the Lord, but don't let it fail."

"..." Yang Ji's face was slightly pale, and his eyes flashed with a hint of anxiety when he looked at me, but he wanted to hide something, so he picked up the wine glass on the table and suddenly put it down - probably because he was afraid that there would be something wrong with the wine, but the wine in the glass was swaying violently. I looked at the waves inside and my heart slowly calmed down.

After a long silence, he slowly raised his head and looked at me. His little eyes were shining with a needle-like light: "Can you really come to the emperor?"

"I just don't want to do that."

"You really, just want to save your husband?"

"If the Lord raises his hands, there will be no connection between them."

He stared at me silently, his eyes were like needles. I just sat calmly opposite him, with a calm smile on my face, although I only realized that the hand that was lightly placed on the table was covered in cold sweat.

After a while, he finally said, "Okay."

My heart hopped hard, almost about to pop out of my chest. Suddenly, a pain was felt all over my body, but it was because of this jump that the blood on my body began to flow again. I made a little smile: "Thank you, Lord Yang."

"I will issue the official documents soon, just wait to pick up your husband."

"Thank you."

After he said that, he looked at me again, with a hint of viciousness in his eyes. I just didn't see it. As he stood up and walked out, I also stood up and blessed him slightly.

.

Two days later, I stood at the door of the prison and watched the iron door slowly open, and a cold wind blew out from it.

Under the dim light, a familiar figure slowly walked out.

The ragged clothes could not hide the scars on his body, and there was a hint of confusion on his bloody face. It seemed that he had walked out of hell and when he appeared in the sun again, it seemed like he had been in the past life.

He raised his head and looked at the sky. His eyes that had not been seen for a long time seemed to be unable to bear the stimulation of the light, which made him immediately reach out and blocked his eyes.

Then, he looked at me.

Those eyes were still the same as before. Although they were slightly red due to sleepiness and pain, his eyes were still bright, but in this brightness, there was a hint of clarity that had never been seen before in the past.

"Light!"

As soon as he saw me, a smile appeared on his face, and I had already walked over and hugged him hard.

Maybe I touched the wound on his body. When I hugged him, I could feel him trembling slightly, but at this time I didn't want to let go at all. I would rather he hurt. I also want to know that all this is true.

He really came out!

He seemed to be able to understand what I was thinking, and just let me hold it. After a long time, his weak hands gently raised and stroked my head: "Don't worry, I'm real."

“…”

"It made you suffer."

“…”

I bit my lower lip and didn't say anything, just because I was afraid that tears would come out faster than the sound when I opened my mouth. After a while, I slowly raised my head from his arms and looked at him: "Do you still hurt?"

"No, it doesn't hurt anymore." He smiled, although there was a hint of pain in his smile: "Seeing you, everything is fine."

"That's good."

I nodded, looked over his shoulder, and looked at Wei Ningyuan, who was standing in the doorman not far behind. He only nodded, and I nodded, then helped Liu Saner's arm and walked out, saying, "Then let's go quickly."

"oh."

He didn't think too much at first, just thinking that I hoped to leave here with him soon, but as soon as he walked outside, he saw a carriage parked there, waiting for us. He was slightly stunned and said, "This is-"
