Chapter 916: Finally venting his anger!
Chapter 916: Finally venting his anger!
Unconsciously, Yan Ruyu became the backbone of the princess's mansion.
She laughed dumbly: "Then I will be the substitute tonight. Sister Green Lake is not feeling well, so just go and rest."
Green Lake Fufu looked at Princess Mingzhao, who nodded.
Green Lake walked outside and was startled when he found someone standing on the porch.
After taking a closer look, he realized that it was Huo Changhe and hurriedly greeted him.
Huo Changhe waved his hand: "No need to be polite, just go down. There is no need to come out if you have nothing to do."
As the night grew darker, all the lights in the yard went out, and there was only one light left in the outhouse.
Shen Huaixin was sitting in the carriage, drinking from a wine flask.
He was really tired these days. Things were lost and his ancestral grave was bombed. It was just leveled and repaired today. At noon, he went to kowtow in front of the grave and cried.
He didn't want to believe in thunder, but other than this, there was no other explanation.
What could be so powerful and blast such a big hole in the ground?
He couldn't help but wonder whether, as the rumors on the street said, he had done something wrong and made a big mistake.
If Cheng Shuyi hadn't told him that all this might be manipulated by someone to prevent him from falling into the trap, he would have gone crazy.
After coming back from the grave, he was thinking about going to the princess's mansion tonight.
He delayed it for two days just to let Huo Changhe suffer for two days. His men had already found out clearly that Huo Changhe had sought medical advice from all the medical clinics in the city, and even some not-so-famous barefoot doctors. It can be cured.
Hearing the news, he laughed so much that he drank several bottles of wine.
After being depressed for so long, he finally let out his bad breath.
"Sir, we're here."
Shen Huaixin put down the wine bottle, put on his cloak and hat and got out of the carriage.
This is the gate of the princess's palace, and the time is just right as agreed.
Tonight, the housekeeper drove the car himself. He came forward and tapped the door briefly twice, and then slowly three times.
Soon, there was a response from inside, which was consistent with his knocking, and then the door opened.
A head poked out from inside, it was Xiaosi Xiaotaozi.
He opened the door and let Shen Huaixin in. The butler didn't come in, so he was waiting here in the carriage.
The boy led the way, and he was familiar with the road. He had already scouted it out, and he didn't meet any patrollers along the way. He arrived outside the princess's yard smoothly.
"Have you used the incense?" Shen Huaixin smelled a faint aroma, but still wanted to confirm.
He got the packet of fragrant powder but never used it. He just heard from the great Gu Master's description that the scent was the same as that of fragrant powder, but it was much lighter. When it burned, there was a faint blue smoke.
"Don't worry, sir, it's used," Xiao Yuzi said. There was a moist glow under Xiao Yuzi's nose. That was the antidote.
"The villain has already investigated. Everyone around the yard has fainted, including the maid in the yard."
"Besides, Green Lake is feeling unwell tonight. He needs to rest early. There is a little maid in the house, so you can rest assured."
Shen was confident and satisfied: "God helps me."
He had used the antidote when he came. He was completely fearless. He waved his hand and told the boy to leave. He walked back into the house with his head held high.
It was indeed quiet all around. As he walked alone, he suddenly felt like he was the only one in the world.
That's right, Youcheng will soon be under his control alone, and Huo Changhe will be obedient and at his mercy.
As for Governor Cao - it's not worth mentioning at all.
Shen Huaixin stepped up the steps, full of momentum, but secretly regretful that no one saw him.
Opening the curtain and entering the house, the light in the outer room was dim, the candlelight danced, as if he was silently nervous and twitching slightly.
As soon as he entered the house, he heard Princess Mingzhao cough weakly, and then shouted: "Is there anyone outside? Come here."
"Aru, wake up!"
"Somebody come!"
She should have used a lot of strength, but her voice was really not loud. With a smile on Shen Huaixin's lips, he lifted the curtain and entered the room without any scruples.
The light in the back room was not bright either. He first took a look at the incense burner at the corner of the table - it was emitting light blue smoke. After entering the room, the aroma became stronger.
He took a deep breath, and yes, it tasted the same as fragrant powder.
After confirming this, Shen Huaixin looked around and saw the maid lying on the couch with the soup bowl overturned.
It seemed that this maid was going to give Princess Mingzhao medicine, but before she could give it, she became addicted to the fragrance, fainted, and spilled the medicine bowl.
Shen Huaixin didn't even look at the maid, his eyes passed indifferently and looked towards the bed.
At the same time, Princess Mingzhao also saw him and looked surprised.
"You...what are you? Who asked you to come in? It's too inconvenient late at night, so go out."
After saying that, Princess Mingzhao covered her mouth and coughed several more times.
"Princess, please don't be angry," Shen Huaixin took off his cloak, put it aside, and slowly turned his hand over the charcoal fire.
He was wearing a moon-white woven brocade robe, which was also mixed with gold threads. It shone brightly in the candlelight and was very luxurious.
Princess Mingzhao covered half of her face with a handkerchief and lowered her eyelashes to cover up the sarcasm in her eyes.
A hypocritical, cowardly and arrogant man who has no other abilities but wants to pretend to be rich.
In fact, in terms of nobility, he could not compare to the King of Zhennan.
Shen Huaixin didn't know what she was thinking. He turned his hands, and the emerald rings on his fingers shone with a faint and warm light.
Yan Ruyu was lying on her stomach on the couch. She tried this position several times and found the most comfortable one.
Not only could Shen Huaixin not be able to see her face clearly, but she could also glance at Shen Huaixin from time to time.
Yan Ruyu secretly laughed when she saw Shen Huaixin's brocade robe, the ring on his hand, and the golden crown on his head.
Isn't this guy carrying all the valuables in his home?
After all, she had cleaned up the study, warehouse, and underground vault, and there were only a few valuable things.
He also sold a lot of his village and land before.
Another year has passed, the expenses are huge, and the business must be sold.
Shen Huaixin never imagined that the person who bankrupted his family was right in front of him, and his attention was all on Princess Mingzhao.
"If the princess' illness becomes angry, it will be even more difficult to cure."
Princess Mingzhao's face was powdered, and Yan Ruyu gave her some makeup. After extinguishing the candle, she looked extremely haggard, with her cheeks sunken.
Shen Huaixin was very satisfied.
Princess Mingzhao gasped a few times: "What do you mean? Shen Huaixin, what do you want to do? How can I allow you to come and go at will in this princess's boudoir? Get out of here."
"Don't wait for me to call people, everyone's faces will look ugly!"
Princess Mingzhao seemed very angry.
"Calling someone?" Shen Huaixin raised his eyelids and looked at her, "The princess is a smart person, and she doesn't even think about it, why did you, this maid, fall asleep all of a sudden?"
Princess Mingzhao opened her eyes slightly and was just right in shock: "You...what do you mean?"
"People outside are the same as her, so Princess, please don't bother. You don't need to call anyone. I won't do anything to you. I just want to give you a few words of advice."
Princess Mingzhao snorted and ignored it.
Shen Huaixin was not upset, and felt a lot warmer on his body, so he asked: "I heard that the princess has been ill for a long time. I am very concerned and worried. I wonder if the princess is feeling better?"
"Oh, sir, why do you need to ask even though you already know?"
