Chapter 268 When the Cannon Fodder Prime Minister is Discovered in Man's Clothing (29)
"Open the door Suisui, here I come~~"
An extremely excited tone came through the door. Sui Yu rarely showed a little shyness, and looked at Chu Yinci with trembling eyelashes.
Chu Yinci smiled indulgently, and only put down the handkerchief when he saw that there was no more water dripping from Suiyu's hair. "Tell Yancheng to wipe it again later. Don't sleep with wet hair."
It was enough for him to know that Yan Cheng got this opportunity to "sleep with the emperor" just to deliberately anger him. As for whether to break the contract, that was Sui Yu's own decision.
He had known in Ningguang long ago that Sui Yu would definitely not belong to him alone.
The mysterious poison doctor who can kill people with a single word, and the future owner of the Duke Dingguo Mansion, neither of them is easy to mess with.
But fortunately, they are all willing to humble themselves for Sui Yu, and even if they dislike each other, they can maintain a peaceful appearance for the time being.
As for the rest...it depends on your own ability.
When he opened the door, he saw Yan Cheng holding a quilt at the door. Chu Yinci walked out calmly without saying a word to him.
Yan Cheng didn't want to talk to anyone except Sui Yu. The joy on his face remained unchanged. He sat down on Sui Yu's bed with a quilt in his arms.
He skillfully picked up the dry towel beside him and wiped Sui Yu's wet hair bit by bit.
She was extremely patient and showed no sign of distraction. She waited until Sui Yu's hair was almost dry and then carefully applied hair oil on her.
The light fragrance of flowers lingered around, and Yan Cheng felt like he was about to fly.
No wonder those people like the land of pleasure so much and want to save money to marry a wife. He wants it too now.
When he climbed onto the bed and occupied a spot, Yan Cheng dared to turn around and ask Sui Yu, fearing that he would be driven away again.
"Sui Sui sleeps inside or outside?"
Sui Yu lifted the quilt and lay down, "You are asking unnecessary questions."
Yan Cheng smiled so hard that his eyebrows were covered with tears, and he also lay down and hugged her, "I was afraid that you would be angry too."
He didn't get angry even though Sui Yu glanced at him. He just hugged Sui Yu tightly and didn't want to let go at all.
Suddenly, as if remembering something, he raised his head with shining eyes, "Sui Sui, do you want to see me cry now?"
He hid a piece of ginger in his arms. If worst came to worst, he could poison himself, but he was afraid that the poison would not work on him.
Ginger pieces are more reliable.
Sui Yu raised her hand and pushed him, "Just lie down quietly. I have to go to court tomorrow. If you make trouble again, I will kick you out of the yard."
This kind of threat hit Yan Cheng's soft spot. He didn't want Xia Mochi to think that he had fallen out of favor, so he kept his mouth shut and only dared to rub gently.
After Sui Yu fell asleep, he kissed her again and again with great affection, kissing her eyes, nose tip, lips corners, earlobes... He thought every part of her was so cute.
She is so sweet and soft. How could I have been so stupid before and have thought of killing her?
Such a lively and smart child should live a hundred years.
Yan Cheng's eyes and eyebrows were full of joy. He propped up his head and stared at Sui Yu until some light came through the window. Then he half-hid the joy in his heart and fell asleep on the bed.
......
Sui Yu was awakened by the gentle call of Lu Ming outside the door. When she opened her eyes, she saw Yan Cheng sleeping very soundly with the corners of his lips raised.
Her mood also became a little happier. Sui Yu raised her hand and tapped his forehead. Seeing the man's thick dark brows frowned, she stood up with satisfaction.
When he was dressed, Yan Cheng was still asleep.
I don’t know if he went to steal last night. When this thought crossed Sui Yu’s mind, she couldn’t stop the smile on her lips.
When the hot water for washing was brought in, Lu Ming's round eyes were full of amazement. Could this be his future...wife?
But he is a man!
Uncle?
This doesn't make sense!
Lu Ming scratched his head, and when he saw Chu Yinci again at the corner, he was even more confused.
That's still two!
Forget it, just do his job well.
As for who is the master's favorite...let the master worry about it himself.
----
Today's court is much more lively than yesterday.
Xi Cui, who returned a few days later, waited until the new magistrate arrived before returning to Beijing to report on his work. Naturally, he also had to explain all the matters that had been put on hold before.
As far as Sui Yu knew, there would always be new noble families emerging in Ningguang, but the Hu family had always been well-behaved and had influence in Beijing, and they were part of the Third Prince's faction.
I'm afraid this matter was also driven by the emperor's instructions.
The territory of the newly opened sea suppressed the fourth prince's channel for making money, and was quietly transferred to the third prince.
This kind of scheme is likely to put everyone in the game of chess.
But it has nothing to do with Sui Yu. She just needs to be a loyal minister.
She would do whatever the emperor wanted her to do.
"Everything is going smoothly with the opening of the sea. The Dongyi, Ximan, and the small countries near the Ningguang Sea have all expressed their intention to come to our dynasty to do business..."
Xi Cui spoke in a calm tone, but when he talked about the previous treatment of the Ningguang family, he paused for a moment, as if he was at a loss for words.
Emperor Xuanwu's expression remained unchanged, and the eunuch standing beside him said with great tact, "Master Xi, please speak clearly."
Xi Cui then straightened his court robes and knelt on the ground. "I have investigated thoroughly day and night. Those noble families lied about their surplus grain, and 40% of it was sold to the county magistrate. And then..."
"Then all the money was converted into silver and sent to Lord Li's residence."
At this moment, the Dali Temple Minister also stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the Prime Minister was assassinated while traveling in plain clothes. It turns out... it was the Li family who hired the assassin."
Li Xingchun froze up, rushed to the middle, knelt on the ground, and began to defend himself: "Please Your Majesty, please understand why I acted like this!"
The fourth prince clenched his fists, fearing that this incident would displease Emperor Xuanwu.
Only Sui Yu was content to watch the show from the sidelines.
As soon as she was assassinated, she sent someone to report to the Dali Temple. If someone asked for a reason, she would give it to him.
At this moment, after this big show is over, I am afraid the result will be to handle it with caution.
Now is not the time for the Fourth Prince to fall completely.
Sure enough, there was a huge quarrel below, with both sides holding their own opinions. In the end, Emperor Xuanwu only demoted Li Xingchun's position.
As for the Fourth Prince, he was not implicated at all.
Seeing the twists and turns clearly, Sui Yu would certainly not wade into the muddy water.
Finally, the court was dismissed and Sui Yu got on the carriage back home. Halfway through the journey, she was suddenly shaken and almost fell out of the carriage.
