Yang Tao burst into tears and shouted angrily, "My son is not even a year old!"

Huan Yue simply couldn't understand.

Di Baose was too lazy to guess anymore.

Guo Bing coldly said, "It's already dark, go back and dream."

Alright, Huan Yue had someone escort Yang Tao out.

Yang Tao was taken away before he even left Xuande Gate.

Fang Tang had already left Qing'e Palace, thinking that the Yang family and its nine generations were doomed, and that the King of Wu would definitely deal with this daughter-in-law.

As for the grandson being less than a year old, that's for his own good. If the King of Wu wanted to raise him, wouldn't he be able to?

The Crown Prince has raised both the Eighth and Ninth Princes, so if anyone abuses the children in the future, the Crown Prince can point his finger at them and scold them.

Fang Tang glanced at Qiu Xiang Courtyard and thought, "The Empress is truly formidable. The Crown Prince also keeps Yan Boxuan."

Fang Tang could hear Yan Boxuan arguing with his sister inside the house as she walked in; he was still awake.

Huan Yue returned to the rear hall.

Yu Yanhe laughed and said, "In one cell in prison, Xie Xuan and four or five beautiful concubines, some of whom are pregnant."

Ji said, "Will you give Pei Huanxin a separate room? With Qian and Pei Bo both here, perhaps the family will be reunited."

Whether there was a separate room for Lady Ji is unknown. Logically, it would be better if Pei Huanxin had an abortion, since the Empress doesn't get involved.

**

Xie Zhou returned very late.

His wife went to sleep without leaving the door open for him.

It's very dark, windy, and cold right now.

Although Xie Zhou looked incredibly handsome in his cloak, his heart was cold without a wife to warm his bed.

If someone suddenly appeared out of nowhere, I would have thought it was a stray cat.

Lady Ji was awake and was watching.

Oh wow, she's a beauty!

She looked about fifteen or sixteen years old, and she was wearing very little clothing. How come she didn't freeze to death in this cold?

There are no beggars left in the Eastern Palace. Did they sneak in during the daytime commotion, or did they come around with Yang Tao? That's their real purpose.

Ji Shi's view of beautiful women was naturally different from that of men.

The eunuchs weren't men, so their perspectives were a bit different. "She's so cold she's about to sneeze, is she alright?" "Her lips are turning purple, don't let her illness spread to His Highness!" Several eunuchs were tense. What if they'd failed during the day but succeeded now? That would be such a laughingstock!

It's not surprising; there are plenty of frustrating things in this world.

There was light under the eaves, so Ji could say something objective...

Aside from the fact that the beauty wanted to get closer to His Highness, she was dressed scantily and had a very thin waist, like a hungry beggar.

She has long legs and a long neck, which prevented her from shrinking from the cold. Her face is so small that she doesn't look fifteen or sixteen years old.

Lady Ji concluded that it was her aura, especially the way she looked at His Highness, which was so flirtatious.

Although a beautiful woman is supposed to act pitiful, what else does she have to offer besides being seductive when she appears here?

Xie Zhou had no idea who was so bold as to stay in Qing'e Palace.

His wife, on the other hand, was sleeping soundly.

The eunuch thought to himself, "The Empress has a phoenix mace by her pillow; who would dare to go and get hit?"

If someone is asleep, it's the same as being drunk; you can't beat them to death anyway.

The beauty bit her lip, looking at His Highness. He was warm, with the temperature she needed.

Lady Ji remained silent. If His Highness truly took a liking to someone, the Empress probably wouldn't care. However, with only a dozen or so people here, and the beauty focusing on only His Highness, what's wrong with calling her flirtatious?

Xie Zhou remained silent and did not move his feet.

As if on cue, the beautiful woman said softly, "I'm lost..." and then she felt like crying.

Several palace maids stood with Lady Ji, wanting to laugh.

Getting lost all the way to Qing'e Palace is worse than getting lost all the way to Guangtian Palace.

It must be because the Guangtian Palace was difficult to enter, so Yang Tao and his group came and caused a scene.

It's possible to get lost; the palace is so big, even new palace maids sometimes get lost. But if you get lost, do you really expect to rush to ask someone for directions right away? Would you wait until midnight to confront His Highness?

The palace maids stood with their hands in their sleeves, their necks hunched, practically stamping their feet in frustration. The beauty was truly stunning, even though she was shivering from the cold.

Then Xie Zhou ordered: "Drag him away and give him eighty strokes of the cane."

yes!

The eunuch was so excited that anyone who didn't know better would think something good was going to happen tonight.

The beauty was stunned!

She didn't even have time to struggle before the eunuchs pressed her down and killed her.

Don't disturb Her Majesty's sleep in the middle of the night. The eunuchs are all professionals. Remember to give a five-star review.

Xie Zhou said he was lacking a wife to warm his bed, and yet someone wanted him to? Dream on!

Xie Zhou learned the truth upon returning to the Guangtian Palace.

The eunuch whispered, "The young lady of the Wang family is Wang Chuyuan's cousin."

Xie Zhou didn't want to hear another word from him.

The eunuch understood; there was no need to offend his ears.

The Wang family is finished. Do their young ladies want to end up like the Pei family's daughter? His Highness isn't like Xie Xuan.

The eunuch pondered that His Highness probably preferred something that could lift thirty pounds.

It's safe! It's so safe during the sacrificial ceremony! King Wu must owe the Queen a debt of gratitude for saving his life! He must also remember the Sage's kindness!

To be honest, the King of Wu didn't really act that way. If he had started something earlier, perhaps the right opportunity would have never come?

Xie Zhou prepared to tidy up the Guan family.

The eunuch was curious. With Wang Chuyuan and Pei Jinnu vying for favor in such a heated contest, how could Guan Shi possibly do something like this?

You can't judge a book by its cover, but no matter what, Xie Xuan is finished.

Get up early.

It was so cold that Huan Yue didn't even want to get out of bed, even though her own bedroom was warm.

Before the palace maid could finish speaking to the Empress, the Prince arrived.

His Highness hugged and kissed the Empress, leaving the palace maid unsure whether to dodge or not. In the time it took to hesitate, His Highness was beaten.

The palace maids were busy working quietly on the side.

Xie Zhou was reluctant to part, so he went outside to wait.

It was pitch black at the moment, with only a lamp lit in the main room.

Huan Yue got dressed and came out, but didn't go for a run.

Xie Zhou carried her towards Chengen Hall. The back hall was too small, although it was warm. But Chengen Hall could easily catch fire.

Huan Yue wondered what he was going to do so early in the morning.

Xie Zhou said righteously and sternly, "You should live in the front. There's no place to put the imperial gifts when they arrive."

Huan Yue was stunned. He seemed to recall seeing someone mention buying a house specifically to store their clothes? Or maybe their figurines?

It's all the same, isn't it? She didn't expect it to be like this when she arrived at the East Palace, so whatever happens, happens.

Xie Zhou found her adorable and couldn't stop kissing her.

Huan Yue was increasingly dazed, probably still half asleep. The scoundrel wouldn't let go, so she wrapped her arms around his neck, adding to the weight of the phoenix mace, which weighed over a hundred pounds.

Xie Zhou should truly appreciate the importance of his wife. He's not that useless.

Huan Yue looked left and right and said, "Alright."

Xie Zhou was delighted: "We'll sleep together, you don't need to give me a separate sleeping quarters. The one you got from Guangtian Palace can be kept."

Huan Yue nodded: "Make some minor changes to the east side room, and put things in the east end room and the far end room."

Xie Zhou was satisfied: "The west side room can be your study, and the west corner room can still be used to store things."

Huan Yue nodded: "The rear hall will be used as a storeroom, and the east wing will still be kept, which will be convenient when we are at Jixian Pavilion."

Xie Zhou smiled and kissed her, while his wife waited for him under the ginkgo tree behind them.

Actually, it's very convenient to enter through the back door of Chengen Hall when you're at Jixian Pavilion.

Xie Zhou generally didn't use the back door; the detour wasn't far, and it was convenient to plant things in the backyard.

Huan Yue looked at the scoundrel and said, "Wasn't that beauty from last night good enough?"

Xie Zhou gave him a stern lecture: "How could you be so careless?"

Huan Yue glared! If he continued cursing, he would be cursing Chao Yun.

Never mind. But Xie Zhou heard that they're quite good at hiding things.

Such a small person, if they really wanted to hide in the Qing'e Palace, would be difficult to find in a short time.
