Chapter 65
"W-what, who are you?"
Lu Xiaobai didn't understand what was meant by more yellow and less yellow. There were all kinds of dirty things in his mind!
He stood at the door, carefully looking at the strange man. Not only was he handsome, but he also looked a little familiar. He seemed to be quite similar to He Qin...
Lu Xiaobai suddenly understood something, subconsciously looked back, and muttered to himself: "Could it be He Qin's brother again?"
How powerful are He Qin's parents, giving birth to children one after another?
He forgot that Feng An was not He Qin's younger brother. He just felt that, one moment there was a younger brother of He Qin, the next moment there was a younger brother of He Qin, and now there was another...
No, Lu Xiaobai suddenly remembered that Feng An was not He Qin’s younger brother!
He thought of Feng An, then looked at the man in front of him, and suddenly understood. So he imitated He Qin's appearance, frowned fiercely, stretched out his hands and asked at the door: "Are you He Qin's younger brother, the third brother?"
He Yu didn't understand what the emperor's sister-in-law was trying to do. He nodded subconsciously and said in a gentle tone: "That's right, your humble servant He Yu, I pay my respects..."
Before He Yu finished speaking, Lu Xiaobai only heard him admit that he was the third brother, and that he had cheated on He Qin's third brother!
He immediately became furious. Regardless of whether it was cold or not, he bent down, picked up a lump of snow and threw it directly at the defenseless He Yu's face. Then he said angrily: "How dare you come here? You cheated on your brother and stole his things. How dare you come here today? It's New Year's Day. Don't come here to cause bad luck, okay!"
He Yu wiped the snow off his face, looked at his nose which was red from the cold, and kept shaking his hands because of the snow he had caught. He pretended to be fierce but had no deterrent effect on Lu Xiaobai, which made him a little puzzled.
He came this time to ask his royal brother to go back, and that the fault was indeed his, and he was really sorry for his royal brother.
But what's the matter with cheating on my brother?
When did he ever cheat on his brother?
He Yu was completely confused. He wanted to go in and see his royal brother.
But this guy, who looked fierce but couldn't even open the door, didn't let him in. As a man, he couldn't hit the guy.
This guy is also his sister-in-law. Given his royal brother's temper, if he dares to be mean to this guy, he will definitely be punished, so he doesn't dare.
Fortunately, He Qin noticed something was wrong and asked from inside the shed, "What's going on?"
Hearing He Qin shout, Lu Xiaobai turned around and said fiercely: "Don't come in."
After saying that, Lu Xiaobai walked towards He Qin again with difficulty.
He Qin then carried him out of the snow and placed him next to the brazier. He brushed the snow off him and asked, "What's wrong?"
Lu Xiaobai sniffed, pointed at He Yu who had already walked in through the door, and said aggrievedly: "The brother who cheated on you is here. I didn't let him in and wanted to chase him away, but he was too shameless and wouldn't leave."
He Qin: ...
Whether before or now, He Qin has never been cuckolded.
What's more, He Qin only has Lu Xiaobai as his wife. If they say He Qin is cuckolded, then the one who is cuckolded is Lu Xiaobai, right?
He Qin held his forehead helplessly and said, "You sit by the fire, I'll take care of it."
Lu Xiaobai nodded and sat down obediently to warm himself by the fire.
Because he knew that He Qin definitely didn't want others to know that he was cheated on by his own brother, so he didn't go to avoid making He Qin feel embarrassed.
However, without any New Year's money, Lu Xiaobai couldn't feel happy at all. He sat by the brazier for a while, then got up and ran away.
He walked out of the yard with difficulty, staring blankly at the white snow outside, unable to even distinguish the road.
He hesitated for a while and walked towards the village chief's house, but there were many ditches and bumps in the countryside, and soon he stepped on empty air and fell into a snow pit.
Lu Xiaobai: "Ahhhhh, I'm so cold, so cold..."
Lu Xiaobai cried and tried to get up, but when he stood up from the snow he found that he had fallen into a field where the ridge was higher than him.
The field was very wide, the ridges were high, and the snow was thick. Lu Xiaobai tried several times but couldn't get up...
Everything around was white, and Lu Xiaobai couldn't even tell which side was high and which side was low. He stood alone in the snow, shivering in confusion.
…………………………
In the kitchen, He Qin sat at the table and He Yu knelt on the ground. The atmosphere was extremely tense.
He Yu gritted his teeth and said, "Brother Emperor, I was really wrong. Please go back. Nan He can't live without you."
He Qin glanced at He Yu indifferently, then said, "What will happen to the court if you come here?"
He Yu felt guilty and said with an evasive look, "The Prime Minister is handling it."
During the time when He Qin was away, the Prime Minister was in charge of almost all matters. He was overwhelmed and anxiously waited for He Qin to come back in the palace. However, several months passed without any news.
He Yu became anxious and sent people to look for He Qin continuously. It was not until Feiyun came back that he found He Qin's whereabouts.
When He Zhou heard that his royal brother had been found, he immediately clamored to come over. He had no choice but to release him.
only……
He Yu looked around and found that in this small courtyard, apart from the imperial physician and the guards, there were only the emperor's brother and sister-in-law. So, what about He Zhou?
He Yu asked doubtfully, "Royal brother, where is the fourth brother?"
He Qin was also stunned when he heard this question, and then asked: "Didn't he go back?"
He Yu's face changed: "Impossible, Fourth Brother has never returned since he left the Imperial City!"
He Qin stood up instantly, raised his hand and slapped He Yu in the face: "Didn't you send someone to pick him up? He didn't come back, and you didn't write a letter to ask?"
"I, I didn't? Fourth brother said he would send me a message before he came back, but there has been no news. I thought he was with you. Feng An didn't tell me when he came back. I, I..."
"waste!"
He Qin cursed, then turned and walked out of the room, saying to Ling, "Give the order to mobilize all the Ling clan's secret guards in Nanhe to search for King Zhou. He must be found within seven days!"
Lingyi quickly clasped his fists and said, "Yes!"
He Zhou is in poor health. Although he is spoiled, he is obedient and well-behaved. He is the most loved by his father, the emperor, and his mother, the queen. Even he loves his younger brother very much.
But they never thought that He Zhou actually lied to them and ran out to play by himself.
Although He Qin was angry, he had no choice. None of these younger brothers could make him worry-free!
He Yu covered her face with her hands in grievance, and crawled on her knees towards He Qin, who was standing in a daze at the door. Just as she was about to beg for mercy again, she seemed to hear someone crying.
The voice was intermittent and very low, as if, as if it was the emperor's sister-in-law.
But He Qin was distracted by He Zhou's disappearance and didn't hear anything. Lingyi also went to do a mission, and Lingsan and Lingsi were chopping wood and cooking, so they didn't hear anything either.
So, He Yu gritted his teeth and shouted, "Royal brother, I..."
He Qin: "Shut up!"
He is so stupid that he can't manage his family or govern his country, yet he still dreams of becoming an emperor and unifying the world. What a waste!
"Brother, I heard..."
He Qin: "I know what you are going to say. We will set off on the third day of the new year and return to the imperial city."
Being interrupted by the emperor's brother all the time, He Yu felt very uncomfortable. Taking advantage of his pause, he quickly said, "No, that's not what I want to say. I want to say that I heard the emperor's sister-in-law crying."
He Qin: ...
He Qin was stunned for a few breaths, and then he really heard Lu Xiaobai crying intermittently. He rushed out the door, paused in the yard for a moment and said, "Call her sister-in-law, don't call her the emperor's sister-in-law. If you call her the wrong name, you'll slap yourself in the face!"
He Yu knelt at the door and bowed to He Qin: "Yes!"
Then he looked at the direction where He Qin left, and his heart skipped a beat: It's over, the second royal brother also likes someone else so much, what if he runs away like the eldest royal brother?
Then wouldn't the burden of Nan He fall on him?
He had previously had some fantasies about being an emperor and relished the power that came with it. But when He Qin finally quit, he realized how tiring it was to deal with all that.
Moreover, as a prince he had considerable power and was free. He could receive a salary even if he did not attend court. He no longer wanted to suffer as an emperor.
He Yu looked at the snowy ground worriedly and said, "We must not let Second Brother escape!"
…
When He Qin found Lu Xiaobai, Lu Xiaobai was sitting in the snow, almost buried in it. His face was pale from the cold, and he burst into tears as soon as he saw He Qin: "He Qin, pull me up quickly, I'm freezing to death..."
Although He Qin was speechless, he still pulled the man out of the field as soon as possible, carried him home with an expressionless face, and put him in front of the brazier to roast him.
Looking at Lu Xiaobai's appearance, Ling Si also smashed a large piece of the remaining ginger, added some brown sugar and water, and put it into the pot to make soup, which he would use to relieve Lu Xiaobai's cold later.
Lu Xiaobai's tears froze on his face. He Qin held him in his arms and warmed him by the fire. While cleaning the snow off his body, he asked, "You can't even see the road, what are you running out for?"
Lu Xiaobai sniffed in grievance and whispered, "I don't have any elders here, no one gives me New Year's money. I want to go find the village chief, I want New Year's money!"
He Qin: ...
"He has no relationship with you, so he won't give you any New Year's money."
When Lu Xiaobai heard this, he immediately lowered his head and stopped talking.
He missed home, he missed his parents...
He used to envy the northerners for having fun watching the snow, but now he doesn’t envy them anymore. It’s not fun at all.
Moreover, he has no family to accompany him, and his parents won’t give him red envelopes or buy him gifts.
Lu Xiaobai sniffed in grievance. He Qin touched his hair distressedly and took out a purse with a white background embroidered with black lotus flowers from his arms. He then placed it in Lu Xiaobai's hand and said, "Don't be sad. I'll give you some New Year's money."
Lu Xiaobai looked at the purse and thought it looked nice. It was bulging and heavy, so it must have a lot of money. He squeezed it tightly and said, "You are not my elder."
He Qin said helplessly: "Husband can do the same, keep the money and don't run around."
Lu Xiaobai nodded as he opened it: “Yeah.”
He Yu knelt at the kitchen door and looked over here secretly.
Lu Xiaobai looked at his head and asked subconsciously: "He..."
"He didn't cheat on me."
He Qin knew what Lu Xiaobai was going to say and quickly corrected him: "You are the only one I have ever had from the beginning to the end. No one can cheat on me except you."
Lu Xiaobai: ...
He Qin only has him?
If I continue to say that He Yu has a problem, wouldn't that mean that He Yu and I...
Lu Xiaobai said he couldn't accept it. He was a modern man and could only accept monogamy.
Moreover, although He Yu is handsome, he is far inferior to He Qin.
Lu Xiaobai turned his head awkwardly, wanting to say something to ease the awkwardness, and subconsciously asked, "Then, then why is he kneeling there?"
He Yu knew that Lu Xiaobai had many misunderstandings about him, and wanted to explain himself, so he hurriedly called out, "Empress Sister-in-law..."
As soon as he shouted, he received a sharp look from his brother, and he quickly raised his hand and slapped himself.
There was a loud and crisp "pop" sound, and He Yu's face even had a red mark.
Lu Xiaobai:!!!
