Chapter 563: Young Master Liu Yue
Upstairs of the Little Red Building.
When Liu Yue closed the window, a hand hugged him from behind.
A trace of disgust appeared on Liu Yue's face, but that disgust disappeared in an instant and turned into indifference. He looked at the person behind him.
Although the eldest princess is over 40 years old, she is well maintained and looks very young.
"Unhappy?"
"No."
"Have you read the two books I sent you today?"
"I saw it."
"Do you like it?"
"It's the rare copy I've been looking for. Thank you, Princess."
The eldest princess looked at his eyes, which were cold in the least, with mixed emotions.
Liu Yue had been with her for three years, initially reluctantly. The princess had many male favorites, and didn't they all try to please her? However, she had a special interest in Liu Yue, and over the past three years, her interest in him had waned rather than grown.
She built this little red building and collected various rare books to make him happy.
Sometimes, when he found some particularly rare and unique books, a faint smile appeared on his face.
The eldest princess felt an extraordinary sense of accomplishment, and thought that everything was worth it just because of the beautiful woman's smile.
The eldest princess was used to his indifference.
She looked at him quietly for a while, then took his hand and said, "Come back to the Princess's Mansion with me."
…
Marquis' Mansion.
Tang Li had been thinking about Young Master Liu Yue. In the evening, Fourteen reported his investigation results to her.
The eldest princess got married when she was a teenager. She didn't marry the person she loved, but he was able to provide help to the emperor.
Later, when the emperor ascended the throne and the eldest princess no longer needed to rely on marriage to consolidate the imperial power, she divorced her husband.
After the divorce, the eldest princess returned to the capital, and the emperor rewarded her with a large fiefdom. The eldest princess began to keep male favorites, perhaps to compensate for the loss, the emperor allowed the eldest princess to keep male favorites.
The eldest princess's male favorites change frequently, but only this Young Master Liu Yue is special.
Young Master Liu Yue has been with the eldest princess for three years and has always been favored.
However, strangely, no information can be found about Mr. Liu Yue’s past, and no one knows his birth origins.
"The princess is extremely wary of those around her. Even the master can't place anyone close to her," Fourteen said. "The same goes for the princess's male favorites. Their identities are kept secret to prevent them from exploiting their weaknesses or threatening them to harm her."
Tangli seemed to be lost in thought.
Yes, it would be the most terrifying thing if the people around her betrayed her and stabbed her in the back.
This Young Master Liu Yue has been with the eldest princess for three years, so he should know a lot of her secrets.
Tang Li wanted to help her husband, but she could only stay in the capital. She wondered if she could start with the people around the princess...
…
Doctor Su stayed in the palace for several months.
The Queen Mother still hasn't recovered her memories of those twenty years, but the poison in her body is almost gone...
Seeing that the matter was resolved, Tang Li asked Doctor Su to find an excuse and resign.
He was staying in the Imperial Hospital, and Tang Li was very worried.
Doctor Su successfully resigned and left the Imperial Hospital.
He was just a small doctor, and his resignation did not cause any commotion or attract anyone's attention.
…
In a blink of an eye, Wei Qing had been away for five days.
In the past, five days passed very quickly, but these five days were very slow for Tangli.
She often thought of her husband.
I don’t know if it’s safe on the road, I don’t know if I’ve eaten enough, and I’m sure I won’t be able to sleep well if I’m rushing all the way.
It's been raining in the capital for two days. I wonder if it will rain on the way to Wangxian County...
Tangli always thought about these things, looking at her bulging belly and stroking it gently.
"Baby, you miss daddy too, right?"
Ever since Wei Qing left, the babies seemed to be quieter and no longer rolled around in her belly.
"I miss him too." Tang Li muttered, looking out the window.
Wei Qing should have arrived in Wangxian County. I don’t know how the investigation is going and how those people are making things difficult for him.
Tangli's belly is getting bigger day by day.
Doctor Su said that she couldn't lie down all day and should walk around more to facilitate delivery.
Therefore, in the evening, after the sun sets and it is not so hot, Tangli always walks around.
One day, Tangli was walking on the road when he suddenly heard a strange sound coming from the alley.
She was accompanied by a maid and a guard. When she saw her looking over, the maid quickly blocked her in. A guard walked to the side of the alley and took in the situation inside.
"Madam, a few thugs are bullying a woman!" said the guard.
Tang Li nodded slightly, and the two guards walked into the alley.
After a fight, the thugs were beaten away, leaving only a woman who fainted in the alley.
The guard naturally didn't know how to deal with this woman, so he could only look at Tang Li.
Tang Li looked at the woman who was in a miserable state, weak and half-naked, and made a quick decision. No matter who she was, he couldn't just stand by and watch her die.
"Take him back to the Marquis' Mansion." Tang Li said.
After returning to the Marquis' Mansion, Tang Li asked Doctor Su to treat the woman.
After examining her, Doctor Su said that she fainted because she was weak and overly tired, and there was nothing else seriously wrong with her.
Doctor Su prescribed some nourishing medicine for her, and Tangli left a maid to take care of her.
The next day, the woman woke up and wanted to see her savior.
Tang Li entered the yard and was a little surprised when he saw the woman.
Yesterday I saw that woman, she looked very disheveled, with a black face and disheveled hair. Today she changed her clothes, washed her face, tied her hair up, and had a pretty face. She was a good-looking woman.
The woman looked at Tangli and hurried over: "Are you Madam Wu? You saved me?"
Tang Li nodded: "Are you feeling unwell anywhere?"
The woman shook her head and thanked Tang Li: "My name is Xu Jiao, thank you madam for saving my life."
If she hadn't been rescued by this lady, she couldn't imagine what she would have faced...
"Are you from Beijing?" Tang Li asked.
Xu Jiao shook her head: "I am from Qinghe County and came to the capital three months ago... I came to the capital to find my husband."
Xu Jiao recounted her past events one by one.
She and her husband were childhood sweethearts and met in academy.
Her parents loved her very much. She wanted to study, so she disguised herself as a man and entered a college, where she met her husband.
When her husband discovered that she was a girl, he took good care of her and they secretly fell in love.
Later, her husband came to propose marriage, and the two got engaged.
When she was fifteen, they got married. Although they didn't have any children, her husband treated her very well and didn't despise her. Instead, their love grew deeper day by day.
"My husband is very smart. He ranked first in the county exam and did well in the provincial exam. Everyone thought he would definitely pass the imperial exam..." Xu Jiao's eyes sparkled when she talked about her husband.
She still remembered that her husband came to the capital to take part in the imperial examination. On the day they separated, her husband said that he would come back to take her to be an official’s wife... At that time, she felt reluctant but also expectant.
"However, three and a half years ago, my husband came to the capital to take the imperial examination, and there has been no news since then."
