"..." She forgot about that and her face immediately turned bright red.
Qi Yu couldn't help but chuckle at her expression, glancing at the box she had left on the table last night. "Or do you want me to use it..."
Her face flushed red, and she hurriedly said, "I didn't, I didn't! The Grand Eunuch is wise and mighty, and would never be petty enough to retaliate for forcing me to sleep in the same bed with him last night!"
She flattered herself so much that she admired herself.
Qi Yu was speechless for a while before finally letting out a hum.
"To think you're so clever."
Xia Yixin argued that Qi Yu was so easy to bully ten years ago, sob sob.
Before leaving, Qi Yu made sure to give some instructions.
"Change the way you address me, so that others don't hear it and it gets back to the Emperor, causing me trouble."
"Yes, yes, yes, I will certainly follow your teachings."
Hmph, that arrogant brat.
Xia Yixin watched as someone was about to leave, and suddenly noticed that his belt was a little crooked. She called out to him and straightened it for him.
Qi Yu looked at the person who was carefully tidying his clothes with her eyes down and suddenly felt that having someone by his side wasn't so bad.
This way.
In Xia Yixin's mind, the system was popping up: "The male supporting character's happiness value has reached 78%, host, you're doing very well."
The young emperor generously granted him a half-month leave, but how could the "workaholic" Cao Anmin (Qi Yu) really ignore everything? On the second day of his marriage, he went to the study with Lin Sikong.
Now that the army has returned to the capital, there are still many things to be done.
Xia Yixin also had things to do.
The steward of the governor's mansion gave her an account book and a key.
She looked at the property deeds, shops, docks, and the general classification of various rare treasures in the booklet, and swallowed hard.
This is just a rough account; there would probably be several detailed records.
Roughly speaking, Qi Yu is now so wealthy that he could rival a nation.
Later, Xia Yixin learned that the warehouse key she held was only one of his dozen or so warehouses, and the smallest one at that, so his true wealth was immeasurable.
However, Xia Yixin felt a sense of satisfaction.
When she was empress, she also controlled the six palaces, but because she had no interest in Qi Yu, she didn't care and left everything to her subordinates.
But now, I really feel like the matriarch of the household.
Her original dowry was also included, and she carefully organized it, selling off unprofitable shops or properties, and then sorting through all sorts of miscellaneous pearls, agates, and jade, making things even more meticulous.
The old steward of the governor's mansion looked at her with great respect and admiration.
After the governor's mansion acquired a mistress, some details gradually began to change. More flowers, plants, and trees were added, many old and discarded furniture pieces were replaced, and even the servants had several more sets of clothes.
Gradually.
The entire governor's mansion transformed from a lifeless place into a vibrant one.
As for Qi Yu, although she knew that if her happiness level increased quickly, she would leave quickly, she couldn't help but want to be good to him.
Her body had not yet recovered, and in addition to needing to take medicine every day, she naturally took over the task of continuing to recuperate Qi Yu's body. She was surprised to find that the special energy that had been gathered in his eyes had dispersed. In addition to his restored vision, his internal strength had even increased again.
According to the system's estimates, he is invincible in this dimension.
Thanks to her treatment, he successfully escaped the fate of "dying within five years," and even his previous hidden ailments improved significantly.
On the contrary, Xia Yixin's body needed conditioning. Qi Yu even bought a prescription from somewhere to treat her throat, and it actually showed some effect. However, Xia Yixin was afraid of exposing her identity, so she didn't dare to take it continuously.
When Cao Anmin (Qi Yu) took off his mask, not only did the people of the capital be stunned, but the constables of the Eastern Depot were also a little confused.
Their master is so handsome! No wonder he is the person they admire!
That immortal was as if he had stepped out of a painting, incomparably handsome, but his cold and murderous aura made people dare not approach him easily.
However, whether it was because of the missing mask or something else, Gui Ling felt that his master seemed to have... become a little more popular?
Until he saw his master leisurely take a sip of tea and utter a few words to him, "Have you seen enough?"
"Your subordinate wouldn't dare!" Gui Ling knelt down in a panic.
Just as the man was squinting with satisfaction, a woman's hoarse voice rang out behind Gui Ling.
"Don't get angry while taking medicine, adults, don't scare people."
Immediately, Gui Ling felt as if he had been granted a pardon and quickly apologized and left.
Qi Yu was getting bored to death staying in the governor's mansion every day, but no matter how late he returned from investigating cases, she would always wait for him. Moreover, she was getting bolder and bolder, and even dared to scold him.
"Who gave you the audacity to interfere with this Grand Eunuch?" he said sternly.
She smiled and said, "It was given to me by an adult." She was no longer afraid of him.
"..." Very well, this girl is becoming more and more unruly, and he doesn't even want to strangle her.
Xia Yixin ignored his inner turmoil, checked his pulse, cooled the freshly brewed medicine, and handed it to him.
He drank it down without even flinching.
He was originally said to be the reincarnation of a celestial being ten years ago, and now he is even more handsome and dashing, with exquisite features.
She stared at him blankly, her mind filled with the thought, "This man is my husband, the man I love," feeling dizzy and disoriented.
He noticed her gaze and asked, puzzled, "What's wrong?"
She blurted out, "You are so handsome."
After she finished speaking, she suddenly realized what she had said, quickly put away the bowl and ran away, her face so red it could bleed.
He watched the person fleeing in disarray, and the corners of his lips unconsciously turned up. Why was he feeling a little proud?
He could see the recent changes in the mansion; the subtle feeling of home was growing stronger, making him unconsciously spend more time there each day.
In just seven days, their relationship had become much closer than he had expected.
He wasn't blind anymore; he could see the emotions in her eyes.
This sudden surge of emotion struck Qi Yu as odd, especially since the woman had previously seemed close to him but had actually kept her distance. If she had ulterior motives…
Qi Yu's eyes darkened slightly.
That night, the two slept in separate beds as usual.
However, one night, he suddenly discovered that she seemed to have had some kind of nightmare, and she was absent-minded every day. He even caught her peeking at him several times.
The man was completely baffled.
Xia Yixin was a little troubled. Perhaps because she had opened her heart and spent every day with him, she inexplicably had a shameful dream, and the protagonist was Qi Yu.
Xia Yixin felt that her thoughts were dangerous, and even if Qi Yu was... he was a eunuch.
No. She needs to adjust her mindset, stop overthinking, and get away from Qi Yu to calm down.
Unfortunately, plans can't keep up with changes.
The next day, the guards responsible for watching over the ice house outside sent a message that at dawn, Tafeng and Liuyun had run away from the stable while the stable feeder wasn't looking.
