Chapter 313: If your eyesight is not good, consult a doctor
Yu Zhaozhao cried so hard that the two men were obviously panicked, especially Xie Zhili.
He was no longer against Mu Huaian and pulled her over. "Look, why is she crying so hard?"
Xie Zhili looked anxious, hoping that he might be feeling unwell.
Mu Huaian himself was also confused, "Are you uncomfortable lying down all the time?"
Xie Zhili also thought it made sense, so he immediately bent down and took Yu Zhaozhao out of the cradle. Unexpectedly, when he took her in, he smelled a faint scent, and half of his sleeves were wet.
He finally reacted and gave Mu Huaian a meaningful look, "My arms are a little tired, let me hold you for a while."
Mu Huaian didn't think much about it and took it directly from Xie Zhili's arms. As soon as his hand touched it, he felt the wetness.
He immediately looked at Xie Zhili, pursed his lips, his eyes unkind, and his voice turned cold, "You did it on purpose."
Xie Zhili raised an eyebrow, "What's wrong with doing it on purpose? Do you think you dislike it?"
Mu Huaian had no intention of arguing with him, "Why don't you go call someone?"
At this time, Yu Zhaozhao's eyes were red from crying, and she looked so pitiful. But when she saw the mask on Mu Huaian's face, she stopped crying for a moment and stretched out her chubby little hands to grab it.
Mu Huaian subconsciously turned his face away, and Yu Zhaozhao, who failed to catch the mask, started crying again.
Mu Huaian looked helpless. The mother and daughter were the same, both liked to grab his mask.
Xie Zhili, who had called someone back, saw this scene and frowned slightly because he loved his daughter dearly. "If she wants it, just let her play with it for a while."
With so many masks, is this one missing?
But how could he know that Mu Huaian was afraid that taking off the mask would scare Yu Zhaozhao, so he had carefully selected the masks recently, and they were all of very beautiful styles.
At this time, Mother Xu came back. Sang Ru, who followed behind, saw the two men frantically surrounding the little girl. Thinking of how Lord Cheng had taken care of the little girl with ease in the past few months, she shook her head.
In this comparison, Lord Cheng looks more like the child's biological father.
Mother Xu quickly took the little girl back from Mu Huaian's arms and skillfully changed the cloth. After a while, Yu Zhaozhao fell asleep with her mouth smacking under Mother Xu's gentle coaxing.
Looking at his daughter sleeping, blowing bubbles with her little mouth from time to time, the tenderness in Xie Zhili's eyes could turn into water.
He said proudly: "As expected of my daughter, she is so pretty."
Mu Huaian corrected: "It's my daughter."
Xie Zhili didn't care: "Do you have evidence?"
Mu Huaian: "Like me."
Xie Zhili rolled his eyes at him. He couldn't even see his entire face, so how could they be similar?
"If your eyesight isn't good, find a doctor to treat it. If you want a daughter, find someone else to give birth to one."
Counting the days, why are all these his daughters? Is he so short of children that he just snatches any one he can get?
Mu Huaian saw that she clearly looked like his own daughter, so he stopped arguing with Xie Zhili, as it was pointless.
Xie Zhili then thought of Yu Qinghuan and asked Sang Ru, "Isn't she coming back yet?"
It’s already this late, where can Cheng Gongjin take her?
Sang Ru: "The girl probably won't be back tonight."
It's rare for the girl to be with Lord Cheng, so how could she possibly come back?
Mu Huaian's expression paled a little, and he felt a little uneasy that his position was gradually being replaced.
...
The next day, in the Golden Palace.
Listening to the court officials quarreling below, Xiao Jinghe looked tired. He hadn't seen Yu Qinghuan for more than half a month. Even when they met last time, Yu Qinghuan was busy taking care of her daughter and didn't pay much attention to him.
Thinking of Yu Zhaozhao, who had been holding on to his jade pendant and laughing in a childish voice last time, he felt very complicated.
The little girl has delicate skin and tender flesh, and she is getting more and more beautiful. It would be great if she were his daughter, but why does she have to be someone else's?
Thinking of this, Xiao Jinghe missed Yu Qinghuan a little, but he had been busy with political affairs in the past two days and didn't even have the time to leave the palace to see her. He could only look at the small portrait sent back by the secret guard to relieve his longing for Yu Qinghuan.
Seeing that the people below were still arguing, he felt a headache. "I am tired. If there is nothing else, I will withdraw from the court."
At this moment, the Imperial Censor Mai Lang stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty! I have something to report!"
As soon as they saw him come out, all the court officials fell silent. They looked at each other, wondering who was so unlucky today to be reported by Censor Mai.
Xiao Jinghe waved his hand, signaling him to speak quickly if he had anything to say.
Censor Mai said, "Your Majesty, a new restaurant opened in the city yesterday. They're selling the imperial wine, Thousand Day Brew. I suspect someone powerful in the court is profiting from this restaurant. Your Majesty, please investigate thoroughly!"
Xiao Jinghe narrowed his narrow eyes slightly, a thousand-day brew?
It seems that Yu Qinghuan's restaurant opened yesterday and many customers came. Even Censor Mai noticed it.
Lord Gu laughed out loud, "Lord Mai, I went to that restaurant you mentioned yesterday, but I didn't get to drink the Thousand Days Wine you mentioned!"
He had said that yesterday because he was targeting Censor Mai. Looking at Censor Mai's expression, he actually went to Fuyan Tower yesterday.
It seems that he suffered a heavy loss yesterday, and today he was filled with righteous indignation and made a report, thinking that someone was making money behind the restaurant.
Censor Mai ignored him. Selling imperial wine was a serious crime. If everyone followed suit and sold it at a high price, wouldn’t the capital be in chaos?
He immediately told what happened yesterday, and also mentioned Xie Zhili, Mu Huaian and others, saying that they were also in Fuyan Tower yesterday.
Xiao Jinghe turned his gaze to Xie Zhili, "Xie Aiqing, is this true?"
Xie Zhili looked at Censor Mai with sympathy. Yesterday, he kindly reminded him, but he didn't take it seriously. Today, in front of so many people, he asked Xiao Jinghe, the person who sent the imperial wine out of the palace to sell, to investigate this matter thoroughly.
He really lived too happily and didn't even think about himself. All the imperial wine in the palace was registered. Except for Xiao Jing and himself, who else dared to smuggle it out of the palace?
He walked out of the crowd and said, "Your Majesty, I didn't taste any thousand-day brewed wine. It's just an ordinary wine with a similar taste."
Seeing that he was lying with his eyes open, Censor Mai's face turned ugly. "Thank you, sir, do you have a share in that restaurant? That's why you are speaking up for him!"
Xie Zhili didn't take it seriously, "Master Mai, you must provide evidence when you speak."
I would like to have one, but Yu Qinghuan won't let me.
Censor Mai was furious and said, "What evidence do you need? We have already protected it!"
"Your Majesty, smuggling imperial wine is a serious crime and must be..."
Xiao Jinghe interrupted him directly, looking nonchalant, "It's just a restaurant, Mr. Mai, there's no need to bring up such things in the future."
Why should he conduct a strict investigation? If all the civil and military officials knew that he was the one who smuggled the wine out of the palace to sell, how would he, as the king, put his face aside?
Censor Mai was anxious. Seeing that Xiao Jinghe didn't believe him, he wanted to say a few more words.
Xiao Jinghe stood up and left the court.
After walking out of the hall, Xie Zhili was stopped by Censor Mai.
Censor Mai: "Thank you, sir!"
He raised his eyebrows and asked, "Master Mai, what advice do you have?"
Censor Mai snorted coldly, "I used to think you were a fellow traveler, but now it seems you're just like them, birds of a feather!"
