Chapter 272 He dares to hide my woman?!
Yu Qinghuan leaned in Cheng Gongjin's arms, looking up but unable to see the expression on his face when he spoke.
Because it was broad daylight, the servants along the way saw the scene clearly. They all stared with wide eyes, thinking they were seeing things.
Their master, who was not interested in women, actually came back with Miss Yu in his arms.
But this Miss Yu...she is obviously the young master's woman, and is pregnant with his child, so why is she so close to the master?
sky!
There are so many secrets in the wealthy families. Even the always self-disciplined Cheng Ge Lao is not immune to them. If those outsiders knew about this, wouldn't they be shocked?!
Hearing Cheng Gongjin mention Xiao Jinghe in the palace, Yu Qinghuan was slightly stunned and said in a muffled voice, "So you want to drive me away?"
Given Xiao Jinghe's personality, she will definitely come to him, and by then, Cheng Gongjin will probably not be able to keep her.
After all, Xiao Jinghe is the emperor now, and no matter how powerful Cheng Gongjin is, he is still a subject.
Cheng Gongjin didn't respond to her question, but asked, "Do you still want to live here?"
Yu Qinghuan: "Can I still live here?"
She blinked, and it was not until they entered the yard and Cheng Gongjin put her on the rocking chair in the yard that she was able to see the person in front of her clearly.
There is no expression, completely unchanged from before.
This person probably only shows some emotions when he is in bed.
Just when Yu Qinghuan thought he was about to leave, Cheng Gongjin suddenly leaned over, his wide purple sleeves supporting both sides of the rocking chair, trapping Yu Qinghuan in a small space.
He lifted a strand of Yu Qinghuan's black hair that was scattered on the back of the chair with his fingertips. His voice was light, but his eyes were heavy. "As long as you want, you can."
The rocking chair creaked as Cheng Gongjin lowered it, unable to bear the weight. Yu Qinghuan's heart beat faster when he looked at her.
“But aren’t you afraid of him…Xiao Jinghe?”
Cheng Gongjin's Adam's apple moved slightly, and the fragrance of ink filled her ears. "I am a dying man, what do I have to be afraid of?"
As she watched his face getting closer and closer, Yu Qinghuan's heart beat faster and faster, and her cheeks became hot.
To her, this meant: To die under the peony flowers is to be a romantic ghost.
Cheng Gongjin's eyes swept across the blush on her cheeks. "Why are you blushing?"
Yu Qinghuan said nothing, but took the initiative to hook her arms around Cheng Gongjin's neck, pulled him in front of her, and kissed him.
Butler Yang originally wanted to ask when dinner would be, but he saw this scene.
His eyes went dark, his body swayed, and he almost fainted.
...
At this time, in the imperial study in the palace, the scent of ambergris filled the air, but it could not suppress the murderous atmosphere that filled the room.
Xiao Jinghe sat behind the imperial desk, holding the secret report just presented by the spy in his hand. His knuckles turned white from the force, and his eyes became increasingly gloomy.
The next moment, he suddenly raised his hand and smashed the teacup on the table to the ground!
“Bang!”
The fine celadon teacup smashed to pieces on the ground, tea splashed everywhere, and broken pieces of porcelain flew everywhere. The eunuchs standing by were so frightened that they trembled and knelt down in panic.
"What a Cheng Gongjin!" Xiao Jinghe sneered, with a cold light in his eyes. He actually dared to hide my woman.
He stood up, the sleeves of his dragon robe rolled up, his face grim, "Du Yunxiao!"
Du Yunxiao, who was waiting outside the hall, came in upon hearing the sound, knelt on one knee, clasped his fists, and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty is here."
Xiao Jinghe stared down at him, "I order you to take the Jinwu Guards to the Cheng Mansion immediately and bring Yu Qinghuan back to me!"
Du Yunxiao, who was originally sad because of being rejected by Yu Qinghuan, felt his heart skip a beat when he heard Xiao Jinghe asking him to bring the person into the palace.
Your Majesty indeed knew it.
He immediately advised: "Your Majesty, after all, Elder Cheng is an important official in the court. It would be inappropriate to rashly lead troops in."
"What's wrong with that?" Xiao Jinghe interrupted harshly, his eyes burning with anger. "He dared to hide my woman, so he should know the consequences!"
Du Yunxiao was silent for a moment. Huanhuan left the palace because she must have disliked staying in the palace.
The emperor's order cannot be disobeyed, but that is the woman he loves, and he will never stand by and watch.
"Your Majesty, I know you care about Miss Yu, but if you forcibly bring her into the palace, I'm afraid she will be hurt and even push her further away."
Xiao Jinghe's eyes froze, and his knuckles clenched white.
He knew very well that doing so would push his beloved woman further away, but with Yu Qinghuan's personality, how could she willingly come to see him unless he put a knife to her neck?
But now he had calmed down a bit. Xiao Jinghe looked at Du Yunxiao in front of him and asked coldly, "Mr. Du, according to what you said, what should I do?"
Du Yunxiao pondered for a moment and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, why don't you test Miss Yu's feelings... If Miss Yu realizes her love for you, she might take the initiative to enter the palace."
Xiao Jinghe listened to his random words, his eyes fixed, as if he had thought of an idea, a sneer appeared at the corner of his lips, and the anger in his eyes gradually subsided, turning into a deeper calculation.
He sat back on the dragon chair, tapping the armrest with his fingertips. "Call the imperial physician and tell him that I'm overly worried and seriously ill, vomiting blood and comatose."
Du Yunxiao was slightly stunned, "Your Majesty?"
Xiao Jinghe's eyes were dark, and his voice was low and dangerous: "Keep an eye on the Cheng Mansion. I want to know her every move and who she gets close to."
Du Yunxiao: "Yes."
After leaving the imperial study, Du Yunxiao felt heavy-hearted. Xiao Jinghe was trying to use a self-torture trick to force Yu Qinghuan to show up.
He was afraid that Yu Qinghuan really cared about Xiao Jinghe and would take the initiative to step into Xiao Jinghe's trap.
He was also afraid that if Yu Qinghuan didn't fall for his trick, Xiao Jinghe would go even crazier and do other things to force Yu Qinghuan.
...
When the song ended, Mu Huaian pulled the corners of his mouth and raised a slightly forced smile, "It sounds good."
Hearing this, Xie Zhiwen was excited. He stood up and walked to his side. "Even you say it's good, then there must be no problem!"
For more than half a year, he has been studying the piano behind closed doors, just to prove to Yu Qinghuan that as long as she likes it, he can learn it and is definitely no worse than Xie Zhili.
Now that I have learned a lot, even my good friends who are also excellent in piano playing say that it sounds good, so it must be right.
Mu Huaian didn't expect that Xie Zhiwen could really lock himself up in the mansion and practice hard for half a year.
A person who used to be unable to sit still unless he went out of the house to have fun for two days, now practices the piano so well, which shows that he really loves Yu Qinghuan.
Realizing this, Mu Huaian felt bitter in his heart. Looking at his good friend who was looking forward to reuniting with his wife, he opened his lips, wanting to tell her about himself and Yu Qinghuan, but in the end, the words were stuck in his throat and he couldn't say them.
He left quietly, but met Xie Zhili's mocking gaze.
"He practiced the piano just to win back Yu Qinghuan, and you still taught him. How generous of you."
Mu Huaian's face looked a little ugly after being hit in the sore spot, and he didn't want to argue with Xie Zhili.
He walked past and wanted to leave Ningyuan Marquis Mansion, but Xie Zhili grabbed his arm and he staggered slightly.
Xie Zhili said coldly, "If you want to be generous, then be generous on your own, don't take me with you."
The woman I fought so hard to get, I will never just give her back to Xie Zhiwen like that!
