At noon, Wen Yu woke up from her sleep.
Lin Yuzhi disappeared, and the painting on the drawing board also disappeared.
"I actually read it and took it away..."
Wen Yu thought that this was just Lin Yuzhi's drunken nonsense. After he sobered up, he was like the other men, not daring to even look at the painting, let alone take it away.
Lin Yuzhi gave him a surprise.
What Wen Yu could not have imagined was that Lin Yuzhi not only looked at it, but also looked at it for a long time; not only looked at it for a long time, but also touched it; not only touched it, but also drew it in great detail.
Because in Lin Yuzhi's mind, this was not just a simple nude painting, but the gaze that Wen Yu gave him when she painted him.
So focused, so serious, even burning.
The princess had never looked at him like that, except last night.
After Wen Yu had lunch, Luo Han knelt gently at her feet and said, "Princess, Luo Han has unbearable pain in his back today. I would like to ask the princess to give me some medicine."
Liuchun on the side:?
When I asked you yesterday, didn’t you say it didn’t hurt?
Wen Yu heard this and asked, "What's wrong with your back?"
"Nothing, I just bumped into the door frame accidentally. It didn't hurt last night, but today it hurts a lot for some reason."
Luo Han lowered his eyes as he spoke, raised his hand and peeled off the collar of one shoulder, twisted his body slightly, revealing his bare shoulders and a large area of his back. There was a forearm-long purple bruise on his back that went through his shoulder blade, looking somewhat hideous.
Wen Yu frowned: "Is it so serious? Liuchun, bring the blood-dispersing medicine from the shelf."
Liu Chun, who was avoiding the situation, responded, took the medicine without looking away, put it on the table, and then walked out.
Wen Yu asked: "Did you really bump into him accidentally?"
"Um."
Wen Yu gently touched the bruise with her fingertips: "Does it hurt?"
Luo Han shuddered slightly: "It hurts a bit..."
He leaned against Wen Yu's legs, looked up at her, blinked his eyes gently, and his eyes were incredibly pure. However, with his shirt half-off, he really didn't look pure at all.
"Luohan can't see what's happening on his back. Princess, can you tell Luohan?"
Wen Yu lowered her eyes and chuckled when she heard this: "Seducing this princess?"
Luo Han nodded: "Yes, I seduce the princess, but it hurts."
Wen Yu picked up the medicine bottle, poured some into her palm, rubbed it, and slowly placed it on his shoulder blade, rubbing it up and down.
Luo Han was shocked and said, "Princess, how can you help me apply medicine..."
"Don't move." Wen Yu's hand, which was applying medicine, moved from his back to his neck, and finally lifted his chin. A strong scent of medicine penetrated into his nose.
He heard Wen Yu say, "You are quite skilled at seducing me. How many times have you done this?"
Luo Han's face turned pale when he heard this, and a trace of grievance flashed in his innocent eyes.
Although the princess took a picture of his virginity, she still doubted whether he was born in Nanfeng Pavilion and was clean.
"No, Luohan has never seduced anyone except the princess. Princess, please don't misunderstand Luohan. Luohan is truly innocent."
"Look how scared you are." Wen Yu curled her lips, "When did I say you are not innocent?"
She stuffed the medicine into Luo Han's hand and said, "You will serve in the inner courtyard from now on. Lin Yuzhi was wrong yesterday. Next time I will punish him and let you vent your anger."
Luo Han clenched the medicine bottle tightly: "Is the princess's punishment really a punishment?"
Wen Yu:……?
She gave Luo Han a light slap on the face: "What else? You want to try it?"
Luo Han raised his eyes: "Luo Han wants to try."
Wen Yu: ...
On the other hand, the emperor already knew everything that happened in the princess's mansion last night. Naturally, it was Yu Yi who reported it.
After reading it, the emperor pinched his brows, feeling a little amused, helpless, and a little angry, but he couldn't get angry because of Wen Yu.
"My important officials in the court actually fought in the princess's mansion, and it was all because of a prostitute from the South Wind Pavilion. How shameful would it be if this got out?"
Yu Yi knelt on one knee, silent.
The emperor seemed to have just complained, and did not delve into the fight. Instead, he asked, "Have you investigated the background of that young man? Is he from a clean family? We cannot allow anyone with ill intentions to get around my sister."
Yu Yi said, "Reporting to His Majesty, we have found out that Luo Han was sold to Nanfeng Pavilion by his gambling father when he was nine years old. When he was young, his appearance was not obvious, and he had been doing firework work. As he grew older, he learned to hide his appearance to protect himself, but was discovered by the cook in the kitchen..."
Yu Yi paused here and said, "The cook was tempted by the beauty and wanted to do something improper. Luo Han realized something was wrong and hurt someone while struggling. He owed a huge amount of money. The owner of Nanfeng Pavilion also discovered her amazing appearance, which led to the subsequent auction of the courtesan."
"Luo Han's father had jumped into the river when someone was chasing him for debts. He was dead when he was fished out. His mother and sister... had also passed away long ago."
After hearing this, the emperor was furious: "What a gamble! It has ruined so many families."
Gambling is often the source of tragedy.
Gambling is actually prohibited in Dasheng, but underground casinos are everywhere. If one is closed today, they may set up another one in some dilapidated building tomorrow.
It can be said that it is a case of shooting and then moving to another place.
Shengjing Prefecture is closed down every year, and new underground casinos pop up every year.
It is precisely because of this that they act quite recklessly. Repaying debts is a matter of course. If they have no money to pay, they will sell their houses, land, wives, children, and finally end up dying without a burial place.
The emperor said, "Send an order to the Dali Temple Minister. I don't believe that this gambling habit cannot be eradicated!"
When Jiang Qi received the imperial edict, he was preparing to go to the princess's mansion.
He was silent for a moment, sighed in his heart, and then went into the palace to meet the emperor.
He also sent someone to the princess's mansion to inform Wen Yu.
At this time, Lu Ren and Yue Lingfeng had already arrived at the princess's mansion and came to the inner courtyard with ease.
From a distance, the two heard intermittent piano sounds.
Wen Yu sat on the small couch with her legs crossed, while Luo Han sat beside her legs and played the piano, but it was not a serious playing of the piano.
The piano was placed crookedly on his knees, Luo Han's clothes were half open, with one side falling on his arm, revealing half of his chest.
His hands were shaking a little while he was playing the piano, because Wen Yu was holding a feather in her hand, gently sweeping it across his back and chest, teasing him from time to time, causing him to tremble all over.
The sound of the piano stopped for a moment, and Wen Yu said, "Play it well. This is the punishment you asked for..."
Lu Ren: ...
Yue Lingfeng: ...
Lu Ren strode in, his tone slightly deep: "Punishment? Princess, is it because I am too obedient on weekdays that you never punish me?"
