Chapter 444 Blood Moon
After beating Su Zhengyang, Yun Chen returned to Prime Minister Wu's residence angrily. Huo Gannian was already waiting for her in the inner courtyard.
He took off his official uniform and changed into casual clothes, a dark blue robe embroidered with silver, and sat alone at the table playing chess.
The evening light cast a warm yellow glow, making his eyebrows and eyes look soft and gentle, and his nose had a handsome and straight shadow, and he smiled at her as usual.
Now, apart from going to the palace to handle government affairs in the Regent's Palace, Huo Gannian does not return to the Regent's Mansion at other times and stays with Yun Chen.
But in fact, when I say "the rest", it is only a few times.
He handled government affairs day and night, often reading memorials all night long and sleeping directly in the Regent's Palace. His meetings with Yun Chen became less and less frequent.
Fortunately, Yun Chen also has a lot of things to do at Lingyun Martial Arts School. The two of them are working hard to achieve their own success. Even if they don’t see each other every day, the tacit understanding and love that connects their hearts will not diminish in the slightest.
As soon as Yun Chen saw Huo Gannian's calmness, he immediately felt much better, but his face still looked very bad.
She folded her arms and sat down across from his chessboard.
"Transfer Su Zhengyang to another place—to a place where I will never see him in my lifetime!"
Huo Gannian nodded: "Okay."
Yun Chen said again, "No." He thought to himself that Su Zhengyang was from Kyoto, and his entire family had lived in Kyoto for generations. They had just gotten married, so why should she transfer him away and leave Madam Su alone in the empty house?
Su Zhengyang, that bastard, had caused her to suffer so much that she clearly had done nothing wrong, yet she inexplicably felt guilty towards the bride. How could he even cause the family to suffer for him? Yun Chen said:
"Move me somewhere you can't see me!"
"Okay." Huo Gannian still agreed and chuckled: "Then I will give up my position as regent and go with you. To the end of the world or the corner of the sea? You choose."
He spoke very seriously, which made her seriously distressed and began to think about whether there was any way to completely break up with Su Zhengyang so as to have the best of both worlds.
As she was thinking, she looked up and saw Huo Gannian's eyes slightly raised, with a wicked smile hidden in his eyes. He never asked her the reason from beginning to end. She immediately reacted, angry and amused, raised her hand to hit him, but he pulled her into his arms and sat on his lap.
She pouted and said unhappily:
"You knew that Su Zhengyang had ulterior motives towards me, right? So you deliberately didn't tell me?"
"Yeah." Huo Gannian raised his eyebrows, his voice tinged with smug laughter, "You'll have to find out for yourself! I believe my Chen'er can handle it. Besides, Su Zhengyang's thoughts are just a handful of sand in his hand, which will be blown away by the wind. It's not worth mentioning. However, if he continues to pester you in the future, I guarantee that I will find ten thousand ways to make him regret it."
Yun Chen was afraid that Huo Gannian would really get into trouble with the Su family because of this matter and cause more trouble, so he hurriedly said:
"It's okay, it's okay. I've already taught Su Zhengyang a lesson. I wrapped a shoulder pole with some clothes and gave him a good beating. I guarantee the pain will keep him paralyzed for three days, but there won't be any bruises left. It won't affect his wedding today, and I've also said I'm done with him. He's just being stubborn for now, and he'll figure it out later."
"Maybe you don't just want to understand!" Huo Gannian took over the conversation, hugged Yun Chen tightly, kissed her chin, and smiled evilly:
"After a beating from you, not only will his mind be clearer, but he might even go to his wife at night and act like a spoiled brat, begging her for comfort and a hug!"
"Oh, you mean Su Zhengyang's wife, who is a little older than Su Zhengyang?" Yun Chen asked.
Huo Gannian was so amused by Yun Chen's stupidity that he burst out laughing.
Even after so many years of love, Yun Chen still always finds a hundred unexpected, dull and unintelligible new ways to torture him. It's really an endless temptation of pure desire...
The more Huo Gannian thought about it, the funnier it became. She laughed louder and louder, her shoulders shaking constantly. Finally, she leaned directly into Yun Chen's arms and laughed out loud. Her laughter made her heart buzz and numb.
She finally understood what he meant, blushed, and spat at him, "You playboy!" Then she asked curiously, "Can men act like spoiled brats, too?"
He suddenly stopped laughing, with a choked expression on his face. He thought, "Good fellow, Chen'er, all my years of hard work have been in vain because of this one sentence of yours! I acted so coquettishly, but after a long time, it was all thrown away in the wind, and you didn't receive a single one of it?"
"Oh, my life is so miserable!" He sighed pretentiously, and the hand holding her waist began to be dishonest, moving closer to kiss her cheek, "Maybe Chen'er needs a kiss and a hug to make it better."
Yun Chen's face turned even redder and he gently pushed him:
"Alright, alright, now I know how men can act like spoiled brats. No one in the mansion is asleep yet, someone will hear us! Please forgive me!"
How could he not agree? He pushed the chessboard in front of him away and was about to lay her down on the table, which scared her so much that she started to struggle.
Keren was held in his arms and could not use her fists or feet. She could only bury her head in his shoulder and bite him through his clothes.
She didn't use any force at all, but he raised his hands and clasped her lower back, hugged her tighter, and said "Aiya——" in an ambiguous and seductive tone.
The tone of wanting to refuse but also wanting to accept made her face flushed. She buried her head in his shoulder and dared not look up. She could only whisper to him:
"You bastard!"
At this time, Lan Qian happened to walk into the inner courtyard with a plate. She had heard that Yun Chen had returned home and wanted to serve him some fruit wine.
But when she heard the teasing and 18+ sound of "Ouch", Lan Qian was so scared that she turned around and ran faster than a rabbit. She couldn't believe that the sound could be made by the majestic and serious Regent who was high above her.
Lan Qian quietly left the yard and closed the gate carefully.
She sat on the steps at the entrance of the courtyard, picked up the fruit wine that she couldn't give to Yun Chen and started drinking it. She looked up at the moon and felt very happy.
She was really happy for Yun Chen and for herself.
On Yun Chen's behalf, in the words of the common people, Huo Gannian is the boss among men, and Yun Chen is the second among women. How wonderful it is to have such a life of great wealth and stability.
No matter how powerful Huo Gannian was outside, or how he was second only to the emperor and worshipped by the whole country, as long as he entered the door of Prime Minister Wu's residence and stood in front of Yun Chen, he would immediately remove all the indestructible sharp thorns on his body, and be free and comfortable to be Yun Chen's "A Nian".
In front of Yun Chen, he laughed, scolded, and showed all his emotions. This was the best evidence of his deep love for Yun Chen, and it made people feel relieved and at ease.
She was happy for herself and felt extremely honored to be with a good girl and master like Yun Chen.
When Bai was training her and wanted to send her to Youzhou to serve Yun Chen, she was very nervous. She thought that the eldest daughter of the Yun family, whom she had never met, had stolen her mother's spirit at such a young age, made a scene in the mourning hall and ran away from home. She must be a fiery person who was difficult to get along with.
Who would have thought that when I met him in Kyoto, he would be such a straightforward, sincere, pure and wonderful person!
The maids, servants and guards in the mansion were given generous rewards, made new clothes for them, and pampered like their own children.
Just like the incident of beating up Prince Xiyan, according to the temperament of an ordinary master, he would probably go with the flow and send Lan Qian to Prince Xiyan as a favor.
Anyway, she is not an important maid who has accompanied me since childhood, so the relationship with her is not that shallow.
But Yunchen directly proved his care and attention to Lan Qian with practical actions.
Thinking of this, Lan Qian couldn't help but sigh. While she felt satisfied and happy, she also felt regretful.
It would be great if I could grow up with Yun Chen and develop a deep friendship with him.
It must be very happy to be with someone like Yun Chen.
But it doesn’t matter, there is still a long way to go, and there are still decades of good days waiting for us.
Thinking about this, Lan Qian raised her head and finished drinking the fruit wine in the cup. She naturally raised her eyes, but was stunned immediately -
How could the moon, which was bright white just now, suddenly become covered with a layer of copper red in just a moment?
Lan Qian suddenly remembered a nursery rhyme in the folk. How did it go?
She couldn't remember it for a moment, and heard that in the yard, after Huo Gannian and Yun Chen lingered for a while, they seemed to start talking about "King Xiyan is coming to Nanguo for an alliance."
She couldn't understand the boring and unpredictable government affairs, and suddenly remembered the nursery rhyme:
"The blood moon hangs in the sky, thousands of ghosts laugh, and the world is dead."
Lan Qian sang it twice in a low voice, and then for no reason she felt a chill all over her body. She shuddered and dared not sing again.
