Chapter 404: Survival and Dangerous Moves

February Red is still the same as before, and guests are overwhelming, but not very lively.
The first floor is still hosted by the richest businessmen in Yangzhou City. During the dinner, you come and go. The atmosphere is filled with the fragrance of wine and vegetables, as well as the scent of women's laughter and butter powder.
The second floor is much cleaner.
Originally, only high-ranking officials were able to come up here. Perhaps it is because there have been too many things in the state capital recently, and high-ranking officials have come even less. There is only one guest in the cabin. I walked over holding the jug, and through the bead curtain, I saw a man in a Jinyihuafu drinking.
This person is Yang Ji.
Wei Ningyuan told me that Yang Ji often came to drink in February Red, and only at this time, I had the opportunity to meet him alone.
He was about thirty years old, and he was very lean. He had sly light in his triangular eyes, and his cheekbones were very high. He looked a bit mean, which made people uncomfortable at first glance.
I slowly opened the curtain. He raised his head to look at me, his eyes lighted up, and immediately saw my raised stomach, and frowned suddenly: "Your boss is getting more and more unruly, even pregnant women dare Come and serve me! Don't you want to open this restaurant? "
I walked over with a smile and poured a glass of wine for him: "Master Yang misunderstood, I am not here."
He frowned, reached out to take over the wine glass I offered, looked down cautiously, looked at me again, and said, "Who are you?"
I looked at him with a smile and didn't speak.
He felt more and more wrong. Those little eyes stared at me suddenly, suddenly thinking of something, suddenly stood up and pointed at me loudly: "You-you are Yue-!"
Then he swallowed stiffly.
He and I have only seen one far away at a state banquet, but the people in the officialdom have never forgotten, not to mention the fact that I was so indifferent in the harem and Shen Rou, the people in his family will naturally be impressed by me, he can recognize Out of my mind is also my expectation.
I smiled at him and said, "Master Yang has good eyesight."
"You-aren't you dead?"
"Of course I'm 'dead.'" I smiled and said, "As long as Lord Yang doesn't tell others about what I saw today, I'm still 'dead'."
Yang Ji was not a confused person, and immediately understood.
He calmed down, looked at me for a while, and then said, "What are you doing?"
"I want to ask Lord Yang for something."
"Beg me?" He laughed, and immediately laughed: "Come and ask me? Hahaha."
It was natural for him to laugh. Shen Rou was his cousin. At the beginning, I was in a palace with her because of Xu Youling. The people in the Shen family were afraid of poisoning me. Now I actually asked for help from him. funny.
His laughter stopped, staring at me fiercely, "You know, I can chop you into meat sauce with just one word now!"
I still said, "I know. But adults should also know, how can I let people chop themselves into meat sauce at this time?"
He frowned and looked at me with a frown, and I laughed: "Isn't anyone telling you that when adults go south, when Yue Qingying went to jail, in addition to bullying the emperor, did he still have a count of being a gangster? "
His face suddenly changed, and he looked around in horror.
Although Yangzhou is much more stable now than before, otherwise he would not dare to follow the footsteps of Liu Yi ’s father and son as a thorny history, but Yangzhou ’s thugs have a long-standing reputation, and he certainly knows what he does.
I smiled and said, "Master, rest assured, today I just come to ask for the master, and do not want to do anything else."
His face changed a little, and he looked around again. Then he sat down with some fear, and I slowly sat across from him.
Yang Ji was also an official for many years, and soon calmed down, and looked at my tall and swollen belly, and said, "You are this-who is this child?"
He has a strong voice, and I also guess that he is worried that this child is an emperor, which will affect Shen Rou.
I smiled slightly and didn't answer, but just said, "I'm asking for an adult today, I hope everyone can let go of the woman's husband."
"Husband? You—" He opened his eyes narrowly.
"I'm married."
Looking at me calmly, Yang Ji also seemed a little unbelievable, and half a while ago said with a smile: "You, so brave, Yue Qingying!"
"Is the adult forgotten? Yue Qingying is dead."
"..."
"I'm just asking for an adult now, and let go of the woman's husband."
"Your husband? Who is it?"
"Mr. Yang arrested the insurgents in Yangzhou City a while ago, and my husband was also arrested by mistake. But he is not an insurgent and is not a student who came to participate in the imperial examinations. He is just a mess in a restaurant. It is all about these things. It's okay, I hope that Lord Yang can detect Qiuhao and let him go. "
Yang Ji-Leng snorted and said, "Why do you want me to let him go? What do you think you are?"
I laughed: "I am just a citizen now, naturally I have no qualifications to do something for Master Yang. However, this is a misunderstanding and an injustice. I hope Master Yang will raise his hand.
He raised an eyebrow and looked at me: "What if my lord not?"
I looked up at him and said, word by word: "Then the mistress can only appear as an emperor and sue."
He was startled and stared at me.
I slowly said: "Just as the folk woman said, Yue Qingying is dead. Naturally, she should not return to the emperor, but she does not want her to go back. It should be Shen Guifei."
"..."
"It's hard. Without this person in the harem, why bother to trouble?"
"..."
After Yang Ji's face sank, after thinking for a while, he suddenly sneered: "Yue Qingying? Do you think you can return to the emperor? Even if you go back, you think you can still do well? You dare to memorize As the emperor marries, do you think the emperor can spare you? "
My heart shuddered.
Indeed, this was what I was worried about before marrying Liu San'er. Until I got the news that he had returned to Beijing, I didn't believe he had accepted the fact that I was dead. After all, it was between me and him.
I thought that in this life, I would never have anything to do with the previous people, but I didn't expect--
But now, I must not flinch!
So, I still do n’t change my face, and the smile on my face is deeper. I said,
Master Yang is worried that the emperor really ca n’t forgive me, but according to the character of the emperor, he will punish the violent conquest in the south first Set aside people and disregarded officials! "
His face changed, and he said, "What do you mean ?!"
I laughed: "It's not interesting. I just want to remind Master Yang that when the emperor was the prince, he went south to Yangzhou. At that time, Master Hong Wenquan and the grain merchants colluded to earn the unscrupulous money of the victims. If you kill it directly, you can see how much he hates corrupt people. What you did at Enco this time was a taboo against the emperor. "
"..."
"Yangzhou, the emperor has taken great care. If you know Enke this time, the adult will take advantage of this opportunity to collect money, and the emperor Longyan will be angry. I wonder what will happen?"
"..."
"In fact, adults are also very powerful. So many messages to the capital can be intercepted one by one by the adults. Until now the emperor does not know what happened in Yangzhou. But if there is any news that the adults cannot intercept, then "
"..."
"Mr. Shen and the concubine also spent a lot of effort for the reuse of adults, but don't fall short."
"..." Yang Ji's face paled slightly, watching my eyes flash with anxiety, but he still wanted to hide something, so he picked up the wine glass on the table, but suddenly put it down-presumably afraid of the reception What ’s the problem, just that the wine in the glass is shaking so badly, I looked at the light inside and slowly settled in my heart.
After being silent for a long time, he slowly raised his head and looked at me, and those tiny eyes flashed with a pinpoint light: "Can you really be an emperor?"
"I just don't want to do that."
"You really, just want to save your husband?"
"If an adult raises his expensive hand, there will be no more trouble in two strokes."
He stared at me silently, his eyes were needle-like, I just sat opposite him calmly, and his face always had the same calm smile, although I only knew that the hand on the table, the palm of my hand was already It's all cold sweat.
After some time, he finally said, "Okay."
My heart jumped fiercely, almost jumping out of my chest, and I felt a pain all over my body, but also because of this jump, the blood on my body started to flow again. I made a little smile: "Thank you Yang grown ups."
"My official will write a document soon, and you will wait to pick up your husband."
"Thank you."
After he had spoken, he looked at me again, and there was a hint of wickedness in his eyes. I only did not see it, and watched him get up and walk out. I also stood up and slightly blessed him.
.
Two days later, I stood at the door of the prison, watching the iron gate slowly open, and a cold wind blew out of it.
Under the dim light, a familiar figure came out slowly.
His uncle's shirt couldn't hide the bruises on his body, and there was a trace of blankness on his blood-stained face. The whole person seemed to have walked from hell, and then appeared in the sun, just like another life.
He looked up and looked into the sky. The eyes that had not seen the light for a long time seemed to be unable to bear the stimulation of the light, so he immediately reached out and blocked his eyes.
Then he looked at me.
Those eyes were the same as in the past, although his eyes were slightly red because of drowsiness and pain, but his eyes were bright, but in this light, there was a hint of clarity that had never been seen before.
"Lightness!"
As soon as he saw me, a smile appeared on his face, and I walked over and hugged him strongly.
Maybe I encountered an injury on him. When I hugged him, I could feel a slight trembling, but at this time I didn't want to let go at all, rather he hurt, and I also wanted to know all this. It's all true.
He really came out!
He also seemed to understand what I was thinking. Just let me hold it. After a long time, the weak hands were gently raised and stroked my hair: "Don't worry, I'm real."
"..."
"It makes you suffer."
"..."
I bit my lower lip and didn't say anything. I was afraid that tears would come out faster than my voice when I opened my mouth. After a while, I slowly raised my head from his arms and looked at him: "Are you still in pain?"
"No, it doesn't hurt anymore." He smiled, though there was a little pain in the smile: "I see you, everything is fine."
"That's good."
I nodded, looking over his shoulder, and looked at Wei Ningyuan, who was standing in the gatehouse not far behind. He only nodded, and I nodded, and then held Liu San's arm out. He said, "Let's go now."
"Oh."
He didn't even think about it, just thinking that I wished to leave here with him a little faster, but as soon as he walked outside, he saw a carriage parked there, waiting for us, he hesitated slightly and said, "This Yes--"
"Saner, let's go home first." I looked at him and said, "What's the matter, wait until I go back."
