After the divorce, the four big guys became my servants

The next day, Zhaoge asked for leave, claiming that he was not feeling well.

Yuwen Lian specially asked the imperial physician to see her.

The doctor who came was a young man in his twenties. He felt her pulse and was surprised. He said hurriedly: "This girl has been infected with the plague! She needs to be isolated as soon as possible."

"What! Epidemic!?"

The young eunuch who came with him was so frightened that he hurried back to report to Yuwen Lian.

Everyone panicked when they learned that a patient with plague suddenly appeared in Qiankun Palace.

Yuwen Lian calmly gave the order to isolate Zhaoge's room and not let anyone else approach.

There was a tinkling sound coming from outside; it was the sound of the palace maids who lived next to her moving out.

Zhao Ge was lying in the room bored.

In the afternoon, the doctor came again with his face covered and whispered to her, "Miss, Princess Huimin asked me to come. I'll go back to His Majesty and tell him that your condition is serious and that you should try to stay out of the palace. Then you can leave."

Zhao Ge said gratefully, "Thank you for your help."

Then, the imperial physician left the room.

Zhao Ge felt vaguely worried in her heart, but she thought that nothing would happen. Could Yuwen Lian come to see her in person?

After mid-afternoon, footsteps were heard outside.

The voice stopped at the door, and then there was a creaking sound from the door, and a voice walked in.

"Imperial physician..." Zhao Ge naturally thought that it was the imperial physician who came.

She stood up and propped her elbows on the bed, only to see a bright yellow figure.

It turned out to be Yuwen Lian.

"Why is your majesty here? I have been infected with the plague and I may infect you." Zhao Ge reacted very quickly and covered her mouth and nose in a proper manner.

But Yuwen Lian stared at her and said meaningfully: "Thank you for thinking so much about me."

Zhao Ge always felt that his tone was strange, and she didn't know whether he was guilty or not. She lowered her eyelashes, "...You are the king of a country. If you are infected by me, then I will be guilty of a great sin."

"is it?"

As soon as the words came out, the bright yellow figure suddenly approached.

Yu Wenlian's hand tightly grasped her wrist.

"Your Majesty!" Zhao Ge exclaimed.

Is Yu Wenlian crazy? Isn't he afraid of contracting the epidemic?

But the next moment, Yuwen Lian curled his lips mockingly: "Do you really think you can hide it from me? If you really have the plague, you were in Qiankun Palace all day yesterday, why didn't anyone else move?"

"Do you really think that I would know nothing about your private meeting with Yuan Jinglie?"

"Don't forget, this palace belongs to Yuwen."

Zhao Ge was no longer able to utter a word. She met his eyes, which were filled with rage.

"I……"

"How else do you want to explain? You dare to lie to me. Do you know that this is a crime of deceiving the emperor?"

Yu Wenlian's veins were exposed, and it was obvious that he didn't want to listen to her.

Zhao Ge pursed her lips and remained silent for a long time, but a sense of grievance emerged in her heart.

"Your Majesty, have you not deceived me?"

She looked at him with a stubborn look, and said all the dissatisfaction in her heart, "Your Majesty, these days, you have been watching me serving tea and water in Qiankun Palace. Isn't it very interesting?"

"Say it again." Yu Wenlian squeezed her wrist.

Zhao Ge was not afraid at all, sniffed, "Did I say something wrong? Didn't His Majesty ask Wei Tingfeng to arrest Ruyuan? You are the emperor, but you can do such a thing behind his back. So what if I am just pretending to be sick?"

It's just a small witch compared to a big witch.

Being exposed so bluntly, Yuwen Lian's eyes flashed with an unnatural look. Then, he sneered, "Are you planning to break up with me? Am I talking about you pretending to be sick? You met with Yuan Jinglie in private."

"He just told me about my family's recent situation." Zhao Ge could only pretend to be righteous and lied: "I have been in the palace for more than half a month. Is it okay to worry about my family?"

"You're just worried about your family? Didn't you plan to leave the palace with him?"

"Your Majesty, you are overthinking it."

"Hmph, I'd better think I'm overthinking it." Yuwen Lian let go of her wrist and looked down at her depressed expression.

"Since you want to pretend to be sick, then you can continue to be sick here. From today on, you don't have to go out anymore."

Having said that, Yu Wenlian turned around and strode away.

Zhao Ge stared in amazement at the bright yellow figure leaving.

This is nothing!

I didn't leave, and he grounded me...

--

After failing to escape, Liu Luoshu reluctantly told Yuan Jinglie about it.

She sighed, "I have tried my best, but His Majesty is too suspicious. It is too difficult to do anything under his nose."

Yuan Jinglie knew how difficult this matter was.

But after sending Liu Luoshu away, he still couldn't help it and went to see Yuwen Lian himself.

It had been seventeen days and he couldn't wait any longer.

As soon as he arrived at the Qiankun Hall, Wang Yun stopped him and said, "It turns out to be the Marquis of Wu'an. My Lord, the Censor Zhou is talking to His Majesty inside. Please wait a moment."

Yuan Jinglie was waiting outside anxiously.

Not long after, the censor Zhou Zishan came out. When he saw Yuan Jinglie, he paused, and left without saying a word to him.

Yuan Jinglie didn't remember any interactions between him and Zhou Zishan, nor did he understand why Zhou Zishan had such an attitude.

But at this time he was anxious to see the emperor, so he ignored everything else and entered the Qiankun Hall.

"You're here at the right time." Yu Wen Lian pinched his eyebrows and threw the memorial to him without waiting for him to speak.

"See for yourself."

The memorial was thrown in front of Yuan Jinglie. He didn't have the heart to look at anything else and wanted to just glance at it perfunctorily, but when his eyes came into contact with those lines of words, his expression changed.

After Zhou Zishan and Hou Xuan impeached him as a criminal!

The memorial clearly stated that he was a descendant of a branch of the Jing family and should not continue to stay in the court.

"Your Majesty, I am innocent. This is a slander." Without having time to think about why these two people knew his background, Yuan Jinglie's first reaction was to clear himself.

Yuwen Lian looked at him seriously, unable to tell how much he believed what was written in the memorial.

After a moment, he spoke in a low voice: "Recently, rumors about this matter have been rampant in the court. I don't know how many memorials are sent every day asking me to investigate you strictly. The current public opinion has already been suppressed by me."

Yuan Jinglie was shocked. These days, he had been focusing entirely on Zhao Ge and had no time to care about anything else.

No wonder Zhou Zishan looked at him like that when he left just now.

"I swear to heaven that I am definitely not a descendant of the Jing family's side branch." He lowered his eyes and could only say this.

Yes, not a side branch, but a direct line.

The person who exposed him probably didn't know that he was indeed a descendant of the Jing family. He just made up a life story for him based on the story of a criminal.

Then they should have little evidence.

Yuwen Lian sighed and said, "I believe in you, but others must believe in you as well. Now they have put a lot of pressure on me, so I will give them an explanation. I have to put you in trouble during this period of time."

"Just stay in the Marquis' Mansion for a while."

To put it bluntly, it means house arrest.

Yuan Jinglie knew what his Majesty meant. He knew that his Majesty was taking advantage of the situation.
