The fake daughter of a fallen ghost is reborn

Hearing this, Lan Ying was as if someone had stepped on her tail. She angrily said, "What does it have to do with you? Do you think I am you? You are either flirting with this man or having an affair with that man all day long!"

Xue Zhiyi thought about it, and suppressed the urge to laugh. She said seriously in a voice that only they could hear, "I just don't want you to take mine."

Lan Ying's eyes widened: "Really? You want both!? You are too greedy!"

But Xue Zhiyi just smiled without saying anything, turned around and left the tea room.

As soon as she went out, she saw the west wing. Outside her door, Huo Wuyou was leaning against a pillar with his arms folded.

Sure enough, Huo Wuyou left the main hall on the pretext of something and came to look for her.

After making sure Lan Ying did not follow him, Xue Zhiyi quickly walked in that direction.

Here, Huo Wuyou was leaning sideways casually, and saw Xue Zhiyi, who was holding up the hem of her skirt and running towards him at a trot.

From far to near, with ups and downs, the loose hair on his forehead and the tassels on his hair trembled, making him tilt his head involuntarily, and then he slowly stood up.

When Xue Zhiyi stopped in front of him, he breathed slightly, and his round eyes, as bright as the moon, met his gaze. For a moment, he felt as if his heart was hit hard by a snow-white rabbit.

Just as he was about to speak, Xue Zhiyi grabbed him without saying a word, dragged him into his room, closed the door, and bolted it solemnly.

Huo Wuyou laughed: "It's not good for us to do this, right?"

After bolting the door, Xue Zhiyi turned around and saw Huo Wuyou smiling at her. She was wearing a red dress with an ochre longevity purse on her waist, as if she was afraid that others would not notice it.

Xue Zhiyi hesitated to speak, but Huo Wuyou still had the nerve to ask her, "How is it? Do they look good together?"

"..."

Xue Zhiyi didn't want to respond, so he just asked him, "Marquis of Lin'an, how is Prince Gong doing?"

"You asked others right away, why didn't you ask me?"

If it weren't for his status, Xue Zhiyi would actually want to get angry at him.

Seeing Xue Zhiyi didn't say anything, Huo Wuyou was a little disappointed, and only answered her question in a sullen tone: "Although he has some doubts about Tu Yuxian, he is still unwilling to give up the opportunity to defeat Gu Shimin, and still proceeds according to the original plan. At the morning court today, many members of Prince Gong's party have already taken action."

Hearing this, Xue Zhiyi smiled and said, "In this way, everything will go smoothly."

Huo Wuyou said, "I have answered what I should answer. Now you should ask me, right?"

As he wished, Xue Zhiyi said, "Have you brought the things I asked you to prepare today?"

Huo Wuyou sighed languidly and took out two bottles from his arms: "This is the poison, and this is the antidote. There is only one poison, and one will kill you."

Xue Zhiyi was delighted and was about to take it, but Huo Wuyou suddenly took his hand away: "You have to tell me first, what exactly are you going to do?"

But Xue Zhiyi just smiled and said, "My Lord, just wait and watch the show. Don't worry, no one will die."

Hearing this, Huo Wuyou gave her a pair of porcelain bottles with some doubt.

After everything was done, Xue Zhiyi reminded him, "You have been out for so long, it is time for you to go back."

Huo Wuyou said, "It's okay, wait a little longer."

Xue Zhiyi was confused: "If someone finds out..."

"If someone finds out, I'll be out soon after I enter the room. Who knows what will be spread about me. It will be very embarrassing."

“……”Xue Zhiyi clenched his fists.

Seeing her strange expression, Huo Wuyou quickly put away his teasing attitude and said honestly: "I'm not going back to my grandmother. I told my grandmother that His Majesty summoned me to the palace today, and I have to go to see His Majesty."

After saying that, he turned around and opened the door: "I'm leaving. Is it okay for me to leave?"

……

Palace of Eternal Life.

When Huo Wuyou arrived, the emperor was looking worriedly at a table full of government affairs.

Huo Wuyou simply bowed politely: "Your Majesty, I, Huo Wuyou, pay my respects to you. May your Majesty be well and safe."

The emperor raised his eyebrows: "Coming?"

Having said that, he gave Peng Hui another look, and Peng Hui dispersed all the palace servants, leaving only a few to serve the emperor closely.

Without waiting for the emperor to ask for permission, Huo Wuyou stood up and asked, "Uncle is looking for me?"

Seeing that he was still acting so carefree, the emperor just chuckled and said, "Sit down by yourself."

Huo Wuyou took three or two steps to the imperial steps and sat down near the emperor's desk.

The emperor seemed accustomed to his unruly behavior. He just glanced at him and asked casually, "You haven't gotten into any trouble outside recently, have you?"

Huo Wuyou laughed: "How can that be possible? Uncle, you don't trust me enough, do you?"

The emperor pointed at him and said, "Don't I know you? You have been like this since you were a child. You are so smart that you don't need to use your energy for serious matters. I don't know how many complaints the Grand Tutor has made against you to me."

Huo Wuyou didn't care: "That was all when I was a kid."

The emperor, however, was dealing with the memorials while saying, "I would like to remind you that it is fine if you do not make progress in your daily life, but you are not allowed to cause trouble. Otherwise, if you commit crimes like Lu Minchun's son, I will not forgive you."

As he spoke, he sneered, "If nothing else, just think of it as being the second brother in front of Wu Hui, understand?"

Huo Wuyou smiled cheekily: "As you wish."

The emperor looked through the memorial and sighed in distress.

Huo Wuyou propped up his head and said, "Uncle, you are the emperor now. If anyone dares to write a letter to anger you, you can just deal with it. Why bother to get angry with them?"

Hearing this, the emperor sighed and said, "Listen to this nonsense. If you were my son, I would peel off your skin for this!"

Seeing the emperor was about to hit him, Huo Wuyou dodged with a playful smile: "Uncle, you called me here, didn't you just want to make fun of me? I'm not like my cousins ​​who can relieve your worries."

Speaking of this, the emperor blew his beard and glared: "Those cousins ​​of yours? Don't mention them."

The emperor threw the memorial on the table, pointed at it and said, "This memorial is from Chan Min'er."

After that, he patted another pile next to him and said, "These too."

Huo Wuyou opened his mouth in surprise: "Who is so blind? My cousin Prince Cheng has worked hard to defend Yuzhou for many years, why would you criticize him?"

Seeing that the emperor was about to speak, Huo Wuyou hurriedly said, "You cannot ask about state affairs casually. I have said too much, please forgive me, uncle."

The emperor clicked his tongue again in disdain: "Just you? It doesn't hurt to listen."

As he spoke, he sighed: "To be honest, it's not Min'er's fault. It was one of his staff members who secretly opened a brothel and ended up forcing women of good families into prostitution."

He looked at Huo Wuyou, who was sitting on the steps with his body tilted, and asked, "What do you think of this kind of thing?"

Huo Wuyou thought for a moment and said, "No matter who caused the trouble, can't we just deal with it according to the law?"

The emperor shook his head: "What do you know?"

"I understand!" Huo Wuyou said firmly.

The emperor was amused by him: "Tell me about it."

Huo Wuyou sat up straight, cleared his throat, and said, "I understand what my uncle is worried about. He is worried that this matter will arouse public resentment like what happened to Lu Yan, right?"

As he spoke, he said confidently, "Wuyou believes that the people's grievances must be appeased. This is the most important thing. If things go on for too long, other brothels will follow suit, and this will cut off the money flow of this business. As for the people wanting an explanation, why not just kill the aide and make a scene for them? The people will have an explanation and forget about it in a few days."

After hearing this, the emperor pointed a shaking finger at him and said, "Where did you learn these crooked ways? Fortunately, you are not in the court, otherwise the people would have a hard time!"

When saying this, the emperor seemed to have forgotten that he had condoned Lu Yan's behavior, and he almost regarded himself as a wise ruler who loved his people like his own sons.
