Back at the palace, Mrs. Zhao was anxiously waiting at the door.

As soon as Xue Bai came out of the government, he sent someone to inform her of the accident that happened in the courtroom. Mrs. Zhao was already worried about it, but when she saw that Xue Bai came back with Youqing in her arms, she thought that there was something wrong with Youqing, so she nestled in her In Xue Bai's arms, he hurriedly came up to him and asked, "What's wrong with Qingqing? Could it be that she vomited again?"

Youqing leaned on Xue Bai's shoulder and laughed, "I'm too full!"

"You."

Looking at the innocent young man, Mrs. Zhao shook her head, and when she thought about the matter of the young master, she sighed again, "It's nothing if your father will be imprisoned for a few more days. What should I do? You haven't suffered a little bit, how can you bear it."

Youqing pushed Xue Bai, asking him to let go of himself, and asked suspiciously: "What does it have to do with me?"

Mrs. Zhao twisted his face, "Who wants you to..."

"mother in law."

Xue Bai stopped lightly and said, "Qingqing will not be involved."

No matter what he did in the past, Mrs. Zhao couldn't help thinking about it a few times, but now she knew that Xue Bai stopped her just because she was afraid of scaring You Qing, so she smiled, pointed at You Qing's forehead and said: "Our family is Qingqing. , except that I didn’t fill my stomach, and I can talk to you all night, the rest of the things are forgotten when I get into bed, and I never take it to heart.”

Youqing covered her forehead and refused to admit it, "I didn't!"

Whether it was there or not, he said it didn't matter, Zhao didn't bother to reveal it, besides, Xiaoqing just wanted to sleep after eating and drinking enough, he listened to the two talking for a while, then slipped back to the room for a nap in boredom.

After an unknown amount of time, Xiao Qing was pulled into his arms.

He was already familiar with Xue Bai's breath, and he could recognize it without opening his eyes. Youqing buried her face in Xue Bai's chest, rubbing herself in his arms, finally found a comfortable position, and wanted to Then I fell asleep.

Xue Bai's hand on Youqing's waist lightly rubbed a few times, Youqing thought he was annoying, turned over, Xue Bai's hand was stroking the boy's belly again, Youqing pushed his hand away, thought for a while, couldn't help it Kick him again.

The white and slender hand paused, and then Xue Bai propped himself up, looking at the boy who was pretending to be asleep from top to bottom.

You Qing's long eyelashes moved a few times, and he secretly opened one eye. Before he could see anything clearly, Xue Bai suddenly pinched his chin, leaned over and kissed him.

"You... woo."

You Qing blushed from being kissed, and complained tearfully: "You made me fall asleep because of your noise!"

Xue Bai said in a deep voice: "It's strange that Qingqing is too cute, this king is holding you... I can't help it for a while."

You Qing slowly opened his round eyes, his face was still red, but Xue Bai couldn't get out of bed, and he asked indiscriminately, "Did you steal candied haws behind my back?"

Xue Bai raised his eyebrows lightly, "Huh?"

Youqing covered her face and whispered, "Otherwise, why would her mouth be so sweet!"

Xue Bai lay down next to Youqing again, hugged him into his arms, and said with a low smile, "This king didn't eat candied haws without telling you, but Qingqing, I just tasted it."

"It's sweet."

"Don't talk nonsense." You Qing hurriedly covered his thin lips, "I can't eat it."

Xue Bai held his wrist lightly, bit the young pink fingertip lightly, and said in a hoarse voice, "You can eat it."

"Do not……"

As soon as Youqing raised her eyes, she looked into Xue Bai's dark pupils, which were bottomless.He blinked, only to feel that Xue Bai's eyes were serious and focused, with a rare gentleness. Looking at him like this, You Qing suddenly buried his face in Xue Bai's arms. He said slowly: "You are playing a hooligan."

Xue Bai chuckled, "I can't be Liu Xiahui, I just want to be a clean husband."

Youqing didn't want to talk to him anymore, Bai Shengsheng touched his hot face with his hands, turned his head and took a nap.

On this day, from Prince Jia's mansion, the weather was calm, and the palace seemed to be peaceful.

"Prime Minister Zhuang, please hurry up, Your Majesty just remembered you in the imperial study."

When Prime Minister Zhuang entered the palace to beg to see Xue Wei, it rained two or three o'clock, and the autumn colors were evenly divided with the chill.

"This day, if you say it's cold, it's going to be cold."

Eunuch Chang next to Xue Wei sighed, and then graciously led Prime Minister Zhuang into the imperial study, while he wisely stayed outside and closed the door for them.

Prime Minister Zhuang wanted to kneel, but Xue Wei hurriedly stopped him, saying, "Prime Minister Zhuang is exempt."

"The old minister is grateful for His Majesty's love."

"Prime Minister Zhuang and I, you don't need to be so polite." Xue Wei waved his hands, and then said a few words of courtesy to Prime Minister Zhuang, and then slowly asked: "The case of Youyouwei, what progress has been made?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the prince personally confirmed that the fifteen pieces of cloth did not come from Jiangnan cloth village, but another dead body was found in the moat, which made the case even more confusing." Even though he knew that Xue Wei would definitely send someone to watch the case, Prime Minister Zhuang still described it concisely, and then said bitterly: "Your Majesty is magnanimous, but the prince has become more and more reckless in recent years, and he doesn't take His Majesty seriously."

Xue Wei has been afraid of Xue Bai for a long time. In the past, most of the ministers in the court turned to Xue Bai. Only his mother clan was slightly better than him, and finally ascended the throne as emperor. Now his own ministers hate Xue Bai very much, Xue Wei is naturally very satisfied.

He looked at Prime Minister Zhuang and said meaningfully: "My younger brother has no mother's family and no official position, but he married a good concubine. After a hundred years, he may get that tens of thousands of family wealth, but it's a pity..."

Prime Minister Zhuang understood the unfinished words, "Even if you were young and did not sell private salt, you also took a life on your back, and the tens of thousands of family wealth had to be filled into the national treasury."

Xue Wei sighed: "Master Zhuang is my Prime Minister Zhuang after all, and he solves my worries and problems every day."

"But speaking of—"

Xue Wei paused, pretending to reprimand: "Why is Prime Minister Zhuang so confused? One day I heard that Lu Jianxian had no intention of provoking Concubine Congjia, and the imperial brother cut off his fingers in a fit of anger. Zhuang Lian could endure this. How did it happen?" Miss Zhuang, did you have such an unpleasant quarrel with him?"

Prime Minister Zhuang couldn't help crying when he heard the words, "Your Majesty doesn't know something. Seeing that a sage still has an official position, and even got engaged to Princess Mingshan, the old minister is heartbroken but not worried, but Qiutong..."

"My Zhuang family only has two sons and one daughter, and Qiutong is similar to his wife. Naturally, the old minister cherishes her very much. Therefore, Qiutong is pleasing to the prince. The old minister only hopes that she will be happy, but he doesn't want Qiutong to be obsessed with ghosts. Such an embarrassment at the banquet ruined my innocence, and I will be pointed out in my life."

"Old minister—I will never die with peace in my life!"

In the past, Zhuang Cheng's attitude towards Xue Bai was quite ambiguous, but since Zhuang Qiutong failed to design Xue Bai and made himself lose his innocence, Zhuang Cheng's attitude towards Xue Bai has changed from before. Xue Wei is happy to see it succeed. The old man sold private salt, which was originally used by Prime Minister Zhuang to test Xue Wei's attitude. Xue Wei had the intention to suppress the young old man early in the morning, so he naturally ordered severe punishment, and the two coincided with each other.

Even though Xue Wei knew that Young Master was framed by others, he turned a blind eye to it and made up his mind to make an example of others.

He wants Xue Bai to know that the master of the country can only be himself.

Thinking of this, Xue Wei's expression became fierce, and what Prime Minister Zhuang said reassured him a lot, but he was worried about the young branches, so Xue Wei could only stay out of the matter, and he said to Prime Minister Zhuang : "...Zhuang Xiang, the only one I can trust and rely on is you."

Prime Minister Zhuang nodded, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, old minister..."

"Your Majesty will surely get his wish."

With a "click", the sparse autumn rain outside the window stopped, and Prime Minister Zhuang bid farewell to Xue Wei.

Half a month later, the young master's case is about to rise again.

This morning, when the sky was just dawning, someone dressed as a scholar and rang the grievance drum outside the official mansion, "Boom, boom, boom—"

"My lord, Ji Qiu Falcon, a grass-roots citizen, has a grievance against me."

"Prime Minister Zhuang and Master Lu, the two of them worked hand in hand. First they forced the grassroots to marry Miss Zhuang, but then they held a grudge. In order to prevent the grassroots from participating in the autumn exam, they took the grassroots into the dungeon for no reason."

"The two of them ate the dead body as a vegetarian, and they will never give up their evil!"

The author has something to say: You Qingqing: Did you eat candied haws behind my back?

Xue Bai: I can't move my back.
