Chapter 169 Not a Single One Missing
He didn't dare move too much, for fear of waking Chu Yu next to him.
But he didn't expect that Chu Yu's sleeping posture would be so bad.
A moment later, her feet were on his legs, and her hands were on his face.
A while later, her body flipped over and mostly landed on him.
Sometimes he really wondered if she wasn't asleep, but when he poked her arm, there was no reaction at all.
He wanted to push her over with his sword, but he was afraid the sound of the chains would be too loud.
He kicked her foot away with all his might, but she didn't react.
The only thing missing was her feet, which were completely covered up. And this was a late autumn night! He was dressed so thinly.
He gently tugged at her with his hand, little by little, slowly, until finally, she loosened.
The hands and feet that had just been pushed away from him hit his chest and body, and even smacked his lips twice.
At that moment, he thought that sleeping on the mat on the ground would be quite nice.
But when he tried to slowly move his body up, it was tightly wrapped up.
He couldn't move at all, but he was stronger than when he was awake.
"You did this on purpose, didn't you!" At this point, she stopped using formal titles and began to complain.
But no one responded at all; he could only hear their breaths, cool and slightly warm, spraying onto his neck. He endured it!
the other side
When Huang Ziliang went to the Han residence, Han Yuxiu opened the door. Upon seeing each other, Han Yuxiu's surprise was more obvious.
Looking behind him, no one followed. They were acquainted, but not to that extent.
"Mr. Huang, what brings you here?"
"Go into the mansion and tell them."
Seeing his solemn expression, and knowing that he had heard about some of Huang Ziliang's deeds, he quickly invited him into the mansion and closed the door.
I won't go into too much detail about the explanation; all the previous plans are on this list.
"Of course, this has nothing to do with you. I just came to get some medicine from you so that if things come to light, you can get away with it."
As Han Yuxiu unfolded the paper and listened to his explanation, he was completely bewildered and had no idea what had happened.
He couldn't hide the shock on his face until he had read the entire note.
Even his pupils were trembling; he was involved in something this big!
He couldn't make the decision himself; he had to ask his mother.
After reading the note, Doctor Han's expression remained unchanged; instead, he laughed. What a brilliant plan to kill two birds with one stone!
Han Yuxiu has always been a bit slow on this kind of thing, which is probably for the best.
After taking the medicine, Huang Ziliang hurriedly took his leave, as he still needed to go to the Changsun residence to get a new face mask.
Even though Wu Chengye had already suspected that he was a fake, he still couldn't bear to hurt that face.
Changsun Boyu also learned about this matter. Although it was somewhat dangerous, he found it quite exciting.
While reapplying Huang Ziliang's face mask, she asked him about other things.
Finally, the topic unexpectedly turned to Wu Ziyan.
It was quite sudden.
"Mr. Huang, do you like young ladies?"
His body stiffened. This man was quite interesting; asking such a question so openly.
But he had no right to say he liked it; he wasn't from a wealthy or noble family, nor was he from a respectable background.
All I can say is that it's a decent sword in her hand; whether she likes it or not is beyond my comprehension.
"Brother Changsun, you like Miss, don't you? I can tell."
"I do like her quite a bit, but she is, after all, the Fourth Prince, and my mother is a member of the Cabinet. It would be difficult for me to marry her."
Huang Ziliang also knew that the people around Wu Ziyan were all sons of important officials in the court.
If she wins them all over, the Empress will inevitably become suspicious.
If they were to label her as someone who was trying to win over court officials and plot a rebellion, I really wouldn't dare to do it; I almost made a mistake.
But it doesn't matter, there are only two princes with prestige in the court, namely the Second Prince and the First Prince.
The Third Prince is a fence-sitter, while the First Prince sides with Wu Ziyan.
Now, if we can get the Second Prince on our side, everything might be completely reshuffled.
Seeing his deep thoughts, Changsun Boyu didn't say anything more.
He looked again at the face in the mirror that didn't belong to him.
Who would have thought that Wu Chengye might be ruined by his infatuation!
"Thank you, Boyou. This was a huge risk."
"Life is only a few short years, so do what you want to do." He smiled and patted Huang Ziliang on the shoulder.
When Huang Ziliang returned to his residence, it was Sima Lingyu who received him.
But he thought he wouldn't come back. When he saw him return, he looked anxious and asked him why he had to go back to the den of dragons and tigers.
Huang Ziliang patted his hand, and soon, these unfortunate men would be able to escape their misery.
"Didn't I tell you not to come back? If you come back, you'll probably die."
"Don't worry, I believe in you, Miss, and I believe in myself. None of us will be missing."
After fixing my hair, I went back to the room where I had been locked up.
He might not be able to leave for the next couple of days, but Mo Baiyun's spies are no pushovers either.
Putting everything else aside, ensuring his safety shouldn't be a problem.
But in case Wu Chengye gets desperate and does something rash, you still need to keep a dagger with you for self-defense.
At worst, it's a fight to the death, a lose-lose situation. Of course, that's the worst-case scenario.
He didn't want to die; he still wanted to be the knife in Wu Ziyan's hand.
Sima Linchuan did not return home after leaving, nor did he go to the Prime Minister's residence.
Instead, he went to find Fang Yuerong first, who was standing at the entrance of Yuerong Pavilion.
Although the two families have now merged into one, he still spends most of his time at Yue Rong Pavilion.
The servant knew Sima Lingchuan and his relationship with their young master, so he quickly led him inside without even announcing it.
When Yue'er came out from the side and saw Sima Lingchuan, her heart skipped a beat. The person in charge had come to their door. Did they want to accuse their young master of some crime?
However, he and the young master had met this master a few times, and he was not a vicious or mean-spirited person.
She greeted him with a smile: "Master Sima has come to see our young master."
"Yes, it's been a long time since we last met. I wanted to talk to him about something. Is he here?"
"Yes, yes, young master is upstairs. I'll take you up right away."
The first step upon entering the household is to establish a good relationship with the master of the house.
My lord, you should be grateful to have a servant like me.
Fang Yuerong was in her room at that moment, frantically sorting out the accounts.
The mess of debts that had piled up over the past few days was now on his shoulders again. He sighed as he fiddled with the abacus.
"This manager is probably no good. What kind of mess are his accounts! Yue'er, Yue'er! Go settle that Manager Li's wages and fire him!"
At this moment, Yue'er pushed open the door and saw Sima Lingchuan.
The worry on her face eased slightly: "Lingchuan, why are you here so late?"
