Shen Lie sat outside to sober up from the alcohol. The cool night breeze made him feel quite comfortable, and the drunkenness faded a lot.
He slowly opened his eyes, and his dark eyes fell on the girl's beautiful face. For a moment, he seemed to be drunk again, and his eyes became deep and soft.
"Cough..." Xia Zhaoyi coughed again.
An elegant smile appeared on Shen Lie's lips: "Ali."
He lifted up his long legs that were stacked on top of each other and extended to the horse's buttocks outside the car. He was about to get down. Xia Zhaoyi gently held his arms and said, "Get in the car."
Shen Lie subconsciously said: "What about you?"
"Of course I'll go in. Do you want me to walk back? My waist isn't healed yet."
Shen Lie smiled lightly: "I didn't."
The carriage is not small. After all, Yang Guanxian could sleep in it before, spread out like a large cake.
Now that Shen Lie and Xia Zhaoyi are sitting in, there is still a lot of room. Xia Zhaoyi wants Ye Zheng and Zhan Ning to come up as well.
Quan Jiuwei is still locked down below, but looking around, it seems that someone has cleaned it, and there is still a faint scent of soap floating in the air.
"I ordered people to call, they should have rushed over."
"I heard that there are many carriages at the gate of Shuangyan Palace."
Shen Lie, who was still asleep, almost collapsed her shoulders. Xia Zhaoyi hugged him as firmly as possible, held his head steady, and leaned gently on her shoulders.
However, Xia Zhaoyi's shoulders soon became too much for him to lean on.
Gao Zhou nodded: "Yes, yes."
Each of them will "employ people" according to the situation. For example, Gao Zhou has developed dozens of offline people, and these old subordinates of Li Qian are all working hard to express themselves.
The girl's bright eyes were clear, she smiled at him and looked at Gao Zhou: "Help General Shen go back."
What she originally thought was that like those women who escaped from Zhaoyun Mountain, they would not be scattered around the world, but would gather together to make a living and coexist.
It would take a lot of walking, but Shuangyan Palace was right on the street, so there was a way, so Xia Zhaoyi didn't care too much.
"It's five taels of silver. I'll treat it as the cost of doing business. I'll buy some needlework and embroider first. I don't care whether I can make money. But..."
"Bliss on the eyes."
Xia Zhaoyi stopped in front of the cellar and looked at the open door of the cellar.
Xia Zhaoyi got out of the car first. Although her thighs were numb, she felt really light the moment she got off the car and stepped on the ground.
Xia Zhaoyi nodded: "That's good."
"Okay," Shen Lie said solemnly, "You should also sleep more."
The carriage moved forward slowly. When the carriage reached the intersection, Xia Zhaoyi suddenly remembered that Shen Lie's mount was Dragon Eagle: "Shen Lie, Dragon Eagle is so smart. Should he recognize his master? Will he let Ye Zheng and Zhan Ning ride it?" ?”
"But what?"
"Ye Zheng will take him back." Shen Lie said.
She raised her hand to open the curtain and let the night wind blow in. As the carriage moved forward, the street lights dimmed. The farther away from the Royal Street, the busier the street became. There were repair workers everywhere, like mending and weaving workers. The cracks in this ancient city are newly embroidered with exquisite patterns.
Xia Zhaoyi thought about it and didn't force it.
Xia Zhaoyi curved her lips and smiled lightly: "No, she wanted to hang herself. She will bear any consequences herself."
"Okay." Shen Lie nodded.
However, when Gao Zhou came this time, he was talking about the affairs of the palace concubines. They refused to leave and even after many days of coaxing, they still refused to leave.
When Shen Lie mentioned this, Xia Zhaoyi laughed and said, "It's a good friend of Zhili's. She gave me a generous gift. When the time comes, everyone in Hejing will be blessed to share it."
Shen Lie opened his eyes again because the quiet environment changed and there were more people around him.
His eyes were lightly closed, and his eyelashes were long and curled. Xia Zhaoyi couldn't help but want to reach out and fiddle with them, and also wanted to trace them carefully along the bridge of his straight and straight nose.
Xia Zhaoyi said: "Have the imperial doctors gone to see you?"
As she talked and walked, she was thinking about the placement of these women in the palace.
Xia Zhaoyi thought for a while and suddenly said: "Are Li Hao's and Li Ze's mansions adjacent to each other?"
The carriage stopped in the backyard of Jinxing Restaurant and Dengqian Teahouse.
"Shen Lie, see you tomorrow." Xia Zhaoyi said.
Xia Zhaoyi helped Shen Lie up before the car curtain was lifted.
"No need," Shen Lie said in a hoarse voice as he stood up and said, "I can walk by myself. You can go and rest."
Shen Lie smiled slightly, his handsome face flushed: "Did you happen to pass by, or did you come here on purpose?"
After realizing it, Shen Lie slowly said "hmm": "Probably... no."
"Yes," Xia Zhaoyi responded, "but I may not be optimistic about it."
However, who will take care of him if he is still in the palace?
Xia Zhaoyi didn't know how much he drank, and was a little worried that the bumpy carriage would make him want to vomit, so she tried not to talk to him as much.
Jinping Palace has been controlled by Gao Zhou, Shi Guoxin, Yang Guanxian, Mu Tingyu and Guanjia Zeng these days.
He got off the carriage, raised his hand and gently rubbed his temples, feeling a sudden pain on his right side.
After searching around, Shen Lie's eyes fixed on Xia Zhaoyi.
She gently held up Shen Lie's head and moved a few steps out, letting his head rest on her thigh. During this process, her wrists tried to keep steady to prevent him from being shocked.
But according to Gao Zhou's description, they were unwilling to accept it.
Now, the placement of the concubines and maids in the palace has become difficult.
Watching Shen Lie go in, Xia Zhaoyi turned around and found Gao Zhou and the others waiting there. Xia Zhaoyi smiled helplessly, knowing that they were going to tell her about the things in the palace these days, she now wanted to It's really hard to be lazy.
Gao Zhou said as he walked: "By the way, before I was about to leave the palace, a chamberlain came over in a hurry and said that Concubine Mu kicked off her stool and hanged herself yesterday. Fortunately, she was found in time, but she was paralyzed and lay in bed incontinent for a day and a night. The people around her wanted to hide it, but they couldn't."
The few chamberlains who helped her take Li Ju out of Yanguang Palace before, she said she would not treat them badly. During these days, Butler Zeng has arranged the whereabouts of all the chamberlains to ensure that they are safe for the rest of their lives.
"It doesn't matter."
"That……"
Moreover, why should others raise it?
Shen Lie's breathing was very shallow, and there was still a faint smell of alcohol on his body. It was not an unpleasant strong smell of alcohol, but a very light fragrance of pear blossoms.
It happened that Gao Zhou came back from the palace. Hearing the commotion, he came out to take a look and immediately called for help.
Seeing that Shen Lie was drunk, Xia Zhaoyi sighed softly: "You and I are both too drunk. From now on, neither of us should touch wine again."
"But I feel a bit suspicious. Second Miss, do you want to go and take a look?"
"Tomorrow you will take people to search and open up the two palaces. Let the women in the palace go over and let them clean up and distribute their accommodation. Give them some rice and meat, and give them five taels of silver. How they live their lives from now on is up to them."
Looking at the handsome profile of the sleeping figure, Xia Zhaoyi sighed softly. To avoid random thoughts, she raised her eyes and looked out the window, continuing to look at the street scene passing by.
Shen Lie smiled and nodded.
"What if she begs you to go? Will you go?"
Xia Zhaoyi whispered beside him: "Take a hot bath before going to bed. It will make you feel better. Sleep as much as possible tomorrow and don't get up early."
Suddenly, from the corner of her eye, she saw Shen Lie's tall figure swaying, and she quickly turned around.
Gao Zhou frowned: "Second Miss, is it five taels of silver? I heard you right."
Xia Zhaoyi had a lot of things to do tomorrow morning, so she didn't respond. She smiled lightly and accompanied Shen Lie to the back door of the Dengqian teahouse. The teahouse waiter who came after hearing the news had already opened the door and was waiting there.
"blessing?"
She looked around and saw that when shopkeeper Hu put the sleeping Yang Guanxian on the door panel and carried him away, all the soft pillows and blankets in the car were also taken away.
Ye Zheng held Zhan Ning back and said, "Miss Ali, there are horses in the backyard. The young master and I both came here on horseback. Now there is one empty. Let's ride back!"
Xia Zhaoyi was quiet for a while and then said: "Their feelings of inferiority have been deeply rooted in their bones. They are afraid that the palace ladies will still have to serve the concubines, and they are also afraid that these palace ladies will suddenly become violent after being bullied for a long time and bully their so-called masters. Therefore, rules must be established.”
"Okay, Miss Second, I want to go and get married!"
Xia Zhaoyi shook his head, raised his eyes to look upstairs, and suddenly smiled: "Yes, let my master stand."
Thank you, Patriarch Bodhidharma, the Splitting Muscle and Bone Hand, for the reward~~!
