Mo Hen was called to the study by Ye Chen. After that, Mo Hen did not appear for a long time. However, there was a person called Ye Qi in a small courtyard in the northwest corner of the General's Estate. General Ye had ordered that no one was to disturb him unless something was wrong, or else he would be punished by military law.
This military order made everyone in General Manor curious about him. There were rumors that Ye Qi was ugly and couldn't be seen in public. He always wore a mask. There were also people who said that Ye Qi was a highly skilled doctor. He planted all kinds of herbs in that small courtyard and the sound of medicine being pounded could often be heard. Some people even said that General Ye was afraid that his daughter's reputation would be tarnished, so Ye Qi was captured to be the live-in son-in-law of the Ye family's daughter.
All in all, the rumors were increasing, but no one knew the exact situation.
Just like that, three days passed quietly.
In the Prime Minister's residence, Xiao Chengzhe held a rare fiery red wine glass and leaned lazily on the couch, listening to Mei's reply. Xiao Chengzhe's eyes shone brighter and brighter as the Mei reported the progress. The Mei knew that this was a sign that he was extremely interested in something.
After a long time, the Mei didn't speak again and just stood there quietly. Finally, he waited for his master to speak.
Xiao Chengzhe gently swirled his wine glass. His alluring voice rang out and filled the space. "So, Ye Qi was invited by General Ye to nurse Miss Ye's body. His medical skills are not bad, and Miss Ye often goes to look for him, staying in his courtyard for an entire afternoon.”
"Yes, it's said that Miss Ye is learning medicine from him.”
Xiao Chengzhe snorted lightly. Images of her pestering him flashed through his mind, and his eyes were filled with disdain and disgust. He squinted his eyes and looked at the faint moonlight outside the window. He said softly,"Are you really studying medicine? What was she trying to do? Ye Qi, who exactly are you?"
Hearing her master's whisper, Mei suddenly knelt down on one knee and said in a low voice,""This subordinate is incompetent. I was unable to investigate Ye Qi's past. I wasn't even able to find out when he appeared in the General's Estate and how he appeared.”
"Go down and receive your punishment." Xiao Chengzhe said calmly.
The Mei's body swayed, and she said yes before disappearing.
Xiao Chengzhe finished the wine in his glass and thought about Ye Qi's every move. He felt that it was somewhat familiar. He searched for some fragments in his mind, but he could not find any clues. He had a lot of doubts about Ye Suqi's medical studies. Based on his understanding of her, that woman had no other good qualities other than some mediocre martial arts. She was also unruly and willful. How could she settle down to study medicine? It was possible that she had taken a fancy to Ye Qi.
However, he remembered the scar on Ye Qi's face. That woman probably didn't know about the scar on his face. If she knew, she probably wouldn't want to step into that courtyard again.
As Xiao Chengzhe thought about it, the disgust in his eyes deepened. Suddenly, the scene of Ye Suqi barging into the palace alone with the imperial sword flashed across his mind. He felt that Ye Suqi had changed a little that day. Her actions were different from before. It seemed that she had not bothered him after she fell into the water. He smiled and shook his head. He must have been too tired these few days. That crazy woman did not pester him and he should feel lucky. He only hoped that Ye Qi would not have too much to do with General Ye's residence. If such a smart person was used by Ye Chen…It seemed that he would have to have a good talk with Old Yuan tomorrow.
Then, he poured another glass of wine and sipped. His eyes were dazed as he looked out the window. The hazy moonlight shone on him, adding a hint of mystery to him. He felt that this scene was like a painting, and he seemed to have walked out of it. He was so beautiful that it was unreal, and there was a feeling of being distant.
Fortunately, no one saw this scene. Otherwise, who knew how many boys and girls would be harmed? Sigh, it couldn't be helped. Our Great Prime Minister Xiao could be said to be both male and female.
At the same time, Su Qi had long fallen into a sweet dream. She had no idea that her little action had caused the youngest and most charming Prime Minister of the West Li Dynasty to fall into deep thought. Then, it directly caused Great Prime Minister Xiao to lose sleep for the first time that night.
Thus, before dawn the next day, Xiao Chengzhe went to the royal study alone with slightly dark circles under his eyes. He found that the Xiliyuan was still reading memorials. He did not sleep last night. He did not expect Old Yuan to stay up all night to work overtime.
"Yuan, you haven't stepped into the harem for a few days. I'm afraid the women in the harem are going to be lonely. Aren't you afraid that they will have an affair and put a green hat on the Lord of the West Li Dynasty?”Xiao Chengzhe came to the royal study as if he had come to his own study. He did not let the young eunuch outside inform him before he walked in and sat on a chair.
The Xili Pool put down the memorial in its hands and looked at the disrespectful Great Prime Minister Xiao. Its voice was cold and emotionless as it said,""What is it?"
Xiao Chengzhe was already used to the coldness of the Xili Abyss. Xiao Chengzhe glanced at him and said lazily,""Can't you come and see my Little Yuan Yuan for nothing?”
The Xili Pool's eyes flashed with an icy blade, and its tone was unusually cold. "Speak."
"Alright, alright, I'll say it. Little Yuan, don't be angry.”Xiao Chengzhe looked at the Xili Abyss with resentment when he saw the temperature drop rapidly. His eyes were filled with grievance as he silently complained about his lack of gentleness.
The corner of Xiliyuan's mouth twitched. He ignored his gaze and lowered his head to read the memorials.
Seeing that Little Yuan Yuan was ignoring him and busy himself, Xiao Chengzhe felt very wronged. He said,"I didn't sleep all night and rushed to send you the news. In the end, you still said that to me and didn't even look at me. I'm really sad.”
Xiliyuan could not stand the Great Prime Minister Xiao's teasing. He had not slept for the entire night and was already exhausted. At this moment, his head was starting to ache. Coupled with his disgusting tone, Xiliyuan gritted his teeth and tried his best to calm himself down. Xiao Chengzhe saw the corner of his mouth twitching and his eyes gradually filled with anger. He knew that he could not play anymore, so he slowly sat up straight and stopped joking.
Xiao Chengzhe said seriously,"Little Yuan Yuan is really boring. However, I met a very interesting person. Do you want to hear about it?"”
Xili Yuan ignored the way he addressed himself and said through gritted teeth,""It's best if you're talking about something I'm interested in. Otherwise, just wait for me to bestow you with a marriage.”
"Don't, I'm afraid that those beauties will be heartbroken.”Xiao Chengzhe raised his eyebrows. He did not care that Old Yuan would only threaten him with marriage. He looked at the Xili Pool and used his gaze to tell him that if he got married, there would be many beauties in the world who would be heartbroken.
Xili Yuan seemed to have lost the patience to tease him. He said coldly,""Speak."
After that, intermittent voices came from the royal study. As for what Xiao Chengzhe and Xili Yuan had said, only they knew. The young eunuchs outside only knew that every time Premier Xiao came, the Emperor would be so angry that he would stomp his feet. However, his temper would be unusually good that day and he would not easily lose his temper with them.
However, according to rumors, Xili Yuan was a person who did not get close to beauties. He rarely found someone to serve him in bed for a month. There was only one concubine and two nobles in the harem. This was too little for an Emperor. In the words of the ministers, it was not conducive to the Emperor's succession and the passing of blood. However, the ministers 'repeated remonstrances were all suppressed by the Xili Pool.
As time passed, rumors began to spread that the West Li Pool was a man who did not love women but men. The first suspect was naturally Xiao Chengzhe, who made women feel ashamed of their inferiority. It was said that Xiao Chengzhe was the Xili Abyss's male pet and the person he loved the most. The two of them always rubbed their heads in the royal study. The eunuchs outside often heard Premier Xiao's screams, which increased the credibility of this rumor.
Upon hearing such rumors, Xili Yuan felt helpless. On the other hand, Xiao Chengzhe was very happy and seemed to be enjoying it. However, only Great Prime Minister Xiao knew that he was enjoying Old Yuan's unspeakable helplessness.
