The darkness in Sicang's eyes faded, he raised his gaze slightly, and a hint of joy appeared in his dark eyes: "Thank you, Your Highness."
Yun Zishu didn't say anything and didn't feel that Sicang needed to thank her at all.
She had not specifically learned about tattoos, but she knew that many prisoners would be tattooed on their faces or ears when they were assigned, so that people could see and identify them at a glance.
They may even be stamped with the mark of lifelong slavery, and they will not be able to turn over for the rest of their lives.
There are also some dignitaries who have some special hobbies and will tattoo some special patterns on their concubines. Courtesans in brothels also like to tattoo some patterns to increase their ornamental value.
This is the first time Yun Zishu has met someone like Sicang.
She wondered whether she should choose a good and auspicious day to complete such a ceremony?
"Otherwise, you can choose a day by yourself." Yun Zishu said, "You can tell me what words you want to tattoo."
Sicang lowered his head: "His Highness's name."
Yun Zishu was silent: "Stab my name?"
"Um."
Yun Zishu thought for a while and roughly understood what he meant. She couldn't tell what she felt for the moment, so she just nodded slowly: "That's okay."
Si Cang narrowed his eyes: "We can start tomorrow."
So anxious?
"Sicang." Yun Zishu looked at him calmly, "You can think about it for a few days, in case you regret it later..."
There was no need to consider what the master wanted to do, but Sicang's weight in Yun Zishu's heart was different.
"My subordinates will not regret it." Sicang reiterated again, "After making a contract, there will be no room for regret in this life."
Seeing his insistence, Yun Zishu could only nod: "In that case, go and prepare things and start tomorrow."
"yes."
Si Cang breathed out a subtle sigh, his mind relaxed, leaving a mark that belonged to her on her body, and she would depend on each other for life and death, and would never leave her.
"Okay, get up."
Si Cang agreed and then stood up. His eyes fell on Yun Zishu's face, and his eyes were full of deep and suppressed emotions.
Yun Zishu was quite stressed by such a look.
"Your Highness." The stewardess stood outside the palace and bowed to report, "Nanny Cao, who is with the Queen Mother, is here, and she brought two female officials with her. She said that she came to serve His Highness on the orders of the Queen Mother. Your Highness wants to do it now.
See them?"
Yun Zishu breathed a subtle sigh of relief. She didn't feel anything before, but for some reason today, facing Sicang's deep gaze, she always felt a little helpless.
"Aunt Cao came very quickly." Yun Zishu said calmly, her voice slightly raised, "Let them come in."
"Yes." The steward took the order and left.
Yun Zishu stood up and walked out, saying calmly: "How is Li Xuan doing now?"
Sicang said: "Still alive."
"Let him go." Yun Zishu said casually, with an understatement, "I promised Mrs. Xiao that as long as I can successfully get back my dowry, I will let Li Xuan go."
"yes."
Aunt Cao came with a few palace maids from afar. Under the guidance of the steward, she went directly to the outside of Qifeng Hall and bowed respectfully: "I pay my respects to Her Royal Highness the Princess."
Yun Zishu said: "Mom, you don't need to be polite."
"The Queen Mother ordered the old slave and others to come and serve His Highness for a while." Aunt Cao said respectfully, "In the future, if Your Highness has anything to do, you can ask the old slave to do it. If someone sends a message to His Highness, inviting His Highness to participate in the flower party, Your Highness
You can also bring the old slave with you. If anyone dares to be disrespectful to His Highness, the old slave will be disrespectful to him."
Yun Zishu smiled faintly: "Okay, then I will point to you from now on."
"I don't dare, old slave."
"Let Aunt Ren take you to settle down first."
"yes."
Yun Zishu watched Aunt Cao and several palace maids leave, and her expression quickly returned to calmness: "There are no problems with the Queen Mother and the Feng family. I have to think carefully about what should be done next."
"The Household Department has been taken over by Gu Qiubai, and His Highness can start planning the Staff Department." Si Cangdan said, "An Rong, the Secretary of the Staff Department, is a person who can be used, but he is not a reliable person. Before planning the Staff Department, Your Highness should
First, choose a trustworthy person to win over and ask him to be loyal to His Highness."
Yun Zishu thought quietly, An Rong, the Minister of Civil Affairs, had a wife and a concubine at home. The wife gave birth to a son and a daughter, and the concubine gave birth to a son. And I heard that the concubine born by the concubine had a good appearance and fully inherited the inheritance.
The advantages of his biological mother.
But in ordinary official families, if the wives and concubines are at odds, the relationship between the legitimate son and the concubine will definitely not be very good.
In addition, An Rong's wife Pan is also the sister of the Marquis of Xiping, and the in-law relationships in the capital are really intricate and endless. The Prince Rong's Mansion and the Xiping Marquis' Mansion are nepotism, and the Xiping Marquis' Mansion and An Shangshu are nepotistic.
The government is also an in-law, so there is a saying called forming a clique for personal gain. Isn’t this the same as forming a clique for personal gain?
Yun Zishu thought about who to start with, walked up the stone steps, and walked slowly outside the courtyard: "Take your time, don't rush."
Sicang followed.
Leng Yue and Leng Shuang stood on the stone steps outside the palace, looking up at the sky silently. With the commander beside His Highness, the two guards here would have to be reduced to maids in the future.
Even if you are following His Highness, you have to lag a few steps behind. It is best to just follow from a distance and not disturb His Highness and the Lord Commander when they are alone.
"Go and have a look at Qingchen Residence?"
Sicang nodded: "Yes."
So Yun Zishu and Sicang walked leisurely towards Qingchen Residence. The maids and nuns who came and went along the way silently saluted. After Yun Zishu walked over, they continued to do what they were doing.
There was no announcement, no singing, Yun Zishu quietly walked into the small courtyard of Qingchenju, and heard a burst of accusations mixed with resentment from a distance: "She has gone too far. Brother Heng is also her husband after all, how can she be so ruthless?"
Unrighteous and cruel? Sure enough, she has not been taught by her mother since she was a child, she is just different from a normal woman and has no education at all."
Sicang's expression was stern, his eyes were filled with cold frost, and he was about to get angry when he suddenly felt a cool touch on his hand. He was slightly startled, and looked down silently. Yun Zishu held his hand, not knowing whether to comfort or comfort him.
Tell him not to be angry.
Sicang's eyes fell on her delicate white hands, and the violent energy in his body was dissipated little by little.
"Everyone says that a woman must obey the three virtues and stick to the four virtues. She is good at hooking up with other men in front of Brother Heng. She is unruly and free-spirited!" Li Xue said more and more enthusiastically, not knowing that there was something going on outside.
Someone heard her words clearly, "No wonder she wants to divorce her husband so much. In fact, she has been secretly hooking up with that Sicang for a long time. Brother Heng is so willing to compromise. Not only is she not moved at all, but he also repeatedly
Humiliated and tortured Brother Heng twice... Oooh, why are you so miserable, Brother Heng?"
At the end of the story, she couldn't help crying again, but she didn't know whether she was crying because of Xiao Yunheng's suffering, or because she was unwilling to accept the injustice.
Yun Zishu stood outside and listened quietly, the corners of her lips unconsciously raising a playful arc.
"Stop crying." Xiao Yunheng's voice sounded, no longer showing the gentle love in the past, but with a bit of impatience, "Give me a glass of water."
Li Xue paused for a moment, then responded tiredly, stood up and went to pour water, "When can we leave this hellish place? I can't stay here any longer. Not only is the food getting worse, but I also have to order hot water from the kitchen."
Judging from the looks on their faces, it’s simply not a place for people to live.”
Xiao Yunheng's voice became colder: "You have been complaining since you woke up in the morning, and you have been complaining until now. Are you tired? Can you let me clear my ears?"
"I..." Li Xue started crying again, "Brother Heng, do you think I'm annoying? But wasn't I forced by that poisonous woman Yun Zishu? How has Brother Heng ever suffered so much in his life?
"
Xiao Yunheng's tone was depressed: "Are you wronged?"
"I...I didn't mean that." Li Xue swallowed more, "Xue'er is just complaining for Brother Heng."
The sound of the chains shaking came. Xiao Yunheng adjusted his body slightly, and then heard him say: "It's already like this, what's the use of complaining so much? The top priority is to find a way to solve this dilemma."
Li Xue's voice paused, "What can Brother Heng do?"
"How's the weather today?"
Li Xue replied: "The sun is very strong and it's a bit hot."
"Wait until it rains." Xiao Yunheng thought for a while, "After it rains, you go outside to soak in the rain. After you catch the wind and cold, she will definitely call a doctor for you so that you can rest for a few days, unless she is willing to send a maid.
Come and take care of you, or you'll unchain me and let me take care of you, and we'll have a chance."
