Chen Jie was also startled by Li Ye's sudden fall to the ground. She hurriedly put the tray aside on the ground, squatted in front of Li Ye and kept pushing Li Ye's shoulders.
"Ye'er, what's wrong with you? Don't scare your mother.
Wake up quickly, wake up quickly."
"Master? Master? Are you okay?"
What responded to Chen Jie and Chen Jie was Li Ye's even snoring, and Chen Jie and Chen Jie were relieved when they saw this.
Only then did I realize that Li Ye fell to the ground because he drank too much and his body couldn't bear it anymore, rather than because he suddenly fell to the ground due to some sudden emergency.
Chen Jie wiped the sweat from her forehead in shock: "Xiao Dezi, please help Ye'er to rest on his couch first. Later, Aijia will boil a pot of hot water and you can help him wash his body.
Smells like alcohol.”
Xiao Dezi looked at Chen Jie in embarrassment: "Madam, the young master just told me that he and I will sleep together tonight on the side where we usually live.
He said that he would let you and Mr. Liu rest on his couch. If I help the young master back, you and Mr. Liu will not have a place to stay tonight.
I don't dare to disobey the young master, and I hope the empress will not mind me.
The younger one will help the young master go to the younger bedroom to have a rest. Mr. Liu will be taken care of by Mrs. Lao. The younger one will take his leave first."
Upon hearing this, Chen Jie's cheeks suddenly turned red. Seeing Xiao Dezi supporting the unconscious Li Ye, staggering towards the short bedroom next to the courtyard door, her lips sighed silently and held the hand in her hand.
The tray walked towards the main room.
Gently closing the door, looking at Mr. Liu who was also drunk and unconscious lying on the table, Chen Jie helplessly put the sobering soup in the tray on the table and began to clean up the table.
leftovers.
When Chen Jie carried the remaining dishes on a tray to the kitchen, Liu Mingzhi, who was unconscious, suddenly sat upright.
Young Master Liu was silent for a while with eyes filled with tears. He breathed out the alcohol breath, picked up the hangover soup that Chen Jie had just put down next to him and tasted it carefully. His eyes were shining and he didn't know what to think about.
"Yeah - you - aren't you drunk?"
Young Master Liu put down the soup bowl, stood up with a smile and walked towards Chen Jie, who was leaning against the door and holding her chest in shock.
"I woke up from peeing!
After I finished urinating, I found the hangover soup you prepared for my husband, Jie'er. You are so considerate, Jie'er."
Chen Jie patted her chest and let out a silent sigh, closed the door and gave Young Master Liu an annoyed look.
"You still know what to say, look at what you did to Ye'er and the others by drinking them.
One was drunk and unconscious, and the other was walking unsteadily and lost consciousness.
Ye'er never knew how to drink when he was in the capital before... Ah... You scoundrel, please let go.
Huh...what are you doing? You are not honest even when you are drunk!"
Young Master Liu silently held Chen Jie in his arms: "Good Jie'er, my husband made a bet with you when we were cooking.
If you keep feasting on your husband's grilled fish at the dinner table, it means you have lost.
According to our bet, if you lose, what do you want to do as a husband?"
Chen Jie's cheeks were burning and she struggled: "I didn't agree to bet with you."
"Then I don't care, you lose anyway."
"You! A stinking scoundrel!"
"Hehehe, even if my husband is a big scoundrel, I will only be a scoundrel to you, Jie'er."
Listening to Young Master Liu's frank words of love, Chen Jie's delicate body suddenly softened, and she instinctively snuggled into Liu Mingzhi's arms, her blurred phoenix eyes retaining the last bit of clarity, and her breath was like orchid, breathing.
"Even if I lose, you still have to wait until we return to Beijing.
Now we are at Ye'er's home, how can we do that here! What if they hear you give up as a concubine?
Good husband, can we talk about it after we return to Beijing?
I will promise you everything after I return to Beijing!"
Ignoring Chen Jie's shy pleading, Liu Mingzhi picked up the beauty and walked towards the bed.
"You also said that they were all drunk and unconscious.
Even if we knock down the house, they won't know.
Don’t worry!”
"No, please let go of me quickly, I'm afraid if they... 嘤咘..."
The moon is hazy, and the courtyard outside Yanliu Village is full of spring breeze, full of spring spirit.
The next day, the sun rose about three poles.
After washing and getting dressed, Mr. and Mrs. Liu walked out of the room. After searching around, they finally found Xiao Dezi outside the courtyard gate.
Young Master Liu frowned slightly and looked in surprise at Xiao Dezi, who was squatting outside the courtyard gate and serving two bloody horses with good fodder.
"You said Li Ye asked you to tell Jie'er that he went fishing?"
Xiao Dezi nodded tremblingly: "Hui sir, this is indeed what the young master said."
Chen Jie hurriedly walked to Liu Mingzhi and looked at Xiao Dezi anxiously with her beautiful eyes: "Did he say when he would be back?"
"This young master didn't tell the younger one, but the young master specifically told me that after seeing you, he asked the younger one to tell the husband and the queen... a word about you.
Have a safe journey, and I won’t send you far.”
Chen Jie's pretty face changed, she looked downcast and wanted to say something, but she was stopped by Liu Mingzhi. He raised his eyes and glanced in the direction of Yanliu River. Liu Mingzhi held Chen Jie's wrist and sighed quietly.
"This child is afraid of being sad when parting!
In this case, let’s not let him down and let’s set off.”
Chen Jie's beautiful eyes reluctantly glanced at the Yanliu Village trail where the ice and snow had not yet melted and there were no traces of people, and she turned to look at Liu Mingzhi expectantly.
"How about we go and see him from a distance before setting off?
I beg you!"
Liu Mingzhi squinted his eyes and was silent for a while and nodded slightly: "Xiao Dezi, where did Li Ye go fishing?"
Xiao Dezi hesitated for a moment and pointed out his hand: "It's probably at that location. If the young master discovers the husband and the empress, please don't say that it was the young master who told you."
"Don't worry, you can go back first."
Xiao Dezi handed the horse reins to the two of them and gave them a big salute with a low expression.
"We wish you, sir, a happy journey."
Liu Mingzhi patted Xiao Dezi, an old friend of his, on the shoulder with a dejected look, then took the horse's rein and walked towards the Yanliu River.
"Oh! Take good care of your young master and stay!"
"Farewell to Mr. Liu, and congratulations to the empress."
"drive!"
On the wooden bridge of the Yanliu River, Liu Mingzhi and his two men were riding horses and silently watching the figure a hundred steps away wearing a raincoat and a bamboo hat sitting by the river holding a fishing rod and holding a wine bag, looking slightly lonely?
The expressions on the faces are different.
"A coir, a straw hat, a small boat, a silken hook and a one-inch hook. A song, a bottle of wine, and one person fishing alone for a whole spring and autumn."
"drive!"
"Husband? Are you really not going to say goodbye to Ye'er?"
"Jie'er, don't tell anyone about things that can rot in your stomach. If you tell one person, then everyone in the world will know about it.
If you can't keep a secret yourself, why don't you expect others to keep a secret?
Do you understand what I mean?"
Chen Jie was silent for a long time and nodded with a painful expression.
"I understand, I promise that I will not mention a word about Ye'er's life to anyone unless I get your permission."
"I'm embarrassing you, but this is for the good of Li Ye, for the good of you and me, and for the good of the world.
If some interested people knew that Li Ye, the former emperor, was still alive, Dalong, which had been calm for three years, would start another earth-shattering bloody storm.
And for the sake of peace and tranquility in the world, I had no choice at that time but to kill him with my own hands to avoid future troubles."
Chen Jie's delicate body suddenly trembled, her beautiful eyes stared sadly at Liu Mingzhi's resolute face, and she kept shaking her head.
"No, don't kill him.
I beg you, please don’t kill him, as you said, you treat him as half a son!"
"Something is not my fault!"
"I understand, I understand, I promise not to reveal any information about Ye'er to others."
