Chapter 41: Bamboo Sound Puzzle Part 1

It was already noon when we returned to the Military Advisor's Mansion. Zhuyin had already gone to court. When Su Xiyao saw him, she scolded him: "Why are you so drunk? Are you sober?"

"How did you know I was drunk?"

Su Xiyao said angrily: "How can I feel at peace when I don't come back late at night? Naturally, I sent Xiaozhu to the palace to investigate. She said you were so drunk that you slept like a dead pig."

"Oh, it turns out that Xiaozhu has been there, let me tell you." He Ran said and washed up.

When he sat down, Su Xiyao handed him a cup of tea and frowned slightly: "Why are you resting in the harem?"

He Ran hesitated for a moment and wanted to tell her about this, but found it difficult to speak, so he shook his head and said: "I was quite confused when I woke up. Maybe Pingjiang was afraid that I would catch a cold on the road after drinking. He hadn't yet

When he wakes up, I will ask him later."

"The royal palace is only a short walk away from the Military Advisor's Mansion. Although you are in-laws, it is not appropriate to stay overnight in the harem. Pingjiang is becoming more and more mischievous under your leadership."

He Ran said with a playful smile: "You can say the word "in-law" with your own mouth, why don't we have a solemn wedding?" After that, he added: "With the courtesy of the main wife."

Su Xiyao glared at him shyly and said, "You're so excited when you say you're fooling around. You're not afraid of people laughing at you, but I'm afraid. Who have you heard of who has two wives at the same time?"

He Ran said disapprovingly: "Everything has a beginning. Why shouldn't I start this thing?"

Su Xiyao didn't want to get entangled in this matter, waved her hand and said: "If you are still drunk, go in and sleep for a while, and don't talk nonsense to me."

He Ran leaned over and took her into his arms, and said seriously: "I am speaking from my heart. I will always be unwilling to marry you in an upright manner."

Su Xiyao knew that he was telling the truth, so she looked at him tenderly and said, "Why don't I want heaven and earth to witness our marriage, but..." At this point, she shook her head gently, "God's will is such that I am destined.

There is no such blessing. Don't think about it anymore. Even though I am not afraid of people's words, you have to think about Yin'er. She is a person who needs face very much. It is not worth it to cause her to be ridiculed by the world.

, It doesn’t matter if you don’t have a false reputation, I’m satisfied to be able to stay with you for the rest of my life.”

When Zhuyin was mentioned, He Ran's high enthusiasm cooled down. Yes, he could do whatever he wanted, but how could he feel at ease when Zhuyin was ridiculed by others? It seemed that he could only give up on this matter.

"I feel sorry for you." He kissed the two delicate lips of the beauty in his arms affectionately.

"I don't feel wronged." Su Xiyao kissed him back affectionately, then gently pushed him away. In order to prevent others from coming in and bumping into her, she asked softly: "Are you bringing Sister Nuanyu and the others back too?"

He Ran looked at her with fascination and said, "Let's go in two days. I want to make it up to you in the past few days."

Su Xiyao's pretty face turned red and she said provocatively: "Then you have to drive Yin'er away too."

He Ran blinked and thought for a while, then said: "In this way, when this war is over, we will return to Yueshan Villa to live for a while, just the two of us."

Su Xiyao was very happy about this proposal, and said with a smile in her bright eyes: "Then I have to stay longer, and I have to taste the vegetables you grew by yourself."

He Ran smiled with a bit of confusion in his eyes, as if he was recalling past scenes.

"It's settled, you won't even regret it this time." Su Xiyao pursed her lips and smiled.

He Ran nodded vigorously and said: "It's a deal, I'm going to have my long-cherished wish in your boudoir. Hehe, I had this sweet dream at that time."

Su Xiyao blushed with embarrassment and spat: "I'm just making stuff, that's all I think about all day long!"

He Ran was moved by the scene he imagined in his mind. He picked up the beauty and said, "I can't stand it anymore. I can't bear it anymore."

Su Xiyao was shy and anxious, and scolded in a low voice: "You want to kill me! Put it down quickly, you can't wait for half a day!"

"I can't wait a moment!" He Ran hugged the struggling beauty tightly and walked quickly into the inner room.

After dinner, He Ran went to Zhuyin's room. As soon as he entered the inner room, Zhuyin suppressed a smile and asked: "Did you do something shameful with your sister before dinner?"

He Ran said in surprise: "How do you know? There are too many surveillance cameras in the house? Even my sister dares to spy on me."

Zhuyin made a sound, then couldn't help laughing, and said: "It was her guilty conscience that made me see it. As soon as her eyes met me during the meal, I flickered away and her face turned red. She is the worst person."

You can't do anything wrong."

He Ran also smiled. The couple chatted for a while, and He Ran suddenly looked like he was hesitating to speak.

Zhuyin said magnanimously: "Just say what you want to say. Looking at you like this, I know that you have done something wrong. Just say it. I won't argue with you."

He Ran grinned and said: "There is something I really need to tell you. The more I think about it, the more inappropriate it becomes. My sister told you about looking for a concubine for Pingjiang."

"Yeah, you told me, I think it should be like this."

He Ran hesitated and said: "It's better to hold off for now. I'm afraid that I'll push Nanqi into a hurry. That would be bad."

Zhuyin stared at him with bright eyes and said: "This is strange. Logically speaking, you are hoping that Nan Xiu will jump over the wall, so that you will have a chance to catch her. There is no reason for you to be afraid of her."

He Ran sighed and said: "Isn't this all caused by the situation? War may start at any time, and elected officials have to be pushed aside. At this time, there cannot be chaos in the country."

Zhuyin felt that this was reasonable, so he nodded and said: "That's fine, I haven't given the order yet, so let's wait until the war is over."

He Ran secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but after saying a few words, a look of embarrassment gradually appeared on his face.

Zhuyin found it funny and said: "What's wrong? You're distracted. What did you do to make you feel so uncomfortable?"

He Ran clenched his teeth and muttered: "I think it's better to tell you. I get confused when I think about this, but I have to figure it out. Please help me put an end to it."

Zhuyin laughed in surprise, "Is there anything else you don't understand? I want to hear it."

He Ran said with a sad face: "I sincerely ask you for help. After listening to this, please don't doubt me. I promise that everything I say is the truth."

Seeing his expression, Zhuyin knew that this matter was definitely not a big deal. She couldn't help but put away her smile and said attentively: "Just tell me."

He Ran frowned, scratched the back of his neck, and looked at Zhuyin for a long time without saying a word.

"Let's talk." Zhuyin looked at him calmly, without any hint of impatience, but thoughtfully handed him a cup of tea.

He Ran took the tea cup, put it down when it reached his mouth, and said with determination: "You should know that I stayed drunk in the harem last night."

Hearing that it was related to the harem, Zhuyin's expression changed slightly. He nodded calmly and said, "I know, please speak slowly."

He Ran took a breath and said: "I was so drunk that I fell unconscious."

"I heard, aren't they Ping Jiang and Xu Tong? In the past, a group of people couldn't get you drunk, so why did they get you drunk?" The matter was so important that Zhuyin did not let go of anyone who had doubts.

detail.

"I just said that I am telling the truth in every sentence now. You don't have to be suspicious. They took turns drinking with me. Nanqi is a wine supervisor and cannot be cunning at all. Although I am the last one to fall, I am really

You are so drunk that you don’t know everything.”

"Oh, go on." Zhuyin narrowed his eyes slightly.

He Ran raised his head and thought for a while, then continued: "When I woke up, it was almost noon the next day. In total, I slept for almost half the day and one night."

"You're really drunk." Zhuyin said softly.

"I didn't know anything during this period. When I woke up, I saw Nan Qi coming in in a hurry, looking very strange."

"What's the weird method? She came in alone? No palace maid was accompanying her?" Zhuyin asked slightly nervously.

"She's the only one, her expression... that expression..." He Ran was a little embarrassed to say, "That expression was a bit like what my sister looked like at the dinner just now."

Zhuyin's slightly narrowed eyes widened immediately, and her breasts rose and fell. She already understood what he meant, and asked anxiously: "Are you really not conscious at all in your sleep?"

He Ran nodded affirmatively, "I don't know anything. After she came in, she found a hosta on the bed, pinned it on her head, and turned around and left without saying a word."

"You should have grabbed her and asked her straight away. You couldn't just let her go." Zhuyin looked at him nervously.

"I did do that, but her... words and expression were very ambiguous, indicating that she didn't blame me and would keep it a secret, making it look like it was just a matter of fact."

"Is that true?" Zhuyin was really anxious. This was a big deal.

He Ran said with a bitter face: "I just want you to help me break it off. I want to know why I need your help." Zhuyin closed his bright eyes slightly, calmed down, and narrowed his eyes slightly to concentrate on thinking.

stand up.

The way she looked when she was thinking was very charming, but He Ran was no longer in the mood to appreciate it, and looked at her pitifully, waiting for the result.

Not long after, Zhuyin shook his head and said: "I don't think she is the person to do such a thing."

"I think so too, but I'm just not sure." He Ran hesitantly recounted all the strange things Nan Qi had said about him before.

Zhuyin also began to waver at this time, and after thinking for a while, he said: "I still think she is not that kind of person. Don't be sentimental. These may be the mazes she deliberately set up."

He Ran relaxed a little and said: "Onlookers know clearly, what you said should be right."

Zhuyin thought about it again and said with a more certain tone: "Nine times out of ten it is like this."

He Ran asked doubtfully: "What do you want her to do? Use this matter to frame me? In that case, should she start a fuss when the time comes, or does she want to use this as a leverage to blackmail me?"

Zhuyin smiled contemptuously and said: "Of course it's the latter, but it's not appropriate to call it coercion. If my guess is correct, she wants to capture your heart. She has seen through your compassionate heart. Now she has all her claws.

If you lose, the only thing you can use is your own beauty, you have fallen into the trap."

He Ran said awkwardly: "What nonsense are you talking about? How could I touch her mind? Let's see what you say to me."

A sneer appeared at the corner of Zhuyin's mouth, "Half of your soul has been lost by her. How many men are not self-righteous and self-righteous? Aren't you already unclear whether she has true feelings for you? The matter of choosing a concubine must also be postponed.

Later, you still said that you didn’t fall into the trap?”

He Ran was very embarrassed and anxiously defended: "I really don't care about her in my heart. I regard Pingjiang as a brother. Am I still a human being if I have delusional thoughts about my brother's wife? No matter how lustful I am, I can't be such a bastard."
