Looking at his son's still cold gaze, Xu Kejian felt that his face was getting hot and he couldn't help but lower his head. He only heard Xu Xian say: "My father didn't know that at that time, even if someone took my brother and sister to the streets to beg for food, it would be a good thing."

Xu Kerjian said shyly: "As a father, I owe a lot of debt. I really don't dare to go back to Kaifeng. The creditor didn't want you two to suffer."

"Oh, it seems that a creditor wanted to bring in small silkworms to sell, but he was beaten away by the neighbor's aunt and never came again. Previously, a eunuch from the Tang Dynasty's envoy came to Liuhe Bay to look for me, but you

Sent?"

Xu Kejian nodded and said, "Yes! I sent someone to follow the mission to Tokyo to inquire about you. Knowing that you are all alive and well, I no longer have any worries."

"That's why you didn't recognize me when I captured you at sea."

Xu Kejian let out a long sigh and said: "My son was already the lord of a town at that time, and his eunuch father was afraid that your face would be disgraced. At that time, you couldn't recognize me face to face, and you might not believe me if I told you at that time.

"

"My father has worked so hard and I am very moved. But why do you want to recognize me today?"

Xu Kejian raised his head and looked at Queen Zhou who was constantly crying on the bed, "It's because of Your Highness. When I committed suicide, it was Your Highness who had people rescue me from the river. He comforted me from time to time along the way and even took me in to work in the house. If you really will

She has been defiled, and with her character, she may have the desire to die. Your Highness has been very kind to me, so I beg you to spare her."

Xu Xian sneered and said, "I'm afraid it's been a long time since my father passed away and I haven't experienced anything about men and women. Now I'm on the verge of an arrow. How can I hold it back?" He turned around and said, "Father, please go out now. Don't worry.

Interrupt my happiness."

Just hearing a pop, Xu Xian felt his legs tighten. He looked down and saw Xu Kejian kneeling on the ground holding his thigh and refusing to let go, "What are you doing? Get up!"

Xu Kejian cried and begged: "As a father, I only ask you for this one time. Just think of it as repaying my kindness in giving birth, okay?"

"I think you look like her father, that's all. I'm not interested in being disturbed like this by you."

"Seriously?" Xu Kejian happily let go of Xu Xian's legs and cupped his hands and said, "As a father, I thank you...didn't you promise me?" Seeing Xu Xian walking towards the bed, Xu Kejian became nervous again.

Xu Xian said: "She always asked me to take the clothes...you see she is actually very reluctant to part with them."

Zhou Hou must have been in deep love. Her charming eyes stretched out her hand to hold Xu Xian's arm and wouldn't let go, "Please don't leave, Lieutenant!"

As soon as Xu Xian leaned over, she hooked her neck, and there was another verbal entanglement. Xu Xian's hand even reached under Zhou Hou's clothes to feel around.

Xu Kejian stamped his feet angrily on the side, "What an injustice, you still haven't left!" Xu Kejian directly pulled Xu Xian up, "Let's go, you just promised me."

Xu Xian wiped the mucus on his lips and then left the bed. When he walked to the door, Xu Kejian stopped him again, pointed at Queen Xu on the bed and said, "Is there no antidote? Is it possible to let her go on like this!"

"I am the antidote, but you don't let her use it!"

"Get out of here!"

Xu Xian left Zhou Hou's yard, fetched Xu Lang and asked him for the antidote, and found a maid to deliver to Zhou Hou before going to bed to rest. However, he lay in bed for half the night but could not close his eyes.

I regretted that I didn't have the heart to take down Zhou Hou, and I also digested the sudden pop-up of the eunuch father.

The name of a eunuch's son is not very pleasant, especially in the Tang Dynasty, which experienced the eunuch disaster. Having a eunuch father would not only make him a laughing stock, but would also be used to criticize him, which was very detrimental to his efforts to form a united front.

I just thought about it for half the night and didn't have any good ideas. It wasn't until I wanted to see the famous Cao Cao who was the eunuch's grandson that I felt a little more balanced. As long as he was strong enough, there would be people rushing to hug him.

After a sound sleep all night, when he woke up, it was already three o'clock in the morning. As soon as he got up, Xu Lang came in and said: "Father, Feng Yanlu is here and wants to pick up Queen Zhou."

"Then let him pick him up. Tang Guo gave us a ransom and also allowed us to garrison him. He can't ruin his reputation."

"If Zhou Hou leaves, there will be no one waiting on his father's bed. How can the child not be worried?"

"Haha... You are filial! As a father, he is still starting a business, so he should not indulge in women. He is afraid that he will be without a woman in the future." Xu Xian slapped his thigh, "I forgot to settle him!"

Xu Xian hurried to the courtyard where Queen Zhou was. From a distance, he saw Xu Kejian helping Queen Zhou get into the carriage. Queen Zhou seemed to have seen him and quickly got into the carriage.

Xu Xian waved to Xu Kejian, and Xu Kejian slowly came over and said angrily: "I'm leaving now, why do you want to come again?"

"Why did the old castrate talk to my father!" Xu Lang raised his hand to slap Xu Kejian in the mouth. Xu Xian grabbed his wrist and said, "You have nothing to do here. Go to the kitchen and bring me a breakfast."

.”

Seeing Xu Lang leaving, Xu Xian asked softly: "Do you want to go back to Tang to serve others? You are already quite old, so just stay in Yangzhou and spend your remaining years."

However, Xu Kejian's eyes turned red and he burst into tears immediately, "My son can say this, and he will be satisfied as a father. But if I stay, it will only bring disgrace to you. My son's wealth obtained by his own ability will not be the same."

As a father, I can't cause trouble for you.

In fact, when I work in the palace, I am just talking for His Highness, so there is no hard work. I am of no use to you, but His Highness can't live without me, so just ask me to go back."

"If you want to go back, I won't stop you. If one day you can't do it anymore, just send a message back and I'll send someone to pick you up!" Xu Xian looked at the direction of the carriage again, "Is she looking for a life or death?"

Xu Kejian said: "It is the best time. How can you want to die when you still have two young sons? I stopped her and cried in bed for half the night. You are really guilty!" Unexpectedly, he changed the subject and said,

"Anyone who falls into the hands of such a stunning beauty will be greedy. If you are not interested in becoming a father, I will be worried that there is something wrong with you!"

Xu Kejian said as he took out a small red cloth bag from his arms and handed it to Xu Xian. Xu Xian opened it and saw a pair of small gold bracelets inside, "What is this?"

Xu Kejian said: "When I came back to Yangzhou last time, my father inquired and found out that you already have a son. I am very happy to have incense in my family. When I returned to Jinling, I had these gold bracelets made and kept them on my body. I didn't expect this.

Send it out quickly."

"I thank my father for Anping!"

"Anping, what a good name. In this troubled world, nothing is better than Ankang and peace!"

Xu Kerjian smiled and turned around and got into the carriage. The coachman led the horse out of the Jiedushi Mansion through the side door. Feng Yanlu was already standing outside the door and stepped forward to greet Empress Zhou, then accompanied the carriage and horse to the dock.

There was a magnificent ship parked there, which was the ship used by Li Yu during his personal expedition. It was regarded as a return gift from Xu Xian. After Zhou Hou got on the ship, the boatman immediately pulled the anchor and sailed south along the canal.

When the ship sailed into the broad river, Xu Hou's heart finally fell into her stomach. She opened the window and glanced north. She felt that this trip was like an illusory dream, extremely unreal.

Especially what happened last night made her both sad and angry. Her chastity of more than twenty years had been tarnished. She didn't know how to face her husband and children. When she thought of this, she felt confused and confused. The only thing she was thankful for was...

It was at the last moment that Xu Xian stopped, giving her a reason to live on.

She raised her eyes and looked at the bronze mirror beside her. She looked dignified, beautiful and charming in it. No man could resist her beauty except the eunuch, but why could Xu Xian be able to bear it? Am I not beautiful enough in his eyes?

For some reason, there was still a slight sense of loss in her heart. Thinking of the scene last night when she and Xu Xian hugged each other, kissed each other, and caressed each other, Zhou Hou couldn't help but blush on her face.

Bah! Bah! Bah! She secretly spat a few times in her heart, annoyed that she had such shameless thoughts.

Seeing the stunned look on Hou Zhou's face, Xu Kerjian advised: "Your Highness has left Yangzhou now, so don't think about those unhappy things anymore."

Zhou Hou said to Xu Kerjian: "I know. I also want to thank you for stopping Xu Xian last night and preventing me from completely falling into ruin."

Xu Kejian waved his hands repeatedly and said: "Didn't I say before, the one named Xu had an urgent military situation to deal with, so His Highness was able to escape from the catastrophe. It is not the fault of the old slave."

Queen Zhou shook her head and said, "You don't have to hide it from me. Although I couldn't control myself last night, I was neither blind nor deaf. I heard clearly what you and Xu said."

Hearing this, Xu Kejian had a look of panic on his face, and quickly knelt down and whispered: "Unless I intentionally deceive Your Highness, I would have thought that my stupid son had passed away long ago. Who knew he could be so capable? Na Si did this to Your Highness.

The act of acting like an animal makes me feel unworthy of Your Highness's kindness in the past, and I am willing to die to atone for my sins."

Empress Zhou leaned over and helped Xu Kejian up, "Although I hate Xu Xian, I don't blame you. If you didn't stop me, I would have no face to live in this world. Since you recognized Xu Xian, you still followed me back to Jinling, which shows your loyalty.

, I don’t blame you.”

Xu Kejian kowtowed and thanked: "Thank you for your tolerance, Your Highness!" He wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and said: "The incident in Yangzhou has passed. Your Highness must not take it to heart anymore. It is just a nightmare. How to deal with Your Majesty is the most important thing now.

!”

Hou Zhou certainly understood what Xu Kejian meant. She had already been captured and could not be purified even after jumping into the Yellow River. Li Yu was also a very suspicious person. He sent Feng Yanlu to meet Hou Zhou twice just to see if she had been defiled by Xu Xian.

Xu Kejian said: "His Royal Highness is a pure heart and is not good at hypocrisy. Once his guilty conscience is revealed, how will he deal with it? His Majesty cannot tolerate sand in his eyes. Maybe he will be treated coldly or even be forced to die."

Queen Zhou felt suffocated and shook her head repeatedly, "No, Your Majesty will not treat me like this."

"I know that Your Majesty and His Highness are deeply in love with each other, but I can't stand being manipulated by others. Your Majesty is not the only woman! Isn't Your Highness aware of all the scandalous things in the palace?"

Zhou Hou was also a little panicked, "Then... what should we do?"

"It's not difficult at all. Your Highness just needs to have a good conversation with the servant. Your Highness can't show any signs of cowardice. If you go through the night smoothly, you will probably be able to deal with it."

"Please, father-in-law, teach me!"

The two of them probably started talking to each other immediately, wishing to reorganize what happened in Yangzhou. They didn't even bother to eat lunch. By the time the ship arrived at Jinling, it was already dark. They landed at the pier and changed carriages. When they entered the palace,

The sky has turned dark.

The carriage entered the palace from the side door and stopped slowly in front of the Yaoguang Palace where she lived. Before she got up, she heard a cry, "Sister, you are back!"

Then a figure came in, hugged Zhou Hou, lay on her body and cried bitterly, "I thought I would never see Sister A again!"

"Sister, I'm back now!" Zhou Hou tried not to let her tears flow out, "Let's get off the carriage before we talk!"

The two sisters helped each other out of the carriage, and saw Li Yu standing in front of the palace gate, looking straight at Zhou Hou's beautiful face, as if he wanted to see something.

Zhou Hou felt deeply blessed, but she raised her head and looked back at Li Yu, her eyes flashing with tears, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for rescuing me!"

Li Yu couldn't help but feel soft, and immediately helped her up, "Let the queen suffer!"

"My concubine is not miserable. It is the blessing of the Tang Dynasty that your majesty can return safely!" She said, already lying on Li Yu's shoulder.

Li Yu patted Queen Zhou on the back and said, "The queen hasn't eaten yet. If you have anything to say, we can talk to her after dinner in the palace."

Seeing Li Yu and Zhou Hou entering the palace together, Xu Kejian couldn't help but sigh in his heart, "Women are indeed born to act, and His Highness is pure-hearted and can easily control them."

He was about to follow, but someone grabbed him by the collar behind him. He turned around and saw that it was Ruan Xiaoyu, the Marquis of Yu of the Shenwu Army. He asked with a smile: "Why did Marquis Ruan Yu pull me?"

Ruan Xiaoyupi smiled and said: "I have something to ask my father-in-law. Please come with me."

"If Marquis Yu has something to say, wouldn't it be better to ask it here?"
