From a son-in-law to a favorite of the empress

Chapter 309

Zhao Jianjia's call almost scared Zhou Yuan to death.

Princess Bishui shrank directly into the quilt, shivering.

"Husband?"

Zhao Jianjia knocked on the door gently, as if she was about to come in.

Zhou Yuan was startled, and quickly reached out to stuff Princess Bishui's shoes under the bed, and quickly put down the mosquito net.

The door opened, and Zhao Jianjia walked in slowly. Looking at the tightly closed and slightly trembling mosquito net, her brows subconsciously frowned.

She whispered: "Husband, are you still not awake?"

Her footsteps were getting closer.

Zhou Yuan hurriedly said: "Jianjia, I'm still a little dizzy, so I won't eat dinner and want to continue sleeping."

He must stop Zhao Jianjia from opening the mosquito net.

But Zhao Jianjia was still approaching and said, "Ziyuan has made a hangover soup. Do you want to get up and drink some?"

Zhou Yuan laughed dryly and said, "No need. I want to rest for a while. Go and get busy."

"Oh..."

Zhao Jianjia stopped and said softly, "Then my husband, you should have a good rest. If you are hungry, I will ask Ziyuan to make you food."

Until her footsteps gradually faded away and the sound of the door closing rang out, Zhou Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, his face was already full of sweat.

He finally couldn't help asking, "Princess, why are you sleeping here?"

Princess Bishui said bitterly, "I drank a few more cups at noon and felt very uncomfortable. My sister brought me to the side yard."

"She said that no one lives here and no one will disturb me..."

Nonsense, it's true that no one lives here, but this is the closest to the third courtyard. I couldn't stand being drunk, so I ran here naturally!

As a result, such a big mistake was made.

"Alas..."

Zhou Yuan said helplessly; "It's come to this, there's no point in saying anything else."

"You! You still..."

Princess Bishui's pretty face flushed, her voice trembling: "You still bully me like this?"

Zhou Yuan smiled bitterly: "It's like this, what else can't be done? Since you're here, you might as well have some fun."

After a long time.

Zhou Yuan couldn't let go of her, and couldn't help saying: "I have to say, you've taken good care of yourself."

Princess Bishui begged: "Don't... don't make trouble, I want to go back home, it's dark."

Zhou Yuan said: "Can you go back alone in this state?"

"Help me... prepare a carriage for me."

Princess Bishui was about to cry. If she stayed overnight in Zhou's house, she would really be ashamed to see people.

"Wait here, I'll be back soon."

After a while, Zhou Yuan walked into the room and saw that she was already dressed.

Zhou Yuan whispered, "Guan Lu will quietly take you out of the palace. The carriage is ready and will take you to Princess Bishui's palace."

Princess Bishui was a little scared and hurriedly said, "Zhou Yuan, don't tell anyone about this. The royal family's reputation cannot be ruined in my hands."

Royal reputation? Your royal family has a shit reputation! It has long been ruined by those second-generation rich kids.

But Zhou Yuan could only comfort her at this moment: "Don't worry."

He took Princess Bishui's hand and whispered, "Yunxian, go back and have a good rest. I will come to see you in a few days."

"Don't..."

Princess Bishui blushed and hurriedly said, "Don't call me like this, and don't come to see me. I'm afraid of you..."

She lowered her head and said in a mosquito-like voice: "Just treat today as a dream. Don't look for me again in the future."

Zhou Yuan took her out and winked at Guan Lu.

Guan Lu obviously understood, and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, please follow me, I will take you back to the mansion."

It was not until the two people left that Zhou Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.

He shouted: "Ziyuan, prepare water for me, I want to take a bath."

After a pleasant bath, the smell on his body was gone, and he was completely sober.

Zhou Yuan then went to the main hall to see Zhao Jianjia.

At this moment, Zhao Jianjia was sitting on a chair, dozing off slightly.

Zhou Yuan hurried over and whispered: "Tired?"

Zhao Jianjia forced a smile, but shook her head and said: "It's okay, I'm just a little busy today, but I finally got the banquet done, and I feel at ease."

Zhou Yuan also sighed, Jianjia's performance today was very good, just like the style of a housewife, and she was indeed completely different from the noble maid before.

He came behind Zhao Jianjia, gently massaged her shoulders, and said with a smile: "My wife, you have worked hard today."

Zhao Jianjia said quickly: "No, husband, it is not reasonable for a man to serve others. I will let Ziyuan massage you later."

Zhou Yuan smiled and said: "We are husband and wife, what's the big deal."

Zhao Jianjia was a little confused: "Sister Xiong said that when a husband suddenly treats his wife well, he often does something wrong."

Sister Xiong, why is she talking nonsense?

Zhou Yuan was shocked and said quickly: "No, I don't know.It's been a tiring day, let's take a break. "

Zhao Jianjia looked at Zhou Yuan deeply, nodded slightly, and smiled softly.

...

Early in the morning, Guan Lu came to the mansion, looking a little anxious.

"I don't know when the news spread, anyway, it's spreading in all the streets of Shenjing now."

He clenched his fists and looked very angry: "Sir, although we have the Dajin Times now, we can't prevent the other party from suddenly attacking."

Zhou Yuan's face was not good either, and he said in a deep voice: "What are the specific remarks?"

Guan Lu said: "They all say that Miss Xue is dissolute and seduced other people's husbands, and she should be thrown into the pig cage."

Zhou Yuan took a deep breath and sighed: "It's not your fault. I have been in Shenjing for more than half a year. I have risen too fast and have been in the limelight too much. The Zhejiang Party and the Chu Party will always fight back."

"It's just that they haven't found the right time at the moment, so they can only release the matter between me and Ningyue, slander Ningyue, and create pressure on me. "

"This is a counterattack and a warning."

Guan Lu said in a deep voice: "The news of Lin'an Prefecture has spread. Jinyiwei must have had a thief. Qiu Ying began to fear Xiong Kuohai."

Zhou Yuan nodded and waved his hand, saying: "You go and investigate this matter and see where the source of the rumor comes from. Since the other party has taken action, we can't help but fight back."

Guan Lu said: "But sir, it is difficult to find evidence for this kind of thing. Even if we find out who it is, we can't do anything!"

"No evidence is needed."

Zhou Yuan waved his hand and said: "Just find out who it is. I will do how to fight back myself."

"Yes, at most two or three days, your subordinates can find the mastermind behind the scenes."

Guan Lu responded and hurried out.

Zhou Yuan frowned. Ningyue's affairs with him were finally spread. Now she should be the one with the most pressure.

I have to go to Xue's house to see him and give Mrs. Xue a reassurance.
