Chapter 1559 Xu Lu: You can still be so meticulous... There is only one family!

Shenjing City, Qiu Shuang Zhai

Jia Heng sat down in the small hall, took a blue and white porcelain teacup, took a sip of the fragrant tea, and felt the fragrance of the tea flowing through his teeth and cheeks.

At this moment, the maid came to the high table and lit the candle. The light flickered, reflecting the calm and stern face of the young man in the python robe clearly.

After a while, Tanchun put on a newly changed lilac-colored dress. Her two heroic eyebrows showed a silent charm. Her fair jade-like face was blushed. Her posture was a little awkward when she walked.

Tanchun sat down, her eyes were already somewhat gentle and charming, her eyes sparkled under her beautiful eyebrows, and she said in a trembling voice, "Brother Heng."

Jia Heng raised his sword-like eyebrows, his eyes were as warm as the rising sun, he looked at Tanchun intently and said, "Third sister, let's eat."

At this moment, the waiter came in from outside, bringing dishes that were steaming hot and filled with fragrance.

Jia Heng picked up a pair of bamboo chopsticks, handed them over, and said in a gentle voice: "Sister, are you feeling better now?"

Tanchun turned her head to look at the young man in the python robe, with a hint of shyness in her eyes. She said "hmm" softly and said nothing else.

Jia Heng picked up a pair of bamboo chopsticks, picked up a lion's head and put it in the bowl in front of Tanchun.

Tanchun felt the thoughtfulness of the young man in the python robe. The girl's eyes were as bright as water under her heroic eyebrows, and she said softly, "Brother Heng."

Jia Heng smiled and said softly, "Third sister, I won't be here today. I'll come to see you tomorrow."

Jia Heng and Tanchun sat down and ate for a while. Without saying much, they left the room and went to the outer room.

Tanchun's cheeks, as white as snow, blushed as rosy clouds. She watched Jia Heng leave, feeling a little reluctant to let him go.

When a young girl becomes a wife for the first time, it is inevitable that she will feel a certain degree of dependence on her lover.

Ningguo Mansion, back house

One can see the bright lights, the shining pearls and the beautiful women with bright faces, whose pretty faces shine in people's eyes.

Qin Keqing sat down in front of a brocade screen in the living room with a small table. She had just finished her meal and was chatting with Youshi, You Erjie and You Sanjie.

The beautiful woman's graceful and gorgeous face, because of her pampered life, gradually exuded an indescribable air of a noble lady, which silently emanated from her.

Youshi, You Erjie and You Sanjie sat on a soft couch covered with a mattress. They were also dressed in gorgeous clothes, with bright and charming faces, and glittering jewels.

Fu'er and Mo'er were playing with red flower ropes together. Their fair and delicate faces looked like beauties at such a young age.

In the future, you will have an unrivaled beauty that will captivate everyone.

Qin Keqing ordered a maid and whispered, "Take the two princesses down to rest."

At this moment, a maid came in quickly from outside and said happily, "Princess, the prince is here."

Qin Keqing's expression paused, her eyes flickered, and she said in a gentle voice, "Why is your Highness here?"

As he was speaking, a tall figure was projected on the screen. It was Jia Heng.

Jia Heng smiled broadly and said, "Keqing."

Qin Keqing stared at the young man in the python robe and said softly, "My Lord, are you free today?"

Jia Heng's expression paused slightly, and he said loudly: "Come and see you."

At this moment, Jia Fu and Jia Mo called out to the young man in the python costume, "Daddy."

Jia Heng came forward and hugged Fu'er and Mo'er at once, with an inexplicable smile on his face, and said, "Let Daddy have a look."

Jia Fu called out softly, then moved closer to the boy in the python costume and kissed him on the cheek.

Jia Mo also kissed Jia Heng on the other cheek.

Jia Heng smiled and said, "These two children."

Qin Keqing looked at Jia Heng and his two daughters with a bright smile and said, "Your Highness, it seems to be getting late."

Jia Heng nodded and said, "It's getting late, let's go to bed early."

Qin Keqing responded, then called the nanny to carry the two maids to the inner room.

While Jia Heng was speaking, he took Qin Keqing's slender hand and, without saying anything more, walked towards the inner room.

At this moment, Third Sister You also pulled Second Sister You and You's hands.

Yu Shi's face turned red, and she immediately broke free from Yu Sanjie's hand and did not follow her. It was obvious that she was worried about Jia Heng's health.

Several people came to the inner room and sat on the bed covered by curtains. At this moment, the fragrance was rising from the bronze incense burner in the room, and the room was suddenly refreshed.

Jia Heng looked at Qin Keqing intently and called softly, "Keqing."

Qin Keqing's beautiful eyes sparkled like water under her green eyebrows. She called out, "Third sister, second sister, go and change the clothes for the prince."

Third Sister You came forward and undressed Jia Heng. Her pretty and charming face seemed to be blushed, and under the light, she looked even more beautiful and charming.

At this moment, Baozhu brought over a basin of hot water with steam rising from it, and with a blushing face, she helped several people wash their feet.

Jia Heng sat down on the soft couch covered with a mattress.

You Erjie came closer, squatted down and leaned forward with her curvaceous and graceful body, whispering, "My lord, I will wash your feet."

Third Sister You also sat down sideways at this moment, stretched out her slender white hands, and rubbed Jia Heng's shoulders. There was an inexplicable joy in her bright and moist eyes.

At this moment, Jia Heng turned his head to look at Qin Keqing who was standing beside him, and said softly, "Keqing, has everything been okay at home these days?"

Qin Keqing's beautiful eyes were as bright as water under her curved eyebrows. She said, "Everything is fine. My husband is doing well in the court."

Jia Heng nodded, his eyes warm, and said softly: "Everything is fine. There were some minor troubles before, but it's not a big deal."

On this side, You Erjie took a white towel and helped Jia Heng wipe the water off his feet.

Baozhu and Ruizhu also came forward and wiped Qin Keqing's feet.

Jia Heng helped Qin Keqing onto the embroidered couch and gently stroked the beautiful woman's shoulders.

At this moment, You Erjie and You Sanjie came forward, untied Jia Heng's robe, opened their mouths, and saw the fragrance of lilacs.

Jia Heng raised his sword-like eyebrows, lowered his eyes to look at the two faces as beautiful as clouds, and felt an inexplicable beating in his heart.

It was a summer night, and a cool breeze blew through the courtyard. The leafy sycamore trees rustled and their shadows could be seen swaying in the wind. On the lake surface under the rockery on the west side, a light breeze blew gently, creating ripples.

Until the second half of the night, Jia Heng looked at the three pictures of beauties who were more beautiful than flowers and sweating profusely, and his face seemed a little dazed.

To hold the power of the world when awake and to lie on the lap of a beauty when drunk, this is the dream of many men.

Now all the hairpins in the Red Mansion are in his sleeves, and he is just one step away from ruling the world and dominating the rise and fall of the vast earth.

And he didn't know how many difficulties and obstacles, rapids and dangerous shoals lay ahead, and he still had to overcome them.

Summer nights are short and there is no more conversation that night.

……

……

Time flies, and before we know it, Qu Lang sends out spies from the Imperial Guards to start collecting information about the corruption and scandals of some of the censors in the capital who had impeached Jia Heng.

In the government hall of the Censorate—

Xu Lu sat down on a pearwood chair behind a high table. His face was dignified and solemn, and his eyes were deep beneath his brows.

At this moment, a middle-aged man who looked like a secretary walked into the official hall from outside the corridor and bowed to Xu Lu and said, "Master Zongxian, early in the morning, someone delivered a large amount of evidence to the golden box outside the door."

Xu Lu raised his head from the desk, his dignified face full of surprise, and asked, "Where is the evidence document?"

The middle-aged clerk responded and told the people outside to bring it over.

Not long after, four officers entered the hall carrying two boxes. This naturally made Xu Lu look extremely surprised.

"So many?" Xu Lu frowned and muttered, and then he instructed the waiting servant nearby, "Open it and take a look."

Several officers approached and opened the box, only to find a pile of evidence and documents inside.

Xu Lu said in a deep voice: "Bring it here and let me have a look."

After a while, several clerks were seen handing piles of evidence documents to the table.

Xu Lu reached out and flipped through the evidence document. As he read it intently, his brows furrowed further and further, because the document clearly stated some of the crimes of Shu Wenqing, the censor of Zhejiang Province in the Censorate.

These include evidence of corruption and bribery.

"This is a manuscript." Xu Lu looked at the handwriting on it and thought in his mind.

Xu Lu frowned, picked up a new memorial of evidence, and read it carefully again.

The memorials still recorded the lawless acts committed by the relatives of the Censors of the Censorate.

Xu Lu picked up the documents one after another and read them for a while. His brows furrowed deeper and deeper, and a hint of coldness appeared in his eyes.

At this moment, Zhang Zhi, the Right Deputy Censor of the Censorate, also heard the noise in the government hall. He walked over quickly, looked at Xu Lu intently, and asked, "General Censor, what happened?"

"Look, there are really hidden dragons and crouching tigers in my Censorate." Xu Lu's face was as gloomy as iron and he shouted coldly.

At this moment, Zhang Zhi also took a copy of the evidence document and began to flip through it. As the pages were turning, a hint of gloom surged on his resolute and majestic face.

"General, this matter has to be investigated." Zhang Zhi frowned and spoke sternly.

Xu Lu's eyes flashed with wisdom, and he said, "The people involved in the case must be investigated and impeached, but who on earth delivered so many incriminating documents to the gate of the Censorate?"

There is an air of conspiracy in this.

When Zhang Zhi heard this, a look of deep thought also appeared on his face.

Xu Lu whispered, "There is only one government office in the capital that has the power to investigate so many censors, and that is able to investigate every detail."

Zhang Zhi raised his eyes to look at Xu Lu, his resolute and dignified face showing traces of worry, and asked: "What does the General Secretary mean?"

Xu Lu raised his eyebrows, his eyes flickered, and he said in a deep voice: "No matter which government office it is, send someone to detain the censor involved in the case and interrogate him based on the evidence and documents."

When Zhang Zhi heard this, his eyes flashed and he nodded, with a vague understanding deep in his heart.

Most likely, it was the Jinyiwei under the command of Prince Wei that started the counterattack.

On the other side, in the Jinyifu government hall, the back hall of the official hall, and the study room -

Qu Lang put down the teacup in his hand, looked up at Liu Jixian standing opposite him, and asked, "Did you send someone to deliver the evidence?"

Liu Jixian's face was grim, and he said in a deep voice, "It has been delivered. Two large boxes, involving more than 40 censors from the Metropolitan Censorate. The evidence documents list the causes and consequences, and go into great detail."

The Jinyifu detectives were omnipresent in the streets and alleys of the capital, and they investigated the matter with all their might. It didn't take long for them to collect all the evidence related to the crime of the Censor of the Metropolitan Censorate.

Qu Lang raised his eyebrows, his eyes were full of burning intent, and said: "Xu Lu has always been upright and honest, and he will definitely punish these people."

Liu Jixian frowned and said, "With so many of them at once, will General Xu suspect my Jinyi Mansion?"

Qu Lang paused, his eyes flickered, and he said in a deep voice: "Even if I suspect you, what can I do? The censors have been attacking the prince, and yet you don't allow me, the Jinyifu, to investigate and strictly investigate those censors?"

Liu Jixian nodded and said loudly: "That's right, Commander."

Qu Lang frowned and said in a deep voice: "Send someone to report to the prince, and tell him that the Ministry of Science and Technology should be able to calm down for a while."

Liu Jixian looked stern and nodded in response.

Qu Lang raised his eyebrows, his eyes flickered, and he was thinking about his next move.

Ningguo Mansion, Grand View Garden, Daoxiang Village

It was almost noon, the summer cicadas were chirping in the woods, and the heat was rising.

Li Wan was wearing a plain dress with wide sleeves, lying quietly in the quilt on the bed, with her lush hair spread out. When she turned her gentle and lovely face, she glanced at the pair of twins lying beside her.

Cao entered the room and looked at Li Wan who was lying on the bed. She smiled and said, "I cooked this white fungus and lotus seed soup myself. Try it."

Upon hearing this, Li Wan turned away. Her face was plump and lovely, and her eyes were as bright as water.

At this moment, Suyun came over from the side and helped Li Wan up.

While Cao was speaking, she came closer, holding a bowl of Tremella fuciformis and lotus seed soup.

Li Wan lowered her eyes, picked up a silver spoon, took a sip of the Tremella and Lotus Seed Soup, and an inexplicable joy appeared on her fair and bright face.

At this moment, Bi Yue entered the hall and said with an excited voice, "Grandma, the prince is here."

Li Wan was holding a spoon and eating Tremella and lotus seed soup at this moment. Upon hearing this, her bright and pretty face was full of joy, her beautiful eyes were sparkling, and her eyes were full of expectation.

Jia Heng raised his eyebrows, stared at Li Wan, paused, smiled and said, "Wan'er, I'm drinking porridge now."

Li Wan responded softly, her beautiful eyes sparkling and soft as she called out, "Brother Heng, you are here."

Jia Heng looked at Li Wan with warm eyes and said with a smile: "Wan'er, come and see you and the child."

As she was speaking, she came closer, walked quickly over, and sat down on an embroidered cushion.

At this moment, Cao poured a cup of tea for Jia Heng with a smile on her face.

Jia Heng nodded and said, "Thank you, mother-in-law."

Cao couldn't help but feel overjoyed. It could be said that Jia Heng's address of "Mother-in-law" completely comforted her.

Jia Heng looked calm, and as he gazed at Li Wan, whose face had become rounder and plumper, he said softly, "Wan'er, I'm here to see the child."

As he spoke, he sat down and looked at the pair of little ones who were stretching out their soft, chubby little hands.

The two little guys were as delicate as jade, with black eyes that rolled around, looking lively and clear.

Jia Heng reached out and held the soft hands of the little ones, feeling waves of tenderness touching his fingertips.

Bba bah bah bah...

The two little guys kept screaming.

Jia Heng came closer, looked intently at the two little guys, held those two soft little hands, and felt a sense of blood connection as their skin touched.

Li Wan's eyebrows were curved like a crescent moon, and she looked at the interaction between the father and his two sons with a smile, and her heart was filled with happiness and sweetness.

Now that she has Zi Yu's child, she will have someone to rely on for the rest of her life.

Jia Heng teased his two children, then turned to look at Li Wan and asked, "How are you doing recently?"

Li Wan's eyebrows were curved, her eyes were as bright as water, and she whispered, "Zi Yu, it's fine, nothing else."

Jia Heng said in a gentle voice: "Take good care of yourself. You gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl, which took a lot of toll on your body. You should rest well."

Li Wan said "hmm" softly, looked at the young man in the python costume with a clear gaze, and said, "Zi Yu, I will."

At this moment, Cao had already left the wing room, and for a moment, only Jia Heng, Li Wan and their mother and son were left in the wing room.

Jia Heng held Li Wan's delicate hand, looked up, met her peaceful and gentle eyes, and said, "Wan'er, thank you for your hard work during this period."

Li Wan's soft and bright face showed a faint smile, and she whispered, "It's not that hard."

She was happy to have a child for her beloved.

Jia Heng reached out and gently embraced Li Wan's snow-white shoulders, enjoying the moment's tenderness.
