Chapter 81
All the way to speed up and reach the destination, it is already night.
There is no moon, no stars, it's pitch black, and you can't see your fingers.
Bai Yulin pulled Shen Xuehua off the horse.
"Xue Hua, you have to open your eyes and take a good look." Bai Yulin pretended to be mysterious.
"But I can't see anything."
"See you soon."
When the fireworks exploded in the silent night sky, Shen Xuehua really opened her eyes wide.Fireworks of various colors, red, yellow, green, blue, and purple, criss-crossed in the air, illuminating the night sky and Bai Yulin's smiling face in an instant.
Shen Xuehua had never seen fireworks blooming so closely, and the excitement in her heart could not be described in words.
"Xue Hua, happy birthday."
Bai Yulin looked up at the fireworks blooming in the night sky with his hands behind his back, and said softly.
Shen Xuehua was stunned for a long while, and hurriedly knelt down to thank her.
"Xue Hua, what do you want? Tell me." Bai Yulin supported him.
"His Majesty……"
"Don't be shy, just tell me what you want."
"I want to fight on the battlefield with my father."
When Bai Yulin heard this, the smile immediately froze on his face.
"Apart from this, what else do you want?"
"No more, I just want to fight with my father..."
"Shut up!" Bai Yulin was impatient, flicked his sleeves, turned around and got on the horse, and said coldly, "Don't mention this to me in the future."
After finishing speaking, he whipped down and immediately rode away in the dust. Behind him were the blooming fireworks and Shen Xuehua with a dazed expression.
Shen Xuehua didn't understand, he just said casually, why did the king get so angry?
Bai Yulin returned the same way, but met the guards chasing him on the way, and ordered them to bring Shen Xuehua back.
When he returned to Chonghua Palace, he realized that the palace had already exploded.
The king is missing.
Seeing him come back, his personal eunuch Fuxi hurriedly notified the Habayashi Army who was ready to go looking for him to withdraw.
Bai Yulin sat in front of the desk after having eaten the imperial meal, randomly took a copy from the mountain of memorials, opened it, and looked at it, all of which were about the impeachment of the general Shen Wei and the general's son Shen Xuehua.
He dropped the memorial in his hand and opened another, still the same.
He sighed, stood up, and walked slowly to the window.
Pushing open the carved windows, there is a cool breeze, and the palace lanterns under the eaves outside the windows sway in the breeze.
About Shen Xuehua taking bribes and enclosing people's land by relying on his father's power, this is not the first time he has received such a memorial, he has already heard about it half a year ago.
He just deliberately asked Shen Xuehua what she wanted?If Shen Xuehua wanted money, he would immediately order someone to bring him more than a dozen boxes, but he didn't want anything, and he only wanted to go to the battlefield to fight.
He specially went to the General's Mansion today, but he didn't see anything special. He really couldn't figure out why Shen Xuehua accepted bribes and occupied people's land for what?
If this is placed on other ministers, he must investigate carefully, and once verified, he will immediately confiscate his family wealth and demote him into exile.But the target is Shen Wei, Shen Wei's son Shen Xuehua, he can't do anything but watch Shen Xuehua make mistakes again and again.
Shen Xuehua hurried back to the mansion, it was already midnight, she went back to her bedroom, restless, what the king did today made him suspicious.
The king intentionally approached him half a year ago, and specially came to the mansion to visit his father, deliberately getting acquainted with him.
Today, I took him to watch fireworks so far away, and asked him what he wanted?It was clearly testing him. If he let go and said he wanted money, wouldn't that mean that he accepted bribes?
The servants brought the food, he took a few mouthfuls casually, thought about it, and then ordered his confidant Zhao Xin to transfer the bribes he received overnight, and temporarily return the occupied land.
His father didn't know about this matter, nor did his mother, so he had to act cautiously.
In the middle of the night, he still couldn't sleep, lying on the bed tossing and turning, the bedroom door suddenly rang.
"Who?"
"Yutong," a clear and pleasant voice came from outside the door.
He got up and opened the door, and Yutong walked in gracefully in the night wind.
Yutong is his father's new concubine, the same age as him, also 25 years old.
He closed the door, raised his hand to support the wall, pushed Yutong against the wall, and said with a smile: "What is my aunt doing in my room in the middle of the night?"
"Come and see you, can't you?" Yutong said, with both hands on the bend of his neck.
"Are you not afraid that my father will find out?"
"Your father didn't come back tonight, what are you afraid of?"
"Oh?" Shen Xuehua pulled away Yutong's arm and stood up straight, turned around and walked to the table, "When will the box of silver that Wang Ma promised to give you arrive?"
Yutong came over, wrapped his arms around his waist from behind, and said in a coquettish voice, "What are you in a hurry for? I'll send it to you the day after tomorrow. Don't worry about my work?"
Shen Xuehua nodded and let her hold her.
Yutong was another new channel for him to obtain money. He knew that Yutong married his father only for money.
Since Yutong entered the mansion, he revealed that he liked him openly and secretly, so he simply used his tricks and was ambiguous with her. Although he hadn't done anything practical with her, he still left her with infinite hope.
"I heard that Li Yuanwai wants to betroth his daughter to you?" Yu Tong let go of his waist, turned his body, blinked her big eyes, and her voice was full of jealousy.
"It's hard for me to disobey the orders of my parents." Shen Xuehua said with a half-smile, "Even if I get married, I won't neglect you."
As soon as he finished speaking, his mother's voice suddenly came from outside the door.
"Huaer..."
