The husband I snatched halfway through his life is strange.

Chapter 500 Deer Blood Wine: Tonifying the Kidneys and Enhancing Male Virility

The palace road was long, and Gu Fuju walked without stopping, speaking in a calm and unhurried tone.

"Perhaps you've already found someone suitable, sir?"

They simply threw the question back at them.

Yes, I have.

Of course, it's the Fifth Prince.

A loud bang came from inside the hall behind us.

Many officials turned around and looked at each other in bewilderment.

This……

Whom did His Majesty take his anger out on?
But there was no further movement inside the hall for a long time.

Gu Fuju did not turn around and continued straight ahead.

Who else could it be?

Ying Zhi met with Liang Rui in private, but concealed his whereabouts.

Liang Rui turned around and led his troops to attack.

How could Emperor Yingqian not suspect that Ying Zhi was involved in the scheme?

As for who to send...

It can only be Ying Yin.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

After leaving the palace, Ying Yin, with a cold face and emanating a chilling aura, went straight to the Jia residence.

As soon as he got off the carriage, he saw Ying Fuyan standing at the door to greet him.

When he arrived, they bowed respectfully and gestured for him to come in.

Ying Yin strode inside.

"I suppose you've heard the news too."

Ying Fuyan was helped forward, but it wasn't too strenuous.

"Yes."

"Since His Majesty has ordered you to go, and you cannot refuse, you might as well go openly and generously."

Ying Yin abruptly stopped, the gloom in his eyes impossible to conceal.

How do I get there?

"When the people asked me to go to the disaster relief effort, Ying Zhi was involved in it, and he wanted to get rid of me!"

"This time, I'm afraid he's also involved."

"How could you not know that once I leave, he will inevitably use the pretext of internal and external troubles to directly attack the palace?"

He harbored deep resentment.

"My father knew he was dishonest, yet he still sent me away!"

Ying Fuyan: ...

Your hands and feet are dirty too.

Why are you still not convinced?
"Master, calm down."

Ying Fuyan: "How could His Majesty not see the Second Prince's ambition? He must be quite wary of him."

Otherwise, they wouldn't have smashed Ying Zhi's head so badly that it bled profusely.

"They must have a backup plan. Besides..."

"The Second Prince's forces are not as powerful as yours. Over the years, His Majesty has been trying to balance the two forces and prevent either from gaining prominence."

"Sending you there suggests that His Majesty is more wary of you than the Second Prince."

Ying Fuyan said unhurriedly, "In my opinion, this is a good thing."

He poured tea for Ying Yin.

"His Majesty's health is not exactly good, but he has many capable people protecting him, and the Second Prince is the one who took the lead. Wouldn't it be better if you could take advantage of this?"

"When His Majesty is no longer able to serve, the Second Prince will be charged with treason, and Your Majesty will be able to rightfully take the throne."

"As for the border..."

Ying Fuyan smiled and said, "Even if those three soldiers don't get along, they have already secretly pledged allegiance to their master."

"You should first pretend to leave the capital, and then take advantage of the situation to do your thing. Since Chi Yu is in the disaster area, there is no need for us to meet up and travel together."

"If anything happens in the capital, your return to the city will be a lifesaver."

Ying Fuyan knew all too well that these people with the surname Ying were selfish individuals.

Nothing carries more weight than sitting on the dragon throne, even if the border is dangerous.

Did Ying Yin come here to ask him for advice?

How could he not have made up his mind?

They simply wanted Ying Fuyan to bring it up.

Ying Yin: "This..."

He pretended to hesitate.

"The people on the border are suffering, and I, as the heir to the throne..."

Ying Fuyan: ...

What a rotten beast.

"The three soldiers on the border will obey Chi Yu and fight hard to resist the foreign enemy."

Ying Fuyan advised, "Master, you must prioritize the greater good!"

Ying Yin closed his eyes.

It felt like making a very difficult decision.

"you……"

"What you said is absolutely true."

After lunch, Ying Yin packed his bags and led a martial arts team out of the capital.

As soon as he left, Emperor Yingqian did not hesitate to torture Ying Zhi, and then, under the pretext of recuperating from his injuries, imprisoned Ying Zhi in the palace. The palace security became even tighter.

Not only in the palace, but also throughout the capital, the Imperial Guards could be seen.

-

Wei Zhao didn't sleep for long after returning from the night, and went out again after waking up.

By the time we got back, it was long past mealtime.

The two haven't moved back to Lan Garden yet, and Wei Zhao hasn't mentioned moving either.

The main campus has the most staff and is the safest.

Yu Tingwan served him soup and took it to him.

"Just torture?"

Wei Zhao ate quickly: "He doesn't need to do much."

"The dog emperor is old after all, and he's not senile. Most of the officials sent to the disaster area are Ying Zhi and Ying Yin's men."

Most of the people who supported Emperor Qian and the officials who remained neutral stayed in Shangjing.

Even so, one unexpected thing after another happened, and he was already in a passive position.

"His Majesty would not dare to let Ying Zhi die."

After death, who will restrain Ying Yin?

Should we agree?
Yu Tingwan: "Then... how is Ying Zhi?"

"He dared to do this because he must have calculated that the dog emperor would be furious."

Wei Zhao revealed: "The shadowy figure who carried out the execution was one of his men."

Yu Tingwan suddenly looked up.

"Dark Shadow?"

"Isn't the shadow only protecting the emperor?"

Wei Zhao: "That was before."

"The shadowy figures are divided into two factions: one faction adheres to the old rules and only protects the emperor, while the other faction has secretly become his blade since the late emperor ascended the throne."

Yu Tingwan: "Ying Zhi is quite capable; he managed to bribe the Shadow."

"Understand."

"After all, he was lame, so not many officials in the court came to him. They all came when they were healthy. Ying Zhi had something on them, so these people had no choice but to continue to be loyal."

"He couldn't find any other officials to serve him, so he set his sights on the palace."

"The injuries on his body look serious, but they haven't actually damaged his internal organs."

Yu Tingwan understood.

Now we're just waiting for Ying Zhi to make his move.

The shadowy figure has his men, making him the easiest target.

She stopped asking about what was happening outside.

Seeing that Wei Zhao had drunk the soup, Yu Tingwan did not hesitate to scoop him another bowl.

Wei Zhao did not like soup or watery foods.

But Yu Tingwan delivered it right under her nose.

Wei Zhao couldn't refuse.

Seeing that he had drunk too much, Yu Tingwan eagerly offered him a third bowl.

Wei Zhao hesitated.

Yu Tingwan said gently, "I specifically instructed the kitchen to stew it. I killed the old duck inside and plucked its feathers myself."

Indeed, there is old duck, mutton, and oysters to enhance the flavor.

"Why would you need to use such vulgar language?"

Yu Tingwan: "I'm willing to go to great lengths for you."

Could Wei Zhao refuse?

He then drank two more bowls, but he really couldn't drink anymore.

"Drink it later."

Although he has been very busy lately, he is in good health and doesn't need to eat too much nourishing food, as it would easily cause him to get a sore throat.

However, Wei Zhao was very satisfied and enjoyed the girl's consideration for him.

Yu Tingwan's eyes curved into crescents.

"Ah."

"I've also prepared a jar of wine. My husband can have a few sips later."

Wei Zhao: "Okay."

Wei Zhao's eyes couldn't hide his tenderness.

"Is it the cherry blossom wine from your aunt's place?"

"No."

Yu Tingwan told him.

"It's deer blood wine!"

Wei Zhao understood.

He put down the dishes.

"A cup of deer blood wine is equivalent to half a year's worth of food in the slums. It has the effects of keeping warm, strengthening the body, nourishing blood, and removing blood stasis. Even the women from aristocratic families often take it out and drink a few sips."

"But what you don't know is that this thing can also nourish the kidneys and enhance male virility..."

He couldn't handle it.

The words haven't been spoken yet.

Then Yu Tingwan said in a serious tone, her voice clear and crisp, "I know."

She recklessly added to the story.

"This is especially for you to drink."
