On our wedding night, my wife acted strangely.

The two tiptoed out of the courtyard, avoiding the imperial guards, and headed towards the Imperial Garden.

On the other side, at the General's residence.

The General Administration Office was also called the Central Chariot Office; it was just a different name.

After Nangong Xiong took office, he valued Sun Fu highly, appointed him as the Chief of the Imperial Carriage Office, and granted him a separate residence.

So sons like Gouzi prefer to call the General Manager's Mansion the Central Chariot Mansion, but people in the past were used to calling it the General Manager's Mansion.

This is not important.

At this moment, Luo Hongtu and Sun Fu sat facing each other, drinking tea cup after cup.

Luo Hongtu was quite happy today because, through their previous conversation, he vaguely sensed that Sun Fu valued him highly and seemed inclined to recommend him to His Majesty again.

"I am deeply grateful for your planning, Father-in-law."

Sun Fu waved his hand: "Hehehe, Lord Luo, you flatter us. As His Majesty's subjects, we naturally have to share His Majesty's burdens. This old servant just doesn't want to waste a gem like Lord Luo."

"Steward Sun, you are too kind. If you need anything in the future, I, Luo, will do my best to help you."

"Hmm." Sun Fu nodded, but actually looked down on Luo Hongtu.

Despite his insufficient cultivation, he insisted on imitating others by playing the ghost story, offering his daughter to Lin Yi in an attempt to control the Regent's Palace.

Ha, how ridiculous.

Who is Lin Yi?

You're not someone who can fool a fool like you.

Sun Fu secretly grumbled to himself.

Seeing that it was almost time, a young eunuch came in from outside the door and bowed to him.

"Godfather, His Majesty summons you."

"Hmm." Sun Fu stood up and said to Luo Hongtu, "Lord Luo, please calm down. This old servant will try to persuade His Majesty. If nothing unexpected happens, we will arrange for someone to summon you to the capital for a summons."

Luo Hongtu dared not presume, and immediately stood up: "Oh, thank you very much, Steward Sun!"

Please have a seat.

Sun Fu smiled and gestured for him to continue drinking his tea before leaving.

.......

The Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Nangong Xiong sat on the dragon throne, holding a memorial in his hand, and seemed to be in a good mood.

During the day, Liu Wentao sent someone to deliver a message saying that the people on the street were all cursing Lin Yi, and that Lin Yi's reputation was now completely ruined.

Upon hearing this, Nangong Xiong happily ate an extra egg.

"Sun Fu, look at Lin Yi, he really brought this upon himself. He even laid a hand on his own mother-in-law. How can the world tolerate such a beast! Hahahaha." Nangong Xiong threw the memorial on the table and laughed loudly.

Sun Fu stepped forward, his face beaming with smiles.

"Your Majesty is wise! This is all thanks to Your Majesty's boundless blessings; even Heaven is on Your Majesty's side. Once the 200,000 troops arrive, Lin Yi will be nothing but a rat crossing the street, hated by everyone. At that time, Your Majesty can send any general to raze the Regent's Palace to the ground."

Nangong Xiong listened with great satisfaction and stroked his beard.

"Hmm, not bad. I've tolerated him for so long, and finally I see him suffer. Tonight, I must celebrate properly." Nangong Xiong stood up and stretched.

Seizing the opportunity, Sun Fu quickly asked, "How would Your Majesty like to celebrate? This servant will arrange it immediately. Oh, right, the Imperial Household Department just delivered some game today. How about this servant has the Imperial Kitchen roast some quail for Your Majesty, and also prepare a venison hot pot?"

Nangong Xiong's eyes lit up when he heard there was meat to eat.

"Alright! We'll do as you say. Add more dogwood; I want something spicy to satisfy my craving!"

"Yes." Sun Fu accepted the order and turned to arrange dinner.

Half an hour later, a sumptuous dinner was laid out on the imperial table.

The golden-brown roasted quail and the bubbling venison hot pot smelled wonderful.

Nangong Xiong's appetite was whetted. He picked up a piece of venison and put it in his mouth. It was so hot that he was panting, but he still chewed it in big mouthfuls.

Mmm! Delicious!

Seeing that he was happy, Sun Fu was also pleased and even placed the wine cup next to Nangong Xiong's hand.

"Your Majesty, this is your favorite Tiger Wine. I only found out a couple of days ago that there was only one jar left in the Imperial Kitchen, so I brought it all to you. Please have a couple of cups to relax."

"Hmm." Nangong Xiong didn't believe in elixirs or Chinese medicine; he usually just liked to soak some wine in it and drink it.

During this period, Lin Yi cut off the palace's supplies, and all the tiger penises, ginseng, and other such items went to the Regent's Palace, leaving no materials to brew Tiger Wine.

Nangong Xiong picked up the wine, closed his eyes, and took a sip of the aroma with relish: "Mmm! This is the taste, hahahaha."

After laughing, he tilted his head back and drank the wine in one gulp.

During this meal, Nangong Xiong ate three quails and finished half a pot of venison, his stomach was so full it was round.

Finally, he leaned back in his chair, let out a satisfied burp, and looked completely content.

"Hmm, Sun Fu, this venison hot pot is quite good. Reward the Imperial Kitchen."

"This servant thanks Your Majesty for the imperial kitchen's generous gift."

Sun Fu quickly kowtowed to express his gratitude.

Looking at the empty plates on the table, Nangong Xiong felt a great deal of relief from the oppression he had felt from Lin Yi, and he felt that his imperial power had returned.

All that's left is to wait for Lin Yi to die.

With his death, the Great Zhou Dynasty will once again belong to me.

Thinking of this, he pointed to the wine glass: "Sun Fu, pour me another glass."

Sun Fu quickly stepped forward, picked up the wine pot, and filled Nangong Xiong's cup.

"Your Majesty, this Tiger Wine is good, but it's very potent. You mustn't overindulge," Sun Fu said, feigning concern.

Nangong Xiong waved his hand: "Hey, I'm in my prime, what's a little wine to me? Besides, I'm in a good mood today, so it won't hurt to drink a few more cups."

After saying that, Nangong Xiong downed another glass of wine.

After drinking several cups of Tiger Wine, Nangong Xiong began to feel a fever.

The heat rose from my stomach and slowly spread throughout my body, as if every pore was opening up.

"Hmm, Tiger Wine is still the most comfortable to drink, it gives me energy all over." Nangong Xiong tugged at his collar, feeling a bit stuffy.

Sun Fu observed Nangong Xiong's reaction from the side and knew that the medicine was beginning to take effect.

"Your Majesty is in good health, this Tiger Wine is merely the icing on the cake. If Your Majesty feels hot, may I open the window to let in some fresh air?" Sun Fu asked tentatively.

Nangong Xiong shook his head: "No need, this warmth is to replenish my energy; it would be a waste if it escaped. I just feel... I feel warm inside..."

After saying that, he stood up and walked around the room twice.

But the fire in my lower abdomen burned brighter and brighter, and I gradually lost control of it.

It should be noted that he usually strictly adhered to the royal rules and was determined to be a good emperor. Although he was lustful, he was not greedy and only wanted to produce imperial offspring.

Especially recently, due to Lin Yi's suppression, I've been living in fear every day and have long lost any interest in that kind of thing.

But today's fire came on rather fiercely... and it's a bit strange...

"Sun Fu, what's wrong with me? Why do I feel like my blood and qi are churning violently?" Nangong Xiong stopped in his tracks, his breathing becoming somewhat labored.

Sun Fu quickly stepped forward and supported his arm.

"Your Majesty, this old servant sees that you look rosy and healthy, and don't seem to have any problems. Is it because you've been eating vegetarian food and abstaining from worldly desires for the past few days, and today you suddenly ate highly nourishing venison and drank Tiger Wine, and your body can't handle it?"

Nangong Xiong thought it made a lot of sense.

To put it bluntly, it's all Lin Yi's fault. Otherwise, how could I have gotten all worked up after just a little bit of Tiger Wine?

"In that case, I should rest early, otherwise I will miss tomorrow's morning court session." Nangong Xiong's eyes became somewhat unfocused, and the image of his concubine began to appear in his mind.

Sun Fu knew where His Majesty wanted to go, but still pretended to ask, "Which concubine would Your Majesty like to rest at? This servant will arrange a palanquin immediately."

Nangong Xiong thought for a moment.

Zhao Shuyu and Consort Hui were both crying because of the prince's affairs, and he couldn't muster any interest in the other old concubines.

So he said, "Let's go to Consort Sun's place."

This Lady Sun was a palace maid selected by Lin Yi before he launched his attack. She was pretty and obedient.

Nangong Xiong has been there a few times and has a good impression of it.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I will go and fetch the palanquin immediately." Sun Fu turned to leave.

"Wait!"

"Does Your Majesty have any further instructions?"

Nangong Xiong waved his hand: "No need to call the palanquin, let's walk. I'm feeling hot all over right now, this is a good way to cool down."

Sun Fu thought to himself, "That's exactly what I wanted."

If she were to ride in a palanquin, it would be difficult for Lady Li to get close to her.

If you walk there, you might just bump into them by the rockery.

"Your servant obeys the decree." Sun Fu accepted the order and then quickly instructed several eunuchs to bring lanterns.

Nangong Xiong straightened his clothes and strode out of the imperial study.

The night breeze brought a touch of coolness to his face, but the fire within Nangong Xiong burned ever brighter, making his steps unsteady as his mind was filled with thoughts of women.

Sun Fu walked beside him carrying a lantern, and the group passed through the corridor and entered the Imperial Garden.

The Imperial Garden was quiet at night, with only the chirping of insects and the rustling of leaves in the wind.

The lanterns in the eunuchs' hands emitted a dim yellow light, illuminating the bluestone path beneath their feet.

Nangong Xiong walked in the middle, his breathing becoming more and more rapid, as if he could no longer bear it.

"Hurry up, I can't wait any longer."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Having said that, Sun Fu shouted to the people in front of him, "Speed ​​up!"

At the corner of the artificial hill.

Li hid in the shadows, her palms sweating with nervousness.

Just then, a series of chaotic footsteps approached, and the dog quickly patted her shoulder and gave her a wink.

Li took a deep breath and gritted her teeth.

He thought to himself, "It all comes down to this!"

Luo Hongtu, you wronged me first! Don't blame me for cheating on you.

After figuring it out, she suddenly rushed out of the shadows, pretending to be panicked, and crashed straight into Nangong Xiong.

boom!

"oops!"

Li cried out softly.
