 \n<h1>After Marrying the Empress</h1>\nChapter 8
Â
When Li Yun got up and walked into the yard, he noticed Li Xue hanging down on the wall in an inappropriate posture. He had questioned how she came in the morning, but this appears to be the answer.
Â
Is she truly a lady? Li Yun thought he had learned something new.
Â
With a sad expression on her face, she deftly fell off the wall, patted her clothes, and worriedly said: âMr Landlord, the emperor recently dispatched family members to check on the rebels in the capital. I believe I am in a very dangerous situation.â
Â
âI donât think theyâll be able to catch you easily with your wisdom.â Li Yun stated solemnly.
Â
âIndeed.â Li Xue said seriously as she snapped his fingers.
Â
Li Yun requested that she wash her face with clean water. He also realized that Li Xue was a little girl who acted with no plan these days.
Â
âHmmâŠâ Li Xue snorted as he looked at Li Yunâs clothes.
Â
âDoes Mr Landlordâs house have a lot of money?â she wondered.
Â
âNo, I was the only one in my family before I met my wife, and my money was given to her. Iâm usually penniless.â âWhatâs wrong?â Li Yun asked as he handed Li Xue a cup of tea.
Â
Li Xue examined Li Yunâs clothes. As a former eldest lady, she could see that the clothing was of high quality. At the very least, it was impossible to buy locally, and only imperial goods could be compared, or was it imperial goods? This type of fabric is worth at least thousands of taels.
Â
Even the former lady could smell the scent of wealthy merchants coming off Li Yun.
Â
âWhatâs the matter with the clothes? They are sewn for me by my wife. She enjoys sewing clothes for me. Itâs probably less expensive, but itâs more comfortable to wear.â Li Yun stated.
Â
I can still be comfortable even if I am wearing thousands of taels on my body. Li Xue took a sip of tea, and her stomach grew a little warmer because she had been hungry the night before.
Â
It is estimated that a yearâs worth of work will buy him a corner. She considers.
Â
âAh, almost forgot to inform you of the real matter. Mr Landlord, it appears that the capital has recently found a rebel stronghold,â Li Xue said solemnly after swallowing the tea. âIt is preferable to go out less frequently.â
Â
âThe rebels are too far away for ordinary citizens like you, but for people like me who are determined to join, it is ideal. Only last night, the emperor dispatched members of the family to track down the rebelsâ strongholds, led by a surnamed Yun family child.â
Â
Li Xue said meaningfully, but in a vicissitudes-like tone, that she hadnât found a doorway to join.
Â
âItâs ⊠well.â Li Yun was taken aback and took a sip of tea.
Â
Li Yun has no recollection of any strongholds in the capital. This is Daganâs heart. Even if he comes close, he thought he would be beaten to dust. Even Li Yun had to go through a lot of trouble to get to the capital. Let alone, other people.
Â
So itâs most likely just a false message.
Â
Li Xue was thoughtful after Li Yun said briefly, âWhy are you so familiar?â
Â
ââŠâŠâ
Â
Li Yun thought for a long time before saying, âBecause I adore Dagan too much.â
Â
Donât ask who was the man who nearly brought the army down; it wasnât me.
Â
âItâs a shame because if itâs true, itâs most likely the one.â Li Xue was a little letdown.
Â
âWhy?â
Â
âIt is said that that person who despised Dagan so much that he descended from the heavens to oppose DaganâŠâ Her eyes were twinkling.
Â
âHe fell from the skies, broke one of his legs, and had to rest for a half-year period.â Li Yun stated.
Â
âMr Landlord, while I appreciate you extending the rent to me, you canât insult him this much.â Angrily, Li Xue patted the table. âIn the South, he has a good reputation.â
Â
âAnyway, Iâm going back today to see if there really is that stronghold just over East Street.â She tripped over the fence after finishing her tea.
Â
Li Yun looked at the teacup that was emptied even with the tea leaves, wishing she could concentrate more on her life.
Â
âIt makes no difference even if you go and look.â
Â
Li Yun and Zhou Ruoli left East Street in the afternoon to investigate. To be honest, Li Yun didnât expect it to be that bad because that is where the prostitute houses are located, also known as the red light district and the brothel. Of course, there are more nicknames given to that district.
Â
Li Yun noticed a group of people from a family who appeared to be anti-prostitutes in front of the brothel.
Â
âDo you believe there will be results?â Zhou Ruoli, who was standing next to him, inquired.
Â
âIt ought not to be possible. It is not easy to enter the capital.â Li Yun reasoned. âAlthough it is possible to bring in some, they are not high-level personnel, and it is pointless to look for them,â
Â
âBut, didnât some people in the lower ranks see that personâs face right away? As long as he was present and the person caught did something wrong, the case may be judged. He is currently in the capital.â Zhou Ruoli said.
Â
âExcellent judgment is sufficient to be the emperor of a country.â Zhou Ruoli ignored him and continued to watch as Li Yun praised her with a thumbs up.
Â
To be honest, even the people present, let alone Li Yun, cannot guarantee that there are rebels present.
Â
Yun Yi was the family leader who took the initiative. It was the first time he attempted to arrest someone from the prostitute house and he was clearly inexperienced. When he saw Li Yun, he paused, remembering the shocking look from the day before, and nodded.
Â
The other partyâs clothes are better than his, and no one believes he is a dullard.
Â
Li Yun had no idea why the other party desired to say hello to him and simply slightly nodded his head.
Â
âI got it.â The surrounding people opened their eyes, not wanting to see the rebels, but the girls in the brothel when they heard a voice from the brothel.
Â
However, only one man was apprehended, dressed in thick clothes and sporting a large beard on his face despite his youth.
Â
He walked through the crowd, sweeping Li Yunâs slightly surprised face, with no fear on his face, but with slight indifference.
Â
âAh, thisâŠâ
Â
His expression was surprised, but he quickly recovered.
Â
Yun Yi noticed the change in his expression and walked over to the arrested beard and asked, âAre there people with rebels around?â
Â
The beard was deafeningly quiet. After a long pause, he smiled and said, âI didnât expect to see you here, let alone in the capital⊠Heh, donât go back and mix things up; they went insane after you left, thinking all day. Kill, kill, a horde of maniacs. If youâre not going to save me, letâs have a good time.â
Â
âTo whom are you speaking to?â Yun Yi stated as he looked at the bearded man.
Â
âOf course, I was speaking with the official. I just realized how much I like the man.â He stated.
Â
He was quickly dragged away, and Li Yun stood there watching.
Â
âŠâŠ
Â
That afternoon, Li Yun sat in the courtyard.
Â
The beard who was apprehended was the one who assisted him with treatment after he crossed over and broke his leg. Despite being a doctor, he became involved with the insurgents. Li Yun remembered how much he enjoyed looking at the legs of the little girl on the road.
Â
He told Li Yun not to save him, but after all, treating his legs was grace, and he was still a former colleague. His heart wonât rest unless he went and saved him, but if he did do that, he might endanger his familyâs life if he was discovered.
Â
âWhatâs the matter?â While staring at him, Zhou Ruoli said.
Â
âIt should be mentioned that it has something to do with previous problems.â Li Yun smirked as he scratched his chin.
Â
âCan you tell me about your past?â
Â
âThere canât be any women youâve met.â Li Yun waved his hand quickly, but lowered his head and asked, âWould you come to save me if I was caught by the emperor?â
Â
âNope.â
Â
âThatâs great.â Li Yun shook his head and smiled.
Â
âI mean, you wonât be arrested.â Zhou Ruoli stated quietly.
