Chapter 248 Marquis of Pingyang, you just wait!
The old emperor sat upright, waiting for Shen Zhiyi to say something next, but after waiting for a long time, there was still no response.
He looked up in confusion and secretly glanced at Shen Zhiyi. At that moment, the expression on Shen Zhiyi's face was just as wrinkled as the wrinkles on his own face.
What did you see?
【hiss.】
Are the ways that rich and powerful people seek thrills these days so... outrageous?
Shen Zhiyi took a deep breath and began to review the day of the Marquis of Pingyang.
This person sleeps until noon every day. Anyone who dares to wake him before then can expect to be beaten to death.
The old emperor turned to look at his mother and couldn't help but say, "You're getting more and more confused as you get older."
The Empress Dowager said irritably, "You're cursing your old mother to die young? How unfilial!"
"Eh?"
Did he mean that?!
After waking up, he first went to pay his respects to the Empress Dowager, since she was his patron; naturally, he had to curry favor with her.
The Empress Dowager was very uncomfortable with these words. Marquis Pingyang was clearly her beloved grandson, yet Shen Zhiyi spoke of him as if there was no affection between them whatsoever.
After paying his respects to the Empress Dowager, the Marquis of Pingyang began to frequent brothels and indulge in wine and women with his cronies.
The Empress Dowager remained unmoved.
It's perfectly normal for a man to have a drink with a womanizer.
After drinking and carousing, it was around dusk. At this time, Marquis Pingyang set off to the dog racing track to watch the competition. After watching the competition...
Shen Zhiyi's lips twitched violently.
The Empress Dowager certainly didn't know that her beloved grandson hadn't come home all night every day.
The Empress Dowager instinctively retorted.
impossible!
Although her precious grandson was indeed a bit of a spoiled brat, he was still very obedient to her.
She told him to come home every night, and he always obediently came home on his own initiative every night.
"That's a rumor, son!"
"Shhhhhhh."
The Queen Mother was depressed.
[Tsk tsk tsk, the Marquis of Pingyang's house is really overflowing with people tonight.]
This person has a strange quirk: he likes to sleep with other men's wives.
[Moreover, while he was secretly sleeping with someone else, the other woman was unaware and thought it was her own husband. In reality, her husband had already accepted money from the Marquis of Pingyang and was hiding in the wardrobe watching his wife being... well, you know.]
Shen Zhiyi remained silent for a moment.
The old emperor's eyebrows twitched.
It was too late to stop it.
Sometimes calling someone an animal is too kind; those idiots' weird habits will inevitably backfire one day.
[Five thousand words omitted here...]
Shen Zhiyi continued her tirade until she even insulted the Empress Dowager, which enraged the Empress Dowager.
The old emperor stopped his mother, but didn't forget to wink at Chen Decai.
Quickly, take Shen Zhiyi away!
Chen Decai devised a plan to lure Shen Zhiyi away.
Once the insults stopped, the Empress Dowager's anger gradually subsided.
The first thing she said after calming down was, "She actually dared to insult me?!"
The old emperor comforted him, saying, "He wasn't wrong to scold you."
"She even dares to insult me. What if she turns on us and insults you too!"
Zhang Sheren suppressed a laugh and lowered his head.
Empress Dowager, your son has already been scolded.
The old emperor was speechless for a moment.
He shouldn't tell his mother that Shen Zhiyi had already scolded him; he still has his pride.
“Mother, Shen Zhiyi is not wrong. The Marquis of Pingyang is really outrageously wrong. You have been raising him since he was a child. You are responsible for raising him to be like this.”
The Empress Dowager wanted to find some excuse for herself.
But based on her understanding of her son, she could tell that the old emperor before her was already showing signs of anger.
The old emperor was angry, but the empress dowager was still somewhat afraid.
Her tone immediately softened.
"It is true that Mother has not raised him well, but he is still your nephew. You must not kill him."
"Everything shall be done in accordance with the laws of Da Ye."
The Empress Dowager hesitated for a moment, as if she wanted to say something, but finally sighed softly.
After enduring it for a while...
“No matter what, he is your brother’s only bloodline. If he is executed, I will have no face to see your father or your brother after I die.”
As she spoke, the Empress Dowager began to sob softly.
The old emperor: ……
He's too ashamed to face his father, but considering what his mother did at his father's grave, what else is there to be ashamed of?
The Empress Dowager cried for a while longer before returning to her own courtyard.
She planned to send Xin'er to find the Marquis of Pingyang.
"Your Majesty, you're asking me to..."
"Yes, once you go out, don't come back. Take the Marquis of Pingyang out to hide for a while, and it won't be too late to come back after the Emperor's anger has subsided."
"Here."
The personal maid turned and walked out of the courtyard.
After a while.
The Empress Dowager, who was lying on the recliner, noticed that the man had returned.
"No, why are you back again?"
"Queen Mother."
The personal maid knelt down and said, "The outside is surrounded by guards. The leader said it was His Majesty's order that no one in the courtyard can leave for the time being."
The Empress Dowager was so angry that she muttered and cursed on her reclining chair.
The personal maid asked anxiously, "Empress Dowager, what should we do?"
"What else can we do? It'll get dark, so we'll just wash up and go to bed."
"And what about the Marquis?"
"Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. I've already cried, do you really expect me to kneel down before my son?"
"The Queen Mother calm down!"

Meanwhile, Shen Zhiyi was taken out by Chen Decai to buy things.
"Shen Lang, His Majesty said he wants to eat something from a street stall. You have experience with that, so..."
So I got a day off.
Shen Zhiyi temporarily spared the Marquis of Pingyang and the Empress Dowager.
Finally, Chen Decai's forehead was free of those swear words.
He secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and seeing Shen Zhiyi had stopped at a snack stall, he hurried over with the money.
"Boss, three meat pies."
"okay."
[I am one, a great scholar is one, and the old emperor is one.]
Chen Decai gave Shen Zhiyi a touched look.
He knew Shen Lang would never forget him!
"Bake the last one a little burnt."
[The old emperor's sudden urge to eat at a street stall shows that he's gotten used to the good life and wants to reminisce about the hard times.]
Chen Decai covered his ears to indicate that he could not hear.
Shen Zhiyi bought some more things intermittently afterwards.
She did all the talking, while Chen Decai paid the bills from behind.
The two ate as they prepared to return to the palace.
Halfway there, Shen Zhiyi stopped.
[System, hurry, hurry, hurry, here's the glue recipe I asked you to find.]
After reading the recipe, Shen Zhiyi turned around and went to a general store, where she quickly obtained the raw materials.
Chen Decai was completely dumbfounded.
After returning to the palace, the old emperor's dinner became the snacks that Shen Zhiyi bought.
The old emperor was indeed approachable, so approachable that he didn't seem like an emperor at all.
It would be even better if I could get some rest earlier.
The old emperor looked up and saw that Shen Zhiyi looked somewhat haggard, so he found an excuse to let her go.
【Goodness gracious, Marquis of Pingyang, you just wait!】
"Cough cough cough."
The old emperor looked up, wanting to call her back, but Shen Zhiyi had already disappeared.
"I don't know why, but I suddenly feel afraid to sleep tonight."
