Chapter 137 What Happened After Drinking (Thanks to book friends Li Renweigui and Wang Mouding Zhanburao for their monthly tickets)
Originally, facing Wang Muzhi's surveillance, Bai Renxuan's idea was to persuade Chen Dechang to take a step back and see the bigger picture. At his age, there was no need to fight for power and profit with young people.

However, since he felt Chen Dechang's firm determination last time in Wang Muzhi's tent, Bai Renxuan, although helpless, gave up the idea of ​​persuading Chen Dechang.

Although his suggestion was not adopted by Chen Dechang, as his adviser, Bai Renxuan was very responsible. He did not give up on himself, but worked hard to come up with a strategy for Chen Dechang that would have the best of both worlds, one that would neither be sidelined by Wang Muzhi nor offend Wang Muzhi too much.

Wang Muzhi is highly regarded by the Prime Minister Shangguan Hongyuan. As long as Shangguan Hongyuan's banner remains high, Wang Muzhi's future will be limitless. For such a person, you should just not curry favor with him, but why offend him?

Before Ye Mingsheng showed up, Bai Renxuan had been thinking hard for a long time, but he still couldn't find a good solution. Just when he was about to despair, the news about Ye Mingsheng brought by his brother-in-law Qian Buli was like a ray of light in the darkness, illuminating Bai Renxuan.

Bai Renxuan immediately realized that in order to avoid offending Wang Muzhi too much, he needed to divert the conflict. And who could be a more suitable "scapegoat" to bear Wang Muzhi's anger than Ye Mingsheng?
Bai Renxuan, who was feeling proud of himself, seemed to have thought of something again. He took out the red cloth from his arms, untied it as if offering a treasure, and revealed the two gold bars wrapped in it. He then said:
"My Lord, don't look at me as if Ye Mingsheng has a lowly official position, but he is quite generous. He is willing to spend money to let me introduce him to you, my Lord!"

"When we get to Liaoyang, you might as well take a piece of the pie from his business with Shen Jianzhong!"

After taking a look at the gold bars in Bai Renxuan's hand, Chen Dechang shook his head and said with some pity: "Mr. Bai, you really took Ye Mingsheng to heart, and didn't waste any of it..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Renxuan and Chen Dechang looked at each other. The next second, in the study, the two of them, who were in perfect sync, burst into laughter at the same time.

In the small courtyard of Yongpingfang, Luo'an, Ye Mingsheng, who knew nothing yet, was tossing and turning in his bedroom. At the banquet at Zuixiangju tonight, he was in a good mood because he had achieved his goal. In addition, the Fenjiu at Zuixiangju tasted really good. He forgot himself for a moment and drank a whole jar and two pots.

The wine was indeed refreshing when he first drank it, but after he sent Bai Renxuan away, the aftereffects of the wine started to set in. Ye Mingsheng, feeling dizzy, quickly swallowed the small pill that Pei Zhixiu had told him to take.

I don't know what kind of medicinal ingredients Pei Zhixiu used in this little pill, but it's really effective. After taking the pill and enjoying the breeze for a while, Ye Mingsheng's drunkenness subsided a lot, and he barely returned to Yongpingfang. Otherwise, Ye Mingsheng might not even be able to return home this time.

After returning home, Ye Mingsheng lay on the bed, wanting to cover himself with the quilt and have a good sleep, as tomorrow would be a new day. However, although his idea was good, the alcohol still in his head made him want to vomit but couldn't, and he felt very uncomfortable.

Not only that, perhaps because he drank too much, Ye Mingsheng also had some stomach pain. The combination of the two made Ye Mingsheng unable to sleep at all...

Just when Ye Mingsheng was about to harden his heart, clear his throat and force himself to vomit, he suddenly heard a burst of light footsteps coming from outside the house. The footsteps came from far away and were approaching him.

Because of the alcohol, Ye Mingsheng could only feel that he was very familiar with the footsteps, but he couldn't remember who the owner of the footsteps was.

When Ye Mingsheng was thinking about who the visitor was, Ye Dong's inquiring voice was heard outside the door. He was responsible for keeping watch tonight.

"Miss Pei...is there anything I can help you with?" Upon hearing this, Ye Mingsheng immediately realized who the visitor was, and his expression revealed a hint of confusion. He wondered what Pei Zhixiu was doing here at this time... Although she had been with him for a while, she had always been very reserved and had never come to his room on her own initiative late at night.

Just when Ye Mingsheng was confused, several seconds later, Pei Zhixiu's cold voice was heard from outside the door again.

"I'll go in and see General Ye!"

As Ye Mingsheng's personal soldier, Ye Dong naturally knew about the ambiguous relationship between his young master and Pei Zhixiu. Although there was no order from Ye Mingsheng at this time, seeing that Pei Zhixiu came so late at night and said this.

Being a smart person, he naturally didn't want to ruin Ye Mingsheng's good deeds, so he let the door open without looking away. Then, he was very considerate and walked under the jujube tree in the middle of the yard to avoid being suspected of eavesdropping.

Seeing Ye Dong's actions, Pei Zhixiu naturally understood, and a faint blush suddenly appeared on her thin and fair face, but she did not explain too much. She pushed the door and walked into Ye Mingsheng's room.

Perhaps he wanted to see what Pei Zhixiu was trying to do, or perhaps for some other reason, Ye Mingsheng chose to pretend to be asleep and did not get up to greet Pei Zhixiu.

At this time, Pei Zhixiu did not realize that Ye Mingsheng, who was lying on the bed, was pretending to sleep. She felt the strong smell of alcohol on Ye Mingsheng, frowned slightly, and complained in a low voice;

“You really don’t take care of your body at all…”

After saying that, Pei Zhixiu walked to Ye Mingsheng's side, placed her fair and tender hand gently on Ye Mingsheng's exposed wrist, and began to check Ye Mingsheng's pulse.

After carefully checking for a minute, Pei Zhixiu withdrew her hand and sighed softly.

Ye Mingsheng, who was pretending to be asleep, suddenly felt uneasy when he heard the sigh. He couldn't help but feel a little regretful that he shouldn't have drunk so much.

Just when Ye Mingsheng was hesitating whether to wake up and ask Pei Zhixiu what was wrong with his body, Pei Zhixiu's hand reached into his quilt the next second and gently massaged Ye Mingsheng's lower abdomen and chest.

Pei Zhixiu's "sudden attack" caught Ye Mingsheng off guard and he almost cried out in pleasure, but he still had some endurance and managed to hold on...
