Your Majesty, you don’t want your secret to be known, do you?

Chapter 28 Chen Hong learns how to bark like a dog [two in one chapter]

Li Yunshu silently put away the photo beads and watched the changes.

Just now, he really wanted to announce the contents of the photo beads in court, but now he has changed his mind.

Because doing that would first condemn the white-clothed Yinling to death.

From the look of Gao Gong, it was obvious that he did not want to convict Zhao Xun.

He had been thinking about how to protect the Yin Ling in white, and Zhao Xun's words in court gave him a perfect solution.

In this way, the white-clothed Yin spirit can be preserved.

After Zhao Xun died, the white-clothed Yin Ling no longer had to harm the people of the capital for him.

As the son of Zhao Youde, Li Yunshu had no good impression of Zhao Xun at first.

After all, if Zhao Yi is that virtuous, how much better can Zhao Xun be.

But after this incident, he now has some admiration for Zhao Xun.

What a love-struck guy.

above the lobby.

Gao Gong, who was holding the gavel in his hand, was completely confused. What was going on?
Why don't these people act according to the script?

He and Zhao Youde had clearly agreed to put all the blame on the Yin spirit.

But Zhao Xun was just deceived by the Yin spirit, and his crime would not lead to death.

What's the situation now?
Zhao Xun pleads guilty in court, how should he be sentenced?
Gao Gong looked at Zhao Youde above the lobby with questioning eyes.

At this time, Yinling in white shook his head and said.

"No, it's not like that!"

Li Yunshu's eyes narrowed, and when he was about to stop her from continuing, Zhao Xun moved faster.

Zhao Xun was seen covering the mouth of Yin Ling in white, while a stream of black blood poured out of the corner of his own mouth.

"This way... we can be together forever."

He knew that his simple confession would be stopped by his father.

So, I had already taken the poison when I came here.

It can be said that after leaving Zhao Mansion today, he had no intention of going back alive.

The white-clothed Yin Ling shook her head desperately, but Zhao Xun's vision had begun to blur.

In just a few breaths, he completely lost his life and fell into the arms of Yinling in white.

"what!"

The white-clothed Yin Ling looked up to the sky and cried bitterly, hugging Zhao Xun's body and kneeling on the ground.

Zhao Youde immediately rushed up and pushed her aside.

"Get out of here, you are the bumbling star!"

"Why are you so stupid, Xun'er!" Zhao Youde held Zhao Xun's body and suddenly turned around to see Li Yunshu, "Li Yunshu, if you kill my two sons, I will never let you go even if I'm a ghost!"

Looking at Zhao Xun's body, Li Yunshu couldn't feel happy.

He walked to Zhao Youde, leaned down and asked loudly.

"If he were alive, people would die every day in the capital. Aren't those people's lives not life?"

"How can the lives of those untouchables be compared with those of my son!"

cough cough.

Seeing that Zhao Youde had almost lost his mind, Gao Gong cleared his throat and slapped the alarm in his hand.

"Zhao Xun, the culprit in the disappearance of the capital, has committed suicide out of fear of crime. This government announces that he will withdraw from court!"

……

Royal Palace.

Shangguan Shuangyue stepped into Fenglin Hall.

"Your Majesty, the envoys from the Western Zhou Dynasty have arrived."

"Yes." Pei Xuanji held the "Elixir Body Sculpting Record" in her hand without raising her head, "Let him come in."

After a while, a man in brocade clothes walked into the hall.

"Your Majesty, Su Li, was ordered by His Majesty the Western Zhou Dynasty to meet with His Majesty the Emperor of Chu."

Pei Xuanji put down the book in her hand and looked up at Su Li.

"Why did Taishu Chang ask you to come?"

"The reason why I sent my ministers to your Majesty is to marry Da Chu and make peace forever."

"Oh?"

This answer surprised Pei Xuanji.

Unlike other countries, she is the only one in the royal family of Da Chu.

Therefore, she was very curious about whom in Da Chu the Western Zhou Dynasty wanted to marry.

"Who does Tai Shuchang want from the Western Zhou Dynasty to marry?"

Su Li said respectfully.

"I am the 13th daughter of His Majesty, Princess Linglong."

Pei Xuanji asked with interest.

"I have many talented young people in Da Chu. I wonder who this Princess Linglong has taken a liking to?"

"Your Majesty, this is Li Yunshu from Jingmingguan in the capital."

Li Yunshu... Yunshu... Shu.

Li Yunshu's name kept echoing in Pei Xuanji's mind.

She sneered, Tai Shuchang made this plan, and she heard it in Da Chu.

I want Li Yunshu because I know that guy's master has ascended.

Seeing that she didn't speak for a long time, Su Li continued.

"I also hope that Your Majesty will grant permission to marry Princess Linglong and Li Yunshu."

"It's a good thing to want to get married. I'm happy to see it happen."

Hearing this, Su Li felt happy.

"Thanks Your Majesty Ron—"

However, Pei Xuanji interrupted him directly.

"Don't be in a hurry to thank me. Li Yunshu is a member of the Taoist sect, and marriage is not allowed in Jingmingguan. So marriage is okay, but you have to find someone else."

"His Majesty--"

"What?" Pei Xuanji said coldly, "Didn't I make it clear enough?"

Su Li immediately lowered his head and said respectfully.

"I understand."

The Queen Mother ordered him to take Li Yunshu back to the Western Zhou Dynasty.

It would be best if we could bring Li Yunshu back through marriage.

Now that the marriage cannot be achieved, he can only think of other ways.

However, the more Pei Xuanji refuses to let him go, the more important it becomes to Li Yunshu.

He was even more convinced that Li Yunshu must know something about the ascension.

Pei Xuanji waved her hand.

"If you have nothing else to do, just step back."

"I have one more thing to do."

"What's the matter?"

"Your Majesty, I want to exchange for the Beihai Stone that was imprisoned in Dachu."

Pei Xuanji looked at Shangguan Shuangyue on the side with a questioning look in her eyes.

Shangguan Shuangyue immediately stepped forward and explained.

"This person is the top secret agent of the Western Zhou Dynasty and is imprisoned in the Zhenyisi dungeon."

There are spies lurking in every country. This is not a secret.

The Yiyi Suppression Department she heads is not just responsible for catching evil spirits.

Among them, some people are scattered in other countries to provide intelligence to Dachu.

Of course, when you are a spy, you will inevitably make mistakes, so every country has arrested spies from other countries.

These people were either secretly executed or imprisoned.

The only spy who could make the Western Zhou Dynasty propose an exchange was Bei Haishi, who was known as the master spy in the Western Zhou Dynasty.

Pei Xuanji nodded slightly. Shangguan Shuangyue was in charge of all Da Chu's spies, so she didn't pay too much attention to this matter.

"I'm tired. You should take full responsibility for this matter."

Shangguan Shuangyue bowed his head and said yes.

Seeing this, Su Li saluted again.

"My minister retire."

……

The view is clear.

Zhao Xun died, and his soul condensed into a Yin spirit, which followed Li Yunshu back to the Taoist temple.

Seeing Zhao Xun and Yinling in white looking greasy and crooked in the courtyard, Li Yunshu felt that he couldn't just eat this dog food.

Therefore, with a flick of the soul flag in his hand, Chen Hong stepped out.

Chen Hong spat as he looked at the two Yin spirits nibbling together as if no one else was watching.

"You called me out just to see this?"

Li Yunshu answered naturally.

"if not?"

Chen Hong rolled his eyes and then looked outside the Taoist temple.

"I heard that the capital sells a special kind of stockings. Can you take me to see them?" Li Yunshu sneered at this. What kind of stockings can be as good as black silk?

"What, do you want to show it to Mr. Jiang in the future?"

Chen Hong put his arm on Li Yunshu's shoulder.

"If you want to see it, I can wear it for you first."

Li Yunshu tensed up and stood up immediately.

"Let's go."

It wasn't that he was afraid of Chen Hong, but he didn't feel anything at all.

But every time the empress came, she made no sound. He was afraid that he would be kicked away again.

Shangpin shop.

The most famous ready-to-wear shop in the West Market, with a dazzling array of brocade fabrics.

Chen Hong stepped in ahead of Li Yunshu.

She glanced around, and the shopkeeper immediately came to greet her.

"I wonder which piece of fabric the girl has chosen?"

Chen Hong asked.

"Do you have those kind of stockings, that's--"

For a moment, she forgot the name of the stockings.

I only saw it when I was in Jiangdu County. It is said that only the capital can sell it.

As soon as she heard the news, the shopkeeper knew what she wanted.

The shopkeeper pointed to a row of display cabinets in the distance.

"The girl is talking about black stockings."

what!
Li Yunshu, who was walking behind, heard the word "black silk" before he stepped through the door of Shangpin Shop.

He rushed into Shangpin Shop, wanting to confirm whether he had heard wrongly.

But when he walked into the shop, Chen Hong was holding a piece of black silk in his hand and looking at it carefully.

Seeing this scene, Li Yunshu's eyes widened instantly.

hiss!
what's the situation!
How could there be such a thing as black stockings in this world!

His eyes fell on the display cabinet in front of Chen Hong. He was dazzled by the black silk, white silk, meat silk, gradient silk, and even fishing nets.

Beside the showcase, there were pairs of shoes.

Hey!
Li Yunshu called the good guy - high heels!

He raised his hand and patted his cheek to confirm that this was not a dream.

Li Yunshu walked to the display cabinet, picked up a piece of black silk, and gently stroked it with her palm, feeling the silky touch on her skin.

At this moment, the image of the empress wearing black stockings and high heels appeared in his mind.

Wearing a dragon robe, paired with black silk stockings and high heels, is also a unique look.

Suck!

"Shopkeeper, why have I never seen anyone wearing these?"

This is also the reason that puzzles Li Yunshu the most. He has lived in the capital for so many years and has never seen anyone wearing black stockings and high heels on the street.

Therefore, he never expected that a clothing store would sell these things!

The clothes he usually wears are the leftover Taoist robes he picked up from his master, so he has never been to a clothing store.

Li Yunshu was wearing Zhenyisi's clothes, so the shopkeeper naturally didn't dare to neglect him.

"Young master, you are joking. No serious person would wear this on the street."

"Huh?" Li Yunshu turned to the shopkeeper with a puzzled look on his face, "When will you wear it?"

The shopkeeper lowered his voice and said meaningfully.

"Of course I wear it at night."

Li Yunshu immediately understood that although there were black silk stockings and high heels here, people were not in the habit of wearing them out.

Therefore, in people's eyes, these things only play a role in improving mood, rather than being worn as part of clothes.

If you think about it carefully, before Master ascended to heaven, he stayed in the Taoist temple all day long, and he really didn't have much chance to see the young woman.

Even if someone goes out wearing black stockings, he can't see it.

What's more, women rarely appear in public.

On the side, Chen Hong couldn't let go of the black stockings in her hands. This is what she wanted.

In fact, Li Yunshu's guess was correct. She just wanted to buy this and wear it for the person she likes when she returns to Jiangdu County one day.

"Shopkeeper, how much does this one - black silk stockings cost?"

The shopkeeper smiled and extended a hand.

"Five taels of silver."

Chen Hong exclaimed.

"So expensive!"

She expected that this thing would be more expensive, but when she heard the price, it far exceeded her expectations.

She had no money herself, so she had to borrow money from Li Yunshu to buy this thing.

But after these few days of getting along, she had already seen that Li Yunshu was extremely poor.

Although Jingming Temple is a Taoist temple located in the capital, not a single pilgrim can be seen all day long.

If she hadn't joined the Zhenyi Division as an errand, she suspected that Li Yunshu would have starved to death in the Taoist temple sooner or later.

Ever since Li Yunshu came in, most of the shopkeeper's thoughts have been on him.

Now I heard that Chen Hong thought it was expensive, so a look of disdain immediately appeared on his face.

"Why is it expensive? It has been this price for so many years."

Seeing the shopkeeper's appearance, the corner of Chen Hong's mouth twitched.

"Shopkeeper, can it be cheaper for me to learn how to bark like a dog?"

The shopkeeper was a little impatient.

"Okay, you call someone and I'll listen."

Chen Hong cleared her throat and imitated the shopkeeper's accent.

"Why is it expensive? It has been this price for so many years."

The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment and then reacted.

"You-why are you swearing!"

Chen Hong asked innocently: "Why did I scold you?"

"you--"

The shopkeeper was furious. If it weren't for the people from the Zhenyi Division standing beside him, he would have beaten the shrew in front of him out long ago.

"Do you want to buy it or not? If not, don't delay my business."

Li Yunshu took out a piece of gold from his sleeve and said calmly.

"Whatever she wants to buy, it's up to me."

The shopkeeper turned around and saw the gold dazzling his eyes, and he finally understood.

"Hey, it turns out you two are together."

After taking the gold with both hands, he turned to Chen Hong with a smile.

"Ma'am, which one do you like? I'll put it up for you."

"Haha——" Chen Hong snorted coldly, "I still like your unruly look just now."

cough cough.

The shopkeeper coughed twice in embarrassment, then straightened up and returned to his original appearance.

Chen Hong's eyes swept over the gold, it was not an illusion.

This guy actually has gold!
Isn't it my wife?

Thinking of this, Chen Hong was embarrassed to buy too much. After all, he was spending other people's money.

"I just want this black stocking."

However, just when the shopkeeper was about to pack up the black silk in his hand.

Li Yunshu said.

"I want it all!"

Shopkeeper: "Huh?"

Chen Hong: "Huh?"

Li Yunshu swept his fingers across the display cabinet.

"The same pair of socks, the same pair of shoes, wrap them up."

He knew the size of the empress's body very well.

So you don’t need to measure the high heels to know what size to buy.

The shopkeeper's face lit up with joy.

"Okay!"

Chen Hong looked at the dazzling array of socks and his throat rolled.

I felt a little sorry for Li Yunshu's money, but also a little moved.

"Actually, there's no need to buy so many, I only need one or two."

Li Yunshu glanced at her.

"You are overthinking. I bought these for myself. You can choose what you want."

"you?"

Chen Hong looked Li Yunshu up and down, and the image of him wearing black stockings appeared in his mind, and he couldn't help but get goosebumps all over his body.
