Traitor

Chapter 216 Behind the Jiaofang Division Case
Wen Gu's eyes flickered a little, but there were some things he shouldn't and couldn't say.Meeting Zhao Wuyou's eyes, he knew that he would lose soon, so he only dared to take a look, and then lowered his eyebrows early, not daring to look at her again.

Otherwise, he would privately think that Zhao Wuyou knew everything, but she had always known it.

He didn't dare, and didn't have the face, to say something.There are some vacancies that cannot be filled in a lifetime.

Taking a deep breath, Wen Gu lowered his head and smiled wryly, before applying needles to himself, "When you say this, aren't you afraid that those who care about you will be sad?"

Zhao Wuyou still had that indifferent and alienated expression, "They have already accepted the reality, and sadness and sadness are inevitable after all. I just made all the preparations, and I don't want to suddenly one day..."

"That day won't happen." Wen Gu looked up coldly.

In Wen Gu's eyes, Zhao Wuyou saw the pain, the unbearable pain.

Zhao Wuyou stared at him intently, and smiled naturally and comfortably, "Wen Gu, do you have something to hide from me?"

"You have asked this question too many times, and I still have the same answer, no." Wen Gu continued to treat her, "Young master is not in good health, it's better not to think too much."

"Thought and thought, I just want some warmth in the world, and want to live a good life!" Zhao Wuyou sighed softly, "Wen Gu, do you still have relatives in this world?"

"It's gone." Wen Gu's hands were trembling slightly, and his expression was extremely unnatural.

Zhao Wuyou didn't say anything more, the sudden silence made Wen Gu feel uneasy, and his whole heart was a little inexplicably up and down.He didn't understand why Zhao Wuyou said these words suddenly, making people feel a little confused, and almost thought that she had already known his deep secret.

Wen Gu also thought about it, if she really knew the secret behind this, what would she do?Would you choose to forgive and let him stay away from her?He was not sure, for a person like Zhao Wuyou who thought deeply, anything could happen.

He couldn't guess her thoughts, so he didn't dare to confide easily.

Waiting for Wen Gu to finish the acupuncture, Zhao Wuyou leaned on the couch to rest, already exhausted.Su Xi entered the door, and carefully wiped the thin sweat off her forehead.

Zhao Wuyou was so tired that he didn't even have the strength to open his eyelids.

She fell asleep in a daze, and in her sleep, she vaguely felt that someone came in, and then there was a sweeping warmth, which was enough to warm her whole body.She was very used to nestling in his arms, enjoying the warmth that belonged to her to her heart's content.

He sighed helplessly from the top, but he just hugged her tightly and locked her tightly in his arms, so that her cold body could be warmed up and she could sleep more comfortably.

Waiting for Zhao Wuyou to sleep comfortably, he opened his eyes in the dead of night.

This sleep is really relaxing.

"Finally you are willing to look at me?" His voice was strong, but Zhao Wuyou listened, why was there a smell of jealousy?It looks like a wronged little daughter-in-law, will she complain to her?
She opened her sleepy eyes, and said with a nasal voice, "Why haven't you woken me up?"

He stretched out his hand to brush away the messy black hair on her face, "It's rare to sleep so peacefully. I think I'm tired during the day, so why am I willing to wake you up? I look at you helplessly, for fear that you will suddenly faint like in the daytime." In the past, what will happen then? Fortunately, you are fine, and you can still open your eyes and talk to me. "

She smiled, "Of course I'm fine, it's not like you don't know, I have butterfly Gu on my body, how could I die so easily?"

Xu touched his weakness, he suddenly bowed his head and blocked her lips, "Don't say that word lightly, you will be fine."

"You seem to have something to do." She frowned and stared at him. "What happened?"

Mu Baili then smiled, "Can you girl not be so smart? If you can see through everything, wouldn't this world be a lot less fun? If you guess right, you can set up a fortune-telling stall under the overpass in the future. Door."

She landed a soft fist on his chest, "Thinking so long-term, do you want to elope with me?"

He held her cold catkin and pressed it against his warm chest, "Then you wish?"

She rolled her eyes, "Isn't this nonsense?"

"Answer truthfully." He insisted on her saying it herself.

She curled her lips, showing a bit of the coquettish attitude of a little daughter, "You are always aggressive, if I hadn't accepted you, who do you think you can follow? It's so heartless."

He began to look for stability in her body, her restless lips made her very itchy, his voice was hoarse and low, "Say you say it? I have endured it for a long, long time..."

Counting from her mother's death to now, he hasn't tasted her for a long time.

It was really tormenting from sharpening knives in the beginning, to being unscrupulous in meat and vegetables, and now to being full of anger.If she hadn't teased him back then, maybe she could have endured it.

But this kind of thing has one thing and another, once you taste it, you can't quit it anymore.Especially when facing her, there is always a kind of gnashing of teeth with a sense of taste.He wished he could tear her down to the bone, so that from now on, others would not covet her and do anything to her again.

"Stop!" Zhao Wuyou hastily held up his face, breathing rapidly, his face was flushed with charming crimson, "Mu Baili, don't make trouble."

His voice was hoarse, "Ask my husband to tell me something."

She laughed softly, "Why are you such a rascal."

But he clung to her in a serious manner, like an octopus crab that couldn't be shaken off, "What's more, you have seen it before. Or, do you need me to show you again? If so, Ben A seat is well-deserved.”

As soon as her body was cold, he had deftly removed her pajamas.

Zhao Wuyou was startled, "Sir!"

He suddenly smiled, so proudly, then bit her lips, and said softly and lowly, "It's so nice."

She blushed inadvertently.

This kind of relationship is quiet and good, and it is the most beautiful thing that people who have experienced ups and downs hope for.They long for it but can't get it, so once they get it, they will cherish it and hold on to the only thing they have together, and manage it as if it lasts forever.

He also didn't want to embarrass her, she wanted to be a filial piety for her mother, so he had to accommodate her.In fact, as long as he wants, she is still willing to give it, but such reluctance makes him reluctant to part with it.

Gently embracing his beloved woman, he held her in his arms, preventing her from seeing clearly the reluctance in his eyes.He said, "You are in poor health, what should you do if I'm not around?"

She forced a smile, "You haven't been by my side for more than ten years, haven't I come here? Whether you are here or not, I will live a good life." If he didn't mention it, she naturally wouldn't ask any more questions.

There are some things that cannot be controlled by each other, and everyone knows it well.

In the court, everything is variable, and there is no way to control it.

"Are you angry?" She asked in a low voice.

It's good that she didn't mention it. He really felt a little annoyed when he mentioned it.Originally, he wanted to settle accounts with her, but when he saw her fainting later, he felt uncomfortable, and what was even more unpleasant was that he couldn't show his worry and anxiety in front of everyone.

Want to love but can't love, want to care but there is always a gap that can't be crossed.

"I will try my best to avoid entering the palace unless the emperor summons me." This is the biggest promise she can give.In the court, I can't help myself.

He knows her difficulties, so he will not ask her anything, the only requirement is to live well.As long as you are alive, there is always hope.Holding her tightly, he sighed softly, "It's okay, I believe you."

She also sighed softly, "Why is it so difficult?"

"As long as you don't let go, no matter how difficult it is." He said in a low voice, "I have something to say to you in advance, be careful of Jin Yiwei, understand?"

Of course Zhao Wuyou knew what he meant, "The Commander of Jinyiwei, Zeng Qian, had contact with Xia Donglou earlier, and I always suspected that he could be from the Xia family. But now that the Duke's Mansion has fallen, we Thinking that a man who understands current affairs is a good man, he should not make things difficult for me."

"Be careful sailing for thousands of years, and no matter whether he makes things difficult for you or not, you should always know that Jinyi's army belongs to the emperor alone. If they say something about you in front of the emperor, it will be a big trouble." Mu Baili sat get up.

She leaned softly in his arms, her eyes darkened, "I understand, I will handle this matter carefully. I always feel a little strange about the case of Jiaofang Secretary. Zhong Mi was suppressed by me earlier. For the power of parrying, he has no value to the entire imperial court. I didn't expect that someone would find him trouble, do you think there is something related to this, that I haven't noticed?"

"As soon as the incident happened, I asked Lu Guoan to go to Zhong's house quietly. Guess what I found?" Mu Baili smiled coldly.

She looked up at him in confusion, no wonder he didn't show up at that time, he took advantage of everyone's attention to Jiao Fangsi, and went to Zhong Xian's house to investigate.

Therefore, they are the best match, no matter what they do, they are in such a tacit harmony.

She pecked lightly on his lips, "Don't be secretive."

He smiled with satisfaction, "The Zhong family is gone, but it's definitely not the kind of family relocation."

Zhao Wuyou sat up straight slowly, "You mean... they are all dead?"

"I don't see people alive or dead, but in the cellar of Zhong's house, I found a lot of good things. Gold and silver, riches, and rich income." Mu Baili looked at her meaningfully, "I should know what it means Come on!"

"That's why I said that what I hate the most are those guys who wield knives and guns all day long, and they will go to extremes at every turn. This is good, they are so paranoid that they put the whole family in trouble." Zhao Wuyou expressed helplessness, "Do you think I am so hated?"

"Before I ate you, you were indeed hated. You were clearly a sick child, but you were cruel." Mu Baili sighed, "I am still looking for the whereabouts of the body. I only found a little blood in the bedroom, and the rest They were all cleaned up. There are no traces, and even if Jin Yiwei goes, there will be no clues."

"If Jin Yiwei found the corpse, would they think it was me who killed the grass?" Zhao Wuyou asked with a smile.

Mu Baili gently scratched the tip of her nose, "It's your fault that it's not even."

"I'll only fuck you in my life, how can I have the leisure and elegance to fuck other people's families?" She stood up calmly.

He sneered, "Where are you going?"

"I'm hungry." She gave him a blank look.

"I have guessed that you will be like this, so I have asked Suxi to order the kitchen to be ready to bring you something to eat at any time." He got up and stuffed her back into the bed, "It's good to rest."

He took his coat, put it on, and walked out of the room.Not long after, he came in with food, as if he was in charge of the house.Zhao Wuyou had already put on his coat, and slowly sat in front of the desk.

"It's such a great honor for Lord Chitose to prepare vegetables for me!" She joked.

"I don't mind, I will feed Mr. Zhao myself. If Mr. Zhao thinks it is troublesome to hold chopsticks, I can also..." He smiled wickedly, isn't the meaning obvious enough?
Ever since he met Zhao Wuyou, when it was time to eat tofu, he would not be merciful at all.You have to eat what you should eat, and you can eat two more bites when you are full.

Zhao Wuyou glanced at him with raised eyebrows, "I hope Lord Qiantose can still maintain such freshness and affection for me after many years." She chewed the food with a look of waiting for examination.

He smiled, with joy in his eyes, "Then we will wait and see."

The two people who can't last forever can only say these touching words of love in another way.

He gave her cloth and watched her eat it bit by bit with difficulty.She didn't actually eat much, and he knew it, but she didn't want to disappoint him, he wanted her to eat more.

Suxi was still sitting in the backyard, turning her head to look at Lu Guoan, "The relationship between my young master and your Lord Qiantui is getting better and better, but I don't know how long it will last. After all, this treacherous court is not a place for people to stay."

"Except for King Qi You and the Prime Minister's Mansion, the court can be ruled by Lord Qiansui and Master Zhao, so that's okay." Lu Guoan sighed softly, "However, there are too many powerless and involuntary people. "

As if remembering something, Lu Guoan stared at Suxi, "You must protect Mr. Zhao well."

"What you said seems to have an intention behind it." Suxi smiled coldly, "Can't you just say it directly?"

"The imperial decree hasn't come down yet, and everything is still uncertain, so I can't tell you directly." Lu Guoan sighed, "Protect Mr. Zhao well, even if I am begging for Lord Qiantui."

Su Xi's face darkened, "Where is Lord Qiantose going?"

Lu Guoan raised his eyebrows, "Who knows? Maybe!"

Hearing this, Su Xi remained silent.

What is it called, maybe?
"Does your master know?" Su Xi was worried about Zhao Wuyou.

Lu Guoan shook his head, "Master Qiantui has no idea, so he probably won't say anything. Wait and see! Now the Shangshu Mansion is in troubled times, so let's deal with the issue of the Jiaofang Division first!"

"Your majesty, of course, trusts you, and even if you have doubts, you won't embarrass him too much." Su Xi narrowed her eyes, "It's just that if someone dares to make trouble in the Jiaofang Division, the emperor will inevitably worry about the defense of the palace."

Hearing this, Lu Guoan smiled coolly, as if he knew something.It's just that since some things have happened, shrinking back is a dead end, but letting go can have a chance.

"Why don't you speak?" Su Xi asked again.

Lu Guoan thought, there was nothing more to say, too much to explain to Lord Chitose.There is no certainty yet, so it is useless to say more.After thinking for a while, he said, "Thousands of people who should be said will tell Mr. Zhao that some things are the responsibility of men after all."

Suxi looked at Lu Guoan with disgust, "It doesn't seem to be your responsibility, does it?"

"Hey, let me tell you, why do you hurt so much?" Lu Guoan suddenly felt that he was also a bad tempered person, "I'm not real, it's just that I was injured in my early years."

Suxi stared at Lu Guoan for a long time, "You are not from the court, are you?"

"Now it is." Lu Guoan said.

"I think your martial arts are a bit like someone in the Jianghu." Su Xi's eyes darkened slightly.

Lu Guoan held Leng Jian helplessly, "Are women all this troublesome? If there is a little trouble, they will turn into soldiers? I am a thousand households in Dongchang now, does it have anything to do with who I was earlier?"

"People are always curious, and it is precisely because of curiosity that they can have a desire for knowledge, and only with a desire for knowledge can they make continuous progress." Su Xi smiled, "Master Qianhu seems to be very taboo about others bringing up your past. .”

"There's nothing to be taboo about, but Zuo's previous appearance was too shabby, and he didn't have the face to face people!" Lu Guoan sighed softly.

"Young master said that everyone is unique in the world, so you don't need to be so guarded against me." Su Xi said, "Everyone has their own past, you are like this, and so am I."

She caressed the totem on the scabbard, smiling coldly.

Lu Guoan said, "I walked the rivers and lakes in my early years, killed many people, and was hunted down by many people. Later, when I was close to death, I met Lord Qiantui. He saved me, so my life belongs to him. ’ He was succinct.

For some reason, Su Xi felt that the moonlight tonight was extraordinarily cold, and it was so cold in her heart, which made people feel so sad.She thought of that person, and looking back now, it has been so many years.

She was also famous for a while, and then had to spend the rest of her life to repay the debt of the past.

"What about you?" Lu Guoan said, "You don't seem to be a member of the imperial court either."

"Since ancient times, chivalry came out of the world. I am not a man in the world, but I almost fell into the world. Can you imagine what it would be like to be all alone, leaving you alone?" Suxi sighed softly, "In this world of cannibalism, everyone They all have their own stories, and they all have their own reasons. If it wasn't for the young master, maybe I would be dead at this moment. Not only me, but all my friends and relatives."

Lu Guoan smiled, "Then I'm better than you, I can eat enough for one person and the whole family won't be hungry."

She pulled her lips and smiled forcedly, "I'd rather be alone like you, than some people doing deeds in the name of flesh and blood relatives." Suxi sighed, "I saw through it in the past, almost For the rest of my life, it was Young Master who dragged me back from the gate of hell. She slapped me twice and scolded me for being worthless."

Hearing this, Lu Guoan turned his head and smiled secretly.

"What are you laughing at?" Su Xi rolled her eyes.

Lu Guoan said, "With your temperament, your son still said you were worthless? It's hard for me to imagine how embarrassed you were at that time."

"Brother was dying at the time, and I had nowhere to go. I just wanted to die." Recalling the scene back then, Su Xi felt as if she was in a dream, "You don't know, the first time I saw that sickly boy, I just feel that although he is a sick child, he has a kind of attitude that is not angry but powerful. At that time, everyone was quiet, and they were like gods in my eyes."

She thought, she had never seen such a domineering woman in her life, not that kind of overbearing and willful, but a light look in her eyes, and she could feel that she was not an easy character.

No matter what you do, you will do it with confidence, and you will never leak.

Su Xi felt that she was probably convinced by Zhao Wuyou, that's why she followed Zhao Wuyou so willingly, all the way to where she is today.

Gradually, I got used to it.

"Say it as if you have a sweetheart." Lu Guoan snorted lightly.

Su Xi was also amused, "You are inseparable from Lord Chitose, it's like a deep love between you and me."

"You are not afraid of being overheard when you say this. Lord Qiantui will not spare you then." Lu Guoan joked.

Su Xi raised her eyebrows, "The young master can't spare him either."

Lu Guo calmed down and thought about it, it seemed that Zhao Wuyou was slightly better than him no matter what.Sure enough, people and things in this world are always boiled with tofu, and one thing is one thing.

The two sat quietly in the backyard, watching the wonderful moonlight, and had a good talk.The same people who have fallen in the end of the world, why meet each other before.This is probably the best portrayal of them.

One has a wound on the body and the other has a wound on the heart, it really is very right.

Xu Shi slept too long the day before, and couldn't fall asleep at night, so he tossed him if he couldn't sleep.After tossing him, let him endure it all night.

"What do you want?" He darkened.

When she had nothing to do, she just moved around on him, poking here and caressing there, so as to pass the time.She originally wanted to read a book and deal with the unfinished business of the Ministry of Rites, but this guy refused and insisted on sleeping with her in his arms.

So the final result is that she doesn't want to sleep, so don't you either...

"I don't want to do anything." She looked innocent, "It's almost dawn, and it's time for Lord Qiantose to go."

"I didn't ask you to send me out, so why are you so active?" He bullied her and pressed her down, "You tormented me all night, you should make up for it before you leave."

Zhao Wuyou smiled coolly, "I'm still keeping my filial piety."

He nodded, "So for the sake of my mother-in-law, I have to take good care of you. Does Mr. Zhao know what it's like to light a fire and not turn it off?"

She froze and smiled immediately, "It's almost dawn."

He smiled softly, bowed his head and bit her earlobe, "It's dawn, and it has the advantage of dawn, so you can look more carefully."

Zhao Wuyou felt regretful...

When it was Si time, none of the young masters woke up, Suxi felt a little surprised.The thousand-year-old has been away for a long time, why is the young master still asleep?Could it be yesterday... It stands to reason that the young master is keeping his filial piety and he is not feeling well, so Lord Qiantui should also take care of it.

It's just that Suxi forgot that this Lord Qiantui came from the palace, and some of them have the ability to torment people.

It wasn't until lunch time that Zhao Wuyou got up. This fellow attacked too hard, even if there was no substantial progress, it still... made her very tired.She looked helplessly at Su Xi who was snickering, with a calm expression on her face, "Stop laughing."

Su Xi said, "Young Master, you seem to be alive today. The former Young Master never cried or laughed, which makes people feel very distressed."

Zhao Wuyou sighed softly, "Because no one would love you before, so you have to carry it by yourself. By the way, let's not talk about these, you let the shadow guards watch the movement of Jin Yiwei, I'm afraid these slaves will make a fuss Moth."

"Jin Yi is in the army?" Su Xi was startled, "They are the Emperor's people, if people know that we are watching them, I'm afraid there will be trouble."

"So I want you to find someone you can trust." Zhao Wuyou stared, "Mu Baili said, be careful of Jinyiwei, especially Zeng Qian, the commander of the Jinyiwei. After the fall, there is still hope in my heart.”

Suxi nodded, "If he wants to help Xia Donglou make a comeback, then - the consequences are really unimaginable. Zhong Xian was also a member of Xia Donglou before, and if he had colluded with Zeng Qian, it is not impossible."

"If he was killed, then his feet will be exposed after all. But if --- he committed suicide and planned it deliberately, then behind this incident, I'm afraid..." Zhao Wuyou rubbed his brows, "Let's do the same thing!"

Su Xi nodded, "The humble official will deal with it according to the circumstances." Suddenly, she paused, "Do you feel that there is something wrong with Master Qiantui?"

Zhao Wuyou looked up at her, "What do you mean by that?"

"Last night, Lu Guoan said some weird things to me. I always felt that something was wrong with the game. Lu Guoan said, something like an imperial decree, it seems that the emperor has to issue a decree. Lu Guoan refuses to say what the decree is." Su Xi pursed her lips, "My lord, does Lord Qiantose have any plans?"

"Imperial decree?" Zhao Wuyou was startled for a moment, then slowly got up, staring at Suxi with dark eyes, "You mean, Dongchang may have to take action? And this matter must be the emperor's intention?"

Su Xi said, "About it! No matter how I ask, or how I say it, Lu Guoan just won't say it."

"He has followed Mu Baili for so many years, if he is not tight-lipped, how dare Mu Baili keep him?" Zhao Wuyou's eyes darkened, "What he can tell you is probably what Mu Baili meant. The imperial decree... he What exactly do you want to do?"

She really overlooked one thing, that is, Mu Baili went to the palace to look for the emperor in person yesterday, but he didn't know what he was talking about.Is it possible that this is the imperial decree incident?What does Mulberry want to do?
At this juncture, it seems that nothing is appropriate to do anything, just look at the Prime Minister's Mansion and King Qi You's Mansion standing still, it should be known that the current situation is best if the enemy does not move and I do not move.

Suxi shook her head, "I don't even understand the lowly position, what is Qiantose Lord thinking now, what do you want to do when you ask for the imperial decree?"

Zhao Wuyou only felt his heart beating violently, and he arrived vaguely, something big might happen.

What will be the big deal?
But no matter what happens, the day goes on.

Jian Yan looked around and walked into a house carefully.In the dark room, there were already people waiting.The man stood by the window, with his back to Jian Yan, his face could not be seen clearly in the darkness.

I could only hear the man speak in a deep voice, "The matter has been settled, what else do you want?"

Jian Yan stood in the bright place of the doorway, smiling as elegantly as before, "It's an acquaintance anyway, no matter what happens in the future, we are on the same boat. If something happens in the future, none of us can escape. Thinking about it this way, Do you feel that the relationship has taken another step?" He narrowed his eyes and smiled, speaking in a gentle and gentle manner, "Actually, I just came to thank you."

After speaking, he turned and left.
