Chapter 219 Zhao Wuyou's framing
Zhao Wuyou remained indifferent and distant as always, no matter what time he maintained such composure and composure, Mu Yao followed behind him.The two saluted Zhao Song, and shouted respectfully, "Father!"

When she arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion, Mu Yao had to act like a daughter-in-law should.

Zhao Song bowed his head, "The princess is very polite."

Mu Yao smiled and said, "Let's talk, I'll go for a walk." She is unfamiliar with this prime minister's mansion, so it is reasonable to go for a walk.What's more, anyone with a discerning eye could see that Zhao Song and Zhao Wuyou made it clear that they had something to discuss.

Seeing Mu Yao withdraw knowingly and interestingly, Zhao Wuyou stood there with his eyes closed, and spoke first, "Father should know about Dongchang?"

Zhao Song sat down, and someone came up to serve tea.

Holding his own fruit tea, Zhao Wuyou coughed lightly twice, didn't say anything more, just waiting for Zhao Song's reply.

Taking a deep breath, Zhao Song said coldly, "This matter came too abruptly. Earlier, the emperor had no intention at all, but now he suddenly issued such a decree. It is really puzzling. I don't know if there is any hidden secret in it?"

Zhao Wuyou took a sip of the fruit tea, and couldn't help but said calmly, "The East Factory is the leader of the battle, and now the emperor wants the leader of the battle to go to Huanglan to negotiate a peace. Does this mean to be defensive?"

"You mean, the emperor is worried that the main peace faction will go to negotiate peace and will collude with Huanglan? So the emperor specially let the main battle faction go to negotiate peace, so that he can also fight for Daye's own interests." Zhao Song stared, he really didn't care Thinking of this, "So the emperor is negotiating a peace on the surface, but in fact he is leaning towards the main battle."

Thinking of this, Zhao Song gasped, the emperor's trick was really good.I didn't expect that after so many years of poisoning with pills, I didn't turn him into a fool. This brain is still bright enough.

Zhao Wuyou nodded, and coughed lightly with a pale face, "The first time I heard the news, I sent someone to the Ministry of War to find out the news, and there must be news soon. Cough, if the Ministry of War has troops to mobilize, then Dad Just be careful."

Zhao Song didn't change his expression, he was always serious and cold, "Then you don't need to worry, you'd better take care of yourself!"

"Wuyou has been sick for more than ten years, and I have long been used to it." When she said this, a little sadness flashed in her eyes, which made people look a little bleak.But all her expressions are fleeting, she won't show too long or too much, and all her emotions are expressed just right.

Zhao Song took a deep breath, "If the military department is really transferred, the emperor really wants to go to war."

"If the emperor wants to fight the main battle, and he doesn't want to refute the peace talks between father and the adults, he has to think of another way. It is conceivable that the emperor's recognition and favor for Mu Baili has exceeded our imagination "Zhao Wuyou said softly and softly, "The influence of Dongchang is constantly expanding, and it will develop into an irreversible situation after a long time. At that time, if Dad wants to stop it, I am afraid that he will have more than he wants but not enough power."

"You don't need to remind me, these things are clear to my father." Zhao Song picked up the cup, took a sip of tea, and then looked at Zhao Wuyou with a chill, "I'm afraid you have been thinking about it for a long time, right? Do you really want to deal with Dong Dong?" factory?"

Zhao Wuyou sighed softly, "Dongchang and the Zhao family have been at odds for a long time, and I just want to help my father so that the Zhao family can be invincible in the court! Otherwise, our Zhao family will be destroyed by Mu Baili sooner or later if Dongchang grows stronger." In the hands. The lips are dead and the teeth are cold, and there are no eggs under the nest."

Zhao Song stared at her meaningfully, "Your Jiaofang Division's case has not been settled yet, father will handle these matters by himself."

"The case of Jiaofang Division has been handed over to Jin Yiwei. The emperor said that Jin Yi's army is trustworthy." Zhao Wuyou drank fruit tea, his face pale.

"Even if it is Jinyi's pro-army, it is not my Zhao family's pro-army after all. If you are so careless, you are not afraid of losing Jingzhou again?" Zhao Song turned cold, "Now you are on the cusp of the storm, so take care of yourself!"

"Wuyou understands!" Zhao Wuyou coughed lightly, "But no one dared to do anything to me. There is Prince Qi You's mansion on the other side of the princess, and my father is blocking it on the other side. As the only son of the Zhao family, I want to come Even if you go to the emperor, you can be thorough."

"Getting complacent and forgetting one's form will eventually lead to disaster." Zhao Song stared at her coldly, "Princess..."

"The princess doesn't know the identity of my daughter yet. I live in a separate courtyard with her in the name of keeping filial piety, so she doesn't doubt it." Zhao Wuyou squeezed his eyes and smiled bitterly, "I just don't know what the princess will be after three years. Won't you gnash your teeth and wish you could kill me?"

Zhao Song didn't say a word, it seemed that Zhao Wuyou's life was insignificant in his heart, so whether the princess would kill her had nothing to do with him.Zhao Wuyou was used to such indifference, but he still felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

Even if you have a dog, you have raised a dog for 18 years, you should have feelings, right?
But she was a person, a real person, a daughter who would call him father.

So, some people just don't have heart if they don't have heart, don't expect to use your own blood and heart to warm him up.A ruthless person is ruthless in the end, so don't have any hope.

Fortunately, Zhao Wuyou now has no hope for Zhao Song and the entire Zhao family.So even if Zhao Song was like this, she just felt uncomfortable, not sad.

What really made her sad was her dead mother.

How much courage do you need to dare to waste your youth and life, and ruin your life for such a heartless and ungrateful man.

"Does father have any plans?" Zhao Wuyou asked.

Zhao Song stared at her with dark eyes, "Not yet, this matter has to be discussed with the cabinet. The emperor's decree was issued without going through the cabinet. It could have been rejected, but—it has already been announced to the world, and it is still the state. If it is a big matter, if it is dismissed now, it will definitely anger the emperor."

"So it's too late to reject the emperor's will." Zhao Wuyou took over the words, "Father should think about it carefully, how can we make up for it?"

Zhao Song pursed his lips tightly, "You didn't come here just to tell Weifu to be careful of Dongchang, did you?"

Zhao Wuyou smiled and said, "Father thinks that Wuyou is such an afterthought? Who doesn't know to be careful of Dongchang, why should I bring it up again? I came here just to give my father a suggestion, will you? Adoption depends entirely on father's own will."

"What suggestion?" Zhao Song had to admit that although Zhao Wuyou was sickly and couldn't trust everything she said, her mind was extremely good.The city is deep, and sometimes he can really think of places that he can't think of.

"If the imperial court went to negotiate a peace after nine thousand years old, they would definitely send a large army to accompany them. After the thousand-year-old Lord left, father could send a warlord to supervise the army. This would be considered as a hindrance to coerce Mu Baili's reckless behavior." Zhao Wuyou Coughing lightly, "Since the emperor advocates a peace negotiation, he will definitely agree to such a proposal, so as not to slap himself in the face when the time comes."

Zhao Song stared silently.

Zhao Wuyou continued, "The emperor is suspicious, and the military power is in the hands of one person, so he must also be worried. This is also why, over the years, the emperor has not favored anyone, right? Check and balance each other, Mutual restraint can ensure the stability of the court. Dominance by one person is bound to threaten the imperial power of Dao."

Zhao Song always felt that what Zhao Wuyou said was actually for him.But what Zhao Wuyou said was right, if someone in the court covered the sky with one hand, the emperor would definitely worry about his imperial authority.This is also the reason why Zhao Song has always been humble to the emperor despite being in the high cabinet for so many years.

"Okay, I will consider it for my father." Zhao Song stood up, "I will go to the cabinet right away, you go back to deal with the Jiaofang Secretary first, and I will handle the rest as appropriate."

Zhao Wuyou smiled faintly, "Yes!"

After dealing with this matter, Zhao Wuyou thought, it's time to say hello to his superiors.There is no need to rush this matter, you have to take steps at every step, too anxious can easily show your feet.

But there is one thing, Zhao Song is right.

That is the case of Jiaofang Division, which must be concluded as soon as possible.

The Jiaofangsi case was aimed at Zhao Wuyou on the surface, but in fact it meant that Dongchang was a disaster, so Zhao Wuyou was less worried.After all, such a big Dongchang cannot be shaken by anyone who wants to, otherwise Zhao Song and King Qi You wouldn't have to worry so much about Mu Baili's military power.

Walking out of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Zhao Wuyou's feet trembled and he almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, Suxi had quick eyesight and quick hands, and immediately supported Zhao Wuyou.

Sitting on the steps in front of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Zhao Wuyou's face was as pale as paper, and Mu Yao looked at her worriedly, "Sir, what do you think? It really doesn't work, let's take a rest before leaving."

Zhao Wuyou thought, how could he rest?The emperor has issued an imperial decree, and he will leave for it soon.After all, the emperor's desire for this snow fox has long exceeded the worries about whether the two countries will go to war or whether the people will face the flames of war.

With a light sigh, Zhao Wuyou managed to get up, "I'm fine, let's go back!" After thinking for a while, he said, "Princess, you go back to the Shangshu Mansion first, and tell Wen Gu to go to the Jiaofang Secretary, saying that I am teaching Fangsi is waiting for him."

Mu Yao frowned, "You still want to go to Jiaofang Division? Your body..." She was stunned, "What did the Prime Minister say about you?" Mu Yao remembered Zhao Song's attitude at the time and his face when the incident happened. Clearly.

Zhao Song will never give Zhao Wuyou a good face.Sometimes she finds it strange that a loving mother and strict father is a normal thing, but in Zhao Wuyou, what Mu Yao sees is not strict father, but cold-blooded and ruthless.Everyone can see Zhao Wuyou's condition. Could it be that Zhao Song doesn't care about Zhao Wuyou's body at all?

Even an outsider like Mu Yao felt distressed when he saw Zhao Wuyou running around for days, but Zhao Song, as a father, was still aggressive, which was really unimaginable.

Could it be that the people in the high cabinet are already used to such insensitivity?Even his only son has to be forced to die, is it considered peace of mind?
But Mu Yao didn't dare to say these words, after all, even Zhao Wuyou didn't mention a word, so she naturally had to be calm.

"Then I'll go back first, you take care of yourself." Mu Yao warned, "Wen Gu will rush over soon."

Zhao Wuyou nodded, and watched Mu Yao get into the carriage and leave.She was still standing at the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion, looking back at the towering plaque in front of the Prime Minister's Mansion. For her, whether it was the Prime Minister's Mansion or the Shangshu Mansion, the plaque was like a heavy burden, weighing people down.

Taking a deep breath, Zhao Wuyou said, "Let's go!"

Hearing that Zhao Wuyou fell ill again and almost fainted, Wen Gu packed up and rushed to Jiaofangsi.He knew that her body would not be able to bear it, the cold poison in her body was still moving freely, it was rare to be able to slowly alleviate the poison of Wuxiang, and now she had to rely on taking medicine to pretend to be sick, how could her body be able to bear it.

When he arrived at Jiaofang Division, Wen Gu hurriedly went to find Zhao Wuyou.

Inside the Accord, Zhao Wuyou was lying on the soft couch, looking dying.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, she raised her eyelids and looked at Wen Gu who was out of breath.Wen Gu is a martial arts practitioner, and his feet are extremely fast, so it is impossible for him to suffer from breathing disorders. The only possibility is that he ran all the way carrying the medicine box.

"Is there no horse in my Shangshu Mansion?" Zhao Wuyou glanced at him indifferently.

Seeing that she was still awake, Wen Gu breathed a sigh of relief, put down the medicine box and said, "The princess said you almost fainted, am I worried?"

Su Xi chuckled, "What are you worried about? Isn't it because I'm still by your side? If it's not possible, I gave up my inner strength to save you. You said you ran all the way with the medicine box, and people who don't know think it's Jiaofang. There's another homicide case."

With a soft sigh, Wen Gu took the antidote and handed it to Zhao Wuyou, "Take the medicine first, and then I will give you an injection to make the medicine work faster."

Zhao Wuyou nodded, "I'm fine, I just feel a little weak! If you have time, go and see Qu Yun! I hope she can wake up as soon as possible."

"Don't you ever think, my lord, if Qu Yun wants to seek death, even if she wakes up, it won't help." Su Xi hesitated.

"If she wants to die herself, she must have been threatened. Since they are all about to die, it doesn't seem to make much difference who is threatened." Zhao Wuyou said meaningfully, "Isn't it just a word of death? If she really wants to die , I will fulfill her. It's just that she has to die worthwhile."

Su Xi couldn't understand what Zhao Wuyou meant, but she knew that the young master must have plans in mind.

When the medicine started to take effect, Zhao Wuyou felt a little better and felt much more comfortable.The breath held in his chest also eased a lot.

Wen Gu looked at her with frowned eyebrows, and lowered his voice cautiously, "You are so anxious to deal with Jiaofang Secretary's affairs, you are actually worried about Mu Baili, right?" Maybe he was afraid of offending Zhao Wuyou, he looked a bit timid.

A person who has been hunted down by Dongchang for so many years, in front of Zhao Wuyou, is like a child who can make mistakes at any time. He is so cautious that it makes people feel distressed and desolate.

Zhao Wuyou frowned, "Suxi, go to work!" Suxi exited the room knowingly.

Seeing Suxi leave the room, Wen Gu seemed a little nervous, wondering if Zhao Wuyou would be angry again?In the past, when she was angry, she would yell at him and ignore him.

What about now?
Wen Gu's heart skipped a beat, waiting for Zhao Wuyou's censure.

But this time, Zhao Wuyou unexpectedly did not blame him, but sighed softly, "If Mu Baili was your Murong and you were me, would you do everything for her?"

Wen Gu was shocked, "I—"

"Will it be?" Zhao Wuyou asked.

Wen Gu bowed his head and remained silent.

"If you don't deny it, that's acquiescing." Zhao Wuyou leaned on the soft couch, the emotion on his face seemed a little sad, "I don't know when I started to sink into the mud. I might as well tell you, I Giving the jade pendant to him is the same mentality as when you gave the jade pendant to Murong back then."

Wen Gu was shocked, "What did you say? You gave the jade pendant to Mu Baili?"

"This jade pendant was given to Murong by you. It represents your heart and your love. It fell into the hands of my mother somehow, and my mother left it to me as a safe talisman. Here My head is fixed on my mother's love for me. Now I hand it over to Mu Baili, which also means this." Zhao Wuyou said quietly, "I like Mu Baili, the kind I like very much."

"But it's impossible for you to be together. Zhao's family and Dongchang are always at odds." Wen Gu was worried, and then he explained, "I don't think you love the wrong person, but I just think that if you want to be together, it's inevitable." There are many difficulties. This Mu Baili is too..."

Zhao Wuyou smiled wryly, "What's so scary about being so difficult? I just want to ask you one thing. Murong was almost burned at the stake in the past. Were you afraid? Did you ever flinch and hesitate?"

"No." Wen Gu's face paled.

Today's Zhao Wuyou is very strange, talking about Murong all the time, what exactly is she trying to express?

"I hope to have blessings from relatives, but I also understand that my father will never agree." Zhao Wuyou smiled sadly, "Father is my last relative in this world, it's a pity..."

Wen Gu opened his mouth. He really wanted to tell her that no matter what decision she made, he would support her as always and be with her as always.Even if she likes the eunuch, even if she sacrifices herself for Mu Baili, even if she and Mu Baili go through all kinds of hardships, they may not be able to get what they want.But he will still stand behind her, forever!

Seeing that he didn't dare to speak, in a certain position in Zhao Wuyou's life, he had been vacant for more than ten years, which caused her to suffer for 18 years.

He has no qualifications, and he doesn't have the face.

"Actually, as long as the two of you are doing well, your mother will be very pleased." Wen Gu thought, the one who loves Zhao Wuyou the most should be Yang Jinzhi.

"I know mother will be very happy, but I'm not happy." Zhao Wuyou smiled wryly, "Mother can't see, before she died, she couldn't see me put on the wedding dress she made for me .”

After a pause, she turned her head and looked at him meaningfully, "Wen Gu, does Murong look good in her wedding dress?"

Wen Gu laughed suddenly, with a little tear in his eyes, "Why do you suddenly ask this?"

"Does it look good?" she continued to ask.

Wen Gu nodded again and again, "It looks good, it looks good."

Zhao Wuyou responded in a low voice, "I've seen Mu Baili wearing a wedding dress, and it's really pretty. Wen Gu, does this count as beauty in the eye of the beholder? What you like is always the best .”

"But they are indeed the best." Wen Gu choked up, looking at Zhao Wuyou with tears in his eyes.

"Actually, I'm curious, why didn't you persuade me to leave Mu Baili?" Zhao Wuyou corrected his posture.

Wen Gu was taken aback for a moment, Zhao Wuyou's mood changed too fast, and he couldn't accept it for a while.His body froze, Wen Gu didn't know which one is the real Zhao Wuyou, just now or just now?Was what she said just now true or false?Or is it a test?

He hesitated for a while, speechless for a moment.

"Mu Baili is insidious and cunning, cruel and merciless, aren't you afraid that he is with me, is there a conspiracy?" Zhao Wuyou turned his face too quickly, and Wen Gu couldn't hold on.

"No." Wen Gu said, "He should, should also like you!"

"Why do you know that?" Zhao Wuyou got up, exhaled a long breath, and stretched comfortably, "Originally, they are all members of the imperial court, and what they care about is the power struggle. How can there be sincerity?"

"Then you just—" Wen Gu was puzzled and at a loss.

"I was just kidding with you just now, do you really take it seriously?" Zhao Wuyou poured a glass of water calmly and drank it to himself, "It was just a test to test you, who knew that you also turned your elbows outward, You actually really thought I liked Mu Baili. Why, you want to use me to curry favor with Mu Baili and end your grievances with Dongchang? Huh?"

Wen Gu was shocked, "I didn't mean that, I just think that as long as you are happy, nothing is more important than your happiness. The relationship between me and Dongchang has been going on for a long time, and there is no need to end it. But It's just a life, and it's always insignificant compared to your happiness."

"Then how do you determine that Mu Baili is not using me?" Zhao Wuyou sneered twice, "That guy is used to tricks, and he has a lot of tricks. If he wants to use me to attack the prime minister's mansion, so as to gain power in the court, Then I guess I will die without a burial place."

"Absolutely not." Wen Gu said firmly.

"Because he told you that he wanted to go to Huanglan to fetch Xuehu for me?" Zhao Wuyou stared at Wen Gu quietly.

"Yes..." Wen Gu was dumb.

Suddenly, he suddenly realized that he was being tricked by Zhao Wuyou, and - Zhao Wuyou succeeded.Seeing the expression on her face and her tightly pursed lips, he knew that Zhao Wuyou couldn't hide it.

This girl can almost be described as cunning, focusing on her heart with every word.

She is emotional, makes you deep in it, is aggressive, and makes you unable to resist.

Wen Gu sighed and sat down helplessly, "Why do you insist on knowing?"

"Because I think it is necessary for me to know what kind of sacrifices the person I like has made for me behind the scenes. I can't be kept in the dark after he has done everything for me." Zhao Wuyou narrowed his eyes, " I don't like the feeling of being lied to, even if you think it's well-intentioned."

She thought that one day, they should also have a taste of how deeply the so-called white lies hurt people.

Wen Gu looked at Zhao Wuyou steadfastly, "Your temperament is very similar to Murong's, and you are so stubborn that it makes people speechless."

"Stubbornness has its benefits, at least sincerity." Zhao Wuyou took a deep breath, "You already knew that Mu Baili was going to Huanglan to fetch the snow fox for me, didn't you?"

Wen Yu said nothing.

"Okay, then let me ask in another way." Zhao Wuyou said, "What is the function of the snow fox? Can it cure the cold poison in my body and revive the butterfly Gu? If you promise Mu Baili, you will keep the secret for him, That's no problem, just answer me yes or no."

Wen Gu hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "Yes!"

Zhao Wuyou sighed and didn't ask any more questions.

It is enough to have this answer, but judging from the situation, Mu Baili seems to have made all the plans. Did he go to Huanglan with the idea of ​​narrow escape?

The room was silent for a while, Su Xi knocked on the door and entered, "Master, it's already done."

Zhao Wuyou nodded, "That's good." Er Er looked at Wen Gu, "Go and see Qu Yun! Make sure she wakes up, this matter can't be delayed any longer."

Wen Gu opened his mouth, but all the words were stuck in his throat, unable to swallow or spit out.That's all!No matter what she said before, which one is true and which one is false, just follow her.

He still said the same thing: as long as she is happy, as long as she is happy, nothing else matters.

Using and being used has nothing to do with each other.

When he stepped out of the room, Zhao Wuyou glanced back at Wen Gu, and suddenly said, "I haven't dreamed of Murong for a long time, do you think she is still there?"

Wen Gu was startled, unable to answer.

Zhao Wuyou has left in a huff, and doesn't seem to care about Wen Gu's answer.In Wen Gu's eyes, Zhao Wuyou's behavior seemed more and more strange.

Qu Yun was still in a coma, so Wen Gu felt his pulse and said that the toxin was gradually peeling off. If he could wake up in the past two days, then there would be no problem.

"Where's that batch of money?" Zhao Wuyou asked.

Wen Gu quickly exited the room and stood guard outside.

Suxi said, "According to the location that Lord Qiantui said, the people sent by the humble job have already found the batch of silver." She put one of the ingots from her sleeve on the table, "It's tens of thousands of taels at least. .”

Zhao Wuyou's fingertips lightly brushed the white silver ingot, "The color is good and the weight is sufficient. It seems that the other party has spent a lot of money." She thought, there must be a good place for this matter.If you can't spread it on your own head, then it can only fall on other people's heads.

This matter of framing is just to see who is more unlucky.

"Young master?" Su Xi said, "Lu Guoan had someone carefully seal up the cellar, so the Jinyiwei people failed to find out the location of the cellar, but as time goes by, it is inevitable that there will be mistakes."

"So, our speed has to be fast." Zhao Wuyou whispered, staring at the silver ingot in his hand thoughtfully, "A while ago, the emperor filled the harem, and the household department was selected by order, and it must have received a lot of benefits. Bar?"

Su Xi nodded, "Naturally, all the good and bad ones were sent to the palace, so they must have taken a lot of money."

"The household department is my Zhao family's source of income. If the household department is cut off, I don't know if my father will go to the doctor in a hurry?" Zhao Wuyou smiled sinisterly. It has its own special stamp."

She looked at Su Xi meaningfully, "Do you know what I mean?"

Suxi was stunned, and looked at Zhao Wuyou hesitantly, "Master, are you sure you want to break ground on Xiangye's head? If Xiangye finds out, I'm afraid..."

"Even if my father finds out, it's Dongchang's doing, what does it have to do with me?" Zhao Wuyou smiled coldly, "The emperor decided to let Mu Baili go on an envoy to Huanglan, so he will definitely have the military power in his hands. If my father rashly impeaches Mu Baili at this moment, it will only annoy the emperor. It will delay the emperor's great cause of cultivating immortals, and no one's brain will work."

Su Xi nodded, "Young Master's words are very true."

"I want to move this stall to the Xiangfu's head, and then clean myself up. I also have to let my father knock out his teeth and swallow it, and he doesn't dare to attack Dongchang." Zhao Wuyou's eyes were ruthless, " All the key lies in the emperor. After all, the king is the king, who dares to make mistakes!"

She tossed the silver ingot to Su Xi, "Do it carefully, don't show your feet, or you will fall short in time."

Su Xi nodded, this matter really needs to be more careful.
