Chapter 269 We Are Even
"My lord, what's the matter?" Suxi stepped forward, "Is there something wrong? Let's go in and take medicine..."
Zhao Wuyou suddenly laughed, and when he looked back at Su Xi and Wen Gu, he smiled evilly, "Okay, let's go in now."
Su Xi was startled, and exchanged a glance with Wen Gu, the young master's expression seemed a bit wrong now!What's the matter, son?Su Xi felt flustered, just don't let something serious happen.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Wuyou entered the Shangshu Mansion through the main entrance, changed his clothes again, and walked out through the back door of the Shangshu Mansion.
"My lord, what are you going to do?" Su Xi was puzzled.
"Follow and you'll know." Zhao Wuyou walked forward slowly, "Earlier, I was thinking that if I accidentally led the disaster to myself, how could I divert it? Now I figured it out, This is both true and false.”
Wen Gu also didn't understand what tricks Zhao Wuyou was playing, "What do you mean by that?"
"Go to King Qi You's mansion, even if I didn't cooperate with King Qi You, I seem to be sneaky now, and I'm afraid it's a certain fact in the ears of the emperor." Zhao Wuyou smiled, "What do you think? "
If it wasn't for the ghost in his heart, why did he go to Qi You Palace secretly.A person of Zhao Wuyou's status can go to Prince Qi You's mansion in a dignified way, why bother to enter through the back door of Prince Qi You's mansion?
Regarding the fact that Zhao Wuyou came in through the back door, Xiao Rong also felt very strange, what kind of tricks was this Zhao Wuyou playing.Could it be that they had to come in through the back door because they had something important to discuss?
After all, I am also a mole who can't see the light, so when I think about problems, I always feel a little bit shady.
Looking at Zhao Wuyou in front of him, a slight smile appeared on Xiao Rong's pale face, "What are you doing, Mr. Zhao? Dressed up like this, so careful. Could it be that the main entrance of this king's mansion is too small, and this statue of Mr. Zhao is too small?" Can't the Buddha enter?"
"It's not that the gate of the palace is too small, but that this official has too many things in his heart. If he is not careful, he may be caught." Zhao Wuyou saluted, "This official is here this time. , one is to visit the sick, and the other... is to tell the prince that the emperor has just summoned the lower officials to enter the palace, and is planning to let the lower officials join forces with Dongchang."
Xiao Rong squinted his dangerous eyes, "Master Zhao is not a good joke at all, what is joining forces with Dongchang? It is well known that your Zhao family is not at ease with Dongchang, but now you want to join forces , isn’t this slapping your father, Prime Minister Zhao, in the face?”
"The lower official originally refused, but the emperor's life is in his body, so there is no choice." Zhao Wuyou sighed softly, "So I really have no choice but to come to the prince to ask the prince to give me some advice, and to teach me when I go back. This is my father's punishment."
Xiao Rong paused for a moment, "Master Zhao is extremely intelligent, when do you need someone to point you in the right direction?"
"Don't you hear that a wise man will make a mistake if he thinks a lot, and the officials don't dare to be extremely smart in front of the prince. These four words are really disgraceful to the officials." Zhao Wuyou leaned forward and bowed, "This time, the officials are sincerely visiting. , did not deliver the invitation in advance, and I hope the prince will forgive me."
"Then I'm curious, why did the emperor ask Mr. Zhao to join hands with Dongchang?" Even a fool should know that this matter must not be simple.But what Zhao Wuyou said, you can't believe it or not, after all, you have to be vigilant, so as not to be caught by her if you don't carelessly.
Zhao Wuyou sighed lightly, "Hasn't your lord heard the rumors in Jianghu?"
"What rumors?" Xiao Rong asked knowingly, knowing, "These days, the king has been recuperating in the mansion, and he has never even stepped out of the gate of the mansion. How can he know what the rumors are. I just don't know, what rumors even took the emperor's heart. , and specially asked Mr. Zhao to cooperate with Dongchang?"
After all, being able to mobilize the East Factory is no small matter.
Zhao Wuyou showed a masculine look on his face, and coughed twice, "Since the lord doesn't know anything, then Wuyou will start from the beginning and talk to the lord in detail, and I hope the lord won't be too wordy."
"It's okay!" Xiao Rong said, "I'm bored when I'm idle, I should just listen to the playbook."
Zhao Wuyou nodded, and said while sitting upright, "Recently, there have been people from all over the world walking outside the capital, and everyone has heard a rumor that the one who wins the brocade box wins the world. No one knows what this brocade box is. I've seen it before, but the word "world" is really easy to make people red-eyed and dark-hearted."
"The emperor got the news somehow, so he asked Eunuch De to summon the officials to the palace to meet him. When the officials entered the palace, Eunuch De said that the emperor was furious. This rumor is undoubtedly a rebellion. The emperor is naturally Long Yan. furious."
"The emperor asked the subordinate officials to thoroughly investigate this matter. It is necessary to find out who is spreading rumors behind their backs. This kind of thieves with ulterior motives must be brought to justice. However, the subordinate officials are not healthy enough to thoroughly investigate such things. Too much heart but not enough energy.”
Speaking of this, Zhao Wuyou got up with a face of shame, and bowed respectfully to Xiao Rong, "Your Majesty, I'm sorry, my lord."
Xiao Rong was startled, "Master Zhao, what is the meaning of this?"
Zhao Wuyou pursed her lips, her face was a little sour, "The lower official was in a hurry at the time, thinking that with the ability of the prince, he would be able to handle this matter properly, so he recommended the prince to the emperor." She paused deliberately, "However, the emperor... "
"Lord Zhao, this king is sick in bed, how can I have extra energy to fiddle with these things, aren't you trying to trick this king?" Xiao Rong's displeasure was clearly on his face.
Zhao Wuyou immediately apologized, "Your Majesty, forgive me, it's because I didn't think carefully, it's my fault."
"What did the emperor say?" What Xiao Rong wanted to know most was the emperor's reaction after hearing it.
The emperor was not an idiot either. He was able to rest assured of the government despite not caring about the government these years. It was nothing more than the feeling that the several forces in the court were doing their own thing and hindering each other, so no one could bite the other, so as to maintain the balance of power in the court.
This Shangshu Mansion was originally a subsidiary of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and now it cooperates with King Qi You's Mansion to deal with Dongchang together.In the event of Dongchang's defeat, the so-called tripartite situation will be broken, and the emperor's mutual restraint policy will also fail.
That's why the emperor was very reluctant to unite these forces. As long as they kept fighting, his throne would always be secure.
Taking a deep breath, Zhao Wuyou said, "The emperor was furious, and reprimanded the subordinates. The subordinates have never seen the emperor's anger so much, even if the subordinates were hit by a board that time, it was never so frightening .”
Xiao Rong's body tensed slightly, "Really?"
"Yes!" Zhao Wuyou bowed his head, "If it wasn't for the emperor being angry, how could the subordinate officials be uneasy. After all, the prince is the emperor's brother and sister. There are some things that are not convenient for us foreign ministers to say, but the prince is fine. It is the subordinate officials this time. I came here to ask for favors from the lord. My lord, do you think that in the future, can I speak a few words of kindness in front of the emperor in place of an official? Zhao Wuyou, I am very grateful."
Xiao Rong narrowed his eyes and stared at Zhao Wuyou, seeing her frowning slightly, he was a little dazed.He fixedly watched her frown slightly, and watched her slightly pursed her lips in thought, but another person's frown and smile appeared in his mind.
It's really hard to get rid of the demons, and it's the best if you can't get it.
Sighing softly, Xiao Rong sneered, "I ask myself that the relationship with Mr. Zhao is not so good. Mr. Zhao has the prime minister as the master, when will we need to compromise like this?"
Zhao Wuyou smiled wryly, "My lord doesn't know, my father has been convalescing in the mansion, he really dare not disturb me as a son. Earlier, my father scolded me, now I don't dare to annoy him anymore. Are you looking for bad luck? You are here to try your luck when you come to Prince Qiyou's mansion today."
"To tell you the truth, Wuyou is feeling uneasy right now, and I really don't know what to say. Cooperation with Dongchang is not what Wuyou wanted, but I want to push it away, but the emperor dare not speak. After thinking about it, I really I don't know what to do, I hope the prince can point out the way and give me a hand."
"The Princess is Wuyou's wife. Speaking of which, the Shangshu Mansion and Prince Qi You's Mansion are also brothers-in-law. Look, my lord..."
Xiao Rong looked at her with raised eyebrows, "Master Zhao moved out the Princess?"
"Don't dare!" Zhao Wuyou bowed his head, "If it wasn't for the last resort, how would the subordinate officials dare to work for the princess."
"You really don't want to cooperate with Dongchang?" Xiao Rong asked.
Zhao Wuyou sighed softly, "I don't want to! I have cooperated with Dongchang twice earlier and already angered my father. If I teach my father to know that I have something to do with Dongchang this time, then my father will take my skin off. "
"Is your father so worried about you?" Xiao Rong frowned.
Zhao Wuyou smiled wryly, "I am the only heir in the Zhao family, so it is only natural for my father to think so. If I make any mistakes or make mistakes, it will implicate the prime minister's mansion and the entire Zhao family. The Zhao family can have today's status It's really not easy, and it's reasonable for my father not to let me take risks."
"Who doesn't know that Nine Thousand Years is a murderer without blinking an eye. If you accidentally provoke him, the consequences will be disastrous. What's more, now that he is receiving the favor of the Holy One, everyone will have to avoid his edge. "
Xiao Rong pondered, did Zhao Wuyou really come to ask him to intercede for her?How come these words are tight and clear?However, Zhao Song is indeed a cool person, Xiao Rong really agrees with Zhao Wuyou's statement on this point.
If Zhao Wuyou didn't do what Zhao Song wanted, he would really be skinned by Zhao Song.
"I'm afraid I can't help you with this matter." Xiao Rong rubbed his brows, looking extremely tired, "Master Zhao, let's find another way of life!"
"My lord?" Zhao Wuyou was taken aback, "My lord, this is..."
"I am not feeling well myself, how can I help you?" Xiao Rong sneered twice, "Master Zhao should go and ask the Prime Minister!"
Zhao Wuyou straightened up, showing embarrassment, "Since the lord—then I will take my leave first!" After speaking, he let out a long sigh, and walked out with a sad face.
"Lord Zhao!" Xiao Rong shouted.
Zhao Wuyou frowned and looked back at him, with a calm but dark expression, "What else does the lord want?"
"This king just thinks that since it is the emperor's order, why don't Master Zhao take over and get the brocade box one step earlier than Dongchang, isn't it just a good solution to your suspicion of having an affair with Dongchang? Then go to the emperor In front of you, the emperor will definitely be very satisfied with Mr. Zhao's intelligence. And Mr. Prime Minister, he will also be very happy if you think about it." Xiao Rong looked at her with a smile.
Zhao Wuyou spit inwardly: Eat things that don't spit out bones.
There was a faint smile on his face, "Thank you, my lord, for your guidance. Since I can't push it away, I have no choice but to go up against the difficulties. I will go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to plead guilty first, and leave!"
Watching Zhao Wuyou leave, Xiao Rong's face darkened, "What on earth is this little fox trying to do? Could it be that she suspects that this king has leaked the news into the palace?" He turned to Hu Qing and said, "Order to go down and investigate to the end. Who broke the news into the palace. Is it Dongchang or the Prime Minister's Mansion? Or is it Zhao Wuyou's suspicion?"
But no matter which one, it is very possible.
"Yes!" Hu Qing nodded.
Coming out of Prince Qi You's mansion, Zhao Wuyou's pale face showed no trace of blood.
"How?" Su Xi hurriedly supported Zhao Wuyou who was on the verge of falling, and sat down on the steps at the corner of the street, "Young master, rest for a while, don't worry."
"At least I'm sure of one thing. It's not Xiao Rong who broke into the palace. It seems to be my father." She knew very well that Mu Baili would definitely greet her after doing these things, and the news didn't come in by herself. Yes, the only thing left is the surprisingly quiet Prime Minister's Mansion.
Su Xi was puzzled, "Why did Master Xiang do this?"
"He's throwing stones to ask for directions." Zhao Wuyou sneered, "The old fox's calculations are crackling, and he probably also discovered the hidden guards of Prince Qiyou's mansion, otherwise how would he know about the brocade box?"
Suddenly, Zhao Wuyou stiffened slightly, "Zhao Song—do you know the brocade box?"
"That is to say, the prime minister has always known that the candidate for the throne favored by the late emperor is not actually the current emperor?" Su Xi only felt her scalp go numb, "Then this prime minister..."
Hearing this, Zhao Wuyou stood up, his face even whiter than white, "What the hell did he do?"
Wen Gu sneered, "What else can I do? It's obvious that I don't do good deeds. If I don't keep everything in order, I will steal the day and change the day, and the country will change hands."
Su Xi immediately looked around, "You are crazy, dare to say such a thing!"
"Let's go!" Zhao Wuyou straightened his face and walked away.
It seems that I have to go back and ask Lian Ming carefully, did his mother say anything else when he was alive?Zhao Wuyou always felt that there was something wrong here, especially because Zhao Song knew everything about this matter like the back of his hand.
Zhao Wuyou had just learned about this edict, and judging by the emperor's expression, it seemed that he didn't know about it either.
After entering Tingfeng Tower, Zhao Wuyou took the medicine, and only then did he catch his breath.Leaning on the soft couch in the pear orchard, covered with a thin blanket, dying, he was extremely tired.
"How long do you have to pretend to be sick? Do you have to drink medicine every time you go out?" Wen Gu felt distressed, and carefully wiped the thin sweat on her forehead with a wet towel.
Zhao Wuyou half-closed his brows and eyes, "Is there a better way? I can't cover the sky with one hand, so I have to compromise. Since I was born, this has been the law of survival."
Su Xi handed over a glass of water, "Your Majesty, do you feel better?"
Closing his eyes, Zhao Wuyou nodded, "It's nothing serious, you go and call Lian Ming, I have something to ask."
"Yes!" Su Xi turned and left.
It's just that no one expected that Lian Ming was not in the mansion.Mu Yao said that recently he always went to a teahouse to hear about the book, and he was very excited when he heard it, and often people would leave and would not leave.
Su Xi was puzzled, "Sure enough, if there is one, there must be a pair. The two brothers and sisters really have the same interests and hobbies, and they both like listening to books so much. In other words, the opera books in the capital are just like that. It's really nothing. Xinyi, I have listened to it a few times, but I can't sit still after hearing a few words."
Zhao Wuyou smiled, "Naturally, you are used to being promiscuous, and of course it is different from those young masters and ladies. But this Lian Ming is really strange. Is he still unclear about his identity? He has to go outside to show off, no matter what In the eyes of people in the sunset, there will be big troubles at that time."
"This also just shows that he never told anyone about what he mentioned to the young master." Su Xi said.
Zhao Wuyou took a deep breath, "Then I'll wait for him. When will he come back? When will he let me know? There are some things that you should ask carefully." After a pause, Zhao Wuyou propped himself up and half sat down "I—ask a question."
Wen Gu nodded, "That's what you say, now I've told you my biggest secret, there's really no need to hide anything from you."
"Is there anyone in your Wu family or the Tilan royal family who defected? For example, did you make a big mistake and be expelled from the country?" Zhao Wuyou pursed his lips and asked in a low voice.
She didn't know how to describe the big mistake that Lian Ming said.It must be an unforgivable big mistake to be driven to Daye and be reduced to prostitution alone and helpless!
"Expulsion?" Wen Gu thought for a while, "You mean, he broke the clan rules and was expelled?"
"Yes, and they must be expelled from Tilan, and they are not allowed to stay in the Wu clan. They belong to the kind of people who are driven away and leave their homes." Zhao Wuyou described, "Is there such a woman?"
"I have to think about it." Wen Gu said, "When I left Tilan in the past, I was young and energetic, and I really didn't know much about some things. Fortunately, my father is the head of the clan. Still know better."
"Woman? Made a mistake? Was expelled from the witch clan and expelled from the border of Tilan? It seems, it seems that there is such a person. It seems that there is, yes, if you want to ask about the previous goddess before Murong, That’s probably about the same.”
"The former goddess?" Zhao Wuyou frowned, "Is she also from the Wu clan?"
Wen Gu nodded, "It's from the Witch Clan, and her talents are not inferior to your mother's at all."
Zhao Wuyou became interested, "Can you tell me what this goddess looks like and what she is capable of?"
"She can't be considered a goddess, otherwise this butterfly Gu wouldn't fall on your mother." Wen Gu recalled carefully, "Once a generation of goddess succeeds, they will start looking for the next goddess. After all, to inherit the butterfly Gu, you must have this person." The roots and bones are excellent, only if the Butterfly Gu can be raised well."
"At that time, there was a woman from the Witch Clan, who seemed to be called Zhaoxue. I had never seen her before. After all, I only cared about your mother at that time, and I had no time to care about others. This woman seemed to be born in Xuetian, so she was named Zhaoxue. You should know, Tilan seldom snows, so the tribe thinks this is auspicious."
"In fact, Zhaoxue is indeed very capable. Her comprehension is the highest among the Wu Clan, but there are also many tribes in the Wu Clan. He is not in my father's tribe, but as the leader of the tribe, my father still has to confirm it himself. Is this woman really capable of taking on the role of a goddess?"
"If it's feasible, then we should focus on cultivation, and then she will be the successor goddess. My father left, and when he came back, he was very happy. When he mentioned Zhaoxue, he was full of praise. He can be regarded as the most aura in my witch clan."
Suxi was startled, "If Miss Zhaoxue succeeds Goddess, then there is nothing wrong with you?"
Wen Gu nodded, "That's right, that's true."
"Leave the good goddess alone, what did she do to escape?" Su Xi asked again.
Wen Gu sighed softly, "I only sigh that people who are too smart are somewhat conceited. She has become famous in the Wu clan, but she always hopes to see the scenery outside the desert, and always envies Daye's country and people. This probably corresponds to a saying that you often say, home flowers are not as fragrant as wild flowers. Those that are too easy to get are always considered not good enough, and those that are not easy to get are the love of the heart."
"She fell in love with a man?" Zhao Wuyou's eyes darkened, "If you want to leave Tilan, is it equivalent to betraying your witch clan?"
"I heard that's the case!" Wen Gu shook his head, "I don't know the specifics, but in short, she was kicked out. I heard that she really went to Daye, and then there was no news about her."
Zhao Wuyou frowned, "Then you Wu Clan, do many people know about this?"
"Not many, most of them are just legends!" Wen Gu smiled wryly, "Just like you, they all say that family ugliness should not be publicized, so such things should not be easily publicized to the outside world, so even Tilan's royal family I'm afraid they don't even know that there is a woman named Zhaoxue in the Wu Clan."
"That is to say, there is no time to report it?" Zhao Wuyou said.
"She is not yet old enough to inherit the Butterfly Gu, so out of caution, my father did not dare to report it to the imperial court, lest in case something unexpected happens in the future, it will be too late to regret." Wen Gu sighed softly, "Fortunately, he did not report it to the court. , otherwise the face of the witch clan would have been lost long ago, and the Tilan royal family would have reprimanded my father. This matter was covered up like this, and it was also because of this that your mother was able to succeed the goddess because she couldn't find a goddess. "
Zhao Wuyou paused, "You said just now that succession to the Butterfly Gu requires age."
"Yes!" Wen Gu nodded, "The Butterfly Gu is a sacred object of the witch clan and cannot be easily inherited. It exists in the body, and the Goddess is only used as a vessel for raising the Gu, otherwise the Butterfly Gu will be absorbed, and there will be no more butterflies at that time." Bewitched."
"When you reach a certain age and are well versed in the way of raising Gu, you can accept the entry of Butterfly Gu through specific rituals. Like you, it is considered an adventure." Wen Gu said, "Do you know why Zhao Song has to freeze it all the time?" Butterfly Gu?"
Zhao Wuyou said, "It's not to prevent the Butterfly Gu from becoming enlightened, and someone will notice it and steal it."
Wen Gu smiled wryly, "In the past, I couldn't figure it out. How did your father know that the Butterfly Gu would freeze under the cold poison? Now I think it's probably because your mother knew she was going to die, so she risked planting the Butterfly Gu in your body." Body. Because you are too young to bear it at all, so she used all her life's power to lock the butterfly Gu."
"Or you were already dead at the time, and it was your mother's butterfly Gu that gave you a glimmer of life. But the Gu is too violent and your body is too weak, so it will cause certain damage to your body and even your memory."
"You mean memory?" Zhao Wuyou was stunned, "It may be so, so I don't have any memories of my childhood. Since I was sensible, my mother has been living in Yun'an Temple. I don't have any memory of those times before. Can't remember at all."
Wen Gu was helpless, "There are advantages and disadvantages. There are some things in this world that are not so easy to get. Butterfly Gu inherited all your mother's hard work, so it came to you..."
Suxi hurriedly said, "Did that girl Zhaoxue never show up again?"
"Since you betrayed the Wu Clan, you will naturally be expelled. No one knows what happened afterwards. Anyway, she no longer belongs to the Wu Clan, so her life and death have nothing to do with us." Wen Gu said, "However, before she leaves, she must also make a heavy oath. After leaving Tilan, she will never use Gu to poison people. This is the most unviolable family rule of the witch clan!"
"Whoever dares to use Gu poison to harm people is the enemy of our Wu Clan, and will be cursed by the Wu Clan for life and life. Although the Wu Clan is committed to Gu poison, they never harm people easily."
Zhao Wuyou laughed mockingly, "How about your second senior brother?"
Wen Gu's face turned hot, "He? Naturally, he is an enemy of the Wu Clan. If he can fall into my hands in the future, I will teach him what it is like to have thousands of snakes and ten thousand poisonous Gu."
"What?" Su Xi was startled, "What kind of snake?"
"Thousands of snakes and ten thousand poisonous Gu!" Wen Gu smiled coldly, "This is the cruelest punishment of the Wu Clan. It is to feed people Gu, and then throw them into the snake den to be eaten by thousands of poisonous snakes. You must know, wait After people are eaten up, these snakes will become the best snake Gu."
Su Xi pouted, "It's disgusting."
"Otherwise, how do you say that Northern Xinjiang is a land of barbarians?" Wen Gu smiled helplessly, "But I only heard about this punishment from my father and the older generation. No one has ever tried it."
"That's not bad, otherwise it would be much more severe than that Dongchang's punishment. This murder is nothing more than nodding your head, you - you really think that life is worse than death. You were frightened to death, then you were bitten to death, and finally Seeing myself being gnawed bit by bit, I became a Gu in the belly of the snake." Suxi sighed softly, "This snake Gu is really scary."
Wen Gu let out a long breath, "Sometimes, torture is necessary, otherwise everyone will mess around, isn't this witch clan messed up? Everyone can refine Gu and use Gu. If there is no restraint, I am afraid it will cause disaster to the world long ago." But if you want to forbid the clansmen to refine Gu, I am afraid that this skill will be lost. Without the slightest ability, how can the Wu clan become the guardians of the Tilan royal family?"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Wuyou suddenly laughed.
"Young master laughed when he heard the guardian. This is really a repayment of the father's debt." Su Xi joked.
Zhao Wuyou chuckled lightly, "Slick tone."
Wen Gu was taken aback for a moment, and then smiled awkwardly: Father's debt and daughter's repayment.
Speaking of it, it seems that this is really the case.
Lian Ming never came back, Mu Yao was also waiting at the other end, she thought that Zhao Wuyou was so anxious to find his brother-in-law, there must be something wrong.But she didn't dare to go out of Shangshu's mansion to show off outside, after all, Lian Ming said that the people from Qiyou's mansion have been active in the capital recently.
"Why haven't you come back yet?" Mu Yao curled her lips, "Huo Huo, take someone to look for it, it's not convenient for me to go out here."
Huo Huo had a sour taste, "The princess just treats my uncle well. If my uncle says a word, the princess is worried until now. This eldest son has two legs, and it's not that he can't walk back, so he has to go pick him up himself."
"Why, Miss Huo, you really beat me to death?" Mu Yao tilted her head to look at her.
Huo Huo chuckled, "What is the princess talking about, the servant is just complaining, and the servant will go." After finishing speaking, the little girl ran away in a hurry, but Shen Yan, who was holding the broom, was taken aback.
In such a hurry to find someone, it must have happened.
Lian Ming is the righteous brother of the princess, he is considered to be half a relative of the emperor, and he looks good. Could it be that this Zhao Wuyou - he thought to himself, maybe he wants to have two boats at once?
Relying on his elder brother's inability to use force these few days, and being entangled in the matter of Huanglan, he couldn't come to the Shangshu Mansion, so Zhao Wuyou was lonely and cold for a while?
Thinking about it this way, Shen Yan felt that Zhao Wuyou was nothing!Pick good-looking ones to start with!
"Hey!" Without paying attention, Mu Yao had already stood in front of him, "I asked you to sweep the floor, why are you in a daze? Why don't you sweep the floor quickly? From your look, are you planning something again? I don't know. Let me tell you, I will always keep an eye on you, if you dare to take advantage of this Shangshufu, dare to touch my husband, I will never forgive you."
Shen Yan gave her a cold look, "The princess thinks that her husband is a baby, but others may not think so. Your husband, I don't have to make up my mind."
That was the elder brother's idea. If he dared to move his mind, it might be his own legs that were hit.
Brother, will break his leg.
Seeing Shen Yan's snort, Mu Yao was furious, "Don't think I don't know, you look like an upright gentleman, but in reality? You're just a prodigal, good at hands and feet."
Shen Yan clenched the broom in his hand, remembering the frivolity he had treated Mu Yao that day—not so frivolous.
He coughed softly, "That—the princess, that day's humble job was not intentional, that—"
"Shut up!" Mu Yao yelled, "If you dare to mention what happened that day again, I will pull out your tongue and feed it to the dog."
"The princess is of noble birth, sometimes it's better to pay attention to your manners!" Shen Yan turned and left holding the broom.
Mu Yao became anxious and kicked over.
But Shen Yan is not a real wooden stake, he can stand there and kick it with you.After all, he is also a thousand householder in Dongchang, and Mu Baili personally taught him his kung fu, so if he can be kicked like this, he would be useless.
Shen Yan turned his body away, perfectly dodging Mu Yao's kick.
"How dare you hide!" Mu Yao casually took out the whip behind her, even though one arm was hanging, the other arm was still usable.When the whip came down, Shen Yan immediately blocked it with the broom in his hand, and directly threw the broom in two, and there was also a bloodstain on the left side of his face.
Although it's not heavy, but - after all, it's on the face, it doesn't look good to anyone.
Mu Yao was taken aback, didn't he know how to dodge just now?Why don't you hide this time?Fortunately, she collected it faster just now, otherwise... the consequences would be disastrous.
With a cold face, Shen Yan raised his hand to touch the bloodstains on his face, the light in his eyes was terribly cold, "Does this whip count as an arm for the princess? Let the princess whip me, and we're even. .”
(End of this chapter)
"My lord, what's the matter?" Suxi stepped forward, "Is there something wrong? Let's go in and take medicine..."
Zhao Wuyou suddenly laughed, and when he looked back at Su Xi and Wen Gu, he smiled evilly, "Okay, let's go in now."
Su Xi was startled, and exchanged a glance with Wen Gu, the young master's expression seemed a bit wrong now!What's the matter, son?Su Xi felt flustered, just don't let something serious happen.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Wuyou entered the Shangshu Mansion through the main entrance, changed his clothes again, and walked out through the back door of the Shangshu Mansion.
"My lord, what are you going to do?" Su Xi was puzzled.
"Follow and you'll know." Zhao Wuyou walked forward slowly, "Earlier, I was thinking that if I accidentally led the disaster to myself, how could I divert it? Now I figured it out, This is both true and false.”
Wen Gu also didn't understand what tricks Zhao Wuyou was playing, "What do you mean by that?"
"Go to King Qi You's mansion, even if I didn't cooperate with King Qi You, I seem to be sneaky now, and I'm afraid it's a certain fact in the ears of the emperor." Zhao Wuyou smiled, "What do you think? "
If it wasn't for the ghost in his heart, why did he go to Qi You Palace secretly.A person of Zhao Wuyou's status can go to Prince Qi You's mansion in a dignified way, why bother to enter through the back door of Prince Qi You's mansion?
Regarding the fact that Zhao Wuyou came in through the back door, Xiao Rong also felt very strange, what kind of tricks was this Zhao Wuyou playing.Could it be that they had to come in through the back door because they had something important to discuss?
After all, I am also a mole who can't see the light, so when I think about problems, I always feel a little bit shady.
Looking at Zhao Wuyou in front of him, a slight smile appeared on Xiao Rong's pale face, "What are you doing, Mr. Zhao? Dressed up like this, so careful. Could it be that the main entrance of this king's mansion is too small, and this statue of Mr. Zhao is too small?" Can't the Buddha enter?"
"It's not that the gate of the palace is too small, but that this official has too many things in his heart. If he is not careful, he may be caught." Zhao Wuyou saluted, "This official is here this time. , one is to visit the sick, and the other... is to tell the prince that the emperor has just summoned the lower officials to enter the palace, and is planning to let the lower officials join forces with Dongchang."
Xiao Rong squinted his dangerous eyes, "Master Zhao is not a good joke at all, what is joining forces with Dongchang? It is well known that your Zhao family is not at ease with Dongchang, but now you want to join forces , isn’t this slapping your father, Prime Minister Zhao, in the face?”
"The lower official originally refused, but the emperor's life is in his body, so there is no choice." Zhao Wuyou sighed softly, "So I really have no choice but to come to the prince to ask the prince to give me some advice, and to teach me when I go back. This is my father's punishment."
Xiao Rong paused for a moment, "Master Zhao is extremely intelligent, when do you need someone to point you in the right direction?"
"Don't you hear that a wise man will make a mistake if he thinks a lot, and the officials don't dare to be extremely smart in front of the prince. These four words are really disgraceful to the officials." Zhao Wuyou leaned forward and bowed, "This time, the officials are sincerely visiting. , did not deliver the invitation in advance, and I hope the prince will forgive me."
"Then I'm curious, why did the emperor ask Mr. Zhao to join hands with Dongchang?" Even a fool should know that this matter must not be simple.But what Zhao Wuyou said, you can't believe it or not, after all, you have to be vigilant, so as not to be caught by her if you don't carelessly.
Zhao Wuyou sighed lightly, "Hasn't your lord heard the rumors in Jianghu?"
"What rumors?" Xiao Rong asked knowingly, knowing, "These days, the king has been recuperating in the mansion, and he has never even stepped out of the gate of the mansion. How can he know what the rumors are. I just don't know, what rumors even took the emperor's heart. , and specially asked Mr. Zhao to cooperate with Dongchang?"
After all, being able to mobilize the East Factory is no small matter.
Zhao Wuyou showed a masculine look on his face, and coughed twice, "Since the lord doesn't know anything, then Wuyou will start from the beginning and talk to the lord in detail, and I hope the lord won't be too wordy."
"It's okay!" Xiao Rong said, "I'm bored when I'm idle, I should just listen to the playbook."
Zhao Wuyou nodded, and said while sitting upright, "Recently, there have been people from all over the world walking outside the capital, and everyone has heard a rumor that the one who wins the brocade box wins the world. No one knows what this brocade box is. I've seen it before, but the word "world" is really easy to make people red-eyed and dark-hearted."
"The emperor got the news somehow, so he asked Eunuch De to summon the officials to the palace to meet him. When the officials entered the palace, Eunuch De said that the emperor was furious. This rumor is undoubtedly a rebellion. The emperor is naturally Long Yan. furious."
"The emperor asked the subordinate officials to thoroughly investigate this matter. It is necessary to find out who is spreading rumors behind their backs. This kind of thieves with ulterior motives must be brought to justice. However, the subordinate officials are not healthy enough to thoroughly investigate such things. Too much heart but not enough energy.”
Speaking of this, Zhao Wuyou got up with a face of shame, and bowed respectfully to Xiao Rong, "Your Majesty, I'm sorry, my lord."
Xiao Rong was startled, "Master Zhao, what is the meaning of this?"
Zhao Wuyou pursed her lips, her face was a little sour, "The lower official was in a hurry at the time, thinking that with the ability of the prince, he would be able to handle this matter properly, so he recommended the prince to the emperor." She paused deliberately, "However, the emperor... "
"Lord Zhao, this king is sick in bed, how can I have extra energy to fiddle with these things, aren't you trying to trick this king?" Xiao Rong's displeasure was clearly on his face.
Zhao Wuyou immediately apologized, "Your Majesty, forgive me, it's because I didn't think carefully, it's my fault."
"What did the emperor say?" What Xiao Rong wanted to know most was the emperor's reaction after hearing it.
The emperor was not an idiot either. He was able to rest assured of the government despite not caring about the government these years. It was nothing more than the feeling that the several forces in the court were doing their own thing and hindering each other, so no one could bite the other, so as to maintain the balance of power in the court.
This Shangshu Mansion was originally a subsidiary of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and now it cooperates with King Qi You's Mansion to deal with Dongchang together.In the event of Dongchang's defeat, the so-called tripartite situation will be broken, and the emperor's mutual restraint policy will also fail.
That's why the emperor was very reluctant to unite these forces. As long as they kept fighting, his throne would always be secure.
Taking a deep breath, Zhao Wuyou said, "The emperor was furious, and reprimanded the subordinates. The subordinates have never seen the emperor's anger so much, even if the subordinates were hit by a board that time, it was never so frightening .”
Xiao Rong's body tensed slightly, "Really?"
"Yes!" Zhao Wuyou bowed his head, "If it wasn't for the emperor being angry, how could the subordinate officials be uneasy. After all, the prince is the emperor's brother and sister. There are some things that are not convenient for us foreign ministers to say, but the prince is fine. It is the subordinate officials this time. I came here to ask for favors from the lord. My lord, do you think that in the future, can I speak a few words of kindness in front of the emperor in place of an official? Zhao Wuyou, I am very grateful."
Xiao Rong narrowed his eyes and stared at Zhao Wuyou, seeing her frowning slightly, he was a little dazed.He fixedly watched her frown slightly, and watched her slightly pursed her lips in thought, but another person's frown and smile appeared in his mind.
It's really hard to get rid of the demons, and it's the best if you can't get it.
Sighing softly, Xiao Rong sneered, "I ask myself that the relationship with Mr. Zhao is not so good. Mr. Zhao has the prime minister as the master, when will we need to compromise like this?"
Zhao Wuyou smiled wryly, "My lord doesn't know, my father has been convalescing in the mansion, he really dare not disturb me as a son. Earlier, my father scolded me, now I don't dare to annoy him anymore. Are you looking for bad luck? You are here to try your luck when you come to Prince Qiyou's mansion today."
"To tell you the truth, Wuyou is feeling uneasy right now, and I really don't know what to say. Cooperation with Dongchang is not what Wuyou wanted, but I want to push it away, but the emperor dare not speak. After thinking about it, I really I don't know what to do, I hope the prince can point out the way and give me a hand."
"The Princess is Wuyou's wife. Speaking of which, the Shangshu Mansion and Prince Qi You's Mansion are also brothers-in-law. Look, my lord..."
Xiao Rong looked at her with raised eyebrows, "Master Zhao moved out the Princess?"
"Don't dare!" Zhao Wuyou bowed his head, "If it wasn't for the last resort, how would the subordinate officials dare to work for the princess."
"You really don't want to cooperate with Dongchang?" Xiao Rong asked.
Zhao Wuyou sighed softly, "I don't want to! I have cooperated with Dongchang twice earlier and already angered my father. If I teach my father to know that I have something to do with Dongchang this time, then my father will take my skin off. "
"Is your father so worried about you?" Xiao Rong frowned.
Zhao Wuyou smiled wryly, "I am the only heir in the Zhao family, so it is only natural for my father to think so. If I make any mistakes or make mistakes, it will implicate the prime minister's mansion and the entire Zhao family. The Zhao family can have today's status It's really not easy, and it's reasonable for my father not to let me take risks."
"Who doesn't know that Nine Thousand Years is a murderer without blinking an eye. If you accidentally provoke him, the consequences will be disastrous. What's more, now that he is receiving the favor of the Holy One, everyone will have to avoid his edge. "
Xiao Rong pondered, did Zhao Wuyou really come to ask him to intercede for her?How come these words are tight and clear?However, Zhao Song is indeed a cool person, Xiao Rong really agrees with Zhao Wuyou's statement on this point.
If Zhao Wuyou didn't do what Zhao Song wanted, he would really be skinned by Zhao Song.
"I'm afraid I can't help you with this matter." Xiao Rong rubbed his brows, looking extremely tired, "Master Zhao, let's find another way of life!"
"My lord?" Zhao Wuyou was taken aback, "My lord, this is..."
"I am not feeling well myself, how can I help you?" Xiao Rong sneered twice, "Master Zhao should go and ask the Prime Minister!"
Zhao Wuyou straightened up, showing embarrassment, "Since the lord—then I will take my leave first!" After speaking, he let out a long sigh, and walked out with a sad face.
"Lord Zhao!" Xiao Rong shouted.
Zhao Wuyou frowned and looked back at him, with a calm but dark expression, "What else does the lord want?"
"This king just thinks that since it is the emperor's order, why don't Master Zhao take over and get the brocade box one step earlier than Dongchang, isn't it just a good solution to your suspicion of having an affair with Dongchang? Then go to the emperor In front of you, the emperor will definitely be very satisfied with Mr. Zhao's intelligence. And Mr. Prime Minister, he will also be very happy if you think about it." Xiao Rong looked at her with a smile.
Zhao Wuyou spit inwardly: Eat things that don't spit out bones.
There was a faint smile on his face, "Thank you, my lord, for your guidance. Since I can't push it away, I have no choice but to go up against the difficulties. I will go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to plead guilty first, and leave!"
Watching Zhao Wuyou leave, Xiao Rong's face darkened, "What on earth is this little fox trying to do? Could it be that she suspects that this king has leaked the news into the palace?" He turned to Hu Qing and said, "Order to go down and investigate to the end. Who broke the news into the palace. Is it Dongchang or the Prime Minister's Mansion? Or is it Zhao Wuyou's suspicion?"
But no matter which one, it is very possible.
"Yes!" Hu Qing nodded.
Coming out of Prince Qi You's mansion, Zhao Wuyou's pale face showed no trace of blood.
"How?" Su Xi hurriedly supported Zhao Wuyou who was on the verge of falling, and sat down on the steps at the corner of the street, "Young master, rest for a while, don't worry."
"At least I'm sure of one thing. It's not Xiao Rong who broke into the palace. It seems to be my father." She knew very well that Mu Baili would definitely greet her after doing these things, and the news didn't come in by herself. Yes, the only thing left is the surprisingly quiet Prime Minister's Mansion.
Su Xi was puzzled, "Why did Master Xiang do this?"
"He's throwing stones to ask for directions." Zhao Wuyou sneered, "The old fox's calculations are crackling, and he probably also discovered the hidden guards of Prince Qiyou's mansion, otherwise how would he know about the brocade box?"
Suddenly, Zhao Wuyou stiffened slightly, "Zhao Song—do you know the brocade box?"
"That is to say, the prime minister has always known that the candidate for the throne favored by the late emperor is not actually the current emperor?" Su Xi only felt her scalp go numb, "Then this prime minister..."
Hearing this, Zhao Wuyou stood up, his face even whiter than white, "What the hell did he do?"
Wen Gu sneered, "What else can I do? It's obvious that I don't do good deeds. If I don't keep everything in order, I will steal the day and change the day, and the country will change hands."
Su Xi immediately looked around, "You are crazy, dare to say such a thing!"
"Let's go!" Zhao Wuyou straightened his face and walked away.
It seems that I have to go back and ask Lian Ming carefully, did his mother say anything else when he was alive?Zhao Wuyou always felt that there was something wrong here, especially because Zhao Song knew everything about this matter like the back of his hand.
Zhao Wuyou had just learned about this edict, and judging by the emperor's expression, it seemed that he didn't know about it either.
After entering Tingfeng Tower, Zhao Wuyou took the medicine, and only then did he catch his breath.Leaning on the soft couch in the pear orchard, covered with a thin blanket, dying, he was extremely tired.
"How long do you have to pretend to be sick? Do you have to drink medicine every time you go out?" Wen Gu felt distressed, and carefully wiped the thin sweat on her forehead with a wet towel.
Zhao Wuyou half-closed his brows and eyes, "Is there a better way? I can't cover the sky with one hand, so I have to compromise. Since I was born, this has been the law of survival."
Su Xi handed over a glass of water, "Your Majesty, do you feel better?"
Closing his eyes, Zhao Wuyou nodded, "It's nothing serious, you go and call Lian Ming, I have something to ask."
"Yes!" Su Xi turned and left.
It's just that no one expected that Lian Ming was not in the mansion.Mu Yao said that recently he always went to a teahouse to hear about the book, and he was very excited when he heard it, and often people would leave and would not leave.
Su Xi was puzzled, "Sure enough, if there is one, there must be a pair. The two brothers and sisters really have the same interests and hobbies, and they both like listening to books so much. In other words, the opera books in the capital are just like that. It's really nothing. Xinyi, I have listened to it a few times, but I can't sit still after hearing a few words."
Zhao Wuyou smiled, "Naturally, you are used to being promiscuous, and of course it is different from those young masters and ladies. But this Lian Ming is really strange. Is he still unclear about his identity? He has to go outside to show off, no matter what In the eyes of people in the sunset, there will be big troubles at that time."
"This also just shows that he never told anyone about what he mentioned to the young master." Su Xi said.
Zhao Wuyou took a deep breath, "Then I'll wait for him. When will he come back? When will he let me know? There are some things that you should ask carefully." After a pause, Zhao Wuyou propped himself up and half sat down "I—ask a question."
Wen Gu nodded, "That's what you say, now I've told you my biggest secret, there's really no need to hide anything from you."
"Is there anyone in your Wu family or the Tilan royal family who defected? For example, did you make a big mistake and be expelled from the country?" Zhao Wuyou pursed his lips and asked in a low voice.
She didn't know how to describe the big mistake that Lian Ming said.It must be an unforgivable big mistake to be driven to Daye and be reduced to prostitution alone and helpless!
"Expulsion?" Wen Gu thought for a while, "You mean, he broke the clan rules and was expelled?"
"Yes, and they must be expelled from Tilan, and they are not allowed to stay in the Wu clan. They belong to the kind of people who are driven away and leave their homes." Zhao Wuyou described, "Is there such a woman?"
"I have to think about it." Wen Gu said, "When I left Tilan in the past, I was young and energetic, and I really didn't know much about some things. Fortunately, my father is the head of the clan. Still know better."
"Woman? Made a mistake? Was expelled from the witch clan and expelled from the border of Tilan? It seems, it seems that there is such a person. It seems that there is, yes, if you want to ask about the previous goddess before Murong, That’s probably about the same.”
"The former goddess?" Zhao Wuyou frowned, "Is she also from the Wu clan?"
Wen Gu nodded, "It's from the Witch Clan, and her talents are not inferior to your mother's at all."
Zhao Wuyou became interested, "Can you tell me what this goddess looks like and what she is capable of?"
"She can't be considered a goddess, otherwise this butterfly Gu wouldn't fall on your mother." Wen Gu recalled carefully, "Once a generation of goddess succeeds, they will start looking for the next goddess. After all, to inherit the butterfly Gu, you must have this person." The roots and bones are excellent, only if the Butterfly Gu can be raised well."
"At that time, there was a woman from the Witch Clan, who seemed to be called Zhaoxue. I had never seen her before. After all, I only cared about your mother at that time, and I had no time to care about others. This woman seemed to be born in Xuetian, so she was named Zhaoxue. You should know, Tilan seldom snows, so the tribe thinks this is auspicious."
"In fact, Zhaoxue is indeed very capable. Her comprehension is the highest among the Wu Clan, but there are also many tribes in the Wu Clan. He is not in my father's tribe, but as the leader of the tribe, my father still has to confirm it himself. Is this woman really capable of taking on the role of a goddess?"
"If it's feasible, then we should focus on cultivation, and then she will be the successor goddess. My father left, and when he came back, he was very happy. When he mentioned Zhaoxue, he was full of praise. He can be regarded as the most aura in my witch clan."
Suxi was startled, "If Miss Zhaoxue succeeds Goddess, then there is nothing wrong with you?"
Wen Gu nodded, "That's right, that's true."
"Leave the good goddess alone, what did she do to escape?" Su Xi asked again.
Wen Gu sighed softly, "I only sigh that people who are too smart are somewhat conceited. She has become famous in the Wu clan, but she always hopes to see the scenery outside the desert, and always envies Daye's country and people. This probably corresponds to a saying that you often say, home flowers are not as fragrant as wild flowers. Those that are too easy to get are always considered not good enough, and those that are not easy to get are the love of the heart."
"She fell in love with a man?" Zhao Wuyou's eyes darkened, "If you want to leave Tilan, is it equivalent to betraying your witch clan?"
"I heard that's the case!" Wen Gu shook his head, "I don't know the specifics, but in short, she was kicked out. I heard that she really went to Daye, and then there was no news about her."
Zhao Wuyou frowned, "Then you Wu Clan, do many people know about this?"
"Not many, most of them are just legends!" Wen Gu smiled wryly, "Just like you, they all say that family ugliness should not be publicized, so such things should not be easily publicized to the outside world, so even Tilan's royal family I'm afraid they don't even know that there is a woman named Zhaoxue in the Wu Clan."
"That is to say, there is no time to report it?" Zhao Wuyou said.
"She is not yet old enough to inherit the Butterfly Gu, so out of caution, my father did not dare to report it to the imperial court, lest in case something unexpected happens in the future, it will be too late to regret." Wen Gu sighed softly, "Fortunately, he did not report it to the court. , otherwise the face of the witch clan would have been lost long ago, and the Tilan royal family would have reprimanded my father. This matter was covered up like this, and it was also because of this that your mother was able to succeed the goddess because she couldn't find a goddess. "
Zhao Wuyou paused, "You said just now that succession to the Butterfly Gu requires age."
"Yes!" Wen Gu nodded, "The Butterfly Gu is a sacred object of the witch clan and cannot be easily inherited. It exists in the body, and the Goddess is only used as a vessel for raising the Gu, otherwise the Butterfly Gu will be absorbed, and there will be no more butterflies at that time." Bewitched."
"When you reach a certain age and are well versed in the way of raising Gu, you can accept the entry of Butterfly Gu through specific rituals. Like you, it is considered an adventure." Wen Gu said, "Do you know why Zhao Song has to freeze it all the time?" Butterfly Gu?"
Zhao Wuyou said, "It's not to prevent the Butterfly Gu from becoming enlightened, and someone will notice it and steal it."
Wen Gu smiled wryly, "In the past, I couldn't figure it out. How did your father know that the Butterfly Gu would freeze under the cold poison? Now I think it's probably because your mother knew she was going to die, so she risked planting the Butterfly Gu in your body." Body. Because you are too young to bear it at all, so she used all her life's power to lock the butterfly Gu."
"Or you were already dead at the time, and it was your mother's butterfly Gu that gave you a glimmer of life. But the Gu is too violent and your body is too weak, so it will cause certain damage to your body and even your memory."
"You mean memory?" Zhao Wuyou was stunned, "It may be so, so I don't have any memories of my childhood. Since I was sensible, my mother has been living in Yun'an Temple. I don't have any memory of those times before. Can't remember at all."
Wen Gu was helpless, "There are advantages and disadvantages. There are some things in this world that are not so easy to get. Butterfly Gu inherited all your mother's hard work, so it came to you..."
Suxi hurriedly said, "Did that girl Zhaoxue never show up again?"
"Since you betrayed the Wu Clan, you will naturally be expelled. No one knows what happened afterwards. Anyway, she no longer belongs to the Wu Clan, so her life and death have nothing to do with us." Wen Gu said, "However, before she leaves, she must also make a heavy oath. After leaving Tilan, she will never use Gu to poison people. This is the most unviolable family rule of the witch clan!"
"Whoever dares to use Gu poison to harm people is the enemy of our Wu Clan, and will be cursed by the Wu Clan for life and life. Although the Wu Clan is committed to Gu poison, they never harm people easily."
Zhao Wuyou laughed mockingly, "How about your second senior brother?"
Wen Gu's face turned hot, "He? Naturally, he is an enemy of the Wu Clan. If he can fall into my hands in the future, I will teach him what it is like to have thousands of snakes and ten thousand poisonous Gu."
"What?" Su Xi was startled, "What kind of snake?"
"Thousands of snakes and ten thousand poisonous Gu!" Wen Gu smiled coldly, "This is the cruelest punishment of the Wu Clan. It is to feed people Gu, and then throw them into the snake den to be eaten by thousands of poisonous snakes. You must know, wait After people are eaten up, these snakes will become the best snake Gu."
Su Xi pouted, "It's disgusting."
"Otherwise, how do you say that Northern Xinjiang is a land of barbarians?" Wen Gu smiled helplessly, "But I only heard about this punishment from my father and the older generation. No one has ever tried it."
"That's not bad, otherwise it would be much more severe than that Dongchang's punishment. This murder is nothing more than nodding your head, you - you really think that life is worse than death. You were frightened to death, then you were bitten to death, and finally Seeing myself being gnawed bit by bit, I became a Gu in the belly of the snake." Suxi sighed softly, "This snake Gu is really scary."
Wen Gu let out a long breath, "Sometimes, torture is necessary, otherwise everyone will mess around, isn't this witch clan messed up? Everyone can refine Gu and use Gu. If there is no restraint, I am afraid it will cause disaster to the world long ago." But if you want to forbid the clansmen to refine Gu, I am afraid that this skill will be lost. Without the slightest ability, how can the Wu clan become the guardians of the Tilan royal family?"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Wuyou suddenly laughed.
"Young master laughed when he heard the guardian. This is really a repayment of the father's debt." Su Xi joked.
Zhao Wuyou chuckled lightly, "Slick tone."
Wen Gu was taken aback for a moment, and then smiled awkwardly: Father's debt and daughter's repayment.
Speaking of it, it seems that this is really the case.
Lian Ming never came back, Mu Yao was also waiting at the other end, she thought that Zhao Wuyou was so anxious to find his brother-in-law, there must be something wrong.But she didn't dare to go out of Shangshu's mansion to show off outside, after all, Lian Ming said that the people from Qiyou's mansion have been active in the capital recently.
"Why haven't you come back yet?" Mu Yao curled her lips, "Huo Huo, take someone to look for it, it's not convenient for me to go out here."
Huo Huo had a sour taste, "The princess just treats my uncle well. If my uncle says a word, the princess is worried until now. This eldest son has two legs, and it's not that he can't walk back, so he has to go pick him up himself."
"Why, Miss Huo, you really beat me to death?" Mu Yao tilted her head to look at her.
Huo Huo chuckled, "What is the princess talking about, the servant is just complaining, and the servant will go." After finishing speaking, the little girl ran away in a hurry, but Shen Yan, who was holding the broom, was taken aback.
In such a hurry to find someone, it must have happened.
Lian Ming is the righteous brother of the princess, he is considered to be half a relative of the emperor, and he looks good. Could it be that this Zhao Wuyou - he thought to himself, maybe he wants to have two boats at once?
Relying on his elder brother's inability to use force these few days, and being entangled in the matter of Huanglan, he couldn't come to the Shangshu Mansion, so Zhao Wuyou was lonely and cold for a while?
Thinking about it this way, Shen Yan felt that Zhao Wuyou was nothing!Pick good-looking ones to start with!
"Hey!" Without paying attention, Mu Yao had already stood in front of him, "I asked you to sweep the floor, why are you in a daze? Why don't you sweep the floor quickly? From your look, are you planning something again? I don't know. Let me tell you, I will always keep an eye on you, if you dare to take advantage of this Shangshufu, dare to touch my husband, I will never forgive you."
Shen Yan gave her a cold look, "The princess thinks that her husband is a baby, but others may not think so. Your husband, I don't have to make up my mind."
That was the elder brother's idea. If he dared to move his mind, it might be his own legs that were hit.
Brother, will break his leg.
Seeing Shen Yan's snort, Mu Yao was furious, "Don't think I don't know, you look like an upright gentleman, but in reality? You're just a prodigal, good at hands and feet."
Shen Yan clenched the broom in his hand, remembering the frivolity he had treated Mu Yao that day—not so frivolous.
He coughed softly, "That—the princess, that day's humble job was not intentional, that—"
"Shut up!" Mu Yao yelled, "If you dare to mention what happened that day again, I will pull out your tongue and feed it to the dog."
"The princess is of noble birth, sometimes it's better to pay attention to your manners!" Shen Yan turned and left holding the broom.
Mu Yao became anxious and kicked over.
But Shen Yan is not a real wooden stake, he can stand there and kick it with you.After all, he is also a thousand householder in Dongchang, and Mu Baili personally taught him his kung fu, so if he can be kicked like this, he would be useless.
Shen Yan turned his body away, perfectly dodging Mu Yao's kick.
"How dare you hide!" Mu Yao casually took out the whip behind her, even though one arm was hanging, the other arm was still usable.When the whip came down, Shen Yan immediately blocked it with the broom in his hand, and directly threw the broom in two, and there was also a bloodstain on the left side of his face.
Although it's not heavy, but - after all, it's on the face, it doesn't look good to anyone.
Mu Yao was taken aback, didn't he know how to dodge just now?Why don't you hide this time?Fortunately, she collected it faster just now, otherwise... the consequences would be disastrous.
With a cold face, Shen Yan raised his hand to touch the bloodstains on his face, the light in his eyes was terribly cold, "Does this whip count as an arm for the princess? Let the princess whip me, and we're even. .”
