Chapter 95 The Uninvited Vinegar Thief
Chapter 95 The Uninvited Vinegar Thief
Mu Baili helped her, using the power of the imperial court to suppress and destroy the Wuji Palace, it was better than Zhao Wuyou's laborious and time-consuming efforts.But Mu Baili's conditions were also very cruel, and he asked her to go with him to Yunhua State to control the plague.
Is this good or bad?
Did she make a profit or a loss in this transaction?
Until the end, no one can tell.
Waiting for the two to leave, Zhao Wuyou saw Xiao Dezi rushing in again, she vaguely heard Xia Zhaoyi... Xia Qiongzhi? !Zhao Wuyou frowned slightly, lowered his head and coughed lightly, and subconsciously gathered the front of his clothes.
Seeing Zhao Wuyou's expression, Mu Baili walked slowly with her on the palace road.
The left and right sides were cleared, and only two people strolled forward on the empty palace road.
"Yesterday, the emperor mentioned the matter of Xia Zhaoyi with me." Mu Baili said, "Does Mr. Zhao know that Xia Zhaoyi has a dragon heir?"
Zhao Wuyou knew about this, but she didn't expect that before she left, she was sure of winning, and after she came back, Xia Qiongzhi started to stir up trouble again.To be pregnant with a dragon heir is a great honor for a woman in the harem.If a prince is born in the future, maybe he will be able to rise to the top.
Fu Yuying was also pregnant with the emperor's heir, so Zhao Wuyou didn't lose all.
"Your Majesty is exposed to rain and dew, Xia Zhaoyi was favored at that time, so what's so strange about having an heir?" Zhao Wuyou said with a blank expression on his face.
Mu Baili chuckled, "The emperor has moved his mind and wanted the position of the Duke of Fuguo, does Mr. Zhao also know?"
The emperor never mentioned this matter, Zhao Wuyou had just returned to the capital, some news was too late to digest.After all, she has no one around her now.In fact, this matter was already in Zhao Wuyou's expectation. As long as there are Xia family sisters in the palace, it will be a matter of time before Xia Donglou is restored.
With a cold snort, Zhao Wuyou said with a smile, "Your Majesty's thoughts are naturally left to His Majesty. As an official of the imperial court, it is up to him to share his worries and relieve his labors. Everything else is inevitable."
"Really?" Mu Baili smiled coldly, "Master Zhao is nothing like a man who is resigned to fate."
Zhao Wuyou paused, "Isn't it?" She sighed softly, "Is there another person in this world who is resigned to fate like me?" Pale a little.
He is not a fool, he has already heard her subtext.Isn't it just resentment, is he going to drag her to Yunhua State?
"Master Zhao doesn't want to go to Yunhua State, and doesn't want to do his best for the emperor?" Mu Baili asked coolly.
Zhao Wuyou turned his head and glanced at him, with a bit of contempt, "Master, knowingly asked, why bother to slander me? My life and death are now in your hands, Lord—you can be gentle."
Mu Baili nodded, "Master Zhao is really an unfamiliar white-eyed wolf!"
"I also said long ago that if you can feed it well, then it is not a white-eyed wolf." While speaking, he had already left the palace gate, "Thank you, Governor, for helping me deal with Wuji Palace." These words are actually polite words, Wuji Palace Mu Baili naturally hates what Zhao Wuyou has.
To say "thank you", it would be better to say that they joined forces to deal with Wuji Palace.
"What do you think about the Xia family?" Before leaving, Mu Baili looked at her.
On Zhao Wuyou's face, there were no excessive emotional fluctuations, and he was calm and calm as always, "The governor should know, God's will is hard to break!" She coughed, and stepped on the carriage to get on the carriage.
Watching the carriage leave, the light in Mu Baili's eyes gradually dimmed.
"Supervisor?" Lu Guoan stepped forward, "Don't Zhao Wuyou know that if the Duke's mansion is restored, the disaster will be serious?"
There was no expression on the thick and colorful face.Mu Baili's eyes were cold, "She knows better than anyone else."
Indeed, Zhao Wuyou knew better than anyone else that if he survived the snake attack this time, he would definitely suffer.If the Duke's Mansion makes a comeback, then their Zhao family will suffer unprecedented damage.The two daughters of the Xia family are now in the palace. Once the Duke's Mansion is restored, it will be a kind of blessing for the children in Xia Qiongzhi's stomach.
She absolutely does not allow such a thing to happen, she remembers Xia Donglou's slap clearly!
It is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge.
It's never too late for a woman to take revenge.
Zhao Wuyou sat in the carriage rubbing her brows, she was thinking about the Duke's Mansion and the dredging of Yingqu.The carriage went to the Liubu yamen, when Zhao Wuyou got off, he immediately saw Jian Weizhong, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, standing there.
After coughing twice, Zhao Wuyou stepped forward slowly.
Jian Weizhong seemed to come to greet her on purpose, and cupped his fists as a greeting, "Master Zhao recovered from his illness?"
Zhao Wuyou shook his head, "I won't recover from this disease." Instead, he said, "Let's stop talking, Master Jian, how is the dredging of Yingqu Canal going? , but it went well?"
"Master Zhao, don't worry, everything is going well." Jian Weizhong smiled, "The weather is very good these days, and the progress is very fast. More and more ordinary people have joined the ranks of dredging, and the project is about to be completed. .More than a month beyond the established plan, which is the fastest in our Daye."
"The power of the common people should not be underestimated." Zhao Wuyou walked into the meeting hall slowly, there was no one in the hall at the moment, only she and Jian Weizhong.
Jian Weizhong nodded, "That's true. Presumably, the emperor will reward Mr. Zhao when the time comes."
"Reward?" Zhao Wuyou let out a long breath, "Master Jian has contributed a lot. You are responsible for this matter. Wuyou just picked up a ready-made one!" As he said, he raised his lips and smiled, "Fortunately, everything If it goes well, it can be regarded as an explanation to the emperor."
Jian Weizhong smiled and said, "It also saved a lot of silver for the court."
"These are secondary, mainly the Duke's Mansion." Zhao Wuyou rubbed his brows, "Master Jian, please bring me the budget and actual calculations for this dredging. yes."
"Okay!" Jane walked out quickly for Zhongwei.
Zhao Wuyou sneered inwardly, reward?
What's the use of just thinking about those gold, gold and silver?Seeking money in front of the emperor is just a villain's behavior, and it is bound to not last long.Let out a long breath, I didn't sleep well last night, and I don't have much energy today.
The emperor ordered that he must leave for Yunhua State within three days.
Therefore, she only has three days to deal with various affairs in Beijing and China.In addition to the Yingqu dredging of the Ministry of Industry, there is also the Jiaofang Division of the Ministry of Rites, and finally the cabinet.Xia Donglou entered the cabinet and was expelled from the cabinet. Speaking of Lian, he was really ashamed.
The cabinet has returned to its original operating mode, but there are some things that Zhao Wuyou still needs to instruct.
That night, Zhao Wuyou didn't return to the Shangshu, but went to work in the six yamen.She didn't have much time, so she didn't dare to omit or delay anything.Check the accounts, the title must be clear.This project has many pairs of eyes inside and outside the capital, so she must be careful in everything.
Taking a copper pick to turn on the light, Zhao Wuyou rubbed the center of his brows, feeling a little pain in his head.When she had a headache, she reflexively thought of the dead eunuch.He is the best at serving people, isn't he?
Sighing lightly, Zhao Wuyou put down the ledger in his hand, and looked at the window swaying from side to side with a gloomy expression.Get up and close the windows.There seemed to be a sigh outside the door, Zhao Wuyou was startled and hurriedly turned around.
Jane Weizhong pushed the door open, "Why isn't Mr. Zhao resting?"
"It's you?" Zhao Wuyou narrowed his eyes, suddenly a little surprised, what was he expecting?Oh, it's crazy.
Jian Weizhong held the porcelain cup, "I wondered if Mr. Zhao was going to look through the accounts tonight, so I rushed back to have a look, but I didn't know that Mr. Zhao really didn't sleep. Just ask the kitchen to cook some rice porridge for you. Eat something to cheer you up."
Zhao Wuyou smiled, "Thank you, Lord Jane."
"Master Zhao has worked hard." Jian Weizhong put down the porcelain cup.
"Master Jian, let's go back and rest! I'll be done soon." Zhao Wuyou sat down calmly.
"Okay!" Jian Weizhong nodded, got up and walked out, thought for a while and then stopped, "Master Zhao is not in good health, so don't work too hard."
Zhao Wuyou nodded, "I understand!"
After Jian Weizhong left, Zhao Wuyou glanced at the porcelain cup on the table.The millet porridge inside was boiled into pieces and smelled fragrant, but it was also very good.It's the middle of the night, and the cook isn't asleep yet?
It wasn't the cook who didn't sleep, but... Jian Yan stood in the yard, waiting for Jian Weizhong to come out.
"Father?" Jian Yan quickly stepped forward, "How?"
"Don't worry, I've already delivered it to her." Jian Weizhong sighed softly, "Hurry up and go home! You don't sleep in the middle of the night, why did you drag Weifu up to give me some rice porridge?"
Jian Yan smiled, "I have no official position or fame, how can I enter these six yamen? I grew up with Wuyou, she is not in good health, and now there is no one to serve her, so I am naturally worried .She doesn't have any friends. I'm the only one. If I don't help her, who will help her? If I don't take care of her, who will take care of her? This time, I would like to thank Daddy!"
Jian Weizhong smiled, "Lord Zhao has a bright future, but his body is too weak. Well, hurry home!"
"Father, can I stay?" Jian Yan asked, "What if she suddenly becomes ill?"
"Of course there are people on duty here. If you stay here, won't people say that your father doesn't understand the law? If you know the law and break the law, the crime will be aggravated. You said it yourself, you have neither fame nor official position, so go back quickly!" Jian Weizhong walked quickly Go outside.
Jian Yan sighed softly, and had no choice but to leave reluctantly.
Zhao Wuyou's food intake was small, but this porridge was boiled fresh, maybe she was really hungry and ate it all.The taste is good, and it is inexplicably familiar. As for the amount of water rice, it is almost made according to her preference.
It wasn't until dawn that she calculated all the accounts on hand.
Drowsy in her mind, she lay down on the table and took a nap for a while.He was really too tired, he was a bit exhausted, if it wasn't for the bowl of porridge last night, he probably wouldn't be able to last until now.
Closing her eyes, she seemed to hear the cry of the baby, accompanied by the woman's hysterical cursing, the voice of extreme hatred, wishing to eat flesh and skin, was chilling to the bone.
Listening to it makes people panic.
Suddenly, she seemed to hear her mother's voice.
Mother shouted, "Don't kill her."
Eyebrows raised suddenly, Zhao Wuyou quickly straightened up, his complexion pale as paper.Short of breath, she closed her eyes and bowed her head, and said to herself, "So it was a dream!" Helplessly holding her forehead, it was probably because she was too tired, or she really missed her mother.
After sitting for a while, Zhao Wuyou got up, and when he opened the door to go out, he was pierced by the sunlight outside, and subconsciously narrowed his eyes.Taking a deep breath, Zhao Wuyou walked out of the room slowly and stood in the yard.
The sun is so good, it is also warm when it falls on the body.
Jian Weizhong walked over with a smile, "Master Zhao?"
"Master Jian." Zhao Wuyou cupped his fists, "I have read those accounts, they are very good."
"In this way, I can rest assured." Jian Weizhong smiled, "Master Zhao has worked hard, now it's time to go back and rest!"
Zhao Wuyou smiled, "It's okay, the account can be taken back, and the file can be sealed and filed after the matter is completed. I will leave first!"
"Okay!" Jian Weizhong nodded, entered the room, and saw the porcelain cup on the table at a glance.The porridge in the porcelain cup had already been eaten, Jian Weizhong smiled subconsciously, after all, he was a child and knew each other's habits well.
Thinking of this, he sighed again.
There are rumors outside that his son and Zhao Wuyou are the ones who have lost their sleeves. He doesn't believe it, but...
Zhao Wuyou hurriedly left the six yamen, she was going to prepare to go to Yunhua Prefecture, this time there was no need to be cautious, after all, she was going to control the plague under the emperor's imperial decree.
After going out, Jian Yan waited outside.
Zhao Wuyou smiled palely, "Why are you here?"
"Are you okay?" Jian Yan looked at her worriedly.
"I'm fine." Zhao Wuyou walked down the last step and stood in front of Jian Yan.
Looking at her pale complexion, Jian Yan's eyes were slightly hurt, "You look very bad, did you stay up all night?"
"Your eyes are black and blue, did you stay up all night last night?" She asked back.
Jian Yan lowered his head and smiled, "Can you not be so smart?"
"You said this too late. If I had told my mother seventeen or eighteen years earlier, my mother might have agreed to make me stupid. But now, it is too late." Zhao Wuyou coughed lightly twice.
Jian Yan showed a tense expression, "Didn't you have breakfast!"
"The porridge you make is delicious." She smiled softly.
He looked startled, "How do you know?"
"When your father came in, his clothes were not straightened, so he got up in a hurry. How could there be a cook in the middle of the night? It's not the first day I've come to Liubu Yamen. Do you think I'm a fool?" Zhao said. Wuyou coughed twice, "Not everyone can enter these six yamen. You have no official or job, so the guards can't let you in. The only way is to drag your father."
Jian Yan was slightly embarrassed, "I should have known earlier, I can't hide it from you."
"Mu Baili said that what he hates the most is my eyes." Zhao Wuyou sighed softly, "Do you also hate me now?"
Jian Yan was taken aback, "What?"
Zhao Wuyou pursed his lips and smiled, "I mean, do you also hate my eyes, seeing things you shouldn't see?"
He couldn't understand what she meant, so he held her cold hand, "Go back and have a good rest, why don't you find a doctor to take a look, your face is really scary."
"I'm used to seeing my face now, if I die in the future, you won't be afraid." Zhao Wuyou smiled, "It's pretty good, isn't it?"
Jian Yan suppressed the dimple on his face, and stared at her intently, "Wuyou, what's wrong with you?"
Zhao Wuyou lowered his head and smiled awkwardly, "It's nothing, it's just that I'm going to Yunhua State, so - I'm afraid I won't be able to come back this time. Jian Yan, if I die there, will you still remember me?"
"What silly words?" Jian Yan led her into her carriage together.
The carriage moved slowly, and the interior of the carriage was very quiet.
"The emperor asked you to go to Yunhua State?" Jian Yan asked.
Zhao Wuyou leaned against the wall of the car, her eyebrows slightly closed, she was really tired, "Yes! The emperor's decree will come down soon, and I will leave the capital soon."
Hearing this, Jian Yan narrowed his eyes, "Why do you have to go?"
"The emperor's fate is like a mountain, I have to go." Zhao Wuyou opened his eyes, turned to look at him, "Jian Yan, do you still remember what you promised me?"
Jian Yan looked at her.
Zhao Wuyou continued, "You promised me that you wouldn't get involved. A man promises so much, don't lie to me."
He pursed his lips and smiled bitterly, "When did you still say such things?"
"I'm serious." Zhao Wuyou stared at him intently.
Jian Yan sighed softly, lowered his eyes and nodded, "As long as you are happy."
Zhao Wuyou looked away, opened the curtains of the car, and looked at the bustling crowd outside with a sad expression.The ten-mile long street is equally prosperous with or without anyone.
After returning to Shangshu Mansion, Zhao Wuyou sat quietly under the pear tree.
The shadows of the trees swayed, but fortunately, the sun outside was very good, and it didn't feel cold at all.
Jian Yan quietly accompanied her, sitting opposite her, he looked at her with a glass of warm water, and the scene looked peaceful.The delicate face is a little bit tired, and when he closes his eyes, he always looks calm.
"Hehuan, will you be angry?" Jian Yan asked suddenly, "I've never seen you happy or angry. You really don't have anything on your mind. Is it worth your attention?"
Zhao Wuyou took a sip of water, looked at him indifferently, "I care about everything, can I handle it? Isn't it good that I am like this now?"
Jian Yan smiled wryly, "You know, I've been worried that one day, you'll meet someone who can make you angry or make you smile. Although I know it's unlikely, but—" He paused, "I I hope I can be this person, but why can't you give me a chance?"
"Whenever I break this life-and-death tribulation, come and talk to me again." Zhao Wuyou sighed softly, "I can't even save my life, so why talk about feelings? Isn't it a burden? You should know my character, I I won't let anyone or anything become my fetters. Jian Yan, find a good woman and live the rest of my life in peace, it's more real than you fighting for me. "
Jian Yan stared at her, "Even if you don't love me, why do you push me away?"
Zhao Wuyou shook his head, "Those are the ones that I can't reach."
"You're so smart, if you really want to leave, no one can stop you." What Jian Yan said was true.
Zhao Wuyou smiled wryly, "Go? Where are you going?"
"I will stay with you forever." Jian Yan said.
She knew he was serious.
But she also understands that this is unrealistic.
"I am the only son in the prime minister's mansion, and I am the only heir of my father and mother. Who do you give up? I don't care about such overwhelming power, such glory and wealth, but this family relationship, I can't do it." Zhao Wuyou Take a deep breath, "Sometimes being reluctant means caring, maybe it's just the responsibility of fate."
After leaving the Prime Minister's Mansion, how would she find the Buddhist beads?alone?Oh, nonsense.
If you don't look for Buddhist beads, do you really want her to die of illness here?She is not reconciled, nor willing.
Jian Yan let out a sigh of relief, "No matter what, I will be with you."
Zhao Wuyou looked at him without saying a word.
There is no word to each other, only the wind blows over the treetops.
After Jian Yan left, Zhao Wuyou sat there alone.Alone and alone, the entire pear orchard was so quiet that only the wind in the treetops could be heard.Warm water enters the throat, but only feels cold.
Back in the study, Zhao Wuyou wrote a letter and asked the shadow guard to send it to the cabinet quickly.Suxi and the others were not here, she didn't like dictation, so she took up a pen and wrote.After the cabinet ministers read the letters, they threw them into the brazier and burned them up.
Zhao Wuyou's letters are usually handled in this way. You must know that black and white letters are the easiest to leave harm to yourself.
It is mentioned in the letter that all the scriptures praising the Xia family will be sent to the emperor.Now the emperor has no prescription, so the matter of alchemy has been delayed.Alchemy has been delayed, so naturally there is no way to continue sending this booklet into the alchemy furnace.
Therefore, some important papers still had to be picked and picked, and sent to the emperor for his approval.
For example, about the Xia family.
The emperor was suspicious by nature, and—somewhat self-willed.Even ordinary people are more or less rebellious. If you want to do this, he wants to do that.Just like delicacies from mountains and seas, if you eat too much, you will get bored.Occasionally eat tofu mixed with shallots, and I think it is a delicacy in the world.
After sleeping for two hours, Zhao Wuyou no longer felt sleepy.
She didn't sleep much in the first place, and now that she didn't have anyone she could trust, she couldn't sleep.After looking through the accounts, she had to go to inspect the dredging site.After a busy day, at night, his complexion became even paler.
Fortunately, at night, Yun Xi came.
Yun Xi is Su Xi's elder brother, before Zhao Wuyou went to Jinling, Fu Yuying had no one to help him in the palace, so he sent Yun Xi to the palace and put her beside Fu Yuying.
"See you son!" Yun Xi bent down and knelt down.
"Get up!" Zhao Wuyou stood by the window, the night wind made her cough slightly.
Yun Xi stood up, "Young master is not in good health, the night is cool."
Zhao Wuyou nodded, turned around and looked at him, "How is the palace?"
"Xia Zhaoyi and Fu Jieyu are pregnant together, the emperor is very happy. However, Xia Zhaoyi is living a stable life now, and there is no fault. Arrived at the emperor's side." Yun Xi bowed his head, "My lord, this Xia Zhaoyi seems to be different."
"After suffering once, it's still the same as before. Isn't she asking for her own death? She learns quickly." Zhao Wuyou walked slowly to the front of the case and sat down, "What else?"
"It can be seen that the empress is helping the Xia family now." Yun Xi whispered.
Zhao Wuyou snorted lightly, "That idiot." She was not helping the Xia family, but wanted the child in Xia Qiongzhi's womb.The empress is barren, and the Xia family is being reviled now, so this child is naturally easy to get.
The queen can't count on Fu Jieyu's child, so she can only stare at Xia Qiongzhi.
Rubbing between his brows, Zhao Wuyou supported his forehead, "I see, let Fu Jieyu be at peace, and don't be impatient. I will leave Beijing in two days, and then you can make a move." Then, he looked up at Yun Xi With a glance, "Go back! If you come out for too long, you will inevitably make people suspicious."
"Yes!" Yun Xi nodded, thought for a while, then looked up with embarrassment, "Humble job—"
"There is no news about Su Xi for the time being, I am still looking for her whereabouts." Who is Zhao Wuyou, so how could he not know Yun Xi's hesitation.
"Thank you, my lord!" Yun Xi narrowed her eyes, "Resign from the humble job!"
When the sound fell, the person had jumped out of the window and disappeared into the vast night.
Slightly narrowing his eyes, Zhao Wuyou stared at the candle flames flickering in front of the desk, the queen... the queen is a troublesome existence.How stupid, Xia Qiongzhi's child is so easy to get?What she said to the queen earlier, the queen has already forgotten about it, and there is really no way to stop this deadly person.
Heart tired, lying on the table, fell asleep.
In my mind, there was a sea of flames all over the sky, and suddenly it turned into a train again, and the sound of the whistle rang through the eardrums.She felt that Yue Mo was eager to return home, so she thought of her brother day and night.
It was hopeless.
What's even more hopeless is that when she woke up, she didn't know why she was sleeping on her own bed.
Sitting up in shock, Zhao Wuyou only felt cold.
The next moment, she crazily wrapped up the quilt tightly.When did this happen?Why is this so?When was her clothes taken off?Looking at the randomly discarded clothes on the ground, Zhao Wuyou swallowed subconsciously.
This is being robbed?Robbery?Robbery?
"What's going on?" Zhao Wuyou's eyes widened.
But her mind was blank, she only remembered smelling the faint scent of jasmine, and then—then she didn't know anything.
Quickly getting up, Zhao Wuyou dressed neatly in a hurry, her heart was beating wildly, almost to the point of her throat.
Walking to the corridor, Zhao Wuyou sneered, "Come out!"
The two black shadows fell quickly, and they knelt in front of Zhao Wuyou in unison, "What are your orders, young master?"
"Who was here last night?" Zhao Wuyou asked.
The shadow guards looked at each other, not understanding why Zhao Wuyou had such a slightly frustrated look on his face.The two bowed their heads, "Returning to the young master, the humble position has been guarding day and night, and no outsiders have been found approaching."
nobody?
There was a buzzing sound in Zhao Wuyou's mind, and it exploded in an instant.Taking a deep breath, she walked back to her room, "Go back!"
After the sound fell, the two quickly returned to their original positions and continued to guard.
Who else but him could avoid his own shadow guard and do such a thing to himself?This quiet style is none other than him.When Zhao Wuyou got angry, he raised his hand and smashed the cup on the table to the ground.
It just doesn't make sense!
But, no one can do anything about him.
If you can't catch it, you can't catch it, so what if you catch it?There is no way to catch it!
But it can't be reasonable, for him, there is no reason at all.Black and white are all the same in his eyes.He can do whatever he wants, and let his temper run amok.
Zhao Wuyou felt a deep sense of helplessness, so he had to tidy up, got up and went to the East Factory.
When I went, Mu Baili was in the study.
Mu Baili had just returned from Jinling, and he still had to go to Yunhua Prefecture. Although Shen Yan took care of a lot of affairs between the East Factory and the Supervisor of Rituals, some important matters had to be handled by him personally.
"Master Zhao, Master Zhao is here." Lu Guoan saluted.
Mu Baili didn't look up, "Let her in."
After the sound fell, Zhao Wuyou had already stepped into the door.
Seeing this, Lu Guoan and Shen Yan quickly withdrew.
"Why are you here?" Mu Baili asked knowingly.
Zhao Wuyou sat still, angry with getting up early in the morning, and also with resentful anger, "You did a good thing yourself, and you still ask me why? Mu Baili, are you addicted to climbing windows? I heard Does the window of Fenglou have any grudge against you?"
Mu Baili criticized himself, "So angry today?"
"What did you do last night, don't you know?" Zhao Wuyou was furious, facing Mu Baili, she felt that her excellent qualities were not enough.Either getting angry or going crazy, completely losing the rationality that should be there.
The brain is also a little unclear.
I don't know, is it because I just woke up.
"What?" Mu Baili looked at her with great interest, "I didn't do anything—do it!" He bit the last word very hard.
Zhao Wuyou was stunned, rubbing his eyebrows and sitting in front of the case, "Knowing that you did it on purpose, just to let me come to Dongchang, but you still accepted your trap. Mu Baili, have you made enough trouble? ?”
"Master Zhao just surrendered?" Mu Baili put down the pen in his hand.
"If you admit defeat, you will never appear in front of me. I would rather admit defeat." Zhao Wuyou sighed.
It pops up from time to time, prying into your privacy, and keeps you in a highly tense state of mind, which can't be tolerated by anyone else.Zhao Wuyou knew that this was Mu Baili's deliberate action, and wanted her to come to Dongchang to find him in person.
But the moment he saw Zhao Wuyou, Mu Baili was surprised.
Zhao Wuyou is not a stupid person, it is impossible not to think what he meant, but she still came, so fast.This was somewhat beyond Mu Baili's expectations, thinking that he would have to toss a few times before she would appear in front of him unwillingly.
On second thought, if he could go on according to his own way of thinking, it would not be Zhao Wuyou.
"I have delayed the meeting between Mr. Zhao and Mr. Jian. Is Mr. Zhao angry?" Mu Baili got up and walked towards her slowly.
"Mu Baili, are you following me?" Zhao Wuyou looked at him coldly, "It doesn't sound very pleasant to my ears, it sounds like I'm a little jealous. How can you compete with white-clothed scholars, the majestic admiral of the East Factory? Aren't you afraid of losing your identity?"
Mu Baili sat beside her, habitually holding her cold hand.This soft catkin wrapped in the warm palm is indeed the best feeling in the world.He picked out those extremely good-looking phoenix eyes and looked at her, "If I'm really jealous, what should Master Zhao do?"
"How?" Zhao Wuyou smiled coolly, "The governor should drown in the vinegar vat and never come up again."
He smiled, maybe he didn't expect her to have such an answer, a faint smile appeared between his brows, "Master Zhao is really cruel and merciless."
"Compared to the Governor, it's even worse than the Governor." Zhao Wuyou pulled back his hand, "Tell me, what do you want me to do? What kind of medicine are you selling in this gourd? You have to do this show. For whom?"
"Of course it is for the Xia family to see." Mu Baili smiled, "Dongchang and the Zhao family have joined forces to make those people who are swaying from side to side dare not act rashly after we leave Beijing. In case there is a time when you and this seat Come back, this capital city has already changed."
Zhao Wuyou snorted softly, "Since that's the case, why didn't you come to me, why did you have to ask me to come to you? Obviously the effect is the same, but you have to look far away."
"What does Mr. Zhao think?" Mu Baili put his hands gently on her shoulders, and his warm breath sprayed on her ears and temples.
(End of this chapter)
Mu Baili helped her, using the power of the imperial court to suppress and destroy the Wuji Palace, it was better than Zhao Wuyou's laborious and time-consuming efforts.But Mu Baili's conditions were also very cruel, and he asked her to go with him to Yunhua State to control the plague.
Is this good or bad?
Did she make a profit or a loss in this transaction?
Until the end, no one can tell.
Waiting for the two to leave, Zhao Wuyou saw Xiao Dezi rushing in again, she vaguely heard Xia Zhaoyi... Xia Qiongzhi? !Zhao Wuyou frowned slightly, lowered his head and coughed lightly, and subconsciously gathered the front of his clothes.
Seeing Zhao Wuyou's expression, Mu Baili walked slowly with her on the palace road.
The left and right sides were cleared, and only two people strolled forward on the empty palace road.
"Yesterday, the emperor mentioned the matter of Xia Zhaoyi with me." Mu Baili said, "Does Mr. Zhao know that Xia Zhaoyi has a dragon heir?"
Zhao Wuyou knew about this, but she didn't expect that before she left, she was sure of winning, and after she came back, Xia Qiongzhi started to stir up trouble again.To be pregnant with a dragon heir is a great honor for a woman in the harem.If a prince is born in the future, maybe he will be able to rise to the top.
Fu Yuying was also pregnant with the emperor's heir, so Zhao Wuyou didn't lose all.
"Your Majesty is exposed to rain and dew, Xia Zhaoyi was favored at that time, so what's so strange about having an heir?" Zhao Wuyou said with a blank expression on his face.
Mu Baili chuckled, "The emperor has moved his mind and wanted the position of the Duke of Fuguo, does Mr. Zhao also know?"
The emperor never mentioned this matter, Zhao Wuyou had just returned to the capital, some news was too late to digest.After all, she has no one around her now.In fact, this matter was already in Zhao Wuyou's expectation. As long as there are Xia family sisters in the palace, it will be a matter of time before Xia Donglou is restored.
With a cold snort, Zhao Wuyou said with a smile, "Your Majesty's thoughts are naturally left to His Majesty. As an official of the imperial court, it is up to him to share his worries and relieve his labors. Everything else is inevitable."
"Really?" Mu Baili smiled coldly, "Master Zhao is nothing like a man who is resigned to fate."
Zhao Wuyou paused, "Isn't it?" She sighed softly, "Is there another person in this world who is resigned to fate like me?" Pale a little.
He is not a fool, he has already heard her subtext.Isn't it just resentment, is he going to drag her to Yunhua State?
"Master Zhao doesn't want to go to Yunhua State, and doesn't want to do his best for the emperor?" Mu Baili asked coolly.
Zhao Wuyou turned his head and glanced at him, with a bit of contempt, "Master, knowingly asked, why bother to slander me? My life and death are now in your hands, Lord—you can be gentle."
Mu Baili nodded, "Master Zhao is really an unfamiliar white-eyed wolf!"
"I also said long ago that if you can feed it well, then it is not a white-eyed wolf." While speaking, he had already left the palace gate, "Thank you, Governor, for helping me deal with Wuji Palace." These words are actually polite words, Wuji Palace Mu Baili naturally hates what Zhao Wuyou has.
To say "thank you", it would be better to say that they joined forces to deal with Wuji Palace.
"What do you think about the Xia family?" Before leaving, Mu Baili looked at her.
On Zhao Wuyou's face, there were no excessive emotional fluctuations, and he was calm and calm as always, "The governor should know, God's will is hard to break!" She coughed, and stepped on the carriage to get on the carriage.
Watching the carriage leave, the light in Mu Baili's eyes gradually dimmed.
"Supervisor?" Lu Guoan stepped forward, "Don't Zhao Wuyou know that if the Duke's mansion is restored, the disaster will be serious?"
There was no expression on the thick and colorful face.Mu Baili's eyes were cold, "She knows better than anyone else."
Indeed, Zhao Wuyou knew better than anyone else that if he survived the snake attack this time, he would definitely suffer.If the Duke's Mansion makes a comeback, then their Zhao family will suffer unprecedented damage.The two daughters of the Xia family are now in the palace. Once the Duke's Mansion is restored, it will be a kind of blessing for the children in Xia Qiongzhi's stomach.
She absolutely does not allow such a thing to happen, she remembers Xia Donglou's slap clearly!
It is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge.
It's never too late for a woman to take revenge.
Zhao Wuyou sat in the carriage rubbing her brows, she was thinking about the Duke's Mansion and the dredging of Yingqu.The carriage went to the Liubu yamen, when Zhao Wuyou got off, he immediately saw Jian Weizhong, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, standing there.
After coughing twice, Zhao Wuyou stepped forward slowly.
Jian Weizhong seemed to come to greet her on purpose, and cupped his fists as a greeting, "Master Zhao recovered from his illness?"
Zhao Wuyou shook his head, "I won't recover from this disease." Instead, he said, "Let's stop talking, Master Jian, how is the dredging of Yingqu Canal going? , but it went well?"
"Master Zhao, don't worry, everything is going well." Jian Weizhong smiled, "The weather is very good these days, and the progress is very fast. More and more ordinary people have joined the ranks of dredging, and the project is about to be completed. .More than a month beyond the established plan, which is the fastest in our Daye."
"The power of the common people should not be underestimated." Zhao Wuyou walked into the meeting hall slowly, there was no one in the hall at the moment, only she and Jian Weizhong.
Jian Weizhong nodded, "That's true. Presumably, the emperor will reward Mr. Zhao when the time comes."
"Reward?" Zhao Wuyou let out a long breath, "Master Jian has contributed a lot. You are responsible for this matter. Wuyou just picked up a ready-made one!" As he said, he raised his lips and smiled, "Fortunately, everything If it goes well, it can be regarded as an explanation to the emperor."
Jian Weizhong smiled and said, "It also saved a lot of silver for the court."
"These are secondary, mainly the Duke's Mansion." Zhao Wuyou rubbed his brows, "Master Jian, please bring me the budget and actual calculations for this dredging. yes."
"Okay!" Jane walked out quickly for Zhongwei.
Zhao Wuyou sneered inwardly, reward?
What's the use of just thinking about those gold, gold and silver?Seeking money in front of the emperor is just a villain's behavior, and it is bound to not last long.Let out a long breath, I didn't sleep well last night, and I don't have much energy today.
The emperor ordered that he must leave for Yunhua State within three days.
Therefore, she only has three days to deal with various affairs in Beijing and China.In addition to the Yingqu dredging of the Ministry of Industry, there is also the Jiaofang Division of the Ministry of Rites, and finally the cabinet.Xia Donglou entered the cabinet and was expelled from the cabinet. Speaking of Lian, he was really ashamed.
The cabinet has returned to its original operating mode, but there are some things that Zhao Wuyou still needs to instruct.
That night, Zhao Wuyou didn't return to the Shangshu, but went to work in the six yamen.She didn't have much time, so she didn't dare to omit or delay anything.Check the accounts, the title must be clear.This project has many pairs of eyes inside and outside the capital, so she must be careful in everything.
Taking a copper pick to turn on the light, Zhao Wuyou rubbed the center of his brows, feeling a little pain in his head.When she had a headache, she reflexively thought of the dead eunuch.He is the best at serving people, isn't he?
Sighing lightly, Zhao Wuyou put down the ledger in his hand, and looked at the window swaying from side to side with a gloomy expression.Get up and close the windows.There seemed to be a sigh outside the door, Zhao Wuyou was startled and hurriedly turned around.
Jane Weizhong pushed the door open, "Why isn't Mr. Zhao resting?"
"It's you?" Zhao Wuyou narrowed his eyes, suddenly a little surprised, what was he expecting?Oh, it's crazy.
Jian Weizhong held the porcelain cup, "I wondered if Mr. Zhao was going to look through the accounts tonight, so I rushed back to have a look, but I didn't know that Mr. Zhao really didn't sleep. Just ask the kitchen to cook some rice porridge for you. Eat something to cheer you up."
Zhao Wuyou smiled, "Thank you, Lord Jane."
"Master Zhao has worked hard." Jian Weizhong put down the porcelain cup.
"Master Jian, let's go back and rest! I'll be done soon." Zhao Wuyou sat down calmly.
"Okay!" Jian Weizhong nodded, got up and walked out, thought for a while and then stopped, "Master Zhao is not in good health, so don't work too hard."
Zhao Wuyou nodded, "I understand!"
After Jian Weizhong left, Zhao Wuyou glanced at the porcelain cup on the table.The millet porridge inside was boiled into pieces and smelled fragrant, but it was also very good.It's the middle of the night, and the cook isn't asleep yet?
It wasn't the cook who didn't sleep, but... Jian Yan stood in the yard, waiting for Jian Weizhong to come out.
"Father?" Jian Yan quickly stepped forward, "How?"
"Don't worry, I've already delivered it to her." Jian Weizhong sighed softly, "Hurry up and go home! You don't sleep in the middle of the night, why did you drag Weifu up to give me some rice porridge?"
Jian Yan smiled, "I have no official position or fame, how can I enter these six yamen? I grew up with Wuyou, she is not in good health, and now there is no one to serve her, so I am naturally worried .She doesn't have any friends. I'm the only one. If I don't help her, who will help her? If I don't take care of her, who will take care of her? This time, I would like to thank Daddy!"
Jian Weizhong smiled, "Lord Zhao has a bright future, but his body is too weak. Well, hurry home!"
"Father, can I stay?" Jian Yan asked, "What if she suddenly becomes ill?"
"Of course there are people on duty here. If you stay here, won't people say that your father doesn't understand the law? If you know the law and break the law, the crime will be aggravated. You said it yourself, you have neither fame nor official position, so go back quickly!" Jian Weizhong walked quickly Go outside.
Jian Yan sighed softly, and had no choice but to leave reluctantly.
Zhao Wuyou's food intake was small, but this porridge was boiled fresh, maybe she was really hungry and ate it all.The taste is good, and it is inexplicably familiar. As for the amount of water rice, it is almost made according to her preference.
It wasn't until dawn that she calculated all the accounts on hand.
Drowsy in her mind, she lay down on the table and took a nap for a while.He was really too tired, he was a bit exhausted, if it wasn't for the bowl of porridge last night, he probably wouldn't be able to last until now.
Closing her eyes, she seemed to hear the cry of the baby, accompanied by the woman's hysterical cursing, the voice of extreme hatred, wishing to eat flesh and skin, was chilling to the bone.
Listening to it makes people panic.
Suddenly, she seemed to hear her mother's voice.
Mother shouted, "Don't kill her."
Eyebrows raised suddenly, Zhao Wuyou quickly straightened up, his complexion pale as paper.Short of breath, she closed her eyes and bowed her head, and said to herself, "So it was a dream!" Helplessly holding her forehead, it was probably because she was too tired, or she really missed her mother.
After sitting for a while, Zhao Wuyou got up, and when he opened the door to go out, he was pierced by the sunlight outside, and subconsciously narrowed his eyes.Taking a deep breath, Zhao Wuyou walked out of the room slowly and stood in the yard.
The sun is so good, it is also warm when it falls on the body.
Jian Weizhong walked over with a smile, "Master Zhao?"
"Master Jian." Zhao Wuyou cupped his fists, "I have read those accounts, they are very good."
"In this way, I can rest assured." Jian Weizhong smiled, "Master Zhao has worked hard, now it's time to go back and rest!"
Zhao Wuyou smiled, "It's okay, the account can be taken back, and the file can be sealed and filed after the matter is completed. I will leave first!"
"Okay!" Jian Weizhong nodded, entered the room, and saw the porcelain cup on the table at a glance.The porridge in the porcelain cup had already been eaten, Jian Weizhong smiled subconsciously, after all, he was a child and knew each other's habits well.
Thinking of this, he sighed again.
There are rumors outside that his son and Zhao Wuyou are the ones who have lost their sleeves. He doesn't believe it, but...
Zhao Wuyou hurriedly left the six yamen, she was going to prepare to go to Yunhua Prefecture, this time there was no need to be cautious, after all, she was going to control the plague under the emperor's imperial decree.
After going out, Jian Yan waited outside.
Zhao Wuyou smiled palely, "Why are you here?"
"Are you okay?" Jian Yan looked at her worriedly.
"I'm fine." Zhao Wuyou walked down the last step and stood in front of Jian Yan.
Looking at her pale complexion, Jian Yan's eyes were slightly hurt, "You look very bad, did you stay up all night?"
"Your eyes are black and blue, did you stay up all night last night?" She asked back.
Jian Yan lowered his head and smiled, "Can you not be so smart?"
"You said this too late. If I had told my mother seventeen or eighteen years earlier, my mother might have agreed to make me stupid. But now, it is too late." Zhao Wuyou coughed lightly twice.
Jian Yan showed a tense expression, "Didn't you have breakfast!"
"The porridge you make is delicious." She smiled softly.
He looked startled, "How do you know?"
"When your father came in, his clothes were not straightened, so he got up in a hurry. How could there be a cook in the middle of the night? It's not the first day I've come to Liubu Yamen. Do you think I'm a fool?" Zhao said. Wuyou coughed twice, "Not everyone can enter these six yamen. You have no official or job, so the guards can't let you in. The only way is to drag your father."
Jian Yan was slightly embarrassed, "I should have known earlier, I can't hide it from you."
"Mu Baili said that what he hates the most is my eyes." Zhao Wuyou sighed softly, "Do you also hate me now?"
Jian Yan was taken aback, "What?"
Zhao Wuyou pursed his lips and smiled, "I mean, do you also hate my eyes, seeing things you shouldn't see?"
He couldn't understand what she meant, so he held her cold hand, "Go back and have a good rest, why don't you find a doctor to take a look, your face is really scary."
"I'm used to seeing my face now, if I die in the future, you won't be afraid." Zhao Wuyou smiled, "It's pretty good, isn't it?"
Jian Yan suppressed the dimple on his face, and stared at her intently, "Wuyou, what's wrong with you?"
Zhao Wuyou lowered his head and smiled awkwardly, "It's nothing, it's just that I'm going to Yunhua State, so - I'm afraid I won't be able to come back this time. Jian Yan, if I die there, will you still remember me?"
"What silly words?" Jian Yan led her into her carriage together.
The carriage moved slowly, and the interior of the carriage was very quiet.
"The emperor asked you to go to Yunhua State?" Jian Yan asked.
Zhao Wuyou leaned against the wall of the car, her eyebrows slightly closed, she was really tired, "Yes! The emperor's decree will come down soon, and I will leave the capital soon."
Hearing this, Jian Yan narrowed his eyes, "Why do you have to go?"
"The emperor's fate is like a mountain, I have to go." Zhao Wuyou opened his eyes, turned to look at him, "Jian Yan, do you still remember what you promised me?"
Jian Yan looked at her.
Zhao Wuyou continued, "You promised me that you wouldn't get involved. A man promises so much, don't lie to me."
He pursed his lips and smiled bitterly, "When did you still say such things?"
"I'm serious." Zhao Wuyou stared at him intently.
Jian Yan sighed softly, lowered his eyes and nodded, "As long as you are happy."
Zhao Wuyou looked away, opened the curtains of the car, and looked at the bustling crowd outside with a sad expression.The ten-mile long street is equally prosperous with or without anyone.
After returning to Shangshu Mansion, Zhao Wuyou sat quietly under the pear tree.
The shadows of the trees swayed, but fortunately, the sun outside was very good, and it didn't feel cold at all.
Jian Yan quietly accompanied her, sitting opposite her, he looked at her with a glass of warm water, and the scene looked peaceful.The delicate face is a little bit tired, and when he closes his eyes, he always looks calm.
"Hehuan, will you be angry?" Jian Yan asked suddenly, "I've never seen you happy or angry. You really don't have anything on your mind. Is it worth your attention?"
Zhao Wuyou took a sip of water, looked at him indifferently, "I care about everything, can I handle it? Isn't it good that I am like this now?"
Jian Yan smiled wryly, "You know, I've been worried that one day, you'll meet someone who can make you angry or make you smile. Although I know it's unlikely, but—" He paused, "I I hope I can be this person, but why can't you give me a chance?"
"Whenever I break this life-and-death tribulation, come and talk to me again." Zhao Wuyou sighed softly, "I can't even save my life, so why talk about feelings? Isn't it a burden? You should know my character, I I won't let anyone or anything become my fetters. Jian Yan, find a good woman and live the rest of my life in peace, it's more real than you fighting for me. "
Jian Yan stared at her, "Even if you don't love me, why do you push me away?"
Zhao Wuyou shook his head, "Those are the ones that I can't reach."
"You're so smart, if you really want to leave, no one can stop you." What Jian Yan said was true.
Zhao Wuyou smiled wryly, "Go? Where are you going?"
"I will stay with you forever." Jian Yan said.
She knew he was serious.
But she also understands that this is unrealistic.
"I am the only son in the prime minister's mansion, and I am the only heir of my father and mother. Who do you give up? I don't care about such overwhelming power, such glory and wealth, but this family relationship, I can't do it." Zhao Wuyou Take a deep breath, "Sometimes being reluctant means caring, maybe it's just the responsibility of fate."
After leaving the Prime Minister's Mansion, how would she find the Buddhist beads?alone?Oh, nonsense.
If you don't look for Buddhist beads, do you really want her to die of illness here?She is not reconciled, nor willing.
Jian Yan let out a sigh of relief, "No matter what, I will be with you."
Zhao Wuyou looked at him without saying a word.
There is no word to each other, only the wind blows over the treetops.
After Jian Yan left, Zhao Wuyou sat there alone.Alone and alone, the entire pear orchard was so quiet that only the wind in the treetops could be heard.Warm water enters the throat, but only feels cold.
Back in the study, Zhao Wuyou wrote a letter and asked the shadow guard to send it to the cabinet quickly.Suxi and the others were not here, she didn't like dictation, so she took up a pen and wrote.After the cabinet ministers read the letters, they threw them into the brazier and burned them up.
Zhao Wuyou's letters are usually handled in this way. You must know that black and white letters are the easiest to leave harm to yourself.
It is mentioned in the letter that all the scriptures praising the Xia family will be sent to the emperor.Now the emperor has no prescription, so the matter of alchemy has been delayed.Alchemy has been delayed, so naturally there is no way to continue sending this booklet into the alchemy furnace.
Therefore, some important papers still had to be picked and picked, and sent to the emperor for his approval.
For example, about the Xia family.
The emperor was suspicious by nature, and—somewhat self-willed.Even ordinary people are more or less rebellious. If you want to do this, he wants to do that.Just like delicacies from mountains and seas, if you eat too much, you will get bored.Occasionally eat tofu mixed with shallots, and I think it is a delicacy in the world.
After sleeping for two hours, Zhao Wuyou no longer felt sleepy.
She didn't sleep much in the first place, and now that she didn't have anyone she could trust, she couldn't sleep.After looking through the accounts, she had to go to inspect the dredging site.After a busy day, at night, his complexion became even paler.
Fortunately, at night, Yun Xi came.
Yun Xi is Su Xi's elder brother, before Zhao Wuyou went to Jinling, Fu Yuying had no one to help him in the palace, so he sent Yun Xi to the palace and put her beside Fu Yuying.
"See you son!" Yun Xi bent down and knelt down.
"Get up!" Zhao Wuyou stood by the window, the night wind made her cough slightly.
Yun Xi stood up, "Young master is not in good health, the night is cool."
Zhao Wuyou nodded, turned around and looked at him, "How is the palace?"
"Xia Zhaoyi and Fu Jieyu are pregnant together, the emperor is very happy. However, Xia Zhaoyi is living a stable life now, and there is no fault. Arrived at the emperor's side." Yun Xi bowed his head, "My lord, this Xia Zhaoyi seems to be different."
"After suffering once, it's still the same as before. Isn't she asking for her own death? She learns quickly." Zhao Wuyou walked slowly to the front of the case and sat down, "What else?"
"It can be seen that the empress is helping the Xia family now." Yun Xi whispered.
Zhao Wuyou snorted lightly, "That idiot." She was not helping the Xia family, but wanted the child in Xia Qiongzhi's womb.The empress is barren, and the Xia family is being reviled now, so this child is naturally easy to get.
The queen can't count on Fu Jieyu's child, so she can only stare at Xia Qiongzhi.
Rubbing between his brows, Zhao Wuyou supported his forehead, "I see, let Fu Jieyu be at peace, and don't be impatient. I will leave Beijing in two days, and then you can make a move." Then, he looked up at Yun Xi With a glance, "Go back! If you come out for too long, you will inevitably make people suspicious."
"Yes!" Yun Xi nodded, thought for a while, then looked up with embarrassment, "Humble job—"
"There is no news about Su Xi for the time being, I am still looking for her whereabouts." Who is Zhao Wuyou, so how could he not know Yun Xi's hesitation.
"Thank you, my lord!" Yun Xi narrowed her eyes, "Resign from the humble job!"
When the sound fell, the person had jumped out of the window and disappeared into the vast night.
Slightly narrowing his eyes, Zhao Wuyou stared at the candle flames flickering in front of the desk, the queen... the queen is a troublesome existence.How stupid, Xia Qiongzhi's child is so easy to get?What she said to the queen earlier, the queen has already forgotten about it, and there is really no way to stop this deadly person.
Heart tired, lying on the table, fell asleep.
In my mind, there was a sea of flames all over the sky, and suddenly it turned into a train again, and the sound of the whistle rang through the eardrums.She felt that Yue Mo was eager to return home, so she thought of her brother day and night.
It was hopeless.
What's even more hopeless is that when she woke up, she didn't know why she was sleeping on her own bed.
Sitting up in shock, Zhao Wuyou only felt cold.
The next moment, she crazily wrapped up the quilt tightly.When did this happen?Why is this so?When was her clothes taken off?Looking at the randomly discarded clothes on the ground, Zhao Wuyou swallowed subconsciously.
This is being robbed?Robbery?Robbery?
"What's going on?" Zhao Wuyou's eyes widened.
But her mind was blank, she only remembered smelling the faint scent of jasmine, and then—then she didn't know anything.
Quickly getting up, Zhao Wuyou dressed neatly in a hurry, her heart was beating wildly, almost to the point of her throat.
Walking to the corridor, Zhao Wuyou sneered, "Come out!"
The two black shadows fell quickly, and they knelt in front of Zhao Wuyou in unison, "What are your orders, young master?"
"Who was here last night?" Zhao Wuyou asked.
The shadow guards looked at each other, not understanding why Zhao Wuyou had such a slightly frustrated look on his face.The two bowed their heads, "Returning to the young master, the humble position has been guarding day and night, and no outsiders have been found approaching."
nobody?
There was a buzzing sound in Zhao Wuyou's mind, and it exploded in an instant.Taking a deep breath, she walked back to her room, "Go back!"
After the sound fell, the two quickly returned to their original positions and continued to guard.
Who else but him could avoid his own shadow guard and do such a thing to himself?This quiet style is none other than him.When Zhao Wuyou got angry, he raised his hand and smashed the cup on the table to the ground.
It just doesn't make sense!
But, no one can do anything about him.
If you can't catch it, you can't catch it, so what if you catch it?There is no way to catch it!
But it can't be reasonable, for him, there is no reason at all.Black and white are all the same in his eyes.He can do whatever he wants, and let his temper run amok.
Zhao Wuyou felt a deep sense of helplessness, so he had to tidy up, got up and went to the East Factory.
When I went, Mu Baili was in the study.
Mu Baili had just returned from Jinling, and he still had to go to Yunhua Prefecture. Although Shen Yan took care of a lot of affairs between the East Factory and the Supervisor of Rituals, some important matters had to be handled by him personally.
"Master Zhao, Master Zhao is here." Lu Guoan saluted.
Mu Baili didn't look up, "Let her in."
After the sound fell, Zhao Wuyou had already stepped into the door.
Seeing this, Lu Guoan and Shen Yan quickly withdrew.
"Why are you here?" Mu Baili asked knowingly.
Zhao Wuyou sat still, angry with getting up early in the morning, and also with resentful anger, "You did a good thing yourself, and you still ask me why? Mu Baili, are you addicted to climbing windows? I heard Does the window of Fenglou have any grudge against you?"
Mu Baili criticized himself, "So angry today?"
"What did you do last night, don't you know?" Zhao Wuyou was furious, facing Mu Baili, she felt that her excellent qualities were not enough.Either getting angry or going crazy, completely losing the rationality that should be there.
The brain is also a little unclear.
I don't know, is it because I just woke up.
"What?" Mu Baili looked at her with great interest, "I didn't do anything—do it!" He bit the last word very hard.
Zhao Wuyou was stunned, rubbing his eyebrows and sitting in front of the case, "Knowing that you did it on purpose, just to let me come to Dongchang, but you still accepted your trap. Mu Baili, have you made enough trouble? ?”
"Master Zhao just surrendered?" Mu Baili put down the pen in his hand.
"If you admit defeat, you will never appear in front of me. I would rather admit defeat." Zhao Wuyou sighed.
It pops up from time to time, prying into your privacy, and keeps you in a highly tense state of mind, which can't be tolerated by anyone else.Zhao Wuyou knew that this was Mu Baili's deliberate action, and wanted her to come to Dongchang to find him in person.
But the moment he saw Zhao Wuyou, Mu Baili was surprised.
Zhao Wuyou is not a stupid person, it is impossible not to think what he meant, but she still came, so fast.This was somewhat beyond Mu Baili's expectations, thinking that he would have to toss a few times before she would appear in front of him unwillingly.
On second thought, if he could go on according to his own way of thinking, it would not be Zhao Wuyou.
"I have delayed the meeting between Mr. Zhao and Mr. Jian. Is Mr. Zhao angry?" Mu Baili got up and walked towards her slowly.
"Mu Baili, are you following me?" Zhao Wuyou looked at him coldly, "It doesn't sound very pleasant to my ears, it sounds like I'm a little jealous. How can you compete with white-clothed scholars, the majestic admiral of the East Factory? Aren't you afraid of losing your identity?"
Mu Baili sat beside her, habitually holding her cold hand.This soft catkin wrapped in the warm palm is indeed the best feeling in the world.He picked out those extremely good-looking phoenix eyes and looked at her, "If I'm really jealous, what should Master Zhao do?"
"How?" Zhao Wuyou smiled coolly, "The governor should drown in the vinegar vat and never come up again."
He smiled, maybe he didn't expect her to have such an answer, a faint smile appeared between his brows, "Master Zhao is really cruel and merciless."
"Compared to the Governor, it's even worse than the Governor." Zhao Wuyou pulled back his hand, "Tell me, what do you want me to do? What kind of medicine are you selling in this gourd? You have to do this show. For whom?"
"Of course it is for the Xia family to see." Mu Baili smiled, "Dongchang and the Zhao family have joined forces to make those people who are swaying from side to side dare not act rashly after we leave Beijing. In case there is a time when you and this seat Come back, this capital city has already changed."
Zhao Wuyou snorted softly, "Since that's the case, why didn't you come to me, why did you have to ask me to come to you? Obviously the effect is the same, but you have to look far away."
"What does Mr. Zhao think?" Mu Baili put his hands gently on her shoulders, and his warm breath sprayed on her ears and temples.
