Empress Dowager Empress Dowager

Chapter 84
Hearing Su Rui's swearing, Huo Mingzhu said with a smile: "Good girl, the only one your lady can trust now is you."

She really felt something in her heart, that's why she made these sighs, Su Hui naturally didn't understand why she was so worried, she just said: "Anyway, what Miss is thinking about is to find a good home, and it doesn't hinder anyone, let's just do it Just go find it."

Huo Mingzhu sighed in her heart, Su Yu is Su Yu, so simple, all things in the world complement each other, when one is done, the other will stop, what she will do next will definitely hinder some people Eyes, until then, let’s explain the same thing again.Shaking everything out at once, Huo Mingzhu was really worried that Su Hui would not be able to accept it.

That night, seeing Huo Mingzhu packing up the jewelry, Su Wei asked in puzzlement: "Miss, what are you doing? These jewelry are left by the young lady, and the young lady is reluctant to wear them on weekdays. Tomorrow is not a big day. Why do you want to wear them?" Turn it out?"

Huo Mingzhu caressed the lacquered wooden box for the jewelry, wiped off the dust on it, and said with a smile: "Tomorrow is not a big day, I just want to go to my uncle's house, and I think of my mother for a while, so I put it away." Just take out the jewelry and have a look."

"Oh, Miss, don't be sad. The old ancestor loved Miss, and told his wife that he would give the lady the dowry and other things after the death of the lady. Even if she gets married in the future, the husband's family would not dare to underestimate the lady." Straightforward.

Sulu is right. The people in the capital city marry their daughters with the intention of comparing them. Apart from the talent and appearance of the young lady, the dowry is also very important. Going to show that this lady was very favored when she was in her natal family, with the support of a powerful natal family, her husband's family had to think twice before doing things.

Although Huo Mingzhu agreed with what Sulu said, but she didn't point out her intentions, she just said: "After going to Uncle's house tomorrow, you will know what your young lady is going to do."

The second monk Suluzhang couldn't figure it out, and Huo Mingzhu almost whetted his appetite: "Miss, tell me!"

Huo Mingzhu put away the jewelry and locked it in the box again, ignoring Su Ling's anxiety, she got up with a smile and said: "Just worry about you, I want to see if you can't wait overnight?"

"Miss..." Sulu stomped her feet, her mouth pouted.

"Okay, I'll go for a walk in the garden, you clean up here, I'm going to rest when I come back." Huo Mingzhu couldn't help but walked towards the door.

When I was in the border town, I often lived next to the barracks, and I didn't have many family members to accompany her. Huo Mingzhu was used to walking around alone, so Su Hui didn't think there was anything wrong with her walking alone at home, so she didn't follow her.

Strange to say, when Huo Mingzhu walked past the lotus pond where Yu Tong threw himself into the water during the day, a black shadow on the bank suddenly moved. Since Huo Mingzhu's death, she has been extremely vigilant. No one will plot against her, maybe Lin Ruyi will be murdered if something goes wrong, and it is not impossible for her to "misstep" and fall into the river while walking.

Huo Mingzhu hurriedly backed away, the black shadow spotted her and rushed after her.

Huo Mingzhu wasn't sure if she was this man's opponent, she didn't dare to fight rashly, so she wanted to open her mouth to call for someone, the man in black got anxious, flew up and rushed forward, threw Huo Mingzhu down on the grass, and hurriedly covered her shut her mouth.

Huo Mingzhu's eyes widened, her mind was at a loss, and she was plotted against by someone in a careless move. This person's internal strength is not weak, so she didn't know if she had a chance of winning.At a critical moment, Huo Mingzhu kicked back with her foot, and hit the back of the black shadow's head with her toe. The black shadow suffered from pain and tilted her body, but she still didn't let go of her mouth.

Seeing that Huo Mingzhu wanted to hit again, the black shadow finally said: "Stop hitting, I didn't want to do anything to you!"

It was a man, and he had a not-so-familiar thick voice, as if he had heard it somewhere before.Only then did Huo Mingzhu look intently at the black shadow above her head, and found that this person was wearing a black scarf, with only two eyes exposed.

Seeing that Huo Mingzhu paused, the black shadow said again: "Promise me, don't open your mouth, don't hit anyone, I'll let you go, okay? Don't draw the dagger like last time..."

Huo Mingzhu now recognizes this man. This is the man in black who she caught in the general's mansion last time and chased him down the street. He called himself Mr. Liang Shang at that time.

At this moment, her person is in his hands. In the final analysis, she has the upper hand. If she continues to be stubborn, he can strangle her to death as long as she is strangled. Huo Mingzhu doesn't want to die in an unclear manner, so she uses the strategy of delaying the attack He closed his eyes and nodded.

The man in black did not completely relax his grip on her, his eyes were still staring at her vigilantly, and the hand covering her mouth slowly raised.

This kind of slowness and vigilance really didn't seem like he came here to kill her.

Huo Mingzhu waited until the hand was removed from her lips, and then asked in a low voice: "Don't tell me, this time, because Tsing Yi Lane is too far away, it's hard to escape after you stole something, so you borrowed the general's advice again." government."

Her voice was very low, and she really matched the man in black. After listening to the man in black, he smiled: "If I said that this time I wanted to see if there is any treasure in the general's mansion, but I was bumped into by the lady again, and the lady believed it." ?"

Huo Mingzhu didn't listen to his nonsense, just stared into his eyes and said: "Believe it or not, I don't care if I say it. If you want to steal, how can I stop it? But... you'd better get up first and let me go." ..."

The man in black seemed to realize that the two of them were maintaining the posture of man on top of woman, which was not so elegant, so he hurriedly apologized, moved his long legs away from Huo Mingzhu's, and completely let her go.

When Huo Mingzhu got up, the man put his hands in front of him vigilantly and said: "It's agreed not to fight, you don't recognize anyone after you get up, the most important thing is that the dagger can't be drawn anymore, the sword has no eyes, I don't want to see blood!"

It is rare for a gentleman on Liang to be so afraid of death.

Huo Mingzhu was on guard all over, and she lived a new life, she no longer cared about any despicable means, even if she regretted it later, as long as she could subdue the enemy, she didn't care about being scolded as a villain.Therefore, she will not act rashly until she has the upper hand.

"Tell the stolen master to keep quiet and not draw his sword. What's your reasoning?" Huo Mingzhu sat up, asked softly, and even smiled.

The man in black seemed to be wary of her too, moved to the side, a foot away from her and said: "Last time, I didn't know Miss, so I'll tell the truth. Today at the temple fair, I saw a piece of precious jade." , I followed the girl for a while, and found that she was the lady of the General’s Mansion... I didn’t want to cause trouble, but you also know that it’s not so easy to quit when people have some hobbies. After I go back, I really can’t let go of that Kuaiyu, feeling itchy, wanted to try his luck at the General's Mansion, the left and right are places where he has been, so maybe he can walk along with that treasure?"

He seemed very helpless: "No, before I have time to make a move, I met you again, Miss, isn't it a bad fate?"

If Huo Mingzhu didn't believe what he said, how would he know that Nuan Yu was on Huo Huaiyu?He must have seen it with his own eyes, so he kept thinking about it, so we know that he did go to the temple fair.

She sneered and said: "This is strange. Your Excellency seems to be eyeing our general's mansion. The first time you said you recognized me because I was too ostentatious on the way back to Beijing. This time, you said that my sister was wearing it at the temple fair." The baby is too eye-catching. Your Excellency Ganqing is a gentleman at night, but you still have to walk around the bustling market during the day, so as to find a good home for walking around at night?"

After hearing Huo Mingzhu's words, the man in black not only did not deny it, but clapped his hands approvingly: "Miss Huo is really a once-in-a-lifetime confidant! I really step on the spot during the day and start at night. You know it's not easy for a gentleman on the beam. If you catch him, you will be ruined!"

The man in black couldn't understand human words so much, he didn't know that Huo Mingzhu was mocking him, but he was so enthusiastic that he regarded Huo Mingzhu as his own, which really made Huo Mingzhu frown.

"So that piece of precious jade is at Lingmei's place? When I saw that jade today, I couldn't take my eyes off it. You can tell it's not extraordinary at a glance." The man in black chattered.

Huo Mingzhu said calmly: "If I say that piece of jade is on me, what should you do? Do you want to try your best to steal it?"

After hearing this, the man in black was stunned in embarrassment, and then smiled again: "If it is on Miss, how would I dare to offend you? But I don't know who gave the jade to me. I want to find out, and I would like to ask Miss for advice." One or two..."

The more the man in black said, the more outrageous he seemed to regard Huo Mingzhu as his acquaintance. Knowing that the jade pendant was on her, he stopped killing her. Instead, he asked the source of the jade pendant. When did the ladies become close friends?
"You want to drag me into the water? If you are caught in the future, wouldn't I become your accomplice? You are so strange." Huo Mingzhu told the truth.

"Miss Huo, you misunderstood me! I think we are destined, and evil fate is also fate. I will give you some green hairpins, which are also treasures. I heard that the young lady has just passed the gift of Jiji, so I will give the hairpin to the young lady for her birthday. If the young lady doesn’t want to tell where the jade pendant came from, that’s all I can do. I saw that the young lady is with the Ninth Prince today, so I’ll go to the palace to have a look, maybe there will be some surprises!" The black-clothed man hurriedly Dao, every sentence makes sense, the logic is complete, and there are no flaws.

When Huo Mingzhu heard that he was going to visit the Ninth Prince's mansion, she was angry and funny and said: "In the eyes of you gentlemen on Liangshang, what is the relationship between me and the Ninth Prince? When did my things become gifts from him?" ?”

The man in black didn't dodge, and said with a generous smile: "It is rumored that Ms. Huo is very likely to become the Ninth Princess. As long as the lady does not make any serious mistakes and does not tarnish her reputation, she will marry into the Ninth Prince's Mansion sooner or later! At the temple fair today, I saw Miss talking happily with the Ninth Prince, they are like a couple of gods and gods, I am really envious of others! Does Miss have any objections to this?"
