Uncle Nine

Chapter 110 Everything I Do Is Worth It
Shunzi bought the jade pendant after spending a lot of time and energy.With the jade pendant in his arms, he didn't even bother to eat noodles, so he hurried back to the palace.

At the entrance of the alley, the man who took the money walked up to Xiangyi quickly, "My lord, everything is done according to your instructions, and I sold the jade pendant."

Xiangyi took a piece of silver and handed it to him, "I hope you keep this matter a secret, otherwise it won't do you any good if it gets out."

The man nodded again and again, "Young master, don't worry."

Watching the back of the man leaving, Xiangyi quickly returned to Liang Yiru's side.

Liang Yiru was sitting in the teahouse, sipping tea by the window, always in a calm state.

"My lord, according to what you said, the jade pendant is in Shunzi's hands. Presumably, it won't be long before Mr. Huang should know that something happened to you." Xiangyi put the banknote in front of Liang Yiru.

"Take it, and return it." Liang Yiru put down the cup in his hand, and said calmly, "If he has the heart, he will naturally know that something happened to us. If he doesn't, he will treat it as the original and return it, and there will be nothing more to do with it."

Xiangyi nodded, "Then young master, what should we do now?"

"You don't have to do anything, just wait." It's not that Liang Yiru doesn't know that Shen Hao is so ambitious, and his desire for fame and fortune trumps everything else.Don't look at anything else, just look at his attitude towards "A Thousand Years of Mountains and Rivers", the greedy eyes that cannot be concealed, have completely betrayed Shen Hao.Expressions, words, and manners can all deceive people, but the things in the eyes cannot deceive people.

"My lord, are you not going to Mr. Shen's place?" Xiangyi frowned.

Liang Yiru lowered his head and chuckled, "It's actually the same whether you go or not."

Xiangyi was taken aback, but Monk Zhang Er couldn't figure it out.

Shunzi returned to the palace, changed back into the eunuch's clothes, bowed and walked quickly to "Suoxiang Palace".

"Your Majesty!" Shunzi knelt and saluted outside the door.

Zhao Lu touched the slippery wooden stick in his hand, and casually replied, "Is Shunzi back? Come in."

Shunzi bowed and quickly entered the door, "Your Majesty, the slave is back."

"Help me try it, how much tension the wooden stick can withstand this time." Zhao Lu was full of expectation.

The room was full of good wood, and the hall was filled with the fragrance of sawdust. Zhao Lu held a special plane for carpenters and carefully inspected the wood that had just been planed.Looking around, you can see wooden benches, tables, and chairs everywhere, including those strange wooden "works", all from the hands of this high-ranking emperor.

Come to think of it, he was the first emperor of the Great Yan Dynasty who was obsessed with carpentry.

He is also the first one, he can be called a skilled craftsman, and his skill is better than Luban's Ninth Five-Year Master.

Shunzi stood there without daring to move, Zhao Lu was taken aback, "What's wrong? Didn't you hear me talking to you?"

"Your Majesty, I have something to do with my slave, I don't know if I should say it." Shunzi lowered his head.

"What is so mysterious, tell me!" Zhao Lu put down the plane in his hand and began to examine his works.

Shunzi took out half of the jade pendant, put it in the palm of his hand, raised his hands above his head, and walked up to Zhao Lu respectfully, "Please take a look, Your Majesty! This is a slave—"

Zhao Lu glanced at the jade pendant in Shunzi's hand, his complexion changed suddenly, and he held it in his hand, "Where did you get it?"

Hearing this, Shunzi plopped down on his knees, "The emperor forgives the sin. This servant bought it from a pawn shop outside the palace, saying that someone pawned it there. The servant saw that it looked familiar, so he bought it again. It belongs to the emperor. How can it be left outside."

He didn't dare to say that he bought it after going through someone else's hands.If the emperor gets angry, he will be unable to eat and walk around.

"Isn't this something I gave to my two righteous brothers?" Zhao Lu looked slightly annoyed, "Why is it in the pawn shop?" He frowned, "Could something happen to them? Or did they encounter some difficulties?"

Shunzi knelt there, "Your Majesty, after all, this is—"

"What are you talking about, hurry up and clean up, I'm leaving the palace." Zhao Lu walked away with a flick of his sleeves.

Shunzi wiped off his sweat, and hurriedly followed, "Your Majesty, Da Xia's mission is about to enter the court, and the Empress Dowager ordered that the Emperor not leave the palace. Your Majesty—Your Majesty, don't go, Empress Dowager—"

Zhao Lu paused, "Shunzi, are you from my family or from the Queen Mother?"

Shunzi was startled, "I don't dare! This slave is born as the Emperor's man and dies as the Emperor's ghost, but he dare not disobey the Emperor. The slave is only worried about the emperor's safety. If the emperor encounters something outside, the empress dowager will blame it. I can't bear it."

"I am the king of a country. If the queen mother blames me, I will take the blame." Zhao Lu snorted coldly, "Do you all think that I am useless, and now even my words are not useful, right?"

"Slaves don't dare!" Shunzi almost cried out.

"Get out of the palace!" Zhao Lu walked quickly into the bedroom.

After changing his clothes, he slipped out quietly through the side door of the palace.

But the capital is so big, where can I find someone?He went to Liang Yiru's residence, but the door was closed, and he didn't know where he went.Zhao Lu was anxious and walked aimlessly on the street, only hoping to meet Xia Yu or Liang Yiru.

"My lord, go back." Shunzi said in a low voice.

"If you want to go back, go back by yourself." Zhao Lu said coldly, "I didn't find anyone, how could I go back with peace of mind? Neither of them are greedy for profit, nor are they greedy for vanity. How could they give my jade pendant to you?" Pawn sale? Unless you encounter difficulties!"

"My lord, people's hearts are unpredictable, and they cannot be guaranteed—"

Before Shunzi could finish speaking, Zhao Lu stopped and gave him a hard look, "If they are really such people, then I'll ask them clearly, so as to end this friendship."

While talking, Xiangyi shouted, "Young Master Huang, Young Master Huang!"

Zhao Lu was ecstatic, "Finally found it!" Yin Luo stepped forward, "Xiangyi, where's your young master?"

"My lord is waiting inside. I invite Mr. Huang to go in with my servant." Xiangyi waited at the intersection early in order to wait for Zhao Lu to come.Now, it's finally time.

The person sitting by the window is not Liang Yiru or anyone else.

"Brother." Liang Yiru stood up.

"What's the matter?" Zhao Lu spoke before he sat down.

Liang Yiru sighed softly, with a solemn expression, "Ah Yu has an accident."

Zhao Lu widened his eyes, "What?"

Now that he has come, Liang Yiru believes that Zhao Lu is not the kind of villain who tends to power, nor is he a cold person, so he tells the whole story about Xia Yu.

"Murder?" Zhao Lu frowned, "Third brother can kill? You bastard! What do these people from the Ministry of Punishment do for food! They are such bastards with the imperial salary!"

Liang Yiru sighed softly, "I really have no choice but to ask Shunzi to find you. I hope elder brother doesn't mind if I offend you. I have no choice but to make such a bad plan. It's out of necessity."

Zhao Lu waved his hand and took out the jade pendant from his bosom, "I said earlier that if you have any difficulties, just come to the gate of the palace to find me. The second brother is too cautious, maybe he thinks I will die without saving him?"

Glancing at the jade pendant in Zhao Lu's hand, Liang Yiru smiled coldly, "Murder is a felony, many people are afraid of avoiding it, and want to be alone. This is human nature, how can I put too much bet on you. What's more , this matter is too involved now, even if you come, you may not be able to let Ah Yu escape. If not, it will implicate you instead. "

"Ah Yu and I are childhood sweethearts, and running around for Ah Yu is a duty-bound thing. But you are different. Since you are walking in the palace, you are a person with a bright future. If you are not willing to help, take care of yourself. It's justifiable. At that time, it will be returned as the original, and you will not be implicated when the time comes."

Zhao Lu was startled for a while, and looked Liang Yiru up and down, "Second brother's deep thinking really makes people admire him."

"It's just treating it with a normal heart. How can you be so thoughtful." Liang Yiru took the bank note from Xiangyi, smiled and said, "Return the original."

Zhao Lu chuckled, "Second brother is amazing." After speaking, he pushed the jade pendant down in front of Liang Yiru, and Shunzi quickly took back the banknote.

Liang Yiru touched the half of the jade pendant in his hand, thinking about Xia Yu's current situation in the prison, he couldn't help worrying, "A Yu likes to be free, and now he is locked in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, I don't know what will happen."

"Don't worry, since I know about this matter, I will definitely take care of it." Zhao Lu rolled his eyes coldly.

Shunzi pursed her lips, "My lord, both the Palace of Prince Rui and the Prince Regent's Palace have meddled in this matter, you are getting in the way, and I am afraid it will make things even more chaotic. Otherwise, find a trustworthy person, so as not to be blamed from time to time, my lord you--"

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Zhao Lu scolded coldly, "Even if this matter is not about my brother-in-law, human life is at stake, so how can it be a trifle? Whose life is not life?" Don't worry, I'm going home now, and this matter is on me. The matter of the third brother is my business, with me here, let's see who dares to touch him. "

Liang Yiru got up, bowed and bowed, "Thank you."

"Between brothers, there is no need to be polite." Zhao Lu supported him, "I still say the same thing, if you have any difficulties, just come to me. As long as I can do it, I will do my best."

"Be true to your love, and treat each other with all your heart. In the future, whatever Yiru can do, big brother will say it's okay." Liang Yiru smiled.

The two walked out of the teahouse side by side, and the sky outside was already dark.

"Actually, I really admire the character of my second brother. There are many people in this world, not to mention childhood sweethearts, even family friends, if they encounter such a thing, they will be afraid to avoid it. It's not like you, second brother, who are still running around eagerly." Run west. You should understand that if it's an ordinary case, it's not easy to provoke the Prince Regent's Palace." Zhao Lu said as he walked.

Liang Yiru nodded, "I can't just sit and wait for death just because I provoked the Prince Regent's House. Otherwise, Ah Yu will die."

Zhao Lu nodded, "It's true."

While talking, Zhao Lu turned his head slightly, but Liang Yiru pressed his wrist, "Don't look back."

Zhao Lu was taken aback, "Someone is following."

Liang Yiru nodded, "Later, you try to go to places where there are many people, and I will lead them away. You can go as far as you can."

"What about you?" Zhao Lu lowered his voice.

"They have followed since I walked into the teahouse, and they are obviously coming for me." Liang Yiru let go of his hand, smiled faintly, with gentle and refined eyebrows, "I can't save Ah Yu, I just hope you can help her .If it can save her life, I will do anything worthwhile."

After saying that, Liang Yiru bowed towards Zhao Lu, and then quickly walked towards another road.
