Uncle Nine

Chapter 159 I suddenly want to eat your candied haws
Zhao Lu was in a panic, how could he make up his mind.For a moment, there was complete silence in the Golden Palace, and a needle could be heard falling.

Dongfang Yue took a deep breath, and for some reason suddenly slowed down his voice, "Qi Zou the Emperor, I think this matter needs to be investigated, if it is easy to conclude next time, if Prince Rui is wronged, wouldn't it be a loss to the country?"

In the end, no one expected that Dongfang Yue would actually speak up for Zhao Shuo.

Only Zhao Shuo knew what Dongfang Yue was up to.

Liang Yiru stepped forward, "Your Majesty, what Su Guogong said is justified, and I agree with you."

All the officials also saluted, "The ministers and others seconded the proposal."

Hearing this, Zhao Lu finally breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Uncle Huang has made great contributions to the court, so how could he do such a thing. I will send people to investigate these unwarranted things in detail, and I will never wrong a good person."

"The emperor is wise." All the officials praised.

Yuan Hao and Heli looked at each other, each with a cold smile.

When the court came down, Liang Yiru and Zhao Shuo walked slowly in the palace road, the high wall stood tall, and all the officials had left.Just like last time, Liang Yiru slowly followed behind Zhao Shuo, "Duke Su suddenly retorted, the lord is probably aware of it?"

Zhao Shuo paused, "Don't you know it in your heart?"

Liang Yiru chuckled, "The weasel has no good intentions in wishing the chicken a New Year."

"It's not just a lack of good intentions. Only when you have done enough on the surface can you be ruthless in the dark." With his hands behind his back, Zhao Shuo looked at the slightly gray sky, "This year's weather seems to be getting colder, and it hasn't fallen yet. over snow."

Liang Yiru lowered his eyes, "There is no snow all year round in Daizhou Prefecture. I have always heard people say that the auspicious snow is a sign of a good year, and now I finally have the opportunity to see it."

"It's better not to be cold." Zhao Shuo continued to walk forward.

Liang Yiru looked up at the gray sky, "Why are you freezing? If your heart is warm, your body will naturally be warm too." He sighed softly, "She said, if you can see snow falling, you must taste the snow .”

Zhao Shuo frowned slightly, "Bland and tasteless, what kind of taste can there be?"

"My lord, be careful." Liang Yiru returned to the topic, "Duke Su is going to trip you up again."

"Even if I don't speak up, do you think this matter can be hidden?" Zhao Shuo asked.

Liang Yiru shook his head, "Of course I can't hide it, but if the prince himself said it, the suspicion would be almost eliminated. It's just that the prince, the arrows flying in the palace, probably have other meanings!"

Zhao Shuo smiled, "No one has noticed, only you know. You are helping the emperor with government affairs. Have you ever had contact with the minister of Dali Temple?"

"Is the prince suspicious of him?" Liang Yiru paused, "He seldom speaks, and he rarely makes mistakes. He is really not attracting attention usually."

"Look carefully, no matter how deep you hide, sometimes your tail will show." Zhao Shuo walked away with a flick of his sleeves.

Liang Yiru's heart trembled slightly, this Dali Siqing is no small character, how could he do such a thing?I'm afraid that the person behind it has a lot of background, and it's really not simple.

Seeing Zhao Shuo leave, Liang Yiru also walked out of the palace gate.

As soon as he arrived at the gate of the palace, he saw Xiangyi waiting anxiously. When he saw Liang Yiru coming out, he rushed to meet him, "My lord, someone from the family is here. I'm waiting to see you, but I don't know what happened."

"Who is the head of the family?" Liang Yiru was startled.

Xiangyi nodded, "It is said that the eldest lady gave you a letter and asked you to open it and read it yourself. She is still waiting in the mansion, just waiting for the young master to come down."

"Go back." Liang Yiru quickly got into the car and hurried back.

Liang's father is the official of the parents, and the family is afraid that there is nothing missing. The eldest sister suddenly wrote a letter, and there is probably something wrong in the family.I don't know if it's because my father is uneasy, or——is there any difficulty?
I hope it's not a letter asking for an official.

The first time he returned to Shaofu's mansion, he received the family members.It is true that they came from the state government, and they are the servants of the eldest sister.

The visitor said, "This letter was written by the eldest lady alone, and has nothing to do with the master. It's just that the eldest lady couldn't bear it, so she wrote a letter."

Liang Yiru didn't understand, they were all in the same family, why did they speak so out of the ordinary.Hastily opened the letter, and after just one glance, his expression changed drastically, and he froze on the spot.After reading the entire letter, Liang Yiru sat on the stool for an instant, staring straight at the first few lines of words: Daizhou is full of flowers, people destroy the building and die, and burn it.Counting the number of people, there are more than 130, all of whom are beyond recognition, utterly miserable.Come to think of it, it is already extinct.

"Young Master? What's wrong with you, Young Master?" Xiangyi was stunned.

Liang Yiru put down the letter and reached out to hold the cup, but his hands trembled unbearably.The cup and the lid are constantly colliding lightly, making a frightening porcelain crisp sound.His complexion was pale, and his calm eyes were filled with a bit of fear at the moment.

"Are they all dead?" Liang Yiru asked with a trembling voice.

The visitor bowed his head and saluted, "Young master, they all died, and none of them survived. In addition, the eldest lady also quietly asked the master, saying that they are the couple from the Lian Xia family, the proprietress of the silk shop, Mi Zhuang's third aunt, as well as the women of Huo's family, etc., seem to have disappeared. The headhunter searched all over Daizhou, but couldn't find any traces, so I wondered if they were all burned to death in Huamanlou The number of missing people, plus the original number of people in Huamanlou, is exactly the number of deaths, one is not too many, one is not too many."

Eyes closed heavily, Liang Yiru frowned, and tightly clenched the cup in his hand, as if he wanted to crush the cup.

Xiangyi hurriedly said, "Young master, don't worry, maybe those people just disappeared, or—"

"Let's all go down!" Liang Yiru's voice was cold, his eyes were red, "Also, this matter is not allowed to be revealed, anyone who dares to chew their tongues outside, I will break their legs, understand?"

"Yes." Xiangyi quickly retreated with the man.

How to do it?

Huamanlou is gone, if Xia Yu finds out, what will be the consequences?
"Will she collapse?" Liang Yiru said to himself, his hands still trembling uncontrollably.The next moment, he stood up suddenly, the cup in his hand fell to the ground with a slam, and the tea splashed everywhere.He wanted to go find her, but—he stopped at the door.

Xia Yu is not a fool, if she goes to her for no reason, she will definitely ask what's wrong.

However - the panic in my heart is beyond words.

He had never been so panic-stricken as at this moment, because no one knew better than him what Huamanlou and Xia's couple meant to Xia Yu.It was all she had, all she could be proud of, the source of all her strength.

Without them, it would mean losing half her life.

Frantically rushing out of Shaofu's mansion, Liang Yiru kept running, kept running, panting without daring to stop, from Shaofu's mansion to Prince Rui's mansion.He wanted to see her, and when he heard that she was injured, he didn't dare to go to see her, and now——he really couldn't hold back.

Xia Yu just drank the medicine and lay down, but heard the guards outside the door reporting that Liang Shaofu was waiting at the gate, but he ran all the way here.

"The carriage is broken?" Xia Yu scratched the back of her neck. Luo Hua happened to be away. Li Huan came back and went to the study with Zhao Shuo. It would be okay to sneak out for a while.Quickly got out of bed, Xia Yu quietly left Yangxin Pavilion.

Sure enough, Liang Yiru sat on the stone steps at the door, resting his hands on his forehead, as if something was wrong.

Xia Yu walked over, "A nerd?"

Liang Yiru got up suddenly, and quickly walked up to her, "Ah Yu?"

"What's the matter?" Xia Yu smiled, "You don't look happy at all, did you meet some girl and asked me to be your matchmaker? It's easy to say, what we Huamanlou do is laughing and cursing business , keep you—”

"Ah Yu!" He hugged her suddenly, tightly not allowing her to say a word.

Xia Yu was stunned, unable to understand for a while, what happened?What kind of crazy is Liang Yiru doing?She patted him on the back and let him hold him, still smiling heartlessly, "Oh, man, how did you become so fragile? Tell me, if you have anything to ask of me, brother, I will definitely go through fire and water No hesitation."

Liang Yiru's lips were tightly lined, his brows were wrinkled, and he let go of his hands slowly after a long time, but he clenched her shoulders tightly, smiling uglier than crying, "It's nothing, I just want to eat your candied haws all of a sudden. But again I don’t know where you bought it from, and you didn’t even say hello, but came to look for you. Seeing that you are fine, I feel that it’s not that important whether you eat candied haws or not.”

His words were so weird that Xia Yu couldn't figure it out for a long time, "Do you want to eat candied haws or don't you want to eat candied haws, or do you just want to see me and see if my injury is healed?"

"Whatever you say, that's what it is." Liang Yiru took a deep breath and stared at her fixedly.

Xia Yu punched him in the chest, "Look at the strength of my blow, it is enough to prove that my injury must be healed." She looked at him with a smile, "Look at how lively I am, I am not even the slightest crippled. "

Liang Yiru looked sideways, looking at the red marks on her face, "What about this one?"

She stroked her cheek and pouted, "Isn't it just a red mark? It will be fine in a while."

"Can you love yourself more, those irrelevant people, can you worry less?" he asked.

Xia Yu frowned, "Is Xunmei someone irrelevant, if it wasn't for her, you wouldn't be able to see me today."

Liang Yiru's face tightened, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

"Okay, okay, but just to talk, am I fine?" Xia Yu made a grimace, "Eating salty radishes is not a worry, I eat and drink well, you can rest assured. If you want to eat candied haws, let Let Xiangyi say something, I will personally send it to you next time."

"Okay." Liang Yiru nodded and sighed softly, "Go back and rest!"

Xia Yu nodded, "You—really have nothing else to do?"

Nothing important, just trotting all the way here for the candied haws, a frail scholar?Shao Fu's residence is not close to Prince Rui's residence at all.Xia Yu stared at him with wide eyes, with question marks on his face.

Liang Yiru replied with a smile, but still just shook his head.

"Well, since you don't tell me, I won't ask." Xia Yu pursed her lips and smiled, she can do what he can do to her.If he doesn't want to talk, she will never ask more.

Taking a deep breath, Liang Yiru turned to leave, but he turned around three times in one step.

Xia Yu stood at the door, watching Liang Yiru walk away.

Behind him, the chilly voice was extremely cold, "Do you want me to give him a ride?"

Xia Yu turned around suddenly, but was directly hugged by someone around the waist, and directly into his arms.Those peach-blossom eyes were unabated, piercingly cold.Just like that, it hit her eyes all of a sudden, and even her heart skipped a beat.

"Zhao Laojiu?" Xia Yu puffed her cheeks, "Are you a cat? Walking silently?"

"My king's cat is here, eating from the bowl and looking at the pot. Now, I don't know what is hidden in this heart." Zhao Shuo raised the corners of his lips, showing a wicked smile that was not a smile.With those peach blossom eyes, he became more and more seductive, "Do you feel that the life is too comfortable, and the bones need to be loosened?"

The corner of Xia Yu's mouth twitched, and he swallowed, "Master, this is brotherhood, isn't it—"

"Not what?" He raised an eyebrow.

"There are so many people watching!" Xia Yu wanted to push him away, but she was picked up by him, and walked towards the Yangxin Pavilion in front of everyone.

"If you don't like it, I'll let them dig out the eyeballs." Zhao Shuo said as he walked.

Xia Yu curled her lips, "Nonsense." But she liked it in her heart, so she simply hugged his neck tightly, and leaned her head gently on his shoulder, "Master, let me tell you a secret." She gently moved her lips Leaning close to his ear, "Bookworm, it's my brother, Zhao Laojiu, it's my—"

She paused, and didn't continue speaking as if playing tricks. He stopped and gave her a sideways look.

She glanced back at him, but said nothing.

"Go back and deal with you." Zhao Shuo chuckled disdainfully.

It's just that the footsteps are so heavy.Her face was still unmoved, she was the only one in her eyes, but she was not feeling well in her heart.

Li Huan watched from a distance, his eyes darkened, but he was powerless.Once a lot of things happen, there is no possibility of reversal, and there is no way to talk about making up.If in the past, he was just an insignificant person, but now - who is whose weakness?

With a sigh, if there is a weakness in life, then it is not considered a visit to the world, a waste of time.

Little did he know that Ye Eryu, who was at the corner of the corridor, had already gritted his teeth with hatred.

Normally Zhao Shuo treated Xia Yu well and often heard about it, but this time——she saw it for real, Zhao Shuo carried Xia Yu back to the Yangxin Pavilion.Two big men hugging each other, doesn't that confirm Zhao Shuo's reputation as a good man?
From this point of view, Zhao Shuo really doesn't like women anymore.

How could this make Ye Eryu feel so embarrassed?

The future Princess Rui witnessed with her own eyes the love and friendship between Prince Rui and the male favorite, but she could only be envious and jealous, and there was nothing she could do.

"Miss, when I went back to the general's mansion last time, I heard from the old lady in the mansion that there is a woman in the front street who is especially good at the magic of ghosts." Xing'er lowered her voice and said mysteriously, "I heard that if you can cast spells with Wu, even if you don't see yourself, you can kill someone. Miss, why don't we try?"

"What, you want me to find such a lowly person?" Ye Eryu said coldly.

Xing'er immediately bowed her head and did not dare to say more.

But after thinking about it, thinking of Zhao Shuo and Xia Yu Qingqing, Ye Eryu's heart was like a cat scratching, "Does it really work?"

"It's rare to ask for a thousand pieces of gold." Xing'er lowered her voice.

"If such a person really exists—" Ye Eryu bit her lip, "I can't lower my status, understand?"

Xing'er nodded, "Miss, don't worry."

Since ancient times, the art of witchcraft has been harmful to people. If Zhao Shuo finds out about the art of witchcraft in Prince Rui's residence, I'm afraid——so we must be careful.But if he could kill Xia Yu without any effort, it would be a good deal.
