Uncle Nine

Chapter 198

"What are you panicking about? What are you shouting for?" Zhao Yan panted, her slightly frowned brows were smoothed away in an instant, as if nothing had happened, she wiped the blood from her lips nonchalantly, "I'm fine, no one is allowed Chewing your tongue, do you understand?"

Lanzhu and Yuzhu nodded, "Yes."

"Handle it with care, don't let anyone see it." Zhao Yan handed the blood-stained scarf to Lan Zhu, "Just pretend it never happened."

"But the princess's health is going from bad to worse. It's really not a long-term solution." Lan Zhu put the blood-stained scarf into her sleeves, her brows were filled with worry, "It's really not possible, the servants should let them know and let them hurry up."

Zhao Yan took a deep breath, "What's the use of being quick? At most, it's just a restraint. If it's really feasible, it won't be more than ten years without a feasible method. I just have a breath of life to hold on to my life. I still have unfulfilled wishes, and I don’t want to die hastily like this. Otherwise, why would I bother dragging a crippled body and lingering on my last breath.”

Lan Zhu lowered her eyes, "Princess, don't think like this. The princess is a thousand years old, and the future will be long."

"There has never been a long-lived person in the world, let alone a thousand-year-old life. I don't want to be a thousand years old. I just want to live a few more years, so that I can--" She choked up with a smile, "But now it seems that it is also a luxury. My disease is It won't get better, and I don't expect anything else, I just hope to get better, reduce some pain, and then do what I want to do."

"Princess is sure." Lan Zhu helped Zhao Yan get up.

Zhao Yan chuckled twice, and looked at the direction where the horse disappeared, "Lanzhu, I feel tired."

"If the princess feels tired, go back and rest earlier!" Lan Zhu whispered.

"But I have been resting for more than ten years, why am I still so tired. What would it be like if I was replaced by someone one day? Is it desolation, or relief?" Zhao Yan asked with a smile, with tears in her eyes Turning in the pupil.

Sometimes, a person who knows too many secrets but is powerless is a torture more terrible than death.

Life is better than death, but you cannot die.

The secret was fermented in the heart, gradually rotting the body, rotting the soul, and gradually getting lost in it, unable to extricate itself.

It is said that in addition to teeth, there is also love that is difficult to extricate oneself.

Xia Yu felt that Zhao Laojiu was an excuse for her own sinking. The surroundings were as dark as ink, and she was besieged in his world, bumping along with him.The sound of hoofbeats was accompanied by a horse cry.

He brought her back to Prince Rui's residence.

The moment the black cloak was taken off, the world was brightly lit up. She narrowed her eyes uncomfortably, but she was quickly carried off the horse by him and carried into Prince Rui's residence.Regardless of other people's strange gazes, he only cares about his own way and pampers her.

Regardless of whether he is absurd or not, if you accompany me to warm wine and kneel, I will promise you eternal peace.

That's it.

"Zhao Laojiu, handsome!" She hugged his neck tightly with a smile.

The moment he stepped into the Yangxin Pavilion, he finally let go, and let out a breath of relief, "In the future, without the approval of the master, you are not allowed to step into the palace, do you understand?"

"Is your nodding more effective than the emperor's?" Xia Yu asked.As soon as these words came out, Xia Yu was startled, and then smiled a little forcedly, "If that's the case, don't you think you will—"

"That's not something you should worry about." Zhao Shuo held her cold hand tightly, and her hand was always so cold that it made people feel distressed.The warmth conveyed by the palm is the tenderness and consideration he gives.After a pause, he took her into his arms and whispered in his ear, "If it's what you think, will you be afraid?"

"I'm afraid you will be in danger." She responded by hugging his waist.

Zhao Shuo smiled, "Master's little cat, so good."

She looked up and gave a grinning "meow".

It's just that Xia Yu thought that everything had settled down, but there was another wave of unrest.

The matter on this side has not yet ended, but Luo Hua has disappeared.

She thought she was going to rest somewhere, or went to the street for something, but at dusk, Luo Hua was nowhere to be seen, and Xia Yu became a little anxious.

Xunmei and Anu strode into the door, Xia Yu hurriedly asked, "How, did you find it?"

"No, I searched so many streets and alleys in the capital, and I almost dig a mouse hole. There is no trace of Luo Hua. When we broke up, I told her to come back and wait. According to Luo Hua She is so thoughtful, it is impossible for her to ignore the young master. She is more anxious than anyone else when the young master enters the palace, how could she go to the street! I guess, she should still be in the mansion." Xunmei said.

Xia Yu frowned, "She doesn't have many relatives inside and outside the capital, and she really has nowhere to go except Prince Rui's Mansion."

Anu shook his head, "I have searched all over the house, but there is nothing."

"What about the backyard?" Xia Yu asked.

Anu lowered her eyes, "The people living in the backyard are all the faces of the prince, and—" She hesitated, "The Peony Garden is the residence of the future princess, and no one dares to go in."

"Where are you going?" Xia Yu pursed her lips and sat down, her mind spinning quickly, "Xunmei, try to go out of the city to look for it. Anu, you continue to search in the mansion. Don't dare to go in during the day, you don't dare to go in at night. Take a look quietly, don't disturb the masters of the courtyards, you can do this!"

Anu nodded, "Yes."

"The young master doubts that Luo Hua went outside the city?" Xun Mei took a deep breath, "But I have also been outside the city, and I have never met Luo Hua."

"As long as there is a slight possibility, don't let it go." Xia Yu only felt a little inexplicable panic in her heart, and she couldn't explain why, but she always felt that there was a breath in her chest, and she couldn't swallow it or spit it out.

In Luohua's room, there are neatly arranged embroidery tools.Needlework cloth, the clothes have been cut completely, only the final seaming work is left.Those thick-soled boots have already been packed, and her favorite dandelion is embroidered on the boots.

Luo Hua knew that Xia Yu liked to dress up as a man and rarely needed embroidered shoes, so she simply made a pair of thick-soled boots for her to make her walk more comfortable.

Luo Hua won't leave until these things are done.

If it has been a long time before returning, everyone will know that it may be more ominous than ominous.Otherwise, no one in Prince Rui's Palace would dare to touch her easily.There is only one thing, that is, Luo Hua may have discovered some secrets that should not be known to others, and that's why she suddenly disappeared.

Either encountered an accident, or was killed.

There is still the possibility of surviving the accident, if it is man-made, just wait for the body to be found.

Xia Yu, Xunmei, and Anu were all over the capital looking for someone, and they were going crazy looking for them, but they couldn't find them.Zhao Shuo asked Li Huan to send people to look for them, but the crowd was vast, and the Imperial Forest Army could not be dispatched inside and outside the capital to look for them, otherwise the peace of the people would be disturbed.

Xia Yu couldn't sleep all night, searching all night.

The matter of disappearance cannot be slack for a moment, every second must be raced, otherwise Luo Hua will be delayed even if she still has a glimmer of life.This is human life, a living human life!
However, some people can't sleep all night, and some people have a romantic night.

Zhenyuanhou Mansion.

Shuying has been ill for the past two days, and because Xie Huan left, Xie Yun had to deal with important military and political affairs alone, as well as many tedious matters left behind by Xie Huan. He was busy all day long and couldn't care about Shuying's illness.

As the wife of the Hou's mansion, Shang Qingluan thought that she should come to visit, so as not to let the outsiders see the joke.

"Miss is really going?" Yun'er carefully put on the cloak for Shang Qingluan, "It's cold outside, miss be careful."

"It's okay, people who practice martial arts, this cold air can still be tolerated." Shang Qingluan stepped out and went out. During the past few days of recuperation, Shuang'er's body has recovered for the most part, and now she has returned to the side to serve.

The wind outside is a bit cold, bitingly cold.

After entering the Liulan Pavilion, Shuying was still resting on the soft couch, her complexion was slightly sick and pale, and she looked dying.This sick and weak Xizi is indeed a source of love and pity.No matter which man it is, seeing such a weak beauty, I am afraid that he will feel the desire to protect him.

"Ma'am?" Shuying forced herself to stand up and salute.

"I'm sick, so I don't need to salute, just sit down!" Shang Qingluan walked in quickly and sat down neatly, "I heard that you have a cold occasionally, so come and have a look."

"It's cold outside, why is Madam here?" Shuying coughed lightly, and after Fuyue saluted Shang Qingluan, she sat up with Shuying's arm and leaned the soft cushion behind Shuying.

Shang Qingluan took off the shawl on her body and smiled gently, "The coolest thing is not the heart, and we martial arts practitioners can still bear this wind. How can we be so weak like Aunt Shu? In the future, And pointing at my younger sister to give Lord Hou more children!"

Shuying smiled, "I'm afraid my body won't be able to do it anymore. The matter of inheriting the heirs must be done by my wife." She coughed lightly, her eyebrows drooped slightly, and she looked weak, "In the future, my wife will have a child. That is Xiao Shizi, the hope of the Zhenyuanhou Mansion."

"The matter of heirs is God's will. You shouldn't ask for it, so you won't ask for it." Shang Qingluan smiled, and saw the maidservant bring up chicken soup, "Listen, the chicken in Liulan Pavilion is exclusively for you. Lord Hou Sure enough, he is a caring person, and you should cherish it when he treats you like this. Get well soon, or it won’t be a big deal for Master Hou to not return all day long, what do you think?"

Fuyue took the chicken soup carefully.

Shang Qingluan got up, "Drink the chicken soup while it's hot, and it should change its taste when it's cold." She casually walked to Shuying's vanity mirror, glanced at the hairpin box and rouge powder on the table, "I heard you I'm from Huamanlou in Daizhou, if I want to wear this costume, it must be amazing, can you teach me in the future?"

Shuying drank half a small cup of chicken soup, smiled lightly, but the cold sharpness flashed across her eyes, "Madam is naturally beautiful, so I don't need Shuying's teaching. If Madam really likes it, Shuying is willing to serve Madam for a long time. I also hope Madam will not be disgusted."

"Your things are naturally the best." Shang Qingluan picked up the rouge powder on the side, sniffed it lightly in his nose, frowned slightly, then put it down, and went to get the hairpin box on the side, " This hairpin box is extraordinarily delicate!"

"That's—" Shuying got up quickly, stepped forward in three steps at a time, and then panted heavily, "Ma'am, this is a gift from my good sister, please don't move around."

"Good sister? You also come from Huamanlou?" Shang Qingluan calmly weighed the hairpin box in his hand, then smiled, "So what if I just look at it? I won't keep it for myself, are you afraid What? Could it be that the things inside are not visible to anyone?"

After saying that, she stretched out her hand to open it.

Shuying was overjoyed, it was you who were waiting——

When he went to snatch it, maybe Shang Qingluan was careless for a moment, and the hairpin box was thrown to the ground by Shuying.

"My hairpin!" Shuying exclaimed, and hurriedly knelt down to pick it up.The hairpin inside was already broken into pieces.She raised her head and looked at Shang Qingluan with tears streaming down her face, "This is a gift from my best friend. This is the only one, how can you do this? Even if Madam doesn't like me, what's wrong with this hairpin? Why would Madam do this?"

As he spoke, he sobbed softly, and fell to the ground, seemingly dying.

Hurrying footsteps came from outside the door, accompanied by Xie Yun's low shout, "What's the matter?" When I entered the door, I saw Shu Ying, who had fallen to the ground at the first glance, and Shuying, who was about to pass out, raised his eyebrows, "Shang Qingluan, what are you doing?" What have you done?"

He stepped forward quickly, picked up Shuying, walked quickly to the edge of the bed, and placed Shuying on the bed.

A pair of cold eyes stared directly at Shang Qingluan's coldly and coldly, "You did a good job!"

"Hou Ye, my hairpin! This is sent from Prince Rui's residence, what should I do? If outsiders know, if Prince Rui angers Hou Ye, Shuying will die." Shuying sobbed, "If Prince Rui's residence is to blame, Shuying is willing to bear the responsibility alone, but also to Lord Hou, don't want to protect her."

"What frustrating words are you talking about!" Xie Yun scolded Fuyue coldly, "What are you still doing in a daze, why don't you go to the doctor soon?"

Fuyue ran away.

"What are you still standing there for, go back!" Xie Yun scolded angrily.

Shang Qingluan didn't explain, just smiled indifferently, saluted and turned to leave.

"Wait, what are you laughing at?" Xie Yun asked coldly.

At the door, Shang Qingluan paused, and turned leisurely to look at Xie Yun, who was full of anger, "Gentle Township, Hero Tomb." She glanced at Shuying, "You can't live without doing your own crimes."

After speaking, he walked away without hesitation.

"If the elder sister hadn't handed over Xie's army's military power to her, how could I tolerate her!" Xie Yun gritted her teeth.

Shuying broke down in tears, holding the hairpin box as if her heart ached.Seeing Xie Yun hurt even more, wishing he could just put her in his mouth.

Yun'er, on the other hand, was furious, "Why didn't Miss just explain to Master Hou?"

"The hairpin was originally broken." Shang Qingluan glanced at her indifferently, "What do I want to explain? They deliberately set the trap, and you hooked it yourself, who can you blame?"

Yun'er was startled, "Miss, what you mean is that the hairpin was originally broken."

"I put it in my palm and weighed it, and there was a slight sound in it. For martial arts practitioners, the strength is naturally accurate. Is she just such a trick?" Shang Qingluan sighed softly.

"Then why did Miss take the bait?" Yun'er was puzzled.

"Know yourself, know your enemy, and win a hundred battles." Shang Qingluan sat in the pavilion with her sleeves waved, "If I don't know how much she weighs, can I still have fun in the future? The Tao Te Ching says, if you want to get rid of it, you must stick to it "If you want to take it away, you must give it firmly. If you want to destroy it, you must first learn it. Understand?"

Yun'er seems to understand a little bit, although she doesn't understand literary things, but she can still understand a little bit of her young lady's thoughts.

The young lady is used to doing things in an orderly manner, since she dared to jump into Shuying's pit by herself, she must have been fully prepared.

What's more, with the military power in hand, even Xie Yun can't do anything to her.
