Uncle Nine

Chapter 248

The news of Xia Yu's imprisonment spread quickly, and everyone inside and outside the palace knew it clearly.Escaping from the dead is still throwing oneself into the trap after all.No one knew why Xia Yu wanted to go back to the palace, why she risked her life to meet the Queen Mother Bao Yao, they all thought she was a fool with no idea.

But Zhao Shuo understood that every heart has a scar.

Bao Yao and Dongfang Yue are the indelible scars in Xia Yu's heart.

If she doesn't let herself face it, sooner or later, she will die of worry and worry.One should face one's own heart and the unbearable past in order to understand the value of one's own existence between gains and losses.

Anu knelt in front of Zhao Shuo, "Your subordinate is guilty, please punish me."

"She still knows." Zhao Shuo stood in front of the window, his eyes were long and deep, but there was a sense of relief, "This is what she should know, and I just want these things to come later and later. Some. But in the end, I still know it. It’s good if I know it, if I can pass this test, it will be a sunny day.”

The night is as cold as water, and my heart is worried, I wish I could have wings and fly to her side.

But he understands that she needs to be quiet at this moment, and his appearance will only make her collapse and be vulnerable.Some things, some pains, some hurdles, no one can replace.

Xia He stood aside anxiously, "Is Ah Yu okay?"

Anu frowned.

"This king won't allow it, who would dare?" Zhao Shuo gave him a sideways look.

With just this glance, Xia He seemed to see the fleeting worry and distress in his eyes.Zhao Shuo cared, but there were some things that Xia Yu had to go through by herself.

Saying that you are not worried or afraid is more ridiculous than deceiving yourself.

"Ah Yu is still pregnant, this day-" Xia He rubbed her hands nervously.

"When she sees the person she wants to see, she will come out." Zhao Shuo whispered, "With her temperament, she is not afraid of the sky and the earth. She will not die until she reaches the Yellow River, and she will not look back until she hits the south wall."

Xia He sighed softly, that's the reason.

Once Xia Yu's temperament came up, the nine cows would not be able to pull back.

Zhao Shuo didn't worry about the inside of the palace, only outside the palace.

Outside the palace, Zhao Yu and Dongfang Xu will definitely take action once they know that Xia Yu is not dead.Zhao Yu must be worried that if the news of Xia Yu's death spreads, the self in Qingwu Palace will cheer up and come back out of the mountains and rivers.Then, both of them thought about threatening him with Xia Yu.

The 20 troops in their hands, they couldn't find the tiger talisman, so naturally they couldn't mobilize them. Once Zhao Shuo raised his arms and shouted, the 20 troops would be enough to break through the entire capital.

He never thought that Xia Yu would be in danger, but this time, he might change his plan.

All itineraries are scheduled in advance.

Looking at the sky, standing with hands behind hands, I have mixed feelings in my heart.

Sure enough, when Zhao Yu heard the news that Xia Yu was alive, he was stunned.

"What did you say?" Zhao Yu was stunned, "Caught in the prison?"

Sun Qi nodded, "Yes, now the emperor has ordered that he intrudes into the palace and hijacks the empress dowager to be imprisoned in the prison. This matter has been spread throughout the palace, and it is absolutely impossible to fake it." After a pause, Sun Qi Then he said, "My lord, it's time to make a decision. Xia Yu is still in prison without dying. I'm afraid those two from Qingwu Palace and Prince Regent's Mansion will not be reconciled."

Zhao Yu raised his eyebrows suddenly, "You mean Dongfang Xu will—"

"Using the emperor to command the princes, this kind of drama has been played countless times throughout the ages, but there are always people who never tire of it. Your lord, if you win Xia Yu, it is equivalent to winning the 20 army in Prince Rui's hands. In this way, the odds of winning I'm afraid it's more than half. The Prince Regent's Mansion already has a sharpshooter army in its hands, plus the 20 army in Prince Rui's hands, the consequences will be disastrous." Sun Qi stared.

Zhao Yu nodded, "That's right, but isn't it too late to say these things now? Prince Rui will never be ignorant of Xia Yu's matter. Now that Xia Yu appeared openly, his old minions, He will definitely protect Xia Yu as soon as possible. Zhao Shuo and Dongfang Yue have fought for half a lifetime, and their roots are extremely deep, especially in the imperial palace, where there are many party members."

"My lord, we have already united the Ye family and the foreigners, and there is still time to start an incident. Dongfang Xu is not at all good, just because he may not be able to control the sharpshooter in a while. And Prince Rui is still trapped in the palace, Leaving the palace is tantamount to absconding in fear of crime. The present timing is the best for us." Sun Qi sneered, "If the emperor wants to kill Xia Yu, Prince Rui will definitely be the enemy of the emperor. A woman, as long as Can make them into a mess, the prince can just take it out of the chaos."

"It's so good." Zhao Yu raised his eyebrows coldly.

Sun Qidao, "There are still more than ten days before the year before, how about—"

Zhao Yu gritted his teeth, "Chinese New Year? When the cannon fires at the end of the new year, the lights of thousands of houses are dimmed."

"Understood!" Sun Qi bowed his head, "I will arrange it immediately, and clear all obstacles in the shortest possible time." After speaking, he knelt down on the ground with a plop, "I will see the emperor for my humble appointment, and I wish my emperor long live and long live."

Hearing this, Zhao Yu raised his head and laughed, so smug that he couldn't see his face, "Okay! When I can achieve my great career, I will definitely make you the founding father of the country."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Sun Qi was delighted.

--------------

Regent House.

Dongfang Xu was stunned, "What did you say?"

Official Yun bowed his head, respectful, "Xia Yu is in the sky prison, and he said that he kidnapped the Empress Dowager, and the arrest order was issued by the emperor himself."

"Heaven prison?" Dongfang Xu narrowed his eyes coldly, "I knew she was not dead. But I didn't expect that she would throw herself into a trap and go to the palace, and dare to find the queen mother." He was slightly startled, "The Queen Mother didn't say anything?"

"No." Yun Guan shook his head, "The empress dowager didn't say anything. After the incident, the empress dowager stayed behind closed doors, as if nothing had happened. However, according to the palace staff of Ci'an Palace, after Xia Yu was imprisoned, The Empress Dowager is crying."

Dongfang Xu was silent.

Cried?That means Xia Yu knows the truth.

With a wry smile, Dongfang Xu put his hand on the edge of the fish tank with a mocking coldness, and slowly slid, "I finally know, there is an inescapable doom. I thought that everything will be lost when a person dies." So far, I didn’t expect—death is just the beginning. This level, no one can escape, and no one can get through it.”

"There are causes and effects." Yun Guan sighed softly.

"I don't believe in cause and effect." Dongfang Xu was fiddling with water lilies on the water surface. "If there is really cause and effect, and there are more than a thousand souls who died in my hands, then I should have died a long time ago?" Fingertips picked up the clear water, and there was a gurgling sound He said, "Keep an eye on Prince Mao's Mansion, Zhao Yu will never miss this great opportunity."

"My lord, aren't you worried about Qingwu Palace?" Yun Guan frowned.

Dongfang Xu snorted coldly, "Qingwu Palace? Is that Zhao Yu of yours a fool? When Xia Yu was arrested, Zhao Yu would make people stare at Qingwu Palace the first time. Since he is staring at him, why should we bother? With Zhao Yu here, nothing will happen to Qingwu Palace. Now everyone is planning on Xia Yu, including the emperor. With Xia Yu in hand, Zhao Shuo can hand over the military power."

Official Yun worried, "It's just Xia Yu, it's hard to control."

"Nonsense, it's so easy to control, Zhao Yu has already succeeded?" Dongfang Xu took a deep breath, "I'm only afraid that Xia Yu will be imprisoned, but actually he has other plans."

"Is there another plan?" Yun Guan was puzzled.

"I confronted the Queen Mother, so now is the time to confront my stepfather?" Dongfang Xu raised his eyebrows coldly, "The scene of father and daughter recognizing each other should be very touching, right? It's a pity that stepfather has killed too many people in his life. Doomed to be irreparable in this life. Xia Yu's temper is so stubborn, it's still a matter whether he can be recognized!"

Official Yun was slightly taken aback, "Isn't it good to have the Prince Regent as a father?"

"If she cares about status, then she's not Xia Yu." Dongfang Xu smiled triumphantly, "If she is worldly, can Zhao Shuo fall in love with her? It's rare for a woman to be so forthright and carefree. , and there are very few people with such deep affection. But it is also the so-called deep affection, which can survive in a desperate situation, and can easily put people to death. Xia Yu, the fault is that there is too much affection."

"The adoptive father killed her once and also killed her brother. Even if she could forgive once, she couldn't forgive the second time. So this time, the adoptive father also fell. It doesn't matter whether he is really crazy or fake. There is no way to go. This makes me happier than killing him."

It's easy to kill a person, but to keep them alive, life is worse than death, and if you can't live but can't die, that's the real joy.

With just one glance, Yun Guan was instantly terrified, especially when he met Dongfang Xu's shining eyes, his viciousness was so vicious that it made people tremble with fear.His heart has long been distorted, distorted out of shape.

In addition to Dongfang Xu, there is another one who is distorted in the same way, and that is Shuying.

A bright smile, so proud and arrogant.Even Xia De was frightened when he heard it.The sun is shining outside, but it's extremely cold inside.

"Where's my money?" Xia De stood up.

Shuying stopped laughing, turned around quietly, and looked at Xiade thoughtfully, "Don't worry, I have a lot of money, and I will never lose you a penny. It's just that we agreed, you have other things It works." Since Xia Yu is pregnant, the one in the palace must not be able to sit still.To make Xia Yu pregnant, to make Xia Yu ruin Huamanlou, Xia Yu couldn't do this alone.

So, it is very possible that Zhao Shuo has already left the palace.

And it is more likely that Zhao Shuo and Xia Yu are together.Of course, she has never mentioned this to anyone. If too many people get involved in some things, her plan will be ruined.Xia Yu should be destroyed in her hands.

Even if Xia Yu was harmed, Zhao Shuocai couldn't be spared.

Shuying smiled so coldly, her eyebrows were picturesque, but her overpowering look was so cold that people dare not approach her.

"But if that's the case, wouldn't they kill me?" Xia De was naturally afraid of death.

Shuying smiled, "Don't worry, my people will protect you anytime and anywhere. What's more, you have a son Xia He. Even if Xia Yu doesn't care about you, you should also take care of your son. Xia He treats Xia Yu that way." Nothing to say, when I was a child, I was willing to go through life and death for her. Xia Yu owed him too much, so no matter what mistakes you made, Xia Yu would not kill you. She herself has no father or mother, so she dare not let Xia He lose her father .”

Xia De nodded, Xia Yu's temperament is indeed the case.

"But how do I know where my son is?" Xia De trembled in fear.

"Go outside the city." Shuying frowned, "I will definitely find it."

Xia Yu's carriages all came in from outside the city, so it is conceivable that there must be Zhao Shuo's lair outside the city.It's just this lair, so far, Zhao Yu has not been able to find it, let alone Shuying.

But Xia De's goal is so big, it should be easy to lure Zhao Shuo and his gang.

Knowing that Xia De did such a thing to Xia Yu and exposed a secret that shouldn't be revealed, Zhao Shuo will definitely not let Xia De go.

Now that things have happened, Xia De also knows that he has made a fool of himself, so he has no choice but to bite the bullet and walk out of the city.He is now a street mouse, if he doesn't obey Shuying's orders, and if he doesn't get the money and leave, he will definitely die in the capital.

Money or life, you can only choose one.

As soon as Xia De walked out of the city gate, Zhao Shuo got the news.Xia He had been waiting for Xia Yu's follow-up news, so he followed Zhao Shuo every step of the way.Hearing that someone came to report that he had found Xia De's trace, Xia He knelt down for Zhao Shuo with a splash.

"My lord, I know my father deserves death, but—" He is also a biological father after all.

Zhao Shuo's fingers curled up in his sleeves, and with his personality, he absolutely couldn't tolerate Xia De.It's all right for Xia Yu to be safe now, if something happens, even if Xia De has a hundred lives, it's not enough to repay.

"You go and bring him back, I have something to ask him." Zhao Shuo frowned.

Xia He let out a "hey" and hurriedly followed the messenger to leave.

Anu frowned, but saw that the plum hunter behind him disappeared without a trace.

"My lord, Xunmei is gone." Anu stepped forward.

Zhao Shuo remained expressionless, "It's naturally the best for Baihua Palace to come forward."

"My lord means—" Anu Zhong was startled.

"Xiade can't die in the hands of this king, otherwise it's not easy to be a girl." Zhao Shuo sighed softly, "Xiade's life is worthless, so it's fine if he dies. However, he has a good son and raised him well." daughter."

Anu nodded, "This subordinate understands."

Some people wanted Xia De to draw Zhao Shuo out and kill Xia De with Zhao Shuo's hand, so as to create a rift between Xia Yu and Zhao Shuo.But who is Zhao Shuo, how can this trick be hidden from him.

He was so angry that he wished he could tear Xia De apart.

But if he got caught in this way, he would no longer be a thousand-year-old fox.

Zhao Shuo turned around and went into the study. It seemed that some people should not stay any longer.

"Prince Mao has already started preparations." Anu followed the door.

Zhao Shuo sneered, "It's finally here, and it's not in vain for me to plan for it for many years."

----------

Xia He hurriedly went to find Xia De, of course he understood what his father did to Xia Yu, but he didn't know yet that something happened to his mother.Otherwise, he might not want to recognize this father anymore.

Xin Fu is still being treated at the other end, whether he can be saved or not depends on God's will.So this news is absolutely blocked, for fear that if the news spreads out, that person in the dungeon will be tossed again.

Don't dare to toss any more!

From a distance, Xia He saw the wretched Xia De looking around.Xia De walked unsteadily, he must have been drinking again, and he was in a daze.Just one look at this appearance, Xia He's eyes burst into anger, "Father!"

He yelled, but Xia De scolded him, "little bastard, why are you here now? You don't even know that your father and I are about to be beaten to death, are you still my son? Raising a child like you, Why don't you just feed it to the dog in the early years. You have a dog and you know how to wag your tail in gratitude. I raise you little beasts just to make me angry? You son of a bitch, you little bastard, why don't you die?"

Xia He stood there, his chest heaving, and his fat body trembling immediately, "Have you scolded enough? You caused Ah Yu to be put in the sky prison, you are the most damned person!"

Pulling the bow and winding it, there is no false hair.

"Look at the injuries on my body, they are all those whores—" Xia De's body froze in shock before he finished speaking.

Xia He stood on the spot in astonishment, unable to recover for a long time.

His body was slightly cold, as if something had penetrated his chest.

Xia De's gaze slowly moved to his chest, where the cold arrow pierced his chest.The bright red blood dripped down from the cold arrows bit by bit, just dripping on his shoe surface, without making a sound.

The surroundings suddenly became quiet. He looked at Xia He who was rushing towards him with blurred vision, and suddenly leaned back.

"Father!" Xia He yelled, unable to recover.

Behind the big tree in the distance, Taxue flew away with his bow, and flew away quietly.When he was far away, Xunmei was already waiting, "How?"

Taxue sneered, "One arrow is fatal."

"This kind of person deserves to die, but the young master is merciful, thinking of his elder brother's goodness, so he hasn't taken action for a long time. Since the young master can't do it, let's do it. Whoever dares to make the young master unhappy, we will give it to him. In exchange Others have dealt with the young master in this way, I have to peel off three layers of his skin. This way of death is considered cheap for him." Thinking about it until now, Xun Mei is still very angry.

Xia Yu's decisive expression at that time made Xunmei feel uncomfortable.

Except for the time with Hua Manlou, she had never seen Xia Yu before, so sad.

Taxue clenched the bow and arrow in his hand, "Do you want some arrows for that bitch Shuying?"

Xunmei shook her head, "You should ask the young master about Shuying. The young master didn't touch her, so there must be her reason. But this time, I think Shuying is doomed. Let's think about it, what will happen then?" Give Shuying the best!"

Taxue smiled, "It's easy to handle, didn't the palace lord leave behind a good thing before he disappeared?"

"You mean that?" Xunmei was startled.

"That's right, no one has tried it, but it happens to be able to use Shuying to cut the knife." Taxue smiled evilly, "She has a vicious heart, so she should be the most suitable candidate."

Xunmei nodded, "That's not bad, I'll let you know when the time comes."

"What about the young master?" Taxue asked, "Do you want to be jailed?"

"Prince Rui is not in a hurry, what are you in a hurry for? They have prepared 20 troops, isn't it more people than our Baihua Palace?" Xunmei waved her hand, "You can wait at ease, the young master is pregnant now, go A two-day prison break would also be excellent."

Taxue sighed softly, "This imperial palace, even the sky prison, can be regarded as a pure land. Other places are embarrassingly dirty."

"Okay, hurry up, don't let anyone find out. You and I know about this, don't let the third person know, otherwise we won't be able to explain it to the young master." Xun Mei looked around.

Taxue nodded, "When you clean up that bitch Shuying, remember to call me."

"Okay, let's go quickly." Xunmei nodded, "It is estimated that the young master will be very busy when he comes out, so you should count the number of people first. Maybe it won't be long before there will be a tough battle."

"The gang of stinky men from the Black Devil League, sooner or later they have to report to the Palace of the King of Hell." Ta Xue flew away.

Even if this was done quietly.

Shuying's plan fell through again, Zhao Shuo didn't do anything, and even Xia He didn't know who did it.I only saw an arrow, the most common arrow, nothing special, and then nothing.

Check it out!

With a soft sigh, he looked out of the iron window at the rising sun, and the warm sunlight came in sparsely.This is not a death row for her, Zhao Lu picked a sunny cell for her, and no one dared to neglect her.

But Xia Yu was unhappy, not happy at all.

She waited all night, but she couldn't find the person she wanted to wait for.

Sometimes, you want to see someone, but you just can't.What you don't want to see will pop up from time to time.It's like Dongfang Xu, who is so alive that he appeared outside the cell.

"You came to see my joke?" Xia Yu glanced at him, "I see, I should go too, I don't want to see you."

"You want to see my adoptive father, why don't you come to me? Instead, you want to live here and use yourself as a bait?" Dongfang Xu asked with a smile, a scholar in white, with a sharp smile.

"I can rely on myself, why should I work with wolves? Besides, I'm still a white-eyed wolf." Xia Yu disdainful, she thought about it all night, and she also figured it out in her heart, "Dongfang Xu, your adoptive father has been missing for so long. Don't worry about it."

Dongfang Xu smiled and said, "You are taking the words out of my mouth in a roundabout way."

"You guessed it all, so you're still turning the corner?" Xia Yu curled her lips, "I'm obviously taking words from you, I'm so stupid."

He frowned, "You are the number one, but you can still be so carefree in prison."

"Stop doing this." Xia Yu disdainfully said, "Tell me, what do you want to do? If you do it, I'm not afraid of you. Besides, this is a heavenly prison, the emperor has ordered, what can you do if you don't allow interrogation? You have everything The only thing you can do is talk. When you're done talking, please hold your feet high, walk back, turn left, then turn right, and don't let it go."

Dongfang Xu smiled slightly, "Your temperament is still so straight, it hasn't changed at all."

"You've only known me for how long, and you don't know what's changed!" Xia Yu didn't bother to talk to him, "Dongfang Xu, don't get too close, although I want to see your adoptive father—" She paused, There is always some reluctance to admit his relationship with Dongfang Yue.Taking a deep breath, Xia Yu said in a cold tone, "Even if I am, the first thing I will do is to let your adoptive father kill you, so as not to cause endless troubles."

"You won't." Dongfang Xu smiled coolly, "Because you won't recognize him at all, because he killed your best brother Yuan Hu. You can forgive him for killing you, but you can't kill your brother. Never forget the poisonous oath I made in front of Yuan Hu's grave!"

"The matter between me and Huzi is none of your business. You don't want to take a mouse." Xia Yu said coldly, "Huzi and I are brothers, no matter what I do, he will forgive me. You are so cold-blooded, what do you know? Brother? Shit!"

Dongfang Xu snorted coldly, "Brother, right? Well, you value love and righteousness, and I will let you understand that love and righteousness cannot be combined."

After finishing speaking, Dongfang Xu left with a flick of his sleeves.

It's just that his last sentence seems to have something to say.

Xia Yu frowned, but she didn't know that Dongfang Xu actually meant someone else.

In the capital, Zhao Shuo had made all the arrangements properly, and naturally nothing would happen, but no one expected that at this critical moment——Liang Yiru came back.
