Uncle Nine

Chapter 271 I gave it, you must want it 1
When the dawn came, Zhao Lu left the Jade Seal of Chuanguo in the court hall.The thick stack of crimes stemming from the criminal investigation is also the result of the joint trial of the three divisions.This meant that Zhao Shuo's last day had come. Prince Rui, who was once a master, turned into a rebellious courtier and traitor who everyone could punish in an instant.

From this moment on, he will have nothing.

The fragrance of tea is overflowing inside the Qingwu Palace, and the outside of the Qingwu Palace is heavily guarded.

When Zhao Lu came in, he screened everyone away.

Shun Zi followed Zhao Lu closely with the imperial decree in his hands, followed by a full court of civil and military officials, all of them looked at each other in blank dismay, and no one dared to say anything.Silently followed the emperor inside, feeling uneasy.

Taking a sip of the fragrant tea, she took off her embroidered black robe, and was dressed in black green hills, but it was hard to hide the majesty between her brows and the majesty of the king with a flick of her sleeves.Taking a glance at Zhao Lu who was walking in front of him and Mandian Wenwu behind Zhao Lu, a half-smile appeared on the corners of his lips, "It's still here after all, I've been waiting for a long time."

The guards quickly surrounded Zhao Shuo, and Shunzi stepped forward slowly, opened the imperial decree and read out loudly, "Follow the heavens, the emperor's decree said. Zhao Shuo, the king of Zharui, relies on his position—"

"Okay." Zhao Shuo got up, and the lid of the cup on his fingertips fell back to the mouth of the cup with a bang, making a clear and crisp sound, which shocked everyone's eyes, staring at Zhao Shuo in front of them.

Shunzi also froze, not knowing how to deal with it for a while.

This Prince Rui, is the one who doesn't like to play cards according to common sense.

"Finally." Zhao Shuo cast a sidelong glance at Shunzi, his pair of peach blossom eyes shone brightly with glazed gleam, and his alluring complexion was accompanied by a lingering smile.

Shunzi took a breath, and then bravely continued to read, "It's an unforgivable crime, and it should be executed according to the law. I have remembered the old kindness, and specially approved the whole corpse, and replaced it with the punishment of the head of an owl. I respect it!"

Zhao Lu stared at Zhao Shuo steadfastly, without saying a word from the beginning to the end.

It's not that he doesn't speak, but he doesn't know how to speak.For a moment, he wanted to call Uncle Huang, but all the words were stuck in his throat, as if no matter how much strength he used, he couldn't break through his throat.

The civil and military officials looked at me and I looked at you, but they didn't say a word.

In the silent bedroom, you can hear a needle falling.

Zhao Shuo smiled like he was relieved, as if he had let go of the burden of his whole body, with an indifferent smile on his face, as if he could vaguely see his beloved woman standing in the distance and smiling at him, her eyes were like crescent moons, dyeing all three eyes. The moon is warm and the sun is warm.

He took out an object from his sleeve, it was shining golden, it was the gold medal for avoiding death given by the late emperor.

Without nostalgia and without hesitation, he put the gold medal for avoiding death and the seal symbolizing the emperor's uncle, Prince Rui, on the table.With more than [-] troops in hand, just like this, there is no love at all, in exchange for freedom in this life.

From now on, it has nothing to do with him to rule the world or hold great power.

"Grassman Zhao Shuo respectfully wish my emperor, long live long live long live." Zhao Shuo bowed, and bowed respectfully to Zhao Lu, and made a big gift, "I only hope that my emperor's country will be prosperous and prosperous, and the world will sing praises."

After finishing speaking, Zhao Shuo straightened up.

Zhao Lu took three steps in parallel, and suddenly stepped forward and hugged Zhao Shuo, "Uncle Emperor, thank you."

"Is the emperor the emperor, and I'm not afraid of being laughed at by all the officials? Now that I've cast off the glory of my whole body, I will let the past and the past be annihilated along with this paper!" Zhao Shuo patted Zhao Lu on the back, "In the future , you are a gentleman, and I am just a commoner. You can make the world peaceful, and I will be grateful to you."

Zhao Lu closed his eyes heavily, and finally let go, "Take care, if you can come back—"

"There will never be such a day." Zhao Shuo smiled faintly, and the two uncles and nephews looked at each other, "Take care, Your Majesty, don't live this life like this! Farewell!"

All the civil and military officials knelt down on the ground, no one said anything, just bowed their heads and knelt there.

Zhao Shuo walked out with a smile on his face, his sleeves swayed lightly in the wind.Once this life is gone, life and death will never be seen again.

In the long palace road, only the Xuanpao fluttering, only seeing him walking comfortably and unrestrainedly, without looking back.It seems that after getting out of this cage, the dragon will return to the sea. From now on, you can relax in the clouds and wild cranes, leaning on the fence and listening to the wind.

The figure walked further and further away, finally out of everyone's sight, and disappeared at the end of the palace road.

Zhao Lu was still standing in the same place in a daze, unable to recover, a voice in his head kept repeating and repeating: Gone—just walked out like this.

How many people outside this imperial palace wanted to come in, from Dongfang Yue at the beginning to Mao Wang Zhao Yu later, they broke their heads and wanted to come in, wanting to monopolize.But only a fool like Zhao Shuo never thought of going in, and even wanted to go out with all his heart.

What kind of throne, what kind of world, what kind of king, in his eyes are not as important as a breath of free air outside.

Born with the most honorable status, yet making a decision that makes everyone unbelievable.

It is said that power is poison, and there is no cure for those infected.

Today, there are exceptions.

Wearing a bamboo hat, he hurried out of the city.

"Father, where are you going now?"

"Jiangnan."

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

Lantern Festival.

On the long street of power, the lights are bright.Faces with various masks shuttled through the crowd, and the moat was full of men and women with river lanterns, smiling like flowers, or silent, or looking at each other, agreeing with each other.

"Master, let's go back quickly!" The hoarse woman's voice was instantly drowned out by the crowd.

The woman in front ran faster and faster, with a melodious laugh, "Chun'er, hurry up, let's go ahead and have a look."

"Master, don't run so fast, the servants will not be able to catch up with you." Chun'er shouted, but was pushed by the crowd, and could no longer catch up with the woman not far away.When she walked out of the crowd and looked around, she had long since disappeared. At that moment, Chun'er panicked, "Master? Where are you, master?"

God knows what a felony it is to lose your master, and you will have to be beaten to death after you go back!
By the moat, I took off the Rakshasa mask on my face, and in the dim candlelight, that young and tender face showed a charming smile, with eyebrows curved like a moon, in this cold night, as if warm in March The light of the sun warms the heart.The almost transparent skin is as if it can be broken by blowing a bullet.She looked up at the red lotus lantern hanging on the tree, pursed her lips and wanted to take it off, but she was not tall enough, turned around and looked behind her, but there was no trace of Chun'er.

"Chun'er?" She panicked now, "Chun'er?"

There are crowds of people everywhere, but Chun'er is still there.

"Chun'er?" Pushing aside the crowd, she started to walk back.

Who knows where Chun'er is in the crowd of people watching the lanterns.

Suddenly, a pair of hands grabbed her wrist and dragged her out of the crowd.

"Let go of me, who are you? Let me go!" She struggled, but her strength was too weak, and the opponent was a tall and burly man, so she was no match for her.But just as she was about to call for help, he directly held onto her shoulder and led her out of the crowd into a secluded alley.

"Concubine Yao." A familiar voice came from behind the mask.

His expression was slightly startled, and it was a familiar face that broke into his sight.

"Master Dongfang?" She was stunned and froze on the spot for a while without saying a word.Although she was not in the previous dynasty, she also knew some things. This Dongfang Yue was the number one scholar in today's examination, and then the number one scholar in Jin Kewu. Janissaries.

Dongfang Yue had met her several times before, but in her impression, they were not close enough to hold hands.

"Thank you, Master Dongfang." She bowed and took a step back. After all, men and women are different.

"You and Chun'er got lost?" Dongfang Yue's voice was hoarse, and those burning eyes just stared at her firmly.

Who is she?
She is the emperor's most beloved concubine Yao - Bao Yao.

The prostitute of the Bo family is full of glory.Everyone is a lady, well-versed in books, good at playing piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and proficient in everything.Not only that, but now the Manchu court is arguing about the establishment of a crown prince, and Bao Yao's son has just turned one year old, and now he is on the cusp of controversy.

"Yes." Bao Yao nodded, neither humble nor overbearing, but tried her best to stick to the defense between men and women.

There was a carriage parked at the entrance of the alley, and Dongfang Yue stared at her with a slight smile, "Since she was lost, it's time to find it. Your wife is your body, so you don't have to look for it in the hustle and bustle. I will find it for you."

"Thank you, Master Dongfang, I am waiting here." Bao Yao smiled lightly, her eyes were like crescent moons, and her smile was warm.

She is not a talkative person, she is as gentle as water, even in the palace she doesn't like to fight.Because of this, the emperor pampered her very much.

A servant stepped forward to salute Dongfang Yue, Dongfang Yue said, "Go and get it back." Then he said, "I have a house near here, my lady can go to rest first."

Bao Yao wanted to decline, but there was no one around for a while, she quietly left the palace with the emperor's token.He didn't have any silver tattoos on his body, and he didn't know the way to go back. After thinking about it, there was no way out, so he nodded his head and thanked him.

It was a quiet house, there was constant hustle and bustle outside, but the inside of the house was surprisingly quiet, it seemed that even the maids were rarely seen, and there seemed to be no one except the housekeeper.

"Your Excellency, you don't like to be served?" Sitting in the flower hall, Bao Yao felt embarrassed, so she could only say something out of curiosity.

Dongfang Yue took a sip of tea and said with a smile, "This courtyard is where I usually live when I want to be quiet. I'm used to being alone, and I don't bother to be served by others."

Bao Yao nodded, silently picked up the cup in her hand, and took a sip of the fragrant tea.

"Speaking of which, the empress is kind to me." Dongfang Yue said slowly.

Bao Yao frowned, looking at Dongfang Yue in puzzlement.

"Before I entered Beijing, I was hunted down by the enemy, and I was seriously injured. I finally came to the capital, but I didn't even have money for a meal. I still remember that in front of the teahouse, it was the empress who gave me a few steamed buns to let me live. Come down." When Dongfang Yue talked about the past, he flashed it lightly, but the temperature of those burning eyes never dropped, "That was the first time I saw my mother."

Bao Yao thought about it, and it seemed that there was such a thing, "It was the first time I went out of the palace and went home to visit my relatives. It was just a coincidence, sir, don't take it to heart."

"The kindness of a drop of water should be repaid by the spring." Dongfang Yue smiled, and put down the cup in his hand, "Nowadays, the court, the Chinese and the military are talking about the establishment of a crown prince. If the empress—"

"No need." Empress Dowager Bao Yao shook her head and smiled, "What's so good about being an emperor? I don't want my son to be a prince, he just needs to be his prince in peace, have a fief in the future, and live in peace The day is."

Dongfang Yue frowned, "Your Majesty, you don't want your son to be the crown prince?"

"I don't want to." Bao Yao's brows are like moonlight, and she smiles lightly, "I just want to spend the rest of my life with the emperor, and then see my child safe and happy, that's all! Why do you want to fight for it? Those things don't belong to me. , why should I cling to it? It’s hurting myself and hurting others. Since they want it, they can just take it, and what does it have to do with me?”

Dongfang smiled wryly, "If your mother doesn't fight, it doesn't mean that others won't let you mother and son go."

"I have an emperor." Bao Yao stood up with a smile, "The emperor treats me very well. He said that the one who loves me the most in this life is me. I also said that in this life, I will only be loyal to the king, and I will never lose him."

After saying that, her complexion was blushing, and her eyes were filled with a strong and lingering light of happiness.

"Do you believe it?" Dongfang Yue sneered, "Three thousand in the harem, the emperor—"

"No, I believe it." Bao Yao was full of confidence, "I believe him."

Dongfang got up and took a deep breath, "The emperor has been feeling unwell recently, and I'm afraid he can't take care of Concubine Yao's mother and child."

"I know, that's why I left the palace quietly, otherwise he would always come and stare at me, how can I come out to take a breath?" She walked out with a smile, "By the way, hasn't Chun'er been found yet? If you haven't If I found it, can your lord send me back to the palace first? After you find Chun'er, you can send her back, okay?"

He looked at her fixedly, with a complicated expression, "Okay."

Bao Yao saluted and thanked her, but before she could leave the door, her feet suddenly softened and she leaned heavily on the door.His vision became more and more blurred, so blurred that he could no longer see everything in front of him clearly.

"Why—" She leaned on the wall and tried to walk, but she slumped at the base of the wall, her breath short of breath.

Dongfang Yue leaned over and squatted down, and hugged her by the waist, "I couldn't tell you, but I was already in deep trouble at that glance."

Pushing open the door, he carefully placed her on the bed, and took advantage of the opportunity to kiss her soft lips with a cool kiss.The lips were soft, with a little tantalizing sweetness, as beautiful as he imagined.

She wanted to push him away, but her hands and feet were weak, all her voice was stuck in her throat, she cried and wanted to cry out.

Unfortunately, it was all in vain.

"I can make your son the crown prince." The fingertips were raised slightly, the belt fell off, and the clothes fell off in an instant. The beautiful woman with fragrant shoulders had white skin like jade, and her tentacles were as smooth as cream.

Kissed her eyebrows and eyes, kissed the tip of her nose, and put his kisses on every corner of her body.

She shook her head, tears streaming down her face.

Her weak reason was telling her that she had to struggle.

But the feeling of powerlessness reminded her that she was in a desperate situation.

When he saw her standing among the flowers in the imperial garden, he was excited, but when he heard that she was the emperor's favorite concubine Yao, he was angry again.Competing with the emperor for a woman is obviously a suicidal idea.

But he did it, and he did it seamlessly.

Bao Yao didn't know when she passed out, she only knew that when she woke up, her bones all over her body seemed to be torn apart, and the pain was so painful that she couldn't even get out of bed.The mottled marks on the mattress, that was the source of all the stains in her life.

Tears slid down the cold cheeks and fell silently.

She subconsciously wrapped herself tightly in the quilt, and stared at Dongfang Yue who came in from the door dully.On Dongfang Yue's face, there was a smile that disgusted her to the core, so bright that she wished she could step forward and tear his face apart.

It was already dawn outside, and she stayed in his house overnight.

This night, the palace searched for her all over the place, and now the imperial guards sent by the emperor are everywhere in the city.The emperor was looking for her, but she—the tears became more and more violent, and she fiercely gouged out the man in front of her, wishing she could kill him with one knife!

Dongfang Yue offered his clothes, "I'll take you back. Of course, if you don't want to go back, I have a way to hide you." He smiled slightly, "I know, the emperor's favor is full of temptations. It is possible to love only one person, but I can do it. If you like imperial love, one day, I can give it to you too."

Bao Yao didn't say a word, her body was covered with bruises, the emperor would definitely find it when she went back like this.

He is forcing her to stay, but she is not a fool.

In front of Dongfang Yue, Bao Yao put on her clothes in silence, and walked out with a sluggish expression, she wants to go back!go back to the palace.In the palace, there is her beloved emperor, her beloved son, and her beloved lifetime of happiness.

Dongfang Yue personally sent her to the car and escorted her back to the palace.But at the moment when the carriage was about to stop, Bao Yao suddenly rolled out of the carriage, turned over directly from the carriage, and slammed her body like a rolling wheel.

People were startled and horses were startled, Dongfang Yue jumped off the horse immediately and immediately picked up Bao Yao, "Your Majesty?"

Bao Yao jumped off his embrace, pushed him away, and walked step by step along the palace road while clutching her painful shoulder.

"My lord?" The confidant stepped forward.

Dongfang Yue waved his hand, signaling him not to talk too much.

With this fall, the bruises on her body had a source, and she had a legitimate reason to the emperor.Unexpectedly, there is such a stubborn heart hidden under the gentle skin.

There was a slight smile on the corners of his lips, and Dongfang took a deep breath, "Since the person has been sent back, let the emperor tell you." After saying this, Dongfang turned around and left, and looked back at the distance after not taking two steps. the beautiful shadow.

I can give you whatever you want.

If you want imperial love, I will give you imperial love.

Whether you love me or not, I want you by my side.

When Bao Yao went back, her body was wounded, but luckily everyone saw her fall, so the emperor didn't suspect it.Bao Yao only said that she and Chun'er got lost and didn't know the way back to the palace alone, so she found an inn and stayed there.

When the queen sent someone to investigate, the owner of the inn and Xiaoer agreed, saying that Bao Yao lived here that night and no one else visited.

In this way, no one has an excuse.

The emperor said, it will be good to come back, it is better than everything.

As for Dongfang Yue, no one would be suspicious.A person who is both civil and military, loyal to the emperor and patriotic, and deeply trusted by the emperor, how could he think otherwise.It's just that the concubines and even the queen in the harem don't think about it, thinking whether Dongfang Yue is on Bao Yao's side?
For a while, the harem concubines regarded Bao Yao as a thorn in their side.

She had shared the emperor's love for everyone earlier, and now she is even more remarkable.

It is a matter of the country, and no one wants to miss this opportunity.

If you don't fight, it doesn't mean that others don't want it either.

Just because you don't harm others doesn't mean others won't want to harm you.

People don't hurt the tiger's mind, but the tiger hurts the mind, what can I do?

The emperor's health seems to be getting worse and worse. He used to be able to go to court occasionally, but now he has been bedridden for a long time.As Prince Rui, Zhao Shuo went to the palace every day to accompany the king, and only when Zhao Shuo entered the palace and Bao Yao came, the emperor could be happy for a while.

Everyone knows that the emperor has three treasures in his heart, Prince Rui, Concubine Yao, and the world is good.

"Brother Huang's health hasn't recovered all the time, and I'm wondering if we can recruit famous doctors from all over the world to treat Brother Huang?" Although Zhao Shuo is young, he is much taller than ordinary boys.The excellent facial features have followed her mother's, and she is as delicate as a daughter's family. Her lips are red and her teeth are white, and her brows and eyes are self-styled, which makes people envy her.

The emperor leaned against the bedpost and smiled, "That's what you say."

"Your Majesty!" the Chief Eunuch whispered, "Most of these folk doctors are rough people. Your Majesty's dragon body is precious, how can you let these people see a doctor? If you can't see it, it's fine, I'm afraid they will come up with some weird tricks. "

"Presumptuous!" Zhao Shuo snorted coldly, "I'm talking to the emperor, what's the matter with you, a slave? Get out of here."

Hearing these words, the emperor also frowned, "Didn't you hear? Prince Rui asked you to get out, but you still don't get out."

The head eunuch hurriedly saluted and kowtowed, "Damn it, slave, get out of here." Saying this, he hurriedly retreated.

"Wait." The Emperor coughed lightly twice, "Prince Rui said get lost, don't you have long ears?"

Hearing this, the chief eunuch was startled and looked at Zhao Shuo in astonishment.Pursing his lips with a look of grievance, he gritted his teeth and lay on the ground like a dead fish, then rolled out of the way.

"Brother Emperor?" Zhao Shuo asked with a smile, "How about leaving this matter to me?"

"When you were young, you liked to associate with people from all over the world, and you didn't care about government affairs." The emperor sighed softly, "I don't even know whether it's good or bad."

"Brother Huang knows that the ministers don't like the ministers in the court. They are all stern-faced. They are either obedient and disobedient, or they rely on the old to sell their official articles. The younger brother hopes that the people outside will speak badly, but they will not beat around the bush. If you like it, you like it." If you don’t like it, you don’t like it, you don’t force others, and you don’t force yourself.” Zhao Shuo grinned and peeled apples for the emperor.

The emperor looked at him, and sighed again, "You said that if you hadn't poked a hole in the imperial father's will that day, the throne—"

"I will also give up the throne to the emperor." Zhao Shuo directly interrupted him, "Mother and concubine died in the palace unjustly, so I don't like it here. Although the father loves me, I don't care about this country. Okay. Now that there is Brother Huang standing in the way for me, why would I not do it?"

The emperor smiled helplessly, "Frankness is the most taboo in the palace. You need to be cautious in your words and deeds. You must know that what you say is like pouring water. When you say something, keep three points in your heart, and keep three points in your mouth, and then you have to keep it in your mind." Leave three points before you can export. But when will you change your temper?"

"When the sky is falling, maybe it can be changed." Zhao Shuo raised his head and saw Bao Yao hugged Zhao Lu to enter the door, then got up and saluted, and said with a smile, "See Yao Concubine." Taking the opportunity to interrupt the emperor's words , "If the concubine Yao doesn't come, my ears will grow calluses. The emperor muttered for a while. Now that the empress is here, it's good, the emperor will leave it to the empress."

After saying that, he ran away, "Brother Huang, take a good rest, and I will come back another day."

The emperor frowned and coughed lightly, "Brat, slow down!"

Bao Yao smiled, "The emperor really has a deep brotherly affection for Prince Rui."

The emperor held Bao Yao's hand and said with a smile, "I'm just such a fellow brother, not to mention that I have today, he gave it to me. Humans, one should be a human being with a heart, otherwise, how different is it from an animal?"

Hearing this, Bao Yao's heart was slightly suffocated, and she subconsciously withdrew her hand.
