Chapter 409 Thinking

Huo Tianyou froze for a moment, and suddenly the hand on her shoulder felt a little heavier.

This tiny movement made Lu Shuyi's heart sink even more, didn't it?He already knew?

She squeezed her fingers, and was about to speak, but Huo Tianyou said in a calm and unhurried manner: "Did you know about my elder brother raising an army privately?"

The expression on Lu Shuyi's face could not escape his eyes at all. The question she hesitated to ask now must be a matter of life and death that cannot be explained.

Once the court finds out about such things as raising an army privately, it will be a death sentence. If it is serious, it will be punished as a crime of treason, which will implicate the whole family.

When Lu Shuyi heard that he said it so easily, she slapped his hand away angrily, sat sideways and refused to look at him, and said angrily: "I thought you would find some other excuse to prevaricate me, okay? , you admitted it very happily, and said it even more easily, you...do you know what the consequences will be if this matter is discovered by the court?"

"I know..." He got up calmly, walked around in front of her again, and said after sitting down again: "If the court finds out, he will be beheaded alone, or our entire Huo family will be killed." behead."

The words came out of his mouth so lightly that Lu Shuyi was so angry that she immediately said: "Since you know that it is a crime that implicates the entire family, why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Huo Tianyou looked innocent: "Say it sooner? But I only found out about it recently, and...and if I said it earlier, I'm afraid you'd be worried."

"Nonsense, can I not worry?"

She also felt that she was a little vulgar when she said this sentence, she twisted her fingers together for a while, and exhaled: "When did you know? Also, the princess talked to me today, and she said that she found your elder brother's The illness has been cured long ago, the reason why he pretended to be sick is to let you bear all the responsibilities, and then take away all the credit you have made." Speaking of this, she felt that Huo Tiankang was more and more disgusting, and said coldly : "It's really shameless, how can this kind of person deserve to live? He should have frozen to death and drowned him when he fell into the ice hole back then."

As soon as the words came out of her mouth, she felt that it was inappropriate. After all, Huo Tiankang was also Huo Tianyou's half brother, so it was really not good to curse him to death.

She felt that she was indeed too angry today, and her self-control ability was particularly poor. After thinking about it, she realized that maybe it was because of the sunflower water.

Huo Tianyou also seemed to be stunned, he couldn't say a word for a long time, he probably didn't expect that Huo Tiankang was lying to him by pretending to be ill.

For so many years, although Huo Tiankang stole the honor that should belong to him time and time again, he endured it all because he thought of his leg disease, but now he actually said that his disease has been cured long ago...

It is as if there is a bubble hanging in front of your eyes, which has been hanging in the air for many years. You always thought that it would not burst, and it was impossible to burst, but one day you opened your eyes and saw that it suddenly appeared in the air. break in front of you...

Huo Tianyou's lips parted, and he said coldly, "When did my concubine find out?"

Lu Shuyi was also taken aback by that coldness, but she could understand that after wronging him for so many years, she finally realized that these grievances were not worth it at all.

"The concubine said that she only discovered it." She paused for a moment, and said, "There is also that one, He Ruyi, she... She added tranquilizing medicine to your mother's concubine's soup."

If you take tranquilizers, you will feel drowsy. Although it won't kill you, if you fall asleep every day, your body will have problems over time.

She felt that it was necessary for her to tell Huo Tianyou these things so that he could make plans early.

Huo Tianyou didn't have much reaction to the sedative medicine, he said lightly, "I knew she had bad intentions a long time ago, so I hired someone to check the food for my mother a long time ago." He raised his eyebrows slightly, He said coldly: "But this woman is too restless. She has only entered our Huo family for a few days, and she wants to monopolize the power of our Huo family's back house. Hmph, okay, I want to see how she monopolizes Law."

He pursed his lips and lowered his eyelashes in thought, the long eyelashes under the dim light were stained with cold breath.

"Then what are you going to do? He lied to you like this." Lu Shuyi blinked at him, then hesitated and said, "Also... your elder brother... is the army he raised really planning to rebel? Then... Did Prince Huo know about it, or...was it his instruction? "

She plucked up the courage to ask all of them in one breath. If she didn't ask, she was afraid that she would suffocate to death, so she felt much happier if she asked.

Regardless of whether their Huo family is plotting to rebel or not, she just wants to understand.

Huo Tianyou glanced at her, but he didn't hide her. He said calmly, "Actually, I don't tell you that there is a reason why I don't tell you. You also know that treason is a serious crime, and if it is not done well, it is a capital crime. Before Uighur Monarch, I didn't intend to involve you, so I didn't tell you the truth." He paused for a while, looked her in the eyes and said slowly: "Actually, my father was already dissatisfied with the court three years ago. "

Lu Shuyi gasped, three years ago?
So, did Prince Huo start raising an army privately as early as three years ago?
She didn't dare to ask, but only heard him say: "In your opinion, what about our Da Zhou?"

Lu Shuyi blinked her eyes, a little silent.

How is the big week?For her, she has no worries about food and clothing, but what about others?

She thought of what Dongqing and Dongmei said, that if there is no food in the family, the child will be sold...

Those who are poor can't afford to eat, so can a big week be considered good?
She closed her lips, and said after a long time: "I don't know, I just know that as far as I am concerned, I have no worries about food and clothing, and as far as my family is concerned, they are also living well. But as far as Dongmei Dongqing and the others are concerned, eating enough A stomach is a good day, so whether it's good or bad, I can't tell."

Huo Tianyou nodded slightly, "People live in this world with their own warm and cold, but as far as you are concerned, Da Zhou did not miss you a full meal, nor did you miss your clothes, but like Dongmei Dongqing and the others In this way, the so-called happy life is just asking for a full meal, but they can't even ask for a full meal, can they?"

"Also, the imperial court is actually not the Liu family's now, but the He family's." He said lightly, "The empress dowager does not have power for a day or two, but the emperor can only helplessly be willing to be a puppet. Such a court, you Feel good?"

Lu Shuyi frowned. She recalled her previous experience in Kyoto. At that time, there was a flood in the hometown of a singing girl in Jiaofang, which flooded countless fertile fields and drowned countless people. However, the king of a country did not open a large granary to relieve the victims. Instead, a large amount of money from the treasury was used to build new imperial gardens, new temples and pagodas. If the money is not enough, they have to raise exorbitant taxes and collect money from the common people...
