Poisonous girl to marry

Chapter 231 Techniques
"Mother's life is naturally safe, I know it." Jiang Wu murmured with her forehead in a low voice, the good mood when she returned to the prison just now was gone.Thinking of Jiang Xuewen who lived in another courtyard with a broken leg, I felt unspeakable contradictions and sadness in my heart, "Mother must be suffering for me to beg him for me."

"Madam, you don't have to feel guilty. For someone who truly loves you, everything is worth doing for you." Cao Yu felt that he had said too much, and coughed softly, "Madam will spend the whole night here, Lord Hou will definitely rescue you as soon as possible. I will go and deal with the people outside."

"Okay, you should be more careful yourself."

Jiang Wu put on a half-worn quilt and sat cross-legged.

Cao Yu went out of the prison door and locked the door.Glancing at Jiang Wu again, he left quickly, went outside and dealt with the unlucky man according to Jiang Wu's instructions, arranged the scene and saw that there was nothing missing, then left the prison and headed towards the Hou's Mansion and go.

But when they got to the street, they found out that the city was actually under martial law, and people from the five city soldiers and horses were searching all over the city.

Cao Yu's kung fu and body skills, he is not afraid of the soldiers and horses of the five cities, so he went to Huo's mansion full of doubts, he vaguely felt that the chaos in the city was related to Jiang Wu.He was also afraid that Huo Shijiu would be worried if he didn't get news from the prison, so he had to go back to the mansion first.

Sure enough, Huo Nineteen and Huo Twenty-one didn't sleep at the moment.

When Cao Yufang entered, Huo Shijiu asked, "Why have you been here for so long? Is there something wrong in the prison?"

"Don't worry, Lord Hou, Ma'am is fine." Cao Yu put the masked black cloth in his arms, reported the facts, and then said in doubt: "When I returned to the mansion, I met the soldiers and horses from the five cities and put the imperial city under martial law. I was worried that something was going on in the mansion, so I hurried back without going to investigate. Just now when I entered the mansion, I found that the person who was in ambush on the other side was gone when I left."

Huo Eryi stared blankly, looking frightened.

Huo Jiujiu slowly leaned back in the chair. Although he was calmer than Huo Eranyi, his beautiful eyes were reinfused with brilliance after Jiang Wu was put into the prison.

"Grandpa?"

"Do you know, our people just came back and forth, and the British government passed on all the imperial physicians in the imperial hospital... I guess, Wu'er succeeded."

Although Cao Yu had guessed, he only confirmed his guess after hearing Huo Shijiu's words, and clapped his hands and said, "If you say it this way, you should have succeeded! But I didn't mention it when Mrs. Tianlao came back."

If Jiang Wu could really kill Duke Ying, it would really be a great help to them.It's not that he never thought of assassinating the Duke of England before. Only a master like Cao Yu failed once.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Wu was able to sneak into the British government, find the bedroom where Britain really rests, and succeed!

Huo Jiujiu immediately felt that his exhaustion disappeared, wishing he could go to the palace immediately to tell the good news to the emperor.

Just thinking about it, the little emperor was so angry, if he went like this, the emperor would not let Jiang Wu go, and the news from the British government has not been confirmed yet.

"Mo Ran, A Ming, it's getting late, you all go and rest."

Huo Twenty-one was sleepy, but he was worried about Huo Nineteen, "I'll be here with you."

Cao Yu said: "The defense here cannot be relaxed, I will arrange it."

Cao Yu went to change back into the jacket and robes he normally wore, but put away the night clothes and the black cloth covering his face carefully, and went to arrange for the guards in the mansion to patrol.

After everything was settled, he simply stayed in Huo Shijiu's study until the first moment of Mao Shi, when Huo Shijiu just took a nap, he hurriedly ordered someone to prepare a car and go into the palace.

The snow kept falling, and the wooden wheels made a sound of creaking and reassuring on the snow. Huo Shijiu had a cloak on his shoulders and a hand stove in his arms. He really wanted to give up all the measures to keep warm. It is good to share weal and woe.It's just that he can't be sick for a while.If she caught a cold, wouldn't there be no one to save her?
It was inevitable for Huo Shijiu to enter the palace every day, so the little servants he met on the road were not surprised. They saw the Huo family's carriages from afar stopped to clear snow, and retreated to the side of the road to salute together.

Not long after, the carriage stopped, and the servants brought a wooden bench for the feet.

Huo Shijiu got out of the carriage holding the hand stove, and walked slowly to the emperor's bedroom.

Fang entered the door, and saw a figure in the empty courtyard from a distance.

It was Jiang Xuewen sitting in a wooden wheelchair.

I don't know when he came and how long he stayed here, but just looking at his cold and blue face, he knew that he had been waiting for a while.

Huo Shijiu didn't care when Tang's went back last night, but now that Jiang Xuewen was here, he remembered Tang's going to ask Jiang Xuewen for help.He hadn't hoped for it then, so he's surprised now.

"Hi, father-in-law." Huo Shijiu bowed and saluted.

Jiang Xuewen raised his eyelids, and saw Huo Shijiu's handsome face, luxuriously dressed, and the jasper-colored embroidered cloak against his fair and handsome face, he felt luxurious and gorgeous.

Jiang Xuewen is a civil servant of the Qing Dynasty, who always regards money as dung, but now seeing Huo Shijiu in such a gorgeous dress, while his own daughter is suffering in the prison, he feels unbalanced.He snorted coldly and looked away.

Knowing that Jiang Xuewen couldn't give him a good face, Huo Shijiu didn't care about it, and stepped on the clean bluestone bricks to the bottom of the Dan.

"Your Majesty, my subject Huo Ying is asking to see you."

Qingyue's voice spread into the hall, and the little emperor who was sitting on the Arhat bed facing the window with bright yellow and pear yellow embroidered mattresses shook and waved his hands in resistance. "Jing Tong, go out and tell them that Jiang Shitou and Brother Ying are missing."

"Yes." Jing saluted.Backed away in fear.When he arrived at the gate of the palace, he stood under the porch and took a deep breath before he dared to confront Huo Shijiu, "Hou Ye." Then he saluted Jiang Xuewen: "Master Jiang is well."

Jiang Xuewen spoke before Huo Shijiu, "Please trouble Eunuch Jing to report, the old man begs to see the emperor."

Jing Tong lowered his head, looked at Huo Jiujiu's expression out of the corner of his eye, and said respectfully: "Return to Lord Jiang, the emperor ordered, I am tired today, and no one will be seen, please go back."

When Huo Shijiu heard this, a gentle smile overflowed from the corners of his lips, "I see. I just want to make things difficult for Eunuch Jing."

"Thank you, Lord Hou, for your compassion. This servant is very grateful." Jing Tong was very glad that Huo Shijiu didn't force his way in, because if Huo Shijiu really showed his left stubborn temper, how many of them would dare to stop him?
Jing Tong stepped back to salute, and went to Danchi.

Huo Shijiu put on his cloak and knelt upright on the open space beside Jiang Xuewen's body, with his back straight, long eyelashes hanging down, and his eyes watching his nose, nose and mouth.

When Jing Tong entered the door and saw Huo Jiujiu kneeling on the cold ground, he felt embarrassed.But after all, Huo Shijiu didn't ask him to do anything extra, and now he can only sigh that the majestic Jin Ninghou is a seed of infatuation, and he is so protective of such a shrew who dares to offend Tianwei.

When Jing Tong went to the inner hall to answer the question, he saw the little emperor kneeling on the Arhat bed, leaning against the window and looking out through the gap in the lattice fan.He was at a position where he could see the kneeling straight Huo Jiujiu and Jiang Xuewen with a worried face.

"What's so good about that domineering shrew that Brother Ying cares so much about her, come and beg in the snow!" The little emperor angrily wanted to lift the table.

He really will never forget the humiliation he received at the dinner party last night.He was probably the most aggrieved emperor in history. He actually made his courtiers splash him twice in a row in front of important officials and their families.After all, he is the Ninth Five Lord!If Jiang Wu is released easily, what is his face, what is Tianwei?
Presumably Huo Shijiu and Jiang Xuewen outside were also like mirrors in their hearts. He just locked Jiang Wu up and didn't immediately behead him, which was already a forgiveness.

He also knew that it was very cold in the prison today, and Jiang Wu might not be able to bear it, but if she didn't teach her some lessons, wouldn't she be more bullying him in the future?

The little emperor was struggling, seeing Huo Jiujiu kneeling in the snow, snow fell on his shoulders soon, his hair was also covered with a layer of snow, his temples and eyebrows were stained with hoarfrost, he felt anxious and distressed.

Just when he was full of worries, a young eunuch suddenly walked in quickly outside.

The little eunuch was dressed in an iron-gray jacket, and when he walked, he walked briskly and hunched his body. He only looked at his thin face, and he really couldn't see anything special about this person.

Huo Shijiu was not familiar with this little eunuch.I only vaguely remember that it was the one serving tea and water by the emperor's side, named Xiaolu.

While thinking, Xiaolu had already arrived at the gate of the palace and replied, "Your Majesty."

Jing Tong opened the door of the hall, invited Xiao Lu to enter, and looked at Huo Shijiu and Jiang Xuewen in embarrassment.One of them is a marquis and the other is a hero, they are not as good as a little eunuch, who can easily see the emperor's face.

When the palace door was closed again, Huo Shijiu and Jiang Xuewen looked at each other in unison, and saw the same light from the other's dark pupils.

That little eunuch named Xiaolu is the emperor's private person.

The little emperor behaved like an emperor in front of Xiaolu, without the tension and entanglement just now.

"Ask clearly?"

"Going back to the emperor, I have already asked clearly. Last night, the British government invited all the imperial doctors to go there, and only one person was left to guard in the squad room. Although they were strict in their mouths, the servant listened to the emperor's order to give more money, so I still found out. information."

"Stop talking nonsense! The dog slave is chattering, carefully I picked your tongue."

"The servant is terrified." Xiaolu saluted calmly, not afraid, but with a hint of naughtiness, completely different from the humble and humble appearance outside the hall just now.

"Returning to the emperor, an assassin sneaked into the British Duke's residence last night and stabbed the British Duke. After several inquiries by the slaves, he found out that the British Duke's injury was at a critical point."

"Very important? Then wouldn't he..." The little emperor almost laughed out loud.

But Xiaolu said: "Your Majesty, although the British Duke is in a dangerous situation, it cannot be fatal immediately. Besides, if it hurts that place, the slave will see the danger."

The little emperor secretly thought that what Xiaolu said was that he got carried away when he was happy.Hearing that he hurt his vitals, the little emperor became curious again: "You said he hurt his vitals, where is the injury?"

The expression on Xiaolu's face was uncomfortable, but she didn't dare to show any disobedience in front of the emperor, and hurriedly said: "Back to the emperor, the servant spent too much money, so he found out that the British Duke was injured and the root of the dust, it is said that he was cut off with a knife. The person was unconscious after the injury, but at any rate, the imperial doctors are highly skilled, and they specially invited an experienced old eunuch who has been cleaning up the maid for many years. No, it will take a while."

"You mean, where was he injured?"

"Indeed."

The little emperor was stunned for a while, then suddenly laughed out loud after a long time, the cry in his heart couldn't be uttered, so he just murmured over and over again: "It's true that karmic retribution is not good, retribution, retribution!"

The little emperor's heart is now sad and inferior.A man who is powerless in this matter, how deep is the contusion?What's more, the little emperor, the king of a country, has many concubines to favor.

He said that he was busy with government affairs, and now he said that he was in a bad mood and didn't need someone to sleep with him, but if he hid for a while, could he hide for a lifetime?When his secret is revealed, how can he have the face to live?
What's more, the British Duke is the one who made him inhumane now.

He was eunuched by the assassin, what a joy!

"The Duke's Mansion must be busy right now. Jing Tong, please go and greet me on my behalf, and tell the imperial doctors to do their best. Also, Jing Tong will ask the British Duke and Duchess what happened."

Jing Tong should retreat.

The little emperor waved his hands to get Xiaolu to stand up, playing with the embroidery on his sleeves.

"Your Majesty, I beg you to see me." The people outside seemed worried that the little emperor had forgotten that he was still kneeling in the snow.

The little emperor was distressed and angry at the same time. At the critical moment, he only cared about his wife and ignored him. How could he not be angry?
But in the end, there was something in his heart, and he felt that he couldn't discuss it with Huo Shijiu. It was really unclear.

The little emperor finally calmed down, and ordered people to invite Huo Shijiu in, and asked Xiaolu to take someone to send Jiang Xuewen back to the mansion first.

There were so many things to be happy about today, the little emperor didn't know who to celebrate for.

Inside the house, it was as warm as spring, and Huo Shijiu knelt down respectfully in the outer hall.

The little emperor didn't see Huo Shijiu in the inner room, but he guessed what he was going to say, and just snorted: "You don't have to say it, and I don't want to hear it. If you dare to pour wine on me in public, I didn't kill you!" She is already showing mercy."

"I know. I dare not ask the emperor to forgive me. If the emperor wants my wife's life, I will just follow. I have another matter to report."

"There is no one else around at this moment, so what you want to say, just say it."

"Yes." Huo Shijiu said seriously: "The Duke of England was injured and his descendants were injured, and now his life is in jeopardy. It's hard to say whether he will live or not. Even if he survives, he may only be an incomplete man in the future. "

"You know?" The little emperor was surprised, "Unexpectedly, you are well informed."

"I know that, and I don't want to claim credit. I just want to say that last night, my wife risked her life to break into the British Duke's mansion and assassinate the British Duke. Although she didn't kill the traitor immediately, she succeeded in giving him such a fatal blow." Attack. The emperor's anger can be dissipated as much as possible, right?"

"What! You said it was my sister?"

The little emperor stood up abruptly, he was so startled that he didn't know what to say, he just felt a chill running down his back, "A woman, but this is how she stabs people..."
