Poisonous girl to marry

Chapter 246 Chapter 270 Chapter 270~[-] Chapter [-] Killing
Jiang Wu remembered what happened that day when Huo Shijiu shut himself in the study and got drunk.Touching her cheeks and neck with her fingertips, she seemed to feel his tears scorching her, directly burning in her heart.

With Huo Jiujiu's loyalty and love for the little emperor, this matter is obvious to the world, and the harm to him will not be less than that to the little emperor.

Jiang Wu wiped the fine sweat from her forehead with her sleeve, grabbed the brocade fur that was casually placed on the plum blossom pile and put it on, walked out quickly, and casually ordered: "Prepare the horse."

"Madam is going out?" Bing Song trotted to keep up, holding up a paper umbrella to cover Jiang Wu from the snow.

She tied a high ponytail today, and her long black hair fell straight down to her waist. Because she had just fought with others, she was hot from exercising, and the snow on her head and shoulders had melted, and her hair and shoulders were wet.

Bing Song persuaded when she saw it: "Madam, I'd better change clothes before going out, so as not to catch a cold. You still have to take care of the little prince?"

When Jiang Wu heard the words, her quick steps stopped, and then she went to the inner house.

She didn't want to catch another cold and not be able to hold her son for several days.Thinking of Qijin's soft and fragrant body and the smile on her cute little face, Jiang Wu felt that her heart was about to soften into water. No matter how anxious Huo Shijiu was, she didn't want to reduce the chance of getting along with her son.

Back in the bedroom, changed clothes and prepared, ate the ginger soup prepared by Bingsong to drive away the cold, dried his hair and put on a warm hat, then ordered someone to lead "Dark Cloud", one by one riding on the snow towards the direction of the palace .Although the horse was riding fast, Jiang Wu knew that she could not enter the palace wall. Huo Shijiu would definitely enter the palace now, but he would not come out immediately.There are many troubles he has to face.

%
No one dared to enter the courtyard where the sleeping hall was located since early in the morning, and because of Jing Tong's order, the little servants were happy not to come near to seek death.They don't dare to talk about their master's private|secret matters at will, but the news that just exploded is too shocking, even if they have already cut their roots, they can't help being curious.

These eunuchs, have the most precious kind? !

Because all the servants and guards were retreated, the empty courtyard that was not cleaned was covered with a layer of snow, and a line of footprints could be vaguely seen extending from the front of the courtyard to the corridor, which was almost covered by fresh snow at this moment.Above the vermilion wall and glazed tiles, the dark sky looks like it might fall down at any moment, and the air is also icy cold and stuffy, making one feel chills down the spine.

The charcoal fire in the dormitory was burning, warm as spring, but it couldn't warm people's hearts. The wild roar of a beast was already hoarse, but the little emperor threw a dagger in both hands, and stabbed it madly on the brocade quilt and cotton mattress one by one. Flying cotton wool.

Jing Tong knelt beside the emperor, with tears streaming down his face, and kowtowed again and again: "I beg you, my majesty, please take care of the dragon's body, and take care of yourself, my majesty! You don't look down on the slave, but at least look at Marquis Jinning! You just keep doing this, Jin Ninghou is also distressed. The emperor is the king of a country, and he is the hope of our Great Yan Dynasty!"

"Get out! You all get out!!" The little emperor thrust the dagger in his right hand into the bed board with too much force, lost his left hand and tried to pull it out with both hands, but he couldn't pull it out. land.

He grabbed his hair with both hands and tore it desperately: "What's the point of living! It's better to be dead!" Finally, the voice gradually fell into his throat, he looked up and looked around, suddenly got up and slammed into the bedpost.

"Your Majesty!" Huo Shijiu stood in front of him, the little emperor's head hit Huo Jiujiu's abdomen, and the two of them fell on the dragon couch together, making Jing Tong and Cao Yu sweat all over.

"Your majesty, are you not hurt?" Huo Shijiu didn't care about the abdominal pain, he hurriedly helped the little emperor up, and seeing his disheveled hair and red eyes, he felt as if he was in a state of madness: "Your majesty, listen to me."

"I won't listen! You are all laughing at me! Go ahead and laugh at me to your heart's content! Haven't you already tired of me? Have you long thought that I am a burden, a dou who cannot be supported? Go ahead! I If you hit your head to death today, you won’t be ashamed of the teachings of the late emperor, and shameless to see the people of the Li people!” At the end of the speech, he no longer called himself Zhen, tears streaming down his face, like a helpless child.

Huo Jiujiu hugged the child he raised with pity.

He was only 15 years old, and he has endured so much pain.And he has been with him for these years, he is 29 years old, but his heart is as tired as if he is 92 years old.

However, what should be persisted and what should be struggled, he must not give up.If he relaxes for a moment, the safety of his family cannot be guaranteed.

"Your Majesty." Huo Jiujiu straightened the little emperor calmly, and wiped his tears with his sleeves: "Your minister is overstepping the rules and saying something from the bottom of his heart. The thing has happened, and even if you get angry and resentful, it won't help .If we are half-slack at this time, we may lose our lives!"

"I don't care anymore, I have no face to live!"

"Could it be that the emperor wants to give up after so many years of hard work? If you give up now, then the six years since the emperor's ascension to the throne, the hardships you and your ministers have put in will be in vain! When we go underground, how can we meet the late emperor? The Chen family Do you want to hand over the great country to that old thief like this? Yes, he does have the advantage now, but our plan is also being implemented, and we may not let him take advantage of it. Do you have the courage to die, Your Majesty? , don’t you have the courage to fight it out?”

"It's easy for you to say, I'm ruined now..."

"Your majesty wants to be an emperor through the ages, besides, your illness is not incurable, you are still young, and there are still many opportunities!"

The little emperor was persuaded by Huo Shijiu to gradually stop his tears, bit his lips, and said for a long time: "Brother Ying, I really didn't mean to hide this matter from you, it's just... It's hard to say, I recognized seven catties as righteousness that day Son, I..."

"Your Majesty." Huo Shijiu smiled gently, and wiped away the little emperor's tears with his sleeve again: "I know your difficulties. You are my monarch, my nephew, and my younger brother. I will never Those who have opinions on the emperor in unnecessary matters."

"But the emperor, what I did was really useless and useless. I really wish I could die immediately!"

"It's not that the emperor is useless, it's that the luck is bad. When you practiced, you took over the mess left by the previous emperor. Since you practiced at the age of nine, everything you have done will be known to the world in the future. People will only admire your forbearance and patience! Since ancient times, you have achieved great things The emperor must first make a sacrifice that ordinary people can't imagine, and the emperor is the same! In the future, the history books are meticulously written, and the emperor is ready to fight and defeat the treacherous officials. !"

"Really? But I really think it's really shameless to live like this now."

"I'm still saying the same thing, since the emperor is not afraid of death, why are you afraid to stay and fight with that old ghost? If the emperor wins, not only will our years of hard work not be in vain, but the people of the world will also have a good life. Jiang Shanze is a great deed of all people. On the contrary, if the thief is allowed to succeed, the emperor will go up, and the next will be the ministers, and then those Qingliu civil servants and people with lofty ideals who are really loyal to the emperor, the court will be plunged into a bloody storm. After the dog thief came to power, he didn't know how to ruin the people, and the emperor would become the last emperor of the Great Yan Kingdom. The history books written by the victors would not record the real emperor. They can't see the truth."

The little emperor's mood has calmed down a lot, and under Huo Shijiu's patient persuasion, his irritability subsided and he stopped crying.Seeing that his face seemed to have returned to normal now, which was completely different from the frantic appearance just now, Jing Tong and Cao Yu beside him also heaved a sigh of relief.

He can still listen to what he said, that is a good thing.

"Your Majesty, it's not you who deserves to be damned." Huo Shijiu stood up, "I will eliminate those who can't stand you one by one, and I will never let them be complacent for too long."

In the mind of the little emperor, ever since the late emperor passed away, he appeared in the dark palace and stretched out his hand to him, and he put his little hand on his hand full of complex emotions such as guard and inexplicable trust. Since then, this man has been devoting himself to him.

Now he is facing unprecedented humiliation and troubles, he is like a big mountain, with his not very strong body, it props up a piece of sky for him to breathe.

The little emperor no longer wanted to cry, nor did he want to seek death.

Maybe he should listen to Huo Shijiu and give it a go?
"Eunuch Jing." Huo Shijiu smiled at Jing Tong.

Jing Tong saluted immediately: "Master Hou orders."

"Please trouble Eunuch Jing to pass a message to Concubine Zhao, asking her to come here to accompany Shengjia."

Jing Tong glanced at the little emperor inquiringly, and seeing that the little emperor had no objection, he bowed and retreated.

But after a while, there was a sound of stepping on the snow outside, the palace door opened, and Jing Tong said politely with a smile: "Please go this way, Madam."

Huo Shijiu looked up, and saw that she was a young girl in her twenties and eight years, with a dignified and beautiful appearance, and she was a very standard lady at first glance.

Concubine Zhao lowered her eyes to the inner hall of the bedroom, and saw that there was an outsider in the room, and the emperor's clothes were disheveled and his hair was messy, and the bed was covered in mess, her heart skipped a beat.

Such a messy scene, the emperor let her see it without any shyness.This is unreasonable!If it's a private|secret matter, shouldn't the emperor be behind people's backs?Knowing that she was not close enough to the emperor to know his thoughts, she was already nervous.

"My lady, please kneel down." It was Huo Shijiu who said it.

Concubine Zhao was taken aback, and looked at Huo Shijiu in disbelief.

How dare a foreign minister make her kneel down as a palace concubine?And the most important thing is that this happened in front of the little emperor, and her man didn't stop her or express his opinion.

Concubine Zhao felt cold in her heart, she knew something was wrong with her.

As early as she promised her father to help her uncle for the family, she knew that sooner or later she would go on this road, and she would go on this road sooner or later.

Instead she was fearless.Lifting the hem of her skirt, she knelt down according to Huo Shijiu's words, and saluted the emperor: "My concubine pays my respects to the emperor."

It clarified that it was the emperor she knelt on, not Huo Shijiu.

The little emperor's face was pale, his eyes were dull, and he couldn't see any emotion, as if he didn't notice the extra person in front of him at all.

Huo Shijiu smiled, "You are quite smart. Since you are a smart person, you don't need to bother me anymore. Tell yourself what's going on."

Concubine Zhao withdrew her eyes from looking at the little emperor, and the last hope in her heart was also shattered.My heart felt cold, my hands and feet were cold, and my body began to tremble, but I gritted my teeth tightly and refused to speak.

She is already like this, and now she is biting her family members out of nowhere, causing the whole family to suffer along with her.To sacrifice, she is enough.

Seeing her like this, Huo Shijiu smiled and said, "Your Majesty is so strong, but I have a little admiration for it. But Your Majesty probably doesn't know who I am?"

Concubine Zhao looked at Huo Shijiu's beautiful face and opened her mouth, but couldn't make a sound.

Jing Tong approached with a sneer, grabbed Concubine Zhao's long hair, and held it firmly.Tears welled up in her eyes and she cried out in shock.

"Your Majesty, you should be more sensible. Don't fight with the emperor and Lord Hou at this time. Just speak up. If you wait for Lord Hou to order our family to pry your mouth open, we won't guarantee you." Lost some teeth."

Concubine Zhao opened her eyes wide in horror, tears rolled down her cheeks, she looked at the little emperor beggingly, her lips moved, "Your Majesty, save my concubine."

The little emperor still didn't respond, as if Concubine Zhao didn't exist at all.

The emperor Huo Shijiu opened his mouth one step at a time: "As a concubine, you don't think about the emperor wholeheartedly. Instead, you engage in slanderous activities and conspire with others to slander the emperor. Now that you have caused such consequences, you still don't want to repent. The emperor ordered you to come, and now you dare to ask the emperor to save you?"

Huo Jiujiu stood up, walked slowly to Concubine Zhao, leaned forward slowly, and said, "I don't think your mother knows who I am. I'm Huo Ying. I used to be the commander of Jinyiwei, but now I'm the Marquis of Jinning. I am no longer in the Jinyiwei yamen, but it is not difficult to thoroughly investigate the Zhao family. Anyway, I have a lot of people under my command over the years. What's more, no matter what the situation is, the emperor is the emperor, and the emperor says whatever he wants If you continue with the order, the consequences will be very bearable. Niang Niang, you said that your family feels that you have climbed a big tree, can your so-called big tree protect your whole family this time?"

Concubine Zhao trembled violently, begging for mercy finally overflowed like broken tears: "Jin Ninghou, forgive me, forgive my people, I am willing to die!"

"Don't worry." Huo Jiujiu was laughing, and picked up the dagger thrown by the emperor on the ground.

Concubine Zhao trembled like chaff, her eyes widened: "You, you..."

"I never hit women. But..." The dagger pierced into Concubine Zhao's abdomen, and when he pulled it out, blood gushed out, "But I never have a rule not to kill women. If you dare to plot against the emperor, you should die."

The dagger was inserted | in, pulled out, again, stab | in, pulled out...

Concubine Zhao was so soft on the ground, Huo Shijiu's knife was still stabbing into his body as soft as mud again and again, and when it was pulled out, blood splashed and splashed on his cheeks and clothes.

His hatred will never be less than that of the little emperor.And his viciousness has never been reflected in his own violence, this is the first time.

"Brother Ying, enough, enough." The little emperor suddenly came back to his senses, staggered closer, and hugged Huo Shijiu's arm: "She's not good, and she won't dirty your hands."

"You shouldn't dirty the emperor's hands. What I do is only what the emperor wants to do." Throwing down the dagger, he casually wiped the blood on Concubine Zhao's skirt. Huo Jiujiu smiled and said: "Please The emperor forgives the crime of recklessness."

"No, I know, you are for me, this woman deserves to die."

Huo Shijiu smiled, and said again: "The emperor still ordered the Jinyiwei to check the Zhao family, so that we can confirm our guess."

"I'm just afraid of scaring the snake, otherwise it would be more reliable to use Brother Ying's secret relationship to do it. Don't alarm the old fox."

"Then just do as the emperor said." Huo Jiujiu helped the little emperor stand up, and said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I will protect you well. If the plan this time does not succeed, if it is true that God is not open, If we don’t give us a way out, we can’t blame the emperor, it’s all due to my ineffectiveness in protecting the lord, so I will go and plead guilty to the late emperor.”

"No, no, brother Ying, you have tried your best. It's my fault. It's my fault." The little emperor burst into tears suddenly, ignoring Huo Shijiu's bloody body, and hugged his waist : "I'm sorry for you, but also caused you to be gossiped by those people outside, and my sister was scolded by others. I have long since discovered that I am not good enough, and I am worried that there will be no inheritance in the future, and because I trust you the most, I also like Qijin , I made this bad plan. Everything you have done these years, I will remember in my heart. If something really goes wrong in the future, it will naturally be my fault to ask the late emperor. All this has nothing to do with you, it is my fault .”

The little emperor was like this, Huo Shijiu also felt at a loss, with his hands hanging in the air, he hesitated for a moment before touching his head, and sighed: "Your Majesty, in the future, I will definitely go down to see the late emperor first."

Cao Yu pursed his lips when he heard this.

The little emperor was taken aback for a moment, and then shouted: "Why do you say that!"

Huo Shijiu looked at the little emperor crying with snot and tears all over his face, and then wiped his face with his sleeve: "Because the subject is more than ten years older than the emperor, the emperor forgot?"

Only then did the tense back of the little emperor relax slightly, and he shook his head and said, "When this matter settles down, I will find a good imperial doctor to stay at your house so that I can take care of you."

"The minister will thank the emperor first."

The little emperor wiped his face and felt that after crying, he felt a lot better after seeing Concubine Zhao who was already dead on the ground.But when I think of the eyes of the civil and military officials of the court who are about to face the New Year's Eve banquet tomorrow, I feel depressed and panic in my heart.
Huo Shijiu knew what he was worried about: "Concubine Zhao died suddenly, so she can just be buried. The courtiers are just figuring things out, and they can't conclude anything without getting definite news. Don't they still have the guts to send someone to investigate? Your Majesty doesn't want it." It’s natural that you’re all right. As for the Duke of England, he’ll probably invite a few doctors to treat the emperor.”

The little emperor said: "That's what I'm worried about. It's hard for me to refuse the person he sent..."

"No, the emperor can refuse." Huo Shijiu said: "For such things, if the British government listens to others and sends someone to ask for your pulse, you can pretend that the British government doesn't trust you and you are very sad. One, and then choose concubines to sleep in, try to create momentum, and the problem will naturally be solved."

The little emperor wanted to ask, how could he ask his concubines to sleep with him already like this.

But after thinking about it, why can't he even control his own woman by coercion and temptation?He didn't ask Huo Shijiu any more, but nodded heavily.

Confirming that the little emperor must be fine, Huo Shijiu ordered Jing Tong to dispose of the corpse and tidy up the bedroom, while he and Cao Yu accompanied the little emperor to change clothes and wash, and ordered someone to bring lunch to accompany the little emperor together Eat and drink enough.

After the little emperor really lay down and rested in the afternoon, Huo Jiujiu and Cao Yu left,

In front of the bedroom door, Jing Tong gave Huo Shijiu a big gift, and kowtowed heavily, "Thank you, Lord Jin Ning, I kowtow to you."

"Eunuch Jing, get up quickly. These are what a courtier should do." Huo Shijiu helped him up.The tone is gentle and humble.

Jing Tong shook his head and said: "The servant follows the emperor, and he can see most clearly that Marquis Jin Ning is sincere to the emperor. The emperor knows it, and the servant also knows it. From now on, as long as it is for the emperor's good, Marquis Jin Ning will just order the slave to use the sword." The frying pan at the bottom of the mountain is all a matter of one sentence, and the slave will die to repay the kindness of Marquis Jin Ning."

"Eunuch Jing really speaks seriously. You and I both serve the emperor's errands. As subjects, we naturally have to repay the emperor's kindness. Eunuch Jing can only put his mind on the emperor."

"Yes." It's too late, Jing Tong expressed his loyalty, so naturally he won't repeat himself, but personally sent Huo Shijiu and Cao Yu to the carriage.

When the carriage left along the long palace road, the snow was heavier than before, and the ruts that their carriage ran over were immediately covered by snowflakes that fell one after another.

On the carriage, Cao Yu sat cross-legged opposite Huo Jiujiu, silent.

Huo Shijiu didn't want to talk too much, although his expression was normal, his frown revealed his depressed mood at this moment.

Cao Yudao: "My lord, I'd better change my clothes first, don't go back to the mansion and tell my wife to see the clues, and worry instead."

"You're right." Huo Shijiu recovered from his contemplation, and went to the warm water in the thermos to wipe his face and hands on the handkerchief.

Just now in the palace, he only cared about the emperor, he will not have time to pay attention to himself in the future.Only now did he realize that his hands hidden in his sleeves were sticky and uncomfortable.

Unexpectedly, just after wiping it, the carriage stopped.

"What's going on?" Cao Yu raised the curtain and asked.But I saw a man and a horse standing in front of the carriage.

The body of the horse is like a high-quality black satin, with crystal icicles formed in the white snow, making it even more handsome.The man on the horse was dressed in a jade-colored brocade cloak and a snow-white warm hat. He had a gorgeous face and a peaceful expression, just like a fairy in the snow.

"Ma'am?" Cao Yu exclaimed.

Huo Jiujiu was startled, and frantically wiped his face and hands.I regretted why it was not easy to deal with it in the palace just now before coming out.

Jiang Wu had already rolled over and got off the horse, shaking the snow on her body, holding a black riding whip, and her deerskin soft boots made a creaking sound when stepping on the snow, her toes were itchy due to the cold, and she was impatient to walk, so she simply jumped over , and arrived in the carriage in the blink of an eye.

There was more Jiang Wu in the narrow carriage, and it immediately became crowded.

The bloody smell from Huo Jiujiu's body also came to his nostrils.

Jiang Wu frowned, looked at Huo Jiujiu's stunned look, and joked: "Could it be that the emperor wants to eat chicken today, and you personally killed the chicken and plucked the feathers?"

Huo Shijiu laughed dryly, knowing that he couldn't be fooled, he smiled and said, "I killed a 'chicken'."

Jiang Wu took his handkerchief and took his hand to wipe the blood stains between his nails.

Cao Yu put on his big cloak and got out of the car. After riding on "Dark Cloud", he ordered him to return home.

The carriage started again, and while it was shaking slightly, Jiang Wu focused on cleaning his hands and face, and smiled for a long time before saying: "Let me do the killing of chickens in the future, I haven't done it for a long time, I heard The smell is very itchy."
