The reborn poisonous woman is hard to abandon

Chapter 35

"Drive, drive." On the official road all the way to Beijing, several horses galloped rapidly, flying up bursts of loess.

The lead horse took the lead, and he stared straight ahead with a pair of red phoenix eyes, with a trace of exhaustion and dust on his face that could not be concealed.

Until entering the city gate, these people slowed down a little.

"Stop, the forbidden area of ​​the imperial city..."

"Shua", a golden token was displayed, and the guards who had just devoted themselves to their duties immediately stepped back respectfully to make way for a few people.

"You go to the imperial guards to report, and I'll go to meet the saint!" Huo Xun rode his horse into the imperial city without looking back, and several people behind him responded with "promise" before turning to gallop.

It stands to reason that riding a horse is not allowed in the imperial city.But what Huo Xun held in his hand was the gold medal given to King Jingnan by the emperor, so he naturally had all immunity.

Huo Xun rode all the way to the outer hall before throwing the horse to the little eunuch at the side, then cupped his hands and said, "I have something to see you, Huo Xun."

There were servants reporting layer by layer, and after a while, Huo Xun was notified.

In the inner hall, King Jingnan was sitting at the side drinking tea, when he saw Huo Xun coming in, he gave a smiling expression.

Huo Xun kowtowed and bowed down, "Minister Huo Xun kowtowed to the Holy Majesty. Fortunately, he did not disgrace his order. It has been found out that the Ministry of War sent Shu Yi and Cui Junyong to use their positions to sell weapons to the enemy outside the pass in the battle one month ago. The evidence is convincing. Please check it with the Holy Majesty." .”

The emperor waved his hand, and a young eunuch took a piece of evidence from Huo Xun.

After a long while, the table was slapped heavily, "This group of traitors and thieves with their corpses on a vegetarian meal, pass down an order to order Marshal Gao on the front line to execute them on the spot!"

Immediately there was a servant to listen to the order to deliver the decree.

King Jingnan saw that the matter had been settled, so he said coolly, "Brother Huang, Huo Xun's case investigation has also been settled. What about his previous reward?"

The emperor on the throne immediately glared at King Jingnan, "Why are you so anxious, am I the kind of person who doesn't count his words?"

King Jingnan curled his lips, but he didn't say that he disliked this man for oppressing his soldiers too much. After all, it's not good to send someone to investigate this kind of thing, but Huo Xun is really overqualified.

"Okay." The emperor gave him a look, and Eunuch Dai, who was the most powerful by his side, took a copy of the imperial edict and read it out.

"Following the fate of heaven, the emperor ordered that the second son of the Han Dynasty's son is brave and good at fighting, and has made many achievements. He is specially appointed as the general of hussars. He will take up his post from now on. I admire you."

"Thank you Lord Long, long live the emperor." Huo Xun respectfully accepted the imperial edict before getting up.

"Since there's nothing else to do, I'll take Xiao Huo away. Zhu Qian specifically asked me to take this kid home for dinner when he comes back." After speaking, King Jingnan dragged Huo Xun away regardless of whether the emperor agreed or not. up.

Huo Xunyin hurried back to Beijing, so no one in Beijing knew that he was back.

However, not long after, the emperor in the court hall was furious, and threw out a memorial, scolding Xiao Hong bloody.

Now, everyone knew that Huo Xun had not only returned to Beijing, but also made a report, proving the treasonous behavior of the two soldiers in the Ministry of War for reselling war equipment.

Xiao Hong was covered with dark clouds that day, and when he got home, he was even more angry, scolding Huo Xun to his heart's content.However, after scolding, he was still battered. Although he didn't instigate someone to do this, he was charged with being ignorant and ineffective in supervision.

In addition, dare to do such a desperate thing, behind those two are people he can't afford to offend, and now he has opened the convenience and sent people out.If the emperor really planned to investigate thoroughly, he would have to shed a layer of skin if he didn't die.

That's why Xiao Hong was so angry and even hated Huo Xun.

In Xiao Ruan's small courtyard, Xiao Ruan was half leaning on the soft couch, holding a book in one hand and eating a piece of fruit with the other.

Lian Qiao stood beside Xiao Ruan, whispering something.

"Oh, is that right? Are you sure father scolded Huo Xun?" Xiao Ruan raised his eyebrows.

"I'm sure. It is said that the master dropped a lot of things at that time, and a young man went in to clean them up. He heard it with his own ears."

"En." Xiao Ruan responded, how did this Huo Xun offend his father?Didn't he go back to the front line? Did he come back again?

However, she lived in the inner room for a long time in her previous life, so she really doesn't know about these things.

Unable to figure it out, she simply stopped thinking about it.

"Miss, do you want to stay grounded all the time? I heard that the one in the west wing has been released by the master." Lian Qiao was very dissatisfied with the unfair treatment that the lady was obediently punished while the other was able to go out.

Xiao Ruan slowly turned his gaze back to the book, and said calmly, "No hurry, send this letter first."

Lian Qiao took it, and Xiao Ruan said again, "Besides, you and Linglong don't go out after today. Ask Linglong to comb through the maids below, and record any abnormalities. When the time is up, I will clean them up one by one. "

"Yes."

As May approached, the warm wind in the afternoon made people drowsy, and after a while, the book in Xiao Ruan's hand fell to the ground.

Lianqiao put a thin blanket on Xiao Ruan, and stood quietly by the side to wait. In the mottled light and shadow, all these seemed to be condensed into a silhouette, and the indescribable years were quiet.

Three days passed in a flash, and on this day, there was a sudden commotion outside Xiao Ruan's small courtyard.

Zhuyun took a look at Lianqiao and Xiao Ruan, seeing that there was no movement between them, so she also continued with her work.

Until the noise was getting closer and closer, a tall man walked in first.

"Greetings to Young Master Biao." Lian Qiao saluted respectfully.

It was only now that Zhuyun knew that this person was Lu Hanrui's eldest son, she hurriedly followed suit, and looked up at Lu Hanrui again.

"Cousin, I'm here." Lu Hanrui wore a moon-white straight gown, his hair was combed up with a jade crown, he had a handsome face, his eyes were like lacquer, and he looked free and easy with a bit of bookishness.

"Cousin, I will trouble you today." Xiao Ruan's lips curled up.

Just as he was speaking, Gu's voice came in from outside, "Young Master Lu, Young Master Lu, how could you just enter this daughter's boudoir casually."

"Just now I heard from Aunt Gu that my younger sister is ill. She was in a hurry, and she looked at Haihan if she was rude." Lu Hanrui turned to look at Mrs. Gu, what she said was beautiful, but the meaning was impolite.

Because at this time Xiao Ruan didn't look sick no matter what.

Mrs. Gu coughed in embarrassment, "Master Lu, you haven't seen the old lady yet, why don't you follow me to see the old lady."

"Alright, I went to meet the old lady, and then I will take my sister to celebrate my grandfather's birthday." Lu Hanrui walked out without saying a word. Gu's words were blocked at first, and he was in a hurry to send someone to follow her Landing Hanrui.

She was anxious in her heart, Xiao Ruan must not go to the Lu Mansion, otherwise, if she got the support of the Lu family... Thinking of this, Mrs. Gu hurried back, as long as she persuaded Xiao Ruan not to go to the Lu Mansion, then even if Lu Hanrui came to pick him up so what.

Earlier, because Xiao Hong didn't like the Lu family, Xiao Ruan couldn't get in with the Lu family, so she insisted on going once when she got angry, and she didn't go there after that, so she let go of her heart.

When the old lady posted Xiao Ruan's birthday that day, Mrs. Gu saw that Xiao Ruan was not moved, and at the time, all her attention was on posting in the next chapter, so she naturally thought that Xiao Ruan didn't intend to go, at most it was the same as usual Just prepare a gift.

Who knew that such a trouble would come out today, damn it, doesn't the eldest son of the Lu family not have to receive guests?I ran here early in the morning to pick up people because I was too busy.

As soon as she stepped into Xiao Ruan's room, a smile appeared on Gu's face, "Ruan Ruan, how are you doing these few days?"

"I think I'm pretty healthy, but I don't know what Aunt Gu said, so I'm sick?" Xiao Ruan glanced at Gu Shi with a half-smile.

Gu's face twitched, "It's not that Ruan Ruan is still grounded. It's not easy to tell Young Master Biao about this. Youdao is a family scandal that cannot be publicized..."

"Really?" Xiao Ruan raised his eyebrows and stopped talking.

Mrs. Gu couldn't bear it anymore, and finally said, "Ruan Ruan, today is your grandfather's birthday, have you prepared your birthday gift? If you have prepared it, why not take it out, and I will help you bring it to Young Master Biao later." Walk."

"Aunt Gu," Xiao Ruan smiled knowingly, "How can Aunt Gu be the master's decision now?"

Aunt Gu didn't expect her to say this and was stunned, "Ruan Ruan, what are you?"

Xiao Ruan sneered, how much she had dealt with Gu since she was reborn, it's ridiculous that Aunt Gu thought she was the easy-to-handle Xiao Ruan in the past, "Aunt Gu is so old that she can't even understand the words? She pressed towards Gu Shi, "Then I'll make it simpler."

"Aunt Gu, you are just a concubine." Xiao Ruan smiled sarcastically, "In the end, you are just a servant. For the sake of your father, my brother and I give you a little face, don't you think you are Even the master, dare to make decisions for me?!"

Hurriedly rushing over, Pei Yuemei, who was afraid of Xiao Ruan's disadvantage, stood at the door dumbfounded.

Xiao Ruan glanced at her, and then her eyes fell back on Aunt Gu's miserable face, as if she felt that it was not enough, she continued, "Aunt Gu, I'm going to put my words here today, and in the future, in front of me and my brother, don't be afraid of me. It's too high. Otherwise, the Lu family will let you understand what it is, a concubine!"

Aunt Gu blushed, she felt as if she had been slapped twice, and the maids and servants who had gathered around because of the commotion just lowered their heads, but Mrs. Gu just felt that they were all talking about her and laughing at her. she.

She couldn't hold back immediately, pointed at Xiao Ruan and said in a low voice, "Xiao Ruan, don't go too far."

With a sound of "snap", Xiao Ruan frowned and opened Gu's pointing hand, "Who gave you the courage to point at the master?"

Being reprimanded as a maid again and again, Mrs. Gu couldn't bear it any longer, and hissed, "You think you are great, the master has never liked your mother and..."

The "slap" slap interrupted Gu's unspoken words, and also frightened the servants who were still listening to gossip.

Xiao Ruan approached Gu Shi, who was covering her face, and said softly, "Believe it or not, if today's words fall into grandma's ears, tomorrow you can wait for the toothmaid to come to the door."

Gu's face immediately turned pale.
