Uncle Nine

Chapter 224 Standing Behind You

Inside Maowang Mansion.

Zhao Yu was lying on the soft couch basking in the sun, because Dongfang Yue was so frightened that he talked nonsense all night that night, presumably he was really frightened.It took a few days for this disease to be relieved.

Sun Qi stepped forward, "My lord, what happened in the Prince Regent's Mansion in the past few days is really weird. Whenever people in the mansion go out, they are all killed for no reason. Now people in the Prince Regent's Mansion are in a state of panic, I'm afraid the situation is not very good."

"What's wrong with this, someone tidied up the Prince Regent's Mansion for us, wouldn't it just save me from worrying about the future?" Zhao Yu got up, gathered up his clothes, thought of his own plum blossoms, turned and walked towards the plum garden.

"What the prince said is not unreasonable, but has he not thought about it? What is the other party's intention to kill like this?" Sun Qi followed behind.

Zhao Yu smiled, "What other intentions can there be? There are three kinds of murders. One is purely wanting to kill, the other is killing people to silence them, and the last one is revenge. The Regent Palace has offended many people. It is estimated that this time Someone took advantage of the disappearance in the east and took advantage of the fire to rob."

Sun Qi let out a long breath, "Your Highness, have you ever thought about it, now that Prince Rui's Mansion is gone, Prince Mao's Mansion and Prince Regent's Mansion seem to have become two forces fighting in separate courts. If something happened to Prince Regent's Mansion, we, Prince Mao's Mansion, are the number one suspect. At that time, the Prince Regent’s Mansion was suspicious of us, but even if we jumped into the Yellow River, we wouldn’t be able to clean up!”

Hearing this, Zhao Yu paused, and suddenly narrowed his eyes dangerously, "You mean, Dongfang Xu may suspect that it was my king's hand."

"My lord, the flying birds are good bows, and the cunning rabbits are dead dogs. It has been the same since ancient times, without exception. Dongfang Xu is insidious and cunning. He is more tolerant, ruthless and ruthless than Dongfang. , we have to guard against it." Sun Qi frowned.

Zhao Yu nodded, "Dongfang Xu is really powerful. He can play so many tricks under Dongfang Yue's nose. Naturally, he can't be underestimated. How is Zhenyuanhou's Mansion?"

"Shuying came to report, saying that Xie Yun had already moved his mind, and he estimated that he would send it to his door soon. The Prince Regent's Mansion and Xie's family have a sworn feud. Even though Xie Yun is weak and can be bullied, he is still a bit temperamental. No matter what, it is impossible to defect to one's mortal enemy, one is afraid of repeating the same mistakes, and the other is afraid of being criticized by the world." Sun Qi analyzed clearly.

Zhao Yu sneered twice, "That boy Xie Yun, who has the title of Marquis of Zhenyuan for nothing, is far behind Xie Huan. It's embarrassing that the same mother and compatriots are so different. I think back when General Xie was alive , What a heroic domineering, how can there be such incompetent descendants."

"My lord, each of the nine sons of a dragon has their own preferences. This Xie Yun grew up under the wings of his sister and couldn't take care of himself at all. Therefore, it is not surprising that he can be in such a situation. Once the sister leaves, the younger brother I was caught off guard." Sun Qi teased.

Zhao Yu looked up at the plum blossoms he took care of carefully, "Look, this king's plum blossoms are the beauty of heaven and the country. Only people like Zhao Shuo don't know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, so they broke so many plum branches of the king. It's really hateful."

Sun Qi said with a smile, "So now, the lord can let go and deal with Prince Rui. Prince Rui is full of tricks, as long as he doesn't die, he will be in serious trouble. Therefore, he must die!"

"Zhao Shuo?" Zhao Yu sneered twice, "When the father was alive, he loved Lao Jiu very much. Later, the emperor's brother succeeded to the throne, and he loved Lao Jiu so much that he had to be called into the palace when he was dying. At the age of 12, the emperor's brother actually handed over the death-prevention gold medal to him before he died. What does this mean? It means that the emperor's brother will protect him until his death. He doesn't even care about his own harem, wife and children. Yes, it's really hateful."

"It's all connected in the same vein. Why is he so favored by fate, but this king—this king is the eighth prince, but his father has never looked at him. When the old nine circled around him, he was very happy, and this king If you are not careful, you will provoke his Longyan to be furious, it is so unfair, it is really resentful."

"Why should the prince care about brotherhood? Zhao Shuo is not benevolent, and the prince is unjust. This is called reciprocity, otherwise the prince will suffer. Now that the prince has control of the general situation in the capital, and he will go to court tomorrow, the prince can ask all the civil and military officials to write a letter requesting the emperor. Deprive Zhao Shuo of his throne and be imprisoned within the palace walls forever." Sun Qi squinted his dangerous eyes.

Zhao Yu was taken aback, and paused for a while to sniff the plum blossoms, "Shouldn't you be demoted to a commoner?"

"My lord, do you think that if Zhao Shuo gets out of the sky prison, then how can those remnants of his party keep their own place? At that time, he will make a comeback if he responds to all calls. How can we give him such a chance. Inside, Zhao Shuo is like a dragon trapped in the shoal, and a tiger falls into Pingyang. In a corner, it is easier to kill a person than to let a tiger go back to the mountain. At that time, the prince can do whatever he wants. And Zhao Shuo dared to escape from the prison, and he He is the enemy of all people in the world. The name of fleeing in fear of crime will make him like a stray dog ​​for the rest of his life, with nowhere to go." Sun Qi saluted with a smile, "What does your lord think?"

"That's true." Zhao Yu picked up the plum blossoms scattered on the ground, and put them in his palm with great affection, "Excluding Zhao Shuo, there is only one Dongfang Xu left."

"That's right." Sun Qi nodded, "Dongfang Yue has disappeared, and it is said that he is crazy. It's no wonder that the only daughter, the only lifeblood, died in his own hands in the end. He exchanged the pearl for Yumu by mistake, Enough to break all his will. All his hopes in this life are on his daughter. He thought that Zhao Yan was his own flesh and blood, and he had protected her all his life since he was a child, killing people for her and taking medicine for her. Now—maybe he is crazy, wait for it to be dealt with If you leave Dongfang Xu, and then turn around and free up your hands to take care of him, it will be considered as a one-hundred-and-a-half."

Zhao Yu sneered twice, "Excellent."

Just as he was talking, he heard someone outside reporting that Lord Zhenyuan had arrived.

"Xie Yun?" Zhao Yu was taken aback, then walked out.

Sun Qi smiled, "Congratulations to my lord. Once Xie Yun takes refuge in our Prince Mao's Mansion, it means that he has one more bargaining chip than Dongfang Xu. The Xie family hates the Regent's Mansion deeply, and they will fight Dongfang Xu in the future, and they will fight to the death." Die for us."

"Hmph!" Zhao Yu's eyes darkened, "That idiot Xie Yun has the Xie family army in his hands, but he has no ability to lead the army. Look at his naive appearance, sooner or later he will be put aside."

After finishing speaking, he quickly walked towards the main hall.

Xie Yun was already sitting in the main hall, slowly sipping from a cup.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, he immediately stood up to greet him, "My lord."

"It's really my king's good fortune to see you, the Marquis of Zhenyuan. Please sit down quickly." Zhao Yulang smiled and said politely, "It's rare for you to come here. I haven't seen you for many years. Now that your sister is gone, Xie's family is here It's really not easy to rely on you alone to support me! However, this king admires the young general."

"My lord, you're being polite." Xie Yun looked slightly embarrassed, "The lord praised Xie Yun for his lack of talent and learning. I heard that my lord was ill, so I haven't been able to come to see you. I'm free today. I heard that my lord is in better health, so I dared to bother you. I don't know if Xie has disturbed the prince's rest? He came here uninvited, if there is something wrong, I hope the prince will be happy."

"Speaking so politely, isn't it a stranger? Back then, old general Xie, who was loyal to the emperor and served the country, no one in the world knew, who didn't know? Xie Hou Ye has now received the emperor's favor, you can come to my king to sit and sit, This king is already very happy. If you still say such outrageous things, don't you think that this king is your own?" Zhao Yu coughed lightly twice, and drank tea with lowered eyes.

Hearing the words "one of my own people", Xie Yun suddenly became energetic, and Sun Qi's eyes lit up when he saw him.

Xie Yun couldn't help laughing, "Thank you, my lord, for your kindness. Now my lord is the mainstay of the imperial court. Xie's younger generation is really far behind." Xu Shi had too little experience in the world, and he seemed to be a little superb when he spoke.

Zhao Yu didn't say anything anymore, he just drank his tea slowly at the side, seeing Xie Yun fidgeting a little, he had a vague understanding in his heart.Xie Yun came to show his position, so he said - he was waiting, waiting for Xie Yun to get into the cover by himself.

Sure enough, Zhao Yu couldn't speak for a while, Xie Yun finally couldn't help it, "Tomorrow the emperor will open the court, the prince—"

Coughing twice, Zhao Yu smiled, "Marquis Zhenyuan, are you here to intercede for Prince Rui?"

"No." Xie Yun hurriedly said, "I'm not interceding for Prince Rui, I just came here this time to ask what the lord thinks about the matter of Prince Rui. Xie is not talented, I'm afraid I will be angry at that time Your Majesty, so—" He paused, looking extremely embarrassed.

Zhao Yu sighed softly, "Even though Prince Rui is this king's brother, the Son of Heaven commits the same crime as the common people when he breaks the law. Although this king thinks about brotherhood, it is hard to commit public anger! The crime of treason, if you are in court for Prince Rui Excuse me, I'm afraid the king's life will not be easy when he comes to Japan. All this king can do is to save Prince Rui's life, as for the other things, alas—" He shook his head regretfully, "This king is single and weak, plotting rebellion If the crime is even sitting up, let alone my Mao Palace, I’m afraid—no matter who it is, it’s hard to escape. Xie Hou Ye, don’t you think so?”

Xie Yun's forehead was dripping with sweat, and he walked up to Zhao Yu and clasped his fists, "What the prince said is very true, thank you for reminding me, Xie will remember it."

Hearing this, Zhao Yu stood up and patted Xie Yun on the shoulder, "It's human nature to be young and frivolous, but if you don't know how to measure, then you deserve death."

"Yes." Xie Yun smiled reluctantly, "Xie Yun has benefited a lot from being taught by the prince. In the future, I hope the prince will give you more points. Xie Yun will be grateful."

"Hey, after this battle, this king's Mao Palace will also become a target of public criticism, and this king is also worried about the future—" Zhao Yu sighed softly, "The future is unpredictable, life and death are unpredictable, how about it?"

Xie Yun was stunned, and immediately realized, "Don't worry, my lord, Zhenyuan Hou's Mansion and Mao Wang's Mansion are now in the same breath. If Mao Wang's mansion is in trouble in the future, my Zhenyuan Hou's mansion will definitely not stand by. I hope the lord, don't worry. .”

"Mr. Xie is young, and he has the demeanor of an old general. This king is very pleased to see it." Sun Qidao turned to the side, "In the future, when Mr. Xie enters the mansion, there is no need to notify him, and he can come and go on his own."

Sun Qi bowed and saluted, "Yes." Then he said to Xie Yun with a smile, "My lord really treats you differently. I have served you in a humble position for many years, and I have never seen him treat others like this. You are indeed a blessed man!"

Xie Yun smiled, "Thank you, my lord, for the promotion!"

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

Inside Zhenyuan Hou's Mansion.

Fuyue entered the door excitedly, "Master, Lord Hou has gone to Prince Mao's Mansion."

"Really?" Shuying dressed in the mirror, looked at the beautiful face in the mirror, and unconsciously pulled the corners of her lips slightly, "Master Hou has figured it out, now apart from the Prince Regent's Palace, there is only Mao In the palace, once Zhao Shuo is convicted, whoever dares to go further will be looking for death."

"Master's words are very true." Fuyue carefully inserted her favorite step for Shuying.

There were all kinds of gold and silver hairpins on the table, and Shuying reached out and caressed the hairpin box on the side.There is a wooden hairpin inside, which was given by Xia Yu back then, and it was said that it was from the emperor, and the emperor made it himself.

"Master?" Fuyue was startled.

Shuying sneered, "Gold and silver hairpins can't get into my eyes, but you use a wooden hairpin to fool me, do you really think I'm a beggar? Xia Yu, now you died a violent death, fighting with me will not end well. She reached out and shook the hairpin to the ground, but then she thought, after all, it is the emperor's property, and the situation in Zhenyuanhou's mansion is extraordinary now, so it's better to be careful, "Pick it up."

"Yes!" Fuyue picked it up tremblingly.

Shuying's temperament is becoming more and more cloudy and uncertain. One second, he may be smiling like a flower, but in a second, it will be sunny and cloudy, and if it is not good, it will be a thunderstorm.Fuyue could only serve carefully, picked up the hairpin, "Master, why should she compete with a dead person, now that she is all dead, but the master wants to enjoy the glory and wealth, she must have some knowledge, so she should die with regret."

Hearing this, Shuying smiled, "I really should take a good look at how tragic her death was that day. Hmph!"

"At the other end of the main courtyard, Shuang'er has already started. The servants quietly went to inquire, and even the doctor said that Madam's health has become worse and worse in the past two days, and her complexion is extremely bad." Fuyue laughed, "It seems that the medicine has worked. The master is getting closer and closer to the position of Madam in the Houfu."

"Hmph, even a bitch dares to fight me." Shuying sneered, "Shang Qingluan thought that she could secure the position of wife by relying on the name of the princess. It's a good idea, but it's a pity that she met me. This Once, I want her life."

Fuyue nodded, "May the master get his wish as soon as possible."

"I have something to go out for a while, you watch it, if Lord Hou comes back, cover for me." Shuying turned and left.

Something happened to the Prince Regent's Mansion, and I don't know why. She had to ask about some things.Not only the Prince Regent's Mansion, but even Huamanlou seemed to have an accident.Although only two people were killed, they were all fatal with a single blow, obviously they were well prepared.

Now that the current situation in the capital is so chaotic, Shuying has to be careful.

Otherwise, I don't know how he will die in the future.

Shuying quietly went to Huamanlou, still in the same room, Yingniang glanced at her, "I've been here too often recently, aren't you afraid that Master Hou will be suspicious?"

"Do you think I'm as stupid as you?" Shuying glanced at her coldly, "If a woman can't hold a man's heart, she shouldn't bet on herself. Since I bet on myself, it's with me Your family and your life are at stake."

After saying that, she pushed the door open and walked in.

In the dark room, there was the sound of a man's deep breathing, one after another.

Shuying took a deep breath, "An accident happened in the Prince Regent's mansion, you must have heard about it? Dongfang Xu, the adopted son of the Prince Regent, started a thorough investigation, searching door to door, trying to find the culprit behind the scenes."

"Even you think it was made by Prince Mao's Mansion?" The man sneered twice.

"The Heisha League has this ability." Shuying said.

The man sneered, "The Heisha League has this ability, but don't forget, the Heisha League is not the only one with this ability."

"So, you didn't do it." Shuying frowned, "Who could it be?"

"Someone was playing tricks in the middle and killed many people in the Prince Regent's Mansion. At the same time, they also killed two of us. I just learned that someone entered the palace at night and went to the imperial study room, saying it was a woman. Where did it come from?" The man's voice became colder and colder, "I'm afraid this woman is not simple, not only entered the palace, but also went to the prison. After she left the palace, she disappeared without a trace. "

"Woman?" Shuying Zhong was startled, "What kind of woman?"

The man sighed softly, and there seemed to be some indescribable gnashing of teeth in his words, "I don't know, when our people were discovered, they were already dead. It is not easy to kill with a knife. The men of the Heisha League are all strictly selected. It is impossible to show no signs of struggle. Unless the opponent's martial arts is extremely high, it is difficult to do this."

"Who is it?" Shuying panicked, "If these people can appear without anyone noticing, will my life be in danger?"

"You just hold on to your Lord Xie, and nothing else - don't worry, no one knows your relationship with Mao Wang's Mansion except Huamanlou." He paused, and suddenly stopped Shuying Slim "By the way, I forgot to tell you, the prince is in good health, and he might come to see you in two days, you have to be prepared and take care of you!"

Hearing these words, Shuying's body froze in shock.

The man immediately smiled, a wretched smile, and with undisguised desire, he hugged her directly onto the bed.

He just likes to look at her, the panic-stricken look.

The beauty looks frightened, so enchanting.It's really ecstasy!
Moaning and panting, cloud and rain Wushan.

Shuying is indeed a beauty in the world, her soft and boneless body, her delicate and fair skin, and her slender and well-fitting figure really make people obsessed and intoxicated.It's just that some things come too easily, and it's hard to make people cherish them.

After leaving Huamanlou, Shuying turned back to Zhenyuan Hou's Mansion.

There is something strange in my heart, why can't she get pregnant all the time?Is there something not quite right?After thinking about it, I got out of the car halfway and went to a medical clinic.

The doctor was an old doctor, who looked at Shuying carefully for a while, and then nodded for her to sit down.

Taking the pulse pillow, he gently rested his fingers on Shuying's wrist.

Shuying is looking forward to it, she wants to know why she has been unable to conceive?Is it artificial?Or something is wrong with my own body.Now that Shang Qingluan has gone to the side yard, he can't have a child yet. When the situation is stable and it takes a long time, Xie Yun may not regard her as a treasure.There are many beautiful women in this world, but if you look at one person for too long, no matter how beautiful you are, you will get tired of it.

It's not that she has never thought that Xie Yun's current obsession does not represent the future.

"How is it, doctor?" Shuying asked.

The doctor smiled, "It's nothing, it's just that the body needs it all the time, and Madam is too worried. As the saying goes, worrying the lungs, fearing hurting the kidneys, and anger hurting the liver, the girl is prepared for all worries and fears, so it is difficult for her body to conceive. In fact, it's not a big problem , go back and rest well, don't overthink, children sometimes depend on fate. When fate comes, it will happen naturally."

Shuying got up and smiled, "Thank you doctor, then I can rest assured."

After finishing speaking, he left the consultation fee and left in a hurry.

Waiting for the carriage to go away, the old doctor let out a long breath, and walked unhurriedly to the consulting room in the back hall.An old doctor was lying on the desk, his coat had been stripped off.It looked like he had been knocked out, but fortunately there was no danger of his life.

"Offended." The person pretending to be a "doctor" smiled lightly, his eyes were dark, but it sounded like a girl's voice.

Putting an ingot of gold on the table, stretched out his hand to tear off the leather cover and put it in his arms, the figure had already rushed out from the back door without a trace.

Everything is restored as before, with no traces to follow.

It was as if she had never been here at all, except for the ingot of gold.

When she stepped into the gate of Zhenyuan Hou's Mansion, Shuying turned her head and glanced behind her. For some reason, she always felt that there were eyes behind her, following her like a shadow.But there was no one around, and there was not even a shadow of a ghost at the empty gate of Zhenyuan Hou's Mansion.

Could it be that he was overthinking?
