Uncle Nine

Chapter 244 Missed, Broken Arm

When Xie Yun came back, Shuying leaned on the soft couch to rest seriously.

"I'm not afraid of catching a cold, how does Fuyue take care of the master?" Xie Yun scolded lightly.

Fuyue plopped and knelt down, "Your servant is guilty!"

"Okay, I have to wait for you, it's none of Fuyue's business." Shuying said coquettishly, was picked up by Xie Yun, and gently placed on the bed.With four eyes facing each other, Xie Yun narrowed his eyes to her lower abdomen, and stretched out his hand to gently caress her.

Fuyue stood up and saluted, then stepped back quickly.

"I'm fine." Shuying smiled, "Don't worry, Master Hou."

Xie Yun nodded, but sighed lightly.

"Master Hou has something on his mind?" Shuying frowned, and after thinking about it, she said cautiously, "Master Hou, I heard people say that the princess has become the queen of Daxia, and now Lord Hou's crisis should be eased. on your mind?"

"This is true. Earlier, I also met someone from Prince Mao's Mansion, who said that my sister was the empress in Daxia. If something happened in Beijing, I hope I can write a letter, asking my sister to help me." Thank you Yun whispered softly, "It's just that my sister is so stubborn, I guess she won't agree. But if I don't agree, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to explain to King Mao."

Shuying held Xie Yun's hand, "Master Hou just needs to do his best, why make things difficult for himself? Who doesn't know the character of the princess, who is notoriously stubborn. Master Hou can't help it either!"

"Fortunately, you understand me." Xie Yun sighed softly, "Otherwise, I would have no one to talk to. Ever since my sister left Dayan, the Zhenyuanhou Mansion is different from the past. Everyone thinks I am useless. No one looks down on it."

"In Shuying's heart, Master Hou is the best." Shuying fell into his arms tenderly, "Master Hou, don't blame yourself, there is a way out after all. Today, the Holy Majesty is targeting Master Hou, and he almost wants to take away his information." Everything, as long as Master Hou doesn't let go, there will be no serious problems. If Master Hou has power in his hands, no one in this world would dare to touch the Xie family. Otherwise, Master Hou will be in danger one day when the power is gone. "

"I think so too." Xie Yun caressed her blue hair and whispered softly, "With you, everything is fine. I'm too busy to take care of you these days, you—"

"Save the shadows." She raised her head and smiled, and kissed his lips tenderly, her misty eyes looked bright, "Master Hou can just do things, and Shuying will definitely take good care of herself and the children of Lord Hou."

"Good boy." Xie Yun smiled, "If you need anything, just ask, don't wrong yourself."

"Okay." Shuying smiled slightly.

Xie Yun got up and left in a hurry.

Fuyue entered the door, "Master, Master Hou is gone."

Shuying got off the bed, her eyes darkened, "It seems that the situation is really different, the prince's big event is coming soon."

"Yes." Fuyue nodded, "Shuang'er has been waiting."

"Let her in." Shuying sat down with a flick of her sleeves.

Shuang'er came in tremblingly, and knelt down in front of Shuying as soon as she entered the door, "Greetings to Aunt Shu."

"It's been so long, why hasn't there been any movement over there?" Shuying asked, then narrowed her eyes, "Or, you dare not?"

"Aunt Shu, I'm sorry, but the servants can't find a chance to do it, so they can only hide some poison under their fingernails every day. There are people guarding Madam at all times, and Aunt Shu also knows the identity of the servants—" Shuang'er Trembling all over, what he said did not seem to be lying.

Fuyue said, "Master, Shuang'er was beaten earlier, which shows her status in Madam's heart. So what she said should be credible."

Shuying remained calm, "I can't wait too long, do you understand?"

Shuang'er almost cried out, nodded repeatedly, "Save it, slave."

"In the past few days, I want to hear the movement, even if it's just a little bit. You'd better do what I say, otherwise once your affairs come out, the first person who will kill you will be Madam." Shuying sneer.

"Yes." Shuang'er kowtowed.

"Go down!" Shuying snorted lightly, and Shuang'er backed away in a hurry.

"Master so anxious?" Fuyue frowned.

Shuying sighed softly, "Do you think I think so? Once the prince's business is completed, Xie Yun will be a stumbling block sooner or later. If Shang Qingluan walks out, it will be another disaster. I can't let their husband and wife be of the same mind. The best way is to Get rid of it and go fast."

Fuyue nodded, "Master's words are very true."

"This palace must be busy now." Shuying suddenly thought of Zhao Shuo in Qingwu Palace. Since Xia Yu is very likely to be pregnant, it is very likely that Zhao Shuo has left Qingwu Palace.Now that big events are imminent, there is no room for mistakes.

Fuyue was startled slightly.

Indeed, as Shuying thought, the palace was also bustling.

There is an enchanting woman and a person wearing a black cloak, whoever it is, are quietly entering the Qingwu Palace.

"You're not afraid of death if you enter here without passing the news." The candles were flickering before the case, and Zhao Shuo's eyes remained the same.

"My lord." The two bowed and saluted.

Zhao Shuo sneered twice, "My lord? Now that I'm trapped here, what kind of lord is I? But, I didn't expect that it was you who were waiting. You said you have been dormant in Prince Rui's mansion for so long, why didn't anyone look at it?" Come out, so you are also a spy?"

"My lord is joking. I have been in the mansion for so long. When did my lord favor me? Now, it's just a matter of making a living. What can a person like me do besides clinging?" Under the black cloak, The man's voice was very familiar.

The candlelight was dim, and his face could not be seen clearly.

"Prince Rui's Mansion has always had an edict from the late emperor. No one dares to enter it. You could spend the rest of your life in it. But since you have come out, you can't go back." The sound of the chess piece falling was clear and powerful, and Zhao Shuo finally raised his head. Looking at the two people in front of him.

A charming and colorful, is a peerless beauty.

A gentle as jade, is a handsome young man.

If the two stood together, they would be extremely right, but this heart fell on him.

The woman tore off the leather on her face, and it was her!Ever since the accident happened in Prince Rui's Mansion, they have been staying behind closed doors, and now it is considered useful.

"Ye Eryu, long time no see." Zhao Shuo sneered, "I didn't expect to meet again, it would be like this."

"I didn't expect that we would meet again in this way after parting that day." Ye Eryu took a deep breath, "If your lord is smart enough, he should know what we are here for."

"Since you respect me as your lord, is there anything to doubt?" Zhao Shuo snapped his fingers suddenly, and a black chess piece suddenly passed between the two of them.There was a crisp sound, and it was firmly embedded in the wooden pillar behind him, which showed the strong inner strength.

The black cloak was slowly taken off, and it turned out to be Wen Li, the Furong Garden of Prince Rui's residence that day.

"Speaking of which, if it wasn't for me that day, the prince would not have ended up like this." He smiled wryly twice, his voice was low and gentle, "It was an unintentional mistake at that time, but now it can only be done intentionally." Taking a deep breath, Wen Li looked up at Zhao Shuo, his eyes were full of sparse mottled shadows, and there was a little light in the darkness.

After all, that man was the man he had placed high hopes on. He was so handsome that his heartbeat accelerated uncontrollably.

The candlelight was dim, and Zhao Shuo's excellent face made the two of them never want to look away.

"Prince Mao's mansion is really getting more and more amazing." Zhao Shuo was still calm and composed, "Now even Ye Guangyao has defected to King Mao. It seems that in a short while, he should become king on his own." Zhao Shuo said slowly. The pieces of white pieces eaten by Heizi picked up and put them back into the chess box one by one.

Ye Eryu and Wen Li looked at each other without making a sound.

"One wants to avenge the death of Ye Zhiqiu, and the other is a luthier selected by the Queen Mother. In fact, it is just a chess piece carefully prepared by Prince Mao's residence. Although this chess piece is useless and even just a decoration, those with strong martial arts cannot enter Prince Rui's residence. , only seemingly harmless ones can stay dormant by my side for many years without being discovered." Zhao Shuo's gaze was always on the chessboard, not looking at anyone.

In the candlelight, he seemed to be talking to himself.

"As a luthier, you should have a calm spirit that is different from ordinary people, but if you are infected with the worldly spirit, I am afraid that you will never be able to play the sound of the past with your hands. Today's decadent sound is that idiot King Mao , and would like to listen to it." Zhao Shuo lightly scoffed.

Wen Li lowered his eyes and smiled wryly, "What the prince said is very true."

If you can remember so many things, then it should be true.What's more, the person in front of him just now is no different from Zhao Shuo in terms of words, deeds, and demeanor.If it is false, it is too false.

Ye Eryu stepped forward and sat opposite Zhao Shuo, as if he wanted to see something.Xu Shi was flustered, and he stretched out his hand aimlessly to fiddle with the incense burner on the desk, his expression slightly ill.

"I want to know, did I wear a leather mask?" Zhao Shuo gave her a cold look, "Ye Eryu, have you forgotten how your nanny died?"

Ye Eryu was suffocated in his heart, and was instantly stunned on the spot.

"It's just the two of you who are here now. If I want to fight, who is your opponent?" Zhao Shuo chuckled, not paying attention to the appearance of the two of them.In fact, after thinking about it, they also understood who Zhao Shuo was. He was a famous fox who had been fighting with Dongfang Yue for so many years and had gradually grown in power.How many can share food in the tiger's mouth?

"Do you still need a medical examination?" Zhao Shuo sneered, "Or, you want to stay? I'm fine, I'm afraid the people outside won't."

The sound fell, and suddenly heard the sound of "the emperor is coming".

The two hurriedly got up and stared at Zhao Shuo in astonishment.

"If you want people not to know, you have to do nothing about it." Zhao Shuo dropped the last black stone, and the white stone had no way out. "With your little tricks and abilities, how dare you show yourself to others? But you are not worthy of dying on my side." hands."

Hearing this, Ye Eryu glanced at Wen Li, and the two turned around and left.

"Wait." Zhao Shuo said suddenly, "I said you two, can you go?"

The moment the sound fell, only two wailings were heard, each with a severed arm, dripping with blood.

When Zhao Lu stood outside the door, he was really surprised.One person and one arm rolled to the ground, blood flowed horizontally, and the scene was shocking.The two wailed in pain, and passed out in pain.

Looking at the two people lying in a pool of blood, Zhao Lu raised his hand, and Guo Sheng behind him quickly understood, and asked his cronies to quickly step forward to bandage the two to stop the bleeding, "Don't teach people to die." Guo Sheng whispered, Then he followed Zhao Lu into the door.

When he entered, he happened to see Zhao Shuo picking up the cup on the desk, covering his mouth and nose, and pouring tea into the incense burner.The incense in the censer was extinguished, and a puff of white mist rose.

Guo Sheng hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, don't go there."

Zhao Lu was taken aback, "Why, they dare to kill people like this in the palace?"

"If you think you are familiar with someone, you will be hard to guard against, so it is easier to succeed." Guo Sheng sighed softly.

Only when the white mist cleared did Zhao Lu dare to step forward, "Are you alright?"

Zhao Shuo smiled, "When Ye Eryu administered the medicine, I protected my heart veins, so it's fine." Throwing the incense burner out of the window, he said with a smile, "The emperor came in time, otherwise they probably have to wait to give it to me." Only after the body is collected will he be willing to leave."

"It's a complete bastard." Zhao Lu slapped the case coldly, "They dared to do such a thing in the palace, they really didn't take me seriously at all."

"The current situation is clear to the emperor himself." Zhao Shuo sighed softly, and slowly put away the chess game on the case, "I didn't succeed this time, and there will be another time. However, they have already got the answer, so they must be right." The palace will be a little more relaxed, but outside, it will be more unscrupulous. It is better for the emperor to prepare early, it is inevitable that some people in this palace will pretend to be clever, and in the end they will miss Qingqing's life."

Zhao Lu got up and sneered, "I know that man was actually chosen by the Queen Mother back then. He was sent to Prince Rui's Mansion for the purpose of having more people and more eyes. It's just that his cleverness was misunderstood by his cleverness, and in the end he helped others."

"How does the emperor plan to deal with these two people?" Zhao Shuo asked.

"Send one to Ci'an Palace, and send the other to Ye's family." Zhao Lu gave him a cold look, "it's best to return them to their respective positions. It's just that you seem to be a bit harsher."

"I'm still light. If I'm about to get heavy, I should chop off both arms together. It's not in vain that I've waited so long." Zhao Shuo walked slowly towards the bed.

With a soft snort, Zhao Lu walked out, "Clean up this place, don't let me see another drop of blood."

After finishing speaking, Zhao Lu quickly walked outside.

"Your Majesty?" Guo Sheng stepped forward, "Do you really want to carry it back to Ci'an Palace?"

"You are not joking." Zhao Lu raised his eyebrows coldly.

"Yes!" Guo Sheng nodded and glanced at Shunzi.

Shunzi sighed softly, the empress dowager was a disaster for Chi Yu.

There was a black shadow jumping down from the beam, masked in black, squinting at Zhao Shuo who was lying comfortably on the bed, "Ye Eryu, idiot, why didn't he poison you to death?"

"If you want to poison me to death, you have to find a beauty." Zhao Shuo smiled slyly, "I don't like Ye Eryu. Although she is a lady, she looks good, but she is a little less. Spicy, tasteless, not to my liking."

"Hmph, beauty? Aren't you afraid of dying under the pomegranate skirt? Ruanrouxiang, Hero Tomb, haven't you slept enough?" The man in black snorted coldly.

Zhao Shuo turned over and sat up, laughing evilly, "Death under a peony flower is a ghost, haven't you heard of it? Now that things are up to now, I just want things to end quickly. This shadow-like life, how long will it be?" Go outside and come and go freely."

"It's your blessing to be a shadow!" The man in black took a deep breath, and then glanced at the closed door of the bedroom, "It is estimated that Ci'an Palace is not peaceful again."

"It's better if it's not peaceful. If it's always been peaceful, then what else do we need?" He smiled lowly, with a treacherous and cold smile, "That bitch, the Queen Mother, should be taught a lesson. It's really embarrassing to be so arrogant. People are not happy. But now, I am happy in my heart. I have seen so many faces, right and wrong, good and evil, and people are free."

The man in black looked back at him with dark eyes, "But for some people, the retribution comes too late. For some people, it's not even too late to see that evil will be rewarded with evil."

With a chuckle, they were speechless.

It is true that Ci'an Palace is indeed not peaceful.

The moment the blood-stained Wen Li was brought into Ci'an Palace, Empress Dowager Bao Yao immediately became angry, "Emperor, what are you doing?"

"Does the queen mother recognize him?" Zhao Lu sat down slowly, the huge main hall was empty, only his sonorous and powerful voice echoed.

"No matter who he is, the Ai family just wants to know, what is the emperor's intention when he brings such a person into the Ci'an Palace?" It's not that the Empress Dowager Bao Yao doesn't recognize Wen Li, but seeing Wen Li's blood all over her body at first glance, she doesn't know. Can only pretend not to know.

"This man has gone to Qingwu Palace and is planning to assassinate the emperor." When Zhao Lu said this, his eyes were fixed on the ever-changing expression of Empress Bao Yao.Hearing about the assassination, Empress Dowager Bao Yao was startled.

It was undeniable that she wanted Zhao Shuo to die.

Zhao Shuo is now trapped in the Qingwu Palace and is not allowed to go out. It looks like a tiger has fallen into peace, but in fact he still has great power.Because the Tiger Talisman of the 20 troops is still in Prince Rui's Mansion, Prince Rui's Mansion cannot be easily entered, so - in fact, the 20 troops are still in Zhao Shuo's hands.

Being imprisoned in a place does not mean that Zhao Shuo has died down.

Now that King Mao is watching, once something happens, Zhao Shuo will definitely not sit idly by.Empress Dowager Bao Yao was also afraid, afraid that once Zhao Shuo fought against King Mao, if he won the country—as a member of the royal family, who wouldn't want to be the emperor?Who doesn't want to sit on the throne of the Ninth Five-Year Lord?Even the seemingly docile King Mao has shed his sheepskin and turned into a wolf.

Not to mention Zhao Shuo who has been holding a heavy army for so many years.

"Do you suspect the hands of the Ai family?" The Empress Dowager Bao Yao said coldly, "Do you think Wen Li was ordered by the Ai family to kill Zhao Shuo?"

"It doesn't matter whether it was done by the queen mother or not. The important thing is that this person originally went out from the queen mother. Now I send it back to the queen mother. Although it is not a complete return to Zhao, it can be regarded as where he came from. I don't care if you want to deal with it like this." Zhao Lu stood up and followed his words without asking any more questions.

But it was the same indifference, which made Empress Dowager Bao Yao feel that it was more and more confirmed that she did this.

"The Ai family said, it's not an order from the Ai family." The Empress Dowager Bao Yao glanced at Zhao Lu.

Zhao Lu was wearing a yellow robe, and smiled coolly in the candlelight, "What the queen mother said, that is what it is! Besides Wen Li, there is also Ye Eryu who is going to assassinate tonight. Isn't Ye Eryu closely related to Yan'er? Prince Rui's Mansion was accompanied by Yan'er. May I ask, Qingwu Palace is heavily defended today, if there is no secret order, who can get through unimpeded?"

"You doubt the Ai family, doubt Yan'er?" The Empress Dowager Bao Yao's eyes widened, "Emperor, keep your eyes bright, there are many people who want Zhao Shuo's life, besides the Ai family. Zhao Shuo has many grievances, it is hard to guarantee Instigated by others."

"That's why I said, I didn't doubt my mother, I just returned the original thing." Zhao Lu straightened his body, smiled lightly, and looked at his pale mother, "My mother, I know everything you have done. It's all for me. I used to be decadent. It was the emperor's uncle who said that as a descendant of the Zhao family, there was no time for me to be decadent. It was him who helped me to get to where I am today. I don't care what you think, I I just want to tell you that everything will be rewarded in the end, and you will die if you do everything you can."

After speaking, the yellow robe flicked his sleeves and strode away.

Empress Dowager Bao Yao was stunned, and her body trembled immediately. Fortunately, Fang Ying quickly stepped forward to help her, "Empress Dowager?"

"What did he mean by that sentence?" The Empress Dowager Bao Yao panted slightly.

"Your Majesty, you seem to know something." Fang Ying murmured, "Your Majesty, the Emperor can finally take charge of his own affairs. You should be happy. Now that there is no interference from Prince Rui and the Prince Regent in the court, the Emperor is finally able to take charge of the government alone. , the world will belong to the emperor from now on."

Empress Dowager Bao Yao smiled wryly, and sat down slowly, looking at the flickering candle, feeling cold in her heart, "Aijia has done so much for him, and at the end of the day, he will come to doubt Aijia's intentions." What did the Ai family do wrong, or is this what children will do when they grow up?"

Fang Ying sighed softly, "Don't think too much about it, Empress Dowager, there are King Mao and Prince Regent's Mansion watching over you outside, so you can't fall down. Maybe even the emperor is aware of the danger, so he has his own considerations. King Mao is unreliable, and Dongfang Xu is even more unreliable. After thinking about it, Prince Rui is still slightly better than the two outside. Empress Dowager, the emperor wants to grow up by himself, and you will hand over this world to him sooner or later .”

"King Mao? Dongfang Xu?" The Empress Dowager Bao Yao let out a long breath, "Dongfang Yue ignored this big swallow, but the Ai family didn't believe it, so he just let it go. How can a wolf's ambition be wiped out overnight. Ai People don't believe it, he is really so passionate."

She never believed, Dongfang Yue's love.

I didn't believe it before, and I don't believe it now.

Fang Ying remained silent, the matter between the two of them had long gone beyond the scope of right and wrong.Today, there can still be clearly said.However, regarding Xia Yu's matter, Fang Ying always felt that Queen Mother Bao Yao was a little cruel.

But the queen mother is the queen mother after all, she has served Bao Yao for half her life, and she also knows the pain in Bao Yao's heart.

Ye Eryu was sent back to Ye's house, Ye Guangyao was naturally furious, but there was nothing he could do.It was the commander of the emperor's bodyguard, Guo Sheng personally sent it back for the crime of assassinating Prince Rui.

Although Ye Guangyao was gnashing his teeth with hatred, he had made this decision by himself at the beginning. Now, looking at Ye Eryu, who was half-crippled, he could only smash his teeth and swallow it in his stomach.

Waiting for the guards to leave, Sun Qicai came out from the back hall of the main hall with cold eyes, "It looks like I missed it."

The next moment, Ye Guangyao suddenly grabbed Sun Qi's lapel, his eyes were about to tear apart, wishing he could tear Sun Qi to pieces, "It's my daughter who missed it now, didn't you say it was safe? Why did the emperor appear? This is obviously someone who tipped off the news, and there is an emperor among you. Now that my daughter has broken her arm, what do you think should be done?"

"What should we do? Is it possible that General Ye wants the prince to marry her?" Sun Qi glanced at him, and asked Wuwen.
