Uncle Nine

Chapter 49 She is a blood cow

Xia Yu felt that Zhao Shuo was like the weather in July and August, cloudy and sunny, smiling at you one second, might strangle you by the neck and kill you the next.She never felt how close death was to her, but she suddenly became afraid, for fear that there would be a dividing line between life and death.

After eating, Xia Yu sat on the steps, resting her chin on her hands and looking at the vast blue sky.

At this hour, has the nerd come out of the examination room?If he didn't see her when he returned to Yunkeju, Yue Mo would panic him to death.

"Ayu." A voice called.

Xia Yu raised her head in astonishment, and in the sunlight, that gentle and jade-like man was standing there.Smiling lightly, he looked at her gently.

He felt relieved, "Ah Yu, it's me."

"Nerd!" Xia Yu smiled brightly, and ran to him quickly, "Why are you here?"

Liang Yiru stroked her bun, smiled softly, "After leaving the examination room, Mr. Li said you were here, so he brought me to see you. Mr. Li said everything that should be said."

"Li Gou—what did Master Li say?" Xia Yu asked hurriedly.

Liang Yiru smiled, "It said that your file has already entered Prince Rui's residence, and you also promised to stay to serve Prince Rui and be the servant of Prince Rui's residence. Ah Yu, do you really want to stay?"

Xia Yu smiled, and nodded solemnly, "Yes."

She didn't dare to tell about Huzi's stay in Prince Rui's residence, Liang Yiru was the magistrate's son, he would have a bright future in the future, she didn't want to stir him up too.

But he knows who Liang Yiru is, who he has been with for so many years, and who Xia Yu is.

With a wry smile, Liang Yiru nodded, "No matter what decision you make, I will always support you. No matter what you want, as long as I can do it, I will do it. Do what you like to do, this is the Xia Yu I know .”

Xia Yu smiled and punched him on the chest, "Good brother!"

Liang Yiru looked at her and smiled, and also smiled, and took out an oiled paper bag from his sleeve, "Before I came to the capital, I heard that the roast duck in Quanjufang is the best. It is oily but not greasy. I wanted to take you to eat it, but I never had the chance." .The first thing I did after leaving the examination room was to buy you a duck leg to satisfy your hunger."

"It's still best for you." She was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth from ear to ear.

In the sunshine, Liang Yiru smiled gently, seeing her smile warmed his heart.

Sitting side by side on the steps, Xia Yu gnawed on the duck leg and asked, "How did you do in the exam?"

Liang Yiru looked at her with a smile, "I don't want to be the champion."

She was startled, and turned to look at him in disbelief.

He continued, "What's so good about being number one, besides, I don't like to fight for it."

Xia Yu took a deep breath, "Everyone has their own aspirations, but it's actually quite good. When I return to Daizhou Mansion, I'll invite you to Huamanlou to have a good scrub. Then—" She elbowed him, thinking, "I beg my aunt to marry Shuying to you."

Liang Yiru smiled wryly, but said nothing.

When Li Huan came from outside, Liang Yiru knew he had to go, "Take care of yourself." His eyes were complicated.

Xia Yu nodded, "Don't worry, Lord Yan wouldn't dare take my life."

Liang Yiru wanted to say something more, but he opened his mouth, but found that he couldn't say a word.In the end, he smiled helplessly and turned to leave.

He likes her daring to love and hate, and what she wants to do.He didn't regret it until one day she went to the guillotine.If there are some things that can be said earlier, maybe it won't be that kind of result.

But, who can predict the future!
Zhao Shuo never came back, Xia Yu only remembered that she ate a full dinner, and then - fell asleep in a daze.

She has been dreaming, and in the dream, there are footsteps coming and going back and forth around her.

The body became colder and colder, and finally it was bone-chilling.Just like that year when it was snowing heavily, she walked back from the mountain temple alone, and was sleepy and hungry halfway, so she leaned against the corner and fell asleep, almost freezing to death.

In the end, Huzi and Liang Yiru found her and took her back.

That was the only time she got sick and had a fever.

In her sleep, she heard the sound of blood being drawn out of her body, the slight sound carried her deep-seated horror.

She felt scared and wanted to wake up from the dream, but her eyelids were heavy.

"Mother—" she murmured in a low voice, with tears streaming down the corners of her eyes, with unspeakable pain.

"Master?" Li Huan was taken aback.

A man with a goatee pulled out the tube, and carefully plugged the bottle full of blood.

Zhao Shuo frowned, "Xin Fu?"

He is Zhao Shuo's royal doctor - Xin Fu, known as the ghost doctor.

Xin Fu nodded, "It's fine."

Xia Yu's body was shaking violently, her face was as pale as paper.

Zhao Shuo sat on the edge of the bed, reached out to touch her forehead, and felt it was very hot, "I have a fever."

"Perhaps it is because of her special constitution. Once she is weak, she will have symptoms that are different from ordinary people." Xin Fu stepped forward and pinched Xia Yu's pulse. s things."

"It doesn't belong to her? What is it?" Zhao Shuo held her hand tightly and found that her hand was extremely cold.

Xin Fu shook his head, "I don't know. At least, it's not something she can control."

Zhao Shuo frowned slightly, "Let her fever go down."

"Yes." Xin Fu applied the needle to temporarily stabilize Xia Yu's chaotic qi, "I'm going to prescribe the medicine, and it will feel better after taking the medicine."

Zhao Shuo nodded, Li Huan and Xin Fu both stepped back.

In the silent ear room, only the sound of each other's breathing remained.

"Mother—" she cried, her voice was weak, but tears kept rolling down, "Father—"

He frowned.

He has seen her faceless, absurd, passionate, and even extremely stupid.But I have never seen her really cry, just like now, she is really crying.

His fingertips brushed her cheek, subconsciously wiping away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

The tears were boiling hot, slightly burning my hands.

She was sobbing like a child, curled up in her dream, like a wounded hedgehog, using the thorns all over her body to resist all foreign invasions.

He was suddenly not used to Xia Yu like this.

It wasn't until much later that he understood why he felt this way.He has been calculating others all his life, it can be said that he has made every step of the way, and he dare not make mistakes, but in the end he cannot escape the fate of a wise man who is bound to make mistakes.

And this "mistake" made him almost send her to hell.

Xia Yu only remembered that she had a long dream, the dream was so cold that she shivered.She always knew that she was a child without a father and no mother, so she was not allowed to be weak.Because no one can be strong for her.

To live is the greatest happiness.

Even if the sky falls, there is nothing to be afraid of.

Because of her, she was just one person from beginning to end.

The twilight of the morning sun fell from the window, and the golden light hit her body in mottled patterns.

Xia Yu frowned slightly, and opened her eyes wearily.What caught my eyes was Zhao Shuo's disgusted eyes.He sat on the edge of the bed, leaned against the bedpost, let her lean on his lap, and slept like this all night.

She got up in a hurry, feeling weak all over, "Why are you here?"

With a dark face, Zhao Shuo turned around and left.

"Hi." She called out, "Thank you."

He stopped in his tracks, turned his face and gave her a cold look, but he didn't say anything after all.

On her arm, Xia Yu found a red spot.She doesn't remember being hurt, so where did the red dot come from?Xia Yu is well aware of her own physique, and the wound heals very quickly, so——

She got up quickly and strode out the door.

On the table in the flower hall, there are chicken, duck and fish, and a pot of chicken soup specially made to nourish qi and blood, with a smell of medicinal materials.

Zhao Shuo sat on one side drinking tea, and gave her a lukewarm look, "Eat."

Xia Yu was naturally not polite, Gu Zi scooped up a bowl of chicken soup and took a sip, "It tastes alright, but not as good as my brother's." She tore off a big chicken leg, "You said that Prince Rui's mansion does not keep useless people , so I am still useful to you?"

Zhao Shuo remained silent.

Xia Yu continued, "I know why."

He held the lid of the cup between his fingertips, clasped it lightly, and snorted indifferently, "Why?"

"I know, I'm not as smart as you, but don't take me for a fool. In the Daizhou military camp, why did you keep me? Now, it's the same reason." Xia Yu started to drink porridge after eating the chicken legs, "This Few people know about it, but you bumped into it. I couldn't figure it out earlier, but now I understand it, in fact, in your eyes, I am a bloody cow."

The cup lid fell with a crisp sound.

He hooked his lips, and she finally got a little enlightened.

Xia Yu ate the crystal dumpling, biting her chopsticks to look at Zhao Shuo's expressionless face, "If you want to save someone, then I am happy to do it, but I warn you, don't make fun of my life. Life is precious, I don't want to let you torment!"

Zhao Shuo smiled lightly, with a pair of charming peach blossom eyes raised slightly, and asked seriously, "How do you count as tossing?"

"Don't make me half dead." Xia Yu thought for a while, "When the time comes, I won't be able to eat or play, and I won't be free, so I won't do it."

"What if I must kill you?" he asked.

The lip line is slightly raised, outlining a charming chuckle.

Xia Yu was startled, stared at Zhao Shuo for a long time, and then whispered, "Then you'd better kill him with a knife, I'm afraid of pain."

He was slightly startled, and then closed his eyes.

After hesitating for a moment, Xia Yu suddenly asked, "If my life is so valuable, can I exchange the tiger?"

"Impossible!" Zhao Shuo's voice became cold, and the cup in his hand was suddenly clenched, "Don't even think about it."

Li Huan quickly entered the door, "Master, Princess Duanyang is here."

Zhao Shuo's eyes darkened slightly, "Dongfang Yue has made a move?"

"No, Princess Duanyang killed her husband and son-in-law to prove her innocence. In this way, it can be regarded as preserving the Lu Palace, but——I'm afraid I will blame you, my lord." Li Huan lowered his eyes.

"She killed it herself, so what does it have to do with me?" Zhao Shuo sneered.

There was a lot of noise outside, it was the voice of Princess Duanyang——Zhao Yi, breaking into Prince Rui's residence.
