Uncle Nine

Chapter 66
The cold sword was resting on Xia Yu's neck, as long as the sword edge moved a little bit, she would be killed on the spot.Xia Yu stood there without moving, her cold eyes staring fiercely at Sun Qi in front of her.

"If you want to take someone away from Prince Mao's mansion, you have to ask the prince if he agrees." Sun Qi sneered.

The sound of footsteps came from behind Xia Yu, and she knew it must be King Mao Zhao Yu.

Sure enough, Zhao Yu finally walked up to Xia Yu, "This king knew about your affair as early as at the banquet in Prince Rui's residence. You secretly met at the rockery behind my back, I never thought you would dare to come to Prince Mao's residence today. You guys are so brave, where is this king going to be placed?"

Xia Yu squinted at him, "Since you know that I belong to Prince Rui's Palace, why don't you let your people move the sword away?"

Sun Qi put away his sword, and retreated to Zhao Yu's side in silence.

"Shuying is already my person, the singing and dancing girl of Prince Mao's Mansion. Even if the king doesn't want her, she will never leave Prince Mao's mansion. She is a member of Prince Mao's mansion by birth, and she is also a ghost of Prince Mao's mansion when she dies." Zhao Yu sneered coldly, his gaze He stared at Shuying fiercely.

That kind of look almost wants to eat people.

Xia Yu stopped in front of Shuying, "Then what do you want to let her go?"

"I paid 10 taels to redeem this bitch. If you take her away like this, I'm in a panic?" Zhao Yu gritted his teeth, "Even if I get tired of playing, I won't give it to you for nothing."

"Isn't it all about money? I'll give you the 10 taels." Xia Yu took a deep breath. She felt that it was a pity that she hadn't been a real man in her life.This kind of hero saving the beauty can be spread on himself, and he also said such a heroic ambition.

10 million taels?
It was raining in her heart: Selling herself, there is no 10 taels!
But the words have been spoken, how can they be taken back?

Zhao Yu suddenly laughed, with a contemptuous smile, "10 taels, did you hear clearly? I said 10 taels! You are a servant in Prince Rui's mansion, where did you get 10 taels? Are you looking at me? Go Murder and arson, or get rich overnight?"

"My lord looks down on me too much." For this sake, Xia Yu has a swollen face and wants to look fat, "As the saying goes, as big as the heart is, so is the courage. In this world, those who are courageous eat, and those who are not courageous drink porridge. Isn't it? Since I promised you, I will naturally give you the money, and then don't regret it, my lord!"

Hearing this, Zhao Yu hesitated a little, looking at Xia Yu's confident appearance, but he didn't believe in evil, "Okay, I will see how brave you are! Within three days, if you can deliver 10 Ten thousand taels of silver, I'll give you Shuying! If not, don't blame me for going to Prince Rui's residence and leaving you dead. When the time comes, don't regret it!"

Xia Yu straightened her body, and said loudly, "Okay! A gentleman is quick to say something, but you must promise me that within three days, I will treat Shuying with delicious food and drink, and don't be mean to her. After three days , all 10 taels will be offered. Pay the money with one hand and the person with the other, and we will settle the matter!"

Zhao Yu walked away, and Shuying was also taken away.

Xia Yu will never forget in this life, when Shuying was taken away, her tearful and pleading eyes were heartbreakingly beautiful and blurred.Although she didn't say anything, she was already silent.

10 taels!
Another 10 taels!
Unless Xia Yu went to rob and steal, Xia Yu would not be able to collect 10 taels within three days even if he was killed.Could it be possible to ask Zhao Shuo to borrow money?But that cheapskate will definitely not borrow it.

After much deliberation, Xia Yu made a bold decision.

She didn't go to find Liang Yiru, because even if she found Liang Yiru, Liang Yiru couldn't get together 10 taels within three days.Up to now, relying on no one is worse than relying on yourself.

Xia Yu went to a place where Jianghu people gathered, it was a small village outside the capital, and there were many Jianghu people doing business in it.Of course, the goods sold are not normal goods, they are all swords, guns and halberds, as well as poisons and antidotes.

It's not for nothing that I have been shopping in the capital for so long.

Walking into a pharmacy, Xia Yu put an ingot of silver in front of the cabinet, "I want to buy something."

The shopkeeper looked up at her, then stared at the white silver, grinned with yellow teeth and asked, "I have poison here, what do you want?"

"I want the most poisonous spider." She pursed her lips.

The shopkeeper smiled and raised two fingers, "Black Widow, is it poisonous enough?"

She nodded and added another ingot of silver, "I want it."

Both money and goods, if you give money, you will naturally sell things to you.

Xia Yu walked back with the box in her hand. The people in this village are all Jiang Hu people, so she dared not stay.Any ordinary person may have a background in the world.If you offend someone you shouldn't, you will be in trouble for the rest of your life.

The rivers and lakes are not like the imperial court. There are ways in the rivers and lakes, and it is inevitable that there will be unruly ones.

This is the three-way zone of the imperial court, so dragons and snakes are mixed, so be careful.

When she walked out of the village, Xia Yu felt relieved, hugged the box tightly in her arms, and ran towards Prince Rui.She hid the box under her bedding so that no one would find it.

Just wait until night, and it will come in handy.

Fortunately, there were many affairs in the court, and the emperor hosted a banquet, so Zhao Shuo stayed in the palace at noon.

"Uncle Emperor." Zhao Yan smiled lightly.

Zhao Shuo didn't say much, just sat down.

Dongfang Yue snorted coldly, and said to Zhao Lu and the Empress Dowager Bao Yao, "I have heard that the Great Xia Emperor Yuan Bi intends to negotiate peace with me, Dayan, and would like to invite a woman from the royal family of Dayan to marry Crown Prince Yuan Lei."

After the sound fell, Zhao Yan raised her head in astonishment, and quickly looked at Bao Yao and Zhao Lu.

"Before Da Xia spoke, the regent began to worry about Prince Da Xia's marriage, isn't it a little too hasty?" Zhao Shuo said lightly.

"Mother's queen?" Zhao Yan started coughing as soon as she got excited. She had a delicate and unparalleled face, her cheeks were flushed from coughing at this moment, and her dying state was as delicate as a Xishi holding her heart, which was really unbearable.

Bao Yao said coldly, "Yan'er, don't panic. If this happened, you are not the only woman in the royal family. Many children of the late emperor, even if they don't have orthodox princesses, they also have offspring. How can the queen mother be willing to let you go, let alone your body , and can’t go that far.”

Only then did Zhao Yan gasp for breath, and the expression on her face eased.

"Prince Regent, what do you think?" Bao Yao asked.

"What the queen mother said is true." Dongfang Yue looked at Zhao Yan worriedly, "The princess is not feeling well, do you want to ask the imperial doctor to take a look?"

Zhao Yan shook her head with a smile, "Thank you King Regent, I'm fine."

Lanzhu quickly handed over a medicine, and Zhao Yan's complexion eased slightly after taking the medicine.

Seeing this, Dongfang Yue breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhao Shuo drank his tea slowly, and when Dongfang Yue mentioned the marriage between Prince Rui's residence and Ye's family, he raised his head to look at Dongfang Yue.

"This matter should be settled." Bao Yao said, then turned to look at Zhao Lu, "What does the emperor think?"

Zhao Lu took a deep breath and nodded, "Uncle Huang has been alone for many years, it's time to get married."

"Since I have been alone for many years, there is no need to be in a hurry." Zhao Shuo replied lukewarmly.

Bao Yao said, "The blood of the Zhao family is getting thinner and thinner. If Prince Rui doesn't care about it, how can he be worthy of the Zhao family's ancestors? I'm afraid it's not a good thing for the royal family to wither. Prince Rui should open branches for the royal family." Ye, have more children, so that there will be successors, and it will be beneficial to the consolidation of Dayan's country."

Zhao Shuo curled his lips, "The emperor has no heirs, so the Empress Dowager should be worried."

Bao Yao was dumbfounded.

"It seems that Prince Rui has his own heart, otherwise why do you reject this marriage so much?" Dongfang Yue interjected.

"My heart belongs to the regent, and I don't know if the regent is willing to grow old with me?" Zhao Shuo smiled.

Dongfang laughed instead of anger, "I'm afraid it will hurt both sides!"

"There is no harm without love, what does the Regent think?" Zhao Shuo raised his eyebrows slightly, and smiled wickedly.A pair of charming peach eyes, with a slight streamer, as if she really belongs to Dongfang Yue and wants to marry him.

Seeing this, Dongfang Yue closed his eyes, not wanting to be entangled.

"Uncle Huang is unwilling?" Zhao Lu hesitated.

Zhao Yan said with a smile, "Isn't it true that Uncle Huang really has something to belong to?"

Zhao Shuo rubbed his brows, "Women in the world may have plans or grudges against me, and I don't want to get involved. I just want to be alone, chic and unrestrained."

"Uncle Huang is so brave." Zhao Yan pursed her lips and smiled with gentle eyes.

Zhao Ludao, "It's just that Prince Rui's mansion is so big, after all, there must be a woman in charge. Do you think that the prince and grandson of the family don't have three wives and four concubines? I don't ask the emperor uncle to be like this, but I hope the emperor uncle can leave someone to take care of him. .If I can add a son and a half daughter in the future, it's all on my mind."

Zhao Shuo sighed softly, and looked at Zhao Lu.

After a long time, Zhao Shuo closed his eyes, took a sip of the tea in his cup, and said in a calm but cool voice, "Follow the emperor's disposal."

A marriage was settled like this.

As a royal, political marriage is sometimes unavoidable after all.You can hide from the first day of junior high school, but you can't hide from the fifteenth day.

Unlike ordinary people, how helpless after all.

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

Because everyone was having a banquet, Dongfang Qing walked around the palace.I looked up and realized that I had reached the Wenhua Palace, so I went in to look for a book, but found a man writing hard.

"Why are you alone?" Dongfang Qing looked around, "What's your name?"

Those who can walk around in the palace and dress differently from those of the maids in the palace are definitely not ordinary people.

"Walk in the Wenhua Palace, Liang Yiru." He bowed and saluted.

"You don't have to salute with me. I'm not an official of the imperial court, so I can't afford your big gift." Dongfang Qing smiled, "What did you write?" She stepped forward, and saw an excellent small seal on the white paper, " Flowers and moons seldom meet, cattail grass goes with the wind. If you have to look back frequently, it’s no pity to be flashy.”

She smiled, "Liang Yiru? But the second place in this exam, Liang Yiru?"
