Uncle Nine

Chapter 72
Xia Yu was stunned, "Dongfang Xu?"

Liang Yiru nodded, "Yes."

"But—didn't it say that Zhao Shuo liked Miss Ye family very much?" Xia Yu didn't understand, since Zhao Shuo loved Miss Ye family very much, then—why didn't he marry her?Instead, she became Dongfang Xu's fiancée?

"In life, there will always be times when there is nothing you can do. It is impossible to have everything you want." Liang Yiru sighed softly, "Now that the marriage between Prince Rui's residence and the Ye family is imminent, old things are brought up a lot, and I have heard some of them. Listen to Wenhua Those elders in the hall said that at that time Prince Rui was young and didn't have much power in his hands, so naturally it couldn't be compared with the prosperity of the Prince Regent's Palace."

Xia Yu lowered her eyes, "Did Zhao Laojiu let go?"

Liang Yiru shook his head, "I heard that Prince Rui almost eloped with Ye Zhiqiu and was intercepted by General Ye. This incident alarmed the Regent at the time, and he fought with Prince Rui on the top of Jinling Mountain, and Prince Rui lost."

"So, Ye Zhiqiu can only marry Dongfang Xu?" Xia Yu was stunned, "That battle must be very dangerous."

Who is the regent Dongfang Yue?He will definitely not show mercy.

"It seems that Prince Rui was seriously injured at that time, and Ye Zhiqiu married Master Dongfang justifiably." Liang Yiru frowned, "On the day of marriage, Ye Zhiqiu committed suicide by taking poison in the boudoir. There are different opinions, saying that Ye Zhiqiu's heart belonged to Prince Rui, and he did not want to marry Master Dongfang, so he kept the festival Suicide. It was also from then on that Prince Rui never allowed any woman to get close to him, and from then on he had no choice but to be masculine."

Xia Yu's eyes darkened, "Is it because of Ye Zhiqiu that he likes men?"

Shuying regretted, "Miss Ye is really admirable."

"It is also because of this that the Ye family and Prince Rui's residence have not been in touch with each other for so many years. Now the hatred has finally subsided, and the Ye family Xu and Prince Rui's residence are destined to be married in the end. Let it be, to make up for the inability to love at the beginning What a pity in the world." Liang Yiru sighed softly, "I heard from them that Ye Zhiqiu's appearance is peerless, and he and Prince Rui are a match made in heaven."

"Ayu, your complexion is not very good, is there something wrong?" Shuying frowned.

Xia Yu pouted, "I want to go back."

Liang Yiru looked at her worriedly, "Then go back and rest early, Shuying, take care of her."

"Don't worry." Shuying smiled gently at Liang Yiru.

Along the way, Xia Yu didn't say a word, she seemed to have something on her mind, but also seemed not very happy.When she returned to Prince Rui's Mansion, she realized that the eunuch who announced the decree had not left yet, and was still talking with Zhao Shuo in the front hall of Yangxin Pavilion.

"Shuying, you go back to Yingchun Garden first, I'll go to Yangxin Pavilion to have a look." Xia Yu pursed her lips.

Shuying nodded, "Then be careful yourself."

Xia Yu ran away.

Standing behind the pillars of the cloister, she saw the eunuchs and mothers standing there in the flower hall from a distance.Zhao Shuo sat there drinking tea, always looking calm and relaxed.The shining imperial decree was placed on the case, with golden dragon patterns embroidered on it.

She stood there fixedly, staring at the imperial decree.

Zhao Shuo is really going to get married, and he is marrying a lady from a well-matched family.I don't know why, but I just feel uncomfortable.It seemed to be suffocating a breath, an inexplicable breath.

Those who came were Wu En, the chief eunuch next to the Empress Dowager Bao Yao, and Aunt Fang Ying.

Aunt Fang said, "The Queen Mother's meaning must be clear to the prince. Qin Tian inspected the calendar and found that there were no good days before the year, so the wedding was postponed to the beginning of spring next year. It may be busy after the New Year, but it is worth it. It's just that if the prince and Miss Ye don't see each other for a long time, I'm afraid it will hinder the development of friendship, and I'm afraid that General Ye will think that the royal family is deliberately neglecting you."

Manager Wu continued, "So the emperor discussed with the empress dowager to let Miss Ye come to live in the mansion for a while, as a way to familiarize herself with the environment first, so as not to get used to it when she gets used to it. Besides, I can communicate more with the prince, so that I can understand more in the future. The prince's living habits are better to serve you, the prince."

The two looked at each other, isn't the meaning clear enough?
Zhao Shuo drank his tea slowly, "The emperor and the empress dowager have already made a decision, so why ask the king for his opinion?"

"This is Prince Rui's Mansion after all, and you are the master." Director Wu laughed, "If you don't open your mouth, we dare not send people inside!"

"You guys saw that I brought back a dancer from Prince Mao's mansion, that's why you rushed to send the girl to me." Who is Zhao Shuo, it is true, "If you have anything else to say, say it together , no need to hesitate."

Manager Wu and Aunt Fang looked at each other, what could be hidden from the eyes of Prince Rui?
Aunt Fang stepped forward resentfully, "Princess—Princess and Miss Ye have a very good friendship, so I will accompany you to the palace for a few days. It is right to go out of the palace to relax after recovering from illness."

"Princess?" Zhao Shuo frowned slightly.

Manager Wu smiled flatteringly, "Yes, yes, the princess has recovered recently, and the empress dowager and the emperor are very pleased. But the princess thinks that the palace is stuffy, and she has nowhere to go. So she wants to accompany Miss Ye to stay at the mansion for a few days , my lord, look—”

Zhao Shuo rubbed his eyebrows, "Stay, it's not impossible. It's just that what I said was ugly. There are still many people in my house. You should know who I'm talking about. The truth is the same inside and outside the palace. Survival and survival depend on one's own ability. If you offend Miss Ye and the princess, I hope the emperor and the empress dowager will show mercy. Don't blame me. If the emperor and the queen mother agree to this condition, Miss Ye and the princess can come to stay at any time. Ben The Wang's Prince Rui's Mansion is not the Prince Regent's Mansion, so there is no blood to be seen."

Hearing Zhao Shuo let go, the two of them couldn't help but be overjoyed.

"The servant immediately reports to the Empress Dowager and the Emperor." Manager Wu saluted with a smile.

Aunt Fang followed closely to salute, and the two quickly walked out of Prince Rui's mansion one after the other.

Seeing the two of them leaving, Xia Yu walked over step by step.He didn't even enter the door, but just sat on the steps outside, resting his chin on one hand and looking at the vast blue sky.This is great, one Ye Eryu, one princess.

Prince Rui's Mansion is really going to be lively.

"Why don't you come in?" Zhao Shuo asked.

"The air outside is good." Xia Yu sat there motionless, "There is a lot of stench in the room."

He stood behind her, the corners of his lips slightly raised.Leaning over to look at her, "Are you jealous? Are you in love with me?"

She glared at him, groaned in disgust, and turned her head away to ignore him.

"Speak." He directly pulled her up.

Xia Yu curled her lips, "It's fine for the princess to come into the house, that Ye Eryu - is your future Princess Rui, I have a problem with her, you don't know. Last time she wanted to kill me, now that she comes, Do I still have a good time?"

"She lives in her yard, and you live in my Yangxin Pavilion, does it matter?" Zhao Shuo raised his eyebrows.

She frowned and thought about it, as if it really didn't matter.

"But she is the future mistress, the mistress of Prince Rui's Palace, you still—" she bit her lip, her voice became weaker and weaker, "let the tiger go, and then—" she didn't dare to continue.

She is a backup "blood cow", how could Zhao Shuo let her go.Although he didn't know who Zhao Shuo was going to save, this person must be very important to him.

The light in his eyes was icy cold, Zhao Shuo said coldly, "You want to leave so much?"

Xia Yu took a deep breath and did not speak.

He turned around and left.

"If Ye Eryu kills me, can't I run away?" She shouted angrily.

Zhao Shuo paused, turned his face sinisterly, "If she slaps you, you won't slap back?"

"But she is Ye Eryu, the general's daughter, the future Princess Rui, and the imperial decree is still on the table!" Xia Yu stepped forward quickly.

"Then who are you?" he asked.

Xia Yu frowned, and was slightly taken aback, "Prince Rui's servant."

When the sound fell, he walked away.

How could she have forgotten what he said: everything in Prince Rui's mansion belongs to him, including her life.

Smiling slightly, Xia Yu hurriedly chased after her.

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

A carriage was parked in the depths of the forest, Ye Guangyao rode over, his confidants quickly dispersed, guarding the surroundings of the carriage, so as not to let others approach.After getting off his horse, Ye Guangyao quickly got into the carriage.

Inside the carriage, Dongfang Yue sat coldly, expressionless.

"My lord." Ye Guangyao saluted.

"Sit." Dongfang Yue said.

Ye Guangyao sat down, and then said, "The imperial decree has been issued, and the matter of getting married is irreversible. Although it will be years later, Prince Rui will definitely not be able to escape this time. According to the order of the lord, the minister and Eryu will play together. Now both the Empress Dowager and the Emperor have agreed to send Eryu to live in Prince Rui's residence for a while, so that the two can get used to each other."

Dongfang Yue sneered, "Zhao Shuo."

"If it wasn't for him, Qiu'er wouldn't have died." Ye Guangyao rolled his eyes coldly.

"Don't worry, Zhao Shuo won't be proud for long. However, you still need to pay close attention to that matter." Dongfang Yue narrowed his cold eyes slightly, "If you can't find that thing, everything is useless."

Ye Guangyao nodded, "I have been searching for more than ten years, but I still can't find his hiding place. Some time ago there was movement in the Daizhou government, but Prince Rui is also looking for it, will he be the first to find it?"

"If he had found it long ago, he wouldn't wait until now." Dongfang Yue sneered, "Besides, Da Xia and Wu Tuo Kingdom are staring at each other, forgive him and dare not act rashly. Even if there is a Xie Huan, so what, one person can stop it." Thousands of troops?"

"Xie Huan's request to come back will probably be within a few days. If Da Xia really wants to get married, will the princess—"

Before Ye Guangyao finished speaking, Dongfang Yue's face turned cold, "Impossible!" He took a deep breath, "The princess must never make a marriage. If you really want to make a marriage, this king has a suitable candidate."

"If Daxia is drawn over, what about Utopia?" Ye Guangyao frowned.

Dongfang Yue brushed a strand of silver hair from the sideburns, "This king has his own opinion."

"Yes." Ye Guangyao nodded.

"After Ye Eryu entered Prince Rui's mansion, let her hurry up. Although she is not married yet, she is still the legitimate Princess Rui. As long as Zhao Shuo can give birth to a son and a half in the future, everything will be in my king's pocket." Dongfang Yue Cut teeth.

Ye Guangyao nodded, "What the regent said is absolutely true."

"You go back first, the king will come to you if something happens."

After getting out of the car, Ye Guangyao got on his horse and rode away.

The carriage slowly drove out of the woods and gradually drifted away.

The emperor has no heirs yet, and I don't know why.

And if this Prince Rui can have a son, as long as he is of the blood of the Zhao family, he can support the young emperor and abolish the current sage.It's a pity that Zhao Shuo was so masculine, the entire Prince Rui's residence was male except for men, so it was not easy to have an heir to inherit.
