Houmen Yixiang

Chapter 314 A Zhu's Identity

Lu Xinyan was stunned.

Wu Sheng was shocked and stood in front of Lu Xinyan, "Uncle! She is uncle's daughter-in-law! Cousin Xiao's wife! Nephew's cousin!"

"So what?" Wu Rui pointed at Lu Xinyan coldly with the tip of his sword, the murderous intent in his eyes was undisguised, "As long as she is Lu Xinyan, she deserves to die!"

"Come on! Pull the Third Prince away!" Wu Rui sternly shouted.

"Yes!" Two guards came out in response, one right and one right grabbed Wu Sheng's arm, and at the same time pressed the vital points on his body, preventing him from moving.

"Uncle Huang! No, you can't kill her! Uncle Huang!"

Wu Sheng kept yelling, but Wu Rui turned a deaf ear, raised his sword, stabbed Lu Xinyan in the chest coldly and expressionlessly.

"Don't kill her! I don't allow you to kill her!" A small guard suddenly rushed out of the dozens of guards, and stood in front of Lu Xinyan with his arms outstretched.

The guard came too suddenly, Wu Rui's sword was too late for him, and he was about to stab the guard, when there was a sudden bang, the sword in Wu Rui's hand fell to the ground.

"You...you..." Wu Rui pointed at the little guard and the guard who had just knocked the sword out of his hand with a stone, frowning in a zigzag shape between his brows, "You are so brave! You mess around!"

His tone was very stern, without anger and prestige, the little guard didn't move, but the guard who knocked off his sword knelt on the ground on one knee, "This subordinate is guilty, please punish me!"

"Qian Wan!" Wu Rui yelled: "The king asked you to be his bodyguard to protect his life, not to let you play around with him!"

"My subordinate understands!"

"You guys did a good job of hiding it. It took me more than a month to come all the way from Beizhou to eat and sleep in the open air!" Wu Rui looked at the little guard condescendingly, "If you put your mind on In terms of business, I don't have to worry so much about you!"

His imposing manner and natural royal demeanor make people feel cowardly involuntarily.No matter what he says, others probably have to obey.

But the little guard was not afraid at all, "Huh! When did you worry about me? When you were young, you were busy with military affairs and didn't have time to talk to me. When I got older, you thought I was bad or bad. Later A Niang is here, seeing A Niang loves me, you can't wait for me to disappear from this world!"

"You bastard! You are the only one who dares to talk to me like that! If it were someone else, I would have been dragged out and hacked by me!" Wu Rui kicked him angrily.

"If you swear at me again, I'll tell Aniang!"

Wu Rui stared at him, "Isn't this king your father?!"

"Hmph! Who knows, I used to have no father and no mother, but now I have a mother and no father. It doesn't matter whether you have a father or not, you might as well not, lest you rob me of my mother and kill...kill her..."

Lu Xinyan froze for a moment, then realized that what he said about killing her was referring to her.

But why does the tone of the little guard sound familiar?

Wu Rui was so angry that he picked up the sword on the ground, "Don't let anyone stop me today, I will kill him!"

"My lord, calm down!" A guard in his forties hurriedly said, "The son is still young, and now that the concubine is gone, he is so anxious. Don't worry about him, and teach him slowly in the future." that is."

"You're so small, you're fourteen!" Wu Rui said angrily, "At his age, I can already hunt tigers with my bare hands! He's fine, what else can he do besides angering me and fighting against me?"

"My lord, you are so wise and powerful that there are few in the world. With you here, what else do you need to do? My lord knows that you are really clever and smart. Just because he and Qian Wan are hiding in this guard group and no one finds them, it can prove the wisdom of your lord." Peerless."

Wu Rui's complexion improved a bit, "Okay, stop flattering! I thought this king didn't know that he could not be discovered by this king all the time, so you were covering up? One or two help He's hiding it from me, so he wants to turn it against him?"

The guard said embarrassingly: "This subordinate dare not."

Pointing Wu Rui's sword, he said to the little man, "Get out of the way!"

The little guard suddenly stood up and stood aside, "Okay, you kill it, you'd better kill me too! Otherwise, I will definitely tell Aniang that you killed my sister!"

elder sister?Hearing this familiar address, Lu Xinyan couldn't help but look at the little guard.

He stood in front of her before, with his back to her, so she couldn't see his face.Now he moved to the side and stood sideways, Lu Xinyan could see a rough silhouette.

As if aware of her gaze, the little guard turned to look at her.

The familiar delicate facial features made Lu Xinyan exclaim, "Azhu?!"

"It's me, sister." Ah Zhu grinned at her, "Long time no see."

Lu Xinyan was so surprised that she couldn't speak, "You...you are Ah Zhu?! But Ah Zhu is not... isn't she a girl?"

A Zhu in front of her, apart from that face, no matter her voice or posture, she was clearly a boy!
"Sister, I'm sorry, I lied to you before." A Zhu said: "I have a special status, and I was afraid of attracting suspicion when I left Beizhou, so I disguised myself as a woman."

He is the son of Prince Rui. According to the rules of the Tianwu royal family, the prince and his descendants who have gone to the fiefdom are not allowed to leave without the current emperor's will.

Lu Xinyan couldn't help thinking of Ah Zhu's actions before, no wonder she refused to share a room with someone back then!Although he likes to stick to her side, he doesn't have a lot of physical contact with her like Xiao He, the most is to pull her sleeves.

I wasn't close to Xiao He's maidservants at all. At that time, Xiao He complained that she had a weird temper.Sometimes speaking even reveals some quack air.

At that time, she thought that Ah Zhu learned it during the process of escaping, but now it seems that it is a habit that she has been unknowingly infected by being surrounded by rough men since she was a child.

It's no wonder that after arriving in the capital, Ah Zhu, who always loves to move, hides in the Huanxiyuan every day and doesn't go anywhere, probably because she is afraid that people who have seen King Rui will recognize his identity.

"Excellent you! A majestic man pretends to be a woman!" Wu Rui snorted coldly. He didn't know about the man disguised as a woman before.

Ah Zhu made a face at him, "I am willing! I like it! A Niang likes to see me dressed as a woman the most, don't you know?"

Thinking of A Niang in A Zhu's mouth, Wu Rui's complexion immediately turned sour, and the killing intent that had just dissipated gathered up again, and his eyes were full of hostility towards Lu Xinyan.

Lu Xinyan swallowed her saliva, and asked in a low voice, "Azhu, who is the mother you are talking about?"

Ah Zhu said: "It's our mother, Lin Ruyue."

"Ahem!" Lu Xinyan choked on her own saliva: "What?!"

Before Lin Ruyue "died", she had been in Ankangbo Mansion. When did she go to Beizhou, and when did she give birth to a son as old as Ah Zhu?
Could it be that the fake Lin Ruyue was by her side all the time?
But it's impossible, if it's fake, how can the relationship be fake?

Then when did she give birth to Ah Zhu?
"Azhu, did you make a mistake?" Lu Xinyan said cautiously: "I have the impression that Auntie has never left the capital since she married in the capital, so she gave birth to me."

A Zhu glanced at Wu Rui, "I don't know exactly why, I heard that I was born prematurely and was replaced with a dead baby, A Niang always thought I was dead."

Premature?Dead baby?Lu Xinyan suddenly remembered that when she was three years old, Lin Ruyue was punished by the Da Gao family, her fetus was aroused, and she gave birth to a baby boy prematurely. It is said that she was born a dead baby...

"You...you were really born by A Niang? But how could you..." How did you become the son of King Rui?No wonder Azhu is still so thin at fourteen, probably because of her premature birth.

"I also don't think I'm his own." Azhu pouted.

Although he was born exquisitely, his eyebrows and eyes vaguely resembled Wu Rui's. If he got older and became more masculine, he would probably look more like him.

The two people who are so similar can be seen as father and son at first glance. What Ah Zhu said was obviously angry.

Lu Xinyan watched Wu Rui's forehead swell with anger, and quickly changed the subject, "What about Auntie? What did you mean after Auntie left?"

"Aniang came to Beizhou four years ago..."

four years ago?Then in the portrait given by Su Zi before, the small courtyard where Lin Ruyue is located is Prince Rui's Mansion?
Lu Xinyan hurriedly interrupted, "How is Aunt now?"

"You don't wonder how A Niang died and came back to life, why did she go to Beizhou?" Azhuqi asked.

"I'm curious, but I'm more worried about A Niang now!"

"It all starts with how my mother got to Beizhou." Ah Zhu slumped her shoulders, "My mother's body is getting worse day by day in the capital, so my father asked someone to give her a fake death drug, and then secretly sent her to the hospital. Beizhou. I don’t know if it’s because of the fake death medicine or something. After A Niang woke up, she couldn’t remember everything, she just kept calling Zhuzhu. Then she would ask who Zhuzhu was, Zhuzhu Where is the pearl?"

No wonder Lin Ruyue faked her death and came back to life, but she never came to look for her, nor did anyone send any news to her. It turned out that she didn't remember her.

Speaking of this, Azhu became a little angry, "Originally my name was Wu Yue, but since I met A Niang, I have been renamed Wu Zhu! Once A Niang wanted to find Zhuzhu, and my father took me there. My mother said, I am Zhuzhu, Wuzhu! My mother was very happy. I was very angry at first. The name Wu Yue is bad enough. In the end, I changed it when I said it, and changed it to a more ugly one called Wuzhu! Zhuzhuzhuzhu, it sounds like a pig! Sister, I didn’t mean you, I didn’t know you existed at the time.”

In the end, Azhu made a point of explaining.

Lu Xinyan was amazed when she heard that, and worried about Lin Ruyue's situation, so she had to hold back if she wanted to be urged.

"I didn't like Wu Zhu's name at all at that time, but my mother liked it, so I reluctantly accepted it! My mother was very kind to me, and my father was jealous, and every day he scolded me and scolded me for despising me..."

Wu Rui finally couldn't take it anymore, "Tell me the key points!"

This traitor was probably sent by God to torture him!

Azhu curled her lips, "Later, I found out from the news sent by the capital that my sister was going to Jianglin, so I secretly went to you with Qian Wan. More than a month ago, I just returned to Beizhou not long ago. Tian A Niang suddenly disappeared. It is said that someone showed her your portrait, and she left with that person."

Lu Xinyan's heart tightened violently, the person who showed Lin Ruyue her portrait must be someone sent by Wuyuan!

A mother who has lost her memory and can't remember anything can still cause throbbing when she sees the portrait of her daughter, even risking her life to come to her. What kind of deep maternal love is this?

Lu Xinyan was suddenly worried, if Lin Ruyue saw her one day and realized that she was no longer the original Zhuzhu, what would happen to her?
"After a few days, Dad received a letter, so he packed his luggage and prepared to come to the capital. I was worried about Mommy, and I was afraid that he would be bad for you, so I followed quietly."

It seems that Wu Rui usually shows his dislike for her in front of Ah Zhu, otherwise Ah Zhu would not have such worries!

Lu Xinyan could somewhat understand Wu Rui's dislike for her. If Wu Rui loved Lin Ruyue deeply, but Lin Ruyue married someone else by mistake, he would naturally not like Lin Ruyue's child with another man.Especially in the end because of her, Lin Ruyue willingly and risking being cheated away by others, Wu Rui's anger can be imagined.

But what makes her strange is that Wu Rui doesn't even like her who has half of Lin Ruyue's blood, so he should hate Lu Congyuan who married his beloved woman, so why would he give him a piece to save his life and give orders? The jade pendant of the Five Hundred Dragon Guards?And that golden mountain.

Lu Xinyan glanced at Wu Rui quietly, his face was covered with frost, and the murderous intent had not completely dissipated in his dangerous and charming eyes like a deep pool, Lu Xinyan immediately dismissed the idea of ​​asking him.

Forget it, save my life first, find A Niang and talk about it, and then slowly solve the confusion later.

"Azhu, I'm afraid I won't be able to go with you, I have to find someone first." Lu Xinyan said: "Now the capital is extremely dangerous, you have to be careful."

Wu Sheng, who was stunned for a long time, finally came back to his senses, "Biao sister-in-law, are you going to look for Shuyun? Uncle Huang has already sent someone to look for it."

Lu Xinyan was stunned, then saluted Wu Rui, "Thank you, my lord."

It's Wu Rui's business that Wu Rui doesn't want to see her, but she still has to be polite.

"You're welcome, if I knew it was your person, this king would never let anyone find him!"

Lu Xinyan: ...

At this moment, Doctor Bai who was treating Lu Xinyan suddenly said, "A Zhi, I mean Bai Zhi, is she okay?"

Lu Xinyan was surprised and said: "You know Bai Zhi? The surname is Bai, could it be..."

"That's right, I'm her father, Bai Hun." Bai Hun nodded.

"Bai Zhi was fine until yesterday."

After yesterday, Lu Xinyan didn't know the current situation in Beijing, but she didn't need to guess to know that the situation was not good.

Bai Hun also heard Wu Sheng say something just now, with a worried look on his face, but he didn't say anything more.

"Uncle Bai, Bai Zhi will be fine, don't worry."

"Uncle Bai, are you the father of Sister Baizhi? You don't look like that!" Azhu scratched her head, if she looked like her, he would have recognized him long ago.

Bai Hun was born with a rough face, not like a doctor but like a martial artist, Bai Zhi was born with a beauty, if Bai Hun hadn't taken the initiative to ask, no one would have guessed that the two were father and daughter.

Lu Xinyan glared at Ah Zhu, blaming him for being too hurtful.

Bai Hun said sadly: "A Zhi was born like her mother."

Bai Zhi said before that her mother was born with angina pectoris, and she died after giving birth.

Lu Xinyan didn't know how to comfort her for a while.

At this moment, the guard beside Wu Rui asked, "My lord, do you still want to enter the city now?"

If you take the avenue, you can reach the north gate of the capital in half a day at most.

"My king and Wuyuan agreed to meet the day after tomorrow. Let's set up camp at the same place!" Wu Rui said, "Send someone to investigate the situation in Beijing right away!"

"Yes, my lord!"

Wu Yuan tricked Lin Ruyue away with Lu Xinyan's portrait, and invited him to the capital, there must be some conspiracy.But yesterday Wuyuan was forced into the palace, Wu Rui needs to think about it, what is Wuyuan's intention?

Although he was worried about Lin Ruyue in his heart, he wished he could fly to the capital in the next second.However, the more this happened, the more Wu Rui had to force himself to calm down, think of countermeasures, and ensure that there would be no mistakes.

Such self-control made Lu Xinyan look sideways.

To be honest, only after meeting Wu Rui did Lu Xinyan know what a real nobleman is and what a real royal demeanor is.

Compared with Emperor Longde who has been in power for 18 years, Wu Rui's inherently convincing and willing surrender temperament is obviously better.

A person like him is a natural leader, a natural pride!No wonder the first emperor paid attention to him and secretly gave him the dragon guard.

"Sister, are you hungry? I have something to eat here!"

Seeing Lu Xinyan nodding, Ah Zhu hastily handed over the dry food she brought with her to Lu Xinyan as if offering a treasure.

"Send some to the third prince too." Lu Xinyan said.

Azhu took some and handed it to Wu Sheng. After Wu Sheng took it, he asked in disbelief, "Are you really the uncle's real son? My cousin?"

Wu Rui seldom returns to Beijing, and Wu Sheng knows very little about him. He only knows that Wu Rui is closer to him than other princes because Wu Rui has a good relationship with Xiao Yan.

As for the prince and concubine, I have never heard of it. What everyone knows is that Wu Rui is unmarried, has no concubine or concubine, and only adopted an adopted son.

Because the adopted son was not of royal blood, the rest of the royal family didn't care too much.

But unexpectedly, Wu Rui not only has a concubine, but the concubine was someone else's wife, and the adopted son was actually his own son!
Look at the way A Zhu is so angry with Wu Rui, it's obvious that she is spoiled!Not biological, how could it be so?

"It should be." Azhu replied perfunctorily, he had never met other members of the Wu family, and although they were related by blood, they had no feelings at all.

Seeing Wu Sheng receiving the dry rations, he immediately returned to Lu Xinyan's side to greet him.

After Lu Xinyan ate some dry food, she began to ask questions in her heart, "Azhu, you clearly knew that your father didn't like me, so why did you try your best to encourage me to go back to Beizhou? You also gave me medicine to take me away?"

Azhu said: "Actually, I hated you very much. After my mother came, my father wanted to change my name to Azhu, but I refused. My father threatened me, saying that my mother had a daughter named Zhuzhu. Someday Auntie will think of her, so she will not want me anymore. I had no choice but to agree to change my name to Wuzhu, but I envy and envy you in my heart, wondering what you look like and what kind of temperament you are. I don’t remember, but I still remember your name? Later, I went to Jianglin to look for you. At first, I thought that if you were not good, I would ask Qian Wan to kill you. From now on, Aniang will be mine alone! As soon as I saw you, I fell in love with you somehow. I felt that I have a mother and a sister, and I am no longer alone before. How wonderful! So I want you to go back to Beizhou with me, our family Reunion!"

As he spoke, he quietly lowered his voice, "Actually, there is another reason. I'm afraid that one day Auntie will think of you and come to the capital to look for you. At that time, Auntie will definitely come with Auntie! He is the prince, I am the eldest son, if he doesn't even throw Beizhou to me even if he is a prince, I can't leave! Then I will really become a child without a father or a mother!"

Lu Xinyan couldn't help but think of the way Azhu was crying when she was dizzy and wanted to take her away, and was chased by Xiao Yichen.At that time, she didn't know why guilt surged up in her heart, but now she knows that they have half the same blood!
Wu Rui took Azhu, who was born not long ago, to leave the capital for the fief of Beizhou. A young man had to gain a foothold in Beizhou quickly and find a way to deal with Changdi's attack. on Ah Zhu.For Azhu, it is probably the stocking mode.

Because of the lack of love since she was a child, Azhu's temperament is a bit dependent on herself, and she refuses to grow up, so she confronts Wu Rui like this.

"By the way, before leaving Jiang Lin, what did you tell Wu En that made him so sad?"

"I told him I was a man, but he didn't believe me, so I let him touch mine..." Ah Zhu said uncomfortably.

Wu En was thinking of Azhu wholeheartedly, and wanted to marry Azhu as his little wife, but finally found out that the little wife he was thinking of was a man. The kind of shock can be imagined.

Lu Xinyan didn't know what to say, she looked around, "I don't know if the person who went to comb the clouds found her?"

"Don't worry about that. Although Dad is not very good, the guard uncles under him are all very powerful. They will definitely find Shu Yun!"

Speaking of guards, Lu Xinyan thought of the white-haired man in Guizhuang, "That white-haired man is your guard, right?"

"Sister, you are so smart!" A Zhu giggled, "Qian Wan, come and meet my sister."

The man who knocked down the sword in Wu Rui's hand came over. He had deliberately turned his back on Lu Xinyan before, so Lu Xinyan only saw his true face now.

Sure enough, it was the white-haired man I saw in Guizhuang!But that hair...

"I've seen the princess!"

"your hair?"

Qian Wanyi looked at Ah Zhu with an aggrieved expression.

A Zhu said: "Before sneaking into Father's guard, I forced him to dye his hair black, otherwise it would be too easy for Father to find out."

Lu Xinyan tapped Ah Zhu's forehead, and said speechlessly, "Naughty!"

Then he said worriedly: "You stood in front of me just now, Qian Wan was afraid that your father would hurt you, so he knocked off the sword in your father's hand, wouldn't he be punished?"

"No!" Ah Zhu said: "Qian Wan is responsible for protecting me. As long as my life is threatened, no matter who the opponent is, he will strike without hesitation! Qian Wan was just doing his duty just now, Father not only I won’t punish him, maybe I will reward him!”

"That's good!" Lu Xinyan felt relieved, thinking that Wu Rui really has a way of managing people.In this way, Qian Wan will only be more loyal.

"Sister, I have something else to tell you."

"what's up?"

"I asked Qian Wan to kill that scumbag Ding Long from Sister Qin's house."

Lu Xinyan: ...

Azhu said disapprovingly, "So Yuan Xian'er and Su Zi bullied my sister, I wanted Qian Wan to do it too."

If Ah Zhu had really killed Su Zi back then, Lin Ruyue would not have been discovered, and she would not be missing now, with her life and death unknown.

But in this way, she will never know that Lin Ruyue is still alive, and she may not know that Ah Zhu is her half-brother.

Lu Xinyan wanted to tell Ah Zhu that Su Zi knew that he was from Beizhou, so she told Wuyuan, Wuyuan sent people to Beizhou to investigate, and only then did she find out about Lin Ruyue.

After thinking about it, she decided to forget it, she was afraid that Ah Zhu would blame herself.

With Wu Rui's cleverness, he must have guessed that the leak of Lin Ruyue's news had something to do with Ah Zhu, after all, only Ah Zhu had left Beizhou.Since he didn't say it, she didn't need to say it.

At this time, the person sent to look for Shu Yun came back, "My lord, the person you asked my subordinates to find was taken away by Master Long first."

They were in a state of embarrassment, probably because they had done something before.

"Long Tianxing? It's impossible for him to get involved with Wuyuan." Wu Rui frowned, turned his head and asked, "Did you offend Long Tianxing?"

Lu Xinyan: "...It's a bit complicated to say, but if the person is taken away by Lord Long, then it's safe! Thank you, my lord."

-

When she fell off the cliff, Shuyun was lucky. Several big trees protruded from the middle of the cliff, buffering her descent.

After the final fall, there happened to be a haystack underneath, and Shu Yun didn't suffer any serious injuries, but the feeling of almost dying made her so weak that she couldn't move at all.

The sky gradually turned gray, and Shu Yun lay there for a long time without recovering.

Looking at the gradually clear blue sky and white clouds, she was worried about Lu Xinyan's safety, but first, she couldn't climb the mountain at all, and second, she couldn't help if she went up, maybe it would become a burden instead.

So she lay down and took a breath, and when she felt the strength returned to her body, Shu Yun got up, found a wooden stick as a crutch, and walked forward slowly.

As a result, the body who ate only one fruit a day and night was weaker than expected. He accidentally fell, rolled down the slope, and got stuck between two rocks and couldn't move.

She was so weak that she couldn't move the stone at all, and after using the last bit of strength, Shu Yun thought drowsily: I didn't expect that she didn't fall to her death, but she was going to starve to death here.

There was a sudden blackness in front of his eyes, and Shu Yun thought he was going to faint, but his consciousness was still very clear.

She lifted her eyelids vigorously, and a handsome and indifferent face appeared in front of her eyes.

"However, after leaving you for a few days, you have made such a ghostly appearance. Do you want to leave your side in the future?"
