Chapter 53 The Humble Zhao Wuyou
"Mother?" Zhao Wuyou called out in a low voice.

Yang Jinzhi suddenly came back to his senses, and stared at her with flustered eyes.

Who is Zhao Wuyou, she can read your mind just by looking at you.Even if Yang Jinzhi didn't need to speak, she already understood that she was different from ordinary people.The root of this is probably still on the blue mark.

"Is it because of that mark?" Zhao Wuyou asked.

"No!" Yang Jinzhi interrupted her, her tone was hurried, and she calmed down and felt that something was wrong, so she slowed down her tone, "Hehuan, there is no need to pursue some things, it is not good for you. Mother will not harm you." You don't want to hurt you, so some words stop here, don't mention them in front of your father, understand?"

Zhao Wuyou looked at his mother, narrowed his eyes and lowered his head, "Mother, now people put knives on my neck, why can't I know the secrets about myself? Mother, you don't want me to die without knowing it one day. Not for nothing!"

"Acacia!" Yang Jinzhi was in a hurry, sitting up tremblingly, the beads in his hand were spinning very fast, with a look of fear and fear on his face, "Buddha bless you, Buddha forgives you, it's not intentional for children to be speechless. Amitabha, Amitabha……"

"Mother!" Zhao Wuyou opened his mouth, seeing his mother so anxious, he hesitated.She just said it casually, and she became so nervous. As a child, it is indeed unfilial.She knew very well that when encountering such a big matter, her mother was still tight-lipped, and she would never say anything again.

That being the case, she can only find another way.

Gently hugging his mother, Zhao Wuyou smiled lightly and his eyes were gentle, "Okay, mother, let's not ask any more questions, just let this matter go! From now on, I won't ask again."

Yang Jinzhi took a deep breath, lowered his eyes heavily, and patted Zhao Wuyou's back lightly, "Hehuan, there are some things that should not be said in vain, God has eyes. Mother doesn't ask for anything else, but I hope my son is safe and sound. We will live together in this life Already rich and honored to the extreme, I have nothing to ask for, just ask for a peaceful time together."

Zhao Wuyou smiled lightly, "What mother said is very true, He Huan will keep it in mind."

She couldn't stay in Yun'an Temple for long, so she comforted Yang Jinzhi for a while, and waited for Yang Jinzhi to fall asleep before Zhao Wuyou left Yun'an Temple to return to the capital.The people from Wucheng Bingmasi are waiting outside the temple, and now no one dares to leave easily, lest there will be another incident, and no one will be able to pay the responsibility at that time.

What happened to Zhao Wuyou, the soldiers of the five cities and the Dongchang were dispatched, so when they returned to the capital, they should go to the palace to explain to the emperor.Otherwise, if the emperor blames him and mobilizes troops without authorization, no one will be able to afford it.

Wang Jie stepped forward, "Master Zhao."

"In any case, we must find out who is in charge of all this." Zhao Wuyou narrowed his eyes and coughed a few times, "I'm afraid this matter will not end so easily."

"What does your lord mean, they will continue to deal with you?" Wang Jie gasped, "It's better to send a letter to the prime minister, and let the prime minister make a decision. Otherwise, if something happens to your lord, how should the subordinates deal with you?" Xiangye explain?"

Zhao Wuyou smiled lightly, "It's okay, I have my own opinion on this matter, you just check what you should check, and I will take care of the rest."

"Yes!" Wang Jie nodded, "We have captured a few survivors, and we can ask for a proper confession at that time."

"Don't kill me, I'm still useful." Zhao Wuyou stepped into the carriage.

Wang Jie accompanied him at every step.

Inside the carriage, Zhao Wuyou looked at the injuries on the back of his hands, and there were still some bruises and thorns scratches on his body.It's just that what surprised Zhao Wuyou was that there was really miasma in the woods, but he—why was he safe and sound?

It is true that Mu Baili was also poisoned, but his inner strength can force the poison out in the shortest time.

But she doesn't know a little bit of martial arts, so Zhao Wuyou doesn't think it's a fluke.

Could it be that the blue mark can avoid poison?

This thing is so powerful, is it a blessing or a curse?will there be any side-effects?Is my congenital deficiency also related to this thing?Zhao Wuyou felt a pain in his head, no matter how much he thought about these things, he couldn't figure out why, but his mother kept her mouth shut and didn't say a word.

When I entered the palace and saw the emperor, it happened that Xia Donglou was playing chess with the emperor in the imperial study.With Xia Donglou present, Zhao Wuyou could only give a rough outline of what happened.

"The Promise Palace?" The emperor stroked his little mustache, and looked at Zhao Wuyou with a puzzled expression, "What is this thing? Why have I never heard of it? These people are so daring to attack my important ministers." , damn it!"

Zhao Wuyou knelt down on the ground, "If Commander Wang and the people from Dongchang hadn't arrived in time, I'm afraid it would have been a disaster."

Xia Donglou held the chess piece, looked at Zhao Wuyou and sneered twice, "Your Majesty, according to this old minister, Mr. Zhao is a man of great fortune, and he is blessed with the Emperor's grace, so he must be blessed by heaven. Si went out of the city without the emperor's order, just like the Dongchang gang, it's becoming more and more unruly."

"Get up!" The emperor frowned, "It's best that Aiqing is fine." Saying that, he looked at Xia Donglou meaningfully.

Xia Donglou's face still had that look of disdain.

Zhao Wuyou was respectful, bowed and stepped aside, "It is thanks to the emperor's protection that I can come back. I hope that the emperor will not blame Wucheng Bingmasi and Dongchang. This incident is really caused by my lack of thoughtfulness." .”

The emperor was a little proud, "Don't worry, I'm here, no matter what kind of Wuji Palace he is, I will eradicate them one by one. This matter will be handed over to Wucheng Bingmasi, and the Wuji Palace must be given to me. Ministers who dare to move me , I will divide them into five horses."

"Your Majesty, why don't you leave this matter to the old minister!" Xia Donglou said, "The soldiers and horses of the five cities have to protect the capital well, so as not to mobilize the army because of such a trivial matter. The old minister can do it for these bastards."

"So—" the emperor looked at Xia Donglou, then turned to look at Zhao Wuyou, "What does Master Zhao think?"

"Weichen—I have no objection, thank you, Lord Guo." When Zhao Wuyou said this, he deliberately paused.

Xia Donglou snorted, "It's just a Wuji Palace. Your Majesty, the most unreliable thing is to catch wind and shadow. Mr. Zhao said it was Wuji Palace today, but tomorrow it may be Wuji Palace. Mr. Zhao, don't you think so?" Laughed twice, "The emperor's chess skills are superb, and the old minister bows down."

Zhao Wuyou took a deep breath, closed his eyes and lowered his eyes in a very respectful manner, "What the Duke of the country said is very true, it's because the humble minister didn't think carefully. The emperor takes care of everything every day, and the humble minister still bothers the emperor with these unspeakable things. Damn it!" After saying that, he knelt down on the ground, bowing his head and not daring to say more.

Compared to Xia Donglou's arrogance and arrogance, Zhao Wuyou was extremely humble and gentle.

The more she behaved like this, the more Xia Donglou looked down on her, and the more he felt that literati were hypocritical.

But the emperor likes it, the self-willed emperor likes to echo and compliment.As the saying goes, only when softness is used to overcome rigidity can rigidity and softness be combined.

The emperor put down the chess piece, with a bit of resentment, "I can't play anymore."

Xia Donglou stood up and saluted.

"Duke Xia, let's go back first! I have some things to ask Mr. Zhao carefully!" The emperor got up and walked out.

"Your Majesty?" Xia Donglou was taken aback.

The emperor narrowed his eyes to look at him, Xia Donglou's words came to his lips, he took a final look at Zhao Wuyou, and could only salute and leave.

"My minister is panicked." She had already guessed who Zhao Wuyou was, and the emperor's thoughts.It's just that the emperor doesn't say anything, even if you know it, you have to pretend you don't know it.

After all, the emperor should be the "smartest" person in the world.

The emperor walked in front, and Zhao Wuyou followed behind.

"I want you to say something, does the Wuji Palace really exist? Or is the Wuji Palace just fabricated by Mr. Zhao as an excuse to fear the Duke's Mansion?" The emperor's straightforwardness made Zhao Wuyou look terrified.

Immediately bowing and bowing, Zhao Wuyou hastily said, "I dare not lie to the Emperor, the Wuji Palace does exist. It's just that this matter may not be related to the Duke's Mansion, I hope the Emperor will find out."

"How do you know?" The Zhao family and the Xia family are in the same boat, although the emperor doesn't ask about the government, he is not blind.It was he himself who pursued the balance of the court and deliberately made the two sides evenly matched. The emperor knew the pros and cons of this.

Zhao Wuyou respectfully said, "Your Majesty, the Duke of the State is loyal to the imperial court. He is an official in the same court as a humble minister, and they all serve the Emperor. Even if there are sometimes disagreements in handling the court affairs, it is just a different perspective on issues. But this does not hinder the Duke's loyalty to the imperial court. It is impossible for him to attack the humble minister, and the humble minister dares to promise the emperor with the head of Xiang Shang."

"He put the knife on your neck time and time again, how dare you guarantee it with your head?" The emperor sneered twice, "Stupid! Stupid! The benevolence of a woman!"

Zhao Wuyou sighed softly, "Your Majesty, I have no ambitions at all. I only hope that the sea and rivers will be clean and the world will be peaceful. I am a civil servant, and I don't understand the grandeur of the Duke of the Kingdom. In some aspects, it is really lacking, not as good as the Duke of the Kingdom. Rich experience." She began to cough, and her face turned green and pale, "I have a thin body, and I am willing to serve the emperor and the court, and I will die after I die."

The emperor let out a long breath, "You are good at everything, but you don't know how to fight for yourself, and you just give in. This time you almost lost your life, and - how do you ask me to help you vent your anger?" Just now Zhao Wuyou How could the emperor not notice the hesitation.

"I am satisfied with the emperor's kindness." Zhao Wuyou always kept his head bowed.

"That's all! Xia Donglou has taken over this matter, so let him go! Next time, I will never forgive you lightly." The emperor said in a low tone, "Go back and rest, I see that your face is getting worse and worse. It's gone. The prime minister hasn't returned, so you can't do anything else, after all, the old prime minister is just you."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Zhao Wuyou covered his lips and coughed continuously.

The emperor left with a flick of his sleeves, and the eunuch Xiao Dezi hurried to catch up.

After walking a certain distance, the emperor stopped in his tracks, looked back thoughtfully at Zhao Wuyou's leaving back, "Xiao Dezi, do you think this matter has anything to do with the Duke's Mansion?"

Xiao Dezi was terrified, "If you go back to the emperor, the servant dare not speak nonsense. It's just that Mr. Zhao has been wronged like this, and he still speaks kindly for the Duke, the servant is a little sad to see it."

"Xia Donglou, Xia Donglou, you'd better not play tricks with me!" the emperor said to himself, but he was a little certain in his heart that this matter probably had something to do with the Duke's Mansion.He had never heard of the Wuji Palace, and after this incident, Zhao Wuyou acted so lightly on the Wuji Palace, as if he didn't want to make a big deal out of it.It can be seen from this that Zhao Wuyou knew very well in his heart who was behind the scenes to put him to death.

The only one who can make Zhao Wuyou so taboo is the Duke's Mansion.

"Your Majesty?" Xiao Dezi said, "Master Zhao's health is not good, this time I'm afraid it hurt his vitality. This servant sees that Mr. Zhao is still wounded, and he feels depressed in his heart. If something happens, I'm afraid it's not very good."

"Order to go down, pick a few good things and send them to Zhao Wuyou, so I can calm him down." The emperor stepped up and left, "Go to Chuxiu Palace."

It should be known that Fu Meiren in Chuxiu Palace is currently in the king's favor.
