Chapter 98 The Secret in the Well
Mu Baili glanced at her indifferently, and immediately rode away.
Since he didn't say anything, Zhao Wuyou didn't bother anymore.With such a big Buddha by her side, what should she worry about?As if she had come back from under the cliff, she had an indescribable trust in him.
Ride the horse and catch up, it is not suitable to stay here for a long time.
It wasn't until Zhao Wuyou and Mu Baili left that the waiter quietly walked out the back door.
Leaning against the wall outside the back door was a man wearing a bamboo hat.
"They're too careful, there's nothing they can do." The waiter was a little embarrassed, "Master, then this money..."
The man casually threw a money bag to him, "Where's the man?"
"Just left!" The waiter happily took the silver and held the money bag in his hand.
Hearing this, the man immediately got on his horse and rode away without saying a word.
The shop clerk looked at the silver taels in the purse, and secretly said, "What a weirdo." Earlier, he asked him to lure the white-faced scholar to see a doctor, and seeing how he looked now, he probably went after them.
What kind of grievance is it that makes him pursue him so hard.
Look at that white-faced scholar, he has no strength to restrain a chicken, and he is still a sick child. He probably won't offend anyone, right?But the one next to the white-faced scholar is really scary.Just one look in his eyes made one's hair stand on end.
Speed up the horse, and the horse's back bumps.
Knowing that someone was following behind him, Zhao Wuyou didn't dare to stop easily.
"Do you know who is following us?" Zhao Wuyou asked, the wind made her cough continuously.
Mu Baili turned to look at her, "If you know what, so what if you don't know? Can you turn back and start killing?"
Obviously unrealistic!
She was still coughing, and her complexion turned red and white.
Suddenly, Mu Baili rode his horse close, and at the next moment, he leaned over sharply and clasped her shoulder blades with one hand.It was too late to say it, but she was actually mentioned by him, and she was thrown behind him.
In the haze, she heard Mu Baili's magnetic voice, "Hold tight."
She was stunned for a moment, even Suxi was also stunned.
On the other hand, Lu Guoan remained expressionless, and he didn't seem to find it strange.
With Mu Baili blocking the wind, she didn't feel so uncomfortable.There is no need to be brave at this time, since someone is willing to shelter her from the wind and rain, it is naturally a wish.With Mu Baili standing in front of him, the wind passed through his temples, blocking the coldness.
She hugged his muscular waist, and could feel his warmth, bit by bit, through her clothes, into her body, hair and skin.It's really not easy for a bloodthirsty person without a trace of blood on his body.
He lowered his eyebrows and glanced at the hand on his waist. It was the first time that this white and slender catkin was hugging his waist like this.Two men and women, hugging each other like this, galloping their horses, but they didn't seem to feel any disobedience.
Unconsciously, Mu Baili pulled his lips.
Some things are inexplicable, beyond my expectation, but——it is a matter of course in life.
Little did they know that on the official road far away from the capital, a thrilling, premeditated interception came as scheduled.The officers and soldiers fought against the people from Wuji Palace, the sound of blades colliding, accompanied by the slaughter of blood.
People from Wuji Palace quickly surrounded the carriage, but just as the curtain was lifted, there was a violent explosion.In an instant, blood rained, and broken limbs and arms were all over the ground. The scene was so tragic.
"There's no one in the car!" The crowd shouted loudly.
In the distance, Hanyin reined in his horse, and when he heard the cry, he immediately turned his horse's head and galloped away.There was no one in the car, which meant that Mu Baili and Zhao Wuyou were not among them at all. The two of them parted ways with the main force long ago and headed for Yunhua State in two ways.
He led the decree to go out of Beijing, but was attacked halfway, and this matter was quickly reported back to the capital.
In the palace, the emperor was naturally furious.This Wuji Palace is really audacious, and now even the imperial court doesn't pay attention to it.With one order, the emperor ordered the suppression without delay.
Lotus Palace.
Yun Xi stepped forward quickly, "Ma'am, something happened."
Fu Yuying was taken aback, "Why are you so flustered?"
Letting out a long breath, Yun Xi bowed his head, "The officers and soldiers were intercepted, and it was said that Wuji Palace did it."
"What about your son?" Fu Yuying asked hurriedly.
"Young master has a clever plan, and he avoided it a long time ago. He is not in the car." Yun Xi said, "This is all we can know now."
"The Promise Palace?" Fu Yuying frowned, and walked slowly to the window, looking at the rainy outside, "I heard the emperor mentioned it once earlier, saying that it was a gangster organization who had the audacity to come to the palace to steal. Now, how can even the officers and soldiers Don't let it go? I'm afraid, it's not some Jianghu organization!"
Yun Xi shook his head, "This is your son's business, I don't dare to inquire about it in a humble position."
Fu Yuying nodded, "It's about time for it to rain today."
"Yes!" Yun Xi bowed his head, "Get someone to act immediately."
Yun Xi retreated, and the surroundings became quiet again.Fu Yuying stroked her belly and looked up at the drizzle outside the window.
Qiu Xian carefully put the shawl on her body, "Master, be careful of the cold weather."
Bowing her head and smiling, Fu Yuying came back to her senses, "Qiu Xian, do you think there is retribution in this world?"
"Master thinks there is, so it must be!" Qiu Xian smiled.
Fu Yuying turned to look at her, "Do you believe it?"
"I don't believe it." Qiu Xian pursed her lips.
"Why don't you believe me?" Fu Yuying frowned.
Qiu Xian let out a long breath, "If there is really retribution, there would be no grievances in this world long ago. Those people with blood on their hands, shouldn't they go to the Underworld to report early? The slaves don't believe in retribution, and the slaves only believe in the son. .”
"Why are you following the young master?" Fu Yuying asked.
Qiu Xian didn't speak, she saluted and turned to leave.
Fu Yuying stared fixedly at Qiu Xian's leaving back, feeling slightly ill.In Qiu Xian, there seems to be some secrets that cannot be understood by outsiders.It's Qiu Xian and Zhao Wuyou's secret!
Tonight, the emperor went to Furong Palace, where Hu Jieyu lived.
In this palace, there is only one emperor, and the favor can only be given to one person.In fact, Fu Yuying doesn't like this kind of uniform rain and dew. Once upon a time, the expectations of her youth have become the wishful thinking of today.
Who doesn't like being a couple for the rest of their lives, when they meet the man they love, and from then on, their white hair and brows match each other, and they fly together.
But now?
No matter what you think, you don't have a choice.
With a sigh, Lianhua Palace seemed a little cold.
In the middle of the night, the rain stopped, but the whole palace was boiling.
A floating corpse was found in a well.
"It rained yesterday, and the water in the well was soaring. When the servants came to fetch the water, they only felt a fishy smell. Who knew that when the bucket was thrown down, a dead body was picked up." The eunuch on duty was terrified and shivered.
It was not a big deal when something like this happened in the palace.Isn't it just that a eunuch died, just tidy up and tidy up.The commander of the imperial forest army glanced at the dead body, and the eunuch Bingbi, the supervisor of ceremonies, frowned slightly, "Which palace is this eunuch? Do you know anyone?"
If you recognize who it is, your household registration will be cancelled.
If you can't recognize it, you can only throw it in the mass grave.
However, someone recognized it, "This seems to be Eunuch Liu from Yongxiang!"
Seeing this, everyone was startled, and immediately asked people to call the servants of Yongxiang to identify them.Sure enough, Eunuch Liu disappeared earlier and has not been found. It turned out that he was killed in a well.
Speaking of Eunuch Liu, everyone thought of another person.
That is Xia Zhaoyi who Eunuch Liu served!The one from Danyang Palace!
Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, a little dumbfounded for a while.
"There seems to be something else in here." A soldier of the imperial forest leaned on the edge of the well and looked into it carefully, vaguely feeling that there was something vague inside.
After some salvage, everyone was startled.
With this salvage, things were magnified.
Including Eunuch Liu, there were three corpses in total, all of which were beaten to death and pushed into the well.The person at the bottom was still tied with some rocks, who knew that the rope was eroded by water, the well water surged yesterday, and the body floated up.
Three lives, and all three lives came from Yongxiang.It's a big deal, and it's spread to ten and ten to hundreds.Xia Qiongzhi was grounded in Yongxiang earlier and suffered all kinds of humiliation, but now the people who humiliated her are staying in the well, and they know the key to this without even thinking about it.
People are dead, and some unclear things can no longer be cleared up.
Xia Qiongzhi felt wronged, she clearly didn't kill anyone, and when she came out, she still performed this good show properly, how could it suddenly become like this?The lavish praise earlier has become a play on the spot, a hypocrisy.
After everyone thought she had changed her ways and turned to good, she was suddenly beaten back to her original form.
The emperor's face was ashen, and he was sitting in the main hall of Furong Palace, listening to the report from the people below with cold eyes.The commander of the imperial forest army and the eunuch Bingbi, the supervisor of ceremonies, described the process of discovering the corpse and the cause of death of the deceased one by one.
"It's unreasonable!" The emperor jumped up, and the servants fell to their knees.
Xiao Dezi hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, calm down! Your Majesty, calm down!"
Because the emperor was angry, Hu Qingfang naturally knelt down, "The emperor calms down, the matter has come to this point, there is nothing to do. People cannot be resurrected after death, and this matter can only be death without proof."
When he heard that there was no proof of death, the emperor became even more angry, "Go and bring that bitch to me!"
Xiao Dezi saluted, "Your slave will lead the order."
After going out, Xiao Dezi was covered in cold sweat.The emperor lost the prescription, and the resentment in his heart hadn't subsided yet, Xia Zhaoyi was in trouble and committed this crime.The other side of Yunhua State has not yet been confirmed, and Wuji Palace intercepted and killed him halfway. I am afraid that the emperor's anger will be vented on Xia Zhaoyi.
Taking a deep breath, Xiao Dezi hurriedly headed towards Danyang Palace.
Xia Lan quickly arrived at Danyang Palace, and when she learned that it was Yongxiang Liu Gonggong who died, Xia Lan knew that the disaster was serious.
"Sister, something happened." Xia Lan panted, "You should be mentally prepared."
Xia Qiongzhi raised her eyebrows suddenly, staring fixedly at Xia Lan in front of her, "I didn't kill anyone."
"It's useless for me to believe in you. The emperor must believe in you." Xia Lan took a deep breath, "If the emperor blames me, I hope my sister will not be stubborn. The emperor is suspicious by nature, so my sister must not be head-on. I have already asked Bichun to go I'm looking for the empress, I think the empress will help you save your life for the sake of the child in my sister's womb."
Shaking her body, Xia Qiongzhi sat down on the stool, her face pale.
"Sister, go back!" Xia Qiongzhi looked dull, "Just pretend that you have never been here before, and don't be troubled by me. We two sisters, one of us must survive outside. If someone catches them all, then our Duke's Mansion will Our Xia Family is really over."
Xia Lan stared fixedly at Xia Qiongzhi, the usually perverse and ruthless woman, seemed to have exhausted her edge at this moment, dimming all sharpness.
"Sister?" Xia Lan narrowed her eyes.
"You've been smart since you were young, so you should understand what I mean. You know better than anyone else what I'm facing right now." Xia Qiongzhi sighed and got up slowly, "Let's go!"
Xia Lan pursed her lips and saluted, "Sister, take care."
"Sister, did you ever hate me?" Xia Qiongzhi asked.
Xia Lan smiled, "What did my sister say, my sister and I are siblings, how could there be hatred?"
"I was the one who let my father send you into the palace, and I was the one who stirred you into this darkness." Xia Qiongzhi smiled coldly, "What you hoped for is to be a couple for the rest of your life, and I made you lose all of this. "
"Sister, stop talking." Xia Lan walked away.
Xia Qiongzhi smiled awkwardly, "I'm afraid I won't be able to get out of the limbo again, this time must be the last time I see you."
Xia Lan paused, his eyes darkened, "As long as you are alive, there is hope. Why do you need to despair? Besides, you still have the emperor's flesh and blood in your belly. As long as my sister can persevere, there is always a way out."
After saying that, she never looked back, and walked out of Danyang Palace.
Xia Qiongzhi looked around, the Danyang Palace should be vacant again.
When Xiao Dezi came to the door, Xia Qiongzhi seemed to have been prepared, and followed Xiao Dezi without arguing.Huandong was supporting Xia Qiongzhi, and she could clearly feel the trembling and weakness from Xia Qiongzhi.
All the tenacity is just the last pride at work.
Looking up at the gate of Furong Palace, Xia Qiongzhi took a deep breath and walked in slowly.
Kneeling in front of the emperor respectfully, Xia Qiongzhi's face was ashen.When others have set the game for you, you have no possibility of struggling.There is no proof of death, that is their identification of her.
"I didn't expect you to be such a ruthless person. It was I who asked you to go to Yongxiang to reflect on your mistakes. It was I who made you suffer there. You rewarded them openly, but secretly, secretly Poisonous hands. You are such a capricious and sinister villain, what else can you say at this moment?" The emperor said coldly.
Xia Qiongzhi knelt there with a calm expression, "Since the emperor has determined that the concubine is such a sinister villain, is there any need for the concubine to explain? If the concubine argues for herself, does the emperor think that the concubine is just making excuses?" ? If so, the concubine has nothing to say, let the emperor punish her."
After speaking, Hu Qingfang's complexion also changed a little.
The emperor was taken aback, and then angrily reprimanded, "Presumptuous! Are you saying that I have slandered you? The evidence is solid, how can you make excuses? I am so blind that I would let you out to kill people."
Xia Qiongzhi smiled coldly, her extremely beautiful face showed a trace of coldness, "If the concubine denies it, will the emperor want to kill the concubine unjustly?"
"You!" The emperor jumped up, "You bitch!"
"The concubine asked herself that she had never done it before. These people died in the well. Why did the emperor think it was the concubine's hands? In the emperor's heart, is the concubine so cruel and merciless? Your majesty, the concubine serves you and is your pillow." People from the side. Don't you know what kind of temperament a concubine is?" Xia Qiongzhi had tears in her eyes, "Although concubines are willful, concubines will not kill people."
The emperor thought about it, and it seemed to make sense.
Hu Qingfang stepped forward and helped the emperor to sit down, "Your Majesty, this happened suddenly, let someone investigate it!" She glanced at Xia Qiongzhi, "Look, this Xia Zhaoyi is pregnant, how can..."
Not to mention that the pregnancy is fine, but when it comes to pregnancy, the emperor is furious, "You can do anything wrong just because you are pregnant? Fu Jieyu is also pregnant. Take a look at others, keep yourself safe, and be careful about raising your baby. But you Woolen cloth?"
Xia Qiongzhi tensed up, "The concubine didn't kill anyone."
"You still dare to quibble!" It is actually the most unwise to argue with the emperor.Especially the self-proclaimed intelligent emperor, who is always headstrong, how could he tolerate your arguments.Your so-called injustice and innocence are slapping the emperor in the face.
Because he is the emperor, he thinks you did this, so you have to admit it.
But you say you don't admit it, the emperor feels that there is no place to put his face, and you dare to question the emperor's conclusion, aren't you asking for trouble?
"Your Majesty, calm down!" Xiao Dezi bowed and saluted, and everyone below followed him and shouted, "Your Majesty, calm down."
But when it comes to this, how can the emperor appease his anger?
The Duke's Mansion has fallen and has been deprived of his status, no matter how beautiful Xia Qiongzhi looks, it doesn't help.Because there is never a shortage of beautiful women in the palace, how can the king's love last long.
So at this time, no one will help Xia Qiongzhi.
Everyone pushes the wall down, this principle is the simplest.
"If the emperor has evidence to prove that the concubine was killed, the concubine is willing to die." Xia Qiongzhi's character is doomed that she cannot be subdued.But sometimes refusing to give in is just a helpless move. If you want to live a long time, you have to persevere.
The emperor was furious, "Come here, drag this bitch down to me, put him in the cold palace and never come out again."
"Hold on, Your Majesty!" The voice of Empress Li Shi came from outside.
The queen's breathing was a little short, presumably she came here in a hurry.After saluting to the emperor, everyone stepped aside silently.The queen took a step forward, her face darkened, "Your Majesty, you must think clearly, Xia Zhaoyi still has the Emperor's flesh and blood in his belly. The heirs in the palace are few, and I hope that the Emperor will think twice for the sake of the country and the country for thousands of years."
The emperor paused. Most of the princesses under his knees were indeed weak.But if he didn't punish Xia Zhaoyi who talked back today, he would have nowhere to put his face.After thinking about it, it seems that I can't have the best of both worlds.
He thought, if his Zhao Aiqing was here, he might be able to give him a good idea.
Seeing that the emperor was silent, the queen sighed softly, "Your Majesty, Xia Zhaoyi was at fault, that was her fault, but the heir was not at fault. How could the emperor have the heart to let his heir live in the cold palace? What is the cold palace, the emperor should It is very clear that if the emperor's heir is damaged, I am afraid that the emperor will regret it."
The emperor looked pale and said nothing.
Hu Qingfang stepped forward to salute the empress, "Empress, the emperor is really in a difficult situation, and I hope your empress can find a compromise."
Hearing this, the emperor looked up at the queen, as if acquiescing to Hu Qingfang's statement.
This is naturally the result that the queen likes to see, and she immediately smiled, "Actually, the emperor doesn't have to worry about it. Xia Zhaoyi made a mistake, the emperor was furious, and he should be sent to the cold palace. It's just that the cold palace can't be comprehensive. Why don't the emperor temporarily imprison Xia Zhaoyi in Kunming?" The Palace of Ning is under the care of the courtiers and concubines. It will not be too late to deal with it after the birth of the emperor's heir. What does the emperor think?"
Confinement to Kunning Palace?
Hu Qingfang made some calculations in her mind, but she somewhat understood what the empress meant.
The emperor is not a fool, the empress has not had children for a long time, and has no children under her knees.It's not bad to think so!Anyway, he now hates a vicious woman like Xia Zhaoyi, but he also cares about the child in her belly.Now she is confined in the Kunning Palace, under the care of the empress. In the future, no matter whether she gives birth to a prince or a princess, she can be fostered under the empress' knees in a legitimate manner.
The master of the harem has no children, and will eventually be laughed at.
Thinking of this, the emperor stood up, "Then do as the queen wishes!"
"Your Majesty, the concubine really didn't kill anyone!" Xia Qiongzhi's eyes were burning.
The emperor snorted coldly and walked away.
Waiting for the emperor to leave, everyone also retreated.With tears in his eyes, Huandong picked up Xia Qiongzhi, Xia Qiongzhi's face was ashen, and her whole body seemed to be pulled away.Her feet were a little frivolous, and her body was a little shaky.
Hu Qingfang stood there, watching Xia Qiongzhi follow the queen to leave.
The servant Zhishu stepped forward, "Your Majesty, doesn't the Emperor know what the Empress Dowager means?"
"So what if you know?" Hu Qingfang smiled coolly, "The Queen's mother is so beautiful in the world, she should have a child."
Zhishu nodded, "That's true, but letting the tiger go back to the mountain is bound to be a disaster."
"Some people know better than us the truth of killing a snake and getting hurt." Hu Qingfang's eyes darkened, "A person who could have buried this game the day Xia Qiongzhi came out is not an ordinary person. I must have expected that the empress would come forward. I guess that person just wants Xia Qiongzhi's life!"
"But why is the emperor so angry?" Zhishu was puzzled, "It's not like no one died in this palace."
"If Xia Qiongzhi killed someone, wouldn't it be disrespectful to the emperor? The emperor let her out. Where is the emperor's face now? Besides, I heard from my father that these days, the manor at the Duke's mansion has been I'm singing praises, talking about the kindness of the late emperor. The excerpts have been sent to the imperial court, and the emperor must be unhappy." Hu Qingfang made a decision.
Zhishu smiled, "The emperor hates being manipulated the most."
"So, when Xia Qiongzhi's accident happened, the emperor put the Duke's government's account on her. Whoever made Xia Qiongzhi herself unlucky, it happened that at this time, she touched the emperor's brow. Fortunately, the emperor will sooner or later I was thinking about restoring the status of the Duke’s Mansion before, but now I have no chance.” Hu Qingfang thought for a while, “The father and son of the Zhao family are not in the capital now, who has such a great ability to announce a Where's the game?"
Zhishu shook his head, "It must not be an ordinary person."
Hu Qingfang nodded, "It's more than unusual, it's simply too dangerous."
The three corpses revoked all the emperor's goodwill towards the Duke's Mansion, and even messed up the restoration of the Duke's Mansion, which was almost on the agenda.
"Could it be the emperor?" Zhishu was taken aback.
Hu Qingfang frowned, "It was the queen who let Xia Qiongzhi out that day, is she still the one now?" If it was really the queen, then this thought would be too scary.Directed and acted by himself, just for the child in Xia Qiongzhi's belly.
One must know that in this way, Xia Qiongzhi would never have the chance to stand up in the palace, and it would no longer be possible for a mother to be more expensive than a child.And a child whose biological mother has no morals and rights will not be able to leave the queen in the future, and it will be easier for the queen to control Xia Qiongzhi's mother and child.
After this incident, Xia Qiongzhi must be grateful to the queen.
Thinking about it this way, it seems that the queen really did it.
The outcome of the matter seemed to be within Fu Yuying's expectations.Hearing Yun Xi and Qiu Xian's report, she just smiled faintly, "After all, no one can compare to your young master's intelligence, even if he is not in the deep palace, the layout can still be carried out in an orderly manner, which is really impressive. admire."
Qiu Xian smiled, "It's also thanks to the master's arrangement."
"Heaven is going to destroy her Xia family, and also live in the country's government, and she has the idea of resetting it." Fu Yuying sighed softly.
Since Zhao Wuyou managed to get the emperor to remove your position as Duke, how could he let you come back so easily.But now this matter, no one would think that it has something to do with Zhao Wuyou.
Zhao Wuyou went to Yunhua State to serve the emperor. Where can he find such a loyal minister and good general?So no matter who the suspect was, no one would suspect a loyal minister like Zhao Wuyou.
But the queen is out of luck, even the emperor will think about the biggest beneficiary of this incident.
Xia Qiongzhi has a vicious mind, so why not the queen?
But looking at the harem, to make the harem so peaceful, the new queen has to do something.The emperor didn't want to bother, so he just turned a blind eye.Doesn't the queen want a child?Give it to her!
As long as he can live in peace, it will not delay the emperor's great cause of cultivating immortals.
Yun Xi nodded, "Now that Xia Zhaoyi has been abolished, she is imprisoned in the Kunning Palace without a name or status. The emperor also decreed that he will never step out of the Kunning Palace. It is estimated that this time, the emperor has also made a real move."
"The emperor is afraid that someone in the harem will follow suit, and he is even more afraid of side effects. The emperor has doubts, but the queen is a queen after all. Even if everyone in the world doubts her, the emperor has to maintain the face of the royal family. The queen has no children. It is inevitable that there will be troubles in the long run, and if there is a disturbance in the future because of the establishment of the crown prince, the emperor will also have a headache." Fu Yuying stroked her belly.
"If Xia Qiongzhi gave birth to a son, it is estimated that the Empress—" Qiu Xian frowned.
Fu Yuying sighed softly, "Whether it's a son or a daughter, what's the use of losing favor?"
In the harem, one cannot live without grace.As long as there is grace, are you afraid that you will not have the opportunity to have children?While mothers are more expensive than their sons, there are also reasons why sons are more expensive than their mothers.
"I don't know your son, how is it now?" Fu Yuying frowned.
I heard that I was stopped on the road, and I don't know what will happen.If Zhao Wuyou died, then Fu Yuying would be in a difficult situation in this palace.After all, Zhao Wuyou's methods are indispensable for her to be able to enter the palace and gain the favor.
Qiu Xian and Yun Xi looked at each other and remained silent.
what can i do
Zhao Wuyou and Mu Baili were not in the car, nor did they go with the army, so those people from Wuji Palace were caught in the air.However, when Ying Falcon sent the news to Lu Guoan, Lu Guoan was still stunned, "The people in Wuji Palace, knowing that Dongchang is accompanying them, why did they intercept and kill them halfway?"
Mu Baili took the letter, glanced at it, and threw it to Zhao Wuyou, "What does Lord Zhao think?"
Hearing this, Zhao Wuyou smiled coldly, "The Governor would not think that the people of Wuji Palace were afraid that I would go far away to Yunhua State and catch the plague and die suddenly, so they hurriedly hijacked me halfway to save their lives. life?"
"The Promise Palace is not opened by your family." Mu Baili glanced at her, and the girl's words became more and more eccentric.As a eunuch, he didn't think so yet, but she has such an accent, which is really a bit embarrassing.
"Maybe, it was opened by my family?" Zhao Wuyou got up, "Hasn't the governor ever doubted what the existence of the Promise Palace is for?"
"For what?" Mu Baili asked.
Sitting under the tree, Zhao Wuyou rubbed his sore arms, "Good and evil have never coexisted since ancient times, but if there is no evil, how can there be righteousness? If there is no righteousness, how can there be evil? Good and evil cannot coexist but are interdependent. To make justice last forever, we must let the evil way go on for a long time. The pursuit of the Promise Palace may be my own trick. What does the governor think?"
"It's the first time I've heard Mr. Zhao's remarks." Mu Baili stared at her with slightly troubled eyes.
Everyone knows that good and evil cannot coexist, but no one has thought about it. If there is no righteousness, how can there be evil?If there is no evil, what is the use of righteousness?
It seems that there are always two sides to things.
Just like the Zhao Wuyou in front of him, who looks sick, but is actually a viper that eats people without spitting out bones.
Suxi took the water bag and handed it to Zhao Wuyou, Zhao Wuyou took the medicine, and the shortness of breath gradually calmed down.Turning his head to look at Mu Baili, his lips curled into a cold smile. There are so many things the Lord has never heard of. "
"Really?" Mu Baili looked at her plain complexion, frowning slightly.
Zhao Wuyou's body was so weak that he had to get off his horse to rest every once in a while.This section of the journey was already the second time she had taken medicine.Even though he was the one who took her, after all, there were constant bumps.
There is a village not far ahead, and looking at the weather, it is time to find a family to rest.
"Master?" Lu Guoan frowned.
"Let's explore the way!" Mu Baili said.
"Yes!" Lu Guoan immediately led the people away.
After Lu Guoan left, Mu Baili walked up to Zhao Wuyou unhurriedly.
Zhao Wuyou looked very tired, leaning against the tree trunk powerlessly, his dying appearance was really unbearable.Now knowing that she is a woman, the feeling in my heart is even more different.
"Master Zhao seems to die at any moment." Mu Baili squatted down.
Zhao Wuyou closed his eyes and didn't bother to look at him, "I ask Lord Hong Fu, I'm afraid it won't be so easy to die."
"That would be the best." Mu Baili looked around, "This place is too cloudy."
Hearing this, Zhao Wuyou suddenly laughed, tried his best to sit up and looked at him, with a sneer in his eyes, "What did the governor say? Too dark?"
"What are you laughing at?" Mu Baili frowned.
Zhao Wuyou said, "As the governor, I am full of murderous intent and blood on my hands. Naturally, gods and ghosts are not taboo. Why, the governor also believes in ghosts in the world? Otherwise, why do you feel that this place is so dark?"
Mu Baili got up, "You are a scholar with no use, I am afraid that you will be dragged to the underworld by ghosts."
"Don't worry, Lord Governor. They don't like my sickly body. It's just that a beautiful face like Lord Governor will definitely attract people's mouth. At that time, Lord Governor, be careful. Don't accidentally become someone else's ghost." Son-in-law." Zhao Wuyou thought for a while, "I don't know if these lonely ghosts like men who are a little less."
Hearing this, Mu Baili squinted at her, "Thank you, Mr. Zhao, for your kindness."
"Don't dare!" Zhao Wuyou took a deep breath and slowly stood up.
Turning his head to look, his body froze slightly.Only then did she understand what Mu Baili meant by these words, so...
(End of this chapter)
Mu Baili glanced at her indifferently, and immediately rode away.
Since he didn't say anything, Zhao Wuyou didn't bother anymore.With such a big Buddha by her side, what should she worry about?As if she had come back from under the cliff, she had an indescribable trust in him.
Ride the horse and catch up, it is not suitable to stay here for a long time.
It wasn't until Zhao Wuyou and Mu Baili left that the waiter quietly walked out the back door.
Leaning against the wall outside the back door was a man wearing a bamboo hat.
"They're too careful, there's nothing they can do." The waiter was a little embarrassed, "Master, then this money..."
The man casually threw a money bag to him, "Where's the man?"
"Just left!" The waiter happily took the silver and held the money bag in his hand.
Hearing this, the man immediately got on his horse and rode away without saying a word.
The shop clerk looked at the silver taels in the purse, and secretly said, "What a weirdo." Earlier, he asked him to lure the white-faced scholar to see a doctor, and seeing how he looked now, he probably went after them.
What kind of grievance is it that makes him pursue him so hard.
Look at that white-faced scholar, he has no strength to restrain a chicken, and he is still a sick child. He probably won't offend anyone, right?But the one next to the white-faced scholar is really scary.Just one look in his eyes made one's hair stand on end.
Speed up the horse, and the horse's back bumps.
Knowing that someone was following behind him, Zhao Wuyou didn't dare to stop easily.
"Do you know who is following us?" Zhao Wuyou asked, the wind made her cough continuously.
Mu Baili turned to look at her, "If you know what, so what if you don't know? Can you turn back and start killing?"
Obviously unrealistic!
She was still coughing, and her complexion turned red and white.
Suddenly, Mu Baili rode his horse close, and at the next moment, he leaned over sharply and clasped her shoulder blades with one hand.It was too late to say it, but she was actually mentioned by him, and she was thrown behind him.
In the haze, she heard Mu Baili's magnetic voice, "Hold tight."
She was stunned for a moment, even Suxi was also stunned.
On the other hand, Lu Guoan remained expressionless, and he didn't seem to find it strange.
With Mu Baili blocking the wind, she didn't feel so uncomfortable.There is no need to be brave at this time, since someone is willing to shelter her from the wind and rain, it is naturally a wish.With Mu Baili standing in front of him, the wind passed through his temples, blocking the coldness.
She hugged his muscular waist, and could feel his warmth, bit by bit, through her clothes, into her body, hair and skin.It's really not easy for a bloodthirsty person without a trace of blood on his body.
He lowered his eyebrows and glanced at the hand on his waist. It was the first time that this white and slender catkin was hugging his waist like this.Two men and women, hugging each other like this, galloping their horses, but they didn't seem to feel any disobedience.
Unconsciously, Mu Baili pulled his lips.
Some things are inexplicable, beyond my expectation, but——it is a matter of course in life.
Little did they know that on the official road far away from the capital, a thrilling, premeditated interception came as scheduled.The officers and soldiers fought against the people from Wuji Palace, the sound of blades colliding, accompanied by the slaughter of blood.
People from Wuji Palace quickly surrounded the carriage, but just as the curtain was lifted, there was a violent explosion.In an instant, blood rained, and broken limbs and arms were all over the ground. The scene was so tragic.
"There's no one in the car!" The crowd shouted loudly.
In the distance, Hanyin reined in his horse, and when he heard the cry, he immediately turned his horse's head and galloped away.There was no one in the car, which meant that Mu Baili and Zhao Wuyou were not among them at all. The two of them parted ways with the main force long ago and headed for Yunhua State in two ways.
He led the decree to go out of Beijing, but was attacked halfway, and this matter was quickly reported back to the capital.
In the palace, the emperor was naturally furious.This Wuji Palace is really audacious, and now even the imperial court doesn't pay attention to it.With one order, the emperor ordered the suppression without delay.
Lotus Palace.
Yun Xi stepped forward quickly, "Ma'am, something happened."
Fu Yuying was taken aback, "Why are you so flustered?"
Letting out a long breath, Yun Xi bowed his head, "The officers and soldiers were intercepted, and it was said that Wuji Palace did it."
"What about your son?" Fu Yuying asked hurriedly.
"Young master has a clever plan, and he avoided it a long time ago. He is not in the car." Yun Xi said, "This is all we can know now."
"The Promise Palace?" Fu Yuying frowned, and walked slowly to the window, looking at the rainy outside, "I heard the emperor mentioned it once earlier, saying that it was a gangster organization who had the audacity to come to the palace to steal. Now, how can even the officers and soldiers Don't let it go? I'm afraid, it's not some Jianghu organization!"
Yun Xi shook his head, "This is your son's business, I don't dare to inquire about it in a humble position."
Fu Yuying nodded, "It's about time for it to rain today."
"Yes!" Yun Xi bowed his head, "Get someone to act immediately."
Yun Xi retreated, and the surroundings became quiet again.Fu Yuying stroked her belly and looked up at the drizzle outside the window.
Qiu Xian carefully put the shawl on her body, "Master, be careful of the cold weather."
Bowing her head and smiling, Fu Yuying came back to her senses, "Qiu Xian, do you think there is retribution in this world?"
"Master thinks there is, so it must be!" Qiu Xian smiled.
Fu Yuying turned to look at her, "Do you believe it?"
"I don't believe it." Qiu Xian pursed her lips.
"Why don't you believe me?" Fu Yuying frowned.
Qiu Xian let out a long breath, "If there is really retribution, there would be no grievances in this world long ago. Those people with blood on their hands, shouldn't they go to the Underworld to report early? The slaves don't believe in retribution, and the slaves only believe in the son. .”
"Why are you following the young master?" Fu Yuying asked.
Qiu Xian didn't speak, she saluted and turned to leave.
Fu Yuying stared fixedly at Qiu Xian's leaving back, feeling slightly ill.In Qiu Xian, there seems to be some secrets that cannot be understood by outsiders.It's Qiu Xian and Zhao Wuyou's secret!
Tonight, the emperor went to Furong Palace, where Hu Jieyu lived.
In this palace, there is only one emperor, and the favor can only be given to one person.In fact, Fu Yuying doesn't like this kind of uniform rain and dew. Once upon a time, the expectations of her youth have become the wishful thinking of today.
Who doesn't like being a couple for the rest of their lives, when they meet the man they love, and from then on, their white hair and brows match each other, and they fly together.
But now?
No matter what you think, you don't have a choice.
With a sigh, Lianhua Palace seemed a little cold.
In the middle of the night, the rain stopped, but the whole palace was boiling.
A floating corpse was found in a well.
"It rained yesterday, and the water in the well was soaring. When the servants came to fetch the water, they only felt a fishy smell. Who knew that when the bucket was thrown down, a dead body was picked up." The eunuch on duty was terrified and shivered.
It was not a big deal when something like this happened in the palace.Isn't it just that a eunuch died, just tidy up and tidy up.The commander of the imperial forest army glanced at the dead body, and the eunuch Bingbi, the supervisor of ceremonies, frowned slightly, "Which palace is this eunuch? Do you know anyone?"
If you recognize who it is, your household registration will be cancelled.
If you can't recognize it, you can only throw it in the mass grave.
However, someone recognized it, "This seems to be Eunuch Liu from Yongxiang!"
Seeing this, everyone was startled, and immediately asked people to call the servants of Yongxiang to identify them.Sure enough, Eunuch Liu disappeared earlier and has not been found. It turned out that he was killed in a well.
Speaking of Eunuch Liu, everyone thought of another person.
That is Xia Zhaoyi who Eunuch Liu served!The one from Danyang Palace!
Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, a little dumbfounded for a while.
"There seems to be something else in here." A soldier of the imperial forest leaned on the edge of the well and looked into it carefully, vaguely feeling that there was something vague inside.
After some salvage, everyone was startled.
With this salvage, things were magnified.
Including Eunuch Liu, there were three corpses in total, all of which were beaten to death and pushed into the well.The person at the bottom was still tied with some rocks, who knew that the rope was eroded by water, the well water surged yesterday, and the body floated up.
Three lives, and all three lives came from Yongxiang.It's a big deal, and it's spread to ten and ten to hundreds.Xia Qiongzhi was grounded in Yongxiang earlier and suffered all kinds of humiliation, but now the people who humiliated her are staying in the well, and they know the key to this without even thinking about it.
People are dead, and some unclear things can no longer be cleared up.
Xia Qiongzhi felt wronged, she clearly didn't kill anyone, and when she came out, she still performed this good show properly, how could it suddenly become like this?The lavish praise earlier has become a play on the spot, a hypocrisy.
After everyone thought she had changed her ways and turned to good, she was suddenly beaten back to her original form.
The emperor's face was ashen, and he was sitting in the main hall of Furong Palace, listening to the report from the people below with cold eyes.The commander of the imperial forest army and the eunuch Bingbi, the supervisor of ceremonies, described the process of discovering the corpse and the cause of death of the deceased one by one.
"It's unreasonable!" The emperor jumped up, and the servants fell to their knees.
Xiao Dezi hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, calm down! Your Majesty, calm down!"
Because the emperor was angry, Hu Qingfang naturally knelt down, "The emperor calms down, the matter has come to this point, there is nothing to do. People cannot be resurrected after death, and this matter can only be death without proof."
When he heard that there was no proof of death, the emperor became even more angry, "Go and bring that bitch to me!"
Xiao Dezi saluted, "Your slave will lead the order."
After going out, Xiao Dezi was covered in cold sweat.The emperor lost the prescription, and the resentment in his heart hadn't subsided yet, Xia Zhaoyi was in trouble and committed this crime.The other side of Yunhua State has not yet been confirmed, and Wuji Palace intercepted and killed him halfway. I am afraid that the emperor's anger will be vented on Xia Zhaoyi.
Taking a deep breath, Xiao Dezi hurriedly headed towards Danyang Palace.
Xia Lan quickly arrived at Danyang Palace, and when she learned that it was Yongxiang Liu Gonggong who died, Xia Lan knew that the disaster was serious.
"Sister, something happened." Xia Lan panted, "You should be mentally prepared."
Xia Qiongzhi raised her eyebrows suddenly, staring fixedly at Xia Lan in front of her, "I didn't kill anyone."
"It's useless for me to believe in you. The emperor must believe in you." Xia Lan took a deep breath, "If the emperor blames me, I hope my sister will not be stubborn. The emperor is suspicious by nature, so my sister must not be head-on. I have already asked Bichun to go I'm looking for the empress, I think the empress will help you save your life for the sake of the child in my sister's womb."
Shaking her body, Xia Qiongzhi sat down on the stool, her face pale.
"Sister, go back!" Xia Qiongzhi looked dull, "Just pretend that you have never been here before, and don't be troubled by me. We two sisters, one of us must survive outside. If someone catches them all, then our Duke's Mansion will Our Xia Family is really over."
Xia Lan stared fixedly at Xia Qiongzhi, the usually perverse and ruthless woman, seemed to have exhausted her edge at this moment, dimming all sharpness.
"Sister?" Xia Lan narrowed her eyes.
"You've been smart since you were young, so you should understand what I mean. You know better than anyone else what I'm facing right now." Xia Qiongzhi sighed and got up slowly, "Let's go!"
Xia Lan pursed her lips and saluted, "Sister, take care."
"Sister, did you ever hate me?" Xia Qiongzhi asked.
Xia Lan smiled, "What did my sister say, my sister and I are siblings, how could there be hatred?"
"I was the one who let my father send you into the palace, and I was the one who stirred you into this darkness." Xia Qiongzhi smiled coldly, "What you hoped for is to be a couple for the rest of your life, and I made you lose all of this. "
"Sister, stop talking." Xia Lan walked away.
Xia Qiongzhi smiled awkwardly, "I'm afraid I won't be able to get out of the limbo again, this time must be the last time I see you."
Xia Lan paused, his eyes darkened, "As long as you are alive, there is hope. Why do you need to despair? Besides, you still have the emperor's flesh and blood in your belly. As long as my sister can persevere, there is always a way out."
After saying that, she never looked back, and walked out of Danyang Palace.
Xia Qiongzhi looked around, the Danyang Palace should be vacant again.
When Xiao Dezi came to the door, Xia Qiongzhi seemed to have been prepared, and followed Xiao Dezi without arguing.Huandong was supporting Xia Qiongzhi, and she could clearly feel the trembling and weakness from Xia Qiongzhi.
All the tenacity is just the last pride at work.
Looking up at the gate of Furong Palace, Xia Qiongzhi took a deep breath and walked in slowly.
Kneeling in front of the emperor respectfully, Xia Qiongzhi's face was ashen.When others have set the game for you, you have no possibility of struggling.There is no proof of death, that is their identification of her.
"I didn't expect you to be such a ruthless person. It was I who asked you to go to Yongxiang to reflect on your mistakes. It was I who made you suffer there. You rewarded them openly, but secretly, secretly Poisonous hands. You are such a capricious and sinister villain, what else can you say at this moment?" The emperor said coldly.
Xia Qiongzhi knelt there with a calm expression, "Since the emperor has determined that the concubine is such a sinister villain, is there any need for the concubine to explain? If the concubine argues for herself, does the emperor think that the concubine is just making excuses?" ? If so, the concubine has nothing to say, let the emperor punish her."
After speaking, Hu Qingfang's complexion also changed a little.
The emperor was taken aback, and then angrily reprimanded, "Presumptuous! Are you saying that I have slandered you? The evidence is solid, how can you make excuses? I am so blind that I would let you out to kill people."
Xia Qiongzhi smiled coldly, her extremely beautiful face showed a trace of coldness, "If the concubine denies it, will the emperor want to kill the concubine unjustly?"
"You!" The emperor jumped up, "You bitch!"
"The concubine asked herself that she had never done it before. These people died in the well. Why did the emperor think it was the concubine's hands? In the emperor's heart, is the concubine so cruel and merciless? Your majesty, the concubine serves you and is your pillow." People from the side. Don't you know what kind of temperament a concubine is?" Xia Qiongzhi had tears in her eyes, "Although concubines are willful, concubines will not kill people."
The emperor thought about it, and it seemed to make sense.
Hu Qingfang stepped forward and helped the emperor to sit down, "Your Majesty, this happened suddenly, let someone investigate it!" She glanced at Xia Qiongzhi, "Look, this Xia Zhaoyi is pregnant, how can..."
Not to mention that the pregnancy is fine, but when it comes to pregnancy, the emperor is furious, "You can do anything wrong just because you are pregnant? Fu Jieyu is also pregnant. Take a look at others, keep yourself safe, and be careful about raising your baby. But you Woolen cloth?"
Xia Qiongzhi tensed up, "The concubine didn't kill anyone."
"You still dare to quibble!" It is actually the most unwise to argue with the emperor.Especially the self-proclaimed intelligent emperor, who is always headstrong, how could he tolerate your arguments.Your so-called injustice and innocence are slapping the emperor in the face.
Because he is the emperor, he thinks you did this, so you have to admit it.
But you say you don't admit it, the emperor feels that there is no place to put his face, and you dare to question the emperor's conclusion, aren't you asking for trouble?
"Your Majesty, calm down!" Xiao Dezi bowed and saluted, and everyone below followed him and shouted, "Your Majesty, calm down."
But when it comes to this, how can the emperor appease his anger?
The Duke's Mansion has fallen and has been deprived of his status, no matter how beautiful Xia Qiongzhi looks, it doesn't help.Because there is never a shortage of beautiful women in the palace, how can the king's love last long.
So at this time, no one will help Xia Qiongzhi.
Everyone pushes the wall down, this principle is the simplest.
"If the emperor has evidence to prove that the concubine was killed, the concubine is willing to die." Xia Qiongzhi's character is doomed that she cannot be subdued.But sometimes refusing to give in is just a helpless move. If you want to live a long time, you have to persevere.
The emperor was furious, "Come here, drag this bitch down to me, put him in the cold palace and never come out again."
"Hold on, Your Majesty!" The voice of Empress Li Shi came from outside.
The queen's breathing was a little short, presumably she came here in a hurry.After saluting to the emperor, everyone stepped aside silently.The queen took a step forward, her face darkened, "Your Majesty, you must think clearly, Xia Zhaoyi still has the Emperor's flesh and blood in his belly. The heirs in the palace are few, and I hope that the Emperor will think twice for the sake of the country and the country for thousands of years."
The emperor paused. Most of the princesses under his knees were indeed weak.But if he didn't punish Xia Zhaoyi who talked back today, he would have nowhere to put his face.After thinking about it, it seems that I can't have the best of both worlds.
He thought, if his Zhao Aiqing was here, he might be able to give him a good idea.
Seeing that the emperor was silent, the queen sighed softly, "Your Majesty, Xia Zhaoyi was at fault, that was her fault, but the heir was not at fault. How could the emperor have the heart to let his heir live in the cold palace? What is the cold palace, the emperor should It is very clear that if the emperor's heir is damaged, I am afraid that the emperor will regret it."
The emperor looked pale and said nothing.
Hu Qingfang stepped forward to salute the empress, "Empress, the emperor is really in a difficult situation, and I hope your empress can find a compromise."
Hearing this, the emperor looked up at the queen, as if acquiescing to Hu Qingfang's statement.
This is naturally the result that the queen likes to see, and she immediately smiled, "Actually, the emperor doesn't have to worry about it. Xia Zhaoyi made a mistake, the emperor was furious, and he should be sent to the cold palace. It's just that the cold palace can't be comprehensive. Why don't the emperor temporarily imprison Xia Zhaoyi in Kunming?" The Palace of Ning is under the care of the courtiers and concubines. It will not be too late to deal with it after the birth of the emperor's heir. What does the emperor think?"
Confinement to Kunning Palace?
Hu Qingfang made some calculations in her mind, but she somewhat understood what the empress meant.
The emperor is not a fool, the empress has not had children for a long time, and has no children under her knees.It's not bad to think so!Anyway, he now hates a vicious woman like Xia Zhaoyi, but he also cares about the child in her belly.Now she is confined in the Kunning Palace, under the care of the empress. In the future, no matter whether she gives birth to a prince or a princess, she can be fostered under the empress' knees in a legitimate manner.
The master of the harem has no children, and will eventually be laughed at.
Thinking of this, the emperor stood up, "Then do as the queen wishes!"
"Your Majesty, the concubine really didn't kill anyone!" Xia Qiongzhi's eyes were burning.
The emperor snorted coldly and walked away.
Waiting for the emperor to leave, everyone also retreated.With tears in his eyes, Huandong picked up Xia Qiongzhi, Xia Qiongzhi's face was ashen, and her whole body seemed to be pulled away.Her feet were a little frivolous, and her body was a little shaky.
Hu Qingfang stood there, watching Xia Qiongzhi follow the queen to leave.
The servant Zhishu stepped forward, "Your Majesty, doesn't the Emperor know what the Empress Dowager means?"
"So what if you know?" Hu Qingfang smiled coolly, "The Queen's mother is so beautiful in the world, she should have a child."
Zhishu nodded, "That's true, but letting the tiger go back to the mountain is bound to be a disaster."
"Some people know better than us the truth of killing a snake and getting hurt." Hu Qingfang's eyes darkened, "A person who could have buried this game the day Xia Qiongzhi came out is not an ordinary person. I must have expected that the empress would come forward. I guess that person just wants Xia Qiongzhi's life!"
"But why is the emperor so angry?" Zhishu was puzzled, "It's not like no one died in this palace."
"If Xia Qiongzhi killed someone, wouldn't it be disrespectful to the emperor? The emperor let her out. Where is the emperor's face now? Besides, I heard from my father that these days, the manor at the Duke's mansion has been I'm singing praises, talking about the kindness of the late emperor. The excerpts have been sent to the imperial court, and the emperor must be unhappy." Hu Qingfang made a decision.
Zhishu smiled, "The emperor hates being manipulated the most."
"So, when Xia Qiongzhi's accident happened, the emperor put the Duke's government's account on her. Whoever made Xia Qiongzhi herself unlucky, it happened that at this time, she touched the emperor's brow. Fortunately, the emperor will sooner or later I was thinking about restoring the status of the Duke’s Mansion before, but now I have no chance.” Hu Qingfang thought for a while, “The father and son of the Zhao family are not in the capital now, who has such a great ability to announce a Where's the game?"
Zhishu shook his head, "It must not be an ordinary person."
Hu Qingfang nodded, "It's more than unusual, it's simply too dangerous."
The three corpses revoked all the emperor's goodwill towards the Duke's Mansion, and even messed up the restoration of the Duke's Mansion, which was almost on the agenda.
"Could it be the emperor?" Zhishu was taken aback.
Hu Qingfang frowned, "It was the queen who let Xia Qiongzhi out that day, is she still the one now?" If it was really the queen, then this thought would be too scary.Directed and acted by himself, just for the child in Xia Qiongzhi's belly.
One must know that in this way, Xia Qiongzhi would never have the chance to stand up in the palace, and it would no longer be possible for a mother to be more expensive than a child.And a child whose biological mother has no morals and rights will not be able to leave the queen in the future, and it will be easier for the queen to control Xia Qiongzhi's mother and child.
After this incident, Xia Qiongzhi must be grateful to the queen.
Thinking about it this way, it seems that the queen really did it.
The outcome of the matter seemed to be within Fu Yuying's expectations.Hearing Yun Xi and Qiu Xian's report, she just smiled faintly, "After all, no one can compare to your young master's intelligence, even if he is not in the deep palace, the layout can still be carried out in an orderly manner, which is really impressive. admire."
Qiu Xian smiled, "It's also thanks to the master's arrangement."
"Heaven is going to destroy her Xia family, and also live in the country's government, and she has the idea of resetting it." Fu Yuying sighed softly.
Since Zhao Wuyou managed to get the emperor to remove your position as Duke, how could he let you come back so easily.But now this matter, no one would think that it has something to do with Zhao Wuyou.
Zhao Wuyou went to Yunhua State to serve the emperor. Where can he find such a loyal minister and good general?So no matter who the suspect was, no one would suspect a loyal minister like Zhao Wuyou.
But the queen is out of luck, even the emperor will think about the biggest beneficiary of this incident.
Xia Qiongzhi has a vicious mind, so why not the queen?
But looking at the harem, to make the harem so peaceful, the new queen has to do something.The emperor didn't want to bother, so he just turned a blind eye.Doesn't the queen want a child?Give it to her!
As long as he can live in peace, it will not delay the emperor's great cause of cultivating immortals.
Yun Xi nodded, "Now that Xia Zhaoyi has been abolished, she is imprisoned in the Kunning Palace without a name or status. The emperor also decreed that he will never step out of the Kunning Palace. It is estimated that this time, the emperor has also made a real move."
"The emperor is afraid that someone in the harem will follow suit, and he is even more afraid of side effects. The emperor has doubts, but the queen is a queen after all. Even if everyone in the world doubts her, the emperor has to maintain the face of the royal family. The queen has no children. It is inevitable that there will be troubles in the long run, and if there is a disturbance in the future because of the establishment of the crown prince, the emperor will also have a headache." Fu Yuying stroked her belly.
"If Xia Qiongzhi gave birth to a son, it is estimated that the Empress—" Qiu Xian frowned.
Fu Yuying sighed softly, "Whether it's a son or a daughter, what's the use of losing favor?"
In the harem, one cannot live without grace.As long as there is grace, are you afraid that you will not have the opportunity to have children?While mothers are more expensive than their sons, there are also reasons why sons are more expensive than their mothers.
"I don't know your son, how is it now?" Fu Yuying frowned.
I heard that I was stopped on the road, and I don't know what will happen.If Zhao Wuyou died, then Fu Yuying would be in a difficult situation in this palace.After all, Zhao Wuyou's methods are indispensable for her to be able to enter the palace and gain the favor.
Qiu Xian and Yun Xi looked at each other and remained silent.
what can i do
Zhao Wuyou and Mu Baili were not in the car, nor did they go with the army, so those people from Wuji Palace were caught in the air.However, when Ying Falcon sent the news to Lu Guoan, Lu Guoan was still stunned, "The people in Wuji Palace, knowing that Dongchang is accompanying them, why did they intercept and kill them halfway?"
Mu Baili took the letter, glanced at it, and threw it to Zhao Wuyou, "What does Lord Zhao think?"
Hearing this, Zhao Wuyou smiled coldly, "The Governor would not think that the people of Wuji Palace were afraid that I would go far away to Yunhua State and catch the plague and die suddenly, so they hurriedly hijacked me halfway to save their lives. life?"
"The Promise Palace is not opened by your family." Mu Baili glanced at her, and the girl's words became more and more eccentric.As a eunuch, he didn't think so yet, but she has such an accent, which is really a bit embarrassing.
"Maybe, it was opened by my family?" Zhao Wuyou got up, "Hasn't the governor ever doubted what the existence of the Promise Palace is for?"
"For what?" Mu Baili asked.
Sitting under the tree, Zhao Wuyou rubbed his sore arms, "Good and evil have never coexisted since ancient times, but if there is no evil, how can there be righteousness? If there is no righteousness, how can there be evil? Good and evil cannot coexist but are interdependent. To make justice last forever, we must let the evil way go on for a long time. The pursuit of the Promise Palace may be my own trick. What does the governor think?"
"It's the first time I've heard Mr. Zhao's remarks." Mu Baili stared at her with slightly troubled eyes.
Everyone knows that good and evil cannot coexist, but no one has thought about it. If there is no righteousness, how can there be evil?If there is no evil, what is the use of righteousness?
It seems that there are always two sides to things.
Just like the Zhao Wuyou in front of him, who looks sick, but is actually a viper that eats people without spitting out bones.
Suxi took the water bag and handed it to Zhao Wuyou, Zhao Wuyou took the medicine, and the shortness of breath gradually calmed down.Turning his head to look at Mu Baili, his lips curled into a cold smile. There are so many things the Lord has never heard of. "
"Really?" Mu Baili looked at her plain complexion, frowning slightly.
Zhao Wuyou's body was so weak that he had to get off his horse to rest every once in a while.This section of the journey was already the second time she had taken medicine.Even though he was the one who took her, after all, there were constant bumps.
There is a village not far ahead, and looking at the weather, it is time to find a family to rest.
"Master?" Lu Guoan frowned.
"Let's explore the way!" Mu Baili said.
"Yes!" Lu Guoan immediately led the people away.
After Lu Guoan left, Mu Baili walked up to Zhao Wuyou unhurriedly.
Zhao Wuyou looked very tired, leaning against the tree trunk powerlessly, his dying appearance was really unbearable.Now knowing that she is a woman, the feeling in my heart is even more different.
"Master Zhao seems to die at any moment." Mu Baili squatted down.
Zhao Wuyou closed his eyes and didn't bother to look at him, "I ask Lord Hong Fu, I'm afraid it won't be so easy to die."
"That would be the best." Mu Baili looked around, "This place is too cloudy."
Hearing this, Zhao Wuyou suddenly laughed, tried his best to sit up and looked at him, with a sneer in his eyes, "What did the governor say? Too dark?"
"What are you laughing at?" Mu Baili frowned.
Zhao Wuyou said, "As the governor, I am full of murderous intent and blood on my hands. Naturally, gods and ghosts are not taboo. Why, the governor also believes in ghosts in the world? Otherwise, why do you feel that this place is so dark?"
Mu Baili got up, "You are a scholar with no use, I am afraid that you will be dragged to the underworld by ghosts."
"Don't worry, Lord Governor. They don't like my sickly body. It's just that a beautiful face like Lord Governor will definitely attract people's mouth. At that time, Lord Governor, be careful. Don't accidentally become someone else's ghost." Son-in-law." Zhao Wuyou thought for a while, "I don't know if these lonely ghosts like men who are a little less."
Hearing this, Mu Baili squinted at her, "Thank you, Mr. Zhao, for your kindness."
"Don't dare!" Zhao Wuyou took a deep breath and slowly stood up.
Turning his head to look, his body froze slightly.Only then did she understand what Mu Baili meant by these words, so...
