Empress Dowager Empress Dowager

Chapter 185 Inviting Her to Form an Alliance (Part [-])
Huo Mingzhu had nothing important to do, so Jin Wuhuan followed him, went to the rouge shop, and then walked around the surrounding shops casually. Except for some rouge, he returned to the general's mansion without buying anything. Wuhuan couldn't continue to follow, so she said to start preparing for the game.

As soon as Jin Wuhuan left, Fang Tieyi came back.

Under the guise of visiting the rouge shop, Huo Mingzhu sent Fang Tieyi out for a walk. The imperial examination was just around the corner. Before that, she still had one important thing to do.

Situ Tiannan, the only son of Elder Situge, was Baili Zonglu's right-hand man in his previous life. If she could cut off this right-hand man before Situ Tiannan became popular, Baili Zonglu's strength would be greatly reduced.This is of great benefit to Huo Mingzhu.

In her previous life, Huo Mingzhu already knew enough about the Situ family, but she didn't study the habits of the members of the Situ family in depth. Now she has some calculations, so she sent Fang Tieyi out to find out about Situ Tian South movement.

"Tell me, what did you find out?" Huo Mingzhu didn't have much hope.Fang Tieyi is not from the capital, so if he is asked to inquire about a son of a master in the capital, most of them are just to inquire about the fur, which is something that everyone knows.

The reason why Huo Mingzhu sent him there was because of the fur, and more, she went by herself. Anyway, the day of the game had not yet arrived, and the backyard of the General's Mansion remained superficially calm, so she didn't If you want to break the peace in the past, you might as well take this opportunity to find Situ Tiannan's fault.

"Miss, Situ Tiannan is extremely honest. Apart from gathering with the Ninth Prince and his schoolmates, he is just studying in the mansion, presumably to prepare for the imperial examination."

Sure enough, the news reported by Fang Tieyi was all on the bright side, Huo Mingzhu didn't care, waved Fang Tieyi out, and stayed in the room to ponder carefully.

At this time, there was a sound of footsteps outside the house, and after a while, a figure rushed in.

In pink clothes and a small bun, it was Huo Huaiyu who hadn't seen him for a long time.

"Sister, where have you been? I've looked for you many times, but you're not here." Huo Huaiyu's eyes flicked around Huo Mingzhu's body, as if to see through Huo Mingzhu's secret.

Huo Mingzhu let her watch, the smile on her face was impeccable, she took Huo Huaiyu's hand and said: "I went to the temple today to pray for my mother, and I stopped by the rouge shop to bring you some rouge. No, you came just after you came back. Come and see if you like it."

"Hmph, I've been really bored these few days, sister, you went to pray for blessings, but you didn't bring me with you." Huo Huaiyu was obviously a little angry, snorted, and didn't care about rouge and gouache.

Huo Mingzhu sighed: "Mother is not feeling well now, it's good for you to accompany and talk with her, but I don't know what mother likes to listen to or what to do, staying by her side will only add to the chaos Why don't you go to the Bodhisattva and pray for your mother. If my sister goes with me, wouldn't there be no one around my mother to talk to?"

I don't know what kind of plan Lin Ruyi was planning. After the "miscarriage", she was lingering on the bed, and the family affairs were neglected, so Huo Mingzhu let her go.

Anyway, now Lin Ruyi and the old lady's Liangzi have been married, and there is Yu Tong in the middle, this scene does not need her Huo Mingzhu to mix, it will be very exciting.

"My mother is really pitiful. Yu Tong is all to blame. If it wasn't for her, how could my mother suffer so much? Sister, let's drive that Yu Tong away." After a while, Huo Huaiyu finally said the reason for this visit. purpose.

After hearing this, Huo Mingzhu raised her eyebrows slightly, a little surprised that Huo Huaiyu would find her side, it can be seen that Huo Huaiyu has no choice but to form an alliance with her who is also an enemy.The little sheep who has always been weak and innocent has learned to bear this matter.

Huo Mingzhu pretended to be surprised and nervous, gently covered Huo Huaiyu's mouth, and looked outside, as if afraid that someone would eavesdrop: "Sister, don't say this again, if people hear it, spread it, Especially when it reaches the old lady's ears, we can't predict how the old lady will be angry."

Huo Mingzhu just wants to tell Huo Huaiyu that Yu Tong is being protected by the old lady Huo at the moment, and if you want to drive her away, you must get the old lady's permission, even if you Huo Huaiyu is favored again.

Of course, Huo Huaiyu heard some Ni Duan, and shouted displeasedly: "Why, we are the granddaughter of the old lady, but we were chased away by an outsider when we got favors, sister, you have to let the situation deteriorate like this Did you go down?"

"Huaiyu, you have always seen how the old lady treats me and how she treats you. Even the old lady's love for you can't affect the old lady's decision, let alone me, an insignificant person? I feel uncomfortable in my heart. I've been away for several years, and I don't look like an outsider in this general's mansion." Huo Mingzhu pretended to be sad, and lowered her eyebrows.

She is so self-deprecating. On the one hand, she is telling the truth, which is obvious to all. On the other hand, it is nothing more than raising the sense of superiority in Huo Huaiyu's heart to another stage, making her realize that Yu Tong is her strong enemy, and she, the "general's mansion" Outsiders", incapable of confronting anyone.

Huo Mingzhu also knew that Yu Tong's temper had also been aroused, and she was not someone to be easily provoked. She needed someone to trouble her in order to inspire her to fight back, so Huo Huaiyu was the best candidate.

"Sister, is she trying to protect herself? My mother regards my sister as her own daughter!" Sensing Huo Mingzhu's intentions, Huo Huaiyu immediately changed his face, unwilling to stay any longer, and ran out in a hurry after saying nothing.Huo Mingzhu looked at her back and guessed that she must have gone to the old lady.

Huo Mingzhu raised the corners of her lips, she thought it was very funny, relying on her past friendship, Huo Huaiyu only knew how to act like a baby, but now the old lady is angry, angry that Lin Ruyi is not lucky enough, and has caused her Huo family to die. At this time, Huo Huaiyu ran to act like a baby Please, I'm afraid this shot landed on the horse's leg.

Sure enough, that night, Su Hui ran up to Huo Mingzhu with great interest, and recounted the scene of Huo Huaiyu's embarrassment by Mrs. Huo's side today, vividly, spitting and dancing.

Huo Mingzhu doubted, could it be that Su Lan was on the scene?However, Huo Mingzhu didn't dampen her interest, and let her talk, but she was thinking about whether to go to the cloth village of Situ's family first tomorrow, or to visit Situ Yueer in Situ's mansion.

Unexpectedly, when she changed her outfit the next day and was about to go out, Baili Zonglu interrupted her trip.

As soon as Huo Mingzhu walked to the back door, Fang Tieyi said that the Ninth Prince is here.

"Hey, you idiot, don't talk nonsense! What is the Ninth Prince doing here at this time!" Hearing this, Su Yu, who was also wearing men's clothing, turned pale with fright.

"Go, go back." Huo Mingzhu turned around and walked towards her Chenxiang Garden in a calm manner, Su Ling who followed behind kept thinking: "Miss, what should we do, if we are like this, if the Ninth Prince or the master See, what can I do?"

Huo Mingzhu didn't answer, she concentrated on walking, but saw the figure in the east wing shaking violently, the east wing passed through, and it was the back garden, if she wanted to go back to Chenxiang Garden, she had to pass through the back garden.Now, if he walked that way by himself, he would definitely bump into someone who came.

So Huo Mingzhu took Sulu, tapped her feet a few steps, performed lightness kung fu, jumped towards Chenxiang Garden a few times, and then hid in through the window.

When Su Hui stood on the ground, she slapped her chest fiercely, looking frightened.Huo Mingzhu walked into the room indifferently: "If you don't change this clothes, you will have to hide later if someone communicates."

While speaking, she had already taken off the men's clothes on her body and put on the daughter's clothes she usually wears.

Only then did Su Hui recover from her shock, and hurriedly started to pack Huo Mingzhu's outfit.After both of them were dressed, someone came outside to remind them.

"Miss, the master asked if you are all right, don't make the Ninth Prince wait in a hurry."

Huo Mingzhu hummed.

But after waiting for a while, he opened the door and went out. As soon as he got out of the yard, he saw Baili Zonglu standing in the back garden in the distance.Beside him were Huo Zhengde and Huo Huaiyu.

Huo Mingzhu felt Baili Zonglu's gaze. From such a distance, Huo Mingzhu endured the disgust in her heart, lifted her skirt, and walked quickly towards that end.

"I have seen the Ninth Prince."
