Yijia Yishi

Chapter 367 Sweetness
"But there is only one concubine of mine. She... She is long gone." Huo Tiankang's voice was cold, his lips were pursed, and there seemed to be some sadness and resentment between his brows.

Lord Huo was silent.

How many years have passed, and he can't forget the past, he can't even forget, let alone Huo Tiankang...

Who doesn't long for his mother to be by his side?Who doesn't yearn for warmth?

Lord Huo looked melancholy, staring at the dazzling glazed lamp. Under the light, he seemed to have aged a lot all of a sudden, and suddenly there were several more wrinkles on his forehead. His voice was quite tired, and he said slowly: "I Knowing this, you blame me, you blame me for marrying someone else, you blame me for giving birth to your brother, I know, I know..."

Huo Tiankang's eyes seemed to be poisoned, and he said coldly: "Since you know that I blame you, you shouldn't force me to call that woman Concubine Mother, she is not my Concubine Mother, she is not qualified to be Concubine Mother .”

"But she is our Huo family now, isn't she?" Huo Wangye turned his eyes and fixed on Huo Tiankang, "I actually know what you have done these years, it's just because of your dead mother." Dear, I have never cared about you, I have pity on you, and I am reluctant to punish you, including the deduction of military pay this time."

Hearing the word "military pay", Huo Tiankang's cold face suddenly turned pale and embarrassed. This was his bottom line. He thought his father would never touch it, but unexpectedly he brought it up.

He was embarrassed, angry, and sad...

He thought his father would protect him for the rest of his life, but he didn't.

Lord Huo's expression gradually became serious, but his tone seemed very depressed, "I love you, but I can't indulge you. Do you know how many times I secretly made up for the military pay you withheld?"

Huo Tiankang's expression was shocked, his lips parted and his eyes flickered, "You...you filled in for me...I...how come I don't know?"

The spring was cold, and the night wind blew in through the partition window. Lord Huo ordered a cup of hot tea for himself. The mist rose and was quickly blown away, disappearing as if it had entered the night.Lord Huo took a sip from the cup, revealing a sensual side that men rarely have, and sighed softly: "So what if you know, so what if you don't know?"

Huo Tiankang frowned: "I..." But he didn't know what to say, so he whispered after a long time: "From now on... from now on, my son will never dare again."

"...But, no matter what, it is impossible for me to recognize that woman as my concubine." His eyes returned to the indifference before, and he said coldly: "If you want to persuade me to stop, forgive me, it will be difficult for my son."

Lord Huo shook his head, "Do you have to kill each other? Do you have to die?"

"I have to..." Huo Tiankang's attitude was firm, and his tone was cold: "One mountain cannot accommodate two tigers. In this family, there can only be one person who will be the master in the future. Father, do you choose me or him?"

He threw Lord Huo an extremely difficult choice.

Lord Huo shook his head helplessly.

From ancient times to the present, it has been common for siblings to fight each other for power, but he never thought that one day such a thing would happen to their Huo family, but as a father, he couldn't stop it.

"Do you have to fight with your life?" Lord Huo sighed, he didn't want to look at him again, he just waved his hand and said: "You can do it yourself..."

…………

The night was getting darker, and in the middle of the night, the first spring rain of the year fell, and the raindrops splashed on the window eaves.

Lu Shuyi had never fallen asleep at all, and she didn't know how long she had been wrapped in the quilt in a daze, until Mo Ju gently tucked the quilt for her, and realized that she had not fallen asleep.

Mo Ju knew what she was worried about, so she sat on the edge of the bed and comforted her softly: "Second Young Master is also a person who knows how to measure, besides, isn't it raining tonight? With such a heavy rain, he will definitely not come ..."

Lu Shuyi sat up wrapped in a quilt, she was worried about too many things, not just Huo Tianyou.

Although he was reborn, but at this point, he found that the road ahead was still full of thorns, and it was not so smooth.

"When you go back this time, you should hurry up and get married to my uncle safely." Lu Shuyi suddenly said this.

Mo Ju blushed all of a sudden.

Although the wedding date between her and Wu Cheng was set in May, she still felt very shy when she thought of getting married.

"...I'm uneasy. I'm always afraid that something will go wrong. After you get married, I'll take care of Pan'er and Li Ping'an as well. I'll ask Dongmei and Shuangxi what they mean as soon as possible. "Lu Shuyi tightened the quilt around her body.

The Lu family in the previous life was really miserable. If there is really bad luck in this life, these people who should have been able to escape, she must first pull them out.

The light elongated Lu Shuyi's shadow, making her look a little cold, not quite the same as usual.

Mo Ju suddenly felt very distressed. For such a little girl, everything has to be arranged and thought out. She has seen what has happened in the past few years and how dangerous it is. How should this little girl deal with things?

She couldn't help lowering her voice: "We will also worry about our affairs. You don't have to worry too much. Your own affairs are also very important. Right now, the matters between you and the second son are the most important."

In the past, she was not optimistic about Huo Tianyou, and thought that Lu Shuyi might be happier if she married Su Ziwen. At least Su Ziwen is an ordinary man, and there are not so many miscellaneous things in the family. It's strange, but it's just not that two people from the same world have feelings for each other...

What can I do?
The only thing that can be done is to bless.

But it can be seen that Huo Tianyou is indeed a very good person, worthy of entrusting him for life.

If the two of them can achieve a positive result, she can completely relax.

When Dongmei outside heard the commotion inside, she also got up and brought Lu Shuyi a cup of hot tea.

She rubbed her eyes, and said in a muffled voice: "How nice to sleep on a rainy day, why don't you sleep?"

Lu Shuyi looked at the hexagonal screen, and asked in a low voice, "Where is Ah Ju?"

"Just fell asleep next to the table..." Dongmei whispered back.

But Lu Shuyi felt that it was impossible for her to fall asleep. Since the princess sent her over, she must not be careless.

She made a shush gesture and whispered: "Stop arguing, let's all go to rest."

The room quickly returned to calm, and there was no sound at all.

Lu Shuyi was lying with her hands on the quilt, but she couldn't sleep no matter what, she had to keep her eyes open in a daze.

The drum outside was beating three times, and it was already the third watch.

However, the partition window suddenly moved, and the sound was very soft in the dark night, as if a cat had come in.

But she felt that it was a person who came in.

Lu Shuyi instinctively became alert.

This is the palace, she is not afraid of such things as killers, even if the prince and Huo Tiankang can't tolerate her, it is impossible for her to be stupid enough to choose to deal with her in the palace.

Therefore, there is only one answer, maybe the person who came was Huo Tianyou.

I'm really afraid of what's coming.

Lu Shuyi didn't get up, didn't make a sound, but turned her body slightly to the window.

However, Mo Ju had already sensed that someone had come in. She reached out her hand very quickly, and she quickly blocked the shadow in the dark night, and said softly, "Second Young Master, you shouldn't have come so late, you should go back quickly."

It really was Huo Tianyou.

Lu Shuyi didn't dare to move.

I thought he knew how to measure, but who knew he would come here in the middle of the night, what should I do?
Maybe he has already fallen into Lord Huo's trap.

Lu Shuyi was angry and impatient, but she felt very excited for no reason. This kind of excitement even scared her.

She held the quilt tightly, trying not to make a sound, only hoping that Huo Tianyou could leave quickly.

Huo Tianyou seemed to whisper a few words to Mo Ju, his voice was so low that he couldn't hear what they said at all, and soon the window slammed again, and a group of figures floated out again.

Come fast, go fast.

I don't know why, but when she heard the window ringing, Lu Shuyi felt a little lost in her heart...

And Mo Ju seemed to let out a long breath, and murmured: "I'm scared to death..."

Lu Shuyi got up now, and whispered: "But there is something important?"

Mo Ju walked over lightly, without turning on the lamp, and said in the dark next to Lu Shuyi's ear: "Second Young Master said that he just came to see what's going on with you, to see if you've slept, in case you won't be able to sleep if you choose a seat. He also told you not to worry, he has sent people outside, as for his father's people, he has already led them away, when he came in just now, no one knew, so you can rest assured."

Lu Shuyi let out a long breath of relief, and at the same time felt warm in her heart.

Baba came here just to see if she was asleep...

The corners of her mouth twitched slightly.

Mo Ju also felt that Huo Tianyou was too caring, she smiled and opened her fingers, and there was a night pearl in the palm of her hand, and the room was immediately brightly lit.

Mo Ju quickly clenched her fists, and said in a low voice, "Second Young Master said, if you can't fall asleep at your seat, you can secretly play with this bead to pass the time."

Lu Shuyi didn't know what to say, she was only moved.

He took a risk and sneaked into her room in the middle of the night, just to give her a bead, in case she wouldn't be able to sleep and be bored.

There are so many men in this world, but who would take care of her like this?

It was like this in the previous life, and it is still like this in this life. What else is she not satisfied with?
Mo Ju pinched Ye Mingzhu, also smiled and said in a low voice: "To be honest, the Second Young Master treats you really well..."

She didn't say much about "cherish it well" later, but silently threw the luminous pearl under the bed.

Lu Shuyi pulled the quilt over her head, the quilt was pitch black, but the Ye Mingzhu was shining brightly, the inside was bright and majestic, even the stitches of hibiscus flowers embroidered on the brocade quilt were carefully looked at...

I don't know where he got such beads?It must have taken a lot of effort for such a big one.

Lu Shuyi rolled the beads back and forth, she couldn't even feel the stuffiness.

She barely closed her eyes that night, and the next morning she appeared in front of the princess with big dark circles under her eyes as a matter of course.

The concubine asked someone to set up breakfast, but she was taken aback by her appearance, and immediately asked with concern: "What's the matter? But you didn't sleep well when you chose the seat?" While ordering someone to wring the hot handkerchief, she personally took the handkerchief and put it on Lu Shuyi Eye.

Lu Shuyi was a little embarrassed, but she couldn't tell the truth, so she could only nod her head and said: "There are some seats..."

The princess just laughed, "I used to be like this too. When I was very good at seat selection, I couldn't sleep all night, but now that I'm older, many problems have disappeared." She rubbed Lu Shuyi's eyes and said with a smile, " When I was young, I had more problems than you, but now, I can’t feel the choice of seats.”

Lu Shuyi smiled awkwardly.

The breakfast was very light, she drank some jujube porridge with the princess, and ate half a piece of hemp seed cake.

After breakfast, the concubine didn't want to keep her, and immediately sent Madam Qiu to take her back in person.

"You didn't go back all night last night. Your mother must be worried too. She will be more stable when she goes back." The princess is very considerate, she can understand Wu's mood.

If she were Wu Shi, she would definitely be worried to death now.

Lu Shuyi thanked the princess and hurried home.

As expected, Mrs. Wu waited so anxiously that she almost didn't sleep all night.

However, the old lady Lu was very happy. The Lu family has been in the house for so many years, but no one has ever lived in the prince's house, let alone the prince, even before the Huo family was crowned king, none of their Lu family had lived in the Huo house. Lu Shuyi was the first.

Those who can let the princes and concubines stay in the mansion are the honor of those who are very close to the Huo family.

This also shows that the Lu family is appreciated by the Huo family...

Old Madam Lu was in a particularly good mood. When Nanny Qiu sent Lu Shuyi here, she was even more overjoyed, and she personally rewarded Nanny Qiu with a pair of red gold bracelets.

Nanny Qiu refused to accept it, so Mrs. Lu forced it into her hands before giving up.

In the end, Nanny Qiu had no choice but to accept it. She felt very helpless when she left the house. At the same time, she also felt that the heritage of the Lu family was indeed there. I couldn't help but look down on Lord Huo. Look at the gold that Mrs. Lu often bestowed on her. Beans, gold bracelets will know...

Fortunately, Lu Shuyi is different from them, very different.

As soon as Nanny Qiu left, Mrs. Lu couldn't wait to ask about Lu Shuyi's stay at Huo's house last night.

What to eat, what to drink, what to use, what to say, everything should be involved.

Lu Shuyi felt very helpless, so she had to be perfunctory to the respondent.

But Wu Shi felt relieved. These days, she was so worried that she felt as if she was tormented in a pan of oil every day, and she couldn't hold on anymore.

Especially after Lu Shuyi was injured.

What happened that night was really scary, and the old lady Pei San hasn't found any clues until now, but the body of the coachman was found. The government only said that he died of poisoning, but how did he get poisoned , who the murderer is, but has never been found out...

Wu felt that there were too many potential dangers around Lu Shuyi, so much that she didn't know whether to help Huo Tianyou and Lu Shuyi...
