Chapter 509 Spider Silk (Part [-])
The two of them didn't speak. Huo Tianyou listened to her belly for a long time like a child, before he chuckled and said, "I seem to hear his heartbeat."

"It's so small, can't you hear it?" Lu Shuyi smiled sweetly like a flower.

But he said with certainty: "Of course I can hear..."

Lu Shuyi let him mess around for a while, and then the two sat opposite each other, talking while drinking tea.

Lu Shuyi talked about the Huainan King, she sighed: "Now the He family in Zhili is in panic, and those who used to work for the Queen Mother are all in danger, for fear that the Huainan King will really come to the north."

Huo Tianyou took a sip of tea, and said calmly: "Whether you can fight to the north or not depends on the emperor's will. The king of Huainan fights under the banner of the Qing emperor. If the queen mother is still in power, the He family will cover the sky with only one hand above the court. Then there will be more people who support King Huainan. But if the emperor really wants to deal with the He family, the He family has developed a lot of power over the years, and it is not so active to affect the whole body."

"So, this is an opportunity?" Lu Shuyi asked tentatively.

Huo Tianyou nodded without avoiding: "Yes, for father, this is an opportunity, an excellent opportunity."

"What about you?" Lu Shuyi looked at Huo Tianyou without blinking. Once upon a time, she also thought that he was an indomitable man with shocking talents, and he should have some earth-shattering deeds.

However, after experiencing so many things, she finally felt that living a normal life was what she wanted.

But if you let him have a mediocre life, and feel that he is too wronged, after thinking about it, he said first: "For you, no matter whether it is an opportunity or not, you have to fight hard. Over the years, I know that you want to do many things. However, I have never been able to find an opportunity to do it, and now that the strong are fighting for it, you can just use your talent..."

Huo Tianyou was slightly stunned, and after a long time, he gently held her hand and said, "Don't you like to live a peaceful life? Why didn't you stop me?"

Lu Shuyi sighed softly: "I... I wanted to stop it, but after thinking about it, I still don't think I should stop it. You are not a mediocre person. If I hinder you, you may not be happy in the future. If you are not happy, how can I be happy? So...you let go and fight, fight for the world, and do what you like to do."

"Yi'er..." He squeezed her hand again, he didn't know what to say for a moment, he could only pinch her fingers and said: "Don't worry, I will definitely let you live a safe life."

The lips of the two were lightly pressed together, light and shadow intertwined, only the sound of continuous breathing...

However, the imperial court was still turbulent. The Empress Dowager He exerted all kinds of pressure, asking Emperor Rong to send a large army to encircle and suppress the Huainan King, and then kill the Huainan King's henchmen one by one.

However, Emperor Rong didn't want to use force. Once force was used, the victims would be ordinary people. Moreover, King Huainan did not burn, kill or loot all the way north.

In this way, it will be more difficult for him to make up his mind to encircle and suppress King Huainan.

Emperor Rong summoned Lord Huo to discuss with him, and the two had a drink together. Emperor Rong sighed and asked Lord Huo, "What do you think of Huo Qing's current situation? Should we send troops to encircle and suppress, or... should we retreat?" Enter?"

Lord Huo put down the wine cup, pondered for a moment before saying: "In my opinion, if you want to encircle and suppress, you must first make a good layout to minimize casualties. If you don't encircle and suppress, the emperor must always show his attitude and sincerity. On the surface, the banner is for your own good, and it is for you to gather your rights..." He coughed again and said, "Of course, you and the Queen Mother have a deep relationship with the mother and child. Some things may not be so clear, but outsiders can't see them Just understand."

Emperor Rong smiled wryly, and the love between mother and child was also very ironic.

Since he succeeded to the throne, the power has actually been in the hands of the Empress Dowager He. Usually, even the trivial matters, the ministers of the court and China have to ask, "Have you asked the Empress Dowager for her opinion?" Being controlled by others, no matter how deep the mother-child relationship is, it has faded long ago.

So he thought about it: "If you don't send troops, can Huo Qing have a good countermeasure?"

Lord Huo pondered for a long time. He actually knew the intention of Emperor Rong. To put it bluntly, he wanted to seize the opportunity to gather power, but he was also afraid that the power of the Empress Dowager He in the court would oppose him. At that time, no one would support him. There is no escape.

Emperor Rong's intention in asking him was simply to get his support. After all, the Huo family was considered a mainstay in the court and held military power. If Emperor Rong got his help, he would have more confidence in attacking the He family.

"...If you don't send troops, your majesty, of course you have to show your attitude." Lord Huo lowered his eyebrows and said firmly, then sighed: "It's just that if you show your attitude, you will definitely hurt the Empress Dowager's face. This matter... ...But I am also in a dilemma... I really dare not say more."

Such an answer is equivalent to no answer at all.

Emperor Rong didn't get a satisfactory answer, but when he asked again, Lord Huo still talked about him, but refused to express his opinion.

Emperor Rong was helpless, and he couldn't express his thoughts directly. After drinking a few glasses of wine, he had to support his forehead and said: "I am too strong to drink, so Huo Qing should go back and rest. We will discuss it tomorrow morning."

Lord Huo got up to leave, Emperor Rong waved his hand as if thinking of something, "Huo Qing's second son is really a young talent, last time I talked with him, I really liked his vision, if there is a chance, Huo Qing will Take him into the palace together."

Lord Huo was stunned for a moment, before returning to his senses and saluting: "My minister knows..."

After leaving later, Lord Huo ordered someone to quietly find out what Huo Tianyou had said to Emperor Rong the last time he entered the palace, and whether Emperor Rong had any intention of reusing him...

But Huo Tianyou didn't know what happened in the palace, he just stayed by Lu Shuyi's side every day, and at the same time he didn't forget to help Zhou Yong find out Xiaolian's death.

Zhou Yong also found clues in Huo's house. It was the day when Huo Tianyou and Huo Tiankang fell out that day, he had helped Doctor Wang treat the wounds of the injured.And one person impressed him very much, that person was seven feet long, with a dark face, a scar on his forehead, and most importantly, that person had six fingers on his right hand...

On that rainy night that year, a group of people chased and killed their family of three. When Xiao Lian died, he stabbed a person with a knife, and the knife hit the masked man's forehead. The situation was critical at that time, and he didn't have time to see clearly. From the appearance of the masked man, I just remembered that the man had six fingers on his right hand, and the extra finger was very clear when holding the knife.

It is true that there are many people with six fingers in the world, but those with scars on their foreheads and six fingers are rare.

Zhou Yong told Huo Tianyou what he had discovered, and said in an excited tone, "I will definitely remember the man with six fingers."
