Chapter 43 The Outer Room (2)(1/3)
The summer town is hot and humid. A Sheng sat on the stone steps in front of the door and gnawed the watermelon, his little mouth clattered and kept clattering. Dayuan squatted aside, watching the little master gnawing the watermelon, and saliva flowed out.
After gnawing a piece of watermelon, A Sheng wiped his mouth, got up and threw the watermelon skin into the trash can, and then carried the trash can back to the house. His mother was locked in the house by a bad uncle and could not play with him. A Sheng walked out with a kite and asked Xiaotao to accompany him to the garden.
There was no wind in the summer night, and A Sheng was so hot that he was sweating all over. After flying the kite for a while, he wanted to stretch his tongue out like the big round, but his mother didn't let him stretch out his tongue. He sat cross-legged in the pavilion, holding his cheek with both hands, "Xiao Tao, when will my mother come out?"
Xiaotao coughed awkwardly, took out a veil to wipe his sweat, "Young Master is going to go shopping on the street?"
When he heard that he could go out to play, A Sheng was in a state of interest and did not feel hot anymore. He tied a dog leash to Dayuan and paraded with Xiaotao and the chef.
Tonight, a troupe set up a stage by the lake for passers-by to watch. A Sheng was swaying outside the wall with his round belly, but he could only hear the opera and could not see their appearance. A Sheng was so anxious that he stomped his feet and looked at the chef on one side, "Hug."
The chef carried A Sheng and asked him to sit on his neck.
His eyes widened and he could see the scene on the stage. A Sheng opened his mouth and looked at the big face on the stage intently.
After the big face finished singing, amidst the applause, another young actor with a robe and robe walked out from behind the stage, which attracted the audience's applause.
A Sheng stared at the young actor with a robe and clapped his hands happily, his tender voice drowned in the crowd.
When he returned to the small house, A Sheng ran into the house to take a bath. At this time, his mother would prepare water and wait for him to enter the house. However, today there was no sign of his mother in Dongwai, but the door of the west bedroom had not been opened.
A Sheng patted the door of the west lying lying, but was coaxed and tricked by the nanny and took her to take a bath.
In the west lie down, Baoshan heard her son's movements and pushed the man on her body with her eyebrows, but in return she was more powerful in searching.
Since he had stomach problems, Lu Yuzhou has been eating vegetarian food. He seemed to have eaten meat tonight and was out of control.
For an entire hour, Baoshan's feet had not fallen to the ground, and it was not until the storm that she was about to stop.
The voice was already dull. Baoshan sat up with a thin ginger blanket, put her even white calves on the edge of the couch, and said with her back to Lu Yuzhou, "Is that OK? I want to take a shower."
Lu Yuzhou lay flat on the couch, supported himself on his forehead with one hand, calming his breathing. When he was so refreshed, he almost killed him.
Seeing that he did not stop him, Baoshan bent down and picked up the dress on the ground and draped it on her shoulders, and walked out of the door barefoot. The discomfort made her walk a little weird.
Fortunately, the nanny had already carried A Sheng back to Dongwo, otherwise she would have no shame to see her son.
In the misty water vapor, Baoshan did not immediately soak in the bathtub, but stood against the wall for a long time and took pre-prepared pills.
Lu Yuzhou, who was completely unaware of what she did, pushed open the bedroom window, breathing the air of the night, his chest still trembled, and the woman's graceful figure couldn't get rid of it in her mind for a long time.
He fell into deep thought, why did Baoshan bring him such a dripping feeling? Every pore in his body was pleasant, his emotions would be affected by it, and his heartbeat would lose its rhythm due to it.
No one has ever been able to control his thoughts or influence his judgment, but she did it. Why did self-control and restraint become vulnerable in front of her?
The heart suddenly became bored, and Lu Yuzhou wiped his face, not wanting to worry about this uncontrollable mood anymore.
But as soon as he closed his eyes, the sound of water flowing from the bath made him unable to calm down. He wanted to rush in and let her show her most moving demeanor for herself again...
"Bang."
The big hand clenched into a fist and smashed it hard. A hole was smashed into the wooden hollow bed, and the fist that was smashed out was full of blood.
Lu Yuzhou sat up irritably, pressing his elbows against the damaged enclosure, and his handsome face was confused.
After taking a shower, Baoshan dragged her tired body back to Dongle. Seeing A Sheng, wrapped in a satin quilt, playing with Bu Laohu, gentle: "It's time to sleep."
A Sheng was wearing a red pocket embroidered with a deer, revealing his fleshy arms, and said to Baoshan: "It's time for the little tiger to sleep."
Baoshan sat on the edge of the bed, rubbed his head, "A Sheng and Xiao Hu sleep together."
As soon as he saw his mother approaching, A Sheng raised his butt and crawled towards her, "Hug her."
After being picked by Lu Yuzhou, Baoshan was overwhelmed and pushed her son into the quilt. "Mom is not very comfortable, A Sheng sleeps by herself tonight."
A Sheng hurriedly reached out to cover her forehead, and said with concern like a little adult: "Do you have a fever?"
Baoshan took away his son's hand and hugged him, "Mom is fine, but Mom is a little tired and needs rest."
When A Sheng heard this, he immediately lay inside, hugged the cloth tiger and closed his eyes, and was so obedient and sensible.
Blowing out the candle, Baoshan lay on the outside, patting her son gently, "Let's wait a little longer, grandpa will come to pick us up soon."
It has been more than a month since the last time I met with two female secret guards, and they should be about to find the husband.
Baoshan silently looked forward to the day of reunion.
Sister Mu, you are my cousin. I miss you so much, but where are you now...
The moon is bright and the stars are sparse. Lu Yuzhou put on a white robe and walked out of the main room. He stood beside the old tree in the courtyard with his hands in his arms, listening to the spy's report.
"Reported to the Prime Minister, after being investigated by Bei Zhi and following Ji Xiao's whereabouts, he has been able to confirm that the master behind Ji Xiao is King Chen of Li Jun, and the prince was trapped by King Chen of the East Border. The situation is not very good..."
The old Chen king of Li County, the father of King Chen, once dominated the country. He was the brother of the late emperor's son and the only king of different surnames who could be inherited from the title. He made great military achievements for the court. After King Chen left the world, his eldest son inherited the title and commanded 700,000 soldiers. He instantly became the youngest among the nine kings of different surnames.
At the beginning, Duke Xiang and Prime Minister Mu had tried hard to persuade the late emperor to take back his fiefdom and only retain his title. However, the late emperor was concerned about the merits of his old friends and did not listen to his opinions, which led to the continuous expansion of the power of Xiaochen King, which was a disaster for raising a tiger.
It is worth mentioning that Xiao Chen has a sister who entered the palace to be a concubine, and she was the biological mother of the ninth prince Zhao Che.
After listening to the spy's words, Lu Yuzhou turned the jade ring on his thumb. He remembered that when the prince had just disappeared, several princes were fighting openly and secretly for the position of crown prince. Only Zhao Che was doing good deeds and righteousness and spared no effort to find the prince. Unexpectedly, his uncle was the mastermind behind the disappearance of the prince!
The spy asked for instructions: "Care you have any further instructions?"
"You can return to Li County as soon as possible and find a way to get into the Chen Prince's Mansion and approach the crown prince. If..." Lu Yuzhou sighed almost imperceptibly, "If the crown prince is in a bad situation, you must get evidence from the crown prince that Chen's abuse of the royal family and plotted rebellion."
Who is Zhao Yi?
How could a genius among men be restrained by others for nothing? As long as he has not become a fool, he can retain some of the evidence, which is enough to make the court famous.
Of course, if one can take down King Chen without losing one soldier, that is the best way.
What Lu Yuzhou was most worried about was not King Chen's military strength, but the real purpose of King Chen's imprisonment of the prince, as well as his spies and forces everywhere.
Take Ji Xiao for example. Just so-called spiritual medicine can win people's hearts. If King Chen has dozens or hundreds of talents like Ji Xiao under his command, the country's fortune will inevitably be severely damaged.
Lu Yuzhou said, "Come."
A row of black-clad guards knelt down and said, "Prince, please give me instructions!"
Lu Yuzhou turned around and looked at the lightly bright sky in the east, "Immediately send someone to take Ji Xiao down and torture him to confess."
"promise!"
"Also," Lu Yuzhou's expression did not change, "Catch up with the Ninth Prince's convoy, bring him back, and guard him strictly."
Everyone was shocked.
"Prince thought twice!"
The Ninth Prince is a nobleman. Without the instructions of the official, how dare the guards offend him at will...
The moist eyes were filled with solemn death, and Lu Yuzhou said lightly: "I am a guarantee of my life and life. I will order you to go and do it immediately!"
In Lu Yuzhou's view, Zhao Che was not aware of the fact that King Chen wanted to commit rebellion, but no matter what, he would have to be placed under house arrest first.
If King Chen raised an army and wanted to block the world, he would definitely not be the emperor himself. At that time, he would probably support a prince to ascend the throne and become the regent who holds the emperor to command the princes. The only prince he could use and trust is Zhao Che.
In another city, Zhao Che was furious when he looked at the guards who showed his sword at him. For the first time in his life, he removed the disguise of the fox's smile and showed a solemn expression. "You are offending the prince, so bold, aren't you afraid that this prince will go back and participate in you one by one to your father's place?!"
After receiving Lu Yuzhou's order, even if he was in a hurry to get rid of a tiger, the guards had to bite the bullet and imprison him. "I was ordered by the Prime Minister and asked Your Highness to stay. If there is any offense, I hope your Highness will forgive you."
Zhao Che slapped the table hard, "Let Lu Yuzhou come to see me!"
"The Prime Minister has something to do, so he cannot come. Please calm down his anger."
Without knowing what he had made, he was imprisoned by Lu Yuzhou for freedom. Zhao Che raised the table and smiled charmingly: "Tell Lu Yuzhou that if you don't give me a satisfactory explanation, I will settle the accounts with him sooner or later."
As the people were quiet, Lu Yuzhou wrote a letter and sent him 800 miles to send him back to the Da Nei Palace in a hurry. He reported the whole story to the official family and suggested that the official family interrogate the Concubine De and Xian'er secretly, and not be alerted. He sent additional personnel to Li County to rescue the prince.
After seeing off the messenger, Lu Yuzhou leaned on the back of the chair and thought about the disappearance of the prince and Mu Yao back then. Now it seems that the speculation that he did not go on a business trip was not accidental, but was sent by King Chen to deliberately do it. The whereabouts of the prince have been found out. So, was Mu Yao also captured by King Chen and went to the eastern border?
If that were the case, could a girl’s family still keep her innocence?
Thinking of Mu Yao's bold and fearless appearance, Lu Yuzhou tightened the armrest of the ring chair, and his nails turned white.
When Zhao Che was brought to the small house by the guards, there was a blood mark on his face, which added a hint of charm to Shili's face. The young man sat opposite Lu Yuzhou with a cold face, "Lu Zijun, don't think you can do whatever you want if you are a prime minister. If your father knows that you imprisoned this prince, you will definitely be punished for your crime of disobeying the royal family!"
Compared to his anger, Lu Yuzhou seemed much more indifferent. He raised his hand to push him a cup of tea and a pile of letters, and did not beat around the bush and directly informed him of the imprisonment of the prince of Chen.
"Concubine De and King Chen are siblings. When King Chen is truly disobedient, they will inevitably implicate the nine clans."
Looking at the letters sealed with the official seal of Dali Temple, Zhao Che became stupid.
In vain, my uncle was the culprit in finding the prince!
The boy slapped the table, "I and my mother don't know about this. You speak to me in this way and tone, and do you believe that we are accomplices of our mother and son?!"
Lu Yuzhou sipped a sip of tea and his face was calm, "Then it depends on your highness to clear it."
"The pure one will be clear!"
"I advise Your Highness not to act irritably."
Although among his peers, he is still young in front of the scheming fox. Zhao Che gathered his heart and asked, "How to be clear? My mother has always been honest and honest. This prince doesn't want this to affect her."
"When ripples appear on the lake, the fallen leaves floating on it are not affected." Lu Yuzhou wrote a letter and said calmly, "The only way for Your Highness to save himself is to destroy his relatives for justice."
These four words hit the boy's heart heavily.
As soon as King Chen fell, he and his mother had no power to rely on. They would inevitably be trampled into the soil in the harem, so how could they fight for the throne? If they didn't do this, even the possibility of survival was slim.
Zhao Che fell down in the ring chair and fell into a painful choice.
Knowing that he needed time to digest it, Lu Yuzhou got up, patted his shoulder, and strode away from the west.
To be continued...
