Chapter 227 The emperor’s news, connecting the beginning and the end
In any case, Li Xiuzhu knew his weight in Du Sanniang's heart.
It's like a gift from God, and he also happened to give me a safety button similar to my mother's.
Who can refuse this?
Just when Du Sanniang was still immersed in sadness, Li Xiuzhu suddenly said: "You are tired, let's find an inn to rest."
"Guest, inn?" Du Sanniang stared at the "anxious" Li Xiuzhu dumbfounded. She didn't know how he said such embarrassing words. It's not that he didn't deny it to you, but is it really okay for you to say this? I just said
Are you so moved?
Although Du Sanniang secretly scolded Li Xiuzhu for being straight, she hesitated for a while and finally agreed.
"Okay, okay."
Li Xiuzhu seemed to have noticed that Du Sanniang had misunderstood him, but he did not explain, but took Du Sanniang to book a room at an inn not far away.
Glancing at the shady back alley, Li Xiuzhu handed Du Sanniang a robe.
"Put on, let's go."
"Walk……?"
As if she didn't expect this answer, Du Sanniang continued subconsciously: "You didn't come to sleep..."
"Well, it's okay!"
As if she realized that she had said what was in her heart, Du Sanniang quickly stopped.
Du Sanniang blushed and cursed herself for thinking nonsense.
Yes, she had already delivered it to my door.
After reaching the back alley from the window, Li Xiuzhu did not go out directly, but bypassed the inn and a cloth shop before exiting through another street.
When they arrived at Qinglong Street, they entered Yunzhu Tower.
As expected by Li Xiuzhu, Huanwan has arrived.
Huan Huan was happy when she saw Li Xiuzhu, but before she could make any move, she saw Du Sanniang behind Li Xiuzhu.
"Du Sanniang, why are you here?"
Du Sanniang was startled, looked at Huan Huan's extremely plain appearance, looked at Li Xiuzhu and asked, "Is this Huan Huan?"
She remembered that Huanwan was extremely beautiful. What was going on?
"Disguise?"
Li Xiuzhu nodded, looked at Hanhan and said, "Master may not be at home every day. In the future, when I am gone, Sanniang will contact you."
Li Xiuzhu said and looked at Du Sanniang.
"In the future, if I am not at home and Cuiyun tells you that there are red flowers on the tree outside the door, you will come to see Hanhan."
"If there is something important, we will discuss it based on Huan Huan's matters."
When Du Sanniang heard what Li Xiuzhu said, she looked at Li Xiuzhu and asked, "Why me?"
This was not only Du Sanniang's curiosity, but also Huan Huan's.
Li Xiuzhu said: "Although there is no one left in the family, you are the only one who is decisive, strong in martial arts, and has some experience in strength management, Xihonglei."
"It's not convenient for Honglei to come forward, so you are the best choice."
That's not what Du Sanniang asked.
"Well, that's not what I asked."
"This matter should be important, right? I mean why did you choose to believe me."
"As your woman, Xi Honglei is more worthy of trust."
Li Xiuzhu smiled when he heard this.
"If you didn't take the initiative to repay your kindness, I wouldn't believe you."
"But you still take the initiative to repay your kindness when you can obviously do nothing. I think I can trust you."
Du Sanniang had a look of joy on her face when she heard this.
"Thank you, you are very discerning. Don't worry, I will definitely not betray your trust."
Li Xiuzhu smiled and turned to look at Hanhan.
"Huanhan, why are you so anxious to find the master?"
After hearing this, Huanwan immediately came back to her senses, looked at Li Xiuzhu and said, "Master, I got an accurate message..."
"Your Majesty, she may not live long."
Hearing this sentence, Li Xiuzhu was startled, and then all the mysteries lingering in his mind were solved.
It turns out that Li Kuo's life was short-lived. No wonder he didn't depose the prince. No wonder he wanted to pave the way for the prince and get rid of himself.
"How much time is left?"
"The imperial doctor said it can be delayed for about six months, but His Majesty told him there is still five months."
"Okay, I understand!"
Now that the clues have been sorted out, the rest is easy.
Li Xiuzhu did not stay long, and after parting ways with Huan Huan, he took Du Sanniang back to the inn again.
He is an ordinary person on the surface now. It would be troublesome if he disappeared quietly under Li Kuo's surveillance.
What Li Xiuzhu didn't expect was that as soon as he returned home, an unexpected guest came to his house.
"Father-in-law, why bother you to go there in person?"
"If you have anything to do with me, just let me know."
The visitor was none other than his old father-in-law Fu Wenhan.
Fu Wenhan smiled and shook his head: "As a father, it's good to take a walk when you have nothing to do."
"By the way, is Yuehua pregnant?"
Li Xiuzhu hesitated. Are you here to encourage the baby?
Did you escape the urge to get married, but not the urge to have a baby?
"Well, father-in-law, Yuehua and I are still young."
"You may not know that if a woman is under 18, she may have difficulty in giving birth."
"So I plan to wait until the eighteenth day of the moon."
Fu Wenhan didn't expect such a thing, and immediately became worried about his girl.
But when he thought of Li Xiuzhu's concubine in the courtyard, the corner of Fu Wenhan's mouth twitched slightly.
He pointedly said: "Yuehua is the legal wife after all. If Yuehua is not pregnant, other people's words will matter."
Li Xiuzhu immediately understood what Fu Wenhan meant.
"Father, don't worry, no matter if Yue Hua is born early or late, he will be the one who will inherit the family business."
Well, what I said is, well, he is a villain.
But there is no other way. If he doesn't think about his own daughter, why should he think about others?
"Ahem, I'm here this time because I actually want to ask you something."
Li Xiuzhu was startled, and then he thought that His Majesty was about to die soon. Then he thought about the Grand Canal, and thought that the Grand Canal would not be repaired.
"Grand Canal?"
Fu Wenhan was startled. He only said this in the morning. How did his son-in-law guess this?
Could it be that there is an spy from the son-in-law in the court?
Hiss~ You can’t go too far with this?
"Yes, Xiuzhu, what do you mean?"
Li Xiuzhu heard this and said: "Since Your Majesty is not going to build the Grand Canal, then don't build it."
"To be honest, building the Grand Canal is indeed a waste of time and money."
At this moment, Fu Wenhan knew that he was wrong. It seemed that his son-in-law had guessed it, and he guessed in the wrong direction.
Fu Wenhan shook his head and said, "It's not that I won't practice it anymore, it's just that His Majesty said he would only give it five months."
"Five months, Suzhou and Hangzhou are two thousand miles away from the capital."
"And this is the land transportation distance. If you want to open a canal from the capital to Suzhou and Hangzhou, it will be more than two thousand miles at least."
"Not to mention more than two thousand miles, it is difficult to become a father in five months and five hundred miles."
Li Xiuzhu nodded. You must know that it took Yang Guang six years to build the Grand Canal.
In five months, do you think his father-in-law is a god? Will he be able to create mountains when he encounters them? Do you think he will have an excavator in future generations?
Just when Li Xiuzhu was thinking this, he found his father-in-law staring at him.
Li Xiuzhu's heart suddenly skipped a beat and he was speechless...
