Chapter 94 Who Says Women Are Not as Good as Men (19)
"What did you ask her to do?"
Xiao Jingshun stopped coughing and looked downcast.
Rong Qiqi: "I am just reminding your majesty that Concubine Shu is still Lord Wu's daughter after all. Before the matter is resolved, I hope... your majesty will not touch her."
Xiao Jingshun didn't say yes or no. He asked Rong Qiqi another question: "Am I such a violent and impulsive person in the mind of the Imperial Master?"
Rong Qiqi said in her heart without hesitation: "Otherwise."
Although Rong Qiqi's face remained calm, Xiao Jingshun got the answer from her eyes. He was a little aggrieved and turned away, "I didn't touch her. I kept her under house arrest in Huachen Palace. Except for you and me,
, no one knows what happened.”
Rong Qiqi twitched the corner of his mouth. Xiao Jingshun seemed to have forgotten that there was a fourth person at the dinner table, "Your Majesty, Mr. Yu was also there yesterday."
"Then what should we do? Why not silence her? To avoid future troubles."
You said you are not cruel and impulsive?
Xiao Jingshun also thought of this and took back his words angrily.
Say Cao Cao and Cao Cao will be here.
Xu Hun's voice came over again, "Master, Yu Tao came to see me and told me to steal the list of old troops from Wu Shuanglin's hand, otherwise I will tell the world about Wu Luo and Concubine Shu."
Why is there another one?
Rong Qiqi said to Xiao Jingshun, "I will take care of Yu Tao's side."
While Rong Qiqi was doing things, Xiao Jingshun was relieved and looked at Rong Qiqi's back as he turned and left, "Where are you going?"
"Wu Mansion."
After Rong Qiqi's clothes were removed from his eyes, Xiao Jingshun turned into a serious person again. He summoned Deliang and "delivered an order to the Huachen Palace."
Yu Yuan was arrested, and someone reported that Juquanlou was harboring traitors from the previous dynasty, catching them off guard.
There are all the witnesses and material evidence, and Yu Tao can't save them either.
Not long after Yu Tao took office, her foundation was weak, and those people were eager to see her jokes. She was isolated and helpless in the court, and she could only rely on herself to save Yu Yuan.
Yu Yuan and the former minister he contacted are now imprisoned in Dali Temple and will be interrogated by the three divisions tomorrow. The official in charge of this case happens to be Wu Shuanglin's protégé, but Wu Shuanglin has not introduced her to Qian Fangyi for a long time. She is suspected of informing him.
Yu Yuan's man is that old fox Wu Shuanglin.
Today Yu Tao is going to settle a score with this old fox.
Wu Shuanglin saw Yu Tao's face turned purple with anger, and immediately felt that the Junshan Silver Needle in the tea cup was particularly fragrant, "Master Yu, don't be anxious, your fourth brother can't run away, why not sit down and have a cup of tea first? This is the best."
Junshan Yin——"
"Wow--"
"Ah - Yu Tao, is there something wrong with your brain? How dare you pour tea on my head? You are committing the following crime!"
Wu Shuanglin's old face was turned red from the heat, and several blisters appeared around his face, making him very embarrassed.
He wants to kill Yu Tao!
Yu Tao's face was like marble, hard and cold, "Oh, Wu Shuanglin, do you think I'm a soft persimmon who can be manipulated? Let me tell you, if anything happens to my fourth brother, everyone in the Wu family must help him.
Buried with him! If we die together, we will die together!"
Wu Shuanglin thought that with Rong Qiqi helping him, he would not be afraid of a little girl like Yu Tao.
"Do you think it's great to have those cipher messages in your hand? Mr. Dianzhou, who helped me design the cipher messages, has been reincarnated long ago, and now he is dead with no evidence. Do you think the emperor will believe a little girl's film, or will he believe me?"
Yu Tao's heart trembled.
She clearly hid that person...
Wu Shuanglin saw Yu Tao's face turn gray. He wiped the tea leaves on his face and said with a relaxed look, "Little girl, don't tell me that I am crossing the river and burning the bridge. If it weren't for the sake of you suppressing the secret message for me, now you
I'm afraid I'll be tortured by those people in Dali Temple too."
"Listen to my advice and let go. It's important to save your life."
Yu Tao clenched her fist tightly, her nails dug into the flesh of her palm, and blood dripped from the cracks in her fist to the ground. After a while, a pool of blood flowed from Yu Tao's feet.
She kept asking herself in her mind: What should I do? How should I save my fourth brother? Is there really no way out?
No, Yu Tao, you can do it, you can definitely think of a way, think quickly! Think quickly!
Wu Shuanglin, Qian Fangyi, Xiao Jiangze, Xiao Jingshun, Yu Yuan... these names filled her mind.
She is not defeated yet!
If she uses the trump card in her hand well, Yu Yuan still has a glimmer of hope.
Yu Tao put her bleeding hands behind her back. The panic she had just now disappeared, replaced by contempt and ridicule.
The control of this situation is still in her hands, Yu Tao.
Wu Shuanglin frowned visibly, and Yu Tao suddenly seemed to be a different person.
If Yu Tao still retained a trace of youthfulness before today, then she seems to be reborn from the blood now, and she also behaves unexpectedly calmly, as if she has a game of chess in her heart.
"Master Wu, I heard that Concubine Shu and Young Master Wu have a very close relationship." Yu Tao held a cup of hot tea in her hand and brought it to Wu Shuanglin's eyes with one hand, closing the distance between the two of them without speaking loudly.
But Wu Shuanglin was shocked and enlightened, "It goes beyond the intimacy between an aunt and a nephew."
Wu Shuanglin's beard started to tremble, his lips trembled, and it took him a long time to say: "You...you..."
Yu Tao put the hot tea cup in Wu Shuanglin's hand, "By the way, I almost forgot to tell you that the emperor was also gathering in the building yesterday, and I had the honor to have dinner with the emperor. It was such a coincidence-"
"Young Master Wu is also here. We had a great time chatting with each other. The Emperor even fell in love with Young Master Wu at the first sight."
The more frequent Wu Shuanglin's face spasmed, the more excited Yu Tao became, "Guess what they said? Young Master Wu, your grandson, actually begged the Emperor to help him bring a small gadget to Concubine Shu."
"Master Wu, you made that gadget yourself."
Yu Tao sent someone to inquire about the pair of bracelets. They were originally Wu Shuanglin's betrothal gift, which could be regarded as a token of their deep love. Wu Shan and Shu Fei each had one. Before Wu Shan left home, he gave the bracelets to Shu Fei for safekeeping.
Concubine Shu and Wu Luo were secretly in love, so the bracelet fell into Wu Luo's hands.
Wu Shuanglin felt cold from head to toe, and his teeth kept chattering as he tried his best to absorb the heat from the hot tea cup.
He suddenly understood why Wu Luo stayed away all night and why he came back with injuries all over his body.
The emperor attacked them. The first one was Wu Luo, and the next one was either Concubine Shu or him.
This time it was Yu Tao's turn to appreciate Wu Shuanglin's ugliness.
She was not the only one admiring it, Xu Hun and Rong Qiqi, who were squatting in the corner and listening to the whole process, were also watching.
Xu Hun had to admire Rong Qiqi's vision in selecting people. Before Yu Tao found Wu Shuanglin, the first person she came to find was Wu Luo, but it was Wu Luo who was possessed by Xu Hun.
After Xu Hun used the Resentful Soul Yuanzhu to send a message to Rong Qiqi, Rong Qiqi sent a message on the road asking him not to agree to Yu Tao's request.
Yu Tao was isolated and helpless in the court, with only Wu Shuanglin's handle. In this case, instead of ordering Wu Luo to steal the list of old troops, it would be better to directly threaten Wu Shuanglin to use the rebel army.
Even though she knew that this was undoubtedly a last-ditch effort, she was already in a desperate situation and could only survive.
This is not only a test for Yu Tao, but also a trial for Wu Shuanglin.
If Yu Tao takes charge of the cabinet in the future, there will be as many people as possible who will be eyeing her. What's more, she is a woman, and there will be many dissatisfied people.
This time it was Yu Yuan, next time she might be targeted because of her husband, children, and husband's family.
Xu Hun saw Yu Tao's performance just now. Although Yu Tao came from behind, Wu Shuanglin was not a loser.
