Sweet Beauty

Liu Xiu remained silent, his eyes were deep and unpredictable, he stared at her for a moment, his expression softened slightly.

Even if his elder brother has no time to take care of his family, he should understand the temperament of his younger sister. Liu Zhao is indeed a bit eccentric, and she has an undisguised disgust for Zhao Ji, but she is only thirteen this year, and she is simple and straightforward.

"Forget it, Ah Zhao, I didn't say you did this." He looked sideways at Ajaan, who was kneeling in a state of embarrassment, "However, this maid acted recklessly, not only instigating Zheng Nv to poison the queen, but also blaming you. Unforgivable."

Liu Zhao was stunned: "Why, how could it be? Ajaan, is someone else trapping you?" She turned to Liu Jiu, "Brother, Ajaan has been with me when I was in Dongjun, it's been a few years, she's definitely not that kind of person. !"

A Jiang's face was ashen, and he knew that he couldn't hide, and he lowered his head and admitted, "The young lady, A Zhao, is indeed the work of the maid." In the darkness, there was a little pain on her face, which seemed to be unspeakable. , and bowed to Liu Zhao, "The young lady has a good heart. Although she doesn't like the queen, she has never had any bad thoughts. It's just that the maid doesn't look down on it and makes up her own mind."

After she finished speaking, she kowtowed to Liu Yu again: "This matter was done by the maid alone, and has nothing to do with others. Your Majesty, don't blame the young master."

The voice fell, and without waiting for everyone to react, he slammed into the pillar of the corridor, and he fell to the ground in an instant.

Everyone was horrified, especially Liu Zhao, who was very young, but seeing this scene in person, he couldn't help but screamed and fainted on the spot.

Liu Xiu quickly supported the person with his eyes and hands, so he settled down and came out of the house at the rear. He looked at the servants who were busy cleaning up the traces outside, and a thought flashed in his eyes. Of course he wouldn't believe what Ajaan said just now. If there is no one behind the instructions, how can an ordinary maid have such ability and scheming?

But, in this huge letter palace, who else has such deep hatred with Zhao Ji?

A thought flashed in his mind, and his face was cloudy and uncertain. He summoned Liu Ji, explained a few words softly, and walked away quickly.

…

As the rooster crowed, Guo Qu lingered at the palace gate for a long time, and was finally summoned again.

As soon as he entered, he saw several guards carrying a woman out. The woman was in a coma, her hair was disheveled, the words "slander" and "slander" were tattooed on her left and right cheeks, and bloodstains could be faintly seen beside Wu Qing's handwriting, looking horribly embarrassed.

This woman is the maid who falsely accused the queen at the banquet.

Guo Qu's eyelids jumped, and he quickly stopped him and asked, "Where are you going?"

As soon as the guard saw it was him, he stopped and said respectfully, "Your Majesty has an order to present this girl to Zheng Ji to see her as a punishment."

Guo Qu's heart tightened, and he quickly waved his hands to signal them to leave.

Zheng Nv was the daughter of Weng Zhu and could not be punished, so the king was shocked by this girl, thinking that he was really angry. Liu Yanshou and Zheng Xu would not be willing to hand over Zheng's daughter to their disposal. The price of this may only be repaid with the strength of the whole country.

In the hall, Liu Yu's expression turned cold, and as soon as he saw Guo Qu, he asked, "Jun Qing, is everything alright?"

Guo Qu took out the bamboo tube from his sleeve and handed it to him.

Liu Yu took out the bamboo slips and swept them away, then sneered: "Everything is ready, Liu Yanshou must obey today."

…

However, it was said that Liu Yanshou and Zheng Xu were pacing back and forth in the house at the moment, looking at each other and frowning.

The palace servants treated him very politely. He was given a quilt bed, drinks, food, and everything. However, since the two of them knew what happened today, how could they sleep peacefully after Zheng Donglan had provoked him?

Especially Fang Cai, Liu Xiu even sent the tattooed woman to watch, and even taught them to feel restless.

What does Liu Xiu mean? Do they really want them to hand over Zheng Donglan and be punished like a maid? How is this possible?

Zheng Donglan regretted the beginning. A few days ago, when she sent someone to secretly go to Wuzhu Temple to ask for medicine, she had her cousin Liu Anxin, and his words were obscure, only to persuade her to sit up straight. Relying on Liu An's ignorance, she listened to the slanderous words of the maid named Ajaan, and she did not restrain herself from the precipice, but now it has caused a catastrophe.

She looked at the unconscious maid, terrified and terrified, for fear that she would also end up like this, so she fell to her knees at her father and uncle, and cried, "Alan knows it's wrong, he was really provoked by an adulterer. I've only been fascinated by ghosts for a while... Uncle, father, please help me—"

After all, it is his own flesh and blood, Zheng Xu immediately softened his heart, lifted his daughter up and promised: "Alan, your mother and I are only your daughter, even if we risk our lives, we will not let you end up like this!"

On the other hand, Liu Yanshou was stunned in his heart and remained silent. Although he also loves this niece, she is not his biological daughter after all. Right now, he has some pity, but he is more angry. If it is Zheng Donglan, it seems that it is not worth it to have a bad relationship with Liu Yu.

The atmosphere was a bit stagnant for a while, Zheng Xu's father and daughter both looked at Liu Yanshou eagerly, just waiting for him to express his position.

Liu An naturally understood his father's thoughts, so he could only reluctantly comfort him: "When the incident happened, I took the initiative to hand over the antidote, and my cousin also took the initiative to confess that King Xiao has a reputation of benevolence, and since the queen is fine, my cousin should not tortured like this."

He was helpless in the face of this situation.

On that day, after he discovered the trace of his cousin's actions, he sent another person to the Wuzhu Temple to ask for the antidote. Although he didn't know what his cousin wanted to do, he had a bad guess in his heart. After thinking about it again and again, he finally sent someone to quietly deliver a message to the letter palace. She is careful.

Unfortunately, none of them were made.

Now in this situation, I am afraid that a country will pay a big price.

The four of them were like ants in a hot pot, but when they heard a noise outside the door, it was Liu Jiu.

I saw him pushing the door and entering, his face was stern, he no longer had the usual warm smile, and his sharp eyes glanced at Zheng Donglan, who was sobbing, making her tremble more and more like a sieve, and dared not raise her eyes again.

"This woman slandered, everyone has seen the end." With his hands behind his back, he glared at the four of them, so he did a roundabout way and went straight to the subject, "But I don't know Zheng Ji's crime, what should I do?"

The four of them were all stunned. Zheng Donglan used to only regard Liu Yu as a gentle, gentle and tolerant gentleman. He didn't want him to have such a cold and compelling side. Forgive me, my concubine knows I'm wrong!"

Liu Yu looked down at her for a moment, clenched his hands behind his back, suddenly put on a gentle smile, and turned to look at Liu Yanshou and Zheng Xu: "Zheng Ji is Weng's lord daughter, and Weng lord and I are of the same clan, so I won't be too harsh. ." Just when the few people breathed a sigh of relief, he changed the topic, "Since Zheng Ji believes in witches, she might as well stay in the temple from now on and concentrate on her practice."

"No!" Zheng Donglan was at a loss for a moment, and when she realized what he meant, she suddenly screamed and rushed into Zheng Xu's arms, "Father, I don't want it!"

If she really entered the temple, where would there be a family of princes and scholars who could look up to her in the future? The marriage of this life, I am afraid that it will come to an end.

Zheng Xu was also furious, and he ignored etiquette.

Even Liu Yanshou, who was hesitant just now, also felt that this kind of treatment was too heavy, and shook his head and said, "Aren't you afraid that you will be my enemy from now on?"

Right now, although Liu Yu had some prestige, in the end, he had only a mere 30,000 to 50,000 soldiers, while Zhending had 100,000 soldiers and horses. In any case, he should not make enemies easily.

Unexpectedly, when Liu Yu heard the words, his smile became more and more genial.

"Everyone has been in my trust for a long time. I'm afraid you still don't know it? Zhongshan and Julu are planning to unite and raise troops to attack the small country."

With that said, he took out the military newspaper he had just picked up from Guo Qu, and handed it over directly.

Liu Yanshou, Liu An, and Zheng Xu were stunned, they quickly took out the bamboo slips and looked at them carefully, and they were instantly shocked! Xue Shang, the governor of Julu County, heard that Zhending was in alliance with Liu Yu, intending to attack Julu on both sides, so he took advantage of the fact that there was no one in the country, and joined He Tai, the governor of Zhongshan County, and raised a total of 80,000 soldiers and horses to surround Zhending. .

"When is Gu going to hit Julu—" Liu Yanshou's eyes were splitting, he suddenly recalled it, glared at Liu Yu and said, "It's you! You little man, the news of walking outside! I really misunderstood you! "

Liu Yu didn't show any anger at this moment, Shi Shiran walked to the couch and sat down: "I was also very willing to form an alliance with Zhending, but I said that I didn't intend to marry, but you have repeatedly forced me to do so. , In desperation, this is the only way to do it." Before Liu Yanshou could speak, he added, "Besides, I knew that there were soldiers and horses in the sky, but there were no good generals."

He clarified what Liu Yanshou and Zheng Xu had in mind in one word, causing the two to change their expressions.

Really set the primary school, relying on the drastic changes in the world in the past few years, it has recruited a lot of refugee skirmishers, but it is not a good general who can train and use troops. When there is no war, you can still bluff others to protect yourself, but once you get caught in a war, you will be vulnerable. It was for this reason that Liu Yanshou and Zheng Xu were eager to find a trustworthy person to turn to.

Liu Yu had noticed this for a long time, but he was not very sure. Until now, seeing the expressions of the two, he knew that his guess was good. If he had never married a wife before, he might have made plans this time around, marrying Zheng's daughter first, and bringing in his army and horses under his command, and then taking a long-term plan.

But since he was forced to marry a wife, he felt unwilling to repeat the same mistakes and be persecuted. Using women as bargaining chips to make things happen is not what a man does.

He stopped talking, and said coldly: "The words have been made clear, time is short, everyone decides."

After all, get up and leave.

…

In the bedroom, after Liu Yu left, Ah Shu tossed and slept through the night, got up early the next morning, and went to visit Queer first.

Queer was beaten by that gangster yesterday, but luckily she didn't hurt her vital point, she only fainted for a while, and she woke up after acupuncture by a medical worker. Now, although her forehead is swollen, she can move freely.

Seeing that she was safe and sound, Ah Shu breathed a sigh of relief. She went to the couch to hold her hand and said, "Fortunately, you are fine, Queer, I really wronged you."

Queer smiled naively, and because she was occasionally dizzy, she didn't dare to shake her head, so she waved her hand and said, "It's okay, I'm rough and fleshy, and it's very forbidden to beat. Besides, I'm very clever, that person only beats a little, I'll go first. Pretending to be dizzy, I have suffered a lot less."

Ah Shu knew that she was comforting herself, but she still felt guilty.

Queer looked around and saw that there was no one in the room, Fang approached, and whispered out the doubts that had been held in her heart for a long time: "Ashu, I don't understand, obviously the prince has secretly handed a letter, why didn't Ashu take precautions beforehand? "

A Shu smiled slightly, with shallow dimples on her cheeks: "Why didn't you set up your defenses in advance? Didn't I want you to see that the prince did come with you before leaving the palace?"

The author has something to say: I don't know if I can write the second update today, and now there are only 1,000 words. If I don't update it before twelve o'clock, I will make it up tomorrow morning, because I have to go to work tonight.
