042 Assassins
Feeling Xiao Yao's movements, He Yu hugged Xiao Yao tighter, "Still a little scared, right?" ”
"Hmm." Xiao Yao didn't hide it from him, "You live in such an environment every day? ”
"No, assassination can't happen every day. They don't have that many people to consume. He Yu sneered, "After all, it's not easy to cultivate a killer. ”
"That means there will still be?"
"There will definitely be, the capital, it will definitely not be as peaceful as other places."
"However, a prince died in the capital for no reason, and he is still the emperor's most favored person, so no one will doubt it?" Xiao Yao was puzzled.
"It's too simple to make up a reason for such a violent death, and you don't know what the emperor thinks, right?" He Yu pretended to be relaxed, pinched Xiao Yao's nose, and said.
Although the tone was relaxed, the words that came out were terrifying, Xiao Yao's eyes widened, "You mean to say, could it be the emperor's ......?"
He Yu paused for a moment, but he didn't deny it, he tidied up Xiao Yao's hair before saying, "You are my daughter-in-law, so I don't want to hide it from you, this place in the capital seems to be singing and dancing, but the undercurrent surging under these gorgeous and peaceful appearances is not something anyone can imagine, all we can do is to try our best to protect ourselves." ”
The whole room fell silent for a while, Xiao Yao was surprised that He Yu actually told her about these things so thoroughly, but when she turned her head and thought about it, it was actually as it should be, otherwise how could she cooperate with him in the future when she didn't know anything?
Since she is a princess, she must have the consciousness of being a princess, and the so-called wife's social affairs should be a common principle in ancient and modern Chinese and foreign social circles, only if she knows the various ways in these, she can cooperate with him well, isn't it?
However, despite thinking so, she frowned and said, "I'm so tired." ”
"What?" He Yu was also a little dazed when he suddenly heard Xiao Yao say such a sentence.
"I mean, it's tiring to live like this."
He Yu laughed, "Then you say, how about not being tired?" ”
"In life, it is natural to live freely, either idyllic and self-sufficient, or to set foot in the great rivers and mountains of the motherland. The body moves with the heart, the mood is smooth, frank and open, and there is wine as a song, this is a happy life. Xiao Yao shook her head and said.
"You, you really have a bit of Wei Jin style," He Yu said helplessly.
"Don't you think so?"
"Of course, this is good, but people in the rivers and lakes can't help themselves. There are always some things that you can't decide by yourself. He Yu looked at Xiao Yao helplessly, "Now your husband and I just can't help ourselves, you know?" ”
"The so-called self-help, but there are some things that you are reluctant to give up." Xiao Yao pursed her lips and said.
In exchange for a moment of silence from He Yu, Xiao Yao saw that He Yu didn't speak, did she say too much today? Just as he was about to say something, He Yu spoke, "You're right, you can't help yourself, there are indeed some things that can't be put down." ”
"Then ...... you" Xiao Yao looked at He Yu with shining eyes, "Then should we ......?"
"Not yet," He Yu interrupted Xiao Yao's words with a smile and said, "I do have something to do now, and when the time comes, I will take you, let's go back to the mountains and forests, and live a life at will." I'll take you, with our children, to the great rivers and mountains of this country, okay? ”
"Really?!" Xiao Yao was pleasantly surprised, "You must not lie to me!" ”
"Of course, I won't lie to you." He Yu patted Xiao Yao on the back.
The two of them were whispering when they heard someone outside whispering, "Lord Wang, someone has been caught, but he has committed suicide...... The subordinates are incompetent, and the prince will punish them alone! ”
The man didn't come in, he was a shadow guard, and he usually didn't show people in front of anyone other than the prince, so he reported directly through the door, but Xiao Yao could see the person kneeling down against the backdrop of the candle flame.
He Yu chuckled, "If you can really ask something so lightly, then you are not an assassin." Alright, I can't blame you for this, you can go down. ”
"Yes, my subordinates thank the prince for his grace." After speaking, he withdrew without further words.
Xiao Yao's eyes widened, and she just looked at the figure of a person and disappeared by the door in an instant, "So fast!" Xiao Yao exclaimed, He Yu smiled, "This is my shadow guard, there is also a secret guard on the prince's side, he has been trained since he was a child, and he is naturally very fast." ”
"Oh." Xiao Yao nodded, Ying Wei knew that she had watched everything in TV dramas and movies since she was a child, and these people had their own set of very strict training methods, and they were also very cruel, so she didn't ask anymore.
He Yu looked at the sky outside, "It's almost dawn, can you sleep for a while?" ”
"If you don't sleep, you won't be able to sleep when you wake up." Xiao Yao shook her head, "Talk to me for a while." ”
She knew that at this time, even if the assassin was caught, there was no guarantee that there would be other assassins ambushed around, so He Yu was not worried that she would stay alone in the house, so she simply said so.
Sure enough, He Yu heard Xiao Yao say this, and readily agreed, "What do you want to talk about?" ”
"Well, let's talk about the saint today, what kind of person is he?" Xiao Yao asked curiously, after all, after getting married, she will definitely go to meet the emperor, and it is not too much to find out in advance.
He Yu frowned and thought for a while, and said, "Actually, I can't say, he is a very complicated person, but for the people and the country, he is also a good emperor, at least the people are peaceful and peaceful, isn't it?" ”
"Well, yes," Xiao Yao does not deny this, with the emergence of today's peaceful and prosperous times, Xiao Yao naturally heard Xiao's father and mother mention that if it weren't for the emperor opening a few treaty ports and reducing some taxes, their Xiao family would naturally not be able to get rich so quickly.
"But for the courtiers, it is inevitable suspicion, the emperor is suspicious, presumably this is a common problem when the emperor." He Yu smiled.
Xiao Yao nodded thoughtfully, after all, he is in a high position, how many people covet the dragon chair under his buttocks, if he is not careful, then there is really no more, the height is unbearable, how can he not be suspicious?
"What about the Prince? What kind of person is the prince? Xiao Yao continued to ask.
"Prince, ......" He Yu smiled, "The prince is the second prince today, the mother concubine is the late Empress Zhuang Hui, the prince is dignified and calm, and can also take care of the overall situation. ”
"It seems that you are very loyal to the crown prince." Xiao Yao said with a smile.
