57. Painted skin
This night, almost everyone in the Zhao family didn't fall asleep, except for the big house, which was snoring for the second half of the night, which was very annoying. Zhao Zhizhou and his family are also big-hearted, knowing that their son ran into the house and cut off the tongue of the corpse, not only did they feel terrible, but they were also worried that their son would get dirty and get bad luck, so they picked a lot of grapefruit leaves for him to bathe and wipe his hands.
The next day, the old and young masters of the Zhao family gathered in the main courtyard again, and even the female dependents were present one by one, and they did not shy away from it.
The old lady ordered the servants to have breakfast, and in the name of keeping the children and grandchildren happy together, but in fact it was to seal the mouth. Men know the severity, so they naturally don't talk nonsense, but they are afraid that women will not keep the door open and make such ugly things out. He waved his hand for everyone to eat, and said quietly, "You remember, nothing happened last night, Zou died of illness and has been buri......ed."
Halfway through the words, Zhao Yulin's daughter-in-law Sun was not convinced, and choked up, "She died violently, what about the eldest brother?" He ran into our yard in the middle of the night to steal people, and this is the end of the matter? He continued to marry his princess, and be his concubine, so that my father-in-law would be the eighth king of the turtle? Bah! You're thinking so beautifully! β
Don't look at her usual strict discipline of Zhao Yulin, she will beat and abuse at every turn, but she will still protect the interests of the prime minister when it comes to the moment. Zhao Yulin pulled her sleeve, but he didn't say much to persuade her, and he was very angry when he thought about it.
The old lady slapped the table and said, "Then how are you going?" Publicize this matter, let Yusong eat and hang, and let our Zhao family be convicted? There are no eggs under the nest, you don't know this kind of truth, it's really a fool! I'm going to put my words here today, if anyone dares to chew the root of their tongue outside, the family law will serve! β
And when the people saw that he was really angry, they stopped. The quiet needle drop in a huge hall can be heard, and only the sound of Shu Suo Suo drinking porridge remains.
Seeing the young man who was eating happily, the old lady and the second master who had vomited all night turned green, and they wanted to scold him but didn't dare to open their mouths, and the picture of him cutting off the tongue of the corpse with an expressionless face would involuntarily appear in his mind. A few of his cousins, who had been laughing at him behind his back the day before, did not even dare to look at him now.
After drinking a bowl of porridge, Youshu remembered that the master asked him to enter the palace to accompany him, so he immediately pushed out the food placed in front of him, got up and left.
"What are you going to do? I'm not done yet! Now that you are in and out of the palace, the most important thing is to be cautious in your words and deeds, and don't cause trouble for the family......" The old lady reprimanded with a straight face.
Zhao Zhizhou, no, now you should call Zhao Shilang, also got up, and said disapprenously, "Dad, you have the kung fu to reprimand my son, it is better to teach Yusong to be a man." He stole everyone to his brother's house, it's not that we can treat it as if it didn't happen without talking about it. Fortunately, the princess has not yet entered the door, and if this happens again, will you still be able to hold on? "Throw up your sleeves and leave.
The old lady and the old lady were so angry that their heads were dizzy, but they couldn't, so they had to go.
When you Shu arrived at the Dedong Palace, she saw her master standing at the door to greet her, and then she remembered the many secret guards arranged by the other party at home. In other words, the guards must have told you about last night's events. The first thing he thought of was not the marriage between Zhao Yusong and Princess Mingzhu, nor whether the Zhao family would be guilty, but the scene where he cut off the monster's tongue.
He was startled, and hurriedly put his hands behind his back and walked over tremblingly. Does the master feel cruel? Will you turn away from me because of this? How do I explain this to him? The more he thought about it, the more anxious he became, his eyes suddenly turned red, his tears were misty, and his nose looked very pitiful.
The Nine Emperors' face changed greatly, and he hurriedly rushed up to grab him, and asked him again and again if he was being bullied.
Youshu is not ready to confess to her master. Now such a relaxed, pleasant, burden-free, and non-suspicious way of getting along is exactly what he dreamed of. He wanted to keep the joy and purity, even if it was short-lived. He shook his head, then shook his head again, his upper teeth biting his lower lip, looking more and more pitiful, and rubbing his hands behind his back as if there was something dirty on them.
After a little thought, the Nine Emperor Princes could guess what he was thinking. This little thing must be afraid that he will dislike him and be ruthless, right? He had learned from the secret guard about the incident that happened in Zhao's house yesterday, and he naturally knew why Youshu cut off Zou's tongue. To be honest, he doesn't feel cold-blooded, cruel, and behind the surface at all, on the contrary, he can fully understand his behavior pattern.
He's just naΓ―ve and evil.
Thinking of this, the Nine Emperors' hearts itched, and then he looked at the young man who was curled up in his arms, like a harmless little lamb, and he hated to eat him on the spot. He led the man into the inner sanctum, trapped himself in his arms, lowered his head to his lips, pried open the teeth that still bit his lower lip, and then hooked the tip of his powdery-tender-slippery tongue.
Youshu was startled, and then reflexively sucked Longjin, Zizi was very active, and his hands and feet were clinging to the master, like a koala. The Nine Emperors were stimulated by his greedy sucking, and their big palms covered the back of his head and kissed him deeper.
The two of them first stood, then sat on top of each other on top of each other, and then somehow rolled into the couch, and kissed for a few quarters of an hour, and if it were not for the hungry cooing, perhaps they would have kissed until they were old.
"You, you, you, you......" Youshu was hugged by the master, sitting on her lap, feeling the hard thing bouncing under the fart, and couldn't say a complete sentence for a long time. He was so frightened that he didn't know why his master would kiss him.
"I never knew you were a little stammer." The Nine Emperor Princes nodded his saliva-stained lips, stuffed the strands of silver into his mouth, and said in a dumb voice, "What are you, if you want to kiss me in the future, I will open my mouth directly, I will be happy to satisfy you whenever and wherever I am, and you don't always have to kiss me while I am asleep." β
Youshu's cheeks were red, her head was smoking, and she didn't know how to react at all. He was stunned for a while before he covered his face and burrowed into the quilt. I was caught stealing a kiss, don't mention the embarrassment.
The Nine Emperor Princes laughed loudly, carried him to the side hall, patted him, and said, "What are you ashamed of, I don't dislike you." Okay, come out, or breakfast will be cold. "I didn't say anything about last night.
Youshu struggled for a long time before crawling out of the quilt, picking up a large meat bun with her right hand, covering half of her face, and then hanging her head very low, hoping to bury it in the bowl. After a few bites, he secretly glanced at his master, and after a few bites, he glanced at it again, and suddenly his face was red, and suddenly his face turned white, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
The Nine Emperors laughed secretly until they were injured, but they pretended not to know, ate elegantly, and asked Youshu to go to the couch for a nap after the meeting, saying that they would go to the study together after the meeting.
Today is a big court meeting, not to mention that it will be held for more than an hour, there is Shu full of food and drink, quite sleepy, the head just touched the pillow and fell asleep, in a daze I felt that someone was kissing in the center of my eyebrows, so I habitually called out to the master. The man smiled lowly, sat down on the edge of the couch for a moment, and then went lightly.
I don't know how long I slept, and suddenly there was a noisy sound in the outer hall, and Youshu immediately woke up and lifted the curtain to see. I saw a young girl in a gorgeous palace dress striding in, followed by a group of palace maids and eunuchs, shouting while chasing, "Your Royal Highness Princess, Zhao Gongzi is still sleeping, and His Royal Highness the Ninth ordered when he left that no one was allowed to go in and disturb him." β
"Could it be that this anyone includes this palace? Get out of the way! The girl looks gentle and beautiful, but her temper is very irritable, and when she saw Youshu stretching out her head and staring at herself, she became more and more angry, "Zhao Gongzi has such a big face, not only blocking the palace from the palace, but also not kneeling and saluting, who taught you the rules?" β
Youshu immediately jumped down and saluted, wearing only obscene clothes and pants, what is the difference between this and naked in ancient times?
The girl screamed, and hurriedly covered her eyes and rushed out, Youshu slowly dressed her shoes and socks, and let the girl be angry outside. After washing his face and combing his hair, he refused to go out, but just picked up a piece of pastry and nibbled on it, with one hand still on his chin, so that the pastry dregs would not fall to the ground and be wasted.
"Zhao Youshu, you get out of the palace!"
"Get out of here, do you hear me?"
"You guys, go in and arrest people from this palace!"
"Brush, brush" This is the sound of the guards who suddenly appeared in the main hall drawing their knives, and then Princess Mingzhu stopped and began to beat things.
Youshu listened with his ears pricked up, and the small dimples on his cheeks loomed, and he had completely regarded the noise outside the hall as a pastime. After eating for about a quarter of an hour, a eunuch reported in a long voice, "Her Royal Highness Princess, Her Royal Highness the Ninth is back." β
The hall was quiet for a moment, and then there was the footsteps of Princess Mingzhu hurriedly running out, and then Shi Shiran got up and went out to see the excitement.
The secret guard has already reviewed the previous situation in detail, so when Princess Mingzhu complained that Zhao Gongzi was slighting herself, the Nine Emperors' expression was very cold, "Mingzhu, knowing that there is a foreign man, you still go to this king's bedroom, who taught you the rules?" In the future, without the permission of this king, you are not allowed to trespass on the East Palace! β
Princess Mingzhu was dumbfounded, and then there was a noisy cry. When the two of them entered the hall with their front and back feet, they saw the young man pinching a piece of glutinous rice cake, blinking a pair of big eyes, and looking at it with an innocent expression. The Nine Emperor Princes couldn't help laughing, walked over and touched-touch-his head, and praised, "My family has a good life. He was worried that Youshu would suffer in front of the imperial sister, but he didn't expect him to deal with it very well. He seems to have been born with the talent to make people half dead, but he is unaware of it.
Princess Mingzhu exploded her lungs and said sharply, "Brother Huang, it's just a pet, no matter how much you pamper, there should be a limit!" For him, you remediate the jade pine like that, so how can this palace deal with itself? He's the husband of the palace! β
The Nine Emperors immediately went to see the boy, lest he be hurt by the word "pet". However, Youshu had learned yesterday that he had become the demon of the legendary "Israel Disaster Country", but he didn't take it to heart at all, even Princess Mingzhu humiliated and scolded him in front of him, and he didn't feel it. Demons, pets, and ministers, as long as they can stay by their master's side for a long time, he will recognize them no matter what the name is, and he will be willing to do so. What is the contempt, debasement, and humiliation of others? Can you eat it?
Seeing that the master was looking at him with a worried gaze, he quickly curled the corners of his lips, squeezed out two small dimples, and slapped his arm comfortingly.
The Nine Emperor Princes are finally relieved. He knew that his Youshu would not be defeated by these short-term and long-term talents.
The two stared at each other, silent, and their eyes flowed with a strong warmth, which was very warm and moving, but it also stung Princess Mingzhu's heart and lungs. She swept down the copper stove on the table, crying and screaming that she would want the imperial brother to drive Zhao Youshu away, replace Zhao Yusong back, and restore his qualification for the imperial examination.
The Nine Emperor Princes leaned back, Youshu immediately served a cup of hot tea, the two looked at each other, smirked silently, and then looked at Princess Mingzhu together.
"If you knew whose bed Zhao Yusong was in last night, maybe you wouldn't have made a fuss." The Nine Emperors said slowly.
Youshu immediately buried her head, and the tips of her ears turned red little by little. The master really knew that I cut off the monster's tongue, and in order to take into account my feelings, he pretended not to know, which is good. Comforting himself in this way, he immediately came back to life full of blood, and peeped at his master with shining eyes.
The Nine Emperor Princes didn't turn their faces to look at him, but they held one of his hands with a good heart and squeezed it gently.
Princess Mingzhu was in shock, and did not pay attention to the ambiguous behavior of the two, and asked, "Whose bed is he on?" β
"The Zou family, the concubine of his second brother Zhao Yulin Xinna."
"Impossible! You lied to me! He sued you, right? Wow, did you come to the imperial brother to slander Yusong and look for death? Princess Mingzhu suddenly stretched out her hand to pinch Youshu, and the golden wire armor as sharp as a knife almost poked Youshu's eyes.
The Nine Emperors kicked her out without thinking about it, and pulled Youshu into his arms with his backhand to grope, and a lot of cold sweat broke out on his forehead. I thought that a weak woman could not pose a threat, but I didn't expect the woman to be so vicious. The disgust in his heart grew, and he ordered the guards to pull Princess Pearl out immediately.
Princess Mingzhu was driven away and kept shouting, such as: "I must go to my father to complain", "If you are not a king, you will not marry", "You disregard family affection" and so on. Youshu listened for a moment and said worriedly, "Is she really determined to marry Zhao Yusong?" β
"Marry and marry, what does it have to do with me?" The Nine Emperor Princes pulled the person into his arms and stole a kiss with the taste of glutinous rice cakes.
Youshu hurriedly took a few mouthfuls of Longjin, and licked the silver threads from the corners of the master's mouth. It's all good stuff and can't be wasted.
The Nine Emperors smiled lowly, "Youshu, are you a dog?" β
"That's right." Youshu nodded ignorantly.
The Nine Emperors laughed more and more happily, and teased, "No wonder I love to lick things so much, come, lick again." He pointed to his lips.
Youshu's cheeks burst red, and then he knew that the master was joking with him, and hurriedly struggled to escape from his arms, but he was tied to his waist and limbs, thrown on the soft couch, and rubbed and loved for a while. The two of them stopped kissing until they were out of breath, and Youshu still remembered the previous incident and asked, "You really don't care about Princess Mingzhu?" Zhao Yusong is not a good match. β
"She won't listen to what I say. She has not been close to me since she was a child, and even my sixth brother and queen mother regarded me as an outsider, because I was judged to be the reincarnation of the overlord as soon as I was born, and then sent to the Palace of Raising Hearts to be taught by my father himself, and I didn't see them for a year. One year, my mother was so angry with my father's favorite concubine that she secretly came to see me and wanted me to help her fix her favor, but I didn't agree, so she said, 'Just if you never gave birth to my son'. Another year, my sixth brother heard that I couldn't sleep at night, so he put a chronic β‘β‘ in my incense that could make people unable to sleep. I was born with this, but how can these methods work? Therefore, I quickly found out the true appearance and wanted to tell my father, but the queen mother, whom I hadn't seen for five or six years, came to me again, and asked me to help the sixth brother hide it. I finally agreed, but I never had any contact with them again. I am in the East Palace, they will never set foot on weekdays, unless they ask for me, or take advantage of it. β
The words of the Nine Emperor Princes are really light, and they have a slight aftertaste, but they taste a lot of sadness. It turned out that the master's life was not as smooth as he imagined, he was rejected by his own mother, and was murdered by his brother-in-law, but he still had to help hide it. He must be sad, right? Is it even more difficult to sleep at night?
Thinking of this, Youshu's heart was like a knife, and she immediately hugged her master, kissed his forehead, eyelids, and the tip of his nose, and poured the most tender pity into one wet mark after another. The Nine Emperors hugged him tightly with his backhand, and sighed with satisfaction in his heart: Yes, that's it, cherish me more, and love me more.
After two lifetimes, he finally realized a truth, in the face of Youshu, the most appropriate way to envelop is not to be strong, calm and thoughtful, but to let him know how many hardships you have suffered and how much suffering you have suffered. Because if you don't let him know, he'll never be able to understand. His mind would never think about these too complex issues.
However, once he realizes it, he will think about you everywhere and always think about you. His temperament is like a loyal puppy, he needs to be trained well to become more emotional, and he needs to say something to be completely enlightened.
Such a treasure is the most abrasive and the most charming, no wonder he has been planted in his hands for two lives. The Nine Emperors tilted their heads, kissed the young man's ear, and smiled gently-
The Nine Emperor Princes also appeared very calm today, participated in court meetings, took classes, practiced martial arts, smiled all the time on their faces, and their words were gentle and polite, but they had a bit of the shadow of an overlord. When it was time to go home in the evening, he led a horse to the boy and said, "Can you ride a horse?" β
Youshu wanted to nod, remembering the last time she changed the font, and quickly shook her head, put her hands behind her back, and stirred wildly. When lying to his master, the guilt in his heart is difficult to overcome, and he must do his best to hide it.
However, he thought he was hiding it well, but his weak expression couldn't be controlled, not to mention that he had already nodded his head, but he began to shake violently again, and the fool couldn't see it. Xue Wangjing hurriedly turned his back and smiled, His Royal Highness was so lucky that he had found such a living treasure.
The Nine Emperors put their fists to their lips and coughed slightly. Not only did he know that Youshu was lying, but he could also guess why he was lying. This little thing can ride a horse, but he tells himself that he can't, isn't it just to let himself hug him? It's just that if he likes to be clingy, let him be sticky, anyway, he never wanted to separate in his life.
Thinking of this, the Nine Emperors' eyebrows and eyes were flying, and he was in a happy mood, grabbed the young man's slender waist with both hands, lifted him to the horse, and then turned over himself and hugged him.
Youshu used to be held by his master like this when he was learning to ride a horse, and he also formed a habit, as soon as his back touched his warm chest, he moved his farts and shrank into his arms, and his attachment was overflowing. Seeing this, the Nine Emperor Princes became more and more proud, holding the reins in one hand and tightening his waist with the other, and galloped away, fearing that running too fast would shorten the time for embracing, and instead believed in the reins of the horse, wandering aimlessly.
Wandering until the sunset and the sunset were gone, the two finally arrived at the Zhao Mansion.
"Take this one for self-defense." The Nine Emperors took out a half-foot-long wooden box from his saddle bag.
Youshu opened it to see that it was a dagger with a pitch-black body, only engraved with vermilion Sanskrit on the handle and blade, although it was rusty and dull, but it revealed an extremely powerful and restrained coercion. This kind of coercion is not perceptible to ordinary people, unless there is a spiritual powerhouse like Youshu, or a demon and monster who is more sensitive to qi.
"What is this?" He couldn't put it down and stroked.
"This is the Lingwu given by the Living Buddha of Wusizang to the Holy Emperor Zongsheng, called 'Demon Punishment'. Recently, the world has been a little uneven, so you take it to defend yourself. Thinking of the strange and terrifying death of the Zou family, there was a hint of worry in the eyes of the Nine Emperor Princes. Even his secret guards couldn't find out who did it, which shows that the strength of the person behind it is extraordinary.
Youshu is lacking such a magic weapon, so she happily accepts it. He hung the dagger on his waist, and touched it after walking for a while, he liked to cherish it very much, and when he arrived at the dining room, he saw Wang staring at him with a worried brow.
"Mother, what's wrong with you?" He walked over and asked.
"My son is sitting down, dinner will be coming soon." Wang pulled him to his side and sat down, whispering, "The Nine Emperor Princes sent you back?" You two rode together and walked the streets for half an hour? β
Youshu nodded obediently and reached for the pastries on the table.
Wang's face fell, as if he was about to cry, but he couldn't bear to scold his son, so he only smiled and told him to eat less pastries and eat more. After sitting stiff for a moment, she glanced at the companion room, who nodded slightly, turned to go out, and soon led a beautiful girl with a graceful figure in.
Before Wang could speak, Youshu had already put down the pastry and looked over with burning eyes.
Wang, who had never seen his son pay a little attention to a woman, was playful, and hurriedly introduced, "This is the maid that my mother picked for you, fifteen years old, named Taohong, and she will be serving in your room from now on." You've grown up, it's time to be governor. β
You Shu Na nodded, but she didn't hear anything in Wang's words. His whole mind was drawn to the girl. No, it's wrong to use the word girl, it's clearly the monster that was killed by two thunderbolt charms last night! With its head and heart shattered into flesh, how did it survive?
Youshu set off stormy waves in her heart, but she didn't show anything on her face. If you can kill it once, you can kill it twice, three times, or four times, and with more experience, you can always find a way to kill it completely. But now, let's kill it again and take a third look.
Thinking of this, Youshu retracted her gaze, lowered her head, and used her mental power to hold her face red, making a look of being in love but ashamed to express it. Wang was overjoyed when he saw this, and hurriedly asked Taohong to come forward to serve dinner. Peach clips eat whatever she wants, and frequently peeks at her face.
Peach also seemed to be very ashamed, and she didn't dare to look at Childe at all, and was inadvertently touched by the back of her hand, and she was so frightened that she took a few steps back. Putting aside the stench it was all over, at this moment, Youshu finally caught the flaw in its eyes, and it was really scared, not acting. It seems that being killed twice by a person in a row, even the most advanced monster can't help but be afraid.
