Neither of them spoke, Huo Tianyou listened to her lower abdomen like a child for a long time before chuckling: "I seem to hear his heartbeat." ”

"It's so small, can't you hear it?" Lu Shuyi's smile was as sweet as a flower.

But he was sure: "Of course I can hear ......."

Lu Shuyi let him mess around for a while, and the two sat opposite each other, drinking tea and talking.

Lu Shuyi talked about the King of Huainan, and she sighed: "Now the He family in Zhili is panicked, and those who used to do things for the Queen Mother are also in danger one by one, for fear that the King of Huainan will really hit the north." ”

Huo Tianyou took a sip of tea and said lightly: "Whether you can hit the north or not depends on the emperor's intentions." The King of Huainan is playing the banner of the Qing monarch's side, if the Empress Dowager He is still autocratic, and the He family is still covering the sky with one hand above the court, then there will be more people who support the King of Huainan. But if the emperor really wants to deal with the He family, the He family has also developed a lot of power over the years, and it is not so easy to move the whole body. ”

"So, this is an opportunity?" Lu Shuyi asked tentatively.

Huo Tianyou nodded without evasion: "Yes, for my father, this is an opportunity, a great opportunity." ”

"What about you?" Lu Shuyi looked at Huo Tianyou for a moment, once upon a time, she also thought that he was a great husband who stood up to the sky, and he had a world-shattering talent, so he should have something earth-shattering.

However, after going through so many things, she finally felt that living an ordinary life was what she wanted.

But if he is made mediocre in this life, he feels too wronged by him. After thinking about it, he still spoke first: "For you, whether it is an opportunity or not, you have to fight hard, I know that you want to do a lot of things over the years, but you have not been able to find a chance to do it, and now the strong are competing, just to give full play to your talents......"

Huo Tianyou was slightly stunned, and after a long time, he gently held her hand and said, "Don't you like to live a peaceful life?" Why don't you stop me? ”

Lu Shuyi sighed softly and said, "I...... I wanted to stop it, but I thought about it. I still don't think it should be stopped. You're not a mediocre person. If I hinder you, you may not be happy in the future, and if you are not happy, what happiness can I have? So...... You let it go. Fight for the world. Do what you love to do. ”

"Yi'er......" he squeezed her hand again. I didn't know what to say for a while, so I only pinched her finger and said, "Don't worry, I will let you live a stable life." ”

Their lips pressed lightly together. Light and shadow are intertwined, and there is only the sound of continuous breathing......

The court was still in turmoil, and Empress Dowager He exerted various pressures to Emperor Rong to send a large army to encircle and suppress the King of Huainan, and then kill the henchmen of the King of Huainan one by one.

However, Emperor Rong did not want to use force, once he used force, the victims must be ordinary people, and the king of Huainan went all the way north, did not burn and plunder, but only killed the henchmen of the Empress Dowager He, and did not affect the people's farming.

In this way, it was even more difficult for him to make up his mind to encircle and suppress the king of Huainan.

Emperor Rong summoned Huo Wangye to discuss with him, the two drank a lamp, Emperor Rong sighed, and asked Huo Wangye: "What does Huo Qing think of the current situation?" Should we send troops to encircle and suppress it, or should we ...... Should retreat as advance? ”

Huo Wang Ye put down the wine cup and pondered for a moment before saying: "In the opinion of the ministers, if you want to encircle and suppress, you must first make a good layout, so that the casualties are minimized, if you don't encircle and suppress, the emperor must always show attitude and sincerity, after all, the banner of the Qing monarch is for your good on the surface, and it is for you to ......bring your rights together" and coughed dryly: "Of course, you have a deep relationship with the Queen Mother's mother and son, and some things may not need to be calculated so clearly, but outsiders can't understand it." ”

Emperor Rong smiled bitterly, the mother-son relationship was deep but also very ironic.

Since he succeeded to the throne, the power is actually in the hands of the Empress Dowager He, and usually even trivial matters, the ministers of the DPRK and China have to ask, "Have you asked the Empress Dowager for her opinion?" The king of a country, but he has to be controlled by others, even if the deep mother-son relationship is, it has long faded.

So he pondered: "If you don't send troops, can Huo Qing have a good countermeasure?" ”

Huo Wang Ye pondered for a long time, he actually knew Emperor Rong's intentions, to put it bluntly, he wanted to take the opportunity to gather power, but he was afraid that the power of the Empress Dowager He in the court would oppose him, and no one would support him at that time.

Emperor Rong asked him about his intentions, nothing more than to get his support, after all, the Huo family is also a mainstay in the imperial court, and he holds military power, if Emperor Rong gets his help, he will have a little more confidence in attacking the He family.

“…… If you don't send troops, of course your emperor must show an attitude. Prince Huo lowered his eyebrows and said steadily, and sighed again: "It's just that if you show your attitude, it will inevitably hurt the face of the Queen Mother, this matter is ...... But it's also a dilemma...... Wechen really didn't dare to say more. ”

Such a reply is tantamount to no reply at all.

Emperor Rong didn't get an answer that satisfied him, but when he asked again, Prince Huo still talked about him left and right, but he refused to express his position.

Emperor Rong was helpless, and he couldn't directly say what he thought in his heart, so he drank a few glasses of wine, so he had to hold his forehead and say: "I can't beat the wine, Huo Qing will go back and rest, and discuss it tomorrow morning." ”

Huo Wangye got up to say goodbye, and Emperor Rong seemed to think of something, and waved his hand: "Huo Qing's second son is really a young talent, the last time I talked to him, I liked his vision very much, if there is a chance, Huo Qing will take him into the palace together." ”

Prince Huo was stunned for a moment, and then returned to his senses for a moment and saluted: "Weichen knows......"

After the meeting, Huo Wangye ordered someone to quietly check what Huo Tianyou said to Emperor Rong the last time he entered the palace, and whether Emperor Rong had the intention of reusing him......

But Huo Tianyou didn't know what was happening in the palace, he just stayed by Lu Shuyi's side every day, and at the same time didn't forget to help Zhou Yong find out Xiaolian's death.

Zhou Yong also found clues in Huo's house, it was when Huo Tianyou and Huo Tiankang fell out that day, he helped Imperial Doctor Wang treat the wounds of the injured. He was very impressed by one man, who was seven feet long, with a black face, a scar on his forehead, and most importantly, six fingers on his right hand......

On that rainy night, a group of people chased and killed their family of three, and when Xiaolian died, he had used a knife to cut a person, and the knife happened to cut the masked man's forehead, and the situation was critical, he didn't have time to see the masked man's appearance clearly, but he remembered that the man had six fingers on his right hand, and the extra finger was very clear when he held the knife.

It is true that there are not many people in the world who have six fingers, but it is rare to have a scar on the forehead and six fingers.

Zhou Yong told Huo Tianyou what he had discovered, and his tone was a little excited: "I will definitely not be wrong about the six-fingered person." (To be continued......)
