Lu Hua'er followed them into the back of the gambling house with a stupid face.

Behind the gambling house was a small bungalow with these four rooms, and at the door of one of them stood an old man who was well-dressed and shy and looked like a rich man.

"Dog, I'll let you pull people in the gambling house, what's the matter if you bring me a girl?"

The old man was holding a red clay and purple sand teapot in his hand, and he was drinking it without a sip in front of the spout.

Gou Yu nodded and walked over, and after muttering a few words in his ear, the old man laughed in surprise: "Oh, this girl needs our "help", right? Hey, let's get inside. ”

Then he invited Lu Huaer into the house.

After Lu Hua'er walked in ignorantly, the old man quickly wrote an IOU, then blew it dry and handed it to her: "Girl, please sign it below." ”

"Fifty taels borrowed? Did I receive your money? Why sign this? Lu Hua'er looked at the amount on the IOU and couldn't help but cry out in surprise.

The old man's face stiffened, and then he took out an ingot of thirty taels of silver on the table, pushed it in front of her and said with a smile: "Don't worry, girl, isn't the silver just for you!" ”

Lu Hua'er picked up the silver and looked at it: "Thirty taels? Didn't you say fifty taels? ”

The old man smiled: "This is the rule, nine out of thirteen, the interest money must be deducted first." ”

Lu Hua'er pouted: "Isn't this a lie?" Forget it, I won't borrow it. ”

As he spoke, he put down the silver and turned to leave.

The old man was anxious, and immediately glanced at Gou Yu and the other two subordinates.

The dog was left to understand, and rushed to the door to stop her: "Hey, girl, let's discuss!" He reached for her shoulder.

Lu Hua'er's eyes were over, and without waiting for his hand to come up, he kicked him to the point: "Want to take advantage? It's easy to be a bully when a girl, isn't it? ”

The dog left a "ouch", covered his lower body, jumped on the spot, and shouted to his subordinates angrily: "Oh, my mother, this little girl has a black hand, hurry, catch her!" ”

Two of his subordinates immediately rushed towards her with fists in their hands.

Although Lu Hua'er is a three-legged cat kung fu, she is still very sensitive in dodging, and after fainting these people in three or two strokes, she escaped from the cat's waist under their armpits to the yard.

"Want to catch me? Hum! Where is it so easy? ”

Lu Hua'er grimaced at them, and when he was about to leave, suddenly a large group of officers and soldiers rushed in.

"Don't move!"

The officers and soldiers solemnly drew their knives and put them on the necks of Lu Huaer and the bad guys.

"Hey, you're mistaken, I'm not one of them."

Lu Hua'er was forced to squat down, but shouted loudly.

"Shut up, if you have anything to say, when the second prince comes, you can tell him yourself!" The officer and soldier scolded.

After a while, Song Ziqi walked in with a serious expression, surrounded by everyone.

When Lu Huaer saw him, she first felt that he was very familiar, tilted her head and looked at him for a long time in confusion, and then suddenly realized that he was the hero of that day!

So he hurriedly broke free from the custody of the officers and soldiers, threw himself in front of him, and said in surprise: "Hero, it turned out to be you!" Explain to them that I'm not one of them! ”

Song Ziqi was taken aback by her, and the surrounding guards also nervously pulled out their waist knives and aimed them at Lu Hua'er. After he saw that it was Lu Hua'er, he raised his hand.

The guards put away their knives and silently stepped aside.

Song Ziqi frowned: "Why are you again?" ”

Lu Hua'er also smiled: "Yes! What a coincidence. After thinking about it, he said dogleggedly: "It seems that I have a relationship with you!" ”

Song Ziqi: "......" is a bad fate, right?

While the two were talking, the officers and soldiers began to escort the men who had put the money in the seal outside.

"Let's go! Take them back to Dali Temple first, and wait for the second prince to interrogate them personally. ”

Another officer and soldier came up and asked Song Ziqi: "Second prince, what should you do with this girl?" ”

Lu Hua'er hurriedly shook her head: "I really don't know them, they tricked me in and said to lend me money, some fifty taels on the IOU, but only thirty taels for me, the silver and IOU are still on the table, don't believe it yourself!" ”

Song Ziqi glanced left and right, and an officer and soldier ran in and took a note and a silver two: "Second prince, there is indeed a note." ”

Lu Huaer is arrogant: "Look, I'm not lying!" ”

Song Ziqi took the note and glanced at it quickly, and the subordinates behind him came over and asked, "Second prince, what about this ......girl?"

"Let's take it back to the East Palace first."

He thought for a moment, resolutely put away the note, turned around and ordered.

When Lu Hua'er heard the word "East Palace" at first glance, something seemed to come out of her mind, but she couldn't come out, and she had a splitting headache for a while, so she immediately hugged her head and groaned in pain.

"Second prince, look at her ......"

The guards didn't know what Lu Hua'er's situation was, so they didn't dare to step forward easily, so they had to call Song Ziqi.

Song Ziqi turned around, saw her like this, and frowned again: It's really troublesome.

Strode over, and quickly reached out and clicked on a few of her acupoints.

Lu Hua'er fainted, Song Ziqi caught her, hugged her horizontally, and returned to the East Palace together under the escort of everyone.

Perhaps at that time, Song Ziqi didn't expect that from the moment he took her into his arms, he was destined to start the life of him and her, and the emotions and fate involved were incomprehensible......

……………………

"Monarch, monarch!"

In the ears of the old monarch Song Ziqi, two soft calls from the eunuch sounded, pulling his thoughts out of his memories.

"Ahem!"

He coughed lightly with his fist to his mouth to hide his gaffe, then put the letter on the table and said.

"As for what your emperor said in his heart, the two countries worked together to eradicate the Jade Sword Villa, I still have to think about it. Stand down! ”

The old past that sounded just now made his heart ache faintly, and he didn't have the energy to talk to Fu Lingyun and Chu Qingruo anymore.

So, he waved his hand and said to them tiredly.

Fu Lingyun and Chu Qingruo first glanced at each other, and then looked at Song Xiuzhu who was standing beside the old monarch together.

Song Xiuzhu secretly observed the old monarch's complexion, and he was indeed tired, so he quietly made a "let's go" gesture to them.

Although Fu Lingyun and Chu Qingruo were a little anxious in their hearts, they wanted to solve this problem as soon as possible, but when they saw the old monarch like this, as well as Song Xiuzhu's gestures, they had no choice but to retreat first and leave the imperial study.

After they left, Song Xiuzhu wanted to retire and go out to appease their anxious mood, but before he could speak, the old monarch retreated from all the people in the imperial study, leaving Song Xiuzhu alone.

"Prince, have you ever complained about me?"

The old monarch was silent for a long time before he asked this sentence.

Song Xiuzhu thought to himself, he didn't know if he complained about him or not, but he complained a little bit about him.

You said that he was a good free doctor, but now he is trapped in the palace and three acres of land, and he fights in the palace every day, and he is tired, so don't you complain about him?

But can such a thing be said?

Naturally, it can't.

"Nope."

Song Xiuzhu said.

The old monarch turned his face, looked at his insincere face, and suddenly smiled.

"Lie! Knowing the son Mo Ruo's father, what are you thinking in your heart, do you think I don't know anything about it? ”

As he spoke, he sighed and said, "I don't want you to be a child who will be free for the rest of your life, but your brothers know the hearts of jackals, how can they let you go." I have been deliberately abandoning you, thinking that this will keep you safe for the rest of your life, but who knows that even so, your two brothers have no intention of letting you go. ”

Song Xiuzhu was silent.

Indeed, when he wore it, the original body died. But he didn't know that it was his brother who had done it.

"Father, do you know?"

The old monarch smiled bitterly: "I know, how could I not know." ”

These pickles in the palace, he has seen them since he was a child, and he doesn't understand where he can.

It is precisely because of this that he feels particularly guilty and is particularly afraid of facing Song Xiuzhu.

He was one step late, he was only one step late, and he was forever separated from his beloved Hua'er. No one knew that he hated these intrigues in the palace more than anyone else.

If it weren't for the concubine's plan to surrender and exchange the news sent by the guards he sent to secretly protect Hua'er, he wouldn't have known Hua'er's identity so late, and he wouldn't have gone to ask for a marriage because he was too late, which would have hurt her heartbroken and difficult to die.

All of this is caused by this cannibalistic palace!

Sometimes, he really wants to tear down the palace, destroy everything, and let him go.

However, he is a king, and he cannot be willful, let alone act recklessly.

No one understands his suffering, no one knows, only he tastes it silently.

No one knows how ecstatic he was when he knew that Xiuzhu was still alive and that the blood left by the woman he loved the most was still alive.

No one knows, and no one wants to know the true joys and sorrows of a king.

It is said that the king reigns over the world, and the emperor is the master of all people in the world.

However, only he knows that he is the one who is dominated.

Dominated by the world, dominated by courtiers, and dominated by harem concubines. All the things that seemed to him scared him were not following the wishes of those people?

Oh, king? Amusing!

Thinking of this, he smiled bitterly and waved his hand tiredly: "You should also complain." If your mother is still here, I'm afraid even she will complain. Forget it, you can step back too. I...... Tired. ”

Song Xiuzhu bent down and arched his hand, thinking that he would definitely give himself a beating, but unexpectedly, he let himself retreat.

"......, yes."

Song Xiuzhu, who was about to exit the imperial study, inadvertently saw him sitting on the dragon chair, tired, old figure, he couldn't bear it for a while, and turned back and said, "Father, can you allow your son to say a big disrespectful word?" ”

The old monarch leaned his cigarette butt on the back of his chair and did not look at him, but replied with a somewhat hoarse throat: "Say, I will forgive you for your innocence." ”

Song Xiuzhu paused and said, "My son complains about you." ”

The old monarch raised his head in surprise.

Song Xiuzhu said tepidly: "So you must take care of your body, so that your son can be free for a few more years under your protection, and there will be less resentment towards you!" ”

After speaking, he didn't look at the old monarch's face, and bent down and arched his hand: "After the son's words are finished, the son's minister will retire." ”

So saying, he turned and left. But in his heart, he thought: This is probably the only thing he can do for the owner of this body!

He left, leaving the old monarch alone in the imperial study, with old tears in his eyes......
