Chapter 535: The Long Torture

This night didn't seem to be so long for Qi Yu.

At dawn, Dongliang came in to serve Qi Yu as always, although Qi Yu didn't necessarily need his care, but the rules that he should abide by as a slave still had to be followed.

"Your Majesty, the slave is coming,......" Dongliang pushed the door in, but the next second he knelt on the ground in a panic, "Ask the emperor to atone for his sins, the slave doesn't know that there are others in this study." ”

"As the eunuch in charge next to me, I don't know if there is anyone in the study?" Qi Yu's voice sounded, and then slowly rolled over from the bed.

He still looked a little weak, pale, and his hair was messy on his forehead, but even so, the light in his inky eyes could not hide it.

"Ask the emperor to atone for his sins." Hearing this, Dong Liang knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing, he knew very well that his emperor was back again, "The slave will die and will not be able to excuse his sins, ask the emperor to atone for his sins, ask the emperor to atone for his sins." ”

Serving Qi Yu closely, no one knows the emperor's temper better than him.

Finally, Momiji, who had been unable to interject beside him, finally said cautiously: "Your Majesty, the slave will go out." ”

The purpose of Hongye is to survive, Qi Yu only promised himself last night, this will look at the fear of this father-in-law, I am afraid that this emperor is not a good person to get along with, she feels that she is better to slip away.

Thinking about it, she had already walked to the door of the upper study.

"From now on, you will stay in the upper study and wait." Qi Yu said this to the red leaves.

When Hongye was still wondering if he had heard it wrong, Dongliang immediately spoke, "Girl, the emperor's order cannot be disobeyed." ”

Momiji turned around and smiled at Dongliang, "Or, the emperor will think about it again?" ”

She had already torn off her mask in front of Qi Yu last night, and now that she continues to stay, how should she deal with herself? Leaning on this face? Momiji shook her head, she had had enough.

Qi Yu withdrew his gaze from the red leaves, and then his calm gaze fell on Dongliang's body, "It's almost time, let's wait for me to go to court." ”

When he spoke, Qi Yu had already gotten out of bed, looking no different from before.

Dongliang was puzzled, is the emperor not pursuing himself? He thought about it, and glanced at the woman who looked like the queen's mother again, and his heart couldn't help but feel a little more complicated.

In the end, the emperor's heart, the needle under the sea.

On this day, the sun shines in every corner of the capital, and in the court, everyone will also usher in a good start or end.

At the same time, under another piece of sunshine, the streets are bustling, and the occasional peddler pawn who comes over can be regarded as a unique scenery.

"Mother, you're here

"Girl, this is a very interesting wrestling in our Northern Xia Kingdom, the kind that everyone usually goes to play."

Along the way, Miao He used this ordinary tone to introduce interesting scenery and folk customs to Zhou Huan.

In fact, Zhou Huan could feel her intentions, that is, Miao He was really not suitable for doing this kind of thing.

"This is the most lively street in our capital, but recently the traders with Han Zhaoguo have been opened, and everyone has gone out to do some small business, so there will be fewer people."

When it came to the end, Miao He's heart was empty and there was no sound.

Obviously, the girl was in a bad mood, so she finally mustered up the courage to propose to accompany the girl out for a walk, but who knew that as soon as she opened her mouth, she mentioned Han Zhaoguo's matter.

At this moment, there was obviously more inexplicable embarrassment in the air.

However, Zhou Huan didn't seem to notice this problem, and when Miao He looked over, her eyes were looking in the other direction in a daze.

"Girl, girl? You're not angry, are you? ”

Miao He spoke cautiously, and his eyes also looked in the direction of Zhou Huan, and then found that there was a group of people huddled together not far away. From time to time, there are one or two poignant female voices.

Miao He smiled and said to Zhou Huan, "This kind of slave buying and selling often happens, and most of some people don't want to, so ...... So it's like this. ”

Zhou Huan had just come to their Northern Xia Kingdom, and Miao He was very unwanted. This kind of mess is happening right now.

"It's not a slave trade." Saying this, Zhou Huan took advantage of the fact that Miao He was still stunned, and had already walked in the direction of the dense crowd.

"It's your blessing that my young master has taken a fancy to you, how can you be so ignorant." The people over there were swearing.

The two Chinese languages are incomprehensible, but some Zhou Huan can still understand them, and he also listens to the key points after listening to them.

A rich boy who is dressed up very expensively falls in love with a girl from an ordinary family who sets up a stall, and says that he will take the girl home with him.

The girl who was still in good shape stood there crying and crying, looking like she was not working every day and the earth should not be, which was really distressing.

The anger in his chest burned, and Zhou Huan was ready to help without thinking about it, but Miao He on the side stopped Zhou Huan.

"Girl, the master said that you can't have an accident during this time in the capital, otherwise you will ......"

Miao He was still pulling Zhou Huan's sleeve and opened his mouth aggrievedly.

But Zhou Huan had already pushed Miao He away regardless of it and walked into the middle of the crowd. She knew that if she didn't show up, this girl would probably be saved.

It happened that the rich boy reached out and wanted to drag the girl into his arms, but Zhou Huan went over and dragged the girl behind him.

She smiled, "Robbing people's girls on the street, son, I'm afraid this is a little inappropriate." ”

"Han Zhaoguo?" The rich boy sneered after glancing at Zhou Huan, "It's good." ”

He squinted his eyes and looked Zhou Huan up and down, he looked good, but he had a big belly and looked married to a wife.

Although I like beauties, I don't have so much thought about women.

"Do you know where this is, and who our son-in-law is, it scares you to death if you say it, so get out of the way for me now."

The person who spoke was not the son, but the guard next to the boy who looked a little dog-like.

"No matter where it is, it's not right to blatantly do this kind of thing on the street, right?"

Zhou Huan didn't seem to be afraid at all, she said, "I have long heard that your Northern Xia people are fierce, and now I have seen it with a long experience. ”

These words were quite provocative, and sure enough, the person on the other side also blew up all of a sudden.

"It seems that you know our Beixia very well, since this is the case, I'm afraid you can't let the girl down."

After finishing speaking, the boy hooked his lips, and his presumptuous eyes swept Zhou Huan up and down on his body.

Although I have a strong stomach, this posture is still good, and it is not impossible to take it home to play.

"Someone! Bring it back to me. ”

Miao Heming and just wanted to stop it, but Zhou Huan gave her a look to stop it. There are too many people in front of him, Miao He is not an opponent alone, and he is on the street now, if he makes a big fuss, I'm afraid there will be no benefit.

But her master's order was to let her protect Zhou Huan, and at this moment Zhou Huan was not allowed, when Miao He was hesitating and didn't know what to do, Zhou Huan had already been taken away by the son.

More than a dozen attendants pressed Zhou Huan and left, and in desperation, Miao He had to turn around immediately, such an important thing happened, she needed to tell Tuoba Zhao immediately.

Zhou Huan was soon taken to a high-gate compound, but he entered through the side door.

It can be seen that this family is either rich or expensive, no wonder those people on the street dare to be angry.

"What, Childe is planning to do it, won't even let me go?" Zhou Huan sneered and looked at the rich boy in front of him.

The boy smiled coldly, "Tell you, there is no one in the capital who can't get me." ”

The man's eyes were a little provocative, looking at Zhou Huan, but he felt that there was no need to compete with this kind of child.

She waved her hand, looked at the person in front of her impatiently and said, "Don't talk so much about children, I'm worried that I will slap my face for a while." ”

I have never seen a woman who can be so presumptuous in front of her, thinking about it, the anger in the heart of the boy brother can't be suppressed.

"Soon, you'll know if I'm just talking."

He picked up the teacup on the table and drank it all, and then rushed towards Zhou Huan.

It's just that this pounce doesn't matter, but it is not the familiar soft figure of the woman, and when he wants to continue to explore, he is slapped by someone.

"Rebel, what are you doing!"

"Dad, I'm ......" The rich boy opened his mouth, and just when he was about to defend himself, the middle-aged man slapped him again.

"How many times have you said it, don't cause trouble for me outside, do you know that you have caused a big disaster."

"Give me a kneel in the yard."

He said it harshly, but he had always been afraid of his father, so he had to turn away obediently.

But he was still a little more unwilling for Zhou Huan behind him, and looked back.

It didn't matter if he turned his head, but when he turned his head, he found that his father was saluting Zhou Huan, and his words were polite.

"Just now, the rebel was ignorant and bumped into the girl, the girl is fine."

Although his father didn't allow himself to do such a foolish thing, he never took anyone seriously.

He looked back at his father, and suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart, he was afraid that he had provoked the wrong person.

"Well, he scared me." Who knew that Zhou Huan didn't play her cards according to common sense, she smiled coldly, looked at the young man in front of her, a bearded man bowed to herself, but there was no trace of sympathy in her heart.

You know, if it wasn't for her today, I'm afraid it wouldn't have ended up like that girl. The person in front of him may blame, but more often than not, he protects his son. In the end, even if something happened, it was only a few taels of silver in the end.

Chapter 536: Caring is chaos

"What, could it be that the Taishi is in charge of his son like this? The person before Zhou Huan met didn't react for a long time, and a cold smile pierced the identity of this person. TXT Book House

This is the patriarch of the three dynasties of Northern Xia, and now he is the identity of the Taishi, above one person and under ten thousand people in Northern Xia. At the beginning, Zhou Huan's antidote was also changed by this person.

This incident was secretly told to him by Miao He after Zhou Huan came to Beixia. But when Miao He told himself about this, he probably hoped that he could have a better impression of Tuoba Zhao.

However, some things are still doomed, and Zhou Huan categorically will never have other ideas.

The Taishi in front of him said in surprise, "When did you know?" ”

"From the beginning of the street to now, no one has asked me?" Zhou Huanyun said this lightly, which means that she came prepared.

Taishi squinted his eyes and looked at the woman in front of him, the woman was fair-skinned, and her slender body was not like the woman of the Northern Xia Kingdom, she was indeed a little pleasing to the eye when she stood there.

But when I thought of this woman's influence on her master, I couldn't help but feel a little more jealous in my heart.

"Come on, go get my whip, go to the family law."

If his son gets into trouble, he will definitely have to deal with it. Otherwise, when Tuoba Zhao knows, I'm afraid it won't be as simple as a whip.

And the person kneeling below didn't dare to say anything more after knowing that the person in front of him was not a simple person.

Taishi nodded at Zhou Huan, suppressed the glances that flashed in his eyes, and replaced them with an amiable appearance.

"This rebel has always been ignorant, and education should be done, since this is the case, it is better to invite the girl to the yard to supervise together, and let the girl relax."

He thought that the weak woman should not be able to see the bloody scene, and besides, he had already put his face to such a point, Zhou Huan should also accept it when he saw it.

But who knew that Zhou Huan smiled, nodded and walked towards the courtyard by himself, without any consciousness of bowing his head.

In desperation, the whip on the people kneeling in the courtyard did not decrease at all, and the sun shone on his body at noon. It is also a very tragic matter.

Zhou Huan looked at it calmly, thinking in his heart, he could teach a lesson for a long time.

It was an accident to teach the son of the master today, but she has always been unaccustomed to things and has to meddle in time.

But at this moment, Zhou Huan's relaxed expression all fell in the eyes of the Taishi, since Zhou Huan was so ignorant, then he didn't have to give her any more face.

"The girl is from Han Zhaoguo?"

Zhou Huan nodded.

Taishi squinted and pondered for a moment, then said to Zhou Huan, "The lord's mother's family is from there, so the lord has always admired your culture over the years. But according to the old man, our Beixia can have today, naturally because we have our own advantages, I don't know what the girl thinks? ”

"Each has its own strengths, I have never cared about the affairs of the court."

Zhou Huan opened his mouth shallowly, and dialed the question back in four or two.

How could she not know that in Han Zhaoguo, she, the queen, had done so many things openly and secretly.

Taishi is naturally clear, so Zhou Huan's perfunctory attitude at this moment makes him even more angry.

The old man thought that the girl should understand people and know what the old man meant by these words. The Lord is just a whim, and the girl must not take it too seriously. ”

In the end, Zhou Huan is still powerful, and in just a few words, this long-time imperial master can't suppress his temper.

"I really don't understand this, why don't you explain it to me well." Zhou Huan retracted his gaze and looked at the Taishi next to him with a smile.

"Or the Taishi told me that Zhou Huan, a weak woman, did something wrong, as long as you can say one or two, I will change it."

Zhou Huan's clever appearance, how could it be like admitting a mistake.

And Master Fang Cai has been doing Tai Chi, but when she came to her, she actually made all the problems clear in a generous way.

Taishi was glared at by her angry beard, and just when she wanted to speak, she suddenly heard a rush of footsteps outside.

"Zhou Huan?"

Then before she could react, a man in a dark robe rushed in, and then walked in front of Zhou Huan and grabbed her hand nervously.

"Are you alright?" As he spoke, Tuoba Zhao's nervous gaze remained on Zhou Huan.

Zhou Huan shook his head and quietly withdrew his hand. Then he raised his eyes and stared at the Taishi motionlessly.

That look seemed to say, you also saw that he came first.

However, at this moment, how dare the Taishi dare to take a second look at Zhou Huan, he had already knelt on the ground when Tuoba Zhao came in, and even took all the slaves in the entire courtyard to kneel on the ground to admit his mistake.

"Today, the dog is ignorant and collided with the girl, the old minister made his own opinion, and the punishment has already been punished, please atone for the sin."

Taishi has a very high status in the court, and he has never been so subordinate. Tuoba Zhao glanced at the Taishi and knew that today could only end here.

"In the future, if your son can't manage it well, then this king will take care of it for you."

Taishi is an old man, so this only son has always been held in the palm of his hand. If you do something wrong today, you should naturally be angry.

But soon, he put all this blame on Zhou Huan.

After leaving the Taishi Mansion, Tuoba Zhao looked at Zhou Huan, who looked indifferent beside him, and couldn't help frowning.

"During this time, you still don't come out again, it's too dangerous outside."

Tuoba Zhao was worried about Zhou Huan's body, and the imperial doctor said that her delivery was approaching.

But these words fell on Zhou Huan's ears, but they felt harsh and tight.

She turned to look at Tuoba Zhao viciously and said, "You have restricted my freedom, and even planned how to go next, what?" Lots of plans? ”

Tuoba Zhao wanted to say something, but he couldn't answer Zhou Huan's crackling meal.

originally wanted to turn around and leave, but he thought that this place was still some way away from where Zhou Huan lived, and he didn't personally escort him, so he couldn't help but feel uneasy.

In desperation, Tuoba Zhao followed again.

After the two of them walked for a while, Zhou Huan also calmed down a lot, and finally took the initiative to say to Tuoba Zhao.

"Don't worry, I didn't say anything to the Taishi, you don't have to worry." Zhou Huan spoke quietly, as if he was chatting about daily life.

"And it can be seen that your Taishi is just a little pedantic, and he is still loyal to you going north, so don't be so nervous."

Tuoba Zhao, who stayed in place, looked at Zhou Huan's unhurried unhurried hair in front of him, and sighed when he looked at the moonlight sprinkled on her and the shadow that fell on the ground.

Of course, he knew that Taishi was wholeheartedly for the sake of Northern Xia, and just now, Taishi took the initiative to punish his son, one of the reasons was to protect the son who was not successful, and the other reason was also to protect him.

If he impulsively punished him today, then the affairs of the people, the court, and the harem tomorrow will not be something he can control.

From childhood to adulthood, the Taishi gave him more care than his father, so he had complicated feelings for the Taishi.

It was precisely because of this complexity that when Taishi prevented him and Zhou Huan from developing further, he would seem so powerless.

However, Tuoba Zhao felt that there was no need to let Zhou Huan know about this.

The only thing she has to do is to stay by her side obediently and let herself take good care of her.

Zhou Huan had already walked a long way, looking at the back, but a strange sense of unease suddenly rose in Tuoba Zhao's heart.

For many days afterward, the uneasiness almost kept him awake at night.

When Zhou Huan came to Northern Xia, there were many opinions in the court, and even the assassination that he secretly blocked had been many times.

After hearing that Zhou Huan was picked up by the Taishi today, God knows how worried he was, but when he got there, he found that she was actually sitting there on an equal footing with the Taishi, and there was a sense of playfulness in his heart.

This woman is so strong, and many times Tuoba Zhao feels as if he has been being toyed with by her and applauded. But whenever he wanted to jump out, he was always kicked back by powerlessness.

Ended up struggling in agony inside.

On the other side, Qi Yu has also been busy in the court for a long time, ignoring political affairs for a long time, in exchange for a lot of trouble.

"Back to the emperor, the two northern provinces are in a severe drought today, and there is almost no harvest, and now the autumn harvest, I am afraid there will be many victims."

It was the Imperial Doctor who spoke, and he was a clean official on weekdays, but he was a little pedantic.

Qi Yu nodded, while looking at the fold in his hand, Northern Xia retreated, and the frontier was much more stable.

"Lord Chu, what do you think of this?" Qi Yu put down the fold and looked at Chu Xingchen.

Hearing this, Chu Xingchen stood up from among the courtiers, and today Qi Yu suddenly went to court, and most of the people in the court were waiting to see his jokes.

But who is Chu Xingchen, his temperament of not being afraid of heaven and earth has never changed.

"The people are great, there is still some silver in the treasury, and disaster relief is great, as for the rest, I am afraid that the taxes in the north will be reduced today."

As soon as the words fell, someone followed, "I'm afraid that the prince of Chu is not joking, now that Northern Xia is eyeing the tiger and the treasury is empty, the prince is not taxing, but also needs disaster relief, and he is really long-term." ”

Chu Xingchen smiled coldly, "Knowing that this king has a long-term vision, keep your mouth shut." ”

"You ......" The minister was so angry that Chu Xingchen's flamboyant temperament had offended many people recently.

"Ask the emperor to decide."

"Ask the emperor to decide."

One person spoke, and many people in the court also knelt down and echoed.

Seeing this, Chu Xingchen just glanced at it coldly, and didn't even say a word of justification. He has always been like this, and if it weren't for Meng Qi's help in dealing with court affairs during this time, I'm afraid he would have offended all the ministers.
