Chapter 20: Change
Su Li walked in front of Hu Shu and blocked her behind. He looked at the golden pupils, his brow furrowed slightly.
"Your eyes ......" he raised his hand, and a ray of flame slowly converged.
Hu Shu hurriedly pulled Su Li, "What are you doing!"
Li Yuan kept looking at Su Li, without speaking or expression.
In the middle of the ring, Su Li extinguished the flames and walked towards the outside of the mansion.
"This dead fox, his temper is really weird!" Hu Shu pursed her lips and walked back with Li Yuan.
The Royal Palace of the Kingdom of North Vietnam.
"You said that Hu Shu rejected his father?"
The young man couldn't close his mouth, and his eyes smiled like a crescent moon.
"Yes, Your Highness Ye. The maid hurriedly responded, her eyes glancing at the boy from time to time.
Beiye is the youngest son of the current emperor, eighteen years old, righteous, hearty, knowledgeable, deeply respected by the ministers, and the emperor also appointed him as the prince.
It's just that Bei Ye is very reluctant to get married, he has a straight nose and thin lips, and he looks handsome, and many women admire him.
And Bei Ye didn't seem to have any interest in women, and after a long time, the people in the palace felt that he was suspected of breaking his sleeves.
"Sanxi!" Bei Ye shouted, and a little eunuch hurriedly ran over.
"What's the matter with Your Highness?"
Bei Ye had already walked past him, "Hurry up and prepare a carriage, I have to thank this girl." ”
Sanxi hurriedly chased after him, "But Your Highness, it's almost dark!"
It was another moonlit night, dotted with stars scattered across the deep blue sky.
The entire Hu Mansion was silent, except for a few subordinates who were keeping vigil, everyone else had fallen asleep.
Li Yuan lived in the room next to Hu Shu, he picked up a lamp on the table, put on his clothes and walked outside. He had never liked the night, for it always reminded him of the countless nights he had spent in the dark barnhouse.
Li Yuan raised his hand, and his fingertips seemed to still have the temperature of that day.
He spent sixteen years in darkness, thinking that he would live his life in resentment.
Until Hu Shu's words, he changed all his thoughts.
Perhaps, in the dark, God still took pity on him and let him meet the only person who understood his eyes, so as to dissolve the pain and hatred of his body.
He decided to follow Hu Shu, no matter what his identity, he would always be by her side.
But Hu Shu can only be his, and he will not allow anyone to rob him of his only warmth.
"King Ye is here! go and tell the master!" Suddenly, a commotion came, and several subordinates hurriedly ran in front of Li Yuan's eyes.
King Ye?Li Yuan's golden eyes narrowed slightly.
Hu Kuo was sleeping soundly, and was suddenly woken up by a knock on the door, and just wanted to get angry.
"Master, King Ye is here!"
Hu Kuo was startled, quickly suppressed his anger, woke up Madame Zi, hurriedly dressed and ran out.
Bei Ye was waiting in the hall, Sanxi stood next to him and fanned him, he waved his hand impatiently, signaling Sanxi to stop.
"Lone didn't want to make such a big noise, you have to report it!" Bei Ye leaned into Sanxi's ear and glared at him.
Hu Kuo, Mrs. Zi and others hurriedly came to the hall, and seeing that the prince had already sat down, he hurriedly wiped his sweat and knelt in front of Beiye with a smile.
"Your Highness, it's the ministers who are lazy, I just didn't expect you to come to my mansion so late!"
Hu Kuo's eyelids are still a little open, so he can only vent in his heart, he really deserves to be a father and son, one came early in the morning, and the other came in the middle of the night, but when he was sleeping soundly.
The corners of Beiye's lips hooked, and a beautiful arc appeared, "Lone just wants to walk casually, so I'll come to your mansion." ”
Hu Kuo was stunned for a moment, not understanding what he meant.
Beiye quickly stood up, "I'm going back, I'll come back another day." After saying that, Chong Sanxi winked, and the two walked quickly towards the outside of the hall.
Hu Kuo was still kneeling there, with a fire in his heart, dare to love that His Royal Highness Ye just came to toss him, and then left?
Bei Ye and Sanxi hid in the courtyard, and when they saw that Hu Kuo and the others had gone back, they secretly ran out.
"Temple...... Your Highness, what are we going to do here?" Sanxi helped his red tasseled hat and grabbed Beiye again.
Bei Ye opened his hand, "I heard that Hu Kuo and the others are very bad to Hu Shu, so I want to find her by myself." ”
Sanxi grabbed his sleeve again, "Then Your Highness, what are we looking for her for?"
Bei Ye threw off his sleeves again, glared at Sanxi, and tiptoed towards Mrs. Wan's courtyard.
As soon as he entered the yard, Sanxi looked panicked, and a gust of evening wind blew, and he sneezed directly.
Sanxi hurriedly turned around to see if there was anyone, it was okay not to look back, and he scared himself half to death when he turned around.
A young man with golden eyes was watching him from a short distance!
"Ahh
Sanxi sat on the ground and hugged Beiye's thighs.
Bei Ye hurriedly turned around and looked startled when he saw Li Yuan, but he quickly regained his composure.
"Are you a monster?" Bei Ye stood in front of Sanxi and quietly held the hilt of the sword at his waist.
Li Yuan's smile slowly bloomed, and under the background of the night, those eyes were a little weird.
"I'm not a demon, I just want to ask His Highness a question. ”
He stepped forward slowly, "If Hu Shu keeps not agreeing to marry you, will there be any consequences?"
Seeing that His Royal Highness had already stood in front of him, Sanxi stood up tremblingly and pointed at Li Yuan, "Hmph! No matter whose daughter she is! If she dares to disobey the holy decree, it will be a dead end!"
Bei Ye glanced back at Sanxi and motioned for him not to talk too much. "On my father's side, I will try my best to intercede and persuade him to give up Hu Lan's last wish. ”
Bei Ye looked at Li Yuan, who was half a head shorter than him, although this person was younger than him, it seemed unfathomable.
"Plea?" Li Yuan sneered, "My things will not be given to anyone." ”
He ignored Bei Ye and walked towards Hu Shu's house.
Just half an hour ago, he had already sprinkled oil around the house, waiting for Beiye.
Li Yuan naturally moved Hu Shu outside, but Mrs. Wan was still asleep in the house.
He smiled faintly, "As a mother, let's sacrifice for Shu." ”
Li Yuan quickly threw down the lamp in his hand and ran to the side, and as soon as he ran a few steps away, the whole room was already on fire!
"What are you doing!" Bei Ye hurriedly ran over, took off his coat, scooped up the water in the pool, and hurriedly threw it towards the house.
Seeing this, Sanxi ran to call someone in a panic.
Li Yuan looked at the fire in front of him, and his golden pupils were dyed a layer of red.
"His Royal Highness Ye deliberately set fire to Hu Shu in order not to marry Hu Shu, and pretended to extinguish the fire, which is really a good show. He chuckled, turned and disappeared into the night.
Bei Ye knew that he had been tricked, but the most important thing at the moment was to save people, and he was just about to rush in, when Sanxi suddenly rushed over and grabbed him.
"Your Highness, if something happens to you, the minion won't be able to save his life!"
There was a sound of footsteps, and almost everyone in Hufu arrived, and everyone hurriedly picked up the bucket and struggled to extinguish the fire.
Hu Kuo hurriedly ran to Beiye's side and looked at him with a worried expression, "Is Your Highness injured?"
Bei Ye pushed Sanxi away and looked at Hu Kuo anxiously, "Don't you go in to save people!"
Seeing that he was about to rush in again, Hu Kuo and Sanxi grabbed him almost at the same time, Hu Kuo slapped Bei Ye on the back of the neck, Bei Ye fell down at once, Sanxi hurriedly supported him, and hurriedly waved to a few subordinates, "Hurry up and carry His Highness away!"
Madame Zi snickered in the crowd, although she didn't know what the reason was for the fire, but if she really burned Wanping's mother and daughter to death, then Princess Ye would not be able to do it in Hushu's turn.
An hour later, the fire was extinguished, the door of the house had long since been reduced to ashes, and the furnishings inside were almost scorched.
Next to her should be Hu Shu, whose face has been burned to a blur, and she also fell there.
Hu Kuo covered his nose in disgust, trying not to inhale the stench of burning.
He waved his hand and motioned for one of his servants to see if there were any jewels left.
After a while, the man ran out in a panic, holding a piece of paper that was about to burn in his hand, and hurriedly handed it to Hu Kuo.
He took the paper, and when he read the words on it, he quickly tore it to shreds.
On that paper, there were four big words written on it: Beiye arson!
Hu Kuo rubbed his temples and glanced at the other subordinate, only to see that the person who had just handed the paper was pierced through the chest by a sword, and blood was splattered on the ground.
Hu Kuo frowned, turned around and went back.
The sound of birdsong in the early morning woke Hu Shu up, and she sat up, Li Yuan was looking at her worriedly.
"Where is this?" Hu Shu hurriedly got out of bed.
"Shu...... This is the house where I used to be. Li Yuan stopped her, and there seemed to be a faint sadness in her golden eyes.
"There's no need to go back, your mother...... It's dead. ”
Hu Shu chuckled, "Am I dreaming? ”
She bit her lip tightly, and tears flowed from her eyes.
In the middle of the sound, she pushed Li Yuan away and ran out quickly!
In front of the Hu Mansion, Hu Kuo was seeing off Beiye.
"The arsonist, have you been caught?" Bei Ye looked at Hu Kuo seriously.
"The minister hasn't caught it yet, but His Royal Highness Ye can rest assured that the minister will definitely do his best. Hu Kuo bent down, thinking to himself what kind of calculation His Highness Ye was making.
Li Yuan led Hu Shu to the backyard of Hu Mansion and climbed through the hole in the wall.
As soon as Hu Shu climbed in, she saw the charred house.
Her smart eyes dimmed for a moment, a tear slipped down, she got up and quickly wanted to run over, Li Yuan hugged her tightly.
"Let go of me!" Hu Shu desperately broke free, and suddenly the scene in front of her made her feel that all the strength in her body had been exhausted.
Two servants were carrying Mrs. Wan's body and slowly walking towards the crematorium.
It was like there was a boulder in her chest, and she was about to breathe, and she couldn't hold back it anymore, and she cried out.
Li Yuan hurriedly took out a porcelain bottle, and a light blue gas came out, and Hu Shu only felt that it was dark in front of her and fainted.
He looked at Hu Shu's face full of tears, and there seemed to be a trace of unbearability in his eyes.
"Shu, forgive me. ”
In the middle of the ring, he picked up Hu Shu and left.
