Chapter 49: The Feast of the Hung Gate (2)

Zhu Xian endured his anger, held the armrests of the chair tightly with both hands, and said with a dry smile: "Look at this trouble, this king has forgotten all the business and chatted while drinking!" Someone came to serve wine to Lord Siqing. ”

"Yes" replied timidly, and Ma Yujiao responded, holding a mahogany tray in both hands, on which was a silver and gem-encrusted wine jug, the same wine glass. She slowly walked to the table and saluted the two of them separately: "Yujiao has seen adults and princesses. ”

"Okay, don't be polite" Zhu Xian glanced at her impatiently, secretly gave her a hint of what she should do, then got up and lifted the wine jug and poured a glass of wine, put the poured wine glass on the tray and said, "Toast before Lord Lu." ”

"Yes" Although Ma Yujiao was trying her best to control it, she still couldn't control herself, and walked towards Lu Jue with this wine glass weighing more than a thousand catties. Maybe it's shame, maybe it's fear of the oppressive king's spirit. Ma Yujiao didn't dare to look up at Lu Jue directly, she lowered her head and thought about what Lu Jue said in the morning, is it really worth giving everything for this man who regards himself as noble, even including his own life and the life of the entire family? Could it be that he successfully poisoned Lu Jue, and with Zhu Xian's temperament, he may not be able to get the position of the concubine; Obtain the position of the mother in the world. I'm afraid that my family will only die even more miserably! I am no longer the ignorant cardamom woman, I have passed the age of willful nonsense, and I have deeply imagined that it is time to wake up! The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became, and when she came to Lu Jue, she saw that his eyes were as calm as water, and she was even more timid, and hurriedly lowered her head and said cowardly: "Big, adult, please use wine." With a slight trembling hand, he handed it over.

"Thank you" Lu Jue took the wine glass and smiled modestly, and glanced at Ma Yujiao, who was weak-hearted. He looked at Zhu Xian in a blink of an eye, and raised his glass to show thanks: "Weichen Xie Wang Ye gave wine." Just as he was about to drink, a hand reached out.

Liu Lingling just learned that Lu Jue already knew his true life experience, so he redefined his identity, he can only be his own master, and the companion is like a tiger that makes him afraid of Lu Jue, at this time he regards his fate above all else. immediately stopped Lu Jue's movements, and said, "Young master, let the minions try to see if there is poison." ”

Lu Jue skillfully dodged his hand, looked at him deeply for a moment, and said with a smile: "Life and death are life and wealth, how long can I live, you and I can be the master, maybe in an instant." As soon as the words fell, he glanced lazily at everyone, and their expressions were indistinguishable. In the face of life and death, Lu Jue, as usual, held the wine glass with an elegant demeanor, slowly approached his lips, and at the same time stared intently at Ma Yujiao, who was hanging his head, undoubtedly he was gambling with his own life, winning his life to be saved, and saving a person who was deeply trapped; If you lose, you're not the only one who will die.

But Zhu Xian stared at the movements of Lu Jue's hands, compared with Lu Jue, who was calm on the verge of life and death, he was diametrically opposed, he held his breath and even sweated with his clenched hands.

Ma Yujiao's heart was also very tormented, and when she saw that the cup of poisonous wine was about to be drunk by Lu Jue, she finally couldn't stand the condemnation of her conscience and shouted: "This cup of wine is poisonous." Before he could finish speaking, he rushed up and snatched the wine glass in his hand and threw it on the ground, looking at the poisonous wine spilled on the ground, and the rebuke in his heart was slightly lessened. But in a blink of an eye, she saw Zhu Xian, who was glaring at her, and she also knew her fate, and she only pinned her hopes on Lu Jue, hoping that he could save the lives of her family, and hurriedly knelt in front of him with remorse, and said: "If the lord wants to punish, please punish only one courtier, this is just a courtier's daughter and has nothing to do with the family." ”

At this time, Lu Jue secretly breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that he had won the bet in this game. He exhaled softly, just about to speak.

Yao Minghao, who regarded Lu Jue as his eldest brother, was very angry in the face of this clear assassination. I saw him standing with his eyebrows horizontal, looking at everyone and scolding: "Who, ah! This one came out one by one, first assassination and then poisonous wine, if you have the courage, quickly stand up and admit it, if you let me find out, hum, then don't blame me for being ruthless and beating into a trick. ”

Zhu Xian saw that the matter had been revealed, and glared at Ma Yujiao viciously. Her relationship with herself has long been rumored in the capital, and if she wants to get rid of the relationship and get rid of suspicion, the only way to do it is to put all the blame on Ma Yujiao. As long as you can get rid of suspicion, you can succeed next time! After thinking about it, I saw this scumbag get up angrily, slapped it on the table and pointed at Ma Yujiao who was kneeling on the ground, and reprimanded her with a full play: "Bold poisonous woman, dare to assassinate important ministers of the court in front of this king, if this king tolerates you, it will hurt the hearts of the courtiers again, and someone will press her down and execute her quickly." ”

Faced with Zhu Xian's words, Ma Yujiao's heart was as cold as ice, her heart ached, and she was full of grievances, she still had a glimmer of hope and got up and grabbed Zhu Xian's arm, and said in a trembling voice: "Lord, how can you treat Yujiao like this, obviously 、、、、、、"

Zhu Xian's heart trembled, and she was frightened, afraid that if she continued to talk about this matter, it would only stick to herself, so she raised her hand and slapped Ma Yujiao's fair and beautiful face. He pointed to Yujiao who fell to the ground, and said with red eyes: "I have done something wrong, and I dare to push it on this king, poison the important ministers of the court, falsely accuse the royal family, and punish the two crimes together, today I don't need Lord Lu as a victim, this king 、、、、、、"

A clapping sound interrupted Zhu Xian's words, he turned his head to look at the person who clapped his hands, and the person who caught his eyes was Lu Jue.

After Lu Jue clapped his hands a few times and laughed twice, he got up and walked to Ma Yujiao's side, leaned over and helped Yujiao who fell to the ground and asked seriously, "Is it worth it?" ”

Ma Yujiao's expression was dark, her voice was full of grief, and she choked up: "It's not worth it, but it's 、、、、、、"

"It's not too late to turn back, I won't condemn anyone." Seeing that people didn't believe it, Lu Jue also knew her concerns, and said again in a serious tone: "If the gentleman says a word, if I don't move you, no one will dare to move."

Ma Yujiao was grateful and thanked him again and again: "Lord Xie Siqing, Lord Xie Siqing." ”

"No need to be grateful." After that, Lu Jue turned his head and looked at Zhu Xian, a scumbag, with a displeased expression, and used the word scum to describe him as an insult to scum. A faint snort was inaudible, but it was enough to express his displeasure: "The prince is a dignified seven-foot man, since he has the courage to do it, why don't you have the courage to admit it, even if you don't have the courage to admit it, you don't have to push it on a woman who gets along with you day and night!" ”

Haha、、、、、、 Zhu Xian laughed twice and sat back in his seat, seeing that things had come to this point, there was no need to pretend anymore, he tore off the pseudo-mask and mocked: "Lord Siqing only cares about the woman of this king, but he cares about himself, she has been in these two days and one night, and the long night is long, you don't think about him?" ”

Lu Jue clenched his fists tightly and resisted the urge to rush up to hit this person, and asked angrily, "What happened to you?" ”

Zhu Xiantian was shameless, stood up again with a hint of arrogant laughter, and slowly approached Lu Jue step by step and said: "This king really feels sorry for Lord Siqing, you have such a moving stunner by your side, but you don't know how to enjoy it, is there something wrong with your heart, which causes it to be bad in that aspect." After saying that, it was like hearing a huge joke, and I laughed wildly.

Ma Yujiao looked at the faces of the two of them once, and understood what would happen next, she was afraid that things would be out of control, so she decided to go out alone. After thinking about it, he quietly stepped back and ran towards the wing.

Lu Jue held back his anger and asked again: "What did you do to her." ”

Zhu Xian stared at Lu Jue, who was full of anger, with sarcastic eyes, and obviously saw that his breathing began to be short, so he added fuel to the fire and said: "Brother Lu is not young anymore, there are some things that should be understood, what can men and women do in the same room!" This king has to say, Brother Lu's fiancΓ©e is really different, you don't know how sweet her small and soft lips are; how seductive her slender and well-proportioned figure was; She 、、、、、、"

Zhu Xian's next words, Lu Jue, who was rushed to the top of his head with anger, didn't listen to it at all, how important innocence and chastity are to a woman, but this dignified man laughed and talked about it. If Lu Jue endures this breath at this time, he can still be regarded as a man! He was furious, gritted his teeth and shouted: "Zhu Xian, you bastard!" I saw that with his long arm, he pulled out the Longquan Sword in Yefeng's hand and swept it towards Zhu Xian's neck.

Lu Jue has always been gentle and polite in front of outsiders, and in the face of any ridicule, he laughed or used clever words to resolve the embarrassment, and everyone was shocked at this time.

Zhu Xian was also stunned by this action and stood there motionless, until he heard a shout from Wu Yong, the steward eunuch beside him, and then he hurriedly shrank his body, and the sword body brushed his hair from the top of his head. The sharp sword swept Zhu Xian's bun and the golden crown that tied his hair down. And Zhu Xian did not have the majesty of the prince at this time, he sat on the ground with a cloak and slumped, panting heavily, and only after a long time did he come back to his senses and pointed at Lu Jue and said angrily: "Lu Jue, you are so bold, you dare to kill this king, do you want to rebel!" ”

Lu Jue's hand holding the sword stretched forward, pointed the tip of the sword at Zhu Xian's nose, and glared angrily: "If Shui'er has a case, I will crush you." ”

He was just frightened by Lu Jue's sudden move, and he didn't know what was wrong for a while, but now that he came back to his senses, he remembered that he was the prince of the emperor, and everyone saw that Lu Jue would not be so bold. In an instant, the arrogance rose again, and he pointed at Lu Jue like a shrew and said: "Lu Ziyu, you are so bold, this king is the prince, you 、、、、、、" He regretted it before he finished speaking, he was dizzy with anger, he forgot that at this time, Lu Jue had the purple gold nine-dragon robe of the founding emperor in his hand, and the Longquan sword that commanded the world, that is to say, what he has is the supreme power, even if he really kills him at this time, the people here will not say anything, after all, it was his own gaffe that angered him.

Besides, Ma Yujiao hurriedly ran into the wing, and without waiting for Zhou Ruoshui to speak, she immediately stepped forward and said anxiously: "Madam, these things are too complicated and can't be explained clearly for a while, please Rong Yujiao explain to you afterwards, now please go with me!" As he spoke, he pulled Zhou Ruoshui and walked out.

Su Yuzhu walked to the door in a few steps, blocked their way and said, "She and King Qi are the same dog, and her words are not credible." ”

Looking at the disbelieving eyes of the two, Ma Yujiao said anxiously: "Lord Lu wants to kill King Qi!" If he did it, would it have ended well? ”

Zhou Ruoshui said: "Liulang is here." She glanced at Su Yuzhu reproachfully, turned around and said, "Please Miss Ma San to lead the way." ”

"Yes"

Su Yuzhu smiled with satisfaction: "It's good that I'm not a coward!" After that, he followed.

Lu Jue, who was in the garden, looked at Zhu Xian for a long time, threw the sword in his hand to the night wind, walked to Zhu Xian's side, squatted down and said with a cold light in his eyes: "I can't bear to let you not mean that I'm afraid of you, but you, challenging my bottom line again and again, it's you who find death by yourself, and I can't blame me." As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and grabbed Zhu Xian's neck.

Zhu Xian's head was unbearably swollen at this time, his whole face was also purple, and his breathing began to be difficult. He didn't expect that he could anger this little white face with a few words, and what he didn't expect was that this weak man's hand strength was not small. He grabbed Lu Jue's wrist tightly, patted his arm hard, and tried to squeeze out a few words from his mouth: "Lu Lu, Lu Jue, let go, let go." ”

That is whether the prince succeeds or not, after all, it is the emperor's son, looking at Zhu Xian, who is about to suffocate, he is afraid that Lu Jue, who has always regarded Zhou Ruoshui as a treasure, will really treat him, so he hurriedly grabbed Lu Jue's arm and said: "Young master, even if you kill him, it will be useless, the most important thing now is to find the young lady, lest she do something stupid." ”

And Lu Jue didn't look at him, but said in a cold voice: "I am your master, I know better than you how to do it." His eyes were cold and he looked at Zhu Xian coldly, and he reminded him vigorously: "I know what my identity is!" My people dare to move, I think you are impatient to live, you will do whatever it takes to clear obstacles for yourself, which is also reminding me whether I am taking this opportunity to cut the grass and eradicate the roots! I know Shui'er's character very well, you can pay for her life! He said that his subordinates had increased their strength a little more.

At this time, Zhu Xian's brain was out of control, and there was only one thought, that is, begging for mercy, he tried to squeeze out a few words and begged him for mercy: "Don't kill me, don't kill me, please don't kill me." ”

"Rokuro!" Zhou Ruoshui's voice came from afar, which made Lu Jue slightly stunned, and the strength of his subordinates was a little looser. Turning his head to see that the person had already arrived, he immediately stood up and hugged Zhou Ruoshui in his arms. He was scared, even if he had just faced the moment of life and death, he had never been afraid, but now he was afraid. The more he has, the more afraid he is of losing, and when he has true feelings for Zhou Ruoshui, he is even more afraid that she will be hurt and that she will leave him. He hugged Zhou Ruoshui tightly and didn't say a word, he only hoped that this would calm his fears, and he also hoped to tell her in the most direct way he cared about her!

Zhu Xian, who was freed, covered his neck and inhaled the long-lost air.

Zhou Ruoshui could obviously feel that Lu Jue's arm holding her was trembling slightly, although she was a little embarrassed in front of so many people, but she didn't push Lu Jue away and let him hold it like this, because she knew that because she had made Lu Jue feel a lot of heart and a lot of tiredness. Raised his hand and gently patted his tight back along the back of his neck, until he was no longer tense like this, then said softly, "Let's go back!" ”

"Okay" It took a long time for Lu Jue to respond, and hugged her tightly before he let go of his hand and turned his head to look at Zhu Xian.

Afraid that he would do something stupid, Zhou Ruoshui grabbed his arm tightly and said, "Liulang, it's easy to kill someone, but 、、、、、、"

Lu Jue turned around, gently scratched her nose, and said with a tender smile: "I know, I'll say a few words to him, and we'll go back." ”

"En" Zhou Ruoshui let go of his hand, stood there obediently and nodded, "I'll wait for you." A few simple words were enough to show all the trust she had in him.

How can such a look not be pitiful, Lu Jue couldn't help but lightly tap on her lips, walked to Zhu Xian's side, squatted down, looked at Zhu Xian who was panting and asked: "Let me ask you, is there someone who has made a plot for you to go out of Beijing to assassinate me, and he has any other moves besides making your promise?" Zhu Xian dared to put down the excellent opportunity to seize the throne at this time, and someone must have made a plan behind him. Lu Jue has a few candidates in his heart, and he must know the verification from his mouth,

Zhu Xian didn't react for a while. "What, what is the advice." ”

Lu Jue chuckled and said: "The saint is seriously ill, but any prince with a little brain knows what to do at this time, but the prince gave up this good opportunity to fight for power and seize the throne, and chose to come to Hangzhou at this time, don't tell me that you don't want to kill each other, choose to quit!" Say. ”

Lu Jue's actions just now had already scared Zhu Xian to the core, and at this time, he was undoubtedly frightened by this roar, afraid that he would really be unhappy for a while and really kill himself. Obediently replied: "Two months ago, a middle-aged man came to this king, and he said that his master had a way to help this king get the throne, and the only condition was to kill you." ”

Man, Lu Jue drew a big question mark in his heart, frowned and asked, "Have you ever seen his master?" ”

Zhu Xian hurriedly shook his head and said, "No, he came to pass the word every time." ”

Seeing that he didn't seem to be lying, Lu Jue got up and fell into thought. Yao Minghao saw him pondering, so he walked over and asked, "Brother, what should I do next?" ”

Lu Jue glanced at Yao Minghao and didn't answer in a hurry, but looked back at Zhu Xian, no matter what they said, they were brothers of flesh and blood, although they couldn't unite with the outside world, they didn't have to kill each other.

He reminded: "When I return to Beijing in the future, I will persuade the prince to divide the matter, you had better stay away from this matter of seizing the throne, don't try to test the depth of the water here, if you are restless at that time, don't talk about the throne, you will have to pay for the title and life." ”

Zhu Xian nodded timidly and said, "Understood, this king will leave tomorrow." ”

Lu Jue pursed his lips and smiled with satisfaction, and said to Yao Minghao: "It's up to you to send him back to Beijing." After speaking, without waiting for Yao Minghao to refute, he walked up to Zhou Ruoshui and took her hand, smiled softly, and said, "Let's go."

"Brother, can we still be good brothers, wait, let's discuss and discuss." As he spoke, he chased after him.
