Chapter Eighty-Seven: Whose Child Belongs
"The old gentleman sweeps the temple with incense every day, and there is such a wonderful scenery to wash his heart, away from the world, do you also have troubles?"
The hero walked into the pavilion and asked with a smile.
"Your Highness." The old temple gave a salute, and then said: "If people's hearts are insufficient, there will be troubles, this mountain is in the world, how can the old decay be exempt from the vulgar?" β
"Then I don't know what the old gentleman is worried about, can His Highness help me?"
The hero stepped forward to the edge of the pavilion, only to see the clouds and mist in front of him, and the drizzle blowing with the wind, like a fairyland.
"The troubles of old decay, Your Highness can't help you."
"Is it that you can't help, not that you can't help?"
The corners of Lao Miaozhu's mouth moved, and he could barely call it a smile: "Because if Your Highness helps me, then my troubles will become Your Highness's troubles, which is not good." β
"Oh? It seems that the old gentleman is asking so much that even I have no choice but to do it. β
"Your Highness is a young man in the end, this self-confidence, it seems that the old man once had it, but unfortunately he can't remember it now."
The hero pursed his lips and stopped talking.
Originally, he was not interested in the troubles of Lao Miaozhu, but he was bored in his heart, and he had nothing to say, who would have thought that the old man would actually fight with him, and this was exactly his least favorite way to speak.
Unexpectedly, he was silent, and the old temple was interested, and turned his face to look at him very seriously.
Being stared at by a man, and being a white-bearded old man, doesn't feel wonderful at all.
"Uh...... The old gentleman just had something to say. β
"There are many fools in the world, and rumors cannot be trusted."
Hey, it's still exciting, isn't it?! There is no Buddha in this world, what are you pretending to be a monk here!
"The old gentleman has also heard of His Highness?" The hero patiently answered.
"Debauchery and tyranny, the head of the evil man, known as: Six Yang Silver Demon."
Six Yang Silver Demon? Sounds a little more domineering than the six-fingered piano demon. However, people have their own three points of romance, and Lao Tzu can only make the eldest girl and the little daughter-in-law retreat.
Well, nine times out of ten, you'll spit on it.
"The old gentleman thinks the rumors are wrong?"
"If the rumors are correct, the old man has already offended His Highness at this time, should His Highness do something?"
"Maybe I'm worried about face, and I plan to send someone up the mountain to find you later."
"To be so calm, at least His Highness has no shortage of wisdom, and it is better to be a tyrant in the future than a faint king."
The hero smiled: "The old gentleman can see it." β
"That's because no matter whether His Highness is violent or unconscious, it won't affect old age."
The hero shook his head, thinking that it might be more annoying to stay any longer, so he simply nodded and turned to leave.
"Your Highness," Old Miao Zhu spoke again, "what do you think of those heroic spirits in the hall?" β
The hero turned around suddenly, wondering in his heart: Is it a coincidence? Or does the old man know something?
After a moment of silence, he replied, "The martyrs are more suitable for my name than I am." β
"If Your Highness is allowed to move with them, how will Your Highness choose?"
The hero frowned.
He was too familiar with this kind of problem, and this is how the demigod realm came about. Could it be that this old temple is still the legendary "master of the world"?
Take a closer look...... Where are so many boring guys? How nice it would be to put on a briefs and save the world!
With a faint smile, the hero turned his head and left.
"Your Highness is worried that you can't deceive the old decay?" Lao Miaozhu asked.
I also want to use the method of agitation, which is even more naΓ―ve than Lao Tzu.
"No, you are not qualified to let His Highness deceive."
The hero's answer was arrogant.
The old temple was stunned for a moment, and then smiled, and the folds on his face were squeezed together one by one, like dead wood in spring.
He saluted the hero's back and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, the old man wishes you good luck and a prosperous journey!" β
β¦β¦
That night, in the depths of the Xiao Mansion mansion, Liu Xiaomei sat in front of the window of a delicate embroidery building, looking at the lack of moon in the sky and crying silently.
"Brother Da Lang, don't hate me, I have no choice but to do it. If I had a choice, I would rather die with you than stay in this hellish place on earth.
But...... But I can't......"
Tears fell on her lower abdomen like beads with broken threads, and she found it, and hurriedly wiped them away with her hands, but she didn't dare to use force, just wiped them gently, as if there was something precious in the world.
"So, the reason why you slandered Zhao Dalang in court is because you are pregnant with a child?"
A cold voice sounded, Liu Xiaomei was startled, and when she raised her face, she saw a woman wearing a veil standing outside the window.
This is the second floor!
Liu Xiaomei almost exclaimed, hurriedly retreated, and asked with a white face, "You...... Who are you? β
"It doesn't matter who I am." The woman floated motionless in mid-air, "To answer my question, whose child is in your belly?" β
As soon as she heard the child, Liu Xiaomei's expression immediately became resolute and fierce, pulled out the hairpin from her head, gritted her teeth and said, "Don't come here!" Otherwise, I'll fight with you! β
The woman raised her hand and flicked her fingers, and the hairpin in Liu Xiaomei's hand was broken into two.
"It's easy for me to kill you, or the child in your womb. So, obediently answering the questions is the only thing you can do right now. β
Liu Xiaomei looked at the half-hairpin in her hand blankly, covered her face for a long time and slowly squatted down, whimpering in despair: "Who are you?" What do you want? I'm just an ordinary peasant woman, I just want to live a peaceful life with my husband, why don't you big people just refuse to let us go......"
The woman was silent for a moment, and then changed her tone: "I was entrusted by Zhao Dalang to help you." β
Liu Xiaomei raised her head suddenly: "You...... You're lying! It's impossible for Da Lang to know such a powerful person as you, and you're still in prison, how can you be entrusted? β
Oh, this woman is much smarter than her husband.
The veiled woman is naturally a hero, he smiled and said, "To tell you the truth, the reason why Zhao Dalang blocked the road and shouted grievances was precisely because His Royal Highness the Young Palace Lord asked him to do it. It's a pity that the Xiao family was prepared, and you helped Xiao Jianye speak in the court, which led to the current situation.
Your Highness believes that your husband and wife have a deep relationship, and there must be a hidden relationship in it, so he sent me to come late at night to ask you about it. β
"What you said is true?" Liu Xiaomei rushed to the window in surprise.
The hero nodded: "Now, can you answer my question honestly?" β
Liu Xiaomei lowered her head again, stroked her lower abdomen, and looked at pity: "This is my child with Brother Da Lang." β
"Zhao Dalang doesn't know?"
Liu Xiaomei shook her head and sighed: "I was also arrested here before I was suddenly happy." β
"Understood. It was Xiao Jianye who threatened you with the child in your belly and asked you to slander Zhao Dalang in court, right? β
Liu Xiaomei began to cry again: "I don't want to, but I can't help it." They gave me poison and said that if there was no cure, my child would die.
This is my child with Brother Da Lang, I can't ......"
"Stupid! How can there be such a poison in the world? If there is, it should also be called an abortion pill, and there is no antidote. β
Liu Xiaomei's face instantly turned as white as paper.
