Chapter Ninety-Six: Smooth Escape

"The moon in the palace is indeed not as beautiful as the outside!" Lin Yufu sat in the courtyard with a cloak, she looked at the full moon in the sky, not knowing what she was thinking.

Shen Jieyu stepped forward, looked at the full moon in the sky, and then nodded and said, "It's been a long time, and I've almost forgotten what the moon looks like outside the palace!" โ€

Lin Yufu looked at Shen Jieyu, thought about it, and said hesitantly: "Jieyu Niangniang, do you understand the emperor?" โ€

Shen Jieyu was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Where can I understand the emperor, the king's heart is unpredictable, and you don't know this sentence!" With that, she covered her mouth and realized that she had said something she shouldn't have said.

"Yes, your heart is unpredictable!" Lin Yufu smiled, looked at the moon in the sky and muttered, "I don't know what the moon in the Northern Barbarians is like!" โ€

Shen Jieyu didn't speak, His Royal Highness Su Meng was going back to Beiban the day after tomorrow, and if he went back, it meant that marrying Lin Yufu was on the agenda, probably before winter this year, Lin Yufu was going to marry Beiban.

After all, the peace of the north needs to be maintained sooner rather than later.

Thinking of this, even Shen Jieyu sighed slightly.

"But I think His Royal Highness Su Meng is also sincere to you, you should be happy if you marry him!"

Lin Yufu listened and smiled slightly.

"Jieyu Niangniang, do you love the emperor?"

"What?" Shen Jieyu listened, her face was slightly red, she shook her head and said: "I don't know what love is, I have more respect for the emperor." But I know that all my life, I am the emperor's woman, and I can't be allowed to think about other things. โ€

Lin Yufu didn't speak, just quietly looked at the bright moon above her head.

"The Queen Mother has arrived!"

The eunuch's voice made Lin Yufu come back to his senses in an instant! She and Shen Jieyu stood up and watched Xu Zhaoyi, who was wearing a regular suit, slowly walk into the Xianyou Palace.

She glanced at Lin Yufu and stopped talking.

"See the Queen!" They hurriedly saluted.

"Excuse me!" Xu Zhaoyi raised his hand to let them get up, and then sat on the chair, but his eyes kept glancing at Lin Yufu.

"This palace came today to say a few words to Lord Dai'an!"

"With me?" Lin Yufu was a little surprised!

"Hmm!"

Shen Jieyu didn't understand what was going on, but she still nodded and said, "Then the concubine will retire first!" โ€

After saying that, she obediently left the place.

Lin Yufu didn't know why, and looked up at Xu Zhaoyi. Xu Zhaoyi also felt that what he wanted to say was a little difficult to say, and he couldn't say a word for a long time.

"Queen Mother, whatever you want to say, just say it!"

Xu Zhaoyi looked at her, thinking that he was also confused, and he actually came to ask Lin Yufu about this, he was really sick and rushed to the doctor, it was too cheap!

"Forget it, it's nothing, you just don't think the palace has been here!" With that, she stood up and prepared to leave.

"Queen Mother!" Lin Yufu is not a fool, so she can naturally see that Xu Zhaoyi is really coming to her again!

"If there is anything to tell the courtiers, I won't tell others!"

Xu Zhaoyi looked at Lin Yufu's sincere eyes, thought for a long time, and then sat down and said: "Until the wedding in this palace, the emperor has not come to Qiwu Palace for the night!" She crossed her fingers and said, "Hongu ยทยทยทยทยทยท"

"Niangniang, you won't be, you want to ask me something, the art of the man, right?" As soon as the words came out, Lin Yufu himself blushed half, he had really been in Qinyunju for a long time, and he spoke almost like Zhao Yuru!

Xu Zhaoyi listened, hurriedly stood up, shook his head and said, "This palace still shouldn't come!" Never mind! โ€

"!" Lin Yufu hurriedly stood up and grabbed Xu Zhaoyi again and said, "I understand you!" โ€

After all, she used to want to know how to get Yan Linjun's heart!

"But the emperor is not an ordinary man, I'm afraid that my method is not very applicable!" Lin Yufu smiled awkwardly and said: "The emperor has been busy these days, and it is inevitable that he will be tired. I heard that the ladies of the palace rarely see the emperor! โ€

Xu Zhaoyi lowered his head a little aggrieved, bit his lip and said, "This palace knows that those ladies are laughing at me." A dignified queen mother, she was hung in the palace after the wedding, and the emperor didn't even summon me once. Today, my aunt entered the palace and counted me down for this matter! I went to the emperor, but I made a mess of it! If it weren't for the fact that I really couldn't do it, I wouldn't have come to you! The more she spoke, the more excited she became, and she lowered her head and sobbed quietly.

Lin Yufu sighed, even if she has become the queen mother of the world, she is still a child who has not grown up in her bones. No matter how calm and self-respecting the Xu family taught her, when she encountered grievances, she couldn't hold it in her heart!

"! In fact, it is not difficult to win the hearts of men! Lin Yufu stubbornly said: "The courtiers have some methods, but I don't know if they are useful to the emperor!" โ€

"Really?" Xu Zhaoyi raised his head happily, and then lowered his head.

"Actually, this palace doesn't like you, I still remember what you caused in our Xu family! But if you can really help this palace capture the emperor's favor, then this palace will not hold a grudge against you! โ€

Listening to this childish words, Lin Yufu also smiled.

But when I thought about it, I felt worried.

Let her teach Xu Zhaoyi, I'm afraid that the more she teaches, the more useless she becomes!

"But it's getting late now, tomorrow, tomorrow, the courtiers will talk to you about it!"

Xu Zhaoyi naturally couldn't show that he was in a hurry, so he could only nod reservedly and said, "Okay!" Then this palace will come back to you tomorrow! โ€

"Hmm!" Lin Yufu responded, and then watched Xu Zhaoyi leave the Xianyou Palace!

After watching her leave, she frowned, walked a few steps back and forth in the courtyard, and called a little eunuch.

"Early tomorrow morning, as soon as the palace door opens, you will go to Zhao's mansion, find the head of Zhao, and let her enter the palace to find me!"

"Yes!"

"Remember, you must be early, before she goes to the camp on the outskirts of Beijing!" After Lin Yufu instructed him repeatedly, he went to sleep uneasily.

Zhao Yuru was much busier than she thought, it was already late at night, and she was still in prison.

The king of Nan'an County sat on the side, interrogating Hou Liming with an unchanged face. But Zhao Yuru was yawning vigorously.

She didn't want to come, but after all, it was related to the Zhao family, Zhao Yujing was taking care of the Tian family, the place in the prison was damp and cold, and Zhao Guan should not come over to suffer when he was old.

The one who came here could only be Zhao Yuru.

She didn't expect that how could she interrogate a prisoner in the middle of the night?

Hou Liming looked at the past covered in blood, he should have been tortured in prison, Zhao Yuru endured the nausea in his heart, and at the same time pretended to be serious and listened to the question of the king of Nan'an.

"Last time you said that King Huaiyang instructed you to do all this?" Yan Zening asked coldly.

"Yes! It's all at the behest of Huaiyang Wang Yan Linjun! Hou Liming said weakly.

"How did you and Yan Linjun meet?"

"The little one met the King of Huaiyang when he was doing business, and at that time I fell in love with his woman, I knew that I was delusional, but I didn't expect the prince to be willing to endure the pain of love, and the little one was flattered, so he vowed to be loyal to the prince for the rest of his life!"

"So when he asked you to poison the Zhao family, you didn't hesitate to do it?"

"Yes!"

"Wait a minute!" Zhao Yuru interrupted the conversation between the two and said, "Lord Wang, you also concluded too early that it was the King of Huaiyang who did it, right?" That's not quite right, is it? โ€

Although Zhao Yuru was sleepy, she still felt that something was wrong, she heard that in the main hall, the king of Nan'an County had been speaking for Yan Linjun, but why did it seem to be completely opposite during the interrogation?

"Oh? This king is just assuming! As for whether he did it or not, he could still see flaws in his speech! โ€

Zhao Yu is such a good person, she knows that the king of Nan'an definitely doesn't want the king of Huaiyang to have a good time! She rubbed her eyes and said, "Can I ask a few words?" โ€

"Mr. Zhao, please take care of it!"

Zhao Yuru stood up, picked up Hou Liming's information and said, "You are from the slums on the other side of the river, right?" โ€

"Yes!"

"You lived with your blind old lady, and at the age of fifteen you went to work as an apprentice in an embroidery workshop in the city, and because you were a quick learner, you soon gained the trust of your boss to marry your daughter. When he died, the embroidery was handed over to you. You made the embroidery workshop bigger and turned it into a splendid workshop that everyone in Beijing knows, and you also took your blind old lady to live together! โ€

"Yes!"

The king of Nan'an looked at Zhao Yuru and didn't understand what she was asking for!

"But five years later, your wife died of illness, and after you lived with your wife for a while, you met Fang Jingyu, the murderer of the Great Commander of Khurtu!"

"Jing Yu is not!" He suddenly said excitedly: "Jing Yu was framed by you!" For you guys! โ€

Looking at the excited Hou Liming, Zhao Yuru didn't say anything, just flipped through the information and continued: "After Fang Jingyu passed the door, you sent your blind old lady away, she didn't want to live in the yard you bought, and returned to the slums, you sent someone to guard her and take care of her daily life!" โ€

She closed the information, shook her head and said, "It seems that I really married a daughter-in-law and forgot my mother!" โ€

"Sect Leader Zhao, these are all things we know, there is no need to continue to ask!" Yan Zening reminded him.

"So the most important person in your life is Fang Jingyu! Secondly, it's your mother! Am I right? โ€

Faced with this question, Hou Liming thought for a while and nodded.

"Then I wonder why you killed your own mother!"

"Becauseยทยทยทยทยทยท Because I know I can't live, and if I die, my mother won't live either! It's better to be a companion together on Huangquan Road! โ€

"I heard that he was a filial son!" Zhao Yuru sneered and said, "However, since you are the person of the King of Huaiyang, why are you sure that you will definitely die?" โ€

As soon as these words came out, Hou Liming's face changed.

"If I'm not mistaken, the first person to find you is the King of Huaiyang! He could have helped you escape, and with his power, we would never find you. Why don't you ask him? โ€

"Because the prince will not let me go! He's going to kill me with his own hands! Hou Liming raised his head and said excitedly: "He is afraid that the matter will be revealed, and he will definitely kill me with his own hands!" โ€

"Really?" Zhao Yuru sneered and said, "Then now that the matter has been revealed, why are you still alive?" Before I found you, the King of Huaiyang had a thousand ways to make you disappear without a trace, but he still handed you over to me! And in the prison, it is not uncommon for someone to die, with his ability, he can easily kill you here, but you are still alive! I don't believe that King Huaiyang would be so stupid to keep you as a hidden danger until now, so that he can confess what he has done! โ€

Hou Liming was speechless for a moment.

"If you are really the person of King Huaiyang, you have been doing things for him. Even if he can't get around you, it's still possible to let your mother go, right? You didn't ask him, and directly ended your mother's life, is it because you know that when you say that the mastermind behind the scenes is the King of Huaiyang, he will definitely kill your family in anger? simply solve it by yourself first, and if you don't have any worries, you can bite him! โ€

"I didn't! No! Hou Liming shook his head and denied it vigorously.

"You said before, Fang Jingyu is all our fault! This we, in addition to me, also have the King of Huaiyang, right? Everyone knows that he forced Fang Jingyu to commit suicide! Do you want to seek revenge on me, but don't you want to seek revenge on him? โ€

Yan Zening listened, and his face was a little bad.

This Zhao Yuru, why is his tongue so powerful?

"Not only do you not want to seek revenge on him, but you continue to obey him and frame me with a poisonous needle? That's not right! I think that you have planned it, poisoned me, and framed Yan Linjun, killing two birds with one stone, you can also go to Huangquan Road to accompany your wife, am I right? โ€

"That's not right! You talk nonsense! You're talking nonsense! Hou Liming shook his head and said, "It was King Huaiyang who instructed me to do it!" It's him! โ€

"After you think about how to lie, let's frame him!" Zhao Yuru turned around disdainfully, yawned and looked at Yan Zening and said, "Lord Jun, is there anything else you want to ask?" โ€

The implication is that this guy is framed, and there are too many flaws!

Yan Zening's face was a little embarrassed, he thought that if he came to the people of the Zhao family, they would definitely be carried away by anger and accept Hou Liming's words in full. But I didn't expect Zhao Yuru to be not only very calm, but also very clear in thinking. In just a few words, he saw through Hou Liming's lies!

Yan Zening frowned, and a trace of murderous aura slowly appeared in his eyes.

Zhao Yuru turned around, and as soon as he wanted to speak, he caught the fleeting killing intent in Yan Zening's eyes.

She felt a chill down her spine, lowered her face and said, "Lord Jun, you have always believed in the innocence of King Huaiyang, and now you can finally rest assured!" โ€

Yan Zening heard this, and after a while, he showed a smile.

"Yes! In this way, the king will be relieved! โ€

The two looked at each other and smiled, but each had their own thoughts.

"Oops, I'm sleepy!" Zhao Yuru stretched his waist and said: "I'm sorry, Lord Wang, there are still many things to do in the camp on the outskirts of Beijing tomorrow, and the lower officials have to go back first!" โ€

"Oh! Don't dare to delay! The king of Nan'an County arched his hand and said, "Han Qing, send Mr. Zhao back!" โ€

"Not necessarily!" Zhao Yuru immediately refused and said, "How can you bother the prince of the county?" My people are already waiting at the gate of the prison, please stay! โ€

Yan Zening nodded and watched her slowly walk out of the prison.

Zhao Yuru walked out calmly, and as soon as he returned to his family's carriage, he was so weak that he almost collapsed.

"Hurry back home! Right away! โ€

The coachman didn't dare to slack off, and drove the carriage to Zhao Mansion quickly.

Zhao Yuru left, and the interrogation here can be regarded as over. Yan Zening asked Hou Liming to be taken down, and this chess piece was scrapped so easily!

"Lord Wang, this Zhao Yuru seems to be a little different from the one we knew before!" Han Qing stepped forward and said respectfully.

"Yes! How did she become so eloquent? Yan Zening said with a little headache: "I originally wanted to use Hou Liming to ruthlessly Yin Yan Linjun for a while, and then I reconciled it and gained the trust of the emperor and Yan Linjun!" But now it's all messed up by her! โ€

"Then do you want to deal with her in a small way?" Han Qing asked in a low voice.

"You? Are you confident? โ€

Han Qing was silent, confronting him head-on, he was indeed not Zhao Yuru's opponent!

"The Zhao family is probably an ancestor who has accumulated virtue, all of them are blessed with great lives, and those who can come back alive from the battlefield are generally difficult to die!"

"So what now?"

"It's okay, anyway, she's going to guard the northern border soon, hero, just die on the battlefield!"

Han Qing understood and didn't continue to speak.

But Zhao Yuru didn't know that what he did not only affected Yan Zening, but also Yan Linyu!

"What did you say?" Yan Linyu looked at the guard in front of him with some uncertainty and said, "Zhao Yuru is like this, helping Ah Huan get away with it?" โ€

"Yes! His subordinates were in the prison, watching Chief Zhao interrogate Hou Liming. The logic is meticulous, Hou Liming can't resist it at all! โ€

The guard reported Zhao Yuru's performance during the interrogation, and there was some admiration in his eyes!

"Okay, this Zhao Yuru! In the past, eight poles couldn't make a single sentence, but now it's good, a few words can make people subdued! โ€

The guard bowed his head and didn't speak!

"I originally wanted to let Yan Zening, an old fox, show his tail by himself, but now his tail has been cut off by Zhao Yuru! We can't see anything anymore! โ€

"Your Majesty, what should I do now?"

"What else can I do?" Yan Linyu was angry and wanted to laugh.

"Then return the King of Huaiyang to his innocence! That's fine, even if he owes Zhao Yuru once, and then go to the north, the two can get along better! โ€

"Yes!"

Yan Linyu looked at the full moon outside the window, shook his head and said, "Zhao Yuru, Zhao Yuru, you used to be a lucky general, but now you are a living treasure!" โ€

Zhao Yuru didn't know that he was named a "living treasure", and he didn't sleep long after returning home, and he was called up.

"What are you doing, didn't you see what time I came back?" She got up so angry that she could only scold Doro!

"It's someone from the palace, it's Miss Yufu, no, it's the lord of Dai'an County who summoned you to the palace!"

"What? What time is this, what are you calling me in so early? โ€

"I don't know, but the county lord told you to go in, and you have to go in too!"

Zhao Yuru rolled her eyes. is a county lord, but the official authority is very great!
