Chapter 277: The Holy Maiden
"I'll help." Zhuo Chen, who had been silent, suddenly spoke, and rubbed Mo Shihuan's head, which was glaring back at her, as if soothingly, "But I have one condition." ”
Bai Yu'an was surprised that Zhuo Chen could take the initiative to help, but since Zhuo Chen was willing to help, he was also happy, so he raised his head at Zhuo Chen and said, "You say, what conditions?" ”
"You have to listen to my conditions," Zhuo Chen's expression was indifferent, his eyes were very firm, and he could not refute at all, "Mo Shihuan, you can't be subject to your Wu clan." ”
Mo Shihuan was stunned, and Bai Yu'an was shocked.
What did he know? Why do you say that?
Bai Yu'an's eyes rolled around, and finally smiled weirdly: "How come?" As a descendant of my Wu clan, as long as I help well, there will be no problems. ”
After speaking, as if something was chasing him behind, Bai Yu'an left in a hurry.
Mo Shihuan was stunned for a moment when the conversation between the two people said, knowing that Bai Yu'an was gone, Mo Shihuan still didn't react to what Zhuo Chen meant.
"What do you mean, I don't want to be subject to the witch clan?" Mo Shihuan rubbed his head, a little puzzled.
Looking at this, there shouldn't be much power left in the Wu Clan, no matter how you look at it, she can't be subject to the Wu Clan.
Zhuo Chen looked at her quietly, thought for a while, and finally spoke: "I have a bold guess. ”
Mo Shihuan blinked, leaned forward, and motioned for him to continue.
"I once saw an ancient book that said, 'The holy daughter of the Wu tribe was born to be sacrificed by the Wu people.' After Zhuo Chen said this, he glanced at Mo Shihuan, and seeing that she was still a little confused, he continued to infer his reasoning, "Even though as you said, there is not much power left of the Wu Clan, but with Bai Yu'an's strength and position, he should still be able to gather some Wu Clansmen, but why has he been entangled by your side?" ”
"Don't you think that he cares for you a little too deeply?" Zhuo Chen's deep eyes stared at Mo Shihuan tightly, pinched her shoulders with both hands, bent down slightly, and frowned.
In this way, it seems very suspicious.
Mo Shihuan believed that in Zhuo Chen's memory, he said that he had seen it, so he must have seen it, and as for the following inference, there is no problem with the logic at all......
Thinking like this, Mo Shihuan suddenly felt a little scared.
Zhuo Chen seemed to sense her emotions, took Mo Shihuan into his arms, and gently patted her back: "Don't be afraid, with me, everything is not a problem." ”
I will keep you safe and help you find out the truth.
"But I'm still vague about this, so let's talk about you first." Mo Shihuan slowed down for a while, suddenly remembered something, and looked at Zhuo Chen with a serious face, "You recently claimed that you were sick at home, and the power of the court has been monopolized by King Wu!" ”
The palm-sized little face was porcelain white and crystalline, and at this time, the facial features were wrinkled together, and the face was full of worry, which was very vivid.
Seeing her look like she was worried about him, Zhuo Chen pinched her nose and said, "I said you, you are usually very smart, why are you so stupid recently." ”
After hearing this, Mo Shihuan's eyes widened and said, "You dare to call me stupid!" ”
"Ahem." Zhuo Chen rubbed her head soothingly, "My father is suspicious, and he doesn't like people who have monopoly power. ”
Mo Shihuan nodded, understanding Zhuo Chen's intentions.
"What's more, I still have King Wu's handle in my hand." Zhuo Chen squinted his eyes and smiled, like a cunning fox.
On the second day, it is said that King Liang, who had been poisoned for half a month, finally went to court.
"King Liang, has your body improved recently?" In the majestic hall, the emperor's solemn voice came from above.
"All is well, thank you for your father's concern." Zhuo Chen hurriedly knelt down and replied.
The Emperor nodded in satisfaction and motioned for him to get up and speak.
Zhuo Chen stood up, but a small dozen thin folds fell from the cuffs.
"What's that?" The emperor narrowed his eyes and said to the eunuch beside him, "Present it and take a look." ”
Zhuo Chen's face immediately showed a look of inevitability, but he didn't dare to stop it, so he could only watch with his eyes as the dozen thin pieces of paper were presented to the emperor.
When King Wu saw Zhuo Chen's appearance, he couldn't help but sneer: "This person, if he does something wrong, he will always be discovered." ”
Unexpectedly, when the emperor heard this, he snorted coldly: "Yes, if you do something wrong, you will always be discovered......"
King Wu didn't hear the emperor's tone of voice, thinking that it was Zhuo Chen's bad thing, and immediately asked: "Father and Emperor are angry, presumably King Liang is also unintentional." ”
"Huh, anger? How do you make me angry! The emperor put the fold on the table in front of King Wu, "You take a good look, how should this make me angry!" ”
Before King Wu opened the fold, he couldn't have imagined that the items listed above were all evidence of his corruption.
"Father, this is the son's recent leisure at home, and I heard the feedback from the officials below, but the truth has not yet been verified, so I dare not present it to you." Zhuo Chen bowed and saluted, his tone was as usual, "How could King Wu do these things? I guess this may be wrong, so please calm your anger. ”
King Wu's heart suddenly cooled, and he knelt on the ground and kowtowed when he threw down the fold in his hand: "The emperor spares his life, the emperor spares his life!" ”
"Last year, there was a great drought in the south, and you swallowed the silver taels for disaster relief, and this winter, the people froze to death, but you swallowed the food for disaster relief...... "The emperor stood up and counted the regulations of King Wu's corruption, "One by one, you can tell me in detail, whether I have wronged you!" ”
"Your Majesty spares your life!" King Wu's clothes were already soaked with sweat, but he didn't dare to wipe them, just kowtowed vigorously, asking the emperor for forgiveness.
Liangwangfu.
In the courtyard, Mo Shihuan was grinding medicinal herbs while watching the medical skills.
"It's done!" Mo Shihuan poured the last pot of boiled medicinal herbs into the bowl, and looked at the thick and brown medicinal juice inside, but hesitated for a moment.
"What are you doing?" Zhuo Chen's voice sounded from behind him, Mo Shihuan was startled, and subconsciously buckled the medicine with the lid, but accidentally knocked over the bowl.
The hot liquid was scattered all over the ground, splashing dark brown marks and steaming white smoke.
"I ......" Mo Shihuan thought to himself, he couldn't explain it clearly, so he couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into, cover his face and turn around.
Zhuo Chen sighed helplessly, slowly pulled Mo Shihuan's hand down, and said softly: "Was it hot just now?" ”
Mo Shihuan shook his head.
"You are not allowed to test the medicine yourself, I said, I will try it." Zhuo Chen took Mo Shihuan's hand, and his voice was very low, "I fainted after trying medicine, and you save me, you fainted, what should I do?" ”
Mo Shihuan lowered his head and stopped talking.
"Okay, let's not talk about it, come with me." Zhuo Chen suddenly remembered something, and pulled Mo Shihuan away.
Mo Shihuan was puzzled: "Where to go?" ”
"Suburbs."
