Chapter 417: The housekeeper's son was innocently killed
"Master, it's nothing, it's just that I was infected with a cold last night, and now I'm a little unwell." The little girl tugged at the corners of her mouth, and she didn't say what was going on, and her face was pale.
Hua Shukou frowned subconsciously, she didn't worry too much, usually this girl's body is also excellent.
After breakfast, she went to the courtyard and suddenly remembered that she had not fully learned the tune she had taught yesterday.
"Go and bring my guqin, the one that the housekeeper's son sent me yesterday. I'm going to practice the tune he taught me yesterday, and it's a piece of music that is truly heavenly......"
Thinking of that song, Hua Shukou was still immersed in it and couldn't extricate herself.
The little girl ran over and put the guqin on the table, prepared fragrant tea and other things for Hua Shukou, and asked her to concentrate on playing the piano.
Hua Shukou gently plucked the strings, and her movements were like flowing water, all in one go. However, when she played the most critical time, she found that she couldn't play.
Her fingers stopped in mid-air, not knowing which one to play next, and finally she sighed.
"I haven't fully grasped this tune, so if you go and call the housekeeper's son, and let him teach me one last time, I will definitely be able to learn it." The next time I see the emperor, I can play it for him. ”
Hua Shukou was excited, and she wanted to learn such a beautiful tune and play it to her beloved man. So she didn't want the emperor to know that the housekeeper's son had taught her this tune.
Hearing this, the little girl stood there awkwardly and didn't go at all.
Hua Shukou continued to play, feeling that the little girl had already called the housekeeper's son to come over according to her own words.
Who knew that after nearly a quarter of an hour, Hua Shukou looked up and found that the girl was still here, and the housekeeper's son did not come at all.
"What are you doing in a daze? Why don't you call him? Hua Shukou was a little unhappy in her heart.
"Master, it's not that I don't want to call, but it's ...... discipline my son" After worrying for a long time, this girl took a deep breath, but she still couldn't bear to say it.
"What the hell is going on?" Hua Shukou was nervous, and stood up in an instant, realizing that there might be something wrong with her son.
The little girl looked at Hua Shukou, lowered her head and said nothing,
Seeing her like this, Hua Shukou did not hesitate and strode outside. The little girl in the back hurriedly followed by her side.
Hua Shukou ran very fast, and in less than a quarter of an hour, she ran to the courtyard where the housekeeper's family lived, and found that there were only a few people in the house.
When I ran inside, I found that there was a white cloth hanging inside, and the bodies of several people were being hurriedly disposed of.
"What's going on? How did four people die at once? Hua Shukou was worried, and at a glance she saw the corpse lying in the middle, still holding a white stocking.
She naturally recognized that it was her own silk handkerchief. The housekeeper's son said he liked it and gave it to him.
Hua Shukou ran over, her hands trembling. He reached over and pulled back the white cloth, and found that this man was indeed the butler's son.
"How can this be, how can he die? Who killed him? Hua Shukou suddenly seemed crazy, grabbed the clothes of a little girl next to her and shook it.
The little girl didn't give her an answer, and then she pulled the other subordinates to ask, but no one here could answer her.
Their faces were ugly, and they all hung their heads. Hua Shukou instantly understood that the only person who could kill the housekeeper's family was the man with monstrous power. Who else but him would dare to be powerful here!
"I see." Hua Shukou covered her face in pain and ran outside.
At this moment, she finally understood everything, all of this was done by the Wood King, if it weren't for the Wood King, no one would dare to run rampant in the palace.
It's just that she is particularly puzzled, why would he make such a move? Obviously, the housekeeper is his right-hand man and has helped him a lot, and there is no need to kill the housekeeper's family, so he is cutting off his own retreat.
Hua Shukou returned to her room, wept bitterly, and waited for the return of the Wood King.
But the wood king was too busy for the past two days, and he didn't come back until dusk the next day. Knowing that Hua Shukou had not eaten for a whole day and night, he ran to Hua Shukou's room in distress to try to care.
"What's going on? Why not eat? People are iron and steel, why can't they get along with their bodies, what happened? The Wood King walked over and shook Hua Shukou's hand, wanting to ask what was wrong.
When she saw the Wood King, Hua Shukou immediately held his hand, and tears fell in an instant.
She cried so much that the wood king's liver and intestines were broken, and all her temper disappeared without a trace, just to comfort her.
"Is someone bullying you? Tell me that I will make decisions for you......" The Wood King is gentle to the extreme, completely different from the past.
"No one bullied me, but I didn't understand, why did you let someone kill the housekeeper's family? The housekeeper's son came to teach me to play the piano almost every day, and he was a good man. I beg the emperor to spare the rest of their family and stop killing innocents indiscriminately! ”
Hua Shukou wept while holding the hand of the Wood King, trying to persuade the Wood King.
King Mu was still angry in his heart, and when he heard Hua Shukou intercede for the housekeeper's son, especially when he heard that the housekeeper's son came to teach her to play the piano almost every day, the anger in his heart could not be stopped.
"It seems that you and the housekeeper's son really have an ulterior relationship. If not, why would I kill him, the last thing I look down on is the woman who covets me! ”
The Wood King slapped the table angrily, glaring angrily.
At this moment, he finally said the reason why he wanted to kill the housekeeper's whole family.
Hearing what he said, Hua Shukou was stunned, never dreaming that the reason why the housekeeper's son would die was because he asked him to come over every day to teach him to play the piano.
If it weren't for that, how could it have killed him.
"Because of me, his whole family died. Your Majesty, how can you be so ruthless and cruel, the housekeeper has been following you for decades, how can you bear to ...... him like this?"
Hua Shukou cried bitterly, grabbed the wood king's clothes and shook them, not wanting to stop.
Whenever she closed her eyes, she thought of the handsome face of the housekeeper's son.
Although he has never had any personal affairs with him, when he thinks of her, the guilt in his heart will rise unscrupulously.
"You slut is too much, that man is innocent, their whole family is innocent! I just want you to remember that betraying me is what happened. Not only do you not give me a good explanation, but you also want to intercede for him, you slut! ”
The wood king's anger came up, and it was a resounding slap to Hua Shukou.
Hua Shukou was beaten to the ground by him, and sat on the ground crying bitterly, covering her face and grabbing the clothes of the wood king.
