Chapter 565: Bad Thoughts
Lu Li looked at Zhou Xuan helplessly, his actions were obviously to help him, he forced the emperor like this, but he didn't rectify him now, and he would definitely trouble him if he seized the opportunity in the future.
Lord Liu has been in the government and the opposition for so many years, he is naturally an old treacherous and cunning, seeing that Zhou Xuan does not distinguish between right and wrong, whether he is an enemy or a friend, he does not know, if he fights with Lu Li, he is naturally happy to see it.
"Lord Lu, thank you very much today."
Lord Liu respectfully gave Lu Li a big salute, his eyes looked at Zhou Xuan next to him from time to time, his face was already white and red for a while, and he gritted his teeth fiercely.
Lu Li stared at Lord Liu's behavior, and sure enough, the civil officials just liked to play hypocrisy, but he didn't mean to get involved in their fight, so he flicked his sleeves and simply left.
Zhou Xuan saw Lu Li's departing figure, and his heart was full of poison, and his eyes were full of viciousness and ruthlessness.
When Lu Li returned home, he happened to see Xiaoman playing in the garden with his son, and the fatigue in his heart was swept away.
walked over and hugged his son, and the smell of milk on his body immediately penetrated into his nose, pinching his son's smiling face, the soft and delicate touch could make Lu Li forget all the unpleasant things today.
"Well, nothing big happened today."
Lu Li shook his head, although Zhou Xuan should be resentful of himself now, but there is no need to say the hatred between men to make Xiao Man worried.
"That's good, seeing you in a hurry in the morning, I can't let go of it."
"It's nothing, the result has been expected for a long time, Your Majesty has long decided in his heart, there is nothing to do with me."
At this time, Pearl walked over and looked at Lu Li coming back, bowing his head very respectfully.
"Madame, the carriage is ready."
"You're going out?"
Su Xiaoman nodded, he was uncomfortable at home, and he was thinking about going to the ready-to-wear store to have a look.
"Well, go check the accounts of the ready-to-wear store."
Lu Li frowned, he definitely didn't mean to forbid Xiaoman to go out, but he always felt that his heart had been hanging in his heart today, for fear that something would happen to Xiaoman.
Xiaoman teased his son, and then followed Pearl out of the carriage, Lu Li thought about it, probably because he was too suspicious, what could happen if he went shopping.
Su Xiaoman sat in the carriage for some reason, feeling a little dizzy in her head, looking at Xiaoman's uncomfortable appearance, Pearl hurriedly helped her.
"Madam, what's wrong with you, are you alright?"
"It's okay, I'm a little dizzy, Pearl, you can help me down for a walk."
Pearl nodded, it was a little stuffy to sit in the carriage, go down for a walk, blow the cool breeze, and sometimes it would be much better.
The streets of Shangjing are very lively, the hawkers are constantly shouting, and the idle tourists have a satisfied smile on their faces, in addition to going to the ready-to-wear store, Xiaoman also wants to watch his son pick up a few toys to bring back.
While Xiaoman was concentrating on picking something, Pearl always felt that she had a pair of eyes behind her to watch her every move, she turned her head and carefully checked the surrounding environment, but found nothing.
"You look around, if there are any suspicious characters, don't hurt Madame."
When the little guy next to him heard this, he immediately dispersed and protected Su Xiaoman beside him.
"Pearl, what's wrong with you today, how can there be so many things when you go out."
"Madam, I always feel hairy in my heart, and I don't know what the reason is."
At this time, a woman next to her grabbed Xiao Man, the expression on her face was very painful, Xiao Man was startled, and looked at it, this woman's belly was afraid that she was already pregnant for ten months.
"This lady, I, I seem to be about to give birth, see you have a carriage, can you send me home."
This woman looked at Xiao Man, her eyes were very strange, but under her painful and embarrassed expression, the strangeness revealed in her expression was actually easy to ignore.
Su Xiaoman is also a mother, and when such a thing happens, of course she wants to help, so she hurriedly asked Pearl to help the woman into the carriage, and then hurriedly ran in the direction she said.
The woman's house was very remote, unpopulated, and the house was in a small alley, which was old and dilapidated, and very desolate.
"You're going to live here?"
Su Xiaoman thought that the woman was about to give birth, and she was also in a hurry, in fact, as long as she thought about it, how could a woman who was ten months pregnant go back to the bustling streets of Shangjing.
"Pearl, go find a stable woman."
When Pearl heard Su Xiaoman's order, she immediately walked away, leaving a few small servants, all of whom were Su Xiaoman's henchmen, who wanted to follow in and protect Su Xiaoman, but Su Xiaoman refused.
"Okay, you big men, what are you going to do in there, you can also watch the women give birth, wait here for me to come out."
Su Xiaoman said so, and the little guys could only wait silently at the door.
The woman walked into the house with difficulty, and the house was full of dust and looked like no one had lived in it for a long time, and the courtyard was full of fallen leaves.
"Where's your husband?"
The woman sat on the bed, moaning in pain, and did not answer Su Xiaoman's words, Su Xiaoman closed the door, and was about to boil water to deliver the woman, but he didn't expect a fierce man to come out of it.
The man was holding a wooden stick, his face was full of anger, and seeing Su Xiaoman's frightened appearance, the woman no longer pretended to be pregnant, and took out the pillow in her stomach.
Seeing that she was deceived, Su Xiaoman's first reaction was to run away quickly, but as soon as she turned around, she felt a heavy blow on the head, and then her vision in front of her gradually blurred and she fainted.
Pearl finally found a stable woman, hurriedly took her into the alley, and entered the door, but there was no one to see.
"Ma'am? Madam? ”
Wen Po's house is near here, and I felt that something was wrong when I heard Pearl say that there were pregnant women here, and it was clear that no one had lived here for several years.
The air in the room was quiet, and no other sound could be heard except for the echo of Pearl, and Pearl hurriedly ran back to the main entrance.
"Do you see Madame?"
Several of the little guys shook their heads in unison, they had been guarding the door, and they didn't see anything.
"It's strange, where has Madame gone?"
The voice of the old woman came.
"Girl, this house has a back door."
Hearing Wen Po say this, Pearl hurriedly picked up her skirt and trotted all the way over, and sure enough, she saw that the back door was wide open, and Su Xiaoman's pearl flowers fell at the door.
"This sucks."
Pearl hurriedly took the little servants back to the house, Lu Li was reading the book of war in the study, and when he saw that Pearl was sweating and ran in without any manners, he knew that something must have happened to Su Xiaoman.
"Sir, Madame is gone."
"What's going on, speak slowly!"
Lu Lilian put down the book in his hand and listened to Pearl panting as he described what had happened.
After listening, Lu Li stopped in place, so that the pearl became anxious.
"Master, aren't you going to save Madame?"
Of course Lu Li didn't want to save Su Xiaoman, this matter was planned by someone else, if Lu Li's guess was correct, this should have been done by Zhou Xuan, but there is no evidence now, Shangjing is so big, where to find Su Xiaoman.
"Let's go, let's go to Zhou's house."
Lu Li prepared a fast horse and galloped all the way to Zhou's house, and when he arrived at the door, the little guys immediately stopped him, in the end, it was the house of the imperial court official, and Lu Li also had to abide by the rules.
"Where's Lord Zhou?"
"Our adults are out today, and we don't see any guests."
Just when Lu Li was in a hurry, a woman walked out, this person was Zhou Xuan's concubine, Yuyao.
"Let Lord Lu Li prepare good tea today, don't you know that Lord Lu Li appreciates his face?"
Although it is very rude for Lu Li to go in now, for the sake of Xiaoman, he can't take care of so much, so he walked in with the pearl.
At this time, Xiaoman was waking up from a dark room, and a young man was sitting in front of him, drinking tea and looking at Su Xiaoman leisurely.
"Who are you?"
Su Xiaoman pressed his temple, the stick hurt him a lot, and now his whole body hurts.
The man looked comfortable, as if he was in control of the overall situation, looked at Su Xiaoman, and smiled.
"Mrs. Lu, the way you invited you to come was a little rude, I'm really sorry."
"Who the hell are you?"
Su Xiaoman frowned, this person should probably be because Lu Li arrested him, but he didn't know for what purpose.
"Ah, my name is Zhou Xuan, and I once handed a letter to Mrs. before, but Mrs. didn't see me."
Hearing the post, Su Xiaoman thought about it for a while, and he hadn't received any postes except for that confidant in the past few days, could it be that Zhou Xuan was that confidant?
"Hehe, the front foot said that you are my confidant, and the back foot tied me here, is Lord Zhou telling me a joke?"
When Zhou Xuan heard Su Xiaoman say this, he also understood in his heart that it was right to tie Su Xiaoman here like this, and he should have resentment in his heart, so he helped Su Xiaoman up and let her sit opposite him.
Then he took out a teacup made of jasper and made a cup of tea for Su Xiaoman, the cool tea water flowed out of the teapot, and the room was filled with the fragrance of tea, and the bursts of heat were like the mist of the mountains.
"What is this place, I'm going back."
Su Xiaoman naturally didn't have the mood to drink tea, who knew what Zhou Xuan was going to do to himself.
"What is Madam doing in such a hurry, do you think that I will put you back if I ask you to come over so troublesomely?"
Su Xiaoman glanced at Zhou Xuan, this person is a humble gentleman on the surface, but he is an unscrupulous villain in his heart.
"What the hell are you going to do when you got me."
"Don't do anything, I just want Madame to be my confidant, unlike your husband Lu Li."
Zhou Xuan's matter, Su Xiaoman also heard Lu Li mention two sentences, what grievances the two of them have, Su Xiaoman also doesn't know, but if you want to leave here, I'm afraid you can only follow Zhou Xuan's wishes.
