Yun Zheng escaped death, paralyzed on the ground and gasping for breath.

Zao Wou-Ki looked at the woman who didn't say a word with cold eyes, "Why don't you explain?" ”

"You've decided I've betrayed you, what else can I explain?" Her voice was hoarse, and tears welled up in her eyes, "You're not the floating life I knew anymore, are you?" ”

Zao Wou-Ki leaned over at the moment, "Between me and Zhao Wuwu, who will you choose?" ”

Yun Zheng smiled sadly, "Who do you ask me to choose?" So should I be in Shangshufu now, or by your side? ”

Taking a deep breath, Zhao Wuwu carefully picked her up, "It's me who is suspicious, but Yunzheng, you should know my hatred for the Zhao family." I don't want you to really betray me one day and return to Zhao Wuwu's side. ”

"Even if I die, I will stay with you." Yun Zheng leaned weakly on his arms, his eyes were slightly heavy, "Wuji, it's really not me." ”

Zao Wou-Ki nodded, hugged her and walked forward, "Okay! ”

But how many people know about their own thoughts.

Zao Wou-Ki felt very strange, this time it seemed that things came and went suddenly. Suddenly, I received the news that I had been noticed by Zhao Wuwu and left quickly. As soon as they left, the people of the Five Cities Terracotta Division came, and the time seemed to be just right.

Not only that, this Zhao Song and Zhao Wuwu came on a trip, and they were also in a hurry.

It stands to reason that if you find that the person is not there, you should chase it in time. Zhao Wuwu is so smart, it is impossible not to notice it, it is not surprising to say that Zhao Song can let him go, after all, this Zhao family is just such a seedling as him. But Zhao Wuwu didn't have a reason to be so kind, and he could let go of him, the remnant of the Wuji Palace.

So what's going on here?

"Yunzheng, you have been following Zhao Wuwu for the longest time, what do you think is going on with Zhao Wuwu this time?" Zao Wou-Ki asked.

Yun Zheng leaned on his arms with a dying breath, "I'm afraid Childe didn't come for you." ”

The carriage moved slowly, and Zao Wou-Ki narrowed his eyes, "What do you mean by that?" ”

Yun Zheng smiled slightly, "Childe's thoughts, others are used to not guessing." There is Su Xi by Childe's side, and she can't know that we just left, and the tea on the table is still hot, and we haven't had time to clean up anything, so Childe is not coming for us. ”

"Is it because of you?" Zao Wou-Ki asked.

Yun Zheng shook his head, "Childe won't care about me, so she won't come at me, she should be testing Xiangye!" ”

Zao Wou-Ki narrowed his eyes, "You mean, Zhao Wufu plans to go against her father?" ”

"Not against it." Yun Zheng coughed, his throat was very uncomfortable, he was pinched by Zhao Wouji, and his whole throat burned like fire, "Childe doesn't dare to go against Xiangye, but Childe is very suspicious, she won't trust Xiangye anymore." ”

Zao Wou-Ki was convinced of this sentence.

The people of the Zhao family seem to have inherited Zhao Song's suspiciousness, Zhao Song, Zhao Wouji, Zhao Wuwu, which one is not suspicious?

Taking a deep breath, Zao Wou-Ki nodded, "That's the same." ”

Yun Zheng closed his eyes, "Childe's temperament is always elusive, so I don't know too much about Childe's true thoughts, so it's right to think about the worst." Childe never kills with his own hands! ”

Zhao Wuji's eyes were slightly gloomy, and he called out the person's name in a low voice, "Zhao Wuwu!" ”

Sure enough, this sister is the nemesis of her life!

A lifetime of incompatibility!

Either you die or I die, and only one person will survive.

Zhao Song was not suspicious, after all, this matter was his own weakness, and he did it himself. Zhao Wuwu is so smart, he may not be able to see that Zhao Song intends to let Zhao Wouji go, but there were so many people at that time, Zhao Wuwu couldn't kill them all and rebelled against his father!

After all, in the entire Zhao family, Zhao Song is the one in charge, and Zhao Wuwu is only a scholar of the Ministry of Rites no matter how much he gets the holy favor.

It's just that this incident made Zhao Wuwu see the faces of many people clearly, such as the only son of the Prime Minister's Mansion, who sounds very good, I am afraid that he will be replaced in the future, and he may be replaced at any time.

Father's thoughts about Zao Wou-Ki are self-evident. Therefore, the nurturing grace that should be repaid, my mother has repaid it with her life, and she has also used her more than ten years of suffering to exhaust this meager emotion.

The night is cold, whose heart trembles in the wind.

Qi Yu Wangfu, in front of the Spiegel Tower, there is a cold wind blowing.

The dark shadow wandered around the Spiegel Building, pushed open the door of the master bedroom, and stepped into the dark world. The master bedroom was empty, and the woman in the Spiegel Building had long since disappeared. Standing in the house and looking out, the courtyard was empty. Perhaps it is very old, and this yard is a little dilapidated, as if it has not been repaired for a long time.

The eyebrows drooped slightly, and the sharp eyes quickly swept over the home furnishings of the house.

Open the drawer of the vanity mirror, and there are some hairpin boxes and rouge gouache inside. Everything seemed to be business as usual, and judging by the thick dust on the table and the cobwebs in the corners, it seemed like the room hadn't been cleaned for a long time.

Everything is neatly arranged, and it seems that there are no traces of a fight in the house, and if there are really people living here, then they should have left by themselves when they left, and it didn't look like there was an accident.

It seems to confirm those rumors that the woman eloped with someone.

The knobby hand gently picked up a delicate brocade box. Although it is covered with dust, looking at the entwined peony pattern on the brocade box and the inlaid gems, the contents must be extremely valuable.

Lying quietly inside was a lock inlaid with gold and jade, and a small bell was decorated underneath. The fingertips gently flicked the small bell, and the silver bell rang slightly. This thing seems to be ......

He searched the house for a while, but found nothing suspicious. After all, the Spiegel Tower is a forbidden place in the palace of Qi You, and it cannot be stayed for a long time. Thinking about this, he could only stop for the time being.

Zhao Wuwu leaned on the soft couch to rest, his bed clothes were loosely draped, and now that the weather is getting warmer, it is not so cold. If you casually look through the accounts of the Teaching Workshop Division for this period of time, the monthly accounts must be calculated clearly, otherwise there is no way to explain to the imperial court.

When Mu Baili came in, he only saw his white jade beauty, half-leaning on the beauty couch, and the candlelight was full of the beauty of the quiet years. The slender hand was as long as jade, gently flipping through the account book in his hand, and in the quiet world, only the sound of the book turning could be heard.

The most ordinary sound, in such an atmosphere, is so pleasant.

His steps were light, as if unwilling to disturb her tranquility. This picturesque tranquility is so rare that it makes people reluctant to give up. But her ears were very smart, and the corners of her lips had already been raised inadvertently.

"Chitose Lord, is this a habit of being a thief? I also wear a cat meat pad when I walk, do you want to do something about chickens and dogs? Zhao Wuwu didn't look at him, Gu Zi stared at the account book, and said coldly.

Mu Baili sneered, "Feed the white-eyed wolf who is not familiar." ”

She wondered, how long had it been since she had heard this familiar phrase? finally put down the account book in his hand and looked at him with a smile, "Chitose Lord is not right in what he said, for a long time, didn't you feed yourself?" ”

He looked at her helplessly, "Do you know that if you are so open-mouthed, this seat will be able to handle you right now." ”

She rolled her eyes, "You know if you threaten me with this crotch, can you still talk properly?" ”

He had walked up to her, picked her up casually, and sat her on his lap, embraced her like a child, "If you can't talk well, then do your job well, and it's the same." ”

After speaking, he leaned down and pecked lightly on her lips, if he was in love, he suppressed some kind of unconcealable emotion.

After a long time, he let go, looked at Zhao Wuwu with misty eyes, and smiled a little warmly, "I was born and died for you, how should you repay me?" ”

She sneered, "In addition to peeling the skin and removing the bones, there is no trace of you in this body and bones?" Dare to ask me, how can I repay you? Mu Baili, you have to have a conscience to be a man, if you become that white-eyed wolf who can't be fed well one day, you deserve to become a dead eunuch. ”

He rubbed his eyebrows, he really couldn't match her poisonous tongue.

That's it, good men don't fight women.

"In the Spiegel Building, there is a discovery." He bit her ear in a punitive manner.

The itchy feeling made her shrink her neck, "What did you find?" ”

Mu Baili stared at her with a smile and didn't continue.

She said in her heart: This man should be really stingy. But in the end, you still have to do it! Picked up his face, followed his posture and leaned up, pressed him against the soft couch, and gently tasted his lips.

On that thick face, you can't see what kind of look it is, only the warm eyes, the tighter and tighter embrace, clearly shows that it belongs to him.

The faint fragrance of pear blossoms on her body made him fascinated, and some things really couldn't have a beginning. With the first time, you will hope for the second time, and the so-called eating marrow knows the taste, probably because some people will be addicted.

"Is it enough?" Her throat was hoarse, and she stared at him teasingly with those innocent misty eyes.

Mu Baili sighed lightly and rubbed his eyebrows helplessly, "You are like this, I am very hurt." ”

She pressed her fingertips lightly against his chest, "But here? ”

He was silent.

Her fingertips then went south, "Well, this is it!" ”

He immediately held her cold soft, and sighed with a desolate face, "That's it, it's not too embarrassing to lose to one person in your life." What's more, it's still her own woman, but it's a bit self-inflicted. ”

She smiled lightly, "Since you know that you are self-inflicted, then don't mess with me, otherwise your second child will not agree." ”

He smiled, laughing so sadly, "You girl, you are really the secretary of the Ministry of Rites who is in charge of the Teaching Workshop Division, I can't say anything about you." ”

"If the Chitose Lord doesn't care about me crawling out of this mud pit, he can also resist and try." Zhao Wuwu chuckled and sat up, "Why don't you hurry up?" I don't have time to chat with Chitose here, and there are a lot of things to do with the Ministry of Rites! ”

"Isn't it just a priest?" Mu Baili was a little surprised, "What's the big deal?" ”

She glanced at him coldly, "Three hundred and sixty lines, there is no noble or cheap line, Chitose Lord doesn't understand this?" ”

Mu Baili sat up and stretched out his hand to take her into his arms, "Okay, let's get down to business." "If you don't say it again, I guess this girl can kill him, or the kind of tragic death that he wants-asks-dissatisfied.

When you think about it, it's really better to live than to die!

"There's no one in Spiegel. The dust was thick, the cobwebs were not cleaned, and no one repaired even the eaves in the yard. Do you know what that means? "Mu Baili is in the right color.

Zhao Wuwu stared at him, "This means two possibilities. One is that Xiao Rong did not have such obsession and affection as rumored, so after the woman disappeared, he did not show affection. The second is that Xiao Rong hates this person so much that he doesn't want to let anyone get close to his hatred for half a step, so he lets it go, even if it is dilapidated, he doesn't want to take another look. ”

Mu Baili continued, "The furnishings in the house are extremely exquisite, especially since the things here were considered superb, especially for more than ten years ago. Although there is no way to compare with the present, King Qi You can be regarded as having everything he has back then. ”

"So my first statement was overturned?" Zhao Wuwu's mind spun fast.

Mu Baili thought for a moment, "Probably yes! ”

She stared, "Anything else to discover?" ”

"In the box in the dresser, there is a lock inlaid with gold and jade, and there are some silver bells underneath, which are extremely well preserved." Mu Baili said meaningfully, "Do you know what this means? ”

"You mean, peace locks?" Zhao Wuwu's body was shocked.

"That's right!" Mu Baili let out a long breath, his eyebrows condensed slightly, "This thing, I don't usually need it at all, only-"

"Only children." Zhao Wuwu narrowed his dangerous eyes, "In this Spiegel Building, there are not only women but also children. "This is strange, for so many years, no one has heard that Xiao Rong has an heir!

Zhao Wuwu rubbed his eyebrows, only feeling that his brain hurt, what the hell is going on?

"Do you think this child is dead or alive? Whose seed is it? Zhao Wuwu was puzzled.

Mu Baili glanced at her, "It's not mine." ”

She scoffed, "Think beautiful." ”

"It's a matter of whether there are children or not, after all, none of us have seen each other, and King Qi You may not admit it." Mu Baili thought about it again and again, "Having something doesn't mean that there will definitely be children, it may be prepared early, and it hasn't had time to use it yet." ”

Zhao Wuwu nodded, "There is also this possibility." There may not be a child if there is something, but if there is a child, there will be this thing. Mu Baili, you said that if there really is a child, then why did King Qi Yu hide the truth? Where is this child now? Is it dead or alive? ”

"Isn't it self-inflicted trouble if you think so much about things that don't have answers?" Mu Baili got up slowly, poured a glass of water and handed it to her, "Relax your heart, when you should know, you will definitely know that there is no impermeable wall in the world, just like the daughter of Lord Zhao." ”

She looked at him with disgust, "Can you not mention this?" Speaking of which, isn't it that Chitose has lost a lot? This daughter buried in the ground can get up and taste it twice, and dare to say me? ”

He was stunned, count you ruthless.

This refers to Sang's kung fu of scolding Huai, Zhao Wuwu dares to call it the first, but others dare not call it the second.

I can't remember what happened in Mingjinglou, but I have to eat it bite by bite, and I have to take my time. There is Dongchang staring, thinking that the secrets in this Spiegel Building will have to be found out sooner or later. Zhao Wuwu is not in a hurry, waiting for the news.

As his body gradually gets better, he should go out and walk around, and this sectarian department can't let it go.

The accounts are clear, and they are delivered to the court every month.

Honggu said, "I haven't seen any good goods in recent months, and those people come and go." ”

Taking the roster handed over by Honggu, Zhao Wuwu flipped through it casually. I wondered if this was a good thing or a bad thing.

Honggu continued, "Two days ago, Gongzi was sick, and the slave and maid were not easy to disturb, so they failed to report to Gongzi. The emperor seems to be in a good mood recently, and for the first time in this palace, he asked us to send the singing and dancing queen in, but training the singing and dancing girl is not an overnight thing, if it goes on like this for a long time, I'm afraid it will be ......."

"I'll go back and deal with the affairs in the palace, and you can handle the affairs of the Teaching Workshop Division by yourself. The situation in this wilderness and Daye is unstable, and there should be many refugees. Zhao Wuwu's face was slightly gloomy, "Staring at the point." ”

Honggu bowed, "The slave understands." ”

Glancing at Honggu's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, Zhao Wuwu's eyebrows condensed slightly, "Have you eaten too much recently, so you hold on?" If so, three meals a day can be waived. ”

Su Xi smiled beside him, "If you don't have anything to say, you're not afraid of suffocating yourself?" ”

Taking a deep breath, Honggu saluted and said in a low voice, "Last night, Gongzi Jian came here. ”

Zhao Wuwu was stunned, even Su Xi was stunned, "What is he doing here?" ”

"The slave also thinks it is strange." Honggu said, "But Jian Gongzi didn't come alone, so the slave didn't dare to ask more." ”

"With whom?" Zhao Wuwu twisted his eyebrows.

Honggu thought for a while, "There is the little son of the military department, the second son of the household servant, and a few are fresh faces, and they have never been here." Childe, what does this Childe Jane mean? ”

Zhao Wuwu raised his forehead, "No matter what it means, just keep an eye on it, don't make a mess." This sectarian department is open to do business, and he is most afraid of causing trouble, and it will be difficult for the emperor to explain it when the time comes. ”

"Yes!" Honggu bowed her head.

Before leaving, Zhao Wuwu ordered again, "If Jian Yan comes again, write down the names of the people he is traveling with." Girls, you don't have to teach you how to do it! ”

Honggu nodded, "The slave understands! ”

When he came back from this trip, Zhao Wuwu didn't say anything more, and sat quietly under the pear tree alone, even if Mu Yao came, there was no response.

"What's wrong with you?" Mu Yao asked.

Zhao Wuwu narrowed his eyes, "It's nothing, I just feel a little uneasy in my heart, and I don't know why." ”

"I guess it's because I'm not feeling well." Mu Yao frowned and looked at her.

"By the way, have you checked the matter of Spiegel Tower?" Zhao Wuwu asked.

Mu Yao bowed, "I repaired the book and returned to Shucheng, and the specific things have to wait." No one in this capital dares to mention it, it doesn't mean that no one in my Shu City knows. Xiao Rong had such a good relationship with my uncle back then, it must have been revealed. I asked my cronies in the house to ask about my uncle's old department, and there should be news soon. ”

"What children did Mu Guogong mention?" Zhao Wuwu asked.

Mu Yao thought about it carefully, and then shook her head, "I was young at that time, so I didn't write anything down. When my mother left, she patronized and asked the people around her to take care of me, and she didn't have time to tell me anything about King Qiyu. ”

"I'm afraid that you will be hurt, afraid that you will be impulsive, and I dare not tell you too much." Zhao Wuwu sighed lightly, "Pity the hearts of parents all over the world." ”

Mu Yao pursed her lips, "Probably!" ”

"In this Spiegel Building, I always feel that something is not right." Zhao Wuwu rubbed his eyebrows and remembered Mu Baili's words, the lock with gold and jade should be a child! But Mu Baili did not find any information about the child in the Spiegel Building, such as a cradle or swaddling clothes, not even a single piece of clothing.

Did you guess wrong?

Is it really wrong?

I felt a little confused in my heart, probably because I heard Jian Yan's news! Earlier, she guessed that Jian Yan was not really stupid, and she didn't know what she was thinking at the moment. Is it happy or unhappy, worried or vigilant?

Mu Yao chattered to Zhao Wuwu about the affairs of Shucheng, talked about the Muguo Mansion, and talked about her mother.

"I've never seen my father, and my mother has been watching over me alone since I was born. Later, I was respected as the lord of the county, and I could no longer blatantly call her my mother. Mu Yao smiled bitterly, "Do you know what it's like to have a mother in front of you, but you can only call your aunt?" ”

"When I was a child, I didn't understand, I called her mother once, and the old lady would let my mother go to the ancestral hall. After a long time, I didn't dare to call her my mother anymore, I could only call my aunt. Later, my mother left, and I was left alone, and I didn't even have a chance to call my aunt. ”

Zhao Wuwu stared at her with frowns, listening to her say those unbearable pasts, "Then what's the matter with Yao Chi?" ”

Mu Yao smiled bitterly, "When my mother was seriously ill, Yao Chi came back and talked to my mother behind closed doors. Later, Yao Chi left, and it didn't take long for my mother to leave. I still don't know what they said. I only remember that my mother held my hand before she died, telling me to live well and not to set foot in the capital for half a step. ”

"Your mother-" Zhao Wuwu was stunned, "I am afraid that you will come to take revenge, but in the end, I will suffer from it." ”

Mu Yao nodded, "My mother didn't want to say anything, I thought she should be afraid that I would die, after all, I was young at the time, and I heard a lot of things in a daze." I want to ask clearly, but I don't have a chance. ”

"It's a pity that Yao Chi died, otherwise I could have asked to understand." Zhao Wuwu still hasn't figured out what Yao Chi's words before he died, as well as his actions, what does it mean?

"That's right!" Zhao Wuwu said again, "I heard the people of Qi You's Mansion say, you still have a righteous brother?" ”

"That's right, this son is in Xiao Rong's hands, as a hostage against me!" Mu Yao was helpless.

Hearing this, Zhao Wuwu couldn't help but smile, "It can be seen that King Qi You is quite interested in your chess piece, otherwise how can he be afraid that you will not listen to the call and pinch your handle?" What's going on with your brother-in-law? ”

Mu Yao thought for a while, "This is a long story. ”

"That's a long story short." Zhao Wuwu sighed lightly.

Mu Yao pursed her lips, "Because the old lady ordered that I was not allowed to take half a step out of Shucheng before I had reached the end of the day, so I slipped out with Huo Huo that day." I always wanted to leave Shucheng, but I didn't expect to meet my righteous brother who was chased and killed on the way. Probably because the newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, I saved him, and brought him back to Shucheng who was seriously injured, and gave him a bowl of rice to eat. ”

"Since then, he has been with me, and he says his name is Lian Ming. I don't care who he is, anyway, since I returned to Shucheng, I didn't plan to run out again, because those officials in Shucheng saw that my Muguo Mansion was gradually declining, and only my daughter's family was left, and no one took me seriously. ”

"It was Lian Ming who helped me, cleaned up those old things, and pinched Shucheng in his hands. Leave it to my master, and let him govern it on my behalf during the time I left Shucheng. ”

Zhao Wuwu raised his eyebrows and looked at her, "You still have a master?" ”

"Of course, where else did I get this effort? My master was my uncle's old subordinate, and he was born and died for my uncle, and then he retired because he was seriously injured. That time I went to the northern Xinjiang, there was him. Mu Yao frowned, "He only remembered that he had entered my uncle's camp at that time, my uncle was dead, and Yao Chi was nowhere to be found." ”

Zhao Wuwu's eyes were slightly gloomy, "He's a step late." ”

"Yes!" Mu Yao was helpless, "So over the years, he has been teaching me, he just doesn't want Shucheng to break away from the palm of the Mu family." No matter who killed my uncle, if I have the power in my hands, I can handle it. Otherwise, I'm a weak woman, what can I do to fight with others? ”

"And then?" Zhao Wuwu continued to ask.

"Then I came to the capital and married you." Mu Yao pursed her lips, "Fortunately, you and I are on the same line, otherwise I really don't know how to convince you to cooperate with me." ”

"If you want a man to listen to you, you have to be mentally prepared to wear him." Zhao Wuwu smiled meaningfully.

Mu Yao was stunned for a moment, and the next moment, her face turned extremely red, "What do you say, you say that if you play hooligan, you will play hooligan?" ”

"Even if it's a hooligan, isn't it also the emperor's permission? The emperor's order is in his body, and he can't help but play. Zhao Wuwu chuckled.

Mu Yao immediately got up, "It's not in shape." ”

"That's right!" Zhao Wuwu asked again, "Your brother-in-law—"

"Incorruptible." Mu Yao smiled, "Don't worry, he's a smart person." It won't be a threat to me, and it won't be a threat to you. The reason why he stayed in the Qi Yu Palace, was just to stabilize people's hearts! ”

Zhao Wuwu nodded and didn't say anything.

Coming out of Tingfeng Tower, Huo Huo looked at Mu Yao with strange eyes.

Mu Yao simply paused, "Why are you staring at me like this?" ”

Huo Huo pinched his jaw and walked around his county lord, and finally realized that he had a "so it is" expression on his face.

"What are you doing?" Mu Yao frowned.

Huo Huo hurriedly said, "County Lord, the slave maid has discovered one thing, the county lord is sick!" ”

Mu Yao rolled her eyes, "You're sick." ”

"County Lord, Lovesickness!" Huo Huo was serious, "You see, the county lord's eyes are shining and his cheeks are red, which is obviously what the old people often call the peach blossom disease." ”

"You!" Mu Yao coughed lightly, "I'll tell you, if you dare to talk nonsense, I'll close my mouth." After speaking, he strode out, but his heart and liver were pounding. It seems to be seen by this girl?

Is your performance on weekdays so obvious?

She subconsciously stroked her face, as if her cheeks were a little hot. But so what? The dead duck has a hard mouth, she will not admit that she likes Zhao Wuwu.

What is so good about that sick seedling!

Although he thought so in his heart, the corners of his mouth unconsciously rose.

Huo Huo was speechless in the back: It's over, I'm afraid the county lord is going to plant!

Mu Yao thought that she had to find a place to calm down, so she simply went to the teahouse. Who would have thought that this would be a mess. As the saying goes: it's not that enemies don't get together.
