Chapter 248: An Arrow Pierces the Heart
The news of Xia Yu's imprisonment spread quickly, and everyone inside and outside the palace knew it clearly. escaped death, but after all, he still fell into the net. No one knows why Xia Yu still wants to return to the palace, and why he wants to see the Empress Dowager Bo Yao at the risk of death. They all thought she was a fool and her brain was not clear.
But Zhao Shuo understood. Every heart has a scar.
Bo Yao and Dongfang Yue are indelible scars in Xia Yu's heart.
If she doesn't let herself face it, sooner or later, she will be worried and die on it. People should face their own hearts and those unbearable pasts, in order to understand the value of their own existence between gains and losses.
Anu knelt in front of Zhao Shuo, "My subordinates are guilty, please punish the prince." β
"She still knows." Zhao Shuo stood in front of the window, his eyes were far and deep, but there was a sense of relief. "That's what she should know, and I just want these things to come a little later and later. But after all, I still know. It's good to know, if you can pass this level, it's a sunny day. β
The night is as cold as water, and my heart is concerned, and I can't wait to grow wings and fly to her.
But he understands that she needs to be quiet at this moment, and his presence will only make her collapse and vulnerable. Some things, some pain. There are some hurdles that no one can replace.
Xia He stood aside anxiously, "Will Ah Yu be okay?" β
Anu frowned.
"If this king doesn't allow it, who would dare?" Zhao Shuo glanced at him.
It was at this glance that Xia He seemed to see the fleeting worry and distress in his eyes. Zhao Shuo cares, but there are some things that Xia Yu has to step over by himself.
Saying that you are not worried or afraid is more ridiculous than deceiving yourself.
"Ah Yu is still pregnant, this prison-" Xia He rubbed his hands nervously.
"When she sees the person she wants to see, she comes out." Zhao Shuo whispered. "With her temperament, she is not afraid of heaven and earth, she will not die until she reaches the heart of the Yellow River, and she will not turn back if she does not hit the south wall."
Xia He sighed lightly, this is the reason.
Once Xia Yu's temperament comes up, the nine cows can't pull it back.
Zhao Shuo is not worried about the palace, only the outside of the palace.
Outside the palace, King Mao's Mansion and the Regent's Mansion, Zhao Yu and Dongfang Xu will definitely take action once they learn that Xia Yu is not dead. Zhao Yu must be worried that when the news of Xia Yu's death comes out, he in the Qingwu Palace will lift his spirits and reappear in the mountains and rivers. Then, both of them thought about threatening him with Xia Yu.
An army of 200,000 in his own hands. They couldn't find the Tiger Talisman, so naturally they couldn't mobilize it, and once Zhao Shuo raised his arms and shouted, the 200,000 army was enough to break through the entire capital.
He had never thought that he would put Xia Yu in danger, but this time, he was afraid that he would have to change his plan.
All itineraries, all in advance.
Looking at the sky, standing with his hands in his hands, he had mixed feelings in his heart.
Sure enough, when Zhao Yu learned the news that Xia Yu had survived, he was stunned.
"What did you say?" Zhao Yu was stunned, "In the heavenly prison, was caught?" β
Sun Qi bowed, "Yes, now I have broken into the palace and kidnapped the Queen Mother, and I have been ordered by the emperor to be imprisoned in the prison." This matter has been spread all over the palace, and it is impossible to fake. After a pause, Sun Qi said again, "Lord Wang, it's time to decide, Xia Yu is still in prison if he is not dead, I am afraid that the two people in Qingwu Palace and the Regent Palace will not be reconciled." β
Zhao Yu's eyebrows raised suddenly, "You mean Dongfang Xuhui-"
"Coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes, I don't know how many times this kind of drama has been played throughout the ages, but there are always people who are happy to do it. Lord Wang, if you take Xia Yu, it is equivalent to taking down the 200,000 army in the hands of King Rui. In this way, the odds of winning are more than half. The Regent's Mansion already had a sharpshooter army in hand, plus the 200,000 troops in the hands of King Rui, the consequences were unimaginable. Sun Qi stared.
Zhao Yu nodded, "That's right, but isn't it too late to say this now?" King Rui will never be ignorant of the matter of Xia Yu. Now that Xia Yu has appeared openly, his old subordinates will definitely protect Xia Yu as soon as possible. Zhao Shuo has been fighting with Dongfang Yue for half his life, and his roots are extremely deep, especially in the palace ban, where there are many henchmen. β
"Lord Wang, we have united the Ye family, as well as the foreign countries, and now it is too late to get into trouble. Dongfang Xu is not a climate at all, so he may not be able to control the Marksman Army for a while. And King Rui is still trapped in the palace, and leaving the palace is equivalent to absconding in fear of crime. Now is the best time for us. Sun Qi sneered, "If the emperor wants to kill Xia Yu, King Rui will definitely be the enemy of the emperor." A woman can make them a mess, and the prince can just mess up. β
"It's so good." Zhao Yu frowned.
Sun Qidao, "Now there are more than ten days before the end of the year, it's better to-"
Zhao Yu gritted his teeth, "Chinese New Year? At the end of the year, a cannon sounded, and the lights of thousands of homes were dim. β
"Understood!" Sun Qi bowed his head, "Arrange it immediately, and in the shortest possible time, clear all obstacles." After speaking, he knelt on the ground, "I see the emperor in my humble position, and I wish my emperor long live, long live, long live." β
Hearing this, Zhao Yu raised his head and laughed, laughing so much that he got carried away, "Okay! When the great cause of this king can be accomplished, you will definitely be crowned the founding father. β
"Emperor Xie!" Sun Qi was delighted.
ββββββββββββββ
Regent's Palace.
Dongfang Xu was stunned, "What did you say?" β
Yun Guan bowed his head and was respectful, "Xia Yu is in the prison, saying that he hijacked the Queen Mother, and it was the emperor's personal arrest warrant. β
"The dungeon?" Dongfang Xu's cold eyes narrowed, "I knew that she wasn't dead." But I didn't expect that she would throw herself into the net, go to the palace, and dare to find the queen mother. He was slightly stunned, "The Queen Mother didn't say anything?" β
"Nope." Yun Guan shook his head, "The Queen Mother didn't say anything, after the incident, the Queen Mother kept her door closed, as if nothing had happened." However, according to the palace people of Ci'an Palace, after Xia Yu was imprisoned, the Queen Mother cried. β
Dongfang Xu was silent.
Crying? That means that Xia Yu knows the truth.
With a wry smile, with a mocking coldness, Dongfang Xu put his hand on the edge of the fish tank and slid slowly, "After all, I still know, and I can't escape the catastrophe." I thought that when people died, everything ended here, but I didn't expect that death was just the beginning. At this level, no one wants to run, and no one wants to get through. β
"There is a cause before there is an effect." Yun Guan sighed lightly.
"I don't believe in cause and effect." Dongfang Xu fiddled with the water lilies on the water, "If there is really cause and effect, there are thousands of unjust souls who died in my hands, then wouldn't I have died a long time ago?" The fingertips lifted the clear water, and the sound of gurgling water sounded, "Keep an eye on the Mao Palace, Zhao Yu will never miss this great opportunity." β
"Childe isn't worried about the other side of Qingwu Palace?" Yun Guan frowned.
Dongfang Xu snorted coldly, "Qingwu Palace? Is that Zhao Yu of yours a fool? Xia Yu was arrested, and Zhao Yu would make people stare at Qingwu Palace as soon as possible. Since he is staring, why should we still work to mobilize the people? With Zhao Yu here, nothing can happen to Qingwu Palace. Now everyone is fighting the idea of summer rain, including the emperor. With Xia Yu in hand, Zhao Shuo will be able to hand over the military power. β
Yun Guan worried, "It's just summer rain, it's not easy to control." β
"Nonsense, it's so easy to control, wouldn't Zhao Yu have already succeeded in it?" Dongfang Xu took a deep breath, "I'm just afraid that Xia Yu will be imprisoned, but in fact, I have other plans." β
"Something else?" Yun Guan was puzzled.
"I confronted the Queen Mother, is it time to confront my father-in-law?" Dongfang Xu frowned coldly, "The picture of father and daughter recognizing each other should be very touching, right?" It's a pity that my father-in-law has killed too many people in this life, and he is destined to be difficult to redeem in this life. Xia Yu's temperament is so hard, can you recognize him as a thing! β
Yun Guan was slightly stunned, "Isn't it good to have a regent as a father?" β
"If she fancies her status, then it won't be Xia Yu." Dongfang Xu chuckled proudly, "If she is worldly, can Zhao Shuo take a fancy to her?" It is rare for a woman to be so bold and prodigal, uninhibited, and there are few people with such deep affection. But it is also the so-called deep meaning, which can survive in a desperate place, and can easily put people to death. Xia Yu, the fault is too heavy on feelings. β
"Her father-in-law killed her once, and he also killed her brother, and even if she could forgive once, she couldn't forgive a second time. So this time, the father-in-law was also planted. Whether he is really crazy or fakely crazy, there is no way out. This makes me happier than killing him. β
It's easy to kill someone, but if you want people to live, it's better to live than to die, and you can't survive without death, it's really enjoyable.
With just one glance, Yun Guan was instantly afraid, especially when he met Dongfang Xu's shining eyes, which were so vicious and vicious that they made people tremble. His heart has long been twisted, twisted to the point that it cannot be seen.
In addition to Dongfang Xu, there is another one with the same distortion, and that is Shuying.
A clear smile, such a proud smile, such a arrogant smile. It's Xia De, and it's terrifying to hear it. The sun outside is excellent, but the heart is extremely cold.
"Where is my silver?" Summer de got up.
Shuying stopped laughing, turned around quietly, and looked at Xia De thoughtfully, "Don't worry, what I have is silver, and I will definitely not miss a penny from you." It's just that we said okay, you have another role. "Since Xia Yu is pregnant, the one in the palace must not be able to sit still. can make Xia Yu pregnant, let Xia Yu ruin the flower building, this big deal is not something that Xia Yu can do alone. The remnants of the service were killed.
Therefore, Zhao Shuo is very likely to have left the palace.
And more likely, Zhao Shuo and Xia Yu are together. Of course, she had mentioned this to anyone, and if too many people were involved, her plans would be ruined. Xia Yu should be destroyed in her hands.
has harmed Xia Yu, and Zhao Shuo can't be spared.
Shuying smiled so coldly, her eyebrows were picturesque, but the color of the country had a coldness that people didn't dare to approach.
"But if that's the case, won't they kill me?" Xia De is naturally afraid of death.
Shuying smiled, "Don't worry, my people will protect you anytime and anywhere." What's more, you also have a son, Xia He, Xia Yu doesn't care about you, he should also take care of your son. Xia He has nothing to say to Xia Yu, he was willing to die for her when he was a child, Xia Yu owes him too much, so no matter what mistakes you make, Xia Yu will not kill you. She herself has no father or mother, but she doesn't dare to let Xia He lose her father. β
Xia De nodded, Xia Yu's temperament is indeed so.
"But how do I know where my son is?" Summer De was terrified.
"Go out of town." Shuying frowned, "I must be able to find it." β
Xia Yu's carriages all came in from outside the city, and it is conceivable that there must be Zhao Shuo's lair outside the city. It's just that this nest, so far, Zhao Yu has not been able to find it, let alone Shuying.
However, Xia De's goal is so big, it should be easy to attract Zhao Shuo's gang.
Knowing that Xia De did such a thing to Xia Yu and pierced a secret that should not be exposed, Zhao Shuo would definitely not let Xia De go.
Now, Xia De also knew that he had stabbed the basket, so he had to go out of the city. He is now a rat crossing the street, and if he doesn't listen to the sparse shadow, if he doesn't get the money and leave, he will definitely die in the capital.
Money or death, you can only choose one or the other.
As soon as Xia De walked out of the city gate, Zhao Shuo got the news. Xia He was waiting for Xia Yu's follow-up news, so he followed Zhao Shuo inch by inch. Hearing that someone came to report that he had found Xia De's traces, Xia He pounced and knelt down for Zhao Shuo.
"Lord, I know that my father deserves to die, but-" After all, he is also a biological father.
Zhao Shuo curled up with five fingers in his sleeves, with his personality, he would never tolerate Xia De. Xia Yu is fine now, if there is a good one, even if Xia De has a hundred lives, it will not be enough to pay it back.
"Go and bring him back, and the king has something to ask him." Zhao Shuo frowned.
Xia He let out a "huh" and hurriedly left with the person who reported the news.
Anu frowned, but saw that the plum seeker behind him was gone.
"Lord Wang, Xunmei is gone." Anu stepped forward.
Zhao Shuo's face was expressionless, "Baihua Palace came forward, naturally it is the best." β
"What do you meanβ" Anu Zhong was stunned.
"Xia De can't die at the hands of this king, otherwise the girl will not be a good person there." Zhao Shuo sighed lightly, "Summer De is cheap, and it's okay to die." It's just that he has a good son and a good daughter. β
Anu bowed, "My subordinates understand. β
Someone wanted Xia De to lure out Zhao Shuo and kill Xia De with Zhao Shuo's hand, so as to cause a rift in Xia Yu and Zhao Shuo's hearts. But who is Zhao Shuo, how can this trick be hidden from him.
He was angry, even hated to tear Xia De apart.
But if you fall for it like this, it won't be a thousand-year-old fox.
Zhao Shuo turned around and entered the study, it seemed that some people should not stay anymore.
"Lord Mao has already started to prepare." Anu followed the door.
Zhao Shuo sneered, "It's finally time to wait, and it's not in vain that this king has been planning for many years." β
ββββββββββ
Xia He hurriedly went to find Xia De, of course he understood what his father did to Xia Yu, but he didn't know that something happened to his mother. Otherwise, he wouldn't want to recognize this father anymore.
Xin Fu is still being treated, and whether he can be saved depends on the will of God. So this news is absolutely blocked, I'm afraid that if the news gets out, the one in the prison will be tossed again.
Don't dare to toss anymore!
From afar, Xia He saw Xia De, who was looking around and obscene. Xia De walked staggeringly, presumably drank again, and the whole person was in a daze. Just glanced at this look, and anger rose in Xia He's eyes, "Dad! β
He shouted, but in exchange for Xia De's scolding, "Little rabbit, why are you here now?" You don't know that your father and I are about to be beaten to death, are you still my son? It is better to raise a child like you than to feed the dog in the early years. Raising a dog still knows how to be grateful and wag its tail, am I raising you little beasts just to make me angry? Son of a bitch, little mongrel, why don't you die? β
Xia He stood there, his chest heaving, his fat body trembling after him, "Have you scolded enough?" You caused Ah Yu to be imprisoned in the prison, you are the most damned person! β
Pull the bow and wind it, and there is no false hair.
"Look at the wounds on my body, they're all those-" Before the words fell, Xia De's body stiffened in shock.
Xia He stood stunned on the spot, unable to come back to his senses for a long time.
There was a slight chill on his body, as if something had penetrated his chest.
Xia De's gaze slowly moved to his chest, and the cold arrow pierced through his chest. The red blood stains fell from the arrows of the cold light, falling little by little, just dripping on the upper of his shoes, without making the slightest sound.
The surroundings suddenly became quiet, he looked at Xia He who was rushing in blurred, and his body suddenly leaned back.
"Daddy!" Xia He shouted, and he had no skills to return to the sky.
Behind the big tree in the distance, stepping on the snow flew to collect the bow and flew away silently. When he walked away, Xunmei was already waiting, "How?" β
Treading Xue sneered, "One arrow kills." β
"This kind of person deserves to die, but the young master is merciful, thinking of his eldest brother's goodness, he didn't do it for a long time. Since the young master can't do it, let's do it. Whoever dares to make the young master unhappy, we will give him pleasure. If I was someone else, I had to pick off three layers of skin from the young master like this. Such a way to die can be regarded as cheaper for him. Xunmei still thinks about it, and she is still angry.
Xia Yu's resolute expression at that time made Xunmei feel uncomfortable.
Except for the time when Hua Manlou was in the building, she had never seen Xia Yu, and she was so sad.
Taxue clenched the bow and arrow in his hand, "Do you want to give Shuying that slut a few arrows?" β
Xunmei shook her head, "The matter of Shuying, I should have asked the young master before talking." The young master didn't touch her, so there must be a reason for her. It's just that this time, I see that Shuying is also in a catastrophe. Let's think about it, how to give the sparse shadow to the fullest when the time comes! β
Taxue smiled, "This is easy to do, didn't the palace master leave a good thing before he disappeared?" β
"You mean that?" Xun Mei was stunned.
"That's right, no one has tried it, but it's just the right time to use Shuying to go under the knife." Taxue smiled evilly, "She has a vicious heart, she should be the most suitable candidate." β
Xunmei nodded, "That's good, wait for me to inform you when the time comes." β
"What about the young master?" Treadon asked, "Do you want to rob the prison?" β
"King Rui is not in a hurry, what are you anxious about? The 200,000 army has been prepared, isn't it more than our Baihua Palace? Xunmei waved her hand, "You can wait with peace of mind, the young master is pregnant now, and it is excellent to go to the prison for two days." β
Treading Xue sighed lightly, "This palace is also a pure land. Elsewhere, filth and embarrassment. β
"Alright, you hurry up and don't let anyone find out. You know this matter, don't let a third person know, otherwise we won't be able to explain it to the young master. Xunmei looked around.
Treading the snow and bowing his head, "When you clean up that slut in the shadow, remember to call me." β
"Alright, let's go." Xunmei nodded, "It is estimated that the young master will be very busy when he comes out, you count the manpower first." Maybe it won't be long before there will be a tough battle. β
"Those stinky men of the Black Evil Alliance, sooner or later they have to report to the Hades Palace." Fly away in the snow.
This was done quietly.
Shuying's plan failed again, Zhao Shuo didn't do it, and even Xia He didn't know who did it. I saw only one arrow, the most ordinary one, without any peculiarities, and then it was gone.
Nothing to check out!
With a soft sigh, looking out of the iron window, the rising sun and the warm sunlight spilled in. She is not on death row, Zhao Lu picked a sunny cell for her, and no one dared to snub her.
But Xia Yu was not happy, and he was not happy at all.
She waited all night, but she couldn't wait for the person she wanted to wait.
Sometimes, you want to see someone, but you can't. What you don't want to see, it will pop up from time to time. It's like Dongfang Xu, who is so immortal, that he appeared outside the cell.
"You're coming to see me laughing?" Xia Yu glanced at him, "I saw it, it's time to leave, I don't want to see you." β
"You want to see my father, why don't you come to me? Instead, you want to live here and use yourself as bait? Dongfang Xu asked with a smile, the scholar in white, smiling.
"I can rely on myself, so why should I be in the company of wolves? What's more, it's still a white-eyed wolf. Xia Yu was disdainful, she thought about it all night, and she also figured it out a little in her heart, "Dongfang Xu, your stepfather has been missing for so long, you are not worried at all." β
Dongfang Xu smiled, "You are talking from my mouth in a crook." β
"You guessed it all, it's still a corner?" Xia Yu pouted, "I'm obviously talking from your mouth, stupid." β
He frowned, "You are in prison, and you can still be so free, you are the first." β
"Don't do it." Xia Yu was disdainful, "Say, what do you want to do?" If I do it, I'm not afraid of you. Besides, this is a prison, the emperor has ordered it, you are not allowed to interrogate, what can you do with me? All your abilities are on the lips. When you're done talking, please raise your feet, go backwards, turn left and turn right, and don't send it. β
Dongfang Xu smiled lightly, "Your temperament is still so straight, it hasn't changed at all." β
"You've only known me for a long time, and you don't know what has changed!" Xia Yu didn't bother to deal with him, "Dongfang Xu, don't be close, although I want to see your father-" She paused, still a little unwilling to admit her relationship with Dongfang Yue. Taking a deep breath, Xia Yu said coldly, "Even if I am, then the first thing I want to do is to let your stepfather slaughter you, so as not to have endless troubles." β
"You won't." Dongfang Xu smiled coldly, "Because you won't recognize him at all, because he killed your best brother Yuan Hu." If he kills you, you can forgive, but if you kill your brother, you will never forget the poisonous oath you made in front of Yuan Hu's grave! β
"My business with Huzi is about your, you don't have a dog to take a mouse." Xia Yu said coldly, "Huzi and I are brothers, no matter what I do, he will forgive me." You're so cold-blooded, do you know what a brother is? Bullshit! β
Dongfang Xu snorted coldly, "Brother, right?" Well, you value love and righteousness, and I will let you understand that love and righteousness cannot be both. β
After speaking, Dongfang Xu brushed his sleeves and left.
It's just that his last sentence seems to have something to say.
Xia Yu frowned, but he didn't know that Dongfang Xu actually meant others.
In the capital, Zhao Shuo was properly arranged, so naturally there would be no trouble, but no one expected that at this critical time, Liang Yiru would come back.
