Chapter 66: It's time for the imperial uncle to get married
The cold sword was on Xia Yu's neck, and as long as the blade moved even a few more centimeters, she could be killed on the spot. Xia Yu stood there without moving, with a pair of cold eyes, staring fiercely at Sun Qi in front of him.
"I want to take people away from King Mao's mansion. You should also ask the prince if he agrees. Sun Qi sneered.
The sound of footsteps came from behind Xia Yu, and she knew that it must be Zhao Yu, the king of Mao.
Sure enough, Zhao Yu finally walked up to Xia Yu, "As early as the banquet in King Rui's Mansion, this king knows about your private affairs. You have a private meeting with me behind my back. I didn't expect you to dare to come to King Mao's Mansion today. You are so darling, where are you going to put this king? β
Xia Yu glanced at him. "Since you know that I am from the Rui Wangfu, you still don't want your people to move the sword away?"
Sun Qi put away his sword and silently retreated to Zhao Yu's side. Come, sarcasm.
"Shuying is already my person, the singing and dancing queen of King Mao's Mansion, even if this king doesn't want her, she doesn't want to get out of King Mao's Mansion. Life is a person from King Mao's Mansion, and death, she is also a ghost of King Mao's Mansion. Zhao Yu sneered, staring fiercely at Shuying.
That kind of look almost wants to eat people.
Xia Yu stopped in front of Shuying, "Then what do you want to let her go?" β
"I ransomed this slut for 100,000 taels, and if you take her away like this, won't I be in a state of panic?" Zhao Yu gritted his teeth, "Even if I'm tired of playing." It won't be given to you in vain. β
"Isn't it just about money? I'll give you this 100,000 taels. Xia Yu took a deep breath, she felt that it was a pity that she hadn't been a real man in her life. Such a heroic thing to save the beauty can be spread on himself, and he is so ambitious.
100,000 taels?
It was raining in her heart: if she sold herself, she didn't have 100,000 taels!
But the words are all spoken. How can it be taken back?
Zhao Yu suddenly smiled, how contemptuous he laughed, "One hundred thousand taels, did you hear clearly?" I'm talking about 100,000 taels! You are a servant in the palace of King Rui, where can you get 100,000 taels? Are you looking at me? To kill people and set fires, or to get rich overnight? β
"The prince can't help but underestimate me." At this point, Xia Yu has to be fat when he slaps his swollen face, "As the saying goes, how big your heart is, how bold you are." In this world, those who have the courage to eat, and those who do not have the courage to drink porridge. Isn't it? Since I promised you, I will naturally give you the money, and don't regret it when the time comes! β
Hear the words. Zhao Yu hesitated slightly, looking at Xia Yu's confident appearance, but he didn't believe in evil, "Okay, this king wants to see how bold you are!" Within three days, if you can pay a hundred thousand taels of silver, I will give you Shuying! If not, don't blame me for finding the Rui King's Mansion and leaving you dead. When the time comes, don't regret it! β
Xia Yu straightened up and said loudly, "Okay! The gentleman is quick to say, but you must promise me that you will eat and drink well in Shuying during these three days, and you will not be mean to her. Three days later, all 100,000 taels were offered. Pay the money with one hand, hand over the person, let's clear both! β
Zhao Yu brushed his sleeves away, and Shuying was also taken away.
Xia Yu will never forget it in her life, when Shuying was taken away, her tearful and pleading eyes were so poignant and confusing that it was heartbreaking. She didn't say anything, but she was silent.
100,000 taels!
Another 100,000 taels!
Unless you rob and steal, within three days, Xia Yu will not be able to make up 100,000 taels even if she is killed. Could it be that Zhao Shuo borrowed money? But that stingy ghost will definitely not borrow.
After thinking about it, Xia Yu made a bold decision.
She didn't go to Liang Yiru, because even if she found Liang Yiru, Liang Yiru would not be able to collect 100,000 taels in three days. Nowadays, it is better to rely on no one than on yourself.
Xia Yu went to the place where the Jianghu people gathered, which was a small village outside the capital, and there were many Jianghu people doing business. The goods sold are naturally not normal goods, they are all knives, guns, swords, halberds, and poison antidotes, and there are also people who buy and sell gossip on the rivers and lakes, only you can't think of it, you can't buy it without you, as long as you have money.
After walking around the capital for so long, it was not in vain.
Walking into a pharmacy, Xia Yu placed a silver ingot in front of the cabinet, "I want to buy something." β
The shopkeeper looked up at her, then stared at the white silver, grinned with yellow teeth and asked, "I have poison here, what do you want?" β
"The most venomous spider." She pursed her lips.
The shopkeeper smiled and raised two fingers, "Black Widow, is it poisonous enough?" β
She nodded, adding another ingot, "I want it." β
If you give money, you will naturally sell you something.
Xia Yu walked back with the box in her hand, all the people walking in this village were Jianghu people, and she didn't dare to stay. Any ordinary person may have a great background in the rivers and lakes. If you mess with someone you shouldn't mess with, you'll be in trouble for the rest of your life.
The rivers and lakes are not as good as the imperial court, and the rivers and lakes have their own rivers and lakes, and it is inevitable that there will be unruly ones.
This is the three regardless of the imperial court, so dragons and snakes are mixed, and caution is the best.
When he walked out of the village, Xia Yu was relieved, hugged the box in his arms, and ran towards King Rui. She hid the box in her bedding so that no one would find it.
Just wait until the night, and it will come in handy.
Fortunately, there were many things in the court, and the emperor held a banquet, and Zhao Shuo stayed in the palace at noon.
"Uncle Huang." Zhao Yan smiled lightly.
Zhao Shuo didn't say much, and sat down with his sleeves brushed.
Dongfang Yue snorted coldly and said to Zhao Lu and Empress Dowager Bo Yao, "Weichen heard that Emperor Yuan Bi of Great Xia intends to negotiate peace with my Dayan, and I would like to invite the royal woman of Dayan to marry Prince Yuan Lei." β
When the sound fell, Zhao Yan looked up in amazement and quickly looked at Bo Yao and Zhao Lu.
"Before Daxia opened his mouth, the regent began to worry about the marriage of the prince of Daxia, is it a bit rushed?" Zhao Shuo opened his mouth lightly.
"The Queen Mother?" Zhao Yan began to cough as soon as she was excited, a delicate and unparalleled face, her cheeks were crimson at the moment, and her dying state was as delicate as Xi Shi's heart, which was unbearable.
Bo Yao said coldly, "Yan'er doesn't need to panic, if this is really the case, this royal woman is not the only one." The many children of the first emperor, even if there are no orthodox princesses, also have side branches. How can the queen mother be willing to let you go, let alone your body, and you can't go so far. β
Zhao Yan gasped and eased the expression on her face.
"What do you think, Lord Regent?" Bo Yao asked.
"What the Queen Mother said is very true." Dongfang Yue looked at Zhao Yan with a little worry, "The princess is unwell, do you want to ask the imperial doctor to take a look?" β
Zhao Yan shook her head with a smile, "Thank you, Lord Regent, I'm fine." β
Lan Zhu quickly handed over a pill, and Zhao Yan took the medicine, and her face softened slightly.
Seeing this, Dongfang Yue breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhao Shuo drank tea slowly, and heard Dongfang Yue mention the marriage between the Rui Wangfu and the Ye family, so he looked up to look at Dongfang Yue.
"It's time to settle this matter." Bo Yao spoke, then turned his head to look at Zhao Lu, "What does the emperor think?" β
Zhao Lu took a deep breath and nodded, "Uncle Huang has been alone for many years, and it is time to get married." β
"Even if you have been alone for many years, you don't have to rush for a while." Zhao Shuo replied lukewarmly.
Bo Yao said, "The bloodline of the Zhao family is becoming more and more sparse, if King Rui is still not careful, how can he be worthy of the ancestors of the Zhao family?" The withering of the royal family is not a good thing. King Rui should spread out the branches and leaves for the royal family and add more heirs, so that there can be successors, and it will be beneficial and disadvantageous to the consolidation of Dayan's country. β
Zhao Shuo hooked his lips, "The emperor has no heir, and the queen mother should be in a hurry." β
Bo Yao was dumbfounded.
"It seems that King Rui has a heart, otherwise why is he so repulsed by this marriage?" Dongfang Yue inserted a lever.
"This king's heart belongs to the regent, and I don't know the regentβcan you be willing to grow old with this king?" Zhao Shuo seemed to be smiling.
Dongfang Yue didn't laugh angrily, "I'm afraid it's a lose-lose!" β
"No love is no harm, what does the regent think?" Zhao Shuo's eyebrows raised slightly, and he smiled so evilly. A pair of charming peach blossom eyes, slightly glowing, as if his heart really belongs to Dongfang Yue and wants to marry him.
Seeing this, Dongfang narrowed his eyes more and more, and did not want to entangle.
"Uncle Huang doesn't want to?" Zhao Lu hesitated.
Zhao Yan smiled, "Uncle Huang isn't itβhe really has a heart, right?" β
Zhao Shuo rubbed his eyebrows, "The women of the world have plans or grievances against this king, and this king does not want to get involved." But it is enough to be alone, chic and sprinkled. β
"Uncle Huang is so courageous." Zhao Yan pursed her lips and smiled, her eyes gentle.
Zhao Lu said, "It's just that the Rui Wangfu is so big, and there still needs to be a woman in charge of things." Which prince and grandson do you think is not three wives and four concubines? I don't ask Uncle Huang to do this, but I ask Uncle Huang to leave someone by his side to take care of him. If I can add a son and a half daughter in the future, it will be my heart. β
Zhao Shuo sighed lightly and glanced at Zhao Lu.
After a long time, Zhao Shuo narrowed his eyes, took a sip of tea in a cup, and his voice was light and cold, "Dispose of it with the emperor." β
A marriage was decided in this way.
As a royal person, political marriage is sometimes unavoidable. I can hide from the first day of junior high school, but I can't hide from the fifteenth.
is not like ordinary people, and after all, it is helpless.

Because everyone was drinking and feasting, Dongfang Qing walked around the palace. When I looked up, I was surprised to find the Wenhua Palace, so I went in to look for a book, but found that a man was struggling to write.
"Why are you alone?" Dongfang Qing looked around, "What's your name?" β
Those who can walk around the palace and dress differently from Gong'e are by no means ordinary and idle.
"Xiaguan Wenhua Hall walks, Liang Yiru." He bowed.
"You don't have to salute me, I'm not a court official, so I can't afford your big gift." Dongfang Qing smiled, "What did you write?" She stepped forward and saw a small seal written very well on the white paper, "It is difficult for the flowers and the moon to meet, and the grass goes with the wind." If you have to review frequently, it's a pity to be flashy. β
She smiled, "Liang Yiru? But in this test, Liang Yiru? β
