Chapter 189: Blood in the Heart
A game of chess has been played for a long time, and the fight is fierce, like a battlefield, Jiang Taishi is in the formation of troops, from time to time to test Beiliuyun's plans, but after all, he can't see his attitude towards Beiliuhai.
Bei Liuyun had to admit that the man in front of him was talented enough to cover the world, and he had studied with him in the past two years, and he had made great progress in arranging the troops.
Father Xiao has been thinking about Wang Zhi's proposal since he went back from the first floor.
Now seeing that Beiliuyun's position in the court is becoming more and more stable, and the dispute with the prince is about to come to light, if Beiliuyun can really ascend the throne as the emperor, I am afraid that the Xiao family will not have much credit.
However, Wang Zhi's proposal is too tempting, once Beiliuyun becomes a puppet, the glory of his Xiao family is just around the corner.
The greed in Xiao's father's heart was almost bursting out, and he couldn't help but boil his blood when he thought of the scene of thousands of people bowing in the future.
Sitting at the head of the hall, the wind outside the window blew in, bringing a bit of coolness, but it made him sober up a lot.
Shaking his head, shaking off the desire in his head, he couldn't help but think of Beiliuyun's terrifying methods, and even more so of Xichang's miserable white face, so he couldn't help but tremble.
A few days later, Wang Zhi visited again.
"I wonder how Lord Xiao thinks about our family's proposal?" Wang asked firmly.
Father Xiao sighed and said: "I think this is an excellent opportunity, and it is a good plan, once it succeeds, whether it is the factory or the Xiao family, or the child who falls in the rain will get great benefits, but the child in the evening is too stubborn, and he has a deep affection for Beiliuyun, and he will not do such a thing." ”
A sneer flashed on Wang Zhi's face, it seems that he underestimated Xiao Ze, he thought he was a villain who forgot his righteousness, and he didn't want such a big temptation to refuse?
Hmph, why Xiao Yuluo disagreed, according to her, it was clear that the old beast in front of him didn't mention it at all!
"Since Lord Xiao doesn't have this intention, our family won't be embarrassed." The king straightened up and said.
Wang Zhi's happiness was a little unexpected by Xiao's father, after all, he had been under Wang Zhi for many years, he knew Wang Zhi's temperament very well, and he knew that he knew Wang Zhi's plan now, but he refused to help, what kind of fate would he face.
Even so, he would rather face a ruthless eunuch than face Beiliuyun's cold eyes.
"Don't worry, although the Xiao family can't help much, but the Xiao family is definitely on the side of the factory, and there is not much else to say, I must burn more incense and worship the Buddha on weekdays, and pray for all the success of the factory and create a thousand years of achievements!"
Wang Zhi laughed loudly, with a cold in his eyes that Father Xiao couldn't understand: "Don't worry, Lord Xiao, if our family is successful, this benefit will definitely not be missing Lord Xiao." ”
The two exchanged a few words, and Wang Zhi retired.
Father Xiao wiped the cold sweat on his head, and said that the tiger and the lion were fighting, but it was his antelope who suffered.
Sitting in the same place, I couldn't help but think about whether to tell Beiliuyun about this.
After hesitating again and again, Xiao's father finally chose to remain silent.
Wang Zhi and Beiliuyun competed, if Beiliuyun won, it would be more or less because he did not join forces with Wang Zhi, and he would not blame himself.
If Wang Zhisheng wins, he will also see that he did not have a high density at the beginning, and give himself a little eminence.
Thinking about it like this, Father Xiao made up his mind to remain silent to the end, just as if he didn't know anything, and had been mixed with officialdom for so many years, what did he think about? There are still.
Wang went straight out of the main hall and did not leave directly, but appeared in the backyard of Xiao's mansion.
In the small garden of Xiao's Mansion, a lush forest is staggered to shroud a shade of trees, and the warm sunlight is interspersed with gaps and projected on the ground, which is dazzling.
In the forest, there is a swing, which is wrapped with white flowers and vines, and the green leaves are intertwined, like a fairyland on earth.
Xiao Yuluo was wearing a pale pink gauze skirt and leaning on the rope on the side of the swing, tilting his head, looking at the flowers and plants on the ground not far away, not knowing what he was thinking.
Occasionally, there are a few birdsong and insect calls, but it seems noisy.
Xiao Yuluo's appearance is not extremely beautiful, but he is a little heroic, but now the original heroism has gradually been worn away, and the former arrogance of killing has almost been replaced, but it is even more beautiful than the real lady.
On weekdays, the door does not go out of the two doors, in the Liuyun Palace, she does not dare to be loud, dare not make noise, and dare not dance the sword again, others talk to her, she also has to be careful, for fear that one is careless, implicated in Beiliuyun.
Every day in the room, the most I do is to look forward to his return, if he comes back, he will definitely dress up carefully, look at him from afar, just hope that when he notices, he can look back at himself.
Wang Zhi took a heavy step and walked over, but even so, Xiao Yuluo still didn't check it.
Until standing beside Xiao Yuluo, Wang Zhi said, "What is Yuluo thinking?" Thinking so distracted? ”
Xiao Yuluo turned his head and looked at Wang Zhi, a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he suddenly stood up: "Father-in-law? ”
Wang Zhi opened his arms, Xiao Yuluo pounced on Wang Zhi, and Wang Zhi came to a strong hug: "Father-in-law, how have you been recently?" I wanted to see you, but I haven't heard from you. ”
Wang Zhi showed two kind smiles on his face: "My father-in-law is very good, but my good daughter, how are you doing lately?" ”
Xiao Yuluo stood still, looked at Wang Zhi carefully, and said, "Everything is fine, don't worry about your father-in-law." ”
Wang Zhi nodded, he could see that Xiao Yuluo treated him with some sincerity, but it was not in vain that he had pampered her for so many years.
To say that with their identity and status, it is impossible to treat each other completely sincerely, not to mention others, even if he raised Xiao Yuluo since he was a child, but once his own interests are endangered, he will not hesitate to abandon her, the difference is just a matter of priority.
So now that he sees Xiao Yuluo's eyes with some true feelings for him, he also feels satisfied.
"Don't lie to your father-in-law anymore, your father-in-law just came from your father, and your father told your father-in-law everything, this Nine Highnesses are really too much!" Wang Zhi scolded angrily, his face was disappointing.
"No.. Father-in-law, don't listen to his father's nonsense, His Royal Highness the Ninth is just..."
"Enough! Don't lie to your father-in-law anymore, your father personally went to beg Beiliuyun and begged him to take you out for a spin, Beiliuyun not only refused, but humiliated your father, this breath, your father can swallow it, but the clothes can't swallow it! What's more, how can your father-in-law sit idly by while watching you being wronged!! The king was not light, and he said righteous words.
Xiao Yuluo's eyes were sour, and the pain of the past few days was finally vented in Wang Zhi's affectionate words, and tears were like pearls with broken threads, down his cheeks, and fell on the grass on the ground.
Wang Zhi hurriedly hugged Xiao Yuluo into his arms and patted her on the back: "Good daughter, if you have any grievances, tell your father-in-law, and your father-in-law will definitely call the shots for you!" ”
Xiao Yuluo hugged Wang Zhi and cried bitterly, aggrieved and heartbroken, so that everyone who listened couldn't help but feel broken.
"Father-in-law.. His Royal Highness the Nine, he doesn't love me at all. He doesn't love me at all... No matter what I do, he doesn't love me... Whining. ”
A dark color flashed in Wang Zhi's eyes: "Don't be afraid, your father-in-law has his own way, and he will definitely make him fall in love with you!" ”
Xiao Yuluo wiped away the tears on his face and looked at Wang Zhi in a haze: "What can my father-in-law do?" ”
Wang Zhi said slowly: "There is a Gu master by my father's side, as long as you take Bei Liuyun's blood, my father-in-law promises that from now on, he will only love you in his life." ”
Xiao Yuluo was stunned: "Heart-blooded? Did my stepfather mean that he would use Gu magic to control Beiliuyun and make him fall in love with me? ”
"Exactly."
"But if you use Gu magic to make Childe fall in love with me... It's somewhat..."
"Huh? Why do you care so much, think about it, Beiliuyun is still that Beiliuyun, from now on, he will be with you every day? Beside you, you are the only one in your eyes? What's the difference between this and whether or not you use Gu magic? ”
Under Wang Zhi's persuasion, Xiao Yuluo seemed to fall into an infinite reverie, and his face couldn't help but have some hesitation.
"Yuluo, you kid just admit death, don't worry, even if you use Gu magic, it won't cause him any harm, the difference is that he will completely belong to you from now on."
Xiao Yuluo's expression was moved, and he bit his lip and said, "I'll try, I don't have much contact with His Royal Highness Nine on weekdays." ”
"You are the closest person to His Royal Highness the Nine, except for you, my father-in-law believes that no one else can do it."
Xiao Yuluo nodded, with a look of certainty.
Seeing this, Wang Zhi's face showed a smile, and he comforted Xiao Yuluo a few more words before leaving.
A few days later, Xiao Yuluo returned to Liuyun Hall from Xiao's mansion.
Beiliuyun has also been very busy in recent days, and has been busy planning for flooding.
After carefully reading the sketches submitted by several people, and thinking about it in his heart, Beiliuyun let out a sigh of relief, put down the things in his hand, and leaned back on the chair behind him.
Seeing this, Gonggong Su said softly: "The princess is back today. ”
"Hmm."
Gonggong Su didn't dare to say more.
Who is this Beiliuyun in his heart, he knows who he has been by his side for so long, and Xiao Yuluo's status, needless to say, can also be seen.
Just when Gonggong Su thought that there would be no more follow-up, Beiliuyun spoke: "Please come over and have dinner together when the rain falls." ”
Father-in-law Su was stunned for a moment, shook his ears, convinced that he had heard correctly, looked at Beiliuyun carefully, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this man is really every good thing, and he thought he was very affectionate, but it turned out to be just a virtue.
"Father-in-law Su is so fascinated, is there a flower on the face of the palace?"
The faint voice interrupted Grandpa Su's thoughts, and Grandpa Su shrunk his neck: "Slave will go." ”
In the next few days, Beiliuyun ignored and was indifferent to Xiao Yuluo as always, and what was different from the past was that Xiao Yuluo no longer blindly interrupted and stayed aside, and appeared in front of Beiliuyun several times a day.
Gonggong Su said straight in his heart that this princess was too tenacious, but it was just a dinner that made her like this.
Time flies very quickly, half a month has passed in a blink of an eye, the prince in the Linghe area caused a huge momentum, but also used a way to inspire the people, in addition to the construction of the officers and soldiers, but also a lot of people, but because of the promise to use the treasury at least possible, in order to win the favor of the Northern Yan Emperor, Beiliuye gave not much money.
However, the people on the riverbank thought that in the event of a flood, they would suffer themselves, so they also put down their work and began to help build day and night.
But half a month has passed, and the promised flood has been delayed, and everyone has been a little slack for a while.
