Chapter 40: Reward
As for the Fang family, Mrs. Fang chattered in the lobby: "The assassins who suddenly appeared are really damned, they were originally well rewarded, but they just made them mess up." ”
Fang Hao looked at Fang Xu and said, "Why did you deliberately let them go?" ”
"What?" Mrs. Fang didn't seem to believe it: "Fang Hao, you are not allowed to talk nonsense, how can Fang Xu let those wicked people go." ”
"Mother, it was indeed my idea." Fang Xu said slowly.
"Ah, but you can't be heard by your father." Mrs. Fang nervously pulled Fang Xu and instructed Fang Hao to suppress her voice: "You are not allowed to talk nonsense, if it reaches the ears of the emperor, it will be copied all over the house." This collusion is a great crime. ”
"What collusion?" As he spoke, Master Fang slowly walked into the lobby.
"Oh, nothing, I mean what happened today. Obviously, there are people in the mansion who collude with each other, and I am very suspicious when I look at that Lan Xiaoqiu. Madame Fang shifted her target to Lan Xiaoqiu.
"She's a yellow-haired girl, how can she be? Even if she had anything to do with Li Tianba's remnants, she would never dare to assassinate her, presumably today's incident was that the female assassin made her own decisions first, and in the end she didn't die under Fang Xu's sword? Master Fang was helped to sit on the chair and said in a deep voice.
Mrs. Fang hurriedly echoed: "Yes, yes, yes, Fang Xu is a meritorious escort." Just ran one, and the emperor was furious, but why did the emperor remember Fang Hao so deeply? Mrs. Fang wondered.
"What do you know as a woman, the emperor cares about the courtiers, and will naturally remember the names of the courtiers' families." Old Man Fang was impatient with his cane.
"It is said that the emperor has a lot of opportunities, why is the emperor's brain so good?" Mrs. Fang was still haunted by the emperor's call out Fang Hao's name.
"The emperor is what you can speculate as a layman?" After Master Fang finished speaking, he stood up again and instructed the girl, "Help me go back to the room." ”
Mrs. Fang rolled her eyes and said, "Why am I a woman?" How to say that I am also Mrs. Sanpin. Mrs. Fang held the bun on her head, and then instructed again: "Fang Hao, don't talk nonsense, remember?" ”
Fang Hao gave up his hand to send Mrs. Fang out.
Watching his mother go out, Fang Xu sneered: "Thank you today, I really didn't expect you to come out and intercede for me." ”
"I just don't want you to be a bother." Fang Hao finished coldly and stepped out of the door. Fang Xu clenched his fists tightly, he understood that if he caught alive today, it was very likely that the emperor would know about letting Li Tianba go that day. And the remnants of the party at the gate of the marshal's mansion, Fang Xu also went to investigate one by one, as long as there was a living mouth, they were all wiped out one by one, now only Li Da and a few village owners are on the run, Fang Xu has already released the news and went out, as long as he sees Li Tianba's remnant party, he will be killed. ’
Li Zhen should have been captured alive, but Fang Xu stabbed her to death without leaving a single mouth alive, which was also the purpose that both Fang Hao and Ruo Su understood.
The night at the Marshal's Mansion was unusually quiet, as if nothing had happened.
"Ruosu, are you asleep?" The marshal knocked on Ruosu's door, and Ruosu yawned and asked, "Daddy, is there anything else going on at such a late hour?" ”
"Today's ......" the marshal seemed to choke on something: "Today, you are not frightened, are you?" ”
"Daddy, how could I be frightened? I've seen all the more tragic scenes than this, didn't a few people die? What is it compared to the corpses on the battlefield? Ruosu handed over the word from the window.
"You...... Oh, it's okay. The marshal seemed to have something to say, and turned to leave.
"Daddy." Ruosu opened the door and called the marshal, and the marshal turned around, his eyes full of pity. Ruo Su wanted to ask his father at that moment, did he know that the mastermind behind the killing of his mother was the queen, seeing that his eyes were full of care, but he didn't want to pierce the window paper and let his father fall into the trap of thoughts, so he said slowly: "Daddy, you also go to bed early, it's not too early." ”
"Yes." The marshal bowed down. Seeing Ruosu close the door and turn off the lights, the marshal walked into the courtyard and looked at the bright moon in the sky: "Ruosu damn it, are you good in the sky?" ”
The next day, the marshal received the news that the queen had summoned Ruosu to the palace, and the marshal said to the visitor: "Ruosu was frightened last night, I'm afraid it is not appropriate to see the queen." ”
But the summoned father-in-law said: "The queen is worried about Miss Ruosu, and she wanted to catch up yesterday but was disturbed by those wicked people. The queen still wants to reward Ruosu, and she can only pass it on to the palace to reward. ”
Ruo Su didn't know when he stood behind the marshal: "Did the queen's aunt tell me to go?" I also want to meet the Queen, and I have something to ask the Queen's aunt. ”
Hearing Ruosu say this, the marshal chuckled in his heart and asked nervously, "What do you want to ask?" ”
Ruo Su smiled: "I want to ask the queen's aunt for a reward, and while I am going to get married, I naturally want more things to come over." ”
The eunuch glanced at Ruosu, as if observing her expression, and then bowed down and said, "Miss Ruosu is really not surprised, she can still be comfortable after seeing such a big killing yesterday." ”
Ruo Su smiled slightly and saluted her father-in-law, and her father-in-law hurriedly returned the salute, Ruo Su pretended to show off: "There are many more tragic on the battlefield, such as a broken head and a neck tendon, such as a broken waist and a diaphragm, such as ......" Ruo Su talked with a smile, which made his father-in-law's frightened face pale: "Miss Ruosu, don't say it, the slave family is timid." ”
Ruo Su said with a smile: "Aunt Queen wants to reward me, I don't dare to take too much, I also want to give Aunt Queen the same treasure." ”
"Ah, Miss Ruosu is really filial, what do you want to give to the queen?"
"Needless to say, I'm ready, my father-in-law just needs to carry it to the palace." Ruosu pointed to a large wooden box.
Gonggong: "Everything that enters the palace must be checked." ”
Ruo Su faked anger and said, "Doesn't Aunt Queen still trust me?" ”
After hearing this, the father-in-law hurriedly laughed and said: "Where is it, the slave family will report it, if the queen mother does not agree, the slave family has no choice." ”
"The queen loves me the most, how can you disagree?" Ruo Su smiled innocently, which made both the father-in-law and the marshal relax their vigilance.
Ruosu waited outside the palace with the wooden box, and her father-in-law went to tell him, and her father-in-law smiled at Ruosu, and even conveyed it clearly with a look. The queen thought for a moment and said, "Tell her to bring it." ”
Seeing that his father-in-law went down to spread the word, he told Ruyun: "You can be clever and don't leave the palace an inch." ”
"Yes." Ruyun didn't dare to slack off.
Ruo Su ran into the palace, and when she saw the queen, she was a flutter, which scared Ruyun, and the queen was naturally startled, but saw Ruo Sujiao and said: "Aunt Queen, I didn't hug Aunt Queen well when I was destroyed by bandits that day, Ruo Su misses you." If the emperor hadn't lost his temper that day, Ruosu would have hugged you well. ”
"Look at this child, he's going to get married, and he won't grow up yet." Seeing Ruosu's liveliness, the queen and Ruyun relaxed slightly.
"It's true to get married, but in front of my aunt, Ruosu will always be a child. My mother died early, if you are a female elder like you, does the queen's aunt know that my father has married a new woman? Ruosu asked.
"That's your aunt, how can you call it a woman?" The queen pretended to be kind and corrected.
In Ruosu's eyes, the only one who can take the place of the mother is the queen's aunt, and Ruosu hates that woman and her daughter. They must have felt that Ruosu had no mother, so he was so domineering. Ruosu pouted very unhappily.
"Oh, look at you, who would dare to treat you badly? If they dare to make a mistake, you tell your aunt, and she will help you out. The queen patted Ruosu's head, and Ruosu buried her head in the queen's lap: "I thought that my father would not marry again, but I didn't expect my father to be the same as those stinky men." ”
"Don't say that about your daddy." The queen faked resentment.
"I dare to say this in front of the queen's aunt, my father is usually strict, even if he marries that woman, he doesn't dare to lie if he is angry. When I arrived in the palace today, I felt that I was going home, and I wanted to be my mother. Ruosu burst into tears as he spoke.
"Ouch, this is the second time my aunt has seen you shed tears, what's wrong? Is that aunt really bad? It seems that my aunt must teach them a lesson. The queen was just talking, and she was very satisfied with Ruo Su's undisguised tears in front of her eyes.
Ruo Su touched her tears and said: "It's just that when I saw the queen's aunt, I felt very wronged, really...... Particularly aggrieved. Ruosu couldn't stop crying.
Ruyun handed over a towel to wipe Ruosu's tears, and Ruosu said, "Thank you Ruyun." ”
So far, the two have not found anything wrong with Ruosu, but after this incident, they seem to have become closer to themselves.
The queen looked at the box and said, "What's in that box?" Just then I listened to the eunuch's reply. ”
Ruo Su seemed to remember something: "Ah, I'm going to suffocate." Ruo Su hurriedly ran down the queen's chair and opened the box, Ruyun stared at the contents of the box tightly, not daring to slack off, but saw a big living person popping out of the box, Ruyun subconsciously protected the queen.
Lan Xiaoqiu rubbed her eyes, leaned on the edge of the box and muttered, "Miss, are you trying to suffocate me to death?" I'm almost going to see Hades. ”
When the guards saw that there were people in the box, they surrounded the box, drew their swords and faced each other, and Ruo Su said, "This is a gift from my aunt." ”
Ruo Su seemed to comfort Lan Xiaoqiu: "Sister Lan, I'm sorry, I forgot about you when I saw my aunt." Ruosu pulled Lan Xiaoqiu and said, "Aunt Queen, this is Ruosu's gift to you." ”
"Is she here to be a palace maid?" The queen guessed.
"Of course not, she's a magical cook, and she cooks food you haven't eaten. Originally, her niece wanted to keep her by her side, but when she heard that her aunt was going to give her niece a reward, she sent Sister Lan here. Ruosu pulled Lan Xiaoqiu out of the box.
"You keep calling her sister, but why haven't I, who is an aunt, heard that my brother gave birth to a daughter?" The queen seemed to quip.
"It was Ruosu who recognized her sister, and she saved Ruosu's life." After Ruo Su finished speaking, he ran to tell the queen about the process of getting to know Lan Xiaoqiu, and naturally he didn't tell Fang Xu about letting Li Tianba go.
After hearing this, the queen pretended to be sad and said: "It's really difficult for you, you naturally don't know about the girl's menstruation, you really scared your niece and nephew, right?" ”
