Chapter 122 I owe him this

The actors on the stage took the letter and tore it up on the spot after reading it. They all had a look of contempt on their faces, treating it as a joke. They didn't believe that King Zhao would abandon the donkey after it had served its purpose.

"Dong, dong, dong! Dong! Dong!" The drum is played with a single-skin drum, and a small gong is used as an embellishment on the side. The story comes to an end, sometimes fast and sometimes slow.

All those former subordinates, now high-ranking officials, died in accidents. Some were killed by bandits while going out, and some accidentally fell off a cliff and were never found alive.

The ones who suffered the most were the counselors. Some of them recalled the previous letter and now regretted it, but it was too late.

The King of Zhao sent a sword, and someone recognized it as the sword that the King of Zhao once used to kill the King of Li.

Another eunuch brought a message: "You taught me seven ways to conquer the Li people. I used three of them and defeated them. The fourth is in your hands. Please try it for me from the previous king."

After hearing this, the counselors fell to their knees. If they did not obey, they would not only die.

In the end, only the reclusive strategist survived among the former Zhao army.

In the last scene, the curtain opens and everyone is gone. The background changes to a paradise. The beauty who once bewitched the King of Li slowly walks onto the stage. Behind her follows the counselor who escaped the disaster. In the end, the two of them live happily in the paradise.

The curtain fell and the play ended. All the actors came on stage and bowed, and the audience burst into thunderous applause.

“What a show!”

I don’t know which private room on the second floor shouted.

The people in the lobby on the first floor also cheered.

Xu Zhao also clapped his hands, "This play is not cliché. The counselor has the ability to come up with plans and the vision to retreat at the right time. It's really extraordinary."

The people in the hall dispersed one after another.

After listening to the play, it was getting late and Xu Zhao was ready to get up and leave.

“Chaoxi, if that day really comes, I’m afraid I will be like most counselors.” Shen Yu suddenly spoke up, feeling a lot after watching this play.

It was the first time Xu Zhao was called Zhaoxi, and he was not used to it. He was stunned at first, then sat back in his chair.

The waiter outside the door saw that the guest in the private room had not come out yet, and heard the sound of conversation inside. He did not dare to go in and disturb them, so he had to go and clean up the other private rooms first.

Most of the people who come to the second floor of Yuhe Building to listen to opera are well-known figures, so they will not default on their debts.

These nobles would often leave money for tea and snacks on the table, and the waiter would collect it.

Today's show was novel. Many guests in the private rooms on the second floor put in a lot of silver and money. The waiter grinned happily and secretly stuffed some copper coins on his body. He collected the remaining silver and gave it to the shopkeeper.

"Why, you obviously have the ability to..." Xu Zhao felt a little restless and almost jumped up from his chair.

Before he could even utter the word "rebellion", he was interrupted by Chen Yu, "Chao Xi, don't talk nonsense!"

"Now that the government is in good order and the people are in harmony, I can't do it and I don't know how to do it. Besides, I don't like that position."

"But what if one day, he forces you to rebel?" Xu Zhao began to choke up as he spoke. History recorded that Shen Yu was killed for rebellion, which meant that something must have prompted all this.

"Zhao Zhao!" Chen Yu called out Xu Zhao's name again, "I won't rebel. If he insists on killing me, then I will give him my life, no matter what method he uses to kill me in the end. Because I owe him this!"

If it weren't for me, my royal brother wouldn't have had to live in fear. He would be the only child of our father, the emperor, and our mother, the queen, and the rightful heir to the Moon Kingdom.

"Don't be sad for me." Before the tears in Xu Zhao's eyes fell, Shen Yu gently wiped her eyes with his fingertips and wiped away her tears. "You don't belong to this world. Maybe after I die, you won't come here again. You can live a good life in your world and forget me."

The times are the gap between two people, so two people who like each other cannot even express their love. They can only be kind to each other instinctively, put aside worldly views, and do what they want to do.

"I will never forget you!" Xu Zhao said firmly. It is said that first love is unforgettable, but she never expected that she would experience it one day.

"You will forget it. No matter how deep the memory is, it will fade away one day." Shen Yu said this, but he was also very sad in his heart.

He was really scared that one day when Xu Zhao woke up, her memory of him would start to blur. He was afraid that Xu Zhao would face such a thing alone, and how helpless she would be at that time.

Xu Zhao said stubbornly: "If the day comes when my memory becomes blurred, I will definitely forget you! I won't be sad for you!"

"Okay! Don't cry anymore." Shen Yu held Xu Zhao in his arms. He sighed softly, thinking how much he had hurt Xu Zhao's heart in history.

Chen Yu will never know that Xu Zhao's sadness lies in the fact that he was the last person to rebel, but in the end he was labeled a rebel and was infamous for all eternity. Her heart ached.

After being comforted for a long time, Xu Zhao finally came to his senses and withdrew from Chen Yu's arms.

After staying in Shen Yu's arms for a long time, her little face turned red and the hair on her forehead became messy.

She raised her eyes and brushed her hair. The hot water bottle she brought with her had gone cold during dinner, so she threw it into the carriage. Her hands were cold now, and she touched her face and said, "Let's go back."

"good."

Chen Yu took out one or two taels of silver from his purse, enough for today's tea and snacks. He placed it on the table, then took a hand from Xu Zhao's face, held it, opened the door and walked out of the private room.

As they walked, he said, "Your hands are so cold. They are always like this every time I hold your hands. But was it always like this in your time?"

Chen Yu felt that Xu Zhao's body in this era must be based on her original body, so after she died in this world, her body would also disappear.

After hearing this, Xu Zhao thought for a moment, nodded without reacting, and then found that Shen Yu was walking in front with his back to her and could not see her movements at all.

So he said, "It seems that what you said is true. I used to live in the south, and I always felt very cold in the winter. My hands and feet were also cold during the day. I couldn't warm myself up at all, unless I relied on something that gave me heat."

Her three-piece winter set: electric blanket, hot water bottle, and air conditioner. Without these three items, she feels she cannot survive a modern winter.

"I will have someone pass a sign into the palace tomorrow and ask the head of the Imperial Hospital, Doctor Wei, to come and see you. Remember to memorize the prescription he writes and drink it when you return to your time."

"Okay." Xu Zhao agreed, even though it was still summer in her time.

Tomorrow I will ask the imperial physician to prescribe some medicine that I can drink on a daily basis to nourish myself. Maybe I won’t feel cold in winter.
