The man in black was furious and pointed at the kneeling people and said, "Even if you suspect Xie Zhao, can't you find a way to investigate secretly?"
A group of rabble gathered together to challenge Xie Zhao to a competition of archery. Could their purpose be more obvious?
"You're almost telling Xie Zhao that you suspect him!"
"Idiots, you're more likely to cause trouble than to accomplish anything! With your brains, you still want to enjoy a hundred years of wealth and luxury?"
The man in black rubbed the veins on his forehead and fell into deep thought.
The nobles looked around and winked at each other.
After Duke Mao's death, the group was leaderless and they panicked instantly, fearing that they would be the next to be liquidated.
The man in black sneered, "The Duke of Mao's mansion has over a hundred guards, but the assassin was injured and managed to escape unscathed. I guess someone is secretly covering for him."
On that day, Xu Qian from the Five Cities Military Commander led the search.
The Xu family seems to be inclined towards the nobles, but perhaps they have had ulterior motives for a long time.
"Xiao She appeases the nobles on the surface, but suppresses them secretly. Wait a few years and he'll take over military power. The first thing he'll do is deprive them of their titles!"
Every word the man in black said made the kneeling people feel a little gloomy.
"Master, our ancestors followed Taizu to conquer the world and made great contributions. We can't just abandon them now that the world is at peace!"
The nobles felt very aggrieved. They were used to a life of wealth and had done a lot of things like robbing men and women over the years. If they were demoted to poverty and became penniless, everyone they had offended in the past would come to step on them.
The man in black sneered, "How dare you bring up the past? How many years have passed since then?"
Counting on my fingers, I found that Da Qi had been established for a hundred years.
"Thank goodness our ancestors were capable, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to raise good-for-nothings like you."
The emperor nominally accompanied the empress dowager to the temporary palace for a short stay to relax, and while the families in the capital were relaxing, he had to send people to look for evidence of the crime.
"Be careful not to let me clean up your mess again."
After the man in black scolded, the black shadow disappeared in a flash.
The room was completely silent, and it took a long while for the nobles to return to the training ground.
I have been following my master for several years. My master knows everything about the court, and he is like a dragon that can't be seen from head to tail.
This was the first time they met in close proximity after Duke Mao's death.
As long as you join a wise leader, the future will be bright.
In the martial arts arena, the nobles became lively again.
Xiao She and his men had been wandering around the area for a quarter of an hour. The secret guard notified him to come to the rescue, but where were the people?
Xiao She was anxious to find someone and asked, "Has anyone seen Lord Xie?"
"In reply to the Emperor, Mr. Xie has been abducted by his wife."
The bystander said this with a gloating smile on his face.
Xie Zhao usually looks pure and innocent, and often refuses to buy into others' ideas, putting everyone in a difficult position and forcing Jiang Yuzhu to discipline him.
So, Jiang Yuzhu took Xie Zhao away directly, and Xie Zhao didn't dare to say a word of "no". It really is true that there is always someone who can defeat you.
The afternoon sun was glaring, and the light poured into the green gauze window, illuminating the bedroom brightly.
Jiang Yuzhu sat at the table, her chin supported by one hand and her eyes closed. Her thick eyelashes cast a layer of shadow on her fair face. There was a hairpin on her head. She seemed uncomfortable. She moved her head slightly, but her breathing was smooth.
Xie Zhao pulled at his half-open inner garment, interest flashing in his eyes.
Jiang Yuzhu had just forcibly brought him back to check his wound, and she fell asleep in less than half an hour.
Perhaps feeling that she was being watched, Jiang Yuzhu suddenly opened her eyes. Her eyes were misty and extremely dazed.
Xie Zhao's heart skipped a beat. He suppressed the subtle emotions that suddenly rose up, and his voice unconsciously lowered a bit: "Yuzhu, go to sleep."
Afterwards, Jiang Yuzhu obediently closed her eyes, looking extremely tired.
Xie Zhao took off the hairpins on Jiang Yuzhu's head, and her long black hair immediately fell down smoothly, hitting his face like silky satin, with bursts of faint fragrance.
He held her horizontally in his arms, and his lower abdomen couldn't help but tighten.
In her sleep, Jiang Yuzhu opened her red lips slightly, and her lips were shining like jade.
Xie Zhao couldn't help but lower his head and pecked her lips lightly. Then, as if nothing had occurred to him, he gently carried Jiang Yuzhu to the bed.
At this moment, Jiang Yuzhu shrank and was awakened.
The scorching heat on his lips and the faint scent of bamboo definitely belonged to Xie Zhao.
Could it be that Xie Zhao, who has always been a gentleman, kissed her secretly?
To avoid embarrassment, Jiang Yuzhu tried her best to regulate her breathing and pretend to be asleep, thinking in her heart that if he dared to move his mouth again, she would open her mouth and bite him!
Xie Zhao narrowed his eyes and watched the scene silently, gently touching Jiang Yuzhu's lips with his fingertips.
How can the touch of lips and fingers be the same?
To bite or not to bite?
Jiang Yuzhu was struggling when she heard footsteps stopping at the gate.
Xie Zhao came to his senses, pulled off the clothes hanging on the screen and put them on, then strode out to greet him.
Xiao She saw the person and said with a smile: "Yuanhe, I..."
Xie Zhao made a gesture to silence him, and told the maids outside to serve carefully. Then he said to Xiao She, "Yuzhu is taking a nap."
Xiao She almost fell over. "Jiang Yuzhu is so precious now. In order not to disturb her sleep, I have to keep my mouth shut?"
After walking a distance, Xie Zhao finally explained, "Yuzhu is a little exhausted from protecting me."
Xiao She waved his hands carelessly, feeling exhausted. "They are all trivial matters. I am not that narrow-minded."
Xie Zhao pulled out a letter from his pocket, frowning slightly: "Your Majesty, my salary has not been paid yet. Can you lend me some money?"
Xiao She asked cautiously, "Yuanhe, is Jiang Yuzhu going to start a drama again?"
He had two theater tickets that were only priced at 80%, so he could save some money.
"Yuzhu's birthday is coming."
Before coming to the palace, his mother Shen had already sent someone to remind him.
