Chapter 82 Yuanhe has changed
The man in black was furious, pointing at the people kneeling on the ground 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 in archery. Could their purpose be more obvious?
"You're just short of telling Xie Zhao that you suspect him!"
"Idiot, you are 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 blue 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: "There are hundreds of guards at the Duke Mao's mansion, 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 will take over the military power. The first thing he will do is to take away the title!"
Every word uttered by the man in black 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 luxury, and had done a lot of things like robbing men and women over the years. If they were to be demoted to penniless status, all the people they had offended in the past would come to step on them.
The man in black laughed and said, "How dare you bring up the past? How many years have passed since then?"
A quick calculation shows that Da Qi has been established for a hundred years.
"Thanks to my ancestors' ability, otherwise I 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 to keep your tail between your legs, and don't 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 martial arts arena.
I have been following my master for several years. My master knows everything about the court affairs, 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 rely on 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 men?
Xiao She was anxious to find someone, so he asked, "Has anyone seen Lord Xie?"
"In reply to the emperor, Mr. Xie was kidnapped by his wife."
The bystander said this with a gloating smile on his face.
Normally, Xie Zhao always looked indifferent and often refused to buy into others' ideas, which made everyone embarrassed and Jiang Yuzhu had to punish him.
So Jiang Yuzhu took Xie Zhao away directly, and Xie Zhao didn't dare to say a word of "no". It's true that there is always someone stronger than you.
The afternoon sun was blindingly bright, and the light poured into the green screen window, illuminating the bedroom brightly.
Jiang Yuzhu sat at the table, her chin on one hand and her eyes closed. Her thick eyelashes cast a shadow on her fair face. There was a hairpin on her hair. She seemed uncomfortable. She moved her head slightly, but her breathing was smooth.
Xie Zhao held onto his half-open inner garment, interest flashing in his eyes.
Just now Jiang Yuzhu forcibly brought him back to check his wound, and less than half a minute later, she fell asleep.
Perhaps sensing that she was being watched, Jiang Yuzhu suddenly opened her eyes. Her pupils were misty and looked extremely dazed.
Xie Zhao's heart skipped a beat, and he suppressed the subtle emotions that suddenly rose up, and his voice unconsciously became a little lower: "Yuzhu, go to sleep."
Afterwards, Jiang Yuzhu closed her eyes obediently, and it was obvious that she was very tired.
Xie Zhao took off the hairpins on Jiang Yuzhu's head, and her 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 slightly opened her red lips, which shone with a jade-like luster.
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 green bamboo definitely belong 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 with this when she heard footsteps stopping at the gate.
Xie Zhao came to his senses, pulled off the clothes hanging on the screen, put them on, and strode out to meet 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, I have to shut up in order not to disturb her sleep?"
After walking a distance, Xie Zhao finally explained, "Yuzhu is a little exhausted from protecting me."
Xiao She waved his hands in a weary manner: "They are all trivial matters. I am not that narrow-minded."
Xie Zhao took out a letter from his bosom, frowning slightly: "Your Majesty, my salary has not been paid yet, can you lend me some money?"
Xiao She asked vigilantly: "Yuan He, is Jiang Yuzhu going to start a show 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.
In addition to Shen, fifth cousin Xie Xuan and cousin Shen Zhilan all wrote letters and sent them to the Jingzhao Yin Yamen.
The whole family paid attention to it, except Xie Zhao who almost forgot about it.
Now that I think of it, I naturally have to prepare a gift for Jiang Yuzhu.
Xiao She said with a pained look on his face: "I just made some jewelry for my mother, you can pick any one."
Such things made in the palace were something that many people begged for but could not obtain, so it was a good deal for Jiang Yuzhu.
Unexpectedly, Xie Zhao refused outright: "The Queen Mother's jewelry is too heavy and not suitable for Yuzhu's age."
Xiao She raised his eyebrows. So Xie Zhao disliked the style he chose because it was old-fashioned?
Xiao She was so upset that he said, "I remember you have farms and forests, so you should have some production. How come you have no money?"
"Give it all to Yuzhu."
Xie Zhao's private money would not exceed ten taels.
When Xiao She heard this, he almost jumped up on the spot: "With so many properties being given away so easily, why don't you give yourself to Jiang Yuzhu?"
The Jiang family is not only poisonous, but also quite poisonous. Look how they have fooled Xie Zhao into a state of disarray.
Xie Zhao said calmly: "I also want to, but I haven't found the opportunity yet."
When the time is right, everything will fall into place.
The main reason was that his wife disliked him, and Xie Zhao didn't want to force her.
He recognized his feelings and took things slowly, knowing that there was still a long time to come.
Xiao She: “…”
The couple maintained a pure relationship, and Jiang Yuzhu took away all of Xie Zhao's wealth.
Xiao She really wanted to say to Jiang Yuzhu: Can you teach him how to do such a good thing?
After learning the Jiang family's method of making money, Xiao She no longer worried about the northern soldiers having no military supplies.
"Jiang Yuzhu has such a big appetite, what birthday gift are you going to give her?"
Xiao She had more than a dozen concubines in his harem, and their noise made his head spin, but he had some experience on how to coax women.
If Xie Zhao asked for advice, Xiao She would definitely teach him everything he knew.
After a long silence, Xie Zhao smiled and said, "The secret between husband and wife, let me keep it secret for now."
Xiao She showed an expression of disbelief. His Yuanhe had indeed changed. He would have definitely told him before!
Retracting his thoughts, Xiao She calmed down and opened the letter in his hand to carefully identify the crooked handwriting: "What do rabbit and eagle mean? Why can't I understand?"
