Chapter 684: Cuscuta Cousin 47
With a "creak," the door was opened.
Sheng Huan was drowsy, and when he was about to fall asleep, Xiao Ye Ze came back.
The man walked quickly forward and looked at his wife who was still sleeping on the bed. His anger faded away and the corners of his lips couldn't help but curl up.
He held his wife's hand and lowered his head.
"Hui Ying..."
The lips were gently pressed against those full lips.
The anxiety in my heart turns into satisfaction.
-
Mansion of Duke Fu.
"Big, big brother!" Fu Jingzhou was so surprised that he almost jumped up when he saw Fu Jinmo.
Fu Jinmo ignored him. The aura around him was enough to torture someone to death at any time.
"Brother..." Fu Jingzhou came over: "You and my cousin may not be destined to be together..."
When Fu Jinmo heard this, he suddenly raised his eyes.
That look was filled with terrifying pressure.
Fu Jingzhou's words came to an abrupt end.
Fu Jinmo did not return to his own yard. He walked and walked, and finally arrived at Jiangxuexuan.
Although the owner of Jiangxuexuan got married, nothing in the house was missing.
It seems that the owner is still there.
Fu Jinmo walked over and accidentally saw a book under the cabinet.
He couldn't help but reach out and pick it up and open it.
A line of hairpin-flowered small calligraphy catches the eye.
[I wish to find a like-minded person, and we will be together till old age.]
Fu Jinmo looked at the line of words and felt like something was gnawing at his heart.
"Someone is coming."
Fu Jinmo closed the book.
"Sir."
Fu Jinmo looked towards the direction of the palace and said in a cold voice: "Plan ahead of time."
-
royal palace.
With a "puff" sound, the sound of the sword penetrating into flesh and blood was heard, and the new emperor impatiently got up from another concubine.
Although he is no longer able to do anything, he still has many ways to torture people.
Moreover, whenever he thought about how Xiao Ye Ze dared to snatch his people, how Duke Fu's Mansion didn't take him seriously, and how someone in the court dared to disobey him, the new emperor became even more angry.
"Waste! Someone, drag him away and feed him to the dogs."
The palace maid came in trembling with fear, and was shocked when she saw that there was not a single piece of good meat on the concubine's body on the ground.
A new eunuch who was pushed in by others and didn't have much experience couldn't help but let out a small sound.
"You." The new emperor looked over suddenly: "Stay."
The young eunuch's legs went weak, his face turned pale, and he suddenly knelt on the ground.
"Your Majesty." At this moment, the chief eunuch hurried forward: "Grand Tutor Zhou, Minister Zhang and others are here."
"not see!"
"Your Majesty, please take back your order!"
Outside, several adults' voices were heard.
"Let them go!"
The new emperor was impatient to listen to that, so he tore open the eunuch's clothes and dripped candlelight on him. Looking at the eunuch's painful eyes, his facial features twisted, and he felt happy.
The eunuch didn't dare to disturb the new emperor and walked out.
"My lords, please go back. The Emperor is busy."
"You eunuch! National affairs are not to be trifled with!"
The eunuch bowed, holding a grudge in his heart, and said sarcastically: "It's all because General Fu and his men are useless. It's been almost two months, and they still haven't been able to get the Turks to withdraw."
"Warfare is costly and the emperor agrees to the Turkic request out of sympathy for the soldiers at the border."
"That's our land, how can we give it up?"
"Your Majesty! We, Daqian, cannot cede our territory!"
"Your Majesty, we are the victors. We must not set a precedent and whet the appetite of the barbarians! Otherwise, the consequences will be disastrous!"
"presumptuous!"
Just as Master Zhou and others were kneeling on the ground, the new emperor suddenly rushed out.
Several ministers saw hope, but they didn't expect that the next moment, the new emperor stabbed the leader, Tutor Zhou, straight into the abdomen with a sword.
-
early morning.
The new emperor announced that he had agreed to the Turks' demands.
"What's the point of fighting a war if the treasury is not well-off?" He waved his hand and said, "The Turks only want a few cities, what's the big deal?"
"Your Majesty is wise!" The flatterers promoted by the new emperor were the first to kneel down: "Our Daqian land is rich, and just a few cities have brought us border harmony. It is really the kindness of your Majesty."
"Your Majesty, you must not do that!" Zhang Xiang knelt down and said, "The Turks have evil ambitions. Moreover, they are definitely not a match for my Daqian."
"Why not!" The new emperor looked at the Minister of Revenue and said, "Since the treasury has no money, let's do this!"
Even though the treasury had no money, the new emperor still went on a massive construction spree, and naturally the new emperor would not think he was wrong.
"Come here, go to the border and pass on the order. There is no need to start a war."
"Your Majesty, there is a report!"
"explain."
The flatterer glanced at the eunuch beside the new emperor without making a sound: "The Turkic Khan said that as long as Duke Fu's head is taken away, the Turkic army will withdraw and even promise not to invade our border for three years."
The new emperor raised his hand and said mercifully: "For the sake of our Daqian, I agree."
Full of uproar.
"Your Majesty! Absolutely not!"
"Absolutely not!"
"Duke Fu is a general of our Daqian. If you execute him for no reason, it will chill the hearts of all the soldiers and civilians in the world!"
The treacherous minister knelt down and said: "Your Majesty is wise. By sacrificing Duke Fu, there will be no war on the border. Duke Fu died bravely for our Daqian!"
"Your Majesty, you must not do this!"
"If the king wants his subjects to die, they must die. Could it be that Duke Fu wants to rebel?"
Everyone in the court held different opinions and blood was shed again.
When the news spread from the court, the whole country was in an uproar and the soldiers were terrified.
But if anyone in the capital discussed this matter, they would be killed by the imperial guards as a warning to others.
-
Duke Xiao’s Mansion.
When Sheng Huan woke up, he was in Xiao Ye Ze's arms.
The man held her tightly.
"Awake?" Xiao Ye Ze lowered his head.
"Yeah." Sheng Huan rubbed his eyes: "Husband... I seem to have had a dream..."
Before she could tell him what she dreamed about, Xiao Ye Ze, who heard her soft voice calling her husband, could no longer control his eyes from shining brightly.
He came closer, unable to hold back, and kissed the woman directly on her lips.
Sheng Huan was stunned and stopped talking.
"Ma'am, I am your husband."
Sheng Huan couldn't bear to look at him in such a silly manner.
-
Xiao Ye Ze has wedding leave and does not have to go to court.
After the two of them had packed up, he took Sheng Huan to meet his parents.
"Good boy, get up quickly."
Lady Xiao, the Duke's wife, was very kind to Sheng Huan. She directly took out the household goods from the mansion and gave him a generous gift.
"You and Ye Ze, be well."
Lady Xiao, Duke of Xiao, held Sheng Huan's hand. The more she held it, the more she liked him. She talked more and more unconsciously.
She glanced at her son's happy face out of the corner of her eye, and felt satisfied but also guilty towards Sheng Huan.
Upon hearing this, Sheng Huan subconsciously looked at the man next to him.
Xiao Ye Ze's eyes were always on her. When he saw Sheng Huan looking at him, he raised his lips.
The sight of the peacock spreading its feathers was an eye-opener for Duke Xiao and his wife.
You know, although this kid smiles on weekdays, that smile is definitely not flattering, it is gloomy, always feels cold and lifeless.
After paying their respects, Sheng Huan and the others returned to Chao Lan Courtyard. Unexpectedly, not long after returning, they learned about the absurd things happening in the court.
She looked pale.
