life and death

Zhu Mansion

Huangfu Ruilin's expression was gloomy: "Zhu Fugui, how do you manage things? You have been working for this king for many years, and you can be regarded as conscientious. You have always lived in peace and delivered goods on time. This time it has been delayed for so long. You deliberately Are you looking for trouble with the king?"

Zhu Fugui's face was solemn, and he was full of worries: "I dare not, King Rui forgives the crime. The prince's people have been watching very closely recently. There is no perfect plan and full assurance. I dare not act rashly, selling illegal salt, smuggling arms , any one of them is a heinous crime, and if there is a slight mistake, the consequences will be disastrous."

Huangfu Ruilin let out a muffled sigh: "I'll give you another month to find a way to avoid the Crown Prince's eyes and ears, and to handle this matter well, you must do it seamlessly. Tell your people to be cautious and smart, and deal with it carefully. Something went wrong, you are caught by the crown prince, and you know what the consequences will be." After a pause, he continued: "Also, I heard that King Happy is in your house, and the crown prince was ordered to wipe out Happy City to avoid suspicion. Don’t you understand righteousness? Do you still need this king to teach you how to do it? Everyone avoids him and avoids harm and benefits. It’s better for you to keep him in the house. , everyone in the Zhu family cannot escape the relationship, and the king will not be able to protect you when disaster strikes."

Zhu Fugui respectfully said: "King Xie Rui reminds me, I understand."

The butler knocked on the door: "Master Zhu."

Zhu Fugui said displeased: "What's the matter?"

The butler answered outside the door: "Master Zhu, there is something unusual about the old house."

Before Zhu Fugui could respond, Huangfu Tian Ruilin said, "Come in and answer."

The butler pushed the door open, and Zhu Fugui said, "What's going on?"

"An outsider entered the ice room. According to reports from the people below, it seems to be Mrs. Shen."

Zhu Fugui was very surprised: "Bai Feifei? Why is she there?"

"Who is Bai Feifei?" Huangfu Ruilin asked.

Zhu Fugui said: "The adopted daughter of Bai Jing, the former owner of Ghost Palace, has recently revealed her true identity. She is from the Luo family in Miaojiang. Her real name is Luo Xuefei, and she is the wife of Shen Yue, the owner of Renyi Villa today."

"Shen Yue? Renyi Villa? The son of the former King of Kyushu, Shen Tianjun? The crown prince asks for an order to marry Princess Shiyun."

"It is this man."

Huangfu Ruilin had an unpredictable and wanton smile on his stern face: "Luo Xuefei? I heard that this person is so beautiful, our crown prince took great pains for her, and generously presented her with a holy pool of golden lotus when we met her for the first time. He had never been close to a woman, and beheaded the son of Li Tianlei, Minister of the Ministry of War, for her, and then Li Tianlei used his position as Minister of the Ministry of War to save his son's life, but after a short time, he still did not escape the murder." Huangfu Ruilin said with great interest: "Let's go and have a look. This king wants to see Mrs. Shen's demeanor, and see how such a charming face has such an alluring charm."

Zhu Fugui calmly analyzed: "Prince Rui, this matter is extremely unusual. Logically speaking, it is impossible for Mrs. Shen to appear in Zhu's old house at this time. How could it be possible on the first day of the wedding..."

Huangfu Ruilin smiled deeply: "If this king's prediction is not bad, the prince will be tricked by others. He will use a trick to steal everything, and Shen Yue will use a trick to cover up Chen Cang and hide it from others. Changed back, as expected of Shen Tianjun's descendants, he really has both ability and political integrity, and he didn't disappoint." He laughed heartily, with a look of gloating: "No matter what kind it is, there is nothing to lose if you go to see the excitement."

冰室

Luo Xuechen arrived first, and saw Huangfu Shiyun's pale face, shivering wrapped in a blanket, put down the food basket in his hand, brought out the boiled fresh fish soup, and said tenderly, "Princess, drink some hot soup to warm you up." Warm up."

Huangfu Shiyun smiled slightly, took the soup bowl, and thanked politely: "Thank you, Mr. Luo is really considerate and considerate. Any woman who is attracted by Mr. Luo must be very happy."

"Does the princess feel very happy now?"

Huangfu Shiyun lowered her head shyly.

"Luo Xuechen? Why are you here?" Huangfu Tianyi's voice came, interrupting the hazy beauty between the two of them.

Luo Xuechen calmed down and said leisurely: "I'm here to visit Princess Shiyun."

Huangfu Tianyi looked at the two of them in disbelief, and was furious: "You..." Then he glared at Huangfu Shiyun as if spitting fire, and shouted: "Shiyun, you betrayed me, even you betrayed me..." Furious, the palm wind hit Huangfu Shiyun, Luo Xuechen quickly dodged to block the palm force: "Prince, calm down, it's the fault of the grassroots."

"Luo Xuechen, don't think that because you are her brother, this king won't touch you."

Huangfu Shiyun tore off the human skin mask, and explained: "Brother, I don't have one, I figured it out, I don't want to marry Shen Lang, I don't want to separate him and Feifei, it's really cruel to do that, all I want is A man with love and righteousness, Shen Lang is not the only man with love and righteousness in the world, what I want is a heart that loves me wholeheartedly, his heart is already filled with Luo Xuefei, it is impossible to have My place; all my brother wants is a beautiful face, and she is not the only beautiful woman in this world?"

He tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart, clenched his fists, and his joints creaked: "Shiyun...you...when did you learn to make decisions on your own? When will it be your turn to make decisions for me? How do you know that I am just greedy? Her beauty? How do you know that I'm not really in love with her." With ruthless eyes: "Luo Xuechen, this king warns you, don't think about Shiyun."

"elder brother……"

Huangfu Tianyi resolutely said: "Shiyun, let me tell you clearly, Shen Lang, you can make your own decisions, and your brother will help you, but others can't."

"why?"

"Because Shen Lang is the son of Shen Tianjun, he can help me whether in the court or in the Jianghu. For others, you have no right to choose. Brother can't help you if you want to. Your marriage is either to help your father stabilize the situation in the court. , or to help my elder brother consolidate the crown prince, you should be very clear about this." Huangfu Tianyi's every word and every word is explaining a cruel fact.

"I didn't expect that Zhu's Ice Room would attract His Royal Highness and Princess Shiyun's attention. It's really lively." The thick and malicious voice rang in everyone's ears. .

Huangfu Tianyi frowned: "Ruilin?"

Huangfu Shiyun saluted: "Brother Rui, when did you come to Fenyang?"

"It's only three or two days."

"It's my sister who was rude for not giving brother Rui a clean-up."

Huangfu Ruilin patted her jade hand: "Shiyun is too far-fetched, why should my brothers and sisters be so polite, Brother Rui's love for you has never been inferior to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Huangfu Tianyi put on an unnatural smiling face, said with a sweet tongue, and hid a knife in his smile: "The sixth younger brother traveled thousands of miles to Fenyang, and he didn't come here just to snatch my sister from me, did he?"

"Your Highness was joking, why are His Highness and Sister Yun here?" She glanced at Luo Xuechen.

Luo Xue kowtowed in the morning and said: "The grass people see King Rui."

Huangfu Tianyi said: "Shiyun was hijacked by Xiaoxiao and is hidden here."

Glancing at Luo Xuechen: "Is he the princess he kidnapped?"

Huangfu Shiyun hurriedly explained: "No, no, he saved me, so I was injured." Fu Luo Xuechen stood up, wiped the blood from his lips, and explained his identity: "His name is Luo Xuechen , who once helped the prince's brother in the battle of Happy City, is a rare chivalrous and courageous person."

"Not bad, not bad, good in appearance, indeed the best in the world, it seems that sister Shiyun has moved her heart, and Shiyun's vision is not bad." Huangfu Ruilin pointed out in admiration.

Huangfu Shiyun said duplicity: "Brother Rui would make fun of Shiyun, but I didn't."

Zhu Fugui said: "Please move to another place. The ice room is made of thousands of years of ice. It is not suitable to wait for a long time. What happened in Zhu's house was the negligence of the old man. I will find out the evil person in the future and give it to the prince and the prince." King Rui and the princess have an explanation."

"No need, this king has already left it to Li Xin to deal with." Huangfu Tianyi coldly refused.

"Master Zhu doesn't know something. Li Xin has been with His Highness the Crown Prince for many years, and as long as he goes out, he has never disappointed people." He said with deep meaning: "I heard that His Highness the Crown Prince and Princess Shiyun condescend to the Renyi Villa, and the imperial edict granted by the father will not come out. It will arrive in three to five days, and I intend to visit this young and promising owner of the estate, to see Mrs. Shen's magnificence, and I would like to ask His Royal Highness to introduce her."

"Sixth brother, please."

"Your Highness, please."

A group of people left Zhu's ice room with their own concerns.
