steal bi

How could such a heartless and ungrateful person like the emperor allow such a nearly stained existence to be by his side, reminding him every day that he was in a wrong position and murdered his brother?I'm afraid in his opinion, it is the result of his deliberate pity that the prince can grow up to this day without incident!

The prince's face became paler.

Duke Huai casually picked a few small, exquisite and unripe light yellow fruits from the trees by the pond, and played with them in his palms. He thought, it doesn't matter if the prince is unwilling, he has been waiting for many years, and he is not in a hurry. Can wait, he can wait slowly.

The prince took a deep breath and looked at Duke Huai.

The child looked at him not as dazed and frightened as before, but with a strange expression on the contrary.

Duke Huai asked with concern: "What's the matter, Your Highness?"

Although he uses the prince, it doesn't mean that he is an uncle who doesn't care about his nephew. In fact, he cares about the princes and daughters very much without any purpose, just because he is really a good uncle.

The crown prince held on to the railing, looked at Duke Huai as if he was meeting him for the first time, and said, "Uncle, why did you tell me this?" From the crown prince's point of view, Duke Huai never cared about government affairs and only cared about having fun. He has met many beauties, with different identities, and even because he accepted an oiran as a concubine last time, he sent Princess Huai back to her natal family in anger, and the emperor came forward to handle the matter properly. This Prince Huai has always been absurd, but... …Having never offended the emperor, the prince said: "Or, why does uncle know this?"

Duke Huai showed a helpless smile, turned the fruit around in his hands, his nails almost scratched the skin, but luckily it was not ripe, and the skin was green and hard, "I just mentioned it casually, and the crown prince also listened casually?"

It wouldn't be surprising if the crown prince immediately realized that he wanted to rebel against him after hearing his words, but such a hesitant reaction was expected by Duke Huai.

He walked to the table, threw the fruit into an emerald bowl filled with dew, and washed the fruit carefully.

The prince looked at his back, hesitant to speak.

Whether it's the emperor or Duke Huai, the prince couldn't help but think that no matter how fierce their looks are, no matter how they look, they are calm and steady, but they are always engraved in their bones. Reckless madness, as if this madness is in the blood of Liu's royal family.

Duke Huai said with a smile: "If what I said today makes His Highness feel overstepped, you can tell His Majesty that you just agree." He washed the fruit and put one in his mouth, the sour taste immediately lingered in his mouth, he frowned, sour There was a churning in my stomach, and I almost vomited it out.

"Of course I do," of course what?The prince paused.Tell His Majesty that Duke Huai is a traitor and has been pretending for so many years?But he clearly wasn't afraid at all, the place was clean and there were no other people, even if there was someone to testify, given the prince's status in the emperor's heart, he would probably think that the prince was crazy, and he might not even have a harsh word to Duke Huai.

Why make the emperor angry again?

Even if, even if Duke Huai really has other intentions, what can he do for so many years in Zhongzhou with neither achievements nor contacts?His little relatives are all in the hands of the emperor, what dare he do?

The law punishes the practice but not the heart, just like what Duke Huai said, he just said it casually, and the prince just listened casually.

The prince was taken aback by his own thoughts.

Walking up to Duke Huai, he didn't know how to speak. Before he could form a word, Duke Huai turned his head and stuffed something into his mouth.

He was startled, subconsciously bit it, the sweet and sour juice exploded in his mouth, and he realized that it was the fruit that Duke Huai had picked.

Duke Huai put down his hands and said with a smile: "I'll give you the most ripe one, for the sake of fruit, can I not tell Brother Huang?"

The crown prince looked at Duke Huai with a very strange look, as if looking at a madman.

The lunatic smiled happily, but his tone was somewhat lonely with a sigh, "Prince, if you are my age, you see all your old friends go away, you have no one to accompany you, and you want to chat for the rest of your life, but you can only see each other when you are drunk. A friend talks about the past years in a dream, "waking up is not cold, the whole body is beautiful, the beauty is in the arms, the wine is in the cup, the feast is not over yet, although the clothes are fragrant, but it is like a single shadow, the old man's eyebrows and eyes are still vivid, but we can't see each other again , and raised his glass again, the wine was already cold, "How do you feel?" He smiled wryly, this smile was hardly considered a smile, the prince had never seen such an expression on Duke Huai's face, "I'm just a few Just a complaint."

The prince paused for a moment, he didn't have the emperor's innate plans after all, he just said: "I won't say anything, please don't mention this matter to Duke Huai in the future." Holding the half-bitten fruit, " I have something else to do, so I will excuse you first."

Duke Huai nodded and said with a smile, "I'm sorry to send you off."

Seeing the prince hurried out, seeming to have forgotten the half-bitten fruit in his hand, Duke Huai smiled even more happily.

He took the remaining fruit out of the emerald bowl.

I don't know if it was his illusion, but he felt that the bowl of water was cooler than before.

So he stopped laughing.

……

Qiao Yu was very restless.

His enmity with the prince was so obvious that the court officials were worried about him, worrying that if something happened to Qiao Yu, Chi Yu would be harmed. It is useless to keep him in the country, and there may be chaos if he goes there. The family hates Qiao Yu as always. A small number of people are just watching the fun, and no matter who gains power, it has no effect on them.

The emperor will not stop him from being a member of the court just because he has an affair with the crown prince, so Qiao Yu has to deal with the affairs of the court and appease his colleagues without any trace. .

It is a great skill to be able to change people from the prison. Qiao Yu knew about it, but he didn't stop him. His hands were not clean, so of course he wouldn't point it out.

He reaped the benefits and arrested Fang Yue and the man who took Fang Yue's life.

In Zhou Zhen's hands, he has never seen a living person who did not speak.

Qiao Yu sat dignifiedly, gently blew on the tea, and took a sip.

He has a close friendship with Zhou Zhen. It was Zhou Zhen who nailed steel thorns into his leg back then. However, Zhou Zhen was too busy at the time, and there were too many members of the Ningyou party who needed to be interrogated. Even came here in person, and everything was done by Zhou Zhen's students. The students were not good at learning, less than four out of ten of Mr. Qiao Yu's legs, which made Qiao Yu's legs not so completely disabled.

This is the third day. I don't know if the person who planned this matter can sleep now?

The tea in his hand has run out of heat.

The servant girl saw that his face was pale and as cold as snow, and said, "Maidservant, can I change a cup for you?"

Qiao Yu shook his head, he was still holding the cup, he thought of something, and burst out laughing.

The first smile was like a spring moon, vivid and beautiful, adding a bit of vitality to the face that was too gorgeous to be real, making the servant girl blush.

It wasn't the first time Qiao Yu was looked at like this, and he didn't get annoyed, and said, "The tea is from Yuan Bi."

The maid was taken aback, obviously not realizing who Qiao Yu was talking about.

After finishing speaking, Qiao Yu felt regretful, not because he regretted revealing his identity as a tea delivery person, but because Yuan Zanbi rarely communicated with others, and almost no one called the word Bi except Qiao Yu. It's like her maiden name. Before she got married, her family knew it. After she got married, only her husband called her Yuan Bi. He used to call her Yuan Bi with a soft voice, but he gave up after seeing the other party's resignation. I haven't seen her for a few years, and the title is indeed quite unfamiliar. It's closer now.

Seeing him, the maid seemed a little unhappy, and said in a hurry, "Master Yuan is so kind to you." How did she know who this Master Yuan was?I can't tell whether it's Yuan or Yuan, I just follow Qiao Yu's words.

Qiao Yu didn't raise her eyes, and said, "Yes."

The maid let out a sigh of relief.

If you can hide the Yuanzan pen, it will be like a boudoir name, and no one can call it except him.

But it's a pity, no matter how you look at it, he is the one who might be hidden.

Zhou Zhen came immediately after receiving the letter.

Qiao Yu was still drinking tea leisurely when he heard footsteps, and he didn't put down his teacup until the passer-by said: "My lord, Master Zhou is here."

Zhou Zhen was damp, and the attendant still held a closed umbrella in his hand.

"It's raining?" Or else he was so distracted, he didn't even know what was going on outside, "It's just right, pour tea for Mr. Zhou and drink it warm."

Zhou Zhen said, "Thank you, Qiao Xiang."

Qiao Yu wondered, "Why are you here? I thought you would send someone here."

Zhou Zhen felt complicated and didn't know how to speak, so he had to say: "Qiao passed the letter, how dare you not come here in person."

Qiao Yu said casually: "You are busy with business, so you don't need to come over for such a trivial matter, or" he paused, "Master Zhou discovered something special?"

His name is Zhou Zhen, and he was just asking who took Fang Yue away, and whether there was any result of the interrogation, but Zhou Zhen came in person, thinking that if he couldn't find anything to plead guilty, or that person's identity was too special, Zhou Zhen didn't trust others .

Could it be the emperor?

Qiao Yu felt that his thoughts were ridiculous.

If the emperor finds a reason to pardon the Fang family, why bother, and only save Fang Yue, what does the emperor want Fang Yue to do?Does the emperor know Fang Yue?

The maid quickly poured tea.

After Zhou Zhen took a sip, he felt the fragrance was elegant and full of sweetness, but he really didn't want to drink tea right now, so when he was about to open his mouth, Qiao Yu asked, "How?"

"Qiao Xiang's tea is naturally the best."

Qiao Yu smiled and said casually, "It was sent by Mr. Yuan."

Zhou Zhen's heart skipped a beat, and his already sinking mood was unsinkable.

He has been in charge of the criminal law for many years, and he doesn't know how many dignitaries he has when interrogating prisoners. Naturally, besides the case, he can also ask many secrets that others don't know. Among them is about Qiao Yu. It is often made up and made up, but it is not completely false. For example, Qiao Yu's reaction in the quiet room was described in detail without any embellishment.

Zhou Zhen once saw Qiao Yu in the quiet room once, and saw a man who was hung up from a distance. His bones were still young and thin. Looking closely, there was no injury on his face, but there was no intact flesh on his body. Steel thorns were nailed into it. , the bones have been broken, and the legs are hanging limply. The young man has passed out, and there seems to be murmurs in his mouth.

He looked up and heard the voice like a hairpin pen.

Later, Yuan Zanbi wanted to bring Qiao Yu out even at the expense of destroying his own future. He thought that the two of them had been secretly in love for a long time, but what Qiao Yu told him later was not good for Yuan Zanbi.

Zhou Zhen thought he could see Qiao Yu's thoughts clearly.

The origin of today's cup of tea made Zhou even more uncomfortable.

Zhou Zhen said: "Ten thieves, except for the five who died on the spot, two of them committed suicide. The subordinates failed to stop them, and the remaining three did not open their mouths under severe torture. The subordinates had to use medicine."

Qiao Yu said: "I see, Mr. Zhou talked a little more than usual today."

Usually Zhou Zhen only talks about the results, so why would he say such irrelevant nonsense.

Zhou hesitated.

Qiao Yu couldn't tolerate any sand in his eyes. If he wants to tolerate sand, it's better to let him pick out his eyes. Maybe he can agree faster.

In addition, people are often demanding about their true love, and they don't allow the slightest deception, let alone a lunatic like Qiao Yu.

Qiao Yu said: "Could it be that Mr. Zhou, who is always in danger, will miss one day?"

Zhou Zhen said with difficulty: "Already, I have asked the person behind the scenes." He swallowed his words again, "These ten people have all served in the army."

Qiao Yu smiled and said, "Zhou Zhen, did you cut your tongue with your own knife?"

His tone was still soft, but Zhou was very surprised when he heard the coldness in it.

As long as Qiao Yu obeys, she won't listen to such perfunctory words.

Zhou Zhen said: "These ten people are all elites in the army, yes..." He bit the bullet, and said in one breath, facing Qiao Yu's half-smile eyes, "I have a very close relationship with Mr. Yuan."

Qiao Yu took a sip of tea and felt that the news was nothing, but why did the Yuan family get involved?Is there something else between Yuan and Fang that he doesn't know about their relationship?

"Since when did the elder elder get involved in military affairs? I've never heard of the truth." He glanced at Zhou Zhen and said, "Do you have anything else to say?"

Zhou Zhen lifted his robe and knelt down, kowtowed deeply, not daring to look into Qiao Yu's eyes, he said, "It's not my lord, yes, it's the hairpin pen, lord Yuan."

Something clicked.

Zhou didn't even raise his head. After many years of execution, he could already smell the smell of blood in the air.

The maidservant screamed, "My lord!"

Qiao Yu tilted his head and said, "Hush—" He seemed to be a little distressed, but there was a child-like blankness on his face, "Calm down, let Truth think about it."

Then the sound grew louder, as if something had broken.

The tea splashed on Qiao Yu's body. Fortunately, the water was already cold and did not burn him.

"Snapped."

Something fell in front of Zhou Zhen—a half-broken teacup.

The wound in Qiao Yu's hands was bloody and bloody, and there were a few pieces of broken porcelain. The wound was not too deep, but it was especially terrifying in this pair of flawless hands.

Zhou Zhen heard Qiao Yu's calm voice, "Master Zhou, get up, why are you kneeling when you have nothing to do, it looks like it's really scary."

But Hantan knew that he didn't have much strength after being injured. He could crush a porcelain cup. Apart from the extremely thin wall of the cup, the other thing was that Qiao Yu was extremely angry.

When had Hantan seen Qiao Yu become so angry?

Even when he was the most powerless, Qiao Yu could just sneer and say a few words, and it was over.

He usually shows his emotions but just acting on occasion, but today he can't control himself.

Qiao Yu didn't speak, and Han Tan didn't dare to ask someone to bandage him, so the atmosphere was frighteningly silent for a moment.

Qiao Yu smiled suddenly, and said quite complacently: "Master Zhou has experienced many battles, but the unexpected truth has a deterrent that makes Master Zhou frightened."

"Get up," he said again, "the tea is going to be cold."

……

The light in the study was on, and a tall silhouette appeared on the window.

Something chubby broke through the window paper and flew in.

Yuan Zan drew his sword subconsciously, and the sound of metal and jade touching each other was clear and crisp.

Two petals of jade beads fell to the feet of Yuan Zanbi.

It was originally a bead, but it was split in the middle just now, and the incision was extremely smooth.

Concentrated under the lamp, the two petals of broken jade are like two small moons.

Except for Qiao Yu, no one would be so reckless.

Yuan Zanbi put down his sword and walked out.

Sure enough, Qiao Yu was on top of the wall with a slingshot in his hand.

Just like a teenager, he just smiled at Yuan Zanbi unconsciously when he didn't want to see him.

Yuan Zanbi walked to the wall, and was about to speak when he saw Qiao Yu's left hand holding the slingshot wrapped in several circles of white gauze.

He stepped up to the wall neatly, stood beside Qiao Yu, and took his hand.

Obviously hurt.

The Yuanzan pen smelled the smell of medicine and blood, and the gauze had a tendency to ooze blood, probably because of too much force just now, and the wound was torn open.

Yuan Zan picked him up with ease, jumped off, and said, "Why did you get hurt?"

With Qiao Yu's identity and habits, there is nothing that can hurt him.

Qiao Yu raised her head and looked at Yuan Zanbi's face without blinking.

What a handsome and pure face, like the moon in autumn water, the spring of a high mountain, it seems that you can see through this person's thoughts with just one glance.

He laughed while examining it, and said, "I broke a teacup."

However, the moon in the water is finally a reflection, and the spring in the high mountain is extremely cold.

Look at this man, he looks so innocent, how can he deceive people like this?

Yuan Zanbi's expression was a little subtle, as if he wanted to say that he wanted to care about him, but in the end he just said: "You are such an adult, how could you be hurt by a teacup."

Qiao Yu reached out and stroked Shang Yuan Zanbi's face.

He didn't use force, it was so light that if it wasn't for the gauze in his hand, the Yuanzan pen wouldn't be able to feel Qiao Yu's touch at all.

The gauze scratched the lips, causing a slight itching.

Qiao Yu said: "Because I crushed the teacup." His hand touched Yuan Zanbi's eyebrows, "Guess," his tone was so sweet that Yuan Zanbi remembered the candy he ate when he was young, "Why?"
