Chapter 77 plot
Liu An still didn’t notice the eyes watching behind him, but unconsciously took a step closer, his pale face became even more blush, his eyes flashed, and he looked straight at her and said, “Ashu-Queen, what happened in Xindu earlier, I’ve heard that you… have been wronged. I know that your marriage to King Xiao was forced, if you can’t continue, but… come and find me, I, I will definitely help you!”
When Ah Shu heard the words, she couldn’t help frowning, and her gentle complexion also faded a lot. Just as she was about to speak, she saw that Liu Yu had already walked up to her, blocked her from behind, and said to Liu An mercilessly: “Prince, why? Did you say this? Didn’t my wife tell the crown prince? The marriage between the two of us was originally her willingness to ask to marry me.”
Liu An was shocked, and his eyes were still fixed on Ah Shu, as if waiting for her to deny it.
Liu Xiu also raised his eyebrows and looked at A Shu, his face was calm, but a bit of anxiety was hidden in his dark eyes.
Ah Shu did not look at Liu An, but lowered her eyes and said, “It was indeed me who persuaded Brother A to agree to marry me to the king.”
As soon as these words came out, Liu An’s complexion suddenly turned pale, his eyebrows were furrowed, and he muttered: “How could it be? I heard that it is clearly not the case…”
Liu Yuzhong moved again, completely covering Ashu behind him, and pointed his lips: “I don’t know why the prince listened to the rumors. I know that when the prince was young, he had several encounters with Zhao Ji, but then Now that Zhao Ji is my queen, it is inconvenient for the prince to worry about her affairs.”
The words “Fate of Several Faces” made Liu An feel particularly harsh.
The blush that he had just produced due to excitement disappeared completely, his pale face was slightly tense, his lips were squirming for a moment, and he finally said nothing, nodded lightly: “I am overstepping.”
After all, leave in a hurry.
The servants around him seemed to notice the stagnant atmosphere, and they all lowered their eyes and bowed to retreat. For a moment, only A Shu and Liu Xiu were silent.
Liu Xiu seemed to take into account the gazes of others, Zhang Junrong was still calm, and without looking at Ah Shu, he pointed at the carriageway: “Get in the car and go back to the house.”
Ashu bit her lip and glanced at him. She took her skirt and stepped up the steps before sitting upright in the car, but seeing that he was not riding, she also got into the car and rushed to the servant outside: “Let’s go.”
For a moment, the carriage rumbled slowly and slowly, and there was silence in the carriage.
Liu Xiu seemed to be still a little unhappy. As soon as he got into the car, his face turned cold, and he didn’t say a word. He sat upright and closed his eyes.
At first, Ah Shu looked at him cautiously from time to time. Seeing that he was not moving, she gradually became relieved. She sat on the side of the car and watched the street scene outside the car through the tulle.
The carriage is still spacious, and the two of them can sit in it, and they can be clearly separated, with a half-arm distance in the middle.
The road is uneven, there are stones blocking the road, when the wheels pass, the body is unstable, and it sways from side to side. Because A Shu didn’t pay attention, one of them accidentally hit the wall of the car, and then fell to the other side, hitting Liu Yu’s arm.
In desperation, Ah Shu didn’t pay attention, let out a low cry, reached out her hand subconsciously, and tightly grasped the hem of Liu Yu’s clothes, trying to stabilize her figure.
Fortunately, there were only three or five pieces of gravel, but it was gone in an instant, and the return was stable.
Ah Shu breathed a sigh of relief, only to feel embarrassed. Fang blushed and let go of the fabric in his hand. Before he retracted back to the other side of the car, a long arm suddenly appeared on his waist. arms.
In his ear, Liu Yu’s low voice was quite gritted his teeth: “How can riding a carriage teach people not to be safe?”
The clothes were sticking to each other, and the hair was rubbing against the temples. Ashu raised her eyes to argue, but suddenly slammed into his dark and deep eyes. She was silent for a while, and at a loss, she reached out and pushed him away.
The blue veins on Liu Xiu’s forehead throbbed, and he grabbed her hands, shackled them in his palms, lowered his head and bit her earlobe, and kissed the skin on the side of the neck thinly.
Ah Shu’s body trembled slightly, and a layer of smoke gradually formed in her eyes, and the crimson on her white cheeks became more and more charming.
After a long while, Liu Yu finally loosened the shackles of her palms and gradually returned to his usual peaceful appearance. He buried his face in the crevice of her neck and said softly, “Every time you are angry, call me.” Your Majesty’.”
Ah Shu’s cheeks were hot, she panted lightly and said nothing.
Liu Xiu didn’t care, but felt that most of the depression that had been suppressed for a whole day seemed to be vented because of this moment of intimacy.
He put his hand on her chin and made her look up at him: “Child, do you have something to say to me?”
There was a faint hope in his eyes.
“I…” Ah Shu understood that he hoped that she would take a step back first, but he opened his mouth, but in the end he didn’t say anything.
Liu Yu’s eyes dimmed and he sighed: “Little boy, you have been married to me for more than two years, and you already know what kind of person I am. Outsiders all think that I am humble and merciful, even weak and unrighteous. For the sake of power and status, I am willing to marry the daughter of my enemy. , willing to be driven by the enemy. But don’t you know how much hatred I have in my heart? Why do you still use words like that to pierce my heart?”
Hearing that he managed to persuade him softly, Ashu couldn’t help but redden her eyes, backed up a little and choked: “The person who does evil is the Queen Mother, Her Majesty is young and has no authority at all, but because the Queen Mother herself was born, Fang was involved in right and wrong, and How am I different? Only I am fortunate enough to marry the king.”
Liu Xiu approached eagerly again, grabbed her hand, frowned and asked, “Would you like to marry me? As I said, no matter what, I will never teach you to get involved in this matter. What are you worried about?”
Ashu suddenly pulled her hand away: “What does Your Majesty think of me? Take advantage of my youth and beauty, when Israel serves others, I can still keep it, so I don’t want to hold grudges for a while, and when my love fades away, I can abandon it like nothing. Lu, do you want to revive the revenge of the past?”
She clearly understood that he was tolerant towards her not because he understood that Zhang Hou’s murder had nothing to do with his children. He just couldn’t bear to abandon her. How he hates Liu Xian at this time, how will he hate her in the future when the love is no longer there.
“You don’t believe me?” Liu Xiu was stunned for a moment, and then his heart felt suffocated and weak.
“I believe in Your Majesty, and I will never go back on what I promised.” A Shu took a deep breath, the tears in her eyes never falling, “But I also have to learn to be sober and not dare to indulge myself in the mercy of Your Majesty, from now on I think that kindness will never fade away.”
Liu Xiu’s face turned cold, his dark eyes gradually filled with disappointment, his emotions were complicated, and there was a faint colic: “When you married me, it was only 28 years old, and just got married, how can you be so cold-hearted?”
He hurriedly turned his eyes away, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth: “You are indeed beautiful, which makes me addicted. In the world, there are many people who covet your beauty, and there are many heroes in the world. If anyone wants to keep your family safe, I will serve you again. That younger brother will continue to be the emperor, will you also convince your elder brother to marry that person from now on?
As soon as these words came out, Ah Shu’s face turned pale, she looked at him with concern, and murmured: “If I am like this, what is the difference between what the Queen Mother did back then?”
After Zhang Hou married her father as his successor, she suddenly ran back to her parents’ home and entered the Prince Liang’s mansion as a concubine.
The smile on Liu Xiu’s lips became colder, and his deep and handsome face was no longer half a gentleman’s warmth: “She was born of her, blood is thicker than water, and her temperament is not unpredictable. It’s a pity that I am not someone you can control at will. If I have the ability to take revenge, I will never make your cowardly and incompetent brother the emperor again.”
After saying that, ignoring her pale face and rustling tears, she shouted “stop”, got out of the car, and drove away.
The curtain of the car was lifted and lowered, bringing out a breeze, which was engulfed in the fragrance of the fragrant flowers and trees on the side of the road. Before long, Liu Yu’s figure had disappeared at the end of the street. The servant who was driving saw that the two seemed to be at odds. Beside the car, he asked carefully, “Queen, can you still go back to the manor?”
In the car, Ah Shuku took a long time to regain his senses, wiped away the tears on his face, sat up again, and said softly, “Return to the house”.
When they arrived at the mansion, Queer followed by her side, looking at her pale face from time to time with worry, she even thought that her hands and feet were weak and she was about to fall down.
After walking and stopping like this, it took a while to get to the bedroom.
Que’er was helpless, so she made the bedcloth for her, and after taking a closer look at her expression, she confirmed that she was fine, Fang advised: “Ashu, don’t be sad, the king has been treating Ashu so well before, and after two days, his anger subsided, No matter how kind words you can persuade, you will be able to get back together.”
After the calm moment just now, Ah Shu has recovered a lot at this moment, and she looks blankly at the courtyard after hearing this.
The messy grass and trees that had been chopped off by Liu Xiu’s sword yesterday were cleaned up by the servants before the two of them could see it, and there was no trace of it left.
She sighed lightly, her stiff face gradually became more vivid, she chuckled lightly, and said, “Forget it, sooner or later, this will have to happen.”
It’s still early, but looking at Liu Xiu’s appearance today, he doesn’t know when he will return. Nothing happened for a while, she took out the needle and thread again, just like yesterday, sitting under the porch, and the maids continued to make the sachet with the outline embroidered.
It was not until dusk that she put down her needle and thread, and after using food, she took a walk in the courtyard to digest her food, and then went into the house to look for clothes.
The day after tomorrow, Empress Zhang and the Young Emperor will hold a banquet in the Weiyang Palace, and invite the princes who have entered the court this time to come together. Although they emphasize the etiquette of connoisseurs, they should still enter in court clothes.
The clothes were changed frequently in the past two days, and the starch could not be washed in time. Fortunately, I had two more clothes.
As usual, Ah Shu hangs the clothes for Liu Yu first, and then takes out his own and puts it by the wall, to be smoked tomorrow.
When the moon was in the middle of the sky, Liu Yu had not returned, she no longer waited, and went to sleep after turning off the lights.
…
However, he said that after Liu Yu left in the carriage, he went straight to the post station, looking for Guo Qu, Liu Ji and other ministers to discuss.
All the officials knew that Liu Yu entered the temple to worship today, and was about to enter the Da Situ Mansion for business in person in the evening.
Several confidants were on duty outside the house, while Liu Ji and Guo Qu entered the house.
“Do you have any eyebrows?” Liu Yu entered and went straight to the point. Yesterday, although there was a quarrel with Ah Shu, he was not affected at all in business affairs. Knowing that Geng Yun wanted to do something wrong, he had to prepare early.
Guo Quxian and Liu Ji looked at each other, stepped forward and said in a low voice: “I have a clue. There are rumors that Da Sima has divination several times. Although he doesn’t know what the divination is, he should have obtained a good prophecy. After that, he repeatedly disagreed with the Queen Mother, and used the excuse to suppress many confidants who were loyal to the Queen Mother.”
Liu Yu frowned and thought about it. He could probably guess what Geng Yun was occupying. He nodded and said, “As expected, the two have parted ways.”
Liu Ji continued: “There is one more thing. Recently, Da Sima has been in close private contact with Yulin Zhonglang Wu Mao. They had secret talks for nearly an hour last night. This morning, the guards in the palace have been transferred a few times.”
Liu Yu froze when he heard the words, his eyes narrowed, and he sneered: “It seems that I can’t hold back anymore, and I want to start. The next day’s palace banquet will be a good opportunity.”
Guo Qu and Liu Ji seemed to have guessed it, but they were not as calm as he was, and they both asked solemnly, “Does your majesty have plans? This is Chang’an, and your majesty is accompanied by only a thousand people, and most of them are still stationed outside the city. I’m afraid that far water will not be able to get close to fire.”
Liu Xiu didn’t see any anxiety at all, he just smiled and said: “At that time, as long as he grasps Geng Yun’s weakness, he won’t dare to touch me. You don’t need to worry, I have my own calculations.”
Guo Qu and Liu Ji thought that he was still looking for rescue soldiers, but they saw that he had no more orders. Although they were still worried, they were still very convinced.
After some negotiation, it is already evening.
Liu Yu looked at the two of them and said with a smile, “Chang’an here, I can’t imagine that it would be so quick to investigate.”
Guo Qu smiled and said: “I dare not ask for credit, this is also thanks to the few ranger swordsmen brought by the queen from Handan. They are better than ministers and other people in the city. .”
The two of them still didn’t know it, and they couldn’t stop praising them, but when Liu Yu heard the word “queen”, their faces turned cold.
