Imperial Favour - Chapter 43

As soon as the price of thirty thousand taels came out, the huge auction floor was quiet, and many people thought they were listening.

Although the clouds in Xijiang are surging, most of the local people are not aware of it. Most of the wealthy businessmen sitting here have no net worth of thirty thousand taels. Naturally, they were caught off guard by this number.

But there were also sensitive minds who recovered and gave up bidding decisively. Merchants are highly profitable, but it also depends on what the situation is. They are all human beings, and naturally they can understand the situation.

Such an object, even if it was bought with all his belongings, would not be able to protect it, and it would be impossible to lose his life for it.

not worth it!

Let the gods in the upper compartment fight, and they will wait and see other things.

Think of it as going out to watch the excitement and open your eyes.

But the people in the upper row of private rooms were shocked by this number, and no one made a sound for a long time.

It wasn’t until the people at the auction house below were blushing to ask for the last question, the quotation came from the private room opposite Tang Zhuozuo.

“Forty-five thousand taels!”

The king of Nanping stood in the private room terribly surprised, but it was a broken sword that stained the blood of the barbarians in Mobei. How could it be worth such a high price? !

If it were the usual time, he would find it too smelly when such a sword was placed in front of him. Now he has to buy half of his family’s property. The feeling in his heart is unspeakable. A maroon red face is faintly green, even Zhu Lu is also ruthless. Frowning, said: “Father, what does this highness mean? Did you look at this sword too?”

It would be okay if he used to ask this question, but at this time, the Nanping King felt so frustrated that he was angry when he looked at him and almost screamed.

“Idiot! How many of the people who came here today were not for this sword? Do you think the prince came to buy a bottle of pills for health and tea? How come I have such a stupid descendant as you?!” Nanping Wang Speaking of sighing at the end, I really feel that the future of the palace is extremely worrying.

Zhu Lu didn’t feel anything when he got used to being scolded. He just frowned and asked the doubts in his heart, “Is this sword really so important? The emperor casually mentioned it, maybe he didn’t take it seriously.”

This is not unreasonable. The emperor’s joy and anger are invisible, true or false, false or true, and the things they really like are often unpredictable. Why should they go to Xijiang because of such a sentence? ?

Zhu Lu is puzzled.

The king of Nanping grabbed the tea cup on the side and drank a few mouthfuls. He sneered at the most inconspicuous corner diagonally across from him: “The emperor mentions it again and again. It is such a critical juncture. Who doesn’t understand what it means? It is precious because it has inherited the will of Mobeihou, this is another war!”

Zhu Lu suddenly widened his eyes. His throat suddenly became dry and hoarse, and said, “Then…what did you do with this sword?”

On the battlefield?

“It’s just to show the emperor the position and determination of Nanping Palace. In recent years, your majesty has been more and more neglecting us.”

The Nanping King’s eyes were a little deep, and then he sighed: “Take this sword to the emperor and ask the emperor to go to Mobei. Even if I die, the palace will be safe and prosperous for the rest of my life. If I refuse to allow it, at least I will leave a good impression on your Majesty.”

Zhu Luhuo stood up and lost his voice: “Are you going to ask for a fight?”

Nanping Wang glanced at him quietly, and drew in a low voice, “Don’t worry, there will be no chaos this day.”

There was constant friction between Mobei and the barbarians, but it was just a small fight, and listening to the news from the front, the Mobei royal family still has the intention of marriage, and this battle cannot be fought.

It is precisely because of this that this sword must be obtained.

What a great opportunity to show loyalty without risk.

Only then did Zhu Lu slow down, and follow the direction of King Nanping’s fingers to look at the smallest private room, and ask: “The people here haven’t shown up from beginning to end. What clues did the father see?”

The King of Nanping sneered, looked at Zhu Lu with knives in his eyes, stroked his sleeves, and said, “Who else can be besides your good brother Wang Yi?”

Zhu Lu didn’t even think about it, but subconsciously retorted: “Impossible, Wang Yi has been dismissed from his post in the court, and his marriage with the second daughter of Ningyuan Houfu is also approaching. How could he come to Xijiang?”

The king of Nanping retracted his gaze, turned to look at the private room directly opposite them, and snorted coldly, “Contact these friends, friends, I will break your leg.”

Zhu Lu frowned fiercely, before he was about to speak, he was intercepted by the Nanping King. He said: “Wang Yi and the general mansion have joined the Sixth Princes faction. Now the official is restored to his post. This time he will be the Sixth Prince. The errands are coming.”

He turned around and patted Zhu Lu’s shoulder meaningfully: “If he really treats you as a brother, why can’t you hear the wind?”

“Our palace is in the prince’s camp, the contradiction between the prince and the sixth prince, don’t I need to explain too much?”

Zhu Lu’s complexion was difficult to distinguish, and his eyes flickered and nodded after a while.

He naturally distinguished between the lighter and the heavier.

It’s just that I still don’t believe it very much in my heart. After all, this is just a statement from Nanping King, and it is not overnight that he does not like Wang Yi.

Looking at his expression, the king of Nanping could finally relax a little, and sighed in his heart.

At this time, Tang Zhuozuo also heard the price opened by the Nanping Palace, smiled happily for a while, and touched a piece of icy jade. The head of the jade was nothing but ordinary things.

Huo Qiu’s previously closed eyes slowly opened, and his voice was uncontrollable low and hoarse. He lifted a strand of black hair in her ear, and leaned behind her snow-white ears and whispered: “Jiaojiao is so uneasy, could it? Do you really think that the lonely dare not move you here?”

The more she played with her, the more her face became, the more she became less and less clean, and she was tossed like this, and no one could help.

In front of her was her agile and charming, full-fledged appearance, but the candlelight in the night was surging in her mind. The woman was icy muscles and bones, her black hair was loose as ink, and her waist was slender and charming. Just thinking about it, a man could breathe. Choked for a moment.

Tang Zhuozhuo raised the corner of his eyes and smiled, staring at the man’s handsome face for a long time, and then almost provocatively hooked the man’s stern jaw, angrily, “His Royal Highness abides by the etiquette most, and definitely can’t do such a thing. Come.”

Her proud little appearance became more and more attractive, and she kept complimenting him on her lips, which was actually admonishing him to guard the face of the prince, so that he would not mess around in such a place.

His Royal Highness, who was secretly teased by flattery, curled his lips, his eyes were so dark as ink, and even the scene of the outside bidding was out of sight. If you don’t clean up this loosing woman today, in the future Couldn’t she let her arrogantly mock his husband’s failure?

Tang Zhuozhuo didn’t finish speaking, when the smile in the man’s eyes turned dark, she felt something wrong.

Huo Qiu completely understood her psychology, turned her fingers around, with a slight hoarseness in her voice, mellow and cold, and waved his sleeves: “Go down.”

Li Desheng was taken aback for a moment, and then he gave a look. The maids who were waiting inside all filed out, and he hesitated for a while before closing the door and guarding outside.

Tang Zhuozhuo’s beautiful eyes turned, but he couldn’t get rid of the shackles of his palm, realizing that this man was not pretending to scare her, and immediately withdrew the smile on his face, biting his lower lip and begging pitifully, “Your Highness, Concubine will never make trouble again.”

Huo Qiujian raised his eyebrows slightly, and the slender index finger stroked the charming flower in the corner of her eye, and said, “Jiaojiao admits her mistake at this time, don’t you think it’s too late?”

“His Royal Highness…”

She just said something. The light green hibiscus-embroidered clothes were all disconnected from the shoulders. She didn’t even have time to react, and her arms suddenly felt cold.

Tang Zhuozuo exclaimed, and quickly reduced his arrogant appearance, even breathing slowly, Huo Qiu met her inexplicably horrified eyes, and slowly hugged her up.

I thought that this woman was not afraid of the heavens and was not afraid, and she was accustomed to arbitrarily flirting, because she was such a bullying and fearful temperament.

Tang Zhuozhuo’s eyelashes trembled, fearing that the man would really clean up her here, his chin was knocked on his shoulder, and the cat whispered like a cat.

If she is here to clean up this man, how can she face out of this door?

“His concubine, my concubine is wrong, and I don’t dare anymore.” Tang Zhuozhuo’s eyes turned around, and then he took out his usual tricks, pinching a piece of clothing on his cuffs and said: “The concubine also picked up a piece of wood core for His Royal Highness. Is that to the concubine?”

Huo Qiu laughed twice, Tang Zhuozuo could reach the hot temperature of his body through the clothes, but she glared at him recklessly, dissatisfied.

He laughed silently and was solemn.

“It’s all people outside, for fear of harming your wiseness.” She uttered in a very low voice, her face was red, and Huo Qiu’s faint smile filled her eyes, and hugged her onto the reclining chair. When I sit down, my body becomes a little tight, and I don’t look at this wanton thing again.

Outside was the meeting place with hundreds of people sitting, and there were even hurried footsteps in the corridor. Tang Zhuozuo finally calmed down at this time, predicting that this man would not move her.

After all, the world knows that His Royal Highness abides by the rules of etiquette and is a role model for the Otsu imperial family. All the people sitting outside are his subjects. If what we do today is to get some well-informed people to go, wouldn’t it mean that His Royal Highness will be destroyed?

With this man’s arrogance, he didn’t need to think about it, he couldn’t do such a thing.

Sure enough, Huo Qiu just stroked her delicate face and smiled deeply, pinning her broken hair from the sideburns to her ears, and her voice was a little helpless: “You are the most unconscionable. solitary?”

Tang Zhuozhuo smiled so complacently. He picked up the neat women’s clothes with his bare hands. After wearing them carefully, he learned how to do it. He pulled Huo Qiu’s black hair loop on his fingers, and said: “The concubine is used to being a conscientious person. , Your Highness, come to scare your concubine if you don’t get it.”

Huo Qiu heard the meaning of her words and smiled with anger, his expression could not argue with her, “Is Jiaojiao blaming Gu?”

Tang Zhuozhuo smiled without answering, the meaning in his apricot eyes was clear.

It’s too much to clean up!

Tang Zhuozuo also knows the reason to accept it when he sees it, but after experiencing this, she can’t listen to a word in the external auction auction. It was a little lacking when she came out like this.

“But tired? Hold you back to the hospital alone?”

Tang Zhuozuo snorted softly from his nose, and stretched out two thin white arms for him to hug. Huo Qiu felt that this trip was not wronged, and then he hugged her sideways and put a veil on her again. All the customs are covered.

Li Desheng saw that the master son came out holding the princess in this way, he didn’t dare to look again, but silently followed behind to remind: “Master, shall we not participate in the auction later?”

Huo Qiu nodded, holding Tang Zhuozuo and strode onto the carriage.

Li Desheng hurriedly ordered the people to put the thousand-year wood core in the jade box, and carried it back to the house.

This is a rare treasure, and it can’t tolerate the slightest mistake.

But at this moment, a person came out from the obliquely opposite private room, dressed in a gentle white suit, completely like a jade boy. After seeing this scene, both of them had disappeared before their eyes.

His face was a little unnaturally and hideously twisted, and his slender index finger was clenched into a fist. It is not surprising that Huo Qiu appeared here, but who is the woman who is snuggling in his arms and holding his neck obediently?

Tang Zhuozuo’s extremely charming face flashed subconsciously in his mind, and he was vetoed immediately by himself, impossible. How could Concubine Donggong come to such a place?

But besides Tang Zhuozuo, who else can get close to Huo Qiu like that?

Someone came over behind him to report: “General Wang, there is news from His Highness Six.”

Wang Yi’s face trembled for a while, and he became like a jade in front of others, and asked with a pleasant tone, “What’s the matter?”

The man uttered a word in his ear, and then said: “His Royal Highness gives an urgent order, I hope the general will not delay, and we must start to act in the near future.”

Wang Yi’s eyes burst with light, and he took a deep breath, his fists were shaking a little. How could he delay such a thing?

After waiting so many days, Huo Qi is finally about to attack the Prince!

He can finally take revenge, take away his wife’s hatred, make him a laughing stock of others and even exile him. He has experienced such great ups and downs and hated Huo Qiu long ago.

When he thought of this, he thought of just a quick glance, the corners of the woman’s pale blue skirt moved slightly, and Wang Yi suppressed the breath in his heart.

If this happens, His Highness Six will be in the Ninth Five-Year Plan. When he was an extremely human minister, for the Tang family’s sake, he could not keep the lives of other people, but Tang Zhuozhuo still had a female stream. The method is saved.

As long as she obediently served him well, he wouldn’t begrudge the name of a concubine, after all, he had also missed her seductive figure.

Thinking about this, Wang Yi laughed Shen Shen with his hands, and his opponent said: “Send Yingquan Sword back to the Sixth Prince’s Mansion overnight, and send more elite soldiers to make no mistake.”

She had a thin face in the corridor before, and Tang Zhuozhuo was afraid of being recognized, and buried her head in Huo Qiu’s chest all the way. Only then did she dare to show her face slightly.

The man returned to his indifferent and alienated posture, with no trace of the paranoia he had just been in the private room. Tang Zhuozhuo glanced at him as if he did not, and took a sip of tea to moisturize his throat.

But that’s the case, there is still a trace of undissipated fatigue in her voice, “Who can shoot that sword?”

Huo Qiu raised his eyebrows, turned the jade fingers on his thumbs, and replied calmly, “Where can I still want to observe those?”

She is by her side, how can he calm down?

He turned his eyes around her and said: “But it should be Huo Qi’s ability to go.”

He really lost control just now. The little woman is already in a bad shape, and she doesn’t know if she has a cold?

Originally, I only wanted to scare such an arrogant and domineering woman, but when the clothes faded, the first person who couldn’t help but almost couldn’t get it back was me.

His Royal Highness, who had always been cold, noble and not close to female, was a little unnatural, frowning and coughing slightly.

Tang Zhuozuo’s delicate eyebrows wrinkled tightly, and he subconsciously asked, “Here is the Sixth Prince?”

Thinking of Huo Qi’s poisoning of Huo Qiu, Tang Zhuozuo was disgusted with this person. People with unhealthy minds even ascended to the throne are also inhumane.

Huo Qiu’s complexion was gloomy, his gaze fell on her Yanxiu’s face, he shook his head and said, “It’s not him.”

Tang Zhuozuo vaguely saw something in his face, and his heart trembled, and he saw Huo Qiu rubbing her black whirlpool, and said: “It’s Wang Yi.”

His eyes were as sharp as an eagle hunting in the desert, Tang Zhuozhuo’s body was stiffened for a moment, and he saw his face sinking slightly.

“The General’s Mansion… isn’t it standing in your Highness’s camp?” Tang Zhuozuo didn’t have much expression, but he felt a little surprised.

Huo Qiu withdrew his hand and threw the string of Buddhist beads in his hand on the small table in the carriage, with a cold tone, “has become a traitor.”

Tang Zhuozuo took a breath of succinct and ordinary words.

According to this meaning, Wang Yi has always been a secret move of the Sixth Prince Huo Qi? So is the rebellion in the previous life deliberate or temporary?

Think about it carefully, how did a general who had no real power in his exiled guardian mausoleum manage to gather a few forces to become king in one night?

Tang Zhuozuo couldn’t find the right words to say for a while, but Huo Qiu’s expression was indefensible, and he turned his head and asked, “Reluctant?”

His words were sharp and sharp, Tang Zhuozhuo’s beautiful eyes gleamed, and he smiled and said, “Naturally reluctant.”

Huo Qiu’s body stiffened slightly, and his eyes were filled with heavy anger.

Tang Zhuozhuo endured the pain in his waist, looked down at his nails as usual, then raised his eyes and asked, “That person is as disgusting as a fly because of his wronged mind, so the concubine is naturally reluctant to discuss matters with Mr. Liu until dawn. .”

Huo Qiu couldn’t think of her answer. After a while, he smiled slowly, and the spirit of Ling Ling disappeared. He held Tang Zhuozhuo’s delicate cheeks, and nodded slightly: “The lonely charming and charming teeth, lonely and very pleased.”

Tang Zhuozhuo covered her lips and yawned. He clasped the veil into a ball in the palm of his hand, and fell into the man’s arms, squeamishly: “The concubine is sleepy.” She tilted her head and rubbed her head and said, “On her body. It’s sour and it hurts. Your Royal Highness rubbed it.”

Huo Qiu squeezed her arms and legs, which made her grunt comfortably.

Huo Qiu slowly closed his eyes, forcing himself not to think about the messy things, but those pictures lingered in front of him.

At least she is the person in her heart today, but now that Wang Yi is with Xijiang, does she really have no memories in her heart?

Theirs used to be a sharp thorn in his heart, but during this time the woman has smoothed the thorn, and at first glance it has been pulled out, but now it is clear that the thorn is still stuck in his heart. The throat is unforgettable.

Huo Qiu has always been calm and self-sufficient, and now there is a hint of confusion in his mind. He pursed his lips, stroked her broken hair, and said, “Gu suddenly regrets bringing you.”

But if she stays in Kyoto…

Then I am afraid that there is no warmth at this moment.

Tang Zhuozuo naturally understood what the man was thinking, but if he was to argue at this time, and there was no silver in this place, he would definitely not believe it.

She rolled up the wide sleeves with stitches and meticulously embroidered begonias, her tone was still soft with stars, and she clicked on his chest, and said, “I know that your concubine wants to leave her concubine in the East Palace alone. Come out happily and run into a beautiful woman.”

“You have no conscience.”

Huo Qiu’s heart is slightly warm, and her eyes are sharp as arrows.

Since you dare to come, you must be prepared to be chopped off! His woman, absolutely unable to tolerate foreign men half-thinking, is engraved with her own brand all over her body, whether he lives or die is his righteous prince and concubine!

Life is the same, but death is the same point. It should be like this.

Halfway through the carriage, a child in ragged clothes suddenly rushed out halfway, and he felt so thin that he was less than ten years old.

But it was here to beg for food, and it looked like he was too hungry.

Huo Qiu’s face sank, he picked up the curtain and asked in a deep voice, “What’s the matter?”

Li Desheng leaned over, “His Royal Highness, a child begging for food, the servant just gave me some coarse grains. In return, he had to give His Royal Highness a hand-made straw ring bracelet.”

Huo Qiu didn’t take it to heart, he didn’t open his eyes after a rough glance. Just a few words: “Go and tell the county guard, is it time to open the warehouse and do porridge?”

Tang Zhuozuo asked: “The county guard in Xijiang is surnamed Mu?”

Huo Qiu thought she had already guessed something and didn’t hide it, frowning and said: “Exactly, but also a villain who tends to be inflamed, incompetent.”
