Love Like the Galaxy - Chapter 154

    The feast was over, the King of the East Sea personally helped the Queen Mother to go back to rest, the five princesses led the way, and the prince recited a hundred times silently with a stern face ‘Only women and villains are hard to feed, and they will eat when they are full. Love the East, the West is short, Luo Jitong wanted to wait for Huo Budo to go together, but who knew that the wind was blowing under Huo Buxuan’s feet, and the people disappeared in the blink of an eye, and the rest of the melon eaters left very unhappy.

      A bowl of food, cleaning up the filth left by cooking mountains and seas… After instructing one place to go to the next, she almost bumped into someone when she turned a corner under the porch.

    Huo Budo stood in front of her and looked at her fixedly.

    Shao Shang silently took a small step back: “What are you doing?”

    Huo Budo bent his slender fingers and gently stroked the pattern on the pillar: “…you walk with me two steps – there is no palace to the north of Yong’an Palace, and no one walks around in the afternoon. , no one will see you and me together.”

    Shao Shang hesitated for a moment, looked up at his long, deep eyes, and said softly, “Okay.”

    Beijing Palace was built by the uncle of the emperor in the past ten years. The court used money everywhere, so the many ideas of the palace group are still only on the drawings, and many places are just primitive forests, hills, rocks, slopes and streams. .

    The two walked silently along a long clump of colorful flowers, with unknown wild flowers blooming on the branches, because no one took care of the garden, they greeted the spring and Rain and dew grow wildly without restraint.

    The sun tilted in the afternoon, the light golden thread fell on Huo Busu’s face, and there was a kind of handsomeness between the eyes. It was March in the spring, and today he was rarely dressed in a light fur and slack, with a graceful appearance.

    Shao Shang didn’t want to spend more time with him, seeing that there was no one left or right, he was the first to speak: “Master Huo…”

    Huo Buhuo chuckled lightly: “You always called me Lord Ling before, I have said all the good things, you only said that you will call me Zisheng after marriage.”

    “…Why don’t I call you Gao Yonghou as my concubine?” Shaoshang sternly.

    Huo Budo ignored her provocation and continued to ask: “What do you call him when you and Yuan Shizhong are together every day, is it Master Yuan?”

    Shao Shang said displeased: “What does Mr. Huo ask about so many things about other people’s couples?”

    Huo Budo stopped and looked at her sideways, his eyes were deep and intense, but his voice collided like a stone: “…Shao Shang, you know my temper. I If I want to make troubles, I will make troubles. If I don’t plan to let it go, I won’t take this point of MG’s authority in my eyes, no matter how hard I fight to the end—now I want to let you go, just talk to me well .”

    Shao Shang originally wanted to retort, but remembering his determination to be polite and not complaining, he held back his anger: “Then I would like to thank Mr. Huo for letting me go – Yuan Shen and I are in daily life. How about calling him ‘Yuan Shanjian’ or ‘A Shen’ when we are in one place?”

    Huo Budo didn’t say anything, and continued to pace forward, Shaoshang had no choice but to follow.

    “In the past five years, how have you been?” Huo Budo said as he walked.

    Shao Shang said sarcastically: “Thanks to your blessing, I accompany the empress to eat and drink in Yongan Palace, and I was not bullied! Ouch…what are you doing…!”

    Huo Budo suddenly clasped her wrist, his palms were hot, and his eyes were deep: “Are you really going to marry Yuan Shen?”

    Shao Shang struggled as if he had been scalded: “Yes! I have the same interests as him, and everything is negotiable; and the Yuan family has a great business, we will stop arguing and marry him. It couldn’t be better! Ehh…you let go!”

    “You’re right.” Huo Budo slowly released his palm, “Yuan is a very good family, Yuan Shen is calm and resourceful, diligent and meticulous, and can be a good match. Looking at it vertically, this is a good marriage.”

    Shao Shang rubbed his wrist and said bitterly, “You know it!”

    “I got into a big disaster that year, and you cleared the Huo family’s grievances for me in front of His Majesty and other ministers. I have never thanked you.” Huo Budo said, “I underestimated the Chunyu clan, No one would have thought that she actually had evidence in her hands.”

    “Anyway, I have to thank you. If you have orders in the future, I will do my best to do it for you.” Huo Budo looked at her sideways.

    Shao Shang couldn’t help sneering again and again: “I don’t dare to do it. In the future, Mr. Huo should not threaten and scare me. How dare you bother…”

    “Alright then, I’ll thank you verbally a few times, so you don’t have to.” Huo Budo raised his long eyebrows.

    “Wait!” Shao Shang took a deep breath.

    She really wanted to scold her back, let Huo Budo die as far away as possible, and ask her to marry her with peace of mind; but at the same time she is also a real person, with a long life, ten thousand There will be difficulties in the future, do you need help from others?

    “A few things?” Shaoshang asked again.

    “How many.” Huo was puzzled.

    Huo Budo smiled slightly and said, “As long as I live, no matter what difficulties you have, I will solve them for you. This sentence will work in this life.”

    Shao Shang was startled and looked up at him blankly.

    “In short, I hope your life will be smooth and trouble-free, happy and worry-free.” Huo Budo said word by word, a ray of golden light flashed across the bridge of his towering nose, like the golden light enshrined in a high hall. Shape the gods.

    “This is inappropriate.” Shaoshang bowed his head, “You will have a wife and children in the future, so you have to take care of many people. Three things, just do three things for me.”

      Been working for my ex.

    “Don’t worry about this, I will arrange it properly.” Huo Budo put his hands on his back and raised his steps again.

    Shao Shang looked at his desolate back with mixed feelings.

    Thinking of something, she quickly caught up with a few steps: “Hey, let me tell you, it’s a good thing for you to start a family and start a business, but I don’t think Luo Jitong is very appropriate, and you need to think more! It’s not here! The northwest is bitter and cold, you can choose the famous ladies in the capital slowly… Don’t laugh, I’m not jealous! Well, I won’t talk about it!”

    Huo Buu couldn’t help but chuckle, just as he was about to say more, he caught a glimpse of an old plum tree in front of him that was hugged by three or four people and turned out one person, it was Yuan Shen.

    Shao Shang was stunned for a moment, then waved his hand to the front.

    Huo Budo’s smile faded and stopped: “Let’s just go here, … see you later.”

    “Oh, good.” Shaoshang didn’t have time to think deeply, so he could only answer.

    The two walked away, one ran towards the old plum tree in front, and the other went in the other direction. The dense flower trees dropped their fluttering petals and spread them evenly on the ground. Only after people walked, they would step on a dark trace.

    Huo Budo was walking, but he couldn’t help but turn his head, only to see that the two of them walked further and further, and the dark soil traces on the ground just formed a huge ‘ya’ character. Looking at the word ‘ya’, his heart ached sharply—he and she had parted ways after all.

    He hurriedly walked away, unable to restrain himself from looking at the two people under the plum tree.

    Shao Shang ran for a few steps and stepped forward: “Why are you here.”

    Yuan Shen lightly patted the plum on himself, and said slowly, “Wait for the two of you.”

    Shao Shang’s mind flashed, and he immediately said: “This is what you and Mr. Huo said at the banquet?”

    Yuan Shen frowned: “He said he wanted to talk to you, and then, as he said to you, ‘the past is with the wind’ – have you all agreed?” His eyes moved away Stay away from that tall man.

    “It’s all said and done.” Shaoshang waved his hand briskly, “Not only did the past go with the wind, but to thank me for clarifying the case for the Huo family back then, he also promised to help me with a few things in the future. “

    Yuan Shen let out a weak sigh of relief: “I just hope so, I’ve been frightened and frightened these days, I’m afraid that something will happen to him and delay our marriage. It doesn’t matter if we do or not, as long as Huo Buxuan is willing to give up, everything is easy to say.”

    “It really doesn’t matter?!” Shaoshang put his face close and said deliberately, “The so-called people can’t help themselves in the arena, you can think about it, this long life in the future, really, absolutely, Don’t you need Huo Buxuan’s help?!”

    Yuan Shenxiu’s long eyes stared: “No! Definitely not!”

    “Have ambition!” Shaoshang narrowed his eyes, “However, I need it!”

    “You have a good chance!” Yuan Shen hated that iron could not become steel.

    Shao Shang smiled and said, “The two of us, as long as you have a future, I’d better take care of some benefits.”

    Listening to the girl casually saying ‘the two of us’, Yuan Shen’s heart was as happy as a clear spring.

    He smiled: “Okay, you can do whatever you want.”

    Shao Shang saw him smiling happily and thought, this time things will never change again.

    From now on, she continued to serve the Queen Mother Xuan in Yongan Palace. Yuan Shen went home and asked her father to find someone to account for the marriage date. , and then go to Yong’an Palace for a snack, it is also a good time.

    Unfortunately, young merchants are born unlucky, and life is like a mudslide, and no one knows what will pour down inside. People do what they want, but she does what she wants. After only seven or eight days of such quiet days, she listened to rumors from the people in the palace that Huo Buxuan was accused of killing Liang and taking advantage of it, and the crime cannot be forgiven!

    Shao Shang wanted to ask Yuan Shen to clarify, but the emperor announced her earlier.

    She patted her head and followed Xiaohuangmen without a clue. When she reached the inner hall of Shangshutai, she found that in addition to the old uncle and the cold-faced prince, the sparse-haired Tingwei Lord Ji Zun also.

    “I have seen Yanghou.” He saluted the emperor and his son, and Shao Shang also gave Ji Laoer a bow.

    Ji Zun returned the gift.

    “Your Majesty has summoned his concubine, I don’t know what to do.” Shaoshang said respectfully.

    The emperor sighed: “It’s a long story. Zi Duan, tell me.”

    The prince, who is good at summarizing skills, said: “Zhang wants to report to Zisheng, saying that he killed the good and took advantage of it.”

    It’s too easy!

    The emperor stroked his forehead, Ji Zun endured a laugh, and Shao Shang reluctantly asked: “I dare to ask Your Highness, who is Zhang Ruo? Is it just for this?” This has something to do with her.

    Prince said: “First, you have seen Zhang Yao. Five years ago, he knocked Zisheng off the cliff.”

    Shao Shang was stunned: “The one who made a pair of iron melons hammer? The concubine remembers, I heard that this person has always held a grudge against Mr. Huo because he failed to lead Yu Linwei.” In fact, the reason for this is that the prince told her. Later, the prince looked for an opportunity to demote people to guard the mausoleum. Why did it appear again now.

    The emperor thought that the girl was very smart, and gave her a smile. Ji Zun said with an expressionless face: “Ms. Cheng, don’t tell people right or wrong for no reason.” When she came up, she charged the accuser with resentment. The women in the palace were indeed not simple.

    Prince said: “Second, Zhang Yao’s report was more than five years ago, before the crusade against Peng Zhen’s army started…” After a pause, he said, “To be exact, ten The last six or seven days of the month.”

    Hearing this date, Shaoshang’s heart skipped a beat.

    “Two or three hundred miles to the west of Panqing Camp, there was a group of thieves with dozens of people, often intercepting passers-by in the mountains. After hearing about the soldiers, he took the initiative to lead the order to suppress the bandits.” The prince continued, “At the end of October, Zi Sheng led a team out of the camp, and six or seven days later he brought dozens of bandit heads back to the camp.”

    “It’s not, it’s good.” Shaoshang was puzzled.

    The prince gave her a cold look: “Who knows where Zhang wants to find a group of old and weak women and children, saying that more than five years ago, the army broke into their village and slaughtered them indiscriminately. Especially the males in the village, who cut off their heads and took them away after killing them. They managed to escape, and they hid for several years before they dared to sue.”

    Shao Shang stayed.

    Ji Zun frowned and said: “If it really kills the good and takes advantage of it, the villagers do not dare to come forward and file a complaint for fear of being silenced. A few days ago, the minister sent people to investigate, and the land under Gushan was barren, seven or eight. A few years ago, dozens of families received the government’s ‘Order to Encourage Farming’, and they settled there, reclaiming wasteland and farming. Nearby villages all said that for some reason, those families disappeared five years ago, and they thought they were looking at the land. Bo failed to harvest, so he ran away. Following the plaintiff’s instructions, the minister dug a corpse pit in their settlement, and it turned out that the corpses were all dressed up by villagers. There were also several women, who described in detail the leader of the general Xuanjia. The weapons that look like are exactly what Huo Budo described!”

    “Zi Sheng has been leading troops since he was fifteen years old, and he has killed countless gangsters. How could he do such a thing!” The prince was furious.

    Ji Zun’s face was expressionless: “I know that Your Highness has a lot of faith in Huo Zisheng, but it’s one thing. You can’t just protect yourself without any reason!” He was speaking to the prince, but his eyes turned to the emperor, his meaning was self-evident.

    The prince was angry and said nothing.

    “…What do the generals who went to suppress the bandits say?” Shao Shang was surprised, “Do they say that Mr. Huo told them to kill Liang and take credit?”

    The prince said coldly: “At that time, Zisheng was leading new soldiers, and there were three generals at the head, two of whom were killed in battle, and the other was Zisheng’s part. The rest of the soldiers, or In the past five years, he was damaged in battle, or he was sent back to his hometown after the expedition to Shu last year. It is very difficult to recall as many as possible.”

    Shao Shang’s eyes moved, and he slowly looked at the old man in the upper seat. The emperor nodded slightly, and they were like mirrors in each other’s hearts.

    “Third.” The prince frowned, “I don’t know why the emperor called you for this matter today.”

    The prince and Ji Zun’s doubtful eyes were touched, and there was the encouraging look of the old man on the side. Shaoshang’s heart turned back and forth, and his shoulders were weakly lowered: “His Royal Highness Prince, Lord Ji Hou, the concubine does not know I don’t know who killed Liang and took advantage of the merit five years ago, but the concubine knows that this can never be Mr. Huo.”

    The prince’s eyes lit up, and Ji Zun was suspicious: “How to say this.”

    Shao Shang sighed: “Before the expedition of the Fa-Peng army, right? In the last few days at the end of October – at that time, Master Huo was taking his concubine to play in Tugaoshan.” Saying this, she Inevitably some blush.

    The prince pressed down on the table with force, and his eyes flashed: “I know that! I know that Zisheng can’t… Uh, who was the leader of the army to suppress the bandits at that time…” After being happy, his tone Hesitating instead.

    “Ms. Cheng must be careful!” Old Man Ji looked solemn.

    Shao Shang shouted: “Ji Hou don’t have to doubt me, because Your Majesty knows about this! Your Majesty, speak up!”

    Ji Zun and the Crown Prince went to see the old man.

    The emperor smiled and said: “Yes, Zisheng told me about this when he came back from Tu Gaoshan; it was one of his subordinates who led the army to suppress the bandits on his behalf, I remember the name… It’s Li Si.”

    Ji Zun was displeased: “Huo Budo is neglecting his duty! How can Your Majesty protect you so far!”

    “Hey, it’s just negligence! The punishment is enough!” The prince, who has always lived like a king of hell, was very kind at this moment, “Also, if Zisheng didn’t go to Gushan at all, how would those women identify him? Describe—there must be something strange about it!”

    Ji Zun gasped heavily in his nostrils, and after a while of anger, he said in a serious tone: “Your Majesty, I have always trusted His Majesty. There has long been a lot of dissatisfaction among courtiers about favoritism. Now there is a lot of uproar in the market, so I think it is better to walk the number of paths that should be taken.”

    “Marquis Yang is right!” The prince was very enthusiastic, “Let Zisheng go to Tingwei’s mansion to defend himself, yes, Mrs. Cheng will also go!”

    “Ah!” Shao Shang was shocked, “What are you doing? Let General Li Si say it!”

    “Li Si is a part of Zisheng, or a soldier of the Huo family. He said that Zisheng was not in Gushan at the time, who can believe it?!”

    “But the concubine is his… eh…” Shaoshang got stuck.

    “You are engaged to Yuan Shi, and it has nothing to do with Zisheng! If you talk about it, it will definitely deter rumors!”

    “This…” The businessman hesitated.

    The prince lowered his face coldly: “Ms. Cheng, although Zisheng has nothing to do with you, you can’t die!”

    “It’s not going to die…” Shao Shang sneered.

    “Shao Shang is not such a person. Zi Duan, don’t scare her.” The old man looked kindly, “Shao Shang, what do you say?”

     Shao Shang bit his lip and said with a gasp: “Well, Lord Ji, the concubine is willing to go to the Tingwei Mansion and explain the situation clearly, and never let the court law embarrass! “Mom, can she say no? !

    Ji Zun shouted hello: “That’s good, three days later, the court will have a trial, and the old minister will be waiting for Mrs. Cheng.”

    …

     “Father, Zhang Yao has been guarding the West Tomb for the past few years.”

    “Didn’t my son send him there?”

    “My son, remember, the leader of Xiling Guard was a confidant who served under the father’s account in the past.”

    “Really, my son has a good memory.”

    “My father must have known about Zhang’s meeting with those old and weak women and children.”

    “Perhaps so.”

    “If the Queen Mother of Huai’an didn’t say that she missed Zisheng last month, would you let Zisheng return to the capital to defend herself?”

    “My son said it.”
