Naturally, Lu Guizhou was no match for his father. This martial art was taught by his father, so there was no room for him to fight back. Grabbing his father's palm abruptly, Lu Guizhou gritted his teeth and took a few steps back, barely stopping.
Breathing slightly short and disordered, Lu Guizhou saluted immediately, "Father!"
Lu Rujing stood with his hands behind his back, dressed in black and hidden in the darkness, only when he looked back at his son coldly, a little light shone in his black pupils, "Do you still see me as a father in your eyes? Zhishui, you have disappointed me so much! "
"Father!" Lu Guizhou straightened up, "I don't think I did anything wrong."
"You still dare to talk back! Why did I ask you to come out?" Lu Rujing's voice was ruthless, "Money is an external possession, the important thing is the bronze key and the secret box, but you are so lucky that you have nothing to do with the daughter of the Xia family. Then why did Xia Li'an die in the first place, do I need to reiterate? If she knew the real reason, she would probably hate everyone."
Lu Guizhou took a deep breath, "Father is wrong, Xi'er is kind, for what happened to the Xia family back then, she only hated the Longevity Gate, and it has nothing to do with us. We have already separated from the Longevity Gate, for her , is no longer a disciple of the Longevity Sect."
"Then what's the difference? There's no difference in essence to how many guardians the Yama of the Ten Temples housed." Lu Rujing took a deep breath, "Zhishui, you should calm down!"
"Father, she's different!" Lu Guizhou looked at Wen Run, but he was actually a very stubborn person who stubbornly protected Shen Muxi. Tang, none of the three of them disclosed the reason why Shen Muxi escaped back then.
"What's the difference? It's just a woman!" Lu Rujing snorted coldly, "Get the key and leave the Eastern Capital. This is not the place we should stay. Zhao Lianyi made a move in the Eastern Capital, so we shouldn't stay here." .”
"Father!" Lu Guizhou took a few steps back, "Please forgive my son for not agreeing!"
"Bastard!" Lu Rujing raised his hand angrily.
If this palm is chopped down, half life can be removed without death.
"Come on, take it easy!" A figure jumped in from the wall and hurriedly grabbed Lu Rujing's hand, "Boss, if you slash with your palm, you might not be able to hold down your wife's coffin board!"
"You!" Lu Rujing gritted his teeth, "Qianmian, you have done a good job, and you dare to come now!"
"I rescued that girl from the Xia family. What happened to being playful?" Mu Zhongzhou is not the real Mu Zhongzhou, but the real gentleman with thousands of faces wearing Mu Zhongzhou's leather mask, "I am a thousand-faced gentleman." I have played everything above, but I have never played the game of master and apprentice, boss, are you envious?"
"You!" Lu Rujing was so angry that his heart trembled, "That girl of the Xia family... is simply a disaster, and now Bao Yunxiu is staring at my son because of her, do you think I should tear her up!"
"Hey, Lu Rujing, I can warn you, don't touch my little girl, or I'll be in a hurry with you!" Qianmian put her waist in, "I've been raising me for seven years, if you slap me and kill me, I... During the Ching Ming Festival next year, I have to sue my second child for bullying me!"
Lu Rujing doesn't want to slap Xia Wenxi to death now, but just wants to slap Qianmian to death.
Lan Niang twisted her slender waist, "Why don't you three have a good discussion, and I will first..."
"Hurry up!" Qian Mian hurriedly said, "I can smell your smell from ten miles away."
"Old man! You deserve to be a bachelor forever." Lan Niang turned and left.
Qian Mian twitched the corners of his lips, and sneered at Lan Niang's back, "What's wrong with being a bachelor? I didn't ask you to marry me, what's in the way?" Turning around, the Lu family's father and son stared at him in unison. he.
"What are you looking at me for?" Qianmian snorted twice, "Am I wrong? Have you eaten your food and drank your water? I can go to Nanshan to catch snakes, go to Wuyang to catch turtles, treat difficult and miscellaneous diseases with martial arts, How can an outstanding man like me, who can fly over the roof and walk over walls, be suitable for an ordinary woman?"
Lu Guizhou coughed twice.
"Blow it, keep blowing it, blow it hard!" Lu Rujing turned and entered the room, "I magnified my words more than 20 years ago, and now I still don't change my mind. You deserve to be a bachelor for the rest of your life."
"Hey hey, how can you be better than me? Isn't it just that you have an extra son? I also have multiple apprentices! My apprentice is very powerful now, as long as you can cure all poisons, you, Lu Rujing, may not be able to do this Let's go!" Qian Mian entered the door bluffing.
"Shut up!" Lu Rujing was furious. Back then, Han Tianming was sworn three times, so why did that boy drag such... unreliable thing? ! These years, I have been acting recklessly outside, and the older I get, the more playful I am, and I can't stop it.
Qian Mian was seated, Zhishu hurried in to serve tea, "Master!"
"But the Biluochun I like?" Qian Mian asked.
Zhishu nodded, "Yes!"
"Hey! Go down!" Qian Mian picked up the cup and poured it into his mouth.
"Tear off the leather on your face and wear a dead face, don't you feel sick?" Lu Rujing's face darkened.
"You have a dead fish eye, and I have a dead face, isn't that just right?" Qianmian sipped a sip of tea, "Not bad! Boy Lu, come here, tell me, are you thinking about Xia girl?"
Lu Guizhou remained silent.
Lu Rujing couldn't bear it any longer, "Shut up."
Qianmian didn't bother to talk to him, "Back then when you were allowed to sneak in, what kind of gentlemanly manners did you put on? Now you know you're at a disadvantage, right? I heard that you got involved with Zhong Yao? That girl is a little tigress raised by a tigress." , the baby is a tiger cub, so be careful!"
Turning around, Lu Rujing stared at him murderously.
Qian Mian put down the cup in his hand, and said solemnly, "Zhong Yao is Zhao Lianyi's apprentice, and he is a good match for your son. Don't be unhappy, I heard that he is going to be a grandfather!"
Lu Rujing was taking a sip from his cup, when he heard this, he spit out a sip of water.
"Your son came back from sleep by himself." Qian Mian stood up silently, looking at Lu Guizhou, who was also as black as ink, "Did you tell your father? Zhong Yao is pregnant with your child?"
"What?" Lu Rujing shattered the table with one palm and charged straight at him.
Lu Guizhou hurriedly dodged away, and a big hole was opened in the window.
"The child is not mine." Lu Guizhou said coldly, but he didn't fight back. He just avoided his father all over the room. "At that time, I was injured and fell into a coma, but I knew in my heart whether I had done anything."
Lu Rujing stopped, "Is this true?"
"Then why didn't you explain before?" Qian Mian asked.
Lu Guizhou didn't say a word, he had his own plan.
"Bring back the key, there's no need to say anything else!" Lu Rujing walked out with a flick of his sleeves.
"I gave the key away. I didn't say to take it back. Why are you in a hurry? That thing is my birthday gift to Xiao Zhi'er. Don't think about it again! When the second child gave it to me, it was Let me decide, Lu Rujing, you are reasonable!" Qianmian was angry this time, "The secret box is lost, so what if I get the key back? It's just a piece of bronze waste."
Lu Rujing angrily said, "That's what the second child left behind. If it falls into the hands of the Longevity Gate, once the secret box is opened, the consequences will be unimaginable! Everyone in the whole world will die without a place to bury them. If the Phoenix Gu reappears, they will die." How many people? If you don't go, I'll get it myself!"
"Father!" Lu Guizhou was anxious, "I'll get it!"
It was so quiet that you could hear a needle drop.
Qianmian was the first to leave. A group of people were always talking about the keys, but what if they got the keys? The secret box was nowhere to be found, and the key was just a piece of bronze trash. A group of people have already prepared the fish pot before they caught the fish. I don't know what they think?
Ask inside Willow Villa.
Hei Ying came in quietly, "Xiaozhi...huh?"
Bo Yu raised his head first, and Shen Zhi hurriedly covered his mouth, "Shut up, it's my master."
"Why does this kid sleep with you?" Qianmian pulled off his face covering, "When did you two become like this? How did this kid treat you back then, you forgot all about it? How did Shigong teach you? Gratitude and resentment Clearly, grievances and grievances are clear, you are not distinguishing between grievances and resentments!"
"Master!" Shen Zhi climbed out of bed, "Why are you here?"
"Give me the key!" Qian Mian hurriedly said.
Shen Zhi clutched his neck and took two steps back, Bo Yu immediately rushed up, stopped in front of Shen Zhi, stared at Qian Mian coldly, "What do you want to do? If you are dishonest, I will call someone!"
Qian Mian sighed softly, "This thing is a birthday gift from Master, but the current situation is a bit special. Everyone thinks that the key is with your mother, so... I have to get someone to divert attention."
Saying that, Qian Mian squatted down and took out a brocade box from his arms, "Guess what's inside?"
Bo Yu couldn't figure it out.
Shen Zhi frowned, "Key!"
"Change it with the one on your neck." Qian Mian said, "If someone comes to snatch it, do you know what to do?"
Shen Zhi nodded, quickly took off the key hanging around his neck, and then hung the fake key in the brocade box around his neck, "If someone comes to snatch it, I will give up my life to protect it."
"Why are you still protecting the fake? Do you want to die?" Bo Yu frowned.
"Only if they see that I don't want my life, they will think that this is the key given by the master. Didn't you say that the fake ones don't need to be protected, so the real ones must be protected with their lives." Shen Zhi squeezed the brocade box in his hand , "But master, why do you have to leave this thing to us?"
"This is your mother's stuff, so it's great to leave it to you. This thing is very important. It can prosper the world, but it can also destroy the world." Qianmian patted the child's shoulder, "Protect it! Useful."
"Master?" Before Shen Zhi could ask more questions, Qian Mian had already left quickly.
Bo Yu frowned, and looked at the key on Shen Zhi's neck in puzzlement, "What is so important that you have to feint? What should I do if I accidentally hurt my life? I can't see you in danger .”
"Don't worry, I have a sense of proportion!" Shen Zhi sat on the edge of the bed, "Maybe this will save my mother from suffering!"
"Then have you thought about yourself?" Bo Yu asked.
Shen Zhi nodded, and looked at him seriously, "Of course I thought about it, I don't want to die yet!"
Bo Yu narrowed her eyes, looking thoughtfully at the key on Shen Zhi's neck, "This thing seems familiar, can you let me have a look?"
"Okay!" Shen Zhi untied it without hesitation, "Have you seen it?"
"They all look similar, so I can't tell if I've seen them before, but I think...it's very similar to the birthmark on my mother's arm!" Bo Yu frowned, "There is such a mark on my mother's right arm, which is said to be a birthmark, but I looked at the traces, as if they were branded on."
Shen Zhi opened his eyes wide, "Is it branded? Is it really similar?"
"Yes!" Bo Yu nodded, "I've seen it once or twice, and I'm not too sure, but the shape is indeed like this key. But the shape is vague, it may not be this one, I just think the size, shape, and size are similar!"
"Let's make sure someday." Shen Zhi said.
Bo Yu nodded, and hung the key on Shen Zhi's neck again, "After lunch tomorrow, let's go quietly."
"Okay!" Shen Zhi nodded, "Quickly sleep, if I wake up the two aunts, I will definitely tell my mother again."
"Um!"
Early the next morning, the two little kids obediently got up, washed, ate and entered the palace.
Before leaving, Shen Muxi sighed softly, "Uncle hasn't been found yet, you must be careful when entering and leaving the palace, you know?"
"I know!" Shen Zhi nodded, "Does Mother have any other orders?"
"After dinner tonight, mother wants to talk to you." Shen Muxi thought about it all night, and finally felt that he should talk about it. Although the child is young, he is already sensible, and there are some things that should not be hidden from the child. They are all part of the family, and they should know the truth!
Shen Zhi looked at his mother hesitantly, finally nodded and left with Bo Yu.
Xia Wenqing hasn't been found yet, Bo Yunxiu hasn't come back yet, and Wenliu Villa's alert hasn't been lifted yet, which means that the East Capital City is not at peace. People from the Longevity Gate robbed Luo Nanchen and Zhong Yao, and they may still be staying in the city .
"Doctor Shen, don't worry!" Yue Gui said, "There are hidden guards outside the Nanyuan Pavilion, and no one else is allowed inside, so it's very safe."
Shen Muxi settled down, "Last time..."
"Last time, the Wei family was able to enter the Nanyuan Pavilion after obtaining the token of the queen mother, but now she is trapped in the cold palace by the prince with iron chains. I heard that she has been tortured so that she is not human, ghosts are not ghosts, so I will not She ran out to cause trouble again!" Yue Gui hurriedly explained, "My lord spared her life probably to explain to the young master, please don't take it to heart, Dr. Shen."
Having talked about this, what else can Shen Muxi say
"I hope everything will be safe and sound." Shen Muxi closed her eyes, her heart heavy.
But it's strange to say that in the past few days, I always feel a dull pain in my heart, as if the phoenix Gu inside is a little ready to move, and I don't understand what's going on.
A Luo stepped forward, "Master, what's wrong with you?"
Shen Muxi shook her head, she couldn't figure out all the things at the moment, but she always felt that the inexhaustible clues here seemed to start more than 20 years ago, the date of birth on that piece of handkerchief , which is very close to hers, but she is later than the above one.
It's not the fourth prince's birthday on the handkerchief, could it be Wei Xian'er's
In fact, Bo Yunxiu has already sent someone to call out the horoscope of Wei Xianer's birthday. Wei Xianer is an orphan, and no one knows anything about her relationship with the fourth prince. Wei Xian'er is such a number one person.
Wei Xian'er's birthday horoscope is very similar to the one on the yellow cloth, but there are still some differences, and it doesn't match.
after lunch.
Song Liufeng and Yan Sang searched again, but they couldn't find the whereabouts of Shen Zhi and Bo Yu, so they were a little surprised.
"These two have always been secretive lately, and they don't know what they're doing?" Yan Sang was puzzled.
"Do they often run away?" Li Changxuan asked.
Yan Sang and Song Liufeng were taken aback, and hurriedly shook their heads, "No, we're talking nonsense."
"It's not a good boy to cheat!" Li Changxuan stared at the two.
Song Liufeng tugged, Yan Sang's words came to his lips and he swallowed them again.
Song Liufeng coughed twice, looked at Li Changxuan with a smile and said, "Young Fu has no children yet!"
Li Changxuan's face darkened slightly, is this burying him? Little kid. But looking around, there is really no whereabouts of Bo Yu and Shen Zhi, and there is always some worry in my heart, since the two reconciled, they are as good as one person, they go together wherever they go.
In view of the accident that happened last time, Li Changxuan turned around and left, he should look for it to avoid accidents.
"Come up!" Shen Zhi held out his hand.
Bo Yu gritted her teeth and grabbed her, was dragged up to the top of the wall by Shen Zhi, and then slowly slid down the tree outside the wall.
Not far away, Ah Zuo and Ah You looked at each other in blank dismay, how many times is this the first time?
Climbing walls is not a good habit!
Ah Zuo cleared all the way in front, and Ah You followed all the way behind. The servants took a detour one after another, and no one dared to confront Li Wangfu's. After all, those two little fellows were the young ancestors of Li Wangfu. Don't be surprised.
"There don't seem to be too many people in the palace today." Bo Yu was surprised.
Shen Zhi narrowed his eyes, "Don't be stupid."
Bo Yu was taken aback, "What?"
"Did you take a detour if you didn't see it? Look at us as if you saw a ghost." Shen Zhi walked upright, without squinting his eyes, as if he had already guessed, "A Zuo and A You are protecting us! "
Bo Yu pursed her lips, "I didn't get this kind of treatment before. Dad called Sun Xian to me before, but then he just dropped away. I don't know where he sent him to work as a coolie."
Shen Zhi was amused by him, and the corners of his lips curved, "If you are in danger, wouldn't Ah Zuo and Ah You still save you?"
"Thank you!" Bo Yu pouted.
The two went to the Leng Palace carelessly, not deliberately avoiding it, after all Wei Xian'er was staying in the Leng Palace, so it was reasonable for Bo Yu to visit. And because of Shen Zhi's backing, even if the prince blames him, he will take Dr. Shen's face into consideration and dare not be harsh.
As soon as he stepped into the cold palace, Bo Yu quickly grabbed Shen Zhi, and a crazy woman jumped in front of Shen Zhi's toes. Shen Zhi was so shocked that he took several steps back, and his expression changed instantly.
"This Lenggong was originally lived in by the deposed concubine. It's no wonder you're used to it!" Bo Yu stepped forward to stand in front of Shen Zhi, and shouted loudly, "What's the matter, come out!"
The eunuch and maid in charge quickly came out of the house, "Who is shouting here, I didn't see..."
"Bastard!" Bo Yu yelled coldly, "Blind your dog eyes, didn't you see that it was me?"
"Oh, young master! The young master is here, I don't know where I need the servants to serve? Is it for the Wei family?" The eunuch and maid in charge hurriedly saluted, and no matter how poor the Wei family is, the young master is always from the palace. The young master, with the protection of the empress dowager, naturally had to make offerings.
When Wei Shi was mentioned, Shen Zhi subconsciously glanced at Bo Yu.
Bo Yu's face was a bit embarrassed, but her waist was still straight, "Where is the man? Take me there!"
"Yes, yes, please this way, both of you!" The eunuch hurriedly led the way and led the man to a secluded place.
Ah Zuo and Ah You sat on the ridge of the roof, watching the two young ones walk in the corridor and enter the room where Wei Xian'er was being held.
"Yizhu?" Bo Yu was surprised, and immediately went up to meet her, her face full of joy, "Yizhu, why are you here? Didn't you disappear? I searched many places but couldn't find you, how did you enter the palace?"
Yizhu frowned and didn't speak.
"Young master, Miss Yizhu can't speak, have you forgotten?" the eunuch reminded.
It was only then that Bo Yu remembered that Yizhu's tongue had been cut off.
"Yizhu, are you okay? Where did you go? Why can't I find you when I search the streets?" Bo Yu was puzzled.
Yizhu bowed and stood respectfully at the door, without any intention of explaining, even her expression was cold, even slightly angry.
"Go in first!" Shen Zhi stepped into the door.
The room was dark and smelled of urine everywhere.
The two children covered their mouths and noses when they entered the door, and when they turned around, they saw Wei Xian'er chained in a corner.
Bo Yu was shaken all over, and just about to take a step back, she just stared at Wei Xian'er with disheveled hair, her expression was a little dazed, and she didn't know what was going on in her little head.
"I have a grudge against her, but you were born by her, no matter what you do, I will forgive you!" Shen Zhi said.
Bo Yu glanced at him gratefully, "My life was given back to her a long time ago, and now I only have sympathy! Poor her, she has been trapped in her own delusion all her life, thinking how beautiful she is. But her heart is broken. A pretty face can't fill this black hole."
"Did you say she was on the right arm?" Shen Zhi asked.
Bo Yu came back to her senses, "Yes! Yizhu!"
Yizhu salutes.
"Help me lift her right arm." Bo Yu said.
Yizhu hesitated for a moment.
"What's wrong?" Bo Yu asked, "Why didn't you do the same?"
Yizhu closed her eyes, and walked slowly to Wei Xianer's side.
"Bitch!" Wei Xian'er suddenly rushed forward frantically, almost throwing Yizhu down, but luckily she was tied by an iron chain. The heavy iron chain made her struggle for a while, but soon exhausted her strength and died down.
Bo Yu stood in front of Shen Zhi with one hand, as if recalling the events of that day, his complexion was blue and white.
Yizhu seemed to be used to it, and she shot very quickly, grabbing Wei Xianer's right arm suddenly, and quickly stroked the arm up, the whole arm was bruised and purple, either scalded or welt marks, and some seemed to be pinched out.
In an instant, her heart twitched violently, and Bo Yu's body stiffened, staring intently at the injury on Wei Xian'er's arm, her eyes turned red instantly.
Shen Zhi held Bo Yu's hand and led him forward, "I can see better when I go forward."
Bo Yu glanced at him gratefully.
On Wei Xian'er's arm, there is indeed a mark, and this mark is really similar to the mark of the key given by the master.
"Yizhu, go down!" Bo Yu said.
Yizhu looked a little flustered, and stepped back quickly.
"This injury was actually caused by a blow, right?" Shen Zhi said.
Bo Yu took a deep breath, "It's her sin that should be atoned for, so hurry up and get down to business."
Shen Zhi looked around and made sure no one was peeping, so he took the key off his neck and compared it with the imprint on Wei Xian'er's arm, no matter the size or shape, they were all exactly the same.
Although this key is fake, it is difficult to distinguish the real from the fake, because the shape, size and even the pattern are almost the same, and most people can't tell it. Only those who have really seen the key will know the authenticity. !
Only subtle, invisible differences exist.
"How could this be?" Bo Yu was surprised.
Shen Zhi put away the keys, got up slowly, with a heavy expression on his face. The master clearly said that this thing belongs to his mother, but why is there such a mark on Wei Xianer's body? What the hell happened
With a long sigh, Shen Zhi walked out in silence.
Bo Yu looked back at the wound on Wei Xian'er's arm, which was mottled and mottled. It can be seen that she has suffered a lot these days, "Although you have done a lot of bad things, but these days I follow Dr. Shen and Shen Zhi, and I feel relieved. Little. I neither hate you nor blame you. Dr. Shen said that everything has a cause and an effect, and I have the right to think that you are doing this for me."
After finishing speaking, Bo Yu stood up, "Take care!"
With long hair covering her face, Wei Xian'er smiled sinisterly, and let out a low, silly laugh, which made Bo Yu's heart shudder.
"Why did you come out?" Shen Zhi asked.
Bo Yu didn't say anything, "I don't feel very comfortable, and I want to ask Young Fu for leave this afternoon."
Shen Zhi opened his mouth, but he didn't say anything in the end. Everyone has seen what's going on in the room. I'm afraid no one will be able to accept that my mother has become like this. In this regard, Shen Zhi expressed his understanding.
"Young master, are you alright?" The eunuch leaned forward with a flattering expression.
Bo Yu walked in the corridor in a daze, her eyes dim.
"When Yizhu was brought here by the prince, he was also wounded. I heard from people from the palace that the Wei family sold Yizhu in order to return to the palace, and exchanged Yizhu for some silver taels. There is a chance to send a letter to Changfu Palace, and I have invited the Empress Dowager to pick him up in person." The eunuch explained in a low voice.
Her footsteps froze in shock, and Bo Yu's eyes widened in disbelief, "What did you say? When Yizhu disappeared, it was me, my mother who betrayed her?"
"Yes!" The eunuch smiled apologetically, "I'm afraid that what the people from the Prince's Mansion said may not be true, and they found him. I heard that when they brought him back, he was a little confused and pregnant. Fortunately, In the end, the lord graciously let her be cured of Miss Yizhu, and she also helped Miss Yizhu make up the child in her stomach, and sent it back to take care of Wei. After all, he is an old man and old master, and he is used to serving her."
Shen Zhi frowned, "Elder-in-law, you don't need to wait here anymore, you can go now!"
"Hey!" The eunuch bowed and immediately withdrew.
"Bo Yu?" Shen Zhi pursed his lips, "My lord..."
"I know." Bo Yu nodded, her body tensed up, almost gnashing her teeth, "I know, I understand! When I was expelled from the palace, Yizhu served her, went to beg for food and go to work, so that we could If I survive, I can have a bite to eat. But I didn't expect that she would be so ruthless! Even Yizhu won't let her go, and Yizhu has served her for many years! Even if you have a dog, you should have feelings."
Shen Zhi narrowed his eyes, "Wake up, you are her son, how much affection does she have for you? Besides, Yizhu is just an outsider, a slave!"
"Where is she going to get better?" Bo Yu became impatient, "She is not a rich man, so why, why should she abuse people like this?"
"At least, you are different from her!" Shen Zhi said.
Bo Yu's eyes were slightly red, and she subconsciously clenched her palm tightly. The thing her mother gave...
