"If I tell you that I am the current emperor, would you believe me?" The emperor said casually with arrogance.
Zhao Jinyu was stunned for a second, mainly because the tone of the stone's speech was too serious, but she quickly realized that this was a prank by it, the emperor stayed in the palace well, right? Who are you kidding!
"I don't want to listen to your lies!" In order to punish the stone, Zhao Jinyu picked up the jewelry box and shook it violently. With the sound of jingling inside, the emperor was dizzy because he was already hungry. , this flash even felt that he was about to faint.
"Presumptuous, stop it!" Of course, the emperor didn't really mean to reveal his identity, so saying this was just to test Zhao Jinyu's reaction, to see if she had already guessed something. Fortunately, Zhao Jinyu's current demeanor is enough to show that she just felt that he was involved in this matter, but never thought that he might be the emperor.
He let go of his worried heart. After all, if he and her turned around and knew that he had offended a mighty existence like the emperor, he would only think about how to eliminate the traces in order to survive. It was best to destroy the corpses to avoid future troubles , but on the other hand, the emperor has a kind of unspeakable unwillingness, he really has eyes but does not know Mount Tai!
When he catches her in the future, he will tell her personally that he is the stone she once despised. Seeing her painful expression of astonishment and regret, and begging for mercy bitterly, it must be a very happy thing. When the time comes, he will goug out her eyes to punish her for looking down on people, and cut off her hands and feet, in order to punish her for shaking him so presumptuously with these hands!
"It seems that you don't plan to stop talking?" Zhao Jinyu's voice was rarely angry. When she thought that many girls might be implicated because of herself, she felt very uncomfortable! Shake the box harder and harder.
"Don't shake it!" The emperor was stared at by Zhao Jinyu's eyes, and the joy of revenge just now disappeared completely. He said to himself, he can't bear it for a while..., "Give me a meal first, I'm full I will tell you of course!" Hehe, the emperor sneered secretly, and I will lure you into the pit in a while.
A quarter of an hour later, the majestic emperor met the delicious rice balls, and all dignity was gone forever! =. =
The emperor was lying in a fist-sized rice ball and screaming excitedly, pushing his round body on one side and pushing on the other, eating happily, as if this simple rice ball was a real delicacy in the world.
Zhao Jinyu rested her chin, and for some reason, she had the illusion that the stone in front of her was a little pig. Maybe it was so happy to eat, and it made a humming sound from time to time. The voice was so cute. If she hadn't been determined, she might not have had the heart to continue interrogating her.
"You haven't finished yet." Zhao Jinyu knocked on the jewelry box beside her with her hand, making a thumping sound, like a warning, "You said that when they find out that they have arrested the wrong person, they will release those girls right."
"Hum!" The emperor, wandering in the ocean of food, almost bubbling with happiness, responded perfunctorily.
"Then can they hear us when we talk?" Zhao Jinyu was worried. Who knew that he had provoked the emperor's things... Of course, the stone insisted that he was not the emperor's plaything, but the most noble king of stones. In short, that means , he will always be the most honorable, =. =
In this regard, Zhao Jinyu also believed that this stone was just an ordinary Yuhua stone on the outside. If it didn't have any supernatural powers, how could the emperor have taken a fancy to it? However, regarding Shitou's explanation of the reasons why all the girls named Zhang Hong were arrested, she still felt something was wrong, "You mean that the Commander of the Jin Yiwei accidentally lost you, and then he was punishing the entire city for atonement. Looking for you, if I take the initiative to send it up, not only will I be rewarded by the emperor, but even the Jinyiwei will be grateful? It will also allow those innocent girls to be free as soon as possible?"
The emperor narrowed his eyes, his eyes were deep, and there was a kind of dark light that people couldn't see through. He said, "I don't want to go back to the palace, that place is so boring!" Said, "Before they used witchcraft, they were able to spy on my actions. When they heard your name, they guessed that my trace had something to do with you, but don't worry, this kind of witchcraft can only be used once!"
Zhao Jinyu frowned, and clenched her fingers unconsciously, "Then according to what you said, I should send you back!" Maybe he could even intercede with his father in front of the emperor for this.
"Hmph, I won't go back."
Zhao Jinyu, "..."
The emperor ate the last piece of sauced beef contentedly, and couldn't help but pouted, thinking, this sauced beef is a bit salty, and the meat is not delicate enough, because it has tendons, it is a bit laborious to eat, but it is better than the palace. The prepared dishes were even more delicious. After he finished eating, he waited for Zhao Jinyu to bathe him, but he didn't see Zhao Jinyu move for a long time. When he looked up, he caught a glimpse of Zhao Jinyu's hesitant expression, frowning for a while, and pursing his lips for a while. , seems to be in a huge trouble.
Hehehe, the emperor sneered, although the reason he said was a bit unbelievable, normal people would not believe it, since this woman can accept a talking stone..., the weird explanation behind it also makes sense, now just wait, human nature Greed, who doesn't want to be appreciated and rewarded by the emperor? He is not in a hurry, because he believes that sooner or later she will be swallowed up by this greed.
Zhao Jinyu said, "Then why wasn't the imperial list released before?"
The emperor raised his eyebrows, thinking that this woman would not be too stupid, and said what he had thought up a long time ago, "How can you make a big splash about things like the royal family losing something? It will not help anything, but it will also make people panic. "In fact, the real reason is naturally that the emperor does not want more people to know that he has turned into a stone, so that those who want to harm him can take advantage of it.
The emperor never believed in eternal loyalty, only eternal interests, so even if he was the most able to control the guards in Jinyi, he didn't know that what they were looking for was actually his true body.
The more Zhao Jinyu thought about it, the more she felt that this matter was wrong. In fact, Shi Shi's explanation was very good, no matter the reason or the reason, but she just had a feeling instinctively, it seemed that it was not that simple!
A talking stone, Jin Yiwei, and the emperor, these things are connected together and become a terrifying net, as if they want to put her in it!
Zhao Jinyu bathed the stone absent-mindedly. Under its picky urging, she massaged and gently wiped off the water droplets on her body. She was very busy.
At night, the emperor still stayed on Zhao Jinyu's pillow as usual, but his eyes couldn't help but aim at Zhao Jinyu's chest. The ground dragon in the room was too hot today, and he sweated just sitting. Zhao Jinyu The undershirt was replaced with a white gauze, the thin gauze was almost translucent, making the red bellyband hazy against the background.
The towering arc, the white and tender skin, and the faint fragrance, the emperor unconsciously remembered how he slept in that soft and incredible chest a few days ago, but soon, the emperor turned his head , Cursing inwardly, what a shameless woman! Wearing a light gauze dress, it's just a way for those women in the palace who want to be honored and crazy to be favored to fight for favor. How can she, a little girl, learn it? Ha ha, it really is not a good product.
How did Zhao Jinyu know what the emperor was thinking at this moment? For her who had traveled here, it was quite normal to wear a gauze dress, or just wear a bellyband to sleep, but now her mind is full of things, and her attention is not on a stone at all. She thought that according to the explanation of the stone, as long as she is not stupid, she will offer the stone and get a reward. What a good thing this is...
No, there must be something wrong, Zhao Jinyu has a very bad premonition in her heart!
In the morning, Zhao Jinyu put on her clothes, hid the letter from Zhao Changchun in the pocket sewn on her coat, wrapped her hat and walked out of the house.
There was already a middle-aged woman in her thirties waiting for her outside the door. Her name was Chen Rong, and she was the bodyguard sent by the Xingtian Bodyguard Bureau to escort Zhao Jinyu to the south. On the road alone, before he was imprisoned, he booked this escort at Xingtian Escort Bureau, and the money was paid off long ago, which made Zhao Jinyu feel more mysterious about this matter than he was surprised.
What exactly is in this letter
How could daddy book an escort agency in advance
The more Zhao Jinyu thought about it, the more she couldn't figure it out, but although she couldn't figure out many things, there was one thing she was sure of, that her father would not harm her. It's all clear, isn't it
"Miss Zhao, it's getting late, let's get on the road early." Rong Chen said neither overbearing nor humble, "The interrogation has been very strict these days, and there is no way to get out of the city gate without a guide. Fortunately, we are all prepared .”
Zhao Jinyu nodded, and turned her head to look at the house again. The house, which was not very rich in the first place, became more and more empty in the cold winter because of the lack of popularity. She felt a pain in her heart, mist rose in her eyes, but she suppressed the tears and got on the mule cart without looking back.
As a result, the mule cart had just gone two steps, when a woman came out next door with two children, "Girl Jin, girl Jin!"
Zhao Jinyu hurriedly asked Chen Rong to stop the carriage, opened the curtain and looked at Wen and the twin children and said, "Auntie, Shubao, Shuzhen, why are you here?"
With tears in the corners of Wen's eyes, she said, "You are leaving, and my aunt will see you off." After speaking, she handed the bundle in her hand to Zhao Jinyu, "There is nothing good at home, but some food, don't be disgusted."
"I can't!"
Zhang Shubao and Zhang Shuzhen are round, fat, and very strong. Because Wen didn't keep his first child in the early years, he had this pair of twins after many years of marriage. They are only nine years old this year, and they are two mischievous twins. The children who caused some headaches for the neighbors in the neighborhood.
Seeing that the two were at a stalemate at this moment, brother Zhang Shubao blinked his black and white eyes, and said seriously, "Sister, my mother burned her hands when she got up to steam the steamed buns in the morning, and we didn't eat them secretly. If you don't take it, won't you make my mother sad?"
Zhao Jinyu was moved when she heard this, and touched the heads of the two children, but she couldn't say her words of gratitude, because the words of gratitude were too pale to express a tenth of the feelings in her heart.
Wen actually has a lot of things to ask her, where are you going? still coming back? Is there any progress with your father? But she couldn't say a word, this is not Zhao Jinyu's family business after all, it's just... she felt very uncomfortable.
The younger brother, Zhang Shuzhen, was more clever. Seeing Wen's hesitation, she said seriously, "Sister, if you don't feel comfortable staying there, come back. I will marry you in the future, and our family can live together." gone."
"What nonsense are you kidding!"
Zhao Jinyu burst out laughing, with such a smile, the sadness of parting was reduced a lot, Wen Shi also smiled helplessly, and said, "Come back if you have any difficulties, your Uncle Zhang nagged me every day that I didn't have a daughter for him..."
"Yeah." Zhao Jinyu nodded fiercely with tears in her eyes.
Seeing Zhao Jinyu get into the mule cart, Chen Rong lowered the curtain and sat at the front with a whip to drive the donkey. She looked very skillful, but the journey was a bit uneven, and she was interrogated several times. With the household registration representing identity and the guidance of Xingtian Escort, it is really difficult to get out.
Waiting to leave the city gate, let alone Zhao Jinyu, even Chen Rong breathed a sigh of relief.
There is a temple outside the capital city. Zhao Jinyu used to visit here when she was young, but it was abandoned for some reason. This is the only way to go south.
"Aunt Chen, stop for a while."
Although Chen Rong was a little puzzled, she still stopped the carriage, "Miss Zhao, you can just call me by my name."
Zhao Jinyu didn't argue with Chen Rong for this title, she weighed the weight of revenge in her hands, and said, "Aunt Chen, wait here for me." Then she might feel that her approach was a bit weird, so she explained shyly, " I'm going to take a break."
Chen Rong was naturally not easy to follow, so she told her to be careful, "Miss Zhao, I have excellent eyes and ears, and I will hear you if you call me."
Zhao Jinyu nodded gratefully and walked in.
Bypassing the gate of the temple, the sound of shoes creaking on the snow was unexpectedly clear in this quiet place. Zhao Jinyu went to the back yard and saw a dry well beside it. It had been decayed for too long and was covered with dust. Zhao Jinyu He stood there with some hesitation for a while, and finally made up his mind to take out a jewelry box from the package, and threw it in without hesitation. With a bang, the box fell into the depths of the dark well.
Zhao Jinyu got on the mule cart, looked at the ruined temples that were going farther and farther away, with a gloomy expression, and couldn't help but say in her heart, Shitou, I'm sorry, I didn't believe your words at all, after careful study, I met you, You didn't tell the truth... As for the girls who were caught by mistake, she pressed her chest, which was suffering from guilt, and she couldn't save them with stones yet.
If her guess is right, as long as she puts up the stone, it will be almost unlucky. She is not afraid of what will happen to her, but she has more important things to do now, waiting for her to come back from the south...
Stone, wait for me.
