cold hearted son-in-law

Chu Yunxi still went upstairs, but she didn't want to be a 'flirty ghost'!She went upstairs with the fearless mentality of going to do something important and big things in her heart, and walked slowly on the third floor corridor where no one was there, thinking, it's fine if Qin Jue and the second prince are gone, but Shi Ze is gone. ?What if you agreed to 'sacrifice your life' for her?Now it's time for him to 'dedicate himself', where did he go?When we go back, we must slander Lin Qi in front of him!

The room on the third floor was silent, with several arm-thick red candles burning inside. The lights on the candlesticks were glowing red.Mrs. Hua was leaning against the window lazily, her left hand was raised in front of her eyes as if she was admiring the slender and beautifully painted nails, while the second and third fingers of her right hand were still gently touching the nails, when she saw Chu Yunxi knock on the door, she paused After a while, she opened the door and came in, then closed the door again, Mrs. Hua tilted her head slightly and looked at her with a sideways smile.

"Mrs. Hua, I'm here." Chu Yunxi walked two or three steps away from Mrs. Hua and said.

"It's been a long night, let's eat and chat." After Madam Hua finished speaking, she didn't get up, but stretched out her right hand with the back of her hand facing up and the palm of her hand facing down.

Seeing this gesture, Chu Yunxi took a few tentative steps forward, stared at her right hand, and thought to himself, what do you mean?Does that mean she doesn't have nails?Chu Yunxi's face froze immediately, isn't this too impatient?

Mrs. Hua stretched out her hand and looked at Chu Yunxi with a smile. After waiting for a while, she looked at her blankly and said helplessly, "Help!"

Only then did Chu Yunxi react, and immediately stretched out his arm to rest on Mrs. Hua's palm, bent over and bowed his head, just like the eunuch Li Lianying supporting Lafayette Cixi.

Mrs. Hua smiled stiffly, withdrew her hand and stood up, walking towards the table alone.Seeing that she had left, Chu Yunxi followed her straight up and sat opposite Mrs. Hua.

"You're so afraid of Bengong, what are you doing here?" Mrs. Hua looked at the person sitting across from her, and she smiled.Among the four round wooden chairs, Chu Yunxi picked the farthest one to guard against her?

"Come to talk to Mrs. Hua." Chu Yunxi said with a smile, his tone was gentle and sincere.

"Chu Lang isn't lonely anymore?" Mrs. Hua looked at Chu Yunxi with phoenix eyes and deliberately teased her. She could naturally guess why Chu Yunxi came here.

"I'm willing to exchange a promise with Mrs. Hua, the military commander of the border town!" Chu Yunxi stopped laughing, and said directly that Prime Minister Qin is an old fox, and she avoids dealing with him, while Mrs. Hua is a vixen. , then directly talk about your intentions, let’s talk about it.The border military talisman was probably because the emperor knew that she was poisoned by a strange poison, and her life would not be long. It would be difficult for the emperor to withdraw the military talisman to mobilize the troops of the six states. The soldiers and civilians under his command did not cause trouble, and the emperor had no reason to accept the talisman.

But this military talisman is different in Mrs. Hua's hands. Most of Mrs. Hua's factions are military generals. When there was the first emperor, they served her.Military generals are different from civil servants. If they want to get promoted and get rich, they must either earn military merit or be supported by someone above them. At that time, there were few wars on the border, and the emperor had not yet ruled, so it was difficult to get in touch with those generals. Mrs. Hua was so powerful, and there was a queen mother in the court. No one dared to rebel against her, so she took in military officers and generals for her own use. The six states that had been strengthened by the emperor but lost control, were suspected by the emperor, so they would naturally serve Mrs. Hua and maintain their current status.

"He Nuo?" Mrs. Hua asked with a flat expression, looking at Chu Yunxi's expression.

"Don't interfere with helping the Bai family!" Chu Yunxi looked at Mrs. Hua and said seriously.

"Are you so sure that you can win the Bai family?" Mrs. Hua asked without the slightest surprise, picked up the wine on the table, and poured wine into the glasses of the two of them.

"The Bai family was greedy to withhold military pay, colluded with foreign enemies, privately dispatched troops into Huzhou to commit crimes, murdered and set fire, lawless, and the evidence is solid." Chu Yunxi looked at Madam Hua's calm expression and said, Madam Hua's expression did not fluctuate at all.

"You're afraid that I'm going to favor favoritism, but you're not afraid that I'm actually the mastermind behind it?" Mrs. Hua picked up the wine glass, walked to the chair beside her and sat down, touched the glass in front of her with the glass, and drank it down.

"Of course Mrs. Hua won't do such a thing!" Chu Yunxi looked at Mrs. Hua leaning over her body calmly, with affirmative tone.

"Then you are saying that this matter is only the work of Bai Lie from the Bai family?" Mrs. Hua smiled this time, and looked up at Chu Yunxi.Chu Yunxi is seventeen years old. She is thin but taller than ordinary women. Mrs. Hua has a plump and attractive figure, but she is half a head shorter than Chu Yunxi. Mrs. Hua is sitting on her chair, but her upper body is snuggled up to Chu Yunxi. In Yunxi's arms.

"I haven't found anyone else." Chu Yunxi didn't dare to move, and looked at the untouched food and wine.

"You haven't found out yet? It seems that this palace overestimated you!" Mrs. Hua picked up Chu Yunxi's glass of wine and said calmly.

"Please tell Mrs. Hua." Chu Yunxi looked down at Mrs. Hua, feeling helpless, wouldn't it be good to sit and talk?How come it looks like it has no bones!

"I will tell you what I know. You can check it yourself if you believe it or not." Mrs. Hua took a sip of the wine, then handed the glass to Chu Yunxi's lips, and looked at her with a smile.Chu Yunxi hesitated, not because she was afraid that this glass of wine was poisonous, she was already poisoned anyway, it was just because Mrs. Hua sipped her lips on this wine glass, and it reminded her of the last time when she entered the room because of the white fox. Being treated lightly by Mrs. Hua made her feel a little shadowy, and she wanted to reach out to take it and drink it in another direction, but Mrs. Hua avoided it with her hand around, and continued to smile at her, Chu Yunxi had no choice but to lower her head and drink from her hand.

Mrs. Hua put down her wine glass and smiled, leaning on her shoulder for a while before recalling, "Back then, that brave and foolhardy Bai Lie was used by others, and three hundred elite soldiers were ordered to be led by one person. It is best to give him a reason to lead troops to get rid of the town army adjacent to him. The man led 300 people in disguise through Youzhou and Qingzhou, and finally sneaked into Huzhou , Murder and arson, indeed a shocking case, and then the leader of the army suddenly disappeared without a trace! Bai Lie searched for people and searched six states but found nothing, so he knew that something was wrong. At that time, the Huzhou case broke out and spread quickly to In the capital city, Bai Lie never stopped doing anything to make those subordinates cut grass and roots without leaving any traces, but it was already too late."

When Mrs. Hua said this, she stopped, stood up and looked at Chu Yunxi's face seriously, Chu Yunxi and her looked at each other, Mrs. Hua sighed again, leaning on her and continued: "Bai Lie One wrong step, one wrong step, the news of the big case in Huzhou spread, and his subordinates attracted the attention of the emperor and Gao Yang, but Li Shangshu sent there could not find any strong evidence, and the case became unsolved! The Chu family They all knew about the matter, and they probably thought that Bengong was the mastermind behind this matter. Gao Yang sent people to help secretly, lured people to Beijing, and also used them as bait. In a few days, I heard that some people died in a small town, and some people disappeared." Madam Hua stopped and looked at her with deep eyes when she said this.

"The Lantern Festival night in the tenth year of Jianwen." Chu Yunxi had neither joy nor sorrow, neither the joy of learning the case nor the sadness of recalling the 53 lives in the mansion.

"Who is that missing person?" Chu Yunxi looked at Mrs. Hua and asked.

"I am also looking for that person, but there is no clue. Speaking of which, his disappearance is similar to your disappearance after the Lantern Festival. Who did you learn your medical skills, that is, the one that can change your face? Why don't you ask if you know the evil doctor?" Mrs. Hua looked at Chu Yunxi and asked.

"Isn't the evil doctor dead? But I have seen two of the three strange poisons he concocted." Now when Chu Yunxi heard about this evil doctor, he felt chills.

"The evil doctor can also use this kind of disguise technique. I have found out that the evil doctor has several apprentices. One of them named Wuxiang inherited his mantle, but he is nowhere to be found."

"Mrs. Hua told me that she wanted to say that all of this may have been done by that person named Wu Xiang, that person who took revenge against my Chu family, and it has nothing to do with the Bai family?" Chu Yunxi looked at Mrs. Hua with a sullen face. Said word by word.If this matter is as simple as Mrs. Hua said, her revenge would be to find the apprentice of the evil doctor. Moreover, Mrs. Hua has a wide network of contacts and many people, but she has not been found. Now, come to the capital and make a big circle, it is a joke to be a son-in-law and a marquis! ! !

"I didn't say that it has nothing to do with the Bai family. After all, he did make mistakes, but the several assassinations after you came to Beijing have nothing to do with him. He has been looking for that instigating villain. After he finds it, things will be fine." Find out, he also appreciates you, and hopes to shake hands and make peace. In the past, he didn't pursue each other's grievances, and he didn't collude with foreign enemies, but he didn't actively resist. You know whether you have evidence." Mrs. Hua looked at Chu Yunxi Said, with a gentle tone and charming eyes.

Chu Yunxi looked at Mrs. Hua, and was speechless for a long time. This Mrs. Hua is amazing. She let her jump into the pit within half an hour since she entered the door. She will not argue with you about the crimes of the Bai family, but only tell you what you want to know. 'Truth', but avoid the important things when speaking, let your thinking follow her.Why does the Bai family have no enmity with her, but the famous Wuxiang who no one can find?Everything was instigated by that villain?Still shaking hands and saying nothing about grievances?How naive do you have to be to believe this nonsense?Do you really think she is being teased by Chu Yunxi's 17-year-old child?So what if she has no evidence?Since the Bai family has done this, can't she fight evil with evil?

Chu Yunxi pushed the vixen who was leaning against her... Oh, it was Mrs. Hua who pushed her away. She is not a man, and this seductive look is useless to her. Chu Yunxi was silent for a long time before saying: "If I have to ask the Bai family What about blood debts?"

"Go one step further, take a step back to open up the sea and the sky, Chu Lang think twice." Mrs. Hua sat up straight and looked at her with a sigh.

"Bloody feud, how can I not report it? Even if my body is broken to pieces, I will not hesitate!" Chu Yunxi looked at Mrs. Hua with a stern expression, and her tone was firm.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Hua's eyes lit up after hearing her words, and she shouted: "Good!" in a praiseful tone with a smile on her face.

Seeing the smile on her face, Chu Yunxi was a little puzzled.

Mrs. Hua smiled mysteriously, and said: "I don't want your military talisman either, as long as you help me achieve my wish, then I will naturally help you achieve your wish!"

"What can Mrs. Hua need my help for?" Chu Yunxi was puzzled by her, so she naturally asked, with Mrs. Hua's power, what wish can't be fulfilled?Unless... isn't it?As soon as Chu Yunxi thought of a possibility, his eyes were fixed on Mrs. Hua's expression.

Mrs. Hua nodded at her with a meaningful smile, and said, "My biggest wish is to get whatever I want!"

"Madam Hua can put her pillow higher when she sleeps!" Chu Yunxi said with a smile after hearing this.

"Why do you have to keep your head up?" Mrs. Hua asked curiously.

"You can dream!" Chu Yunxi laughed loudly, his face became stiffer the more he smiled, and then he stopped smiling after seeing Mrs. Hua sneer at her expression.

"I want that supreme position!" Mrs. Hua smiled and uttered such a sentence as a joke.

Chu Yunxi was speechless, what else could he say?Mrs. Hua is already under one person and above ten thousand people, but now she doesn't want to be oppressed by that person, she wants to usurp the throne and seize power, to be the one at the top, to become the person who controls the life and death of others and the destiny of the country.But Mrs. Hua wants to usurp the throne and rebel, why tell her?

"You don't want to take revenge anymore?" Mrs. Hua looked at Chu Yunxi's stiff expression with a half-smile.

"I want to take revenge, but I can't help Mrs. Hua!" Chu Yunxi whispered as if he was out of breath, and replied with a stiff smile.Help Mrs. Hua plot rebellion, and then clean up the Bai family?Since ancient times, there have been women who listened to politics behind the curtain, but none of them were princesses who became emperors.It is not known whether Mrs. Hua will sit on the throne or not, and how long it will take to clean up the Bai family?Besides, helping Mrs. Hua win the throne, wouldn't she be an enemy of the eldest princess?

"Just now you said that you will not hesitate to break your body and bones, but now you have changed your mind?" Mrs. Hua was not in a hurry, and began to drink by herself.

"I'm timid, there are some things I can't do!"

"If you dare to go deep alone with a group of [-] feudal troops, you are not a coward. Now is the time when the palace needs to employ people. Don't be humble, Chu Lang. After the matter is completed, you will never lose your glory and wealth." Mrs. Hua held Drinking wine, sitting on a chair, smiling playfully.

"Mrs. Xie Hua's appreciation is only due to the fact that there was a reason for the incident at the beginning. The borders of the six states were barren. It was not easy to support the standing army with huge salaries every year. It was a snowstorm and the barbarians couldn't afford it. It was a risky act, but now Mrs. Hua conspired. But it is the world, one bad thing is that it will be bad for thousands of years, and it will never be restored! Chu Yunxi only wanted revenge when he came to Beijing, not for glory and wealth." Chu Yunxi clearly refused, she was not even willing to get involved in the battle for the crown prince, let alone this rebellion!She doesn't have that ambition, and she doesn't want to cause that trouble!What Chu Yunxi said was true, the snowstorm on the border was indeed unaffordable at that time, but it was the early days of recruiting soldiers with food, salaries and taxes.The six prefectures are important towns where troops are garrisoned. They are often subject to wars.Later, the Jiedushi adapted to local conditions and changed it to the Weisuo system. The military registration was hereditary, and the soldiers in the Weisuo had fixed registrations, which changed the original recruitment of soldiers. Soldiers and farmers are integrated into one, and both garrisons and guards are available. It doesn't matter whether there are Baijia troops in these six states.So she found out that it was the Bai family but didn't investigate further, she just didn't want to break the current situation of the court. Mrs. Hua lost a Bai family and was still Mrs. Hua, and the eldest princess still tried her best to help the prince stabilize his position. Xiao Wei is a traveling doctor, wandering all over the world.

"Hmph, you are the same as those men. Are you afraid that this palace will be inconsistent or that you won't be able to govern the world? Do you think Gao Yang will let you go after knowing your identity? Or do you think you have the ability to escape? And...you How's your body?" Mrs. Hua looked sideways at Chu Yunxi, and asked with a smile as if she was sure of winning.

"How does Mrs. Hua think of my body now?" Chu Yunxi looked at Mrs. Hua expressionlessly and said.Lin Qi said that there was no cure for the strange poison, so she tried her best to forget the poison and feel better, but now Mrs. Hua mentioned it, could it be that she did it?Does she have an antidote?

"There is no solution, colorless and tasteless, but the poisoner has to administer the medicine strictly according to the dosage, and it has to be administered for three consecutive days. If one day is interrupted, the poison will not be effective. Can you guess who it is?" Mrs. Hua looked at Chu With a blank face, Yunxi continued to smile and said: "I also know that people who have no cure for poison can live for three years, but it is difficult to find it, so they say there is no cure. Tired and weak, he will cough up blood, and later he will look like a haggard, immortal. However, I have the "Tai Chi Pill" in my hand. Although it can't bring the dead back to life, it has a miraculous effect on those strange poisons in the world. After many twists and turns to get this pill, I wanted to make a deal with the queen, but unfortunately she refused! If you work for me, I will naturally treat you as my own, and the antidote is easy to say."

"How long has Mrs. Hua been planning? What are the chances of winning now?" Chu Yunxi asked calmly. It turned out that she had already entered the game and had no way out.

"How long has it been planning? Haha, if the queen mother hadn't stopped him back then, he wouldn't have been able to sit on the throne, and I wouldn't have tolerated that little girl Gao Yang being presumptuous in front of her." Mrs. Hua smiled arrogantly and arrogantly. but it felt like she was sad.Mrs. Hua continued: "If you ask about the odds, I don't say that I will win, but that person's throne has come to an end! The Jingwei Battalion, the Imperial Forest Army and the border guards, most of the Huaxia soldiers are in the hands of my palace. Who can win?" What's wrong with this palace?"

Chu Yunxi stopped talking. Although the emperor had taboos on those frontier guards, he was powerless to change anything. Moreover, Mrs. Hua was a woman with the blood of the Huangfu family. No one would think that Mrs. Hua would want to usurp the throne!Mrs. Hua made the border states grow stronger, but she secretly bought the Jingwei camp and Yulin army in the capital.

Last time about Xiao Wei, why the eldest princess and her husband dared to offend Chu Yunxi and the eldest princess was because her husband was the governor of the [-] Imperial Forest Army and a close minister of the emperor.

The Imperial Forest Army has a pro-army Duwei Mansion, commanding the five guards of the center, left, right, front, and rear, specializing in the defense of the imperial city.The [-] imperial guards are led by the eunuchs around the emperor, and they are the army of the emperor and the prince. The imperial guards are responsible for protecting the safety of the emperor and the prince, while the Imperial Forest Army is responsible for the safety of the place where the emperor lives and guards the four gates of the imperial city.The essential difference is that the Imperial Forest Army is the first layer of protection, and the Imperial Guard is the second layer of protection closer to the emperor.

The imperial guards usually guarded the gates of the palace, and when the emperor was on tour, they served as the guards of the imperial camp. Mrs. Hua would not buy them, but the Imperial Forest Army and the Jingwei camp outside the city did not know how much they were infiltrated and bought by Mrs. Hua.The strongest combat power in China is the 60 elite soldiers of the four battalions of the Jingwei Battalion. It is also the place where many descendants of aristocratic families practice and generals seize power; Facing the enemy, you can't move at will; the highest paid army is the imperial army and the imperial army. The imperial army has a high degree of loyalty, but their number is small. Who should obey, whoever is the emperor is more beneficial to the family, and whoever they may become swordsmen.

Now if Mrs. Hua raises an army to usurp the throne, who can contend?Even if Chu Yunxi mobilized the army of the border towns, he would not be able to quench his thirst, and perhaps it would cause turmoil in the world and military chaos!Moreover, her life and death are still in Mrs. Hua's hands, what should I do now?

"Since Mrs. Hua has a chance of winning, what can I help?" Chu Yunxi looked at Mrs. Hua.

Mrs. Hua was about to speak, when she suddenly heard countless screams and running sounds from outside, and countless voices shouted "Fire!" "There are assassins!" "Help!"

There was chaos outside, and the sound of weapons fighting could be heard from the aisle outside the door.Chu Yunxi and Mrs. Hua looked at each other in astonishment and bewilderment.Chu Yunxi immediately turned around to look for the weapons in his hands, but unfortunately this room was a suite, spacious and gorgeous but there were no sharp objects that could hurt people, not even a knife for peeling fruit.Chu Yunxi had no choice but to lift a chair leg upside down and approach the door. At this time, the sound of fighting was approaching the door. Mrs. Hua followed her calmly with her hands empty.

The door was suddenly slammed open, dozens of people were fighting together outside the door, and two bearded men with scimitars were smashed in. They were five big and three thick, and their faces were still stained with blood. Looking at the people in the room, they crawled When I got up, I wanted to rush over.When Chu Yunxi saw it, he was startled. Seeing those deep eyes and high bridge of nose, he recognized at a glance that he was from Xirong Hu, and without any hesitation, he quickly picked up the chair and greeted him. The two men had just crawled up. When she came and swung the knife, Chu Yunxi swept the chair and swept one on the ground. She used all her strength and heard the sound of bones cracking when she smashed it. The man folded his arms and screamed, but the other rolled to Hua Ma'am!

Mrs. Hua was taken aback, and hurriedly ran towards Chu Yunxi, but unfortunately she ran a little slower, as soon as the bearded machete was pulled out, Mrs. Hua let out a scream, which was mixed with the chaos outside.Chu Yunxi rushed over, and a chair smashed the bearded man's head to blood. Madam Hua fell to the ground, clutching her bloody calf, her face pale.Chu Yunxi looked at the people who were still blocking the door and beating them. She could already see the thick smoke rising from the door, and the air was full of burnt and pungent kerosene smell.She tore off a large piece of sleeve, and quickly bandaged Mrs. Hua's wound. Mrs. Hua's face was distorted in pain, but luckily she didn't scream.

"Where's your guard? Isn't he so little like you?" Chu Yunxi asked with a stiff face and a smile.

"They're all... all downstairs, I guess... no... didn't make it up!" Mrs. Hua grinned her teeth in pain, her expression distorted.

Chu Yunxi stopped talking, took out a handkerchief from his arms, soaked it in wine, covered his nose, picked up a scimitar, and prepared to rush out for his life.Rushing to the door, seeing that there were only three beards left outside the door besieging the two guards, he directly chopped one with a knife.He looked up and saw everywhere outside, kerosene and poisonous smoke together, and those barbarians who committed murder, some fought with the attendants, and some swung knives in the crowd. Everyone was in a mess. Only them, the first and second floors have become as miserable as purgatory.Furong Courtyard’s golden walls are magnificent and ingenious, but it is a three-story wooden building. After being soaked in kerosene, the fire can quickly rise violently. Impossible.

With murderous eyes in his eyes, Chu Yunxi turned around and cut down the last barbarian, but the two attendants were lying on the ground, unable to get up, Chu Yunxi hurried into the room, the floor of the room was already hot, Mrs. Hua supported the door frame Going up, she stared blankly outside, her hair was a little messy, the skirt of her lower body was cut by a knife, and was stained with blood, and she was in a panic. When she saw Chu Yunxi coming in, her eyes turned red, but she didn't say anything.

Chu Yunxi rushed into the room, pulled out the bed sheet and quilt, tied the two corners together and connected them into a rope, and ran out with her arms in her arms.Just now Chu Yunxi looked at the stage that went up to the second floor, and the third floor was some distance away from the stage that stopped in the air. Chu Yunxi tied the stitched bed sheet to the railings, and the bed sheet just hung down to the second floor. He looked at Mrs. Hua not far away, at the injury on her leg, and at her expression, but didn't move.She could swing to the stage, but Mrs. Hua, who had an injured leg and was fragile, would definitely not be able to make it through. It would be difficult for her to climb up to the second floor along the sheets. What should I do?The fire is getting more and more intense. If Mrs. Ruohua is burned to death at this time, it may save a lot of trouble, but these barbarians should be coming for her. If she refuses to save her, she can be regarded as a murderer.

The fire was raging, the poisonous smoke was billowing, and there were screams all around. Chu Yunxi looked at Mrs. Hua hesitantly, should he save her or not?
