Hai Ruyue was panic-stricken after hearing this. Did Niu Youdao really go to Bingxue Pavilion and steal the Red Sun Fruit? How brave would he be to do such a thing?
She was a little suspicious. Niu Youdao did tell her secretly that he wanted to get the Chiyang Zhuguo for her, and then he did go to the Ice and Snow Pavilion. Now something happened with the Chiyang Zhuguo.
But thinking about it, it seems impossible. First of all, Niu Youdao did not give her the Red Sun Fruit. Secondly, as long as Niu Youdao is not stupid, he should know that she would not dare to use the Red Sun Fruit stolen from the Ice and Snow Pavilion.
?It’s almost like courting death!
"Who spread this rumor to harm people?" Hai Ruyue asked, "Is it still the Shao family in Beizhou?"
It was the Shao family's revelation of Chiyang Zhuguo that was going to harm Niu Youdao, and she will never forget it.
Li Wuhua: "No matter who wants to harm whom, if you are upright, you are not afraid of the shadow. As long as there is no problem on our side, we will not be blamed..." As he spoke, his eyes fell on Hai Ruyue's sweat-dampened thin clothes, white and tender skin.
The fine beads of sweat on the face are looming and graceful.
This was the first time I saw her looking so alluring, and her breathing gradually became a little strange.
Hai Ruyue noticed something was wrong. Seeing that he was still thinking about it, she felt relieved knowing that nothing would happen. She was so nervous just now.
Li Wuhua gave Li Wuhua a blank look, turned around and left.
Li Wuhua grabbed her arm, pulled her back, and turned her over on the long desk aside...
Hearing something strange in the house, the two maids standing at the door looked at each other with their heads bowed, turned around together, reached into the house and closed the door to prevent anyone from seeing the indecent scene.
In fact, some things are already open secrets to some people in the house. It's no surprise that everyone knows that the eldest princess is a bit messy in this regard.
It's just that no one dares to gossip about this matter. Several servants who don't understand the rules have been beaten to death.
Then again, a woman who is as beautiful as a flower and has no worries about food and clothing is unlikely to be widowed.
But at this moment, a sharp shout came from the house: "Who is this!"
The two people who were entangled in the room with their shirts half-unbuttoned and half-undressed were startled. They quickly stood up and separated. They lost their sense of elegance and quickly tidied up their clothes.
Li Wuhua was the first to open the door and jumped out. He saw several disciples of Wandong Tianfu standing on the eaves outside, looking up into the sky.
Li Wuhua dodged and flew to the roof, where he saw three giant birds circling and flying above the Governor's Mansion, with two people standing on each bird.
This kind of bird can easily cost tens of millions of gold coins, not to mention three of them appearing at once, and looking at the handsome appearance of those three birds, it seems that they are not ordinary birds.
Who is it? All the Wandong Tianfu disciples who showed up in the mansion were surprised and doubtful. The first thing they guessed was whether it was someone from the imperial palace in the capital of Zhao Kingdom.
The arrival's formation made the people here afraid to move rashly for a while.
The three birds seemed to have found a place to stay, and they spiraled down towards the garden one by one.
Some of the Wandong Tianfu disciples on the roof stayed behind to guard against anyone taking advantage of the situation, while others quickly flew towards the garden like Li Wuhua.
A group of people flashed into the garden, and the people on the bird jumped down.
A woman in gray with gray hair on her temples slowly walked in the garden, followed by a woman and four men.
The woman in gray looked calm, but her restrained and arrogant tone was very obvious. She looked like she didn't even pay attention to the Wandong Tianfu disciples around her, as if this was her garden. Let's take a look around.
It looks like no one can care about it.
Not only the woman in gray, but also the few people behind her clearly didn't take the people here seriously.
Li Wuhua was highly vigilant and stepped forward to ask, "Who is coming?"
The woman in gray clothes walked to a group of flowers, held the branches to admire the flowers, and without looking back, she casually said, "Ice and Snow Pavilion, ice!"
Hanbing? I have heard his name for a long time but have never seen him before. Li Wuhua took a breath of cold air. The general manager of Ice and Snow Pavilion came in person?
The woman behind Han Bing showed him a crystal-clear Ice and Snow Pavilion token to prove her identity.
No wonder there was such a huge formation! The aura of the Ten Thousand Cave Tianfu disciples around them who were staring at him with eager eyes instantly vanished into thin air.
Li Wuhua's elderly demeanor disappeared in an instant. His face was full of anxiety. He quickly stepped forward and bowed, "Elder Li Wuhua of Wandong Tianfu, pay your respects to the chief manager!"
At this moment, Hai Ruyue also hurried over with Zhu Shun and others to see the situation.
A group of people suddenly came in disorder, and Li Wuhua quickly winked at Hai Ruyue, signaling not to be rude.
When Hai Ruyue saw the three handsome birds, Li Wuhua, who was usually arrogant and arrogant, became like a good grandson. She immediately realized that the person coming was not simple, raised her hand to signal, and everyone in the group stopped and looked at them.
"Wandong Tianfu?" Han Bing muttered to himself, nodded slightly, released his hand from the flower branch, and asked: "Is the person in charge of the Governor's Mansion here?"
Li Wuhua immediately walked quickly to Hai Ruyue and whispered the identity of the visitor.
Hai Ruyue was startled, and she stepped forward tremblingly and saluted: "Hai Ruyue, the widow of Jinzhou, pays homage to the chief manager."
Han Bing looked thoughtful, slowly turned back, stared at her up and down, "What a charming beauty, are you Hai Ruyue, Princess Zhao?"
Hai Ruyue half-crouched and said, "Exactly."
Hanbing looked at her and nodded: "This is not the first time we have met."
Li Wuhua was surprised, had they met before? He didn't know him, so why hadn't he heard Hai Ruyue mention it before?
Hai Ruyue nodded: "I heard my mother mentioned that Ruyue was young at the time."
"Yes!" Han Bing suddenly sighed with emotion: "I didn't know that I was old until I saw you. It must have been more than thirty years ago. Your father had just ascended the throne as emperor. When I went to the Zhao Kingdom Palace with my master, you and I
Around your parents, you were probably only this tall at that time." He raised his hand at his waist to roughly compare his height, "You have grown so big in the blink of an eye. Back then, you could tell he was a beauty at first sight, and as expected, he is beautiful."
Only then did Li Wuhua understand what the so-called understanding was about.
Hai Ruyue said hurriedly: "In front of the chief manager, you are just a vulgar fan."
Han Bing: "I heard that you have a child, but the child is not in good health?"
Li Wuhua and Hai Ruyue both felt a twitch in their hearts. Sure enough, it was about Chiyang Zhuguo, and they were both uneasy.
Hai Ruyue was extremely worried and replied: "Yes! The child has been plagued by illness."
Han Bing: "Let me see how the child is doing?"
"Yes!" Hai Ruyue dared not refuse, and quickly waved to Zhu Shun to bring someone over.
Zhu Shun left in a hurry, and Hai Ruyue invited Han Bing to have some tea.
Han Bing waved his hand, not interested, and wandered in the garden. Hai Ruyue and others had no choice but to accompany them quietly, feeling tremendous pressure in their hearts.
Although they knew why the other party came and knew that there would be no problems with Xiao Tianzhen, no one knew what decision the Ice and Snow Pavilion would make.
Not long after, Xiao Tianzhen, who was still wearing thick clothes despite the warm weather, was brought to see the gift.
Looking at the pale boy with a bloodless face in front of him, one could tell at a glance that he was the kind who had been suffering from a long-term illness.
"Is he your son?" Han Bing asked meaningfully.
I understand what she means here, don't make a fake thing to fool me.
Hai Ruyue said hurriedly: "It's Quanzi. Many people in the city have seen him."
Han Bing nodded, understanding that these people would not dare to lie to him about this kind of thing. He stretched out his hand to Xiao Tianzhen and said with a kind smile: "Child, come here, give me your hand."
Xiao Tianzhen had already received Zhu Shun's instructions and knew that the person coming was someone that the entire Zhao Kingdom could not afford to offend. He pursed his lips and obediently showed his wrist.
Han Bing pinched his wrist to feel his pulse, closed his eyes and was silent for a while, finally opened his eyes and sighed softly, let go of his hand, and touched Xiao Tianzhen's head with compassion, "Suffer this child."
He turned around and said to Hai Ruyue: "It's not easy for you, girl."
Hai Ruyue's lips tightened. Just because of these words, she almost cried. She held it back, but her eyes turned red.
Seeing her like this, Han Bing pondered for a moment, as if thinking about what decision he had made, and sighed: "We are destined to meet again after more than thirty years. There are some things that I can't make the decision, and it's not easy to interfere randomly, but
It's okay to do some innocuous things occasionally. Girl, if you are willing to put down some things, if you are willing to take your children back to the capital and live a peaceful life, I can say hello to you, and no one will disturb your purity."
Li Wuhua immediately glanced at Hai Ruyue. If this woman really returned to the capital, the relationship between the two would probably be severed.
Zhu Shun, the housekeeper of the Xiao family, looked at Hai Ruyue and wondered what she would decide.
Hai Ruyue bit her lip, feeling a little moved for a moment but confused.
She understood what Han Bing meant. She used to worry that there would be trouble if she gave up her power and returned to the capital, but once the chief manager opened his mouth, those troubles should not exist.
But she didn't want to give up the power in her hands until she had to. She had experienced what it felt like to have no power and be manipulated by others, being randomly sent around like an object, and she had also experienced what it felt like to have power in hand.
Okay, let her hand over her power to others?
No one can predict what will happen in the future. Can a person's words protect him for a while or for a lifetime? It is easy to give up power now, but it will be difficult to pick it up again when encountering difficulties in the future. Nothing will be smooth sailing.
"After all, the Xiao family's family fortune is here. Marrying a chicken, marrying a dog, following a dog, is a blessing I enjoy, and a sin I suffer!" Hai Ruyue whispered, after all, she declined the moment that could change her fate, and declined Han Bing.
of good intentions.
Han Bing stared at her meaningfully, then nodded slightly, without forcing it, and returned his hand to touch Xiao Tianzhen's head, "Okay, I've seen my old friend pass by here, so it's time to go." After that, he turned and left.
.
Hai Ruyue hurriedly followed up, "How could the chief manager be in such a hurry and give Ruyue a chance to show his loyalty and filial piety to the landlord..."
Han Bing raised his hand to interrupt, "Don't bother, you don't feel comfortable with me here either."
Just as they came and went, three giant birds flapped their wings and flew into the sky, carrying six people and flying towards the sky.
Watching him off, Hai Ruyue was at a loss, with a look of loss on his face.
In silence, Zhu Shun took Xiao Tianzhen's hand and led him away silently.
The three brothers Li Wuhua looked at each other and heaved a sigh of relief. The matter seemed to be over and everything was fine.
