Chapter 320 – Passionate Elder

Zhao Su was stunned. “Where did that come from?”

There was moonlight in the courtyard, the emperor put away the night pearl, picked up the big orange and headed out, “That day, the Weiyuan Hou and I faced off with real swords, and one bad move would result in someone getting hurt. The cat was leaping down from the wall on the side of the Marquis of Wei Yuan, disturbing my mind, so as the fact that has happened, the Marquis of Wei Yuan was in the dark, still applying guns to me, I was hit.

“If I ask for the crime to come down, or if I did not explain not to spread this matter out, then at this moment the Huo family is bound to be in deep water.”

Zhao Su followed up: “Then if you didn’t change your mind at that time, or regardless of taking the trick?”

“Then the Wei Yuan Hou who stepped back to avoid it would have been interfered with, and the injured person would have been him.”

The emperor stopped under the threshold and looked down in the moonlight, “If he was injured, then he would have guessed that I stabbed him when he had only just entered the capital, would this have been a downward spiral for him? Is it possible that he offended me somewhere and took the opportunity to warn him?

“I was originally as close to him as a brother and sister, but there is also a difference between a ruler and a subject, and once suspicion arises, then many practices will be irreparable.”

Zhao Su looked at his stoic face through a piece of bright moonlight, and did not return his words for a good few moments.

The Emperor’s hand caressed the large orange in his arms, “If this person is aiming for regicide, he shouldn’t strike at this time. So I guess, he should have other plans. But no matter what, to dare to make a move in the middle of the palace palace palace, he has already violated a major taboo.”

“Now then, should we let Han Jun pull this person out?”

The emperor rubbed the cat’s neck twice: “Now pull out, and can take him how? Even if we reveal his intentions, it will still look like a trumped up offense. Moreover, he is only a minion, his presence or absence does not affect anything.”

“Then what if he’s up to no good? You’re depending on them to keep you safe.”

“That’s easy. As long as the person is not in the courtyard, but also in the palace on duty, exclude the people who do not allow close to not on the line?”

The person who did this definitely wouldn’t be the person in the courtyard, he couldn’t be so skillful to hide from Han Jun and his dozens of people. It is not possible to be outside the palace, outsiders to enter the palace statutes are cumbersome, once the palace, but also can not find a way to come in unknowingly. So although the emperor is not going to seriously look for, but the scope can still be delineated.

Zhao Su pondered for a moment and nodded: “So there is a general range, but also be able to observe.”

The emperor raised his chin: “Go, send you out of the palace.”

Zhao Su to go and looked at the cat he was holding: “Strange poor, have to find a doctor for it, right?”

“Hold it out is to find a doctor to give it a look. –I hope the doctor can cure it.”

“Why don’t I take it out to find a veterinarian?”

I’m afraid the palace doctor might not be able to fix this guy.

“That’s fine.” The emperor sent the cat over, “Then cure it before taking it into the palace, and follow you, I’m afraid it will still be able to eat a few meals.”

……

The Huo family is a night guest, the temple is Guan Wenting visit, Huo Xiu asked about the progress of the case. Guan Wenting said the same as Duan Shu grasp, however, Guan also mentioned a point, according to the night was tracked “thieves” of the body, seems to have something to do with Luo Jiaquan. But since Guan Wenting had no evidence, it was still just a guess.

“Luo Family Fist?”

“It’s Zhaoyi General Luo Zeng, I don’t know if the Marquis recognizes it?”

Huo Xiu slightly silent, and then a low: “His Luo family and my father, there is a little bit of relationship.”

Guan Wenting eyes flashed: “Since the Marquis said, not to hide, I also thought of the old Marquis and Luo Zeng brother’s old story. However, no evidence in the next is not good to go to the door, depending on how the Marquis show.”

Huo Xiu drank two mouthfuls of tea, raised his lips and looked up, “Thank you.”

After sending off Guan Wenting, Huo Xiu paced along the hipped corridor under the moonlight back to the backyard. Passing by the east side of Huo Mingyu’s Chaoyang Xuan, he saw that the lights were still on inside, so he turned on his toes and walked inside. In the wide-open window, Huo Mingyu is still talking to her maid, and Huo Xiu says through the window, “You’re not resting this late, what are you doing?”

Huo Mingyu raises her head, then walks out: “A few days ago you accidentally injured the emperor, the empress dowager and the emperor didn’t say anything, and didn’t blame that big yellow cat, so you can see that you still can’t bear to part with it. After all, it is the empress dowager’s favorite pet, I refused the empress dowager to stay in the palace to live with the beauty of that it leg injury, I will find some medicine to, tomorrow bring to the palace to give it a bandage bandage, or let the empress dowager’s heart some relief.”

Huo Xiu Dao: “But tomorrow we have to go to Marquis Jingnan’s residence as a guest.”

“So I will explain that Zisu and Hanxia will send the medicine to Ci Ning Palace and ask Eunuch Gao to take care of it for us.”

Huo Xiu nods and doesn’t say anything else, saying “Sleep early” before leaving the courtyard.

Huo Mingyu returned to the house, and continued to ask the maid: “You just said that Yu Qingping had a feud with Miss Su from the Marquis of Qingyun?”

…… The next morning, Huo Mingyu really explained to the maids to go to the palace, he packed up and went out with Huo Xiu to the Yu family.

Huo Xiu these two days although busy with human contacts, but also took a lot of time to ask about the case, today to go to the Yu family, Huo Mingyu know that he and the Marquis of Jingnan certainly have important things to discuss, they can only be with the Yu family female family well entertained, and so has long been the Yu family inherent in the situation inquired about a number of.

I heard that the second young lady Yu Qingyi likes to play the pipa, so she brought a silk string of excellent texture and a sinewy string commonly used by the Hu people as a gift. The third young miss of the concubine heard that she was good at making women’s red, so she prepared a box of brocade thread.

And Yu Qingping …… and Zhao Su s matter she had already heard yesterday night, naturally skipped over and could not be mentioned.

However, when she heard that there had been that much of a past between the two of them, Huo Mingyu still couldn’t help but be surprised for a moment. Because Yu Qingping was once Empress Dowager Lu’s guard, they had spent a year or two together before and after.

Yu Qingping’s strong and cold hardness she is aware of, did not think that the seemingly easy-going and generous Zhao Su would actually have a problem with her?

But the maids don’t know much, so she can’t know the details.

The Yu family has long been cleaned and waiting for their arrival, seeing the neatly trimmed flowers and trees in the courtyard, the new carpet in the hall, the new brocade cushions placed on the chairs, as well as the Yu family up and down the color of the neat and pleasant smile, Huo Mingyu is more certain that the Marquis of Jingnan treats her and Huo Xiu with sincere sincerity from the bottom of his heart.

For the preparation of Mrs. Marquis Qingyun is a more conventional gift, after all, is the elders, and there is no ingratiation, a few boxes of abalone ginseng and shark’s fins, within the rituals, but also very take the hand. After Marquis Jingnan led Huo Xiu to the study to talk, Mrs. Marquis Jingnan and Yu Qingyi led Huo Mingyu into the garden.

“Our marquis often talks about his friendship with your father and your mother, and when he heard that you had returned earlier, he had prepared to invite you to gather at his residence. It is specially set for today, and because the several dishes sent to be prepared will take some time.

“To be honest, I’ve never seen him prepare a banquet with such dedication.” Marquis Jingnan’s wife conversationally pulls Huo Mingyu to take a seat, “I purposely didn’t invite anyone else for the sake of peace and quiet, so that county princess can feel more comfortable.”

When Huo Mingyu hears this, she remembers the grand arrangements of the Marquis of Qingyun, and wonders if she’s overthinking it, but Mrs. Marquis Jingnan’s words seem to be a bit of an innuendo.

She doesn’t care for the moment, and presents the gifts she brought, and after seeing that only Yu Qingyi is there, she smiles and asks, “The third young lady of the house, I’ve seen less of her in the past, so if it’s convenient, why don’t you ask her to come out to meet you and have a chat?”
