"When do you plan to force the palace?" He Xiangshu asked directly instead of Yang Shu beating around the bush.
Yang Shu raised his eyebrows, "Forcing the palace?"
"Why do you force me into the palace? I am a good citizen."
"Yang Shu, the Duke of Zhongguo has made his position clear, why are you still pretending now?" He Xiangshu's tone became colder as he held back his anger.
Yang Shu said nothing, raised his head and drank the wine, "Anyone who likes a mess like Jian'an will want it, but I don't like it anyway."
"Weapons, armor, and horses have arrived in Huining County. What I want is Gongzhou."
"I want Mr. Guo to see what the people want and how incompetent he is as an emperor."
"Aren't we all fighting for that chair? I'll just let it be in vain." Yang Shu said casually, as if this was just a small thing that could be done easily.
He Xiangshu was shocked by Yang Shu's arrogance, "You..."
"My prince has that ability." Yang Shu looked directly at He Xiangshu with a stern look in his eyes.
Instead of letting him pretend, he let He Xiangshu see how crazy he was.
He Xiangshu was silent for a long time and finally left.
The next day, the third master of the He family left Jian'an and embarked on the road to Gongzhou.
The materials that were originally transferred changed directions.
…
Time passed slowly, and one month passed in the blink of an eye. The atmosphere in the court was more solemn than before, and everyone had their own thoughts.
"Your Majesty, the ones escorting the silver coins are the Han family." Pai Gow came to Yang Shu and reported.
Ye Guo was in the wrong and had no legitimate reason to go to war, so he could only reduce the compensation offered by King Ding's palace.
But it was true that Yang Shu cut his finger. He didn't say anything and just gave it away.
In the end, Ye Guo compromised.
"Han family?"
Yang Shu touched his chin, "Do they want to collect Han Chi's body?"
"Tsk, can you find it?" Yang Shu looked at Pai Gow.
"Disaster."
"Let's take a look." Yang Shu wiped the sweat from his head. The weather was already cold and he couldn't bear the amount of exercise.
In Fuxiang Courtyard, Lu Yun looked at Liu Yun and moved his eyes to her belly.
"Still uncomfortable?" Lu Yun asked lightly.
Liu Yun was suffering from severe ecstasy some time ago, and she would vomit whatever she ate.
"Much better." Liu Yun poured a cup of tea for Lu Yun.
"How does it feel?"
Liu Yun chuckled, "You will know later. You will suffer a little, but you are looking forward to it in your heart."
"The prince is quite principled."
Lu Yun was even more beautiful than Feng Qingwan. Yang Shu was sleeping on the same bed with her, but he actually couldn't bear to touch her.
Lu Yun smiled and said, "He is quite strong."
"You are more generous than I thought." Liu Yun looked at Lu Yun, "I thought you would be at least a little unhappy."
"If there is a boy in my belly, it will definitely have an impact on my legitimate son."
Lu Yun sipped tea, "The prince has great ambitions, and his heirs can make those who follow him even more determined."
"If you can help him, he will be sober and will not cross the line. Even if you give birth to your eldest son, it doesn't matter."
"If you fight for the crown prince's harem, you will lose. He knows very well what should be given and what should not be given."
"Brotherhood will not appear in King Ding's palace."
Lu Yun's voice was calm, but Yang Shu was obsessed. Unless the son she gave birth to was truly unworthy, the most important thing must be for their son.
Yang Shu is not a poisonous person, and he will not provoke brothers to fight.
Liu Yun turned her eyes slightly and smiled, "Madam is young and can see things thoroughly."
"Aren't you afraid that I will be unwilling to accept it? After all, mothers are crazy for their children."
"I believe in the prince." Lu Yun gave the warm water to Liu Yun.
"He is indeed lucky." A woman who trusts her husband without fighting or grabbing can save many twists and turns for those who start an imperial career.
"You can only sit in the back seat." Liu Yun looked at Lu Yun intently.
"It's too far away. You have to hold back until things get done. After all, the prince is crazy enough."
Liu Yun chuckled, "If you listen carefully to this, he will keep it and accuse you, and ask you to give an explanation."
Lu Yun looked towards the door, "Do you always rely on him?"
"I can't help it. He will pretend to be pitiful and look hurt, as if you have done something heinous."
Lu Yun nodded in agreement, and the two got together to complain about Yang Shu.
Shooting out the arrow in his hand, Yang Shu sneezed. He was hiding so deeply, who cares about him?
"Your Majesty, Feng Shangshu has been quite active recently." Pai Gow handed the arrow to Yang Shu, "He has met with many officials openly and secretly."
Yang Shu drew the bow string, "This is because the emperor, who knows he has been deceived and knows that the matter will be leaked and turned into a joke, will not let go of the Feng family and take advantage of him before they take action."
"Father and son fighting, it's exciting to think about it." Yang Shu let go.
"What has Guo Qi done recently?"
"It's very quiet. I go to the temple every three days. It seems that I have seen through the world." Pai Gow replied.
Yang Shu raised his eyelids, "I prefer to believe that the emperor loves his people like his own children and values love and justice."
Shaking his head, Yang Shu handed the bow to Pai Gow and walked toward Huanhe Courtyard.
Lu Yun just came back.
"Let's go take a shower first." Lu Yun looked at Yang Shu's sweaty clothes and said, knowing that Yang Shu practiced martial arts every day and the water room had been prepared with water since early morning.
Whenever Yang Shu finished, he could immediately change out of his sweat-soaked clothes.
The weather turned cold, so Lu Yun took out the brocade robe from his suitcase and gave it to Yang Shu.
Although the two of them didn't consummate their marriage, they saw everything they shouldn't.
In the bathroom, Yang Shu picked up the bucket and rushed down.
Lu Yun was helpless and wanted convenience.
Lu Yun got a dry cloth and wiped the water from Yang Shu's body and hair.
"Exercise with weights every day and take a dip to feel better."
"The bathhouse in Huining County is ready, I will definitely take a bath then." Yang Shu promised.
Lu Yun rubbed his ears. This person definitely didn't use the bath for bathing.
Lowering his head, Yang Shu kissed Lu Yun's lips and tasted it before letting him go.
"The palace banquet in the day after tomorrow, gifts are just a process. Our family is not rich, so just give it a thought." Yang Shu put on his belt and chatted.
Lu Yun wiped his hair and said, "No matter how unwilling you are, you still have to look good."
"There is a picture of Wen Songzi's spring scene in the warehouse, which is just right."
"Madam, I remember Wen Songzi's paintings are very expensive."
"Well, it's hard to find a piece of gold." Lu Yun adjusted Yang Shu's collar.
"Thousands of gold!" Yang Shu broke his voice.
Lu Yun smiled and said, "It's not an authentic work. You snatched it back from Jiang Qi."
"With your husband's talent, it's normal that you can't tell the truth from the false. Even if they find out, they won't say anything."
Yang Shu raised her eyebrows, "Madam, I always feel that this is not a compliment to me."
"The chicken soup has been warmed in the kitchen. I'll ask Mo Mei to bring it over." Lu Yun raised her feet to leave, but was hugged by Yang Shu.
"I won't let you do anything to make me look like a big bad wolf." Yang Shu nibbled Lu Yun's tender earlobe, suppressing his smile.
The food in Dingwang's Mansion is good, and there are enough fresh fruits and vegetables. Lu Yun's complexion is far beyond that of Wuweihou's Mansion.
When you look up, you are so beautiful that you are in a trance.
"You really don't know what to do?" Lu Yun looked at Yang Shu.
"Your husband is so handsome, it's inevitable that the wife can't help herself." Yang Shu smiled innocently.
Lu Yun pinched his nose and knew it was like this.
Lu Yun stepped forward and kissed her.
