Chapter 149 Eight Treasures Makeup 03

In the Chongzheng Hall, Emperor Jianhe looked at Huo Weilou, who had obviously lost a lot of weight, with a complicated expression. After Huo Weilou saluted, Emperor Jianhe immediately ordered the imperial physician to come and see his injuries.

The warm sun shone in from the clear window lattice, adding a bit of youthful vitality to this slightly tired sick face. The imperial doctor untied Huo Weilou's lapel, and then untied the white cotton wrapped around his chest. Soon, A hideous and scabbed wound was exposed.

Emperor Jianhe had lived in a dignified life for many years. His heart was shocked by this wound, and cold sweat broke out from his palms for no apparent reason.

The imperial doctor looked at him for a moment, then turned around and said, "The injury to Mr. Hou was caused by poisoning. I'm afraid it also hurt his heart. If Mr. Hou can detoxify this poison, he must have gone through unbearable suffering. Now he is fine. It's true." It's God's blessing. Although the wound has scabbed, it will take at least two months to fully heal. As for whether the poison in the Marquis' body has been completely eliminated, it still needs to be carefully examined."

Huo Weilou tugged at his pale and chapped lips, tied the flap, lifted his robe and knelt down, "Your Majesty, I beg your pardon——"

Emperor Jianhe's eyelids twitched, "Dangerous building, what are you guilty of?"

Huo Weilou lowered his eyebrows and spoke in a hoarse voice, "Southwestern gold ointment has been popular for a long time. Although the drug control was initially effective, it has not been completely wiped out. Moreover, I did not handle it properly this time, which made the southwest mountain people rise. After the rebellion, I detoxified and sobered up, and then I heard that the southwest garrison had been fighting against the rebels for many days, and could hardly advance. This is my crime."

Emperor Jianhe's tongue was numb and he didn't know how to answer the question. Huo Weilou said again: "I know that all the officials in the court have complained about my trip. Moreover, both of your highnesses are now in their twenties, so you can It is difficult for Your Majesty to serve as His Majesty's arm. I am willing to hand over the power of direct envoy. I also ask Your Majesty to forgive me and give me a few months to recuperate in the mansion and reflect on myself."

Emperor Jianhe took a breath, gritted his teeth and said: "You child, it is difficult to make gold ointment banned in the southwest. If it were done by someone else, I'm afraid it would not be as good as yours. Above the court, I just don’t know your whereabouts and worry about your life and death. How can I complain? Not only are you not guilty this time, but you have also made great achievements. As for your two cousins, hey, you have been in trouble for more than a month. In order to stabilize the hearts of the government and the people, I ordered The second child is sitting in the Zhizhi Division, but he is useless."

Emperor Jianhe stood up from his throne, walked to Huo Wei Tower, and helped him up in a friendly manner, "You have suffered this time, and it is not a problem to recover from your injuries. Don't say any more words of apology. You have been great for these years." Zhou Ju worked hard and for a moment made me forget that you are only a year or two older than those two useless people. I am the king and your uncle. If there is any discussion in the court, how can I not protect you? ?"

Huo Weilou looked grateful, "Uncle..."

Emperor Jianhe patted Huo Weilou on the shoulder and said, "Everyone says that my nephew is like my uncle. I have watched you grow up since you were a child. I treat you like my own son. It's not that you don't know. This time, your life and death are unknown, and I don't know either. I am really worried and have a lot of gray hairs. Now that you are back, my heart is settled in my belly. Your mother is so ill. If something happens to you because of my orders, then I am really shameless. To your mother."

Huo Weilou stopped talking, and Emperor Jianhe smiled gently and said: "Not only will I not punish you, but I will also reward you. I want to let the government and the public know that no matter how outsiders criticize you, I will not disbelieve you."

Huo Wei Tower was greatly shaken, and Emperor Jianhe asked with a smile: "What do you want?" He thought for a moment, "You have been a marquis for five years, and you have made many contributions over the years. I will reward you with some gold and silver treasures. I also know that those things are unacceptable to you, so I thought, although this dynasty has rules not to grant kings with different surnames, you are not an outsider——"

"Your Majesty, I don't dare." Huo Weilou quickly declined.

When Emperor Jianhe heard this, he insisted on this idea. Huo Weilou hesitated for a moment and said sincerely: "Your Majesty's favor, I dare not refuse, but the ancestral rules are there. If Your Majesty breaks the rules because of me, I have really become a sinner of the Great Zhou Dynasty. If your Majesty really wants to reward me, I have a request——"

Emperor Jianhe narrowed his eyes slightly, "Huh? What is it?"

"I would like to ask your Majesty to grant me a marriage."

Emperor Jianhe raised his eyebrows slightly, as if he was a little surprised, but thinking of what he knew before, his eyes showed interest, "Marriage? Are you talking about the girl from the Bo family?"

Huo Weilou nodded, "Exactly-"

Emperor Jianhe thought for a while, with a look of disgust on his face, "If I remember correctly, the Bo family has been convicted and now is no longer an official. How can such a girl be your official wife?"

His eyes moved slightly and he stared at Huo Weilou, "I have thought of a marriage for you."

"Your Majesty——"

"General Zhenguo has been in charge of the army in the northwest for many years. He is a loyal minister and general of our Great Zhou Dynasty. He is also half of your mentor. He now has a little granddaughter in his house. She is sixteen years old. It is time to discuss marriage. I plan to give it to you. She is granted the title of county head, and she is a perfect match for your wife. As for the other people you like, no matter who they are, you can directly take charge of them and bring them into the palace, and just give them a title."

Emperor Jianhe looked calm, as if he had thought of this for a long time. After speaking, he felt satisfied and smiled happily.

Huo Weilou was quite helpless and boldly said: "Your Majesty wants to grant the title of county lord and no one can be granted title, so why not grant the title of Miss Bo's family?"

Emperor Jianhe raised his eyebrows, "Are you determined?"

Huo Weilou coughed lightly, and his handsome face turned pale. Emperor Jianhe saw it in his eyes, and suddenly laughed loudly, "It's rare that it made you stupid idiot think." He slowly returned to the throne, "Although being granted the title of county lord is nothing, but someone in her clan has just been convicted, and her status is low, so there is no excuse."

"Your Majesty, this is not difficult——"

Huo Weilou said with a slightly solemn expression: "This golden ointment is undercurrent in the capital. Without her help, I'm afraid it will be a few months later before the poison is discovered. By then, the capital will probably become like the southwest." , is really a great disaster for the country."

Emperor Jianhe didn't know what he was thinking about, and he always hesitated to answer. Huo Weilou looked at Emperor Jianhe with some earnestness, and couldn't help but said: "Uncle, Weilou has never asked you for help since he was a child."

Emperor Jianhe frowned and looked at Huo Weilou up and down, "What kind of girl is it that has stolen your soul?"

Huo Weilou spread his hands and said, "Uncle refuses, let alone Hun'er, my life is gone."

Emperor Jianhe had a look of disbelief on his face. Huo Weilou lifted his robe and knelt down again, "If uncle doesn't respond, then I won't be able to kneel down today."

Emperor Jianhe laughed angrily at him, "After all, he is also the famous Marquis Wu Zhaohou, is he so ridiculous?"

Huo Weilou looked at him fiercely, "Then uncle agreed?"

Emperor Jianhe sighed, "You've already cheated, what else can I do?"

Huo Weilou's face showed the joy that only a young man can have, and he bowed to the ground, "Thank you uncle, thank you so much, your majesty, your majesty is wise——"

Emperor Jianhe laughed and scolded him and asked him to stand up, and said: "Although I am responding to you, it is not enough to just issue an imperial order. You go back to recover first. I also have errands for you to make plans for. Let me think about it. Well, of course I won’t disappoint you."

Huo Weilou thanked him again and again, and Emperor Jianhe left him in the imperial study room to discuss matters for half an hour before driving him back to the palace.

As soon as Huo Weilou left, Emperor Jianhe ordered the imperial doctor to come in. The imperial doctor said: "Wu Zhaohou's injury is real, and what I just said is not an exaggeration. There are many strange poisons in the southwest. Wu Zhaohou's injury is in his heart. That poison It is very easy to enter the heart, meridians, and internal organs, and I can see that his injured area is slightly dented, as if the flesh and blood have been removed, so he must have suffered a lot."

The cold expression on Emperor Jianhe's face turned slightly. After the imperial doctor stepped back, he sighed, "What do you think? Is he real or fake?"

The **** Fuquan who was standing by the side bowed and said: "Whether it is true or not, it is in line with your wishes. Although the Marquis is young and has an extraordinary temperament, it would be a good thing if he knows how to measure. ."

Emperor Jianhe leaned on the throne tiredly, "If I were ten years younger, I would have lost his current momentum, but I'm afraid that if I can't get rid of him, I would force him to rebel, and I would lose the country." Who can I leave to him to suppress him?"

Fuquan did not dare to answer, and Emperor Jianhe was silent for a long time before he said: "Go and check the details of that girl from the Bo family, the more detailed the better. If she is really rootless and unreliable, just let her go. ”

Huo Weilou walked out of the dark door of Xuanwu Gate and waited until he reached the brightly lit place. Then he looked back at the towering tower behind him. A sharp light flashed in his eyes. He sneered lightly and quickly got on the carriage. .

The door of Wu Zhaohou's mansion opened wide, and it regained its former vitality. As soon as Huo Weilou entered the mansion, he saw Mr. Fu waiting inside. Behind him, stood Huo Qinghong's family of three. Seeing him come back, Huo Guogong The couple looked relaxed, Huo Qinghong looked at him with red eyes, and hesitated to step forward.

With a warm feeling in his heart, he walked up to Huo Qinghong and patted him **** the back. Huo Qinghong was caught off guard and staggered by the pat. Huo Weilou shook his head, "Now that he's healed, he should practice his body." If you practice, you are so weak that you are worse than a woman."

Huo Qinghong scratched his head and did not dare to say anything. Only then did Huo Weilou explain to Huo Cheng about the southwest group. Naturally, he said what he could, and Huo Cheng was filled with sighs.

He ordered Fu Shui to be sent to Huo Weilou to wash away the dust and dullness. After a lot of trouble, the family had lunch at the Hou Mansion and then returned home. Huo Qinghong did not leave, but he hesitated to say anything. Beside Huo Weilou.

Huo Weilou read the official document for a moment and couldn't help but raise his forehead when he saw his appearance, "What do you want to say?"

Huo Qinghong was a little embarrassed, "Big brother... Big brother said before that he would find me a job in the court, but does it still count?"

Huo Weilou raised his eyebrows, "Are you willing to do business?"

Huo Qinghong nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, and Huo Weilou pondered for a moment, "Is there a government office you want to go to?"

Huo Qinghong rolled his eyes, "I've thought about it, the six departments are based on seniority. In daily life, everything is complicated and hard, so I'm afraid I won't be able to do it. If I want to join the army, it's even less possible. The Five Temples and Nine Temples are more relaxed. Among them, Taichang Temple is the most leisurely..."

Huo Weilou looked at him with a look worthy of yours. Huo Qinghong said cautiously: "What do you think, brother?"

"Not bad." Huo Weilou nodded and called Fu An in to give instructions.

Fu'an was very happy to see that Huo Qinghong had improved a lot than before. Soon the dressing would need to be changed, but Huo Qinghong still wouldn't leave. When he saw Huo Weilou's injury, Huo Qinghong's eyes turned red again, and Huo Weilou He looked helpless and resisted scolding him.

Not long after, it was announced from outside that Bo Ruoyou had arrived.

Huo Qinghong's eyes brightened slightly, "Youyou is here?"

Huo Weilou was asking people to put away the medicine. Hearing this, he frowned dissatisfied, "You should change the name."

Huo Qinghong was a little confused, and Huo Weilou said, "It's time to call me sister-in-law."

Huo Qinghong's eyes suddenly widened, and Huo Weilou looked at him calmly, as if he should have done this a long time ago.

Soon, Bo Ruoyou walked in from the outside. At the end of autumn and early winter, she was wearing a sky-blue long skirt with wide sleeves. She had bright eyes and was gentle and graceful. Seeing that he was here, Bo Ruoyou was not surprised. She was just lucky. After the blessing, "The prince is also here."

Huo Qinghong subconsciously took a step back. This situation made Bo Ruoyou confused. She looked at Huo Weilou in confusion. Huo Weilou stared at Huo Qinghong. Huo Qinghong gritted his teeth and said, "Sister-in-law—— ”

Bao Ruoyou was even more surprised and a little embarrassed. He didn't know how to answer. However, Huo Weilou felt satisfied and waved his hand, "Okay, there is no rush to go to the Yamen. You can go as soon as you have arranged it." Go back home."

"Oh." Huo Qinghong dared not say anything in anger. He also felt that his stay was quite dazzling. He glanced at Bao Ruoyou for a moment and left in despair.

Bo Ruoyou blushed and said, "How could Lord Marquis let the prince call me that way?"

Huo Weilou stepped forward and took her into his arms, "Sooner or later, you will change your mind, not to mention there are no outsiders."

Bo Ruoyou couldn't laugh or cry, and asked again: "Is it going to be smooth for the Marquis to enter the palace to meet the saint?"

Huo Weilou licked his lips and said, "It goes well. I have asked Your Majesty for a marriage, and there will be a decree in a few days."

Since he mentioned this, he really knew how to do it. Bo Ruoyou was not surprised. He just thought that as soon as the marriage was announced, the two of them were really going to get married. She was still a little dazed in her heart. When she was stunned, Huo Weilou He picked her up and walked to the couch to sit down.

When she came back to her senses, she was already sitting on his lap. She was tall and tall among women, but she still looked small and exquisite in his arms. He had become interested in it recently and always liked to hold her close when he was alone. Holding him in his arms, she protested several times to no avail, so she let him go.

He kissed her on the cheek, "What's wrong? It's too late to regret now."

His voice was gentle, his eyes were smiling, and he was becoming more and more handsome. Bao Ruoyou tilted his head and thought for a while, "I just don't know when the wedding will be? It seems to be sooner."

"Quickly? It's not fast enough. His Majesty has doubts in his heart and is trying to find ways. Otherwise, I don't want to wait for these red tapes."

Seeing the disapproval on Bo Ruoyou's face, Huo Weilou changed his tone again, "Of course, since you want a marriage, you must be polite and considerate. The wedding date must be monitored by Qin Tian. According to my wishes , the best in years."

Bao Ruoyou was a little uncomfortable, as he didn't say this so carelessly, but Huo Weilou looked at her face so close and couldn't help but whisper something in her ear.

Bao Ruoyou was stunned for a moment, and a blush suddenly appeared on his face. He struggled to get away from his arms. Huo Weilou hugged her and refused to let her go. He said in the middle of his mouth: "Okay, okay, I won't say anything anymore." , I can bear it, I can bear it."

……

Huo Qinghong walked out of the gate of the Hou Mansion, turned back, looked at the gate of the Hou Mansion with a sour face, and got into the carriage dejectedly for a moment. He originally wanted to go back to the house, but then he thought about it and ordered the carriage to go to the "Bird Garden" "go.

The Bird Garden is located in the southwest of the capital. It is an exquisite garden that raises precious birds. The owner of the garden is Zhao Yue, the son of the late Prince Xian, who was granted the title of Prince of Nan'an. Feng Ye had given him a gift earlier. The birds were obtained from the Bird Garden.

Five days ago, the bird suddenly became weak and refused to drink or drink. Huo Qinghong was a soft-hearted person after all. After having the bird for a few days, he couldn't bear to watch the bird starve to death. Knowing that he was probably sick, he Send someone to ask Feng Ye for a doctor who can treat birds.

Then Feng Ye came to the door and took him to the Bird Garden.

There is a craftsman in the Bird Garden who specializes in treating rare birds. Zhao Yue and Huo Qinghong are old acquaintances, so he asked him to keep the birds in the garden for a few days and then pick them up after they were raised. , Huo Qinghong wanted to see if the bird was well raised today.

The carriage drove slowly, and when it arrived at the Bird Garden, it was already sunset. He was the prince of the Duke's palace, so the concierge respectfully invited him in. He also said that the prince was hosting a banquet in the garden today. It was a good time. Hangout.

Huo Qinghong was feeling depressed. In the past, it would have been just right for him to have these noble gentlemen gathering together to drink and have fun. But now that he has changed his temper, he is too lazy to socialize and only wants to take away the birds.

The attendant invited him to sit down in the side hall, and then called the Prince of Nan'an County. While waiting for a while, Huo Qinghong went out bored to look at the scenery in front of him. It was already late autumn, but the garden was still full of greenery. What magic tricks did the craftsmen use? There are actually some flowers and plants that can only be seen in spring and summer.

Suddenly, Huo Qinghong was attracted by a colorful glimmer of light in the distance.

It is a century-old osmanthus tree with knotted branches. Now the osmanthus flowers are in full bloom, with a fragrant fragrance. The yellow pistils are like stars clustering on the branches. It is considered a grand scene from a distance, but just on the osmanthus tree, a touch of The colorful glimmer of light is shaking.

Huo Qinghong was amazed and walked along the path to the laurel tree. The closer he got, the more Huo Qinghong felt something was wrong. When he walked under the umbrella-like green shade, he finally saw I figured out where that colorful shimmer came from.

A piece of silk thread is tied to the slanting tree trunk, and a bird with colorful feathers hangs from the end of the thread.

The neck of the bird was strangled with silk thread until it was bleeding. The cold bird corpse was swaying in the wind. The afterglow of the setting sun falling between the treetops was projected on the gorgeous magpie feathers, creating a radiant light.

It was just a dead bird. Although it was similar to his bird, Huo Qinghong could tell it was different. However, somehow, a strange chill still came out of his back.
