Chapter 737 Rumors Arise
Cui Yu was not a fool, he saw through Ji Wushuang's true face at a glance.
Compared with Ji Wushuang, Ji Wuxin is just a simple novice.
There is no doubt that Ji Wushuang is more difficult to deal with. Ji Wuxin relied on her outstanding talent, while Ji Wushuang relied on her extraordinary wisdom.
The two pretended to finish the show, and then exchanged polite words for a quarter of an hour. During this period, Ji Wushuang kept drawing cakes, and finally Cui Yu said goodbye and left.
Looking at Cui Yu's retreating back, Ji Wushuang looked serious and sat in front of the window not knowing what to think.
After a long time, Ji Wushuang asked: "What do you think, sir?"
A figure walked out from behind the screen, it was Mr. Yu. At this time, Mr. Yu was dressed in green clothes and looked as gentle as jade. The strange eyes on his head had disappeared, and he seemed to be decades younger.
"Can't see clearly." Mr. Yu said after thinking for a while.
"Can't you see clearly?" Ji Wushuang was stunned: "Sir, your eyes can see the sky from above and the earth from below. All kinds of things in the world cannot escape your eyes. Is there anyone in this world that you can't see through?"
"This person is shrouded in the power of an inexplicable taboo. Every time I think about it, I just feel that there seems to be a great terror that can come at any time, so I can't see clearly!" Mr. Yu said with a serious face: "As expected of him. The powerful man who killed the Yangtze River Water God and turned the entire Lu Kingdom into ashes. Your Highness needs to be careful with this person. Although this person is only in the realm of supernatural powers, he has a big secret."
"What? Is this talent in the realm of supernatural powers?" Ji Wushuang was stunned when he heard this, his eyes filled with horror. He never expected that such a thing would happen.
outside world
The sky has turned dark, and the rain in the sky has not stopped. Cui Yu holds a purple bamboo umbrella, with a hint of murderous intent in his eyes: "Ji Wushuang cannot stay. This person tried to put me to death several times back then, and now it's time for revenge." .”
Cui Yu took one step forward and used his water escape to disappear into the world of rain.
But when Cui Yu appeared again, he was already in Tang Zhou's small courtyard.
"Why are you here in the middle of the night?" Tang Zhou was playing chess under the light. He turned to look at Cui Yu, his eyes full of astonishment.
"I'm here to tell you a secret." Cui Yu said with a smile.
"What secret?" Tang Zhou became interested and stopped the chess game in his hand.
"Ji Wushuang's physical body was destroyed. Now Ji Wushuang can barely survive by taking away an ordinary physical body." Cui Yu said with a smile.
"What?" Tang Zhou was stunned when he heard this, and looked at Cui Yu with a pair of horrified eyes. His eyes were full of surprise. He didn't know how Cui Yu knew.
Cui Yu smiled when he heard this: "How about this secret?"
"If this scandal spreads, the already flagging prestige of the Zhou royal family will be completely wiped out." Tang Zhou looked at Cui Yu with both eyes: "Did Ji Wushuang offend you?"
"I don't know the heights of the world, but I want to steal my printing and dyeing formula. Although I don't care about a mere printing and dyeing formula, it doesn't mean that I can be coveted by others." Cui Yu said.
Tang Zhou nodded when he heard this: "This matter is easy to handle, just leave it to me. Now you have made the Zhou royal family suffer. You must be careful. I'm afraid that the Emperor of Zhou will not be able to tolerate you."
"Can't you accommodate me?" Cui Yu smiled, his smile full of disdain: "By the way, after this sacrifice is completed, I will follow the Zhou royal family into the legendary royal secret. If you are interested in the Zhou royal family, If you are interested, I can find a way to bring you in."
Tang Zhou smiled when he heard this: "There's no need to bring me in, I naturally have the means."
After the two talked for a while, Cui Yu returned to the mansion and saw Jin Huairou sitting in the study waiting.
"Are you back?" Jin Huairou looked at Cui Yu with his eyes and hurriedly came forward with an eager expression.
After hearing Jin Huairou's words, Cui Yu smiled and nodded: "Mrs. You have been waiting for a long time."
Jin Huairou brought a cup of hot tea, and Cui Yu took a sip before asking: "Where is Zhuliu?"
"I caught him back and he is being locked up in the study." Jin Huaiju said.
"Grind ink for me." Cui Yu nodded thoughtfully and then gave instructions.
Jin Huairou hurriedly stepped forward to grind the ink. After seeing Cui Yu's thunderous methods in the past few days, Jin Huairou did not dare to have other thoughts, and was in awe of Cui Yu to the extreme.
Looking at Jin Huairou grinding ink, Cui Yu suddenly asked: "In the future, Shen Zhuliu will inherit the position of Duke Xi, and will Duke Xi Guo be the Duke Xi Guo of the Zhou royal family or the Shen family."
"Of course it's Duke Xiguo of the God family." Jin Huairou replied directly without thinking.
"If Zhuliu inherits the Guogong Mansion in the future, the Guogong Mansion will be my son's property. I will never agree to anyone who wants to seize my son's property. Even the royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty will never agree. !" Jin Huaiju said.
The voice was decisive.
Cui Yu was quite satisfied with Jin Huairou's answer. Seeing that Jin Huairou had finished grinding the ink, he took out a blank notebook from the table beside him and began to write slowly.
In the time of a stick of incense, Cui Yu finished writing, dried the ink, then closed the fold and handed it to Jin Huairou: "This is the fold written by me. The content of the fold is to write to the king that I will automatically withdraw from the position of Duke. Competition, and voluntarily give up the position of Duke Xi to the gods. You take the discount, go to see Duke Xi Guo tomorrow morning, and ask him to write a letter to the emperor together, voluntarily giving up the position of Duke Xi, and let Shen Zhuliu inherit it. "
Jin Huairou was overjoyed when she heard this and quickly took the fold. She had been waiting for this moment for too long.
"You are indeed a man of your word." Jin Huairou looked at Cui Yu blankly: "This is the position of a duke, a title of master. Don't you have the slightest bit of greed?"
She couldn't believe it when she saw Cui Yu giving up his position as the Duke of China without hesitation.
This is a world where human life is of the highest order, and a noble title means a superior person. How precious is this?
"Everyone has different ambitions. How can I take the position of a mere prince of the country in my eyes." Cui Yu said with a smile: "Madam, please come back, I want to rest."
Jin Huairou did not move, but looked at Cui Yu with a slight hesitation: "Zhuliu is too young. Isn't it inappropriate to inherit the position of Duke now?"
"Why are you so timid when things get tough?" Cui Yu smiled and looked at Jin Huairou.
"It's just like a dream, I can't believe it. When things come to a close, many things become clearer and clearer to me! Zhuliu is only eight years old. If someone secretly stumbles, I'm afraid he won't be able to escape." Jin Huairou said with a wry smile.
"As long as I am here, the Duke's Mansion will never fall." Cui Yu said with a smile, "Don't worry, I will never fall."
Jin Huairou hesitated slightly after hearing this. After all, it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If he misses today and wants to inherit the position of the Duke, he may have to rely on many variables.
Now that Duke Xi is still here, it is easy to appoint an heir. But if Duke Xiguo disappears for a period of time, many people may be interested.
A dreamless night
In the early morning of the next day, a piece of news suddenly spread in Haojing City, and with lightning speed, it spread throughout the streets and alleys like a plague: The current eldest prince Ji Wushuang has lost the blood of the Ji family and relies on others to seize the body. The body is lingering.
As soon as this news appeared, it spread like wildfire, spreading throughout Haojing City.
"Have you heard? The reason why the eldest prince Ji Wushuang did not participate in the imperial sacrifice is because his body was destroyed. He is now just a pseudo-royal bloodline with the soul of the Zhou royal family but no bloodline of the Zhou Dynasty. .”
"Really or not? In this case, wouldn't Ji Wushuang lose the right to compete for the throne? Otherwise, if Ji Wushuang succeeds to the throne in the future and does not have the blood and body of the Zhou royal family, will the child he gives birth to be a child of the Zhou royal family? ?”
"Ji Wushuang is a dignified eldest prince, how could he lose his body? Who dares to destroy the eldest prince's body?"
Everyone was talking a lot, and all kinds of discussions spread like a plague in Kyoto.
Lutai
early morning
Zhou Liu came downstairs with a gloomy expression and came behind Emperor Zhou, his eyes full of hesitation.
Emperor Zhou was arranging his clothes and preparing to complete today's sacrifice. When he saw Zhou Liu suddenly arriving, but he didn't speak, he couldn't help but frowned: "What's the matter?"
There is no small thing that can make Zhou Liu have such an attitude.
"I heard from people that the body of the eldest prince Ji Wushuang was destroyed, and now he has a body that is still alive." Zhou Liu said in a low voice.
Emperor Zhou was shocked when he heard this: "When did it happen?"
"A message suddenly came out this morning." Zhou Liu lowered his head.
Emperor Zhou's face suddenly darkened when he heard this, and his eyes were full of gloom. The Zhou Dynasty was now in troubled times, and even the body of the dignified prince was destroyed. Doesn't it make the Zhou Dynasty worse? To make the entire Zhou royal family fall into disgrace?
"Call the eldest prince's chamberlain officials to come and ask questions." Emperor Zhou ordered.
The guard followed the order and left. Not long after, he saw a trembling chamberlain coming to Lutai. When he saw Emperor Zhou, he bowed down directly and said, "I have met the king."
"Are you responsible for Ji Wushuang's daily life records?" Zhou Tianzi asked.
"Replying to your Majesty, you are just a villain." The guard replied respectfully.
"Can the eldest prince and his concubines have sex? Why don't they see any children being conceived?" Emperor Zhou asked.
The chamberlain officials trembled when they heard this.
"Say!" Emperor Zhou scolded.
"Reporting to the king... The prince has not slept with the princess, concubines, and concubines for several years. Since returning from the Two Realms Mountain, he has never slept with him again." The chamberlain official said tremblingly.
"Why don't you report such a big thing?" Emperor Zhou asked.
"Your Highness won't allow it, and even this villain wouldn't dare..." The chamberlain was about to cry.
Emperor Zhou ignored the servant and said with a gloomy face:
"Where is that beast?"
Emperor Zhou asked.
He did not continue to check whether it was true, but asked where the person was.
Zhou Liu smiled bitterly when he heard this. The next moment he opened his eyes and raised his head. After a while, he replied: "In Haojing City."
"Tell him to come here and see me." Emperor Zhou ordered.
After hearing this, Zhou Liu immediately went down to make arrangements.
Ji Wushuang's mansion
In the early morning, Ji Wushuang was not awake yet. Suddenly, there was a sound of hurried footsteps, and Mr. Yu knocked on Ji Wushuang's door: "Your Highness, it's not good! Something serious is going to happen!"
"Why are you so panicked?" Ji Wushuang said sleepily and somewhat impatiently.
"The guards of Zhensi Si have arrived. Please go to the deer platform to ask questions." Mr. Yu replied.
The room suddenly fell into deathly silence, and then Ji Wushuang suddenly sat up on the bed: "Where are the guards?"
"Waiting right outside the door." Mr. Yu replied.
"How can I see the king like this?" Ji Wushuang suddenly panicked.
"I'm afraid we can't hide this matter anymore, because the news that His Highness lost his body this morning has spread throughout Haojing City." Mr. Yu said in a serious voice:
"Now that things have happened, I'm afraid that the king's sudden summons must be related to this matter."
"It's over!" Ji Wushuang was so shocked that his body became weak.
Even though I had already expected it in my heart, when things really happened now, I still couldn't help but tremble.
"Why do you teach me, sir?" Ji Wushuang looked at Mr. Yu, as if he had grasped the last straw.
Mr. Yu smiled bitterly upon hearing this: "When I meet the Queen, I can't hide the fact that Your Highness's body was destroyed. Now that things have happened, Your Highness should ask for an order to leave Haojing City as soon as possible, become a powerful person in charge, and then wait for the right time. Now the world is about to There is chaos, and staying in Haojing to inherit the throne may not be the best choice at this time.”
Ji Wushuang smiled bitterly when he heard this, and could only follow Mr. Yu's words and stood up to meet Emperor Zhou.
But will the Great Zhou Dynasty really be in chaos? He still couldn't believe it.
Ji Wushuang entered the inner palace. Not long after, there was a roar from Lutai, followed by the sound of smashing the table: "Get out of Haojing as soon as possible. Don't embarrass the Zhou royal family."
Ji Wushuang walked out of the palace in despair. Looking around, she felt at a loss. After a long time, she came back to her senses: "Since I want to leave Haojing and go to the fiefdom, I will definitely need a lot of money to develop the fiefdom. The printing and dyeing recipes of the Shen family, I have to get it in my hands.”
Ji Wushuang didn't ask the guards to come to the door. He really couldn't wait any longer, because the King of Zhou had ordered that he must leave the capital today.
Ji Wushuang came all the way to the Duke Rongguo Mansion.
In the study
Ying'er came from outside the door: "Master, the eldest prince is here and wants to see you."
"See me?" Cui Yu put down the book in his hand, with a sneer on his lips: "Just say I'm not here."
Ying'er was stunned when she heard this, then stood up to reply.
In the hall of Duke Rongguo's mansion
Ji Wushuang was pacing back and forth anxiously. After hearing Ying'er's answer, he suddenly became anxious: "Where has your master gone? He said that the lonely king wanted to see him and asked him to come back quickly."
"Where has my master gone? How can I, a humble servant, dare to ask about such a big matter? Why don't you please go back first, and when my master comes back, I will ask my master to pay you a visit in person?" Ying'er said respectfully.
There's nothing wrong with this.
Hearing Ying'er's words, Ji Wushuang frowned, but this is all she can do now.
"I'll leave you an address. When your master comes back, I'll tell you to deliver the agreed items to this address." Ji Wushuang wrote down the address of his fiefdom, and then left in a hurry.
