Chapter 424: ulterior motive

In the pavilion, the sound of the piano is melodious.
Guan Shi was shaking all over.
When the sound of the piano became loud and violent, his whole body was sweating like rain, and his clothes were soaked with sweat, as if he was fished out of the water.
At this moment, he can't wait to do everything by himself.
boom!
The string breaks!
For a moment, Hu Guanshi was so frightened that he couldn't wait to shut his breath.
Zhou Jin was full of fierce aura, he raised his hand, his fingertips were cut by the strings, bleeding out.
The blood dripped, falling on the black robe.
The corners of his mouth were raised, awe-inspiring.
A maid with a fair complexion and long legs tremblingly took out her hand Juan to wipe his bleeding fingers.
He followed the maid's hand, his eyes all the way up, and finally fell on the maid's face.
I don't know what he thought of, he grabbed the maid's chin, "Let my son take a look, this face looks very good, but it's a wood."
With a hard effort on his hand, the maid was pushed out and mounted directly on the guardrail. The waist was almost broken, but the maid did not dare to say a word, but knelt on the ground to apologize.
Looking around, all the maids are more or less similar.
To be precise, these maids look more or less like Gu Jiu.
Some are eyes, some are noses, some are lips, some are from a certain angle and from a certain side, and some are from a certain state...
In a year, Zhou Jin has collected so many similar-looking maids, which shows that it has been a lot of effort.
However, he was not happy, he was not satisfied, he was irritable.
No matter how similar he looks, he is not that person.
There is neither a trace of righteousness, nor the courage and courage of righteousness. As for the brain, it is even more incomparable.
These people, in Zhou Jin's eyes, are just similar pieces of wood.
Who would like a piece of wood.
He took the handkerchief and gently wiped his fingers.
Fingertips have stopped the bleeding.
He looked at Guan Shi, "What did she say?"
Guan Shi was trembling, "Mrs. Zhao received the gift. It seems that she didn't know the news of the hijacking of the Zhu's sea ship before. She, she almost guessed the identity of the son. She also said that the jade sculpture sent last year would be returned to the son. "
Zhou Jin laughed, "She really guessed the identity of this son?"
"Of course I didn't admit it, I only said that the son helped the pirates sell the stolen goods."
"You are clever."
Guan Shi buried his head on the ground and did not dare to claim credit.
Zhou Jin asked again: "Does she want to see this son?"
"The madam said that she was unwell and inconvenient to go out. The young man suggested that the son go to the palace to visit, but Mrs. Zhao said, but said that the son is not afraid? Mrs. Zhao also asked the young man to remind the son that the capital is not Jiangnan, and be careful to capsize."
"Hahaha..."
Zhou Jin laughed loudly, looking particularly happy.
When others hear such words, they must be very angry.
However, he is not an ordinary person, he is an abnormal person.
He is not angry but happy.
He was excited and excited, "She must have guessed the identity of this son, but there is no evidence to support it. Next, she will send someone to investigate the identity and background of this son."
Guanshi Hu asked boldly, "Don't you worry about the son?"
"What's the worry? Do you think she will send someone to arrest me?"
Hu Guanshi was speechless.
Zhou Jin laughed, "She won't. She's not a good-natured person. After she learns that this son is a pirate, she will choose to cooperate with this son while guarding against him. For example, let the son Zhao come forward to build a navy division. She won’t turn my face with me until we make sure that the navy can turn over my son.

"The court has a regular navy, what should the son do?" Hu Guanshi panicked.
Zhou Jin laughed, "My son can go ashore and become a businessman. You can also escape overseas, occupy a land and become the founding emperor. My son has many roads."
"But Madam Zhao has become a confidant."
Zhou Jin smiled contemptuously, "Life is lonely!"
Life without rivals is so lonely.
It is rare that someone has the ability and the opportunity to be his opponent, how can he easily kill the opponent.
What's more, this man is still a beautiful woman.
Only hate, the woman is married and will have children soon.
Zhou Jin's expression turned gloomy in a blink of an eye.
Guan Shi shivered subconsciously.
"Pack up and leave here now. As expected, someone will come over soon. For the time being, this young man doesn't want to meet him."
Zhou Jin got up.
The security guard immediately followed up, took the necessary items, and left directly from the neighboring house.
When the guard Zhao San brought people to kill, the other courtyard had already been empty, and only a broken piano and used tea sets were left.
Zhao San was furious.
As soon as Guan Shi left the palace, someone followed to determine the location.
They arrived the first time, but they still rushed into the air.
"Search! You can't let go of any useful clues."
Half an hour later, the search was over, and the guard Zhao San returned to the palace.
In the document garden, Liu Zhao had just finished his bath and was drinking tea.
Zhao San bowed and stood in front of him, "The subordinates are incompetent. When they rushed past, they were already empty."
Liu Zhao frowned slightly, "Run fast."
It seems that he still underestimated the man named Zhou Mingjin.
The guard Zhao San asked cautiously: "Master, is this Master Zhou really a pirate?"
Liu Zhao's face was expressionless, "Send someone to investigate, and we can always find clues."
It seems that the previously stranded naval plan must be put on the agenda.
Even if a "pirate leader" swaggered to the capital, he still dared to approach Xiao Jiu, when he was a grandson?
He further commanded: "Notify Xiuyiwei, Wucheng Soldier Ma Si, pay attention to this person. If you see suspicious persons, they will be arrested."
Guard Zhao San bowed to take his orders, and asked before leaving: "Madam and this son of Zhou have business dealings, do you want your wife to terminate cooperation with the other party."
"Not for the time being. Just catch people, ignore business, keep it as bait."
After explaining the matter, Liu Zhao came to Shangfang.
The flag is still on the desk.
Liu Zhao looked an eyesore and told people to put it away.
Gu Jiu looked at him, "How is it? Did you find someone?"
He shook his head, "Zhao San is late."
Gu Jiu laughed, "It seems that he is very alert, expecting that I doubt his identity, so I left early."
Liu Zhao clasped her shoulders, "Don't interact with this person in the future. It's definitely not a good thing to dare to help the pirates sell stolen goods."
Gu Jiu responded with a smile, "I know. Do you think he will be a pirate?"
"I have sent someone south to investigate."
Gu Jiu thought for a while, "He is a relative of the Zhou family in Chuzhou. Next time I see Grandma Zhou, I will ask her if she remembers Zhou Jin.
It’s just that I’m very curious, why he specially sent a steward to give a flag to his door, and even generously admitted that he was selling the pirates.
Several million taels of stolen goods cannot be swallowed by ordinary people. Cheng Enbo Zhu's family is not a person who has no name or a surname. How can he have the confidence to provoke the Zhu family? "
Liu Zhao stared at Gu Jiu and painted her eyebrows, "You don't have to think about his purpose. This person is very dangerous. Anyway, don't interact with him in the future."
Gu Jiu leaned in his arms, "Unfortunately, a supplier is missing."
"Are you going to cut off business with him?"
"That's what I planned. Where Rong Xin is there, I have to write to remind him to be careful of Zhou Jin."
Liu Zhao hesitated for a moment, "It's better not to cut off business, just as a bait."
Gu Jiu raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Do you want to catch him?"
Liu Zhao did not deny it.
Gu Jiu said, "It's not impossible to continue to maintain business dealings with him. Just ignore his identity behind him and pretend to know nothing."
Liu Zhao said: "Just follow the heart."
Gu Jiu laughed, "Forget it, just maintain the status quo. Now my emotions are affected by pregnancy, so I shouldn't make major decisions. I'll talk about it after I have a baby."
Liu Zhao solemnly said: "Don't worry, everything has me."
Rumble!
rain again.
Royal palace.
Chen Dachang stood under the eaves, looking at the rain curtain with awe-inspiring expression.
A little yellow door hurriedly came to him, bowed and said, "Father-in-law, Jiang Shuyi started ahead of schedule."
Chen Dachang gave an um, "How long has it been?"
"There have been two hours."
"What did the doctor say?"
"The imperial doctor said that the fetal position is not correct, which may lead to difficult labor."
Rumble!
Lightning accompanied by thunder, tearing open the rain curtain, leaving all monsters and ghosts invisible.
Chen Dachang said: "Continue to stare at Jiang Shuyi."
The little yellow door bowed to take his orders, opened his mouth, and stopped talking.
"What else?"
"In case of an accident, should you keep the big or the small?"
"Who made you ask this?"
"No, no one."
"Then shut your mouth and don't say anything extra."
"Yes."
Xiao Huangmen turned around and hurriedly left.
Chen Dachang was silent for about this time before returning to Zhengyang Hall.
The emperor is reviewing the memorial.
Chen Dachang stood silently beside the emperor, ready to send him.
He didn't rush to tell the emperor the news that Jiang Shuyi launched.
The candlelight flickered, until the third quarter of Haishi, the emperor was finally done.
Chen Dachang stepped forward, put the memorials on the desk into different categories, and then inadvertently raised Jiang Shuyi to start, for fear of having a difficult child.
The emperor was stunned, "Start today?"
"It is twenty days ahead of the date predicted by the imperial physician."
Premature delivery!
The emperor asked: "How long have you been born?"
"Almost four hours."
The emperor nodded, "Tell me when you are born."
"Old slave obeyed."
In the harem, apart from the sound of rain, only Jiang Shuyi's screams.
Wien Po, mother and daughter help Jiang Shuyi in production together.
The imperial doctor waited outside the delivery room in case of accidents.
This birth was very difficult.
From day to night, from night to early morning.
When the black canopy was opened, and the east side vomited white, the harem finally heard a cry of a newborn baby.
"what……"
The cry of the baby was accompanied by the screams of Wen Po.
Immediately after that, the scream was blocked in his mouth and could not be spit out.
The mother of the harem looked at the baby child, "This is a ghost?"
Wen Po was trembling with fright. Especially as the child's legs move, the extra leg on the calf also follows the movement. It looks weird and terrifying.
Not only that, there is a dark birthmark on the child's face, covering half of his face.
The candlelight swayed, but it was a ghost.
"Child, give it to my palace." Jiang Shuyi didn't faint, she still had the last bit of strength.
"Manny Shuyi still don't look at it."
"Give it to this palace! You cheap maid, dare to defy even this palace's words."
The mother sullen her face, holding the child and came to Jiang Shuyi.
Jiang Shuyi's eyes exuded tender and loving expectation, but in an instant, her body became stiff, her pupils widened, and her teeth gurgled.
"Go away! Go away! Go away! This is not a child from the house, take it away. Where did you take the child from the house? Hand over the child from the house, otherwise the house tells you to die..."
When the voice fell, Jiang Shuyi fainted directly.
...
Before dawn, Chen Dachang was already waiting in the palace.
A little yellow door came in quietly, and he hesitated before coming to Chen Dachang and whispering to report.
"really?"
Little Huangmen nodded, "It's true. Jiang Shuyi has passed out."
Chen Dachang waved his hand and dismissed the little yellow door.
After the emperor had finished putting on his clothes, he whispered, "Your Majesty, Jiang Shuyi is born, and he is a prince. But..."
"But what?"
"The child has some problems, there is something more on his body."
The emperor paused and turned to look at Chen Dachang.
Chen Dachang lowered his eyebrows and stood on the side.
The emperor didn't say anything, and got up directly to the harem.
Chen Dachang hurried to keep up.
In a palace in the harem, the atmosphere was depressed and tense.
Until the emperor came, everyone knelt on the ground, waiting for the final judgment.
The child was taken out from the delivery room, the bag was spread out, and everything about the child was clear at a glance.
The emperor's face was gloomy and he didn't say a word.
Chen Dachang recruited Madam Hu, "How?"
Mrs. Hu understood that Chen Dachang was asking about the child.
He shook his head, "Not so good. It's already less than a month, but he has experienced dystocia and is weak."
Chen Dachang knew it well.
What to do, everything has to wait for your majesty to make a decision.
The emperor looked like a knife, and the knife stabbed the newborn baby.
"Take it away!"
Only these three words.
After the emperor finished speaking, he turned and left.
Chen Dachang left a few confidantes to deal with the follow-up matters, and then gave the order, Jiang Shuyi had a dystocia, and the child was gone.
...
When Jiang Shuyi woke up, it was already afternoon.
Her memory still stayed before the coma, that ghost.
"Child, where's the child?"
"Niangniang take care of her body. Niangniang has a difficult delivery, and the child failed to keep her."
Jiang Shuyi's eyes were sharp, "Who taught you to say that?"
The court lady knelt on the ground and kowtowed her head to plead guilty, "The mother calmed down her anger, and the mother calmed down. Your Majesty took a look in the morning and ordered the burial of the little prince."
"What are you talking about? Your Majesty, and saw the child?"
Jiang Shuyi had just given birth to her baby, her face was pale, but now her blood has faded and her face is pale.
"Quickly, invite Zhou Miao and Father Zhou. Go!"
"The slave maid will go now."
Jiang Shuyi slumped on the bed, finished, finished.
Everything is known by the emperor, she is finished.
She gave birth to a ghost, and the emperor would definitely hate her.
Why is she so fate.
She is unwilling! She is angry!
She screamed, but could not change what had happened.
It's all over.
"My mother just gave birth to a child, so why is she crying. You can't cry during confinement, beware that your eyes can't bear it."
The familiar voice rang in my ears.
She turned her head and saw Zhou Miao.
She opened her mouth, just three words, "I'm done!"
"What nonsense the mother is talking about, why are you finished? Even though the dystocia is not saved, it will not be finished."
Zhou Miao put the food box on the table, sat by the bed, and looked at her.
"No, it's not like that."
Jiang Shuyi's body was tight, and her teeth gurgled.
"It's not like that. The child was born. He was alive when he was a child."
Zhou Miao's heart jumped. Since the child was born alive, why is it said in the palace that the child died after being difficult to produce.
Jiang Shuyi's eyes were blank, she said mechanically: "The child is alive, and I saw it with my own eyes. But he, he is a ghost!"
what?
Zhou Miao's face changed drastically, and he asked solemnly, "Is it really a ghost?"
Two tears flowed from her eyes, and she closed her eyes and nodded, "I saw with my own eyes that the child has a ghost face and three legs."
OMG!
Zhou Miao frowned, "Does your majesty know?"
Jiang Shuyi nodded desperately, "Your Majesty saw it with his own eyes and ordered the child to be disposed of. Your Majesty must be tired of me. What do you think I should do? Will I be in the cold palace?"
She stretched out her hand and grabbed Zhou Miao's wrist.
Now in this huge palace, the only person she can rely on is Zhou Miao.
Zhou Miao was also frightened.
But after all he had a big heart, and quickly calmed down.
"Manny Shuyi, what matters to you now is confinement and good health."
"What's the use of raising your body? Your Majesty will never be lucky to me again."
Jiang Shuyi's heart was ashamed.
"Did the empress accept her fate?"
Jiang Shuyi shook her head painfully, "Of course I don't accept my fate. But what can I do? Tell me, what should I do now?"
"Confinement, nourish your body. This is the only thing you must do well. Everything will be done after confinement."
"Is there any hope?"
Zhou Miao said solemnly: "It's man-made. If you don't keep your health well, everything is hopeless."
Jiang Shuyi cried again.
