Chapter 10: Death(1/2)

"Along the way, I've been dry and dry. Don't you invite me to have a cup of tea?" Wu Ge said with a smile.

Dou Shishu hurriedly invited Mr. Wu in, and Dou Shiying followed him after a long time of sadness.

Before Mr. Wu officially proposed the marriage, Dou Shiying took the lead: "Mr. Wu, is there any misunderstanding in the marriage between His Highness the King of Qin and my family?"

Dou Shishu's face suddenly changed. He was about to scold his younger brother, but Mr. Wu laughed.

"Your Majesty has given you a golden word and a jade word. The decree for marriage has been issued. Where did the misunderstanding come from?"

Dou Shiying felt as if he was struck by lightning when he heard this. He knew that there was no room for maneuver in this matter.

Dou Shishu was afraid that Dou Shiying would make any more trouble, so he quickly bowed to Mr. Wu and said, "My seventh brother was feeling cold last night, so it was so inconvenient. Why not discuss this matter with the Mr. Wu?"

“Okay.”

Dou Shishu hurriedly called his servant to help Dou Shiying down.

After leaving the front hall, Dou Shiying gradually came back to his senses and rushed to the backyard. Dou Zhao was preparing items for his deceased mother's death. Seeing his daughter's figure gradually merged with his deceased wife, Dou Shiying mustered up the courage and stepped forward to pull Dou Zhao.

"Dad, you are..." Dou Zhao didn't understand why.

Dou Shiying said as she walked, "It's too late to explain. Your Majesty has already given you a marriage to His Highness Qin. You should quickly clean up your details and find a place to hide. You will come to the palace to plead for your father later. If your Majesty is kind, Dad will send someone to take you back, if so..."

"Dad, are you trying to resist the order for the child?" Dou Zhao broke free from Dou Shiying's hand.

Dou Shiying's eyes were filled with tears: "Sixteen years ago, if you were a father, you would not have caused a tragedy... You don't have to be afraid. Your Majesty is kind now. Even if you don't agree, you will not be able to do anything to your father. With your personality, you must not marry into the royal family..."

Before Dou Shiying finished speaking his own touched words, Dou Zhao frowned and interrupted: "Dad still treats me as a three-year-old child? Resisting the order is a serious crime of raiding the family and extermination. Moreover, all the world is the king's land, where can I escape with a weak woman?"

"What's more, I didn't say I didn't want to marry the King of Qin?"

Dou Shiying was choked and couldn't speak for a while. After a while, she asked incrediblely: "Sister Zhao, you..."

"Your Highness the King of Qin is right. Anyway, you will get married in the future. At least your Highness the King of Qin treats me sincerely. Even if you can't be harmonious in the future, you will at least respect each other as guests."

As soon as Dou Zhao finished speaking, Dou Shiying shook her long sleeves hard: "Nonsense, is this what every family of you, an unmarried girl, should say?"

"This King of Qin is really..."

Dou Shiying wanted to curse people, but she didn't dare to scold them. Who knew if there were any film editors in this yard?

"However, the child is very happy today, at least he understands his father's intentions." Dou Zhao smiled in tears.

"Zhao'er."

The father and daughter hugged each other and cried.

In the side courtyard, Wang Yingxue was listening to the servant’s report, and the more she listened, the less she couldn’t sit still.

"Dou Zhao didn't know what luck was that he could have led His Majesty to give him a marriage, and asked Mr. Wu to come to propose marriage in person."

The more he spoke, the more angry he became. Wang Yingxue looked at her biological daughter Dou Ming and became even more angry.

"Tell me, I raised you like a precious and precious gold. Dou Zhao was just a village girl who grew up in the countryside. She was even compared to you. In the future, Dou Zhao became the Princess of Qin, so how could we have a good life?"

Dou Ming lowered his head and said carefully: "Mother, Sister Zhao treats Tomorrow well. Last night, she met Mr. Wu's second couplet for Tomorrow."

"Hmph, what do you know? Dou Zhao is the most scheming. She is confusing me. When I relax my guard, I will then stomp me into pieces. Yes, that's it. She must have wanted to climb up to the high branch of the King of Qin and avenge her mother!"

Wang Yingxue became more and more crazy as she spoke. Dou Ming was so scared that he quickly stepped forward to comfort her, but Wang Yingxue grabbed her wrist.

"Tomorrow, you can help your mother and never lose to Dou Zhao."

"No, Dou Zhao married the King of Qin. Who else in this world is more noble than the King of Qin? King Qing or the prince?"

As he was talking, Wang Yingxue's eyes turned dark and she fainted. Dou Ming quickly asked Madam Zhou to invite a doctor.

Wang Yingxue suddenly fell into a coma, which also alarmed Dou Shiying who was in the backyard. Looking at Dou Shiying's back rushing to the side yard in panic, Dou Zhao shook his head silently.

No matter what his father treats her, there is a Wang Yingxue in the middle, and the revenge of killing her mother is irreconcilable. One day she will make Wang Yingxue pay the price!

Not long after Wu Ge Lao left the Dou family, many high-ranking officials came to the Dou family. Although the imperial edict had not been issued yet, this matter was a foregone conclusion. Seeing that the Dou family was about to be a royal relative, it must be a trap.

Dou Shishu felt unprecedented attention. Looking at the high officials and nobles who did not take him seriously on weekdays, they were respectful to him at this moment. The comfort made Dou Shishu laugh so hard that his mouth was crooked.

All day, Dou Shishu was busy welcoming and seeing off the guests, and the guests came one after another, and they were all noble masters. The servants didn't dare to blink, for fear that negligence would cause trouble.

The trouble continued until midnight, when the gate of Dou Mansion was closed, the Dou family and other subordinates were relieved.

In the side courtyard, Wang Yingxue was lying on the bed, and the more she thought about it, she became more and more angry. Not long after Dou Shiying sat down when she was sent to entertain guests by Dou Shishu. Dou Ming, a girl, couldn't tell her many things, and was sent away by Wang Yingxue.

Wang Yingxue could only complain to Madam Zhou beside her.

"We have to think of a way, and we must not let Dou Zhao marry into the Qin Palace so easily."

Madam Zhou leaned over to Wang Yingxue's ear and lowered her voice: "Madam, don't you have a distant nephew from the countryside, why don't you let him..."

Wang Yingxue's eyes lit up when she heard this: "Okay, that's it!"

"But Madam, Dou Zhao will be the Princess of Qin soon, I'm afraid he won't leave the mansion easily."

"Hmph, in two days it will be the day of the bitch's death. Dou Zhao will definitely leave the house to worship. I believe there will not be many people following you at that time. As long as you send more people, you may not be able to succeed."

A greedy light flashed in Wang Yingxue's eyes: "If you succeed, then Dou Zhao will break his body. In order to protect the face of His Highness King Qin, you might have to let Dou Zhao marry into the Qin Palace tomorrow. At that time, I will be His Highness King Qin's mother-in-law and a real royal relative. Who dares to underestimate me in the future!"

...

For two consecutive days, the door of Dou Mansion was crowded with guests coming and going, and his attitude was afraid of being too late to curry favor, which made Dou Shishu become picky. If he wanted to go to Dou Mansion for tea, he had to be a fifth-rank official or had a title. As for those small officials who wanted to curry favor with and wealthy businessmen, they could only queue up behind.

Two days later, on Zhao Guqiu's death day, Dou Zhao was about to go out for worship, but was stopped by Dou Shishu.

"I guess the palace will issue an order in the next few days, so it's better for Zhao Jie'er to stay at home."

Dou Zhao said in a cold tone: "Today is my mother's death day. Are you not allowed to be worshipped by her daughter?"

"It is natural to worship people's children, but now the situation is special. Why not just worship in the ancestral hall?"

Seeing that he was about to become a royal relative, Dou Shishu didn't want any accidents at this critical moment.

"Will the fifth uncle stop me today?" Dou Zhao was too lazy to continue to tugging with Dou Shishu, and directly questioned with a cold face.

"This..." Dou Shishu didn't dare to offend Dou Zhao, so he could only call a few guards in the hospital: "You protect the young lady, if anything goes wrong, be careful of your head."

Dou Zhao frowned, but did not refuse Dou Shishu's followers.

The group came out of the Dou Mansion through the side door, but they didn't know that there was a tail behind them.

In the suburbs, Dou Zhao came to Zhao Guqiu's tomb, told about his experiences over the years, and poured out his thoughts in his heart. Before he knew it, an hour had passed. After Zhao Zhangru's persuasion, Dou Zhao called the servants back.

It was the hot summer, and Dou Zhao and his party were dry and their mouths were dry when they were on the way, so they happened to pass by a tea stall.

Zhao Zhangru suggested: "Shou Gu, let's stop and finish the tea before rushing. It's still early to close the city gate, so I'm in a hurry."

"Well, let everyone take a break." Dou Zhao thought so, but he was a little bored after staying in the Dou family anyway.

After calling tea, the servants couldn't wait to drink it in big gulps. The guards sent by Dou Shishu no longer hesitated to see this and fed them hard.

Dou Zhao took a sip of tea and suddenly felt that the taste was not right. Zhao Zhangru, beside him, closed his eyes and fell in front of him. The maids and servants fell to the ground. Dou Zhao suddenly felt something was wrong and quickly took out a pill from the cuff and stuffed it into his mouth. Then he pretended to be dizzy like Zhao Zhangru.

A vulgar man walked out from behind the tea stall and walked to Dou Zhao.

"Tsk tsk tsk tsk, it's worthy of being the woman His Highness Qin likes. She really has a tender skin."

"Hehe, Mr. Pang became the prince today, and he also asked the brothers to be fucked."

"Haha, don't worry, I will reward you after I have played with you and come one by one."

Just as Dou Zhao was thinking about how to get out, a chopstick tube smashed Mr. Pang who was approaching Dou Zhao step by step.

"Who, who threw the thing and hit me, come out!" Pang Kunbai covered his head and cursed.

A handsome and elegant man flew forward.

"Who are you, how come you are here?"

"It doesn't matter who I am. What's important is that I have already reported to the official. If you don't leave, you may not be able to leave later."

Dou Zhao, who had been pretending to be asleep, opened his eyes a crack and was surprised to find that the person who came was the former monk Yuantong. No, monk Yuantong was in his previous life, and he seemed to have not been ordained in this life.

Pang Kunbai slapped the bandits beside him: "Idiot, if there were really officers and soldiers coming, this kid wouldn't jump out alone. Can you still kill this kid so many of you? Kill him for me!"

These bandits were wearing veils, but he showed his face and must not leave any erotic eloquence.

Yuantong's face changed. Just as he was about to take action first, he suddenly heard a burst of rapid horse hooves coming from behind him.

"Caval, this kid has really reported to the official. When the officers and soldiers come, brothers and sisters will run away."

The bandits were about to flee in all directions, and a team of knights in black armor had arrived. The cavalry and the well-trained soldiers faced the bandits with only one knife in their hands. The scene was naturally one-sided, and soon the last bandit was also shot to death.

Pang Kunbai was so scared that he was about to escape while he was kicked over. When he looked closely, he found that Dou Zhao, who was supposed to be confused by his sweating medicine, was shocked.

"You're not stunned?"

Dou Zhao didn't bother paying attention to him, but turned around and asked Yuantong: "Did you call me?"

Before Yuantong could answer, he saw the leader of the black armored knight dismounting and kneeling down: "Wang Yong, the deputy captain of the Qin Prince's Personal Guard, has met the Qin Prince's Concubine."

Dou Zhao suddenly realized: "Is His Highness the King of Qin sent you here?"

"His Highness of Qin has been secretly sending people to protect the princess. I heard that the princess went out of the city to worship today. In order to avoid accidents, she sent us to protect her secretly. She never thought that there was such a blind guy who dared to do something rash."

Dou Zhao nodded: "Thank you for your hard work, what should we do with these people now?"

"Of course, I wait for the government to recognize the body and dare to attack the prince's family. The whole family will be inseparable from the seat."
