Chapter 141: A Test of Life and Death
Zhou Changan nodded slightly, and said lightly, "No courtesy!" His sharp eyes stared at Lin Wan for a moment, waiting for her explanation. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Lin Wan got up slowly, generously looked at Zhou Chang'an's inquiring gaze, and explained: "Back to the emperor, Wan'er heard that the third princess had been kneeling outside the Qinzheng Palace for a few hours, and she was anxious before she came to the palace. I wanted to ask to see Aunt Yu and ask her to bring me to persuade the third princess, but I happened to meet the Seventh Prince on the road, so I begged the Seventh Prince to take me in. The Seventh Prince said that he also sneaked out, and it was not good to blatantly bring me in, so he had to let me pretend to be the eunuch next to him. Wan'er has long known that the emperor knows everything and must not be able to hide it from the emperor, and asks the emperor to see that we are all because we care about the princess and do not mean to deceive, so don't blame us. ”
Zhou Lingwei also hurriedly pleaded: "Father, please don't embarrass Sister Wan'er, it's rare for a daughter to have Wan'er, a close friend in the boudoir, and they fell into the water together and experienced the test of life and death together, if it wasn't for Sister Wan'er's rescue that day, you would have lost my daughter." ”
"Oh, what's going on?" Zhou Changan frowned and blurted out. Although he had already found out what happened that day, he was completely ignorant of the details that only Lin Wan and Zhou Lingwei knew.
"That day...... Ahh
Lin Wan hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, let's let Wan'er talk about it." ”
"Speak. Zhou Changan nodded, and looked at Lin Wan with more suspicion.
Lin Wan met Zhou Changan's gaze, was not afraid, and said sincerely: "Your Majesty, that day Wan'er and the third princess, as well as the six princes of Dongli, fell into the water together, the third princess doesn't know water, and Wan'er only knows some water, so let the sixth prince take the third princess to go first, and come back to save me." But later, I waited for a long time holding the plank, and the sixth prince did not come back, but it happened that Lord Ning Ban passed by and saved me. I was worried about the safety of the third princess, so I took Master Ning to look in the direction where the third princess left, and sure enough, I found the third princess who was floating in the lake with driftwood like me. We rescued the third princess, only to know that it was Jin Pengzhan, the bad guy, who chased after him and fought fiercely with the sixth prince in the water, and the sixth prince was afraid that Jin Pengzhan would hurt the third princess, so he lured the eldest prince away alone. Because we were afraid of affecting our reputation, we concealed this detail, and the emperor knew about the next things. ”
After listening to Lin Wan's explanation, the emperor felt that it was reasonable, and it matched what he knew, but he always felt that this girl's words were still unfinished, so he was silent for a moment, and then asked, "Is that all?"
Lin Wan bit her lower lip, looked back at Zhou Lingwei, and then at Zhou Changan, suddenly knelt down, looked up at Zhou Changan, and said, "Your Majesty, do you remember what Wan'er said last time?" Wan'er said that she hoped that the third princess would marry a wishful husband and that she would be happy all her life. Although Wan'er doesn't know what kind of wishful thinking is and what kind of happiness is, Wan'er knows that every woman wants to be with the person she likes. After that test of life and death, the third princess and the sixth prince of Dongli have developed feelings for each other, and Wan'er hopes that a lover can eventually become a family. ”
After hearing this, Zhou Chang'an's eyes sharpened, turned his head to look at Zhou Lingwei, and asked, "Wei'er, are you desperately resisting the decree because of the sixth prince of Dongli?"
Zhou Lingwei was not afraid, looked directly at Zhou Changan's gaze, nodded heavily, and said: "Yes, father, the daughter and the sixth prince of Dongli are already skin-to-skin, and they love each other, and I hope that my father will be fulfilled." Although Zhou Lingwei didn't expect Lin Wan to say this at this time, but now that she has reached a critical juncture, she can't care so much.
Zhou Changan was so angry that his eyebrows were raised, he glanced at the three of them, and shouted: "Presumptuous! You have learned to resist the decree one by one, two or three, haven't you?"
Zhou Tianqi was at a critical juncture, his forehead was full of beads of sweat, as if he hadn't heard Zhou Changan's words.
Zhou Lingwei looked at Zhou Changan with firm eyes, and did not flinch at all.
Lin Wan still knelt straight, looked at Zhou Changan expectantly, and slowly spoke: "Your Majesty, the Seven Princes and the Third Princess are your sons and daughters, and they also want to contribute to the country and share your worries, but you are their father, can you think of other ways for their happiness?
Zhou Changan's inquiring gaze locked on Lin Wan's sad little face, and he slowly spoke for a long time before he said, "Get up and speak." ”
Lin Wan slowly stood up, shook her head slightly, and said, "Wan'er doesn't know what to do, but Wan'er knows that Fengnancheng can't be given to Nanyue, and the third princess can't marry Nanyue as the crown princess, so she became a victim in vain." No matter what the South Vietnamese lords promised, they could not change the essence of their desire to invade our country, defeat our country, and replace our country's leadership. ”
Of course, Zhou Changan knew that the Nanyue Kingdom would not really reconcile with the Great Feng Kingdom, but he also had his concerns and calculations, which were incomprehensible to these juniors, he shook his head and said: "Princess Ziyue almost died in my Dafeng, and came back with the crown prince in full view of everyone, how do you tell me to give an explanation to the Lord of Nanyue?"
Lin Wan smiled slyly, raised her innocent little face, and said, "Since Princess Ziyue and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince are in love, then we will marry her as a gift to the crown princess, and also ask them to give us a city!"
Zhou Changan looked at Lin Wan's naughty appearance, and couldn't help but shake his head and smiled: "How can Wan'er say it so simply, how can the crown princess of the Great Sealing Kingdom be the princess of Nanyue, how can such a thing confusing the bloodline make Princess Ziyue can only be a prince concubine at most." ”
Lin Wan didn't care, and said: "Your Majesty, if the side concubine gives birth to the imperial heir, won't it also mess up the royal blood? What about the crown princess? There are so many women in the prince's mansion, and none of them are pregnant so far, can Princess Ziyue get pregnant as soon as she comes? And Nanyue dares to marry the third princess as the crown princess, why don't we dare?"
Zhou Changan looked at Lin Wan's clear eyes and fell into deep thought. It is true that there are no side concubines and concubines in the prince's mansion to conceive an imperial heir, but it is not because they can't conceive, but because the prince hopes that the first to give birth to an imperial heir is the future crown princess.
If Princess Ziyue becomes the crown princess, it is not difficult to not want her to get pregnant, and if she doesn't want her to be the queen in the future, it is not without an excuse.
The important thing is that if the lord of South Vietnam has the same thoughts, then Wei'er is really just a victim when she marries.
Zhou Changan only has such a daughter who is suitable for marriage, and he doesn't want to waste it in vain, and now Jin Haoran, the sixth prince of Dongli, has a relationship with Wei'er, if he forcibly marries Wei'er to Lan Ziheng, he not only loses his daughter's heart, but also offends Dongli. The eldest prince of Dongli is still unconscious, and the future throne of Dongli will be Jin Haoran's, and it will be a happy thing for Wei'er to marry him. (To be continued.) )
