"That'...... It's getting late, and it's time for me to go back. Lin Qing really couldn't bear such a strange atmosphere, she glanced at Zhang Ziyan and motioned for her to go out with her.

"Lord, the concubine suddenly remembered that there were still some things that had not been done, so she would not disturb the prince's rest." How could Zhang Ziyan not understand Lin Qing's thoughts, and even said goodbye to Lu Chengxuan.

Lu Chengxuan glanced at the two girls, and a tacit smile appeared on his face, "It's really not early, let's go back." ”

Lin Qing couldn't wait to turn around and retreat, and Zhang Ziyan also pushed the door out of the way.

As soon as he went out, Lin Qing took Zhang Ziyan's hand and began to run towards his house. Her house was not far from Lu Chengxuan's house, so it was not far away, so it was very fast. After entering the house, Lin Qing immediately closed the door.

"Purple Smoke, why would you-"

Lin Qing didn't finish speaking, but was cut off by Zhang Ziyan's voice, "Xiaoqing, I know what you want to ask, but ...... I can't say just yet, please give me some time. ”

"What can't be said? Ziyan, if you encounter difficulties, you must sue me! Lin Qing obviously couldn't accept Zhang Ziyan's statement, looking at Zhang Ziyan's appearance and demeanor, she knew that there must be something in her heart, but she didn't seem to want to say it to herself.

"Xiaoqing, what I can tell you is that I didn't marry the prince because I was pleased with him. Judging from the actions of the prince, he seems to care about you very much, don't worry, I won't fight for him with you. ”

Lin Qing suddenly remembered that Yu Feng of Baihualou had told him that the concubine who was newly married to Lu Chengxuan was an undercover agent sent by the second prince. Lu Chengxuan currently only has one concubine room - Zhang Ziyan, who is now standing in front of him.

According to Lin Qing's understanding of Zhang Ziyan, she is definitely not a woman who is willing to be someone else's concubine. What's more, he still holds an improper purpose to be a concubine for others. Besides, Zhang Ziyan has always lived in that small place in Muhe Town. Why did he suddenly arrive in the capital and become the person who did things for the second prince?

The interpretation of this qiē can only be. Zhang Ziyan was coerced to do this!

"Did someone force you to marry the third prince?" Lin Qing asked firmly.

Zhang Ziyan subconsciously retorted: "No, I married the prince voluntarily, and no one forced me." ”

Lin Qing knows Zhang Ziyan, and Zhang Ziyan also knows Lin Qing. She knew that if Lin Qing knew that he married the third prince because of Zhang Miaosheng, he would definitely go to find Zhang Miaosheng's trouble! It is precisely in order to solve the trouble for Zhang Miaosheng that she will make a huge sacrifice to marry the Three Princes' Mansion, and she must not affect Zhang Miaosheng because of Lin Qing, so Zhang Ziyan has already made up her mind not to tell Lin Qing the truth.

"Actually, I ......" Lin Qing wanted to say more, but swallowed back what he wanted to say when he saw Zhang Ziyan's resolute expression.

"Since you don't say it. There must be your troubles. But Ziyan, I want to ask you not to hurt Cheng Xuan, if you are not careful, you may harm yourself. I know that you don't really want to marry him, and I will do my best to help you leave the Three Kings' Mansion and leave the capital if necessary. This is the best way Lin Qing can come up with at the moment.

Zhang Ziyan pursed her lips and did not speak.

This night, Lin Qing and Zhang Ziyan did not gossip for too long because of the reunion after a long absence, the two of them obviously had their own thoughts, and there were many things that needed to be taken care of when talking, so Zhang Ziyan left Caiweitang early and went back to his house.

……

After that, a few days passed without incident, until a natural disaster struck. The peace in the capital and the Three Kings' mansions gradually began to be broken.

In September of the 24th year of Xuande, a drought broke out in many towns in the Great Xia Dynasty at the same time, and the crop harvest fell rapidly, and the livelihood of tens of thousands of affected people was worried for a while. Panic.

The emperor's body had recovered a little under the care of various rare medicines, and he was already able to get out of bed and walk, and heard the news of the suffering of the people in the outbreak of drought. The fragile emperor immediately returned to a state of lingering sickbed.

As early as seven years ago, when the emperor fell ill, the imperial power had been handed over to Prime Minister Song Weiyu and the general Shangguan Yunyang. The two have been complementing each other for seven years. One main text, one main martial arts. When it comes to handling government affairs, it can be regarded as a tacit understanding.

Shangguan Yunyang is Lu Chengxuan's maternal uncle, and there is no doubt that he is biased towards Lu Chengxuan on the issue of imperial succession. As for Song Wei, in the eyes of outsiders, he is a rigid and stubborn person, and he is also impartial in his work, striving for fairness and strictness, his mind has always wavered between Lu Chengxuan and Lu Chengxiu over the years, and he has not made it clear which prince he will support to ascend to the throne.

When the news of the outbreak of the drought reached the capital, Lu Chengxuan knew that his opportunity had come. If he handles the drought properly, he will be appreciated by Song Wei, and with the support of his uncle Shangguan Yunyang, he will ascend to the throne just around the corner.

Dealing with drought is often easier said than done. If it is handled properly, everyone will be happy, and if it is not handled properly, it will inevitably only leave a bad reputation. This can be both an opportunity and a hot potato!

When Zhang Ziyan's knock sounded, Lu Chengxuan was lying at the side of the desk and thinking hard about how to deal with the drought.

"Lord, the concubine is in a hurry to see." Zhang Ziyan's melodious voice came from outside the door.

"Come in." Lu Chengxuan's tone was faintly tired.

In the next second, Zhang Ziyan gently pushed the door in.

"The concubine knows that the prince is worried about the drought, and the concubine is dull, so she has thought of a way, but she doesn't know ...... Can it be done? Zhang Ziyan said a little unconfidently, but her eyes revealed a confident gaze, and Lu Chengxuan almost couldn't take her eyes off.

I have to admit that Zhang Ziyan was born really beautiful. Even if Lu Chengxuan thinks that he is not a person who covets beauty, he will inevitably be attracted by Zhang Ziyan's appearance.

"Tell me about it."

Zhang Ziyan bowed slightly, and said: "The concubine thinks that there are two most important aspects in dealing with the drought, one is to the bottom, and the other is to the top. Next, we need to put ourselves in the shoes of the victims and give them the most suitable conditions. On the other hand, we need to meet their demands as much as possible, which is nothing more than reassuring the victims and rebuilding the affected areas, which can be easily solved after the victims are settled. ”

Hearing Zhang Ziyan say such a long list, Lu Chengxuan couldn't help but be a little surprised. In his opinion, most beautiful women like Zhang Ziyan are vases that are useless. Today, Zhang Ziyan said such a series of words as soon as he spoke, and he said it to the truth, which made Lu Chengxuan look a little impressed by Zhang Ziyan.

"You came up with this idea?" Lu Chengxuan's inquiring gaze swept back and forth on Zhang Ziyan, but he didn't see the nervous and flustered feelings he imagined from this girl.

"Yes." Zhang Ziyan raised a bright smile and said sincerely. (To be continued.) )
