Chapter 270: Consciousness
After learning the news of Zhang Jing's killing, Yan Shichong, who had always been calm and calm, almost lost his feet.
Zhang Jing was the most trustworthy and capable person around him, and now losing Zhang Jing was equivalent to cutting off one of his hands, he was both shocked and panicked, and he couldn't recover from being stunned for half an hour.
Now that Yan Jinxuan has successfully arrived at Hamiwei and the third prince has also sent someone to kill his most powerful assistant, the conspiracy he spent nearly a month carefully planning is equivalent to not being exposed, so how can he be willing?
If this continues, when will he be able to realize his dream?
Since Yan Jinxuan's debut, his plans have been destroyed again and again, and his dream that has been brewing for more than ten years will be shattered because of this person?
Now he realized that he had underestimated this man.
But from today onwards, he won't take it lightly anymore.
"Yan Jinxuan, I am inseparable from you!" Yan Shichong clenched his fists and said.
When Yan Shichong sat down, he couldn't help but feel heavy.
Now that the Three Princes and Yan Jinxuan have become the number one people he has to deal with, and they have the support of the loyal ministers of the ten ministries, two evenly matched opposites have formed between him and them, if he can't tilt the power to his side as soon as possible, he will face more and more danger, so he must find a way to deal with it as soon as possible.
Now it seems that the plan of 'shooting the crown prince to blame the third prince' is not working, so he has to find another way.
And Zhang Jing, who can give him the most advice on weekdays, is no longer there, and he suddenly feels powerless.
At present, the most capable person around Yan Shichong is Wei Yuanting. However, Wei Yuanting is a person who is moody and invisible. is not as pure as Zhang Jing, so Yan Shichong believes in him and guards against him. However, by this time he had to reuse him. So he said to his subordinates, "Go and call Wei Yuanting." ”
Wei Yuanting soon came to Yan Shichong's side.
"Zhang Jing was killed." Yan Shichong said to him, quietly observing Wei Yuanting's expression.
"Really? That's a shame! Wei Yuanting said sadly.
"In the future, I will gradually transfer the things that Zhang Jing used to follow to you." Yan Shichong said.
The meaning couldn't be more obvious.
A trace of joy flashed in Wei Yuanting's heart, but there was no show on his face, and he said respectfully: "Okay, thank you for your love, I will definitely go all out in the future." ”
"Sit down and have a cup of tea." Yan Shichong stretched out his hand and signaled.
Wei Yuanting sat down across from him.
"What about your family? I don't think I've ever heard you talk about them. Yan Shichong said with a smile.
"My parents died when I was very young, so I was raised by my grandfather. My grandfather passed away three years ago, and I became an orphan. Wei Yuanting replied softly.
This is, of course, a lie. However, since he became Yan Shichong's doorman, he has always deliberately said this to outsiders. Therefore, speaking of this now is as calm as telling the truth.
"Really?" Yan Shichong looked at his well-educated and eagle-like eyes, a little suspicious.
"I don't dare to tell you half a lie, but the information below has been verified by adults." Wei Yuanting said with a serious face.
Before he became Yan Shichong's doorman, Yan Jinxuan helped him find a way to whitewash his true identity, so Yan Shichong's people naturally couldn't see any flaws when they went to investigate.
Yan Shichong looked at him. Slightly curious, he asked, "Didn't you have a wife?" ”
"Nope." Wei Yuanting replied. But the voices and smiles of his wife and children suddenly flashed in his mind. I can't help but feel a little trance.
He hadn't seen them in more than two years. But he would send them letters and money every three months.
"You are good-looking and capable, you shouldn't be unable to marry a wife." Yan Shichong was puzzled.
"It's a long story. But I don't mind telling you about it - Zai Xia actually had a wife, but then she passed away due to dystocia, and Zai Xia has always felt guilty about her, so there is no idea of remarrying for the time being. ”
Yan Shichong's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile: "I have a niece who is seventeen years old this year, talented and beautiful, and born in a scholarly family, if you are interested, I can help you pull the strings." ”
He wanted to further restrain Wei Yuanting.
Wei Yuanting hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, no, no, I'm used to the next person." ”
"But you're only in your thirties, don't you already have that need?" Yan Shichong asked in a low voice.
Wei Yuanting's mind immediately flashed his wife's dignified and elegant appearance, and his whole body was a little hot, and he hurriedly said calmly: "That's really not, I'm used to self-discipline." ”
Yan Shichong stared at his face for a while, waved his hand and said, "Then you should rest early." ”
……………
On March 3, the Shangsi (sì) Festival, the emperor took the crown prince and all the princes to participate in the festival.
Officials above the second grade also attended.
When Yan Shichong walked down the hill at the entrance of the emperor's ancestral hall, he couldn't help but think of his previous plan.
If it weren't for Yan Jinxuan, his plan would have succeeded at this moment.
How did Yan Jinxuan know about his plan?
He was so secretive at the time, how could he leak the news?
The more he wanted to wonder.
The more I thought about it, the more annoyed I became.
Even when he saw the crown prince and the third prince, he couldn't wait to stab him with a sword.
But the third prince walked over to him, smiled and asked, "Lord Yan, have you been too busy with state affairs lately?" ”
"Why did the third prince ask this question?" He asked with a forced smile.
"I see that you are much thinner than before, and you have a sad face, so I ask."
"Really? It's just a bit of a toothache today. Yan Shichong said with a cold face.
"Oh, then you have to heal it well, or where will you have the strength to deal with your enemies?" The third prince said with a chuckle.
Yan Shichong's face was flushed with anger.
…………
Su Shanyun's feeling of returning to the island city this time was different from what he had ever done before.
She often looks around with a longing gaze.
Countless times before, she wished she could escape the city far away, but now she wished she could find time to visit every corner of it.
As she sat on the wooden bench that her father had made for him on the trunk of a tree and gazed at the pedestrians on the street, the thought of 'being kind to others' appeared so clearly in her consciousness for the first time, and she felt incomparably peaceful and powerful.
She wished she could smile at each of them.
"Maybe it's because you realize that you're going to marry in the capital soon." Zhang Ying said with a smile.
"Well, I always feel that there is an indescribable feeling surging in my heart." Su Shanyun said.
"I've observed you carefully, Shanyun, you have always been beautiful since you fell in love with Second Master Yan, both in appearance and in heart."
Su Shanyun's face turned red, and she hurriedly lowered her head and asked, "Really?" ”
"Yes, Shanyun, a good man has such ability." Zhang Ying patted Su Shanyun's hand and said.
Su Shanyun suddenly missed Yan Jinxuan. (To be continued......)
