Chapter 158: Xuanlan Resists the Decree and Doesn't See You
The Chungfu carriage drove slowly through the crowded streets, and the pedestrians around them were talking about the news of today's presidential election.
Wang Xuannian listened to the words coming in from outside for a while, and looked at Zhong Xuanlan, who was closing his eyes and recuperating, with a faint blue-black bag under her eyes, and her eyebrows frowning slightly, she should be under a lot of pressure, not only to arrange the event well, but also to prevent other people's calculations.
Zhong Xuanlan noticed Wang Xuannian's gaze, opened his eyes and looked at him, and said, "What's the matter with Little Master?" ”
Wang Xuannian said with concern in his eyes: "It's okay, are you very tired?" Do you want me to help you? ”
Zhong Xuanlan said: "You handle the affairs of Tingfeng Lou well, and then take care of Yang'er." ”
Wang Xuannian smiled and nodded, "I'm very happy to be able to help Lan'er." ”
Zhong Xuanlan smiled back and said, "What did Xiaofujun see about today's events?" ”
Wang Xuannian was stunned, he really didn't expect Zhong Xuanlan to discuss the topic of the election with him, in the past, he wanted to know, but he was afraid that she would suspect that he was planning the Zhong family, and he had never said anything about business, chambers of commerce or officialdom.
Seeing that he was distracted, Zhong Xuanlan also knew that the questions she asked were a little too much, thinking that Wang Xuannian didn't understand this, so he said, "If you don't know, forget it!" ”
When Wang Xuannian heard this, he didn't know how to respond for a while, and after a long time, he said, "Lan'er, don't you really mind if I pay attention to things outside?" ”
Zhong Xuanlan said: "If you mind, I won't let you know everything about the Zhong family." ”
Wang Xuannian was overjoyed and said with a smile: "I know." ”
He stretched out his hand to hug Zhong Xuanlan, encircled her in his arms, and said: "There should be various forces entering the Chamber of Commerce today, but I am very surprised that the Zhong family side branch participated in this election, this should be the opportunity given to them by Lan'er, does Lan'er want them to go to officialdom?" ”
Zhong Xuanlan leaned on Wang Xuannian's shoulder and said indifferently: "I want to send them on a road of no return." ”
Wang Xuannian turned his head to look at Zhong Xuanlan, and saw that she was playing with the jade pendant on his waist, which seemed random, but the momentum exuded from her body could not be ignored, and she was angry. "Why? ”
There are still many innocent people in the side branches, and they were once your people, how can you be ruthless and kill them?
Zhong Xuanlan raised his head slightly, looked at Wang Xuannian, his eyes were deep, his attitude was resolute, and he said in a solemn tone: "No one can move the Zhong family?" ”
Wang Xuannian saw Zhong Xuanlan's attitude, and at this moment, she also knew that there was probably no one in this world who could beat the position of the Zhong family in her heart.
I'm afraid that what he promised Zhong Tinghao won't come true, but he will accompany her to the abyss, and even if he can't see the exit, he won't let go.
Zhong Xuanlan ignored Wang Xuannian, who was distracted, half leaned on him, lowered his head, continued to play with the jade pendant, and said, "The Zhong family was saved by my grandfather's exhaustion of his life.
It is also because I have exhausted all means and paid a lot of costs to have today's Zhong family.
In my eyes it is like my child, I will not allow anyone to covet it, and whoever touches it must pay the price. ”
Wang Xuannian's hand holding Zhong Xuanlan's waist increased his strength again, making Zhong Xuanlan move his body uncomfortably, and also made him come back to his senses, lowered his head and looked at Zhong Xuanlan and said, "I will accompany you to protect everything you want to protect." ”
Zhong Xuanlan nodded stiffly, not intending to involve Wang Xuannian in his heart.
It didn't take long for the carriage to stop at the gate of the Zhong Mansion.
Seeing Zhong Xuanlan and Wang Xuannian get out of the carriage, Dong Solstice immediately greeted him from the door, stood beside Zhong Xuanlan, and whispered: "Big boss, the fifth prince asked his people to leak the news that the fourth prince is next to the Zhong family today, and it is estimated that this son has been passed into the palace." ”
"Hmm." Zhong Xuanlan said again: "If someone comes from the palace, it will be said that I am not there." ”
After speaking, Zhong Xuanlan pulled Wang Xuannian and walked towards the house.
As soon as she entered the Qingyou Courtyard, Yang'er ran in from the outside and complained: "Brother, you lied and deliberately sent me home."
Sister, you give me a comment, my brother clearly said to take me and Brother Oak to play on the street, and then go back to find my sister, but he asked Sister Chunzhi to send us back strongly. ”
Zhong Xuanlan saw Yang'er looking at Wang Xuannian angrily, the two of them had to quarrel every day, and she would help with the evaluation at first, but now that she is used to it, she doesn't want to care anymore.
She shook her head slightly and said, "You guys deal with it yourself, I'll go rest for a while" and left.
Yang'er blinked her eyes and looked at Wang Xuannian, her eyes flashed with tears, her mouth curled, and she said, "Brother, let's go to Grandpa Wan to comment." After speaking, he dragged the person who was supposed to rest with Zhong Xuanlan and walked out.
Wang Xuannian didn't want to go, but when he saw Yang'er's appearance, he was a little unreasonable, so he followed him to the backyard.
There are two flowers, one on each branch.
In the imperial study of the palace, Emperor Jingxi sat in front of the imperial case to review the folds, but his mind was not on the content of the folds at all, and his eyes looked out of the door from time to time, as if he was waiting for someone to arrive.
Suddenly, a white shadow appeared outside the door of the imperial study, and reported: "Master." ”
When Emperor Jingxi heard this, he hurriedly ordered someone to come in.
After the people came in, after saluting Emperor Jingxi, they began to report what he saw in the Chamber of Commerce today.
Emperor Jing Xi listened while analyzing what happened in the Chamber of Commerce today.
When he learned that all his sons had gone to the Chamber of Commerce, his face became very gloomy, and he couldn't help but think of the current court, it seemed that he needed to do something to let his sons know that he was not old and was still the ruler of the world.
After thinking about it, Emperor Jingxi ordered people to retreat and ordered: "Little Lizi, you go and bring Zhong Xuanlan to the palace." ”
Gonggong Li hurriedly took the order and walked out quickly, because he heard the emperor's coercion and anger from these words, and he was afraid that he would harm the innocent, so it was better to leave quickly.
Emperor Jingxi continued to review the recital, and after a short time, Gonggong Li came back and reported: "Your Majesty, the county lord went to Nancheng to deal with things, and now he is not in the Zhong family." ”
Just listen to "Smack!" With a sound, Emperor Jingxi threw the fold in his hand on the imperial case, with a slightly angry look on his face, and said: "Zhong Xuanlan is so bold, he put me together today, and now he actually dares to resist the decree, it is really lawless."
You go to the Zhongfu to guard, and if you can't guard anyone, don't come back. ”
After Gonggong Li received the order, he could only go to the Zhong Mansion to wait for Zhong Xuanlan.
Emperor Jing Xi squinted slightly at the empty imperial study, a calculating light flashed in his eyes, and he would let them know how powerful he was if he didn't put him in his eyes.
On this day, Gonggong Li drank cup after cup of tea in Zhong's mansion, went to the thatched house several times, and never saw Zhong Xuanlan until late at night.
And Zhong Xuanlan was also deliberately avoiding Gonggong Li, and left early the next morning.
It was also destined that Emperor Jingxi would not be able to see Zhong Xuanlan for several days, and he was very angry in his heart, but he couldn't arrest Zhong Xuanlan for questioning, so he could only put down the matter and deal with his sons who were jumping around in the court first.
