Chapter 440: Li Niangzi, Can We Trust You?
It was afternoon, the weather was clear, there were many pedestrians in the bazaar, and there was an endless stream of cars and horses. She was about to rendezvous with Li Chengxuan when a gorgeous carriage suddenly swirled past her, and at the same time, the curtain was lifted and a gap was openedβsomeone was peeking at her from inside the carriage.
Xilingyue reacted immediately, secretly said "Oops", and was about to find a place to hide, but saw that the carriage had stopped, and two guards rushed to her, stretching out their hands to her and asking: "This lady, my master invites you to ride with you." β
Xiling Yue saw that there was no way to avoid it, so she was forced to agree and board the carriage under the guidance of two guards. The moment she lifted the curtain, a faint medicinal fragrance came to her nose, and Tian Wuyan's surprised voice also came: "Xichuan County Lord, it's really you!" β
Xiling Yue raised her eyes slightly: "Tian Niangzi, I haven't ...... for a long time"
Before the word "see" came out, she was stunned on the spot, because in addition to Tian Wuyan, there was another lady in the carriage, and it was Li Wangzhen!
This time it was Xilingyue's turn to be surprised: "Mrs. Li, why are you here?" β
Tian Wuyan looked at Li Wangzhen, and stopped talking, but said, "You sit down first." β
Xiling Yue sat down as she said, and the three girls were all puzzled.
Li Wangzhen said first: "I just saw a person with a back image that was very good for you, I thought I recognized the wrong person, but I didn't expect it to be you." β
Tian Wuyan also asked curiously, "County Lord Guo, why did you come to Weizhou?" Does my brother know? β
Xilingyue didn't answer immediately, she carefully looked at the expressions of the two people opposite, and found that they really didn't know, so she spoke: "Brother Ling knows, we are living in Nie Yinniang's house in the west of the city these days. β
"We?" Li Wangzhen grasped the word sensitively, but would have misunderstood, "Is it both clear and coming?" β
Both Ming, Xiao Ming. Now hearing this name again, Xi Lingyue's heart twitched fiercely, and she couldn't hide her gloom: "No, we're ...... Broke up. β
Li Wangzhen knows the relationship between her and Xiao Yi best, and Tian Wangyan has also heard a lot. Therefore, both of them were surprised, and the former hurriedly asked, "What happened?" How did you come to Weber? Who came with you? β
The matter of Chang'an can't be hidden, Wei Bo already knows about it, and Xilingyue has nothing to hide, so he replied truthfully: "I came with King Fu, and I took refuge." β
She raised her eyes, took the shocked looks of the other two into her eyes, and asked hesitantly, "Mrs. Li, can I trust you?" β
Li Wuzhen nodded: "Don't worry, since Tian Servant acquiesced to your stay, I will never say a word to my father and cause trouble." β
Xiling Yue was silent for a moment when she heard this, and explained everything that happened after leaving Zhenhai. When she said that she completely broke up with Xiao Yi in Pingningzhuang that night, she couldn't help but moisten her eyes again, but she didn't know if it was for the Jingjing'er brothers and sisters, or because of the deception and use of the Xiao family's father and son.
The more Li Wangzhen and Tian Wuyan listened, the more incredulous they became, and the former's face gradually turned pale: "No, this is impossible...... He's not that kind of person. β
Tian Wuyan also asked suspiciously: "Could there be any misunderstanding in this?" β
"I saw it with my own eyes, and he admitted it with his own mouth, there was still some misunderstanding." Xiling Yue held back her emotions.
Seeing that Li Wuzhen didn't believe it, she didn't explain more, and instead said to Tian Wuyan: "Tian Niangzi, I have something to ask for. It's been almost two months since I left Chang'an, and I don't know how my parents are doing, so I want you to help me inquire, can you? β
Xilingyue's words were sincere, and Tian Wuyan couldn't refuse, so he nodded and responded: "Okay, I'll ask my brother today." When she said this, she still felt incredible, and asked, "Are you saying that your background is also a conspiracy of the Xiao family?" Are they trying to use you to get close to the Guo family? Collect for your own use? β
Xilingyue said "um": "In Luoyang, Xiao Yi deliberately shot through the throat of Shopkeeper Liu with a dart, pretended to injure my left shoulder by mistake, and treated me in public. It was only when Brother Zhongting saw the birthmark on my shoulder that he suspected that I was his long-lost sister. β
The more Tian Wuyan listened, the more frightened he became: "The Xiao family's father and son are scheming...... The mind is unfathomable. β
She looked at Li Wangzhen as she spoke, and reminded bluntly: "Forget Zhen, you have to think about this marriage again." Their father and son can use their adopted daughter, and your dignified Ziqing Festival is a daughter, I'm afraid you also fell for his beautiful man's trick? β
Li Wangzhen had been in shock all the time, pursed his lips and said nothing, but after hearing these words at this moment, his face was even more bloodless, he covered his heart and began to gasp rapidly, and his breathing gradually became difficult.
Xiling Yue was shocked when she saw this, and was about to call the guards to call the doctor, but when she saw that Tian Wuyan had already neatly put Li Wuzhen flat, took out a bottle of pills from her sleeve, poured out a few pills and fed them into her mouth. After a long while, Li Wangzhen gradually eased up.
Xilingyue suddenly found that the smell of medicine in the carriage was emanating from her, so she asked with concern: "Mrs. Li, isn't your asthma cured?" How can it be done again? β
Li Wuzhen was speechless, so Tian Wuyan replied on her behalf: "The year before last year was much better, but I started to commit it again from Layue, and the doctor said that it was a heart disease." Otherwise, why do you think you want to come to Weibo to relax? At this time, she should have planned the marriage at home. β
Planning a wedding? Yes, when his father-in-law left Chang'an last year, he clearly said that Li Shidao wanted to hold a marriage for his beloved daughter this spring. But because Xiao Yi has been stranded in Chang'an, this marriage naturally did not take place, and it was because of this that Li Wangzhen was depressed, so he came to Weibo to find a close friend in his boudoir to relax.
I saw Tian Wuyan and comforted her softly: "Forget the truth, you also heard the words of County Lord Guo, you didn't marry Xiao Yi as scheduled, maybe it was a blessing in disguise." β
Li Wangzhen had gradually calmed down at this moment, sat up in a trance, and suddenly raised his eyes to look at Xiling Yue: "Do you think my father is involved in this matter?" β
"I ...... I do not know. Xi Lingyue wanted to express her suspicions, but she was afraid that something would happen, so she had to answer against her will. Li Wangzhen's voice trembled: "At that time, my father agreed to this marriage, and I was so happy that I didn't even expect it. β
The implication...... Maybe this matter was already within Li Shidao's plan, imagine what method could win over the princes of one side the fastest and most appropriately? Marriage, of course.
If her father-in-law Xiao Zhiwu is really His Royal Highness Kangxing, once the restoration is successful, Xiao Yi will be the prince. Li Shidao's pearl in the palm of his hand is married to Xiao Yi, who is the justifiable crown princess of the new dynasty, and will become the queen in the future.
There are dozens of envoys in the world, but there is only one ruler of the new dynasty. Marriage, there is no more cost-effective business.
Obviously, Li Wangzhen thought more and deeper, and there was a hint of strangeness on her beautiful face, and her lips, which had finally recovered blood, turned pale again.
"Forget the truth, don't think about it too much, the top priority is to get rid of the marriage first." Tian Wangyan came up with an idea on the side.
Li Wuzhen didn't react, and he fell into some kind of emotion. She stared at Xiling Yue without blinking, first in shock, and then gradually in horror.
Xilingyue was inexplicably seen by her, and she was afraid that she would be unwell, so she hurriedly said: "Otherwise, let's hire a doctor." β
"Nope." Li Wangzhen resolutely refused, pondered for a moment, and then said, "There are some things I have to think about, and in a few days, we will meet here." β
She said that she had already lifted the curtain and pointed to a restaurant called "Drunken Flower Shade" on the side of the street: "On the sixth day of the fourth month, at noon, you called the prince together." β
"Okay." Xiling Yue should get down, and then got out of the carriage,
Say goodbye to the two.
After meeting with Li Chengxuan, she told the truth what happened today, and Li Chengxuan frowned when he heard it: "Xiling, you are too reckless." β
