Chapter 41: The First Divergence

After sitting down, Yiguang quietly glanced at the side of the husband's handsome man, and after being discovered by the latter, he quickly lowered his head and rubbed the corners of his clothes helplessly.

Fucha raised his eyebrows and said, "What, do you have something to ask this king?" ”

Yiguang nodded, then he didn't know what he thought, and quickly shook his head, looking at her nervous appearance, the husband said funny: "If you have anything to say, just say it, there are no outsiders here." ”

Yiguang bit his lip and said softly, "Is the king going to marry Miss Wu?" ”

This sentence made Fucha's face sink, and the smile on his lips gradually disappeared, "Who told you?" ”

"The slave and maid listened to what others said, and they said that the king was going to marry Miss Wu and make her queen." Yiguang didn't seem to see the husband's increasingly gloomy face, and said to himself: "Also, Miss Wu was born in a famous family, and she has always been by the king's side, going in and out together, in fact, except for a name, she has long been no different from the queen, and getting married is also expected; The king and Miss Wu are talented and beautiful, it is really a match made in heaven! ”

The more the husband listened, the more harsh he became, and he couldn't help but shout: "Ridiculous, when did this king say that he was going to marry Rong'er?" ”

Yiguang was taken aback, and hurriedly knelt down, "Slave damn it!" ”

Her plea could not make her husband angry, and she got up and walked back and forth in the hall, Wang Shen and the others lowered their heads as much as possible, lest they invite an unwarranted disaster.

After walking a few times, the husband stopped awkwardly and stared at Yiguang coldly, "Who is there chewing the root of the tongue?" ”

Yiguang said in a panic: "All mistakes are the fault of the slave maid, please don't anger others." ”

The husband laughed angrily, "You are angry, I'm afraid you can't afford this mistake, say it quickly!" ”

How did Ren Fucha ask, Yiguang always gritted his teeth, refused to say a word, made Fucha very angry, and deliberately blamed this disobedient palace maid, and was a little reluctant, and finally just focused on Yiguang's forehead, and said angrily: "You! ”

Yiguang knew that he was doing this, so he hurriedly bowed down to thank him, and then cautiously tried to say, "Isn't the king really going to marry Miss Wu?" ”

The husband said with a gloomy face: "This king said that he has always treated Rong'er as his own sister, have you ever seen a brother and sister get married?" After a pause, he added: "Don't say this kind of thing again." ”

Yiguang responded, and said again: "The slave and maid don't know how to speak, but there are so many people in the palace, I'm afraid it will be difficult to block the mouth of Youyou, and the king still has to think of a way." ”

The husband said thoughtfully: "What do you think is the best way?" ”

"Of course it's ......" Halfway through the words, Yiguang showed a look of panic again, and said timidly: "The slave doesn't dare to say anything." ”

"Let you say it, so many words." At the urging of his husband, Yiguang said "uneasily": "If Miss Wu gets married, or the king is crowned queen, everyone in the palace will not talk more." ”

Her words coincided with what her husband was thinking, and the Yue Nu he was worried about was "missing", and there was naturally no way to talk about it after he was established, so the only way was to ......

"Stand down." Without waiting for Yiguang's words, Fu Cha added: "These words are not allowed to be spoken to others, including the Zheng family. ”

"No." Yiguang saluted again, exited the main hall, and walked outside, Yiguang's eyes narrowed slightly, looking at the brilliant autumn sun in the sky, and the corners of his mouth curved a cool arc.

Yiguang went all the way back to the Mingfeng Palace, just in time to see a long figure leaving, entering the courtyard, Zheng Dan was admiring a pot of camellia of different colors, with a light smile on the corner of his mouth, this is still the first time after his identity was revealed, Yiguang saw Zheng Dan smile, although it was so shallow.

Zheng Dan turned around and saw Yiguang, and said with a smile: "Back?" ”

"Hmm." Yiguang replied and said, "Someone came just now?" ”

Zheng Dan bowed his head and said: "It's the second son, he sent a pot of camellias." As she spoke, she said in amazement, "Come and see, it's the first time I've seen so many bouquets of different colors on a flower tree." ”

Childe Mountain?

Yiguang said suspiciously: "Why did he send the camellia here?" ”

"I said that I was afraid that I would get sick in the Mingfeng Palace, so I sent potted flowers to relieve my boredom, and said many interesting things to me, and this mood was really much better; He also said that there is a strange green chrysanthemum, and he will send it over when he finds it next time."

Yiguang listened quietly, and after Zheng Dan finished speaking, she said, "Sister, don't see him again in the future." ”

Zheng Dan was stunned and said in surprise: "Why? ”

"My sister is a beauty canonized by King Wu, and he is the younger brother of the king, if there are too many contacts, it will inevitably attract criticism, so it is better to avoid it, so as not to chew the root of the tongue and spread it to the ears of King Wu."

Zheng Dan was stunned, and then said astringently: "The king has long lost me in his heart, so he is afraid that it will reach his ears." ”

"My sister's words are wrong, it's one thing for King Wu to have a sister in his heart, and it's another thing for his sister to interact with other men, and there are many people in the palace, I don't know what it will become; Ordinary men are taboo about this kind of thing, let alone the king of a country. ”

Zheng Dan bowed her head and was silent, not knowing what she was thinking, and after a while, she said a little absent-mindedly: "I know." As she spoke, she remembered that she hadn't seen Yiguang at noon, and said, "Where have you been?" ”

"I went to see King Wu." Hearing this, Zheng Dan said in disbelief: "You told him the truth?" ”

Yiguang shook his head and said: "It's not the time now, it's for Wu Rong's business, she bullied her sister like that, how can she let it go easily, look at it, there will be a good show soon." ”

Zheng Dan nodded casually, not believing that Yiguang could deal with that arrogant Wu Rong, only as if she was comforting herself.

After a moment of silence, Zheng Dan said, "Why don't you tell the king your identity?" ”

"It's not time yet." Yiguang looked at the distant sky with cold eyes, "Wu Zixu gave us such a good opportunity to separate him and King Wu, and we have to make good use of it." ”

Zheng Dan couldn't understand Yiguang's words, in fact, many times, whether Yiguang, Fan Li and Wenzhong, she didn't understand their words, after all, she was just a country girl.

Outside the palace, Wen Chong returned to Wenfu with a disgraced face, Fan Li was training the mountain bee that had just been sent a few days ago, and when he saw his appearance, he said: What's wrong? “

Wen Chong sat down on the stone bench and said in a deep voice: "Zheng Dan's identity has been exposed, Bo Yao just called me to scold me so bloody, and stopped the comprador errand in my palace, and all the goods I spent a lot of money to buy were crushed to death at once." ”

Fan Li was taken aback, and after listening to the reason, he sighed: "If you have a heart or not, you will inevitably suffer." ”

Wen Chong said with a cold face: "Since Zheng Dan has been exposed, Yiguang should reveal his identity, continue to spy on intelligence, and confuse King Wu; Why do you want to hide it, but I am not a person inside and out. ”

Fan Li muttered: "Yiguang must have her own reasons for doing this. ”

Wen Chong said disappreciably: "What truth can there be, I originally said that I would let her enter the palace, but something went wrong halfway, so I had to let Zheng Dan go on top; At this time, she should show her identity and eliminate the disaster, but she ...... It's just inexplicable! The more he spoke, the more angry he became, especially when he thought of the way Bo Yao pointed at his nose and scolded. He has always been exquisite, he can eat anywhere, how can he ever be scolded like that.

Wen Chong stretched his face and said: "You hurry up and write a letter, I will try to send it to the palace, and only by showing his identity can Yiguang calm down this matter, appease Bo Yao, and resume the comprador errand." ”

"Brother Wen is not a fool, Yiguang is resourceful, and an extraordinary woman, since she is arranged to enter the palace, you should trust her and be at ease."

Wen Chong scoffed at his words, "It's not you who is anxious now, so naturally you can rest easy." As he spoke, he said angrily: "I have invested all my savings in the past few years in this comprador errand, and I can hold on to it in a month or two, but if I can't collect the money in three or four months, all the shops will have to close down; Therefore, this matter must be resolved as soon as possible. ”

Fan Li's eyes were slightly cold, and he stared at him and said, "In Brother Wen's opinion, business is more important than recovering the country?" ”

Wen Chong was a little weak when asked, and said with a flickering eye: "I didn't mean that, just ......" His mind flew and said: "Without business and money, you will lose the capital to deal with Bo Yao and those officials, with the strength of just a few of us, what can we talk about recovering the country?" ”

Fan Li was silent, and after a while, he said: "Three months, if it is still like this in three months, let's find a way." ”

Wen Chong stared at Fan Li thoughtfully, "You don't want Yiguang to become the woman of King Wu at all, do you?" ”

A hint of discoloration flashed in Fan Li's eyes, and he immediately said, "No!" ”

Wen Chong caught the subtle discoloration in Fan Li's eyes, and confirmed the guess in his heart more and more, "You keep saying that you don't have any other thoughts about Yiguang, but in fact, you have already had feelings; On that day, Wu Zixu took Yiguang away, and Zheng Dan entered the palace instead, I am afraid it is just what you want; In this way, you can not only confuse King Wu and complete the great cause of recovering the country, but also allow Yiguang to keep his innocence, so that he can live with you in the future. ”

Seeing that the more he talked, the more outrageous it became, and Fan Li, who was as calm as Fan Li, couldn't help but be angry, and said with a sinking face: "Brother Wenzhong, do you know what you're talking about?" ”

"Of course I know that from the very beginning, you didn't want to enter the palace, it was she who insisted on it, so she gave up; You say that I value business more than the restoration of the country, why don't you? As he spoke, Wen Chong said with a sneer on his face: "Also, Yiguang is so beautiful, anyone who sees it will be moved." ”

Fan Li said with regret on his face: "When I was a friend with Brother Wen, I regarded it as a confidant, and I never expected that Wen would think of Fan like this." ”

"Yes, I don't want to enter the palace, because I promised Shi Gong that I would take good care of his only relative, not out of personal affection between men and women." Fan Li looked at the direction of Yue Guo from afar, and said word by word: "Since the fall of Yue Kingdom and the capture of the king, Fan Li has only thought about the two things of rescuing the king and recovering the country. ”

The more he said, the more sad he became, "It's just a misunderstanding by others, I never thought that even Brother Wen thought like this, it's really chilling." ”

Wen Chong also realized that what he said was a little excessive, and said, "I...... Isn't this also afraid that I will miss the great cause of restoring the country? Since there is none, it is the best, Brother Fan, don't take it to heart. After a little hesitation, he said again: "As for the matter of Yiguang, according to what Brother Fan said, wait for three months, during these three months, I will not interfere with any of her decisions, as for Bo Yao's side, I will try to deal with it." ”

Fan Li's face was a little happy, "Then it's hard Brother Wen, the training of the mountain bee has begun to bear fruit, and it is troublesome for Brother Wenchong to try to send Mi Tuoxiang into the palace, so that they can communicate with each other in time." ”

"Okay." Wen Chong was full of promises.

In the following days, slowly passing in the calm waves, Mi Tuoxiang borrowed Zhang Dali's waterwheel and quietly delivered it to Yiguang under the arrangement of Wenzhong.

A few days later, a swarm of slender bees "buzzed" into the Narukaze Hall in the early morning sun, circled around the courtyard a few times, and landed on several pots of yellow chrysanthemums.

Yiguang was persistently watering the shower, and when he saw this scene, a silent smile rose on the corner of his lips.
