Chapter 63: Crisis
Zeng Yiling hesitated slightly, shook his head, and felt that Yang Lian had too many things to deal with. She denied being Yang Lian's wife just now, in addition to not wanting to make Princess Huairou sad, more importantly, once Yang Lian admits it, it is the crime of killing the head.
But Yang Lian refused, admitting that Zeng Yiling was his wife, on the other hand, it was also to protect Zeng Yiling, otherwise, all kinds of things that happened to Yang Lian and King Yan today would be unfavorable to the two. Zeng Yiling thought about these truths for a while, and naturally understood them. Seeing Yang Lian go away, Zeng Yiling had to sigh, and followed Lin Renzhao, Chen Tie and others back to the inn first.
At this time, Fu Jinzhan was pacing anxiously in the hall, heard footsteps, thought it was Yang Lian coming back, hurriedly walked a few steps, and when he arrived at the door, he saw Lin Renzhao and Chen Tie. For Zeng Yiling, Fu Jinzhan has some impressions, Fu Yanqing hid in Zeng Yiling's place at the beginning, and only then did she escape the catastrophe. It's just that in view of her identity, Fu Jinzhan didn't go to her father too much, so she didn't have much friendship with Zeng Yiling.
However, Zeng Yiling knew Fu Jinzhan , and she learned from Mi Shiwei that Fu Jinzhan followed Yang Lian south, and there was no need to say much about the deep meaning, so Zeng Yiling was not particularly strange.
Fu Jinzhan is also a smart woman, and immediately stepped forward and smiled: "This sister is so beautiful, what do you call it?" β
Zeng Yiling saw that she was very enthusiastic and didn't want to be fake, so she also smiled and took Fu Jinzhan's hand and said, "The concubine Zeng Yiling is a person from Xiaoxiang Pavilion. β
Fu Jinzhan smiled slightly, thinking that he really didn't recognize the wrong person, so he smiled and said, "Sister, Yang Lian went to save you, why didn't anyone come back?" β
"It's a long story, let's go inside." Zeng Yiling pulled Fu Jinzhan into the hall.
Lin Renzhao said: "Miss Fu, Miss Zeng, Chen Tie and I will go to inquire about the situation, and you can rest here with peace of mind." β
"There's General Laurin." Fu Jinzhan bowed slightly.
Lin Renzhao and Chen Tie walked out quickly, and Su'er, the maid brought by Fu Jinzhan came in with tea. In order to hide people's eyes, the dowry given by Fu Yanqing did not enter Jinling, and Yang Lian left them at the manor given to him by Li Jing, the Son of Heaven, so that they could be effectively settled, and second, they could help deal with the affairs of the manor.
Therefore, Fu Jinzhan only brought Su'er, the maid. Behind Su'er, it was Zhang Qili, when she saw Zeng Yiling, her eyes immediately turned red, and she pounced, saying, "Sister." β
"Okay, stop crying." Zeng Yiling touched her head and smiled lovingly, she was still a child who didn't grow up.
"Hmm!" Zhang Qili responded, raised his head to look, glanced around, and asked strangely: "Sister, you are back, why didn't you see Brother Yang?" β
"It's a long story, you listen to me first, don't worry." Zeng Yiling said, picking up a cup of tea and drinking it slowly, she had not eaten all morning, she was a little thirsty.
Fu Jinzhan smiled and said, "Su'er, go next door and fry a few dishes." β
Zeng Yiling glanced at Fu Jinzhan gratefully, and felt that she could be considered by others and was a good person, so she smiled and said, "Thank you, Miss Fu." β
Fu Jinzhan smiled slightly, nodded, and said, "Sister is welcome." β
Zeng Yiling sighed and said, "There are too many things happening today, let me talk slowly." "Yang Lian has already gone to the Qi Palace, presumably there will be nothing to do in a short time, and Zeng Yiling is not in a hurry for the time being.
After drinking half a cup of tea, Zeng Yiling said at this time, Fu Jinzhan listened, and frowned unconsciously, she knew very well that what was now in front of Yang Lian was a double-edged sword, and these things must be dealt with, otherwise it would be the crime of bullying the king, and the worst thing was to offend King Yan, although Yang Lian had signed a life and death contract with Li Hongji in advance, but in front of powerful people, it was useless.
Zhang Qili didn't quite understand the badness, but felt that it was a good thing that Brother Yang beat Li Hongji, the king of Yan. Especially when he heard that Li Hongji was disgraced and was beaten a few times by Princess Huairou, he immediately applauded with a smile on his face.
"Well done, but unfortunately he wasn't killed." Zhang Qili said.
Fu Jinzhan shook his head and said, "Fortunately, I didn't kill him, otherwise things would have gotten bigger." β
Zeng Yiling nodded, agreed with Fu Jinzhan's words, and said: "But in fact, he still offended Li Hongji, presumably he will take countermeasures soon." β
"I do have an idea." Fu Jinzhan said.
"What's the solution?" Zeng Yiling asked.
"Immediately find the ministers of the DPRK and the central government, impeach Yang Lian, in short, whatever crime is the greatest, impeach whatever crime, whether it is corruption, whether it is a spy sent by the enemy country, all the crimes can be put on Yang Lian." Fu Jinzhan said.
Zhang Qili immediately became anxious and said, "Sister Fu, isn't this pushing Brother Yang into the fire pit?" β
Zeng Yiling waved her hand and signaled Zhang Qili to be quiet, and soon she smiled and said, "Sister Fu, I know what you mean, I still know some people, so I'll go and prepare immediately." β
Fu Jinzhan nodded and said, "I'll go after eating." β
In the palace of King Qi, Li Jingsui seemed a little worried, and he received a secret report from Lin Renzhao that Yang Lian had a conflict with King Yan. Although he had a bad relationship with Li Hongji, the king of Yan, at this time, he really didn't want to have any conflict with Li Hongji. After all, he had just been named the emperor's younger brother, and he had not been in charge of political affairs for a long time, so he didn't want to make any mistakes and let his political enemies catch the handle.
At the same time that Han Xizai was demoted, Feng Yansi, Feng Yanlu and others, who had a good relationship with the King of Qi, were also demoted and exiled. Cha Wenhui was also sent to Jianzhou, and actively prepared to recover Fuzhou. And Song Qiqiu has not been treated well by the Son of Heaven recently, and the possibility of relying on him has decreased again, and Song Qiqiu is already old, Li Jingsui obviously will not put his hope on Song Qiqiu.
Therefore, Li Jingsui's biggest reliance is Yang Lian, he wants to recruit Yang Lian as his son-in-law, and he also further ties Yang Lian to himself. The Son of Heaven has been married, as long as Yang Lian and Princess Huairou become relatives, they will naturally be a family, and Yang Lian is also a relative of the emperor. At that time, if you fight Li Hongji again, the situation will be much better. Now that there is a conflict between the two, if His Majesty cancels the marriage, Li Jingsui's plan will be frustrated. Li Hongji didn't want to have a direct conflict with Li Hongji, so he asked his daughter to save Yang Lian, and he didn't know if it had happened?
Li Jingsui paced uneasily, how far had things got? He suddenly felt a little regretful, Huairou is a woman after all, I'm afraid I can't handle such a thing, think about it, the relationship with Li Hongji has reached that point, what else is there to avoid suspicion?
Li Jingsui thought about it and decided to go and see it in person, and just called a eunuch to ask him to prepare, Princess Huairou came back angrily, her face was very ugly.
"Huairou, something happened to Yang Lian?" Li Jingsui's first reaction was this, otherwise why would Huairou be angry?
Princess Huairou snorted coldly and said, "He's fine, he's good!" With that, he went away in a rage.
Li Jingsui was a little confused, since Yang Lian was safe and sound, who was Huairou angry about? When he was wondering, Yang Lian walked in quickly, saluted him, and said with a nervous and dignified face, "Yang Lian has seen King Qi. β
"Hehe, don't be polite." Li Jingsui saw that Yang Lian was safe and sound, and his heart was reassured.
Sitting down as the guest of honor, Li Jingsui couldn't wait to ask, and said, "Yang Lian, what is the point of your relationship with Li Hongji?" β
Yang Lian immediately stood up, saluted him again, arched his hand, and said, "King Qi, this time it's all Yang Lian's fault." β
"You talk about it first, and then you can do it." Li Jingsui said.
Yang Lian nodded, and said the matter without reservation, how Li Hongji robbed Zeng Yiling, how he got the news, what happened to Yanwangfu, and the competition in the school field afterwards, Yang Lian said it as it was.
Li Jingsui was still holding his beard and was a little determined, but with Yang Lian's narration, Li Jingsui was a little unsettled. Yang Lian actually has a wife, which he didn't expect. He felt strange, he had never heard that Yang Lian had a wife, what was going on? Li Jing plans to marry Princess Huairou to Yang Lian, as Princess Huairou, it is naturally impossible to be small, she must be a wife, but listening to Yang Lian's words, it seems that she has already had a marriage contract with Zeng Yiling.
Speaking of which, Zeng Yiling's name Li Jingsui has heard of and knows that she is a well-known woman in Jinling in recent years. In his opinion, Zeng Yiling is in a brothel, even if he is not selling his body, his status is low. Why did Yang Lian marry such a woman? Isn't this self-destructive?
Li Jingsui suddenly remembered that the reason why Princess Huairou was so angry was probably because she knew what happened. Li Jingsui naturally didn't want her daughter to be wronged. After Yang Lian finished speaking, Li Jingsui shook his head and hurriedly said: "Yang Lian, this matter is a bit big, but it is not without a turnaround. It's just that I don't understand, with your identity, why would you marry a dusty woman? Isn't this a joke about your future? β
Yang Lian had already talked to Zeng Yiling about the countermeasures, and immediately smiled bitterly and said, "King Qi, I never thought that she was actually my wife. β
"There's still such a story?" Li Jingsui was stunned, and the doubts about Yang Lian in his heart were solved, it turned out that he was a fiancΓ©e who was married to the belly, so it seems that Yang Lian is not greedy for beauty, and he is not a person who is faint in lust.
"Miss Zeng's father and my father were friends for eight years, and when we were born, my father became the master and set up a baby. But then the war broke out, and there was no contact with each other. When I came to Jinling, I also met Miss Zeng a few times, but because I hadn't seen her for many years, I didn't recognize her. But she recognized my identity from my jade pendant. Yang Lian said, took out a piece of jade pendant, quickly shook it, and put it away again.
"King Yan was rude and wanted to marry Miss Zeng, but in desperation, he only wanted me to ask for help, so he revealed his identity." Yang Lian shook his head and explained, looking like a sigh.
Li Jingsui groaned, Yang Lian said what happened very clearly, which made Li Jingsui a little embarrassed, from the perspective of time, Yang Lian never expected that he had a wife in Jinling, so there would be no deception when he received the holy decree. Of course, Li Hongji will definitely not think so, for Li Jingsui and Yang Lian, it is how to deal with Li Hongji's next wave of attacks. (To be continued.) )
