Chapter 721: Li Chen's Dependents (20)
"Smoke of the cold! Grandpa didn't force you to accept Chen Zhen'er, it's just that now, the emperor has spoken. Anyway, Yinqiao's girl was born in our Xiao family! Even if the emperor does not pursue it, but there will inevitably be discussions about this matter outside, and now, the prince has no doubts about you for the time being, but the old saying is very right - three people become tigers. When the time comes, someone will murmur a lot in the ears of the prince. It's hard to guarantee that the prince won't have any thoughts about you. When the time comes, it will be bad for Hui'er! In fact, when Li Chengdao returned to the palace, Xiao Hanyan saw that Li Chengdao had been sullen and unhappy, and secretly used Li Chengdao's tone, but Li Chengdao never told Xiao Hanyan what he thought in his heart, and now, Xiao Yu has officially broken this relationship. Xiao Hanyan couldn't avoid it.
"Grandpa! Granddaughter asks you!? Is the assassination of the prince really irrelevant to our Xiao family?! Xiao Yu shook her head:
"Cold smoke! This matter really has nothing to do with our Xiao family! Xiao Yu didn't dare to say to Xiao Hanyan - the cause of this incident was to secretly get rid of Chen Zhen'er's child. As a result, who knew that something else had gone wrong, Yinqiao's girl was really unfavorable! However, this matter really can't be known to Xiao Hanyan, once it is known, this matter will be confirmed. Xiao Hanyan didn't believe Xiao Yu's words very much, but he still nodded.
"Grandpa! What do you want me to do!? β
"Now, you're the only one who has stepped in. Because, after all, Yinqiao was once your personal maid. It's hard to guarantee that there won't be anyone talking about it outside. After listening to Xiao Yu's words, Xiao Hanyan nodded.
Li Chengdao was going to Laojunguan again this day, and Xiao Hanyan came over.
"Your Highness!"
"Hmmm! Aifei, is there something wrong? β
"Your Highness, the concubine heard that His Highness has encountered danger in Laojunguan." Lee Seung-do looked at the attendants beside himβmeaning who told the princess. Zhang Shuyin and Lai Heng both shook their heads. Xiao Hanyan looked at Li Chengdao.
"Your Highness, in fact, this is not to blame them, Your Highness is depressed, and has not been in the court for many days, now, the entire government and the opposition are secretly talking about something, even if there is no news in the house!?" Lee Seung-do did not speak. Because, Li Chengdao has always had some doubts in his heart, but he can't believe that this matter is related to the Xiao family, especially with Xiao Hanyan. Therefore, he has not said anything about Lao Junguan to Xiao Hanyan, and has even been guarding against Xiao Hanyan, Xiao Hanyan put his hand on Li Chengdao's hand:
"Your Highness, we are husband and wife! If there are any difficulties, we should face them together! Of course, our Xiao family is also responsible for this matter! Xiao Hanyan's words made Li Chengdao a little embarrassed. In addition, Xiao Hanyan held Li Chengdao's hand, and Li Chengdao felt a warmth from Xiao Hanyan's hand.
"Aifei, get in the car!" Li Chengdao and Xiao Hanyan came to Laojunguan in a carriage together. Daoist Xie Hong took his disciples to greet him at the door, and when he saw Xiao Hanyan getting out of the carriage, Daoist Xie Hong immediately became nervous - what did His Highness bring the princess for? Could it be that the princess came to Xingshi to ask for sin? Daoist Xie Hong looked at Zhang Shuyin and Lai Heng beside Li Chengdao. Zhang Shuyin and Lai Heng both shook their heads. Daoist Xie Hong had no choice but to tremble and welcome Li Chengdao and Xiao Hanyan into the Laojun Temple.
"Ahh I don't know who His Royal Highness and the princess are here this time? ......" Xiao Hanyan spoke first:
"Dao Chief, this time the concubine and the prince are here, not to pray for any blessing, but to take the second princess and His Royal Highness back to the palace, and ask the Dao chief to lead the way in front." After Daoist Xie Hong listened to Xiao Hanyan's words, his eyes were about to fall to the ground. Didn't Xiao Hanyan come to Xingshi to ask about the crime? Daoist Xie Hong didn't dare to stop him, and with Li Chengdao beside him, Daoist Xie Hong felt that nothing should happen, so he took Li Chengdao and Xiao Hanyan and others to the door of 'Chen Shuozhen'. In front of the door, Chen Shuda's subordinate mother who was sent to wait for 'Chen Shuozhen' was a little surprised, but what surprised everyone even more was that it was still behind, Xiao Hanyan knelt directly in front of the door of 'Chen Shuozhen':
"Sister Zhen'er, I am Xiao Hanyan, and today I am not here to represent that I am the concubine of Zhao Wangfu, but to apologize to you on behalf of a wife who loves her husband and a sinner who has made a mistake. Sister Zhen'er, please. Please don't torture His Royal Highness King Zhao anymore, everything is the fault of our Xiao family, please, please don't torture His Royal Highness King Zhao anymore, so that His Royal Highness King Zhao and Yong'er can be reunited. Let Hui'er and Yong'er brothers be reunited. Miss Zhen'er, I, Xiao Hanyan, on behalf of the Xiao family, have made amends to you on behalf of Zhao Wangfu. Li Chengdao hurriedly walked to Xiao Hanyan's side:
"Smoke! You can't do that, it's not your fault! β
"Lord Wang! It's my fault, if it weren't for me marrying the prince, you would have been with your beloved, and it wouldn't have caused so many tragedies later! Lord, all tragedies are caused by me, let me forgive all these tragedies here! β
"Smoke! You get up! It's none of your fault! β
"No, my lord! You are a noble of the Celestial Empire! You're not wrong! β
"Nope! Smoke! It's all my fault! The root of everything is in me! ββ¦β¦ Zhang Shuyin, Lai Heng and Xie Hong saw the entanglement between Li Chengdao and Xiao Hanyan's words, as well as Xiao Hanyan's actions, Zhang Shuyin, Lai Heng and Xie Hong only had one feeling - Xiao Hanyan put all the sins on himself, if Chen Zhen'er didn't come out, then all the mistakes would be borne on Chen Zhen'er. Because, no one will accuse a weak woman, nor will he accuse a powerful man. Zhang Shuyin, Lai Heng and Daoist Xie Hong all sweated for Chen Zhen'er, but there was no way. Zhang Shuyin looked at Chen Zhen'er's door. On the one hand, Zhang Shuyin hopes that Chen Zhen'er will open the door, and on the other hand, Zhang Shuyin doesn't want Chen Zhen'er to open the door, because, no matter what Chen Zhen'er chooses, all sympathy will return to Xiao Hanyan. But...... Zhang Shuyin's eyes never left Chen Zhen'er's door, and Chen Zhen'er's door opened. Chen Zhen'er came to Xiao Hanyan's side:
"Sister Hanyan, how can you be like this, it's cold on the ground!"
"Miss Zhen'er, if you don't promise me, I won't get up."
"Sister Hanyan, you're wrong, there is no Chen Zhen'er here, only Chen Shuozhen here!"
"Shuozhen!?"
"Yes, Chen Shuozhen, only Chen Shuozhen walked out of here. Chen Zhen'er is no longer in this world. Zhang Shuyin, Lai Heng, Daoist Xie Hong, Li Chengdao and others had different expressions after hearing Chen Zhen'er's words. Li Chengdao felt relieved - because Li Chengdao felt that Chen Zhen'er had no problem with himself and Zhao Wangfu from now on. In the future, Chen Zhen'er and Xiao Hanyan can live in peace. Daoist Xie Hong breathed a sigh of relief - this twist and turn has calmed down since then. But Zhang Shuyin and Lai Heng saw a sentence in each other's eyes - the war between the two women has only started now.
Chen Zhen'er's emotional entanglement with Li Chengdao and Xiao Hanyan was compiled into a commentary by people who did good things, and it was spread everywhere in the teahouses and wine shops in Chang'an and Luoyang. The noblewomen of Chang'an and Luoyang often use Xiao Hanyan's example to educate their daughters that they must have women's morality and femininity as wives. For the sake of family harmony and happiness, he did not hesitate to serve his husband's concubine (in fact, many nobles in Chang'an have a lot of complaints about Chen Zhen'er becoming Chen Zhenzhen, thinking that Chen Zhenzhen is a pseudo-nobleman, which destroys their noble bloodline, and invisibly, many people have a sympathetic attitude towards Xiao Hanyan, which makes Xiao Hanyan's reputation in the aristocratic circle of Chang'an and Luoyang rise a notch). And those ladies of noble families all hope that they can meet the same adventures as Chen Zhen'er (meet someone as handsome as Lee Seung-do, and have so many romantic stories, and finally marry into the royal family, and become a fairy couple with their loved ones), these stories also make some people feel worried. In the queen's bedroom of Chang'an Taiji Palace, Zheng Wanzhen, the queen of the Tang Dynasty, Pei Lian, and Zheng Yuanxiu, the national abbot, were discussing countermeasures:
"Lord Xiangguo! Now the whole Chang'an and Luoyang are rumoring that King Zhao, Xiao Hanyan and Chen Qi are really entangled in the past. The development of this situation is very unfavorable for our Hengshan King! Pei Lin nodded in agreement. Zheng Yuanxiu also nodded.
"Queen Mother! Indeed it is! Originally, in the case of Hangzhou enclosure, the nobles of the family in Chang'an and Luoyang would take the opportunity to suppress King Zhao, but they didn't expect that this incident would make Li Chengdao the focus, and King Zhao's romance was spread everywhere. For today's plan, the only way to do this is to let Cheng Lu'er come back as soon as possible, and let Cheng Lu'er get married as soon as possible, so that on the one hand, you can take the opportunity to transfer the attention of the nobles in Chang'an and Luoyang to King Zhao! On the other hand, now, Lee Chengdao has two sons. And Cheng Lu'er is not married yet, let alone has children! When the time comes, the position of the crown prince is likely to be King Zhao's. When it comes to children, Queen Zheng Wanzhen is even more blocked. At the beginning, he and Yang Yan gave birth to Li Chengdao and Li Chenglu in a few days. Now I didn't expect that Yang Yan has now been upgraded to a grandmother and has two grandchildren, and her son is still ambitious. Zheng Wanzhen thought about it, and immediately coughed angrily.
"Ahh It's important to take care of the phoenix body! Also, didn't Cheng Lu'er send a letter a few days ago saying that he was coming back soon! When the time comes, we will immediately handle Cheng Lu'er's marriage. Isn't it beautiful! β
"Ahem! What my father said was true! When Cheng Lu'er comes back, I must let Cheng Lu'er get married quickly, and I can't let him mess around like this anymore. By the way, father, Pei Xiangguo, I don't know if you have any suitable candidates? Zheng Yuanxiu and Pei Lin glanced at each other.
"! In my opinion, this bride candidate for Cheng Lu'er might as well be recommended by Pei Xiangguo! Zheng Wanzhen looked at Pei Lian:
"Lord Xiangguo! What a suitable person do you have! Pei Lin pinched his beard and said:
"Ahh Enlighten the mother! Is this a candidate? In fact, there is one, the age and appearance are quite suitable! Zheng Wanzhen and Zheng Yuanxiu immediately asked:
"Oh! Who is it! β
Li Chengdao's story has come to an end for the time being, below, I will write about Li Chenglu's story, how the plot will develop, please look forward to it!
