Located in the mansion of Duke Zhou in Xingning Fang, a scribe was anxiously waiting for Helan Minzhi in the living room.

He was sent to secretly deliver a letter to Helan Minzhi, and what he wanted to tell Helan Minzhi was that the crown prince was preparing to search his residence. But now he has been waiting in the living room for almost half an hour, and he still doesn't see the shadow of Helan Minzhi. He couldn't sit still, seeing that the prince's men and horses were about to be killed in the Zhou Guogong Mansion, he would never see He Lan Minzhi again, and if he couldn't complete the task, he might accompany He Lan Minyi to be buried together!

After hesitating, he saw that there was no one in the living room, and no one in the courtyard paid attention to him, so he no longer waited for Helan Minzhi, but ran away in a hurry.

Besides, Helan Minzhi is in the Principality of Zhou's Mansion, but not in his own courtyard, but in a small courtyard in the back garden of the mansion.

Because this small courtyard is in the back garden of the principality, it seems very remote, and the plum blossoms in the back garden are blooming, and the environment is very quiet. But it's just such a place to enjoy the scenery. There was a quarrel in the small courtyard of the garden.

"Little lady of the Zhou family, you have to think about it clearly, this time it is not someone who forced you, it was you who you wanted, no matter who asks you in the future, you have to answer like this?" I saw Helan Minzhi in the small courtyard and said to Zhou Juan.

Since Mr. Zhao gave him an idea last time, he sent someone to send only one letter to Zhou Juan, and this woman, who was known as a martyr, obediently listened to his order, and avoided the eyeliner arranged by Li Hong near the green onion noodle restaurant and came to the Principality of Zhou's mansion. And because this is the Yang family's mansion, he arranged Zhou Juan in his yard for fear of being discovered by the Yang family, so he settled Zhou Juan here.

Zhou Juan's face was very pale, and she looked very haggard.

In the past two days, she thought about it a lot, and finally compromised with Helan Minzhi.

And today, she finally made up her mind to agree to Helan Minzhi's request, so she called Helan Minzhi to the small courtyard. Seeing that she listened to Helan Minzhi's words, she glanced at He Lanmin with disdain, and then said in a cold tone, "Since the slave family has promised the Duchy of Zhou, it will not go back on it." However, the Duchy of Zhou must also remember what he said, and he must release Zhou Xing immediately, and he will not be embarrassed in the future. ”

If He Lan Minzhi hadn't arrested her younger brother Zhou Xing and threatened herself with Zhou Xing's life, how could she agree to marry He Lan Minzhi as a concubine?

It's just that if you do it yourself, you can only live up to the man you have in mind. When I think of the first time I met him, the memories of getting along with him, and the happy moments I had. Even if her character is chaste, her eyes are full of tears at this moment.

Helan Minzhi watched coldly, he knew why Zhou Juan was crying at this time, wasn't it because of the crown prince Li Hong?

Because Zhou Juan has fallen in love with the crown prince Li Hong.

Therefore, when he saw Zhou Juan crying with tears on her face, his heart was very happy. And the humiliation that was pressed in my heart after being bullied and beaten by Li Hong that day was also reduced a lot. Thinking that in two days, when this chaste woman was about to be ridden and toyed with by herself, he thought of the painful expression of the crown prince Li Hong when he knew this scene, and his heart was even more comfortable.

"You can rest assured about this, my Helan Minzhi's words will naturally count. Moreover, in the future, I will not only avoid Zhou Xing's trouble, but also help him in the high school imperial examination and recommend him to enter the court as an official. Helan Minzhi said in a condescending tone.

"Of course, you also remember what you said today, you are voluntarily marrying me as a concubine, no one forced you, even when Your Majesty and Niangniang and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked, you have to answer like this." Helan Minzhi reminded again.

It is not difficult to force Zhou Juan to marry him as a concubine, but the difficult thing is that the prince knows how to solve this matter in the future.

And as long as Zhou Juan admits that she took the initiative to marry her, then even if the prince knows, he will be helpless against himself. Because he didn't persecute Zhou Juan, when the time comes, if the prince wants to do anything to himself, he will have a reason to confront him in Zichen Palace.

Therefore, Helan Minzhi reminded Zhou Juan many times to remember what he said.

And Zhou Juan didn't know that Helan Minzhi said this to guard against Li Hong, so she naturally agreed without hesitation, "Don't worry, as long as you agree to my request and release Zhou Xing, if Your Majesty asks about it with Niangniang and the prince in the future, I won't tell you about it." ”

Helan Minzhi knew a little bit about Zhou Juan's character, and she was a lot more relieved to see her say this.

At this time, he was also bold, so he took two steps forward and walked in front of Zhou Juan, raised Zhou Juan's jaw with one hand, and said in a lewd tone, "After three days, you will wait to enter the cave room with me...!" ”

It's just that before he finished his words, he saw Helan Chong hurriedly walk into the small courtyard, "Lang Jun, something is wrong." ”

His good things were suddenly disturbed by someone like this, and He Lanmin asked with an unhappy face, "Helan Chong, what made you so flustered?" ”

Helan Chong said nervously, "Lang Jun, it's not good! The prince led people to rush into the palace, saying that they were going to search for a batch of gold, silver and jade, and they were almost in the back garden..."

"What?" Helan Minzhi was frightened by Helan Chong's answer, and he asked eagerly after half a sound, "What about Mrs. Rongguo?" She, why didn't she stop the prince and them? ”

"This, before Mrs. Rongguo could speak after seeing the prince, she was already tied up by the prince's personal guards." Helan Chong said in horror.

In the past, he relied on Helan Minzhi's power to bully the people everywhere, even when he saw the members below the third grade, he didn't pay much attention to it, and because of the relationship between Helan Minzhi and the prince, the prince was a sick man who was weak in the East Palace, so he didn't put the prince in his eyes, which is why he wanted to rush forward last time when Helan Minzhi was humiliated in front of Danfeng Gate.

And even if he was cut off by Li Hong last time in Danfengmen, he only hated Li Hong but was not afraid.

However, today he saw that the queen's mother, the prince's maternal grandmother, Mrs. Rongguo, didn't say a word in front of the prince, and was ordered to be tied up by the prince, he realized that he was wrong, the previous prince with a weak body and a cowardly personality was just an illusion he saw, and today this ruthless and murderous His Royal Highness the prince is the real prince of the Tang Dynasty.

"Quick, you hide her, I'll go and have a look."

Seeing that Mrs. Rongguo couldn't stop Li Hong, Helan Minzhi knew that he was more than lucky today, so after saying this to Helan Chong, he left in a hurry.

However, Helan Minzhi hurriedly left the back garden, and instead of walking to the front yard, he ran straight to the back door of the Guogong Mansion.

He was going to run away - because he knew that the prince had even tied up the Yang family when he searched the Guogong Mansion today, so what use could he do if he was going to the front yard? The only way is to quickly escape and complain to his aunt, as long as he tells his aunt about the prince's kidnapping of Mrs. Rongguo, he believes that his aunt will be furious and will send someone to yell at the prince, so that the prince will not find the gold, silver and jade and Zhou Juan he hid in the mansion.

This is Helan Minzhi's shrewdness.

Helan Minzhi hurriedly came to the back door of the Guogong Mansion, and when he quickly opened the door and rushed out of the Guogong Mansion, he just ran two steps forward, and his body froze. Because he raised his head, he saw that the thirty Chang'an County officials in this alley were quietly watching him like monkeys, led by an official in his forties.

"What are you?" Helan Minzhi roared.

"The lower official Chang'an County Lord Bo Luobin Wang has been waiting for Zhou Guogong for a long time, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is waiting for Zhou Guogong in the mansion, and he also asked Zhou Guogong to go with the lower officials to see the prince." Luo Bin Wang glanced at Helan Minzhi contemptuously and said.

When he first arrived in Chang'an City, he heard about Helan Minzhi's domineering behavior, so even if Helan Minzhi's status was noble, and he was the prince of the attack, he was still a free rider from the third grade, but King Luo Bin despised his character and didn't have to look at him with his eyes.

"King Luo Bin, Niangniang is my scene, I am Niangniang's nephew, I have something to go into the palace to report to Niangniang, if you are..."Helan Minzhi still wants to use the Empress Wu to suppress King Luo Bin, but who is King Luo Bin? How could he be a person who was afraid of the powerful, otherwise Li Hong would not have arranged King Luo Bin here, so before Helan Minzhi's words were finished, King Luo Bin snorted disdainfully and said, "Why don't you take it down for this official and tie him up!" ”

As soon as the officials heard this, they knew Helan Minzhi's identity, but now they were doing things for the prince, so they naturally didn't dare to slack off, and as soon as they agreed, they rushed forward and tied Helan Minzhi into a zongzi.

When Helan Minzhi was tied to the main hall of the Duchy of Zhou's mansion, he saw that the crown prince Li Hong was drinking tea on the main seat, and Yang was accompanying him.

Helan Minzhi, who saw this scene, was very surprised, the Yang family was not tied up, how could he drink tea here? But when his eyes looked around the hall again and saw Helan Chong, who had been tied up with five flowers, and Zhou Xing, who had a blue nose and swollen face, he let out a scream of sorrow in his heart, because he knew that he was finished, because he knew that the matter of using Zhou Xing to persecute Zhou Juan had been exposed.

If it was anything else, it was estimated that his sister would come forward, and Empress Wu would come forward to make it clear, he believed that Li Hong would still give these two people a face, and would not hold him accountable.

But now that Zhou Juan's matter has been exposed, this is not easy to do.

dared to force the woman the prince liked to be his concubine, he knew that if this matter reached the ears of the Empress Wu, he would have ten more sisters to intercede, and it was probably useless!

And what shocked He Lanmin even more was that the Yang family didn't look like someone who had been kidnapped by Li Hong, if the Yang family knew that she forced Zhou Juan to be her concubine, what would she think? Without her support, can I still be as arrogant as before in the future?

Thinking of this, Helan Min was angry, and then he saw Zhang Bo, the county prince sitting at the head of His Royal Highness, and a mouthful of blood gushed out...
