Chapter 16: Wind Chill
Ling Hua's words completely removed the heavy boulder that was pressed on the bottom of Xiao Zhen's heart.
He relaxed and smiled, "If you know I didn't mean to." β
He knows which is more important, he went out of Beijing to go to Hengchuan County for disaster relief on the order of the emperor, but his bigger and more important thing is to find out the relationship behind the East Palace and the Hengchuan County embankment erosion, and get the evidence behind the Hengchuan County embankment erosion, he knows how much hard Ling Hua has spent to pull down Xiao Ze, of course, he himself has endured for many years, although he wants to satisfy his own selfish desires to prevent her from marrying Yan Qing, but he will definitely not be able to delay the big thing for this.
They have worked hard for ten years, for what? How can you self-destruct the city walls? He himself didn't allow himself to do that, and Ling Hua didn't allow him to do that, if he really sat like that, he wouldn't have sat here in harmony with Ling Hua, Ling Hua would have already turned his face with him, and he wouldn't have comforted him in turn.
Ling Hua took a sip of tea and said to him depressedly, "Do you know why you were kidnapped and came to Lingshan? β
Xiao Zhen looked at her, "Isn't it Lingshan who is involved in you and me because of the internal strife?" β
Ling Hua nodded and shook his head, "It's because of Wen Xingzhi." β
Xiao Zhen was stunned, "Wen Xingzhi? β
He thought about it for a while, and then remembered who Wen Xingzhi was, "Wen Qiliang's son?" β
"It's him."
Xiao Zhen frowned, "Didn't he always participate in the collusion between the Wen family and the East Palace?" β
"Now I'm involved."
Xiao Zhen's brows were knotted, "Isn't Wen Xingzhi very powerful?" I remember you once said that fortunately, he didn't know what was going on, and he didn't help the East Palace, and he also restricted Wen Qiliang's manpower, material and financial resources to help the East Palace, why did he suddenly make a move now? β
And all at once against him?
Ling Hua didn't hide it from him, "He's coming for me." β
Xiao Zhen sat up straight all of a sudden, staring at Ling Hua, "He has taken a fancy to you?" β
"Not really." Ling Hua shook his head, there was nothing to hide from him, and truthfully told Xiao Zhen the reason that Wen Xingzhi gave her at the beginning.
Xiao Zhen's expression was strange after hearing this, "What a strange thing is he." β
Ling Hua also felt that Wen Xingzhi was strange, but Xiao Zhen's indescribable expression made her want to laugh, "I didn't promise him." β
Xiao Zhen knew that she didn't agree, so he was robbed of Lingshan, it turned out that Wen Xingzhi's purpose was to prevent her from getting married, and he really succeeded.
Ling Hua put down the teacup, "Not only that, he also robbed Wu Yi to the Wen family in Youzhou one step in advance, and protected his territory, if I don't agree to him, Wu Yi and his evidence will be submerged, and Xiao Ze can avoid it safe and sound this time." β
Xiao Zhen didn't know what to say for a while, and gritted his teeth, "Wen Xingzhi is so powerful, you really didn't underestimate him." β
"Even if I didn't underestimate him, I still lost to him in this game." Ling Hua shook the fan, "Youzhou is the territory of the Wen family, after Wu Yi and his people enter the Wen family, we have no way to get people out of his hands, if we miss this time, if we want to bring down Xiao Ze, we have to find another opportunity." β
Xiao Zhen could see it, "Then forget it, just find another chance." Originally, my father was now in his prime, and he immediately brought down Xiao Ze, and he didn't necessarily think that my father would look at me and make me the crown prince. β
Ling Hua nodded, "I missed this time, there is Wen Xingzhi in the middle, and I have to deal with the East Palace, I'm afraid there will be some grinding." β
"I'm only twenty, even if I grind for ten years, what are I afraid of?" Xiao Zhen didn't care.
Ling Hua glared at him, "Didn't you want to save your mother from the cold palace earlier?" After another ten years, you will be thirty, and your mother should be a white-haired old woman. β
Xiao Zhen pursed his lips.
"There's always going to be another chance." Ling Hua self-examined, "Although I didn't underestimate the enemy this time, it was also because I was bent on preparing for the big wedding and didn't take precautions as soon as possible, where did I think that Wen Xingzhi would use Lingshan to dig such a big pit behind me through you." β
Her mind was on embroidering the wedding dress at that time, for Lingshan, she really didn't think that there was such a big hole, Wen Xingzhi's hand was able to reach into Lingshan, coupled with Ye Rui's acquiescence, which led to this result.
Xiao Zhen asked, "The wedding date is definitely not going back, can you write to him and say that the marriage will be postponed?" β
"Got it." Ling Hua thought that the letter should have arrived in the capital long before the Mid-Autumn Festival, "He may be happy that he doesn't need to get married." β
Xiao Zhen smiled unceremoniously, "You deserve it, you have to look at him." β
Such a thing, I don't understand what the love between men and women is, except for a face, what makes her look at?
Ling Hua wanted to refute him, but seeing that he had rarely returned to his former appearance, he swallowed back the words that came to his lips. Say to him, "Did I get the letter I wrote to you before you had an accident?" β
"Hmm."
Ling Hua looked at him carefully, "Regarding Wen Xirou, it also surprised me, what do you say?" β
Xiao Zhen was expressionless, "What else can I say?" I will not marry the daughter of the Wen family, let alone marry a woman I don't like for that position. β
Ling Hua had already expected it and nodded, "People are growing up very much, and if you don't see what you like, you don't have to rush to entrust it with big things." What's more, we are not at nowhere to go, but we don't need you to sell yourself. β
Xiao Zhen snorted fiercely, almost blowing up his lungs, "How do you speak?" β
Didn't he meet someone he liked? He had already met the person he liked, just because he met him too early, when he was young, he didn't know that she would become the person he wanted to marry in the future.
Still selling yourself?
He wanted to sell it to her, but she didn't.
Ling Hua gave Ye Rui ten days, and she was sure that Ye Rui would agree, although Lingshan now has the strength to confront the imperial court, but that is based on her not making trouble, if she makes trouble, then Lingshan's backyard will catch fire.
What's more, Ye Rui also knew that Lingshan had been fighting for so many years, and the internal friction was very serious, and it was not suitable for raising troops and causing chaos. Therefore, he chose peace talks and agreed to the conditions, which was the most conducive choice for the development of Lingshan.
So, since Ling Hua couldn't go back, he was not in a hurry, and waited for Ye Rui in Lingshan to negotiate the day with peace of mind.
In the capital, thousands of miles away, after Yan Qing tossed back to Duanjing Houfu from Ling's house in the middle of the night under heavy rain that day, he contracted a cold due to the rain the next day.
Dr. Zeng took Yan lightly, and said inappropriately, "If you suffer from the wind and cold, just drink a few pairs of medicine." β
Yan Qing lay on the bed and said unhappily, "I don't drink medicine." β
Dr. Zeng glared, "Your cold is a bit serious, don't look at your body and bones, you can't survive without drinking medicine, you must drink medicine." β
The banquet was light, "If you can't stand it, you can't stand it." β
Dr. Zeng pouted and taught him, "Is your little life your business alone?" Don't be ignorant, I'll prescribe you medicine that isn't bitter. β
Yan paused lightly, "My little life, why is it not my business alone?" β
Dr. Zeng stroked his beard, "Don't forget, you are a person with a fiancΓ©e." β
Yan snorted lightly and lifted his eyelids, "Have you forgotten about the Compassion Grass?" β
He also has a ghost's fiancΓ©e.
Doctor Zeng choked, and his momentum suddenly became shorter, so that he could say a good amount of authenticity, "I'll make you a pill, the kind wrapped in sugar skin, don't drink medicinal soup." β
Don't buy it, "Don't eat." β
Dr. Zeng never begged anyone to take his medicine, he was begged to see a doctor, and in the face of the banquet, this was the first time, he suppressed his temper and asked, "Then how do you take the medicine?" β
"I don't eat anything." Don't buy it.
Doctor Zeng didn't hesitate, and turned his head to look at Yunluo.
Yun Luo stood aside and was silent for a long time, seeing that Doctor Zeng seemed to think of a way to think of a way, and after a while, he spoke, "Little Hou Ye, the illness is on your own, if you don't take medicine so much, you hurt yourself, and you can't survive, even if the master comes back after finishing things, what strength do you have to settle accounts with the master?" β
The feast was light.
Yunluo saw the opportunity and continued, "The master is far away in the sky, and now you are so uncomfortable and tortured yourself, the master can't see it, and you don't let your subordinates pass the message, and the master doesn't know." How smart you are, how can you ......"
Yan Qing suddenly exploded, and suddenly sat up from the bed, "Who tortured themselves uncomfortably?" β
When he was happy to get caught the cold? Uncomfortable to die personally.
Yun took a step back and lowered his head very respectfully, "So, you have to take medicine even more." β
Yan Qing stared at Yunluo for a while, and suddenly laughed angrily, "Sure enough, what kind of master has what kind of subordinates." You're pretty good at manipulating people's hearts. β
Yunluo hurriedly lowered his sense of existence, "The subordinates don't dare." β
Yan snorted coldly and said to Doctor Zeng, "Go get the pills, I'll eat them now." β
Doctor Zeng nodded immediately, "Old man, let's go." β
After Dr. Zeng left in a hurry, Yunluo didn't dare to stand in front of the window anymore, and quickly retreated.
It was still raining heavily, and even though there were drainage ditches all over the house, the water was half a foot deep.
The room was quiet, and Yan Qing sat alone on the bed, looking out the window at the world that was unclear under the rain curtains, and his heart was irritable.
