Chapter VII: Confession (Second Update)
From Ling Yunyang's chat, Yan Qing can almost sketch the picture of Ling Hua and Xiao Zhen meeting and even selling him back then.
Ling Yunyang saw that Yan Yan listened seriously, and simply opened the chatterbox, since he had been forced to open his mouth helplessly, he had no taboos, and all his thoughts shook out, "The Second Highness said casually at that time, and she didn't plan to let her repay any life-saving grace, but she didn't expect that her tone was really not small, and she even dared to agree to such a thing as fighting for the throne." Does she know what it means to fight for the throne? After all, she's so small. β
Yan nodded lightly, "A six-year-old doll, still a woman, isn't it the age to eat sugar gourds?" β
Ling Yunyang laughed, "Yes, yes, my sister also loves to eat sugar gourds." β
Yan curled his lips lightly.
Ling Yunyang continued, "Don't look at the seventh sister's young age, but she is precocious, after she separated from the second highness, she will treat this matter as the biggest thing, she knows that she is young and can't do anything, the prince has to be favored by His Majesty, and the second highness can't be liked by His Majesty, fighting for the throne is really a fantasy, so she thought about it, first to improve the life of the second highness, she sent a letter to her maternal grandfather Wang Jin, Wang Jin learned that the second highness actually saved his granddaughter, Although he had reservations about repaying the throne with the throne for saving his life, he still listened to her, secretly made a move, and began to infiltrate the life of the Second Highness, supporting him from the subtleties and without a trace. β
Yan Qing suddenly, "No wonder from ten years ago, Xiao Zhen is a little different." β
Ling Yunyang's eyes widened, "You can see that?" β
How many stupid people in the capital, including His Majesty, the courtiers, and everyone in the former harem didn't see it.
Yan sneered, "A bunch of people are blind." β
Ling Yunyang gave a thumbs up, "How did you see that?" β
"It's shabby." The reason for the banquet is very simple, "Your Majesty doesn't like him, from childhood to adulthood, there is no reward, the harem minions worship high and low, he is a prince with no mother, no mother, no backstage, no different from a little pitiful, how good can he live?" It's normal to have no charcoal in winter. β
He sighed again, "But later, his second prince's mansion burned all the golden charcoal, the best charcoal, but the surface was wrapped with a layer of special charcoal, which made the good golden charcoal look like broken charcoal." β
Ling Yunyang's eyes widened, "You know this?" β
Yan was careless, "I know, originally the prince went out of the palace, at least sixteen years old, but he was ten years old, he obtained the permission to go out of the palace, presumably it was the result of Wang Jin's advice behind his back, I remember that ten years ago, His Royal Highness ran to the cold palace every day, and suddenly made a fuss to see Concubine Duanniang, His Majesty was bored and sent him out of the palace directly. After all, if he has been living in the palace, even if he helps, it is inconvenient to do anything, and the things he can give are very small, and the eyes of the people in the palace are poisonous, and it is inevitable that people will be detected. Therefore, when he moved out of the palace and then sent in the people arranged by Wang Jin through the Internal Affairs Office, he could completely turn the Second Prince's Mansion into a person who was all His Royal Highness's own people, and the real Second Highness's own chassis under His Majesty's indifference. Outsiders thought that he didn't know how to live a poor life outside the palace, but in fact, everything in his house was the best, even better than the prince, back then, I still suspected who was supporting him behind his back, but it was none of his business, and he didn't bother to get involved in the prince's affairs, it turned out that it was my fiancΓ©e. β
Ling Yunyang couldn't help but ask, "How did you know?" β
"Can't you see if you have eyes? I didn't even do it at that time! Even if he goes out of the palace, he always has to enter the palace to ask for peace, passing by the gate of the Second Prince's Mansion, he can also see the people coming in and out of the Second Prince's Mansion. Yan Qing gave a reason, "My grandfather told me since I was a child that if I want to learn to do things, I must first learn to see people and things, and then learn to be a person and do things." β
Ling Yunyang was in awe, "Awesome, awesome." β
If his brother-in-law didn't do it, then now, in the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, he would have to be the most dazzling.
Yan Qing continued, "The fourth uncle continued. β
Ling Yunyang said, "There is nothing to say about the rest of the matter, because I don't know very much, although the seventh sister was only six years old back then, but knowing this matter is a big deal, fighting for the throne, can you say it casually?" She was very tight-mouthed, and she didn't reveal it at all, and she didn't even tell her aunt, let alone tell me. Therefore, since the death of her maternal grandfather Wang Jin, she has grown up, and what she has done after taking over the property of the Ling family and the Wang family, I don't know very well, and he has made me concentrate on my studies at that time. β
Yan looked at him lightly.
Ling Yunyang saw that he was getting to the bottom of it, so he could only say, "When I knew, it was three years ago, she came back from Jiangnan Caoyun and was injured, and the second highness came to the Ling family to see her, the third brother and I were startled, I wanted to ask the seventh sister, but the third brother stopped me, didn't let me ask, and said that I didn't know." Later, His Royal Highness didn't come, so I didn't ask. Until this year, that is, the second highness found a few times late at night, and when she returned home, there was probably something important to discuss, some diligence, and then my sister said that I fell in love with you, I couldn't help but ask her and the second highness about the matter, she told me about the year, she said, both made a sword, that is a sword, charge into battle she is good, it is impossible to properly collect, so, she doesn't like Xiao Zhen, just repay the favor to support him, he can't ascend the throne one day, she won't finish saving her life in one day. β
Ling Yunyang's mouth was dry, and after finally spitting out all the details he knew, he patted Yan Qing's shoulder and said bitterly, "So, that's the case, you can rest assured, Seventh Sister won't like Xiao Zhen, what she likes is you, that's right." β
Yan nodded lightly, but still didn't want to let go of Ling Yunyang, and said to him, "If the fourth uncle said so, then he liked me before the marriage contract was dissolved?" β
Ling Yunyang blinked, wanting to nod, but he couldn't do it.
Yan Qing was very direct this time, "The fourth uncle will say it!" Anyway, I'll know sooner or later. β
"I've said everything I need to say, what else do you want to know, no more." Ling Yunyang shook his head.
Yan sat idly and said lazily, "For example, on the day I drank with Qin Huan in Xinghua Village, what did she do behind her back that made my head hot, and my heart was full of pity, so I married her for Qin Huan?" β
Ling Yunyang's eyes widened, "You, you ......"
He almost blurted out, you even know this?
He was shocked.
Yan lightly pulled the corners of her lips and smiled, "If you don't want people to know, unless you don't do it, since she has done it, it is impossible to hide it from me." β
Ling Yunyang felt that this was not very good, he looked at Yan Qing in fright, thinking that the fiancΓ© cooked by the seventh sister was afraid that he was going to lose it, right?
"Fourth uncle, let's talk about it!" Yan Qing seemed to see what he was thinking, "I don't want to regret my marriage with her, I have promised my aunt and grandmother that the wedding will be postponed until next spring." β
Ling Yunyang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but still shook his head resolutely, "I really don't know this. β
In order to prove that his sister and Xiao Zhen have no love relationship, for fear that Yan Qing would really scratch his face, he could tell the cause and effect, but this sister calculated his business, he couldn't say whether he was alive or dead.
Just ask, who can bear that they are calculated to get married? Especially Yan Qing, this person has always refused a hundred, a thousand, and ten thousand marriages.
He drank too much, but he wasn't stupid.
Yan smiled lightly, "Did she give me some medicine?" β
Ling Yunyang: "......"
He "banged" and lay on the ground, playing tricks, "Don't ask me, I don't know, you can ask the third brother about this matter, I study hard every day, how can I know so many things." β
He closed his eyes, covered his face with his wide sleeves, and no longer looked at the banquet, "I have a headache, I'm sleepy, I want to sleep." β
Seeing him like this, Yan Qing was also easy to speak, "Okay, fourth uncle sleep!" β
He already knew the answer, and when he returned home tomorrow, he would ask Dr. Zeng what kind of medicine there was to put into the wine, which would make people feel pity, and even an ant would be reluctant to step on it.
Ling Yunyang saw that he finally let him go, his heart was quietly relieved, the carpet was soft, he lay quietly for a while, he was really tortured by mental fatigue and drunkenness, and after a while, he couldn't stand it, and really fell asleep.
The banquet was light and not sleepy, and he was used to going to bed late every day, so he turned on the lamp, sat at the table, and read the book "Thirty-six Strategies for Chasing Husbands" that Ling Yunyang found for him.
Yunluo sat outside, very indescribable, thinking about the fourth son, obviously such a smart person, when he was a child, he was able to mix very openly in the circle of gentlemen in the capital, a radius of thousands of miles, three sects and nine streams called for wind and rain to scatter beans into soldiers, and he was also a character, but now, unconsciously, following the pace of the little marquis, step by step into the trap he set, and confessed everything.
When the master came back, he was really afraid that there was a chasing husband crematorium waiting for her.
