Chapter 116: Because I'm not a noble concubine
The ministers who remain neutral in the DPRK and China can't help but sigh for a while.
Although it is said that the person who participates in King Liang is the secretary of the criminal department, but those who understand a little bit know that Zuo Hongfei, the secretary of the criminal department, is the person of King Rui, if it is not for King Rui's single-hand planning, no matter how bold he is in the criminal department, he would not dare to participate in the most favored His Royal Highness King Liang.
King Liang, who was pressed by successive holy decrees, did not have a chance to breathe, he is now the third prince, no title, no mansion, and is confined in Dali Temple, although he is still clothed and fed, but he is no different from a prisoner.
He smashed everything in the room in a rage, but his eyes were still red, and he couldn't get rid of his hatred.
In the midst of the chaos in the room, he saw the red gold dark cloud token, and his eyes became gloomy again.
Tang Yanning lives in the countryside, and the news is inevitably blocked, and it was already three days later when the news of the capital reached her ears.
After reading the letter, she still put it in the incense burner, looking a little thoughtful.
At this rate, King Rui should be able to get the position of the East Palace soon, a little earlier than expected, but for some reason, she felt a faint uneasiness in her heart.
King Liang is not like someone who compromises so easily.
Before King Liang's plan of revenge could be implemented, the third holy decree was handed down, like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and King Liang's mind was clouded.
The holy decree announced that the third prince, Zhao Jingwen, as a member of the royal family, violated the law, vigorously advocated underground trading, despised majesty, regarded human life as child's play, had no mercy, and was not worthy of being the son of the royal family, so he was demoted to a concubine, confiscated all family property and recovered the Yunyan order, which was immediately executed.
The Cloud Flame Order is the Red Gold Token that mobilizes the Royal Secret Guard.
King Liang was kicked out of Dali Temple on the same day, all valuable things on his body were confiscated, and even the usual Chinese clothes were replaced with civilian coarse cloth.
He hatefully squeezed the holy decree in his hand, his knuckles clicked, and his eyes became more and more resentful.
A few days after the news about King Liang being demoted to a concubine, the situation in the capital has been turbulent recently, and Tian Gang's letter is not once a month, but changed to something to pass on, which is much more frequent than before.
Tang Yanning frowned when he looked at the letter from Tian Gang, and he didn't even notice that someone was coming from behind.
"What are you looking at?"
Gu Huaisheng passed in a crescent white robe in front of her eyes, leaving a faint scent of ink, gently took the letter from her hand, and glanced at it with a little playfulness.
Tang Yanning was taken away from the letter paper, and his face did not change much, and he originally wanted to find a day to tell him that he also had a little private business, but now he saw it himself.
"It's nothing, it's just to see how the store has been doing recently, and by the way, take a look at some news and gossip in the capital."
Gu Huaisheng casually put the letter in the incense burner and said with a smile: "Do you still need to use the letter if you want to know what gossip, isn't there a living Bai Xiaosheng by your side?" ”
Tang Yanning stared at the curling white smoke that came out of the burning letter in the stove, and said: "The mutual trust between husband and wife is the most important, you didn't take the initiative to say that you have your ideas, so why should I take the initiative to ask if I am bored!" ”
If a person really trusts you with all his heart, he will take the initiative to say it if you don't ask.
The corners of Gu Huaisheng's lips hooked, and said, "It's not that I won't tell you, it's just that I don't want you to pay too much attention to an outsider's affairs." ”
This outsider is self-evidently the King of Wisdom.
Recently, because of the fall of King Liang, King Rui has become famous, and the people in the city are very grateful to King Rui for seizing those illegal transactions and underground banks, and rescuing many women who have been auctioned.
The appeal of the people was loved and listened to by the heavens, and the old emperor was also a little moved, and the sick body temporarily let King Rui supervise the regent of the country.
This decree was announced, and there was an uproar in the DPRK and China.
For a while, the originally unknown prince became a hot successor, and all the ministers showed favor one after another, and the power pressed towards King Rui one-sidedly.
Gu Huaisheng knew that King Rui had different thoughts about her, and he always felt unhappy, even if they had already made a marriage, he didn't want her to know about King Rui.
After listening to Gu Huaisheng's words, Tang Yanning couldn't cry or laugh a little, and said with a smile: "You know, I don't mean anything else to him. ”
When he was injured and fell into the Prime Minister's Mansion before, Gu Huaisheng asked her, did she love King Liang?
At that time, she thought she had said enough clearly, but she didn't expect this man to have so much heart.
In fact, Gu Huaisheng never doubted her, but he just had some complicated feelings about King Rui, and subconsciously didn't want them to have any intersection.
He smiled and changed the subject, "Is your bamboo basket shop doing well?" ”
Tang Yanning shook his head, "It's not good, it's all been losing money recently." ”
After answering, he seemed to remember something, and said in surprise: "When did you know that I had a shop outside?" ”
"I knew it when you first started renting."
So early? They weren't married yet.
I was going to explain it to him, but it didn't seem necessary.
Gu Huaisheng looked at her surprised expression and said with a smile, "Not only that, but I also know that you have saved 10,000 taels in my name." ”
Tang Yanning was really surprised, "When did you know?" ”
"The day after you put it in."
So early!!
She thought her little vault was well disguised.
Gu Huaisheng looked at her and couldn't help but laugh a little, "You don't have to be so surprised, since you know that I am a Qishan monk, then you must know that I have a lot of sources, and it is not a trivial matter to know that the money you have saved."
"I'm just a little curious, we didn't seem to be married at that time, right? Why do you want to be in my name? ”
Tang Yanning was a little speechless when asked, and explained: "Because what my daughter's family owned before she got married was her father's family, so I saved it alone, and I knew early on that I would marry on my behalf, and my mother had already greeted me, so it was saved in your name." ”
I see.
Gu Huaisheng added a cup of tea and asked the question he had always wanted to ask the most, "Why do you want to marry instead?" Actually, you have the ability to resist, don't you? ”
He didn't believe that King Rui hadn't thrown an olive branch to her.
A dignified prince, a lonely and unknown talent, no matter how you think about it, you should choose the prince is more practical!
Tang Yanning lowered his eyelashes, paused for a moment and said slowly: "Because I am not a noble concubine." ”
When she said this, her tone was very flat, and she couldn't see her emotions, as if she was saying that I didn't eat today, but Gu Huaisheng keenly felt a trace of helplessness and sourness, and a trace of suffocation swelled in his heart.
Could it be that the Wen family forced her to be a concubine before?
That's why she'd rather marry than submit?
He stretched out his hand and slowly took her hand, his tone was as promising as a promise, "With me, you will not become a concubine in this life." ”
In this life, they are all my wives.
His expression was focused, and his eyes were full of love and pity, which caused Tang Yanning to quickly lower his head and stagger his gaze.
She had never been so carefully treasured, and she felt really overwhelmed by the tenderness he sometimes revealed.
