Chapter 843: Da Lang proposes
Seeing Chen Qinglian's surprised appearance, Princess Henan smiled happily: "That's just a rumor, the holy mountain snow lotus given to Huaiyang Palace by His Majesty has always been well preserved." ”
It doesn't matter if it's a rumor or not, the important thing is that she has seen the herbs with her own eyes, and hope has rekindled in Chen Qinglian's heart.
She looked at the princess of Henan with a hopeful face, and pleaded sincerely: "Presumably, the princess already knows that my mother is suffering from a serious disease and needs this snow lotus, and she also asks the princess to cut her love and give me this snow lotus."
"Of course, I won't take this snow lotus for nothing, I can buy it with money......"
The princess of Henan lowered her face and interrupted her: "You think I'm short of money?" ”
Chen Qinglian's expression was stunned, the king of Huaiyang is a clan, and the Huaiyang palace will naturally not be short of money, and the princess of Henan will not be short of money.
She squeezed out a smile and begged again: "As long as the princess is willing to give me this snow lotus, the princess can do whatever she wants." ”
"Is it really anything to do?" The princess of Henan leaned forward, her eyes locked tightly on Chen Qinglian's face.
Chen Qinglian immediately realized that she was too eager and spoke too much, so she immediately changed her words: "What does the princess want?" ”
Hearing this, a faint hint of success flashed in Princess Henan's eyes, but she didn't show it, but sat upright and said casually: "Actually, what I want is not a loss for you, on the contrary, it is beneficial to you."
"As long as Erniang and Pingnanhou settle their relationship, I will give you this snow lotus."
Sure enough, he still came for Lin Dalang.
The conjecture in her heart came true, Chen Qinglian couldn't help but struggle, on the one hand, it was the brother-in-law's family, and on the other hand, her mother's life, which was more important?
"If my mother didn't have this snow lotus, she would ...... in two days" Chen Qinglian endured her grief and said: "The etiquette of marriage is cumbersome, and Erniang is the little lady of Huaiyang Palace, how can her relationship with Pingnanhou be decided in two days......"
The princess of Henan interrupted her again: "The etiquette can be supplemented later, you just need to ask the Marquis of Pingnan to write the marriage book by hand, and then hand it over to me together with the token of the family." ”
"This ......" Chen Qinglian looked embarrassed: "Pingnanhou doesn't agree with this family business, and I can't help it." ”
The princess of Henan closed the box containing the snow lotus with a "snap", and said with a straight face: "Since Mrs. Chen can't do it, then please go back." ”
Chen Qinglian froze, and her face gradually turned red: "Princess, I really can't do this matter, please change your requirements." ”
"I don't need you to do anything else for me." Princess Henan's tone was cold.
Chen Qinglian was very embarrassed, and suddenly, she knelt down and begged: "Princess, please give me Xuelian, I am willing to exchange my life for it." ”
"Who wants your life...... Princess Henan was very angry, but the next moment, she suddenly got up and walked over, and reached out to help Chen Qinglian: "What is Mrs. Chen doing?"
"I'm not that ruthless person, I can't save you when I die, as long as you send the marriage letter and tokens, I will give you Snow Lotus immediately."
Chen Qinglian's face became more and more pale.
"Alas......" Princess Henan suddenly sighed and looked at Chen Qinglian sympathetically: "You are such a good person, I really can't bear to see you lose your mother." ”
Then, the conversation changed: "For the sake of you and I being relatives, I will mention you."
"There's nothing you can't do in this world, as long as you can get out of it......"
In the end, Chen Qinglian left the Huaiyang Palace with a pale face.
That night, Chen Qinglian told Su Dingfang about the matter, and after she finished speaking, she was already in tears: "I don't want to force Lin Dalang, but I also don't want to see my mother die."
"Alang, what should I do?"
Looking at his helpless wife, who was crying like a tearful person, Su Dingfang hugged her into his arms with pity: "Don't be sad, I'll figure it out." ”
Hearing this, Chen Qinglian cried even more sadly: "What can you do?" The princess of Henan is determined to exchange Snow Lotus for this family business, what else can she do except ask Lin Dalang to agree to this family business? ”
Su Dingfang was silent.
Indeed, as she said, he had no other way but this way.
"That'...... I'll just go and beg Lin Dalang. ”
Chen Qinglian hesitated: "But...... Lin Dalang made it clear that he hated Li Erniang very much and would not marry her. ”
Su Dingfang suddenly felt that his head was big: "Human life is at stake, let's save people first." ”
So, early the next morning, Su Dingfang sent Du Xian to the East Palace to ask for leave, and he took Chen Qinglian to the Pingnan Hou Mansion.
"Da Lang, I have something important to ask you to help with, it will delay you for some time, why don't you let Wen Ze go to the Ordnance Prison to help you take a day off."
Lin Zhiwu was very curious, but he didn't ask Wen Ze to ask for leave, but said: "It's still early, cousin, it's better to talk about it first." ”
Hearing this, Su Ding sent his servant out.
Seeing this, Lin Zhiwu also asked Wen Ze and Erhu to retreat.
When there were only three of them in the hall, Su Dingfang told Lin Zhiwu the ins and outs of the matter: "...... So, we need your help now.
"I know it's a bit of a stretch for you, but it's a human life in the end, and I still hope you can help."
Lin Zhiwu frowned, he really didn't want to marry Li Erniang, after thinking about it, he suggested: "Why don't we join forces to go to Huaiyang Wangfu to steal Snow Lotus?" ”
Su Dingfang: "......"
Chen Qinglian: "......"
Although the gentleman on the beam is not the style of the Su family and the Chen family, the husband and wife were both angry and moved after hearing it.
"Dalang, this ...... It's really not a gentleman's doing. Chen Qinglian said.
Su Dingfang was more direct: "I won't do the theft, and you are not allowed to do it."
"Furthermore, even if we abandon our family motto to steal, but the Huaiyang Royal Mansion is heavily guarded, and with the two of us, we can't evade the guards and successfully get Snow Lotus.
"Moreover, we don't know where the snow lotus is placed, the Huaiyang Royal Mansion is so big, once we are discovered, not only will the snow lotus not be able to get it, but we will also be ruined."
Lin Zhiwu thought to himself: It's not enough to be ruined, but it is possible that the princess of Henan will take the opportunity to blackmail him into marrying Li Erniang.
However, the cousin was right, with the two of them, it was absolutely impossible to steal Snow Lotus silently.
Lin Zhiwu thought about it for a while, and then proposed: "Why don't we kidnap Li Fang, or Li Daoming, or kidnap the princess of Henan, and then force them to hand over Snow Lotus, how about it?" ”
Chen Qinglian: "......"
Su Dingfang was embarrassed: "How can you think of some sideways?" Not to mention that they can't get out of the mansion in the past two days, and how many guards there are around them after leaving the mansion, let's just say that we used this method to get the snow lotus, and they will definitely complain to Your Majesty after they return to the mansion.
"When Your Majesty punishes us, how should we respond?
"It doesn't matter if you punish me, but this matter has nothing to do with you, but you are punished or lose your official title because of this, we will be uneasy for the rest of our lives."
"Yes." Chen Qinglian echoed: "You can't lose your official title and ruin your reputation just to help me save my mother. ”
Lin Zhiwu thought to himself: The princess of Henan should not sue, but she will in turn coerce him to marry Li Erniang.
Alas, it seems that in the end of every proposal, he can't escape being coerced into marrying Li Erniang, which is really nerve-wracking......
