Forty-one, dedication

The Taiwei Mansion at this time. Everyone is careful.

"Father." Zheng Wanhou was at the door of the study, looking at Zheng Nangong with an expressionless face,

Zheng Nangong glanced at Zheng Wan coldly, then entered the study, followed by Zheng Pingcheng. Zheng Wan waited quietly until Zheng Pingcheng left, and then entered the study with a cup of tea.

Zheng Nangong's face was cold, and his fingers kept tapping on the armrests of the chair, which was his habit when he was anxious.

"Father. Please use tea. This is what I just cooked. Zheng Wan put the tea on the desk,

"Yes."

"Father is worried about the fourth sister?" Zheng Wan's words made Zheng Nangong, who was sitting, stiffen up, and the corners of his eyebrows rose, "What did you hear?" ”

"Gangqiu begged back from outside and said that it is now spreading everywhere that there is a red-eyed girl in Doctor Lu's house. The symptoms were very similar to those of General Ji fifteen years ago. The whereabouts of the fourth sister are unknown, I am afraid that the girl is the fourth sister. ”

Zheng Nangong looked at the peach trees outside the window leisurely, the flowers were blooming, clumps and vibrant. "What the hell are you trying to say?"

"If it is really the fourth sister, then Your Majesty will soon find out her identity. It turned out that the fourth sister was weak and had been bedridden for many years. It's not that many people have seen it, and it's easy to deal with, but on this full moon wine, she has shown her face among many princes of the family. Rather than being found out, it is better for my father to go to the palace to ask His Majesty for the guilt, and turn the passive into the active. Only then can we, the Zheng family, control this situation. ”

"And then? Do you want Your Majesty to put your sister to death? Zheng Nangong was rarely furious, and the teacup on the table was thrown to the ground and shattered. The tea leaves fell to the ground alone.

Zheng Wan was taken aback by Zheng Nangong's performance, she never thought that the unfavored fourth sister had such a high status in front of her father, who only had the interests of the Zheng family in her eyes, how could she be so decisive when she wanted to sacrifice Brother Pingsheng, Zheng Wan's anger surged into her chest, she was calm, she bit her lip tightly, and a little bit of blood calmed Zheng Wan.

"Parents, what are you talking about? How could I think that? Besides, Your Majesty would not do this in front of your father. A little girl who is powerless and threatens nothing. ”

"Fifteen years ago, that person in a high position was not burned alive." Zheng Nangong hung his head weakly, it was the first time Zheng Wan had seen her father like this. Maybe a lot of things have changed too much over time.

"Father, fifteen years ago, the first emperor was in power, and now there may not be no turnaround."

Zheng Nangong's arm was propped up on the desk, his forehead rested on his hand clenched into a fist, and his eyes were slightly closed. Seems to be recalling something. "Really? Can you stop it? ”

Zheng Wan calmly cleaned up the debris on the ground. "What if you can't stop it. Water can carry a boat, and it can also capsize a boat. The fourth sister's thing is the opposite, and it may not be a solution. Father, I am also Zheng Ling's sister, so naturally I want to save her, so my father might as well tell me about what happened fifteen years ago, I think I have a way. Zheng Wan stared at her father tightly.

"Go down." Zheng Nangong's voice did not carry a trace of emotion.

"Father!" Zheng Wan raised her voice, and it was rare that she did not obey Zheng Nangong, "Your Majesty today, is this position still firm?" ”

"What kind of bastard are you talking about!" Zheng Nangong opened his eyes violently, and the coldness in his eyes lowered the surroundings a few degrees.

Zheng Wan smiled lightly, "Father, the first emperor is His Majesty's uncle, the first emperor, it should be the son of the first emperor who sat on the dragon chair, at that time, the first emperor still had two sons, one was disabled and unqualified, what about the other?" It's not your Majesty's turn. His Majesty relied on the Queen Mother, and used the excuse that the prince was young and would wait until he became an adult to pay it back, and the child was going to be an adult this year. Is Your Majesty going to pay it back? ”

"Smack." The angry Zheng Nangong slapped Zheng Wan in the face, and the strength of the person who practiced martial arts and fought could be imagined, and a little blood overflowed the corners of his mouth. Zheng Wan still looked at Zheng Nangong stubbornly, "Father, don't you want to solve problems for Your Majesty?" ”

"Zheng Wan, don't talk about the court."

"I don't care about the court, I only know that this matter involves the Zheng family."

"Okay, so what do you want to say?"

"My daughter has a way." Zheng Wan's eyes were full of confidence, and that look made Zheng Nangong couldn't help but be shocked, she really didn't know enough about this daughter.

"Say." Zheng Nangong staggered his hands.

"Father, it's better to talk about the events of the year first, about General Ji. The daughter knows very little about this matter, so she will inevitably miss something, so she should ask her father to talk about it, so as not to make a wrong step, a wrong step. ”

Zheng Nangong looked at the person in front of him fixedly, and the silence melted between the two. Zheng Wan's eyes were extremely determined.

Zheng Nangong walked to the window, looked into the distance, and sighed lightly, "Back then, General Ji was friendly with us, to us, he was like an eldest brother, when that incident happened, we thought of interceding, but the first emperor couldn't listen to it at all. His Majesty also tried back then, but he couldn't save it after all. ”

"Your Majesty was so merciful back then." Zheng Wan's heart was extremely disgusting, but she couldn't show half of her dissatisfaction.

"It was precisely because of the righteousness in His Majesty's heart that we were willing to follow him." Zheng Nangong's voice carried a trace of memory. Suddenly turned around, "No one can overturn this matter." This was the will of the first emperor. ”

"The reason why General Ji was killed back then was not because the first emperor insisted that he was haunted by evil, so he fought poison with poison." Zheng Wan took a few more steps forward, getting closer to Zheng Nangong. "Since there is evil, there is a way to exorcise evil, and His Majesty is that medicine."

"What do you mean?"

"The first emperor was not benevolent, there was no way to govern, the people could not live and work in peace and contentment, and the evil entered the body of General Ji to warn, but the first emperor was obsessed and did not understand, and brutalized the loyal and good, General Ji did not turn a blind eye to death, God has the virtue of a good life, and he couldn't bear to see the reputation of a generation of famous generals ruined, and he was also infamous after his death, so he used the little daughter of the Zheng family to clear his grievances. His Majesty is the hope of Great Qin, and his benevolence will drive away evil spirits. When the time comes, the altar will be set up, and His Majesty will personally participate in the ceremony of worshiping the heavens, as long as the fourth sister's eyes recover, everything can be solved. The people will be more loyal to His Majesty. ”

"Ridiculous!"

"Father, isn't this a triple win? First, once Your Majesty's move is successful, it means that his position is God's will, as the heir of the first emperor, his father angered the heavens and the earth, how can they explain to the world if they don't go to practice? Second, when the fourth sister is rescued, is it possible that the father can only watch the fourth sister burn alive? Third, correct General Ji's name and clear his soul. ”

"Then how to cure Zheng Ling's eyes?"

"Father, back then, Medical Officer Mu Shi swore that he could develop an antidote, although the old man was gone, but he could develop it, others may not be able to develop it, Lu Tingxuan's talent has been praised by him, so we can believe him, of course, if there is no way to make an antidote, then there is another way to go. After all, it doesn't have to be cured. As long as there is a way to suppress it, it will not have a seizure in a short time. And in order to find the ancient recipe for the fourth sister, I accidentally found an ancient book when I was looking through the ancient books, and there is a recipe in it that can delay people's feelings, as long as the time of the sacrifice is well controlled, you can hide it. After that, let the fourth sister not show her face until she is cured. So it's not a big deal, father, what do you say? ”

"What are you going to do with this?"

Zheng Wan poured another cup of tea and handed it to Zheng Nangong. "Father, we need the support of the National Teacher's Mansion and the Lu family, the National Teacher's Mansion is on the surface, and the Lu family will do it secretly. Father only needs to dedicate this plan to His Majesty. I think Your Majesty will think about it. Coupled with the support of the national teacher and the Lu family, this matter is done. ”

"The national teacher travels, not in Kyoto."

"Then find his apprentice, Su Qin's words are better solved."

"That's fine. But Lu Fengzhen is an old fox, and he won't take this risk. I'm afraid that there will be trouble. ”

"Father, don't forget whose family took in the fourth sister. His son defended Zheng Ling in front of the wives of the powerful people in Kyoto City. He wanted to get out of the way, but we didn't let him go. If he is not willing to support, then his son is the next Mu Shi. Zheng Wan's eyes were slightly bent when she spoke, as if she was smiling, but the smile could not reach her eyes. He won't resist. It was his only child. Lu Gongzi is kind-hearted and obsessed with medical skills, and he will definitely try his best to help the fourth sister. ”

"You can be sure of that."

"Ninety percent. But if we don't. It's not good for us. It's better to do these things at worst than not at all. Father must have thought of it. ”

"But even if the evil case involves the first emperor, the Spirit King was just a newborn baby at that time, and this atonement may not be his turn."

"Father, it depends on whether the Spirit King judges the situation, if he is not smart, then there are many ways to deal with him, the big deal is to make him an evil possession, the three of them become tigers, how can he resist the mouth of the world. If he had been wise, he himself would have offered to atone for his father's sins. As long as he completely enters Taoism, don't think about entering the world again. The Spirit King has been watching the scenery all these years, but he is actually living a life of house arrest. None of them had anyone around usable. Maybe he's still eager to practice. ”

"Wan'er." Zheng Nangong took a deep look at Zheng Wan. "For my father, I will now enter the palace to see Your Majesty."

"Father, I'll finish the affairs of the Lu Mansion." Zheng Wan looked at Zheng Nangong without humility or arrogance, "Father doesn't have to come forward in this matter. lest Lord Lu think that we are bullying him. And the sooner it happens, the better. The third brother is still at war with Liang Chu, and he must not be affected. The border is far from Kyoto, so we need to make the most of it. ”

"I know. That is waiting for your good news. ”

"Wan'er will definitely live up to her father's expectations." The two walked out of the study. Zheng Wan returned to the small courtyard.

"Miss. In the past few days, those troublemakers at the gate of the Lu Mansion have been given silver taels. ”

"People, always believe what you see. But sometimes seeing is not always believing. Zheng Wan smiled mockingly, "It's been almost a mess this time. It's time for the end of the show. In recent days, you have to inquire about where there are shops in the lower city for sale, which is too expensive, and you have to rely on yourself to make some money. ”

"No."
