Chapter 242: Paving the Way

"Yao'er, don't be angry, my father told you a happy event."

Shen Lingyao's body stuffed in the quilt moved, but still didn't come out.

Prince Min didn't know whether Yi Lingyao's current state of mind was suitable for marriage, and after thinking about it, he tentatively said softly: "Father asked the housekeeper to go and tell the Queen Mother, please ask the Queen Mother to marry you and Qi Zhao, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, do you say okay?" ”

"Don't!" Shen Lingyao objected sharply under the quilt.

Prince Min didn't expect Ling Yao's reaction to be so intense, and asked out loud in surprise, "Why?" When your father mentioned Qi Zhao to you before, weren't you very satisfied? ”

The man in the bed stopped talking again.

Prince Min stared at the bulging bag on the bed for a long time, worried that she would suffocate herself, and put down the porcelain bowl on the bedside table: "Since you don't like it, then the father will go and tell the Queen Mother that she doesn't have to work." ”

After a pause, he followed: "Father has put the white fungus soup here, you remember to drink it." ”

It wasn't until the sound of the door closing sounded that Ling Yao slowly got out of the quilt, looked at the empty door, and then looked at the white fungus soup on the table, her eyes were faintly red.

……

Prince Min closed the door and came out, and the housekeeper heard the sound and immediately stepped forward: "Lord Wang, Chen Da is back." ”

Prince Min hummed: "Are you still alive?" ”

The butler choked for a moment and bowed his head: "Alive, now the person is waiting in the main hall." ”

Prince Min took the housekeeper to the main hall, and sure enough, he saw Chen Dazheng kneeling in the hall.

Prince Min walked over and said, "What are you doing, if you let Yao'er see it, don't be the king bullying you." ”

"The villain is ineffective, please punish the prince." After listening to Prince Min's words, Chen Da's expression remained unchanged, but his tone became more and more humble.

Prince Min understood what he was talking about, "You went to assassinate Yunqing, but failed?" ”

Chen Da lowered his head: "She has a master around her to protect her, and the dozen or so people brought by the villain are all very skilled, but I didn't expect to be solved by that person with three punches and two kicks." ”

The butler attached to Prince Min's ear, "Lord, could it be that His Majesty ordered someone to secretly protect him?" ”

"Not impossible." Prince Min frowned, and his gaze swept to Chen Da: "Does she recognize you?" ”

"She didn't recognize it, but the guards around her did." Chen Da remembered the extremely cold eyes of the swordsman when the tip of the sword pointed at him, and clenched his fists in fear: "The villain can't understand why she can catch the villain and torture him, or she can take me directly to the palace to confront her, but she didn't do anything, she knew the villain's identity, and still let me go." ”

Prince Min looked at Chen Da's puzzled expression: "She grabbed you, didn't she ask anything?" ”

"The villain didn't say anything,"

"If you don't say it, she will definitely link your behavior with Prince Min's Mansion." Prince Min paced back and forth in the main hall, regretting: "Blame this king, you shouldn't let you come forward, you are Lingyao's guard, once you are caught, you will be inseparable from this king." ”

Chen Da confessed: "It's the villain's incompetence that has affected the prince." ”

Prince Min twisted his eyebrows and looked at him: "She found out that it was you, did she say anything cruel in anger, or did she want to ask Prince Min Mansion or something?" ”

Chen Da thought about it for a while, "No, she only asked if the young lady instructed the villain to kill her, and after the villain denied it, she asked the guards to let the villain go." ”

"At a young age, people can't figure out how to do things." Prince Min's mind flashed those rumors about Yunqing, and he couldn't wait to slap himself: "Hit the grass and scare the snake...... How could this king do such a stupid thing, now it's okay, the person didn't kill it, and it made her suspicious of this king. ”

The housekeeper glanced at Chen Da, waved his hand and said, "You go down first." ”

Chen Da withdrew as he said.

When the housekeeper saw him leaving, he immediately stepped forward to close the door, and then walked to Prince Min's side: "Lord, Chen Da led someone to assassinate him, even if he was seen, Princess Rongle would at most think that you were complaining about the young lady, and she should not suspect anything else." Don't worry too much. ”

"This little girl is not an ordinary person, a little clue is enough to attract her attention. Even if she didn't know the relationship between this king and Jingmo, she would definitely pay more attention. Prince Min sat on the chair with his forehead and pounded the table in fear: "This king just wanted to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, and he showed such a big flaw by being careless, and if he wanted to attack her in the future, I am afraid it will be difficult." ”

The housekeeper has been by Prince Min's side for many years, and he has a lot of experience of Prince Min's worries: "Gongzi has already secured the throne of Yuguo, even if Princess Rongle goes back, it won't change anything." ”

"If she learns that the king has intervened in the rebellion, it is hard to guarantee that she will not be angry with Jingmo. Before Emperor Xiao died, he left a lot of henchmen for Princess Rongle, and for Jingmo, it was still a big trouble. ”

"Lord Wang, Gongzi is not a mediocre and incompetent person, he will think of ways to deal with it if something happens." The housekeeper walked behind Prince Min and helped him rub his shoulder: "The prince has wasted a lot of thoughts on the affairs of the young lady during this time, so try to rest as much as you can, things are too busy, you have to find leisure for yourself, right?" ”

"You said this as a reminder to the king." Prince Min raised his hand: "You go and tell the Queen Mother, don't worry about Yao'er's affairs first, let's talk about this matter later." ”

The butler's hand that helped him beat his shoulder paused: "Why?" Didn't the prince always want the young lady to have a good home? ”

"Yao'er's emotions haven't eased, this king looks, she is a little resistant to getting married."

"Lord Qi is a rare handsome man, the Queen Mother was unwilling to force the courtiers to complete the marriage for this matter, and it is not easy to relax now, if you don't rush with the Queen Mother at this time, this matter may be just over."

"The king doesn't look to those anymore." Prince Min smiled bitterly: "Yao'er is like this, I don't feel at ease if I marry anyone, I don't know my heart, I don't know my heart, find a mean-hearted son-in-law, and when Yao'er gets married, I dislike her, it's better to keep it by my side, as long as this king is still in one day, I won't let Yao'er be hurt again." ”

Speaking of this, Prince Min sighed lowly: "I still have to pave the way for Yao'er, once something happens to this king, Jingmo will protect her safety and wealth for the sake of this king's face." ”

The housekeeper heard the decadence in Prince Min's words: "Why did the prince bother to say such a thing." ”

"This king has always been uneasy in his heart for a while, and he feels as if something is going to happen." Prince Min rubbed his astringent eyes, and a laugh came out of his mouth: "Sure enough, this person can't do bad things easily, and if you do bad things, you will have retribution when you are old." What do you mean by that? It's not that you don't report it, the time has not yet come...... Steward, say, 'Will the king's retribution be in time?' ”。

It is clear that he is still in his prime, and in just over a month, Prince Min's sideburns have gray hair, and his words are dyed with the vicissitudes of life that only a few people have until their twilight years.
