Chapter 205: There Is No Other Choice
Just when Han Zhaoyin didn't know what to do, a figure appeared in his mind. Xu Huaiqing is resourceful on weekdays and can always find ways to save the day. Perhaps, this time he also has a way to save the Han family from the hands of the crown prince?
Thinking of this, Han Zhaoyin no longer hesitated, and immediately set off to go to Xu's house, not even taking into account the already dark night.
With the help of starlight, Han Zhaoyin rode his horse all the way, but fortunately, at this time, the stalls on the road had already been put away. Otherwise, according to his method of hurrying, he might not have knocked down many stalls.
Bang bang bang -
The door of the Xu family was knocked lightly and heavily, which was particularly strange in the dark. Xu Mu opened the crack in the door, glanced at it quickly, and only after seeing who the other party was, did he open the door with confidence.
"It's Han Gongzi, is there something urgent about this big night? Wait a minute, I'll go in and inform Childe. While speaking, Xu Mu patted his chest in fear, and he didn't blame him for being timid, anyone who was suddenly knocked on the door in the middle of the night would think of something unspeakable.
"No need, I'll go in by myself." Han Zhaoyin couldn't help but push Xu Mu away and strode inside.
"Huh? Han Gongzi, Han Gongzi! Xu Mu was stunned for a moment, and after he reacted, he hurriedly chased after Han Zhaoyin, for fear that his sudden intrusion would make Xu Huaiqing angry.
"What's going on?" Xu Huaiqing was also woken up by the sound outside at this time, put on a coat at random, and after appeasing Bai Jiujiu, he came to the hall.
Seeing Han Zhaoyin's arrival, he couldn't help frowning slightly. In Pingsuri, Han Zhaoyin has always been very steady. The overnight rush that made him so panicked was that he had encountered trouble that was difficult to solve.
"Something's wrong, it doesn't look like you." Xu Huaiqing sat down on the chair, waved his hand casually, and motioned for Xu Mu to retreat, "Say, what can make our Young Master Han so out of shape." ”
After Xu Mu got the signal, he glanced at Han Zhaoyin complainingly, and then bowed and retreated.
"I want you to help me come up with an idea, it's not a trivial matter." Although Han Zhaoyin knew in his heart that his current appearance was very embarrassing, he had no time to take care of it at the moment.
"But it doesn't hurt to say it." Xu Huaiqing nodded lightly at Han Zhaoyin. On weekdays, Han Zhaoyin helped him and Bai Jiujiu a lot, but now that the other party is in trouble, how can he not help?
Taking a deep breath, Han Zhaoyin calmed down his mood as much as possible. Thinking of the Han family's affairs, he didn't know how to speak for a while.
"Huaiqing, a few days ago, the prince wanted to win over our Han family, but I refused."
As soon as these words came out, Xu Huaiqing already understood most of them in his heart. With the prince's aggressive temperament, if the Han family rejects his wooing, I am afraid that he will not be able to do so.
"Your Han family is being targeted by the prince?"
The crown prince is gaining momentum now, and it is not a good thing to be targeted by him.
Han Zhaoyin hooked the corners of his mouth bitterly, "I originally thought that at the critical moment of seizing the heir, the prince should have no time to take care of our Han family." Unexpectedly, he would take the lead in attacking us despite the threats of other princes. ”
"As far as I can see, the prince will not be distracted at this time. It is likely that someone is secretly provoking that makes the prince lose his senses. ”
Before coming to Xu's house, Han Zhaoyin had thought about this possibility. Now that Xu Huaiqing has the same opinion as him, he must not be wrong.
"By the way, who is secretly trying to harm our Han family?" Han Zhaoyin had a gloomy face. The Han family has always had a deep place in his heart, and when he thought of someone trying to harm the Han family, he couldn't help but feel a surge of anger in his heart.
"Who else has a grudge against your Han family and is very close to the prince?" Xu Huaiqing, as a bystander, saw the situation clearly.
"The Bai family? Sure enough, it was a good thing they did. Han Zhaoyin gritted his teeth and snorted coldly, "Huaiqing, you must help me find a way." If not, my father will ask me to marry the prime minister's daughter and settle the matter by marriage. ”
Han Zhaoyin rubbed the corners of his forehead tiredly, at this time, he could be said to have pinned all his hopes on Xu Huaiqing.
Hearing this, Xu Huaiqing couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then glanced at Han Zhaoyin playfully, "Don't say it, your father's method may really be able to protect the Han family." ”
Han Zhaoyin smiled bitterly and waved his hand, "It's all this time, don't make fun of me anymore." The prime minister's daughter has always been known for being rude, how can you let me agree to this marriage? ”
"I'm not kidding you, I'm serious."
Seeing Xu Huaiqing's serious face, Han Zhaoyin couldn't help but froze, "Now that it's over, is there really no other way?" ”
Xu Huaiqing sighed, and then nodded slowly, "You also know that the crown prince is huge, if he really wants to deal with the Han family, you will have no way to resist." can be under the pressure of the princes, and can also compete with the crown prince, this prime minister must not be an idle person. If you want such a person to protect your Han family, what else can you do except marry the girl on the tip of his heart. ”
Speaking of this, Xu Huaiqing paused, and then patted Han Zhaoyin's shoulder meaningfully, "Actually, even if I don't say it, you know that your father's plan is the best way to deal with it now." ”
Han Zhaoyin's heart was full of unwillingness. Let him marry the daughter of the prime minister is undoubtedly difficult for a strong man. What's more, deep in his heart, he has always had a little concern for Bai Jiujiu.
Clenched his fists hard, Han Zhaoyin secretly made up his mind in his heart that no matter what he said, he would not marry the prime minister's daughter.
At this moment, Xu Huaiqing didn't come back, and Bai Jiujiu couldn't hold back his temperament and walked out of the room.
"Zhaoyin, why are you here?" Seeing Han Zhaoyin, Bai Jiujiu greeted him cordially, "What happened to you, you dusty man?" I'll ask the maids to prepare hot water, and you can go down and pick it up. ”
Seeing the smile on Bai Jiujiu's face, Han Zhaoyin couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and it took a while to react, "No need, I'll go later, there are still a bunch of things at home, waiting for me to go back and deal with them." I'm afraid I'll clean up here and I'll have to clean up again when I get back. ”
Bai Jiujiu didn't force Han Zhaoyin, "Since that's the case, then I'll go make a pot of tea for you." ”
As smart as she was, how could she not see that Han Zhaoyin was wrong, and she was afraid that staying here would affect the discussion between the two, so she found an excuse to avoid it.
