After the Restoration (3)
Chapter 249: Restoration (3)
"Don't worry, sir." Shen Wan rubbed the jade pendant while talking to him with a smile, this jade pendant is a high-grade jade, although Liu Zhao is ranked as the prime minister, but a year's income is only enough for expenses and his wife's medicine, to buy such a piece of high-quality jade, it probably costs a lot. It can be seen that Liu Zhao attaches great importance to Zhiyan and this child. "If you're not in a hurry, please sit down first and listen to me slowly, how about it?"
Liu Zhao panicked in his heart, his eyes kept staring at the jade pendant in Shen Wan's hand, which he gave to Zhi Yan, Zhi Yan was pregnant at the time, and he was both conflicted and happy. When Zhi Yan gave birth to a baby boy, he was not only happy, but also a little lucky. So, this jade pendant was hung around the child's neck.
But now, this close-fitting jade pendant is in Shen Wan's hands, what happened?
As a last resort, he had no choice but to sit down, look at Shen Wan, and make a listening appearance.
Shen Wan smiled faintly and said slowly: "During the Mid-Autumn Festival last year, you were pulled into the Fenghua Xueyue Building by a few colleagues, where you met Miss Zhiyan. After a detailed discussion, I found that she knew everything about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and her sentiments were noble. My lord, am I right? ”
Liu Zhao nodded and said, "That's right." ”
Shen Wan continued: "It doesn't matter if you can't help it, or you are happy with each other. One of you is a member of the court, and the other is a woman in the dust. My lord, the emperor once told me that the reason why you are so valued is because you have high morals and can lead the atmosphere of the DPRK, but I didn't expect it...... Tsk, my lord really let me see what gold and jade are. ”
Liu Zhao was full of shame and anger, but more of a shame. He gritted his teeth, trying not to let his head drop. If it is something else, let people arrange it like this, they will definitely jump up and scold the other party for being a bloody leader. However, what Shen Wan said was true, and as if she had seen it with her own eyes, everything she said was what really happened.
"My lord, do you think I should hand over Zhiyan and the child to the emperor? Oh...... Adults can give up their fame and status and take Zhiyan and their children to return to their hometowns. However, the adult's wife is still suffering on the sickbed! Shen Wan had a hint of coldness on her lips, "Or, should I bring Zhi Yan to Mrs. Zun and ask him to accept Zhi Yan." ”
"No way!" Liu Zhao jumped up at this time, "My wife is already seriously ill, and I can't let her ...... anymore Let her ......"
Shen Wan laughed, stood up, and said to Liu Zhao: "You want a wife, you want a confidante, and you want a son." I am also for my son, and I want my son to recognize his ancestors and return to his father. Too easy. My lord, in fact, there is no conflict between you and me, if you are convenient for me, I will also be convenient for you. You have given my son a stable family, sound parents, and a privileged environment. Then, I will also let you continue to have the reputation of a bad wife who does not go to court, and continue to have a confidante who gives you children, how about it? ”
Liu Zhao lowered his head, doing a strong ideological struggle, for the sake of the king, he should be an example of a loyal minister; For the sake of his ancestors, he should have an heir to inherit it......
Shen Wan shook the jade pendant in her hand in front of him, and said, "Your Excellency, you might as well think about it, since I have returned to the northern country, I naturally don't care about waiting a few more days, but don't let me wait too long, you know, my patience is not good enough...... Oh yes, it's not convenient for Zhiyan to live in the alley, so I've ordered someone to find her a big house to live in first. ”
Liu Zhao was stunned, was she a double threat to herself? This woman ...... This woman!
Shen Wan didn't care about the hatred in his eyes, and said with a smile: "You and I are both parents, everything, you have to think about your children." ”
After finishing speaking, she naturally wanted to let the food be served, Shen Wan's mood was not affected at all, and she said to Xi Chao with a smile: "I haven't eaten the food here for a long time, so I can eat more today." ”
Xi Chao smiled gently: "If you like, eat more." ”
Where did Liu Zhao still have the heart to eat, he arched his hand to Xi Chao, and said: "The lower official has taken his leave first, and the lower official can't afford this meal." ”
Regret the dynasty and don't force it to stay, and send it off with a smile: "Adults go slowly." ”
Shen Wan said again: "Your Excellency, you have to think about it quickly, I hope to receive the emperor's will as soon as tomorrow." ”
Liu Zhao paused for a while, smiled bitterly, and slowly walked out of the door.
Xichao looked at Shen Wan suspiciously and asked, "How did you know about Zhiyan and Liu Zhao?" You've only been back for a few days, and I wouldn't have known if you hadn't asked me to look it up. ”
Shen Wan grinned and said, "Because-this Zhiyan girl was originally arranged by me!" Looking at Xi Chao with a surprised face, she looked down and said: "After I was established at the beginning, I was angry with this guy, and after becoming the queen, I always heard others praise him, and Xichen also valued him very much." Hmph, everyone has weaknesses, I don't believe he's a perfect person! Sure enough, I found out that his weakness was in his heirs! His wife was bedridden all the year round, and she was unable to bear children for him. And he obeyed the way of the saints and did not take concubines, how did he come to the son? Therefore, it was so coincidental that he met Zhi Yan, and by such a coincidence, he was fascinated by Zhi Yan, and had a dewy marriage with Zhi Yan...... Everything is my arrangement, but I didn't expect it to come in handy today! ”
Xi Chao looked at her fixedly, and only asked after a while: "Ah Wan, do you do everything with a certain purpose?" ”
Shen Wan was stunned by the question, shook her head suddenly, and said in a low voice: "I was also forced to do so...... No matter what I do to others, I always ...... to you Always sincerely. ”
Xi Chao's eyes became strange, and he suddenly asked, "What about the Lantern Festival?" ”
Shen Wan was startled, and quickly thought of the child, her expression did not escape the Xi Dynasty, and the Xi Dynasty was also shocked, and asked: "...... the child?"
Shen Wan hurriedly covered his mouth and said hurriedly: "Don't say it...... Don't talk about it! Otherwise, not only your life and I will be at risk, but even our children will ......."
Xi Chao pulled her hand away and asked, "Our child?" Zhao'er is...... Our children? ”
Shen Wan was stunned, she was just in a hurry, she didn't expect to say it out of her mouth! She looked at the shocked Xichao stupidly, and her mind froze for a moment, what would he do? What will be done?
Xichao was in a trance, and stumbled and asked, "Zhao'er...... He really is...... Me and your children? ”
Shen Wan closed her eyes and nodded vigorously.
Xi Chao suddenly took a few steps back, sat down on the chair, and said in a panic: "Fourth brother, fourth brother thinks this child is his, he doesn't doubt it at all......"
Shen Wan knelt at his feet, looked up at him, and said firmly: "So, this secret, you have to help me keep it together, and you must not let Xichen know!" ”
