Chapter 34: Must Die
Listening to everyone's laughter, and then looking around at the woodcarving, Yan Lingyue smiled from the bottom of her heart. It's as if she was originally just a lonely person, but now she not only has a home, but also a family.
Before leaving the woodcarving house, the old man also took this month's bill and the profit money to Yan Lingyue. Yan Lingyue glanced at the bill, but did not take the money, only said that the old man would take care of it first, and she would come over to pick it up when she needed it.
In the old man's heart, Yan Lingyue, a young lady from the Prime Minister's Mansion, is about to marry the current prince, where will there be a shortage of money, let alone come to him to get it. The old man retreated repeatedly, but Yan Lingyue insisted on doing so, and the old man could only respond in the end, and repeatedly emphasized that he would definitely keep it properly. You must know that Yan Lingyue handed him not only money, but also trust!
In view of this trust, the old man also decided to follow Yan Lingyue as the master in the future.
Seeing that the woodcarving Zhai has begun to make a profit, and Xiaohu Ah Fei has landed again, Yan Lingyue's heart, which has been up and down because of marriage in the past few days, has inexplicably settled down.
"Miss, shall we go back to the house directly?" The carriage was driving on Fairview Street, and Mama Li asked.
Today is the fifth day of the fifth month of May, and in seven days, the wedding will be held. If she goes back to the house now, I'm afraid she won't have a chance to come out again in the future. Thinking of this, Yan Lingyue shook her head, "Feel free to go around." ”
As soon as she returned to the house, she would inevitably be chased by Yan Yiran and the third aunt to tell her all kinds of wedding matters, and she still wanted to be quiet and quiet.
What Yan Lingyue didn't expect was that she actually met Duan Minghong on the Qixi Bridge.
Ever since Duan Minghong knew Yan Lingyue's identity in another village outside the city that time, he deliberately avoided the news about the relationship between the Nine Emperor Princes and the Fifth Miss of the Yan Mansion.
He and Yan Lingyue had only one side relationship before Beizhuang, and what he knew more about Yan Lingyue came from Xiaohu and Ah Fei. Duan Minghong originally thought that after calming down for a while, his good impression of her should fade, and the more he thought about it, the more he couldn't forget it. Yan Lingyue's smiling face always appeared in his mind from time to time.
What's more, the people around him seemed to be particularly fond of discussing Zhou Ziyu and Yan Lingyue. What Nine Emperor Princes went to Yanfu to be hired, and how many dowries they brought. The Nine Emperors and the Fifth Lady of Yanfu went to Yixiang Restaurant to eat together, and the two of them seemed to have a good relationship. What's more, there are also people who discuss Zhou Ziyu and Yan Lingyue's future sexual affairs. said that the Nine Emperor Princes were stupid and stupid, even if they married their daughters-in-law, do they know what a cave house is?
In fact, it's not just the people around Duan Minghong who are talking about Zhou Ziyu and Yan Lingyue, in the huge imperial city, I'm afraid that more than half of the people are talking about this young couple who are about to get married.
Before the king gave Zhou Ziyu a marriage, the people had only heard of the eldest lady of the Yan Mansion, the second lady and the third lady, but they never knew that there was also a concubine, the fifth lady, so they all subconsciously thought that Yan Lingyue was talented and virtuous.
One is stupid, the other is talentless and virtuous. A wife, a mother. One is the prince who is held by the queen in the palm of her hand, and the other is the concubine of Prime Minister Yan's mansion. Such a combination is really intriguing.
Zhou Ziyu and Yan Lingyue seem to have become the talk of the people after dinner.
Duan Minghong actually knew all these rumors, but he had been trying hard to restrain himself from pretending not to know.
Duan Minghong's subordinate Duan Sen, seeing that his young general had a wooden face all day long, thought that he was in a bad mood, so he changed the law to make him happy, and kept telling Duan Minghong all kinds of interesting things in the city. And Zhou Ziyu and Yan Lingyue, who have been hot recently, are naturally the first to bear the brunt.
Duan Minghong, who was bent on escaping, met the enthusiastic Duan Sen, and he was almost depressed to death. I thought about going out to get some air, who would have thought that it would be such a coincidence, and I ran into Yan Lingyue again.
The moment he saw Yan Lingyue, the affection that Duan Minghong had suppressed in his heart gushed out. How can such a beautiful person marry a fool?! He really felt worthless for Yan Lingyue from the bottom of his heart.
Just when Duan Minghong was staring at Yan Lingyue in a daze, Yan Lingyue had already walked up to Duan Minghong.
"What a coincidence," Yan Lingyue took the initiative to greet Duan Minghong. Because of Xiaohu's words, although she was a little embarrassed to see Duan Minghong again, in the end, it didn't seem good to pretend to turn a blind eye.
After Duan Minghong reacted, his face turned a little red.
"It's really a coincidence," just when he was crazy, he actually met Yan Lingyue at Qixi Bridge. Secretly, does this mean that he shouldn't give up on himself?
After all, Zhou Ziyu is a fool! In Duan Minghong's subconscious, does a fool understand the true meaning of marriage?
Duan Minghong, who was frequently distracted, made Yan Lingyue feel even more embarrassed, "That Duan Gongzi is busy first." She bowed slightly. It's a chance encounter, and after saying hello, they will definitely go their own way.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she lifted her foot, she was stopped by Duan Minghong. Yan Lingyue was puzzled, "Duan Gongzi, what else is going on?" ”
Belch! Duan Minghong was stunned, and even the roots of his ears turned red. He just wanted to spend a little more time with her.
Now facing Yan Lingyue's puzzled eyes, Duan Minghong could only stubbornly ask, "That, how is the Nine Emperor Princes lately?" It's been a long time since I've seen the Nine Emperors since I said goodbye to the village last time. ”
When the words fell, Duan Minghong himself wanted to slap himself to death.
Yan Lingyue didn't seem to see Duan Minghong's embarrassment, and said with a smile, "I've been busy for a while lately, and I haven't seen the Nine Emperor Princes much," Thinking of Zhou Ziyu's jumping and jumping appearance on her birthday, Yan Lingyue laughed unconsciously, "I think he should be doing well recently." ”
Until Yan Lingyue left with Mama Li, Zhou Ziyu's ears still echoed with her laughter, and she stood on the Qixi Bridge for a long time and did not leave.
Yan Lingyue, who was originally going to walk around, was interrupted by Duan Minghong and lost her mood, so she got into the carriage with Mama Li and planned to go home. What she didn't know was that they had been targeted for a long time.
When there was only one street away from Yanfu, the carriage was bumpy, and the wheel on the right suddenly flew! The carriage tilted to one side, but the horses were still dragging the carriage along.
The groom's heart tightened, and he tugged hard at the reins. Inside the carriage, Yan Lingyue and Mama Li were dizzy and fell down.
"Woo ......" Even though the groom urgently reined in the horse, the carriage was dragged five or six feet away, and finally the whole thing fell to the ground.
The groom jumped down in time, but Mama Li was crushed by the carriage in order to protect Yan Lingyue.
"Quick! Go call someone! Yan Lingyue, who climbed out of the car window, shouted at the horseman.
The horseman was already sweating profusely from fright, and after hearing the command, he instinctively ran towards Yanfu.
"Mama Li?" Yan Lingyue tried to carry the carriage, but as soon as she moved, Mama Li gasped in pain.
Yan Lingyue didn't dare to act rashly. Looking around, I found that this alley was surprisingly quiet, and there was not even a single figure.
At this moment, a chill suddenly rose in her heart.
Yan Lingyue swallowed her saliva and held Mama Li's hand tightly, "Mama, Mama, if you hold on, someone will come to save us soon." ”
As soon as she finished speaking, a horrified laugh came from behind her. Yan Lingyue was shocked in her heart and turned her head to look over. I saw three unkempt beggars, walking towards her step by step.
"Y-What do you want to do?" She took two steps back.
The three beggars suddenly quickened their pace, and ran towards Yan Lingyue with a lewd smile.
"Miss, run," Mama Li shouted in a hoarse voice.
In the blink of an eye, the three beggars had already surrounded Yan Lingyue......
At the corner of the alley, two men who looked like domestic servants glanced at each other, one of them gesturing, and the other quickly ran in the direction of the palace.
Eiwa Palace.
The imperial concubine listened to the report of her subordinates, her eyebrows tightened, "You mean that three beggars took Yan Lingyue away?" ”
The subordinate nodded, "That alley is empty, and it's obvious that someone has already made a plan." Boss Chen had already followed, and asked the minions to come back and report it. ”
When the imperial concubine heard this, she looked at the second prince, that is, the crown prince of the dynasty, "What do you think of Chang'er?" ”
"Is it possible that the fifth miss of Yanfu has offended others?" Zhou Zichang knocked on the table and said half-loudly, "Let Boss Chen continue to follow, see who the people behind the scenes are, and don't act rashly." ”
If someone is doing it for them, why not? Thinking that Yan Lingyue not only escaped death last time, but also exposed Boss Chen, Zhou Zichang hated it so much.
"Tell Boss Chen that if there is another accident this time, he doesn't need to ask for his head," the imperial concubine waved her hand and motioned for her subordinate to retreat.
What a good opportunity it was to listen to the rain pavilion last time, as long as Yan Lingyue was suffocated to death, and then faked as suicide, the responsibility would be put on Zhou Ziyu's shoulders. I didn't expect Yan Lingyue to be so lucky and actually escaped from Boss Chen's hands. Even if he was thrown into the water tank in the end, he survived.
Although they controlled the rumors in time and blamed Zhou Ziyu for Yan Lingyue falling into the water twice three times and rushing with the water, Boss Chen was exposed.
Even if the people once again firmly believe in Zhou Ziyu's wife? Yan Lingyue didn't die after all. Zhou Ziyu and Xiao Lan listened to those rumors too much, and the people passed on two more sentences and two less sentences, which would not affect anything at all.
As long as Yan Lingyue is not dead, then she will marry Zhou Ziyu sooner or later.
The reason why the imperial concubine asked Boss Chen to murder Yan Lingyue was that she wanted to confirm Zhou Ziyu's wife again, and secondly, Zhou Ziyu couldn't marry her daughter-in-law. The most important of them is to make Zhou Ziyu unable to marry a daughter-in-law!
Zhou Ziyu is Xiao Lan's lifeline, as long as he is not peaceful, then Xiao Lan will have trouble sleeping and eating, and he will always be uncomfortable.
So Yan Lingyue must die. Like the daughter of Zuo Shangshu and the daughter of Admiral Li, you must die!
