Chapter Eighty-Seven: Disaster for the Country
Leng Chen and Qianfan took a carriage to Qianxiang Building, and soon sat down in the private room on the third floor, Leng Chen muttered while eating pastries: "You woke me up so early, but it turned out that no one had arrived." β
"I can't stop your mouth when I eat, it's really long-winded." Qian Fan slapped Leng Chen directly on the back, and said with hatred: "You are a man, is it polite to come a little earlier?" β
"Yes, Little Ancestor!" As soon as Leng Chen turned his head, he saw Wei Linxi and Wei Zhiyang pushing the door in, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
"Big brother, Xi'er!" Qian Fan got up with a smile, pulled Leng Chen up and introduced: "This is the mighty general Leng Chen, Leng Chen, this is Wei Zhiyang, the son of Qingfeng, this is my close friend Wei Linxi." β
The four of them got acquainted with each other, and then sat down to talk, Wei Linxi was already cheerful, and he was very curious about Leng Chen, a much-discussed figure in the capital, so he kept asking this and that, and Leng Chen rarely answered them one by one patiently.
Seeing that the two of them were chatting lively, Qian Fan was a little happier in his heart, and turned his head to Wei Zhiyang and said, "I heard that the emperor trusts Qin Tiandu very much, and now he has to ask Qin Tiandu about almost everything?" β
"Well, but there's nothing wrong with that Qin Tiandu, except that he likes to eat meat." Wei Zhiyang nodded and said, "But he doesn't seem to like the prince very much, it's really strange, after all, he was recommended by the prince to enter the palace." β
Qianfan discussed with Wei Zhiyang in advance about Leng Chen and Wei Linxi, for Wei Zhiyang, as long as Wei Linxi is happy, everything else is not a problem, so after thinking about it, he didn't refuse, but this kind of thing still depends on whether the two of them can talk.
"Didn't you notice that the prince has been divided a lot recently?" Qian Fan has never shied away from Wei Zhiyang's concern about the major affairs of the DPRK and China, so he frowned and said: "This kind of quietness is too unusual, I have a bad feeling." β
"The Yingwu Marquis Mansion is not as flamboyant as it used to be, although it is due to the fact that the relationship between the three major families is much more stable, but the Yingwu Marquis Mansion has always been arrogant, I think there must be a problem here." Wei Zhiyang looked at Qian Fan and said, "I heard rumors outside that the prince's attempt to win over General Yue was rejected, maybe the prince will attack the Yue family." β
"Well, don't worry, I'll take care of this matter." Wei Zhiyang also knew about Qianfan's plan for the Seventh Prince, but he never asked or said much, and he did what Qianfan asked him to do, just worried about her safety.
"After the New Year, the emperor may have to feast on ministers and family members, and every palace banquet has never stopped, and I now have a headache when I hear about the palace banquet." Wei Zhiyang sighed and said helplessly: "This is simply going to the palace with your head in your head." β
"Big brother, it's a joke if I haven't seen you for so long." Qian Fan was immediately amused by Wei Zhiyang, a person who is so serious on weekdays suddenly said a joke that can really make people happy.
"Don't laugh, you really have to be careful." Wei Zhiyang couldn't help laughing when he saw Qian Fan laughing, and couldn't help but admonish.
When he went back, Leng Chen got into the carriage and squinted his eyes at Qian Fan and said, "What's the matter with you and that Wei Zhiyang?" That person looked at their little fan'er's eyes so tender, he knew that there was a problem at a glance.
"What do you think of Xi'er?" Qianfan didn't bother to explain so much, and asked straight to the point: "Is there a little temptation?" β
"Move your head!" Leng Chen rolled his eyes and said, "Behind Wei Linxi is the Wei Guo Mansion, do you think Wei Guo Gong can agree to Wei Linxi marrying someone like me who doesn't have any help?" β
"Why don't you have any help?" Qian Fan kicked over and scolded: "The Yue family is your backing, besides, you are now a mighty general, and the Patriotic Mansion is full of civil officials, so I wish there was a military attachΓ©." β
"We'll talk about that later." Leng Chen waved his hand and said, "As soon as I arrived in the capital, you were in a hurry to drive me out, right?" β
"Leng Chen, if you don't want the emperor to marry you at the palace banquet after the New Year, you'd better settle yourself quickly." Qian Fan is not without worries when he is so anxious, Leng Chen is now alone to put it bluntly, and the emperor is likely to make Leng Chen a concubine.
But there is a rule in Huangyuan State, that is, the horse does not participate in the government politics, which means that once he becomes a horse, Leng Chen will no longer be able to make contributions in this life, which is equivalent to a waste.
"Will the emperor be in such a hurry?" Leng Chen had not known much about the emperor's temperament all along, so he hadn't thought about it.
But Qianfan has dealt with the emperor for two lifetimes, so he naturally analyzed it very clearly, and analyzed carefully: "Two of the princesses have already passed the princess, if the emperor says it on the spot, you have no chance to refuse." β
"Then I can't use Wei Linxi because of this?" Although Leng Chen also understood Qianfan's concerns, he was unwilling to delay Wei Linxi's happiness because of this, and said bluntly: "I'm so much older than her, and I'm also your uncle, Wei Linxi may not be able to accept it, okay?" β
"I'm just asking you, what do you think of Xi'er?" Qian Fan looked at Leng Chen fixedly, and the persistence in his eyes was obvious.
"It's quite similar to yours, I like it." Leng Chen made no secret of his liking for Qianfan, he originally liked people like Fan'er, if he hadn't been her uncle, he would have married Qianfan home a long time ago.
"That's okay, I'll arrange this matter as soon as possible, as long as it's in front of the palace banquet." Qian Fan breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "I knew that you must like Xi'er, because I also like her." β
"Do you have a fetish for broken sleeves, you!" Leng Chen rolled his eyes, teased, and was immediately kicked by Qian Fan again, and both of them laughed.
Qianfan's devotion to Leng Chen's marriage was simply crazy, and on the second day, he went to the Weiguo Mansion to ask Wei Linxi's opinion, Xi'er's love for the Seven Princes had long disappeared under the dual opposition of Qianfan and Wei Zhiyang, but she was really surprised to hear that Qianfan asked her to marry her uncle.
However, under Qianfan's guidance, Xi'er also understood that Leng Chen's situation was precarious, she had heard Qian Fan mention Leng Chen every day before, and she was not a stranger to him, plus she also liked Leng Chen, who was like her eldest brother, so she nodded smoothly and agreed.
Qian Fan immediately told Yue Chongnan and the Leng clan about this matter non-stop, and Yue Chongnan naturally understood that Qian Fan's concerns were right, so he went to the Weiguo Mansion to discuss the matter with the Weiguo Gong without delay.
Although the emperor was stunned for a long time, he still readily agreed to the matter of the two of them, and at the end he teased Wei Guogong: "If it weren't for you, the old fox grabbed it quickly, I would have wanted to keep Leng Chen as my son-in-law!" β
It was this sentence that made Wei Guogong and Yue Chongnan secretly breathe a sigh of relief, Leng Chen is young, wouldn't it be a pity if he didn't have a chance to go to the court because he became a concubine? And the story of the young general's marriage with Wei Guogong soon spread in the capital, which can be described as a broken heart of beauty.
In this way, it was the New Year in a blink of an eye, and Qianfan was dressed up early in the morning, and Qianfan was so sleepy that he sat in front of the bronze mirror and nodded.
"Girl, how do you know that the emperor wants to recruit his uncle as a concubine?" Cuiliu, who was standing on the side, asked strangely.
"Guess." Qianfan yawned, in his previous life, Leng Chen returned to the capital immediately after knowing that his father and mother were missing, and it didn't take long for the emperor to recruit Leng Chen as a concubine, so that in the end, the little uncle was killed, so Qianfan tried his best to match Leng Chen and Xi'er.
Suddenly, the little goblin crashed into the room, and Dong'er exclaimed, "Little goblin, what's wrong with you?" β
The little goblin looked up at Qian Fan weakly, and his voice lost the spirit of the past: "Xiao Fan'er, message." β
Everyone looked over, only to find that the little goblin's wings were actually stained red with blood, Qianfan walked up to the little goblin and ordered: "Dong'er, go get the hemostatic medicine, Cuiyan go to the door to stare at it, see if there is any movement, Cuiyan, prepare gauze." β
Everyone hurriedly responded, Qian Fan took down the note tied to the little goblin's feet, and Dong'er and Cui Yan treated the little goblin's wounds, and after unfolding the note, Qian Fan's face was already cloudy.
"Girl, the little goblin is only injured in the wing, and it's fine." Cui Yan took care of the wound and was about to say something more, but Feng Ye suddenly appeared in the room.
"Girl, a large number of Praetorian Guards are heading towards Yue's Mansion." Feng Ye said anxiously: "It seems that Luo Langyi brought someone here." β
"Qin Tiandu sent me a message, saying that the emperor has had frequent nightmares recently, and as a result, Luo Langyi brought a Taoist priest into the palace, and the Taoist priest said that the newborn baby in Yue's mansion is a disaster for the country, and the emperor asked Qin Tiandu again, in order to avoid Luo Langyi's suspicion, so he just said that this matter still needs to be carefully deduced, but the emperor has ordered the Praetorian Guards to bring his father into the palace."
"That little goblin's injury is likely to be caused by Laurent's secret stake in the palace!" Cui Yan said hatefully: "Girl, what should I do now? β
"Later, I will take my younger brother into the palace, Fengye, you immediately go and tell the Seventh Prince, and ask him to arrange for someone to set fire to Lo Langyi's backyard in two hours, the bigger the fire, the better." Qian Fan's mind was thinking quickly, and suddenly he had a flash of inspiration, and whispered a few words to Cui Yan.
Qin Tiandu can't let Luo Langyi notice that something is wrong for the time being, she still needs to think of a play in front of Luo Langyi, at this moment Qiu'er hurriedly ran over and cried and said: "Girl, go and see, the Praetorian Guards want to take away the little son, Madame is crying to death and refuses to let go." β
"Dong'er, you go to your uncle immediately now, and ask him to come back to the house to take care of his mother, you can't enter the palace without my message!" After Qianfan finished speaking, he said to Qiu'er: "Go, follow me to see my mother." β
As soon as I walked to the courtyard of the Leng family, I saw more than a dozen Praetorian Guards standing, and Luo Langyi's voice came from the house: "Madam, I am also on the orders of my father, you still don't have to embarrass me." β
"What are you guys making a fuss about?" Qian Fan walked past the Praetorian Guards in the courtyard without squinting, and stepped in after Qiu'er opened the curtain.
When Luo Langyi saw Qianfan, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, but he said in a dignified manner: "Miss Yue, this matter has nothing to do with you, please get out of the way." β
"Chun'er, Qiu'er, help my mother go back to the room to rest." Qian Fan didn't pay attention to Luo Langyi at all, walked to his mother's side and picked up Yue Lengyu, looked at Leng Shi quietly and said, "Mother, believe me, I will protect my younger brother." β
Leng looked at Qianfan's calm face, and somehow settled down, she was already weak, but now she couldn't hold on and fainted after making a fuss, a trace of ruthlessness crossed Qianfan's eyes, Luo Langyi, since you are in a hurry to find death, then don't blame me!
