Chapter 19: The Father of Man
The Queen Mother's face was extremely indifferent, and the words she said like this made people tremble when they heard it.
The moment Zhao Wei saw the Queen Mother, a look of relief appeared on his face, but he was an old man in the end, and Fang Cai's momentary gaffe was just a manifestation of his desire to save his daughter, but fortunately, with his head down, no one could notice his abnormality.
"Humph! If the mourning family doesn't come here, I'm afraid the emperor will have a bad name. Since ancient times, I have never heard of a person who intends to murder a royal nobleman to be able to extrajudicially be benevolent! Isn't this a disregard for the laws of the country because of personal feelings?! After speaking, the Queen Mother glared at the emperor fiercely.
At this time, a trace of cold sweat broke out on the emperor's head, and then said: "Ah, what the Queen Mother said is very true, if it weren't for the Queen Mother coming over to talk to me at this time, I'm afraid I would make a mistake again, yes, that's right!" ”
"Zhao Qing's family! The Queen Mother said so......" He turned his head and squinted at Zhao Wei and said, "I heard that there are quite a few daughters in your family, even if this one is missing, it's not unusual, right?" ”
Zhao Wei took a deep breath, felt that he was a little angry, covered his chest, and almost fainted.
"Your Majesty! This! This! Zhao Tian's eyes were full of tears, and his hands trembled: "This is the minister's biological daughter!" Isn't what Your Majesty is doing to take meat from the hearts of his ministers? ”
The queen mother got the emperor's promise at this time, and a faint smile appeared on her face, and she looked at Zhao Wei sideways, she came over this time, in fact, what she valued most was Zhao Wei's reaction, and she already had her own wishful thinking in her heart, and at this time, seeing Zhao Wei's reaction was so big, her plan would definitely be realized.
"In this way, the emperor, this matter is decided, and the daughter of the Zhao family will postpone the beheading...... It's not too early, and there is still some food prepared by the mourning family, I wonder if Your Majesty has time to eat together? ”
The emperor smiled and said: "The queen mother is kind, but I still need to deal with the twists and turns, so I won't go." ”
The Queen Mother nodded, and then left, she just said it casually.
Zhao Wei only felt that his heart was half cold, and then left the room in a bit of a daze, and after walking out of the door, he breathed a breath of fresh air and felt that his head was much clearer.
No, now that the Queen Mother has divided power, Her Majesty is also respectful to the Queen Mother, now the government and the opposition are in turmoil, and there is harmony on the surface, but in fact, there is deceit on the inside, and the major families are fighting for power, and this Queen Mother is a person from the Dongfang family, Qi'er is just a chess piece that is being used, maybe I can start from other places!
His mind turned, he left the palace, sat on the carriage and jolted for a while, and then said, "Turn! Go to the Oriental Mansion! ”
"Yes! Master! ”
The groom turned the wheels, and then drove to the front of the Dongfang Mansion, and after parking, he went over to find someone to report, and after a while, a person like a housekeeper came out, Zhao Wei followed the other party all the way around and arrived in the front hall.
When I raised my eyes, I saw that the person sitting inside at this time was shaking his head and drinking tea, who was not Dongfang Hengsong.
"Hehe, Lord Dongfang, Yaxing, I am so far away that I can smell that this tea is the finest pre-rain peak."
"Ah, Lord Zhao is also a person who understands tea! I just concocted this tea, so I didn't go to the front to greet you, and I hope Lord Zhao is not strange! ”
The two of them gossiped a lot, but Dongfang Hengsong still looked like an old god.
"Hey! The situation is not as good as people! Zhao Wei sighed in his heart, and then the smile on his face became serious, since the other party was sure to grasp his handle, he really had to admit this loss!
"Lord Dongfang, I can't hide it, I came here this time for the sake of that little daughter!"
"Oh? I remember that Lord Zhao went to His Majesty to intercede earlier! Dongfang looked calm and relaxed, and said hypocritically: "Remember, His Majesty the Emperor has no extrajudicial grace?!" ”
Obviously, Dongfang Hengsong knew the result early on, and he must be waiting for him now.
Zhao Wei looked bitter, then raised his hand and said: "Lord Dongfang, His Majesty the Emperor has already relented, but who knows that the Queen Mother is ......"
So, so, and so, some explanation.
"Hiss~~~~" Dongfang Hengsong also made a solemn expression at this time, and said: "This thing is not easy to do!" ”
Zhao Wei thought to himself, if it's easy to do, do you still need to come over and beg you in a low voice?
"Lord Oriental! The Queen Mother seems to be the sister of the adult's relatives......" Zhao Wei looked at Dongfang Hengsong and said with a smirk: "I hope that the Lord can say a few kind words in front of the Queen Mother and spare my little girl's life!" ”
Dongfang Hengsong deliberately frowned, looking embarrassed: "My lord is cautious, how can we figure out what the Queen Mother does?" ”
"......" Zhao Wei didn't understand what the other party meant, so he looked at the other party with a deep groan.
The atmosphere was slightly embarrassing, and Dongfang Hengsong found a step for Zhao Wei: "But what you said is also sincere, hey, how many people who are fathers don't want their children to live better?" ”
Zhao Wei saw that things had taken a turn for the better, and his eyes refused to let go of Dongfang Hengsong, just waiting for him to speak.
"Lord Zhao!" Dongfang Heng Song concealed his thoughts a little, so he said: "The Emperor Taizu seems to be marrying the daughter of your family and the prince......
Zhao Wei suddenly woke up and understood the calculations of the Dongfang family and the queen mother, the marriage given by Emperor Taizu was embarrassed to be invalidated even if the queen mother was embarrassed to be invalidated, once the Zhao family married a daughter into the royal family, it was naturally above other families, and now although the four-legged stand can be dominated by the Dongfang family, and the Dongfang family can marry into the royal family, the current status can always be above other families, no wonder the queen mother has to intervene.
The marriage of the retired royal family is against the condemnation of the world, but if you take one of your daughters, you can exchange a marriage contract for another daughter......
Zhao Weiqiang couldn't help but smile: "Lord Dongfang...... The stakes are very high, and I may consider ......"
"Haha! Lord Zhao really understands people" Dongfang Heng Song stroked his beard: "Of course, but Lord Zhao, this time should be shorter, otherwise I'm afraid it's too late!" ”
A cup of tea was not drunk, looking at the back of Zhao Wei leaving, Dongfang Hengsong was secretly happy in his heart: "This Zhao Wei should be hooked, if there is no marriage contract, when the time comes, with a little operation, Jiujiu can marry the prince, in this way, it is only a matter of time before my Dongfang family power leans towards the government and the opposition!" ”
Zhao Wei returned to his house all the way, his heart was full of complicated emotions, and he returned to the courtyard, and did not go to the Zheng family, but went directly to Zhao Tian's courtyard.
At this time, Zhao Qian was preparing a scarecrow-like thing, fixing some drawings of the depicted human body veins, and reviewing his acupuncture knowledge.
Zhao Wei was not surprised, she just thought she was practicing and playing, and coughed twice after entering the hospital.
"Tilt!"
Zhao Tian noticed that it was Zhao Wei who came over, and after a while, he realized that he was going to salute, although he was not happy in his heart, but he still did it, after all, her identity was here, and she didn't want to expose too much of her feet.
"I've seen Daddy!"
"This ...... Tilt, my father came here today to tell you one thing, whether your sister Qi'er can be rescued or not may depend on you! ”
Zhao Tian was a little puzzled, but before she could speak, Zhao Wei took the initiative to explain: "I found Lord Dongfang today......
Zhao Tian saw that Zhao Wei was hesitant and took Zhao Wei's hand: "Father, it's okay to say something straightforward!" ”
Zhao Wei smiled awkwardly: "If you can break the marriage contract with His Royal Highness the Prince, then your little sister can be rescued!" ”
"This kind of thing, hehe!" Zhao was overjoyed and was ready to agree, but he pretended to be steady: "Daddy can't make his own decisions, why come and ask me?" ”
A faint look of embarrassment flashed on Zhao Wei's face, and at the same time, there was a trace of imperceptible guilt, but this emotion was very light, and even Zhao Tian didn't notice it.
"After all, this matter is indeed Qi'er's fault, and if it weren't for you, I'm afraid we would have to suffer a lot more, if you don't agree, my father will naturally think of other ways!"
"Woo, if you could think of other ways, you wouldn't have come to ask me......" Zhao Qian muttered to himself.
Then he hurriedly asked the system: "System, do you say that this marriage contract can be returned?" ”
"It's your business whether you retreat or not, why are you asking me to do it?"
Zhao Tian replied speechlessly: "Didn't you want me to keep this marriage contract at that time!" ”
"That's right! But it's over when the task is done, and it's up to you to deal with it after that, you still have to ask me such a simple question, are you stupid! ”
Zhao Qian swore that if it weren't for the fact that he had made a lot of effort to save himself before this system, he would definitely think about training this guy.
Zhao Tian immediately saluted and nodded on one knee: "It is all up to the father to decide, and it is really worth it if the divorce can be rescued!" ”
She felt uncomfortable when she thought of the prince's squinting expression, and this marriage contract was more like a shackle that bound her, and this shackle made her unable to flirt openly and honestly, and it was the best thing to get out of the marriage.
Hearing Zhao Tian's agreement, Zhao Wei also secretly breathed a sigh of relief with satisfaction, and then said: "This matter has wronged you, and I will naturally compensate you well in the future!" ”
Leaving Zhao Tian's courtyard, Zhao Wei was going to take a moment to go to His Majesty the Emperor's side, and when the time came, the relationship between the upper and lower levels would be settled, and Zhao Qi should be able to come out soon.
But the weather began to get a little hot, and Zhao Tian could clearly feel this faint feeling of dryness.
When she was bored, Xiang Yu ran in with a letter, and a lot of sweat broke out on her white head, "Miss, Miss!" ”
"You, what's the hurry!" Zhao Tian pulled her over, and then took a handkerchief to wipe her sweat seriously, and her focused appearance made Xiang Yu couldn't help but bared her teeth and laughed.
"What are you laughing at!"
"Hehe, if others know that Miss treats me like this, I don't know how many people are envious!"
Zhao Tian glanced at her, and then said, "What's the matter?" ”
took the letter in Xiang Yu's hand, opened it and saw that it was Juanxiu font, "Jiu'er always forgets her sister's life-saving grace, her body was unbearable in the past, and now she has recovered, and she wants to invite her sister to travel together, I don't know if it's possible?" ”
"Jiu'er is deeply hopeful."
Zhao Tian also felt that this girl was demure and cute, and he hadn't been out to play for long, so he readily agreed, and informed Zhao Wei that he didn't want to have the previous confinement incident, so he agreed to go out with Dongfang Jiujiu on a day.
