Chapter 142: The Princess's Life
In the lobby, Liu Yikang and Huayan confronted each other strongly, each with their own aura, and no one was willing to admit defeat easily.
Liu Yikang raised his sleeves, pointed at the painted face, and his eyes were stern, "You instructed the third brother to do this?!" ”
Hua Yan slowly walked down the steps of the chairman, and said softly: "Don't be angry, and listen to me." The matter of secretly controlling Pengcheng is the person I sent, and the third prince does not know about it at all, with the friendship of the third prince to you, if he knows, he will definitely not allow me to do this. It is precisely because I see this that as the general staff of the Three Princes, I cannot turn a blind eye. ”
"What the hell do you want?!"
"Your people, and the power of your arms." Painting Yan pressed against Liu Yikang's chest, looked at him tightly and said.
Liu Yikang was forced back by the beautiful and cold eyes of the painted face, and said in a panic: "What a big breath, why do you think this king will obediently hand over the military power......
Hua Yan raised his head and smiled lightly, and chased him a few steps forward, "I will never do things that I am not sure of, and say the impossible. Do you think you have a better choice? Attached to the imperial court? I'm afraid you don't even have the freedom to play around now. On the contrary, if you submit to the three princes, when the dynasty is changed, your status will be a hundred times more brilliant than now! ”
Liu Yikang was frightened by the sharp eyes of the painter and couldn't help but retreat again, "You mean, the third brother wants to ......"
"Yes, the arrival of the third prince is in response to the hearts of the people at the time, and it is imperative." Huayan slowly walked towards Liu Yikang and continued: "At that time, you will be under one person and above ten thousand. What does the prince think, what is the condition I put forward for you? ”
Liu Yikang shook his head and retreated, with a blank expression, "What if you use all the troops in the hands of this king?" It can't compete with the imperial court at all! ”
"As long as the prince is willing to do what I say, he will definitely be able to do it." He said with a smile on his face and a soft gaze.
"It's too risky! Who can guarantee that if this king surrenders his military power, he will definitely win in the future? Liu Yikang continued to retreat until there was no way back at all.
"I'll guarantee it." Hua Yan stretched out his hand, gently pulled Liu Yikang's sleeve back to the seat in the center of the lobby and sat down, pressed his hands on his chair, and continued: "Today, the emperor is incompetent, the Zhang family is in charge, and the people have long complained. She Empress Dowager Zhang, "Speaking of this, Huayan suddenly paused for a while, stood up, looked into the distance, and his eyes gradually became gloomy. "My old accounts with Empress Dowager Zhang are bound to be settled, and a bloody battle is inevitable." She looked back at Liu Yikang, "Would the prince rather go against Taoyuan or even the entire rivers and lakes and surrender to the imperial court?" ”
The last glance of the painting pierced the last line of defense in Liu Yikang's heart. Liu Yikang was finally defeated by the powerful aura of Huayan, and couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
Peng Cheng belongs to himself on the surface, but in fact it is just a soft wall, which can be easily broken. Now he was even drawn from the bottom of the painting kettle, and was restrained by her, and he was trapped in his camp single-handedly.
Although Huayan didn't do anything to herself at the moment, maybe she would take advantage of the third brother's inattention to pay any bad attention, she couldn't do anything when she was ruthless! Liu Yikang looked at Huayan resentfully, thinking to himself.
What choice is there now? Although I will not submit to the imperial court, I just hope to live an unrestrained and undisturbed life in a radial land, but the third brother needs help, how can I ignore it?
Originally, I just thought about not expressing my position no matter what, and dealing with the past casually, but who knew that I had entered the wolf's den that had already been laid out by the painting!
Sooner or later, there will inevitably be a scuffle in this world, how can I be alone? It's better to join the side that wins the most.
Thinking of this, Liu Yikang stood up and said solemnly: "Okay, this king is willing to hand over the military power." But, you have to keep your promises. ”
Huayan smiled slightly, and said: "Don't worry, Huayan will never break his word." ”
"Slow, this king has one more request."
"Lord Wang, please speak."
"This king wants Tatelynlang to be the princess of this king!"
"What?" Huayan frowned slightly, and was about to speak, when she suddenly saw a black shadow flickering in the corner of the door, she walked to the seat next to the door and sat down, paused for a while, and continued: "Tately Linlang is a guest invited by you, the prince, if you want to say that this matter should be told by the prince himself to the girl." I don't have the right to make any comments or actions. She was talking to Liu Yikang, but her eyes kept paying attention to the dark shadow outside the door.
"No, you have!" Liu Yikang excitedly leaned over to Huayan's side, "Not to mention Yidu Palace, even the entire Pei County is under your palm, as long as you say a word, who dares to disobey?" ”
Huayan raised his eyebrows meaningfully and asked, "I don't know how many times higher than Huayan, how could the prince say this." ”
Liu Yikang put down the shelf and said in a pleading tone: "This king admits that no matter the strategy or martial arts, the king is not as good as you." This matter is extremely important to this king, and if you get this person, you don't want any merits! You have to help the king do this. ”
Huayan gradually cooled down, stood up, and flicked his sleeves, "What does the prince regard people?" If you want to be your own, you will keep it for yourself? All human beings are equal and have the right to choose their own way of life. If the prince wants me to hunt the girl for you, I can't do it! ”
"You! ...... This king put down his identity and begged you, but you turned a blind eye?! Then the military power you want cannot be taken away from the hands of this king, unless this king dies! Liu Yikang's neck flushed and said excitedly.
At this time, the dark shadow outside the door gradually moved into the house.
"The prince doesn't need to say it, Linlang is willing."
Liu Yikang heard the prestige, but saw that Tatelinlang didn't know when she appeared.
He stepped forward and asked happily, "You...... Are you really willing to go to Pengcheng with this king and be the princess of this king? ”
Tately Linlang glanced at Huayan with a provocative look, and replied expressionlessly: "Go back to the prince, the little girl is willing." ”
"Linlang ......" painted his face and stopped.
Every time she saw Xiao Minglang's eyes, the meaning revealed, she didn't know it, it was because she understood that she knew that she agreed to marry Liu Yikang just for the sake of a momentary anger.
What should she say, she knew that whatever she said at this point would be counterproductive. She had noticed the dark shadow by the door for a long time, and she knew that the conversation in this room had been heard by Tate.
Tately Linlang's heart is indeed as Huayan thought, in order to be angry. But she still has a small abacus. Everyone said that she looked like a painting, stained with the light of the painting, and was loved by everyone, and only regarded her as a copy of the painting.
She has long been dissatisfied in her heart, she boasts that everything is no worse than painting, but her status is low, and she is soft-spoken.
All the light was taken away by the painted face, and she was not willing to be defeated.
If you can become a princess in one fell swoop, not to mention that you can overwhelm the painted face, you can be regarded as an equal. In terms of fame, the painter has to salute her. Thinking of this, Tatelinlang's heart is extremely happy and satisfied.
Just when everyone fell silent, Zhong Laosan suddenly jumped in from outside the door, clapped his hands and smiled: "I just said, the ghost girl is rich and noble, and now she is really a princess!" In the future, my Zhong Laosan can also enjoy the blessings of his daughter, eat fragrant and drink spicy! Hahaha......"
Hua Yan was about to say something, but saw a guard outside the door come to report, "Report, Xiao Gongzi is back!" ”
"Okay, I got it." Hearing Xiao Minglang's news, Hua Yan completely forgot what he was about to say, completely left the three people beside him behind, turned around and walked quickly towards the front yard.
As soon as I came to the courtyard in the front yard, I saw Xiao Minglang walking over.
"What's wrong? But where does it hurt? Hua Yan asked worriedly, quickly took out a handkerchief from his cuff to wipe the dust on Xiao Minglang's face, and saw that his clothes seemed to be cut by a knife and stained with blood, so he couldn't help but look around.
Xiao Minglang lightly pressed Huayan's hand and said with a smile: "I'm fine, but I was scratched by a few branches." ”
Hua Yan stroked the wound on his arm distressedly, and hurriedly asked Sheng Lan to bring the medicine box to bandage him.
"How is the prince's injury?" Xiao Minglang suddenly asked, he obviously heard about Liu Che'er's injury from someone else.
The hand that painted the face and applied the medicine paused, "It's okay anymore, just recuperate for a few days." ”
She remembered the 'artificial respiration' that made everyone criticize, and she was a little apprehensive.
Xiao Minglang didn't ask, and quietly watched Huayan's actions.
Shenglan felt inconvenient to disturb and quietly withdrew from the courtyard.
It wasn't until he was completely sure that there was no more wound on Xiao Minglang's hand that Hua Yan put down the medicine bottle and raised his head.
But see, the breeze blows the willows, and the flocculent is full of air, and a pair of warm eyes flow.
Huayan couldn't help but sigh secretly, how good would it be if they sat quietly together like this until they were white?
The two looked at each other, comprehending that no matter how many words they had, they would be superfluous, and no matter how big the misunderstanding was, it would dissipate.
In the seclusion, Tately Linlang left gloomily, she knew that in Xiao Minglang's eyes, there was no room for a shadow.
A few days later, the drought in Pei County was finally completely resolved. New water sources have been excavated and the moat has been restored with new tributaries.
Not only the people in the city, but also the residents around Pei County rushed to the gate of Yidu Wangfu to thank Liu Che'er.
The story of Liu Che'er, the king of Yidu, saving the water with his body, spread all over the world, and everyone praised Liu Che'er for loving the people like a son and governing the sages.
When the Queen Mother and Xie Hui heard this, they were more vigilant against Liu Che'er.
The matter of saving the water is coming to an end, and it is time for Liu Yikang to leave.
Liu Che'er ignored Huayan's dissuasion, insisted on going to the ground and rushing to the door to say goodbye in person.
"The third brother's life-saving grace, the younger brother will never forget. In the future, as long as the third brother says a word, the younger brother will go to the soup and die! Liu Yikang bowed respectfully to Liu Che'er.
Liu Che'er hurriedly helped Liu Yikang up, "Brother Kang, there is no need to be so polite between you and my brothers. ”
Huayan leaned closer and said with a smile: "I heard that the pastries in Pengcheng County are the best, and if I have the opportunity, I will definitely go to Pengcheng County to live for a few days and taste the delicious food there. ”
Liu Yikang's face changed abruptly, his eyes wandered, and he said unnaturally: "This king is welcome." ”
Xiao Minglang stepped forward and arched his hand: "Lord take care." ”
Liu Yikang nodded, turned around and was about to get into the car, when he suddenly remembered something, turned back to the back of the crowd and said, "Miss Tate, get in the car with this king?" ”
Tately Linlang walked out slowly from the gaze of everyone, and she bowed slightly to Liu Che'er, "Thank you for the warm hospitality of the prince these days, and Tately Linlang will say goodbye." ”
Liu Che'er didn't know about Liu Yikang's deal with Huayan, let alone Lilinlang's sudden choice, so she just nodded blankly and watched her get into the car in silence.
"Miss Tate, are you going to Pengcheng?" Xiao Minglang couldn't help but ask, he only thought that Tatelinlang was forced by Liu Yikang's suppression.
When she heard that Xiao Minglang had finally called her, she was both happy and melancholy, she forced a smile on her face, turned around and replied, "I'm going to Pengcheng, but I'm sure we'll see each other soon!" ”
After Tate, Linlang glanced at the painting meaningfully, and resolutely stepped into the carriage.
Huayan turned around to look at the crowd, but he didn't see Limu's figure.
Zhong Laosan couldn't care about these people's intrigues, and he carried a gift bag and sat at the back of the carriage.
Ying Han bowed to Liu Che'er, turned around and jumped into the carriage, and also glanced at Hua Yan with an unpredictable gaze.
With the sound of the coachman's whip, the carriage slowly drove out of the city gate.
"Miss let him go like this, what if he regrets it in the future?" Yutai Mingyue leaned behind Huayan, frowned, and asked quietly.
"The fourth prince can remember my brother in Pengcheng, and he will not and dare not easily regret it." Hua Yan watched the carriage go away, and his gaze gradually became deeper. She was more worried about the other person, and her intuition told her that the future four princesses would never follow the 'rules' she had set.
