Chapter 712 Assassination of Lord Zhaonan(1/2)
Prefect's Mansion!
In the inner courtyard, in the lobby.
The mid-autumn breeze in the courtyard outside the hall is bleak and cold.
A warm fire burned in the hall, illuminating the surrounding area.
At this time, standing in front of Li Beifeng was a pink and tender girl.
She was blinking her slightly curious and excited eyes, looking up and down at Li Beifeng.
"elder brother?"
Li Beifeng looked at the cute little girl in front of him and was filled with emotion. He chuckled and said, "Yao Yao!"
"Brother? It's really you!"
The little girl's eyes suddenly brightened, and she ran to Li Beifeng with excitement, and said coquettishly: "Brother, where have you been? Why haven't you come to see Yaoyao for a long time?"
The pink and cute little girl in front of her is the little girl that Li Beifeng treated when he was in Lijia Village.
Later, in Chaoyang County, he realized that Yaoyao had been poisoned and saved her life!
In the blink of an eye, more than a year has passed!
In more than a year, this little girl has grown up a lot.
"Brother went to do some important things. If he doesn't come back now, will he come to see you?"
Li Beifeng chuckled lightly, with a hint of doting in his eyes.
Perhaps after becoming a father, Li Beifeng's mood changed a lot. Seeing this cute little girl in front of him, he seemed to anticipate how Qi Ling would grow up in the future.
She should be as cute as Yaoyao, right?
"Yao Yao, don't be rude to your brother!"
Just when Yaoyao was pestering Li Beifeng and asking Li Beifeng to talk about some interesting things outside, a voice came.
Li Beifeng looked up and saw a beautiful young woman walking slowly and scolded her softly.
"Mother~"
Yaoyao then stuck out her cute little tongue and trotted back to her mother.
"Meet Madam!"
Li Beifeng cupped his hands and said, the young woman in front of him is Yaoyao's mother.
"Master Li, I made you laugh!"
Mrs. Chen sighed softly: "Yao Yao has caused trouble for you!"
"Madam, Yaoyao is very cute!"
Li Beifeng chuckled and said, "It would be great if my daughter could be as cute as Yaoyao in the future!"
Mrs. Chen was startled: "Mr. Li, do you already have a daughter?"
"yes!"
Li Beifeng nodded, his face full of doting.
"Why haven't you heard Mr. Li mention it?"
Mrs. Chen asked doubtfully: "When did Mr. Li get married?"
"We're not married yet!"
Mrs. Chen was stunned. Not married yet?
Have a daughter?
Isn't this...
"It's hard to describe in words!"
Li Beifeng sighed. He already had children, but they were not married yet. If word of this spread, he might be in trouble.
Mrs. Chen was slightly startled, but then a smile quickly appeared on her face: "I see, when Mr. Li gets married, do you want to inform him so that I can congratulate Mr. Li?"
Li Beifeng smiled and said: "If there is a chance, I will definitely do it."
The two exchanged simple greetings, and Mrs. Chen realized that Li Beifeng had something important to do, and then left with Yaoyao in her arms.
Li Beifeng walked out of the lobby and glanced at the backyard not far away.
Not long after, Zhao Ying appeared in the backyard.
She walked over slowly and coldly, and glanced at Li Beifeng.
"What's wrong?"
Li Beifeng asked.
"Um."
Zhao Ying nodded slightly coldly, with a strange look in her eyes, and walked towards the door.
Then, Chen Yannan's figure appeared from the backyard.
"uncle!"
When Chen Yannan saw Li Beifeng, a strange look appeared on his face.
Li Beifeng subconsciously asked: "Uncle and the eldest princess, have they reached an agreement?"
A look of admiration appeared on Chen Yannan's face: "The eldest princess is extremely intelligent and well-deserved for her beauty and talent. I admire her endlessly!"
As if remembering something, Chen Yannan said excitedly: "With the help of the eldest princess, I, Da Zhao, can be saved!"
The current war in Nanzhou is Chen Yannan's biggest headache right now. Once Nanzhou falls, he will become the sinner of Jokhang.
At this moment, the eldest princess and Li Beifeng arrived, giving Chen Yannan a chance of survival!
Li Beifeng said: "Uncle, I still need more help from you on this matter!"
Whether the assassination of Prince Zhaonan can be successful and whether he can escape unscathed depends on Chen Yannan's assistance.
"Don't worry, I will do my best to assist the eldest princess!"
Chen Yannan's eyes were firm. The eldest princess secretly came to Nanzhou this time to solve the rebellion of Prince Zhaonan. As a minister of Zhaonan, he would do his best to cooperate.
"In that case, I will come back to my uncle to discuss the specific details later. For now, I won't disturb your uncle!"
Li Beifeng raised his hands and prepared to leave.
Contacting Chen Yannan was a step in Li Beifeng's plan.
He and Chen Yannan were already on good terms with each other, and with her status as the eldest princess, the plan naturally went smoothly. With Chen Yannan's intervention and help, the assassination of Prince Zhaonan had a good chance of success.
But even so, you still have to proceed with caution.
"Stay!"
At this time, Chen Yannan suddenly called out to Li Beifeng again.
Li Beifeng stopped: "Uncle, is there anything else?"
Chen Yannan looked at Li Beifeng quietly, seeming to think of something, and said in a deep voice: "Eldest Princess, are you pregnant?"
Li Beifeng was startled, but then nodded: "That's right!"
Now that Zhao Ying's pregnancy has become apparent, it is not a surprise for her to be seen.
"The eldest princess is actually pregnant?!"
When he realized this, Chen Yannan looked very shocked, but he had never heard of the eldest princess getting married?
As if he realized something, Chen Yannan's eyes suddenly trembled slightly, and he lowered his voice: "Beifeng, your relationship with the eldest princess...isn't it normal?"
Li Beifeng was stunned for a moment, and then he understood what Uncle Chen meant.
"Uncle, you misunderstood..."
Li Beifeng spoke softly.
Under the current situation, Li Beifeng naturally cannot tell the truth about him and Zhao Ying.
Chen Yannan also guessed that the eldest princess was pregnant even though she was not yet married. The person accompanying the eldest princess now was Li Beifeng, which made him guess something.
Seeing Li Beifeng's denial, he didn't think much about it. He nodded slightly and warned: "In this case, the eldest princess is pregnant. You should take good care of and protect the eldest princess, and be sure not to make any mistakes!"
"Uncle, don't worry, I will take good care of the princess!"
Li Beifeng nodded, and after some more pleasantries, he left the prefect's mansion.
In the courtyard, Chen Yannan stood there and remained silent for a long time.
Behind him, Mrs. Chen appeared slowly, came to the yard, glanced at him, and said worriedly: "What's wrong? Are you still worried about the rebels?"
"As long as the rebellion is not quelled, I will feel uneasy!"
Chen Yannan sighed for a long time: "Seeing the families of my Nanzhou people being destroyed, I feel heartbroken but there is nothing I can do..."
Mrs. Chen knew that her husband was worried, and she sighed softly: "This is not something you can bear alone. If the Jokhang court doesn't do anything, what can you do?"
"By the way, why did the eldest princess come here suddenly? Could it be..."
"Madam, please don't spread this matter, don't let anyone know about it!"
Chen Yannan's face was slightly calm and he said solemnly: "Whether Dazhao can quell the rebellion depends on this time!"
"..."
Li Beifeng walked out of the prefect's mansion and was about to leave when he saw a man in white clothes standing quietly under the eaves of a tree not far away.
He was startled for a moment, then smiled and walked closer.
