Zhu Lian's sudden appearance caught everyone off guard.
Although Zhao Huan was calm and composed on the surface, and his majesty as a prince was uncompromised, he was extremely panicked in his heart. After all, his wife's aura was too strong.
When Chen Zhao and Zhu Peng saw that something was wrong, they prepared to apply oil on their soles, but they did not have the slightest courage to protect their Lord loyally.
As a result, as soon as the two of them turned their heads, Zhu Lian's oppressive voice sounded again.
"stop!"
The two of them immediately froze on the spot, as if they had been stabbed.
Zhu Lian would never scold Zhao Huan in front of other people under any circumstances, but as the saying goes, it depends on the owner to beat a dog. Zhu Lian wanted to do the opposite to swear his determination to prevent Zhao Huan from leaving the capital.
.
Being stared at by Zhu Lian's cold eyes, Chen Zhao felt that the hairs all over his body stood up. He didn't dare to hesitate at all, and he quickly lowered his head and saluted.
"My subordinates didn't know that the princess was here, so they bumped into her. Please atone for your sins."
Zhu Lian ignored Chen Zhao's show of weakness, walked up to him, and walked around in a circle, his sharp eyes like a tigress examining its prey.
"If you are outside the palace, of course I can't control you, but as long as you enter the gate of the palace, I can kill you with just one word."
"The armor that the prince needs to go to Yizhou Mansion was all prepared by you secretly. In other words, you know everything about it from beginning to end."
"You knew that the prince was going to take an adventure, but you didn't report it. I think you clearly want me to become a widow!"
Facing the terrifying pressure displayed by Zhu Lian, Chen Zhao's calves felt a little weak.
He was wailing in his heart. They were not a family. If they did not enter the same house, the couple Zhao Huan and Zhu Lian were simply more vicious and violent than the other.
In order to avoid being buried directly in the back garden as fertilizer by Zhu Lian, Chen Zhao looked at Zhao Huan with a sad face.
"Please think again, Your Majesty, Taiyuan Mansion is thousands of miles away from Bianjing, and no one can guarantee that something will not go wrong in the middle."
"The prince's safety is not only related to the prosperity of the palace, but also related to the life and death of the soldiers and civilians of Yizhou Prefecture."
"Your Majesty, please put the overall situation first."
Chen Zhao begged and kept winking at Zhao Huan, hoping that Zhao Huan would stop as soon as he saw the opportunity. If he angered the princess, he might not do anything to Zhao Huan, but the people around Zhao Huan would be miserable.
Besides, going to Taiyuan Prefecture is really not a wise move.
The members of the Cai faction are not fools. They must have gained wisdom through every experience and set up defenses at all levels. It is tantamount to wishful thinking to leave Bianjing without anyone noticing this time.
Even Zhu Peng quickly dissuaded him: "Is it true that my uncle can leave my aunt and Miss Zheng in Bianjing with peace of mind?"
"Although my uncle's strength is increasing day by day, looking at the entire Bianjing, the only person who can suppress the Cai clique's gang members is my uncle."
"There are no tigers in the mountains, and the monkey is the king. Uncle, you can't leave."
Chen Zhao and Zhu Peng spared no effort to dissuade Zhao Huan, not only because of Zhu Lian's pressure, but also because they felt that going to Taiyuan Mansion was too dangerous.
Zhao Huan did not argue, because he knew without thinking that no one in the entire Dingwang Palace and the Zhu family would support Zhao Huan's decision.
And just when Zhao Huan was "isolated and helpless", a sonorous and powerful voice suddenly sounded.
Zhou Boyu's eyes were burning, and his voice was sonorous and powerful. He was not timid at all because of Zhu Lian's noble status.
"My subordinates believe that the prince not only wants to go to Taiyuan Mansion, but also must leave immediately."
"The Battle of Yizhou has just ended. The Jin soldiers must be ready to move. There is not much time left for the reconstruction of Yizhou Mansion. How can we delay here?"
"How can you afford it if the war or even the fate of the country is delayed because of a small loss?"
Zhu Lian naturally knew that the man wearing a dark green gown in front of him was the retainer of the palace whom Zhao Huan had just recruited.
And what kind of Tianji Pavilion was created?
But she didn't expect that this person would dare to refute her in public.
Before Zhu Lian could speak, Zhu Peng gave up. He directly raised his finger and pointed at Zhou Boyu, sternly scolding: "Presumptuous!"
"You just entered the palace and you dare to contradict the princess? How unruly!"
"It was your suggestion to go to Taiyuan Mansion. I think you have no good intentions at all. Are you a spy sent by Cai Jing?"
Hearing this, Zhao Huan's face darkened, but he did not scold him. Instead, he looked at Zhou Boyu, looking forward to how Zhou Boyu would deal with Zhu Peng, a clan member who was related to him.
What Zhou Boyu said next immediately made Zhao Huan look at him with admiration.
"You can just throw dirty water on me. If I even offer a single sentence of explanation, I'm not worthy of assisting the prince."
"You, Chen Zhao and Wang Daquan are just trying to flatter each other. After all, there are some things that really need people like you to step in and deal with them."
"But when we enter the palace, we are here to do practical things, not to engage in verbal arguments with you."
"From now on, you will never step foot into Tianji Pavilion again!"
Zhu Peng was so angry that he was about to retaliate when he noticed the hint in Zhu Lian's eyes.
Zhu Lian knew very well that hard-working talents like Zhou Boyu could not be neglected. After all, everything Zhou Boyu and the other twenty disciples did was for the future of the palace.
At this moment, Zhou Boyu pointed the finger at Chen Zhao again.
"Although Brother Chen is eloquent, delicate and cunning, he is also a talented person. He not only knows the ways of businessmen, but is also quite knowledgeable."
"You only need to share the worries for the prince. As for whether the prince will go to Yizhou Mansion or not, this is a big plan. How can it be your turn to make irresponsible remarks?"
"As a subordinate, the most important thing is to clearly define your position!"
"If even you can influence the prince's decision-making, then I and the twenty disciples will withdraw from the Tianji Pavilion now. This means that the prince is just a stupid person and is not worthy of our efforts."
Chen Zhao's face turned red and he wanted to refute several times, but he swallowed the words again.
Unlike Zhu Peng, the stupid young man, the smooth and sophisticated Chen Zhao would never quarrel with Zhou Boyu in front of Zhao Huan.
Besides, Zhou Boyu was right, he did cross the line a bit...
Regardless of whether Zhao Huan goes to Taiyuan Mansion or not, he is not the one who should interrupt. The only thing he has to do is to obey orders.
After all, Chen Zhao must learn from Tong Guan's mistakes.
After Zhou Boyu angrily denounced Zhu Peng and Chen Zhao, he showed no intention of stopping, and his eyes actually fell on Zhu Lian.
"It is understandable that Her Royal Highness the Princess loves her husband very much, but first of all, Her Royal Highness the Princess, please understand that you are a virtuous wife, not a hindrance to the Prince's great achievements."
"Facing Her Royal Highness the Princess, this is all I can say."
As a practical person, Zhou Boyu is straightforward, but he is not reckless. He just doesn't want to waste his precious time on guessing riddles.
As for Zhu Lian's reminder, it will stop as soon as it is clicked.
