Zhao Yan did not know that Prince Zhengxi was going to make a huge bet with Yinyin.
He just rushed back to the palace and hurriedly went to see the empress.
"Your Majesty, Yan has made a new discovery."
For Zhao Yan, this was tantamount to confirming his judgment and at least helping him identify the key to the problem.
"My aunt came back just in time, and I also made new discoveries."
Empress Jiang Lingyue changed her accommodating attitude towards Zhao Yan, her pretty face was slightly frosted, and she revealed a fierce and domineering imperial temperament.
"Your Majesty, what does this mean?"
Seeing Jiang Lingyue's words full of jealousy, Zhao Yan couldn't help but feel jealous. Could it be that the expedient plan reached with Prince Zhengxi today was misunderstood by the empress Jiang Lingyue?
He came back in a hurry just to discuss the matter with Jiang Lingyue, because he was ready to take advantage of the situation, and he had already started planning a plan to trick the Western King.
"Haha, what else can I mean? As the saying goes, it is better to demolish ten temples than to demolish a family, so you can't beat the mandarin ducks with a stick."
Jiang Lingyue said sourly.
"mandarin duck?"
Zhao Yan was completely confused by Jiang Lingyue's sour words which made him jealous.
Suzaku did take the action of committing himself, but it was like playing poker to carry out orders.
It's like you are hugging a dead person, especially those eyes staring straight at you without any movement. The feeling of never resting in peace is unacceptable no matter what.
"I'm so envious of the flowers in front of me and the moonlight in front of me, how I love my husband and my concubine. Zhao Lang, tell me, if I were not the king of a country, would you treat me so tenderly?"
Jiang Lingyue took a few steps to walk in front of Zhao Yan, and even breathed resentment from her nostrils directly into Zhao Yan's face.
"Your Majesty is the supreme king of the country. How can you get carried away by the personal affairs of your children? You should put state affairs first. Yan now has something important to report."
Zhao Yan wondered if Jiang Lingyue had discovered his previous romantic debts. In any case, he couldn't remember it, but now that King Zhengxi was at his door, he could only fight back.
"It doesn't matter. Which wealthy family doesn't have three wives and four concubines? Men are more attractive if they are suave and charming."
Jiang Lingyue still can't forget the old love of Zhao Yan who spared no effort to save her. What's more, a woman loves her ex-husband. Zhao Yan is her first man and also her last.
Zhao Yan had important matters to discuss, but was repeatedly interrupted by Jiang Lingyue. His passionate energy was as if a basin of cold water had been poured on him, and he suddenly lost the sharpness of his charge.
"Since your Majesty has something to say, you might as well say it clearly. Yan is not afraid that your Majesty will know that he no longer remembers the past."
Since Jiang Lingyue can confide in Zhao Yan, Zhao Yan is not afraid to exchange this secret with her, lest Jiang Lingyue always suspect him of being erratic.
"Zhao Lang is the most filial, but it's my fault that I haven't pardoned Zhao Tianming, the father of the country, so that Zhao Lang is in a trance."
After hearing Zhao Yan's confession, Jiang Lingyue felt a little guilty.
It was strange for the Zhao family to rebel in the first place, but now we have only the confessions of the informants, without any real evidence.
Moreover, the informant was poisoned and died immediately, resulting in today's situation where there is no evidence of death.
Even if Jiang Lingyue is a prostitute, she can still see that there are dangers here and there are hidden secrets.
"Your Majesty is wrong. My father and Yan were indeed involved in the rebellion. But now Yan has a clever plan to make up for the mistake and cut off the wings of the person behind the scenes. I wonder what your Majesty wants."
Zhao Yan's words hit Jiang Lingyue's heart. It wasn't that she couldn't guess the sinister intentions of King Zhengxi, but that the imperial court had already been seriously ill during the reign of the late king.
She was left in a mess, and now she wanted to impress her, but she was afraid that before the dissidents were eliminated, the court would become a mess.
This put Jiang Lingyue in a dilemma, not daring to act rashly, and barely keeping the broken car moving forward.
"If Zhao Lang can extend his life for this dynasty, I don't mind if Zhao Lang has three palaces and six courtyards."
Well?
Where is this?
Jiang Lingyue's jumping thoughts completely made Zhao Yan unable to speak.
'Tender love is like water, and good times are like dreams. If our love lasts for a long time, how can we stay together day and night?'
Jiang Lingyue looked at the confused Zhao Yan and had no choice but to unfold a scroll painting, revealing the blonde beauty inside and Zhao Yan's personal inscription.
"Oh, I remembered, this was done by Yan Rong's palace painter, and it is also part of this plan."
Zhao Yan explained.
"But this painting was bought by my people from the market."
Jiang Lingyue smiled faintly, unable to tell that Zhao Yan's methods of picking up girls were hidden.
Nowadays, the market is full of Zhao Yan's love for seeing things and missing people. Even though she is the king of a country, she is secretly moved.
Especially those few golden lines, you can understand them naturally if you understand them, and even if you don’t understand them, you can literally guess the love and affection the male protagonist has for the female protagonist.
Forehead?
What a slap in the face, Zhao Yan did not order the painter to do that and make his love for Yinyin public.
But he did ask the painter to do this, mainly because he wanted the painter to be the medium and test Yin Yin's reaction, nothing more.
After all, a person with amnesia has no emotions to show in front of ‘unknown people’.
"It seems that I should give that painter a big reward. His work was better than expected."
Zhao Yan said to himself.
Little did they know that there was another financial backer behind this incident. Today, the capital market is covered with portraits of Yin Yin.
"I also want to try out exotic customs. I've got the girl in the painting right. Now tell me how you want to play a big game of chess."
As expected, Jiang Lingyue has the qualifications of an emperor and knows how to choose. Compared with her family and country, it doesn't matter if her husband is looking for flowers and willows.
In the past, he was ordered to recruit prostitutes, and now he is ordered to recruit concubines. Jiang Lingyue really understands Zhao Yan.
Although Zhao Yan has forgotten his personal feelings for Yinyin, wouldn't it be great to hug beautiful women to his left and fly together?
"Your Majesty, please take a look."
After accepting it, Zhao Yan noticed that Jiang Lingyue's heart was sour and quickly took out the pamphlet Zhao Tianming gave him.
Several key points were drawn.
"Even if I step on that old fox Chu Junliang's tail, there's nothing I can do against him."
Jiang Lingyue knew clearly that Chu Junliang was a veteran of three dynasties and had been operating in the capital for ten years. Nowadays, there are many disciples and old officials in the dynasty, and it is as difficult as climbing to the sky to move him.
"Your Majesty, it is precisely because of this that Chu Junliang does not want to be manipulated by King Zhengxi. We will take advantage of the conflicts between them to sow discord and profit from it."
This is the best way Zhao Yan can think of to deal with it at the moment.
Nowadays, it is absolutely impossible to take the initiative to anger King Zhengxi. Once there is a military confrontation, the court will immediately fall apart. Jiang Lingyue's foundation is too weak.
If they can only let dog bite each other and share the spoils unevenly, they will turn against each other. When the time comes, Jiang Lingyue will fight one faction after another, and finally defeat them all.
