When he saw Li Tannian, he was quite unhappy and said with a straight face: "Yinyin, since you came to Beijing, why didn't you look for your senior brother? Senior brother still learned about your existence from others. If senior brother doesn't
Come on, are you going to stop looking for me?"
Li Tannian was a little funny: "Senior brother, this is not easy, so I won't worry about it."
Zhao Chen was still dissatisfied, but after learning about Lin Yueniang, he softened a lot.
The senior brothers and sisters sat and talked about old times for a while. Zhao Chen told Li Tannian everything about what had happened recently, including learning from the hidden stake that she broke into the Hou Mansion secretly.
Li Tannian thought that Lu Zhi had told him about her coming to Beijing, but unexpectedly, it came from An Zhuang's mouth. Then, she was a little surprised, her senior brother actually placed an An Zhuang in the Hou Mansion?
That is the home of his future father-in-law and mother-in-law!
"Yinyin, in the original book, what was the ending of Gao Jin?" Zhao Chen's voice came to his ears again.
Li Tannian came to his senses.
In fact, the seventh prince's matter was indeed as she had guessed. It was really Gao Jin's handiwork. Now that senior brother asked about it, he felt defensive and fearful in his heart.
Gao Jin is a person, and Li Tannian feels that he still needs to tell him some things he is familiar with, lest he be unprepared to be stepped on by Jiu Qiansui in the future.
"He supported the third prince to ascend the throne. However, the third prince was plagued by serious illnesses and passed away within a few years. Later, he took control of the court and joined forces with the queen to promote another heir. However, within a few years, he fell into disgrace.
When he arrived at the Queen, no, he should have been the Queen Mother at that time, he was defeated by his ally and adopted daughter, the Queen Mother."
Zhao Chen frowned: "Queen?"
Li Tannian took a good look at him: "That is your current fiancée, Li Jintang, the legitimate daughter of the Hou family."
Zhao Chen's frown deepened.
He originally thought that his biggest threat was Gao Jin, but he didn't expect that the charming Miss Hou Mansion would have such great ambitions!
Zhao Chen doesn't like such an ambitious woman. If he had some affection for her before due to the power of Li Jintang's mother's family, at this moment, most of these favors have disappeared!
Li Tannian had been quietly observing Zhao Chen's expression. Seeing that he didn't speak for a long time, she was a little curious: "Do you really like that young lady from the Hou Mansion?"
Zhao Chen glanced at her sideways: "You know this is impossible."
They were best friends and never lied to each other.
Li Tannian understood what he meant just by listening to his words.
Shrugging her shoulders, she didn't say much, but she knew very well in her heart that after what happened to her mother, there should be no such thing as peaceful coexistence between her and Li Jintang.
After she finds out what that person did to her mother, she will definitely seek revenge on Li Jintang.
It's okay that the senior brother doesn't like that woman. When the time comes, she doesn't have to care so much if she really makes a move!
"It's you..." Zhao Chen looked at her. He originally thought that she had no feelings for Lu Zhi, but now it seemed that he was a little suspicious.
Zhao Chen hid his hands in his sleeves and curled them up slightly. Just as he was about to ask about Lu Zhi, Lu Zhi came quickly from outside.
"Your Majesty is here, why don't you let the servants in the mansion inform you? The general almost neglected your Majesty."
Zhao Chen felt displeased at being interrupted, but he didn't show it and just smiled lightly.
"I heard people say that Yin Yin is in your house, but I didn't believe it. But when I came here, I found out that it was true."
After Lu Zhi heard this, he glanced at Deng Yong calmly.
Deng Yong's heart was ringing with alarm bells, and he felt that he had been wronged.
What does it have to do with him? How could he tell others about his sister-in-law's whereabouts?
"General Lu, this place is a bit narrow after all. Why don't Yinyin follow me back to live on Zhuque Street."
At this time, Zhao Chen spoke again.
"No!" Lu Zhi refused without thinking. Everyone present was stunned when he heard this, but Lu Zhi spoke slowly: "Now, my mother-in-law's condition is still unstable, so I'm afraid it's not suitable to go to crowded places.
This house of mine is clean and perfect for recuperation."
Li Tannian thought about it and realized that what Lu Zhi said did make sense.
What's more, senior brother is encountering a lot of things now, and he doesn't want to cause trouble to her, so she still nodded.
"Senior brother, what he said is right. I won't go to your place to bother you."
Zhao Chen looked back at Lu Zhi, who smiled back.
After a long while, Zhao Chen finally sighed helplessly: "Forget it, Yinyin, if something happens to you, come to Zhuque Street to find me."
Li Tannian nodded: "Okay."
When Zhao Chen left, Lu Zhi followed him.
After returning to the capital, Zhao Shen was extremely cautious every step he took. His advisers came in and out of his study countless times every day, but he seemed to have forgotten Lu Zhi.
Lu Zhi knew that he was guarding against him. In the final analysis, Zhao Chen was too cautious, and he had not yet gained his trust.
After a brief silence, Lu Zhi finally spoke: "Your Majesty, have you ever thought about replacing him?"
These words were like a bolt from the blue, shattering the brief peace.
"Bold!" Zhao Chen shouted almost subconsciously, then turned around and looked at Lu Zhi carefully, "General Lu, you should know that trouble comes from your mouth, right? I'm just
An idle prince, as the general who came from Qingzhou with me, you are my own man, how can you talk such nonsense?"
"Since the prince's people should naturally plan for the prince!" Lu Zhi said this and clasped his fists slightly, "Does the prince know why the Taoist priests who encouraged the late emperor to take an overdose of pills are still alive after the late emperor's funeral?
Is it good?"
Zhao Chen narrowed his eyes. In fact, Gao Jin also talked about this matter with him.
However, this matter is still under investigation and they don't know.
Lu Zhi saw his expression in his eyes, and he smiled knowingly and said: "Actually, it's very simple, because the new emperor has a hidden illness, and he kept those Taoist priests in order to use their elixirs to extend his heirs."
"How did you know?" Zhao Chen asked urgently. After he reacted, he seemed to realize that he was impatient. He coughed again and pretended to be indifferent, "How do you know this?"
"Your Majesty, you don't need to ask any more questions. As long as you start with those Taoist priests, I believe that Your Majesty will definitely get what you want!" When Lu Zhi said this, he slowly raised his head and looked at Zhao Chen quietly.
Zhao Chen, who was always cautious, actually forgot to refute at this moment.
He wants the greatest power in the world. People like him have never been the kind of people to be inferior to others, whether it is in the end of the world or in today's Daqing!
But he has never dared to show these things, not even to his closest junior sister!
But at this moment, he actually felt that Lu Zhi understood him!
His yearning for supreme power made him take Lu Zhi's words to heart.
He took a serious look at Lu Zhi. He used to think that he was a reckless man. He felt from the bottom of his heart that such a person was not worthy of Yin Yin. But at this moment, he felt that he seemed to have underestimated this person.
A good-looking widower.
After giving Lu Zhi a deep look, he simply said: "General Lu's wishes are accepted by me." Then he left without comment.
Lu Zhi watched the people leave, then raised his head again and looked at the gray sky, with a bitter smile on his lips.
Why does he know...because he is an old friend!
After Lu Zhi returned to the mansion again, he questioned the people in the mansion.
When he was sure that the news was not leaked by anyone in his house, he frowned and reprimanded Deng Yong, only asking him to increase the manpower in his house. He also told everyone to keep their mouths shut and not to mention Prince Ning in front of Li Tannian.
.
Everyone was trembling, especially Deng Yong.
He didn't understand why his boss was so guarded against Prince Ning. Didn't he say that his sister-in-law was just Prince Ning's adopted sister? Was his boss overly worried?
He was thinking this in his heart, but he didn't dare to express what he was thinking.
In the blink of an eye, a few days passed.
Lin Yueniang's condition gradually stabilized, and Li Tannian would take her out to relax from time to time.
At first, he just walked around in the courtyard, and then he would take her out of the house and go to places where there were not many people, and walk around.
That day, as soon as she took Lin Yueniang to the main street, she heard Lin Yueniang shouting that she was hungry. There happened to be a famous restaurant on the street, so Li Tannian took Lin Yueniang and walked in.
There is also a private room upstairs in this restaurant, where you can observe the situation downstairs.
Li Tannian ordered a few signature dishes and opened the window of the private room. The couple looked at the street scene and ate the delicious food.
When Lin Yueniang is in a relaxed mood, she will also give her some vegetables.
When the meal was almost finished, there was a sound of rustling footsteps, and not long after, two people wearing black clothes and face coverings rushed out.
The two of them decided to take her life without saying a word.
Li Tannian reacted very quickly and subdued the two people with three strikes, five divided by two.
Hidden in the darkness outside, Deng Yong, who originally wanted to rush to help, saw this and hurriedly made a gesture to his own people to signal them not to rush forward.
"Li Jintang asked you to come?" Li Tannian's questioning voice came out in the private room. Deng Yong and the others exchanged glances and became invisible again.
The two secret guards in the private room did not speak after hearing Li Tannian's words, but their pupils shrank significantly.
Judging from this reaction alone, Li Tannian knew that his guess was correct.
She calmly took out two highly poisonous pills from the space, and heard one of them say: "Who are you?"
Li Tannian said nothing and took the opportunity to stuff the medicine into his mouth.
The secret guard was caught off guard. When he reacted, he had already swallowed the medicine. In an instant, the expressions of the two men in black changed.
"What did you feed him?" Another person asked, and Li Tannian used the same method and fed him again.
"Of course it's poison. If you want to take my life, I have no reason to let you go!"
The two men in black looked extremely ugly and started retching at the same time. However, even after vomiting for a long time, they did not vomit out the medicine.
Seeing this, Li Tannian could not help but kindly remind you: "I advise you not to waste your efforts. My medicine is not an ordinary medicine. It is colorless and tasteless and melts when put into the throat. However, I do not want to take your lives."
, you just need to go back and report to your master and ask her to come to me and give me an explanation, or you can take refuge in me from now on. Otherwise, this medicine will happen every month, and once it does, it will be very poisonous."
The two secret guards looked at Li Tannian's flowery face. At this moment, they looked as if they were looking at a venomous snake spitting out temper. No wonder their master was so afraid of her!
