Zhao Lang was puzzled and said, "But third brother, I don't understand, why are you doing this?"
Zhao Yanzhen turned to look at Zhao Lang and said, "Why are you doing this?"
"Secretly helping He Lian become the lord of Koso, so what if that person wins, it is just a contract between Yongdi and Qiangmo to maintain a stable border situation. Third brother, since you have decided not to fight for the world, after that, the three Brother, you can’t enjoy the credit, it’s not the second brother who will enjoy the credit in the future.”
Hearing this, Zhao Yanzhen whispered, "It doesn't matter who gets the credit between me and my second brother. What's important is peace on the border."
"But that person treated you like that, can this be the end of the matter?" Zhao Lang asked unwillingly.
Zhao Yanzhen said in a low voice, "Forget it? How is it possible? Even if King Liang comes to power, it doesn't mean that I will make it easier for him. It's just that this time I want to make him get what he wants, but he will never lose his heart."
After saying this, Zhao Yanzhen only lowered his eyelids.
After hearing what Zhao Yanzhen said, Zhao Lang stopped talking. He only said, "Since Third Brother has said this, I have nothing else to say. Anyway, no matter what Third Brother does, I They are all on the third brother’s side.”
However, Zhao Yanzhen patted Zhao Lang's shoulder lightly and said, "Good brother, I can rest assured if I have your words."
After the two discussed the matter, they naturally said no more.
Not long after this, Zhou Yingqi quickly handed several blood-stamped papers to Zhao Yanzhen.
"Your Highness, they have all been recruited. They say Princess Liang is the instigator behind the scenes." Zhou Yingqi said something.
Zhao Yanzhen didn't seem surprised when he heard this.
He only accepted the paper, and then whispered, "I understand."
Zhou Yingqi then asked in a low voice, "I just don't know what your Majesty plans to do with those people?"
"Since I want to give them a happy life, I will naturally leave no one behind." Zhao Yanzhen said without blinking.
After listening to Zhao Yanzhen's words, Zhou Yingqi only said yes and then retreated.
In Prince Liang's Mansion, Princess Liang Xu Zhilan was lying on the imperial concubine's couch while the young butler with whom she had an affair quietly dyed her nails with impatiens flowers.
Xu Zhilan's eyes were half closed, as if she was lazily enjoying herself.
But when the housekeeper touched the soles of her feet, Xu Zhilan suddenly kicked the housekeeper to the ground.
At the same time, an announcement suddenly sounded outside, "His Royal Highness Prince Liang has returned to his residence."
Hearing this, the person who was supposed to be waiting didn't wait, and the person who shouldn't be waiting suddenly appeared. Xu Zhilan, who was already upset, couldn't help but asked angrily, "How come he didn't even know when he returned home?"
The guard outside the door only whispered, "His Royal Highness Prince Jin and Princess Jin are here as guests, so His Highness Prince Liang returned directly to Prince Liang's Mansion."
Hearing this, Princess Liang's eyes became darker and darker. She seemed to finally understand what kind of result she was waiting for.
She just scolded the housekeeper, "What are you still doing in this room? Get out of here!"
After being scolded by Xu Zhilan, the housekeeper didn't reply. He just said yes.
Then the housekeeper silently collected the flower petals on the ground and went out.
Xu Zhilan, on the other hand, just continued to dress up slowly.
At this time, after Jin Wang and Jin Wangfei had already drank half a cup of tea, Xu Zhilan arrived belatedly. She glanced at Jiang Nianjiao and Jin Wang Zhao Yanzhen with a smile and said, "I'm really sorry to keep you two for so long." waited."
Zhao Yanzhen naturally didn't say much, and Jiang Nianjiao just smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, the princess is quite different from the last time I saw her."
Upon hearing Jiang Nianjiao's words, Xu Zhilan just touched her skin and said, "Why is it so different?"
Jiang Nianjiao smiled and said, "Of course she is getting more and more radiant."
After hearing this, Xu Zhilan didn't seem happy. She just said, "So what if it's radiant? It's not..."
"Xu Zhilan!" Before she could finish her words, Prince Liang warned her with a gloomy expression.
After being called by Liang Wang's name, Xu Zhilan stopped talking, and Liang Wang said, "Where have you been fooling around today? Why haven't you come over yet?"
When Xu Zhilan heard this, she just whispered, "Where can I go to fool around?"
Hearing this, King Liang just snorted coldly.
Xu Zhilan then only turned her attention to Zhao Yanzhen. She seemed to be thinking about why the people she sent out had not come back for a long time, and whether the disappearance of those people was related to Zhao Yanzhen.
However, Zhao Yanzhen looked very calm.
While she was thinking about this, Zhao Yanzhen suddenly said to Zhao Nianze, "Brother, I wonder how you have considered my younger brother's proposal?"
Zhao Nianze did not speak. He just glanced at Princess Jin, then at his wife and said, "Didn't you say that you built a new garden shed in Liang Garden a while ago? Why don't you go and have a look at the garden shed together?" how?"
Hearing what Zhao Nianze said, Xu Zhilan nodded cooperatively, "Okay!"
After Xu Zhilan and Jiang Nianjiao left, Zhao Nianze said to Zhao Yanzhen, "Third brother, you know that I have no intention of becoming emperor. Now I just want to grow old with Zhirou."
"Growing old together? Are you going to let Miss Zhirou grow old with you without any name or status like this?" Zhao Nianze asked in a low voice.
Zhao Nianze shook his head, "Of course not. If possible, I would like to return to the mountains and forests with Zhirou."
As if he heard a joke, Zhao Yanzhen just laughed and said, "Brother, there are so many people behind you. If you say you want to go back to the mountains and forests, I'm afraid they won't agree."
"After all, you are living happily in seclusion in the mountains and forests, but since they are your subjects, no matter who of the rest of us ascends the throne, we cannot tolerate them. Naturally, they will not be willing to be destroyed when the time comes, and you will go into seclusion alone. How can the common people in the mountains and forests be sure that they can protect their wives and children?"
After hearing Zhao Yanzhen's words, Zhao Nianze fell silent for a moment.
On the contrary, Zhao Yanzhen then continued to persuade: "Second brother, please listen to my advice. It is better for you to adapt to the current situation and become your father's heir. When you ascend the throne and no one can restrain you, you will stop being soft." When the girl is crowned queen, who will dare to oppose you?"
Hearing this, Zhao Nianze still just whispered, "Zhirou doesn't like to be a queen, and her temperament is not suitable for being a queen. I'm afraid that she will be wronged in the future."
Zhao Yanzhen then continued, "Then you don't want to wrong her, but then you can't even protect her? Then let her follow you namelessly and without status?"
Faced with Zhao Yanzhen's question, Zhao Nianze could only say in a low voice, "That's not the case. I'm just thinking, isn't there some way to have both sides?"
"Brother, how do you want to have both? You can't have your cake and eat it too, you've always heard of it, right?" Zhao Yanzhen said in a low voice.
Zhao Nianze did not speak immediately. He only said, "Let me think about it again."
Jiang Nianjiao and Xu Zhilan, who were walking in the garden on the other side, were obviously at odds with each other. After arriving at the garden, Xu Zhilan almost didn't even bother to talk.
If it weren't for the fact that King Jin had resurrected from the dead, she still wanted to get some news from him. At this moment, she had no intention of talking to Jiang Nianjiao.
"Princess Jin, His Highness Prince Jin came back this time uninjured, right? I wonder where he was found? Why didn't anyone talk to us when he came back?" Xu Zhilan asked softly.
Hearing Xu Zhilan's words, Jiang Nianjiao only said softly, "He was not injured much, but someone robbed and killed him on the road, and then he caught all those people. He was planning to torture those people to extract confessions. After all, these people saw Just come prepared.”
Hearing Jiang Nianjiao's words, Xu Zhilan's eyebrows darkened again.
So all the guards he sent out were caught? Did these secret guards confess themselves?
When she thought of this, Xu Zhilan felt uneasy in her heart.
She was afraid that Jiang Nianjiao would see her guilty conscience, so she whispered, "Really? King Jin is not injured, that's great, but I wonder if anything happened to the secret guards?"
Hearing this, Jiang Nianjiao immediately shook his head, "Nothing has happened yet, but there is no guarantee in the future. Moreover, I didn't expect that these boys are still dead soldiers. They actually have poison sacs hidden in their teeth. Fortunately for us, It was solved quickly enough, so there was no big problem. Anyway, it only took them one meal to recruit the person behind the scenes.
"
After listening to Jiang Nianjiao's words, Xu Zhilan obviously became more and more guilty. The dead soldiers she was talking about were obviously the dead soldiers she sent out.
If those dead soldiers don't come back, what will you do? When she thought that she might be confessed, she felt helpless.
It seems that before that, she should think of some more ways to prevent their smooth implementation.
So thinking of this, Xu Zhilan just said, "I wonder where these dead soldiers have been arranged? Why don't we escort them directly to the government."
"The dead soldiers were naturally placed directly in the water prison of Prince Jin's Mansion. After we find out who was behind the scenes, we will naturally take the initiative to send them to Dali Temple. After all, murdering the prince is a capital crime? What should we do? Can you just take advantage of those people?" Jiang Nianjiao smiled.
After hearing Jiang Nianjiao's words, Xu Zhilan's mind was in chaos.
Jiang Nianjiao seemed to have no idea about Xu Zhilan's thoughts. She only said softly, "I wonder what Princess Liang thinks of what I said?"...
Xu Zhilan only said coldly, "What you said makes sense."
Now that she has found out her location and how things will develop, Xu Zhilan no longer has any thoughts about dealing with Jiang Nianjiao.
So he just said, "I'm a little tired. You can explore this garden by yourself."
After listening to Xu Zhilan's words, Jiang Nianjiao didn't seem to care. She just said "Okay" happily.
Xu Zhilan walked back after Jiang Nianjiao agreed to her words.
She had to find a way to rescue those secret guards.
However, those people are already the only ones she can arrange. From this point of view, she may have no choice but to ask the people behind her.
