Zheng Renji was distracted at the moment. When he heard Shangguan Wan'er's question, he waved his hand impatiently: "What can a little girl like you know? Go back to your room and learn needlework. Don't come here again." It’s causing trouble for my father!”
Shangguan Wan'er looked displeased when she heard this. She cleared her throat and said seriously: "What my foster father said is wrong. What's wrong with the woman? In ancient times, Hua Mulan joined the army for her father. Now Princess Pingyang of the Tang Dynasty is also a woman. A hero among women. Although Wan'er does not dare to compare herself to Hua Mulan and Princess Pingyang, Wan'er has received great kindness from her adoptive father. Even if her body is broken into pieces, it is difficult to repay her adoptive father's kindness!"
Zheng Renji's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this. He looked Shangguan Wan'er up and down for a while and said in a deep voice, "Wan'er, are you really willing to share your worries for your adoptive father?"
Seeing the cunning and viciousness in Zheng Renji's eyes, Shangguan Wan'er's heart suddenly thumped, and she suddenly felt something bad. However, she just expressed her willingness to share Zheng Renji's worries. How could she go back on her words at this time? She could only bite the bullet and say: "My foster father treats Wan'er with great kindness. As long as my foster father needs it, Wan'er will do her best."
Shangguan Wan'er was cautious at this time. She only said that she would try her best, but she did not say that she would repay Zheng Renji even if she was shattered to pieces. What this means is that you can help, but if you want to pay the price, don't blame yourself for messing up.
Zheng Renji didn't understand the meaning of Shangguan Wan'er's words. He just thought that Shangguan Wan'er had promised him, so he was overjoyed and said hurriedly: "Wan'er, to be honest, I am worried today because our Zheng family is going to have a big disaster. At the door."
When Shangguan Wan'er heard this, she covered her mouth in surprise: "Father, are you kidding me? Although Wan'er usually doesn't care about worldly affairs, she has also heard that one of the five surnames of the Zheng family in Xingyang is the seventh in the world. A first-class aristocratic family, even the emperor must show courtesy."
Zheng Renji smiled bitterly and shook his head helplessly: "The Central Plains has experienced so many years of war, and our Zheng family is no longer what it used to be. What's more, it is Emperor Yang Gao of the Sui Dynasty who is taking action against our Zheng family. Wan'er, you are the only one now. If you can save my father, you can save our Zheng family!"
"What? His Majesty the Sui Emperor?"
Shangguan Wan'er was so frightened that she staggered back a few steps, her expression tightened, and she said: "The emperor was so angry that he laid down a million corpses! How can Wan'er, a weak woman with no power to tie a chicken, have the ability to help her father?"
"No, you do!"
Zheng Renji stared at Shangguan Wan'er, with a trace of shame in his eyes, and whispered in a mosquito-like voice: "Wan'er, you are so pretty, even compared with Xi Shi Wang Qiang, you are not willing to give in. Our Zheng family's livelihood depends on you. It’s a big face.”
Shangguan Wan'er was able to be valued by Wu Zetian, so she was naturally good at reading people's hearts. Hearing Zheng Renji's words, he reacted somewhat and said dubiously: "Does the adoptive father want to dedicate his daughter to the Sui Emperor so that his daughter can provide some comfort to the Zheng family?"
When Shangguan Wan'er said this, there was still a trace of joy in her heart: "I heard that Emperor Yang Gao of the Sui Dynasty was young and had only four concubines in his harem, and he had no heirs. If I can really enter the palace to serve him at this time, with my means Maybe she will become the queen of Mu Yitianxia in the future."
It's a pity that what Zheng Renji said next broke Shangguan Wan'er's dream: "No, Wan'er. Although Yang Gao'er is young and vigorous, his character is definitely not comparable to others, but it is absolutely impossible for a woman to influence him. Decision. After my father asks you to get close to Yang Gao, take the opportunity to secretly assassinate him and eliminate this scourge for our Zheng family."
"Kill...Kill His Majesty the Emperor?"
Shangguan Wan'er shook her head like a wavy drum and tried her best to refuse: "Father, Wan'er has never trampled an ant to death on weekdays. How could she kill someone, let alone kill her like a prince? No, Wan'er can't do it!"
"Wan'er, as my adopted father, I beg you!"
Zheng Renji's legs went weak and he knelt down in front of Shangguan Wan'er, pleading with tears in his eyes: "Young son Yang Gao is now determined to cut off our Zheng family's way of survival. Only if he dies will our Zheng family have a way to live. Father, I beg you." Yes, Wan'er!"
Shangguan Wan'er is such a smart woman. Now that she is still young, how can she be willing to do such a high-risk thing as regicide and rebellion? No matter how much Zheng Renji pleads, he will never let go: "Father, Wan'er really can't do it, Wan'er Don’t dare!”
Zheng Renji begged for a long time, but when he saw that Shangguan Wan'er still refused to agree, he couldn't help but get angry. He stood up angrily and said with a bad face: "Wan'er, since you came to our Zheng family, I have treated you well. You are living the life of a young lady with rich clothes and food every day. Now that our Zheng family is in trouble and you refuse to help, then what is the use of me raising you?"
Zheng Renji spoke in a serious tone, and every word contained a threatening meaning. Shangguan Wan'er secretly thought that if she didn't agree to Zheng Renji at this time, she might be kicked out immediately. When the time comes, let alone being the queen of the mother world, whether she can survive or not will become a question.
In desperation, Shangguan Wan'er could only pretend to be pitiful and nodded gently: "Wan'er is alive today because of her adoptive father. Since her adoptive father must repay this kindness to Wan'er today, Then Wan'er has nothing to say, I only hope that my adoptive father will still remember that you had such an adopted daughter as Wan'er."
When Zheng Renji saw that Shangguan Wan'er finally agreed, he immediately brows with joy. Thinking about it again, I felt that my words just now were indeed a bit harsh. In order to prevent Shangguan Wan'er's inner dissatisfaction from causing the plan to fail, I stepped forward and patted Shangguan Wan'er's shoulder. Instead of the fierce look just now, I put on a charitable face. Said: "Wan'er, my adoptive father has been upset by this matter these past two days, so what he said just now was too harsh. If you really don't want to go, then don't go."
It sounds really nice to say it. If I really can’t say it, I’m afraid you will change your face immediately!
Shangguan Wan'er snorted with disdain in her heart, wishing she could immediately tear Zheng Renji into pieces in front of her. But on the surface, she did not dare to show the slightest dissatisfaction. She just squeezed out a few lines of tears and pretended to be obedient and obedient: "Father, since Wan'er has promised her adoptive father, how dare she go back on her word again? Foster father, please wait. Wan'er regards her as her own, and it's time for Wan'er to repay you!"
"Okay, good Wan'er, my adoptive father really did not misjudge you!"
Zheng Renji was overjoyed when he heard this and nodded in approval: "Wan'er, you have been dressing up at home these days. It will be your fourth grandfather's sixtieth birthday in a while, and your father will take the opportunity to hold a banquet to invite Yang Gao. Then everything will be up to you.”
"Wan'er, just follow your adoptive father's orders!"
Shangguan Wan'er bowed Yingying, but the moment she lowered her head, a hint of viciousness suddenly flashed in her eyes: "Well, Zheng Renji, don't think that I don't know what you thought when you took me in. Kill Emperor Sui. Your Zheng family is safe, and you may be reused by the Tang Dynasty because of this, but will Shangguan Waner still have your life? Hehe, if you want me to make a wedding dress for you, go ahead and dream! This time I will definitely I want you to shoot yourself in the foot!"
