Zhao Yiling's head buzzed and went blank for a moment, the ringing in her ears suddenly started, and she couldn't breathe.
Sister Hua quickly came over to support him and said in a panic:
"Your Highness, you cannot stimulate the Second Princess like this, she is pregnant with your child!"
Yin Zhen quickly ran over, knelt down on one knee and held Zhao Yiling's hand.
"Yiling, don't be excited. In fact, peace and separation are good for both of us! But this doesn't mean that I will abandon you and the child in your belly! I will leave a special house for you, and you and the child can continue to live together in the future. Living in Baicheng, he (he) will still have a place after the child is born, and I will give you silver every month so that you will not have to worry about your life!"
Zhao Yiling's eyes were blurred with tears.
Perhaps it was the feeling of the child in her belly, but she did not break away from Yin Zhen's hand at this moment.
In any case, he did not abandon their children.
Feng Yingxue was a little at a loss. She didn't have the nerve to go over to comfort Zhao Yiling, so she just cried silently on the side. The self-blame made her heartache, and the imminent separation of the people in front of her made her feel like she was falling into deep water and unable to breathe. Too many pictures were knocking on her heart.
Zhao Yiling had envisioned this scene a long time ago, and she kept imagining how she would feel if she really separated from Yin Zhen. She would take a deep breath, she would give herself hints, and she would tell herself that for the sake of her children and her mother Yun Niang, she would never come back again. She had to get through the sadness, but when everything really came her heart was still broken.
"I accept!"
Three words said slowly and weepingly.
Zhao Yiling spent half his life's strength and courage to lift Yin Zhen up with tears and laughter, and the tears poured down like a flood.
"Don't kneel to me, you are the prince in heaven! I will shorten my life and die because of this!"
Yin Zhen was touched by her generosity. Zhao Yiling had always done a good job in taking care of her husband's face. She was forbearing, quiet, generous and tolerant. It was also because of this that she was destined to be the second imperial concubine. As long as she was stronger, she would not Hui Yin Wan'er joined.
"Yiling, I will compensate you well and treat you well!"
"Need not!"
A tall young man with fair skin walked out from behind the golden curtain. He walked directly to Zhao Yiling and took her arm, saying:
"Yiling, let's go and leave this place where your life will be worse than death!"
"I don't!"
Unexpectedly, Zhao Yiling shook off his hand and even took a few steps away!
"Han Junting, this is my family matter, you don't need to take care of it! Let's go!"
Zhao Yiling shouted hysterically.
Han Junting had no choice but to retreat behind the curtain angrily and helplessly.
Zhao Yiling calmed down for a long time and said weakly,
"Please ask His Highness Yin Zhen, the second prince, to write down the letter of Heli on the spot. Write down what he just said word for word, stroke by stroke, word for word. Then, please also ask everyone here to write on the Book of Heli." Give me your name and be a witness for me, okay?"
As she spoke, she slowly turned into a tone of pleading or even begging. Feng Yingxue couldn't stand it anymore. She went over to support Zhao Yiling and said
"Yiling, I'm sorry..."
Zhao Yiling raised his hand with a smile, put his finger on his lips and said in despair.
"Don't call me by my name. Whether it's Lan Cao or Zhao Yiling, they are neither your friends nor your sisters from today on!"
If you are fond of hurting others, you will hurt others a thousand times and hurt yourself eight hundred times.
Feng Yingxue burst into tears. She stepped forward to hug Zhao Yiling and save everything, but it was too late.
Zhao Yiling suddenly wiped away his tears, stood up straight and said with a pale face:
"As the second prince said just now, my reconciliation with him may really be a good thing. I have not sorry for anyone. The only person I am sorry for is the child I have not met yet. His life may be very good. He was born in The family of a royal family, and his parents were separated before he was born. He has a father but no mother, and a mother but no father. It is useless for me to be a mother. Another woman has snatched his father away. He has been snatched away. Sooner or later, I will tell him everything that has ever happened here, so that he will no longer believe in women, stay away from women, and even hate women, so that he can live a good life!"
Yin was shocked and stunned. He looked at Lian Chunhua and said,
"Is the second princess pregnant with a boy?"
Sister Hua rubbed her linen apron with her hands and said:
"Yes, Your Highness!"
Yin Zhen quickly ran over and held Zhao Yiling's shoulders with both hands and said:
"Yiling, we are no longer on good terms, I take back what I just said!"
Zhao Yiling smiled bitterly with tears in his eyes,
"It's too late. The words have been spoken and the deal is done. If the mirror is broken, let it spread!"
Yin Zhen cried and shook her shoulders,
"We can't do this, the children will scold us when they grow up!"
Zhao Yiling burst out laughing,
"I think the person he will scold is you! Since you can do such a thing, you must pay such a price!"
Yin Zhen gave Feng Yingxue a look, asking for help and his last hope.
Feng Yingxue calmly walked to her side and said:
"Long-term pain is worse than short-term pain. If you want to reconcile, it's better to divorce as soon as possible. Yin Zhen, let her go and let her be happy!"
Yin Zhen's heart tightened, he closed his eyes, slumped and sat on the ground.
Zhao Yiling shouted:
"Someone is coming! Someone is coming!"
The city guard soldiers next to him were stunned.
"Are you all deaf? I am still the Second Princess!"
A braver soldier stepped forward and half-knelt with his hands in his hands.
"Here, the Second Princess!"
"Bring me the pen, ink, paper and inkstone!"
The soldier glanced back at Yin Zhen sideways, and he nodded helplessly!
"Yes, the Second Princess!"
The soldier stood up and called the people next to him to carry the nearest desk to Zhao Yiling's seat.
Zhao Yiling returned to her seat by herself. She picked up a pen and ink to write. Her hands kept shaking and she wrote a few sentences:
"I, Yin Zhen, the late emperor's second son, have a rift with the Zhao family's daughter, and I beg him to marry me, so that we can have a peaceful and peaceful separation."
She raised her gold paint brush and said:
"Your Highness, you can write the rest!"
Yin Zhen was worried. He walked closer and took the brush with both hands and knelt on the desk. He glanced at Zhao Yiling's eyes reluctantly, and there was an extra firmness in her eyes!
Yin Zhenqiang endured the pain in his heart and wrote tremblingly, his tears dripping down the golden flower rice paper and soaking the fonts.
The whole place was so quiet that even the sounds of heartbeats, breathing, and sighs were clearly audible.
If Zimiao hadn't been there, maybe Cang Yuesheng would have walked over to comfort Feng Yingxue, because he knew that the two of them used to be as close as sisters, relying on each other and hugging each other for warmth, but now they are so close together and separated by the Milky Way.
Yin Zhen's handwriting was beautiful. After he finished writing, he slowly stood up and gently took He Liwen's hand in front of everyone.
He calmed down and said:
"Following the instructions of the Second Imperial Concubine, please write your names on this letter of peace and departure!"
After the words fell, no one came forward.
Cang Yuesheng looked at Feng Yingxue who was extremely uncomfortable, and decided to end this sad and embarrassing scene for her as soon as possible.
Cang Yuesheng picked up the brush on the desk in front of him and dabbed the ink, then stepped forward and wrote his name on the book of He Li in Yin Zhen's hand.
Zimiao quickly followed. This was the perfect opportunity for her to show off as a married woman in front of everyone, especially in front of Feng Yingxue. She wrote her name next to Cang Yuesheng's, and also drew a cute fox head. She smiled, satisfied.
Zhaolu also stepped forward. As the head of the family, she naturally had to be more proactive! Junxi and Dabang followed closely.
Slowly, everyone present signed and only Feng Yingxue was left. Everyone looked at her.
Zhao Yiling pretended to be expressionless and said:
"Come and sign, you are the only one missing!"
Feng Yingxue was in a stalemate for a while, then she turned and ran out of the yard.
The soldiers of the city guard wanted to chase but Zhao Yiling stopped him.
"Forget it, it doesn't matter if you don't want to sign! Thank you all, and thank you to His Highness the Second Prince for making it happen!"
Zhao Yiling took Heli Shu from Yin Zhen's hand and walked out of the yard silently, and Lian Chunhua quickly followed. When she passed by Han Junting, she said,
"Let's go!"
The three of them quickly left Hong Xiuzhuang!
Cang Yuesheng wanted to find Feng Yingxue to give her some comfort, but looking at the current situation, he decided to put the overall situation first.
He walked up to Yin Zhen and patted him on the back and said:
"Get up, everyone has been gone for a long time, we are still waiting for you to have a meeting!"
Yin Zhen took a deep breath and stood up and sat on the high-backed chair in the middle.
He straightened his clothes and hair and said:
"I made everyone laugh. I didn't expect that I invited everyone all the way to a meeting and ended up being turned into witnesses for no reason! Let's just come to the meeting!"
Yin Zhen walked to the side of the golden curtain and pulled a small golden rope, and a map of the world (please refer to the "Revised Map" pinned to the top of the comment area) hung down.
"Everyone, please take a look at this picture!"
Everyone's attention is directed to the huge map, which is a masterpiece of fabric embroidery by Hong Xiuzhuang. The map is made of white cloth and then uses various colored silk threads to outline the terrain and regions and write the place names.
"The people who can come today should be the ones who support my Yin Zhen! I think everyone has no objection to this, right?"
No one below objected!
"Baicheng, Jinyang, Mao'er City, Baihua City, and Hongyun Mountain all basically signed the "Book with Qinglong", but Mo City, Liyang, Shanding City, and some cities in the southern wilderness (to be introduced later) did not express their surrender. Me, that’s a big problem!”
"Mo Cheng doesn't want to think about it anymore, the world is already dominated by the Black Dragon Clan!"
Everyone turned around, and Qi Wenwen walked out from behind the golden curtain!
She walked straight to Cang Yuesheng's side, raised her hands to Yin Zhen and said:
"Qi Wenwen has met His Highness the Second Prince!"
"Without ceremony, Miss Wenwen, please continue!"
"I have investigated the situation in Mo City. The lord of Mo City, Zhao Jingyi, has colluded with the Black Dragon Clan to eliminate dissidents and kill me, Zhao Zhongliang. If Lord Cang hadn't sacrificed his life to save me, I might have died last night!"
Such words still surprised everyone present. After all, the definite bad news is the weight on the other end of the inner balance. Even if there is a straw, everyone will be heartbroken.
Yin Zhen was mentally prepared. He stepped forward and said:
"Miss Wenwen, you are the daughter of General Zhao Shiliang of the Qilin clan, and you are also the next leader of the Qilin clan. What are your plans if such an incident occurs?"
Of course she does. During the whole night of bathing in the Menghua Pool of Yuexingyue Palace, her sleep was intermittent, and she would wake up after a short period of sleep. During this period, she thought a lot. Of course, Lengdao on the side would also give some suggestions at the right time.
Qi Wenwen said:
"There is only one plan, to take back Mo City from Zhao Jingyi's gang of careerists, butchers, and rebels!"
"Okay! We both have the same idea! At least you, Qi Wenwen, should be the leader of the Qilin tribe and the city lord of Mo City. Today I am here to officially announce that Qi Wenwen is the city lord of Mo City recognized by Yin Zhen!"
"Thank you, Your Highness, the Second Prince!"
"The next most important thing is to capture Mo City and take back the Qilin Clan!"
Qi Wenwen gritted her teeth and said:
"Okay! But now that Zhao Jingyi has the help of the Black Dragon tribe, it may not be that easy!"
Zhaolu stood up and said:
"Perhaps it is a good idea to attack the city with the Black Wind Army!"
Yin Zhen asked doubtfully:
"Black Wind Army?"
"Yes, Suwen Qilin tribe soldiers are tall, brave and good at fighting. Only the Black Wind Army can compete with them! But before that, it is best to rescue Yu Wenlie. With him, he will be invincible in the Black Phoenix Army!"
Yin Zhen heard the meaning of the words,
"Zhaolu, you mean Yuwenlie was arrested in Mocheng?" They were all present when Yuwenlie was arrested, and Yin Zhen basically recognized that the arrester was Yin Tianqing.
"Yes, Wenwen said just now that the Black Dragon tribe has entered Mo City. I think Yin Tianqing must have taken him there. I can't think of a better place than that!"
Cang Yuesheng recommended himself,
"How about I go to Mo City again!"
Qi Wenwen shook her head,
"We have already alerted the snake. It must be difficult for Mo City to start with the dragnet now. Let's take a long-term approach!"
Zhaolu nodded in agreement and said:
"What Wenwen said is absolutely true. We should wait until the meeting is over to make other discussions and arrangements about rescuing Yu Wenlie!"
Yin Zhen nodded in agreement.
"Okay! The few of us who will stay to talk about Yuwen Lie will have to call Li Defa. He should also have some useful methods! What about Li Yang?"
Qi Wenwen reads a lot and understands the situation in various places better. She said:
"Liyang is mostly a nomadic tribe. They live in Liyang independently. Even the position of city lord takes turns. Therefore, the situation in Liyang is very special. If His Highness the Second Prince wants to gain the support of Liyang, he must win all the people. tribe!"
Yin Zhen felt a big headache now. Nomads were withdrawn and did not like to communicate with people from the Central Plains. He had heard many terrifying legends about nomadic tribes in the past. The key was that they were very good at fighting tough battles with strong soldiers and horses.
"How can we take down the various tribes in Liyang?"
Fengchai stood up and said:
"Give them a stable and prosperous life, give them a glorious and important identity, respect their culture and beliefs, and solve the specific problems of the nomadic people!"
Feng guessed that he was a practical person after all, and he got to the point.
"Then what should be done?"
Fengchai raised his hand and said:
"Your Highness might as well send envoys to recruit various tribes with favorable terms!"
"What if they don't want to recruit people?"
"Take the strongest and conquer them!"
"What if the strongest tribe doesn't want to obey me?"
"Unite the other tribes and attack them!"
Yin Zhen clapped his hands,
"Headmaster Feng has a great plan! Can I leave the matter of recruiting Liyang to you?"
Fengchai raised his hand and said:
"Your Highness, I would like to recommend a more suitable one!"
"Which expert is it?"
Fengchai turned around and said:
"Yin Duan, the elder brother of the second imperial concubine Yin Wan'er!"
"he?"
"Yes, Yin Duan often goes to various tribes in Liyang to do business. He has dealings with various tribes. It is most appropriate for him to be sent as an envoy to Liyang!"
Zhaolu smiled, stepped forward and said:
"Your Highness, what Master Feng said is true. From the financial reports submitted by the Baicheng Chamber of Commerce, we can see that more than half of the goods from the Red Dragon Clan's shops, workshops, farms, etc. were sold to Liyang and its surrounding towns. , villages, especially porcelain, rice, gold and silver jewelry, jewelry and jade, weapons and knives, dry food and snacks, rice wine and grain wine, the monthly income is more than 3 million taels! Among them, Yin Duan, the leader of the Red Dragon Clan, is indispensable! Since he Since he is the brother-in-law of His Highness, we can leave this matter to him!"
Yin Zhen nodded.
"Okay, I'll make arrangements for this later!"
At this moment, a man wearing white clothes and gold-rimmed Tiangong court clothes walked in. It was Bai Mei.
Everyone knelt down.
"I've seen the left prime minister with white eyebrows!"
Baimei raised his hands,
"Everyone, get up!"
Yin Zhen stepped forward and bowed his hands,
"Yin Zhen respectfully welcomes Prime Minister Zuo, please take a seat!"
"good!"
Yin Zhen faced Bai Mei and sat down on the high-backed chair in the middle.
"I'm here to announce an order that I and my right-hand minister, Germany, signed together. You all are here, so just listen to it together!"
"yes!"
Baimei stood up, took out a blue-covered memorial from his arms, opened it and read:
"The city lords of each city have learned that the Demon King has ordered all the demon clan main cities to expel Zhongzhou and the immortal clans. In order to reciprocate his merits, he specially ordered each city to clean up the demon clan in the city and leave the city and the country within three days! Zuo Xiang Baimei, You Xiangde has the same character and double seal!"
The city lords below all raised their hands and said in unison:
"yes!"
Yin Zhen stepped forward and took the blue leather folder and looked at it carefully. He was very excited, because this was equivalent to Tiangong's acquiescence in his previous expulsion of the Black Dragon Clan, and he immediately responded to the Demon King's actions.
Yin Zhen closed the fold and held it in his hands, saying:
"Thank you, Prime Minister!"
"Thank you, I'm just here to deliver the order! Yin Zhen, don't think that because we have made such a decision, we agree with your expulsion of the Black Dragon Clan. It is not advisable to kill first and then report later. Such an important decision is not yours to make. Yes, at least not now. Even if you become the Emperor of Heaven in the future, you still have to listen to everyone’s advice, otherwise you will get backlash and many things will escape your control and become out of control!”
Yin Zhen lowered his head, he was very embarrassed.
"Yes, what Prime Minister Zuo said is absolutely true. Yin Zhen must pay attention to it in the future!"
Baimei took a sip of wine and said:
"You're not careful enough, you have to be in your heart, there are no rules, you have to remember!"
"That's what the left prime minister taught you!"
"No, I didn't teach you a lesson. I just took care of you for the late Emperor. If the late Emperor were still here, he could give you a slap in the face. Do you believe it?"
"Trust! I was reckless!"
"But it's okay. Your abrupt move just started the second son's fight for the throne. Come on! But I'll put the ugly words first. If you do something that is obviously unfair or harms the people, you will be deprived of the prince. Position, do you understand?"
"clear!"
"Okay, I won't disturb your meeting now! Cang Yuesheng, please come out with me!"
"Yes, master!"
Being called out suddenly, Cang Yuesheng was extremely panicked.
When he arrived outside Hongxiuzhuang's door, Baimei took him to the alley next to him.
"master!"
Cang Yuesheng was the first to hand over.
"Tell me what's going on in Jinyang? You let a wild fox be the deputy city lord? Are you taking Jinyang's affairs seriously? Have you asked me for my opinion? Didn't Deqi give it to me? I said I don’t know yet!”
Cang Yuesheng panicked, because there were too many things to do, and she even forgot to report to her master.
He knelt down directly.
"Master, it was my negligence. I forgot to send you a letter!"
The white eyebrows were furrowed, with a look of resentment on his face.
"Why do you have the same problem with Yin Zhen? You do everything with your brain. Can you use your brain? Apart from anything else, do you know that fox? Do you know her details? Do you know her abilities? How do you do it? Do you think she can be the city lord of Jinyang and manage so many merchants and big families? You may not believe it. The wealth of Jinyang City is higher than that of Baicheng. There are rich people everywhere. They can catch a lot of them and have their own protection. There are a lot of people in the courtyard. If you get a person like this to be the deputy city lord, who can convince you? You haven't even stood up yet and are thinking about doing private things for the city lord's wife? By the way, what are you going to do with that purple fox? What should I do? Is the matchmaker marrying her, or is she just being raised like this without any status or distinction?"
The master's scolding made Zang Yuesheng confused!
It took him a while to come back to his senses.
"Master, I can marry her, but not now!"
Bai Mei almost slapped him.
"If you don't love her, let her go. Although the Fox clan is famous for being greedy for cheap and seducing men, they don't do evil, murder or arson. If they are well disciplined, they should be able to become good wives. If you are still thinking about Feng Ying, Xue, I have no feelings for that fox, I advise you to stop as soon as possible!"
Cang Yuesheng hesitated. He really didn't know how to reply to his master.
"Master, I don't miss Feng Yingxue. She is the sun goddess and I am the son of the moon. I just need to practice Xuanji with her!"
"Fart! In front of your master, I'm still talking nonsense here. Do you think I don't know what kind of magic Xuanji is? It can be practiced only when a man and a woman are matched and have a spiritual connection. What can you do if you don't have anything to do with her?"
This was the first time Cang Yuesheng saw his master getting so angry.
"The reason why I dug out your heart was to make you forget Feng Yingxue completely. If you keep doing this, I'm afraid she won't be able to become the Sun Goddess and you won't be able to be the Son of the Moon. Let's do this. I'll find another one. Find Canglang and ask him to go back to Cuizhu Mountain to find a new wolf to be the wolf king, so that you don’t have to run to the moon all the time, and Xuanji doesn’t have to practice either!”
Cang Yue became anxious and quickly grabbed the master's hand and said:
"No, Master! I will do it well!"
Bai Mei clasped his hands and said:
"Then tell me what you plan to do?"
Cang Yuesheng gritted his teeth and said:
"First, treat Zimiao well. Second, formally draw a clear line with Feng Yingxue. Third, manage Jinyang well and remove Emperor Ya Ya!"
Baimei's eyes widened.
"Did I tell you to get rid of her? You just gave me the Fox Clan, which is what I wanted!"
