Zhao family, tea room
Xie Zhan and Zhao Yutan, an unmarried couple, sat facing each other, with two cups of hot tea between them, the aroma rising, but neither of them were thinking about it.
"If you have anything to do, just tell me." Xie Zhan faced his fiancée calmly.
Regarding the fact that he was deceived by his future father-in-law just because his fiancée wanted to see him, Xie Zhan felt that the veins on his forehead were pulsing.
His indifference made Zhao Yutan very sad, "Zhan Lang, don't you like me coming to you at this time?"
In fact, she came to him this time to tell him something very important, and the sooner she told him about it, the better it would be for him and the two of them. She asked him to meet because of his consideration. Otherwise, since their wedding was only a few days away, she could wait until after the wedding to talk to him.
"No, you are thinking too much." Xie Zhan had a headache, but he had to comfort her. That's what he really thinks. If there's anything he wants to say or do, he can't wait until he gets married to talk about it. But others are here, so why say those hurtful words, which is not good for the relationship between the two.
"I'm looking for you this time because I actually want to tell you -" Zhao Yutan bit her lip and said, "Your Majesty..."
"Um?"
"The emperor's life is probably running out."
Xie Zhan looked at her in surprise. Seeing her nervous look, the original sentence of 'How did you know' was finally changed to, "Are you sure the news is true?"
"Promise it's true." Zhao Yutan breathed a sigh of relief quietly. He didn't ask any further questions. Otherwise, she wouldn't know how to answer him. She couldn't tell him that she was dreaming about it, right?
Yes, she had another useful dream for the future. Emperor Kang Cheng's life was approaching, this was what she had dreamed about recently.
Zhao Yutan decided to confide the news to Xie Zhan for two reasons: First, she knew the importance of foresight. She was about to marry into the Xie family and become the wife of the Xie family. Of course, she hoped that her husband, Xie Zhan, could use this news to make a good plan for the future. Thanks to the Zhao family for seeking benefits: secondly, they don’t want to be compared with Lu Songli.
During this period, Lu Songli's performance was outstanding. Although Zhao Yutan did not approve of Lu Songli's performance during this period, he only felt that she had done all the bad things.
But through her father, Zhao Yutan knew that people in the Xie clan had some complaints about her. She felt that because of her, the Xie clan lost Lu Songli, the wife of the young clan leader. Zhao Yutan felt very aggrieved. It was true that she had taken the initiative to create the opportunity, but if the Xie family had not acquiesced to the development of the matter, how could this result have happened?
But it doesn't matter, no matter how good Lu Songli is, so what? It’s not like I’m going to be exiled! It's coming soon. In a few months, Lu Songli will die with the Qin family!
Yes, Zhao Yutan already knew that Lu Songli was the one who bribed Yanzi and Taozi.
Everything Lu Songli did to her family's fourth son made her family's fourth son resentful and resentful of her and her family. How could he not distinguish between ourselves and our enemies? Zhao Yutan felt that Zhao Bin was wrong, but he hated Lu Songli for making Zhao Bin become like this. When they are really exiled, she must take action to seek justice for her brother!
Xie Zhan combined the information he collected and quickly concluded that the information Zhao Yutan just gave him should be true. There's at least an 80% chance it's true.
Xie Zhan was shocked. As the emperor and the courtiers, what benefits could the Xie family gain from it? By the way, who is the successor? Prince? No, the prince is in the north now, not in Chang'an. Currently, only the third prince and the fourth prince are in Chang'an.
Xie Zhan's mind was running at high speed, and he quickly realized that this was an opportunity. Would the Xie family want to gain the merit of being a dragon?
In an instant, Xie Zhan thought of many things. If the emperor dies, the prince... what will happen to the Qin family, what will happen to the Lu family?
Xie Zhan was hit by a series of chaotic thoughts. He couldn't help but take a cup of tea from the table and took a deep sip.
"How long do you think that person has left?" Xie Zhan took a deep breath, lowered his voice and asked Zhao Yutan, looking directly at her.
Zhao Yutan bit her lip and lowered her eyes, "Less than two months."
Less than two months... Less than two months... Xie Zhan murmured twice, and then came back to his senses.
Xie Zhan suppressed the excitement in his heart, held her green fingertips, and looked at her intently, "Yu Tan, thank you for informing me of this news. It helped me a lot,"
Zhao Yutan only felt that his eyes were full of affection, and heat rushed to his face unsatisfactorily, and his cheeks as white as snow were soon stained with crimson.
Xie Zhan returned to Xie's house and began to continuously summon people from Xie's faction.
Because the Xie family was planning a wedding, the whole house was very lively, and these people came and went inconspicuously.
For the next period of time, because everyone stopped their activities and concentrated on doing big things, no, it was weddings, the several families lived a peaceful life.
These four families were busy preparing for the wedding, but they had no idea how much trouble they had caused to many official families in Chang'an City by sending invitations one day after another. Their own faction's in-laws and those from the Qin Xie Qin Zhao faction, Qin Lu and Qin faction were all easy to deal with. The ones who were in trouble were the neutral factions who were not close to any of them, such as the Shaoqing of Taichang Temple.
Looking at the two bright red invitations, Mr. Li, the young minister of Taichang Temple, sighed.
"Dad, are you still worried about how to eat?" asked the youngest son of the Li family.
Mr. Li glared at him, "Is this a feast? This is taking sides!" Then he complained, "The Xie family doesn't care about others! They will do anything to embarrass your father!"
The youngest son of the Li family nodded, he was indeed in trouble. Originally, the Qin and Lu families had announced the wedding date and sent invitations, and they had already planned to attend. Immediately afterwards, their Xie family also released their wedding date. It was also scheduled for the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month. Can't it be moved forward or backward?
Now that it’s all right, the two families are working together. Whose house should I go to for a wedding banquet? So annoying!
"Mom and dad, can't you just go to the same house alone?"
"It stands to reason that it is okay. But, who will go to the Lu family or your mother or me to the Xie family?"
"Is this casual?"
"My child, you are still too young. Your father wants to be casual with you, but will that guy Lu Desheng be casual with you? I heard that Lu Desheng dotes on his little daughter. Believe it or not, if I go to Xie's house on the fifteenth day, you Mom goes to the Lu family and just waits to be fucked!"
The Qin family is more reasonable, but Qin Sheng is also the second son and the youngest child in their generation. This wedding is very important.
"But dad, Xie Zhan is the eldest son of the Xie family, and Zhao Yutan is also very favored in the Zhao family. If you go to the Lu family, won't the Xie family remember you?"
Ah, big head! I really wish I had a clone!
Suddenly, Mr. Li had an idea, "Yes! I'm sick! It's all right if your father and I get sick that day!" I won't go to any house, so that's alright, right?
"Then your eldest brother and your mother will go to the same house."
"Dad, which house will my eldest brother and mother go to?"
As soon as the Li family's youngest son asked this question, his wife and eldest son looked at him together.
Mr. Li: ...Ah! Let him die!
