Chapter 56 Dagger (add more)
Was hunted down that day, and Yan Huisheng's guards were scattered by the killer along the way. He was protected by others until he was the only one left, and the two killers chased him closely. In fact, he had no strength at that time, and he was in the wilderness. He thought that he might have followed the intention of the people who wanted to kill him behind his back. Once he died, the emperor would not have to feel that he was a threat to him. I don't know if he would mourn for him.
Unexpectedly, he saw a woman fishing by the river. When the woman heard the movement and turned around, he thought that he might implicate her. If the killer behind him killed him, he would never let her as a witness.
He never imagined at the time that after the woman glanced at him, she suddenly withdrew the fishing net from the river. Just when the knives of the two killers were about to fall on him, she suddenly threw the fishing net at the two killers.
At that time, he had no strength left after killing someone, so he sat on the ground almost exhausted, thanked her, and said, "Thank you girl." I still remember that her face did not change at that time, as usual, and she said to him, "Is there any reward? As a thank you gift." The dagger looks fine to me."
He loved that dagger very much, but no matter how much he loved it, it was not as important as his life, so he pulled it out from his waist without hesitation and threw it to her.
She took the dagger, looked at it for a while, seemed very satisfied, and said with a pleasant smile in her voice, "Okay, I have received your reward, and it is worth saving my life. I'm leaving, you can do what you want!"
She left as soon as she said, but he was about to ask to stay, but when he realized that someone was coming again, he stopped, and immediately got up, and kicked her throwing away the unwanted fishing net and the two dead killers into the river, and quickly cleaned the blood on the ground.
In the blink of an eye, she had gone far away, but the person who came was his hidden guard, who said that it was not suitable to stay here for a long time, and told him to leave quickly, so he had no choice but to leave.
Therefore, it was not close at that time, and the sky was getting dark, even her face was a little blurred, but the memory of that time was deep. When he was at the end of the road and thought that there was no hope of survival, there was such a beautiful and smart woman, and it seemed that he was moved by it. It didn't seem strange.
The queen choked when she heard the words, and after a while, she spoke again, "If you protect the person the queen of Nanchu wants to kill, I'm afraid she will anger the queen of Nanchu and turn to support others. You know, the eldest, the second and even the fourth have ambitions."
"Queen of Southern Chu wanted to kill, why did she want to kill? There must be a reason. As the queen mother said, how much enmity has been separated by thousands of miles, and you tried to kill her in a roundabout way. Is it because she dared not send someone to Daliang to kill someone? Or is it that she has already killed someone before and cannot be killed? So, is there such a detour? You want to use your hands to get rid of people?" Yan asked back.
The queen pondered, "This needs to be checked."
"There is also the king of Nanchu, does he know that the queen is going to kill a girl thousands of miles away?" Yan echoed: "Queen, the queen of Nanchu is nothing to be afraid of. Even if she can persuade the king of Nanchu to support Gu, it is because the king of Nanchu has the heart to support Gu. If she offends her, if her opinion can really influence the king of Nanchu to support others, it is because the king of Nanchu has an opinion on Gu."
Even though the queen thought it was reasonable, she still had something to say, "What about Zhou Gu?"
Yan echoed silence.
The crown prince calmly said: "The empress thinks too much. With the current suppression of my father, he will definitely not let me marry a noble daughter to help me grow up. Maybe if it is her status, in the eyes of my father, it is just right."
The queen took a breath, and suddenly became nervous, "You really want to marry her? That child Zhou Gu has always treated you sincerely, how can you take his wife away!"
The prince was silent.
After a while, he said, "What if he doesn't want to marry?"
He looked at the queen, "If Zhou Gu doesn't want to marry, does the queen mother think that it's okay for the minister to marry her?"
The queen's complexion changed, and she restrained herself from asking, "Will Zhou Gu not want to marry? Since the old Duke sent Zhou Gu to Jiangning in person, it can be seen that he attaches great importance to the marriage contract he made since childhood. And since you can see a woman you like at a glance, how can Zhou Gu not like her?"
Yan Echo fell silent again.
The empress said in a deep voice: "Prince, you can't make mistakes, especially at such a critical time, how can the love between your sons and daughters reach your great cause? If you offend the Queen of Nanchu, and then provoke Zhou Gu's face, and then offend the Duke Protector's House, your position as the crown prince may not be stable."
Seeing that Yan Echo didn't speak, the queen spoke harshly, "You have always been self-restraining and respectful, standing upright, gentle and dignified, possessing both ability and political integrity, and everyone praises you. It is because of how much hard work you have put in since you were a child that you have this reputation. It is not easy to build a good reputation, but if you destroy it, it will only happen overnight. Once you destroy it, your crown prince will not be able to keep it. ?Since ancient times, you should have a better understanding of the princes who failed to ascend to the throne of God, if you read the history books, which one will end well? Don’t be confused!”
Yan echoed silently.
The empress softened her tone, "There are thousands of women in the world. You are the crown prince now, and you will be the king of a country in the future. Do you want any kind of woman? Why be obsessed with one person? What's more, how deep can you be in a relationship? Taking advantage of the short time now, if you give up, it's really not difficult. The mother believes that you can let go, and you have to think about the overall situation."
After she finished speaking, she was still unmoved when she saw Yan Huisheng, and said urgently, "Prince!"
Yan Huisheng finally opened his mouth, rubbing the center of his brows, and said helplessly: "I can promise my mother that if Zhou Gu wants to marry, I will not take him away. He and I have been friends since childhood, and I have been studying with him in the East Palace for a few years. I will be sincere and go to Jiangning County to congratulate my fiancée and Yanli. I will still help Gu to win talents. Gu is not a ruthless and cold-blooded person, and he insists on taking his wife."
The queen breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the words, "It's best if you think like this."
"But under the condition that my son doesn't interfere, if he doesn't marry, or if there is any change in their marriage contract, my son will take action." Yan Huisheng added, "At that time, I hope that the mother will not stop me. Tell the truth to the mother, you and the imperial father gave me the court ladies, I have not touched any of them, and I have no interest in them."
