C104 Unforgettable (2/2)
”You rescinded the marriage of Princess Wan Wan, insulted the imperial family, and now you have reneged on your promise, you are committing treason to the Sovereign.”
”This lowly general knows his wrongs. Even if I have committed an extreme crime, I will not change my mind in the slightest.”
Xu Caizhi had originally used the Emperor's hint to persuade Yue Pengju to give up on his own accord, and said. As a man who had made a name for himself, why should he not worry about beauties? Why would you give up your great future for a woman? As long as you give up on Hua Rong, according to your military merits, you can immediately rise to a fourth rank official. ”
Yue Pengju did not wait for him to finish, and immediately interrupted him: ”Master Xu does not need to speak anymore, no matter how weak this humble general is, I will not exchange my wife for wealth and glory …”
He had known the two for many years, and knew their natures. Hearing Yue Pengju's words, he felt ashamed, and poured himself a large cup of wine, downed it in one gulp, then sighed: ”Pengju, I can't help you, you better take care of yourself.”
”Thank you, Master Xu.”
”You have to be careful in everything you do. Pengju, even if you don't care about yourself, you still have to care about your sister's safety.”
Yue Pengju's heart trembled, ”This general will take care of it.”
Ying Tian Palace.
Yesterday's Ninth Prince, today's Emperor's Shangguan Family, Zhao Deji, officially took over this place.
That evening, Zhao Deji had just finished preparing a set of memorials, and when he raised his head, he saw Kanggong rushing in.
”Your Majesty, this servant has already visited the Miss Hua's residence several times. Every time, Yue Pengju was not there.”
”Very good.”
”What did Yue Pengju say?”
Xu Caizhi didn't dare to not answer and only braced himself. ”Yue Pengju and Hua Rong have long been married, it's really …”
Zhao Deji shouted in fury, ”He is just a lowly general, how dare he insult your highness in public again and again?”
”Please calm your anger, Your Majesty.” ”As I see it …”
”What is it?”
Xu Caizhi mustered up his courage: ”In my humble opinion, now is the time to use others. Why not Shangguan Family help Yue Pengju and Hua Rong?
Zhao Deji was upset, he had thought of this before, but after becoming the new ruler, to be able to experience the joy of being able to control life and death, to be challenged like this, how could he be willing to let it go?
”Let's put this matter aside for now. All of you can leave for now.”
”Yes.”
Seeing that he was distracted, the Kanggong took the lead and said: ”Shangguan Family, Yue Pengju listens to Zong Ze the most. Zong Ze is his teacher, and now that Zong Ze is here, why not let him give it a try?”
Zhao Deji was furious: ”This slave does not look down upon you.”
Kanggong immediately realized he said the wrong thing and kneeled down. Zhao Deji had always been somewhat fearful of Zong Ze, but now that he had ascended the throne, he was forced to step in and ”persuade” Yue Pengju to give up his wife. Thus, not only could he not allow Zong Ze to persuade him, he even more so could not let Zong Ze find out about the rumors. Kanggong had always been aware of His Majesty's intentions, but this time, he was anxious to make a meritorious service.
”Useless lackey, don't leak the slightest bit of information.”
”This servant knows.”
”Get out.”
Kanggong and the rest quickly retreated.
Zhao Deji walked out of the study and saw Wu Jinnu standing at the door.
He secretly hated Wu Jinnu for her incompetence. If he had set an order first, how could Yue Pengju have the chance to publicly declare that he and Hua Rong had already become husband and wife? He didn't really like Wu Jinnu to begin with, but now, he felt even more disgusted. He looked at her for a bit before turning around to leave.
These few days, Shangguan Family was at Zhang Yingying's place every single day. Seeing that she was gradually falling into the cold palace's danger, she thought of a plan to save the situation.
Seeing that she had been following him from the start, Zhao Deji felt disgusted and asked coldly: What do you want?
”Seeing that Shangguan Family has been working hard all day, chenqie prepared a table of wine and invited him to have a drink.”
”No need, I'm going to Pan Fei's.”
Just as he was about to leave, he saw a beautiful woman wearing a light veil. Under the gradually descending night, her beauty seemed as ethereal as a fairy.
”This is?”
”Liu Yuezhu. She is also the younger sister of the personal guard and the ruler of Liu Zhengyan. ”
Liu Yuezhu and Zhang Yingying had come together, but they were not from the same faction. Ever since they had arrived, Zhao Deji had not noticed her.
The personal guard led Liu Zhengyan and was sent by Ying Tian Palace Yin after Zhao Deji came to the Ying Tian. However, Zhao Deji had always trusted Xu Caizhi, Wu Zhan and the others, so he did not place much importance on Liu Zhengyan.
Now, it was because of her sister Liu Yuezhu that he thought of such a person. With a ”Oh”, he saw that Liu Yuezhu's eyes were flowing, her waist was soft, and although her beauty was inferior to Zhang Yingying's, she had a unique beauty unique to a virgin. Wu Jinnu observed the situation and replied respectfully: ”Shangguan Family, please.”
Zhao Deji followed the two into the cave and sat down. Wu Jinnu tactfully sat at the side and snuggled up to him.
Zhao Deji embraced her and drank a few cups of wine. His entire body became hot as he stared at Liu Yuezhu's beautiful face and sighed.
Wu Jinnu knew that he could not forget about ”her”, and laughed: ”Shangguan Family, is Little Sister Liu not good enough?”
”Good indeed, but in the end, it's still difficult to get used to.”
”Actually, 'she' was not as good as Shangguan Family had imagined …”
Zhao Deji saw that she wanted to say something, but hesitated, and said angrily: ”What do you want to say?”
