Yun Buhui said, "Okay, I will tell my sister soon that if you don't welcome me, Mr. Prime Minister, let me leave tomorrow."
Beitang Zhennan finally looked at Yun Buhui. His first impression was that this woman was very difficult to deal with. Yun Buhui's smile became gentler and innocent. Beitang Zhennan frowned and said coldly, "The matter of King Xuan"
, I can’t help you, and it’s useless for you to look for me. Now the entire court is in the hands of King Zhao and these princes with foreign surnames. I can’t help you with anything. Mrs. Cheng, please give up.”
"Then what can you do?"
"I can't do anything." Beitang Zhennan said. Yun Buhui joked, "I can't do anything. I was only a little over five years old when I left the capital. At that time, the prime minister had already made a name for himself in the capital. My father often mentioned
Your name says that you are an honest official and can distinguish right from wrong. I have always thought that the Prime Minister of the Southern Kingdom is an upright man. Now that the Southern Kingdom is in trouble, you can say nothing and can't do anything. It is really disappointing."
Beitang Zhennan was unmoved, "It's not necessarily that the Southern Kingdom is in trouble. No foreign enemies have invaded, and no one has invaded our borders. It's just that the Cheng family is in trouble. No matter who is the emperor of the Southern Kingdom, this is the world of the Southern Kingdom. What does it have to do with me?"
"
Yun Buhui said, "It is true that the Cheng family is in trouble. As you said, no foreign enemies have invaded and no one has invaded our borders. However, if there is a civil war, the people and money will be wasted. The prime minister has worked hard for many years in order for the people to live and work in peace and contentment. Seeing that all this has come to an end."
If it is going to be destroyed, will you just stand by and watch?"
"Young Madam, you haven't understood one thing yet. It's not that I'm just sitting idly by, but it's the general trend. The Cheng family's strength has been exhausted." Beitang Zhennan said coldly, "The prince is seriously ill and will die soon. Several princes are not good enough. The Southern Kingdom's
Sooner or later the world will fall into the hands of foreigners."
Yun Buhui pursed his lips, "The Cheng family also has Cheng Mubai, Cheng Youtian and Cheng Mudong."
Beitang Zhennan's cold face finally showed some other emotions, which could be said to be sarcastic, "It turns out that the young lady still has such great ambitions and wants to be the number one woman in the world."
Yun Buhui smiled, "It's not that I want to be the best woman in the world, but if power can save my family, I can only choose power. Now that King Xuan's family has been demoted to common people, I know it is not the emperor's intention, but Zhao Zhao's."
What the king means, this shows that King Zhao is still jealous of King Xuan’s children.”
"Young madam, I advise you to stop dreaming. No one will be the opponent of King Zhao, unless you can connect all the princes with foreign surnames, and unless you can break through the siege and kill King Zhao, provoke a melee, maybe there is a chance.
Vitality, otherwise... women have long hair, short knowledge, and empty talk will harm the country." Beitang Zhennan ridiculed him unceremoniously, and Yun Buhui thought to himself that Lin Wan'er's tender temperament might be able to tolerate him.
She wasn't angry either. Maybe she was having a whim, but now she just wanted to save her family. "You must have a way, right?"
Beitang Zhennan tapped his fingers on the table, and the regular sound made people feel a bit chilly. Beitang Zhennan said, "Let me guess, now that the young lady is in the capital, then, several young masters are also in the capital.
, where are they?"
Yun Buhui smiled bitterly, "I don't know where they are either."
"Young Madam, please rest assured that the truth will not kill everyone yet." Beitang Zhennan said coldly and humorously, but to Yun Buhui, this was not funny at all. She told the situation truthfully and emphasized again, "
I came to the capital alone, I know they are in the capital, but I don’t know where they are, maybe they are already in prison."
"Don't worry, King Xuan is being held in the Tianlao." Beitang Zhennan said coldly, carefully examining the woman in front of him. It is undeniable that she is brave, witty, and tactful. She climbed up to him as soon as she arrived in the capital.
Her wife showed how scheming and smart this woman was. He disliked women who were too smart, especially women with deep connections in the city, but it was admirable for a woman to travel all the way to the capital for the sake of a family.
Thinking of this, Beitang Zhennan's face became much better. Yun Buhui wanted to ask again. Lin Wan'er and Bichun came back, so she had to give up all thoughts and finish the meal quietly. At least she got a piece of news, Cheng Mubai and
Cheng Youtian and Cheng Mudong are safe.
Lin Wan'er sensitively felt that something was wrong in the atmosphere and asked them what was wrong. Yun Buhui smiled and shook his head, and Beitang Zhennan gave her a warm smile in return.
After dinner, Beitang Zhennan and Lin Wan'er returned to the main residence. Lin Wan'er said, "Husband, are you sorry for the embarrassment?"
"No."
"Really do not have?"
"No!" Beitang Zhennan said, "Her temperament is good if she doesn't embarrass others, and others can embarrass her."
"What kind of temperament does she have?" Lin Wan'er asked jokingly.
Beitang Zhennan said rudely, "She is scheming, tactful and clever, and decisive and ruthless."
"The daughter of a general, you can say that women are better than men." Lin Wan'er said with a smile, serving Beitang Zhennan to change clothes and rest. Beitang Zhennan said, "Do you know who she is?"
"Yun Buhui, the daughter of General Yun."
"She is also the wife and concubine of Crown Prince Xuan." Beitang Zhennan did not hide anything. He said, "You should know very well what she wants to do. Do you think she is suitable to stay in the mansion?"
Lin Wan'er was slightly surprised. Until the couple went to bed and fell asleep hugging each other, Lin Wan'er didn't say a word.
She can't sleep tonight either.
"Husband, are you asleep?" she asked softly.
Beitang Zhennan hummed, indicating that he was not asleep. Lin Wan'er said, "I want to tell you something."
"I know the Yun family is kind to you." Beitang Zhennan said, "I feel guilty for never telling you about Yun Buhui's situation in Fengcheng. I apologize."
"I didn't mean to say this." Lin Wan'er couldn't laugh or cry, she said, "I went to the teahouse that day and listened to a storyteller telling a story. He alluded to King Zhao's rebellion and conspiracy, saying that he would definitely not have a good outcome in the end. This made me very happy.
He always felt relieved. But he also said that the most powerful Prime Minister watched the traitor plot and did nothing. He must have conspired with King Zhao. I want to scold him for talking nonsense and ruining your reputation.
But I saw that the people listening to the book next to me were all nodding and agreeing with what he said. It was wrong for them to scold my husband together. I was very sad to hear that. I knew that this was not the case. My husband had been loyal to the Southern Kingdom all his life. How could he conspire with King Zhao?
But people who don’t know the truth always say bad things about you, which makes me really sad.”
"Wan'er, do you know what happened to the storyteller?" Beitang Zhennan's business didn't feel sleepy at all.
Lin Wan'er shook her head, and Beitang Zhennan uttered four words, "Five horses divided the body."
Lin Wan'er's whole body was cold, as if something was strangling her throat. Beitang Zhennan hugged her tightly and said softly, "Don't go to places like that in the future."
She cried silently.
The next morning, Beitang Zhennan went to court very early. Lin Wan'er came over to invite her to have breakfast with her. Yun Buhui was mentally prepared to leave. She thought that Beitang Zhennan must have told Lin Wan'er her identity.
But Lin Wan'er didn't mean to let her leave. Instead, she asked her if she was used to living there and if she still needed anything. If she needed anything, just tell Bichun. Judging from her attitude, it seemed that she wanted to let her stay for a long time.
Yun Buhui was puzzled. With Beitang Zhennan's temperament, it was impossible to let her have her way. Didn't he tell Lin Wan'er?
Lin Wan'er said, "I know you are wondering. My husband and I talked for a long time last night. I am a woman, and I only ask about the affairs of the court. If it had been anyone else, I would have let her go today. If it were you, you
Just stay in the Prime Minister's Mansion, but let me say it first, if you want your husband to agree to it, you have to rely on your own ability, I can't help you."
"Sister Wan, you..." Yun Buhui was a little surprised by such a solution, "Why do you want to help me like this?"
"It's just repaying the favor." Lin Wan'er said. Yun Bugui didn't understand. She didn't mention the past, but said another thing, "I'm not just helping you. I've met King Zhao, and I always felt that he was too gloomy and cruel.
One year, I attended the birthday of King Zhao with the Prime Minister. It was very cold that year and it was snowing heavily. Dancers danced to cheer for the occasion. Because it was too cold, one of the dancers danced the wrong steps. King Zhao was displeased and had the girl chopped off on the spot.
Woman, I was frightened. The three-month-old baby in the house was also lost because of this. I have been sick and severely damaged after the miscarriage. The doctor said that the chance of getting pregnant is not high. Because of this, my husband and King Zhao formed a quarrel, so King Zhao
Several times he came to visit him, but he turned him away and was unwilling to conspire with King Zhao. The Prime Minister has worked for the Southern Kingdom for more than 20 years and is loyal to the Cheng family. If he can save the Cheng family, he will also save the Prime Minister himself.
, if the world of the Cheng family cannot be saved, and King Zhao one day ascends the throne, he will be suspicious and thoughtful, and will retaliate, and the Beitang family will not be able to save it. Besides, I heard a storyteller in a teahouse a few days ago talking about the situation in the world, saying that King Zhao held the emperor hostage.
I ordered the princes to scold the prime minister for his inaction and for plotting with rebellious people. I felt very uncomfortable after hearing this."
Yun Buhui held Lin Wan'er's hand and said, "No matter what, Sister Wan, thank you, I really appreciate you."
Lin Wan'er smiled slightly and said, "No need to thank me, I also hope that the world will be peaceful and that the prime minister can do what he wants to do."
“Beitang Zhennan is so lucky.”
"The prince is also very lucky to have a wife like you. I don't have the guts to travel across mountains and rivers to the place of my own pain for my husband." Lin Wan'er said, feeling more and more fond of Yun Buhui, and truly admired this little girl.
A ten year old girl.
Yun Buhui looked shy, and Lin Wan'er said, "These things cannot be changed overnight. You just have to live in the Prime Minister's Mansion with peace of mind. You haven't returned to the capital for so many years, and you have such heavy worries. You must not have seen the capital well."
, how about I take you to have a look? Maybe I can meet your husband."
