Yun Buhui said, "People's daughters are not blessed enough. I owe you the wrong love of the prince, and I can't thank you enough. However, the people's daughter already has a husband. Because of the prince's great kindness, the people's daughter will work as a cow or a horse in the next life, and tie a ring with grass."
King Zhao stood with his hands behind his back and said calmly, "Things in this life have not been settled. It is meaningless to talk about the next life. I never talk about such long-term matters. The things in the next life will be dealt with in the next life. Let's clear it up first in this life."
Yun Buhui was in a dilemma, and King Zhao helped her up, "She is younger than I thought, more beautiful than I thought, and softer than I thought."
She was at a loss. King Zhao patted her shoulder and whispered meaningfully, "Prince Xuan's Crown Princess... you deserve a more distinguished title."
Yun Buhui frowned and paused, "King Zhao, I just want my family to be safe. Can't even this little wish satisfy me?"
"If you don't regret it, to change the dynasty, you must cut the grass and root out the roots. Otherwise, the wild fire will not be wiped out, and the spring breeze will blow again. I will have many troubles in the future, so I simply don't leave any troubles from the beginning." King Zhao said, "You are very smart, you should understand what I mean."
Yun Buhui bit his lip and suddenly said, "What if I am willing to follow you?"
King Zhao raised his eyebrows, "What do you mean, remarry me?"
Yun Buhui did not deny it. King Zhao gently brushed her hair and said, "I will not make such a deal with you, and you are not the material for such a deal. I don't want to marry a corpse, and I don't want to possess it in such a perverted way."
want."
Yun Buhui smiled bitterly, mocking himself a little, "Your Majesty, it's a joke, but Buhui overestimated himself."
"You are not overestimating." King Zhao said, "If you were not so important, you would not be the Crown Princess of Xuan today. Long before he married you, I had many ways to get you to marry me, even through coercion and inducement.
But falling in love with a man like me is not difficult. The relationship can be cultivated slowly without regrets. Don't underestimate yourself and don't get involved in this matter. I don't want to be your enemy one day."
"Your Majesty..."
"You and I have known each other for many years, mostly through letters. We haven't sat down to have a serious meal yet. Do you have time at Ruixinlou tomorrow?" King Zhao asked, changing the topic, as if he didn't want to mention anything else.
Yun Buhui smiled and said, "Your Majesty invited me, so I naturally have time. Buhui is afraid that you won't have time."
"I have an appointment with the beautiful lady, and I also have time." King Zhao said, patting her shoulder gently, Yun Buhui felt a little complicated.
Beitang Zhennan and Lin Wan'er saw them in the garden from a distance. When they got closer, they saw King Zhao and Yun Buhui so intimate. The two looked at each other with doubts in their hearts. King Zhao returned to his cold demeanor when he saw his master coming back.
When Beitang Zhennan met Lin Wan'er, King Zhao said, "Master, Madam, I have taken the liberty of visiting today. If I have offended you in any way, please forgive me."
"Your Majesty's words are serious, please go to the hall to discuss in detail." Beitang Zhennan said. King Zhao glanced at Yun Buhui and said, "Buhui, see you at noon tomorrow."
"Okay, see you there," Yun Buhui said.
Lin Wan'er suppressed her doubts and followed the Prime Minister to the hall.
Bingyue patted her chest, "I was scared to death. I didn't expect that King Zhao didn't force the young lady. I thought he would take the young lady away without saying a word."
"What are you thinking about?"
"Aren't you worried?" Bingyue said, "He looks really scary, much scarier than the Crown Prince."
"Your Majesty..." Yun Buhui thought of Cheng Mubai with a warm smile. She had to work harder at Prince Zhao, but she didn't know how feasible it was. At the very least, she could go to the prison to see the prince.
…
King Zhao came to the house with his cousin to apologize, but the prime minister couldn't say anything. The person he offended that day was Yun Buhui, not Lin Wan'er. Beitang Zhennan didn't care about this matter, but the two families had a grudge.
King Zhao didn't stay long. After apologizing and making amends, he took his cousin away.
As soon as he left, Beitang Zhennan and Lin Wan'er came to the backyard. Yun Buhui was waiting for them. She knew they would definitely come to her.
"You and King Zhao know each other?" Beitang Zhennan said, very displeased, "Not only do you know each other, but we have a close friendship. In that case, why are you going to all the trouble to get to Wan'er? Why not just go to King Zhao."
Lin Wan'er said, "Sister Buhui, how did you and King Zhao meet? Although I have only met him a few times, but every time I see him, he has the face of the King of Hell. He is so gentle to you that I... was surprised."
Yun Buhui said, "It's a long story..."
"Then let's make a long story short." Beitang Zhennan said, "I don't want my family to house a time bomb. Yun Buhui, you still have so many secrets that you haven't told us."
Yun Buhui raised his hand, "Master Xiang, don't be angry. I really didn't expect to meet him here. If I had known, I wouldn't have gone out today."
Beitang Zhennan sneered, "The sachets on your waists are almost the same color, the same style, the same embroidery method, and the same pattern. Don't tell me, it's just a coincidence. Maybe the Crown Princess can tell us that you and him went there
A romantic affair."
Bing Yue said angrily, "Master Prime Minister, please don't spit on others with blood, my young lady and King Zhao are innocent."
Yun Buhui pulled Bingyue, "I know the prime minister is very angry, but please believe me, this is the second time we have met King Zhao. He only found out today that I am Yun Buhui, Cheng Mubai's wife."
"Oh, it's so ambiguous and so unfamiliar. It seems that the Crown Princess really should explain it to the Crown Prince." Beitang Zhennan sneered, Yun Buhui pursed his lips, "If I say that all the money spent by King Zhao on recruiting troops and horses over the years has been mine.
If I provide it behind my back, I guess you will..."
Before she could finish speaking, Beitang Zhennan suddenly stood up and asked, "What did you say?"
Lin Wan'er was shocked by him. Beitang Zhennan said, "I checked King Zhao's account and I know that he receives a large amount of money every month from Yunyao Trading Company. We always thought that Yunyao
The trading house is the economic lifeline of King Zhao, and Mrs. Yunyao is the woman behind him. You shouldn't tell me that you are Mrs. Yunyao."
Yun Buhui nodded, "I am."
Beitang Zhennan burst out laughing while pointing at Yun Buhui and asked, "Yun Buhui, what role did you play in this process? You are Cheng Mubai's wife, and you may be the next queen, but you have failed in recent years.
Secretly helping King Zhao conquer the country and letting them fight to the death? What are you, a woman, thinking in your mind? What is your purpose? You say you have no affair with King Zhao, even if you don’t believe it."
Lin Wan'er was also surprised. This was really unbelievable. Has anyone ever seen their daughter-in-law team up with others to annex her family property? Unless this daughter-in-law has an affair with King Zhao, no matter how she explains it, it will be different.
"I..." Yun Buhui spread her hands. She had expected such a scene, but she didn't expect it to be so stiff. She said, "I only have a business partnership with King Zhao. He provided me with the capital to finance the business."
Jiangshan, I give him a fixed salary every month, which is reasonable and reasonable. Before I got acquainted with King Zhao and married Cheng Mubai, I didn’t expect that things would evolve to this point. I also didn’t expect that one day it would become like this.
The situation. He and I only have a business partnership. I keep my promise and provide him with money. As for what he wants to do, it is none of my business. I am only responsible for giving him the profit he deserves."
Beitang Zhennan was furious, "Do you know that without your support in the past few years and this large sum of money, King Zhao would not be in the situation he is in today."
"I know that all I wanted to do was take revenge. Princes with a foreign surname. I came to see King Zhao because he used to be under my father's command. My father praised him highly. He also came to my house. I hid in the garden and took a peek.
He, he respects his father very much. The old King Zhao was also involved in framing my father, but he died, and his crime was not as bad as that of King Zhao. I think if my identity is exposed in the future, King Zhao will not care about me because of our friendship.
, I could save my life. But I didn’t expect that I would marry Cheng Mubai, and I didn’t expect that the political situation would be so rigid." Yun Buhui said.
Beitang Zhennan sneered, "What a thoughtful Mrs. Yunyao, what a royal concubine who takes care of every step. You have planned everything, even your relationship and your future. Okay, you are really good at it."
.”
Yun Buhui said, "I don't think I did anything wrong. I want revenge. I want to protect myself. What's wrong with me? Please forgive me for telling the truth. The court is corrupt and officials protect each other. You are in the capital and I am prosperous in Fengcheng."
The city does not feel that the people's life is very difficult. If you go to any city in the north or south, no one will complain. The emperor is old, the prince is sick, and several princes are fighting for the throne, causing wars. What kind of life are the people living?
That position is meant for a capable person, so why bother with whether the surname is Cheng or Zhao."
"Oh my god, Buhui, stop talking." Lin Wan'er pulled Yun Buhui and covered her mouth, "If someone hears these treasonous words, you will be killed."
Beitang Zhennan said, "Prince Princess, your attitude has changed very quickly. Who told me that the Cheng family still has Cheng Mubai, Cheng Mudong and Cheng Youtian and will not perish. Now you come to tell me that there are capable people."
Juzhi? Once you meet King Zhao, do you think he is capable of managing this country?"
"I'm not talking about the situation. What I said a few days ago is because I want to save my family. I want to convince you that if my family can be safe and our life can return to the past, I don't care who becomes the emperor. These two
This idea is not contradictory, Mr. Xiang, I am just a woman, and I have always tried my best to protect my family with my best ability and wisdom." Yun Buhui said.
Lin Wan'er was a little moved. With both sides trying to persuade her, Beitang Zhennan looked at her and walked away. Lin Wan'er said, "Don't regret it, sister. Don't be sad. The prime minister is just like that. He just can't accept such a thing for a while. You should think about it."
What will happen next? Do you want to see him tomorrow?"
"See you, you must meet me." Yun Buhui said firmly.
