Prince Zheng was sitting in the study, looking at the map on the wall, frowning, "I should have known a long time ago that no one can rely on anyone except myself for matters in this world." These aristocratic families were all just outsiders. He originally thought that
, how much the family can hold on for a little longer, who knows, it will collapse so quickly, it is said that the sky will change.
And that Feng Hai, he still doesn’t know what this old guy means. If he had really tried his best, Jinling would not have fallen so quickly.
His original plan was very good. He went to sea from the southwest, resupplied on the Wang family's island, and then landed directly from Tanggu Port, heading towards the capital. But this shipbuilding required time, and there was plenty of time.
He needs someone to hold down that Yin Silang.
"Time is also destiny." King Zheng sat down dejectedly and asked in a loud voice: "Where is Mr. Ziyu?"
The attendant outside whispered: "I've already sent someone to invite you. I think they'll be here soon."
King Zheng gave a faint 'hmm'. What matters now is how to temporarily stabilize the southwest. Find a way to delay it for another half year. As long as it takes half a year, he still has a chance.
The door was gently pushed open, bringing in a breath of damp wind.
King Zheng turned his head, and when he saw the person coming in, the anxious and angry expression on his face slowly subsided, and his expression suddenly softened.
"Panpan, why are you here?" Prince Zheng stood up and took Panpan's hand, "Why are your hands so cold? Remember to wrap up your cloak when you go to the garden."
Panpan's expression moved slightly, "It's okay! When the wind blows, I feel more awake."
King Zheng smiled: "You, there is really nothing I can do about you."
The little eunuch came in and served hot tea. Seeing Prince Zheng's gentle face, he was already used to it.
Panpan glanced at the map on the wall and asked, "But are you worried again?"
King Zheng put his hand behind Panpan's wind-blown hair behind his ears, "I am with you in everything, and I can always keep you safe no matter what time."
Panpan's eyes were red.
King Zheng whispered: "You are still blaming me for your sister's matter?"
Panpan's mouth moved, but she didn't speak.
Prince Zheng whispered: "Keeping her will only make you sad."
Panpan's heart felt even more painful.
The matter between the prince and his sister is neither the prince nor the sister's fault. This is the Lord's punishment for his disobedience. When she got up early that morning, her sister appeared on the prince's bed, causing the moment of male and female that she had constructed in her heart to disappear.
Hit to pieces.
She is just a dancer, but she wants too much.
But when the prince sent his sister out, it seemed that he followed Mr. Ziyu's advice, but it was really because of himself.
There are many beauties, and my sister is just one of them. She is not the only one.
Panpan took a deep breath: "I just thought about the destruction of Jinling City, but I didn't know about the child..."
This is the child Pan'er gave birth to.
King Zheng shook his head indifferently: "Everyone has his own destiny." He touched Panpan's belly, "When it stabilizes, I will find a good doctor for you. We will eventually have a child of our own."
.”
Panpan's tears fell all of a sudden, and she threw herself on Prince Zheng: "I'm a humble concubine. Your Majesty is not worthy of me..."
"Silly words!" King Zheng stroked Panpan's hair with his hand, "I am now middle-aged. It is my blessing to meet Panpan."
Panpan's hands clenched into fists. Even if she was just one of the beauties collected by him, she was still the most cherished one. He gave her the most appropriate placement, and she would no longer be homeless or suffer any more hardships. She was entangled.
The vines on his body. Now, if I have to cut off the branches that I am attached to with my own hands, where can I go to attach myself to them?
In the room, the two people hugged each other tightly, but a call came from outside the door: "Your Majesty, Mr. Ziyu is here."
King Zheng helped Panpan up, wiped her tears, and coaxed in a low voice: "Be good! Go back and play by yourself first. I will deal with some trivial matters and go back to accompany you, okay?"
Panpan forced a smile, nodded, blessed herself, turned around and walked out.
On the way out, I passed by a young man in his twenties. Their eyes immediately separated.
Panpan returned to the house and sat quietly by herself, afraid that others would notice something strange, so she didn't even dare to shed tears.
The sky gradually darkened, and the girl outside the door came in and reported: "Your Majesty, please invite the girl to come over."
Panpan woke up with a start and smiled unnaturally: "Yes, it's already dinner time. Who is accompanying the prince?"
"It's Mr. Ziyu." The girl replied with a smile.
Panpan froze for a moment, then nodded and walked towards the dressing table. She rearranged her makeup, took out a tortoiseshell nail polish from under the box, and carefully put it on her little finger.
"Why are you wearing this, girl?" The girl glanced at it and said with a smile, "Few girls from our Han family wear this."
Panpan explained with a confused expression: "My fingernail was broken, so I thought of taking this gadget out..."
The girl suddenly realized, "It's okay! Girls are beautiful in everything they do."
Pretty?
Sometimes she would rather not have this beauty. Not beautiful, she could live a normal life instead of being like this.
Thinking this, a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes.
The dinner was served in a pavilion in the middle of the lake.
This makes Panpan's heart sink little by little. Only one side of this place is connected to the shore. If something happens on the lake, rescue will be too late.
Is this because someone is worried about themselves and wants to take matters into their own hands?
In the pavilion, Prince Zheng and Mr. Ziyu sat opposite each other. Panpan came in and greeted them.
She did not look at Mr. Ziyu, but looked at Prince Zheng: "Why did you choose to eat here? Rather than in the pavilion, it is better to be on the painting boat. Let's swim around the lake and eat at the same time."
Mr. Ziyu glanced at Panpan with a smile. He didn't know if the woman just said it casually or on purpose. After all, he was not good at water.
King Zheng glanced at Mr. Ziyu and said with a smile: "You are naughty again. Mr. Ziyu is seasick. When you get on the boat, why don't you let Mr. Ziyu eat?"
Panpan pursed her lips slightly and said unnaturally to Mr. Ziyu: "Forgive me, sir, it's just a joke."
Mr. Ziyu shook the folding fan in his hand and waved his hand: "You are so polite, girl."
King Zheng glanced at the two of them vaguely, smiled casually, and pulled Panpan to sit next to him. "We are not outsiders. There is no need to be so polite. Sit down."
When the food and wine were served, King Zheng raised his wine glass and smiled at Mr. Ziyu: "Sir, I think I am treating you well, but Mr. Zheng's heart is still not with me."
The words came out suddenly, making both of them stunned. Mr. Ziyu's expression changed and he said: "Why did the prince say this?"
King Zheng held up the cup: "Who revealed to Wang Pingyao my intention to use troops on the island built by the Wang family? Why? Didn't Mr. Ziyu plot to take my life?"
Mr. Ziyu's face suddenly turned ugly, his expression changed several times, and then he said: "So the prince knows everything?"
"Humph!" King Zheng chuckled: "The Wang family has always been so shameless. This is because they know that they have no power to stop me from annexing the island, so I want to strike first. While fooling Yin Silang, I also eliminated this king as my opponent.
The person the island covets, isn’t it?”
Mr. Ziyu shook his head: "Prince Zheng is indeed Prince Zheng. No wonder the head of the family said, don't underestimate the prince. The prince can be regarded as a momentary hero. If it is another six months later, the prince will follow the sea road all the way north, whether it is Jinling or the capital.
, nothing can stop the prince. Your prince, time is your destiny, you can’t force it at all!"
I said this with a bit of regret and a bit of schadenfreude.
King Zheng laughed: "But have you ever thought that I still have a way out?"
Mr. Ziyu's expression changed: "You are...you want to..."
"That's right! I am fully capable of taking over the Wang family's island now. I will slowly make plans later." King Zheng smiled, "What? Didn't Mr. Ziyu think of it?"
As he spoke, he clapped his hands, and a pair of strong guards jumped up from the bottom of the pavilion. In an instant, a knife was placed on Mr. Ziyu's neck.
Immediately afterwards, a small boat was drawn out from under the pavilion.
King Zheng pulled Panpan, who was already stiff, "Don't you want to take a boat trip on the lake? Let's go, together!"
When Panpan sat on the swaying boat, she still didn't react. She saw the boat rowing along the lake in the garden all the way to the outlet. When it reached the outlet gate, the lower half of the wall suddenly shrank up.
Her head was pressed down, and then the boat passed under the wall.
"This is..." Panpan turned around and saw that the wall had returned to its original appearance. She always thought that the Wanchun Garden was built for herself, but it turned out not to be! It turned out that this was his escape route. "Your Majesty, since
Wang family...you already know, why are you leaving? We still have Southwest..."
"Silly girl!" King Zheng looked at Wanchun Garden behind him, "This southwest is our southwest, but before Yin Silang sends troops, we must first collect the Wang family's islands. Only in this way can we truly have it.
Escape!"
Panpan grabbed Prince Zheng and said, "Your Majesty can send people there, but you can't take risks easily! Besides, since the Wang family wants to kill you, you are safest only in Wanchun Garden."
King Zheng looked at Panpan and couldn't help but laugh: "You... worked for others, but they didn't tell you anything. Don't you know that there is a secret tunnel dug by the Wang family under the Wanchun Garden? Let's discuss it.
If it's not safe, then there is the most unsafe place. The Wang family will always be like a ground mouse, unable to see the light of day."
Panpan's expression changed: "Oh no! Your Majesty! Since there is a secret passage, the secret door by the lake cannot be hidden from others. If we come out, others will not expect it..."
"Miss Panpan still understands!"
This sound made King Zheng and Panpan jump. They couldn't help but look at the boatman who was speaking, and their expressions changed.
