Yan'er, Cui'er and Yinggu lit up the lanterns, which were as bright as pearls.
Chen Danzhu was sitting on the porch, shaking the fan lightly in his hand.
"Chen Danzhu, what on earth is going on?" Zhou Xuan stood in the corridor, blocking the flickering lights, frowning and asking, then leaned over and lowered his voice, "I can tell you such a big secret, but you don't even know why you are unhappy.
Can't you tell me?"
Chen Danzhu looked at him: "It's sad, I don't want to say it and make you sad too."
Zhou Xuan looked at her suspiciously and asked, "Really? Are you worried that I will be sad?"
The girl under the lamp smiled: "Of course it's fake."
Zhou Xuan sneered: "Chen Danzhu, you said this, don't blame me for taking it seriously -"
After he finished speaking, he saw the girl's eyes were filled with concern, and she sighed faintly: "Master Zhou, don't be angry. I'm a little unhappy, so I'm talking nonsense."
This appearance is probably just a show, Zhou Xuan thought to himself, but he couldn't help but soften his expression and voice: "What on earth is going on?"
Chen Danzhu motioned him to sit down and whispered: "It's a long story. It's an old story in my family. You know my brother-in-law Li Liang, right?"
When the war started, he was responsible for leading the troops in the Zhou Kingdom and did not know much about the Wu Kingdom. However, now of course he knows everything about Chen Danzhu. It is well known how she welcomed the emperor into Wu.
And the unknown fact that they like to eat raw radishes rather than cooked ones.
"What happened to him?" Zhou Xuan frowned, "He has been dead for so long."
Chen Danzhu said: "He belongs to the prince."
Zhou Xuan understood and understood what the prince wanted to do.
"It stands to reason that since he is a dead man, the prince will not covet the credit," he said.
Chen Danzhu said: "Because there is another living person, Miss Yao Fu and Yao Si, do you recognize her?"
Zhou Xuan thought for a moment: "I've seen it before. Miss Yao Si must have a close relationship with Li Liang."
Chen Danzhu said: "She is the beauty used by the prince to lure Li Liang to surrender. Li Liang raised her in his outer house and gave birth to a child."
Zhou Xuan said that he understood: "Men are nothing more than power and sex. Li Liang is useful and can add some credit to the prince, but what is more useful is this living Yao Fu, not to mention that this woman can remind the emperor and the world that she is still alive."
His achievements, and moreover, if this woman can capture one Li Liang, she can naturally capture more people for the prince——"
He talked so much, but the girl didn't look at him with bright eyes and admiration. Instead, she held a fan and flicked a moth.
"Chen Danzhu!" Zhou Xuan shouted angrily, "Did you hear what I said?"
Chen Danzhu said in a low voice: "Listen, what the prince wants has nothing to do with me. I just want to prevent my enemy from becoming a hero of the court."
Zhou Xuan stretched out his hand to pinch the moth around the lamp, sat down, and stuffed it into Chen Danzhu's hand: "Then it's not easy to deal with now. Since the prince has spoken, your majesty will definitely not reject it. You should kill this woman earlier, just
Just like killing Li Liang."
Chen Danzhu looked at the moth in his hand: "I want to do it too, but this woman is hiding next to the prince, so how can I stand a chance."
Zhou Xuan touched his chin: "She is with the prince, so it's hard for me to do anything, but when she comes out, it will be easy." He bumped Chen Danzhu with his arm, "Don't be sad, this is
Leave it to me."
Chen Danzhu glared at him: "Don't act recklessly. If you kill her, it won't be as simple as another fifty strokes."
Zhou Xuan smiled: "Are you afraid that I will come to your place to recover from my injuries again?"
Chen Danzhu said in a deep voice: "I'm afraid that you will cause trouble for me. The reason why I want to kill my enemy is so that I and my family can live well, not to die with her, but to stick to my whole family for her alone."
His life is not worth it."
Zhou Xuan also had a stern face: "I know, I won't cause trouble for you."
Chen Danzhu softened his expression and said softly: "Don't cause any trouble to you, Zhou Xuan, we all need to live well."
Zhou Xuan snorted, thought for a while and said softly: "Anyway, don't be afraid, and don't be too sad. Since we can live, this kind of thing is inevitable."
Chen Danzhu loosened his two fingers, and the moth he held flew up.
Zhou Xuan looked at the moth disappearing into the night, smiled, and stood up: "Then I'm leaving."
Chen Danzhu said thank you.
Zhou Xuan lowered his head and looked at her: "You're welcome. Next time, when you miss me again, don't just look at me and leave." After that, he strode away.
What are you thinking? Chen Danzhu said hurriedly: "That's not what I was thinking at that time. Don't think too much about it."
Zhou Xuan didn't look back, climbed over the wall, and jumped into the night with a smile on his face.
Quietness returned to the small courtyard. Chen Danzhu was sitting on the porch gently waving her fan. The mountain breeze blew and the lights flickered on her face.
At this time, the emperor reluctantly walked out of the main hall of the palace and looked at the iron-faced general sitting at the table under the lights.
"Old minister——" The veteran in gray robe leaned over.
Before he finished speaking, the emperor interrupted impatiently: "Okay, okay, what are you doing here again? I'm busy. Is there anything I can't talk about tomorrow?"
The iron-faced general first said that the minister was guilty, and then asked: "What is your majesty busy with? Is it because the prince asked for credit for Li Liang?"
Sure enough - the emperor suppressed his twitching brows and said in a deep voice: "How did the general know? This is a palace whisper, not a court meeting."
The crime of spying on the palace is not a small crime. Eunuch Jinzhong held his breath and kept silent, especially the identity of the iron-faced general——
The iron-faced general showed no fear at all: "The third prince learned about it and went to see Chen Danzhu, so the old minister also knew about it."
Eunuch Jinzhong had already reported what the third prince knew to the emperor. The emperor also knew that the third prince immediately left the palace to see Chen Danzhu. So when Chen Danzhu knew about it, he immediately went to cry for help to his adoptive father, and the adoptive father also immediately
Came here to plead for an explanation for the adopted daughter?
When he heard that the Iron-faced General asked for an audience, the emperor had a vague inference in his mind, so he delayed the meeting. The Iron-faced General just refused to leave. Sure enough, that was why he came!
"What do you want?" the emperor asked angrily.
The iron-faced general said simply: "I object."
"Nonsense!" the emperor shouted, lowering his voice again, "You, I warn you, stop it in moderation, don't go too far, you are really raising me as your daughter."
The iron-faced general said: "Your Majesty, I am not doing it for Chen Danzhu, I am doing it for myself."
Why for yourself? The emperor frowned.
"The prince is asking for credit for Li Liang." The iron-faced general said in a calm voice, "That is to compete with the old minister for credit. The old minister will naturally object."
Competing for credit?
The emperor thought for a while and realized that although Wu Di was captured without fighting, the credit should go to the Iron-faced General.
Now that the prince has moved out of Li Liang, he wants to share the credit from here, which is to steal the credit from the iron-faced general.
Of course he refused——
The emperor softened his expression and said: "There is no need to worry about this. The prince's meritorious service will not affect the general's meritorious service."
The iron-faced general said: "Your Majesty, this must have an impact. Chen Danzhu was conquered by the old minister. Now the prince says that Li Liang has merit. Li Liang came first and then Chen Danzhu. The merit of the old minister also belongs to the prince."
These words were even more inappropriate. Eunuch Jinzhong lowered his head, and he heard the emperor remain silent for a moment, and then said in a deep voice: "The world belongs to me, so if you say so, your contribution has nothing to do with me?"
