There is no wall that is impenetrable. The news that Lou Jinchuan planned to ask the emperor to grant them a marriage soon reached the ears of the second prince Li Yanlin and Li Yancheng.
This was a big blow to Li Yancheng. He was jealous to the point of madness. He wanted to stop it but then he thought of Wei Changchang's words and Yan Xi's physical condition. He suddenly didn't know what to do. Jealousy, anger, all emotions disappeared.
At that moment, he felt extremely weak and had no interest in anything. He locked himself in the room for three days and three nights without eating or drinking.
When Li Yanlin learned about this, he couldn't stop laughing, not to mention how gloating it was. So he took the opportunity to make arrangements and prepared to deal a heavy blow to Li Yancheng.
Li Yancheng and his gang noticed something unusual and were like ants on a hot pan, running around in a panic. When they thought about their master who was still trapped in love at this time, their faces turned green and they all felt very disappointed with him.
The Minister of War, Lord Wu, who was in the lead, came on behalf of everyone and knocked on the door of Li Yancheng's room.
"Your Highness, I know you are in there, but I have something to say, but I'm not sure if I should say it or not."
Li Yancheng in the room didn't say anything. It was quiet and there was no sound.
"It's really inappropriate to bring matters of love to a head at this juncture. So what if General Wang asked for a marriage? If Your Highness were to take that position, wouldn't you have the final say on the matter? Besides, there are countless beauties in the world. By that time, Your Highness would have no problem choosing any beauty he wants."
There was still no movement inside.
Lord Wu took a deep breath and continued to persuade: "When the prince takes that position, he will post a notice seeking miracle doctors from all over the world. That way, the prince will not have to worry about no one being able to cure Lord He's illness."
As soon as he finished speaking, within a few moments, the door creaked and slowly opened, revealing a bearded face. The pair of eyes that were once sharp and beautiful were now bloodshot, and the man looked very decadent.
When Lord Wu saw him come out, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Your Majesty, you are finally willing to come out. Everyone is waiting for you to take charge of the situation and give orders.
At this critical moment, Your Highness, please do not disappoint everyone's expectations because of a momentary impulse. The Second Prince is a violent and ruthless person, and his hands have shed countless blood. Your Highness knows better than me whether he was involved in those corruption and bribery cases. If the Second Prince is allowed to sit in that position, only the people will suffer. The tyranny of the previous Song Emperor must not be repeated. Please reconsider your decision."
After saying this, Lord Wu pretended to kneel down.
Li Yancheng tried to stop him, his eyes moving but his face expressionless. "I understand. Tell them to wait. I'll be there shortly."
"Yes!" Lord Wu smiled with relief.
Li Yancheng looked at his departing back, his thoughts drifting away.
Yan Xi, since you like to serve the country and the people, and want these people to live and work in peace and prosperity, then I will help you fulfill this dream.
This is the only thing I can do for you.
Yan Xi...I hope you remember what you said to me and be with me in the next life.
I will always wait for you.
Until you deliver on your promise.
…
Li Yanlin was proud for only a few days before he was driven crazy by Li Yancheng and his group.
He really didn't expect that his so-called big brother would get over the despair of losing his sweetheart so quickly.
Since we are all heartless people, why bother pretending to be affectionate? !
But on second thought, Li Yanlin became even angrier.
Was Li Yancheng deliberately pretending to be listless to lure him into a trap?!
Or is he pretending to be strong in order to ascend the throne quickly and snatch He Yanxi away from General Wang?
No matter which one it is, Li Yanlin will not easily let go of the opportunity to cooperate with General Wang!
Thinking of this, Li Yanlin had no doubt that he was blocking Lou Jinchuan on his way back to the general's mansion.
"General Wang, this prince would like to invite you for a cup of tea. I wonder if General Wang would be willing to grant me this honor?" Li Yanlin looked at the young man in front of him with a half-smile.
Lou Jinchuan lowered his eyes and said with a bow, "The Second Prince has invited me. As a subject, how can I refuse?"
Upon hearing this, Li Yanlin admired his ability to understand the situation. He turned slightly and took him to a nearby teahouse.
The two of them sat on the floor, and the person next to them slowly made tea and then left the room.
Li Yanlin picked up the wine glass and said with a smile, "General Wang, this prince would like to offer you a glass of tea instead of wine."
Lou Jinchuan didn't move. "I wonder what important matter the Second Prince wants to discuss?"
Hearing this, Li Yanlin took a sip of tea, put it down, looked at him, and said with a smile, "This prince likes people who are straightforward. To be honest, this prince knows a little about the conversations between General Wang, He Yanxi, and this prince's eldest brother. I also know that this prince's eldest brother is deeply in love with Mr. He. It makes people sigh. What do you think he would do if he took that position?"
Lou Jinchuan looked at his hypocritical appearance, his eyes darkened, and he lowered his eyes, "So? What does the Second Prince want to say?"
"I won't beat around the bush. I've come here today to discuss cooperation with General Wang. I'm sure you're well aware of the situation between me and King Xiaoyao. If you lend me a hand, King Xiaoyao will completely lose the chance to snatch He Yanxi away from you. I will also grant you a marriage and announce it publicly to the world, so that no one will dare to say anything. What do you think, General Wang?"
