Xie Mingyue saw his expression and his disgust. She almost laughed to death in her heart. But she had to pretend to be heartbroken on the surface.
I almost got internal injuries.
In order to perform the role well, she looked eagerly at the eldest grandson of the Emperor Huang who had already arrived next to her.
The eldest grandson of the emperor was stared at by her, and his scalp was about to explode. If it weren't for his last bit of self-restraint, he would have wanted to have Xie Mingyue thrown out.
Thinking of the mole at the corner of his mouth makes me feel sick and want to vomit.
Back then, when he was still a child, he accidentally saw that his father, the crown prince, actually had a male lover.
My father and his male lover were having sex.
The male favorite had a black mole at the corner of his mouth.
My father hugged the man and said dirty words. He said he loved the black mole on the corner of his mouth. He sucked it hard with his mouth.
At that time, he felt that his worldview was shattered. He turned around and vomited. Since then, he hated people with black moles on the corners of their mouths the most.
Seeing it reminds me of the past.
Xie Mingyue was still feeling very proud of herself, thinking that this move of hers was really brilliant.
In fact, she didn't want to marry the emperor's grandson, nor did she want to enter the palace as a concubine in the future. She secretly told her brother Xie Mingjue about this.
Xie Mingjue turned around and told her parents. Only then did she realize that her parents didn't want her to marry into the palace. They just wanted her to find an ordinary person who understood her and lived a stable life.
In order to avoid entering the palace, they thought of many ways.
Finally, I don’t know where my brother found out the privacy of the emperor’s eldest grandson.
I know that the emperor’s eldest grandson hates people with moles on the corners of their mouths the most.
So she took advantage of this and made the emperor's grandson dislike her and even not want to see her.
The eldest grandson of the emperor was inspired by Xie Mingyue. He stopped procrastinating and quickly selected the candidate for the main wife.
I guess he's giving up on himself.
Not only did he choose a principal wife, he also chose two concubines.
The principal wife was the daughter of a fourth-rank official, surnamed Chen. The fathers of the two concubines were both fifth-rank officials, one surnamed Ting and the other surnamed Jin.
They are all unknown families. Fortunately, they are all clean.
The old emperor had no objection. On the contrary, he thought it was good. He would not be constrained by the Yue family in the future. The prince also had no objection. Originally, he did not have much affection for this son.
Those who were chosen were very happy, while those who were not chosen were very depressed.
But this matter was over quickly.
After the concubine selection banquet was over, Concubine Lin went to visit Hua Wanru with many gifts.
At night, before the palace gates were locked, Princess Xinrong arranged for him to be sent out of the palace.
…
On the other side, Hua Changjue and Yu Jinzhi had already arrived at Yuenan Prefecture, which was also the nearest prefecture to Linjiang Prefecture where Zhang Meng was.
To the north of Yuenan Prefecture is a mountain range known as the Black Wind Mountains.
The Black Wind Mountains were covered in dense forests, full of ferocious beasts, snakes and insects, and it was easy to get lost. Even the hunters who hunted the sea did not dare to go in easily.
Li Zhan and his men's stronghold was located in this mountain range, and was known as the Black Wind Stronghold.
This place is easy to defend but difficult to attack. This is why Zhang Meng did not forcibly lead his troops to attack.
If Zhang Fengjin hadn't told them how to get there in advance, Hua Changjue and the others probably wouldn't have been able to get into the mountain.
Hua Changjue only brought Yu Jinzhi with him, and asked the others to wait there. Then they followed the route and spent most of the day, and finally reached the top of the mountain at dusk.
At this time, their clothes were torn in many places. Both of them looked a little embarrassed.
When we reached the mountain top plain, we walked a hundred meters forward and turned a corner before we saw a wooden wall and gate several meters high.
Hua Changjue and Yu Jinzhi both breathed a sigh of relief.
There were sentries on both sides of the wooden gate. They soon spotted the two of them. A quick bell rang.
The door opened heavily, and I found many people gathered inside.
There were many big and strong men inside, and some heroic women standing next to them.
The one who cannot be ignored is the one in the middle, tall and thin, dressed in tight clothes, with sharp eyes, dressed like a knight.
Hua Changjue knew. This must be Li Zhan.
In fact, he had seen Li Zhan when he was a child. At that time, Li Zhan was about seven or eight years old, fair and clean, like a fairy boy.
At such a young age, he is well-educated and sensible. He is the pride of the whole family.
I didn't expect that after not seeing him for more than ten years, Li Zhan has grown into a tall man. He no longer has the scholarly air he had back then, but has become more weathered.
Hua Changjue couldn't help but feel sad. If nothing had happened to the Li family, he would have been so high-spirited.
Unfortunately, there are no ifs in this world.
Hua Changjue stepped forward gently and bowed.
"I am Hua Changjue, Duke of Anguo."
Yu Jinzhi also hurried to say hello.
"I am Yu Jinzhi, the governor of Bianjing!"
When he heard that the other party was the Duke of Anguo, Li Zhan's eyes flickered slightly. When he heard Yu Jinzhi's identity, there was a hint of hatred in his eyes.
Others heard that Hua Changjue and others were officials.
Their faces were all very unhappy, and their eyes were faintly alert. Some people even couldn't help but put their hands on the hilts of the knives at their waists.
But it should be Li Zhan's strict governance.
No one actually took action, but just watched carefully.
Li Zhan narrowed his eyes and looked at the two of them. Finally, he bowed and said.
"Li Zhan".
But he didn't mention his status. He was a bit proud and unruly.
Hua Changjue didn't care and nodded with a smile.
Yu Jinzhi didn't dare to have any opinions. He was afraid that if it wasn't suitable, he wouldn't be able to get down the mountain alive.
Li Zhan led them into the gate of the mountain stronghold.
As he walked along, Hua Changjue saw it.
This village is very big. If you don't call it a village, it looks like a wealthy small village.
There were houses of different heights on both sides of the road. Smoke from cooking rose from the air. At the doorsteps, children were playing with their bare buttocks.
Older men, in groups of three or five, sat at the door, chatting happily.
The old women weave bamboo baskets and spin thread.
It looks like a peaceful and tranquil time.
Hua Changjue and Yu Jinzhi were amazed at what they saw.
They walked for a long time and climbed a slope before arriving at a house that was much larger than a normal house.
Li Zhan led them in.
This is a hall, which I guess is where their fake parliament is.
Li Zhan asked them to sit at the lower position on his left.
The people from other villages all sat opposite them. Those who couldn't sit down simply squatted at the door.
After everyone quieted down, Li Zhan asked calmly.
"The purpose of your visit."
He really speaks very little.
Hua Changjue spoke frankly.
"I received a secret order from His Majesty to kill Zhang Meng."
