Chapter 76 Shura Field
"The prince already knows my true identity." Song Zijin said frankly.
"What?" Wen Yan was shocked.
Knowing the difference between uncle and sister-in-law, King Jinyue actually allowed himself to fall into it?
"Is it possible that King Jinyue treats you well just because you are his savior?"
He has always disdained to assume the worst of others, but when the other person is someone Zijin cares about, he can't help but feel jealous and can't control the meanness in his heart.
"I don't know, but even if it's to repay the favor of saving my life, the prince's kindness to me is not fake. He remembers what I like to eat, gives me the best jewelry, cares about whether I am happy, and even risks his own life to save me when I am in danger. These are enough to prove his sincerity, aren't they?"
She smiled gently, radiating happiness from the inside out.
Wen Yan looked away and said unwillingly, "He was right to risk his life to save you. What happened at the clinic last night was caused by him. It was just an unexpected disaster for you."
"No, the prince is truly a very good man. He is upright, righteous, and will not bully the weak. He is completely different from those unruly and willful generals you mentioned before."
Wen Yan gave a bitter laugh, "Will he marry you in the future? With Xiao Jin around, will your relationship really be happy?"
She will definitely not be able to become a princess, and being a concubine will be despised by others. I'm afraid she can only be a shameful mistress.
How can a person as delicate as a flower withstand so many rumors?
He couldn't bear to see his beloved girl living in pain in the future.
Song Zijin lowered his eyes, "I have never thought about having a future with the prince."
"Really?" Wen Yan was ecstatic, and a glimmer of hope flashed in his dim eyes.
"Do you remember what I said before? If you want to leave..."
"What did Lord Wen say before?"
The sudden voice interrupted Wen Yan before he finished speaking.
Wen Yan turned around and saw Xiao Linyuan, dressed in armor, pushing open the door and walking in.
Each step was carried out with a steady and powerful rhythm, and the nails made a subtle collision sound, echoing in the silent space.
The first time Song Zijin saw Xiao Linyuan wearing armor, his eyes lit up instantly. It turned out that this was the great general who dominated the battlefield.
Majestic and dignified.
Xiao Linyuan was very satisfied with her eyes, but his face still darkened when he thought of what she had just said.
Wen Yan was stunned. "Is the prince's health improved?"
"How can you protect this king's woman if things go wrong?"
This statement was earth-shattering, and it put the relationship between the two of them directly in front of Wen Yan.
Wen Yan's face quickly turned pale and he stared at Song Zijin blankly.
They have already...
Yes, Xiao Jin sent Zi Jin here to seduce Xiao Linyuan. With such beauty, any man would find it difficult to control himself.
Song Zijin didn't care about being embarrassed or angry, and was filled with worry: "Your Highness, aren't you afraid that the Emperor's people will see you when you go out like this?"
Xiao Linyuan frowned, "What did you promise me last night?"
Song Zijin glanced at Wen Yan and called out softly, "Brother Lingzhi."
Xiao Linyuan was satisfied. He walked over, took her hand and shook it gently.
"Don't be afraid. I'm going to court today. I'm dressed like this on purpose, but I'm still in a wheelchair. I won't be exposed until the poison is resolved."
"Why are you wearing armor?" Song Zijin was puzzled.
"Just to intimidate the emperor a little and lay the groundwork for the next plan. I can't just pretend to be sick all my life. I'm already preparing for a full-scale counterattack."
Wen Yan was shocked by Xiao Linyuan's plan, and even more shocked by his humbleness in front of Zijin.
Especially the two tightly clasped hands stung his eyes.
"Your Majesty, you should respect yourself in front of outsiders. You don't want fame, but Zijin does!"
Xiao Linyuan sneered, "Lord Wen, please be careful with your words. This is my family affair and has nothing to do with you, Lord Wen."
"Family matters?" Wen Yan was stimulated and suddenly raised his voice.
"Your Highness, you've read the sages' books in vain! As the legitimate son of the Xiao family, you harbor inappropriate thoughts about your eldest half-brother's wife. Have you ever considered the Three Bonds and Five Constant Virtues? I've heard that on the battlefield, Prince Jinyue was both brave and resourceful, yet how could he disregard a woman's feelings and behave like a reckless man in the harem?"
Because of excitement, his whole face turned the color of liver.
"Wen Yan!" Song Zijin exclaimed.
You slapped him in the face in front of Xiao Linyuan. Are you really not afraid that Xiao Linyuan will get serious?
"Brother Lingzhi, Lord Wen is usually very gentle. He was worried about my safety today, so he spoke rudely. Please don't take it to heart."
After saying that, she turned to look at Wen Yan and winked, "Hurry up and apologize to the prince!"
Both of them are people she cares about, one is a relative and the other is a lover. They can obviously cooperate, so why are they so hostile?
Wen Yan turned his head away, his jaw tense.
He would not apologize, what he said was all true. If King Jin Yue could not solve this problem, he did not deserve Zi Jin!
Xiao Linyuan was indeed very angry. No outsider had ever dared to point fingers at him and criticize him like this.
But what Wen Yan said was the truth. If the issue of Xiao Jin's wife was not resolved, Zi Jin would never be willing to be with him.
Even if he plotted to usurp the throne and supported her to sit on the throne, with everyone admiring her, she would still be unhappy about the marriage.
This was a thorn in the hearts of both of them.
But what about the thorns?
No matter what the cost, he would try to pull it out because he couldn't live without her.
"What happens between the prince and Zijin is not your business as a neighbor. Don't think I can't see what shameful plans you have in mind!
Zijin respects you, so I'm willing to treat you as one of my own. As for the rest, you have no right to dictate anything! I have my own plans, and I don't need to share them with you. Just remember, I won't let her down."
He exuded an inviolable majesty, and after saying this, he pulled Song Zijin away.
Song Zijin felt like she was stepping on cotton, feeling light and warm all over.
Wen Yan froze in place, motionless like a sculpture.
He was a little confused and didn't know what else he could rely on to fight.
He hated himself for being timid in the past and only wanted to train her to be a qualified mistress, but ended up pushing her further away.
Compared with Xiao Linyuan, he is indeed not a good match.
"Wait a minute!" Wen Yan shouted with his eyes closed.
Xiao Linyuan let go of Song Zijin's hand, strode back, and raised his fist. "My patience is limited. Do you want to fight?"
"I don't want to fight." He had already lost completely, so why bother to make things difficult for Zijin.
"This humble official would like to speak to His Majesty alone."
Xiao Linyuan lowered his fist and said, "There's nothing I can't tell Zijin. Just tell me."
"Let's talk about politics."
Since ancient times, women have not been allowed to participate in politics, so there are some things he cannot discuss in front of Zijin.
But Xiao Linyuan ignored him and said, "Political affairs are also matters, just speak frankly."
Wen Yan slowly exhaled a breath of foul air. Compared with Xiao Linyuan, he always seemed to have a lot of concerns.
