Chapter 217 Someone fell into the water
Zhuo Yu felt a warm feeling in his heart. He immediately put away his things and nodded.
"Don't touch the water with your head. If you feel uncomfortable, come to me. Master and I will leave first." After saying this, Lan Yan and Mo Yunzhu left Wanyao Pavilion.
In the car, Lan Yan laughed loudly and said, "Master, you are too mean. Have you seen Zhuo Hongli's old face? I was almost mad at you. How can you think of such a mean trick? I admire you."
"What loss? I was right. If he wanted the Fan family's wealth so much, he could just marry Fan Mingzhu himself." Mo Yunzhu sneered.
Lan Yan couldn't help laughing and said, "Master, do you feel that this old guy seems to be determined to win? I'm afraid he will really use some dirty tricks on Zhuo Yu."
"I'm not just afraid, I'm sure. Didn't you see the viciousness in his eyes? I think he must have some hidden deal with the Fan family. I'll have someone keep an eye on Zhuo Yu to prevent him from getting hurt."
"Hehe, if Master Zhuo marries Fan Mingzhu, he can subdue this woman, isn't that good? You are going to go to Chen State in the future, and the Fan family is powerful and influential, which will be twice the result with half the effort for you. Master, have you considered this?"
Mo Yunzhu glanced at Lan Yan and said, "Of course I've thought about this benefit, but if revenge requires sacrificing Zhuo Yu's lifelong happiness, then what's the point? It will still be painful in the end. So even if the Fan family can help us a lot, I won't let Zhuo Yu marry a woman he doesn't like.
Moreover, Zhuo Hongli and the Fan family must have some shameful collusion. Even if Zhuo Yu bribes him, it is not certain that he will benefit from it. That would be a real loss of both his wife and his soldiers.
Lan Yan immediately raised his thumb and said, "Master, you are really thoughtful. Master, you are younger than me, but you seem to see things more comprehensively than me."
Lan Yan was feeling a little miserable, he really didn't think about it that much.
"Just focus on studying medicine and being nice to Qin Xin. Don't worry about the other things. I will make arrangements. By the way, is the old emperor doing well recently?"
Lan Yan smiled instantly and said, "The prince gave him two beauties, and he was very happy, but he also knew he was afraid. I have already told him directly that if he doesn't get better in a short time, he will be a eunuch again. Now let him take the medicine and give him some reaction occasionally. Hehe, I don't have to go to the palace every day to face his old face."
"Well, now he is quite nice to Prince Lan. After arranging Prince Lan in the Ministry of Personnel, he would call him to discuss some things from time to time. I just don't know what his intention is. But I know that this old pervert will definitely not like Prince Lan." Mo Yunzhu's eyes were cold.
Lan Yan nodded and said, "I just feel a little guilty towards Prince Lan, and I am just making amends. The old pervert has seventeen sons, and he doesn't like the crown prince, the third prince, and the fourth prince. There are others, but he didn't pay attention to them before, but now he starts to pay attention to them.
However, this has caused a stir in the harem, and the concubines with children have started quarreling again. I think he is too busy to choose the real successor so it is not too early."
"So why didn't he depose the crown prince? Why did he bring him out now to show everyone? He wanted to calm the other princes. Lan Yan, you can torture him, but don't kill him. Prince Lan doesn't have enough time yet."
"Don't worry, I will never let him die." Lan Yan naturally understood that if the emperor died suddenly now, the prince would definitely succeed to the throne directly.
Even if Prince Lan wanted to seize it, he couldn't do so in terms of power. Although Prince Lan had been planning for a long time, he had been away for ten years after all. It was impossible for him to expand his power so quickly.
The two chatted for a while and then went back to their houses. Mo Tiancheng happened to come back and saw two dusty guards in the study.
After Mo Yunzhu went in, she found out that the iron mine in the west of the city had also been taken over by her father's people. So now both the iron mines in the east and west of the city were in the hands of King Lan. This was a very good thing for them, after all, they were afraid of making a surprise attack before.
Even if we investigate now, the imperial court's share is still not small, but the Zhao family's share fell into Prince Lan's pocket.
They need to cultivate their own people and power, and they still need a lot.
"Yun Zhu, the emperor has been in a good mood recently. He seems to respect me more and even asked about your uncle and younger uncle." Mo Tiancheng has been beaming with joy recently.
"Dad, don't let him fool you." Mo Yunzhu was afraid that her father was too loyal. If it weren't for the old lecher's feelings for her that made her father feel disgusted, she wouldn't have been so easily persuaded to rebel.
"How is that possible? But my father is favored by the emperor now, which is also good for Prince Lan and you." Mo Tiancheng smiled.
Mo Yunzhu naturally understood, and then said: "There are still some people on the list, do you need me to deal with a few more?"
"No, you should stay out of the spotlight. Some things can be done by Prince Lan and Dad."
Mo Yunzhu didn't try to rush for things to do. What she was thinking about now was how to deal with Fan Mingzhu and collect some interest from Jun Huolan first.
With a smart person like Ouyang Cong around, everything she wants to do will go much more smoothly.
The next day, Ouyang Lan was dragged out shopping by Fan Mingzhu, accompanied by two guards from the Ouyang family and two guards from Fan Mingzhu.
Fan Mingzhu was very interested in Qingyun's skirt, so she asked Ouyang Lan to take her to the largest clothing store.
As soon as the two women left the door, Ouyang Cong's men secretly left behind and told Mo Yunzhu.
An hour later, Fan Mingzhu changed into an elegant light golden pink dress and happily strolled around the street.
Many people were looking at this girl. After all, noble ladies like Fan Mingzhu were rarely seen on the streets, so she inevitably attracted everyone's attention.
Along the Qingyun River, willow trees are drooping and peach blossoms are blooming, creating a beautiful scene.
Fan Mingzhu came here to enjoy the scenery with a string of candied haws and Ouyang orchids.
There are quite a few people here at the moment, and many young boys and girls are out playing.
"Your Qingyun is really nice, and the weather is a little wetter than our Chen country." There was a blush on Fan Mingzhu's face, and it was obvious that she was having a lot of fun.
Normally, if no one is against this woman, she is still a normal person.
"It's spring now, it's really the most beautiful time of the year. Look, there are a lot of people out having fun on the streets." Ouyang Lan was accompanying her. She didn't want to play with this woman at all, but her brother insisted that she accompany Fan Mingzhu.
Suddenly, it became very lively in front and many people gathered around.
"What happened? Let's go and take a look." Fan Mingzhu loved the hustle and bustle, so she quickly pulled up her skirt and ran forward.
"Miss, please be careful." Fan Mingzhu's two guards shouted and chased after her.
"Ms. Fan, wait for me." Ouyang Lan was a step slower and had fallen behind the three people.
"Someone fell into the water." Someone in front shouted.
Ouyang Lan looked over here and saw too many people, but she could see Fan Mingzhu moving forward while yelling, "Get out of the way, let me see!"
