Not long after, Xie Yunzhao, turning the red rope on the token of the second son of the Duke of Lu's Mansion in one hand and holding the imperial edict in the other, walked through the Xie family army, staggered in front of the crowd, and sneered at everyone.
"You can see that I have the Xie family army behind me. His Majesty has issued a decree that the Ascension Pavilion must be built, and no one can stop it. There is no point in you staying here. If you don't want to lose your life, go home quickly."
The Duke of Lu came out behind him and wanted to kick him when he saw how arrogant he was.
In the end, I could only cover my face, out of sight, out of mind.
"We're not leaving."
"Yes, we will not compromise until the evil is eliminated."
There is always a lack of leaders. Xie Yunzhao just glanced at them calmly and said, "Guard well. Anyone who dares to break into the construction site will be killed on the spot!"
"Yes, Second Young Master."
Xie Yunzhao proudly asked his father to get on the horse and leave.
Xie Yunzheng was at the back of the crowd. He was so angry when he heard what Xie Yunzhao said. He was too arrogant. Sooner or later, the Duke of Lu's Mansion would be betrayed by him.
He rode his horse to chase after him, and only dared to call him father when they were alone.
When the Duke of Lu heard this, he stopped his horse and turned around, "Why are you here?"
"Dad, you can't follow my second brother and do whatever he wants."
Xie Yunzhao rolled his eyes: "Can you please stop saying bad things about me to my face?"
Xie Yunzheng ignored him: "Dad, now that this is happening, isn't it pushing our family to the forefront? How much hatred will it bring?"
"Dad, if you listen to him, I won't care about you in the future. The princess and I will live a good life in the princess's mansion. Don't ask me for anything about the Duke of Lu's Mansion or military power." Xie Yunzhao said slowly.
Duke Lu looked at Xie Yunzhao, then at Xie Yunzheng, and said in embarrassment: "Yunzheng, His Majesty has not returned your Prince's Order. You should go back home first and take care of the house. Dad is outside."
"Dad, how can you listen to this uneducated and uneducated playboy?" Xie Yunzheng pointed at Xie Yunzhao with bloodshot eyes.
Duke Lu shouted angrily: "What else can we do? We can't get the military power back, and we can't build the Ascension Pavilion. Are you all going to wash your necks and let Your Majesty chop them off?"
At this moment, he was extremely disappointed with Xie Yunzheng. He caused so many troubles and he couldn't think of a good solution. Yun Zhao cleaned up his mess and still had the nerve to call Yun Zhao a playboy.
"Come here, send the eldest son back to the mansion! He cannot be let out of the mansion without the order of the Duke of this country!"
Eldest son?
"Dad!" Xie Yunzheng's face was filled with astonishment. How could his father disrespect him so much and even lock him up?
"Hurry up and go!" Duke Lu was angry.
"Yes, Duke." The subordinate obeyed the order and asked Xie Yunzheng to return home.
Xie Yun was not convinced and asked why his father locked him up.
Before anything else could be said, the horse was led away.
At this time, Xie Yunzhao lowered his head and whispered to his father: "Don't be angry, Dad. He is right. It is your son who has disappointed you."
"Don't say that. You are doing well now. No matter what the outcome is, Dad is very proud of you today." The Duke of Lu praised sincerely.
"Thank you, Dad. As long as you and Mom are fine, I will do whatever you ask me to do." Xie Yunzhao said obediently and sensibly.
Duke Lu's eyes suddenly became red. After more than 20 years, he finally had this son... To be honest, it was not easy.
"Dad, let's go. I've been delayed for so long. I want to go back to accompany the princess."
Duke of Lu: ...
Just when it was warm, it became cold again.
"Stop, you little brat, you haven't told me what to do next..."
Xie Yunzhao left his father far behind and started working. What work?
Do you really expect him to build the Immortal Pavilion for Li Chen? You’re dreaming.
…
At Minister Li's residence, Li Wan'er was accompanying Xie Zhinan in studying when Li Mei'er arrived.
After letting the wet nurse take Xie Zhinan away, the cousins started talking.
"Cousin, the military power of the Xie family army has now returned to your Duke's Mansion."
"I heard about it, but my husband's token has not been returned yet."
"It's only a matter of time, don't worry cousin."
Li Wan'er no longer pays much attention to him, but he is Anan's father after all. If he loses his status as the crown prince, how will Anan inherit the title in the future?
"Why are you here today?"
Li Mei'er's smiling face gradually turned bitter: "Cousin, tell me, how can a person's attitude... change so quickly?"
"What happened? My brother-in-law wants to take a concubine?"
Li Meier shook her head, tears welling up in her eyes: "No, it's just that he suddenly ignored me. He didn't comfort me when I was angry. When I told him where it hurt, he didn't show any concern."
The more he spoke, the more aggrieved he felt, and finally he lay in Li Wan'er's arms and started crying.
Li Wan'er envied the relationship between them the most. Her brother-in-law was always as passionate towards her as he was before marriage. But has he become cold now?
"Investigate carefully. If he wants to take a concubine...you..."
Upon hearing this, Li Meir cried even harder.
Li Wan'er really didn't know how to persuade him; her own life was a mess.
At the Lu family, when Lu Ziqian saw that the military power of the Xie family was taken back, he changed his mind and discussed with his father, and still wanted to marry the princess's half-sister.
Minister Lu's judgment was also confused by this unexpected change, so he followed his son.
Lu Ziqian did not go directly to the Prince's Mansion to propose marriage, but went to the Princess's Mansion to talk to Xie Yunzhao. If the Princess agreed, the Prince's Consort would also agree.
"What?" Xie Yunzhao wanted to say, are you dreaming? But he couldn't say, "No, she is just a concubine's daughter. If you follow me, you will have a bright future. How can you marry a concubine's daughter?"
Lu Ziqian smiled and said, "Although she is a concubine's daughter, she is also the princess's concubine's sister. I think it's good that we are even closer relatives."
"Wrong, you already have a brother like me. There is no need to strengthen our life-long friendship. Instead, we should make good use of your marriage..." Xie Yunzhao raised an eyebrow at him.
Lu Ziqian received his hint, lowered his head and thought about it, it seemed to be true.
She was sent back home to discuss another marriage with her father.
When Xie Yunzhao saw him leaving, he sneered in his heart: He still wants to be his brother-in-law, but he is not worthy!
He turned around and told Shen Shurong, and they both sneered.
"My husband has done a great job." Shen Shurong liked to praise him, and he was willing to listen.
His deep eyes looked at the pretty girl in front of him, and it seemed that she had gained weight on her face.
The fingers gently slid over the skin as white as cream, the peach blossom eyes with rippling water, and the red lips, which were as beautiful as a flower and as bright as the moon.
He kept sighing in his heart, how great it was to be able to marry her.
Chen Shurong had been wearing loose clothes recently for the sake of the fetus in her belly, and his hand reached in along the hem of her clothes.
Even though he practices swordsmanship and martial arts every day, he pays great attention to the care of his hands, for fear of hurting his delicate wife.
She seemed even more sensitive at this time. She seemed to turn into a puddle of water, collapsing in the man's arms, unable to exert any strength.
The touch of his hands and her panting continued to stimulate him. Unable to complete the last step, he ran to the bathroom to take a shower.
She muttered that she would never have another child after this one, and always snatched Rongrong from him.
Chen Shurong wanted to laugh when he heard this, and he was not afraid that his children would laugh at him when they grew up.
…
Five days passed, and the sound of logging could be heard from time to time at the Dengxian Pavilion construction site, but no materials were delivered.
Before Li Chen had the chance to inquire, he heard that the third prince in the northern fiefdom had raised an army under the banner of clearing the court of corrupt officials.
Kill the evildoers, kill the treacherous minister Xie Yunzheng, and restore the justice and justice to the Great Zhou Dynasty!
