Chapter 157 Light
Yongning Marquis Mansion, study.
"Zhou Ziyue! What are you doing?" In the darkness, Prince Zhou Huangquan grabbed Zhou Ziyue's collar tightly and almost lifted him up.
I asked him to shift the blame to someone else, but I didn't expect that it almost fell on his head!
What else can this piece of trash do?
"Your Highness! There's something wrong!" Zhou Ziyue felt very uncomfortable being pulled, and he couldn't wait to explain, "There's something fishy about this."
How could such a coincidence happen?
They wanted to deal with the General's Mansion, and Lin Junchen happened to not go to Peijing!
This is too strange.
"Is there a problem?" Zhou Huangquan was speechless. Last time the victims made trouble he said there was a traitor, and now he said there was something fishy. He had no ability, but he was a master at shifting the blame.
"I think the biggest problem is that I used a piece of trash like you!" Zhou Huangquan threw him to the ground with all his strength, "I've let you ruin my plans time and time again!"
Zhou Ziyue had nothing to say about other things, but he now had an idea about this matter and he had to speak it out.
"Your Highness, it really wasn't me. Someone was setting this up." Zhou Ziyue got up from the ground and knelt at his feet again.
Making a game?
Zhou Huangquan frowned and asked, "Who is it?"
"Your Highness!" Zhou Ziyue said, "If I'm not mistaken, the second son of the Bai family, Bai Yanli, also appeared in the general's mansion, right?"
Bai Yanli? !
When the prince was mentioned, his heart suddenly skipped a beat.
Yes, he did show up, and not only did he show up, he also stood up and confronted him.
The prince felt something was wrong at the time. How could a businessman like him have the guts to block his way? Later, because of the reversal of events, he forgot about it for a while, but now that Zhou Ziyue mentioned it, he suddenly remembered it again.
"What do you mean? Do you mean he set it up?" The prince narrowed his eyes.
Zhou Ziyue said: "Your Highness should have realized that Bai Yanli is not an ordinary businessman at all. There is someone behind him!"
Yes.
Zhou Huangquan felt that if there was no one, he would not be so confident.
What's more, from Longquan Temple to the General's Mansion, he was there at all the things that were destroyed. This is too much of a coincidence.
"Who is it?!" Zhou Huangquan asked coldly. Who was the person behind him? Who dared to do it behind his back?
"King of Wei!" Zhou Ziyue's pupils widened and he said with certainty, "It's the King of Wei!"
"What did you say? King Wei?" The prince was very surprised.
That prodigal son?! The prince didn't believe it at all. After he was targeted by the emperor, he carefully investigated the power of the other princes to ensure that no one would take advantage of the opportunity to harm him. The only one he didn't care about was the King of Wei.
Firstly, the King of Wei was still young, and secondly, he liked romance, singing and dancing, and spent his days racing horses and having fun. He didn't seem to be ambitious at all. Who would have thought that he was actually doing this behind his back?
"Yes." Zhou Ziyue said, "Your Highness, the spy reported the death of Shangshu Liu Qin a few days ago, and it was the work of the King of Wei."
"It's the same with the General's Mansion." Zhou Ziyue said, "Otherwise we wouldn't have made such a big mistake. It must be that the King of Wei asked the second son of the Bai family to do something wrong. He wants to fish in troubled waters in the current chaos. On the one hand, he wants to suppress Your Highness, and on the other hand, he wants to win the attention of the Emperor. After all, except for Your Highness, there is no prince who can take on the important task. This is an opportunity for him!"
That's it!
The prince sneered. I didn't expect this kid to do something sneaky?
But thinking back on it, he suffered so much before because he didn't know who was the mastermind behind the scenes. Now that he knows, he will naturally not let such a thing happen again.
A young King of Wei!
Zhou Huangquan thought to himself that he would crush him to death like crushing an ant!

White House.
Shang and Bai Ge returned to the Bai Mansion first, while Tang Wanru and Bai Yanli stayed in the General's Mansion for a while before coming back.
It was late at night.
Tang Wanru and Bai Yanli got off the carriage and were about to walk inside when they heard a voice behind them: "Wanru."
Tang Wanru looked back and saw that it was Lin Ying standing at the door.
"Cousin?" Tang Wanru let Bai Yanli go in first, and followed Lin Ying to the side.
Arriving at the corner alley of the Bai family, Lin Ying saw that the Bai family had already gone in, and then he said to Tang Wanru: "Wanru, I discovered Bai Yanli's power when I went to Peijing this time."
Bai Yanli’s power?
Although Tang Wanru had long guessed that Bai Yanli was not just a businessman, she was still a little surprised when she heard what Lin Ying said.
"During this disaster, the Bai family donated a lot of money to Peijing. In the face of the disaster, many forces in Peijing have also emerged. Bai Yanli's power is not only in business. If I am not mistaken, he has a hidden force. Peijing is just a branch, and the main force is in the capital."
"Bai Yanli is King Wei's man, so it's normal for him to have power." Tang Wanru guessed.
Lin Ying didn't say much about this, but just said: "If this is the case, then the Bai family is probably going to help the King of Wei win the throne."
At this point, Lin Ying sighed softly, looking at her with eyes full of heartache: "Wanru, my father asked you to marry into the Bai family so that you could stay away from the disputes in the court, but now you have married into the disputes instead."
It was such a coincidence.
Tang Wanru didn't think much of this. In her previous life, Bai Yanli had indeed stayed away from disputes.
But what is the result?
In her previous life, she was also a well-behaved person who didn't want to get involved in disputes. What was the final outcome?
Instead of waiting for death, it is better to take the initiative and control the development of the situation in your own hands.
Seeing that Tang Wanru didn't say anything, Lin Ying seemed to have guessed her thoughts. She didn't say anything else, but just said: "Wanru, now that things have come to this, I have to remind you that your husband Bai Yanli is very powerful. You can take advantage of his power, but you must not resist him."
She remembered Lin Ying's advice to her. Tang Wanru nodded to her and then laughed again.
Lin Ying was telling her something so serious, but she actually laughed. Lin Ying was a little surprised: "What are you laughing at?"
Tang Wanru smiled and said, relaxing the atmosphere: "Cousin, there is light in your eyes."
"Is there?" Lin Ying asked her with bright eyes blinking.
"Yeah." Tang Wanru nodded.
She clearly remembered that in her previous life, Xu Zhiqing was arrested and imprisoned for cheating in the imperial examination, and was later executed instead of a death row prisoner.
Her life seemed to have died with him, and there was no smile on her face anymore.
He once said that after he passed the imperial examination, he would immediately go to the general's mansion to ask for her hand in marriage.
His eyes never left her, but he couldn't bear to touch her with even a finger.
I'm just afraid it will ruin her reputation.
However, all this came to an abrupt end after he was murdered and imprisoned.
Xu Zhiqing is dead.
But it will remain in her heart forever.
Tang Wanru knew all this when Lin Ying rescued her from the exile team many times.
At that time, there was no light in Lin Ying's eyes. She was bloodthirsty and indifferent, and she only wanted to save her from the abyss of pain.
This state continued until her death.
So, when Tang Wanru in this life saw Lin Ying again for the first time in the general's mansion, she told herself.
She wants to keep the light in her eyes!
Now it has been achieved.
Thinking of this, Tang Wanru smiled even more gently.
Seeing that she was only smiling and not saying anything, Lin Ying deliberately crossed her arms and said angrily, "Wanru, you have really changed. You have become bolder. You even dare to laugh at your cousin?"
She was finally not as cold and distant to her as she was at the beginning.
Tang Wanru was very happy.
"I didn't." Tang Wanru said, "Cousin, Xu Zhuangyuan has now been approved by my uncle, and your good fortune should be coming soon."
"Cousin, consolidate your strength." Tang Wanru held her hand and said word by word, "We still have a big battle to fight."
