Chapter 103 Complex Narrative

After thinking for a long time, Ling Yue still didn't know how to explain to Xia Wuchen, so she had to say, "You have met the dean, but in fact, the dean is me."

"Is the dean you? So who are you?

"I am me, the dean is the dean, but the dean is me, can you understand? Well, I have to. This problem is too difficult for you. Indeed, not to mention Xia Wuchen, it took Ling Yue herself a few days to figure it out.

"The dean is you, so are you the dean?"

Ling Yue shook her head: "I'm not the dean, but the dean is me. Well, let's not discuss this issue. It's too painful."

"But I want to know."

Ling Yue gently twisted a plum in the disk and put it in her mouth: "It's not that I don't say it, but this problem is too complicated for you."

Xia Wuchen pondered, "Well, I won't ask this question, so your fear has something to do with the dean?"

Ling Yue nodded: "Don't be entangled in this issue, Wuchen, this is all the facts I can tell you."

"Although it's incredible, I believe you."

Although Ling Yue told Xia Wuchen that she was a time traveler and told him about her general relationship with the dean, she did not mention Jiang Mozhu's matter at all. It was not that she wanted to hide it, but that it was too complicated.

"There will be a fireworks show tonight, do you want to see it?" Xia Wuchen also twisted a plum and put it in his mouth, but frowned, "Why is this plum bitter?"

Ling Yue smiled and said, "What do you, a big man, do with this? This is a medicinal plum specially made by Xiaoyou."

"Yanmei?"

"Yes, this medicine plum is used to make women feel less painful every month. Do you, a big man, also take this?"

Xia Wuchen's face suddenly turned red like a cherry: "I... I have something else to do. I'll come to you in the evening."

After saying that, he escaped without looking back.

He was afraid that there would be a shadow when he saw plums in his life, and Ling Yue couldn't help laughing. He accepted what he said so easily. In the final analysis, you are too kind after all. At this point, you are not as good as King Kang. I hope King Kang will not be your enemy in the future.

In Linyun, thousands of miles away from Yanzhou, there is a dark tide of forces. Since Emperor Xia handed over the selection of the new queen to Li Jinglue, the threshold of Li Jinglue's mansion has been broken. Fortunately, after Li Jinglue's eunuchs for decades, it was easy to handle it. He secretly paid attention to the family that came to visit, not only for the queen, but also to test what the Linyun nobles thought.

But unexpectedly, Yi Shi, who should have appeared, did not come to the meeting as he expected. According to Emperor Xia's intention, the daughter of the Yi family is really quite suitable. In this case, why didn't they come to visit? Don't they want their daughter to become the lord of the six palaces? Many people can't wait for such an opportunity.

"Lord, when did you frown?" Wu, Li Jinglue's wife, frowned when she saw her husband thinking about the list for a long time. Naturally, she knew that there were some unsatisfactory things.

"Madam, have you seen the daughter of the Yi family?"

"Which Yi family?" Wu asked.

"It is Yi Chuguan, the daughter of Yi Yuan, who resigned after guarding the file in Taichang Temple."

Wu thought for a moment and suddenly said, "Ah, I remember that my concubine went to the temple to make incense a few years ago and often met her, but I haven't seen her often in recent years. Why did the master think of her? Does the master want to put her in this list?"

"Yes, the daughter of the Yi family is really good, but I don't know why the Yi family didn't come to visit."

Wu took the fan on the table and gently fanned: "Master, you don't know anything. Although the Yi family is aristocrat, life is not even as good as ordinary people. In addition, the two brothers Yi Hengshi and Yi Hengyi are disappointing, and life can be imagined. If you come to visit the master in advance, which one is not with a valuable gift? How can you ask the Yi family to come to visit the master? A few years ago, I saw that the clothes handed down by Yi Chuguan were just ordinary coarse linen clothes. If it hadn't been for the aristocracy, I'm afraid it would really be just an ordinary people.

"How can the days be so miserable?" Li Jing was slightly surprised. Although he had heard a little about the family situation of the Yi family, he did not expect to be so poor.

"Isn't that right? Well, what's the use of the name of the aristocracy? Lord, you are not a famous family, but you are not alone. As the prime minister like you, Dongfang Chong, the left prime minister still depends on your face.

Li Jing slightly picked up the table and said, "Madam, you are wrong about this. Behind Dongfangchong stands the whole four princes, so over the years, even though Dongfang Chong has no ability, he still sits firmly in the position of prime minister. If he really commits any major crime in the future, he will be free to protect the four princes. And I'm different. I have to walk on thin ice every day, and I've been quite bored for decades. Now, the prince has been severely suppressed, and he really can't figure out what the emperor means. If the prince is really abolished, only the prince born to the seventh highness and the new queen can inherit the throne. His Highness is incompatible, and the knife and gun can't get in. I can't figure out what the child is thinking, so I must firmly control the new queen in my own hands just in case. For this reason, it took a lot of time to convince Dongfang Chong, which made him a little stupid, otherwise he really didn't know what to do.

Wu smiled and said, "The reason why I married you at the beginning was also a way to take a fancy to your left and right sources. I think it's really difficult for you these years, but it's a pity that I didn't have a man and a woman for you. If you..."

"Madam, I won't take a concubine." Li Jing slightly closed the list and said, "You can find a way to go to Yi's house tomorrow to explore the truth. Remember, you must avoid people's eyes and ears."

"I know, sir." Wu turned around and wiped the corners of his eyes with a brocade handkerchief.

For so many years, Wu has not gave birth to a man and a woman for Li Jinglue. Although the outside world knows that Li Rongrong was born to Li Jinglue's wife Wu, in fact, no one knows that Li Rong is an abandoned baby picked up by the Wu family at the gate of the temple. In addition, not to mention the prime minister of a country, even ordinary people can't accept the absence of heirs. However, Li Jinglue insisted on accepting concubines, which made Wu feel guilty and impeccable for Li Jinglue in life and diet. That's all she can do.

Speaking of which, Wu and Li Jinglue are fellow villagers, even childhood sweethearts. After the wedding, Wu followed Li Jinglue to Linyun to take the exam. After that, Li Jinglue was the top high school champion with full of talent. Since then, Li Jinglue has been floating in the sea of eunuchs, and it is inevitable to play on the scene, but Wu is also particularly reasonable. She feels that it is not necessarily a ability to play on the scene. I also understand that if it weren't for that, how could my husband make many contacts in the court?

"Madam, it's been hard for you to take care of me for so many years. Don't be too wronged."

"How can my concubine be wronged?" Wu lowered his head and left the study.

After Wu left, Li Jing looked at the flowers and plants in the courtyard outside the window and smiled.

It's a strategy. If you don't even think about your own way out, how can you be called a strategy? However, the ups and downs of the eunuch sea for several years still made him a little tired, and many times he wanted to go back to that white fog. There is his lifelong waiting and all his concerns.

It's the season of fireworks again, and it's been 17 years...

After drinking all the remaining ginseng tea, Li Jing walked to the window and looked at the sky.
