Everything starts from Menghualu

Chapter 238 Jun’s Prelude

"Okay, just think about it, Xu'er. In fact, sometimes, giving up is not a bad thing. You can let it go now. I am very happy as a father." Li Zedao

"Father, actually I don't want to give up, but the inheritance of our family is the most important. I don't know how far Ling Buhuo will go, so this is the only way." Li Xu said

After hearing this, Li Ze nodded directly. He knew very well that his son must feel very uncomfortable now. After all, she was the woman he had been in love with for many years.

But for the sake of his family, he still gave up, and this allowed him to truly recognize his son.

At this time, He Zhaojun didn't know that the conversation between the Li family and his son, she just thought it was because Li Xu was sure that she didn't dare to break off the engagement, so she acted so wantonly.

After she returned to her home, she wrote a letter directly and had it sent to Feng Yi County. She had never suffered such a great injustice since she was a child, so she didn't want to endure it and couldn't endure it.

Three days passed slowly, and He Zhaojun never went to see Li Xu again. It was as if this incident had never happened. They all deliberately forgot about it.

A big event happened in the capital today. His Majesty returned to the capital. Also returning with him were former general Ling Buyi and Fan Chang who was captured.

Emperor Wen, who returned to the palace, did not rush to read the memorial, but hurriedly said, "Zisheng, you have worked hard this time. Go back and rest quickly. Let's talk about anything tomorrow."

After hearing this, Ling Busu didn't bother anymore. After all, he wanted to meet Ling Buhuo quickly, so he bowed directly and then exited the imperial study.

What he didn't know was that as soon as he left, Jiang Chong from Xiuyi Guard entered the imperial study.

"Tell me, what happened during my absence?" Emperor Wen asked.

Jiang Chong bowed directly after hearing this, and then slowly told everything that happened during this period,

"Huh? Are you saying that Prince Yong is now imprisoned in Tingwei's Mansion? Didn't I make a decree before not to let Marquis Xiangwu get entangled with him? How dare he resist the decree?" Emperor Wen said with a serious face.

"Your Majesty, Marquis Xiangwu is not resisting the decree. The reason for his arrest is to rob civilian girls." Jiang Chong said.

"What? Robbing women? This is simply ridiculous!" Emperor Wen said angrily.

"Your Majesty, although this matter is ridiculous, there are all the witnesses and material evidence, so?" Jiang Chong said

"Huh? All the witnesses and material evidence are available? What a person who has all the witnesses and material evidence. Tell everything once and don't miss any details!" Emperor Wen asked.

"It's your Majesty. The cause of the matter is that the son of Marquis Xiuyuan became a robbed woman." Jiang Chong said.

"Huh? Marquis Xiuyuan? I remembered, this Li Xu, when He Zhaojun and the second room of the Lou family got engaged, there seemed to be a big fuss, right?" Emperor Wen said.

"Yes, Your Majesty, it was you who personally issued the order to end this matter." Jiang Chong said

"Ling Buhuo, Marquis Xiuyuan, haha, I want to see what the hell you are doing! Send a message to Marquis Xiangwu to come to the palace tomorrow." Emperor Wen sneered.

After hearing this, Jiang Chong naturally bowed and then exited the imperial study. After he left, Emperor Wen did not stay long, but left directly back to the harem.

At the same time, at the former General's Mansion, the two Ling brothers had also begun discussions.

"Well, your approach this time is full of loopholes. Do you think His Majesty will believe your lies? You are getting bolder and bolder now. Who gave you the confidence?" Ling Busuo asked.

"Brother, my confidence is you. Without your support, how could I dare to do it? Brother, don't worry, this time there will be nothing wrong." Ling Buhuo said

"Haha, it's foolproof? I can't see it, right? There must be something else you haven't told me, right? Don't you want me to know?" Ling Buquestion asked

"Brother, I knew I couldn't hide it from you. In fact, I didn't mean to hide it. It's really not convenient to tell this matter in advance. It's better that you don't know some things." Ling Buhuo explained.

"I don't know? I don't know. I want to see what kind of tricks you are going to play. Okay, you can go back. If nothing else happens, His Majesty will summon you." Ling Buyi said

"Brother, I wonder if Fan Chang has confessed?" Ling Buhuo said.

"Confess? I'm afraid you're going to be disappointed. He didn't say anything. He just took it all on himself. How about it? Did you make a mistake this time?" Ling Busuo asked.

"Brother, it's better not to confess. You don't know that Prince Xiao has already told everything. This is Prince Xiao's confession." Ling Buhuo took out the confession and handed it over.

Ling Buyi picked up the confession and read it slowly. His expression became more and more solemn, and finally he said angrily, "This is unreasonable! They are just a bunch of bastards!"

"Brother, can you see clearly now, what exactly are you going to face?" Ling Buhuo said.

"Huh, don't be pretentious and tell me your purpose?" Ling Buyi said directly.

"Brother, they are in a circle. There are many people in this circle. You cannot defeat them on your own. Just a Xiao Yuehou is already extremely difficult to deal with."

"What happened back then was the result of their tacit connivance step by step. At that time, they were all thinking about their own escape."

"The existence of General Huo will affect their retreat, so after General Huo died, some of them resold ordnance, some refused to save him, and some killed him."

"And it is impossible for His Majesty not to know about it, but there is nothing you can do if you know it, because there are too many people, and these people are so powerful that even His Majesty cannot touch them without permission."

"The reason why Your Majesty has shown so much love and care to you, my eldest brother, over the years is because you feel guilty. After all, Your Majesty cannot avenge General Huo."

"This time I want to give the Li family a big benefit, a benefit they can't refuse. As long as they accept this benefit, they will get on the same boat as us and never get off!"

"At that time, these so-called allies can really help you, brother. Their existence will prevent you from being attacked from both sides." Ling Buhuo said

After hearing this, Ling Buyi didn't speak for a while, and Ling Buhuo didn't say anything more. Time passed slowly. I don't know how long it took before Ling Buyi said, "What you said makes sense."

"But there are some things you didn't say. I don't care what your plan is. I just want revenge. As long as you can help me get revenge, I don't care about your plan. I will accompany you into the palace tomorrow." Ling Busuo said.

After hearing this, Ling Buhuo finally breathed a sigh of relief. After all, if his eldest brother hadn't been in front of him, he would have been unable to avoid the charge of resisting the imperial decree.

Now it's better, he can finally feel relieved. Now he is looking forward to tomorrow's summons.

"Okay, brother, if you have no other instructions, I will go back first." Ling Buhuo bowed directly and said

Ling Busuo just nodded after hearing this, and then stopped talking. Ling Busuo saw this. He turned around and left obediently. Ling Busu stared at Ling Buhuo's leaving figure, not knowing what he was thinking.

At this time, Ling Buhuo returned home with a relaxed expression. But as soon as he came back, he noticed something was wrong. His wife was actually seeing guests? After asking about the identity of the guest, a flash of understanding flashed across Ling Buhuo's face, and then he entered the flower hall with a calm expression. At this time, in the flower hall, besides Shao Shang, He Zhaojun was also there.

"Husband, you are finally back. Sister Zhaojun has been waiting for you for a long time." Shaoshang stepped forward and said

"Oh? Is there such a thing? Wait, he came by himself? Where is Li Xu?" Ling Buhuo asked

"Marquis Xiangwu, please don't mention Li Xu's name again. He has nothing to do with me anymore. I came to you today myself. I believe you know the purpose of my coming." He Zhaojun interrupted.

"Oh? Are you telling the truth? You and Li Xu have nothing to do with each other anymore? Since it doesn't matter anymore, please forgive me for not accompanying you. Let's see you off in the lotus room!" Ling Buhuo's expression changed immediately after hearing this.

"Ling Buhuo, don't go too far! Back then you said that as long as I got engaged to Li Xu, you would let Prince Xiao go. Now I want you to fulfill your promise!" He Zhaojun became anxious after hearing this.

"Oh? This is your three business, what does it have to do with me? When did I say this? Why don't I remember?" Ling Buhuo said directly

"You, what do you mean by this? It was you who said it in the first place." He Zhaojun asked

"Oh? I wonder if you have evidence? If you can produce evidence, I will admit that I said this and let him go immediately." Ling Buhuo said

"You, you, there were only three of us present, you!" He Zhaojun said angrily

"Oh? Since there are three people, it's easy to handle. You find the third person. As long as he can help you testify, I can let him go." Ling Buhuo said

"You, you, you liar, liar! Aren't you afraid of His Majesty's condemnation, knowing that you are disrespectful by resisting the decree!" He Zhaojun cursed

"Haha, of course I'm afraid, but maybe you don't know, right? His Majesty has known it for a long time. Do you think what I do can really be hidden from His Majesty?"

In less than three days, His Majesty will definitely summon me. If you think you can win, you can go to His Majesty and file a complaint against me in advance, but I do not recommend that you do so.

"If you leave early, your sweetheart may die earlier. In short, everything is up to you. I won't care what you want to do."

"But I would like to kindly remind you that you must think carefully before making a decision. Otherwise, it will not be your business alone. See you off!" Ling Buhuo said directly.

After hearing this, He Zhaojun knew that he would not let her go, so he left the flower hall angrily, and after leaving the Hou Mansion, he went directly to the palace.

"Husband, why do you want to stimulate her? You should know that if you stimulate her like this, how can she have any sense? She will definitely go to the palace to sue you." Shaoshang said anxiously

"Haha, don't worry, madam. What I want is for her to sue me. If she doesn't go, it will be difficult for me to perform in this big drama." Ling Buhuo said with a smile.

"What? Is this also your husband's plan? How are you sure he will come?" Shao Shang asked.

"Because Li Xu is a smart man, even if he can't figure it out, his father must have thought that if He Zhaojun goes away, their family will be in ruins!" Ling Buhuo said

"So it turns out that all this was part of your plan? Husband, you, what are you going to do?" Shaoshang said

"Don't worry, madam. I'm fully prepared. There will definitely be no accidents. I had some doubts before, but now the last flaw has been blocked by He Zhaojun." Ling Buhuo said.

Shaoshang didn't say anything after hearing this, because she knew that her husband didn't want her to know what happened next. In this case, there was no need to ask further to avoid embarrassment later.

"Okay madam, I feel a little tired and I can rest now, what do you think?" Ling Buhuo said.

The next day soon came. Ling Buhuo's idea was correct. With He Zhaojun making trouble, His Majesty was going to summon him. Ling Buhuo straightened his clothes and then left with the edict-delivery officer.

What he didn't know was that Shaoshang had been watching his leaving back, and didn't look back until he was out of sight. At this time, her face was full of worry.

Although what happened yesterday sounded easy, she knew it was definitely not that simple, but she couldn't do anything to help, so she could only pray to God for blessing in her heart.

Just when he was worried, Ling Buhuo had already arrived in the imperial study, but His Majesty did not pay attention to him, but was minding his own reading of the memorial.

Ling Buhuo had already expected this, so he didn't panic at all. In fact, Emperor Wen had always paid attention to Ling Buhuo's actions.

Seeing that his plan failed, he stopped pretending and said directly, "Ling Zichen, do you admit your guilt?"

"Return to your majesty, I am aware of my guilt." After hearing this, Ling Buhuo knelt down and paused.

"Huh? Since you know your crime, you have nothing to say. Come on, take Ling Zichen to prison and wait for his punishment!" Emperor Wen said directly

"Wait a minute, your majesty, the crimes committed by Ling Zichen were all because of me. He was ordered by me, and I was the mastermind of this matter. Please let your majesty take action." Ling Buyi suddenly appeared and knelt down.

"Zi Sheng? What are you doing here? Who asked you to come? Who let you in!" Emperor Wen asked

"Your Majesty, with Yi Chen's skills, how can the people outside stop him?" Ling Busuo asked.

"You, you, do you really think you don't dare to punish you?" Emperor Wen was immediately furious.

He walked straight over and was about to kick him. When Ling Buhuo saw this, he naturally said quickly, "Your Majesty, brother, this is all for the safety of the country, Your Majesty."

"Hmph, that's nice to say, but who knows what your plans are?" After hearing this, Emperor Wen took advantage of the situation and stopped his kick. After all, he was not willing to kick him.

"Your Majesty, everything I said is true. This is Prince Xiao's confession. Your Majesty, please read it." After hearing this, Ling Buhuo naturally took out Prince Xiao's confession.

Upon seeing this, Emperor Wen winked, and Chang Shi Cao on the side understood, stepped forward to take the confession, and then presented it to Emperor Wen. After that, the imperial study room fell into silence.

"Bastard! What a bastard! Haven't I been good enough to them all these years? How dare he do this? How dare he!" Emperor Wen said angrily

"Your Majesty, please calm down. Your Majesty, please calm down. Please don't get angry." Cao Changshi advised.

"Hmph, wait, as far as I know, Prince Xiao was severely tortured by you. Is this so-called confession doubtful?" Emperor Wen asked after he calmed down.
