Everything starts from Menghualu

Chapter 235 Getting what you want

"I say Prince Xiao, do you think I still need to lie to you now that you've reached this stage? You are just meat on the pallet now, I can do whatever I want."

"Actually, if you really want to talk about it, the reason why your father rebelled was thanks to Fan Chang. Without Fan Chang's failure, King Yong would not have taken action so quickly."

"Okay, I've made everything clear to you. It's time for me to go back and rest. You can just wait here with peace of mind until His Majesty comes back to express his feelings." After Ling Buhuo said that, he turned around and left.

"No, don't leave. Ling Buhuo, you can't leave. I said it. I said it. I told you everything I know. You can't leave. Please don't leave. Please listen to what I have to say." Xiao Shizi shouted.

"It's so noisy, Lu Cheng. You record it here. Write down everything he said, and then ask him to sign it. I'll go back and take a nap first, ah. I'm so sleepy." Ling Buhuo said

When Xiao Shizi saw that Ling Buhuo had really left, he put aside the last doubt in his heart and broke down and told everything. Naturally, Lu Cheng recorded everything.

Xiao Shizi talked for half an hour, and then slowly stopped. Seeing that he stopped talking, Lu Cheng handed over the recording paper directly.

Xiao Shizi looked at the words above, and a trace of confusion flashed between his brows. He knew that he still had a chance now, and he still had a chance to directly destroy this confession.

But he couldn't make up his mind for a moment, so he looked at Lu Cheng, and at this time Lu Cheng said, "I say Prince Xiao, can you stop entertaining me?"

"What? Are you regretting what you said and want to ruin it? You must not tell me that it is true, otherwise you will suffer."

"After all, I disturbed my Marquis's sleep. If I didn't have this thing, I would be beaten. You have to think about it. If the Marquis asks someone to hit me once, I will have someone hit you ten times."

After hearing this, Prince Xiao finally made up his mind and signed the confession. After Lu Cheng got the confession, he left directly.

However, he did not go too far, but went directly to the next cell. He saw that there was no prisoner in the cell at this time, only a scribe.

Lu Cheng winked at the other party, then took what the clerk handed over, left the prison, and returned to the public room not long after, but Ling Buhuo had been waiting for a long time.

That's right, Ling Buhuo, who was supposed to go back to sleep, was waiting for Lu Cheng to come back in high spirits.

"Master Marquis, I am fortunate to have lived up to my fate. I remember this copy, and this one belongs to the scribe. I compared it before, and there is basically no difference." After Lu Cheng said this, he handed over the confession.

After Ling Buhuo took the confession, he slowly read it. It didn't take long for a smile to appear on his face, and the smile became brighter and brighter.

"Hahaha, I finally got it. It's not in vain for all my troubles. Okay, let's go back to sleep. I can finally have a peaceful sleep tonight." Ling Buyu said happily.

Time soon came to the next day. At this time, He Zhaojun was sitting opposite Li Xu with a serious look on his face.

"What? Zhaojun, did I hear you correctly? You, are you really willing to marry me?" Li Xu asked back

"Yes, I can indeed marry you, but the condition is that you let Ling Buhuo let Prince Xiao go. As long as Prince Xiao leaves the Tingwei Mansion, I will be engaged to you." He Zhaojun said

"Huh? Zhaojun, I can agree to this condition, but although I like you, we will never get engaged later."

"After all, even if my family and Ling Buyi are allies, it's just my Li family. If I want to fish people out, the price will be very high. Zhaojun, you just want me to save people with empty words."

"Don't tell me whether I agree or not, even my father can't agree? So Zhaojun, what do you think we should get engaged first? Then I will have an explanation to my father." Li Xu said

"What? Get engaged first? No, no, how can it be done? What if you don't save people after we get engaged?" He Zhaojun immediately refused.

"Zhaojun, I've said it before, it's not that I don't trust you, it's that I don't have the dignity to take someone out of Ling Buhuo's hands."

"I can only ask my father to come forward and let him negotiate with Ling Buhuo, but I need a justifiable reason to let my father go to negotiate. Do you understand Zhaojun?" Li Xu said seriously.

After hearing this, He Zhaojun didn't know what to do for a while. After all, this was completely different from what she expected, but she felt that what Li Xu said made sense.

After all, how could a playboy like Li Xu accomplish such a big thing? That would definitely require Hou Xiuyuan to come forward.

"Well, then, I promise you, you can get engaged first, but after the engagement, you have to rescue Prince Xiao." He Zhaojun gritted his teeth and said

"Okay, I understand, don't worry Zhaojun, as long as we are engaged, I will have a reason to beg my father, and Ling Buhuo will definitely give my family face." Li Xu said

"Okay, then let's make an agreement. You can have people come to my house tomorrow." He Zhaojun said

"Okay, okay, okay, Zhaojun, don't worry, I will definitely go tomorrow. By the way, Zhaojun, in order to make our engagement appear more real this time, I want to invite the prince here and ask him to be a witness."

"Lest you regret it later. After all, I don't want to end up like Lou Yao. If I rescue someone, I won't be able to bear it if you do it again." Li Xu said

"You, what do you mean? Do you not believe me?" He Zhaojun asked

"Zhaojun, it's not that I don't believe you, it's that I don't believe that pretty boy. After all, his ability is not low. I have to be on guard." Li Xu wondered.

"You, this is simply unreasonable. Just forget it if you don't want to agree, hum!" He Zhaojun said dissatisfied

"Zhaojun, you have to understand my difficulties. You have to know that I can't hide my request for help this time. I won't have to worry about my reputation by then."

"If anything happens to me at that time, I won't be able to live. Anyway, Zhaojun, what if you agree? Then the matter will be settled."

"What if you don't agree? Then forget it, I love you very much, and I am willing to be a fool, but I can't just think about myself. Behind me there are Xiuyuan Marquis Mansion and Zhongshui Marquis Mansion."

"It's okay if I don't want fame myself, but my father and my uncle still want fame, so I have to do this. I hope you understand me, Zhaojun." Li Xu said seriously

Seeing the serious look on Li Xu's face, He Zhaojun knew that he was serious, and now she was in trouble. After all, this so-called engagement was fake from beginning to end.

She wanted to be with Prince Xiao after all, but what if the prince really showed up?

So she didn't speak for a while, and Li Xu didn't mean to urge her. He just waited quietly, waiting for He Zhaojun to speak. Time passed slowly. After an unknown amount of time, He Zhaojun finally spoke,

"I, I promise you, but I want to see Prince Xiao again." He Zhaojun said

"Well, I can only say that I will try my best. As for whether Ling Buhuo will give me this face, I don't know." Li Xu said

"Okay, then you go and give it a try. You can tell me when you get the results. It has been a long time since it came out today, so I will go back first." After He Zhaojun finished speaking, he stood up directly.

When Li Xu saw this, he naturally wanted to send the person out. After He Zhaojun got on the carriage and walked away, a strange smile appeared on Li Xu's face.

Then he didn't waste any time and went straight out and went straight to Tingwei's mansion.

"Huh? You're here so quickly. It seems like there are results?" Ling Buhuo asked.

"That's right, I came over just after I sent someone away. She asked me a difficult question. He actually wanted to see Prince Xiao. Don't you think it's ridiculous?" Li Xu laughed at himself.

"I said, why do I always feel that something is different about you? Isn't it because you are stimulated? Let me tell you, if you have any new ideas, you must tell me." Ling Buhuo said

"Don't worry, there's nothing new. As I told you before, I will ask the prince to be a witness, but are you sure that thing can be done?" Li Xudao

"Don't worry, I definitely have a way to help you out of this trouble. You're here just in time to tell you the good news. That pretty boy has already taken care of him." Ling Buhuo said.

"What? Is it so fast? You still have a way." Li Xu said

"Okay, let's not use this trick between us. Now that everything is ready, we only need Dongfeng. When you go back here, you must not be too happy and continue to play the trick." Ling Buhuo said

"Don't worry, I know what to do. Okay, you go about your business first. I'll leave first. Am I just waiting for your good news?" Li Xu said

"Haha, you should worry about yourself. Now there is only one final step left. Don't make any mistakes, otherwise it will not be fun." Ling Buhuo said

"Okay, just keep your heart in mind. Nothing will happen." Li Xu left after saying that. Ling Buhuo looked at Li Xu's leaving back and shook his head with a smile.

After Li Xu came out, he went directly to He Mansion. When he arrived, He Zhaojun had just returned home. When he learned that Li Xu was coming, he hurried out to see him.

"Zhaojun, thank you for your hard work. Let me tell you some bad news. I just went to Tingwei's Mansion. Ling Buhuo didn't give me face. You won't be able to see this person." Li Xu said

"What? Why? Wasn't it OK last time? Why isn't it working now?" He Zhaojun said

"Zhaojun, last time, Ling Buhuo spoke very clearly. He also reminded me just now that if there is no result, don't go to him again."

"So Zhaojun, I'm afraid you won't be able to see him before we get engaged, but don't worry, as long as we get engaged, there will be a result and you can see him." Li Xu said

"Well, that's all we can do now. You've been busy all day. Go back and rest quickly. I still have something to do here." He Zhaojun said

"Ah, okay, okay, you are busy, you are busy, I will leave Zhaojun first." After Li Xu finished speaking, he stood up and left.

After he left, He Zhaojun's expression changed, because she knew that this time it might not be Ling Buhuo's problem, but Li Xu's problem.

He didn't want him to see Prince Xiao, so these were just excuses, but she knew there was nothing she could do. After all, there was no one else who could help her now.

Li Xu moved quickly. As soon as he returned home, he went directly into his father's study.

"Father, I'm back. Things have been settled. Zhaojun agreed." Li Xu said

"Oh? Did you agree? Yes, yes. Then I will ask your mother to go to He's house tomorrow, and I will also write a letter to Feng Yi County. This will be faster." Li Zedao

"Father, what I'm worried about now is whether Ling Buhuo will fulfill his promise? After all, will he really give us such an important position?" Li Xu said

"You don't need to worry about this. Whether he gives it to us or not, we will still be profitable. After all, it is now clear on every mountain."

"There are many people here who had their own thoughts back then and hated our three families. Do you really think your Uncle Wan died of illness?"

"Our three families are in danger now. After this time, we can put our relationship with Ling Buyi in the open. This is a talisman." Li Zedao

"It's the father. The son understands. The son will prepare now." Li Xu bowed and said

Starting from the next day, the entire Li family began to get busy. The news that Li Xu of the Li family was getting engaged to He Zhaojun spread out.

They were already a little shocked when they heard that the Li family actually asked the prince to be a witness. Now they were completely dumbfounded. After all, He Zhaojun had been engaged to the Lou family before.

Taifu Lou is also the confidant of the prince, in this case. The Li family actually went to see the prince as a witness, which had to make them doubt the Li family's true intentions.

At this time, Ling Buhuo returned to Chengyang Hou Mansion in a happy mood.

"Oh my son, do you even know you're coming back? Do you know you're going to get married soon? Why are you so busy every day? You don't know you're coming back."

"I'm telling you, since everyone is back, don't leave before you get married." Chunyu said directly

"Mom, aren't we just getting married? With you here, I can rest assured that there is no need for me to be busy." Ling Buhuo said

"Nonsense, why is it unnecessary? Don't talk nonsense to me. Anyway, I told you that if you want to successfully marry Shao Shang back, don't leave in the next few days." Mrs. Chunyu said.

"Okay, okay, I promise you. I promise you, isn't it enough?" Ling Buhuo said

"Hmph, that's pretty much it. Okay, hurry up and come with me to try on the wedding dress." Chunyu said

In the following time, the Li family was busy getting engaged, while the Ling family was busy getting married. Time passed like this day by day. A few days later, the engagement of the Li and He families was finally completed.

At this time, Li Xu was not happy, because after the engagement was completed, He Zhaojun blocked him in the room and asked him when he would be released.

"Zhaojun, don't be anxious about this matter. Don't worry, I will definitely do what I promised you. However, Ling Buhuo is busy with getting married these days."

"If you ask him to let his enemy go now, isn't that going to cause trouble for him? So just wait a few more days. After he gets married, I will ask him to let him go." Li Xu said
