Chapter 40

Seeing Long Zhantian blocking the rain and smoke, Zhao Bingyan's smile froze, resentment flashed in his eyes, he pursed his lips, and then returned to his usual arrogance, and said slowly: "Come here, give the two of you a seat!"

At this time, Long Zhantian and Yu Suiyan noticed soldiers hiding behind the curtains on both sides at the same time, looked at each other, and slowly sat down.

Zhao Bingyan took a sip of tea and said, "Zhan Tian, ​​except for Shun Tian who is still young, the other three princes have already married wives and concubines, and you are not too young anymore, you can't stay in the barracks all the time and waste your youth! You Before my father died of illness, I never forgot about your marriage, so I married my niece to you. My niece is twenty-eight years old this year, with a beautiful appearance and a dignified manner. You and Zhantian are a perfect match. You still don’t thank me , go back and prepare for the wedding!"

Long Zhantian was frightened and angry, but his face remained calm. He stood up and said lightly: "Thank you, Queen Mother, for your concern! But Zhantian is away all year round. If he marries a concubine, it will delay others! This matter must never be done. Mother, please take it back!"

Zhao Bingyan snorted coldly, stared at him firmly, and said word by word: "The Ai family's kindness gave you the marriage. Instead of accepting the order to thank you, you evaded it in every possible way and failed the Ai family's good intentions. Could it be that the Ai family's niece is not worthy?" Do you want to come? Hmph, the imperial decree has been issued, you don't think that the Ai family will take back the decree, do you? Seeing that you are not angry, do you want to resist the decree? The Ai family advises you to think twice before acting!" With a wave of his hand, the soldiers behind the curtain appeared.

Long Zhantian looked at these soldiers without changing his face, and said with a smile: "The empress is serious! How can Zhantian look down on the empress?"

Zhao Bingyan calmed down a little, nodded, and said: "It's the best! Zhan Tian should go back and prepare to marry his beautiful wife! The niece of the Ai family will be handed over to you, you have to treat her well!"

The confrontation between the two made Yu Suiyan sweat, and now Long Zhantian was really on the fence.If Long Zhantian refuses or even gets angry, she can take the opportunity to go crazy and take him down for the crime of resisting the order; if he accepts, she can justifiably place a confidant by his side.

Long Zhantian was anxious and couldn't think of a way to get out, so he could only say in a low voice: "My mother misunderstood Zhantian. I didn't want to resist the order. The reason why I didn't accept my mother's kindness was because..." He thought for a long time, I couldn't find a reason. When I turned to look at Yu Suiyan, I gritted my teeth, hugged Yu Suiyan, and said to Zhao Bingyan: "It's because I don't like women, he is the one I like! Queen Mother, although the imperial edict is issued, But only Zhantian and the queen mother know that it is not too late to take it back now. If it spreads to the ministers tomorrow, Zhantian will not be afraid of others making fun of it, but the queen mother...so it is still..."

There was complete silence all around, except for Long Zhantian who looked at the rain with smoke guiltily, everyone else was in the process of petrification.Yu Suiyan stared at him fiercely with wide-eyed eyes, thinking about it, this was the only way to delay the attack, and slowly lowered his head, without saying a word, expressing his acquiescence.

Zhao Bingyan came back to her senses, looked at Long Zhantian, then at the rain with smoke, her face turned blue and white, and it took a long time before she could say a word, "Aijia is tired, you go down!" After that, he waved his hand and let them go down.

Long Zhantian hurriedly resigned, and left with Yuyan.

After leaving the palace of the Queen Mother, Long Zhantian let go of the rain and smoke, and with a coy look on his face, he said awkwardly: "I'm sorry, I couldn't find any reason to refuse just now, so... I didn't mean to offend you! You ..." Before he could finish speaking, he stopped talking when he sensed someone approaching.

The person who came was a middle-aged man in his 40s with a full beard. He was big and thick, with a fierce face, like a butcher. When he saw Long Zhantian, he hurriedly stepped forward to salute and smiled, "The third prince is back! Li Mingtu to you!" Greetings, third prince!"

Long Zhantian nodded at him, without speaking, turned and left with the rain and smoke.

Then Long Zhantian led Yu Suiyan to meet the current king Long Xingtian (Long Zhantian's elder brother).He was indeed a cowardly and honest man. When he saw Long Zhantian, he was so excited that he almost cried. He held Long Zhantian's hand and kept complaining to him.The rain on the side shook his head secretly with the smoke. Such a king doesn't have the air of a king at all, no wonder he is ruled by others.

After Long Zhantian comforted him, after leaving, he met the second prince, Long Yintian. This prince looked honest and honest, not as cowardly as the boss, but he didn't seem to be a shrewd person either.The two brothers greeted each other, and Long Zhantian left the palace with rain and smoke.

Back at the mansion, Long Zhantian wanted to continue explaining, Yu Suiyan shook his head, sighed and said: "You don't need to explain! I know you are forced to, and I won't blame you. Now I finally understand that you have been guarding the border all year round. It's to avoid disaster."

Long Zhantian looked at her complicatedly, and sighed: "If I had stayed in the capital, I'm afraid I would have died a long time ago."

Yu Suiyan sighed: "You are in a difficult situation! You and the Queen Mother are simply incompatible! Today you admit in front of everyone that you are a man with broken sleeves, and force her to withdraw her will, so that she cannot step down. I am afraid that the Queen Mother will be even worse. I hate you!"

Long Zhantian was silent for a while, and then slowly said: "Soldiers come to block, water comes to cover. She has always hated me, and today is not bad. If I were not a prince, if I hadn't held a heavy soldier, she would not have waited until now .”

Yu Suiyan asked: "How powerful is the Queen Mother? How confident are you in dealing with her?"

Long Zhantian said helplessly: "Her power is far greater than you imagined, and her minions are all over the court and the public. The Li Mingtu I met just now is a celebrity next to the Queen Mother, and one of her minions. Don't look at him just now. Respectfully, do you know how many loyal ministers he killed? To be honest, I am not sure, now I can only be careful and be on guard everywhere!"

Yu Suiyan looked at Long Zhantian's sad and indignant expression, and shook his head...

Not long after Long Zhantian and Yu Suiyan, Li Mingtu came in to meet the Queen Mother. Seeing the mess all over the floor and the angry Queen Mother, he stepped forward flatteringly and said, "My Queen Mother, what made you so angry?" ?”

Zhao Bingyan said angrily: "You came just in time! The Ai family has already withdrawn the imperial decree to grant marriage!"

Li Mingtu asked in confusion: "Why did the Queen Mother withdraw the imperial edict?"

Zhao Bingyan gave him a hard look, and snorted: "You still say! That Long Zhantian went all out, and even admitted that he didn't love women, but fell in love with the boy next to him. If the Ai family doesn't withdraw the edict, tomorrow he will preach Go out and say that Ai's family doesn't know the truth, and they want to marry their niece to a man with broken sleeves. The world will not make fun of Ai's family! Hmph, Long Zhantian, if this person is not eliminated, there will be endless troubles!" After finishing speaking, a flash of light flashed in his eyes Serious look.She looked at Li Mingtu on the side, and asked, "Is there any way you can get rid of Long Zhantian? Aijia can't wait!"
