girl, you're wrong

Chapter 570

In the northern urban area of ​​Jiankang, near Xuanwu Gate.

Today's Jiankang City, compared to Cheng Jinyang's last visit, has been much depressed.

There are still sporadic outbreaks of the Puppet Plague in the southern urban area. Although they are quickly suppressed by the Habayashi Army each time, each attack has intensified the panic and flight tendency of the citizens of Jiankang.

Golems cannot be killed completely, they will be resurrected.

As for the mechanism of the monster's resurrection, no one knows the specific principle, only knows from which corner they will reappear after a period of time.

Therefore, it will be a matter of time before Jiankang City is completely abandoned like Songjiang.

Citizens fled in two directions: one was Lin'an, which is located in the hinterland of the southeast, and the other was Wuchang, which was located in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River.

Of course, some people chose to go to Jingkou City in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River. Although it is located in Jiangbei, where the surrounding situation is more dangerous, it is said that the garrison force is very strong, and the overall situation is safer.

Although the citizens have gradually moved out, the cabinet team and members of the royal family still stay in Taicheng.

They need to maintain the majesty of the city as the center of the empire before completely abandoning Jiankang.

Waiting outside the gate of Xuanwu City to be summoned by Her Majesty the Queen Mother, Cheng Jinyang remembered Wang Wanrou's words, so he called Yu Yuangui.

"Understood." Before he raised his mind, Yu Yuangui said directly, "I will clarify this matter with Your Majesty, and you can go directly to the palace after His Majesty summons you."

Cheng Jinyang:?

After hanging up the phone, he was still a little dazed.

What happened?

Wait, according to Yu Yuangui, Her Majesty the Empress Dowager changed her mind for some reason, and this matter reached Yu Yuangui's ears, so he hurriedly called to persuade the Empress Dowager again...it should be something similar.

After waiting outside the Xuanwu Gate for a while, the envoys from the palace finally arrived late.

It turned out to be my sister-in-law.

The eldest princess of Luling walked outside the palace gate, waved her hand arrogantly, and said to the guards:
"Let him in."

So the guards moved out of the way to both sides.

"Did you see it? These guards are all robots." Lu Ling led Cheng Jinyang into the palace and said at the same time.

"No wonder he just stood at the door and didn't speak." Cheng Jinyang laughed.

"As long as I give an order, they will arrest you." Luling raised his chin proudly and said.

"You want to catch me, why do you need them to do it?" Cheng Jinyang responded, "Tell your sister, can I just catch me with nothing?"

"Hmph, my sister is reluctant to arrest you." Lu Ling said angrily.

"So, who is the person who wants to arrest me?" Cheng Jinyang asked tentatively.

Lu Ling suddenly stopped talking.

"Could it be that one?" Cheng Jinyang pretended to be shocked.

"It's uncle's problem." Luling said hesitantly, "He used the country as a threat to force the queen mother to agree to let my sister marry you."

"Although the queen mother agreed to it at the time, I don't know which clan and the queen mother came into the slander later, saying that you can use the royal majesty to suppress you and force you to bow your head, so the mother is also hesitating now."

Cheng Jinyang: ………………

He was still a little guilty when he heard that, because strictly speaking, he really wasn't a qualified son-in-law.

Those who marry a princess as their first wife are called son-in-law!
Moreover, a concubine is not allowed to marry a concubine (but the princess can find a face), nor is it allowed to divorce (but the princess can ask for separation), even in the era when the imperial power was the most powerful, the candidate for the concubine must have a "clean record", and even the first love Can not have.

Although the imperial power is declining now, it is estimated that the Empress Dowager Yu in the palace will find it difficult to change her mind in a while.

To put it bluntly, I still feel very upset when I think that the princess sister will not be the main wife when she gets married.

Thinking of this, Cheng Jinyang felt a little guilty, but when he heard the "coercion" behind him, he had to sullen his face and secretly smiled.

I am in Jingkou, and I am in charge of Beifu, with all the gentry as my backing. You use the royal majesty to suppress me?

As for Miss Wang's previous reminder, he has also suddenly realized:

If he stepped into the palace rashly, he might be arrested by the repentant Empress Dowager Yu.

Then the gentry was furious, Jingkou was in chaos, and no one could say what would happen to the political circles of the upper echelons of the empire... But one thing is certain, that is, the princess sister will definitely be caught in the middle, in a dilemma.

However, after Wang Wanrou's reminder and Yu Yuangui's persuasion, Empress Dowager Yu knew what "the situation cannot be controlled", so she would not take the risk and turn the tables.

Stepping into the palace, Cheng Jinyang saw Empress Dowager Yu sitting in the upper seat, looking at him with a cold expression.

The princess sister stood beside her, showing a reassuring smile.

"Cheng Jinyang." Empress Dowager Yu asked coldly, "The first emperor made an appointment with you as soon as possible, and you also promised to marry Nankang, why do you go back on your promise now?"

Luling looked at his sister in surprise, because the queen mother originally wanted to use "the crime of deceiving the emperor" to suppress him.I don't know what method my sister used to persuade her, but now the empress mother doesn't mention the crime of deceiving the emperor, she just asks him "why do you go back on your word".

Cheng Jinyang was startled when he heard "Xiandi", then lowered his head, squeezed out a few tears, and said sadly:

"Back to Your Majesty the Empress Dowager, before Wang Chuzhong's rebellion, it is true that the minister was favored by the late Emperor and intended to bestow a son-in-law."

"It's just that not long after the rebellion was put down, the first emperor died suddenly, minister, minister..."

He soon broke down, almost weeping.

After all, I am a former depression patient, and there are many painful memories in my mind, such as losing my mind and my parents... let alone crying on the spot, I can act out crying directly.

Seeing Cheng Jinyang mentioning the late emperor, and crying sincerely, Empress Dowager Yu was also aroused for a while, and said softly:

"It is true that the first emperor left too early. Before leaving, he also said that he originally wanted to choose a son-in-law for Nankang, but unfortunately his health is already failing."

She took out her handkerchief, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and continued to sigh:

"It's just that since you have been entrusted by the late emperor, you should come to the palace as soon as possible. Can the Ai family ignore the late emperor's will and prevent you and Nankang from going through?"

Cheng Jinyang secretly slandered when he heard the words: Good guy, it sounds like it's true.

At that time, my god capital, the Cheng family, didn't even have a fifth rank. If I rashly entered the palace to propose marriage, wouldn't I be beaten out by you?

Of course, this cannot be said, so he showed a hesitant expression and said hesitantly:
"Chen, I don't know if I should speak or not..."

"It's okay to say something." Empress Dowager Yu raised her eyebrows.

"My lord, I actually went to the palace to ask for a meeting." Cheng Jinyang said in a low voice, "It was Master Zhongshu who received me and promised that as long as I performed well in Su Zigao's rebellion, it would not be impossible for me to be this son-in-law."

As soon as these words came out, Empress Dowager Yu fell silent in embarrassment.

Ganqing Xiandi's original will was actually used by her own brother as a political bargaining chip to blackmail Cheng Jinyang into serving him!
Cheng Jinyang didn't despise the royal family at all. If Yu Yuangui hadn't intervened, the marriage would have already been settled a long time ago...

"Ahem." Empress Dowager Yu coughed, and the princess sister next to her immediately handed over the teacup with interest, and said with a smile:
"Mother, don't be tired, drink some tea first to moisten your throat."
