Raiders of the Duke and Duchess

You Feng's hand holding the tea cup shook, and the tea in the cup swayed slightly and almost spilled.

For a moment, even he himself didn't know whether the thing in his chest missed a beat or was beating wildly out of order. If originally he only held three-point expectations, then at this moment, the hope in his heart was taking shape, as if it was within reach.

He slowly looked at Ji Wuyan, a little scrutinizing, a little doubtful, but just the last bit of reason. He could hear the clamor in his heart and asked her! Ask her why she is so sure! Suppressing this mood, he lowered his voice and asked Ji Wuyan, "Even so, Chen Yinuo is also a member of the Chen family. He and Chen Jiahui are a community of interests. They are grasshoppers on a rope. Why does the girl think that he would propose it?" Such a request?"

"Probably because..." Ji Wuyan didn't play riddles and took it calmly, "I naturally won't boast in front of Mr. You about things that I can't guarantee. I just went to see Mr. Chen on the way to Dali Temple. Mr. Chen is well aware of his young master's physical condition, and with his chivalrous heart, he cannot bear the girl's family to become a victim of his own interests, so he expresses his willingness to help."

"despair."

It was the sound of the cup lid brushing against the edge of the cup. It was a slight sound, but it was clearly audible in the quiet room. The heartbeat in his ears was beating like a drum. He didn't know how close Ji Wuyan and Chen Yinuo were to each other. How could he make such a convincing guarantee? But thinking about the other person's residence and the Chen family's miracle doctor, he somehow... ...I always feel that this is a little more believable.

What if?
  "What if?" he asked, "What if Mr. Chen turns against him and is unwilling to help? What if everyone in the Chen family is ultimately helpless in the face of this epidemic? What will happen then?"

The girl looked back quietly. After hearing this, she just shook her head slightly and said firmly, "There is nothing wrong. I know the scandalous things about the Chen family, so I can guarantee this, but I cannot tell Mr. You about these things clearly. After all, it is someone else's housework. As for the latter, if the Chen family can't do anything, you know your Majesty's temper better than I do. When the emperor is angry, millions of corpses will be buried. It is uncertain whether the emperor will be angry, but he will definitely express his anger. When the time comes, don't If you say this is a gift of marriage, the status of the Chen family will plummet and the glory will be hard to recover."

The little girl sat there, looking even more petite under her large cloak, huddled in a small ball in the chair, with her hands clasped around the hand warmer, looking extremely precious. Just the way he smiled with his eyebrows lowered sent a chill down one's spine for no reason.

Then I heard the little girl say, "What's more... everyone will be in danger during the epidemic. To be honest, it's still unclear whether they can survive." The words were gentle, and the smile at the corners of his eyes was cold.

You Feng was slightly startled. At that moment, for some reason, he suddenly had the illusion of seeking the skin of a tiger. He trembled all over. He suddenly remembered that the person sitting in front of him was a real fox. , the seductive fox.

He held the tea cup in his hand, lowered his eyebrows and remained silent.

As the saying goes, when you are sick, you seek medical treatment indiscriminately, but only patients know that the most terrifying thing is not that you seek medical treatment indiscriminately, but the most despairing thing is that there is no medical treatment available!

My own daughter has been pampered and pampered since she was a child. Although her temper is indeed a bit spoiled, she is generally gentle and has never harmed anyone. She only wants to marry Ningguo Gongfu. For Ning Xiuyuan, he did all the stupid things he should do and shouldn't do, but God didn't fulfill his wishes. That's all. With the You family's family background, even if she can't find a satisfactory one for her, life will not be difficult. Unexpectedly, a decree of marriage came from heaven. Lingxi blamed them as parents for not doing anything for the sake of face and status, but she didn't know that they had already found, begged, and thought of the people they could find, the people they could ask for, and the solutions they could think of, but it was an imperial edict. It is an imperial edict stamped with a jade seal and announced to the world! When the rumors about the Chen family spread, You Feng really thought that God was taking pity on his daughter and that this marriage would definitely not happen.

Unexpectedly, the epidemic broke out, and salvation turned into an abyss.

If it were said before, he had almost convinced himself. Thinking about the number of princesses and princesses who have married far away since ancient times, and which one of them was really happy and willing to go there? Compared to these, the Chen family is located in the south of the Yangtze River, which is not a bitter cold place or a wilderness. , Lingxi really married, although Young Master Chen did nothing, but he was better at being able to figure it out. As long as the You family did not fall, no one in the Chen family would dare to embarrass the princess.

But now I can't get married no matter what... If I get married, I will be a widow! Putting aside the lack of face, the little girl's family has been guarding an inhumane man all her life. How could their family, Lingxi, endure that kind of life!
  What Ji Wuyan said does make sense.

But... he looked at Ji Wuyan, "There is indeed nothing wrong with what Miss Ji said, but she is young after all... I can do these things even without the girl. Even if I can't convince Chen Yinuo, but The prince and Prince Pingyang, I think the girl can promise to Mr. Chen, and the two princes should be able to... The prince is grounded, so he must be in great need of manpower at this moment."

When the words fell, the other party was not surprised at all, and even smiled leisurely, combing his broken hair at the temples, and then said with a smile, "You can't."

"Huh? Why not? Helping the girl, even if it can solve the immediate problem of this officer, can only solve this immediate problem. Instead, it will need to offend the East Palace and sow long-term disaster." After a moment of calmness, You Feng He was no longer just the anxious father who sought medical treatment, but also Lord Qingyou of Dali Temple. He looked at the girl below and reminded himself that this girl who was about the same age as his daughter was a man-eating fox. He asked in a deep voice, "On the contrary, If I cooperate with the prince, I can not only solve the urgent need, but also become a loyal minister."

"Why not?"

The other party's probing words seemed a bit unintelligent.

"If Mr. You really thinks so, then it can only be said that Mr. Ning still doesn't know people well after all... Mr. You might as well give it a try and see if His Highness the Crown Prince can persuade Mr. Chen to influence Princess Lingxi on your behalf. The wedding is not in a hurry. You have plenty of time in these two days." Ji Wuyan was too lazy to pull the hand warmer and raised it, saying, "My hand warmer is cold, take my leave."

After saying that, he stood up, walked two steps and then thought of something. He turned around and reminded, "Oh, there is one more thing that the daughter of the people needs to remind you. This so-called transaction must be profitable for both parties. Your Excellency is delaying here." As time goes by, I can’t get what I want from you, so this deal can’t be negotiated... If you hit a wall with His Highness, there is no need to come here to look for a common girl.”

After saying that, he nodded with a smile and turned around calmly.
