Chaos on the temples: You can't escape if you provoke treacherous ministers

Chapter 873 New Year's Eve

"Shen Yunzhou, Yi'er and I, there is no place for you around us anymore, don't be sentimental, let alone shameless!"

Qu Moran was obviously out of breath. He poured a glass of wine and was about to throw the teapot at him, but Liu Yunxiang hurriedly stopped him.

"Sister Qu, sit down first, and speak slowly if you have something to say."

Liu Yunxiang pulled Qu Moran to sit down, and at the same time quickly gave the pot of tea to the maidservant behind, letting her take it away.This pot of tea has just been taken off the stove, and the water is boiling hot.

Liu Yunxiang winked at Yan Mu, and the two got up and left.

Shen Yunzhou smiled while wiping the wine off his face with a handkerchief, "This Li Zhu is just another Wei Hai, are you worthy of arguing against me for such a person?"

Qu Moran became angry, "What's wrong with Wei Hai, at least he helped me when I was in the most difficult time, and I wanted to marry him at that time because of my sincerity."

"A nasty villain!"

"You've always been the one who's dirty!"

Shen Yunzhou raised his head and frowned, "None of them are good enough for you, only me."

"Back then, your despicable means made Wei Hai have a second heart. You are very proud, right? You want me to know that only you are sincere to me, but if I can't see your heart, how can I know it's true? True or false? Of course, you can still play tricks to drive a wedge between Li Zhu and me, and if he leaves me, I will admit it, but one thing, you have to be clear, I, Qu Moran, will never be with you again in this life!"

Shen Yunzhou narrowed his eyes, "I'm back, and I won't leave your mother and son again."

"When I needed you, you resolutely left. Now that Qu Xing has passed away, Yi'er has grown up, and I have recognized my mother. I don't need anyone by my side."

"Then Li Zhu..."

"I love him! It is undeniable that I fell in love with him because he appeared in my most difficult time. He helped me a lot and gave me company. But this kind of love is not a fantasy, but a real one. It is what I want of."

Shen Yunzhou clenched the wine glass tightly, his eyes turned cold, "I had no choice but to leave, why can't you understand me?"

"Why, why do you want me to understand you?" Qu Moran snorted, "If you weren't Yi'er's biological father, and you broke into my house today and made a big fuss, I would have reported to the police."

"Tomorrow, I will go to the Eldest Princess' Mansion to propose a marriage. I believe the Eldest Princess knows who is the right one."

"Whatever you want, maybe break a leg or two, and you will be awake."

After speaking, Qu Moran got up to leave.

"Mo Ran!" Shen Yunzhou called out, "I was sorry to you before, but I will repay you twice in the future!"

"If you want to repay me, then stay away from me and my life."

Qu Moran left, leaving decisively.

Liu Yunxiang went to see her off, and at the same time asked Yan Mu to accompany Shen Yunzhou.

"Sister Qu, has your wedding date with Li Zhu been set?"

Qu Moran smiled, "It's fixed, the 21st of the first month."

"Less than a month."

"Well, mother said that the title of Princess was granted a year ago, and she got married in the Princess's mansion the next year. Li Zhu prepared a house, but how did he have the money? I asked him, and he said it was given by his adoptive father."

"Sister Qu didn't ask carefully?"

"Do not ask."

"Why?"

"I think it's him."

"Well, I know something about his past. If my sister doesn't ask, I won't talk about it. I congratulate my sister for finding someone she likes, and this person is worth entrusting."

Qu Moran held Liu Yunxiang's hand, "Thank you, but..."

"You don't worry about Shen Yunzhou, do you? He always has to touch his nose to accept the fact, so let him."

"He is Yi'er's biological father after all."

"Don't worry, he's a smart guy."

After seeing off Qu Moran, Liu Yunxiang returned to the flower hall, and saw Yan Mu and Shen Yunzhou drinking wine.That Shen Yunzhou's eyes were red, and he drank one cup after another, still yelling that he must go to the eldest princess's mansion to propose marriage tomorrow.

The next day was the new year, Shen Yunzhou prepared gifts and actually went to the princess mansion.

When it was almost noon, the guards of the mansion carried him in. Not to mention his body was covered in injuries, and one leg was broken.

Shen Yunzhou leaned on the pillow and said with a wry smile: "This time it seems to be true... I really can't win back her heart."

On the day of the new year, the imperial court had an annual holiday.

In the afternoon Wu Min came and said that there were three old ministers who signed up today and asked for an order to tell them to return to their hometowns.

"These three people who have the household department and the official department are not so old-fashioned. After I persuaded them, they insisted on handing over the papers, which is clearly disappointed with the court."

"What does the emperor say?"

"approved."

Yan Mu snorted and laughed, "Since the emperor approved it, what's the use of telling me."

"Your Highness, the embankment of a thousand miles was destroyed by an ant nest. If we don't save it in time, I'm afraid there will be some turmoil in the court in the next year!"

"Master Wu, this imperial court should be in turmoil, otherwise those who sit in high positions will only think that the world is peaceful."

After sending Wu Min away, Yan Mu is still at home idling, not going out, let alone asking about political affairs.

In the twinkling of an eye, it was New Year's Eve, and Xue Changfeng came early, and Liu Yunxiang welcomed him, fearing that those two would also come, no matter how big she was, she would not be able to laugh.

"Prince Suping and his men have all left the capital, and King Qing went after him and brought him back." Xue Changfeng clicked his tongue when he said this, "Could it be because of your letter?"

Liu Yunxiang sighed slightly, Lu Changan left Beijing with his family, and returned with his family not long after, as if nothing happened.

"What did you write in that letter?"

"I just said one thing."

"what?"

"I'll give him two ways, one is to return to Beijing to help His Highness and I put down the Southern Jin Rebellion, and the other is... to die."

Qin Feishi chased him with an elite cavalry, and if he refused to return to the capital, he would be killed.As for the consequences, the Zhenbei Palace will bear it.

This was a bad idea, but under the circumstances at that time, it was the only way to do so.

When Qin Feishi was talking back and forth, he said that Lu Changan looked at the letter for a long time, and finally laughed, very loudly, like crazy, and then went back to Beijing with him.

She knew what he was laughing at, that she had no heart, that she was so cruel that she wanted to kill him.

Xue Changfeng knew about the previous friendship between Liu Yunxiang and Lu Changan, so he didn't ask further questions.

"Will King Suping and King Qing come this year?"

The corner of Liu Yunxiang's mouth twitched, "Shall I prepare two glasses of poisoned wine first?"

"Very good."

Fortunately, these two people knew how many bad things they had done this year, so they didn't come. On the contrary, Shangguan Xu and Hongxuan came, together with Shen Yunzhou who lived in the mansion, the New Year's Eve dinner was still lively.

"You are a Taoist priest, you don't talk about meditating and cultivating the Tao, you always join in the fun." Xue Changfeng knew Hongxuan well, and joked with him while drinking.

Hongxuan took a sip of wine, "This wine is good."

"Just for this drink?"

"How about I read a passage from the Tao Te Ching to cheer you up?"

Xue Changfeng quickly waved his hands, "You should drink two more glasses."

Hongxuan smiled, "Practice in the bustling world, experience joy, anger, sorrow and joy, and the warmth and coldness of human relationships, the easiest way to realize the truth."

"Then have you realized it?"

"This wine is mellow and sweet, I'll drink a few more glasses."

Xue Changfeng was stunned by him, so he simply ignored him.
