Husband has a sweetheart

Chapter 208 The Temptation of Power

At this moment, Zhang Yuqing thought of a lot.

The stable and happy life she had lived some time ago had made her almost forget the words of the mysterious power in her ears when she first came to this world.

The mysterious power told her over and over again that the ending of this world would not change.

If Duanshu's words today hadn't suddenly awakened her, she would have been assimilated into this world.

Maybe in another five or ten years, she will become an ordinary woman in this world. She will calmly accept her husband's remarriage, worry about her children, forget the hatred in her body, forget that she once came from another world, and there is a heart hidden inside her body. A sober and unruly heart.

Hidden in Duan Shu's seemingly calm and calm eyes was an unprecedented enthusiasm, as if she was determined that she simply could not refuse the temptation of the position of "Queen".

"Yuqing, you are the queen, Shi'er is the eldest son, the future prince, and the future emperor. You are a smart man and don't need me to say more. I am telling you this not only to say hello to you in advance, but also to let you Be prepared. You are not only Wei'er's wife, you are also Xiao'er and Shi'er's mother!" Duan Shu said, "A mother naturally wants to give her children the best. I am the same."

Zhang Yuqing closed his eyes and opened them again, looking at Duan Shu. "Lu Wei is also willing to marry Zhang Yuying?"

Duan Shu laughed, looked at the gold-plated letter on the small table, and said disdainfully: "All she wants is to continue her glory and wealth. The lion wants the position of queen, and she is not afraid of the wind. She flashed her tongue! Don’t worry, you can only think of yourself as a snake for a while, and she won’t be able to threaten you.”

Zhang Yuqing asked calmly: "I'm asking Lu Wei, is he also willing?"

"Of course I am willing." Duan Shu said, her mocking eyes seemed to say, is there any need to ask?It seemed as if what Zhang Yuqing asked was a big joke.

No one can refuse the number one position in the world, and no one can refuse the temptation brought by the supreme power. This supreme power can be passed on to future generations and stand at the top of the pyramid for generations to come.

No matter how many people started wars, shed blood and ruined the lives of tens of millions of people, they still had to climb up to that position on piles of corpses, and eventually died on the road, followed by more people.

As long as Lu Wei marries Zhang Yuying and finds a cheap son, he can make the little emperor abdicate. Not only can he ascend to this supreme position without spending a single soldier, but his peaceful ascension to the throne can leave his name in history and become a good story.

It's no wonder that Duan Shu, who spends her whole day eating and chanting in front of people, and seems to have no worldly desires, is so excited.

"I..." Zhang Yuqing took a deep breath.

Duan Shu stretched out her hand to stop Zhang Yuqing's words, and said with a smile: "I know this happened suddenly, it doesn't matter, there are still a few days before Wei'er ascends the throne, you can think about it again."

"That's ridiculous!" Zhang Yuqing straightened his back and turned to leave.

Duan Shu stopped her again and said, "There should be a lot of money deposited in Liangzhou over the years, right?"

Zhang Yuqing didn't say anything.

Duan Shu said: "You have just heard that the traitor Jin Yongxiu looted the treasury. Now that Wei'er has ascended the throne, it is time to use money. You can hand over Liangzhou's account books and inner treasury to me, and your father-in-law will escort the money." Enter Beijing."

Zhang Yuqing looked at the completely unfamiliar Duan Shu and said nothing.

Want her to hand over financial power with just one sentence?Do you think she is papery?

"You don't believe it?" Duan Shu handed Zhang Yuqing a letter, "It was written by Wei'er himself. You must recognize his handwriting!"

Zhang Yuqing took the letter. There were only a few sentences on the thin page, saying that he would send Fang Qin back to collect the silver. The signature was Lu Wei.

It is indeed Lu Wei's handwriting, with iron hooks and silver hooks, square and strong.

Zhang Yuqing held the letter and took a deep breath.

The relationship between people is so fragile. Under the huge wealth and power, all family, love and friendship seem so shallow and vulnerable.

She once thought that Lu Wei's love for her was deep and majestic, but in fact it was the same and could not withstand any test or blow.

It turns out that Lu Wei needs her, but now Lu Wei has something better.

In such a chaotic moment, Zhang Yuqing laughed inappropriately, which somewhat made Duan Shu unable to get off the stage.

Duan Shu said displeasedly: "I thought you were a smart person."

Zhang Yuqing's lips curved up, "I also thought that you and Lu Dewen would never have any contact with each other."

As a result, their common pursuit of power brought the estranged couple back together.

If Lu Wei becomes emperor, Lu Dewen will be the emperor, Duan Shu will be the queen mother, and they will still be a loving family.

There are no permanent friends and no permanent enemies.

Duan Shu's face darkened, feeling humiliated and angry.

"A wise person will assess the situation and know what is best for him. For Wei'er, what is the sacrifice I have made?" Duan Shu said coldly, "You just know how to earn some money and How about it? Your status is low and you can't get on the stage. How can you compete with the hundreds of thousands of troops in Wei'er's hands? It's up to you whether you want it or not. It's a done deal. If you don't think about yourself, you also have to think about Xiao'er and Shi'er!"

After Zhang Yuqing smiled, he sighed softly, "I know, it will be ready in the next two days, and father-in-law can escort Yinliang on the road the day after."

Duan Shu nodded with satisfaction, snorted, and emphasized her tone, "I promised that as long as you are obedient, the position of queen will be yours, and the position of prince will be Shi'er's. Yu Qing, you are a smart person, don't let it go Mother is disappointed, mother will not treat you badly." Zhang Yuqing turned around and walked out.

The scorching sun at the end of June hung scorchingly in the sky, illuminating the earth with a dazzling white color.The cicadas on the big tree in the courtyard were chirping, making her head buzz.

The little maid waiting at the door saw that her face was pale and she was walking a little unsteadily, so she worriedly stepped forward to help her.

Zhang Yuqing pushed the little maid away and shook her dizzy head, "I'm fine."

She forced herself to walk into the house and sat on the bed.

Lu Wei came back from Hanzhong. Although the two of them slept on the same bed, they had no intimate behavior.Lu Wei always restrained himself. He was afraid that she would be pregnant with a child during this period. He was away fighting outside, which would make him absent from the pregnancy and birth of the child.

That would make him feel deeply guilty and feel sorry for Zhang Yuqing and his children.

The night before leaving, Lu Wei hugged her, pressed hard against her, and gasped in her ear: "Originally, I was worried about why the fourth brother didn't come, but now that I think about it, when I come back from the expedition, It’s just the right time for her to come again.”

Zhang Yuqing reached out and covered his face.

She doesn't want to gamble on human nature, nor does she want to gamble on feelings.

The little maid thought Zhang Yuqing was suffering from heat stroke, so she hurriedly called Wang Chunniang.

When Wang Chunniang came over, Zhang Yuqing was sitting under the eaves, looking at the setting sun in the west, and held out his palms to block his eyes.

The setting sun coated her body and face with a layer of golden red, her eyes were dull, and her simple and simple tube top dress and black bun made her face delicate and clean.

It was as if these years had not left any mark on her, and she was still the cold and arrogant orphan girl she was back then.

When Wang Chunniang saw those cold eyes, her heart skipped a beat. As soon as she walked up to him, before she opened her mouth, she heard Zhang Yuqing say, "You came just in time. I have something to ask you for."

"What's the matter?" Wang Chunniang asked.

Zhang Yuqing motioned to the chair next to him and asked, "How much money is left in the treasury?"

Wang Chunniang was surprised why she suddenly asked this, but she still sat down and said: "1000 million taels upwards, the details will depend on the accounting books."

"Bring out 500 million taels tomorrow." Zhang Yuqing ordered, "Lu Dewen is going to take the money to Lu Wei."

If her prediction was correct, the money was requested by Zhang Yuying as compensation for the little emperor who was demoted to a vassal after he became a vassal.

Wang Chunniang stood up from her chair in shock, "Why does Mr. Lu need so much money? He has brought all the food and supplies for the expedition!"

"He wants to fulfill his dream." Zhang Yuqing laughed sarcastically, looking at the sunset setting on the horizon with his hands behind his back, and said coldly.

Lu Wei has his dream, and she also has hers.

On the third day, when it was still dark, Duan Shu led people to Zhang Yuqing's yard and asked through the door: "Yuqing, are you up?"

Zhang Yuqing was dreaming. In her dream, she saw Lu Wei holding a long knife and wearing heavy armor. There was a trace of blood on his handsome face. He strode into the Jinluan Palace full of corpses. His face was cold, his eyes were solemn, and he was exuding... He had a violent aura, as if no matter who stood in front of him, the knife in his hand would cut him in half.

When he was awakened by Duan Shu's voice, Zhang Yuqing recalled Lu Wei stepping on the bones in his dream and walking persistently to the dragon chair, and let out a deep breath.

She really cannot underestimate the changes that power brings to people.

Lu Wei has made great military achievements over the years, regaining lost territory, killing the barbarians in fear, and expelling Jin Yongxiu. He probably will not be willing to submit to a little emperor who is not familiar with the world.

If it weren't for the fact that she wanted to keep the power that Lu Wei shared with her so that she could continue to secretly support Sheng Guixin and the Red Lotus Sect, there would not be Lu Xiao and Lu Shi today.

Perhaps no one can resist the temptation of power.

She can't, and neither can Lu Wei.

Thinking about it this way, Lu Wei's oath of eternal love in her ear when she was in love was just that, a ridiculous statement made on a whim.

Looking back, what came to my mind was not emotion, but dullness, driven by interests hidden in helplessness.

Zhang Yuqing chuckled sarcastically and covered her eyes with her hands, as if the more she thought about the relationship between her and Lu Wei, the less sad she would be.

"Wait a moment, mother, I'll get up right now," Zhang Yuqing said.

Duan Shu felt angry in her heart, could she not be anxious?Before you get the money, everything is empty and empty.

On the surface, Zhang Yuqing promised well, but who knows if there will be any changes?
Such a smart woman, her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are naturally a good helper to him when they are focused, but now... they are too ignorant!
By the time the door opened, the sun had already risen.

Duan Shu entered the room and watched Zhang Yuqing slowly wash her face and comb her hair. She could hardly suppress her anger and clenched her fists and said, "Yu Qing, you promised before that today is the time to hand over the money to your father-in-law!"
