The evil sister-in-law dressed as a yandere boss

Chapter 937 Helian Jin gets married

Pei Zhan asked Yan Zhun to find the Imperial Guards, but it would take some time for the Imperial Guards to arrive. He must find Tao Zhen as soon as possible.

Zhuangzi was not that big at first, so the two of them soon met.

Most of the assassins went to the emperor. Tao Zhen whispered: "They are looking for someone."

"Let's hide first."

Pei Zhan took her to hide in a small room in the front yard. Screams could be heard from outside from time to time, and Tao Zhen was helpless.

I don’t know how much time passed, but the Imperial Guard finally arrived belatedly and quickly took control of the situation, but the situation was not optimistic.

The emperor brought several concubines. Except for the queen and Wei Qingluan, all of them died. The emperor himself also suffered some injuries.

Pei Zhan went to see his injury, but the emperor said nothing and allowed Pei Zhan to bandage the wound. After that, he was very busy. By the time they returned to the capital, it was already the afternoon of the next day.

The emperor's assassination was a major event, and there were endless debates in the court. The results soon came to Dali Temple. The assassination was someone sent by King Nanming.

Tao Zhen felt that this result was credible. After all, those people were looking for someone at the time, and now it seemed that the person they were looking for was Pei Zhan, because Pei Zhan killed the Crown Prince of Nanming.

There was an endless debate in the court over whether to attack Nanming.

Some people think that there is insufficient evidence to prove that the assassination was carried out by King Nanming, and that the rash attack on Nanming was not fully prepared. However, some people believe that the prince of Nanming had rebelled before, and there must be the support of King Nanming behind this. They and The only thing missing from King Nanming was a piece of window paper. Now King Nanming actually dared to assassinate the emperor. It was so audacious. The battle with Nanming was a matter of time.

"Then what does the emperor mean?" Tao Zhen asked.

Pei Zhan couldn't see what the emperor meant, but...

"This assassination is not just for the emperor." Pei Zhan said suddenly.

Tao Zhen also said: "Do the concubines who died have some background?"

Pei Zhan nodded: "I suspect that the emperor took advantage of the assassination opportunity to kill people, silence them and eradicate dissidents."

Tao Zhen understood. Ji Han was so smart. During the palace change, the former emperor, the former queen mother, Yan Baiqi, Gao Guifei, mother and son were all played around by him. How could someone with his IQ be plotted against him.

In this way, he not only consolidated his position, but also eradicated his enemies, killing three birds with one stone.

Because of this assassination, the court was in turmoil for a while, but in the end it was settled. The emperor had only ascended the throne not long ago, and his foundation was unstable. It was not appropriate to send troops now.

The weather is getting hotter, but there is still no news about Pei Huan. Pei Zhan has sent people to inquire, but to no avail.

When Pei Zhan came back at night, Tao Zhen discussed with him how to escape. The two of them made several plans, and finally came up with the best one.

Although traveling by water is very fast, what they can imagine, and what the emperor can imagine, is that there must be a dragnet waiting for them on the dock.

Therefore, Tao Zhen decided to take the land route,
The land extends in all directions, and as long as the plan is good, even the emperor cannot catch them.

Ning Guogong's mansion sent an invitation, and Ning Yan was engaged. Tao Zhen looked at it specifically and saw that it was not He Lianjin, but Wei Xiaowu from the Wei family.

After all, the arm could not twist past the thigh. Tao Zhen didn't know what happened. She asked someone to inquire about it, and then she found out that He Lianjin was also engaged, and the woman was Ning Guogong's niece.That is, Ning Wan, Ning Yan’s cousin.

Tao Zhen didn't know what to say about this chaotic relationship. She planned to go see Ning Yan. She thought Ning Yan was locked up by Princess Jinghe, but it turned out not to be the case. When she came, Ning Yan was watering the flowers in the yard. She had lost a lot of weight and her cheeks were almost sunken.

"Ning Yan." Tao Zhen was a little worried about her condition.

Ning Yan looked up at her and wanted to laugh, but she couldn't.

"Tao Zhen." Ning Yan called out and felt that thousands of thoughts were blocked in her chest. Her whole heart felt like it was soaked in ice water, and she was so uncomfortable that she could not speak.

Tao Zhen walked over, held her hand, and asked, "What's wrong with you?" Ning Yan shook her head.

After a while, she said: "It's just wishful thinking on my part."

Tao Zhen was confused. Even if it was wishful thinking, why would He Lianjin marry Ning Yan's cousin even if he didn't marry Ning Yan?
Ning Yan put down the kettle for watering the flowers and asked someone to serve tea. She smiled bitterly: "I don't know why, we got along very well... That day he came to propose marriage, and I was very happy, but in the end..."

As a result, Ning Yan's anxious and excited wait was in vain. When the maid told her that He Lianjin was going to propose marriage to her cousin Ning Wan, Ning Yan thought that he was wrong and she didn't care about being reserved or not. , ran to the front to find Helian Jin.

As a result, He Lianjin told her very politely and distantly: "Miss Ning, you misunderstood. I have no intention of doing anything to you..."

Ning Yan no longer remembers what He Lianjin said later.

She grabbed him and asked, "Is there any misunderstanding?"

Helian Jin said no.

After that, He Lianjin got engaged to her cousin.

Tao Zhen sighed: "Then you and Wei Xiaowu..."

Ning Yan lowered her head and said nothing. Tao Zhen didn't know if they were angry or something, but this was the end.

She didn't know how to comfort Ning Yan, or maybe Ning Yan didn't need comfort at all, she just hadn't figured it out yet.

After talking to Ning Yan for a while, Tao Zhen said goodbye and went out. It happened that Old General Helian was unwell, and Pei Zhan was ordered to go for treatment, so Tao Zhen followed.

The Helian family is located in the aristocratic area of ​​the capital. The house is very large and was given by the late emperor. However, the environment inside is very ordinary. The warriors are not as rough as the literati, and the glory of the Helian family was all forged on the battlefield. , the people in their family know that this money is not easy to come by, and they rarely spend it extravagantly.

Old General Helian's body was mostly caused by old injuries when he was young, and it became a bit difficult when he got older. He smiled heartily, patted Pei Zhan on the shoulder and said: "Mr. Pei, I'm really sorry to trouble you. In fact, I have this kind of injury. not heavy."

Old General Helian is nearly two meters tall. Although he is old, he is very strong and has a wide palm. With one palm strike, Pei Zhan staggered two steps and laughed dryly: "Old General, thank you."

The old general added: "I think you should train hard because of your physique."

Pei Zhan silently took a few steps back and said, "Forget it because I'm busy with business..."

The old general thought the same thing and did not continue this topic, but rambled on about something else.

Tao Zhen wanted to laugh when he looked at Pei Zhan. He expected that he wouldn't be able to come out for a while, so he went out for a walk. He happened to meet He Lianjin, who was discussing marriage with his family. He hadn't seen him for a while. , Helian Jin has matured a lot, losing the youthful appearance he once had, and now looks a bit like a general.

When he saw Tao Zhen, he came over to say hello warmly.

Tao Zhen also smiled at him and said, "Congratulations."

Helian Jin was stunned for a moment, then scratched his head sheepishly and smiled.

Seeing as he is acting like this, he must really like Ning Wan. When it comes to relationships, there is no right to decide who comes first.

"When will you return to Yanbei?" Tao Zhen asked.

He Lianjin frowned, feeling a little distressed: "Grandpa asked me to stay in the capital."

Tao Zhen stopped talking.

The Helian family really needed to keep a bloodline in the capital. In this way, Princess Jing and Princess' worries were unnecessary. Unfortunately, Ning Yan and he were not destined to be separated after all.
