Chapter 540 Outbreak
Lian Yufeng looked at Su Yiqing and looked at him without saying a word.
Even the air inside the house seemed to solidify, and there was no wind outside the window, which was very dull.
Su Yiqing had no intention of speaking again, and just sat relatively speechlessly. She didn't know if this was anger with the other party or if she really couldn't find a suitable one, so she could only remain silent.
Today, the two of them must be in the same bad mood. Maybe they need to understand many things. There is a hesitant and cowardly side in her personality, so let him make a decision and break the deadlock and see what he wants.
"It turns out that in your mind, I am such a person who can sacrifice my beloved for the sake of profit." Lian Yufeng murmured, a look of injury flashing in his eyes.
Su Yiqing couldn't help but soften her heart and sighed softly, "It's not like this... It's just that sometimes people are forced by the situation and have to give up. If it were everyone's same, it would always be difficult to achieve both. Perhaps the days we spend together are still very short and do not understand each other. Sometimes, even if we spend more than ten years together, we may not be able to understand a person, let alone that people are fickle. The person we knew at the beginning will gradually change and become strangers, and no longer the way we knew at the beginning."
"Why did you choose me?" Lian Yufeng asked this.
Su Yiqing was stunned for a moment. She seemed to be saying the opposite. He chose her at the beginning. She had worshipped him twice, but she could not make a choice every time.
"You could have another choice at the beginning." Lian Yufeng said, "I know you are good at it. You are not an ordinary weak woman. You can have another choice. Since you care so much about true love, why did you agree to such a marriage?"
"This is not my choice." Su Yiqing whispered, "I had the reason why I had to marry."
"But you have other opportunities." Lian Yufeng seemed to be suggesting something.
Su Yiqing was stunned again. Realizing that Lian Yufeng's words meant, he was hinting that she could choose someone else, she couldn't help but smile bitterly, "What else can I choose? A stubborn girl doesn't serve her second husband, I'm not a stubborn girl. But I mind what the nonsense thinks. I don't think I'm worthy of someone with good conditions, and I don't want to make do with those with poor conditions."
"Do you think he will mind?" Lian Yufeng asked tightly.
Su Yiqing lowered her eyes, avoided his gaze, and then raised her eyes again after a long time. When she met his eyes, she asked softly: "I think you mind now, you mind the time you and I have been missing. I had this feeling a long time ago, but I just didn't dare to face it."
Lian Yufeng said: "I mind. My wife, the one I love, has paid so much for another man, but she does not ask for any reward. She is always suspicious of her husband."
"You really know my past." Su Yiqing really felt that it was ironic. She tried every means to hide things. It turned out that the other party had known for a long time that she was just stealing the bell.
Lian Yufeng was not avoiding it and said bluntly. "Yes, I know that Zhao Boyang can rise again. You helped him a lot, and after he gained a foothold, he retired. How can a woman give this to a man? How can others think about it?"
"If I were still innocent, I would marry him." Su Yi was not vague, "We missed it with him, but it was not what you thought. Human relationships are very strange. He is a good person and a gentleman, but at least for me, we missed it before we even started. After that, we each had their own lives. Although there was another possible opportunity, if we were to be together, someone had to give up something. I don't want him to give up, and I don't want to be wronged. Let this relationship that has not yet begun end at the most perfect stage. In this way, in each other's hearts, we will all be perfect."
"You still didn't say why didn't you choose him at the beginning?" Lian Yufeng pressed step by step.
Su Yiqing didn't want to tell Empress Xu, Mrs. Zhou and others, so she could only say: "You made such a marriage request. If I didn't marry, I would be the culprit of the breakdown of the relationship between the two countries. I wouldn't be willing to bear such a crime. In addition, you are also a man with excellent conditions. Most women in the world dream of husband candidates. I don't feel wronged to marry you."
"That was it back then? What about now? Do you feel wronged now? You think I am a despicable man." Lian Yufeng said a little ridiculed.
"No..." Su Yiqing was a little embarrassed, or she actually didn't think so in her heart, saying, "I mean I really didn't think so. Your background and your identity determine many things, and they are involuntarily. Maybe it's my own problem. I'm not suitable to be the Princess Ding. At first I felt that I was not suitable, and I couldn't help you with anything. Even the princess should do and the most basic social engagement. If you marry an ordinary lady from a famous family, you might be much more relaxed now."
"A lady from a famous family." Lian Yufeng shook his head and chuckled, "What kind of lady from a famous family? Does Ning Ya'er count like this? There is also the one who was recently sent by Ru Niang, or the ones you have seen before, Dong Guifeng, Princess Xiuwen, etc., and the ladies of the Hu family. These are all lady from a famous family. Do you think I'm suitable to marry that?"
Su Yiqing couldn't say it anymore. In fact, these women didn't see any major problems at the beginning. It was just that after some things came out, it was really unacceptable. They were also very old and not very familiar with the world. They looked smart and clever on weekdays. But the more they did, the more they did something, it was hard to be guarded against.
"Or or do you think they all like to plot against people's hearts, so it's more suitable for me to be with them?" Lian Yufeng sarcastically again.
The topic seemed to be a bit far-reaching, and Su Yiqing could only say: "No, I just think... there will always be a more suitable person, at least suitable than me."
"Average women are afraid they died that night by the assassin's knife." Lian Yufeng said lightly, "It's not just that time. Many times, if it weren't for you, there would be many chances of death if it weren't for you. Before I met you, the reason why I stopped marrying a wife was because I knew that ordinary and weak women could not resist all kinds of plots. I thought we were very suitable."
Su Yiqing's eyes showed a deep sadness, "But we don't know each other, or we all have some privacy that we don't want each other to know and can't be honest. Our marriage is like walking on thin ice, so it's hard to continue."
"I believe that as long as you are willing to work hard, you can get through the difficulties." Lian Yufeng looked deep in Su Yiqing's eyes, "It depends on whether you are willing to work hard."
"I think it's hard for me to do what you expect." Su Yiqing said without dodging at all this time. "Just like the assassin you asked, I can only say, I have nothing to say."
"Do you still have to keep a secret for someone who wants to kill you?" Lian Yufeng was very puzzled, "Do not hesitate to affect our husband-wife relationship?"
Su Yiqing pursed her lips and said nothing, there was something she really couldn't tell.
However, if the Yancheng Prefectural Order Zhu Ying really caught Su Yirong and others, there was no need to hide this matter. But she did not say it at this time.
Because she didn't know Su Yirong's purpose and was not sure that Zhu Ying really caught the person, she remained silent.
"I hope we will have a day to be honest with each other." Lian Yufeng glanced at Su Yiqing deeply, and then slowly turned around and left.
Just as soon as he left, Su Yiqing fell on the chair and couldn't stand up for a long time. The dispute that originally thought was about to break out was at the last moment. He gave up.
Everything has been buffered, at least not need to be solved immediately now.
...
Lian Yufeng walked out of the main courtyard.
He immediately ordered someone to pass on the message to Zhu Ying and asked Zhu Ying to come to see him secretly.
Zhu Ying thought he had been waiting for him, and he came soon.
As soon as they met, Lian Yufeng asked, "Mr. Zhu, you said you had caught the assassin who broke into the palace's villa. Where is the assassin now?"
Zhu Ying had thought of various solutions before, and it depends on whether Lian Yufeng knew the truth. Now, when Lian Yufeng asked this, I don’t know if it was a test or really didn’t know.
He could only think that Lian Yufeng didn't know and replied, "Returning to the prince, the Xiaguan actually did not catch the assassin, but just found the assassin's body."
Just found the corpse, Lian Yufeng frowned, "I just found the corpse. How can I determine that this is the assassin who broke into the Ding Prince's Mansion?"
Zhu Ying said: "There is a secret letter left by the assassin. The assassin was seriously injured and was silenced by his companions. He thought he was unwilling to die, so he left a secret letter, explaining the whole story. Only then did his subordinates learn about it."
"Where is the secret letter?" Lian Yufeng asked again.
Zhu Ying hesitated for a moment. The secret letter was not delivered to the princess, or the princess did not tell the prince, how should we say these two different answers?
He had thought about this situation before, but after thinking about it, there was no proper way. If it was not delivered to the princess, it would be possible to solve it. But if it had been delivered to the princess and the princess did not inform the prince, there would be some problems.
The reason why the assassin assassin assassin killed the princess was not explained in detail in the letter. Naturally, Princess Ding had some involvement with these people, or these people had the reason to have to kill Princess Ding.
No matter which one, it seems that it is not easy to say.
Not daring to hesitate too much, Zhu Ying gritted his teeth and simply said bluntly, "The secret letter was sent to the Ding Prince's Mansion and handed it to the princess. However, the way the person who sent the letter might be transferred may be a problem, and it may not be delivered to the princess."
Lian Yufeng had the answer in his heart. The letter might have been in Su Yiqing's hands, but she didn't say it and asked again: "You still remember what is written in the letter, right?"
"Of course," Zhu Ying said, "How can the officials forget such a major matter?"
As he said that, Zhu Ying recited the letter without leaving a word.
Lian Yufeng frowned.
So that's it. He knew Su Yiqing's abnormality. Maybe he was really careless and didn't notice her uneasiness. It turned out that her sisters were here and even had someone assassinate her.
It is understandable that she is unwilling to tell this matter, after all, such a thing is really hard to say.
According to the assassin, he made his own decision. Su Yirong didn't know that it might not be her commander, or a sister-in-law. Even if it was Su Yirong's commander, she didn't want to pursue it.
Since the other party can assassinate her once, maybe there may be a second time. At this time, you still have to pay attention to the safety of the mansion, especially around Su Yiqing, arrange more experts to avoid anyone entering again.
But the most urgent thing at the moment is not this one, but why did Su Yirong come to Yancheng? Or why did she come early? Shouldn’t she still be halfway with the Dajing Envoy?
I heard that after the Dajing envoys were frequently assassinated, there were heavy casualties and injuries. The female members in the envoys were even more frightened and fell ill and could not get on the road. Therefore, the Dajing envoys had no choice but to stop halfway.
Why did Su Yirong, who should have recovered from injuries in a small town, appear in Yancheng with a group of masters?
He was still so sneaky, afraid that others would know their whereabouts, so he would definitely have a lot of stuff. Even Yufeng couldn't figure it out for a moment, so he said to Zhu Ying: "I understand, don't make any statement about this. If you ask the people below to secretly investigate the whereabouts of this group, don't alert me if you find anything."
"Yes, Prince." Zhu Ying didn't really want to interfere in this matter. He was eager to pretend that he didn't know anything. This way of dealing with him is better now.
Just wait for Zhu Ying to leave.
Lian Yufeng sat alone for a while, thought about it, and came to Su Yiqing's room again.
Su Yiqing seemed a little surprised. How did he come in a short period of time, but he just didn't say anything.
Even Yufeng didn't beat around the bush and asked directly: "What's the purpose of Su Yirong coming to Yancheng?"
Su Yiqing was holding a cup of tea in her hand, but when she was asked suddenly, her hand trembled for a moment, and then said, "I don't know."
"You really don't know?" Lian Yufeng narrowed his eyes, and another dangerous light flashed in his eyes.
"If you think I deliberately kept it from you, just continue to think so, I have nothing to say." Su Yiqing was really tired, and she didn't want to be on guard against each other, or she didn't want to do anything so hard anymore.
Lian Yufeng said: "My intuition tells me that you have something to hide from me and it is important. This is not a matter between us and our wife, it is related to the relationship between the two countries."
"So, this is another inappropriate place for both of us. If we are not my race, our hearts will be different." Su Yiqing was very helpless. "If you think there is something that may harm you, I really can't defend myself. There are some things that have no evidence, and I can't prove my innocence."
"Yancheng Prefectural Gong Zhu Ying said that he had a secret letter delivered to you." Lian Yufeng asked again, "Where is the letter? Why not pass it on to me."
