From a son-in-law to a favorite of the empress

Chapter 418

Things are unpredictable. When the two looked at each other, they recalled every little bit of the past.

The first meeting in Yunzhou to discuss the royalties for "Three Kingdoms" was full of fun and mutual curiosity.

Then they experienced the riots, the fall of Lin'an Prefecture, and spent a few months in Shenjing.

Along the way, it turns out that the two have experienced a lot together.

Since they met, they have never been apart for such a long time, from March to September, a full half a year!

After looking at each other for a long time, Qu Ling, with red eyes, suddenly burst into laughter. She covered her mouth, rolled her eyes at Zhou Yuan, and said, "You are clearly alive, but you didn't know to send me a message. Even Ye Mian knew about you before me."

"Am I not as good as that old man Ye Mian in Mr. Zhou's heart?"

Zhou Yuan silently picked up the teapot and poured her tea.

His voice was calm and low: "Ye Mian has his own channels for receiving information, and he also has a large number of confidants, so he is not monitored by the Inner Court."

"The situation and position of the Qu family are quite special, and they are strictly monitored at all times. Without normal channels, I dare not take the risk of pulling you into the vortex."

Qu Ling sat down, holding the teacup with both hands, and the warmth swept over her body, making her sigh comfortably.

"Whirlpool? I've been pulled into whirlpools by you many times."

Her voice was very soft, and she murmured: "When we were in Lin'an Prefecture, you woke me up in the middle of the night and talked nonsense, asking me to help you."

"How come you are now a wanted criminal for assassinating the Holy Lord?"

Zhou Yuan said in a deep voice: "Because of a certain situation, I passively became a pawn and fell into a dangerous situation."

"Fortunately, the peace talks in Tianjin made me feel that things were weird, so I made a lot of preparations in advance, otherwise I might not be able to see you alive."

Qu Ling blinked hard and snorted: "How could such a smart person be fooled? In the end, it was not because of the beauty that he was deceived."

She looked back at the closed doors and windows, stood up, strode to the window, and pulled the curtains tightly.

Then she said, "What is the current situation like? What are your plans for the future? Tell me."

Zhou Yuan said, "Ye Mian has made preparations in advance. There will be no spies here, don't worry."

"He is also a veteran who has been in office for decades. He will not make low-level mistakes."

Qu Ling nodded and said, "So, tell me about the situation."

Zhou Yuan said, "Your Majesty used the conspiracy of the clan's foreign invaders to fake his death and get himself into the dark. I became the murderer and knew nothing about the overall situation. I could only flee in panic."

"Currently guessed I have learned part of His Majesty's plan, but it is just speculation and lacks convincing reasons. "

"I am wanted nationwide and hunted by the Jianghu. I still need to hide, and this period may be very long and will not end in a short time. After all, Donglu and Prince Fu regard me as a thorn in their eyes, and the cabinet also wants me to die, not to mention Jinyiwei Commander Qiu Ying."

"I have exposed a lot of my cards. I am still in a dangerous stage and need to continue to go south."

"Destination..."

"Yangzhou!"

The last two words were said by Qu Ling.

Her eyes were bright, and she said softly: "Zhao Cheng is the top scholar in the imperial examination and the imperial censor of salt. He has always been low-key and very smart. It is impossible that he has no power under his command."

"He is also one of the few people you can fully trust in the officialdom."

"You should go to him to discuss countermeasures, and hide in Yangzhou while alive until the matter is over."

Zhou Yuan was silent for a moment, and slowly said: "Destination, Guangzhou Prefecture."

Qu Ling's figure was shocked, and he couldn't help asking: "Why?"

Zhou Yuan said: "Speaking out means that you are being pulled into the vortex again."

Qu Ling shouted: "What are you explaining! I asked you why you went there!"

Zhou Yuan was silent for a moment, then said: "My power is there , I sowed there at the beginning of this year, and it is harvest season. "

"I have money, food, and people."

Qu Ling couldn't help but cover her ears and gritted her teeth and said, "I hate it! Why do you always change your mind! You said you would save the world! Now you tell me to follow Han Tuo's path! Why!"

Zhou Yuan smiled bitterly and said, "I'm not following Han Tuo's path, but I was used as a pawn this time, and I have to make sure there won't be a next time. Going there to strengthen myself is not to rebel."

Qu Ling sighed faintly and whispered, "Your Majesty, you are really cold."

Zhou Yuan didn't say anything, and it was because he felt the coldness that he had to take some actions.

Qu Ling played with her sleeves and suddenly said, "When I was in Shenjing, I asked you a question."

"Do you still remember what you did to me in Lin'an Prefecture?"

There was a hint ofA kind of incomprehensible light.

Zhou Yuan smiled and said, "I answered it at that time, but I don't remember it very well."

Qu Ling said, "What about now?"

Zhou Yuan said, "I haven't remembered it yet."

Qu Ling also laughed, then she suddenly stood up, walked to Zhou Yuan's side, and hugged him fiercely.

She gritted her teeth and said, "It's useless. It's useless to pretend to be stupid now. You clearly remember it, you clearly remember it, but you want me to stay out of it, right?"

Zhou Yuan smiled bitterly and said, "Ling'er, don't make trouble. The attitude of the Qu family..."

"I am a member of the Qu family, and my attitude is also the attitude of the Qu family!"

Qu Ling looked at him and said faintly, "You kissed me when we were in Lin'an Prefecture."

Zhou Yuan said, "Yes... I remember that when the time is right one day in the future, I will marry you as long as you are willing."

"Of course I don't want to."

Qu Ling sneered, "You are too self-righteous That's right, Zhou Yuan, it seems that everyone has to listen to your arrangements and follow your strategies. "

"You always think you are the leader, the one who restrains and guides us, but this girl doesn't buy your tricks."

"You want to marry me? But my family forces me to marry someone I haven't even met."

"They don't care about my feelings at all, they are so cruel."

"But I am a businessman, not a well-educated and well-behaved girl. Who is more cruel is still unknown!"

At this point, she gritted her teeth and grabbed Zhou Yuan's throat with both hands.

She grinned and said, "Don't think that you are the one who takes the lead in everything. I, Qu Ling, make my own decisions."

At the end, her face was a little flushed, but she still gritted her teeth and said, "Do you know why I checked the doors and windows? I'm afraid someone will come in."

"I want to have a bridal chamber with you here! I want to sleep with you!"

Zhou Yuan pushed her away, stood up directly, and walked out with a cold face.

Qu Ling looked at him suddenly and said loudly: "Zhou Yuan, you have only two choices, either listen to me or leave."

"If you leave, I, Qu Ling, will pretend that I have never known you in this life, that I have never seen you, and that my heart has been fed to dogs!"

"Next month is my wedding day! I will choose to get married! I have given up on myself! I, Qu Ling, will not live anymore!"

Zhou Yuan turned around and said helplessly: "Miss Qu, Miss Qu, Aunt Qu, please forgive me. In the bridal chamber here? What's in your mind? Do you have to go this far?"

Qu Ling sat on the chair and said softly: "I have had a very bad year. I am 24 years old. People at home are urging me. Even my grandfather is not on my side and started to say that I am willful."

"They persuaded me at first, then ordered me, and then forcibly kidnapped me and locked me up in the mansion."

"What about you? You went to the war, which made me worry every day."

"You came back after making merit and were made a marquis at a young age, but you never came Jinling came to me, and you clearly promised me! You made me look forward to it every day! "

"Later, there was news that you rebelled, your house was searched, and you were wanted... You made me cry every day!"

Speaking of this, she laughed and squinted her eyes and said: "Who do you think you are? Why do you rely on my liking for you to make me like this!"

"This time I won't leave you a way out. I just want to get you here. I just want to break my virginity and go home. I just want to use this attitude to tell grandpa and parents that I will support you, Zhou Yuan. They can either lose me or support you."

"I just want you, Zhou Yuan, to think about this day all the time and feel guilty and moved."

"I just want you, Zhou Yuan, to owe me for life!"

She stared at him and said word by word: "If you dare to leave, I will report you!"

"You either owe me for life or hate me for life."

Qu Ling wanted to prove with actual actions that she was the more ruthless person.
