The Prime Minister's delicate wife can control her husband

"Send someone to Fangzhou County to inquire about the news first." Yan Sheng cautiously instructed Chief Steward Geng with narrowed eyes.

"How about I go to the capital to meet the teacher?" Song Fengren asked after thinking for a moment.

Hearing what Song Fenren said, Yan Lang shook his head, "You can't go! The situation in the capital is still unclear. If you go, I'm afraid you will be trapped. Let's discuss it after Manager Geng comes back."

Yan Sheng returned to the new house. Mao Lan stood at the door, carefully looking at Yan Lang's current expression.

In all the time she had been in the Yan Mansion, she had never seen Yan Lang look so thoughtful and sad.

Not long after, there was a knock on the door from outside by Manager Geng. "Master, I have something important to report."

"Come in!" Yan Lang pulled his arm and asked nervously, "Has Fangzhou County also heard this?"

"It is true. Now the troops of Fangzhou County are ready to evacuate. The people above have issued an order to give up all the counties south of Jinzhou County..."

After hearing Manager Geng's narration, Yan Lang frowned. He had no idea what the teacher was going to do next.

"You, go down first."

Yan Lang pulled out a piece of oil paper from the drawer and wrote on it, then blew a whistle, "Take it to Governor Liu!" After stroking the pigeon's head, it flew away in a daze.

"Are you in any trouble?" Jiao Niang asked softly.

"Jiao Niang, help me analyze why you and your enemy suddenly formed an alliance?"

After hearing Yan Lang's words, the smart Zhang Jiaoniang understood what he was worried about, "I think we have common interests?"

"Benefits?" Yan Sheng realized that she was answering his previous question.

He frowned and said, "Do you think there will be any benefit? What benefit can there be in serving different people?"

Jiao Niang looked at her, her head shook as she asked in a babbling voice, "Can't it be for yourself? Can you only work for your own organization?"

Yan Sheng's face darkened, he put down his purple jade pendant and said, "For myself? They are both in high positions and it is easy for them to do things for me. There is no need to be so friendly on the surface."

Jiao Niang said: "That means they have a common enemy. Only when they have a common enemy will they temporarily form an alliance. Once the enemy is defeated, they will immediately start to clean up the remnants."

Yan Sheng frowned even more tightly: "That makes sense..."

Jiao Niang looked at him seriously, "What's the reason? Can you tell me?"

"I won't tell you for now. You'll understand once I figure it out."

The carrier pigeon flew to Jinzhou County, which was close to the capital. Liu Dong knew what happened in the capital faster than Yan Sheng and immediately sent a letter.

Liu Xueyi saw Yan Sheng's instructions and said, "How is that possible? He asked us to properly entertain the owner of the Green Jade Tower named Wu Jingui."

When Liu Dong heard what Liu Xueyi read out, he tightened his grip and said, "Do as he says."

After receiving Liu Dong's message, Yan Lang saw the first few words and called Jiao Niang over, "Madam? Can you help me analyze what this sentence means? Write it down!"

Jiao Niang stared at the contents of the letter and immediately wrote it down. Yan Lang also picked up his pen to write down his answer and opened Jiao Niang's oil paper.

"Humph!"

He chuckled, "It seems the problem still lies with Zhou Tong."

Jiao Niang's answer was about the power in the palace. What Yan Lang wrote was roughly the same as hers, regarding the power issues in the palace.

"Come with me to Zuiyan Tower, and I'll tell you an interesting story on the way." Yan Lang pulled Jiao Niang out the door.

"me......"

The pretty girl in plain clothes was pulled into the carriage by Yan Lang.

In the carriage, when Jiao Niang heard that the late prince of Da Zhou was still alive and well in Da Wu, she immediately thought of her plan to escape from the throne in the Thirty-Six Stratagems. She let Zhou Yi succeed to the throne under the pretext of fake death, and then persuaded Princess Da Wu to marry her and give birth to the royal heir. Then she would return to Da Zhou to compete with Zhou Yi for the throne. Da Wu would indirectly put pressure on Da Zhou, and then his child could rightfully become the emperor of both Da Wu and Da Zhou!

Yan Lang pinched the thoughtful lady with his hand and said, "Madam, what did you think of just now?"

"No...no..." Jiao Niang quickly waved her hands to deny it. She thought her guess just now was too extreme, so she did not tell him her thoughts.

The two came to Zuiyan Tower, and Jingyang brought back a secret letter from the capital, on which was written the words "from Yan Sheng himself".

Yan Lang was very familiar with the handwriting on the letter, and he immediately opened the letter and handed it to Song Fengren in front of everyone.

Song Fengren cleared his throat and began to read: "It has been confirmed that His Highness is still alive. Now that the situation in the capital has eased, we will prepare in a few days to go to Dawu to find His Highness and find out the truth about Prime Minister Wang Pu."

After Song Fengren finished reading the last few words, Jing Yang's face twisted and said, "Zhou Tong is still alive?!?!" He grabbed his hand tightly and rushed out.

"Master Song, continue reading!" Yan Langjue had to let Jing Yang calm down first. Back then, because Jing Yang failed to protect the emperor, his family was ordered to be executed by the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Justice. If it weren't for Park Jong-won who tried every means to save Jing Yang.

"Wang Pu, Prime Minister of Dawu, was once the top scholar in the same period as me. If we can get rid of him, that would be great. Zhou Tong is still alive. Yang Guofu and I have discussed that if we meet Zhou Tong, we will bring him back. If we can't bring him back, we will find a chance to kill him!"

Yan Lang heard the following sentence and asked them to kill Zhou Tong! Kill His Highness the First.

"Don't be impatient, Yan Sheng! The teacher has two more words to say."

"read!!"

"If you succeed, it will be the credit of Zuiyanlou. If you fail, the teacher will bear the responsibility alone. Remember not to reveal your identity. Zuiyanlou will be handed over to you."

At this time, Yan Sheng also understood why Yang Guofu was willing to evacuate the people from the palace and Jinzhi Tower. It turned out that the teacher used his own life and death as a bet. Perhaps the teacher had already known that Zhou Tong was alive, and he probably wanted to make Yang Guofu feel scared so as to complete this cooperation.

When Jiao Niang heard the contents of the letter, she told all of them what she was thinking, expressing her true inner thoughts.

"Does Zhou Tong have such big ambitions? He wants to monopolize the two countries!" Song Fengren said, covering his mouth. In his impression, the prince was gentle and elegant, but he didn't expect that he was so ambitious.

"You guys chat, I'll go outside the door to look for Jingyang." Jingyang was probably the only person in the world who knew about what happened to the prince in person.

Yan Lang saw Jing Yang's sturdy back and took a deep breath: "Jing Yang, what happened to His Highness at the border that year?"

Jing Yang turned his head to look at Yan Lang, and sighed, "Back then, when the great prince's chariot was retreating, the axle broke, resulting in the siege of Da Wu's men. I asked the great prince to leave with me, but the great prince said that he wanted to advance and retreat with the frontline soldiers. We fought desperately against several waves of Da Wu's attacks, and I found a way to charge out. During the evacuation, the great prince was pierced by a spear. He threw the Great Zhou's emperor's jade pendant to me and asked me to take it back to the capital. When I returned to the capital, I was convicted by Yang Guofu and others. The next thing was that I was rescued by Lord Park and came to Zuiyan Tower to protect you."

"Is there a way to retreat? And he killed His Highness again?" Yan Lang felt that the two things were a bit contradictory. On the one hand, he gave Zhou Tongsheng hope, but on the other hand, he killed him in front of all the soldiers. "Could it be that Jiao Niang's guess was right, and he faked his death on purpose?"
