On the wedding day, my wife was abnormal

what?

Lin Zhen couldn't help but open his mouth wide, his face full of astonishment and confusion.

Could it be that Murong Yan saw that I’m not a good actor?

Impossible...

When did this woman become so smart?

Lin Zhen was suspicious, but pretended to be confused and said, "I don't understand what Your Majesty means."

"Don't understand?" Murong Yan showed an expression that everything was under control.

The expression seemed to be neither angry nor unhappy, with a bit of playfulness, making her look particularly playful and charming.

But she had men's makeup on her face, her neat and white teeth were slightly exposed, and her watery almond eyes blinked gently, which gave her a bit of the humor of a pretty boy looking at a same-sex person.

Fortunately, Lin Zhen was straight enough so he didn't get caught in it.

If there is a guy who likes Long Yang, he will definitely not be able to resist playing with him.

"Just now you were crying and gnashing your teeth. In the final analysis, weren't you just trying to get me to sympathize with you and let bygones be bygones for Lian Song's death?"

what?

Lin Zhen was stunned when he heard this.

Murong Yan couldn't help but be delighted when she saw this. The corners of her mouth showed a charming and stunning curve, so beautiful that it was breathtaking.

She just laughed and said, "Haha, you dare to show off your little tricks in front of me. But, this Lian Song really deserves to die. I can let this matter go for now, but you have to agree to one condition of mine."

Good guy.

I'm just a good guy.

It turned out that Murong Yan had already reacted.

The reason why she didn't expose it on the spot was that she wanted to use this matter to negotiate with me in exchange for the benefits she wanted.

So scheming and calculating!

The cunningness is breathtaking!

Alas, Lin Zhen sighed slightly.

After all the calculations, I still lost 10%.

Now that his pigtail was firmly grasped by the woman in front of him, it was hopeless for him to get away with it.

Well, let's hear what she has to say.

"Your Majesty, please grant me your instructions."

Murong Yan's eyes flashed with cunning. "Haha. I know you have five hundred Tiger Guards. It's a waste of talent for you to use them to watch the casino. How about lending them to me first?"

I knew Murong Yan had no good intentions. It turned out that she was coveting the military power in my hands.

What does she want to do?

Are you going to take the military power away from Lin Zhenxian bit by bit?

How long will it take to save up five hundred at a time?

A bad move.

Lin Zhen responded with disdain, "Your Majesty, the soldiers of the Tiger Guard Battalion have always been directly under the command of the Prince Regent. I am only borrowing them temporarily and have no say in the matter."

"Really?" Murong Yan raised her voice, looking confident that she had Lin Zhen in her sight. "Okay, then let's talk about your unauthorized execution of an imperial official. Lin Zhen, do you admit your guilt?"

What on earth is this woman trying to do?

There is absolutely no way we can give you the Tiger Guards Camp.

Lin Zhen clenched his teeth, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth: "I acknowledge my guilt."

"Alright! Now I grant you two options. One is to surrender the military power of the 500 Tiger Guards, and the other is to go to the Dali Temple and apologize. It's your choice."

"I...Your Majesty, you are a bit unreasonable. I really don't have the final say over those five hundred people." Lin Zhen looked embarrassed, with some helplessness and unwillingness in his words.

"I don't care about these. You can only choose one of the two paths." Murong Yan took the tea handed to her by Huanhuan, took a sip, and looked relaxed and contented.

Lin Zhen's mind was in turmoil as he weighed the pros and cons.

The Tiger Guards Battalion will never be given away, this is the bottom line.

The military power is much safer in Lin Zhenxian's hands than in Murong Yan's.

But the second way is not feasible either. The Dali Temple Minister is a close confidant of the Gu family. Once he falls into his hands, even if he is lucky enough to survive, he will suffer physical pain.

Lin Zhen is most afraid of pain.

Seeing that he still didn't speak, Murong Yan urged him, "I don't have time to waste with you, hurry up and choose!"

Lin Zhen said with difficulty: "Your Majesty, can I choose the third path?"

Murong Yan couldn't help but curl up a sly smile when she heard this, as if everything was under control: "Third? What is third? Tell me."

Lin Zhen gritted his teeth.

It seems that there will be no success without heavy bleeding.

He had seen the interrogation methods used by the Dali Temple gang. Even bone fragments could be smashed to produce oil splatters. If they really fell into their hands, the Lin family would have no choice but to rebel.

"I am planning to open a carriage business recently. A rough estimate suggests that it will generate some income. How about your Majesty invest in the business? Then we can share the profits monthly, okay?"

"Oh? What kind of carriage business? How much can you make every month?"

Is it difficult for Lin Zhen to tell the truth?

He hurriedly made up an excuse: "This business has a small profit margin, it's just a small business, but it can add some extra income to the palace, which is also good."

"Then how much money do I need to invest?"

Lin Zhen casually raised three fingers, looking like a profiteer: "Not much, three thousand taels will be enough! From now on, Your Majesty can enjoy dividends every month, until the end of time, such a wonderful thing..."

Before Lin Zhen finished speaking, Murong Yan was already furious and slammed the table: "Bang! You are such a scoundrel! You are so cruel!"

"Ah? What happened to me?"

"Do you think I don't know? Fatty Wang and Lu Dehao only contributed 500 taels as shares, and you actually want 3,000 taels from me! You are so mean, but do you think I am easy to bully?"

Lin Zhen's jaw almost dropped: "Ah!? How did you know?"

"How dare you! Are you questioning me?" Murong Yan's voice was filled with unquestionable majesty.

Lin Zhen quickly lowered his head: "I dare not."

"Do you really think my Hundred Cavalry Division is just for show? I received a tip-off last night when those 500 war horses entered the city. Furthermore, Duke Xun personally mentioned this to me the day before yesterday. How dare you even extort money from me? This is truly outrageous!"

Good guy.

The hundreds of thousands of taels of silver sent by the Gu family finally found their place of use.

Murong Yan used this huge sum of money as ink to turn the capital into an impenetrable intelligence network.

And she is the big spider on the web ready to strike, and no movement can escape her eyes.

Lin Zhen closed his eyes, his chest rising and falling for a while.

Damn it, he got fooled.

In fact, Murong Yan had no intention of asking for military power because she knew she could not get it.

Her real purpose was this carriage company, so she deliberately used the military power as an excuse to set up this trap and let Lin Zhen fall into it.

Plank roads are built openly and secretly.

So clever.

As a dignified empress, instead of enjoying her life, she is interested in military strategy.

Lin Zhen said, "Your Majesty, how about you also invest 500 taels of silver and get a dividend of 50 taels of silver every month?"

Murong Yan frowned upon hearing this. "Fifty taels a month? Do you think I'm a beggar? Stop talking nonsense. I want 80% of your income!"

80%! ? ?

Lin Zhen was furious: "Why don't you just take my carriage business away?"

"How dare you! Lin Zhen, is this how you speak as a king?"

Lin Zhen: "..."

Lin Zhen simply stopped talking.

Seeing that he had nothing to say, Murong Yan sneered again: "Oh, Lin Zhen, don't even think about bargaining this time! If you don't agree, go to the Dali Temple now to receive your punishment!"
