Chapter 242
Standing in front of him was a young servant from the fourth prince’s residence, but he was also a spy from the fourth prince’s residence. This was a chess piece that had been placed in front of him after he had become the Left Premier. In the past, he did not interfere with the matters of the imperial court. But now, for the sake of Shang’s carelessness, he began to meticulously arrange and monitor the mansions of many courtiers in order to control the movements of these people.
Just now, he had thought that he would be lured out by the spy he planted in the wedding banquet. Thinking that Shang no longer had any intentions to attend the banquet, Huan Mo Che came here, afraid that Shang An Cang might have some scheme against Shang no intention.
“That’s not right!” Huanmo Che suddenly looked warily at the person in front of him. This person was indeed a spy that he planted himself, but how could his subordinates so brainlessly let him come at such an occasion?
The moment that Huanmo Che took out the folding fan, the attendant who had his head lowered suddenly took out a dagger from his chest and stabbed at him. Huanmo Che’s reaction was very fast, the folding fan was already stained with blood, and that piece of the Huanmo Che chess piece fell to the ground without breathing.
Just as he was about to leave, the door to the room was pushed open from the outside. The woman who came in was also a little puzzled. The woman who came in didn’t know that the matter was that simple, but seeing Leng Tiantang who was standing in front of her, she knew what these people were planning.
Leng Ning was wearing a pink dress, her long hair was tied up into a bun, she wasn’t as naive as she used to be. Now, she was emitting a strong sense of indifference, and her lower abdomen was slightly protruding, she seemed to be 4 or 5 months pregnant.
Leng Tantian also did not expect to meet Huan Mo Che here, this man whom she had once begged for but could not go crazy. Huan Mo Che wore a sky blue robe, which was wrapped in gold and jade. His exquisite facial features exuded a jade-like luster, and a graceful and noble aura flowed out from his body. If it was in the past, Leng Tiantang would be unable to suppress his heart from blushing, but today, when he saw Illusory Mo Che, even if he was still as charming as before, his heart was still calm and serene.
“Lord Left Premier!” Leng Tantian bowed respectfully. When they were at the dinner table, because her lower abdomen was a little uncomfortable, she asked the servant girl to bring her down for a rest in order to not worry about Leng Zi. Leng Jingtong felt that it was because she was too tired today that she felt uncomfortable, and she was very fond of this child in her womb.
Ever since she heard of the crown prince’s words, she slowly started to accept Leng Zi’s words. Only then did she realize that the man she had taken advantage of had grown up to this point. He was very careful and brave. Afterwards, their relationship gradually improved. Although there were concubines in the mansion, the two of them still respected each other, and those women never disturbed them. She was much happier than those bright and beautiful women who were actually in pain. Leng Tantian was happy to know that she was pregnant. She wanted this child to have the blood of her and Leng Zi.
As expected, he saw Leng TIantian’s face start to turn red. If something really happened to a pregnant woman today, not only would she lose her face, but it would also be a blow to Shang Tong’s heart. This group of people’s plans were really good. After all, Leng Jingtian’s love for Mystic Mo Che was well hidden, but the entire capital still more or less knew about it, it seemed like the person behind this was one of the people who planned this.
Leng Tantian knew that he was tricked, and forced a bitter smile, but he still forced himself to wake up. She not only had to protect her own reputation, but she also had to protect this child.
“I beg you, if I can’t control myself, kill me!” She could not allow her child to carry such a mother, much less let Leng Zi down. She was not a person now, but a mother.
At this time, a person was suddenly thrown into the room, and this person was even more surprising to the other two, because this person was Leng Zi.
“Big brother Huan, Tian?” Leng Zi did not expect to meet Huan Mo Che, much less for his own wife to appear here. Just a moment ago, when he was seated, he discovered that Leng Tian was no longer worried, so he came out to look, but did not expect to be thrown into the room with his mouth covered. His wife was kneeling on the floor, while Huan Mo Che was indifferent.
“Child, listen to my explanation!” Leng Ning was panicking a little. She tried her best to stay awake, and knew that her husband seeing her in the same room with the man he once liked was not appropriate no matter how one put it.
Leng Zi did not look at Leng Tantian, but at Huan Mo Che. His current relationship with him was very good, and he was very satisfied with his current life, but now seeing his wife blushing while living in the same room with another man, he still felt uncomfortable in his heart.
At this moment, Huan Mo Che understood the intentions of these people. Initially, he had his chess piece lead him here to assassinate, but if he succeeded it would be for the best. It goes without saying that the third plan would be very high even if nothing happened. A man who saw his wife sharing a room with the man she once adored, even if nothing had happened, Leng TIantian’s traditional Chinese medicine would definitely be in disarray, and Leng Zi would be angry enough to do anything. As long as this matter was exposed, whether it was his position as Minister for the Left or his relationship with Shang, it would all change.
“She’s using Chinese medicine!” Huanmo Che originally didn’t care to explain himself, but seeing Leng Jingtian’s determination to hold onto his stomach and die, he still couldn’t help but say it out loud. It wasn’t because he sympathized with Leng Tiantian or his heart softening, but because this kind of coldness reminded him of that terrified Shang Wuxin on that rainy night.
Leng Zi’s confused thoughts immediately became clear. He was once naive, but after experiencing so many things, he understood a lot. Only now did he look down and saw that there was indeed something wrong with Leng Tian’s expression, and thinking back to when he was thrown here, he knew that someone was trying to deal with him, and his wife was only implicated by the innocent.
Huan Mo Che did not even look at the two as he walked out of the room, and Leng Zi, after leaving Huan Mo Che, immediately helped up Leng Tian who was kneeling on the ground, and asked in concern, “Nantian, how are you?” He could feel the seductive look in Leng Tingtian’s eyes, but now was not the right time.
“It’s alright. I can endure it, but our child …” Leng Tantian looked worriedly at his belly. She wasn’t afraid of anything, she was only afraid of something happening to her child. If something happened to her child, she would have no motivation to live on.
“It’s alright, our child will definitely be fine!” Leng Zi comforted her, but she was also worried.
Just when Leng Zi and Leng Tantian were waiting anxiously, the door was finally opened by someone. The people who originally came to attend the banquet were standing at the door of the room. Leng Zi heaved a sigh of relief, he was really afraid that if these people didn’t come, they wouldn’t be able to hold on.
“Why are you guys here?” Shang An Cang asked in confusion. Yishui had obviously arranged everything well, but she was supposed to be the main character of this show? The reason why he spent so much energy to arrange such a situation wasn’t for these two people, but rather for the crown prince’s right-hand man, Left Prime Minister Huan Mo Che. As long as he broke Prince Huan Mo Che’s influence in the imperial court, he would suffer heavy losses.
Leng Zi embraced Leng Tantian and said apologetically, “I am worried for the fourth prince, because my wife is not well due to pregnancy, so I brought her here to rest, but I didn’t expect to disturb you guys, I am truly sorry!”
When Shang An Cang looked at Leng Zi, he seemed to be unaware of what was going on, and was depressed in his heart. Seeing that the room could not be hidden, and knowing that Huan Mo Che had already left, he hurriedly said to the crowd that came to see the commotion, “Mister Leng is fine, there’s no need for everyone to worry!”
When everyone had left, Leng Tantian’s complexion became even more unsettled. Just as Leng Zi was getting anxious, a lady dressed in black stood in front of Leng Zi and said, “Sir Leng, the crown prince has ordered me to send the two of you to recover!”
Leng Zi did not expect to meet with no fear here, nor did he expect that Shang Wuxin would actually help him. He hurriedly thanked him, “Thank you …” “Thank you …”
Without any fear or hesitation, Leng Zi picked up Leng Tantian and flew out of the fourth prince’s residence, while the hidden guards of the fourth prince’s residence had long been entangled by the Blood Sang Army. When the two of them were sent back to the Leng Residence, Leng Zi thanked them even more, but did not expect to say without fear or coldness, “Fortunately, you have a good brother!”
If not for General Leng, the Crown Prince would never have bothered with this matter. Even if General Leng did not care about the Leng Clan, as long as General Leng was surnamed Leng, the Leng Clan could not afford to lose!
At this time, Shang Wuxin was still sitting at the wedding banquet watching the return of Huan Mo Che, the indifference in his eyes had not faded. Ye Yi Zhe lightly patted Illusory Mo Che’s shoulder. This matter was not wrong, and Shang Wuqing’s anger was only caused by her own people being schemed against.
Just as the wedding was about to end, Fearless came to Shang Wuxin’s side. Although he lowered his voice, the others still heard him clearly, “Crown Prince, the masterminds for this matter are the Fourth Prince and Yishui!” Just like Huan Mo Che, Shang Tong had his own chess pieces in the Fourth Prince’s place. But Shang Tong had never used these chess pieces, these chess pieces did not have any important functions in the Fourth Prince’s office, and if not for Shang Bin’s anger, she would not have used these chess pieces that had been lurking in the shadows for a long time.
Shang Xin looked at Huan Mo Che, only to find out that Huan Mo Che was looking at him emotionally. Of course, Huan Mo Che knew the consequences of using these chess pieces. Shang An Cang was not a fool. If he used these chess pieces today, then these chess pieces would be discarded.
“I heard that Shang An Cang’s second wife is pregnant?” Shang’s voice was full of meaning.
Fearless nodded and then suddenly understood what the Crown Prince was trying to do. He immediately lowered his head and said, “This servant understands!” This time, Yishui had interfered to make Huan Mo Che lose a chess piece. With the Crown Prince’s protective personality, how could he let her off so easily? Fearless thought that the delicate and weak Yishui would also turn out like this. After all, there was no good ending to going against the Crown Prince, and only Leng Tantian could wake up so quickly.
When Fearless was ready to set up the plan, Shang’s unintentional voice rang out, “Once this is done, we will withdraw!” These chess pieces had been picked out from the Blood Shang Army. Although they were no longer of any use, Shang Wuxin would not abandon them.
“Yes, this servant understands!”
