Text Chapter 1439: House Arrest
Xiaozhuoyuan is a garden within a garden that brings together the essence of heaven and earth. In the main hall, King Ying Tian seemed to be in a good mood, chatting and laughing with his children, which was a rare sight.
"Dad!" Zhan Ping and Ying Luohuan saluted after entering, and then greeted their brothers and sisters.
"Here we come!" Ying Jiuguang said happily, waving his hand to let the other children leave first, staring at his daughter and son-in-law with a smile.
Zhan Ping and Ying Luohuan looked at each other. They didn't know why their father had called them so urgently, but they could tell that he was in a really good mood today.
Ying Luohuan stepped forward and took his father's arm, smiling and saying, "Dad is smiling. Is there any happy event?"
"Haha!" Ying Jiuguang stroked his beard and nodded: "You really guessed it. It is indeed a happy event, and it is a huge happy event."
"Oh!" Ying Luohuan said in surprise: "Dad, tell me, what kind of happy event is it?"
"Isn't it a great joy that Ruyi's life is settled?" Ying Jiuguang told happily, glancing at Heping who was standing quietly.
Ying Luohuan was really surprised, "Is Ruyi and Niu Youde's marriage settled?"
"..." Ying Jiuguang's smile froze, and his face darkened, "What kind of Niu Youde is it? How can a Niu Youde who can't stand on the stage be worthy of a 'big happy event'?" His face changed again. He smiled, stroking his beard and said with a smile, "It's your Majesty! Your Majesty has fallen in love with Ruyi and wants to take Ruyi as his concubine. Girl, look what this is. This is the jade pendant that your Majesty carries with you. It was given to Ruyi as a token of love. Hold it. This thing can be freely entered and exited the Heavenly Palace. Ruyi is the first among the beauties in the harem to have this honor. Please give it to Ruyi later!" He took out the piece of colored jade given by Lord Qing. Hand it to your daughter.
Ying Luohuan didn't answer, but took three steps back in shock. He lost his voice and said: "Dad, what did you say? Your Majesty wants to accept Ruyi as your concubine?"
Zhanping, who was quietly standing next to him, also changed his expression and stared at Ying Jiuguang.
Ying Jiuguang's eyes became deep and he said calmly: "What? Are you still unwilling to do such a beautiful thing?"
"I don't want to!" Ying Luohuan loudly refused: "You can't marry anyone, why do you have to marry him? Dad, you don't know what the harem is like. There are so many beauties that you can't even count them. On the surface Glorious. Secretly dirty and dirty. How many people have been living as widows there all their lives. I am not willing to let my daughter compete with thousands of women for the favor of an old man, no matter how high his status or power is!"
Ying Jiuguang: "Why are you excited? How can I watch my granddaughter suffer? You don't think about my father's identity, how can he let Ruyi enter the palace easily? The conditions have been negotiated with His Majesty. After Ruyi enters the palace, , His Majesty will confer the title of "Ruyi Tianfei". She will be given a royal chariot, and her salary will be the highest among the concubines, second only to the Queen of Heaven. No one will be required to salute except Your Majesty and the Queen of Heaven. You know what this means. What? It means that your daughter will be the second best among women in the world. With her father’s support, it is not impossible to become the supreme among women in the world. This is something that many women in the world dream of. You should be happy about not coming!”
Ying Luohuan said emotionally: "I'm not happy. I don't want to, and I'll marry whoever wants to. Anyway, it can't be my daughter."
"Hmph!" Ying Jiuguang suddenly sneered twice, "Now that I know that I am unhappy, now that I know that I am unwilling, what have you done? Carry me on your back and run to Zuo Duwei, carry me on your back to the ghost market, your daughter He is getting bolder and bolder. Who is pampering and indulgent? Now it has been found that when the ghost market was setting up a trap, someone leaked the news about His Majesty's trap in advance, allowing all the remaining villains of the Six Paths to escape. Do you know this? What’s the nature? Colluding with rebels and intending to commit rebellion!”
Zhanping was shocked again, and Ying Luohuan said loudly: "Dad, Ruyi can't afford such a big crime, so don't blame him!"
"You are being labeled randomly? You are really not being labeled randomly!" Ying Jiuguang narrowed his eyes and said: "Why did you let Ruyi go to the ghost market when you were the left governor, and why did you push Ruyi to the front of the stage? His Majesty calculated every step, and everything turned out to be cloudy. Covering one's hands with rain, no one can get involved in such a powerful struggle. It's better for your daughter. She doesn't know the heights of the sky and throws herself into a trap. Do you really think that the muddy water is so easy to navigate? The news was leaked, so Ruyi became one of the few insiders and was brought to the forefront. Now the matter has been implicated in colluding with the rebels because of the leaked news. His Majesty is ready to hand over Ruyi to Gao Guan. Do you think Ruyi can withstand Gao Guan's interrogation? Means? Once Ruyi reveals that she did leak information to the Ying family, do you know what the consequences will be? Then the Ying family will be suspected of colluding with the rebels and intending to commit rebellion! All the names are under control. At that point, the whole Ying family will fall into the hands of His Majesty. Even if the Ying family is innocent and there is a ready opportunity to disintegrate the Ying family, do you think His Majesty can still make the Ying family safe? Walked out of jail without incident?"
Zhan Ping's face suddenly turned pale, and Ying Luohuan shivered all over, feeling shuddering. The couple had never thought that the ghost market was a game within a game, a trap within a trap. The depth of Qingzhu's city made them a little creepy.
"If the Ying family collapses, do you think you and your wife can survive alone?" Ying Jiuguang waved his hand and pointed to the door, "I specially asked Tianyuan to greet you at the door. You have all seen Tianyuan's fate! I can tell you for sure. You, even if the Zhan family can cut off their relationship with the Ying family, they will never live a good life. The fate will definitely be ten times worse than that of Tian Yuan! What do you think you will be able to do to keep your daughter alive? , I don’t know how many people want to taste what it’s like to be the proud granddaughter of the King of Heaven. Do you think Ruyi will end up better than becoming His Majesty’s concubine?”
Ying Luohuan was extremely frightened and begged: "Dad, please save Ruyi!"
Ying Jiuguang: "Why can't I be saved? Your Majesty wanted to hand over Ruyi to Gao Guan, but I stopped him. I tried my best to reach a compromise with Your Majesty, and I tried my best to make your Majesty make Ruyi the 'Ruyi Tianfei'" "
Do the couple have a choice?
After receiving a satisfactory answer, Ying Jiuguang watched the couple leave, squinting at Heping who bowed his head and remained silent all the way.
After leaving Xiaozhuoyuan, Ying Luohuan's eyes were red from crying, and Zhan Ping's whole spirit was depressed.
In fact, after meeting Ying Jiuguang, his son-in-law didn't say a word from beginning to end except for greetings at the beginning. However, there were some things that he knew better than his wife. After all, he was also in the court.
At least one thing he understood was that before Master Qing broke up with the Ying family, Ying Jiuguang had other ways to protect Zhan Ruyi, and it was not just sending Zhan Ruyi into the palace. But he understood better that Zhan Ruyi's entry into the palace as a concubine was in the interests of both the Qing Lord and the Ying family. This was the key. So it doesn't matter what he says. Saying too much will be detrimental, because Ying Jiuguang has already made up his mind. There is no way for Ying Jiuguang to change any outcome. He can only find another breakthrough point.
"Brother Zhan, what's wrong with you?"
Tianyuan was passing by and accidentally bumped into two couples again, but this time they ignored him. Ying Luohuan had obviously cried, and Zhan Ping was even more listless and seemed to have aged instantly.
"What happened..." Tian Yuan stopped and murmured, his eyes full of doubts, and then he smiled suddenly, realizing that he was really worrying about it. What kind of trouble could there be for someone with a mountain at his back? At most, he was taught a lesson by King Ying Tian. It's just a meal, no matter what, he is better than him. He shook his head and turned around...
"What are you doing? Do you want to do the following?"
In Yuyuan, at the gate of the residence of the Commander-in-Chief of the Chinese Army under the main town, a group of people stopped Zhan Ruyi who was about to go out, which made Zhan Ruyi furious. What made her even more angry was that the residence of the Commander-in-Chief of the Chinese Army had been surrounded.
She had already received a message from her father and knew that she was about to enter the palace as a concubine. This made her frightened and frightened. She never thought that she would also become a member of Yu Tianzhong. Not long ago, she was in front of Miao Yi. I laughed at those women, but I didn't expect retribution to come so quickly.
The meaning of Zhanping is very simple. If you are unwilling to enter the palace, leave the imperial garden immediately. I have arranged for someone to pick you up and will send you to a secret place, but you will not be able to show your face in the future.
The war once again gave her daughter the right to choose freely.
In fact, the Heping couple had lost their freedom and were placed under house arrest in the Heavenly King's Mansion under the orders of Ying Jiuguang. Zhanping couldn't come, and the people he sent to meet him couldn't enter the Yuyuan area. They could only ask his daughter to find a way to leave Yuyuan to meet the people he sent to meet him.
Zhan Ruyi naturally wanted to run away, but who would have thought that he could no longer run away. The official residence was already surrounded by heavy soldiers.
Yang Zhaoqing, the leader of the team, cupped his hands and said: "General Commander, please calm down. This is the wish of the Lord Commander. Let us protect the safety of the Commander-in-Chief. Please rest in the official residence for a few days."
Zhan Ruyi said angrily: "What a joke, what kind of security do you need to protect here! What does the Lord Headquarters want to do? Does he want to put me under house arrest? Or does he want to avenge himself?"
Yang Zhaoqing said cheerfully: "If the commander-in-chief insists on thinking this way, I can't help it." With a wave of his hand, dozens of Xian'e appeared in a row on one side. He warned: "Take good care of the commander-in-chief, if you let the commander-in-chief If anything happens to the commander, I want your heads!"
"Yes!" A group of Xian'e responded nervously, and immediately filed in and entered the Grand Commander's mansion.
"Haha! Protect me..." Zhan Ruyi laughed angrily. This was not protecting himself. He was clearly sent to monitor him, and it was clear that he was going to be placed under house arrest here. He immediately took a step forward, "I want to see who dares to stop me!"
Yang Zhaoqing waved his hand, and dozens of meteor arrows were aimed at Zhan Ruyi. Hundreds of people took out their immortal ropes and watched eagerly.
"The Lord of the Town has an order. If the Commander-in-Chief dares to take a step without authorization, he will be punished as disobedient and tied up directly!" Yang Zhaoqing threatened, and then slowed down and said: "Commander-in-Chief, we are also acting under orders. Don't force us, you can do it yourself. It’s better to have some freedom when you go back than to be tied up and thrown back!”
Zhan Ruyi was so angry that she gritted her teeth. However, she also knew that she could never break out of the heavy soldiers. She was really going to be tied up, but there was really nothing she could do. Taking a deep breath, "Okay! I'm not going out. Please ask the mayor to come over. I have something important to report!" (To be continued...)
