Husband, please lend me your virtues

Chapter 184: Beating up the family who used favors to ask for marriage (10)

So the emperor waved his hand and asked the guards to let Zhuang Zijin in.

When Zhuang Zijin came in, he greeted the emperor politely and glanced at Wen Shao next to him. Well, he was a good man, a good man who was wholeheartedly concerned about Dalin and worthy of trust.

She sat down opposite Wen Shao, took a sip of tea, and then said, "Father, I came here today to report something important to you!"

"What's the important matter? Didn't Changning get the Queen's permission to go out of the palace today?"

The emperor smiled calmly, "Is it that the students at the Xiying Inn today were slandering you? General Xiaowen has already reported this to me."

"This was instigated by the Qian family. I will definitely let you get your revenge. However, Zhang is your mother's lifesaver, so you can't punish her too severely. As for the other members of the Qian family, it's fine."

After all, Zhang Jiji was the only one who saved his queen. The Qian family dared to plot against the royal family. The emperor felt that it would be a kindness to Zhang Jiji if he could spare her life and not punish her.

"Father, the matter I reported is related to Zhang Shuren, but it is not this matter."

"Zhang Shuren is not from Dalin, but a spy sent by Beidi. The real Zhang Jiji was murdered by the fake Zhang Jiji before she got married and took her place."

"What?" The emperor was shocked. He didn't expect that Zhang Jiji was the most hidden Northern Di spy. But if he was a spy, then why did Zhang Jiji take the initiative to leave the capital and go south to the south of the Yangtze River more than ten years ago?

"How did Changning know this?"

Zhuang Zijin told the guard exactly what he had told her. When the current Zhang Jiji was sixteen years old, she replaced the real Zhang Jiji who had just returned from the countryside, and married into the Qian family according to the engagement left by the original Zhang Jiji.

He planned to lurk in Dalin and wait for an opportunity to act. Originally, the person he rescued was the Princess of Yan. He expected to gain the Princess's trust and place people from Beidi around the King of Yan.

Unexpectedly, the battle for the throne was so fierce that most of the spies planted by the Northern Di in the capital were uprooted, leaving only a few who did not have time to cause trouble.

The number of Zhang Jiji's companions who were also Beidi spies kept decreasing. They died one after another, and even her superior who was in contact with her was arrested.

She was extremely uneasy and decided to leave the capital overnight to avoid the search by Dalin's soldiers. She did not set foot in the capital until her new superior contacted her.

She openly used the interests of the Qian family to tempt her eldest son to join her in a conspiracy to marry Princess Changning to make the Qian family prosperous. However, secretly she wanted to use Princess Changning as a breakthrough to get involved in the royal family of Dalin.

What Zhang Jiji discussed with the Beidi man was how to get Zhuang Zijin, and then use her name to place his own people in some inconspicuous positions, and slowly take control of the situation in Dalin.

When the emperor heard this, he looked serious and called the guard in. He asked him to describe the appearance of the northern Di man so that the painter could draw a rough outline of him.

Wen Shao sat opposite Zhuang Zijin, listening to her description word by word, with the corners of his mouth curled up.

When the emperor explained the plan to find the Northern Di people, he looked at Wen Shao who was staring at Zhuang Zijin without blinking, shook his head and laughed, and felt like teasing him.

"My dear, you have been staring at Changning for so long. Could it be that you fell in love with her the moment you saw her?"

"My daughter is devoted to you, dear Lord. You must not let her down!"

"Your Majesty, I did fall in love with the princess at first sight. Besides, the princess is my wife-to-be. If I don't look at her, should I look at other women?"

Wen Shao grinned and said, "It is my honor to have the princess as my wife. I will definitely treat the princess well and will not let her suffer any injustice."

"Hahaha, good. I am relieved to have such a good son-in-law." The emperor laughed and clapped his hands. "Before you went to the battlefield, your marriage with Changning was already in preparation. The wedding date is the 18th of next month. Let's get married as usual."

"Although time is short, I will not treat Changning and you unfairly. After all, Changning is not young anymore. He will be 21 after the New Year."

"Thank you very much, Your Majesty, for your grace. I will definitely arrange my marriage with the princess when I return."

While Wen Shao was replying, he glanced at Zhuang Zijin secretly. Although the other party did not respond, Wen Shao was still secretly happy in his heart.

Who would have thought that such a rough man like him actually had a fiancée who was as beautiful as a fairy, and who was still devoted to him. Even after the news of his death came out, she was unwilling to abandon him and choose another husband.

She really loves him, and he must treat her well.

The emperor saw that there was no change in the mood on Zhuang Zijin's face, so he walked up to her, thinking that she was worried about the Northern Di. She was not happy that her fiancé, whom she had been looking forward to, had returned alive. "Don't worry, Changning. The Northern Di are not strong enough. I will catch all these spies. If the Northern Di are determined not to change, then we can fight a war."

"General Xiao Wen, it's not easy for you to come back. Your mother has been worried about you these days. Go home and rest quickly, and accompany Madam Wen!" After the emperor finished speaking to Wen Shao, he looked at Zhuang Zijin and said, "Let's go. I will go with you to your mother's palace to have dinner."

At the same time, he instructed the queen to arrange his marriage with her daughter.

"Yes, father." Zhuang Zijin forced a smile and followed the emperor. Oops.

She was certain that Wen Shao would not come back, so she used his name. Now, all her family members thought that she was infatuated with Wen Shao. Even her married sisters came specially when they knew she was leaving the palace today to persuade her to give up living with a dead man.

Her father even specially ordered her wedding date with Wen Shao to go on as scheduled. Now she was forced to get married even if she didn't want to.

When the Queen learned the news that Wen Shao had returned, she happily packed Zhuang Zijin's dowry for her, while Zhuang Zijin was closely following the movements of the Qian family at this moment.

After Wen Shao had several contacts with Zhuang Zijin, he discovered that Princess Changning was really a cunning woman. She clearly had no feelings for him at all, and the things she had done before were just using him as a shield.

Wen Shao was afraid that Zhuang Zijin would change her mind, so he refused to even pretend and directly said that she would not marry him. So he asked Zhuang Zijin to leave the palace every now and then and took her out to play.

After discovering that Zhuang Zijin was curious about the Qian family and the Beidi spies, Wen Shao took the initiative to investigate the matter. Whenever he found new clues, he would invite Zhuang Zijin out of the palace.

As time went by, Zhuang Zijin gradually got used to Wen Shao's presence, and felt that it was good to have a husband who silently took care of her and respected her wishes.

With half a month left before Zhuang Zijin's wedding, Wen Shao took Zhuang Zijin to look for clues about the spies going to Beidi every day. He caught the leader of the Beidi spies who met Zhang Jiji that day faster than the officials who were good at this matter in the government.

At that time, the entire Qian family was arrested by the Jingzhao Prefecture on charges of treason and treason, and even the remaining members of the Qian family who were far away in Jiangnan were not spared.
