Ghost Soldiers Robbery Case (2)
"Oh dear, what's my relationship with Hong Lian?"
Saying thank you... is too formal.
"That's so cheesy."
"For me, the greatest way to express my gratitude to her is to help her win over the man she loves... Brother Ye, could you please express your opinion on my behalf?"
Han Fei winked with a smile.
Look at the red Hong Lian, its color visibly warm to the naked eye.
He teased Ye Qingcang, not without a hint of trying to bring them together.
On the way back to the palace earlier.
He asked Hong Lian what she thought.
Although it's too early for Hong Lian to talk about marriage, it's almost impossible for Hong Lian to decide her own marriage before he takes power. But it's not difficult to ask Hong Lian how she feels about Ye Qingcang, whether she has any feelings for him, and to what extent she likes him.
According to Hong Lian's answer to him.
His conclusion was that his younger sister, Hong Lian, had a crush on Ye Qingcang!
Yes!
He never imagined that the word "unrequited love" could be associated with his usually energetic and outgoing younger sister, and it didn't even seem out of place!
What should I say?
What can I say?
In response, he could only say: Even the most unruly girl will become very ladylike when facing the boy she likes, even if it's just an act.
But as Hong Lian's older brother.
Even if he's not my biological brother.
He was equally duty-bound to do this!
I'm definitely going to help!
He said it was Han Fei!
Perfect timing, taking advantage of Ye Qingcang's teasing.
Let's find out what Ye Qingcang is thinking first.
This can be considered a strategy that kills two birds with one stone.
As for why he turned around and accused Ye Qingcang of Ye Qingcang was clearly congratulating him, it's simply because he knows Ye Qingcang too well. If Hong Lian couldn't see the trickery, it's because Hong Lian's too young, too well-protected, and too naive. If Zi Nu couldn't see the trickery, it's because Zi Nu doesn't understand court politics and can't imagine the intrigues. Therefore, both Wei Zhuang and Ye Qingcang must have seen something amiss, and congratulating him was purely a matter of being a bystander.
However, it's better to keep quiet about it.
Han Fei's guess was indeed correct.
Ye Qingcang was indeed teasing him.
Of course, right now, Ye Qingcang was more focused on something else: resolving Hong Lian's predicament. "Playing matchmaker is one thing, but doing it without considering the timing... Besides, Hong Lian and I are only friends, not lovers. Furthermore, I'm a very fickle guy; I've been involved with no fewer than ten girls. Even if Hong Lian did end up with me, it would be unfair to her. Why make her Hong Lian? Life is already hard enough; being carefree and happy is the right thing to do... Of course, not missing out on any mutual affection is also important, but discussing this now is premature... More importantly, Brother Han Fei, I think you should pay more attention to your current situation. Your position as Minister of Justice is a hot potato!"
Hong Lian breathed a sigh of relief at Ye Qingcang's protection.
Honestly.
She also felt it was too hasty to start a relationship now.
Because she had always considered Ye Qingcang a friend.
The term "friend" here is not used in a derogatory sense.
The two of them never see each other.
Communication relies entirely on the Jade Seal Machine.
Sometimes, if the geographical location is wrong, the signal is easy to disappear.
Calling them pen pals would be a more accurate description.
Now we meet again.
We met at the city gate.
Then came the matter of buying a house.
It's only been a little over two days so far.
It's definitely a bit early to talk about liking someone.
However, she didn't dislike this tacit understanding and mutual understanding of each other's situations. At least she felt very comfortable when she was with Ye Qingcang. In addition, she also liked to see Ye Qingcang's smile, which might be related to the fact that Ye Qingcang was indeed good-looking. His appearance after the adjustment by the Stellar Martial Arts was naturally quite good.
Because the essence of Stellar Martial Arts is to evolve the human body to the golden ratio.
Even if there is a personal style involved.
Because some people are born with a large frame.
Some people are born with small frames.
Therefore, even though they are all based on the golden ratio, there are different golden ratios. Just like a weight of 180 pounds, it would be considered very fat on a 1.7-meter-tall person, but only suitable on a 1.9-meter-tall person. On a person over 2 meters tall, it would be considered too thin. The most important thing is the proportion, and then the individual's physical condition.
In this way, it looks good, but...
It won't be the same all the time.
However, it didn't matter to Princess Crimson Lotus, who was obsessed with flowers.
You can say she's attracted to looks.
Call it a spiritual agreement or whatever.
Anyway, she felt very comfortable with Ye Qingcang and wanted to continue the relationship. Although it was still different from the passionate love stories described in novels, which made her unsure about her feelings, she felt that the current way of getting along was quite good, at least she could accept it.
Therefore, after regaining my composure...
Hong Lian immediately grasped the problem.
Looking at Han Fei with curiosity, she asked with some confusion, "Isn't this a good thing?"
She even helped out in the process!
Could it be that I've made things worse?
"Well, how should I put it..."
Han Fei scratched his head, not wanting to hurt Hong Lian's feelings, nor wanting to lie to her.
But compared to Han Fei.
Wei Zhuang was much more direct in his speech.
Ignore Zi Nu's speechless and disdainful look.
The man, speaking in a straightforward, almost masculine tone, said, "Of course it's not a good thing... His position as Minister of Justice, seemingly secured for him by you, is actually a product of the power struggle between General Ji Wuye and Prime Zhang Kaidi... Ji Wuye needs this position to damage his reputation and suppress Zhang Kaidi, while Zhang Kaidi is also gambling, betting that he can become a sharp blade to tear through the Night Curtain created by Ji Wuye... He's now caught in this vortex, caught between a rock and a hard place, even though it doesn't really concern you much, because even if you hadn't spoken up, he would still have been pushed into the position of Minister of Justice, because this is a rare situation where the court and the people are of one mind!"
"A harmonious relationship between generals and ministers is truly rare."
"But this heart... it's anything but kind!"
"One is holding the price and selling."
"A watchful eye."
"Even the cunning old fox is powerless against a tiger."
Zi Nu made a meaningful remark.
At the same time, wave your hand.
He gestured for Nong Yu to go to the side and play the zither.
Because of the people who can enter this room.
They're all on our side.
Despite the few secrets, she still had great confidence in Nong Yu, whom she had raised from childhood, and believed that Nong Yu would not betray her.
To put it bluntly, it boils down to just one issue.
"Now that this has happened, is your brother going to do anything about it?"
"He is the Minister of Justice."
"The enforcer of the law and the one who establishes the law."
"Ji Wuye broke the law, can he just ignore it?"
"Can we pretend we didn't see it?"
"If he takes charge, he will inevitably offend Ji Wuye, thus fulfilling Zhang Kaidi's wish."
"If he doesn't take action, it's a dereliction of duty, Ji Wuye will naturally target him."
Ye Qingcang habitually raised his hand.
He patted Hong Lian's little head.
Then, looking at Hong Lian, who had suddenly realized what was happening but was now sulking again, he added, "Just watch, it won't be long before Ji Wuye makes his move, targeting a lawless outlaw and going to battle your brother."
