Four hundred and twenty-seven chapters
The sycamore leaves outside the window were gently swaying in the drizzle, and the sound of crumbs of raindrops came into her ears, adding a bit of sadness. She looked quietly in the distance until the man handed a cup of tea in front of her. She turned around and looked at him expressionlessly, but did not pick up the cup of tea: "Tell me, what do you want to do?"
When the man heard her words, he seemed to have heard something big joke. A curl appeared on the corner of his lips: "Mr. Peng, I thought you knew what I mean when you received my letter."
Peng Yue lowered his eyes gently and stared at the tea in front of him. He could not hear any fluctuations in his tone: "The Yunzhang Kingdom is now in a high position and power. How can your thoughts be easily understood by an unknown person like me?"
Yun Lang looked at Peng Yue who was calm and showed an appreciation. He took a sip of the tea and said, "Why don't you drink it? Isn't it in line with Lord Peng's taste?" Peng Yue looked at the cup of tea for a long time and finally took it up and took a sip: "It's okay, but I just can't drink the tea made by others. If the Lord of the State of the State needs to give instructions as soon as possible."
Yun Lang was not surprised by her urging. He said with ease: "When you were in Qingyun Academy, I admired you very much, but I was in poor health and was also responsible for the position of Taifu, so I didn't get you into the school as a closed disciple. I have always felt sorry for me. But now I see you so promising, I am very pleased."
Peng Yueyin's face behind the teacup quietly raised a sarcastic smile. She put down the teacup and replied inadvertently: "Is that so? The words of the country in the country have ruined the younger generation. I believe that I was not outstanding at that time, so I couldn't get the eyes of the country in the country." Yun Lang said just to win over her. If she really didn't accept the closed disciples for physical reasons, then what happened to Liu Fei? Do you really think she was a fool to deceive her?
Yun Lang did not respond directly to Peng Yue's hidden ridicule words, but slowly expressed his purpose of calling her to come today: "I have no wishes in my life. First, I wish to be prosperous; second, I hope that my grandson Yunqi can have a little success and will not ruin the reputation of the Yun family; third, I am not satisfied with my disciple Lu Huai." He saw Peng Yue's stiff face instantly when he mentioned Lu Huai. He calmly sipped the thing in his cup, waiting for Peng Yue's reaction.
Peng Yue was stunned for a moment. Her hand unconsciously clenched the cup, and then she discovered Yun Lang's unkind eyes. She calmed down and responded: "If you are a person with a character in the country, you don't have to worry about the disciples you taught. As for Xu Guo, you will naturally become more and more prosperous with the efforts of the country and His Majesty. In the humble opinion of the younger generation, there is no need to worry about these three wishes of the country." She did not jump into his trap as Yun Lang expected and let him seduce her. She had known Yun Lang's methods for a long time, so she would never repeat the mistakes of the previous empress.
Yun Lang suddenly laughed out loud after hearing Peng Yue's words. His actions made Peng Yue extremely puzzled, and even began to wonder if he had said something wrong. However, Yun Lang did not ask Peng Yue to wait too long. His laughter gradually subsided. He stared at Peng Yue with his eyes and asked: "Your Majesty is really envious of Lord Peng's help. But I dared to ask, did Lord Peng ever think about living for himself?"
Peng Yue listened to his whisper like a devil, stunned for a moment, then avoided his eyes in a panic and said, "The State of Palm is absurd to say this. I am willing to devote my whole life to Xu State and His Majesty. Isn't this living for myself?"
Yun Lang looked at her appearance and knew that she was shaken. He smiled and shook his head: "That was told by others. Are you really willing to contribute to Xu Guo without any in your heart? Listen to what it is telling you in your heart? Do you hear it tell you what you really want?"
Peng Yue finally knew why the smart and smart Empress would be willing to be used by Yun Lang for the rest of her life. She could not stay here anymore. She knew that he would say what she could not resist, so she had to leave now. Peng Yue hurriedly stood up and bowed, "I suddenly remembered that I had an appointment with a guest in the mansion today, so I would not disturb the Lord Zhangguo here, so I said goodbye."
Yun Lang looked at her panicked look and slapped the table three times. The sound was dull and loud, which scared Peng Yue, who was about to get up. Before Peng Yue could react, a figure slowly walked out from behind the screen in the room. Peng Yue never expected that this person would be him.
The man skipped Peng Yue directly, bowed to Yun Lang and said, "I have seen the master." Yun Lang did not miss Peng Yue's crazy appearance. He smiled gently, walked to the man, and patted him on the shoulder: "Huai'er, thank you for your hard work."
Yes, who could Lu Huai be standing in front of Peng Yue now? She looked at the man in front of her who made her feel extremely strange and familiar face, and her heart was shocked. She knew that she might not be able to escape this time. Yun Lang chuckled and said to Peng Yue: "Mr. Peng, this is my favorite disciple Lu Huai. I wonder if you have ever seen it?"
Peng Yue lowered her head and smiled bitterly. She knew that Yun Lang was just to lead her into the trap. She looked at Lu Huai's tall and straight body, and how could she escape when he turned to her gently. Peng Yue replied in a trembling voice: "I admire Lord Lu for a long time, and I have been fortunate to meet several times during the court meeting."
Yun Lang pretended to know it for the first time and said in a somewhat exaggerated manner: "Is that true? I only knew it after saying that. If I had known that you had known each other before, I would have asked Huai'er to come out and have a good chat with us teachers and students."
Peng Yue was stunned and didn't know how to reply to Yun Lang's words. Her mind was in chaos. She didn't know why Lu Huai appeared here. Maybe she knew it, and she had an answer in her heart. But she didn't dare to admit it, and she didn't dare to admit it. She was afraid that once she thought so, everything would be irreversible. But Yun Lang's next sentence ruthlessly shattered her expectations.
Yun Lang gently patted Lu Huai's shoulder, but his eyes looked at Peng Yue with a steady look: "It has been quite difficult for me to be a master country for a while. It's thanks to Huai'er who is helping me by my side. Otherwise, I would be unstable for this master country." As soon as Yun Lang said this, what else did Peng Yue not understand? She looked at Lu Huai with surprise and heartache. She didn't understand why Lu Huai betrayed Xu Yan.
Lu Huai didn't say anything, but stood beside Yun Lang and let Yun Lang use him as bait to lure Peng Yue into the bait. Yun Lang always talked about the victory. He didn't give Peng Yue too much time to think, and directly threw out the biggest bait: "My apprentice Lu Huai is very outstanding and never worried me. The only thing that makes me feel at ease is his marriage." Peng Yue heard her heart suddenly bumping, and she knew she could not escape.
Yun Lang looked at Peng Yue's reaction with satisfaction, then pretended to be frowning and continued: "I have talked about several marriages for him before, such as the youngest daughter of General Zuo's family and the eldest daughter of the Tan Jingshi's family. But I always feel that those women are too arrogant and not worthy of my Huai'er. I thought that Mr. Peng was both talented and beautiful, and he was also acquaintance of Huai'er, so I took the initiative to mention this sentence, I wonder what Mr. Peng thinks about Huai'er."
