My enemies became my companions

Chapter 71 I have to care

"My husband, that person...looks at me in a weird way."

After Chen Yi left, Lin Wanheng finally couldn't help but said.

The captain of the Western Factory kept looking at her, which was really hard to resist for a woman from a scholarly family.

Lin Yan comforted him:
"My lady, don't worry. After this incident, the Lin family will have no dealings with him."

"No contact?"

The young lady was confused.

How could Lin Yan not see that man's wantonness? He just had to swallow his anger at the time. Now, when he heard his wife complaining, his eyes turned cold and he said:

"Right now we are in urgent need of the East Factory's help, so we are trying our best to win him over. When things are done in the future, we will naturally no longer need to use him."

Listening to her husband's words, the young lady said with some worry:
"My husband, it's not that I don't have confidence, but the Queen Mother has been in charge of the government for many years, so we have to be cautious... Moreover, throughout history, there have been more failures than successes in clearing the court of emperors. It's not worth it to risk your entire fortune for this."

When Lin Yan heard this, he retorted:

"How many years has the evil queen controlled the government? Our Lin family has been in the cabinet for more than 20 years! The late emperor used our people, and the evil queen also wants to use our people. Why does the evil queen want to cook away the running dogs and hide the good bows? Does she think that we are loyal and good ministers, and we deserve to die if the emperor wants us to?!
Since they want to use our people, why can't we clean up the emperor's side? Why don't we dare to do what Huo Yin did?! I, Lin Yan, shoulder the responsibility of the Lin family. I must be a high-ranking official and a filial son. I must clean up the emperor's side! I must get rid of the Ding'an pests in the court and make that evil queen return power and abdicate. I must let the people of the world know that the anger of scholars is far more than just blood splattering ten steps away, and far more than the whole world in mourning! "

Lin Yan became more and more excited as he spoke, his eyes turned red and his lips trembled. After a while, he saw his wife's concerned look and realized that he had lost his composure.

He calmed down and said slowly:

"My father values ​​me the most. Not only does he make me the head of the family, he even wants me to become an immortal as well. He wants me to practice boy's skills since I was young. That's why I can't touch you all these years. I'm sorry for you, and I'm also letting your family gossip about you. When my father becomes an immortal and we officially consummate our marriage, we'll see if they dare to say another word."

Lin Wanheng nodded slightly and smiled. She seemed to agree with her husband's words, but she didn't say anything. This ambiguous approval was the cultivation of a woman to be a good wife. She was born to live a life. Having a warm home was enough, and she didn't care about anything else.

Therefore, she always treated her husband with respect and dignity.

Lin Yan stretched out his hand, wanting to touch her, but in the end, he withdrew his hand because he was afraid that he could not help himself. Over the years, at his father's request, he had never even touched his wife and could only treat her as a treasure that should not be desecrated.

After a moment, he said in a gentle voice:
"You women should just take care of your household affairs. As for Captain Chen, you don't have to worry. I will take care of it for you. Besides, he is so frivolous to you!
He is a knife in the Queen Mother's hand, and he is also a knife in my hand. When the knife is no longer useful, someone will naturally kill him..."

"Husband... who is that person?"

........................

"What, I'm here to kill Chen Yi?"

You Xu widened his eyes and asked:

"real or fake?"

Yin Weiying said indifferently:

"Of course it's you. The masters from the Jing Palace and the Lin Palace have to deal with the masters from the Xi Que Pavilion and the Imperial Palace. To deal with the Xi Que Pavilion Master who is guarding the Imperial Palace, you are the only one left to kill him."

You Xu laughed out loud and said:
"You've let me be a spy for so many years, and in the end you want me to kill someone who's hard to kill?"

You Xu felt it was funny and was about to wave his hand when he heard something.

"He killed your apprentice, don't you want revenge?"

The words of the nun in white were terrifyingly bland.
"Huang Liuqing was the only true disciple you accepted after your Bailiu sect was destroyed 20 years ago. He cut off your sect's inheritance, and you just did it without any complaints?"

You Xu narrowed his eyes slightly, and the knuckles holding the knife turned visibly white.

After a long while, he said in a deep voice:

"If I were to kill him, I would kill you first. It was you who sent him to die."

"He was the one who insisted on dying." The nun said indifferently, "If the four of them join forces, Chen Yi will have no chance of survival."

You Xu suddenly had the urge to draw his sword.

But when he saw the hilt of Xue Chengdong's three-foot-long white sword, which was enshrined in Prince Jing's Mansion, move slightly, he quickly suppressed his anger.

I only heard Yin Weiying slowly throw out the temptation:

"Kill him, and Prince Jing's Mansion will do everything it can to find you another martial arts master."

When You Xu heard this, he was shaken.

“Before you kill him, Prince Jing’s Mansion will use the Black Fox Meridian Restoring Ointment to help you repair your meridians, which will be enough to allow you to return to the fourth rank.” The white-robed female priest increased the stakes.

"it is good…"

After a long while, You Xu uttered a word and then asked:

"What about the Imperial Observatory? They have the Spring and Autumn Register." "The Lin family will let him take over the Imperial Observatory first."

Yin Weiying's words made You Xu completely put aside his last bit of hesitation.

"Then I will kill him, and from now on, I will have nothing to do with you."

You Xu said in a deep voice.

Yin Weiying turned a deaf ear to it.

She once again recalled Chen Yi's disgusting face.

Yin Weiying had no hesitation in killing him.

He took away her Taoist partner in the prophecy and also saved her at the Huaishui Temple. They had both hatred and kindness. Logically, she should not kill him. Even if she took back her Taoist partner, she should spare his life.

But compared with the great and eternal path of forgetfulness, these grudges are too small.
Morning fungi don't know Hui Shuo, worms don't know Spring and Autumn.

"When you are happy, you forget to speak; when you are wise, you forget to feel; love and hate are divided; life and death are repeated once."

When the rooster that was used to summon the souls of the dead crowed, all of Chen Yi turned into ashes.

........................

"What happened? Chen Yi."

Suddenly, a maid brought her back from the lotus pond and took her to a side room. Yin Tingxue was completely confused by all of this.

Min Ning stood aside holding a knife, looking at Chen Yi with a questioning look.

"The Lin Party wants to force the emperor to abdicate. Next, I will go to the Imperial Observatory and seize the Spring and Autumn Register."

Chen Yi briefly recounted the incident.

Min Ning's expression changed slightly, obviously realizing that this matter was of great importance.

After some hesitation, she asked:
"You...want to help the Lin Party?"

"I only help myself. I will help anyone who can help me, whether it's the Lin Party, the Queen Mother, or the Jing Palace."

Chen Yi said calmly:
“…Anyway, trust me.”

Min Ning looked at Chen Yi, wanting to say something but stopping herself. Finally, she nodded slightly.

Over the past few days, she and Chen Yi have already established a trust that does not require much explanation.

"Next, you will do as I say. Take my token with you to the West Factory..."

Chen Yi stood up, leaned over to Min Ning's ear, and whispered instructions on the next steps.

The capital city was about to fall into chaos, everything was mixed together like a ball of paste, but he had very few cards in his hand, and every one of them had to be used to the fullest.

Yin Tingxue sat quietly, watching the two of them talking in low voices about their plans.

She didn't want to get involved, not to mention that when Zhou Yitang let her go, he left a spell on her body, preventing her from revealing that Jian Jia was also involved in the conspiracy.

After explaining this to Min Ning, Chen Yi let out a breath and said:
"Take Tingxue with you. Lin Yan still depends on me. The Lin family won't stop you."

Min Ning nodded heavily and stretched out her hand to Yin Tingxue. The daughter of King Xiang took it obediently and turned her head to look at Chen Yi. Ever since she was taken as Chen Yi's concubine, she had hardly ever been separated from Chen Yi. Now the capital was about to be in chaos. If something unexpected happened, she might never see Chen Yi again.

Chen Yi rubbed her head and then kissed her forehead.

Yin Tingxue couldn't express her feelings. She didn't like this man and held a grudge against him. The moment she looked at him, there was no trace of lingering feelings at all.

But she was married after all, wearing a hairpin, and he was still her husband, so she imitated her mother and whispered with concern: "You have to be careful."

"I have to take you back to Yintai Temple afterwards."

Chen Yi knew that she was pretending to care about him, but that was just right. He loved watching this little fox who didn't want to care about him but had to.

Yin Tingxue raised her eyebrows. It seemed that he remembered. Once things were over, if nothing unexpected happened, he would take her to Yintai Temple immediately.

But...if nothing unexpected happens, will she never be able to leave him?

When Yin Tingxue thought of this, her raised eyebrows drooped again.

After Min Ning took Yin Tingxue away, Chen Yi took a deep breath, put his hand on the hilt of the knife, and walked in another direction.
