At the residence of Zhou Gong Zhu in Xingningfang, a clerk was anxiously waiting for Helan Minzhi in the living room.

He was sent to secretly deliver a letter to Helan Minzhi. What he wanted to tell Helan Minzhi was that the prince was ready to search his residence. But now he had been waiting in the living room for almost half an hour, but still no sign of Helan Minzhi. He was a little unable to sit still. Seeing that the prince's men were about to kill to Duke Zhou's mansion, he could not see Helan Minzhi again. If he could not complete the task, he might be buried with Helan Minzhi!

After hesitating for a while, he saw that there was no one in the living room and no one paid attention to him in the courtyard, so he stopped waiting for Helan Minzhi, but hurriedly ran away.

Let’s talk about Helan Minzhi. Others are in the Duke of Zhou’s Mansion, but not in his own courtyard, but in a small courtyard in the back garden of the mansion.

Because this small courtyard is in the back garden of the Principal Mansion, it looks very remote. In addition, the plum blossoms are blooming in the back garden, so the environment is very quiet. But in such a place to enjoy the scenery, there are quarrels in the courtyard of the garden.

"Miss of the Zhou family, you have to think clearly. This time it wasn't someone who forced you, but you were willing to do it. No matter who asked you in the future, you would have to answer this way?" Helan Minzhi in the courtyard said to Zhou Juan.

Since Mr. Zhao came up with an idea last time, he sent someone to send only one letter to Zhou Juan. The woman, known as a savage girl, obediently listened to his orders and avoided the spy arranged by Li Hong near the Noodle Noodle Restaurant to come to the Duke of Zhou's Mansion. Because this was Yang's mansion, he arranged Zhou Juan in his yard for fear of being discovered by Yang, so he settled Zhou Juan here.

Zhou Juan's face was very pale and she looked very haggard.

She has thought a lot in the past two days, but in the end she has compromised with Helan Minzhi.

Today, she finally made up her mind to agree to Helan Minzhi's request, and then she called Helan Minzhi to the small yard. After hearing Helan Minzhi's words, she looked at Helan Minzhi with contempt, and then said in a cold tone, "Since I have already agreed to the Duchy of Zhou, I will not regret it anymore. However, Duchy of Zhou must also remember what she said, and let Zhou Xing go immediately, and do not make things difficult for him in the future."

If Helan Minzhi hadn't arrested his younger brother Zhou Xing and threatened him with Zhou Xing's life, how could she have agreed to marry Helan Minzhi as her concubine?

Just by doing this, she could only let down the man she was thinking about. When she thought of the first time she met him, the little memory she had with him, and the moment of happy time. Even if her character was chaste, her eyes were filled with tears.

Helan Minzhi watched coldly. He knew why Zhou Juan was crying at this time, wasn’t it because of Prince Li Hong?

Because Zhou Juan has fallen in love with Prince Li Hong.

Therefore, when he saw Zhou Juan crying with tears on his face, he felt very happy. The humiliation that was suppressed in his heart after being bullied and beaten by Li Hong that day was also relieved a lot. Thinking of the fact that this vicious woman would be ridden under her crotch in two days, when the prince Li Hong would feel even more comfortable if he knew the painful expression of this scene.

"Don't worry about this. I, Helan Minzhi, will naturally count my words. Moreover, in the future, I will not only not cause trouble for Zhou Xing, but also help him in the high school imperial examination and recommend him to become an official in the court." Helan Minzhi said in a high tone.

"Of course, you also remember what you said today. You voluntarily marry me as your concubine. No one forces you to do so. Even when His Majesty, the Empress and the Crown Prince ask, you should answer this way." Helan Minzhi reminded again.

It is not difficult to force Zhou Juan to marry her as a concubine, but the difficulty is that the prince will know how to solve this problem in the future.

As long as Zhou Juan admits that she took the initiative to marry her, even if the prince knows, he will have no choice but to do anything to him. Because he did not force Zhou Juan, when the prince wants to do anything to him, he will have reason to confront him in Zichen Hall.

Therefore, Helan Minzhi reminded Zhou Juan many times to remember what she said.

Zhou Juan didn't know that Helan Minzhi was guarding against Li Hong, so she naturally agreed without hesitation, "Don't worry, as long as you agree to my request and let Zhou Xing go, if His Majesty, the Empress, the Prince and the others ask about it in the future, I will not tell you about this."

Helan Minzhi knew Zhou Juan’s personality a little bit, and he felt much more relieved when he saw her say this.

At this time, he became bolder, so he stepped forward and walked to Zhou Juan two steps, raised Zhou Juan's jaw with one hand, and said in a lewd tone, "You will wait to enter the bridal chamber with me in three days..."

But before he finished speaking, he saw Helan Chong hurried into the small yard, "Mr. Lang, something is wrong."

His good things were suddenly disturbed by others. Helan Minzhi asked with an unhappy look, "Helan Chong, what makes him so panicked?"

Helan Chong said nervously, "Mr. Lang, it's not good! The prince led people into the mansion, saying that he wanted to search for a batch of gold, silver and jade artifacts. They were almost at the back garden..."

"What?" Helan Minzhi was frightened by Helan Chong's answer. After a while, he asked anxiously, "Where is Mrs. Rongguo? Why didn't she stop the prince and the others?"

"This, after seeing the prince, Mrs. Rongguo had been tied up by the prince's personal guard before she could speak." He Lan Chong said in horror.

In the past, he relied on Helan Minzhi's power to bully the people everywhere, but even when he saw officials under the third rank, he didn't take it seriously. Because of Helan Minzhi's relationship with the prince, the prince was a sickly person who lived in the Eastern Palace, so it did not take the prince seriously. This was why he wanted to rush forward when Helan Minzhi was humiliated in front of Danfeng Gate last time.

Even though he was cut off one arm by Li Hong at Danfeng Sect last time, he only hated Li Hong but not feared him.

However, today when he saw the Empress's mother, the prince's grandmother, Mrs. Rong Guo, who was tied up by the prince without saying a word in front of the prince, he realized that he was wrong. The weak and cowardly prince used to be just an illusion he saw. Today, the cold and ruthless prince, with a murderous look, is the real crown prince of the Tang Dynasty.

"Hurry, hide her and I'll go ahead and take a look."

Seeing that Mrs. Rongguo could not stop Li Hong, Helan Minzhi knew that he was in danger today, so after saying this to Helan Chong, he hurriedly left.

However, Helan Minzhi hurriedly left the back garden. Instead of walking towards the front yard, he ran straight to the back door of the Duke's Mansion.

He was going to run away - because he knew that today the prince searched the Duke's Mansion and even Yang was tied up. What could he do if he was going to the front yard? The only way was to escape quickly and go to his aunt to complain. As long as he told his aunt that the prince had tied up the lady Rongguo, he believed that the aunt would be furious and would send someone to yell at the time to scold the prince, so that the prince would not find the gold, silver and jade he had hidden in the mansion and Zhou Juan.

This is Helan Minzhi's shrewdness.

Helan Minzhi hurried to the back door of the Duke's Mansion. When he quickly opened the door and rushed out of the Duke's Mansion, he ran forward two steps and his body froze. Because he raised his head, he saw that the thirty Chang'an County runners in this alley were quietly staring at him like a monkey, under the leadership of an official in his forties.

"Are you?" Helan Minzhi roared.

"The prince of Chang'an County, Bo Luo Binwang has been waiting for Duke Zhou for a long time. His Royal Highness is waiting for Duke Zhou in the mansion, and he also asked Duke Zhou and his superiors to meet the prince together." Luo Binwang looked at Helan Minzhi contemptuously and said.

When he first arrived in Chang'an City, he heard about Helan Minzhi's domineering behavior. Therefore, even though Helan Minzhi was a noble person and was the Duke who attacked the country, he was still a third-rank Sanqi Changshi, but Luo Binwang despised his character and did not look at him directly.

"Luo Binwang, the Empress is my scene. I am the Empress's nephew. I have something to go to the palace to report to the Empress. If you are..." Helan Minzhi still wanted to use the Empress to suppress Luo Binwang, but who is Luo Binwang? How could he be a person who is afraid of the powerful? Otherwise, Li Hong would not have arranged Luo Binwang here. Therefore, before Helan Minzhi finished speaking, Luo Binwang snorted disdainfully and said, "Why don't you take it down for me and tie him up-!"

When the yamen runners heard this, they knew Helan Minzhi's identity, but now they were doing things for the prince, so they naturally did not dare to neglect them. After agreeing, they rushed forward and tied Helan Minzhi into a rice dumpling.

When Helan Minzhi was tied to the main hall of the Duke of Zhou's Mansion, he saw Prince Li Hong drinking tea on the throne, and Yang was accompanying him.

Helan Minzhi was very surprised to see this scene. Why did Yang eat tea here if he wasn't tied up? But when his eyes looked around the hall again and saw Helan Chong, who had been tied up in many ways and Zhou Xing with a blue nose and a swollen face, he let out a tragic scream in his heart, because he knew that he was finished, because he knew that the matter of using Zhou Xing to force Zhou Juan had been exposed.

If there were other things, my sister would probably come forward, and with Empress Wu coming forward to make it clear, he believed that Li Hong would still give these two people a face and would not hold him accountable.

But now that Zhou Juan’s affairs have been exposed, it is difficult to deal with.

He dared to force the woman the prince likes to be his concubine. He knew that if this matter was heard by Empress Wu, even if he had ten more sisters to plead, it would probably be useless!

What made Helan Min even more shocked was that Yang didn't look like someone tied up by Li Hong. If Yang knew that she forced Zhou Juan to be her concubine, what would she think? Without her support, can she still be as arrogant as before in the future?

Thinking of this, Helan Minzhi was so angry that he saw Zhang Bo, the county magistrate sitting in the head of His Highness, and a mouthful of blood actually gushed out... (To be continued)
