Chapter 275
"That's nature. Su Meng knew the severity. In this way, the favor he and his mother received will make the people in the harem uncomfortable somewhat, right?"
"There are few masters in the harem, and almost all of them were accepted when their father was in the palace. In fact, since the death of Empress Xiaoyi, the one who can enter the eyes of his father is the biological mother of the Seventh Prince, Concubine Nian. When Shen Tong said this, his eyes were filled with deep affection, and he said affectionately with a little envy, "It is said that Concubine Nian looks like Queen Xiaoyi." You said, it is rare for the emperor to have such affection. β
Qingxi pursed her lips and said, "But for that Nian Concubine Niangniang, it's not a lucky thing!" She raised her eyes and saw that Shen Tong didn't seem to hear her words, and she was still immersed in her emotions, so she said in a harmonious voice, "Sister Tong, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should also be a person who values love and righteousness, and you, too, will be so affectionate!"
Shen Tong eased up at this time, and the corner of his mouth smiled faintly, "Marrying into the emperor's family, if you want to be so affectionate, you won't be able to get along with yourself." You are right, the father's deep affection for Empress Xiaoyi is a harm to the queen mother and the concubine. β
"So the queen mother to King Heng?" Qingxi's question arose again.
"It's not hard to guess. On this trip, only the queen and the crown princess were accompanied by the ladies in the palace. Looking at the girl's dress temperament, it is by no means an ordinary palace maid. Then there are only the family members of Lord Su who came by order. β
It seemed that he had seen himself clearly in the morning, Qingxi bit his lip, and replied confidently, "Since you know who Su Meng is, then be fair, Su Meng should also know your identity." β
"Fair?" the other laughed again.
Qingxi felt that although he was sitting and standing by himself, it seemed that he was the condescending person, not himself. It was a very bad feeling, and she hated his smile so contemptuously, such an attitude was not worthy of that bold and chic. "What are you laughing at?"
The other party smiled and said gently, "Miss Su, you used the wrong word." Fairness, in the current environment, it is not suitable for you Su Meng. β
Qingxi sulked, she didn't mean to do so, but she didn't plan to explain further. Because it seems that no matter what she says, no matter how hard or soft her attitude is, what she says and asks questions is like a fist on cotton, useless and powerless.
There was silence for a moment, except for the whimper of the kitten in the corner. Qingxi walked over, squatted down again, and pouted, "Blame you little villains for luring Su Meng here." It's good now, but I don't know if it's with the cat or with the wolf. She thought she would wait for the other party's response, but she didn't hear anyone reply for a while. She turned around questioningly, only to see that he was already standing behind him at some point.
"Miss Su is so unalert, no wonder she is trapped here!"
Qingxi stood up suddenly, and still couldn't help but sneer, "If you are so alert as Your Excellency, aren't you still trapped here!"
"That's because of you!" said the other man with an understatement. fell into Qingxi's ears, but it was piercing, which was blaming himself for dragging him down. It's still a shame to think about it, if he hadn't broken in by himself and was accidentally discovered, it seemed like he didn't have to be here. But when he thought about it, even if he didn't have himself, he wouldn't be able to avoid the eyes of those two people. But the crux of the matter is, why are they hiding? She was thinking, only to hear a deep voice above her head, "Whatever you hear or see tonight, act as if nothing happened." This is for your good and for your father. β
Qingxi frowned slightly, somehow, even if she complained about him, she didn't doubt his words. Tonight she heard the two of them plotting something unspeakable, and one of them called the other the prince. Today, the saint has no heirs, three sons and four daughters. In addition to the crown prince, the son is the sixth highness King Heng and the seventh highness who has not yet reached the age of king, so only the sixth highness can be called the prince. But the man's voice was not like that of a young man, revealing the composure of a middle-aged man. There are three brothers in the saint, the king of Yu who does not ask about the world, the gentle and elegant king of Xiang, and the king of Guang, who is brave and good at fighting. Which one is it? No matter which one it is, it really wasn't her who provoked it. However, even if she knows about such a sinister scheme, she will not be able to pass through the wind silently and the water without a trace. After thinking about it, the whole person fell silent. She looked up slightly, surveying the man in front of her again. He looks as old as his brother, and it is impossible for him to be an important minister in the court at such an age. Although I don't look carefully at the texture of his dress, I know that he is quite particular at a glance, and he must be from a big family. His attitude seemed to be a little fearless, and even at the critical moment that seemed dangerous to her just now, he didn't feel a trace of fear behind him, and he was still chuckling at that time. Her eyes lit up as she Γ· the book, and suddenly a spirit, as if something had crossed her head, suddenly brightened. "Su Meng knows who you are?"
The other party also bowed his head slightly, looking at her. Their positions were just enough to be illuminated by the moonlight on half of their faces, and their eyes were facing each other, and they all had their own minds to explore.
"Then tell me, who is Su Meng?"
"Today's Sixth Highness, King Heng, Xiao Yizheng. β
As soon as Qingxi's words fell, the other party's laughter gradually rose, hearty and happy.
"Miss Su knows that calling the prince by his name is considered disrespectful. β
The corners of Qingxi's mouth twitched slightly, not only was he not a little afraid, but he had a joy that could not be hidden, because his words showed that he was right, "Your Highness just said that no matter what happens tonight, Su Meng will treat it as if he doesn't know." Therefore, the great disrespect is naturally gone. β
Xiao Yizheng's eyebrows were raised, his eyes narrowed slightly, his eyes were even hotterΓ· he looked at Qingxi carefully, turned around and sat down again, but did not speak again. His mind was confused for a moment, and his inexplicable intuition told him that this Su girl's rash appearance might change some things. But it was clear that she didn't know it yet. If she is shrewd, she believes in a stranger so unreservedly when she is held hostage by herself; if she is dull, she can quickly and correctly judge her identity just by talking and observing; if she is fearless, there is a helpless panic in her eyes that she has to hide; if she is cowardly, she doesn't seem to be half worried about being in the same room with a strange man, even if she knows her identity, she doesn't give in between words and conversations, which is really interesting. But in the current situation, he must sort out the clues and make proper arrangements.
Qingxi saw that he was silent for a long time, and then he became a little timid again, and once again remembered that he was in the dead of night, in an inaccessible place, and the fear that he had to suppress began to be stupid. "Your Highness, I'm afraid no one will come to look for Su Meng tonight. You don't have to wait until tomorrow morning to find you, right?" she asked in a low voice.
Xiao Yizheng raised his head slightly, and shook his head slightly, "It won't be so fast." β
