Chapter 18: The Old Man (9)
Yuan Zhize took the secret report, looked at it carefully, and asked lightly: "Where did you find this?" "Back to the prince's words, when the slave maid cleaned up the room this morning, he inadvertently picked it up from the ground. Chunyu's answer was neither humble nor arrogant, calm and calm.
"That's... What's going on!" Yuan Zhize jerked up the secret report, and everyone could clearly see that the seal of the secret report had been opened. In the catastrophe, it seems that Chunyu is destined to not escape the trap set by Yuan Zhize.
"This secret report is about my Dacheng's military secrets, according to the "Cheng Law", stealing secrets is a felony of beheading!" When the word beheading came out of Yuan Zhize's mouth, I clearly saw that everyone present couldn't help but tremble, except for Chunyu, who was still standing there quietly.
"I didn't peek. Chunyu's justification is both simple and pale. "What about your evidence?" Yuan Zhize raised his eyebrows and asked proudly.
"There is no evidence. ”
"Haha..."Yuan Zhize's unbridled laughter filled the entire hall, and I knew that his plan had been achieved. After laughing, Yuan Zhize said: "There is no evidence, since you have no evidence to prove that you are not peeking, then the king has no evidence to prove that you peeked, for the sake of your loyalty to the princess in the past, this king will pardon your capital crime and reward you with a sum of money." You will be able to go back to your hometown early tomorrow morning, and you won't have to follow us anymore. ”
"The prince not only exempted the slave from punishment, but also rewarded the slave and maid, the prince's great kindness, the slave and the maid are grateful, and they will never forget!"
Yuan Zhize didn't expect her to accept it happily, and waved his hand uncomfortably and said, "Okay, let's deal with this matter like this, you all go down." ”
When everyone had already gone down, Chunyu was still kneeling there and refused to look up. "Didn't this king already say it, why can't you go down yet?" Yuan Zhize's words were full of annoyance.
Seeing that there was no one else around, Chunyu slowly raised his head and said coldly: "Don't you want to know why the slave didn't hand over the secret report to the prince this morning?"
"Why?" Yuan Zhize asked coldly.
Chunyu glanced at me, and then said calmly: "The slave knows that the prince has always doubted the identity of the slave and the maid and wants to let the slave and maid go. If it is handed over to the prince in the morning, the prince will use the reason just now to drive me away, or if he does not hand it over to the prince, the prince may think that the slave and maid are careless and did not find the secret report that fell on the ground, so that the slave and maid can accompany the young lady for one more day. ”
It turned out that she knew everything! Chunyu's words were like a thunderclap on the ground, and I was so shocked that I couldn't speak.
Yuan Zhize was also a little flustered, but he quickly calmed down and asked in a relaxed tone: "How do you know that I will let you stay for one more day?"
Wanyun smiled slightly, and replied: "If the slave forgot the secret report in the post house, if the prince blames it on the way, you can send a fast horse to retrieve it, it is now late at night, and it is already a hundred miles away from the post station where I stayed last night, and the prince has enough reasons to drive me away." Also..."
"What else do you want to say?" Yuan Zhize's face became more and more murderous, and his hand unconsciously rested on the hilt of the sword on his waist!
Chunyu seemed to be unaware of the danger he was facing, and still knelt there and talked: "Please forgive the slave and maid for being rude, the slave and maid guess that the prince must have ordered the post guard before leaving, if I don't find this secret message, as long as we go out with our front feet, they will then burn the secret message!"
"Enough!" Yuan Zhize was furious, this prince never thought that the bureau he had carefully arranged would be seen through by this little girl at a glance.
"Zhize!" I hurriedly stepped forward and pulled his cuffs, my eyes full of supplication. Please don't kill her, didn't you already promise me that I wouldn't embarrass her? Yuan Zhize, who was still angry, glanced at me, and pushed back the half-drawn sword.
"The slave maid was originally a cheap life, and it was all up to the prince to kill or chop up, but now the slave and maid only ask for one thing. In the face of danger, Chunyu did not have the slightest intention of retreating.
"What's the matter, tell me. Yuan Zhize had returned to normal, looked at Chunyu who was kneeling in front of him and asked coldly.
"The slave just wants to ask the prince to be kind to my young lady!"
What?!Chunyu's loud words completely stunned me and Yuan Zhize, this weak girl who is facing death threats at any time, her last wish is not to beg Yuan Zhize to let her go out, let alone ask for money and goods, when her life is at stake, she is still thinking about me!
"Spring rain..."I looked at the good sister in front of me with tears and wept silently, maybe my status is higher than hers, but compared to her, my soul is too small, too small, as if a drop of water in the sea, as small as a drop in Taicang.
"This king won't hurt you," Yuan Zhize said slowly after being shocked for a long time: "As for the thing you begged me, it is exactly what I should do, so you can rest assured." ”
"Thank you for your kindness. Chunyu bowed deeply, got up and turned to me, and said with a reluctant face: "I can no longer serve Miss in the future, Miss must live well, live happily, Miss must remember that the lord, Mrs. and all the people in the villa have not left, they are all in the sky, watching you!"
With that, two crystal tears crossed the corners of Wanyun's eyes, followed by three bangs of foreheads hitting the ground.
Chunyu then stood up, silently turned away, and walked towards the dark doorway. Spring rain, you also have to take care, get out of here quickly, through that door, you will be greeted by hope, freedom, and the future...
"Wait a minute!" Yuan Zhize, who had been silent before, suddenly spoke, and Chunyu turned around and looked at him suspiciously.
"This king has already decided," Yuan Zhize cleared his throat and said: "You don't have to leave, you can rest assured that you can stay by the princess's side in the future, and this king will definitely not trouble you again." ”
Is this true? I couldn't believe my ears, and when I saw the affirmative look in Yuan Zhize's eyes, my whole person couldn't help but cheer.
"Chunyu!" "Miss!" Chunyu and I hugged each other happily, although we were both crying at the moment, I believe we were both crying with joy!
Many years later, I often think of this scene back then, Chunyu and I hugged each other like two fools, crying and laughing, and there was a bewildered Yuan Zhize standing beside him.
Every time I sigh that time is the real thief, often inadvertently, stealing the things around you silently, years, faces, friends and even the world is regarded as an eternal relationship like gold and stone. However, at this time, with a little youthful frivolity, I did not realize that something was destined to die in my life in the future.
