Chapter 1363: Unfairness
Zhou Chengkuan frowned coldly at Ximen Yuqing, and unceremoniously continued to accuse: "Third, you don't distinguish between right and wrong, and the rewards and punishments are unknown. Obviously, it was your cousin Ximen Yumin who made a big mistake, and you were bent on covering up and concealing the facts. Not only do you want me to cover up for your cousin, but also let me not clarify or explain, so that Lu Manting is even more convinced that that man is me. You want me to suffer for your cousin, and to be wronged. Have you ever thought about how sad she would be if she was misunderstood by Yun'er? Have you ever thought about how wronged and pitiful Lu Manting is, Princess Heshuo, who is a dignified feudal princess, has suffered such a big injury and such a big grievance, and she has to be kept in the dark, and she is worried all day long, not only can she not get a little sympathy and compensation, but there is no place to get justice. Do you think that's fair to her?"
Ximen Yuqing was also angry, staring at Zhou Chengkuan with cold eyes, gritting his teeth, and said hatefully: "Then what are you going to do?
Zhou Chengkuan snorted coldly, ignoring Ximen Yuqing's knowingly question. He knew very well in his heart that Ximen Yuqing's approach was also a decision made after taking into account Lu Manting's feelings and the current overall situation.
However, Zhou Chengkuan has always been upright and benevolent, even if Ximen Yuqing's reasons are sufficient and thoughtful, he still feels that it is unfair to do so. Therefore, he was very dissatisfied with Ximen Yuqing's behavior, and the words that had been accumulated in his heart for a long time did not vomit or be unhappy.
Ximen Yuqing also didn't want to argue with Zhou Chengkuan, some things were understandable, acceptable, and reasonable, but they couldn't stand up to criticism.
It's almost noon, Lin Wan hasn't woken up yet, Ximen Yuqing stood up, walked out without looking back, and said as he walked: "I'll go first, Wan'er has something to do, go to the imperial study to find me." With that, he had already walked out of the hall and walked towards the outside of the Wanxin Palace.
The affairs of Xiling Kingdom, as long as Ximen Yuqing comes back, Ximen Longao will be completely handed over to Ximen Yuqing to take care of, and he will chant poems with his concubines in the harem all day long, enjoying flowers and butterflies.
This time, because of the presence of envoys from various countries, Ximen Longao has not completely let go, and insists on taking care of state affairs in the imperial study with Ximen Yuqing every day. However, occasionally I was tired and went back to the palace to rest for half a day.
When Ximen Yuqing left, Shangguan Yun and Nuan Xiang were each carrying a tray and walked over from the big kitchen. Seeing that Ximen Yuqing seemed to be in a bad mood, no one dared to provoke him. Originally, Nuan Xiang carefully prepared a meal for three people, and had to enjoy it cheaply for Shangguan Yun and Zhou Chengkuan.
Nuan Xiang put down the meal and turned to leave, leaving Shangguan Yun and Zhou Chengkuan sitting opposite each other, happily eating lunch.
Zhou Chengkuan saw that Shangguan Yun didn't ask anything, he was concentrating on eating, and he was very happy and satisfied. Zhou Chengkuan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, smiled gently, and said dotingly: "Eat slowly, I won't rob you." ”
Shangguan Yun raised his head, smiled at Zhou Chengkuan, and said mischievously: "If you don't grab it, you won't eat well." ”
Zhou Chengkuan chuckled and shook his head, his mood suddenly became happy, and he really rushed to eat her favorite dishes with Shangguan Yun, and didn't let her at all.
Shangguan Yun saw that Zhou Chengkuan was so accommodating to himself, and he only felt so sweet in his heart that he was tired, as if he was already full before he had eaten.
The two of them ate a meal for half an hour, and before they knew it, they ate too much and ate all the food of the three people.
After eating, Shangguan Yun shouted that he wanted to take a walk, Zhou Chengkuan nodded in response, took Shangguan Yun's hand, and slowly walked towards the lake together.
The afternoon breeze blows across the calm lake, creating layers of shallow water marks. The willows are blowing, the spring breeze is warm, the birds are crying a few times from time to time on the branches, and the wind blows the bamboo leaves, making the sound of "squirming".
Zhou Chengkuan and Shangguan Yun walked side by side around the lake. After walking for about a quarter of an hour, Zhou Chengkuan finally spoke slowly: "Yun'er, there are some things that I haven't told you, because I am worried that you are simple-minded and will not hide it, in case you show your feet and be seen by someone with a heart, it will cause us a big disaster." However, what happened last night, if I have been hiding it from you, I am afraid that you will be cranky and misunderstood. ”
Shangguan Yun was stunned, looked up at Zhou Chengkuan, blinked his big bright eyes, and asked cautiously, "Is it about Lu Manting?"
Zhou Chengkuan was secretly shocked in his heart, nodded with some hesitation, and said, "It's about Lu Manting, but it has nothing to do with me." ”
Shangguan Yun "snorted", laughed, raised his eyes to look at Zhou Chengkuan's serious and uneasy face, lowered his head a little shyly, and muttered in a low voice: "Of course it has nothing to do with you, do I still suspect that something happened to you and her that shouldn't have happened?"
Zhou Chengkuan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, his face was suddenly full of smiles, his eyes were bright, he happily took Shangguan Yun's hand, and said excitedly: "If you have a wife like you, what more can you ask for!"
Shangguan Yun suddenly heard Zhou Chengkuan's love words, and immediately raised his head in shock, looked at him with wide eyes, and said in a trembling voice with a red face: "Can you say it again?"
Zhou Chengkuan smiled softly, leaned closer, and said word by word: "Yun'er, I will recognize you in my life, are you willing to marry me?"
Shangguan Yun's big eyes were suddenly filled with tears and blurred his eyes. Because he couldn't see his sweetheart in front of him clearly, Shangguan Yun desperately blinked out his tears again, and asked in a daze: "His Royal Highness King Ping, can I really be your Princess Ping?"
Zhou Chengkuan shook his head with a smile, and said softly: "I am not His Royal Highness King Ping, and you can't be Princess Ping, will you be disappointed?"
Shangguan Yun was stunned, looked at Zhou Chengkuan with wide eyes, and didn't react for a long time. After a long while, the smile on Zhou Chengkuan's face was about to stiffen, Shangguan Yuncai suddenly smiled and hugged Zhou Chengkuan, buried his head in his arms, and said incoherently: "Great, you are not His Royal Highness King Ping, and I don't have to be Princess Ping." You don't have to reprimand your subordinates with the princess's shelf, and you don't have to prevent your side concubines and concubines from making tricks against me, let alone counting how many times you can come to my room a month...... You'd better be so poor that you can't afford to have a concubine or a servant, and only the two of us work at sunrise and rest at sunset...... But is everything you say true?"
Zhou Chengkuan hugged his sweetheart in his arms, lowered his head in her ear, and whispered: "Yun'er, you are so good, thank you for being willing to ask me." kissed her sideburns, and continued: "Yun'er, I am not His Royal Highness King Ping Zhou Tianqi of the Great Feudal Kingdom, but his cousin Zhou Chengkuan, a royal child who has long been lost, my father is King Wu who was deposed more than ten years ago. After the death of both parents, I was quietly taken out of the palace by my father's men, and I grew up incognito for nearly ten years, living in hatred and conflict. ”
