Chapter 653: Means
"Is there a problem with this butterfly?" Changle asked timidly. She never thought that the butterfly was a conspiracy of others, she only thought that the butterfly was beautiful, and she wanted to catch it, but unexpectedly walked into the courtyard.
"Maybe. This will not be known until the detectives have confirmed it. Jiang Chengzi replied.
Changle suddenly became scared, very nervous, and whispered: "If there is a problem, then there are bad people in the East Palace." Isn't the prince's brother in danger? No, I'm going to tell the prince's brother. β
"Huh. Jiang Chengzi sneered and said, "Is the princess really stupid, or is she pretending to be confused?"
Changle shook his head and said, "Ah Zhi, you said to me directly, I, I really don't understand." β
When she said that, she almost cried.
"I don't want to think about it, how come there are no heavy troops in the other courtyard that was originally heavily guarded? Who can transfer heavy troops in the East Palace?" Jiang Chengzi said bluntly.
She originally felt that this matter had nothing to do with Li Chengqian. Li Chengqian has always loved Li Liqian, and now that Li Chengqian has torn his face with the eldest grandson, he naturally doesn't want this sister to marry the eldest grandson. 's sister marries Changsun Chong, which is tantamount to forcing her to die. Of course he's going to have to figure it out.
If she is replaced by Li Chengqian, she will naturally let Changle know that Changsun Chong is a bad person first. Moreover, Jiang Chengzi admires Li Chengqian very much, this is also a young man who is well versed in human nature and people's hearts. He deeply understands that if he directly told Li Lizhen that Changsun Chong was a bad person, based on Li Lizhen's previous worship of Changsun Chong and his satisfaction with this family business, Li Lizhen would definitely not believe it. Not only did he not believe it, but he would also inform Changsun Chong of this because of the girl's rebellious psychology.
Therefore, it was really clever for him to listen to the wall in such a way that Changle knew, instead of telling her directly.
"Ah, you, you mean this is what the prince's brother means?" Changle's face changed.
Jiang Chengzi was a little annoyed when he saw her like that, and couldn't help but sneer, "You have to be glad that you have such a brother." In such a difficult situation, I still plan for your sister, and I don't want you to jump into the fire pit. β
When Changle heard this, the whole person was stunned, and after a while, tears flowed down.
Jiang Chengzi didn't like to cry, so he said impatiently: "What are you crying about? Your eldest brother paves the way for you and plans for your happiness, you should laugh." β
"Hmm. I cried with joy. Changle said.
"Now, do you still want to go to the East Palace to talk about this?" Jiang Chengzi asked.
Changle shook his head, and Jiang Chengzi told again: "You have to pretend not to know now." Your eldest brother helped you like this, because I want you to hear what kind of person Changsun Chong is, and you know it in your own heart. Then, it's up to you to decide your own business. After deciding, your brother or brother can plan for you. β
"Brother?" Changle was a little puzzled.
"I'm not here to talk to you?" Jiang Chengzi asked rhetorically.
"Third brother!" Changle suddenly realized and became happy. It turned out that in addition to the eldest brother, the third brother also had to help her.
Although Jiang Chengzi doesn't like Changle to calculate Chai Lingwu, after all, she is Li Ke's sister, and she has heard Li Ke say that in her previous life, the eldest sister who married into the eldest grandson's family hinted that he should be careful, and also hinted that he should be careful of the concubine Xiao. At the time, he didn't take it to heart. She can be regarded as having Li Ke as a younger brother in her heart. With that in mind, she didn't do too much.
"You believe in him, give him faith. We know this, so we naturally want to protect you. Jiang Chengzi said slowly.
"Ah Zhi, you, will you also protect me?" Changle asked a little shyly.
She has always been curious about Yang's Azhi. Hearing about her deeds, I am full of yearning. Just now, Yang's Azhi said a few words, which made her afraid again. This time, she said that she would also protect her, and Changle suddenly felt better, with a strange shyness.
"I only protect my family and my friends. You are his sister, and naturally you are family. However, I also told you that if you count the people I care about, don't blame me for being ruthless. Jiang Chengzi said slowly.
Changle nodded again and again and said, "I know, I remember." β
Jiang Chengzi didn't dwell on this topic much, and only continued to ask what he wanted to know. She looked at Changle and asked, "Then, princess, you answered me the first question, and I will personally verify it." Now let me ask you the second question: On that day, the Lizheng Palace invited a banquet for the heroes, who suggested it? Did you really ask my brother-in-law to meet?"
Changle recalled carefully and said: "At first, my mother said that Cousin Ah Wu seemed to have changed a lot, and this time he made a great contribution. She deserves to meet this kid. Then, Mama Zhou suggested that my mother apply to my father to hold a celebration banquet in the Lizheng Palace, where Cousin Awu and Mr. Dugu were invited, and at the same time, the eldest brother and General Zuo Tunwei were added. As for that day, wasn't it Cousin Wu who made an appointment with me?"
Changle said that later, his face had changed.
Jiang Chengzi frowned, carefully looked at the expression on Changle's face, and did not let go of the slightest, weighing in his heart how much of what she said was true.
"Isn't it?" she asked in a low voice, her face pale and haggard.
"Mama Zhou, it's interesting. I hope the princess doesn't lie to me. Jiang Chengzi smiled lightly.
Changle looked at the girl in front of him, and suddenly felt a chill all over his body, as if she said a lie, the girl could float over and tear her up.
"You, you studied under the Immortals, you should know that I am not lying. Changle stammered.
Jiang Chengzi didn't answer, but only urged her to tell her about the situation that day. Changle recalled slightly, and said that the small celebration banquet in the Lizheng Palace was a dinner party, Chai Lingwu and Dugu Sinan were all related to the royal family, but Zhang Jia, the general of Zuotunwei, was not a royal person. Therefore, several princesses of the Lizheng Palace were not allowed to attend the banquet, after all, there were strange men present. That night, the princesses stayed in their respective courtyards.
Usually, the two princesses live in their respective courtyards with the other two little princesses, and as the daughter of the eldest grandson, the eldest princess of the Tang Dynasty lives in one courtyard. That night, she stayed in the house to practice calligraphy, and after a while, the personal maid walked in and said that the princess had given a letter and asked the princess to go to the back garden to meet and discuss.
The back garden of the Lizheng Palace, covered with flowers and trees, strange rocks, and the red lanterns at night reflect the courtyard in a particularly deep place. But Changle felt that this was his own home, and he didn't feel anything wrong. As a result, when I arrived in the back garden, I saw Chai Lingwu leaning against a big rock, drunk and hazy. He didn't say a word before he fainted.
Changle didn't know what to do, so he finally asked the personal maid to move her back to her courtyard.
"Originally, he, he slept outside. But, for some reason, later, he, he sleptβ" Changle couldn't go on.
Jiang Chengzi couldn't listen to it anymore, she directly interrupted Changle and said, "This matter is very strange. My brother-in-law said that he didn't ask you to make an appointment, but a palace lady who poured wine said that you had something important, so he took the opportunity to go to the toilet to see you. But when I got there, I saw you and fainted. Now you say that it is the one he has made an appointment. It seems that this palace or your courtyard is a bit of a moth. β
Changle's mind was in turmoil before, but now she calmed down as she slowly recalled and told these things. This time, I heard that there are extremely bad demon moths in my yard or in the Lizheng Palace. Her heart suddenly froze, and she calmed down.
"Hmph, I'll pull these demon moths out. She said firmly.
"You must not startle the snake. Jiang Chengzi glanced at her, convinced that Changle was not lying.
Changle pouted a little unwillingly, and whispered, "But the more I think about it, the more scared I become." Mama Zhou has always been by her mother's side. and told me that the palace maid who Cousin Ah Wu was looking for me was the one who followed me when I was still in Taiyuan. Growing up together. β
"Princess, with all due respect, the water behind here is very deep, and you had better pretend that you don't know anything and don't act on your own. Jiang Chengzi made a cold face.
Changle looked a little frightened when he saw her, but he still whispered: "But, but I can't let others calculate like this." β
"Counting you?" Jiang Chengzi sneered and continued to pour Changle's cold water, "With all due respect, you take yourself too seriously. β
"Ah Zhi, you, don't you like me?
"Your father is very powerful, and your mother is very smart. But they can't shelter you for a lifetime, you are now the eldest princess of the Tang Dynasty and the proud daughter of the sky. But do you know this identity, what does this position represent?" Jiang Chengzi approached Changle and asked sharply.
Princess Changle hurriedly took a few steps back and replied: "Mother said that this identity is not for pleasure, but to set an example for girls in the world." β
"Your mother only said the side of the sun. Jiang Chengzi stood still.
"Then, what else is there?" Changle was really panicked.
"You are the eldest daughter of your father and mother, the eldest sister of the princess and the princess, and the younger sister of the crown prince. In addition to being a model of a girl in the world, you must also be familiar with the entire court family, rather than only knowing embroidery, writing poems, and practicing good handwriting all day long. Read the history books and take a look at the ups and downs of the dynasties and dynasties in history. Jiang Chengzi's tone softened.
Changle was shocked in place. Jiang Chengzi heard that someone was looking for Changle, so he hurriedly admonished: "Princess, I just want to understand the ins and outs of the matter when I talk to you today. β
"Oh. Changle was a little dazed, and his mind was in chaos.
"You have to remember as if nothing happened. Jiang Chengzi said.
"Ah Zhi, you said that they are not calculating me, who are they using me to calculate, and who is using me?" Changle was thinking about whose weakness he had become and who he was calculating by. However, the more she thought about it, the more confused her mind became.
"I'm also investigating now, but the enemy is nothing more than using you to calculate the Chai family, the King of Shu, your prince's brother. Jiang Chengzi glanced back at her.
Changle burst into tears, crying and said, "Ah Zhi, I, I've become a burden to them." Me, what should I do?"
"They love you and care about you. Won't feel like you're a burden. Jiang Chengzi's tone softened and gently patted the crying girl's back. "You, don't you think I'm a burden?" Changle asked timidly.
Jiang Chengzi squinted his eyes slightly and said, "Your third brother cares about you very much, I don't think you're a burden, and I naturally don't think you're a burden." β
Changle sobbed and said thank you. Jiang Chengzi didn't say much else, listening to the sound of the rain, those looking for them got closer and closer. She leaned into Changle's ear and whispered: "Who wants to calculate you, and who they want to use you to calculate, I will find out, you must not startle the snake, let those people see the clues." β
"Hmm. Changle nodded and wiped his tears.
"Finally, I have one more question for you. Jiang Chengzi whispered.
Changle opened his eyes wide, tears still hanging on his eyelashes, sniffed incessantly, and said, "Ah Zhi, you ask, I will definitely know everything." β
"Why did you send a letter to my brother-in-law? Not only do I want to know, but my brother-in-law also knows, and your attitude is the basis for their handling of this incident. Jiang Chengzi made a long story short.
Changle was a little confused, and after thinking for a while, he asked, "What is my attitude that is the basis for dealing with this matter?"
"Someone is coming, I'll cut it short. Your elder brother and your third brother think that your happiness is what matters. As for the calculations of others, hehe, fuck it. Jiang Chengzi cursed a swear word.
When Changle heard this, his face immediately turned red, and he said hesitantly: "Ah Zhi, it's not appropriate for you to say this." β
"It doesn't matter. Let me tell you directly, your happiness is what they care about. Others, they don't pay attention to them. β
Changle finally understood now, and looked at Jiang Chengzi with wide eyes, his lips trembling terribly. γ
"Really, really?" she whispered.
"Yes. Jiang Chengzi nodded very firmly, and then asked, "So, what is the meaning of the letter that the princess wrote to my brother-in-law?"
"I, I originally wanted to marry Changsun Chong, but since Donggong heard about him, I have a shadow in my heart. Moreover, at the celebration banquet, I don't know what's going on, I slept with your brother-in-law, slept together. My innocence is not guaranteed. I had told him to forget about it, but, I-" Changle was about to cry when he said this.
Jiang Chengzi didn't speak, just listened intently, but the person who came to find Changle and her stopped at the corner and stood around the corner eavesdropping.
Jiang Chengzi leaned into Changle's ear and said, "Someone is eavesdropping, you tell me in my ear now." β
Changle was startled, so he lowered his voice and said, "Since that day, I have been thinking of Cousin Wu every day, and I can't get rid of it. β
"Then do you want to marry Changsun Chong?"
Jiang Chengzi asked directly, Changle shook his head, and said, "No, I don't want to." I've asked someone, and he's a treacherous villain. β
"Do you want to marry my brother-in-law?" Jiang Chengzi asked.
Changle bit his lip, nodded slightly, and said, "I always think about him." These days, I don't know how to eat, and I try my best to withdraw from the marriage of the eldest grandson's family, but I can't think of a way. As a last resort, I wanted to write a letter to him, meet him, and ask him to help me figure out a way. β
"Good. The princess was so honest. Very good. Jiang Chengzi chuckled, and then whispered in her ear, "When you go back, everything will be done, and you will only pay attention to the people who are around you during this time." Including who asked you to go to the backyard to see my brother-in-law that night, and who you asked about Changsun Chong's situation, and the other party told you that Changsun Chong was not, all of them should be not. When this rain matter is resolved, you can send me a post and I will check. β
"Hmm. Changle was obedient to Jiang Chengzi at this time, and nodded hurriedly. However, she became worried again and asked in a low voice, "Ah Zhi, you say, cousin, will he marry me?"
"I look at him and delight you, and I always remember you. Jiang Chengzi didn't hide it.
When Changle heard this, he couldn't help but smile.
Jiang Chengzi sighed secretly: A teenage girl is really a beautiful age. One word, one thing, can be extremely happy.
"Ah Zhi, I will definitely listen to you, and I will definitely not startle the snake. Changle promised.
Jiang Chengzi nodded, then smiled at her and said, "Come, watch me deal with the eavesdropping thief." β
Changle was very curious, and then, she watched Jiang Chengzi's figure flash to the corner of the corridor, and the next moment she turned around, grabbed a person and threw it into the flower garden outside the corridor.
