Chapter 146: Luring the Snake Out of the Hole
This rumor was still spreading outside, and it was about to intensify, but Cheng Jinzhi's carriage stopped steadily in front of the Jin Palace. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
There is no doubt that when the subordinates in the Jin Palace's Mansion saw Cheng Jinzhi so generous and casually stepped into the gate of the palace, their eyes widened in disbelief.
In their opinion, this Princess Yan can now be described as the central figure standing on the cusp. Even if he wasn't given "so, so, so, so" by Gao Heng, who was his husband, then he should stay in King Yan's mansion honestly in order to avoid suspicion, and he didn't step out of the door.
At this moment, they went out against the wind and came to this most undesirable place, and there was no fear or weakness on their faces, which made them even more surprised, and they couldn't help but guess in their hearts-
Has this Princess Yan broken the jar and let it out?
"Your Highness, please come out. ”
Cheng Jinzhi raised his voice, put his hands around his shoulders menacingly, and followed by the pretending to be serious and looking for plums, looking not only righteous and awe-inspiring, but also a little awe-inspiring.
And when she saw Cheng Jinzhi's different posture from the past, even if these little servants and maidservants had more ideas in their hearts, they could only quickly run into the inner courtyard to inform her.
In fact, how could she not feel the strange gaze constantly projected from all angles around her?
It's just that now there are demons outside the high wall, and it is out of control, and she is not in the mood to pay attention to this small group of ugly people who like to make more troubles at the moment.
The most important thing is that he and Gao Xun are clear and at ease.
This sense of self-confidence is like a barrier in front of her heart, isolating the dark side of resentment in the depths of her heart.
At the same time, it also supports Cheng Jinzhi's bent desire to find out the sinner and prove his innocence.
"Golden Branch, you... How dare you come? You haven't heard of ...... outside."
After sitting in the side hall and waiting for a while, I saw Gao Xun walking over with a surprised face and a little unresponsiveness, accompanied by a servant girl and a servant.
Because of the previous incident with the princess of Nanchu, Gao Xun was already heartbroken and depressed.
Later, after being comforted by Cheng Jinzhi, he improved a little, and now he was caught off guard by this extremely destructive rumor, only to see that his whole face was pale, his expression was numb, and even his head seemed to be covered with a dark cloud.
Although I can barely see a little urgency and worry in my eyes, this kind of performance is too calm and abnormal compared to the lively and lively words I used to have.
"Why didn't I dare come?"
Cheng Jinzhi's eyebrows were locked, and he glanced at the two palace subordinates behind Gao Xun, and his eyes revealed a bit of coldness.
"Is Your Highness willing to be wronged like this, poked in the back and pointed at your back?"
"I... Of course I'm not reconciled!"
Gao Xun raised his voice and drank, this momentum had just recovered a little, but in an instant, he quickly lowered his eyes.
"If one or two people spread rumors and make trouble, I will definitely arrest them and punish them severely. But now that there are so many mouths chewing on the root of the tongue outside, what can we do to plug it?"
"This King of Jin, when he is usually fine, he is always noisy and overly clever, when he encounters such a critical moment, why can't he be lifted like a pickled radish?"
Cheng Jinzhi pursed his lips in disgust, and saw Gao Xun clenching his teeth helplessly, and a thick sadness appeared between his eyebrows.
"They slander me, forget it, this matter reaches the ears of my father, maybe he can spare me from my marriage with Princess Nanchu. It's just that... I can't let these people maliciously slander you and the third brother's reputation. ”
Looking at Gao Xun's angry but helpless face, a certain place in the depths of Cheng Jinzhi's heart suddenly tightened, and a touch of sadness appeared in his originally awe-inspiring eyes.
Why wasn't he in the center of the vortex like himself?
But even though he was burdened by political marriage and tormented by this sudden gossip, he still remembered himself and Gao Heng in his heart.
"Your Royal Highness King Jin, don't worry, I'm here to save you. ”
Cheng Jinzhi stepped forward and put his hand on Gao Xun's shoulder, his eyes flashed, and he gave him a comforting smile.
"What? help me?"
Gao Xun looked at Cheng Jinzhi with a puzzled expression, but looking at the sincere determination contained in every inch of her gaze, he couldn't help but feel a lot more steady.
"yes. ”
Cheng Jinzhi smiled, deliberately raising the volume, but the smile on his lips suddenly became a little cold and gloomy.
"Maybe some people think that you are a bully, so they dare to make a mistake in your house, thinking that they can get away with it without knowing it. I'm here to clear the portal for you today. ”
However, as soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly felt a sharp gaze projected diagonally from the opposite direction.
It's just that before Cheng Jinzhi met this gaze, the feeling of staring was soon fleeting and there was no trace.
She followed this strange perception and looked forward, but what she saw was the handsome maid who had come with Gao Xun and was standing behind him.
I saw that her face was solemn and her head was slightly lowered at this time, and it seemed to be a little different from when she entered the door.
After feeling Cheng Jinzhi's gaze stop, he couldn't help but gently purse the corners of his lips, and subconsciously pressed his head lower.
"Clear the portal, Golden Branch, what the hell does this mean?"
Out of the cautious mentality of not letting go of any suspicious person, Cheng Jinzhi was suspicious and wanted to take a few more looks, but seeing that Gao Xun couldn't wait to ask repeatedly, he could only temporarily withdraw his gaze.
"Your Royal Highness King Jin, don't be impatient. As for your housekeeper here, please call me over. ”
"Go, go, go and call Steward Liu for me. ”
Gao Xun has always trusted Cheng Jinzhi, and although he didn't explain it clearly at this time, he didn't seem to have a way to deal with it, so he didn't ask more questions at the moment, and without saying a word, he beckoned the little guy on the side to call someone.
Three minutes later, I saw a slippery-looking and slightly fat old man hurriedly stepping into the threshold.
After seeing Cheng Jinzhi, his eyebrows moved, his eyes rolled, and he bowed to her with a smile on his face.
"Villain Liu Yibai, I don't know why Princess Yan urgently summoned the villain to come?"
"You don't. Cheng Jinzhi smiled at her, "Except for His Royal Highness the King of Jin, how many people are there in your mansion?"
"Back to the princess, if the little one remembers correctly, this up and down should add up to thirty-two. ”
"Thirty-two. ”
Cheng Jinzhi thought about it and nodded, his eyes darkened, and then he said lightly.
"Then there's Steward Lao Liu, call them all over to me. ”
