Chapter 155: The Scapegoat
Luoyang relatives and friends asked each other, and a piece of ice was in the jade pot. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
This was originally a clear and beautiful sentence, but now when Cheng Jinzhi thinks about it, he feels that his mind is swollen and his mood is depressed.
An hour later, the Ice Heart Man was caught.
Unfortunately, she neither went to anyone related to the prince for help, nor did she try to contact anyone, but panicked all the way north and hid in the house of her third aunt, who was in the flat burden business in the north of the city.
When the group of people sent out by Cheng Jinzhi were rushing in to catch Bingxin and return home, they were almost smashed by her angry third aunt with a flat pole in one hand, and her face was broken, and her head bloomed.
At this time, Bingxin knelt on the ground bloodlessly, his lips were pursed, his forehead was sweating, and his whole person was trembling.
This fear is indeed not faked.
After all, she never thought that she would finally be able to escape from the palace smoothly, and she would be followed all the way, and finally dragged back with a drag.
Besides, she knew that after such a toss by herself, even if she jumped into the Yellow River, she couldn't wash it.
What frightened her even more was that the scissors specially prepared by Cheng Jinzhi finally came to use.
"Since the rumors have nothing to do with you, why did you choose to flee with a thief's heart?"
Cheng Jinzhi walked around to Bingxin and stopped, and gently twisted the slightly wrinkled sleeves.
"Slaves don't dare, slaves don't dare. Be... Yes..."
Bing Xin shook his head again and again, his eyes lit up and he just wanted to continue, but suddenly he seemed to have some concerns, he gritted his teeth and stopped talking, but the expression on his face was very sad.
Cheng Jinzhi naturally saw that there was something unspeakable in her heart, and when her eyes turned slightly, she deliberately accentuated her tone and said sternly: "What the hell is it? At this time, you still want to hide something, do you really think that I took that pair of scissors just to scare people?"
"The princess and the maid spare her life, the slave and maid say everything, say everything, please the princess and the maid don't cut the slave's tongue. ”
may have been frightened enough by the last sentence, Bingxin slammed his head towards Cheng Jinzhi twice, two lines of tears hung down from the corners of his eyes, and his face was already sad.
She gasped for several breaths in a row, and then she could barely control her trembling body and opened her mouth tremblingly.
"It's a jade pot. The slave maid listened to the jade pot, she heard with her own ears that the princess and His Royal Highness suspected that the slave and maid were the ones who spread the rumors, and the slave and maid thought of the princess's eyes when she looked at the slave and maid before, so she was terrified, and she had no choice but to follow the advice of the jade pot and wanted to go outside to avoid the limelight for a while. ”
"Jade pot?"
As soon as he heard Bing Xin mention this name, Cheng Jinzhi glanced at Gao Heng and Gao Xun vigilantly, and the small trust in the jade pot that he still had in his heart also disappeared at this moment.
"That jade pot said that she heard me and His Royal Highness the King of Jin doubt you, and you believed it?"
Cheng Jinzhi blinked his eyes in surprise, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart that this girl named Bingxin was too simple and easy to deceive.
"The jade pot and the slave maid are like sisters, and she takes good care of the slave and maid in the house, she will not lie to the slave and maid. Bing Xin said earnestly, but buried her head and lowered her voice, "Otherwise, you won't send someone to follow the slave and maid, princess Niangniang......"
"Alas, if you are sold and count the money for others, you are probably talking about people like you, right?"
Cheng Jinzhi sighed helplessly, and couldn't help but feel a sigh in his heart.
It's really a person who knows the face but doesn't know the heart, and the fire prevention, theft prevention and villain.
"So you say that, which is tantamount to confession?"
Cheng Jinzhi bent down slightly and raised his eyebrows, but saw that Bing's heart was shaking like a rattle, and hurriedly defended in a loud voice: "No, please ask the princess to know clearly! This rumor is definitely not spread by slaves!"
"Then what's going on?" Cheng Jinzhi was a little confused by Bingxin's words, "You make it all clear, if there is anything that makes me feel that you are lying, you will be punished." ”
"Yes, the slave will never dare to hide it from the princess. Bingxin slowly straightened up and cried, "The slave admitted that when she went out to buy the day before yesterday, she took advantage of the limelight to say something that shouldn't be said behind her back, and it was the slave and maid who were cheap. But this rumor was not originally spread by the slave maid, and the slave and maid are very bold, and they dare not fabricate such a lie to slander His Royal Highness and the princess!"
"You mean, you just chewed the root of your tongue with someone outside, and did your part to spread this rumor?"
Seeing that Bingxin lowered his head and didn't dare to answer, Cheng Jinzhi paced around with a sinking face, and said in a cold and hard tone: "But this can't be regarded as a modest effort." After all, you are a girl in the Jin Palace, and what you say is much more influential than those who blindly follow the trend indiscriminately. Shouldn't I thank you for fueling the rumors and making this gossip even louder?"
As soon as he heard Cheng Jinzhi's sharp words, Bingxin's body trembled suddenly, and he hurriedly put his forehead on the ground, tears rolling in his eyes. "The slave and maid should die, the slave and maid know that they are wrong, please forgive the princess Niangniang, please forgive His Royal Highness King Yan and His Royal Highness King Jin. ”
"Bingxin, you're really... So believe in the jade pot?"
Just when Bingxin sincerely bowed her head in fear and admitted her mistake, Cheng Jinzhi stared at her, and suddenly asked coldly.
Bingxin was stunned for a moment, and slowly looked up at Cheng Jinzhi, obviously seeing complex emotions from her eyes.
After a moment of silence, he nodded slightly, and then showed a worried look again.
"Princess Niangniang, is it a jade pot she... What's wrong?"
"She's fine, she's fine. ”
Cheng Jinzhi spit out a sentence with a silent face, but he always felt that it was not a taste in his heart.
She turned sideways to look at Gao Heng, who looked indifferent behind her, and Gao Xun, who shrugged her shoulders at him, and hesitated for a long time before speaking.
"The jade pot came to us just now. ”
"She's coming to find the princess and Her Royal Highness?" Bing Xin looked up and wondered, "Yes... Is it for the sake of slaves?"
"yes. ”
Cheng Jinzhi bowed slightly, twisted his head to the side, didn't look at Bingxin's eyes that still had expectations, and deliberately slowed down the speed of speech.
"Not long ago, she came to us and said that you were the one who started this rumor. ”
The moment she said this, she could feel Bingxin's whole person stunned, and the hope in her eyes vanished in an instant, and a gloom of disbelief and sadness and despair erupted.
"Impossible... No, she wouldn't do this to the slave in the jade pot. ”
Bing Xin lowered her eyes in despair and muttered to herself, tears slowly flowing from her eyes and dripping onto the marble floor.
Cheng Jinzhi originally wanted to give her a little time to calm her down, but at this moment, she saw that Bingxin, who was still secretly crying, suddenly widened her eyes, her face turned pale, her right hand supported the ground, her left hand trembled and covered her chest, and a low and painful whimper sounded in her throat.
With a violent convulsion of his body, he vomited out a mouthful of blood.
