Chapter 374: Malicious Deception
Although it was just a simple sentence, Yuan Peng had already heard the deep meaning of Princess Yuan Xi's words. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Even if she didn't ask any more, in her heart, there were more or less sporadic feelings about this brother who had always been her deep believer.
She could only persuade herself over and over again in her heart that Yuan Peng had a hard time.
No matter how much he hides from himself, he still won't be involved in the words "exploiting", "cheating", and "hurting" after all.
Now that only by returning to the palace can she understand the ins and outs of some things.
Only by seeing with her own eyes that Gao Heng and Yan Wangfu are safe and sound, can her hanging heart be completely let go.
"Brother Huang, I want to go back to the palace now, you shouldn't stop me anymore, right?"
She withdrew her gaze from the misty lake, her eyes wandering, and she squeezed out a far-fetched smile towards Yuan Peng.
"According to your unrelenting nature, why don't you ask, why can King Yan get out of danger?"
And Yuan Peng's eyebrows moved slightly, and when he saw the sullen look on Princess Yuan Xi's face, he pretended to open his mouth lightly and tentatively.
Because he was also wondering in his heart at the moment, was the reason why Gao Heng accurately found Cheng Jinzhi's whereabouts really just a coincidence?
"If the imperial brother wants to tell me, he will naturally say, if he doesn't want to tell me, just like just now, I asked in vain. ”
Princess Yuanxi shrugged her shoulders slightly, put her hand on the wooden fence beside her, and lowered her eyes with a deliberate sigh.
"Xi'er, I've always told you that there are some things that you know as little as possible. Brother Huang only hopes that you can live happily with your beloved, and you don't have to interfere with the rest. ”
Seeing this, Yuan Peng also turned around and approached the curly, and gently closed his eyes towards the crumpled lake.
"But I can tell you that it was King Yan who personally led people to rescue Cheng Jinzhi from the prince's men. So in other words, it was He Himself who saved Himself. ”
"What?"
Hearing that Cheng Jinzhi had been rescued by Gao Heng and returned to the palace, Princess Yuanxi's breath was stagnant, and a look of loss flashed in her eyes.
Then he lowered his head, and said a sentence with emotion and a little self-deprecating tone.
He finally found Cheng Jinzhi. ”
"He found it, but I also found out that Cheng Jinzhi was almost set on fire and seriously injured, and I am afraid that even the child in his womb will be difficult to save. Although outsiders don't know who did it, you and I are like a mirror. ”
Yuan Peng said in a heavy tone, and he couldn't help but feel a faint pity and pity for Cheng Jinzhi in his heart.
But when Princess Yuanxi beside her heard it, it made her feel a little happy in her heart, but it didn't show it on her face.
Even if she didn't want to admit it, the fact was that she hated Cheng Jinzhi so much.
"This prince is so ruthless, I'm afraid that even if he lets him kill his own brother, he will be able to do it. ”
She pretended to be indignant and let out a sigh of indignation, raising her hand to grasp the trunk in front of her, she didn't want to stay here any longer.
At the same time, a thought that seemed to her that she had already experienced deep deliberation also rose in her heart.
The crown prince has always been the biggest threat to Gao Heng.
Even if Yuan Peng kept saying that it was for her own good, he stopped her from meddling in this old official case.
But now that she has disappeared when Gao Heng needs help the most, even if she is pretending, she must go to Cheng Jinzhi to show concern and accompany Gao Heng to share his worries and solve problems.
The only thing she can do is to keep doing what she has always wanted to do, but has been blocked.
is to personally enter the palace to explain to Emperor Zhou the beginning and end of the old case of official silver,
According to Princess Yuanxi's thoughts, as long as Emperor Zhou learned the truth of this matter, even if Yuan Peng didn't want her to intervene in this matter, he would definitely help her sister in the end.
"If you go back at this time, he only has Cheng Jinzhi in his eyes, why do you want to block yourself? Also, if you want to tell the crown prince to the Emperor of Zhou without telling me, not only yourself, but even our entire Great Chu, I'm afraid you will be affected.
Seeing that Yuan Peng directly guessed the idea in his heart, Princess Yuan Xi jumped and suddenly felt a stagnation in her heart.
The steps that were originally taken because of the return to the heart like an arrow were taken back very cautiously and with some concerns.
"This case was single-handedly committed by the crown prince of the Zhou State, what does it have to do with our Great Chu?"
"Because of that money, we did accept it, whether we knew it or not. ”
Yuan Peng turned his head sideways and looked at Princess Yuan Xi with a solemn expression, his eyes flashing with a meaningful light.
"Do you think that the Emperor of Zhou really wants to coexist peacefully with our Great Chu and marry Qin and Jin forever? Throughout the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, as long as it is a weak region or country, which one will not become their food in the end? He is polite to us on the surface, but in his heart he doesn't want to wait for a favorable opportunity and then uproot us? Although in your opinion, this is just a means for the crown prince to win over in order to make meritorious contributions. But in the eyes of the Emperor of Zhou, we are intending to conspire to be the crown prince of the dynasty, with ill intentions, and even rebellion. ”
He said solemnly, seeing that Princess Yuanxi's expression was moved, he obviously believed most of it.
Then he relaxed the muscles of his cheeks and muttered for a moment before continuing his earnest speech.
"That's why I don't want you to meddle in this matter. For other things, as long as King Yan is willing, I can try my best to help, but this one is too desperate to take risks, as the prince of Dachu, I must not gamble with the safety of my family and country. ”
"Brother Huang, it's me who blames you. ”
Princess Yuanxi lowered her eyes and sighed as if relieved.
The doubts that had accumulated in her heart just now had most of them dissipated at this moment.
"Actually, sometimes I think that compared to the eldest brother of the emperor, you are a person who cares about your family and country. ”
The "eldest brother" mentioned in Princess Yuanxi's mouth is the prince of Southern Chu who was personally crowned by the King of Chu and the future heir to the throne of Southern Chu.
And hearing his sister say such words in person, although Yuan Peng just smiled funny on the surface, his heart fluctuated, which made him subconsciously grasp the gan at hand.
"It's not important to have your family and country in mind, it's important for your father to like it. ”
Yuan Peng curled his back teasingly and took a deep breath, but a thick undercurrent surged under his eyes, mixed with a hint of hidden hatred.
"As long as you, this sister, believe in me and understand me, I will be satisfied. ”
After a moment, he turned his face and looked at Princess Yuanxi with satisfaction.
"Okay, I'll send someone to send you back, anyway, no matter how good my brother is, he can't compare to the husband of the newlywed Yan'er. ”
Yuan Peng said and relaxed his body, winked at Princess Yuan Xi with a wicked smile, and made the originally somewhat dignified atmosphere suddenly become much more relaxed.
Because he knew that even if the current Princess Yuanxi returned to the palace, she would no longer act impulsively like she did just now.
