Chapter 998: Compromise?

Mama Zheng's heart sank, it seems that this matter is not just so simple. Behind the cold incense, there are also others instigating.

"What's that aunt's name?" asked Mama Zheng.

Wen Mulan thought for a while and said, "I heard Princess Hanxiang call her Yuegui. ”

Laurel, the name sounds familiar.

Suddenly, like a bolt of lightning crossed Mama Zheng's mind. She thought about it, isn't Yuegui the henchman next to Princess Zhaoyang?

Could it be that there is the handwriting of Princess Zhaoyang in this?

Mama Zheng shivered fiercely, it was a royal secret, she still didn't speculate.

She asked in a trembling voice, "Have you told the second son about this?"

Wen Mulan thought that she was just suffering from the cold, so she reached out to help her and quickened the pace of her feet. said: "The second son let me not miss a word, I have written it in detail." ”

Mama Zheng put her mind at ease, the flaws in this are so obvious, she can hear it, and she doesn't believe that Wu Zhengxiang didn't find it.

"This matter, Mulan, you remember to rot it in my stomach, and don't say it to anyone again, so as not to cause trouble. "Let the masters solve the affairs of the masters themselves, and the more important thing for the slaves is to do their duty as slaves.

Mama Zheng grabbed Wen Mulan's hand tightly, and it hurt her a little.

Wen Mulan hurriedly responded and said, "Don't worry, Mama, I won't say anything to anyone, not to Fengqi." "Although Mama Zheng has always been serious, she has never been as nervous as she was tonight.

Mama Zheng slowly let go of her hand, and the two continued to move forward.

Mama Zheng didn't expect it badly, Wu Zhengxiang became interested in the mysterious aunt beside Han Xiang.

A few days ago, he took Hanxiang around every day, and she was served by two maidservants brought from the Khitan, and there was absolutely no aunt.

This aunt, since she came with Hanxiang, lives in a simple place. Slaves are not like slaves, elders are not like elders, and their identities are a mystery.

The stakes were so high that Wu Zhengxiang decided to take a look for himself. He had a gut feeling that this woman was probably an acquaintance.

His skills can come and go freely in the capital, not to mention the one-third of an acre of land in his own house.

Taking advantage of the dark night, he sneaked to the courtyard where Hanxiang lived, and first arrived at Hanxiang's main house. Hearing the sound of breathing coming from inside, he climbed through the half-open window and saw Laurel sleeping on the floor beside the bed.

Sure enough, it's an acquaintance.

In a flash of light, Wu Zhengxiang understood her identity and strung the whole thing together.

Princess Zhaoyang and Crown Prince, should I thank you for thinking so highly of me?!

He felt his anger churn uncontrollably, swept over Laurel's cheeks once more, and disappeared into the night.

Early the next morning, Xu Wanzhen woke up from her sleep.

There was still warmth on the bed beside him, and it was obvious that Wu Zhengxiang had just gotten up.

Bai Yao fetched water and came in to serve her to freshen up, Wu Zhengxiang came back from sword practice, nodded at her with a smile, and went straight to the clean room.

His expression was the same, but the corners of his lips were tightly pursed, revealing the unhappiness in his heart.

Xu Wan was really silent, after all, in front of everyone, her memory had not yet recovered.

After Zhiyan took people to set up breakfast, Wu Zhengxiang waved back everyone, and Xu Wanzhen asked, "What's wrong?"

Wu Zhengxiang said in a low voice: "I took a look, and Han Xiang was followed by Yuegui. ”

"Laurel?" Xu Wanzhen exclaimed in a low voice.

When the Xu family had just arrived in Beijing, there were no clues about the case at all, and the first thing she asked to see was Princess Zhaoyang. Therefore, she is very familiar with several henchmen around her.

didn't wait for Wu Zhengxiang to say more, she already understood.

It turned out that Hanxiang was ordered by Princess Zhaoyang, no wonder the prince trusted her so much and let her calculate Wu Zhengxiang.

Wu Zhengxiang's voice was a little bitter, and he said, "This time, I dragged you down again." ”

He fought his way through all obstacles, and the position he reached has become the source of prying eyes from all sides. Although he expected it, he didn't expect it to drag Xu Wanzhen down.

The time she was abducted and went to the Northland, it was because Jiang Chen needed his cooperation. And this time, the crown prince wants to tie him up with Princess Hanxiang. The crown prince doesn't trust him so much, how should the monarch and his ministers get along after he ascends the throne as emperor?

Wu Zhengxiang can be loyal to Emperor Qinglong, and he will not hesitate to shed blood and sweat, because of Emperor Qinglong's absolute trust in him.

And in the face of a suspicious emperor, he is not sure if he can still serve.

"Wanzhen, what should I do?"

Seeing him in pain, Xu Wanzhen's heart was like a knife.

She gently held his hand and said softly: "The whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister." Yizhi, it's better for you to marry Hanxiang as a flat wife. ”

"No!"

Wu Zhengxiang suddenly let go of her hand, reflexively jumped back, and even tripped over the chair to the ground.

When the maids outside heard the movement, they looked at each other and didn't know what was happening.

Bai Yao raised his voice and asked, "Young lady, but what did you drop?"

"It's okay, don't come in. ”

Inside the house, Wu Zhengxiang gasped and looked at Xu Wanzhen and said, "How can you say such a thing." ”

Xu Wanzhen said with difficulty: "I, why do I want to do it again?" It's just a calculation from the emperor, how can you hide as a courtier?

This matter is now very clear.

The crown prince did not trust Wu Zhengxiang, perhaps because he was jealous of his ability, or perhaps because he was the one left behind by Emperor Qinglong. Whatever the reason, there is always mistrust.

However, Princess Zhaoyang recognized Wu Zhengxiang's talent and ability. After all, he was loyal to Emperor Qinglong, and he did everything in every major matter he handled properly, looking at the whole Gaomang, there was no more suitable commander of the cavalry guards than him.

Therefore, there was the appearance of Shulu Hanxiang, and the prince asked Wu Zhengxiang to accompany Princess Hanxiang to play.

Speaking of which, the prince did this thing so naturally. If Wu Zhengxiang doesn't go with the flow, the result can be imagined.

Marrying Shulu Hanxiang can dispel the prince's suspicions. If you refuse, you will be held grudge by the future emperor.

It would be fine if he was just a mediocre person, but it was a pity that he was highly skilled and had outstanding abilities. Even if he doesn't have two hearts, for the emperor, such a person will naturally be at ease when he is dead.

These words could not be spoken, but the hearts of both of them were like mirrors.

Looking at each other in the air, Xu Wan was really helpless and infatuated, which made Wu Zhengxiang's anger fade little by little.

He sat down again, took the hot tea and drank it down.

But how could hot tea extinguish the anger in his heart? His eyes gradually became colder, colder and colder, and the gloom gradually rose. Looking at the thin blue and white teacup in his hand, he didn't see how hard he worked, and he pinched a few pieces with a "snap".

The porcelain shard pierced his skin, and red blood beads suddenly emerged from his right hand and slowly dripped onto the table.

After all, he is a man who will become a dark lord, and the darkness in his heart rises again after being calculated like this by the prince.
