Chapter 346: Dare to Bet
"Zhong Qiuying, in fact, you are a very smart woman, but it's a pity that you fell in love with the wrong person, which led you to this point. That man didn't take you to heart at all, he is the pride of the sky, and you are just the daughter of an ordinary family, if it weren't for your aunt who was favored by the emperor by chance, I am afraid that you are still living a life facing the loess with your back to the sky. Even if your life has improved and you have lived a high life because of your aunt, your essence has not changed, and you will still look vulgar compared to the real daughter. Especially you, unlike your sister, who is favored by your aunt, who follows her and has her own teaching. You grew up with your snobbish dad and weren't well taken care of at all, so you learned to be observant and flattering. This may be very comfortable for the emperor, because he faces too many troubles every day, and it will make him feel very happy to return to the harem and hear your special flattery. But for the person you love, your words and looks, flattering and selling are all vulgar and worthless, and it is impossible for him to fall in love with you at all. Zhong Qiuying, think about it, he really started to approach you and say that he liked you, did it start when you were chosen by your aunt to let you enter the palace?" Yun Wanqing said.
Zhong Qiuying knew that what Yun Wanqing said was right, but she just didn't want to accept this fact. She gave everything for that person, she can accept anything, but she can't accept that this man doesn't love her, and he has always just used her.
"You lie, he loves me, don't try to drive a wedge between us. I know your purpose is to blow up this person behind me, and I will tell you if you don't think so. Zhong Qiuying's state was a little crazy, looking at Yun Wanqing as if she was looking at the enemy.
Yun Wanqing didn't mind at all, and then said, "Zhong Qiuying, you have a long heart, I'm helping you." I said it, even if you don't say it, I've already guessed who that man is. It's the fifth prince, right? His territory happens to be in the place where you live, and you are also a well-known figure there because of the relationship between Concubine Zhong, according to your father's thoughts, he will definitely take you to the five princes and try to get close, so that you can continue to live a comfortable life. Although the character of the fifth prince is not very good in my opinion, his appearance is still very good, plus he is a prince, how many women are eager for him, of course he knows how to capture a woman's heart. Your appearance is gorgeous, for a depressed prince who has just left the capital, your delivery to the door is just enough to relieve his boredom. His kindness to you is just to tease you, but I'm afraid he didn't expect that his aunt, who has ignored you for so many years, would let you enter the palace to serve the emperor. He realizes that his opportunity has come, and he may be able to use you to achieve his goals. Therefore, he is more gentle and considerate to you, so that you are dead set on him and help him do things with your heart. Am I right?"
Zhong Qiuying didn't know what to do to react, because Yun Wanqing really guessed everything, and it can be said that she didn't guess wrong at all. What's the point of her concealment, her defense line has been completely breached. Very consciously, he continued to say Yun Wanqing's words.
"You're right, my sweetheart is indeed the Fifth Prince. I am different from my sister, she is smart and well-behaved, she looks very similar to my aunt when she was young, and she is very liked by my aunt, so I took her with me early. But what about me, no matter how beautiful I look, in my father's eyes, I am still a money-loser, and in his eyes, I am just a tool for his interests. Therefore, since I was a child, I thought in my heart that I must find someone with a prominent status to marry, let my father see, I am no worse than my sister. At the beginning, my father took me to meet the five princes, and at a glance, I knew that this was the most suitable person in my heart. So I was very flattering to him, and I showed all my tenderness and thoughtfulness to him, just to make him fall in love with me. He is also very nice to me and is willing to accompany me in everything every day. I thought I had succeeded, but at this time, my aunt actually wrote to let me enter the palace, she said that she had arranged everything, and as long as I entered the palace, I could become the emperor's concubine. But I don't want to, I'm already in love with the five princes in my heart, I don't want to go into the palace to live with someone I don't love for a lifetime, and I have to compete with others for favor and death. This was not the life I wanted, so I ran to beg the fifth prince, hoping that he would take me away, but he refused. He explained a lot to me, saying that if we leave like this, we will be wanted by the emperor for the rest of our lives, and our future children will never be able to raise their heads. He persuaded me to enter the palace, pretended to be in love with the emperor, and helped him step by step to help the emperor's courtiers. I didn't want to, but I couldn't stand his pleas, so I had no choice but to agree. After that, I obeyed his wishes and entered the palace, and the first thing I did was to separate the relationship between the emperor and the Prime Minister's Mansion, especially with you. Because the five princes know that the reason why the emperor can ascend the throne is all because of you, as long as you are dead to the emperor and no longer help him, it will be much easier for us to bring down the emperor. I know that you are very good to Yun Kening, if she is wronged because of Situ Hanyu, you will definitely not turn a blind eye, and at that time, we can find a way to destroy your relationship. But I didn't expect that I had done so much, and you were indifferent, seeing that your sister was wronged, and you didn't act. But later, I designed the emperor to have the idea of marrying you into the palace, I know that you love the six princes, and you will not be willing to enter the palace, in this way, you will fall out with the emperor. But I didn't expect that after you left the capital, Situ Hanyu would recover his mind so quickly, return to Yun Kening's side, and take Yun Kening to you. I know that I can't wait any longer, I must get rid of the Prime Minister's Mansion as soon as possible, completely anger you, and destroy your relationship with Situ Hanyu. However, there were too many masters in the Prime Minister's Mansion, so the Prime Minister's wife and several sons ran away, and only the Prime Minister was caught. Originally, according to my intentions, I wanted to kill the prime minister immediately, but the fifth prince stopped me and asked me to hang him on the castle tower, saying that he wanted to lure the others out. Who knows, the others didn't come, but they brought you back and made you like this. Zhong Qiuying kept her head down when she spoke, and she didn't know what her expression was, but Yun Wanqing knew that what she said was the truth and didn't lie.
Yun Wanqing looked at Zhong Qiuying and said, "You have done so much, have you never suspected that he is using you at all?
Zhong Qiuying smiled and said, "I used to doubt it, but in the end, it was his love that prevailed, I thought, as long as I help him do this, it doesn't matter if he really doesn't love me, as long as I can stay by his side." ”
Yun Wanqing shook her head and said, "You are so stupid, you actually gave your life for someone who doesn't have you in his heart at all." Zhong Qiuying, I don't think I need to say, you should also know that what he wants most now is to see you die, right?"
Zhong Qiuying didn't agree with Yun Wanqing's words, and said excitedly, "It's impossible, although he may not really love me that much, but I have done so much for him, he must still care about me." At the very least, he definitely doesn't want me to die, don't try to mislead me. ”
Yun Wanqing didn't mind her glaring at herself viciously, and said slowly, "Yes, since you don't believe it, why don't we make a bet? If I lose, I'll let you go and don't make any trouble with you anymore." If you lose, you have to help me testify against the five princes in public. ”
Zhong Qiuying naturally wouldn't admit defeat, she believed that the fifth prince would not want her to die, nodded and said, "Okay, how do you bet." ”
Yun Wanqing smiled and said softly, "It's very simple, I'll take you out of here later, and arrange you in the Six Princes' Mansion." I will tell everyone that you have promised to tell me who is behind the scenes, and that your request is to spare your life and give you a stable and worry-free life. I think that the Fifth Prince will definitely believe it, after all, I wanted to kill you so much, but I still took you back to the Sixth Prince's Mansion, which shows that you must be useful to me. If he doesn't care about you at all, and naturally wants to protect himself, then he will definitely let people kill you personally. If he really has you in his heart, he will naturally believe that you will not betray him, and he will not do anything. Of course, don't worry, I will definitely keep you safe before you testify against the five princes. How's it going?
Zhong Qiuying thought for a while and said, "Okay, I'll bet." I'm sure he wouldn't want me to die anyway, let alone personally order me to be killed. ”
Yun Wanqing smiled and nodded, and the two reached a consensus. Yun Wanqing asked Zhong Qiuying to take her back to the Six Princes' Mansion, but she and Yun Kening stayed in the prison and did not leave.
