Chapter 201: Behind the Scenes

Xiao Wanyao looked at the room full of the emperor's last things, and couldn't help but sink her face, and her eyes swept towards Guo Ping, who was drinking tea on the side, extremely unwilling, "His Royal Highness the Prince, the concubines have also contributed to this matter, why is there no matter of the concubines as soon as the case is over?" And from beginning to end of the story, it seems that there is no such thing as a concubine. Why? ”

Guo Ping sat on the chair in the main hall with a wicked smile, took a sip of tea, and then put down the teacup slowly, he knew that she was staring at him, and he knew that he was eager to get his answer, but he didn't, "cough...... Well...... this."

As soon as the words fell, Xiao Wanyao's sharp eyes were skimmed, and he said with a straight face, "It was the palace that told those people to shut up and not talk about your business, if you let the emperor and queen know what they would think about this matter, you have already frightened many ministers of the court, so don't frighten your father and queen mother." ”

Xiao Wanyao felt that this was too much of a loss, all the rewards were Guo Ping's, and she didn't get a single hair, "But the concubine and the prince had a gambling contract before, could it be that the prince didn't believe his words?" ”

She took a fancy to the things that were rewarded from the palace, and in addition to these things, there was a very important thing in this, which was also Xiao Wanyao's favorite, that is, land. The emperor last time the prince had a thousand acres of fertile land, and it was just a matter of less silver, she needed this land.

Guo Ping paused slightly, turned his eyes and remembered what happened before, but he didn't deny it, but he also looked light, "Well, it's true that this palace and the princess have a gambling contract, but the princess hasn't caught the real mastermind behind the scenes!" So this time, at most, the palace and the crown princess are tied. ”

Xiao Wanyao narrowed her eyes, knowing that he would not admit defeat so lightly, but it was okay, if she didn't admit it, she wouldn't admit it, "Since it's a draw, then the emperor's reward should be half of each person, right!" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wouldn't want to be alone, would he? ”

Guo Ping was just about to bow his head and drink tea, when he heard her words, he was stunned again, she was waiting for him here, to be honest, the things that the emperor rewarded, he didn't feel particularly liked, if there was, in fact, it was the good land that suited his heart, and the other things were just gold, silver, jewelry, cloth and satin, etc., and he had a lot.

It's just that she had never been interested in these things before, so he raised his head and looked at her curiously, "Does the crown princess want these rewards?" ”

He finally understood what she meant, and nodded vigorously.

Guo Ping smiled, it was rare for her to like it, and said casually, "If the crown princess likes it, just take it all." After speaking, he lowered his head and drank tea, but when he thought about it, he felt that it was not good, he had to hold the thousands of acres of fertile land in his hands, but when he looked up to find Xiao Wanyao again, he saw that her figure had disappeared at the door.

Only one sentence remained, "Thank you, Your Highness the Prince." ”

Guo Ping paused, glanced at the room full of rewards, almost everything was here. Said to herself, "The crown princess doesn't want these anymore?" ”

The maidservant on the side paused, didn't His Royal Highness the Crown Prince see it? stepped forward and said, "Back to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the Crown Princess took away something." ”

Guo Ping hadn't reacted yet, "What is it?" ”

The maidservant replied, "The title deed of a thousand acres of fertile land rewarded by the emperor." ”

"What?" Guo Ping stood up suddenly, because the movement was too fast, he overturned the teacup in his hand and sprinkled it, and the maidservant on the side hurriedly stepped forward to help him wipe it. Guo Ping shook the tea on his hand and frowned tightly.

After Xiao Wanyao left, she handed over the title deed to Zhu'er, "Keep it safe, maybe you will use it when you will use it." ”

Zhu'er took the title deed and looked at it, with a puzzled face, the house full of gold, silver and jewelry are priceless, why do you want a piece of land? Even if the land is sold, it is not worth much.

"Crown Princess, why do you want land? In fact, if you take some jewelry or something, you can buy more land by exchanging it for silver, not to mention a thousand acres? Pearls asked curiously.

Xiao Wanyao walked slowly along the corridor towards her Minghe Palace, and said with a smile, "Although those jewels are valuable, if they are directly exchanged for silver, they will definitely arouse the suspicion of others, we don't lack anything in the East Palace, why do we need silver?" And if you have money to buy land, what land does a princess want? Although it is his own money that is spent, it is different in the eyes of others. ”

Pearls nodded, "I see." ”

Xiao Wanyao continued, "But the good land rewarded by the emperor is different, this should have belonged to the East Palace, and the prince rewarded it to me, so it is naturally mine, and no one will doubt it." And what is available in the land, when necessary, the silver may not be able to buy it. ”

Although she didn't know Xiao Wanyao's ultimate purpose of wanting this land, after she said this, she felt that there was some truth, and Zhu'er helped her walk slowly. When he was about to Minghe Palace, he saw Han Qianqian walking out of it with his personal maidservant Ping'er, and turned around and walked towards his orchid house.

Xiao Wanyao stood in the distance and was slightly stunned, "Why did Concubine Shu go to Minghe Palace?" ”

Zhu'er also noticed Han Qianqian, and asked strangely, "On weekdays, the crown princess and the concubine are not very close, and the concubine has a strange temperament and is silent, so why did she come here today?" ”

Xiao Wanyao frowned slightly, seeing that Han Qianqian's pace was very fast, as if she was in a hurry, she took Zhu'er back to Minghe Palace quickly. As soon as I went back, there was a maidservant girl who came back and forth, "Back to the princess, the concubine came just now, saying that she was here to find the princess, and when she saw that the princess was not there, she left in a hurry." ”

Xiao Wanyao sat down on the chair, Zhu'er poured a cup of warm tea for her and put it away, she was even more strange, and asked the maidservant who was in return, "You just said that she looked in a hurry?" Did she say what was the matter with the palace? ”

The maid shook her head, "The concubine didn't say anything, and as soon as she heard that the princess was not here, she left." ”

Xiao Wanyao nodded, and Zhu'er sent the maid away, and said, "Do you want the slave maid to go to the concubine and ask to see what is going on?" ”

Xiao Wanyao thought for a moment, and finally nodded, "Then you can go and have a look, and bring some snacks by the way." After all, she is also the prince's concubine. She said thoughtfully.

Zhu'er nodded, brought a food box with a few small snacks in it, and went to Han Qianqian.

One of Han Qianqian's maidservants was sitting in the corridor doing needlework, and when she saw Zhu'er coming, she hurriedly got up and went into the house to return, and then Ping'er walked out of it and greeted her with a smile, "It turned out to be Miss Zhu'er, is there anything wrong with coming here?" ”

Zhu'er smiled every day, "Sister Ping'er, the crown princess asked me to bring some snacks over, I hope the concubine can like it." ”

Ping'er nodded and took Zhu'er into the house, "The concubine asked Zhu'er to come over and bring some snacks." "Zhu'er salutes," the slave and maid see the concubine. ”

Han Qianqian looked her up and down, and then asked Ping'er to take the food box, "Go back and thank the princess for me." Zhu'er Fu said, "The princess also asked the slave maid to ask, just now I heard the maid of Minghe Palace say that the concubine has passed, and the princess happens to be absent, I don't know what happened to the concubine?" ”

Han Qianqian paused slightly, glanced at Ping'er, she was taking out the snacks in the food box and putting them on the table, Han Qianqian picked up a piece of snacks and said slowly, "It's nothing, I just want to talk to my sister for a while." There's nothing to do all day in this East Palace, it's just boring. ”

She tasted the snack and put it down again, and Ping'er handed the food box back to Zhu'er.

Zhu'er Fu said, "If the concubine is okay, the slave will retire first." Han Qianqian nodded, "Ping'er will give Miss Zhu'er a look." ”

After Ping'er sent Zhu'er away, she came back and closed the door, came to Han Qianqian's side and asked, "Concubine Shu, do we still need to go to the crown princess?" Tell her about that? ”

Han Qianqian hesitated for a moment, her eyes were a little anxious, and she turned her head to look at the snacks on the plate, "She just helped the prince solve the case of the Cai family's murder, presumably this person is not so simple, maybe she already knew about that matter, if so, we don't need to expose ourselves again." Let's wait and see what happens. ”

Ping'er nodded, "The slave knows, and the slave will send our men to continue the search." ”

On this day, the weather was a little sultry, after the scorching sun dissipated in the afternoon, Xiao Wanyao walked out of Minghe Palace with Zhu'er, at this time Xiao Wanyao was more than five months pregnant, and most of the summer had passed, but the weather did not seem to mean to get cooler.

When she came to a gazebo on a high place, she looked in the direction of her hometown. There is the State of Wei, and there are the people she cares about the most. Zhu'er was almost ready, glanced at Xiao Wanyao, handed over the matter in her hand to the other maidservants and walked over.

Looking at the place where she was looking, she sighed slightly, "It's too windy here for the crown princess, so let's go to the pavilion and take a rest." ”

Xiao Wanyao came back to her senses, there was still a trace of sadness in her eyes that she hadn't had time to erase, and Zhu'er knew that she had always been sad, especially when she was silent. Although she would put on all sorts of flattering expressions in front of the prince, her expression was always sad when she was sure that no one was seeing her.

"It's fine, it's a little windy, but it's cool. I have been in Chu for so long, and I have never stood on such a high place to see it, and the scenery of the palace of Chu is not bad. She said lightly, her gaze swept downward, and suddenly froze.

Staring at a figure dressed in white in the corridor in another courtyard, he was led towards the prince's study by the people around the prince, Xiao Wanyao couldn't help frowning, the distance was too far, just a figure, and it disappeared from sight so quickly, it was difficult to judge that person was him.

Xiao Wanyao retracted her gaze thoughtfully, maybe she was wrong, but her back was somewhat similar, and then she sat down in the pavilion, and it didn't take long to see the concubine not far away with her maidservant also walking over to this side.

It wasn't until she reached the halfway point of the steps that Ping'er noticed that there was someone in the pavilion, and from a distance, she seemed to remind Han Qianqian. Only then did Han Qianqian stop and look at the gazebo, his gaze stayed for a moment, said something, and left with the people around him.

Xiao Wanyao originally thought that she would come up, but when she saw her turn to leave, she ordered Zhu'er to call her up.

Han Qianqian didn't want to meet with Xiao Wanyao, but Zhu'er had already come over to invite her, and she couldn't refute her princess's face, so she took her own people and turned back again.

Han Qianqian came to the pavilion and blessed Xiao Wanyao, "See the crown princess." ”

Xiao Wanyao personally got up and grabbed her and asked her to sit down with her, "Since it's all here, why come and go." ”

Han Qianqian lowered her eyebrows and said, "The concubine originally wanted to come here to enjoy the coolness, but seeing that the princess was there, she didn't want to disturb the princess, so she wanted to go back first." ”

Looking at her docile appearance, Xiao Wanyao smiled faintly, "Why go back, wouldn't it be better for you and my sister to chat here for a while, where did you come from?" ”

202

Han Qianqian knew that these were just polite words, so she just pursed her lips and smiled, and didn't say anything more. Ping'er put the snacks she brought on the table, "Princess, these are some snacks prepared by the slave maid, which are a little rougher, and I hope the princess will not dislike them." ”

Xiao Wanyao smiled, picked up a piece of dim sum brought by Ping'er and took a bite, "But you made it yourself?" ”

Ping'er nodded, "It was made by the slave maid herself." ”

"You have good cooking skills, but my chef there can't make such delicious dim sum." Xiao Wanyao said while eating.

Han Qianqian glanced at Ping'er, "If the crown princess likes it, the concubine will ask Ping'er to make some and send it over." ”

Xiao Wanyao nodded, there was a bit of a holiday between her and Huo Yongdie, so the relationship between the two has not been very good, but Han Qianqian is very low-key, not as arrogant as Huo Yongdie. So she didn't pay much attention to her, but she heard that Han Qianqian was a woman brought back by Guo Ping from outside, and her identity was unknown, which made her a little interested.

Guo Ping really likes to 'take by force'.

She put down her snack and met Han Qianqian's gaze and asked, "I don't know where Concubine Shu is from?" While asking, she looked at the concubine carefully, her posture was good, and her body was beautiful, but it could be seen from her hands that she was not from a high background.

Han Qianqian paused slightly, her affairs were known to the entire East Palace, she didn't believe that Xiao Wanyao would have heard of anything, so she asked, presumably on purpose, "When I came to the East Palace, it was several years ago, so the concubines forgot about the past." ”

Xiao Wanyao smiled unmindfully and grabbed her hand, "Since you're already here, don't think about the past, you and I are sisters, and we will have to take care of it more in the future." ”

Han Qianqian nodded, and the two chatted for a while, Xiao Wanyao naturally asked some questions from time to time to see her reaction. At sunset, Xiao Wanyao was a little tired and wanted to take someone back, and Han Qianqian also got up and asked the people around her to pack up their things.

Xiao Wanyao took the lead and went down the steps first, and suddenly thought of something, turned around and called Han Qianqian, but found that she was standing in the pavilion, looking back in the direction of Wei Guo, she couldn't see her eyes, and she didn't know what she was thinking, but she felt like she was looking at herself, such a deep and lonely figure, with indescribable sadness.

Xiao Wanyao's words dissipated from her lips, and she turned around and continued to walk down.

Back in Minghe Palace, she couldn't forget the way Han Qianqian looked in the direction of Wei, the prince had dinner in Minghe Palace in the evening, and during the meal, Xiao Wanyao asked, "The concubine heard some things that the prince's concubine was brought back from Wei, but is it true?" ”

Guo Ping was stunned for a moment, his brows furrowed, it seemed that he didn't like to talk about this issue very much, "How did the crown princess know about this?" ”

Xiao Wanyao smiled in her heart, she didn't know that Han Qianqian was from Wei, but she asked casually here, he didn't deny it, so it was just that, "It's just that I heard what others said casually, and the concubine was also curious." ”

Guo Ping was eating, not looking at Xiao Wanyao, nor answering her questions, but asked about other things, "How are you getting along with her?" ”

Xiao Wanyao knew that he didn't want to say, so she didn't ask, and smiled, "Although there are few contacts on weekdays, the concubine thinks that she is a gentle and virtuous woman, no wonder the prince loves her so much." ”

Guo Ping smiled, raised his eyes and looked at Xiao Wanyao, with an indescribable deep meaning in his smile, "Do you think she is gentle and virtuous?" ”

She nodded curiously, wondering if she had misused the word? At least she is a gentle and virtuous concubine.

Seeing her puzzled look, Guo Ping shook his head, "That princess is the wrong person." ”

Xiao Wanyao paused, chuckled, and didn't ask more about her own food. In this way, her guess was right, Han Qianqian was deliberately suppressing her edge, but in fact, she was the same as herself, and she was different from what she was looking for.

Because of Xiao Wanyao's pregnancy, she had an excellent excuse to refuse the prince to spend the night here, so after dinner, she asked Zhu'er to pack the prince's things and let him go to someone else's.

Guo Ping originally planned to live in Minghe Palace, but during the meal, Xiao Wanyao talked about Han Qianqian, but she hadn't been to her for a long time, and she couldn't help but feel a little worried in her heart, so she didn't shirk and took her own people to Orchid House.

Early the next morning, Xiao Wanyao got up early, Zhu'er made the dishes she liked to eat, and when she was about to eat, a maid from Minghe Palace came in from outside, "The slave and the maid see the princess, this is a prince who asked the slave to hand over to the princess." ”

Xiao Wanyao just picked up the chopsticks, and when she said this, she frowned slightly, "A son? Who is it? ”

Pearls took the envelope from the handmaiden's hand and handed it to her.

The maidservant replied, "The slave and maid have asked, but the prince said that as long as the princess reads this letter, she will naturally know who he is." ”

Xiao Wanyao paused slightly, and hadn't opened the envelope yet, "Is he still outside?" "Back to the crown princess, he has already left, it seems that he went to the prince."

Zhu'er asked the maid to go down, Xiao Wanyao thought for a while, could it be the prince's guest? But why did you send a letter to yourself? She slowly opened the envelope, a piece of paper, and there was only one sentence on it, "Does the crown princess remember the 100,000 taels of silver she owes?" ”

Xiao Wanyao was stunned, Zhu'er didn't know what was going on, and stepped forward to ask, "What happened to the crown princess?" After a moment of silence, she burst out laughing, "Zhu'er, here's the account." ”

Zhu'er was stunned for a moment, and before she could ask, Xiao Wanyao had already gotten up, "Zhu'er, let's go to the prince." With a hint of weirdness on her face, Jewel accompanied her to the prince's place.

Sure enough, he saw a young man with a good demeanor, handsome and luxuriously dressed, and even the prince standing beside him was not as dazzling as the jewels on his body.

Guo Ping was slightly stunned when he saw Xiao Wanyao coming, "Wanyao, why are you here?" He naturally didn't know the past between Shangguan Yunfan and Xiao Wanyao.

She was blessed, "The concubine just wants to come and see the prince, if the prince has something, the concubine can avoid it first." Saying that, she turned around to leave, but out of the corner of her eye, she glanced at Shangguan Yunfan on the side.

Guo Ping didn't stop her, because he did have something to discuss with Shangguan Yunfan.

However, he didn't expect Shangguan Yunfan to take the initiative to speak, "Ah~" He exclaimed, and the attention of several people was all attracted by him, especially Xiao Wanyao couldn't help frowning.

Shangguan Yunfan stepped forward and stared straight at Xiao Wanyao, "You...... You are ......"

Xiao Wanyao narrowed her eyes slightly, not knowing what Shangguan Yunfan had in mind. Guo Ping was naturally surprised that he would know his crown princess, and Zhu'er looked at the two of them with confusion.

If it were someone else, staring at the crown princess like this would have been condemned a long time ago, Shangguan Yunfan seemed to have been thinking hard for a long time before suddenly exclaiming, "Xiao Wanyao!" Is it really you? ”

Guo Ping also frowned, it was taboo to call the crown princess by name in front of him.

Shangguan Yunfan looked frightened again, took a few steps back, and hurriedly saluted, "I still hope that the crown prince and princess will forgive me, but the grass people just forgot their identity for a while." ”

Guo Ping looked at Shangguan Yunfan and then at Xiao Wanyao, "You know?" ”

Xiao Wanyao didn't know what medicine was sold in Shangguan Yunfan's gourd, why they had to recognize each other here, so she didn't open her mouth and looked at Shangguan Yunfan directly.

He really prepared a story, and said to Guo Parallel, "Caomin did know the crown princess, but it was more than a year ago, and he was still in Wei at that time. ”

Guo Ping became interested for a while, glanced at Xiao Wanyao with a touch of doubt, and turned back to his seat, "Really?" Since that's the case, tell me about it, how did you meet? Don't go, princess, don't you know who he is? ”

Xiao Wanyao was stunned, turned around and sat down on the side seat, and when she passed by Shangguan Yunfan's side, she glared at him fiercely, "The concubine looked at him a little familiar, but she didn't recognize who he was for a while, and the concubine didn't remember it well more than a year ago." ”

After Guo Ping and Xiao Wanyao took their seats, Shangguan Yunfan was still standing there, and Guo Ping was staring at him curiously, wanting to continue listening to his later story.

Shangguan Yunfan observed Xiao Wanyao from the corner of her eye, her eyes were staring at him coldly, with a hint of warning.

He continued, "Caomin has a younger brother, Shangguan Yunqing, who has an incurable disease, and it was the crown princess who came to the rescue at that time, otherwise he would definitely not be alive now." ”

Guo Ping prepared a lot of curiosity and wanted to dig into Xiao Wanyao's past, but he heard him tell all the stories in such a simple sentence.

Xiao Wanyao smiled faintly on the side, which was a sigh of relief, "It turned out to be a patient who had been treated by this palace, no wonder I didn't remember you, this palace saved a lot of people, but not everyone remembers." She also made an excuse for herself.

She thought that this matter would pass like this, but she didn't expect Shangguan Yunfan to turn her head to look at Xiao Wanyao, as if she had caught a prey that wanted to escape, "If you say something below, presumably the crown princess must remember who is below." ”

She came to the prince on purpose, indeed to see Shangguan Yunfan, but she didn't expect him to recognize herself directly in front of the prince. Xiao Wanyao stared at him straightly, "Yes, why don't you hear what is going on?" ”

Shangguan Yunfan smiled slightly, "At that time, Caomin was doing a business with Xue Tianao, the general of the Wei State, wasn't the crown princess with him?" ”

As soon as the words fell, Xiao Wanyao almost stood up from the seat in shock, her face changed, and she glared at Shangguan Yunfan angrily, he said this on purpose, when she met him, Xue Tianao was not in Hezhou at all.

Guo Ping was also stunned in her heart, and her eyes couldn't help but shift from Shangguan Yunfan's body to Xiao Wanyao, she hurriedly restrained the panic on her face, and lowered her head slightly to avoid his eyes, but he still caught a trace of panic on her face. And the smile she brought after made Guo Ping even more suspicious.

When Guo Ping sent an envoy to Wei to negotiate peace, Xiao Wanyao was in the palace and was almost made a concubine by Tang Siqi, and he also heard from elsewhere that she once had a good relationship with Xue Tianao. After all, one is the daughter of the left prime minister, and the other is the son of the right prime minister, and it is normal to know each other.

But from Mingjun, he heard that Xue Tianao did not hesitate to intercept Ren Hong's carriage for Xiao Wanyao's sake and killed his personal guard Ren Hong, which made him feel that between her and Xue Tianao, it must not be as simple as knowing each other.

originally thought that this matter would be sealed in the dust, because she is now her own crown princess, right in front of her, with her own child in her belly, she will definitely belong to herself. However, when Shangguan Yunfan mentioned Xue Tianao in front of her, the suspicion in her heart was dug out again.

Especially when she saw Xiao Wanyao's deliberately dodging eyes, the thick vinegar behind that suspicion flooded.

203

Seeing that Xiao Wanyao didn't speak, Guo Ping asked, "Crown Princess, can't you remember who he is?" ”

Xiao Wanyao proved it for a moment, thought for a while, and said, "Isn't it Shangguan Yunfan, the profiteer who only sold half of the grain and grass to Xue Tianao and sold the other half of the grain and grass to the Chu army at a high price?" ”

Although Xiao Wanyao added a profiteer in front of Shangguan Yunfan's name, he still smiled smugly, and was busy saluting, "The crown princess finally remembered, it was the grass people." ”

Xiao Wanyao couldn't help but squint his eyes slightly, it seemed that he had long expected that he would come here, so he set such a trap, wasn't it just for 100,000 taels of silver, and it wasn't that he wouldn't give it to him, so why threaten him so much. She was suddenly angry in her belly, thinking about how to teach him a lesson.

But she knew that the thing she should worry about the most at the moment was Guo Ping, since she came to Chu State, she tried her best not to talk about things in Wei State, especially things related to Xue Tianao, but someone came here to engrave this person's name in Guo Ping's mind, and said it as if something had really happened.

Guo Ping stood up, he didn't want to give face to the crown princess in front of outsiders, "It turns out that I really know each other, and this palace thought that there would be some interesting stories, which seemed to disappoint this palace a little." ”

Xiao Wanyao got up and blessed Guo Ping, "If there is no matter of the concubine, the concubine will retire first." He nodded, and then watched Xiao Wanyao leave, his eyes became cold by the way. Naturally, I am not in the mood to discuss anything today.

Shangguan Yunfan naturally observed the words and expressions, and also expected such a situation, so he stepped forward and asked, "His Royal Highness the Prince, is that ...... with the matter below?"

Guo Ping waved his hand, "Let's put it aside for the time being, if there is something to find you in this palace, I will naturally send someone over." ”

Shangguan Yunfan nodded and said, "During this period of time, I will always be in the territory of Chu State, and if the prince changes his mind, he can come to Zai Xia at any time." In the next retirement. Then he turned and left.

Guo Ping did want to do business with Shangguan Yunfan when he came into contact with him in the past few days, and found that Shangguan Yunfan was quite cunning, of course, businessmen are generally like this, in Wuzhou before, the grain and grass of Chu State was taken away by Xue Tianao, and it was Shangguan Yunfan who came forward in time to resolve their grain and grass crisis.

Of course, this profiteer also earned a hundred thousand taels of silver from them. This person is a person who only recognizes money and does not recognize people, and it is not bad for such a person to use it for business.

It's just that he didn't expect him to talk about Xue Tianao in front of Xiao Wanyao, and he always felt that something was wrong.

After Xiao Wanyao left, she was so angry that she couldn't wait to find Shangguan Yunfan now and ask him why. It's just that she still has to be patient, she strode forward, walking faster and faster, Zhu'er followed behind, almost trotting, and finally seeing that the situation was not good, she stepped forward to stop her.

"Don't go like this, the princess will affect the child in her belly if she goes any further." Seeing that she was also a little panting, Zhu'er helped her to sit down on the side of the corridor, looking at her angry face and frowning, Zhu'er knew that what she had just said touched her heart.

She hesitated for a moment and said, "Crown Princess, do you really know that Shangguan Gongzi like that?" ”

Xiao Wanyao pursed her lips tightly, her eyes narrowed slightly, staring straight ahead, her eyes were full of anger, her hands were clenched, it seemed that this time she was really angry.

Seeing this, Zhu'er hurriedly dissuaded, "The crown princess is dissipated, you are so careful that you have moved the fetal gas." ”

Xiao Wanyao gritted her teeth, "Shangguan Yunfan did it on purpose, he deliberately pulled Tianao in." This time it's for me. ”

Zhu'er asked suspiciously, "Did the crown princess have any holidays with this Shangguan prince before?" ”

She paused slightly, remembering that the previous thing was only a matter of 100,000 taels of silver, and the others were not fatal, why did he need to do this? And no matter how she said that she also saved his younger brother, this is also a favor, Shangguan Yunfan she knows, although he is greedy for money and has no discipline, but he is not such a person, and he is just here to mention Xue Tianao's matter?

It's a little too strange, but after thinking about it, Xiao Wanyao feels that something must be wrong.

Turning to Zhu'er, he said, "Zhu'er, last time you told Zhentian and Zhenling to let them come here, when will they arrive?" ”

Zhu'er replied, "In a few days, something will happen in the Wei Kingdom, so they will come later." ”

Xiao Wanyao shifted her gaze again, looked into the distance, and her mood calmed down, she was only angry just now, and she didn't think about it well, but after thinking about it, she felt more and more that something was wrong, and then instructed Zhu'er, "You go and send someone to find out where Shangguan Yunfan lives, I want to meet him in person." ”

In order not to make people suspicious, Zhu'er went out in a carriage with the princess's waist card on the grounds of going out to run errands, Xiao Wanyao dressed up as a maidservant, holding the note written to her by Shangguan Yunfan in her hand, and came to the place she had agreed before.

This is a mansion, not a teahouse or something like that Xiao Wanyao thought, standing at the door, Xiao Wanyao glanced at the words on the door - "Washington", and then lowered her head and walked into the house.

The house is very large, and the carved beams and pillars are magnificent, and it seems that it is not just an ordinary large family.

As soon as Xiao Wanyao walked in, Shangguan Yunfan greeted her, "You are so punctual!" ”

Her eyes suddenly sank, "It seems that this time you didn't come here to do business with the crown prince, but for me." Say, what's going on? ”

When Zhu'er found out where Shangguan Yunfan lived, she was also caught by Shangguan Yunfan, and asked her to bring a message back, saying that she wanted to meet Xiao Wanyao outside the palace when and where she wanted to meet.

After Zhu'er told Xiao Wanyao about this, she realized that Shangguan Yunfan was coming for her.

Shangguan Yunfan's face was solemn, and he glanced at the person on the side, who turned around and went out, "Go to the house and say, there are indeed some things to tell you personally." ”

Xiao Wanyao looked at Shangguan Yunfan's appearance, as if something big had happened, so she followed him into the house, "Is there anything you can't say in the East Palace?" Why do you want to be here? ”

Shangguan Yunfan sat down with a stern expression, "There are many eyes and ears in the palace, and I am worried that if I say it there, it will be known." So let you out of the palace once, you ...... You okay? ”

Xiao Wanyao knew that he was asking about her body, she glanced down at her stomach, shook her head and said, "It's okay, let's talk, what is so important?" I still want you to go to such great lengths to come to me to come out, and even if you want me to come out, why do you mention Tianao in front of the prince? DO YOU KNOW ......"

Before she finished her words, Shangguan Yunfan burst out of his mouth, "This matter is related to Xue Tianao." ”

Xiao Wanyao was stunned, and after reacting, she hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with Tianao?" ”

Shangguan Yunfan frowned, he didn't want to wade into the troubled waters this time, it was only because of Xiao Wanyao that he came here and saw her, "Xue Tianao is missing, he was arrested, Gong Qing is sending people to find his whereabouts, Zhentian and Zhenling also know about this matter, they seem to have found some clues, so they tracked it all the way, met me by chance, and knew that I was coming to Chu State, so I asked me to tell you about this." ”

Xiao Wanyao opened her mouth in shock, trembling slightly, and felt a little dizzy, Zhu'er hurriedly stepped forward when she saw this, "Princess, are you okay?" ”

She shook her head, looked up at Shangguan Yunfan, and asked anxiously, "When did this happen?" Why didn't Megatron and Quake report to me? ”

Shangguan Yunfan said, "It's been more than a month ago, Zhenling and Zhentian have conveyed the news to you, but I don't know why you don't seem to have received it." There must be something wrong with this, and Earthquake and Soul are also investigating. ”

Xiao Wanyao clenched her fists tightly, her brain was blank, she wanted to calm down and think about it, but she didn't know why, her brain was like being filled with paste, and she couldn't think of anything.

Zhu'er saw that her complexion was wrong, and she was worried that something would happen to her, and they had been out for too long, so in order to avoid suspicion, Zhu'er said goodbye to Shangguan Yunfan and left with Xiao Wanyao.

It wasn't until she returned to the East Palace and changed into the clothes of the crown princess that she suddenly came back to her senses and grabbed the hand of Zhu'er, who was pouring tea for her, "Zhu'er, I have a bad premonition. ”

Zhu'er grabbed her hand, it was hot outside, but her hand was cold, "Crown Princess, don't think too much, we don't know what happened until now, Shangguan Gongzi just brought a message for Zhenling and them, and everything will be known after Zhentian and Zhenling come here." ”

Xiao Wanyao shook her head and said, "Our contact with the Wei State has been cut off, something must have happened here." No wonder there has been no news from Wei Guo for so long, and I feel ......" She couldn't help but grab a pair on her chest, and didn't even dare to think about it, "Tianao married Gong Qing, Yan Guo will not threaten him, and Mingyu will not attack him." The only possibility is that Tang Siqi still has ...... There is also the state of Chu. ”

"Is the crown princess saying that it is likely that someone from the Chu State captured General Xue?"

Zhu'er and Cui'er were originally the people next to Xue Tianao, and if something happened to him at the moment, he was naturally anxious.

Xiao Wanyao shook her head, "I'm not sure about this, but I always have a very bad premonition in my heart." If not, who will arrest Tianao? ”

Zhu'er tried her best to comfort her, "Crown Princess, don't be too anxious, don't be angry, we just got such news, and we can't be sure that General Xue has an accident." It's better to wait for Earthquake and Earthquake Spirit to come, and then make plans. ”

At this time, there is no other way, and now I can only wait and see what happens, but Xiao Wanyao's heart can't let go.

When Guo Ping had dinner with her in the evening, he noticed that something was wrong with her, "Wan Yao, do you have something on your mind?" ”

Xiao Wanyao paused for a moment and smiled reluctantly, "Where did the concubine come from?" ”

He grabbed her hand and asked with concern, "But I don't think you seem to have any appetite, since Shangguan Yunfan came last time, you seem to have always had something on your mind, can't you say anything to this palace?" ”

Xiao Wanyao looked at him, trying her best to hide the worry in her heart, "The concubine is really fine, maybe it's because she hasn't had any appetite recently." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince don't worry. After saying that, he withdrew his hand from his hand and bowed his head to eat.

Despite not having much appetite, he was forced to eat. Guo Ping was inexplicably a little annoyed, with a hint of anger, "If the crown princess really doesn't want to eat it, don't eat it, why force yourself." After saying that, he suddenly put down his chopsticks, which startled her. R1154
