Chapter 39: Conspiracy
Wanxi went straight to the house, as she expected, it was Marquis Wen Yuhou in the room, and Chen Zhuo, who had just returned from the military department, Wanxi hid in the dark, listened with her ear close to the window, and only heard Marquis Wen Yu ask: "The emperor didn't order to send troops today?" ”
Chen Zhuo replied: "Well, but I have already begun to arrange the transfer of troops when I return to the military department today, and the war preparation grain and grass are also being prepared, and it can be arranged in about three days, but the people and horses are all transferred from all over the country, if you rush to the capital and send troops to Fengming Pass, how can the large army arrive in half a month, and the emperor is still reluctant to give an order to send troops, I am afraid that the king of Chenjun will not be able to support it for long." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”
Marquis Wen Yu sighed and said: "I think that if it wasn't for the emperor's indecision, your uncle would not have died on the battlefield, but now I only hope that the king of Chenjun will be in heaven." ”
"Father. Don't worry, this situation is still under his control, and if he writes me to send troops, I will send reinforcements anyway. ”
Wanxi thought to herself, it turned out that this Marquis Wenyu and Chen Zhuo seemed to be in the heart of King Chenjun, if there was secret support from the military department, his situation would not be too difficult, thinking of this, he heard Chen Zhuo say: "Prince Heng has been changing frequently recently, and today he came to me again to pull a relationship, but the third prince is doing his duty, although he is now in charge of the six departments, but I don't see who he deliberately befriended." ”
Wen Yuhou smiled and said: "Your sister who is not worry-free has to marry the fifth prince, sooner or later she will regret the day, she has to go her own way, I can't control her, but you have to remember that this country, sooner or later, it is that person, it's not early, you are busy these days, go back and rest." ”
Wanxi heard that Wen Yuhou asked Chen Zhuo to come out, and quickly lifted her body into the room, and when she saw Chen Zhuo walking away, she breathed a sigh of relief, thinking to herself, this Wen Yuhou is a transparent person, but the country he said is that person, who is it, the third prince? didn't come up with any clues, so he left the Wenyu Marquis Mansion lightly.
On the way back, Wanxi couldn't help but feel a lot lighter, and said in her heart, with the ability of King Chenjun, if Chen Zhuo's secret help was there, nothing big should happen. At this moment, I saw two figures in the distance, looking familiar, Wanxi quietly followed closer, it was Shen Fangning and Prince Heng, Wanxi said in her heart: "How can they be together so late?" ”
He quietly approached and hid in the dark, only to see them standing in the alley at the back door of the Shen Mansion, Shen Fangning said: "Today, Prince Heng's words should be remembered, and I hope that Prince Heng will not break his promise one day." Prince Heng smiled and said, "Miss Shen, don't worry. Shen Fangning entered the back door without looking back, and after Prince Heng stood for a while, the corners of his mouth unconsciously smiled coldly, and then left, and followed the alley directly, seeing Prince Heng stepping on the carriage and galloping away.
Wanxi was uneasy, what kind of conspiracy did the two of them have, it seemed that Yunmo had to check this Shen Fangning, this eldest lady didn't seem to be as simple as it seemed.
Wanxi thought about it after returning home, almost sleepless all night, the next morning, after breakfast, she ordered Zipei to go to Muyunlou to check on the Miss Shen, Wanxi always felt that she was a little strange, originally thought that she was a weak and weak daughter, but she could play some common methods in the backyard, but I didn't expect that she actually got together with Prince Heng, and obviously reached some kind of deal, why did she always feel uneasy?
Just thinking about it, someone from the house came to report that there was a Miss Chen visiting, Wanxi was thinking about which Miss Chen in her heart, so she smiled and ordered: "Zijin, you go and pick it up in person." "This Miss Chen came at the right time.
Then Zijin led Chen Jiao'e to Wanxi's courtyard, Wanxi was standing under the porch in single clothes and looking at her with a smile, Chen Jiao'e said in her heart No wonder she can charm King Chenjun, there is no need to say beauty, this bearing on her body is not seen in any young lady, standing next to King Chenjun is the most suitable. Wanxi saw that she was stunned when she looked at herself, and couldn't help but smile and said, "Miss Chen, the humble house is shabby, Miss Wronged, please come to the house." ”
Although Chen Jiao'e realized that she had been rude just now, she didn't care, and said hello rashly, so she walked quickly to Wanxi's side and followed her into the house.
Miss Chen took off her cloak to the maid, and sat down by the brazier, Wanxi poured her a cup of hot tea for her, and then asked, "Why does Miss Chen have time to sit with me today?" ”
Chen Jiao'e took a sip of tea and replied: "It's nothing, it's just that I'm bored at home, and I don't have any friends in the capital, so I think of you." ”
He smiled and said, "It's an honor." ”
Chen Jiao'e pursed her lips and said, "You are really similar to King Chenjun." ”
"Oh? How so? ”
"People can't figure out what you think, and they always feel like they've been caught in the net and calculated by you." Although Chen Jiao'e was lonely, she was not angry, and her bright eyes blinked at Wanxi.
Wanxi pretended to be puzzled and said, "Is there anyone in this world who can calculate Miss Chen?" ”
Chen Jiao'e rolled her eyes and said: "That's why I said that I won't be enemies with the two of you, I calculated that people do it directly, and then pretend to be innocent, and you two are trying to make others do it, and then say that you are innocent." ”
Wanxi smiled and said, "You have discovered this, low-key." "I thought that this young lady of the Marquis of Wenyu Mansion really got his father's inheritance, and her mind was very transparent, but I don't know why such a smart and beautiful person would marry Prince Heng? Can't you see that he's not a good son-in-law? Chen Jiao'e glared at her and said, "I'm not stupid, the events of the Hundred Flowers Banquet and Tenghua Temple were not all arranged by you?" ”
Wanxi said: "The matter of Tenghua Temple is indeed arranged by me, but isn't it still your Miss Chen's choice to do it or not, but on the day of the Hundred Flowers Banquet, didn't Miss Chen do it because of Prince Heng, what does it have to do with us?" ”
"I really did it because I couldn't see Prince Heng being so good to Luo Shuyao, but Prince Heng suddenly got close to Luo Shuyao not because of a sentence from King Chenjun, and later I heard that he was trying to avenge you for pushing you into the water that day when Luo Shuyao pushed you into the water." Jiao'e Chen explained.
After listening to it, Wanxi realized that King Chenjun would do such a thing for himself when he didn't see him, even if it was something he shouldn't interfere in revenge, he would do it for himself, and he couldn't help but be moved, and he missed him even more.
Chen Jiao'e looked at Wanxi in a daze, and said happily: "What, do you miss your county king?" ”
Wanxi's face was flushed by what she said, and she couldn't help asking, "Then let me ask you, why do you have to marry Prince Heng?" ”
Chen Jiao'e's eyes darkened, and she said: "On the day you died, he came to you to withdraw from the marriage, and then you knew that he was not a good son-in-law, right?" Without waiting for Wanxi to answer, she smiled bitterly: "It's just that you met him late, and he wasn't like that." As if remembering something, Chen Jiao'e sighed, fell into deep thought, and Wanxi didn't bother her, poured her another cup of tea, and looked at her quietly.
It didn't take long for Chen Jiao'e to say: "I remember that I was only seven or eight years old at that time, and my uncle was still alive, but I remember that he was very good to our family, although my aunt was a princess, she didn't have any shelf, and she loved me and my brother very much. ”
