Chapter Twenty-Four: Ice Whispers Releases Suspicions
"Crown Princess Niangniang, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that he is busy with affairs, please go back first!"
β¦β¦
For two days in a row, when Wang Zhengjun walked into the palace of the crown prince Liu Zheng, he heard this sentence. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ info Therefore, Wang Zhengjun can be sure that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really angry, and he really believes these rumors. So, is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really going to ignore her again?
The boredom in Wang Zhengjun's heart floated out layer by layer like duckweed, and layer upon layer. She and Lingjuan walked slowly in this night, as if they were relaxing, but they were actually listening to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince on the other side of the strait stroking the piano in the pavilion.
At night, there is a cool breeze. Between the pavilions and pavilions, a neon color.
Under the pavilion, the turquoise water waves were lit up in the clear and poignant sound of the crown prince Liu Zheng. His gentle and gentle face was a little indifferent.
The strings snapped, and the beautiful notes dissipated cleanly. The frowning brows of the crown prince Liu Zheng were even more obvious. He slowly touched the broken strings, his palms began to feel cold, and Sima Liangdi's words naturally appeared in his depressed heart.
"Rui'er, why did you leave so early? Why do you want to leave me alone? Prince Liu Zheng's aching heart suddenly tightened, and he was very uncomfortable.
All this, Wang Zhengjun, who was standing near the rockery, really saw it in his eyes. She picked up her cloak and quietly walked into the pavilion. The crown prince Liu Zheng looked at it, but turned his face sideways and didn't look at her.
"Your Highness, it's too cold outside, let's go back to the house!" Wang Zhengjun put a cloak on the body of the crown prince Liu Zheng.
"What are you doing here?" The crown prince Liu Zheng sat coldly, his eyes indifferent and cold.
"Your Highness, do you really want to trust concubines?" Wang Zhengjun raised his sad eyes and looked at Liu Zheng softly. Liu Zheng's gaze was hard, and he looked straight to the side, and only in his afterglow could Wang Zhengjun's thin figure sway in front of him.
Time paused for a while in an indifferent atmosphere, and after a long time, Wang Zhengjun spoke: "The concubine knows that His Highness is angry, but the concubine still has to tell His Highness that the concubine has never deceived you, and the concubine's intentions for His Highness have always been true. Therefore, the concubine just wants to be by His Royal Highness's side silently, and for others, there is really nothing else to ask for, let alone have the heart to seek power! β
At this time, the crown prince Liu Zheng turned his face to look at Wang Zhengjun, and said lightly: "Okay, after the words are finished, you can go back and rest!" I want to be alone for a while! β
After Wang Zhengjun heard this, her heart felt as uncomfortable as if she had been pricked by a needle, she lowered her eyes, turned around and ordered Lingjuan to put the boiled hot soup on the table, and said softly: "Your Highness, this ginseng soup was made by the concubine herself." If you don't have dinner, drink some hot soup, it will warm up! β
The crown prince Liu Zheng never thought that Wang Zhengjun would know that he had not eaten dinner, so his heart vibrated slightly, and he felt a little tingling. But how could he forgive a scheming woman?
In the end, the crown prince Liu Zheng still chose to be silent, and the world was as quiet as a silent night.
"The concubine will retire first!" Wang Zhengjun glanced at the crown prince Liu Zheng lonely before turning to leave, and the sadness accumulated in his eyes began to seep out little by little.
The white heat coming out of the soup bowl floated in front of the eyes of the crown prince Liu Zheng, as clear as a white mist. He squinted his eyes, looked lightly, and then looked at the back of Wang Zhengjun leaving. His broad hand began to pick up the spoon unconsciously. When the hot soup slid into his throat, there was a warm taste, and the pain and sadness in his chest began to fade slowly, and his sad face became calm unconsciously.
After a while, a whole bowl of soup was drunk by Liu Zheng so naturally.
Behind the dwarf and dense trees, Yunluo's long-hidden figure has become clear.
"I didn't expect His Highness to drink it all! It seems that my Xia Yunluo's opportunity is here again! Yun Luo stood up, a strong smile crossing her lips. Although, that night, she succeeded in getting His Highness to favor her. However, the effect of the medicine did not seem to be very good, and after a night, His Highness was very cold to her. Therefore, tonight, when Wang Zhengjun was boiling soup for His Royal Highness the Prince, she deliberately put two more pills. Come to think of it, this is foolproof!
She smiled and quietly walked in front of the crown prince Liu Zheng, and the bewitching figure began to dance. The long sleeves are floating, and the posture is lively and slender, just like Sima Liangdi before his death. In the agility, the bright smile was like a blooming flower, released brilliantly in front of the crown prince Liu Zheng.
"Rui'er!" Liu Zheng stood up, and the excitement flashing in his eyes appeared little by little. He walked in front of Yun Luo, and Sima Liangdi's shadow became clearer.
"Rui'er, you're finally here!" The crown prince Liu Zheng looked at Yun Luo's eyes and began to become misty and gentle, he picked Yun Luo up by the waist and walked forward with a smile.
On the pavilion not far from here, Wang Zhengjun clearly saw all this. From the moment she turned to leave, she didn't go far. She chose to stay in her current position, just because she could still see some vague figures of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in this position, and she could also know whether His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was good or bad?
However, now...... There was no need for her to look any further.
"The crown princess!" Ling Juan looked at Wang Zhengjun with some concern, "It's getting late, the slave and maid help you to rest!" β
Wang Zhengjun didn't speak, just turned around and left, his steps slowly moving forward, but his figure was as stiff as if frozen.
In the afternoon of the next day, Wang Zhengjun sat in the pavilion drinking tea and admiring the flowers. A cool breeze swept into Wang Zhengjun's sleeve, which made her sober up a lot. She lifted her eyes, and everything in front of her suddenly became clearer. And I don't know when it began, the Prince's East Palace has spread into an endless emptiness in her heart, making her feel familiar and unfamiliar.
"Zhengjun, so you're here!" Yun Luo walked over lightly, with an excited face.
Yun Luo's sudden arrival really made Wang Zhengjun's cold heart shake a trace of surprise. However, Wang Zhengjun just glanced at Yun Luo calmly, and then turned his face sideways to look to the side. Yesterday's scene faintly appeared in her heart. Wang Zhengjun's heart was in turmoil at this time, she didn't even know what she was angry about? Could it be that she herself is jealous?
"Zhengjun, I have something to say to you, can you let them ...... first?" Yun Luo looked at Wang Zhengjun, meaning that she wanted Ling Juan and the other palace ladies to retreat first.
Wang Zhengjun knew what Yunluo meant, so he waved his hand and ordered them to go down. After Ling Juan and Gong E, who was waiting, left, he said to Yun Luo: "Okay, what do you want to say, you can say it now!" β
"Ruler, can you stop being angry with me? Can you listen to me? Yun Luo's eyes were begging, and the delicate delicate that was faintly revealed couldn't help but cause pity.
After Wang Zhengjun heard this, he only said lightly: "I'm not angry, and you don't need to explain anything!" β
"Zhengjun, I know, you're just angry!" Yun Luo approached and sat down, her face softened, and a trace of guilt flashed in her eyes, "You are sad, and I understand it." So, Masa-kun, if you have any troubles, just say it! If you hold it in your heart like this and don't say anything, you will suffocate your body! I'm sad to watch! β
"What do you want me to say to you?" Wang Zhengjun's voice was hard and cold.
"Zhengjun, you once told me that if you have it, you will let me have it. But now, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince pampered me, and you put on such a look? Yun Luo's eyes flashed with a glimmer of guilt, and her face showed a little sadness, "Isn't it true that we can't go back to the past?" β
"You want to go back to the way things were?" Wang Zhengjun's gaze flickered lightly, and he continued softly, "Then you tell me, are you still the same you used to be?" Is the Yunluo I know still the Yunluo I know? Why would you hurt Yazhu in order to win the favor of His Highness? I have always regarded you as the best sister, and I hope you are doing well, so, what I can give you, I will definitely give you. But why do you have to do that? β
"Zhengjun, you know very well the purpose of my entry into the palace, and you also know that I have no choice. At that time, I couldn't see His Highness at all, and I only had a chance to meet with Your Highness. If I don't do this, how can you get out, and why will you leave only me and Your Highness? I had no choice but to do so. But, no matter what you think, I can tell you clearly, you are the best sister in my life, and I will never hurt you. Yun Luo said very emotionally, every word was true.
Yun Luo chose to come to the Prince's East Palace because there was Wang Zhengjun here, and there was someone she could rely on. It has been more than two years since he came to the palace, and the cruelty in the palace has already made his naΓ―ve self recognize the facts. Just like Yan Xi said, if you don't have a long-standing backer, you can't be as lucky as Wang Zhengjun, so you can only climb up little by little on your own. What's more, she still has younger siblings to take care of at home, and she has to get ahead. All this is what she has to do. So, what's wrong with her?
"Won't hurt me?" Wang Zhengjun smiled bitterly, "If you do this, is it called not hurting me?" β
"Zhengjun, even if the person who appeared next to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not me, there will be other people?" Yun Luo's voice was still calm, "This is the fate of the women in the palace, isn't it?" So, you can understand why other people just can't accept me like this? β
Yun Luo's true and frank words made Zhengjun suddenly think of the smile of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Yun Luo together last night. It was a joy she had never seen since she entered the Prince's East Palace. Therefore, Wang Zhengjun's heart began to stir.
"Good!" Wang Zhengjun turned around and looked firm, "I'm just going to ask you one question now, do you really like Your Highness?" β
"Yes!" Yun Luo nodded firmly. But a voice sounded in my heart, "I'm sorry, Zhengjun, I lied to you!" It was by taking medicine that His Highness favored me. I don't know if I like or dislike His Highness, but I do know that only then can I get the status and power I want. β
After Wang Zhengjun heard this, he said lightly: "Okay, since that's the case, I'm relieved!" But you must also promise me that you will not hurt anyone again, not even slaves! β
"I see! Don't worry, I won't do it again! Yun Luo knew that Wang Zhengjun was still angry about Yazhu's matter, so he replied quite quickly and directly, and smiled very happily and gently. After that, he also held Wang Zhengjun's hand and said with a smile, "Then Zhengjun, let's stop fighting in the future, okay?" β
"Yes." Wang Zhengjun nodded lightly. I heard Yun Luo say, "Great, Zhengjun! Now that you are the crown princess, I will soon be a beauty, and in the future, we will take care of each other, and no one will dare to bully us. β
And these words were only vaguely blurred into a fluttering voice in Wang Zhengjun's ears. Shallow floating, shallow scattering.
β¦β¦
"That's the fate of the women in the palace, isn't it? So, you can understand why other people just can't accept me like this? β
Wang Zhengjun took this question and thought about it late at night.
The moonlight shone through the window, the light and shadow shone dappled and swayed, and the crown princess's bedroom began to fall into a deep calm. Inside the big red curtain, Wang Zhengjun tossed and turned, unable to sleep. Yun Luo's words were like a sudden thunderstorm on a spring night, ringing in her heart over and over again.
