Chapter 195: Gossip
Cheng Jing was speechless and stepped aside. The guards behind him didn't dare to stop me, so I let me go to the prison.
"Really?" Yuan Jue grabbed the iron fence with both hands, and the green tendons on his hands were very obvious.
I walked into the prison, Yuan Jue didn't notice it, all his thoughts were in front of him, and Yun Chu was locked in the cage. Yun Chu shrunk into a ball and hid in the corner of the wall farther away from him, covering his ears with his hands, "No, no...... No. ”
Won Hyuk saw me first, and he was not surprised or surprised.
"Your Highness." I called Yuan He out loud, this is the first time I have called His Highness in front of him in private, "Since you handed over this case to me to investigate, why did you interfere repeatedly, I thought that before this case was fully investigated, you privately concluded that Yun Chu was guilty, is it too much." ”
"Niyin girl......" Won Hyuk's face turned blue the moment he heard me call him His Highness, "You should know that the truth of this case has actually been revealed." ”
"Your Highness has entrusted this matter to me with full authority to investigate, and I thought that I should find out whether this case was closed or not, and report it back to you." I'm only angry that Yuan He actually told Yuan Jue about this at this time, how should he accept it at this time.
"That's not what I meant," Wonhyuk hurriedly explained, "This matter is very important, I just feel the need to let the second brother know." ”
He was right.
I walked past him and stopped beside Yuan Jue. "Don't worry, with me, everything will be solved."
Yuan Jue was a little late to understand my words and turned his head sideways.
I took his wrist and walked in front of Yuan He, "The triumphant return of the second prince is supposed to be a great joy for the Yu Kingdom, but His Royal Highness may be a little rude to leave King Quxiong alone in the palace now." If His Highness has no other instructions, I will be entrusted by the second son's subordinates to come to find him. Why don't we go back to the feast and talk about it? ”
I couldn't bear to look at Yun Chu, "No matter what, before the matter is clarified, no matter what kind of identity she is, she shouldn't be treated like this again." ”
"Someone." Yuan Hyuk didn't answer me directly, but called the guards, "Release Yun Chu." ”
"Your Highness......" The guard thought he had misheard.
Yuan Hyuk looked straight at us, "Send Yun Chu back to Mrs. Qimo for house arrest, and no one is allowed to see her without Miss Niyin's orders." He added a sonorous word, "Including me." ”
Only then did the guards confirm Wonhyuk's words and waited aside.
Wonhyuk turned around and went out of the prison.
The guards looked at us, called a few people, opened the cell door, went inside, untied Yun Chu's chains, and said that he was going to escort her out. Yun Chu struggled a few times and shouted, "Where are you taking me...... Where are you going to take me......"
Yun Chu was dragged out by the guards.
"Stop." Yuan Jue made a sound, causing them to stop.
He walked in through the cell door, Yun Chu lowered his head and could only see his feet, and when she noticed that Yuan Jue was approaching, she covered her ears and held her head to avoid Yuan Jue's sight.
Yuan Jue squatted down and reached out to support her carefully, "Let's go, what's the matter, I'll talk about it when I go back." ”
"Don't, don't...... I don't go......" Yun Chu avoided and blocked left, saying that he didn't want to face Yuan Jue.
Yuan Jue's face was expressionless, and he couldn't see the slightest emotion, making it impossible to guess whether he was angry or sad now, and his reaction was unexpectedly flat.
"Let them come." I pulled Yuan Jue away and said to the guards, "You have lighter hands and feet, and if you hurt her, you will not pay for your life." ”
When the guards saw me pull Yuan Jue away, they came to Yun Chu's side again to pull her.
"Yun Chu," I pushed Yuan Jue out of the prison before turning to her and saying to her, "Do you remember what Mrs. Qimo said?" ”
Yun Chu trembled violently, she raised her head to look at me, then looked at Yuan Jue, and quickly avoided his gaze. After thinking for a while, Yun Chu stopped struggling, and the guards of the prison easily pulled Yun Chu up from the ground and took him out of the prison.
They walked in front, and I saw that Yuan Jue was not moving, so I walked over and pushed him, and walked out with him.
"Second son." Cheng Jing is still outside the prison.
Yuan Jue only watched the guards in front escort Yun Chu away, as if he didn't hear what Cheng Jing said. Yuan Jue turned back to me and said, "Let's go." ”
I followed him away and looked at Cheng Jing, who was still standing motionless.
I asked Yuan Jue, "Did you just return to Mucheng today?" ”
Yuan Jue hesitated, and he paused for a while before answering me, "Yes, what's wrong?" ”
"It's fine." I say.
My heart was cold.
When I returned to the side hall, Yuan Hyuk had already sat back in the highest seat in the center, Xiong Lie followed Yuan He's gaze and watched Yuan Jue and me walk in, wandering left and right, Xiong Lie seemed to understand what was going on, and he smiled and didn't forget to joke. "This Wang Gang is still thinking, why did the second son sneak out for so long and not come back, it turned out that he went to see Miss Niyin."
I lowered my head and was silent, and Yuan Jue raised his glass to drink with Xiong Lie.
"King Quxiong, the palace people have prepared the palace, since you have arrived in my Yu country, you might as well stay for a few more days and feel the customs and customs of my Yu country." Yuan Hyuk said with a smile after listening to the return that the palace people attached to his ears. "How about being accompanied by the second brother in the past few days?"
Seeing that the wine glass that Yuan Jue was holding stopped at his lips, his eyes changed suddenly.
The boiling atmosphere in the hall suddenly stopped.
Xiong Lie looked at Yuan Jue, and finally locked his eyes on Yuan He.
What's going on? I couldn t react all of a sudden, why did the atmosphere suddenly become so embarrassing, I just heard Yuan He just say that Yuan Jue was just going to accompany Xiong Lie, why......
"Shizi's words, do you want to take back the military power in the hands of the second son......" I heard someone around me whispering, but soon, the person who spoke was stopped by the person next to him.
Yuan Jue returned from the victory this time, and Yuan He put down a celebration banquet to wash the dust for them, but he didn't expect it to be at the banquet, Yuan He proposed to let Yuan Jue accompany Xiong Lie to feel the customs of Yu in the next few days...... Does it mean that on the surface, it seems to be letting Yuan Jue rest, but in fact, it is leaving him with nothing to do......
"It's fine." Yuan Jue said, breaking the speculation of everyone in the banquet. "Since the prince said so, the younger brother is just happy to be idle."
I turned my head curiously and looked at him.
Is he really okay? Yuan He did this, preserved his best interests, and relieved Yuan Jue of his military power without fighting, which was really unfair to a second son who had just won the battle and returned triumphantly. They were brothers, and I remember trying to persuade them to reconcile, but I didn't expect that when I saw their brothers together again ten years later, it would be even worse than before.
Is royal power, military strength, really that important? Is it more important than blood kinship?
"Great." Yuan Jue said, with a slight smile, "It's rare to be idle, these **** will take you out for a walk." ”
"Hmm." I nodded.
Although Yuan Jue said it easily, at that moment, I saw the helplessness in his eyes. Now sitting on the throne of the son of the world, instead of their sick father, he handles the affairs of the entire Yu country, his orders are as sacred and unquestionable as the king, and this person is not someone else, but Yuan Jue's half-brother.
Previously, he sent Yuan Jue to lead the troops to the battle, fought viciously, and was trapped in the cold city for nine lives. Because there is no evidence to show whether Yuan Hyuk has anything to do with the delay in reinforcements, not to mention whether Lord Meng's delay in reinforcements is Yuan He's intention. But when Yuan Jue endured the humiliation and returned triumphantly after recovering the cold city, Yuan He wanted to take back the military power in Yuan Jue's hands, which was too unfair to Yuan Jue.
And now, what forced Yuan Jue to agree was because the lives of Mrs. Qimo and Yun Chu were still in Yuan He's hands, and Yuan Jue could only endure it.
This celebration banquet, each with their own hearts, unconsciously dispersed in a false congratulation.
"Xiong Lie." Yuan Jue stopped Xiong Lie, Xiong Lie stopped, and Yuan Jue said, "I'll send you." ”
"Then ......" Xiong Lie's eyes fell on me behind Yuan Jue, he meant to ask Yuan Jue, what would I do if Yuan Jue sent him to the palace.
"Neon Girl."
Before Yuan Jue could speak, the father-in-law beside Yuan He chased him out of the side hall, and he chased after him with small steps, waving his hand and shouting. Stopped in front of us, panting for a while, before adjusting his breath, glanced at Yuan Jue and Xiong Lie, he bowed down to greet him, "To the second son, King Quxiong has saluted." ”
"Anything else?" Yuan Jue's face was very intimidating, and his father-in-law was so frightened that he didn't even dare to raise his head.
"Your Highness...... His Royal Highness asked the servant to ask when Miss Niyin could report the matter of Nan Gonggong to His Royal Highness. ”
Yuan Hyuk actually asked someone to urge me to report Master Nan's affairs to him? It stands to reason that Cheng Jing should have sued him for these things yesterday? But now he asks me again, don't you believe Cheng Jing?
If Cheng Jing gave Yuan Hyuk what I took out of Master Nan, there would be nothing more convincing than this.
I looked at Yuan Jue with a stomach full of questions, I really couldn't understand what this meant, if Yuan Jue had anything to do with Cheng Jing...... I thought to myself, Yuan Jue had already replied to the father-in-law before me, "It's too late today, please tell the prince and talk about it tomorrow." ”
Yuan Jue's words seemed to inadvertently confirm the guess in my heart, and I was disappointed. Yuan Jue said to me unconsciously, "Let's go." ”
I looked at my father-in-law and said, "Then let's do it first, and trouble my father-in-law to go back and tell the son, and when I have found out everything, I will tell him the whole truth." Until then, please wait patiently and stop unprovoked right and wrong. ”
The father-in-law was taken aback.
I turned and walked ahead of the crowd.
It's just that what I don't know is that Xiong Lie has already seen the moment I just lost in my eyes, and when he saw Yuan Jue looking at him, Xiong Lie put on a fine appearance and left with Yuan Jue.
My heart hurts, and this time, it really hurts.
When we arrived at the palace gate, Hou Yue had already been waiting there with Yuan Jue's horse, and when he saw us coming, he waved his hand happily and let us see him.
"Niyin girl," standing in front of Hou Yue, before he had a chance to speak, a father-in-law who appeared out of nowhere came over with a carriage. stopped in front of us, and saluted Yuan Jue again, "Second son, King Quxiong." ”
"Isn't it His Royal Highness the Prince again?" Xiong Lie joked with a smile.
His gaze shifted from Xiong Lie to his father-in-law, I really haven't seen this father-in-law, is it also by Wonhyuk's side? Looking at Mian Sheng, who was much calmer than the one just now, I asked him, "What's the matter?" ”
"Niyin girl, the high priest knows that you may have to leave the palace later, so he ordered the servants to prepare a car and wait here." He said.
Phoenix?
"What?" Hou Yue was unhappy, just now he was waiting here by himself, but now there is one more person coming out, "My sister is going to be with the second son." ”
The father-in-law didn't speak, nor did he refute, just led the station there.
"It's okay, I'll take the car, you can do it yourself." I turned around and said a word to Yuan Jue, and then got into the carriage.
Yuan Jue didn't seem to care much, and Xiong Lie turned over on the horse, and the two of them walked in front of the carriage, and the carriage shook and began to staggering behind it.
"Sister, what's wrong with you." Hou Yue drove the horse to the carriage and asked in a low voice.
I wanted to be quiet before I got into the carriage, but I didn't have time to think about it, and I was interrupted by Hou Yue unexpectedly. I looked at him helplessly, but I didn't even have the strength to blame him. "What's wrong?"
"Sister, you don't ride with the second son, but you want to take the carriage, are you having trouble with the second son?" Hou Yue is very concerned and cares about our every move.
"Maybe they have something to say, and I'm inconvenient." I motioned for him to look at Yuan Jue and Xiong Lie who were parallel in front of him and said.
Hou Yue just glanced up and didn't care, "My sister is used to riding in a carriage, so she can't get used to riding a horse." ”
No matter how much I think about it, I can still hear the meaning of Hou Yue's words. "Why, is there any gossip about me?"
"Sister, do you know, many people are saying that you live in the palace and are very close to the prince. even said that you are greedy for vanity and want to give up your second son to be the side wife of the son...... I have been speaking for my sister, I believe that you will not change your mind lightly, but today, it seems that you are cold and indifferent to the second son, and even I have to believe it. Hou Yue said indignantly, it was not worth it for Yuan Jue.
"Yes." I smiled wryly, but I couldn't argue, "Does he think so too?" ”
When I asked, he naturally meant Yuan Jue.
Hou Yue glanced forward and said, "Although the second son pretended not to care, how could he not care, sister, do you know, the second son came back to see you in a hurry." ”
Hurry up and hurry...... I laughed......
He hurried and hurried, not to come back to see me......
"Will become human, not ...... me" (To be continued.) )
