King Tan raised his eyebrows slightly and was silent.

Empress Taishang blocked his trespass into Longxi Pavilion that night, and even few people in the palace knew exactly what happened to Qiwen, and it was impossible for anyone outside the palace to get the slightest bit of news. The eldest princess is such a good person, if she really hasn't seen Qiwen and doesn't know anything about this matter, she will naturally only think that Qiwen is still in the palace to accompany her second brother. I heard him say that he came here to find Qiwen, and he couldn't wait to inquire endlessly?

With such an attitude, she was already telling him: That's right, Qiwen is here with me, but she doesn't want to see you, and I don't want her to see you, do you dare to order a search of the mansion?

Of course he didn't dare. It didn't have any benefit to turn his face with Zhuojin, and it alarmed the two aunts and aunts who were in the neighborhood, and it was even more troublesome. Not to mention, it is not appropriate to make too much publicity about coming to Qiwen.

But of course, he can't give up, and if he wants to get Qiwen back, he can only let her come out willingly, or let the eldest princess hand her over.

King Tan paused the lid of the cup in his hand and snorted lightly: "Why do you all think that I robbed the second brother, from childhood to adulthood, it seems that some things that should have been his were obtained by me, but they were all voluntarily given to me by others, and I didn't rob them, so he couldn't get it and shouldn't blame me." Why do you all think of me as a wicked person? ”

The tone was quite lonely, and it was even more touching to be said by his deep and beautiful voice.

The eldest princess had only seen him smug when she was born, and she couldn't help but be stunned when she saw this, and her momentum suddenly became shorter: "What do you mean by 'we', why do I regard the third brother as a villain?" In the past, I favored the second brother to target you, it was just a joke. Who told you to always tease me with a foul mouth? I treat you and my second brother in my heart, obviously they are the same. ”

King Tan laughed bitterly at himself: "You treat me the same as him?" Okay, I believe this, after all, we are close relatives, but it's a pity that Qiwen ...... She wasn't. It's no wonder she, as you say, who made me have a bad reputation for myself early? Now no matter how much she wants to remedy it, it's too late, and she won't believe anything I say. ”

He turned his gaze to the side, as if absent-mindedly, "If you think about it, I haven't done much to be sorry for her, that time she made her sick, I was angry that she was disobedient to me, and I couldn't get angry for a while...... But long before that, she had apparently condemned me as a wicked person, which shows that it was my mouth that created the sin. ”

The eldest princess looked puzzled: "What do you mean?" Is it possible that you want to say that you are ...... to her Is it sincere? ”

King Tan smiled even more bitterly: "You see, even you don't believe it, and she can't believe it anymore." Actually, I don't even believe it myself. ”

He shook his head and sighed, indescribably lonely and melancholy, "I can be regarded as reading countless women, and I have always been arrogant, knowing that she belongs to the second brother, how can I be willing to be emotionally interested in a woman who doesn't look down on me?" How is this possible! It's a pity that how can the affairs of men and women be commented on in black and white?

"Earlier, I just wanted to make that bet with you, and I wanted to give it a try, but it turned out that the more I fought for it, the more she had to fall to the situation of the second brother, and the more unwilling I became, and the more persistent I became. At that time, I thought that I was just unwilling to lose to my second brother. It wasn't until this time, when I finally saw that she took the initiative to leave her second brother to join me and saw hope, that I suddenly realized that I was afraid that I was no longer unwilling. ”

The rare beautiful son in the world told his true feelings, and his lost soul was very pitiful. Even her sister, the eldest princess, was speechless, how many girls could not be moved?

The eldest princess couldn't help but glance at the four screens of Shark Silk Yarn on the side. King Tan had expected it, and with her light glance, he pretended not to know. It is certainly best if this performance can be seen by her own eyes.

He raised his eyes again, and looked straight at the eldest princess with clear pool-like eyes: "The details of this incident, presumably she didn't tell you in detail, right?" ”

The eldest princess shook her head dumbly, she also wanted to know the specific reason, but Qiwen was far more lost than the third brother, and she was in a hurry like a leaf falling in the wind, and she couldn't bear to ask if she wanted to. I wanted to wait for Qiwen to calm down before asking, but the third brother came too quickly and didn't allow her to have this opportunity.

King Tan sighed: "This matter is complicated, and I can't say it to you directly." In short, the second brother did something sorry for her and broke her heart, she borrowed my hand to go out of the palace gate, and escaped while I was unprepared. She really regarded me as a wicked person, and I don't blame her, it's true that I didn't take her seriously before, even the first two days ......."

He frowned slightly, shook his head and smiled bitterly, as if he regretted it to the extreme, regret to the extreme, which made people feel almost heartbroken, "I thought that since she broke with her second brother, she had a full chance of winning, and she got carried away for a while...... I should have thought that she had murderous intentions against me, how could she accept me so easily? I hate myself for being confused! ”

The eldest princess's eyes flashed with tears, and her lips trembled and she couldn't speak.

King Tan straightened his face, leaned over slightly, and said earnestly: "Zhuo Jin, are you and I looking for her for myself?" She came to you, but did she tell you that she didn't want to see me, but wanted to wait for the second brother to come? As soon as she revealed the slightest hint of this, I immediately retreated and never pestered again. ”

The eldest princess said incoherently: "She...... It's not ......" Qiwen clearly said that she didn't want to have anything to do with her two brothers, but she didn't show which one she preferred.

"That's right." King Tan smiled slightly, "I am convinced that she doesn't want to have anything to do with the second brother anymore, so I have the confidence to come to her again." The second brother broke her heart, and I am willing to do my best to compensate her for the second brother. I just have full confidence that I can treat her better than my second brother. I can't give her the status of wife, but isn't the second brother the same as not being able to make her a queen? She followed me, and I would at least promise her a carefree future. Think about it, I can find it here, won't the second brother? She is the second brother who escaped with me, do you think she is even more reluctant to be entangled by anyone! I can't order the search of the house, but if the second brother gives this order, what can you do with him! ”

The eldest princess hesitated: "Second brother, he won't oppress people with his identity, right?" ”

"Zhuojin," King Tan didn't have time to continue, when he suddenly heard a few knocks on the door outside, and Aunt Yue cautiously asked outside: "Princess, princess, the slave has something important to report." ”

King Tan had no choice but to be silent, and the eldest princess asked, "What's the matter?" Let's come in. ”

Aunt Yue came in and gave a blessing, with a sad face: "Princess, princess, I came up today." ”

The eldest princess was taken aback, but the king of Tan turned into a blank face—it came so quickly.

The eldest princess glanced at King Tan: "Then, please invite the second brother in." Although this meeting was embarrassing, the emperor could not be turned away.

Aunt Yue glanced at King Tan from behind: "Princess Yu, I said that he didn't plan to enter the door to make trouble, and he came here only to ...... Just to invite the third prince to leave. ”

King Tan laughed sneered: "Look, Zhuojin, do you dare to say that he won't use his identity to oppress people?" ”

At this time, even the eldest princess felt that the second brother was rude, and said abruptly: "How can there be such a reason? Didn't I violate some kind of royal law, in my house, who is willing to come, who is willing to leave, and the second brother will take care of it? Shuhui, you went back to the second brother, and he wanted to drive the third brother away, so he came in and tried it himself! ”

Aunt Yue was in great difficulty, wanted to persuade, and thought that King Tan was not good at speaking.

King Tan sighed and got up: "That's it, he is the Ninety-Five, how can we not save some face for him?" ”

The eldest princess got up and followed: "Third brother will give up now?" Just now, I thought that you would do anything to protect Qiwen. ”

"I told her in the morning," King Tan turned around, his eyes wandering around, "I am willing to protect her, as long as she is willing to be protected by me." It's a pity that you also saw it, why is she reluctant? Hold over her for me, and open your mouth if there is anything that I need to take care of in the future. ”

The eldest princess still can't bear it: "She actually ......" She is actually not so resistant to King Tan, the eldest princess is really tempted at this time, and the third brother is also very good, it is rare that he can be sincere to a woman, isn't it also a good destination for her to hand over Qiwen to him?

At the critical moment, there were small footsteps outside and hurriedly came to the door, and a maid stopped outside the door in a panic to report: "Princess, I just reiterated outside today that I must ask the third prince to go out immediately, don't ...... Don't push him to do it. ”

The eldest princess was dumbfounded, although these two brothers have not been harmonious for many years, they have not turned their faces once, especially, since the second brother Yuji, he has never put the emperor on the shelf in front of his younger siblings, this time for Qiwen, did he have to make an exception?

No matter how unhappy she was, she was not bold enough to dare to say goodbye to the emperor's second brother.

King Tan sighed gloomily and walked out of the door. After Yue Shuhui finished the curtain for him, she also retreated and closed the door.

The eldest princess stood on the woolen felt blanket and was stunned for a while, before turning around with a wry smile and saying, "Although I heard you say in advance that he would have such a set of words, I was still frightened by him." I've never seen a third brother like this. ”

Qiwen had turned out from behind the screen, cleaning up the cups and saucers on the low table, and there was no response.

The eldest princess leaned over and stretched her neck and asked, "Are you so sure that the third brother is not sincere?" ”

Qiwen hid a trace of disdain from her lips and sighed abruptly: "So far, is it sincere?" ”

The eldest princess pinched her sleeve and tugged at it: "Seriously, if you have decided that you don't want to go back to the palace to find the second brother, why don't you still want the third brother?" ”

Qiwen was full of gratitude, looked at her and smiled: "Princess, you are really a good person, seeing me between my two brothers, you have never despised me at all, you are disgusted with me, and you are still sincerely planning for me, I will remember your kindness forever." If you get the opportunity, you will repay it with all your might. ”

The eldest princess said earnestly: "I'm talking to you about serious things, don't you come and talk about him, okay?" ”

Qiwen put down the cup and saucer in her hand, shook her hand and said earnestly: "You are so good, I should stay with you." I'm really tired, I don't want to care about which of them is true or fake. ”

The eldest princess frowned and regretted it: "Actually, the third brother is not bad. ”

Qiwen was silent for a moment and said: "Think about it, if you want to switch identities with the third prince today, from the beginning, others have given those good things to Jinshang, and treat the third prince slowly, what will happen to the third prince?" Will he be in peace and control now, and won't he come and rob him today? ”

The eldest princess was stunned, as if she had an epiphany.

It's hard to say anything else, this time it's obvious enough, if Qiwen chose King Tan from the beginning, no matter how much the emperor likes her, it is impossible to entangle her anymore.

It seems this way, isn't the character of these two brothers just a judgment?

I hadn't thought about it before, but the eldest princess suddenly realized at this time that she had always been inclined to the second brother, and she always vaguely felt that the second brother seemed to be bullied and excluded by the third brother, and there was a reason for this.

It's only because they are close relatives that she didn't judge and analyze in black and white.

The third brother's theory seems to be reasonable, but in fact it is not tenable at all, taking away what should belong to others, even if it is not done by himself, should he be so reasonable? Knowing that Qiwen and her second brother are in love, even if they are both sincere, should they step in and rob her?

Thinking like this, the emotion that was instigated by King Tan just now was gone. The eldest princess no longer thinks it's good to give Qiwen to the third brother.

"At least, you still want to see him, right?" The eldest princess asked. It is self-evident who this "he" refers to.

Qiwen looked at the door stupidly, as if she hadn't heard this sentence at all......

This part of the mansion where the eldest princess lives was named "Cui Ge Xuan" by herself. At this time, outside the four vermilion lacquer gates that opened to the south, the emperor's car was parked, and more than a dozen guards led horses in a procession, with a shining embroidered spring knife on their waists, although they were dressed in casual clothes, they were awe-inspiring and heroic.

The emperor was dressed in moon-white clothes, wearing a dark blue Shu brocade cloak, dressed plain and neat, not messy, standing in front of the door solemnly and coldly, like a green pine, vigorous and upright, and imposing.

King Tan took Zhong Zheng and a total of five people to follow, walked out of the gate step by step, and approached the emperor outside step by step. The fox fur cloak on his body swayed gently with his steps.

The sky is fine, the warm sun is shining, and the midwinter wax moon almost has the warmth of early spring. Everyone present held their breath, and they clearly felt that there was a cold and terrifying aura in front of them.
