Chapter 135: Duplicity
Feng Jinglan's imperceptible movements, but he could not escape Mr. Qingchen's torch-like gaze, and smiled gently for a while.
Feng Jinglan glanced at Mr. Qingchen, inevitably feeling a little helpless in his heart, and his hand brushed his robe.
"Mr. Light Dust?" Feng Jinglan's cold eyes drooped slightly, and he gasped for breath in his nose.
Mr. Qingchen raised his eyes and shook his head helplessly: "His Royal Highness the Prince, I'm afraid I'm tempted by Gu Liangdi." ”
"Mr. Qingchen, where are these words, how can this palace be tempted by her, unless this palace is blind and blind, otherwise, with Gu Tianyan's scheming and personality, he will not be able to enter the eyes of this palace at all." Feng Jinglan said, slightly lowering his eyes to avoid Mr. Qingchen's gaze that seemed to be able to see through people's minds.
This move has clarified his heart, Mr. Qingchen shook his head helplessly, and said in his heart: He just doesn't dare to admit his heart, in fact, it is not strange that Gu Tianyan will inevitably be moved in his heart, even Qingchen can feel that Gu Tianyan also has a peculiar temperament, which is enough to make people fall into it unconsciously.
However, Mr. Qingchen did not explain, and his bony fingers covered the tabletop, and his fingertips swept over the paper scroll in front of him.
"After the matter of Concubine Yang is resolved, has His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ever thought about who will be the crown princess?" Mr. Qingchen asked.
Feng Jinglan groaned and shook his head, there are many beautiful people in this prince's mansion, and I am afraid that only Chu Jiaorou and Gu Tianyan are close to Feng Jinglan. Chu Jiaorou is no longer possible, she is a member of the Chu family after all, especially after she slips the tire, this possibility is even more impossible.
As for Gu Qianyan, with the difficult situation he is in now and Gu Tianyan's identity and status. It was almost impossible, not to mention that she ******** thinking about leaving the prince's mansion, thinking of this Feng Jinglan frowned. The hands under the table clutched the robe, and there was a different little-known feeling in my heart.
Even if Mr. Qingchen is very smart, it is difficult to read all of them, and he hesitated about Feng Jinglan's thoughts, but after all, he did not explain what he guessed in front of Feng Jinglan.
"You can take your time in the future, it's too early to make a crown princess." Feng Jinglan stopped.
"It's also time, if this matter drags on any longer, it will not be a good thing for the entire Prince's Mansion. If there is no suitable person above to force the backyard of the Prince's Mansion, this woman's battle may be even more fierce. Mr. Light Dust had to be reminded.
Feng Jinglan nodded undeniably, these days the prince's mansion is in trouble because of these women. It has long been deceived everywhere, and it is not difficult to see the women's fighting methods, but the methods used to fight are to force others to their deaths.
Just like Yang Pinglan, if she pushes out again, she has already let a Qi Hongshan soul return to heaven without doing it herself. and then because of Yang Pinglan's actions. made the sisterhood between Chu Jiaorou and Gu Tianyan no longer exist, and there was only a lifetime of fighting and injury left between the two.
Feng Jinglan recalled that day when Gu Qianyan was dying, his cheeks were red and swollen, not to mention that he Feng Jinglan would be furious if others saw it, Gu Tianyan's injury was a well-known fact in the prince's mansion for a while, so the old injury at that time was not healed, the new injury came again, and a face was slapped miserably. Even the appearance of Lu Ping's little slave kowtowing outside the door of the prince's mansion couldn't help but move people.
Feng Jinglan's expression fluctuated, and it was naturally not difficult for Mr. Qingchen to see it.
"His Royal Highness the Prince. Have you considered Gu Liangdi? Mr. Qingchen said.
Feng Jinglan's expression paused slightly, and said thoughtfully: "Gu Liangdi's scheming and scheming, the trade-offs are indeed suitable for the position of the crown princess, but the Gu family's power is not too strong, insisting on sitting in this position will make Gu Liangdi cause trouble, and besides, doesn't she always want to leave here?" This palace will not be difficult for others! ”
"Then His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can't work hard to let her stay, although the Gu family's power is not too strong, it is not weak in the government and the opposition, Gu Liangdi's style of acting, standing in this position, there are many things that can be interfered in, maybe this prince's mansion can calm down."
Feng Jinglan looked at Mr. Qingchen with both eyes, and finally shook his head with a light smile, no longer thinking about the deep meaning of Mr. Qingchen's words.
He knew very well at this time that Gu Qianyan was not interested in the crown princess, and his understanding of Gu Tianyan was just the tip of the iceberg, he couldn't make such a decision just because he felt that Gu Tianyan was good at this time, although the position of the crown princess was not necessarily the future queen, but it was the closest place to the phoenix position.
"How does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince plan to explain to the Chu family now, and how can such a thing be brought to the ears of the Chu family." Mr. Qingchen asked the most important question, and it was also the first thing they had to solve.
"This palace has been telling the Chu family that this matter is still being investigated, so it doesn't matter when you find it, what matters is whether Gu Tianyan can pull the key person certificate of Qiu Ting, otherwise there is no evidence, and just a sachet will not prove anything." Feng Jinglan said.
Mr. Qingchen shook his head and said, "Gu Liangdi once said that there is a medicine in the sachet, but because it has been mixed in the sachet for too long, Gu Liangdi has only seen it once at Concubine Chu, and it is difficult to distinguish the fragrance." ”
"Now that the sachet is in the hands of Concubine Chu, I am afraid that it will be difficult for the palace to get it from Concubine Chu."
"That sachet is the most important piece of physical evidence, and it is also the key to the confrontation between the Chu family and the Yang family in the end, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince must get the sachet in his hands no matter what." Mr. Qingchen said sternly.
Feng Jinglan nodded and said no more.
……
That night, in the little half month that Chu Jiaorou was grounded, Feng Jinglan set foot in Chu Jiaorou's palace for the first time.
In the palace pavilion, Chu Jiaorou was just about to fall asleep, and when she saw Feng Jinglan coming, she was inevitably a little secretly happy in her heart, but she forced her excessive actions, and sat on her seat indifferently, looking at Feng Jinglan, as if she didn't care about anything.
"Jiaorou thought that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had forgotten Jiaorou, and her heart was all in Gu Liangdi." Chu Jiaorou said without complaints, and she couldn't see a general idea on her face, but there was a sour taste when she said this.
Feng Jinglan sat down slowly beside Chu Jiaorou, her eyes without much emotion looked directly at Chu Jiaorou's slightly heroic and pretty face, and said lightly: "Can't this palace come to see you?" ”
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can come when he wants, and he can leave if he wants. There is no way to change the concubine, just like now that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has come down, Jiaorou is naturally happy in her heart. Chu Jiaorou said. The tone was not as joyful as she had said.
"And what do you want Hongu to do?" Feng Jinglan asked rhetorically.
"Is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince joking with his concubines? How can the concubines hope that His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness the Prince's concubines are naturally waiting for him, and if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince does not come, the concubines will look forward to it all day long in this palace, and they will not ask for anything else. ”
Under these words, Feng Jinglan pulled Chu Jiaorou's chin, and the flickering candlelight on the table reflected on the faces of the two, leaving an orange light. Chu Jiaorou's eyes were inevitably a little moved when she looked at Feng Jinglan, and her hand gently slapped Feng Jinglan's hand away from her chin.
"The concubines are not angry with His Royal Highness the Prince, as long as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is willing to stay today. No matter how much temper the concubine has, she will not mess with His Royal Highness the Prince. Chu Jiaorou said helplessly, her palm had already encircled Feng Jinglan's generous hand.
"This palace has made you unhappy, but it is really unruly for you to act like that." Feng Jinglan said coldly.
Chu Jiaorou couldn't help but squeeze out a soft snort between her lips and teeth, and watched Feng Jinglan spread the hand she had just held again: "Then why didn't His Royal Highness the Crown Prince say it." In fact, His Royal Highness himself was too protective of Gu Liangdi. Since I'm a side concubine, can't I even teach Gu Liangdi a lesson? ”
"Jiaorou......" Feng Jinglan said softly.
"The concubine knows that this is a little pampered, and it will not be like this in the future." Chu Jiaorou smiled lightly, her hand covered Feng Jinglan's cheeks, and her eyes were already red with candlelight: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, you haven't come these days, the concubines have looked for you many times in their dreams, and every time they find you, you disappear as soon as you touch them." No matter what the concubines do, they can't keep you. ”
"That's it, is the sachet still here?" Feng Jinglan asked.
Chu Jiaorou glanced at Qinglan beside her. Qinglan obediently brought up a brocade box, Chu Jiaorou let go of the brocade box, the sachet was clean and lay in the brocade box without a trace of damage, it didn't look like a harmful Chu Jiaorou's slippery fetus at all, if you didn't know, you would think this was Chu Jiaorou's baby.
"Let it go, whoever harms the concubine's child, the concubine will definitely not tolerate it." Chu Jiaorou responded with a slight smile, her eyes looked at Feng Jinglan's handsome face: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince won't think that such a concubine is bad, and let the concubine be grounded in this palace for a few more months, right?" ”
"Who did it, this palace can find out it, are you willing to hand over the sachet to this palace for disposal?" Feng Jinglan asked.
Chu Jiaorou was stunned for a moment, her hand couldn't help but close the brocade box on the table, and she looked at Feng Jinglan suspiciously: "His Royal Highness the Prince, don't you want to use this matter to favor Gu Liangdi?" ”
"Why does this palace favor Gu Liangdi?" Feng Jinglan asked rhetorically.
"Gu Liangdi is the murderer of the concubine's child, why didn't His Royal Highness the Crown Prince go to her to ask for her life, but came to the concubine to take the sachet, do you want Gu Liangdi to get out of the house?!" Chu Jiaorou looked at the brocade box a little nervously.
Since Chu Jiao's silky tire, people are not as docile as before, and sometimes they are chattering like this, seeing that people are distressed and there is nothing they can do about her, Feng Jinglan knows that she can't be hard with Chu Jiao now, and if she is not careful, it will make things irreparable.
Feng Jinglan held Chu Jiaorou's wrist, and her tone was as soft as she was when she spoke like this.
"If this matter is really done by Gu Liangdi, this palace will never tolerate it!" When Feng Jinglan blurted out these words, the expression on his face was fierce and serious.
Chu Jiaorou thought about it, and finally nodded towards Feng Jinglan and said: "The sachet in this brocade box can be handed over to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for disposal, but today His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will stay in the palace of the concubines. After that, Chu Jiaorou stroked her abdomen with her gentle hand: "This kid is going to give him an explanation after all, isn't it?" ”
Feng Jinglan nodded, Chu Jiaorou stuffed the bag that hurt her slippery tire into Feng Jinglan's arms, the melancholy face that had been sad for many days always had a smile, Chu Jiaorou was not as pampered and unreasonable as anyone imagined, and her scheming was deep, but after the child was lost, she lost her heart.
On the other side, Gu Tianyan's lantern was still lit, and he sat at the table fixedly, looking at the flickering candlelight in front of him, he looked a little tired, and when he saw Lu Ping coming in, Gu Tianyan hurriedly sat up straight, and saw that the person who came was not Feng Jinglan and lay on the table again.
"Master, are you still waiting for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to come over?" Luping asked with a smile.
Gu Tianyan shook his head and said, "It's just that today's affairs are a little busy, so I can't sleep for a while." The expression on Gu Tianyan's face was still calm, and his tone of voice was a little duplicitous.
Lu Ping looked at Gu Qianyan's appearance, and naturally believed these words, sat beside Gu Qianyan and said: "The slave maid still thinks that the master is waiting for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to come over, and I wanted to tell the master that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will not come tonight, I heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince rested at the side of Concubine Chu." ”
"Not long after Concubine Chu slipped the baby, it would be good for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to take care of her." Gu Tianyan said indifferently, and the figure that was originally lying on the table slowly sat upright.
The shadow of the lamp on the table was still flickering, Gu Qianyan lifted the scissors on the table, cut a section of the wick, and the light of the lamp gradually became clearer, and then Gu Tianyan glanced at Lu Ping, and wanted to say that he was tired, but he swallowed it back after all.
"Prepare pen and ink, it is inevitable that I will not be able to sleep tonight, I want to pick up the pen and write, and I will sleep when I am sleepy." Gu Tianyan said.
"Master, you can't mess around like this, go to bed and rest quickly, you are so diligent this night, and you are not afraid of hurting a pair of eyes." Luping said helplessly.
"If you hurt it, it hurts, and it's not a pretty object." Gu Tianyan said indifferently.
Hearing Gu Tianyan say this, Lu Ping was not happy in her heart: "Who said that the master's eyes are not a rare object, I see that the master's eyes are the most beautiful in the world, clear for a while, and as if they are full of stars, if Lu Ping is a man, I will not close my eyes when I look at my master in this life." ”
"If you're a man, what can you do with your stupid appearance?" Gu Tianyan smiled lightly and tapped the tip of Lu Ping's nose with his fingertips, and said: "That's it, you said let me sleep, I'll sleep, otherwise Lu Ping might be crying in Yalanju again." ”
"Master, you are talking nonsense, whoever cries his nose, Luping will not cry his nose." Lu Ping said hurriedly.
Gu Tianyan shook his head and smiled, the boredom in his heart was also swept away by Lu Ping's cute appearance, he stood up and let Lu Ping serve him to untie his clothes, and he was already very disappointed in Feng Jinglan in his heart.
The hope he held at the beginning, or the fact that the change was all shattered at this time, Gu Tianyan told himself in his heart that this person's heart was not something that could be trusted at will, and it was like this that Gu Tianyan's face had a little more smile.
She never thought that one day, she would be like those wives and concubines of the prince's mansion, waiting for the arrival of the man who lingered around all kinds of women, Gu Tianyan told herself that this was the first time and the last time in her life.
The light gradually dimmed, Gu Tingyan lay on the soft bed, Luping had closed the door and retreated, this huge Yalanju looked a little deserted, originally this was what Gu Tingyan had been longing for, but she didn't expect that at this time, Gu Tingyan's heart would also be a little depressed because of this coldness, and after a long time, she closed the eyes full of stars in Luping's mouth and fell asleep.
No one appeared in the dream, and it was quiet and only a blank space. (To be continued.) )
