Chapter Eighty-Six: Guess What You Said?

Shi Wanqing looked at everyone's mocking eyes, stomped her feet unwillingly, turned around and walked behind Shuang Chen in a gray manner.

Ji Zheng and Jin Ran glanced at each other, smiled with their eyebrows, and seemed to have completed a silent conversation

"How's it going, how is this princess cooperating?"

"Nature is excellent."

Then Jin Ran looked at Hou Manqi and spoke

"County Lord, I'm really sorry, I haven't forgotten this incident, I just didn't remember it for a while."

Hou Manqi looked at Jin Ran, his lips trembled slightly and he spoke

"Manqi has always wanted to thank Jin Gongzi for saving his life back then."

Jin Ran smiled shyly

"It's okay, it's okay, it's not a big deal, I definitely can't sit idly by and ignore them bullying you like this." After speaking, he scratched his head embarrassedly, and then looked at Ji Zheng a little shyly.

Ji Zheng pretended not to see it and glanced to the side.

After a while, Zhuang Zhai spoke

"The three highnesses, can you treat her lightly and spare her life for the sake of Hou Man's prayer that she suffered pity and did not cause a catastrophe."

Jiang Guantong nodded and then spoke

"It's just that there's something I still don't understand?"

Ji Zheng looked at Jiang Guantong and nodded, and then spoke

"That's right, I almost forgot, Hou Manqi, this princess has always had something unclear, Shi Wanqing wanted to frame us because of the relationship between the imperial brothers, and you?"

Ji Zheng reviewed Hou Manqi again before speaking

"I should have had no grievances with you since I was a child, and there doesn't seem to be anything that has offended you, let alone Guan Tong, before this incident, you didn't know each other. But why did you frame us along with Wanqing? I don't understand this. ”

Hou Manqi raised his head and looked at Ji Zheng with some resentment in his eyes

"Your Royal Highness really doesn't understand?"

The moment Ji Zheng and Hou Manqi met their eyes, they were still frightened by Hou Manqi's resentful gaze.

Ji Zheng frowned, seeing Hou Manqi like this, he should have hated himself, but if he thought about it carefully, he couldn't think of where he offended this Hou Manqi.

Then Ji Zheng looked at Hou Manqi and asked

"Then what do you say I offended you, and it will be solved by saying it."

Hou Manqi still looked at the irrelevant people around him coldly, and then turned his head to Ji Zheng and spoke

"I'll just say that I'll listen to you alone, and forget about what the others are here."

"Presumptuous." Jiang Guantong and Ji Fan opened their mouths in unison.

didn't have time to think about anything else, Jiang Guantong continued to speak

"Who do you think you are, and do whatever you want? Give you a chance to excuse yourself, and you actually kicked your nose in the face. Jiang Guantong's face was full of seriousness, and he asked angrily in the direction where Hou Manqi's voice came from.

Hou Manqi still didn't care about Jiang Guantong's anger, just looked at Ji Zheng in front of him with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and raised his eyebrows slightly.

In the face of Hou Manqi's silent provocation, Ji Zheng didn't understand what kind of grudge Hou Manqi had with him.

Zhuang Zhai looked at Hou Manqi, who was so self-defeating, and also spoke in a sullen voice

"Hou Manqi, don't mess around."

I saw that Hou Manqi ignored him completely, but Ji Zheng turned around and pointed to the prison door

"You all go out."

Then he looked at Ji Fan, Jiang Guantong and Jin Ran spoke

"Imperial Brother Guan Tong and Jin Ran, you should also go out first."

"Signs." Jiang Guantong opened his mouth dissatisfied.

"Guan Tong is right, she doesn't say that we don't listen, you don't have to." Jin Ran spoke.

"They're right." This time, Ji Fan also spoke.

Ji Zheng was anxious

"Oh, she didn't say how I knew where I offended her, should I live in unknown guilt in the future? Brother Huang, if you go out first, it's a sign to beg you. Ji Zheng begged Ji Fan, feeling like he was about to cry.

Ji Fan still stood motionless in the distance, and this time even Jin Ran, who was extremely obedient to Ji Zheng, did not move

"What if she doesn't hurt you while we're away?" Jin Ran asked.

"Oh, no, you guys are outside, no matter how powerful she is, she can't beat the royal brother."

Seeing Ji Fan and Jinran, who couldn't be beaten, Ji Zheng had to pin his hopes on Jiang Guantong

"Guan Tong, please, help me persuade Brother Huang and Jin Ran to go out. Do you really want to see me live in unknown guilt in the future? Letting you out is also for a better solution. Rest assured, there will be no danger. ”

Jiang Guantong hesitated and looked up in Ji Fan's direction

"This 。。。。。"

Jiang Guantong hadn't spoken yet, and Ji Fan also spoke

"If there's danger, you shout loudly?"

After speaking, he pulled Jiang Guantong and walked straight out, and when he saw Ji Fan going out, Lei Yu and his party also walked out with each other.

Only Jin Ran was still standing beside Ji Zheng, and after everyone walked out, Jin Ran explained again uneasily

"Zheng'er, if there is danger, remember to shout loudly, Ji Fan and I will rush in as soon as possible."

Ji Zheng nodded

"Don't worry, I will." Only then did he see Jin Ran walk out. Seeing that Jin Ran had already walked out of the door of the prison of the Criminal Department, Ji Zheng turned to look at Hou Manqi

"Tell me, what kind of grudge can't be said in front of other people."

Hou Manqi also looked at the direction that Jin Ran had just walked, and opened his mouth meaningfully

"Why you?"

Ji Zheng was confused

"Huh? What the? I don't understand? ”

"I said why you? Why did Jinran choose you? ”

Ji Zheng is even more foggy

"What do you say? Jinran? What does it have to do with Jinran? Didn't you just thank him for saving you? ”

Hou Manqi smiled bitterly

"It's because he saved me that I asked why you were with him?"

At the end of this question, Hou Manqi almost roared and roared.

Ji Zheng took a step back abruptly, looked at Hou Manqi with a blank look, and only spoke after a long period of confusion

"So, you like Jinran? Because of the time when Jin Ran saved you, you liked him, and it was also because of Jin Ran that you designed to frame me with Shi Wanqing? ”

"yes, that's it, isn't that excuse enough?" Hou Manqi's face was full of provocation.

Ji Zheng asked Hou Man with red eyes

"I like Jinran, Jinran also likes me, what's wrong with this, you can't harm me because of your selfish desires."

Hearing Ji Zheng's words, Hou Manqi laughed, giving Ji Zheng the feeling that he was laughing.

Looking at Hou Manqi, who had been laughing, Ji Zheng was also angry

"Shut up."

Hearing this, Hou Manqi's laughter stopped abruptly, and he looked straight at Ji Zheng and spoke

"Like? If you like him, it's fine, but what you did to Jin Ran, I really can't see what you like him anymore, it's not so much that you like it, it's better to say that you just rely on you to bully her and he doesn't fight back. ”

The more Ji Zheng listened, the more he didn't understand

"When did Princess Ben bully him? You're not him, how do you know I'm bullying him. ”

"I'm not him, but I see everything you've done to him? Whether it is a palace banquet or a national ceremony, no matter how formal and serious the occasion, you will beat and scold Jinran at every turn, no matter whether anyone is present at the time, you can beat it if you want to. ”

Speaking of this, Hou Manqi paused slightly, and then continued to speak towards Ji Zheng

"Ji Zheng, Jin Ran, as the first assistant concubine, will also be an official in the court in the future, if you treat him like this in front of hundreds of civil and military officials, you are not afraid of brushing his face, so that he will fall into a fearful handle in the future."

"You are talking nonsense, Jin Ran is not such a person, we have been like this since we were children, if he cared that he had told me a long time ago, he would not have endured it all the time."

"You're a princess, how dare he tell you this. That's why I hate you, and I don't cherish it after I can't get together, and I beat and scold him at every turn, he is so good, how can you treat him like this? ”

"I don't, I also cherish Jinran, it's not what you said, don't talk nonsense anymore, my father doesn't want to hear it."

After Ji Zheng finished speaking, he raised his hand to cover his ears.

Hou Manqi laughed again, even though Ji Zheng had already covered his ears with his hands, the piercing laughter still came into his ears one after another.

Ji Zheng shook his head and looked at Hou Manqi

"Shut up, shut up for Princess Ben."

Seeing Ji Zheng put down the hand covering his ears, Hou Manqi stopped laughing and spoke

"Do you don't want to hear it, or do you find it unacceptable to hear it?"

After speaking, he looked at Ji Zheng playfully.

Ji Zheng stepped back again and again, pointing at Hou Man and praying

"You madman, I don't want to listen to you." After saying that, he turned around and ran out.

。。。。。。

Jin Ran stood at the door of the prison, looking inside from time to time, muttering in his mouth

"Why hasn't this sign come out yet?"

Jiang Guantong was also full of anxiety. Even Ji Fan, who had always been calm and self-controlled, frowned and looked at the deep prison door.

Then he said, "Let's go inside." ”

Jin Ran got the order, and immediately pulled out his legs and was about to rush in.

just walked to the door of the cell, but happened to collide with Ji Zheng who ran out.

Jin Ran looked down and saw that the person who collided with him happened to be Ji Zheng, and the thick fog on his brow suddenly disappeared, helping Ji Zheng

"Ah, isn't this coming out? It's a false alarm. Jin Ran turned back to Ji Fan and Jiang Guantong and said, while holding Ji Zheng to speak.

Then he heard a few sobs, Jin Ran immediately looked back, only to see Ji Zheng with his head down, and his shoulders kept shaking because of the sobs, and Jin Ran immediately stretched his brows and furrowed and looked down at Ji Zheng

"Zheng'er, what's wrong with you?"

Hearing Jin Ran's concerned voice, Ji Zheng raised his head and looked at Jin Ran

Then he broke off Jin Ran's hand on his shoulder, took a step back and spoke

"I'm sorry, Jinran." After saying that, he went straight around Jinran and was about to run out.

Jin Ran was even more confused by Ji Zheng's sudden sorry.

Seeing that Ji Zheng ran straight past him, Jin Ran quickly grabbed Ji Zheng's hand, and then pulled Ji Zheng to his side before he spoke anxiously

"Zheng'er, what's wrong with you, why did you cry all of a sudden?"

When Ji Zheng saw Jin Ran asking, he cried even more fiercely.

Ji Fanjiang Guan Tong was also anxious and hurriedly stepped forward.

Jiang Guantong touched Ji Zheng's shoulder and asked with concern

"What the hell is going on?"

Qinghe also stepped forward, "Ouch, my little ancestor, what the hell is going on?"

Ji Zheng was still crying, looking at Jin Ran, and kept talking to Jin Ran with an apologetic face

"Jinran, I didn't mean to."

Everyone was stunned, Jiang Guantong frowned, asked Ji Fan to be optimistic about Ji Zheng, and then asked Jin Ran to follow him to the other side of the pillar before speaking

"Did Hou Manqi say something to Zheng'er? How else could it be like this? ”

。。。。。。。。

Jin Ran looked at Ji Zheng who was pulled by Ji Fan suspiciously, and then looked at Jiang Guantong suspiciously

"No, just sign for this temperament, what can Hou Manqi do to her in a few words?"

Jiang Guantong also felt that it was impossible, but looking at Ji Zheng's current appearance, she felt that Ji Zheng became like this, and nine times out of ten it was inseparable from Hou Manqi. Jiang Guantong frowned, bit his fingers, lowered his head as if he was thinking about something, listening to Ji Zheng's cry on the side, Jiang Guantong was even more anxious

"Hou Manqi? Hou Manqi? He muttered Hou Manqi's name.

Suddenly, he looked up, "I see." Jin Ran was stunned

"What do you know?"

Jiang Guantong pointed in the direction where Jin Ran's voice came from and spoke

"Jinran, Hou Manqi must like you, and then said something hurtful. Because when I heard the signs, I cried and said sorry to you. ”

Speaking of this, a trace of anger ignited in Jiang Guantong's eyes that he couldn't focus, and he said to Jinran

"Let's go, I'll meet her, and I dare to cry for her." After that, he rolled up his sleeves and turned around and walked towards the door of the cell.

Jin Ran stepped forward to stop Jiang Guantong

"No need, I'll go, it's the first time I've seen someone make Zheng'er look like this, and I have to get it back for Zheng'er."

"Yes, that's right, so let's go together." Jiang Guantong is still aggressive.

"Okay, let's go together." After speaking, the two of them walked towards the door of the prison of the Criminal Department in a rage. When he walked in front of Ji Zheng and Ji Fan, he saw Ji Zheng huddled in Ji Fan's arms crying. Jiang Guantong listened to Ji Zheng's heart-rending cry, and Jiang Guantong opened his mouth in distress

"Zheng'er, don't cry, how did she bully you, Jin Ran and I went to get it back for you."

Jin Ran nodded, "Yes, don't cry, Zheng'er, it's not good to cry again." We'll get justice for you. ”

When Ji Zheng heard that Jin Ran was also going, he raised his tearful face from Ji Fan's arms and sobbed his mouth

"Don't go, you don't go."

"How can it be done, she actually made you cry like this, I can't stand it."

"Yes, Zheng'er, you just stay here, Ji Fan, let's go in, you take care of Zheng'er here."

After speaking, he raised his hand and hung it in the air, and everyone was stunned.

"What are you doing here?" Jin Ran asked.

"You have to help me, how can I get in if you don't help me."

"Oh~" Jin Ran's voice dragged on, and his eyes moved from Jiang Guantong's hand hanging in the air to Ji Fan, seeing that Ji Fan's expression was as usual, and there was no change, and he nodded towards Jin Ran and signaled Jin Ran to help Jiang Guantong. Jin Ran smiled and then went to Fujiang Guan Tong with confidence.

was held up, and Jiang Guantong spoke

"Then Ji Fan and I will go in, you can appease Zheng'er well."

After speaking, the two of them immediately changed their faces to anger and walked towards the door of the prison of the Criminal Department, and the two of them walked firmly, as if they were going to a Hongmen banquet.

Hou Manqi looked at the small skylight in the cell in a daze, and heard the conversation between Jiang Guantong and Jinran

"Hurry up, Jinran, why are you so slow."

"It's not that you can't see it, what if you fall, don't wait for Hou Manqi to see it, so he was carried to the hospital first."

"Oh, don't give me nonsense, hurry up and speed up the pace for me."

Hou Manqi smiled lightly, and after glancing at the deep and dark corridor, he continued to turn his head to look at the light shining through the skylight.

Jin Ran was constantly driven by Jiang Guantong, an anxious man, and had to speed up the pace of his feet, and after stopping at the door of Hou Manqi's prison, Hou Manqi also turned his head and looked over.

Jiang Guantong didn't know that he had arrived, and opened his mouth to Jinran suspiciously

"No, why don't you leave, why did you stop."

Since he looked at Hou Manqi and spoke

"We're here."

Jiang Guantong paused slightly, then sneered lightly and spoke

"Hou Manqi, why did you say those words to Zheng'er?"

Jin Ran was stunned for a moment, and looked at Jiang Guantong, no, this princess really doesn't play cards according to the normal routine, as soon as she came, she asked Hou Manqi aggressively why she said those words to Zheng'er, and those who didn't know really thought that after Ji Zheng went out, she repeated all the things Hou Manqi said to her to the people outside.

Of course, Jin Ran couldn't dismantle the stage, and he also restrained his usual cynical appearance, and spoke in a cold voice

"Why are you doing that?"

Hou Manqi looked at Jin Ran and said with a smile

"She went out and told you anyway."

Listening to Hou Manqi's words, Jiang Guantong's eyebrows were almost invisible and slightly raised, and then he continued to ask coldly

"Princess Ben asked you why you did this?"

"You really don't know why I'm doing this?" On the surface, this sentence was Huijiang Guan Tong, but Hou Manqi completely looked at Jin Ran and said it.

Seeing Hou Manqi like this, Jin Ran frowned

"I don't know, and... Jin Ran also looked at Hou Manqi squarely, and continued to add in a disgusted tone that he had never seen in Jin Ran before

"I'm not interested in knowing."

Hou Manqi listened to Jin Ran's words, his pupils shrank suddenly, and then he smiled self-deprecatingly.

Jiang Guantong listened to Jin Ran's tone, and was secretly happy in his heart

"That's right, Jinran, you guy. Raise people to fight with Ji Fan like this. After secretly being happy for a while, he also spoke coldly in the direction of Hou Manqi

"Jin Ran doesn't know, I know." Listening to Hou Manqi's reaction and tone, it is enough to prove that what she said outside just now is nine times out of ten, Hou Manqi should be because Jin Ran liked Jin Ran when she saved her, so she just cried inside Zheng'er, but what Hou Manqi said to Ji Zheng, Jiang Guantong really couldn't guess.

Jiang Guantong continued to speak

"I know, I'll tell you."

"Hou Manqi, you like Jinran, right? And since you were a child, that is, the time he saved you, you fell in love with her. ”

Jin Ran snorted coldly, not looking at Hou Manqi at all.

Jiang Guantong continued to speak

"So, you and Zheng'er don't have any deep hatred at all, the cause and effect of all this is because Jinran likes Ji Zheng, whether you do this out of jealousy or love."

Hou Manqi listened to Jiang Guantong's words, and laughed to himself.

Hearing Hou Manqi's somewhat mocking laughter, Jiang Guantong frowned

"Am I not right?"

Hearing Jiang Guantong's question, Hou Manqi stopped laughing and looked at Jiang Guantong to speak

"Yes or no, I did like him since Jin Ran saved me that time"

After speaking, she also looked sideways at Jin Ran, as if she expected her to look at her in advance, she tilted her head to the side in advance to avoid Hou Manqi's affectionate gaze a second before Hou Manqi's eyes met Jinran's eyes.

Seeing that Jin Ran didn't want to see him like this, Hou Manqi's heart hurt, and he even breathed a little heavier. Holding back the tears in her eyes, she continued to speak

"But if you say I'm jealous or loved, you're thinking too simply."

"Oh? What is the reason for that? ”

Hearing this, Hou Manqi looked at Jiang Guantong and couldn't help laughing.

Jiang Guantong also realized that he had said the wrong thing, lowered his head and frowned, and cursed himself secretly

"Phew, stupid melon, so unscrupulous, didn't she know that Ji Zheng didn't tell them anything outside when she asked Hou Manqi like this? If so, wouldn't it be redundant to ask why now? ”

Seeing Jiang Guantong lowering his head and cursing his small actions, Hou Manqi couldn't help but smile

"It seems that Ji Zheng didn't tell you what I told her at all. Princess Guan Tong is really unusual, just looking at Ji Zheng's reaction, you can roughly guess the cause and effect of the incident. ”

Jiang Guantong raised his head, although his little trick was recognized, he couldn't lose in momentum, and then raised his head and continued to speak coldly

"So what? If you don't say it, you'll find a way to find out the truth. ”

Hou Manqi sneered lightly, "Since Her Royal Highness the princess asked, how dare Manqi not say it." ”

Jiang Guantong rolled his eyes

"Then dare to say it, it's so late, and this princess has to go back to sleep."

。。。。

At the door of the prison of the Criminal Department, after Ji Zheng buried himself in Ji Fan's arms and cried enough, he raised his head and looked at Ji Fan

"Brother Huang, I'm sorry, I cried and dirty your clothes."

Ji Fan looked at the clothes on his chest that were already soaked, and he didn't care, but looked at Ji Zheng with concern and asked

"What's going on? What did Hou Manqi tell you? ”

At the mention of Hou Manqi, Ji Zheng's nose was sour again, and tears couldn't stop flowing out. Ji Fan frowned slightly, and reached out to wipe the tears from Ji Zheng's cheeks. Ji Zheng choked up and spoke

"Brother Huang, do you think I'm usually bad to Jinran? I often quarrel with him in front of everyone, I still beat him if I can't win the quarrel, am I going too far, Hou Manqi said that I was too much for Jinran, Jinran didn't really like me at all, just because I was a princess, so I kept begging to be with me. Brother Huang... ”

Ji Zheng said, his eyes were already red again, and he raised his hand to wipe away the tears that filled his eyes, and then sobbed twice, choked up and asked Ji Fandao

"Brother Huang, what Hou Manqi said is not true. I seem, I seem to have bullied Jinran a lot, it turns out that he doesn't like me but is afraid of me. ”

Ji Fan looked at Ji Zheng, who was sobbing while talking, and then touched Ji Zheng's head before comforting

"Don't worry, if Jin Ran doesn't like you, then Ben Wang will definitely not bypass him."

When Ji Zheng heard this, he cried even more fiercely

"Sure enough, just because of who we are, he doesn't like me at all."

Ji Fan was stunned, he didn't mean that, and then opened his mouth to explain

"No, Zheng'er, you will be mistaken, the imperial brother means that you have grown up together since childhood, and this is how you get along, although you often do it with him, but you also have a sense of proportion, although Jin Ran usually looks unreliable, but he sees your true imperial brother in his eyes." After speaking, he raised his hand to wipe his tears for Ji Zheng. looked at Ji Zheng's red eyes before speaking

"As for the fact that you beat him, you can rest assured, maybe Jinran likes you to beat him."

Ji Zheng was tired, and Ji Fan had been persuading, but he wasn't crying, but occasionally sobbed. said to Ji Fan with red eyes

"Who would like to be beaten, but the royal brother said so much in order to coax me today, so I reluctantly accepted it."

When Ji Fan heard this, he raised his eyebrows slightly, what nonsense is not to be said, Jin Ran has the final say, as for what Jin Ran will say, it is still him Ji Fan has the final say, so in the end, Ji Fan said this just to decide for Jin Ran in advance. And it is an indisputable fact that Jinran likes to be beaten by Ji Zheng. He couldn't help but quibble.

。。。。。。。。
