Chapter 22: Confusion
"Ten years ago, on the Lantern Festival, on the shore of Los Angeles Lake, I once fell into the water, and it was General Bai's daughter who saved me. I still owe the Bai family a life, how can I frame them, putting this matter aside, two years ago, a rebel army under your father mutinied and attempted to rebel in the north, if I really want to kill your Bai family, how can I intercede for your father. The third prince looked up at the cool dawn and said slowly, as if he had fallen into a memory.
Canglan suddenly realized, she remembered that ten years ago she was on the shore of Luocheng Lake with Ling Xiao's brother during the Lantern Festival, and suddenly saw a boy who was very similar to Ling Xiao's brother struggling in the water, she didn't think too much about it, and jumped down.
It turned out that he was the boy he saved ten years ago! Don't believe it, if it wasn't for what the three princes did, could it be the eldest prince he married!
In addition, two years ago, my father handed over 30,000 troops in the north to his most trusted brother, but the second father did not listen to his father's orders in order to make meritorious contributions to himself, and as a result, 30,000 soldiers fell into the enemy's trap and the whole army was annihilated.
She suddenly lost her mind, could it be that all her efforts for so long were in vain? Canglan can't associate the eldest prince with his father's enemy, his father often exaggerates the prince at home, although the surface is cold, but he is actually a person who values love and righteousness, the prince has helped the emperor deal with government affairs for many years, and his father has also taught him a lot of the art of war, which is like teaching each other, if the real shady and murderer behind is the eldest prince, then he is a cruel man...
"Impossible... How could it be you... Even if my young lady saves your life, the Bai family is your enemy, will you be merciful to your enemy? ”
"You are wrong, I and the Bai family are not enemies, gentlemen are harmonious but different, although I have a different position from your father, but they have the same path, they are all things that benefit the country and the people, believe it or not, it can only be up to you, but you can't deal with me by yourself, you are also a Ximei now, and you will have time to understand Wei Tianyue in the future"
The rest of the journey fell silent again, but I didn't expect that when I first arrived at the city gate on the way back to the city, it was just dawn, and Canglan was feeling some pain in his buttocks, but he found that the city gate was closed.
He and Canglan felt a little weird, the gate of the imperial city was always open, but there were heavy soldiers, but how could it be closed today, and the carriage stopped in front of the city gate.
Wei Xing Han Liang took out his waist card and shouted, "Open the city gate!" ”
But the soldiers below knelt on the ground and said, "I'm afraid there is no way to open this gate."
"What's going on?" Canglan frowned slightly, as if he could have a premonition that something bad was about to happen.
"Today, the emperor ordered the city gate to be closed, and no one can enter without the emperor's permission."
Just as he was surprised, the gates of the city were opened with a heavy "zhiwu" sound.
It was not the emperor who ushered in, but the eldest prince and Concubine Xiao, the two of them sat on the sedan chair one after the other, and followed the rain by their sedan chair!
Shouldn't Yu'er wake up at this time?! For a moment, the air seemed to drop to freezing.
"How do you explain the third brother?" Wei Tianyue straightened his sleeves in a good time, and only raised his head in the middle of the sound, and his eyes swept over Wei Xinghan's gaze beside him.
Canglan was stared at by Wei Tianyue's cold and slightly angry gaze, and she moved her gaze to Concubine Xiao in the sedan chair next to Wei Tianyue.
Bai Qian Qian also looked at Canglan, with a look of waiting to watch the show next, and the corners of her mouth couldn't hide the smug smile.
"Isn't it possible that I need to explain everything to the imperial brother?"
"You don't have to explain it to me!"
"You can take my beauty out of the city, what do you explain?!" As soon as the words turned, the last word was furious, and it seemed that even the sound turned into ice cubes, and hit the air hard.
Canglan held the reins tightly in his hand and didn't say a word for a long time.
"Obviously he has become the person of the eldest prince, and he is still colluding with the third prince, I know that he is a fine work sent by the third prince, Your Highness, you have to keep your eyes open this time!" Qian Qian on the side took the opportunity to pretend to fan the flames, and Yu'er next to her looked at the vicissitudes with guilt and worry in her eyes like a child who had made a mistake.
"Shut up! If it weren't for the fact that you are the daughter of General Bai, would you be qualified to speak here! Wei Tianyue roared angrily, throwing all the dissatisfaction and anger in his heart towards Qian Qian.
Qian Qian was surprised and frightened at this time, and thought that revealing the truth could invite merit but inexplicably angered the eldest prince, but there were still three princes and Canglan here, and she couldn't lose face, so she snorted coldly at Canglan.
"Canglan, what is your relationship with the third prince?" He hoped that Canglan's answer was not what Bai Qianqian said, but Canglan in front of him was indeed with the third prince, and there was still a white-sleeved shirt on his right arm, and the touching dark red was so shocking, it seemed that he was knowingly asking again.
"What the eldest prince sees is what it is, and the concubine does not give any explanation, but I want to ask the eldest prince, you keep telling me to believe you, if you really believe it, how can you send Yu'er to my side to monitor my every move."
"Since you are the first to betray, what qualifications do you have to make others believe? If it weren't for Concubine Xiao's reminder today, when would you plan to deceive!! ”
Yu'er is just a slave and maid he sent to Canglan to protect Canglan, although her task includes monitoring, if Yu'er doesn't report her situation to him, then Concubine Xiao wants to frame Canglan, and Yu'er, as her most trusted maid, can also testify for Canglan.
"It turns out that the eldest prince is just a person who does not believe in his word, and the promise is just a cover for a lie in your mouth, otherwise how would Yu'er know my movements?! I can see it today! The hatred in his eyes as he spoke was thrown to Yu'er without reservation, and Yu'er was swept away by Canglan's cold gaze at this time, and lowered her head in shame and regret.
She didn't know that she had fallen into the trap of Qianqian, and she slept on the floor of the room, but suddenly a piece of rubble falling from a height smashed into her stomach, and she woke up from the panic, only to find that the door was open and there was no one on the bed, so he panicked to find Ximeiren.
But Canglan didn't know at all, it was Qian Qian who sent someone to monitor him, when Canglan ran out of the dormitory, Qian Qian had already sent someone to wait outside to observe Canglan's every move, as long as Canglan left the palace, Qian Qian would know, how could this good opportunity to suppress Canglan be missed? Someone was sent to wake Yu'er up that night, and Yu'er found that her master was missing, so she hurriedly reported to the eldest prince.
Taking advantage of the reason that the tide beauty was woken up by too much movement in the palace and then came out to see the excitement, Qian Qian also went out at this time, and took the opportunity to make up all kinds of false stories to the eldest prince, saying that the vicissitudes were sent by the three princes, and they had already had an adulterous affair or something, and they must have dated the third prince at this time.
Wei Tianyue was furious when he heard this, and waited at the city gate with Bai Qianqian overnight, waiting for the evidence that the three princes and Canglan appeared together as Qian Qian. He didn't want to see that, but he had to know the truth.
Bai Qianqian had never seen Wei Tianyue so angry, she was both afraid and cautious to follow him, afraid that Canglan and the third prince would not be able to appear at the city gate in time, and now that she had a good thing, she began to feel very comfortable with a sigh of relief.
In the past, Wei Tianyue felt that his mind was incomprehensible, but in those few days, the days of getting along with Wei Tianyue had left a rut mark in her heart like a carriage running over, and she felt that Wei Tianyue might be a person worth trusting.
From the night of Qianqian's wedding, the eldest prince pretended to be a eunuch and dragged her to the lake to make her his ally, and said to her, please "please believe me" At first, Canglan thought it was just a joke, but the starry sky that night seemed to be exceptionally bright.
Later, she was unexpectedly arranged to the dormitory of the second prince Wei Xuan, and almost lost her body unexpectedly, but he came in time to save her from misfortune and have a warm support.
The gentle phrase "Be my beauty!" She was flattered, indeed.
After being slandered by Qian Qian for stealing white jade, he came to see her in person with gold sore medicine, asked her if she was still angry, and laughed at herself, "I didn't expect that I, Wei Tianyue, would fall in love with a woman at first sight." ”
She wanted to read, and he could move his entire study to her side room.
Completed overnight, a luxurious academy envied the palace ladies and concubines.
All this he did really made Canglan start to believe in him, and even flashed emotional thoughts, and now everything was going to disappoint them.
"Catch them all!" With the order of the eldest prince, the soldiers on both sides of the city gate gathered in the middle to surround her and Wei Xinghan.
What surprised Canglan was Wei Xinghan, who only hated his useless martial arts.
"Which of you dares to touch her?!" Wei Xinghan shouted like thunder, after all, he was a battle-hardened person, and the soldiers around him were shocked by this voice, because because of the identity of the third prince, everyone looked at each other and did not dare to act.
"Third brother, I advise you not to make mistakes again and again!"
"It's not just the royal brother in this world who says it!"
"What are you going to do, Third Prince?" Canglan on the side asked in astonishment, Wei Xinghan defended himself like this, which could only make Bai Qianqian's slander more reasonable.
"You have the ability to rush at me!" Wei Xinghan glanced sideways at Canglan, "You still have injuries on your hands, let me come" He stretched out his hand behind his back with a "poof" sound, and pulled out his sword, the blade of which was cold and cold.
"The Third Prince..."Canglan's heart is really in chaos, isn't it really Wei Xinghan who harmed his family?
The soldiers surrounding this Canglan and Wei Xinghan couldn't help but hesitate and be afraid.
"Why are you scared?" Wei Xinghan smiled contemptuously at the guards below.
"It seems that the imperial brother doesn't take his father in his eyes, let the Bai family destroy the family, and now he is cruel to his brother, it is really insidious!"
"Shut up!" Wei Tianyue's eyes were red, and the bloodshot under his eyes was clearly visible.
"What, poking you to hurt? Looks like I'm not wrong! ”
"Catch alive and reward! Give it all to me! Wei Tianyue gave an order, and those soldiers began to pounce on the Third Prince and Canglan like swarms of bee ants.
Canglan faintly felt that things had changed, and he was a little dizzy and trying to calm himself, could it be the eldest prince? How can it be! She didn't believe it......
Canglan only felt that her heart was in turmoil, and she was a little dizzy when she sat on the horse, she raised her hand and rubbed her temples slightly, and everything in her eyes began to blur.
