Chapter 269: Don't Dare Anymore
It was dawn, and the two carriages left the gate of the Wen family unhurriedly.
Inside the door, Wen Qingfang, who was exquisitely dressed, stared at the departing carriage with a pair of eyes as if they had been quenched with poison.
Wan Shi next to him sighed and said, "Why don't we go to the prince's side and ask?" β
"Forget it." Wen Qingfang flicked her sleeves and turned her head back to the house.
Wan Shi looked outside, then at Wen Qingfang, and finally could only sigh.
Just as she was about to leave, a servant called out to her.
"Wait, Madame."
Wan Shi stopped, turned his head to look at him, and hurriedly asked, "Have you found the second young master?" β
"Hmm......" The servant in front of him nodded slowly, his eyes looking a little hesitant.
Wan Shi was impatient and shouted coldly: "Hurry up and say something, tomorrow I will take Mingyu to the Xia family to discuss the marriage!" β
The servant standing at the bottom of the stairs bowed his head and said, "Mrs. Hui, the second young master is here, in Wanhua Tower!" β
Wan Shi felt that the name was a little unfamiliar: "Wanhualou? How am I-"
Halfway through the words, he suddenly understood where this place was, and suddenly his face froze, and he said angrily: "Don't hurry up and call a few people!" Drag the second young master back! β
"Yes, yes, yes!"
Half an hour later, Wen Qingzhu dressed up and got out of the carriage.
Wen Qinglan in the back had already come down, stepped forward with a smile, and looked up at the palace gate in front of him: "Is this the palace?" β
Wen Qingzhu responded, didn't say much, said a few words to the father-in-law who took the lead, and went in with everyone.
This New Year's banquet not only invited hundreds of officials, but also invited the families of various officials, who have been relatives from all walks of life and noble families.
Not long after they entered the palace gate, the voices of many people speaking appeared in front of them.
Wen Qingzhu has shown her face in the royal paddock, and many people still know her.
But no one dared to come and say hello.
Wen Qingzhu was not there either, and took Wen Qinglan and Lu Tao and others, followed behind his father-in-law, and walked inside.
When others saw her, they all got out of the way.
Before she could walk over, the sound of pointing and pointing sounded behind her.
"She's that Miss Wen Qi?"
"No, I heard that she has colluded with King Shou."
"Then why wasn't she punished by His Majesty?"
"I overheard it outside my father's study, saying that she defected and atoned for her sins, and His Majesty forgave her."
"Then how did she qualify to come to this banquet?"
"I heard that it was a post from Princess Deca."
"She's pretty good, Princess Dejia has posted to her!"
"Humph! It's not that Princess Dejia was deceived by her! β
"That's it! I also heard that King Ning plans to ask His Majesty for marriage this time! β
"What! Forget about the five princes, His Royal Highness King Ning also-"
β¦β¦
If you go far, you can't hear the sound from behind.
Wen Qingzhu's face did not change, but Wen Qinglan couldn't hold back, stepped forward and asked in a low voice, "His Royal Highness King Ning also wants to marry you?" β
"Something to do with you?" Wen Qingzhu looked at it with his eyes and found that Wen Qinglan's expression was actually very nervous.
Wen Qinglan's heart was sullen, and she gritted her teeth for a long time before she said: "King Ning is not a good person!" Hide if you can! β
These words actually came out of Wen Qinglan's mouth.
Wen Qingzhu was very surprised, looking her up and down.
Wen Qinglan smiled stiffly: "After all, we are all members of the Wen family, if there is no entanglement of interests, I always hope that you are better." β
Seeing that there was a sincerity in her eyes, Wen Qingzhu pursed her lips and smiled, noncommittal, withdrew her gaze, and followed her father-in-law forward without squinting.
As soon as he arrived at the Imperial Garden, the first thing Wen Qingzhu met was Li Qing.
When she saw her, Li Qing couldn't help but speak to Wen Qingzhu.
However, the maid beside Li Qing seemed to be prepared, grabbed Li Qing, and said a few words in her ear, and then took Li Qing away with half a push and a half pull.
After walking for a while, Wen Qingzhu met Jiang Yijia.
But this time, she didn't attack Wen Qingzhu, but stared at Wen Qinglan non-stop.
Seeing this, his father-in-law hurriedly introduced Wen Qingzhu and the others to Jiang Yijia.
Jiang Yijia suddenly laughed, pointed at Wen Qingzhu and said, "Weren't you Wen Qinglan a sworn enemy before?" Today's opportunity, you actually brought her! β
"Back to the princess, I'm scared to come alone, the twelfth sister is married, so I can only bring the fourth sister over." Wen Qingzhu's attitude was excellent, and he didn't care about Jiang Yijia's provocation at all.
Jiang Yijia wanted to say something, but the voice of King Ning came from the side.
"Yijia! Don't be rude! β
When Jiang Yuanan came over, Wen Qingzhu and the others naturally saluted again.
King Ning's gaze wandered on Wen Qingzhu's body recklessly, and he said in an ambiguous tone: "Miss Wen Qi is getting more and more beautiful, but this body is not well maintained, and when I go back this time, this king will send someone to send you some tribute supplements." β
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Royal Highness King Ning, there is no need for supplements, the Wen family has nothing else, and they can still afford to eat." Wen Qingzhu ignored King Ning's undoubted intentions and replied patiently.
Jiang Yijia was angry when she saw that Wen Qingzhu's oil and salt did not enter, and she didn't know what to do.
"Wen Qingzhu! You don't have to be ashamed! Brother, this is-"
"Shut up!" Jiang Yuanan sank his face and squinted at Jiang Yijia, "Didn't the concubine let you go earlier, what are you still doing in a daze!" β
"Brother!" Jiang Yijia couldn't believe it, and blurted out, "This woman hasn't entered your mansion yet!" β
Jiang Yuancheng didn't speak, but the anger in his body suddenly emanated. 17
Jiang Yijia shrank her neck in fright, endured it and endured it, and left with the palace maid guards.
Finally waited for Jiang Yijia to leave, King Ning was about to invite Wen Qingzhu, and Fu Yu's voice came from behind.
"Miss Wen Qi, are you free now?"
Wen Qingzhu looked sideways, Fu Yu took Zhou Yiyi upside down, and there was a little girl who looked a little familiar.
Fu Yu saw that she had been staring at his sister, so he introduced, "This is my ...... Cousin, Fu Thirteen. β
Looking at this Fu Thirteen, Wen Qingzhu felt very familiar.
Wait a minute!
Didn't this Fu Thirteen later become Jiang Yuancheng's side concubine!
"Miss Wen Qi, what's wrong with Thirteen?" Fu Yu saw Wen Qingzhu's eyes change again and again, and couldn't help but ask.
Wen Qingzhu raised his eyebrows and smiled: "It's okay, I just think this Miss Fu is a little familiar." β
Fu Yu felt that Wen Qingzhu was not telling the truth.
But now is not the time to dwell on this kind of thing: "Miss Wen Qi, can you talk about it alone." β
"I can't ask for it." Wen Qingzhu didn't want to get along with King Ning.
Fu Yu turned his head and arched his hand to Jiang Yuanan, and here he gave Zhou Yi an order, asking her to take Wen Qinglan and Fu Shisan around at will.
As for the father-in-law who picked up the lead, Wen Qingzhu asked him to bring a message to Jiang Dejia, and she would go later.
Jiang Yuancheng could only hold back his anger and looked at Fu Yu and Wen Qingzhu and turned their heads to leave.
Arrived at a deserted path.
Wen Qingzhu spoke first: "That Miss Fu is a side branch of your Fu family, right?" β
Fu Yu looked at her sideways, and her eyes deepened: "She rarely goes out, do you actually know her?" β
Wen Qingzhu lowered his head and laughed, and asked Fu Yu rhetorically: "What is her relationship with you?" If the relationship is good, for your sake, I will save her life. β
Hearing this, Fu Yu stopped and stared at Wen Qingzhu's back.
Wen Qingzhu followed, and did not look back, but looked around, and saw that there was no one around, so he said in a voice that only two people could hear: "This Miss Fu has a close relationship with the Fifth Prince, if I guess correctly, she is here for the Fifth Prince, if you think it is okay, just because I didn't say this." β
"How do you know?!" Fu Yu chased after him.
The two of them continued to walk forward, and Wen Qingzhu no longer explained: "The world-famous Fu Yulang's methods are not to say that he is all over the world, this little thing is still not a problem, you can check it carefully." β
Fu Yu was silent for a moment: "Thank you." β
"You're welcome, after all, I have a request for you." Wen Qingzhu looked at it with a smile, Fu Yu's heart jumped, and he felt that he was going to be unlucky again.
Half an hour later, Jiang Dejia's palace maid came over.
Wen Qingzhu said goodbye to Fu Yu and followed the palace maid.
It was only after walking for less than half an hour that Wen Qingzhu found that no one around him appeared.
Wen Qingzhu glanced around vigilantly, this was the way to the cold palace.
She stopped, and the palace maid in front of her turned back sharply and urged her, "Miss Wen Qi, Her Royal Highness the Princess is still waiting for you." β
Wen Qingzhu prepared the poison on his wrist, and said with a smile: "I'm a little tired, you can help me go." β
When the palace maid saw her say this, she breathed a sigh of relief, and said as she walked over: "It's the slave maid who is not serving well, Miss Wen is here, please." β
When the palace maid walked up, Wen Qingzhu's sleeve was raised, and he said with a smile: "I'm sorry for you." β
"No trouble, no trouble." The palace maid suddenly felt a little dizzy, but she still forcibly endured and walked forward.
Wen Qingzhu deliberately slowed down his pace, silently counting in his heart.
β¦β¦ Three-two-one!
The palace maid who was supporting her suddenly rolled her eyes, fell to the ground, and fainted.
Wen Qingzhu looked around, fortunately she didn't go far, and she hadn't reached the cold palace yet.
She is already familiar with the way to this palace.
Even the underground palace that few people know about, Wen Qingzhu knows it very well.
After turning around, Wen Qingzhu picked a direction, pushed aside the grass and walked towards Wugutai.
It's just that Wen Qingzhu looked at it, and now no one has taken care of this road.
Along the way, she almost walked through the weeds and bushes.
There are many evergreen trees and evergreen grass in the palace, and the dead leaves have not rubbed on the body, but they are dyed with a circle of green coldness.
Just as she was about to remove the last bush, she suddenly noticed that the grass in front of her moved.
Wen Qingzhu stopped instantly, carefully listening to the movement on the other end.
No one usually comes to this place!
Just as he was thinking this, a figure suddenly stood up in front of him.
Wen Qingzhu raised his eyes and could only see a messy head on top of his head.
Without any hesitation, Wen Qingzhu rushed forward quickly and grabbed the hair of the person in front of him.
Who knew that this person turned his head and knelt down, holding a half-gnawed chicken leg in a pair of black hands, crying and begging: "I don't dare anymore!" Don't dare anymore! β
Wen Qingzhu stared at the little boy in front of him, and was very surprised.
He was wearing a tattered garment, and looking at the pink and blackened color, it looked like a woman's altered clothes.
His hands were as thin as firewood, and his whole person was thin and small.
"Who are you?" Wen Qingzhu let go of his hand and spoke as gently as possible.
The kneeling little boy was shocked, and raised his head sneeringly, with a pair of black eyes, which looked extraordinarily large on his face without a bit of flesh.
His whole face was dirty, and his hair was like a chicken's nest, but between his eyebrowsβ
It's a little similar to Jiang Yue!
The boy was still in a daze, and looked at Wen Qingzhu fixedly, as if he had lost his soul.
