That night, Zhiying borrowed to live in Chengfu, Xiao Shujin also grew up a lot, still remembered her, so he pestered her to play with him, and played until it was dark and sleepy before he was carried by the nurse to rest, Zhiying was finally free, and after saying hello to the housekeeper, he went to the small courtyard where Xiaojingxuan and Cheng Fengyi lived before leaving the pavilion.

The night sky is like ink, the broken moon wheel hangs obliquely, Zhiying walks slowly up to the water pavilion with a lantern, this is the place where she used to come to talk to Cheng Fengyi every time, in the afternoon on a sunny and warm day, the maid lit a pillar of sandalwood, she copied the prescription on the desk, Cheng Fengyi leaned on the beauty to read a book or be a female celebrity, the two casually chatted about the trivial things around them, or the truth in the book, quite fun.

Now that the times have changed, things are wrong, Zhiying has become a down-and-out princess, and Cheng Fengyi is even more far away, and I don't know what kind of suffering I have endured. The warm and cold wind blew the lantern swaying, and she saw her lazily leaning on the beauty leaning on the leaning of the beauty and smiling at herself.

"Princess? Haven't rested so late? Zhai Rang's voice shattered the illusion, and Zhiying turned his head to see that he was walking down the corridor.

Zhi Ying owed a little: "Brother Zhai is back." I'm not sleepy yet, I just want to come here and have a look. ”

Zhai Rang walked up to the water pavilion, propped his hands on the beauty, looked at the dark water surface attentively, and said: "I used to come to this place often, but then I slowly didn't dare to come, and after I came, I couldn't sleep that night." ”

"Why don't you dare to come?" Zhi Ying asked.

Zhai Rang smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "The more I miss the past, the more I will feel that I will never see her again for the rest of my life." ”

Zhiying silently lowered his eyes, Zhai Rang sighed, full of guilt and powerlessness: "It is said that useless is a scholar, if I can have half of the ability of the prince, how can I let my wife be easily taken away by another man." After Fengyi left, my father-in-law's body was not as good as day by day, and Jin'er often had convulsions in the middle of the night, so I invited a Taoist priest to do it, and they all said that they were sick with thoughts, and every time at this time, I would hate myself for being useless. ”

"You've done a great job!" Zhiying immediately shouted, "Mr. said that you haven't even wielded a hoe much in your hometown, but you want to compete with Huerhana, and you have done your best." ”

Zhai Rang smiled bitterly twice, and did not take her comforting words to heart: "I wanted to leave the capital with my father-in-law and Jin'er, and not look at the sympathetic eyes of the people around me, but...... The emperor personally came to the door to apologize, saying that he would send troops to attack Changyao in his lifetime, and then bring Fengyi back, but after discussing with my father-in-law, I decided to stay. ”

Seeing his disapproving appearance, Zhiying let go and said: "Sister Cheng's being taken away is a conspiracy, the inner guards are not unable to beat him, but deliberately pretend that they can't beat him, the emperor and Hu'er Hana secretly have an agreement, and they will definitely hand over Sister Cheng!" ”

Zhai made Huo Ran surprised: "What did you say?" ”

Zhiying clenched her fists and said in a firm tone: "The prince received your letter, and that night he led people all the way south, searched separately, and intercepted Huerhana's team in the middle of the road. If you are the emperor, sacrifice a woman who has nothing to do with you in exchange for a few years of peace in Guannai, such a cheap deal, will you let it go? ”

Zhai Rang turned his back to the moonlight, but Zhiying could still see that the expression on his face was almost like seeing a landslide, his eyes were about to fall out, his face twitched uncontrollably, and he wanted to open his mouth to speak several times, but he didn't make a sound.

"Sister Cheng and I have a personal relationship, and Cheng Lao is a secretary of the ministry, the emperor must be very jealous in his heart," Zhiying softened his tone and continued, "I think Cheng Lao is probably also clear in his heart, so after the death of the first emperor, he resigned and did not do it, in order to avoid this whirlpool, but unfortunately people in the living world, many things are often involuntarily, as long as Huer Hana proposes a dignitary, the emperor has no reason to refuse." ”

Zhai Rang didn't know what expression to use to face this matter: "This ......"

Zhiying looked sad: "Do you really think that the emperor will send troops to attack Changyao for Sister Cheng?" He won't, he doesn't even take his own woman seriously, how can he care about Sister Cheng's life and death. ”

Zhai Rang was silent, and Zhiying was afraid that he would overdo it, so he stopped and waited quietly for him to respond.

In fact, when Zhai Rang returned to Cheng's mansion, he didn't send a maid to invite her over, but came to Xiaojingxuan by himself, which was already very suspicious, if Zhai Rang really wanted to help him, no matter what news he heard, or what he didn't hear, he would want to tell himself immediately, instead of running to her to complain.

And what scares Zhiying even more is his expectations for Cui Jie! Cui Jie said that he would send troops to Chang Yao, so Zhai Rang endured the strange eyes of the people around him, stayed in the capital and waited for that day, if he helped Zhiying at this time, he offended Cui Jie for this, not to mention that Cheng Fengyi couldn't come back, himself, as well as Cheng Hu and Xiao Shujin, all had the possibility of dying.

Although the agreement between Cui Jie and Huer Hana is just a speculation of Shan Jian, the current situation is not allowed to hold Ying and be kind, once Zhai Rang falls to Cui Jie, then she is like a sheep sent into the tiger's mouth, and there will be no day to go out.

I had to cheat, and I said sorry to Cheng Fengyi in my heart.

After a long while, Zhai Rangcai took a deep breath, looked up at the night, and said in a trembling voice: "I heard...... Tiger Benguan Victory...... When I thought you didn't save her, my father-in-law asked me not to write to you...... I'm not willing to let go of the last line...... Hopefully, seeing her being taken away, although I also know that when the prince leaves Yanzhou, the Beidi people will definitely take advantage of the situation, and when the time comes, there will be no eggs under the nest, and everyone will die, but I still ...... Or ......"

He slapped his hand on the wooden fence in pain, let out a sob, and buried his head deeply.

Zhiying felt uncomfortable too, so she persuaded: "I understand your feelings, when I received the letter, I and the prince also hesitated, but the prince finally went." ”

Zhai Rang cried bitterly: "I'm sorry...... Sorry ......"

His word of sorry suddenly made Zhiying feel ominous, and he took two steps back: "You ......"

At this moment, a large group of people poured in outside the door of Xiao Jingxuan, led by a man and a woman, the moonlight shone on their gray sideburns and deep nasolabial folds, but the familiar faces only made Zhiying feel cold in his heart.

It was the eldest grandson Tai and his wife Fan, her biological parents.

They didn't know how long they had been hiding outside the door, but Fan Shi opened his mouth in an anxious tone: "Ying'er! Come to my mother! But Zhiying retreated more and more, and the anger of betrayal swayed her judgment, and she didn't stop until her back hit the pillar.

The eldest grandson Tai held one hand in front of him, and his voice revealed a thin feeling: "Ying'er, since you have returned to the capital, why don't you go home?" ”

"Home?" Zhiying repeated blankly, "Which home to go back to?" King Wu's Mansion has long been copied completely, and half of the carriages out of the city have been detained, Lord Changsun, where is my home in this capital? ”

The eldest grandson Tai was suddenly furious: "Bastard! Listen to what you're talking about! Isn't the Changsun Mansion your home? Your parents raised you with flesh and blood, and when you get married, you don't even want your father and mother, and your family doesn't recognize you? ”

Fan also said on the side: "That's it, Ying'er, home will always be home, how can your father harm you?" You are suffering outside, and your father and mother are also distressed! ”

Zhiying suddenly felt ridiculous - distressed? Do you really feel sorry for me? I feel sorry for me as a man who helps my brother-in-law calculate me, and after raiding the house, I will starve to death halfway, respectively, for more than a year, without a greeting or a little care, but now, as soon as I heard that I was back, I came to arrest people overnight, this is the so-called distress?

She swept it at a cursory glance, and there were more than a dozen family members who poured into the door, I don't know how many were outside the door, I was a deep boudoir woman, not to mention the cornices and walls, and I might not be able to escape over the wall if I gave a ladder, since it was Zhai Rang's intention to betray, now Cheng Fu must have been surrounded by groups, and it is impossible for me to escape.

"You ......" knew that it was impossible to escape, but Zhiying calmed down, "What are you going to do after you capture me back?" Give it to the emperor and use it to force the prince to submit? Or do you want me to write a letter as well and trick the prince into the city? Or, kill with a knife and show the loyalty of the eldest grandson's family to the emperor? ”

The eldest grandson Tai kept his old face and didn't speak, and Zhiying sneered, understanding what he said, most of them had thought about it.

"Silly boy, how can you think so much about your father and mother? Although Ling Fang is the queen and you are the princess, it is impossible for our family to step on two boats, but the palms and backs of these hands are full of meat! How can my father and mother bear to let you suffer? Fan pressed his hands to his chest and persuaded bitterly.

Seeing that she was still indifferent, as soon as the eldest grandson Tai raised his chin, the family members immediately flocked to the water pavilion and firmly grasped Zhiying, who did not resist at all. When he was escorted away from the water pavilion, Zhiying glanced back at Zhai Rang, who was already on the ground, holding his head in his hands, whimpering quietly, completely embarrassed.

Anyway, this is retribution, Zhiying said to herself, this is the retribution that she deserves for saving Cheng Fengyi, but for the sake of Cui Yi and Yanzhou, she ruthlessly abandoned her sisters.

Returning to the place where he was born and raised, Zhiying was in a trance and had the illusion of being separated from another world, as if rebirth was just an ethereal dream, and he was still the eldest grandson Zhiying who had been deceived all his life and died tragically in the fire.

After the atrium, Changsun Tai ordered: "Take the young lady to rest and serve well." ”

Zhiying's heart jumped, and she seemed to hear some kind of danger from her father's words, but before she could think about it, she was sent back to the house where she lived before leaving the pavilion.

The furnishings in the house were still the same as before, but it was enough for her to miss the night.

The people who came to serve were not the maids who were at the beginning, and they had no intention of leaving after serving her to wash and sleep, one sat in front of her bed, two sat opposite her bed, and two stayed on the Luohan bed outside, who treated her as a prisoner at all. Zhiying felt very ridiculous, if she had taken out this caution when Xie Yuchan was under house arrest in Yanzhou, how could there be more things to do, in the eyes of her father, she was much more dangerous and troublesome than Xie Yuchan in her own eyes.

Hengzhu has been arrested, and it's useless to think about it more, what kind of fate will he have tomorrow morning. Zhiying shrugged, didn't bother to care about them, turned over and fell asleep.
