Chapter 38: Identity Exposed
Fang Yuan sighed secretly, this big box was indeed too conspicuous, no wonder it would attract the attention of the princess.
He hesitated to continue to pretend to be deaf and dumb, but it was reasonable for the little eunuch to be deaf and dumb, after all, it would not affect the chores, and the Jinyi Guard would be a full-time inspector of hundreds of officials, and it would be unbelievable to be deaf and dumb.
It seems that the deaf and dumb drama can't be performed today, Fang Yuan hurriedly lowered his head, and truthfully reported to his home, "Princess, I am Fang Yuan, the chief banner of Jinyi Wei, and this box is what His Majesty wants." ”
Princess Kunxing looked him up and down, and compared her height with his hand, and suddenly became suspicious, "Fang Yuan, raise your head and let me take a look." ”
If Princess Kunxing wants to see her true face, then she will not be caught on the spot, Fang Yuan was so frightened that cold sweat oozed from his vest, and he hurriedly said perfunctorily, "I am a foreign minister, Princess Tangtu Tianyan, and I deserve death for my crime." ”
Princess Kunxing was obviously suspicious of him, and didn't pay attention to his perfunctory at all, crossed her waist and said, "Don't shirk, look up immediately, otherwise it is the real crime that deserves death." ”
"Die or die!"
Fang Yuan was forced to be helpless, gritted his teeth, raised his head, and met Princess Kunxing's watery eyes.
The two of them looked at each other, and Princess Kunxing recognized him at a glance as the deaf and dumb eunuch of that day, and Hua Rong suddenly darkened, and said in a deep voice, "I feel familiar, it turns out to be really you!" ”
Fang Yuan had to admire Princess Kunxing's sixth sense of woman, sighed secretly, and admitted that entering Yonghe Palace that day was a big crime of killing her head, and today she only had to admit that she would die to deny it, the so-called confession and leniency, sit in prison, resist strictly, and go home for the New Year, that's the reason.
Fang Yuan pretended to be stupid and asked, "Have I seen the princess?" The princess is afraid that she has recognized the wrong person. ”
Princess Kunxing raised her slender jade arm and shook the high-imitation Rolex watch on her wrist that never left her body at any time, "Don't pretend to be garlic, you don't know me, you should always know this." ”
Fang Yuan pretended to be stunned and said, "This is?" Forgive my clumsiness, I really can't see the calendar. ”
Seeing that he was still denying, Princess Kunxing angrily tugged at the sleeve of his brocade guard and said, "Wow! Dare to deny it, then follow me to see my father, I want to expose you who will disguise the brocade guards for a while, and the eunuchs who will disguise the harem for a while, I see that you are messing with the harem! ”
In the Qianqing Palace, Tian Guifei was interceding for Fang Yuan, if Princess Kunxing went to the door to complain like this, it corresponded to Tian Guifei's statement, which just confirmed the charge that Fang Yuan and Tian Guifei had private collusion behind their backs.
"Messing up the harem is to cuckold Chongzhen, which is estimated to be a capital crime of Ling Chi's execution."
Only then did Fang Yuan know that resisting strictness would not work in this ancient society without human rights, and even in the civilized society before the crossing, if he went back ten years, he could be killed by drinking water and hiding at any time.
He put on such a princess who likes to be more serious, but is bored and wandering around in the palace, he really wants to cry without tears, so he can only admit his guilt and admit defeat, "Princess, I admit defeat, I am the deaf and dumb eunuch that day." ”
When Princess Kunxing saw that he had honestly confessed his guilt, she showed a smile from the victor of her youngest daughter's family, and said with a smile, "Finally confessed?" I see you still dare to deny it! ”
Fang Yuan couldn't help but laugh and said, "Please be kind to the princess." ”
Princess Kunxing said to the eunuchs and palace maids who followed her, "You are waiting here, and you are not allowed to come without my orders." ”
She is Chongzhen's favorite daughter, although the accompanying eunuchs and palace maids felt that a princess privately saw that the brocade guards did not conform to the royal etiquette, but they still responded together and did not dare to say more.
Princess Kunxing pulled Fang Yuan's sleeve and arrived at the remote place outside the Qianqing Gate, only then did she look at him with wide eyes and scold, "Fang Yuan, do you know what crime you have committed?" ”
"What other sin can there be? Everywhere you go, you can meet a boring princess, which is the biggest original sin. ”
Fang Yuan muttered secretly, but he didn't dare to say it, so he could only put on an honest appearance of admitting punishment and admitting punishment, "Princess, I just accompanied an old man in the palace to meet the concubine Niangniang that day, and I really didn't mess with the harem." ”
Princess Kunxing pouted with a cherry pout, and said angrily, "Fang Yuan, you dare to cover up your heinous crime with a small mistake, it seems that if you don't reason in front of your father, you won't confess honestly." ”
"The filthy harem is to cuckold Chongzhen, which is also a small mistake? So what is a great crime, do you want to frame me for rebelling and becoming emperor? ”
Fang Yuan secretly wondered about this princess's thoughts, could it be that she was instigated by Empress Zhou to frame herself? At this critical juncture, what a fatal blow!
Fang Yuan's vest was already oozing cold sweat, but with the lessons and experience of this time, since Princess Kunxing had a tight mouth, he didn't need to scare himself, pretending to be honest, and humbly asked, "Okay, my crime is extremely heinous, it is simply heinous, and I should be executed immediately, but can the princess let me die clearly, at least give some hints!" ”
Princess Kunxing said angrily, "You deceived my pearl necklace, isn't it a heinous crime?!" ”
"Tricked the princess's necklace?!"
Only then did Fang Yuan remember that it was a pearl necklace she had sent to exchange her watch, and that necklace had been given to Xiao Yuan when she had exchanged her heart at night. It is said that this transaction is a big profit, and the pearl necklace is worth at least tens of thousands of taels, but it was exchanged by Fang Yuan with a watch of dozens of taels.
It turned out that she had been making a fuss for a long time, and even went to Yonghe Palace to find someone, just because of this necklace.
"Could it be that Princess Kunxing regretted it and wanted to take back that valuable pearl necklace?"
Fang Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, and asked in amazement, "I remember!" It was the princess who voluntarily exchanged the pearl necklace for my watch, you love me, Tong Su is not deceived, why did you deceive the princess? If the princess is not willing to exchange it, I will return the necklace to the princess. ”
Princess Kunxing opened the brocade dress again, revealing a white and flawless jade arm, as well as a glittering high-imitation Rolex watch on her wrist, and shook it in front of Fang Yuan, "This little clock you gave me is a fake, and I won't leave after two days, do you think it's a lie?" You're a traitor! ”
Fang Yuan was scolded by her like a cannonball, and only then did he figure out the ins and outs, this high-imitation Rolex watch is a fully automatic mechanical watch, which needs to be wound, and it must be wound once every two to three days, otherwise it will not be timed.
Where did Princess Kunxing know how to use this modern watch, and she didn't tell her that day when she was deaf and dumb, she thought that the watch was broken, and she was fooled by Fang Yuan with a fake.
Fang Yuan's heart was completely down, and he thought that Princess Kunxing was instructed by Empress Zhou to charge herself with a filthy harem, but unexpectedly it was because of such a trivial thing as the watch not winding.
He was secretly funny, he was too sensitive before, this princess Kunxing is really not a scheming, she is just a princess of the deep palace who doesn't pay much attention, it's just that she didn't keep up with her brain circuits, and said with a smile, "So that's the case, princess, it's so easy to make the watch continue to go, you give it to me first." ”
Princess Kunxing gave the watch to Fang Yuan in disbelief, and said, "Don't lie to me again, otherwise, hum!" ”
Emperor Chongzhen and Concubine Tian had been chatting for nearly half an hour, and they might summon Fang Yuan at any time, Fang Yuan was eager to send this princess away immediately, so he hurriedly took over the high-imitation watch and twisted the clockwork for twenty turns.
"Tick Tick"
The hands of the watch are moving again.
Fang Yuan handed the watch to Princess Kunxing and said, "I really didn't lie to you, now I can time it again!" ”
Seeing that the time on the watch was different from the time of the palace self-striking bell, Princess Kunxing asked, "How to adjust the hour of the watch to the same time as the time of the self-striking clock?" ”
Adjusting the time requires a more complicated operation, Fang Yuan couldn't teach this princess for a while, so he said, "I'm waiting for Your Majesty to summon you, and when I see Your Majesty, I'll teach the princess how to play with this watch." ”
Princess Kunxing is an anxious child, where can he wait for him to go to see Emperor Chongzhen, and was about to entangle again, but he heard the little eunuch of the Qianqing Palace step up to the two of them, and said sharply, "Jinyi Wei Zongqi, Fang Yuan, Your Majesty ordered you to enter the palace immediately." ”
