Chapter XVIII: Misidentification
"Yanghou?" The oncoming Xie Zhengzhu's lips opened slightly, her words were slightly surprised, her eyes were full of anticipation, she glanced at Xiao Zhen lightly, the corners of her lips rose slightly, she seemed to be smiling but not smiling, which was unpredictable, and she continued: "Why do you think that the little woman looks very much like the late Xie Da Sima?" ”
Xiao Zhen was already stunned when he saw her contemptuous and disdainful posture, and his sword eyebrows became more and more frowning, looking at her, without saying a word, but there was strangeness in his eyes.
The private room was so quiet for a while that people were stunned, then Huan Ling laughed, got up and said: "Your Highness is afraid that she has recognized the wrong person, this lady is the sister of an old friend of Huan, named Deyin, not Xie Da Sima in His Highness's mouth." ”
After speaking, he said to Xie Zheng: "Deyin, this is His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
When Xie Zheng heard this, he raised his eyes slightly, pretending not to recognize Xiao Zheng, blessed Xiao Zhen slightly, and whispered softly: "The little girl will thank Xie Zheng, I have seen His Highness." ”
"Deyin...... Is it your table? Xiao Zhen frowned and looked at Xie Zheng, his eyes were clearly full of affection.
Xie Zheng replied lightly: "Exactly." ”
Xiao Zheng looked at her without turning his eyes, as if he wanted to see through her whole person, Xie Zheng did not face him, but said: "Deyin Shi has a question, and His Highness has not yet answered." ”
"What's the problem?" Xiao Zhen's thoughts were all disrupted by Xie Zheng, and he couldn't remember what he said or heard.
Xie Zheng deliberately hesitated for a moment, and then said: "His Royal Highness Shicai mistook Deyin for Xie Dasima, could it be that Deyin really looks like her?" ”
"It's a bit similar," Xiao Zhen hesitated as he spoke, looking overwhelmed.
She is not only a little similar to Yanghou, that face, when it is really carved out of a mold, whether it is the face, body shape, or voice, it is the same, even if it is the eyes, they are the same as Yanghou, the only difference is her demeanor, Yanghou has been on the battlefield for a long time, heroic, and does not dare to get close to the power of the mountain, and this woman is delicate, soft and boneless, at a glance, she knows that she is a pampered girl in the boudoir, weak and can't help the wind.
This sign of gratitude is different from her......
But in this world, how can there be two people who look so similar......
"No one has ever said that Deyin looks like Xie Da Sima," Xie Zheng pretended to be strange, and then said: "However, His Royal Highness Su Wen has a great friendship with Xie Da Sima, if even His Royal Highness admits his mistake, then Deyin, wouldn't it be possible to confuse the real with the fake?" ”
When she said this, she laughed wildly, and Huan Ling said softly: "Deyin, you have lost your temper." ”
Seeing her so frivolous, Xiao Zhen frowned, obviously a little unhappy, but he didn't answer, but said with a straight face: "There are still some things on my hands, so I will stay soon, county marquis, thank you for your hospitality today, and say goodbye." ”
After he finished speaking, he didn't wait for Huan Ling and Xie Zheng to respond, he turned around to leave immediately, but he deliberately tested Xie Zheng, and secretly loosened the jade jue hanging from his waist, and when he raised his feet and stepped out of the door, Yu Jue fell to the ground suddenly, and the crisp sound broke the silence in the guest hall, Xiao Zhen stopped, looked back and looked down at Yu Jue who had broken in half on the ground, pretending to be shocked.
Xie Zheng knew his thoughts, so he complied with his wishes, stepped forward to pick up the broken jade on the ground, and handed it to Xiao Zhen, Xiao Zheng took this opportunity to observe her hands, delicate as green onions, smooth as jade, really ten fingers do not touch the spring water, it is completely everyone's beautiful hands, and Xie Yu's hands are mostly calluses because of perennial sword practice, these two hands are completely different.
By now, the last vestiges of illusion he had about Xie Zheng had been wiped out, perhaps, he shouldn't have been so delusional, just think, how can people come back to life after death......
Xiao Zhen thought for a long time, before he came back to his senses, and when he took the broken jade, Xie Zheng said pointedly: "The broken jade is unlucky, according to the rumors, His Royal Highness may have a disaster recently, however, some people say that the broken jade is to prevent the disaster for the master." ”
"What do you mean?" Xiao Zhen didn't believe these unwarranted statements, but now it was an extraordinary period, not to mention that Xie Zheng had something to say, and he was quite concerned, so he instinctively asked, Xie Zheng didn't shy away from it, laughed at first, and asked, "What do you mean?" Then he said bluntly: "Three years ago, Xie Da Sima died unjustly, His Royal Highness turned against His Majesty for this, and was demoted to Liang County to guard the bitter cold land in the north, with His Majesty's temper, His Royal Highness should not have returned to Beijing, all because of the intercession of the eldest princess, His Royal Highness can come back." But now that the situation is turbulent, the King of Linchuan and the King of Wuling are vying for the position of the prince, it is a critical juncture, but at this time, His Royal Highness has returned, which has undoubtedly become a stumbling block for them. ”
Huan Ling pretended to be frightened and reprimanded: "Deyin! Don't talk nonsense! ”
Immediately afterwards, he pleaded guilty to Xiao Zhen and said: "Your Highness forgives your sins, Deyin is talking about the government in vain, it is really a gaffe, not intentional." ”
Xie Zheng cooperated with Huan Ling, sneered when he heard the words, and then laughed at himself: "Deyin was born in a small family, and he doesn't know the etiquette, so his words and deeds are naturally rude. ”
After she finished speaking, she turned around unhurriedly and went against Xiao Zhen, Xiao Zhen never blamed, and only then did she speak, but she also sneered, and said: "Xie Niangzi is very smart and knows a lot." ”
These words were clearly doubting Xie Zheng's identity, Xie Zheng naturally heard it, and it was said that she should be a little uneasy, but she was very relieved in her heart, and she chuckled: "Deyin is not talented, and the fallacy of Shicai is just hearsay, Your Highness must not pay attention." ”
"You've said this, and Lone has heard it word for word, how can you not pay attention?" Xiao Zhen also had something to say, he said this, paused for a while, and then continued: "What's more, what Xie Niangzi said does have some truth. ”
Not only is there a bit of truth, what Xie Zheng said, every word is like a sharp sword, mercilessly poking at his heart, Xiao Zhen feels desolate, Xie Zheng is right, today's court has no place for him to stand!
"Farewell!" Xiao Zhen dropped the short word, turned around immediately, and left without looking back, Huan Ling walked to the door unhurriedly, and said leisurely: "Your Highness go slowly." ”
He raised his eyes and saw that Xiao Zhen had gone away, so he turned around and asked Xie Zheng, "Do you intend to make him suspicious?" He had already seen through Xie Zheng's thoughts, and with her intelligence, she would never be stupid enough to say those words to arouse Xiao Zheng's suspicions, unless she intended to do so.
"You also know that he is suspicious by nature, he is already suspicious when he comes today, if I deliberately hide it, it will definitely backfire, why not be casual?"
Huan Ling was clear, bowed slightly, and did not speak.
Xie Zheng glanced at him, and then left.
