Chapter 790: Conscience is not clear
Chapter 790: Conscience is not clear
It's like a big change.
But in the blink of an eye, Xiao Zining in front of him changed his face.
The corners of the eyebrows and eyes are slightly deep, and you can see a little bit of the Xiao family's appearance from this face.
Xiao Ying thought to herself, this feeling is finally right, and there is no longer that awkward sense of disobedience. This is what the real Xiao Zining should look like.
"That's right. This is the face that the Xiao family should have. Your original face ......" Prince Xiao opened his mouth, but he felt that this sound so awkward.
It doesn't matter, he doesn't say it or is unhappy, whether it is right or not. "Your original face is a little white face at first glance. It's really not presentable. ”
Xiao Zining really didn't know what to put on for a while. can only keep a cold face and let Prince Xiao San judge. "You kid is stubborn too. I couldn't say anything in my heart, so I shrunk my head and tail and pondered it myself. Fortunately, Changning was clever and explained those suspicious points in one word. That's when you lifted the fake skin on your face.
If you suspect that your father has harmed your mother, you should stand up and question your father loudly. Let him say for himself that he is ugly. Rather than listening to biased beliefs...... In short, your child's temperament is really not atmospheric. ”
"Third brother, shut up. Let Changning speak. The fourth prince Xiao couldn't bear it anymore, and finally reprimanded him lightly.
Prince Xiao San is a noisy person, but he is not very bold.
When he heard this, he immediately shut up.
"Zining. Just like Changning said, some things may not be true when you see them, let alone hear them. What you suspect, when you return to the Xiao family, the Fourth Emperor Uncle will definitely help you find out. But for now, it is important to settle the Tongguan case first. You also heard Changning say, thousands of people. That's thousands of living people......"
Xiao Zining didn't open his mouth when he heard this.
But in addition to the mask on his face, he is already very revealing. In the end, Xiao Zining finally opened his mouth in everyone's attention. "I want to meet Han Xi."
Xiao Ying and Feng Ge glanced at each other.
Feng Ge opened his mouth in response. "Okay."
I didn't ask the reason and directly agreed. Xiao Zining probably didn't expect Feng Ge to agree so happily, and couldn't help but look up at Feng Ge violently. "You have to let Brother Zining confront Han Xi, so that the elder brother can finally make a decision. When does my brother want to see Han Xi? Xiao Ying chuckled and opened her mouth to solve Xiao Zining's doubts.
"Now."
"Han Xi is locked up in the palace, if Brother Zining believes me, I will arrange to take my brother into the palace immediately."
Xiao Zining nodded. At this point, it seems that believing it or not can't change anything. Trust is a precious quality, but who else can he trust now? He had to judge for himself.
Seeing Xiao Zining nodding.
Feng Ge summoned Feng Yi and stepped forward, and whispered a few words.
Soon, the group quietly got into the carriage and headed for the palace.
Han Xi was sent to a side hall.
There is food and drink, and the treatment is not bad, after all, they are the princes of a country, Feng Ge and Xiao Ying are not so stingy that they treat each other mean.
Outside the palace gate, Feng Ge and others stopped. "Han Xi is in the palace, and Brother Zining is at his own convenience."
Xiao Zining exhaled lightly, stepped up the stone steps, and then slowly pushed open the door of the hall.
Feng Ge saw Xiao Zining enter the main hall, and with a faint expression, he led the three Xiao brothers and Xiao Ying to the side and entered the main hall.
The main hall and the side hall are actually on the opposite side, with a virtual wall in between. This land was built to facilitate the monitoring of criminals. So it's very convenient to listen to a corner. And some means were deliberately used when it was built. So the corners not only sound calm, but there are also tables and chairs for people to rest.
Everyone sat down, and Xiao Nei served the new tea.
At this time, Xiao Zining finally spoke. "I haven't seen this face for a long time, and I'm not surprised if you see it......"
"What's so surprising, I guessed it a long time ago. My identity was revealed, and I didn't have time to send you a message...... You must go back to Xiao's house for me as agreed. It's just a bit of a surprise...... You came to see me so quickly? "The two voices are really imaginary at first glance, but you can still hear some differences when you listen closely.
Han Xi's voice has always been polite, even if his identity is revealed, he will not be angry.
Or slowly speak. Compared with this, Xiao Zining's voice was a little angry.
In terms of self-cultivation, after all, it is not as good as the prince of Qiguo, who has been immersed in power since childhood. "Back then, we met by accident. You told me about your origins. You say we're all sick. Han Xi, is this acquaintance really the fate you said? Still is...... Do you do it on purpose? "What answer would you like to hear?" Zining, no matter what I say, you actually already have the answer in your heart. If you already have a preconceived idea, why do you bother to ask me? ”
"Of course I want to ask you. For so many years, I have treated you as a brother and a close friend. As long as you open your mouth, I will do nothing. You said you wanted me to leave you a way out, so I started putting a fake face over my face. I hid it from everyone, I used to think that you and I were the two closest in the world, and although we were not brothers, we were closer than brothers. We know each other's secrets, and we share each other's secrets. But you never told me...... All of this is your painstaking arrangement. ”
A little boy, full of gloom.
Occasionally, people of the same age think that they are connected with the same disease. So no matter what the other party says, he nods.
I used to think it was an arrangement of fate.
It was God's mercy that allowed him to have such a chance encounter with him.
They said to do each other's retreat. So he had to share a face, he was the prince of Qiguo, and it was cheaper to act, so he put on a human skin mask.
But it all came to naught. Everything was fake, and even my grandfather might have been deceived before he would dig up a grave and examine the body. Doesn't it mean that as early as more than ten years ago, there was a monstrous net that encompassed him.
It's hard to think about.
"Fate? I don't believe in fate. Zining, I've treated you well all these years, right? Never done anything to hurt you, did you? ”
"Yes." Xiao Zining admitted that Han Xi had not hurt him. But isn't deception harmful? "Then what are you angry about? I came to Fengjing in your name this time, and what I want to do has nothing to do with you, and I will never pull you in. It's just that fate is not only not helping me, but it is also a sideline. I didn't expect that your sister Changning would find my old acquaintance. The identity is recognized, and it cannot be refuted. ”
"Back then...... Has your father ever been to Tongguan? ”
Han Xi smiled. The sound reached the ears of Xiao Ying and the others through the thin wooden wall.
Xiao Ying's face was slightly gloomy, and the expression on her face became more and more solemn. Han Xi was very proud, and proud people disdained to lie.
Unless he doesn't speak, when he does, he will naturally tell the truth. "You might as well ask me directly, whether the Tongguan case was secretly arranged by my father." "Was the Tongguan case related to the Han family?"
"Zining changed so quickly, one moment we were still close friends, and the next moment you and your sister Changning came to question me. I really underestimated this little queen. ”
Xiao Zining didn't respond for a while.
"yes. We all underestimated Changning. But it doesn't matter, my mother died of illness that year...... My grandfather suspected that my mother had been killed by my father, so he secretly went to open the coffin at night to examine the body. I told you all this without reservation. What I want to ask now is, why did my grandfather insist on going to examine my mother's body? Who misled him? ”
This was followed by a longer period of silence.
"It's all old, and since anyone wants to know, it doesn't hurt to say it. Left and right, I am defeated, and the ugly ones that are ugly and the beautiful ones are defeated. Since you're going to tell a story, let's get together and listen to it. also saved Zining from relaying it later. ”
Xiao Ying and Feng Ge glanced at each other.
This Han Xi is really a difficult opponent. This time they were able to identify his identity, and it was really as Han Xi said, it was his bad luck. If it weren't for her people who saved Du Jing'er by chance, no matter what this Han Xi wanted, I'm afraid he would have got his wish.
Time also, life also.
In the end, the location was arranged on the wooden building at the edge of the garden.
The reception banquet of the three Xiao brothers was also arranged here. It's a revisit, everyone is in a different mood. Han Xi temporarily regained his freedom, he shook his arms, looked at the crowd with a smile, and finally looked at Feng Ge and Xiao Ying.
"I really underestimated Emperor Feng, Emperor Feng is really young and old, and the city is deeply amazed. I thought that Emperor Feng would only be ruthless, and he only knew how to act blindly. But it turned out to be ...... So thoughtful. Coupled with the carefulness of Queen Changning, the two are really strong and invincible. ”
"False praise." Feng Ge didn't raise his eyes, and tasted tea by himself.
Xiao Ying smiled, indicating that she accepted the compliment. Han Xi was stunned, feeling that he had little chance of winning against these two. One can still support it, and if these two join forces, he may not be able to fight.
"Let's get started." Xiao Ying leaned sideways and picked up the snacks on the table.
She's been whetting up a bit lately, and Shi He told her to eat smaller and more often, so no matter where she is, she gets used to having a little snack at hand.
Xiao Ying looked like she was listening to the play.
Xiao Tea sipped, small snacks chewed, blinked a pair of big eyes and looked at Han Xi, as if asking him why he didn't open yet? Han Xi cursed in his heart. Obviously, they needed him to speak, and he should have the upper hand, but he fell behind unconsciously.
They should have begged him to speak.
Instead, it became as if he was in a hurry to tell a story.
But I can't get this game back. "I know you've been investigating the old Tongguan case recently. The culprit in this case is your Emperor Geng. This opening statement is intended to be provocative.
Han Xi's eyes looked at Feng Ge as he said this.
He's talking about his late father. He thought that Feng Ge would be angry and make a move. However, Feng Ge just raised his eyelids lightly, glanced at him with a smile, and then turned sideways to ask Xiao Ying on the side. Ask her if the child is making trouble, and if she wants to eat anything else. Xiao Ying seemed to whisper something, Feng Ge nodded, raised his hand and beckoned the waiter to step forward, and in front of Han Xi, he did not shy away from ordering a few dim sum for the dining room to do.
Han Xi: "......" can you respect the captives?
Can you listen carefully to his story, and occasionally cooperate, it should liven up the atmosphere.
He tells stories alone, which is quite boring.
After giving the order, Feng Ge raised his eyebrows, as if he was asking Han Qi why he hadn't started yet. Han Xi: "......" How could he let himself fall into such a situation! Can he choose to be a hard bone!
The provocation failed, and he slandered Feng Ge in his heart that he was really distracted, but Han Xi still opened his mouth.
"The past I talked about with Zining is not a lie. My mother is soft-natured and is bullied in the palace. My father has always ignored the affairs of the harem. Even if he knew that someone was blatantly bullying my mother, he wouldn't care. In his opinion, whether it is a woman or a child, if she wants to live, she has to rely on herself, if a woman is blindly weak, she is not worthy of living in this world.
So I learned a truth when I was very young.
If you want something, you will fight for it, and pie will never fall from the sky.
At first, my mother would hug me and cry together, saying how pitiful she was. I didn't respond every time, and over time, my mother felt that the reason why she was bullied was because of me, and if I were a daughter, her life would be better. Han Xi smiled self-deprecatingly.
Xiao Ying couldn't help but look at Feng Ge.
In some places, Feng Ge and this Han Xicai are really connected to the same disease.
"I grew estranged from her. Whenever there is anything difficult to do, I will recommend myself. My father also used to give me things that no one liked to do. In his opinion, I am the most like him. He is the only one who knows a lot of what I do. So I've always been inconspicuous in Qiguo. It was the sweetness that my mother tasted, and she felt that the farther away I was from her, the more comfortable her life would be.
What do I say this! Laugh for nothing. Han Xi actually didn't know why he was talking about this.
These are the secrets he buried in the bottom of his heart.
It's his secrecy that doesn't come to outsiders. But today he couldn't help but open his mouth. Perhaps, those things he has done secretly over the years, he thought that God did not know the ghosts, but God remembered them for him one by one.
He lost Du Jing'er.
The Du family has been loyal for generations, and he is not unaware. It is Emperor Qi's wish to take back the talisman, and he can only do it with his conscience.
Looking back now, in fact, the time I spent with Du Jinger was really good. Du Jinger has good looks and a good temperament, and is wholeheartedly devoted to him. Occasionally, he would wonder if his life would have been very different if he hadn't exhausted his means, but really married Du Jing'er.
But it was too late.
He took her off. Not only minus her. He also ruthlessly ran away and left Qiguo.
He knew that Du Jing'er was looking for him.
also knew that Du Jinger had endured all the hardships in order to find him. He was still unmoved, nothing in this world could shake him, and he once thought that he was unintentional.
But when he saw Du Jing'er again this time, his heart suddenly jumped violently. He looked at her, unable to say a word of rebuttal in the face of her accusations.
No matter how vicious a person is, there will be an occasional moment of conscience discovery. Xiao Zining then heard the appearance, which made Han Xi suddenly feel that the dust had settled. He suddenly lost the heart to fight again. "This trip to Fengjing can be regarded as a reward given to me by my father. Reward me for all these years of doing for him in secret...... Zining asked, does the matter of Tongguan have anything to do with Qiguo......"
