Chapter 23: Joining forces
Li Li, who had been half-kneeling on the ground, raised his head and noticed that Huai Zui's hand was secretly groping, he got up instantly, and the long sword was unsheathed and rested on Huai Zui's neck.
"What do you want to do!" He scolded.
Huai Zui's face did not change, and he raised his hand generously, and the hairband fell from his hand.
"Isn't this the stuff of those beggars in Chengxi Hutong!" Yue Jin was startled.
Huai Zui nodded and asked, "How do you know?" ”
Yue Jin didn't even think about it and replied: "Oh, just the night I met you......"
Seeing that Xiao Yongqing's brows were getting tighter and tighter, Su Nian hurriedly coughed a few times to remind.
"It's really fun to go out at night." Xiao Yongqing looked at Yue Jin with a smile.
Yue Jin avoided his gaze and thought about how to answer.
Xiao Yongqing snorted coldly, turned his head to Li Li and ordered, "Send Han'er back to Princess Qinghe's mansion." ”
Xiao Hanxi saw that the excitement was on the rise, and when she heard him say this, she was not happy, and said, "Brother Huang, I don't want to go back......"
Before she finished speaking, Su Nian patted her arm next to her to signal her to be obedient.
She looked at Li Li with her eyes open again.
Li Li had already sensed that the wind of the topic was not quite right, and I was afraid that outsiders like him should not listen to it, so he saluted Xiao Hanxi and said apologetically: "Your Royal Highness Princess, please." ”
Subsequently, Xiao Yongqing dismissed all his subordinates, and there were only four people left in the house.
Xiao Yongqing walked to the table and sat down, took the tea cup handed to him by Su Nian and took a sip, and said, "What are you doing when you go out of the house at night?" ”
"I was supposed to go out during the day, but when I got lost, I ......"
"Really?" Xiao Yongqing put down the teacup, "Then why did the king hear that the crown princess had a private meeting with someone in the old city building?" ”
Hearing this, Yue Jin, who had just sat down, couldn't help but shudder, and instinctively shrank back.
Unexpectedly, she forgot that the bench had no backrest, and her center of gravity was unstable and fell to the ground.
Xiao Yongqing looked down at her condescendingly: "You'd better not play tricks in front of this king, otherwise Lord Yama won't dare to accept you." ”
In Yue Jin's opinion, there are two kinds of people in this world who cannot be messed with, one is strict with oneself, and the other is to do what he says, and Xiao Yongqing accounts for two points at the same time.
"Bai Chen, don't listen to other people's nonsense, that person is my ......," Huai said drunk.
"Heh, Huai drunk." Xiao Yongqing sneered, "You are really good at it, and the idea is to hit this king." ”
"It was a complete misunderstanding, I can explain it."
"Oh, so why are you outside during curfew? I can't explain it, but this king will punish you. ”
"Aren't I hungry for a drink......
The words he said were already in the water, knowing that he couldn't escape, Yue Jin's heart was extraordinarily calm, and she stood up and said respectfully:
"His Royal Highness the Prince, I am the one who left the house without permission, I am the one who deceived and patrolled, and I am the one who did not return all night. None of this has anything to do with others, and what punishment is borne by me Yuejin alone. ”
She is not afraid of death, but she is afraid of affecting others, and she is even more afraid of watching others die because of her.
"You care about him?"
"No, at least he can listen to me."
"Are you accusing the king?"
"Don't dare."
"You're so daring!" Xiao Yongqing slammed his fist on the table, "Do you know what your identity is now?" ”
"Yongqing ......" Su Nian gently tugged at his sleeve.
Why do you have to pull him up? Huai Zui hugged his arms and retreated to the side, and now he didn't know how to persuade him if he wanted to.
"You are the crown princess, your every move is under the noses of others, is your goal of pulling the prince's mansion into the water has been achieved?"
"Xiao Yuanxun, since you are so aggrieved, then you can leave me now!"
Xiao Yongqing didn't speak, staring at Yue Jin coldly.
When it comes to this level, Yue Jin has nothing to be afraid of: "I don't know what you're angry about, some words are simply put on the bright side today." ”
After a pause, she continued: "Although I want to marry you with a dead face, I am not angry at all if you look down on me. You know why?
"Su Nian asked several times before, and my answer was the same, because that's the reason."
Xiao Yongqing cast an inquiring glance at Su Nian, and Su Nian hesitated and squeezed out a few words: "She said it was because of my father." ”
"What do you mean?" Xiao Yongqing frowned.
"I once promised a man to protect his daughter." Yue Jin picked up the teapot on the table, and under the gaze of the two of them, she raised her head and took two big sips.
Shhhh
The hot tea made her tongue numb, and she slowly spit out the second half of the sentence: "That person's name is Su Yu, Su Yu, the king of Pingyuan, my sweetheart." ”
The wind blows slowly through the window, and the crystal clear curtain beads reflect a dazzling halo in the sunlight.
There were bursts of singing and piano sounds downstairs, and the room seemed eerily quiet.
The four of them, each with their own thoughts, looked at each other speechlessly, and each wanted to break the awkward atmosphere, but none of them knew how to speak.
Huai drunk cleared his throat and said to Xiao Yongqing: "So, the current situation is that she married you because she fell in love with your concubine's father. ”
Xiao Yongqing also found this matter incomprehensible.
"Doesn't that have nothing to do with you? What are you angry about? ”
"I can't say it's okay." Su Nian said, "Yongqing still wants to save face, right?" If the news of the princess meeting privately with someone at night spreads, it will be disgraceful. ”
"Brother and sister, believe me, Bai Chen's anger is definitely not the reason." Huai drunk roughly sorted out his thoughts, and he was a little happy in his heart.
Xiao Yongqing sighed and said, "Shang Yushi handed his father a fold over there, saying that the Prince's Mansion harbored Beili spies and intended to rebel. ”
"Rebellion?" Huai drunk laughed wantonly, "What do you need to rebel against, in the end, this throne will not be handed over to you." ”
Seeing Xiao Yongqing looking at him without a smile, he suddenly stopped laughing and asked, "Your Majesty won't believe it, will you?" ”
"It's hard to say, during this time, Mr. Lin was on vacation while sick, and most of the wind in the court fell to one side. The three of them became tigers, and the father was probably already suspicious. ”
"Isn't it good for you to discuss this kind of thing here, in case someone hears it......" Yue Jin couldn't help but shudder when she thought of Xiao Yongqing's extermination in Heyuan.
"Don't be afraid." Su Nian turned over the ornaments on the table, pointed to the words "Chu Ji" on it, and said, "This building is my mother's asset." ”
Huai Zui noticed that Xiao Yongqing's self-proclaimed name was changed to me, so he patted his chest and swore and said: "I Huai Zui can't get used to the kind of villain who reverses black and white in my life, and I can't bear to let my brother be wronged and wrap it up on me." ”
"What about the conditions?"
"Oh, it's not interesting to negotiate terms with my brother." Huai drunk paused, "Can my wanted warrant be withdrawn?" ”
"I can't withdraw it, it's from the government."
"But I was wronged!" Huai Drunk complained.
"Then prove it, as long as you can find out the real culprit, I will keep you fine."
"Then it's decided." Huai drunk a teacup and touched the cup with Xiao Yongqing, and drank it all in one gulp, "Replace wine with tea, and do it first as a respect." ”
