Chapter 21: Conspiracy
"The jade pendant on the girl's body is so familiar, it seems that I have seen it somewhere."
"Oh, you said this jade pendant. It was given by a well-known friend and was not worth much. Gui Longqin unconsciously protected the jade pendant in his hand.
"This person must be the girl's sweetheart."
"No, no, he and I haven't seen each other a few times, and we're not really friends."
"In my Nanzhao country, this half-faced mandarin duck jade pendant is usually given by a man to his beloved girl, if the girl is willing to accept it, she will take the jade pendant with her, I think the girl must have the owner of the jade pendant in her heart."
"Nanzhao Kingdom, isn't that the country of the realm prince, this going around and around has finally come here, but you can't let others find out that you know the realm prince." Thinking about these in his heart, Gui Longqin's face gradually became embarrassed, and he wanted to leave but didn't know how to say goodbye.
"I'm still bothering the girl to take care of it here, and Leng has to give back to the master, so I won't bother anymore."
"It's easy to say, saving someone's life is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter, no need to thank you."
After a few days of repairs, the owner of the west attic has finally recovered to its original state, and the guards here no longer prevent the two of them from meeting as before, so now Gui Longqin has simply moved here.
"It's been so long and we haven't known each other's situation, my name is Chen, what's your name?"
"I was born in winter, my surname is Yu, my name is a plum character, my parents passed away a few years ago, and it was the prince who kindly took me in as a maid to survive until now."
"Lord Wang? Isn't that the emperor's son or brother, but if that's the case, why did you arrest me here? Gui Longqin asked.
"I don't know this very well, but there is one thing I have to tell you, in fact, your name is not called Chen, I remember that there was a man when you rescued me, he called you Gui Longqin, although I am not sure if it is your sweetheart, but I think that others are really good, and they can save you in such a dangerous situation."
"Gui Longqin? Is this my name? It's been so long since I've had my memory and it's the first time I've heard someone call me like that, it's really nice that I finally know who I am, but I really don't remember who that man is. ”
"Your medical skills are so good, why can't you cure your own disease? Or have you ever wanted to go to a famous doctor? ”
"A tailor can't tailor himself, and the same doctor can't cure himself, so I'm afraid I won't be able to cure this disease in my life. But I seem to be used to this kind of life, but since you and the prince have affection for each other, why do you torture each other so much. ”
"I do fall in love with the prince, but my identity has always been a slave, and the prince will inherit the throne in the future, how can I bear to drag him down, so I refused his request to get married."
"But the lord said that the prince rejected you."
"Heh, he's such a person, he must get what he wants, he never cares what others think in their hearts, even if he breaks up, he has to decide."
"Since that's the case, why don't you leave the prince."
"Once you fall in love with someone, it's not easy to leave, the prince and I are destined to be entangled in this life, and I don't plan to do anything to break free. Why are you here? ”
"Actually, I don't know, I also set off with my friends from Yundu Mountain Villa to Jiuhua Mountain before, but who knew that I was kidnapped by the prince here halfway."
"Yundu Villa? No wonder the prince said a few days ago that he was going to pick up a very important person, and said that this person might affect the succession to the throne, are you that person? ”
"No, what does the throne have to do with me, what can I do as a common person."
"Today's Emperor Nanzhao is very old, and he has three princes under his knees who can inherit the throne, namely the eldest prince Su Zhiheng, the second prince Su Zhijing, and the fourth prince Su Zhixi, among the three princes, the fourth prince is still young, so the actual competitors are the eldest prince and the second prince."
"Then your prince is the eldest prince Su Zhiheng."
"You've finally been smart once, so I'm guessing you're the one who can counterbalance the Su realm."
"Me? No kidding, I'm not related to him, even if I die here, he won't have the slightest sympathy. ”
"Don't say that, the jade pendant on your body is not a vulgar thing, it seems that most of them are objects in the palace, you say that you are ordinary people, so where does this thing come from."
Gui Longqin thought in his heart that he couldn't hide it from Yumei no matter what, so it was better to tell her and Su Zhijing about it, so that Yumei could feel more at ease.
"That's right, I do have a relationship with Su Zhijing, I practiced in Baiyun Temple before, and Su Zhijing is the nephew of the host of Baiyun Temple, because of some reason, he is ashamed of me, so he gave me the jade pendant on his body."
"I said sister, I praised you for being smart just now, why are you confused now, this jade pendant is engraved with a mandarin duck, and he is the prince. If it doesn't mean anything to you, how can he give it to you easily, you must know that no matter how much you hurry, he must have something more suitable for you. ”
"So what do you want to say? Does he like me, or did I have a relationship with him before? ”
"I heard that the current princess of the realm is the princess of the Western Chu Kingdom, and before this princess entered the palace, there was also a princess who was the pearl of the prime minister of the dynasty, but later because the prime minister participated in the struggle for power, she was dismissed and exiled, and her daughter was also given death. I wonder if it's possible that you're the prime minister's jewel. ”
"But it's all speculation, isn't it? Even if I am, now trapped here, sooner or later I will be a victim of power. ”
"That's not necessarily, I have a way for you to go out to find the prince of the realm, and now only he can help you. It's just that now you don't have him in your heart, even if he has you in his heart, the weight may not be heavy, if you want to live well, then you have to give up everything and please the prince of the realm, you can do it. ”
In fact, in Gui Longqin's heart, it was not that she hadn't thought about relying on the realm prince to get rid of the current predicament, but there was one thing she couldn't understand, since the realm prince had abandoned herself once before, how long could she stay by the prince's side this time? But are you really willing to spend the rest of your life here in vain? Although she is accompanied by Yumei, after all, she is the prince's sweetheart, and it is actually very easy to say that she wants to go out, and thinking of this seems to have a lot of courage in her heart.
"I think about it, if I can regain my freedom, I am willing to cooperate with you to please the prince."
"Okay, it will be the emperor's birthday in a few days, and the vigilance here will be relaxed at that time, and then you will pretend to have a conflict with me and kidnap me, and then let the guards let you out of the island."
