Chapter 148: Overturning the vinegar altar
"Where are you going?" Li Yuan was a little anxious, took her hand and asked, "You are not allowed to go anywhere without my permission, oops, Shuzhen, don't lose your temper with me, you know, I love you very much in my heart." ”
"Since His Highness said that he loves me, why didn't he let me enter the palace? So we're together in the open. Shuzhen climbed down the pole, trying to force Li Yuan to agree to her request to enter the palace.
Of course Li Yuan didn't want to, if his father knew about it, it would be a big crime.
"Shuzhen, you've said this several times, didn't I tell you, the timing is not right now, if I bring you into the palace, my father and queen mother will beat me to death!"
Shuzhen looked unhappy, turned around and got out of bed to put on her clothes, and shouted angrily, "It turns out that His Highness is just playing with me!" Didn't even think about giving me a name! Just treat me like a toy! You're no different from the men out there! It's better for Your Highness to leave Tianxiang Pavilion now! The emperor and queen of the province know about it, blame you, you don't want to come again in the future, I'll go and tell my mother tomorrow, and I'll leave! Never coming back! ”
"Shuzhen, what kind of temper are you messing with me, when did I say that I won't give you a name, it's just that the timing is not right now, you also know that my situation in the court is very difficult, and I can't make my own decisions about many things."
Li Yuan was neither daring nor reluctant, in a dilemma, his heart was really like a fire, he took Shuzhen's hand, took her into his arms, and kissed her forehead.
Shuzhen's tears fell as soon as she said it, and she sobbed, "Your Highness, otherwise, let's break off contact, Shuzhen has no other requirements in this life, I hope to marry a wishful husband, it is enough to accompany him every day, Shuzhen also really loves His Highness, but we are destined to have no fate, Shuzhen's background is not worthy of His Highness, and I don't want to be punished by His Highness...... Don't come again in the future, even if Your Highness comes again, I won't see you again......"
Shuzhen's words made Li Yuan's heart itch even more, looking at her crying red eyes and pink face, he felt even more in love, his reason was completely washed into the moat, his mind was hot, he took her hand and said, "Forget it, Shuzhen, why don't you go back to the palace with me today!" I'll hide you in the palace first, and then tell my father and queen mother when I find a suitable opportunity!" I must take you as a concubine! ”
"Really? Your Highness? Aren't you afraid of being blamed by the emperor? Sook-jin was overjoyed that her plan had succeeded.
"Am I not afraid that you will be upset? Alright, let's pack up our things now and go back to the palace immediately. Li Yuan is now full of thoughts about making Shuzhen happy, and he can't care about any other dangers.
It only took a while to redeem Shuzhen and take her back to the palace secretly.
This scene happened to be seen by Min Yue and Li Wenyao, who were still eating in the restaurant, Min Yue pointed to the carriage in surprise and asked, "Seventh brother, look, is that the fourteenth brother's car!" ”
"yes, what's wrong?" Li Wenyao raised his eyes and saw Li Yuanzheng sneaking into the car with a woman in a black cloak in his arms and heading in the direction of the palace.
"What? The fourteenth prince actually brought a Qinglou woman back to the palace! After listening to Zhao Yanyi's words, Wan Bingyu and Heng Xinyuan both exclaimed in unison, and the hot tea in their hands spilled out, "This is too unusual!" It's simply a disgrace to the imperial court! ”
"Hey, who said it wasn't, my father and Lord Luo were also anxious about this matter." Zhao Yanyi continued.
"What's going on next? Did the emperor find out? How is it disposed of? Wan Bingyu hurriedly chased after and asked, "The Fourteenth Prince shouldn't have brought her into the palace like this, right?" ”
Zhao Yanyi waved his hand and lowered his head, "I don't know about this, I will set off to Liangzhou later, and I don't know what the situation in the palace is like now, but before I came, my father said that he would write to me from time to time, don't worry too much, for now, let's deal with the affairs of Liangzhou together." ”
Heng Xinyuan nodded, "Well, what you said is that there are the Seventh Prince Minyue and Uncle Zhao and Uncle Luo in the palace, and nothing big will happen in the future." ”
Halfway through the tea, and the sky was gradually darkening, Uncle Qian, the housekeeper outside the door, knocked on the door and whispered, "My lord, madam, it's time to eat, where are you eating?" ”
"It's in the main hall." Heng Xinyuan smiled and said to Zhao Yanyi, "You came from afar, we must have a few drinks tonight." ”
"Okay."
The three of them walked towards the Tanghua Hall together, and when they passed by the side hall where Ning Xin lived, Heng Xinyuan stopped, walked to her door and knocked softly, "Miss Ning Xin, dinner is ready, why don't you eat with us, I see that you haven't had a good meal for a few days." ”
After a while, the door slowly opened, and Ning Xin blushed a little embarrassedly, "My lord has a distinguished guest coming today, so I won't bother, I'll let the maid go to the kitchen to get some food and eat it in the room later." ”
"How can this be considered a nuisance, Yan Yi and I are also old friends, we don't care about so much, Miss Ningxin should eat together." Heng Xinyuan politely and gentlemanly sent her an invitation again, and Ning Xinfang nodded shyly and followed him to the Tanghua Hall.
Wan Bingyu looked at her, and suddenly a strange feeling surged in her heart, originally she was very willing to do it when she saw the injustice and pulled out the knife to help, but now seeing her following Heng Xinyuan with such affection, she suddenly knocked over the five-flavor bottle.
But because of his identity and Zhao Yanyi's presence, he had to pretend to be fine.
"The case of Pingxi Hou Mansion is over, which is also a good thing, and you can live in peace in Liangzhou in the future." Zhao Yanyi raised his wine glass and touched it with the two of them, "The emperor's disposal results should be delivered in the next few days, and it has been hard for you during this time." ”
After saying that, he turned his head to look at Ning Xin again, and said with some embarrassment, "But Miss Ning Xin, according to the investigation of the Criminal Department, in the past few years, your father Master Ma has indeed had a bribery relationship with Xue Ruijin, so ...... I'm afraid I can't overturn the case for him......"
Ning Xin was a little sad for a while, but he knew that he couldn't do anything, so he could only wipe his tears silently, Heng Xinyuan thought for a while, put down his chopsticks, and said slowly, "I think, maybe things will take a turn for the better, and I will present it to the emperor tomorrow, just say that Master Ma was killed because he exposed Xue Ruijin's crimes, and it can be regarded as making up for it, at least not letting him be criticized after his death......"
"Master Heng...... Ning Xin really doesn't know how to thank you......" Ning Xin heard this, and immediately put down his chopsticks and was about to get up and salute, but was supported by Heng Xinyuan, and said politely, "No need to do this, let's eat quickly......"
This back-and-forth interaction fell in Wan Bingyu's eyes, like a glass shard falling into his eyeball, it was really painful, and the original good mood slowly disappeared, just lying on the table listlessly, deliberately not looking at Heng Xinyuan.
Until the end of dinner, the two of them returned to the room, Wan Bingyu was also reluctant, pouting and sitting on the bed awkwardly, Heng Xinyuan pushed the door in, and felt a low pressure around him, and sat beside her and asked, "Lady, what's wrong?" Why are you suddenly upset? ”
"Where am I unhappy, I'm very happy, but ah, no matter how happy I am, I'm not as happy as Lord Heng!" Wan Bingyu muttered angrily.
"What's wrong with me? Couldn't I have provoked you somewhere? Heng Xinyuan was confused, and after thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't think of what offended Wan Bingyu, but seeing the stiffness of her face, he had to give in and coax first, "Wasn't it okay when you ate just now?" ”
Wan Bingyu was originally straightforward, and he was not good at hiding his emotions, so he said angrily, "Yes, it's because when I was eating, I saw something I shouldn't see!" That's why I'm in a bad mood! ”
"At mealtime?" Heng Xinyuan thought back to all the things that happened during the banquet, and gradually understood in his heart, it turned out that Wan Bingyu was jealous of herself, so she quickly hugged her waist and explained, "Do you mean Miss Ningxin?" I just watched her family fall apart, from a dignified prefect's daughter to the present, it's really a little unbearable, so I helped a little bit, why are you still angry? ”
