Chapter 163: Misunderstanding, contradictions, sadness, love and hate, heartbreaking tears
It's dusk.
It's time for dinner.
In the room of Princess Qingtian of Qianqing Palace, the table was already full of wine and food.
Princess Qingtian looked at the table full of wine and food, motionless.
Her eyes were red and swollen, her face was haggard, and she looked depressed.
Since the farewell of the painful conversation with Su Zecai in the pavilion of the imperial garden at noon, she has been devastated and exhausted, and she has been washing her face with tears all afternoon.
Su Zecai's mother, Concubine Li, and her sister, Princess Yurou, are missing.
Because of this, I can't be close to him.
Concubine Li and Princess Yurou didn't have an accident sooner rather than later, but they had an accident at this juncture when they were going to get married.
What a fate!
The matter has come to this point, what is the future?
"Alas!" Princess Qingtian sighed heavily.
For today's plan, if you want to tie the knot with Su Zecai, there is no other way than to find Concubine Li and Princess Yurou, or to find Concubine Li and Princess Yurou.
"Squeak—"
The chief eunuch Xiao Quanzi pushed the door in, he closed the door, walked in front of Princess Qingtian, didn't speak, just shook his head helplessly.
Princess Qingtian smiled bitterly: "That's it, it's okay if he doesn't want to come, anyway, I don't have much appetite." ”
Xiao Quanzi looked at Princess Qingtian, lowered his head and muttered in his heart: "My emperor, this big wedding is coming, what's wrong with you and Su Gongzi?" ”
After being silent for a while, Princess Qingtian asked, "What is he doing?" ”
Xiao Quanzi looked up at Princess Qingtian and said softly: "Drinking in the room, like you, your expression is very painful. ”
"Alas!" Princess Qingtian sighed again.
Xiao Quanzi flattened his mouth, wanting to speak and stopping.
Princess Qingtian looked at him: "Do you want to know what happened between me and him?" ”
"Of course!" Xiao Quanzi rushed out, knowing that he was rude, and he looked apologetic.
Princess Qingtian said with a bitter face: "Tell you, actually, it wasn't me who had an accident with him, it was Concubine Li Niangniang and Princess Yurou who had an accident." ”
Xiao Quanzi asked worriedly, "What happened to them?" ”
"When I was ugly today, my brother-in-law came to tell me that the Praetorian Guards guarding my mother's cemetery and the Praetorian Guards guarding them were all poisoned, and they were missing, their lives and deaths are unknown, and their whereabouts are unknown."
"How could such a thing happen? Then the emperor, do you have any clues? ”
"I don't have a clue, my brother-in-law just suspects that this is the work of those courtiers of Concubine Li's mother, and suspects that they were rescued."
"Because they had an accident and disappeared, why Su Gongzi was so sad and painful?"
"Isn't it?"
"Then the emperor, you are also sad with Su Gongzi?"
"No, I'm sad because he said he wouldn't marry me until he found them."
"This ......" Xiao Quanzi also cried with a sad face.
How good is that?
Suddenly......
Princess Qingtian's eyes lit up, as if she had thought of something, and hurriedly said to Xiao Quanzi: "Xiao Quanzi, come here." ”
"Hey." Xiao Quanzi responded, and took a step closer to Princess Qingtian.
Princess Qingtian asked him: "Xiao Quanzi, you have been waiting for my father for more than five years, my father often wanders around Concubine Li's place and lingers with her, you often go in and out of Lixian Palace with him, have you inadvertently, or happened to bump into and found Concubine Li, and what suspicious dealings she has had with which ministers?" ”
Xiao Quanzi pondered for a moment, shook his head and said: "No, the emperor, this is really not, you know, the first emperor's favorite woman is not the first queen, the emperor your mother, but Concubine Li, when the first emperor was in the dynasty, everyone in the palace knew that Concubine Li Niangniang was a collection of thousands of favors, dominating the harem, the emperor often went to her Lixian Palace, the emperor thinks, the first emperor is such a favored woman, which minister ate the bear's heart leopard dared to run to her palace, and fell into the mouth, which is not playing with life?" ”
Princess Qingtian frowned and didn't speak.
Xiao Quanzi continued: "If Concubine Li took the initiative to go out of the palace to find someone and had dealings with the minister, it would be possible, but she was the heart of the emperor at the beginning, who would dare to ask more about her affairs?" ”
Princess Qingtian cried with a sad face: "In this way, then the matter is very difficult!" ”
Xiao Quanzi nodded: "It's really difficult." ”
There are no other clues and doubts left.
It's hard to do!
That's all I have to do!
Princess Qingtian instructed Xiao Quanzi: "Xiao Quanzi, the purpose." ”
"Intended?" Xiao Quanzi looked at Princess Qingtian blankly.
Princess Qingtian said again: "Yes, the purpose! ”
"Yes, the minion is going to prepare!" Xiao Quanzi said, hurriedly rushed to the copywriting, found the blank holy decree to unfold, polished the ink, picked the pen, and picked up the pen to point the ink, "Your Majesty, the minions are ready, you say, the minions write." ”
Princess Qingtian's lips moved, wanting to say something, but she never spoke.
Xiao Quanzi looked at her and waited patiently.
Princess Qingtian gritted her teeth, seemed to have made up her mind, and finally spoke, and said slowly: "The big wedding of this palace is imminent, how can fate make people, Concubine Li and Princess Yurou disappeared for no reason, their whereabouts are unknown, life and death are unknown, this major event really makes this palace and Su Zecai sad, so the palace decided to cancel the marriage with Su Zecai in advance, and everything is mainly to find Concubine Li and Princess Yurou." ”
Princess Qingtian finished reading slowly, and Xiao Quanzi had finished writing.
"Your Majesty, I'm done." Xiao Quanzi put down her pen.
"Clean up the meal, I'll go see Su Zecai, I don't have to accompany me." Princess Qingtian got up and threw down her words, opened the door and walked away.
Su Zecai's room was not far from the left-hand side of her room.
Princess Qingtian walked over quickly.
Outside the door, two maids were busy saluting her.
She waved her hand and walked them away.
She pushed the door and entered the house, only to see Su Zecai pouring herself a drink.
Su Zecai looked at her and ignored her.
She closed the door, sat down beside him, looked at him with great concern, and said softly: "Don't be sad, you can't come in a hurry, your mother and sister must be fine, we will find them." ”
He was indifferent.
She snatched the flask from his hand: "Don't drink it, it hurts." ”
He suddenly said coldly, "You did it, right?" ”
"What?" She looked at him blankly, not understanding what he meant.
Su Zecai looked at her with a straight face: "You did the matter of my mother and sister, right?" They're not missing, they've been killed by you, right? ”
"What did you say?" Princess Qingtian jumped up in fright, she never expected him to suspect that this was her own doing, this is something she never dared to think of, and she never thought of.
Su Zecai looked at her forcefully: "What did I say, you should be very clear in your own heart, what is missing, what is missing?" This is all a good play that you directed and acted yourself, right? ”
The pain and anger made him forget everything, forget the tolerance and concessions that Princess Qingtian had made for him.
Because of the pain and anger, he lost his keen judgment.
Hearing him slander himself like this, Princess Qingtian felt that her heart was about to break, she burst into tears, and cried bitterly: "I didn't expect that I was such a woman in your heart!" ”
Su Zecai was stubborn: "Isn't it? You kept saying you wanted her to die! ”
Princess Qingtian stared at him: "But don't forget, I also promised you at the beginning, and I am willing to let her go!" ”
"Who knows if you've repented?"
"Why should I go back?"
"Hmph, my mother is your mother-killing enemy, this is an enmity that does not share the heavens, it is not strange that you will regret it!"
"You're a very imaginative person!"
Su Zecai didn't answer again, just stared at her with shining eyes.
Princess Qingtian tried her best to calm herself, she knew that he had lost her mind at the moment, and she didn't want to quarrel with him anymore, it was pointless, she looked at him gently, and said softly: "You have drunk too much, calm yourself down!" Don't worry, give me half a month, I will definitely hand over your mother and sister to you alive, I'll go first, you take care of yourself and drink less. ”
Su Zecai ignored her and began to pour herself a drink again.
Princess Qingtian looked at him deeply, and walked away, with tears on her face and a broken heart.
Half a month!
Half a month I know if I can find Concubine Liniang and Princess Yurou?
But how can we comfort him?
