Chapter 43: Who is the Jade Maiden?
In the dilapidated firewood house, there was an unkempt and dull-eyed woman lying on the wattle wood, and her messy and dirty hair that had not been taken care of for a long time covered her dull eyes.
Baguio's death and the poisonous onset of the Seven-Day Life Locking Pill made Bi Lian almost want to cut herself, but Zhong Lixun spared her life, making her worse than death.
"Open the door." Mrs. Yin's soft voice came from the door, the door was broken and locked, and Qinghe helped Rong Caiyin, who was dressed in a moon-white lake skirt, to enter.
Bi Lian looked at Rong Caiyin with hatred, worthy of being the woman next to Zhong Lixun! She sneered: "What are you doing here?" It's me who was stupid and mistrusted you, and now that I'm worse than dead, what jokes do you have to watch!? β
"Yes, it was His Highness who lured Mrs. Xun to kill Baguio and let her be arrested, and I deliberately told you the truth to let you assassinate Your Highness, and Your Highness is also waiting for you to mess around, but, Yun Bilian, who asked you to work for the cruel prince?"
Everything is just a bureau from Xunbu! It's all to blame Baguio for being too stupid and naΓ―ve......
As expected, Bi Lian had already guessed that she was being toyed with in applause, she tilted her head towards Rong Caiyin, and smiled with relief: "Your Highness is really 'resourceful', but I am just a small chess piece, why didn't Your Highness and Mrs. Yin kill me!?"
Bi Lian's heart is painful, she only wants a relief, why does she want to obey the prince's orders? But in order to protect Baguio, Zhong Liyong took a seven-day life-locking pill for her that night, and every few days someone will send an antidote, if she doesn't take it, her abdominal organs will be eaten by poisonous insects until she dies tragically, if she doesn't work hard for Zhong Liyong, the next person to take the pill is Baguio! But in the end, she still didn't keep Baguio, she is not a good sister!
Rong Caiyin looked at the thorn tree lying on the thorn with a needle, without any pity, like a superior person: "Your Royal Highness didn't want Yun Baguio's life, she couldn't stand it, as for keeping you, it was just for you to atone for your sister."
There was a mocking sneer from Bi Lian behind him, Rong Caiyin turned around, but a trace of hatred appeared on Qingmei's face.
That hatred came from another person, and she would not admit that His Royal Highness was afraid of Ah Rong's friendship with the Yun sisters to save Yun Bilian's life.
Why? Why!?
Even if she leaves, she can make Her Highness so haunted, why does she take all the good things in the world? Peerless appearance, illustrious background...... If it weren't for the help of the man in white from the Nine Screens, Ah Rong would still be pestering His Highness!
Jiupingmen wants ten thousand gold, and what she wants is the great cause of His Highness and the heart of His Highness, so Jiupingmen cooperates with her, and she will not refuse!
"Madam, Qinghe has long advised Madame not to come, and now it will only add to her troubles." Qinghe carefully helped Rong Caiyin, who made a slight sound, to step out of the threshold to avoid tripping, after Rong Caiyin came back to her senses, her heart was full of bitterness, and she didn't know when, for the sake of her man, she became so ruthless and jealous.
In the study of the Second Highness, there were several voices of discussion.
Zhong Lixun stood in the middle of the bookcase, and opened a few letters with his white eagle fingers with a faint expression.
Seeing that His Royal Highness had not moved, Wei Chiqi couldn't help but make a solemn suggestion: "Your Highness, the details that the crown prince and King Jing have planted by his side have been caught, and the wrong thing of the prince crossing the river has been exposed, and it is time to make his evil deeds over the years public, and the king will definitely move to abolish the prince."
Seeing that Zhong Lixun did not answer, Gongliangjian on one side thought slightly, and then said: "I don't think it's appropriate for the time being, first of all, the king has always been very serious to the prince, although the prince's crimes are exposed, the king may not be punished heavily, maybe he will be bitten back if he suspects His Royal Highness." Besides, Miss Ah Rong is still in the hands of the prince...... In my opinion, we should wait for the opportunity and have full confidence to deal a fatal blow to the prince. β
"What is there to wait for? In my opinion, now is the best time, how can we be so timid? Besides, that little maid, what's worth mentioning!? Wei Chiqi had an angry look on his face, on the battlefield, just fight, blindly wait, do you wait for someone to cut you to death?
Gong Liangjian couldn't help but sigh: "Wei Chi, you acted too radically before, and you fell under the control of the prince, which made him suspicious of His Royal Highness. This time, you don't want to be nonsense. β
This Gongliangjian repeatedly argued with him in front of His Highness, and Wei Chiqi was angry: "Gongliangjian, you just play lip service, how do you know that officialdom is like a battlefield!?"
Seeing the two arguing, Zhong Lixun put down the letter in his hand, his handsome face was light, and there was no longer the evil charm and cynicism of the past.
"Gongliang is right, Wei Chi, you are really reckless in your daily actions."
Wei Chiqi was reprimanded, and his anger did not subside: "Your Highness, even so, what is there to worry about that little maid?"
After Zhong Lixun heard this, his eyes became deeper and deeper, and the corners of his mouth smiled slightly inscrutablely: "Show you two something."
"The first few hundred years of the Jin Dynasty is the first country in Kyushu, since the sorcerer of Kyushu said that the jade girl, for more than ten years, all countries are looking for the jade girl of the Ji clan in the Jin Dynasty, the politics of the Jin Dynasty are declining day by day, only the Ji family still has a noble identity, there are rumors that the jade girl has won the world, and the world believes that the jade girl is the eldest princess of the Ji family - the tortoiseshell princess, in fact, it is not. Just some time ago, Zhong Liyong threw a lot of money to ask the people in the Jiuping Gate to explore, only to know that the former king of the Ji family had a missing pearl, and the jade girl had another person, and the news was just suppressed by Zhong Liyong, and this time he took away the jade girl and hid it in the East Palace, and he was afraid that all forces would want to fight. β
Zhong Li Xun's slender body walked to the side of the bookshelf, pressed the hidden mechanism on a cabinet with his hand, opened a small wooden box inside, took out the portrait hidden in the box, and shook it open: "This person is the tortoiseshell princess of the Middle Jin Dynasty, and she is the eldest daughter of the King of Jin."
The wooden box carved with sandalwood contains a painting of rice paper and ink, which is spread out on the table, and a beautiful girl appears on it.
The plum forest is flourishing, and the bright red plum blossoms are flying in the sky, like flying flakes, and the beauty dances in the flowers. Taste the peerless color, and restore the posture of the city.
The charming little face has a bright smile, the eyes are pure and beautiful, like a fairy who has not been contaminated with fine dust, looking forward to the bright eyes, the body is graceful, the temperament is luxurious, and the gestures are enough to fascinate all beings.
There are not many people who have seen the tortoiseshell princess, and the girl in the painting has a beautiful face, but her eyebrows and eyes are like ...... The beautiful face of the quiet virgin blooms quietly like an epiphany, what a similar face it is.
When Gong Liangjian saw the girl on the painting, his handsome face was awe-inspiring, and the two looked too similar, so he couldn't help but be slightly surprised: "What does Your Highness mean is that the jade girl is not the tortoiseshell princess, but the Ah Rong girl......?"
"This ...... How is that possible?" Wei Chiqi was stunned, he couldn't believe it, thought for a moment, and then blurted out, "The political turmoil in the Middle Jin Dynasty, the current Jin King Ji Zhong killed the first king's brother Ji and ascended to the throne, and the first Jin King had no children, so Ji Zhong succeeded, it turned out that Ji Zhong had a widowed daughter......"
The two were shocked, Miss Arong turned out to be the orphan of the king of the first Jin Dynasty!
No wonder His Royal Highness imprisoned her in the mansion a few days ago, and was later robbed by the prince to the East Palace!
"Yes, there is no mistake." Zhong Lixun put away the portrait and put it back in the box, and there was a layer of cold evil in his deep eyes, and he couldn't hide his shock when he knew her background.
***
In the middle of the night, the dark clouds cover the moonlight, the attic of the east palace is hidden in the deep night, the night at the end of summer is much cooler than the day, the prince's bedroom is located in the east of the east palace, behind the dormitory is a flower pond, there is a white stone viewing platform and a fence in front of the pool to connect the small bridge on the pool.
Ah Rong looked sleepless, stood in front of the window with a sad expression, turned around and saw a man in a bright robe opening the door of the temple with an unsteady and drunken look, and he pounced like a hungry wolf: "You are Your Highness tonight!" β¦β¦β
was about to struggle, but Zhong Liyong, who was pressed on her, was actually pushed by her and fell to the ground, muttering to herself: "Zhong Lixun...... My good brother Wang, you dare to join me!? β¦β¦ The throne was mine! It's mine...... Now the king of Chu has sought the throne! Why can't I! β¦β¦β
Ah Rong was shocked, Zhong Liyong did not hide his ambition at all, but she was confused when she heard it, what throne was his? And is the current king of Chu not succeeding to the throne?
She didn't know about Nan Chu's old affairs, and she didn't want to pay more attention to it!
Zhong Liyong pulled a pair of gloomy eyes and crawled over again, and he didn't care if his clothes were soiled by his own vomit, and pulled Ah Rong to the ground hard, and the unpleasant smell of wine sprayed on her face: "But the jade girl, the jade girl is still mine...... He can't take it away from Xun...... I won't let him take your ......"
Jade Girl!? Who is the Jade Maiden?
