Chapter 51: Double Calculation
At night, Jing Yuan was a little restless, fidgeting in the dormitory, and even Bi Ru on the side felt a little inappropriate.
"Princess, if not, let the slave maid go for the princess?"
Bi Ru pursed her lips and looked at Jing Yuan with some hesitation.
"You are my personal palace maid, if you are caught, it is you or me, what is the difference?"
Jing Yuan smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Forget it, this matter is always unreasonable, we can't, and shouldn't go on this troubled water!" Settle it early, and I'm going to say goodbye to the queen mother tomorrow morning......"
So saying, he went to bed and covered his head with a quilt.
Seeing this, Biru didn't dare to say much, put down the curtain, blew out the candles, and tiptoed to close the door of the dormitory and retreated.
Hearing the sound of the door closing, Jing Yuan poked his head out of the quilt, and then sighed heavily.
Although she was reborn once, Jing Yuan's nature is still that kind girl who is a little too much.
Jing Yuan has experienced the pain of not being able to ask for it, and he can't do anything about it, but it does not affect Jing Yuan's request for others and he can't toss and turn.
People's hearts are made of flesh, how can there be so much tenacity and self-sufficiency? In particular, Ye Wangye's impression in Jing Yuan's heart is not bad.
"Alas!"
Jing Yuan sighed, turned over and got out of bed, looked up at the moonlight, and inexplicably thought of the Star Picking Tower again.
But in the East Palace, Ning Xiuhan was kneeling in front of Chu Lingyu with a anxious face, and persuaded hard: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, if it is any longer, I am afraid that Princess Jingyuan will really fall into other people's calculations!" I overheard the news by chance, and there was no real evidence in my hand, so I hesitated until this time to say to His Royal Highness, yes, it is not here, but no matter what, Princess Jingyuan's matter is the biggest, even if it is just in case, you are only going to take this trip for peace of mind......"
A hint of hesitation flashed in Chu Lingyu's eyes, and after thinking for a moment, he still asked a little suspiciously, "Do you really hear Princess Qingxue plan like this?" But this palace is heavily guarded, how can she, a princess of Xiyue, be able to kidnap people out of thin air?! ”
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
Ning Xiuhan's eyes suddenly sprung up with three points of eagerness: "For a woman, where does this kind of thing need to be taken away?" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has not forgotten the experience of Princess Jingyi some time ago?! ”
Don't say that people are taken captive, as long as they are seen, the private meeting between men and women in the middle of the night is something that cannot be said clearly even if they have a long mouth.
It turned out that the figure under the big tree that day was none other than Ning Xiuhan.
Ning Xiuhan has been waiting for the opportunity these days, but he didn't expect the news of Princess Jingyi to enter the sea like a mud cow, seeing that the Wanshou Festival has passed for a long time, Ning Xiuhan has not been summoned by Chu Aotian, and he can't help but start muttering in his heart.
That day, he just wanted to find an opportunity to ask Jingyi, but he never thought that he heard such earth-shattering news again, Ning Xiuhan thought about it in a blink of an eye, and stabbed the news in front of Chu Lingyu - but he hid what Jingyi did in the middle.
"But now that it's night, although I'm the crown prince, I can't walk around the harem at will, if it arouses my father's suspicion, I'm afraid it's ......."
If it was daytime, Chu Lingyu would definitely go to Jing Yuan without saying a word, but now that it was almost time, even if he was a brother and sister, he should avoid suspicion.
"If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince takes care of so much, then there is nothing he can do."
Ning Xiuhan let out a long sigh, and a wry smile surged across his face: "Even if you are worried in Xiabai, Your Highness, even if it is so, you will retire in Xia......"
With that, Ning Xiuhan arched his hand towards Chu Lingyu and turned around to leave.
"Wait!"
Chu Lingyu's heart was crossed, but he still stopped Ning Xiuhan, lowered his head, gritted his teeth and said: "Then the prince will go this way, you are right, it is better to believe it than not to believe it, if there is really something, it will be too late to regret it!" ”
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is wise!"
Seeing that Chu Lingyu was willing to believe his words, Ning Xiuhan was overjoyed in his heart, and hurriedly moved his body to the side, originally wanting to go with Chu Lingyu, but he was stopped by Chu Lingyu without thinking.
"After all, it's late at night, and this matter is left to His Highness, Xiuhan...... It's better to rest early! ”
Chu Lingyu coughed lightly, gave Ning Xiuhan a meaningful look, and left with the person.
Ning Xiuhan stood in place for a moment, until Chu Lingyu walked a few steps away, and then arched his hand respectfully at Chu Lingyu's back: "Yes......"
It's okay, this matter is originally a royal secret, and it can't be any good to follow it yourself!
Ning Xiuhan comforted himself so much in his heart, and after thinking clearly, he honestly returned to his room to stay.
But it was said that Chu Lingyu hurriedly went to the direction pointed out by Ning Xiuhan in the imperial garden, and sure enough, under an osmanthus tree, he saw a person dressed as the king of Xiyue, with his hands behind his back, as if he was waiting for someone.
"This, this simply makes no sense!"
Chu Lingyu was shocked in his heart, and suddenly had a feeling that his own treasure was being remembered by thieves, and he gritted his teeth and said to himself: "I still said so implicitly during the day, and I also said that I wanted to ask for the opinions of the queen mother and the prince, but I never thought that this turn would dare to break into the palace alone to meet Jing Yuan privately, it is really, it is really unreasonable!" ”
"Your Highness, don't be in a hurry, can't you say that the princess won't come?"
The personal guard on the side whispered a word of persuasion.
"Even if the princess doesn't come, it will be a great rebellion for him to appear in the imperial garden at this hour! If the prince doesn't know, it's just that, but if he knows, he has the responsibility to take him for his father! ”
Chu Lingyu snorted coldly, and just wanted to lead someone to rush out, but suddenly there was a chaotic sound of footsteps in his ears, which made the foot that was about to take it back immediately, and raised his eyes suspiciously to look not far away.
"What a bold man, he dared to have a private meeting in the Imperial Garden late at night!"
A sharp voice pierced the silence of the night sky, Chu Lingyu's heart sank, and a few doubts came to his heart again.
Before the eunuch could see what was in front of him, he said the word "private meeting", and it seemed that he knew exactly what was going to happen!
To put it more clearly, that is, this eunuch was clearly assigned by others to come here to "catch traitors"!
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"
The personal guard shouted in a low voice, and then raised his eyes to look at Chu Lingyu as if asking, but Chu Lingyu stretched out his hand and temporarily stopped their actions: "Let's take a look first!" ”
There are more than a group of people who are worried about Jingyuan, and they must first see the faces of these people clearly!
The man dressed in the royal costume of Xiyue turned his head suddenly, but at this moment, Chu Lingyu saw his appearance clearly, and was immediately shocked!
It turns out that this person is not Ye Yun, it is clear, it is clearly Princess Qingxue who dresses as a man!
No wonder I think this figure is a little weird, it turns out that the body seems to be much thinner than before!
But Princess Qingxue suddenly saw so many people pouring out, and she was also startled in her heart, and muttered in her heart Could it be that Jing Yuan was really so ruthless, and she didn't hesitate to make a big deal about it and embarrass Brother Wang's face, right?
Thinking of this, Princess Qingxue felt a burst of resentment in her heart, and whistled violently, and four or five more people in black poured out from not far away, and these people in black immediately protected Princess Qingxue in the middle, apparently wanting to escort Princess Qingxue out of this place of right and wrong.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, my subordinates seem to have remembered that this eunuch who leads the team seems to be from Huayang Palace!"
Just when Chu Lingyu frowned, suddenly the personal guard whispered a reminder in his ear.
"Huayang Palace?"
Chu Lingyu's eyes widened violently, and he figured everything out in an instant.
Thinking about it, this matter is inseparable from Concubine Rou!
Maybe the person who conspired with Princess Qingxue was either Concubine Rou or Jingyi!
It must have been Princess Qingxue who sent someone to take Jing Yuan away, so she did not hesitate to risk her life and act as a bait herself, and Huayang Palace also made her own calculations and wanted to do this matter, but the little eunuch who was sent to do things was also reckless, and he didn't see clearly that Jing Yuan was not here, so "Ye Wangye" was not Ye Yun but Princess Qingxue......
In addition, this eunuch Chu Lingyu didn't feel very familiar, and a sudden realization flashed in his eyes-it must be Jingyi's own opinion!
Because he instructed the big eunuch in Huayang Palace, or was afraid of alarming Concubine Rou, he could only use the eunuch in front of him - since this eunuch had the opportunity to please Princess Jingyi, he naturally did not want to let go of this opportunity......
Thankfully, Jing Yuan didn't make a mistake, otherwise, she might not have been able to hide from a lot of calculations!
Chu Lingyu's heart suddenly flashed with a flash of happiness, but the heavier the happiness, the deeper the resentment in his heart.
Seeing that the two sides had already begun to move, Chu Lingyu stood up violently, ordered his subordinates to restrain the two sides, and immediately grasped the initiative on the field.
"Too, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?!"
A flash of panic immediately flashed on the little eunuch's face, and Princess Qingxue was not much better, staring at Chu Lingyu with a cloudy face, and said hatefully: "Are you guys joining forces and trying to calculate against me?!" ”
"If Princess Qingxue doesn't want to harm people, no one can calculate you!"
A flash of disgust flashed in Chu Lingyu's eyes, and he shouted loudly to the imperial guards who had already arrived in the distance: "Come on, take a group of people to the heavenly prison, and wait for the father and emperor to execute them in person tomorrow!" As for Princess Qingxue, Haosheng sent someone to the post house to hand it over to Ye Wangye, and everything will wait for tomorrow's father's holy decision! ”
"Yes!"
The guards replied in a deep voice, and the people brought by the little eunuch were all dejected, but Princess Qingxue was unconvinced, and shouted loudly: "These are the people brought by this princess, and they are our guards in Xiyue, Your Royal Highness the Prince, you have no right to deal with it!" ”
"Oh?"
Chu Lingyu sneered, and stared at Princess Qingxue with a smile: "This prince was originally afraid that Princess Qingxue would not admit it, but since Princess Qingxue recognized it, then it is easy to say——"
As soon as the words changed, Chu Lingyu's face changed, and he immediately shouted: "What does the princess want to lead someone to break into the palace of my Li Kingdom late at night?!" In this matter, I, Li Guo, must ask the Emperor of Xiyue for an explanation! ”
