Chapter Seventy-Six: The Enemy Meets (1)
"Do you want this princess to apologize? impossible, don't even think about it!" Jiang Zhen scolded and drove out the eunuch who passed the message, "Why? She is the daughter of a criminal minister, and she is more inferior than a common person, why do you want this princess to apologize?"
The eunuch was driven out of the door, hanging his head without a trace of fear, he waited for Jiang Zhen to be tired of scolding, and then said: "The emperor has ordered, if the fifth princess refuses to apologize, she has to send the princess back to the Temple of Mercy and Grace, so as not to make trouble again." ”
"How dare you speak to this princess!" Jiang Zhen rushed out and raised his hand to beat him, but the eunuch did not dodge.
"These are the emperor's intentions, the slave's words have been brought, and the five princesses are invited to make their own decisions. ”
He slapped Jiang Zhen, did not beg for mercy, nor was he angry, but simply turned around and left. This made Jiang Zhen frightened - it was as if she had been abandoned by the huge palace, and even the eunuchs were unwilling to please.
Jiang Zhen rushed back to the room like crazy and smashed the contents to pieces. The palace maids and eunuchs didn't dare to touch their heads, because they all figured it out, and the emperor was determined to punish the five princesses.
After waiting for a while, the movement in the room finally stopped, but there was a faint cry. Ping'er hesitated for a moment and stepped into the room, "Princess...... The emperor is also for your own good......"
"For me?" Jiang Zhen raised his head, his eyes were very red, "If he really did it for me, he wouldn't let me apologize to Shen Xizhi, let me lose face and be laughed at!"
Ping'er was shocked when she heard this, "Princess, you can't say these words!"
"What can't you say?" Jiang Zerui stood at the door, looking at the mess inside and raising his eyebrows slightly, "Who is this who makes our fifth princess so angry?"
"Brother Prince?" Jiang Zhen saw him, his eyes lit up, but his nose was sour, "Brother Prince also came to see my jokes?"
Jiang Zerui asked Ping'er to step back and stepped in, as if he didn't care about how messy the room was, "Zhen'er said this, the prince's brother will be sad." ”
He walked up to Jiang Zhen, with some sarcasm in his eyes, but he was all covered by the worry on the surface. Jiang Zhen was deceived by him, and cried and said: "My father wants me to apologize to Shen Xizhi, she is the daughter of a criminal minister, why does she want me to apologize?"
"Did you know...... Father's intentions?"
Jiang Zerui's slow voice made Jiang Zhen unconsciously curious.
"King Yu is now going to form a patrol army in order to protect the safety of the capital. At this time, Princess Yu was seriously ill due to gossip, and there were some unfavorable rumors pointing to you. My father did this, first, to appease King Yu, second, to cut off the gossip in the capital, and third, to you. ”
"Me?" Jiang Zhen didn't understand, "My father was obviously tired of me, so he pushed me out." ”
Listening to her such a straightforward and stupid complaint, Jiang Zerui was joking, but he quickly covered it up. He straightened his face and made a serious look, "Even if it's for the sake of my father, Zhen'er, you have to apologize today." In this way, those rumors that are unfavorable to you will be calmed down, and the face of your father and emperor will be saved. ”
"And ......," he sighed, "King Yu is addicted to love and has been blinded by Princess Yu, at this time, Zhen'er, you have to help your third brother come out." ”
"What?me?" Jiang Zhen became more and more confused, "The third brother was so dazzled by Shen Xizhi's vixen, how could I ......?"
When Jiang Zerui saw her take the bait, he said, "So you have to help your third brother and let him see the true face of Princess Yu." In this way, your third brother can understand your good intentions. ”
"That'...... Why didn't the prince's brother ......" Jiang Zhen was not completely confused, she still knew that she had been away from Beijing for two years, and her brotherhood with her brothers and sisters had long faded. It stands to reason that it should be more appropriate to persuade the prince brother who is not looking up and looking down with the third brother.
So why her?
I saw Jiang Zerui sighing, his face was sad, "King Yu has become enemies with the prince's brother, all because of Princess Yu...... If not, Brother Prince, and as for you, he will come to beg you?"
Jiang Zhen was completely stunned by this, "Then what should I do?"
Uncovering Shen Xizhi's "true face" is actually very simple.
Jiang Zerui told Jiang Zhen that as long as he took the opportunity to apologize today, he would go to King Yu's mansion and say that all the rumors about Jiang Zhen were secretly done by Shen Xizhi. Even if there is no real evidence, it can make Jiang Jingyu suspicious.
Jiang Zhen did not refuse this plan, and even helped himself to polish it with oil and vinegar. She was afraid that she would be weak and would suffer a loss in Yuwang's Mansion, so she brought several mothers-in-law with her.
"Ping'er, I think that tiger brother has probably fallen into the hands of Shen Xizhi. You've seen him, and if he's going to identify you, you're going to bite him back......"
On the way, Jiang Zhen instructed Ping'er in every detail, and asked her to recite it again. Ping'er pinched the hem of her clothes and said silently several times in her heart.
It's a pity that this plan died halfway before it was implemented.
"Lord Wang, the Zhou family is here. "Wei He is far away in Tianheng Mountain, and now he is following Jiang Jingyu by Wei Chi.
Shen Xizhi, who should have been sick in bed, was reading a travelogue in the study at this time, and only looked up from the book when he heard Wei Chi's words.
"Who brought it?" she asked.
Wei Chi grinned, "Zhou family." The subordinates were all ready to carry people, but who knew that Lord Zhou couldn't let go of his face, so he asked someone from his own house to carry him over. ”
So Shen Xizhi looked at Jiang Jingyu, "Do you want to go and see?"
Anyway, the prince asked them to apologize to him, and if they don't see each other, they can't say it.
Who knew that Jiang Jingyu really didn't play cards according to common sense, he casually took a new travelogue to Shen Xizhi, "You don't have to see it." ”
After a while, Wei Chi came to report again, "The fifth princess is also here, and the people on both sides are at the gate at this time, and their eyes are red like fighting cocks." ”
That's understandable. Shen Xizhi secretly thought that Zhou Zhuo was almost beaten to death by Jiang Zhen, and Jiang Zhen suffered from rumors this time because of Zhou Zhuo. The two of them met, but they couldn't fight again?
But......
She glanced at Jiang Jingyu, "Outside the palace, I'm afraid they won't be able to fight." ”
But then again, if the two really fight, then they can't make the emperor angry to death?
Shen Xizhi was thinking in her heart, the book in her hand was taken away by Jiang Jingyu, she looked up and saw him leaving without hesitation, "If you want to see the excitement, come with this king." ”
He glanced back at Shen Xi and casually threw the travelogue back to the bookshelf.
Shen Xizhi didn't know how he guessed his thoughts, but since he spoke, Shen Xizhi didn't miss this good show.
So she answered and followed Jiang Jingyu in Wei Chi's inexplicable gaze.
