Chapter 111: Once the sea was hard to turn into water
Zhao Zhen deliberately pretended to be asleep, and his eyelids didn't move.
He wanted to hear what Yixuan had to say. Take advantage of the fact that he is asleep to vomit as fast as he can, so that he can know what she is thinking.
Yi Xuan saw his hard work in pretending to be sleeping, held back a smile, and pretended to be serious: "I just found out about Li Jingyan's matter a few days ago, and I didn't tell you, and I didn't want to bother you, so I had a dislike with the Li family for this." What Zhuang Liu said is pure fabrication, and I have never done such a thing. β
"You are my husband, I naturally think about everything for you, how could I deliberately provoke a conflict between you and the Li family? There is no reason to help the emperor harm you. The Wen family's allegiance to the emperor is good, but allegiance to the emperor does not mean that they are against you. The Son of Heaven rules the world, the princes control one side, if the northwest is chaotic, the Tatars take advantage of the void to enter, Zhao Shen will definitely attack the capital with his troops, isn't it a great chaos in the world? β
Zhao Zhen was slightly surprised - Yi Xuan's mind was so clear, and in just a few words, she made it clear that she had no motive to do this.
Yi Xuan's eyes stared, looked out the window at Bishu and continued: "Zhuang Liu, a civilian, has no grievances with me, and with his mind, he can't think of using this method to harm me. And the person who harmed me must not be Li Jingyan. So, who does His Highness think it will be? β
Zhao Zhen opened his eyes, took Yi Xuan's hand and held it, and asked thoughtfully, "Who do you suspect?" β
"Hu Qingyun." Yixuan is in the right color.
Zhao Zhen looked stunned, obviously not believing it, and hesitated for a moment and said tactfully: "Hu Qingyun has a gentle temperament, he shouldn't be able to do such a vicious thing." β
"......" Yixuan withdrew her hand and glared at him angrily.
What kind of gentle temperament, that's called hiding deeply!
Zhao Zhen saw that the girl was unhappy, so he had to put on a businesslike attitude: "Why do you doubt her? β
"I naturally have the evidence to say that." Yi Xuan pouted, "A few days ago, Hu Qingyun went to the house of Yong'an Fang, and then took Zhuang's mother back to Zhilan Courtyard, and sent Zhuang's mother away after nightfall. After that, I went again, returned the house, and placed Zhuang Mu and others in the inn. β
In other words, Hu Qingyun had already been in contact with Zhuang's mother Zhuang Liu, and it was not difficult to buy these two.
"Really?"
"Of course it's true. If you don't believe me, you can ask the house slaves in the house of Yong'an Fang for interrogation, and from their mouths, you may be able to ask a little truth. If you ask the people of Zhilan Academy, I'm afraid you won't be able to ask a word. β
Yixuan sat down on the chair next to her, bored.
Zhao Zhen got up, touched Yixuan's head, and said, "Don't be so troublesome, I'll go to Zhilan Courtyard in person." β
Yi Xuan was taken aback: "Are you going to ask Hu Qingyun?" β
Zhao Zhen nodded.
Yixuan originally wanted Zhao Zhen not to go, after all, Hu Qingyun was very cunning, and his words might be reversed. But after thinking about it, she would not be naΓ―ve enough to think that she could bring down Hu Qingyun through this incident, Zhao Zhen would not do anything to Hu Qingyun for the sake of Hu Xi's face.
On the contrary, she insisted on holding on to this matter, which would make it difficult for Zhao Zhen to do.
"Okay." Yi Xuan smiled indifferently.
She still understands Zhao Zhen's difficulties very well. The more powerful the man is offside, the less he can do what he wants. The most freewheeling thing Zhao Zhen has done in his life should be to marry her.
At the other end of Zhilan Courtyard, someone had already told Concubine Hu about the princess going to the prince to tell Concubine Hu.
"Master, what now? In the past few days, the princess has listened to your whereabouts, and she must know that you bought the mother and son of the dealer, and she will definitely tell the prince! β
Miaoqin was in a hurry and walked back and forth in the house.
Hu Qingyun didn't raise his eyelids, and slowly served the spices. Su Wen came in and put down the tea, and persuaded Miaoqin: "You can rest." The master is not in a hurry, what are you anxious about? β
Miaoqin was about to refute, but heard Hu Qingyun say: "You should learn from Su Wen, don't be so frizzy when you encounter trouble." β
Miaoqin was embarrassed.
Su Wen knocked on Miaoqin's head and said, "The master is to accept Concubine Li's entrustment and settle the mother and son of the Zhuang family, and the next things have nothing to do with the master, do you know?" β
Miaoqin was stunned for a moment, then suddenly brightened, and nodded: "The slave understands." β
"You go and watch the little girls, don't let them talk nonsense." Suwen pulled Miaoqin out.
Soon Su Wen turned back and told Hu Qingyun: "The prince is here." β
"He's here to question me." Hu Qingyun put down the silver spoon, covered the incense burner, closed his eyes and took a deep breath, and smiled lightly: "It's a pity." β
"What a pity?" Su Wen was puzzled.
"It's a pity that the prince still needs my father to help under his account...... Just as I can't move the princess, so can't the princess move me. β
Su Wen wondered in his heart, since the master already knew, why did he make such a fuss, wasn't it in vain to waste time and effort?
Thinking so, she unconsciously asked.
"I didn't expect the prince to believe this at all, as long as the Li family believed it." Hu Qingyun said casually.
Su Wen thought about it, and couldn't help but sigh at the master's cleverness.
Concubine Li is good with a poor showman, and she really loses the face of the Marquis of Anding. An Dinghou was angry and couldn't vent it on his daughter, so he could only hate the princess. No matter what explanation the palace gives in the end, Andinghou will believe that it was the princess who designed to frame his daughter, and Andinghou and the princess are incompatible.
"Master, do you want to send a letter to the master?"
Master, that is, Hu Qingyun's father, Hu Xian.
"No, I don't. The last time I met with my father, we had already discussed this matter, and my father would take care of it. β
As long as Hu Xian takes this opportunity to win over Marquis Anding, then the Hu family and the Li family will form an indestructible alliance and jointly fight against the princess.
Hu Qingyun didn't wait long, and Zhao Zhen came.
"Say hello to the prince." Hu Qingyun bowed down.
"Let's be flat." Zhao Zhen glanced at Su Wen: "You go down." β
Suwen stepped back. There are only two people left in the house, Zhao Zhen and Hu Qingyun, the room is full of fragrant mist, Hu Qingyun is only wearing a thin shirt, snow skin is looming, water eyes and red lips, and he looks like he is picking up.
Zhao Zhen sat down.
Hu Qingyun walked to Zhao Zhen's side and sat on Zhao Zhen's lap without warning, leaning on him with a weak and boneless body. Zhao Zhen frowned and pushed her away, "What are you doing?" β
This kind of thing to seduce him, Li Jingyan has done it, and You Shi has also done it, he thinks that Hu Qingyun is smart enough, and he will not have this kind of thought again with the experience of the past.
Why again?
After Hu Qingyun was pushed away by him, his eyelashes drooped silently and wept, Zhao Zhen's scalp was numb, and he asked, "What are you crying about?" β
Hu Qingyun wiped his tears with a handkerchief and said, "The prince didn't touch his concubine and two sisters in the past, because of Queen Jiarou. Now that His Royal Highness cares about the princess, he must no longer be obsessed with Queen Jiarou, why is he still ignoring the concubines? β
Zhao Zhen's face was not gloomy originally, but after hearing these words, he completely cooled down.
"Who allowed you to mention her?" Zhao Zhen stood up and looked at Hu Qingyun condescendingly, the corners of his lips were as cold as a sword. He stretched out his hand and pinched Hu Qingyun's chin fiercely, Hu Qingyun was in great pain, and tears slid down his eyes more smoothly.
"Could it be that the concubine is wrong? Wen Zhiluo is not 'once difficult to turn the sea into water' for His Royal Highness? Just because Wen Zhiluo is dead, can His Royal Highness give up this feeling? β
"Shut up!" Zhao Zhen was furious, his hand lost weight, and he threw Hu Qingyun out.
Hu Qingyun fell to the ground, his brows furrowed in pain, and cold sweat broke out. Although she expected Zhao Zhen to be angry, she didn't expect Zhao Zhen to miss and hurt her, she was in a sad mood, and she didn't know if it was because of pain or sadness, and the tears flowed more and more.
Zhao Zhen's eyes were gloomy, and he looked like a bloodthirsty and murderous god on the battlefield, wearing a dark gold and silver thread embroidered dragon pattern brocade robe, a black jade crown, and soap leather boots. He slowly approached Hu Qingyun, and with every step, Hu Qingyun's heart paused.
She was afraid that Zhao Zhen would kill her now.
Wen Zhiluo is a taboo for Zhao Zhen, but all taboos are untouchable. She is so bold today, it is nothing more than a gamble, as long as the prince is still obsessed with Wen Zhiluo, the princess is destined to be left out in the cold.
"When did you find out?" Zhao Zhen's voice was cold, as if it would freeze at any time.
Hu Qingyun secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "Your Highness's words and deeds, it is not difficult to find out after slowly pondering it. β
Zhao Zhen sneered, "Then the king still wants to praise you for being smart?" β
Hu Qingyun was silent.
"It's a pity that this king doesn't like people who are too smart. This time, this king doesn't care about you, if there is a next time-" Zhao Zhen's eyes suddenly turned cold, "Don't blame this king for not caring about many years of love." β
After speaking, he bypassed Hu Qingyun and walked out.
Hu Qingyun was shocked.
Su Wen heard some noises outside, and was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, and finally waited for the prince to come out, and his face was as bad as if he had to kill a few people to relieve his hatred.
Zhao Zhen glared at Su Wen, and Su Wen felt that the blood in his body had coagulated, and the whole person couldn't breathe.
Fortunately, Zhao Zhen didn't say anything.
Su Wen hurriedly went in to find his master.
As soon as he entered the bedroom, Su Wen was stunned - the master actually fell to the ground, his eyes were swollen like peach pits, and tears were still pouring up, as if he had been beaten by the prince......
Su Wen quickly shook his head, no, it won't.
"Master, the slave and maid help you up."
Hu Qingyun didn't have any strength at all, and fell into Su Wen's arms, and Su Wen used his strength to help the master up and send him to sit on the kang. Su Wen took out a handkerchief to wipe Hu Qingyun's tears, and persuaded him:
"Master, don't cry, your eyes are swollen and uncomfortable, the slave and maid will go and fetch a basin of water and give you a face."
After washing his face, Su Wen helped Hu Qingyun comb his hair again, Hu Qingyun didn't say a word in the mirror the whole time, but he stopped crying, and he looked very haggard.
Su Wen sighed: "You have been married for a few years, and it is the first time that you have been unhappy with the prince." The prince came to ask, you can explain it and it's over, why did it get to such a point...... Now Cuiwei Courtyard is proud. β
The corners of Hu Qingyun's mouth curved coldly, "She won't be proud." β
"Why?"
Hu Qingyun was silent.
She was the first to marry Zhao Zhen and knew best what kind of person he was. She stimulated him like this today, can he still be in the mood to fall in love with Wen Yixuan?
No way.
"You go and inquire, did the prince go to the plum garden."
