Chapter 398: Confess it all
"Radiant Spring." Shen Changge held the tea cup, fiddled with the lid of the tea casually, and said slowly, "Do you know why this palace is looking for you?" ”
"The slave doesn't know, please make it clear to His Highness."
Shen Changge glanced at her and said, "The day before yesterday, you did what the palace gave you to do?" ”
Huan Chun understood what she was talking about, and immediately knelt down with a thud.
"Your Highness forgives your sins, the slave and maid have been entrusted by His Highness, and failed to complete the things His Highness explained, and please punish Your Highness."
Huanchun's initiative to confess was a bit unexpected by Shen Changge, she thought that Huanchun would resist death and not admit it.
She quickly calmed down and asked, "It's been two days since the incident, why didn't you tell Hongu until now?" ”
"It's because ...... for the slave and the maid were afraid. Huan Chun lowered his head, not daring to look at her, "The slave is afraid that His Royal Highness will punish the slave if he knows that the slave and maid have not done a good job." ”
"Then why are you willing to say it now?"
"In the past two days, the slave and maid have been very uneasy because of this matter, and before His Highness went to the banquet, the slave and maid wanted to tell His Highness."
Shen Changge recalled that Huanchun did have something to tell her at that time, but because she was in a hurry at that time, she ignored Huanchun.
Putting away her thoughts, she said, "Then you should tell me, the day before yesterday, how did you smash the things handed over to you by the palace?" ”
Huanchun: "After His Highness handed over the matter to the slave maid that day, the slave maid thought that in the dead of night, she would quietly bury the things. But who knows, on the way to bury something, the slave maid accidentally met the eldest prince. The slave wanted to escape, but was caught by the eldest prince, and while pulling, the thing fell to the ground and was taken by the eldest prince. ”
As she spoke, she raised her head sharply and looked at Shen Changge eagerly: "The slave maid knows that this matter is very important, and she should have told His Highness earlier, but the slave maid was too scared, afraid of His Highness's punishment, so she hid it for so long." The slave and maid really shouldn't be, please punish Your Highness! ”
Shen Changge ignored what she said later, and secretly recalled Shen Tianhua's words in the main hall, which were not much different from what Huanchun said.
In this way, there are two possibilities.
One, Huanchun didn't lie, what he said was true.
Second, Huanchun and Shen Tianhua colluded and unified their rhetoric.
But whatever the case may be, Huan Chun is at fault for hiding her!
But the most important thing now is not to hold Huanchun accountable for concealing her fault.
"Really? Why does Hongu know that this is not the case? Shen Changge looked at her for a moment.
Her gaze was too sharp, which made Huanchun stunned.
Turning around, Huan Chun hurriedly said: "Your Highness, what the slave said is true, and I will never dare to deceive His Highness in the slightest." ”
Shen Changge took a sip of hot tea and said, "Okay, this palace will ask you another question, what is the matter between you and the eldest prince?" You took refuge in him? ”
Huan Chun was shocked when he heard this, his body couldn't help shaking, and his eyes were full of panic.
And her reaction fell into Shen Changge's eyes, which made her confirm the guess in her heart.
It seems that he really took refuge in Shen Tianhua, otherwise, how could he be so nervous and afraid?
Shen Changge's heart instantly surged with anger, and a terrifying coldness also appeared around him.
"Have you wronged you with this palace, or is this palace not good enough for you on weekdays, so that you want to betray this palace and take refuge in the eldest prince?"
Huanchun's face was pale, his lips trembled slightly, but he couldn't say a word.
She never expected that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would doubt her relationship with the eldest prince and question her face to face.
She really didn't know how to answer, and she didn't dare to imagine that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would believe her.
Shen Changge said again: "You should know that the most intolerable thing in this palace is betrayal. Hongu remembers asking you many times if you are worthy of Bengu's trust, and what did you say? ”
Speaking of this, Shen Changge paused slightly, and sneered: "You said, you will always be loyal to the palace, and you will never betray the palace." Is this your faithfulness and non-rebellion? ”
As she spoke, she lowered her voice and said in a cold tone: "Don't think that this palace doesn't know, it was you who personally handed over the things that this palace asked you to dispose of and handed them over to the eldest prince!" ”
She deliberately said this sentence to deceive Huanchun, after all, she wasn't sure how that thing got into Shen Tianhua's hands.
Was it as Huanchun said just now, Shen Tianhua got it accidentally, or did Huanchun deliberately give it to him?
And after she said this, Huanchun, who had never made a sound, suddenly spoke nervously and eagerly: "No! Slaves don't! Your Highness, I beg you to believe that the slave and maid were not handed over to the great prince! ”
Shen Changge didn't speak, staring at her for a moment, as if he could see through her heart.
This made Huanchun feel extremely nervous, and beads of sweat the size of beans oozed from his forehead.
After a few entanglements, Huanchun finally made up his mind.
"Your Highness, all the slaves and maids have been explained."
"Say."
Lowering his head, Huan Chun said weakly: "Slave maid...... Pregnant with the child of the eldest prince. ”
Shen Changge: "...... What did you say?! ”
This was really beyond her expectations, she never expected such a thing.
With his hands on his abdomen, Huan Chun whispered: "At first, the slave and maid were attracted by the gentleness and easy-going of the eldest prince because they had met the eldest prince a few times, so they fell in love with the eldest prince uncontrollably, but the slave and maid never forgot that His Royal Highness the prince was the master of the slave and maid. Until the eldest prince forcibly seized the slave maid, everything changed. ”
Speaking of this, she took a deep breath, and there was a bit of self-deprecation in her tone: "The slave and maid dare not tell His Royal Highness the Crown Prince about this, for fear that Your Highness you will think that the slave and maid are deliberately seducing and luring the eldest prince, and I am even more afraid that Your Highness will not want a slave." Later, the eldest prince asked for a slave and maid many times, and the slave and maid thought about resisting, but the slave and maid were just a palace maid, how could they resist and get the eldest prince? ”
Her voice was dyed with a little crying, with a little choked: "It wasn't until later that the slave maid accidentally found out that she was pregnant, so she told the news to the eldest prince." The eldest prince was very happy, hoped that the slave maid would give birth to the child, and promised to marry the slave maid. The slave and maid admitted that at that moment, the slave and maid were indeed moved. ”
She spoke very slowly, and sometimes paused, but Shen Changge never interrupted her and listened patiently to her.
It's just that inside, but there are indescribable complex emotions spreading.
She actually didn't want to believe that Huanchun would betray her, but now that she heard Huanchun's words, she knew that Shen Tianhua had done so many things behind her back.
She wouldn't believe that with Shen Tianhua's personality, she would really fall in love with Huanchun, and even be willing to marry Huanchun.
Sure enough, then she listened to Huan Chun and said: "But later, the eldest prince used this child to threaten the slave maid, so that the slave and maid obeyed his orders and told him everything about your highness." ”
