Chapter 077: Celebrating the Festival
Hearing an unexpected "I'm sorry", Huo Changan was stunned.
Why is it sorry?
Why did the third prince apologize?
If it is the plum garden falling into the water, the perpetrator is Princess Chengxin, the sister of the third prince, and has nothing to do with the third prince!
Why did the third prince bother to take the blame for his sister, is it because he didn't restrain and discipline Princess Chengxin?
If it weren't for the fact that Meiyuan fell into the water, it could only be the case of Ding Miao's impeachment of Concubine Chen.
At that time, she and the three princes had their own positions, and it was normal for the three princes not to believe her, after all, no one would think that Huo Changan would deal with Concubine Chen.
Therefore, no matter how much Huo Changan thought about this apology, he felt ashamed: "Your Highness...... There really is no need to apologize. ”
Mu Boshi shook his head: "It's true that there is something wrong with me." When I came to Ding Miao's previous case, I blamed you wrongly, it was my own assumptions, and my prejudices were too deep to doubt your motives. In fact, if you really want to harm the Shence Army, you don't need to go around such a big circle at all. ”
Huo Changan was dumbfounded for a moment, and said with a light smile: "Yes, if I want to harm the Shence Army, I just don't tell His Highness at the beginning, their conspiracy against the Northern Expedition is ready-made, why should I go around in such a big circle." ”
"So, I'm sorry," Mu Boshi paused, "It's about the Divine Army, and I care about it, but I ignore some of the simplest truths. ”
"If you care, you didn't mean it, and you didn't cause any bad results, so there's really no need to apologize." Huo Changan lowered his eyes slightly.
Indeed, although the third prince had a fierce attitude at that time, he did not do anything to hurt her or ruin the good situation.
It's normal to have different opinions.
It is indispensable to guard against others, and there is nothing wrong with guarding against suspicion of her.
Mu Boshi smiled bitterly with some self-deprecation: "Miss Huo blindly refused, obviously because she didn't want to forgive me." Then the more serious things I am going to talk about next, I don't know how to speak. ”
Huo Changan didn't understand: "More serious things? What could be more serious? What about Princess Chengxin? ”
Mu Boshi sighed: "Chengxin's matter, it is true that she pushed Miss Huo into the water, although she didn't mean to, but she can't escape the blame." But in the final analysis, this incident started because of me, and I should also give Miss Huo an explanation. ”
Huo Changan listened even more foggy, and she couldn't help but think about the situation before the sunset.
Yes, Princess Chengxin said at the time, saying that she was sowing discord between the third prince and the fourth prince?
Because of this, Princess Chengxin came to her to settle accounts, probably because she wanted to vent her anger for the third brother with the best relationship, so she was pushed into the water later.
So, that's why the three princes apologized?
Because in the final analysis, the three princes are the cause of the whole thing?
But—
"In the final analysis, the root cause of this whole thing is not in His Highness, but in the Four Princes. Even if you want to apologize, it should be the four princes who apologize," Huo Changan showed a hehe expression, "Although the four princes will not apologize for this, it does not mean that His Royal Highness will take all the blame." ”
Mu Boshi was a little surprised: "Miss Huo, do you already know what happened?" ”
The fourth brother went to the southwest attic to find him, and what the fourth brother said at the time, could it be that Cheng Xin told Huo Changan?
Huo Changan shook his head: "I don't know exactly what happened, but His Royal Highness is really dangerous to fight against the four princes in public at the Snow Hunt Plum Banquet, so it is very common to be hated!" Besides, the four princes originally regarded His Royal Highness as a thorn in their side, otherwise why would Concubine Chen design the conspiracy of the Northern Expedition against His Highness? ”
Mu Boshi will understand a little, Huo Changan didn't see or hear the details of what happened, but he had some guesses based on what happened before.
But—
"Miss Huo knows that the person in the southeast attic is the fourth prince?" Mu Boshi asked.
Huo Changan didn't want to hide it, and he really couldn't hide it: "Well, I know." ”
Now pretending not to know, it's too late, and she has crackled and said so much about the four princes.
"Now that I know, and I know that I will be hated for doing things against the fourth brother in public, Miss Huo still dares to ......" Mu Boshi didn't know how to describe it.
At the snow and plum banquet, Huo Changan's attitude towards the fourth brother really made him a little incomprehensible.
In his opinion, Huo Changan can tell him to save the Shence Army, and Niushou Mountain Racecourse can save Min Xiaochuan, and he should not be an indifferent and arrogant person.
But for the fourth brother, at the banquet of stepping on the snow to find plums, it was really not a good attitude, although the fourth brother did go too far.
Huo Changan's heart is empty now......
Is her attitude towards the fourth prince Mu Boyang really so bad?
Although she did have the purpose of annoying Mu Boyang.
But that can only be an objective reason to annoy Mu Boyang, such as stupidity, ugliness, arrogance and perverseness.
But it can't be a subjective reason, for example, she deliberately went against Mu Boyang and wanted to choke Mu Boyang to death.
Otherwise, if she is charged with murdering the prince, she Huo Changan will fall into the ice lake five hundred times, which is not enough to prove the crime......
Mu Boshi saw that Huo Changan's face changed and changed, and then thought of the four brothers' unusual actions at the snow and plum banquet-
"Miss Huo, let me take the liberty of asking, do you have any holiday with Concubine Chen and the fourth brother?" Mu Boshi said worriedly.
If there was no holiday, why did Huo Changan target Concubine Chen? Treading the snow to find the plum banquet and looking like he doesn't take the fourth brother in his eyes at all?
If there was no festival, why did the fourth brother target Huo Changan in the snow to find the plum banquet? Later, he was degraded to accompany Huo Changan, which was even more difficult to explain!
Huo Changan didn't expect that Mu Boshi would ask such a sensitive question directly.
She couldn't say, and she didn't know where to start.
It can't be said that she had a grudge against Mu Boyang in her last life, right?
When encountering a question that cannot be answered, the most common strategy is not to answer and ask: "Then I also want to take the liberty of asking, is there any holiday between His Royal Highness and the imperial concubine?" ”
Concubine Chen's murder of the third prince can also be said to be in order to help her biological son Mu Boyang fight for the dragon chair.
Although the three princes are disgusted by His Majesty the Emperor, they are still the three princes after all, and they are always a little troublesome in order to rule the country in courtesy.
The imperial concubine is different, the imperial concubine does not have a son of her own.
Therefore, there should not be much difference between the third prince and the fourth prince.
It's just that now His Majesty the Emperor is disgusted with the three princes, so everyone bets on the four princes, so there is no need for the imperial concubine to go against His Majesty the Emperor to support the three princes.
The imperial concubine only needs to be slightly biased towards the four princes to reach an alliance of interests.
And for such a bloody matter as murdering the third prince, there is no need for the imperial concubine to do it herself.
But Huo Changan didn't expect it-
"Miss Huo is right, I and the imperial concubine are not just celebrating the festival......"
