Chapter 20: Clues
Qing'er placed the items she brought back on the table one by one, stacking them on top of each other for five layers.
"Princess, look, it's your favorite food, the emperor is really the best person in the world for the princess, the princess has been gone for three years, and she still remembers her favorite food." Qing'er was fiddling with the box on the table and said excitedly, as if everything on the table was for her.
Tang Ruyan sat at the table, her eyes fell on those gorgeous boxes, but she was thinking about other things in her heart.
"Qing'er, are the princess and the emperor the same father and mother?" After Tang Ruyan finished speaking, she felt that it was inappropriate, and sure enough, Qing'er looked at her with big watery eyes, with a surprised face.
"Princess, what do you mean?"
"Oh, I mean me and the Imperial Brother, but from my compatriots?"
Qing'er shook her head, "No, the emperor is the son of Concubine Lan, and the princess is the queen's concubine, and she is also the only princess in the Southern Capital Kingdom." ”
Queen's Origin? I didn't expect her identity to be so noble, but none of this matters. She never understood why she was allowed to be a pawn since Tang Lan cherished her so much in everyone's mouths? However, since ancient times, women have always been just sacrifices for the government, and no matter how noble their status is, they can't change anything at all.
"Hey, what is this?" Qing'er picked up a box and carefully examined the contents of the box, "It looks familiar." Princess, isn't this your carry-on jade? ”
Hearing the word Qingyu, Tang Ruyan raised his head violently and looked at the box in Qing'er's hand. Green jade, sure enough, green jade.
Tang Ruyan motioned for Qing'er not to make a sound, quickly took the box in her hand, took the green jade in her hand and looked at it, and the expression on her face became a little more solemn. It was her green jade, the green jade that she hung on her child three days ago.
"Princess, what's wrong with you?" Qing'er looked at Tang Ruyan and asked in a low voice.
Tang Ruyan motioned for Qing'er to silence with her hand, beckoned her to come to her and whispered a few words in her ear, Qing'er nodded, her eyes flashed with doubt, but she didn't ask.
"Lord Wang."
The voice of the maid came from outside the door, the curtain was lifted, and Jiang Ruixuan stood in the room
Tang Ruyan glanced at Jiang Ruixuan coldly, and said in his heart: The action is really fast, but it is still a step too late. "Qing'er, put all these things away."
Qing'er saluted Jiang Ruixuan, cleaned up the things on the table as she said, and put them into a large wooden box next to her.
Jiang Ruixuan walked to the table and sat down opposite Tang Ruyan, facing the wooden box where the things were placed. "Is the princess too stingy, coming from her hometown to specialty, and not inviting the king to taste it?"
"The prince's status is noble, I haven't seen anything, I'm afraid that the prince won't look down on this item from a small country, since the prince wants to eat, of course it's free." Tang Ruyan smiled politely and waved her hand at Qing'er, "Why don't you take it out and let the prince taste it?" ”
"Yes." Qing'er promised to take it out.
"No need." Jiang Ruixuan said coldly, "I have something to say to the princess, and the rest of the people will retreat." ”
After receiving the order, Qing'er glanced at Tang Ruyan, saw her nodding and walked out.
Only two people were left sitting facing each other in the room, their faces were so good that they couldn't see anywhere, and they looked like their enemies were blushing when they met.
"I wonder if the prince has anything to say?"
"Tang Ruyan, you are the one who should have something to explain."
"Me?"
"That's you."
"I'm sorry, there's nothing to say."
"Tang Ruyan!" Jiang Ruixuan's tone carried a hint of forbearance anger.
Tang Ruyan raised her eyelids, she hated the expression on Jiang Ruixuan's face at this moment, and the macho sand pig doctrine was rampant, "Lord Wang, please say it directly, if it's okay - I'm a little tired." As he spoke, he got up and walked towards the couch.
When he passed by Jiang Ruixuan's side, he was pulled hard by him and fell into his arms. Tang Ruyan was defenseless, but the perennial agent instinct drove her, while sitting on Jiang Ruixuan's lap, her elbow was also against Jiang Ruixuan's Adam's apple, as long as she used a little force, she could end his life.
Therefore, it was not only Tang Ruyan who was shocked, but also Jiang Ruixuan.
Feeling the hard object against the Adam's apple, Jiang Ruixuan's face was difficult to see. "It turns out that this is the so-called deep hidden." A backhand block flipped Tang Ruyan's arm. "This king is becoming more and more curious, what else does this king not know about the woman who has been sleeping with this king for three years?"
The pain from his arm made Tang Ruyan couldn't help but snort, but it was only an instant, and after his body flipped around, he was out of Jiang Ruixuan's control. Being controlled is not something she likes.
"Am I going to feel sorry for you?" Tang Ruyan sneered and kept a certain distance from Jiang Ruixuan.
“……”
"Lord Wang, if there is nothing to do, let's go and find my son's whereabouts, otherwise it will not be good to be laughed at by the world." Tang Ruyan reminded. Seeing that piece of green jade, she already knew the whereabouts of the child, and sure enough, it was the same as she had guessed, today Jiang Ruixuan promised her to go to the post house and walk with her, did he also have the same idea as her, but unfortunately, he was not as lucky as her or not as unfortunate as her.
The brother who loved her the most secretly took her child away from the palace and handed her the child's tokens, and the purpose was obvious.
However, since she knew the whereabouts of the child. She doesn't have to worry about the safety of her child for the time being, it is obvious that the child has become a bargaining chip, controlling her bargaining chips.
Jiang Ruixuan stood up and looked at Tang Ruyan condescendingly, looking at her delicate face with deep eyes, as well as the calm and indifferent eyes on her face, countless times he had the illusion that the woman in front of him was not the original Tang Ruyan at all.
"Who are you?"
Tang Ruyan was slightly stunned, met Jiang Ruixuan's gaze, and the coldness at the corner of his mouth spread, "The prince doesn't even know the woman he has been sleeping with for three years?" Hehe, it's just amnesia. ”
"Is it just amnesia? This king doesn't think so. Jiang Ruixuan stared at Tang Ruyan's eyes, trying to find a trace in her eyes. But no, there was no clue, and in the depths of her eyes, he couldn't even see a ripple.
"The prince has his own ideas, and so do I." Tang Ruyan said coldly: "In your hearts, I am just a chess piece, why does the prince need to put a lot of effort on a discarded chess piece?" ”
The two looked at each other in silence, as if they wanted to see some information from each other's faces.
After a long time, Jiang Ruixuan slowly spoke. "Aren't you amnesia?"
"It's amnesia!" Tang Ruyan looked at Jiang Ruixuan and snorted coldly. "Amnesia is just the loss of previous memories, not even the loss of Zhihui."
"Do you want to tell the king that you are smart?"
"Indeed!" The indifference on Tang Ruyan's face was even deeper, almost frostbitten, "However, amnesia may be a blessing for me, putting aside those false memories, I at least understand the fact that I am a pawn." ”
"Where to start?"
"Everyone in the world knows that Tang Lan loves her only sister, maybe I used to think so, but now, I don't think so." Tang Ruyan gave an example, in fact, he also deliberately brought the topic to Tang Lan, if Jiang Ruixuan was smart enough, he should understand her good intentions.
"And what do you think now?"
"The prince is forgetful, I just said clearly, I am the identity of a chess piece." Tang Ruyan glanced at Jiang Ruixuan, and there was obvious sarcasm in his eyes, "Didn't the prince be ruthless to me because he discovered this?" ”
A look on Jiang Ruixuan's face flashed quickly, as if he wanted to defend himself, but then disappeared again. Explanation is not his style, it is all in the past, even if it is explained clearly, it can't change anything, not to mention that it is all facts.
"As a traitor, you should be grateful that you can stand here and talk to me instead of being locked up in a dungeon." Jiang Ruixuan reminded her of the wrong things she had done before.
"Maybe." Tang Ruyan was noncommittal, those had nothing to do with her, if it weren't for the death of the original owner, she wouldn't have come here inexplicably, she didn't want to investigate the past, she only cared about her future - whether she could live freely.
The stuffy smell permeated the room, and in the middle of summer, it was already easy to be irritable.
Maybe! Three simple words, but they sound like a kind of helplessness and desolation from the heart. Jiang Ruixuan glanced at Tang Ruyan, and couldn't help but feel sorry for her in his heart. As a chess piece, it is not what she wants, no matter how noble her status is, Tang Lan loves her, and finally arranges her as a chess piece by his side.
"Yan'er, have you ever loved me?" Jiang Ruixuan suddenly asked, and after asking, he became nervous in his heart, if she answered that she didn't love, then he was a fool before, if he answered love, then how to explain the rest of the matter? It was a heart-wrenching scene that he had seen with his own eyes.
Have you ever loved him? Tang Ruyan looked up at Jiang Ruixuan, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then sarcasm. "How ridiculous is this question? I even asked if a chess piece that was placed next to me had ever loved you? How obvious the answer is, it's a pity that the prince still doesn't give up. ”
"Smoke!"
"Since the day I lost my memory, I have not been the Tang Ruyan you are familiar with, if-you still have some affection, then don't embarrass me." Tang Ruyan looked at Jiang Ruixuan, knowing that her request was impossible, but she still couldn't help but look forward to it.
After just a few days of getting along, Tang Ruyan found that he didn't disgust her as she imagined, she was a little scared, afraid that the huge whirlpool of love would unconsciously spin her into it.
"What do you mean by Yan'er, do you think everything I've done is embarrassing you?"
Tang Ruyan turned her face away, "The prince should quickly find the whereabouts of the child, that is the most important thing." ”
There are some things that cannot be broken, and once they are broken, there is no turning back. And now, she can't entrust her future to the man in front of her, she has to rely on herself, so she can't reveal a little about the child, her opponent is Tang Lan, the unfathomable martial arts Jun Mo Ran.
