Hearing this, Hua Zhen raised her head to meet the crown prince's gaze, and saw that he had already retracted the appearance just now, and changed into a panicked demeanor, Hua Zhen only felt a chill down her spine.

I can't help but think of the things in my previous life, the reason why she stayed away from the prince at that time was because of Zhao Ting, and the second was because the prince made her feel cold.

Not long after she returned to Beijing, she had never had anything to do with Zhao Ting, originally according to the queen mother's meaning, although the queen mother's meaning was not clearly stated, but she wanted to let her enter the East Palace to serve the prince.

So she was often allowed to enter the palace, and this matter was also mentioned by Empress Renxiao when she was still alive.

It's just that she was still young at that time, and she was a little afraid in her heart, and she didn't know what would happen after marrying the prince, so she refused. After Empress Renxiao passed away, when she entered the palace to see the prince again, she still thought that they could be regarded as sympathetic to each other, and they should support each other.

It's just that she didn't expect the prince to beg her, and marry the general's son Chen Yanhao, and encircle the general to help him.

said that as long as she wanted, he would let the emperor give her marriage.

Although Chen Yan is said to be the son of a general, he is a gentleman who only knows how to fight cocks and lackeys and drink flower wine.

Although she had no parents at the beginning, she was also a noble girl raised in the palace, and she didn't let go of the princess with a good princess, but went to marry a gentleman, she didn't want to, so she had a dislike with the prince, and later King Qi's affairs, and no longer had dealings with the prince.

Although she had a suspicion at the beginning, but when she saw things more thoroughly in her life, she didn't hate him, this world was originally a death for money, birds for food, and everyone was desperate for their own rights, and the prince put forward that idea, just to consolidate his rights.

Moreover, the prince's original approach was quite soft-hearted, he discussed with her, and saw that she did not agree, nor did he persecute her.

If he was Zhao Ting, I am afraid that he would have ordered someone to tie him up and send him to Chen Yan's bed.

It is precisely because of this that although I don't like it, I don't hate it.

So when she heard about Zhang Ying, thinking of Queen Renxiao's friendship for herself, she would kindly remind her.

It's just that on top of the reminder, she still doesn't want to have too much intersection in her heart for someone like the prince.

So when the prince grabbed his wrist, he almost subconsciously frowned, watching the prince grab his wrist and withdraw it quietly.

Only then did the prince react, and immediately said, "Zhen'er, I was abrupt. ”

"If the prince's cousin wants to clear up the relationship, there is nothing difficult for him, so before King Qi makes it difficult to expose this matter, the prince's cousin first kneels in front of the emperor and pleads guilty. Ask the emperor for forgiveness, improper use of people, and the sin of knowing people without saying anything. The prince's cousin himself exposed this matter, even if King Qi wanted to implicate the prince's cousin, I am afraid it would be impossible. ”

Hearing this, the prince showed a look of embarrassment: "You mean to let me push Zhang Ying out by myself?"

Hua Zhen didn't speak, just looked at him.

Seeing him, he immediately shook his head: "No, no, Zhang Ying is one of the few ministers who supports me, if this is the case, I will push Zhang Ying out, I am afraid that it will chill others." In the future, no one will support me to help me, and it will inevitably fall into their hands at that time. ”

"Cousin the prince still wants to keep Zhang Ying?" Hua Zhen raised her eyebrows slightly.

"Is there a way?" the prince suddenly looked at Hua Zhen with a hint of expectation in his eyes when he heard this.

A thought flashed through his mind, Hua Zhen thought about the prince's thoughts, and immediately carried a little temptation: "The reason why the prince's cousin wants to keep Zhang Ying is because Zhang Ying is using the money obtained by the Su family, and a large part of it has fallen into the hands of the prince's cousin?"

The words suddenly made the prince's eyes flash with murderous intent.

Although it was a moment, it made Hua Zhen see it clearly.

Naturally, he understood in his heart, and immediately restrained the look on his face, and changed his words: "Zhang Ying's matter is revealed sooner or later, the prince's cousin should understand it in his heart, as for how to do it, presumably the prince's cousin has already made a conclusion in his heart." There is a lot of delay in entering the palace today, and Zhen'er still needs to go back early, for fear of causing unnecessary trouble. ”

said that he was blessed.

Seeing this, the prince knew that she was leaving, so he immediately restrained the look in his eyes, and saw that Hua Zhen's face had returned to its previous appearance, and said in a very gentle tone: "Well, you should be careful, if something happens, let someone enter the palace and send me a letter." ”

When she got out of the palace gate, Hua Zhen found that the prince's glance just now almost made her back sweaty.

When she guessed the prince's mind just now, she clearly felt the prince's killing intent, and that killing intent was very strong.

Although it was only for a moment, it made her see it clearly, and it would never be wrong.

A thought flashed through her mind, and Hua Zhen only felt even more cold in her heart.

Although Zhang Ying is the Zhan Shi of the James Mansion and a civil official of Sanpin, he used officers and soldiers to pretend to be mountain bandits and slaughter more than 100 members of the Su family, but I am afraid that he will not be able to do it.

Even if you have this heart, you don't necessarily have the courage.

If the prince instructed behind his back, it was in the past.

If this is the case, the prince knows about it, not only knows but also instigates, when he mentioned Zhang Ying's matter, the prince's reaction was at a loss, and he could pretend to be at a loss.

Thinking of the prince's thoughts, Hua Zhen couldn't help but be afraid from the bottom of her heart.

She thought that the prince's mind was deep, and it seemed that she was wrong.

Not only is he thoughtful, but this city is not as good as Zhao Ting.

Since this is the case, why did he lose to Zhao Ting in his previous life?

Thinking of these in her heart, Hua Zhen only felt that it was very chaotic, and the reaction shown by the prince today really shocked her.

If this is the real prince, how could he lose to Zhao Ting, and finally ended up miserable.

But the prince's reaction just now was what she saw with her own eyes, so she shouldn't be wrong.

Unless the performance just now was deliberately made by the prince to show her, but if so, what is the prince's purpose?

Thinking like this, Hua Zhen only felt scared.

It seems that not only did she not see Zhao Ting clearly in her previous life, but even the prince did not see it clearly.

The thoughts of the people of the Zhao family's royal family are really deeper than the other.

After a long time, I came back to my senses, and I saw that I was already standing outside the Chongwen Gate.

Because they came with the carriage of the Criminal Department, Prince Li and Li Yu had already gone back first, leaving only Hua Zhen alone, and there was no carriage waiting outside the palace gate. The Shen family hates her now, and they won't send a carriage to pick her up, so there is no one outside the Chongwen Gate.

Although it is not a warm day now, because I am wearing a lot of clothes, it is standing under the sun at noon.

A slight sweat appeared on his forehead.

Seeing that there was no carriage, and he didn't have any silver taels with him when he went to Jingzhao Mansion, he could only walk back first.

Immediately, he didn't talk to him, and walked towards the Shen family.

But before he had taken a few steps, he saw a carriage coming out of the alley on the side and stopping beside him.

couldn't help but look sideways, and looked at the familiar emblem on the carriage, it was not someone else, it was Xiao Huaijin, the son of Yanbei.

Xiao Huaijin lifted the curtain and looked at Hua Zhen, her eyebrows and eyes were full of smiles: "I haven't seen the county lord of Qinghe for a long time." ”

Hearing this, Hua Zhen stood outside the car and looked at Xiao Huaijin, and her eyes were a little more guarded: "I don't know where the prince is going?"

"I didn't go anywhere, I just thought that if you entered the palace from the Criminal Department, the Shen family must not have arranged carriages and horses, so I came to pick you up. Send you back to Shen's house. ”

"That's all?"

"That's all. Xiao Huaijin smiled and played with a jade piece in his hand, looking like a Ganoderma lucidum.

Hua Zhen didn't believe that Xiao Huaijin came to the gate of the palace specially to pick him up, not to mention how conspicuous his identity was in Beijing.

And it doesn't have to be that way at all.

It's just that Xiao Huaijin didn't say anything, and she didn't say much, just stood by the carriage and looked at him.

"County Lord, isn't Mo planning to just walk back?" Xiao Huaijin looked at Hua Zhen, a playful smile on the corner of her mouth.

Hearing this, Hua Zhen looked at the empty street, and there were heavy guards on the street at the entrance of the palace, and no one moved.

However, the Shen family is still a long way from the palace, and there are no idlers at the gate of this palace, but when they get to those lively streets, it will not be like this.

The lord of the county showed up on the street like this, and if people saw it, he would make people gossip.

Although there is some helplessness at the moment, the people in Beijing pay the most attention to etiquette, so they don't care what you are. If this deep boudoir woman doesn't have a maid to serve her on weekdays, she can't even get out of the door, if she walks back like this, I'm afraid that people will say that she is shameless when she shows her face.

If she is in Luzhou, she doesn't care, but now that she is walking in Beijing, she still has to be more or less scrupulous.

Thinking in her heart, Hua Zhen glanced at Xiao Huaijin, and the north wind had already placed his pedals and waited aside.

Seeing Hua Zhen's gaze sweeping, he immediately said respectfully: "County Lord, please." ”

Hearing this, Hua Zhen got into the carriage with the corner of her skirt, and someone lifted the curtain of the carriage.

Xiao Huaijin sat in the innermost, playing with the jade gourd in his hand, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was still there.

It's just that the smile is very shallow, only in the bottom of the eyes.

"The county lord of Qinghe hasn't seen him for many days, don't come unharmed. ”

Hearing this, Hua Zhen looked at Xiao Huaijin and her expression did not move: "I heard that Xiao Shizi has been trying to make friends with officials in the DPRK and China in Beijing recently, such a big move, isn't Shizi afraid that the emperor will be suspicious?"

Hua Zhen said, not afraid of Xiao Huaijin's appearance at all.

But it made Xiao Huaijin smile even more at the corner of his mouth, and gave a cold order, and the carriage drove towards the front in response.

Xiao Huaijin in the car said with a smile: "It seems that the county lord is very concerned about the whereabouts of this son, and he is so clear." ”

"Xiao Shizi is too careful, the prince is in the limelight, I don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring, who is coming to this mansion, who is visiting, there are people who can see it clearly every day, and even what they ate in the morning, the whole capital will know this morning, and there is really no need to bother to inquire. As long as you have nothing to do, listen to the next person talk about it, and it will be clear. Hua Zhen's words deliberately wanted to anger Xiao Huaijin.

I also want to remind him that now he can't say how many pairs of eyes he has around Jingzhong, and it is too risky to come to himself like this.

Xiao Huaijin pretended not to understand, but said with a smile: "The county lord can be idle and have nothing to do, not listen to the comments of his subordinates, but I like to listen to them talk about this world, this is not what is the intention." ”
