Chapter 169: Murderous intent in a head-on conversation
Hearing this, Hua Zhen knew that Zhao Ting was afraid that he was waiting here, and he must have already known that he had gone to the East Palace.
Immediately, his eyes sank slightly: "Since it is an invitation from His Royal Highness King Qi, Hua Zhen has no reason to refuse, but I don't know where His Royal Highness King Qi is going?"
"You'll know when you get there. Zhao Ting said, motioning for Hua Zhen to get into the carriage.
Hua Zhen didn't want to ride with him, and just wanted to refuse, but listened to Zhao Ting speak: "If my father learned that the county lord had hidden Jin Wuwei's sight and left the county lord's mansion, I don't know what my father would think." ”
As he spoke, he looked at Hua Zhen with a bit of danger in his eyes.
Seeing this, even if Hua Zhen didn't want to, there was no way.
If Zhao Ting tells the emperor about this, not to mention her visit to the prince, I am afraid that Xiao Huaijin will be implicated.
After all, she came out of Xiao Huaijin's villa, thinking of Xiao Huaijin, Hua Zhen could only endure the disgust in her heart and got into Zhao Ting's carriage.
In the carriage, Hua Zhen looked at Zhao Ting leaning on the soft pillow and looking at herself, her eyes were full of inquiring, and she remembered that when Zhao Ting asked him to go back to the Ning family and ask the Ning family for help, he was also like this.
Thinking of this, Hua Zhen only felt that her heart was aching, and the appearance of Zhao Yuankang's tragic death appeared in her mind.
I couldn't help but clench my hands hard in my sleeves.
Fingertips pinched into the flesh to calm yourself down.
Zhao Ting looked at Hua Zhen with her head down, but she didn't know what she was thinking, so she just asked softly: "Why do I always feel that the county lord of Qinghe is hostile to me, from the first time I saw you in the Shen family. ”
Hearing this, Hua Zhen endured the hatred in her heart, and made her voice sound unusual: "King Qi is too careful, Zhen'er and King Qi have no festivals, so naturally there will be no hatred." ”
"Yes, I thought that the time when the Shen family calculated you and me, there was a holiday between you and me. Zhao Ting said and approached Hua Zhen.
Hua Zhen immediately dodged backwards, Jiang Fu saw this, blocked between Zhao Ting and Hua Zhen, and said with a cold face: "His Royal Highness King Qi, please respect yourself." ”
Hearing this, Zhao Ting looked at Jiang Fu, and the coldness flashed in his eyes, but it didn't make Jiang Fu retreat in the slightest.
Just when Hua Zhen thought that Zhao Ting was going to make a move, Zhao Ting suddenly laughed: "I really didn't expect that there would be such a timid servant girl by the side of the county lord of Qinghe, and it really made this king look like it." ”
Seeing Zhao Ting talking like this, Hua Zhen was even more disgusted in her heart, but she knew that she was now in Zhao Ting's car, and it was not a wise choice to compete with him for a long time at this time.
just looked at Zhao Ting coldly and didn't speak.
Seeing this, Zhao Ting turned around and leaned on the pillow, and didn't say anything more, just looked at Hua Zhen, the look in his eyes was very complicated, so that people couldn't guess his thoughts.
The carriage walked for a while, but just when Hua Zhen was about to hold back the hatred in her heart, it stopped.
Hua Zhen was helped out of the car by Jiang Fu, and then saw that Zhao Ting actually asked someone to take her to Tianxianglou.
Suddenly, his heart tightened, but his face was silent.
Taking advantage of Zhao Ting's lack of attention, he glanced at Jiang Fu.
Jiang Fu immediately understood.
Zhao Ting looked at Tianxianglou, and then said to Hua Zhen: "When you were in Beijing, you were either detained in the mansion, or accompanied the queen mother in the palace, but I am afraid that you have not come to Tianxianglou to taste the food here." ”
Hearing this, Hua Zhen didn't speak, just looked at Zhao Ting.
"If you don't say it, I'll treat you as if you haven't eaten, so let's go to this Tianxianglou today. ”
As he spoke, he walked towards Tianxiang Building.
The guys from Tianxianglou saw that a guest had arrived, and immediately stepped forward to greet him.
Zhao Ting is a regular customer here, so he doesn't need to ask, and leads Zhao Ting to the private room upstairs.
When he turned his head and looked at Hua Zhen Jiangfu who was following behind Zhao Ting, the guy was immediately stunned.
However, it was only a moment before he reacted, looking at Jiang Fu's eyes, he immediately pretended to be stupid: "How come this girl has never seen it, she looks really good." ”
Hearing this, Zhao Ting turned his head and looked at the guy staring at Hua Zhen, and suddenly a trace of anger flashed in his eyes: "I'm afraid you don't want to die." ”
Suddenly frightened, the guy hurriedly made amends: "A small momentary gaffe, please forgive the prince." ”
Zhao Ting didn't speak, glanced at Hua Zhen, saw that she didn't care, walked past the guy, waved his hand at the entourage, and followed.
When the private room was done, the shopkeeper of Tianxianglou came over to apologize to Zhao Ting in person.
Serving Zhao Ting, he ordered a few dishes and took people down.
Hua Zhen watched Zhao Ting sit at the table, poured her a cup of tea, and poured herself a cup of tea.
He asked in a cold voice, "His Royal Highness King Qi invited Hua Zhen here today, it should not only be to taste the food of this Tianxianglou. If you have anything to say, please ask His Royal Highness King Qi to say it directly, His Royal Highness also knows that Hua Zhen came out secretly, and if she goes back late, she is afraid that someone will find out. ”
"The county lord was found to be the county lord's business, what does it have to do with me. ”
"It has nothing to do with His Royal Highness, I just want to tell His Highness, if His Highness has nothing to do, Hua Zhen will have tasted this meal, and there are other things today, I can't accompany him, and I hope His Highness will forgive my sins." Hua Zhen said and stood up.
Zhao Ting smiled and said, "You don't want to sit with this king like this?"
"I just don't want to go around in circles with His Royal Highness King Qi. ”
"It's a good one who doesn't want to go around in circles with this king. Hearing this, Zhao Ting looked at Hua Zhen, playing with the empty cup in his hand, and there was a bit of a dangerous smile in his eyes.
"The county lord is a smart person, from the first time you fought with the Shen family, you can see that the county lord is not only smart, but also sensible and knows how to advance and retreat. Since the county lord didn't want to talk nonsense with this king, then this king also said it directly. ”
"At present, the prince's situation The county lord also sees that whether it is the prince or the Ning family, it is difficult to protect themselves now. Although the county lord was named the county lord of Qinghe, he was alone in this capital, and he was afraid that it would be a little difficult. If the county lord is willing, the king is willing to ignore the past suspicions, and ask his father to marry the county lord as Princess Qi. Although a princess of Qi is not as respected as the crown princess, it is always a thousand times stronger than a waste princess, what do you think, county lord?"
Hua Zhen didn't expect that Zhao Ting specially waited at Yong'anmen just to say this to herself.
She originally thought that she had ruined his good deeds again and again, but he was afraid that he already hated himself in his heart, and wanted to get rid of it as soon as possible.
Unexpectedly, he still had this idea.
Hua Zhen couldn't help but sneer: "His Royal Highness King Qi married Hua Zhen's cousin as a side concubine, and now he wants to marry Zhen'er again, aren't you afraid of offending the Shen family and your cousin because of this." ”
Hearing this, the corners of Zhao Ting's mouth raised slightly: "If you want, you don't need to worry about this, since this king can grant you the position of concubine, he can naturally tell them to shut up obediently." ”
"But what if I don't want to?" Hua Hao said, looking at Zhao Ting with a slight raised eyebrow.
I saw a trace of ruthlessness flashing in Zhao Ting's eyes: "Then don't blame me for being ruthless!"
"Hehe, listening to His Royal Highness King Qi's meaning, it seems that His Highness once had feelings for me. Please also ask Your Highness not to speak like this in the future, for fear it will cause people to misunderstand, and when the time comes, you can't tell clearly, Your Highness doesn't want a reputation, and Zhen'er still wants it. Hua Zhen said with even more coldness on the corner of her mouth.
"Hua Zhen, don't be embarrassed, believe it or not, I will make you regret it at any time, let you kneel down and beg me!" Zhao Ting originally thought that he said this, Hua Zhen is a smart person, he should know how to judge the situation, and he should know that the prince is weak now.
He is several times stronger than the prince in every aspect, and he should know how to choose.
didn't expect her to speak like this, and suddenly his face was even more ugly.
I couldn't help it anymore, looking at Hua Zhen, her eyes were full of anger.
Seeing that he only said a few words, Zhao Ting couldn't hide his true face, and Hua Zhen couldn't help but sneer in her heart.
laughed at himself, such a Zhao Ting, who had deceived himself for so many years.
I even believe that he is sincere to himself.
The more I think about it, the more I feel ridiculous, pathetic, and pitiful.
There was a hint of a smile on his face, with a coldness that rejected people thousands of miles away: "Your Highness, you can try it and see if I will kneel down and beg Your Highness." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the guy outside the door knocked on the door with food.
When Zhao Ting heard this, he just said one word coldly: "Get out!"
Suddenly frightened, the guy at the door didn't dare to stay any longer, and hurriedly left with the food.
When there was no movement outside the door, Zhao Ting looked at Hua Zhen: "Do you know how many times I gave you a chance, otherwise you would have died in Luzhou, do you understand?"
"According to His Highness's intentions, Zhen'er has to thank His Highness for not killing. The sneer on Hua Zhen's face was even worse when she heard this.
looked at Zhao Ting: "Since you asked Shen Yuxin to buy Huayue to do it to me in Luzhou, our Liangzi has already been concluded." Since I have talked about this today, then please Your Highness don't have any thoughts of marrying me as a concubine in the future, there is a deep hatred between you and me, as Your Highness said From the first time Your Highness saw me, I hated you, not for me, just because I almost died in the hands of you and Shen Yuxin several times!"
Hua Zhen said and crossed Zhao Ting: "Since the enmity between us is as deep as the sea, naturally there is no need to stay, otherwise not only His Royal Highness will not be able to eat, but Hua Zhen will also lose his appetite." Today's matter, Your Highness tells the emperor, or if you don't tell the emperor, in the future, please don't ask Your Highness to sit with me again, I won't be happy to find myself. ”
As he spoke, he pushed the door and went out.
Jiang Fu was stopped by Zhao Ting's people and guarded outside, and when she saw Hua Zhen coming out, she hurriedly greeted her: "County Lord." ”
Hearing this, he saw Hua Zhen and said softly: "Go back." ”
nodded immediately, and followed Hua Zhen out of Tianxiang Building.
In the private room, Zhao Ting listened to the movement outside, and the ruthlessness on his face receded.
He didn't ask back, "Can you see clearly?"
Hearing this, the guard standing at the door immediately responded respectfully: "I can see clearly, when the guy from Tianxianglou saw the county lord, he didn't look unusual, but when he saw the servant girl beside the county lord, his face changed. Looking at the appearance, it seems that he knows the servant girl next to the county lord, and when he saw the servant girl's eyes, he immediately changed his appearance, and his subordinates looked at the identity of the servant girl next to the county lord and was afraid that it was not ordinary. ”
Hearing the bang, Zhao Ting put the cup in his hand on the table.
"Sure enough!"
After speaking, Zhao Ting looked at the tea on the table that Hua Zhen had not moved, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then waved his hand.
The guard immediately stepped forward: "Lord Wang." ”
"Go, no matter what it takes, you must kill her!"
Hearing this, the guard paused, looked at the coldness on Zhao Ting's face, and didn't dare to hesitate for a moment, and immediately said, "Yes!"
