Chapter 293: Temptation and Honesty

Once hatred takes root in the heart, it will slowly grow into a towering tree. The kind of torture that lasts day and night, makes people want to be destroyed with the hated person.

For Zheng Peizhi, her original life was to be windy and rainy, only one person was the shadow of her brilliant life, one was an overly excellent sister, her sister had the aura of a proud woman in the sky, and under her sister's halo, she began to become bleak.

The other is Gu Tingjun, who poured all the people she fell in love with when she was a teenager, but she never responded to her feelings, and now she is married to another woman who is not as good as her, she is unwilling.

However, no matter how much unwillingness there was to Gu Tingjun, she gave up voluntarily at first, so there was no resentment.

If she wants to get out of her sister's aura, then she must snatch what originally belonged to her and make herself stronger, but unfortunately she is still not her sister's opponent and has become a joke.

But the resentment of being humiliated in the cold palace made her unable to resolve it.

She hated her sister who set up the bureau, and she hated the prince who had no scruples.

She regretted her choice, extremely remorseful, and these remorsees turned into grief and anger, making her want to die again and again, so that she could survive strongly, so that she could patiently wait for the opportunity for revenge.

And this opportunity may have come now, and it was the prince and his sister who personally delivered this opportunity to her.

Zheng Peizhi quickly asked people to go to the East Palace to ask Zheng Peilan to come back, but the result was that Zheng Peilan had something important to deal with, so she did not go back to the Xuanyuan Marquis Mansion, but sent the imperial doctor to come to diagnose and treat the Xuanyuan monkey.

For Zheng Peilan's abnormal behavior, Xuanyuan Hou was even more suspicious, could this matter really be related to Li Changlong?

Marquis Xuanyuan cheered up, since the prince did not dare to come to Marquis Xuanyuan's mansion, then he would go and meet him in person.

After Li Changlong summoned his subordinates to discuss the government, he ordered everyone to retreat, and at this time, the guards entered the inner report and reported: "Your Highness, the Marquis of Xuanyuan is here!"

Li Changlong's brows frowned: "This old thing, what are you doing here?"

After a while, he saw Xuanyuan Hou entering, although his hair was a lot whiter, but his spirit had recovered a lot, he glanced at Li Changlong expressionlessly, hugged his fists and said, "I've seen Your Highness!"

Li Changlong hurriedly got up and pretended to be concerned and asked, "Isn't Xuanyuan Marquis unwell and recuperating in bed? Why did you come here in person? If there is anything you want people to say, this palace will go over in person." ”

"Your Highness has a lot of things to do now, and I don't dare to bother Your Highness to make an extra trip. Xuanyuan Hou said, "The thing that Lao Chen has been suspicious about recently is nothing more than the cause of Quan'er's death, if this matter cannot be investigated, Lao Chen really can't sleep at night!"

"This matter should naturally be investigated!" Li Changlong hurriedly said, "But isn't this matter Gu Tingjun's doing?

"It is just speculation that Gu Tingjun did it, there is no evidence left at the scene, if I rashly seek justice for my son, I will inevitably fall into the trap of someone with a heart. Xuanyuan Hou said.

"It's not necessarily a trap. Li Changlong's eyes rolled and said, "Father-in-law, you might as well think about it, who has the motive to kill Peiquan today? Who has the courage and strength to kill him? Who else can there be besides the second prince and Gu Tingjun?"

"Motive?" Xuanyuan Hou's brows frowned slightly, "Your Highness also thinks that this matter must have been done by Gu Tingjun?" So what is Gu Tingjun's motive? Quan Er has never held any important position, what good is it for them to kill Quan Er?"

"It's going to make you mess up with your father-in-law, that's what they want to achieve. Li Changlong said, "Father-in-law must not indulge in the matter of Peiquan, now we have no father-in-law's plan and support, and we are forced to retreat by the second prince, and the effect of their desire to fight is not obvious?

"You're right, it's time for me to cheer up and avenge Quan'er. Xuanyuan Hou said, "But if it is true that what they did, this is too blatant, knowing that someone will suspect them, and still acting like this, is it really not in the eyes of me? Or is there something else hidden? There are more people in this world who can have the courage and strength to kill Quan'er, but there are not only two people, the second prince and Gu Tingjun!"

Li Changlong's face stiffened slightly, his eyes rolled for a moment, and he asked, "Does father-in-law have any other suspicious people?"

Xuanyuan Hou glanced at Li Changlong silently, then shook his head and said, "I don't have any thoughts now. ”

Li Changlong breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Father-in-law, don't worry, Brother Quan's matter is a matter of this palace, and this palace will investigate this matter to the bottom of it, so that father-in-law, you can be completely reassured." ”

"Hmm. Xuanyuan Hou nodded, "You have to worry more about this matter." ”

He got up and left, and as soon as he went out, his face was completely gloomy, judging from Li Changlong's reaction just now, I am afraid that this matter really has nothing to do with him!

What the hell is going on in his head! Why did he do something to Quan'er!

But first, there is no evidence in hand, and second, even if it is really proved that this matter is related to him, what can it be?

No matter how desperate he was to avenge Quan'er? Fighting to the death with Li Changlong, he was happy in the end and avenged his son, but what about the Zheng family? Now the hope of the entire Zheng family is on Li Changlong, if they bring Li Changlong down, what should they do? What should Pei Lan do?

Or should we be patient for the time being, keep Li Changlong's position as the crown prince first, and wait for Peilan's children to be older before making plans?

Now the plan, although there is more anger in my heart, I can only suppress this anger for the time being, and wait for the future to make plans!

Regarding the sudden arrival of Xuanyuan Hou recently, Li Changlong knew very well in his heart that he had come to test him, but he was wondering in his heart, how did he know that this matter was related to him? After all, he had not left any evidence against him, and all the witnesses who should have been dead were also dead.

Li Changlong returned to the East Palace, and his subordinates only learned that the people from the Xuanyuan Marquis Mansion had been here today, although Zheng Peilan did not leave the East Palace, but she had a few words with the people of the Xuanyuan Marquis Mansion, could it be that she asked people to take the news out?

Does this slut want to see her father as an enemy of her husband?

Li Changlong felt that since Zheng Peilan was married to him, he should plan for himself wholeheartedly, and should no longer favor the Xuanyuan Marquis Mansion, let alone reveal the news that is unfavorable to him!

Everything about this woman was given to her by herself, she should have loved herself wholeheartedly, but now she didn't expect to dare to betray herself, the more Li Changlong thought about it, the more sad and angry he felt in his heart, and with a body of anger, he quickly went to Zheng Peilan's room.

"Let's all go down!" Li Changlong shouted.

The men quickly retreated.

"Why is Your Highness so angry?" Zheng Peilan raised her eyes and asked lightly.

"Why am I angry, don't you have any sense of proportion in your heart?" Li Changlong sneered.

"Your Highness may as well say it directly. Zheng Peilan said, "There is really no need to be so yin and yang, it makes people feel uncomfortable looking at it." ”

Li Changlong stepped forward and grabbed Zheng Peilan's wrist, looked at her coldly, and said, "This palace asks you, did you pass on the news today?"

"What's the news?"

"Xiangxue's news. ”

"Your Highness doesn't believe me?" Zheng Peilan laughed disappointedly, "Your Highness, do you really have no trust in me at all?"

"If you hadn't leaked the news, why would your father have come to test the palace today?" Li Changlong said coldly.

"Father tempted you?" Zheng Peilan frowned slightly, "But I really don't know what's going on?" Your Highness might as well think about it, if I really want to say something to my father, do I need to sneak a message......?

Zheng Peilan closed her eyes and shed tears silently, sighed, opened her eyes and looked at Li Changlong and continued: "Your Highness admits it, is Quan'er really killed by you?"

Li Changlong's face stiffened, and then he shook Zheng Peilan's wrist away, turned it to the side, and said in a stiff tone: "What's the matter? Didn't you guess it a long time ago? What else do you ask?"

"Yes, I guessed, but I don't want to admit it, how I hope I thought too much, how I hope Your Highness can deny it today!" Zheng Peilan smiled bitterly, "I guessed everything that day, but does Your Highness know what the thoughts that first came into my mind?" I don't want my father to know about this, I am so sad in my heart that I can't believe that my husband actually killed my brother, but I still think about how to hide it for His Highness, how to cover up this matter, and how to prevent a rift between my father and His Highness!"

She walked in front of Li Changlong, looked into his eyes and continued: "Your Highness, since I fell in love with you, you have become the whole of my life, I have never betrayed you, I may have done something wrong, but everything I did was because I loved you! Your Highness, you really shouldn't doubt my intentions for you, you are my everything, I can give up everything for you, including my own life, how can I do something that can't be done to you?"

Li Changlong's face softened slightly, and Zheng Peilan continued: "Besides, I told my father about the matter, in addition to making my father hate His Highness, what good can I do? There is a rift between my father and His Royal Highness, but it is just to make the second prince and those people happy! For us, it is just a disaster, I can still think about the pros and cons clearly, Your Highness, please don't doubt me, I have always been one with you! Hurting you is hurting myself!"
