Chapter 238: Questioning the Truth
Li Changlong returned to the East Palace, Zheng Peilan was coaxing the child to sleep, this face, which has always been beautiful, made him feel two points strange and two points hateful at this moment.
Suddenly there was a lot of impatience in his heart, and at this moment he remembered someone, a person he had never thought of in more than a year.
Lin Qiangyin, this woman he never took to heart, and she never grieved for him for a moment after her death, I don't know why it climbed into his heart at this time.
A killer with ruthless means, she will never be soft when she kills, she will not be a kind and simple woman, but every time she sees herself, there is innocence and honey in those eyes, so that people can't associate her with the terrifying female killer.
If she was just an ordinary woman, maybe she wouldn't mind keeping her by her side, but her survival was a gift of her own soft-heartedness, and she knew too many of her secrets, if she learned her life story one day, she would inevitably become a big trouble. But a man who died of his own, and who died was dead, and he had no shortage of women and faithful servants.
But why, this woman's face reminded him again, of the pair of eyes without any seeking, a pair of eyes with a look of expression.
There are a lot of women in themselves, and there will be more in the future, and I don't know how many of them will be able to look at themselves with those eyes?
Zheng Peilan noticed the impatience on Li Changlong's body, she raised her eyes and glanced at it, her eyes turned slightly, and said with a smile: "Your Highness, you see, Your Royal Highness is becoming more and more similar to you, look at your eyes, they are exactly the same!"
"It's all this time, are you still in such a mood?" asked Li Changlong with a cold face.
"Does Your Highness want the concubine to cry and mourn? Wouldn't Your Highness be even more troubled when she sees it?" Zheng Peilan said, "The concubine knows that His Royal Highness is troubled by the matter of the crown princess, but this should life has to go on, doesn't the concubine also hope that Your Highness can be happier? Besides, this princess is not because of the concubine, why does His Highness lose his temper with the concubine?"
"Do you dare to swear to the sky, does Qianruo's matter really have nothing to do with you?" Li Changlong forced a few steps forward and said, "You are good at using poison, so that Qianruo has signs of pregnancy is just a small means, Qianruo has always been timid, she doesn't have the courage to use pregnancy to fix her favor, besides, she is now the crown princess, and it is only a matter of time before she gives birth to a child, there is no need to take risks, then the royal blood is a joke!"
"Your Highness suspects that this matter has something to do with the concubine?" Zheng Peilan raised her eyebrows slightly, "The concubine grew up with His Highness, isn't His Highness willing to give the concubine so little trust?"
"It's because we grew up together that this palace can know who you are, you have always been jealous, you can't tolerate others, no matter what happened to your sister before, or the matter of the crown princess, there are some things that this palace thinks of the love between us, and you are deep and righteous to the palace, you can turn a blind eye, but you can't go too far, and repeatedly challenge the bottom line of this palace. Li Changlong said.
Zheng Peilan's face still had a shallow smile, and said: "Your Highness suspects that the matter of the crown princess's fake pregnancy is related to the concubine's body, and the crown princess uses the perfume to confuse His Highness, and the crown princess uses a pillow to create a pregnancy image, is it also the concubine's instigation? Your Highness is so angry, not to seek justice for the crown princess, but because I ruined Your Highness's plan, right? And now Prime Minister Bai may have other concerns, and he won't do as hard as before, right?"
After a pause, Zheng Peilan continued to smile slightly: "But Your Highness doesn't have to worry, the concubine will always be by Your Highness's side." The father has ambitions, and the concubine admits this, but as long as the concubine is there, the father's ambition will never become a reality, because the concubine has been His Highness's person since she married His Highness, and she will naturally be wholeheartedly towards Your Highness. ”
She looked at Li Changlong's eyes and continued: "And in terms of His Royal Highness's current situation, although my father has made His Royal Highness the crown prince, my father is still wary of my father, and my father does not like the queen mother very much, so he abolished the prince's heart, and the father may not have thought about it, and after the queen mother killed Su Cheng'an, it must have made the father even more disgusted, and it also affected His Royal Highness's status in your father's heart." However, the military power in his father's hands still made his father jealous, as long as His Majesty did not make a big mistake, his father would not dare to abolish the prince. And in between, His Royal Highness still doesn't think about how to suppress his father, but develops his own strength, until it is so strong that his father does not dare to abolish the prince's heart. ”
Li Changlong also looked at Zheng Peilan's eyes, there was desire, calculation, and affection in these eyes, all of which were intertwined, but the innocence before he was gone, made him even start to doubt himself.
He lifted her chin and asked, "Is everything you doing for the main palace or for the back position?"
Zheng Peilan smiled and said, "It's not only for His Highness, but also for the posterior." But Your Highness is above everything, for Your Highness, I can give up my life, what is the posterior?"
Li Changlong laughed lowly: "This is Zheng Peilan, the eldest lady of the Zheng family, who always knows clearly what she wants." As long as you still have this affection in your eyes, this palace will give you everything you want. If one day all you have left is calculation in your eyes, this palace will also take back everything that you have been given. ”
"What about Your Highness, did you marry me for my father's support or because you love me?" Zheng Peilan smiled.
"From the moment I was attracted by your beauty, Hongu wanted to get you. Li Changlong said.
"For His Royal Highness, Pei Lan may be no different from other women, it's just a toy you want to get, maybe I'm more valuable, Your Highness wants a woman's sincerity, but Your Highness at least has to pay her sincerity, right? But Your Highness doesn't have to doubt the concubine's sincerity, from beginning to end, the concubine's heart to His Highness has not changed, even if Your Highness hurts the concubine again and again. The sorrow in Zheng Peilan's eyes flashed, and then she hooked her lips and asked, "But why is Your Highness so emotional today?"
"Nothing. Li Changlong said, "I just remembered some trivial past events, so I don't want to mention it." ”
"The concubine knew that His Highness was in a bad mood, so she prepared a gift for His Majesty. Zheng Peilan smiled and clapped her hands, only to see three women in light clothes slowly walking out.
These three women are all beautiful women with all kinds of amorous feelings, and they are all holding a pipa in their arms, and they kneel: "See Your Highness." ”
Wu's language is soft and thick, and the curves outlined between the blessed bodies make people's hearts ape.
"Does Your Highness still like it?" asked Zheng Peilan with a smile.
Perrin bothered. ”
"They play the lute well, and Your Highness can enjoy it. Zheng Peilan said, "In the future, they will follow His Highness to serve." Didn't Your Highness go to Nanjing the year before last? They also came from Nanjing, and Your Highness can catch up with them!"
"When you mention it, it reminds me of a lot of past events. Li Changlong's mood had already flown when he saw the beauty, where was there any depression, "The three of you came with the palace to ......"
Zheng Peilan watched Li Changlong leave with the three beauties, the smile on the corner of her mouth gradually condensed, and there was a touch of coldness in her eyes.
Yuguo, Prime Minister's Mansion.
"What are you talking about?, Your Majesty has been having dinner with Miss Xia these days?" Qi Yingying frowned, "This Qingxin Palace is so far away from the Linxia Palace, he has that leisurely feeling, and he asked him to play a game of chess with me on weekdays, but he shirked and said that he was not available." ”
"Not only that, after dinner, Your Majesty also accompanied Miss Xia to read books and practice swords, and every time Miss Xia drove Your Majesty, Your Majesty left. The servant said, "Miss, you have to think of something." ”
"It's just a country girl brought back by His Majesty, Miss can't be so worried. The other maid said, "Miss, your status is noble, and your Majesty's wedding is imminent, and you are the future queen, and she is only a firefly and a sunshine compared to you, Miss." Your Majesty is fresh now, and when this freshness passes, the person surnamed Xia will be forgotten by His Majesty sooner or later. ”
"That Xia Xue is not an ordinary woman, although her brain is not good, she can't remember things, and she is not enough Judging from her words and deeds, she is definitely not an ordinary person. Is she just the niece of a county magistrate? I think this Xia Xue's identity is really suspicious, and I must send someone to find out carefully. Qi Yingying said, "Your Majesty values the promise, since he said that he would marry me, he will not break his promise." But I want to be his wife, not his queen. He has such thoughts about others, but he lacks patience for me, I'm afraid that he still hasn't cared about it in the end, let's go to Linxia Palace to see what this little girl can do to make His Majesty so special to her!"
Qi Yingying then brought people into the palace and came to Linxia Palace.
At this time, the sun had set, and I saw Xia Xue practicing swords in the courtyard, this swordsmanship was very handsome, which made Qi Yingying envious, but she was even more puzzled in her heart, what kind of identity did this woman know martial arts.
"Okay!" Qi Yingying clapped her hands and applauded, "What a handsome skill! Ah Xue's skills are so extraordinary, I don't know who I learned it from?"
Su Ju'an stopped beckoning in his hand, thought about it seriously when he heard the words, and said, "I don't remember." As soon as I got the sword, those moves naturally popped out, and I don't remember who taught me!"
