Chapter 5: Mystery
Qiuping is like sitting on pins and needles, and the heart beats like a drum, full of horror......
"What, do you want to resist the decree?" Wen Tingwan curled his lips and said lightly. There was no look of concern, but Qiu Ping was so frightened that he knelt on the ground.
"Princess, forgive, princess!" she shuddered and begged for mercy.
"Tell me, what's going on?" Wen Tingwan's voice was still soft, but her face was slightly gloomy. It wasn't until this moment that a little bit of real sharpness was revealed.
And Qiu Ping was trembling for a long time, and he didn't know how much saliva he swallowed before confessing to the mastermind behind the scenes:
"Yes, it's the county lord......"
The panicked demeanor is still undiminished. And when he reported, he kept dodging.
Was it excessive fright, or was it deliberately planted in a fluke? Wen Tingwan was undecided.
"Su Qinqing?" she bit the name, her eyebrows frowned slightly, and she caressed the corners of her eyes delicately, thinking in her heart.
This dissolute and willful sister-in-law, although the city government and viciousness are not as vicious as Wen Wanwan, it can be said that she wants to kill her, Wen Tingwan believes it a hundred times. Especially when she transformed into a princess......
But, Su Qinqing doesn't need to borrow the hand of his father, right?
According to Qiu Ping, this box of osmanthus cake was originally sent by Su Mengde, and she just secretly changed it to a poisonous one according to Su Qinqing's instructions. Fang Cai deliberately walked to the table and successfully attracted Wen Tingwan's attention to the pastry. After that, he took the initiative to take out the "poison cake" and persuaded her to taste it.
Everything seems to make sense, but Wen Tingwan just feels that there is another inside story......
Sure enough!
"You talk nonsense!!"
I saw that Qiu Ping's confession was suddenly interrupted by Lu Qiao, and the little girl was indignantly exposed, "Everyone in the mansion knows that the county lord has been busy messing with the noodle heads in Fengqi Pavilion these days, how can he have time to summon you? I see that it is obviously the conspiracy of the eldest princess, and you deliberately framed the palace, right?!"
As soon as this name came out, Wen Tingwan's heart palpitated, and he scolded without thinking:
"Bold!!slander the eldest princess, what are your intentions?!"
"Princess, what the slave said is true!" Lu Qiao was anxious, and his eyes were very innocent, "When you didn't return to the palace just now, I saw Qiu Ping and the eldest princess's maid talking to each other, and the pastries in the food box seemed to be ...... Like they changed?"
"Like?" Wen Tingwan bit the word and raised her eyebrows lightly, "That is, you're not sure?"
"I ...... I ......" Lu Qiao was so anxious that he was about to cry, and his little face wrinkled like a bun.
"Listen to Lu Qiao, don't mention this matter again!" Wen Tingwan narrowed her beautiful eyes like the moon, a ghostly light flashed in her ink pupils, and she lowered her voice and said fiercely, "Otherwise, you are deliberately provoking turmoil in the government!"
knows very well that exposing the conspiracy of the eldest princess at this juncture will not do the Su family any good, and it will be even more so for her path of harmony. Before meeting the envoy of Yan State, letting Mulan set off infighting in the government will only allow others to reap the benefits of the fisherman......
I heard that in the Great Xia and Shu Kingdoms, didn't there also be a princess sent to Dayan? Her competitor is not only the eldest princess! And the eldest princess of Mulan will not be stupid enough to get rid of her at this time, which is tantamount to proving to the world: Zhaoyue's death was done by me!
Therefore, Wen Tingwan seriously suspects that there is a bigger mastermind behind this matter: Xia Kingdom, Shu Kingdom, or ......
That person?
Thinking of this, seeing that the green warp on the side was still puffing up, Wen Tingwan walked in front of Qiu Ping. Raising her chin, he stared at her pupils for a long time with a sharp gaze before he spoke:
"The poison cake was handed over to you by Su Qinqing, right?"
The tone is slightly cool, and the eyes are obscure and deep. A simple sentence seems to have a profound meaning.
Shocked by her aura for a while, Qiu Ping looked at her in a daze, and it took a long time before he timidly squeezed out the word from his mouth:
“...... Be. ”
The master's eyes made Qiu Ping want to escape. So much so that the "advice" that came to her lips could no longer be spoken, and she only hoped that everything would be as expected by the eldest princess: if the matter is revealed and the blame is given to Su Qinqing, Zhaoyue will settle the matter.
Wen Tingwan's eyebrows moved slightly, let go of her jaw, opened the door and walked slowly to the outside. Contemplating the night, the pale cyan skirt ripples like spring water.
The two people who knelt in the room, one was deeply puzzled by grievances, and the other was sincerely afraid of luck.
After a while, I heard the master at the door resolutely say, "Take the cloak and go back to the Su Palace!"
"Princess?" the two were shocked, especially Qiu Ping.
"Are you deaf?!" Wen Tingwan scolded with a flick of his sleeves.
Qiu Ping was so frightened that he trembled: "The slave obeys, the slave obeys!"
And Lu Qiao didn't seem to be enlightened, and moved towards her on his knees, and persuaded bitterly:
"Princess, don't be angry! Although the county lord is narrow-minded, he has been hostile to you before. But since I heard that you were going to marry away from home, the county lord had no more evil thoughts, and she ......"
I want to say: Su Qinqing is just afraid that you will go back to your home and rob her of the position of county lord, and she is afraid that her captive faces will be attracted by your beauty.
It's a pity that Wen Tingwan turned a deaf ear!
"Don't hesitate to slander the eldest princess, but also defend Su Qinqing?"
She leaned down and glared fiercely at Midori. Then his eyes flowed, his lips moved, and he straightened his waist and said coldly,
"Lu Qiao, you and I don't seem to have a chance to be a master and servant. ”
The little girl of "......" was completely scared to death, and the tears of grievance fell straight down.
Let Wen Tingwan's eyes flash a trace of pity, she took a deep breath, brushed her sleeves and turned around, and lightly dropped a sentence: "Stay here and think about it!"
After that, he took the cloak in Qiu Ping's hand and said resolutely: "You, go back to the Su Wangfu with the palace!"
“...... Be. Qiu Ping was walking on thin ice, and he didn't breathe a sigh of relief at all, but he felt that the panic in his heart was greater than just now.
In this way, Wen Tingwan left the green Qiao she liked very much, but led Qiuping, escorted by the guards, and secretly went to Su's house.
The late autumn wind carries an awe-inspiring chill, slightly raising her like a waterfall and green silk......
Su Luo, before leaving, I avenged you, and I didn't live up to the body you gave me!
——
At the same time, the station.
The cold wind suddenly blew the curtain of the room, like a mist, faintly reflecting the slender back of the man in front of the window.
But seeing that he was dressed in a dark robe, with delicate and atmospheric piping embroidery and a wide foil gold belt, his dignity was faintly revealed. The satin-like black hair was tied high, the golden hair crown was clamped, and only a few strands of jet-black hair were swaying in the wind, elegant and elegant.
Standing straight in front of the window, he stared at the lonely moon in the night sky, his hands behind his waist sometimes clenched into fists, sometimes scattered. In the dark eyes, there seemed to be a trace of worry and remorse......
Until the door was quietly pushed open, a dark figure flashed in and knelt behind him:
"If the operation fails, please condemn the lord!"
"What is the sin?"
The man breathed a sigh of relief, and his fist-wrapped hands were completely released. I saw the corners of his lips hooked, and a trace of cunning flashed in his inky eyes like an abyss. Then he turned to the table and sat down, he held up a glass of wine, and said casually,
"I'm more concerned about her current attitude, is she swallowing her anger and taking care of the overall situation? Or is it going to get to the bottom of it and take the opportunity to get rid of her opponent?"
"Neither!"
The man in black fell, the man raised the wine glass to his lips and paused, his eyes flashed, and he was full of interest:
"Oh?
"That Zhaoyue has returned to Su Wangfu, as if she wants to push the boat down the river and let Su Qinqing take the blame!" The man in black who knelt on the ground was respectful and reported truthfully.
When the words fell, the man's eyes dimmed, he pulled the corners of his lips, and snorted bitterly and coldly:
"It's poisonous enough! ”
Gulp down the wine from the glass, and the glass slams on the table. He clenched his fists, and there was no hesitation in his unfathomable eyes, bursting out with a murderous aura......
