Chapter XVIII
I crossed my arms and looked at him, but for a moment, he looked away.
"It's not too early, I'll quit first, let's enjoy the delicious food myself-"
I took the opportunity to resign.
"Ming'er, I... I'll send you ......"
As he spoke, he got up, and before I could say the word no, the door opened first.
Come on, Zhou Lingqing is also.
"No need, the princess of this king, she has her own escort of this king, and Lord Chu should not think about the corner of the wall every day, this is not what a gentleman does-"
He appeared at the entrance with anger in his eyes and a low and cold voice. As if he was just trying to say this, he turned around and wanted to leave.
I had no choice but to follow him downstairs and jump into the carriage one after the other—I hope this guy doesn't destroy my body.
"Zhao Leming!" After he sat down, the thunder scared people to death!
"Here!" I replied loudly.
"Don't forget that you are now a princess! It is Prince Ling and Princess Ling who have sacrificed to their ancestors and worshiped heaven and earth! ”
I shuddered, "but you don't have to be angry like this, between us...... There is no husband and wife, why I am the princess, you also know it......"
Not to mention that I didn't do anything out of line, even if I really had a private meeting with someone, it wouldn't constitute a "green hat".
"You ......" he blushed, "even if it is a chess piece, it is also a chess piece of this king, and it cannot be contaminated by others!" ”
This guy is too possessive.
"Keep saying that Er Ming'er is calling, this king sees that your soul is going to be called away!" He grimaced and glared at me.
"Prince Ling, the dignified leader, actually came to listen to the corner of the wall, and he is not ashamed!"
I don't know where he started listening!
"Thanks to the king here, otherwise how can I catch it?" He was quite proud of the trip.
I turned my head and quietly glanced at him - all over the house, what is there to be proud of?
I only sulked all the way, ignored him anymore, jumped out of the carriage in front of the door, and ran to Xinyuan in three or two steps.
At this time, Xiao Jiu had already prepared the bath water, and when she saw me coming back, she happily stepped forward to ask for credit, saying that she had bought fresh petals from wherewhere, and it must be much better than before!
I looked at her flying features, and I felt that nothing was pleasing to the eye - this little spy!
I asked her to close the door before the "yin and yang" got up, I said Xiao Jiu, you are really a good Xiao Jiu of the prince, I thought that our master and servant were in deep love, I never thought that you and the prince are good brothers, it is simply an excellent ear report, where I went, he followed in a blink of an eye.
Xiao Jiu burst into tears and shouted that she was wronged, saying that she had indeed been with the prince for a long time and was loyal to the prince! But since she came to me, the prince has never let her talk back! What's more, I haven't seen the prince for a day today, where do you start with the ear report God?
Xiao Jiuyan is sincere, obviously I caught the wrong thief - could it be that Zhou Lingqing also sent someone to spy on me in the dark?
So after that, everyone lived under my scrutinizing gaze - the girl watering the flowers in the yard, the housekeeper who Zhang Luo had breakfast, lunch and dinner, and the little maid who went in and out of Xinyuan every day to do chores, all of them were meticulous in my place.
It wasn't until two days later that Sister Ah came to visit.
In the hall, her shoulders were straight, her eyes were cold, and when she saw me walking towards the entrance, she knelt down, "Chu Huai was sent to prison by Prince Ling, and I have no way to do it, so I can only come and ask the princess——"
When I heard that Chu Huai was imprisoned, I felt sour, but it hurt even more that she called me the princess.
I endured the discomfort and asked her to get up and speak, but her stubborn attitude really didn't look like she could stand up.
"When the prince returns to the house, I will go and intercede with him, but I need to know a thing or two about the ins and outs of this matter, you get up and say slowly-" I had to answer her first.
Only then did she get up and begin to recount the facts she knew, "Chu Huai repeatedly resisted and impeached Prince Ling in the court, and finally annoyed him yesterday, he found an excuse and sent Chu Huai to prison, Prince Ling acted like this, and really despised the royal law-"
Her eyes were slightly flustered, but her words were clear and clear, and she never stammered a word, as if she had practiced for a long time.
"As far as I know, it's not three or two times that Chu Huai has spoken disrespectfully to Zhou Lingqing in the court, how can it be that it was unbearable yesterday?"
Could it be that yesterday was the last straw that broke the camel's back?
"I have been better than you in everything since I was a child, whether it is reading, or embroidery, none of them have fallen behind your inferiority, what is strange and precious, it is through my hands that I can get to you, but why, I once had so much, but I gradually fell into the dust, and even now I can't keep up with you?" She closed her eyes, her eyelashes moved slightly, although she didn't know what to ask, but I have to say that her beauty is refreshing at all times.
Yes, the hard-to-find medical books, the exquisite clothes, the precious Shu brocade, and the only one of the South China Sea bracelets, were all sent to my room one by one by her own hands, she didn't seem to be rare those mundane things, she seemed to only enjoy the superiority of the high almsgiving, and she didn't want to share the joy of getting love, she just wanted to tell me that she was the one who was blessed, she had everything, she could give me what she wanted, and I was begging for life under her wings.
I am not worthy to stand side by side with her, and even less worthy to stand on a mountain higher than her.
"So since God doesn't open his eyes, I'm going to pull you down," she opened her eyes suddenly, laughing wildly, "You probably don't know, Chu Huai wrote a letter asking you to meet, and put it on the table in the study in a grand manner," her voice suddenly became sharp, and her face suddenly became extremely ugly, "It's like this, treat me as nothing-I, I, Zhao Leming, was originally going to be a prince and general!" Since I married him, I have wanted to grow old hand in hand with him, so I have tolerated and endured, but what has my humble virtue in exchange? How can his heart be full of eyes, even in his dreams, you are it? What do you have to remember him like this? He threw my pride and pride to the ground again and again! I know that his letter, his payment, you will not go to the appointment, so I offered to repair a letter for him, but when it was sent, Zhou Lingqing also had a share, but his letter was in Chu Huai's name-" She paused and said again, "But I never thought that Zhou Lingqing was not as angry as you, but he was angry with Chu Huai...... Zhao Leming, you are so capable, you can still be protected by people in such an act-"
I only took the first "princess" to hurt people's hearts and lungs, but I didn't know that the more chilling was behind.
"You...... Do you know that in the royal family, I am going to be sentenced to death for doing such an ugly thing? You are like this, desperately, even if you disgrace the Zhao family, you have to put me to death? ”
She looked at me, her face did not fluctuate emotionally, and she pursed her lips and did not intend to give me an answer, so she knelt down again after a long time, "Chu Huai is innocent, and please raise your noble hand to the princess." ”
She was still on her knees, but she still looked proud, and the prayer that came out of the mouth was more like a command, and I paced up to her, paused for a moment, and said, "I'll do what I have to do, but sister... What you have done is really not worthy of the 'sister' I shouted. You too, do it for yourself. ”
After I finished speaking, I asked Xiao Jiu to "clear the guest" and stepped out of the hall first. When I was about to go to Xin Yuan, I saw a woman waiting outside the house through the porch, her face full of fear, her hands tangled together, walking back and forth a few feet from the door.
They probably saw me, and saluted from afar with a flattering face.
This person is Chu Huai's mother.
Her former arrogance has long been gone, and it is not Mrs. Chu who is standing in the cold wind at this moment, but a mother.
But I only glanced at her, and turned to go to Xinyuan.
The weather is cold, the yellow maple leaves fly everywhere, but the ginkgo trees in the garden are not bald by the east wind, but change color, which has a different flavor.
I sat on the stone bench in the courtyard, watching the sky darken, the nursing home in Yuankou changed shifts, and Zhou Lingqing still couldn't come back.
Seeing this, I "moved" to his study, and in short, I wanted to talk to him today.
Xu is emperor lives up to his wishes, with the sound of "the sky is dry and dry, be careful of the fire candles" outside, there is a figure, hurriedly entered the Xin Yuan, only to hear him ask, how can there be lights in the study, Zifeng has not gone to bed yet?
The little guy on duty outside replied, "It's Madame waiting for you—
When he heard this, he went straight into the study, and saw me sitting on the chaise longue at the main entrance, his eyes were full of surprise, and he said with a cheap mouth, "More deeply exposed, why don't people like Ming'er who cherish life and pay attention to health preservation still not rest?" Could it be that I haven't seen this king for two days, and I can't bear to miss it? ”
"Ming'er"? Haven't this guy gone over yet?
"Lord Wang, why don't you call me by name and surname? Wouldn't it be more imposing? "I made a suggestion.
"What's wrong with that? He screamed, but this king couldn't scream? Outsiders can call it, but the husband can't call it? Where does this make sense? "He has long since lost the anger of that day, but he is still messing around.
I got up from the chaise longue and courteously invited him to sit down, "The 'outsider' has now been imprisoned, is the prince satisfied?" ”
"What should I do—yes, he is now in prison, and the king himself had him kidnapped—" he said with some pride, taking off his cloak and throwing it at me.
This guy smelled that I was going to ask him, so he made a "uncle" style, and I respectfully folded the cloak in my hand in a boxy way, and then asked, "I don't know what Chu Huai's crime is?" ”
"He framed this king, which is tantamount to contempt for the royal family, what is wrong with treating him for the crime of disrespect?" He felt reasonable.
"But it's not been a day or two since he stood on the opposite side of you in the court, and it's not disrespectful all of a sudden, lord, you don't have to be so high-sounding between you and me, right?"
Please, speak in a down-to-earth manner.
"Oh? This king doesn't understand what you mean - "this guy is confused".
"I think that day, Yunhelou, you heard a lot, Chu Huai tried to make me 'betray' you, which made you very unhappy, do you dare to say that it is not a personal vendetta of the communiqué?"
Isn't it good to open the skylight and say something bright?
He snorted, his eyes glowing with an eerie light, "So what?" You should be glad that you were still sober that day and didn't say any 'nonsense', otherwise you would have been in prison today—"
The official family is powerful, and he makes it easy.
