Chapter 486: From Turning Against Enemies to Holding Together for Warmth...
"It turns out that you have always been a person from the sky, so I underestimated you at the beginning! Miss Wan'er has been in the palace for so many years, and has been serving me, an old woman with no eyes, diligently - oh, I am really flattered to think about it now! Princess Jinling tilted her head slightly, her eyes filled with deep disgust.
"Princess......" Wan'er was a little helpless.
"Don't call me the princess, it's really tormenting me, I can't afford it!" Princess Jinling deliberately prolonged her tone, and her tone seemed extremely narrow.
Princess Jinling's endless sarcasm made Wan'er a little annoyed, and she twisted her eyebrows slightly, "The princess's dissatisfaction with Wan'er naturally understands Wan'er, but what good does it do for the princess to blame her like this, and Wan'er won't lose anything because of this; Didn't the princess ask Wan'er what was going on here? β
- Hmph, you finally can't hold your breath, right? After all, when you are young, no matter how deep your scheming is, you can't avoid an upset and irritable temperament.
"Yes, I just forgot to ask because I was angry, I don't know why Miss Wan'er is here today?" Princess Jinling said coldly.
Wan'er lowered her head and muttered, "Wan'er came here today to ask the princess to write a letter." β
"Letters? What letters? Princess Jinling was stunned for a moment.
Wan'er got straight to the point and said, "Of course, it's a letter to the lord of Huanyu. β
"Huanyu? ......" Suddenly hearing her daughter's name mentioned, Princess Jinling's heart twitched unconsciously and froze.
Wan'er raised her eyebrows, "Not bad." People say 'father and son are by nature, mother and son are connected', and after being separated for so long, doesn't the princess miss her daughter, doesn't she want to see her daughter with her own eyes, so-"
"So, I should write a letter to my daughter and ask her to come here and meet me, right?"
"......" Wan'er's eyes narrowed slightly, and the waves in the depths of her eyes loomed.
"The fox's tail finally leaked out, are you trying to take me hostage and blackmail my daughter into coming here to throw herself into the net?"
Princess Jinling laughed bitterly, "You hurt the prince, don't say anything about the people in the Jinling Palace, and now you want to use me, an old woman, to blackmail my daughter, your calculation is really good!" β
"Princessβ" Wan'er felt an unspeakable embarrassment sweeping over her, "So, does the princess agree to write that letter?" β
"You don't want to harm my daughter? Tell me, did Li Ruiyun send you that dog thief? You people are despicable! β
Wan'er said expressionlessly: "It's not about Gang Leader Li, it's Wan'er's idea to write letters." In fact, Wan'er is also sincere, but she doesn't want the princess to refuse bluntly, and she can't help but be a little ignorant! Although Wan'er has served the princess for many years and has a deep affection for you, there are some things that Wan'er can't control alone, if there is really anything unexpected when the time comesββ"
Princess Jinling glanced at her with a dear eye, "Wan'er, are you trying to blackmail me?" I advise you not to waste your efforts! Since the day when the prince died tragically in front of the palace, the Jinling palace was raided, and everyone in the palace was arrested and put in prison, I didn't plan to get out alive! And I can't live for a few days from this illness, what do you think I'm afraid of? In a word, killing and surviving is at your disposal, if you want to take me to blackmail my daughter, it's a dream! β
Hehe," a sneer broke out at the corner of Wan'er's lips, "Princess, when you were in the Jinling Palace, you were famous for your shrewdness and wisdom, and even the prince called you his 'female military advisor', why don't you have enough brains now?" Is it because so many things have happened that have stimulated you, or are you really sick and confused? β
"Wan'er, you...... What do you mean by that? Princess Jinling was stunned for a moment.
Wan'er said: "What do you mean, Wan'er just saw that the princess was seriously ill, and the princess treated Wan'er well before, Wan'er just wanted to do a little bit to fulfill your thoughts about your daughter, and I don't want to be interpreted by you as such an unbearable purpose......
"Actually, if we want to use you as a hostage to blackmail the county lord and them to come, we only need to send someone directly to the enemy camp to convey the message, so why bother asking you to write a letter to communicate the relationship between mother and daughter?"
When she said this, Wan'er's pale face was calm, only those dark eyes were incredibly cold, which made people feel chills unconsciously.
- It seems to be the same! Princess Jinling was stranded for a while. She couldn't help but look up and look at the woman across from her again.
Compared with the low-eyed and understanding girl before, she seems to have changed at this time, neither humble nor arrogant, indifferent and alienated, exuding a kind of calmness and coldness that should not be at this age.
What happened to her in the meantime that made her what she is? β¦β¦ The suspicion in Princess Jinling's heart became even heavier.
Wan'er ignored the subtle emotional changes of Princess Jinling, and only continued to speak, her tone was neither humble nor arrogant, "You are just a imprisoned princess of the former dynasty, you can't do anything except be at the mercy of others, it's ridiculous that you actually said such a remark, it's really ridiculous!" β
"You are the mother of the Lord of Huanyu, the former mother-in-law of Ling Yun, and they are close relatives of the Prince of Guangling - if they learn that you are suffering here and your life is on the line, they will definitely find a way to rescue you; Especially the Lord of Huanyu, who is connected to your flesh and blood, and when you are flustered, you will definitely be desperate and even do something out of the ordinary-"
"Please, don't say it! ......" Princess Jinling's voice trembled and interrupted her.
Wan'er stopped, a pair of gloomy sharp eyes grabbed her, and her tone was unpleasant, "What, has the princess finally figured it out?" β
Princess Jinling smiled bitterly, "It's the same if you can figure it out or if you can't figure it out, just like now you want me to write that letter, what's the difference between me agreeing and not agreeing?" The old woman is now just a prisoner at the mercy of others, and she can't do anything, so she can only plead with Miss Wan'er to help! β
"After talking for a long time, you can finally understand Wan'er's hard work......" The tip of Wan'er's nose condensed sour; Her throat choked and she couldn't help but choke on a series of violent coughs.
She covered the corners of her lips with one hand, pressed the wound on her chest with the other, her weak back bent slightly, her delicate body trembled, and she coughed so much that she could barely breathe.
"Wan'er, you...... What happened to you? Looking at the woman's painful appearance, Princess Jinling was a little at a loss for a while, she struggled to stand up and wanted to come over to help her, but she felt dizzy in front of her, and she fell to the ground first.
Wan'er's side took a long time to breathe, she felt that her throat was burning as if it had been burned by the fire, and there was no blood on her originally white face.
She supported her crippled body, staggered to the princess of Jinling, bowed down, and the two weak women hugged each other as if they were warm.
"Tell me, what's wrong with you?" Princess Jinling held her hand tightly and asked in a voiced voice.
At that moment, she felt that her breathing was painful......
