Chapter 19 Cup, Bow and Snake Shadow Grass and Trees are all soldiers
Cheng Jiyuan's hand hidden under the sleeve clenched for a moment, but his face was still light, dignified and comparable to everyone's beautiful textbook.
"Daddy, I must have heard that on the way back, our group encountered an assassination incident, so we ......"
Lowering her head, Cheng Jiyuan seemed to be unwilling to make any more memories.
Every word and every syllable Cheng Yuan tried his best to do his best, but he was afraid that Chen Daoyuan would find out half a clue.
Chen Daoyuan frowned slightly and looked at his daughter again, but for some reason there was something strange.
took a deep breath, and just as he was about to speak, a little maid's whispering voice came from outside the door: "Grandpa, the slave is here to deliver tea." β
The clenched fist slowly loosened, and Chen Daoyuan didn't want to wipe his daughter's face in front of his subordinates, so he temporarily revealed it.
The little maid carried the tea tray, buried her head in the room, arranged the tea for the master, and bowed to leave.
Chen Daoyuan just wanted to take a sip of tea, but when he saw his daughter's standard smile like a puppet, a little shame rose in his heart.
put down the teacup, and then spoke: "Yuan'er, no matter what happens, you must always remember that your father and brother will never harm you." β
Of course, Cheng Jiyuan knows this truth.
But Daddy is so dedicated to himself, how can she get caught up in them?
Burying her head and biting her lip, Cheng Jiyuan didn't speak for a long time.
However, the secrets blocked in the heart are like a fish in the throat, not up or down, and it is uncomfortable.
"Hey, Daddy, what's the tea this time? Why does it smell strange? β
Cheng Ningxu saw Cheng Jiyuan's embarrassment and smiled in the round, and didn't want to see his sister so embarrassed.
However, Cheng Jiyuan's back stiffened, and he reached out to snatch the tea cup in Cheng Ningxu's hand that had not yet been eaten.
Daddy has always only drunk the tongue of the sparrow before the Ming Dynasty, no matter how pure the tea, how can there be a strange fragrance? !
There's only one possibility.
- Tang Wenqi's people have infiltrated the Minchang Mansion.
"Really? It's just an ordinary finch tongueβ"
Before Chen Daoyuan finished speaking, he saw his daughter snatch the tea cup from her son's hand, and his face was frightened.
Instantly, his brows furrowed, such a reaction......
Sensing the strange gazes of his father and brother, if he doesn't say anything, I'm afraid I won't be able to cope with anything.
Cheng Jiyuan only felt a headache, and the tea cup in his hand became a hot charcoal ball.
"I ......"
Pushing the cup in front of him outward, Chen Daoyuan's eyes flashed with anger.
What happened to make his daughter such a soldier?
"Yuan'er, it seems that you really need to give Daddy an explanation."
Taking a deep breath, Chen Daoyuan looked directly at his daughter, with pity and complaint in his eyes.
pursed her lips, and Cheng Jiyuan put the teacup on the low table.
"Daddy, this tea, can't drink ......"
"Why?"
"I doubt ......"
"I suspect that someone is poisoning, but who will poison you with a lady who doesn't go out of the door?" Chen Daoyuan's eyes were heavy, but he still sorted out the abnormalities of Cheng Jiyuan in an orderly manner.
"Moreover, this time Ji Shizi sent you back, and the two big girls around you are gone."
"The small ornament given by His Majesty has such a meaning, Yuan'er, Daddy doesn't know what happened to you, but... It is not in anyone's interest for you to conceal it like this. β
Cheng Jiyuan bit her lip tightly, not knowing how to answer at all.
But my heart was bitter.
was a little bit pulled by his father, Cheng Ningxu also saw that something was wrong at this time, and his eyes were worried when he looked at Cheng Jiyuan: "Yuan'er, what the hell is going on... You..."
Cheng Jiyuan clenched her handkerchief, and after a while, she said in a dry voice: "Daddy, it's not that I deliberately concealed it... It's just that Your Majesty has ......."
Cheng Jiyuan's mind was spinning fast, and he had barely found a credible excuse at this time.
Or rather, it's not an excuse.
Just hiding some key parts of the past can get through this.
Sighing, Cheng Jiyuan got up again and went to the door to look at it a few times, as if he was relieved to make sure that no one was eavesdropping.
Back on the side of the case, Cheng Jiyuan knelt directly in front of Chen Daoyuan, and his voice was choked.
"Daddy, it's my daughter who is not filial, and she is almost... Almost got you and your brother in trouble! β
Where could Chen Daoyuan see his daughter kneeling, and hurriedly got up and helped Cheng Jiyuan up: "Yuan'er, what is it that makes you ...... like this?"
And Cheng Jiyuan was already in tears at this time, crying with a little grievance: "Your Majesty the Prince... His Majesty the Crown Prince, he mistook me for a court criminal, and almost killed his daughter, and it was at that time that Xi Xin was gone......"
Chen Daoyuan was taken aback, and then he understood the emperor's intentions.
If this matter spreads, then I am afraid that the position of the prince will also be over.
not only recognized the wrong court criminals, but also attacked and killed the noble girl who was powerless.
But immediately Chen Daoyuan figured out the strangeness of this, since his daughter was still standing in front of him, it meant that the prince did not succeed in that attack.
After solving the misunderstanding, how could he let his daughter be such a soldier?
"Yuan'er, do you have anything important to tell your father?"
Chen Daoyuan was not in a hurry, and he had a determined momentum, but it made Cheng Jiyuan feel shocked, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Sure enough, if you want to fool your father, it's not that simple.
After hesitating for a moment, Cheng Jiyuan cleared his thoughts, but the look of horror on his face did not retreat.
"On the way back, if Si Qi hadn't found that the cup was poisonous, then the daughter would have ......"
Before he finished speaking, Cheng Jiyuan whimpered and sobbed quietly.
At this time, Chen Daoyuan and Cheng Ningxu were also very angry, and they couldn't wait to break into the palace to seek justice for Cheng Xiyuan.
But after all, it was the person who had been sitting in this position for a long time, and Chen Daoyuan still calmed down first.
Your Majesty probably guessed that her daughter would tell her the truth, which is why this gift is so rich.
plus the queen's words, as well as the pot of priceless orchids.
The attitude has long been obvious.
They are still satisfied with their daughters, even... Behind these rewards, there is also a slight intention to appease the Minchang Mansion.
Sighing lightly, Chen Daoyuan lowered his head and pondered.
Cheng Ningxu is not as scheming as his father, and the anger on his face is beyond words.
"Yuan'er! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince treats you like this, then you don't marry! I think that season is very good! β
Cheng Jiyuan only felt a headache, if his brother didn't mention this stubble, it would be fine, but when he said it at this time, Cheng Jiyuan felt that Ji Dou's threat was still in his ears.
But before Cheng Jiyuan could speak, Chen Daoyuan slapped the table, frowned and scolded: "Nonsense! The Queen Mother's Chrysostom said, can that be used as a joke?! β
