Chapter 117: Honesty
Between the queen mother and her sister, Xiao Junyan will always choose her sister without principle. Seeing that his sister dropped the golden bean, Xiao Junyan still remembered the unhappiness of the Empress Dowager Zhou, and only cared about coaxing her sister.
"The queen mother must be blaming me?" Yue Ling's red eyes were particularly distressing.
"How so?" Xiao Junyan also knew the thoughts of the Empress Dowager Zhou, and her words to comfort her sister were a little weak, and she didn't know how to explain it.
didn't want to talk too much about the matter of harmony, Xiao Junyan euphemistically said that he was hungry.
Yue Ling hurriedly let Hua Ying set up the lunch.
The meal was not very pleasant, Yue Ling wanted to inquire about the affairs of the court, but Xiao Junyan had passed over, maybe at this time he still didn't want his sister to worry about the matter of his relatives.
But for Yue Ling, she and her imagination knew the situation in the court, so it was convenient to decide how to go in the future.
After lunch, Xiao Junyan didn't have much time to accompany his sister, but he left Zhou Xun behind.
"What did the imperial brother leave you behind?" Although he and Zhou Xun have reached a tacit understanding of using each other, Yue Ling and Zhou Xun are not familiar with each other, and even because of Zhou Xun's inexplicable confession before, there is a trace of embarrassment between the two of them.
Hua Ying wanted to match the two, but the wall in the palace has ears, and her identity as a palace maid can't be too bold, so she can only be in a hurry.
While serving tea, Hua Ying praised Zhou Xun for his young and promising years, and handed the conversation to Yue Ling.
But Yue Ling didn't want to deal with Zhou Xun, and the answer was a little blunt.
"General Zhou is indeed young and promising." After speaking, he will not lead the topic on.
Zhou Xun seemed to be an outsider, quietly sipping tea, not participating in the communication between the two women at all. He also ignored the look that Hanaying kept giving him.
Huaying thought to herself that the emperor was really not in a hurry, the eunuch was in a hurry, what did she care.
After a long time, Yue Ling wanted to drive people away: "Isn't General Zhou busy with official business recently?" ”
"Don't be busy, Beisai has already arranged everything, if Beizhou dares to attack, he will definitely have no return." Zhou Xun's expression finally changed a little, and he looked up and smiled at Yue Ling.
"General Zhou looks confident when he arrives, don't talk big." Yue Ling felt that Zhou Xun didn't look like he was talking big, but he didn't know much about Zhou Xun in his heart, and he hadn't seen his majesty on the battlefield.
"In the past, when General Yue was still there, Weichen also accompanied him and learned a little skill." Zhou Xun was deliberately tempted in his heart.
The masked woman she saw in the Yue family's former residence before was still missing, and in connection with what happened in the palace, Zhou Xun felt that Princess Yongjia might still have a secret.
"Oh? Do you know Yue Qingfeng? What Zhou Xun said was too straightforward, Yue Ling didn't dare to take it lightly, and dealt with it carefully.
"Didn't Weichen mention it to the princess, Weichen is from the Yue family's army, and he was once fortunate to be taught by General Yue Qingfeng." Zhou Xun had no intention of hiding his relationship with Yue Qingfeng.
"Oh, I see." After searching all the memories in his mind, Yue Ling had never seen Zhou Xun at the border when he was young, and he really didn't know when he was instructed by his brother.
Yue Ling paused, and suddenly thought: "If the Northern Zhou Dynasty comes to attack, will the Yue family army still go to the front?" ”
"Naturally!" When it came to Yue Jiajun, Yue Ling's words became more, and Zhou Xun felt that his thinking was right.
"Was it Her Royal Highness the Princess in the Yue family's former residence that day?" Zhou Xun gave it a bold try, because the princess's martial arts were clearly the same as the woman who appeared in the Yue family's former mansion.
Even if she can hide it anymore, a trace of panic flashed in Yue Ling's eyes for a moment, was she exposed? But soon she calmed down again, and she was not much different from being exposed now.
It's just that I should confess to Zhou Xun?
"Didn't you worry that my purpose was not pure? I'm confessing to you. "I didn't use Weichen's self-title, but between you and me, Zhou Xun was also gambling.
Yue Ling couldn't believe that Zhou Xun was obviously Xiao Junyan's lackey, how could he have anything to do with the Yue family, whether it was a temptation or something else.
Seeing Yue Ling's vigilant face, Zhou Xun smiled helplessly and took out the broken sword.
"This ...... How did this end up with you? ”
He had already guessed the truth in his heart, but Yue Ling had no way to connect Zhou Xun with the man in black who appeared in Yue's house.
"Who the hell are you?" It was also the first time that Yue Ling had doubts about Zhou Xun's identity, and she felt that Zhou Xun did not look like the Zhou family.
"Zhou Xun!"
"Do you think I'll believe it? If you are really from the Zhou family, how can you have anything to do with the Yue family, don't you know that the Zhou family has always regarded the Yue family as an enemy. ”
"You are really smart, I am indeed not the Zhou family, but who it is, you will soon know."
Zhou Xun saw that Yue Ling was suspicious, and he didn't hide it too much, and confessed everything he could.
"Hmph, you still don't trust me?" Yue Ling smiled, in fact, Zhou Xun can confess to this extent, it is already very good, she has the identity of Princess Yongjia, Zhou Xun does not dare to completely blow herself up.
"I'm already very honest with the princess, and I want to see the princess's sincerity." Zhou Xun just guessed that Princess Yongjia would do such a thing to Zhou Jingyang in order to avenge Yue Qingfeng, but he couldn't guess that the person sitting in front of him would be what he liked when he was young.
"I don't believe that Yue Qingfeng collaborated with the enemy and treason, so I went to investigate, it was the Zhou Yan family who deliberately framed Yue Qingfeng under the instruction of Xiao Junyan." Yue Ling still didn't plan to expose the truth that he was Yue Ling, after all, such a thing as rebirth was too unbelievable.
can only use the name of clearing up grievances for Yue Qingfeng, which was originally one of her goals.
"Then have you ever thought about clearing the grievances of the Yue family?" Zhou Xun couldn't help but ask, he felt that Princess Yongjia had already come to this step of revenge, and she should also seek justice for the Yue family.
"What do you mean?" Is it another person who wants to clear the grievances of the Yue family? Yue Ling was a little puzzled, could it be that Zhou Xun was also like Helian Yu, who had the evidence?
"I just want to tell you that everything I did was to clear the grievances of the deceased."
I didn't expect Zhou Xun to still have such a secret hidden in his body, but now that he has a relationship with the Zhou family, can the person in front of him believe it? Yue Ling didn't know the bottom of his heart.
"I know it's hard to believe, but it's true. I am indeed not a member of the Zhou family, the son born to Zhou Zhenshan's outer room died, and I replaced the child. ”
Suddenly all of a sudden, Yue Ling couldn't digest so much information at once, and hurriedly asked Zhou Xun to stop: "Don't say it yet, let me be quiet." ”
Zhou Xun really stopped his mouth in time.
Flower Shadow has been letting the wind off the two of them, paying attention to whether there are any eavesdropping. She listened to the conversation between her master and the princess, and felt that her master was still not sincere enough, and Zhou Xun was usually not like this in front of her own people.
However, Huaying didn't plan to debunk it in front of the princess, she didn't want to be ugly in the hands of the master.
