There was a momentary silence in the corridor.
Only the voices of chatter coming from the main room not far away were not praising Zheng Wan for her "excellent talent and beauty", but calling her "blessed and lucky". how…
Zheng Wan thought, it's really ironic.
If you think about it so hard and call it "Luck and Fortune", it's better to give this name to others. She regained her composure, and walked slowly to the kneeling lady Liu San, standing side by side with Cui Wang.
Cui Wang just glanced at her, and the two looked at each other without making a sound.
On the contrary, the crown prince hesitated and raised his foot. After all, Mrs. Liu was brought by him: "Miss Liu, you are not staying in the side hall, why are you here?"
"The ministers, the ministers, come, come and tell the truth to the National Teacher."
Miss Liu San raised her head and glanced up. When her eyes touched the woman beside Cui Wang, she couldn't help closing her eyes, but this glimpse was enough for her to see clearly.
She is really an extremely beautiful person, like snow jade, with an airy expression on her face, completely different from a cruel and lowly person like her, lofty and... aggressive.
Thinking of the hardships of the journey back to the city, and the fear of being chased and intercepted, Liu Sanniang felt angry again, and when the anger was over, she was unwilling.
Who would have thought that such a gorgeous and noble person would actually do such a lowly thing
"What truth?"
The prince asked again.
"Your Highness, my minister and my daughter lied to you. The person who chased and killed my daughter was not my second sister, but someone else." Liu Yi bowed to the crown prince and held the square handkerchief upright again. The son knelt back in front of Cui Wang.
"This object was picked up by my courtier at Shifang. If I read it correctly, it should be the hairpin I pawned to save my aunt."
Cui Wang silently looked at the broken chicken blood stone, no one could see what he was thinking at that moment.
Zheng Wan glanced at him, for some reason, the surroundings seemed to be much colder all of a sudden, she came out of the warm dressing room, and was shivering from the cold.
After the chills subsided, I felt a little better.
But Miss Liu San was trembling beautifully, rustling like a leaf in the wind, like a rootless weed, Zheng Wan felt that if she was to play poorly, she might be a bit inferior, at least let her learn how to kneel down anytime and anywhere Humility is harder than killing her.
My mind was in a mess, but it didn't delay Zheng Wan reaching out and pulling the handkerchief out of Mrs. Liu San's hand:
"It's here with you, and I've been looking for it for a long time."
"Cui Wang, do you still remember?"
She shook the thing in her hand with a smile, and said affectionately, "You gave me this handkerchief."
Cui Wang looked at her silently, there seemed to be an undercurrent surging in his eyes.
Zheng Wan has already turned her head and said with a smile on her brows:
"Miss Liu San, today is my birthday. Since you return my old things, I won't bother with you about your trespassing on the Zheng residence."
"My lord!"
Mrs. Liu San ignored her, as if she recognized Cui Wang, she fell to the ground and bowed, "Your servant has a grievance, and I am willing to confront Mrs. Zheng!"
Cui Wang looked down, he saw that this person was skinny, his face was covered by a white veil, only his eyes were exposed.
Xu Shi's eyes were filled with sorrow and resentment because his life was not going well.
When he looked at it, he thought of another pair of eyes, bright and vivid like spring waves, always filled with bright sunshine.
"It's strange——" the crown prince interjected, "There is a grievance, Jing Zhaoyin and Dali Temple will accept it, why are you confronting Wan Niang?"
"Miss Zheng is so precious now, how dare Jing Zhaoyin and Dali Temple accept it?"
Miss Liu San smiled wryly.
Zheng Wan knew that if she didn't show up again, she might really feel guilty.
She opened her eyes wider and more innocently: "Third lady, what do you want to confront?"
"Of course there are."
"First, my aunt has been lingering and sick for a long time, and the prescription has its own rules. Why did the doctor suddenly order an extremely rare medicine, so that I have to be a hairpin?"
"Secondly, why did the hairpin I became go round and round into Miss Zheng's hands?"
Zheng Wan said strangely:
"It's just a hairpin. People are alike, and things are alike. How come mine becomes yours when you say nothing?"
"I can recognize the word 'Cui'! It's obviously something I pawned off!"
Liu Sanniang straightened up.
"Under the world, the Cui family is not a family," the crown prince couldn't see, even a small concubine dared to bully the Zheng family, and said, "The Zheng family knew the world back then, so what's so special about a hairpin?"
"But this hairpin belongs to Master Guoshi and me, so it has different meanings!"
Liu Yi raised her head and looked at Master Guoshi, tears streaming down her face, "Miss Zheng beat Master Guoshi so badly that I was the one who sent Master Guoshi to the clinic for diagnosis and treatment, because the consultation fee was not enough. , I also used a pair of silver bud pendants as a gift, and when I parted, the Master of the National Teacher gave me this hairpin."
"Miss Zheng used tricks to deceive my hairpin, and under the guise of my name to make friends with the master of the state teacher... because of a guilty conscience, she wanted to marry me far away, and even killed my aunt! How can I not be wronged?" ?!"
"You are really weird," Zheng Wan clenched her fists, tears welling in her eyes, thinking that you would act pitiful, and she would act naive.
"Your own aunt is dead, why blame me?"
Mrs. Liu San didn't know why she was so sure, but there was a voice telling her that it was the truth.
That's why she tried every means to get rid of the bridegroom, and came back from hiding in Tibet all the way. But when I returned to the city, I heard the news that Master Guoshi and Mrs. Zheng were good-looking and how they matched each other all over the city, it was like heartbreaking.
This should have been her glory.
Liu Yi should be the one who treats each other so tenderly, but Zheng Wan dove into the magpie's nest and stole her happiness.
"I beg the master of the country to make the decision!"
At this time, she only dared to pin all her hopes on the person in front of her.
Zheng Wan also turned her head and pulled Cui Wang's sleeve as usual:
"Cui Wang, you trust me. I haven't—"
Unexpectedly, before touching it, it bounced away with a force, and the soft silk and satin slid across her fingertips, bringing a gust of wind, which made her fingertips ache.
"Cui Wang—"
Her eyes widened in disbelief, "You don't believe me?"
Almost instantly, teardrops rolled down from his eyes.
"She said I was pretending to be her, so you believed it? Cui Wang, let me ask you—"
Zheng Wan has always known how to tell a lie beautifully, three percent of the truth is mixed with seven percent of the lie, the truth is false, the truth is false, so that people can't figure it out.
She said, "Did I ever say that I was the one who saved you back then?"
Cui Wangshui looked at her, the little lady's nose was red, but her cheeks were whiter than the pear blossoms in the courtyard, her tears were sad, it was really pitiful. It reminded him of the Snow Jade Rabbit in the Xuancang Realm, who was born with a cute appearance and loved to eat meat.
"Never."
"Since it hasn't happened, how can I fake it? Besides, how would I know the privacy of the two of you back then? What bloodstones, what tokens—" Zheng Wan shook the veil, and all the bloodstones fell to the ground, and then The golden flower chain on the wrist was untied and thrown to the ground, and crushed with beads, "Whoever cares about it, bring it!"
The voice was crying, like a young deer in the forest who was accidentally injured.
With the prince by his side, it felt like a heart, which also shattered into petals with her tears. The Zheng Wan he had seen had always been high-spirited and energetic, how could there be such a weak daughter
Quickly walk a few steps and protect her behind:
"It's Gu's mistake. He brought the cunning fox here as a harmless rabbit, and it made Wan Niang sad."
"Liu Yi, if according to what you said, Niang Wan didn't hesitate to kill your aunt in order to take your credit, why didn't she kill you as well, it was clean and tidy, and it was done once and for all. This big play is just to send you to marry far away and get out of Beijing?"
Zheng Wan has never seen the prince so pleasing to the eye for a moment since before, and when he looked at Cui Wang again, he was as silent as a piece of wood, and when he couldn't get angry, he simply opened a pair of "admiring" eyes and looked at the prince seriously. road:
"Your Highness, if it wasn't for you today, Miss Wan would have been wronged to death."
mad at you.
Zheng Wan thought.
"Miss Wan, don't be afraid, there is loneliness."
The prince was heartbroken, and was patting her on the shoulder to comfort her, but a gust of wind came from somewhere, and Zheng Wan, who was still behind him just now, disappeared, and when he looked again, he saw her call the national teacher to lift her behind.
As for the national teacher, that expressionless face is now like ice that has been snowed for thousands of years, and at a glance, it almost freezes people.
The prince shuddered, thinking of the sword and slap before, the words on his lips turned around, and he choked back with the lofty sentiments.
"Why are you picking me up? Don't you believe me?"
Zheng Wan beat him, intending to get rid of his restraint.
"Don't move." Cui Wang said coldly, "If you move again, I will cut off the left arm of your ex-fiancé Li Jin."
Li is the surname of the country, and Li Jin is the name of the crown prince.
Zheng Wan was taken aback: "Your Highness didn't touch me."
"So he still has his left arm."
Cui Wang held her behind him, then turned around, and said to the people who were wandering around:
"Your aunt's death has nothing to do with her."
His voice was clear and cold, as if the howling wind was blowing through the spring of this place. This was the first sentence he said for Zheng Wan when she came over.
Zheng Wan smiled with satisfaction.
Aunt Liu Yi was naturally not the one who killed her. As for whether her death was in vain, she was not interested in knowing, but she just took advantage of the situation and sent him out of Beijing. This probably belongs to...
So little bit of conscience that still exists.
On the contrary, Cui Wang was able to come to such a decisive conclusion, she was very happy to hear that.
But soon, her joy was discounted.
She heard Cui Wang say again:
"However, it is true that you saved me back then."
"I make you a wish."
Mrs. Liu San originally thought that this trip was a failure, but who knows that Liu Yinhua is bright, there is no need to argue, the adults believed in her, and hurriedly prostrated:
"Third Lady has nothing else to ask for, but to always be by your side, even if you are a slave or a handmaid."
"snort."
Zheng Wan turned her head angrily, rolled her eyeballs, and said again, "Then you swear to me now, saying that you will never take half a step closer to the Master of the State Teacher, if you do, it is because of your heart Unruly, intending to blaspheme the national teacher, how about it?"
Miss Liu San shook her lips, unable to say anything.
It is true that she has admiration for Master Guoshi, it is true... ah.
"Can't speak?"
Satisfied, Zheng Wan raised her hand and called her servant to come over and look at Ren Haosheng, "Send someone to the Liu Mansion, and tell Mrs. Liu to discipline and discipline my daughter, don't ask her to come and harass the national teacher again!"
Miss Liu San shook her head unwillingly, choked up and said:
"My lord, I beg my lord to be sympathetic. My father is the most rigid. If he is told that the third lady has returned to Beijing without permission, I'm afraid he will die..."
Zheng Wan just thought of this, and her face was a little dazed. If she was sent back like this, it would be her fault if she really killed her, but she would never want to keep her by Cui Wang's side like this.
While she was in a daze, Mrs. Liu San had already broken away from her servant, walked to Cui Wang's feet, kowtowed and bowed again:
"Since the little lady is unwilling, I don't ask for more. I just ask the master of the state to take me in for a few days and take me to the upper realm... that's fine."
Cui Wang looked at her:
"You want to go to the realm I came from?"
"Yes." Mrs. Liu San said, "Since I can't be with the teacher all the time, it's good if I can learn some skills."
"Also."
Cui Wang said, "If you save me once, I will give you back another chance, which is fair."
Zheng Wan found that the world went round and round, except that she was not dead, the Zheng family was still intact, and things seemed to be back to the original place.
The wind in the courtyard is warm, the begonias are blooming everywhere, gusts of wind, and the music of silk, bamboo and qin are blowing into her ears, but she feels cold all over her body.
