Under Zheng Wan's rhetorical question, Cui Wang didn't answer again.
The palace lights in the house were all extinguished.
Only a piece of silvery moonlight poured in from the wide open doorway, and the wind blew the glazed palace lanterns in the corridor to spin, leaving a deep and shallow shadow on the ground, which also made Zheng Wan shiver for a while.
She gathered up the front of the skirt, and found in vain that the part of the front was torn by the prince.
At this moment, a snow-colored robe was draped over her shoulders, bringing a burst of warmth.
Zheng Wan raised her head, just in time to see Cui Wang's retracted hands. He took off his outer robe to her, and only wore a plain tunic, the corners of which were lifted by the wind and swayed slightly.
If he continued to speak coldly, she would actually stand up with steel thorns all over her body, but his sudden behavior made her burst into tears, and then, grievances, anger, confusion, and fear also flooded in.
"Cui Wang, are you angry? Is it because of me and the prince?"
Zheng Wan asked softly.
Cui Wang looked down at her, from her pale face, to her long black eyelashes, and finally fell on a pair of clear eyes under the long eyelashes, clean and transparent, like the spring of Tianshan, this time Time reflects the trust and admiration for him.
It really is a pair of eyes that can confuse people.
Cui Wang raised his sleeves, and slammed it down in front of Zheng Wan's desk:
"Open."
Zheng Wan looked at the things on the table, there was a small box in a square shape, this kind of small box is usually used to hold jewelry. For some reason, she felt an unknown feeling in her heart.
"What's this?"
Zheng Wan opened the box with a smile, and her pupils shrank when she saw the contents in the box.
A pearl earring, the pearl is round and flawless, she used to like it very much, but she lost one at some point, and the remaining one is now lying in her dowry.
"Ah," she cried happily, "I thought it was lost, and I was very sad for a while. Cui Wang, where did you pick it up?"
"Yanchun Garden."
Cui Wang said.
Only then did Zheng Wan understand.
If it was picked up in Yanchun Garden, I'm afraid it was the sunset of Rong Yi's birthday banquet, and the most likely possibility is that it fell during the entanglement with the crown prince—
But so what
Unless... let him know something.
"When I turned back that night, when I picked up this thing in the backyard of Liluoyuan, I happened to hear a pair of very interesting words."
He made a trick, and a green bird appeared out of nowhere, flew around Cui Wang, and finally landed on the table in front of Zheng Wan, opened its mouth, and a thin voice appeared in the air.
"Hongyu, tell me quickly, today I saw you leading the prince to the back forest in Liluoyuan. Hehehe, did something happen with the prince?"
Immediately afterwards, there was a slightly deeper and lower voice:
"What nonsense, it was the Eldest Princess who asked me to lead the prince there without any trace."
"Ask you to lead the prince there? Why? No one usually goes there."
"Who knows, the nobles are always secretive in their work, maybe there is something particular about it... But," this Hongyu lowered her voice, "When I went back, I saw the young lady of the Zheng family going there. "
"...Impossible? Is it possible to create a private meeting opportunity for Mrs. Zheng and the prince?... Hey, do you think it is the master of the state teacher who sees the beauty of the young lady of the Zheng family and forces the prince to withdraw from the marriage, but the prince and Mrs. Zheng do not agree?" I wish, I only entrusted it to the eldest princess, and this banquet is also for the sake of fulfilling the two of you? Otherwise, why would the pavilion master organize a birthday banquet?"
"I've heard a rumor that the Eldest Princess had a good personal relationship with Mrs. Zheng when she was in her boudoir,..."
Next, there are some rustling broken mouths.
The kingfisher closed its mouth, but Zheng Wan was still a little taken aback.
There was nothing but astonishment in the pair of big eyes, but the bottom of his heart began to turn. Cui Wangdang knew it a long time ago, so he only showed it at this time, probably because the situation between her and the prince just now angered him.
It's just that this person is so calm, I don't know how much he knows.
Cui Wang leaned over, rubbed her lips with his thumb and forefinger:
"Do you have anything else to say?"
Zheng Wan blinked:
"Do you want to hear the truth, or a lie?"
"truth."
"The truth is, at that time you clearly kissed me but you always avoided seeing me. I missed you so much. It happened to be Rong Yi's birthday, so I asked the Eldest Princess to hold the banquet in Yanchun Garden."
"continue."
Cui Wang looked at her calmly.
Zheng Wan bit her lip: "Next, next..."
"What's next?"
She closed her eyes:
"Yes, I'm really trying to test your mind under the guise of the prince!"
After she finished speaking, her long eyelashes were covered with water. She opened her eyes, trying to blink away the water vapor, and said anxiously:
"Yes, I am really bad and domineering. I want to see you and miss me, so I use the prince to provoke you! I think you only have me in your eyes and no one else. I want you to be angry and worried about me, Nervous for me!"
Cui Wang looked at her:
"But there is something else to hide from me?"
He is testing himself.
Zheng Wan made herself tense: "Yes."
"Today's incident was framed by others." She said, "The crown prince was lured here, and I let you see this scene because he wanted to deceive you and me. Cui Wang, don't be fooled."
"I know."
Cui Wang was silent for a long time, and when Zheng Wan almost realized that something was wrong, he finally said, "You will not be so stupid to abandon me and the prince at this time."
"Cui Wang, what do you mean?"
Zheng Wan was stabbed by the calculation in his words, and her eyes widened suddenly, "You still doubt my sincerity?"
"Melon Tian Li Xia, you don't avoid suspicion, this is one of them."
Cui Wang said slowly.
"Even though the prince is not kind, you can turn around and use him conveniently, and use his joy to calculate my joy. The method is too cold, the second."
"Smart words and sensuality, not telling the truth, this is the third."
Zheng Wan fell silent.
She finally understood what she did wrong, she used... the prince was too much.
The more thoroughly she used the prince, the further she pushed Cui Wang away. From the prince, he saw the old self who held a jade pendant but was beaten by her.
When the rabbit dies, the fox is sad, and things hurt its kind.
Therefore, he cut off the prince's arm, and what he was waiting for was her... even a little bit of kindness that should be there for the prince.
She was wrong, dead wrong.
Zheng Wan's tears fell down.
No, she still has a chance to save.
She wiped her face hard:
"Even if I try my best, and talk cleverly, it's just that I like you too much."
Cui Wang silently watched her tears.
"Xiao Wangwang, hurry up and wipe it for her."
There is humanity in the ear.
Cui Wang didn't move, he just felt that he was torn in two.
One half sank to the bottom of the water, looking at her coldly; the other half melted into the flames, and was burnt into charcoal by these tears, wiping her tears and holding her in his arms.
Half want to believe, half can't believe it.
"But there is something else to hide from me?"
Cui Wang asked.
Zheng Wan was taken aback for a moment, and when she looked up again, her face was a little embarrassed, her cheeks were a little blush, she stretched out her hand to pick a corner of the tablecloth, and said in a low voice:
"have."
If something bad happens to a family like them and they don't want people to know about it, most of them will take the initiative to throw out a side thing that won't hurt the muscles and bones to attract attention.
Zheng Wan thought to herself, she can't miss any of her important matters, if she misses it, it's over.
"The personal maid beside Mrs. Liu San is mine."
Cui Wang's lips tightened instantly.
He looked down at the little lady in front of him, she lowered her head, revealing a swirl on the top of her head, I heard that people with this swirl are born with one more orifice than ordinary people.
Smart indeed.
Cui Wang turned around and left. Zheng Wan subconsciously grabbed the corner of his robe, and her eyes showed panic that she didn't realize:
"Cui Wang, where are you going?"
Cui Wang stood still, the arm holding him was slender and weak, and it would break if he struggled, but it seemed to be carrying a tremendous force.
He stood for a while, the moonlight outside the door was like a hazy shadow, and the sound of silk and bamboo singing and dancing came from the front hall. He looked down for a while, shook her sleeves, shook her hand, and walked away again.
"Cui Wang!"
Zheng Wan felt panic at this moment, she quickly followed out with her skirt, "Wait!"
The man's robe was too long, Zheng Wan stepped on the hem of the robe with his left foot, tripped, and fell heavily on the threshold.
The threshold stone was cold and hard, but she didn't seem to notice it, and quickly got up again:
"Cui Wang! Cui Wang!"
"I once suffered from being pierced by thousands of swords for you, have you forgotten this? Even if the method is wrong, you shouldn't doubt my sincerity!"
Zheng Wan hurriedly said.
This should obviously be her trump card.
Cui Wang finally stopped. He turned his head and took a deep look at her. In the end, without saying anything, he drew a long sword and walked away.
Hua Guangpilian disappeared in the sky, Zheng Wan watched it for a while, until there was a small sound of soft-soled shoes touching the ground next to her ears, then she clapped her hands and stood up expressionlessly.
With Cui Wang not in front of her, she has no intention of acting like a pitiful child anymore.
"Miss Zheng, you, what happened to you? Do you need to call someone?"
The two maidservants saw Zheng Wan's attire clearly, looked at each other, and rushed over.
"Find my maidservant for me."
Zheng Wan said slowly, "Also prepare to get off the carriage, I want to go home."
"Here."
The palace maids looked at each other for a while, and agreed.
When Zheng Wan got into the car, Suo Dai finally found her. She was knocked out in the ear room of the side hall. When she woke up, she didn’t know what to ask. strange things.
The prince was in a daze, and only said that he hadn't seen him in a dream. The Holy Master was furious and began to seal the palace for investigation.
At this time, Zheng Wan was already heading for the National Teacher's Mansion on a bicycle frame.
———
———
The study of the National Teacher's Mansion.
"Xiao Wangwang, when you drink alcohol, you will worry even more. Don't drink it. If you drink again, you will be drunk! Besides, people are walking in the rivers and lakes, how can they not be stabbed!"
"Justify me, Xiaowangwang."
"Wangzai, Xiaowang, Wangwang! I tell you, if there is another thunder and flood, your ancestors will rebel against me. Sneeze! Drink, drink, you won't die if you drink it! It's useless if you drink it to death, let Xiao The men my sister cries for are not good men!"
Cui Wang took a sip of wine.
There were many shadows of trees outside the window, pear blossoms were white in the mouth and throat was astringent, and there seemed to be double images in front of his eyes.
He opened his eyes and looked at it for a while, then suddenly covered his chest, it was hot and alive.
He poured it himself.
Amidst the old ancestor's persistent chanting, he suddenly laughed.
"...Old Ancestor, why didn't you sing a song you used to sing?"
"What song is it?"
Cui Wang snorted softly: "...the little monk went out to Huazhai, the old monk explained that the woman at the foot of the mountain is a tiger, if you meet her, you must run away... you must run away..."
His voice was clear and clear, like rinsing jade from a chime, and the breeze blowing through the forest, such a funny and weird song, hummed by him, unexpectedly added a touch of sadness.
"Crazy, crazy, my baby is crazy." The ancestor covered his ears, lay flat and let the wind and rain pinch him, rolling back and forth, rolling back and forth.
"...Old Ancestor, when she cried just now, I almost softened my heart again."
The old ancestor finally sighed.
Love, it makes people sane and fascinated.
At this moment, "Duk Tuk—"
There was a knock on the door, "My lord, I have brought you hangover soup."
