"Brother Xiran, stop drinking."
Seeing how drunk I was, Xuan'er immediately came over and snatched the wine glass from my hand.
"Xuan'er, I'm fine, don't worry about me, just give me the wine."
I saw her take the wine glass away, so I called the waiter and brought me a new wine glass.
Seeing this, Xuan'er planned to come up to grab my drink, but was stopped by the waiter.
"Hey, Xuan'er, you can see that he is so sad, there must be a lot of things in his heart, just let him drink it himself."
"But he's already drunk too much, I'm afraid he'll drink any more..."
Xuan'er looked at me with worried and distressed eyes, but she was dragged away by the waiter before she could finish her sentence.
Since three days ago, the princess dropped that sentence, no matter how much I waited at the door, she never wanted to see me again.
I don't know where else I can go, I can only return to the place where I first settled down like a wounded little beast: Juxiang Pavilion.
Now I just want to hide here and drink away my worries and numb myself.
After getting up in the morning, I occupy a corner position, holding the wine jar alone, crying or laughing.
In the past few days, I fell asleep when I was tired from drinking, and drank again when I woke up. I had nothing to do all day long, and my whole body was extremely decadent.
Xuan'er and the guys in the store were very worried about me, but they didn't know what happened, so they didn't know where to comfort me.
Master has stopped working as a cook here since my mother came here.
So I told Xuan'er not to tell him the news that I'm here, I don't want more people to worry about me.
She had no choice but to agree to me. Sometimes she couldn't stand it anymore and would come over to take my wine away, but I would take it back by myself after a while.
"Zhen'er, why don't you believe me...you can't come back? We... what's wrong with us??"
I lay down on the table, picked up the glass and drank the wine inside.
Just as I was feeling sad here, the last person I wanted to see came.
I saw Wei Qi walking to me and sitting down, I glanced at him and didn't intend to talk to him.
"Xi Ran, why don't you help me? Now that the princess has misunderstood you like this, you should stand with me."
With hatred, I spit out a few words lightly:
"Oh, how do you know that the princess misunderstood me? You are the one who framed me and Concubine Li! Despicable villain, don't even think about it, I won't help you!"
"Don't talk too early, I believe you will come back to me."
Then he gave me a look with an inevitable smile and got up and left.
Not long after he left, two more people came in.
I saw that they chose a seat closer to me and sat down, and ordered Xiao Er to order food and wine.
After Xiao Er put all the food and wine on the table, one of them poured a glass of wine for the other and said:
"Brother Wang, have you heard that the emperor recently betrothed his favorite second princess to Lord Wei Qiwei of the Imperial Academy."
"Hey, who doesn't know now. Lord Wei is the current champion of the new discipline, and I heard that he has made meritorious service in the autumn festival, and the emperor is very satisfied with him. However, I don't know why I heard that the princess At first, he refused to agree to life and death, but later he agreed. It is said that the second princess of this dynasty is the most beautiful woman in the world. I heard them say that the past few years have been even worse... Tsk tsk tsk, Lord Wei is really blessed Yes, hahahaha."
After the man finished speaking, he smiled and stuffed a piece of meat into his mouth.
"The princess has also reached the age of leaving the cabinet. How can she not agree to such a suitable person~ Mr. Wei is good at everything, and his appearance is outstanding. They are talented, beautiful, talented, beautiful, and beautiful. We little people just want to go to the court again. It's useless to be envious, just join in the fun and feast your eyes, come on, Brother Wang, let's drink!"
At this moment, when I heard their conversation, the whole person suddenly became angry.
Rushing over and clapping his hands on their dinner table:
"what are you guys saying?!"
"Who is this person? Brother Wang, do you know him?"
The person who spoke asked the companions around him, and the person called Brother Wang shook his head, and then he continued:
"I'm afraid this person is crazy, Xiaoer, come over and see why there are such people in your store."
As soon as he finished speaking, I grabbed the skirt of his chest, glared at him with red eyes, and repeated my question word by word.
"Let me ask you, what were you talking about just now?!"
"Hey, kid, you're sick, aren't you?"
I saw that man was very upset after I grabbed the skirt of his clothes, and he stood up and wanted to hit me.
Seeing this, Xuan'er immediately came over to stop him, and then pulled me back to the corner.
Then let the waiter brother apologize to them, saying that I drank too much, and let them not care about me.
At this moment, my brain groaned, and I collapsed on the chair like a puddle of mud.
"Wei Qi wants to marry the princess?! How could the princess agree..."
My eyes were blank, I just stared blankly at the front, no matter how Xuan'er called me by the side, I didn't respond.
I don't believe it, it must be fake, I have to go to Wei Qi to find out!
Suddenly, I ran out of Juxiang Pavilion like crazy, and went straight to Weifu.
In the Weifu study, Wei Qi only said one sentence when he saw me:
"I knew you would come, sit down and let's talk."
I looked at him coldly, didn't sit down, and only slightly opened my mouth and said:
"Why did you marry the princess?!"
He lowered his head and rubbed the fingers on his hand, then said to me indifferently:
"Oh, this is my next strategy, and the goal is naturally you. Xiran, I promise you, as long as you help me win this country, the princess will still be yours, and the glory and wealth will also be yours."
After he finished speaking, he suddenly raised his head and stared at me, I couldn't help but clenched my fists, and my heart suddenly flooded with thoughts.
Seeing that I didn't speak, he saw that I seemed to be a little shaken. He knew that his plan had succeeded, so he continued:
"All I want is this country. I believe you are reluctant to see the princess marrying me. By the way, there is also your mother. They are all waiting for you. You are so affectionate and righteous, you must not leave them behind. Why don't you think about it more."
I bit my lower lip tightly, closed my eyes and struggled desperately, imagining a hundred scenarios in my mind.
He threatened me with the two people I love the most, what should I do
But as my clenched fist slowly loosened, I knew that I had to compromise in the current situation.
For my mother and the princess, I have to compromise...
I looked up at him, and said slowly:
"How do you want me to help you?"
Seeing that his strategy had worked, Wei Qi laughed and said:
"Hahahahaha, I really didn't misread you, and I didn't waste all my painstaking efforts to bring you to Beijing. Seven days later, it will be the day of my wedding with the princess, and I want you to drink tea among the tea we gave to the emperor." poison."
Speaking of the chill and fierce light in his eyes.
"It turned out that you brought me to Beijing just to use me, huh, but it doesn't make sense to say these things now, why did you choose me to poison you?"
I looked at his eyes full of disappointment, the man in front of me, the city is so deep, so deep that I can't imagine.
"Now you have won the trust of the emperor, and you are the minister of the imperial dining room. May I ask, who in this palace is more suitable than you to take on this important task? You are also the most likely to approach that place without being suspected by anyone." The emperor's people, when the time comes, you only need to poison our tea when the princess and I offer tea to the emperor. The palace must be much more relaxed when the princess gets married. I have already arranged people outside. If the emperor is poisoned, my troops will rush in and surround everyone, and at that time, I will be the new king, hahahaha."
At this moment, his eyes are full of deep desire and ambition.
I snorted coldly and said to him:
"You are so ambitious, aren't you afraid that I will tell the emperor and princess?"
Wei Qi looked at me disdainfully and chuckled lightly.
"Heh, you go, what evidence do you have? Just based on your one-sided words, do you see if the princess will believe you or me now?"
That's right, the princess doesn't want to see me anymore, so what's the point of me talking about it? I'm afraid she won't believe me if I tell you...
Seeing me standing there in a daze, he stepped forward and patted my shoulder and said:
"Don't worry, if you help me do things well, I won't hurt them. The princess is yours, and the glory and wealth are also yours. Isn't it the best of both worlds? Success or failure depends on it. Xiran, I believe, you will not let me Disappointed."
After that, he picked up the tea on the table and handed it to me.
Then, he took a cup himself, wiped off the lid of the tea, and slowly took a sip, looking in the direction of the palace outside the window, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.
