"It's a little sister of mine. She saw my car downstairs just now and wanted to come up to catch up with me. She also said she wanted to show me something. Miss Shen wouldn't mind." An An asked softly.
She said so, of course Shen Ruolan can't say she doesn't mind, she's just a woman, not a man, come up as soon as she comes up.
After getting Shen Ruolan's approval, Zhihua went down to spread the word, and after a while, he brought a few women up.
Su Su heard the footsteps, and flashed out of the room, but saw a maidservant under An'an Princess leading a young and luxurious woman, walking towards Miss Shen's private room.
Behind them, there are four women who are working together to lift a three-foot-square mahogany box, each of them carefully and nervously.
"Stop, what are you doing?" Susu stopped in front of them with a stride, and Yinyin followed closely behind.
Zhihua hurriedly said, "This is Miss Zhao, a friend of Princess An'an. Just now, Miss Zhao saw our princess' car downstairs and wanted to come up and say hello to the princess."
"Then what is this box? Did you bring such a big box up as a greeting?" Susu didn't move a single step, staring sharply at the four women and the box they were carrying.
Zhao Yuanyuan hurriedly said, "There is a piece of coral in this box, I want to show it to the princess." After finishing speaking, she asked the four women to put the box on the ground and open it for Susu to see.
The box was opened, and there was a nearly three-foot-high coral inside, with a red sandalwood base, and the whole body was red, it looked like a high-quality coral.
Susu went over to check, and after seeing nothing unusual, she waved them in.
Zhiqi smiled and said, "The two girls are really dedicated to their duties. With you here, it would be difficult for flies to fly to Miss Shen!"
While talking, he invited the two of them into the private room, and everyone had dinner together.
Here, Shen Ruolan and An An were eating and chatting, Zhihua brought Zhao Yuanyuan in, and the four women followed behind carrying the coral.
After entering the room, Zhao Yuanyuan hurriedly knelt down to salute An An and Shen Ruolan, "Ms. Zhao Yuanyuan pays respects to Princess An'an and Miss Shen."
When Shen Ruolan heard that she called herself a courtier's daughter, she knew which official's daughter she was, and when she saw that she knew she was "Miss Shen", she also saluted herself and said "see you", so she knew that it was not that simple for her to come here, no Maybe he just wanted to go upstairs and say hello to An An.
"Get up quickly, you're welcome, Miss Shen is also easy-going, you don't have to be polite." An An gestured to Zhihua, and Zhihua stepped forward to help Zhao Yuanyuan.
"Ms. Shen, let me introduce you. This girl is Zhao Yuanyuan, the daughter of Mr. Yin Zhao, Jizhou Prefecture. I have been living in Zhao's residence for several months in Jizhou last year. I have taken care of Mrs. Zhao and Miss Zhao. , Now we can be regarded as close friends in the boudoir, and I will introduce you today. We will all live in Jizhou in the future, and I hope we can be friends in the future..." An An introduced to Shen Ruolan with a smile .
It turned out to be the daughter of Mr. Yin, the prefect of Jizhou!
Now, Shen Ruolan understood what was going on, it turned out that she was an official who wanted to curry favor with Chunyu, and wanted to follow her way.
Although she didn't know why the Lord Fuyin didn't go directly to please Chunyuxuan, but instead came to find her by bypassing Chunyuxuan, but from the behavior of the other party, it is not difficult to see that the Lord Fuyin is not an upright person. He is a scheming and treacherous person who is good at making money, otherwise, he would not leave the serious path and walk the crooked path.
And An An is not a good thing, she took such a lot of trouble to lure herself here, and acted as a matchmaker for this kind of person, maybe she also took advantage of him.
Shen Ruolan doesn't like being calculated by others. If they really have something important to infiltrate to King Zhan through her, they can say it directly, instead of beating around the bush. If they can directly explain the whole story to her , and if their demands are reasonable, maybe she can be more accommodating.
However, instead of going the right way, they chose to go the crooked way. Even if they had the most legitimate reason in the world, she couldn't accept it anymore.
Shen Ruolan put down the chopsticks in her hand and said, "It's okay to be friends, but I'm a person who doesn't rub the sand in my eyes, and I don't like to beat around the bush. If Miss Zhao really just met you by chance, let's sit down and have a light meal together." It's nothing, if she has something to ask me to deliberately design this meeting, then I'm very sorry, I don't like to be friends with such calculating people, let alone agree to any requests from others.
When Zhao Yuanyuan heard this, she panicked immediately, knelt down with a 'plop', and begged with tears streaming down her face, "Miss Shen, I don't want to plot against you, but now I really have no choice, so I have to ask Princess An'an to come out here." The bad plan, Miss Shen, I beg you to show kindness and plead with King Zhan for my daughter's father. My father is seriously ill now, and time is running out. Our family is dying and injured. Running and running, sickness, sickness, has been scattered, I beg King Zhan to spare us a miserable life, don't drive our family to extinction!"
After finishing speaking, regardless of dignity or disrespect, she kowtowed to Shen Ruolan.
Shen Ruolan said expressionlessly, "For the sake of being so pitiful, I will show kindness now and tell you one thing."
She raised the corners of her lips and smiled coldly, "If he knew that you came to harass me, then your family would be closer to complete destruction. Also, he never killed innocent people indiscriminately, and never abused lynching. Since he treats your father and your family like that, there must be his reasons, and you don’t need to dig someone’s hole to find someone to intercede for him. Let him take the initiative to plead guilty in front of King Zhan, so that he can bear his own mistakes, which is more effective than asking me to intercede."
Seeing Shen Ruolan's reluctance to accommodate, Zhao Yuanyuan thought it was because she didn't get any benefits, so she hurriedly winked at the four nuns behind her.
"Thank you, Ms. Shen, for pointing out the maze. My daughter is very grateful. It just so happened that my son's father got a treasure by accident. He felt that his status was low and he didn't deserve to have such a thing, so he specially dedicated it to the girl and King Zhan. Please don't let it go. dislike."
While talking, the four women had already opened the box, and the coral was revealed.
It is a red coral with red body, three feet high and short, placed on a red sandalwood base.
Zhao Yuanyuan believed An An's words, because Shen Ruolan was an ignorant country girl, she would definitely be tempted to see such a good thing, and would definitely agree to his request.
Unexpectedly, Shen Ruolan just glanced at the coral lightly, and asked in a cold voice, "Is Miss Zhao trying to bribe me with the coral? Or is she trying to use this coral to humiliate me?"
Zhao Yuanyuan was taken aback when she heard that, and hurriedly said, "No, I really want to dedicate this coral to King Zhan and the girl, I..."
"sincere?"
Shen Ruolan interrupted her, and said with a sneer, "It's the sincerity, why don't you send it sooner or later, but why do you want to send it when you ask me to do something? You know that I, Shen Ruolan, have such shallow eyesight that a mere coral can make you feel happy." Did I lose my bottom line and my principle? Or did someone who had a grudge against you intentionally trick you into using such a thing to provoke me?"
This is sowing discord!
Zhao Yuanyuan had no brains in the first place. When Shen Ruolan said this, he immediately looked at An An subconsciously, with hesitation and doubt in his eyes.
Seeing this, An An hurriedly smoothed things over and said, "Yuanyuan, since Ms. Shen has said to let your father reflect on it, and then go to apologize to King Zhan in person after reflection, then you can do as Ms. Shen said."
While speaking, he winked at Zhao Yuanyuan.
Zhao Yuanyuan was overwhelmed by the two of them, and she didn't know who to believe, but after thinking that she was more familiar with An An, she chose to believe An An.
So, he said to Shen Ruolan in a low voice, "Miss Shen calm down, it's my fault. I shouldn't have come here to make the girl unhappy. I'll leave now. When I get back, I will follow the girl's order and ask my father to close the door and think about his mistakes before going to the house." Come to the door to apologize... "
While talking, he blessed Shen Ruolan and brought the four women to carry the coral.
After the person left, An An said with a face of shame, "Miss Shen, I'm sorry, I originally wanted to make Mr. Zhao and the prince turn their fights into friendship, but I didn't think well enough to make you unhappy."
Shen Ruolan snorted and said, "To tell you the truth, I'm really upset, because this is not the first time you've plotted against me, but for General Lu's sake, I forgive you this time, it's just you Remember, you can do things again and again, not again and again, this is the last time I will forgive you, if there is a next time, I will not sell anyone's face."
With that said, he got up with a sullen face and walked out. "I'm full, princess, take it easy!"
"Wait a minute, Miss Shen, please stay!" Seeing that Shen Ruolan was about to leave, An An hurriedly got up and left the table, took a few steps to block her, and grabbed her arm.
The moment she was pulled, Shen Ruolan suddenly felt a sharp stabbing pain in her arm, as if being pricked by a needle, Shen Ruolan frowned, and was about to roll up her sleeves to see what was wrong, when she heard An An He said sinisterly, "Miss Shen, I don't want to plot against you either, but you forced me to marry King Zhan, but you snatched him from me. You know how sad I am." , how painful is it?"
Shen Ruolan was startled, she didn't expect her to say such a thing.
During this period of time, they have been getting along very harmoniously. They thought she had forgotten those things in the past, but she never forgot and still hated her.
It's just that if you bear the grudge, you will bear the grudge, why should you say it? Do you want to tear your face off with her? During this period of time, she has been deliberately flattering herself and covering up her heart, so why would she want to reveal her heart at this moment? What good would it do her
Shen Ruolan looked at her steadfastly, for a moment she forgot what happened to the tingling pain in her arm just now.
An An continued, "I didn't do anything wrong, just because he changed his mind, but he asked me to bear the painful consequences. You made me become the laughing stock of everyone from the first lady in the capital, and I couldn't even stay in the capital. Yes. Now I have settled for the second best and married to Jizhou. I wanted to live a quiet life and stop interacting with you, but you are pressing me every step of the way, and you still refuse to let me go. It is not enough to snatch King Zhan away. , seduced my husband, and seduced my husband so fascinated that he didn't want to see me anymore, you forced me, you forced me to plot against you... "
Hearing her words, Shen Ruolan was completely stunned, "When will I seduce your husband? The number of times I've met him can be counted with a single slap, how can I seduce him?"
"You still dare to quibble?" An An lowered her voice, and the expression on her face became more ferocious and distorted, "He's been flirting with you in his dreams, what else do you have to say?"
Shen Ruolan really had nothing to say, because just now, she suddenly became dizzy, and before she had time to think about what was going on, she passed out all of a sudden...
"Ah-"
An An looked at the unconscious Shen Ruolan, sneered, walked to the back window and opened it.
Soon, a tall and thin man dressed as a mistress flew up. He was dark and indifferent, ignoring An An's existence, walked up to Shen Ruolan, picked her up, returned to the window and jumped down.
Behind Hexianju, there is a narrow and narrow alley, which can only allow a carriage to pass through, and in that alley, there is an unremarkable carriage parked.
After the tall and thin man landed, he quickly got into the carriage, and the carriage immediately started running, and disappeared into the alley in a blink of an eye...
Adding up this before and after, it will only take three to five minutes at most!
An An stood behind the window, looking at the carriage that disappeared from sight, with a weird smile on her lips.
Shen Ruolan, you bitch, this time it's up to you...
**
In another private room, Su Su and Yin Yin finished their meal first, then returned to the private room where Shen Ruolan was, and waited at the door, one left and one right.
After waiting for a while, both of them noticed something was wrong.
Both of them are martial arts practitioners with excellent hearing. They stood at the door for a long time, but they didn't hear a word from inside, not even the sound of eating vegetables.
It's not normal!
After Susu and Yinyin realized this, they immediately stood at the door and shouted, "Miss Shen! Miss Shen!"
There was silence inside, and no one responded.
Su Su was startled, raised her hand and pushed open the door.
I saw the back window of the house was wide open, and Princess An'an was lying on the ground, seemingly unconscious. And Miss Shen has long since disappeared!
Oops, something went wrong!
When Su Su and Yin Yin saw that Miss Shen was gone, they both felt as if they had been hit in the head, their faces turned completely pale, so pale that there was no blood in them!
Su Su quickly lifted her skirt, pulled out a cloud-piercing arrow from her boot, flew outside, ignited it and pointed it into the air!
"boom-"
There was a loud noise, and almost half of the people in Jizhou City heard it. Zhiqin, Zhiqi, Zhishu and Zhihua were all shocked when they heard the sound, and they didn't care about eating, so they ran to the princess's house run.
When I ran to the private room where An An was, I saw that An An had passed out on the ground, and Yin Yin was hunched over, searching around the room to find something.
"What's the matter? How did the princess faint?" Zhiqi shouted at Yinyin while going to rescue An'an.
Yin Yin straightened her waist, and gave her a cold look, but did not answer her question.
"Are you talking? Why did my princess faint? Did you do something to my princess?" Zhiqin also shouted angrily.
With a sullen face, Yin Yin walked towards Princess An'an, and said coldly, "If I did something, you can ask your own master and you will know."
After finishing speaking, he stood in front of An An, and at some point there was a silver needle in his hand, and he stabbed at the people of Princess An An.
Stabbing someone with a silver needle is the best way to cure fainting. She shot very quickly, and before Zhishu and others could react, the silver needle had already penetrated into An An's person.
ah-
After An An was stabbed, she screamed and woke up instantly!
"What's going on? Why is it up to me to do what I do? What's the matter?" She opened her eyes and looked blankly at the maids around her.
When Zhiqin saw that she had woken up, she was pleasantly surprised, "Princess, you are awake, you passed out just now, you scared the servants to death!"
"What? I fainted? How could it be?" Princess An'an seemed to have no idea what happened just now, with a dazed look on her face.
Yinyin said coldly, "It's good that the princess wakes up. I don't know how the princess is feeling now. Can you tell the maidservant where my girl is?"
"You... what did you say? Miss Shen, she's gone?" An An couldn't believe it.
"Exactly, my girl is indeed missing. I wonder if the princess can tell the maidservant what happened when you were together just now, so that the maidservant can find some clues." Yin Yin stared at An An and said in a cold voice.
"How did this happen? I remember we were talking to Ms. Zhao, and then I didn't know anything, and then woke up... all of a sudden, I became like this? What the hell is going on?"
An An grabbed her lapel, shaking her head as if frightened, "No? Impossible? You are outside, how could she disappear? Where did she go? You guys It's a good search..."
"You mean, you and Ms. Shen were talking to Ms. Zhao, and then lost consciousness?" Yin Yin asked.
"Yes, but after waking up, Miss Shen disappeared, and Miss Zhao disappeared too..." An An said with an innocent face.
*****
Zhao Yuanyuan never dreamed that he would take Coral to beg for love and offer treasures, but the matter failed, and he was identified as the suspect who kidnapped Ms. Shen, and her parents and family members were imprisoned by her.
"I was wronged, General Lu, my family is really wronged..."
At this moment, Zhao Yuanyuan finally realized that she had been fooled by An An. She burst into tears and wailed: "General Lu, it was Princess An An who asked me to meet Miss Shen. I thought she was doing it for my own good. I listened to her, she asked me to give Miss Shen a gift, saying that Miss Shen was born in a small family and has shallow eyelids, as long as I take valuable things, she will definitely be tempted, and she will definitely speak for my father in front of the prince , that's why I brought the best coral from my house... "
"I really didn't kidnap Miss Shen. Why did I kidnap her? Who doesn't know that she is the prince's favorite person. Didn't I kidnap her to seek death?"
"My father offended King Zhan, and the family was already suffering from anthrax, so why would he cause such trouble for himself?"
"General Lu, please be clear, don't wrong a good person..."
Zhao Yuanyuan spoke sincerely and exchanged tears, not at all like lying, which made Lu Yuan suspicious.
A boudoir girl with no experience in the world can't be so good at acting. If she really did it, she would be able to see some flaws no matter where she is, but looking at her expression and listening to her words, there is no flaw at all. She really didn't kidnap Miss Shen, did she really wrong her
However, An An said with certainty that she lost consciousness when Zhao Yuanyuan was still there, and found that Shen Ruolan had disappeared after waking up, which proved that it was Zhao Yuanyuan who did it.
what is going on? Who is lying anymore? Lu Yuan was not sure for a while.
In order to thoroughly investigate the matter, he arrested the shopkeeper, waiter, handyman, and cooks of Zuixianju, interrogated them one by one, and searched for clues. As a result, the few clues obtained without exception showed that It was indeed Zhao Yuanyuan who did it.
Xiao Er once said that he had seen Zhao Yuanyuan and the others showing nervous expressions when they came down the stairs, and the boxes carried by the women seemed to be more difficult than before!
The handyman said that he once saw Zhao Yuanyuan and the others driving away in a carriage, as if they were shooting arrows, and those who didn't know thought they were fleeing for their lives...
Faced with so much evidence, Lu Yuan could no longer be indifferent, and ordered people to interrogate him strictly, and must find out the whereabouts of Miss Shen!
Seeing that Lu Yuan was so caring, An An felt colder and colder. She sneered secretly. Fortunately, she used this trick so well that they all thought it was Zhao Yuanyuan who did it, and gave them enough time to let them Can successfully take that bitch Shen Ruolan out of Chu State!
Thinking of King Zhan's pain after losing her, and Lu Yuan's loss of losing her, An An felt that it was so cool, there was nothing in her life that made her happier than this!
