"Emperor, this old minister did not teach my daughter well and did such a thing. This old minister is very guilty, please punish me!”
Situ Feng saw that Situ Mantian had been taken away, so he pretended to beg Chu Yijing for forgiveness.
He, Situ Feng, was an official of the court. As the current Prime Minister, he must have many supporters in the court. Otherwise, how could he sit firmly in this position of being below one person and above ten thousand people?
"Emperor, this has nothing to do with Prime Minister Situ. Now that the princess has already married out of the Prime Minister's residence, please reconsider!”
Before Chu Yijing could say anything, a man in court clothes stood out from the crowd and looked at Chu Yijing.
As soon as he finished speaking, many people in the crowd echoed.
Chu Yijing frowned and glanced at the silent Chu Yixuan. He looked away as if nothing had happened.
"Prime Minister Situ, you don't have to be so nervous. Wait until I find out that this has nothing to do with you.”
There was a faint smile on his face, as if he was comforting him not to worry about this matter.
However, in reality, only he knew what he was thinking.
"It's getting late today. Dear ministers, you should go back and rest as soon as possible.”
Seeing Chu Yijing start to chase the guests away, the ministers did not stay any longer and turned around to leave.
"Third brother, I'm curious about the situation between you and the princess. You said that the princess poisoned your wine, so why would the princess deal with you?”
Chu Yiyuan asked after all the officials had left.
Just now, when the two of them were kissing in public, he thought that their relationship was very good. After hearing Chu Yixuan's explanation, he realized that he had thought too simply!
"Yiyuan, don't be in a hurry to ask Yixuan. I want to ask you, where were you when I was attacked by the woman in white?”
Chu Yijing seemed to have remembered something and looked at Chu Yiyuan with dissatisfaction. The scene was too chaotic just now and he had forgotten about Chu Yiyuan's existence.
Chu Yiyuan's eyes flickered. He didn't go anywhere at that time. He just sat at the side and watched the show.
Everyone knew that the assassination was premeditated by someone else. Compared to the mastermind, it was one of them.
He had stayed on the mountain for quite a few days and had distanced himself from them. Besides, he knew Chu Yixuan's Kung Fu skills!
A mere female assassin was nothing to him.
Chu Yijing saw that Chu Yiyuan did not say anything, so he did not press him further.
"Zhen is a little tired today. You can go back.”
He waved his hand tiredly. His brows were filled with fatigue. He must have been surprised by such a thing today.
Chu Yijing and his concubine left together. The originally noisy imperial garden became deserted, leaving only two figures.
"I want to ask third brother, how long have you and wangfei been married?”
Chu Yixuan didn't know why she asked that question. He retracted his gaze from Chu Yijing and looked at him.
"It's been more than a month."
"Third brother and wangfei have been married for more than a month, but you were able to place wangfei in front of you to block that sword without any hesitation. It seems that third brother does not have any feelings for this newlywed wife.”
His face was full of smiles, but his tone was filled with mockery.
Chu Yixuan looked at the mockery in his eyes and his eyes darkened. He curled his lips.
"You don't have to care so much about this!"
Then, he turned around and left!
There were too many clothes to be washed. Lian Xin was busy for a long time, but she still could not finish washing them. From time to time, there would be some elderly people pointing fingers at her, and their attitudes were bad.
Lian Xin endured it one by one. This kind of thing had already happened in the Prime Minister's residence.
Moreover, she couldn't implicate the young miss now, so she had to be more careful in her actions from now on.
Just like that, she continued to suck in cold air. When she finally finished washing the pile of dirty clothes, Lian Xin realized that it was getting late!
It was clearly a cold and windy day, but her forehead was covered in fine sweat.
"It's getting late now. Miss should be back by now.”
The laundry room was not far from the east courtyard. Lian Xin was in a hurry to go back, so she did not pay attention to what the servant girls were talking about.
After Situ Manyao moved into the East Court, all the maids followed the Green Court to the Greencloud Pavilion.
Thus, there were only two people left in the east courtyard.
Lian Xin had just entered the courtyard when she realized that there was no one in the room. She was shocked. Could it be that Miss had not returned yet?
Perhaps it was because she usually stayed with the Young Lady and was used to staying with her. She was not stupid and naturally knew that the other servant girls in the residence did not like her, so she rarely spoke to others.
Lian Xin felt a little disappointed. Situ Manyao was very good to her, and the two of them had gradually become friends.
She patiently waited in the room until it was dark. Only then did she realize that something must have happened. Without hesitation, she ran to Chu Yixuan's study.
The servant girls in the residence were also divided into ranks. Those lowly servant girls could only move around in the backyard. Fortunately, Lian Xin was Situ Manyao's personal servant girl, so she naturally did not have those restrictions.
"The emperor hasn't investigated this matter clearly yet. In a few days, when the emperor has a result, he will naturally tell me!”
Chu Yixuan looked at Ling Feng indifferently and continued to work on his hands.
"But, the princess is injured. Isn't it wrong to leave her in the prison like this…"
Ling Feng did not expect so many things to happen just by attending a birthday banquet.
Her eyebrows were tightly knitted together.
Before he could finish speaking, he heard a knock on the door.
Ling Feng instantly fell silent, and the two of them looked at each other.
"Your Highness, Lian Xin has something to ask for an audience!"
Seeing that no one answered after knocking for a long time, Lian Xin became even more anxious.
Ling Feng glanced at Chu Yixuan subconsciously. Seeing that he didn't say anything, he turned around and opened the door.
She saw Lian Xin standing at the door with an anxious expression. The tip of her nose was covered in sweat from running.
"Wangye, where's my young miss?"
Perhaps because she was too anxious, she couldn't care about anything else and asked anxiously before she stepped into the study.
Chu Yixuan's eyes darkened. The moment he saw Lian Xin, he was reminded of Situ Manyao's crimes at the banquet.
His heart trembled." Who taught you to be so unruly? Shouldn't you greet His Highness first?"”
His voice was extremely low and his face was expressionless. Lian Xin was so frightened that she didn't dare to say another word.
Ling Feng naturally understood what Chu Yixuan meant and gave Lian Xin a look.
"Greetings, Your Highness."”
Chu Yixuan snorted in response.
"Wangye, in the morning, young miss left with wangye. Now that wangye has returned, why is young miss nowhere to be seen?”
She was just a small servant. The young lady who was closest to her had disappeared, so she was also empty.
Chu Yixuan's anger grew at the mention of Situ Manyao and he snorted coldly.
"How dare you mention that b * tch in front of me!”
His eyes were filled with ruthlessness. It was as if he would stretch out his hands and strangle Situ Mantian to death if she was in front of him right now!
Lian Xin was shocked. She knew that something must have happened to Situ Manyao.
"Your Highness…"
She didn't dare to ask again, but she didn't want to leave without asking for an answer.
"Lianxin, you can go back first."
Ling Feng knew that Chu Yixuan was very angry now. With his temper, he would never marry Lian Xin calmly.
In order to avoid harming Lian Xin, he advised her to go back first.
"But Miss, she…"
"Lian Xin, don't be anxious, okay?"
Ling Feng interrupted Lian Xin." I will tell you what happened to the princess consort later. Now, go back and wait patiently."”
There was a hint of fatigue between his brows, but his hurried eyes were very convincing!
Lian was so anxious that her eyes turned red. In the end, she still listened to him.
She still remembered what Chu Yixuan had done to her that night. His Highness was not someone to be trifled with!
After Lian Xin left, the entire study fell silent.
Ling Feng thought for a moment and looked at Chu Yixuan.
"Since the matter has already come to this, we will not interfere for now and leave this matter to the emperor.”
"That's exactly what I was thinking. In order to prevent the emperor from suspecting that I was the one who instigated Situ Mantian, I will not interfere in this matter no matter what the final outcome is!”
"If the princess is innocent and the emperor wants to use this opportunity to kill the chicken to warn the monkeys, won't the princess…"
Ling Feng was still a little worried. The assassination this time was clearly prepared. If the Emperor wanted to give a warning to those who had the intention to rebel and did not hesitate to kill the Princess Consort…
"If that's really the case, then she can only be considered unlucky. I won't care about this matter.”
Chu Yixuan laughed coldly, as if this dismissal was a lesson Situ Manyao deserved.
"Feng, you don't have to worry about anything else. Is there still no progress on Yuqing's matter?”
Speaking of Ji Yuqing, his eyes instantly turned gentle, and his entire face softened.
Ling Feng knew that once he, Chu Yixuan, decided on something, it was inevitable. He didn't say anything more and nodded without saying anything else. However, he suddenly thought of Situ Manyao's beautiful back and her stubborn eyes, and an inexplicable feeling rose in his heart.
It shouldn't be like this!
If the person behind the scenes was not her, she should not have suffered such injustice.
Ling Feng recalled the conversation between the two of them at the back door that day and could not help but smile.
He knew that she was a woman who dared to love and hate.
And such an upright woman would not do such a despicable thing!
Ling Feng looked at Chu Yixuan's slightly lowered head and felt a little lost.
Since when did he trust her so much?
Just like the murder of Ji Yuqing.
He didn't know her very well, and the two of them had only met a few times.
However, when he saw her eyes, he could not believe that someone with such eyes would do such a thing.
It sounded ridiculous.
Just like himself, he could not understand it either.# Daguan Review Passed: Daguan Time:111420184: 35PM #Cancel Review All: wdd201302 Time:111420185: 55PM #
