The king's mainland talent plunder

Chapter 187 The Sad Shangguan Wan'er

The white cat and Feng cat chattered, and the atmosphere at the table quickly became active. The three white cat brothers gradually became more relaxed. They chatted and bragged while eating meat and drinking, which made Jia Luo laugh constantly.

Contrary to the lively atmosphere at the table, Shangguan Wan'er, who would usually join in the conversation, was unusually silent today. Her eyes were dull, and the rice in the bowl was hardly touched.

Zheng Qing noticed Shangguan Wan'er's strangeness, and he asked, "What's the matter, Wan'er? You seem to be preoccupied?"

Shangguan Wan'er didn't seem to hear Zheng Qing's words, she was still sitting there distracted, looking stupid.

"Wan'er?" Zheng Qing called Shangguan Wan'er again, but Shangguan Wan'er still didn't seem to hear, Zheng Qing continued to call: "Wan'er? Wan'er? What's wrong with you?"

At this time, Shangguan Wan'er seemed to be awakened by a start, she said in a daze, "Huh?"

"Wan'er, do you have something on your mind?" Zheng Qing asked, "Tell me what's wrong, and I'll try my best to help you solve it."

Zheng Qing guessed something Shangguan Waner was thinking about, but like Pei Qinhu, Zheng Qing didn't want to hurt Shangguan Waner, he wanted to fool Shangguan Waner like Pei Qinhu.

Shangguan Wan'er bit her lips lightly, and tightly pinched the corners of her clothes with both hands. After hesitating for a long time, Shangguan Wan'er said, "Teacher, come to my room after dinner."

"Okay." Zheng Qing nodded.

After dinner, the bowls were handed over to the three white cat brothers to wash. Zheng Qing followed Shangguan Wan'er into her room. Shangguan Wan'er closed the door, made Zheng Qing a pot of tea, and said, "Teacher, this I have been having the same nightmare for two months, in which a blood-stained peony lingers, and when the peony blooms, it encloses my grandfather's head."

"Is it such a weird dream?" Zheng Qing frowned slightly.Zheng Qing naturally knew that the peony represented himself.

"My family's ancestor was the Taifu who was the prince. My grandfather served as the Taifu and taught the prince." Shangguan Wan'er told Zheng Qing the story of her family and the decline of the family.

"I have been in charge of books in the palace since I grew up. I met Bian Que not long ago, and he told me that the person who caused the downfall of the Shangguan family is you, Teacher." Applying to leave the palace, I would like to be His Majesty's eyes and ears, and record the life in the city for His Majesty."

"After successfully leaving the palace, I came to Yaotian." Then Shangguan Wan'er got herself another bottle of poison from Bian Que, but buried the poison under a tree beside the Chang'an River.

Then Zheng Qing asked: "Since you suspect that I am the murderer who caused the downfall of the Shangguan family, why did you hide the poison again?"

"Because you have adopted many orphans, teacher, so I know you are kind, so I didn't take the poison with me." Shangguan Wan'er then told Zheng Qing all her views on Zheng Qing, until now , Shangguan Wan'er no longer has any secrets in front of Zheng Qing.

There was a complex emotion in Shangguan Wan'er's eyes, Shangguan Wan'er asked as if begging: "Teacher, tell me, you are not the murderer who destroyed the Shangguan family, are you teacher?"

This trust from Shangguan Wan'er caused Zheng Qing's heart to suffer a heavy blow.

Since coming to King's Continent, this is probably the first time that Zheng Qing has been trusted so much, right?This trust even defeated her family feud, and she was willing to believe what she saw with her own eyes to fight against her family feud.

How much courage did this take?
Zheng Qing fell silent.This trust of Shangguan Wan'er made Zheng Qing ashamed, remembering the scene when he pressed Shangguan Wan'er to the ground when they first met, and remembering that he wanted to fool Shangguan Wan'er like fooling Pei Qinhu, Zheng Qing felt extremely ashamed. As for making Zheng Qing unable to bear to deceive Shangguan Wan'er.

Zheng Qing is constantly struggling in his heart, which is a struggle between reason and conscience.

To deceive Shangguan Wan'er is for the sake of the overall situation; to tell Shangguan Wan'er the truth is a victory of conscience.

In front of Shangguan Wan'er, the two are equally important.If she deceived Shangguan Wan'er, Shangguan Wan'er will be extremely disappointed in herself if Di Renjie finds out the truth in the future, because she is ashamed of her rock-solid trust.

But after telling Shangguan Wan'er the truth, Zheng Qing couldn't believe the consequences.

This is a felony that turns the royal family against each other!

Without Ming Shiyin's bewitching, perhaps the crown prince would not have breakfast, Taizong and crown prince would not turn against each other, and the Shangguan family would not fall like a meteor.

Shangguan Wan'er is like a pure girl who doesn't eat fireworks in the world, Zheng Qing can't bear to deceive her; if she doesn't deceive herself, she will suffer heavy punishment, Zheng Qing dare not gamble.

Compared with Shangguan Wan'er, her own life is the most important.

In the end, reason is still the conscience that prevails. In this matter, Zheng Qing can only be selfish. All conscience is meaningful only if he is alive. of."

From a certain point of view, this matter was indeed not done by Zheng Qing. It was Ming Shiyin who accidentally injured the Shangguan family, not Zheng Qing.

This kind of thinking is Zheng Qing's own thinking of lying to himself, which can make Zheng Qing feel better.

After receiving Zheng Qing's answer, Shangguan Wan'er seemed to have moved away from the meteorite above her head. She breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the sweat off her brow, and then said very gratefully: "Thank you, teacher, thank you. Thank you You didn't let me lose a teacher I trusted so much, thank you very much!"

"Wan'er, you have to believe that I will never harm you, never." This sentence is true, Zheng Qing thought from the bottom of his heart, and then Zheng Qing continued: "If someone wants to use you, hurt you You, I will kill him."

"Teacher, I believe in you!" Shangguan Wan'er nodded heavily, "It's a good thing I didn't bring poison on me, and it's a good thing I didn't poison you, otherwise my conscience would be severely punished, and I myself I can’t live anymore. Teacher, I’m really happy now!”

Zheng Qing stood up slowly, looked at the pure Shangguan Wan'er, who looked as pure as a diamond without any impurities, and when a little light shined on it, it would burst into shining light, Zheng Qing said: "Wan'er, from now on these worldly You don’t want to think about it, the teacher will find the murderer for you. I don’t want you to be deceived or betrayed.”

Hearing Zheng Qing's words, Shangguan Wan'er thought that Zheng Qing was disappointed in her, because she so easily believed the words of a stranger like Bian Que, Shangguan Wan'er's heart tightened, and she hurriedly said: "Teacher, I will never be casual in the future." I have listened to other people's words, don't drive me away, don't be disappointed in me, Wan'er will protect herself, teacher, please don't drive me away."
