Those years when I was Princess Yan

Chang Mingzhu panicked for a moment, this was the smile she had been looking forward to seeing so many days and nights, she wanted to immerse herself in it, but she knew what this smile from King Yan meant to her, it was a feeling of disgust that sent chills down the spine laugh.But no matter how Yan Wang misunderstands her now, as long as she has a chance to explain in the future, she will definitely let him understand her heart and be moved by it.

"Fei Die? Are you my sister Fei Die?" The captured maid named Sui Feiyan burst into tears after seeing her maid Xiang Cao.

Vanilla was also in a daze, and after recognizing her sister, she began to cry.The sisters have been separated for so many years and have not been able to see each other. They did not expect to see each other in such a situation now.

Mrs. Wang carefully screened Suifeiyan and vanilla.They were almost identical in appearance, except that they wore different clothes, one was light blue and the other was light green.

"Xiangcao has been standing with the maids just now, and has never left." The maids around Princess Jin hurriedly testified.

It is reasonable to say that there are countless things like testimonies from my own family members, but now that there is another one who is exactly the same, their testimonies will have a certain effect.

"It's her!" Mrs. Wang pointed to Sui Feiyan who was wearing a light blue dress. "She was wearing this dress when she saw me. When I saw Miss Vanilla just now, I thought she had changed clothes."

Sui Feiyan kowtowed tremblingly and pleaded guilty: "Miss Chang San sent the slaves to look for Mrs. Wang, under the guise of Princess Jin's orders, let Mrs. Wang poison the eighth bowl of cheese, and then put the blame on others, so it will be safe."

The concubine, the prince and others were shocked when they heard that she had identified Chang Mingzhu.

"You're talking nonsense!" Chang Mingzhu hurriedly cried to the princess, "I've never seen this maid before, and she's not my maid at all. I've seen all the maids around me, elder sister, look at her like this , have you ever seen it?"

After Chang Mingzhu finished speaking, the six maids who followed her knelt down to testify, saying that they were the only six maids who followed Chang Mingzhu from the beginning to the end, and they didn't even know who the maid who just pleaded guilty was.

Seeing this scene, Zhu Di calmly picked up the tea on the table and sipped it by himself, not bothering to watch what they were doing.

Xu Qingqing looked very anxiously, she really didn't expect that Chang Mingzhu would keep one after another behind her, and she could play tricks at this point.Why is she so good, who is the teacher?

Xu Qingqing couldn't help but look sideways at Zhu Di who was calmly drinking tea over there.The lord was calm, a little abnormally calm, after all Chang Mingzhu had acted so badly, and he was a maid caught by his people, so he was not in a hurry at all.

Xu Qingqing leaned over to Zhu Di and asked him if he knew anything?Very sure?Wait a while to make a big move?

Zhu Di swallowed the tea in his mouth, and looked at Xu Qingqing with a half-smile: "I disappoint you, your man is not that powerful."

Xu Qingqing looked at him suspiciously, saying that she was not that powerful, but why was she so happy?Treacherous, strange.She didn't believe that Zhu Di didn't have a big move, he must be showing off, but she didn't want to reveal it to herself.

"I don't know what sister Mingzhu means by this? You didn't bring her here, and she didn't come from this mansion, but this servant girl looks exactly like mine. This clearly implies that I brought this servant girl here?"

Mrs. Xie has never been in a bad mood, but just now he was suddenly accused of being suspected for no reason, and he was already extremely angry.Now seeing that Chang Mingzhu seems to be pointing something, how can she sit still.

"Prince Jin misunderstood, Mingzhu absolutely has no such intention." Chang Mingzhu hastily apologized to Xie again.

Compared with Xie's pungent and verbal, Chang Mingzhu's concise apology sounded reasonable and not guilty.

Zhu Yan snorted, he and the Xie family are family after all, so it is natural to speak for the Xie family at this time, "It is true that there have never been two maidservants who look the same in the mansion. You also saw it just now, the two sisters just met each other."

"It's strange, there is an extra servant girl for no reason, and no one recognizes it. But how could this servant girl appear here?" The prince did not expect that today's brother and sister reunion, which is a good event, would be caused by such a farce. It was hard to beat.

Sui Feiyan: "The servant girl did follow Miss Chang's orders—"

"Shut up! You still want to frame my lady!" The maid beside Chang Mingzhu angrily shouted and stopped her from speaking.

"I think there is something strange about this matter, why don't you hand over this maidservant to me for interrogation, and when the result of the interrogation comes out, I will present the confession to my eldest brother." Zhu Di said suddenly, and ended the current scene with one sentence.

Chang Mingzhu hurriedly took the opportunity to explain to Zhu Di: "Prince Yan, I was wronged, I really—"

"Everyone, because she was frightened, I'm afraid we won't be able to eat this meal, so let's leave first." Zhu Di completely ignored what Chang Mingzhu said. He took Xu Qingqing's hand, and said to the prince and King Qin, "Please The three brothers and sisters-in-law, fifth brother and third sister forgive me!"

Everyone hurriedly said that it was okay, and greeted Xu Qingqing again, letting her have a good rest.

On the way back, Xu Qingqing thought that what Zhu Di said to her before was indeed true. "Your man is not that powerful", not only "not that powerful", he also cut off the result of the questioning that was about to be cleared up, abruptly making this matter an unsolved case.

But everyone present has brains, and they are all the same as her. Asking about this matter after seeing it clearly will definitely lead to results.But after being interrupted by Zhu Di, no one refuted his proposal, and everyone seemed to have a common understanding.

This made Xu Qingqing feel like she was a novice in the royal family and hadn't understood their unspoken rules yet.

After returning home, Xu Qingqing insisted on participating in the interrogation, and immediately listened to Sui Feiyan's testimony.

"The servant girl's name is Sui Feiyan. When she was six years old, she and her twin sister, Sui Feidie, were taken as official slaves. After that, the servant girl was assigned to the Shangfu Bureau. The sister's whereabouts are unknown. The servant girl was going to the Spring Harmony Palace a few days ago. On the way to deliver the clothes, I met Miss Chang San. Miss Chang San asked the maid's name, and said that she had seen a maid who looked exactly like the maid. The maid knew that it must be the younger sister that the maid had not been able to find for many years. , I begged Third Miss Chang to tell me where my sister was.

Miss Chang San promised that as long as the maidservant would do one thing for her, she would beg the concubine to ask the maidservant and the maidservant sister to come to her side so that the maidservant and sister could be reunited. When she got married in the future, the maidservant and sister would come You can also leave the palace together.The servant girl obeyed Miss Chang San's order, and in the name of Princess Jin, gave the porcelain vase to Mrs. Wang, and went to hide in the place she designated.But the maid didn't know what was in the porcelain vase, and the maid didn't know even more. Third Miss Chang actually took advantage of the similarity between the maid and the maid's sister to frame Princess Jin and the maid's sister. "

"She wanted to kill you to silence her. In the room where you are resting, there is a bowl of tea prepared. You were planning to drink it before I arrested you." Qiu Fu put the bowl of tea he collected on the table In the morning, in front of Sui Feiyan, he used a silver needle to test the poison, and the silver needle immediately turned black.

Sui Feiyan was so frightened that she trembled all over with anger and shed tears.

"Why is she so ruthless? The servant girl just wanted to find her younger sister. What did the servant girl do wrong to apologize to her and to harm us like this. If the maidservant really drank this tea and died, there would be no proof of her death. How could the maidservant's younger sister be so cruel?" Is it not clear that you are guilty?"

The whole interrogation process was simple and clear, clear and effortless.If you come on the spot, it will definitely go smoothly like this.

Xu Qingqing is now waiting for Zhu Di to explain to her what the unspoken rules are, and why this case cannot be interrogated in front of everyone.

Zhu Di was stared at by Xu Qingqing's longing almond eyes for a while, and was forced to explain.

"Not everything in this world is black and white. This matter is related to the Chang family, the princess, and then the prince. If it is sorted out on the bright side, it will be a major matter that both the government and the opposition will discuss. The boss said In the words of the Xi family, most of them don’t ask the truth but only the position, and after arguing and fighting, they ignore the original intention and become a power struggle.”

"Chang Mingzhu's actions are enough to kill her, but the most important thing is how to die in a clever way that only hurts her alone and does not hurt the prince's face."

Not protecting the crown prince's face is shaking the foundation of the country, not only offending the crown prince, but also displeasing the empress.

Xu Qingqing understood that this was the 'hidden rule'.

Now the king of Yan brought the witnesses back and reported them in private later, which not only saved the prince's face, but also made the prince feel that he owed them a favor.This is naturally the most sensible approach.Anyway, Xu Qingqing only wanted a good result, so the simpler the process, the better.

"The eldest brother will definitely give us a satisfactory explanation. In fact, he is the person who is more afraid now. After all, this secret is in our hands."

Xu Qingqing felt that Zhu Di's move was really clever, he held the secret in his hands, sat behind the scenes, and then left all the dirty work of dealing with people and offending people to the prince.

'Your man is not that powerful', this is really modest.

But it is true that a woman who likes her man is 'powerful'.

"This Chang Mingzhu just gave me a chronic poison some time ago, but now her crown has turned red, and she died in one bite." Xu Qingqing sighed, "Is the lord afraid that I may not see through it, and really drank that bowl of cheese?"

"No." Zhu Di seemed to agree casually, but it showed that he had the momentum to control everything, and then he snorted again, "Who told you to poach someone else's corner plum?"

"Could it be that the prince is helping outsiders to run on me?" Xu Qingqing asked half-jokingly.

"I didn't understand it at first, but after thinking about it, if anyone dares to touch the things I cherish, I will kill people." When Zhu Di said this, he stared at Xu Qingqing deeply.

Xu Qingqing was scratching her head, thinking that her act of poaching people's corners was really a wise move. Look, this angered her, and she was attacked in minutes.Defense by day and night, always worrying, it is better to catch and get away as soon as possible.

"But this is a coincidence. The maids of the Shangfu Bureau spend most of their time making clothes and embroidering, and rarely go out. Sui Feiyan occasionally goes to deliver clothes once in a while, and Chang Mingzhu happens to be watching her gone."

Xu Qingqing actually had another sentence, which happened to happen just after she poached Chang Mingzhu by poaching the corner plum.

She suspected that it was man-made, but seeing Zhu Di drinking tea calmly and seeming indifferent to her statement, Xu Qingqing didn't investigate further, and it was useless as she had no evidence.Maybe there is such a coincidence in the world.

Besides, the crown prince Zhu Biao, after returning to the East Palace, was furious and ordered the crown princess Chang to investigate the matter of her sister.If he is really innocent, everything is easy to say; if not, there should be an explanation, after all, the key witness is still with the fourth child.

He wasn't worried that the fourth child would expose his shortcomings, he knew that the fourth child had always been measured.But as the eldest brother, he has to be a role model for his brothers. If someone around him really made a mistake, and even murdered the fourth son's wife, he must not be tolerated.

"Your Highness, this matter is so absurd, how can it have anything to do with Mingzhu? This child seldom talks on weekdays and only reads poetry and books. She has only met her fourth sibling two or three times, so why would she hate her so much?"

When Chang saw the crown prince scolding herself suddenly, she felt aggrieved, and her eyes immediately turned red, but due to her status as the crown princess, she suppressed tears to maintain her dignity.

"You don't even know that your good sister has admired my fourth brother for a long time?"

"What?" Chang took a step back in surprise, almost unable to stand still, "Mingzhu actually likes him?"

Zhu Biao sneered, really didn't know what to say.As the so-called "one leaf blinds the eyes", the more you care about the person in front of you, the easier it is to see one-sidedly and be blinded.Why is he not? If the eunuch beside him reminded him, he would still be kept in the dark.

"Your sister, you should ask yourself. Besides, from now on, she is not allowed to step out of the house." After Zhu Biao explained, he took a deep look at Chang's, and went away with his hands behind his back.

Chang felt that the prince's look at her was full of blame for herself.

That's right, if her own sister really did the thing of poisoning and murdering Princess Yan, as the Crown Princess who advocated raising her younger sister in the East Palace, she would be half responsible.It was she who was negligent and stupid in handling things, and she would embarrass the prince along with her, and even make him unable to hold his head up in front of his brothers.

Chang hoped that the matter was not as serious as they thought, and prayed that all this was just a misunderstanding, and Mingzhu had nothing to do with this matter at all.

It must be so.

Chang-shi hurried to see Chang Mingzhu, seeing her sitting by the window silently, Chang-shi raised her hand, making Chang Mingzhu turn her head and look at her.

"You tell elder sister that poisoning Princess Yan has nothing to do with you, does it?"

Chang stared closely at Chang Mingzhu's eyeballs, but the next moment she saw Chang Mingzhu dodge her own eyes and lowered her eyes guiltily.

"you--"

"Sister, I'm sorry!" Chang Mingzhu knelt down, tears falling like beads strung together.

"Are you crazy!" Chang yelled, she had been dignified for the princess for so many years, and she had never shouted so loudly like now.

"Eldest sister, I also have my own difficulties, and I have reserved all these things. It shouldn't be so easy to get evidence and plant it on me. But I didn't expect that maid to be—"

"Shut up!" She pushed Chang Mingzhu away, panting heavily, trying to solve the problem of her sudden chest tightness.She is so angry!

Seeing this, Chang Mingzhu hurriedly knelt on the ground, asking Mrs. Chang to calm down first.

She has been a crown princess in these years, and she is careful and thoughtful in everything, and there is no one who does not praise her.Only when it comes to the matter of the youngest sister, she indulged a bit, thinking that she is a young girl, and her appearance is not as upright as other sisters, so there is no harm in letting her live a little more freely and comfortably, and she is not too much Restrain her.But it never occurred to me that something happened because of this.

Chang asked Chang Mingzhu to explain everything to her happily.

Chang Mingzhu shook her head, sniffed and cried, "I can't say it. I know I said it. The elder sister will definitely blame herself and blame herself. I don't say anything. When the prince's brother-in-law asks, the elder sister really doesn't like it." Knowing that, the prince's brother-in-law will naturally forgive the elder sister."

"You and I are sisters. I raised you to grow up in the East Palace. If I didn't know about it, I could have escaped. If this matter is just closed, it's just our East Palace family. Do you know who you covet?" , Whose wife did you murder! King Yan, that is the person who even your brother-in-law has scruples!"

When Chang Mingzhu heard Chang's mention of King Yan, she lowered her eyes, and after a moment of silence, she whispered, "I don't regret it."

Snapped--

Chang's slapped Chang Mingzhu's face bitterly.

"shameless!"

After the beating, Chang was so angry that he almost lost his footing.After being beaten, Chang Mingzhu still knelt on the spot with a stubborn face.

Chang couldn't help laughing, this is her good sister.Well, that's great!

Finally, with the help of her maid, Chang left the room, scolded the palace servants for keeping a close eye on Chang Mingzhu, not allowing her to leave even half a step, and at the same time replaced all the maids around her who needed to be used, and replaced them all with strangers.

Chang Mingzhu panicked when she heard this, she hurriedly got up and rushed to the door, begging Chang not to treat her like this.But Chang didn't bother to pay attention to her, and with the support of the palace servants, she left without looking back.

That night the crown prince received the testimony from King Yan, not only Sui Feiyan's statement, but also the testimony of other people in the palace.When Chang Mingzhu and Sui Feiyan met in the palace, a young eunuch happened to pass by and witnessed it.This point is enough to show that Chang Mingzhu's so-called never seeing Sui Feiyan is lying.

The crown prince showed all the evidence to Chang, and Chang fell ill the next day and couldn't get out of bed.

After thinking about it, the prince felt that the matter was of great importance. Although he could handle it on his own and give Chang Mingzhu a result of illness and death, he couldn't explain it to his fourth sibling, so he shouldn't have wronged her like this.

The prince reported the matter to the queen, and asked her to decide how to deal with it, and arrange a reasonable compensation for the four younger siblings.And no matter how it is arranged, he is willing to accept it.

Xu Qingqing was then called to the palace by Queen Ma.Xu Qingqing will still grasp this kind of measure, of course she is modest and sensible, and doesn't want anything.

But the prince really wanted to make up for Xu Qingqing, so he inquired about Xu Qingqing's preferences, and heard that Jin Wang and Qin Wang said that she liked both the isolated medical book and gold, silver and jade wares, so he asked someone to get some more and sent them to Xu Qingqing.

As for Chang Mingzhu, she didn't wait for a trial, didn't wait for a defense, and didn't even wait for someone to execute her.

Suddenly one day, when she woke up, her surroundings had changed. She was wearing clothes only worn by nuns, and her head was bald without a single hair.Chang Mingzhu looked at herself in the mirror and went crazy with shock.She was going to find her eldest sister, but when she opened the door, she found that the doors and windows were locked, and there were guards outside, and she was not allowed to go out at all.Apart from scriptures, there are only Buddhist beads and wooden fish in the room, and the only colorful thing is a dried red plum blossom in a vase in the corner.

Chang Mingzhu looked at the plum blossom every day, but she was not in despair.She will not seek death by herself, as long as she can live, she must live, because he said that one day, one day, someone will discover the beauty of Duxiang Hanmei.As long as you don't die, it means you still have a chance.

"The Crown Princess is seriously ill. I heard that she won't last long."

"The grandson is not in good health recently because he serves his mother with medicine."

"I heard that the Chang family members dare not go to the East Palace to visit the Crown Princess, for fear that His Highness the Crown Prince will be unhappy."

"Why, why did this happen? Eldest sister, is she alright?" After Chang Mingzhu heard the words, recalling all the care her elder sister had taken for her over the years, she shed tears and kept knocking on the window to ask questions.

When the maids outside the window heard the movement in the room, they all asked who she was.Chang Mingzhu then revealed her true identity.

"Didn't she die of illness, why is she still alive?"

"That's right, it's rumored that she violated some rules in the palace and was dealt with quietly. That's why the Chang family was wronged, and they didn't even bother to say anything about her burial."

When Chang Mingzhu heard that what happened behind her was so bleak, she sneered, squatted down along the wall, hugged her knees and cried bitterly.

What is she so persistent for? Is it worth it? It's not worth it at all, and everything is not worth it.She is too obsessed with people who don't care about her, but she hurts her eldest sister who has been taking care of and caring for her...

King Yan just saw her by chance and just casually comforted her with a word.The elder sister said the same thing to her hundreds of times.From childhood to adulthood, the eldest sister has always taken care of and encouraged herself in every detail.Who is the one who is really good to her, she can't tell, she has never been able to tell.

She is so ridiculous, so ridiculous!

Chang Mingzhu ran to pick up the vase with dried plum blossoms in the corner, broke the plum blossoms, and threw the vase hard on the ground.She picked up the sharpest piece of broken porcelain, cut her finger first, and left behind a bloody book...

It was already an hour later when Zhu Di saw the blood book.

Qiu Fu told Zhu Diren that he was dead, and after breaking the vase, he used broken porcelain pieces.

"It's burned." Zhu Di was not interested in reading blood books, and his voice was calm.

"This blood letter is for the Crown Princess." Qiu Fu quickly explained.

Zhu Di looked up at him coldly.

Qiu Fufang knew that he was talking too much, the prince must have guessed it.After all, Chang Mingzhu had already broken the dried plum in the corner of the wall she was looking at every day, and the vase was broken.That was the 'thought' that the prince deliberately set up for her, just to let her persist in living to see what happened afterwards.When it comes to revenge, the death of those who are obsessed with obsession is useless, and only when they know their remorse before they die is called true killing.

At this time Xu Qingqing came in with ginseng soup, saw Qiu Fu holding a blood book in his hand, and asked curiously what it was.

With the prince's silent approval, Qiu Fu handed the blood book to Xu Qingqing.

After Xu Qingqing read it, she was surprised and asked Zhu Di why he didn't give the blood book to the princess, "When a person is about to die, his words are good. Since she woke up before she died, she should let the princess know about it."

"If you want sister-in-law to leave early, you can give it to me." Zhu Di agreed.

Xu Qingqing thinks about it too, this blood book is a great stimulus to the crown princess.She felt ashamed because of Chang Mingzhu's matter, so she couldn't think about getting sick. If she was stimulated with Chang Mingzhu's blood book at this moment, she would definitely be emotional.

"Forget it." Xu Qingqing returned the blood book to Qiu Fu, but the prince was more thoughtful than her.

"My lord should go back to Fengyang tomorrow, so I won't go, I want to stay here." Xu Qingqing deliberately discussed with Zhu Di like this when he was drinking ginseng soup.

Zhu Di put down the soup cup in his hand, looked at Xu Qingqing, and waited for her to speak.

Xu Qingqing smiled, "I can't hide it from the lord, I have something to announce."

Xu Qingqing patted her stomach, and whispered to Zhu Di, "Yes."

Zhu Di frowned, "What did you say?"

"I'm pregnant." Xu Qingqing smiled again, "I've checked my pulse for the past two days, so I'm sure."

Zhu Di put down the soup cup in his hand and stood up abruptly.

Xu Qingqing was looking forward to Zhu Di's reaction. Seeing that he didn't say anything, she wandered around the center of the ground for two times in a panic, thinking it was quite funny.King Yan deserves to be the King of Yan, even the way of expressing joy as a father is different from others.

In the past, Xu Qingqing thought that she would be very sad when she found out that she was pregnant, but now that it happened, she found that it was probably because of her thinking too much before, she accepted it easily, she was quite happy, and she was looking forward to it. Zhu Di's voice.

When Xu Qingqing was distracted, Zhu Di had already turned around and suddenly grabbed Xu Qingqing's hand.

"Qingqing, let's elope, I can't wait."

Xu Qingqing was taken aback for a moment, and met a pair of gentle and pure eyes.
