i am afraid

Jiang Xuanying said: "Your Highness, don't you feel that you are going too far? To attribute other people's crimes to a child in Chengyuan, what did he do wrong?"

Jiang Che didn't speak, and looked at him coldly. He had already discovered that this person was secretly changing his concept. Naturally, she will think that he is no different from Changxuan. At that time, he had already started to take revenge, but after all, he couldn't get rid of Chengyuan, and gradually lost his mind to go back. It was not until recently that he unexpectedly learned that Chengyuan It's really his own son, not to mention, why did he attribute those crimes to Cheng Yuan?

Seeing Jiang Che's expression, Jiang Xuanying blinked, knowing that he had failed in secretly changing the concept, but he was not at all embarrassed by being exposed, and instead smiled: "Your Highness has a heart for Cheng Yuan, and Cheng Yuan has a heart for His Highness. Even deeper, the junior can still listen to His Highness's explanation, His Highness thinks Cheng Yuan will listen?"

Jiang Che's eyes became sharp all of a sudden, "I said, I won't see Cheng Yuan again."

"Your Highness keeps saying that. How long has it been since you saw Cheng Yuan? How is he born, what is his temper, and what kind of grievances have he suffered? Your Highness doesn't care?"

Jiang Che lowered his eyes. Of course he knew this. Since childhood, Cheng Yuan looked seven points like him and three points like his mother. He has all the good points. He is very handsome and has a good temper. There is no one like him in the entire Jiang family. Such a gentle child, as for the grievances he has suffered all these years... Will he tell Jiang Xuanying that he is already liquidating it?

"Stop wasting your words, the decision I made has never been changed." Jiang Che said softly.

Jiang Xuanying blinked suddenly, and said, "Your Highness, would you like to hear what this junior has to say?"

Jiang Che raised his eyebrows. He didn't know what kind of tricks this shrewd young man was trying to pull off, but he would never give up his decision just because of a few words. He picked up the tea in hand, took a sip, and acquiesced.

"Your Highness, do you remember how many children the Pei family adopted?" Jiang Xuanying didn't rush to explain, but asked a question first, with a strange smile.

Jiang Che glanced at him. The Pei family is well-known for adopting orphans who died in battle. Counting the Pei family, there must be five or six in the mansion. He did remember an adopted son who was a good fighter, but he fought at a young age. He died on the battlefield, and it was also because he went to mourn him that he gradually became acquainted with the Pei family and knew the Pei family.

Jiang Xuanying said: "The Marquis of Zhen Guo adopted a total of six children back then, of which five were boys and one girl, Pei was the eldest, and there was also a concubine in the house who was a little lower in seniority but about the same age."

Hearing the word concubine, Jiang Che frowned instinctively. The prejudice from his blood was deeply rooted, and even he could hardly escape this frame.

Speaking of which, the Pei family is indeed a good old man. On the battlefield, it is very normal to meet colleagues who died in battle. Generally, kind-hearted generals will give some money to support them, but the Pei family directly takes the whole family back to support them. , will also find a good way out for these orphans. They have to adopt many children in almost every generation, and they will go to the battlefield with the Pei family. They really have no worries at all.

In fact, there are not many entrances to Xungui's house. Pei's mansion can be regarded as lively. Many adopted children are sent here after they are sensible. Knowing how to be grateful makes them more sensible. Looking at their words and deeds, Jiang Che unconsciously thought that The same is true for Mrs. Pei, but Ms. Pei was raised by Mrs. Pei as a eldest lady since she was born. She was born very similar to the Pei family, so she is loved even more. How can her temperament be as gentle and virtuous as she appears on the surface? ?

Jiang Che felt something was wrong when he heard Jiang Xuanying's words, he raised his eyebrows: "What do you really know? What do you want to say?"

When he spoke, he unconsciously put on a bit of coercion. Jiang Xuanying was shocked, and spit out a mouthful of blood. He wiped the corner of his mouth with his sleeve, because his face was stained with bright red blood. It's becoming more and more evil and confusing, and it's almost impossible to look directly at it.

Jiang Xuanying smiled, as if she didn't care about this little injury at all, and continued to play tricks: "Your Highness, do you remember how you and Mrs. Pei met? What about her temper at that time?"

Jiang Che naturally remembered that he and Mrs. Pei first met in the back garden of Pei's mansion. At that time, she was dressed in men's clothing, as if she wanted to sneak out to play, smiling and hooking shoulders with a few brothers who were also adopted, except for her slightly soft face. , she didn't look like a woman at all, he took a look and looked away, thinking that although this woman was frivolous, her smile was very touching.

Later, when he met her in men's clothing, he pretended not to know, and actually teased her for a long time before laying down Shili Fengyi and going to Pei's mansion to propose marriage.

Pei's personality is very much like a mother's. He was only moved by her smile that day, but slowly, he was also attracted by her gentle personality, and gradually began to want to live a good life with her. Unexpectedly, he waited. It is betrayal.

"Your Highness, apart from the younger generation of the Jiang family, there is also a cousin who traveled abroad. He told me something. After listening to your Highness...cough, please don't hurt me again." Jiang Xuanying's face was pale, but he insisted Holding on to laugh.

"Chen's cousin is a playful person. He knows a little about everything, but he is not very good at everything, but he has one thing, which can be called wonderful."

"He is the most proficient in making human skin masks in the clan. Before him, those masks were only used to cover the face. He created an original mask that can reveal the changes in the skin. It is light and breathable. 100 taels of gold for one piece."

Lightly promoting Jiang's human skin mask, Jiang Xuanying looked at Jiang Che's narrowed eyes for a moment, and smiled slightly: "My cousin has always been unprofitable, and the only time in this life he has done a business without money. , for a woman."

"He found it strange that a woman who was born so beautiful must have an indistinguishable mask, and he spared no expense to make more than a dozen gradually changing masks, each of which changed her original face a bit. Little by little, in the end, become a completely different person."

"Ah, of course, one or two is okay, and then she can't afford it. My cousin has never tried such a thing, and he got the inspiration to start a free business."

Jiang Che clenched the teacup in his hand, and before he knew it, several cracks appeared in the teacup.

"Your Highness will ask, people who are close to you will recognize it, why didn't the Pei family say it? Why did she let her make herself into another person? With that person still surnamed Pei?" Jiang Xuanying's mouth curled up, There was a soul-stirring allurement on his face.

"Your Highness, you have determined that Pei Qing is a woman, and it is a crime of deceiving the emperor. Take a step back, marry the royal family, and marry a crown princess. Who will not do it for the future queen?"

Jiang Che's expression was too cold to read.

"What's more, Mrs. Pei is Zhen Guohou's beloved younger sister, so what is Pei Qing? My younger brother's concubine is disgusting when he sees it, and he seduces His Highness as a man, heh."

What Jiang Xuanying said was true, and many people in the Jiang family knew it, but they didn't take it seriously. Cultivators don't shy away from men and women, and it's good to be able to accompany them to the end. The lineage needs to be inherited, and marrying a woman is naturally better than marrying a man, and men can't have children, so many people think that the Pei family is doing the right thing.

"What on earth do you want to say?" Jiang Che shattered the teacup in his hand, and stared at Jiang Xuanying intently, sparks almost bursting out of his eyes.

Stared at by such gazes, Jiang Xuanying felt that his throat would be torn apart in the next moment, he swallowed dryly, and said, "Princess Changxuan was not born to you and Pei, nor was Cheng Yuan, He...was born to Mr. Pei."

"Do you think that if you come to me and say a few ridiculous words, I will believe you?" Jiang Che calmed down, with a bit of coldness in his brows and eyes. The pressure around him was getting heavier and heavier. Jiang Xuanying felt that his The internal organs are about to be crushed.

Jiang Xuanying held back, and he even smiled: "Your Highness, you... do you remember? Mr. Pei Qing has a sensitive and fragile temperament. Except for those close to him, how has he ever been as dignified and generous as the Crown Princess?"

Pei Qing is the concubine son of Zhen Guohou's biological younger brother, and he can be regarded as a serious son in Zhen Guohou's mansion, but he is very unpopular in the mansion. The adopted sons and daughters are all more reckless than him, and after a long time, he has developed a two-faced man. Personality, facing strangers with indifference, and familiar people with gentleness, this kind of personality is actually very petty, just like the original Jiang Yan, he never took the initiative to talk to anyone, let alone dared to show his heart and soul Jiang Che spent a long time thinking about what he paid for before he left a place in his heart.

Jiang Che paused, and the coercion on his body eased a little. He remembered that when he first met, the girl in men's clothing he thought was very reserved when facing him. No matter who he took him to meet, he always bowed his head. The appearance of not speaking, the later Pei family... is gentle and generous, showing the demeanor of a princess in handling people and things. He thought it was because a woman's personality would change after she got married. So, did she turn out to be a different person?

He narrowed his eyes: "What you said just now, Cheng Yuan is Pei... What's going on?"

These words sounded absurd, but his heart skipped a beat. He did see Pei in men's clothing outside the palace. I haven't seen her in men's clothing for a long time, she looks more and more beautiful, she spent a ridiculous night in the car, and only heard the guards the next day that the princess was taken back to the palace by the Pei family, and it was just right when Cheng Yuan was born.

Jiang Xuanying was able to breathe a sigh of relief because of the reduction of coercion. Hearing Jiang Che's question, he knew that he already believed it a little.

Jiang Xuanying suspected Princess Changxuan's death from the very beginning. According to common sense, with the purest blood of the Jiang family, she shouldn't die so easily. Generally speaking, the more excellent the blood, as long as it is born smoothly, luck It's not bad, he suspects that someone is behind it, but Princess Changxuan has nothing to do with him, so he hasn't checked it all the time. Later, when he saw that Jiang Yan was so sad, he paid attention to it and prepared to take the matter After checking the truth, he took away one of Jiang Yan's hair, and used the technique of bloodline traction on the body of Princess Changxuan, trying to call her soul for questioning, but in the end, there was no result.

Jiang Yan and Princess Changxuan are not related by blood.
