Princess, how am I from you?

At the end of the drinking session, except for Yuzhang and Guan Xin, the other three seemed to be on the verge of passing out.Guan Xin was slightly drunk, stood up a little shaky, and beckoned to the maid who was waiting to clean up the mess.

"Jinxiu, help your princess to rest first. Yujiao, help Princess Dianwu, and help Sister Cuiping to send the princess to rest."

"That's right, Yujiao, you go and see her off, I'm optimistic about you." Changyi swayed while supported by Jinxiu, patted Cheng Yujiao's shoulder vigorously, and then let Jinxiu help her away.

"Ah? Oh." Cheng Yujiao stood up unsteadily, and her body swayed a little before she barely stopped.

Chang Le squinted at Guan Xin, but did not refuse, letting Cuiping and Cheng Yujiao support her one by one.Guan Xin could see that Chang Le was not very drunk, at least he still retained a trace of reason. With the effect of alcohol, he should be able to say something boldly.

"Why do you ask Yujiao to send it off, they..."

"Let's go, I'll take you back, and then go to see them again, don't worry, your sister is not really drunk, I just want them to speak clearly, otherwise Yujiao will always have knots in her heart If you don’t open it, you have to tie the bell to untie it.”

"I don't want you to send it, you go and look at it, I don't worry, in case Yujiao... Sister is not her opponent, don't mess around anymore, I know, otherwise Sister will be picked up tomorrow when she wakes up Your skin." Yuzhang was worried that Cheng Yujiao would use the alcohol to make her stronger, and Guan Xin hugged and squeezed her just because he was drunk.

"Okay, okay, I'll go right away." Being pushed by Yuzhang, she couldn't agree immediately, so she had to call Nuan Xin, who was in charge of cleaning up the mess, to accompany her back, and she went all the way to the courtyard where Changle temporarily lived.Cuiping was standing in the yard, which meant that Cheng Yujiao hadn't left yet, and the two of them didn't know what they were doing in the house.Cuiping wanted to stop her, but Guan Xin pointed her finger at her, hissed, and tiptoed towards the window.

The two people in the room didn't know that such a cheeky Guan Xin would come to listen to the corner, Chang Le sat casually by the bed with a smile, and Cheng Yujiao stood in the middle of the ground and pulled her sleeves nervously and awkwardly. The caring big sister is waiting for the naughty kid to take the initiative to admit his mistake.

There was no sound in the room, and Guan Xin didn't hear anything after listening for a while, her legs were numb from squatting, did these two go straight to the point?Or are you all asleep?Shaking her head to Cuiping who was waving at her in the yard to tell her to get up quickly, she spread her hands.Just as she was about to get up and was about to knock on the door, there was finally voices in the room.

"Are you going to stand until dawn? If you have anything to say, let's say it today, otherwise you don't look like a general's daughter." Seeing that Cheng Yujiao was getting more and more nervous, Chang Le had no choice but to say something. Speak first, she is really sleepy, drunk, and if this continues, she is afraid that she will lose control, curiosity makes her want to do something to the person in front of her, but the only remaining reason is telling her, The person in my heart is not Cheng Yujiao, she can't hurt a simple child like this, and she is Princess Changle, her status doesn't allow her to do this either.

"I, you, you all know?" Cheng Yujiao tugged at her sleeves and lowered her head, not daring to look at Changle's face at all.

Chang Le chuckled, "Little fool, you've been watching me all night. If I don't know, I'm going to be as stupid as you. If you really have nothing to say, please go back. I'm going to sleep. Those two, Chang Yi and Guan Xin, will settle accounts with them tomorrow, and it will not be so easy to get me drunk."

"Don't, don't blame them, they are also here to help me, I know. Me, the princess..." Cheng Yujiao's face was already pink from drinking, and her neck and ears were even red from being nervous.

Guan Xin was anxious while listening outside, gritted her teeth and clenched her fists, wishing she could rush in and help her say what she said later, she usually felt very bold, why was she so cowardly at this time.

Seeing that Cheng Yujiao's whole head seemed to be congested with blood, Changle stood up with a shaky body, came to Cheng Yujiao, and rescued her clenched sleeves from her hands, and wrapped her arms around Yujiao's drooping body. Putting her little head on her shoulders, she gently hugged Cheng Yujiao's already tense body. "Yujiao, I understand what you mean, but I'm sorry, I can't accept your kindness, I am not Changyi, and you are not Guan Xin, we are not just us, there are many people behind us, so we can't be so willful, you In the future, it will be my younger sister. When you get married in the future, if that person dares to bully you, you can tell sister, and I will teach him a lesson for you. He can't beat you with your martial arts skills. Be obedient, don't think about it in the future, I still like to see you smile, see you wanton and unrestrained, such a tense and twitching look is not suitable for the daughter of our General Cheng."

"Well, I'm sorry to trouble you." Cheng Yujiao's voice choked, but she didn't withdraw from Changle's embrace. Perhaps this was the only chance she had to hug Changle. She raised her hands and hugged Changle tightly. Waist, face buried in Chang Le's neck, let the tears fall.

Chang Le also had red eyes, enduring the soreness in her heart, saying such words, she didn't know if Yu Jiao would be able to get along with her calmly in the future, if she lost Cheng Yu Jiao as a friend, she would have regrets and reluctance, after all, getting along with these In the past few years, I have already gotten used to this friendship. Thinking of the shadow in my heart, I feel even more uncomfortable. In this life, it will only be a shadow.

Cheng Yujiao hugged very hard, and Changle's waist felt the almost desperate strength, the warm moisture on the neck, and the trembling shoulders, Yujiao was crying, crying silently, which was more distressing than crying loudly.Gently patted Cheng Yujiao's slender and strong back, once and for all, as if coaxing a wronged child.The tears hanging in the eye sockets finally broke away from the shackles of the eye sockets and slid down the face.

Guan Xin let out a sigh of relief, stood up and knocked on the door. "Yujiao, are you in there? Don't drink too much and sleep here and take Sister Cuiping's place, I'm here to pick you up."

Cuiping also hurriedly stood at the door, rolling her eyes helplessly.Guan Xin suppressed his voice, "I'm afraid something will happen to them, don't tell the princess what I did just now."

The door opened, Cheng Yujiao came out with her head down, passed the two of them and went straight out.Guan Xin gave Cuiping a wink, and quickly chased him out.Cuiping hurried into the room to check on the situation of the master. Changle was lying on the bed neatly dressed, with his arms covering his eyes, and he didn't know if he was asleep or not.He called out tentatively. "Princess?"

Chang Le still maintained that posture, "Go to sleep, I'm fine, let me slow down for a while."

"Yes" Cuiping obediently exited the bedroom.The princess must have cried just now, otherwise the voice shouldn't be like that, and thinking about the appearance of Guan Xin and Cheng Yujiao, and the situation where the princess asked her to go to shopkeeper Qiu to inquire, it seemed that she knew something important.Hurry up and throw these guesses out of your mind, the master shouldn't guess casually, take off your coat and turn over and lie down, if the master tells you to sleep, go to sleep quickly, whether it can sleep or not, at least it looks like it is asleep.

Cheng Yujiao walked forward with her head down as soon as she left the house. Guan Xin trotted for a while before keeping up with Cheng Yujiao's speed, "Are you ready?"

Cheng Yujiao wiped her face, finally slowed down, and nodded silently.Guan Xin stood side by side with Cheng Yujiao, reached out and patted her shoulder, "Speak up, you should feel at ease, don't be sullen in the future, at least you have fought for it, as for emotional matters, you need to be happy with each other Beautiful story, let’s start again. Zhang Chengli I heard from Changyi is a good person. You try to understand it. In fact, to be honest, I don’t want you to really go on this road, it’s too difficult. Don't look at me looking good now, maybe one day I will be dragged to be beheaded by the emperor. I really regret it now, I regret that I should stop Changyi when she was about to mess around in the first place, but I didn't just Didn't stop her, and messed around with her."

Cheng Yujiao stopped in her tracks, her tears were still dry, her eyes were red and swollen, and she gave a smile that was not better than crying, "I didn't blame you, but I want to thank you for letting me realize that liking someone is true." What kind of feeling. This is my own problem. Baozhu also saw you and Changyi like me, but she was not affected in the slightest. I was curious. Maybe I was born with it, but I have never I just know, it was you who made me wake up. Now the dream should wake up, and I have no regrets. As you said, I fought for it, and she was right, I am different from you, we are not just We have our own family behind us, I can't just think about myself and disregard my parents and relatives."

"You're right to think so. I'm alone and have no worries, but you're different. Cheer up, young man, you're still young. You still have a lot of time to squander and have fun in the future."

"Heh, it sounds like you're very old."

"Okay, I finally laughed, let's go, wash your face quickly, get some sleep, tomorrow will be another sunny day." Guan Xin smiled and pinched Cheng Yujiao's pretty face, this girl is young, her face is tender, and she feels tender It's really good.Compared with them, I am really old.

Early the next morning, the servants reported that Cheng Yujiao had left early in the morning. Changle heard that Cheng Yujiao stopped drinking honey water for a moment, and then pretended to be nonchalant.

Guan Xin curled her lips, obviously caring, alas, it's hard enough.Only the three of them and one child were eating breakfast, and that guy Changyi hadn't woken up yet, so this wasn't her time to wake up.

"The festival is over, and the competition is over. I'll send Yan'er over tomorrow." Chang Le put down his chopsticks, wiped his mouth, and lost his appetite.

Yuzhang saw that Changle barely moved his chopsticks, and felt a little distressed. Guan Xin told her what he had overheard last night, and knew that Sister was not completely heartless, but just had too many scruples.I feel sorry for Sister, but also hate myself for not being able to help.

"Why don't you come and stay together for a few days, and we sisters can have a good chat together."

Chang Le shook his head, "No need, let's pass some days, there are some things to deal with in the mansion, and it is approaching the mother's death day, this year, I will not take you to Luoyang, you can stay in Chang'an with peace of mind, she is not suitable now It’s safer to go out of the city.”

Yuzhang understands sister's worries, but she is also not at ease about Changle going to Luoyang alone.Especially in this mood.

"Go, why don't you go? I just want to open a branch of the restaurant. If possible, the teahouse will also open." Guan Xin has been waiting for this day for a long time.

"Don't go anywhere now, just stay in Chang'an peacefully. Even in Chang'an City, you must take someone with you when you go out, and don't go to those remote alleys." Changle is not scaremongering, less than a year During this time, Guan Xin was assassinated twice. Although she was unsuccessful, it was her fate, but it is easy to dodge an open spear, but difficult to defend against a hidden arrow. Who can guarantee that she will be so lucky every time without injury.

"Princess."

Nuan Yi leaned close to Yu Zhang's ear and whispered a few words.After finishing speaking, he lowered his head and stood aside.so mysterious?Guan Xin's gaze landed on Nuan Yi and Yu Zhang, scanning back and forth, what do these two need to say?

"Sister, didn't you say you were going to live in Zhuangzi for a few days to relax? In my opinion, it's better to live for a few days before Yan'er and Ri'er start class. It’s boring, it’s good to go out for a walk.”

Chang Le frowned, when did she say it, but she was only puzzled for a moment, so she nodded along Yu Zhang's words, "Alright, I'm really not in a good mood recently, go and look around, you look at the arrangement, I Go back to Fuchu today to make arrangements, and let me know when you leave."

"Nuanyi, you take a few suitable people over there to clean it up first, sister and I are afraid of mess, so we must clean it up, bring Chunyu and Dongxue with you, and then ask Captain Wang for it. A few people go together to protect your safety along the way. We will set off early in the morning."

"Yes, Nuan Yi will go now." Nuan Yi stooped to leave.

Guan Xin looked at it in a cloud of mist, okay, what are you going to live outside?Didn't she not be allowed to leave the city?What is Zhuangzi?Farmhouse?One pot out?In other words, I haven't eaten a pot for a long time.It's time to roll it out.

At night, when he was sleeping, Yuzhang revealed the answer to the mystery. "Do you know why you want to go out?" Yuzhang lowered his voice, almost sticking to Guan Xin's ear.

Guan Xin shrank her neck from the stimulation, it was so itchy, she thought Yuzhang was joking with her, so she leaned over and pressed Yuzhang's ear and said, "Why?"

"Because of winter snow."

winter snow?What's wrong with her?

"Nuanyi said that Dongxue was sneaking under the window yesterday. She didn't know what she was listening to, and she didn't know when she started doing this. If Nuanyi couldn't sleep suddenly last night, she wouldn't have found out."

Guan Xin suddenly understood that Yuzhang wanted to take him away for interrogation, and in order not to startle the snake, he said he would go to Zhuangzi to relax. High, really high.She didn't see any flaws, she really thought she was going out for an outing.

When seeing Dong Xue again, Guan Xin almost didn't recognize her.In a small, remote room with insufficient light, a person with his hands tied was hanging from the beams in the room.With disheveled hair and bloody welts all over her body, she looked like a woman.Guan Xin took a deep breath, this was the first time she had seen a real torture scene, the real one was more shocking and bloody than what was shown on TV, especially the strong smell of blood could be smelled in the air, It was even more irritating, her scalp was numb, and she felt faintly nauseous.Resisting the nausea, she walked up to that person and lifted her long hair that covered her face. Unlike her rosy cheeks before, Dongxue's face was now pale and blue, and her white lips were bitten by herself. , the blood that has not yet dried is the only bright spot on her face, the red is a bit dazzling.

The person who had kept his eyes closed all this time heard the movement, opened his eyes slowly, saw Guan Xin, and slowly pulled out a mocking smile from the corner of his mouth.There was weakness and disdain in the voice, "Do you dare to do it but dare not be it? You will only use us servants to show off."

Guan Xin turned her head to look at Nuan Yi behind her, and Nuan Yi stepped forward knowingly. "I've been refusing to say anything."

"Heh, I've said it all. No one is in charge of me. It's just that I'm curious. I didn't expect that the pure and pure Sixth Princess would also do that fake Phoenix."

Guan Xin frowned slightly, "I'll talk to her alone, you guys go out first."

After everyone went out, Guan Xin came in front of Dongxue. Although there was no expression on her face, she gently lifted Dongxue's slender chin, took out the handkerchief in her arms, and gently wiped her mouth The bloodstains, this handkerchief has just been put on the body not long ago, and I haven't used it yet.It's a pity that Dongxue didn't appreciate and cooperate. Guan Xin's action was a demonstration to her, and she deliberately humiliated her.Guan Xin ignored Dong Xue's evasion, continued with the movements in his hands persistently, and said in the same familiar tone as when he was with her, "I respect you for being a man. Loosen your teeth. Are you stupid? Call out when it hurts." Ah, why let your mouth suffer, I'll take it easy, you bear with it." Guan Xin leaned forward and blew softly as if she was afraid of her pain.

The distance between the two of them was very close, and Guan Xin even blew a few breaths. Dongxue retreated uncomfortably. Seeing that Guan Xin wanted to wipe her, she dodged subconsciously. There was no more taunting, her eyes were full of surprise. , "Aren't you angry?" Is this person stupid? Instead of being angry at her betrayal, why can she hear a bit of hatred from her tone? Is it an illusion?

Guan Xin saw that Dongxue had been dodging all the time, and she was almost wiped, so she simply put away the handkerchief.He took a small step back, and said with a smile, "Angry, why am I not angry? I think that in the past, I was not mean to you, and His Highness treated you with kindness and grace, but you repay us like this. If it were you, wouldn't you be angry or chilled?"

"Then why are you?" Dongxue didn't understand, this is not the way to be angry.

"Being so gentle to you?" Guan Xin smiled and stepped forward again. Regardless of Dong Xue's dodge, she stubbornly helped her smooth her hair, and then simply tied her hair into a bun and tied it with a headband. "Girls should be delicate by nature, so many times, I treat girls with more patience and tolerance. Although you betrayed the princess, you are sorry for me, but I don't hate you very much, just I didn't expect them to use such a fierce way to ask questions. As for the master behind you, I won't ask any more questions. I can guess who it is. It's just those few people who are around. I just want to know if you have seen you It is said that although I have not been in the mansion for a long time, it is not too short, since I used to treat you like a younger sister, can you tell me the truth?"

Dongxue's mood fluctuated obviously, especially when she saw Guan Xin's gentle and generous appearance, she also thought of all the things that happened when they played together in the past. Delicious and fun never left them behind, and just a few days ago I gave her 200 taels of silver.But it was on that day that she went home to give the money. . .The eye circles were slightly red, and she subconsciously bit her lips again. Isn't what a maid looks forward to most is a generous master and generous treatment.

Guan Xin's fingers gently covered Dong Xue's lips, "Bite again, doesn't it hurt, be good, let go."

A tear slid down Dongxue's cheek. "I'm sorry, Sister Xinxin, I'm sorry for you, and I'm sorry for Your Highness, but I can't help it, sister, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, I don't want to do this, but I have to, please kill me, don't do it again I’m tormenting me, I can’t stand it anymore, but I can’t say it, I’m not the only one who will die, sister, please kill me. In this life, I’m sorry for the princess, I’m sorry for my sister, if there is an afterlife, I will die I am willing to be an ox or a horse, and then repay the princess and sister."

"It's already spread, hasn't it?"

"Yes, I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Dongxue had already collapsed to the point of crying, apologizing while crying. She was about to collapse after the two days of torture. She would never be able to bear Guan Xin's gentle treatment. live.

"Then how long have you been helping that person, and how many times have you spread such information?"

"It didn't take long, it was just that the person found me a few days ago, and... I really didn't want to harm the princess and sister, but there was nothing I could do, so I passed it on this time, sister, it's really only this time, although , although I have already guessed the matter between my sister and the princess, but as a slave, I should not interfere with the affairs of the masters, but now, I have no choice, so I went to the corner to confirm, sister please Kill me, I can't talk anymore, don't torture me anymore, I really can't stand it anymore. Please."

"Thank you for telling me the truth." Guan Xin picked up the veil again, wiped away the tears on Dongxue's face, and then stuffed the veil directly into Dongxue's lapel, "It's a bit dirty here, this veil You should keep it to wipe your face. Girls should be clean to look good. You may have to stay here for a while before you settle the matter. No one will torture you again. I will go out and call They put you down, don't worry, His Highness is gentle and kind, and won't kill you, be obedient, don't cry, I don't blame you."

Guan Xin straightened Dong Xue's skirt again before turning around and going out. The moment she went out, the smile on her mouth disappeared completely, and the tenderness just now disappeared from her eyes. She lowered her voice and said to the warmth waiting at the door, "Take her Let it go, there is no need to torture her anymore, deal with her wounds, change her clothes, be careful not to be seen by others, the rest will be decided when I return to the princess."

"Yes."
