I asked, "What about revenge? Have you got revenge?"

Song Langsheng's hands were wet, "Maybe... it's a report."

"What is maybe? If you report it, you report it. If you don't report it, you don't report it."

Song Langsheng said: "What exactly is revenge, taking the other party's life or making the other party hurt? But if I take revenge, will I become someone else's enemy again? Right and wrong are always hard to say. To cover it up." He touched my head, "I answered so many questions for the princess tonight, can I choose not to answer them?"

I nodded slightly, but felt that the more I knew about Song Langsheng, the less able I would be able to see through him.

The carriage could go straight to the princess' mansion with one more turn. Song Langsheng asked the driver to stop, surprised when he saw me, he said, "Don't think about the mastermind behind the assassination of me, since the princess wanted to find out the mastermind behind your assassination. And cheating death, you have to perform enough in a play, how can you go back to the mansion from the main gate?"

I looked at him with a wry smile. It turned out that I had been planning privately for a long time, and he could guess Ni Duan without much thought.

He helped me jump out of the carriage and led me all the way. The night was heavy, and he seemed a little uneasy, so he hugged me tightly and walked in the dark.

I warmed my heart, looked at the men's clothes on my body, and said with a smile, "Are you afraid of being seen and suspected of having broken sleeves?"

Song Langsheng gave a perfunctory smile and didn't answer me. I looked up and looked at the side face that was still in high spirits through the moonlight. I was rebellious, but... a little desolate.

What was he thinking about? Is it because you miss that little palace maid?

I sighed.

Actually... I asked him so intensely if he had revenge, I didn't really hope he was still living in hatred... but, if the revenge was avenged, the blood hatred would probably be relieved.

"Hello, Song."

Song Langsheng turned his head, "What?"

"Just that fan...why do you paint the sun, bees and flowers."

Song Langsheng thought for a while, and said, "Because of her name, it fits the occasion."

"Name? What's her name?"

Song Langsheng said in a clear and clear voice: "Picking honey, picking honey, picking honey."

Pick honey.

When the name came into my ears unexpectedly, the originally clear mind fell into a vortex again.

I'm a little unsteady.

Blurred figures and sweet voices slid through my mind.

"Slaves and maids gather honey, learn palace rules and etiquette and then follow Zhong Cui to teach them to do things, and their qualifications are still infancy..."

"The princess's great kindness is unforgettable, and the slaves are willing to serve the princess for a lifetime..."

"Why did the princess make the servants worry so much? She said that when she came back before Hai Shi, she was about to be seen through..."

"From now on, as long as it's a matter of the princess, I will go through fire and water to gather honey."

Chapter 25

"Princess?"

Seeing me in a daze, Song Langsheng shook his hand and held my hand: "What are you thinking?"

I woke up from a dream and looked at him, stunned, trying to tell him that Caimi was not the maid of the prince's brother, but my maid. But then I thought about it, I have been inseparable with the prince and brother since I was a child, and the concubine made a mistake. Do you want to pretend to be dead and flicker the mastermind behind the scenes... That, yes, that painting boat sank, the assassins were all dead, and Nie Ran survived, but there was still one person on the boat at the time, and everyone watched her get on the boat with their own eyes."

Song Langsheng took me to the alley leading to the back door of the mansion, and pondered: "What the princess means is... Nie Ran, it can be said that he is good at water and martial arts, but if Fang Yachen is also saved, princess The illusion of sinking into the river with the boat will also arouse suspicion?"

I pushed open the side door and sighed at him: "But she is recovering well in our mansion now..."

Before I finished speaking, I saw Song Langsheng frowned suddenly. I followed his gaze, but saw a person in the courtyard standing in front of the wind, wearing a robe and disheveled hair, but it wasn't Fang Yachen? Who is it?

But seeing her arms wrapped around the cloth strips oozing blood, I coughed lightly, "It's the middle of the night, why don't you rest well?"

Fang Yachen looked at us blankly and asked, "Where's Han Fei?"

I was startled, looked around and said, "He's gone. Uh, he's fine, you don't have to worry."

I saw that she was staring at me with her eyes fixed and unresponsive. She secretly touched the elbow of the concubine and motioned him to say something. Song Langsheng looked at her with a frown, and asked, "Fang Yachen, what are you doing? become a woman?"

I:"……"

Fang Yachen: "..."

After I took Fang Yachen back to her room and talked about the matter carefully, she got up without saying a word and started to pack up, I sighed: "Are you really going to find him? Ji Weibu..."

"No one can predict what will happen next." Fang Yachen looked at me and said, "Princess, do you remember what you said to me on the boat that day?"

I nodded slightly.

Fang Yachen smiled indifferently, and said with his burden tied: "Then why do you need to say more? Let everyone think that I am buried in a painting boat, and there will be no Fang Yachen from the Fang family in the world. For me, it is a relief."

She neatly put on men's clothes, and before leaving, she bowed her hands to me and Song Langsheng and left, and she was too lazy to spend too much time, so as not to delay Han Fei who couldn't catch up with her.

Song Langsheng has been standing quietly beside me.

I lowered my eyes and said, "I deliberately told her so much, just to lure her to find Han Fei. I have my own selfishness. If I only hope for them to get back together, I don't want Han Fei to be in danger. I can live in peace until the end of my life.”

Song Langsheng snorted.

I said: "I made her let go of her hatred on the basis of the righteousness of the family and the country, and let her and Han Fei accompany her in life and death on the grounds of cherishing the people in front of her. Just a heart attack."

Song Langsheng snorted again.

I turned my head impatiently, "Can you not be so perfunctory when I feel sorry for myself and need comfort?"

Song Langsheng snorted and said, "These are not the princess' fault..."

I waited for him to continue.

"Princess is like this, why should you blame others?"

"..." I knew that he couldn't spit out any logical words.

Song Langsheng said leisurely: "Everything is difficult. The scale in the princess' heart has already been biased. How could she be shaken by her personal feelings?"

I squinted, "The concubine really hits the nail on the head, and I really appreciate your understanding of this princess's heart."

Song Langsheng touched his chin and said seriously, "Actually, I'm more familiar with the princess than in my heart."

I almost choked, I raised my head abruptly, Song Langsheng rubbed my hair with a smile, and turned away, ignoring me shouting behind him: "What is it? Isn't it appropriate? Being familiar with it means that once you are familiar with something, you can do it very quickly... Wait, don't you mean, we used to... Song, are you listening to me?"

In less than a day, the case of the Caoyun fire spread throughout the court and the opposition.

After the Cabinet Council, the Ministry of Punishment was ordered to conduct a thorough investigation and trial, and the Inspectorate impeached. Of course, before the truth surfaced, the prince was angry at the court meeting. It was a guesswork out of thin air, but the one who really heard some wind noises was silent and silent.

On the surface, since it was the Crown Prince who proposed that Han Fei be the supervisor, and the Cao Yun was proposed by Han Fei, now something has happened, and Mr. Han burned the charcoal and the disaster relief food was fried to ashes. Worrying is naturally the prince.

Thinking carefully about Han Fei's plan to take the land route secretly, he must have informed the prince beforehand.

I'm not sure if the younger brother of the prince knows about the assassination of Huafang. Strictly speaking, Nie Ran is the most dangerous person to know. When the boat sank, Wei Qingheng would definitely ask Nie Ranxing for his guilt, and then report the matter to the prince.

So I asked Ah You to give me a simple disguise and went to the Wei residence in person.

Wei Qingheng was very calm when he saw me, which showed that Nie Ran had indeed informed him about my salvation, but he first asked Fang Yachen, it seemed that Nie Ran was doing something about Han and Fang. Still not clear.

After listening to my words, Wei Qingheng tapped on the table with his knuckles in annoyance, and said, "Nie Ran witnessed the whole process on the boat and knows the identity of the princess, no matter what, this matter cannot be concealed. The Nie family is the head of the four major families, and is closely related to the political parties in the DPRK and China. If he leaks this news, wouldn't the princess' plan to cheat and lure the murderer to appear will fail?"

I said, "I thought so too, but there's one thing. Nie Ran doesn't believe that I'm the real princess, and only thinks I'm a substitute for the princess. You think, if he really has any plans, he can debunk my identity as a 'fake princess'. , or make a fuss about it, why would you send a killer to kill me? So the real murderer behind the scenes must not be Nie Dang or their accomplice. If someone wants to assassinate the Princess of Jianguo, they must keep their mouths shut, and let the princess and the crown prince deal with those people, watching the fire from the bank and reap the benefits of the fisherman, how can there be any rumors?"

Wei Qingheng hummed in agreement, "Princess's words are reasonable."

I said, "So I don't think you need to worry about Nie Ran."

"Don't worry?" Wei Qingheng looked up at me, "I'm afraid the princess really said something. Since Nie Ran believes that the princess is fake and doesn't expose it, she will definitely make a big fuss."

I groaned in my heart.

What Nie Ran said to me last night replayed in my mind: "In short, if you don't think your life is too long, you can't go back and be that princess' stand-in."

Yes, why does he think that I am worried about my life as the princess' substitute? Looking back now, that determined tone didn't seem to be worried about my unknown future, but more like...knowing something, that's why I persuaded me to leave Beijing several times to protect me.

Seeing that I was lost in thought, Wei Qingheng comforted: "It's not the right time for them, the princess just needs to be prepared. You are the real golden branches and jade leaves. This is enough to make all conspiracies fail."

I reluctantly smiled and said, "How do you tell the prince about the painting of the boat?"

"Does the princess wish to hide your safety from the prince?"

"Um."

"Then if I don't know that the princess pretended to be a student of the Imperial College and got in on the boat, I'll tell you the rest. As for Nie Ran, I will tell him that this is what the princess meant. If the princess' analysis is correct, he won't expose the truth. If he has his own Selfishness, just wait and see what happens.”

I put my rather moved eyes on Wei Qingheng. His eyes were peaceful and serene. Ahem, it was An Ran. He didn't look like someone who was caught in a turmoil of power. However, this time he agreed to cooperate with me. What was the result in his mind? should know better than anyone.

Princess Jianguo and Dr. Guozijian died on the boat he proposed to cruise. How will he face the prince's anger and the impeachment of Baiguan?

Before the truth is revealed, let alone whether he can keep his official position as a sacrificial wine in the Imperial College, it would be a blessing if he could manage to save his life.
