Shen Qi'an drank a cup of tea, he was obviously shocked by the news: "I can still lie to you, the prince was indeed poisoned a few days ago, and the poison was put in the tea by the maid. At the beginning, the maid who poisoned himSupervised and tortured, the servant girl said that it was the Jiangxi County King who ordered her."

"Since he is the Prince of Jiangxi County, what's the matter with Prince Guan Ping's son?" Jiayu said.

"Of course it was the court lady who planted the blame. The Secretary of the Ministry of Justice and the Dali Temple investigated together and found that the court lady had a fellow villager who worked as a servant in Prince Ping's mansion. A few months ago, the fellow villager suddenly received a large bounty.When the court lady heard that her fellow countryman had died, she immediately changed her words and said that Prince Ping ordered her." Shen Qi'an said breathlessly, "Now he is investigating Prince Ping."

Jiayu struggled and said, "Perhaps Prince Ping was also framed by the maid."

She grew up with Prince Ping and Prince Ping, even though Prince Ping felt sorry for her, but he was not someone who could do such a cruel thing to his younger brother.

Furthermore, if the crown prince knew that it was his own elder brother who poisoned him, what would he do?The prince values friendship, even if the relationship with Prince Heping is not good, he is his only real brother after all.

And that time when she went to visit him secretly, the prince inadvertently revealed that he still remembered them. If Prince Ping's son had really been poisoned, Jiayu pressed his forehead, not daring to think about it.

Shen Qian is also a cousin of Prince Heping, big and small, but since Jiayu reconciled with Prince Heping, he has a big regret in his heart, but because Princess Ping is really kind to the Shen family, he gets along with Prince Heping vaguely, but his friendship is far away.Not as deep as it was back then.After all, the old Marquis of Weiyuan relied on his ancestral shadow to inherit the title, but made no contribution to government affairs and military affairs. After his death, His Majesty originally planned to let Shen Qi'an descend to the Marquis as the successor.It was Princess Ping who persuaded King Ping to intercede in front of His Majesty to keep the Marquis.

It's just that now it's hard to find out this kind of news, and it's inevitable to sigh and sigh a few times.

"Jiayu, now that the prince's health is getting better, you don't have to worry about him anymore, just worry about your own affairs."

Jiayu was immersed in the poisoning of Prince Ping's son, and asked casually after hearing the words: "What's the matter with me?"

"Your marriage." Shen Qi'an stared at her, "You are nineteen now, and you will be twenty soon. It's time to get married and have children. Li Heyang can't, we still have Zhang Heyang and Sun Heyang."

Marriage is an old-fashioned topic, and Jiayu's mind is full of matters between Prince Ping and the crown prince, and she doesn't bother to break up with Shen Qi'an, so she said: "I know, but now that the prince's poisoning is causing a lot of trouble in the city, even if I want to sayMarriage, wait until this matter is over."

Shen Qi'an originally wanted to hear Jiayu's stance, and seeing that she did not reject her, he nodded: "When this matter is over, you can no longer shirk."

Jiayu agreed twice.

The summer azaleas in the corner are in full bloom, and the big flowers are close together, and the breeze blows, swaying towards the same place.

Jiayu sat on the imperial concubine's couch in front of the window, sighed, and looked out the window.

What Shen Qi'an said, Jiayu believed that he knew it, but he didn't believe it was true.

Until a few days later, rumors about Prince Ping's poisoning spread widely. Jiayu couldn't resist going to the teahouse to inquire about the news, but he heard people say that Prince Ping's son was very smart, intelligent, diligent, and talented. Back then, His Majesty chose his heirAt that time, he chose the second younger brother who had no literary talent and knowledge. He was jealous in his heart, and he was tempted by the position of prince, so he became poisonous for a while.

Jiayu didn't hear the news she wanted to know, so Jiayu had to go back home.

As soon as she entered the side door, the nuns in her yard hurried up to greet her: "Girl, Princess Ping is here. I just talked with Madam for a while, and now I am waiting to see you."

What?

Auntie is here.

Concubine Ping lives deep in the palace, she doesn't come out often, her health has not been good for the past two years, and she hasn't left the palace for a long time, why did she come to Shen's house today.

As soon as she entered the hall, Princess Ping stepped forward and hurriedly held Jiayu's hand, and told the waiters around: "Go down."

Hearing the words, the servants in Prince Ping's mansion went down with their heads down, Qingzhu glanced at Jiayu, saw Jiayu nodding to her, and then left.

"Jiayu, my cousin is looking for you today because I want something." Princess Ping squeezed Jiayu's palm, and suddenly said directly, "For the sake of how good my cousin was to you in the past, you will help my cousin.Right, Jiayu."

With a thought in mind, Jiayu supported Princess Ping to sit firmly on the sour branch pear wood armchair, and said softly, "Biao Auntie, Jiayu is obliged to help if she can."

"Of course you can." Princess Ping looked at Jiayu pleadingly, "Hengming did that kind of thing behind you and Xiuxiu's back, it's because my cousin didn't teach him well, but Jiayu, besides that, Hengming alsoI love you very much. Do you still remember that when you were six years old, you fell into a pond and almost drowned. It was Heng Ming who jumped into the pond to save you. Then because of this incident, he had a high fever for three days and three nights, and almost died.It's gone."

Jiayu sat down next to Princess Ping: "Biao Aunt, I remember everything."

When Princess Ping heard this, her emotions suddenly became anxious: "Auntie Biao knows that he is sorry for you, but Jiayu, he has been making up for you, and when you reconciled, he took all the faults on himself and tried his best to protect your reputation.", He will never say anything about what you want, Jiayu, it is true that Hengming made a big mistake in your marriage, but think about it carefully, Jiayu, you are not right in everything, are you?"

Their marriage is indeed not only the problem of Prince Ping, he said that treating her as a younger sister is not a wife, and she did not regard him as a husband, nor did she ever try to understand her, she only thought that it would be good to be a younger sister.

Later, when the incident between Zuo Hengming and Xue Xiuxiu happened, if Zuo Hengming had the heart, he could have taken Xue Xiuxiu as a concubine. It was normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines, and no one would blame Prince Ping.Only under the guidance of the prince for half a year, she understood how stupid the decision to agree to marry without even thinking about it was, and she didn't want to come between Prince Ping's son and Xue Xiuxiu and propose a divorce.

She was firm, Prince Ping thought that Xiuxiu didn't want to delay her, so he agreed, and although Princess Ping thought it was too childish for them to get along with Li, they insisted, and they did what they wanted.

It is true that in that marriage, the role of her wife was also a failure.

"Aunt Biao, what do you mean by saying this today..."

Princess Ping cried: "I just came back from the East Palace, the prince is already in good health."

Jiayu's face was filled with joy, but seeing Princess Shangping's expression, she slightly mentioned in her heart that last time she begged Princess Ping to go to see the prince, Princess Ping couldn't avoid it.

Just as she was thinking about it, Princess Ping's face changed slightly: "He and Heng Ming are brothers who crawled out of my belly, you know that Heng Ming is not the kind of person with a vicious heart, how could he poison him,Jiayu, you and Qing An have always had a close relationship, go tell him and let him go."

"Don't worry, Auntie, if the big cousin never did such a thing, the Ministry of Criminal Justice and Dali Temple will definitely give him his innocence." Jiayu comforted him.

Princess Ping heard the words, but she almost cried: "But the prison is eerie, your eldest cousin is pampered, if there is any problem, you can tell me what to do, Jiayu won't listen to me, but you say,He can always listen to a few words, please help your big cousin."

Jiayu sighed, she understood Princess Ping's mood very well at this time, but at the same time, a soreness spread in her heart, the prince was seriously ill and his life was hanging by a thread, but Princess Ping was unwilling to see him, it was very sad to see him.Possibly the last side.Now that Prince Ping's son has just been imprisoned, Princess Ping has started to run around for him.

Moreover, the prince should be full of joy when he saw Princess Ping today, but if Princess Ping told him that he came for another son, the prince might also be disappointed and sad.

Both are sons, why the difference is so big.

"Biao Aunt, don't worry." Jiayu said softly, "Big Cousin is in good health. Although the dungeon is damp and gloomy, it shouldn't hurt to stay for a few days. Besides, Big Cousin is a royal son, so no one would dare to treat him."He used lynching, and it will be all right after a few days for his injustice to be punished, you have to pay attention to your body now..."

Before she finished speaking, Princess Ping suddenly interrupted her: "Jiayu, Aunt Biao, please tell the prince that this matter has nothing to do with Hengming, let him let him go, or if he must find someone to admit punishment, the poison isI'm down, I'm down."

"What did you say, Aunt Biao?" Jiayu originally planned to comfort Princess Ping, but after hearing this, something flashed through her mind. She suddenly let go of Princess Ping's hand and asked, "Tell me, Aunt Biao,It’s really not from my big cousin.”

Her tone was firm, her water-cold eyes fixed on her, clear and clean.

Princess Ping no longer sobbed, she avoided Jiayu's gaze and said, "Of course this is impossible, why would your eldest cousin do such a thing?"

Jiayu froze all over, she stared at Princess Ping, neither willing nor able to believe it, she just said: "My cousin said that my eldest cousin didn't do such a thing, since that's the case, just wait patiently, Your Majesty will neverI wronged my own nephew."

"But……"

"No matter what, Uncle Cousin can't watch Big Cousin being wronged and wronged. Cousin, please relax first."

After hearing this, Princess Ping looked up at Jiayu, and suddenly patted the back of her hand: "I'm the one who was impatient, Aunt Biao, I understand."

The scorching sun hung high above the blue sky, and the sun fell on the gorgeous summer azaleas, with a hint of gold in the red.

Jiayu sent Princess Ping to the side door, watched the exquisite and low-luxury carriage leave at the side door, she turned her head, thinking about Prince Ping, and walked slowly back to the inner room.

Just after entering the room, Qingzhu lowered her head and handed Jiayu a letter: "Girl, when you sent Princess Ping away just now, it was delivered by the second door."

The letter was sealed with wax, and Jiayu reached out to take it, and asked casually, "Who gave it to you?"

Qingzhu moved closer to Jiayu's ear: "It was sent by the prince."

Prince?

Jiayu was startled, and impatiently tore open the envelope, staring intently at the letter paper.

Now all the news is that the prince's health is recovering, but Jiayu can't make it happen in her heart. Now that she sees his letter, Jiayu feels that the dust has settled.

He said that his health was indeed recovering, and that His Majesty thought of the great suffering he had suffered this time, so he didn't care about the last time he went out privately.He said that all kinds of things are getting better now, like the mold all over his body is suddenly away from him, he is very happy in his heart, and he wants to share this joy with his cousin impatiently.

Jiayu was obsessed with the prince's recent situation, read the letter and saw that everything was fine, and felt joy in her life, she never paid much attention to his affectionate words.

At the end, he said that he wanted to see her tomorrow because he had something to do, and he would wait for her in the teahouse from now on, and it would be okay if she couldn't come because of something, but he would be lost, very lost, very lost.

Jiayu looked at the letter, the last two lines of handwriting seemed magnanimous, but it was a careful thought that you must come, you must come: "Qingzhu, tell mother, I want to go out for a walk."

"Yes, miss."

Folding the letter paper, Jiayu looked at the summer azaleas outside the window, it would be good to see the prince suddenly, but Princess Ping can say that she went to the East Palace today, so she doesn't know if the prince's meeting with her has anything to do with this matter.

There are green mangosteens at the entrance of the Moon Tea House in the forest. At noon, the sun shines directly, and the shadows cast by the straight and slender green bamboos are extremely short, and the distance can be easily covered by two fingers.

The graceful girl opened the curtains and stepped on the footstool to get on and off the carriage. She wore a fence on her head, so she couldn't see her specific appearance clearly. Her skirt was very well-dressed, a conservative cross-collar style.However, the two plump chests couldn't be concealed, and the crescent-white girdle around the waist made it even more slender and delicate, unbearable to hold.Then, from the length of the pleated skirt below the waist, it can be seen that her legs are extremely long.

Even though she couldn't see her facial features clearly, she was a rare beauty from her exquisite figure.

Jiayu brought Qingzhu into the front hall of the teahouse. After Qingzhu reported the name of the wing room, Xiao Er graciously led the two of them upstairs.Arriving at the door of Haitanghua's sleeping room, Xiao Er was about to knock on the door, and the door opened from the back of the house.

"Cousin, you are here." The prince said with a smile.

Across the fence, Jiayu smiled at him.

Seeing the prince, he closed the door and followed Jiayu a few steps inside.

She untied the fence, put it on the round table made of mahogany, and looked at him carefully. Seeing that his face was rosy and energetic, without any expression of reluctance, her hanging heart fell to the ground.

The prince was also looking at her. Her skin was white and rosy, and her eyes were moist, full of his shadow. She couldn't help but smile.

"Qingzhu, bring me the things." She said again.

Qingzhu hummed, and put the small mahogany box that had been in her hand on the round table, Jiayu gently pushed it in front of the young man: "Since you are well, I will return this to you."

The prince's gaze fell on the box, where the eyelashes covered the place, and an obscure meaning flashed: "Since it has been given to you, it is yours."

Before Jiayu could speak again, the prince whispered to Qingzhu, the guard of Lin who was guarding the door: "Go to the next box and wait."

Jiayu heard this, and knew that the prince had something to say to herself, the prince was polite and considerate, if it wasn't for the fact that he didn't need to let the two know what he said next, he would definitely not send them away, thinking of this, Jiayu nodded to Qingzhu,let her go.

With a creak, the door was closed by guard Lin who went out later.

"Jiayu, take these things back." He pushed the mahogany box in front of her.

"No." Jiayu directly refused, "Let's not talk about how Your Highness lied to me back then, tell me that your condition is not serious, but now, since you have recovered, this box should be returned to you."

Seeing her resolute expression, the corner of his mouth suddenly pressed down: "There is no way to take back a gift from Gu. If you don't want it, just throw it away."

Speaking of the latter, it is obviously a bit childish.

Jiayu smiled and said, "It's a good intention to know the prince, but you are in a high position now, so you just say that the transactions are handled normally, which doesn't cost money. Guard Lin said that half of your money is used to help widows and lonely, that's a good thing, so I won't say it."But my half, I have nowhere to use if I stay with me. Your Highness, take it back."

Hearing this, the prince only looked at her, but still didn't speak.

Seeing that he recovered from a serious illness, but his temper seemed to be a little more stubborn than when he was a child, Jiayu had no choice but to continue to persuade softly: "Your Highness, I really don't need this money if I stay with me, but you can use it."of."

"You are afraid that you will not have money to use, you are worried about Gu." The prince suddenly said, "It's not that you think the gift is expensive and you don't want to accept it."

She was worried that he had no money to use, but she was indeed unwilling to accept his extravagant gift, the one hundred thousand taels of silver note, which was probably all the furniture of the Marquis of Weiyuan.Although they have a good relationship, they can't casually gift her such a large amount of property.

Just looking into his eyes, Jiayu nodded, "Of course I'm worried that you don't have money to spend."

"In that case, I will listen to my cousin." The prince said with a smile on his face, "I always want my cousin to know that you are the most important person in this world, even my own parents... they are no match for you.", no gift is dear to you."

As he spoke, the face behind him gradually darkened, and his voice decreased accordingly.

When Jiayu heard this, her heart felt sore and painful, she raised her head, looked at the prince fixedly, and finally couldn't help asking: "Princess Ping yesterday..."

As soon as the words fell, the prince smiled bitterly: "Cousin don't talk about them, Gu was seriously ill that day, and wanted to see them for the last time. Although His Majesty was angry with me at the time, it can be seen that I agreed, but they didn't want to come., only cousin, you are in danger of being discovered," said the prince with his slender fingers resting between his eyebrows, blocking most of his eyes, "in this case, Gu is not a sticky person. It was only when he found out that the poisoning and peaceWang Shizi is related, but they came to the East Palace impatiently, thinking that they would never want to see me."

After he finished speaking, he let out a smirk, straightly picked up the white jade wine cup on the table, and poured it down, then continued to pour the wine, and poured it down his throat.

Seeing this, Jiayu hurriedly stopped him: "Your Highness, stop drinking."

He looked up at her, shook his head and smiled, "It's just thirsty."

While drinking, he continued to murmur in a low voice, "If they don't like me, that's fine, but why can't they tolerate me like this? Tianjia is ruthless, and I understand it. Two years ago, my cousins wished I would be gone.I didn't expect him to do the same," he said, drinking down a few more cups of Jiutan spring wine.

When Jiayu heard her talking about poisoning, her heart sank. She didn't believe that Prince Ping poisoned the prince, but Princess Riping's performance that day and what the prince said today made her hesitate.

Thinking about whether to ask, but when she raised her eyes, she saw that the prince was still pouring wine down her throat, one cup after another, and even her eyes began to turn red. She was worried in her heart, he just recovered from a serious illness, how could heDrinking indiscriminately, or sad wine.

But he was lost in thought and didn't listen to what he said. Jiayu said it a few times, but seeing that he was getting drunk, she stretched out her hand without hesitation and snatched his glass away.

The movement was too fast, the white jade wine cup was slightly tilted, and the transparent wine was sprinkled on the back of her hand, which was cold and wet.

She frowned and put down the wine glass, but he suddenly wrapped his arms around her waist and buried his head in her belly.

Jiayu froze all over, the man's scent of ambergris mixed with the strong aroma of Jiutan spring wine, mixing into a complex smell.

The arms around her waist didn't seem to be very strong, but through a thin layer of summer shirt, it was easy to feel the strength of his arms.

Jiayu took a deep breath and gently pushed him away. He frowned slightly, and immediately tightened his grip. He looked at her with misty eyes, and murmured: "I, I, I know I'm not good, I'm not lovable, but ITried to be the best at everything, why, they still don't like me, don't like me."

Obviously a little drunk, Jiayu relaxed her body and coaxed softly: "Your Highness, you are fine, better than many people in the world."

"Really?" He looked at her fixedly, a different kind of light flickered in Wulingling's eyes, and then disappeared, "You didn't lie to me?"

"Of course it's true. Your Highness is fine with everything, but I have little relationship with them." Jiayu coaxed him in a low voice, but although her tone was coaxing, she also spoke the truth from her heart.

Prince Ping's mansion and the crown prince should really not be destined to each other and shouldn't be relatives.

"Then do you think it's better for me or your cousin." The prince looked straight at her with eyes clearer than glazed eyes, showing hope and anticipation.

this……

Jiayu felt that the prince was really drunk, to ask such a childish question.

"Why don't you speak?" He opened his lips and asked vaguely, spraying out a strong smell of alcohol.

After hearing this, she felt helpless, the prince treated her very well, even no worse than her elder brother, although her cousin treated the prince badly, she was like her own mother.

It's really hard to choose.

Seeing her hesitation, veins popped out of the back of his hand wrapped around her, and he slowly lowered his eyelids to block the veil that kept surging in them.

"Cousin, who do you choose?" The prince's voice was soft and slightly drunk.But if you look closely, it is like a poisonous snake hiding in a hidden place in summer, guarding its prey tightly, and he will definitely get the prey.
