Chapter 27: Truth will come to light
Yu Fei squinted at him and said softly, "Are you going to make me die of joy... or strangle me to death?"
Her voice was intermittent, her breath was weak, and she seemed to be dying. Jing Cang glanced at her from the side and saw that her face was flushed, her eyes were tearful, and she looked like a fairy.
He let go of her neck, grabbed her waist, and sneered, "Of course it's the latter."
Seeing the satisfied look on his stern brows, Yu Fei didn't believe his threat, but pretended to be afraid and rubbed her neck.
Jing Cang called the palace maids to come in and clean up.
Yu Fei hugged his waist and said, "I'm so tired, I want to rest here for a while." She had never slept on the prince's bed, and this was her first time entering his bedroom. She was afraid that he would disagree, "I must leave before dark."
The bedroom is only for resting, and there is no important secret. Jing Cang nodded, and seeing her snow-white breasts shaking and her slender waist, he couldn't help but feel distracted, and patted her buttocks, "You are not done with your wrong shouting, wait here tonight to continue to be punished."
Seeing that he said seriously that he would come back at night to continue, Yu Fei said jokingly, "Your Highness can do whatever you want with me, inside and outside."
Half a month passed in the blink of an eye. Yu Fei lived like an old man. Apart from eating, drinking and having fun, there was nothing important to do every day. He and Jing Cang had quarrels and fights in bed every now and then.
This morning, an uninvited guest came to the East Palace.
The Prime Minister's daughter Yang Zhi came to present cakes to the Empress, and also gave one to the Crown Prince, and even invited her maid to come and taste it.
If Jing Yi came here like a weasel visiting a chicken with ulterior motives, then Yang Zhi was also like the rising tide of Qiantang River.
But she is bound to Jing Cang, and the day when she will face the heroine will come sooner or later.
It is a blessing, not a curse. It is a curse that cannot be avoided. Yu Fei will get over it. Anyway, no matter what happens, Jing Cang has to cover for her.
Yang Zhi was sitting in a stone pavilion in the garden, wearing a blue dress and black hair, with an elegant posture. From a distance, she looked like a beautiful painting of a lady.
Yu Fei bowed and sat down. Yang Zhi opened the food box, took out some snacks, poured her a cup of tea, and raised her hand and said, "Try it."
He acted just like the master of the East Palace.
Yu Fei picked up a piece and found it tasted like chewing wax. He just picked up the tea when he heard Yang Zhi say, "The prince also likes this sweet-scented osmanthus cake very much when paired with Guzhu purple bamboo shoot tea."
Yu Fei likes to drink milk in modern times and has no knowledge of tea ceremony. She put down the teacup and said, "Miss Yang knows what His Highness likes."
"We grew up together." Yang Zhiruo mentioned it casually, and then asked Yu Fei, "I heard that Miss Yu was the apple of her father's eye at home, and she was free and unrestrained. Are you used to it after coming to the palace?"
The words seemed caring, but they were still like a host asking a guest. Yu Fei nodded slightly, "Not bad."
"What a love story." Yang Zhi smiled, her beautiful face blooming like an orchid, elegant and beautiful, "Miss Yu, a rich girl is willing to be a slave for the prince, this is so sincere. With your looks and family background, if you were in Shu County, you would definitely marry a man of your dreams and become his wife."
Yang Zhi spoke in a gentle voice, as if she really cared about her. Yu Fei and Jing Cang had dealt with each other before. These nobles and famous families were just fake masks welded on their faces.
She asked calmly, "What does Miss Yang want to say?"
Yang Zhi picked up the tea lid, brushed off the tea leaves in the cup, and said slowly: "It is true that a wise bird chooses a tree to roost in, but people should not only pursue the small profits in front of them, but also think about their long-term future."
Changing the subject, "Miss Yu, have you ever thought about how you would cope if the prince got married one day? Would you be willing to be inferior to him?"
Hearing this, Yu Fei guessed that Yang Zhi must have sent people to Shu County to investigate her and learned that she was arrogant and domineering. She would not tolerate any sand in her eyes, let alone being inferior to others.
This was very similar to the prelude of "I'll give you five million to leave my husband" in a domineering CEO's novel. Yu Fei responded, "If I don't want to be inferior to others, what can Miss Yang do?"
Yang Zhi smiled, "I can help you leave the palace. It's better to suffer a short pain now than a long pain in the future." Then she decisively dispelled her concerns, "The prince is proud and will never pester a woman who wants to leave him. If he is not easy to talk to, and the queen is reasonable, I will plead with her on your behalf."
Yu Fei smiled and said, "Miss Yang put herself in my shoes and thought for me. This is really well-intentioned."
She shook her head and pretended to sigh: "It's a pity that I always believe in living for today and worrying about tomorrow. I'm afraid I'll let you down."
"Miss Yu, don't you want to leave the prince?" Yang Zhi's smile disappeared.
Yu Fei sensed the tense atmosphere and said sternly, "Unless he tells me to leave."
In fact, Jing Cang would never let her go until the secret of the worm was solved. Even if it was solved in the future, it was still unknown whether he would take her life or torture her to get revenge.
Yu Fei can only play the role of a stubborn and infatuated person.
"It seems that you are sure that the Crown Prince is interested in you." Yang Zhi said inexplicably, her eyes roving up and down Yu Fei, as if she wanted to find out what's so special about her.
"I heard that there was something strange about your relationship with the prince. It was not as rumored that you fell in love because of his life-saving grace. You first snatched the prince from his concubine's sister, and then tried to insult him. When you failed, you broke his legs in anger. His temporary amnesia was also caused by you. You also took advantage of this period to pretend to be good and pretend to be his lifesaver..."
After all, truth will come out. After Jing Yi had investigated everything, Yang Zhi also got the whole picture.
Yu Fei met her inquiring eyes and laughed. His smile became more and more unstoppable. He covered his mouth with his sleeves, tears welled up in the corners of his eyes, and asked back: "Miss Yang, do you believe such an outrageous thing? Your Highness is brave and resourceful, would he be such a person who can't distinguish right from wrong?"
Yang Zhi was stunned.
At first, she heard the spy's report and felt that if this was the truth, Jing Cang would definitely kill the woman when he regained his memory. He was a kind and upright person, but deep down he inherited the coldness and suspicion of an emperor.
When he was thirteen years old, a palace maid climbed onto the bed, and the queen ordered her to be executed. The beautiful girl fell at his feet and begged for mercy, but he remained indifferent and watched her being dragged away and beaten to death by the palace maids.
Moreover, Yu Fei had done such heinous things that even if he died a hundred times, it would be difficult to atone for his sins.
Seeing Yang Zhi's hesitation, Yu Fei brought out the excuse he had used to fool Jing Yi that day to refute her: "I was the first to find His Highness and sent my sister to rescue him. There was no kidnapping. As for the insults and injuries, they were all fabricated by others. When I picked up His Highness, his leg had been broken and he had lost his memory."
Seeing her confident, Yang Zhi's heart began to beat. Thinking of the witnesses placed in Yang's house, she regained her confidence and said seriously, "The Empress must want to find out the truth more than I do. She is even more afraid that there is a ruthless and ruthless seductress around the prince. Miss Yu is a clever talker. Let's see if she can clear her name." She stood up and was about to leave.
Yu Fei's heart skipped a beat. She didn't want to bring this up in front of the empress. "What do you mean, Miss Yang?"
Yang Zhi smiled sweetly: "This is related to the safety of the crown prince. Even if it is groundless, the royal family will definitely investigate it thoroughly."
"Miss Yu is innocent, so why worry about others throwing dirty water on you? If the Queen finds out that the truth does not match the testimony, she will compensate you and the Yu family."
"Testimony?" Yu Fei caught Yang Zhi's words, "Do you have anyone from the Yu family in your hands?"
Yang Zhi did not comment and brought up the previous topic: "Miss Yu, if you still want to leave the palace, I can still help you."
Yang Zhi wanted to help, but Yu Fei didn't dare to accept it. If she said she wanted to leave, Jing Cang would definitely imprison her, and being imprisoned would not be as good as being free.
Besides, who knows if Yang Zhi is cheating? What if after scaring her away, he turns around and takes the witnesses to catch her in a trap? She will have no way to defend herself then.
Yu Fei didn't want to think so badly of others, so he asked casually: "If you think so, why are you still helping me?"
Yang Zhi lowered her eyes and smiled bitterly: "The prince likes you, I don't want to break up with him, I'd rather you leave by yourself."
The original story is about the heroine's secret love coming true, and finally she and the hero get married. Yu Fei was a little annoyed and got involved in the two of them, saying from the bottom of her heart: "Sorry, I can't leave."
Even if I want to leave, it's not now.
Yang Zhi thought she was reluctant to leave Jing Cang, so she nodded, "Then be prepared. I will be soft-hearted, but the Queen will not."
Of course Yu Fei knew the Queen's harsh style of doing things.
If the emperor and empress are alarmed, the court will send people to Shu County to investigate the Yu family one by one. There will definitely be a lot of ignorant servants who fear the power of heaven and confess her evil deeds. When everyone points fingers at her, Jing Cang can only tell the truth about the subjugation of the snake if he wants to protect her. When the snake is released, even if he wants to save her life, his parents will not allow it.
The only solution was for Jing Cang to refute the Yu family witnesses in front of the Queen. The victim refused to admit his crime, so no amount of testimony would be enough.
But how could she comfort him? Faced with the evidence, he stood firmly on her side and did not tell his biological mother about the incident.
At this moment, he was still thinking about killing her after freeing the snake.
