Chapter 388: Pretty as a porcelain doll, but also deadly when she acts coquettishly
After staying in Penglai Tower for a whole day, Qiao Wanyan returned to the Shangshu Mansion when it was getting dark.
Just as I reached the door and hadn't entered yet, I heard two simultaneous voices.
"Second Miss!"
"Second Miss!"
Qiao Wanyan stopped and looked back, only to see Jing Yuan and Mo Xiao coming from two opposite directions.
As soon as the words were out, Jing Yuan and Mo Xiao looked at each other, and the next moment they tacitly rolled their eyes at each other, stopped their horses at the door, and dismounted.
Jing Yuan took the lead and said, "Second Miss, my prince said that he wants to invite you to the East Palace for something important."
Mo Xiao said, "Second Miss, my prince wants you to go to the palace. He said he has something very important to tell you!"
"Are you sick?" Jingyuan couldn't help but curse.
Mo Xiao snorted coldly, "Do you have medicine?"
The two of them glared at each other fiercely again.
Zi Yuan curled her lips. Both of them were sick.
She tilted her head to glance at her young lady, waiting to see whether she was going to ignore one or both of them.
Or maybe he could take advantage of his bad mood and the fact that their masters are not around to give them a fair scolding to vent his anger.
Qiao Wanyan was silent for a moment, and Mo Xiao hurriedly walked up to her and said with a smile, "Second Miss, it's getting dark soon. Can you tell Madam Qiao Bingyan to avoid worrying her?"
Jingyuan was stunned for a moment; he didn't expect him to do this.
Mo Xiao added, "Look at the beautiful pair of Shu brocade shoes of the Second Miss. Don't make them dirty by stepping on them. Step on my clothes to get into the carriage, okay?"
Jing Yuan's jaw dropped in shock. He was speechless for a long time looking at Mo Xiao's unscrupulous behavior of flattering him.
Qiao Wanyan got on the carriage and went to Prince Jing's Mansion.
Jingyuan stood in the cold wind, doubting his life.
Mo Xiao seems to have changed, becoming so shameless and despicable!
Jing Yuan returned to the East Palace in a dusty state. Standing at a distance, he looked at the figure in the study and was a little unsure about how to go back and report.
Who could have thought that he would meet Mo Xiao? Who could have thought that Mo Xiao would snatch her away in such a shameless way?
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."
He Zhiyu glanced behind him, but didn't see the person he wanted to see, and a hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes.
"Your Highness, the Second Miss is not feeling well and cannot go out, it is not her fault that she is not here on purpose."
He Zhiyu paused, "Really?"
Jing Yuan nodded his head like a hammer, "How dare I lie to Your Highness?"
At this time, a guard came in from outside the door, "Your Highness, I have sent the case file of the smuggling case to Prince Jing's Mansion. I happened to see Mo Xiao and the second young lady of the Minister of Revenue's Mansion at the door, so I handed it directly to Mo Xiao."
Jingyuan's head buzzed and he looked at him.
No, buddy, why are you so mean?
He Zhiyu looked at Jing Yuan, "Are you feeling unwell and unable to go out?"
Jing Yuan said with a stiff face, "Your Highness, when I arrived, the Second Miss was no longer in the mansion."
"How dare you!" He Zhiyu shouted angrily, "Why don't you just tell the truth?!"
Seeing this, the other guard retreated silently.
Jing Yuan knelt down with a plop, "I know I was wrong. When I arrived at the Shangshu Mansion, Mo Xiao also happened to go there to invite the Second Miss to go to Prince Jing's Mansion. The Second Miss ignored me and got on the carriage to go to Prince Jing's Mansion."
Jing Yuan's voice became softer and softer as he spoke, but He Zhiyu had always had excellent hearing and heard it clearly.
He Zhiyu remembered what Chen Che said that day, that Wan Yan had been cured of the love poison.
Even after the love poison was removed, she still chose to go to Prince Jing's Mansion.
Last time in Chengping County, he could comfort Wanyan and she chose to go with He Yanli because at that time there was a greater possibility that He Yanli could take her home safely. She was just scared and wanted to go home quickly.
But now......
Why? Her previous behavior could not be fake, why did she choose to go to Prince Jing's mansion even after the love poison was resolved?
It was Chen Che who was deceiving himself, it had to be like this!
She has always been as rude as the snakes and scorpions, others don't know but she knows it clearly.
He wanted to ask Wanyan in person whether the love poison had been cured or not.
Jingwang Mansion
Qingyun Hall
Qiao Wanyan did not enter the room because He Yanli was taking a nap with his eyes closed on a recliner in the yard.
The rocking chair rocked gently but there was no creaking sound. He Yanli was dressed in plain white clothes, and his long, smooth hair, which was usually tied up with a jade hairpin, was scattered behind him. His hair was shiny black, and under the moonlight, his skin looked even clearer and whiter, making him look less evil.
The breeze blows on my face, as if it wants to crush all the spring in the garden onto a rocking chair.
When Mo Xiao saw this scene, he was stunned for a moment and blinked. When did he change his clothes?
"My Lord, the Second Miss has arrived."
He Yanli slowly opened his eyes and tilted his head slightly to look at her.
Mo Xiao tactfully stepped aside.
Qiao Wanyan walked over and said, "Your Majesty, this outfit......"
She seemed to want to say something but hesitated. He Yanli's expression stiffened a little. Qiao Wanyan spoke again.
"It looks like the castor silk brocade I gave to the prince before. The color and pattern match."
He Yanli didn't care. "I threw away the things you gave me a long time ago. I burned them all the day before I went to the National Temple. I didn't ask you to come here today to get close to me."
Qiao Wanyan pursed her lips and said, "But the castor silk brocade was bought by my grandfather from the Qiang Kingdom. There are only two pieces in Dayu. I made one into a dress, and I gave the other one to the prince as a birthday gift."
Qiao Wanyan sighed and said, "Maybe someone below forgot to burn the material. After all, the prince is a man of high moral character and would not do something as despicable as deliberately deceiving me."
He Yanli: “….”
I see why I didn't say it earlier...
So angry!
"Why did the prince ask me to come here?" Qiao Wanyan changed the subject while she was ahead.
He Yanli let out a long breath, "The case of Li Yingjiang and his wife being sent back to the capital by the Tianshu Camp to assassinate you is under my jurisdiction. This matter is ultimately related to you. Even if I don't want to see you, I have to ask you to come over."
Qiao Wanyan was puzzled: "But Your Majesty, shouldn't the case be tried in the Sanfashi or the government office? Why does it have to be held in Your Majesty's palace?"
He Yanli paused, "Why do you have so many questions?"
This sentence can be translated into five words in Qiao Wanyan's ears.
There is no excuse for this.
Qiao Wanyan lowered her eyes and pulled at her handkerchief, saying timidly, "My Lord, please don't be mean to me. I'm a coward and can't stand being scared."
She continued, "Before, I was hunted by Li Yingjiang and his wife. I didn't understand why they wanted to kill me. After asking them carefully, I learned that they hated the prince but couldn't find a chance to kill him, so they wanted to kill the most important woman in the prince's heart."
Qiao Wanyan covered her face with a handkerchief, "I am so pitiful..."
He Yanli rested his elbows on the armrests and lowered his head to support his forehead, with the corners of his lips curved in an arc that could not be suppressed.
She is so delicate.
