Chapter 226 Princess, please
As Xiao Qinghe and Wei Lingze walked out of the main courtyard, they heard him ask gloomily, "Who did you drink with today?"
His tone was cold, not caring, but rather hiding anger.
Xiao Qinghe knew very well that if she had just had a few drinks outside, Wei Lingze would not be so angry. A large part of his anger was directed at Chunxi.
But why?
My aunt returned safely, why was he so angry?
Xiao Qinghe couldn't figure it out, so she replied calmly, "I was at the Princess's residence, drinking with Yue'er and my aunt."
"You knew Cao Chunxi was back a long time ago, why didn't you tell me?"
Wei Lingze raised his voice, giving people the illusion that he was being kept in the dark and being played around with.
Xiao Qinghe wasn't afraid, she just looked at him unreasonably: "Why should I tell you, do you have any special relationship with my aunt? Do I have to let you know her whereabouts?"
Xiao Qinghe asked questions one after another with a cold look in his eyes.
Wei Lingze gritted his teeth and said, "Do you know how much effort I put into receiving the envoys during this period? As soon as Cao Chunxi returned, those old scoundrels from the Censorate couldn't wait to advise Shen Qingyuan to be included in the reception. It was because I was caught off guard that he reaped the fruits of my labor!"
At the end of his speech, Wei Lingze became a little exasperated.
In fact, the fact that Shen Qingyuan plucked the fruit was secondary. The main thing was that he didn't know that Chunxi had returned to Beijing, and he believed that Chunxi was still in his control. When those people from the Censorate recommended Shen Qingyuan, he kept talking about Cao Chunxi. Looking back, it was extremely stupid.
If Xiao Qinghe had revealed the news earlier, he wouldn't have almost been exposed in front of the emperor!
Xiao Qinghe couldn't empathize with Wei Lingze's anger. She said calmly, "I don't understand what's going on in the court. His Majesty has his reasons for wanting to reuse Uncle Shen. You getting angry with me here won't change anything."
Wei Lingze knew that his anger was just impotent rage. He took two deep breaths and asked, "How did Cao Chunxi escape back? Was it just her and the child, or was there someone else with her?"
He bought a house in Yunzhou and arranged people to watch Chunxi. When the storm was over and Shen Qingyuan gave up looking for her, he could secretly bring her back and slowly take revenge.
He spent a large sum of money to hire two desperate criminals to escort Chunxi. After meeting in Yunzhou, the two men would be killed. Except for the wet nurse, no one in Yunzhou knew that they were working for him, let alone Chunxi's identity.
He was the only one who knew the complete plan. He didn't know what went wrong that caused Chunxi to return to Hanjing.
Did Chunxi know all about his plan? Did she have any witnesses? Did she tell Shen Qingyuan about it?
On the way home, countless questions flooded into Wei Lingze's mind, so much so that he didn't care whether Xiao Qinghe would notice anything. He just wanted to know more information from Xiao Qinghe.
After hearing Wei Lingze's question, Xiao Qinghe's eyes became even colder: "Why are you suddenly so concerned about my aunt?"
“Answer my question!”
Wei Lingze suddenly roared like a completely enraged beast.
Xiao Qinghe trembled all over at his roar, and the fear of being strangled surged back into her heart. She took a step back cautiously, not daring to provoke Wei Lingze again. She said truthfully, "My aunt was rescued in Xuzhou by Prince Yu's concubine's men. Her kidnappers have been killed. After Prince Yu's concubine learned of my aunt's identity, she brought her and her nephew back to the capital."
Xuzhou?
No, the route he planned would not pass through Xuzhou at all, so how could he possibly meet Prince Yu's wife?
Cao Chunxi is lying!
But Prince Yu’s wife didn’t know Cao Chunxi at all, so how could she help her lie?
Wei Lingze couldn't figure it out, so he could only look at Xiao Qinghe suspiciously. Xiao Qinghe said coldly, "I'm telling the truth. If you don't believe me, you can go and ask Prince Yu's wife for confirmation. The Queen and the Queen Mother also know about this."
There must be something wrong with this matter, he must find out!
Wei Lingze was extremely anxious and left Xiao Qinghe behind and strode away.
Only after he walked a long way did Xiao Qinghe's shoulders slump and relax, feeling relieved that he had survived a disaster.
Fortunately, she no longer loved him.
Fortunately, she had made up her mind to leave long ago, so she didn't have to live in such fear for the rest of her life.
When night fell, Shen Qingyuan came to pick up Chunxi by candlelight.
Princess Hengyang was still not satisfied and wanted to pull Shen Qingyuan to drink with her, but Shen Qingyuan refused: "I have official business to attend to tomorrow. To avoid delays, I cannot drink."
"Tsk, people just feel boring when they get old."
Princess Hengyang was very disgusted and wanted to pull Chunxi to continue drinking. Shen Qingyuan directly picked Chunxi up by the waist and said: "It's getting late. I will take my wife home first."
"no……"
Princess Hengyang wanted to keep her, but her husband stopped her in time: "Mrs. Shen should go home. Princess still wants to drink, I can accompany you to the end."
Shen Qingyuan quickly carried Chunxi away. Princess Hengyang stared at her husband's face for a long time, and finally said with disdain, "I'm tired of seeing your old face. It's boring."
"For the past ten years, the princess has been busy looking at others and has never even looked at me. How come she is tired of me?"
The prince consort spoke in a sad tone, and Princess Hengyang seemed to think that what he said made sense. She looked at his face carefully again.
"Wen Yanshu, you have a really beautiful face. Over the years, I've seen countless men, but I haven't found anyone more handsome than you. If I hadn't been bewitched by this face, I wouldn't have been criticized and wasted ten years."
Ten years.
Not just one or two days, but more than three thousand days and nights.
This is the best situation for a woman.
Princess Hengyang was obviously drunk, and the corners of her eyes were uncontrollably red. Wen Yanshu half-knelt in front of her and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.
"It's my fault. I wasted so many years of the princess's life. I will make it up to her in the future."
"How can you make up for it? Can you afford it?"
Princess Hengyang tried to brush Wen Yanshu's hand away, but Wen Yanshu grabbed it and forcefully intertwined his fingers with hers. "I can make amends with everything I have. If I can't make amends in this life, I will continue to do so in the next life and the next, until Princess feels I have made amends."
That sounds nice.
Princess Hengyang curled her lips, then suddenly leaned over and bit Wen Yanshu's lips.
You bastard, you wasted ten years. Now you know how to talk and make this princess happy.
Princess Hengyang bit very hard. Wen Yanshu groaned in pain and his breathing became a little disordered, but he did not retreat. Instead, he held Princess Hengyang's head and stuck closer to her.
"Princess, it seems that the last time I borrowed sperm, it wasn't successful. How about trying again?"
"Okay, please beg me, Princess."
Wen Yanshu raised his head, blood oozing from his bitten lips, and said seductively, "Princess, please."
