Chapter 423
"The Second Prince probably looked down on me and felt that I would never leave his control in this life. In addition, he came back from injury that day, and he seemed extremely depressed. He ate too much wine and did not avoid people when talking to others."
Zi Yuan recalled the scene that day and whispered: "The Second Prince cursed Prince Gong as a bastard that day, and said a lot of cursing words, cursing Prince Gong as well." Those words were too ugly, Zi Yuan couldn't say it, and only summarized, "In short, the second prince has a deep prejudice against Prince Gong. According to my servants, jealousy accounts for the majority."
Chu Junlan knew that Emperor Jing Hong's love and value for Xiao Xu had long caused dissatisfaction among the princes. But the meaning of Ziyuan's words seemed to have no intention of cursing. Combined with what Xiao Xu had said about that year, her guess answer was about to come out.
However, such things cannot be done accurately by hearing and random speculation.
Chu Junlan only paid attention to it in his heart and nodded, "I understand, don't worry, since I learned about this in advance, I will find a way. Ziyuan, I will find a way to redeem you, come back to me."
Seeing that Chu Junlan was obsessed with this matter, he had no intention of disdaining her at all. Zi Yuan was moved and a happy smile appeared on her pretty face.
"No, Miss Third, I am living a good life now."
"What? Don't you want to follow me?"
Zi Yuan smiled: "The third lady will be the princess in the future. Prince Gong inherited the title. You are the princess. Now I am an unclean person. I have passed by the past like that. It is really not suitable to stay by your side."
"What are you talking about?" Chu Junlan frowned unhappily, "In my heart, nothing is cleaner than you. The past is not your fault. Go back with me. In the future, the three of us will be together as before. I am not as good as before. Our lives will only be better."
Ziyuan smiled, but tears came out. She quickly lowered her head and wore her sleeves to wipe her tears: "It's great, I'm satisfied when I heard you say this. To be honest, there are many people who have seen me in the capital. If I follow you in the future and make people recognize me, there will be someone who will gossip you and the prince behind me."
Chu Junlan said: "We are sitting upright, are we still afraid of others?"
"Miss Three, people's words are terrifying." Zi Yuan shook her head, showing her refusal to be very determined.
Chu Junlan pondered for a moment and said, "If you think so, I have a way to change your appearance. The small mole on the corners of your eyes can be removed. By putting on makeup, you will be another person at that time. But you look like it, who dares to gossip around me?"
Zi Yuan was a little moved.
Chu Junlan smiled and said, "What are you hesitating about?"
Zi Yuan lowered her eyes and pondered for a long time, and finally thought it through, saying, "Miss Three, wait until this matter is completely resolved, I am answering you."
Chu Junlan understood that Zi Yuan wanted to stay with the second prince and be able to find out some news. She shook her head and said sternly: "No, it's too dangerous for you to be with the second prince."
"It's not dangerous. The second prince doesn't seem to see me at all. He doesn't care about me, that's the best. I will be very cautious and will not let anyone see the flaws."
Chu Junlan held Zi Yuan's hand and persuaded him for a while, but Zi Yuan refused to give in.
She had no choice but to say, "I know what you think, I will find a way to solve this problem once and for all. Before that, you just need to live your life as usual. Don't do fearless things."
Zi Yuan nodded with a smile, looking at Chu Junlan and sighed: "Miss 3, I know. I haven't seen you for a few years. Miss 3 has changed a lot. She is more mature and steady than before, and she is more able to take on the uprising."
Chu Junlan smiled. Although everything was done by her original body before she relied on her life, after the memories were merged, she felt that this was her own body and that memories belonged to her. At this time, she also felt a little sad when she remembered the weakness of the past.
The two chatted for a while, and Chu Junlan quietly left.
Zi Yuan stood in the back window and watched Chu Junlan walk away neatly without anyone being discovered. Then she quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
The next day, Chu Junlan asked Jing Yu to send a letter and asked Xiao Xu to come out of the palace for an interview.
"Qingqing, is there anything important?" Xiao Xu knew that he was guarding the emperor in the palace. If there were no urgent matters, Chu Junlan would not have found him.
Chu Junlan nodded, pulled Xiao Xu together, and whispered to tell the news he found, which made Xiao Xu frown.
Chu Junlan spat: "Just say that he deliberately acted so close in front of others yesterday, as if you and me were standing aside. I didn't expect that he had such a sinister thought! In the past, he was a person who was open and honest. At least he showed everything he wanted and didn't want, and he didn't expect that his honest and honest are gone now."
After hearing Chu Junlan's evaluation of the second prince, Xiao Xu felt a little sad. He never forgot how the second prince was trying to please Chu Junlan in the past.
"Stop being angry, we already know his conspiracy now, at least we won't stare at and wait for the trap, right?" Xiao Xu comforted Chu Junlan.
Chu Junlan nodded: "Of course, you can't wait for him to come to the door, but this matter is really hard to deal with. The time they will go to assassinate the Sixth Prince is not sure at all. Can we still protect the Sixth Prince at all times? Besides, the Sixth Prince has long had a grudge with us, and even if he told him the news, he would not believe it."
Seeing Chu Junlan frowning, Xiao Xu felt as if he was being stepped on by a cat's soft claws, and he couldn't help but hug her waist and took the person into his arms.
"Don't worry, we can start first and remove the firewood from the bottom of the pot."
Chu Junlan pressed his hands against the news's chest, and was distracted by his words, and did not care how ambiguous his current posture was.
"Take off the firewood from the bottom of the cauldron?"
Xiao Xu smiled and said, "Just get rid of those people."
A simple sentence has determined the fate of many people.
Chu Junlan nodded and said, "Those people shouldn't be kept."
She felt that she was not a good person, at least she couldn't do anything to pitiful to her opponent. Now it was the time to live to the death, so how could she care about anything else? If she didn't find a way, the ones who died in the end would be her and Xiao Xu.
Chu Junlan climbed Xiao Xu's shoulder with both hands, tiptoed to his ear and whispered: "This matter cannot be reported to the government. The government may not dare to search the second prince's property. Besides, now is not the time for you to break up with the second prince. It is better to act in secret and eliminate future troubles forever."
Rulan's breath was right in her ears. Xiao Xu felt a numbness from her ears to her limbs and bones. He couldn't help but bend down and put his lips on her cheeks and corners of her mouth: "I'll listen to you."
