Chapter 79 Wan'er who blocked the sword for Zhang Zong
"Wan'er...Wan'er can't come if she has something to do, so I'll come on her behalf." The girl from the palace replied, but she was still too young. When she mentioned Shangguan Wan'er, her face became a little unnatural.
Zhang Zong naturally saw the other party’s abnormality at a glance, and his heart sank for a moment. Then he said, “I don’t make things difficult for you. Tell me what Shangguan Wan’er is like. I will give you the perfume now so that you won’t be blamed by the princess when you go back!”
Zhang Zong's words also made the girl show a hesitant expression. Originally, things in the palace could not be said to the outside world, but if she could not get the perfume back, she might blame her for her with her temper. On the contrary, if she got the perfume in time, she might get rewards. Especially now that something happened to Shangguan Wan'er, she might be able to replace her as the princess's personal maid.
Thinking of this, the girl also showed an excited expression on her face, and then nodded and said, "Okay, but little husband, don't tell others that I said it!"
"Don't worry, I will never reveal any of it!" Zhang Zong nodded solemnly.
"Actually, Wan'er is in trouble. Some time ago, she didn't know where to hear some stories. One night, the princess couldn't sleep and got angry. Everyone in the hall served them carefully. In order to coax the princess, Wan'er told the story to the princess. As a result, the princess really liked it, and even told the story to the queen later, and the result..."
"How is the result?" Zhang Zong also asked quickly when he heard this. He could guess without asking that the story Shangguan Wan'er told was probably the content of the novel she eavesdropped here last time. Zhang Zong didn't think much about it at that time, but he just thought that since the other party liked to listen, he asked her to listen for a while, but he didn't expect that it would harm the other party.
"As a result, the queen was furious when she heard it, saying that Wan'er told the story that she was telling the princess, so she beat her up and locked her up. Now she is not aware of life and death. However, similar things have happened in the palace before, and no one has seen the palace maids who were locked up in the future!"
The girl finally showed a look of sadness, because she thought that like Shangguan Wan'er, her fate was completely held in her hands. She didn't know when she said the wrong thing or did the wrong thing, and in the end she might end up with a terrible end.
"Thank you!" After hearing this, Zhang Zong immediately turned around and went back to the room, took out the perfume and handed it to the other party. As a result, the girl saw that Zhang Zong actually gave two bottles of perfume, which made her look unhappy, because the princess always thought that she could only get one bottle of perfume. Now that there is one more bottle, it will definitely make the princess very happy and she will also be rewarded.
Thinking of this, the girl also happily said goodbye to Zhang Zong, then turned around and trot away. Zhang Zong stood in the yard for a while, not hesitating whether to save him, but thinking about how to save him? He definitely had no choice but to ask others for help, and there were only two people who could help him, one was Li Hong and the other was Princess Chengyang.
Finally, Zhang Zong stepped out of the yard and hired a carriage to go straight to Princess Chengyang's mansion. In comparison, Princess Chengyang is more suitable than Li Hong because the palace is Wu Meiniang's territory. Although Li Hong is Wu Meiniang's son, the mother and son have long broken up. So if Li Hong comes forward, not only will he not be able to save Shangguan Wan'er, but he may also anger Wu Meiniang.
In contrast, although Princess Chengyang and Wu Meiniang are also powerful, she can use Li Zhi to interfere in the affairs of the palace. After all, she is a woman. Even if she interferes in the affairs of the harem, she will not let Li Zhi have any other ideas. Li Hong is not able to do this.
On the way to meet Princess Chengyang, Zhang Zong also secretly blamed himself. Shangguan Wan'er had an accident, mainly because of the stories he told. Thinking of Princess Chengyang's previous reminder to him, this time it could be said that Shangguan Wan'er blocked the knife for him, so he could not sit rudely no matter what.
Soon the carriage came to the eldest princess's mansion, and Zhang Zong immediately jumped out of the carriage and walked in quickly. The guards at the door had known him for a long time. After all, Zhang Zong had lived in the mansion for a long time before, so Zhang Zong didn't need to report to come to the mansion.
Soon Xue Shao received the news and rushed to the front hall. When he saw Zhang Zong who was anxious, he immediately asked in surprise: "Brother Shi, what's wrong with you? Did you encounter something urgent?"
"The princess, I must see her as soon as possible!" Zhang Zong asked anxiously.
"My mother is playing mahjong with her sisters in the inner house. What's the matter with you, Brother Shi?" Xue Shao asked even more surprised when he heard this.
"Human life is at stake, and it's a matter in the palace. I'm afraid only the eldest princess can help me!" Zhang Zong had no time to explain, and after that, he urged Xue Shao to take him to see Princess Chengyang.
Xue Shao didn't dare to waste time when he saw this, so he immediately took Zhang Zong into the inner house and sent someone to notify Princess Chengyang. Soon, Princess Chengyang met Zhang Zong in a living room of the inner house.
"What made you run to me so anxiously?" Princess Chengyang stepped into the living room and asked immediately with concern. This was the first time she saw Zhang Zong so panic.
"Princess, you are really good at predicting things. If I had known I would never have told those stories!" Zhang Zong also smiled bitterly at this time, and then eavesdropped on Shangguan Wan'er and told Princess Taiping that caused a great disaster.
"Shangguan Wan'er? You said that this unlucky little palace maid is Shangguan Yi's granddaughter?" Princess Chengyang also looked surprised after hearing Zhang Zong's story, especially her identity was very surprised.
"Yes, Shangguan Yi's family was confiscated. Shangguan Wan'er was just born at that time and was confiscated into the Yeting Palace with her mother Zheng as a slave. When she grew up, she became Princess Taiping's maid. However, she did not expect that she would get into trouble this time and asked the eldest princess to save her life!" Zhang Zong also solemnly requested.
Princess Chengyang also showed a thoughtful look at this time. After a while, she suddenly shook her head and said, "It's hard! It's too difficult! Although she is Shangguan Yi's granddaughter and has some incense to me, the harem belongs to that woman's territory, and even I don't have time to interfere."
When Zhang Zong heard that Princess Chengyang seemed to refuse to help her, he became even more anxious. Finally, he suddenly stepped forward and saluted again: "Princess, Shangguan Wan'er was punished because of the story I told. If she suffered a great disaster, I would be in a state of conscience. I would like to ask the Princess to save her life. I am willing to pay any price!"
"You are just too soft-hearted. There are so many pitiful people in this world. Do you want to save them?" Princess Chengyang frowned and said a lesson. She was not completely unable to save them. She just felt that the price to save Shangguan Wan'er was too high, so she didn't want to take action. Unexpectedly, Zhang Zong actually came forward to help Shangguan Wan'er plead for mercy.
"I can't control others, but this matter has happened because of me. If I sit rudely, I'm afraid I will never feel at ease in my life!" Zhang Zong asked again.
Seeing Zhang Zong's sincere words, Princess Chengyang couldn't help but sigh, and finally nodded and said, "Forget it, just think that I owe you. Just wait here and don't go anywhere. I'll go to the palace now!"
"Thank you, Princess!" Zhang Zong said excitedly when he saw the other party agreeing.
Looking at Zhang Zong's excited appearance, Princess Chengyang shook her head helplessly, then ordered someone to prepare a carriage, and then hurried to Tai Chi Palace.
Zhang Zong and Xue Shao also personally sent Princess Chengyang out. Looking at the back of the carriage gradually fading away, Zhang Zong became more and more grateful. Princess Chengyang was unwilling to save Shangguan Wan'er, but this time it was entirely for his own sake. After this incident, he would find a way to repay this favor no matter what!
