Actinin Qin could not help but feel a chill in her heart, she only felt that it was shameless. But since Lin Pei was his master, she could not say anything.
At the King Rui Mansion.
Princess Changze sat blankly on his teacher's chair, staring at the figure who had long disappeared outside the door, unable to recover from his shock. Even his tears had dried a long time ago, but his heart was completely empty.
After the banquet in the palace yesterday, she thought that the Empress Zhang would not easily let them off. She only thought of moving back to the King Rui Palace before the matter escalated, and also pondered on what she should do.
She only thought that this man was here to discuss how to save her. Only, she never thought that the man she had loved for more than ten years would actually say such words, and now, it was as if a million knives were gouging out the flesh in her heart.
Maid Du half knelt on the ground and said sincerely: ”... Princess, he has already left. ”
Everyone said that the Princess Changze had a noble identity, but no one had ever felt that the Princess Changze was pitiful. But at this moment, she only thought of four words — The surface of the ground was dark and decayed, and when the Old Prince Rui and the Old Prince Rui passed away one after another, the Princess Changze was unable to sleep at all. He held onto her hands, ”Grandma, I feel so bad, I feel so bad!”
At that time, Princess Changze was so skinny that there were only bones left, and he relied on tonics to keep himself alive … He even said that he would go with the Old Prince Rui and his wife. If it wasn't for the King Rui blocking him, the Princess Changze would probably have turned into a ghost.
The tears that had dried on Princess Changze's face with great difficulty flowed down once again, ”Momo, you said … You said he loved my mother? ”
The air in the room seemed to freeze right away. From Maid Du's point of view, Lin Pei had never actually loved Princess Changze, even if there had been love before, it was only his identity as the Princess Changze and his young ignorance.
But now, seeing Princess Changze's heartbroken expression, Maid Du could only secretly sigh in his heart, ”Princess, what are you saying? What if Assistant Minister Lin didn't love you? How did I make those promises to you? Back then, the reason the Assistant Minister Lin married the merchant's daughter was out of helplessness. All these years he had seen your eyes filled with guilt, your eyes could not be deceived … ”
The Princess Changze laughed bitterly and interrupted her. ”But he said he wanted me to go to the empress dowager's place and say I killed Wang Pei? Grandma, if he did not want to be with me at that time, how could he have sent people to kill Wang Pei? But if he truly loves me, how could he come up with such a method …? That day, I knelt in front of the empress dowager and said with absolute certainty that Wang Pei's death had nothing to do with me.
Her tears streamed down even more. In fact, she had thought of helping this man carry the bag before, but when these words came from Lin Pei's mouth, it was instead filled with ridicule … It was a waste to mock her for so many years.
Thinking back on Lin Pei's words just now, each word was like needles, piercing through her years of hope.
Maid Du did not dare to reply. He hesitated for a long time before sighing, ”This servant does not know about these things. This servant only knows that I have been a widow for most of my life, and have seen through these things …” There are some things that a servant wouldn't have advised you before, your identity is noble, what kind of man cannot marry, and you only have your heart set on Assistant Minister Lin, let's not talk about anything else, let's just talk about the matter of Assistant Minister Lin killing Wang Pei. ”
”You kept saying that the Assistant Minister Lin had sent people to kill Wang Pei in order to look like you, but have you thought about it? You better not say that Madam Lian has Lin Shu by her side. This Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion is Assistant Minister Lin's territory, if Assistant Minister Lin really wanted to kill someone, it would be with just a finger's worth of effort, but he didn't do anything? What did it mean? Isn't that just saying that he does not want to bring trouble upon herself? But since that is the case, why did he want to kill Wang Pei and cause everyone to suspect you? ”
Princess Changze stared blankly at him. He had truly been blinded by love and could not even think of such a simple logic.
Back then, she had not believed anything Lin Pei had said.
Maid Du carefully wiped the tears off her face with the handkerchief, ”Assistant Minister Lin wants to kill Wang Pei, there are many reasons for doing so. For example, Wang Pei used his life to threaten Assistant Minister Lin, and wanted to obtain some benefits from Assistant Minister Lin, for example, Wang Pei has always been a good wine, so he likes to spout nonsense whenever he drinks too much cat urine. ”For example, because of the power struggle in the imperial court …”
She listed a few things, but didn't mention a single word of Lin Pei's sincere love for the Princess Changze.
Princess Changze was stunned, and said hesitantly: ”But back then, he clearly said that he only loved me in this life …”
She was really a woman who was deeply in love. She still didn't know how to repent even at this point.
