Leng Lanzhi fiddled with the Yingluo on her waist: "It is true that I did not return home yesterday, nor did I stay in the palace -" She opened the curtain and looked down at the slightly bent man: "Something happened suddenly, I You have no choice but to stay out all night, do you need to worry about this kind of thing?"
She spoke carelessly, her eyes were clear and arrogant, as if she was just talking about an insignificant thing.
In fact, it is indeed trivial.
In the past, Shen Yizhi wouldn't have cared about where she went, but not now.
"The princess is talking about him!" He raised his eyes and looked directly into Leng Lanzhi's eyes: "The princess did not dare to tell her whereabouts yesterday because you stayed at the foreign minister's house yesterday! Yes or no ?”
Leng Lan was stunned.
After she reacted, she became furious, picked up the tea cup on the small table and smashed it down.
The tea cup drew a transparent trace in the air with the boiling water.
Shen Yizhi didn't dodge, and the teacup hit him on the forehead.
Instantly, blood flowed out.
There was anger in his eyes: "Shen Yizhi, don't think that others are as dirty as you, with the same disregard for propriety, justice and integrity, and the same inability to control themselves!"
Shen Yizhi remained unmoved.
His groggy mind remained strangely awake at this time, and he could only strangely capture a few thoughts at this time.
In the entire Shengjing, there were only three places she could go late at night.
royal palace.
But she came out after the emperor's birthday.
Princess Mansion.
He stayed here all night last night, but she didn't come back at all.
The last place was one that she could not possibly go to last night - Pingnan Hou Mansion.
She didn't go to any of the three places, and it was clear where she went last night - she went to a wild man's house!
And the name of that wild man is about to come out——
"The princess is talking about him again." Shen Yizhi was very persistent.
He raised his eyes and looked at Leng Lanzhi, his eyes as deep and sharp as a sword, as if he wanted to see a hole in her body: "You and I have been married for six years, and we are not allowed to get close to each other due to various reasons. This time I returned to Beijing to report on my duties, but the princess... You closed the courtyard door tightly and never let me get close, why is that?"
"The princess ignored the objections of her ministers and insisted on getting married. After her long-cherished wish came true, did she regret it? Did there appear other young talents in the capital, who favored the princess so much that she never returned home? Did the princess originally He insisted on moving out of Pingnanhou Mansion just to facilitate a private meeting with him——"
Snapped!
Another tea cup was thrown out, but this time it missed the target and fell directly to the ground, breaking into countless pieces.
Leng Lan got out of the car.
As soon as she got out of the car, she suppressed her anger and looked at the face that made her sick indifferently.
At this time, the housekeeper from the mansion ran out and whispered something into Leng Lanzhi's ear.
Leng Lanzhi glanced at Shen Yi with some surprise, his eyes even more cold.
He actually stood outside the princess's house last night because of the outer room?
"You want to settle matters with me? Well, I happen to want to settle matters with you too."
"First tell me, you leave the Princess Mansion early every day under the pretext of going to work and want to wait until everyone in the mansion has rested before coming back. Yesterday you were not at the Pingnan Marquis Mansion to accompany your mother-in-law. What are you doing waiting outside the princess's house all night?"
Shen Yizhi was speechless, but in a flash, he said in a deep voice: "I have moved to the Princess Mansion a few days ago. The Princess Mansion is my home..."
"Speaking of this, don't you feel disgusted?" Leng Lanzhi interrupted him: "You are here just because I took away your precious wife! I imprisoned her in the princess mansion! Therefore, the princess has been kept This is why you came here uncharacteristically because the mansion is like a cage! Even if the people in the mansion don't let you in, you won't leave! Because you are worried about your outer room and that I will treat her harshly!"
"No -" Shen Yizhi naturally couldn't admit it in front of so many people watching.
Leng Lanzhi smiled half-heartedly: "No? That's good -"
She looked at the housekeeper and said, "The outer concubine Yu is disrespectful to the princess of the dynasty, her words and deeds are shameless, and she allows an ignorant child to contradict the princess of the dynasty - according to the law, she will be beaten to death with a stick."
"No!" Shen Yizhi's expression changed drastically.
His head, which was already sore, hurt even more now.
He understood better than anyone else that the princess had not dealt with Yu Wan'er before, not because she accepted this extramarital affair, but because he had taken precautions early on and his people took action immediately after the incident.
The people sympathized with his love for Yu Waner, and the royal family was concerned about popularity, so Yu Waner could save her life.
But if Leng Lan was so angry that he ignored it, what big deal would it be for the dignified princess to dispose of an outer chamber?
Reason told him that it was best to abandon Yu Wan'er. If he admitted his mistake again, he would be able to whitewash the peace. He would still be the prince consort of the dynasty and be able to keep the honor of the Pingnan Marquis Mansion.
But, he can't do it!
Jiaoer gave birth to a son for him after leaving the gate of hell early in the morning. He was a great contributor to the Hou family. How could he just watch and die?
Thinking of this, his eyes became serious.
If you want to save Jiaoer, there is only one way right now——
Keep taking advantage of public opinion!
Although it will disgrace the princess, but...
The princess only lost face, but if he didn't do this, Jiaoer would lose her life.
His eyes were determined, and he suddenly lifted up his clothes and knelt on the ground humbly: "Princess, I know you still hate me and Wan'er, but I had no choice but to do this back then. I had clearly declined you many times back then. This time, you said you didn’t mind everything about me and even asked the emperor to give you an imperial edict——"
Similar news had already been circulated once when Yu Waner's identity as an illegitimate child and Shen Linan's identity as an illegitimate child were revealed.
But, last time it was a rumor.
This time, it came from the mouth of the person involved.
Shen Yizhi burst into tears silently, but cried blood every word.
In his words, Leng Lanzhi six years ago was an inexperienced, innocent, and love-crazed little princess who didn't care about his origins, nor did he care that he already had a sweetheart.
She fell in love with a person, and ignored that person's wishes. She even did not hesitate to force the Holy Father to issue a decree for marriage, in order to force that person to accept her.
In the eyes of the people around her, she has become the female bully who robs men.
And Shen Yizhi and his wife were victims of her persecution and had to change from legitimate lovers to shady underground lovers.
How lamentable!
Leng Lanzhi thought she would be angry, but unexpectedly she wasn't.
She is very calm now.
Looking down at the man who looked miserable, like a tragic male character in a storybook, she clapped her hands.
Snap.
Snap, snap, snap.
"Shen Yizhi, I actually don't want to tear off your face and put it on the ground to trample on. However, you have completely squandered my goodwill. In this case, you can't blame me for not saving your face. .”
Shen Yizhi was instinctively shocked.
What did she mean?
Does she have any back-up plan?
Or does she know all those things back then?
impossible!
What he did was so secretive, and the person who knew about it left Beijing so fast that he died. There is no way there is anyone who knows about it——
Leng Lanzhi looked at his face that was changing like a palette, and her red lips curled slightly: "Bring the person up."
