Thinking of what her sister had said to her, whether explicitly or implicitly, it indicated that her aunt was actually untrustworthy, and that her sister had already noticed her aunt's duplicity. Thinking of the haggard state her sister was in before her death, holding her hand and giving instructions over and over again, His Highness felt heartbroken. If she had taken her sister's words seriously earlier, she probably wouldn't have had so many troubles.
It's a pity that she can't start her life over again, and she can't regret it. She has already reached this point, so she can only bite the bullet and rush forward. Fortunately, there are still people around her who can help.
Sensing the emotion of the person next to her, Ah Piao turned around slightly, tilted her head and glanced at the young highness. Seeing the expression on her face, she reached out and patted her arm gently to stop her from feeling uncomfortable.
"Don't worry, I'm fine, I'm just a little emotional." His Highness smiled bitterly, pulled a cushion and rubbed it against Ah Piao, "Sister has been reminding me that my aunt is not trustworthy. She The grudges and grudges of the previous generation should be investigated clearly, but she still doesn’t understand why her aunt plotted against the two sisters. I’m afraid only my aunt knows about such a thing. "
"Yes, aunt is very thoughtful. What she shows is what she wants us to see. What is hidden in her heart, we will never be able to touch."
"As I said again, if I had believed in my sister, I wouldn't have had so many troubles and wouldn't have suffered so much. I thought at the time that my sister was too seriously ill, so no one could It's not pleasing to the eye, and everyone is suspicious of me. It's the feeling that all the people in the world are trying to harm me, do you understand?" Her Highness looked at the three people around her with a wry smile. When she saw them nodding, she spread her hands, " So, I thought she was born because of illness, so I didn’t care too much. After all, in my opinion at the time, although my aunt had problems of one kind or another, she might have her own selfish motives and purposes, but she wouldn’t do it just for this. External possessions and a little false reputation will kill us."
"His Highness was once so naive, which I never thought about." Hei Lu'er joked, "However, who doesn't underestimate aunt's ability? She can use her own feelings as a cover to deceive everyone. Hooking up with the scum of the Wanyan family, this kind of courage, this kind of responsibility..." He curled his lips, "Most people really can't do it!"
"Okay, just say a few words. I don't think His Highness is feeling well!" A Piao rolled her eyes at Hei Lu'er several times, glanced at His Highness, put down the pen in her hand, stood up, and said: She poured a cup of tea and handed it over, "Drink some tea."
"There is nothing wrong with what he said. He is indeed quite innocent." His Highness took a sip of tea and looked at Hei Lu'er, "How many times have you seen them meeting?"
"Actually, they haven't seen each other a few times, that is... two or three times." Hei Lu'er raised an eyebrow at A Piao, "The intervals between these two and three times are relatively long. According to the news from my brothers, every time There are almost two or three months between each meeting. The length of each meeting..." He thought for a moment, "Is it the time for a meal? Sometimes, it is as short as a cup of tea. They are not frequent. The meeting and meeting time were not long enough, so the brothers didn't care. Moreover, they always made appointments at the teahouse, and my aunt was good at tea, so I felt that they should be tea friends, and every time they met, my aunt would have more in her hands. There are many small jars of tea leaves. Not only that, on the second day of the meeting, there will be a lot of tea leaves sent directly to the palace. Our people have quietly checked every time the tea leaves are delivered, and they are all tea leaves. It’s not mixed with other things, which is one of the reasons why we didn’t pay attention.”
"This was specially performed for us." His Highness twitched his lips, "They have already exchanged what they need to exchange in the teahouse, there is no need to tamper with the tea leaves anymore."
"Your Highness is right, it is indeed the case."
"How did you say you bumped into her at Brother Wang's place? When was it?"
"It should have been three or four months before the prince plotted a rebellion. I bumped into her near the palace. Her expression was gloomy, as if she was about to make a major decision. When I saw her, I hid in time. On the side, she didn't see me, or she didn't notice me or the people around her at all, because she was in a trance when she was going home. A car almost hit her, and she There was no reaction at all. If she had left it alone, she would have already gotten angry."
"If you say that, it's quite abnormal."
"The eyeliner arranged in the palace, according to your instructions, has been keeping an eye on my aunt since she returned to the palace, but it turned out that she didn't sleep all night." Hei Lu'er sighed, "The whole person is very anxious, all the time Walking around in the room. From this, we can infer that her cooperation with the prince was not in-depth before, and she never thought that the prince was so courageous that he actually dared to rebel. Therefore, the prince proposed to talk to When she cooperated further, she hesitated. As for why she agreed later, I don’t know.”
"It seems so." His Highness nodded, "It's quite difficult for her to make such a decision."
"However, it may also be because of feelings." Seeing the doubtful looks in several people's eyes, Hei Lu'er tugged at the corner of his mouth, "Because she just had a quarrel with Qi Kuzhe, and the two of them had a rather unpleasant quarrel. This was the reason for the two of them. This was the first time we had a fight since we met, and it was so serious that my aunt even overturned the table."
"Wow, are you so powerful?" His Highness and Ah Piao exchanged a look, "Why did they quarrel? Weren't they always harmonious before? Why was it so tense?"
"Well...actually, it's no wonder that my aunt lost her temper. It's indeed Qikuzhe's problem. If it were me, I would also fall out." Hei Lu'er sighed, "Although Qikuzhe is the head of the Qiku family, the family There are also elders. I heard that Qi Kuzhe wanted to marry his aunt, but the elders didn’t agree very much. They didn’t agree very much. Qi Kuzhe was in a dilemma, but he didn’t know how to solve it, so he kept putting it off until he couldn’t hold it off any longer.”
"Is it because of my relationship, or..."
"I didn't know the situation of the Qiku family before. I felt that people from a scholarly family like them would be very reluctant to interact with relatives, which would tarnish their noble reputation. But now that I think about it..."
"It should be for the sake of His Highness, so as not to expose the true face of the Qiku family." A Piao thought for a while, then added Hei Lu'er's words, "If aunt really becomes the mistress of the Qiku family, you will train behind her back. We can no longer hide this spy thing. When the time comes, it will be you who Auntie will attack. So..." She sighed and shrugged towards His Highness, "In addition to cutting off this relationship, , and there is no second option.”
