"What's your purpose in tying me here tonight? It's already so late. If I haven't gone back yet, Lord Pure will definitely ask me. How will you explain to Lord Pure then?"
Chu Xin was a little anxious and felt that something was wrong. She had no enmity with Roumei. It couldn't be for her, so it could only be for the pure noble.
The soft and beautiful woman didn't speak, but just looked at the screen. Chu Xin followed her gaze and heard some footsteps, and someone came out from behind the screen.
It was Yuan Heng who was followed by Ning Guiren. Sure enough, all this was premeditated.
"Your Majesty, what Guiren Ning said is true. She didn't refute when she mentioned this jade pendant just now, which shows that she is indeed the princess of Chu. How could she, a princess, willingly stay in Nanliang as a slave? ? There must be something up his sleeve!"
The soft and beautiful woman stepped forward to salute, and her words were as exaggerated as they were serious.
Ning Guiren stood beside Yuan Heng, holding his arm, smiling slightly, very satisfied with everything tonight, and glanced at Roumei casually, and their eyes met for a moment.
"Is this just why you invited me here tonight?"
Yuan Heng's reaction was very dull, which actually surprised Ning Guiren.
"Your Majesty, this person's identity has been acquiesced. Why didn't Your Majesty question Chun Gui? Or perhaps Chun Gui had already known that he was deliberately shielding her? Who knows what kind of conspiracy the master and servant have!"
Ning Guiren was a little anxious. Why did His Majesty still look so calm about such an important matter? Aren't you surprised at all?
She was shocked when she heard the news. How could a slave who serves others have such a noble status?
How could a princess be willing to be a slave? There must be a conspiracy!
"What happened tonight has something to do with you?"
Yuan Heng turned his head slightly and looked into Ning Guiren's eyes. He could clearly see the panic in his eyes and couldn't help but feel disappointed again.
It seems that Ning Guiren has not changed at all. After all, he still has the same jealous temper.
"Your Majesty, everything I have done is for Your Majesty. Why did the noble nobleman keep such an inexplicable woman by his side? Why didn't you interrogate him first? Or did you insist on protecting her like this?"
Ning Guiren became excited and knelt heavily on the ground as he spoke.
"Everything I do is for your majesty's safety. How can a princess of Chu be willing to be a slave? Since she came to Chunguiren, she has played so many tricks on me. She is definitely a dangerous person!"
"Get up."
Yuan Heng was still a little unmoved, but he helped Ning Guiren up with his own hands.
"I understand, let her go. I don't want today's incident to be spread. I will treat it as if it never happened. Since she is already a pure noble, you two should not arbitrarily advocate for her to be tied up." Come here, I'm tired."
After Yuan Heng finished speaking, he left with such determination. It seemed that he was hit again by this incident.
His soft heart seems to have fallen into other people's calculations.
"His Majesty?"
Ning Guiren looked at Yuan Heng's leaving figure in disbelief. He never thought that tonight's events would be taken over so lightly. What on earth is this?
"Why did Your Majesty just leave like this? Does he really not care about Chu Xin's identity at all? Or is he pretending to be ignorant just to protect the pure nobles?"
Obviously, Ning Guiren felt that the second possibility was more likely. She turned her head and looked at Chu Xin fiercely.
"You really have a good master!"
Obviously, she thinks that the preferential treatment Chu Xin received tonight is because Her Majesty Chungui loves Wujiwu and likes Chungui, so she will naturally let her favorite slave go.
When Chu Xin was put back, Chun Gui and He Xiang were still awake and waiting for her in the room.
"What happened tonight? His Majesty just sent a message, saying that you would come back later and asked me to wait for you in the house. Can you tell me what happened?"
As soon as he saw Chu Xin coming back, Chun Guiren hurriedly ran over and held her arm, asking anxiously.
Chu Xin then told everything about what had just happened. It was obvious that only Roumei had seen the jade pendant, and she must have told the matter in order to please Ning Gui.
And Ning Guiren thought that he had the handle on Chun Guiren, so he anxiously found Yuan Heng, but he never thought that he had already known his identity, which was nothing at all.
"It's no wonder that Roumei rarely comes to say hello these days. It turns out that she has been on Ning Guiren's side for a long time!"
Chungui gritted his teeth angrily. No one in the palace knew that Xin'er was his favorite person. If he arrested the people around him, wouldn't he be slapping her in the face?
"But His Majesty said that tonight's matter should not be a big deal. I believe that the two of them will not dare to make their own decisions anymore."
Chu Xin consoled him, what happened tonight was that his cleverness was mistaken for his cleverness. I guess Ning Guiren's image in Yuan Heng's heart has fallen to the bottom in an instant, right?
She knew what kind of person Yuan Heng was, and sincerity had to be exchanged with sincerity. If it was mixed with some calculations, it would be really useless.
Ning Guiren did indeed do something wrong tonight. The same method can be used once, but cannot be used a second time. I don't know what method can be used to redeem it next time?
"Xin'er, luckily you're fine tonight. If something really happened to you, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to sleep well."
Chun Guiren's worried eyes were already wet. She knew how worried she was after waiting for this period of time, and her heart was in a state of anxiety.
Chu Xin, who was originally baffled, had not returned for a long time and wanted to send someone out to look for it.
However, His Majesty sent someone to report it. Once he heard that this matter was related to Ning Guiren, he realized that it was probably for him.
"I know that Ning Guiren and the others kidnapped you all because of me, and it really made you suffer. But what does the plum jade pendant mean? Xin'er, is there anything else you are hiding from me?"
Chun Guiren waved his hand and asked He Xiang to retreat, pulled Chu Xin to sit down and asked softly.
This matter must not be that simple, and it must not be an ordinary trivial matter. Otherwise, why would Ning Gui and Roumei have such a big fight? Even His Majesty would know.
At this point, Chu Xin didn't want to hide it anymore, so she told Chun Guiren the jade pendant and her identity. In fact, it was nothing at all.
Anyway, she is just an unpopular princess in the Chu Kingdom, and she has no relatives there.
If she was really important, wouldn't someone have made the decision for her when the news about Beiqi came back? She would have been left to die silently.
"So it's like this. No wonder I always feel that you don't look like an ordinary slave. It turns out that you are the princess of Chu."
The pure nobleman didn't have much of a reaction, but seemed to be expecting it.
Because she had always felt that Chu Xin was not a slave in an ordinary palace. She naturally had a different temperament and knew a lot. This was simply not what a slave could do.
It turns out that she was once a princess of the Chu Kingdom. Could it be that she was the same princess who married Chu Yi, the direct princess of the Chu Kingdom, and went to Northern Qi?
"You just said your name is Chu Xin, is it the concubine of King Xiang of the Northern Qi Dynasty?"
Chun Guiren vaguely remembered it. She had heard about this matter, but it was several years ago, so she didn't take it to heart, not to mention that it was a matter in another country.
But he didn't expect that the princess of Chu State who was beside King Xiang would now come to him and become his favorite person.
"I believe that the nobles also know many things, so your majesty has actually known my identity for a long time, so what noble Ning and Roumei did tonight is nothing to your majesty."
Chu Xin smiled and said, "Sometimes I have met His Majesty a few times, and he even helped me. So when your nobleman asked me to take care of His Majesty, I can talk to him."
"I see."
Chun Guiren smiled understandingly. At that time, I was still confused as to why Chu Xin seemed to be able to speak when he went to take care of His Majesty.
I originally thought that His Majesty had some differences with Chu Xin, but I didn't expect that he had met her when he was young.
"Ning Guiren and Roumei are smart but they are fooled by their cleverness. Your Majesty doesn't like conspiracy and calculation. My lord, do you think Ning Guiren can think of any other ways to compete for favor? The bitter flesh trick can be used the first time, is it possible that it can be used the second time? ?"
This is similar to what Chu Xin thought. Ning Guiren never wanted to be what she thought in her heart. She just liked to play tricks and be clever.
The bitter meat trick can make Yuan Heng feel distressed the first time, but it would be quite boring if it is used the second time.
"Xin'er, as long as you are okay tonight, as long as you are safe and sound, as for the two of them, they are nothing at all. No matter what they do, I won't be afraid."
In fact, Chun Guiren is still a little scared, afraid that Ning Guiren will really do something to Chu Xin. These jealousy things are nothing compared with Chu Xin's safety.
To be honest, Chu Xin was very moved when she heard these words, and she could only lament that she had not misjudged the person.
When Ning Guiren went back, he was still confused and didn't understand why things were not as he imagined.
Isn't the identity of the Princess of Chu a big deal? Can a person from another country be tolerated to stay here? Does Your Majesty really not care at all?
Or is it that in order to protect the noble nobleman, he would rather suppress this news or tolerate this?
"How on earth did that bitch confuse His Majesty? His Majesty must protect her in everything? Why exactly?"
After returning to her palace, Ning Guiren was so angry that she gritted her teeth. Could it be that all the preparations for tonight were in vain? She had spent a lot of effort to invite His Majesty there!
"I don't know why things are like this, and I don't understand why Your Majesty doesn't care at all. Or maybe Chunguiren doesn't know Chu Xin's identity? Your Majesty is kind and kind, maybe he can't bear to blame Chunguiren?"
Jinxiu lowered her head, only thinking that there were a few possibilities.
Your Majesty has always been very kind and tolerant to the people in the palace.
"enough!"
This is exactly what Ning Guiren least wants to hear, and least wants to believe in this possibility.
Your Majesty is indeed soft-hearted, not only towards yourself, but also towards other women.
Why would it be fine if His Majesty was only gentle to her? Why does there always have to be other people?
"After tonight, Roumei has been completely exposed. I don't think even Pure Noble will believe her."
