His Highness never caressed the harp before, but after arriving in Beidi, because he wanted to show off his identity as a married princess and keep that secret, he could no longer touch the sword——
The Beidi Khan, the members of the Beidi royal family, and even the entire Beidi generals and people did not really treat His Highness well just because she was the grand and aloof eldest princess - even because they knew that Her Highness Princess Chongyue was related to "the First Princess".
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince" is a twin brother and sister, and all the hatred and humiliation they suffered on the battlefield in the past have been transferred to His Royal Highness the Eldest Princess...
The eyes they looked at His Highness were always filled with hatred, coldness and ridicule.
His Highness once said that perhaps this was the reason why Beidi asked her to come and get married.
This marriage was full of revenge and humiliation from beginning to end.
The former prince is deceased, so he will take revenge on his twin sister who is said to be exactly the same as him——
The experiences of those three years were as painful as a nightmare for an ordinary woman, let alone His Highness, who was omnipotent and indestructible on the battlefield in the past. For His Highness, such an experience must be worse than the most severe suffering on the battlefield.
The injury is even more painful a hundred times a thousand times a thousand times...
But Your Highness has clearly known Beidi’s intentions and intentions for a long time, and has expected all this... Why does Your Highness still dare to go, why does Your Highness still go, Your Highness should not marry Beidi at all!
Your Highness is not the eldest princess who is weak and unable to take care of herself in the eyes of the courtiers. If Your Highness wants to resist, they will not be able to force Him at all!
Tears rolled out of Yuchi's eyes, and the tears were mixed with the rain. Many old scenes reappeared in front of her eyes. She seemed to see His Highness covered in injuries, silent and sitting in front of the window with his back to her, looking at the moon. His Highness, who used to be free and easy, became
More and more silent.
Later, His Highness began to play the harp. The sound of the harp sounded like the soldiers wanted to die on the battlefield but could not. On the plucked strings, there was a desire to return to their homeland, which was gradually burned to ashes and extinguished by the wind...
Only His Highness can play this piano sound!
Sure enough, His Highness is back...
Yuchi staggered and ran around in the bamboo forest. She was afraid and retreated, but she could not refuse the guidance of the piano sound that had appeared in her dreams countless times.
She couldn't even tell whether she was in a dream or somewhere.
She stumbled to a wooden house at the end of the bamboo forest.
The sound of the piano came from this wooden house...
It was pitch dark in the bamboo forest, with muffled thunder rolling from time to time. There was no light in the wooden house, but the door of the wooden house was wide open——
Yuchi, who was covered in mud and water, took a few steps forward and fixed his gaze on the wooden house, his expression suddenly shocked.
Inside the house, there was a woman dressed in white, playing the piano and sitting with her hair down. The woman was dressed in white and had an extraordinarily fair complexion, which seemed to create a layer of light lingering around her in the darkness.
Her face was covered with a white veil, and apart from that, there was no other ornament on her body.
The sound of the piano, which sounded like thousands of troops fighting against each other, flowed out from under his fingertips.
Jade Chips in the Rain's eyes widened and he opened his mouth, but couldn't make a complete sound for a long time.
For a moment, she stood in a daze outside the wooden house, looking at the woman's figure vaguely looming in the darkness.
Until the end of the song, the sound of the piano disappears.
The woman playing the piano seemed to raise her eyes and look at her——
"Yu Chen, you're here."
The voice was gentle and quiet, but it gave off a strange and ethereal feeling on this rainy night.
There was no trace of blood on Jade Chip's face anymore. She stepped forward tremblingly, crossed the threshold of the wooden house, and knelt down.
"...Your Highness! It's your maid, it's your maid who's here!"
Looking at the former female envoy who was kneeling on the ground in fear and humility, there was no trace of emotion on Chang Sui Ning's face.
Obviously, she is "pretending" to be Li Shang.
In the past, because she needed to pretend to be Axiao, she had specially learned how to change her voice, expression, behavior, and handwriting. Once these skills were used familiarly, she became a master.
She is good at imitating others, and she happens to be the person who is most familiar with Li Shang in the world. She "learned" the other person's tone of voice and movements, and then used this dark, noisy and rainy night as a cover-up. At first glance, she should be able to get five or six points.
resemblance.
Half of the remaining four to five points are due to the music that only Li Shang could play in the past, and half are due to Yuchi's chaotic mind and the deepest fear in his heart——
Judging from Yuchi's reaction at this time, her plan to "confuse the real with the fake" should be successful.
Now that everything goes well, you can ask questions.
"Why poison the tea?"
On this rainy night, she seemed like a human, a ghost, and a ghost in a dream. There was no need for any foreshadowing or embellishment when asking questions.
Yuchi, who was kneeling on the ground and did not dare to raise his head, stiffened when he heard this, and his eyes swelled violently.
Your Highness... His Highness really knew it, and he really came to ask her to accuse her!
"I'm asking you something-"
The voice that was so gentle that there was no fluctuation sounded again from above, and it felt particularly oppressive in Yuchi's ears, making her unable to breathe, as if her heartbeat had stopped.
"My maid... My maid didn't know that it was poison!" When talking about old things, her voice trembled and fluctuated with excitement, and her words were also a bit confusing——
"That's right, that's what they gave to the servant. They said that the dose of the medicine is so light that it is not easy to detect. After His Highness takes it, he will gradually lose strength within half an hour, and it will never hurt His Highness..."
"At that time, my maid can work with them to rescue His Highness!"
"My maid left Beidi to save His Highness, and she has no intention of harming His Highness!"
"They deceived my servant!"
She was almost crying: "My servant has followed His Highness since childhood. How could I harm His Highness? How could my servant..."
"Save me from Beidi?" The gentle voice asked: "If you are saving me, why do you need to drug me?"
"They said that Your Highness is upright and will not agree to escape secretly before the war... If we want to save His Highness, we can only drug His Highness's tea first, wait for Your Highness to fall into coma, and then secretly leave with Your Highness... They will arrange it then
People will come to help you!"
Chang Sui Ning just thought it was ridiculous.
"Why wouldn't I agree to escape before the war? I am not the commander of this battle, I am just a hostage. If there is a chance to leave, why should I sit back and wait for death?" There was a hint of sarcasm in her voice: "You are both
After following me for many years, in your eyes, am I such a mindless person who blindly wants to die?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Yuchi kept shaking his head: "There are many Beidi soldiers outside His Highness's tent. They are staring at His Highness all the time. The maid is really worried about His Highness's safety. It's the maid
Son...it’s my servant who is anxious and confused!”
She said again: "My maid really didn't know it was poison. The letter only said it was to save His Highness... He deceived my maid!"
Chang Sui Ning laughed coldly in his heart and asked: "Are they the accompanying officials you mentioned?"
She and her relatives, Beidi, were naturally accompanied by Dasheng officials.
"...it's Wu Xi, the eunuch who is accompanying the consul!" Yuchi said: "The letter and the medicine... were all given to the maidservant secretly by him!"
"Letter——" Chang Suining looked at her: "Who wrote it?"
"Yes..." There was crying and hatred in Yuchi's tone, and the answer he gave was not what Chang Suining expected -
"It's Yu Zeng!"
Chang Suining's expression was slightly sluggish.
"The consul and eunuch Wu Xi had a long-standing friendship with him. The letter was written by Yu Zeng himself. My maid recognized his handwriting!" Yuchi cried, "He deceived my maid!"
Chang Suining was silent for a moment.
When he spoke again, his voice was still calm: "Besides that personal letter, are there any other tokens?"
"There is also his private seal on the letter! It is the one given to him by His Highness. He used to use that private seal to convey messages to His Highness!"
Under the snow-white broad sleeves, Chang Sui Ning slightly curled up his fingers.
Azeng acted cautiously. It is said that the private seal would not fall into the hands of others...
"Is Xin still there?" she asked.
Yuchi shook his head: "The servant didn't dare to stay, so he burned it after reading it, but the servant could see clearly that it was his handwriting..."
"Have you ever seen him again since you returned to Beijing?" Chang Suining asked again, "Have you ever confirmed or confronted him about this matter in person?"
This point is very important, more critical than that letter.
Yuchi shook his head again: "On the day when His Highness was in trouble... the maid escaped, but later he did not wait for the person mentioned in his letter to take care of him. The person who saved the maid at the critical moment was actually the person arranged by His Highness..."
When she said this, tears fell gurglingly: "I knew then that he had lied to me... That medicine was not meant to save His Highness, but to kill His Highness!"
"Someone doesn't want His Highness to return to Dasheng alive!"
"What happened after that... I have no memory of what happened... I was afraid of being silenced and afraid that this secret would never be revealed again, so I never dared to leave the eldest princess's mansion!"
Chang Suining: "So you have never seen him again——"
Yuchi said: "I have seen it. I have met you once. He and the saint came to see you together. He is working for the newly enthroned saint! That is His Highness's queen mother... In front of that saint,
He didn't dare to show anything strange! My servant didn't dare to talk to him alone!"
"It's him who deceived your servant, it's him!" Yuchi repeated firmly and even stubbornly: "He betrayed His Highness!"
"It's best for him." Chang Suining looked at her, "Both you and him have been following me since childhood. Only if he betrayed the master first, you will be a little less cautious in the face of your own betrayal.
It gives you peace of mind, right?"
That's why she kept repeating over and over again that Yu Zeng had lied to her.
Yuchi raised his head in panic: "No, that's not the case, Your Highness..."
"Why not?" Chang Sui Ning lowered his eyes and looked at her, "Do you really have no idea whether the statement in the letter about rescuing me from Beidi is foolproof?"
"You took it upon yourself to 'drown' me out and save me from Beidi. What made you have such an stupid idea?"
"On the contrary, you have determined that it is impossible for me to leave Beidi alive. You think that if you stay with me, you will only die."
Chang Sui Ning said: "So, you are betting on this lucky chance. If you lose the bet, you will die anyway. If you win the bet, maybe you can get a chance of survival -"
Yuchan kept shaking her head and crying in denial.
However, the voice continued: "In other words, even if you have thought about the possibility that the medicine is poison, you will still do it - after all, if I die, at least the Beidi soldiers guarding me will withdraw, and without those unbreakable
As a guard, you have a little more chance of escaping in the chaos, which is better than having to wait for death by my side. No matter how you calculate this, it won't be a loss, right?"
"Your Highness... I don't think so, I don't!" Yuchi cried and knocked her head heavily on the ground, her body heaving with the cry.
A wind with raindrops poured into the house, seeming to make the voice above the voice fainter: "It is not wrong for you to seek survival, but betrayal is betrayal, so why should you deceive yourself anymore."
The words "self-deception" fell into Yuchi's ears, causing her whole body to become cold for an instant, as if her blood had been frozen.
This bone-chilling coldness reminded her uncontrollably of her many struggles at that time, as well as those thoughts that she had not acknowledged and faced.
The white figure slowly stood up from behind the piano, as if he had no intention of saying anything more.
Jade Chip straightened his upper body with support and raised his head in confusion.
In the darkness, her eyes were blurred by tears, and she could not clearly see the true face of the woman with the veil on her face. Looking up from here, she could only see the white clothes and black hair.
But even so, she could still be extremely certain that it was her Highness.
She stretched out her hand and grabbed the corner of the white clothes, as if grabbing the bloody knot of her heart. The pain was so painful that she couldn't stop crying——
"Your Highness, it was my maid who was wrong..." She raised her head and finally said, "My maid regrets it every day."
But she didn't dare to admit that she was wrong or regretful. Admitting these would be equivalent to admitting betrayal.
If it was just an ordinary betrayal, if everything had been done and the determination had been made back then, there would be nothing that could not be faced directly, but, but...
Tears of regret welled up in Yuchi's eyes.
However, that day, His Highness finished drinking the cup of tea and put her away.
Later, she heard that His Highness had beheaded the Beidi coach and committed suicide.
His Highness is dead...died in that way!
She was at a loss and her thoughts were still stuck in her previous plan, so she took advantage of the chaos to escape, with the pursuers approaching behind her. When she was on the verge of despair, she unexpectedly waited for the person arranged by His Highness...
His Highness tried his best to arrange everything for her. His Highness had long been prepared to die alone!
At that moment, she was saved.
But at the same time, she can no longer get any redemption.
She was even in a trance... What did she do?
What did she do to His Highness like that!
Her Highness committed suicide, His Highness rescued her, and died so awe-inspiring. His Highness cared about the greatness of the whole family and the country, but he still cared for her, a mere piece of grass. Her betrayal was no longer an ordinary betrayal.
It was a monstrous betrayal that she herself could not forgive or even face.
She committed a heinous crime, which will make her live in self-judgment every day.
She couldn't bear this knowledge, so she went crazy, which was a kind of escape from self-collapse.
Therefore, the only thing in her mind was that he lied to me.
But at this moment, the long-collapsed fragments seemed to be put back together bit by bit. She was facing all this, and she had never been so clear-headed.
She clutched the corner of her white clothes tightly, shedding tears in a daze. Her voice was low and choked: "Your Highness, I know I was wrong. Can you forgive me?"
The woman in white looked down at her, her hazy eyebrows seemed to be younger than the His Highness in her memory, but that was her Highness.
