The maid who cowered at the entrance of Huike Hall last time and was scolded by Zheng Xiaohan was none other than Wan Jia, Shao Kefan's junior sister, who possesses special skills.
Every prince and princess in Cangteng is taught martial arts by a specialized teacher. Shao Kefan has been exposed to martial arts since he was three years old and was taught by swordsman Wu Zheng.
The Lord was later invited by Queen Cang Teng to teach the eldest prince martial arts in Cang Teng. He taught him martial arts for twenty years. After the eldest prince acquired good martial arts skills, he left the palace and wandered without a trace. Later, he took in another thief.
The disciple is Wan Jia.
Three months ago, Wanjia went to Cang Teng Palace in person, met with her senior brother, and asked to do something for him. Shao Kefan was slightly surprised and then his expression calmed down. Considering that she had hardly appeared before, he sent her to Eagle as a maidservant.
Monitor Zheng Xiaohan.
From the secret letter from the senior brother, she learned that Zheng Xiaohan had personally aborted the fetus in her belly, but why she was not called to serve. Confused, Wanjia took the initiative to go to Huike Hall, but was kicked out again.
.
With Zheng Xiaohan's arrogant character, how could he do everything with his own hands? There must be something shady in Huike Palace, Wanjia thought to herself and made up her mind.
In the evening, the maids who asked Zheng Xiaohan to have a meal were sent away unceremoniously, and they were still only ordered to bring ten dishes to Huike Hall.
Each of the five maids held a tray, walked through the winding gravel path, and walked toward Huike Hall. However, there was a slight look of worry on their faces, which was different from their slow and unhurried steps.
Very harmonious.
There are two dishes on each plate, namely braised fresh mushrooms in oil, lotus seed porridge, spicy beef, golden shaomai, phoenix tail wings, goldfish and duck feet, glazed pearls, golden cakes, pheasant chicken, swallow tail peach blossoms
, served on a flat porcelain plate inlaid with jade, with steam rising above the porcelain plate, curling up, and the aroma along the way makes people salivate.
"Let me do it." Wan Jia stopped the maid who was walking at the back. In the Eagle Palace, she had always been dressed as a maid, but her appearance was charming, far inferior to other maids.
With a free and easy temperament.
As if she had found a savior, the maid thrust the dish into Wan Jia's hand and hurried away.
When they arrived at Huike Hall, Zheng Xiaohan was not seen in the hall, but the door was completely open. Several maids looked inside and did not dare to go in rashly. They knelt down at the door and said, "Your Majesty, the meal has been delivered."
After a while, Zheng Xiaohan walked out of the dormitory, with a slightly impatient look on his face. He glanced sharply, and the heads of the maids who did not raise their heads lowered, as if the gaze was fixed on their bodies, preventing them from moving at all.
Wanjia quickly raised her head,
If you pay careful attention, you can find that Zheng Xiaohan's hair was deliberately smoothed with his hands when it was messy, and there are two light red marks on his white and tender neck, which are gradually disappearing, and the belt of his clothes is not as naturally tied as usual.
, the elasticity is moderate, but it is tied tightly, and the technique of the flower knot is also a bit stiff.
Could it be that... there is a man in Zheng Xiaohan's room...
Did the maid who served Zheng Xiaohan before her disappear for no reason because she noticed something?
She suddenly realized that the reason why Zheng Xiaohan was pregnant must be because she had a sweetheart. Otherwise, who could do anything to get her? What was hidden in that room might be hers...
However, the senior brother only told her that Zheng Xiaohan was pregnant, but said nothing to the man. What was his purpose?
"What are you looking at?" Seeing the timid maid serving her looking up at her brazenly, Zheng Xiaohan lowered her face and felt a little surprised at the same time.
Wanjia quickly lowered her head and said, "I haven't seen the king for ten days. A'lu is very worried about me. I was rude for a moment. I hope the king will forgive me."
Zheng Xiaohan snorted and softened his tone a little, "It's a good idea of you to bring all the meals in." As he said this, he sucked his hand back, and white light stretched out from the palm of his hand like a bolt, and a long table came hurriedly from the side of the hall.
Sliding into the hall, however, his feet seemed to be not even close to the ground, and there was no sound of friction.
The dishes were placed on the table one after another. Knowing the monarch's habits well, after doing what they should do, the few maids did not dare to stay and left in a hurry. Wan Jia's eyes glanced at the gorgeous brocade curtain in the bedroom.
He also followed out the door.
The five people walked through the courtyard filled with thousands of flowers and walked to the gate of the dark red hibiscus wood fence. They were about to turn towards the dining room. Suddenly, they heard a loud "bang", as if they were being pulled by something, and the door of Huike Hall quickly closed.
superior.
The remaining four maids trembled and quickened their pace.
Wan Jia stopped where she was. When those people disappeared, she gathered her breath and held her breath, turned back to the door of Huike Hall, and put her ear to the door of the hall to listen carefully.
There was a faint sound of chopsticks touching the porcelain wall inside. However, the clattering and rotating sounds did not seem like there was only one pair of chopsticks. After careful identification, it was most appropriate to say that there were two pairs.
A man's voice sounded vaguely and low, gentle and affectionate, like the murmuring of a sparrow. Zheng Xiaohan's deliberately lowered smile was as comfortable and refreshing as the breeze crossing the stream, with a lazy and contented tone.
Wanjia finally confirmed her suspicion. However, she didn't know who the man was. She was worried that Zheng Xiaohan would notice it and left quietly.
"When will you return to Cangteng?" Zheng Xiaohan suddenly asked as they were chatting and laughing.
"Is there an order to expel guests?" Ji Chen asked back, and his extremely happy expression darkened, "I serve you to death every day, and you will drive me away when you get tired of it?"
"It's not an option for you to stay here all the time. If it lasts for a long time, it will definitely arouse suspicion." Different from his attitude towards the maid, Zheng Xiaohan patiently explained the reason to him, "You have been here for twelve days, do you plan to stay here for the rest of your life?"
In the dormitory of Huike Palace, do you only know how to do that kind of thing?"
Ji Chen's face turned red, but his tone was firm, "If possible, I would rather do this."
Zheng Xiaohan sighed, "It's really worthless. After tonight, you can leave tomorrow."
"No." Ji Chen shook his head and stared at her a little aggrievedly, "You know, it's not easy for me to do this."
"That's why I let you stay for so long." Zheng Xiaohan placed his chopsticks diagonally on the porcelain plate containing the roasted pheasant, his eyes flashed with fierce light, "Ji Chen, how can you not understand the general situation? If you are
I realize that not only you will be hunted, but I am afraid that I will not be able to keep my throne."
Ji Chen lowered his head and silently put the last bite of rice and beef into his mouth, chewed slowly, with a solemn and sad expression, and finally nodded, "Okay, I'll leave tomorrow."
Zheng Xiaohan couldn't bear to face the sad gaze he met and turned his face away. However, a burst of wine aroma approached the tip of his nose, lingering like a tangled sorrow in his heart, carrying the fatal temptation of a drink of farewell.
The reluctance in her eyes moved her brows. She turned her face sideways and quickly took the wine glass from Ji Chen's hand. However, when her eyes touched his eyes, he lowered his head, as if to hide his thoughts.
Zheng Xiaohan just thought that he couldn't bear to say goodbye. He smiled bitterly and put the wine to his mouth. His lips held the rim of the cup and the tip of his tongue slowly poked out. Just when he was about to touch the surface of the wine, he seemed to feel something. His face changed drastically and he
He threw the wine glass heavily on the table and sneered, "Bai Jichen, you really can do it."
A few drops of wine splashed out and sprinkled on the clothes of the people around him.
Ji Chen raised his face in shock, with pain and a hint of relief on his face. His eyes were red and slightly moist. He stood up suddenly and shook his head feebly, "I'm sorry, the task assigned by the monarch..."
Zheng Xiaohan grabbed the wine glass and threw it to the ground, "Ha! Shao Kefan actually wants to use powder to dissolve my martial arts skills. Doesn't he know that I am an expert in using poison? No wonder, no wonder you want to stay here and don't want to do anything.
Go, do you want me to relax my guard?"
She flicked her green sleeves, stood up suddenly, her black eyes emitted a terrifying light, stared at Ji Chen and walked towards him. Ji Chen staggered back two steps, then stood still and closed his eyes, "No,
It's because I can't do it... Xiaohan, don't blame me, I serve Lord Cang Teng and I have no choice in everything."
"So you have to stay until the day you can master it, right?" Zheng Xiaohan clamped his shoulder blades with both hands, and his fingers almost dug into his flesh and penetrated his bones. "After my martial arts skills are not eliminated, I will be nothing more than a useless person.
Shao Kefan can destroy Yingzhi with just a few clicks of his fingers, you are so cruel, you are willing to watch me become a prisoner."
Ji Chen's lips twitched, "No, I... I just don't want to fail again. The task assigned by the monarch, I got nothing last time, this time, this time I don't want to fail again."
"For your little sense of accomplishment, you are willing to sacrifice me?" Zheng Xiaohan pushed hard with both hands, and the unprepared Ji Chen fell heavily to the ground. He frowned, but closed his mouth tightly and did not utter any words, and then
He sat up with difficulty against the palace pillar, raised his head, and stared at her sadly, "Xiaohan..." Zheng Xiaohan leaned down and pinched his chin with his hand, "Bai Jichen, let me ask you, I am in your mind
What kind of status is it in China?"
A wry smile appeared on Jichen's lips, "It's more important than my life."
Zheng Xiaohan was startled, but his tone was still stiff, "Why did you betray me, why did you not hesitate to hurt me?"
"Because I have sworn to be loyal to the king in this life, and my feelings for you are completely different things. Unfortunately, fate has made the two entangled..."
Zheng Xiaohan closed his eyes, sighed deeply, and uttered two words, "Get out of here."
"No." Ji Chen quickly stood up, feeling that the word "go" was like a thousand sharp swords piercing his heart. He hugged her, his chest heaving rapidly, "Xiaohan, we can't end like this.
, No, otherwise I will regret my whole life, I might as well just die."
Zheng Xiaohan stretched out her hand to push him, only to feel that her whole body had lost all strength, and her hands dropped down, as if she was extremely depressed after being betrayed, and her heart was filled with grief, "It was a mistake for us to be together, and now you betray me again, between us,
What else can be done?”
"If I were given a choice, I would definitely leave before I made up my mind, wander around the world, and never come back to Cangteng." Ji Chen lowered his head and whispered softly in her ear, "Xiaohan, please give me a chance.
"
Zheng Xiaohan opened his mouth and spit out the same two words, "Get out of here."
Ji Chen subconsciously hugged her tightly, suddenly hugged her up, and walked quickly to the bedroom, breathing heavily and saying in a deep voice, "I can't lose you, I can't lose you, I can't..."
Zheng Xiaohan stopped talking, tears fell silently, and her brain gradually became confused, as if she had fallen into a confusing dream. Danger was everywhere, and even the person she loved was ready to give her a fatal blow at any time.
What else can be believed in this world?
Ji Chen took off her clothes with trembling hands, and kissed her face, her lips, and her neck crazily, moving around in a chaotic manner, thrusting forward into her body, and crashing into her again and again, like the water splashing under a waterfall.
Splash, his voice was like a wounded beast roaring low, helpless and sad.
After the most violent back and forth, his movements slowed down, and he finally collapsed on her completely, his lips almost touching hers, and he murmured, "I'll leave in the middle of the night."
