Yuan Qingling looked up at her, "Do you regret it?"
Princess Ji thought for a while, "I have never thought about regrets or not. Now that I have reached this point, I can no longer think about regrets or not. The human heart is the hardest thing to grasp. I tried my best, but when I met a heartless person, what's wrong?
The solution? I knew from the beginning that everything I put in might not be rewarded."
"So, are you really in love?" Yuan Qing Ling said.
After hearing this, Princess Ji couldn't help laughing, "Love? Maybe?"
"What do you love about King Ji? What's so good about him?" Yuan Qingling asked.
Princess Ji said: "I love him not because he is good, but because he is my husband-in-law."
Yuan Qing Ling was startled, "That's it?"
"What else do you need?" Princess Ji looked at her and was very surprised. Isn't this question in vain? If not her husband, who would love her?
"Then do you still love him now? After all, he is still your husband-in-law." Yuan Qingling followed her logic and asked.
Princess Ji's eyes were cold, "I don't think he is."
Yuan Qingling asked: "Why?"
"He doesn't have to love me, but he can't kill me. Once he has the intention to kill me, we are no longer husband and wife, but enemies." When Princess Ji said the last word, her eyes suddenly turned cold.
Yuan Qing was stunned. The husband and wife became enemies. What a cruel fact this is!
Princess Ji's expression quickly calmed down and she said calmly: "Don't worry, you and Lao Wu won't do it."
Yuan Qingling smiled, "You taught me a lesson a few days ago not to trust a man too much."
"It's important to be on guard against others. Even if it's the person next to you, it's always good to be more defensive. Forget it, you've become like this now, and I can't bear to talk to you."
During the time that Yuan Qingling got along with Princess Ji, she discovered that although she was a thoughtful person, she could also be forthright at times.
She is the kind of person who treats you well, can be especially kind to you, hates you, and can even wish to kill you.
She is also very aware of current affairs, flexible and flexible, and willing to lower her noble head.
Although Chu Mingcui asked for help in the end, she didn't really bow her head. Her last call for help was calculated and sinister, because after asking for help, she turned around and wanted to kill someone.
If Chu Mingcui and Princess Ji really wanted to discuss strategies, Chu Mingcui was far from being Princess Ji's opponent.
But if we talk about being a good person, Chu Mingcui is still more disgusting.
After Princess Ji left, Aunt Xi came back.
Aunt Xi entered the room and told Yuan Qingling that she had returned to the palace but did not wait for the prince to come back.
Yuan Qing was anxious, "Has he not come back since last night?"
"I heard that Tang Yang said he never came back." Aunt Xi sighed melancholy, "It seems that we have to ask someone to inquire in the palace."
Ah Si said in surprise: "Where can the prince go if he doesn't come back? He is an adult prince, and he cannot live with the good concubine in the palace. Could it be that he contradicted the emperor and asked the emperor to lock him in the darkroom?"
Yuan Qingling was frightened when she heard the word darkroom. One day in the darkroom would cost half her life, and two days in the darkroom would mean she wouldn't be able to survive.
She looked at her mother anxiously and said, "Quick, go find someone and ask."
Aunt Xi said softly: "Princess, don't worry, even if you want to find someone, you can't find anyone right now."
Ah Si said: "Look for Chu Shoufu."
Aunt Xi said: "Where can he be in the house at this moment? The search is in vain. We have to wait until he comes back in the evening to find him."
When Yuan Qingling heard this, her limbs became weak, "I found out the news at night, but the person has been locked up inside for the second day. Oh my God, mama, the darkroom has suffered so much. You know, there are other ways to think of it."
?"
Aunt Xi helped her sit down and comforted her: "Don't worry first. Ah Si is talking nonsense. He must be locked in a darkroom. Although adult princes are not allowed to spend the night in the palace, there are other princes in the palace.
, he can stay with the Eighth Prince for one night, or he may also go to the Supreme Emperor's place."
How can Yuan Qingling's heart be calm? He has already suffered once in the darkroom, will he endure it again?
She couldn't help but resent the cruelty of this old man. Why did he treat the fifth child like this? Who cares about the prince who is a laborer?
Ah Si didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore and looked at Aunt Xi for help.
Aunt Xi sighed, "Let's do it this way. I'll go to the alley outside Chu's house earlier and watch to see when the chief assistant will come back."
"Thank you, grandma." Yuan Qingling said gratefully.
"Princess, please don't say these polite words to me. You have a good rest. Don't really have fetal force at this critical moment." Grandma advised.
Yuan Qing Ling nodded casually and returned to her parents' home. Although she had always pretended to be calm, her heart was still very confused. Now that she didn't know the news about Lao Wu, her heart seemed to collapse all of a sudden.
Aunt Xi said a few words of comfort and then went out.
She didn't go to the Chu family either. She just waited outside the alley. She waited for almost two hours. She didn't see the chief minister's sedan slowly approaching until her whole body was frozen.
She breathed a sigh of relief and walked out to stop him.
After the sedan came down, the chief assistant opened the curtain and saw Aunt Xi, who was shivering with cold, standing in the middle of the road. Her face and lips were all white from the cold, and her body was swaying.
The chief assistant immediately came down, his face was livid, and he shouted angrily: "What are you doing? Don't you know how cold it is?"
Aunt Xi was so cold that she couldn't open her lips. She finally regained her breath and said, "I have something to ask you for."
"Go into the house and talk!" Chu Shoufu glanced at her coldly, took off his coat and put it on her, "Let's go!"
Aunt Xi took it off and said, "No need..."
Chu Shoufu glanced over with a cold look, veins pulsing on his forehead, "You dare?"
Aunt Xi immediately lowered her hands, not daring to do so.
"Still not leaving? Are you waiting to freeze to death?" Chu Shoufu grabbed her wrist and walked forward.
Aunt Xi quickly broke away and said, "I'll go by myself. I'll go by myself. It won't be good if there are too many people."
Chu Shoufu walked in front with his hands behind his back angrily, and Aunt Xi followed suit every step of the way.
After entering the house, the concierge greeted him, and Chu Shoufu said in a sullen voice: "Immediately order someone to prepare ginger soup and hot water."
The concierge was startled for a moment, and hurriedly responded before Chu Shoufu glanced at him with a cold look.
"Run!" Chu Shoufu roared behind him.
The concierge ran away quickly.
Chu Shoufu led Grandma Xi into the study and ordered her to use the stove to keep warm.
After entering the house, he pulled Grandma Xi over and rubbed her cold hands vigorously, still sullenly saying, "You don't know how old you are? How long have you been waiting outside in such a cold weather?"
"Two hours!" Aunt Xi whispered, not daring to raise her head to look at him, but she felt that her body was cold, but her heart was warm.
"Damn it!" Chu Shoufu yelled angrily.
Auntie Xi retracted her hand, she was already old and she felt embarrassed to be so close.
"I'm looking for you to ask..."
"You don't have to ask anything before you finish drinking the ginger soup." Chu Shoufu said coldly, turned around, spread a soft cushion for her, and told her to sit down.
