Chapter 14
[]
Xiao Lingyue's heart skipped a beat.
Zhan Beihan actually came?
Although he was mentally prepared, he had to meet him after returning to the capital.
But she didn't expect that the opportunity to meet came so quickly and suddenly
Fortunately, Beibei and Hanhan are not there.
When everyone in the hall walked to the door and greeted respectfully when they heard that the prince and several princes had arrived.
Xiao Lingyue followed behind, and as soon as he looked up, he saw four men walking in like stars holding the moon.
Walking in the front, wearing a bright yellow python robe, the prince is elegant and gentle.
The person who walked side by side with him was Zhan Beihan.
After five years of not seeing him, his temperament became colder and colder, heavier and colder than before, like a sharp sword that was unsheathed, with a sharp edge.
Seeing him, Xiao Lingyue couldn't help feeling a little complicated, and then she secretly tickled.
The son has run away from home. The man didn't want to go and search for him quickly, but he even came to attend the birthday party?
No wonder Hanhan doesn't kiss him.
Zhan Beihan suddenly frowned his sword eyebrows, raised his head keenly, and looked straight at Xiao Lingyue with a cold look.
Xiao Lingyue immediately lowered her eyes and looked well-behaved.
I felt even more slanderous in my heart.
What kind of wild beast intuition is this? You can be discovered by looking at him at a glance.
Although he avoided gazes, Xiao Lingyue could still feel that the man's eyes stayed on her for a moment, as if he was looking at her.
Xiao Lingyue couldn't help but feel nervous.
No one knew better than her how difficult it was to Zhan Beihan, otherwise she wouldn't have to change her face and wear a vest before she dared to return to Beijing.
But then she thought about it and she was disguised as such, and Zhan Beihan could not recognize it.
As Xiao Lingyue expected.
Zhan Beihan's sharp eyes stayed on her for a moment, and then withdrew it without interest.
At that moment, he seemed to feel a familiar gaze.
When he looked at it, he found that he was just an ugly woman he didn't know, with his eyebrows down and his eyes fixed on his face, and his face was restrained, and his whole body was filled with strangeness.
Zhan Beihan soon lost interest and walked beside the prince coldly and alienatedly.
"Join the Crown Prince!" Everyone bowed together.
The prince walked up and personally helped the old marquis up: "Please get up quickly, please don't give me any gifts."
"Thank you, Your Highness, Prince." The old marquis stood up, and a sincere smile appeared on his majestic and old face.
The crown prince and many princes of the dynasty come to celebrate the birthday together, among them, the coldest Prince of Yi, which shows that Your Majesty still attaches importance to the old ministers! In view of this, even if the Nanyang Marquis Mansion really commits a crime, it may not be impossible to forgive him.
The old marquis secretly breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly said, "Your Highness, Prince, please come in there."
The prince walked into the main hall and immediately noticed that the atmosphere was not right: "What happened here?"
"Your Highness, please make the decision for me! I am wronged!" The Marquis of Nanyang shouted for injustice.
"Please beg your prince to make the decision for us!" Aunt Hua burst into tears.
"Your Highness Xiang!" Shen Yuting, who was guarded by the soldiers, saw King Xiang hiding behind the crowd and shouted with a hurried look.
King Xiang pretended not to hear it, and even pulled King Cheng over to block him.
He was just forced to marry by the prince and was depressed. Ten thousand people were reluctant to see Shen Yuting, and they wanted to hide as far as they could.
The old marquis smiled and sighed, "Your Highness, the old minister is confused now and has no idea what happened. Lord Zhao suddenly brought the soldiers from Jingzhao Mansion to the door and said that it was a robber in the Marquis's house. It was just a misunderstanding, but for some reason, Lord Zhao actually asked someone to arrest the old minister's son and even enthrone the door of the Marquis's house."
"Your Highness, the prince, I am really wronged! I don't know anything!" said the Marquis of Nanyang in aggrievedly.
The prince looked at Zhao Chengwei: "Mr. Zhao, what's going on?"
Zhao Chengwei said respectfully: "Your Highness, the matter is like this. The empress received a report in advance that a bandit was hiding in the Nanyang Marquis' Mansion, so he brought troops to arrest people."
"What?" The prince didn't hear anything wrong.
"Your Highness, this is actually a misunderstanding." The old marquis tried to pass the test vaguely and conceal his family's ugly face.
Unfortunately, Lord Zhao, who was selfless, did not give him face: "I found out that it was Marquis Chen's concubine who bought a murderer and tried to get rid of the third lady of the Marquis's house. Unexpectedly, the bandit was captured alive by the third lady and brought back to the mansion to confront him."
All: ""
Capture bandits alive?
Is this something that the daughter of the Hou Mansion can do?
King Xiang, who was pretending to be dead, couldn't help but ask, "Who is that third lady?"
Zhao Chengwei looked at Xiao Lingyue and signaled: "This is it."
Xiao Lingyue had no choice but to stand up and bow and salute: "Chen Wan has met His Royal Highness and several princes."
"Wow, it's so ugly!" Seeing the eye-catching birthmark on her face, King Xiang blurted out, and felt a little stingy.
He had never seen such an ugly woman in the capital.
"Second Brother" Cheng Wang poked him with his elbow and stopped talking nonsense.
"I'm telling the truth," King Xiang said aggrievedly, but was really curious, so he asked, "Did you really capture this bandit alive?"
Everyone's eyes were focused on Xiao Lingyue, among which, only King Yi's eyes were the sharpest and coldest.
Zhan Beihan remembered Ye Qi's report when he was in the suburbs of the city.
The little bastard met a bandit and was rescued by the woman from the Marquis of Nanyang, and ran away with the woman.
Could it be her?
Xiao Lingyue didn't know what he was thinking, so she calmly replied: "Yes."
"How did you do it?" King Xiang became even more curious and looked at her up and down: "Looking at her thin arms and legs, do you have the ability to capture the bandits alive?"
Can he not do it well?
"Does Your Highness Xiang suspect that I was lying?" Xiao Lingyue asked.
"That's right." King Xiang nodded directly.
"That's easy." Xiao Lingyue pointed, "The bandits captured alive are there, and the man is not dead yet. If His Highness Xiang doesn't believe it, you will know just by asking."
King Xiang: ""
She dared to say this, it must be true. Wouldn't he be so stupid if he asked?
This woman has an ugly face, a bad temper, and is not gentle at all.
King Xiang's already little interest disappeared all of a sudden.
Xiao Lingyue stood still, but in fact she was nervous.
Zhan Bei's cold eyes kept stopping on her. The more she looked at her, the more she looked like a "wild woman who kidnapped her son."
The person was found.
Where is the little bastard?
Zhan Beihan stared at Xiao Lingyue and quickly swept through the main hall without seeing the little guy.
The prince pondered, "Mr. Zhao, continue talking."
Zhao Chengwei continued: "After the confrontation between the two sides, the matter of buying the murderer has not yet been achieved. Weichen was planning to take the bandits back to the Jingzhao Mansion prison for interrogation, but was stopped by Marquis Chen. Marquis Chen personally stated that this bandit was a servant who signed the contract for sale by the Marquis of the Marquis of the Marquis of the Marquis of the Marquis of the Marquis of the Marquis of the Marquis of the Marquis of the Marquis of the Marquis of the Marquis of the Marquis of the Marquis of the Marquis of the Marquis of the Marquis of the Marquis of the Marquis of the Marquis of the Marquis of the Marquis of the Marquis of the Marquis of the Marquis of the Marquis of the Marquis of the Marquis of the Marquis of the Marquis of the Marquis of the Marquis of the Marquis of the Marquis of the
