Chapter 213:
"Your Highness is really kind to Ran Ran," Jiang Zhixue on the side covered her lips and said with a smile: "I heard that the old Duke Anguo made great achievements in war when he was young and was quite prestigious in the army. Now he is old and sick, and he should be taking care of himself. Tiannian, just to vent your anger, His Highness will kill you."
She didn't know about the poison. Seeing that Wei Hanzhang was fine and could talk and walk away like anyone else, she thought that the Liu family's plan had failed, and said: "The Liu family has reaped the consequences. It's really a relief."
Wei Hanzhang stood by the railing of the pavilion by the lake and threw the bait in his hand to the lake. He shook his head and laughed when he heard his cousin's words.
"The third generation of the Liu family..." Jiang Zhixue muttered, and suddenly asked the servant who reported the news with great interest: "Doesn't it mean that the most beautiful woman in the capital will also be beheaded in the street tomorrow?"
After her family moved to the capital, she seemed to have a livelier temperament. She was no longer as sensitive and stingy as before, and she was not too affected by the divorce from her mother-in-law. She pulled Wei Hanzhang's sleeve, leaned closer and asked, "I still I’ve never seen the most beautiful woman in Beijing. Is she good-looking?”
Liu Wanning's beautiful face flashed through Wei Hanzhang's mind. It was so stunning that it was unforgettable. She objectively commented: "She is good-looking. In terms of appearance and figure, she deserves the title of the most beautiful woman."
Had it not been for such a beautiful girl in the family, Duke An Guo's mansion probably wouldn't have gone all out to send his daughter to the throne.
…The whole family was involved in it.
Jiang Zhixue’s eyes lit up when he heard this, “Is it more beautiful than Ran Ran?”
"..." Wei Hanzhang was silent, a little embarrassed to praise himself, and said: "This is a matter of opinion."
Jiang Zhixue sighed and suddenly said: "Then let's go to watch the execution tomorrow. If we don't go this time, we won't have the chance to see this beauty in the future."
"This is a beheading at Caishikou, are you not afraid?" Wei Hanzhang was really shocked. After two months of not seeing her, her cousin had changed a lot. "And my aunt and others will definitely not allow you to go."
Jiang Zhixue wanted to speak, but the servant who came to report was already sweating profusely on his forehead. He bowed and said, "You two girls don't know something. The eldest lady of the Liu family is not on the list of executions tomorrow. Manager Chen is watching at the market entrance." I checked several times and made sure I didn’t see Liu Wanning’s name.”
Wei Hanzhang was stunned. The third generation of the Liu family is Liu Shizi. His elder brother and younger siblings are going to be beheaded, but Liu Wanning can escape this disaster?
"This..." Jiang Zhixue waved away the servant and said hesitantly: "Could it be that His Highness felt compassion for this beauty? That he spared her the death penalty?"
"This is the capital, and trouble comes from the mouth. Cousin, please don't speculate on your Majesty's thoughts." Wei Hanzhang reminded her, but her mood became inexplicably lower. She thought of the scene at Wei Hanshuang's outing banquet, where Liu Wanning was so charming and charming.
Looking up at the setting sun on the horizon, she patted the remaining bait on her hand and said, "It's getting late. I'm going back home first. I'll come back to play with my cousin another day."
"I was just joking, why did Ran Ran get angry?" Jiang Zhixue grabbed her sleeves and refused to let her go, muttering: "Don't let her go. We haven't slept together for a long time. Ran Ran can stay with me tonight." ”
Wei Hanzhang saw her coquettish look and sighed in his heart that she had not changed much in a few months. He smiled on his face and said: "Why should I be angry with my cousin? But I really can't stay today. Let's try another day."
She didn't plan to stay overnight today. When she came with Jiang in the morning, she didn't even bring any spare clothes. Her body shape didn't match her cousin's, so she couldn't wear her new clothes.
After leaving Jiang Zhixue's courtyard, she met Jiang's maidservant who came to ask her if she wanted to go back.
Jiang is now the mistress of the Duke of Wei's house, and there is no reason to stay in another house. Fortunately, the two houses are close to each other and can be reached in a matter of seconds. She has no regrets and will come back tomorrow.
Wei Heng went to the Ministry of Civil Affairs to be on duty. There were only mother and daughter in the carriage. Wei Hanzhang carefully raised his eyes to see Jiang's face, and saw that she was also looking at him carefully. Mother and daughter's eyes met. Jiang held her daughter's hand and said warmly: "There must be something hidden about Liu Wanning. If you have any questions, you can ask His Highness. Don't misunderstand Your Highness."
Wei Hanzhang was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect his mother to be worried about this. He couldn't help but smile and shook his head: "Where did my mother go? I'm not a jealous person, so I won't take this matter lightly."
Jiang's words of comfort suddenly choked up. Didn't she know her daughter? She didn't know who followed that domineering spirit. Not to mention that His Highness spared Liu Wanning's life as a special case. Even if she took one more look, she would either happy.
But after taking a closer look at my daughter's face, I saw that she was as calm as usual. I didn't know whether she was happy or worried. I sighed for a long time: "Your Highness has no doubt about your affection for your mother. It's just that no matter how deep the affection is, you are so cold to her." , I don’t know how long it can last.”
She didn't know that her daughter was poisoned. She only knew that her daughter was still a child and her feelings changed too quickly.
Wei Hanzhang couldn't explain it to her, so he only said, "My daughter knows it, so I don't have to worry about me."
As the carriage entered the house, Jiang said, "My son got up early today and didn't even get a nap at noon. I won't leave you any food for my mother's sake. Go back and rest early."
Wei Hanzhang was already tired. Hearing this, he felt happy, said goodbye to his mother, and returned to his courtyard.
When I stepped into the courtyard door, I didn't notice anything wrong. I was just wondering why no servants were seen in the courtyard today. I didn't realize it until I opened the door and saw the man holding a scroll inside.
…The prince’s presence is the right thing to do to clear away the idle people.
She sighed in her heart. They separated just yesterday, and today they came to visit her. Did they really not give them any space to breathe?
Xiao Junzhan looked away from the storybook and saw the little girl standing in a dilemma at the door. He smiled slightly and waved to her: "Come here slowly."
"..." Wei Hanzhang was silent, then raised his steps with difficulty and walked over. He was afraid of his habit of hugging her on his lap whenever they disagreed, so he stopped two steps away and said, "Why are you here again, Your Highness?" "
Why are you here again...
Xiao Junzhan stood up, tapped her forehead with the scroll, and said angrily: "If I don't come, I'm afraid you won't even remember me in less than two days."
Wei Hanzhang put his hand to the forehead where he was hit, frowned and said, "Why are you beating me?"
"Does it hurt?" Xiao Junzhan took her hand away and looked over. He was slightly relieved that he didn't see any red marks. He lowered his head and kissed her smooth forehead, and then smiled: "She's so delicate."
Wei Hanzhang: “…”
Leading her to sit on the couch, Xiao Junzhan unfolded the book in his hand, pointed at a place and asked, "What does Ran Ran mean by this mark?"
Wei Hanzhang looked at her, but for a moment, her cheeks warmed up rapidly. She snatched it away, extremely angry: "Forget about breaking into the girl's boudoir without permission, why do you always like to mess with other people's things?"
The laziness is somewhat cured, at least a little better...
