There is a black lotus in the deep palace

Chapter 57 You are very smart
Tang Wanning's legs and feet were inconvenient, and she had to stay in bed for several days.

Early this morning, when she just woke up, she received a letter, which was handed to her by her father and mother.

When Tang Wanning got the letter, she guessed that her parents were leaving, and she felt very sad.

Opening the envelope and taking out the letter paper to read it quickly, she frowned, apart from reluctance, there was also...doubt.

"My lady, but what was written in the letter?" Bi Yue couldn't help asking.

Tang Wanning did not answer.

She lay on the bed in a daze for a while, then suddenly murmured to herself: "What happened? Why did my father and mother keep it from me as if nothing had happened?"

She squinted her eyes, and her father was extremely remorseful when she received the emperor's imperial decree a year ago, and she was very dissatisfied with the son-in-law of the imperial prince, both openly and secretly.

But in this letter, my father and mother urged at the end of the letter, never to be willful and angry for the Tang family and the prince, and to listen to the prince's opinion in everything.

Tang Wanning stared at this sentence, thinking carefully and terrified.

The father said that it is normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines, but he turned around and chased after Xia Houjue with a knife.

Mother used to be afraid that she would wrong her, but now she repeatedly told her not to get angry with the prince.

The two parents are so contradictory to Xia Houjue's rhetoric...

Tang Wanning's eyes lit up, and her mind suddenly recalled the bonfire dinner that day, when Xia Houyan approached her uncharacteristically, and his extremely cold eyes.

Xia Houyan...

That's right, Xia Houyan, the queen's son-in-law, deliberately approached him several times. If he really said that he had no intentions, who would believe it?

Then why did he get close to him? !And Xia Houjue, she tried to recall Xia Houjue's reactions carefully.

He said: "Xia Houyan can't teach you, if you want to learn how to let the sixth younger brother Xia Houjing teach you..."

He said: "Fourth brother, I don't know how to let third brother taste the venison!" '

That day when she was shooting a deer in the forest, she and Xia Houyan were obviously the only ones, but when she finally found her father's voice, Xia Houjue was also near her. Could it be that he had been following her?

Reminiscent of how his father was stabbed by Xia Houjue that day, but he didn't seem to have the slightest complaint, and Xia Houjue gently put down after being chased by his father with a knife.

This series of doubts threaded into a thread and connected into a face, the truth in her mind was ready to come out, Tang Wanning's eyes instantly lit up like torches.

It was a play, a play played by Xia Houjue and Dad!

What on earth were they hiding from her?
"Your Majesty? Your Majesty?" Bi Luo gently shook her arm: "What's wrong with you?"

Tang Wanning snapped back to her senses, suppressed the complexities in her heart, and forced a smile.

"No...nothing!"

Biyue was very worried and asked a question.

"Your Majesty, your complexion is not good, are you feeling unwell? Is this servant calling the imperial physician to show you?!"

Tang Wanning's face turned pale again, and she forced a smile.

"Need not!"

"I'm just a little tired and want to sleep for a while, you go out first!"

Biyue and Biluo didn't know what to say, so they could only leave with a nod.

……

There is only one person left in the room.

Tang Wanning lay on the bed tossing and turning, seemingly sleeping but not sleeping, with extremely complicated moods.

For a while, I thought of my own stupidity, for a while, I thought of what Xia Houjue did, and for a while, I thought of my parents' concealment.

What exactly happened, and why did they keep it from themselves?And it was Father, Mother and Xia Houjue who joined forces to hide it from her.

In the past, didn't father look down on this kind of royal family and nobles the most?Why did you suddenly change your mind about the prince?This is too fast.

The more she thought about it, the more confused she became, and she fell asleep in a daze.

In the dream, she dreamed that her parents had gone north, and she wanted to catch up and ask, but she couldn't move anyway.

"Is...the most worrying thing about to happen?"

Tang Wanning's tears trickled down the side of her face.

When the dream changed, she saw Xia Houjue again. He was still looking at her with a dark face, with the same disgust in his eyes.

Tang Wanning didn't care much, and wanted to run over to ask him.

This time, he was able to move his steps, but he refused to say anything... He just looked at her with disgust.

"Xia Houjue! Xia Houjue!" She shouted and woke up from her dream.

In the hazy tears, there was a black figure standing in front of her eyes.

The room was silent for a long time...

After an unknown amount of time, Tang Wanning wiped away her tears, turned her face away and asked uncomfortably.

"How did you come?"

"You are the lonely princess, why can't you come here?" Xia Houjue's tone was as cold as ever.

Tang Wanning bit her lip and looked up at him.

"I know you have something to hide from me, don't you plan to tell me?"

Xia Houjue's eyes froze involuntarily, but there was no trace of expression on his face, he curled his lips into a smile.

"The princess is really joking..."

"Gu's matter involves government affairs... It seems that you, a woman in the inner courtyard, can't intervene..."

"You know what I'm talking about?" Tang Wanning burst into tears, her eyes stubborn.

"Did something happen to the Tang family? Did something happen to my parents?"

Intuition told her that was the case.

The Tang family has a large army in their hands, and Emperor Jingyuan ordered him to marry him into the palace. Do you just want to marry?Or is it because of the poor relationship between the monarch and his ministers?

neither!Only suspicion, only defense.

Originally, she thought that entering the palace by herself would dispel her doubts, but now that she thinks about it... maybe it's not enough!

Xia Houjue suddenly laughed twice.

"The princess is really worrying too much. How is the Tang family? Didn't you see it with your own eyes?"

"Also...what's the matter with Gu? Gu has nothing to hide from you!"

There was a moment of hesitation in the expression that seemed to be playful but not a smile.

Tang Wanning was stunned for a moment, and suddenly thought of a lot in that instant, she also looked at him with a half-smile.

"Maybe!"

"You're right, I was thinking too much!"

She breathed a sigh of relief and muttered something to herself.

"Thank you!" The voice was so small that only two people could hear it.

Both were stunned.

Tang Wanning lowered her head and sighed, and said nothing more.

Xia Houjue narrowed his eyes, and said seriously: "You are very smart!"

"You have only been in Beijing for a short time, and it's normal that you don't understand some things, but in the future... I hope you know how to do it!"

After Xia Houjue finished speaking, she got up and left. Tang Wanning fiddled with the teacup with her head down, without looking up for a long time.

Yes!

She didn't know that the capital, the so-called center of power, could have such a sinister heart.

She didn't know that these people's acting skills could be so good that no one could see the slightest flaw.

She never thought that one day, she would learn to wear a mask to live.

This so-called royal family, the so-called imperial court that loves the people like sons and gentlemen, does not treat meritorious officials superficially.

hehe!No matter!It's just learning a skill, isn't it overwhelming to have too many skills?

If one day she dies and is reincarnated in modern times, maybe she can become a movie queen or something when she grows up, that would be great!
Tang Wanning suddenly smiled, and this smile revealed endless bitterness.
