Reborn Lady's Scheming

Chapter 279 This Is My Retribution
Facing Xuanyuan Zhen, Situ Lei didn't have that kind of humility as a subject at all, as if his Xiangyang Palace in the north and the Dashun imperial family were on an equal footing.

Even though Xuanyuan Zhen saw Situ Lei's arrogance and rudeness from the beginning to the end, he had no intention of pursuing it on the spot at all. After all, it was because of the hundreds of thousands of elites in the hands of King Xiangyang!

Once the King of Xiangyang raises troops, Dashun will not only face civil strife, but neighboring countries will also take advantage of the fire. At that time, the situation will be out of control, so, no matter what, Xuanyuan Zhen will not be easily annoyed King Xiangyang.

Xuanyuan Zhenzhong sent someone to invite Situ Lei into the seat again, and the dance and music continued, as if the farce just now had never happened.

The palace servants carefully cleaned up the shards of the wine glass that Xie Wanqing smashed to the ground. No one noticed the tears that quietly fell from Qin Yu's eyes when he lowered his head. Xie Wanqing looked at her intently, but From the trace of sadness on Qin Yu's face, he vaguely saw half of the ruthlessness, which disappeared in a flash.

Xie Wanqing's heart skipped a beat, thinking it was her own illusion.

"Wan'er, why are you in a daze?" Seeing that Xie Wanqing lost her mind, Princess Xian'an bumped her with an elbow from the side, Xie Wanqing suddenly regained her composure, shook her head and smiled, "It's nothing... ..."

Situ Lei drank a lot of wine at this banquet, and everyone else drank from small cups, and he was the only one who insisted on changing to a large bowl. Everyone just looked at him bowl after bowl, and they didn't know where the excitement came from. drunk.

However, even if Situ Lei was finally drunk and passed out, people have to admire his drinking capacity.

Looking from a distance, Situ Lei was so big lying there, he couldn't scream no matter what, the emperor had no choice but to order someone to help him down, and chose a palace for him to rest, Cui Guifei thoughtfully called someone to help him. He prepares hangover soup.

I thought this matter would come to an end, after the banquet, everyone dispersed, Xie Wanqing and Princess Xian'an walked together in the imperial garden.

Princess Xian'an sighed: "This Situ Lei is really out of character, the emperor can pamper him like this."

"So what if you don't let him go?" Xie Wanqing looked at the sky meaningfully, "The emperor is always concerned about the power of King Xiangyang."

However, based on Xie Wanqing's understanding of the emperor, he will never be such a person who is willing to be restrained by others. Presumably, he must have other plans to deal with King Xiangyang. Temporary compromise and tolerance are just superficial efforts That's all.

The two of them hadn't walked out of the imperial garden yet, Princess Xian'an suddenly said in shock: "Wan'er, have you seen Wen Xiao?"

Xie Wanqing turned around in surprise, and there was no one behind her except for a few accompanying maids, "Didn't she come out with us?"

"I dragged her out with us, but in the blink of an eye, why did she disappear?" Princess Xian'an looked around, why did she disappear without making a sound?

Xie Wanqing asked the accompanying palace people: "Have you seen Miss Cui?"

The group of maids just shook their heads in a muffled voice, asking three questions.

"Could it be called by the imperial concubine?" Princess Xian'an guessed.

Xie Wanqing shook her head, "If the imperial concubine sends someone to call, there is no way there will be no movement!"

"That's weird..."

The two of them thought something was wrong, and hurried back, first ran to Concubine Cui Guifei's bedroom, Concubine Cui was busy explaining some matters to the palace people, when they saw Xie Wanqing and Princess Xian'an trotting over, they guessed that it must be life what's the matter.

"What's the matter? You are..." Concubine Cui asked after dismissing the palace servants and ushering Xie Wanqing in.

"Your concubine, is Wen Xiao with you?" Princess Xian'an asked directly, regardless of etiquette.

Concubine Cui replied with a funny smile: "Isn't Wen Xiao with you all the time? After the banquet just now, he also left with you, didn't he?"

"That's true, but as we were walking, she suddenly disappeared..." Princess Xian'an explained to Concubine Cui vaguely.

Concubine Cui roughly understood the meaning, and her expression suddenly became serious, "Don't worry, I will send someone to look for it right away!"

However, before Concubine Cui Gui gave the order, a palace lady's exclamation suddenly came from outside——

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty is not well... Your Majesty..."

The palace maid ran in in a panic, knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, something happened!"

Seeing the maid's expression, Xie Wanqing's heart suddenly rose to her throat, and the facts once again proved how effective her premonition was.

Sure enough, whatever you are afraid of will come.

Only the little maid answered with a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, something happened in Yilan Hall!"

"Yi Lan Palace?" Concubine Cui Gui said in a deep voice, "Isn't that the place where Prince Xiangyang rests?"

When mentioning Situ Lei, Xie Wanqing and Princess Xian'an concentrated their attention at the same time, and heard the maid continue: "Shi... Shizi, he...he and...and...Miss Cui..."

The palace maid faltered for a long time, but she couldn't complete her words. Impatient, Xian'an stepped forward and grabbed her shoulder and said, "What's the matter? Can you explain clearly?"

"Yes...someone heard the noise inside, went in and took a look...but saw Cui...Miss Cui rolled naked with that prince!"

The court lady managed to finish her sentence, but to Xie Wanqing and the others, it was nothing more than a bolt from the blue.

Princess Xian'an gritted her teeth, "This bastard, I'll kill her!" After saying that, Princess Xian'an rushed out, this time Xie Wanqing didn't stop her, because she wanted to kill her more than Princess Xian'an Situ Lei.

Xie Wanqing and Princess Xian'an headed towards Yilan Hall one after the other. Concubine Cui stood there, as if she was thinking about how to resolve this matter. A wry smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. Did the Cui family escape? But this catastrophe?

In the Yilan Palace, Situ Lei seemed to have woken up a little. He glanced at Cui Wenxiao who was on the bed, and suddenly scolded his two followers: "Who is this bitch? Didn't I ask you to call that vicious woman?" Did you bring it? How did you bring this to Lao Tzu?"

The two followers were sullen, letting Situ Lei reprimand and reprimand them.

It turned out that what happened was like this, Situ Lei pretended to be drunk by drinking, and when he arrived at the Yilan Palace, he secretly ordered his followers to lure Xie Wanqing over. As a result, the two followers were dazzled and mistakenly followed Xie Wanqing. Cui Wenxiao, who was behind him, was taken captive, so that the matter has developed to the point where it is irreversible.

Cui Wenxiao sat on the bed with the quilt in her arms, with a look of lovelessness on her face. From the conversation between Situ Lei and his followers, she could vaguely hear the clue of what happened. The corners of her mouth twitched. Is this her retribution?
"Papa" twice, Situ Lei slapped each of the two attendants angrily, and kicked them out as if he was still angry.

Looking back at Cui Wenxiao, Cui Wenxiao was wearing his clothes calmly, neither crying nor fussing, and he didn't mean to be afraid of Situ Lei at all.

Situ Lei wiped the corner of his mouth rudely, "You don't have to make such a dead face, I will take care of what I do, don't worry, I will take responsibility for you!"

Cui Wenxiao raised his eyes and glanced at Situ Lei, without saying a word, put on his belt, walked up to Situ Lei, and said coldly, "Please step aside!"

Situ Lei stared at Cui Wenxiao in surprise, "You woman, you are really interesting!"

Cui Wenxiao walked around Situ Lei stiffly, walked to the door, and just as soon as he opened it, Princess Xian'an rushed in, waving a stick in his hand and slashing at Situ Lei, "You despicable and shameless villain, you Even Wen Xiao dares to move, see if I don't abandon you, who do you think you are? This princess will teach you how to be a man today!"

Princess Xian'an's agitated appearance made her think that Cui Wenxiao had been wronged, which was worse than the bullying she herself had been bullied.

However, Princess Xian'an was not Situ Lei's opponent after all. Instead of injuring Situ Lei, he was restrained by Situ Lei's backhand.

Situ Lei cursed angrily: "Where did the lunatic come from!"

Inside, Princess Xian'an and Situ Lei were arguing, outside, Cui Wenxiao slowly walked down the steps, Xie Wanqing was standing at the bottom of the steps, staring at Cui Wenxiao in a daze.

"Wen Xiao... are you okay?"

Cui Wenxiao replied with an inexplicable smile, spread his hands and said, "Me? I'm fine..."

"Wen Xiao... has that bastard..." Xie Wanqing asked cryptically, but Cui Wenxiao understood, and smiled wryly as he lifted up his sleeves, his arms were spotless, and Xie Wanqing's heart fell instantly. abyss.

"Wen Xiao..." At this moment, she could not find any words to comfort Cui Wenxiao, probably no words could overcome the grief and helplessness in her heart.

Cui Wenxiao slowly approached Xie Wanqing, stared at her blankly, and said, "That day, I stabbed the king of Wu'an County, and he owed me that. Today... such retribution fell on me , I owe you what I should."

Xie Wanqing opened her mouth, "Wen Xiao, you don't owe me, you never owe me anything..."

Cui Wenxiao shook his head, "Wan'er, you are so stupid and naive."

Xie Wanqing couldn't understand the meaning of Cui Wenxiao's words.

"Do you really think that I don't know anything about the plan of the Prince of Wu'an? In fact, I have already discovered that there is a problem with that jade ring. In fact...I have long since been on the same page with you. Tonight, I once wanted to I want to harm you with other people, do you understand?" Cui Wenxiao said every word sadly, but Xie Wanqing didn't believe a word.

"You're talking nonsense, cousin, you and I grew up together, I don't know what kind of temperament you are, how could you harm me..." Xie Wanqing grabbed Cui Wenxiao's hand, "You and my sister , what kind of misunderstanding can't be solved? Don't say that about yourself...don't..."

"You are still like this until now. Don't you know that people's hearts will change? Wan'er, I have changed, and I am sorry for you. This is the truth, you can't believe it!" Cui Wenxiao resolutely said. He pushed Xie Wanqing's hand away, as if he wanted to get rid of all ties with her.
