Red makeup against the world

Chapter 992 Compromise?
Madam Zheng's heart trembled, it seems that this matter is not just that simple.Behind Han Xiang, there are others instigated.

"What's the name of that aunt?" Madam Zheng asked.

Wen Mulan thought for a while, and said, "I heard Princess Hanxiang call her Yuegui."

Laurel, the name sounds very familiar.

Suddenly, like a flash of lightning flashed across Madam Zheng's mind.She remembered, isn't Yuegui the confidant maid beside Princess Zhaoyang?Followed her to Khitan, why did she follow Hanxiang back to Gaomang?
Could it be that Princess Zhaoyang was involved in this?

Madam Zheng shuddered fiercely. It was related to royal secrets, so she had better not speculate.

She asked in a trembling voice, "Have you told the Second Young Master about this?"

Wen Mulan thought she was just catching cold, so she reached out to help her and quickened her pace.Said: "Second Young Master asked me not to miss a single word, and I will report it in detail."

Madam Zheng felt relieved, the flaw was so obvious that she could hear it, and she didn't believe that Wu Zhengxiang didn't notice it.

"Mulan, remember this matter and let me rot in my stomach. Don't tell anyone again, so as not to cause trouble." Let the masters solve the matter by themselves. What is more important for slaves is to be good slaves. duty.

Madam Zheng grabbed Wen Mulan's hand so tightly that it hurt a little.

Wen Mulan quickly responded, and said, "Don't worry, mother, I won't tell anyone, not even Fengqi." Although mother Zheng has always been serious, she has never been as nervous as she was tonight.

Only then did Madam Zheng slowly let go of her hand, and the two continued walking.

As Mother Zheng expected, Wu Zhengxiang became interested in the mysterious aunt next to Hanxiang.

In the past few days, he took Han Xiang to travel around every day. She was served by two maidservants brought from Khitan, and there was absolutely no aunt.

Since this aunt came with Han Xiang, she lived in seclusion.A slave is not like a slave, an elder is not like an elder, and his identity is a mystery.

The matter was so important that Wu Zhengxiang decided to take a look in person.He had an intuition that this woman might be an acquaintance.

His skills can be freely used in the capital, let alone in the one-acre three-point land of his own home.

Taking advantage of the darkness of night, he sneaked into the yard where Hanxiang lived, first to Hanxiang's main house.Hearing the sound of breathing from inside, he turned in through the half-opened window, and saw Laurel sleeping on the floor beside the bed at a glance.

Indeed an acquaintance.

In the blink of an eye, Wu Zhengxiang understood her identity and tied the whole thing together.

Princess Zhaoyang, Prince, should I thank you for treating me so highly? !

He could only feel his anger surging up uncontrollably, sweeping across Yuegui's cheek again, and disappearing into the night.

In the early morning of the next day, Xu Wanzhen woke up from her sleep.

There was still warmth on the bed beside him, obviously Wu Zhengxiang had just woken up not long ago.

Bai Yao fetched water and came in to help her freshen up. Wu Zhengxiang came back from practicing his sword, nodded at her with a smile, and went straight to the cleaning room.

His expression was the same, but the tightly pursed corners of his lips revealed the unhappiness in his heart.

Xu Wanzhen remained calm, after all, her memory had not recovered in front of everyone.

After Zhiyan led the people to set up breakfast, Wu Zhengxiang waved away the crowd, and Xu Wanzhen asked, "What's wrong?"

Wu Zhengxiang said in a low voice: "I took a look, and Hanxiang is following Yuegui."

"Yuegui?" Xu Wanzhen exclaimed in a low voice.

When the Xu family had just arrived in Beijing, there were no clues about the case at all, and the first person she asked to see was Princess Zhaoyang.Therefore, she is very familiar with the confidant maids around her.

Without waiting for Wu Zhengxiang to say more, she already understood.

It turned out that Hanxiang was ordered by Princess Zhaoyang, no wonder the prince trusted her so much and let her plot against Wu Zhengxiang.

Wu Zhengxiang's voice was a bit bitter, and he said, "This time, I'm the one who dragged you down again."

He blazed a trail through the thorns and thorns to get to this position, which has become the source of prying eyes of all forces.Although he had expected it, he didn't expect that Xu Wanzhen would be dragged down.

The time she was hijacked to the Northland was because Jiang Chen needed his cooperation.But this time, the crown prince will use Princess Hanxiang to tie him up.The crown prince distrusts him so much, how will the monarch and his subjects get along after he ascends the throne as emperor?
Wu Zhengxiang was able to be loyal to Emperor Qinglong, and he would not hesitate to shed blood and sweat, it was because Emperor Qinglong had absolute trust in him.

And facing a suspicious emperor, he was not sure if he could still serve.

"Wanzhen, what should I do?"

Seeing him in pain, Xu Wanzhen's heart felt like a knife was being twisted.

She gently held his hand, and said softly: "Is it the king's land in the whole world, is it the king's subject on the shore of the land. Yizhi, why don't you marry Hanxiang as a flat wife."

"No!"

Wu Zhengxiang suddenly let go of her hand, and jumped back reflexively, even tripping over the chair.

The maids outside heard the movement and looked at each other not knowing what happened.

Bai Yao raised her voice and asked, "Young Madam, what did you drop?"

"It's okay, don't come in."

Inside the room, Wu Zhengxiang looked at Xu Wanzhen panting heavily and said, "How can you say such a thing."

Xu Wanzhen said in a difficult way: "I, why am I thinking again?" It's just a scheme from the emperor, how can a courtier avoid it?

This matter is now very clear.

The crown prince didn't trust Wu Zhengxiang, maybe because he was afraid of his ability, maybe because he was a person left behind by Emperor Qinglong.Regardless of the reason, it is always mistrust.

However, Princess Zhaoyang recognized Wu Zhengxiang's talent.After all, he was loyal to Emperor Qinglong, and he handled every major event properly. Looking at the whole world, there is no more suitable commander of the Xiaoqiguard than him.

That's why Shulu Hanxiang appeared, and the prince asked Wu Zhengxiang to play with Princess Hanxiang.

Speaking of it, the prince did this matter so naturally.If Wu Zhengxiang doesn't go with the flow, the result can be imagined.

Marrying Shulu Hanxiang will dispel the prince's suspicion.If you refuse, you will be hated by the future emperor.

It would be fine if he was just a mediocre person, but it's a pity that he is extremely skilled and capable.Even if he had no second thoughts, but for the emperor, such a person would be at ease only after death.

These words cannot be said in words, but both of them are like mirrors in their hearts.

Looking at each other in the air, Xu Wan was really helpless and infatuated, which made Wu Zhengxiang's anger fade away bit by bit.

He sat down again, picked up the hot tea and drank it in one gulp.

But how can hot tea quench the anger in his heart?His eyes gradually became colder, colder and darker.Looking at the thin blue and white teacup in his hand, he couldn't see how hard he was, and he pinched a few pieces with a "pop".

The porcelain slice pierced his skin, and bright red blood beads suddenly emerged from his right hand and slowly dripped onto the table.

After all, he is a man who will become the Dark Lord, and the darkness in his heart rises again after being calculated by the prince.
