Chapter 373
Cheng Cen was hit repeatedly today and was so shocked that she could not speak. She suddenly thought, if Qin Feng and Xiao Lingyao knew what she had done, would they withdraw their expectations for her? She was not worth it and was stupid.
Like her, she had to pay for the entire Cheng family!
"The matter has come to this. If you sincerely repent, you can no longer stay in Sui City." Cheng Wu finally closed his eyes and said, "Your uncle is running a school in Jiangnan. If you are willing to devote yourself to studying, go to Jiangnan and follow your uncle to cultivate your character.
"
Cheng Cen said in astonishment: "Will Your Majesty spare your granddaughter's life?"
"Of course, if you die, what can he threaten me with?" Cheng Wu sighed: "You are valuable only if you are alive. So going to Jiangnan is just a temporary way away from the disputes in Sui City. Your life is not in danger. Let's take one step.
, take a look."
Cheng Cen lay prone on the ground with a sad look in her eyes. After just one thought, she made a wrong move, stepped into a trap without realizing it, and even did all kinds of stupid things. She couldn't help but shed tears: "Grandpa, granddaughter, I regret it."
That’s it.”
"What you did today is even more disappointing to my grandfather. You drugged the consort to stoke the incest of love. You even added drugs to yourself to make you happy. Do you know what kind of woman did this?" Cheng Wu was angry when he mentioned this.
.
Cheng Cen said nothing, she knew that this fragrant and that medicine were all done by promiscuous women to flatter their benefactors. A woman like her who grew up in a boudoir and was regarded as a virtuous and talented woman would never use such methods. Today, everyone
In order to destroy the Cheng family's face.
Qin Feng actually told the details one by one in the letter, which was tantamount to tearing off all the disguises she had in front of her grandfather. Her heart hurt, and she finally understood that he was really ruthless to her. It was strange to say that after experiencing today's heavy life
One day when she hit rock bottom, she felt calmer.
Going to Jiangnan to study? Cheng Cen thought of the women's academy Xiao Lingyao mentioned, and felt bitter in his heart. Does she still have a glimmer of hope?
"Grandfather, my granddaughter is willing to go to the south of the Yangtze River to follow her uncle and devote herself to the study of reasoning. My granddaughter has an unstable mind. She was obsessed with power and made a big mistake, which also ruined the reputation of the Cheng family. My granddaughter will definitely regret it and ask my grandfather to check my behavior and see the consequences."
Now that things have reached this point, there is no way to reverse it. Apart from sending her out of Sui City, Cheng Wu can't think of any better way. She is the eldest son's only daughter, and he can't do it for justice!
"That's it for now. Go to Jiangnan and you will be blessed."
Cheng Wu turned around and walked into the room. Cheng Cen looked up and saw her grandfather's back becoming more and more stooped. She was confused. If the Cheng family wanted to be free from His Majesty's control, it would be better if she died, but her grandfather could not do this.
Cold sweat broke out on her back. She knew her grandfather well, and he would definitely keep this matter a secret and would not tell her uncle.
Although she had escaped, there was no joy on Cheng Cen's face. Her eyes were blank and her body was slumped on the ground. She suddenly thought of the day when the imperial edict came, and she was secretly happy. At that time, her grandfather looked solemn, but there was no sign of joy.
Is she the only one who thinks that she can rise to the top, and that the position of the most noble woman in the world is within her reach? Her grandfather has long known that this royal family is complicated, how can his granddaughter be able to control it? Sure enough, Cheng Cen thought in frustration, her little cleverness is not enough at all.
Cheng Wu's granddaughter murdered the crown prince's concubine... Hahaha, such a clue was exactly what Emperor Yuan needed, but in fact, Emperor Yuan only hinted and did not ask her to take action. She just understood it on her own and handed over the clue with her own hands.
"You are smart, you are smart..." Cheng Cen finally stood up and walked back to his small courtyard in a daze.
At this time, in the silent meeting hall of the Princess Mansion, Xiao Lingyao looked at the injury on her finger with a deep look in her eyes. Bai Qian, who was standing aside, didn't know what she was thinking, but she didn't ask them to put the konghou into the warehouse after returning to the house.
, but placed in the Jingyi Hall.
Bai Qian watched Xiao Lingyao looking at the harp and her fingertips, as if she was deep in thought. She was serving Xiao Lingyao with tea. The Lord of Rongan County had a lot of trouble today. His Highness must have done it.
Not happy anymore?
"Put away the konghou." Xiao Lingyao looked at the injury on her finger and said, "It's rare to touch it once, but I sacrificed blood to it."
Bai Qian frowned. Both the royal family and the people believed that musical instruments had spiritual powers. The idea of sacrificing blood made her feel uncomfortable. She hurriedly scolded: "Your Highness, don't talk nonsense. Sacrifice is an unlucky word."
"How can you believe those evil rumors? It is a good thing to have no taboos." Xiao Lingyao said with a smile.
Bai Qian had no choice but to collect the konghou first. As soon as she left, Cao Jing came in, cupped her hands and said, "Your Highness, as your Highness thought, there is indeed something different about Xing Zhan coming to Sui City. He is secretly
Contact our people in the court, including Mr. Huang."
Xiao Lingyao was writing, but had not yet touched the ink, and asked: "How will Mr. Huang and others react?"
"Please rest assured, Your Highness, Mr. Huang and others are very clear-minded and have not agreed to meet Xing Zhan. Your Highness is right. My uncle has different intentions." Cao Jing's eyes showed hatred: "How dare he!"
They were walking on thin ice in Sui City. He was far away in the north of the Yangtze River, and now he wanted to take over all Xiao Lingyao's plans and enjoy the results? Cao Jing was angry in his heart. If they were not thousands of miles apart, he would just want to take that uncle's head!
"Everyone has ambitions. These nine years of planning have made my uncle's appetite grow bigger and bigger. I originally suspected that he had some differences in recommending me to recognize my father. However, we were young back then and we didn't know how to deal with it. Now it's not too late to realize it.
"
Xiao Lingyao dipped her pen in ink and sketched it stroke by stroke on the fine peach blossom paper. During the day, she found a gold-stitched knife at the poetry calligraphy meeting, and was picked up by Qin Feng to read official script. But at this moment, she could do it
But it’s cursive!
Her writing power was amazing, but just two words made the ink soak into the white paper. Cao Jing looked at it, and saw only two words - break!
When she finished writing, there was a firm look in Xiao Lingyao's eyes. She said with a smile: "Keep an eye on the punishment battle first. When the Spring Festival is over, the deadlock will be broken. Don't be impatient."
Cao Jing just showed murderous intent. She could see it clearly. Cao Jing didn't know why he couldn't match Xiao Lingyao's calmness. He lowered his head slightly: "Yes, Your Highness, we just have a question - why do we have to wait until the end of spring?"
"Because we want to make spring money with the consort, who made us poor?" Xiao Lingyao smiled without any intention at this time, and she was a bit self-deprecating: "Well, the scholars in the world still know not to give up for a few buckets of rice.
There’s nothing we can do about it.”
She looked very much like she had before entering the palace many years ago. In the past nine years, Cao Jing knew how much of her true self she had hidden. At this moment, he couldn't help but think, if Madam came back alive, she would take them to her place.
What would it be like to live in a place where you can live comfortably?
