Qin Zhen saw Yun Ruying and put a thick stack of banknotes in her pocket.
Then he took the jewelry and placed them in front of Hongxue, coaxing: "Good boy Hongxue, keep whatever you like."
Hongxue looked at these things and could tell at a glance that they were valuable and not something that brothel girls like them could afford.
She shook her head repeatedly and said, "No, no, it's too valuable, I can't take it."
"Just take it if you are told to take it! Don't take it for nothing if it falls from the sky."
Qin Zhen said: "You keep it and save some private money for yourself. When I can redeem you someday, you can live with these private houses."
Hongxue was stunned for a moment, her eyes dimmed, and she said softly: "Is there still that day..."
Qin Zhen promised word for word: "There will be a day."
After she overthrows the prince, removes Ji Yun, and deals with Liu Changsong behind Ji Yun, she can take Hongxue away.
Qin Zhen reached out and patted Hongxue's shoulder, and said softly: "And what about Xiao Yao? You trust him the most, right? He will also help you."
Mentioning Xiao Yao, Hongxue's face improved a little.
Qin Zhen took the opportunity to push the jewelry in front of Hongxue and said, "Choose some?"
Hongxue couldn't help but refuse, so she reached out and chose a few items.
Seeing her hesitation, Qin Zhen directly put the bracelet on Hongxue: "This bracelet is good, moist and clear, and the most valuable."
Hongxue flinched and was held down by Qin Zhen, saying: "I match you very well."
Hongxue lowered her head and glanced at the jade bracelet on her wrist, with a little secret joy in her eyes.
There is no woman who doesn’t love beautiful jewelry.
Qin Zhen picked out a few more beaded hairpins. Hongxue shook her head repeatedly: "No, no, no, that's enough."
Seeing the panic on her face, Qin Zhen didn't want to embarrass her any more, so she packed up those things and took them away, saying, "I sold them for money and brought Miss Wanyanlou Bao Hongxue to play the piano for me."
Hongxue: "..."
Qin Zhen waved her hands and left.
Qin Zhen returned to Hulong Mansion with the money that fell from the sky, and had a good sleep without nightmares.
When she woke up early the next morning, she felt a little cute when she saw the rising sun.
However, the good mood this early in the morning was broken after Yan Yu came in.
Yan Yu hurriedly said with a somewhat panicked expression: "Princess, the Crown Prince's people are outside and say they want to see the princess. Please go out and see her."
Qin Zhen's eyes instantly turned cold.
Yesterday it was Yun Ruying, today it is Xiao Jue.
This matter must come to an end.
Yan Yu swallowed her saliva and said, "I think they came with bad intentions, right? Does His Highness the Crown Prince know something? Princess, what should I do?"
"Why are you panicking?"
Qin Zhen said in a deep voice: "Shut your mouth and don't say a word that you shouldn't say, otherwise no one can save you."
Yan Yu shut her mouth, but she couldn't hide the panic on her face.
Qin Zhen was silent for a moment and said: "I went back to the people outside and asked them to wait. I said I would be there in a moment."
Yan Yu agreed, turned around and went out.
Qin Zhen entered the inner room and changed into plain clothes. Then she took off her bun and did a simple hairstyle without even wearing a single bead.
I wiped off the rouge and gouache on my face and went out with a bare face.
When she arrived at the gate, Qin Zhen seemed to have changed into a different person.
The ends of her eyes are a little red, and if you look closely, they are a little swollen. There is no makeup on her face, and she looks a little haggard.
Coupled with the fact that she is wearing a plain dress, she looks even more haggard and lovable.
The prince's subordinates, who were originally somewhat ferocious, uncontrollably softened their voices when faced with such Princess Anshun: "The prince invites the princess to reminisce about the past."
Qin Zhen hummed and said, "Lead the way."
His voice was a little hoarse, and it sounded like he had just cried.
The man took one look at Qin Zhen and felt some sympathy in his heart. Without saying anything, he took Qin Zhen into a carriage.
The carriage was swaying, and it took half an hour before it stopped.
Qin Zhen counted this time, and Xiao Jue was probably taking her from one end of the city to the other.
It's really a lot of painstaking work.
The carriage stopped, and when she jumped off the carriage, she sneered in her heart.
Xiao Jue actually took himself to the moat.
What, are you thinking about throwing yourself into the river without anyone noticing?
Yan Yu who was following her couldn't help but tremble a little.
The person leading the way had quietly left, and an old acquaintance came to pick her up.
Qin Zhen looked at Lou Yan standing in front of her and said sarcastically: "The prince really trusts you, and he keeps you by his side even when he does such a thing."
Lou Yan didn't seem to understand her sarcasm and just said: "Come with me."
Qin Zhen glanced at the hut standing by the river and said, "That's right. If you kill people and dump their bodies, you still have to find a place to hide."
Lou Yan: "Since you know the consequences of what you do, you shouldn't do it."
Qin Zhen sneered: "I don't understand what you are talking about."
Lou Yan glanced at her, and Qin Zhen's look was a bit hard to describe.
Seems...a little frustrated?
Before she could see clearly, Lou Yan had already turned his back and walked in front, facing her with the back of his head.
Qin Zhen sneered and had a bad look towards Lou Yan.
This person was a traitor to a tiger in his last life, and he refuses to change his ways despite repeated admonitions in this life. This is really irritating.
After entering the hut, Qin Zhen saw clearly that besides the prince, there was another person inside.
The man was dressed in white, about as old as the prince, and had a bookish air about him.
Qin Zhen frowned, feeling that this person looked familiar.
But before she could think of it, Xiao Jue had already spoken.
"It's really difficult to meet her." Xiao Jue stood not far away, waved to Qin Zhen and said, "Come here and let me take a good look at you."
Lou Yan, who was standing next to Qin Zhen, frowned and said, "Your Highness, the princess..."
"Do you have a role to speak here?" Xiao Jue interrupted Lou Yan with a cold face.
Lou Yan was silent for a moment and then retreated to the corner of the room.
Xiao Jue looked at Qin Zhen again and said, "Come here."
Qin Zhen looked at Xiao Jue expressionlessly for a moment, then raised her feet and walked towards Xiao Jue.
As soon as he got closer, Xiao Jue suddenly stretched out his hand and pinched Qin Zhen's chin, forcing her to raise her head and gritted her teeth and said: "Let me see, how vicious a snake-scorpion heart you have to do this."
What about that kind of thing?"
Qin Zhen was pinched so much that it hurt, but she didn't struggle. She just said coldly: "What else is your Royal Highness saying? I don't understand!"
"You don't understand?" Xiao Jue said word for word: "On the night of the birthday party, you led me to the backyard. Don't you understand what happened?"
When Qin Zhen heard this, she fell silent for a moment.
Xiao Jue's eyes were red and he said angrily: "Speak, don't pretend to be dead!"
Qin Zhen didn't speak, she just started to shed tears silently.
Tears fell on the back of Xiao Jue's hand, making him suddenly let go of his hand as if he had been burned.
