Xiao Jue looked at Qin Zhen and was silent for a moment before saying, "You are indeed the most suspicious person."
Qin Zhen laughed, nodded and said, "No need to ask, I did it. When you came to drink with me, I poured the wine that had been drugged long ago into your cup and watched you drink it.
Go down. Then I took the opportunity to invite you to the backyard and asked you to wait there. Finally, I calculated the time for your medication to take effect, and brought that... girl into the pavilion. Finally, I returned to the banquet, went to find His Majesty, and claimed
I want to take His Majesty to the backyard to see the surprise I have prepared for you, and take the opportunity to let His Majesty see you."
"Okay, everything makes sense, I did it."
Qin Zhen didn't look at Yuan Xu who was sitting on the side, only stared at Xiao Jue and said, "Are you satisfied?"
Xiao Jue was not satisfied, and Xiao Jue did not believe that Qin Zhen did it.
Yes, as Qin Zhen said, all of this can be explained, even perfectly, without any mistakes or omissions.
But just because it is so perfect, it makes people even more suspicious.
He raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows. His voice softened unconsciously and he said, "Speak nicely."
"I'm talking nicely," Qin Zhen said coolly: "You don't believe me when I say I don't have it, and you don't believe it when I say I did it. You are too difficult to serve. What you want is the truth after all.
, or is it just targeting me as a person and trying to convict me?"
Xiao Jue: "I'm not..."
"Princess," Yuan Xu on the side interrupted Xiao Jue again, his voice became much darker: "You said that on purpose, right?"
Qin Zhen raised her eyebrows: "What are you talking about?"
Yuan Xu looked at Qin Zhen coldly and said, "Since the princess entered this house, the princess has already settled everything."
"You act as if you are deeply in love with His Highness the Crown Prince, but as far as I know, you have rejected His Highness the Crown Prince many times." Yuan Xu said coldly: "You didn't like it before, but now you suddenly like it?"
When Qin Zhen was asked this question, she fell silent.
Xiao Jue on the side also seemed to have been poured cold water on him. After seeing Qin Zhen's silence, his face became even colder.
After a while, Qin Zhen answered the question and said, "After I came to the capital, they all said that I was an uncivilized savage with no rules or regulations."
After Qin Zhen finished speaking, she raised her head to look at Xiao Jue and said slowly: "Don't you also dislike my rudeness? You also asked Lou Yan to find a good teacher and send it to my house."
Xiao Jue: "I don't dislike it, I..."
"Those who taught me the rules said that women should be reserved." Qin Zhen laughed and said, "Why am I being reserved and you are not satisfied?"
Xiao Jue looked at Qin Zhen in astonishment and couldn't believe it: "You, you once rejected me just because of... this?"
Qin Zhen turned away and said dullly: "Am I going to be so shameless and pull you and beg you to marry me?"
Xiao Jue: "..."
Xiao Jue was silent for a long time before saying, "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
"How can I tell you?" Qin Zhen said in a deep voice: "The people in the Dragon Guard Mansion are all His Majesty's people, don't you know?"
"Have you ever thought about what Your Majesty would think if His Majesty knew about my relationship with you?" Qin Zhen looked at Xiao Jue with some helplessness: "When the time comes, you will be suspected and feared by His Majesty... That is not what I want to see.
.”
Qin Zhen's words were like a blow to Xiao Jue's head, waking him up immediately.
He suddenly realized that the Qin family was no longer the bandits of Longhu Mountain.
The current Qin family is the new noble of the imperial court. Qin Hong is His Majesty's confidant. Now, the Dragon Guard Army has replaced the former Forbidden Army and has become His Majesty's hand and eye.
If the emperor knew about his intention to marry Qin Zhen, the emperor would think that he was restless and plotting for the throne.
This is a taboo.
Xiao Jue suddenly turned back to look at Yuan Xu, only to see that Yuan Xu also frowned.
In a flash of lightning, Xiao Jue's mind suddenly made a decision.
The Qin family cannot be touched, but he cannot let go either. He has to hold the Qin family in his hands.
He took a step forward and tried to hold Qin Zhen's hand, coaxing softly: "I misunderstood you before, I apologize to you, please don't be angry, okay?"
Qin Zhen took a step back, preventing Xiao Jue from touching her.
Xiao Jue paused for a moment and continued to say softly: "You didn't tell me anything before, so of course I didn't know what you were thinking... Now I know everything, and I promise I won't be angry with you anymore.
.”
Qin Zhen looked at Xiao Jue: "It's not that I don't want to tell you, it's that I can't tell you."
Xiao Jue frowned and thought, this is a problem.
He couldn't keep in touch with Qin Zhen.
Qin Zhen suddenly said: "Do you still remember Yan Yu?"
Xiao Jue was stunned: "The girl you grew up with?"
Qin Zhen nodded and said: "She grew up with me and we are like sisters. She is someone who can absolutely be trusted and will never betray me."
Xiao Jue: "What do you want to do?"
"How about letting her serve you?" Qin Zhen softened her voice and said softly: "In this way, we can send messages through her in the future."
Xiao Jue was stunned: "But if she is gone, who will take care of you..."
"I'm used to being alone and don't need anyone else to take care of me." Qin Zhen stared at Xiao Jue and asked, "Or are you saying that everything you said is false and you don't want to have contact with me?"
"Of course not!"
Xiao Jue nodded and said, "Okay, I'll do as you say."
Then he pulled Qin Zhen's wrist again, but this time Qin Zhen didn't hide.
Xiao Jue coaxed in a low voice: "I may not be able to give you a status now, so please bear with me for a while... When I make a decision, I will definitely welcome you through the door in a glorious way."
Qin Zhen's eyes were red and her face was full of emotion: "I believe you."
After saying that, he quickly withdrew his hand and said, "I've been out for a long time, and it's time to go back. The same goes for Your Highness, please don't let anyone find out that you and I are related."
Xiao Jue was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Okay, then you..."
Qin Zhen turned around and walked out: "Let's go separately to avoid being seen."
Xiao Jue: "...Lou Yan, take her back."
Lou Yan, who had been standing in the corner, responded and quickly followed.
In the room, Xiao Jue looked at Yuan Xu and asked, "Sir, what do you think?"
Yuan Xu frowned and said: "I still think Princess Anshun is the most suspicious about the birthday banquet. She..."
"There is no evidence, right?" Xiao Jue interrupted him directly and said, "You have also seen that she loves me very much and will not hurt me."
Yuan Xu: "..."
Xiao Jue continued: "What's more, Qin Hong is very important now. Even if we don't talk about wooing him, we must not offend him."
Yuan Xu was silent for a moment and then said: "That's what His Highness the Prince said."
"Stop staring at Qin Zhen from now on," Xiao Jue's face darkened: "Compared to Qin Zhen, I doubt Yun Ruying more, she is too abnormal."
Yuan Xu nodded: "Yes, I will find out about this matter."
