"Father, mother, there is no need to send them back."
Under the watch of Zhang Tailiu and Chu Feng, Zhang Qingjiu smiled and waved, and followed Huo Wu into the carriage.
"Drive--" As the coachman shouted, the carriage instantly disappeared into the night.
In the carriage, Zhang Qingjiu, who sat down, lowered her eyes and adjusted her clothes. Huo Wu looked at her with a bit of uneasiness in her eyes, and stopped talking: "Miss Zhang, I just hid it from you. We are not going tonight..."
Prince's Mansion."
"I know." Zhang Qingjiu didn't even raise his head.
"You know?!" Huo Wu was suddenly startled, his eyes widened, and his tone was shocked.
After arranging the last fold, Zhang Qingjiu raised his head, his expression as usual, "Why does the prince see me at this time? Do you need a second explanation to break off the engagement?"
"This..." Huo Wu was shocked and confused, so she could only smile awkwardly: "I'm sorry, this matter..."
"I don't blame him." Zhang Qingjiu raised his eyebrows, "He is just sick."
Listening to her straightforward words, Huo Wu felt an indescribable feeling in her heart.
In fact, after Zhang Qingjiu saved His Highness, acted neither humble nor overbearing in front of His Majesty and the Queen, and frustrated the Prime Minister twice in the Prime Minister's Mansion, he already had expectations.
Perhaps the candidate for the crown princess is her.
But when she thought about what she had done to the Eighth Prince, and when she thought about His Highness's indifferent attitude, her heart couldn't help but beat.
But these are just his thoughts. When will it be his turn to speculate on the affairs of the Tian family again?
Gradually, Huo Wu's attitude towards the person in front of her became more respectful and respectful without realizing it. Even if she said such words at the moment, she was just sighing and did not feel any conflict.
"Huo Wu dare not forget Miss Zhang's affection for the Crown Prince's Mansion." Huo Wu narrowed his eyes and said seriously to Zhang Qingjiu, "If I can be useful in the future, just give me your orders."
"There's nothing you can't forget, and you don't need to pay it back." Zhang Qingjiu said lightly, "Anyway, I will marry your prince in the end."
Huo Wu: "..."
Is it really okay to say this so straightforwardly?
In order to ease the slightly awkward atmosphere, Huo Wu coughed lightly and said, "Miss Zhang, His Majesty and the Queen want to see you tonight. We are going to..."
"Enter the palace, I know." Zhang Qingjiu opened the curtain and looked outside.
Awesome!
Huo Wu's eyes widened, "How do you know?"
"Not entering the palace? Where else do you want to take me?" Zhang Qingjiu put down the curtain and turned around and asked.
Chu Lan was so fast that she actually told the emperor about her rejection. The two old men were not slow in their actions and even found her in the palace late at night.
Huo Wu twitched the corner of her mouth, "I don't dare, I just feel that Miss Zhang is indeed very capable and knows things like a god."
Seeing Huo Wu's expression, Zhang Qingjiu knew what he was thinking. He chuckled and knocked on the carriage window, "Isn't this the direction where I went to pick up your Highness this morning?
"
So that's it! Huo Wu secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The last time I heard Feng Zhi say that this woman knew the art of deduction, I thought everything would be fine in the future...
Now it seems that not everything is like this.
However, just when Huo Wu put his heart back in his stomach, Zhang Qingjiu spoke again, "It's you, how are you going to explain it to your highness after you go back?"
Huo Wu's face changed slightly, "What does Miss Zhang mean by this?"
Could it be that she knew that the reason why His Majesty and the Queen summoned her was because they secretly added an extra letter to the prince's letter sent to the palace, and that she went out to take her into the palace at night without telling the prince?
"How about I give you a way." Zhang Qingjiu did not answer directly, but there was a faint hint of a smile in his eyes.
Huo Wu was shocked and subconsciously blurted out, "Please give me some advice from Miss Zhang."
"Just say that someone in your family gave birth, and the incident happened suddenly, so you came out without even taking notice." Zhang Qingjiu pondered for a while and said.
Huo Wu frowned, "What do you mean, Miss Zhang? I'm not married, how could anyone give birth to a baby?"
Seeing that he didn't believe it, Zhang Qingjiu didn't say much. He smiled slightly and closed his eyes.
Yes or no, that is the fact.
She can deduce, but she doesn't want anyone to rely on the art of deduction for everything.
However, it is not impossible to look at things in the fog and leave them a little mysterious.
Seeing Zhang Qingjiu no longer paying attention to her, Huo Wu was shocked and suspicious, but she didn't dare to speak casually anymore. She just kept thinking about what Zhang Qingjiu's words meant...
Fortunately, we soon arrived at the entrance of the palace. In the past, the palace wall where the prince would get off the carriage to inspect on foot was actually wide open at this moment, and no one stopped the carriage from stopping it from entering.
It wasn't until they reached a secluded place that Huo Wu asked the carriage driver to stop, got out of the carriage with Zhang Qingjiu, pointed to the palace not far away, and saluted from afar, "Your Majesty and the Queen are both here.
Wait inside, my subordinates won’t go in, please leave, Miss Zhang.”
However, Zhang Qingjiu remained motionless, looking at the palace under the night, frowning.
Huo Wu's heart tightened, thinking that she was nervous, but she thought that she was still a woman and it was inevitable to see the holy face. When he was about to comfort her, Zhang Qingjiu suddenly spoke.
"Is this where Chu Lan lived before?" Zhang Qingjiu's eyes were deep.
Huo Wu was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "Yes."
When he was four to seven years old, he served as the prince's companion in the palace, and he still remembers some of it.
Zhang Qingjiu narrowed his eyes and revealed a sneer at the corner of his mouth, "That's right."
What's right? Hearing what she said, Huo Wu, who was wondering how she knew this was the palace of His Royal Highness, became more confused.
But before he could ask, the woman he thought was "nervous" lifted up her skirt and strode towards the palace not far away.
Looking at her back as she climbed the steps, she was obviously thin and frail, but inexplicably made people feel tall and steady.
He looks very much like His Highness the Crown Prince.
In such a large palace, only the main hall is brightly lit. Although candles are lit in other places, compared with the main hall, they look like the light of fireflies.
Chu Wei and Murong Qingwan had been waiting for a long time. As soon as Zhang Qingjiu opened the door and walked in, they couldn't help but stand up. The queen couldn't hide the joy in her eyes, "Miss Zhang, you're here!"
"Yeah." Zhang Qingjiu nodded, his eyes swept over the layout of the room, and his brows furrowed even more.
The queen saw that Zhang Qingjiu's face was not very good, thinking that she was unhappy about calling her here so late, so she couldn't help but apologize: "I'm sorry for asking you to come to the palace so late."
"It's okay." Zhang Qingjiu opened his eyes and turned to look at the emperor and empress, "You made the right decision."
emperor:"……"
Queen: "..."
There are not many people in the world who dare to say that what we are doing is wrong.
Seeing her husband's gloomy face, the queen immediately smiled and said, "Miss Zhang really understands the general situation. Your Majesty and I are already aware of the matter of going to court this morning. I would like to thank you again. In addition..."
After saying this, the queen's face became more emotional, "I asked you to come here because I want to apologize to you. We have heard about the prince's reaction. You have been wronged by this matter."
"So you also agree with his decision?" Zhang Qingjiu raised his eyebrows.
