Chapter 3970 Words are like knives
After listening to Wu Meiniang's words, Princess Linchuan in the carriage fell silent for a moment.
The other party came directly outside the camp to prevent her from entering the camp, which made her very unhappy. Fang Jun's refusal to meet her made her embarrassed. How could Fang Jun not understand the meaning of her own princess choosing such a time to come to her door? ? It was hard for her to bear the thought of being sent away like a piece of cargo to be humiliated by a man, but Fang Jun ignored her like this, which also hurt a woman's self-confidence...
But Wu Meiniang's blunt words about Wuji completely exposed her thoughts, which made her even more embarrassed and embarrassed.
But she didn't dare to get mad at Wu Mei Niang, because not only did she know that this woman was too ruthless to offend, but she also knew that Fang Jun loved her very much. From a concubine, she could enter and leave the military camp at will in the middle of the night, and even go to fight in front of her, a princess. This can be seen in the questioning of guilt.
Once this woman is angered, if the wind blows when she goes back to pillow, not only will Fang Jun's hope of seeking help be completely shattered, but Fang Jun will be furious, knowing that it will make Zhou Daowu even worse...
Taking a deep breath, Princess Linchuan opened the carriage curtain, stepped out of the carriage and stood on the carriage shaft. She was almost eye-level with Wu Meiniang, who was riding on the horse. Looking at her valiant appearance in the night, she said slowly: "My husband was originally with the Yue Kingdom. We have some quarrels with each other, but they are just a matter of temper, far from being life-or-death enemies. You were framed and imprisoned, and your life was in danger. I had no choice but to come to your door late at night. I begged the Duke of Yue to give up the old grudges and act righteously for the sake of relatives. Then I and the Zhou family in Runan would express my gratitude to Yue. The kindness of the Duke will never be forgotten, and if there is a mission in the future, there will be no delay! ”
Under the firelight, her face was still pale, her bare hands were tightly clenching the skirt of her clothes, and she felt extremely uneasy inside.
She has been stubborn since she was a child and has a willful personality. She has never bowed her head in front of others, but now she has to be humble and submissive in front of a concubine. Naturally, she is very depressed and is about to shed tears.
But even though she looks pitiful like this, is Wu Meiniang such a compassionate, kind-hearted person?
Wu Meiniang raised the corner of her mouth, tightened her cloak, and said in a cold and sweet voice: "Does His Highness Linchuan think that the slave is a fool and will believe your nonsense?"
Princess Linchuan's expression changed: "What does Mrs. Wu mean by this?"
Wu Meiniang's starry eyes flickered, and she scanned the still slender body of Princess Linchuan, and said calmly: "Even if you come to my husband to beg for mercy, why don't you come during the day, but in the dead of night? Come to the house? Who can hide what His Highness is thinking? Besides... Your Highness should have taken a bath before leaving the house, right?"
I will grab your sore spot and beat you to death, then I will echo Wu Meiniang’s style...
"You are presumptuous!"
Princess Linchuan's pretty face was red, almost bleeding, and she was almost filled with shame and anger.
Not only was Wu Meiniang directly piercing the unbearable thoughts in her heart and tearing them apart bloody, but also because she did take a bath before leaving the house, and even changed into a new one under her clothes...
Wu Meiniang didn't care at all about Princess Linchuan's anger. She slightly raised her snow-white pointed chin, and her perfect lips looked more fresh and tender as petals under the firelight, but the words she spat out were like swords.
"Whether your husband lives or dies is your own business, but you want to drag my husband into the water. How does this make sense?"
Princess Linchuan was a little confused when she was angry, and couldn't turn around for a while: "Have I ever dragged the Duke of Yue into the water?"
Wu Meiniang sneered, her pretty face frosted: "If Your Highness always admires my husband, whether it is to seduce him intentionally or to recommend him as a pillow, it is just a disgrace to women, and everyone can do whatever they want. But now that Zhou Daowu has been imprisoned. You just sent it to your door, maybe you just have admiration and take the opportunity to accomplish good things. But how do outsiders know? They will only say that you were coerced by my husband. Doesn't this mean that he is deliberately framed for "humiliating the princess"? His appearance is truly despising to women all over the world!”
"..."
Princess Linchuan was shaken all over. She even ignored the viciousness in Wu Meiniang's words. The color drained from her face as she realized something was wrong.
Although the vicious-tongued Wu Meiniang is extremely hateful and deserves to be cut to pieces, there is some truth in her words. If Zhou Daowu really fell into the trap of Fang Jun and tricked the prince into imprisoning him for a serious crime, he might have had the intention in his heart to force himself to do so. Send him to your doorstep and let him humiliate you.
It's one thing for him to willingly send her husband to his house in order to save her. It's another thing for Fang Jun to have a vicious mind, and it's another thing to plan for him to be transferred into his trap and allowed to be humiliated.
Active and passive, the process is different, the effect is different, and the feelings are naturally different...
How did Wu Meiniang know that Princess Linchuan simply missed the point?
Staring at the other party with burning eyes, he asked: "But someone gave His Highness an idea and asked His Highness to come late at night?"
"..." Princess Linchuan was startled here. She felt that Wu Meiniang had a clear understanding of the fire and all the details, and subconsciously said: "Aunt Fangling happened to be in the house before..."
Halfway through the words, I realized something was wrong and quickly shut up, but it was already too late.
"Princess Fangling?"
Wu Meiniang's eyes were gleaming, her silver teeth biting secretly: "This bitch!"
When she looked at Princess Linchuan, her eyes were a little softer. She was just a stupid woman whose brain was not big enough and was taken advantage of, and she almost made a big mistake...
"What is involved is very wide. The slave family will explain it to Langjun in detail. As for the matter of Zhou's consort, Langjun still needs to make a decision. His Highness Linchuan should please come back."
"That's fine."
Princess Linchuan has realized that if she steps into this military camp today, there will be unpredictable serious consequences, so she has no choice but to go back first and then worry about it.
Besides, she was indeed prepared to sacrifice herself when she came here. Now that she was exposed in front of Wu Meiniang, she felt hot all over and her face was feverish. How could she still have the dignity to wait?
After saying a few words, he quickly retracted into the carriage and urged the driver to drive away.
Wu Meiniang watched Princess Linchuan leave, turned her horse's head, rode into the military camp, and headed straight for the central army. Arriving outside the commander's tent, the soldiers in front of the tent knelt on one knee one after another, performed military salutes, and said in unison: "I have seen Mrs. Wu!"
No one dared to be disrespectful because of her status as a concubine. Everyone knew that the person talking in Fang Jun’s inner room was not the noble Princess Gaoyang, but the charming and charming Wu Lady in front of her. Even the head of the house, Fang Jun, Xuanling attaches great importance to him and often discusses important matters...
Wei Ying stepped forward to help Wu Meiniang dismount.
Throwing the reins to Wei Ying, Wu Meiniang's eyes flashed, she smiled softly and whispered: "You did a great job this time. You should keep working hard."
The sound was not loud, but the soldiers nearby could hear it clearly, and they all looked at Wei Ying with surprised expressions.
Wei Ying stared blankly at Wu Meiniang, who was moving lightly into the tent, his face full of confusion... What does "did a good job this time" mean? Does it mean that he leads the horse, falls into the saddle, and serves him well?
This was naturally impossible. Wei Ying's first thought was that someone from the inner house must have reported the news, so he went to stop Princess Linchuan. So the question is, who is the person who tipped off the news?
Just looking at the eyes of the surrounding soldiers looking at him, Wei Ying felt depressed and wanted to hit the wall, and at the same time shouted: You are me!
This woman is causing trouble and trying to cover up the real informant. The real informant is even one of you...
……
In the tent, Fang Jun stepped forward and gently took off Wu Meiniang's cloak, and poured a cup of hot tea with his own hands. The couple sat opposite each other on both sides of the desk. Fang Jun smiled and said: "Linchuan is eager to save her husband, and she stalks her to death. , if the lady hadn’t come forward, I don’t know how long the struggle would last without being beaten or scolded. It would be really troublesome. Thank you, madam, for the rescue.”
Wu Meiniang held the tea cup in her bare hands and sat on the chair. She took a sip of tea in a leisurely manner. She glanced at Fang Jun's face with watery eyes and said quietly: "I'm arrogant. His Highness Linchuan came here with a request. The husband got what he wanted, just because you and I wanted each other to get what we needed. I was so reckless that I ruined the husband's good deeds, and I was terrified. "
Fang Jun: "..."
Are you afraid? Look at that knife-like look in your eyes, you are so brave!
"Ah haha..." She laughed dryly and said helplessly: "The lady has already sternly rejected my husband, and she was even afraid that the ladies would misunderstand her, so she didn't even let Linchuan in through the gate of the camp. Her loyalty can be judged by the sun and the moon, and she will not praise her husband." It’s enough to keep my body like a jade, so why bother to say sarcastic words? I originally put my heart towards the bright moon, but the bright moon shines in the ditch and hurts my wife..."
Seeing his exaggeration and pretentiousness, Wu Meiniang rolled her eyes speechlessly, put the tea cup on the table, and got back to her business.
"Listening to what Linchuan said, the reason why she came here so late at night and was even prepared to sacrifice herself was because she was bewitched by Princess Fangling and didn't realize what kind of consequences it would bring to the husband if she stayed here tonight. Dangerous.”
The social atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty was open, and the status of women was almost at the pinnacle of the past dynasties. It was not uncommon for royal princesses to show off their appearance and have romantic relationships, especially the daughters of the emperor Gaozu, whose style was corrupt and had a very bad reputation. If Linchuan secretly communicated with Fang Jun, had a tryst in the military camp, and spread the news in time, it would not be considered an earth-shattering event.
Of course, if Zhou Daowu refused to be humiliated and vowed to fight to the death, it would be another matter. For example, when Princess Fangling had an affair with Yang Yuzhi, her husband Dou Fengjie led his men to kill Yang Yuzhi. The matter became an uproar, and finally Li His Majesty can only sentence the couple to divorce, one separation and two leniency...
But now that Zhou Daowu is in jail and his life is in danger, Linchuan bears the humiliation and taints Fang Jun in order to save his pension, and the nature of the matter has completely changed.
The royal family can tolerate the princesses going out to steal sex and feed themselves, but it absolutely cannot tolerate the princesses being forced to suffer the humiliation of their courtiers...
As long as Princess Linchuan stays in the military camp and Fang Jun can't help but touch her, there will definitely be an uproar.
Even if the prince still loves and trusts Fang Jun, if something like this happens, he cannot ignore the dignity of the royal family... (End of chapter)
