The whole room was quiet, some were looking at Rong Xia, and some were looking at Banhua.

Banhua just glanced at Rong Xia, then lowered his head and continued drinking tea.

Rong Xia raised her eyebrows slightly, "Me?"

Shi Feixian smiled sadly and said: "If it weren't for you, why would I go to that inaccessible ruined temple?"

"But Miss Shi, I have never written you any note, and I can't possibly write you a note," Rong Xia looked at Shi Feixian calmly, "I wonder if you can take a look at the note next?"

Shi Fei Rong Xia is just one person.

Now in front of so many people, and Li Chengkai, who belongs to the Shi Party, is present, Shi Feixian is not worried that Rong Xia will destroy the evidence, so without much hesitation, he takes out the note hidden in his arms. .

Rong Xia did not reach out to pick it up. Liu Banshan looked at Li Chengkai. Li Chengkai hesitated and reached out to take the neatly folded note. He had also seen Rong Xia's calligraphy and paintings, so when he opened the note and looked at it, he felt that the words were indeed written by Rong Xia.

But Li Chengkai did not dare to speak directly. He just held the note up in front of Liu Banshan: "Master Liu, look at this..."

Liu Banshan only glanced at it, then smiled and shook his head and said: "This word is not written by Mr. Rong."

"What?" Shi Feixian suddenly raised his head and looked at Liu Banshan, "Impossible!"

It's impossible for her not to recognize Rong Xia's handwriting, it's obviously Rong Xia's handwriting.

"Miss Shi, I also like Lord Rong's calligraphy very much, so I have collected several calligraphy works by Lord Rong over the years, but..." Liu Banshan turned to look at Rong Xia, "In fact, there are very few calligraphy works by Lord Rong. It is rumored that many of the so-called authentic works of Master Rong are copied by others."

"Although this calligraphy is very similar to that written by Mr. Rong, as long as the old man who appraises the handwriting has a look, he can prove that it is not the same person's handwriting," Liu Banshan said to Shi Feixian, "Miss Shi, There is an official in Dali Temple who appraises handwriting. Even His Majesty once praised his eyesight, so I immediately called him in for appraisal."

Seeing that Liu Banshan's attitude was so positive, Shi Feixian was already half convinced. She looked at Rong Xia in a daze, her mind gradually clearing up. Rong Xia was so cold towards her on weekdays, so how could he write a letter to ask her to meet?

Her body swayed and she sat weakly on the cold ground.

Soon the old man who could identify handwriting came. He was still holding the handwriting written by Rong Xia. After just looking at it for a few times, he shook his head affirmatively: "This is written by two people, Uncle Rong's." The words are vigorous and powerful, and they have the habit of being slightly hooked at the end, giving people a stunning feeling like a dragon dancing around. The words on this note are similar in form but not in spirit, and when this person writes, Maybe it’s because of a lack of wrist strength that the writing seems a little frivolous.”

"The person who wrote this kind of calligraphy is either a relatively weak scholar or a woman." The old man put down the note and said to the three adults, "This is my family's opinion, but in order to make the case clearer, I also ask you, sir, to ask a few more gentlemen to identify it again."

"Mr. Youlao," Liu Banshan saluted the old man, turned to Shi Feixian and said, "Miss Shi..."

"No need," Shi Feixian looked up expressionlessly, "I believe what you say."

Liu Banshan smiled and said: "In that case, can Miss Shi prove that you just happened to have an appointment to meet someone in a ruined temple?"

Seeing Shi Feixian's speechless appearance, Li Chengkai shook his head secretly in his heart. I'm afraid he couldn't explain clearly what happened to the Shi family girl. No one in the entire capital knew that the second girl from the Shi family was good at handwriting. Maybe she copied this note deliberately as an excuse.

And many people know that she has some friendship with Mr. Rong. She can use this excuse to cover up the truth about her murder. Who can tell the truth?

"Miss Shi, until the matter is investigated clearly, I can only temporarily force you to live here for a few days." Liu Banshan turned to look at Rong Xia and Banhua, "But please don't worry, we won't I will let a bad person go, and I will not wrongly accuse a good person."

Shi Feixian did not speak. The only fault was that when she saw the note sent by someone else, she thought it was written by Rong Xia and didn't even recognize the font carefully.

She knew that her only way out now was to wait for her father and brother to rescue her, but when she thought of her father's silent posture when she was taken away, she felt ridiculous for this idea. Girls from the Shi family are born to sacrifice for their family.

The only extravagant hope she ever had was to marry the man she loved. However, this extravagant hope was shattered because the man didn't like her.

"I understand, let's go." A mocking smile appeared on Shi Feixian's lips, "There is no need to put on such a hypocritical face towards me."

Ban Hua, who had been sitting silently next to her, suddenly stood up and said to Rong Xia, "It's time for me to go back."

"Wait," Rong Xia stood up and said, "I'll take you back."

"Rong Junpo," Shi Feixian called Rong Xia and looked at him seriously, "Can you tell me why you would rather marry a woman like Banhua than look at me again?"

After hearing this, Ban Hua stopped and looked back at Shi Feixian, with an unsightly expression on his face.

There are always some people in the world who consider themselves affectionate. Even if others don't like them, they still insist on asking for an answer to their feelings. If the other person doesn't answer, they are indifferent. Even if this person already has a lover or a wife, these people will not find it difficult to answer their questions, and the other party must answer to be polite.

They have never thought about it. Asking questions regardless of the occasion is rude, no matter what the purpose is.

And the world is always moved by some inexplicable dedication and deepness. For example, right now, Banhua can see that some people present have begun to be moved.

Yes, it is such a wonderful thing for a beautiful weak woman to fall in love with a man. It is even worth writing a book and describing her love. If a man doesn't express his emotions, how can he be considered a talented man?

"Miss Shi," Rong Xia stopped, "in Rong's eyes, you are the same as other girls in the capital, but Princess Fule is different."

"I hope you won't ask me this kind of question again in the future, let alone ask this kind of question in front of my fiancée. Asking such words will only make people feel embarrassed and make my fiancée unhappy." Rong Xia raised her chin slightly and said, "Goodbye."

It wasn't until Rong Xia and Banhua left that everyone gradually came back to their senses.

Yes, this Miss Shi knows that Master Rong and Princess Fule are engaged, yet she still asks such questions in front of people. Isn't it inappropriate? Princess Fule and Master Rong had a good relationship, but when she asked him this question, everything went wrong.

Li Chengkai secretly complained in his heart, what is this? He is in a dilemma now.

He has never been reused by Shi Chonghai, and he has some opinions about the Shi family. Now it is difficult to do his best for the Shi family's affairs.

After walking out of Dali Temple, Banhua looked up at the sky and saw that the sky was still a little gloomy, so he asked Rong Xia, "Are you going back home now?"

"I'll take you back first," Rong Xia climbed the mountain on horseback, "I just have something I want to tell you."

"What about Miss Shi Er?" Banhua raised an eyebrow, "No, I believe you have nothing to do with her."

Rong Xia looked at her in surprise.

Seeing his surprised look, Ban Hua couldn't help laughing and said: "The way a man looks at a woman is different from the way a woman looks at a woman. In my opinion, the way you look at Miss Shi Er is different from the way you look at a woman." The look in Li Shilang's eyes is the same."

Rong Xia was stunned, and after a while he laughed and said: "Huahua actually believes me so much?"

Banhua nodded seriously.

Rong Xia looked at her black and white eyes and couldn't help but laugh a few times.

The news that the prime minister's daughter was taken to the Dali Temple prison quickly spread throughout the capital, and even some people began to describe the entire case vividly. Why did Miss Shi hire a killer to assassinate Princess Fule because she was jealous of Princess Fule's beauty? After the incident was revealed, Cheng Anbo was furious and sued the second girl Shi to the imperial court. He would rather offend the powerful Prime Minister Shi. Master, I also want to take Miss Shi Er to prison.

The final conclusion is that Miss Shi Er is really bad, and Cheng Amber is obsessed with Princess Fule. And the poor Princess Fule must be jealous because she is so good-looking.

In this story, Ban Huai is no longer involved.

Some people also say that Miss Shi is the most beautiful woman in Daye, how could she be jealous of Princess Fule? But this statement was quickly slapped in the face. The reason is that Prince Aipo heard that Miss Shi was the most beautiful woman, so he wanted to marry her as his princess. Who knew that at the banquet, he actually called Princess Fule Miss Shi.

What does this mean?

It shows that in the eyes of Prince Aipo, the real number one beauty is Princess Fule, not Miss Shi.

Someone asked again, why did everyone previously agree that Miss Shi was the most beautiful woman in the world?

Smart people said that it must be because Miss Shi can attract men. It is said that even Princess Fule's second fiancé was seduced by Miss Shi.

So in this version of the story, there is no such thing as the brothel girl Yun Niang.

All kinds of love, hate, and **** grievances are enough to be compiled into a million-word storybook in the mouths of the people in the capital, and the plots are not repetitive. It is said that in some teahouses, storytellers have adapted the story based on this incident, and have made a lot of reward money from these stories.

Shi Chonghai was so angry with these rumors that he couldn't bear it, so he ran to Emperor Yunqing to complain and complain. However, not everyone could get benefits like Ban Hua, just by complaining to the emperor.

This time, the emperor did not look at the prince's face and protect the reputation of the Shi family, but reprimanded him in front of the ministers.

It was said that he was lax in raising his children, had a lazy and lax attitude, etc. Although he was not directly convicted, his face was completely lost.

Shi Chonghai had not lost such dignity for a long time. When he went to court, his legs were shaking. He relied on the support of two colleagues before he sat in the sedan.

Xie Wanyu listened to the palace people talking about the embarrassment of the Shi family. He smiled and sat in front of the bronze mirror and gently traced his raised eyebrows: "What's so happy about it? Your Majesty also likes the prince more. Even if the Shi family is temporarily let go, If the family is embarrassed, we will not touch their roots. The most we can do is watch the excitement."

Seeing that although her words were cold, the palace people still had a smile on her face, they immediately understood and continued: "Princess, you don't know something. What Miss Shi Er said outside is very unpleasant. If this slave had been arranged like this, he would have died of shame and anger long ago."

"Oh?" Xie Wanyu put down his eyebrows and turned to look at the palace people, "What are the people outside saying?"

The palace servants picked out some rumors suitable for telling in the palace. After telling Xie Wanyu, she seemed to be in a good mood and added: "I heard that she even asked Cheng Anbo in front of her why she would rather marry Princess Fule. Such a woman, but I don’t want to look at her more.”

Xie Wanyu seemed to be smiling but not smiling: "How did Cheng Anbo answer?"

"Cheng Anbo said that in his eyes, Miss Shi is the same as other women in the capital." The palace man frowned, "This probably means that Miss Shi has no special meaning?"

"No," Xie Wanyu chuckled, "What this means is that she was never in his eyes from beginning to end."

Cheng Anbo is very alienated from women. She has never seen him get particularly close to any woman. The only time she saw him was when he and Banhua walked side by side in the snow at His Majesty's Wanshou Ceremony. The atmosphere made her feel like she would be making a huge mistake if she went out to sabotage them.

She has never been so lucky as today. That day she chose to remain silent instead of telling Shi Feixian what happened.

Didn’t Shi Feixian think that she was so charming that all men in the world would bow to her? She wanted to see how many men were really willing to bend down for her at this point. She took out a delicate flower from the thin porcelain vase, reached out and pinched the petals on the corolla, and giggled.

"What are you laughing at?" Jiang Luo walked into the room and saw Xie Wanyu sitting in front of the dressing table, so he lazily leaned back on the chair, "In a few days it will be Duke Cheng Guo's birthday. Remember to prepare. Birthday gift."

Xie Wanyu let go of his hand, and the petals still fell to the ground. Then he wiped the flower juice on his palm with a handkerchief, lowered his eyelids and said, "Your Highness, since it is your grandpa's birthday, you have to go in person to be sincere."

"I know this, I don't need you to teach me," Jiang Luo said a little impatiently, "Just prepare the birthday gifts and then go out with me."

He likes beauty. After marrying Xie Wanyu, he always felt that her appearance was not beautiful enough, so the two of them did not have **** often. Seeing Xie Wanyu's long hair shawl now, he suddenly became a little more interested, so he walked to her and said, "Wanyu is very beautiful today."

"Really?" Xie Wanyu looked up at Jiang Luo and said with a smile, "Maybe it's because I'm in a good mood."

"Then you should smile more on weekdays." Jiang Luo stepped forward and gently grabbed her hand.

When the palace attendants saw this, they bowed their heads and retreated silently.

Three days later, the four assassins who assassinated Duke Jingting were sentenced to beheading, but Shi Feixian was still imprisoned in the prison of Dali Temple.

The princess cried and begged in front of the prince for several days, and her eyes were swollen from crying. She repeatedly emphasized that this matter was definitely not the fault of her sister. The Shi family was loyal to His Majesty and could not be involved with King Hui's old tribe, let alone arrange for such a gangster to assassinate Duke Jingting. This must have been framed by others.

The prince was so moved by her crying that he went to Dayue Palace to plead with the Shi family in front of Emperor Yunqing.

"Prince," Emperor Yun Qing looked at the prince with disappointment in his tone, "you are the prince of our great cause and the future emperor, not the son-in-law of the Shi family."

Even though the prince had a somewhat meek personality, he knew that what Emperor Yun Qing said was not a good idea. He quickly apologized and said, "Father, I have no other intentions. I just feel that this case is very suspicious and should be carefully examined. Please think twice." ."

"How are you sure that this omission was not intentional by the Shi family?" Emperor Yun Qing said expressionlessly, "They deliberately invited gangsters to do it. If the matter was exposed, it would make people think that this was a deliberate attempt to frame the Shi family. . Because how could the Prime Minister’s Mansion not even be able to hire a killer, but a few gangsters?”

"But don't forget, even if these are just a few unworthy gangsters, if Duke Jingting hadn't turned around by chance, they would have succeeded by now," Emperor Yun Qing threw away the ink pen in his hand and cursed angrily. He said, "The eldest princess even lost her life to save me. Now these people want to assassinate my aunt's only son. How could they ever take me seriously?!"

Seeing that Emperor Yunqing was so angry, the prince lifted his robe and knelt down: "Please calm down my father, I have no intention of doing so."

"Calm down your anger?" Emperor Yun Qing looked at the top of the prince's head and felt that his anger was getting stronger. "How do you want me to calm down? That is your aunt's only son. You don't care about them and instead go to replace Shi My family begs for mercy. When you said this, were you worthy of your great-aunt?"

"Father," the prince said in fear, his head on the ground, "I am not dissatisfied with Duke Jingting at all. In my eyes, Duke Jingting is my half relative, how can he be so ruthless?" , please father, please take a closer look."

"As a prince, you actually listened to the words of the woman in the back house. How can you let me trust you to hand over the country to you?" Emperor Yunqing waved his hand dejectedly, "Please step back and think carefully, whether you should do it today or not?" You should come to plead for the Shi family."

After the prince confessed, he retreated in panic, not daring to mention the Shi family again.

Seeing the prince shrink back like this, Emperor Yun Qing felt even more disappointed. If the prince argued for the Shi family, he would look down on the prince. But the prince backed down after just being scolded by him for a few words. How could he become the emperor of a country if he had no courage?

But when he thought about his reckless second son, Emperor Yunqing was even more upset. The prince was indecisive at best, and the second son was simply brainless. If this country was handed over to the second son, sooner or later the world would be in chaos.

In the early years, he suffered a lot because his father favored his concubines, so after he ascended the throne, he ignored them. Who knew that these two legitimate sons were so disappointing.

Emperor Yun Qing shook his body, his eyes were a little dark, and he barely supported the imperial court so that no one would notice anything strange.

Recently, he has been experiencing symptoms of dizziness from time to time. Even if he asked the imperial physician to check his pulse, the imperial physician could not tell anything. He only said that he was exhausted and needed to rest.

Retreat?

As an emperor, how can he rest in peace?

Thinking of those things in his early years and his aunt who died for him, Emperor Yun Qing sighed. Could it be that this was God's retribution for him?

Although the news that the prince had been reprimanded by the emperor did not spread, the atmosphere in the East Palace was not good. The princess was in a bad mood, and the prince stayed in the study all day, neither going to the princess's room nor his concubine's room. How could they feel at ease as servants?

The princess didn't expect that she just asked the prince to help her plead for mercy. After the prince went to Dayue Palace, he ignored her. Her cold husband and her mother's family were in trouble. The troubles on both sides made her feel very tormented. She fell asleep with tears on her pillow almost every night.

If this matter is just a matter of jealousy, it happens to involve King Hui’s old subordinates. People outside the palace didn't know, but she knew very well in her heart who sent the assassin who stabbed the eldest princess to death. If their family cannot clear their name, in His Majesty's eyes, it will be tantamount to colluding with King Hui.

What benefits can their family gain from being involved with a prince who wants to rebel but fails?

"Did the Crown Prince stay in the study room last night?" The Crown Princess looked at herself in the mirror and rubbed the corners of her eyes carefully, feeling that she seemed quite haggard.

"Back to the Crown Princess... The Crown Prince did not go to other concubines last night."

The Crown Princess smiled bitterly upon hearing this. It would be better if he went to the concubine's room, but he slept in the study instead. Is he blaming her, or is he expressing his attitude towards the Shi family?

"Arrange for someone to prepare a generous gift and deliver it to Duke Jingting's residence." The Crown Princess stood up and looked at the trees with little sprouts sprouting out of the window. If the Ban family was willing to relent, the Shi family still had room to turn. The Ban family behaved arrogantly and recklessly, and I'm afraid they didn't even know about Prince Hui's attempt to rebel. As long as the Ban family relaxed, His Majesty would not openly embarrass the Shi family even if he was dissatisfied.

This way the Shi family can at least get a moment of respite.

Soon, the generous gifts prepared by the East Palace were delivered to the Ban family in the name of the prince.

Looking at the house full of jewelry, medicinal materials, calligraphy and paintings, etc., the Ban family felt a little confused. Is Donggong planning to move the warehouse to their house?

Originally they wanted to ask a few more questions, but they didn't know that the people from the East Palace dropped their things and left, not even daring to accept the purses they gave. Their frightened look made the Ban family couldn't help but wonder, could they be a scourge? ?

"I'm afraid this is not a gift from the prince." Yin looked at the gift list, "Although the prince is careful, he is not careful enough."

There are some things that only women in the back house would notice. How could the prince think of preparing these things.

"Is it the Crown Princess?" Banhua immediately reacted, "The Crown Princess wants to use this to show goodwill to our family?"

"What's the use of her showing goodwill to our family?" Mrs. Yin put down the gift list, "Now the matter is not just a grudge between the Shi family and our family, but a partisan dispute in the court. The Crown Princess thinks our family is a fool I still haven’t seen any good things, so if I take these things, will I beg for mercy from the Shi family?”

"What should I do with these things?" Ban Heng asked, "Should I send them back to her?"

"Since this is a surprise gift from the prince to your father, let's keep it well," Yin said with a chuckle, "Does this have anything to do with the Shi family?"

The things will be accepted as usual, as for the others?

I'm sorry, the people in their family are not very smart and can't understand things that are too complicated.

"Tomorrow, when you go into the palace to thank the prince, just say thank you for the surprise gift," Yin said to Ban Heng, "Do you understand?"

Ban Heng suddenly realized: "Yes, my son understands."

Even if this gift was not from the prince, they still wanted to make it look like it was from the prince.

After hesitating for a long time, Banhua raised her head and looked at Yin: "Mother, is this... really done by the Shi family?"

"It doesn't matter whether it's the Shi Family or not," Yin sighed and gently touched the top of Banhua's head, "What matters is that Your Majesty thinks it was done by the Shi Family."

Banhua fell silent and said after a moment: "But, I don't want to let go of the person behind the scenes." Thinking that something had almost happened to her father, she felt inexplicably angry.

What happens in the court is other people's business, but what happens in the Ban family is her business.

Yin sneered: "Who said we should let it go?"

These people all regard the Ban family as fools, but who can really bully them?

Cheng Amber Mansion.

A middle-aged man in extremely ordinary clothes strode into the study and came to Rong Xia, "Uncle, we found out!"

"Say."

"Thank you, Mr. Xie, Chongjin!"

"He?" Rong Xia's eyebrows moved, "When did the Xie family become so capable?"

The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment: "My subordinates discovered that another team of His Majesty's secret agents seemed to have a hand in this matter."

"Is it before or after the attack on Duke Jingting?"

"After the attack."

Rong Xia snorted with unknown meaning after hearing this: "It seems that his heart is not cruel enough."

"Uncle, do you need my subordinates to bring the doubts to light?"

Rong Xia stood quietly in front of the window and said after a long time: "No need."

He put his clean and white hands on the window lattice and listened to the chirping of a bird outside the window: "Arrange the troops to protect Princess Fule and don't let her have the slightest accident. In addition, don't let Ban Family members are involved in these things."

"Left and right... they can't help much."

"Yes!" The middle-aged man had a strange look on his face, but he quickly lowered his head.

The former military commanders behind the Ban family are all rare contacts, how could they not be able to help?

What does uncle mean by this?
