The peasant girl who escaped the desert: she cried when she found the cruel prince

Chapter 458 She doesn’t remember me

Three days later, a piece of news spread throughout the streets.

Because the majestic Princess Changling was reluctant to give her 5000 taels of silver to her grandmother, she asked her personal guards to pretend to be bandits and robbed her family and even killed her grandmother.

"Grandma, is the princess really so cruel that you dare to kill your own grandmother?" Baguio asked the old concubine.

Bijun said from the side: "Impossible, I see that the princess is not that kind of person!"

Princess Thailand scolded: "You have only met her once, how can you conclude that she is not that kind of person?"

Bijun pouted and said, "I'm sure I'm not wrong. The princess is a person with a high vision at first glance. There's no need to argue with that villain, so naturally she won't do something like this!"

The old concubine smiled and nodded: "What Bijun said makes sense. It's not necessarily the princess who did this. It's really not necessary."

"I've heard that her natal family has a lot of talented people, and they make wine and paper. Recently, I heard that a printing factory has also started operating. It is said that hundreds of books can be printed out in one day. I would like to come to my home. There is no shortage of money, so there is no need to kill people for this little money."

"That's true!" Princess Tai also nodded: "The late emperor left in a hurry that day, and many things in the palace treasury were not taken away. They all went to King Changling. It is impossible that he could not get out even 5000 taels."

"Then who killed the princess's grandmother?" Baguio asked puzzled.

The old concubine looked at the smoke rising from the incense burner, her thoughts a little vague and said: "This matter is difficult to talk about!"

"After all, there are too many people who have to deal with the princess. With so many people watching that day, there must be someone who has her own thoughts!"

Bijun snorted coldly: "What a bunch of idiots, with so much gold and silver. The world is in such chaos now. It's strange that people don't envy them!"

Things got worse and worse later on, and many officials in the DPRK and the Central Government accused Princess Changling of being too sinister, even to the point of not sparing her own grandmother.

In the study room of the Wei family.

The great scholar of Wei was swiping his brush and ink, as if he knew nothing about external affairs.

Song Dingming said anxiously: "Brother Ze Ling, this witch actually wants to kill even her own grandmother. If she doesn't stop her, I'm afraid she will be worse than the eldest princess in the future!"

Academician Wei smiled calmly and said: "Brother Song, you and I were colleagues in the past. No matter what, I have to say something about this matter."

"But now! As a white person, what qualifications do I have to criticize the princess!"

Song Dingming was furious: "Ze Ling has always been a role model for scholars in the world. When scholars see injustice, they should stand up."

"Now, Brother Ze Ling wants to push this matter away because he has no official rank. Is this still the same Wei Ze Ling who used to talk about right and wrong whenever there is an injustice?"

"This moment is another moment, Brother Song!" Wei Zeling put away the pen in his hand and washed it in the pen wash basin: "Now I am over forty years old, and I have been dismissed several times."

"I also dragged several disciples to keep filial piety for the late emperor," Wei Zeling sighed: "Now, my morale has declined, but I am just struggling for the sake of my family."

Song Dingming advised earnestly: "Brother Ze Ling, that witch just succeeded for a moment. It is time to take advantage of the fact that King Changling is not in Chang'an to kill this witch in one fell swoop."

"Otherwise, when King Changling comes back, this witch has become a phenomenon. If the period of filial piety has passed and she has an heir, how can she be killed by then?"

Wei Zeling seemed a little moved, but still hesitated and said: "Brother Song, please be patient for a moment. Please let me think about it again!"

"Hey! I didn't expect that you, Wei Zeling, have become so timid now." Song Dingming was so angry that he walked away.

Wei Zeling looked as usual and spread out a piece of white paper again.

Wei Lin asked Academician Wei: "Father, why don't you want to help Uncle Song?"

Wei Zeling sneered: "He is just a foolhardy man, why should I stand in the same boat with him!" "Then my father wants to"

"Just wait and see, Chang'an City is going to be lively!" The paperweight was pushed away, and a drop of ink stained the paper.

Jingli came back from the textile factory and had just sat down before taking a breath.

Dezi hurriedly came in and reported: "Your Majesty, there is a boy coming outside. He wants to see your Majesty and has something important to report. I can't drive him away!"

"Who is it?" Jing Li picked up a piece of pear and stuffed it into her mouth. It was too hot today, and the pear had been chilled. It couldn't be more comfortable to eat at noon.

Dezi had a strange look on his face: "That's the boy who made rude remarks to the empress in Donglaixuan that day!"

"The boy from Donglaixuan?" Jingli thought hard for a long time, but couldn't remember who it was.

Finally, he said: "You call me in, and I'll see who it is!"

Song Qingyu entered the palace of Prince Changling, walked through the nine-curved corridor, and finally met Princess Changling at the edge of the lotus pond filled with green leaves.

She leaned lazily on the soft pavilion, and the roses outside the pavilion sneaked into the pavilion, making her face extremely beautiful.

Picking up a grape with her slender hands, she slowly put it into the slightly opened mouth of the sandalwood tree.

As his little mouth squirmed, Song Qingyu couldn't help but swallow, feeling that the secretion of saliva in his mouth accelerated.

"Who are you?" Jing Li took the silk handkerchief on the side, wiped the corners of her mouth, and took care of her fingers slowly.

Song Qingyu was shocked, the princess didn't remember who he was?

He was in Donglaixuan that day, in front of so many people, and insulted him so unpleasantly that the princess actually doesn't remember him now.

Song Qingyu felt a sense of loss in his heart, and he couldn't tell whether the princess couldn't remember him. Is this a blessing or a misfortune?

Dezi saw that this boy had a dull look on his face since he came in and saw the princess, and his heart suddenly became angry: "Boy, didn't you just say that you have something to tell the princess?"

When Song Qingyu came back to his senses, he saw the sisters Dezi and Caichun looking at him with slightly angry expressions. His heart suddenly froze, and he immediately said to Jingli: "Mother, I have something important to report to you, can you please step aside?"

When these words came out, Dezi, Caichun and others became even more angry.

Who are you, just a prostitute, but you actually want to be alone with the empress, looking at everyone as if you don’t know who you are.

Jing Li sneered: "Do you think my reputation is not bad enough?"

"Gossips about me are spread every day in Chang'an City. Some people say that I am reincarnated as a fox, some say that I am a rooster like Si Chen, and some say that I am a witch who has brought disaster to the country."

"What's the matter? You still want to give me a chance to have a private meeting with a foreign man in the palace to make my reputation as charming?"

Song Qingyu's face instantly turned pale: "I definitely don't dare to do this!"

"It doesn't matter!" Jing Li said with a leisurely smile: "You are just scholars like you. You don't like me and you can't kill me, so you deliberately find some excuse to slander me!"

"But I'm not one of those women who will live and die because of a little rumor. Even if you tell the truth, I won't take it seriously!"

At the end of Jingli's words, her tone was a bit grim: "So, you'd better have something important to do and don't give me a reason or opportunity to take action!"

Song Qingyu was so frightened that his legs weakened and he knelt down in the tunnel and said, "I overheard my father and others being disrespectful towards the princess!"
