Chapter 428 Confess to the Eldest Princess
"What did Xu Wei promise you? Could it be that he took me as a bargaining chip to pull you into the water?" Xu Jiao interrupted him suddenly, his eyes were clear and lingering, as if he was holding the moonlight in the sky, bright and clean, But being looked at by such a pair of eyes seems to be able to penetrate all the filth in the bottom of my heart, making people's selfish distractions invisible.

Chen Su suddenly felt ashamed of himself, and lowered his face, "That's not the case."

"If it wasn't like this, it would be the best, then it would be a misunderstanding! I thank Captain Chen for his appreciation, but you and I are not suitable, so don't mention this matter again in the future. Let me leave." Xu Jiao smiled slightly, took the words, followed the trend, and when he finished speaking, he nodded slightly towards Chen Su, then turned around resolutely, and walked away without any hesitation or stagnation.

Both Negative Xue and Wen Tao gave Chen Su a secret look at the same time, and then hurriedly followed.

The young man in armor watched Xu Jiao leave with a sense of loss, and stood there in the cold wind for a long, long time.
"A little captain dares to offend the princess. We're going to write a letter to inform you about this today, right?" Wen Tao gritted her teeth and cursed, then suddenly raised her head and said to Xu Jiao.In fact, when he entered the palace yesterday, he bumped into Captain Chen, and his staring eyes at the princess made Wen Tao feel vigilant, and she wanted to file a complaint. What she said just now could only show that her premonition was wrong. Wrong, and such a big matter, naturally cannot be kept from the gentleman.

"Tell him what to do? It's just a small episode, and there will be no follow-up. He is far away from the emperor. Telling him is nothing but worrying him, needless to say." Xu Jiao said without thinking, Ruo Mo Chuo He was right in front of her, she was afraid that she would somehow change the way to let him know about it, make him jealous, even if he had a sense of crisis, she might treat her better.But the mountains are so high and the rivers are so far away, if he knew about it, Xu Jiao might disturb his mood. Now that the situation in the grassland is not known, she is really afraid that he will be distracted by her.

Alas, she used to be such a heartless and selfish person, but now she has learned to consider others.Is this the difference between being sincere and not?
Feeling deeply in his heart, Xu Jiao repeated uneasy, "Wen Tao, you heard what I told you? If you dare to write a letter in private and let me know, I will punish you severely. ,Did you hear me?"

Wen Tao struggled for a while, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Yes, we all listen to the princess."

That's about the same, Xu Jiao was finally satisfied, raised the corners of his lips into a smile, turned his head and glanced at the brocade box that she handed to Neg Xue just now, and raised his eyebrows, "I'll keep this thing when I go back." Get up, and return it to Xu Yi when the day is right." Also return her "kindness" to her.

Raising his head, Xu Jiao was taken aback for a moment, because there were a few people walking quickly in front of him, and it was the eldest princess who was surrounded by several maidservants. Xu Jiao suppressed his thoughts for a while, and walked forward and said, "Mother, so It's late, why did you come out?"

"You know it's so late, don't you come out too?" The eldest princess replied in a deep voice, while speaking, she raised her eyes to look behind Xu Jiao, Xu Jiao's heart skipped a beat, and she also looked behind her , but fortunately, there was no one there anymore, and while she was relieved, she asked with some doubts, "What is mother looking at?"

"I was looking to see if you came to meet someone secretly." The eldest princess replied very simply, while talking, her gaze was fixed on Xu Jiao's face.

Xu Jiao's complexion changed slightly, "Is mother suspicious of me? I don't know why mother suspects me?"

"That depends on what you have hidden from me."

Xu Jiao froze, and the mother and daughter were relatively silent. After a while, Xu Jiao sighed, "Let's go back and talk!"

The eldest princess looked at her deeply for a moment, as if she was weighing whether she was stalling for time again. After a long while, she looked away, took Xu Jiao's hand, and walked away.

Xu Jiao tightened her hand, and quietly let out a big breath of relief.

When she returned to Anfu Palace, the eldest princess went to the queen mother first, but the candles in the inner hall had already been extinguished. Rachel stood by the door and bowed to the eldest princess, "The empress dowager is very tired. When His Majesty left, she rested."

The Eldest Princess looked behind her and nodded, "Do you know how the Queen Mother talked with Your Majesty?"

"This servant girl doesn't know, but His Majesty looked calm when he left, and the Empress Dowager didn't seem to be worried, but she fell asleep after a while." Rachel, who treats old people by the Empress Dowager's side, naturally knows how to reply, just Tell what you see, and the rest is naturally for the listener to think for themselves.

The eldest princess frowned and thought for a moment, then turned around and took Xu Jiao away without saying anything.

After returning to the side hall, the eldest princess was not in a hurry to ask any questions, she asked Xue Jiao to wait for Xu Jiao to wash, and she went to wash herself, and when the mother and daughter were lying side by side on the couch like last night, the eldest princess Only then said in a low tone, "Can we talk now?"

The light on the couch with the hanging curtain was dim, Xu Jiao opened his eyes and looked at the top of the tent, thinking it was good, maybe in such an environment, it would be easier to say those difficult words?
But... where to start?Xu Jiao thought for a while, and then said softly, "I'm not the real Jing Yue..."

It's not that difficult to start. Xu Jiao talked about the Pingnan Palace, about being almost buried in a sea of ​​fire, and about being almost buried in a fish's belly, and about how she was rescued by Mrs. Zhao and became Jingyue by mistake, and it was a coincidence Became the owner of Yingyue Princess... Xu Jiao felt that his life for more than two years was really a legend.

"A child from the Pingnan Palace's family..." In the dim light, the eldest princess seemed to turn her head to look at her. She couldn't see the expression on her face clearly, and couldn't hear any obvious happiness or anger from her tone, " Bengong really didn't expect... Bengong has never felt obvious hatred from you, or is it that you actually hate, but..."Too good at hiding?

The eldest princess didn't say the latter words, but Xu Jiao understood, her heart thumped, but she was also a little ashamed. When she passed through, the Pingnan Palace was gone. For her biological parents, and the revenge of killing relatives and destroying the family, Xu Jiao really couldn't empathize with her.But she really hates Emperor Xian, but not for Pingnan Palace, and she is really good at disguising, but these words... how easy to say?
Xu Jiao was silent for a moment, not wanting to lie to the Eldest Princess again, and only choked out a sentence, "In any case, from the beginning to the end, I never hated my mother." This is the truth, without any falsehood.

The eldest princess didn't know whether to believe it or not. Anyway, she didn't bother to continue asking. After a while, she asked again, "So, because of Xu Wei's relationship, Ah Ning looked at you differently?"

Xu Jiao choked, she really didn't want to lie to the eldest princess anymore, hesitated again and again, hesitated again and again, and didn't speak for a long time, the eldest princess knew that there might be other secrets, but she didn't urge her.

I don't know how long it took, it was so long that they thought each other had fallen asleep, Xu Jiao said in a hoarse voice, "It's not because of Xu Wei, in fact, Princess Huiming probably doesn't know that I am from the Pingnan Palace. Xu Jiao. The reason why she treats me differently from others is because "Xu Jiao paused, took a deep breath and then gritted his teeth, "It's because of He Lianshu. He Lianshu is not actually called Helian Shu. He is Mo Chuohe."

After Xu Jiao finished speaking, she didn't hear the eldest princess's words for a long time, and she didn't know whether she was asleep, didn't hear it, or was fainted by her words. "Mother—" she called out in a low voice, but she still didn't hear the answer, and immediately she couldn't sleep well anymore, so she got up to look.

Just when she had just stood up, the eldest princess beside her suddenly said, "So that's the case." There was not much surprise in that tone, she had doubts about Mo Chuohe's identity early in the morning, It's just that I didn't expect that the dignified special agent of Beijie would take the risk alone and come to the Central Plains in person.

Xu Jiao originally thought that the eldest princess would ask her when she knew He Lianshu's real identity. If she didn't speak well, she was usually suspected of collaborating with the enemy in costume dramas. She will not be taken down immediately and punished for treason.In fact, it is not only this point, but the fact that she is a remnant of the Pingnan Palace, from the standpoint of the eldest princess, is also a capital crime.Xu Jiao was very worried, but she didn't regret it much. She really couldn't do it if she wanted to continue cheating.

Since this is the case, then so be it, whether it is life or death, it is up to fate.

The eldest princess was silent for a long time again, and after a while she said hoarsely, "You kept this from me, that's all, right?"

Xu Jiao thought for a while, then hesitated a little and said, "That's all I can tell mother. There is one more thing, but if I tell it, I'm afraid it will embarrass mother." In terms of everything, everything is fatal.She almost entrusted her life to the Eldest Princess, it is impossible for the Eldest Princess not to know.

"Earlier, Li Chongwu took out a secret edict from the first emperor, saying that if the emperor was not benevolent, the Pingnan Palace could take the secret edict to select a worthy person from the clan to replace him. Do you know if this edict is true or not?" The eldest princess pondered for a while, but turned And asked about it.

Xu Jiao couldn't tell whether he should breathe a sigh of relief, hesitated for a moment, and then replied softly, "It is indeed true. That secret edict is the reason why our Pingnan Palace was framed for treason and the whole family was destroyed. "And the secret edict was taken out by her and Xu Yi together, so it cannot be faked.

The eldest princess nodded, only to remember that the light here was dim, and Xu Jiao was afraid she might not be able to see it, so she said again, "Got it, it's late at night, go to sleep!"

Xu Jiao didn't expect the topic to turn so suddenly, and even talked about letting her sleep, she couldn't help being taken aback, even if she didn't kill her right away, there was no criticism session?Just let it go?

"Why, don't you want to sleep? Could it be that I still want Bengong to beat you up first?" the eldest princess asked coldly.

Xu Jiao shook his head quickly, "No, no, no! I'm going to sleep now, I'm going to sleep now." As he spoke, he quickly pulled up the quilt until it was under his eyes, revealing only a pair of eyes that were moving around flexibly in the dark night After a few breaths of silence, Xu Jiao asked hesitantly, "What about you, mother?"

"I still have to think about something, you should go to bed first," said the eldest princess.

Xu Jiao said "Oh" and closed her mouth, but she couldn't close her eyes, her eyes were still rolling around, although the tent was dim, she couldn't see anything.

"Sleep quickly!" The eldest princess suddenly ordered.

Xu Jiao: "Well, she is the only one who can't see anything.

"Don't worry, your mother, I'm not a fool. Even if you know how to act again, I won't be able to sense whether you treat me sincerely or not. And as I said, you are my daughter and it's not just a casual sentence. You are both My daughter, I want to protect you. Since you can tell me everything today, I am very happy, and I am not angry with you, and you don’t have to worry about moving your head when you wake up tomorrow morning. Sleep peacefully with you It’s just a matter of sleep.” As the princess spoke, she stretched out her hand to tuck the quilt for her, and when she opened her mouth, even the “Ben Gong” that she always called herself was replaced by “I”.

Xu Jiao listened, but laughed, and couldn't help but take the eldest princess's arm, and pressed it tightly, "Mother, you are so kind." She rubbed her arm coquettishly, a little grateful for the The light is dim, no matter how good the eldest princess's eyes are, I'm afraid she can't see the wet corners of her eyes, otherwise, how embarrassing it is!

However, the eldest princess shook the arm she was holding with some disgust, but did not break free, and could not help but whispered, "What are you doing holding me? Sleeping with you by yourself."

"No, I'm going to hold my mother. It's still cold today. I'll be warm if I hold my mother to sleep." Xu Jiao said sweetly and coquettishly.

"You're so delicate." The eldest princess muttered, but she didn't move the arm held by Xu Jiao, and said in a deep voice, "Go to bed when you're warm! If you don't sleep, I'll pick you up and beat you up first." It's over."

Xu Jiao nodded, "Yes", said "Mother's good night", then caught off guard, and slapped the eldest princess on the face. When the eldest princess looked over in shock, she had obediently closed her eyes and fell asleep.

The eldest princess snorted, raised her hand to straighten her bedding again, and said nothing.

Xu Jiao leaned against her, the corners of his mouth slightly curled up.

Xu Jiao originally thought that he had confessed so many things last night, but his heart was full of apprehension and complexity, and he was afraid that he would not be able to fall asleep, but who knew it was actually a dark and sweet pillow, and he slept exceptionally well.When she woke up the next day, it was already broad daylight, and she was the only one left in the tent. The eldest princess didn't know when she got up.

Hearing the movement, Lingxue hurriedly approached, "Is the princess awake?"

Xu Jiao gave a faint "hmm", then asked the eldest princess, "Where is my mother?"

While pulling up the curtain, Lingxue replied, "I got up early in the morning and went to the main hall."

"Where's grandma? Is it okay?" Xu Jiao sat up and asked.

"There is no one coming from the other side of the main hall, and the night is very peaceful, so I think it will be fine for the time being."

Xu Jiao nodded, and asked Negative Xue to hurry up and wash her up. After getting dressed, she hurried to the main hall.

When she arrived at the main hall, the Empress Dowager had already got up and was dressing up accompanied by the Eldest Princess, and she was also wearing a brand new dress.When Xu Jiao entered, the Eldest Princess was holding a wooden comb to smooth the Empress Dowager's hair, and on the neatly combed bun, a head of red gold inlaid with emeralds was shining brightly.
