Chapter 364: Don't Be a Substitute for the Twins 6
"Lu Changze, it was clearly you who pushed me into the lake."
"You resent me for hitting you, and you are taking revenge on me."
Zhou Lingyan stood up, looking like a drowned rat, his face flushed with anger.
"Again, where is the evidence?" Lu Changze asked lightly.
Xiao Keyan's eyes lingered between the two of them for a moment, then glanced at a servant. The servant immediately understood what he meant, stepped forward and said:
"Your Highness, I just happened to pass by and saw that Master Zhou fell down because he was trying to pick lotus flowers from the lake."
When the servant said this, Zhou Lingyan and Lu Changze were both stunned.
"You're talking nonsense. It was Lu Changze who bribed you, right? You are a servant in the Princess's Mansion, and you were bribed by someone. You're a traitor." Zhou Lingyan said as he was about to step forward to hit him, but was quickly controlled by the people behind Xiao Keyan.
"That's enough, stop making trouble." Xiao Keyan interrupted the farce in a cold voice, "My people are not likely to be bribed. This matter ends here. If you continue to cause trouble, don't blame me for being rude."
"Princess..." Zhou Lingyan called out desperately.
But Xiao Keyan didn't even look at him, just turned around and left with Lu Changze.
"The eldest princess?"
After returning to his own yard, Lu Changze couldn't help feeling guilty when facing Xiao Keyan, whose expression suddenly turned cold.
He was penniless, and everything he had was given by Xiao Keyan. Of course, he had no money to bribe servants.
The servant gave false testimony, obviously under orders from Xiao Keyan.
And Xiao Keyan asked the servant to say that. Has she realized that it was him who pushed Zhou Lingyan down?
"I know you don't like him. You can do whatever you want to him, but if you can't make him shut up completely, it's best not to act rashly, otherwise you will get yourself into trouble. Do you understand?"
"Your Highness?" Lu Changze was very excited.
Not only did Xiao Keyan not punish him, he didn't even say that he was wrong. Instead, he taught him how to do it.
"Of course, even if you don't do well, it's okay to leave some tails. I will help you clean it up."
Xiao Keyan stroked Lu Changze's face, stared into his clear black and white eyes, and continued: "But if you are outside, you have to be careful. After all, not everyone is like me and will work hard to clean up for you."
"I know that His Highness treats me the best. No one else would be so good to me except His Highness."
Lu Changze nodded with emotion, and looking at Xiao Keyan's beautiful face, he became more and more obsessed.
If Yun Yi was here and saw Xiao Keyan's series of tactics, he would know that she was PUAing Lu Changze.
However, Lu Changze was not aware of this at all. Instead, he was immersed in Xiao Keyan's gentle vortex and couldn't extricate himself.
Half a month later, the Wen State delegation arrived at the capital of the Xiao State.
Everyone stayed in the inn, preparing to go to the court to meet the Emperor of Xiao tomorrow.
'Boom boom boom...'
After nightfall, Yun Yi quietly knocked on the door of a room and entered after getting permission.
"Greetings to His Majesty the Fourth Prince."
"No need to be so polite." Wen Chang looked at the young man in front of him, who was wearing a moon-white robe, a jade crown on his head, and had a handsome appearance.
He stood there with a smile on his lips, looking so elegant that you couldn't tell he was a farmer's son at all.
"We will go to the Xiao Kingdom Palace tomorrow. According to the latest news, Lu Changze is currently in the residence of Princess Xiao Keyan." Wen Chang said after taking a sip of tea.
"I just don't know why he stayed in the mansion obediently and showed no intention of leaving." Wen Chang looked puzzled. "Could it be that he was so happy with the beauty of the eldest princess that he didn't want to leave?"
It's not that he's so happy that he doesn't want to leave, it's just that he has lost his memory.
Of course, Yun Yi did not say this to Wen Chang.
Wen Chang did not dwell on this question. He looked at Yun Yi and asked the question he had always wanted to ask: "You chose to tell me the truth. Aren't you afraid that I will reveal the matter between you and your Yong'an Marquis Mansion?"
"Since I have chosen Your Highness, I will naturally tell you everything I know." Yun Yi said with a smile.
"Marquis Yong'an made the wrong choice back then. He has been neglected by His Majesty for many years. Although he is a marquis in name, his actual power is not even as good as that of a county magistrate. But I believe that I have better vision than him."
Yun Yi is well aware of how the plot will develop, and the Fourth Prince in front of him will be the ultimate winner in the fight for the throne.
Wen Chang smiled. Even he himself did not have much confidence in the future. Among so many brothers, it was too risky for Yun Yi to choose him.
But since Yun Yi is willing to gamble, he, who is already at the gambling table, would of course like to have as many chips as possible on his side.
"The spy reported that Lu Changze was living in the Princess's residence under his original name. This shows that the Princess must have known his identity and doted on him very much. She ordered someone to make new clothes for him and is preparing to take him to the palace banquet tomorrow night."
Yun Yi raised his eyebrows slightly. The plot only said that Lu Changze developed feelings for Xiao Keyan during the period of amnesia, but did not explicitly say that Xiao Keyan knew Lu Changze's identity.
But if Xiao Keyan knew Lu Changze's identity, then she would definitely know that the 'Lu Changze' among the Wen State envoys was a fake.
But it's better this way, it makes it easier for him to do his own thing.
-
The next morning, the fourth prince of Wen State, Wen Chang, led a delegation to meet the Emperor of Xiao State.
The war between the two countries had just ended, and there were constant verbal battles in the court, but it had never reached the point of being on the verge of a showdown.
Yun Yi just followed the other envoys and kept a very low profile throughout the whole process.
After meeting the Emperor of Xiao, the delegation went to the inn to rest and prepare to attend the palace banquet in the evening.
When leaving the palace, Yun Yi looked back.
At a glance, he saw the woman standing on the city wall.
The woman was wearing a red dress with fluttering sleeves. She looked casually down with an arrogant look that looked down on everyone.
Xiao Keyan, Yun Yi guessed her identity at a glance.
Similarly, Xiao Keyan also saw Yun Yi.
I guessed that Yun Yi and Lu Changze might look similar, otherwise they would not be able to deceive those people from Wen State, but when I saw the identical faces with my own eyes, I couldn't help but be surprised.
Is it the rumored human skin mask?
She has met many quacks over the years and made many human skin masks, but none was as realistic as this one.
But if it weren't for the human skin masks, are there really two people in the world who look so similar?
After all, Xiao Keyan had never been to Wen State. He only knew that Lu Changze was the eldest son of the Yong'an Marquis's Mansion, but he didn't know that his twin brother was abducted fifteen years ago.
So I never thought about having twins.
"Princess, everything is ready." The maid came over and reported.
Xiao Keyan nodded, and a curve appeared on her rosy lips.
From the information she received, the Wen State delegation did not know that Lu Changze was a fake.
If it was exposed in public at the palace banquet, the envoys from the Wen Kingdom would definitely look very unhappy.
