At that time, he had ordered Thirteen to investigate the matter of the leakage of the silver tael, and after several rounds of investigation, he found out about the body of the silver tael. After being frightened, the latter asked about the matter.

After a long silence, Zhao Pingqing said, "Your highness has been keeping an eye on me?"

Dongfang Zhi snorted lightly. "I'm not in the mood for this. You're the one who overdid things. Not only are you investigating this king's affairs, you even want to use Princess Consort's hand to cause trouble."

Zhao Pingqing clenched her sour teeth and quibbled, "Princess, you have gone too far. I can't do anything."

Dongfang Shou sarcastically said, "What a great saying that should not be used. To be able to push things away with a single sentence. Truly good at speaking."

Zhao Pingqing raised her face and said with tears in his eyes, "Is it that once I make a mistake, I will become an unforgivable scoundrel in your eyes? You won't believe a word I say, will you?"

"You've made more than one mistake," said Eastern Trail expressionlessly.

Zhao Pingqing was excited. "Yes, I asked the cuckoo to ask about it at Baoheng's silver bugle, but that shouldn't be the case." "For the sake of Princess Xuanji, not only did the Prince empty all the silver from the accounting room, he also pawned thirty thousand taels of silver from the silver number with the deed to the house. When the Prince was doing these things, did he ever think about me, or the several hundred people in the mansion?"

"Are you criticizing This King?"

Zhao Pingqing forced herself to meet Dongfang Qin's cold eyes. She said, "I don't dare to. I just think it is unfair." After a pause, she said, "As for Prince, you said I was using Princess Consort to cause trouble, but I've never done that before."

Dongfang Yi lifted his hand and caressed that pale green face. Whether it was his fingers or Zhao Pingqing's face, they were both as cold as ice spears in winter, without a trace of warmth. "You don't have the right to question me about my actions. Since this duke marries you as my secondary wife, I will treat you as one of my secondary wives. However, the condition is that you remember your identity, not to think about things that don't belong to you, and not to interfere in things that have nothing to do with you. is forcing This King. "

He was threatening her now. Zhao Pingqing was sure that Dongfang Gu knew more than she could ever imagine. She suspected that Dongfang Gu knew everything about her, yet... If that was really the case, then why did he still want to marry her? There was really no way to explain it.

Zhao Pingqing bowed and touched her forehead to the floor. She spoke with difficulty, "I …" Remember His Highness's orders! "

"It's good that you remember." Her voice had returned to its usual gentleness, as if nothing had happened at all. However, in the end, Zhao Pingqing would never forget what had just happened. It was at this moment that she began to fear Dongfang Qing.

"If Consort Ping doesn't have any objections, then the marriage for the cuckoo will be decided. The shop assistant is still waiting at the South Pavilion. Tell the cuckoo to pack her things. Cai Yuan will come to pick her up in an hour."

"Also, since the cuckoo is married, it is no longer a member of King Rui's household. This King does not want the concubine to have anything to do with her in the future." After leaving these two sentences, Dongfang Wenyi left the west yard. After he left, Zhao Pingqing's legs went weak and she sat on the cold floor. There was a look of fear and terror in her eyes that hadn't appeared in eighteen years.

After an unknown period of time, she propped herself up in the chair, her hands trembling as she took the dragon eyes from the fruit plate and peeled them one by one. But every time, before she could peel even half of them, her round dragon eyes would slip away from her trembling fingers and roll to the edge of the table, falling to the ground.

The cuckoo and the purple swallow wanted to go ask Zhao Pingqing. But when they came in, they saw that the floor was covered with dragon eyes. Zhao Pingqing looked pale and defeated.

The two of them rushed over to Zhao Pingqing and asked nervously, "Lady, what happened to you?" What happened? "

Zhao Pingqing didn't care about what she said. He kept peeling the dragon's eye until one of them was completely ripped off. He couldn't wait to stuff it into his mouth and then peed it in again.

Ziyan had not seen her spit out a nucleus, and urgently said, "Empress, hurry up and spit it out. You can't swallow that thing."

Zhao Pingqing didn't spit out the cores. Instead, she put another one in his mouth. When she was the third one in the fortress, she quickly took the dragon eye from her hand. "Don't eat it, Your Highness. Your stomach will ache if you have too many of those. What did the Prince say to make you act like this?"

This time, Zhao Pingqing finally reacted. She stared at the cuckoo for a while and suddenly said, "Go and pack your clothes."

The cuckoo was confused by her words, "What are you packing your clothes for?"

"Your clothes."

The cuckoo was confused, "Why are you packing this servant's clothes?"

Zhao Pingqing reached out her sticky hands to grab on to her shoulder. She grabbed so hard that her nails dug into her clothes, but she didn't dare to struggle. She could only frown and say, "My lady, did I do something wrong to make you unhappy?"

Zi Yan was apprehensive. She quietly persuaded, "If there's anything that the cuckoo has done wrong, please slowly scold her. Don't hurt her delicate hands."

Zhao Pingqing slowly let go of her hand and said, "You didn't do anything wrong. On the contrary, it was a good thing."

"A joyous occasion?" The cuckoo repeated the word in confusion. She didn't know where the happiness came from. Zhao Pingqing's god didn't seem to be happy at all.

Zi Yan thought for a moment, then blurted out, "Does Empress want the cuckoo to marry?"

Upon hearing these words, the cuckoo girl was dumbfounded and hurriedly said, "Don't talk nonsense, who are you going to marry?"

Zhao Pingqing finally stopped shaking her hands and said slowly, "Ziyan is right. It is a good thing. You are getting married."

The cuckoo stood there in a daze. She was already twenty years old this year and had never thought about getting married, but she had never expected it to come so suddenly and without any warning. To her, getting married was not a bad thing, but now the situation was not right at all.

Thinking of this, she probed, "Empress, your servant …"

Zhao Pingqing raised her hand and interrupted her. She spoke with a deep voice, "I know what you want to ask. That is what you want. Tonight …" That's why he came. "

"Empress means …" Prince wishes to propose a marriage for this servant? " She had been in the mansion together for only ten days. In front of Dongfang Shou, she was Zhao Pingqing's little girl. That was it. No matter what, she had never thought that Zhao Pingqing would suddenly marry her.
