New·New Consort

The moon is dark and the wind is high, and the lonely Miaozhou government office in the daytime adds a bit of loneliness.

Everything is silent, but the subtle and imperceptible sound of the door pivot is not clear.

A light figure came out of the door and closed the door gently without making any movement.Feng Suzhen fastened the cloth covering her face, and was about to jump up to the eaves——

"Brother Consort, it's such a coincidence that you're also paying respects!" A familiar voice came from the door of the next room.

"..."

Tian Xiang hopped to her side: "Why did Chu Gong change into black clothes?"

"..."

Tian Xiang hooked her shoulder: "Tell me, where are you going? To drink flower wine? Take me with you!"

"..."

Feng Suzhen turned around and retreated into the room, Tianxiang squeezed in through the crack of the door: "Where are you going?"

Feng Suzhen sighed: "Princess, I'm going to do business."

Tian Xiang asked, "Is there any danger?"

"Have."

Tianxiang yawned: "Then don't go."

"...I have to go." Even if it wasn't for the benefit of the emperor, but just for everything her father had endured these years, she had to go.

Tianxiang looked her up and down: "What are you?"

Feng Suzhen didn't know what to do, thinking that the princess has been playing cards out of common sense recently, she pondered: "Is it a person?"

Tianxiang reached out and tapped her plump forehead: "You are an official, you are an official!"

Feng Suzhen said seriously: "Yes, I am an official, and I have a duty, so I should go."

Tianxiang rolled her eyes: "How do you write official characters?"

Feng Suzhen gestured in the air hesitantly.

Tianxiang raised her hand and poked Feng Suzhen's fair forehead again: "The official characters have two mouths, two mouths!"

"..."

This feeling is not bad, Tianxiang continued to poke: "So, a gentleman uses his mouth but not his hands!"

"..."

Tianxiang felt that it was time for her to stop, but she still couldn't hold back, and poked once and for all: "You just need to use your words, and leave the hands-on work to the subordinates, otherwise what kind of official are you? Go to the Miaohe Wharf, You can do whatever you want and earn a dozen or so copper coins a day."

Feng Suzhen held Tianxiang's restless fingers, and said solemnly: "...Princess, it's not that I don't know that the higher-ups are strategizing, so it's not suitable for me to do it myself, but I really lack people here. The emperor only sent me and the prince During this investigation, even Shangfang’s sword is in Wanggong Kilometer. If the name is not correct, if there is no real evidence, the Miaozhou garrison cannot be easily transferred. But I don’t have effective scouts under my command, and those few government soldiers are even more useless. After thinking about it, I can only take the risk myself, and go to that place first to take a look."

She paused for a moment, let go of Tianxiang's hand, and said slowly: "Since Your Majesty has entrusted this matter to me, please also ask the princess to trust me. Although I am not talented, I am still the champion."

She spoke thoughtfully, but her tone was obviously alienated. Tianxiang was startled, knowing that she had overperformed in the past few days, she rolled her eyes, and said carefully: "Feng, you are the number one scholar, and you are more educated than me. Many, good reading, but I have seen more officials than you have eaten rice. Your family background is simple, but all I have seen in the palace since I was a child are intrigues. Don’t think that I was a vegetarian when I was a fool. Not doing it and not being able to do it are two different things.”

Seeing her eagerness to explain, Feng Suzhen couldn't help but smile: "Princess, don't worry, I know that you have a method when you start business, and you are never ambiguous. I'm just ashamed, I'm too young after all."

Tianxiang couldn't figure out what Feng Suzhen was thinking, so she couldn't help being a little anxious, but she could only follow her words and said carelessly: "You are indeed tender, but if you have enough time, I think you will do well. Don't worry, I will Taught you, if there is anything you don’t know, just ask!”

Feng Suzhen smiled and said, "Okay, I will discuss with you first if there is anything to do in the future."

Tianxiang's eyes lit up, and she touched her chin: "If you go out tonight, how sure are you that you can keep yourself safe?"

Feng Suzhen said honestly, "Fifty percent."

Tianxiang tapped the sugar cane in her hand: "You yourself said that 'the son of a thousand gold can't sit still', so you had to make a bad move to make the odds of winning a little bit higher."

"The princess said, what should I do?" Feng Suzhen asked sincerely.

Tianxiang quickly put forward a plan: "For example, let me come over and help you, Smelly Hero."

"..." Feng Suzhen said with a face of righteousness that cannot be discussed, "It is absolutely impossible!"

On the outskirts of Miaozhou, two black shadows landed lightly.

The taller one took a deep breath: "You have to listen to me when you get inside later, don't move around. If you make a move, you should run as fast as you can, and don't show off - remember?"

The little man chuckled: "I see, I see." When Feng Suzhen investigated the Miaozhou case in her previous life, Tian Xiang was still poisoned by Yin Yang Duan Hun San, and sat in the palace in an orderly manner.Although she came here in person later, she made a special trip to add to the confusion. She only saw a few entries on the file, but she was unclear about the specific process of handling the case.Since there was nothing wrong with Feng Suzhen in her previous life, then there shouldn't be any trouble this time, right?

Forget it, just forget about the 20 years of experience in the previous life, and follow Feng Suzhen's impulse for a while!

What did the Westerner from Thailand say?

Impulse is the devil...

When Tianxiang woke up, she saw Feng Suzhen in black lying beside her.Both of them were lying on the red carpet, obviously moved by someone.

She sat up with her hands on her forehead, and after thinking about it for a long time, she finally remembered what happened before she fell into a coma.Not long after the two sneaked into the manor, they were attacked.Those strange lanterns danced and spun in the air, then exploded suddenly, releasing a strange smell.

That's when they passed out.

Tian Xiang waited until her mind cleared up, then raised her head, and was stunned to see a living tiger lying in a cage in front of her!

Feng Suzhen felt a pain in her chest, coughed a few times, and then woke up slowly.Before she fell into a coma, she stood in front of Tianxiang and blocked a rampaging lantern.

She frowned, got up to meditate and adjusted her breath, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, but when she opened her eyes, she almost lost her mind.

The main hall in front of her looks the same as the Golden Luan Hall, it's nothing, she has heard what her father said.

There is a tiger in front of him, it's nothing, after all, that guy is not close at hand.

But what made her feel her heart jumping into her throat was: Tianxiang was squatting by the cage, poking the tiger with sugarcane.

"Hey, Feng, you're awake, come and see, come and see, a live tiger, you haven't seen it before!" Tian Xiang looked overjoyed, poking the tiger to hide in the corner.

It took Feng Suzhen a long time to force out a sentence: "Tianxiang, that's a tiger, a tiger!"

Tianxiang smiled innocently: "I know, I saw it in Liaodong before, but I just took a look at it from a distance. I have never seen it so close!" I have never seen it so close in my two lives This big cat!

Feng Suzhen didn't bother to ask her when she went to "Liaodong". She took a few more deep breaths and re-exercised her kung fu to recuperate her inner breath.She got up calmly and approached Tianxiang, seeing that the tiger was well locked in the cage, and Tianxiang didn't stay long enough to try to open the cage, so she was relieved.

There was a wooden sign next to the cage - "A companion is like a tiger." Feng Suzhen read the sign along the way.

"Hehe." Tianxiang's inexplicable laughter came from his ears.

Before Feng Suzhen could ask a question, a man's voice sounded in the hall: "What is the princess laughing at?"

"I laugh at the master here." Seeing that the tiger had no interest in sugar cane, Tianxiang finally calmed down, stood up, and said to the empty beams and pillars of the hall, "Put a tooth-pulled tiger here, how dare you say it's a companion?" A king is like a tiger. Even if the emperor gets old, he is still the emperor, and the fangs and sharp teeth of the imperial power will never fall out."

The man's low laughter echoed in the air: "How do you know that the tiger's teeth have been pulled out?"

Tianxiang curled her lips in disdain: "The thing looks like a master, this place looks like a fake imperial palace, and you can tell at a glance that the master is a villain, and he dare not rebel if he spends a lot of money on this useless place Such a coward, even if he catches a tiger, even if he keeps it locked in a cage, he will definitely have his teeth pulled out before he dares to keep it by his side."

The man didn't speak for a long time: "Why does the son-in-law keep silent and let the princess steal your limelight?"

Feng Suzhen said indifferently: "Husband and wife are one body. What the princess says is what I want to say. This place is built exactly like the palace, so it must have cost a lot of money. If it is said that the master has a conspiracy, it took so much effort to risk the world. It’s too bad to do such a tyrannical thing, not only is it useless, but it’s too ostentatious and easy to court death. It can be seen that this master is not only courageous, but also extremely stupid.”

The man didn't say anything for a long while: "Oh, a couple is one body, and they all say the same thing. Hmph, you couple, why don't you go inside and see another couple, how about it?"

Tianxiang continued sharply: "How do you see it, can it explain your stupidity?"

Feng Suzhen disagreed: "Princess, don't say it so directly, people haven't said that he is the owner of this place yet."

Tianxiang nodded: "It's true, no one is willing to take such a stupid blame."

The two sang together, chatted like a stroll in the courtyard, and entered the inner room that the man let them in.

The man kept silent for a while.

The inner room is decorated exactly like Concubine Ju's bedroom, and Concubine Ju is sitting on the bed in a gorgeous dress with a haughty expression.On the other hand, the emperor dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe knelt on the ground and brought a basin of water to Concubine Ju's feet with a smile on his knees.

Feng Suzhen hurriedly grabbed Tian Xiang who was rushing over, and whispered in her ear: "It's all fake, it's all fake."

Tianxiang settled down, and then looked over carefully, that "Concubine Ju" was as graceful and luxurious as the Concubine Ju in the palace, but she showed an undisguised pettiness, and she was licking the footwashing water of "Concubine Chrysanthemum" with a smile The "emperor" of her life is even less likely to be her unpredictable father.

The man's laughter came again from the air: "Hahaha, happy, happy!"

Feng Suzhen said thoughtfully: "This seems to be a kind of revenge. A man's beloved woman has been taken over by another man, so he tried to take revenge on that man in this way, so as to gain a balance of mind."

Tian Xiang said: "This way of revenge is too cowardly. If I were that man, I would rather throw everything away and take my woman back."

"A cowardly person may not always be cowardly!" The empty voice suddenly became real, and a man came out from behind the screen, and beside him stood the unsmiling prince.

"The fake is as real as the real one. Thirteenth Uncle and Father Huang are really brothers, and it's nothing to play with these things..." Tianxiang thought to herself.

Feng Suzhen said: "The imperial palace, concubine Ju, the emperor and the prince are all fake - only you, Lord Marquis, are real." She was also a little startled, although she knew from her father that Dongfanghou had been working in Miaozhou these years. However, he did not expect that he would really search all over the world and find so many similar people.

Dongfang Hou said complacently: "This is called confusing the real with the fake."

"If the real thing can be confused with the real one, Uncle Thirteen, why don't you take this bunch of fakes to the palace in the capital to make the real ones look like real ones? Why don't you keep them here and watch plays every day?" Tian Xiang rolled his eyes at him.

Dongfang Hou said proudly: "Sooner or later, I will truly surpass the emperor! You young people, how many catties of salt have you eaten? , Just be proud of the spring breeze—hehe, let me tell you, you are still far away from playing the game of power and conspiracy! If I were you, I would honestly stay in Miaozhou City for a few days, and go back and hand in the emperor’s errands— —If you are like this, where did you end up in such a situation?"

He looked at Tianxiang in a blink of an eye: "And you, my eldest niece, you finally got married and got married. If you don't take it easy and stay at home safely, what can you do when you come here? This is good, you husband and wife, just do it A pair of mandarin ducks with the same fate!" "Mandarin ducks..." He showed an inexplicable smile, and repeated, "Mandarin ducks..." The fake prince beside him also laughed.

Suddenly there was the sound of weapons colliding with each other, Dongfang Hou frowned, and ordered: "Go out and have a look—" He slowly turned his head and winked at the fake concubine Ju.

The woman suddenly raised her hand and threw a string of chrysanthemum-shaped darts at Feng Suzhen.

Just now, the smoke and medicine that the two of them had taken had not dissipated, although Feng Suzhen couldn't exert enough strength, she still didn't want to hurt Tianxiang, she pulled her behind her, and she moved left and right, blocking most of the darts.

Seeing that the dart was not poisoned but full of barbs, Tianxiang couldn't help but take a deep breath.That fake Concubine Chrysanthemum was not weak in martial arts, and her dart attack was flawless, protecting Dongfanghou behind her.Hearing the sound of fighting outside getting closer and closer, Dongfanghou turned around and went behind the screen, apparently about to run away.

Tianxiang gritted her teeth, jumped out from behind Feng Suzhen, turned her wrist at Dongfang Hou, and threw the sugar cane, hitting her vest.

Dongfang Hou let out a muffled snort, and spat out blood while holding the screen.

The fake concubine Ju was shocked when she saw this, and immediately turned to attack Tianxiang.Tianxiang's whole body tensed up, she held her breath and was about to jump behind the screen and use Dongfang Hou as a meat shield.

"Brother Feng!" Li Zhaoting suddenly broke in from the outside, just in time for the group of chrysanthemum darts flying towards Tianxiang.

Feng Suzhen didn't have time to think about it, a sweep tripped Li Zhaoting to the ground to avoid the deadly attack of the dart, and then blocked in front of him for a while.Her physical strength was gradually exhausted, and her arm was finally pinned by the dart, and the breath she had been suffocating broke, and she fell to the ground.

But the attack stopped at this moment.

She suppressed the fishy sweetness in her throat, raised her head, and saw Tianxiang standing in front of her.She was cutting Dongfanghou's hands back and forth, pushing him step by step towards the fake Concubine Ju, and even deliberately twisting his wrist to make him groan in pain.The fake chrysanthemum concubine dared not act rashly.

Feng Suzhen couldn't see Tianxiang's expression, but she also felt the obvious murderous aura on Tianxiang.

Liu Qian came in from the outside, seeing the situation, she couldn't figure it out for a while, Tianxiang said coldly: "Mrs. Li, you should deal with these people well."

Liu Qian replied yes, and then hurriedly tied up a group of people with the soldiers she brought with her.

Tianxiang then raised her hand and slashed the back of Dongfang Hou's neck, letting him collapse on the ground, then turned around and helped Feng Suzhen up.

Feng Suzhen looked at the blood on Tianxiang's skirt, and frowned her beautiful eyebrows: "Princess, are you injured?"

Tian Xiang clutched the lapel of her clothes, and said in a bad mood: "My son-in-law, you are injured."

Li Zhaoting coughed violently, and Liu Qian went to support him distressedly: "What's wrong with you?"

Feng Suzhen looked at the two of them, her lips moved, then she turned her head and smiled at Tianxiang: "It's okay, it's a flesh injury, just go back and get some medicine and it will be fine. How did you get hurt?"

Tian Xiang said: "It's also a minor injury, let's find a clean place here to treat the wound first."

"What the princess said is that it's not easy to go back to Zhizhou Mansion in the middle of the night, so let's stay here first... Hiss..." Li Zhaoting fell hard, grinning in pain.

Tianxiang rolled her eyes, her whole body was heavy, she was right, if she fell, she would be half dead.

"Princess, son-in-law, I just looked at it. There are a few clean rooms in the west hall. Why don't you go there and rest for a while?" A mansion soldier came up to report cleverly.

Feng Suzhen knew that it was the "thirty texts" that Tianxiang brought over from the Princess's mansion. It's hard for this lonesome and smelly hero to bring someone with such a big posture this time, and it really counted. Use it on top.

"The little one just saw Miss Xing'er who was lost in the mansion in the East Hall just now, do you want her to serve the princess and the son-in-law?"

Before Feng Suzhen opened her mouth, Tianxiang said: "No need, my concubine and I can solve it by ourselves."

"Thirty Wen" is right, the palace rooms in the West Palace are indeed kept very clean, as if people live there all the time.

Tianxiang ordered the government soldiers to bring the wound medicine, but resigned from the doctor Liu Qian called.

Feng Suzhen couldn't help but find it funny when Tianxiang yelled proudly in the room, "The sons and daughters of the rivers and lakes live a life of licking blood with knives, so why are they so particular?" Chest, no wonder she is unwilling to delay the doctor.And it's not that I don't pay attention to it, it's that I dare not.Fortunately, she only got one dart, and it was still in the arm. She half-removed her coat, cut the sleeve with a knife, picked out the dart, and applied the medicine.

Tianxiang, who was wearing a coat, came out from the room, saw Feng Suzhen biting the bandage, and stepped forward to help Feng Suzhen tie the bandage.

Feng Suzhen breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you, Princess."

Tianxiang admired the masterpiece she had bandaged, and nodded in satisfaction: "You're welcome, you're welcome."

"How is your injury?" Feng Suzhen asked with concern.

"Children of the Jianghu, this small injury is nothing, nothing." Tianxiang turned around to pour tea with a smile, and stuck out her tongue. Fortunately, Feng Suzhen didn't look carefully at the time, and her skirt was not broken. Where did the injury come from? The blood was still spit on him by Dongfanghou: "By the way, why did Liu Qian and Crow's mouth come here?"

"Before I came out, I asked that 'Thirty Wen' to send a note to my sister-in-law, so I was well prepared. Even if we couldn't be rescued, I could report a note."

Tianxiang came to a sudden, no wonder Feng Suzhen dared to take the lead and take the risk by herself.She stretched out two thumbs without hesitation: "The son-in-law is really good at predicting things, and he has no plans. He knows 500 years before and 500 years later, um..." She searched for words.

But I didn't know that Feng Suzhen looked like an old god, and didn't hear her flattery at all: "Strange..."

Tianxiang sat down beside her and asked, "Why is it so strange?"

Feng Suzhen thought about it and said: "Sister-in-law's wife brought a few soldiers to pick up such a big fake imperial palace. Even if there were no guards or guards, there would still be a bunch of eunuchs and maids, Dongfanghou would always have some capable men here. There are so many ants killing elephants, how could Mrs. Sister-in-law come in so quickly, and after arresting Lord Hou, no one came to rescue him?"

Tianxiang shook her head like a rattle: "I'm not the number one scholar, my brain is not good, so you should think about such a complicated matter yourself!"

Feng Suzhen couldn't help laughing, and reached out to touch Tianxiang's forehead: "Small ghost, are you just holding grudges like this?"

Before the words fell, both of them were stunned.

Feng Suzhen's fingers in the air were a little stiff, she slowly withdrew her hand, picked up a cup of hot tea on the table, and brought it to her lips.

Tianxiang coughed: "That's my tea."

The atmosphere was a little awkward.

Tianxiang coughed again, poured a cup of tea for Feng Suzhen and handed it to her: "However, judging by my Thirteenth Uncle's style of doing stupid things, it might just fall like this."

Feng Suzhen smiled and said, "Master Hou is your own uncle, so you slander him like this?" Dongfang Hou has been disobedient for 30 years, no matter how stupid he is, he will not put himself in such a dangerous situation.

Tianxiang rubbed her chin: "Feng, that crow's mouth always says 'officials are dark, people's hearts are sinister', this is not an empty phrase to complain about. It is precisely because people's hearts are sinister, so in the officialdom, people play with people's hearts. No matter what a person does, there is always his reason. Whether it is for love or profit, even if it is an extremely stupid action, there is an inevitable reason. If it is unbelievably stupid, then there must be a conspiracy! "

Feng Suzhen nodded: "Father clearly wants me to investigate the affairs of Miaozhou. He is not in a hurry to get rid of the evidence he destroyed, but sent it to the door blatantly. There must be some truth to the matter—but, it’s almost dawn now, let’s take a rest and talk to him again.”

Tianxiang also felt that her eyelids were twitching, and yawned: "Yes, yes, the sky is big, sleep is the biggest!"
