Records of the King of Xin'an County

That night, the Prince of Xin'an brought back the news that shocked the entire Chang'an City back to Prince Pu's Mansion.

"The daughter of the Pei clan in the east of the river?" After Wang Zixian heard about this, he was quite surprised.However, he immediately showed his face and smiled: "It's not me who is lucky, but Du Shishilang. Every time he doesn't do anything, he can just sit back and enjoy the success. The King of Tianshui is right, and he can't do anything." It's time to find something else for him, lest he continue to sit and watch us fight with peace of mind, thinking that keeping silent is enough."

"You want to use him?" Li Hui raised his eyebrows, "I still can't trust him. He seems very clever, but he still makes friends with us under such circumstances. Could it be that he is not worried, and the Yang family treats him very well?" Do you have doubts? Or, he has long been a member of the Yang family, and he approached us just to find out the news." It is indeed impossible for a truly smart person to choose to attach himself to the Yang family and ruin himself and his family in their ambitions.But there are also some stubborn people who will do whatever it takes to repay their kindness.

"Don't trust him." Wang Zixian shook his head, "No matter what he has in mind, he must try his best to gain our trust. That being the case, it is also reasonable to help us inquire about some news. With him as a cover, Only our people can continue to lurk beside Yang Qian silently." His friend's momentum is just right, and he must not arouse any suspicion, otherwise the success will be in vain.

"This is a great plan." Li Hui said, "I will also remind Jing Xing that it is good to be friends with Du Chongfeng, but you can't trust him too much. He is so smart, maybe Jing Xing will leak a lot of news inadvertently." Of course , Li Jing can definitely keep the most important secret.But for a person like Du Chongfeng, many clues can be found between the lines in his words.Even if it is not important news, it is also very likely to put them in a disadvantageous situation.

Wang Zixian pondered for a moment, then said in a low voice: "The Prince of Tianshui's friendship with Du Chongfeng may make him and the Yang family think that he has gained our trust. It is absolutely impossible for us not to let him leak any information, otherwise it would be too false Yes. However, what news can be revealed is up to us to decide. If this plan is used well, it will not only reveal Du Chongfeng's true wishes, but also interfere with the judgment of the Yang family."

Deceiving each other and taking advantage of the opportunity to play tricks is naturally the best strategy to be extremely unexpected.Li Hui sighed softly: "I have some hope, Du Chongfeng is indeed a smart and intelligent person. Jing Xing really admires him very much, and really wants to make friends with him."

Not only did he feel sorry for this talented young man, but he also felt sorry for his own cousin.With Li Jing's vision and experience, it is not easy to find a close friend.If their encounter was a scam from beginning to end, for him with a straightforward personality, it would undoubtedly bring about a shock that could almost destroy his faith.

"Let's see the future." The prince offered, "If they really become friends, there will naturally be a way for them to get along."

As the night was getting dark, the two returned to the bed together.After a long time together, Rumo's black hair was messy and intertwined, and they had long been indistinguishable from each other.Prince Xian lazily covered their bodies with the thin silk quilt, and his voice was hoarse with satisfaction: "Xuan Qi, according to what you can see, what is the motive behind Princess Anxing's idea for Concubine Yang Xian?" ? With her ability, how could she not know that involving the Hedong Pei family will not be of any benefit to prevent the split of the Hongnong Yang family?"

"Are you thinking, since Hongnong Yang's lineage struggle is a foregone conclusion, why would she help Yang Ba Niang and suppress Concubine Yang Xian together?" Li Hui smiled softly, "But what benefits can she get from helping Yang Shijing? Zi Xian, Do you think that, as the princess of the Li family, she will watch the Yang family plot wrongdoings, and eventually she will lose her status as a golden branch and jade leaf? I have been thinking why she is so mad and doing things that hurt others Do nothing against yourself."

"Isn't it because of Concubine Yang?" The prince moved his eyes slightly, "After the death of Duke Huai, their mother and daughter depended on each other and had a deep friendship. The only person who can make Princess Anxing obey her orders is probably Concubine Yang. Yang Shijing is also a brother and sister, no matter what Yang Shijing wants to do, she will definitely help her. After all, Duke Huai took away all her hope of going further, and after the death of the late emperor, she can only be trapped in another palace."

"The relationship between Concubine Yang and Princess Anxing is not as harmonious as it appears on the surface." Li Hui replied, remembering that when the late emperor was seriously ill, he and Princess Changning met Princess Anxing and Princess Yang privately. get along with the situation. "Princess Anxing should have resentment in her heart, and she has always cared about Duke Huai. Zixian..."

He suddenly seemed to think of something, and his face showed a solemn expression: "I want to find out what happened before and after the death of Duke Huai." Perhaps, Princess Anxing's mad desire to kill her brother has never been For what good.She just harbored resentment and wanted revenge just like those families implicated in the abolition of the crown prince's treason.

Wang Zixian was stunned: "Back then, Empress Wende took care of the palace affairs, so there shouldn't be any mistakes or omissions. Moreover, Duke Huai is neither the son of the concubine nor the eldest son of the concubine. In terms of talent and temperament, he is just like His Highness the King of Yue. In terms of favor, he is even more Not as good as His Royal Highness King Pu and King Jin. It is absolutely impossible for the abolished Crown Prince, King Pu, or the former King Jin to regard him as an enemy."

"That's right, my grandfather and grandmother had three legitimate sons, and he never thought of letting the concubine inherit the lineage. Even if brothers fight, it has nothing to do with King Huai." Li Hui said, "It is very likely that King Huai's death was not related to him. Something suspicious. But what I want to find out is where Princess Anxing's resentment comes from—"

Speaking of this, he narrowed his eyes, "Many times, the reason for the resentment is not real, it just depends on what she believes. Only after knowing her thoughts and goals can we guess how she will act. "Whether someone interfered with Duke Huai's death is not important, what is important is whether Princess Anxing harbors resentment because of it, and whether she firmly believes that someone must have killed Duke Huai.Only by investigating the matter clearly can they make a more accurate judgment.

So, the two discussed in a low voice how to verify the matter and many other matters.Not to mention how thoughtful and well-arranged they were, almost at the same moment, the deserted courtyard in the back garden of the Hongnong County Government Mansion was lit up, welcoming the long-lost distinguished guests.

Yang Dalang was wearing a black gauze curtain that covered his whole body, and he was still lying on the couch, looking at the slowly approaching people with complicated eyes, calling in a low voice: "A Niang is finally here." The servant who delivered food every day sent a message, but there was no reply for several days.When he had been waiting extremely anxiously, Mrs. Wei finally arrived late.

Mrs. Wei looked at him nonchalantly, her solemn face becoming more and more expressionless.Even though his whole body was covered, he could still vaguely see something strange.This is the flesh that fell from her body, and being able to live in peace and stability is also the fulfillment of the mother-child relationship between them.However, the eldest son was also her humiliation and the most painful experience in her life.Because of giving birth to such a "monster", the pressure on her is still undiminished.

"How is Auntie?" Even with the black gauze covering him, Yang Dalang could still see the contradictory look of disgust and pity in Mrs. Wei's eyes.Of course, he couldn't take it lightly, and there would naturally be pain in his heart, but it was more of a habit.I am used to the unkindness and contempt shown to him by everyone except Shanniang and A Tao.Thinking about it this way, that "cousin Wang" is indeed an extremely rare person.

"The reason you want to see me is definitely not just to ask me if I'm okay." Mrs. Wei said flatly, "You can just tell me what it is. If I can make the decision, I will definitely agree to you. But if I can't make the decision, or Things that I would never agree with, need not be mentioned again.”

"I heard that Ba Niang has entered the palace?" Yang Dalang said in a low voice, "Why didn't Auntie persuade father? Since the cousin is already in the palace, why should Ba Niang be sent in again? Isn't this telling everyone openly? , our Yang family’s first house is at odds with the second house? Without father’s support, how will my cousin and King Qi deal with each other in the palace?”

"Her ambition has grown too much. She has long been used to making her own decisions, and she gradually doesn't take your father seriously." Mrs. Wei said, "Such an ungrateful person, how will we live in the future, why should we bother? As for the two Regarding the matter of the house, if we are strong, the second house will naturally bow its head. In the end, peace and discord are just a trend of ebb and flow. Do you think that if you support the white-eyed wolf wholeheartedly, the eldest house and the second house will be able to As close as a family? If their second wife gets ahead, your grandpa might not even be able to keep his title!"

"Then there is no need to ruin Ba Niang's happiness and future." Yang Dalang was anxious for a moment, "Could it be that A Niang forgot, back then you...you pointed at me and worried that the sisters would give birth to the same monster after they got married!! [-] After Niang enters the palace, if anything happens, it is very likely that she will never be able to stand up again!"

Mrs. Wei's eyes narrowed suddenly, and she casually picked up the cup full of buttermilk beside her, and threw it at him, "You...you bastard! How dare you curse your own sister?! I gave birth to you, and that's the end of it!" A bad fate!! I have eaten fast and recited Buddha for decades, is it not enough to repay the sin of giving birth to you?! Your sisters are so innocent...why do you have a brother like you!! You, you are unreliable Yes! If it wasn't for you... how could I recognize that little bastard!! No one can rely on them in the future, they can only rely on themselves!! You still curse them!! What is your intention!!"

Shanniang exclaimed, and quickly lifted the curtain to check Yang Dalang's injuries.Yang Dalang held his red and swollen forehead and remained silent.And the buttermilk splashed on his body had completely soaked his clothes, and his ugly body was fully exposed in an instant.The furious Mrs. Wei couldn't help but pause, and immediately turned away from looking at her, and the scolding in her mouth also stopped.

She turned around and was about to go out, but A Tao, who had just stood quietly by the side, closed the door.The cronies and servant girls who came with her were all waiting in the yard, and when they saw this, they hurried over and opened the door.

The young boy blocked the door coldly, sizing up this graceful lady, and even his voice was tense: "Grandpa hasn't finished yet."

Mrs. Wei looked at this face that was almost the same as when she was a child, and her expression became more and more complicated: "There is no need to say any more!! Entering the palace is Ba Niang's wish. No matter what she wants, I will fulfill her! As for the difficulties she will encounter Naturally, I will try my best to get rid of her and help her become the most honorable woman in the world!!"

"And then?" Yang Dalang continued in a low voice, "And watched her fall from the most honored position? Just like the princess in the previous dynasty, both mother and child died in depression?!"

"You—" Mrs. Wei gritted her teeth fiercely, her voice seemed to be squeezed out from the bottom of her heart, full of gloom, "I definitely won't allow that bastard...to ruin my daughter's event!!" , she pushed A Tao away, and walked out with an astonishing momentum, as if she would wipe out everything that stood in her way.
