Records of the King of Xin'an County

"It's just two yellow-haired children who don't know the heights of the sky and the earth. One usually only knows how to put on a show, and the other only knows how to talk! Do you think that if you are favored by a saint, you can do anything?!" Facing the two handsome young men, Cheng Qing sneered, and did not hide her doubts, "What can you do with just you! I don't know where your self-confidence and calmness come from! I'm afraid that you are in a crisis, and you don't even know what to do. Are you ignorant?!"

If it were an ordinary young man, he would have been so angry that he had ridiculed him so sarcastically.However, Li Hui and Wang Zixian didn't react at all - it was just that Wang Zixian naturally took a sip of the cup of tea that Li Hui poured just now, and then held the teacup with a half-smile.

Cheng Qing's eyes moved slightly, and he couldn't help but feel that this Wang Buque was really unruly.Speaking carefully, he is both an elder and a guest, so naturally this cup of tea should be given to him!Could it be that he thought that by doing so, the other party could not respond to his words?The so-called first-class young man praised by everyone is nothing more than that.

"Since my uncle despises us so much, why bother to send someone to test us? Why did he take the risk to come here quietly?" Li Hui smiled, "Could it be that he just came here to reprimand us? That's okay, we are elders after all. .However, if it is finished, uncle can leave."

It is Cheng Qing who is anxious now, not them.If this son-in-law thinks that he can take the initiative and control them from now on, it is a big mistake.The two of them are definitely not teenagers, and they will not be shaken by a few words, and they will be used by him.Taking a step back, even if what he said is true, so what if they are in crisis?If some people provoked the sage's fury, the downfall of Anxing Princess's Mansion and Liang Guogong's Cheng's family would only happen in an instant.

Cheng Qing's complexion changed, and he still sat motionless in front of the short desk, his eyes full of inquiry and questioning looked carefully at the young man opposite him again.So far, his disposition displayed is completely different from usual, the careless dude son-in-law of the past seems to be a completely different person.

Li Hui unhurriedly poured another cup of tea and slowly pushed it to him.But Wang Zixian put down the teacup and said with a smile: "Wang has always thought that the son-in-law is indulgent and has the style of a madman. But he didn't expect that the son-in-law is just an ordinary person. Hesitant and indecisive, it is also difficult to achieve great things."

Cheng Qing raised his eyebrows, and snorted with a smile, the doubts and gloom on his body faded away in an instant, and he returned to his usual loose appearance: "You two can hold your breath, so I don't worry that the person who came is not Me? Even if I'm eager to get revenge, I shouldn't put myself in danger. If you break in, who can Her Highness the Queen and Yue Niang mother and daughter rely on in the future?"

"Uncle was joking." Li Hui remained calm, "If it was someone else who came, I wouldn't be able to get out of this hut tonight. Fortunately, it was indeed Uncle who came, otherwise I thought someone conspired with Uncle to set a trap, maybe another day It would not be rude to retaliate." Since the other party still wanted to test and didn't trust their abilities, he would reveal a little bit, which could be regarded as strengthening his prestige.

Cheng Qing narrowed his eyes, and keenly noticed that Wang Buque, who he thought was weak, suddenly burst out with an astonishing murderous aura.This murderous aura is extremely strong, as if walking through a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood. Only those who are truly burdened with dozens of lives can unconsciously form such a sense of majesty.

At this moment, he realized that even if he was an adult man who was good at riding and shooting, he would never be a match for the young man in front of him.Li Hui was not exaggerating, if the two of them wanted someone to stay in the future, this person would definitely be unable to fly.They do have the ability to be so confident that they have no fear.

"Oh, yes, I underestimated Wang Buque and you, Xuan Qi." Cheng Qing said, "Forget it, there is no need to say any more lies, I am here today just to ask you—I would like Drive for Her Royal Highness and Princess Changning, so as to keep Liang Guogong's mansion. Can the two of you make decisions on their behalf?"

"Why does Uncle ask this question? What does this matter have to do with Aunt Yue and Yue Niang? The only one we are loyal to is Uncle, and you came to look for us, and we promised to meet you. Isn't it obvious that you intend to abandon the dark side and turn to the bright side? Is Uncle loyal?" Ordinary people would think that Xin'an County King and Wang Buque are proper imperial parties, and only the orders of the saints are obeyed.But I don't know why the son-in-law of Princess Anxing thought of Empress Du and Princess Changning, which also made Li Hui secretly vigilant.

"Of course, who is not loyal to a saint?" Cheng Qing raised the corners of his lips, "It's just the wrath of the emperor. Millions of corpses were buried, and blood flowed for thousands of miles. The mere Duke Liang's mansion is just an inconspicuous part of the millions of corpses. Her Highness the Empress and Princess Changning are soft-hearted. In order to protect myself, I have no choice. Moreover, just like you, there is no difference between being loyal to a saint and being close to Her Majesty the Empress. After all, at this moment, there is no worry about establishing the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace. The royal family is still very happy."

"My uncle's words are wrong." Li Hui continued lightly, "It is the duty of a minister to be loyal to my uncle. To be close to my aunt and Yue Niang is a bond of affection. As for the matter of Liang Guogong's mansion, if the Cheng family and the conspiracy It doesn't matter, uncle will naturally not be angry. If the Cheng family is accidentally implicated and the merits are paid off, there is no need to worry too much. After all, uncle is kind by nature and doesn't like bloody killings, so he definitely won't embarrass innocent people too much. "

"What a 'natural kindness'." Cheng Qing smiled, clapping his palms, "If you were really kind, the Yue King's lineage would not be exiled to Lingnan, and your father and brother would not retreat to Luoyang, and Wu Guogong would not have been sick at home to recuperate. .Elder brother and uncle are still like this——Xuan Qi, even if you have a "deep love for uncle and nephew" with a saint, why do you deceive yourself and others?"

"What misunderstanding did my uncle have about the emperor? No matter whether it is truly benevolent or not, as long as there is a beginning and an end, it is extremely rare." Li Hui raised his eyebrows, "Besides, what misunderstanding did uncle have about the case of the Yue Palace? If it hadn't been for Princess Anxing and King Peng, why did the lineage of the King of Yue end up here? Why? The culprit is not to blame, but to blame others? Could it be that Uncle thinks that it is not Princess Anxing who has troubled Liang Guogong’s mansion, but someone else?!"

"Could it be that the son-in-law wants to protect not only Duke Liang's mansion, but also Princess Anxing?" Wang Zixian narrowed his eyes and continued, "Then forgive us for being powerless. No matter who is a poisonous woman like Princess Anxing, We must not let her go. Assassinating my elder brother, not to mention, colluding with foreign enemies, intending to bring chaos to the court—all these are heinous crimes!"

Cheng Qing glanced at him: "If it weren't for this poisonous woman, my Cheng family would not have fallen into such a situation. When my father was still alive, the Duke of Liang's mansion was so famous, but now... oh, Princess Shang, being a son-in-law, yes As far as my Cheng family is concerned, I can only bring disaster. I, Cheng Qing, should be one of the people who hate her the most in the world... all the time, I hate her to the point of death..."

Li Hui and the prince exchanged glances indiscriminately.They firmly believed in Cheng Qing's desire to save the Cheng family.After all, before Princess Anxing descended, Duke Liang's mansion was indeed very harmonious.Liang Guogong never took concubines in his life, all his children were born by Mrs. Lu, and the inner house was very harmonious.But since Cheng Qing became the eldest princess of Anxing, she has never looked the same again, and every Cheng family probably hates her to the bone.

But whether Cheng Qing and Princess Anxing will have an inexplicable relationship between husband and wife, and whether they will feel sympathy for her at an inopportune time, they cannot be completely sure.Therefore, before today, they had also discussed how to cooperate with Cheng Qing, so as to use his power and be just in case.

"Actually, I not only hate her, but I also hate Concubine Yang, whose adoptive daughter doesn't teach her, and even Emperor Taizong who gave her the marriage." Cheng Qing continued.Seeing that Li Hui's face changed suddenly when he heard the words, and he was no longer calm at all, he raised his head and laughed: "Come on, come on, you have always admired Emperor Taizong, so don't mention Emperor Taizong. After all, not every pair of parents knows The temperament of my own children. Emperor Taizong is especially so, he is too reassuring about his own children. I have been in and out of the court since I was a child, and I think I know her very well. When I was a princess, I never thought that she would become what she is today. appearance."

Li Hui also remembered that Imperial Physician Feng had said that Cheng Qing had also checked the pulse case of Prince Huai, presumably to distinguish whether Princess Anxing's words of revenge were true or false.Maybe he once believed her, but after witnessing her irrational anger, he began to doubt, and then gradually drifted away until the two sides completely deviated from each other.

Cheng Qing seemed a little disappointed when he mentioned the past, but he quickly returned to his previous loose expression: "In short, she is determined to go her own way and is crazy to death. Don't miss her."

"What my uncle said really empathizes with me." Li Hui said, "However, if you think about it carefully, how can we conclude that uncle is not a pawn driven by Princess Anxing? The words and deeds so far are not designed to lead us into A trap set up? After all, this is what she is best at."

"You guys are quite vigilant, and you are not dazzled by the current situation, just thinking about strengthening your power." Cheng Qing smiled, as if not surprised, "Of course I will take everything I have learned over the years without reservation." Tell you. Moreover, I will design together with you until An Xing dies and the mastermind behind the scenes reveals his true colors. Words are really not trustworthy, only actions can win people's trust. As for you—tell me, you Can you make the decision for Her Highness the Queen and Princess Changning?"

Li Hui unhurriedly took out a blank Yizhi stamped with the Queen's seal from his bosom: "This is evidence, what does my uncle think?"

Cheng Qing couldn't help being stunned, and sighed: "It turns out that they... This is really a strange thing... Speaking of it, the saint still cares about King Pu's lineage, and you are just Princess Changning's cousin, why would they Believe in you so much? I have entrusted my whole family and life to you."

"What about a cousin? As long as you have the heart, what's the difference with your elder brother?" Li Hui said.

"Hehe, interesting, really interesting." Cheng Qing sized him up, then looked at Wang Zixian beside him, "Wang Buque, who thought he was a lone minister, actually wants to get involved in the future battle of seizing the heir for the sake of friendship." Do you want to fight? Are you not afraid that the road to Qingyun will be cut off?"

"The sage will be prosperous for thousands of years, and the son-in-law is cautious in his words." The prince offered back.

"Indeed, no one who can win the heir apparent has yet to be born!" Cheng Qing stood up with a smile, "That's all for now. We'll continue to discuss strategies after you report back to Her Majesty the Queen. The current bait strategy used by the saint is too patient. People are not easy to use, what do you think?"

"...to be too hasty has its disadvantages." Li Hui smiled, "Then we will see you another day."

Cheng Qing put on the cloak, turned around and was about to come out, and suddenly said: "I don't know who is hiding behind that interesting little servant girl next to me? How about asking this person to meet me in the future?"

"If the son-in-law has a heart, there will naturally be a chance to meet." The prince offered.

Cheng Qing gave him a meaningful look, and left with the corner of his mouth curled up.
