Records of the King of Xin'an County

That night, heavy snow fell, and the sky and the earth were vast.No one knew that Shuqi Hongchen was galloping southward with a secret decree, and the speed of eight hundred miles was like an urgent report from the army.At the same moment, in a side hall of Anren Hall, there were vague screams, but they didn't spread out, they were just buried in the ice and snow.

Although the rules of the Anren Hall are extremely strict, "naturally" got some sporadic news under the persistent inquiry of some people.It is said that Shang Gong, who was serving Empress Du, passed by the Imperial Garden and happened to catch a palace maid who was behaving badly.The servant girl couldn't bear the punishment, and confessed a lot of news intermittently.

Of course, the dark chess players of Princess Anxing would not believe this kind of betrayal, after all, they were all the princess' confidantes back then.If he hadn't been loyal to the princess, he wouldn't have been placed in the Taiji Palace.Rather than saying that they are dark chess, it is better to say that they are more like dead soldiers.Even if he would rather commit suicide, it is absolutely impossible to reveal anything related to the princess, let alone be easily caught by anyone.

However, they may have forgotten that everyone in the world has selfish motives.It's a dead man who was once extremely loyal. After seeing the concubines enjoying endless glory and wealth, he realized that he could only be ordered by others, and he would lose his life at any time. How could he not be shaken?And once he loses the courage to become a dead man, and the torture is unbearable, it will be a matter of time before he opens his mouth.What's more, Queen Du can easily control these chess pieces without prying open her mouth at all?

Ever since, when one dark chess piece after another was taken away, only ripples were splashed in the Taiji Palace, but it made the dark thread that communicated inside and outside the Taiji Palace panic.For such an important matter, it is completely impossible for only two or three people left to decide.Although they vaguely understood that this was not the time to spread the news.But if the news is not spread at this time, maybe the next moment will be the time for them to die! !

Holding an oil-paper umbrella, Li Hui watched from a distance that the dark thread who had hurried out of the palace was caught by the guard who had been waiting for a long time, and the corners of his lips slightly curled up.Princess Changning listened to the sound of snow falling on the umbrella, and smiled: "Brother, is it time for uncle to come forward? Has he figured it out?"

"It seems that the conditions are very strict, but who knows that what he is waiting for is this promise?" Li Hui replied calmly, "Because he gave up the princess and brought endless troubles and pains to Duke Liang's mansion. Maybe he wanted to make amends with this." Although in his opinion, the crimes committed by Princess Anxing have nothing to do with Cheng Qing.But Cheng Qing's guilt towards his family can gradually fade away only by returning the glory of the past to them.

Despite the curfew, Princess Changning's Yandi chariot and Xin'an County King's chariot were still running unimpeded on the streets.A small door was specially opened on the wall of Yongxingfang to facilitate their entry and exit at any time.This gate happened to be located on the side of the Prince's Mansion of Xin'an County, and there were guards from the Prince's Mansion of Xin'an County and Princess Changning's mansion anytime and anywhere.Except for these two golden branches and jade leaves, no one dared to use them again.

When Li Hui returned to the county prince's mansion, he suddenly remembered that everything that happened today fell into Wang Zixian's eyes.Although he didn't care, he still walked around to the kitchen and brought a box of exquisite food himself before returning to the bedroom.Wang Zixian was leaning on the couch reading a book, seeing him walking in covered in wind and snow, he couldn't help frowning: "Why didn't you put on a big cloak? If you caught cold and caught a cold, wouldn't you be torturing yourself?"

"Linlai went to the kitchen and brought back some food." Li Hui smiled slightly, "It's enough to use some hot soup to drive away the cold."

Wang Zixian was naturally worried, and ordered someone to boil ginger soup for him to drink.

He didn't mention anything about what happened during the day, and of course Li Hui wouldn't take the initiative to talk about it. He just told him the progress of the matter: "Everything is ready, I only owe Dongfeng. If uncle is ready, it will be in these two days." .”

But Wang Zixian raised his eyebrows: "He has been preparing for several years, so why delay it for two days?" After finishing speaking, he wrote a note by hand, asking Buqu to find ways to send it to the Princess Anxing's mansion immediately. Deliver it by tomorrow morning.Then, he stared at Li Hui and drank the goose soup, and suddenly said: "Because His Royal Highness Pu mentioned the emptiness around you, the sage intended to give you a beautiful maidservant. In the future, the warm and fragrant soft jade around you should be indispensable." , what a blessing."

Li Hui Leng choked suddenly, and coughed suddenly, and the goose soup was sprinkled all over the food table.

At this moment, he suddenly felt that it was definitely not a good idea for his grandfather to bring his nephew and niece to live in the county palace.Who knows what strange things he will do on a whim? !Inevitably, A Niang must be invited to come over to watch over her, so that she can live a more stable life.As for the elder brother and sister-in-law - just stay in the warm house of Prince Pu's mansion.It's not good for the whole family to live in... and I must not let my brother find any clues...

Wang Zixian laughed lightly, and patted his back: "It's just soup, what's the rush? Just drink slowly. Since yours is spilled, just drink mine."

"The clothes are all dirty, what's the point of drinking them?" Li Hui stood up, took off his clothes, and gave him a sideways glance.

Wang Zixian's gaze followed him into the bathroom next to him, and after a while, he finally couldn't bear it anymore and walked in quickly.

Not to mention how passionate the king of Xin'an and Wang Buque spent the night, all night long.In the early hours of the morning, Princess Anxing finally learned of the changes in the Taiji Palace through several layers of narration.She was suddenly furious, not only the trembling maidservants were punished, but also the son-in-law Cheng Qing, who was separated by many courtyards, also felt the wind and rain coming, and couldn't help laughing playfully.

Seeing the beauty who has been closely by his side these days, she couldn't help but lightly said: "What should be done, the concubine has already done. What should be waited, the concubine has already waited. The son-in-law can never let the concubine's house My master waits, waits... the time is fleeting, and I'm afraid it will be too late!!" Her voice was soft and sweet, but she still couldn't hide her anxiety, obviously being urged very hard.

Cheng Qing casually took the bamboo tube from A Yuan, unfolded the note inside slowly, and said casually: "Your master is about to come to Chang'an soon, wouldn't it be more satisfying for him to see Anxing's destruction with his own eyes?"

The beauty's expression changed suddenly, as if she could not have imagined that he, who had almost never stepped out of the princess mansion, was so well informed.Then I thought about the occasional visits and outings of Duke Liang's mansion, they should have passed the message secretly, and he was slightly relieved. "My son-in-law's words are wrong. It is precisely because the master is about to enter the capital that I don't want to see this noble master still alive in peace."

"Oh, I've got a wrong idea. If he meets An Xing, it will be hard to tell who will inform him. Of course he is very anxious." Cheng Qing said, looking carefully at the contents of the note, and suddenly burst out laughing.

The beauty thought that he was mocking her own master, and her face immediately became displeased: "My son-in-law, please be careful! Since you have already chosen your master, you will be honored, you will be prosperous, and you will be harmed, so why bother to make such sarcastic remarks? If the master is in danger, the son-in-law can What benefits do you want? It's better to do your best to get this matter done! Otherwise, it's hard to say what the future situation of the son-in-law and Duke Liang's mansion will be."

Cheng Qing raised her lips, glanced at her, and lazily ordered Ah Yuan to take a bath and change clothes.The beauty looked at the master and servant with a gloomy expression, and suddenly felt that she might have been underestimating this son-in-law.Now that she has nothing to use, Cheng Qing is too lazy to flirt with her, completely ignoring her.

When he was about to go to the bathroom, Cheng Qing handed the note he had just read to A Yuan, and said with a low laugh: "Tell the messenger, I will never disappoint him. Besides, he still restrained his annoyance a little bit." Come on, you can't be a bridesmaid with a sullen face, can you?"

Ah Yuan blinked, but finally couldn't help being curious, and quickly glanced at the note.I saw that apart from all the proper code words, there was an extra line of sarcasm: Prince Cheng hasn't seen anything for a long time, could it be that he slept on the lap of the beauty and fell asleep?If you are more clear-headed, you should know that there is no longer any delay!Only by taking advantage of the victory and chasing after can you completely knock the person you hate into the dust! !

——————————————————————————————————————

This day is exactly December [-]th, the last big court meeting before the year.All the officials in Beijing gathered in the Tai Chi Hall to hear the Dali Temple Minister's report on the traitors who had been investigated recently.Apart from this major case of treason, there were no accidents, and other daily affairs were not suitable to be brought up in court meetings.After all, the closer the new year is, the more relaxed the hearts of the people-the Laba has just passed, and the sacrifice stove is not far away.An An ended his official duties happily, and everyone was happy. This year will be complete, right?

However, there are some people who don't want to wait for the New Year in peace.

Just as the Minister of Dali Temple was impassioned, and together with the Secretary of the Ministry of Justice and the doctor of the imperial court, loudly criticized those rebellious and unscrupulous criminals, the prison in the palace suddenly seemed to have some news, and whispered a few words in the saint's ear.The saint's gaze passed over Li Hui without a trace: "Let him come over."

So, half an hour later, the young supervisor in the palace shouted loudly: "Xuan Consort Cheng Qing sees you!!"

For a while, the Tai Chi Hall was quiet, as if a needle could be heard.Many courtiers were even stunned before they could react.After all, this son-in-law has been under house arrest in the princess mansion for nearly a year.And so many things have happened one after another in the past year, everyone has almost completely forgotten about this ordinary playboy——

Even Princess Anxing's occasional gossip and rumors, which ruined the little reputation left, never involved him in the slightest.Everyone seemed to agree that nothing would happen to this son-in-law.Even if Princess Anxing did something wrong, he might not know anything about it.

When Cheng Qing, who was wearing a scarlet gown, walked into the hall with a dignified expression, all the officials came to their senses. He was still the young minister of the Taifu, and he was indeed qualified to participate in the great court council and even the permanent court.Even though he was under house arrest for a long time, the sage did not deprive him of his official position, as if he and Princess Anxing would be released at any time with grace.Perhaps because of this, the officials felt that His Majesty's temperament was too gentle.

"My minister has seen a saint." Cheng Qing knelt down on the ground and made a big salute.

"Get up." The saint said.

But Cheng Qing kowtowed on the ground as before, and said loudly: "I don't dare! I have an excerpt to play!"

The sage looked down at him, as if he felt something, and after a while, he said: "Yes."

"I have reported that the eldest princess Anxing is plotting treason! Spying on the court, raising soldiers, hiding armor, murdering the emperor's heir, colluding with rebels, plotting evil!!"

As soon as he said a word, he was immediately shocked.
