Finally, when the banquet ended, Guan Xin told Jin Yang to wait for a while, then saw an opportunity to pull Yuzhang into the shadow of the corner outside the hall, saw that there was no one in front of him, and became impatient He said patiently, "It was Li Qinghuang who was going to give me a gift in the afternoon, and I gave him a hand, so don't get me wrong."

"No need to explain."

Yuzhang's tone was a bit cold, Guan Xin thought she was still misunderstanding what she had with Li Qinghuang, and felt even more anxious.

"Changyi is here too. She saw the whole process, so it's really nothing. Don't be angry."

"Well, I didn't think much about it. You don't need to worry. It's not suitable to stay here for a long time. If there is nothing else, I'll go back first. I'm a little tired today."

The light was dim, so I couldn't see Yuzhang's expression clearly, but the voice sounded like she was very tired. Guan Xin shook her hand, "Then you go back quickly, take a hot bath and go to bed quickly. I can't go back, I thought I could spend more time with you tonight, so I can only go out next time."

"Well, go back quickly, don't make Jinyang wait."

Yuzhang pulled out the hand held by Guan Xin, turned around and walked towards the brightly lit direction.Guan Xin has been silently watching the leaving figure from behind, her expression is also unpredictable.I thought Yuzhang misunderstood what she had with Li Qinghuang, but it didn't seem to be because of this.It seems that since Yuzhang met his son-in-law, he has been in a bad mood. What did they talk about?

"Reporting to Your Majesty, after the banquet was over, Guan Xin took the sixth princess to the back room and talked for a while, then followed Princess Jinyang back to the bedroom, while the sixth princess left the palace directly, but His Royal Highness King Wei did not leave the palace. Instead, I went to Princess Jinyang's bedroom."

Li Shimin was standing in front of the imperial case, staring at the map of Liaodong and Goguryeo on the table to study. Hearing the eunuch's report, he couldn't help frowning. It was so late, Qingque went to Jinyang's palace, and even his sister was not suitable. etiquette.It should be to see Guan Xin, as for Guan Xin and Liu Niang... "Well, go and call Wei Wang back."

On the second day, Guan Xin received an invitation.Holding the invitation letter in his hand, he felt a little inexplicable.do not understand!If her status is low, she is an ordinary commoner. If her status is high, she is just a servant of the princess, not much different from a maid.Why did this ordinary princess ask her to meet?Although she didn't want to go, she had to go if she didn't want to. She didn't have the right to refuse, but it was a good comfort for her to take advantage of this invitation to go out of the palace to have a look at Yuzhang.The meeting place was still in a tea house, Guan Xin guessed that he might want to learn the tea ceremony, so he invited her to explain it.As soon as he entered the teahouse, he unexpectedly saw Tang Shanshi, so he had no choice but to go up to say hello, "Is the sixth son-in-law here to protect the emperor's daughter?"

"Miss, this teahouse is open, isn't it just for people to come, why? I can't come?" Tang Shanzhi snorted, the corner of his mouth showing a hint of sarcasm.

Guan Xin raised her eyebrows and smiled lightly, "Of course I can. I won't disturb the son-in-law's elegant mood, so I leave." This yin and yang is weird, is she aware of her relationship with Yuzhang, and she is blaming her for stealing someone?Just blame it, whoever told her that she really turned the corner of others, she should be blamed.From this point of view, Yuzhang's mood was affected yesterday, eight out of ten because of this?

Following the guide, I came to Shaoyao's room. This Dongying girl is very dedicated. I heard from shopkeeper Qiu that this person asked Shaoyao to be the tea maker by name, because the tea she drank last time was boiled by Shaoyao. It is very delicious, and she especially appreciates the graceful posture of peony.

Except for Shaoyao, there is only the princess and the princess in the house, and the interpreter is not there. Without an interpreter, do you have to rely on sign language to communicate?The attendants at the door closed the door from the outside after Guan Xin entered the house.Guan Xin bowed his knees and saluted, "I've seen the imperial daughter, but I don't know why the imperial daughter invited the civilian daughters to come here?"

"Please sit down."

Tao Kong Jiuxing made a gesture of invitation, and what she said was in Chinese. Although it was not standard, it did not affect the meaning. It seems that this imperial daughter should be able to do simple communication in Chinese, otherwise she would not have a translator.

"Thank you, I didn't expect the princess to speak Chinese so well." Guan Xin flattered me politely.

Shao Yao offered a cup of tea to Guan Xin. Guan Xin picked it up, took a sip, and nodded in satisfaction. Shao Yao had been paying attention to Guan Xin's expression, seeing Guan Xin nodding, secretly heaved a sigh of relief , all the sisters regard Guan Xin as a master, and getting Guan Xin's recognition for their craftsmanship is the goal they have been working hard for.

"The water temperature is a little higher. The Longjing tea leaves are tender, a little too hot, and the taste is a bit harsh. Be careful next time." Guan Xin mentioned the taste he felt.

"Yes" Shao Yao humbly nodded and said yes.Normally, she was quite envious of Haitang, because when Guan Xin came to the building, she spent most of her time in Haitang's room, so among them, Haitang's skills improved the fastest, and when Guan Xin was away, all the sisters were there When asking for advice, it was mostly Haitang who repeated Guan Xin's advice to everyone, but it was not as convincing as Guan Xin's personal guidance.

Taokong Jiuxing gently applauded beside him. "Awesome! This tea, tasted without knowing it, is amazing!"

Guan Xin was slightly stunned by such incoherent praise, and then realized that the princess's speech was probably incomplete due to her lack of fluency in Chinese, but she could understand the general situation, saying that she didn't know what kind of tea it was. Down to the name.For those who drink tea regularly, it is not difficult to do this.

"It's just drinking for a long time. There is nothing difficult. If the princess wants to learn this tea art, she can come to Shao Yao for discussion at any time. Shao Yao's craftsmanship and posture are among the best people here."

"Arigado, uh, thank you." Taokong Jiuxing said something in his mother tongue and immediately changed it to Chinese, a little embarrassed and a little bit shy.

Seeing Tao Kong Jiuxing's shy expression, Guan Xin sighed slightly.This girl is really amazing, even better than her ability to pretend to be innocent.She is a superb rank, and she is willing to bow down.

"Ministers should not come out for too long. I don't know if the princess invited me here, but what's the matter?" Guan Xin didn't want to spend any more time with her, and it was rare for her to come out by herself. Would it be nice to go back and see his wife if he had the time?Why are you acting with her here?

"Ah, yes, a letter to King Wei. And this one is for you."

Tao Kong Jiuxing seemed to have forgotten the purpose of the day, and when Guan Xin reminded him, he suddenly remembered, took out two letters from his wide cuff and handed them to Guan Xin.

"give me?"

Guan Xin couldn't help being a little surprised, why didn't they send the letter to Li Tai directly, instead of passing through her hand, why did they order it?What's more, if you can't say it in person, you have to write a letter.Guan Xin made a gesture to open the letter to herself, but in the next second, a delicate hand grabbed her wrist. Guan Xin looked at the owner of that hand, Tao Kong Jiuxing, puzzled.

"Go back and see."

Go back and see?so mysterious?Moreover, Taokong Jiuxing said the words in Japanese, and there was no Chinese translation. Guan Xin looked at her with question marks in his head, as if asking, what are you talking about?But Taokong Jiuxing didn't explain the last sentence, but directly ordered to evict the guest.

"Thank you girl for letting Jiuxing study," pointing to the tea set, "Thank you for these, I dare not waste your time, thank you again." Taokong Jiuxing bowed to salute.

Guan Xin stood up helplessly, with several question marks in her heart, but she didn't ask again. Maybe it was because she didn't react and spoke her mother tongue. Anyway, she understood it, and it wasn't important.After leaving, she didn't stop at the teahouse, she wanted to go back to Yuzhang's side immediately, and wanted to see how the girl was feeling today.As for the two letters, don't rush to read her one, and find someone to send Li Tai's one to him when she returns to the Princess Mansion.

She obviously lived in the same city, but because of the barrier of the palace wall, she and Yuzhang felt close to each other. This time, it was rare that she didn't come out with a follower, and she really wanted to fly to Yuzhang's side immediately.After leaving the teahouse in a hurry, he got into the carriage and rushed to the Princess Mansion, but he didn't expect to be stopped by a group of soldiers as soon as he left Pingkangfang. The leader was actually Tang Shanshi.

The little eunuch who was driving the car shrank back at a loss. Guan Xin pushed open the car door and frowned when he saw the person blocking the way. His expression was displeased. She didn't want to see this son-in-law because of Yuzhang. The superficial peace was already her limit, and now Tang Shanzhi insisted on getting close to her, which made her feel a little irritable when she was in a good mood.

"What's the meaning of this, son-in-law?"

"Heh, as the person in charge of the city's security during the foreign envoy's visit, now I suspect that you have an affair with the foreign envoy, with the intention of murdering the emperor and ruining this visit. Please ask the girl to come with me to Dali Temple." Tang Shanzhi was riding on the horse, looking down at Guan Xin who was sitting in the car, with a disdainful smile on his lips and hatred in his eyes.

"Are you sick? Why am I having an affair with a foreigner? You are making a false accusation. I'm going to see Princess Six. Please get out of the way." After Guan Xin finished speaking, she was about to step back and close the car door.

The sound of a soldier drawing a knife made her body freeze. Is this for real?Looking angrily at Tang Shanzhi who was joking aside, "What evidence do you have that I'm collaborating with the enemy?"

"Evidence? Oh, isn't the evidence in your arms? Is the girl handing it over by herself, or let me search for it myself."

The mocking and disdainful smile on Tang Shanzhi's face made Guan Xin suddenly realize that she had been tricked.Silently took out the two letters she had put in her bosom, and held them tightly in her hands, "Is this it?" Seeing a soldier wanting to come forward to get it, Guan Xin withdrew her hand and put it in her bosom again , "I won't give it to you, I'm going to see the emperor, and I want to explain to the emperor face to face."

"Oh, I think the girl still hasn't seen the situation clearly. Do you think you still have the right to say no? Come here, tie her up, and take her away."

Guan Xin only had time to wink with the little eunuch before he was dragged out of the carriage by the wolf-like soldiers and taken away in a bundle.Of course, the two letters in his arms were also taken away by Tang Shanshi.From Tang Shanzhi's eyes looking at her, she clearly saw the hatred, and also the joy after succeeding.The only intersection between her and Tang Shanzhi was Yuzhang. It seemed that this person must have known the real reason why Yuzhang was indifferent to him.He was escorted all the way to Dali Temple and sent directly to prison.Guan Xin didn't cry or fuss. Crying is useless, it will only make people who hate her laugh.

Quietly curled up on the wooden bed with moldy quilts, thinking about the current situation.I really regret that I didn't read the contents of those two letters in time, but now it's good, I don't know anything, if someone asks her, she will turn her eyes dark, she is too passive.It's all because she was too careless. I really didn't expect that foreign princesses would plot against her with them.

There is no time to think on the road, this will calm down, it is not difficult to guess who the main messenger behind this is.Apart from Li Chengqian, she couldn't think of another person. Tang Shanzhi didn't have the guts to frame her like this to challenge Yuzhang. Li Chengqian must have instigated him behind the scenes.

What a plan to kill two birds with one stone, not only got her into it, but also abducted Li Tai into it.Because one of those two letters was exactly what she needed to deliver.At that time, she wondered why Taokong Jiuxing didn't send them there by herself, but now it seems that she just wanted to bring them both into the ditch.And the whole Chang'an city hates her and Li Tai the most, except Li Chengqian, who else can't think of.There was no movement for so long before, so it turned out that she had been dormant looking for opportunities. Li Chengqian's actions of framing her made her feel that it was nothing more than that, but this time she was impressed. She used foreign envoys to reduce her guard, and Tang Shan On the surface, she had nothing to do with Li Chengqian, and so far, she really didn't think of a way to exonerate herself.Both Changle and Yuzhang had intentionally reminded her before to be wary of Li Chengqian and stay away from Li Tai. It was ridiculous that she didn't care at the time, relying on knowing the outcome of the future, she insisted on trying to provoke as much as possible between the two brothers, but Forget that while the outcome of a story is important, so is the process.As a person who participated in the process, she may soon taste the sourness of the process.

"Guan Xin, come out, my lord is going to be interrogated."

So fast?As soon as Guan Xin reached the door of the cell, someone grabbed his arm and put him in chains.It was so heavy, Guan Xin frowned, endured the pain of the iron chain on his wrist, and was pushed to the door of a room.The door was opened, and the unpleasant smell in the room rushed straight into her nostrils, almost making her vomit, making her feel nauseous. It was a bloody smell mixed with damp and moldy, and it seemed to be mixed with the smell of excrement. In short, Guan Xin I've never smelled such an unpleasant smell.He was pushed into the house, and the door behind him was locked from the outside.He raised his hand to cover his nose with great effort, it was really disgusting.Resisting the nausea, he looked around and saw various instruments of torture hanging on one of the walls. He felt a sudden in his heart, is this going to torture her?To play the rhythm of the dead ah.

Not long after, the door behind him opened again, Guan Xin turned around and saw the person coming, his heart sank to the bottom, it's over!It's dead, the sourness comes too fast.

"How about it, is the girl satisfied with everything in this room?" Li Chengqian stuffed this handkerchief between his mouth and nose, looked at Guan Xin's obviously frightened appearance, and smiled happily.

"His Royal Highness, is this going to be a lynching?" Guan Xin looked at Li Chengqian, who was dressed in fancy clothes that didn't fit in the environment, and really wanted to ride him under him and beat him up, but the reality was that she could only take him with him. Holding the heavy iron chain, she tried to delay the time as much as possible, hoping that the little eunuch in Jinyang could help her find reinforcements in time.

"How could the prince know how to break the law and use lynching? I came here to personally supervise the evidence of your collaborating with the enemy and treason at the order of my father. Come, tie her up."

Seeing Li Chengqian laughing more and more provocatively, Guan Xin's hairs were about to explode.Hastily waved his hands, "Don't, don't come here, there is no interrogation, I will recruit, I will recruit all, what you say is what you say, I will admit it all, don't put me to death." She will not be interrogated if a hero does not suffer immediate losses, she absolutely believes , if she dared to shout a word of injustice, what awaited her would be a room full of torture instruments beckoning her over and over again, definitely more powerful than Li Shimin's board.

Li Chengqian seemed not expecting Guan Xin to compromise so easily, he was taken aback for a moment, and then laughed.But in Guan Xin's eyes, that smile seemed even more ferocious. In her eyes, the originally handsome face now looked more like a devil with its teeth bared and ears pricked up in hell.

"You are smart, but it's a pity that your smartness is used in the wrong place. Do you think you can hide from it if you admit it?" Li Chengqian walked to the wall full of torture tools in person, inspected it carefully, and seemed to be full of comments. It's about choosing which instrument of torture to use first.

Guan Xin was held down by the guards who came in from outside, and tied to the ten pillars on one side, watching Li Chengqian in horror as he carefully selected.I prayed silently in my heart, the rescuers will come quickly, if she doesn't come, she will suffer.

It was just that praying seemed useless, and Li Chengqian chose his favorite tool, the whip, before the rescue came.He took it in his hand and shook it, the whirring sound in the air was enough to show how hard he was rolling the whip.With a hateful smile, he walked to the bucket beside him, and stirred it with the whip.

Guan Xin was so frightened that she subconsciously swallowed her saliva, and the fear in her heart reached a new height.Dip the whip in cold water to see if it is strong.Does it have to be so exciting?With a whip, the skin will be torn apart, right?Yuzhang, Changle, where are you, come quickly.Silently praying to the gods and Buddhas all over the sky in my heart, rescue soldiers will come from the sky quickly!

"What are you doing, get out of the way, let me in."

There was noise outside the door.Guan Xin's heart, which was about to sink to the bottom, suddenly rose with hope, has the savior come?Li Chengqian frowned, and raised his chin at the guard at the door.The guard at the door signaled to the outside, the door was opened, and Guan Xin saw Xu Wentao who was fighting with someone at the door.Why is it him, can he shock Li Chengqian?

"My subordinate, Xu Wentao, has seen His Highness the Crown Prince. Is Your Highness going to punish the suspect? It is against the rules to use the punishment without going through the trial." Xu Wentao glanced at Guan Xin, saw that she was not harmed, and let her go slightly. Heart, I am glad that I came in time.It's not that he has a personal relationship with Guan Xin, nor is it because of anyone's face, it's just that he knows the enmity between the crown prince and Guan Xin, and Guan Xin was tortured without authorization before the trial of the case of collaborating with the enemy has started. , Of course, such illegal operations are not allowed to happen under his nose.

"I don't need you to remind me how to judge the case. If you want to see it, just stand here obediently. If you don't want to watch it, get out and don't hinder the judge's case." Li Chengqian came to Guan Xin with a whip that was still dripping. In front of him, the other end of the wooden whip raised Guan Xin's chin, his cold gaze, and the corner of his mouth with an evil smile, all revealing the inevitable madness.

"His Royal Highness, if you insist on going your own way, don't blame the officials for telling the emperor truthfully." Seeing Li Chengqian's posture, Xu Wentao knew that Guan Xin might not be able to escape today, but based on Li Chengqian's current attitude, after this torture, Guan Xin will not die. He also had to die for half his life, and he had a vague feeling that Guan Xin was probably framed again this time. As the young minister of Dali Temple, if Guan Xin was forced to die in front of him, his conscience would be too bad. How else would he face the emperor who trusted him, and he would have no face to wear the black gauze hat on his head again.

Guan Xin didn't expect that the first person who came to rescue her would be Xu Wentao, who didn't have much contact with each other, and even didn't have a good impression of each other. He was very grateful to Xu Wentao for speaking for her under such circumstances and resisting Li Chengqian's pressure for her. "Master Xu, I will recruit, I will recruit all, I admit all the crimes you mentioned, I just ask you not to torture me, and please convey to the emperor for me, I want to explain my guilt to your majesty, please .”

"Humph"

Li Chengqian snorted coldly, turned around and left with the whip in his hand.Just when Guan Xin and Xu Wentao thought that Li Chengqian had given up the punishment, Li Chengqian suddenly turned around and swung the whip out with a bang, that was the sound of the whip colliding with the flesh.Immediately afterwards, Guan Xin's heart-piercing shouts came out almost simultaneously with the sound of the whip.

Guan Xin only felt that at that moment just now, there was a bang in the head, from the right shoulder, to the chest, and then to the left rib. pain.The blue veins on the forehead popped up, and in an instant, beads of sweat burst out of the pain, and tears came out of the eyes. After shouting, he held his breath, clenched his teeth, tensed his muscles, and clenched his fists, waiting for the burning pain to subside a little.

"His Royal Highness, this is an abuse of lynching. I will definitely report to His Majesty what happened at this moment." Xu Wentao was so angry that he stared and clenched his fists.

"Report, you go and report, I am here waiting for the emperor's will, but since you want to report, then I will naturally give you some more evidence to report, otherwise, wouldn't I be sorry for your uprightness ?" With that said, Li Chengqian waved the whip in his hand again.

Guan Xin was trembling all over from the whipping. The pain just now hadn't passed yet, so it came again.The teeth were creaked by her, and it was to make myself try not to shout out. The left side of the neck, including the position behind the ear, lost consciousness and became numb at the moment of pain, and there was a buzzing in the head. , the left ear also seemed to be buzzing, and even Xu Wentao's voice sounded far away.Sweat fell into the eyes, mixed with tears, and the vision became blurred, as if breathing was accompanied by pain.Seeing Li Chengqian raise his hand again in his blurred vision, Guan Xin closed his eyes weakly, and silently gathered up the remaining strength, preparing to wait for the coming pain.With a muffled grunt, the whip didn't land on her body, and she quickly opened her eyes, only to see a painful face, Xu Wentao used his back to take the whip for her.

Xu Wentao didn't look at Guan Xin too much, but after receiving the whip, he immediately turned around, stood in front of Guan Xin, and faced Li Chengqian uprightly, "If His Royal Highness insists on doing this, then I will first serve as an official!" Let's do it, as the young minister of Dali Temple, I have the obligation to correct His Highness's mistakes, and I also have the obligation to protect the life of the suspect in prison. It is a dereliction of duty for the suspect to be harmed without a normal interrogation. If the emperor doesn't pursue it, the lower officials will have no face to face the black gauze hat on the neck."

"Okay, you are fine, I remember you. Today I will sell you face." Li Chengqian threw the whip in his hand, and sneered at Guan Xin who was in pain and sweating, "Enough fun today, It’s not bad for me to look at those bamboo sticks, Guan Xin, let’s play some other day.”
