Chapter 16: The Hidden Past (2)
Naoko hesitated.
The Shadow Pavilion is a secret existence, although when the prince mentioned the Shadow Pavilion when he was in the Orchid Courtyard, he did not shy away from Chi Xiaoman, but whether he could tell her about the Shadow Pavilion was a different matter.
"Can't you say it?Brother Shang, I didn't know the secret of the Shadow Pavilion, anyway, I already knew that the owner of the Shadow Pavilion was the King of Huai'an, and if my guess was right, the Shadow Pavilion should be an intelligence organization. "She deduced from Lan Fang's claim that he was the Twelve Shadows. Usually people like Shadow and Secret Guard are either responsible for gathering information about the enemy or for assassination operations.
"Miss Chi is very smart. Shang Ziqi really convinced her, and he could guess what the Shadow Pavilion did, so there was no need to hide it from her.
Chi Xiaoman said with a smile: "It seems that I guessed correctly, I won't embarrass you, just tell me how Lan Fang met Yu Chimu, and then joined the Shadow Pavilion, why is he now a member of the Purple Garden...... Son. ”
Shang Ziqi seemed to fall into memory, and when Chi Xiaoman looked at him again, and was about to speak, he spoke: "I have been following the prince for seven years, and the prince was only fifteen years old at the time, but he already has amazing talents, whether it is governing the country or the theory of history, he can talk eloquently, but in a place like the palace, it is not a good thing to have extraordinary talents, especially when he is not in the position of the crown prince." ”
Chi Xiaoman nodded thoughtfully, and listened to him continue: "Although it is said that people are not jealous of mediocrity, but if they are jealous in the palace, they will cause trouble. Originally, the emperor often summoned the prince to talk about governing the country, but because he listened to the slander of the courtiers of the prince's party, he said that the prince formed a party for personal gain, intending to murder the prince and seize the throne of the prince. The crown prince was originally favored by the emperor, because he was born to the concubine who saved the emperor's life, so the emperor was suspicious of the prince, thinking that the prince had too much desire, and if he had the heart of killing his siblings, he would not have the idea of plotting to usurp the throne. As soon as the emperor thought of this, the sons of some ministers in the court were originally close friends with the prince, but because of the change in the emperor's attitude towards the prince, they chose to protect themselves and no longer associate with the prince. ”
Chi Xiaoman was a little puzzled, she asked Lan Fang and Ying Ge, but Brother Shang kept telling her about Wei Chimu's past. But she didn't interrupt him, because the more she listened, the more frightened she became, she didn't expect that Wei Chimu's life in the palace was so brilliant but also sad......
It was as if she could imagine what he had once been a high-spirited teenager, but now he had become such a dissolute and cynical appearance.
"The prince is a very smart person, from the moment when the friends who come and go on weekdays gradually alienate him, he knew that the emperor was suspicious of him, and then, the emperor no longer summoned the prince, and the prince did not have any desire to fight for power, so naturally he would not learn from the emperor, but he also changed his personality and became debauched, but I understand that it is just a manifestation that the prince wants the emperor to "rest assured" of him. Until the year of the weak crown, the prince invited himself to leave the palace, and the emperor naturally rewarded his fief Huai'an, and the prince was named the king of Huai'an. ”
"Yasukuni Huai'an...... Shouldn't it be a barren land?" Chi Xiaoman suddenly doubted that a fief of a prince who was not loved by the emperor might not be a good place.
"Haha!" Shang Ziqi laughed and said: "Although it is not in the middle, it is not far away! Huai'an is located in the north of Yasukuni, although the land is large, but the agricultural products are not abundant, because a large area of local land is desert, fortunately, there are frequent commercial exchanges between the city and Linxian, and the prince has made several measures to develop water conservancy there, which has also temporarily made up for the shortage of agricultural products. ”
"Huh?" Chi Xiaoman was a little dumbfounded, but being sealed in such a place, that guy Yu Chimu was really at ease with what he encountered!
"What about later, Brother Shang, you don't seem to have talked about the Shadow Pavilion and Lan Fang......" She had to remind again.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I missed it. Naokoqi lied calmly. He didn't rush to talk about the Shadow Pavilion and Lan Fang first, mainly to let her understand what kind of person the prince really was, so that the prince established the Shadow Pavilion, and why the people in the Shadow Pavilion were willing to work for the prince, it would be reasonable, otherwise even he would believe that she only saw the current surface of the King of Huai'an, and would believe that the prince had that kind of strength.
He cleared his throat and said, "One year after the emperor alienated the prince, the prince ...... I'll pick the key points to say, when the prince went out of the palace a few times, he saved the people in the Shadow Pavilion now, of course, a few of them were originally known and joined by the people in the Shadow Pavilion, no matter what, in short, we are all people who have received the favor of the prince and admired the prince, the establishment of the Shadow Pavilion is because although the prince has been alienated by the emperor, but there are still traitors in the court who want to assassinate the prince, so a few of us advised the prince to set up the Shadow Pavilion, which is dedicated to reconnaissance and collecting various news for the prince. ”
"As for Lan Fang...... He...... His situation is more complicated. Shang Ziqi frowned, as if thinking about what to say, and then continued: "Lan Fang's martial arts are quite strong, but because of the practice of madness, almost died, coincidentally rescued by the people in the Qinglou, he temporarily recuperated in the Qinglou, and promised to serve as a musician during the recuperation period to repay the grace of saving his life, but it was coincidental to let the second prince see it, and his appearance caused trouble, so that the second prince designed to be in a coma and imprisoned in a courtyard on the outskirts of Beijing. ”
"At that time, he went mad and lost all his martial arts, and he was powerless to resist at all, so he was ...... by the second prince" Shang Ziqi coughed twice, and he really couldn't say these words, this man did that thing...... Alas......
"I know, I was forced, right?" Chi Xiaoman said naturally. Her nature made Naoko blush, coughing even louder.
"Drink the water, be smooth, I'll wait to hear the following!" Chi Xiaoman handed him the water bag and asked curiously, "Did Lan Fang like men in the first place......?"
Naoko took a sip of water, and almost choked on her words. He took a few deep breaths and said smoothly: "I don't know this, anyway, he was about to flee when his skills were restored, and then he was discovered by the second prince's people, injured near the other courtyard, and was taken back to the Shadow Pavilion by the prince for treatment." After that, he seemed to be ...... to the prince Cough...... In short, he asked to join the Shadow Pavilion, but the prince disagreed, but Du Zuo felt that Lan Fang's martial arts were good, and since he had stayed in the Qinglou, he could blend into the Qinglou and become the eyes and ears of the prince, after all, there were many places in the Qinglou where the princes and ministers and the children of the nobles came and went, and it was definitely a good place to find out the news. ”
"Originally, Lan Fang had been staying in Yasukuni's Baihualou, but later because the Shadow Pavilion needed to collect some information about the Shengxing Dynasty, Lan Fang invited himself to come, as for why he chose to stay in Ziyuan, he had to ask himself. Shang Ziqi breathed a sigh of relief after speaking, because he carefully hid some things that he couldn't say, and it wasn't that he couldn't let Chi Xiaoman know, but he didn't think it was up to him to say it, this involved some of the prince's privacy, and it should be the prince himself who told her.
"I see. Chi Xiaoman laughed after hearing this, she was very sure that Lan Fang liked Wei Chimu, and I was afraid that it was because she was strengthened by the second prince many times that she gradually transformed into a man who liked men.
But what exactly is Lan Fang talking about with Yu Chimu now? She is very sure that Yu Chimu will not let Lan Fang get close to him, but will Lan Fang let go so lightly?
Some people are quite intense and terrifying about love, and they would rather burn it if they don't get it!
"Brother Shang, who is higher in martial arts between King Huai'an and Lan Fang?"
"Between the two. ”
While talking, their carriage had already left Guan County and headed for the next town.
