Let's say that Xiao Tang asked: "Do you know that Concubine Shu wants to harm Huaizhen?" ”

King Xi was stunned, slowly sat down, frowned and asked, "I haven't heard about this, where did you know about it?" ”

Xiao Tang said: "Don't ask." You only told me that Concubine Shu wanted to harm Huaizhen, what was she for...... Do you understand? ”

The shadow of the sun shone in faintly through the door, the sunlight was slightly yellow, a little warm, but the hearts of the two people were slightly cool.

King Xi put the cup down, he naturally understood that Xiao Tang did not ask about this for no reason, and sighed with a wry smile: "Why do you ask me like this? ”

Xiao Tang's eyes were calm, and he said: "It's just because I know a secret in my heart that can't be told to anyone, but I think this matter is related to you after all, and you may not know it." ”

King Xi pondered for a moment before he said: "You don't say it to me directly, naturally you are afraid that I don't know, and you say it rashly, but I am afraid that you will leak the news, - to tell you the truth, I can probably guess what you mean, but you are only suspicious in your heart, and you don't dare to think about it." ”

Xiao Tang secretly took a deep breath and didn't speak, and suddenly regretted it.

Sure enough, King Xi glanced at him, lowered his eyes and smiled, and said, "However, you have deliberately mentioned this sentence to me now, which has made my suspicions a little settled." ”

Xiao Tang's hands were slightly folded, staring at King Xi tightly, and he didn't know what to say at the moment.

It stands to reason that King Xi will not be like him, and will peek through the bottom of Ying Lanfeng, after all, King Xi is not like him, and found the golden hairpin from Huaizhen, but Xiao Tang knows that King Xi is not as simple as it seems from the outside, and there is no shortage of his hands and eyeliner in the capital...... It may not be ignorant of the truth, but it must not be underestimated.

Although Xiao Tang had speculations before, he didn't dare to speak first, because he understood what kind of character King Xi was...... For fear that he didn't know, he would give himself a reminder, but immediately draw inferences.

However, because of Mr. Zhu's words, he received a secret report from the direction of Silla today, so he couldn't press it for a while, so he came to King Hee's mansion.

Seeing King Xi say this, Xiao Tang's heart throbbed, and he regretted more and more that he acted impulsively, after collecting the golden hairpin, he made up his mind to bury this secret in his heart, who knew that because of his concern, he was a little confused.

King Xi looked at Xiao Tang's face differently, and he said: "Don't worry, I'm just thinking about it, after all, there is no real evidence, so I can't be true." What's more, even if it's true? ”

Xiao Tang said abruptly: "Where did you start to get suspicious?" ”

King Xi thought for a while, recalled and said: "At first, I just felt that Mrs. Pingjing treated her too well, Mrs. Pingjing was a nosy character, but that time for this girl, she went to Ying Gong's Mansion to confront Mrs. Ying...... After that, it's Lord Lin......"

When Xiao Tang heard King Xi speak like this, the last glimmer of hope in his heart was also extinguished, and he regretted it for a while.

But I heard King Xi continue: "Lord Lin has always been very bad with Lord Ying, and it is strange to say, Lord Lin's temperament has always been fair and strict, but it is obvious to all that Lord Ying is a capable and good talent, and everyone praises him, so that others are like this, Lord Lin is only afraid that he will treat him differently, and he is very serious, but he has always been cold and alienated from the corresponding adult. ”

Xiao Tang heard him say these words, but he felt inexplicable, because he asked, "What does this mean?" ”

King Xi looked into his eyes, then laughed, and said, "You don't understand this, but ...... You should always know what it means to be 'homesick'? The same is true of people, such as those who have lost a loved one and then meet someone else who is similar to them...... How would you react? ”

Xiao Tang still didn't quite understand, but in his heart, he didn't want to explore it, because he didn't even want to think about what it would mean to him if he lost that person.

Therefore, Xiao Tang only frowned and said, "If you explain it, why do you want to ask me?" ”

King Xi understood his thoughts very well, so he sneered and said: "According to people's different temperaments, there will be roughly two reactions, first, most of them will feel close, and they can't wait to renew their friendship; Second, however, you will feel disgusted and resistant when you encounter a fake...... But most of the people who belong to this second category are afraid that although they have a sense of resistance, they do not know where this resistance comes from, because they have not yet realized that the reason why the new person is not happy with them is because they are very similar to the person they have in their hearts. -- It's just instinctively disgusting or disliking, or fearing alienation. ”

Xiao Tang's eyes widened, and then he understood what King Xi meant: "You mean, the reason why the teacher is alienated from Master Ying is not that he really doesn't like him, but he just subconsciously feels that he is with ......."

King Xi nodded, his eyes were slightly confused, and said: "This is called the authorities' fandom, but it's a pity that Lord Lin is smart, but he has fallen into a maze here." ”

Xiao Tang was surprised in his heart, firstly, he was surprised that this truth was like this, and secondly, he was surprised that King Xi could be so perceptive.

Xiao Tang froze and asked, "Do you have anything to do?" ”

King Xi narrowed his gaze before he said: "Naturally, there are still the following, these are just what I guessed later." Lord Lin has always been estranged from Ying Lanfeng, but on that day, he suddenly visited Ying Gong's Mansion and met Huaizhen. ”

Xiao Tang's heart was awe-inspiring, - this thing that seemed to others to be just ordinary fell in the eyes of King Xi, and it became a big flaw for him to peel off the cocoon to get a glimpse of the truth.

Sure enough, King Xi said, "How could Lord Lin be abnormal? This is naturally meaningful, and later, I saw that he was deliberately targeting the prince everywhere, which was very different from his former style, everyone knew that the prince's status could not be shaken, but he was just a state of ignoring a qiē to flirt with the tiger's whiskers, in the eyes of me, a bystander, it was actually ...... It seems that he wants to anger the prince...... A state of martyrdom that gave his life. ”

Xiao Tang suddenly felt slightly cold, slowly lowered his head, picked up the wine cup, and drank another glass.

King Xi said: "Later, I learned from the mouth of Jing Shen that Lord Lin was leaving, and he had entrusted him with two things. ”

What was Lin Shenzhou entrusting Ling Jingshen, Xiao Tang also asked Jingshen, but he kept silent and did not tell him.

At this moment, Xiao Tang looked up at King Xi: "He told you?" ”

King Xi raised his eyebrows and said, "He didn't tell you?" ”

Xiao Tang nodded and said, "He said that I don't need to pay attention." ”

King Xi said: "With your cleverness, I'm afraid that he won't say it, and you already know it, but you still don't dare to say it...... Well, since we've all talked about it, I'll just tell you......"

Xiao Tang secretly held his breath, but listened to King Xi say: "Lord Lin's last wish is to take the lives of the crown prince and King Su. ”

When Xiao Tang heard this, he closed his eyes slightly and frowned - sure enough, he expected it!

The Moon Devouring Wheel fell from the hands of Mr. Zhu to the hands of Jing Shen, and the people of Jing Shen acted under the hands of King Su, and Qianfu pointed out that the prince was ordered by King Su to get rid of him.

Regardless of whether the order to get rid of the crown prince was given by King Su or not, there is no doubt that the people to whom King Su belonged.

Or the depth of field pushes the boat along the water and takes the opportunity to act.

So when Concubine Shu ordered Jing Shen to attack Huai Zhen, Jing Shen did not hesitate to use the Moon Devouring Wheel to confess his heart and make friends with Ying Lanfeng, but I am afraid that Jing Shen is also worried that if King Su falls, it will be involved, and the impact will be too great, and he will not be able to get out, and the Moon Devouring Wheel will fall from his hands to Ying Lanfeng's hands, which is really a wise move, and now that Mr. Zhu has returned to Beijing, if he is investigated, this thing has changed hands, and the depth of field is actually innocent of both hands.

Xiao Tang was speechless for a while, and King Xi said: "Don't get me wrong, depth of field is not everything that I say......"

Speaking of this, King Xi glanced at Xiao Tang meaningfully, and said: "This matter was also explained by King Su before the incident, although I know, but first, the three of us grew up together, and secondly, it involves your mentor Lord Lin, so I can only hide it in my heart." ”

Xiao Tang nodded and said, "Yes." ”

King Xi saw that his cup was empty, so he persuaded him: "You are in a hurry to drink, pay attention to getting drunk, and when you go home, Xiaohuai really doesn't like it, and even I blame it." ”

Xiao Tang was silent, so King Xi poured him another glass, and said slowly: "After the golden flying squirrel escaped from prison before, didn't we talk about it in private?" said that it was related to Concubine De of Yongfu Palace, and I had no clue at the time, but since Lord Lin was killed, Jing Shen told me about it again, I remembered, could it be that this matter is related to Lord Lin...... I also know that the day before Mr. Lin's accident, Mr. Zhu went to his house, and after Mr. Lin's accident, Mr. Zhu went to Yinggong's mansion and saw Huaizhen alone. ”

Xiao Tang couldn't cry and laughed, and said, "I still underestimate you, you don't even have a good grasp of these?" ”

King Xi nodded and said: "I'm ashamed, I just have a lot of idlers, so I know more messy things, but in fact, it has no effect, and it makes you laugh." ”

Where would Xiao Tang laugh and said, "You haven't finished talking yet." ”

King Xi said "um" and said: "I found out that Lord Lin has some friendship with Concubine De, and Lord Lin will never forget the prince and King Su until his death, but I am afraid that it is also related to the death of Concubine De." Later, it's the matter of the concubine you said......"

That day, he was critically ill because of smoking, and Huaizhen did not hesitate to fight against Concubine Shu, who lost her temper in a hurry, but King Xi also knew about it.

After listening to this, Xiao Tang said: "Speaking of which, you really don't have any real evidence, just suspicion?" ”

King Xi looked at him and said thoughtfully: "You said that I was too true when I lied, and I really believed it myself, I have been friends with you for almost thirty years, and I was not annoyed when you were suspicious of me before, but you ......"

Xiao Tang frowned, the two looked at each other, and King Xi said: "I promise you, I will not change, if you ask me, I will answer if I can, and I will never lie to you." Yes, I don't have any real evidence for this, and the above is all nonsense, but there is one more person who is very important. ”

Xiao Tang couldn't look directly into his eyes, so he lowered his eyelids and said, "Who else?" ”

King Xi said slowly: "Although you and I have not had the chance to meet Concubine De, there is a person who has seen Concubine De Niangniang, and he is quite familiar with Huaizhen. ”

Xiao Tang's heart was pounding, and he couldn't imagine that there would be anyone...... Could it be that King Xi is talking about fortune? Or......

was conjecturing, King Xi said: "Since I said that I won't hide it from you, I will tell you the truth, this person is not someone else, it is Yang Jiugong." ”

As soon as these words came out, Xiao Tang raised his head suddenly: he had guessed a lot, but he didn't think of Yang Jiugong!

Sure enough, Yang Jiugong was waiting for Emperor Cheng's side, and he was naturally familiar with Concubine De, and Yang Jiugong was the most perceptive and good at knowing Emperor Cheng's thoughts, but he was afraid that he would see the clues from the side, and he didn't know.

Xiao Tang looked at King Xi for a long time and asked, "...... Yang Jiugong with you?"

Yang Jiugong is the most loyal to Emperor Cheng, so he has been Emperor Cheng's confidant for decades, even though the prince has a lot of ties with King Su, he has never said anything to anyone, but no one has offended, I didn't expect to have such a friendship with King Xi: I am willing to tell him the most confidential news.

King Xi understood what Xiao Tang meant, so he smiled and said: "Don't look at Grandpa Jiu is very slippery, but he is very good to me, I have not met you in the palace since I was a child, I was bullied, and thanks to Grandpa Jiu taking care of me, if it weren't for that, I'm afraid I wouldn't have the life to wait until I met you......"

King Xi's eyes were slightly red, but he smiled again, and said: "When I was a child, I was bullied, and every time I had the idea of not wanting to live anymore, Grandpa Jiu would secretly tell me, saying that I was blessed, I just didn't believe it...... However, all the way to this point, I am really blessed, with Grandpa Jiu secretly caring, and you accompanying me all the way. - You are the people I can't turn my back on, you can doubt everything, I just hope you don't doubt me...... Purpose. ”

Xiao Tang sighed silently, lowered his head and took a sip of wine, and asked again, "Yang Jiugong told you...... What the? ”

King Xi said: "Although Grandpa Jiu loves me, he is a cautious person in the end, and he is loyal to his father, so he didn't talk to me about anything else, but when I told him about Huaizhen, he inadvertently mentioned it,...... He said that Huaizhen was ...... There is the shadow of the former concubine. ”

- And for a person like King Xi, one sentence is enough.

Xiao Tang smiled and said, "I see. ”

Seeing him smiling, King Xi asked, "Okay, I've told you everything I know, so what do you ...... And how do you know? ”

Xiao Tang asked, but he couldn't answer.

However, King Xi told him all his secrets, but he kept them a secret, as if he had some ...... But if you really tell the story of Jin Hai and confirm the identities of Huaizhen and Ying Lanfeng, who knows in the future...... Will there be another trouble?

When Xiao Tang hesitated, King Xi understood, and said with a smile: "I'm doing it too much, you and Xiao Huaizhen are now husband and wife, I'm afraid that she has some flaws for you to know, and I don't know." If you don't tell me, I won't ask, so that you won't be embarrassed, -- after talking for a long time, the food will be cold. ”

As he spoke, King Xi called the maid to come, took down the dishes and heated them, and called for a few fresh dishes.

Xiao Tang listened to his instructions in his ear, and said, "Do you know, does the emperor know about this matter?" ”

At this moment, the maids all retreated, King Xi turned around, and said lightly: "The ninth grandfather feels like it, but I am afraid that my father will also know it." However, my father has always refused to make it clear, which is naturally a meaning that he does not want to expose. ”

Xiao Tang originally thought the same way, so even if he knew the inside story, he never dared to speak to anyone, these royal secrets were by no means gossip and gossip, even if they talked about it, their lives were at stake at every turn.

Since Emperor Cheng refused to make it clear, there was naturally a reason, who would dare to toss around?

What's more, if the crown prince and King Su have continuous accidents, if a real and false prince is brought out, how can the country be a country?

Not to mention that Mr. Zhu brought Zhang Ye back again...... It was not easy to recognize the imperial grandson, if something else happened, how could the entire royal family have face.

And this kind of thing is the blood of the royal family, Xiao Tang really would rather Ying Lanfeng not, as far as he is concerned, Prince Su has fallen, not to mention whether Ying Lanfeng's identity can be proven, even if it is really confirmed...... How should we talk about the matter of establishing a reserve? No one can accept a "prince" who was born out of thin air to ascend to the throne, not to mention that this prince was originally an admirable minister.

Even if the identity of this important minister is exposed, I am afraid that it will cause the ministers to mutiny.

Taking a step back, King Xi has long been expected, in fact, as early as after the prince's accident, although it seems that King Su is in front, but the ministers are all people who are good at observing the direction of the wind, and secretly half of the courtiers are optimistic about King Xi, only those who are reckless and unbearable will do their best to tie up King Su.

No one else said it, but said that it was the Tang family, and as early as when Lin Shenzhou set out to deal with the crown prince, he had already secretly contacted King Xi.

Therefore, no matter what considerations come from, Ying Lanfeng's identity must not change.

It can only be stable.

Xiao Tang understands, King Xi understands, and Emperor Cheng understands even more that what everyone is doing now is to stand still, the imperial grandson recognizes it, and settles in the former prince's mansion.

Xiao Tang picked up the cup and unconsciously took another sip, the liquor entered his throat, and he was a little heartburned.

He didn't want to tell anyone about this secret, but now he confessed it to King Xi.

And now that King Xi knows, then Xiao Tang has no way out.

He drank slowly, his eyes flashed with thought, and King Xi also looked at him, as if he knew that he was worried, so he didn't bother him at all.

After a while, Xiao Tang finally put down his wine glass and said: "You just said that I was suspicious of you and the like, I didn't mean to doubt you, but you should know that you are going to ascend the throne after all, and there will be a difference ......between the monarch and the minister when the time comes."

King Xi smiled and twisted his eyebrows, stared at his eyes, and said: "If you say this, then my intentions will be in vain, if you doubt that I will ascend the throne in the future, it will be unfavorable to you, as long as you say a word, - now that the emperor has not officially decreed the establishment of a prince, I have a way to remove this throne." This is not a joke. ”

Xiao Tang shook his head and smiled: "I'm afraid that you won't ascend the throne, and now it's difficult to ride a tiger." Well, you listen to me...... I had been suspicious of you, but since you blocked that arrow for me, I have ......."

After all, no one knows life and death with that arrow, if at such a moment of life and death, King Xi can be hypocritical, then this person is almost demonic.

And with Xiao Tang's experience, on the battlefield, an arrow flies, and people have no chance to think carefully, they just act on instinct, so King Xi at that time was really willing to sacrifice his life to protect him.

When King Xi heard Xiao Tang's words, his eyes flickered slightly, and he revealed a gentle smile, and said: "You can say this, my arrow was not in vain, and the pain that was like digging into the heart was worth it, it's just that I am really unhappy with Xiao Huai today, and I will pour you a few more cups." King Xi said, and then added wine to Xiao Tang.

Xiao Tang watched the crisp wine pour into the glass, the hall was extremely silent at the moment, and even the crisp sound of the wine could be heard, the shadow of the sun shifted obliquely, shining on the table, the transparent water droplets jumped and danced, and finally returned to calm, leaving only a ripple.

King Xi held his sleeve and sat down firmly again, before he wanted to raise his glass, Xiao Tang suddenly said: "Yongmu, although I know that you will not hurt me, but since I have explained this secret today...... I'm afraid that there is a thorn in your heart, and in the future, I don't know that you will not correspond to Lan Feng and Huaizhen......"

King Xi raised his eyes to look at him, and for a moment, he smiled and said, "It turns out that you came here specifically for this?" Well, in that case, I swear to you that if I hurt Xiao Huaizhen or Ying Lanfeng, call me ...... How about telling me to pierce my heart with ten thousand arrows? I don't want to experience that heart-digging pain again, this vow is poisonous enough? He raised his glass and raised his eyebrows with a smile at Xiao Tang.

Xiao Tang also raised his eyes to look at him, nodded and said, "It's indeed poisonous enough, however, I want you to change it." ”

King Xi was puzzled, holding a wine glass and laughing: "Is there anything more vicious than ten thousand arrows piercing the heart?" ”

Xiao Tang smiled: "About yes." You just follow me...... If you hurt Huaizhen or Ying Lanfeng, you will tell me Tang Yi to pierce my heart with ten thousand arrows, and I will not die well. ”

King Xi was still smiling, but when he heard the last sentence, he frowned, looked at Xiao Tang coldly, and the cup in his hand also "snapped" back to the table, and most of the wine spilled out.

Xiao Tang didn't squint, his face was still indifferent, and he said, "Last time, you blocked the arrow for me, in fact, I owe you a life...... If you really break your oath and it is not good for Huaizhen and Ying Lanfeng, then ...... and I took my life. ”

King Xi couldn't bear it anymore, got up and said, "You are for that girl...... Will you do this? If you don't believe me, it's okay, why bother to gamble with yourself! ”

Xiao Tang said: "This is also because I believe in you." If you really have what you say and treat me as true, then ...... You will never break this oath, and I will not answer it, and if you do, then I will believe you wrongly, and it is fair to take this oath. ”(.)
