Chapter 252, Story
Hearing Weiyang's words, King Xiao calmed down, and he knew her attitude towards herself better than anyone else.
If she hadn't deceived her and made her think that she had a skin-to-skin relationship with her, she would never have agreed to marry herself!
Now, although she resists being close to him, she has rightfully become his princess.
No one can deny this!
You can't be anxious, you will lose your efforts if you are in a hurry!
King Xiao let out a long breath and let go of her shoulders with both hands.
In this way, the carriage was unusually quiet, and the two of them also had their own thoughts.
Only occasionally, Weiyang's voice can be heard sobbing.
"It's here! Stop crying, let my mother see it, it's time to worry again! ”
Since the last time Weiyang rejected Concubine Mei's jade bracelet, Concubine Mei has suspected that she is not willingly marrying him.
This made King Xiao very angry, in fact, deep down in his heart, he was very reluctant to hear others say that he took it by force, just like his father.
He thinks that he is not obsessed with Weiyang's beauty, but because of his sincerity towards her.
If you want to talk about beauty, she is not the most beautiful, even her sister Yutong is a little more beautiful than her.
What he fell in love with was her vividness, her straightforwardness, her arrogance, and her chivalrous courage!
And, of course, her dedication to love.
He's not a womanizer, he's just obsessed.
This is completely different from his father!
Lifting the curtain, Weiyang found that he had come to the courtyard where Concubine Mei lived, so he wiped the tears on his face and stiffly pulled out a smile.
"Don't worry! It won't happen again! ”
As soon as he got out of the carriage, he saw Lu Dongbin running out in a hurry.
"Where have you gone, I haven't seen anyone in the morning after looking for you, mother...... My mother cried so much that she didn't want to live! ”
Lu Yubin pulled King Xiao's sleeve and dragged him into the house.
When I heard Concubine Mei crying, she didn't want to live anymore, but King Xiao was in a hurry, so she hurriedly asked.
"Why don't you want to live all of a sudden? What's going on? ”
"Alas! It's also me who is talkative, and when I was shopping for vegetables in the morning, I passed by the Imperial History Mansion and saw that the entire mansion was heavily guarded. I didn't know what was going on, so I went up and inquired, and the result was ...... It is said that in order to protect the safety of the family members of the Imperial Historian, there will be heavy guards. ”
"When I heard it, it was for protection! Only then did he put his mind at ease, but just as he was about to leave, he saw his uncle's son Zhu Bingren clamoring to go out, and the result was ...... The soldiers guarding the gate did not say a word, and beat them with a cane. The mouth also threatened: If you dare to trespass again, you will be beaten to death with a stick. Do you say it's protection? ”
"I'm in a hurry, and when I came back, I told my mother about it, and my mother cried to death, and I had to go to the Imperial History Mansion to see it!"
When King Xiao heard this, he was really angry, and his fingers trembled and pointed at him and scolded.
"What do you say? At such an age, you can't hold back a little bit of something in your heart? Uncle has been lost for so long, and I haven't let my mother know, so you're fast, aren't you? ”
"Uncle lost you and didn't look for it, and now you don't care if something happens to the Imperial History Mansion, and you still come to scold me, you ...... You surnamed Fang are all cold-blooded and ruthless! ”
Lu Tongbin did not show weakness, and stood in the courtyard with King Xiao and scolded.
"Believe it or not, I'm beating you!"
King Xiao was scolded very wronged by him, he sent people to look for the missing officials every day, who said that he would not look for it!
He has so many things to worry about, how can he be like him...... Be courteous in front of his mother all day long!
"Phew! The surname Fang, I know that you don't like your uncle, your uncle is my father's classmate, he must not be able to see your father killing my father, he actually hates your Fang family very much......"
"Bang dang", Lu Dongbin didn't finish a word, he was pushed to the corner by King Xiao and fell on his back.
"Hmm! You actually beat me, I will kill you and avenge my father......"
As soon as Weiyang met, the two were about to fight, and they couldn't care about their mood, so they came to Lu Dongbin in a few steps and blocked him.
"Stop fighting, Zhu Baoqing is fine! Stop his family! ”
Weiyang's words suddenly quieted down the two high-spirited men.
They all came to her and asked.
"How do you know?"
Weiyang shook his head and said, "I won't say anything if I ask, he's fine anyway!" ”
King Xiao's eyes flashed, he already understood in his heart that Weiyang must know where those officials were hiding.
Weiyang's words immediately reassured everyone, and Concubine Mei stopped crying, standing at the door and looking at Weiyang expectantly, wanting her to tell her where Zhu Baoqing was hiding.
"Weiyang ......"
"Niangniang, being able to keep him safe is already my greatest ability!" Even if he couldn't bear to look at Concubine Mei's anxious eyes, Weiyang knew what to say and what to do, so he immediately opened his mouth to explain his bottom line.
Concubine Mei nodded while crying, and looked up at King Xiao again.
"Hui'er, you have to keep the Imperial History Mansion, don't let them ...... Suffering! ”
Thinking that her nephew was beaten, and she didn't know what happened, Concubine Mei was really anxious.
"Mother, the ...... of the Imperial History Mansion It's the queen mother, and Cui Gang's soldiers can't take care of it. But...... I could have seen it myself. ”
King Xiao can only do so much, and the Queen Mother is clearly pinched in her hands because of something, so she was scared to make such an unwise move.
Fearing that the missing officials would turn their backs and surrender, they used their families as hostages to keep those people from talking nonsense.
I don't know...... This will only intensify the contradictions, and after a long time, I am afraid that there will be uncontrollable conflicts, which will make the contradictions deeper and deeper!
Hearing King Xiao mention the Queen Mother and Cui Gang, the queen who was chanting scriptures in the house also came out.
"Hui'er, are you sure it's the order of the Queen Mother?" The queen asked eagerly.
King Xiao nodded and said, "The Queen Mother once tested my intentions and wanted me to order the siege of the missing officials' mansions, but I didn't agree. As a result, within two days, it was discovered that the garrison in the south of the city had entered the city, and the families of the missing officials were wantonly confined to them, and those who resisted were severely punished, and in the past few days, more than ten people were killed! ”
"Who has Cui Gang imprisoned?" The queen asked with some concern.
"Zhu Baoqing, the master of the imperial history, Qiu Zhen, the secretary of the ministry, Yan Zhanhuai of Guanglu Temple, and the left general of Xiaoji Camp are not sick...... "King Xiao said in a series of more than a dozen important ministers of the imperial court, several of whom are still relatives of the emperor.
After hearing the names of these people, the queen immediately frowned.
"Niangniang......" Seeing that the queen's face was covered with gloom, Weiyang whispered worriedly.
"All of them are people who have followed the former prince!" After a moment, the queen mother said with a long sigh.
These Xiao kings already know, but even so, the Queen Mother can't ban their families!
"But so what? The first prince set up rebellion and tried to usurp the throne, but was deposed by the first emperor for many years. How could they be so ignorant and follow such people? ”
King Xiao didn't think that those officials would betray the Changling Kingdom, so this sentence was right.
"Hui'er, things are far from being as simple as you think!" The queen narrowed her eyes, as if remembering what had happened before.
Why did the Queen Mother say that? The first prince killed the king, that's what I saw with my own eyes! "King Xiao doesn't understand, why does everyone say he is wrong?
The queen chuckled and said, "Dong Bin's disguise technique can be used to confuse the real with the fake, and what you see may not be true." ”
Indeed, if you want to pretend to be a person, Lu Dongbin can do it.
"What does the Queen Mother know?" King Xiao asked tentatively.
The queen nodded solemnly and said, "Although there is no evidence, I also have a guess about the real murderer." ”
"Mother?" Weiyang pricked up his ears and waited nervously.
The queen closed her eyes in embarrassment and said after a moment.
"Hui'er, if this matter is true, the crime committed by the Cui family is enough to destroy the nine clans."
This sentence surprised everyone present!
"Queen Mother's ......" saw that the queen was silent, and King Xiao immediately knelt down and pleaded.
"The queen mother, maybe telling the truth will bring disaster to the Cui family, but if the truth is buried all the time, more people will be persecuted. Moreover, the truth will always be revealed to the world, and sooner or later the Cui family will have to bear the consequences for the crimes they have committed. The queen mother believed in the Buddha, how could she shelter her family from punishment and put those innocent people to suffer for the Cui family? ”
King Xiao's words suddenly made the queen burst into tears, and no one could understand the entanglement and embarrassment in her heart.
Her words implicate the rise and fall of the entire family, and the lives of hundreds of relatives!
So, for so many years, she could only remain silent!
Weiyang glanced at the queen worriedly, only to see that she closed her eyes tightly and didn't say a word, but the Buddhist beads in her hands twisted faster and faster.
"Queen Mother, in order to cover up the crime, the Cui family shot at more innocent people, beat Zhu Bingren today, and maybe kill more people tomorrow, how can you watch the Cui family's sins gather more and more?" Seeing that the queen was silent, King Xiao was so anxious that his eyes were on fire.
"Actually, before the crime...... I have seen Fang Jinshu ......" I don't know how long it took, the queen finally opened her eyes and said such a sentence.
King Xiao looked at the queen expectantly, hoping that she could continue.
But...... Why did the crown prince and Princess Xian meet in private?
"My father, Cui Huaru, was favored by Emperor Zhentai, and when he was the crown prince Shaobao, he made a special trip to teach the prince to read. Therefore, I have known Prince Fang Jinshu since childhood. ”
"Because of my father, I had a lot of contact with the prince at that time. He was a disciple cultivated by my father, and he also won the true inheritance of his father, not only knowledgeable, knowledgeable of the past and the present, but also a corporal of courtesy, elegant and modest, and his reputation among the court officials was also quite good, and he was a beloved prince. ”
"Perhaps, my father once thought of marrying me to the crown prince, but later, my father agreed to my aunt's request and married me to my cousin Fang Jince. Such a result...... Maybe it was my father and aunt who made the decision after weighing the pros and cons, which was also for the long-term interests of the whole family, in short, I and the crown prince Fang Jinshu have become strangers since then. ”
Hearing the queen tell about this past, Weiyang's heart was really upside down.
It turns out that Queen Cui and her master have such an ambiguous story, this is really a big gossip!
"And then?" Weiyang was completely attracted by this plot and couldn't help but ask.
"Later, I married King Xian and became Princess Xian, and he married the princess of the Ice Clan, and his life was very happy." The queen replied with a chuckle.
"Huh? How can this be the case? Hearing such an ending, Weiyang's face was obviously full of disappointment.
"Hehehe! Silly boy, fate is already like this, what else can be done? ”
Oh, yes! If the master marries the queen, there will be no Fang Hua tired. This is fate! Many accidents have contributed to today's inevitability.
Weiyang nodded, and continued to listen to the story of being sealed in the heart of the queen for decades.
