Chapter 70: The Companion's Side

The Jinyang officials headed by Li Yuan warmly invited Yang Guang to stay in the Jinyang Palace, because they had repelled the Turks and greatly damaged their vitality, presumably the Turks would be relatively subsided in the next few years.

But Yang Guangwan refused, and said with a smile: "I have thanked you for your kindness, but I have been away from the palace for a long time, and there are still many government affairs to be dealt with." ”

"Your Majesty, government affairs can also be handled in Jinyang. When the palace was built for a long time, although it was not as good as the Daxing Palace, it was also a resort for recuperation. Li Yuan bowed humbly and said.

"Hehe, Tang Gong's mind, I have received it, there is no need to discuss this matter." Yang Guang changed his words, and said: "Tang Gong has a meritorious service in saving the driver, and the son Li Shimin is smart and brave, and he has won my heart, and he is immediately named the imperial guard, accompanying me." ”

Li Yuan's expression froze, and it was only a second's effort, and he immediately came back to his senses, and said with a smile on his face: "The dog can be protected by His Majesty, I can't ask for it!" ”

Li Shimin was even more unhappy, anyone could hear that the emperor felt that Jinyang's power and appeal were too great, and he wanted to take his father hostage.

According to common sense, this situation is the eldest son, after all, he is a relative and has to inherit the title, which has more weight, maybe in Li Yuan's eyes, his second son is not as important as his brother Li Jiancheng.

In fact, Yang Guang still miscalculated, Li Shimin is very good, and he has always been with Li Yuan, Yang Guang naturally mistakenly thought that this young man was Li Yuan's eldest son. If Yang Guang could ask one more question, maybe he wouldn't have taken Li Shimin into the palace.

After explaining, Yang Guang's face showed a tired look, and everyone retreated, in fact, no one has rested well these days, and it is indeed time to sleep well.

After serving Yang Guang and taking medicine and lying down, Yuan Ziyan didn't feel sleepy at all, and quietly withdrew from the room, planning to talk to Li Shimin and look at the stars and the moon.

The two of them spent the moon before and after, Ernon and I, didn't the relationship heat up? Although there is an eldest grandson in the middle, if you get a true love, in fact, identity is not so important.

Yuan Ziyan looked up beautifully, and her little face turned bitter melon-like. Well, there wasn't even a single star in the sky, and a few thick and bleak clouds piled up around the dim moon, like boulders, ready to fall at any moment.

What the hell is this weather, it's not powerful at all! No romance at all!

If it is under this moonlight, no love words can be spoken. Forget it, let's change the reason!

It's better to say that I went to find my little brother to catch up, I haven't seen you for a long time, I miss my little brother very much, by the way, talk to Li Shimin again.

Hee-hee, that's it!

Yuan Ziyan hummed a little song and walked on the path, maybe everyone was sleepy, except for the occasional yawning slave, not even a single insect chirping, all the way quietly. Even if he is as bold as Yuan Ziyan, he also feels a chill in his back spine, and he panics, this atmosphere is too gloomy!

For love! Come on!

Yuan Ziyan kept cheering herself up, and when she passed an intersection, she suddenly heard a surprise shout, Senior Sister! Yuan Ziyan hurriedly turned his head and was pleasantly surprised to find that Li Chunfeng was walking outside with Li Shimin, what a coincidence!

"Chunfeng, Shimin, you are all here!" Yuan Ziyan trotted all the way over, and her excited little face was bright.

"Hehe, come out and relax." Li Shimin replied with a smile, a pair of bright eyes, and the darkness was dispelled in an instant, almost brightening Yuan Ziyan's eyes.

They were all young people, and the three of them soon had a common language, and you and I chatted one by one. Surprisingly, there was a sudden scream in the middle of the night, and it was a child.

Yuan Ziyan was not wary, but was also taken aback, and hurriedly looked for prestige, it was from a small courtyard.

"Senior sister, how can there be children here?" Li Chunfeng asked puzzled.

You must know that all the people who live here are the emperor and the concubines of the Hou Court and the important ministers of civil and military affairs, if you want to talk about children, there is only one, and that is Yang Guang's baby pimple Yang Gao, is there someone who wants to attack him?

Yuan Ziyan hurriedly ran quickly in the direction of the shouting sound, and sure enough, in front of a small courtyard, a panicked Yang Gao ran out. Because he ran too fast, he tripped over a stone, rolled on the ground a few times, and then got up and ran in the direction of Yang Guang's room.

"Gao'er! What's going on, come to Aunt Yan! ”

Yuan Ziyan shouted loudly behind him, but Yang Gao ran away without looking back as if he had lost his soul, and only the sound of the child's frightened heavy breathing came from the air, and it seemed that there was a trace of choking.

Looking around, no one chased after him, let alone wild cats and dogs, but what frightened Yang Gao, who has always been quite knowledgeable about etiquette, messed up?

There is only this unusually quiet small courtyard in front of him, and Yang Gao also ran out of here, so there must be something unsightly hidden in this small courtyard.

The three of them were very curious, Li Chunfeng proposed to go in and have a look, but was blocked by Yuan Ziyan, because although he didn't know who lived here, one thing was certain, it should be someone from the palace, maybe it was still a concubine, and it was a little inconvenient for two big men to go in.

Yuan Ziyan hesitated for a moment, but walked in alone, the lights were on in the room, there was no movement, only his heartbeat could be heard, and it felt a little weird.

Soon, Yuan Ziyan came to the door of the house, and was about to ask if there was anyone, but found that the door was hidden, this situation was too strange, relying on the fact that there were two big men standing guard at the door, Yuan Ziyan had the courage to gently push with his hand, and the door creaked open.

As soon as Yuan Ziyan entered the house, he was immediately stunned by the scene in front of him, and he couldn't even speak for a while.

It turned out that this was the residence of the princess, and at this moment she was lying on her back on the ground, with a sharp knife in her chest, her eyes were wide open, her body was stiff, and it seemed that she was out of breath.

Mom, what a hell of a life, how could you die?

Yuan Ziyan withdrew from the house with a pale face, wanting to call someone to come and check, but unexpectedly, countless torches appeared outside the door, led by Xu Tingfu, a group of people rushed into the courtyard and looked at her with fierce eyes.

Yuan Ziyan's heart chuckled, he vaguely felt a little bad, and said coldly: "Father-in-law Xu, what do you mean by this?" ”

"Purple Smoke Girl, why are you here with the princess?" Xu Tingfu asked with a sneer.

Yuan Ziyan hugged his arms and said disdainfully: "It doesn't matter why I appear here, but it's you, why are so many people here, is it because you learned about some movement in advance and want to do something hurtful?" ”

Xu Tingfu didn't answer, beckoned back, and said suggestively: "Yuan Ziyan and the princess have had many disputes, so quickly enter the house to check." ”

Soon the guard came out and whispered a few words in Xu Tingfu's ear, Xu Tingfu immediately made a surprised look, and then cried loudly, and crawled into the house, crying even more fiercely.

Xu Tingfu's cry attracted more patrol guards, and the small courtyard was crowded, and soon the servants came, shaking their heads and sighing, the princess was not saved, gone.

There was another cry, and Yuan Ziyan was the only one who appeared in the courtyard, so he was easily identified as a major suspect, and immediately several guards surrounded Yuan Ziyan.

Yuan Ziyan was very emotional, and even a little chaotic, things came too suddenly, and it was not something she could deal with.

"Xu Tingfu, you old immortal, what do you want to do!" Yuan Ziyan hurriedly stepped back, shouting and refusing to be arrested.

"Let go of my senior sister!"

In the stalemate, Li Chunfeng, who rushed over when he heard the movement, rushed over, blocked Yuan Ziyan, and said angrily: "My senior sister is a beautiful girl for everyone, and she has no power to restrain the chicken, how can she kill someone, you must be mistaken!" ”

"Helpless?" Xu Tingfu asked with extreme contempt: "The people of Jinyang and all the soldiers have seen with their own eyes that Yuan Ziyan has the ability to control the clouds, and Yuan Ziyan and the princess have always been at odds, and they even threatened to kill the princess before, so in front of a lot of evidence, of course, it needs to be investigated." ”

"Gonggong Xu's words are wrong, it is not the purple smoke girl who has the ability to control the clouds, but His Majesty is the true dragon son of heaven, and he has heavenly help in times of crisis."

Another steady voice came, it was Li Shimin who came with Li Chunfeng, Yuan Ziyan's eyes burst with tears, she knew that every time she was in danger, Li Shimin would definitely come forward. And the reason why Li Shimin said this is indeed to protect her, not to be too public, and become the target of public criticism.

"It turned out to be Li Gongzi, it was the old slave who said it was wrong, and he should be beaten." Xu Tingfu smiled and symbolically slapped himself in the mouth, and said: "But it's not early, Li Gongzi still went back to rest, what happened in the courtyard is a court scandal, and Gongzi doesn't bother." ”

"My father-in-law is wrong again, I have just been appointed as a royal guard by the emperor, and the concubines in the palace died unexpectedly, of course I have the right to ask." Li Shimin snorted coldly, not afraid at all.

The corners of Xu Tingfu's mouth twitched, and he forced out a smile, and said exaggeratedly: "Oops, it turned out to be the old slave's negligence." It's just that the old slave wants to know how the son should deal with this matter? ”

"Miss Purple Smoke has a meritorious accompaniment, and has won the trust and appreciation of His Majesty, when the facts are not clear, it is not appropriate to take people away, it is better for His Majesty to interrogate him personally." Li Shimin said.

Haha, Xu Tingfu looked up to the sky and let out a burst of laughter, and said arrogantly: "Your Majesty has a lot of opportunities, how can you have the energy to deal with such a trivial matter in person, I don't think the prince still knows the rules of the palace very well." ”

"Old eunuch!" Yuan Ziyan couldn't help but take a sip, "Gongzi Li is right, I want to see Your Majesty!" Could it be that if the concubine dies, will His Majesty ignore it? ”

"How can you be the one who has the final say here?" Xu Tingfu asked with a roll of his eyes.

"That's none of your business! Look at your treacherous face, the dead master is still making a loud noise here! Yuan Ziyan gradually regained some rationality, and said disdainfully: "Everyone has seen it, the princess's bones are not cold, but Xu Tingfu is happy like a monkey, jumping up and down, and daring to laugh loudly, he is simply a beast and a scum!" ”
