Chapter 190: Imprisonment (2)

The palace people simply cleaned up the dilapidated and desolate palace and found two round stools that were still intact. Tang Bu was surprised to recognize this person, it was Xiao Nian, the internal supervisor who had been serving Situ Mu since he was a child, and he was Situ Mu's most trusted confidant. Xiao Nianzi carefully wiped the two round stools as dust-free as possible, and then said respectfully: "Your Highness, Mr. Tang, please take a seat!" ”

Situ Mu took the lead in sitting down, and Tang Bujing sat down with him. Xiao Nian made a thousand, then retreated, covered the palace gate, and stood outside to control the wind for them.

The two sat facing each other, Situ Mu looked at Tang Bu carefully for a while, and said, "Sir, compared to the last time we met, I have cleared a little less. It's too hard to think about these days of hard work. I only hate myself for being under house arrest in the East Palace, like being in prison and not being able to help my husband. ”

Tang Bu pursed his lips and smiled: "Doing things for His Highness and solving problems for His Highness is a matter within the scope of his subordinates." His Royal Highness said this, which made his subordinates a little embarrassed. I am not surprised, but I am afraid that I will do things badly, bring trouble to His Highness, and make His Highness worry and embarrassed. ”

"With a gentleman on the outside to help, I have nothing to worry about." Situ Mu said, his tone was very sincere, "With the ability of Mr., if there is anything that cannot be done, then no one in the world can do it." ”

The two talked for a while, and Tang Buxi told Situ Mu all the allies he had made everywhere over the years. Among these people, there are generals and guards, royal nobles, people from the rivers and lakes, and people in the green forest. Situ Mu listened and nodded with satisfaction from time to time. With Tang Bu's reputation all over the world, as well as his ability and courage. Basically, there are few people he goes to negotiate who are not impressed.

After talking for about half an hour, Situ Mu had a thorough understanding of the general situation. He got up and stretched, smiled and said something inconsistency to Tang Bushu: "Sir, do you say that this palace is a place of reincarnation?" What is happening here or about to happen will be strikingly similar? ”

Tang Bu frowned, not knowing what he meant by this: "Why did Your Highness say this?" ”

Situ Mu shrugged: "For example, my father and the emperor are largely like history repeating itself. At that time, his father was not the crown prince, and he was not liked by the emperor's grandfather. But he was bent on inheriting the throne. So he conspired with Situ Xi. Capture the country. Although I am the crown prince, I am not loved by my father. The throne he had won so hard was reluctant to give it to anyone, even his own son. He did not adopt my political views in the slightest. Put me under house arrest. So I also planned to force the palace to rebel. Father and Situ Xi were in order to avoid people's eyes and ears. chose a righteous village, pretended to be a ghost, and secretly raised an army. Me with sir. Then choose a 'haunted' abandoned palace in the palace and conspire to negotiate. This is really what happened when my father was young, and it happened to me again! ”

"The so-called royal family, that's probably it." Tang Bu was shocked to hear Situ Mu's words, and said with emotion, "Father and son, brother and brother, are not as close as ordinary people. In the face of interests and power, family affection and blood relationship seem so insignificant. It's not that the crown prince is repeating the emperor's mistakes, but as a descendant of the heavenly family, he was born with so many bodies that he couldn't help himself. ”

Situ Mu stroked his palms and smiled: "Sir, as expected, in fact, the so-called Son of Heaven royal family is just a victim of power in the end!" It's just that the road I have to walk now is much more difficult than that of your father. He is already more thoughtful and alert than the emperor's grandfather. Coupled with a Situ Xi, his wrist is vicious, and he is never easy to deal with. Situ Xi and I have never had a good relationship, and he will not want me to ascend to the throne. As he spoke, his face gradually became serious, and the severity of his form was really not optimistic, "Therefore, I have to fight against my father and the emperor, and I must beware of Situ Xi." Now, with Yan'er again, they have one more chess piece in their hands. Maybe one day, my father will find a random charge, remove my crown prince, and then crown Yan'er as the emperor's grandson. At that point, I was really at my point. Yan'er will become a pawn that is used to hide people's eyes and ears. And the father will continue to pursue his immortality, and when he succeeds, Yan'er doesn't know what will happen. ”

Tang Bu was surprised to hear him mention Situ Xi, and remembered that he was in Tianshui Lake three years ago, if it weren't for Situ Xi's tricks, Han Xi and Han Xiao would not have turned against each other. If it weren't for Situ Xi, he and Xi'er might have been married at this time and lived a happy and comfortable life. Why is Xi'er like this, dead and alive unknown? Unconsciously, Tang Bu clenched his fists in shock, and his eyes were filled with a layer of murderous aura.

Because the light in the full moon palace was dim, Situ Mu didn't notice Tang Bu's strange appearance. He said to himself: "Yan'er is almost three years old, and when he is a little more sensible, his father is estimated to be able to act, and there is not much time left for us." ”

Tang Bu was surprised to hear him say this, knowing that Situ Mu should already have a plan in his heart, so he asked, "What is Your Highness's plan?" ”

"Well, didn't I tell Mr. just now, this palace is simply a place of reincarnation!" Situ Mu picked up the unfinished topic again and continued, "Mr. probably knows a little about the full moon lady in the full moon palace this time, right?" ”

"Does Your Highness mean that what happened to the Full Moon Niangniang is also repeating itself in history?" Tang Bu followed his words and asked.

Situ Mu laughed, gave a thumbs up to Tang Buxi, and exclaimed: "Talking to a smart person like Mr. is to save trouble." That's right, something like a full moon lady has happened recently. Concubine Zhuang of the Feather Coat Palace, have you ever heard of it? ”

"Concubine Zhuang?" Tang Bu remembered that Hanxi had told him that he was imprisoned in a water prison. At that time, Han Xi was in the water prison and met a girl surnamed Zhuang. The girl's father has been teaching her all kinds of scheming, etiquette, calligraphy and painting, and wants to send her to the palace as a concubine. It's just that back then, after the girl entered the palace, she became a maidservant in Yun Zhaoyi's palace, and Yun Zhaoyi saw through the mind of climbing the dragon and attaching the phoenix, and entered the water prison. The girl has a deep mind and secretly deploys in the water prison, preparing to fight a battle to turn over. Later, Han Xi left the water prison through the help of Heyu, and there was no news of the girl. Perhaps, this Concubine Zhuang is the girl in the water prison back then.

So Tang Bu was surprised and asked: "This Concubine Zhuang Niangniang, was she a person in Yun Zhaoyi's palace before?" ”

Situ Mu nodded again and again: "It seems that Mr. has also heard of it, no wonder, after all, the affairs of Concubine Zhuang and Yun Zhaoyi back then were also full of ups and downs." Concubine Zhuang was originally the palace maid next to Yun Zhaoyi, but for some reason, she was beaten into a water prison by Yun Zhaoyi. There are really few people who enter the water prison and can come out alive......"

Speaking of this, Situ Mu paused, and his expression suddenly became melancholy and lonely. Tang Bu was shocked to know that he was thinking of the cold tide. Han Xi has been a female official by Situ Mu's side for a period of time, and she is very appreciated and loved by Situ Mu. Later, Han Xi faked his death in the water prison and escaped, Situ Mu didn't know the clues, and he was sad for a long time, so he completely fell out with the crown princess and Han. Three years have passed, and although Situ Mu doesn't say it, he still often thinks of that beautiful and intelligent woman in his heart. At this moment, because of Concubine Zhuang's matter, the water prison was mentioned, and the scar in Situ Mu's heart was once again revealed. (To be continued......)
