90. Trust and betrayal
Mu Yige and Huo Yao were imprisoned in the prison of Yin, the capital mansion. can only be locked up here, the two of them are not qualified to enter the prison. An Xiaoxiao's grandfather Wang Zhiyuan was naturally alarmed.
After listening to the report of the Praetorian Guard, he could only sigh secretly, and only quietly ordered the two to be locked in two rooms in good conditions.
Luckily, the two rooms were connected until everyone left. An Xiaoxiao asked quietly, "What happened?" ”
Mu Yige leaned over and whispered a few words in her ear through the iron railing.
It turned out that it was Baili Renault who saved them.
Before the Praetorian Guards surrounded the courtyard, Baili Renault had already received the news and sent Di Yong to help. Di Yong took the two sisters out of the secret passage and got into the carriage that had been arranged a long time ago. Moreover, in order to cover up the traces, Baili Renault arranged several carriages over there, running in different directions, and it was difficult to track them down.
"How does he know that you Beppu Secret Dao?"
"The prince found his father, and it was his father who told him!"
Why did Mu Chengxiu help them? Is it for Mu Yige? An Xiaoxiao couldn't figure it out, but this wasn't the point at hand.
"Is Di Yong going to send their sisters out of the city?"
"No, going out of the city at this time will definitely be investigated, it's not safe. It seemed that the prince was planning to move them to another part of the city. ”
An Xiaoxiao was relieved when she heard that Baili Renault had thought it through. Thinking of that handsome and noble face, my heart once again burst with warmth. She used to be so sorry for Baili Renault, always thinking about using him, calling him brother and calling him brother, but she never really thought of him as a friend. Not in the future, the next time she sees him, she must be a good friend with him.
"By the way, thank you today! If it weren't for your procrastination, they wouldn't have walked away so easily. An Xiaoxiao said with a smile.
"What's the politeness with me?" Mu Yige also relaxed, leaning against the railing.
The two men were back to back, and the prison was silent for a moment.
An Xiaoxiao asked crisply: "I didn't have time to ask before, are you all right?" ”
Mu Yige shook his head and said blankly: "I don't know what to do." There is still a cloth in my head, covering my memories from my childhood. I don't remember a lot of things clearly. It's just that I can finally understand that I'm not a five-year-old anymore. ”
"Really? What a pity! ”
"It's a pity?"
"Yes! How good it is to be a child, carefree. ”
Mu Yige turned his head and poked An Xiaoxiao on the back of the head: "Little flower cat, you are a child." The most carefree thing is you! ”
She is no longer a child at heart! An Xiaoxiao also turned her head, bent her eyes with a smile, and said to him: "Even if your head has grown, don't forget the feeling of being a child." I still prefer my silly big friend! ”
Mu Yige also smiled, but he was no longer the stupid appearance he used to be: "You too, you still look good with a smile!" ”
……
Mu Yige and An Xiaoxiao were detained for three days. During this period, the An couple came to see them once, and Mu Chengxiu also came once. didn't bring much useful information, only that Ao Xue and Xia Qing had not yet been found. As if he had gone crazy, he searched for people everywhere in the city, causing dissatisfaction among the residents of Beijing. It seems that the emperor sent a letter to the kingdom of Jiyi. They wrote back to Dayangcuo, urging him to return to China as soon as possible.
Dayang Tso also knew that he had been acting too flamboyantly lately. It's just that if he doesn't see Aoxue, he is really unwilling.
On the third day, it was Baili Renault who came to release the two of them.
An Xiaoxiao was a little surprised when she saw him. At this time, he should try his best to put aside their relationship.
Mu Yige got into the carriage of the Hou Mansion, and before leaving, he took a deep look at An Xiaoxiao and gave her a fist of "come on".
An Xiaoxiao smiled and got into her own carriage. was about to call away, but who knew that Renault actually opened the curtain and got in.
An Xiaoxiao was shocked by him: "Your Highness, what are you doing here?" ”
"This king has something to say to you."
He said he had something to say, but after ten minutes of carriage travel, he still kept his face calm and didn't say a word. An Xiaoxiao had no choice but to speak first: "Your Highness, thank you so much that night!" Actually, according to our agreement, you didn't have to save people. However, you still made a move......"
Her smiling eyes were bent like two small moons, and they were also shining in the poorly lit carriage: "You don't know the way, I have never felt helpless like that night." At that time, it was really desperate......" She recalled the situation that night, and she could still feel cold, but she laughed again, still innocent: "Fortunately, you made a move." Really, fortunately! ”
Baili Renault stared at this smile, and finally asked: "The identities of Ao Xue and Xia Qing, why don't you tell this king?" ”
The smile faded from her face inch by inch, and she asked suspiciously, "How do you know the truth?" ”
Baili Renault also inadvertently knew about it. In other words, he sent Di Yong to take the Aoxue sisters to another secret property in Beijing to settle in. That day, when he saw Ao Xue packing up his things, he actually took out Ruan Shuping's urn from his baggage. He watched An Xiaoxiao put the jar with his own eyes, how could he not know it?
After some questioning, the sisters finally revealed their backgrounds.
An Xiaoxiao was stared at by him tightly, and her body unconsciously broke out in a cold sweat. She had never felt afraid of him before, but now she was scared to death.
"What is the importance of who they were before? The important thing is that their current identity is my An Xiaoxiao's sister. ”
"Still holding on? An Xiaoxiao, do you know how much trouble you have caused yourself? ”
An Xiaoxiao clenched her teeth: "Your Highness, if you announce their backgrounds now, then they will only have a dead end." ”
Baili Renault glanced at her as if he hated her, and said coldly: "You are concerned about it." What does this king do when he announces their backgrounds? ”
An Xiaoxiao shook her head to calm herself down. There's been so much going on lately that she's really upset. Baili Renault wants to investigate the case ten years ago and find out the foreign spies in the court. It is indeed not beneficial for him to announce the background of Aoxue and them, and he may be startled. So, what did he mean by that?
Baili Renault noticed An Xiaoxiao's doubts, so he explained: "Do you know that Lu Dao, now in the court, how many pairs of eyes are staring at their sisters?" At that time, Ruan Shuping's whole family was beheaded, but they did not find a pair of twin daughters. This is also recorded in the dossier. What would you do if you were the main messenger and suddenly you had twins of the right age in your sight? ”
An Xiaoxiao's face turned pale: "He will definitely secretly track down their backgrounds......"
If you have the heart to check, it won't be difficult. She bought the Aoxue sisters from the old bustard in the brothel in Pinghu City. This matter is known to many people in Pinghu City. Follow this line to investigate, and you will definitely be able to find out after the worst, right?
Thinking of this, An Xiaoxiao hurriedly grabbed Baili Renault's sleeve: "Your Highness, only you can help us!" Send their sisters away as soon as possible! ”
At this time, the car had arrived outside the gate of Anfu and stopped.
Her fingers clutched his sleeve tightly, fine beads of sweat were already on her face, and Baili Reno was covered with the incense she had paid to the royal family, called "Don't forget your peace of mind", which had the effect of lifting your breath and concentrating your mind. However, there was a lot of fragrance coming from the tip of her nose, but she couldn't lift her breath at all, she only felt that her heart was getting more and more chaotic, and the only thing that could help her calm down was the powerful young man in front of her.
Baili Renault watched her grasp her fingers, the jade-like little hand seemed to have a kind of magic, almost, almost, he couldn't help but soft-hearted and agreed. But......
He shook her hand: "This king has already sent them back to Anfu!" ”
"You, what did you say?"
Her voice was weak, and there was a smile on her face, as if she wanted to take his words as a joke.
Baili Renault held back the distress in his heart, and tore her hand off his sleeve, but he didn't let go, still holding it in his palm. Her hands were cold, and when she held them, a steady stream of cold air spread from her hands to his. But he didn't want to let go, and if he held it longer, he might be able to warm her.
"That's the best way to treat them. No matter where the king sends them, they will not escape the fate of being hunted down. But if Ao Xue can marry Dayangcuo, this king can ask his father to give Xia Qing a title. At that time, both sisters will be protected. ”
An Xiaoxiao bit her lip tightly, and after a while, she spoke again, her voice a little cold: "Your Highness, you said last time that there were a few suspects, tell me, who are they?" ”
"Knowing too much is not good for you!"
"No, I have to know. What kind of powerful character is it that you can't start? ”
Baili Renault's eyes showed complicated waves, but An Xiaoxiao's eyes were burning and he refused to take his eyes off for a moment. He finally sighed and said the names of the two people: "Mu Chengxiu and Jian Hugong." ”
"They ——?" An Xiaoxiao muttered. Now the two most powerful figures in the court, no wonder, Baili Renault needs evidence.
"Why do you suspect the two of them?"
"The traitor Xiao Chong in the grain transportation team, he was once Mu Chengxiu's subordinate, Mu Chengxiu promoted him many times, promoted him from an ordinary soldier to the position of Zuo Du Lieutenant, he is the most likely person to manipulate Xiao Chong. As for Jian Hugong, he had tried his best to prevent Emperor Shi Jin from raising grain and grass ten years ago, and he was the biggest beneficiary after the fall of the Mu family. The king also found out that ten years ago, a nephew of Jian Hugong had purchased a batch of valuable porcelain, and these porcelains appeared in Xiao Chong's house......"
It sounded much more suspicious than Jian Hugong.
After An Xiaoxiao got the information that she wanted to know the Dao, she shook off Baili Renault's hand and sneered: "No wonder, you want to send them back." ”
As soon as the palm of the hand was empty, the coldness decreased, and the heart seemed to be empty. Baili Renault withdrew his hand into his sleeve and sighed, "I hope you can understand the painstaking efforts of this king!" ”
"Of course I do!" An Xiaoxiao continued to smile: "When playing chess, the most important thing is to know the opponent's thinking and predict in advance what his next move will be. I have seen His Highness play chess so many times, and I also know more about His Highness! You ......" she restrained her smile and pointed to Baili Renault word by word, "You will definitely not waste the important chess pieces in front of you." ”
Baili Renault looked at her, did not speak, and his eyes returned to a calm appearance.
An Xiaoxiao's face was still pale, but a scorching flame was released from her eyes: "What do you say for their good, it's actually all for yourself, right?" Bringing them back and putting them in the eyes of everyone is undoubtedly throwing two huge baites. If the enemy can't help but make a move, you just happen to follow the vine and grasp the evidence to catch the big tiger, right? ”
"If you think so, that's right."
Baili Renault's tone was even lighter. Admittedly, he also had such thoughts. It's just that he always thinks that it's best for everyone to do it himself. Although she is angry now, she will always be able to figure it out.
"So, what about your promise to me?" An Xiaoxiao continued to ask: "Doesn't it count?" ”
"The king's promise should be used in a way that is more beneficial to you. What's more, sending them back is also their own request. ”
An Xiaoxiao felt that she was about to run out of strength, and all the energy of her body was used to resist the tears that were about to fall. She didn't allow herself to cry in front of him, especially when she finally decided to believe in him and really wanted to accept him.
For a moment, she felt like she was back in her previous life. Every time she opens up to a new home, she always ends up being abandoned. It's the same this time.
She never wanted to trust him again!
