"I don't know." Xilingyue shook her head slightly, "I really don't know, we just ...... They understand each other very well. ”

"Know each other well?" Xiao Yi was completely enraged by this sentence, and suddenly raised his hand to touch a wall panel, and quickly pressed it.

In an instant, the stone door that separated Xilingyue and Li Chengxuan became a little strange, and it seemed to shake a few times. Eight lines of large characters immediately protruded on the wall next to it, like some kind of mechanism, which was very weird.

Xiao Yi pointed to the wall and sneered, "You don't know each other very well? Yue'er, on this wall is Wang Zi'an's "Tengwang Pavilion Poems", as long as you press the same word with him, the stone door behind you will automatically open. But if you press the wrong button, Li Chengxuan will be pierced through the heart by ten thousand arrows, do you dare to try? ”

Xilingyue was shocked in her heart, and shook her head again and again, "No, I don't try, never!" ”

"I can't help you." Xiao Yi stroked the stone wall, like stroking his lover, and his fingers lingered on it gently, "If you don't want to, I will activate the mechanism immediately, Li Chengxuan still has no way to live." ”

"Xiao Yi!" Xilingyue was so angry when she heard this, that she was so angry that she called him by his name.

"That's the price he paid for taking you!" Xiao Yi's face was ruthless, and the dim candle flame shone on the green tendons on his forehead, "Fifty-six words, I count to ten, you must choose one!" ”

At the same time, Li Chengxuan outside the door was also talking secretly with Xiao Zhiwu.

I haven't seen him for half a year, Xiao Zhiwu is like a different person. When he went to Beijing last year, he was a kind and kind father, but now he is a scheming conspirator.

"Lord Wang, the old man has finally waited for you." He hung the lantern on the stone wall next to him, smiling sincerely.

"Thank you for your hospitality." Li Chengxuan put his hands behind his back and did not lose the battle.

Xiao Zhiwu's eyes showed a hint of appreciation, "Yes, no wonder Yue'er likes the prince, your demeanor is indeed one in a million, in terms of calmness, dogs are not as good." ”

"Mr. Xiao is humble, your children have taught very well." Li Chengxuan said sincerely, "In all fairness, I want to thank Mr. for sending Xiling to Zhenhai and facilitating our meeting. ”

"The prince is polite." Xiao Zhiwu saw that the other party's breath was calm and there was no trace of panic, so he couldn't help but raise his vigilance a little.

Li Chengxuan pretended to look around, and said casually, "This is the secret of Prince Anshili, the restoration stronghold set up by Empress Wu?" ”

"Not bad." Xiao Zhiwu frankly admitted, "When Wang Zi'an went to Jiaozhi County to visit his father, he accidentally discovered this secret when he passed by Nanpu, and heard that Empress Zetian was going to plot against several feudal towns. He was so shocked that he wanted to report the incident, but he didn't dare to trust others easily, and there was no way to ask for help. ”

So, when he was invited to the banquet of King Teng's Pavilion, he wrote a "Preface to King Teng's Pavilion" and hid this secret in it. He asked Yan Fang, the host of the banquet, to give this text to his friend Luo Bingwang, and asked Luo Bingwang to sing and harmonize according to the rhythm of "King Qin's Breaking Array Music". ”

"Singing and harmonizing according to "King Qin's Breaking Array Music" can unlock this secret?" Li Chengxuan was suspicious. He has been in the royal family for many years, and he knows a little about music, so he really can't think of anything to do with the two.

Xiao Zhiwu also patiently explained, "Wang Zi'an and Luo Bin Wang are both good at five-string pipa, and the few words he hid in the "Preface to King Teng's Pavilion" are the only ones who use the fifth string in the broken array music. This should be some kind of agreement between him and King Luo Bing. ”

Li Chengxuan suddenly realized: "This trick is very clever. ”

"Clever?" Xiao Zhiwu sneered, "It's a pity that he ignored one thing - Yan Fang has to invite scribes to banquets in the Tengwang Pavilion in the repair area, which shows that he is a person who likes the music of wine banquets." The prince was careless. ”

Li Chengxuan was silent. Indeed, Wang Bo was careless.

Because Yan Fang appreciated the "Preface to the Pavilion of King Teng" too much, he did not give it to King Luo Bin in time, but framed it and hung it in the mansion, and ordered someone to play the piano and sing according to the rhythm of "King Qin's Breaking Array Music". This led to the leakage of the secret, which was denounced by Empress Zetian. Xiao Zhiwu laughed as he spoke, "Providence is like this, it is to achieve the great cause of Wu Zhou." ”

"It's a pity, it's a pity." Li Chengxuan shook his head and sighed lightly, and asked, "What about the cause of Wang Zi'an's death?" It was also done by the Empress Wu? ”

"No, before the Empress of Heaven could do anything, he died in the South China Sea on the way back, which was an accident." Xiao Zhiwu smiled again, "It's really providential. ”

Providence indeed. After all, Empress Wu really came to that point and opened up the Wu Zhou Dynasty to become the empress. If Wang Bo had been able to reach the heavens in time, would the outcome of history have changed?

No, it won't. In terms of Gaozong's favor to Empress Wu at that time, he would probably only laugh it off and not believe it at all. This is providence. No matter what the internal situation was back then, it couldn't rewrite the ending of the history books.

Li Chengxuan was very emotional, he didn't forget to calculate the current time, and was about to find another topic to delay, but he saw that Xiao Zhiwu had slowly walked to the stone wall, and he didn't know what mechanism he had encountered in the dark.

In an instant, twenty small holes suddenly appeared in the surrounding walls, and a copper palace lamp stretched out from each small hole, which was lit without being lit.

Only then did Li Chengxuan discover that there were portraits of Gongbi characters hanging on the four stone walls, and the three walls of the north, south, and east were all portraits of men, and only the west wall was hung with a woman. Each of the four portraits has a name and year of birth written under it, and all four of them have the surname "Wu" without exception.

"This is the portrait of His Royal Highness Kangxing in the past dynasties?" Li Chengxuan took the initiative to ask.

"Not bad." Xiao Zhiwu slowly walked to the west wall, pointed to the only portrait of a woman, and said, "My Xiao family has been loyal to Emperor Zetian for generations, and I have been ordered to guard Her Royal Highness Kangxing, and I am the fourth generation so far. ”

Li Chengxuan followed his gesture and looked, there was no doubt that the only portrait of the woman was painted by Xilingyue. The painter painted very vividly, her smart eyes and flower-like smile all jumped on the page, but her face was still immature, and she looked at most sixteen or seventeen years old.

And under her portrait, there is a name Wu Jiyue in block letters, and her birthday is not the seventh day of the seventh month of the fifth year of Zhenyuan, but the first day of August of that year.

Li Chengxuan silently wrote it down and read it again, "Jiyue? Is there a saying? ”

"Princess Taiping's maiden name is 'Ling Yue', and Her Royal Highness is her only female heir, so she is named 'Jiyue'."

"I see." Li Chengxuan was very interested in everything about Xiling Yue, and asked, "What is the origin of the name 'Xiling Yue'?" ”

"I'm not afraid of the prince's jokes, just because the portrait of His Royal Highness is going to be hung on the west wall, and here is in the Taiping Mountain, so the old man took the words 'west' and 'ling' at will."

"It's ingenious." Li Chengxuan smiled back casually.

Xiao Zhiwu was very proud, "The old man knows that the eyes of the prince are higher than the top, and ordinary ladies can't get into the eyes at all." Your Royal Highness is also raised by old decay, she can get your blue eyes, old decay and honor. ”

Li Chengxuan smiled silently and waited for the following.

Sure enough, Xiao Zhiwu finally got to the point: "The prince is the heir of Emperor Li Tang, and the queen mother is the heir, if you talk about your background, your Royal Highness and the prince are the right match." ”

"I'm just a wanted criminal." Li Chengxuan remained silent, "Besides, I don't value the family. ”

Xiao Zhiwu was refuted by him once, and he was not angry, but only asked, "Didn't the prince think about marrying His Royal Highness in the open?" ”

Li Chengxuan couldn't help but sneer, "Oh? She is the empress, and I am the emperor? ”

"As long as the prince is willing." Xiao Zhiwu really had this intention, "The eyes of the world are shallow, thinking that women can only condescend to the harem." At that time, the Empress of Heaven created a new situation, which can be called a glorious masterpiece in the history books, but it is a pity that the world is ignorant, and she has to return to power Li Tang. But the old man knows that you are by no means a shallow person, and this emperor's position is like an uncrowned emperor, and the prince has done it. ”
