In fact, Qin Mubai's so-called "pleading guilt" was just a scene, Princess Gaoyang was not in the palace yesterday, the emperor's decree was only issued today, what can I complain about? But as a subordinate, it is a good posture and a good attitude to admit mistakes instead of doing mistakes. The eldest grandson, a pampered son, doesn't understand Qin Mubai, but he understands it profoundly.

The group waited for the Wude Hall to be guarded in the inner hall by a hundred horsemen led by Cheng Huaibi. Qin Mubai inquired a little and learned that Princess Gaoyang was indeed in the imperial study, and ...... The emperor is furious!

"Then the King of Wei is not there?" Qin Mubai asked.

"Not there." Cheng Huaibi replied in a low voice: "Fang Xuanling is here. Princess Gaoyang entered the palace with Fang Xuanling. ”

"What? ......" Qin Mubai's heart tightened: Could it be that Li Tai directly betrayed Princess Gaoyang to Fang Xuanling? …… How is this all going on?

For a while, Qin Mubai fell into deep thought. Put himself in his shoes, thinking of himself as Li Tai, analyzing why "himself" did this.

Princess Gaoyang came to Li Tai for help, and Li Tai couldn't help as an elder brother; But he is friends with Fang Yiai, and this matter is very important, which is likely to cause fire and affect the future of the heir. So Li Tai didn't want to help Princess Gaoyang do this kind of thing at all. But in this way, he offended Princess Gaoyang and had a bad reputation among the royal family.

So what to do?

Naturally, he would not bring Fang Xuanling to tell Princess Gao Yang that Fang Xuanling knew the righteousness and old way, and he was close to Fang Xuanling, and he was willing to take Princess Gao Yang to meet Fang Xuanling to explain the reason why he was unwilling to marry into the Fang family. Princess Gao Yang was naturally unhappy, but she didn't have a choice, so she had to believe in Li Tai for the time being, her brother. So the two of them went to the house together to talk about things, Fang Xuanling was naturally not good, and he could only agree to the face of a princess and a popular prince. Then Li Tai went back to the palace and told the emperor about the incident as it really was—in the name of an eldest brother helping his sister do something. Make a momentum that you want to be pleasing on the surface.

As a result, Emperor Long Yan was furious and would definitely scold Li Tai, but that anger would probably only go to Princess Gaoyang. Because he knew that Princess Gaoyang must have been pressed by Li Tai step by step, Li Tai had no choice but to help her. In this way, Li Tai will not bear any consequences, and he will also leave the filial piety name of "loving his sister" in Li Shimin's mind.

After the Xuanwumen Incident, what Li Shimin valued most was whether his children got along well with each other and whether they were filial. Li Tai will certainly be scolded, but that is more useful than being praised!

……

Thinking about this, Qin Mubai couldn't help but tremble in his heart: If this is the case, then Princess Gaoyang will be too tragic, she is simply being used as cannon fodder by Li Tai...... I don't want to go in and see so much.

Qin Mubai walked outside the imperial study and heard that Li Shimin was scolding Princess Gaoyang inside, saying that she was disobedient and unfilial, wanton and frivolous, and had no dignity at all.

Princess Gaoyang was crying very fiercely, repeatedly emphasizing that she "would rather die than marry Fang and leave her love", "Everyone and the Fang family have made it clear that they will not marry me, father, you still insist on stuffing me over, you obviously don't want me!" ”

Fang Xuanling was caught in the middle and persuaded the father and daughter.

Li Shimin's anger became louder and louder, and the roar was like thunder, and Princess Gaoyang gradually only cried, and Fang Xuanling didn't speak.

Qin Mubai's heart tightened: Don't go in to ask for fun......

So after waiting outside for a long time, there was no more Li Shimin's roar inside, and then he said lightly: "Gao Yang, I love you deeply, I hope you can understand." You did go a little too far this time, go back and reflect on yourself. The children of ordinary people still know that marriage is 'the order of parents, the words of the matchmaker', and you, as a princess, must have a mind and consciousness, take your own responsibilities, and accept your own destiny. Okay, you go back to the harem to rest first, and your father will come to the Xianju Hall to see you in person later. ”

"Erchen retires......" Princess Gaoyang didn't know why she didn't cry, so she answered and walked out of the room.

Pushing open the door, Princess Gao Yang glanced at Qin Mubai. For a while, Qin Mubai was shocked by her expression and eyes.

If it weren't for the extreme sadness and disappointment, people wouldn't have such expressions and eyes!

At this moment, Princess Gaoyang has lost her usual flying spirit and youthful beauty, her face is pale, her spirit is depressed, her eyes are blank, and she is weak, just like a walking corpse, shaking and walking out.

"Thief Military Academy, stinky man......" Princess Gaoyang Bu saw Qin Mubai at a glance, she couldn't hold back her emotions anymore, and suddenly burst into tears and rushed towards him.

Qin Mubai was taken aback: "What are you doing?!" ”

The door of the imperial study was open, Li Shimin and Fang Xuanling were both inside, everything could be heard, and they could see everything with a slight tilt of their heads! And there were so many hundred cavalry sergeants present!

This girl is crazy!

Princess Gaoyang didn't care about it at all, she really threw herself into Qin Mubai's arms like she was crazy, and her cheeks slammed his breastplate, and she hugged him to death and cried unscrupulously!

It's over!

For a while, Qin Mubai had a feeling that a catastrophe was coming!

Never felt like this!

Ying Ming I was so caught off guard by the little devil like this, it was like being suddenly kicked into the abyss and falling sharply!

……

"You're still stunned and still don't pull the princess away?" Qin Mubai was anxious and shouted: "Her Royal Highness the princess is overly sad and emotionally out of control, send her back to the apse to rest!" ”

"No!" Several stunned sergeants shouted as if they had been empowered and stepped forward to pull Princess Gaoyang.

"Don't pull you guys out of the way!" Princess Gao Yang seemed to let out a sigh and shouted hysterically: "Father, the Imperial Family, Xuanling, you can all hear it - I will say it again now, the person I want to marry is Qin Mubai, otherwise I would rather die, I would rather be alone for a lifetime, and never marry into the Fang family!" ”

Rumble!!!

This bang sounded in Qin Mubai's mind!

What a complete death this is!

Lowering his head, Qin Mubai looked at Princess Gaoyang in a daze and muttered, "Are you going to die and drag your back?" ”

Princess Gaoyang's beautiful eyes were already red, and her face was even more confused with tears, no matter how you look at it, she is also a little resentful woman who is full of sadness, disappointment, and is bored, and even can't live.

But when she raised her head slightly and met Qin Mubai's eyes, she suddenly showed a strange and demonic smile, grinned, showed her little tiger teeth and dimples, and said softly: "Why don't you want to?" ”

What else can Qin Mubai say?

Yelling - "Invite the princess to the apse to rest!" ”

……

Princess Gaoyang was dragged away by several hundred cavalry sergeants.

In the imperial study, Li Shimin and Fang Xuanling have been quietly watching the whole process, and no one has said half a word, and even their expressions have not changed.

Qin Mubai was stunned outside the room for a moment, took a deep breath, forcibly sorted out his chaotic thoughts, pulled the stunned eldest grandson, and walked into the imperial study together.

"Weichen Qin Mubai knocked to see His Majesty the Emperor...... I've seen Fang Xianggong. Qin Mubai followed behind him to give a salute.

"Hmm...... Is there something going on with the two of you? Li Shimin asked calmly as if nothing had happened.

"Weichen and others have come to ask for guilt."

"Are you guilty?"

Qin Mubai reported to the emperor that he was not effective in taking care of Princess Gaoyang.

Li Shimin smiled faintly after hearing this: "I don't complain about this matter, and Gao Yang left the palace yesterday." This matter is over, Fang Xuanling, the eldest grandson, you all retreat first. ”

"Wechen retired." Fang Xuanling and Eldest Sun Jian answered, and when they left, they both looked at Qin Mubai deeply and quietly retreated.

Li Shimin waved his hand, and all the palace maids and maids also withdrew. It was ordered that no one should be within thirty steps of the imperial study.

Qin Mubai had been standing quietly in front of the desk, feeling that the atmosphere in this room seemed to be stagnant, and there was a faint sense of mountain rain coming in the air, and the wind was all over the building.

Li Shimin was also silent for a long time, as if he was taking care of his mood and thoughts. Finally, he spoke: "Mu Bai, what is the matter between you and Gao Yang?" ”

"Your Majesty, Mingjian, Weichen and Princess Gaoyang are innocent, and there is no other. The princess just did that...... It's nothing more than trying to use Wechen to make the final struggle. Qin Mubai calmly bowed his hand and said.

"I understand. She is my daughter, and I know her well. Although such a little trick is shocking, it can only blind some people who don't understand it. Li Shimin's tone was very flat, just like when he usually chatted with Qin Mubai, and said lightly, "But she said again and again that she would rather marry Qin Mubai than marry Fang and leave her love...... Why you? Why not Changsun Lian, not Cheng Huaibi or Yu Chi Baoyun? ”

"This ......," Qin Mubai smiled bitterly, "Your Majesty, this question is really not known how to answer." In fact, Weichen and Her Royal Highness Princess Gaoyang have only known each other for less than a month, and the conflict in the imperial study began last time. His Majesty also knew anything that happened during this period. Weichen was just ordered by His Majesty to teach her to play the pipa. Then last time, I was ordered by the princess to escort her to King Wu's mansion, and then went to the demon girl to play together. Nothing else. ”

"But now the matter has been solved. My beloved daughter, the dignified princess of the Tang Dynasty, openly refused to marry, and rejected the marriage of my most powerful courtier, the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty. The reason for this refusal is - she is in love with you, unless you don't marry, she would rather die. Li Shimin frowned: "Tell me what you think, how should this matter end?" ”
