Chapter 64
On the day of the appointment with Xiao Wan, Xiao Mingyue said that she would go to Jiming Temple to pray for her aunt, and Xiao Wen was not easy to obstruct, so he ordered the soldiers to follow Xiao Mingyue.
So, Xiao Mingyue took Amber and Yunzhu and brought some snacks from the palace to Jiming Temple in order to give alms to the poor.
Along the way, she came to Jiming Temple, and after offering incense and giving snacks, Xiao Mingyue came to the room in the backyard, ready to copy the Buddhist scriptures, and sent away the guards and servants who came with her.
Stay in the house with only the cloud beads and amber.
After a while, in order to go out so that no one would find out, Xiao Mingyue changed into the maid's clothes with the help of Yunzhu and Amber, because she was going to stay in the temple for the night, Xiao Mingyue was ready to sneak out quietly.
Xiao Mingyue immediately changed her clothes, and said to Yunzhu: "Yunzhu, you have to stay here." "
Yunzhu has always been loyal to Concubine Hu and Xiao Mingyue, so she replied: "Don't worry, the county lord can rest assured, the slave and maid will stay when the county lord comes back, the county lord should leave quickly!"
After speaking, in the name of Xiao Mingyue's need for fragrant soup bathing, he went out and opened the guards at the door.
Xiao Mingyue and Amber quietly slipped away from the backyard of Jiming Temple, where there were few people, and no one found out from there.
The two people dressed as ordinary women, out of the Jiming Temple, rushed to the agreed suburban woods.
In less than half a pillar of incense, he rushed to the woods and saw Xiao Wan and a few personal little eunuchs waiting here.
Seeing Xiao Mingyue rushing over, he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Sister Yue, Brother Chen has been waiting inside for a long time. "
Xiao Mingyue bowed to Xiao Wan and said, "Thank you princess today." "
Xiao Wan hurriedly said, "Sister, don't be so polite, go in." "
After speaking, he pushed Xiao Mingyue to walk into the woods, and motioned to Amber, and Amber stayed where she was with Xiao Huan.
Xiao Mingyue walked to the depths of the woods, only to see the fiery red maple leaves on both sides, full of wild fruits on the trees, it was really a beautiful autumn scene, she was walking, and suddenly she was blindfolded from behind, but these hands gave her enough warm feeling, a kind of joy to meet again after a long absence, she knew it was him.
"Brother Chen?!" Xiao Mingyue said in surprise.
Chen Xian put down his hand and smiled at Xiao Mingyue: "Mingyue." How do you know it's me? "
Xiao Mingyue turned her head to look at Chen Xian in front of her and said with a smile: "The princess's tone is not very strict. "
When Chen Xian heard this, he also smiled back: "I was negligent, I wanted to give you a surprise." "
Xiao Mingyue said: "It's okay, I like this surprise very much. "
After speaking, he lowered his head and said with some shyness: "I thought you would ignore me when you came back." "
Chen Xian held Xiao Mingyue's hand and said with a sincere gaze: "Don't worry." I swore that I would protect you and that no one would ever think of beating you again. "
"But I'm fine now, and I don't want anything to happen to you." Xiao Mingyue said.
Chen Xian looked at Xiao Mingyue and breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "Things have come to this point now, and they no longer have nothing to do with me, even if I can not avenge His Highness, he Xiao Wen will definitely not let go of the concubine, let alone let His Highness go." Right now, he is just pretending to be merciful in order to block the mouths of the people, and one day he has a solid foundation, and he will definitely kill him, have you forgotten, how did the third prince die?!"
Xiao Mingyue listened, empathized, and said: "I haven't forgotten that he killed his imperial brother with his own hands. "
"It's a pity that His Royal Highness was too merciful, and he didn't cut the grass and eradicate him at that time, and now he is a villain." Chen Xian clenched his fists and said.
"But I don't want you to get involved in it." Xiao Mingyue said worriedly.
"By now, I've been involved. Besides, how could he Xiao Wen be willing to let me go, he was willing to leave me in Jiankang and stay by his side, this is my best opportunity. The most unbearable thing for me is that he actually wants to beat you, and I want to cut him with a thousand knives. Chen Xian said angrily.
"It's too dangerous! Anyway, I don't want anything wrong with you. Xiao Mingyue looked at Chen Xian affectionately and said.
Chen Xian smiled lightly and said, "Mingyue, do you know? Originally, you were the biggest motivation for my efforts, I think I worked hard to make contributions, and I could protect you for the rest of my life. "
After speaking, he looked at the sky and continued: "But what can 'one person under ten thousand people', defeat everyone, and finally can't escape the oppression of that one person, but if I can become the master of this world, no one will dare to snatch what belongs to me." "
Xiao Mingyue was a little shocked when she heard Chen Xian's words, but it seemed to be expected, she knew that his eldest brother Chen was not a thing in the pool.
After thinking about it, he said: "At the moment, no matter what decision you make, I will support you, if you want to get rid of Xiao Wen, I will do my best to support you, but I don't want you to be in the slightest danger." "
Chen Xian took Xiao Mingyue in his arms and said: "You can rest assured, I want to fight for His Royal Highness, for the concubine, for you, and for myself, I have no regrets if I become the king or lose!"
Xiao Mingyue leaned on Chen Xian's chest and said, "You'll be fine, I believe in you." "
Chen Xian looked at Xiao Mingyue and said: "The 5,000 elite soldiers I brought to suppress the bandits have all surrendered to me, and they are the first batch of supporters of my rebellion against Xiao Wen, I will let Xiao Wen trust me as soon as possible, get the most military power, and take it down in one fell swoop when the time comes." "
Xiao Mingyue listened and said: "Xiao Wen is suspicious by nature, although he is entrusted with you on the surface, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not secretly investigate your every move. We are here today to meet at a risk, and I am worried that the news will leak out, and I hope you will not take it lightly and be more vigilant. "
Chen Xian said: "Don't worry, Princess Wan is already our person, and I have checked before I came out, whether it is Xiao Wen or Xue Tao, there is no follower." "
Xiao Mingyue listened, nodded and said, "That's good." Now that Xiao Wen and Xue Tao have become estranged, Xiao Wen has already moved the idea of eradicating Xue Tao, we might as well stir it up again, let's sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight!"
Chen Xian listened, and also nodded in admiration: "Good idea." Xue Tao's old fox has been secretly colluding with the forces of various countries, corrupting the law, conniving at all kinds of evil deeds among his subordinates, and pretending to be a virtuous minister on the surface. Before, Emperor Wu thought that he was the founding father, and opened one eye to him and closed one eye, and His Royal Highness thought that he was an old minister in the court and his own teacher, and he couldn't bear to attack him, but now Xiao Wending will not let him go easily, and if we add fuel to the fire, we can kill two birds with one stone. "
Xiao Mingyue thought that Xue Tao would definitely have many of Xiao Wen's handles in his hands, and these handles were also excellent weapons for tripping Xiao Wen, thinking that if Chen Xian could cater to both ends and gain the trust of both parties, it would definitely be twice the result with half the effort.
said to Chen Xian: "Don't take a stand completely now, on the surface, neither Xiao Wen nor Xue Tao can offend in the slightest, but do everything possible to gain their trust, and when the time comes, kill two birds with one stone, and seize the opportunity to attack." "
Chen Xian saw that Xiao Mingyue was thinking about himself like this, and he was also worried about Xiao Mingyue's situation, so he said to Xiao Mingyue: "I don't want you to worry about me anymore, I just want you to be happy and carefree every day." Now that you've worked hard enough to take care of the concubine all day, I really don't want you to be distracted by me anymore. Xiao Wen was interested in you before, and then all countries came to propose, and at that time, I secretly swore that I must accumulate strength and have the ability to protect your life in the future. No one will try to snatch you from me. "
Xiao Mingyue listened and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I will take care of myself." I'm just doing my best to share some of it for you, after all, you're alone, and now you're walking on thin ice, so I can rest assured? If something happens to you, how can I rest assured? "
"Rest assured, if I succeed, I will marry you in style, and you will be my only love, and you will be the most noble woman; But if I fail, don't be sad for me, you have to find someone who can really give you happiness!"
Chen Xian said affectionately.
Xiao Mingyue looked at Chen Xian's handsome face with a very determined expression, and said, "No matter what, I will wait for you, waiting for you to give me happiness." "
After saying that, the two hugged each other tightly.
After sitting in the woods for a while, taking a walk, Xiao Mingyue had to rush back to Jiming Temple before dark, so as not to be discovered, so she and Chen Xian parted here.
He and Amber hired a carriage and hurried back to Jiming Temple.
Chen Xian looked at Xiao Mingyue's departing back, feeling uncomfortable in every way, thinking that he was going to saddle up for a villain like Xiao Wen immediately, seeing Xiao Zhong in exile and Concubine Hu imprisoned in the palace. The saddest thing is that he and Xiao Mingyue are in love with each other but can't be together, which aggravates his resentment towards Xiao Wen and Xue Tao.
Thinking that since Xiao Zhong has no intention of fighting for the throne, he is now a general, and now everyone in the world knows that Xiao Wen is plotting power and usurping the throne, killing his brother first, and forcing his brother to abdicate.
All forces are eyeing Xiao Wen's regime, and in this troubled era, the change of dynasty is extremely normal, why can't he be the forerunner.
So, leaving the woods and returning to the General's Mansion, he began to plan how to deal with Xiao Wen with Xue Tao's hands, and how to obtain the evidence of Xiao Wen's evil deeds over the years in Xue Tao's hands.
Xiao Mingyue and Amber quietly returned to Jiming Temple, but fortunately, nothing was discovered.
Xiao Mingyue was lying in the bathtub and thinking, now everyone's situation is walking on thin ice, and whether the glory and wealth or the whole door are all just looking at Xiao Wen's mood.
Thinking of his parents, brother, cousin, Sister Gao's family, himself and Brother Chen, although Xiao Wen has not started at present, it is just because the time has not yet come, if one day, these people will hinder his way and block his way, they will definitely not die well, Xiao Jing is so innocent, it is not easy to be used as bait by Xiao Wen.
If such a thoughtful and terrible person is allowed to continue to be led on the throne, he will be positioned as a cruel king like Xia Wei and King Shang.
Although he yearns for freedom, unrestrained, and unfettered life, and does not want Chen Xian to be involved in the disputes of this troubled world, but now, the arrow is ready to be sent.
Chen Xian's choice may be correct, and it is hope for everyone.
So, he decided to help Chen Xian secretly, and he was bound to help him!
