At the urging of the two, Du Chengyuan shook his fist and told the future history.

It turned out that after the father and son of King Beiheng were taken to the prison, they did not sit still. I don't know where they contacted their men, secretly dug a tunnel under the prison, and escaped without knowing it.

With a weird smile on the corner of his mouth, Du Pingfei asked, "Then now, there is no one in the prison?" ”

"King Beiheng is still here." Du Chengyuan said, when he saw the look of disappointment on her face, he realized, "Niangniang, do you want the father and son of King Beiheng to escape from Tianjing together?" ”

Du Pingfei's eyes lit up, "Do you have a way?" ”

"No ......" Du Chengyuan clenched his hand into a fist against his lips and coughed uncomfortably, "Niangniang, isn't it better for King Beiheng to stay in the prison?" In this way, if Tang Mengqian does anything, it will also be restricted. ”

Du Pingfei glanced at him and sneered: "Since this palace wants to get rid of this father and son, the best way is to force them to a dead end. But once they have concerns, whether it is King Beiheng or Tang Mengqian, they must not let go of their hands and feet to do what they want to do. As a result, there will be a lot of unnecessary troubles. ”

Cutting the grass must be eradicated, this is the principle she has always adhered to.

Du Chengyuan was quite surprised by this.

As the most noble woman in the Liang Dynasty, Du Pingfei has some means, which is really normal. Otherwise, it won't be able to deter all kinds of demons and monsters in the harem. But today's ruthless mind is not inferior to the power-grabbers in the court.

He has always had a different kind of contempt for the women who appear around him. In his eyes, although Du Pingfei has a special identity and holds the power of life and death in the harem, he is only a short-sighted character who only knows how to intrigue with other women.

Those methods can't be put on the table at all.

It's just that since he chose to take refuge in her, he had to compromise.

But after seeing Du Pingfei's deep thoughts at this moment, he no longer dared to despise her, and said sincerely: "What Niangniang said is extremely true. Now, what do we need to do? ”

Du Pingfei slowly retracted his expression, twisted his eyebrows and pondered for a moment before saying, "At this time, Prime Minister Sun Cheng and the others are estimated to have gone to the prison to see what is going on." Du Chengyuan, you take a trip on behalf of the palace to see what King Beiheng has in mind. ”

Since Tang Mengqian can secretly escape from the Heavenly Prison, it must not be difficult to bring one more Beiheng King.

But the result was that King Beiheng stayed.

What is the purpose of this?

Vaguely, she felt that there was something she had overlooked, but there were too few traces left by King Beiheng before, and even if she wanted to break her head at this moment, she couldn't think of a reason.

"What does Niangniang mean, King Beiheng deliberately stayed in the prison?" Du Chengyuan was quite puzzled, "But what he did was tantamount to dragging Tang Mengqian's back legs, which was incomprehensible......"

"Who knows?" Du Pingfei seemed to have thought of something, and said mockingly, "The reason for this is only known to their father and son." Speaking of which, Hongu really underestimated them. ”

After a pause, she asked again: "Although the King of Beiheng is subdued, he can't give up halfway what he was responsible for before. You find an opportunity to ask Prime Minister Sun what he means. After delaying for so long, it can't be a big mistake......"

Du Chengyuan immediately responded, but he was a little unimpressed. The border war is not a child's play, and in the blink of an eye, the situation will be turned upside down. If it is really delayed, it will be useless to make up for it at this moment.

Xu saw what he was thinking, Du Pingfei's phoenix eyes were cold, and he said unhappily: "What? What do you think is wrong? ”

Du Chengyuan hurriedly regained his mind and responded: "Niangniang is too worried." Since Niangniang has nothing else to do, Weichen retired first. ”

With that, he turned and walked out.

It was still raining and snowing outside the door, and he remembered the conversation just now, and sighed secretly in his heart.

He was about to step into the wind and snow, but he saw a person standing under the corridor, he hesitated, and then walked towards the person, "Father-in-law Xiao Yao, why are you standing in this ice and snow?" ”

When Xiao Yao was discussing things with Du Pingfei, he quietly withdrew. At this moment, seeing him take the initiative to talk, the look in his eyes immediately became a little deeper, "Lord Du is going out of the palace?" ”

"The Queen asked me to take care of the follow-up." Du Chengyuan thought about it, then briefly elaborated on the previous conversation, and said at the end, "This matter seems simple, but if it is not handled properly, it will definitely cause trouble." Moreover, although the king of Beiheng has been imprisoned in the heavenly prison, there are still many people in the court who refute it. At this time, it is really not appropriate to mix it up. Father-in-law Xiao Yao has been with the queen for many years, do you know why the queen made such a decision? ”

Xiao Yao's expression remained unchanged, "What Lord Du wants to ask, I'm afraid it's not that simple, right?" ”

"I just think it's not rational for the queen to intervene in this matter." Du Chengyuan didn't mind revealing what he was thinking, and at first glance, he looked a little like he was sincerely asking Xiao Yao for advice.

Although Xiao Yao didn't know the content of their conversation, the keen intuition he had cultivated over the years could still guess some of Du Pingfei's psychology. After thinking about it, he said: "Since it is the instruction of the queen's mother, Lord Du will do it." You just need to remember one thing: whatever decision she makes, it won't affect the big picture. ”

"Is that so?" Du Chengyuan expressed skepticism.

Dare to do tricks on military aircraft affairs, it is estimated that Du Pingfei is the only one in the past.

But he didn't want to, Xiao Yao's eyes suddenly turned cold when he heard this, and he said clearly: "This country is the emperor's country." No matter how the queen mother calculates, she will not joke with the emperor's country. I hope that Lord Du will keep this in mind. ”

Du Chengyuan suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, but he didn't say anything to refute it.

He knew that this Xiao Yao was a big celebrity around Du Pingfei and had great rights. The reason why I took the initiative to talk to him just now was that curiosity also occupied a large part.

He had never seen the relationship between the master and servant in the palace, but he also knew clearly that normal master and servant should not be like them. He had never heard Xiao Yao call himself a "slave", and Du Pingfei seemed to acquiesce in such behavior. And what surprised him was the extremely rare tacit understanding between the two.

This pair of master and servant is really unusual!

The more he thought about it, the more curious he became, so much so that when he looked at it with burning eyes, Xiao Yao frowned rarely, and said quite unhappily: "Master Du still has something?" ”

"Oh, it's not ......" Du Chengyuan suddenly came back to his senses, a little uncomfortable, and was about to say something, but he continued, "Since it's okay, let's get out of the palace quickly." There are many eyes and ears in this palace, and it is inconvenient for you to be a foreign minister......"

Du Chengyuan's unspoken words suddenly fell back into his stomach, and when he saw that he showed a non-relenting expression on the spot, he could only leave in a huff.

Xiao Yao watched his back disappear from view, and after a long time, he shook off the snow on his body and turned back to the hall.

At that time, Du Pingfei was standing in front of the window and pondering, and when he saw him walk in, he said lightly: "Du Chengyuan is gone?" ”

"Hmm." Xiao Yao responded casually, remembering the conversation just now, he still couldn't hold back, and asked what he thought in his heart, "Now, Tang Mengqian has fled, and there is a chance that he will return to Yunzhou, what do you think?" ”

"What do you think, what does Hongu think?" Du Pingfei asked without answering.

Xiao Yao thought that she would make an explanation, but she didn't think that she would have such a non-caring attitude, and an evil fire suddenly grew in her chest, and she mocked: "Are you very satisfied with such a result?" ”

"What do you think?" Du Pingfei's expression remained unchanged, and even in the face of Xiao Yao's overstepping behavior, there was still a cool smile on the corner of his mouth, "Xiao Yao, how to do things in this palace, I don't need you to talk about it, right?" ”

The evil fire in Xiao Yao's chest was a little stronger, and he suddenly threw a punch to the side unexpectedly, and the rare treasures on Duobaoge crackled and shattered to the ground. This movement attracted the attention of Feng He and the others, and immediately after, two heads appeared at the door of the temple.

Du Pingfei's expression was cold, and he said sharply: "Go out to the palace!" ”

The two heads suddenly retracted.

There was an eerie silence all around.

Du Ping's flying eyes seemed to turn into a sharp sword, and he shot at Xiao Yao unceremoniously.

Between the four eyes, her cold voice slowly sounded, "Xiao Yao, this palace thinks that you are still different from others. Over the years, if it weren't for you, this palace wouldn't have gone so smoothly, but that doesn't mean you can forget your identity. ”

Xiao Yao didn't give an inch, and mocked: "You don't have to always remind me of my identity. What should be done and what should not be done, I know better than you. ”

Du Pingfei laughed angrily at him, "Then what do you mean now?" Leaving the enemy outside to deal with it, he actually came to humiliate and question the main palace? ”

"If you think so, then you are!" Xiao Yao's expression was faint.

In fact, since the last time, the two broke up unhappily, he has been holding a breath in his chest. Now, I just found an opportunity to vent, and the cold eyes that could have been solved in one step have been infinitely magnified at the moment.

So, between the two of them, it is this inexplicable fire.

But Du Pingfei couldn't get used to his attitude, and his tone was so cold that he was scumbag, "Do you think you have this qualification?" ”

"Are you qualified, don't you know best?" Xiao Yao's face was cold, contrary to his previous respect and obedience, "First used the King of Beiheng to stumble on the footsteps of the army reinforcements, and then turned a blind eye to Tang Mengqian's escape, what do you want to do?" ”

Du Pingfei's face changed almost invisibly, "What turn a blind eye?" This is the ability of King Beiheng's father and son, what does it have to do with this palace? ”

"You're still quibbling!" Xiao Yao suddenly became furious, pointed at her and shouted, "In the past few days, you have secretly mobilized my subordinates, isn't it to monitor the movements of King Beiheng's father and son?" Do you dare to say that you don't know about Tang Mengqian's actions? Do you dare to say that Tang Mengqian was able to escape from Tianjing without the ingredients you deliberately connived at? ”

"Presumptuous! Don't rely on yourself to follow the palace for many years, you can blame the palace in disregard! What this palace should do, it's not your turn to teach! Du Pingfei was so angry that he brushed his sleeves, and the tea cup on the table next to him was swept to the ground by her, and the tea splashed everywhere in an instant, and it was a mess.

After speaking, there was another sneer in her heart.

For so many years, this is the first time that the two have faced off against each other in disregard of face, and the reason for this is for this irrelevant matter.

The anger in her heart became stronger and stronger, as if to vent, and she said angrily: "You are right, this palace knows Tang Mengqian's movements, and it is also intentional to let him leave Tianjing!" Bengong just wants to make trouble for Xie Er, just to put that person in a dilemma! If they don't put this palace in their eyes, they should be able to afford the calculations of this palace! They brought it on themselves! ”

"You're crazy!" Although he had already guessed the reason, Xiao Yao still felt cold in his heart when he really heard her admit it in person.

This woman is an out-and-out madman, right?

Du Pingfei sneered: "This palace is crazy, but so what? ”

"How? You still have the face to ask how? Xiao Yao suddenly rushed forward, grabbed her shirt, and said with a hideous face, "Years ago, you did something like that to Marshal Xie, and now you want to do it again?" The people of the Xie family are in the way of you, you want to target them like this? ”

Du Pingfei was stupid, he didn't seem to expect him to make such a move.

The next moment, she suddenly broke free from his grip, staggered back, and said coldly: "What? After all these years, you finally have a flood of compassion? But don't forget, it was your credit to intercept so many battle reports from Xie Fenghua at the beginning! If you really want to talk about it, you're the real executioner! Where do you think your hands can be clean? ”

Xiao Yao staggered, suddenly hugged his head, and roared.

After a while, he raised his head again and squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth, "Aren't you afraid that I will tell the emperor about the events of the year?" ”

"What are you going to do?" Du Pingfei's weakness has always been Zhao Pei, hearing him say this at this moment, his face immediately showed a trace of panic, and he said hurriedly, "Xiao Yao, this palace has not been easy to get to this position, how can you ......bear it?"

Xiao Yao suddenly laughed sarcastically, looked at her deeply, but didn't say anything, turned around and was about to walk out.

"Xiao Yao!" Du Ping took a few steps forward quickly, but remembered something again, and suddenly paused, with a little trepidation, "You won't betray me, will you?" ”

There was a rare uncertainty in his voice.

In the past, she wouldn't have asked anything like that. But after the quarrel just now, she suddenly found that she no longer understood what Xiao Yao was thinking. At this time, she thought of what she should do after Xiao Yao revealed the matter to Zhao Pei.

When Xiao Yao heard this, he suddenly stopped, but he didn't look back, and after a while, he strode away.

Du Pingfei looked at his departing back, and suddenly rubbed his eyebrows, and a touch of bitterness overflowed from the corners of his lips.

Feng He secretly poked out half of his head, and said tremblingly: "Niangniang, do you want to chase Xiao Yao's father-in-law back?" ”

In her impression, Xiao Yao has always been a person who is moody, and it was the first time she had seen him so out of control. There was such a big commotion in the hall just now, which showed that he was really angry. If you don't take this opportunity to pull people back, you don't know what will happen.

But Du Pingfei was silent for a moment, but shook his head and said, "Forget it." Leave him alone for now, let him be quiet for a while. Didn't you get out of the movement just now? ”

"Rest assured, the slave has already sent all the people out, and she won't leak half a sentence." Feng Lotus replied respectfully.

Hearing this, Du Pingfei stretched his eyebrows a little, and said, "Fenghe, wait a minute, you go to the Heart Cultivation Palace." If you can, try to let Gonggong Lu reveal some news to Concubine Tang Xian. ”

Feng He pursed his lips and said softly: "Niang Niang refers to the news of the Beiheng Palace?" ”

"Yes."

"But the slave has a humble status, and she may not be able to move Father-in-law Lu!" Feng He said worriedly, "Niangniang, in the past, this kind of thing was done by Xiao Yao's father-in-law, or else, the slave and maid went to find him back?" Father-in-law Lu will sell him some thin ......"

The sound stopped abruptly.

Du Pingfei's sharp eyes shot at her, and after a while, she said in a cold sweat: "It's the slave who has overstepped the rules." The slave and maid went to do it immediately. ”

After saying that, she retreated as if she had fled.

Du Pingfei stood in front of the window, staring deeply at the door of the palace, not knowing what he was thinking.

……

After a while, there was a sudden chaos in the Heart Cultivation Palace, and the imperial doctors were summoned. I thought something had happened to the emperor, but I didn't expect that the person who had the accident this time was Concubine Tang Xian.

After hearing about what happened to Beiheng Wangfu, Concubine Tang Xian became popular on the spot!

Originally, Concubine Tang Xian was still in the dangerous period of the first three months and couldn't withstand any stimulation, but Du Pingfei deliberately asked Fenghe to pass on the news, obviously with bad intentions.

However, in the end, the fetus in the womb was in danger.

It didn't take long for news to spread in the Heart Cultivation Hall that Concubine Tang Xian suddenly fell ill.

At that time, Du Pingfei was practicing calligraphy, and suddenly heard the news, and the tip of the pen rolled down a cloud of ink stains, and a pair of words was so ruined.

She crumpled the paper into a ball and asked sneeringly, "Really sick?" ”

"Hui Niangniang, that's what the Imperial Doctor said." Feng He repeated the news he heard again, and finally said, "Niangniang, do you suspect that this news is fake?" ”

Du Pingfei smiled, "It shouldn't be fake." Concubine Tang Xian doesn't have that much ability to make people who can move the hospital. However, since she is sick, she has saved a lot of things in the palace. The people who were placed around the Tai Hospital and the Heart Cultivation Hall were all evacuated and returned. The main palace has other arrangements. ”

After saying that, she couldn't help but feel irritated when she thought of the origin of these people.

Over the years, with Xiao Yao by her side, she only needs to be instructed to do many things, and Xiao Yao has her own to arrange. But the two had just quarreled, and if she called these people without any scruples, there would always be some pimples in her heart.

But if she didn't use these people, she wouldn't be able to do anything. For the first time, she experienced what it was like.

Thinking like this, the restlessness in her heart became a little stronger, and after a long time, she said, "Let's call people back first." As for the rest, I'll talk about it when I've thought about it. ”

Feng He knew in his heart, sighed secretly, and was still thinking about how to invite Xiao Yao back before going out.

……

said that after Du Chengyuan left the palace, he braved the wind and snow to go to the mansion of the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, and then went straight to the prison.

Due to Tang Mengqian's escape from Tianjing, the guards of the heavenly prison were several times stricter than before, and they walked all the way over, with silver armor and spears, and the aura was overwhelming. He just walked in a few steps, but two people came to him, it was Sun Mingyuan and Xu Hong, the secretary of Dali Temple.

Behind them, the King of Beiheng was shackled in his hands, and he was struck by the guards of the Heavenly Prison back and forth, and there was no longer the majesty of the past.

When Sun Mingyuan saw him, he also stopped and asked politely, "Cheng Shilang, why did you come here?" ”

After Du Chengyuan entered the court, after a short period of time, he mixed into the position of the waiter of the criminal department.

Externally, others know that he is capable, and many old ministers in the DPRK and China appreciate him very much.

Sun Mingyuan is one of them.

At this moment, seeing that he suddenly appeared in the heavenly prison, with unmelted ice and snow on his body, Sun Mingyuan's tone was also a little concerned.

Du Chengyuan hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Xia Guan has seen Xiangye, Lord Xu." The lower officials came here because of Chen Shangshu's instructions. I just didn't expect to meet you two here. ”

Sun Mingyuan knew that he was deeply valued by Chen Kang, and he didn't doubt it, so he just said: "That's not necessary." The prime minister and the other ministers decided to take the prisoner to Dali Temple. You go back to Chen Shangshu. ”

"Yes. Xia Guan understood. After Du Chengyuan finished speaking, he stepped aside.

At the moment when he rubbed shoulders with King Beiheng, he raised his eyes to look at this person, and when he got closer, he found that King Beiheng was not as depressed as he seemed on the surface, and under closer inspection, he could even glimpse a flash of light in the depths of his eyes.

His heart froze, and something vaguely flashed through his mind. But that thought came and went very quickly, and before he could come up with a reason, the back of King Beiheng had disappeared from view.

After pondering for a moment, he suddenly lifted his robe and walked out as if the wind was blowing.

……

And after Tang Mengqian left Tianjing, under the escort of the secret guards, he hurried to Yunzhou.

The rain and snow blocked the road, and more than a dozen horses were tired to death, and the journey of more than ten days was shortened to three or four days by them. Now, Yunzhou is still in peace, Tang Mengqian and his party returned to the palace, and immediately gathered the staff in the palace to discuss the method of counterattack overnight.

The result of the discussion was that the Beiheng Royal Mansion quietly reversed.

The so-called "quietly" is actually to catch the border cities off guard.

So, that night, Tang Mengqian led 20,000 Yunzhou garrisons and approached Lincheng.

In the city, there are soldiers and horses under the command of Dou Changke. After numerous battles with the Northern Underworld, he was forced to retreat to Lincheng. And the Northern Underworld relied on the numerical advantage to occupy two cities.

Because Tang Mengqian's attack came very suddenly, Dou Changke did not wait for the reinforcements of the imperial court, and the city where he was located was attacked by both sides, and the situation was very urgent.

Dou Changke sat in the tent of the Chinese army, listened to the arguments of his generals, and was so annoyed that he lost his temper on the spot and drove people out directly.

At this time, he missed Xie Fenghua very much.

At this time, Xie Fenghua was stopped on the way down the mountain.

She looked at the people on the inner and outer three floors, all dressed in guard clothes, and her eyes fell straight on the slender figure in the front, and suddenly asked, "What are you doing here?" ”

"Beauty, after you left, I found out that I couldn't bear you! No, I hurriedly brought someone to chase you! Ling Fei had bright eyes and bright teeth, and smiled like a flower, and in a few words, it seemed that he had returned to the mode of getting along in those days.
