Chapter 396: Heart-to-Heart

Night, quiet.

Wind, gentle.

Xue Shao gently supported Princess Taiping, and slowly walked in the courtyard of the sycamores, and the silver moonlight quietly blended the figures of the two together.

There were no words, no sounds, and even the nearest Linlang of the guards was a hundred paces away.

Xue Shao felt that no one had ever been so close to his heart. There is no need for words to confess, but the other party's inner world can be understood clearly. The two souls are like figures in the moonlight, as if they were one.

Heart-to-heart, but that's it.

"Xue Lang, look." Princess Taiping raised her hand and pointed to the moon in the night sky, and said, "I used to be eager to fly to the moon with wings to take a look. There must be a heavenly court palace that is incomparable to the palace, and there are beautiful fairies that are unimaginable in the world! ā€

Xue Shao smiled.

"But now, I don't want to go." Princess Taiping gently curled the corners of her mouth, revealing a satisfied and warm smile, "With you, I won't go anywhere!" ā€

"Only envy mandarin ducks, not immortals!" Xue Shao kissed her lightly on the forehead.

Princess Taiping closed her eyes, her expression was beautiful, and she enjoyed it.

Xue Shao just kissed it, but his heart moved strangely, and his attention suddenly shifted to a little farther behind him.

Someone, hiding there!

Assassins? …… Xue Shao's heart tightened slightly, he was actually able to evade the monitoring of Yang Siqiao, Linlang and a hundred Yulin Army, and hide not far from our side to peep!

Awesome characters!

Xue Shao remained silent and only secretly raised his vigilance, and even Princess Taiping didn't notice his abnormality.

"Xue Lang, sit down." Princess Taiping pulled Xue Shao to sit in the stone pavilion in the courtyard, her expression was indifferent, but her eyes were slightly stricter, "I have something to say to you." ā€

"Okay." Xue Shao knew that she was going to talk about the beginning and end of Chang'an's trip.

"My mother has something to say, let me tell you word for word!" Princess Taiping's expression was a little more stern.

"Okay, you say." Xue Shao nodded seriously, and at the same time kept an eye on it, paying attention to the figure not far away.

Princess Taiping obviously didn't notice anything unusual, and seriously, she conveyed Wu Zetian's words to Xue Shao as they were.

"The rest has nothing to do with it." Obviously, in the words conveyed by Wu Zetian, the most critical and core sentence is this sentence.

The intention could not be more obvious, Xue Shao understood it as soon as he heard it - Wu Zetian had a clear attitude, and chose Xue Shao from the court turmoil, telling him not to care about anything, not to ask anything, and not to participate in anything!

"Protection" - Wu Zetian's attitude and intentions towards Xue Shao have been clarified.

"I see." Xue Shao nodded.

Princess Taiping gently patted Xue Shao's chest, "Xue Lang, don't do this next time." Although you are smart and capable, you still seem to be a little rusty about the way of officials in the court. I am your wife, and I should be your helper. In the future, if something happens, you might as well discuss with me before making a decision, how about it? ā€

Princess Taiping's criticism is very tactful, and Jian YƬ is also quite pertinent. Xue Shao was speechless, smiled ashamedly and patted Princess Taiping's hand gently, "As you said, I have just entered the official career, and there are still many things I don't understand." You grew up beside the diva since you were a child, and you are well-informed and resourceful. In the future, whenever something happens, I will definitely consult with you, and I will never be stubborn again. ā€

"Then it's decided!" Princess Taiping smiled, quite happy.

"It's a deal!"

The strange figure not far away didn't move, as if it didn't have any malice, just stopped and watched for a moment. At this time, it drifted away silently.

Who exactly is it? …… Xue Shao's heart tightened slightly, and he muttered secretly.

"Xue Lang, there are still some things I have to say to you in detail."

……

On the other hand, a battle between tracking and counter-tracking in the dark has begun.

A white shadow flew as fast and uncertain as the night ghost, flying lightly between the various gardens and houses in the Yaochi Jade Forest. Linlang is one in front of the other, one behind the other, one left and one right, respectively holding swords and chasing after them.

Linlang didn't dare to disturb the princess in a big way, and when things were done, they would pick a free time to go back and report to the princess, which was their usual style of doing things.

Those guards of the Royal Forest Army were unaware!

After chasing for a few distances, the hearts of the Linlang sisters invariably tightened slightly-very few people can escape the joint pursuit of our sisters, what a powerful character!

Suddenly, a strong wind sounded between the two sisters, and at the same time a deep voice sounded, "Go back and protect the princess!" ā€

Yang Siqiao!

Linlang froze his body at the same time, that's right, beware of the other party leaving the mountain! …… Now that the senior brother is out of the horse, the two of us are also redundant!

At that moment, Linlang turned back without hesitation.

Yang Siqiao's skills are obviously much more presumptuous than Linlang, three or five ups and downs, and he is already very close to the other party.

"Don't run." Yang Siqiao suddenly stopped chasing, and stood up and snorted.

The other party actually really stood still.

Yang Siqiao was preoccupied with secret vigilance, slowly approached the other party, and said, "Look at your body, it seems familiar." ā€

The other party stood still, cleverly hiding in the shadow of a mountain rock, so that people couldn't even see the outline of his figure clearly.

Yang Siqiao slowly approached, "Unless my father-in-law Yang Gong is reborn, there are few people in this world who can still have such exquisite skills, so that Linlang can't catch up with them." ā€

The other party remained unmoved, and did not speak.

Yang Siqiao stood still and said calmly, "I probably know who you are." But I don't know what you're here for. ā€

"Curious."

The other party said two words, muddy and unclear, neither male nor female.

Ventriloquism?!

Yang Siqiao was slightly taken aback, and replied calmly: "In the courtyard, what is there to be curious about?" ā€

"You're too curious."

Yang Simiao frowned, and his dark luck strength raised his vigilance.

"I have no ill intentions." The other party still said in that muddled voice, "You go!" ā€

"Where the duty lies, how can I not ask a question?" Of course, Yang Siqiao refused to leave.

"Not everything, you should know." The other party said.

Yang Siqiao was slightly stunned, "What if I have to know?" ā€

"You don't have the skills."

Yang Siqiao frowned, and just as soon as he clenched his fist, the other party suddenly shot out like a sharp arrow, and a few quick dodges and movements among the messy and complex mountains and rocks disappeared.

Yang Siqiao snorted depressedly and did not pursue, at this time in this kind of place, it is obviously more than ten times easier to escape than to pursue!

"Go back, how do you explain?"

……

In the courtyard, Xue Shao was still discussing this matter with Princess Taiping. The superfluous mysterious eyes and ears are gone, and Xue Shao dares to say some things directly.

"The queen of heaven is generous, which surprises me and makes me ashamed." Xue Shao said, "Actually, I should have understood that the political propositions that I, a newcomer to the official career, could think of, must have been put forward by someone in the court a long time ago, and the two saints must have been considered." Regarding the actual situation in the north of the desert, the two saints and the prime ministers must also know it well. I may be a little unfounded and self-inflicted. ā€

"It's not. You don't think so. Princess Taiping said affirmatively and patiently, "My mother has been the queen for more than ten years, and she has always assisted my father in ruling the emperor. Although some people were unhappy with her actions, her shrewdness and ability amazed and admired everyone, including her enemies. For the affairs of the Tang Dynasty, people's livelihood and military affairs, almost no one in the world knows more than my mother, even my father and many old prime ministers sighed to themselves, otherwise my father would not have entrusted the queen with important responsibilities. This was made possible entirely thanks to some of the virtues that my mother learned from my grandfather, Emperor Taizong. Do you know what it is? ā€

"Good at admonishment?" Xue Shao replied.

"It's both listening and admonishing." Princess Taiping said seriously, "Once, my father and emperor privately laughed at himself in front of his mother, saying that many fine traditions left by Emperor Taizong Zhenguan were not well studied and inherited by him, but were learned and inherited by his queen. Today's Datang can have such a magnificent atmosphere, and the queen of heaven is definitely indispensable. ā€

Xue Shao's heart moved slightly, this kind of words, Li Zhi will probably only say it in private, and will definitely not let it appear in the official history books written by the historian. However, these remarks are the most objective affirmation of Wu Zetian's political talents and historical achievements.

"Xue Lang, no matter what the world thinks of my queen mother, I know that she is definitely not a self-righteous person. Not to mention that you are a hero who serves the country with fists, or a colt she personally chose for me, even if her enemies say something pertinent, she will seriously consider it, and even adopt and implement it. Princess Taiping said, "I think this is the reason why my queen mother really didn't blame you." She knew that she was really thinking about Datang, not seeking personal gain, and she had no bad intentions to bring disaster to the country and the people. The cloud structure of the building is not a branch of a tree, and the work of the emperor is not a strategy, you must be familiar with this word. ā€

"That's right." Xue Shao nodded, "From "Zhenguan Political Dignitaries", I have read it. ā€

"My queen mother often said this to the right and left people and the big and small ministers, and even I remember it. In fact, she did. Princess Taiping said, "In fact, in retrospect, in addition to the life and death enemies who deliberately embarrassed them, my queen mother really likes the kind of loyal and upright people who dare to speak out." Even if someone proposes a proposal that is not at all appropriate or contrary to her own wishes, even if she does not adopt it, she will not attack and denigrate it, but will encourage them to express their opinions and actively admonish. The more assertive the person, the more my mother likes it, appreciates it, and uses it more - so Xue Lang, don't have any scruples about this incident. As long as you are genuinely thinking about Datang and sincerely worrying about the two saints, there is nothing to worry about! ā€

This is called not picking up the lamp, not turning on, and not saying it thoroughly. Listening to Princess Taiping's words, the only trace of doubt and worries left in Xue Shao's heart instantly drifted away.

A peculiar sense of superiority also rose in Xue Shao's heart at the same time - because in addition to him Xue Shao in the court, I am afraid that the other courtiers are all pondering the thoughts of the two saints day and night, guessing the direction of the government above the court.

Now it's okay, only he, Xue Shao, has the intimate little cotton silk of Princess Taiping, and he can clearly explain many of the queen's intentions to himself, and he doesn't have to guess and figure it out by himself.

Thinking of this, Xue Shao couldn't help but be a little happy, Princess Taiping, who is now close to my heart, is like a "brainless plug-in" for me!.
