Chapter 457: Xingshi asks the guilty and finds the wrong person
Although Xiao Jingxian is the brother-in-law of Emperor Beiyan and one of the top magnates in Northern Yan, he doesn't really care about his personal life. He can live in the Huawu Art Room, enjoy the sheng song and swallow dance, and eat delicious food; You can have coarse tea and light rice, and you can have a simple house; You can drink with a vulgar martial artist and talk about murder; You can also talk about songs with elegant scribes......
In short, as long as he wants, he can live anywhere and pretend to be anything.
But as long as there are conditions, no one will refuse a life of luxury. For Emperor Nanwu generously rewarded him with a royal palace, and clearly said that this would be the Jin Palace, he naturally would not refuse. After a good tour of his new home, he had to secretly calculate his future daily expenses and the need for servants and guards.
He didn't bring anyone with him when he came to Southern Wu, but this doesn't mean that he will really live here alone and accept all the servants and guards arranged by the emperor. If this is the case, he will inevitably be regarded by some officials of Southern Wu as a waste who eats nothing for nothing, and second, he will inevitably be controlled by others.
"It's time to summon the order...... I have to gather 180 people anyway, otherwise how can people pay attention to me? Oh, my personality is very simple, I would rather make people afraid of me and guard against me, than let people despise me and insult me! ”
Xiao Jingxian stood in front of the window of the two-story building in the garden, and made up his mind. At this moment, he saw a person coming in a hurry on the outer road, and when he got downstairs, he glanced up at him, and then arched his hand and said: "His Royal Highness the King of Jin, the prince of Yue Jiu brought someone here, saying that there is something important to see you." ”
"Not long after we separated, he came to me, my nephew is really caring." Xiao Jingxian teased with a smile, and then ordered lightly, "No matter who he brings, bring them in." Then tell everyone else to remember it to me, and when Yue Jiu Gongzi comes over in the future, there is no need to report, even if he comes in the middle of the night, let him in! Even if I can't trust the people of the world, will I still not be able to trust him? ”
When the guard who reported down heard the two words of his nephew, and then heard the last sentence, even if he was horrified, he didn't dare to refute it at will, so he could only agree first.
When he got outside, he first glanced at Yue Qianqiu, who was holding a beautiful young woman who didn't know whether she was sleeping or unconscious, and then looked at Xu Hao again, and then said respectfully: "His Royal Highness the King of Jin, please go in." ”
Being able to enter the door, Yue Qianqiu was sure that Xiao Jingxian was free to at least meet people here.
This royal courtyard is one of the many royal properties, Yue Qianqiu has naturally never been here, but following the guard walking in it, he silently counted the courtyards he passed and the buildings he saw, and finally secretly hit ninety points in his heart.
is not much worse than the Dongyang Eldest Princess's Mansion, which shows that the emperor's courtesy to Xiao Jingxian is not empty words.
When Yue Qianqiu finally saw Xiao Jingxian, he saw someone sitting outside the window of the two-story building, with his feet sitting in the air without sitting in the air, looking at him condescendingly for a long time.
Seeing that the guard who led the way in did not leave at this time, and he did not even have an evasive attitude, it was obvious that he had already received some kind of order, Yue Qianqiu said bluntly: "Xiao Jingxian, you did a good deed!" Look who you've provoked me! ”
Xiao Jingxian had already seen the young woman behind Yue Qianqiu who was dressed very differently from ordinary servants, but when she stretched out one hand and held the girl's chin with the other hand, so that he could see that face, he was so disgusted that he pressed the windowsill and flew down directly. When he landed, he almost stumbled, and out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Yue Qianqiu's annoyance at that moment.
Deliberately made this action when the injury was not healed, why didn't he test Yue Qianqiu's reaction? At this time, he got the feedback he wanted, he was satisfied, clapped his hands and said lightly: "In the end, the injury is not healed, and it is a little reluctant." Xiao Qianqiu, what does it mean that you brought Xiao Twelve over to see me like this? ”
"You don't understand?" Yue Qianqiu really showed a little stunned, "Didn't you find a way to help the Twelve Princesses run out of Shangjing City and cross the border to my Dawu?" ”
Xiao Jingxian's twelve or three words, the guards who reported it were still a little unclear, but when he heard the four words of the twelve princesses, he changed color when he landed. As much as he managed to tell him to calm down, continue to listen to what Yue Qianqiu and Xiao Jingxian said, but this news was too unusual, he weighed it again and again, and finally quietly turned around and rushed out quickly, intending to have someone send the news to the palace immediately.
And Xiao Jingxian didn't pay attention to this little eyeliner at all, and said in a deep voice: "She arrived in Jinling earlier than us, didn't she?" ”
Seeing that Yue Qianqiu didn't speak, it was a tacit acquiescence, Xiao Jingxian smiled and said: "Even if we walked slowly after entering Nanwu, and we delayed some effort in the south, but she walked too fast, so it is not surprising that you suspect that someone in Beiyan will answer him and suspect that I am conniving." But think about it, I had already decided to leave Beiyan, why did I take you to provoke her? ”
"I want to wake up this girl who is as stupid and conceited as the eldest princess, a brother who has no relatives, the so-called favor and honor are just the moon in the glasses in the water, if you don't restrain yourself, the future will be the way to die! Of course, she fell out with you and me, and after we left, she might be less implicated. But she later relied on you, which I didn't expect, but I wouldn't coax her to the south. ”
"After all, she is the princess of the golden branches and jade leaves in Beiyan, what is she in the south?"
After being beaten by Xiao Jingxian's words, Yue Qianqiu glanced at the twelve princesses, and her face couldn't help but get darker and darker. If it was Xiao Jingxian, who was cold on the surface but actually thoughtful, needless to say, he would definitely help the Twelfth Princess clean up her whole day, and would not let her unauthorized southward move affect her mother Concubine Hui and those subordinates.
But if it was really not Xiao Jingxian, but someone else picked it up or even arranged it...... Does this little girl know how many people will be miserable?
"Then who helped the Twelve Princesses here? Does she know what the end of running over like this is, why doesn't she think about her mother, Concubine Hui? Even if it was the favorite concubine of the Northern Yan Emperor, how many favorite concubines did the Northern Yan Emperor have over the years? ”
The more Qianqiu said it, the more annoyed she became, and even wondered if the younger four threw off her burden: "To put it mildly, her mother is already the third concubine!" And when you and Xiao Changheng took me into the palace for the first time, I also saw Xu Houcong having a tryst with a woman...... The palace is so chaotic, how can she bear to leave her mother in that tiger and wolf den like this? ”
Whether it was Yue Qianqiu or Xiao Jingxian, they didn't pay attention to it, An Renqing, who was standing there quietly with the twelve princesses, had already started to do certain things with her super adaptability since she inquired about the identity of the little girl in her hand.
She used her fingernails to quietly press on a few acupuncture points that could make people wake up from the coma as soon as possible, and then she was keenly aware of the change in the breath of the twelve princesses. Even if she knew that if this princess of Beiyan showed a posture of awakening, the few pinchs she would definitely be exposed, but the gambling nature of selling women in the rivers and lakes prevailed.
Sure enough, even if she should have woken up and heard Yue Qianqiu's words, the twelve princesses still maintained the posture they had just held motionless.
And when Yue Qianqiu began to lose her temper and wanted to find out the person who had brought the twelve princesses to the south, and even began to count the twelve princesses regardless of her mother Concubine Hui, she immediately found that the little girl who looked calm in her hand finally trembled. At this time, she didn't help to cover it up, but shouted directly: "Ninth Prince, she's awake!" ”
Yue Qianqiu suddenly turned his head. He wasn't very confident in the strength of his attack - because the last time he knocked Xiao Jingxian unconscious, it didn't have an effect for too long. Therefore, seeing the twelve princesses staggering and standing up straight, he immediately glared at him fiercely, he didn't care about the instructions of the eldest lady before, and said with a cold face: "You give me a good stay here in Xiao Jingxian, and I will find a way to send you back!" ”
Seeing that Yue Qianqiu turned around and was about to leave, the twelve princesses suddenly broke free of An Renqing, took a few steps forward and stretched out their arms to block in front of him. She took a deep breath and said word by word, "I heard everything you just said!" Since you are still worried about whether I will affect my mother when I come out, then you still have a little conscience, and you don't want to use me to deceive me. ”
She bit her lip fiercely, and then said word by word: "I was able to run to Beiyan, it was indeed not Uncle Jin who helped me, it was the eldest sister who helped me!" At that time, Shangjing was in a mess because you left, and no one paid attention to me, an insignificant princess of Yueguo, so I ran out! But I left a letter to my father, and I said that I would arrest you and go back to him to ask for guilt, so my mother will be fine! ”
"Are you a three-year-old?" Yue Qianqiu was really angry, "You believe what the eldest princess says?" You're not stupid! That night, you asked her to meet Xiao Jingxian, but Xiao Jingxian said in front of Wang Jingnan and so many people that the eldest princess was not born to your father, and she hated Xiao Jingxian at the same time, couldn't she hate you? ”
After scolding, he pointed to his nose and said: "Also, I am the grandson of the prime minister of Beiyan, you Beiyan abducted Xiao Jingxian, the king of Jin, back to Dawu, and now your father and the officials of Beiyan must hate me to the bone, you are not the head of the Autumn Hunting Division, and second, you are not a famous general on the battlefield who is not brave enough, why do they believe that you can take me back?" ”
"People don't think you're getting carried away, so it's strange that you eloped to Nanwu!"
When Yue Qianqiu finished the last sentence in a fit of anger, he saw the twelve princesses show a surprised expression, and then the corners of their mouths slowly hooked, and the arc was clearly a smile. At this time, he realized that he was so angry that he directly broke it, and he knew her hellish intentions.
Before he could try to remedy it, he only heard Xiao Jingxian cough lightly.
"I agree with most of what Qianqiu just said, but there is one thing you might as well rest assured. As long as Concubine Hui doesn't do stupid things, the emperor won't do anything to Xiao Twelve because she ran away. The emperor hates to have children who make their own decisions and fight for power and profit, but if these children are stupid for a while, he can forgive them. Besides, Xiao Twelve is here to find you, even if the emperor sees this, he will open his eyes. ”
Xiao Jingxian's tone, Yue Qianqiu was very unhappy when he heard it. What does it mean to come to him and open the net? For today's Beiyan, even if it is not on the bounty list, it is definitely not a good reputation, right?
And the twelfth princess was fed by Xiao Jingxian's reassuring pill, and she was immediately overjoyed: "What Uncle Jin said is true!" I said to the outside world that I came to settle accounts with you, and my father will not do anything to my mother for the sake of me that I may be able to bring you back! ”
