Chapter 502: Concealment

Reunited with the mother and daughter of the eldest princess of An, and finally persuaded the county lord of Guanghua to go back together, which can be regarded as the ending of a happy reunion, at the moment Princess Pingyang immediately helped the county lord of Guanghua to pack up his things, in fact, there is nothing to clean up, because the life of the county lord of Guanghua here is very poor, and there is nothing else in the room except for bedding and a few clothes. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

However, the county lord of Guanghua still carefully packed up his things, took away what he could take, and gave it to the two senior sisters if he couldn't take it away, and the eldest princess of Tong'an was also very generous, not only let people give the two female Taoist priests some property, but also promised to rebuild the Taoist temple, which also made the two female Taoist priests very happy, after all, the conditions on the mountain are indeed a little difficult, if the Taoist temple can be rebuilt, the road up the mountain will definitely be repaired, so that it will be more convenient for them to go up and down the mountain in the future.

At that moment, the county lord of Guanghua and the eldest princess of Tong'an got into the carriage together, and Princess Pingyang also entered the carriage to talk to their mother and daughter, Li Xiu was embarrassed to squeeze in, so he could only ride a horse and walk by the carriage, and he could hear the conversation of the three people inside through the window.

"Huining, how did you escape from the chaos in Jiangdu at the beginning?" I only heard the eldest princess of Tong'an ask in a concerned voice, at the beginning of the Jiangdu Rebellion, Yang Guang also died in the hands of the rebels, and there was not even a coffin after death, or was made into a small coffin by Queen Xiao with a bed board, and then buried hastily, what's worse, Queen Xiao and these people later went to Turkic, so now no one knows where Yang Guang's body was buried in Jiangdu?

Hearing my mother mention the rebellion in Jiangdu, the county lord of Guanghua in the carriage couldn't help but sigh lightly, and after a while, he whispered: "When the Jiangdu coup d'Γ©tat, the entire Jiangdu Palace was in chaos, I thought I was going to die, but I didn't expect to meet a team of guards loyal to Your Majesty, and it was they who escorted me out of Jiangdu, so I escaped, but the rebels did not give up the pursuit of us, and later in a flight, I was separated from those people." ”

When I said this, I saw the county lord of Guanghua pause, and then he continued: "Later, I was alone, and I was afraid of encountering a chaotic army, so I turned into a beggar and begged all the way, because I had no food, and finally starved and fainted in the barren mountains, fortunately I was rescued by the master who went out to travel, and also accepted me as a disciple, and finally I returned to Yishui Temple here in Luoyang with the master, and has lived until now!" ”

Halfway through the words of the county lord of Guanghua, the cry of the eldest princess of Tong'an had already sounded in the carriage, after all, the mother and daughter were heart-to-heart, and when they heard that their daughter had escaped from the chaotic army and became a beggar, and was starved and fainted in the barren mountain, if it wasn't for her master's rescue, I'm afraid she would have been buried in the barren mountain by now.

However, Li Xiu outside the carriage was more suspicious when he heard this, although he did not experience the Jiangdu Rebellion, but he also knew that the exact name of the Jiangdu Rebellion should be Jiangdu Mutiny, mainly because most of the troops brought by Yang Guang were the children of Guanzhong, and Yang Guang stayed in Jiangdu and did not want to return to Chang'an, these people were homesick, coupled with the chaos in the world, which led to the rebellion of the middle and lower generals, it can be said that this rebellion was very smooth, because there were not many troops willing to follow Yang Guang to resist.

Since the Jiangdu mutiny went so smoothly, it is said that in just one night, the rebels controlled the situation in Jiangdu, and the county lord of Guanghua, as one of Yang Guang's concubines, must be difficult to contact outsiders in ordinary times, in such a chaotic situation, how could he easily trust a team of guards, and escape under their protection?

Not to mention anything else, there must be other more important people around Yang Guang, such as his son, grandson, and even that Empress Xiao, whose identity is more important than that of Guanghua County, no matter how you look at it, it shouldn't be the turn of such a small concubine as the Guanghua County Lord.

Li Xiu was suspicious in his heart, and he began to listen carefully to the conversation in the carriage with his ears sideways, but then the eldest princess of Tong'an was probably afraid of reminding her daughter of those unpleasant memories from the past, so she didn't ask about the original incident again, after all, for her mother, the important thing is that her daughter finally escaped and is still alive, which is enough, as for the rest, it doesn't matter at all!

By the time the carriage returned to Luoyang, it had been nearly two watches, and the city gate had already been closed, but with Li Xiu's identity, it was naturally very easy to open the city gate, and then return to the palace, but at this time, the eldest princess of Tong'an did not sleep at all, but held her daughter's hand and talked non-stop, and Princess Pingyang asked people to prepare a dinner, and then she and Li Xiu accompanied their mother and daughter to eat and chat, but at this time they were still talking about some family affairs and gossip.

It was also at the dinner party that the county lord of Guanghua knew that Princess Pingyang already had a son, which made her very happy, she wanted to see her little nephew, but she didn't expect Jin'er to sleep early, which made her a little regretful, so she could only talk to Princess Pingyang about some interesting things in the past, until the third watch, the dinner party ended.

Li Xiu had already ordered someone to arrange a place for the county lord of Guanghua, but the eldest princess of Tong'an pulled her daughter and refused to let go, it seemed that their mother and daughter would definitely have a good chat tonight, so Li Xiu and Princess Pingyang also said goodbye after the dinner, leaving space for their mother and daughter to be alone.

"Husband......

"Xiuning ......"

As soon as they left, Princess Pingyang and Li Xiu spoke almost at the same time, and then the two looked at each other, each understood each other's thoughts, and couldn't help but laugh dumbly at the moment, and after a while, Li Xiu spoke again: "It seems that Xiuning you have also found out, our cousin doesn't seem to be telling the truth!" ”

"Yes, on the carriage, I suspected that my cousin was hiding something, and even suspected that she was pretending to be someone else, but just now I talked to my cousin about some interesting things from my childhood, which only the two of us know, so she must be my cousin, but with what I know about my cousin, she shouldn't hide something from us in this kind of thing?" Princess Pingyang also whispered with a puzzled face at this time.

Although Princess Pingyang and the county lord of Guanghua are cousins, they have grown up together since childhood, and their feelings are similar to that of sisters, and they almost talk about everything with each other, and even some things she doesn't want to say to the eldest princess of Tong'an, but she is willing to say it to her cousin, but today she obviously feels that her cousin deliberately hid something from herself, especially when she entered the palace just now, she also deliberately chatted with the county lord of Guanghua alone, but the other party did not open up to her.

"The identity of the county lord of Guanghua is indeed a bit special, and your sisters have not seen each other for so many years, so it is understandable that they are hiding some things from you, and I want to ask, did the county lord of Guanghua have children in the first place?" Li Xiu suddenly spoke at this time.

Just now, Li Xiu had been thinking about the fact that the county lord of Guanghua had escaped from the Jiangdu Rebellion, with her identity, it should not be enough for the guards around Yang Guang to protect him, unless there was a more important person by her side, such as Yang Guang's son, so he wanted to ask if the county lord of Guanghua had a son?

"Nope!" To Li Xiu's disappointment, Princess Pingyang shook her head when she heard this, but then said, "My cousin has not been in the palace for a long time, and she is not favored, so she did not give birth to a son for Yang Guang, but she has a daughter!" ”

"Daughter?" Li Xiu couldn't help but glance at Princess Pingyang in surprise when he heard this, and then asked puzzledly, "Since the county lord of Guanghua has a daughter, why didn't you ask the eldest princess about it just now?" ”

"How confused is my husband, at the beginning of the Jiangdu Rebellion, almost all of Yang Guang's children and grandchildren suffered misfortune, and it was very rare for my cousin to escape, and she never mentioned her daughter, so my aunt and I don't have to guess to know, I'm afraid that this daughter has also suffered misfortune among the enemy army, so we didn't mention it very tacitly, so as not to make my cousin sad!"

Li Xiu was stunned for a moment when he heard Princess Pingyang's answer, and then couldn't help but admire the woman's carefulness, indeed, if the daughter of the county lord of Guanghua was still alive, she would definitely be taken by her side, but since he saw the other party, the county lord of Guanghua has never mentioned his daughter at all, which means that the other party is no longer in the world.

However, when thinking of the above, Li Xiu suddenly fell into distress again, the county lord of Guanghua only has a daughter, that is, the princess of the former Sui, but with the traditional concept of the Central Plains, the status of the daughter cannot be compared with the son at all, for example, Yang Guang's most famous daughter is the Yang concubine who was included in the harem by Li Shimin.

In addition, I heard that there is also a princess of Nanyang, who fell out with her husband Yu Wenshi after the Sui Dynasty was destroyed, and also became a female Taoist priest, Li Shimin was not embarrassed at all, so it can be seen that even if the daughter of the county lord of Guanghua is still alive, there is no need to worry about her safety.

But in this way, there is no reason why the county lord of Guanghua can escape from Jiangdu under the protection of the guards, which makes Li Xiu can't help but have a headache, and he can't understand the reason after thinking about it? On the contrary, although Princess Pingyang was also very confused, she believed in her cousin, so she put it down after a while.

However, Li Xiu always felt that the county lord of Guanghua seemed to be hiding something very important, so that night, he also couldn't sleep in bed over and over again, until the dawn of the next day, he fell asleep in a daze, and when he opened his eyes again, it was already sunny outside, but looking at today's appearance, it must have disappointed Li Shimin, who was looking forward to the rain.

Princess Pingyang has gone to talk to the mother and daughter of the county lord of Guanghua, and even Jin'er was hugged by her, Li Xiu had breakfast under Yuechan's service, and wanted to go to Yiniang, but was told by Yuechan that the steward here in Luoyang had sent the accounts today, so she and Yiniang had to check the accounts today, and I am afraid that I would not have time to accompany Li Xiu.

Seeing that Yi Niang was not available, Li Xiu simply hugged Ping Anlang, planning to visit this Luoyang Palace, but when he passed by the palace where the eldest princess of Tong'an lived, he suddenly had an idea, maybe there is a way to figure out the reason why the county lord of Guanghua was able to escape from Jiangdu in the first place?
