"If you want the poor nun to tell the secret in her heart, the princess must promise to do something for the poor nun to do it." In a clean room in the courtyard of the abbot of Wanshanni Temple, Mrs. Xinyi faced Xiao E, the princess of Jin, who came to persuade her to defect to the court and confess everything, and calmly put forward a condition.

"Mrs. Shi, please speak." Xiao Er personally held a bowl of tea for Xinyi and said with a smile.

"The poor nun knows her sins, and she can't escape the curse of heaven in this life, I hope that the little girl Lichen can return to the original place of Jiangzuo poor nun as soon as possible, marry and have children in peace, and spend her life peacefully, so as long as the court agrees to release Chen and Sima Luo to return to Jiangzuo, the poor nun can tell the princess everything I know about the 'wild goose's nest'." Xinyi took the tea bowl, put it on the several cases beside him, looked at Xiao E, and said calmly.

"But I don't know what everything Shitai said, what does it mean?" Xiao Er asked smartly.

"For example, Guan Zizai's real name and disguised identity in Chang'an City." Xin replied lightly.

"What Mrs. Shi said is very important, can you promise me to invite King Jin here, you can mention it to him in person." Xiao E's heart jumped when he heard this, and he tried his best to ask for his heart's opinion with excitement.

Xinyi nodded silently.

Xiao E immediately went to the abbot's main hall in person and relayed what he said to Yang Guang word for word.

Yang Guang immediately returned to the clean room with Xiao E to see his heart. The two met, and there was no more half-sentence of politeness, Yang Guang went straight to the point as soon as he opened his mouth, and asked his heart: "What Mrs. Shi just said, is it really true?" Do you really know who Guan Zizai is? ”

"Believe it or not, but it depends on the prince's judgment." Yang Guang was so anxious that he became unhurried, picked up the tea bowl with his hand, took a sip of tea, and replied calmly.

"Sima Luo and Lichen are no longer in the temple now? Did the master entrust them to Guan Zizi and take the two out of the temple? Yang Guang realized that he was acting too urgently, so he had an idea and asked knowingly.

"Why does the prince bother to tempt me? I knew that the two of them were still staying in the Sui realm, and as long as the prince agreed, he would be able to manage to send her back to Jiangzuo, so I proposed an exchange to the princess. He replied to Yang Guang with dissatisfaction.

Yang Guang said with a straight face: "As Mrs. Shi expected, Sima Luo and Lichen are indeed still in the territory of the Great Sui. It's just that Sima Luo is the queen of the previous dynasty, and her father Sima is now in a high position in Nanchen, so this king really can't promise Shi Tai to let her go to Nanchen. ”

"What about the dust? As long as she is allowed to go back to Jiangzuo's poor nun's hometown, the poor nun will never disappoint the prince. Listening to Yang Guang's resolute attitude, he took the initiative to make concessions and no longer insisted on letting Sima Luo return to Nanchen.

"Even if this king agrees to return to Jiangzuo after releasing the dust, I'm afraid it won't be a matter of one or two days, does the master plan to wait until then to tell this king everything, I'm afraid it's too late." Yang Guang continued to force his mind to make concessions.

"'Mei's Tomb Ceremony', don't you already know about it?" To Yang Guang's surprise, Xinyi only asked coldly.

Could it be that the "Mei's Tomb Ceremony" is a stronghold of a "goose's nest" that was intentionally revealed to the imperial court? Yang Guang became more and more confused about what Xinyi did.

"What does Shitai mean is that by following the clue of 'Mei's Tomb Ceremony', you can find Guan Zizai?" He looked intently at his mind and asked suspiciously.

"In this way, Poor Ni knows that Sima Luo and Lichen are now in the hands of the prince, but I don't know how long it will take to leave the Sui realm and return to Jiangzuo if they let go of the dust?" Xinyi met Yang Guang's gaze and asked rhetorically.

"About two or three days." Yang Guang hesitated, but still replied truthfully.

"Then the princess of Lao Jin will stay and accompany the poor nun to live in this clean room for two or three days, in these two or three days, the poor nun will calmly tell the princess everything the prince wants to know, but only after the poor nun gets the exact information sent back by the dust from Jiang Zuo, will she tell the prince what he wants to know most about Guan Zizai's situation, I don't know if the prince is willing to agree to such conditions?"

"Jiangzuo is thousands of miles away from Chang'an, even if Lichen returns to Jiangzuo within two or three days, I'm afraid it will be difficult to send back the news quickly, I'm worried about ......" Yang Guang replied while thinking about whether to agree to the conditions proposed by Xia Xin.

"Since the prince just said that he could send the dust back to Jiangzuo within two or three days, then the poor nun would have a way to know her exact whereabouts on the day she returned to Jiangzuo." Seeing that Yang Guang was still hesitant, he simply explained to him, "The prince is about to lead the army to defeat Chen, haven't you heard that my Jiangzuo Gu clan is famous for domesticating carrier pigeons?" As long as the dust returns to Jiangzuo, the poor nuns will be able to get the news in Chang'an within a day. ”

Yang Guang suddenly heard the statement that he was about to unify the army to defeat Chen from his heart's mouth, and his heart flashed, so he asked: "Since Mrs. Shi knows that the imperial court is about to raise troops to attack Chen, why did she send her own daughter back to Jiangzuo, isn't she worried about her safety in Jiangzuo?" ”

Xinyi smiled faintly and replied, "I don't have to worry about this matter." Poor Ni believes that the Great Sui Ping Chen will not sweep away the Jiangzuo people, Lichen is different from Sima Luo, just an ordinary folk woman, and Poor Ni thinks that the war between the two countries will not have much impact on her. ”

Although this answer was still not enough to dispel Yang Guang's doubts about her insistence on sending her own daughter back to Jiangzuo, the quid pro quo she proposed was too tempting for him, so he couldn't help but feel unmoved, and after a little thought, he looked back at Xiao E, wanting to hear her opinion.

Xiao E understood what Yang Guang was thinking, and said to him with a smile: "Please go back to the palace and tell Chi Shao and Luluo to take care of the two children, and the concubine will stay in the temple to accompany the master." ”

Yang Guang had another layer of worry, for fear that Xiao Er would be hurt by his mind if he stayed alone in the temple with his heart, so when he was undecided, he listened to his heart and smiled: "If the prince is not at ease, he can order the soldiers to guard the door day and night, as long as the poor nun is unfavorable to the princess, he can kill the poor nun, how about it?" ”

was broken by her words, and Yang Guang was no longer inconvenient to worry too much, so he had to nod and agree to her.

"Mrs. Shi, you and I are limited to three days, I order General Li Hun to lead the elite soldiers of the hussar battalion to protect you here, in case Nan Chen Xizuo is unfavorable to you again, and you and the princess and the princess can calmly talk about the truth of the matter in this clean room. But, three days later, if there is a letter from Jiang Zuo, you have to tell everything as promised, how about it? ”

"Please rest assured, the poor nun is by no means a faithless person." Xinyi stood up and replied with his palms folded.
