Chapter 372: Whose Distrust
Thinking of the past events she learned when she was a teenager, the eldest princess didn't know what to think in her heart, and finally shook her head.
Qingluan and Huofeng glanced at each other, but didn't say anything.
The eldest princess smiled slowly, and said lightly, "Now, Liu Jieyu can get out of the cold palace and reunite with her son, all thanks to the power of this palace." You know, at the beginning, if it wasn't for the fact that Bengong Weifu paid a private visit to Ningzhou and gave advice to my good nephew, where would he be where he is today? Not to mention ......"
Speaking of this, the eldest princess smiled extremely coldly, and said with a slight sneer, "This time, if it wasn't for the palace to bring him into the capital together, how could he take Liu Jieyu out of the deep palace unknowingly on that day? In the end, King Ning's mother and son owe a great favor to the palace! That Liu Meiren has always been a grateful person, and it shouldn't be wrong to think about the news she sent." ”
"But after all, she is the emperor's concubine......" Huofeng was still not at ease, and considered it, "Princess, you say, this time, will it be the emperor's game for us?"
The emperor and the eldest princess did not discuss the planning of the Tongzhou Battalion Mutiny from beginning to end. What the two sides relied on was nothing more than a tacit distraction.
"Playing a game?" the eldest princess smiled again, and said coldly, "Huofeng, you probably don't know yet, right? This time, among the people who the good imperial brother of the palace bought in the Tongzhou camp, in fact...... There are also people from Hongu. ”
Was it a game within a game?
Huo Feng swallowed the words behind him and bowed his head silently.
The eldest princess smiled very proudly, "Huofeng, you go to the Tongzhou camp again, take this, and go to see ......" she said with a face, while taking out a small jade pendant from her arms, and ordered, "After seeing that person, first confirm with him the time when the emperor will move, and then you will order Zhang Qian and the others to let our people cooperate with them." ”
"No. Huofeng took the jade pendant and carefully stuffed it into his arms.
The eldest princess was not at ease, and ordered again, "Tonight, you don't show up." In addition, you tell Zhang Qian and the others to be careful. Our people, don't take the initiative, just cooperate with the emperor's people. After only bringing the Tongzhou camp to chaos, let them take advantage of the chaos to take their respective deployments and go to the Xishan First Line Sky Canyon to assemble...... As for the mess in the camp, let the good royal brother of the academy and the main palace toss it. Hongu ...... I'm not interested in continuing to play with them. ”
"My subordinates saved. Huo Feng bowed solemnly again.
The eldest princess waved her hand and said indifferently, "Okay, it's not early, you go down and prepare first." ”
Huo Feng saluted, but before leaving, he glanced at his companion Qingluan.
Qingluan stood still and did not move.
After the eldest princess waited for Huofeng to leave, she looked up at him quietly.
Qingluan still didn't move, but the hand hidden in the wide-sleeved robe clenched slightly.
"Qingluan," the eldest princess sighed, "Do you think this palace is a little selfish?"
Her voice had always been cold and slightly sarcastic, but at this moment, this voice seemed to carry infinite killing intent in Qingluan's ears.
On Qingluan's forehead, a trace of sweat gradually oozed out.
"The subordinates don't dare. The subordinates just feel ......" Qingluan lowered his head and said in a low voice, "The subordinates just feel that once the 100,000 troops of the Tongzhou battalion mutinied, it would be countless casualties...... They are all soldiers of the empire...... subordinates, there is no patience. ”
In the end, Qingluan forced himself to look up at his master.
The eldest princess sighed in a low voice. "Qingluan, this palace also knows that your father also died in that army mutiny, right?"
In that year, his father died and his brother had just succeeded to the throne...... On the side of the imperial military, naturally there were many soldiers who mutinied...... That turmoil was not over until President Chen entered Beijing and calmed the capital with one punch.
And Qingluan's father died in that mutiny and was one of the soldiers.
Qingluan lowered his head.
At that time, too many people died in that mutiny, and too many orphans like him.
He was lucky, he was fortunate to be taken by the eldest princess, and he took him with him personally, and he had no worries about food and clothing since then. Although he has suffered a lot over the years, he finally survived.
However, what about the little friends who lived on the streets with him back then, and what about the guys who grabbed their heads and bleed for a piece of cold hard steamed buns?
Qingluan didn't dare to imagine their end.
Born in troubled times, he ...... If you are powerless, you can't help them!
The eldest princess slowly walked up to him and slowly hooked his chin.
"Qingluan, have you ever complained about this palace over the years?" she asked, her eyes unusually calm.
"The subordinates don't dare. Qingluan didn't want to think about it, so he denied it, "Without Her Royal Highness the Princess, his subordinates would have starved to death in the ruined temple on the outskirts of Beijing, and there would be no Qingluan in this world." What's more, over the years, the princess has invited famous teachers for her subordinates, and she has carefully ** all kinds of subordinates, so well-intentioned, her subordinates are grateful. ”
"Princess," Qingluan knelt down, "Your kindness to your subordinates for reinvention is unforgettable. ”
"That's good. The eldest princess smiled faintly, turned around and said, "Get up." ”
Qingluan kowtowed and got up silently.
The eldest princess looked at the remnant sun that was gradually falling into the horizon outside the window, and said softly, "Qingluan, there is an important matter in this palace now, which I want to leave to you to do." ”
"According to the princess's orders alone, the subordinates will never give up. Qingluan knelt down again and solemnly promised.
The eldest princess looked back at him and commanded seemingly casually, "This palace wants you to follow Huofeng secretly, and if you find anything wrong with him, you will be executed on the spot immediately." ”
When Qingluan heard this, she suddenly looked up at the eldest princess, her face full of disbelief.
The princess is suspicious of the fire phoenix, and moreover, she wants to kill the fire phoenix herself?
What the hell is going on?
For a while, Qingluan only heard his heartbeat like thunder, and his eyes were full of shock.
"Don't look at Hongu like that. The eldest princess smiled faintly and wrote lightly, "This palace is just doing this...... Just in case. For the fire phoenix, this palace still trusts it. It's just that that kid is different from you, back then...... In the end, he was sent to the palace by the Qingyi Academy. Now, this palace has to be guarded against doing this......"
When Qingluan heard this, she was even more surprised in her heart.
He and Huofeng have known each other for more than ten years, and they can be said to have grown up together, but they never knew that the other party was the person sent to the eldest princess by Qingyi Academy......
The eldest princess didn't mention this matter, and Huofeng herself didn't mention it...... What does this mean?
Is it that the eldest princess doesn't trust him, or does Huofeng not trust him?
Qingluan lowered his head, not daring to think deeply.
