Chapter 69: Honesty and Honesty
After lunch, everyone was ready to leave for the mountain, and the group descended the stone steps and got into the carriage.
The sun outside was shining, Jiang Xiaoyu was sleeping crookedly in the car, and Yan Yan was also leaning on the window to nap, when the curtain of the car was suddenly opened, and Zhao Ling entered.
Jiang Xiaoyu raised his eyelids and glanced at him, ignored it, and continued to rest.
Yan Yan smiled and said: "Shizi, Miss hasn't slept all night, and now she is very sleepy, what is there to do in Shizi, why don't you wait until Miss wakes up!" ”
"Yanyan, you go to Yueyue to play for a while, I have something to tell your young lady!" Zhao Ling said.
Yan Yan glanced at Jiang Xiaoyu and asked her opinion, seeing that she nodded, her eyes rolled around the two of them, and smiled: "Yes!" ”
Yan Yan happily got out of the car to find Yueyue, leaving the space in the car for the two of them.
Jiang Xiaoyu adjusted his sitting posture, didn't look at him, and said lightly: "Is there something?" ”
"Are you still angry with me?" Zhao Ling grinned and grabbed Jiang Xiaoyu's hand, "Can't you forgive me once?" ”
Jiang Xiaoyu took his hand back expressionlessly, and said lightly: "What kind of person am I angry about, what is there to be angry about!" Something to talk about! ”
"Of course I'm here to apologize to you, but in the morning I was so small that I misunderstood you!" Zhao Ling lowered his eyes and thought for a while and said, "This is just one of them, the second is Ruyan's matter, I owe her sister a favor, I once promised to take care of Ruyan for her, Ruyan doesn't want to stay in the Yangliu Pavilion anymore, I just allow her a place to stay, you and I have a marriage contract, I won't fail you!" ”
Jiang Xiaoyu remembered that night Ruyan once told herself that her sister had an irreplaceable position in Zhao Ling's heart. She wanted to know the story between Zhao Ling and that woman, but she was afraid to know that in the past ten years, there was a gap between them that she couldn't get into.
"These little things, why do you have to explain to me, you are a dignified son, do you still need my consent to accept a few servants around you?" Jiang Xiaoyu said lightly, "It's just that since you and I will be husband and wife in the future, I will make it clear to you today that I don't like Ruyan." If you want to keep her by your side, I don't object, but it is inevitable that you will have more contact in the future, my Jiang Xiaoyu is not a generous person, if you bully her, you just have to take care of it! ”
"I've got something in mind about this!" Zhao Ling smiled, and grabbed Jiang Xiaoyu's hand again, "Seeing that you are jealous, I am happy in my heart!" ”
"Who's jealous!" Jiang Xiaoyu's face flushed, "Don't talk nonsense!" ”
"Why be embarrassed, I'm not jealous of you!" Zhao Ling said very frankly, "The second prince is right, if there is any misunderstanding, you still need to explain it in person, you and I have made an appointment, and if there is anything unpleasant in my heart in the future, just say it to my face, don't hold it in your heart and make unpleasant trouble!" ”
Jiang Xiaoyu looked at Zhao Ling's eyes, his amber eyes were full of tenderness and sincerity, making her slightly distracted, could the gap in the past ten years really not exist? Can the two little guesses in childhood really continue? Even if he is not a lover, will there be a place of his own in his heart?
"What I just said is a private matter between you and me, I'll talk to you now!" Zhao Ling said.
Jiang Xiaoyu retracted his thoughts, his eyes rolled, he thought for a while and said, "You want to talk about the White Tiger?" ”
"I can't hide anything from you!" Zhao Ling lowered his eyes, and a dark color flashed on his face, "Since ancient times, they have all been dangerous and abnormal, although Your Majesty is prosperous in the Spring and Autumn Period, no one can say for sure what will happen in the future, since the second child was recalled from the border pass, the battle between the second child and the third child has never stopped, the position between the hunter and the prey has changed in an instant, and now, no one has a chance to lay down their weapons, and this time the third child is really moving!" ”
"Ancient books, the white tiger is now, the troubled times are pouring, the holy monarch is out, and this white tiger happened to be bumped into by the second prince, Your Majesty is very suspicious, if someone is stirring up trouble from it, even if the second highness has no intention of rebellion, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no situation like the abolished prince! Three people become tigers, and the scary thing is not the tiger, but the rumors that are more ferocious than the tiger! Jiang Xiaoyu smiled mockingly, "The flesh and blood of imperial power, born in the royal family, is the original sin!" ”
Zhao Ling glanced at Jiang Xiaoyu deeply, sighed slightly, and said: "At that time, the second prince and I both thought of that situation, so we were desperate to hunt the tiger and find out the strangeness, so we pursued it all the way and finally captured it, and fortunately we captured it to find some of the mysteries, if it was allowed to escape, the rumors would naturally spread like a flood beast!" ”
"What's suspicious?"
"That white tiger looks like a tiger from a distance, but when you look closely, it is very strange, and its eyes are very prominent!"
Jiang Xiaoyu thought for a while and said, "My master once mentioned to me that if two tigers are inbred, there may be a white tiger!" ”
"You don't say much, I'm guessing this possibility!" Zhao Ling said, "This matter only needs to be explained clearly to Your Majesty, and then corroborated by it, and the White Tiger theory can be dispelled." But what's even more strange is not this, Canghao Mountain is a royal palace, although it is almost the prime minister's private residence, except for the West Mountain, there will be people patrolling the mountain every day, how can there be no suspicious signs at all? It can only be said that this white tiger was only recently sent to Canghao Mountain, and it was calculated that the time when the second prince came to Cangyun Villa! ”
Zhao Ling paused and continued: "And the second prince came to Cangyun Villa because I temporarily mentioned it to His Majesty......"
"You mean, there are spies around the second prince who leaked his whereabouts?" Jiang Xiaoyu frowned and said.
"Not bad!" Zhao Ling said, "The top priority is to find out this person!" ”
"Lin Xuan has long been dissatisfied with the fact that the prime minister is taking other people's lives as a matter of renewing his life, otherwise, with his style of acting, he should not let you, at least the second prince come to Cangyun Villa, with the temperament of the second prince, knowing this matter, he will not ignore it!" Jiang Xiaoyu said.
Lin Xuan ...... He's a good guy! Zhao Ling leaned on the cushion and hooked the corners of his mouth shallowly, "I often say that right and wrong in this world are especially easy to distinguish, and I often defend myself, we people, in our eyes, are so right and wrong, there are only pros and cons, how can a good or bad be distinguished!" However, Lin Xuan is different from us, he is cold on the outside but fiery on the inside, he is a good person! ”
"If you talk to me about the secrets of the royal family, I will tell you one thing too!" Jiang Xiaoyu thought for a while and said, "That man in Xishan, do you know what I want to live?" ”
"Speaking of which, that person is a hard bone, my person has asked for a long time, and he won't even reveal his name, if you want to get more clues from him, I'm afraid it's difficult!"
"My grandfather, accused of rebellion, Your Majesty was also suspicious at the beginning, but my grandfather's henchman, who is also my grandfather's righteous son, General Yuwen entered Beijing overnight to report the news, and my grandfather had a rebellion, and then committed suicide, so His Majesty secretly ordered General Qi to kill him, and I still don't think that my grandfather really has the intention of rebellion, and I don't think that Uncle Yuwen, who is deeply trusted by my grandfather, will frame my grandfather!"
Jiang Xiaoyu continued, "After I figured out the things of the year one by one, this matter bothered me for a long time, and then Master told me that there is a kind of Gu that can control people for a short time, but the person who needs to raise the Gu has very superb skills. He has traveled to many places over the years, but he has not found a master who can use Gu worms, this time the appearance of the corpse eater Gu reminds me of that Gu cultivation master, I don't know if it will be related to him! ”
After Jiang Xiaoyu finished speaking, she found that Zhao Ling was looking at her quietly, she bit her lip, her eyes gradually turned red, and asked in a deep voice: "Zhao Ling, you should have been clear about my purpose from the beginning, I want to overturn the case for my grandfather, it may bring me great danger, but I don't care, if you choose to be with me, this danger may come to you." I want you to say a word accurately, do you believe that my grandfather was wronged! ”
Zhao Ling still looked at Jiang Xiaoyu quietly, his lips were tightly pursed, and he said after a long time: "If the old general is framed, then the matter of the first prince is also strange, if you insist on investigating, maybe it will shake the country's foundation, have you thought about it?" ”
"I don't care, I can't take care of it, my grandfather is wronged, the prince is wronged, are they carrying these sins in vain and being spurned for? There are traitors in the DPRK and cruelty to the loyal and good, who is really shaking the country's foundation? Jiang Xiaoyu said bitterly, "I know that I am just a little woman, it is difficult to climb to the sky if I want to do this, and I may fall into hell at any time and never turn over, I will be arrogant, I will not be able to do anything about myself, not how powerful I feel, nor how tough my background is, I am just gambling, betting that I couldn't die ten years ago, so I won't die now, betting on His Majesty's mind, this is my real backer!" ”
"I don't want your help, no, I'm just using your status as a royal prince to seek some kind of capital for myself, I know that this matter can't involve you, you and the second prince will lose both, if you really have a relationship with the first prince, it will be extremely unfavorable to the second prince, since you just said that there should be something to say between us, then I should tell you all my thoughts!" Jiang Xiaoyu lowered his eyes and said, "I am an extremely dangerous existence myself, I don't want to lie to you!" ”
"Your faith, I have no right to ask you to give it up, even if it is for the second prince, but I don't want to give up on you, your danger, I already knew about it as early as that day when I agreed to your marriage!" Zhao Ling said, his eyes shining with determination, "Although it is difficult to have both things, I will try my best to come up with a comprehensive solution!" ”
The carriage continued to walk, shaking slightly, and there was a sudden silence between the two of them.
"Oh no, Shizi!" Outside the carriage, Zhao Ling's subordinates hurriedly said.
"What's going on?" Zhao Ling hurriedly lifted the curtain and asked.
"The man we captured in Canghao Mountain, he's dead!"
"What!" Jiang Xiaoyu was startled, hurriedly got out of the carriage, and ran towards the prisoner cart at the rear.
Before he could get closer, he smelled a smell of blood spreading in the air, and in the prisoner's car, the man had already died with a pale face and a twisted twist in pain, his stomach was broken, all his internal organs were flowing out, and countless insects were wriggling inside.
The people who escorted the prisoner car were all resolute people selected by Zhao Ling, and they couldn't help but vomit when they saw this.
"Broken Gut Gu!" Jiang Xiaoyu muttered with a snow-white face, "If you raise the Gu worm in the body of a living person, it sleeps like nothing on weekdays, but once it is activated, it will come out through the intestines!" ”
She immediately turned around and asked sharply, "Who has approached the prisoner car just now?" ”
