When Jiang Xiaoyu woke up in the morning, she found that Zhao Ling was not by her side, she raised her eyes and took a look, only to see him standing by the window, looking at the sky outside, his back looked quite dignified.

She got up, walked up to him, and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"It's fine!" Zhao Ling shook his head gently.

Since she came back yesterday, Zhao Ling has never asked Zhao Yan what she was looking for to go out for, and she wasn't sure if her thoughts were correct, so she didn't say that looking at him now, he was worried about what happened last night.

"I'm with the second prince...... I actually found out that Maihime was abnormal, but I didn't choose to say it at the time, I was just holding on to it! Jiang Xiaoyu looked at the sky outside and said lightly.

"Your Majesty will really be assassinated?" A brief look of astonishment flashed in Zhao Ling's eyes, "Xiaoyu, for the incident ten years ago, the people you hate in your heart are not only Qi Siyuan and the eldest grandson family, but also Your Majesty, right?" Perhaps the person you hate the most is Your Majesty, right? ”

Jiang Xiaoyu bit his lip and said, "Shouldn't you hate him?" Qi Siyuan said that he extinguished the Bai family army before His Majesty was sure that the Bai family had conclusive evidence of rebellion, he was actually just following His Majesty's orders, and the Changsun family just figured out his mind and did what he wanted to do for him, but he couldn't do it due to some pressure, if what I want to deal with is only the Changsun family, then what we are doing now is just figuring out His Majesty's thoughts, what is the difference between what we do and what the Changsun family did to the Bai family more than ten years ago? ”

She paused and continued: "I'm just getting more and more unwilling, I originally wanted revenge, but step by step I became a tool used by His Majesty, and it is clear that he should be responsible for what happened ten years ago!" ”

"Xiaoyu, do you understand your uncle's thoughts?" Zhao Ling was silent for a moment, turned his head to look at Jiang Xiaoyu's resolute and stubborn side face and asked, "Uncle returned to Beijing with his illness in mind, the purpose is not to make the Great Zhou fall into chaos and make the people of the Great Zhou miserable, he just wants to get back a clean slate for the first prince of the Bai family, can you really understand his will?" Remember what you used to say to the Cardinals in the North? The Bai family guards the Great Zhou and guards the peace of the people of the Great Zhou, do you really inherit the thoughts of the Bai family? ”

"I understand, I understand the truth!" Jiang Xiaoyu said a little irritably, "I'm just unwilling...... is unwilling to be a person who deceives the world and steals fame, but in the end it is a bright and magnificent life in the history books! ”

"As an emperor, weighing and knowing is not as simple as you think, as a courtier, how to make the monarch not doubt his loyalty is a matter of learning, this question, for thousands of years, there has never been a correct answer!" Zhao Ling paused and said, "Father told me such a thing, in the twenty years of this dynasty, in that year, your grandfather defeated the dog Rong and annihilated nearly 100,000 enemies. ”

"I've heard my uncle say that this is his proudest battle, and he went to the head of Prince Inurong with his own hands!" Jiang Xiaoyu said, "And everyone didn't seem to be very optimistic about this station at the beginning, it was the prince who let the Bai family send troops after the public opinion, and finally won the victory!" ”

"However, after this time, while the reputation of the Bai family army and the former prince is more prosperous, it has also encountered a lot of criticism, the most important of which is that the Bai family army sent troops not to the holy will, but to the will of the sixteen-year-old prince, although in terms of the final result, it is extremely successful, so that the dog Rong will be difficult to become a climate in the next ten years, and the Bai family army is famous all over the world, the first prince's wise decision is the wisdom of the heavens is also a matter of opinion." Zhao Ling said, "A sixteen-year-old prince who has won the hearts of the people, a general who does not respect the holy will, but obeys the orders of the prince, although they are loyal to the monarch and defend the country in their hearts, and there is no rebellion, but in the eyes of His Majesty, in the eyes of hundreds of officials, they have no rebellious heart, they do have the strength to rebel, they have no way to travel through time to see whether they will continue to be loyal to their ministers in the future, what they have to do is to prevent it from happening!" ”

"Are you speaking for Your Majesty?" Jiang Xiaoyu asked.

"I'm just telling you the facts, as a descendant of the Bai family, you have your position, but whether it is Your Majesty or the hundred officials or even the Queen Mother, they also have their positions, and the different positions look at the problem in different ways, my uncle can understand this problem, so what he wants is justice, if you can see it clearly, maybe you won't be so depressed!" Zhao Ling took Jiang Xiaoyu's shoulder, "Xiaoyu, I hope you can be happier, we are husband and wife, we are comrades-in-arms who fight side by side, I will never stand on the opposite side of you, I also hope you can believe in me!" ”

"What you said, the second prince also told me!" Jiang Xiaoyu said, "An emperor, if he doesn't have a heart of forgiveness and compassion, he is always suspicious of the people around him, and he is calculating all the time, what he does may be for the world, but in the end it is just for his own power, and he loses his public heart for selfishness, I don't know if I should respect this emperor!" Zhao Ling remembers your words today, and hopes that one day you will not regret it! ”

While the two were talking, a little eunuch came to report that the third prince was out of danger and had no worries about his life.

Jiang Xiaoyu sighed leisurely, there was nothing to be happy about, and there was nothing to be disappointed about.

And for those who have been paying attention to the injuries of the third prince, they can finally rest assured and sleep peacefully.

The eldest princess and Princess Xiuwen, a pair of sisters, live in the same room, and there have been very few times when they have been so close since they got married, but now they can't compare to when they were girls, although they sleep in the same bed and talk about some interesting things when they were young, they still have some secrets and reservations between each other.

After dawn, the two got up very early, and the two of them had lingering palpitations about what happened last night, and they didn't sleep much in the end, knowing that the news that the third prince had turned the corner, the eldest princess breathed a sigh of relief, patted her chest and said: "Amitabha, Bodhisattva bless, the third child is finally fine!" ”

Princess Xiuwen drank a cup of tea and said lightly: "Look at your happiness, I thought it was your own son!" ”

"What's the difference between this nephew and a son? You have to be happy if something happens to him? The eldest princess glared at Princess Xiuwen, "It's okay now, it's finally fine, I'm worried about it this night!" ”

Princess Xiuwen raised the corners of her mouth lightly and said with a smile: "Aren't you worried about the future of the eldest grandson's family, eldest sister?" If something really happened to the third child, the position of the second prince would be nine times out of ten, and the eldest grandson's family would have been on the side of the third child, and the second child would have been offended a long time ago! ”

"All the same, he's safe, and he's good for us!" The eldest princess said, "But then again, this second child's heart is too ruthless, and he actually did such a thing, the third child is his sibling no matter what, for the position of this prince, but he doesn't care about family affection at all!" ”

"Do you think the second child did it?" Princess Xiuwen said with a surprised face, "I thought you did it, seeing that the third child is at a disadvantage, so you will pull the second child into the water!" ”

"Don't talk nonsense, this murder of the prince is a capital crime, didn't you see the danger of the situation last night? If the third child makes a slight mistake, there will be no one left, and the price is inevitably too great! The eldest princess said, "This has the courage to do this, and has this condition to do it, who else can it be if it is not the second child?" Don't forget, this banquet was all organized by the second princess! ”

Princess Xiuwen thought for a while and said, "Then let me ask you, did you arrange the assassination last night?" You said that this was also done by the second child, I absolutely can't believe it, with the second child's temperament, he will never do this thing of killing the king and killing his father! ”

"It wasn't the second child who did it, why did we do it? This is a murderer, who has the courage to kill the nine clans! The eldest princess hurriedly said, "We don't dare to think about this kind of thing, besides, what are those assassins shouting to avenge the Bai family, you also heard it, in my opinion, this matter may have something to do with Jiang Xiaoyu!" ”

As she spoke, she walked to Princess Xiuwen's side and whispered, "I heard that Bai Siyuan not only did not die, but also returned to the capital, maybe he planned this matter!" ”

"Really?" Princess Xiuwen raised her eyebrows and asked, "Sister Emperor, you have to let me stand with you, don't you have something to hide from me, it's best to discuss with me if there is anything, otherwise something will happen and implicate me, it will be too wrong!" ”

"When did I hide it from you? You are my own sister, will I still harm you? The eldest princess smiled coldly, "Wait!" Bai Siyuan must have been caught, and the truth will definitely be revealed by then! ”

The next day, Emperor Zhou's early dynasty was not delayed because of last night's incident, and on the second day, Baiguan knew that such a serious thing had happened in the palace.

Because of the assassin's words to avenge the Bai family, Emperor Zhou ordered the city defense army in the capital to search for the remnants of the Bai family in the capital.

And except for the third prince's cultivation accident in the palace, the others have gone home one after another, except for the second prince and his wife, who were placed under house arrest in the palace to cooperate with the investigation of the Imperial Forest Army, there seems to be no special impact on other people.

The events of the Mid-Autumn Festival night have passed, and it seems that all the hearts of people understand that the assassination that has been poisoned will not pass so quickly, and the aftermath does not know how long and far it will spread.

And what worries Jiang Xiaoyu the most is that Liu Ruli was left in the palace on the grounds that he needed to regulate the body of the third prince.
