Chapter Fifty-Six: Qin Lou Hides the Dragon
"Back to His Royal Highness, yesterday's subordinates pretended to affirm that it was a false move to return to the palace in front of the Queen Mother, but in fact, they wanted to steal beams and change pillars to replace His Highness." Sima Cheng replied.
"Oh? How I don't know. Xue was about to reach for the teacup.
"The day before entering the temple, my subordinates saw that His Royal Highness was already uncertain, and they were afraid that the adults would be overly worried, so the subordinates made the decision with Lord Shen and arranged this plan."
"Is someone staying at the White Horse Temple for me now?" Yi Xue asked.
"Exactly, that person will return to the palace with the Queen Mother on behalf of His Royal Highness in the future." Sima Cheng replied.
"Aren't you afraid of being discovered?" Yi Xue sounded a little confused, in broad daylight, it was clear, how could he Sima Cheng hide from the world.
"Who does Your Highness think will find out?" Sima Cheng asked.
Sima Cheng's sudden rhetorical question made Yi Xue have to reconsider, in fact, this answer is about to come out, it is nothing more than the Empress Dowager Xun and those palace people, but Yi Xue thought about it, if the Empress Dowager Xun didn't say it, those palace people should not dare to make any false remarks, if there were others, they would have to mention Sima Lie.
"Empress Dowager Xun and Prince Lie." Xue Xue replied.
Sima Cheng nodded and said: "As His Highness said, however, if Empress Dowager Xun finds that His Highness is abnormal, with her ability to live in the deep palace for a long time, she will not rashly point it out, she will secretly observe and wait for opportunities, and she is willing to stand on His Highness's side. ”
"What about Lord Lie?" Xue Xue asked.
"There is one key thing, that is, Prince Lie has never seen His Highness himself. If someone leaks the news, His Royal Highness's affairs are known to the Lie Prince, if he wants to act secretly, he will definitely not go out in person, so as long as he sends someone to think that person is you, it is enough, and the Queen Mother does not say anything, and the palace people dare not say anything. ”
Sima Cheng's words were convincing and reasonable, which convinced Yi Xue, but she still had a trace of doubts.
"Then who is this plan to steal beams and replace pillars, and who is the 'pillar'?" Yi Xue asked.
"Your Highness doesn't need to worry, he is a trustworthy person, this person's name is Sima Yun."
Sima Yun? He is of the same clan as Yi Xue, but he has not heard of it, saying:
"I don't have an impression of this person, is he the same as you, the son of an imperial uncle?"
"Your Highness, no."
Yi Xue thought that Sima Cheng would have a further explanation, but he didn't say anything, this person's surname was obviously Sima, if he wasn't the son of the emperor's uncle, was there any other possibility? Yi Xue was stunned for a moment, so she continued to ask:
"Then how did you find Yun Gongzi? How do you know that he won't have two hearts? ”
"I have a few encounters with Yun Gongzi when I was a child, after returning to Yizhou with the prince, Yun Gongzi also visited Yizhou and stayed in the palace for a few months, although I am not a brother and sister with him, but compared to other sons, it is close." Sima Cheng paused, and then said:
"As for compassion, his subordinates think that he has not had, nor does he now, and if he did, he should not help us with this. Although the subordinates kept saying that they would 'steal the beams and change the pillars' and 'the queen mother was silent', no one could guarantee that this plan would go as smoothly as they thought, and I don't know if the prince would be a good player. ”
Yi Xue bowed his head, Sima Cheng was right, in fact, the road back to the palace was the key to the whole plan, exposing himself in front of everyone in this way was undoubtedly taking himself as a target, whether it was for Yi Xue or Sima Yun, it was actually a big gamble.
Sima Cheng seemed to see Yi Xue's worries, and said:
"Your Highness doesn't need to worry, Yun Gongzi is known as 'Liu Yun' among the people, and no one knows his identity." Then, Sima Cheng added, and continued: "This is also where he lives. ”
In fact, Yi Xue is not only worried about this matter, but also confused about the relationship between Sima Yun and herself, but the royal relatives of the ancestors are already numerous, and the grievances and grievances between them are even more untidy and chaotic, and Yi Xue has no intention of understanding, but Sima Cheng's subsequent supplement really makes her unbelievable.
A royal son lives in a brothel?!
He ...... He...... Live here? Xue Xue's voice trembled a little.
"Exactly, Yun Gongzi has a rough life, and there are unspeakable secrets to live here, so let's stay here temporarily, as well as the Miss Yang we saw yesterday, are all arranged by him." Sima Cheng explained.
As soon as Sima Cheng said this, Yi Xue suddenly felt that the previous rouge gouache smell seemed to have an explanation, could it be that Sima Cheng was here to discuss the plan with Sima Yun that day?
And Sima Cheng brought her to this place of fireworks just because that Sima Yun often stayed here, so he misunderstood him, including the fact that he was stained with rouge and gouache before.
Yi Xue was speechless for a while, and her previous blunt tone softened, but she couldn't let her apologize to Sima Cheng, so Yi Xue muttered:
"Next time, I will ask Cheng Gongzi to explain the matter as soon as possible, and it is quite uncomfortable to suddenly bring me to this place."
"If your subordinates know your mistakes, please atone for your sins, and your subordinates are willing to accept punishment." Sima Cheng leaned over and kowtowed.
Yi Xue waved her hand, and was suddenly stunned, but with this slight movement, her blood and qi suddenly went up at this moment, her body was full of strength, and her body gradually warmed up, followed by some sleepiness, maybe she was warm and sleepy, but was the tonic effect of the chicken soup just now so obvious?
Yi Xue got up and stretched her waist, and said:
"Get up, and if you are punished, you will be punished for eating your share of food."
After speaking, he returned to the back room, and immediately fell asleep and helped Zhou Gong copy the book.
……
When the snow woke up again, it was already sunset, and after waking up, I felt relaxed and refreshed. She walked to the outhouse, pushed open the window, and found that the lights were already on outside, and there were bursts of bamboo sounds from the side of the door.
Yi Xue sat on the windowsill and looked into the distance. At this moment, the door opened, and when Yi Xue turned around, he saw Sima Cheng walking in, he bowed to Yi Xue, and Yi Xue nodded. looked over again, and found that Sima Cheng was followed by someone, eating food, and fixed his eyes, wouldn't it be Miss Yang last night.
At this time, she has already painted her eyebrows and eyes, Qiluo Fandel, and her smile is more amorous, which makes people's hearts ripple.
Yang Meiniang saw a white-clothed Xue sitting in front of the window casually, with a glance, her eyes were good, although her face was delicate, there was a heroic spirit between her eyebrows, and her wide sleeves swayed gently in the evening breeze, so she was a merry man.
Yang Meiniang's eyes showed starlight, and immediately bypassed Sima Cheng, put the things on the dining table and leaned towards Yi Xue, before Yi Xue could react, Yang Meiniang had already put one hand on Yi Xue's shoulder, and Jiaojiao said:
"Little boy, I didn't see it clearly last night, I didn't expect you to be better than Cheng Gongzi." Yang Meiniang raised her hand and picked up Yi Xue's chin with a slender finger, looking at Yi Xue with unfinished eyes.
