Chapter 26: Chaos
Murong Xing's face was even thinner than before, carefully pondering everything before and Deputy Chief Manager He's words. Before he spoke again, he cleared his throat, "He Neixiang." The descendants of Mr. Shuilong predicted to the first emperor that the death date on April 27, do you know this? ”
Of course, Deputy Chief Manager He knows about this. Speaking of which, he proposed to follow Yu Wenxing to "supervise the army", but in fact, he also had selfish intentions to avoid suspicion. Even so, the people he arranged before leaving were all in place and reliable. Emperor Xian was in good health, and he thought nothing would happen. If you want to harm each other by external forces, it is unlikely that forcible assassination will be achieved, and poisoning can only be through the people around you, and these roads, Deputy Chief He thinks are almost all blocked.
However, no one dares to say such a thing as "completely blocked". "In case there is a what-if", he still left the capital to ensure that there was no suspicion.
Deputy Chief Manager He called "child," wiped his tears, and looked at Murong Xing's face, the demonic face of the Murong family that has been passed down from generation to generation, "What do you mean?" ”
The subordinate means that the day of the death of the first emperor is in line with the prophecy. Our eldest son doesn't believe in that. He believes that Mr. Shuilong and his descendants do have some numbers, truths and truths, but such a detailed prophecy, specific to which person will die on which day, must have been deliberately manipulated by someone to make the reality come true, and then continue to use the power of the so-called prophecy to benefit themselves. Therefore, what you said is that the only people who can pour tea and water for the emperor are the princes and princesses, and this is just one of them. The prince and the princess know that the day of April 27 is the second. If one or the other is satisfied, it is the murderer. ”
King Hui and others took the initiative to actively use the prophecy of the so-called "dragon chanting everywhere the moon shines on flowers", while the prince and others actively used the prophecy of "three dragons will die this year". Murong Xing actually already had a guess in his heart, and Deputy Chief He's words added to this guess, "After passing through the secret room of the first emperor, the only one who knows this secret is His Majesty the new emperor." ”
Deputy Chief Manager He called a few of his closest apprentices over one by one and asked them who had been close to the emperor's diet and daily life on April 27. The memories of these little apprentices are all the same: "Only the first emperor loves the most three princesses." ”
Murong Xing left the royal temple and fell into extreme anxiety and hesitation.
"So what?" I was about to walk to Princess Yanyang's Mansion. Murong Xing had already stopped his horse and decided not to move forward, Dugu was in a hurry, "You can leave after you finish speaking!" ”
But Murong Xing did not respond to his request, but arched his hand to Qin Xian and disappeared. There are people coming and going on the street, and there are boats in the canal next to it, and Duguzheng is not good. Qin Xian smiled as if he had eaten honey, "I can tell you about it." You can beg me a little bit, and that's all. ”
Dugu Zheng had no choice but to bow his face, and then got off the horse and went to the roadside store to buy tea conscientiously, and waited for Qin Xian, who was riding on a horse, to drink it on the street, and only then did he know the later story.
Qin Xian told him that because of the alternation of the old and the new, the guards in the palace were extremely strict, and Murong Xing had to take the risk of finding someone to help Wen Yisheng.
He was an official of the Chengguo Rite Department who was deliberately left in Datong by Hou Cong. The family is all in Pingdu, just under Hou Cong's sword.
As an official of the Ministry of Rites of Chengguo, he had to enter the palace to attend various ceremonies of mourning and mourning. So he put Murong Xing in the cage where he changed clothes and carried him into the palace.
Qin Xian finished drinking tea and continued to beat his horse and walk, Dugu was following him closely, "Captain Murong has seen the third princess of your country. It was confirmed that the third princess had indeed offered snacks to the first emperor of your country at the behest of her brother, and until Captain Murong went to question, she did not have the slightest suspicion. The funeral was busy, and the brother and sister only met in person, but they didn't really meet, and they never talked about this. Captain Murong determined this, so he had to be a matchmaker temporarily. ”
"Huh? Matchmaking? What's the same thing? Dugu was stunned.
Qin Xian liked his stupid appearance very much, "The third princess is pregnant, you Yuwen Lieutenant." ”
"This-" Dugu is thinking of the past when he and Bai Yi laughed together in Changfu that day, as if they were in another world.
"It's said that it's not particularly obvious now, but once it's exposed. Your master, the Hou family, connived at his subordinates to obscene the princess, and this crime was implemented. It's just that this princess is inseparable from the death of the first emperor, in other words, your new emperor can press the Hou family and all your families to death more truthfully. If such a big crime is hung out, and the whole world is outraged, and if you are killed again, you will be famous, and you will no longer be persecuting the former emperor's former ministers, then what is the little soldier of General Yuwen outside. If he really wants to make trouble, who will support him and sympathize with him? ”
Qin Xian didn't tell Dugu Zheng how lonely Murong Xing, who had just come out of the cage not long ago, how much he missed Hou Cong and everyone, and how much he hoped that someone would have an idea. But because of that unspeakable reason, he left the team, and he couldn't go to Hou Chong to discuss with his family.
Therefore, Murong Xing knelt down to meet the third princess, "I beg Your Highness to find a reliable person to marry as soon as possible for the sake of the face of Xiao Yuwen Gongzi or Xiao Yuwen girl in his belly." It's better to keep your child's business a secret. ”
"My father just died, how can there be such a reason!" The third princess was so anxious and painful that she couldn't cry.
"Testament, you are the last child you have ever seen before the first emperor, and you insist that the first emperor predicted the date of death, and told you to marry within three months before he died, which is the guarantee of the prosperity of the country. I don't know much about this kind of thing, so you might - you should ask King Hui. ”
The third princess seemed to understand in an instant, the brother of a mother and a sibling who was famous for being a "sister protector madman" used himself as a pawn, and at this time, King Hui, whose status was also extremely dangerous, could form an alliance. She agreed, ordered Murong Xing to "be a good errand", and watched him go out before she burst into tears.
Murong Xing re-entered the cage and heard Wen Yisheng and the third princess chatting lightly in the dark.
In the end, the third princess said, "For the rest of my life, if Lord Wen is by my side, I will feel at ease." ”
Wen Yisheng's answer was: "My subordinates are willing to accompany His Highness to see the lake in Yuexuan." ”
Dugu Zheng was silent for a while, and sighed before speaking, "There is no other way." I don't know if the sky will be sad. What about Ah Xing and you? ”
"Oh, well," Qin Xian said, "you Captain Murong have traveled thousands of miles to rush here, and you don't dare to see General Xiaohou, trying to find an opportunity to get close to you, and you have failed repeatedly. Because of my secret observation, I almost thought that he was a bad guy and wanted to do something wrong. I didn't know him or not, and I talked a lot. In fact, what I don't worry about is the white clothes, although she can be put on death row, she can be saved from death, but death row is not safe. Therefore, Captain Murong watched the movements over there day and night near the death row to protect Bai Yi. I'm telling you, it's not me who knocked you out, it's your Ah Xing. If you break in, or injure or kill someone, that's a big problem. ”
Dugu Zheng was not interested in asking this, he stared at Qin Xian, "Aren't you wholeheartedly protecting your Royal Highness the King of Yangxian?" If we don't die in white, how can your master live? ”
Qin Xian sneered, "A gentleman should be above board. Those who are virtuous win the world. I defend His Royal Highness to be loyal to the first emperor, and to maintain the white clothes is to repay the kindness. If His Royal Highness is the kind of person who lets a girl die in exchange for his own life, what if he becomes the emperor? It is another thing for a minister to sacrifice for the king, and for a man to die for his ministers, and for a king to let his ministers die. ”
Dugu Zheng also sneered, not wanting to continue such a profound and headache topic in his eyes, "Then are you that kind of person?" The kind that likes men? Why are you staring at me every day? ”
Qin Xian smiled instead, "Do you wish I am, or do you wish I wasn't?" ”
Dugu Zheng didn't have time to answer, just a hundred zhang away from Princess Yanyang's mansion, he was startled by Yuan who ran over crying.
