Chapter 185: Sowing Discord
In the Heart Cultivation Palace, Yun Rongjue and Xiao Qijin discussed what happened tonight.
"Your Majesty, what's going on with the Khan of Mongolia?" Yun Huang asked.
When such a thing happens, the most worrying thing is the attitude of the Mongolian Khan. This time, they came to see each other, and they also came with the intention of living in peace and friendship with Da Liang, but now in Chang'an, such a thing has happened.
"He has been here just now, it is inevitable to be angry and angry, I promised him that I would deal with this matter and give them an explanation for Mengguo," Yun Rongjue finished speaking, and turned his eyes to look at Yuan Jing and Xiao Qijin, "You were there when the incident happened, but what do you think, who could those people be?" ”
"There are not many people on the other side, but they are all masked and black-clothed, and the incident happened suddenly and there was chaos, and it is difficult to say who the other party is." Yuan Jing said.
Yun Rongjue's eyes sank slightly.
"Could it be Mo Cang, or, the people of Chizhou?" Yun Huang guessed.
There is not much difference between the national strength of Mocang Chizhou and Da Liang, and they have always been eyeing Da Liang.
Yun Rongjue was silent for a moment, and after a moment, he slowly spoke: "I don't rule out the possibility, but it's not likely, if Mo Cang and Chi Zhou intend to attack, they won't just be a few people, and their goal has always been the entire Great Liang, even if they want to do it, they will choose the best time." ”
Several people's thoughts are full of speculation.
"I have already told the Imperial History of the City Patrol that I must find out, and you should go back first, and discuss it tomorrow."
Yun Huang and Yuan Jing bowed their heads and left after bowing.
Xiao Qijin didn't leave, and after the two left, he handed the things to Yun Rongjue, "This was picked up by Weichen, it should have been accidentally dropped by those people." ”
Yun Rongjue took it and looked at it, his peaceful eyes suddenly sank, and he slowly raised his head and looked at Xiao Qijin.
"Them?"
"This thing, it's theirs, but...... Whether tonight's incident was really what they did, Weichen felt that it still needs to be investigated. ”
Yun Rongjue stroked the bronze medal in his hand, and his eyes were slightly dark.
……
After the assassination of Gu Liangying, the atmosphere in the palace was obviously much more solemn, and Yun Rongjue was getting more and more busy and couldn't be empty.
"Princess, what are you looking for?"
Gu Liangying rummaged through things, and the palace maid looked at it, wanting to help, but she didn't know how to help.
Gu Liangying didn't respond, rummaging by herself, and after a while, she found a small porcelain bottle, she sighed softly, "Found it!" It's a great medicine. She said as she walked out of the palace. The palace maid hurriedly followed.
"Princess, where are you going?"
"Do you know where Lord Xiao is?" Gu Liangying asked.
The palace maid shook her head, "The slave doesn't know." ”
Gu Liangying frowned, and suddenly, thinking of something, the pace under his feet accelerated.
Gu Liangying came to the Spirit Dance Palace.
"Jiang Wu, I have something to ask you."
Jiang Wu saw Gu Liangying in a hurry, and thought something had happened, "What's wrong with the princess, did something happen?" ”
"Do you know where Lord Xiao lives?" Gu Liangying asked directly.
Jiang Wu was stunned for a moment, but she didn't expect Gu Liangying to ask her this, "The princess has something to do with Lord Xiao?" ”
Gu Liangying nodded, "No, Lord Xiao was injured last night in order to protect me, I am not an ungrateful person, I want to see him, and by the way, I will get him some medicine." ”
Jiang Wu nodded clearly, "Lord Xiao lives in the back of the South Courtyard, and if the princess wants to give medicine to the adult, she can let someone go over." ”
"That's not going to work, I'll have to see for myself that he's protecting my injuries."
After Gu Liangying finished speaking, he left in a hurry without waiting for Jiang Wu to say anything more.
Behind the South Courtyard, Gu Liangying went over, inquired a little more, and found where Xiao Qijin lived.
"Princess."
The guards saw that it was Gu Liangying and hurriedly saluted, "I don't know if the princess is coming, what's the matter?" ”
"Is Lord Xiao here? I'm looking for Lord Xiao! ”
"Lord Xiao is inside, princess ......"
Before the doorkeeper finished speaking, Gu Liangying had already run in.
"Princess!"
Xiao Qijin heard the movement outside, he looked at the little guy next to him, "What's the matter?" The little guy shook his head, "I don't know." ”
Xiao Qijin got up, and when he walked to the door, he saw a figure of wind and fire, and the two almost collided.
"Lord Xiao! I've found you! ”
"The princess hurriedly came to find Xiao, but what do you have to order?" Xiao Qijin asked.
"It's hot outside, let's go inside!" Gu Liangying was not polite to Xiao Qijin, and walked straight inside.
Xiao Qijin smiled helplessly and followed in.
"Princess's tea." The servant served the tea.
"If the princess commands me, please speak." Xiao Qijin said.
"I don't have any orders! It's just to come and see Lord Xiao, oh, this is medicine for Lord Xiao! This medicine is good, it is a special ointment made by our Mongolian country, which is very helpful for wound healing and recovery! ”
"The princess has a heart, Xiao already has medicine." He said.
"I'll look at your injuries."
Gu Liangying stretched out his hand and pulled Xiao Qijin's hand over.
The little guy next to Xiao Qijin is a spirit.
"Why don't you bandage this wound?" Gu Liangying looked at Xiao Qijin's hand.
"A little injury, it's not a big deal." Xiao Qijin said.
Gu Liangying looked serious, "How can it be a small injury, it's all bleeding, is there gauze?" ”
The little guy nodded hurriedly, "Yes, let's get the little one!" ”
After a while, the little maid brought gauze, and Gu Liangying took it and was about to bandage Xiao Qijin.
"Princess, Xiao's injury is not in the way, but I don't bother the princess." Xiao Qijin instinctively wanted to retract his hand.
"Lord Xiao doesn't have to be so polite to Ah Ying! How to say, Lord Xiao was injured in order to save Ah Ying, his father Khan has taught Ah Ying since he was a child, and he must know how to repay him! ”
Gu Liangying looked serious, she lowered her head, and gently wiped the medicine for Xiao Qijin.
"Okay, Lord Xiao should pay attention these days, and the medicine should be wiped on time!" After Gu Liangying finished speaking, he handed the medicine to the little guy on the side, "Remember to rub the medicine on time for adults every day." ”
The little guy took it and responded again and again.
Gu Liangying stood up, "Then I won't disturb the adults!" ”
"Princess, walk slowly."
Xiao Qijin sent Gu Liangying out of the door, and after watching her walk away, he withdrew his gaze, his eyes fell, his eyes touched the somewhat crooked gauze tied on the back of his hand, and he smiled helplessly.
"Master, this princess of Mongolia is quite kind, and she specially sent this ointment over, and bandaged it herself, master, this princess is not ...... to you"
The little girl's words slowly stopped as Xiao Qijin's eyes came.
————
In the Heart Cultivation Palace, there were a lot of folds in front of Yun Rongjue.
Jiang Wu walked in.
"My sister is here."
Yun Rongjue saw Jiang Wu, and the tiredness on his face dissipated a little.
"Your Majesty, is there any beauty in the princess's assassination?" She asked with concern.
Yun Rongjue motioned for her to come closer, and she walked over to him.
"I'll show you something."
Yun Rongjue said as he took out the things and handed them to Jiang Wu.
Jiang Wu took it, and after taking a closer look, he was stunned, "Your Majesty...... It's ......"
This is the token of the Fire Yi Clan.
"Isn't this Huoyi's token?" She said.
"This is what Xiao Qijin picked up last night."
Jiang Wu was even more stunned, the two looked at each other, she hesitated to speak, "Does the emperor think that last night's incident is...... What did Huo Yi people do? ”
"This token belongs to the Huoyi people, and it is very likely that it is them, but ......"
Jiang Wu looked at him seriously and listened to him: "The Huoyi tribe has reconciled with our Da Liang, Da Liang gave them a rich reward, and they also promised to come down and coexist peacefully with Da Liang. ”
Jiang Wu nodded and looked down at the token in his hand, "If Song Deng and the others are dissatisfied, they should not attack the princess of Mengguo." ”
"Your Majesty, what are you going to do about this matter? Are you going to find Song Deng? She asked. Let's read a book
Yun Rongjue did not speak. Seeing this, Jiang Wu didn't ask any more questions.
After another two days, Jiang Wu rarely saw Yun Rongjue in the past two days, and later heard from the palace people that the matter seemed to be resolved.
And as for what happened in it, she didn't know.
She was sleeping soundly that night, and suddenly, she heard a small movement, she opened her eyes and got up, and was just about to get out of bed, when suddenly she saw the tall figure.
Through the moonlight and the starry candlelight in the hall, Jiang Wu saw clearly, "Your Majesty." ”
Yun Rongjue sat down beside her and took off her shoes and socks, "Why did the emperor come here at this hour?" ”
He was busy in the past two days, so she didn't go to the Heart Cultivation Palace, and she was always in her Spirit Dance Palace.
Yun Rongjue sighed, and stretched out his big palm to take her into his arms, "I'm tired." ”
Jiang Wu leaned on the man's arms, she raised her head, her gaze touched his smooth and handsome jaw, and went up, he was tightly closed, but there was a visibly tired look between her eyebrows.
He must have been exhausted by the Assassins.
Jiang Wu pulled the corner of the quilt, nestled in his arms, and closed his eyes.
The next day, Yun Rongjue rarely got up late.
Jiang Wu changed his clothes for him, and asked, "Is the emperor going to the Heart Cultivation Palace for a while?" ”
Yun Rongjue sighed lightly and said slowly: "Today, I can accompany my sister in peace." ”
Jiang Wu weileng, "Your Majesty, the princess was assassinated......"
"It's settled." Yun Rongjue said.
Jiang Wu was surprised, and a little happy, "Really? She couldn't help but ask, "What about that......?" Does this have anything to do with Song Deng? ”
Yun Rongjue smiled and said nothing, and didn't talk to her in detail.
What I only told her was that there were many external forces to sow discord in this matter, in order to sow discord between Da Liang and Mongolia.
Jiang Wu listened and nodded.
If you sow discord, this move is really powerful.
After the two said this, they chatted a few more words.
"Your Majesty, how long will they stay in Chang'an?" She asked.
Yun Rongjue suddenly smiled, and Jiang Wu tilted his little head and looked at him puzzled.
"Sister, do you know what the Khan of Mongolia is here for?"
Jiang Wu shook his head.
Yun Rongjue walked to the edge of the circle chair and sat down, Jiang Wu handed him the tea bowl brought by the palace maid, "The Khan of Mengguo came this time, on the one hand, to consolidate the relationship with Da Liang and carry out some transactions between you and me, but more importantly, to choose a son-in-law. ”
"Choosing a son-in-law?!" Jiang Wu was stunned, and for a moment he relaxed, "Could it be...... Choosing a husband for the princess? ”
Yun Rongjue chuckled lightly.
"The little princess is the treasure of the palm of the Khan of Mengguo, and the Khan of Mengguo is bound to choose a good son-in-law for her and be satisfied, this matter of the Khan of Mengguo and I have said, and I also hope that I will help to lin, if Da Liang has a man who is both civil and military, and has excellent conduct, and will become a princess."
Jiang Wu nodded clearly.
……
When the Khan of Mengguo wanted to choose a son-in-law for the little princess, Yun Rongjue handed over part of the matter to Jiang Sumo and asked him to help find a son-in-law.
After Jiang Sumo learned about it, he discussed it with Yun Rongjue and the little princess, thinking that in the name of the banquet, the little princess would meet the princes and nobles who had not yet become married.
After Jiang Sumo arranged everything about the banquet, Gu Liangying put forward his own ideas and requirements.
Jiang Sumo listened, his eyebrows furrowed, and he was a little puzzled.
"Why did the princess do this?"
Gu Liangying raised her eyebrows, "Queen Mother, Ah Ying has her own plans, can you agree?" ”
Jiang Sumo smiled slightly, nodded and agreed.
Yun Rongjue told her to take care of Gu Liangying, how dare she slack off.
Jiang Sumo arranged the banquet, and on the day of the banquet, Jiang Wu was pulled over by Gu Liangying.
"Princess, the hour is almost up, we can get over." Zhang Ruo reminded.
Gu Liangying shook his head, "Don't worry, it's going to take a while." ”
Jiang Sumo and Zhang Ruo looked at each other, and no one could figure out what medicine was sold in Gu Liangying's gourd.
Several princes and princes arranged by Jiang Sumo sat down one by one, and several people talked, waiting for Jiang Sumo and them.
Jiang Sumo and the others watched and waited in the apse, for about a quarter of an hour, Gu Liangying had no intention of going out, Zhang Ruo was a little anxious and impatient, and was about to say something, but Jiang Sumo shook his head. She pursed her lips and could only continue to wait.
At the table, several sons talked happily. The palace maids served the meals, pastries and drinks prepared in the dining room in an orderly manner.
The green-shirted boy sitting on the left side was about to pick up the wine glass in his hand, and with a flick of his big hand, the palace maid waiting on the side happened to be pouring wine, and was caught off guard, and the wine was spilled out and splashed all over the table.
"Huh! What's going on! How are you waiting for this palace person! The man in the green shirt scolded. The little palace maid panicked, "The slave should die, the slave should die!" She hurriedly took out a towel to wipe the man, but she panicked and knocked down the high-legged plate in her hand, and the snacks were scattered everywhere.
"Slaves should be damned!"
"Bastard thing! How do you serve! You can't do this little thing! ”
"Smack!"
The man grabbed the palace maid's clothes, raised his hand and gave the palace maid a slap.
In the apse, Jiang Wu couldn't help frowning tightly when he looked at this scene, this man's temper was too irritable.
Jiang Sumo and Zhang Ruo obviously didn't expect such a scene to happen.
The desolation in the front hall lasted for a while, and the officials outside hurriedly walked in when they heard the sound, and after a few words of persuasion, they led the little palace maid who made a mistake away.
"What a bad luck!" The man in the green shirt stretched out his arms and sat back down.
"Li Gongzi don't want to be angry with a little palace girl, the princess of Mengguo will come out in a while, let's deal with it well, Li Gongzi, you are talented, the princess is afraid that she will fall in love with you at first sight."
The man in the green shirt breathed slowly, his face showing arrogance.
"Princess, let's go out." Jiang Sumo reminded.
Gu Liangying nodded, and then said, "Queen Mother, Mrs. Zhang, you go over first, I want to relieve my hands, and I will go over in a while." ”
Jiang Sumo listened, "The princess has an upset stomach?" Do you want to send the imperial doctor to see? ”
Gu Liangying shook her head again and again, "It's okay, just go and relieve this princess, Jiang Wu, you accompany me," she looked at Jiang Sumo after she finished speaking, "Trouble the queen and Mrs. Zhang to help Ah Ying deal with it first, Ah Ying will come back soon!" ”
After Gu Liangying finished speaking, without waiting for Jiang Sumo and the others to react, he pulled Jiang Wu and left.
Jiang Wu followed Gu Liangying and left, "Princess, you're not ......"
Jiang Wu was pulled to a place by Gu Liangying, and at this time, the maid next to Gu Liangying came over and handed Gu Liangying a box of things.
I saw Gu Liangying holding this box of things that I don't know what it was, so he smeared it on his face.
"Princess!" Jiang Wu was excited, and hurriedly pressed her, "What is the princess doing?" ”
"You'll find out in a moment!" Gu Liangying winked at her.
Jiang Wu watched Gu Liangying rubbing things on her face, her beautiful face, which was smeared one by one under her eyes, looked a little dirty and scary.
"Princess, you are going to attend the banquet in a moment, how can your face be like this?" Jiang Wu couldn't help but say.
Gu Liangying looked at the small mirror held by the maid, smiled with satisfaction, and then tilted her head towards Jiang Wu, "Do I look ugly now?" ”
Jiang Wu: "......" she nodded, "Princess, ...... you?"
Gu Liangying patted off the powder ash in his hand, and pursed his pink lips, "This princess wants to choose a good son-in-law, but the husband that this princess is looking for is not a dragon and phoenix, but it must not be a bad character, or a straw bag!" ”
"What happened on the table just now, you also saw it, you see, those people, if there is a little thing, they are angry, and they don't treat the people below as people, they beat and scold them for a little thing, the palace maid just now didn't mean it, just reprimand a few words, the man in the green shirt is so violent, this princess doesn't want such a husband."
Jiang Wu opened her lips slightly, knowing what Gu Liangying meant, "The princess wants to test them?" ”
Gu Liangying raised her eyebrows, "That's right, it was a test just now, I'm this," she pointed to her face, "I'm another test!" ”
"Those people know that I am the princess of Mengguo, and they will not say anything good to me, but I don't want them to flatter me against their will!"
Jiang Wu smiled in a low voice, admiring Gu Liangying's eccentricity.
After Gu Liangying finished speaking, he turned his head to the maid beside him and said, "You also hurry up and change your clothes, wipe your face, and after a while, you will go over, you know?" ”
"The slave understands."
Jiang Wu blinked, and was a little stunned for a while.
On the table, Jiang Sumo and Zhang Ruo dealt with these sons.
After a while, Jiang Wu walked in, followed by a masked woman.
"Jiang Jieyu, this is ......" Jiang Sumo's eyebrows frowned slightly, and he was a little puzzled.
"Jiang Jieyu'an."
A few people got up and saluted Jiang Wu, Jiang Wu smiled lightly at everyone, and then said to Jiang Sumo: "Queen Mother, forgive the concubine for making her own opinion, this is You'er next to the concubine, You'er is old, although You'er has not served the concubine for a long time, but he has been very dedicated, so the emperor also promised the concubine to let the concubine choose a suitable husband for You'er, and then let You'er go out of the palace to get married." ”
The concubine thought that today's banquet was just right, so she brought You'er over, so that You'er could talk and get acquainted with the sons.
