Chapter Fifty-Six: Men Can Be Flushed and Troublesome

Although the crown princess was assassinated in the prince's mansion, the inner city was still peaceful, just like when Xiao Zhan was attacked by assassins. Watermark Ad Test Watermark Ad Test

Lu Qing reported the news he had inquired to Xiao Zhan one by one, Xiao Zhan sat there and listened silently, and waited for him to finish before he said, "Is Mrs. Song hurt?" โ€œ

"If you go back to the prince's words, you will be unharmed."

"Well, you go down," Xiao Zhan waved his hand and asked Lu Qing to retreat.

Not long after Lu Qing left, there was a dull and suppressed coughing sound behind the screen, Xiao Zhan didn't look back, just after cooking the tea, he pushed a bowl and put it on the other side of the small table. "Master, how about you come and taste this tea?"

The man in black came out from behind the screen and sat on the chair, not touching the bowl of tea. Xiao Zhan didn't urge him, he took a sip of it and put it down again. He looked at the green tea inside, and said with some self-deprecation: "Don't taste it, this tea cooking is really a technical job." โ€œ

That time he went to the Song Mansion, he was fortunate to drink the tea soup cooked by Ah Jin, and his lips and teeth were fragrant. Since then, he has been full of curiosity about the skills of this deep woman. Now it seems that I really don't have the material to do such a thing.

"The master is going to the northwest, how is the harvest?" With that, he placed the obsidian bowl in his hand on the table.

The man in black frowned and shook his head silently. "It's a mess."

"How?"

"I seem to have seen Cai Wei, but I don't seem to have seen it," the man in black looked away, and the whole person was immersed in memories, "I squatted in that inn in the northwest for several days, and I really saw a woman with the same face as Cai Wei." At first, I concluded that this woman was Cai Wei, but she was just incognito. But II.II. She didn't seem to recognize who I was. โ€œ

"Maybe she's playing dumb on purpose. After all, she ruined the queen's business. violated the rules of the Star Picking Pavilion again, and he couldn't survive horizontally and vertically. She should also know this very well,", Xiao Zhan's words changed, and his words seemed to hide a sharp sword, taking someone's life at any time, "You killed her?" โ€œ

"No," the man in black shook his head, "I want to leave a trouble for the Zhu family, it's always a good thing." โ€œ

"Or. She's actually dressed up by someone from Tsutenkaku? Xiao Zhan lowered his head and thought about it, and kindly reminded him.

The man in black nodded and said, "It's indeed possible." I've been following that woman for a few days, but because of this possibility, I didn't make a moveII.II. can pretend to be another person to such a point, I'm afraid there are not many people in the Tongtian Pavilion who have such skills. Unless, the pretending person will have a thousand faces. โ€œ

"Thousand Faces II.II." Xiao Zhan's hand on his lap trembled slightly, "I remember Master, you once said that the only person in the world who can learn the Thousand Faces Technique is the Master of the Thousand Faces Hall of the Tongtian Pavilion and his descendants. โ€œ

"That's right, so if this woman is not Cai Wei, who lives in the world, she is a person from Thousand Faces Hall. At this time, it's better not to be tough. I've followed my previous plan and left some clues for them. Let's see how things play out after that. The man in black coughed a few more times.

Xiao Zhan looked at the appearance of the man in black, and suddenly said, "Master, do you have something to hide." Could it be that you have already fought with someone? โ€œ

"Nope." The man in black replied very calmly, so that Xiao Zhan couldn't find the slightest mistake.

Xiao Zhan looked at him for a long time and didn't get obsessed with this topic. "Do you know about the assassination of the crown princess?"

The man in black was obviously stunned for a moment when he heard Xiao Zhan's words. "My subordinates don't know."

"You don't know II.II. means that this assassin is not from II.II. in the Star Picking Pavilion," Xiao Zhan smiled a little as he thought, "Then this is interesting." If the queen is looking for a mermaid, who is the killer who raised it? I heard that this person is strong in martial arts, and even Xiao Shuo and Xiao Duo have joined forces. They all let him escape. โ€œ

"Perhaps, it's because the crown prince knows that the person was sent by the queen?"

Xiao Zhan thought for a while and said, "No." He still has some feelings for Meng Yidi. Otherwise, with his arrogant personality, how could he be at the mercy of the Zhu family. Even if the person who manipulated him was his real mother, he would not agree. This time, the assassin's target was Meng Yidi, and if he had known it from the beginning, he would definitely not have agreed. โ€œ

The man in black hung his head and stopped talking. Xiao Zhan sat there and pondered for a long time, trying to clarify this matter. Suddenly, he stood up and stretched. The man in black raised his head and looked at him and said, "What did the prince think?" โ€œ

"I'm thinking, when the news of the assassination of the crown princess is released. I'm going to the Song Mansion", Xiao Zhan looked back at him, looking in a good mood, "Since Ah Jin was frightened in the Prince's Mansion for no reason, I have to go and see it." โ€œ

The man in black looked at him helplessly. "But my lord, now the prince has sealed this news tightly."

"That's because he's going to confirm something. After this matter is confirmed, it is natural that someone will leak the news. โ€œ

The man in black looked at Xiao Zhan, and only felt that all the living beings in the inner city were all being played with by this young man in his twenties.

"Everything is ready, only the east wind is owed. I'm wondering how to open the situation, maybe this sudden Assassin is the east wind we've been waiting for for a long time. โ€œ

Xiao Zhan stood in the dimly lit room, standing with his hands in his hands. Sunlight shines through the latticework on the ground, cutting shadows into various shapes. Xiao Zhan stood in a place where the sun couldn't shine, looking down at the fragments of these shadows, and there seemed to be an undercurrent in his eyes.

โ…กโ…ก

On the second day after Meng Yidi's assassination, the crown prince Xiao Shuo hurriedly came to Jichang Palace.

Zhu Liangxin was not surprised to see him walk into his bedroom with a gloomy face.

"Mama Kong, let all the people in the palace stand down," she said, and got up and walked towards the Buddha hall that was in the inner room.

Seeing this, Xiao Shuo followed closely. The two came to the secret room one after the other, and Zhu Liangxin sat down first. "The emperor came to the palace today, is there something wrong?"

"Mother, you should know." Xiao Shuo replied to Zhu Liangxin's words with a cold face, and the overly cold tone made Zhu Liangxin's eyebrows frown.

She raised her head to look at Xiao Shuo and sneered. "That's what the doctors taught you? Let you treat your mother like this, treat the mother of a country like this? โ€œ

"Queen Mother," Xiao Shuo took a deep breath and said, "There are no outsiders right now, why do you bother to be here with your sons." If it weren't for the fact that you are my mother, I would have reported this matter directly to my father a long time ago, instead of suppressing it first and holding it back. โ€œ

Zhu Liangxin heard the threat in Xiao Shuo's words, and lowered his head a little displeased. "What are you going to ask?"

"Erchen just wants to ask the queen mother one word, whether the assassin who appeared in the son's mansion yesterday was sent by the queen mother."

Zhu Liangxin was silent for a moment and admitted cleanly. "Yes."

A trace of disgust flashed in Xiao Shuo's eyes, and the hand behind his back clenched slightly into a fist. "Is it the one who picks the Star Pavilion?"

"No,", Zhu Liangxin's expression was a little disdainful when he mentioned the Star Picking Pavilion, "They poked such a big basket before, how could I easily use their people again." โ€œ

This answer really surprised Xiao Shuo. Although the assassin that day was a woman, his skills were above him and Xiao Duo. Xiao Shuo thought about it. The expression was a little cloudy. "Mother, you didn't raise a group of dead soldiers in private."

Zhu Liangxin didn't say anything, just whispered a few words to Mama Kong, who had just walked in. After a while, Mama Kong went and returned, bringing in a delicate little palace maid. It's just that this little palace maid is too expressionless and looks like a lifeless statue.

Xiao Shuo just glanced at her, then took two steps back vigilantly. "Why did Mother still take this man with her?"

Zhu Liangxin couldn't help but sneer when he saw him so surprised. "What are you afraid of, this kid is very obedient. She did a good job in the affairs of the Prince's Mansion. โ€œ

After that, she waved her hand and asked Mama Kong to take the person down again. Xiao Shuo looked at his mother who raised him. Suddenly she felt very strange.

"How many things does the queen mother still hide from her sons?"

Zhu Liangxin looked at Xiao Zhan and said word by word: "This is the only one." โ€œ

After saying this, she stood up and walked towards Xiao Shuo. Her Shuo'er has unconsciously grown so tall and majestic, even if she wants to touch his face, she has to look up at him like this.

"Shuo'er, you just need to know that only the queen mother in this world will not harm you," Zhu Liangxin looked at Xiao Zhan stupidly, with a rare trace of tenderness in his eyes, "Everything the queen mother has done is also helping you." โ€œ

"Help me?" Xiao Shuo looked at Zhu Liangxin and asked softly, "The wife who assassinated the palace is also among the helpers?" โ€œ

At the mention of Meng Yidi, Zhu Liangxin's face turned cold, and he withdrew his hand in disgust. "That's a last resort. The person who picked up the Star Pavilion made a mistake before, so Luo Teng found out some clues. This palace made this decision in order to let the prince clear your suspicions. โ€œ

"That's all?"

Xiao Shuo squinted slightly, waiting for Zhu Liangxin's answer. He knew very well that his mother would only kill two birds with one stone.

"This is just one of the purposes, the other purpose is to try the depth of Shen's kung fu, but I didn't expect it. She didn't even make a move,", Zhu Liangxin said this, although he felt a little regretful in his heart, he didn't feel pity, "But this palace has already listened to Zhu'er's report, and the two little girls around her are not bad at kung fu." If you and Xiao Duo hadn't intervened at that time, she would have almost been able to test the kung fu of those two. โ€œ

Xiao Shuo sneered when he heard this. "Queen Mother, aren't you afraid that if they make a move, they will capture the bamboo in your mouth alive?"

"Don't be afraid," Zhu Liangxin smiled, such a smile made Xiao Shuo's heart cold, "If that's the case, she will definitely kill herself on the spot, leaving no trace." โ€œ

Xiao Shuo gritted his teeth and stared at Zhu Liangxin for a long time before he said slowly: "Mother, is your purpose really only these two?" โ€œ

Zhu Liangxin looked at his son's vow to get to the bottom of it, and hated Meng Yidi more and more in his heart. "There is one more, if you don't say it, I'm afraid you'll be sad."

Xiao Shuo closed his eyes, a little desperate. "You really still hate Ichikatsu."

"Yes, this palace just hates her," Zhu Liangxin was bored with this daughter-in-law, "I was planning to marry her, just to value the prestige of the Meng family." But what about her? Not only did he not be your virtuous helper, but he was also entangled with Song Wenyu. โ€œ

"Mother, where did you hear this gossip?" Xiao Shuo frowned, the incident mentioned by Zhu Liangxin was also a piece of his heart. Even so, he didn't want anyone to slander Meng Yidi like this.

He was married to her, and he was sure of it. He was her first man. It can be seen that those things are chasing after the wind. Although Meng Yidi and Song Wenyu are childhood sweethearts, they have been in love for many years, but they have never done anything beyond the norm.

It's just that II.II. After all, he is pleased with her, so he wants her person and heart.

"Gossip?" Zhu Liangxin looked at Xiao Shuo in surprise, as if he didn't expect him to defend a woman. "The connection between her and Song Wenyu is broken, haven't you seen it?"

"Ichikaki hasn't done what you said. She has always tried to be a good wife and daughter-in-law. โ€œ

"What's the use of that? You are going to ascend the throne as the emperor in the future, and what she wants to think about is how to be a good queen! Zhu Liangxin said sharply, seeing that Xiao Shuo was just looking at herself lightly, she suddenly felt a little powerless. Zhu'er told the palace that Xiao Yanagi was afraid that he wouldn't survive. After the slave and maid are dead, you will arrange Zhu'er to serve Meng Yidi. โ€œ

"What?" Xiao Shuo's eyes widened, he didn't expect Zhu Liangxin to have this plan. "You asked me to put such a person by Yidi's side, how can I rest assured?"

"She won't do anything to Meng. Unless, Montson is not good for you. Zhu Liangxin said as he waved his hand to Xiao Shuo and said, "Let's go, the palace is a little tired." This matter is decided for the time being. โ€œ

Xiao Shuo wanted to say something more, but seeing that Zhu Liangxin didn't want to talk to him about this matter, he had to choose to leave. "Son-in-law II.II. retires."

Xiao Shuo came back from the palace full of worry, and as soon as he entered the backyard, he heard a burst of crying from inside. His heart tightened. He turned his head and asked the steward on the side. "Something happened."

The steward was a soft-hearted old man, he sighed, wiped a handful of tears and said, "His Royal Highness the Prince, the Crown Princess is sad for Xiaoliu Girl." The girl II.II. couldn't be saved in the end. โ€œ

"Oh, Hongu knows." Xiao Shuo was in a complicated mood, and waved his hand to let Guan Xianxing retreat.

The cries in the room came intermittently, sounding oppressive and sad. Xiao Shuo quietly walked into the room, and as soon as he pushed the door open, he saw Meng Yidi sitting there with his back to him, his shoulders trembling slightly.

"Ichiki II.II." Xiao Shuo called her softly. He saw the thin body tremble, and the sound of crying gradually turned into sobbing.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince II.II." Meng Yidi stood up with red and swollen eyes, wanting to salute Xiao Shuo. But she stopped her.

"You forgot? When it's just you and me, you don't have to do everything," Xiao Shuo whispered and hugged Meng Yidi into his arms. Xu was too sad, this time Meng Yidi did not avoid his sudden embrace. He curled up in her arms and sobbed to himself.

I want to say something, but I don't know where to start.

"The steward has already told me just now. Koyanagi's matter, you have to mourn. After all, she is the protector of the Lord, wait for me to talk to my father-in-law, let her and her family become good friends, and then settle her relatives. โ€œ

"His Royal Highness Prince Xie II.II." refers to Koyanagi. Meng Yidi cried uncontrollably.

"Okay, don't cry, you cry so much that my heart hurts." Xiao Shuo lowered his head and coaxed with kind words. While saying gentle love words, he wiped his tears for Meng Yidi.

Meng Yidi looked at Xiao Shuo with teary eyes, only to feel that his heart was very sore. Even if he and Song Wenyu were a pair of golden boys and girls known to everyone, he had never been so gentle with himself. I don't know if it's because the two didn't become husband and wife at that time?

Meng Yidi lowered her head with some guilt, the thought that flashed by her just now was too shameful for her.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Shuo had her in his heart, and he was such a smart person, so he naturally discovered her abnormality.

"It's okay, I'm just a little tired from crying II.II." Meng Yidi replied softly, his voice trembling a little.

Xiao Shuo felt her sudden refusal. This left him a little confused. He thought that the relationship between the two of them had reached a higher level, but he didn't expect that it was just his wishful thinking.

"Really? The palace helped the crown princess to rest. Xiao Shuo's voice suddenly turned cold, and even his title changed. Meng Yidi looked at him with tears in his eyes, his mouth slightly open, as if he wanted to say something.

But in the end, she bowed her head and was silent. This kind of desire to speak again and again made Xiao Shuo irritable for no reason. Just as Xiao Zhan commented on him, he was as proud as him, if he hadn't taken Meng Yidi to heart, how could he have endured such a grievance.

Xiao Shuo forcibly carried Meng Yidi to the bed without saying a word, and between his eyes, he didn't feel any tenderness, only tightness and stiffness. This realization made Xiao Shuo slowly let go of the hand that imprisoned Meng Yidi.

"You have a good rest, and this palace will come to see you later," he said without even looking at her.

Meng Yidi was immersed in the grief of losing Xiaoliu at this moment, and she couldn't help but think of Song Wenyu just now, her thoughts were chaotic. Even if he noticed Xiao Shuo's depression, he didn't know how to relieve him.

Perhaps, from the very beginning, the relationship between the two was destined to be a mess, with many dead knots that could not be untied.

Xiao Shuo saw that she didn't say anything, so he really stood up and strode out. When he reached the door, he paused. Meng Yidi saw him stiffly tilt his head sideways and look into the corner of the room.

There, there used to be Meng Yidi's guqin. He also knew that she loved to play the piano the most.

"Where's the piano?"

Xiao Shuo suddenly thought of the little maid who followed Song Shen yesterday, holding the rectangular red brocade box in her hand.

Meng Yidi frowned, sat up and looked at his tall back. The sun was just right outside, but his body blocked all the sunlight.

"I gave it away," Meng replied softly.

"It's for Song Shen's, isn't it," Xiao Shuo looked back at him and asked suspiciously.

Meng Yidi was taken aback by his expression and tone, but he still forced himself to nod calmly, "Hmm." โ€œ

"Okay, very good," Xiao Shuo felt that her chest hurt because she was so angry, "Is it for Song Shen, or for Song Wenyu?" โ€œ

Meng Yidi raised his head and looked at him in surprise, as if he had been seen through it. Actually, it was because of this sentence that broke his heart. "What do you mean?"

"It's nothing, I just want to ask you, whether it's sending the piano or sending love." Xiao Shuo glanced at Meng Yidi coldly, and after saying this, he brushed his sleeves away. He slammed the door to the ground.

Meng Yidi was frightened by this sudden loud noise, she looked at the closed door in a daze, and the sadness and despair in her heart slowly spread out, drowning her whole body.

"After all, you still don't believe in my II.II."

Meng Yidi lowered his head and muttered in a stunned voice.

โ…กโ…ก

Song Wenyu has been driven to sleep in the side room by Ah Jin for three days, Huairen doesn't know why, but Ah Zhen and Ah Jiu vaguely know. Because since the eldest young master left the master bedroom, Ah Jin has been eating and sleeping in addition to eating. is looking at the guqin given to her by the crown princess.

"Girl, otherwise I'll take this guqin to the firewood room and split it." In line with the principle of being a good family, Ah Zhen proposed very seriously. "This piano is made of agarwood, and it is just right to smoke clothes."

As soon as she finished speaking, she was slapped firmly on the head by Ah Jiu. "How much do you know?"

Ah Zhen covered her head aggrievedly and stopped talking. As soon as I looked up, I saw that Ah Jin was already sitting in front of the guqin, and his hands were on the strings. "It's a pity that such a good piano is wasted. Besides, there are rules in the pavilion, and people in the hall with a thousand faces cannot destroy people's musical instruments. โ€œ

Ah Zhen stuck out her tongue and didn't dare to speak anymore. She was let out as a "pigeon" for too long, and she had long forgotten the red tape on the Tsutenkaku.

"What are you going to do, girl?" Ah Jiu turned his head to look at Ah Jin.

Today, Ah Jin is wearing a moon-white narrow-sleeved shirt, with a white marble falling from his forehead. This dress is very similar to what she wears in Tsutenkaku on weekdays.

Ah Jiu looked at her silently, and suddenly felt a little unruly.

"Naturally, it's a bullet, and it's not in vain that the princess gave me such a good gift." As she spoke, she raised her bare hand, and with just a single tone, she used ninety percent of her internal force.

Ah Jiu and Ah Zhen covered their ears and glanced at each other.

Where is this playing the piano? It's clearly going to kill someone!

But fortunately, Ah Jin took back his power after plucking a few syllables containing internal force. She played the song "Autumn Moon on the Peaceful Lake" smoothly, and the first few plays were just to want Song Wenyu, who was next door, to hear it.

in the next room. Song Wenyu was reading a book, and suddenly heard someone playing "Autumn Moon on the Peaceful Lake", and immediately raised his head. Huairen stayed by his side, and when he saw that his expression was wrong, he hurriedly said, "Young master, it's next door playing the piano." โ€œ

"I know." Song Wenyu stared at the door, as if he could see Ah Jin's every move alone.

Huairen saw that his head was on fire, and he didn't dare to say another superfluous word. Song Wenyu didn't have the heart to read at all now, he put the book aside, pushed open the door and walked out.

The angry look is clearly to quarrel.

Huairen touched a cold sweat. Hurriedly followed. Strange to say, as soon as Song Wenyu stood at the door, the sound of the piano stopped. Song Wenyu was in a dilemma for a while, and he didn't know whether to leave or stay.

When she was embarrassed, Ah Zhen suddenly opened the door. When she saw Song Wenyu standing outside the door, she was not surprised, but said with a smile: "Uncle, my girl is angry, please come in." โ€œ

Song Wenyu said in her heart, is she still angry?

While thinking so, he still involuntarily entered the room. Huairen also wanted to follow up and take a look, but was blocked at the door by Ah Zhen and Ah Jiu.

"What are you masters going to do? I'm telling you, domestic violence is not right! โ€œ

Huairen was a little flustered, after all, no matter how strong Song Wenyu was, he was just a powerless scholar. Compared to Ah Jin, it is certainly not a sporadic difference.

He was so carefree, which made Ah Zhen cover her mouth and laugh for a while. Ah Jiu looked at his junior sister puzzled and said, "What are you laughing at?" โ€œ

Huairen also looked at her with raised eyebrows, it was rare to unite with Ah Jiu. "yes, is that funny? What's so funny about that? โ€œ

"This entourage of my uncle is really interesting, I think our girl will beat my uncle." Ah Zhen smiled and said Huairen's worries, which made Huairen's old face flush for a while.

"Oh, don't worry, it won't,". Ah Jiu comforted him, "Our girl never takes action easily, for fear of death." โ€œ

After listening to Ah Jiu's words, Huairen's whole person was not good. Ah Zhen smiled even more happily when she saw him stunned.

Ah Zhen's silver bell-like laughter came into the room, and Ah Jin Wan'er smiled and said, "It seems that Huairen and my two maids are chatting happily. โ€œ

In fact, she heard their conversations. She looked at Song Wenyu and involuntarily began to imagine Song Wenyu's blue nose and swollen face.

Song Wenyu frowned and looked at her, only feeling that a woman's heart is a needle under the sea. A few days ago, he didn't say a word to himself, and his cold appearance made him feel uncomfortable for a while.

As soon as I turned my back, I was like no one else.

"You, II.II., aren't angry."

"Well, don't be angry," Ah Jin smiled slightly, showing the pear vortex at the corner of his mouth. I saw her go around the piano table and suddenly sit in Song Wenyu's arms.

"Nonsense. Blue sky and white sun, what kind of system have you become like this. Song Wenyu's face turned red, and when he said this, his hands still involuntarily wrapped around Ah Jin's waist.

He looked like he wanted to refuse and welcome, which made Ah Jin laugh again. This time, Song Wenyu completely lost his temper. When Ah Jin finished laughing, he asked angrily, "Happy?" โ€œ

"Well, I'm happy," Ah Jin finally held back a smile and handed him a note. "Look what it is."

Song Wenyu glanced at her suspiciously, and then opened the note and quickly read the content, even more puzzled. "Who gave it to you?"

"Meng Yidi," Ah Jin turned his head to look at the guqin, "She hid the note in the secret compartment of the guqin, if I hadn't wanted to play it on a whim today, I wouldn't have found the mechanism in it." โ€œ

"She's II.II." Song Wenyu lowered his head and glanced at the note again. "What does she mean by that?"

"I don't know," Ah Jin shook his head, "Probably literally, let's be careful of Meng Yihan." She might be able to make a move. โ€œ

"But why?" Of course, Song Wenyu knew the words written on this note, but he didn't understand why Meng Yihan had to go to great lengths to get along with Ah Jin. Could it be that he, Song Wenyu, apart from Meng Yidi, can't marry someone else?

"Because, you're fragrant." Seeing Song Wenyu's thoughtful appearance, Ah Jin hugged him and kissed him, and said.

Song Wenyu reacted at this time, but the fact that Ah Jin broke it down surprised him a little. "Is it for me?"

Ah Jin nodded, didn't say anything more, just took the note that Meng Yidi wrote to her, threw it in the incense burner and burned it clean.

Disaster in disguise.

Ah Jin turned his head and saw Song Wenyu's frowning appearance, and gave Song Wenyu such an evaluation in his heart.
