Chapter 128: Yang Mubai, Pei Shengyuan, and Suspicion Again

Yang Mubai woke up, it was already his prime, Pei Shengyuan was already fully dressed, sitting on the edge of the bed and looking at her.

Yang Mubai was a little embarrassed for a while, why did he oversleep.

Pei Shengyuan pinched her face and said with a smile: "Mu Mu, get up, Qiuyue and they have cleaned up." After you have eaten, we will prepare to leave for the palace. ”

Yang Mubai said: "I don't want to go back to the palace yet. ”

Pei Shengyuan asked, "Why?" Didn't you say it yesterday? ”

Yang Mubai said indignantly: "I didn't promise you to go back to the palace yesterday. An An is still in Gaocan, I don't feel at ease. ”

Pei Shengyuan frowned and said, "Mu Mu, An An will stay in Gaocan for two more years, you can't stay in the side all the time, right?" ”

Yang Mubai pondered for a while and said, "Your Majesty, if you don't go back to the palace first, I want to wait." ”

Pei Shengyuan was puzzled: "What are you waiting for?" ”

Yang Mubai replied: "Because of An An's matter, I offended General Zuo again." I would like to wait for him to come back from the withdrawal and then apologize to him. ”

Pei Shengyuan's brows were furrowed, did she still have a friendship with General Zuo?

Yang Mubai then said: "Before, because of He Shengnan's matter, he was angry with me. On this expedition, the eldest prince and the general on the left were fine, but An An was captured......"

Pei Shengyuan said: "The battlefield is changing, and anyone is captured or killed or wounded. General Zuo Shang was also trying to find a way to rescue An An, he didn't mean to. ”

Yang Mubai said: "Originally, the war with Gao Canguo was extremely dangerous, and An An went on the expedition for the first time. General Zuo led the team, but he couldn't protect An An, and I was really worried about An An's safety. This time, Ruo An can return safely, he is still training on the battlefield, and I don't want him to have such an accident again. ”

Pei Shengyuan said: "General Zuo is not such a person, this time it must be an accident." ”

Yang Mubai said angrily: "The eldest prince has been in the army for many years, and there has not been a single accident. Why did an accident happen in An'an? Is this accident too much of a coincidence? ”

Pei Shengyuan said helplessly: "Mu Mu, do you want me to cure General Zuo's sin?" ”

Yang Mubai turned his face away and didn't speak.

Pei Shengyuan said softly: "There is no evidence to prove that he did it on purpose, how can you let me treat him?" ”

Yang Mubai lost her mind, she said loudly: "You are the Son of Heaven, you can't help it?" This time An An was captured by an accident, and next time An An ......" her eyes were red, and she choked up and couldn't continue.

Pei Shengyuan said: "The state has national laws, I am the Son of Heaven, and I can't convict people arbitrarily." Do you want me to be a dumbfounder? General Zuo Shang has made great contributions to the emperor. ”

Yang Mubai said disappointedly: "He is more important than An An, right?" ”

Pei Shengyuan said helplessly: "Mu Mu, what are you talking about?" Can this be the same? An An is my son, Gao Can originally asked for ten cities to exchange, and I agreed. They repent, so what's the solution? ”

Yang Mubai said coldly: "Your Majesty, since General Zuo can control An An's life and death, then I will ask him for forgiveness and let him let An An have a way to live, what's wrong?" I wanted to apologize to him many times before, but he refused, and this time I offended him again. If I can't ask for his forgiveness, I'm afraid An An will not have a son in the army. ”

Pei Shengyuan said softly: "Mu Mu, General Zuo is right to do this. You are the queen, and getting close to the ministers of the court and the central government will cause criticism. ”

Yang Mubai said: "For the safety of An An, I am not afraid of criticism, and I have long been notorious for opposing me......"

Pei Shengyuan said coldly: "You don't care about your reputation, you also have to take care of the reputation of General Zuo and An An, right?" ”

Yang Mubai insisted: "I care more about An An's reputation than his safety. If General Zuo cares about his reputation, he should protect An An. And not to declare a personal vendetta. ”

Pei Shengyuan said angrily: "This is not what General Zuo Shang. ”

Yang Mubai asked, "Could it be that you did it?" Don't you want An An to come back? She thought about it like this, this was indeed like Pei Shengyuan's trick, he couldn't participate in the establishment of the crown prince if he took An An.

No wonder General Zuo did not accept his apology once, it seems that Pei Shengyuan is helping him avenge! The only one who can command the general on the left is Pei Shengyuan. No wonder Gao Canguo first wanted the city, and then changed to house arrest. What a vicious scheme.

Pei Shengyuan couldn't stand her suspicion of herself, as long as something happened, she could always suspect him for the first time. Looking at her cold eyes, Pei Shengyuan felt extremely frustrated.

He asked calmly, "Mu Mu, do you think I was behind all this?" ”

Yang Mubai asked, "Isn't it?" ”

Pei Shengyuan said: "Mu Mu, you promised me last night that you will no longer doubt me in the future?" Before the day has passed, you will change your hexagram. In your heart, I am so vicious that I will poison my own son? ”

Yang Mubai said: "Then please tell me, why was An An captured on his first expedition?" Why did Gao Canguo first want the city, and then change the seclusion? ”

Pei Shengyuan didn't want to dwell on it anymore, he had already got the answer. Yang Mubai's trust in him is as thin as a cicada's wings.

He said bluntly: "If you don't believe me, it's useless for me to say anything." The last time you were in the middle of the medicine, Peony was bewitched by a fake Taoist priest, and the fake Taoist priest appeared in your father's mansion. And before he died, he brought the news back to the palace, which was also the son of your father's student, who had committed suicide not long ago. The officials in the DPRK and China who support An An as the crown prince are inextricably linked to your father. ”

Yang Mubai asked: "Your Majesty, do you think that my father has the intention of arrogance, so you will send An An to Gao Canguo as a hostage?" ”

Pei Shengyuan said loudly: "I didn't! Even if I doubt your father, I have not been unfavorable to An An from beginning to end. ”

Yang Mubai was silent, she didn't know who to blame for all this? It seems that everyone is at fault, and it seems that no one has done anything wrong.

Pei Shengyuan asked, "Mu Mu, let me ask you one last time, do I want to go back to the palace with me?" ”

Yang Mubai's mind is very messy, all the problems have not been solved, and he can only use it when he returns to the palace at this time.

She and Pei Shengyuan's future, she can't see clearly.

She thought for a long time and said softly, "I don't know, I have to think again." ”

Pei Shengyuan let go of her and said disappointedly: "Then you can think about it in the side!" I'll go back to the palace first. After saying that, he walked out without looking back.

Zhang Shuo and Qiu Yue were waiting outside, seeing that the emperor and queen were together yesterday, they must have returned to the palace together today.

When they saw Pei Shengyuan come out with a cold face, Zhang Shuo asked, "Your Majesty, the queen is ......?"

Pei Shengyuan said coldly: "Zhang Shuo, go back to the palace." If the queen wants to stay in the side, let her stay enough. ”

Zhang Shuo was speechless, what's the matter with you two guys, didn't you get together yesterday? Why did it change again? If you quarrel, it will hurt the pond fish! That's right, he's the poor pond fish.

But Pei Shengyuan is the emperor, he dares to be angry and doesn't dare to speak, he is really aggrieved.

He said to Qiu Yue: "Qiu Yue, then I'll go back first, don't worry, I will take care of my son." He misses you too. ”

Qiu Yue said: "I know everything, you guys go back!" Be careful on the road. ”

Pei Shengyuan was already in the carriage, Zhang Shuo didn't dare to let him wait for a long time, hurriedly said goodbye to Qiu Yue, and immediately went to the front of the team to lead the way.

An An became more and more comfortable in Gao Can, and he met some friends of Gao Canguo. For example, Princess Gao Ling and his brother.

He was also visited by some high-ranking ministers of the DPRK and China. Gao Can has declared himself a vassal to the imperial capital, and An An is their honored guest, where do they dare to slack off.

Princess Gao Ling is eighteen years old and unmarried, although the age does not match, Princess Gao Ling is beautiful and intelligent, even if she can't be a wife, it's not bad to be a side concubine. The lord of Gao Can intends to marry her to An An, and often sends her to the Proton Mansion.

An An knew their thoughts, and he didn't break it, every time he came over with Princess Gao Can, he chatted with her enthusiastically, and the two of them talked very speculatively like confidants who had known each other for many years.

Seeing this, the lord of Gao Canguo was very pleased, this little prince is still young, and he should not be married. If he admires Gao Ling, maybe he can become his concubine in the future. If you marry the royal family of the imperial capital, you don't have to worry about being retaliated against in the future.

On this day, Gao Ling was teaching his younger brother to read, and the lord of Gao Can came over, laughing and gossiping with them. The little prince thought that his father had come to see him, and he was very excited to show him the words he had written.

Gao Canguo glanced at it and said with a smile: "Peng'er has made great progress, and my father is very pleased. ”

Gao Peng hurriedly said: "Thank you for your father's praise, the child must work harder and study his homework well." ”

Lord Gao Can nodded, and then said to Gao Ling: "Ling'er, my father has something to talk to you about. ”

Gao Ling understood, and said, "Father, then let's go to the garden pavilion and say." Gao Peng, you are writing carefully here, you know? ”

Gao Peng nodded and said, "Father, please rest assured, I will definitely study carefully." ”

When they came to the pavilion, the lord of Gao Can said, "Ling'er, my father has seen that you have been very close to the little prince of the imperial capital recently, has he said anything to you?" ”

Gao Ling said: "Father, he is alone in a foreign country, I am the same age as him, and the conversation is speculative, just like a friend. Do you need any representation? "I thought to myself: Didn't you force me to go to him every day? How did it become like going by yourself?

Gao Canguo nodded when he heard this and said, "Yes, I think he has a good impression of you." When he returns to the imperial capital, he can at least be crowned a prince. If you follow him, your own future will be worry-free, and you can also help Gao Can to a certain extent. Ling'er, are you willing to serve the country? ”

Gao Ling said: "Father, you are mistaken, I am just friends with him, as for the rest, I have never thought about it. ”

Gao Canguo said: "Ling'er, you are eighteen years old, and you are also at the age of talking about horses. My father sees that the little prince of the imperial capital has excellent talent and noble status, which is very compatible with you. ”

Linggao said: "Father, he is only thirteen years old, where is the match?" ”

The lord of Gao Can said: "You are older, but your identity, appearance, and character are not bad. If the little prince likes you, it is also a match made in heaven. ”

Gao Ling said: "Father, if you say this again, I won't go to him in the future." Besides, he didn't mean that. ”

The lord of Gao Can said: "Ling'er, your marriage with him is a national marriage. You also know that we are now surrendering to the imperial capital, and our strength is far from them, and we have had festivals with the imperial capital before, if they pursue it in the future, it will be a disaster for the entire Gao Can. If you can marry their little prince, then the relationship between the two countries will go further. ”

Gao Ling said: "Father, he is still a child, where would he consider this." Besides, he is the prince of the imperial capital, and he is deeply favored by the emperor and empress, and it is impossible for them to let him marry a woman of different races like me. ”

The lord of Gao Can said: "Ling'er, as long as you work hard, let him fall in love with you." In order to compensate him, the emperor and queen of the imperial capital will definitely follow his wishes. The main thing is that in these two years, you have to win his favor. ”

Gao Ling said: "Father, I have a favorite person, and I don't want to marry him......"

Before she finished speaking, the lord of Gao Can said: "Ling'er, you are a princess, shouldering the safety of Gao Can's people, and you should focus on the overall situation." The matter between you and Gao Hu, break this heart as soon as possible! ”

Gao Ling knelt down and said: "Father, I am in love with him, he has also won many military merits in the army, and his future is limitless......"

Gao Can said: "Even if he ends up being a general of Gao Can, so what? Can it be compared with the prince of the imperial capital? ”

Gao Ling said aggrievedly: "Father, I really like him, and I ask my father to fulfill it." ”

The lord of Gao Can said: "It's not that my father is ruthless, I am the lord of Gao Can, and I have to plan for Gao Can's future." You are a princess, you have been pampered since you were a child, and you are worshiped by the people, shouldn't you relieve their worries? ”

Gao Ling said: "Do you want me to repay it with my life? I don't want to marry into the imperial capital. ”

The lord of Gao Can said: "If you insist on this, don't blame your father for being ruthless. ”

Gao Ling asked, "What does Father mean by this?" ”

The lord of Gao Can said: "Gao Hu is difficult to protect himself, and he still wants to eat swan meat like a toad, but I want to see if he has that blessing." ”

Gao Ling said disappointedly: "Father, I promise you to find a way to marry the little prince, please don't embarrass Gao Hu." I made it clear to him in a few days, and then I broke it off with him. ”

The lord of Gao Can asked, "Ling'er, is this true?" ”

Gao Ling said: "Father, how dare I joke with Gao Hu's life? ”

The lord of Gao Can said with satisfaction: "Ling'er, this is like a princess. If you think about it, my father left first. ”

In the past few days, Gao Ling's mood has been very low, and she has been thinking about it, but she still can't get a way to achieve it.

She thought of one that needed An An's cooperation. She couldn't tell how she could say the plan.

An An saw that she had been depressed for the past few days, so she asked, "Does Princess Gao Ling have something on her mind?" ”

Gao Ling thought for a long time, gritted his teeth and said, "Little prince, do you have a favorite person?" ”

An An said with a smile: "I am still young, I have not been married, and I have no favorite person. ”

Gao Ling said: "My father wants to match us, do you know? ”

An An shook his head and said, "I didn't know that there would be such a thing, so Princess Gao Ling has a favorite person and doesn't want to marry me, right?" ”

Gao Ling nodded and said shyly: "Yes, I already have a crush, but my father did not agree to this family business. ”

An An smiled slyly: "Princess Gao Ling, what's so difficult about this. When I tell your father that I have no intention of getting married in recent years, I am sure he will not persecute you anymore. ”

Gao Ling said: "By no means, if you say that, he will think that I am a hindrance and will be even more angry, and I am afraid that he will be unfavorable to Gao Hu." ”

An An asked, "Then according to Princess Gao Ling's wishes, what should be done about this matter?" ”

Gao Ling said: "Can the little prince pretend to like me, we will get married as soon as possible, of course, it is just a fake marriage." I would also like to ask my father to let you return to the country as soon as possible, so that everyone can take what they need, what do you think? ”

An An shook his head and said: "Marriage is a major matter, parents need to be in charge, and my father and queen mother will not agree to me marrying a foreign woman, please forgive me." ”

Princess Gao Ling said again: "We are just a fake marriage, you can marry me as a concubine." My favorite man, Gao Hu, has made great achievements in Gao Can's army, and if the little prince can use it in the future, we will definitely go to the soup and ......."

An An still shook his head and said, "I'm still young, and it's too early to get married now." ”

Princess Gao Ling said: "I asked my father to repair the book to your father, if you can return to the country early, I think they will agree." ”

An An said: "If the princess insists on going her own way, then I can also cooperate." But what will happen to your sweetheart after we get married? ”

Princess Gao Ling said: "After a few years of our marriage, our two countries will be safe, you can find another reason to divorce me." ”

An An said with a smile: "Princess Gao Ling is really wise, and she can think of such a scheme. ”

Gao Ling sighed and said: "I don't have any pursuits in my life, and I only want Yang to marry him." However, this little wish cannot be fulfilled by my father, so I can only plan for myself. ”

An An said: "Okay, I want to be an adult." I can cooperate with you in this matter. ”

Gao Ling said in surprise: "Little prince, thank you. I will definitely repay you in the future. After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave

An An said: "Princess Gao Ling, this matter, let's report it to your father and emperor after a while!" We don't want to be happy right now. ”

Gao Ling was just happy and forgot about this stubble. She turned around and said, "Little prince, I know! ”

After Gao Ling left, An An asked, "Aunt He, who is Gao Hu?" ”

He Shengnan said: "Gao Can is a deputy general, but his strength is not bad, he was promoted to deputy general after only twenty, and in a few years, it is estimated that he can become a general." ”

An An asked, "Is it useful?" ”

He Shengnan said: "With his relationship with Princess Gao Ling, it is quite useful!" ”

An An chuckled and drank a cup of tea and walked back to the house.

Gao Ling came and went to find Gao Go.

Gao Hu didn't expect Gao Ling to come to him, so he hurriedly walked outside the tent, and he didn't even have time to tidy up his appearance.

Gao Ling couldn't help laughing out loud when she saw him, and she said, "Is Vice General Gao being chased by a ghost?" Why are you so impatient? ”

Gao Hu said, "Princess, I didn't want to see you sooner! ”

Gao Ling said: "Okay! Got it! Let's find a place where we can talk. ”

Gao Hu saw that her serious appearance should be a big deal, so he obediently followed behind her.

They came to a lake surrounded by beautiful scenery and beautiful scenery.

Gao Hu asked, "Princess, what is the matter with me?" ”

Gao Ling said: "Gao Hu, my father does not agree to our affairs......"

Gao Hu said: "Princess, I have worked hard, in a year or two, I will definitely be promoted to general, can you wait for me?" ”

Gao Ling shook his head and said, "My father wants me to marry the little prince of the imperial capital, form an in-law between the two countries, and resolve past grievances. ”

Gao Hu said: "We are already a minister, why do we want to be friendly? ”

Gao Ling said: "You also know that in the past, Gao Can's soldiers killed many people in the imperial capital, and the two countries have deep grievances. My father is afraid that he will be retaliated against by the imperial capital today. ”

Gao Hu hurriedly said, "Princess, you can't agree to marry him. There will always be a way, you don't have to be married! ”

Gao Ling said: "I have a personal relationship with the little prince of the imperial capital, and he is willing to fulfill us. If you resolutely oppose this family business, I am afraid that my father will be unfavorable to you, so I will fake marriage with him. After a year or two of peace between the two countries, let him divorce me. Don't worry, I don't have anything to do with him, I don't love him. ”

Takago said, "Then what if he cheats on you, what will you do?" ”

Gao Ling said with a smile: "The little prince of the imperial capital is only thirteen years old, and he has no shortage of women, how can he like me?" After I married him, it was just a deal to let my father release him back to China as soon as possible. ”

Gao Hu hesitated and said, "You get along day and night, you won't fall in love with him, right?" ”

Gao Ling said angrily: "Gao Hu, don't you even believe me? ”

Gao Hu hurriedly said, "Princess, I naturally believe in you. I'm afraid that the little prince will take a fancy to you in the future, so what should I do. ”

Gao Ling said: "No, he is an ambitious person, and I want you to be loyal to him in the future, otherwise he will not cooperate." ”

Gao Hu was relieved and said, "Okay, I see." When you arrive in the imperial capital, you have to write to me from time to time, you know? ”

Gao Ling shook his head and said, "No, I promised my father that I would break it off with you." You're going to wait patiently for me to come back in Gaocan, would you like to? ”

Gao Hu grabbed her hand and said, "Of course I'm willing, don't say a word or two, even ten years, I'm willing to wait." ”

Gao Ling said: "Okay, then you also have to work hard and serve the little prince in the future." ”

Gao Hu smiled and said, "Princess, don't worry! By the time you return, I'll be a general. When the time comes, we'll get married. ”

Gao Ling nodded and said, "Gao Hu, I have wronged you." ”

Gao Hu shook his head and said, "Don't be wronged, as long as I can be with you, I am willing to do anything." ”

Gao Ling and Gao Hu said some intimate words again, and then reluctantly said goodbye.

During this time, Princess Gao Ling came to Proton Mansion more frequently. Her relationship with An An is progressing rapidly, and the two look like a pair of lovers in love to outsiders.

After a month like this, the lord of Gao Can was very satisfied, and he found Gao Ling to discuss the matter of the two of them.

The lord of Gao Can said: "Ling'er, I see that you have been very close to the little prince of the imperial capital recently, is it a good thing to come true." ”

Gao Ling said: "Father, he has said that he likes me, but he can't be the master of marriage. ”

The lord of Gao Can said: "Ling'er, don't worry, as long as he pleases you." Father will make decisions for you. ”

Gao Ling asked, "Father, what do you want to do?" ”

Gao Can said: "I will repair the book to the emperor and empress of the imperial capital, and at the same time, you will also let the little prince repair the book to them." Let's explain this to them together and see what they say. ”

Gao Ling said: "It's all up to my father. ”
