As soon as he heard Xiao Ye coming, Xiao Heng's face changed, and the smile on his face turned into disgust in an instant, Xiao Daocheng was so happy, and immediately ordered: "Quickly pass him in!" ”

The little eunuch immediately went to pass it, and then he saw a man with bright eyes and bright teeth and beautiful eyebrows striding into the hall, calling in his mouth: "Brother Huang! Brother Huang! Brother Huang, you're really back! ”

Xiao Ye's voice was so kind, with a smile on his face like a spring breeze, he really looked like a brother's heart.

"Fifth brother," Xiao Zhen watched him walk in, and pulled the corners of his mouth stiffly, but he didn't smile, and there was no joy of reunion after a long absence, but there was a hint of ridicule.

Xiao Ye saw Xiao Heng standing beside Xiao Zhen, approached Nafu, who was smiling, and said, "Xuanzhao to meet Aunt Taizu," and then saluted Xiao Daocheng.

He had a smile on his face, seemingly full of excitement and joy, but under that false smile was a sharp knife.

Xiao Daocheng has always been partial to Xiao Ye, so he immediately called him flat and asked, "What is the matter with Xuanzhao today?" ”

"Father, the son is not on official business today," Xiao Ye turned his head and glanced at Xiao Zhen affectionately, and then said: "I just learned that the imperial brother is back, and I came to catch up with him, but I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence, and my grandmother was also there." ”

"Unfortunately! The mourning family also came to see Long'er," Xiao Heng was a little dissatisfied, and his words were aimed at Xiao Ye, "But Xuanzhao is very well-informed about this news, the mourning family lives in the palace, and it only happened to know about it, you live in the palace, and you also know about it?" ”

The implication is that Xiao Ye is in the Shiqian Palace, and even more so, he has ears and eyes around Xiao Daocheng. Xiao Daocheng understood it, his face immediately sank, Xiao Ye saw that the situation was not good, he had an idea, and said with a smile: "Aunt Taizu doesn't know, the imperial brother returned to Beijing, he met the door of the house first, and then entered the palace to face the saint, Xuanzhao Mansion is adjacent to the Prince's Mansion, so naturally he will know," In addition to these words, Xiao Zhen was slandered again.

Xiao Daocheng heard that Xiao Zhen did not enter the palace to face the saint as soon as he returned to Beijing, his face became colder, Xiao Heng saw his face, afraid that he would condemn Xiao Zhen, and was about to fight back against Xiao Ye, but he didn't want to, Xiao Xun opened his mouth first: "Lonely and anxious to rush back to Jiankang, there are very few accompanying guards, I am afraid that there will be people who plot against the wrong people on the way back to Beijing to assassinate, so I have been wearing military uniforms, swords with me, and returning to Beijing to return to the house first, in order to take off the military uniform, remove the sword, and put on regular clothes, so that I can enter the palace and face the saint, be a courtier, how can I not unload weapons in the palace?" When Lone entered the city this time, he did not take the South Fence Gate, but took the East Fence Gate, because from there, he would pass through the Prince's Mansion on the way into the palace, so that it was convenient to return to the house to prepare, why did the fifth brother think that there was anything wrong with Lonely? ”

Before he entered the city, he expected that someone would catch the wind and catch the shadows, and slandered him with this matter, so he specially went around the south fence gate to the east fence gate to enter the city, in order to facilitate the matter to be rounded.

"This ......" Xiao Ye's eyes flickered, Xiao Heng noticed it, so he provoked: "Xuanzhao, why did your imperial brother panic as soon as he said that he was afraid of being assassinated on the road?" Xiao Daocheng has a total of nineteen sons and three daughters, four of the nineteen sons died early, all of them were her Xiao Heng's heart, but there were a few that made her particularly disgusted, one is the third child, Xiao Ying, the king of Linchuan, Xie Guifei, as a prince, well-dressed but rape and plunder, no different from beasts, and then there are Xiao Ye and Xiao Yifu brothers and sisters, all of whom are from Luo Shuyi, these brothers and sisters are a temperament, they are both different from the outside, they are sanctimonious, humble and gentle in front of people, but wolf ambition in the back.

"Naturally panicked, the so-called brotherhood, Xuanzhao is not worried about the safety of the imperial brother," Xiao Ye sneered, extremely hypocritical.

Xiao Heng sneered, and only said: "The mourning family is tired, Long'er, you accompany the mourning family." ”

"Yes," Xiao Cheng said goodbye to Xiao Daocheng, followed Xiao Heng to the outside of the Shiqian Palace, and only listened to her sigh, "The mourning family knows that you are the Yanghou matter, and you still refuse to let go of the past with your father, the mourning family really doesn't worry that you are alone there, afraid that you will argue with your father again, and the fifth child is fanning the flames next to him, if you say anything that should not be said, the mourning family will not be able to protect you." ”

Xiao Zhen froze, frowned, and asked, "Aunt Tai also thinks that what I said at the beginning was inappropriate?" ”

Xiao Heng also stopped, but did not turn around to look at Xiao Zhen, looked into the distance with the dragon's head cane, and said abruptly: "The descendants of the mourning family are shallow, and when it comes to grandchildren, there is only one such as your cousin, but your cousin left early, and your cousin died on the battlefield again, Yanghou This child, no father and no mother, the mourning family was afraid that she would be bullied in the Xie family, so they took her to the palace of the king of Qi and stayed by their side to raise her, the mourning family watched her grow up little by little, she was afraid of melting in her mouth, and she was afraid of falling in her hand, she was the heart of the mourning family!" For her death, I also hate your father! But what can I do, he is the emperor, whatever he says is what he is, where can he allow others to go around? ”

She cried a little between her words, and after she finished speaking, she turned her head to look at Xiao Zhen, and said in a serious voice, "Long'er, there are some things that are not inappropriate to say, but can't be said!" ”

Xiao Zhen understood, bowed to Xiao Heng, and bowed his hand to thank him: "Long'er remember the teachings of Taizu Gu. ”

When she straightened up, Xiao Heng inadvertently saw the blood stains on his neckline, as if they were inadvertently stained, she was a smart person, and naturally she had expected how the blood stains were stained, so she said: "The way back from Liang County must not be smooth." ”

Xiao Zhen saw her eyes, and only then did he notice the blood stains on her neckline. Seeing that Xiao Heng was still followed by a few eye-catching Gong E, and it was not very convenient to speak, he stepped forward to support Xiao Heng, and Xue Changqing, who was already supporting her, the two of them helped her down the steps left and right, he said: "I expected that the road was not very peaceful, I thought that there was a trap only in the south fence gate, but I didn't expect that even the east fence gate also set up an ambush." ”

"Is it the fifth man?"

Xiao Zhen smiled and said nothing.

Walking to the bottom of the steps, Xiao Ye suddenly gasped and exclaimed, "Aunt Tai! Aunt Taizu stays! ”

The grandfather and grandson turned around, only to see Xiao Ye trotting out all the way, and even Liu Fang, the master of his house, followed him from outside the hall to Xiao Heng. Xiao Ye took a breath and hurriedly said: "I heard that Aunt Tai's blood has not been smooth these days, and she needs to make up for it, someone sent a good blood swallow yesterday, Xuanzhao thought, and later ordered someone to send it to Xianyang Hall to honor Aunt Tai. ”

He wanted to honor Xiao Heng, obviously to apologize for the inappropriate speech in the Shiqian Palace, but Xiao Heng didn't appreciate it, and laughed: "No need, Xuanzhao's heavy gift, where can the mourning family afford it." ”

"Aunt Taizu, you are serious...... Xiao Ye was about to argue, but Xiao Heng didn't allow him to interject, so he interrupted him immediately, and said meaningfully: "'Although the Ku people are not cured, the corpse will not be replaced by the bottle', this sentence comes from Zhuangzi's "Getaway", Xuanzhao, you are a smart person, the meaning of mourning, you should understand. ”

"Xuan Mingbai," Xiao Ye lowered his head, not daring to look at Xiao Heng, Xiao Heng got his response, he glanced at him, and called Xue Changqing: "Changqing, let's go back to Xianyang Palace." ”

Seeing that Xiao Heng was gone, Xiao Zhen also glanced at Xiao Ye coldly, and then walked away, presumably going out of the palace.

But Xiao Ye was still standing here, stopping, he looked at Xiao Heng who was walking away, and said to himself: "Aunt Taizu is telling this king to keep his duty, don't overstep his responsibilities!" ”

At this time, Liu Fang, the chief bookkeeper beside him, took over: "Although the eldest princess has some means, she is still just a woman in the end, and Her Royal Highness doesn't have to worry about it." ”

Xiao Ye seemed to be smiling, and only said: "She is not an ordinary woman!" ”
