Chapter 23 Visits
The announcement fell, and the tense atmosphere in the hall was quiet.
"What are you doing in a daze, go down!" An Jiuchen immediately let those guards retreat, and ordered someone to carry the old emperor down, and helped the queen down by the way, seeing that everything returned to normal and couldn't see any clues, An Jiuchen's face eased slightly, and looked outside the door of the main hall.
A woman dressed in red walked in slowly, the woman's face was covered with a white scarf, her tall figure, her well-cut dress lined out her beautiful figure, and she moved her lotus steps lightly and walked over slowly.
"It's so lively." The woman spoke, and a silver bell-like laugh rang out, and the woman continued, "I took the liberty of coming, but I disturbed you?" ”
This woman is the second princess of Huailiang Kingdom - Liangyue, and she is the most beloved daughter of the king of Huailiang Kingdom.
When a princess from another country visits, no matter what the purpose is, she can't lose the face of her royal family. An Jiuchen was guessing Liang Yue's intention in his heart, so he solemnly replied with a national salute: "The distinguished guest came to visit, but the palace did not go out to greet him, it is the palace that is rude." ”
"It's Liang Yue's rudeness, I heard that the prince of the General's Mansion is here, Liang Yue rushed over curiously, the prince is not strange." Liang Yue smiled slightly, and quietly looked at the layout of the main hall.
"Oh?" An Jiuchen glanced at Su Mo, and said with a smile on his face, "The second princess is here for the little general?" ”
Liang Yue didn't notice anything abnormal, quietly suppressed the doubts in her heart, and said with a smile: "It's not all, Liang Yue originally came with the envoys, but knowing that Cheng'an has a simple national style and a lot of fun things, Liang Yue couldn't wait, so she came by herself first." ”
Strange, someone told her that there was a change in Fengyi Palace, why didn't she find anything abnormal when she came?
Liang Yue took off the veil on her face, and a goose egg face was slightly powdered, with a smile on her face, although it was not the color of the country and the city, but it was also a first-class appearance that was difficult to forget at a glance.
"I see. Fortunately, the palace has already cleaned up the palace for entertaining guests, why don't you take the second princess over to have a look? An Jiuchen is not stupid, although Liang Yue's gaze is not obvious, he still asked him to find out, and she must not be asked to stay here for more.
An Jiuchen leaned sideways slightly and made a gesture of please.
Liang Yue smiled slightly, knowing what An Jiuchen meant, so she nodded and said, "In this way, I'm tired of the prince." ”
Liang Yue followed An Jiuchen out of the main hall, and outside the hall, more than twenty women in red were waiting.
"I didn't want to disturb you too much, so I told them to wait here." Liang Yue explained, "My father didn't worry about me, so he sent these people to keep me safe. ”
An Jiuchen nodded, and said with a smile on his face: "The second princess naturally wants to ensure safety when she travels, and it doesn't hurt to bring more people." ”
It can be seen that these women are extraordinary. But in the name of protecting their own princess, An Jiuchen didn't have much to say.
"The prince is really a talent, and he is considerate everywhere, no wonder I heard many words praising the prince along the way." Liangyue Road.
An Jiuchen said: "It's just a duty, it's not worth mentioning." ”
An Jiuchen led Liangyue all the way to the embassy hall dedicated to entertaining envoys from other countries, and after another reception, An Jiuchen left the embassy and went to Fengyi Palace.
"Princess, but what do you see?" A red-clothed maid stepped forward and asked softly.
Liang Yue frowned, thought for a while, and said, "I only saw blood stains in the hall, and it was not obvious. And the expressions of those people were not abnormal. ”
The maid said again: "This is strange, this secret letter clearly says that there is a change in Fengyi Palace." ”
Liang Yue took the secret letter and read it again, reaching out and tearing it to pieces. said: "The people of Cheng Anguo have always been scheming, and they should not be underestimated. You have to be very careful when you move around here. ”
The maid hurriedly responded, and asked cautiously, "Then princess, do you still want to go to the General's Mansion?" ”
"General's Mansion......" Liang Yue seemed to remember something, and smiled lightly, "Naturally, I want to go, there are some things I have to ask in person." ”
Here, Liang Yue was planning to go to the General's Mansion, and in Fengyi Palace, Su Nuo'er and the others were still waiting for An Jiuchen.
Only Xia Wanwan, Su Nuo'er and Su Mo were left in the main hall, and as soon as An Jiuchen came, Xia Wanwan took the lead in standing up and greeted her.
"Your Highness is back."
"Hmm." An Jiuchen answered, stopped, and looked at Su Nuo'er.
Su Nuo'er was boredly fiddling with the wine glasses on the table, and when she heard the footsteps, she raised her head and met An Jiuchen's eyes.
With just one glance, Su Nuo'er looked away disgusted. It's so disgusting, the front foot just forced his biological father to death, and he can be affectionate to her at this time, not to mention that he has a Xia Wanwan by his side, he can also make this appearance of only being affectionate to her.
"Since Sister Nuo'er doesn't want to marry this palace, then I won't force it."
After a long time, An Jiuchen spoke.
Xia Wanwan on the side was overjoyed, and couldn't help grabbing his sleeve and asking, "Is this true?" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince won't marry her? ”
An Jiuchen's calculation in his heart was fine-since he couldn't get married, it would be ruined.
If he can't get Su Nuo'er, then others will never get it.
An Jiuchen did not blame Xia Wanwan's somewhat rude behavior, but nodded and confirmed: "Sister Nuo'er doesn't have this palace in her heart, and this palace will naturally not force it anymore." ”
When Su Nuo'er heard this, she immediately glanced at Su Mo, and Su Mo said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is reasonable, and Mo has thanked His Highness here." ”
Su Nuo'er couldn't wait to leave this ghost place quickly, and then said, "Nuo'er also thank His Royal Highness the Prince," paused, and said, "Thank you Miss Xia too." ”
No one knew why Su Nuo'er wanted Xie Xia Wanwan, but An Jiuchen waved his hand a little tiredly and said, "Go down." Today's events, forget about them when you leave this palace gate. ”
Su Mo led Su Nuo'er to thank him and walked out of Fengyi Palace smoothly.
As soon as she got out of the palace, Su Nuo'er sighed faintly: "Although the old emperor is not a good person, this end is also quite pitiful." ”
Su Mo snorted coldly and said, "Karma is just retribution." ”
"Brother, I let my father and mother go to the battlefield at the beginning, but the old emperor gave the order?" Su Nuo'er asked suddenly. "I didn't believe what my grandfather said, and my grandfather said that my father asked for his own life, and my mother followed me by herself."
Su Mo heard her suddenly mention this, and knew that she must have found something, so he didn't hide it from her anymore: "Indeed, grandpa lied." ”
Su Nuo'er was about to ask, but the carriage that took them back to the house came, so she had to get into the carriage first, and then without waiting for her to ask, Su Mo said it herself.
"You were young and didn't remember many things. That year, Huailiang and other small border countries united to attack our country, our border cities were lost one after another, the old emperor was furious, and he was furious in the court, and then he issued a holy decree to let his father lead the troops to the battle, but at that time, his father's old injury recurred, and he had been bedridden for several days, and the old emperor's holy decree was issued several times in succession, forcing his father to take the injury to the battlefield, and the mother was not worried about the father, - perhaps the mother had guessed at that time that the father might be more than auspicious this time, so she sent Ruobai to Tianxue Mountain in advance and took over her position as the pavilion master, Then he followed his father to the battlefield. ”
"Later, my father and mother fell into the enemy's trap and died on the battlefield, right?" Su Nuo'er closed her eyes slightly, her eyelashes moving slightly.
Su Mo shook his head lightly, he didn't want to mention that painful memory, but he didn't want to lie to his sister with whitewashed lies like his grandfather. "No, it was a spy in the army who leaked the battle plan prepared by my father in advance."
I see.
That's exactly what happened.
Su Nuo'er opened her eyes, and her eye sockets quickly reddened. "Do you know who that spy is?"
"The man died on the battlefield together, and his identity cannot be verified." Su Mo said.
"Grandpa, why are you lying to me?" Su Nuo'er's heart was extremely painful.
Su Mo hugged her shoulder and said: "Grandpa wants to keep you growing up safely, if you know the truth, it is difficult to guarantee that this imperial city will not be turned upside down, the old emperor can't tolerate sand in his eyes, if you insist on tracking down the truth of the year, the old emperor will definitely have thousands of ways to make you unable to investigate, and then find a random reason to send you into the eighteenth layer of hell." Even if you are the daughter of a noble general's mansion, even if you are a grandfather, you can't be saved. ”
The truth is already so cruel, and Su Mo told the reality clearly, telling Su Nuo'er that some things cannot be done with a lot of blood, the reality is so, if you don't have enough ability to protect yourself, in front of a powerful and difficult enemy, you can only be a mayfly shaking a tree.
Su Nuo'er took a deep breath, unwilling but had to admit what her brother said. "I know, brother, I won't be impulsive anymore."
Su Mo nodded and pulled her out of the carriage.
As soon as she entered the mansion, Su Nuo'er noticed that something was wrong. "Brother, why are there so many women in red?"
Su Mo raised his eyebrows, and secretly said in his heart. He replied with internal force: "I'm afraid that the second princess has come to find Su Yi." ”
Su Nuo'er wants to cry without tears, well, she is going to be unlucky.
Who is Su Yi?
Of course, it is the name used by Su Nuoer when he wears men's clothing.
"You still have to think about how to deal with these two princesses." Su Mo transmitted the sound again, obviously gloating.
Su Nuo'er gritted her teeth and immediately ran back to her glazed courtyard, as soon as she entered the courtyard, Nian Xia greeted her in a panic, and whispered: "Miss, why are you back, hurry up and go out to hide, that second princess of Huailiang Kingdom is here!" ”
"What?!" Su Nuo'er wanted to cry again without tears, and dared to come directly to her yard. "I don't know her, what is she doing here?"
Nian Xia just shook her head and said anxiously, "Miss, do you want to go out and hide?" ”
Su Nuo'er shook her head, this Liang Yue only knew what she looked like when she was in men's clothes, and she didn't know that she was Su Yi, so there was nothing to worry about for the time being. And she guessed that this cool moon came to her to be close.
"Let's go, let's see."
Su Nuo'er entered the house, and when she saw Liang Yue, she immediately smiled and said, "Isn't this the second princess?" Why did you suddenly come to my general's mansion again? ”
"When I saw you in the palace just now, I felt that you fit your eyes, and I was not bored, so I brought some hometown specialties to get to know you." Cool Moon said naturally.
Su Nuo'er immediately looked flattered: "The second princess is too uplifting to me, I am just a domineering little overlord in this imperial city, everyone shouts and beats, how can I be blessed to let the princess come in person." ”
Liang Yue smiled: "I just like your temperament, I don't know how many times more real than those ladies." ”
Su Nuo'er choked, yes, this Liangyue really couldn't hear her or pretended not to hear it, in short, she wanted to make her a friend. "I didn't expect the second princess to be so approachable. It's just that the second princess suddenly visited, what happened? ”
Liang Yue was overjoyed when she saw Su Nuo'er take the initiative to ask, but she still pretended to be casual on her face and said, "It's nothing, just to see an old friend, he is the adopted son of the general's mansion, Su Yi." ”
Coldly hearing Liang Yue say the name "Su Yi", Su Nuo'er, who had just taken a sip of tea, almost didn't squirt out, pretending not to hear clearly and asked, "Who?" ”
