Text Chapter 196 Doubts
Baili Ye Su seemed to see the doubts in Yan Xiaoyi's mind, twisted his eyebrows lightly, and said softly: "This matter is a long story, let me tell you slowly!" ”
It turned out that when the emperor Baili Ying ascended the throne, it coincided with the fact that the Huilong tribe of the foreign tribe in the southwest frontier bullied him when he was young, and planned to lead his troops to rebel.
However, the southwest area where the dragon clan was located was rugged and steep, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and there were hundreds of secret sentry traps hidden in the middle, and Ren Baili Ying couldn't dodge it in the end. The two thousand light cavalry he led fell into the enemy's stitches, and were surrounded by the enemy's powerful terrain, and in an instant he lost almost all the guards around him. He himself did not escape, and was captured by the dragon clan by an arrow in the chest.
Just when he thought that he was going to die, that the hundred miles of rivers and mountains that this old ancestor had fought hard would be destroyed in his hands, and that the people of the Hundred Miles Dynasty were about to fall into war again, a young and beautiful woman suddenly walked into the prison where he was held.
This woman is the later Concubine Zhuang, that is, the biological mother of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Dynasty.
The woman had heard the rumors of the tribesmen and came to see Bailiying, but who knew that she fell in love at first sight, and Bailiying fell in love at once, and swore that she would not marry Bailiying in this life!
This time, Zhuang Dafu, the patriarch of the dragon clan, lives in the southwest all the year round and lives a rich life, otherwise he would not be full of warmth and lust. Desire, the heart of rebellion. However, he lacks nothing but one thing, which can be described as the biggest regret of living in the world, that is, his descendants are very weak.
actually got a daughter when she was over forty years old, that is, this Zhuang Yanran.
Therefore, since Zhuang Yanran was born until she was twenty years old, she can be said to be pampered and spoiled, afraid of melting in her mouth, and afraid of breaking in the palm of her hand.
Zhuang Yanran happened to fall in love with Bai Liying, if she didn't cry and wipe her tears from time to time, she would die or live. As a father, Zhuang Dafu was unwilling, and in the end he never had his own daughter, so he had to compromise with her.
Therefore, Baili Ying's next trip to the south not only regained the southwest corner where the Huilong clan was entrenched, but also got a young and beautiful concubine, which can be described as a double benefit.
However, in the second year after Zhuang Yanran returned to Beijing with Bai Liying, she died of dystocia, leaving the second prince who had just been waiting to be fed, and said goodbye to his beloved two men, one big and one small.
Although this Concubine Zhuang is dead, Bai Liying has always been thinking about her. Because if she hadn't happened to appear like a timely rain back then, then his Baili clan's Jiangshan Sheji would probably collapse in an instant. Whether it is for Baili Ying or for the dead grandchildren of their Baili clan, it is a kindness that cannot be erased. Therefore, the second prince was canonized as a prince at a young age and was very favored.
In order to assist him in the position of His Royal Highness the Prince, Bai Liying even set a family affair for him and Fang Yuling, the daughter of Prime Minister Fang Xuanen, when he was young. The intention couldn't be more obvious, that is, to use the foundation of the Fang family in the Baili Dynasty to help His Royal Highness the Crown Prince gain a firm foothold as soon as possible and pave the way for the future enthronement.
However, everything did not go as Bai Liying expected. Although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Fang Yuling, the daughter of Prime Minister Fang Xuanen, got married when they were young, their personalities are one of fire and the other is like water. As the saying goes, fire and water are incompatible, so it is conceivable that both people feel unhappy about this family business. Although he wanted to break the marriage contract, he was unable to act freely due to the wishes of the two parents, and finally had to compromise. Finally, when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was twenty years old, a banquet was held in the palace for three days, and the two became married.
As the saying goes, a one-day husband and wife are a hundred days of grace, and a hundred days of husband and wife are like the depth of the sea. Bai Liying and Fang Xuanen originally thought that now that the overall situation has been decided, even if the two are reluctant, they will slowly develop a relationship after a long time. However, what I didn't expect was that Fang Yuling was born at any time, but she had a pampered young lady's temper. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was already impatient to deal with her, and after a long time, he was even more tormented by her fickle personality, and finally simply lived in another courtyard, and only returned to the Prince's Mansion whenever the big day came.
It's always Bai Liying who is dissatisfied, but there is no way.
But Fang Xuanen felt that it was normal for the two to be noisy, as long as his daughter sat firmly in the position of the crown princess, nothing else had to be considered. When the time comes, give birth to a son and a half daughter for His Royal Highness the Prince, and add the support of his mother's family, then I am afraid that no one in this Baili Dynasty will dare to provoke Fang Yuling without authorization.
However, after all calculations, in the end, that person still appeared.
Speaking of this, Yan Xiaowei already had some eyebrows in her heart, she couldn't help but twist her eyebrows, and asked, "The person you said is the woman you saw just now?" ”
Baili Yesu nodded and said softly: "Yes, it's her!" ”
As he spoke, he paused slightly, listened to the movement outside, and saw that there was nothing abnormal, so he continued: "My second imperial brother does not live in the prince's mansion all the year round, and runs to other courtyards every day, and after a long time, almost all the retainers know that he and my imperial sister-in-law are not in harmony. If you have a heart, you will take my second brother to participate in various banquets and visit the painting boat. One day, my second brother heard a woman's singing outside the painting boat, singing about the loneliness in the bustling city. Perhaps it was in line with the mood of my second imperial brother, and he immediately asked to see the woman. ”
Baili Ye Su said this, Yan Xiaoyi could already vaguely guess what happened next.
Sure enough, he continued: "You also saw the woman just now, her person has the same name as her, and she is really 'Allure'. Although my second brother has seen many women, a talented woman like her has unparalleled beauty, which can be described as one in a million. The second emperor brother immediately ransomed for the Allure City, and took it to another courtyard, giving him infinite favor! ”
"But", his brows frowned suddenly, as if he was a little helpless: "The news of the other courtyard quickly reached the ears of my second imperial sister-in-law through the ears of the informant. Seeing the second emperor brother soaking in the other courtyard day by day, and the news that she was pregnant in Allure, the second emperor's sister-in-law finally couldn't sit still. When she told her father about this, the old prime minister was furious and secretly gathered a group of henchmen to play the book of my second emperor's brother, saying that the flood control levee he had supervised in the Qinghe River was washed away by the flood, causing thousands of people on both sides of the Qinghe River to be displaced. ”
After a pause, he continued: "It is also said that my second emperor brother is obsessed with lust, which has brought bad atmosphere to the imperial court, and asked to abolish the crown prince. ”
Hearing this, Yan Xiaoyun frowned, and she couldn't understand Fang Xuanen's approach: "He asked to abolish the prince, what benefits can he get?" ”
Baili Ye Su smiled at her like a child: "How can he really abolish the crown prince, just let his henchmen act like a scare and scare my second imperial brother." This is not only me, but also my father. But my second emperor brother was really anxious at that time, and he was so busy with the performance of the ministers all day long that he couldn't even take care of the alluring city. ”
Although his eyes were transparent, there was a hint of helplessness, Yan Xiaoyan saw it in his eyes, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart about the intricacies of the royal family.
Baili Ye Su saw her expression clearly, paused and continued: "At this time, my second imperial sister-in-law proposed a remedy for the destruction of the embankment of the Qinghe River, and took the initiative to show goodwill, saying that the second imperial brother can take Chengcheng back to the prince's mansion, so that their husband and wife can return to harmony, and those outsiders can shut up." My second emperor brother has broken his heart for this matter, and when he saw that what the second emperor's sister-in-law said was reasonable, he took the initiative to show favor again, and agreed immediately. ”
Yan Xiaowei nodded and motioned for him to continue.
Baili Yesu leaned back in his chair: "It didn't take long for my second emperor brother to really take Allure back to the prince's mansion, and after he handed over Qinghe's remedy to my father, those ministers were really silent one by one, and the abolished prince would not be able to say anything." ”
When Yan Xiaoyan heard this, she couldn't help but wrinkle her eyebrows: "In that case, why is Allure not by His Royal Highness the Prince's side, but instead built a mountain villa in Nanling to be the owner, and said that he is from Ling Guo's side?" "I can't figure this out!
Baili Yesu listened to her words, also twisted his eyebrows, and continued: "I don't know anything else, I only know that after she returned to the prince's mansion with my second imperial brother, she was commensurate with my second imperial sister-in-law as a sister for a period of time, and she was very close, without the slightest jealousy that others were worried about. However, I don't know when it started, the subordinates of the prince's mansion began to spread rumors that she had a good appearance, but secretly did something unclean. When my father and mother heard this, they didn't like her very much, and later, when I heard that she had offended my second brother and was sent to another courtyard, there was no more news. ”
He twisted his eyebrows, as if he couldn't figure out anything, and sighed deeply: "Today is also the first time I have seen her after many years, and I have no way of knowing what happened during this period." It's just that I can't imagine that after so many years, even I have grown so big, and she is still as beautiful as she was at the beginning. Time, as if it had never stopped on her face. As he spoke, he shook his head puzzled and helplessly.
Yan Xiaowei also couldn't figure it out: "When was she assigned to another courtyard by His Royal Highness the Prince, when was it?" Do you still have an impression? ”
Baili Ye Su twisted his eyebrows and thought about it carefully: "It should be six or seven years ago, when I was just taken back to the palace from the temple, and I have been busy with my own affairs, and I don't care much about these things, but I have only heard about it slightly." I can't remember the exact time. ”
Yan Xiaoyun shook her head: "This is strange, Rong Xiu sent people to Nanling to explore that mysterious mountain villa." Judging from the information we have, that villa has existed for at least nearly twenty years, and you said that about six or seven years ago, Allure was still with His Royal Highness the Prince, so who was that villa under its jurisdiction at that time? ”
Baili Ye Su couldn't figure it out, he wrung his eyebrows, and his eyes suddenly flashed: "You mean, although this Allure is known as the lord to the outside world, there is someone else behind her?" ”
Yan Xiaowei nodded: "I think there is a chance that there will be. Nine is like this, you think, you just said, except for the maid who knows martial arts, there is no one in this courtyard who is secretly staring. If it is the real Lord, how can there be no one around to protect him? In my opinion, this woman is probably also doing things for others. As for whether she was for Ling Guo in her mouth or someone else, it was unknown. ”
Suddenly, something flashed in her mind, and she continued: "Moreover, when I met her in the capital before, it was about a few months ago. Half of her face was broken at that time, and I helped heal it. I guess it was something that happened during this period that led to this change. ”
As she spoke, she bit her lip and asked Baili Yesu, "You say, do we still want to continue to investigate?" I always felt like it was a bottomless pit, and the deeper I dug it. ”
Baili Ye looked at her with deep eyes, twisted his eyebrows for a while and said, "Check, of course you have to check!" However, you are too dangerous here, we have to find a way to inform Rong Xiu, and when he comes to save us, let him send a reliable person to pretend to be red, change you back, and then continue to investigate! ”
Yan Xiaoyan frowned: "Change me back?" Why? ”
Baili Ye Su pursed his lips, as if he was enduring some emotion, and secretly clenched his fists. When he spoke, his voice was very light, as if there was no trace of emotion: "Aren't you poisoned, seeing that time is passing day by day, if you can't find a way to detoxify, you will be in danger." Now this matter, anyone can continue to pretend to be with me to investigate, you still put your own business first. ”
Yan Xiaoyan frowned: "You mean to let me quit halfway?" She pursed the corners of her lips and said with some disbelieving: "I'm a person who has more contact with the woman in red clothes and the woman called Allure outside, are you sure that if you change to someone else, they won't find out?" ”
Baili Ye Su glanced at her lightly: "This matter is non-negotiable, even if it weren't for me, Rong Xiu would think so." Now in addition to this matter, your body is the most important, don't be reckless! ”
Yan Xiaowei pouted angrily, seeing that his eyes were pale and he looked like he had made up his mind, knowing that he had already made a decision, and it was useless to say anything by himself.
Thinking of Rong Xiu, her heart trembled suddenly, she could even imagine Rong Xiu frowning and bowing his head to "teach" her, she couldn't help but say that it had only been so long since she came out, and she actually missed him a little.
At this time, the bangzi outside knocked a few times, and Yan Xiaowei was excited, and instantly came back to her senses.
She stretched out her hand and pulled Baili Yesu's cuffs: "Your Highness the Nine, it's not too early, shouldn't you go back?" If the woman finds out, we're both finished! ”
Baili Ye Su nodded: "I know, I'll go back." With that, he got up from his chair and reached out to touch her head, but his palm swung in the air and finally he shook it lightly and withdrew it into his cuff.
He whispered to Yan Xiaoyi: "Then if you are wronged, you will pretend to be red for a while, and when you contact Rong Xiu, we will think about it in the long run." ”
"That's right", he turned around and wanted to leave, but suddenly turned back as if he thought of something and said to Yan Xiaoyi: "If according to your guess, there is really someone else behind this Allure, then she will definitely contact that person in the next days." Let's stay by her side, always pay attention to her movements, try to gather evidence, and strive to dig out the characters behind her as soon as possible! ”
Yan Xiaoyan nodded: "Don't worry, I know all this!" ”
She reached out and touched the latch of the door: "You go back first, if there is anything, let's discuss it quietly!" ”
As she spoke, she was just about to push open the door, when suddenly, a strange force suddenly attacked from outside the door!
The wooden door was suddenly kicked open vigorously from the outside, and it was about to crash into Yan Xiaowei who was standing at the door!
Baili Ye Su quickly reached out and pulled her behind her, and her originally faint eyes suddenly became fierce, straight towards the person outside the door!
When he saw the person standing outside the door, he was slightly stunned, twisted his eyebrows and asked coldly, "Heh, when did you come?" ”
Allure's already unparalleled beauty looks even more delicate and clear against the bright moonlight outside. The long black hair floated behind him like a waterfall, and the white clothes on his body looked even more pure and compelling, as if Chang'e fell from the sky, which made people dare not blaspheme.
However, her eyes swept over Yan Xiaoyun and Baili Yesu, and suddenly added a trace of yin owl, and the temperament of the whole person changed suddenly, like a ghost dressed in the coat of a fairy, inexplicably terrifying!
Yan Xiaowei was excited by her, poked her head out from behind Baili Ye Su, and asked calmly, "Why are you here?" ”
Allure narrowed his eyes coldly and smiled dangerously: "If I wasn't here, how would I know that you are all my old acquaintances!" One is a medical girl who has rejuvenated her hands, and the other is His Royal Highness Chaojiu, hehe, it's really dressed up, even I was almost fooled by the two of you! ”
The green sleeves behind her changed suddenly, staring at Yan Xiaoyu and Baili Yesu in front of her, the long sword in her hand flashed white, and she snorted coldly: "Lord, don't talk nonsense with the two of them!" What did Green Sleeves say? I just don't think there's something wrong with these two people! No matter how similar the tone and demeanor are, it is impossible to deceive me! ”
Yan Xiaowei couldn't help but twist her eyebrows, her identity was revealed so quickly, what went wrong?
Green Sleeves seemed to see what she was thinking, and couldn't help but snort coldly: "Heh, as soon as you entered the door just now, I felt that something was wrong with you." Hongyi has always been in contact with the Lord through Ah Xi, and she has never seen the Lord at all! But isn't it strange that you say that every time you see Him, you feel His beauty? ”
"Again", her gaze fell on Baili Yesu in front of Yan Xiaoyi: "You don't know, in fact, the person Ah Xi likes is the Lord, but a person's gaze can't deceive people, this Ah Xi you pretend, his eyes follow the woman behind you all the time!" This is the second doubt! ”
