"No news yet?"

At noon the next day, in the Shen Mansion in Chang'an, Shen Pearl was worried, and her chopsticks were tasteless, so she simply waved her hand to let the maid leave. In order to communicate with Feng Shengyi and other news, Shen Pearl did not return to the palace and temporarily lived in Shen's old residence in Chang'an. Since the Shen family returned to Wuxing, only one old family member was left in this house to take care of, and An Lushan was fortunately not disturbed after entering Chang'an City.

Feng Shengyi said: "We have followed the instructions of the princess and spread the word in Chang'an City, as long as the father and daughter of the Xue family are still in the city, they will hear it sooner or later, princess, please relax." ”

"Feng Yi," Shen Pearl suddenly called his real name, Feng Shengyi was a little in a trance, thinking that he had heard it wrong, and heard her say: "In your opinion, can my strategy succeed?" ”

Her strategy was to vote for Xue Song's love of power and power, and send her henchmen and others to spread remarks in the taverns, tea houses, and Dongfang West Market in the city, saying that the current saint knew that he had wronged Xue Song, and intended to reinstate Xue Song Zhaoxue.

If Xue Song was really instructed by Concubine Zhang Shu to falsely accuse Li Jiao, then Xue Hong's robbery of the prison should have been unexpected by her. However, the development of the situation, whether Xue Song can be recovered or not, is beneficial to Concubine Zhang Shu, and even if she gets He Lingyi to report at this time, most of them will not move. And if Xue Song gets the false news spread, he should think that Zhang Shufei has been pardoned from it, although Xue Hongxian is strong in martial arts, but if Xue Song can't bear the thought of power, most of them will not listen to Xue Hongxian, and he will definitely take action.

"Xue Song, who Feng knows, will never give up his official position easily, but it is really unpredictable when he will come out." Feng Shengyi replied after a little thought. It wasn't the first time he was so close to her, but today she sat in front of her, her eyes were quiet, but her face seemed to be covered with a light mist, and she couldn't see her joys and sorrows. Perhaps, it was the reason why he never dared to look upright. He was startled: he was thinking about something, and he was busy gathering his mind.

"Yes," Shen Pearl sighed, "We only have three days, three ......" She stood up and pondered sideways for a long time, looked back at Feng Shengyi, and said, "Your eyebrows are bright, but you seem to have a lot of confidence?" ”

Feng Shengyi shook his head and said with a smile: "Feng Mou just has confidence in His Royal Highness and the Princess, if the sky is like the Tang Dynasty, His Highness will definitely survive this catastrophe." ”

Shen Pearl was a little surprised: "I've known you for so long, I never thought that you would learn martial arts to have a destiny!" In fact, what you have done to help His Highness over the years can't be doing your best, if there is no personnel, how can there be a destiny! ”

Feng Shengyi said: "Because of this, Feng believes even more today that His Royal Highness is the destiny of heaven, and no one can hurt him." After a slight pause, he continued: "So the princess doesn't need to worry too much, Feng Mou saw that the princess didn't think about tea and dinner, and her appearance gradually became haggard...... I'm worried! When he said the last four words, his voice was inaudible.

Shen Pearl smiled lightly, "Are you comforting me?" Feng Shengyi was about to say no, but when he heard Shen Zhuzhu's tone change, he said quickly: "Feng Yi, can you tell me if His Highness has something to hide from me?!" ”

Feng Shengyi's heart was like a boulder, and he saw that Shen Pearl was staring at him for a moment, although his gaze was not scorching, but it was as clear as the moon, as if it could illuminate his internal organs. It is still his martial arts that amaze the world, he has been in the office for many years, and he has practiced the kung fu that Taishan has not changed color before the collapse of Mount Tai, and at this time, he can only secretly adjust his internal breath, and he will press his breath to the dantian, and at the same time, thousands of thoughts have been shaken in his mind.

He said: "The princess is so smart, although Her Royal Highness has state affairs that cannot be told to the princess one by one, but as far as his subordinates know, he has never deliberately concealed the affairs of the princess. ”

Shen Pearl stood there motionless, and only waved his sleeves for a while: "Okay, you can go back." ”

In the evening, Li Wan came to visit. Because Li Wan lived in Daming Palace, Shen Pearl specially sent the palace maid next to her to invite her out, just so that she could pay attention to the movements of Concubine Zhang Shu and others. When Li Wan learned the reason, she naturally agreed.

From this day to the change, there was still no news from Xue Song. Shen Pearl meditated the map of Chang'an City, waiting for news, until he fell asleep at the desk with no energy. And so the first day passed.

On the second day, Yan Ming came to report: Someone once saw a person who looked like Xue Song passing by outside the imperial city in the early morning; Almost all the post houses in Chang'an City have been checked, and no one with the appearance of Xue Hongxian and Xue Song has been found to stay; There are no anomalies at the gates. Yan Ming was very anxious, and his beard turned gray in two days. Li Wan brought out the news that Concubine Zhang Shu, Dugujing, and Li Puguo seemed to have no movement, and they just talked and laughed in the palace every day.

By the evening of the second day, Feng Shengyi, Chen Zhou, and Yan Ming all gathered in the Shen Mansion, and the deadline for the second day was approaching, and if Xue Song could not be found tomorrow, it would be too late. Everyone had not slept for two days and two nights, and they all added to the look of anxiety under the difficulty. Feng Shengyi said: "If Xue Song doesn't come out again, Feng can only go to Marshal Guo Ziyi tomorrow." "Guo Ziyi has a heavy army, and he has a good relationship with Li Jiao because of the joint attack on the rebels, so he has no choice but to make this decision.

Chen Zhou was so anxious that his teeth itched, and he only hated that he was powerless to turn Chang'an City upside down. In fact, with Xue Hongxian's ability, even if he turned Chang'an City upside down, Xue Hongxian would be able to escape with Xue Song.

Shen Pearl said: "There is only one person who can be fortunate now." ”

Fortunately, Xue Song should not have left Chang'an City yet! The news that was disseminated did have a role.

Chang'an City is too big, and it is too easy for Xue Hongxian and Xue Song to hide from being discovered. Chen Zhoudao: "It was found out that Xue Song had bought a private house in the city, but no one knew the specific location. ”

Shen Pearl said: "Xue Song is greedy, and those who are greedy must show off, I don't believe it, he hasn't mentioned the location of the private house to anyone!" As he spoke, he walked to the front of a few cases, hurriedly wrote a few words with a pen, and said to Yan Ming: "You quickly take my letter to Cheng Yuanzhen, ask him to do me a favor, and inquire about the flying dragon envoys in Zhunei one by one to see if anyone knows about the private house." ”

Yan Ming hesitated: "This Cheng Yuanzhen, but he is very close to Concubine Zhang Shu!" ”

Shen Pearl spoke quickly: "Don't underestimate that Master Cheng, he is meticulous in handling things, and he has a future for himself everywhere." I'm sure he'll help with that. Go quickly, don't delay. Speaking of this, he smiled slightly: "You have had an argument with him, so you must apologize to him more." Yan Ming promised that "a certain province can be obtained", and the person has rushed out.

The three of them left, Zhang Hanruo came to visit, and when he entered the room, he said: "Why is my sister not in the palace, but staying here, don't quarrel with His Highness?" Call me easy to find! "In the past two days, although Xue Song was searched and arrested in Chang'an City, the real reason was extremely secretive, except for a few important people in front of the emperor, the princes and ministers did not know that Li Jiao was temporarily detained in Daming Palace, and the situation in the DPRK and China may change dramatically.

The corners of Zhang Hanruo's mouth are slightly upturned when she speaks, her eyes are flowing, her bright beauty is amazing, she seems to be smiling at this moment, and the candle flame is half reflected on her cheeks, which can really be called Ambilight and brilliance. Shen Pearl sighed secretly in her heart.

Zhang Hanruo saw that Shen Pearl's complexion was gloomy, his heart suddenly burst, he stopped laughing, and said cautiously: "Don't I say it!" Changing the subject, he said: "My sister came to my house the day before yesterday to find the sister of the Xue family, because Xue Song was robbed." Speaking of Xue Song, it's all my fault! ”

Shen Pearl was taken aback: "What do you say?" ”

Zhang Hanruo frowned and said: "That day, I inadvertently mentioned that Xue Song was taken to Dali Prison, thinking that the sister of the Xue family had the intention of robbing the prison after hearing it. Now that Chang'an City has been turned upside down, although the Xue family's sisters are good at martial arts, they don't know if there is danger. If she comes to vote for me, I will find a way to protect her. ”

Shen Pearl acquiesced to Yan Ming's secret surveillance of Zhang Hanruo's mansion and others, and was somewhat worried that Zhang Hanruo would collect Xue Hongxian in private, but looking at today's situation, Zhang Hanruo didn't know anything about it, and the original hope in his heart was a little slim.

It was past the time to send Zhang Hanruo away, and the deadline was less than twelve hours. Shen Pearl knew that she could no longer sleep peacefully, so she ordered the maid to move the map of Chang'an City, and only spread a piece of rice paper on a few sheets.

Maybe there was something she didn't think of, or maybe she didn't want to.

Perhaps, that's the most important part of this.

So, what is it?

Her strategy is still "a little".

Just like the unfocused flying dragon, just a little, the flying dragon is in the sky.

She opened the west window, and the wind was blowing and the snow was flying. The world is so clean and pure, but every step of the way. Friends and foes, relatives and aliens, are always changing. How much can she control, and how can she hold on to it?

Her steps were vain, and her whole body was drained, but she had to pick herself up, she couldn't fall.

And she stood like that in front of the window, an hour, two hours......

What was she thinking? Maybe I didn't think about anything, maybe I thought about it for a thousand years.

She watched the night fade and watched the dawn light ignite inch by inch.

She finally pushed open the door and said, "Hurry up, Lord Feng Yi!" ”

When Feng Shengyi stood in front of her, she said categorically: "I don't care what method you use—you have to spread the news in Chang'an City as quickly as possible: Princess Guangping is in the Shen Mansion Mansion. ”

At that time, there was only one hour before Su Zong gave Shen Pearl a deadline.

Feng Shengyi's face was pale, and Chen Zhou kept pacing and scolding. Shen Zhuzhu's whole body was covered with cold sweat that penetrated his clothes, and his eyes were blackened, but he still sat strongly, gritted his teeth and said word by word: "Wait, maybe-"

Feng Shengyi stepped forward and said: "For today's plan, Feng will first invite Marshal Guo Ziyi-" Before Shen Pearl could answer, Chen Zhou grabbed Feng Shengyi's sword and blocked the way: "Ask others to do something!" His Royal Highness is not a person who is waiting to be killed, it is better to ......" Feng Shengyi glared at him, and stopped Chen Zhou's words: "Hugh is talking nonsense!" That formation was trying his best to stop Chen Zhou from what he wanted to say. Shen Pearl saw it in his eyes, and felt a little more sad, and waved his hand and said: "How many things you have to hide from me, I don't care, you can do as much as you like, let me be quiet for a while!" ”

"Boom", Yan Ming crashed into the room, staggered and stood unsteadily, his right hand flashed, and he pulled out his sword and hit the ground with a "bang", only then did he stabilize his figure, and reported intermittently: "Princess, we have found Xue Song's private residence——"

Shen Pearl stood up: "What! ”

"But, when we arrived, the building was empty." When Yan Ming said this, his feet were weak and he squatted to the ground. Although Cheng Yuanzhen promised to help, he found nothing last night. At noon today, an inner flying dragon envoy suddenly remembered that Xue Song and another inner flying dragon envoy named Zhao Yong had gotten along best recently, but Zhao Yong happened to be on duty for the past three days. Yan Ming inquired several times, and finally found Zhao Yong's house when it was almost dawn, and Zhao Yong led him non-stop around most of Chang'an City to find Xue Song's private house. However, in the end, it was a step too late, and although there were traces of habitation in the house, the people had already fled.

Shen Pearl sat down dejectedly, and before he sat down, there was a "report-" sound suddenly, and a Shujing Palace guard was covered in snow, and entered the room and knelt down head-on: "The news just came from the defenders of Jinguangmen, someone jumped over the city gate from the head of the city, and has now escaped from the city!" ”

Shen Pearl felt a sharp pain in her heart, only to feel that breathing was so easy, it was so difficult at this time, she heard someone in her ear shouting urgently, "Princess, Princess", the voice was near and far away, she was dazed as if in a dream, she propped up the back of the chair with one hand, the back of the chair was cold and heart-cold, her whole body suddenly froze, the mind suddenly returned, and the whole body did not know where to get some strength, but stood up steadily.

She looked at the anxious eyes of the three people in front of her one by one, and smiled reluctantly: "I'm fine." His gaze moved slowly, stopped suddenly, and asked, "What's the matter with you?" ”

The three of them were stunned, and when they looked at her, they saw a waiter standing in the corner of the room, and Shen Pearl was asking him. The waiter thought that he was here to report the matter, but he was stunned for a moment when he saw the critical situation of Shen Pearl's illness, and when he heard Shen Pearl call him, he still paced a few steps with a trembling mast, knelt down and replied: "Slave, slave and maid are here to report, someone outside is named to meet the princess, princess, do you see it or not?" ”

Chen Zhou slapped his thigh and scolded: "You eunuch, haven't you seen the princess unwell?" See what irrelevant guests! Suddenly, he saved his foul words, and hurriedly pleaded guilty to Shen Pearl: "Princess, a certain gaffe!" ”

Shen Zhuzhu's eyes flashed with a hint of light, and he said the word "please" lightly.

The chamberlain soon led the man in.

The man was tall, wearing a thick dark gray coat, enveloping his entire body, and his hat covered his face, revealing only a pair of eyes. The three of them looked up and down, and even held their blades secretly, for fear of an accident. The person who came into the room stood for a while, stared at Shen Zhuzhu's appearance, and then took off his big hat, threw the sword on his waist to the ground, knelt down and bowed to Shen Zhuzhu and said, "Please help me, princess!" ”

Shen Pearl let out a long sigh of relief.

It's really Xue Song. He's coming.

Shen Pearl tried her best to keep her tone solemn and calm, and asked, "How do you want this concubine to help you?" ”

Xue Song kowtowed and said, "What His Highness ordered Xue to do, Xue would never dare to disobey." The little girl Hong is now robbing the prison, not Xue's intention. Ask the princess to guide Xue to explain the truth of the matter in front of His Majesty, and Rong can be reinstated. ”

Shen Pearl guessed in his heart that it was all confirmed at this time. Seeing that Feng Shengyi and Chen Zhou had a look of surprise in their eyes, they didn't want to say anything superfluous at this time, but only waved their sleeves and said: "Okay, General Yan, you will take Xue Song into Daming Palace." Xue Song, what His Highness taught you that day, you just do what you say! He said to Feng Shengyi: "You all go, secretly protect General Xue, and send him to Daming Palace safely." ”

Xue Song was overjoyed and said yes.

Yan Ming agreed again and again, and asked suspiciously: "Why didn't the princess enter the palace?" ”

Shen Pearl slowly leaned in the chair and waved to everyone: "I'm tired, without further ado, you guys go quickly and don't miss the hour." I'll go back to Shujing Hall in a while. ”

"Princess," Feng Shengyi took a step forward as if he had something to say, but he saw that Shen Pearl had closed his eyes and looked extremely tired, so he had to retreat with Yan Ming and the others.

She was tired, very tired, very tired.

And so it came to pass.

The praying mantis catches the cicada, and the yellow finch is behind.

It turned out to be Li Li's mastermind.

Maybe the original thing is like this: Zhang Shufei designed Xue Song to falsely accuse Li Li, but Li Li learned the news and privately bribed Xue Song to be a "rebel" person. Once confronted by the palace, Xue Song will definitely retract his confession, accusing Zhang Shufei of "forced" him to frame Li Jiao. In this way, Concubine Zhang Shu is in danger, even if she throws out the scapegoat, she will be greatly injured and will no longer be trusted by Su Zong.

Only in this way can some things be explained: why Li Jiao was not as surprised as she was when she saw Xue Song's confession that day, and even had a sense of composure in it; Su Zong was furious and wanted to behead Li Jiao, why did Li Jiao forcibly hold her, and Li Yu would rush to stop her so coincidentally, presumably Li Jiao had already discussed with Li Yu.

A well-planned plan. Li Jiao didn't tell her, I think she was afraid that she would show her flaws. She was so anxious in the temple that day, she could help him hide the truth.

However, everything in the world is interlinked, and a single hair can move the whole body. This plan has a variable at the most critical point - Xue Song was accidentally robbed!

Feng Shengyi and Chen Zhou both knew about this plan. Fengsheng is dressed in the Criminal Department, and he must have his "credit" to buy Xue Song, and Chen Zhoudang is the main planner of this plan. Therefore, at the beginning, these two people were not particularly anxious, because buying Xue Song must have promised a great deal of high-ranking officials, and Xue Song would not give up. However, they all ignored one point - even if Xue Song wanted to return to the palace to "reinstate", he still needed someone to introduce him, he was a fugitive from Dali Prison, how could he dare to break into the palace or surrender by himself, and he was even more afraid that the "anti-intermittent" matter would leak and be "turned out" by Concubine Zhang Shu in private.

For Xue Song, the best introducer - since he was bought by King Guangping, the best introducer, in addition to the detained King Guangping, is naturally none other than the princess of King Guangping.

So, she finally waited for Xue Song's defection in the last hour.

What's next? How Xue Song would fight against Concubine Zhang Shu in front of Su Zong, she didn't want to know.

In this battle, she fought too hard.

She won, but she lost her joy.

With a smile on her face, she leaned back in her chair and remained motionless. I don't know how long it took, listening to the sound of the wind outside the window, the sound of snow falling, and the sound of the attendant's breathing, bit by bit, all into the bone marrow, I suddenly felt that my cheeks were moist, and I gently wiped them, and it turned out that I was already in tears.

"I finally broke off the father-daughter relationship with him." Five steps away, the delicate and free sound sounded melodiously like a piano playing.

Xue Hongxian's light skills were excellent, Shen Pearl shouldn't have been able to hear her footsteps entering the room, but when she closed her eyes, she had already heard Xue Hongxian when she entered the room. She seemed to be able to hear the slow and light flow of blood around her, the trembling of the snow in the mountains in the distance, and the hearty laughter of Sun Erniang, the grandson of Wu Xing's family......

She still didn't want to open her eyes, so she opened her lips and said, "I'm sorry, Hongxian." ”

Xue Hongxian sat on the windowsill, shaking his legs rhythmically, and said, "I never knew why Master wanted me to come to Chang'an, it turned out that he wanted me to save Xue Song." ”

"Did your master teach you to save him?"

"No, it's me. As soon as I heard that his life was in danger of being held in prison, I suddenly couldn't help but go to save him. Xue Hongxian pouted and shook his head to look at the sky, regardless of Shen Zhu's eyes still closed.

"That's because when you were in Chang'an, although you said that you had no father and daughter with him, he still showed mercy to your subordinates after all."

"However, today, since he has to choose to return to the palace, whether he lives or dies, it has nothing to do with me anymore."

"Hongxian, your master is really a peerless master." Shen Pearl closed her eyes and smiled suddenly.

"Sister Shen," Xue Hongxian exclaimed, "Your smile is so beautiful!" ”

"But," Xue Hongxian lowered his head again: "Why do I see your smile, my heart seems to be surging with all kinds of melancholy and sadness?" ”
