"Saburo...... After all, he is not such a ruthless person, if he really wants to cut off Ah Yuan's career, he will do that. ”

"So, the third brother is still merciful?"

"Ah Yuan is not the little eunuch of the year after all. In the two months that she didn't show up, you could see that the guards of the right prison were in chaos, some people in the Inner Servant Province were restless, or did the Inner Flying Dragon Soldiers follow Feng Shenwei's orders? ”

"I haven't been in Chang'an for the past two months, so I can't see it......" Princess Yuzhen said and snorted coldly, "But don't say anything else, the Inner Flying Dragon Soldiers are really strict, and today at the gate of the house, even I dare to stop them." Is this the order of the third brother, or the order of Feng Shenwei or Jing Zhong? ”

King Ning coughed lightly twice: "If I say that it is Ah Yuan's order, can you believe it?" ”

Princess Yuzhen glanced at the quiet sleeping face on the couch, and said softly, "When did she give the order?" ”

"What you should be asking me is, when did she change the order." Seeing that Princess Yuzhen was puzzled, King Ning said, "At first, San Lang sent the Inner Flying Dragon Soldiers to guard Ah Yuan's mansion, in order to be absolutely loyal to Ah Yuan. Not to mention that they are only responsible for guarding and thanking customers, even if they come in and see or know something, they will never say it. How could such a team of troops turn to obey Feng Shenwei and Jingzhong's orders when Ah Yuan was 'lying ill'? Saburo's previous order was just one more 'don't let Ah Yuan leave the house' than the guards and thank the guests. ”

“…… Third brother, this is considered a house arrest for Ah Yuan, right? ”

"San Lang was also very conflicted at that time, so he continued to help Ah Yuan hide her true identity, and at the same time began to prepare for Ah Yuan's recovery of identity, until one day, Ah Yuan successfully left the house and went to the diligent government building to find him."

"That's when Ah Yuan discovered the third brother's order and changed it? A team with such strict military discipline was even more loyal to Ah Yuan than to the Son of Heaven, and the third brother found out...... Does anyone else know about this? ”

King Ning understood what Princess Yuzhen meant, and shook his head: "The bystanders haven't known yet. What they saw was that Ah Yuan was sick, San Lang was very concerned and cared, and he couldn't wait to stay in Xiao Mansion every night, and Ah Yuan was going to return to San Lang to serve before he recovered, but he was driven home by San Lang. ”

"It is a mistake, and it has fulfilled Ayuan's deep affection for the monarch and ministers."

As for the matter of the Inner Flying Dragon Soldier, Ah Yuan had no other way but to let San Lang find out, although San Lang felt something at that time, he still couldn't take care of it. He just wants Ah Yuan to raise a baby with peace of mind, and then marry him smoothly, for which he can do anything. ”

"But if A-Yuan really recovers his identity and marries the third brother, they are one husband and wife, won't the matter of the Inner Flying Dragon Soldiers be solved?" Seeing that King Ning was noncommittal, Princess Yuzhen sighed lowly, "They are all like this, what else are they going to do to talk about love?" Shouldn't love be such a thing as abandoning all suspicions and simply and innocently existing between each other? ”

"Maybe that's how they fall in love." King Ning thought for a while and said, "Since the death of his mother and Empress Dowager Zhaocheng, San Lang has always longed for simple and innocent love. He had almost everything he wanted in his life, and this was the only one left. In fact, for so many years, with Ah Yuan, he has gotten it, but after all, he has not been satisfied, and now, Ah Yuan is going to take it back. ”

"The third brother is a man of temperament, I know, but Ah Yuan ...... Can her feelings really be said to be accepted? ”

"Only she knows."

"So what the eldest brother means is that Ah Yuan has the ability to protect herself, whether it is public or private, the third brother will not easily touch her. After all, Ah Yuan's loyalty to him is something that everyone else doesn't have. ”

"Perhaps it should be called 'loyalty'. As long as Ah Yuan does not change to San Lang for a day, San Lang will not give up her as a courtier for a day. Seeing that the atmosphere was getting heavier and heavier, King Ning smiled gently, "What's more, there are so many couples in the world who are separated from each other, and there is no shortage of good gatherings and separations, and there is no break?" ”

Princess Yuzhen frowned: "...... Are they like this, and they are also called gathering and dispersing? ”

Xiao Jiangyuan is so dangerous, he injured 1,000 enemies and lost 800 himself, even if he wins, it is just a miserable victory, not to mention Li Longji, who lost. There are many ways to break off love, but they invariably choose the most tragic one, leaving no room for turnaround.

King Ning didn't answer again, but said, "Ah Yuan has just woken up, and you have to worry about Yun Niang's funeral." ”

"That's natural, I have a heart-to-heart relationship with Yun Niang after all." Princess Yuzhen couldn't help but have red circles in her eyes, "It's a pity that Yun Niang ......"

King Ning looked at Xiao Jiangyuan on the couch and found that although her eyes were closed, a tear flowed from the corner of her eye.

It was the first time he had seen her cry - it turned out that she would cry too.

Lu Yunniang's death made her completely fall into the red dust and become a living person.

He knew she wasn't asleep, and he knew what Fang Cai said, and she heard it.

He didn't think she would be shaken by that, but he thought there were things she should know.

Maybe he's doing it too much, she doesn't need his advice, everything can be understood. He just wants to be worthy of his heart, after all, no matter how he understands her, she is also a layman in this world, and she is coerced by family affection after all.

All his life, it was like this.

Soon after leaving the Xiao Mansion, King Ning fell ill.

Among Li Longji's peers, only Li Shouli, the son of Li Xian, the prince of Zhanghuai, and Li Xian, the king of Ning, are still alive. They are a few years older than Li Longji, and even if the doctor diagnosed King Ning as fine for the time being, Li Longji was still worried and often came to the door.

When he was older, the third brother was as sticky as he was a child, King Ning couldn't cry or laugh, he couldn't stay for a while, and he didn't drive him away, so he had to say: "San Lang might as well quickly compose that extraordinary tune, I have waited for my brother for many years, and I really want to listen to it in its entirety." ”

King Ning's words were half-true, but Li Longji firmly believed that he should return to Xingqing Palace to retreat.

At the same time, Lu Yunniang's funeral was carried out under the instruction of Xiao Jiangyuan, and it was extremely glorious.

She forced herself to get better as soon as possible and took all this from Princess Yuzhen's hands.

She hadn't been seen for two months. The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty didn't think anything about it at first, but recently they saw that Li Longji hadn't climbed the door of Xiao's house for half a month, and there were more speculations. Some said that she was not lightly ill, some said that she had lost the favor of the Son of Heaven, and it was not Xiao Jiangyuan who had been sick for many days as rumored to have died, but her wife Mrs. Lu, who was even more puzzled, and they didn't know whether to go to this funeral for a while.

It was Li Linfu who arrived at Xiao Mansion first to pay respects, and the ministers came to the door one after another. The few people in front saw Yuan Siyi and Feng Shenwei standing respectfully beside Xiao Jiangyuan, and the deputy general of the right prison guard also planned to personally carry the coffin for Mrs. Lu, even if he understood something. Only two days later, the procession that came to send the worship extended three miles from the gate of Xiao's house.

Everyone only said that Mrs. Lu was to take care of Xiao Jiangyuan's sick body, and she was overworked and contracted the disease. Now that Xiao Jiangyuan has recovered from his illness, Mrs. Lu has gone, it is really unfortunate to see a lover.

Hearing too many words like "flounder love", Xiao Jiangyuan also got into the play a little: "This kind of pain, it is enough to experience it once in a lifetime, and after that, I will not marry another wife." ”

Everyone who heard the hearing sighed, but Princess Yuzhen asked, "Then you plan to be lonely all your life, so that she will worry about you under the Nine Springs?" ”

But seeing Xiao Jiangyuan think about it, he said, "I'm not lonely. ”

It wasn't until the eve of Lu Yunniang's burial that Li Longji arrived at Xiao's house in a small suit.

At this moment, the flying dragon soldiers have all evacuated, and the distinguished guests who came to the door during the day have also returned home, even Princess Yuzhen has returned to her Taoist temple, and in the entire house, except for Jing Zhong, Han Si and a few small servants who are sprinkled and swept are in their respective houses, only Xiao Jiangyuan and Li Longji are left.

The candles in the mourning hall were brightly lit. Xiao Jiangyuan, dressed in sackcloth, bowed solemnly to Li Longji, but listened to Li Longji say lightly:

"I'm just ashamed of Yun Niang, not for anything else."

"Yes."

"When the funeral is over, you will come back as soon as possible. Those notes still have to go through your eyes, and this period of time is all handed over to Li Shilang, and I can't be completely relieved after all. ”

"Obey."

Li Longji was speechless.

The tone of their conversation was unexpectedly normal.

It's as if nothing had happened.

In fact, as early as the first time he came to the door, Li Linfu had already agreed with Xiao Jiangyuan, as long as she returned, everything would still be the same as the old story.

Although he didn't know why, Xiao Jiangyuan's children were gone, but just looking at Li Longji's anger and still didn't treat Xiao Jiangyuan, he knew that Xiao Jiangyuan's road was still long. For the sake of the election of officials, she already saw that she was a little unpleasant, so she still helped her and saw each other in the future.

Xiao Jiangyuan was neither polite nor grateful for this. This was the power in her hands, but now she is just taking it back.

However, she can turn a blind eye to Li Linfu for the time being, as long as he doesn't go too far.

As for Jing Zhong, it was not until four months later that he recovered, but he could no longer walk like a normal person.

His leg was a little lame, and despite his efforts to control his body, the disability was still noticeable.

Xiao Jiangyuan only glanced at it, and then said: "The Ministry of Internal Service has set up an official office in the East Palace, and from now on, you will start again from the bottom in the East Palace." I'll send someone to see you there tomorrow, and if you have any luggage, remember to pack it tonight. ”

As soon as she finished speaking, she turned to leave, and listened to Jingzhong's urgent call:

"Master!"

She paused: "From now on, I am no longer your master." ”

She walked very decisively, so she couldn't see how complicated Jingzhong's eyes were when she looked at her back, and how burning her eyes were. She didn't hear it, Jing Zhong spoke in a low voice, and his throat seemed to be torn by something:

"You never knew that you spoke as lightly as a feather, but to me, it was as heavy as Mount Tai. But from now on, I won't listen to you anymore. ”

The swan song of the Tang Dynasty
