[Chapter 18: Is It Right or Evil] (1)
When the sound of horses' hooves was far away, Xiao Jiangyuan straightened up, went to change into official clothes first, and then quietly climbed over the wall while everyone in the mansion was not awake. Outside the wall is the street that runs through the east and west cities of Chang'an, at the moment the curfew, empty, Xiao Jiangyuan looked directly opposite the west market - Princess Taiping's mansion was actually diagonally opposite Shangguan Wan'er.
Before Shangguan Wan'er entered the palace, she also told her to go out less, so as not to be seen by the people of the Princess Zhenguo Mansion and cause trouble, but now she has to send it to the door by herself. Thinking of the reason, Xiao Jiangyuan couldn't help but sigh and felt helpless.
She walked to the door of the aconite, and was about to knock on the door when she heard a conversation coming from inside. She listened to the content for a moment, and after listening silently for a while, she finally knocked on the door. However, the first and second time, it was silent, and no one answered.
She couldn't help but shake her head and smile, and said simply: "Slave Xiao Jiangyuan, there are 100,000 urgent matters, I want to see Princess Taiping!" β
After a while, I only heard an eager "A-Niang-" inside, and Princess Taiping's calm voice sounded slowly: "Let her in." β
The door immediately opened, and Xiao Jiangyuan walked in quickly. Princess Taiping saw the person clearly by the moonlight, and raised her eyebrows slightly: "It's really you...... It seems that Wan'er still picked you up privately. β
Xiao Jiangyuan's eyes were slightly rippling, but his face did not change, and he immediately knelt down and said: "In this autumn of Cheng's critical survival, I hope the princess will help!" β
Seeing that Xiao Jiangyuan didn't continue to talk about this topic, but reacted like this, Princess Taiping couldn't help but be stunned: "Tell me, how is it in danger?" β
Xiao Jiangyuan straightened up and knelt on the slightly cool stone brick floor: "The princess didn't sleep late at night, but at this main gate, her hair was slightly messy, her clothes were disheveled, and there were government soldiers around her, so she must know who had just passed, right?" β
Princess Taiping unconsciously pulled her hair, tucked her sleeves again, and looked away indifferently: "I don't know anything." β
Xiao Jiangyuan seemed to have known that Princess Taiping would say this, and said to himself: "The prince took Zuo Yulin's general Li Duozuo, led more than 300 forbidden troops, Haohao Tangtang went to Wu Sansi's mansion, claiming to kill the traitor to the side of the Qing monarch, and heard that Li Qianli, the general of Zuo Jin Wuwei, helped the prince occupy the various palace gates of Daming Palace, doesn't the princess feel familiar with this situation?" β
Princess Taiping's expression was slightly restrained: "...... Why should I feel familiar? β
Xiao Jiangyuan sighed secretly and said bluntly: "In the coup d'Γ©tat in the first month of the first year of Shenlong, didn't the saint also kill the Zhang brothers and guard the gates of the palace at the same time, and then come to the Hall of Eternal Life?" β
"Presumptuous!" Princess Taiping said angrily, "What a disrespectful little eunuch, come here, drag it down, and the rod will be punished for twenty!" β
"Wait!" Xue Chongjian hurriedly stopped the road, and seeing that his mother's face was cold, he turned around and said hurriedly, "You know that A-Niang is ...... you Why did you deliberately want to annoy her? β
"Don't worry, if the slave and maid only know how to kneel and beg, bitter and bitter, and show loyalty, I am afraid that the princess will not even bother to talk to the slave and maid about a few words." Although Xiao Jiangyuan's words were said to Xue Chongjian, her eyes looked at Princess Taiping nakedly.
Princess Taiping was accustomed to Xiao Jiangyuan's usual smiling and harmless pretending virtue, and she was disgusting, but now this is the first time she has seen her so straightforward, but she became interested: "You know me better than my son." β
"Slaves and maids are not talented, but they are good at observing words and feelings, and they are just doing their duty." Xiao Jiangyuan was clearly humble in his words, but he did not deny Princess Taiping's words.
Princess Taiping looked at Xiao Jiangyuan's face and said, "What do you want to do when you come here tonight?" β
Xiao Jiangyuan let her look at it, and his expression was as usual: "The slave just wants to ask the princess to do the slave a favor." β
"You want to save the saint?"
"So to speak."
"If I do you this favor, you will be able to save the saint?"
Xiao Jiangyuan thought for a while, pursed his lips and smiled: "Almost." β
After being silent for a long time, Princess Taiping suddenly asked, "Have you ever watched "Warring States Policy"? β
Seeing that Princess Taiping was talking about him left and right, but obviously had a follow-up message, Xiao Jiangyuan couldn't help but think of Shangguan Wan'er who was far away in Daming Palace. She replied, "Yes." β
"On the May section of the Chuwei Yongshi clan, what did the Empress Dowager of Qin Guoxuan say to the Korean envoy Shang Jindu?"
Xiao Jiangyuan thought for a while and said: "The concubine was also the king before, and the first king was a concubine with his body, and the concubine was not tired; is placed above his concubine, and the concubine is heavy, why not? With its less, it is advantageous. Now in Sahan, there are not many soldiers and not much food, so it is not enough to save Han. The husband saves Han's danger, and he spends a lot of money every day, and he must not make the concubine less profitable. After a pause, he smiled lightly, "It turns out that Princess Taiping is not beneficial?" β
"I'll help you and let you complete the rescue work, don't you sound ridiculous yourself? If I am willing to do it, why bother to work hard, but in the end I will make your wedding clothes? β
"It is precisely because the princess can't do it that the slave is willing to do it for her. As soon as this matter comes out, the prince wins, if he loses, even if the princess doesn't do anything, the saint can't guarantee that he will be suspicious, if the princess really intervenes, even if it is to save the driver, but when the time comes into the eyes of the saint, it is inevitable that it will not be seen as a ...... Defection. β
"So, even if I do you a favor, no one will know that I did it? You're here to make fun of me? β
"Slaves don't dare! Slaves and maids have always been graceful with dripping water, and springs are reciprocated, and they never owe anyone anything. The princess's vision is far-reaching, and it will not stop there. β
"The grace of dripping water, the spring reciprocates......" Princess Taiping tasted it carefully and chuckled, "I haven't seen you repay Wan'er Yongquan." β
"Soon." Xiao Jiangyuan's face was calm and composed, but his smile revealed a little embarrassment, "Actually, Princess Taiping doesn't need to do anything, the slave maid is here just to borrow a horse." β
Fang just said so much, and it turned out that she just wanted to borrow a horse?
Princess Taiping couldn't help but be even more annoyed: "What can a horse change?" β
"What the slave wants to borrow is not an ordinary horse, but a thousand miles of good horses." Xiao Jiangyuan sighed helplessly, "It's all to blame for the short legs and slow legs of the slave maid, if there is no horse, even if the slave and maid want to do anything, it will be too late." β
Princess Taiping sneered: "You are a little eunuch, it's not bad if you don't make trouble for me, can you repay me?" β
"Although the eunuch is small, he has always been the closest person to the high-ranking person. If the slave and maid do not succeed in this trip, they will die a clean death and will never leave trouble for the princess, but if the slave and maid will succeed in this trip, the slave and maid will have the qualification and weight to speak in front of the saint, and if the saint is suspicious, the slave and maid will ......"
"It's not like there is no one to help me, why do you need to come?"
But only the words of the courtiers were believed, but the saints did not dare to believe them. The sage treats the king and the princess, just as when the queen of heaven thought about who would be the prince of the Li Wu family, swaying left and right, hesitating, at this time, someone needs to make a decision for the sage, and even make a decision. The slave is willing to repay the princess for her kindness. β
The commanders of the princess's army had already lowered their heads any longer, wishing they hadn't heard anything. Xue Chongjian looked at Xiao Jiangyuan, only to feel that he had never known her, and when he thought about it, he felt that it should be like this, but she was the person next to Empress Zetian, so where could she go?
It's just that...... Such a Xiao Jiangyuan, does my cousin know?
Princess Taiping also looked at the little eunuch in front of her steadily. Although she knelt, her waist was straight, her eyes were clear and straight to people's hearts, and her smile was as usual without emotion. Princess Taiping suddenly understood, why did A-Niang value this little eunuch so much - A-Niang looked at her, was she looking at her former self?
Although it is not a complete image, it is rare to have a little or two points of resemblance.
Princess Taiping sighed: "That day, I saw you shrink in front of the saints, looking overwhelmed, and asked yourself to guard the mausoleum, and brushed Li Bao'er's face in public, I also said that I had mistaken you, thinking that you were really a loyal person." But now it seems that you are willing to follow Wan'er back to Chang'an from Qianling, and you want to go back to the palace to attract the attention of the sage, so contradictory, I can't see through you. As he spoke, he slowly walked in front of Xiao Jiangyuan, squatted down and looked directly into her eyes, "Are you evil, loyal or traitor?" β
Xiao Jiangyuan did not avoid Princess Taiping's gaze, and said calmly: "Is this important for the princess?" β
"There is no absolute good and evil in the world, and there is no absolute loyalty and treachery. It doesn't matter to me, but it does to some people. β
The princess was wrong. Although it is difficult to distinguish between good and evil, loyalty and treachery are known at a glance, but some people refuse to believe it. β
Princess Taiping lowered her eyes and chuckled, and after standing up, Shi Shiran said: "Speaking of which, why didn't Wan'er come with you, if she is here, why do you need to spend so much tongue?" β
She ...... Also in the Daming Palace. β
Princess Taiping said angrily: "Why didn't you say it earlier? β
"The slave maid thought ...... The princess should know. β
Princess Taiping ignored Xiao Jiangyuan again, turned her head to Xue Chongjian and said, "Quick, take her to fetch the horse, and let her go directly through the side door, so as not to go far!" β
Until she rode on a good horse, Xiao Jiangyuan was still a little funny in her heart - her tongue was like a lotus, but it was not as effective as Shangguan Wan'er's four words.
"Ah Yuan...... Xiao Neishi, you go alone, okay? Xue Chongjian was leading another horse and asked with his head up.
Xiao Jiangyuan only glanced at it, and then understood what Xue Chongjian meant, and smiled slightly: "Guogong still listens to the princess more, this matter is ...... The Princess Zhenguo Mansion is indeed not suitable for meddler. β
"But now it's meddling."
"Guogong is talking about this horse?" Xiao Jiangyuan said with a smile, "This was picked up by a slave from the street, and was accidentally killed by the prince's subordinates." β
Xue Chongjian is not stupid, so he naturally understands what Xiao Jiangyuan is referring to. After being silent, he finally smiled clearly, as before: "It seems that Xiao Neishou has already known in his heart, if I go, I am afraid that I will cause trouble, so I will not send it, and I hope that Xiao Neishou will cherish himself and have a safe journey." β
Xiao Jiangyuan was a little stunned in his heart - Xue Chongjian did not wish her success immediately, nor did he ask her to save the saint, but let her be safe. Was he trusting his abilities too much, thinking that as long as she was alive, the matter would definitely work out, or did he finally figure out the meaning of what Princess Taiping said?
Loyalty, sincerity; Sincerity, heart. One man has it for one king, and one man has it for one country. The country is there, whoever is the king, all are loyal, and they are loyal; The country is broken, who is the king, he is still loyal, and he is also loyal.
