"What did you say?!" Ge Fushun immediately straightened up, shocked and angry.

Because Li Longji was in the way, Cui Riyong couldn't see the person who spoke. He turned his head sideways, wanting to see who that person was, and saw Xue Chongjian, who was on Li Longji's right, moving down a position and coming out. The man got up from behind Li Longji and walked out, and sat between Li Longji and Xue Chongjian. Cui Riyong first narrowed his eyes, rubbed his eyes, and then looked at them carefully, and then said in disbelief: "You...... Are you Xiao Neishang?! ”

A wave has not settled, and another wave has risen. Xiao Jiangyuan's words were surprising and unresolved, and her identity immediately made everyone in an uproar - which Xiao Nei is there in the world now?

Wang Chongye also suddenly understood why he had always felt that Xiao Jiangyuan was familiar since he first met. He is still dressed in royal clothes, although he often enters the palace, he rarely enters the inner court, and only sees Xiao Jiangyuan a few times from afar. As for Cui Riyong, his impression of Xiao Jiangyuan was still stuck in the reign of Empress Zetian.

At that time, Xiao Jiangyuan was wearing loose clothes that did not fit, and stood silently in the nearest place to Empress Zetian's side, his small body was very thin, but his waist was as straight as a green pine. She always lowered her eyes very politely, and a smile on her lips that was most appropriate. At this time, her figure had grown, a little more upright and plump than before, at least her clothes were propped up. Other than that, it seems to be no different.

Cui Riyong felt at first that Xiao Jiangyuan had changed a lot, especially when she had always been silent, she would open her mouth at this moment, and she still said such terrifying and rebellious words. He looked at her fixedly, and felt that she was originally such a person, but he had no chance to see her like this.

Looking around at everyone's expressions, Xiao Jiangyuan was sure in his heart. Seeing that Li Longji pursed her lips, when she was about to speak, she hurriedly reached out and pulled down Li Longji's sleeve, and at the same time arched her hand and said: "Slave Xiao Jiangyuan, small word crow slave, the inner servant is in the province, I have seen you." ”

The other people were still a little unconvinced, but when they saw that Xiao Jiangyuan had admitted it himself, they looked embarrassed. Everyone looked at each other, whether it was Liu Youqiu, who only raised his eyebrows slightly after hearing what Xiao Jiangyuan said, or Ge Fushun, who had always been puzzled, a question couldn't help but emerge in their hearts - why did Xiao Jiangyuan appear next to King Linzi?

It's a question that they can't ask. On weekdays, seeing Li Longji is very unusual to Xiao Jiangyuan, and when it comes to Xiao Jiangyuan's former identity, the relationship between the two of them is not obvious enough, and it is better not to ask. It's just that...... Xiao Jiangyuan has been involved in this coup, is it ...... Not quite right?

Liu Youqiu and Cui Riyong were thinking about how to speak, and Ge Fushun, who had a simple idea, couldn't hold it back: "Are you really Xiao Neifu?" Is it the Xiao Nei who used to be the face of Empress Zetian, and later became the face of Princess Anle, and then disappeared, so that Princess Anle was easy to find? ”

The atmosphere was suddenly a little awkward. Liu Youqiu turned his eyes to look away, Cui Riyong helped his forehead, Wang Chongye rolled his eyes, Chen Xuanli coughed lowly, and Purun looked at Xiao Jiangyuan with a little blank eyes.

Li Longji and Xue Chongjian glanced at each other, and they both looked at Xiao Jiangyuan funny, only to see that her expression was not shocked, and she smiled faintly, and said: "The slave maid is indeed Xiao Jiangyuan, who was once graced by Empress Zetian and served by Empress Zetian's side, but she has nothing to do with Princess Anle. ”

Ge Fushun ignored Chen Xuanli's low cough and said, "But...... Princess Anle ...... to you"

Xiao Jiangyuan was still smiling, and said as a matter of course: "That's Princess Anle's business, and it has nothing to do with the slave maid, isn't it?" ”

Thinking about it this way, they have indeed never heard that Xiao Jiangyuan has had any response to Princess Anle's favor, and even when Empress Zetian was buried in the Qianling Mausoleum, she also asked herself to guard the tomb in public and refused Princess Anle. However, under the melon field and plums, just in case, it is still necessary to let Xiao Jiangyuan avoid suspicion.

Liu Youqiu was just about to give up his hand to speak, when he heard Ge Fushun say again: "...... That's right, too. Forget it, you are. I only ask you, what you just said about Empress Wei and Princess Anle killing the first emperor, is it true or false? ”

Liu Youqiu silently put down his hand - now is indeed not the time to care about Xiao Jiangyuan, fortunately, Ge Fushun is simple and straightforward, and he has replaced his inverted cart before the horse. He finally understood why Li Longji used people like Ge Fushun at the same time as a conspirator like himself. At first, he thought that the generals were as good as Chen Xuanli, and it would be good for Ge Fushun not to make mistakes, but at this moment, he realized how accurate his current lord was and how good he was to use people.

Following him is really the most correct choice in his life.

There are priorities, and it's not too late to talk about Xiao Jiangyuan's matter later.

Xiao Jiangyuan smiled slightly, and said solemnly: "I don't know what you think, why did the slave maid give up her good future and escape from the palace with her bare hands, and why did Princess Anle go to such great lengths to find the slave and maid with such great fanfare?" Do you really think that Princess Anle loves slaves and maids like that? She chuckled, and continued, "It's just because the slave sees something she shouldn't see." ”

"Shouldn't you see it?" Wang Chongye originally chuckled in his heart, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was wrong. Not to mention that Xiao Jiangyuan has been in the Five Kings' Mansion for a while, how could she see the scene of Empress Wei and Princess Anle being killed, even if she saw it, Princess Anle should have found out about looking for her like that, and since she had found out, how could she give her a chance to escape from the deep palace, and she should have been solved a long time ago.

Xiao Jiangyuan said: "Do you still remember Yang Jun? ”

Cui Riyong thought about it for a while and said, "Guanglu doctor Yang Jun is good at cooking, and often enters the palace to prepare food for the first emperor. Didn't Xiao Neishou say that the first emperor was killed by Empress Wei and Princess Anle, and this matter is still related to Yang Jun? ”

Xiao Jiangyuan nodded: "In the past year or so, the first emperor has become fatter and fatter, and no matter how the Shang Pharmacy advises him, he still refuses to obey and continues to eat those foods that are not suitable for his body, and those foods are all from Yang Jun, and Yang Jun was found by Empress Wei for the first emperor. ”

Liu You begged: "Xiao Neishou found out about the collusion between Empress Wei and Yang Jun? ”

"Exactly."

"Then why is Xiao still alive until now?"

Because at that time, Empress Wei had not yet found out. This matter is very important, and the slave and maid naturally have to report it to the first emperor. The first emperor was furious, but because of his old promises, he refused to abandon Empress Wei, and only wanted to punish him. In this way, the slave maid was only afraid that her life would not be guaranteed, so she asked the first emperor to let the slave and maid out of the palace to meet with the king of Chen, in case of emergency, so that on the eve of the Shangyuan Festival, she was able to pretend to be a palace maid and escape from the palace. ”

Ge Fushun was surprised: "It turns out that the first emperor let the palace maid out of the palace, not only to play, but also to release you?" ”

Xiao Jiangyuan did not deny: "Although lucky and unlucky, Empress Wei still knew, so in the name of Princess Anle's love for slaves and maids in the past, she searched for slaves and maids in Chang'an. ”

Seeing Liu Youqiu nodded, Xiao Jiangyuan continued: "Later, when I thought it was the first emperor's punishment, Empress Wei refused to accept it, and when asked about the crime, I knew that the first emperor already knew everything about himself, and in order to prevent the first emperor from settling accounts again in the future, he simply did not do anything, killed the first emperor, and established himself as the emperor. You can think about it, since the death of the first emperor, what Empress Wei has done, you can understand one or two. ”

Cui Riyong said: "Princess Anle has long stopped searching for Xiao Neishi, I don't know why Xiao Neishou didn't leave Chang'an and go to find King Chen?" ”

Xiao Jiangyuan said: "Because that's just an expedient measure for slaves." The slave maid decided to leave the palace, and she was originally going to come to the king of Linzi. ”

"Oh?"

"In the first year of Shenlong, Empress Zetian abdicated the throne and lived in Shangyang Palace, the eastern capital. At that time, she was quite fond of the five sons of the Prime Minister, and let them live in Shangyang Palace to enjoy the joy of family, but is there such a thing? ”

"Yes."

Among them, the Empress Zetian's favorite is the King of Linzi, who has praised him several times for his young and promising. At the same time, Empress Zetian was very worried about the future of the Tang Dynasty, and seemed to have expected that Empress Wei would have today's actions, so she once said to the slave maid that the Tang Dynasty needed a generation of male masters to save Sheji. After thinking about it, the slave maid always felt that what Empress Zetian said was the king of Linzi, so since the first emperor ascended the throne, no one followed, but now she has abandoned everything and is loyal to Ah Lang. ”

After a moment of silence in the room, Purun folded his hands and sighed, "Amitabha." ”

Li Longji touched the back of his hand lightly to the tip of his nose and pursed his thin lips, as if he couldn't help it, laughter would burst out - Xiao Jiangyuan's lie was told, and even he almost believed it.

Ge Fushun and Wang Chongye were both indignant, angrily accusing Empress Wei and Princess An Le of being extremely evil, but Cui Riyong and Liu Youqiu always felt weird. They glanced at each other, and for a moment there was a flash of inspiration in their minds, the former looked at Xiao Jiangyuan with a very surprised gaze, and the latter looked as if he had never known Xiao Jiangyuan.

They all chose to remain silent, after all, it was such a big crime as killing the king, killing the husband and killing the father, which was not only enough to pull Empress Wei and Princess Anle off the horse, but also allowed them to recruit more soldiers and horses when they acted. In this way, they are not rebels, but righteous teachers who kill traitors and support the Tang Dynasty!

There are advantages and disadvantages to this, and the sword is out of the edge, which is frightening.

It wasn't until everyone left the Five Kings' Mansion after discussing that Xue Chongjian digested what Xiao Jiangyuan had just said. He made it very clear about the causes and consequences of his words, but he was still a little confused: "Ah Yuan, you just said so much, but there is not a single word that clearly explains whether what you said is true or false. It's hard to ......"

Xiao Jiangyuan smiled silently, and turned his eyes to look at Li Longji. I saw that Li Longji seemed to let go of the big stone in his heart, and stretched his waist very stretched.

"Is it true or not, is it that important?" After saying this, Li Longji got up and walked out of the study, walking with a chic and arbitrary back.

The swan song of the Tang Dynasty
