"Second cousin, what are you doing here?!" Without waiting for Xiao Jiangyuan to react, Li Ye had already knelt on one knee and supported Xue Chongjian.

Xiao Jiangyuan calmly turned sideways to avoid it, and then bowed to Xue Chongjian again: "Why is the king so polite, if you have any orders, tell the slave and maid directly." ”

Looking at Xiao Jiangyuan's unchanged smile, Xue Chongjian only felt that everything that had been good was like yesterday, and it was even more painful today. He suddenly became a little angry, everyone is changing, why can she only do the same, in his eyes over the years, so many things are inseparable from her, why does she seem to stay out of things? For a while, the decadence that had been watered by the liquor for a long time waved a little deep mockery: "Xiao Neijian is so smart, don't you understand, why did Chongjian do this heavy ceremony?" ”

Li Ye frowned when he heard this, and turned his head to look at Xiao Jiangyuan - how could it seem that there was something about Ah Yuan that he didn't know?

Noticing Li Ye's clear and simple gaze, Xiao Jiangyuan felt that his heart was soft, so he put away the soft nails, and said gently: "The king said that he had something to ask for, and he made this great gift, which naturally means that this matter is extraordinary, and I am afraid it will not be easy to do." But the slave maid is just a four-grade eunuch, if there is really something extraordinary and worthy of such a great gift from the king, how can he ask for the slave maid? ”

Xue Chongjian gritted his teeth and smiled sadly: "Because I am desperate." ”

Li Ye was already uncomfortable when he saw his second cousin, who was so sparse and smiling in the past, but now he looked so depressed and silent, and when he heard him say this, he almost cried: "Second ...... Second cousin, what the hell is going on? Ah Yuan is right, no matter how powerful she is, her status is there, and there are many things that can be helpless, or you can tell me too, no matter what happens, I will definitely help you! ”

Xue Chongjian glanced at Li Ye with both gratitude and pity: "You can't interfere in this matter," he said and faced Xiao Jiangyuan and bowed deeply, "Ask Xiao Neijian to help me get out of the palace." ”

"What?" Li Ye hurriedly picked up Xue Chongjian again, puzzled, "I thought what was the matter, second cousin, you are too fussful, you want to go out of the palace, can't you just say hello to the third brother?" He let you enter the palace because you were kicked out of the house by your aunt, one is to have a place to live, and the other is to support you, and he doesn't want to lock you up! ”

Xue Chongjian's eyes darkened: "...... Have you not asked him to me? I have begged him, I have begged the emperor, the concubine, and the queen. He persuaded me at first, but after a few times, he simply avoided talking about it, and even refused very simply; The emperor refused to even see me, but sent a eunuch out to tell me that everything was up to the saints; Not to mention the concubine and the queen...... Gorou, did you know you guessed right? ”

Li Ye's eyes widened instantly: "This ...... How is this possible? ”

Xue Chongjian raised his eyes and looked at Xiao Jiangyuan: "If you don't believe it, just look at Xiao Neijian's face, no matter what I say, her expression has never changed in the slightest, obviously she has long known what I came to find her." ”

Regarding Xue Chongjian's intention, Xiao Jiangyuan was indeed not surprised. The emperor personally mentioned it, and some ears and eyes diligently informed that Xue Chongjian had been running for a few times, and it was difficult for her to think about it. The only thing she didn't expect - he was willing to let go of his identity so much to beg himself?

Seeing that Xiao Jiangyuan did not deny it, Li Ye said angrily: "Why is the third brother holding the second cousin? ”

Xiao Jiangyuan smiled indifferently: "King Xue thinks about it carefully, if everyone really locks up King Lijie, can he still move around the palace freely?" In the huge court, ordinary courtiers still avoid it, how can it be like a king of Lijie, like entering and leaving a no-man's land? King Lijie said this, if everyone knows, I am afraid that it will be chilling. ”

Xue Chongjian said: "Then why does he always refuse to let me out of the palace?" ”

Xiao Jiangyuan said: "The reason for this, I think everyone has already told the king. ”

Xue Chongjian chuckled: "I'm the safest in the palace?" I didn't leave the palace to protect me? ”

"Since the king knows, why bother to go out of the palace?" Xiao Jiangyuan sighed, "Since the princess of Zhenguo has driven the king out of the house, she has severed the mother-son relationship, and no matter what the princess does after that, she has nothing to do with the king." If the king is out of the palace, it is good for the princess of Zhenguo to keep to herself, if not, it is inevitable that someone will arrange the king's crimes for the sake of merit, after all, the melon field and Li Xia ......"

"Xiao Neijian said cautiously, my mother is loyal to the Tang Dynasty!"

Xiao Jiangyuan pursed his lips: "So, what is the king leaving the palace for?" ”

Xue Chongjian's eyes changed slightly, lowered his eyes, and did not speak.

Xiao Jiangyuan walked up to Xue Chongjian and helped him stand up: "The king knows that with the temperament of the princess of Zhenguo, she will never give up in the face of such a situation. Although the relationship between mother and son has been severed, after all, blood is thicker than water, and the king is filial by nature, so he naturally does not want to see the princess of Zhenguo fall into the mud one day and commit a heinous crime. But everyone should have asked the king, even if the king is out of the palace, what can he do? If the king can change the thoughts and actions of the princess of Zhenguo, he will not be kicked out of the house in the first place. If the king just wants to protect his mother, please forgive the slaves and maids for being presumptuous, and whether the king will protect his mother or a traitor at that time, can he know in his heart? Just because the king doesn't want to admit it doesn't mean it won't happen. ”

Speaking of this, Xiao Jiangyuan couldn't help but think of Fang Cai's self, and this sentence was so applicable to himself.

Xue Chongjian pondered for a while, but still said firmly: "Then I will also leave the palace!" No matter what happens, no matter what my mother does, she is my biological mother after all, she doesn't recognize me, but I can't deny her. Birth, I accompany her to live and die...... I'll die for her! ”

"Second cousin, don't talk nonsense!" Li Ye bit his lip, "Aunt won't, and neither will you!" Ah Yuan, what the hell do you say this is? ”

Xiao Jiangyuan looked at Xue Chongjian for a while, and his attitude couldn't help but change: "Didn't the king already ask everyone and the emperor, but they didn't agree, what can I do as a little eunuch?" ”

Xue Chongjian said: "The emperor listens to the sage, and the sage ...... Listen to you. ”

That said, it seems to be true...... Li Ye couldn't help nodding secretly.

Xiao Jiangyuan hurriedly said: "The king doesn't want to torture the slaves and maids, everyone is a wise saint, and he is a pro-virtuous person, not listening to me alone." ”

Li Yedao: "That's what I said, but among these people, the third brother still listens to you the most." ”

Xiao Jiangyuan: "......"

Li Ye sighed: "I don't know if the second cousin should leave the palace or not, but he has begged like this, Ah Yuan, let's help him." "But if you really don't want to help, anyway, it's for the good of the second cousin, don't talk about the third brother, I will listen to you.

Xiao Jiangyuan sighed secretly and said: "In the past, the princess of Zhenguo Mansion, the king spoke for the slave maid, and now it is time for the slave and maid to repay the favor." The slave and maid will help the king persuade everyone, but if it is still the previous reason and rhetoric, it will probably not have any effect. ”

Xue Chongjian said: "Xiao Neijian has something to say. ”

Xiao Jiangyuan said: "The slave maid means that it is enough to change the rhetoric, such as ...... The king left the palace in order to personally collect evidence of the rebellion of the princess of Zhenguo, contribute to the elimination of harm in the Tang Dynasty, and destroy his relatives with righteousness! ”

Xue Chongjian said: "I said so...... Do saints believe? ”

"If the king is a lie, how can people believe it? But if the king tells the truth, everyone will believe it. ”

"You ......" Xue Chongjian said angrily, "You didn't just let me talk about it at all, but you planned to let me really do it!" ”

Seeing Xiao Jiangyuan's head, Li Ye hurriedly pulled Xiao Jiangyuan's sleeve: "Ah Yuan...... It's too ...... to let a son harm his mother."

How did Ah Yuan suddenly become so terrifying, like ...... Just like my grandmother, with the kindest smile, to say the cruelest words. This is different from the Ah Yuan he knows.

"Either do as the slave said, and the king will be able to leave the palace, or the king will go back and rest peacefully because nothing has happened to him today. Whether to become a person who is trustworthy but unfilial, or to become a disloyal and untrustworthy person, choose to be in the hands of the king himself. Xiao Jiangyuan ignored Li Ye and saluted solemnly, "The slave still has something to do, so I will retire." ”

"Stop!" Xue Chongjian stopped, "I, want, out, palace!" ”

"It was the right time for everyone to dine with the kings. Let the king come with his slaves and maidservants. Xiao Jiangyuan led Xue Chongjian to walk a few steps, only to find that Li Ye did not follow, seeing that he flattened his mouth slightly, she smiled slightly, "The time for King Xue to come out to change clothes is not short, let's go back with the slave maid." ”

The swan song of the Tang Dynasty
