Cui Xiang also recalled that day at this moment, and immediately ran to the front of Bu Yuan in a panic and knelt down: "The minister is guilty!" ”

The steps suddenly stopped. Princess Taiping picked up the sandalwood incense burner in her hand and threw it at Cui Xiang: "You still know that you are guilty?!" What kind of person is Xiao Jiangyuan, A-Niang took her, and Wan'er taught her everything, how dare you be so ignorant of the severity and startle the snake? ! ”

Xue Chongjian immediately stepped forward and angrily picked up Cui Xiang's collar: "You actually served Xiao Nei...... Boling Cui's good lintel, as a descendant, you are really worthy of it! ”

Cui Xiang was smashed by the sandalwood incense burner and injured his forehead, but he never dared to move, let alone suffer pain. Xue Chongjian was Princess Taiping's favorite son, so he naturally didn't dare to resist, so he had to grit his teeth secretly and hate himself for being incompetent.

"Shut up!" Princess Taiping scolded, "How strong are you?" I really gave birth to a good son......"

"Auntie, I ......"

"I'll just ask you," Princess Taiping interrupted, "Xiao Jiangyuan, is it a man or a woman?" ”

Xue Chongjian stopped talking.

Princess Taiping stepped down lightly, and suddenly pulled a horsewhip from the guard's waist and whipped it at Xue Chongjian's back!

"This time, I blame you for being unfilial!"

Xue Chongjian immediately knelt on the ground: "Loyalty and filial piety can't be both, it makes Ah Niang angry, it's wrong, even if Ah Niang is punished, as long as Ah Niang can dissipate her anger, she is willing to do anything!" ”

"You ......" Princess Taiping pointed at Xue Chongjian with a horsewhip, looking at his face that resembled Xue Shao, and her eyes couldn't help but redden. She immediately turned her head to look at the sky, and while taking a deep breath, she blinked and sighed slowly, "Loyalty and filial piety can't be both...... A good loyalty and filial piety can't be both! ”

Princess Taiping burst out laughing sarcastically, and the laughter stopped abruptly. She turned around at the same time, bent down to face her son's face, her eyes were calm, and the corners of her lips pursed slightly: "Do you think that you are a loyal person who helped Yao and Song, turned the tide, and saved the Tang Dynasty from fire and water?" Do you think that Xiao Jiangyuan, as a eunuch, is helpless about everything, and has always been the one who has been calculated? Do you think Li Sanlang has been wronged from beginning to end and is the most innocent? I, Li Yiniang, am smart, how could I give birth to such a foolish thing as you! ”

Xue Chongjian understood what Princess Taiping meant, but obviously didn't believe it. Now that he has not returned to the Princess Zhenguo Mansion, Xue Chongjian really doesn't want to be unfilial, but he still wants to make his words clear, so he has to lower his voice: "Could it be that the person who ordered someone to spread those rumors all over Chang'an is not A-Niang but me?" Could it be that the person who has been targeting Xiao Neishou is not A-Niang but me? Didn't it alleviate the sage's doubts about the prince, but added fuel to the fire, only for his own power and position, completely ignoring the safety of the Tang Dynasty, not A-Niang but me? ”

"What do you know?!" Princess Taiping retorted, "Don't say it's you, I'm afraid that even Xiao Jiangyuan is just a pawn of Li Sanlang this time!" Since Cui Xiang started to startle the snake, Xiao Jiangyuan has arranged all this...... She even united Yao Yuanzhi and Song Guangping - I said, Yao Yuanzhi was such a person who avoided suspicion, and never opened his mouth this time, and let Song Guangping say everything, isn't he afraid that the intersection between himself and Xiao Jiangyuan will be shaken out, so that what he said is not enough to be believed? They did everything they could, in order to lure me into the game, so that I could get into the situation I am in today, and Li Sanlang is the person who manipulated Xiao Jiangyuan behind the scenes! ”

"He knows that A-Niang wants to harm himself, can't he protect himself? If A-Niang had stopped in moderation, how could she be today? Xue Chongjian persuaded hard, "As the princess of the Tang Dynasty, can't A-Niang think about the Tang Dynasty?" ”

Princess Taiping chuckled: "So, in your eyes, I am a beast-like existence to the Tang Dynasty?" ”

"Er just said......" Xue Chongjian sighed, "Even if A-Niang's heart is good, I am worried that the prince will not do well, let alone be the emperor, but after all, the prince is young, and the court's virtuous ministers are good-looking, which one can't teach him?" Ah Niang directly wanted to abolish the crown prince and set up the king of Song instead, she never thought that this would cause estrangement between their brothers, and there was a contradiction between a prince who was alienated by the Son of Heaven and a prince who was favored by the Son of Heaven, what does this mean, doesn't Ah Niang know? Datang has been in chaos for decades, and when it finally settles down, can't there be less fighting? Besides, Ah Niang still doesn't know if King Song is willing to do this, if King Song is unwilling to have a dispute with the prince as he did when he gave up the crown prince, then Ah Niang has done so much, what is the point? ”

Princess Taiping kept looking at Xue Chongjian with cold eyes, and it was not until the last sentence that her expression changed slightly. She didn't refute Xue Chongjian again, but slowly straightened up, and said while thinking, "You reminded me ......"

"Auntie?"

"Chenglan, I'll give you a chance to make up for your mistakes, go to the Five Kings' Mansion, and be sure to invite King Song to me. If you don't come, you don't have to come back. ”

Looking at the back of Cui Xiang rushing away, Xue Chongjian couldn't help it anymore and exclaimed, "What are you going to do here?" ”

"Then it's none of your business." Princess Taiping sat back on her chariot and said, "Let's go." ”

The chariot was raised and slowly moved forward. Xue Chongjian hurriedly got up and chased after him: "What did A-Niang ask King Song to do?" The saint has already grounded A-Niang for a month, and A-Niang doesn't restrain it, but she still ......."

"The saint only said that he was grounded, but he didn't say that he wouldn't let me invite guests to my house to accompany me to relieve my boredom."

"But ......"

"Let's go."

Xue Chongjian was stunned for a moment: "A-Niang...... What does this mean? ”

Princess Taiping had suppressed all her anger, and her tone was very calm: "From now on, you are no longer my son, so naturally you don't have to go back to Princess Zhenguo's mansion with me." ”

The people in the princess's mansion who accompanied them were all shocked, but they didn't dare to plead. Xue Chongjian never thought that A-Niang loved herself so much, and now she would treat herself so ruthlessly. His body shook, his knees knelt on the ground, and his voice was slightly hoarse: "Mother-son blood, how can you easily cut off ......"

"From the time you helped Li Saburo deal with me, you are no longer my son." After a pause, Princess Taiping looked back, and finally glanced at Xue Chongjian, "I don't have a promising son like you." ”

The honor guard of the princess of Zhenguo was still slowly moving forward, but Xue Chongjian stopped in place, alone, pulled out a long shadow by the setting sun.

It wasn't until Li Chengqi and Cui Xiang passed by here that he came back to his senses. He grabbed Li Chengqi's hand: "Big cousin, don't go!" ”

Li Chengqi smiled gently: "I have to go." ”

Xue Chongjian didn't know why: "Why?" ”

"There are some things that can be avoided without escaping, I have my obligations and responsibilities, and I should also do more for Datang."

Xue Chongjian slowly let go of his hand - to put it in a high-sounding voice, it's not that he can't resist the temptation of dominating the world?

He stood up with his extremely painful knees, and pushed Li Chengqi's hand away to support him, and finally drifted away from the Zhenguo Princess's Mansion.

Li Chengqi glanced at Xue Chongjian's back, sent a small servant next to him to take care of it, shook his head, and set off again with Cui Xiang: "I don't know if Cui Zuocheng knows, my aunt suddenly came to me, but what's the important thing?" ”

Cui Xiang can guess one or two about Princess Taiping's thoughts, so he said: "Naturally, it is a good thing like heaven." ”

Li Chengqi nodded, smiled and stopped talking.

Li Chengqi was invited by Princess Taiping to enter the princess's mansion in Zhenguo, and he was introduced to the palace on the second day, and there were different opinions for a while. Although Li Dan frowned after knowing it, he thought that if his sister was really capable and could let Da Lang sit on the throne of the crown prince, he would leave it alone for the time being, but it was nothing - his attitude made everyone sway again.

At the same time that Li Dan knew, Li Longji, who was in the East Palace, also knew. He first raised his handsome eyebrows, expressing his surprise and appreciation that his aunt could still find a way out so far.

Xiao Jiangyuan stood beside Li Longji, and after the eunuch who reported the news retreated, he said: "The princess of Zhenguo is either sick and rushed to the hospital, or she doesn't know enough about King Song. ”

"What, you know enough about Big Brother?" Li Longji squinted at Xiao Jiangyuan and said.

Since the physical examination, Li Longji's attitude towards Xiao Jiangyuan has changed sharply, and he is no longer as gentle as before, and he is not angry with her as before, but as if he is tired, he is full of weakness, and his speech is lazy and weird, as if she has done something extremely serious.

Xiao Jiangyuan had long been accustomed to Li Longji's moodiness, but this time he noticed a difference. She still didn't say anything or do anything, as if she knew why Li Longji was like this.

Xiao Jiangyuan's face did not change, and he smiled indifferently: "The slave just knows that the King of Song will recommend Ah Lang as the crown prince to the sage back then, but he doesn't want to fight with each other, no matter what the princess of Zhenguo says this time, he will not agree." ”

"How do you know that the eldest brother will not agree? I don't know enough about him, I'm not sure, how dare you? ”

At this time, a eunuch outside the palace came to report: "King Song asks to see His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

"Please." Li Longji first said lightly, and when he saw that Xiao Jiangyuan finally turned his head to look at him, he realized who the eunuch was talking about, so he immediately stood up, and at the same time as Li Chengqi entered the hall, he strode directly past the long table in front of him, and staggered towards Li Chengqi, "Big brother, you ......"

Xiao Jiangyuan said: "Your Highness and the king have something to discuss, so the slaves and maids will retreat first." ”

"You stop, everyone else stands down." Li Longji said coldly.

"Wait." Li Chengqi suddenly said, "What I want to say is very simple, there is no need for this. ”

Xiao Jiangyuan had no choice but to step aside and stand upright, listening to Li Longji ask, "Why is the eldest brother here today?" ”

Li Chengqi said gently: "My aunt came to me yesterday and told me that she is willing to help me and let me replace you and become the new prince." I told her that I still needed to think about it. ”
