----------------

Xiao Xiang sat up violently, and a very terrible word came to his mind: stinging.

According to the history of the field, the father of the debate machine was Li Jiancheng's subordinate, and after the Xuanwumen Incident, he died tragically at the hands of Li Shimin. Fortunately, he became a monk at that time, and he saved his life...... Over the years, whether his hatred has dissipated or not, no one can say.

He's bringing this into the palace now...... Could it be that he is trying to assassinate Li Shimin?

Cold sweat gradually soaked from her back, her heart was beating wildly for a while, she couldn't care about anything, she jumped off the bed barefoot and tore her throat: "Mo Wu!" Mo Wu !! ”

"Princess!!" Mo Wu pushed the door in a panic, "What's wrong with you, princess?" Is it another seizure? ”

Xiao Xiang wanted to deny it, but his eyes rolled, but he nodded: "I'm very uncomfortable, you go to the Zen master of the debate!! She reached out and covered her heart, pretending to be in pain.

Mo Wu didn't dare to delay, and ran wildly.

Looking at her back, Xiao Xiang's brows frowned, and he secretly prayed in his heart, hoping that it would be too late at this moment, otherwise...... It's not just a debate, I'm afraid I won't be able to survive either.

Isn't it?

In any case, people will think that they are in the same party as the debater. Even if you don't think so, if you kill the "traitor" defense machine, who else will solve the poison for yourself?

Isn't it impossible to live by yourself......

She smiled bitterly, could it be that this is fate? Gao Yang and the life of the debate machine were tied by people? Live and die together, never abandon?

Sounds incredibly scary.

She shook her head, shook off the mixed thoughts, and cast her eyes on the entrance to the Manna Temple.

Because the defense machine entered the palace to solve her Gu, Li Ke arranged for him to live in the attached hall of the Ganlu Palace, some distance from the main hall, so he would not be unable to catch up in an emergency, and he would not be too close. Mo Wu ran very fast, and when he didn't have half a pillar of incense, he came back with a debate machine.

"Princess?" The debater is not a stupid person, as soon as he saw Xiao Xiang's expression, he knew that she was okay at all, so he couldn't help but speak slowly, his tone was full of doubts.

Xiao Xiang pulled out a slight smile and said lightly: "I just feel better, and I still want to ask the Zen master of the debate machine to diagnose me." She waved her hand and motioned for Mo Wu to leave.

Mo Wu hesitated for a moment, but he was still blessed and slowly withdrew.

She didn't say much, and said directly: "Zen Master Debate, can you tell me, who did this Huoyun Gu to me?" ”

The expression on the debate machine's face was still calm, and it did not change at all: "The poor monk doesn't know. ”

"So...... What kind of medicine did you bring into the palace? Xiao Xiang didn't force it, and changed the topic. Just stared at the debate machine with both eyes, and didn't blink for a moment.

"The poor monk brought dozens of flavors of medicine into the palace, I don't know what the princess is referring to?" The debater smiled and said in a calm voice, like a slight breeze.

"What kind of medicine did you bring with you?" Xiao Xiang rolled his eyes and asked again.

"It is a rare medicinal material, such as Tianshan Snow Lotus, thousand-year-old ginseng, etc." The debate machine took out a small bottle from the medicine box he carried with him and handed it to Xiao Xiang, "The poor monk doesn't know that the princess is interested in medicine. ”

"What medicine is not in the palace? You actually bothered so much," Xiao Xiang took a deep breath, "Let's put it this way, I won't go around in circles, I know that the medicine I brought into the palace is highly poisonous, and I had a Gu poison attack in the afternoon because I accidentally touched that thing...... Who are you going to kill? ”

The expression of the debater was slightly moved, and he couldn't help but take a step back, and looked at Xiao Xiang in front of him in a daze.

Xiao Xiang sighed softly, half-squinted his eyes, raised his hand to pick up the palace candle on the table, and slowly moved it to his face. The yellowish candlelight was projected on her face, staining her smooth skin with a faint halo: "The fire cloud Gu in my body...... But the Zen master is under me? ”

A glint flashed in the eyes of the debater: "The poor monk doesn't dare." ”

"But there is such a coincidence in the world," the corners of Xiao Xiang's lips raised a slight arc, and his smile looked a little desolate under the firelight, "I actually fell for a Gu that was banned from being used twenty years ago, and such a rare thing...... There are people in Chang'an City who can understand. ”

She looked at the debate machine and slowly lowered the candle: "Could there be such a coincidence?" ”

No matter how clear her heart was, she finally figured out why she had the opportunity to enter the palace to solve her Gu for herself. I'm afraid that this Gu was placed through him, and he entered the palace and killed Li Shimin, so he naturally got a big revenge.

Otherwise, with his identity, how could he enter the court? If you have no ability, it is in vain if you can't get to the enemy. And if he succeeds in his assassination, the biggest beneficiary is ...... Xiao Xiang sneered in his heart, this court is really cannibalistic without blinking.

She had to find a time to go to the East Palace.

Receive the grace of people, when the spring reciprocates. She never lived up to her principles, she just ...... Xiao Xiang looked into the eyes of the debate machine, which was still clear, and there was no panic in the slightest about the plot being exposed.

The debate machine also looked back at her at the same time: "Princess Bingxue is smart. He paused, and also raised a smile, "But please rest assured, this fire cloud Gu, the poor monk will definitely untie it for the princess, and will not teach the princess to hurt the slightest bit." ”

Xiao Xiang wrung his eyebrows and sighed: "What if you die?" Before you die, the Gu poison has not been unraveled... Shouldn't I go to the Yellow Springs with you? Her fingers stroked the red mole between her eyebrows, and she looked dazed.

There was a deathly silence in the room.

She looked at each other like this, and no one spoke again. Faintly, only the breathing sound of the two could be heard, and the lightness and solemnity were mixed together, which seemed a little strange for a while.

After a while, I heard the argument like a difficult mouth: "The poor monk will unravel the Gu poison for the princess first." ”

Xiao Xiang almost got stuck in his throat in one breath, did he really not understand what he meant or did he deliberately distinguish it? She took a deep breath, calming her seemingly irritable mood.

"How long has it been since the Zen master escaped into the empty door?" She seems to be idle and homely, but it makes the debate more vigilant.

Also, who would have a family affair with a monk in the middle of the night with a monk? When I told the ghosts, the ghosts didn't believe it. Besides, the two of them had talked about so many serious things before.

Seeing that the debate machine didn't answer, she was not annoyed, her fingers lightly swiped over the table, dipped in tea and slowly wrote down a blank word. raised his eyebrows and looked at the debate machine with a smile: "Can the Zen master recognize this word?" ”

The debate machine's face was a little strange, and he nodded slowly.

"So, ask the Zen master, what is emptiness?" The corners of Xiao Xiang's mouth gradually raised, and there was a mocking light in his eyes.

The debate machine was stunned for a moment, with a very strange expression on his face, but he still answered honestly: "Emptiness is color." ”

"And what is color?" Xiao Xiang smiled even more happily, his fingers running through the ends of his hair.

"Color is emptiness." The debater looked at her a little inexplicably, "What advice does the princess have?" ”

"If emptiness is color, and color is emptiness, then ...... Does this mean that everyone will end up in the abyss of death? Xiao Xiang sat up straight and suddenly looked at the debate machine seriously.

"Yes......" the debate machine nodded again, "People are just a skin, and after a hundred years, the field will be empty." ”

Xiao Xiang could see from the expression of the debate that he must have doubted his intention to discuss the Buddhist scriptures with him at this moment. Of course, he was right in his suspicions, and he didn't want to discuss Buddhist scriptures with him, because he didn't understand this thing at all. The previous paragraph still borrowed the words of Sha Jia in the cartoon "Saint Seiya" that I watched when I was a child, but according to Mr. Lu Xun's doctrine, I am learning and using it at the moment, and I might as well do it.

"In that case, what's the point of revenge?" She looked straight into the eyes of the debate machine, "I know that you have hatred for your father, but for the hatred of nothingness, you will pay for your life...... Maybe it's a few, do you think it's worth it? ”

After she said this, the debate machine's face suddenly changed greatly. Thinking about it, the identity of the debate machine should be a secret, and if she hadn't seen these in the history of the opposition, she wouldn't have known it at all. In fact, Xiao Xiang is not accurate, after all, what is recorded in the wild history is only hearsay, and she just took it out to make luck.

I don't think her luck is really bad, but she was wrong, it seems that this debate machine is indeed the son of the general. She half-narrowed her eyes, and the corners of her lips provoked a smile: "And...... If you fail, I'm afraid the entire Huichang Temple will give you a burial, do you think...... Is it worth it? ”

The debate machine's face became more and more black, and he suddenly took a step forward, and his palm grabbed Xiao Xiang's neck. Xiao Xiang was shocked...... Is he going to kill people? He did a lot of calculations, but he only missed this point, what if he was really crazy and wanted to kill himself......

The debate machine's hand trembled slightly, his breathing could not be even, his eyes gradually darkened, staring at Xiao Xiang, and the strength in his hand gradually increased, and just when Xiao Xiang thought he was dead, he suddenly withdrew his hand, turned around and left.

Xiao Xiang was shocked, and raised his hand to touch his neck, the place where he had pinched hurt violently. She frowned and reached for the bronze mirror that had been placed aside...... A ring-like mark was deeply imprinted on it, and the mark was reddish and slightly purple. She suddenly jumped up as if she had been burned, and gritted her teeth: "Ah...... Debate machine, if I don't pinch it back, I won't be surnamed Xiao! ”

It's a sleepless night.

Early the next morning, Xiao Xiang was served by Mo Wu to finish freshening up, and before breakfast, he saw the debate machine slowly entering with a medicine bowl. His face was calm and slightly smiling, as if last night's incident was just a nightmare of Xiao Xiang and had never happened at all.

Xiao Xiang looked at him with some surprise, his fingers couldn't help touching the pinched place again, and his eyes could glimpse the faint red mark on his neck from the mirror, although it was extremely light, but if he looked closely, he could still see the clues.

Her body couldn't help but stiffen slightly, and she quietly glanced at Mo Wu from the reflection in the mirror. Mo Wu stood respectfully on the side, not seeing anything unusual at all. Xiao Xiang lowered his eyes, his heart sank, and he weighed her a little more. How could such a quiet person be willing to be a princess's maid...... I'm afraid it has ulterior motives.

"Is this medicine still useful?" Xiao Xiang looked at the debate machine and punned, "I had a seizure like that yesterday...... Isn't the Zen master afraid that there is a problem with the medicine? ”

"It doesn't matter." There was a smile on his lips, and he didn't see the ghost-like face of last night, but it was as warm as a spring breeze, "If the princess takes medicine for another three days, the poor monk will be 100% sure that the princess will be able to unravel the Gu poison." ”

"Okay." Xiao Xiang nodded, took the medicine bowl from his hand, and no longer struggled, and poured it down. Mo Wu hurriedly handed over the honey water, she also took it, rinsed her mouth, and showed a bright smile on her face, "What has the Zen master been doing in the palace these days, I am the master, but I haven't cared, it's really rude." ”

"The palace is much quieter than the people, and the poor monks have taken purity and realized some Buddhist scriptures." The smile on the debater's lips slowly expanded, and the brow that had been slightly twisted before also relaxed.

"Oh?" Xiao Xiang raised his eyebrows, "Can the Zen master explain a thing or two to a layman like me?" ”

"It is the emptiness of all laws: neither born nor destroyed, neither impurified nor impure, neither increased nor decreased. Therefore, there is no color in the air, and there is no knowledge of thought and action. No eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body and mind, no color, sound, fragrance, touch. Visionless or even unconscious. There is no ignorance, and there is no end to ignorance; There is no old age and no old age. No suffering, gathering and extinguishing the way. There is no wisdom and there is no gain, so there is nothing to gain. Bodhisattva, according to Prajnaparamita, has no obstacles in his mind. The debate machine smiled faintly and blurted out a long list of Buddhist scriptures, and Xiao Xiang's eyes straightened when he listened.

She is not a cultural person, where can she understand these Buddhist scriptures, at most she knows one or two sentences from literary and artistic works, and what the debate machine said at the moment is in the clouds. She saw a strange smile on her face, as if she didn't understand the Buddhist scriptures. Did he do it on purpose? Xiao Xiang had such a thought in her heart, and decided to slap her swollen face and become fat, but she didn't understand, she also had to pretend to understand, and she must not let this stinky monk look down on her! !

"Nothing to worry about? There is nothing in the first place, where is the dust? It seems that the practice of the Zen master is not yet in place. She racked her brains, and finally remembered the famous Buddhist scripture story, and immediately raised her head, full of pride.

"Yes. The princess taught that poor monks should practice diligently. But the debate machine did not argue with her, and bowed, "The poor monk retired first." ”

Xiao Xiang was suddenly a little depressed, and his smug expression disappeared in an instant, so he had to watch the debate machine leave...... God knows that she originally wanted to talk to the debate machine more and think about eliminating the evil fate in the future. It's just that why does the debate machine look a little twitching in its back when it leaves?

She shrugged her shoulders, but heard Mo Wu whisper on the side: "Princess, today is the birthday of Concubine Shu, you ......"

"Ahh Xiao Xiang suddenly lost his face, and then remembered that Li Ke had mentioned it in passing a few days ago, saying that today was the birthday of his mother concubine Yang, so he must go early.

It is said that this lady is very fond of herself, and Princess Gaoyang has always been close to her...... However, she actually forgot to do it cleanly, and she didn't even prepare a gift...... Do you want to give people birthday greetings empty-handed?

"Don't worry, princess, the slave maid has already prepared the birthday gift." Mo Wu covered her lips and chuckled, served her to put on the veil that was added to her clothes, and then turned around and went out of the door and went to the side hall.

After a short time, a four-inch square box was retrieved.

The shape of the box is simple, it is carved from a whole piece of wood, and the words of longevity are carved out with hollow carving, which are mixed together, but also look very elegant.

Xiao Xiang reached out and took the box, opened it carefully, but couldn't help but let out a surprised "huh".

The box was surrounded by brocade, which was very gorgeous, but what was in the box was really ordinary, just a golden wine glass. Although it is a gold object, it is not fine in terms of workmanship or shape, and even some ...... Poor.

She couldn't help but cast a puzzled look at Mo Wu: "What is this?" ”

Mo Wu put the golden cup in front of her, with a triumphant smile on her face: "Has Her Royal Highness the princess forgotten the identity of the lady concubine?" She looked mysterious and deliberately lowered her voice, "This golden cup is a gift from Concubine Shuniang to Emperor Yang of the former dynasty when she was young." She made it herself, so it has a special meaning for Niangniang. ”

I see.

Xiao Xiang nodded, this Mo Wu was originally a girl beside Concubine Shu, and it was normal to know these secrets. The memories of one's childhood are precious, and this thing is indeed more meaningful than those rare treasures.

"Good!" Xiao Xiang stood up and stretched his arm upwards vigorously, "Let's go now." ”

"But princess......" Mo Wu squeaked, attracting Xiao Xiang's strange eyes, and under the gesture of her eyes, Mo Wu said the words, "Princess, your hair ......"

Xiao Xiang was stunned for a moment, and raised his hand to touch it...... Because of the excessive force, all the hair fell out...... She looked depressed, so she had to sit back in front of the mirror again, and Mo Wu helped her comb her noble and lively hairstyle.

Finally tossed again, and as soon as he walked out of the Manna Palace, he saw Li Ke standing at the door wearing a light cyan robe, with a faint smile on his face, and a trace of elegance all over his body.

Such men are rare in modern times, and it can be said that they are almost extinct...... Not to mention his appearance, this kind of natural nobility and elegance alone is incomparable to modern people, Xiao Xiang looked a little distracted for a while, and stumbled under his feet, thanks to Li Ke stepped forward to catch her, otherwise she would have to spend a long time taking care of her appearance.

"Why are you always so frizzy?" Li Ke smiled on his lips, reached out and pinched her face, his eyes were full of doting. Xiao Xiang let out a strange scream, turned around and ran away, also with a smile on his face: "Because Brother Ke is even more frizzy than me." ”

Avoiding Li Ke's clutches again, she smiled and said, "Let's go, otherwise it's too late, and the mother will be angry." ”

Only then did Li Ke withdraw his hand and move forward with Xiao Xiang, while Mo Wu and the others walked slowly behind, holding a gift for Concubine Shu in their hands. Li Ke glanced back and said with a smile: "On the birthday of the concubine, what gift did Xiang'er prepare?" Can you show me first? ”

Xiao Xiang shook his head and smiled mysteriously: "Don't you want to compare me, this gift is extremely precious, where can I show it to you first!" She looked smug and winked at Mo Wu. Mo Wu also showed a smile and lowered his head.

As soon as I stepped into the Ruyi Pavilion, I listened to the sound of silk and bamboo. Xiao Xiang pricked up his ears, only to feel that this song was extremely familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere...... She slowed down slightly, and looked at Li Ke on the side with some confusion.

"This song is so familiar." She is indeed strange, it is said that the sound of silk and bamboo in the Tang Dynasty is not familiar to her, even if she has learned the piano before, most of the tunes are famous songs, or they are songs from the late Qing Dynasty. This kind of music, she remembers that she has never practiced. So how can it be familiar?

"Just go in and see." Li Ke smiled on his lips and pulled her in.

When Xiao Xiang saw the person stroking the qin in the Ruyi Pavilion, he immediately knew why he felt familiar. The woman was dressed in a complicated orange palace dress and combed a high flowing cloud bun, but it was the fallen sky she saw some time ago.

"Mother loves Qinyin." Li Ke's voice came from his ears like nothing, Xiao Xiang glanced at him, knowing that he must have invited him in. Also, today, who else has piano skills to compete with the fallen sky?

But...... Why didn't such a superb musician enter the palace to serve?

A trace of doubt flashed in Xiao Xiang's heart, but his attention was attracted by the performance in the hall.

Xun Yeyu is not a solo this time, but a dance accompaniment for others. But I saw that the people in that hall were flying with their sleeves, fluttering like a frightening flood, and graceful like a swimming dragon. The dance is graceful, no matter how the sound of Night Feather's piano changes, there is no hint of stagnation.

She didn't blink her eyes, for fear of missing this wonderful dance. And after a few high-pitched bright notes, the lead dancer jumped over, and the accompanying dancers around her held her high, and her water sleeves flew up, throwing out a little bit of broken red.

It was a plum blossom cut out of Ayara red silk, and for a time it was like a goddess scattering flowers, and it was extremely gorgeous. Through the dancer, you can clearly see the smile on Concubine Shu's face, she seems to be extremely happy, her eyes narrowed into a slit, and she said with a smile: "Reward, reward." ”

The dancer stepped forward to kneel and thank him, and then bowed and left, Li Ke pulled Xiao Xiang in front of him, and both bowed down in front of Concubine Shu. "I wish my mother a long life and all the best."

Concubine Shu hurriedly shouted, looked at Xiao Xiang lovingly, and said, "Xiang'er, come and sit with the concubine." ”

Xiao Xiang nodded, glanced at Li Ke on the side, grinned, and slowly walked to the bottom of Concubine Shu to sit down. There were too many people before, and she didn't have to look at Concubine Shu until this meeting. This historically famous Concubine Yang is not as beautiful as she imagined, and her dark purple and gilded palace dress makes her look very restrained, even at this Qianqiu banquet, she is not so eye-catching.

Her eyebrows are full of gentle colors, and her contours are very soft, and her delicate eyebrows and eyes all show that she is a stunning beauty. In fact, Xiao Xiang had already guessed this, a woman who can make Li Shimin fall in love with him, where will she not look good? Not to mention, her son Li Ke is handsome, it seems that this appearance Tai has inherited half of Concubine Yang.

Xiao Xiang's cranky thinking was just a matter of an instant, so he heard Concubine Yang smile and said, "Ke'er's gift is very much in my heart." Only then did she come back to her senses and look at the gift presented by Li Ke.

The gift is not surprising, it is a whole piece of jade carved Guanyin. The jade is white, the carving is meticulous, and it can be called a treasure, but considering the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, there are many such treasures, so the value of the whole gift should be lowered.

After Li Ke's gift was presented, Concubine Yang Shufei turned her gaze to Xiao Xiang on the side, and said with a smile: "I heard you say last time that you want to prepare a special gift for me, and today I finally know what this gift is." ”

"That's true, it's very rare for Xiang'er to prepare gifts for others." A deep male voice suddenly came from outside the door, and a touch of bright yellow appeared in the eyes of everyone, it was Li Shimin, everyone hurriedly bowed down, and Concubine Shu also quickly got up and put him in the upper seat.

"No courtesy." After Li Shimin sat down, he waved his hand lightly, "Today is the birthday of Concubine Ai, everyone doesn't have to be so restrained, let go." Xiang'er, take out your gift quickly, don't make everyone anxious about waiting. ”

Xiao Xiang nodded and motioned to Mo Wu on the side to hand over the box.

With a smile on her face, she got up and took the box, and put the box in front of Li Shimin and Concubine Shu with some pride. She lifted her bare hands lightly, and the sleeves of her shirt slipped down slightly, revealing a small piece of her wrist that was as smooth as clotted fat. Hao raised his wrist lightly and slowly lifted the lid of the box.

The golden cup was opened with the lid of the box and presented to everyone.

Li Shimin didn't know this golden cup, and when he saw that the congratulatory gift presented by Xiao Xiang turned out to be such an ordinary golden cup, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and his eyes turned to Xiao Xiang with some hesitation.

Concubine Yang was stunned for a moment, and then her breathing immediately became short.

Xiao Xiang smiled secretly, seeing her excited appearance, he couldn't help but feel a little proud. Having a clever palace maid is really a good thing. She took out the gold cup, put it in front of Concubine Yang, and said with a sweet smile: "This gold cup is said to be something used by the concubine, Xiang'er sent someone ......to find it," while saying, she was thinking about going back to reward Mo Wu, but before she finished speaking, she saw that the blood on Concubine Yang's face suddenly faded, took two steps back, and sat down on the chair with a dejected slump, and the tears of the bean size slipped down instantly.

Li Shimin was taken aback, and hurriedly stepped forward to support Concubine Yang, and the anxious color in his words poured out: "Aifei, how are you?" You okay? "Imperial Doctor, go and ask for Imperial Doctor!!" Li Ke also hurriedly stepped forward, full of worry.

The entire Ruyi Pavilion was in chaos for a while, and the crowd dispersed.

Xiao Xiang was at a loss for a moment, how could this be? How so? There was a frenzy in her heart, and her eyes couldn't help but look for Mo Wu in the crowd, hoping that she would give her an explanation.

But where is the shadow of Mo Wu?

Her eyes swept over the entire Ruyi Pavilion, but she couldn't find Mo Wu. Xiao Xiang bit her lip tightly, not caring at all about the salty blood flowing out, she was tricked by Mo Wu!!

Such a realization spread in her heart, stimulating her pride.

She was tricked and used...... I also thank others from the bottom of my heart!!! And this person turned out to be Mo Wu, who has been with him day and night for so many days!!

Xiao Xiang didn't know how to describe his mood at the moment, a little angry, a little sad...... More than that, but fear.

She had long heard of the darkness of the palace, had long heard that the palace was a place where people could eat people without spitting out bones, and had long heard that the heart of the court was indispensable for guarding against people, but ...... She didn't expect that someone would calculate herself.

She's just a princess.

is not the emperor's concubine, nor is it the crown prince who can take the heir.

is so nameless, but because the emperor loves him more, there are people who calculate her.

"Xiang'er, what's going on?" The imperial doctor had already rushed in and was treating Concubine Shu, Li Shimin was free, looked at her with a calm face, and slowly asked.

“…… This cup was found for me by Mo Wu," Xiao Xiang decided to give it all, "She said that it was made by Niangniang when she was young, and it has extraordinary significance to Niangniang." ”

She spoke eloquently, and Li Shimin's eyes were a little gloomy when she listened, and Li Ke on the side also sank his face, as if he was thinking about something.
