On the main hall of the Furong Pavilion, a handsome young man who was only eighteen or nineteen years old knelt on the ground, with a piano table in front of him, and in the copper incense burner next to it, the best royal sandalwood was burned.

The young man's long hair was just tied behind his head with an ordinary ribbon, and a few strands of long hair that were not tied tightly hung down gracefully on his face, but this was not the point, the point was that the young man's feet were locked with chains the thickness of his arms, and the ankles were obviously worn by the chains, with mottled bloodstains.

Chen Qingxuan noticed that although the young man was wearing a silk embroidered robe, he was already quite old.

"Does Concubine Ai know this person?" Yang Xi was still the same, just wearing a silver-blue robe, holding her hand, pulling her to sit beside him, and asked.

Chen Qingxuan looked at the young man twice, then shook his head, and for some reason, when she looked at the young man, he seemed to look at her secretly.

"It's okay if you don't know!" Yang Xi smiled, "Anyway, this person plays the piano well, if Concubine Ai likes it, just listen to it!" ”

"What tune does Your Majesty want to listen to?" The boy finally spoke, asking.

"What song does Concubine Ai want to listen to?" Yang Xi asked Chen Qingxuan.

Chen Qingxuan thought about it, thought about it again, shook his head and said, "The concubine doesn't know, otherwise, let him play the best song." ”

"It's okay, Yang Xu, you can play a phoenix!" Yang Xi said with a smile.

Yang Xu? Chen Qingxuan froze again, no-her whole body stiffened for a moment, this person turned out to be Yang Xu? The first queen's concubine, the real noble, what she knows is that the prince was punished for conspiracy, but the prince was very smart, and he committed suicide by poisoning without waiting for the holy decree to be issued.

Yang Xu was five years younger than the crown prince, he was the fifth prince at that time, and he was also the queen's concubine.

The first queen was also given a hanging, and it is said that it was originally a straw mat, wrapped in a mass grave in the eastern suburbs outside the city, and hastily buried. The prince's rebellion involves a wide range of things, and this Yang Xu is undoubtedly innocently involved.

Chen Qingxuan expected that he would see Yang Xu here today, and His Majesty Yang Xi, the emperor of the Great Zhou Kingdom, actually treated him as a musician and a musician to make fun of him?

Yang Xu tuned the strings, and then began to play, Chen Qingxuan listened to it for a long time, and said that this piano is a heart sound, just a good song of phoenix, which is too sad.

Moreover, I don't know why, at the end of the song, Yang Xu made a mistake several beats in a row, and then with a snap, one string was broken.

Yang Xi's face was very bad, and he held the teacup and asked slowly: "Let you play a tune, can you still be wronged?" ”

"The ancients Zeng Yun, the piano is a gentleman's exercise, if you don't play it for three days, your hands are thorny, I can't play it for a long time, so I can't be familiar with it." Yang Xu said lightly, with an unconcealable arrogance in his tone, although he called Yang Xi "Your Majesty", he was not called "Minister".

"Humph!" Yang Xi snorted.

"Your Majesty, the concubine is a little uncomfortable, so I will leave first!" Chen Qingxuan got up, didn't wait for Yang Xi to speak, bowed down, and walked out directly.

The little nobleman blocked Chen Qingxuan's way, and Yang Xi shouted: "Bold slave, haven't you heard that Niangniang is uncomfortable, why don't you hurry up and wait for Niangniang to send Niangniang back?" Well, I'll use my jade to send your concubine back. As he spoke, he said to Chen Qingxuan, "Concubine Ai, go back and rest, I will come and see you later!" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Chen Qingxuan almost squeezed out a few words from between her teeth, holding back a sour breath in her heart, which was really uncomfortable.

Waiting for Chen Qingxuan to go, Yang Xi waved his hand and ordered Zhang Derong to retreat too, and then asked Yang Xu: "Do you know her?" ”

"Who did Your Majesty say? Your beloved concubine? Yang Xu raised his head and sneered faintly, "Do you think that I have the ability to hook up with your concubine now?" Or do you have no confidence in yourself at all? ”

Yang Xi raised his hand abruptly and slapped him in the face.

A drop of bright red blood fell on the strings of the piano, sending out a clear body, but Yang Xu just wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth indifferently, and sneered indifferently: "I survived the torture of the Criminal Department." ”

"I'll ask you again, is she a phoenix?" Yang Xi took a deep breath and asked.

"I don't know!" Yang Xu chuckled.

Yang Xi raised his hand again, and a slap hit him on the other side of the face, Yang Xu fell on the guqin on one side, but soon, he got up.

"When she entered the palace, the queen ordered you to accompany the prince, you are the same age as her, you are very close to each other, eat at one table, sleep on the other, although she has grown up, her appearance and figure are different, but it will not be so that you will not recognize it." Yang Xi sneered.

"The phoenix is dead...... Yang Xu slowly closed his eyes, is she a phoenix? Who is she? "That person is just your concubine!"

"Really?" Yang Xi asked rhetorically, "What do I ask, you'd better answer honestly, otherwise, don't force me to send you to the Criminal Department for trial again." ”

"The difficult thing in life is to die, the prince didn't provoke you back then, didn't you hang his head on the city after his death and tell the world?" Yang Xu said slowly, "If you want to kill, you don't have to threaten me, it's just - even if you ascend to the position of the Ninety-Five Supreme, I'm afraid that you won't be able to sleep at night, right?" Although I have been in prison for the past two years, I think about it...... Your life is not easy, Gu Zhen is big, he does not obey the emperor's orders, Zhang Quanheng forms a party for personal gain, the border is urgent, and the Southern Xia Kingdom is pressing step by step. I'm afraid that even if you spoil a woman, you can't help yourself, and the emperor will fail enough to do your part. ”

"It seems that I really underestimated you, you are in prison, can you still know this?" Yang Xi sneered.

"I recently learned a Jianghu dialect in the prison, do you want to listen to it?" Yang Xu raised his head and smiled gently, as always.

"Oh?" Yang Xi said, "Come on, I want to listen, what kind of Jianghu dialect?" ”

"Without the talisman, you will never be able to control this fight!" Yang Xu laughed.

"Really?" Yang Xi raised his head and said, "Yes, you have a sentence that is right, I was indeed trembling, walking on thin ice, dreaming back every midnight every day, worrying that the rebels were coming to the city, but she came—all this changed." ”

"I suddenly found that everything that I thought had become settled has now become confusing, Brother Sanhuang, that sentence, Your Majesty, I seem to have called a little earlier." Yang Xu raised his head and stared at him coldly, a trace of cold murderous aura flashed in his eyes.

Yang Xi was furious, raised his foot and kicked him hard in the chest, Yang Xu fell to the ground again, opened his mouth and spit out a mouthful of blood, and after a long while, he could be regarded as taking a breath, and sneered: "As long as I don't die, I will watch!" ”
