Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Second Prince Catches the Adulterer
The banquet in the palace lasted until the beginning of the lanterns, and the ministers left with their families in twos and threes.
The emperor left Helian Qian to talk to Helian Yue, and the little princess played with the pitcher on the side.
The scene that should have been said had been said at the banquet, and the emperor brought up another topic.
"Now that there are frequent wars with Tianyuan Kingdom, Qian'er came back at this time to call the battle and put a lot of heart, you have always loved to give advice in the army, this time I don't know if there is a good plan?" He said with relief, looking at 'Helian Qian'.
'Helian Qian' pondered, "According to what Erchen saw, it is still necessary to capture Qingping Pass, our army first captured Qingping Pass, but in three days, it was defeated by the Tianyuan Kingdom, and the morale was seriously damaged, so it is the most convenient way to recapture Qingping Pass again." ”
The Emperor nodded, then looked at Helian Yue again, "What do you think?" ”
It's how you feel and not what you have to say.
Helian Yue's hand in his sleeve tightened and tightened, and he smiled, "Brother Huang's idea is indeed very good. ”
The Emperor laughed, "That's it, that's it." ”
The young princess didn't know what they were talking about, and after playing for a while, she felt bored, so she interrupted a few people and said, "Brother, let's play backgammon." ”
Helian Qian nodded, "Father doesn't have backgammon here, my brother will go to your palace tomorrow to play with you." ”
"My brother wants to use my father's emperor here, so I want to play, but my father doesn't have it here." The little princess was unhappy, "Father is eccentric." ”
The Emperor laughed and commanded, "Come, go and bring the princess's backgammon." ”
"Yes." The palace maid answered the call and left.
Isolated from the outside, Helian Yue smiled reluctantly and said, "Father, imperial brother, I just drank a few more glasses at the banquet, and my sons are a little sleepy, and I want to retire first." ”
The emperor nodded, but did not stay, "You go." ”
Helian Yue's heart was blocked a little more, and she got up to give a salute.
"Tomorrow, the younger brother will go to the palace of the royal brother to talk about it." He said, smiling.
"I'll wait for the wine." Helian replied.
The little princess just remembered to give a salute, Helian Yue turned around and left, she sat down again, and said without hesitation, "Why don't you ignore me, Second Emperor Brother." ”
The emperor's face changed, and he said in his heart, really, if this kid wants to inherit the unification, he needs to stabilize his mind, otherwise it will be difficult to achieve great things.
Helian Yue did drink a few more glasses at the banquet, but this bit of drunkenness was blown away by the wind after leaving the palace.
He urged the horse all the way back to the house, and the closed door was broken by his feet, and the doorman who had not had time to open the door knelt down and did not dare to get up again.
Rou'er waited anxiously outside Helian Yue's courtyard, and when she saw him coming back, she hurriedly greeted him, "The slave has seen the second prince." ”
Helian Yue stood still, "What's the matter?" ”
Rou'er slurped, "Yes...... It's ......"
Helian Yue was impatient, too lazy to listen to her, and went straight to the courtyard gate past her.
"It's the imperial princess, and the man is here again." Rou'er said loudly in the back.
Helian Yue paused, turned around and walked quickly.
This!
"Second Prince!" Rou'er was startled and hurriedly followed, could the second prince not help it?
In the bedroom, Yang Mei lost her temper with Jing Xueqing for the first time, "You went back to Tianyuan Kingdom, what should I do?" I already knew about the treasure, do you still need to hide it from me? ”
Jing Xueqing was very helpless, if it weren't for the fact that Yangmei was still useful now, he wouldn't have wasted time here.
He hugged her and comforted, "Now you are the safest ...... here."
Syllable!
The door was kicked open with a bang, interrupting what he was about to say.
"Who is so presumptuous?" Yangmei immediately turned her head and said.
Helian Yue's figure flashed outside the door, and the whole person had a gloomy face.
"The Second Emperor... "Yangmei's face turned pale in an instant, and she reflexively pushed Jing Xueqing away.
Helian Yue ignored her, but looked at Jing Xueqing and said coldly, "You come." ”
Then he turned and left.
Jing Xueqing was stunned, and quickly followed, until she entered the study.
"This prince entered the palace today." Helian Yue said, "I saw Helian Qian. ”
"Let him go back to the capital, it was the second prince who miscalculated." Jing Xueqing also said.
Helian Yue snorted coldly and stood with her hands in her hands, "This prince suspects that Helian Qian is a fake. ”
"What?" Jing Xueqing showed a look of surprise, "How can the second prince conclude that he is fake?" ”
"It's a suspicion, Helian Qian originally had a mole on his hand, but now he doesn't." Helian Yue explained, "There was a scar in that place. ”
"That's all?"
"Yes, so this prince needs you to decide." Helian Yue said, "It's hard to tell if the human skin mask you made is real or fake, but this prince is sure that you have a way to tell the difference." ”
"The second prince asked me to enter the palace to see if he was wearing a human skin mask." Jing Xueqing smiled, "It's such a trivial matter, I'll go now." ”
"Slow!" Helian Yue stopped him, "Not now, seven days later is the queen's birthday, you go with me that day, if you see that it is fake, this prince will unmask him in public." ”
"This ......," Jing Xueqing hesitated, "but the princess has already decided to leave for Tianyuan Kingdom tomorrow." ”
"It's your business." Helian Yue sneered, "After this matter is done, this prince will give you the imperial concubine." ”
"I don't dare to blaspheme the imperial concubine." Jing Xueqing didn't have any expression.
Helian Yue shook his sleeves and said, "Get out." ”
Jing Xueqing's eyes flashed with a fierce color, and it was fleeting.
He bowed his head and bowed halfway, and quickly withdrew.
It was already completely dark outside, and Jing Xueqing didn't ride over on a horse in order to avoid her ears and eyes, so she could only use light skills and quickly swept towards Ning Yunxiao's house.
Within a quarter of an hour he had arrived, and the cold wind had soaked through all his clothes.
He leapt into the inner courtyard, where the light in the bedroom was on, and a vague figure could be seen inside.
In the bedroom, Bai Zhuo suddenly frowned, "Why did Jing Xueqing come over again?" ”
"Something's wrong." Ning Yunxiao shrugged.
"Men and women at seven years old don't sit at the same table, and they still come to you so late at night, it's ridiculous!" Bai Zhuo inexplicably began to eat flying vinegar, and people who don't know the number of etiquette and have bad intentions should teach a good lesson.
Jing Xueqing had just taken two steps, and the door was suddenly pushed open from the inside, and then a soft sword came first, stabbing at him.
He quickly swept backwards, jumping sideways and dodging.
At this time, Bai Zhuo ran out of the bedroom, but after a few breaths, he caught up with the soft sword, grabbed the hilt of the sword, and his body merged with the night, and launched a fierce offensive towards Jing Xueqing.
Jing Xueqing had already adjusted her state after the initial hurry, and she also drew her sword to deal with it.
For a while, the sound of clanging swords colliding resounded throughout the courtyard.
Because the earth dragon is directly opposite the door, now that the door is wide open, Ning Yunxiao can see the first scene of the two fighting without moving the place.
She hugged the puppy that was shivering in the cold wind and hugged it in her arms, and said, "Son, mom told you, the one in white clothes is a big villain, he wants to rebel himself, and he pulls me, and often breaks here at night, the one in black is your father, he is now very angry because this big villain came over in the middle of the night, which one do you think can win?" ”
As she spoke, Jing Xueqing had already lost the upper hand, firstly, he had spent a lot of physical strength by performing light skills, and secondly, Bai Zhuo was already a little stronger than him, but if he was in a normal state, he would not have been defeated so quickly.
Not only Ning Yunxiao thought so, but so did Jing Xueqing, he was shocked in his heart, he didn't expect this Bai Zhuo's martial arts to be so strong.
At first, he was able to counterattack, but now he was left to dodge, and several times the sword grazed his neck, making him feel creepy.
With another sword move that only took the door of life, he couldn't dodge, so he had to turn his body and let his shoulders resist the sword.
Burst!
It was the sound of the blade of a sword piercing into flesh.
Although the puppy was not big, its nose was very smart, it smelled the smell of blood, and let out the first bark in its life in Ning Yunxiao's arms.
"Wow!" It cried out, and craned its neck.
Jing Xueqing fell to the ground in response, clutching her shoulders and coughing twice.
Seeing this, Bai Zhuo was satisfied, stood with his hands in his hands, and asked, "What are you doing here?" ”
The fight just now was still rapid, and his breathing was a little heavy.
Although Jing Xueqing always maintains a pleasant face, the mud man also has a temper that is revealed.
"It's none of your business." He said, quickly standing up.
Bai Zhuo immediately blocked in front of him, holding his sword against his chest, there is a great momentum that if you dare to take a step forward, I will kill you.
"If I die, a large number of people in Qingfeng Hall will definitely destroy your entire family, do you think your pretended identity can hide from me?" Jing Xueqing directly threatened, but he only knew that Bai Zhuo's identity was fake, who was pretending but he didn't know, he thought Bai Zhuo was wearing a human skin mask at first, but it didn't look closely.
Bai Zhuo sneered, "My family has already died, where are you going to kill." ”
Although Jing Xueqing is far less old than the white-haired old man, she has definitely lived a fine life, how fast her head turned, she suddenly raised her chin and looked at Ning Yunxiao, "I don't know if it's far away, isn't it one in front of me?" ”
Although it was very discordant, Bai Zhuo was inexplicably happy when he heard this, did he and Ning Yunxiao already have the same relationship as their family in the eyes of people like Jing Xueqing?
That...... What kind of relationship is it?
Husband?
Wife?
His thoughts deviated more than a lot, and even Ning Yunxiao in the room could feel it.
Jing Xueqing tried to move two steps, but Bai Zhuo's sword followed again, and it seemed that he didn't plan to let him in today.
Ning Yunxiao couldn't stand the door wide open, and the cold wind swished into the house.
"Alright, let's all come in." She said, "Cold. ”
As soon as he heard this, Bai Zhuo immediately let the door out and entered first.
Jing Xueqing also came in and closed the door with her hand, accidentally touching the wound, making him frown in pain.
Ning Yunxiao pulled the velvet blanket to cover her legs, "What are you here for?" ”
"I hope the princess will be honest with me." Jing Xueqing sat down on the earth dragon.
Ning Yunxiao looked at him, "You ask." ”
"Is Helian Qian's return the princess's handiwork?" Jing Xueqing asked.
"It's not." Ning Yunxiao replied without thinking.
Jing Xueqing obviously didn't believe her, "Helian Yue has already discovered that Helian Qian in the palace is a fake, if the princess knows where the real Helian Qian is, let him prepare early." ”
Ning Yunxiao's expression was stunned, he was discovered so quickly? Helian Yue doesn't look like such a smart person.
Jing Xueqing seemed to see her doubts and explained, "Because the mole on Helian Qian's hand turned into a scar, Helian Yue became suspicious, and he asked me to enter the palace to find out whether Helian Qian was wearing a human skin mask." ”
Ning Yunxiao hesitated, not knowing what to say.
Bai Zhuo suddenly said, "You go and debunk the fake Helian Qian." ”
Ning Yunxiao looked at him with wide eyes.
Jing Xueqing smiled, "So you are admitting that Helian Qian's return has something to do with you and the princess." ”
"How about admitting it, and what about not admitting it?" Ning Yunxiao said.
"The subordinates just want to know what the princess and this man are planning behind their backs." Jing Xueqing smiled.
