Thirty-four, conspiracy in a conspiracy

"Now the eldest princess has suspected our family, and specially sent someone to Luanzhou to check the details of her father-in-law. I think it's time to do something. Gao Xiang, you go and inform ------ immediately" He glanced at Tang Zhenran, paused, and said, "That person, tell him that Princess Huaizhen has become suspicious of me, and I want him not to be high-profile recently." And the chess pieces, let's stay on the chessboard for the time being. Wait for the wind to be tight, and move the chess pieces. ”

Although Tang was already fascinated, Sun Xiang was still very cautious when he spoke, lest he accidentally leak his mouth.

"The little one obeys. Father-in-law, the emperor is ------ you see ......." Gao Xiang said: "If the father-in-law is still hesitant, I'm afraid Shi ...... When the time comes, the man will not be satisfied. Now that the emperor is terminally ill and the medicine stone has no spirit, it is better for his father-in-law to give the emperor a ride. ”

"No! My father-in-law said that you must not hurt the emperor! Sun Xiang said: "The emperor's kindness to our family is finally mountain, if there is no emperor, there is no Sun Xiangyong today." I will definitely not do anything to hurt the emperor! You go and tell that person that if he wants to fight the emperor again and avenge his personal vendetta, the cooperative relationship between my father-in-law and him will be terminated. ”

"Yes, the little one understands." Gao Xiang saw Sun Xiang lose his temper, and immediately responded cautiously.

After Sun Xiangyong glanced at Tang Jingran, he also lay on the table, pretending to be asleep.

......

On the second day, when Sun Xiangyong woke up, Tang was really gone. He asked Gao Xiang, only to know that early in the morning, Gao Xiang gave her an antidote. After Tang woke up, he saw that he had fallen asleep before Sun Xiang, and he blamed himself, so he went to ask Jian Huaizhen for his guilt early in the morning.

Tang was shocked by this move, but Sun Xiangyong did not doubt it. If she were an ordinary woman, she wouldn't have done that. But she was Tang Jingran, the head of the dignified candle shadow shaking red, how could she allow herself to make such a serious mistake when spying on the enemy. Therefore, it is reasonable for her to ask for sin.

Tang was shocked and hurriedly walked into the Wan'an Palace, but saw that Scattered was fetching water to freshen up Jian Huaizhen, so he asked, "Where is Aunt Princess?" ”

"The princess fell asleep very late last night, and today the slave maid wanted her to sleep a little longer, so she didn't wake her up." ”

"Aunt Lingluo take me to see her quickly, I can't stay here for too long, otherwise it will arouse Sun Xiangyong's suspicion, I have something important to tell the princess." Tang said hurriedly.

Seeing that the matter was urgent, he didn't think much about it, and immediately took Tang Jingran to the outside of Jian Huaizhen's bedroom. Jian Huaizhen had already gotten up, was sitting in front of the dresser and pondering, when he heard a scattered voice and said, "Come in." Scattered and Tang walked in.

Tang was shocked to see Jian Huaizhen, and said with a solemn face: "Aunt Princess, what you expected is really not bad. Sun Xiangyong is really the person behind the scenes. ”

Jian Huaizhen looked at the bronze mirror, a sneer on the corner of his mouth, and said sadly: "I didn't expect it!" I didn't expect that! The last thing that this palace wants to do happened. I didn't expect the emperor to be kind to Sun Xiang, but Sun Xiang treated the emperor like this, shocked, what the hell is going on, you take your time. ”

Tang was shocked and responded: "Yes." In the past few days, I have been monitoring Sun Xiangyong by his side, and he seems to know it, and he is very uncomfortable. It's just that I'm the one sent by the princess's aunt, but I can't say anything. Last night, Sun Xiangyong suddenly proposed to keep vigil for the emperor, and I naturally went with him. He said that the night was cold, so he ordered the little eunuch to go to the imperial dining room and bring two bowls of mushroom soup and some pastries. ”

"Something was done in the middle of the meal?" Scattered blurted out and debuted.

"Yes." Tang said calmly, "That's how it was. I had expected that both bowls of soup would be poisonous. Sun Xiang is cunning and cunning, and of course he does things without leakage. So I deliberately pretended to change the soup and spoon with him, so that he thought I was suspicious of him. After the change, I saw him eating, so I pretended to be relieved. In fact, I have already swallowed the Baiqingsan that the princess's aunt gave me that can cure ordinary poisons. The poison in the mushroom soup didn't do much for me. I deliberately pretended to faint in order to confuse them. That's when I heard the conversation between Sun Xiangyong and the little eunuch. ”

"What do they say? Is there anything unfavorable to the emperor? Jian Huaizhen groaned.

Tang was shocked and said what he heard to Jian Huaizhen. These words were much more than Jian Huaizhen expected. Originally, she thought that Sun Xiangyong was the mastermind of the whole thing, but now it seems that it is far more than that. Outside the palace, there must be another person who colluded with Sun Xiangyong, but there is no way to guess the identity of that person.

"The chess pieces, let's stay in the chessboard for the time being. Wait for the wind to be quiet, ....... moving the chess pieces" Jian Huaizhen recited these words that were quite interesting, thought for a long time, and said, "I figured it out." If my guess is correct, the chess piece may refer to the crown prince. ”

Tang was quite puzzled and asked, "Aunt Princess, you said that the chess piece is the crown prince, but I obviously heard Sun Xiangyong say that he would not hurt the emperor." And how could he hurt the crown prince? ”

Jian Huaizhen shook his head and said, "It's not like this. The reason why Sun Xiangyong refused to hurt the emperor was because the emperor had shared weal and woe with him, and there was a deep affection between the two. What's more, the emperor is seriously ill now and can't do anything. The crown prince is different. Sun Xiangyong may not have feelings for the prince, and the prince will definitely affect some people. If Sun Xiangyong really knew about Cao Jixiang and wanted to take revenge, the Zhu family would naturally be his first target for revenge. Shocked, you have to look at the emperor well, I am afraid that Sun Xiangyong's conspiracy will force him to be unfavorable to the emperor. ”

Tang was shocked and said, "Obey." ”

After Tang was shocked to report what had happened to Jian Huaizhen, he returned to the emperor's bedroom. Jian Huaizhen repeatedly told him not to startle the snake, hoping to find out from Sun Xiang's mouth who his accomplice was.

From a distance, Sun Xiang walked over with tears on his face when he saw Tang Shocked, but he was a little surprised, and asked, "Shocked girl, what happened?" Why is it so sad?

Tang shook his head and said, "Where am I sad." I'm just blaming myself. The princess's aunt sent me to take care of the emperor, and I fell asleep in a good way. I went to ask the princess and aunt for my guilt, and she did not punish me. I felt even more guilty. I think I was ...... on the rivers and lakes back then" Speaking of this, Tang Jingran deliberately stopped and didn't say anything.

Tang Jingran said this with her intentions. She already knew that Sun Xiangyong was the main messenger behind the matter, and he naturally had contact with people on the rivers and lakes, and she knew Tang Jingran's identity. Therefore, Tang Jingran only pretended to be careless and almost leaked his identity, and hid it again. In this way, it made Sun Xiangyong feel that she was not a person who was very deep in the city, and that she could become the palace master with the candle shadow shaking red, it was nothing more than because of Jian Huaizhen's help. In this way, Sun Xiangyong's wariness of Tang Jingran will be greatly reduced.

Seeing this, Sun Xiangyong pretended to comfort Tang with a few words. Tang Jingran was still very frustrated, but despite this, she still followed Sun Xiangyong every step of the way. And the followers became tighter and tighter, that is, when Sun Xiang slept at night, Tang Jingran would rest in the room next to his bedroom.

Sun Xiangyong proposed to Tang Jingran, so bad. Tang Jingran didn't mind at all. In this way, Sun Xiang used to do things to restrain his hands and feet, and Gao Xiang only said a word to him, and Tang Jingran had already followed. In desperation, Sun Xiang had to repeat --- vigil with his old skills.

That night, Sun Xiangyong proposed to keep vigil, and Tang Jingran naturally followed. In the middle of the night, Sun Xiang used the same as always, and Jiao Gao wanted to go to the imperial dining room to get some pastries and soup. This time, Tang Jingran did not exchange with Sun Xiang again, and when she saw Sun Xiang using food, she also ate with him. Not long after, she fainted on her side again.

Sun Xiangyong saw her faint, and said with a long sigh of relief: "In recent days, my father-in-law has been tired of this girl. ”

Gao Xiang made a gesture and said, "In that case, it's better to let your subordinates help her father-in-law kill her." ”

Sun Xiangyong shook his head and said, "You can't kill it." If he could have killed it, his father-in-law would have killed him a long time ago, so he would have to wait until now? She is Princess Huaizhen's person, what are her three strengths and two shortcomings, how could Princess Huaizhen let us go? ”

Gao Xiang stood aside with his head down and said, "Yes." ”

Sun Xiangyong remembered one thing and asked, "What's the reply over there?" ”

Gao Xiang nodded and said, "Father-in-law Qi, the reply over there is that if Father-in-law Sun still doesn't ...... Before they sent the emperor on a ride, they had to act on their own. When the time comes, I don't know the ghosts, I'm afraid the emperor will ..... Worse off. ”

Sun Xiangyong was very annoyed and said: "When we cooperated, they said that they would not force my father-in-law to do anything to hurt the emperor. ”

"But...... But they said, if it weren't for them, how could Li Xian not have died well? Grandpa Sun got revenge, but how could he forget them? They also said that let Grandpa Sun not forget that the people of the Zhu family have enmity with Grandpa Sun. The emperor is also a member of the Zhu family. Gao Xiang lowered his head and said.

Sun Xiangyong sat blankly on the side of the table as if he had been stung by something, and he muttered: "The emperor is also from the Zhu family......

"Over there, it is said that the biggest enemy of the father-in-law is the emperor. If it weren't for the emperor's order to give death to Gonggong Cao, no one would be able to help him. As for Li Xian, the eldest princess and others, they are just accomplices. The emperor is the culprit. The slave also wants to think twice about the father-in-law, if the people over there, if they annoy them, they will do anything. Gao Xiang whispered comfortingly.

Sun Xiangyong was very excited and said, "At the beginning, my father-in-law just wanted to cooperate with that person to eradicate Li Xian and avenge my brother. Now, he has forced me to assist him in kidnapping the crown prince, and now he wants me to harm the emperor, which is too much! ”

Gao Xiang persuaded on the side: "Father-in-law, now you are grasshoppers on a rope, one is prosperous and the other is lost, and they just take a fancy to this, so they will force your father-in-law to do things, right?" ”

If you think about it, you should mention Sun Xiang. Today's situation is already ready to be sent, who let him take this step? You have to bear the consequences of what you do. But let him deal with the emperor, this is something he is very unwilling to do. At the beginning of Cao Jixiang's death, he counted all the accounts on Li Xian's head, and did not anger others.

It's a pity that he persuaded the emperor several times and wanted to frame Li Xian, but the emperor trusted Li Xian very much, and he had no choice but to join forces with the people over there and let the people over there kill Li Xian. As soon as Li Xian died, he thought that he had revenge, but who knew that the people over there refused to stop with him when they died, forcing him to do a lot of things he didn't want to do.

"Father-in-law, they said that if there is no news of the emperor's funeral three days later, they will definitely not stop with their father-in-law." Gao Xiang said in embarrassment.

Sun Xiang listened to it, sighed and said, "Is everything okay with the prince?" ”

Gao thought, "The minions don't know either. However, there was no news of the death of the prince over there, presumably he was still alive. As long as the prince doesn't move places, I don't think they can kill the prince so easily. ”

Sun Xiang said: "You are right. ”

"How does my father-in-law decide?"

Sun Xiang covered his head and thought for a long time, and said: "My father-in-law is really difficult to choose for a while. I'll think about it another day, and then I'll talk about it. As he spoke, he raised his head and glanced at the emperor's bedroom.

Early in the morning of the second day, Tang woke up as usual. Only this time, she didn't blame herself like last time, but smiled and said, "Why am I asleep again?" ”

Sun Xiangyong was already by her side, and said with a smile: "The cold night is heavy, and the frightened girl is just a girl's family, so naturally she doesn't stay up late like ours." ”

Tang looked at the emperor's bedroom and said, "The emperor is all right." ”

"It's all good, it's all good." Sun Xiangyong replied.

Tang smiled and said, "That's fine." Grandpa Sun is guarding the emperor here first, and I'm going to dress up. Slept here all night and got unkempt. ”

Sun Xiang only thought that his daughter's family liked to dress up and make up, so naturally he didn't go anywhere else, and said, "Okay." ”

Tang was shocked and immediately returned to the room that Sun Xiangyong had prepared for her. She found a pen and a piece of paper, and wrote on it: Sun Xiangyong may kill the emperor tonight. When you're done, shrink the slip of paper and put it in a hairpin. Then freshen up and get dressed up and come out again.

Sun Xiangyong was still waiting for Tang to be shocked, and when he saw her, he smiled and said, "The girl has freshened up?" ”

Tang was shocked and smiled, and saw Zero Luo coming over from a distance, holding a food box in his hand, and when he saw Sun Xiangyong and Tang Shock, he asked, "Grandpa Sun, is the emperor up?" ”

Sun Xiangyong shook his head and said, "I haven't woken up yet." ”

Zero said: "In that case, I won't go in either." Here is the tonic fried by the eldest princess herself, and after a while, the emperor woke up and asked his father-in-law to help hand the medicine in. ”

Sun Xiang responded with a continuous voice. At this moment, Tang was shocked but let out a "ahh

Ling Luo and Sun Xiang looked at it, only to see that a hairpin on her head accidentally fell to the ground. The hairpin is very beautiful, made of pink gold, and inlaid with plum blossoms.

Tang was very frustrated and said: "This hairpin was originally a gift from the princess's aunt, but now it was accidentally broken. What can I do about this? ”

Zero Luo said disapprovingly: "It's just a hairpin." If it's broken, let the princess send you a few more. ”

Tang was shocked and said with a displeased look: "This hairpin is different from others. It's been with me for six years, and I have feelings for it. ”

Zero Luo smiled and said, "It's really a child's idea." In this case, you give me the hairpin, and I will ask someone from Si Zhenfang to help you fix it. The craftsmen in the palace have good craftsmanship and ensure that the repaired hairpin is exactly the same as the original hairpin, and there is no trace of half of the damage. ”

Tang was shocked and said, "What Aunt Zero said is true? ”

Zero Luo smiled: "When did I lie to you?" ”

Sun Xiangyong also said on the side: "The craftsmanship of the craftsmen in the palace is really good, don't worry, the girl is shocked." ”

Tang nodded in surprise, and handed the hairpin into Scatter's hand with joy. Scattered chatted with the two of them for a few more words, and then turned back.

Back at Wan'an Palace, Jian Huaizhen asked, "How?" ”

Scattered hurriedly stepped forward and said, "The princess expected it to be good, and Sun Xiangyong really took action." Today, Shocking Dye handed me the hairpin. With that, he took out the hairpin.

It turned out that after Tang Jingran came back to report to Jian Huaizhen last time, Jian Huaizhen felt that if she still did this in the future, she would definitely alarm Sun Xiangyong, so she thought of a way, that is, the hairpin to pass the book. Every morning, he would ask Zero to send something under the pretext of meeting Tang Jingran, so that if there was any situation, the two could pass on information.

Today, Tang Jingran and Scattered made a scene in front of Sun Xiangyong and successfully passed on the information.

Jian Huaizhen opened the hairpin, saw the note written in the hairpin by Tang Jingran, his face changed in shock, and said, "I didn't expect Sun Xiangyong to really lose his breath." ”

"Sun Xiangyong wants to kill the emperor?" Ling Luo was also taken aback, took the note from Jian Huaizhen's hand, glanced at it, his face changed greatly, and hurriedly asked, "Princess, how is this good?" Do you want to ask all the adults and heroes in Huaiming Garden to help? ”

Jian Huaizhen hesitated slightly, and said, "No." ”

She immediately said: "It's a pity, it's a pity, this palace is not in a hurry to deal with Sun Xiangyong, originally wanted to lure out his accomplices." Now that he has murderous intentions towards the emperor, we can't think about it so much. Now we can only take one step at a time, and things have reached the point of last resort, and everything is important to the safety of the emperor. ”

Scattered said solemnly: "Follow the princess's orders." ”

Jian Huaizhen was worried about the emperor, and in the evening, he ordered Ling Luo to go to Zhu Qizhen's dormitory again to deliver medicinal soup.

Scattered sent over, and by the way, returned the hairpin that Tang was shocked to her. Tang was shocked to see the hairpin and thanked Scatter.

Scattered excused himself and said: "Shocked, do you remember what day it is?" ”

Tang shook his head blankly and said, "I don't remember." ”

"Today is your mother's death day." "No wonder you don't remember, you have followed others since you were a child. The princess taught me to summon you back and set up a case for your mother at night in Wan'an Palace and burn incense. ”

Tang was shocked and glanced at Sun Xiangyong with some hesitation, and said deliberately: "But...... But Grandpa Sun's side ......, "She knows that today is not the death day of her mother Tang Yunxu, and Jian Huaizhen naturally has her reasons for doing this." In order not to arouse Sun Xiangyong's suspicion, she deliberately said this.

Zero Luo patted her on the shoulder and said, "You have been following Grandpa Sun for so long, you must have learned what you should have learned." What's more, learning how to serve the emperor is not in a hurry for a while. ”

"Yes." Tang nodded and said, "Then follow my aunt's orders." ”
