Chapter 317: The true face of the plot reversal
Xiao Huaijin's expression on his face did not change when he heard this, but he just looked at the king of Yanbei: "Now that the emperor has just ascended the throne, the overall situation in the DPRK and China is unstable, the princes from all walks of life are ready to move, and the southern Zhao, Tubo, Turkic and Ryukyu are also uneasy. ”
"Self-cultivation is the way to govern the country and level the world, and you are not young. When King Yanbei heard this, he just glanced at Xiao Huaijin, and then the corners of his mouth raised slightly, as if a loving father was talking to his son.
"Governing the world should be like this, and troubled times are a different matter. ”
Seeing that the look in King Yanbei's eyes gradually turned cold, Xiao Huaijin bowed: "If my father has nothing to do, Huaijin will retire first, and Li Yu of the Criminal Department has just sent someone to the other garden to say that he has caught King Qi's remnants, and the child still needs to go over and take a look." ”
King Yanbei looked at Xiao Huaijin's resolute attitude, knowing that he was afraid that he still remembered Hua Zhen in his heart, and the look on his face sank, but seeing that the young emperor was still on the side, he had to swallow all his words back.
With a wave of his hand, Xiao Huaijin bowed down to the young emperor and withdrew from the Linde Palace.
Seeing Xiao Huaijin leaving, the young emperor glanced at King Yanbei's face, and was also a little scared in his heart, so he said softly: "Prime Minister, I feel that my body is really a little tired, and I want to go back first. ”
When King Yanbei heard this, he quickly stood up respectfully, although the young emperor is already in name only, but after all, his Xiao family has no power to usurp the throne, and the emperor's face naturally has to be given.
So generally as long as he is in a good mood, he is polite to the young emperor.
Seeing this, the young emperor hurriedly took the eunuch Gong'e out of the Linde Palace.
In the Lin De Palace, only Beifeng was left standing aside to accompany King Yanbei.
Seeing that King Yanbei didn't know what he was thinking, he looked at the door and was distracted.
After a long time, he spoke: "North Wind, what did the people sent out say?"
Hearing this, Beifeng's whole body suddenly stirred: "Back to the prime minister's words, Princess Jincheng seems to have known that we would send someone to do something to her, and sent more people to protect her, and he has Qin Huai by his side all the time, our people have failed to make a few moves, and now there is no chance to do it at all." ”
Since the palace change, King Yanbei knew that Xiao Zhengze had told Hua Zhen everything, and knew in his heart that his son would be destroyed in the hands of this woman sooner or later, so he asked Beifeng to secretly send someone to hunt them down.
However, Hua Zhen has always had Princess Jincheng and Qin Huai fighting to the death by her side, as well as the protection of the Yan family, so they were stunned to escape all the way from Dayan to Yanbei.
As long as he thought of this, King Yanbei was holding back a ball of anger in his heart.
Thinking of Xiao Huaijin's attitude just now, the look in his eyes became more and more ruthless: "No matter what method you use, you must get rid of her." ”
Beifeng's heart jumped violently when he heard this, and he knew that King Yanbei was angry, so he immediately responded respectfully.
I became more and more puzzled in my heart, why King Yanbei was so determined to get rid of her.
But he didn't dare to ask.
Xiao Huaijin didn't know this, and he didn't know that Beifeng had been attacking Hua Zhen.
Just went to the Ministry of Punishment.
Xiao Lingjun listened to the maid's words, and knew that King Yanbei learned that Hua Zhen was in southern Xinjiang and called Xiao Huaijin into the palace, and the corners of his mouth suddenly raised slightly.
"How's it going?"
Seeing Xiao Lingjun smiling as gorgeous as a summer flower, the maid's mood was also good: "Needless to say, although the prince is using her, but a clear-eyed person can also see that the prince is moved by his true feelings this time, and the lord of Xiangye's mind also knows, so he broke up unhappily." ”
Xiao Lingjun smiled even more happily.
Since the king of Yanbei became the prime minister, this Xiao Lingjun was naturally the county lord of Yanbei with the rising tide.
At present, he lives in the Prime Minister's Mansion with King Yanbei, and he has really become an unattainable aristocratic daughter, even the county lord in the palace looks at Xiao Lingjun and is a head shorter.
King Yanbei is also very good to his daughter, so he specially chose the largest courtyard in the Prime Minister's Mansion and found many people to serve Xiao Lingjun, who is much stronger than the princess.
Xiao Lingjun looked at the furnishings in the room, all of them were the best, but he was not satisfied in his eyes.
Seeing that the maid was still on the side, her expression immediately darkened, and then she ordered: "You go and prepare something, I should go and tell the second brother about such good news." ”
After saying that, the maid answered and went out.
After preparing the sacrifices, he followed Xiao Lingjun out.
Xiao Zheng died in the palace, clearly at the hands of Beifeng, although this is the case, King Yanbei can't let this matter be exposed, after all, it will damage the face of the Xiao family.
Therefore, it is said to the outside world that Xiao Zhengze was to protect Emperor Yan Wen from being killed by Zhao Ting, and he also specially found a piece of land outside the city and set up a tomb for Xiao Zhengze, according to the specifications of the prince of Yanbei.
Xiao Lingjun looked at the cemetery in front of him, but his eyes were full of regret, and he sent all the maids out, and Xiao Lingjun stepped forward and knelt down.
He personally laid out all the offerings one by one, and burned the paper money in the copper basin.
looks very pious, but if you look at her face, anyone who sees it will feel weird.
At this moment, Xiao Lingjun, who was burning paper money for Xiao Zhengze, had a smile on the corners of his eyes and eyebrows, and more of a smug look.
"It's a shame that you're just leaving. Xiao Lingjun said and looked at the copper basin in front of the tomb and sighed.
The words that came out then were heard by the maid on the side, and they also felt shocked: "Brother, father, and concubine have always thought that you are the smartest among the children of the Xiao family, but in fact, they are wrong. If you really were the smartest person, you wouldn't have been deceived by me for so many years. Now I don't know until I die, in fact, the poison was given by me, and my mother was poisoned by me, in order to clear up the relationship, so I blamed the eldest brother for this matter. ”
Xiao Lingjun paused as he spoke, and then said with a sigh: "Actually, I did this for your own good, otherwise, when you grow up, the mother concubine will follow you out of the house, if so, even if I marry someone in the future, there is only one one behind me, you are just a son abandoned by the king of Yanbei, what can you give me to rely on." So I have to think of a way to keep you in the Yanbei Palace. It's just that you disappointed me too much, I created such a good opportunity for you, but you failed to grasp it, and still let the eldest brother steal the position of the prince. Now that you are gone, my eldest brother and I have no blood relationship, and I can't be my dependence, as for my father, I am just a pawn he used to marry, and now he treats me like this just to sell me for a good price, and naturally he can't count on it. ”
Saying that, Xiao Lingjun's eyes flashed with a hint of fierceness, and then the smile on the corner of his mouth was even worse, but it made people feel a little chilled: "At the moment, the only thing I can count on is myself, so brother, you look at it, the sister you can't get will be snatched back for you, and when you meet in the future, you don't have to blame me, I have no choice." ”
Xiao Lingjun said as he burned the paper money, his voice was very low, as if he was muttering.
Rao is personal maid who was guarding the side only heard some content intermittently, and she didn't really hear it, let alone others.
Xiao Lingjun also knew that he would not be heard, so he said it so unscrupulously, but what she didn't expect was that not long after they left, Shen Yuqing, who was in a mess in the grass not far from Xiao Zhengze's grave, quietly walked out.
She was really hungry, so she thought about stealing the dead's offerings to eat, but she didn't expect to hear Xiao Lingjun's words.
Originally, she had heard about it in the Shen family, and Hua Zhen and Xiao Lingjun were also very close, so she also had a good impression of Xiao Ling.
Now that I have heard these words, I know what it means to know people and faces, but not to know the heart.
I was so scared that I didn't dare to get angry for a long time, for fear of being heard.
At this moment, the paper in front of the grave has turned into black ash, and there is no half of a figure in sight.
Only then did Shen Yuqing grab the offerings on the plate and hide them in his arms, and ran towards the distance.
The sixth aunt has now had her tongue pulled out, and she is poured into liquid food every day to survive.
Now that Shen Yuqing was driven out, she knew that her life was short, and she watched Shen Yuqing run back, her face was full of smiles, but two lines of tears came from the corners of her eyes.
Seeing the sixth aunt crying, Shen Yuqing suddenly panicked: "Auntie, what's wrong with you?" But I'm hungry, I found something to eat, auntie, eat quickly." ”
As he spoke, Shen Yuqing took out the food in his arms and handed it to the sixth aunt.
But she was pushed away by the sixth aunt, and wrote on the ground with her fingers very laboriously: "Go find Hua Zhen." ”
Looking at the words on the ground, Shen Yuqing bit her lip and tears fell, and shook her head for a long time: "Auntie, we can't go to her, the fourth sister kicked us out, I'm afraid it's just to let me go to my cousin, if we go to my cousin now, it will only cause trouble for my cousin." ”
Shen Yuqing is still grateful to Hua Zhen in her heart, she doesn't think that all this has anything to do with Hua Zhen, after all, when she didn't show up, she didn't have a good life.
On the contrary, after she appeared, she and the sixth aunt lived better and better in the Shen family.
Right now, it's just fate.
The sixth aunt looked at Shen Yuqing and shook her head, becoming more and more anxious in her heart, but she couldn't speak, so she could only pull Shen Yuqing and shake her very hard.
Then he went on to write on the ground: "You must go to her, you must survive." ”
Looking at the words written by the sixth aunt, Shen Yuqing's tears became more and more intense, but she shook her head vigorously.
Seeing Shen Yuqing like this, the sixth aunt was almost about to collapse, and she was naturally clear about her daughter's temperament.
But she also knew that Shen Yulin drove them out just so that they could go to Hua Zhen, if Shen Yuqing didn't go, Shen Yulin would definitely not let her go.
I knew in my heart that I was completely anxious, and immediately pulled the stone to my head, as if I was going to smash it down.
Shen Yuqing looked at it and suddenly panicked: "Mother, what are you going to do?"
Hearing this, Aunt Sixth pointed to the ground and asked her to find Hua Zhen's words, her eyes were very resolute.
It seems that as long as Shen Yuqing does not agree, she will commit suicide.
Seeing this, even if Shen Yuqing was unwilling in his heart, he could only compromise at this moment, knelt on the ground, and hugged the arm of the sixth aunt: "Mother, I promise you, I will go, I will go to my cousin, I will go." ”
Crying, he took the stone off.
When the sixth aunt heard this, she hugged Shen Yuqing and cried.
The two of them cried in the broken temple for a long time, Xu was a little tired of crying, and Shen Yuqing fell asleep deeply.
The sixth aunt took out a gold bracelet hidden on her body and stuffed it into Shen Yuqing's arms, put away all the things she took from Xiao Zhengze's grave, and turned around and walked out of the broken temple.
