19: Peel back the cocoon
There is a striking resemblance between history and reality. The Nether Bead is almost the jade mentioned in the allusion. Because Ling Ziling had the secret of refining the Nether Bead, she was kidnapped by Niu Lao, the master of the Yiqi Gate. If Niu Lao hadn't died by himself and went to the Guoselou to make trouble, then the Netherworld Bead would already be in his pocket.
However, Niu Lao's greed was insufficient, and he provoked Xiao Sheng. So he was like the king in the story, stealing chickens and rice, but putting his own life on the line.
Ling Ziling has also read a lot of books and also knows this allusion. She cocked her nose, snorted coldly, and said, "If you want Miss Ben's piece of jade, there is only one Niu Lao? The Netherworld Bead is a good thing, you Emperor Dahao wants it, the King of Eagle Jixiang Kingdom also wants it, and even among the five marquis of the Eastern Wilderness, who doesn't want it? It's just that Niu Lao has the thickest skin, the lowest IQ, and the strongest greed, so he finally couldn't help it, and he was the first to do it." ”
Xiao Sheng groaned: "It has been more than ten years. If you want to do it, it's long overdue. Why have you waited until now?"
Ling Ziling habitually rolled her eyes, and said angrily: "It's not because of your queen." I heard that she is about to have a birthday. Niu Lao wanted to please her, so he grabbed Miss Ben and wanted to give it to the queen as a gift. ”
Xiao Sheng was stunned, subconsciously reached out and pressed the placket of his clothes, tidied up his collar, and nodded: "It's the queen's birthday." In this way, all the pieces are connected. ”
Ling Ziling snorted coldly, continued to lie down, and buried her head in eating. Old man Guan was puzzled when he heard it, and couldn't help asking, "Your Highness, what's going on?" ”
Xiao Sheng explained: "The Nether Bead is indeed a good thing, and everyone wants it. But at the same time, the Netherworld Bead is very important, except for the Son of Dahao, no one dares to ask for it, and it can't be wanted. If you want it, you will be suspected of rebellion.
In fact, when my father was in good health a few years ago, and when he did not retreat to the deep palace to recuperate, no one dared to fight the idea of the Netherworld Bead at all. Although it is said that the father once ordered Ling Zhiling to refine the Netherworld Bead and offer it to atone for his sins. But according to my thoughts, if someone really dared to force Ling Zhiling to refine the beads at that time, and then offer the beads to invite pets. Then this person must be unlucky.
It is precisely because of this that Sister Ziling has lived safely and unharmed until now.
However, in recent years, inside and outside the imperial court, there have been continuous criticisms of the policy of treating famine by desolate people for a hundred years. If this policy is really revoked in the end, then the current five marquis of the Eastern Wilderness will not be able to become the overlord of the soil. So they will definitely do everything in their power to keep this policy going.
As we all know, the desolate man to control the famine was proposed by the queen. Now the queen is in charge of the court, and she says the same. As long as the queen doesn't nod, no matter how loud the opposition and criticism are, the status of the five marquis of the Eastern Wilderness is still as stable as a mountain. Therefore, pleasing the queen has become the most important thing for the five marquis of the Eastern Wilderness.
This queen's birthday is a great opportunity to please her. If Ziling's sister can be presented in public at the birthday banquet, then the queen must be very happy. The five marquis of the Eastern Wilderness can also reap countless benefits, and no one can touch them. ”
The palace is the place with the most intrigues and intrigues in the world, and all kinds of intrigues happen almost every day. Guan Canghai's father-in-law has also been in the palace for more than 20 years, and he is absolutely no stranger to this kind of drama of framing and pleasing whom. Therefore, as soon as Xiao Sheng explained this, he understood.
But Guan Canghai still has something that he can't understand. He asked suspiciously: "Since the five marquis of the Eastern Wilderness all want to please the queen's mother, then why did your Highness only meet one Niu Lao? It stands to reason that the five marquis of the Eastern Wilderness should go to Beijing together and dedicate Miss Ling to the queen together, then that's right." ”
Xiao Sheng said with a smile: "The five marquis of the Eastern Wilderness are not monolithic. For example, Sima Tianxia, the leader of the Golden Scale Society, is a mortal enemy with Wen Dahai, the owner of Tiger Shark Island. Niu Lao must also be at odds with the others. Even, he may still think that he can take advantage of this queen's birthday banquet to attack the other four marquis and monopolize the benefits for his own family. If the five characters of the Five Marquis of the Eastern Wilderness can be removed, it will certainly be great. ”
Guan Canghai suddenly realized. nodded again and again: "I see." The old slave understood. But...... What should we do now? Your Highness, how do you want to place Miss Ziling? After all, this is the Imperial Palace, and you can't house her for a long time. ”
Xiao Sheng smiled and said, "Then it depends on Sister Ziling's own thoughts." Immediately turning his gaze to Ling Ziling, Wen Yan asked, "Sister Ziling, what do you think?"
Ling Ziling snorted coldly: "What does Miss Ben think, does it matter? A weak woman who has no fists and no courage is not at your mercy? If you love to be confined, you will be confined, if you love kidnapping, you will be kidnapped, you will be scolded, you will be beaten, whatever you want." But I warn you. Don't think that you can take out the secret of the Nether Bead from Miss Ben. ”
Regarding Ling Ziling's bad attitude, Xiao Sheng was not angry. Smiled: "What do you say?"
Ling Ziling was a little proud, and said viciously: "Hmph, Miss Ben has the seal of the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Sect of the past dynasties. How to refine the Nether Bead, although Miss Ben knows, she can't say it.
If you want to use force, then you will touch the seal, and 'boom~' will explode all at once. It's too powerful to imagine. When the time comes, Miss Ben will definitely die, and you should not think that you will be able to keep this life. Everyone beat the chickens and eggs, and scattered in two. No one will be able to refine the Nether Bead anymore. ”
Xiao Sheng reached out and touched her hair, and said gently: "Sister Ziling, don't worry. I don't have much interest in Nether Orbs. However, there are quite a few people out there who are interested. Well...... Actually, you are willing to follow me here to use my identity to avoid those who are interested in the Nether Orb, right?"
Ling Ziling slammed Xiao Sheng's hand away, and said angrily, "Bah, it's Miss Ben who is blind." Seeing that you have good skills, and your surname is Xiao, plus the material of this set of clothes on your body, Miss Ben still thinks that you are the Prince of Sword, or the Prince of Xia.
If those two were to protect Miss Ben, it would be more than enough. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a deposed prince. You can't even protect yourself on your own, can you? What else do you say to protect Miss Ben...... If you don't have diamond ware, don't work on porcelain. ”
Xiao Sheng smiled and said, "Do you want to find the fourth brother and the thirteenth brother?" Well, the idea is not bad. However, a few months ago, the Huang River overflowed and caused flooding. The fourth brother and the thirteenth brother went out of Beijing for disaster relief together, and they haven't come back yet. You want to find them, but you can't find them.
Otherwise, let's stay here for the time being. It won't be long before the Queen's birthday. The fourth brother and the thirteenth brother will definitely come back to celebrate their birthday. When the time comes, I'll take you to them again?"
Ling Ziling was unfamiliar with Luojing's life, and she had nowhere to go when she left the palace. And she also vaguely knew that the other four families of the Five Marquis of the Eastern Wilderness, after Niu Lao kidnapped her, were unwilling to let the Yiqimen family take advantage, so they also chased after Luo Jing.
If he leaves the palace now, there is a high chance that he will run into them. Didn't he just get out of the tiger's mouth and enter the wolf's den again?
Ling Ziling sighed and said helplessly: "...... That can't be helped, so that's it. As he spoke, he couldn't help but yawn. "Well, anyway, it's always you who saved me." Thank you. In the next period of time, I will have to take care of you a lot. Well, now I'm tired and want to rest. You've got an extra bed here, right?"
Xiao Sheng smiled: "That's natural." Grandpa Guan, I'm sorry for you to take Sister Ziling to rest. ”
Guan Canghai got up and agreed. beckoned to Ling Ziling and took her to the guest room to rest. Xiao Sheng was left alone, still sitting at the table. It is not only to sort out the ins and outs of the whole thing, but also to ponder the future response.
It turned out that the Dahao Dynasty was today's son Emperor Xuan, not counting daughters, and gave birth to fourteen sons. However, five of them died young. There are only nine people who can survive until now, including Xiao Sheng.
The eldest prince Xiao Yi, although he is the eldest son, is not a descendant. He once accidentally broke his leg when he was a teenager. Grew up to be crippled. Therefore, in the court, behind his back, they all called him "the lame prince".
The second prince, Xiao Ang, is the eldest son of the queen. Although he has not yet been officially made a prince, he has always been regarded as a prince. Everyone called him "Prince Chu".
Xiao Xing, the third prince, is an elegant person. Piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, all of them are fine. The classics of all schools of thought can be memorized backwards. The title of "Prince of Confucianism" is absolutely well deserved.
The fourth prince, Xiao Yu, has an extraordinary talent in the way of the sword. As early as ten years ago, he was already known as one of the three top swordsmen today, and his cultivation was unfathomable. That's why he was nicknamed "Prince of Sword".
Xiao Chang, the eighth prince, has always been a corporal of Lixian, and loves to be close to all kinds of talents from three religions and nine streams, and has a very good reputation among the people, and is known as "Prince Xian".
Xiao Kun, the ninth prince, is arrogant and impulsive, proud and arrogant. Flying and domineering, he loves to bully men and women the most, and there are many illegal acts. He has the notoriety of "Prince Huan".
Xiao Chen, the tenth prince, is stingy, but he has a way to make money, and he is a veritable "Prince of Wealth".
Xiao Jing, the thirteenth prince, is upright and brave, and has a chivalrous personality. When the road is uneven, you must draw a sword to help. Coupled with the courage and good fighting, he is the "Prince of Chivalry".
In the end, it was naturally Xiao Sheng himself, the fourteenth prince, who abolished the prince. That is in the past, though. Starting with Xiao Sheng's beating of the prince and his uncle Baili Kunluo today, no one will think that Xiao Sheng is really a waste in the future.
It's a pity that Ling Ziling doesn't know these things for the time being. What's more, she didn't see the scene of the three great masters of the Yiqi Gate being cleaned up by Xiao Sheng. Therefore, it is natural that we can only look at the problem from the old eyes.
Ling Ziling knew that her situation was actually very dangerous. According to the usual ideal, a mere waste prince will definitely not be able to protect himself. On the contrary, his own existence will drag Xiao Sheng down. In any case, it was always Xiao Sheng who rescued himself from the inn. En will take revenge for this kind of thing, Ling Ziling asked herself if she could do it.
The previous posture of teeth and claws was just Ling Ziling's instinctive self-protection disguise in an unfamiliar environment. In fact, her essence is still a kind girl. This point can certainly be seen in the experience of parallel universes, Xiao Sheng, who has read all kinds of human feelings
