Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Two Heroes

This courtyard has a bit of Taoist characteristics, there are two bronze crane incense burners on the left and right in front of the main hall, there are pillars in front of the hall to support the corridor, Hunan curtains are hung all around, and the curtains in the doors and windows are all plain.

Zhang Xiaojing helped Princess Xianyi to the steps, and only then did he dare to let go of her, bent down and crossed his hands and said, "I'm sorry, I offended Her Royal Highness the princess, but the two of us are also helpless today."

Maybe it was Princess Xianyi's arrogance of being a nobleman, or the stubbornness and toughness in their Li family's bones, she raised her head and said coldly: "Didn't you just say that you are not afraid of death?" Why do you apologize to me now, do you think that if you get my forgiveness, you can escape the punishment of my Datang law? The murderers and evildoers can only escape for a while, and when they leave this princess's mansion, the two of you still have nothing to hide!"

Zhang Xiaojing couldn't imagine that Princess Xianyi was controlled by others, and she could be so sharp and sharp-mouthed, she wanted to scare her and teach her a lesson, but she was a weak woman after all. Although he was not a big husband, he couldn't do anything to a woman, so he could only snort and ask, "Is there an exit to other places in this western courtyard?"

Princess Xianyi stubbornly raised her face to look at the air in front of her, as if she was going to resist to the end.

Li Siye cooled down from the initial impulse, from secretly stumbling and killing people just now, to confronting everyone in the Horse Mansion with sticks, and now kidnapping Princess Xianyi, he didn't know how he had experienced this way. Now that I have calmed down a little, I realize that I am sliding quickly from the road of death to the abyss of death, which is really lifeless.

Hearing the princess's words, he subconsciously shot back: "Who is not afraid of death?" We struggled all the way through the Pony Mansion, just to find a way to survive. I, Li Siye, have always believed that there is no distinction between high and low human life, and the body of your lord is a life, is it not the life of our low-level officials? You can kill your bastard colt at will?"

Her Royal Highness the princess never refused to admit defeat in her mouth, and retorted with a cold snort: "How can a colt kill people casually? If you hadn't provoked him, he wouldn't have been so angry. ”

"Of course Yang Juma won't kill people casually." Li Siye carried forward the cynical methods of modern keyboard warriors: "He just used our two little lives to frame the prince, and once he failed, he was angry and wanted to kill us."

"What did you say?" Princess Xianyi was surprised, her face turned fair, and the plum blossom makeup on her forehead was reflected in her skin.

Li Siye looked at the princess's surprised look, not like she was pretending. This is unbelievable, as Concubine Wu Hui's own daughter, she doesn't know what her mother and husband are doing behind their backs?

Yang Xun's shout sounded outside the gate: "Xianyi! Savory! I'll go in and save you right away. ”

"Knock the door open for me!"

There was a cracking sound from the courtyard door, and the housekeepers shouted trumpets and slammed hard objects against the door walls.

Li Siye didn't want to delve into why the princess was kept in the drum by the concubine, so he simply shook things out for her, anyway, the situation is no worse than now, if their young couple has a dislike because of this, maybe there will be unexpected effects.

"Don't pretend to me you don't know. The prince's east palace grew Shuolian, the demons in Liquan County, Jingzhao Mansion made a rebellion, and your concubine was extremely smart, bringing together two things that were not related to each other, and made up the proverb that the holy lotus was born and was clear in the world. ”

"Our two innocent trappers were forcibly involved by the horses because of the capture of the demon, and made up a confession for us to perjury! If we didn't comply, we would threaten our lives, and we were forced to have no choice, and we didn't want to slander the prince falsely, so we killed the only main witness before the eunuch Gao Lishi interrogated. ”

"That's why your colts want to kill us!"

Li Siye may have been a little excited when she spoke, or the princess was frightened by this terrible news, her body leaned softly against the pillar behind her, and the emotions of surprise, fear, and sadness on her face changed back and forth, and finally turned into a teardrop hanging in the corner of her eye.

Zhang Xiaojing frowned and looked at the princess, now that their life and death are hanging by a thread, it is bad enough, and the princess has three longs and two shorts...... Isn't it still a death in the end?

Zhang Xiaojing muttered to Li Siye: "What do you do when you talk to a woman about her?"

Princess Xianyi suddenly sat upright, swept away the sadness on her pretty face, and asked the two of them, "Do you two want to live?"

Zhang Xiaojing and Li Siye's expressions changed, and they said in unison: "Of course I want to."

The princess had already stood up, gently arranged the silk curtain on her shoulders, and turned back to the pendant bun and swayed to hang the jade muscles.

"If you want to live, come with me."

……

Yang Wei stood outside the wall and kept shouting inside, and the soldiers of the family found a rice pestle from nowhere, and three or four people hugged it and hit it together.

The latch of the door was finally cracked and broken, and everyone stumbled into a stall, Yang Wei lifted his hem and crossed the threshold, and walked towards the courtyard first.

The courtyard was long deserted, the willow leaves on the branches in the corners of the walls were swaying in the wind, and the curtains of the tents in the temple were not cluttered, as if no one had come.

Yang Wei endured the boredom in his chest and ordered everyone: "Quick, look around!"

He himself walked directly through the front hall, went around the side hall, and turned through a small door in the courtyard wall, which allowed him to enter another side courtyard.

This courtyard is the source of the water source of the lotus pond in the house, there is only one lonely pavilion in the courtyard, the blue waves are surging on the deep water pool around, and there is a spring at the bottom of the water to turn the water upward.

At this time, the sky was dark, the pavilion was wide open, the gauze tent at the corner of the pavilion was fluttering under the night breeze, and there was a beauty standing with her back to him in this fluttering tulle, and there was an indescribable sadness and melancholy in her slightly sideways figure.

Yang Wei's hanging heart finally let go, like a tired traveler after a trek, staggering forward. walked to the steps in front of the pavilion, knelt down with a thud, kneeled forward to the back of the princess, tears fell down and said in a mournful voice: "Your Royal Highness the princess, Yang Xun should die!" couldn't protect the princess thoroughly, and almost let the princess fall into the hands of thieves. ”

Princess Xianyi turned around sadly, she looked down at the man she loved so much, stretched out her hand to wrap her arms around his head, and said in a sad voice:

"Yang Lang, you and I are husband and wife, how can there be a reason for a husband to make amends to his wife. Today, when Xianyi is in danger, the husband's anxious feelings are in his eyes and painful in his heart. What did the husband do, Xianyi didn't know, and he didn't want to know. Xianyi only hopes that her husband can stay away from right and wrong, just because all right and wrong are the source of disaster. ”

Yang Xun was full of shame for a moment, and buried himself in the princess's skirt with a cry: "Princess! Yang Lang is at fault, disaster to the princess, I promise you, there will be no next time!"

Princess Xianyi wept and shook her head: "I've never worried about myself, what I'm worried about is you, Yang Lang, no matter how close the relationship between you and my father, imperial concubine and imperial brothers is, in their eyes, you are still an outsider." Maybe you can still rely on the grace and friendship of your father and mother today, but once they leave, who will care about you. ”

Yang Wei raised her head and let her reach out to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes.

"The princess taught me that Yang Xun is willing to correct it."

But the subtext in his heart was, Your Royal Highness Princess, how do you know that your Yang Lang has no way out, and if you don't pull the prince off the horse, it will be my death after he ascends the throne in the future.

Luo Xingchang took the soldiers to find the courtyard from the small door, and was waiting to report to the forked hands, when he suddenly saw the scene in front of him, and hurriedly and quietly led people to slip out.

Yang Wei heard the movement behind him, raised his head from between the princess's skirts, pursed his lips and said, "I will take Jingzhao Mansion and Jin Wuwei to search for those two thieves in the whole city, and teach them to die without a place to bury!"

"Yang Lang can't!"

Yang Xun was about to turn around and stand up, but was called back by Xianyi, the princess shook her head and said, "Yang Lang don't be held responsible, spare the two of them."

Yang Wei was angry and said hatefully: "These two thieves have broken my ...... I almost ruined the lives of the princesses, and I could not spare them. ”

"Didn't Xianyi stand in front of you with a good look, the two of them are not evil-minded, and there is nothing wrong with them, the only fault is that they just want to live. Think about it, my father also taught us that we should not behave lightly and harm the lives of others. You've promised to let them live as long as they're okay. How can a man be unfaithful? If you forgive them, it will be an opportunity to settle their grudges, and they will not resent you in the future. ”

Yang Xun rarely pulled the princess's hand to his cheek and rubbed it and said, "Since the princess wants to spare their lives, Yang Huo will let them go once." Princess, the night breeze in the pavilion is cool, I better help you back to the main hall of the East Courtyard to rest. ”

The maidservant girl in the house rushed over, brought two cloaks to put on the horse and the princess, Yang Xun held the princess's hand, and walked slowly along the stone path in the courtyard.

Luo Xingchang found an opportunity, and caught up from behind and asked in a low voice: "The horse can send me to Jingzhao Mansion and Jin Wuwei to report, and take advantage of the imminent curfew, the whole city will be on alert to arrest Li Siye and Zhang Xiaojing."

The princess did not look back, but her face was cold. Yang Xun hurriedly waved his hand and said: "No need, the princess doesn't want to offend the two of them, today's events have never happened, you go and seal everyone's mouths to me, don't let anyone spread this matter."

Luo Xingchang was ordered to retreat, and Yang Xun recalled all the links of the matter, and his heart became more and more displeased with this person.

This Luo Xing often has insufficient success and more than failure. first escaped the demon outside the Yanxing Gate, and then persuaded him to coerce two reckless men into perjury in the palace, which resulted in him killing the most important witness, and almost wounding the princess. He doesn't want to call this person anymore, so let this guy sit in the seat of the army for the rest of his life.
