The eldest grandson and his entourage left Liu's mansion and walked on the streets of the inner service area.

At this time, Wu Qing looked at everything around him, but his mood was completely different from before.

All this prosperity is like a mirror, and it seems that a single ripple can break the scene.

He still didn't want to believe that there were so many secrets behind the prosperous dynasty that he was proud of.

Tang Yuyan was also a little complicated, she looked at the eldest grandson walking in front of her, and asked in a low voice, "Where are we going next?" ”

The eldest grandson looked up at the horizon, where the sun was obscured by the surrounding rooftops.

"It's time to find a place to stay......"

Wu Qing, who originally wanted to fulfill the friendship of the landlord, became silent because of all that he had just experienced, and just followed the eldest grandson to the outside of the inner service area.

Wu Qing actually has a lot of questions about everything just now, such as what else is the inside story of the Autumn Hunting Rebellion they are talking about? What is a bureau?

Another example is the "he" in their mouths, is it ...... Referring to the Holy One today?

And also......

It's just that he doesn't dare to ask these questions now......

He was afraid that the answers he would get would subvert his perceptions, and he needed time to accept them.

But just because he doesn't ask doesn't mean that someone doesn't ask.

"Do you believe what they say?"

Pingchuan, who walks in the world from Pingling Prefecture, lacks some instinctive awe for Shang Shuling, who is above 10,000 people under one person, or for the eldest princess who lives in Qu'an Temple and has hands and eyes.

That's exactly what he said, so he didn't believe 100% what these two big men said.

The eldest grandson turned his head to look at Pingchuan.

Although I don't know how strong he is, just walking this identity is enough for him to question the truth of what these two big men just said.

The eldest grandson did not hide anything from the few people behind him, and said directly: "I don't believe ...... all."

Hirakawa nodded, he didn't think that the two of them had told the truth just now, or that they had told the whole truth.

The eldest grandson became interested and asked, "Why do you doubt them?" ”

Hirakawa shrugged and gave a reply that sounded like a perfunctory.

"Intuition, it's the feeling that they're not telling the whole truth......"

The eldest grandson didn't feel that Pingchuan was fooling him, but nodded.

"And why do you doubt them?"

Hirakawa asked casually, but did not expect the eldest grandson's answer.

After all, he only intuitively felt that the two of them were hiding something, and he didn't think that the eldest grandson could find any flaws in the two of them.

On the contrary, the eldest grandson began to think seriously about how to answer this question.

After a while, the eldest grandson asked rhetorically, "Which of the two of them do you think knows Emperor Yaozong better?" ”

Pingchuan was stunned, although he had been hiding in Pingling Prefecture, he could know the answer to this question without thinking about it.

"Of course it's the eldest princess, after all, she and Emperor Yaozong are brothers and sisters......"

Speaking of which, Hirakawa faintly caught a hint of abnormality.

As he said, if you want to know Emperor Yaozong, of course, it belongs to the eldest princess who has fought for the throne and is a brother and sister with Emperor Yaozong.

But in terms of the situation just now, it was Liu Xinyan who showed that he knew more about Emperor Yaozong.

This is not an exact flaw, but it is an unusual suspicion.

Pingchuan nodded when he thought of this, and his colleagues were a little amazed that the eldest grandson was so young, but his observation was so meticulous.

"When did you start becoming suspicious?"

Hirakawa then asked.

"It was Liu Xinyan's words that made me suspicious......"

"He said, 'With what I know about him', this is not like what a courtier can say, let alone what Liu Xinyan can say......"

Pingchuan nodded, although he didn't know much about Liu Xinyan, but now that he thinks about it, this sentence is really suspicious.

Emperor Yaozong is such a deep existence in the city, I am afraid that no one dares to claim to know about him, not to mention that Liu Xinyan is just a courtier.

But Pingchuan didn't expect that just such a simple sentence could make the eldest grandson alert.

……

At the same time, when a few people walked out of the inner service area, Shang Shuling's special driver stopped in front of Liu's mansion.

After a while, Liu Xinyan walked out of the mansion, hurriedly got into the carriage and drove towards a restaurant in Jiangling District.

After the carriage arrived at the restaurant, Liu Xinyan walked straight to the box on the second floor of the restaurant, and did not come out after entering the box.

It's just that not long after Liu Xinyan entered the box, an ordinary carriage came from the alley at the back door of the restaurant.

The narrow alleys did not allow the carriage to travel very fast.

The carriage didn't stop past the back door of the restaurant, but it was slow enough for a man in a black robe to get into the carriage.

After the carriage drove out of the alley, the coachman shook the reins in his hand and urged the carriage to drive towards the inner quarters.

At the time of a stick of incense, the carriage came to the front of the Qu'an Temple, and the carriage drove straight into the temple without notification.

After a while, the mysterious man appeared in the hall where the eldest princess had just met with the eldest grandson.

Looking at the dignified eldest princess behind her through the screen, the mysterious man did not hesitate to tear off his cloak and bow down.

"Minister Liu Xinyan meets Her Royal Highness the eldest princess."

After the mysterious man revealed his true face, it was the current Shang Shuling, Liu Xinyan.

If anyone knew that Liu Xinyan came to meet the eldest princess, it would definitely cause an uproar in the court.

After all, Liu Xinyan can be regarded as the confidant of the saint at that time, and at this time, he actually came to meet the eldest princess without the saint.

"Let's be flat."

The eldest princess's words were cold, without a trace of emotion.

The maid brought a seat for Liu Xinyan, although he was now a scholar above ten thousand people under one person, but he still seemed cautious and cautious when facing the eldest princess.

He would not be so stupid as to think that the eldest princess has fallen to the point of "being bullied by dogs in Pingyang".

"Wangcai...... How many of the Nameless Talismans went to see you? ”

The eldest princess asked softly.

When he heard the name "Wangcai", Liu Xinyan's eyes couldn't help but light up, but then he regained his calm.

"Back to Your Highness, the minister has already seen the nameless talisman master, and he did it all according to His Highness's wishes......"

The eldest princess nodded when she heard this.

"You've done a good job over the years......"

For so many years, no one knew that Liu Xinyan was the eldest princess, and today's meeting was the only one since the Autumn Hunt Rebellion.

Liu Xinyan lowered his head, and there was no joy in his eyes that he should have after receiving appreciation.

He's changed a lot over the years.

At that time, he would rather be a scholar than participate in the party struggle, but now he is firmly marked by the DPRK and China as the "Liu Party".

These are all things that changed after the Akigami Rebellion.

It was only after that that he understood that if he wanted to enter the court as an official and do things for the people, these compromises were the price he had to pay.

It's just that he has never been able to adapt to these party power struggles, and he is far from being as calm and comfortable as the "Lord Wangcai" in his mind, which is also where he has struggled and suffered over the years.

Thinking of this, Liu Xinyan couldn't help but speak carefully: "Your Highness, since you are Lord Wangcai...... Then why bother, he will definitely stop ......"

Liu Xinyan didn't dare to say it bluntly, but the eldest princess understood what Liu Xinyan meant.

Just as the eldest grandson guessed, the eldest princess and the two did not tell him the truth, or did not tell the truth completely.

What the two of them said to the eldest grandson today is actually a kind of intentional guidance.

deliberately led the eldest grandson to guess Emperor Yaozong's intentions, and deliberately ignored the purpose of the bereaved family in this game.

What Liu Xinyan wants to say is this, since there is the participation of the bereaved family, and at the same time, it is the prosperity of the year, then he will definitely do his best to stop Emperor Yaozong and the bereaved family, why bother?

The eldest princess was not annoyed by Liu Xinyan's questioning, but asked with a smile: "Do you think he is prosperous?" Or rather...... Who are they? ”

Who are they?

If the eldest grandson is here, he will definitely break out in a cold sweat.

The eldest grandson didn't know what the eldest princess meant by this, but if he heard this, he would definitely have a trace of speculation in his heart.

But Liu Xinyan obviously understood what the eldest princess was referring to.

It's just that he can't think of an answer either.

The nameless talisman seemed to be more like Wangcai back then, that momentum, the clarity in his eyes made Liu Xinyan almost sure that he hadn't changed for so many years.

But it is also this that Liu Xinyan is not sure of. After all these years, nothing seems to have changed in him, as if he came from yesterday.

How is this possible......

The eldest princess saw Liu Xinyan's confusion, and said with a smile: "Okay, don't embarrass you, I don't have an answer to this question......

"But the first time I saw the Nameless Talisman, I knew one thing."

"He hasn't changed his ...... in so many years"

"The prosperity of the year seemed to be a slippery philistine, but in fact he was a calf who was not afraid of heaven and earth. It is impossible for such a person to make him make a compromise that goes against his heart......"

"Even if he makes a little compromise, I'm not sure I can do it."

The eldest princess didn't continue, but Liu Xinyan already understood.

If the eldest grandson is not guided and let him focus on Emperor Yaozong, he will inevitably do his best to stop the remnants in the New Era Cup, and may even directly reveal the traces of the remnants before the finals even begin.

In that case, the eldest princess's plan would not be able to proceed.

Liu Xinyan's eyes became even more gray at this time.

At that time, he made a change and chose to stand on the side of the eldest princess, in order to realize the "Four Sentences of Hengqu" that Wangcai shouted during the battle at the summit.

The price he paid for making compromises over the years proved to be worth it. Since he took the position of Shangshuling, he has done countless practical things to improve people's livelihood and well-being.

But at this moment, he was shaken again, was his original choice really right? Will one compromise be exchanged for countless regressions?

The eldest princess saw Liu Xinyan's struggle at this time, and snorted coldly and said, "Is it too late to shake now?"

Liu Xinyan instantly broke into a cold sweat, hurriedly cleaned up his mood, and responded: "The minister doesn't dare to have two hearts!"

The eldest princess knew Liu Xinyan's character, and being able to say such words was enough to prove his loyalty, so she said in a slightly softened tone: "You have also seen it in today's court, if you want to make changes, you must break and stand up!"

Liu Xinyan raised his head, and his eyes returned to firmness.

His experience in the imperial court for more than ten years made him understand that the eldest princess was not brainwashing him at this time.

At the same time, he also knows very well that in today's world, with his identity, even if he is now Shang Shuling, if he wants to accomplish what he wants in his heart, he must have a leader like the eldest princess.

……

On the other side, the eldest grandson and his family did not find an inn with empty rooms until they arrived in Shunfeng District.

"Let's stay here today."

Everyone looked at the small inn in front of them, and knew in their hearts that the current situation of housing in the imperial capital was tight, and it was not the time to talk about pomp.

Several people entered the inn and asked Xiao Er for housing, and a small episode occurred.

Because the housing is really tight, there are only two houses left, so only the three of Changsun, Pingchuan and Wuqing can squeeze one house, and Tang Yuyan uses one.

Originally, Wu Qing was preparing to return to the Imperial Capital Mansion when he saw this situation, but when he thought that he might be able to take the opportunity to see the true face of the Nameless Talisman Master and Pingchuan when he slept at night, Wu Qing immediately stayed with a heartbeat.
