Chapter 391: Dying Struggle
Shen Xihe listened, her eyes froze, and some thoughts flashed in her mind, and she suddenly stood up: "Mo Yuan!" ”
The sudden shouting made everyone startled, and Mo Yuan rushed in, and before the person reached Shen Xihe, he had already swept around quickly: "County Lord, what's the matter?" ”
"Send someone...... You personally take someone to the Shen Mansion to see if the second lady is there! Shen Xi and Su Rong commanded.
Xiao Huayong also reacted, the second Xiao thought that the second lady of the Shen family was not a day or two, if the fourth child kidnapped Shen Yingwen and threatened the second child, he could not only get the help of the second child, but also contain Shen Xihe.
It was he who was careless, Shen Xihe had never been close to Shen Yingwen, and he almost forgot the existence of Shen Yingwen.
Mo Yuan received the order, and as soon as he walked to the gate of the county lord's mansion, a person stumbled over, it was Shen Yingwen's nurse Tan, as soon as Tan saw Mo Yuan, he rushed over and grabbed Mo Yuan's arm, and knelt down: "General Mo, the second lady has been kidnapped......
Shen Yingwen is in the Shen Mansion, the Shen Mansion is as heavily guarded, it belongs to the garrison specifications of the palace, and it is at the feet of the Son of Heaven, except for a bold person like Xiao Changtai, no one dares to go to the Shen Mansion easily.
Since the death of Princess Changling, Shen Yingwen has been living in a simple place, her mother is filial, if it is not necessary to attend the banquet, or occasionally go out of the house to relax, she is basically in the Shen Mansion, today someone broke into her boudoir and took her away Such a thing, she never thought that it would happen in the palace.
A quarter of an hour ago, Xiao Changtai came to King Zhao's Mansion, dressed in coarse cloth, disguised as a person delivering firewood, and through the steward, he hid the eyeliner of other people in King Zhao's Mansion and saw Xiao Changmin, King of Zhao.
"The fourth brother is so bold, he fled back to Kyoto from the imperial tomb privately, if Your Majesty knows, you will be the prince and your life will not be guaranteed."
Xiao Changtai took off his hat: "Second brother, if my life is not guaranteed today, I just go to Huangquan Road early and wait for the second brother." ”
"What do you mean by that?" Xiao Changmin's face sank.
"I was forced to enter Beijing today, and my wife fell into the hands of our good seventh brother." Xiao Changtai exposed Xiao Huayong to Xiao Changmin, "Second brother, are you still like me, stupidly looking forward to our Royal Highness the Crown Prince driving west?" ”
Laughing lightly, Xiao Changtai continued: "Don't look forward to it, if you don't see his true face clearly, I'm afraid you won't even know how to die." The second brother might as well think about it, since he returned to Beijing from the Taoist temple, how much has changed in Kyoto this year?
How many forces have changed in the court? In a year's time, the leaders of the six departments have changed all over again, and the three provinces have also changed people except for Shangshu Ling Cui Zheng, which is still an important weapon of the country, and there are only countless official positions next to it.
We are fighting openly and secretly, but he is sitting and watching the monkey play, and he can't say that you and I are all monkeys he played. ”
Xiao Changmin was not much surprised, he had thought about all this, especially when Mu Nuha said in front of His Majesty that he had seen Xiao Huayong, who was very skilled, he had never relaxed his guard against Xiao Huayong for a moment, but Xiao Huayong was the crown prince, who would dare to do it easily?
What is the difference between murdering the prince and rebellion? Who wants to make a wedding dress for someone else? Pull the crown prince down and pay for himself and others?
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is unfathomable, why aren't you hidden from it?" Xiao Changmin sneered, "Fourth brother, my brother is not a fool, it is useless for you to tell me this, I am happy to see you and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince compete for high and low, it is a good thing to be able to sit and reap the profits, if not, I will not be fishy." ”
"The second brother has always looked forward to the future." Xiao Changtai's eyes flashed with a wisp of ridicule, "But my younger brother learned a trick from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince......"
As he spoke, Xiao Changtai took out a peony flower and shook it and put it in front of Xiao Changmin: "Fourth brother is familiar with this thing?" ”
This step shake, as long as the princes and princesses who have gone to school with Shen Yingwen are familiar with it, this is Shen Yingwen's favorite step shake, and she often wears it.
"You dare!" Xiao Changmin was furious, slapped his palm on the high table and suddenly stood up, and as his applause fell, the guards guarding outside rushed in, "Take him down!" ”
"Second brother, it's useless for you to arrest me." Xiao Changtai was not afraid, "I didn't think about going back as early as the moment I stepped into Kyoto, a few more people were buried with me, why not?" It's just a pity that the county lord of Huaiyang, cardamom is in his prime, and his face is ......"
Xiao Changmin drew his sword and put it on Xiao Changtai's neck: "Where is she?" ”
"The second brother helped me leave Kyoto alive, and I let the county lord of Huaiyang return to the palace alive." Xiao Changtai smiled fearlessly.
Xiao Changmin's eyes were cold, and the hand holding the hilt of the sword tightened inch by inch.
"Hehehe......" Xiao Changtai laughed in a low voice, not only did he not move back, but moved forward, the blade of the sword rubbed a slender blood mark on his neck, and he was not afraid at all.
On the contrary, Xiao Changmin saw him like this, and kept retreating until he reached the wall and could not retreat, and the guards around him did not dare to act rashly without Xiao Changmin's order.
Xiao Changtai grabbed Xiao Changmin's shoulder, and held Xiao Changmin's hand holding the hilt of the sword with one hand, with a ruthless look on his face: "Second brother, even if I escape from the imperial tomb, it won't be your turn to kill me?" Do you dare to do it to me? Kill me, your sweetheart will be buried with you, and your good life will be ruined. ”
Just as not everyone has the right to kill a criminal. Xiao Changtai smuggled away from the imperial tomb, it is an unforgivable crime, and if Xiao Changmin kills him, it is also an unforgivable crime.
pushed Xiao Changmin away, Xiao Changtai ignored the blood beads on his neck: "The prince's people will find me soon, whether to help my younger brother or not, the second brother chooses for himself." ”
He only stayed in the Zhaowang Mansion for a quarter of an hour, and no matter how long the time was, he really couldn't get out of the Zhaowang Mansion, otherwise the prince only needed to lead someone to block him in the Zhaowang Mansion and arrest him in front of His Majesty, which would be enough to punish him.
When Xiao Changtai left King Zhao's Mansion, it was when the Tan family ran to the County Lord's Mansion to inform Shen Yingwen of the news of her abduction.
Xiao Huayong personally went to King Zhao's Mansion, Xiao Changmin was already as usual, and respectfully greeted His Royal Highness the Prince.
"Second brother, do you have something to say to Lone?" Xiao Huayong asked.
Xiao Changmin was puzzled: "Why did the prince say this?" When the prince came, he asked me what I had to tell the prince? ”
Xiao Huayong looked at him lightly: "Since the second brother has nothing to say to Gu, Gu will tell the second brother about it." ”
"Prince, please speak." Xiao Changmin said respectfully.
"The person behind the tomb robbery who joined forces with the Li family is the fourth brother." Xiao Huayong spit out this sentence lightly.
Xiao Changmin bowed slightly, half-hanging his eyelids, covering the obscurity under his eyes: "Thank you, Your Highness, for informing me, I will go to verify." ”
