Hearing this, Xiao Rui's expression immediately fell.

His face was full of embarrassment and grievances, and he pleaded in a pleading tone: "Auntie, you are my own aunt. Even if the current emperor is my father-in-law, I am closer to you. What am I asking for the jade seal for? It's not for your safety. As for Datang's national fortune or not, hehe, I don't think a broken stone is useful. ”

"The problem is, if we don't take out that stone now, people won't let you and Yang Zhengdao go. Not to mention that with me as a mere marquis, even if it is my father's official to the prime minister and the founding duke, it is a matter of minutes to be crushed to death. Unless, you keep that stone to help the Great Sui restore the country? I can't agree to this, if so, then please forgive my nephew for being unfilial. ”

"You can't harm the entire Xiao family because of your selfish interests."

Queen Xiao and Xiao Rui started from the grassland, they have been together for a few months, and they know the character of this nephew very well, and he can talk about anything else, but rebellion is not good, this is his bottom line.

Alas...... What a loyal and filial son! It's a pity, why did you return to the Tang Li family? If he had been born twenty years earlier, perhaps there would have been hope for the Great Sui.

Xiao Rui continued: "Auntie, listening to your tone, it seems that you are still holding a grudge against that troubled world. ”

"Why bother? The Great Sui is gone, and the uncle Emperor Daye is an old thief who was killed by Yu Culture, not the Li family. If you talk about rebellious ministers and thieves, it's not really counted. At that time, it was like the Great Qin hundreds of years ago, Qin lost its deer, and the world chased it. After the death of Emperor Daye, the Li Tang family raised the banner to rebel, and in terms of their identity, they were still relatives of their uncle. Rather than let Guozuo fall into the hands of Yu Wenhua and those people, it is better to give it to Datang. ”

Empress Xiao snorted coldly: "You are loyal to the Li family. ”

Xiao Rui waved his hand and said: "My nephew is not interceding for anyone, he has said so much, he is just saying one thing - you can't hate Datang." ”

Empress Xiao scoffed, "He Li Yuanshi received the emperor's favor, and His Majesty entrusted him with a heavy task to put him in charge of Taiyuan and Shanxi, in the end?" Your Majesty Yangzhou had an accident, he didn't want to avenge the king, but he set up his own door to usurp the throne and Chang'an, you say he shouldn't hate? Boy, it's really a son-in-law and half a son, speaking for others like this. ”

Xiao Rui smiled bitterly: "Don't say that he is a Taiyuan governor, the governor of Shanxi, and the Duke of Tang Guo. Even if it is the Nine Elders of Kaisui, what about the backer of the Great Sui? Isn't it different to stop that troubled world? What is the reason for the demise of the Great Sui, I'm afraid you know best, aunt. is like a sick person who is dying and struggling with a thousand holes, and he has no skills to return to heaven, can he be helped up by the power of one person and one place? ”

"Say something you don't like to hear, where does the Yu culture and the ability to rebel come from? How many Yang disciples did he kill? Isn't it all thanks to my uncle's favor and promotion? ”

"Emperor Taishang was still the Duke of Tang Guogong at the beginning, and it is okay for you to let him assist Emperor Daye, after all, he is a cousin. But Emperor Daye is gone, the children of the Yang family have been slaughtered cleanly, relying on this bit of kinship, do you think Tang Guogong can still assist him with his life? ”

"What do you say about usurping the throne and standing on your own, hehe, the change of dynasties throughout the ages, how about Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu? How is Dahan Liu Bang? The Sima family of the Jin Dynasty, including the former Sui Yang family, which one was not a self-supporting portal? The winner is the king and the loser Kou, the former Sui holds the world, the soldiers are strong and the horses are strong, but the second died, you should reflect on the reason yourself, instead of resenting this and hating that, what's the use? ”

As he spoke, Xiao Rui turned his head, his tone became more and more critical, and he completely forgot that the woman in front of him was his own aunt, and she was already in her sixties, how could she fix it if she couldn't withstand such a heavy weight?

After finishing speaking, Xiao Rui regretted it, and hurriedly apologized: "Ahem, don't blame my aunt, my nephew was emotional for a while, and he babbled a few words, not to be disrespectful to his uncle, nor to deliberately offend you." I just want to advise you to let go of the past, and not to take your future freedom and stability for a useless broken stone. In the past ten years, you have suffered enough. ”

The last sentence was said sincerely, Queen Xiao's heart softened, although her face flushed with anger, she also saw that her nephew really cared and couldn't bear to be harsh.

With a long sigh, Empress Xiao said angrily: "You kid, you are a good eloquent. The change of dynasty, how can you explain it as a doll? How old is it, dare to talk so loudly and point out the country. ”

"At the beginning, your uncle took a few wrong steps, and everyone in the world scolded him as a tyrant, and even arranged his nickname Emperor Yang of Sui, which is really shameless! Actually, what tyrant? Didn't they want to rebel and shout? What is the danger of adding to the sin? ”

"When I was in the grassland, I saw that you kid was okay, and there was no disrespect in your words. Otherwise, even if you are my own nephew, I will not come back with you. ”

Xiao Rui bowed and saluted, "Since my aunt has figured it out, let's tell my nephew the whereabouts of the jade seal." ”

Empress Xiao spread her hands, "No, I really don't know." If I knew, I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to get out of Yangzhou City back then. ”

You......

Xiao Rui was so angry that he stomped his feet, "Auntie, there is no such thing as you, you just talked for nothing?" You might as well give us a hint. In this world, if you don't even know where the jade seal is, I'm afraid that it will be lost. ”

"Oh? Didn't you just persuade me, you were completely coaxing me? Empress Xiao glanced blankly.

Xiao Rui waved his hand: "You have it, then you can rest early, and your nephew will find it by himself." ”

Saying that, he turned around to leave, and muttered in a low voice: "I don't believe it, the history books record that the Song Dynasty is still there, can the Tang Dynasty not find it?" ”

Empress Xiao didn't hear this, but sent her nephew out with a smile, and at the same time encouraged her with a joke: "Then my aunt wishes you all the best and find the baby as soon as possible." ”

This tone ...... It's so hateful! Wait to see me laugh, huh? Seems to be sure I can't find it?

Xiao Rui was ruthless in his heart, I still have to do this today, even if it is to unlock the warehouse in the future and read all the history books...... Bah! The warehouse is a doomsday rescue warehouse, is there a history book? It's all over, what's the use of collecting history books?

Wait, there's a problem! Xiao Rui stopped.

My aunt has a problem, how dare she be sure, I can't find it? Is it hidden enough secrets? Or was it ruined? No, no, the jade seal of the country, the important weapon of the country, she is looking forward to the restoration of the former Sui Dynasty, and she must be reluctant to destroy it, so she is still hidden.

So, where is the safest place to hide, and I'm sure I can't find it?

Unless...... Unless it is、It's with you! Yes, with the safest and most precious thing with her, how could she be willing to leave her sight?

But, but the jade seal of the country is a stone seal, and the thing is not small, how can she carry it with her? Not to mention that I didn't see the escort all the way, even Wang Shichong, Dou Jiande and others she had experienced didn't see it. Where will it be hidden?

Xiao Rui turned around and walked quickly back into Empress Xiao's house.

Empress Xiao panicked, "What? Aren't you looking for a baby? I still don't believe it, I don't say it, you can't get entangled, can you? ”

"You, you...... Wait, what are you rummaging through? This is your home! ”

Xiao Rui smiled, "Auntie, it's my family." But now it's your room, so why be so nervous if you don't have a ghost in your heart? Unless...... Unless the heirloom jade seal is in your house, you are afraid that your nephew will find it. ”

"You, you search, you search...... Feel free to search. is his own nephew, and his aunt is not guarded against her own people. Take whatever you like, and your aunt will give it to you. Empress Xiao simply let go and generously let it go.

Xiao Rui keenly caught that the other party's eyes were evasive, and he glanced at the bed intentionally or unintentionally.

Moving his gaze to the bed, the corners of Xiao Rui's eyes shrank slightly, and he found it, it was the red jade pillow! That's right, this thing is the soft thing that my aunt has to carry with her to escape for her life, is it just because of a piece of red jade? I don't believe it! Empress Da Sui, what haven't you seen? Do you care about a stone? Unless, this is no ordinary stone.

Seeing Xiao Rui reach out to take the red jade pillow, Queen Xiao panicked, "Put it down!" This one is not good, this red jade pillow is a gift from your uncle, and it is your aunt's only thought, Rui'er, you can choose another gift. ”
