Chapter 11: The Princess's Past (2)
"You, how do you know......" The princess's eyes were full of shock, he knew what Chen Yuan knew, but he didn't expect that even her background would be known.
"Isn't it obvious? The monk and Jiang Mi who he waited for both called you a princess, Li Niang called the monk General Wen, as far as I know, the only general surnamed Wen of the six countries in the Western Regions is Wen Di, who died in the battle of the Ghost White Kingdom, right? Back then, I suffered a big loss to the army. This monk surnamed Wen is his son, right? The sect to which Jiang Mi belongs is called the Meiwan Sect. Just the word charming, don't be too obvious, isn't it the meaning of the ghost white? Chen Yuan said with a smile.
The princess was silent, but she clenched the square handkerchief in her hand, and her lips pursed a little. After a moment, he said, "Then how did you know before this?" How do you know how to follow me and find where? ”
"I didn't expect it to be you at first, after all, you are the biological mother of the little prince, and you also love Xiaoyun on weekdays." Tatsu Yuandao.
"That's ......," the princess wondered what had gone wrong.
"There are a lot of doubts." Tatsu Yuandao.
Seeing that the princess was staring at herself, she didn't ask, so she continued: "The little prince is missing, and the soldiers in the palace have searched the entire palace and have not found anyone, and they even suspect that my brother, who had a conflict with the little prince yesterday, assassinated Xiaoyun." But that's it, I don't see you come to the little prince's house to turn around, and actually run to tell fortunes, although I can't find the way to measure the word and determine the direction of the word, but this is a living person, who can think of this method for a while, unless it is really no way. ”
"I'm a woman, and my leg is still injured...... "The princess wanted to find a reasonable excuse.
"When it comes to your leg injury, that's the key. If the leg is injured, the chair can appear justifiably in various occasions where it is needed. Again, when we finished drinking that day, when you came to see the little prince, although the rain was much lighter, it didn't stop after all. Would you rather have another maid who specializes in holding an umbrella, rather than a sedan chair with curtains and a top and a cover, and you have to sit on this chair, wouldn't it seem that this chair is too important. Chen Yuan interrupted.
"How do you know the chair is hollow?" The princess asked.
"My little nephew noticed that your chair was thicker than usual." Chen Yuan said with a smile.
"Just that's thicker?" The princess said.
"It also relies on the footprints of different shades when the sedan chair driver goes back and forth on the muddy floor." Chen Yuan continued.
"It's raining just right." The princess smiled bitterly.
"The other one is Tingting." Tatsu Yuandao.
"What happened to the girl?" The princess was puzzled.
"That girl just told you what she found suspicious, and you actually drove her out of the house directly, and you wanted to kill her." Tatsu Yuandao.
"When did I think about killing my mouth? Not only that, but he also gave her a lot of possessions, so that she would not talk more when she returned. The princess said.
"Oh? That's his idea. Chen Yuan muttered.
"Who? What's the idea? The princess wondered.
"The fortune teller is the monk. Do you know that the bald donkey used these belongings of yours to find someone who wanted to make money to harm Tingting's life? Chen Yuan asked.
"Huh? How so? I just told him not to play that trick of pressing the bed again, and the maids in my house have found out the clues. The princess said.
"Fortunately, we also want to know this clue, otherwise this Tingting family would have died at this moment." Tatsu Yuandao.
"He's really capable of doing such a thing." The princess whispered.
"We cleaned up the gang, and when we asked them, they said that there was a fortune teller who said that there was a fortune here that belonged to him. When I asked the fortune teller again, it turned out to be the person the princess was looking for. Chen Yuan said with a smile.
"There are so many fortune tellers in the city, and the one that is not the closest to the palace is not the most famous one in the city, why does the princess want to find that person?" Chen Yuan continued.
"I want to eat early in that alley before I go, and it just so happens that there is one in the alley." The princess said.
"It's a coincidence, it just so happened that the fortune teller came when the princess was going to eat bean curd, and it happened that the fortune teller could cover her legs with the table circumference of the fortune telling booth so as not to dirty her clothes. Those who have long been hidden under the table can open the side panels and move out the little prince. "Chen Yuandao.
"And the latter is even more coincidental, you arranged for a servant girl to come to my lustful brother to compensate for it, but the servant girl happened to come to menstruation, and then my brother happened to be on the bed that night. During the day we discovered the secret of putting the medicine on the menstrual cloth, and the maidservant happened to be wearing the side that had not been smeared. And the one who waits for this maid to wash and dress happens to be the princess's personal maid. "Chen Yuandao.
"And ......" Chen Yuan was about to say more, but the princess interrupted him with a voice.
"Hey......" the princess sighed and said, "What you say is true." ”
"So you don't know what way to let the soldiers of the battalion come to me and say that they have been pressed by ghosts, I am naturally anxious. This was clearly not in my plan, and I had already worked hard to get Yun'er out, so how could there be something that I didn't know about? So I'll go to the Lord and ask for an explanation, after all, it's about my children, and I'm afraid that something will happen. The princess said.
"Yes, I just need to keep up with my aunt, and I found out that the monk and the fortune teller are the same person, and they are also the general Wen in Li Niang's mouth." Tatsu Yuandao.
Chen Yuan saw that the princess was silent, and then said: "That Wendi has great military achievements, which is equivalent to carrying the country that has been destroyed for twenty years by himself, and your father and king will promise you to his son. Unexpectedly, not long after the promise, the city was broken. But even if he didn't get married, how could he leave you and run away? ”。
"Oh, the princess of the dead country. What works for them sticks to you. It's useless, heh......" The princess smiled bitterly.
"At least he really didn't hurt Xiaoyun, and he also detoxified Xiaoyun and exposed himself in one fell swoop." Tatsu Yuandao.
"He did it on purpose, so that when he went back, it could be said that I forced him to detoxify the poison, and when the prince came back, he was exposed, so he didn't have to stay here." The princess laughed disdainfully.
"What are they planning? Do you want to return to China? Chen Yuan asked.
"Even my female stream knows that there is no hope of recovering the country, will they not know?" The princess sneered.
"Then what did they bother to know from Xiaoyun what they were doing?" Tatsu Yuandao.
"They said that the king of Dingxi guards the lifeblood of Nanqi, and even if they can't restore the country, they want to destroy what the prince is guarding." The princess said.
"Do you know what that is?" Chen Yuan asked.
"All I know is what's inside behind a bronze door." The princess shook her head.
Chen Yuan was silent, bowing his head and thinking about something.
"After the destruction of the country, the escaped courtiers hid in a country manor, bent on revenge. Finally, Emperor Nanqi patrolled the territory to the west, and after careful planning, he intended to assassinate him. Unexpectedly, all the good hands who went out to assassinate were folded there, and only one of the national teachers was seriously injured and fled back, and when he came back, he left the information that the king of Dingxi was guarding the lifeblood of the dynasty, but there were only a few numbers, and he was breathed without saying it clearly. The princess said.
Chen Yuan listened quietly, without making a sound, similar to what he had heard before. It seems that this princess reciprocated the favor and had nothing to hide from herself.
"Since then I've been at their mercy like a puppet, saying I'm a princess at best and a dog at worst. On the surface, he respects you very much, but he can ask you to do anything, and if you don't obey the slightest, he will use national hatred and family hatred to teach you a lesson, and even threaten you. As she spoke, the princess's eyes turned red again.
"They knew that the prince was guarding Nanqi's lifeline, so they planned to find out what it was. I don't know how I got on the line with the prime minister of Nanqi, and the prime minister actually admitted that I was his biological daughter who stayed in the countryside before entering Beijing. Then I made a marriage contract with the prince's father, and I was actually arranged to go to the prince's side to find out the news for them! The princess cried, but Chen Yuan was still silent.
"After so many years, I've been constantly asked if I've made progress. Since I married the prince, I have felt more relaxed than ever, and I finally don't have to breathe as if I was overwhelmed by Mount Tai every day. I have always lived with the prince wholeheartedly, the prince seems to be majestic, but in fact, he treats me considerately, I am willing to have two children......" The princess said this, stopped her tears, and gently looked at the little prince who was still snoring on the bed, her eyes were full of happiness. But after just a moment, his face changed again: "But not long after I gave birth to Yun'er, a letter came from over there saying that I should go out and find a nurse for Yun'er on the grounds of insufficient milk." said that the nurse had already arranged it, and she would assist me in exploring it after entering the house. It may be that I haven't made any progress for so many years, and I'm starting to get anxious. ”
"Oh, that's how Li Niang entered the house." Chen Yuan nodded.
"Well, the two personal maids are too, they were found by Li Niang, and they have run out of the house today when they see that the situation is wrong." The princess said, and then finally smiled again: "Finally no one is watching me again." ”
"Then you can completely stop giving them a message and let Li Niang go to work alone." Tatsu Yuandao.
"You mean that you heard Yun'er talking to his father that time?" The princess said.
Chen Yuan nodded.
"That time Li Niang was not far behind me, she had a little kung fu, although she was farther away than me, she would definitely be able to hear a few words, and she would say it if I didn't say it." The princess said.
"It's a good thing you didn't hear everything, otherwise they would have known the secret." Tatsu Yuandao.
"I've heard it all." The princess said.
"Twin Peaks Sacred Mountain, under the Land Temple, Bronze Giant Gate." The princess laughed.
Chen Yuan's eyes widened in shock, it turned out that she deliberately said that she didn't hear clearly, and only said a few irrelevant words, causing Li Niang to dig out the cellar for more than half a year. Chen Yuan completely believes that the princess really wants to live a good life.
"I also heard the prince say, let Yun'er tell no one about this matter, including me." The princess said.
"So I kept pretending not to know about it in front of the prince. There were also a few times on purpose in front of Li Niang, knocking on the side to ask Yun'er about this, but fortunately, this kid really listened to his father's words, and even I didn't tell him. The princess said, more or less sad.
"So Li Niang, based on the information you said, they mistakenly deduced that the bronze giant gate is under the Qiuhuai Courtyard." Chen Yuan said with a smile.
"Then they figured out how to get you to move out of this yard so that she could do the work there." Chen Yuan laughed out loud as he spoke.
The princess looked at Chen Yuan's trembling shoulders, and also laughed out loud, and said: "It's not enough, she didn't find the yard after digging it, and it was convenient to contact me by playing this tunnel, and second, she actually wanted to dig and dig from here to see." ”
"Haha! I can't even figure out where all that dirt goes. Chen Yuan said with a smile.
"You only need to throw the soil out once, and when you dig the second place, you can fill in the first place." The princess said.
"So there's not a cellar in the underground over there, they're making fun of Li Niang." Chen Yuan said with a smile.
"Well, if you dig the cellar, won't it all collapse over there, and the house will all sink into the ground." The princess also smiled, and the whole person was obviously much more relaxed for a while.
"As soon as they heard that this Li Niang was going to start construction for the palace here, they were in a hurry, so they had the opportunity to steal the little prince." Tatsu Yuandao.
"Well, at first I absolutely disagreed, how could it be! I want to put a needle in my son's head! The princess said angrily.
As a result, they even coerced and appeased, first found a few people, and asked Jiang Mi to give me several demonstrations of soul searching on the spot, so that I knew that it was indeed harmless to people afterwards. Then he threatened me that if I didn't cooperate, I would write a letter informing my husband of my background and everything I had done in the house. I was angry and afraid, so I cooperated with them and stole my son out. After the princess finished speaking, she looked at the little prince, and her eyes were red again.
After hearing the ins and outs of this, Chen Yuan knew that this princess was also a poor person. As long as she is dedicated to not harming the prince and is good to Xiaoyun, why should she say it too much to tear down a family? Sometimes the truth doesn't matter that much.
The princess saw that Chen Yuan was silent for a long time, and she didn't know what he was thinking, so she called out: "Virtuous nephew." ”
Chen Yuan responded.
"You know everything you should know, now I have doubts, what did you say to the prince, how did you pick me off?" The princess asked curiously.
Chen Yuan smiled, knowing that she would ask, so he told the princess a rough story he made up.
"Well......" the princess muttered for a while, "there are no loopholes at a glance, but many details are not very reasonable. ”
"Don't worry too much about it, Auntie, you know all the ins and outs and all the details, and of course I think it's unreasonable in comparison. But the prince has been away for the past two days, where did he go to know so many details? "Chen Yuandao.
"The prince seems to be thick and leafy, and sometimes his heart is also very thin." The princess said.
"Wow, auntie, it's very difficult to make it on the spot, and it's not easy to make it up to this level." Chen Yuan smiled bitterly.
"Hmm...... You are also very careful. The princess stared at Chen Yuan and praised.
"Okay, I'll go to the front hall, Auntie, and the prince is probably done. You waited for Xiaoyun to wake up, so let him come to me, he hadn't eaten for two days, and he was hungry. Chen Yuan grinned.
"You're like a child when you bare your teeth." The princess also smiled, and finally said, "Go ahead." ”
Seeing that Chen Yuan was still turning a disfigured dough in his hand, whistling out of the door, the princess sighed and said, "Yun'er, there is a good brother." ”
