Seventy-four

The news of the victory of the Yanguo army in Mohe City spread throughout Handan City, and the people celebrated happily, but the news of the sacrifice of the fourth prince Tang Yuanmin in a night attack (which can be understood as missing. The imperial court chose to conceal it for the time being, after all, the Yanguo army still had to continue the campaign, directly attacking the capital of Huhai and eliminating the regime of the leader Batuna.

Emperor Yan Tang Yuanming held a celebration banquet in Xingdian, with the participation of the royal family and nobles and high-ranking officials of the imperial court (Li Baitai, the governor of the Supervision Mansion, participated, and Xu Sheng, the general staff officer of the Military Aircraft Department, was not invited. ）

During the banquet, Tang Yuanming's position on the succession to the throne seemed to waver, on the one hand, he let the crown prince Tang Yuanjie sit in the deputy seat, on the other hand, let the second prince Tang Yuansheng toast and praise, and even announced the marriage of Tang Yuansheng and Li Xiangning (Li Xiangning is Li Baitai's daughter. ）

Yanguo Handan Tiandao Imperial Palace Yuanming Courtyard.

There is a fairy palace on the top, there is a Ming courtyard below, the Yuanming Courtyard is also a royal courtyard, there is no blue brick pavement and red oil brick wall here, there are high mountains and flowing water and lush shrub forests, there are no round arches and square pavilions here, there are rock wonders and exquisite sculptures, the royal palace is a masterpiece of top craftsmen imitating nature.

The thousand-year-old banyan tree shaded the sky and the sun, Tang Yuansheng looked up at the wings of the cicada swaying, felt the slight heat and wind, and said softly: "Summer is coming quietly, when will Emperor Yan go to escape the heat?"

"If Emperor Yan goes to Langfeng Mountain Villa for summer vacation, will he still order the crown prince to temporarily act as the throne?"

"The six departments of the Criminal Department and the Ministry of Rites, the Duke of Haoshan of the Five Shang Kilometers, the Dao Immortal Master of the Fourth Taishi, the White Tiger Staff Officer (Xu Sheng) in the Three Institutions, the Silver Armor Commander (Peng De) in the Second Forbidden Army, and the Empress Dowager of the Imperial Family in the First East Palace, they all belong to the prince's power. Menke also listed other court officials, and said that Tang Yuanjie's power could not be ignored.

Tang Yuansheng has the blood of the Qingguo royal family, is tall and polite, and his blue pupils are quite charming, he said disdainfully: "But Tang Yuanjie has a stubborn personality, does not please Emperor Yan, and always (the prince) interferes in court politics, violates the majesty of Emperor Yan, and then has a tough background, which seriously threatens Emperor Yan's status." ”

"Emperor Yan intends to marry Admiral Li of the Supervision Mansion, so he intends to support me to compete with Tang Yuanjie, if Li Xiangning has three longs and two shorts, then I will definitely be able to take advantage of the topic to play, pretend to be innocent, and make Emperor Yan abolish Tang Yuanjie's position as the crown prince and prince, and let Admiral Li of the Supervision Mansion completely trust me, so what do I let you do?" Tang Yuansheng squinted his eyes and signaled to the doorman, who was a little panicked.

"This poison is colorless and odorless and difficult to detect, and after half an hour, it will definitely be poisoned, and if you take it lightly, you will fall into a coma, and if you take it badly, you will die. The doorman sneakily handed out the medicine bottle, Tang Yuansheng took it and whispered: "Get out of the palace immediately and abscond overnight." ”

The doorman left in a hurry, Tang Yuansheng held the medicine bottle and snickered, he had secretly sent the assassin, if the doorman escaped from Handan City, it would definitely destroy the corpse and destroy the traces, in addition, Li Xiangning arrived on time, she was beautiful and wearing a light yellow dress.

Under the thousand-year-old banyan tree, the two talked very happily, Tang Yuansheng wanted to paint for Li Xiangning, so he sat in front of the wooden frame on white paper, and then used Western paint to paint Li Xiangning vividly.

"The second prince can paint Western oil paintings in detail, which is very admirable, but Western oil paintings are slightly realistic, and different ink paintings are full of poetry. Li Xiangning prepared paper and polished ink, and the long pen waved to paint the beautiful scenery of the banyan tree, and then the poem was even more exquisite, her unique charm attracted Tang Yuansheng, Tang Yuansheng hesitated for a moment and said: "Don't move, your lips are accidentally stained with ink." ”

Li Xiangning closed his eyes shyly, Tang Yuansheng suppressed the rippling spring heart, he secretly smeared the poison in the embroidered scarf, and then pretended to wipe off the ink on his lips for Li Xiangning, and the colorless and tasteless poison quietly infiltrated into Li Xiangning's body, and it would definitely attack in half an hour.

Li Xiangning smiled and thanked him, obviously love gradually sprouted in his heart, Tang Yuansheng was a little ashamed, if the throne is compared with the beauty, then the throne is even more important, so he said: "Ning'er will go to the blue and white pond pavilion to rest first, I will bring the treasured ink paintings over, and we will communicate again." ”

Yanguo Handan Tiandao Imperial Palace Blue and White Pond Pavilion, the turquoise pond is full of lotus flowers is very beautiful, the stone bridge connected vertically and horizontally leads to the wooden pavilion, the square pillar of the wooden pavilion is carved with exquisite patterns, the wooden pavilion round chair sits with the beauty of the national color and heavenly fragrance, her name is Yang Guiyu.

Yang Guiyu loves embroidery, she takes the pond lotus scene as a picture, exquisite craftsmanship embroidered meticulously, next to the palace maid poured hot tea and added pastries and said: "Niangniang, the lotus beauty of the Yuanming Palace is very rare, do you intend to give the splendid treasure to Yang Guogong (Duke of Haoshan)?"

"Since I married into the royal family as the crown princess, I have never left the Heavenly Palace, let alone go home to visit my parents, I am very worried, and my father's birthday is approaching, this lotus beauty of the embroidered brocade is a congratulatory gift. Yang Guiyu chuckled slightly, and the gorgeous lotus flowers bowed their heads in shame. (Yanguo tradition: The crown princess can't see her family for five years after entering the palace.) ）

At this time, Li Xiangning accepted Tang Yuansheng's invitation and came to the blue and white pond pavilion alone, when she saw the beautiful scenery of the lotus, she was obviously infatuated, and at the wooden pavilion, the personal palace maid paid attention to it: "Tell the mother, there is a woman by the pond with a strange face, she is wearing clothes that don't look like a person in the court, does the slave need to dismiss her?"

Although Li Xiangning's figure disturbed Yang Guiyu's embroidered brocade, Yang Guiyu had no complaints, and she tactfully ordered: "You invite her to come to the wooden pavilion to get together, the tone is close, don't be embarrassed." ”

The palace maid invited Li Xiangning to the wooden pavilion, Yang Guiyu stopped embroidering and treated each other politely, the two met and talked without mentioning their identities, but with the beautiful scenery of the pond lotus and then to the embroidery process, Li Xiangning admired Yang Guiyu's embroidery and asked her to teach, Yang Guiyu appreciated Li Xiangning's talent and asked her to write an inscription.

Half an hour passed, Li Xiangning felt a little tired, she drank some tea, ate some pastries and felt even more uncomfortable, and said weakly: "If the second prince arrives, please help me tell me - Ning'er has something to do, go home early." ”

When Li Xiangning mentioned her identity, Yang Guiyu noticed something unusual, and she remembered Tang Yuanjie's advice - don't treat the second prince and Admiral Li's daughter Li Xiangning, they may be deliberately framed.

“...... Good. Yang Guiyu's words were hesitant, and sure enough, not long after getting up, Li Xiangning stumbled into a coma and fell into the lotus pond, with the sound of the splashing water, Yang Guiyu was even more panicked, and the palace maid next to her was afraid to ask: "Niangniang, what should I do? Do you need to call the guards for rescue?"

“...... No...... This is Tang Yuansheng's conspiracy (too much of a coincidence). Li Xiangning must have intended to be framed in the pond, she will definitely be fine, if she uses the guards as evidence, and then slanders and accuses me of pushing her into the pond to murder her, then I will definitely implicate the prince...... No, let's leave immediately!" Yang Guiyu knew that Tang Yuansheng was insidious and vicious, and she was even more afraid that her misery and slander would affect Tang Yuanjie, so she and the palace maid immediately packed up their belongings and left the Blue and White Pond Pavilion.

However, Li Xiangning's body slowly sank to the bottom of the pond.
