Chapter 38 (13)

One of the guards whispered, "Your Majesty!" and his mouth came to his ear to say something. Xuan Shuang snorted and said, "What, you want to warn the emperor not to be careless." I'm not only Ling Beile, but also the Blood Demon Young Master Ling Shuang Ash, the deputy sect leader of the Demon Sect, coming back today, not only as the son of my Emperor Amma, but also as an assassin, ready to disadvantage him at any time, do you want to say this?"

The guard glared at Xuan Shuang angrily and said, "The emperor treats you well, if you have any sinister intentions, even the heavens will not spare you!"

Xuan Shuang's gaze turned more stern, and said, "Your eyes are not what a slave should have when looking at his master." Pay attention to your eyes, this time it's just that, next time you violate it, even if you don't die, I will definitely abolish your pair of tricks. You are so nervous, you must know my style, and you should understand that I can say it and do it. ”

He sneered twice, and then said, "Ha, Blood Demon Young Master Ling Shuang Ember...... My identity as the deputy sect leader has been strangled by my own hands as early as when I left the sun and moon wheels and came back with you, do you think I can still go back? But I don't know what I threatened you, are you a little guard, and you want to be the prince? It's really not good, do you want to find a rope and tie me up?"

Shunzhi sighed: "That's it, you all go down, I just want to say a few words to my son, there is no need to make such a fuss." A group of guards hesitated, and finally retreated tremblingly, led by one person first. Closing the palace door, you can still see a dark shadow on the door, obviously everyone has not gone far, just waiting outside the door.

Xuan Shuang walked to the side and sat down on the dragon chair, clasped his hands on his shoulders, Erlang's legs were raised high, and sneered: "Oh, it seems that they are very loyal to you? Why, if you don't feel at ease, you can call them in again, and I never intend to say anything personal to you anyway, so I don't mind anyone listening to them. ”

He sat on the dragon chair privately, which should have been a crime of disrespect, but Shunzhi did not pursue it, as if talking to himself, and said softly: "Everyone else said that I was partial to you, but now I feel that it is true." If he were to be another elder brother, how could he easily escape from the great crime of leaving the palace without permission and colluding with the party? let alone being away for a year and a half?"

Xuan Shuang snorted and said, "What's more, now I am not only colluding with the chaotic party, but also being the leader of the chaotic party." However, it is also to blame Huang Ama for not knowing the definition of 'chaotic party', as the so-called ignorant is not guilty. Shunzhi was stunned, he didn't expect him to be able to throw out this sentence, and asked, "How can you not define it clearly?"

Xuan Shuang said: "It's just because the sons don't know what a chaotic party is? Is it a person who is an enemy of the Qing Dynasty and forms a party to cause chaos? Then let me ask, seven years ago, conquered the border pass and exterminated the old department of the king of Chuang, whose credit is it here? If it is said that indiscriminate killing of innocents is a chaotic party, then when our army first entered the customs, I heard that there were no fewer 'southern barbarian pariahs'? Why is it that if we kill people, it is not considered indiscriminate killing? Is it because it is the person in power who speaks? Even so, knowing that the Demon Sect is like a broken bamboo, who knows that one day it will not become the person in power who has surpassed the Qing Dynasty? When the time comes, we will learn that you turned your hands into clouds and covered your hands for rain, and we will be allowed to slaughter, and then people will say proudly, "This is a good example made by the first emperor, and we are just painting gourds in the same way." ”

Shunzhi was silent for a long time, and said: "What happened back then, I listened to Concubine Xinyun and decided, it is true. But over the years, the Demon Sect has been worthy of the name of the 'chaotic party' in every word and deed, and I will not avenge my concubine's personal revenge, so I will disregard people's lives to please her, which you can rest assured. ”

Xuan Shuang smiled coldly and said, "I seem to remember that you once said that after I returned to the palace, I would not be guilty of the past, and you would never deal with me for the crime of leaving the palace without permission, so I agreed to come back." Let's make it clear in advance, this sentence shouldn't be someone falsely preaching the holy decree, right?"

Shunzhi said helplessly: "It is indeed what I said, you should know that in order to make your rebel change his mind, in the end, I will compromise first." In fact, you have gone astray a year ago, I first saw your bloody clothes, and I wanted to cover it for you, you should know that my heart is still towards you. However, if you had known what would happen in the future, all your thoughts would have been in vain. ”

Xuan Shuang ignored it and said, "Yes, compared to the deputy sect leader of the Demon Sect, if I had chosen to become a monk at the beginning, even if it was just a little novice who served tea and swept the floor in the Shaolin Temple, maybe you would have more face." This sentence is ambiguous, and it is difficult to distinguish between the right and the negative.

Shunzhi didn't want to put more effort into this matter, and said: "No matter what, if you are willing to return to the palace according to your words, you will finally give me a face, and I have to thank you." ”

Xuan Shuang smiled faintly and said, "I heard me right, right? It's clear that I was wrong first, but you came to thank me? As for when, maybe I'll come back again on a whim. How about it, nothing major has happened in the palace for more than a year, right?"

Shunzhi smiled bitterly: "You are not in the palace, it is a lot quieter everywhere, which is boring." In good conscience, I'm worried. Xuan Shuang's fingertips tapped lightly on the arm of the dragon chair, and said, "Yes, don't look at me outside, the name of 'Young Master Blood Demon' is prestigious, but no matter where you go, you can't match the comfort of your own home." ”

Shunzhi said: "Different environments should have different inspiration for people. If you are away for a year, you will never see you in the palace for the rest of your life, plus your prominent status as the deputy leader of the Demon Sect...... I hope that after a year, you will be able to see the sinister situation of the world more thoroughly, and you will be reborn from now on. In this way, it is not in vain that I have allowed you to go through the original intention. ”

Xuan Shuang sneered slightly, and muttered in his mouth: "Experience...... Hum...... "Experienced ......" suddenly thought that he was tired of the underworld identity in the dark night, and he had the heart to abandon the dark and turn to the light, but no one gave him a chance. Everyone talks about "taking a step back and opening the sky", but who knows that behind him is an abyss.

If there is no safe and warm place behind him, willing to tolerate him and let him stay, then what is the difference between retreating and not retreating? I couldn't help but sneer again, and said: "It's a pity that the world makes people, and some people sincerely quit, but instead force people to be guillotined, and finally end up with no bones left." Some people are full of magic from head to toe, and some people pretend to come and pull him, and then they can't wait to declare to the whole world that they are giving him another chance. Isn't this world funny?"

Shunzhi was extremely embarrassed on the side, Xuanshuang suddenly leaned forward slightly, his voice was low, but with a bit of playfulness, and said: "Okay, I talk so much nonsense, you must be tired of waiting in the morning." You won't do anything that is not beneficial, and what kind of 'experience' do you say...... This time, I took great pains to lay out such a huge amount of money...... Say, what do you want to hear from my mouth?"

Shunzhi was stunned for a moment, and a little sadness suddenly flashed in his eyes, and said: "Whether you believe it or not, if you want to talk about being an undercover agent in the Demon Sect, it will take your life at any time." Even if I really had this kind of thought, I would definitely be looking for a general who has followed me for many years, and who is both wise and brave, and will never let you take this risk. ”

Xuan Shuang raised his eyebrows and said, "It's a pity that 'unintentionally inserting willows and willows'? You don't go to create opportunities, and now the opportunity is sent to the door, all you have to do is accept it, what are the difficulties?"

Shunzhi sighed secretly, paced to a corner of the hall, looked up at the real pen and ink hanging on the wall, and secretly copied it in his heart. This time, this method also failed, and he was never able to calm down his chaotic thoughts.

Xuan Shuang's tone suddenly improved slightly, and said, "Huang Ama, in fact, the sons are not determined to target you. It's just that I've been away from the palace for a long time...... It's about the current hairstyle and clothes are different from others, and in this palace, I have a feeling of being out of place, as if I never deserved to belong here......" is to take the extreme frivolity in his mouth, and it is just to vent the strange feeling that is indescribable and inexplicable.

Shunzhi said: "You are wrong, nothing in the outside world can change your feelings." Unless it's a difference in your own state of mind, or your own rejection of the entire palace. Xuan Shuang said: "Perhaps, since everyone does not have to be the same, why should the 'head shaving order' be issued after entering the customs, forcing the Han people to shave their heads?

This set of laws and regulations can be explained in detail. And no matter what she says right now, Xuan Shuang can always find some messy, plausible, but somewhat reasonable rhetoric to refute a lot. What's more, it was originally formulated by Dolgon, and it is difficult for Shunzhi to explain it in detail.

Xuan Shuang didn't seem to have any intention of thinking more about this matter, so she suddenly changed the topic and said, "With the current situation of your son, you can't make me the crown prince anymore, right? But my previous performance has always been in accordance with the rules, and there is nothing out of the ordinary, why did you delay and finally change your mind? But don't tell me it's because of that bloody coat?"

Shunzhi thought of the old things, and felt a lot of emotion in his heart for a while, and even thought that the reason why Xuan Shuang was willing to join the Demon Sect was because he was afraid that it was because of the failure of the prince's position and the secret resentment. Said: "I know about speculation about this matter, and many people have mentioned it to you. But halfway through the story, it will be out of shape, and if I knew so, I should have told you myself. At first, I did intend to make you the crown prince, not only because you were smart and clever, but also because of the agreement I made with the concubine before you were born. Generally speaking, I don't make it easy to establish a deposit, and I don't easily dethrone it later. Unless the child is really too bad in character, or unmotivated, and commits an unforgivable sin...... If that were the case, the promise would have to be nullified. I made this premise clear to Concubine Yun, and she agreed at that time......"

Xuan Shuang interjected, "Understood. So, I'm that bad boy with extremely bad character, and I forced you to be deposed?"
