Chapter 32 (19)
Hearing only the sound of "snap", Xuan Shuang was so angry that he slapped the case again, and shouted: "What is it! You wolf-hearted woman, do you still have a conscience? The emperor Ama refused to make me the crown prince, even if I intended to make trouble, it was understandable. Besides, I also know the fundamental way of loyalty and filial piety for the son of man and the minister, even if he is forced to abdicate in the palace, he will still be supported by fine clothes and food. But you ...... He has never treated you badly, he has always thought about you wholeheartedly, and he does not hesitate to reverse the black and white of axioms for you! You married him all in order to use him to take revenge and eradicate the Shadow Sacrifice Sect, and he didn't mind! You have played all kinds of unsavory tricks behind your back, thinking that you are hiding from the world, but in fact, Huang Ama knows better than anyone else in his heart! But he still tolerates you again and again, and pampers you as always. It's just that you don't know how to be grateful and don't feel ashamed, and now you are still bent on uniting with outsiders to rebel against him? People's hearts are made of flesh, could it be that your heart is made of stone? I tell you, I want to usurp power, and I will do it myself, and I will never be a puppet manipulated by this woman! If anyone has any dissatisfaction with me, they can raise it, and they don't have to pretend to do one thing in front of you or one thing behind your back. But I can't accommodate you! If you don't want to cooperate, then let me fuck off, and I'm not uncommon to form an alliance with you!"
Shangguan Yaohua glanced at Xuan Shuang indifferently, and said slowly: "Sit down." You don't have a deep understanding of the officialdom, and in order to get common interests, even if you don't share the same enemy, you can sometimes cooperate. ”
Xuanshuang was even more angry, glaring at him angrily. At first, he insisted on sitting with him, not only to avoid Shen Shiyun, but also worried that he would not be able to contain it when he saw this enemy who destroyed the Chen family, and committed murder in public. It was with the intention of stopping his impulsiveness nearby, who knew that Shangguan Yaohua could distinguish the two clearly, not only did he worry about it in vain, but it also backfired, and he repeatedly lost his temper, and he finally established an "unfathomable" image in the past, but it suddenly disappeared. After thinking about it, he finally couldn't get angry, poked out his fingers, went straight to Shen Shiyun, and shouted: "Look at your little bit of pitiful use value!"
Prince Fu persuaded: "Ling Beile, it is too much to say this. What misunderstanding is there, can't you make it clear? How can there be an overnight feud between mother and son? You just said that you understand the principles of heaven and filial piety, how can you have the attitude that half of the son of man should have towards the mother who gave birth to him?" Then he smiled at Shen Shiyun and said, "Concubine Yun, this king is here today, you might as well come and be a peacemaker and untie the knot between your mother and son." This time, in the future, we will work together with one heart and one mind. ”
Xuanshuang prides himself on being left and right in his daily life, so he can always turn around freely in everyone. However, this time it touched the taboo in his heart, but he would never give in half a step when he said anything. He said loudly, "I'm not wrong! I don't need you to make amends for me." Why didn't she explain it herself? It was obvious that I had a weak heart because of what I said! Hmph, it is difficult for a Qing official to decide family affairs, and if the prince really has the benevolent heart to count on 'family and everything to prosper,' he will take care of the affairs of your mansion first. You ...... to Cheng Xiao Wang"
Shen Shiyun said coldly: "This palace doesn't explain, it's not that it's admitting that your words are right, it's just disdain to be like a child who has heard about it." Everything that this palace does is justified, and what do you have to be empty-hearted? If you shout and scold in public, just louder than anyone, are you selling in the market? Prince Fu and Cheng Xiaowang watched here, and they didn't call them laugh. ”
Xuan Shuang said angrily: "What are the jokes? I am not educated in the jokes? That is also because you have no way to teach, and the upper beam is not correct and the lower beam is crooked! But you, the well-known Concubine Yun, still care about what the government and the opposition think of you? Destroy the Sacrificial Shadow Sect, you have a clear conscience; then deceiving the feelings of my emperor Ama, destroying the Chen Mansion in a false name, and instructing your subordinates to pick quarrels and provoke troubles in various sects, these are all the layouts you have made to achieve your goals, can you also have a clear conscience?"
He was really angry at this time, and even blurted out a lot of things that he tried to hide. didn't care about Cheng Jiaxuan and Shangguan Yaohua beside him.
Shen Shiyun smiled coldly and said, "The benevolent see the benevolent, the wise see the wise, and the palace doesn't expect you to understand." But if you are born in the world, you do everything you do for flattery, and you only seek fame without substance, even if you can get a moment of praise, this glory will last long. When historians describe the pen and ink, pass it on to future generations, and be praised and criticized by people in every way, there must be a definite conclusion, and there is no need to rush at this moment. However, the current power of this palace has not been lost, and it has not yet fallen to the point of pointing at his son and scolding him!" When he said the last sentence, he was already full of color.
Shangguan Yaohua sneered: "Once you will succeed, in the eyes of the younger generations, you just need to see his infinite achievements in making meritorious contributions and expanding the territory." As for the innocent dead and wounded souls on the battlefield, they can't even spread their names, so who will take a second look at them? Then the people in the Chen Mansion can sacrifice their lives and die for the great cause of their mother, it is their supreme honor, right?" Shen Shiyun smiled lightly: "Lord Cheng is really a bosom friend of the palace, and he said it well. ”
Xuanshuang's body trembled, and before he could scold again, he suddenly saw a black shadow passing by in front of him. Suddenly, the anger of his whole body was vented on the man, and he shouted, "Who is it?" and picked up the teacup from the table and threw it in the general direction.
A "pop" sound fell out of the ground, and a figure jumped off the beam at the same time. The whole body was wrapped in a layer of black clothes, and the face was covered with a black cloth hood, and only a pair of eyes were exposed. As soon as his feet stepped on the ground, the rest of the people saw a flash of white light in the black shadow, and the man had already pulled out a dagger, shouted, and stabbed straight towards Shen Shiyun.
Sudden changes, Xuanshuang has been used to being a killer these days, and suddenly when he encounters an assassin again, he is not panicked at all, but first observes from all over his skills. After just a cursory glance, I had already found seven or eight flaws. sighed in his heart: "I don't know which small device is the owner, who intends to buy murder, and I don't want to find a decent one." Cheng Jiaxuan had never seen such a scene, so she was so frightened that she only knew how to avoid it, shrank into the corner, and almost hid in the room, how could she have the strength to be loyal to the Lord.
In the chaos, no one paid attention to Prince Fu to Shangguan Yaohua, nodded his head slightly, and then overturned the table and gently pushed a palm behind his back. Shangguan Yaohua took advantage of this strength to leap up from behind the table, and jumped out with an arrow step, blocking in front of Shen Shiyun. The assassin's men didn't stop, and the blade stabbed straight into Shangguan Yaohua's chest. When he arrived, his shirt was torn, but no blood oozed out. Covering the wound on his chest with one hand, he turned his head with difficulty and said, "Niangniang, you ...... Back off. ”
Shen Shiyun's expression changed slightly, and he shouted: "Catch the mouth alive!" Shangguan Yaohua responded: "Obey!" With a flip of his wrist, he struck the assassin on the side of the neck, and then swung his fist straight out, hitting him in the face with a "bang". The movement was violent during the pulling, and a tiny thing was thrown out, and it made a crisp sound when it landed, and it looked like half a jade pendant. Cheng Jiaxuan was bold and glanced at it, but he was shocked and couldn't take his eyes off it for a long time. The fingers subconsciously touched the front of the neck, touching something, still warm and smooth.
Shangguan Yaohua restrained the assassin in a few moves, kicked him in the abdomen, quickly turned around, and twisted one of his arms completely, pressing the tip of his elbow against his back. When he reached out to remove the mask, he saw that the man was bleeding from seven holes, shook it, and collapsed limply. I think I have bitten the pill hidden in my mouth and committed suicide by taking poison. A large blood stain on the side of the mouth, mixed with the flow from the nostrils, looks like a bloody tongue has been dragged out, which is particularly terrifying.
Shen Shiyun pinched his clothes tightly, frowned and walked to the dead body, and said disdainfully: "With this kind of skill, it is much worse than the young marshal who died, and he dares to assassinate the palace?" seemed to have completely forgotten who was so frightened that he hid behind Shangguan Yaohua and didn't dare to move. At this time, the crisis is gone, and the wind and cool words are spoken.
Shangguan Yaohua said with concern: "Niangniang, you ...... You don't care, right?" Shen Shiyun said: "It's okay, this kind of chicken and dog's little feet can't hurt this palace." Not...... You have gone out of your way to protect me, and your loyalty is commendable. What reward do you want?"
Shangguan Yaohua replied respectfully: "Since Xiao Wang is a subordinate of Niangniang, it is natural and righteous to protect you, otherwise you should be blamed." Fortunately, the mother is fine, how dare you ask for a reward again?"
Shen Shiyun said with a smile: "This palace is not ruthless and unjust. I will remember how well others treated me. His Royal Highness King Cheng, this palace has received your favor, if he asks for something in the future, even if he speaks, this palace will not refuse. But there is one thing, which is surprising, but don't blame the palace for being abrupt. If you were stabbed by him, how could you be unharmed? Could it be that you have practiced some kind of invulnerable body protection skills?"
Shangguan Yaohua said: "Niangniang made fun of it." He picked up half of the jade pendant from the ground and said, "It was Xiao Wang's luck just now, the assassin's knife just stabbed on the jade pendant and escaped." Otherwise, I wouldn't have such a big life, and I would be able to stand here and talk to you. ”
Shen Shiyun said: "If you don't die in a big disaster, you will have a blessing." There is a good saying and advice in this palace: Heaven is unfair, and it is often not good to be rewarded, and His Royal Highness does not need to restrain himself too much in order to achieve justice. Shangguan Yaohua said: "Inherit the auspicious words of the mother." Xiao Wang kept it in mind. ”
Shen Shiyun glanced at the jade pendant in his hand and couldn't help but look at it twice. Shangguan Yaohua immediately handed it forward, Shen Shiyun smiled approvingly, played with it repeatedly in his hand, raised his eyelids, and said: "Judging from the luster, it is very crystal clear and jade, and it should be of the highest grade." The children of ordinary families are not qualified to wear them. Why, it's a family heirloom?"
Shangguan Yaohua responded: "Yes, my father does some small business on weekdays, and he has occasional spare time, and he also has a unique preference for antiques from the previous dynasty. For example, Xiao Wang's jade pendant is said to be an ancient jade inherited during the Yin Shang period, which is worth a fortune. If you can keep it properly, you can be rich and blessed. If the mother likes ......"
Shen Shiyun said with a smile: "A gentleman doesn't take the favor of others, and the same is true of this palace." Just look at your attitude towards it, and know that it is your treasure. But...... How can it be only half a piece?" Cheng Jiaxuan had already quietly walked over and listened worriedly.
Shangguan Yaohua calmly responded: "Listening to what the warlocks of the rivers and lakes said, the complete jade is divided into two, which has been passed down for thousands of years, and people who are destined to hold half of it. When you see each other, you know that the other party is the person you are destined to be. Xiao Wang has been wandering all these years, and he has some hope in his heart, and he is waiting...... Just look for it. ”
Cheng Jiaxuan moved her lips and stopped talking. I was more and more sure of a conjecture in my heart, and I became more panicked.
Shen Shiyun smiled lightly: "These are all stories made up by those businessmen in order to cheat money. How can Cheng Xiaowang also believe it?" Shangguan Yaohua said: "If you believe it, you will have it, and if you don't believe it, you will not have it." Isn't it true that legends have always been passed down because they can live in everyone's hearts?"
Prince Fu listened to it for a long time, and the two of them were talking about it, impatiently waiting for more. Slowly stepped forward and said, "This assassination is clearly premeditated. If you dare to break ground on Tai Sui's head, you really have eaten the heart of a bear and a leopard! This matter should really be reported to the emperor immediately and asked him to uphold justice. Niangniang can think about it carefully, who have you offended recently?"
