I came from heaven [traveling]

Proctor Nangong walked into the study and interrupted my conversation with Tantai Yang. She clasped her hands and walked gracefully, with a gentle smile on her face: "See Fourth Princess, Tenth Prince, Lord Ji."

"Professor Nangong, get rid of the ceremony. It's so lively today!"

Tantaiyang is the typical little princess who gets more and more happy when there are more people. Although she likes to put on airs, she won't worry too much about her status as a princess when she sees the person she likes.No, seeing Governor Nangong, he took the initiative to pour hot tea to entertain him.Xiao'er put down the brush, jumped off the chair, and then joined the group of us: "Sister Jiaodu!"

Small, I can't tell, he is not tall and his hair is not full, so he is also a little bastard who likes women. When he saw Miss Nangong, his eyes lit up!I held Xiao'er on my lap, and patiently told me:

"Xiao'er is not as good as the other princes who received the orthodox education in the palace since he was a child. This child is a bit lazy and playful. But his mind is very flexible and he is a malleable material. I also ask Nangong to do his best to educate him. "

"Your Majesty, don't worry, I will definitely guide the prince's studies carefully."

"Then I will bother Nangong Teacher."

After I finished speaking, I pampered Sixiao's head: "Brother and princess sister will leave first, you must obediently listen to the words of the elder sister, the governor, so that you can study well, and don't mess around."

"As ordered!"

Si Xiao imitated the salute posture I taught him before, and cried out excitedly.Seeing him so obedient, I took Tantai Yang and left the study with confidence.

The matter of river governance is getting better and better, and the time when it needs to come forward can be counted with thumbs. Except for river governance, Chuanggong Pavilion has no major repairs to deal with recently. I am not much different from a shopkeeper who throws his hands away.

Suddenly, I had a flash of inspiration, and I felt that it was necessary to go to the prison and I would be sent by God.Because, somehow, I want to get to know this wild and unruly guy in depth.In the face of Zunhuang's anger and questioning, he did not make a big excuse for his crime of rebellion. Relying on the current power of the Ying family in the army, he concluded that Zunhuang would not dare to sentence him to death easily, so he made such a brazen disturbance to the court. Church.

Does no one think this is very strange?Throughout history, the fate of rebels has never been good. At worst, they will implicate the whole family, and at worst they will either die or be disabled. Even if the Ying family is powerful and holds military power, it is not possible for Ying Tiansong to be so arrogant , but the result of the punishment ended without a problem, but he was put in a prison and there was nothing left.

Looking back and thinking carefully, only Tantai Qin's speech in the conference hall was based on justice, while Zhong Bogong's power was almost one-sided to plead for Ying Tiansong. buckle.

How deep the water is, and how many unknown secrets, with my current ability, I can only think about it, and I can't solve it for a long time.In addition, Tantai Qin, who is standing in the hall today and dressed in the official uniform of the crane, her indifference and ruthlessness make me feel a little cold. She can do nothing but focus on state affairs without showing mercy, and her image of being selfless looks very cool , but it also greatly reduced my trust in her.

This is an indescribable feeling, because at some point in the future, all of our chess pieces will use their respective advantages to really push Tantai Qin to a high point, and she will inherit a great cause for thousands of years. The so-called hero is nothing more than a poor person whose life is hanging.The king is ruthless and dare not take his life, which is probably the reason why accompanying the king is like accompanying a tiger.

So I can't tell Tantai Qin all my suspicions at the moment, so as not to cause unnecessary differences. This is a secret investigation, and I want to find out the evil forces in the group. The hall is a miasma.Nowadays, there are not many people who can be trusted. Perhaps, there is another person who can help me——Xu Yangyan.

"Fourth princess, Esprit has something to ask."

Standing in the courtyard, I stopped and looked at Tantaiyang respectfully. Seeing me hide my smile and look serious, she was a little frightened: "You... just say what you have to do, don't be so serious Is it? I... I am not used to it..."

"I scared you?"

"Ok!"

Tantaiyang snorted coquettishly, and I had no choice but to spread a smile and bowed my body: "Okay, okay, I didn't mean to be serious suddenly on purpose. It's just that I want to go to the prison and have a look."

"Go to the prison? Do you want to see the sky and send your brother?"

"Yes. My status is not enough to directly meet the guilty minister, but if His Highness is with you, the reason is naturally different."

I thought Tantaiyang would reject my request, but she agreed to me almost without thinking: "Okay. I promise you, but if I want Bengong's help, there must be a conditional exchange."

I knew there was nothing good to do, and when I asked for something, this little girl would definitely want to torture me with a big mouth, so I had some hesitation, and asked weakly: "Uh... what does Your Highness want Esprit to do? As long as it doesn't kill people Set fire, I agree."

Tantai Yang raised his eyebrows lightly, with a sly look on his face, and even his tone of voice was not as cheerful as before, but much more gloomy: "Ji Sijie, I want you, do you dare to answer?"

"Uh...Your Highness, this joke is not very funny."

My heart was shocked instantly, Tantaiyang's performance was really good, all the innocence and joy could be faked, but at this moment, her eyes are not as pure as that of a seventeen or eighteen year old girl.My smile fades away...

Tantaiyang approached me step by step, and stared at me for a long time after the four eyes met, until she burst out laughing; "Puff...hahahaha...I can't pretend anymore...Look, you are so scared, your face has changed."

Seeing her laugh out loud, I raised my hand to touch the bridge of my nose in a daze, was it true or false, the Tantai Yang at that moment just now, was it really just a fake?

"Okay, I won't embarrass you, you stupid head. Let's go and see Brother Tiansong now."

After finishing speaking, she happily walked towards the main entrance with big strides. I stared at her back and was suddenly very scared. I always felt that everyone was wearing a mask, but I was the only one who was exposed to everyone naked. In sight, there is nothing to hide.

.........

The prison of the Chief Minister's Pavilion is located at the westernmost part of the palace. The scenery here is desolate, and the popularity is very low. The luxury and prosperity are in stark contrast.

That's right, the bleakness and filth here are the dark sides that the whole country is unwilling to reveal. If the imperial palace reflects the brilliance of the sun and the moon, the shadow behind it hides all the unbearable, and the prison is a true portrayal of this shadow.

"In a big prison, there is no official letter signed by the Secretary of State, anyone who has nothing to do with it, please leave quickly!"

There were four guards guarding the door, the leader saw us approaching and hurriedly scolded, Tantaiyang and I did not bring Su Qing with us, so the matter of reporting our name fell on me.Just as I was about to say something, the carriage on the side caught my attention. The carriage was so familiar that I could recognize it even with my eyes closed. Tantai Qin had been here before, and the carriage was parked here, meaning... ...she's in jail?

I ignored the guards' scolding, and took out my waist badge as I walked: "I am the work supervisor of Chuanggong Pavilion... come to visit..."

Before I could finish speaking, something flew past my ear and hit the guard in front of me directly on the forehead, and Tantaiyang's voice came from behind: "You little soldier is so courageous!"

The guard bent down and picked up the waist card on the ground, his face turned pale in an instant, and he hurriedly knelt down: "The little one has eyes but no eyes! See Your Highness the Fourth Princess!"

"Bengong and Marquis Jinnan want to go in and visit General Ying, so do they need to go to Zhengshi Pavilion to ask for a piece of paper?"

"No, no, this is a misunderstanding. If Your Highness wants to go in, you only need to show your waist card. I'm too young to see Mount Tai, so please forgive me!"

How can a princess smash people around with a waist card!I am convinced of Tantaiyang's style!However, it is right to bring her here, it can be convenient no matter what.

I put my hands behind my back as a gesture, and lowered my tone: "Get up, everyone. Lead us in quickly."

The guards hurriedly took us to the depths of the prison. I looked around at the layout of the prison, tsk tsk tsk... The ancients were really big-hearted. These independent prisons separated by rusty iron bars can't trap people. In modern times, the people locked inside would probably have escaped long ago.However, there are many guards guarding it, and there is a guard standing every five meters.

The environment in the prison is dark, dark and humid, so that the rancid smell comes in waves. Tantaiyang walks on tiptoe with a disgusted expression on his face, covering his nose with his hands from time to time, while the other hand Then I held my sleeve tightly, fearing that she would not be able to adapt to me, I had to slow down and hold her sideways.

At that moment, she stopped, her eyes fell on me holding her hand, a blush appeared on her face, I realized that my behavior was a bit abrupt and hurriedly let go, but Xiao Nizi held me tightly, Instead, he looked sideways at the guard leading the way: "Where is General Ying's cell?"

"All the way to the end is the cell where he was held."

"Back off, we'll just go there by ourselves."

Obviously, Tantaiyang's request made the guard a little embarrassed, but she stared: "What? Are you afraid that we will let him go?"

"Small doesn't mean that!"

I took Tantai Yang's words and yelled: "The guards here are strictly on guard, since the princess told you to retreat, then you should leave quickly."

"Yes, yes, what Lord Hou said is true!"

Watching the guards leave, I took Tantaiyang's hand and continued to walk in until Tantaiqin's figure fell into our field of vision. She knelt on the ground and held on to the iron railing tightly with both hands, as if because she was chatting with Ying Tiansong. Something happened, so that her shoulders shrugged and trembled, and she was crying, and this crying was hoarse after exhaustion.

And Tantai Yang and I didn't make much noise, so she didn't notice us for a while.Before Tantaiyang could speak, I took her hand and hurriedly leaned against the corner of the partition.

"So... you didn't rebel... Can I really believe such a statement?"

Tantaiqin sniffed and calmed down for a while until his mood stabilized, then asked this sentence, but did not hear Ying Tiansong's answer, only the sound of Tantaiqin's footsteps slowly approaching us.
