The rebirth of the son-in-law

"I'm not a fool. What kind of general wants to chase you down, what kind of cavalry camp forces you into a mess, she is a princess, don't I know her tricks? The pursuit of the captain of the cavalry school was directed and acted by you, right? Arranged for me to escape from Luoyang and arrive in Jiangling, but she still wanted to use me, I was just lucky to be her pawn." Song Zhi refused to admit that she was being stubborn and angry, but she really wanted to understand When she found out that everything she knew was far from the reality, Princess Xianning concealed from her and deceived her again and again. She was unwilling to think about it before, but when she figured it out, she knew that Princess Xianning's goal from the beginning was Changsha. country.

"You have already calculated, I can only go according to your arrangement. You know the identity of Xi Ji, right? That's why she can use Xi Ji so confidently."

Dou Tu looked at her and suddenly sneered and said, "Honestly speaking, your guess is correct. But if you are not worth being used, do you think you can live till now?"

"I'd rather be a commoner than be under power and be manipulated by you."

Dou Tu nodded and said: "Why do you think you were taken good care of in Jiangling? Because the princess told you not to let you suffer. Do you think that the so-called old officials of the Song family can really help you eliminate those traces? That's because Those people are princesses! Do you want to be a commoner? Do you know what a commoner is? When you are at the gate of Misher, you have to worry about your money. Sitting at home, you may encounter those murderous and risky people at any time. Gong thief general! I thought you were sober, but I didn't expect you to be so obsessed."

He got up, looked down at Song Zhi and said word by word: "You kept saying that she used you, but you didn't say how much compensation she gave you, how many times she saved you."

"I know." Song Zhi calmed down, and his emotions sank, "The better she treats me, the more afraid I am that one day, when I am of no use to her, she will abandon me without hesitation. I would rather her Use it from start to finish."

"I don't know if you can win in the end." Dou Tu said after a moment of silence, "But I know, you won't lose now. That's all I've said. If you still want to go your own way, then do it yourself." He turned around coldly and left without giving Song Zhi a chance to speak again.

Song Zhi was leaning against the bed alone, feeling a dull pain in his heart.From the moment she woke up in Baqiu, some things in her body about Song Zhi of this era seemed to have completely dissipated, but this made her feel the pain more clearly.

In fact, she just didn't know how to face Princess Xianning.It is difficult and painful to change a person's deep-rooted ideas. She knows that this is ancient times, not the 21st century where everyone is equal, but she can accept and even take it for granted. How easy is it?Princess Xianning is not wrong, because she is from this era, and Song Zhi is not wrong, because she lives in a peaceful era.

She just doesn't want to be completely into this era - she still wants to go home.She always wanted to go home, from the day she left Luoyang, she wanted to go back more than ever.

Song Zhi curled up on the bed, buried his head and silently chanted "go home", over and over again, as if venting his emotions.

In Tingwei's mansion, Princess Xianning is listening to the officials report on today's investigation all day long.

"The person in this palace is called Cui Niang, who is in the palace of the former king. She is usually responsible for cleaning the palace of the former king, and she entered the palace when Xianwang was still the son. She has been in the palace for more than ten years, but the strange thing is that she rarely When interacting with the palace people, they often leave the palace on the first day of the lunar new year, saying that they are going to meet their family members."

Princess Xianning pondered for a while, then asked another person: "What about you? Have you heard of anyone who has seen her outside the palace?"

"Returning to Zuo Jian, after leaving the palace, Cui Niang would often go to a wine shop. The servants in that wine house said that she knew the shopkeeper. The servants found out that the shopkeeper of the wine house was named Song Jian. Song Jian was from a clean family background. My father was a guest at Shen Zhonglang's house. He unfortunately fell to his death after drinking a few days ago, and he has already been buried. These days, the wine shop is closed, and the servants all said that they will be dismissed. The officials asked them to stay in Linxiang City temporarily to wait for orders. "

"Shen Zhonglang?" Princess Xianning frowned slightly, and asked in doubt, "You mean the general of Zhonglang, Shen Yan?"

"Exactly."

Is it Shen Yan again?Princess Xianning faintly felt that something was wrong, but she didn't have enough information to perfect her guess.

"Can Shen Zhonglang's official record Ting Wei be called?" She turned to look at the old Ting Wei who was dozing on it and asked.

When the old Ting Wei heard someone calling him, he raised his head in a daze: "Oh, well—uh, what did Supervisor Qu Zuo say?"

Princess Xianning was not angry, and repeated it patiently: "I would like to borrow Shen Zhonglang's official records to have a look."

"Official record? This..." The old Ting Wei rubbed his face, cheered up, "I want to check the official records of the officers and generals in the army. This one needs to be handed down by the king."

In fact, this is just a word of evasion. The King of Changsha has given the Tingwei Mansion the power to act cheaply. He wants to call Guang Luxun's officials to go to the Taiwei Mansion, because Shen Yan, the Zhonglang, will be Guang Luxun's subordinate. It belongs to Taiwei Mansion.But to go to Taiwei's mansion to transfer official records, the old Tingwei had to come forward. The old man felt very good and refused to show up.

Princess Xianning had no choice but to cup her hands and said: "The minister will enter the palace now, and go to ask the king to write it down."

"Eh, okay, okay."

Princess Xianning hurriedly turned her head and entered the palace, because she hadn't got the seal and ribbon, so she could only enter the palace, but was stopped outside the Changyang Gate.

"Tingwei Zuojian Chenhe, please see the king." Princess Xianning cupped her hands to the Huangmen Ling who stopped her.

Chu Yan was wandering around the palace alone, and as she was walking, she met Qu He who had entered the palace at Changyang Gate.When she saw Qu He and Huang Menling greeted each other and asked to see the King of Changsha, Huang Menling politely refused his request, feeling furious, walked up to the two of them, and said to Huang Menling, "Blind your dog's eyes! This is Ting Wei Zuo Jian Qu and Qu Zuo Jian! Your Majesty ordered him to investigate the affairs of the palace, can you afford to delay the business?"

Huang Menling was so frightened that he knelt down and kowtowed for mercy.Princess Xianning had no intention of embarrassing him, so she said to Chu Yan: "He is also doing his duty for the palace, the Princess please forgive him."

"Did you hear that? Get out soon?" Chu Yan raised her chin arrogantly.

After Huang Menling left, Princess Xianning didn't want to delay, since she saw Chu Yan, it was easy to handle: "Princess, I want to go to the Tingwei Mansion to transfer official records, so I came to ask to see the king."

"Hey, don't be in a hurry." Chu Yan gritted her teeth lightly, her face flushed slightly, "Hey, the king is talking with the queen mother, or... I will take you to wait in the pavilion?"

"This..." Princess Xianning frowned, but the King of Changsha did have something to do, and there was no other way but to wait, "That's fine."

The two walked side by side to the stone pavilion in the palace. Along the way, Chu Yan had been introducing her to the surrounding scenery and talking about interesting things in the palace. Song Zhi was mentioned.

"Mingzhi is now an official in Changsha, so he won't return to Luoyang in the future, right? What about Azhi?"

Princess Xianning scanned the surrounding environment, thinking in her heart that Shen Yan was not on the watch list at the bell tower that day.Then why did Shen Yan appear in the bell tower that day, and I have never heard that Shen Yan was on duty in the palace that day.While thinking about it, she heard Chu Yan talking about Song Zhi. She turned her head to look at Chu Yan, and muttered, "Ah Zhi? Of course she is going back to Luoyang." Song Zhi will go back to Luoyang with her sooner or later, it is impossible to stay In Changsha country.

Chu Yan thought that what Qu He said was that Song Zhi wanted to go back, but he stayed, and suddenly he was secretly happy, and couldn't hide the smile on his face: "So Mingzhi wants to break off the engagement with her?"

Princess Xianning came back to her senses and realized that something was wrong, she said in shock: "Princess, the marriage contract between me and Ah Zhi cannot be dissolved."

"Why?" Chu Yan felt a chill in his heart, and sat angrily on the seat in the stone pavilion.

"I have long regarded Azhi as the wife of the minister in my heart. Although there is no reality of husband and wife, Azhi is the wife I swore to be my wife. She has no faults and no grievances. Why should I divorce her?" Xian Ning The princess said helplessly.

Chu Yan suddenly changed color, stood up, and said slightly angrily: "You have no love for her, why do you want her to marry someone who doesn't love her?"

"The princess thinks so? But Azhi may not think so." Princess Xianning smiled lightly, not paying attention to the angry Chu Yan at all, "If I don't want to marry Azhi, who should I marry?"

Chu Yan almost blurted out "Marry me", but she still held back, her sense of shame made her shut up.She thought about it again, Qu He probably thought that Song Zhi was alone and helpless, so she was determined to marry Song Zhi. If she could find a home for Song Zhi, then Qu He would not have to marry Song Zhi.

So her face turned pale, she eased her anger, changed the subject and said, "Who are you going to investigate at the Taiwei's Mansion?"

Princess Xianning thought about it for a while, but she didn't hide anything, and said sternly: "I want to investigate Shen Yan and Shen Zhonglang. There is a guest in Shen Zhonglang's house. His son Song Jian opened a wine shop in the south of the city, and he had contact with the palace man who died in the palace last night. Shen Zhonglang was on duty in the palace last night, so I wanted to see his official record."

"Shen Yan...he didn't seem to be on duty last night, right?" Suddenly, Chu Yan seemed to remember something, "Shen Yan was found by Feng Ma. After I heard the screams, Shen Yan led troops to surround the bell tower , less than a quarter of an hour has passed. So, he must have been in the palace last night?"

"Didn't Shen Zhonglang be on duty last night?" Princess Xianning was startled, "Princess, do you know the background of Shen Zhonglang?"

Chu Yan nodded and said: "I know this." She said, "Speaking of which, Shen Yan is a relative of the Queen Mother, and the Shen family is what I told you, the leader in the management of jade and antiques. The Shen family is deeply rooted in Changsha. , has been used by the Changsha kings of all dynasties, and is loyal. It's just that the king doesn't want the Shen family to continue to grow, so in Shen Yan's generation, only Shen Yan has become an official. Shen Yan is a branch of the Shen family, a 16-year-old man, At the age of 20, he was the general of Habayashi Zhonglang, a well-known young talent in Changsha. As a man, he looks pretty good. There is a concubine in his family. I heard that he is quite liked by Shen Yan. But because of this concubine, Shen Yan The relationship between Yan and the Shen family is not very good, and after his father passed away, he has less contact with the Shen family." She omitted the fact that the Queen Mother had intended to marry Shen Yan to her, anyway, this is not important matter.
