Bastards

Of course the prince did not come back.

As the highly trusted eunuch in charge, Shi Fu may not be fully aware of Yang Xuan's activities outside, but if Yang Xuan returns to the palace, he must be the first to get the news. It is impossible for a court lady to see it. But don't know.

The maid of honor is lying.

However, without knowing the ins and outs of the matter, he was clever and bold, but also steady enough to deceive the fiery-eyed Nanny Gui, and Shi Fu accepted her love.

The maid's name was Qingrui, and he observed it coldly for a long time, investigating the background and assessing her abilities, before she felt that she could be well cultivated, and recommended it to the prince.Before Concubine Tian Gui invited the prince to a small banquet, Cui Yu guessed that Concubine Tian Gui would use the word "cool thin" to make a game, and provided the direction of thinking, and the person he chose was this Qingrui.

Now it seems that he has a good vision, Qingrui is smart and quick-witted, and has good decisiveness. This performance is to show his ability and to stand in line to submit a certificate.

It's just that she still lost a little caution in doing things, and this time she deceived Nanny Gui. In case Nanny Gui was too thoughtful and came to her senses to inquire about what happened today, Qingrui couldn't find a witness to say that she had seen it. For the prince, as for the sisters who said that the prince is busy and are afraid that they will have to fight hard again, where can they find them?

Qingrui may think of a way to make a lie, but it is not so easy to make a lie...

For the sake of her helping the prince, Shi Fu flicked his sleeves, so let's help this girl.

As for the funeral... If the crown prince is willing to use it, he can help with training.

Anyway, it was dark and night, and it was hard to find Cui Yu. Yang Xuan refused to leave for a moment, and stayed there until dawn. Cui Yu woke up, ate porridge, drank medicine, and fell asleep again. Back to the palace.

As soon as Shi Fu told the story of the evening, he became very angry.

Originally, there was a lot of anger because of Cui Yu's matter, and I couldn't find a place to vent it. It happened that Concubine Tian came to the door... Yang Xuan's long and narrow eyes flickered. Not daring to say anything, she smiled slyly, straightened her clothes and went out.

Instead of looking for the imperial concubine, he went to look for Emperor Taikang.

This time when he returned to the palace, he happened to be still young. According to the plan discussed with Cui Yu, he showed a certain ability and style, and also showed one or two shortcomings, such as stunned youth, such as Xiong.He can't understand Concubine Tian Gui, for the sake of her image, Concubine Tian has to cover him in public, but he has no such worries, if he doesn't like it, he doesn't like it, if he hates it, he doesn't need to swallow it!

"For the matter of appeasing the people, the emperor should send someone else."

As soon as he came up, he dropped the pick.

Emperor Taikang was taken aback, and immediately angered from his heart: "You are the prince, the prince of a country, is this your attitude in handling affairs!"

Yang Xuan's neck twitched: "Anyway, no one in this palace regards this minister as a prince."

"What did you say!" Emperor Taikang frowned angrily, and almost hit Yang Xuan with a booklet.

The dog eclipsed the sun, and the heavens warned him. What happened once in a century happened to him!This world seems to be stable, but in fact, there are many people who are waiting for the opportunity to make trouble. In order to keep the Yang family, he is worried. These days, he can't eat well and can't sleep. If you lose your identity, you can also give the world an explanation.Inside and outside the palace, there was a commotion everywhere. He was quite happy to see the crown prince volunteering to appease the people, but he finally had a silly son who could use it. However, the crown prince came over and said he quit before the matter was over?

"What does it mean not to treat you as a prince? Who dares to respectfully call you a prince inside and outside the palace!"

Emperor Taikang was very angry.Without it, the prince did help him a lot to appease the people this time. If the people make a fuss and the voices of the people are boiling, someone will be waiting for the opportunity to do evil, and he will have even more headaches. Although he doesn't like this son, at least for now, this son is untouchable. Short.

"Some people can't understand my son's busyness, and blame him for being rude."

This seemed calm, but actually contained resentment, Emperor Taikang understood at a glance that he was here to sue.

Since he came here to file a complaint on purpose, Yang Xuan didn't hold back: "What do you mean you are in charge of the phoenix seal and in charge of everything in the harem, and sent a nanny with a gift to see Erchen, and Erchen is busy letting Shi The father-in-law conveyed his thanks on his behalf, and he was not happy. He felt that it was impolite for the son-in-law not to meet a nanny, and it was just haunted and suffocated... She is in charge of the Phoenix Seal, which does not mean that the Phoenix Seal is hers. , but if you don't have a successor, father, the others are not qualified to control my son, and my son accepted the gift to see your face politely!"

"You don't like my son, I know that coming back this time has hindered your eyes and made the imperial concubine unhappy. Since everyone is unhappy, this prince and son don't want to be a prince anymore. You are just my son. My son, go back to Chang'an Huangci Temple!"

It even involves the waste prince!At such a sensitive time, the crown prince was abolished without reason, because he wanted him to be scolded to death by the whole world!

Emperor Taikang had a headache, no matter how unwilling he was, no matter how panicked he was, he still had to support Yang Xuan: "Okay, the noble concubine is also kind, but she didn't act well..."

"But those things...there are yang-replenishing things in those things!" Yang Xuan's eyes widened, and he clenched his hands into fists, as if out of breath.

A 17-year-old boy who is in full bloom accidentally touches a big thing that replenishes yang, and one can imagine the consequences.

It's fine in normal times, but now that the solar eclipse has just passed, the timing is sensitive, and if any rumor spreads, it's sexual adultery and unscrupulous!

Emperor Taikang paused for a moment, and immediately said: "Which palace man is making such a fool of himself! He was scared out of his wits by the Tiangou Shiri, his mind wandered and he didn't care about his errands, and he would send the wrong things by mistake! Eunuch Gao——"

Eunuch Gao stepped out at the right time: "Your Majesty."

"Go and capture this incompetent slave and send it to the Punishment Division!"

"Yes!"

This made it clear that Yang Xuan would be satisfied with the behavior of dumping the blame on the people below and covering up Concubine Tian. He is just a bear, not a fool.So he stared at the ground tightly, with a wooden face and no sound.

Emperor Taikang sighed: "You are the prince, shouldering the responsibility of the country and the country. What I ask of you is different from others. You should understand my painstaking efforts."

Yang Xuan still didn't speak.

"You haven't been in the palace for a long time, and you don't have many good things around you. After a while, I will ask Eunuch Gao to go to my private treasury and choose some for you to send."

This is to appease.

"Whatever you lack, you can bring it up. You and my father and son don't need to see each other. It's just that if you don't want to be a prince, don't mention it again in the future."

Yang Xuan curled her lips: "Then where is she—"

"I will restrain the imperial concubine to be restrained. After all, if you are not a mother and child, I can't expect you to be like a family."

"The minister there has been busy recently..."

"I have the right to be cheap with you. When things happen, I can make my own decisions. I don't listen to anyone's words. I am only responsible to me."

That would be great...

Yang Xuan likes this 'cheap power' the most, with it, he can do whatever he wants outside the palace!

"Thank you, Father!"

Taikang Emperor watched the prince leave, pinched the center of his brows, and felt that a few more gray hairs had grown in just a short while.No matter how much you don't like it, no matter how much you look at it as an eyesore, this prince should stay for a while, at least in the near future, so you can't act rashly.

"Come here, send a message to the noble concubine for me—"

……

Concubine Tian Gui saw that Emperor Taikang ordered someone to come and reprimand her, she immediately made a full gesture, Rou Rou's eyes were full of grievances with tears in her eyes, and when they left, she directly lifted the table.

"This palace really underestimated this prince. The timing of the choice is good, and the eye drops are good!"

Originally, she hadn't paid much attention to the reminder from Nanny Gui last night, but she didn't expect that the bastard would crawl along after being pecked at by the birds all year round!How dare she insult her by saying that there is something wrong with the things she sent, does she seem as stupid as her brain!

How can you swallow this breath?In an instant, her beautiful eyes shone slightly, and several ideas had passed through her mind.

Nanny Gui hurriedly stopped her: "Your Majesty, you can't, the time is right now, you can't match up with the prince."

The Tiangou eclipsed the sun to warn, someone has already denounced the imperial concubine as a traitor, otherwise, with the emperor's attitude of favoring the imperial concubine, no matter what, he would not send someone to reprimand her.

Concubine Tian Gui's beautiful eyes were slightly closed, and she took a deep breath for a long time before she managed to suppress the air pressure. The palms of her fingernails were covered with red marks: "I will let that bitch jump around for a few more days..."

As soon as she breathed well, a palace lady came over and invited Nanny Gui to the door to whisper a few words, Nanny Gui's face immediately changed, she waved away all the palace people, and whispered a few words to Concubine Tian Gui.

The teacup in Tian Guifei's hand fell to the ground, and the sound of breaking was crisp.

"Check it out for me! I want to see who wants to mess with me!"

……

Yang Xuan wanted to get the 'cheap act right', so he went back to the palace even more perfunctory. While comforting the people, he was busy taking care of Cui Yu and finding out who was behind the kidnapping of Cui Yu.However, he was busy, and the things that should be done were also in decline.

Someone started to impeach the imperial concubine, and his people naturally followed up according to the plan. The excerpts were written even more gaudy, and the quotations from the scriptures were sharp.

Regarding the solar eclipse, there must be an explanation. Emperor Taikang has been unwilling to issue an edict to sin against himself for a long time, and the ministers are also unwilling to stand up and blame the emperor for what they did wrong. Pot, you must have the awareness to sacrifice your own life, everyone is still reluctant to die.

Then who is this pot dumped to?Concubine Haremiya couldn't be more suitable.

All of a sudden, there were many rumors, and even the king of Yue came forward and ran around to make peace, but it was not easy.It's about their own lives, who is willing to let go?

Emperor Taikang didn't want to issue an edict to sin against himself, and he protected Concubine Tian Gui and didn't want her to bear the name of treacherous concubine, so the situation froze for a while.

With the wise ministers who advertised their loyalty, they began to think of ways to relieve the emperor's worries.But why is this situation so easy to break?Every time an idea comes out, it will be suppressed by various reasons, until a voice comes out from nowhere: Please Prince Zhengdong Palace can be broken.

Think about it, everyone, and immediately punch your palms, ah!

Is the status of the prince and crown prince honorable, and should he be in the East Palace?That's for sure.The reason why I didn’t live in the East Palace after I came back was because the empress in the harem didn’t want to, and the emperor can’t deny it. If I use this reason to deal with the big event of the solar eclipse——

The prince is the future emperor, at least his current status is like this, he can bear the word of God's will.Entering the East Palace is just an action, it looks like a symbol, and it doesn't take a lot of effort to do it. It is harmless to the country, the people, and everywhere. It just makes a few people in the palace feel uncomfortable. You don’t need to download it, it’s suitable anywhere, why not do it?

As soon as the method was handed over, Emperor Taikang considered it for a while, no matter how hard his throat was, he had to pinch his nose to admit it.No way, who made this seem the most suitable method, basically without paying any price?

……

Cui Yu fell into a drowsy sleep for four days, and finally woke up, with a little more energy, and he could think about things and talk.

When he was rescued that day, he didn't tell Yang Xuan any details about his captivity. It's not because he forgot about his various experiences, but because he had too many thoughts, he didn't know what to say.If you talk about Yang Xuan less, you will feel uneasy, and if you talk about Yang Xuan too much, you will feel even worse. Heart-eating Gu, you can tell how cruel it is just by hearing the name.And he believed in Yang Xuan, even if he didn't know about it, he could handle the outside affairs well.

Now that his body is recovering and his spirit is back, he can heal from the skin trauma. Yang Xuan should be able to bear this fear when he hears scary things again.

Cui Yu never thought of hiding Yang Xuan's secrets, that is, if two hearts are happy, they should be honest with each other. Moreover, the two of them are often together, and they are most familiar with each other's behavior habits, so they can't hide it...

When Yang Xuan walked into the room carrying the medicine bowl, he saw Cui Yu stroking the tiger's fur in a daze.

The little tiger, Chou, has changed his temper. He used to be playful and playful, but now he is quiet and well-behaved. Cui Yu lay on the bed in a coma and never left him. Now that he wakes up, he still refuses to leave. He always looks at Cui Yu from time to time. Two eyes, one tender and one coquettish, as if afraid that Cui Mata would become weak again.

Seeing Yang Xuan come in, he touched Cui Yu's arm to remind him, "Meow——"

Cui Yu tilted his head, saw Yang Xuan, raised his eyebrows and raised his lips, smiling like a warm spring breeze, filled with countless tenderness: "You are here."

Yang Xuan was unmoved: "No matter how much you laugh, you still have to drink the medicine."

Cui Mata sighed.He really doesn't like to drink this medicine.Obviously there is only skin trauma left, wouldn't it be better to use external medicine for the wound?He really didn't understand why he had to drink this bitter soup.

But Yang Xuan stared at it with staring eyes, he dared not stop drinking...

"Ouch—" almost vomited again.

Yang Xuan quickly stuffed a candied fruit into his mouth and pressed it.

The little tiger also came over and rubbed Cui Yu's face up and down. The tiger's paw even patted Yang Xuan, as if to say: Master is not angry, let's see Tiger King beat him up for you!

Cui Mata laughed 'poof'.

He has raised two live treasures!

Patting the head of the bed, he tilted his head and looked at Yang Xuan: "Come, let's chat."

Yang Xuan sat over and took Cui Yu into his arms.

Amber's round eyes stared even wider in shock, the little tiger forgot to slap her paws.

Yang Xuan hugged Cui Yu even tighter as if in a demonstration: "Mine!"

The little tiger quit this time, and rushed over with a "meow, meow, woof", threatening in his throat, as if he was going to fight Cui Yu for [-] rounds.

"Hahaha——" Cui Yan laughed for a while, hugged the little tiger and rubbed it in his arms, "Be good."

Being hugged by the owner, the little tiger was also satisfied, opened his mouth and yawned, rubbed against his master's arm, closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Cui Yu asked softly: "What is the background of the person who captured me that day, do you have a clue?"

Speaking of this, Yang Xuan became very angry: "I don't know which person with a certain name has managed such a powerful force in Luoyang City, no one knows!" The people who really want to follow are like disappearing into the sea, and they can't be found no matter what!

Cui Yu lowered his eyes: "Who do you think has such great ability to make such a big impact in Luoyang, the capital of the empire?"

Don't look at the evidence, don't look at the clues, just guess?

Yang Xuan hadn't tried this direction yet, but as soon as Cui Yan reminded him, his face changed.Such a large booth was quietly set up, and the anti-detection techniques were used to the extreme, even the senior officials of the aristocratic family who had lived in Luoyang for a long time were able to hide it... Except for a few people in the palace, who has such great ability?

"Before entering Luoyang, our people walked around. Because of the relationship between Wang Xie's family and the He Gang, the investigation is still enough. The people in Tsing Yi can hide it, which proves that their background is good." Cui Yu's voice is clear and moist. , Reasonable and orderly, "The world has been in chaos for hundreds of years. Although Da'an has established a country, it does not rule out people with ulterior motives. But if these people can wedge their forces into the capital of Da'an, they can make such a big mess that no one will notice. The world will change their surname long ago. .”

Yang Xuan nodded, deeply convinced.

Cui Yu: "The king of Yue made great efforts to develop his subordinates' contacts. In order to flaunt his image of virtuous and transcendent, he did not intervene in military power. He had few dead soldiers, and most of the guards around him were given by the emperor. We are very familiar with his power, so it shouldn't be. he."

Yang Xuan nodded, thinking along this line of thought: "It's definitely not King Chang." That's just a bad-tempered perverted dandy, relying on the emperor's favor to do his best, and doesn't even bother to develop connections, how could he do this secretly? kind of force?

Cui Yu: "Pingjun Wang..."

Yang Xuan answered: "If King Pingjun has this ability, he won't be crushed like this by King Yue. If I don't come back, I will be beaten to death."

Cui Yu blinked: "Could it be the emperor?"

Yang Xuan thought for a while, then shook his head: "The emperor has his own dark hands, and Tong Xiu, the commander of the imperial army, is a capable man. He doesn't need to use other methods." At this point, he paused, "Other things will be handled by others." Well, I can't hide the things in Luoyang from Tong Xiu... I don't really believe it."

It means to doubt that Emperor Taikang knows this power?Did you know it and didn't stop it, allowing it to exist?

The two were silent at the same time.

After a long time, Cui Yu whispered, "Could it be... Tian Guifei?"

Yang Xuan narrowed his long and narrow eyes, and sneered, "If my father is so stupid, Da'an will finish his game sooner or later."

"If it's really Concubine Tian, ​​the emperor may have noticed it at first, but because he dotes on Concubine Tian and thinks that she can't cause any major troubles, he acquiesced. Or—" Cui Yu's eyes drooped slightly, and the bottom of his eyes faintly glowed, "Concubine Tian When starting this power, I greeted Emperor Taikang, and after Emperor Taikang agreed and didn't pay any more attention, did she quietly make it so big?"

After thinking about it, he shook his head again: "It's all just speculation, there is no evidence, so it's hard to be sure. It's just that this person has a strong desire to ask for the booklet. Even if it doesn't match up this time, it will match up in the future. You just sent a few people to tell you If there is no survivor at the scene, this person must hate you very much and want to find you very much."

This is normal, and Yang Xuan very much agrees.

"You were wearing a mask when you rescued me. Others don't know who you are, but I was exposed, and I will be the focus of their surveillance. You should be careful in the future and don't meet me. If you have to see me, you must wear a mask."

Yang Xuan nodded: "Okay."

"Your behavior in the past few days has coincided with saving me. Even if the person behind this scene doesn't know it's you now, they will definitely have doubts one day in the future. Be careful if someone tempts you."

After Yang Xuan agreed, she frowned again: "It's not okay to avoid it all the time, but think of a way so that they don't dare to provoke you."

"I thought of that," Cui Yu raised his head, and looked at Yang Xuan with a smile, "I don't like to be wronged, so I can't expose you. How about showing the power of the River Gang?"

Yang Xuan was startled, and kissed Cui Yu's forehead. After thinking about it, she readily agreed, "Very good. The River Gang is mysterious, showing a little bit of power, and the people behind the scenes think it's not unexpected to save you a few days ago."

The two settled the matter, and Cui Yu brought up another point: "The man in Tsing Yi who captured me said a few strange words. He thought that something was threatening when I was 13 years old, and he thought I would definitely listen to them."

Yang Xuan was quite surprised: "13 years old? Does he know you?"

"I don't remember seeing him," Cui Yan shook his head, his eyes full of doubts, "In fact, I don't even remember what he said, but what he said is well-founded, and it doesn't seem to be false... I suspect that I I forgot some memories, I really gave others very important things back then.”

Yang Xuan: "I will continue to investigate him. Even if Luoyang is turned upside down, I will still find him!"

"He didn't wear a mask when he met me. I can draw his face and you," Cui Yu sighed. "But I don't think he was the one who experienced what happened back then. Someone said it to him."

"Then get that guy out!"

Cui Yu nodded: "That's exactly what I mean. Although it's been a long time, it's not easy to check, but I know it was seven years ago, and the Li family held a banquet. We only need to check all the Li family banquets in that year. The person we are looking for, I understand. Tea, knowing the scriptures and righteousness, is not an official, but also has a relationship with the official..."

Summing up the clues, it seems that it is not difficult to do it.

After talking about these things, Cui Yu finally said the most important thing: "There is one more thing, I told you, don't worry—"

At this moment, Jiayin came in to spread the news, saying that there was news from the palace that Emperor Taikang was looking for the prince.

Cui Mata said, "You can go to work first."

Yang Xuan shook his head with a sarcastic expression: "What can he do with me, but he just invites me into the East Palace." While talking, he waved his hand to make Jia Yin retreat, which clearly meant that he would not return to the palace.

Cui Yu blinked slightly, and raised his voice to tease: "Isn't this exactly our purpose?"

"I refused." Yang Xuan smiled, with a confident face, "Now they are begging me, so I have to show some sincerity."

Jia Yin got the order and withdrew in due course.

Yang Xuan stroked Cui Yu's soft hair, her eyes were soft and her voice was hoarse: "What did you want to tell me just now? Huh?"

……

Concubine Tian Gui of Yuehua Palace heard the news that the crown prince refused the invitation to enter the East Palace, and when she was busy appeasing the people before returning, her heart beat very fast.She hadn't been this flustered for a long time.

It feels...as if something is out of control.

The author has something to say: Mata beauty: Ugh——
