I was forced to marry

Tomorrow is Emperor Jingwen's birthday, and the princes of the Western Jin Dynasty and Eastern Chongqing have arrived in Jing'an today.Different from when Li Yuanjing came, Emperor Jingwen specially sent Cheng Wang Xiaohuan to greet him at the gate of the city.

Because the post house was destroyed, Xiao Huan listened to Emperor Jingwen's order and invited the princes of the two countries to live in Qinfangyuan, which specially entertained the distant relatives of the royal family. two countries.

However, Li Yuanjing didn't hesitate at all, and didn't even walk out of the yard where he was staying.In the whole Qinfang Garden, only the sound of his piano can be heard, but no one has seen him.

"Nothing different these days?"

"No, I have sent people to guard Qinfang Garden tightly, and no suspicious person has appeared." Xiao Huan sat at the bottom of the hall, drank a few sips of tea, and said.

"I don't mean this, Li Yuanjing is really the same as usual?" Xiao Yue stared at Xiao Huan and asked.

Xiao Huan shook his head and said: "It's really the same. Since he changed his residence, he is still the same as usual. He either stays in the Qinfang Garden to play the piano and practice swords, or goes to the suburbs to ride horses, or is in the courtroom of the ceremony official. Accompanying you for a stroll around Jing’an, you seem to be very interested in the culture of the Great Zhou Dynasty.”

This is what made Xiao Yue feel strange. Li Yuanjing's anger that day was real, but he suddenly became so obedient, which didn't fit Li Yuanjing's ruthless personality.

It's just that there is nothing suspicious, and Xiao Yue has nothing to do.

Moreover, Luo Shaojin seemed to be very busy these few days. He read the content uploaded by the carrier pigeon that day, but he didn't have any major reaction. He only asked him to strengthen the guards of the East Palace, and left again regardless of Li Yuanjing's life or death.

However, Xiao Yue couldn't do it.

It wasn't that Xiao Yue was curious about Li Yuanjing, or that he was curious about the person who wanted to burn Li Yuanjing to death to avenge himself and Da Zhou.But Xiao Yue knew clearly that he would run away one day.But it is only natural to run, and to run without anyone noticing, you have to clear all these obstacles.

After all, I know too much, and now I am in a state of being on the verge of riding a tiger. If what I see in my eyes is not clear, I really don't know how I will die in the future.

Moreover, there is still a big threat to him personally in Jing'an City.Although that person is not worth mentioning in Luo Shaojin's eyes.After all, the current East Palace is heavily guarded, and Xiao Yue is accompanied by a large number of government soldiers when he goes in and out.However, he dared to pour oil on the post house and set fire to it, and hid in Jing'an, so that Luo Shaojin and the people in Yingmen couldn't find him, which shows how good his brain is.

"Prince?" Seeing that Xiao Yue was in a daze, Xiao Huan called out.

Xiao Yue came back to his senses, "Brother Huang, let all the people guarding the dark place of Qinfang Garden withdraw." Only a fool would burn it again.

"Okay, but what's the matter, do you want to report it to the emperor?" Xiao Huan asked, but Xiao Yue shook his head and said no.Tomorrow is Emperor Jingwen's birthday, telling him these rumors now will only add to the trouble, and the result will be the same, there is no other way except to send someone to watch him like I did.

"Then if there is nothing else, I'll go back home first." Xiao Huan stood up, didn't ask any other questions, just bowed his hands to Xiao Yue.

"I'm sorry, Brother Huang. You must be very tired after running around all day. Go back quickly. Tong'er is still waiting, and I will be busy tomorrow." Xiao Yue got up and saw him off.After hearing this, Xiao Huan said gratefully: "I haven't thanked the prince for interceding with the emperor, so that Tong'er can come back to the palace with me."

This was a few days ago, when Xiao Yue entered the palace to listen to the imperial court, and when he finally went to pay his respects to the queen, when he passed by the imperial garden, he heard someone crying in the rockery, and when he got closer, he realized it was Xiao Tong.

After Xiao Yue inquired, she learned that Concubine Liu was not feeling well and her condition was not very good. For fear of infecting Xiao Tong, Emperor Jingwen ordered Xiao Tong to move out of Concubine Liu's residence.

According to the custom of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the prince lived alone in the East Palace from the age of ten, while the other princes, no matter whether they were crowned kings or not, left the palace to live alone at the age of 14, and were raised by their biological mother in the palace before the age of 14.

If the biological mother is not around, the queen will raise her, or the emperor will personally choose someone.And Xiao Tong originally wanted to send it to the queen, but Xiao Tong refused, crying to find his brother.

Seeing that he was crying pitifully, Xiao Yue thought about it, and begged Emperor Jingwen to ask Xiao Huan to take Xiao Tong back.

Also because of this little incident, Xiao Huan's loyalty to Xiao Yue deepened.In this regard, Xiao Yue can only sigh. "Father is also sympathetic to the brotherhood of brother Huang and Tong'er, so he agreed to me." Xiao Yue said, with a bit of envy in his eyes.

A rare smile appeared on Xiao Huan's imprisoned face. After thanking him three times, he lifted his legs and left.

As soon as Xiao Huan left, Xiao Yue withdrew half of the guards from the East Palace, and then took Sixi for a walk on the street.He didn't believe it, he couldn't pull out the thorn in his flesh like this!

The streets of Jing'an are very bustling and lively. Compared with the modern capital, except for the lack of modern facilities and tools, the rest is almost as good as it is.

Xiao Yue was wearing plain and inconspicuous clothes, looking and buying indiscriminately on the street, he really looked like a young man who sneaked out for fun.

Sixi followed him, afraid that he might make a mistake. At first, seeing him in the crowd, she was worried that he would disappear, but now she saw him going to a place where there were few people, and she was worried that something might happen to him.

It wasn't until seeing that the place where Xiao Yue was walking was getting more and more secluded, that Sixi chased after her and said, "Your Highness, tomorrow is the Emperor's birthday, so it's time to go back and make preparations."

Xiao Yue paused, turned around and looked at the old man in front of him, but said with a smile: "Si Gonggong, do you know how to fight?"

Sixi didn't know why he asked such a question. He had lived for more than 50 years and had never had a fight. "No."

"Then do you know martial arts?"

Si Xi was inexplicable, but said honestly: "Of course not."

"Then you will definitely hide." After saying that, Xiao Yue suddenly pushed Sixi into the alley, then took out the slingshot hidden in his bosom, and shot it at the person who hadn't had time to hide in the opposite alley , right in his chest.

The weapon on this slingshot is not a stone, but a sharpened piece of iron.At this time, it was piercing into the chest of the opposite person.

"It's called being the first to act first." Seeing Yuan Bei whose expression could be interpreted as bewildered, Xiao Yue's smile was very playful.

"Xiao Yue!" Yuan Bei still stared at Xiao Yue with his signature vicious eyes, and the cruelty in his eyes has not diminished even after not seeing him for a while.

"It's time for me to realize what I said, otherwise, you always like to play this cat-and-mouse game with me." After speaking, Xiao Yue drew out his dagger and rushed towards Yuanbei at top speed.

Due to Yuan Bei's injury and some other reasons, he was not Xiao Yue's opponent. After several rounds, he was defeated.Now Xiao Yue is being pressed to the ground with a dagger on his neck.

Xiao Yue stared at him, his eyes had never been so cruel, he felt that he had run out of his rationality and kindness as a modern person for this young man who almost killed him several times.

But Yuanbei, who was being pressed by him, did not wait for his next move, but his stomach began to growl uncontrollably.

Xiao Yue was very close to him, so he could hear clearly.

"If you want to kill, you have to obey!" Yuan Bei still gritted his teeth viciously, but this vicious tone coupled with a growling stomach is very unsuitable.

"I wasted all my energy on killing people and setting fires, and even forgot to eat?" Xiao Yue sneered.

Yuan Bei narrowed his eyes and stared at him, his face flushed with embarrassment and anger, "Stop talking nonsense, it's my bad luck to fall into your hands!"

"Fortunately, you were unlucky. If you really burned Li Yuanjing to death, the unlucky ones might be me and Da Zhou."

Yuan Bei wanted to support the body that was being pressed by Xiao Yue's knees, but because of hunger he had no extra strength, but he still said sharply: "If you want to kill, kill, why do you need to make some inexplicable excuses!"

Hearing this, Xiao Yue's eyes were sensitively flashed with doubt, and he withdrew his dagger and said to a few soldiers standing on the roof at some time: "Take him back to the East Palace first, don't make a fuss."

"Yes." A few government soldiers jumped down, grabbed Yuanbei and withdrew.

Xiao Yue just got up, but saw that Sixi was terrified. He came back to his senses when he heard himself calling him, and then kowtowed to himself, and made himself promise not to do this dangerous thing again.

Xiao Yue didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he could only guarantee that Sixi stopped kowtowing.

On the way back, Sixi still followed Xiao Yue in fear, saying, "Although His Highness wants to arrest him personally, why bother as a disloyal slave? It would be great if I hurt myself."

Xiao Yue was walking with big strides, but when he heard what Sixi said, he turned his head abruptly, "Si Gonggong, you...know him too?" After organizing his words, Xiao Yue thought that the people and queens in the East Palace had all changed. When no one knows Yuan Bei, who knows that Sixi has.

Sixi nodded, "When Your Highness accepted him, the old slave happened to be sending something to the East Palace at the Queen's empress's order, so I saw it."

Xiao Yue said smoothly: "I used to treat him well, right?"

"Naturally, His Highness kept him with him all day long. Later, when the false prince appeared, he disappeared, saying that he was suffering from a sudden illness. Now, it seems that he was also there?" Sixi came back to her senses, sweating in shock.

"It's not what my father-in-law thought. I hope that my father-in-law will keep silent about his affairs, and the queen mother too." Not wanting to cause trouble, Xiao Yue suppressed Sixi's surprise and said so.

After hearing this, Sixi was still puzzled. It can be seen that Xiao Yue said so seriously, but he didn't say anything and accepted the order.

What Yuan Bei said just now made Xiao Yue a little puzzled. Could it be that he set the fire?Thinking in this way, Xiao Yue also thought of another question, that is, Yuan Bei is good at martial arts, and he was able to successfully eunuch him, what happened at that time?

Because of doubts, Xiao Yue suppressed his desire to kill Yuan Bei for the time being, and asked Sixi to keep today's affairs absolutely secret and not to tell anyone before returning to the East Palace.

Yuan Bei was imprisoned in the firewood room. Because of his weak physical strength and being tied up, his face looked very pale. Now he was taking a nap with his eyes closed, but the growling in his stomach didn't mean to stop.

Seeing Yuan Bei now, Xiao Yue felt a little dazed when thinking of Yuan Bei when he first met.

"What is your purpose in coming to Jing'an, continue to kill me?" Xiao Yue sat in front of Yuan Bei with a small stool and asked, propping his chin.

Yuan Bei glared at him with red eyes, "Yes!"

Xiao Yue has the urge to help his forehead. When it comes to persistence, who can compare to Yuan Bei.

"You set the fire in the post house very beautifully."

"Xiao Yue! Although I am not a good person, the Beiliu people believe in me. If I did it, I will admit it. If I didn't do it, I wouldn't recognize a word!"

Yuan Bei's voice was harsh and high-pitched, and the remaining strength in his body was probably used to say these words.

"Not you?" Xiao Yue stood up and paced.

When he saw the words "Yuan Bei went to Jing'an" written on the letter paper, Xiao Yue intuitively believed that the fire in the posthouse was caused by Yuan Bei.Apart from him, no one else would have this motive.

But now it seems that I was wrong?

Hey, I don't know what happened to Ah Luo that made him not even pay attention to these major events, although he didn't seem to really pay attention.

"That fire was set by Li Yuanjing himself!" Xiao Yuezheng couldn't figure it out, and Yuan Bei on the side blurted out perhaps because he couldn't stand it anymore, or for some other reason.

"What did you say?" Xiao Yue hurriedly turned around and asked.

"I don't know." Yuan Bei turned his head away, he was so hungry and collapsed, he really wished that Xiao Yue would kill him with a knife, and it would be better than starving him to death like this.

"He put it up by himself?" Xiao Yue murmured to himself suspiciously, then looked at Yuan Bei, and ordered his servants to bring some food.

Without untying it, Xiao Yue directly tore off the steamed buns and fed them into Yuan Bei's mouth, and said: "I don't want to threaten you anymore, I always use that method, I feel disgraceful, and it will hurt your soul a lot, so you Tell yourself."

Yuan Bei closed his eyes, he didn't want to eat, he felt too useless, but he couldn't control his hungry stomach, couldn't resist the aroma of steamed buns, so he closed his eyes and opened his mouth.Now hearing what Xiao Yue said, he gritted his teeth again, but finally let go, "I heard with my own ears that Li Yuanjing ordered people to set the fire."

Although Xiao Yue was surprised, he believed the words a little bit, and the rain that night fell very timely, maybe it was calculated, even if no one rescued him, Li Yuanjing would not be burned to death.Besides, other people have no motive, and the biggest motive is Li Yuanjing himself, but his purpose of doing so is hard to figure out.

After feeding Yuan Bei another steamed bun, Xiao Yue looked at him in a bit of a panic, and seemed to think of something, and asked suspiciously, "Why did you go to Li Yuanjing's post?"

Yuan Bei stopped chewing the steamed buns, then gave Xiao Yue a deep look, and laughed at himself: "I wanted to come to the East Palace to kill you, but I was unlucky, and I was almost discovered by your soldiers, so I had to retreat, but unexpectedly, something happened. Arrived at the post by mistake, heh!"

For some reason, after Yuan Bei finished speaking, Xiao Yue didn't feel anything, but the figure of Nanny Qi walking from the back wall that night flashed across his mind like rewinding the tape.

Quietly, Xiao Yue returned to the back wall with a soldier who knew how to do light work. Remembering how he felt that night, he asked him to bring him up.

Taking a closer look, Xiao Yue finally discovered the mystery.

At night, after everyone fell asleep, Xiao Yue ordered someone to dig out all the dwarf bamboo under the back wall silently, and the entrance of a secret passage was exposed like this.

The entrance is extremely secretive, under the soil of dwarf bamboo.If it is not all excavated, and deep into the mud, it will not be found at all.It's just that it's too late to find out now, because the entrance to the secret passage has been sealed, leaving only an unfilled hole here.

Xiao Yue stood up with a heavy heart, but he only told the eunuchs not to talk about what happened tonight, and asked them to restore the dwarf bamboos to their original state with lightning speed.

Now that Li Yuanjing knows his identity, does he know that Bai Xiyu, me and A Luo also know it?And, what does this have to do with the old mother in the Great Zhou Palace?

Xiao Yue thought to himself, at such a critical moment, Luo Shaojin was not by his side, which made him a little uneasy.What's more, tomorrow is Emperor Jingwen's fortieth birthday.
