miscalculation

Sitting in the study, Xiao Yunxiang smiled slightly as he watched Princess Yongshi play around outside.The last time she was assassinated, Xiao Yanshuang was quite frightened, but fortunately she was fine, and in a few days, she could be sent back to the palace.

He glanced at the secret letter and knew that Meng Guangbin had been demoted by his father for a reason, but he laughed at himself.Speaking of which, Meng Guangbin is the most useful pawn in his hand, and it must be because of Gu Qingmo that he will be exposed this time.That day he captured Qin Xin in Huanong Pavilion and captured Gu Qingmo alive, but he let her go and only reported to Xiao Yi that she entered the battle by mistake.

Thinking back to the past, he and Gu Qingmo were childhood sweethearts, if he hadn't been threatened by Xiao Cheng, Gu Zhao would not have refused to allow this marriage.He has no intention of being on the throne, but he holds a grudge against Xiao Cheng. The case of being a slave is nothing more than killing two birds with one stone.

Concubine Liu Chen knew about his affair with Gu Qingmo back then, and when she saw that Gu Zhao betrothed her daughter to someone else, she sent someone to assassinate her, making Gu Qingmo a widow.He felt ashamed of her in his heart, that's why he was extra tolerant in Qin Xin's matter, and he didn't want to be beaten.So far, he and her have lost all love and hatred.

He raised his head, looked at a picture of Begonia sleeping in spring in the study, and called someone to ask: "You have been guarding Zheng's house for many days, have you found any traces?"

The servant reported: "Miss Zheng was kicked out of the Zheng family for some reason, and her whereabouts are unknown now. Although many people followed her sister Zheng Biyun, they found nothing. They searched around the capital and found nothing, but they probably never left the capital."

Xiao Yunxiu sighed, waved him down, then walked alone to the picture of Hai Tang Chun sleeping, and stroked the scroll in a daze, but he didn't know where the person in the picture was now.

He was thinking, when he heard Xiao Zheng's visit, he went out to welcome him.He cupped his hands and said: "Brother Four Emperors came, Yun Xiang never greeted him from far away, I hope you will forgive me for being rude."

Xiao Zheng ignored him, walked to the courtyard on his own, walked around three times before stopping at the gazebo.He said: "Shanyuan, I heard that your arm was injured, how is it now?"

Xiao Yunxiang sat down with him, poured tea himself, and retreated from the crowd, then said: "No problem, I can still write and draw."

Xiao Zheng said: "It is widely rumored in Beijing that your hand injury is almost disabled, it seems that it is just spreading rumors, so it is very good."

Xiao Yun asked in detail: "Brother Fourth Emperor is here, shouldn't it be just a simple visit?"

Xiao Zheng glanced at the garden and asked, "Your garden implies five elements and eight trigrams, and I have seen the way of arrangement at the place where my uncle Tian Shihua was. That day when Huquan fell off the cliff, his jade pendant appeared in Huanong Pavilion, and Tian Shihua happened to disappear, maybe it was not an accident?"

Xiao Yunxiang said: "Times have changed, is it an accident, what's the matter?"

Xiao Zheng asked: "The picture of a tiger with an orchid in its mouth was given to Xiao Qi by you? Where is that square handkerchief now?"

Xiao Yun smiled and said: "Brother Si Huang is really quick to talk, that painting was indeed given to Xiao Qi by me, and the handkerchief is also in my hand."

Xiao Zheng said: "Ming people don't speak in secret, so give me your handkerchief."

Xiao Yunxiang did not change his face, and said: "That is the evidence that Concubine Lan Gui does not abide by women's morals. Brother Fourth Emperor, you came empty-handed, without the slightest sincerity. Please forgive Shanyuan for not handing it over."

Xiao Zheng said angrily: "What condition do you have, tell me quickly!"

Xiao Yun said in detail: "If you hadn't come to my residence today, I'm afraid you have already received the order to assist Xiaoqi in presiding over the imperial examination."

Xiao Zheng frowned and said, "You mean, tell me not to help him?"

Xiao Yunxiang waved his hands and said, "Brother Fourth Emperor is really smart."

Xiao Zheng said: "My concubine is dead, it doesn't matter whether you want this handkerchief or not, I don't need to answer to you. What's more, what you said just now undoubtedly admits that the secret road between Ningxin Palace and Huquan Palace is caused by you. In detail, you are the chief culprit who killed the concubine mother."

Xiao Yunxiang smiled and said: "The middle of the secret road is just a wall. People say that concubines love each other. If they have no intentions, how can I succeed in this plan? What's more, the picture drawn on the handkerchief is written by the imperial concubine and empress herself. This is not me. Designed."

Xiao Zheng said angrily: "Why do you want to frame the concubine mother like this, because Ningxin Palace and Weiyang Palace are competing for favor?"

Xiao Yunxiang said: "All I did was to be happy for my mother and concubine."

Xiao Zheng was in a hurry and said: "You have suffered from aphasia since you were young, and Xiao Qi is the only one who can make you speak. I have never seen you and dare not say more when you have made trouble like this. You have always loved Lao Zhuang The way of doing things is that you must retaliate, which is really contradictory. Everything you do right now is against Xiaoqi, but do you really want to fight against him?"

Xiao Yunxiang was a little impatient, and said: "Stop talking nonsense, brother Si Huang, do you still want this handkerchief?"

Xiao Zheng said: "I can't bear to see siblings killing each other. Now that the eldest brother is dead, the second brother is useless, the third is no longer alive, and the fifth is living among the people. There are only three brothers left. You still have to fight to the death with Xiao Qi. ? For that chair you didn't even want?"

Xiao Yunxiang said: "It's a joke, no one in the world covets the throne, let alone we are princes, is it wrong for me to fight for the throne?"

Xiao Zheng said: "Seven of us brothers, in detail, you are the only one who is the least likely to want to sit in that position. When your mother and concubine were alive, how many times did you hope that you could live up to your expectations and not be obsessed with the ways of the old and the Zhuang? Participated in the concubine. You just put your love on calligraphy and painting, and now the concubine Chen is gone, but you want to seize the reserve. In the end, it is just to cause trouble for the concubine Chen's guilt. In addition, you believe that Xiaoqi is for the favor of men. Taking blood Ganoderma lucidum, causing the death of Concubine Chen, you are angry at him for not thinking of brotherhood. You are paranoid, there is no cure, I came here to talk to you today, I really don’t want you both to suffer. Come back , Every time he lifts your arm, he feels guilty."

Xiao Yunxiang remained silent at the moment, recalling that those assassins broke into the Prince Liang's mansion that day, it was strange to think of those institutions as if they were in an uninhabited territory.Afterwards, he tracked down and found out that those assassins came from a killer organization, but they disbanded themselves after breaking through Prince Liang's mansion.But he already understood that Liang Wang's mansion was built by the Liu family, and it was Xun Pei's mansion that invited capable people to come.Speaking of which, only members of the Pei family can know the Liang Palace well.Even if he knew this, he still refused to let go of his resentment towards Xiao Liang.

Xiao Zheng said: "You can keep the handkerchief if you want. I will leave Beijing after supervising the imperial examination. I just hope you don't want to be horny again."

After saying that, he left on his own, leaving Xiao Yunxiang standing on the spot alone.It happened that Princess Yongshi came to the courtyard, saw Xiao Zheng, she smiled happily, played with him for a long time, and then reluctantly said goodbye to him.
