After the scum of the enemy prince, I got pregnant

After leaving the Golden Palace, the imperial chariot slowly walked on the corridor of Daming Palace.

Everyone could see that the saint's face was worried, and none of them dared to speak too much. Only Feng Nei, who had been with him for a long time, could somewhat guess what the saint was thinking. respectfully said:

"General Shen, who was ordered to go to the Northwest Camp that day, was waiting outside the hall. Does the saint want to call him back?"

The people on the imperial chariot were silent, did not raise their eyes, but slightly raised the two fingers of their right hand after a while.

Feng Neishi knew that this was a one-word order: Xuan.

He looked in the direction of the Lizheng Palace and sighed silently.At the beginning, the sage used General Song to assist Fu Nanyin and the crown prince in Mobei. This General Shen was Song Shaoren's colleague in Zuojin Wuwei. The two had been competing secretly for the position of General over the years, but they did not Thinking that there was only an oral order to release people in the northwest camp, but he was so ineffective.

It's no wonder that Song Shaoren now has the position of General Zuo Jinwuwei.

General Shen naturally didn't expect things to develop to the point where he is today. When he was waiting outside the hall, his heart was hanging high. It was obviously cold in spring, and when the cold wind hit his face, his forehead was already soaked in cold sweat.

Outside the door, the voice of the guard singing and driving was heard, and when the saint got off the chariot and walked in slowly, he saw General Shen still kneeling on the ground, his expression was more like waiting for interrogation than replying.

"I didn't finish what I entrusted to you?"

The saint originally wanted to ask General Shen to enter the hall to answer, but seeing the appearance of the man on the ground, he seemed to think it was unnecessary.The hem of the clothes embroidered with dragon patterns stood in front of him, General Shen didn't dare to look up, and he didn't know that he had already been judged in the eyes of the saint at this time - far inferior to Song Shaoren.

"Back to the saint, my minister... When I first arrived at the Northwest Camp, King Linzi was no longer in the dungeon."

General Shen did not report this matter to the saint.

"His Royal Highness had released him earlier."

The man was detained by the prince, and the sage's attitude at the beginning was acquiescence; now that the overall situation has been settled, it is the most reasonable disposal for the prince to release the harmless King Linzi.When he went, the dungeon was already empty, and the king of Linzi was indeed not in the northwest camp...

"It's been released, what about the king of Linzi?"

The saint looked down upon him.The latter didn't dare to raise his head to look at him, so he couldn't see the faint anger contained in the saint's eyes. "Did you see it, or did someone else see it?"

Could it be that the crown prince called He Biming to release people, but in fact transferred the king of Linzi to a place where even the saints don't know where he is?

General Shen seemed to be enlightened, and then he kowtowed to the ground and said: "I implore the sage to give me a chance to redeem my meritorious deeds."

"Condemn the merits?"

General Shen thought that the sage would ask him how he planned to redeem meritorious deeds.He has been in charge of prison interrogation in the Zuo Jinwu Guard for many years, so he naturally knows many ways to pry the prisoner's mouth open. It is not difficult to find the whereabouts of King Linzi.Besides, since the saint had planned to send [-] guards to the Northwest Camp just now at the Golden Palace, he naturally had a choice in mind, so he...

"Follow Song Shaoren to the Northwest Camp in three days, and I will let you know how to avenge your crime."

All the words choked in his throat.General Shen's expression changed when he heard the words "Song Shaoren", he didn't realize the meaning of the latter sentence, he looked up in astonishment, only to see that the saint had already gone into the hall.

From a distance, he heard the saint intermittently saying to Neisi Feng: "I've been hiding outside for half a month... I'm getting more courageous... You son of a bitch..."

I don't know who I'm talking about.

This son of a bitch, it must be the prince... General Shen thought in his heart.

……

The Northwest Camp is between Chang'an and Mobei King City, even closer to Mobei. The war with Mobei for many years earlier made this camp have more and better trained soldiers than the other three camps in the Central Plains. sergeant.Except for the tens of thousands who went to the battlefield with the crown prince and then returned to Beijing triumphantly, there were still elite troops stationed in the battalion that were enough to make any side terrified.

When Li Pei left the palace, he rode his horse for three days and arrived at the gate of the camp.

"Master!"

"Go to the prison."

Li Pei got off the horse, without saying a word of gossip, the whip was wrapped around his palm casually.He walked so fast that a soldier who was originally guarding the camp gate had to quickly follow behind him.This is a military camp, and only the general ordered it to prohibit it. No one knew that earth-shattering events had happened in the Central Plains, and no one even knew that the King of Linzi, who was strong enough to compete with the crown prince for the reserve position, was locked in a dark prison here some time ago.He still doesn't know why the prince suddenly appeared outside the camp gate today...

But there is no doubt about it.

"Why did you come here?"

Li Pei asked, but kept walking.

The soldiers watched as his black cloak was covered with dust during the trek on horseback, but it still couldn't conceal the nobility and majesty on his body, and the rough whip wrapped around his hand was like a sword.No mention of the White Tiger Festival Hall, no mention of military power, and no mention of the position of the crown prince... For decades, the feud between the Central Plains Army and Mobei has deepened in countless failed battles, but the appearance of Li Pei seems to have turned decay into magic, Great victories and sieges over and over again until the destruction of Mobei became their beliefs.

Under the solemn surface of the soldier, his heart was not peaceful, but he still tried his best to reply with a straight line:

"Yes, General He came back half a month ago, but he only stayed for an hour before leaving."

He walked around the school grounds until he walked to the door of the dark prison where there was no one on weekdays, and stood still.

"Did you see someone leaving with him?"

"No, General He left by himself."

The soldier was not on duty that day, but he was surprisingly clear about what happened that day.At that time He Bi returned to Gyeonggi with a triumphant army, and the soldiers who were full of honor gathered around him for the first time and asked questions regardless of discipline.Almost everyone has seen that General He came alone, and when he left, there was no one around him—naturally, everyone didn't bother to ask him the reason for returning to the camp this time, and only regarded it as "business".

Li Pei stroked the whip in his hand, as if he was thinking about something.Then he raised his foot and walked towards the dark prison. The soldiers wanted to follow, but he raised his hand to stop him.

The northwest is dry, and the prison is only gloomy and cold, without the damp and moldy smell of other places.Li Pei stepped down the stone steps step by step, and the satin boots even made echoes when they landed. He walked to the cell where he and Li Jiao had been imprisoned, stretched out his hand, and the door opened.

Half a month has not worn away the traces of people living here, which also shows that after Li Jiao left, this dark prison seemed to be completely forgotten, and no one set foot there.

Beds, tables and chairs, a burnt oil lamp on the table, wine jugs with residual liquid, pens, inks, papers and inkstones...

His eyes touched a few lines of words on the rice paper pressed under the paperweight.Li Pei hadn't seen Li Jiao's handwriting for many years, and it was also in strict regular script. He didn't have the unbridled muscles and bones of Fu Nanyin, and he left behind the craftsmanship of copying famous copybooks for many years.

From the content of the left letter, Li Pei seemed to be able to imagine Li Jiao's appearance when he said these words to him, proud or sad.

"When I said those words to Brother Pei in the prison that day, I really didn't expect Brother Pei to be so easy to deceive and soft-hearted. He just kept me here for more than ten days and then reluctantly asked someone to let me out. You I have received the message from General Tuo He, but what I want to know is..."

"Brother Pei also cares about me, right? Or is it just because... that Mobei Guoshi who was lucky enough to be on the tip of my heart is still alive?"

"Many of the sentences I told my brother were unavoidable lies, but the sentence 'I like you' is true, and you must believe the other sentence."

Li Pei's eyes suddenly turned cold, and the letter paper was suddenly crumpled into a ball by the force of both hands.

Li Jiao didn't write the last sentence, and neither left any evidence, but even Li Peidang guessed his intention - the fact that he wanted to make the national teacher disappear was true.

The soldier stood outside the cell and waited for a long time. He didn't know why the prince went down to this empty cell, but the long silence was suddenly broken by a loud whip, and then some broken sound echoed in the dark cell. Among them, it seemed to be filled with the anger of the prince, which was particularly frightening.He shuddered, remembering in panic that the crown prince was indeed holding a whip in his hand, but... Could there be someone else down there?

It had been half an hour since he came out of the dark prison, and there was some movement outside. Li Pei knew that it was people from the imperial court who had arrived.

.

He clutched the letter for a long time before throwing it into the brazier at the door, and then stepped out of the prison door on the wreckage of a thin wooden chair.

Song Shaoren heard that the prince had already entered the camp first, so he left the three thousand soldiers and horses he led outside the camp.By the time he saw the prince, he had been facing the "old enemy of the past and today's subordinate" General Shen with a cold face for a while.

"Your Highness."

Song and Chen came with imperial edicts, so it's not good to do more greetings here, so they cut to the chase and said, "The sage ordered the ministers to take the King of Linzi back to Beijing."

People in the court may think that Linzi King is still imprisoned in the northwest camp by the crown prince, but these two people in front of him know the meaning of this decree—or they respectively grasp the two meanings of the saint.

General Shen took a step forward and said, "The prince, please hand over the King of Linzi."

However, General Song took another half step to block the front, respectfully persuading: "Please return to Chang'an first with your Highness."

Li Pei glanced at Song Shaoren, fell on General Shen's vigilant face, and suddenly laughed mockingly.

"The sage sent two generals, Zuo Jinwuwei, and there are thousands of soldiers and horses outside the camp. Is it because he is afraid that Gu will rely on the Northwest Army to resist and refuse to obey?"

Thinking of the comments and attacks on the East Palace in the past few days, the expressions of the two of them changed.General Shen couldn't figure out the prince's temper, and remembered the attitude of the saint outside the Lizheng Hall that day, frowned and said:

"As long as you tell the whereabouts of King Linzi, the ministers will never embarrass His Highness."

When Song Shaoren was with the crown prince in Mobei a while ago, he knew that King Linzi and the king of Mobei's affairs were hidden because of the crown prince's orders. not big.

Presumably the sage knew about it, and even the sage acquiesced in detaining people in the camp at first.But now the situation has become more difficult. If the king of Linzi does not appear for a day, the suspicion on the prince will not be cleared for a day.

"Your Highness, I'd better follow the ministers and wait to go back. There are still saints in the affairs of the court..."

It's just that Li Pei ignored Song Shaoren, and instead walked a few steps towards General Shen, with the horsewhip in his hand against the man's throat, and asked harshly, "You were ordered by the sage to release him half a month ago. Jiao disappeared, why didn't you report?"

With a pain in his throat, General Shen subconsciously wanted to struggle, but he was forced to raise his head to meet Li Pei's eyes full of anger and coercion. Suddenly, his mind froze and he froze in place.

This sentence was originally asked by the sage, but now the prince asked it again, but he didn't know how to answer it.

He once thought that since the order of the saint and the order of the prince were to release people, they would lead to the same end by different routes, as long as the person was no longer in the Northwest Camp.But now...

It wasn't the prince's hands and feet.

General Shen suddenly realized something in panic, the numbness in his throat made his words a little hoarse: "Prince, forgive me, I... I am not doing well..."

Song Shaoren had never seen Li Pei express his emotions like this, as if the whip was about to hit General Shen in the next second.He was about to stop him, but when the next second came, Li Pei suddenly sneered.He took back the whip in his hand,

"It's General Shen's actions that made it difficult for Gu, so that Gu had no choice but to resist the order."

General Shen breathed a sigh of relief, and staggered half a step back, just as Song Shaoren's eyesight was quick to give him a hand.The latter looked at Li Pei, seeming to have guessed the whole story, and said, "King Linzi hid after he left the camp, and wanted to use this to frame His Highness?"

"The person he wants to frame is not alone." Li Pei said coldly, his eyes still not moving away from General Shen, "Do you know what the saint sent you here? Thirty army sticks, General Shen can be punished?"

Condemning meritorious deeds...General Shen suddenly remembered what he said outside the Lizheng Hall, but the saint never mentioned general merits in his words...

"I will let you know how to forgive your sin..."

General Shen's heart shuddered, "I...have to be punished."

Song Shaoren next to him obviously didn't expect this, and looked towards Li Pei unexpectedly, but saw that he didn't look at General Shen again, but continued the half-spoken sentence just now:

"Li Jiao left a letter in the dungeon with unknown words but enough to exonerate me. The person he wanted to kill was not me,

It was Ah Yin. "

General Song's heart skipped a beat.

It's just that at this juncture, he could only automatically ignore the prince's nasty address to Funanyin, and asked with a serious face, "What about the letter?"

"Burned."

"..."

General Song had a vague suspicion in his mind, but he still couldn't help asking Li Pei, "Why did you burn the letter?"

He saw Li Pei suddenly twitched the corner of his mouth when he heard this sentence, and then quickly recovered his previous indifferent expression, "Although I don't know what method Li Jiao is going to use, for the sake of his wife and children It’s safer to pour this pot of dirty water on me.”

He paused and asked, "Has General Song married yet?"

The guess in the latter's heart gradually became reality, but he still shook his head honestly, "Not yet."

"Then you don't understand."
