A traitor

At night, Su Qinglang sat in the courtyard of the Shangshu Mansion with delicious food and wine on the table, and there was no one around him.

A bright moon hangs in the sky, and as it is already late autumn, the flowers and plants in the courtyard are withered, only the crickets screaming mournfully in the frost and dew.

Drinking for himself, just picked up the flagon, and saw two figures walking towards him, he looked sideways, pretending he didn't see it, and continued to pour the wine.

When Li Huiyuan came to the front, she slowly said: "His Royal Highness visited late at night, I don't know why?"

Her Highness the Princess herself hadn't spoken yet, but the maid beside her jumped out and said to Su Qinglang with airs: "Bold, don't be rude when you see the Princess!"

"Is it……"

Su Qinglang muttered something in a low voice, then put down the jug, clapped his hands, and from the nearby branches and flowers, several people dressed as guards rushed out immediately.

Holding steel knives one by one, they came to the front and threatened the maid. Seeing this, the maid widened her eyes and looked at Su Qinglang in disbelief: "You..."

But Su Qinglang picked up the cup in front of him, and took a sip leisurely: "You are Ping'er, right?"

This Ping'er was a newly promoted maid in the palace when Su Qinglang went to Qinzhou. She was quickly appreciated by Li Huiyuan because of her ability to do things, her neat means, and her ideas.

As soon as he arrived in the palace, he hadn't learned the rules yet, so he went smoothly all the way, and became a celebrity in front of His Royal Highness. He was inevitably arrogant and arrogant, and his whole body was so high that he was about to fly to the sky.

Although she knew that Su Qinglang was not an ordinary official, but she had always been abusive in the palace and was used to bullying others, so she treated Su Qinglang as an ordinary official. prestige.

Although threatened by the sword, but thinking that Her Highness the Princess is behind her, Ping'er collected herself, raised her chin and said, "Exactly..."

Just as the words finished, Su Qinglang said: "Put her down."

Seeing this, Ping'er became anxious, and while looking at Li Huiyuan, she said to Su Qinglang, "You...why do you treat me like this?"

Su Qinglang snorted coldly, and he stood up. Under the moonlight, Qingjun's face looked a little cold: "I have to enter the court, and no one dares to talk to me like this. Why do you ask me? I want to ask you first." Let me ask you, do you know what mistake you made?"

Xu Shi was startled by his momentum, Ping'er stared at him in a daze for a while, but didn't say a word.

Seeing Su Qinglang sneer slightly, he raised his eyebrows and said, "Don't dare to say, okay, then I'll tell you."

"As a court lady, I didn't take good care of the princess, but let her go out of the palace to take risks. This is a crime. If I found out that the princess was having an affair with someone and did something that would damage the royal face, I didn't stop it in time, and second, I didn't inform the emperor. Repeatedly, adding fuel to the flames, plotting against her, causing the princess to add to her mistakes, this is the second crime."

Since ancient times, a young lady in her boudoir met a young man who was in her youth, regardless of her parents and family, and instead of making a private decision for life, there was always a troublesome matchmaker in between.

This matchmaker has a big mouth and a long tongue, she is not a very good person, but she is full of flirtatious people, and in all likelihood, she is a servant girl who follows the young lady, instigating all the way to turn the beautiful peony flowers in the mansion into A branch of red apricot came out of the wall.

There is no news about the juggler, but Li Huiyuan can't go too far here.

Since he was determined to make the big stick for beating mandarin ducks, he naturally wanted to use the little maid first to make an example of others, so that Li Huiyuan would know how powerful she was.

He clasped his hands behind his back, dressed in bright Chinese clothes, with a faint white halo, and continued: "With your guilt, being in the palace is already a death penalty, and any more struggle is like a glass of poisoned wine, but you are unlucky today. It happened to me that I was in a bad mood today, so I made your death ugly. In the next life, remember to be smart. Some things should be said, and some things should be done. What should not be said and what should not be done, will sink in the heart, rot in the stomach, be careful."

After he finished speaking, the guards holding Ping'er were about to pull her down. Seeing this, Ping'er became anxious, and hurriedly looked to Li Huiyuan for help: "Princess, please save this servant..."

Li Huiyuan came to look for Su Qinglang today, and she was already afraid in her heart. Although she couldn't bear to see Su Qinglang wanting to kill Ping'er, she still didn't dare to speak out.

Seeing her hesitation, Ping'er hurriedly looked at Su Qinglang again: "Master Su, it's a slave who speaks cheap, and it's not good to be a slave..."

She struggled desperately a few times. The guards were afraid that they would kill her in front of Su Qinglang, so they let her break away, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed to Su Qinglang repeatedly: "Master Su has a lot of people, please help me!" Bypassing the servant girl this time, the servant girl will never dare to do it next time..."

However, Su Qinglang was determined this time, turned sideways and said coldly: "Pull it down!"

Seeing that he made a real move, Li Huiyuan also changed her face, and stood up and said, "Su Qinglang, my princess, you dare to move!"

Su Qinglang turned his head and looked at her with a sneer: "Your people? In the imperial palace and in the whole world, they are all the emperor's people. Where are the princess' people?"

Li Huiyuan was very angry with him, and pointed at him with a gloomy face: "You..."

I heard Su Qinglang say again: "Princess still feels that the treatment of this humble minister is unfair, so she wants to comment on it with the emperor?"

As soon as the emperor was mentioned, Li Huiyuan fell silent immediately, and could only watch helplessly as those people took Ping'er away. She stood there with her head down, and endured for a moment, then suddenly knelt down to Su Qinglang, with tears in her eyes, with He cried and said: "Brother Qinglang, I know I was wrong, this matter must not be let the father know..."

Su Qinglang turned his body sideways, turned and walked towards the stone table, and said slowly: "Princess, you'd better get up, you are the king, I am the minister, such a big gift, the humble minister can't afford it."

Seeing that he didn't agree, Li Huiyuan knelt forward two steps, and said again: "Brother Qinglang, you have always loved me the most. No matter what I said before, you can do it, and you will help me this time. right?"

Seeing her pleading anxiously, Su Qinglang snorted softly: "The princess doesn't seem to understand me very well. In the past, the reason why I loved you very much was because you were the princess of the Southern Tang Dynasty and a student of the Ichen. My sister is the same, as long as I don't overdo it and don't touch the bottom line, I can do it naturally, but..."

He smiled lightly, and then gradually restrained his smile, replaced by cold and decisive eyes: "If you dare to do things that harm Nantang and the emperor and prince, you must think carefully, you and your other him, Do you have the ability to bear my anger?"

Because the previous Su Qinglang had always been gentle and amiable to them, and had never been so indifferent and unfeeling, Li Huiyuan couldn't believe it for a while.

She looked at Su Qinglang for a while, and suddenly burst into tears: "I just fell in love with someone, what's wrong with me!"

"It's right to like someone and want to be with him, but if the time, place and character are wrong, everything is wrong."

Su Qinglang put his arms on the table, tapped his fingers, and said: "Princess, think about it for yourself, what is the current situation in Southern Tang Dynasty, what is the situation of the emperor and the prince? Today is the emperor's birthday, and envoys from various countries have come to visit, intending to get married There are also many alliances, if the emperor betroths you, then you will say that you have someone outside, so don't you need the emperor to worry about marriage?"

Hearing this, Li Huiyuan was stunned for a moment, and said anxiously: "You...you want me to marry you!"

Before Su Qinglang answered, she immediately stood up and shouted, "I don't want to!"

"What does your court and your alliance have anything to do with me? The Southern Tang Dynasty is so big and there are so many people. Do you have to sacrifice a little girl like me to protect it?"

Su Qinglang looked at her with crossed eyebrows: "It has nothing to do with you? Her Royal Highness lives in the palace, and is full of luxury and luxury all day long. Why didn't you say it had nothing to do with you back then?

The emperor raised you, pampered you, and gave you the fame and glory of being a princess. His Royal Highness is your elder brother and your future monarch. You say it has nothing to do with you? "

"Life in this world has its own responsibilities. Those soldiers guarding the battlefield, do your life and death have anything to do with them?

Those villagers working in the fields, does your quality have anything to do with them?However, they are still guarding the border, still guarding the ground, shedding blood and sweat, protecting your life, keeping your glory, what you wear on your body, what you use in the palace, can be your princess with peace of mind, and be safe with you The lovers' private meetings are all because of their sacrifices. You said, do these things have anything to do with you? "

Seeing that Li Huiyuan didn't speak, he said again: "Don't talk to me about love and love anymore. It's okay for a little girl like you to be deceived by these things. If this matter is normal, maybe I will fight for you." A fight, but absolutely not now.

People can be selfish, but they can't be selfish all the time. You are a princess, and you are born with power and wealth that others cannot match. Because of this, the burden on your shoulders is heavier. You should also grow up and stop messing around. "

Li Huiyuan lowered her head, sobbing and still did not answer. Seeing this, Su Qinglang sighed: "I said, you should think carefully. After returning to the palace, send someone to send the token back to His Highness the Crown Prince."

After Li Huiyuan left, he sat alone in the courtyard and drank in silence for a long time. After a long time, he saw the housekeeper hurried over and whispered in his ear: "My lord, I have found him, do you want to..."

"No need..."

Su Qinglang paused, and then said: "Send someone to watch first, and wait for my order to act."

The housekeeper let out a hey, looked up and saw the guards of Xiangfu came back, then shut his mouth and stepped aside.

Su Qinglang caught a glimpse of that person from the corner of his eye, and only after that person came to him did he ask, "Have you dealt with it?"

The man bowed and saluted, replied yes, and said again: "My son said, you should take care of your health, and don't get angry because of ignorant little children."

Su Qinglang nodded, and hummed: "You have worked hard, thank you young master for me, besides, the plum blossoms in my mansion are in bloom, I invite him to play chess in a few days."
