Chapter 42

Xiansheng fell asleep, but this night he had a nightmare.

He dreamed that Zhan Zhen went to the Qinlou, found a little white in a girl, came back and began to torture him with punishment. Then, his brother, who just came to Beijing, was put into prison. In order to torture him, Zhan Zhen killed his brother in front of him.

"Sheng er?" He was awakened, his forehead was wet with cold sweat, and he was in a trance for a while.

Zhan Zhen wiped his face and said, "have you had a nightmare?"

"Well..." When Xiansheng is sober, he can control his emotions. Looking at Zhan Zhen's gentle eyebrows, it's hard to imagine what it would be like for him to raise his butcher's knife one day.

The night color pasted the heart, the salty Sheng slowly rubs to come over, buries the face into his bosom. Zhan Zhen felt soft in his heart and felt sorry for his rare vulnerability, but he was happy because of his dependence. He touched Xiansheng's head and gently hugged him: "don't be afraid. If you have a nightmare in the future, you will take Gu in. Gu will protect sheng'er well."

Xiansheng because of his words and feel funny, dream where there is so easy to say with whom to take who?

But he still soft promised: "good."

There was nothing to say for a night. The next morning, when Xiansheng woke up, he suddenly heard the sound of a sword cutting across the air.

He opened the bed curtain, put on his shoes, and raised his eyes to see Zhan Zhen playing with a long sword. When he woke up, he said, "I picked it up from the Qinlou building yesterday. Come and have a look."

"I don't know much about that." Xiansheng poured himself a glass of water to moisten his throat, then walked towards him and asked, "how long have you been up?"

"Gudu has come back from practicing Dao." Zhan Zhen handed the sword over, and Xiansheng stretched out his hand, but he shrunk: "it's a little heavy. Put it on the table."

Xiansheng sat down and touched it carefully. He felt that the sword was white, but it was cold. He should drink blood frequently. He speculated: "this sword should have a good name."

"Mori Bai." Zhan Zhen said, "have you ever heard of it?"

Xiansheng shook his head and said, "I've been growing up in the deep palace all the year round, and I don't know anything about the world."

"This is he ermian's sword." Zhan Zhen's tone is light, but his eyes are deep. Xiansheng raised his eyes to see him, and suddenly understood who he was going to catch yesterday. He gathered his mind and said curiously, "have you sealed up Qin Yi's dens?"

"He's very cautious. He's only exposed one place so far. It's the last time you were taken away."

"You're going to kill him?"

"Your elder brother is about to arrive in Shangjing. In order to prevent them from meeting in private, it's better to start first."

"If they really meet in private, don't you catch them?"

Four eyes are opposite, Zhan Zhen holds cheek, way: "if so, your elder brother is afraid to also want to be implicated."

"Brother and Qin Yi are not compatible, and now the overall situation has been decided, he will not join hands with Qin Yi."

Zhanzhen looks at Xiansheng quietly, and the latter looks at him directly. Zhanzhen suddenly reaches out his hand and touches his cheek. There are some traces of the place he bit yesterday. He says, "does the princess really think that the overall situation is settled?"

Xiansheng's expression did not change, but he quickly understood what he had not said. If Xiansheng is calm, then the marriage between the two countries can really determine the overall situation. Xianshang will not rashly join hands with Qin Yi to fight against Dajin. But if Xiansheng has a secret and conceals the secret from Dajin, then Dajin, who is covetous and may be angry at any time because of his secret, and Qin Yi, who is in the Liang Dynasty and admires Xiansheng, will probably choose to join hands with Qin Yi Hand, smooth this out before you tear it down.

No matter how to wipe it, Zhan Zhen has now noticed that he will definitely respond to it.

He has to make sure whether his wife has secrets before he comes to Beijing, which will determine how he treats the merchants who come to visit his relatives.

How clever Zhan Zhen is! In his heart, Xian Sheng sighs that he has driven himself to a desperate situation in just two words, suggesting that he has come to the time of honest confrontation. He is testing and pressing step by step, but it gives him the illusion that he still cares about his love.

But how can Xiansheng take the initiative to confess? If he says it now, the elder brother thinks that visiting relatives is going to the end of the world. But at this point, it's not easy for Xiansheng to persuade him to come back. That's tantamount to admitting his secret in disguise.

Xiansheng suddenly side head, dodged his hand, make the expression of displeasure: "I now have all my own with you, you still say these words?"

Zhan Zhen drew back his hand and was stunned for a moment. Every time Xiansheng retorts, he feels that he is wrong, so he has to say, "it's a lonely mistake. Let's eat something first."

Xiansheng eats as little as ever. After eating, he falls on the reclining chair, but suddenly someone comes to the palace and shouts Zhan Zhen.

Zhan Zhen put on his cloak and said to him, "I think it's because of yesterday's Qinlou affair. My father has something to ask."

"Be careful on the way." Xiansheng didn't move. He was tired physically and mentally, but he still had to hold on, and his voice was weak.

He was depressed, which made him obviously depressed. Hearing Zhan Zhen leave, he slowly closes his eyes and is at a loss.

The footsteps left, but suddenly turned back. Xiansheng subconsciously opened his eyes. The reclining chair under him was shaking because of Zhan Zhen's support. He was at a loss: "how suddenly, eh..."When his lips were kissing, Zhan Zhen left gasping and said in a low voice, "to tell you the truth, did you go to send a letter to Qin Yi yesterday?"

Xiansheng blinked, as if he was suddenly injected with a breath and lived for a short time: "No."

He had a clear conscience about it. "What did I do in the prince's mansion? I'm afraid you know better than me, Zhan Zhen I didn't deliberately get any information around you. I'm not a fool. You even let me into your study. Once anything happens, the first suspect must be me. Do you think I will be fooled by such a trap? "

Zhan Zhen's breath calmed down, and he said, "I believe you alone."

Then he gave him a kiss, coaxed: "don't be unhappy, lonely look heartache."

After looking at him for a while, Xiansheng slowly lowered his eyelashes and said in a soft voice, "well."

Zhan Zhen stroked his cheek. When he got up and left, Xiansheng suddenly asked, "how long will my brother be here?"

"About early February."

At least half a month.

In addition to meeting Zhan Zhen today, the emperor of Jin also announced Zhan Jin, probably to ask him how he was under Jiang Qin's hands. In order to prevent him from being seen by the emperor of Jin, Zhan Jin put on a little white, barely able to see the characteristics of a girl's family.

If Zhan Zhen was a sharp blade hanging over his head, then the emperor of Jin was a chopper that he had to deal with carefully.

He followed Jiang Qin into the palace, but suddenly heard someone shouting: "ah Jin!"

Raising his eyes, his face suddenly tightened. Seeing his expression, Jiang Qin looked at Qingrong smiling and said, "I've seen the princess."

"I have a few words to say when I come to ah Jin." Qingrong's eyes are gentle, Zhan Jin's lips are pursed, and there is obvious reluctance in her eyes. Before she opens her mouth, Jiang Qin has said: "Your Majesty has announced me and me. I think there is something urgent. If the princess has something to do, you might as well wait to come out."

He wanted to help, but Qingrong said with a smile: "the prince hasn't come yet. The young general is worried It doesn't matter. If ah Jin doesn't mind, it doesn't matter if I say it here. It's just a few words. "

Jiang Qin is waiting for reaction, Zhan Jin has said: "let's go there and say."

He can only stop in situ waiting, frowning at Zhan Jin.

Qingrong follows Zhan Jin to a remote place, turns to see Jiang Qin's expression, and suddenly smiles: "it seems that the young general's heart is on you."

Zhanjin light way: "something might as well say."

Qingrong's eyes fell on his raised chest and covered his lips with a smile: "what are you?"

Zhan Jin looked at her coldly, Qingrong slightly restrained, and said: "Why are you so unhappy every time you see me? Ah Jin, I've worked hard to keep a secret for you. If your majesty knows that you've bullied you, even if you don't kill you for the sake of your flesh and blood, you will be driven out of Dadu. How can you avenge your mother and concubine then? "

Zhan Jin tightened her fingers and said slowly, "what do you want me to do?"

"Will Xiansheng be like you Wearing a fake

"Don't be obsessed. Uncle Huang said that she is a woman. Besides, the prince and she are married. Can't he tell the difference between a man and a woman?"

Qingrong droops her eyes. In fact, she knows in her heart that it's impossible. If there was not a Zhan Jin around, she would not think so much. Maybe because she hates Xiansheng too much, she always hopes that he can have more mistakes.

She threw this idea out of her mind and said, "Your Majesty announced the prince today, and will definitely ask Qin Yi about the progress of the matter. I have a way, maybe I can lead him out."

"Qin Yi is not so easy to grasp."

"Xiansheng is the best bait." Regardless of Zhan Jin's complicated expression, Qingrong said, "if your majesty asks, you will find a chance to take Xiansheng as bait. Qin Yi will come out."

Her eyes were burning, but Zhan Jin was silent. At this moment, Jiang Qin's voice suddenly came: "see your Highness the prince!"

Zhan Zhen also surprised him with this shout, "what are you doing so loudly?"

When he finished, he found that Jiang Qin motioned, and turned to see Qingrong and Zhan Jin saluting toward this side. He raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "go to see your father quickly."

He stepped forward, Jiang Qin first step to catch up, Zhan Jin also immediately trot after.

The emperor of Jin was trying his arrow. When he heard someone's notice, he put down his bow and arrow. He wiped his hand and said, "it's still not good to hit the arrow this time. We still need better weapons, which can play a powerful role in the hands of ordinary soldiers."

He sat down and asked Zhan Zhen directly, "what happened to the hand gun you made last time?"

"The range is too close, not yet."

They chatted casually, and the emperor of Jin's eyes fell on Zhan Jin, a little surprised: "ah Jin is so tall, how about under Jiang Qin? Can you adapt? "

"Lao and Huang are concerned about it. Everything is fine."

The emperor of Jin also asked Jiang Qin a few words. When he praised Zhan Jin, he laughed. His face was full of glory. Zhan Jin couldn't help raising her lips and was a little happy.

The topic soon turned to yesterday's Qinlou affair. He looked a little more serious and asked Zhan Zhen, "is there any relationship between Qin Yi and Xiansheng?""No Zhan Zhen didn't hesitate: "she didn't go out of the gate. She didn't have a chance to get in touch with it."

"What about the two liang people in her hands?"

"The people they came into contact with have also been investigated. Most of them were from the government. They were innocent. Moreover, Xiansheng didn't care about these things. He went to the Qinlou building yesterday All because the children minister lingers in the flower building before, she ate to taste

Emperor Jin's face softened and he began to laugh again: "well, she is also a smart child. If she can carry it clearly, she will be a good daughter-in-law in the future You have such a lovely wife in your arms. Why go to such a place? "

"The Qin tower is a mixture of good and bad, and the children's officials are also going to do business."

"What's your plan for catching Qin Yi?"

Zhan Jin's eyelashes trembled, and the emperor of Jin immediately asked, "does ah Jin have something to say?"

"No..." Zhan Jin weighing for a while, said: "I have no good way."

"Where's Jiang Qin?"

Jiang Qin arched his hand and said, "we have discussed the best way. Qin Yi is too cautious. Unless he takes the crown princess as bait, he will never act rashly. However, this matter is too dangerous and the crown prince has rejected it."

When the emperor of Jin looked at Zhan Zhen and thought of his daughter-in-law's beautiful face, he suddenly understood that if he could not protect her properly, he might hurt the royal face. He sighed, asked some questions about the barracks, and let them leave after intermission.

Zhan Zhen and Jiang Qin walked ahead and said to Zhan Jin, "when you come to the palace, go and see the empress."

"Well." Zhan Jin promised and left. Zhan Zhen watched his back disappear and asked Jiang Qin, "what's different about her around you?"

"Ah?" Jiang Qin recalled for a moment, wondering: "what can be different?"

"It's strange to see her alone."

"She's your sister. How can you say that?"

Zhan Zhen said, "let her come to the prince's mansion in the afternoon. She said she had something to look for him."

Jiang Qin paused, frowned, and said softly, "what's going on?"

"What are you worried about since you haven't noticed the difference?"

Zhan Zhen looked at it faintly. Jiang Qin felt as if he had become a transparent man for a moment. He said frankly: "it's really strange, but I can't tell Just thinking, if it doesn't hurt, it's better to let her go. Who can have no difficulty

"Connivance is not necessarily for her good."

He did not say yes, Jiang Qin was a little anxious: "if the princess has something innocuous to hide from you, do you want to get to the bottom of it?"

Zhan Zhen stopped and his eyes turned dark. Jiang Qin then said, "if she doesn't have a bad heart, if she has to, if she is full of grievances, do you want to be aggressive like this?"

"How dare you say you are alone and aggressive?"

“…… I'm just giving an example. " Jiang Qin said, "if you regard her as the crown princess, will you pursue her secret so persistently?"

Zhan Zhen subconsciously stroked his chest. Now the hairpin was lying in his arms. He touched the lines on it many times. He didn't have to look at it to remember its appearance. He remembered that it had been taken off from the ink splashed green silk. He remembered that the black hair was loose and poured down on the pillow.

He always thought that Xiansheng was elegant and elegant. When he didn't use powder and Dai, it matched jade very well. Of course, if he had makeup, it would be rare in the world to match gold, silver and jewelry.

In his heart, the hairpin was a token of love. At first he felt happy, but recently he did not dare to see it.

"Your Highness?" Jiang Qin peeped out something from his expression and said tentatively, "is there anything strange about the crown princess?"

Zhan Zhen said coldly, "she can learn from the sun and the moon for her lonely heart. She is also jealous of herself and tries hard to please her lonely heart. If it's strange, it's too clingy. She always wants to be alone and spoil her, but women's extravagance is normal. What's so strange?"

"Oh." Jiang Qin, a partial capital of the Ministry, nodded and echoed: "Your Highness has a point."
