Chapter 777

The king looked back.

Xiao Heng smiles.

Too much laughter.

He switched state for a second, weak and pale, dying, as if unable to stand on his lips: "take care, too."

"Well." The monarch nodded his head in a complicated way, holding his hands behind him, and took Zhang Dequan and mammy with the little princess out of the Qilin hall.

……

Gu Jiao stayed in the intensive care unit until dawn.

In the middle of the night, she sat on a chair and went to sleep beside the bed. When she woke up, the master was no longer there.

The guard of two dead men was restored outside tiemenwai. When they saw Gu Jiao coming out, they didn't have much reaction, just like she and the monarch were able to get in and out of here freely.

"What did the master tell you?" Gu Jiao asked them.

One of them said: "the National Master said that there was no third person going in except him and Mr. Xiao."

Gu Jiao Oh, secretly muttered: "this is almost the same."

Xiao Heng opened the door of the room and came to Gu Jiao: "are you tired? I had people make porridge and have a drink. "

"Good." Gu Jiao walked to his room with him, "where's the clearance?"

The two dead men were just behind him. Xiao Heng said carefully, "he went to school. His sister came to pick him up."

This is to tell Gu Jiao, small clearance with Gu Chengfeng, all safety.

Gu Jiao put her heart down and went to Xiao Heng for a bowl of porridge.

In summer, though, she was physically exhausted and had a good appetite.

"Where's the little princess?" She asked.

Xiao Heng said: "I went back to the palace with the monarch. In addition, the monarch seems to have regained my mother's status as a princess."

Although Xiao Heng didn't go to court, the monarch himself called the third princess shangguanyan this morning. I don't think it's wrong.

Gu Jiao nodded with satisfaction: "good."

After paying such a high price, it's not just deposing the prince.

The first step is to restore the status of the imperial daughter, and the next step is to plan for the position of the grand daughter.

Mentioning this, Gu Jiao suddenly remembers the conversation with the national teacher in the intensive care unit in the middle of the night.

She took the handkerchief, wiped her mouth and said to Xiao Heng, "you don't have to find an excuse to go to the prince's residence. I already know who stabbed Gu Changqing. He is the aide of Princess Han. He is a very powerful expert. He is called dark soul in the Jianghu. "

"Dark soul?" Xiao Heng murmured.

It's a name that doesn't sound sharp.

"What did the master tell you?" He asked.

"Well." Gu Jiao nodded, "he also told me Han Wu Ye's secret, Han Wu Ye young white head is all because of poisoning premature aging, but also improve the ability."

Xiao Heng doubts: "premature aging? How to improve your skills? What kind of poison is it? "

Gu Jiao shook her head: "I don't know. I'll go back and ask Nanshi Niang. But I think Qi Xuan hasn't got rid of Han Ci's poison since he came to Han's house for so long. I'm afraid the origin of the poison is not simple. In addition, the foreign teacher mentioned a man. I don't know if he is longyi. "

At that time, the former Emperor left eight dragon shadow guards. The younger one was given to his majesty Zhao, and the older one to Princess Xinyang.

These dead men were all bought by the old king of Liang through the underground martial field. When they were bought, the two sides concluded a ten-year contract, and they were trained by special personnel according to the requirements of the former Emperor.

The Dragon shadow guards for Princess Xinyang are the first batch of dead soldiers. They have already trained almost. If they still need to go to the camp for training, maybe the dragon will be exposed early in the morning.

Sometimes life is full of coincidences.

Gu Jiao and Xiao Heng talk about killing heaven and dark soul.

Xiao Heng asked, "do you think longyi is killing heaven?"

Gu Jiao thought about it and said, "if only the National Master said that, I might not easily think of the dragon. But last time I saw a picture from the third floor in the library. The boy in the picture is very similar to the dragon."

Xiao Heng is silent.

Third floor.

The whole national palace, no, to be exact, the biggest secret of the whole Yan kingdom is there.

If the person in the picture is really dragon one, then dragon one is really too big.

……

A quarter of an hour later, Gu Jiao was taken to the third floor of the library by Ye Qing.

She was authorized by the national teacher to read a designated area, and the rest of the area could not be turned around.

Looking at the three meter high bookshelf in front of her, she said, "I'm just looking for the portrait of killing heaven. I don't need to be so ostentatious."

Is this bookshelf that occupies almost the whole wall all she can see?

Ye Qing pointed to the bookshelf and said, "there are pictures of killing heaven and dark souls in it."

Gu Jiao slightly surprised: "what do you mean?"

Ye Qing explained: "Heaven killing and dark soul never show their true colors. These are the portraits drawn by people who claim to have seen heaven killing and dark soul. My master collected them here."

Gu Jiao squeezed out a few words from her teeth: "this, so many... I have to see the monkey years and horses?"

Why don't I just draw it for you and you recognize it for me?

Ye Qing added: "we haven't seen killing heaven. You can only identify it by yourself."

I need a hammer.

So even if I see the portrait of longyi, you can't be sure that he is killing heaven, right?

……

Father son fratricidal is a scandal.

If this kind of thing happened to the emperor of Zhao state, the emperor of Zhao state would certainly adhere to the idea that family ugliness should not be publicized, suppress the news tightly, and then find individual reasons to send it to the prince.

As soon as he went to the court, he announced shangguanqi's evil intentions, slandering shangguanyan, killing his father and killing his king, and let Zhang Dequan publicly announce the imperial edict of abolishing the crown prince.

Together with the imperial edict of abolishing the crown prince, there was the imperial edict of restoring shangguanyan's Royal identity.

Since then, shangguanyan is the third princess of Dayan.

The court was filled with surprise.

Although we got the news last night, it really came from the Jinluan hall, which made Han Haosheng angry!

She was so angry that her chest would explode: "what kind of assassination! What slander! Pai Ming, who is called long Aotian, is the work of Shangguan Yan'an! Is your majesty an old fool? Why can't you even see such a flaw! "

She sent someone to the prince's mansion last night to learn all about the process of the prince's mansion in Longao heaven. All the traps are traps!

"Oh, madam, you can't say that nonsense!" The eunuch Xu Gao stepped forward in fright, "be careful to let people listen."

"This is the bedroom of our palace. Who dares to spread it out?"

"That's what I said, but you can be very careful."

Xu Gao went to the prince's residence to find out about long Aotian. To be honest, the third princess's move is really ingenious, and she thinks the king's mind is dead.

He has been in the palace for so many years, and few people can calculate the mind of the monarch.

Generally, it is the will of the monarch to punish or not to punish. Those who take advantage of the opportunity to make trouble for the victims are actually just the monarch's blind eye, which does not count how clever they are.

Xu Gao said: "Niang Niang, behind the three princesses, I'm afraid there are some experts to guide."

Han Guifei thought deeply: "it's reasonable for you to say so. My palace watched shangguanyan grow up. She was a straight hearted woman and didn't have much heart. Otherwise, she would not have been calculated that year. "

Xu Gao said quickly, "isn't it, madam? Why should she wait until now? As soon as I got back to Shengdu, I competed with the second Royal Highness for the position of crown prince. And the emperor's eldest grandson's temperament is different from that of the past. It's fair to say that one person has changed, but both of them have changed at the same time. Who can believe it if there is not an expert behind it? "

Han Guifei said coldly: "we must find out the expert behind them! I'd like to see who ate the bear heart and the leopard's gall to fight against this palace! "

Xu Gao said with a smile: "don't worry, our people have been sent to the National Palace."

Han Guifei smiles: "Oh? So fast? There won't be any flaws, will there? "

Xu Gao laughed and said, "it's all selected by Zhang Dequan himself. He's a confidant. Even if we look up the eighteen generations of our ancestors, it's none of our business."

Han Guifei said coldly: "it's time to use the chess pieces that have been buried for so many years. I intended to use them in more important places. But who can make shangguanyan and her son so annoying? Let's borrow father-in-law Zhang's hand to shovel away these two eyesores for our palace!"

Xu Gao flatters: "the lady is wise!"

Han Guifei has begun to imagine the fruits after the victory: "after the success... Who is better to plant it for? The palace looks at Wang Xian's concubine not bad, so does Dong Chen's concubine. "

She said, laughing wildly.

On the other side, Zhang Dequan took four palace people to the National Palace.

Gu Jiao has gone to the library. Only Xiao Heng is in shangguanyan's room.

Zhang Dequan saluted Xiao Heng on the seat: "Your Highness, there are some palace people selected by the slaves outside. They are quick, hardworking and smart. Let them serve the third princess and your highness first. Your highness, please rest assured that their backgrounds are very clean. "

"I see." Xiao Heng said.

Zhang Dequan said with a smile: "if there is no command, I will go back to the Palace first."

Xiao Heng nodded.

After Zhang Dequan left, Xiao Heng opened the curtain and looked at shangguanyan, who was sitting cross legged on the bed, holding half a watermelon and eating it with a spoon: "can Zhang Dequan be trusted?"

Shangguanyan ate a spoonful of watermelon balls: "Oh, he is not bad."

Xiao Heng said: "so, can those people stay outside?"

Shangguanyan thought, "keep it first. Zhang Dequan is the only one in the palace who won't harm me."

……

Lingbo Academy.

A carriage stopped in the alley diagonally opposite it.

This lane was originally used to park carriages for college students. Because this carriage came first, it occupied the first place.

Here, the coachman's task was completed, and the old sacrificial wine settled the fare for him.

The driver left with his reward.

The old sacrificial wine and Empress Dowager Zhuang were waiting in the carriage.

"Are you sure you're waiting here?" Asked empress dowager Zhuang.

The old toaster said, "Jingkong is in Lingbo Academy. After a while, he will go to school. Ah Heng will come to pick him up. Jiao Jiao will come if ah Heng doesn't come."

The summer of Yan is hotter than that of Zhao. In addition, the weather is very hot today, so the carriage is baked into a steamer soon.

Empress Dowager Zhuang became a steamed shrimp, sweating like rain.

She leaned against the wall of the car lovelessly: "didn't it rain at night? Why didn't it cool for a long time and get hot again? "

Lao Jijiu took a fan to fan her, and he was also sweating: "Yan Guo is really hot, and I don't know if several children can stand it."

Empress Dowager Zhuang had no strength to speak. She felt that she was in the heat, and she collapsed on her seat like a shrimp.

Seeing that she was so hot, the old sacrificial wine couldn't bear to say, "next to the tea shop, go to the tea shop and have a cup of tea. I'll just wait here."

Empress Dowager Zhuang glared at him and said feebly, "you don't need silver for tea?"

The price of the state of Yan is so expensive that the money brought by a few children must not be enough. She has to save it.

Of course, there is also a very important reason. She wants to see Jiaojiao for the first time.

Although it is not necessarily Jiaojiao who comes to pick up the clearance.

They were so hot from morning till afternoon that they lost their temper.

Finally, Lingbo college began to finish school, and students in uniform came out of the college with high spirits.

Empress Dowager Zhuang was eager to see through: "why didn't you see a child? Do you want to know if the children prodigy class is over? "

The old man went to sacrifice wine.

However, since the little princess was hijacked near the Academy, the Academy's vigilance level has increased a lot, and they are on guard against strangers who come to inquire about information, especially about the children prodigy class.

The guard said in a shrill voice: "don't ask about the academy! If you don't leave, I'll report to the official and arrest you! "

There are more patrol officers around.

He wanted to say that he was a student's family, but he looked down at his shabby clothes and swallowed what he said.

All the way, in order not to be missed by the thieves, they were all dressed very poor, with the most simple clothes and the most worn carriage.

As soon as he turned around, he heard the guard and his companions say, "keep an eye on the old man."

Old wine mouth a smoke, he was a thief?

What happened to the Academy of Yan!

Did not ask for information, can only honestly and so on: "you rest assured, I inquired in the inn, only this door can walk after school, clearance will come out from inside."

"Don't interrupt, go to the side!" Empress Dowager Zhuang opened his face mercilessly and stared at the gate of Lingbo Academy.

Finally, a ten-year-old child came out.

Her eyes lit up: "the children prodigy class is over!"

The prodigy class is over.

But xiaojingkong and Xiaojun are always the two slowest ones. They received the book and LV Fuzi doubted life.

The little princess said to the little classmate: "clear space, you go to my house today to play!"

"Where is your home?" asked Xiao Jingkong

"Well... There it is!" The little princess pointed to the direction of the palace, "I've been to you so many times, and you haven't been to my house yet!"

I think that's the truth.

"OK, but I'm going to talk to Mr. Cheng."

He has a tutor for Cheng after school today.

But in his opinion, tutor can ask for leave, anyway, he did not want to go.

Two peas put on their schoolbags and went to Master Cheng to ask for leave.

The little princess crossed her waist and looked at Master Cheng, who did not dare to agree.

"Just now someone was asking when the child prodigy class would be over. I don't know if another thief was thinking about the princess? For safety's sake, we'll go directly to the academy to meet the little princess. "

"Yes

An ordinary looking but luxurious carriage with the privileges granted by the monarch drove into Lingbo academy and stopped directly at the door of the child prodigy class.

The four experts in the inner circle are lined up.

Mammy stepped out of the carriage and took the little princess's book bag: "little master, it's time for us to go back."

The little princess said, "today I'm going to invite Jingkong to my home to play."

Milk mammy smile: "little childe's family has no opinion, naturally can."

"No problem, no problem." Xiaojingkong is her own master.

Anyway, it's not bad brother-in-law. Brother Chengfeng can't control him.

Two peas got into the carriage.

Two of the four masters sat in the carriage, and the other two were escorted on both sides.

The old sacrificial wine looks around the alley.

The carriage passed him by.

Half an hour later, the last student came out of Lingbo college, and the guards of Lingbo college began to close the door.

The old sacrificial wine was surprised: "ah! What happened? Why is it closed? " He looked back at empress dowager Zhuang in the carriage and said, "did you just come out of the empty space? Do you see that? "

"It didn't come out." Said empress dowager Zhuang.

She is old, but not to the point of old eyes, she is very sure that she did not miss.

The old toaster said suspiciously, "didn't Jingkong go to school today? Can't it be that they didn't come to Lingbo academy? What happened to them? They... "

"Shut up!" said the Empress Dowager

The old toaster gasped bitterly.

After a sultry day, dark clouds began to roll and it seemed that it was going to rain.

Old wine said: "or, first find an inn to stay, come back tomorrow."

Empress Dowager Zhuang said: "the door has not been closed, there is a crack left, and so on."

The smell of fried meat with garlic sprouts came from the restaurant next door, and the old sacrificial wine was hungry. Then he remembered that they were just waiting for people and had not eaten all day.

He's hungry. Zhuang Jinse is so greedy that he doesn't want to be any better.

"I'll get something to eat." As he spoke, he touched his shriveled purse, coughed and said to empress dowager Zhuang, "I've run out of money."

It was all his money all the way.

Empress Dowager Zhuang held the burden in her arms warily: "to Jiao Jiao!"

You can't spend a cent!

The old man had no choice but to take out his pocket. Finally, he found two pieces of coins in the broken interlayer of his sleeve.

He was lucky. On weekdays, he could only buy one steamed bread with two coins. Today it was going to rain. The boss was in a hurry to close the stall and gave the last two steamed bread to Lao Jijiu.

The old sacrificial wine gave the bigger one to empress dowager Zhuang.

The heavy rain in Shengdu is coming soon.

The sky was torn a hole, the heavy rain can't wait to drift down, mixed with the roaring wind, the roadside stalls were blown over!

The old toaster held the remaining half of the steamed bread in his mouth and quickly tightened the window and put down the curtain.

However, the weather was so bad that the curtain of the car snapped off and the storm poured in mercilessly towards the carriage.

Lao Jijiu stood up in a hurry, intending to block the wind and rain with his thin body. He clasped the door frame with both hands, but unexpectedly, the roof of the carriage was blown away.

The old sacrificial wine was drenched so that he couldn't open his eyes. He went to grab an umbrella and wanted to open it to block the rain for Empress Dowager Zhuang. But the umbrella didn't open. He was blown to the ground first.

"It can't go on like this! We have to find a place to shelter from the rain He wiped the rain on his face, tried to open his eyes and reached out to empress dowager Zhuang, "come down quickly! I got you

It is very dangerous for two elderly people to be exposed to this extreme weather. If they are not careful, they may fall down and never get up again.

Empress Dowager Zhuang couldn't open her eyes for a long time. Naturally, she couldn't see his hand. She held the burden in her arms with one hand and grasped the wall of the carriage with the other hand, and moved down step by step.

She slipped and the powerful empress dowager of Zhaoguo sat in a puddle.

"Are you all right?" the old man asked aloud

Empress Dowager Zhuang protected the burden in her arms: "it's OK."

She tried to stand up, but several times she fell back.

It took a lot of effort for the old wine maker to get near her. The old wine maker reached out and grabbed her arm.

He had just pulled empress dowager Zhuang up, but before he could stand still, they both fell to the ground.

At this time, a beggar in his early twenties suddenly rushed from behind them, grabbed the burden from empress dowager Zhuang and ran away!

"Money

Empress Dowager Zhuang's eyes are cool!

That's the silver for Jiaojiao. She saved money all the way and didn't spend any money. As a result, she was robbed by a thief?

Empress Dowager Zhuang is angry!

She didn't know where her strength came from. She didn't care about the bruises and bruises. She picked up the stick on the ground and threw it at the little beggar!

"Ouch --"

The little beggar was hit by a stick and fell down in the rain.

Empress Dowager Zhuang, taking the steps of the old lady to chase out the unfilial grandson, angrily came to the young beggar, picked up the stick on the ground again and beat the beggar!

"I'll let you rob my family!"

"Let you rob Jiao Jiao's silver!"

"Let you sneak around!"

"Let's get you out of business!"

It's raining heavily. Empress dowager Zhuang's words are in Zhaoguo dialect again in her anger. The beggar doesn't understand a word, but his stick is very clear.

"Ouch! Stop fighting! Stop fighting! return to you! Can't I give it back to you! You dead woman, why are you so strong! "

The beggar is about to be beaten to the head of a pig.

How could he expect a little old lady who fell down and couldn't get up to beat people so hard?

It's too heavy!

Empress Dowager Zhuang went down again with a stick and nearly lost his thousands of children. The beggar trembled and looked at the stick that fell between his legs.

If the stick goes half an inch further, he will - he will——

He looked at the old lady in front of him and saw that the other side's eyes were full of the powerful murderous spirit of the superior. He felt afraid from the bottom of his heart.

He didn't even dare to be slippery. He threw the burden at the old lady and took advantage of the gap when the old lady went to pick up the burden and ran away.

The burden was scattered, the silver spindle fell to the ground, and the bank note was blown out by the strong wind, and it was everywhere in the alley.

Empress Dowager Zhuang squatted down to pick up the silver note.

The old sacrificial wine just sprained his feet and limped over after a long time. When he looked at the Empress Dowager Zhuang squatting on the ground to collect silver and banknotes, he suddenly had mixed feelings.

She is the daughter of the dealer. She was born to be a queen. When she entered the palace, she became the Empress Dowager.

She has been standing in the clouds all her life. She has never bent down to pick up things from the ground, let alone a stack of banknotes. Even if valuable antiques fall on the ground, she never looks at them more.

But for now, she is——

He opened his mouth: "Zhuang Jinse..."

Empress Dowager Zhuang picked up a banknote floating into the sewage pit, wiped it on her sleeve and kicked it back into her pocket: "when she first came to the countryside, her family was not rich. Jiaojiao had to go to the mountains to dig wild vegetables and pick mountain goods before dawn every day and sell them in the market. In order to get the money for the two coppers left, she walked more than ten miles with heavy mountain goods on her back

"At that time, she was only 14 years old. She was reluctant to eat a bowl of hot noodle soup outside. In winter, she only ate a hard cold steamed bread in the market. But LIULANG's bundle of silver she did not short, the family's meat and vegetables she did not lack, she did not eat, left LIULANG and Xiaoshun and AI family to eat. Later, the little monk came, and she spared no effort to buy all the things that should be bought for him. She only bought a pair of cloth shoes for herself, and she was still with LIULANG. "

The old man was shocked.

Empress Dowager Zhuang dropped her eyes and said, "if the silver is not enough, she will always only short her own... I don't want to suffer any more. I don't want to suffer any more."

The eyes of the old sacrificial wine were slightly red. I didn't know whether it was for Gu Jiao or for Zhuang Jinse.

He squatted down and said, "I'll pick it up with you."

Both of them squatted on the ground and quietly picked up the bank note which was wet by the rain.

Empress Dowager Zhuang picked it up and suddenly felt that someone was coming.

She moved forward to block the bank notes in the puddle in front of her.

A young man in a coir raincoat, a hat and a red tassel gun entered the alley from behind her.

Empress Dowager Zhuang didn't care too much, so she continued to pick up the bank notes.

The boy walked past her.

At the end of the lane, the boy's steps suddenly stopped.

There are only the last few banknotes left. It seems that more and more people are coming to the alley. Empress dowager Zhuang speeds up the process of collecting banknotes.

All of a sudden, a familiar voice came from behind her: "aunt?"
