Wenpo's simple words sounded like thunder on the ground, causing the guards all around to look at each other in blank dismay. No one expected to find out such a result.
King Zhennan's eyes were wide open, and he couldn't believe his ears.
Only Xiao Yi and Guan Yubai didn't show a trace of surprise on their faces. As early as today when they deduced that Li Liangyi was Aunt Mei's internal response, they guessed that the "meat" in Aunt Mei's belly was very likely. ** is fraudulent.
This pregnancy was really a coincidence!
If Aunt Mei was not pregnant, then even why she risked a miscarriage into the water to save Xiao Rongyu, the concubine's daughter, would become understandable. First, it could be exchanged for Zhennan King's favor; second, She can also justifiably summon a good doctor to check her pulse and let the good news spread; thirdly, she can use her pregnancy to do something to make the "provocation" more logical...
King Zhennan's face was blue and white for a while, and he didn't react for a while.
Xiao Yi is not a considerate person, so he said with a smile: "It seems that Laozi is not so good."
In an instant, Zhennan Wang's face was flushed red, and his breath was stuck in his throat, and he was so angry that he almost vomited out a mouthful of old blood.
I was fooled by an aunt!
But this rebellious son's words and deeds are really too irritating!
The veins on King Zhennan's forehead throbbed endlessly, and he didn't know whether he was angry with Aunt Mei or Xiao Yi.
At this moment, he has no sympathy for Aunt Mei in the carriage, even Aunt Mei represents a shame to him, and this shame is exposed in front of Guan Yubai and the guards of the palace.
King Zhennan clenched his fists in humiliation, and said to the official with a slightly stiff tone: "Master Hou, the family is unfortunate, I really make you laugh."
There was a faint smile on the corner of Guan Yubai's mouth, as warm and gentle as the silver moonlight in the night sky.
"My lord, people's hearts are unpredictable. My lord treats people with sincerity and magnanimity, but there is an old saying: 'Prevent a gentleman but not a villain'. A villain will use any means to achieve his goal. It is really impossible to guard against." Guan Yubai gently explained Zhennan Wang , the tone is as kind as a junior, "Besides, the prince is not a doctor..."
Yes, I am not a doctor! Zhennan Wang felt that An Yihou really won his heart, and he said every word from his heart, and he suddenly felt much more comfortable in his heart.
After calming down for a while, Zhennan Wang Rui narrowed his eyes and thought of something. I am not a doctor, but there are doctors in the palace! Aunt Mei's happy pulse was clearly diagnosed by doctor Xu Liang in the palace. Now, Aunt Mei's belly is empty, so how did doctor Xu Liang diagnose her pulse!
Thinking about it, Zhennan Wang released a gloomy breath, and ordered in a cold voice: "Come on, bring Dr. Xu Liang here immediately for this king."
Several guards of the royal residence led away, and the sound of horseshoes quickly went away...
Xiao Yi watched coldly from the sidelines, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
Haha, Xiaobai's ability to talk to people and talk to people is getting better!
Xiao Yi casually pulled out a foxtail, grabbed it and played with it.
Anyway, there was Guan Yubai to deal with King Zhennan, he let his mind drift away leisurely, thinking: I don't know if his stinky girl is having dinner yet? Hey, he could obviously enjoy the prey he hunted with her, and then rest leisurely with his stinky girl in his arms... It's all because of that Carrero, he insisted on causing trouble for himself!
A sharp light flashed in Xiao Yi's eyes as he looked at the peach blossoms in the night sky, and recorded this account!
Zhu Xing had expected that this night would be slow for a long time, so he ordered a few guards to remove the three chairs from the green-covered carriage, and gave Zhennan Wang, Xiao Yi and Guan Yubai a rest.
As time passed, Xiao Yi was very leisurely, chatting about horses with Guan Yubai for a while, talking about eagles for a while, and talking about today's spring hunting...
Half an hour later, there was a faint sound of horseshoes coming from the direction of Luoyue City. A guard went to check, and after a while, he came back and raised his voice to report: "My lord, Chief Guard He is back."
Zhennan Wang, who was already a bit tired, suddenly cheered up, and couldn't wait to interrogate this evil slave who betrayed his master.
Soon, Doctor Xu Liang was escorted to King Zhennan and Xiao Yi, kneeling on the stone-filled official road with a limp knee, his face was so pale that there was no trace of blood, like a dead person.
From the moment Guard Chief He broke in with a few guards, Doctor Xu Liang knew that he was doomed. Even if the other party didn't say anything, but those who come are not kind, and those who are kind don't come, from the moment he was coerced by Aunt Mei, he knew that he was like walking on the edge of a cliff, as long as a breeze blows, he might fall. go down...
King Zhennan glared at Doctor Xu Liang, and asked coldly, "Are you convicted?"
Xu Liangyi's forehead hit the ground with a "boom", his body trembled, he wanted to do it but hesitated, in case he was cheated.
Zhennan Wang was extremely angry, but instead sneered, if he had something in his hand, he would have smashed it by now.
He also didn't bother to go around in circles with this unreasonable slave, and said directly: "You colluded with Aunt Mei to deceive the king, and now you still refuse to recruit?!"
Xu Liangyi's heart sank to the bottom in an instant: It's over! The prince really knew.
He glanced at the black-painted flat-topped carriage, and thought: Could it be that Aunt Mei is in it? Could it be...
He couldn't think about it any further, so he could only let go of his confession: "My lord, the younger one was forced by Aunt Mei. It was Aunt Mei who made the younger one lie and claim that she was pregnant."
Even if King Zhennan knew about this a long time ago, at the moment Xu Liangyi admitted, he still felt that he was slapped twice by that lowly maidservant and this slave in front of him, and his face was wet. Spicy and raw.
"So, you are innocent?" Zhennan Wang gritted his molars and said sarcastically, "I would like to ask, since Aunt Mei is not pregnant, what do you want to do in the future? Is it possible that you still think about it?" Buy another stable woman, bring a bastard over here and pretend to be the son of the king?!"
Thinking of this possibility, King Zhennan almost felt disgusted by being cuckolded.
Doctor Xu Liang was so frightened that he trembled like chaff, and tremblingly said: "My lord, the little ones don't dare, the young ones definitely don't dare. Aunt Mei... She said that when the right time comes, she will pretend to have a miscarriage ..." Dr. Xu Liang swallowed, not daring to continue.
King Zhennan was so angry that he almost couldn't catch his breath, Diao Nu, really Diao Nu!
Xiao Yi curled his lips at the side, and suddenly said with some impatience, "Doctor Xu Liang, after talking so much, why didn't you say how Aunt Mei forced you?"
In an instant, Xu Liangyi's face on the ground became even paler, and his body stiffened as if frozen.
Zhennan Wang raised his eyebrows thoughtfully, he was almost fooled by Dr. Xu Liang, and said angrily, "You still don't say it?!"
Xu Liangyi lowered his body even lower, moved his lips for a long time, and finally said vaguely: "Small, small..."
Xiao Yi leaned lazily on the back of the chair, looked at him coldly, and said casually: "Aunt Mei has already recruited, do you want her to come out and confront you?"
The back of Dr. Xu Liang's neck was drenched with sweat. He couldn't help but glanced at the carriage again. He was in a dilemma. Could it be that Aunt Mei really recruited
Xiao Yi continued casually: "Aunt Mei said that she had no choice but to be coerced by you into doing something wrong..."
"Nonsense, she is the one who spitting blood!" Doctor Xu Liang trembled violently in fright, raised his head abruptly, and blurted out, "Obviously Aunt Mei caught the little one's mistakes many years ago and forced the little one to give her a hand. Passing the news..." At this point, he suddenly realized that something was wrong, and quickly shut up, his face pale.
"Where to send the news?!" Zhennan Wang frowned, showing suspicion. Why would an aunt send the news to the outside? Isn't Aunt Mei unaccompanied? Did she find her relatives? But if you find your relatives, can't you just ask yourself for a kindness
In just a blink of an eye, countless thoughts flashed through King Zhennan's mind, but he rejected them one by one.
But Xiao Yi and Guan Yubai showed a clear smile, and finally pried open the mouth of Dr. Xu Liang. Once an opening is opened, the next step will be much easier...
Dr. Xu Liang's face was ashen, he gritted his teeth, and finally said in an angry way: "Mei, Aunt Mei asked me to send a message to a dessert shop called Li's shop in the city, to the owner of the shop."
An aunt delivered a message to a man outside, and no matter how she heard it, she thought it was like a green cloud covering her head. Zhennan Wang's expression was even more gloomy, his right hand grabbed the crescent armrest of the top chair fiercely, and the veins on the back of his hand were raised.
"What news?!" King Zhennan's voice sounded like a glance squeezed out of his throat.
Doctor Xu Liang shrank again in fright, and said in a trembling voice: "Small, small..."
The corners of Xiao Yi's lips twitched slightly, and he said casually: "Doctor Xu Liang, you have to think clearly before answering." As he spoke, he looked at the carriage, although he didn't speak, it made Doctor Xu Liang's heart tremble suddenly .
He couldn't help thinking: What did Aunt Mei confess to? ! Judging from what Shizi said just now, could it be that she wants to blame herself for all the crimes? !
Xu Liangyi knelt down on the ground, clenched his hands tightly into fists.
He didn't dare to ask, he was flustered for a while.
If it weren't for Aunt Mei's coercion, he would still be working as his good doctor in the palace with a generous monthly salary. Except for a few masters in the palace, whoever saw him would greet him with "Doctor Xu Liang". Even in this Luoyue City, he was extremely dignified.
However, everything is ruined!
Blame that woman!
If you want to die, everyone will die together! Thinking of this, Dr. Xu Liang gritted his teeth and said, "My lord, my lord, it was really Aunt Mei who coerced the little one! The little one, because he was afraid that Aunt Mei would kill her afterwards, he secretly copied the news and hid it at home... "
Dr. Xu Liang told the hidden place in one breath, and Zhennan Wang asked Chief Guard He to go again with a gloomy face.
Chief Guard He left in a hurry, returned in a hurry, brought a black lacquer box, and handed it to King Zhennan himself.
Zhennan Wang's expression at this time was extremely ugly. For half an hour, he hadn't said a word, and he was so angry that he couldn't even swear.
After receiving the box, King Zhennan signaled Chief Guard He to split the lock with his sword, and at a glance, he saw two thin pieces of paper in the box. There were only these two pieces of paper in this palm-sized box. Some are empty.
King Zhennan didn't care about these things, he quickly picked up the note and looked at it. To his surprise, the words on the note turned out to be Baiyue's words!
However, the distortion and traces of alterations in the Baiyue script seem to have been copied by a person who is not familiar with Baiyue script.
He looked at Doctor Xu Liang coldly, and saw the latter shiveringly said: "My lord, I don't know what is written on it, I just copied it down one by one..." He asked Aunt Mei for a pulse At that time, there were maids in the room waiting on him, so every time, Aunt Mei could only take the opportunity to get a pulse and stuff him with a piece of tissue paper folded only the size of a fingernail. Even the wax was useless. Only then did he have the opportunity to transcribe.
The King of Zhennan had also learned Baiyue characters. Even if he was not good at it, he could roughly tell that the first note said: The concubine is difficult to deal with, and I hope the master will give it a few days; while the second note is : Spring hunting will proceed according to the plan. After the spring hunting, the Xiaofang family will persuade the elders of the Xiao family to propose to King Zhennan to abolish the prince.
With just a few words, King Zhennan became more and more frightened, his eyes widened.
Doctor Xu Liang didn't know the Baiyue language, and he didn't dare to inquire about it, but he still knew that it was a foreign language. Now just looking at Zhennan Wang's face, he guessed that the matter might be more serious than he originally imagined. .
Could it be the catastrophe of ransacking the family and exterminating the clan? Doctor Xu Liang didn't dare to think about it, his back was sticky and covered in cold sweat.
The surroundings became quieter, so that the sound of the flames jumping seemed extremely ear-piercing.
King Zhennan read the two pieces of paper several times, and his fingers holding the paper trembled slightly. He didn't know whether it was shock, anger, or disbelief.
He couldn't believe his eyes, Aunt Mei was a spy from another country, and even her own step-wife, Xiao Fang, was involved. Did she eat the heart of a bear? ! Nanjiang and Baiyue are feuds!
Zhennan Wang's thoughts were confused for a while, once this matter got out, it would be enough to bring catastrophe to Zhennan Wang's mansion!
Rao Zhennan Wang has experienced many big scenes in his life. At this moment, he also felt a little weak in his legs and feet, and his mouth was dry.
Zhennan Wang's first reaction was to destroy the two notes, but before he could implement them, Xiao Yi had already taken the notes from him.
King Zhennan was stunned for a moment, and was about to grab them, but seeing that Xiao Yi had finished reading them, he handed them over to Guan Yubai on the right.
This time, King Zhennan was completely dumbfounded, he had no time to object, and could only watch helplessly as Guan Yubai also read the note.
King Zhennan no longer knew whether it was anger or tiredness.
Doesn't Xiao Yi, a rebellious son, know that disaster is already at the top of his head? ! His heart is too big! In any case, Hou An Yi's surname is not Xiao, and he was sent by the emperor!
Xiao Yi sneered, and said, "Father, do you think today's matter can be concealed?"
King Zhennan felt a pain in his chest, but he also admitted that Xiao Yi was right.
Marquis An Yi has seen this matter from the beginning to the end, and if he insists on keeping it a secret, he will only feel that the Zhennan Palace is "guilty"! In the final analysis, it was all the fault of that bastard surnamed Mei... No, there is also Xiao Fang, as the wife of the Zhennan Palace, she colluded with Baiyue people. This is simply killing the Palace. Push on the road!
In a short period of time, King Zhennan had thought a lot, until Guan Yubai spoke up and said, "My lord, in my opinion, Aunt Mei's death should be the 'according to plan' mentioned in the third message." Act'." As he spoke, he looked at the black lacquered flat-topped carriage not far away, "As a spy, using his own life to set up this situation is really vicious and vicious, presumably Baiyue wants to This has planted the seeds of doubt in the heart of the prince, once the prince is suspicious of the son, and someone provokes him again, what will the prince do?"
In fact, both Guan Yubai and Xiao Yi knew that the words "According to the plan" written on this note should refer to Aunt Mei's provocative actions in Xiao Yi's tent yesterday, and Aunt Mei's death was probably due to her action. She failed, so she was treated as an abandoned child by her master to ensure the smooth implementation of the plan.
But King Zhennan didn't know...
What will happen to him? ! King Zhennan remained silent and asked himself.
He can be sure that in his rage, he is very likely to depose the son.
Thinking about it, the King of Zhennan broke out in a cold sweat. Although Xiao Yi's unfilial son was unfilial and refused to obey his discipline, on the battlefield, this rebellious son was brave and good at fighting, killing Baiyue people like a tiger. If this rebellious son was really destroyed by himself Didn't it follow the wishes of the Baiyue people? !
In the next day, Baiyue once again swung his army to the north, wouldn't it mean that the Southern Border Army lost a general? !
The king of Zhennan hardly dared to think about it anymore, his eyes were red with anger for a while, thinking that his father had fought on the battlefield for decades before they could let the Xiao family build this foundation in southern Xinjiang, if it was destroyed in his own hands, the future Under the nine springs, how should I face my father? !
Aunt Mei is dead, otherwise he really wants to tear her to pieces, and Xiao Fang...
Little Fang!
She has been married to him for more than ten years and has enjoyed all the glory and wealth of the Zhennan Prince's Mansion, yet she dares to collude with Baiyue! How unreasonable, simply unreasonable!
King Zhennan's breath became anxious all of a sudden, and his face turned red for a while.
He looked at Guan Yubai, forced a smile, and said, "My lord..."
As soon as he spoke, he was interrupted by Guan Yubai, and he said in a serious tone: "My lord, just listen to me."
On weekdays, Guan Yubai always called himself "I" to everyone, and was gentle and polite. When he suddenly called himself "Benhou", but a simple sentence made Zhennan Wang feel an inexplicable coercion.
"Master Hou, please tell me." King Zhennan's voice was a little stiff, a little weak.
"My lord, this matter involves Baiyue. It is of great importance. In order to prevent this matter from being leaked, I would like to ask my lord to go back to the camp first, in order to reassure the generals, so that no one will speculate." He carefully reminded, "Your Majesty, this matter must be handled with care, and you must not leak any rumors. If it spreads..."
Guan Yubai didn't say any more, but King Zhennan understood.
If it spreads to the capital of the king and the emperor, and the emperor finds out that his wife and concubine are in collusion with Baiyue, how will the emperor treat him? How would you view the Zhennan Palace
With the emperor's suspicious personality, he would rather kill by mistake than let him go!
Otherwise, there will be no massacre of the official family.
Thinking of this, King Zhennan felt that his eyes were going black, and the blood in his body was about to freeze, and he almost fell to the ground.
The King of Zhennan hurriedly said: "Master Hou, the Zhennan Palace has absolutely never colluded with Baiyue..." He said righteously, "Since my father, the Zhennan Palace has guarded the southern border, and I never dare to have second thoughts! "
"Benhou naturally believes that the prince and the son are innocent!" Guan Yubai calmed Zhennan Wang's emotions, "So I still hope that the prince will sit in the town for spring hunting, so I will personally accompany the prince to search the Li family's shop."
Greeting Shangguan Yubai with sympathetic and understanding eyes, the King of Zhennan was very grateful, and fortunately this An Yi Hou Mingli, otherwise this time, the residence of the King of Zhennan might suffer catastrophe.
The King of Zhennan, who was originally without a master, seemed to have found the backbone in an instant, and readily agreed, and then exhorted Xiao Yi: "A Yi, I will leave this matter to you and Lord Hou, you have to be careful, and deal with Lord Hou in everything. 'discuss'."
If Guan Yubai was allowed to handle the matter with full authority, Zhennan King would not be at ease. With Xiao Yi around, Zhennan King would feel more at ease. No matter how bad this rebellious son was with him, he was also the eldest son of Zhennan Wangfu, and he shared honor and disgrace with the Wangfu. On the surface, he wanted Xiao Yi to discuss everything with Guan Yubai, but actually he wanted Xiao Yi to keep an eye on Guan Yubai.
Xiao Yi casually responded, King Zhennan suppressed the urge to teach Xiao Yi a lesson, he smiled stiffly, and then rushed back with a group of guards a little nervously.
Xiao Yi raised the corners of his lips and winked triumphantly at Guan Yubai.
