Chang'an is good

Chapter 83 The Unknown Inside Story

Chang Suining looked at the cotton towel that fell on the ground.

Chang Sui'an was very puzzled and said: "Even my son has heard of the name of Princess Xuan'an, how could Dad not recognize it?"

Chang Kuo choked, and changed his words: "I mean I don't know him well!"

He also emphasized: "How can I recognize that kind of poisonous woman!"

Chang Suining was at a loss when he heard this: "... Where does the talk about poisonous women come from?"

Chang Kuo's face was full of anger: "This person is acting absurdly. Not only does he not abide by women's morals, but he also provides himself with extravagance and pleasure for the fish and meat people in the fiefdom. He is really a poisonous woman among poisonous women!"

Both Chang Sui Ning and Chang Sui An were dumbfounded.

"Father... If you say that the Eldest Princess is romantic, my son has heard about it, but the fish and meat people..." Chang Suian scratched his head: "How did my son hear that the land of Xuanzhou has been under the influence of the Eldest Princess in recent years?" Under the rule, the people are very prosperous and happy?"

Chang Kuo denied it: "It's just a rumor!"

Chang Suian saw it in his eyes, and said "You look more like the one who spread the rumors" I don't know if it should be said or not.

Chang Kuo corrected again: "What kind of flirtatious, that's called disobedience!"

Hearing him repeatedly emphasize this point, Chang Suining couldn't help but said: "But the eldest princess has lost her husband for many years, and she is not a human woman at all, so why is it that the so-called women's morals can be kept?"

And as far as she knew, Lao Chang was not such a pedantic person, and he had never heard anything about women's chastity—why did he hold on to her aunt's hobby so much at this time?

Nor did she recall any past festivals worth mentioning between the two.

"...In short, this person is not a kind person!" Chang Kuo directly resorted to "what do children know" perfunctory: "You are still young, you will understand later."

Said, picked up the chopsticks: "Okay, don't mention her again, bad luck! Let's eat!"

He picked up a piece of lotus root with chopsticks, but felt that the several holes in the lotus root slice together looked like a yin and yang face, which made him sneer, and he felt angry— - How unreasonable it is!
He threw the lotus root clip aside with a resentful expression, and then put the chopsticks down heavily with a "snap".

Chang Suian: "..."

If he was not mistaken, his father was angry with a piece of lotus root?
Chang Kuo rested his hands on his knees and looked at his daughter: "Speaking of which, why did you suddenly mention that poisonous woman Xuan'an?"

Chang Suining: "..."

The resounding "don't mention her" still rings in my ears.

There is an impulse in Chang Suian's heart - he has never been like this for a moment, and wants to give Dad some warnings from the Rejuvenation Pavilion!

But he dared not.

Chang Suining then recounted the fact that he met people under Princess Xuan'an's subordinates in the cemetery today.

Chang Kuo snorted coldly: "It's really very sick."

"Father... I'll be fine, right?" Chang Sui'an was a little uneasy again when this matter was mentioned again: "Although she was forced to swear poisonously, but in case some day is unlucky, call the eldest princess or Her adoptive daughter saw me by herself, I'm afraid I'm in danger...you have to hide me well!"

He can't be blamed for being too confident, but the female guard's stalking behavior was too crazy, revealing the danger signal behind her that "this son will satisfy my master".

"Snatch my Chang Kuo's son? She doesn't have the guts yet!" Chang Kuo's voice was extraordinarily powerful, and he gave his son a look: "What are you hiding, be careful, put your heart back in your stomach!"

Chang Suian could only nod.

Chang Kuo picked up his chopsticks again: "Okay, let's eat, don't mention this unlucky person again!"

Two brothers and sisters: "..."

The chopsticks in Chang Kuo's hand came to the top of the plate of lotus root slices, and when he took a closer look, he felt that the whole plate of lotus root slices was yin and yang strangely.

This thing is probably the old yin and yang lotus root planted by the old yin and yang people in the old yin and yang pond!
"This lotus root is so unlucky, why put it on the dining table!" Chang Kuo immediately said: "Take it away and feed it to the dog!"

Everyone was speechless.

First of all, what did the lotus root do wrong.

Secondly, dogs don't like vegetarian food either.

But the envoy can only follow suit.

After eating a meal, Chang Kuo's anger finally subsided as his stomach became more and more full.

Chang Suining, who secretly observed his entire meal, came to the conclusion that Chang Kuo was prejudiced against the eldest princess, and he was very bitter.

She originally wanted to ask Chang Kuo more about the eldest princess and Xuanzhou's affairs through today's incident, but seeing that Chang Kuo seemed like a firecracker that would explode at the mention of it, she was in no hurry to ask more questions.

The eldest princess didn't ask about it, so she asked about another matter, which was more important to her.

"Father, I heard Ah Dian mention it by chance today, it seems that His Royal Highness's birthday is coming soon?"

On the way back from the dining hall, Chang Suining seemed to ask casually.

Chang Kuo was slightly taken aback, and nodded after a while: "Yes, next month will be His Highness's birthday."

"Will Dad go to sacrifice?"

"I want to go and see His Highness." Chang Kuo's tone sounded ordinary: "It's just that outsiders like us are not allowed to go privately when Jingshan Gongling is not a big festival."

Chang Suining paused for a moment, and said: "Father and Your Highness have been through life and death for many years, so they are not outsiders."

Chang Kuo smiled when he heard the words: "Although this is the case, the rules cannot be broken. It doesn't matter, and you don't have to go to Gongling, and the private memorial ceremony is the same..."

As he spoke, he looked up at the night sky: "As long as His Highness can hear you, that's fine."

Chang Suining nodded silently.

This, and it is still very guaranteed.

She continued logically: "The former crown prince and the eldest princess Chongyue are twins, so that day will also be the birth of the eldest princess—"

Chang Kuo nodded: "It's natural."

And what they really want to sacrifice is the latter.

"The first prince fought on the battlefield, and my dad was in the same robes as Xuance's army, so there must be no shortage of people to remember him." Chang Suining seemed to be a little emotional: "Princess Chongyue was weak during her lifetime, and she didn't often interact with others. , and then went away to a foreign land with relatives... He has been dead for many years, do you know if there are still close relatives who were close to him in his lifetime to commemorate his birthday?"

She knows many things that Lao Chang knows, but at this time she is Ah Li, so she still pretends not to know that Lao Chang knows, and Lao Chang also pretends not to know with her... It's a bit of a twist, but that's about it mean.

"There should be..." Chang Kuo pondered and said, "Apart from the saint, Her Highness the Eldest Princess also has two old acquaintances, one is Mrs. Zheng Guogong's wife, Duan Shi, who once accompanied Her Royal Highness to read. "

"What about the other one?"

"The other is the envoy of His Royal Highness the Princess." Chang Kuo said: "This envoy was with the Princess since she was a child, and then followed the Princess to marry Beidi. Before the Princess decided to die for the country, probably I tried to arrange this female envoy so that she was lucky enough to escape the pursuit of the Di army. After our army won a big victory, some soldiers found her..."

The above is all that Chang Suining has been able to find out in recent days——

All she knew was that Yuzhuan was still alive—it was good to be alive, this was what she wished at that time, and it was also what she hoped to see at this time.

Only the living can give her the answer.

Chang Sui Jing quietly waited for Chang Kuo to continue.

"Although the person is still alive, she was not seriously injured, but because she escaped and fled in the severe cold for many days, and the death of His Royal Highness the eldest princess hit her hard...so she became a lot more stupid."

"Stupid?" Chang Suining frowned slightly.

Chang Kuo nodded: "Zuo is just a female envoy, and not many people know these details. The sage read her and served the eldest princess for many years, so she was properly placed. Now she is still in the old mansion of Chongyue eldest princess, but because of Suffering from this disease, most of the time is in a state of stupidity, and it seems that he has never gone out in the past ten years."

Are you in a state of stupidity most of the time?
That is to say, or occasionally sober?
And it's hard to say whether this so-called stupidity is true or not—it's possible to hide from something by pretending to be stupid with such a secret in mind.

"How did Suining think of asking Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess?"

"When you mention His Highness the First Crown Prince, you immediately think of Your Highness the Eldest Princess."

Chang Kuo's tone was a little imperceptibly low, and he said slowly: "His Royal Highness is also a person worthy of admiration."

But what His Highness received before and after his death did not match what she gave.

He finally said: "On the day of Ming's birthday, Mrs. Zheng Guogong should go to the Princess Chang's Mansion to offer sacrifices... The saint can't let go of Her Highness the Princess Chang, so he has kept the Princess Chang's Mansion as it is. On the birthday and death day, only Mrs. Zheng Guogong, who had been friends with His Royal Highness the Princess, was allowed to go to offer sacrifices."

Can't let go?
Chang Suining lowered his eyes.

She couldn't believe this statement.

Or it is more credible to interpret it as a desire to establish the name of a loving mother in front of the world.

While speaking, the fork in the road leading to the inner and outer courtyards was already in front of him, Chang Suining said "Daddy rest early", then separated from Chang Kuo, and took Xi'er towards his courtyard.

Above the night, a round of bright moon will not be full.

Many thoughts flashed through Chang Suining's heart, the most clear one was that she must see Yuxie.

There is a mystery in her heart, and only jade chips can solve it right now.

Everyone knows that 12 years ago, during the war between Dasheng and Beidi, Princess Chongyue killed Beidi's coach "by some means".

The world also knows that after she took the commander's head out of the army tent, in order to avoid being humiliated and hostage, she killed herself in front of the Beidi army.

This is roughly true.

But behind her suicide and death, there is another unknown inside story——

At that time, she was halfway through the fight with the Beidi coach, and she noticed something strange in her body—she was poisoned.

And the only possibility she could think of was the cup of tea handed over by the envoy Yuxuan.

Yuxie is her most trusted confidant, and because she had a death wish in her heart at that time, she gave Yuxie an opportunity.

If it wasn't for the fact that the poison had broken out, she had exhausted her last ounce of energy to kill Beidi's coach, and she had no strength to fight any more. She would have killed a few more to be buried with her, and she would bleed anyway, so she shouldn't waste a single drop.

She has a good face, since she has no chance to fight again, she chooses a way of death that she likes. Compared with dying under the random knives of those Beidi people, committing suicide is obviously a good choice.

But thinking about it, after she died, Beidi people would not treat her body kindly.

She can't take care of the affairs behind her, just try to keep her face in life as much as possible.

As for Yuxie's secret act of poisoning, she naturally doubted Minghou.

This move obviously did not want her to have the chance to return to Dasheng alive - and the person who needed to do this the most was Empress Ming who was only one step away from the dragon chair at that time.

Even if the other party promised to take her back, but the trickery words used to coax the child, just listen to it.

But now Yuxie is still alive, and has been properly placed in the eldest princess's mansion... If the poisoning incident was really instigated by the empress, why didn't she clean it up?

It can also be explained that everyone is dead anyway, no one will pursue the truth, a mere foolish female envoy can't make any troubles, and being in the Princess's mansion is equivalent to being under house arrest, everything is under control , it is better to leave the person behind, and treat the old people around the eldest princess with all kindness——

But Chang Suining always felt a little uncertain.

It's not that she still has illusions about the Empress Ming, but that she should always be cautious when searching for the truth.

Indulging in blind suspicion is as inadvisable as blind trust.

Twelve years ago, who was the person who wanted to kill her with poison - the answer must lie in Yuxie.

She had to try to see Yuxi.

Chang Suining turned his head and looked far away in the direction of Princess Chongyue's old mansion.

……

"General, I don't know if I should say something or not..."

Bai Guanshi, who accompanied Chang Kuo back, said in deliberation.

"When did you learn this trick?" Chang Kuo glanced at him: "Speak or not."

The white manager coughed lightly, and relieved the embarrassment by himself: "It's about the girl... The subordinates always feel that since the girl escaped from Hezhou, her words, deeds, behavior and even her temperament have changed a lot."

Chang Kuo: "Isn't this nonsense, which daughter's family is responsible for such matters, and can't her temperament change drastically?"

"The truth is so..." Manager Bai thought for a while, and said, "But the more my subordinates look at it these days, the more they feel that the girl has changed."

Chang Kuo suddenly laughed: "How long do you need to watch?"

Baiguan was puzzled.

Chang Kuo sighed: "Ever since I saw this child for the first time on the way back to Beijing with the army, she hadn't spoken yet, and I didn't know that she had hurt her head, so I already felt this way."

Bai Guanshi was surprised: "The general can see the difference at a glance?"

Chang Kuo said "hmm": "It's true that I have changed inside and out."

"Then general..." Guanshi Bai looked around, and lowered his voice as he couldn't lower his voice: "Have you ever thought about the possibility of a girl being bewitched?"

Chang Kuo shook his head: "Not really."

"Even if the general doesn't believe in the theory of ghosts and gods, but..."

"It's because I don't believe in ghosts and gods." Chang Kuo interrupted Guan Shi's words, and said slowly: "I feel that Suining has changed a lot because of that look, but there is a feeling that has not changed-no matter how old this child is. Changes, but look in my eyes, but still a family."

He can't be wrong about the kind of bond that only exists between family members.

After listening to the matter, the white manager also smiled relievedly: "That's true, after hearing the general mention it, the subordinates also vaguely felt that although the girl has changed a lot, she has never been unfamiliar."

"Yes." Chang Kuo raised his hand and twisted his beard, and said with a smile, "No matter how it changes, we are still a family."

……

The next day, it will be late.

Anyi Fang, outside the gate of Cui's house, every quarter of an hour, some visiting servants would return to the house and report the news with Cui Lang.

"Not back yet?" Cui Lang was a little anxious.

At this time, a female envoy came over and said, "Your Majesty, the birthday banquet is about to begin, Madam urges you to go there quickly."

Cui Lang had no choice but to rush over first, and saw his father Cui Wei's slightly displeased face without any surprise.
