After hearing this, He Jin thought of something: "Did you see the princess in Luoyang Palace?"
Master Cunzhen: "...I saw it."
He Jin twisted the beads: "How is the princess?"
Master Cunzhen fiddled with his long hair in front of his clothes. It was still raining outside, and he was a little wet when he came back. He vaguely explained some details: "Ms. Ying saw those wooden boxes, and then she seemed to want to ask Shilang Qi, But it didn't work out."
Master Cunzhen still remembers that in the heavy rain, Princess Youzhou held her hand on Shilang Qi's half-broken neck. She knelt on the ground, and the surging blood soaked her sleeves and skirt completely. She did not cry. For a long time, she just wiped the blood spattered on her face in a daze, but she didn't know that her hands were covered in blood.
At that moment, Cunzhen thought of the word Lotus Weeping Dew.
"I heard what you said before that Duke Wei always treated the princess favorably and treated her as an honored guest." He Jin said.
Cunzhen thought about it for a moment and said with some hesitation: "Yes, the Xiyuan of Luoyang Palace has always been the favorite place of Duke Wei. There are thousands of flowers hidden in the garden, and others cannot easily enter. The Duke gave it to live with the princess. "
"The princess has hurt the Duke several times and has never heard of punishment. This matter has made Han Fu very dissatisfied. He feels..." Cunzhen glanced at Zhou Youzhou's people: "I feel that the Duke is too selfish towards the princess..."
He Jin's expression remained unchanged. Sometimes, when a person is in pain, it does not necessarily mean physical pain.
He Jin thought for a moment and said, "Can you see the princess often?"
"What are you thinking about?" Cunzhen was speechless and said to his friend: "I am able to enter Luoyang Palace because of the favor of Governor Shi. Xiyuan is deep in Luoyang Palace and is heavily guarded. You can't see the princess usually."
"I advise you not to make wrong decisions. The Duke has killed many people."
At night.
He Jin was sitting on the edge of the bed meditating. Cun Zhen was tossing and turning and couldn't fall asleep. He couldn't help but ask, "What do you want to do?"
He Jin still closed his eyes: "Wei Gongping has also studied Buddhism quite a lot. Wei Erlang is favored by Wei Gong because of the cinnabar mole on his forehead. It's hard to say whether the title Wuchenzi was promoted by Wei Erlang in order to please Wei Gong. of."
"Next time if you have a chance to enter Luoyang Palace." He Jin slowly opened his eyes: "If you want, you can dress up as a senior monk."
"Is it that simple?" Cunzhen waited for a while but didn't hear the rest.
"It's that simple." He Jin seemed to be smiling: "Maybe one day you can stay in Luoyang Palace, as an old friend, to relieve the princess's worries."
Cunzhen couldn't sleep, so he sat up.
He Jin turned the beads: "If you have selfishness, you will have love, hate, and desire, right?"
The truth is dubious.
In the next three days, Cunzhen always thought of He Jin's words. In Luoyang City, his house was safe, and He Jin was also safe. Cunzhen thought about whether to do what He Jin said, and decided not to. Take the risk, just dress up as usual.
Governor Shi likes him best when he wears the brightly colored husband's robe. He is also like a handsome man in daily life and rarely wears temple clothes. Now Governor Shi does not need to go to recruit people, and his mood is better. The rewards I received really increased.
Mr. Xie has already set off with the mission of Minister Qi.
Cunzhen sighed at this, helpless. The young lady of the Xie family was the apple of Prime Minister Xie's eye. The Duke did not do anything to her for the time being. He was just imprisoned. But if you think about it, you know that if the Xie family in Chang'an fell, the young lady of the Xie family would His fate will not be good.
Cunzhen stood behind Governor Shi, listening to the discussion between Governor Shi, Han Fu and the generals. Duke Wei and the others were now psychologically prepared to rebel against the rebels and attack Luo, but they all had different opinions on where to attack Luo. , some say that the rebels will set out from Xiangyang to the north along Hao County, because this direction can attack Luoyang.
Not long ago, there were frequent changes on Lu Hun's road, which also verified most people's thoughts.
Some generals thought they would attack Luo from the direction of Jinling.
Cunzhen listened to their discussion and remembered that Dong Hun was sent to Ruzhou by Wei Gong. Does this mean that the Duke of Wei was also preparing for an attack from Xiangyang, because Xiangyang was Nanyang to the north.
After Wei Guo announced that he had installed precautions in important towns along the way, everyone walked out of the study one after another.
"Master Tao Jing."
Cunzhen's heart suddenly became excited.
Shi Zhi said: "The Duke just wants to ask a question." After saying that, he patted Cuzhen on the shoulder, told him not to be nervous, and then went out.
Cunzhen knelt on the ground, his heart pounding. He didn't do anything to help He Jin. He just kept to himself.
Wei Yanshan looked at Cunzhen and said after a while, "I heard that you know Princess Youzhou."
Cun Zhen broke out in a cold sweat: "I didn't know the identity of the princess before I was sent to the official position. I only thought she was an ordinary woman, so I took her in. Please forgive me."
Wei Yanshan spoke calmly: "We are both old friends and good friends. We haven't seen each other for such a long time, so we should take a walk."
Cunzhen was stunned and couldn't believe it for a moment.
Actually, He Jin really got it right?
He lowered his head and said solemnly: "Yes."
Wei Yanshan closed his eyes and rested his mind to relieve the discomfort caused by being unable to sleep in recent days.
In total darkness.
Princess Youzhou's eyes that looked like tears of blood were lingering in his mind.
Stop looking at him!
Wei Yanshan suddenly came back to his senses, and the wound that had obviously healed began to feel painful but not painful again, making his immortal face slightly distorted.
Chapter 316
The peonies in Xiyuan bloom at their peak in the year.
It is shaded by green bamboos and colorful.
Cunzhen was dazzled when he first came in, but he kept his concentration. When he got to the back of Luhua Palace, he felt a sense of coolness. When Dongxue came out of the inner room, she saw Master Cunzhen. A flash of surprise flashed through her, and she looked towards him calmly. The old housekeeper who came over from Master Cunzhen asked, "Who is this? It's afternoon, and my wife is going to have a rest."
Cunzhen was greatly relieved when he saw Dongxue pretending not to recognize him.
"The poor monk, whose name is Cunzhen, is an old friend of the princess. The Duke specially sent the poor monk to see the princess." Cunzhen introduced himself without waiting for the old housekeeper to speak, and by the way pointed out that the Duke asked him to come.
The old housekeeper brought the person there, and remembering the Duke's instructions, he reluctantly asked the maid to bring lunch. In the past two days, the Princess of Youzhou had always eaten very little, and she opened the gate of Xiyuan when she left.
"Master Cunzhen, please go to the tearoom and sit down first." Dongxue led people to the tearoom.
Cunzhen enters the elegantly decorated tea room.
Inner room.
Xiao Luolan heard Dong Xue say that Master Cunzhen was here. She had been sitting in front of the window and suddenly turned around. Her pupils dilated for a moment, her heart trembled violently, and her stomach became sour. She lay on the dressing table, unable to control herself. He retched several times.
"There is only Master Cunzhen." Dongxue felt heartbroken, and quickly patted the lady's back, handed over the tea for gargling, and said: "He is the only one, there are no swordsmen, axemen, archers, and the Duke of Wei is not here. "
Xiao Luolan calmed down for a while, wiped the water from the corner of his mouth, and the stiffness and numbness in his hands and feet gradually subsided: "Why is he here?"
Now every time she meets someone she knows, there is no joy for Xiao Luolan. She no longer wants to see anyone who has interacted with her.
"Master Cunzhen said that Duke Wei asked him to come and see you." Dong Xue whispered.
Xiao Luolan couldn't help but suspect that this was another test by Wei Yanshan. She closed her eyes tiredly: "Please help me tell Master Cunzhen that I am unwell and ask him to go back."
Dongxue saw the princess' slightly pale face and left the inner room after a while. When she came back again, she said: "Master Cunzhen has left."
Xiao Luolan's hand that had been tightly clenched relaxed a little. Dongxue was by the princess's side. The pollen was fragrant in front of the window and the green shadows were swaying. However, she couldn't help but think of the princess's body covered in blood and her eyes dull when she came back last time. , she was really scared to death at that time, and she thought the princess was injured.
Only later did she know what happened to the Tang family and Minister Qi.
Dongxue said worriedly: "You didn't eat yesterday. It's almost afternoon now. Eat as much as you can."
Xiao Luolan just stared out the window blankly.
Dong Xueqing still wanted to persuade him for a while.
"Am I useless?" Xiao Luolan looked at Dongxue and murmured: "They don't deserve to die. If they didn't know me, how could they end up like this? You too, narrowly escaped death and came to see me, so do I. I couldn’t protect you.”
Xiao Luolan touched the thin cheek of this little girl Dongxue, her eyes full of pain: "I always bring disaster to you."
When Cun Zhen came, she flinched. She was afraid that Wei Yanshan would find out the clues and involve Little Master He Jin, who was still safe for the time being.
From the Yu Dalang she met, the Tang family, Youzhou soldiers, Qi Shilang, Dongxue who came to see her, He Jin, so many people, so many people were implicated by her like this, Xiao Luolan couldn't let go at all, and her heart was as sharp as a knife. Cut.
"Princess must not think like that." Dongxue became anxious. She held the princess's hand and said, "The misfortunes of those people were all caused by Wei Guogong. What he did was just to make you surrender."
"Please don't blame yourself." Dong Xue said firmly: "Everything is the fault of Wei Guogong. He brought the disaster. When you were in Youzhou, He Jin and I were both good. There has never been such brutality around you."
"The Duke of Wei is the biggest culprit and the source of all evil." Dong Xue squeezed the princess' slightly cold hand and gave her strength.
But Xiao Luolan still couldn't let go, she couldn't forget it.
Dongxue could only stay with the princess, thinking of going to the front hall to get some pastries. When she arrived at the front hall, she unexpectedly found that the maids of Luhua Palace were whispering about the opening of the Xiyuan gate. Dongxue went to take a look. It was found that the gate of Xiyuan was completely opened, and there were even fewer patrol guards.
"Why is the door open?" Dongxue looked at the maid in Luhua Palace.
"The steward said that the Duke has an order. From now on, nobles can go out and relax in Luoyang Palace at will, and there is no need to close the door tightly." The maid said.
Dongxue was suspicious, could Duke Wei be so kind?
She tentatively walked out and found that there was really no one to stop her. She also went to the palace next door for a walk. After she found that she could really move around at will, she quickly returned to Luhua Palace in Xiyuan and told the news. princess.
Xiao Luolan didn't believe it when she heard the news that she could walk around Luoyang Palace at will.
"It's true." Dongxue said, "Madam, why don't you go out and take a look." She didn't want the princess to remain so depressed and self-loathing, "I heard you say that the young lady of the Xie family was also arrested. I wonder if she is also here. Luoyang Palace, we can move around freely here, maybe we can look for her, so we can know her current condition."
Xiao Luolan recalled that day in a trance. There seemed to be a thin young lady kneeling in the blood. Then she thought about the relationship between the Tang family and the Xie family. Yes, the young lady of the Xie family was alone now. All the relatives around her were dead. She was alone. Helpless.
She is the daughter of Prime Minister Xie, so Wei Yanshan would not kill her immediately.
Xiao Luolan managed to cheer up: "You're right."
Dongxue was overjoyed and asked the princess to have some food. When Xiao Luolan walked out of Xiyuan, she was still a little dazed. She really walked out. She looked around and saw that only the maidservant was following them. She took Dongxue with her. Walking along the palace corridor, I found that there were really no patrol guards to stop them.
Xiao Luolan was a little hesitant and wary for the first time after walking around casually for a long time. She kept her heart in mind and pretended to be strolling while Dongxue guarded the princess and memorized the route of Luoyang Palace.
When Wei Cixin saw Princess Youzhou coming with a group of maids, she almost thought she was hallucinating.
This is Luoyang Palace! Not Youzhou Langge! Princess Youzhou actually wanders around the palace without anyone supervising her to stop her?
"Why did the princess appear here?" Wei Cixin stepped forward, puzzled. His mother-in-law had been detained by his father until now. Today he came to see her, but he didn't expect to meet Princess Youzhou.
Xiao Luolan didn't expect to meet them, and looked cold and tired.
Wei Cixin looked at the maids, who could only say: "The Duke has an order, and the nobles can walk around the palace to relax."
Wei Ci was in disbelief for a moment.
The one who was even more rude than him was the grandmother of Tingfangyuan. In Tingfangyuan, Ye Yiru was locked up and was not allowed to go out. She stood at the gate of the garden, her face pale: "The order from the Duke?"
Wei Ci suppressed the resentment in his heart. He could not understand why his father was so harsh to his mother. He only met Princess Youzhou once in private and was banned. However, Princess Youzhou could still come out openly. His father was so harsh on his mother. She is so tolerant!
Ye Yiru looked at Princess Youzhou bitterly at Yuanmen.
