Chapter 92 On the Fish in the Pool
In fact, Qin Mubai's so-called "complaint" is just a scene. Princess Gaoyang was not in the palace yesterday. The emperor's order was only issued today. What can he complain about? But as a subordinate, it is a good posture and a good attitude to admit mistakes instead of doing it. Changsun Xun, a kind of gracious son, doesn't understand, but Qin Mubai has a deep understanding of it.
The group waited for the Wude Hall, and the one guarding the inner hall was the Hundred Horses led by Cheng Huaibi. Qin Mubai asked a little and learned that Princess Gaoyang was indeed in the imperial study, and... the emperor was furious!
"Is the King of Wei there?" Qin Mubai asked.
"I'm not here." Cheng Huaibi replied in a low voice, "Fuan Xuanling is there. Princess Gaoyang went to the palace with Fang Xuanling.
"What? ..." Qin Mubai's heart tightened: Did Li Tai sell Princess Gaoyang directly to Fang Xuanling? ...How did you deal with this?
For a moment, Qin Mubai fell into meditation. In his place, he thought of himself as Li Tai and analyzed why "he" did this.
Princess Gaoyang came to ask for help from Li Tai. As an elder brother, Li Tai can't say anything if he doesn't help. However, he is also a good friend of Fang Yuai. In addition, this matter is likely to set fire and affect the future of winning the throne. Therefore, Li Tai didn't want to help Princess Gaoyang do such a thing at all. But in this way, he offended Princess Gaoyang and lost a bad reputation among the royal family.
So what should I do?
Naturally, he will not talk about the young boy. He will say to Princess Gao Yang that Fang Xuanling is well aware of the great righteousness, and how close he has a close relationship with Fang Xuanling. He is willing to take Princess Gao Yang to meet Fang Xuanling and explain the reason why he does not want to marry into the Fang family. Naturally, Princess Gaoyang was not happy, but she had no choice but to trust Li Tai, her own brother, for the time being. So the two of them went to Fangfu to talk about things. Naturally, it was not easy for Fang Xuanling to touch the face of a princess and a popular prince, and could only agree on the surface. Then Li Tai returned to the palace and told the emperor the original story - in the name of a brother who helped his sister with the matter. Make a seemingly pleasing momentum.
As a result, the emperor Longyan was furious and would scold Li Tai, but most of the anger would only go to Princess Gaoyang. Because he knew Princess Gaoyang, she must be pressing Li Tai step by step, and Li Tai had no choice but to help her. In this way, Li Tai will not bear any consequences, and also leaves the name of "love for his sister" in Li Shimin's mind.
After the Xuanwumen Incident, what Li Shimin valued most was whether his children got along well and were filial. Although Li Tai will be scolded, it is more useful than being praised!
......
Thinking of this, Qin Mubai couldn't help but tremble: If this is the case, then Princess Gaoyang is too tragic. She was simply fooled by Li Tai as cannon fodder... If you don't think so much, just go in and have a look.
Qin Mubai walked outside the imperial study and heard that Li Shimin was scolding Princess Gaoyang, saying that she was unfilial and unscrupulous and frivolous.
Princess Gaoyang was crying very fiercely. She repeatedly only emphasized that she would rather die than marry a house lover. "The Fang family has made it clear that she promised not to marry me. Father, you still insist on me. You obviously don't want me!"
Fang Xuanling was painstakingly sandwiched in the middle, persuading the father and daughter in embarrassment.
Li Shimin became more and more angry, roaring like thunder. Princess Gaoyang gradually only cried, and Fang Xuanling didn't say anything.
Qin Mubai's heart tightened: Don't go in and make fun of it...
So I waited outside for a long time, and there was no more Li Shimin's roar inside. At this time, he said lightly, "Gao Yang, I am deeply responsible for your love. I hope you can understand. You did overdo it this time. Go back and reflect on yourself. The children of ordinary people still know that marriage is the words of parents' life matchmaker. As a princess, you should have a mind and awareness, and take your own responsibility and accept your own destiny. Well, you go back to the harem to rest first. My father will come to see you in person in the Xianju Hall later.
"I'm leaving..." Princess Gaoyang didn't know why she didn't cry. She answered and walked out of the room.
Opening the door, Princess Gaoyang was looking at Qin Mubai at a glance. For a moment, Qin Mubai was shocked by her expression and eyes.
If it hadn't been for people who were extremely sad and disappointed, they would not have such expressions and eyes!
At this moment, Princess Gaoyang has lost her usual flying divine color and youth and beauty. Her face is pale and depressed, and her eyes are dull and weak. She is like a walking corpse, shaking out.
"Thief Military Academy, stinky man..." Princess Gaoyang Bu saw Qin Mubai at a glance, couldn't hold back her full emotions, and suddenly rushed to him with a loud cry.
Qin Mubai was shocked: "Hey, what are you doing?"
The door of the imperial study is open. Li Shimin and Fang Xuanling are all in it. You can hear everything, and you can see everything even if you turn your head a little! Moreover, there were so many sergeants present!
This girl is crazy!
Princess Gaoyang completely ignored it. She plunged into Qin Mubai's arms as if she had lost her heart. Her cheeks banged his chest armor, hugged him to death, and cried unscrupulously!
It's over!
For a while, Qin Mubai had a feeling of great disaster!
I have never felt like this before!
In a wise life, he was so caught off guard and was so fiercely posed by the little devil. It was like being suddenly kicked into the abyss and falling rapidly!
......
"You are still stunned. Why don't you pull the princess away?" Qin Mubai shouted intelligently in a hurry, "Your Highness is too sad and out of control. Send her back to the apse to rest!"
"No!" Several stunned sergeants were like enlightened and came forward to pull Princess Gaoyang.
"Don't pull, get out of here!" Princess Gaoyang seemed to risk her life and shouted hysterically, "Father, Fang Xuanling, you can hear it - I repeat now that the person I want to marry is Qin Mubai, otherwise I would rather die, I would rather be alone than marry into the Fang family!"
Boom!!!
In Qin Mubai's mind, there was a loud noise!
Now, the death is really complete!
Lowering his head, Qin Mubai looked at Princess Gaoyang in a stagnance and muttered, "Are you going to drag a cushion to death?"
Princess Gaoyang's beautiful eyes are already red, and her face is covered with tears. No matter how you look at it, she is also a little resentful woman who is full of sadness, disappointment, boring and even can't survive.
But when she raised her head slightly and looked at Qin Mubai, she suddenly showed a strange and demonic smile, grinned, showing her little tiger teeth and dimples, and whispered, "What, don't you want to?"
What else can Qin Mubai say?
Roar - "Please invite the princess to the apse to rest!"
......
Princess Gaoyang was forcibly dragged away by several hundred-rider sergeants.
In the imperial study, Li Shimin and Fang Xuanling have been quietly reading the whole process of the matter. No one has said a word, and even their expressions have not changed.
Qin Mubai was stunned outside the room for a moment, took a deep breath, forced to sort out his chaotic mood, pulled the stunned eldest grandson, and stepped into the imperial study together.
"Weichen Qin Mubai, I saw your majesty... I have seen Fang Xianggong." Qin Mubai was in front of him, and his eldest grandson saluted behind him.
"Well... you two, what's the matter?" Li Shimin asked calmly as if nothing had happened.
"Weichen and others are here to plead guilty."
"Are you guilty?"
Qin Mubai reported to the emperor about the inability to take care of Princess Gaoyang.
After listening to this, Li Shimin smiled faintly: "I don't blame Baiqi about this matter. Gao Yang left the palace yesterday. Let's stop this matter. Fang Xuanling, Changsun, you all step back first.
"Weichen quit." Fang Xuanling and Changsun Huang answered. Before leaving, they looked deeply at Qin Mubai and quietly retreated.
Li Shimin waved his hand, and all the maids and maids also withdrew. According to the order, no one should be allowed within 30 steps of the imperial study.
Qin Mubai has been standing quietly in front of the desk, feeling that the atmosphere in the room seems to be stagnant, and there is a faint feeling of mountain rain in the air.
Li Shimin was also silent for a long time, as if he was taking care of his mood and thoughts. Finally, he opened his mouth and said, "Mubai, what's the matter with you and Gao Yang?"
"Your Majesty, Weichen and Princess Gaoyang are clear and innocent, and there is nothing else. The princess just did that... It's nothing more than trying to use Weichen to make the final struggle. Qin Mubai bowed his hand calmly.
"I naturally understand this. She is my daughter, and I know her very well. Although such a little trick is shocking, it can only deceive some unreasonable people. Li Shimin's tone was very plain, just like when chatting with Qin Mubai. She said lightly, "However, she said it over and over again that she would rather marry Qin Mubai than marry the house... Why you? Why is it not Changsun, Cheng Huaibi, or Yuchi Baoyun?
"This..." Qin Mubai smiled bitterly, "Your Majesty, I really don't know how to answer this question. In fact, Weichen and Her Royal Highness Princess Gaoyang have only known each other for less than a month, which was the beginning of the last conflict in the imperial study. Your Majesty knows everything that happened during this period. Weichen was just ordered by His Majesty to teach her to play the pipa. Then last time, she was escorted to the Wuwang Mansion by the princess, and then went to the demon girl to play together. There is nothing else."
"But now, this matter has started. My beloved daughter, the princess of the Tang Dynasty, openly refused to marry, and it was still my most powerful minister, the marriage of the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty. The reason for this refusal to marry is that she fell in love with you. If you don't marry, you would rather die. Li Shimin frowned, "Tay what you think. How should this matter end?"
