Chang'an romantic

Chapter 346 Linger does not die, Mu Bai dies

In the Taiji Palace Hall of the Imperial City, there are colorful soldiers standing with lanterns, burning incense several feet on the altar, and everything is ready for the wedding. The civil and military officials are also entering the hall one after another to prepare for the ceremony.

The carriages and horses to welcome the relatives have not entered the palace for a long time. Seeing that the auspicious time of the ceremony is coming, most people are a little anxious.

In Chang'an City, many people who heard the news of the wedding of Princess Gaoyang today also gathered around the market early and prepared to watch the excitement. It was already a sea of people, directly from the Rosefinch Gate to the Qin Mansion of the son-in-law.

Soon, even the emperor Li Shimin and Yin Defei came, and the dragon robe sat under the Hua Gai. Seeing this scene, Li Shimin couldn't help frowning: "Why haven't you come yet? Are you going to miss the hour? What does Zongzheng Temple do? Chu Suiliang, you can ride a fast horse to have a look and urge.

"Yes." Chu Suiliang answered and left.

Chu Suiliang rode out of the palace and came out of the Zhuque Gate. From afar, he heard a burst of laughter from the West City Street. Many people crowded together, and the water could not be drained. They shouted one after another, "Let the groom come out to see the guests."

The matchmaker is Li Daozong, the king of Jiangxia. He wore a big red flower robe and rode a team of armor to open the way. He smiled and arched his hand to the passers-by and said, "My friends, you have also eaten the candy and sent the fruit. Please raise your hand and make a step? Don't miss the good time!"

"That won't work! How can the groom hide in the sedan chair? Only the bride has always been like this, right? Besides, Qin's son-in-law is a military officer. How can he not come out on a high-headed horse to make us happy?

"Ha ha, the villagers forgive me. This is the custom of the old Qin family in Shandong Province. The Duke of Yi made a special order to make such an arrangement. Xiao Wang can't make the decision, and the son-in-law can't caress his father!" Li Daozong said with a smile, "It's convenient for you. Let the welcome team go there. The auspicious time is coming. Don't wait for the bride and the VIPs!"

The crowd burst into laughter, but they didn't allow it.

Chu Suiliang saw this scene and immediately came forward and said, "Your Majesty, how can you be so slow? Your Majesty has urged you, and the auspicious time is coming.

Then the crowd laughed and scattered a road, allowing the king of Jiangxia to lead the "Qin Mubai" sedan chair.

Li Daozong took a long breath and passed by with a smile.

Chu Sui's conscience was as delicate as his hair. Seeing that Li Daozong seemed to look different, he hurriedly patted the horse and whispered, "Your Majesty, what are you worried about?"

"What's the big happy event? What are you worried about? Let's go, don't talk too much!" Li Daozong patted his horse and moved forward.

A cloud of doubt rose from Chu Sui's conscience. He stared at the groom's sedan chair and didn't ask much, so he had to keep up.

When the welcoming team entered the rosefinch gate, Li Daozong hurriedly called Chu Suiliang into a pair of trousers and whispered, "It's a bad thing!"

"Oh?" Chu Suiliang's face was stunned: Sure enough!

"You are fast, hurry up and report it to your majesty first. Just say... Mu Bai, it's missing! Let Your Majesty find a way to calm the situation. Just now in Chang'an City, Xiao Wang finally suppressed the situation and did not make a fool of himself. There are many literary and military people waiting for Mu Bai in the Taiji Palace. Don't make a big deal!"

"This! ..." Chu Suiliang was suddenly a little dumbfounded. "How did the groom disappear at such a juncture? Don't say it's full of literature and martial arts. I'm afraid the whole world is staring at this brown marriage!"

"Let's not gossip. You can report it to your majesty first." Li Daozong waved his hand and said, "Go quickly! Xiao Wang is here to delay the time and let the welcome team slip around the imperial city, which can be delayed for a while. Let Your Majesty send someone to find Qin Mubai!"

"If you say so, is it... Qin Mubai is in the palace?"

"Go and say it, and your majesty will know what to do!"

"Okay, I'll go right away!"

Chu Suiliang was also smart. He did not take the Taiji Palace Avenue, but went around the Taiji Palace from the path of the palace. He asked a small eunuch to invite Li Shimin, who was sitting in the main hall of the Taiji Palace.

Li Shimin was already very unhappy. When he saw Chu Suiliang's face, he scolded, "What's wrong with Qin Mubai? The auspicious time has arrived and hasn't appeared yet. Is it that he doesn't want to get married like this?"

"Your Majesty is angry!" Chu Suiliang hurriedly retreated and whispered eagerly in Li Shimin's ear.

After hearing this, Li Shimin immediately raised his eyebrows: "Is there such a thing?"

"The King of Jiangxia did say so. Presumably, he is not a talker!"

"How can that be!" Li Shimin was suddenly so angry that he bit his teeth. "Under my eyelids, someone dares to take the son-in-law!"

"Your Majesty is angry. According to the Qin family, Qin's son-in-law suddenly disappeared after being declared into the palace by His Majesty last night. In this way, most of Qin's son-in-law may be... trapped in the palace!" Chu Suiliang said.

"What? How is this possible!" Li Shimin was shocked and angry and said, "Yesterday I did announce that he went to the palace to inform him about the victory in Lanzhou, so that he could get married at ease. After that, I had a few drinks with him. I drank a little more, so I sent him home. I didn't arrest him. Is it still a child slave? This is impossible!"

"Your Majesty, why don't you announce the King of Jin? You will know as soon as you ask?"

"Come on, pass on to Li Zhi!"

Li Zhibin was also preparing to attend the wedding in Taiji Palace, and Shaoqing called him. Li Shimin split his head and asked, "Child slave, I ask you - did you send your teacher home yesterday, did you send someone to your home?"

"No, no." Li Zhi rarely saw Li Shimin so angry, and he was a little nervous and panicked, "I sent Dong Hua and Zhao Ming, two personal eunuchs, to prepare a carriage and horse to send him home. What's the matter, something happened to the teacher?"

"Where is Dong Hua and Zhao Ming now?"

"I went to see someone off yesterday, but I haven't seen anyone come back so far."

"What?" Li Shimin suddenly stared at his eyes and scolded angrily, "You idiot! Why don't you do things all the time? It's okay if you didn't send Qin Mubai to the house in person. It's safe to send someone to send him home. How do you do things if you don't get anything in return?

A few thunderous shouts scared Li Zhi to tremble all over and immediately knelt down and said in panic, "Father, forgive me! I'm going to look for Dong and Zhao, looking for a teacher!"

"Go quickly! - Wait, you can't do anything, Chu Suiliang, you go with him!"

"Yes." Chu Suiliang agreed, came forward to help Li Zhi up and was ready to leave.

At this moment, the two eunuchs broke their steps like ants in a hot pot and broke in in panic. Li Shimin was angry. Seeing that the two eunuchs broke in headless and lost their mind, he was even more angry and was about to shout angrily. At first sight, they were the two most stable eunuchs who had always been in charge of the court. He held down his anger in doubt and asked, "What's the panic? There is no body!"

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the big deal is not good!" The head of the Neiyuan Supervisor Eunuch Song's face turned white. He came forward with a trembling mouth and whispered eagerly.

Halfway through hearing this, Li Shimin's eyes almost straightened, and his face turned red and white.

Before General Manager Song finished speaking, Li Shimin screamed, raised his hands and fell down.

"Ah! Your Majesty!!!"

A room of people is in a mess...

After the time of a fragrance.

Just as the master of ceremonies on the altar was about to shout the voice of "The good time has arrived", Chu Suiliang immediately appeared and stopped him and said, "Just now, your majesty suddenly suffered from an emergency and shouted and fainted. For this reason, the ceremony will take the sand for the time being, and then choose a date!"

"Ah!!!"

The Taiji Hall suddenly blew up!

"His Majesty suddenly fainted?! This...how can this be born!"

"Guys, don't panic!" Changsun Wuji stood up first, pressed his hands, and everyone was silent.

Changsun Wuji took a look at it with satisfaction and said, "I am most familiar with your majesty. I know that although your majesty has always been a dragon body, you have hereditary syncope. Maybe I've been tired a lot recently, and I've been waiting for too long today to blow too much cold wind, so I feel un well and fainted temporarily, and I'm expected to be all right. We are all ministers of the society, and we should put the overall situation first. Your Majesty's fainting should not be spread, so as not to disturb the people and cause unnecessary trouble.

"What the eldest grandson said is right, and what he said is right." Everyone is in harmony.

"At present, Your Majesty has fainted. The wedding of the princess and her son-in-law can never be presided over without your majesty. Therefore, the ceremony had to be temporarily postponed. It doesn't matter. Good things take a long time! Nowadays, you should go to the Taiji Hall first, but you can't leave the palace, so you wait for the news in the government gates of the imperial city. Maybe your majesty will wake up again later. Today is an auspicious day, and there are many good days. Wait for Si Tianjian to choose another auspicious time.

"Everything depends on the instructions of the eldest grandson." The generals had no objection, and they were dispersing one after another, and no one dared to whisper.

Seeing this scene, Changsun Wuji secretly breathed a long breath and looked at Chu Suiliang. Chu Suiliang gave him a look, and the two of them were tacit. After the officials dispersed one after another, they hurried to the bedroom of Taiji Palace.

Li Shimin lay flat on the imperial couch, his eyes closed and his face turned pale. Two imperial doctors waited around the imperial couch and cut their pulses. Chu Suiliang and Changsun Wuji entered the room and asked about the condition first. When they learned that your majesty was fine, they were relieved. The two of them thought to their hearts that the emperor was resourceful and resourceful. If it hadn't been for the sudden fall of his illness, he would have postponed the wedding for this reason. If the wedding cannot be held without the groom's appearance, the scandal will spread out, and the world will be in chaos.

The two of them retreated and knelt in front of the imperial couch.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty." Changsun Wuji called softly.

After calling more than ten times in a row, Li Shimin woke up leisurely, turned his head slightly to see the left and right two, closed his eyes, and let out a long sigh, as if there was infinite melancholy and resentment.

"What on earth happened?" Changsun Wuji asked softly.

Li Shimin raised his hand and pointed to Chu Suiliang: "Ask him. I can't say it."

"Ah?" Changsun Wuji couldn't help but be shocked.

Chu Suiliang arched his hand and was about to say that Li Shimin shouted violently, "Don't say it in front of me!"

"Yes..."

The two had to retreat outside Pingfeng and whispered for a while. After listening to this, Changsun Wuji almost fell to the ground.

"That's so good!" He couldn't help shouting.

"What's good about it?" Li Shimin roared angrily, "Kill it! Kill them all! Don't leave one, chop it into mashed meat to feed the dog! I don't want to see anyone anymore! Kill anyone who knows it!"

Changsun Wuji and Chu Suiliang suddenly felt cold all over! - We are all insiders!

The emperor, who has always been the most important and never talks lightly, is really so excited today that he can say such cruel words!

The two looked at each other in cold sweat, walked gently to Li Shimin's bed, and knelt left and right. Changsun Wuji whispered, "Your Majesty, something is wrong. Why don't you find out and ask again?"

"Tight check!" Li Shimin scolded angrily, "No matter how to investigate, no matter what the truth is, it is also my family ugliness! No need to check, kill!"

"So, is it wrong to be tricked by others?" Chu Suiliang's cold words made Li Shimin's expression suddenly freeze.

"Tighty?" In anger, Li Shimin finally found a little square inch. He reached out and raised Sun Wuji to pick him up a little pillow, stared at Chu Suiliang and said, "Who would be so bold and dare to calculate my son-in-law in my harem? It was Qin Mubai who strayed into the court after getting drunk. After drinking, he did that pig and dog thing. There were also the corpses of four eunuchs at the scene, namely, Dong Zhao, who sent him out of the palace, and the eunuch order of the door guard of the court. As Qin Mubai, they dared not obey what to order these four people to do. At the time of the incident, the four people had to stop it. With Qin Mubai's skills, it was easier to kill these four eunuchs without any blood. What can I say about catching the adultery in bed now?

"Your Majesty, the more reasonable things are, the more unreasonable there are." Chu Suiliang was not in a hurry to argue. He whispered softly, "Your Majesty, please think that when Qin Mubai was in charge of Baiqi, he knew all the big and small things in the harem, and most of the concubines of the harem also knew him. Even if Qin Mubai did something after drinking for a while, why did the two concubines sleep with him until dawn and did not escape afterwards? Besides, there are thousands of palace maids and eunuchs living in the court. They can also be separated by walls and ears across three or five rooms. How can there be no movement for murder and treachery, but it is not until dawn that someone catches adultery in bed. Isn't it too coincidental?

After listening to this, Li Shimin raised his eyebrows and meditated for a long time.

Changsun Wuji thought for a moment and said, "At this time, you can't spread the matter. Be sure to block the harem and not allow anyone to go in and out. There is news from the outside world that your majesty suddenly fainted due to the wind and cold, and the wedding ordered Si Tianjian to choose another auspicious day. In this way, you can hide the public for a while, and your majesty will have time to find out this matter again.

Li Shimin thought for a moment and nodded slowly: "It's so good. The auxiliary machine, the place of civil and military officials, is up to you to appease. After dispersing them, the Beijing officials returned to the foreign official's residence and held another wedding for a few days. Chu Suiliang, go and invite Fang Xuanling to come.

"Yes." The two agreed and retreated separately.

Li Shimin was alone on the imperial couch. His painful eyes closed and knocked on his forehead with his fists. He shook his head repeatedly and said to himself, "What's going on? Li Jia, Qin Mubai, Linger, are they cursed? The marriage of this pair of children can be so full of twists and turns, alas!!!"

Not long after, Fang Xuanling came.

Fang Mou Du Du Du Duan, Du Ruhui has gone. Li Shimin has always been glad that he has Fang Xuanling, the most resourceful arm, by his side. Now that such a thing has happened, involving Jia Chou, he only dares to talk to Fang Xuanling, the most calm and experienced minister. Although Changsun Wuji is an inner brother, he lacks wisdom; although Chu Suiliang is a confidant, he is young and does not know anything about the harem. Only Fang Xuanling was resourceful and deeply gloomy about all things in the harem. In his early years, when Empress Changsun was alive, he was also the think tank of Empress Changsun.

Now in such a case, I just listen to his opinion.

Fang Xuanling saluted and was given a seat by Li Shimin. He was as calm as ever. Even if something big happened, it was difficult to see anything strange on the old face.

"Your Majesty called me to come. What's the matter?"

"Xuan Ling... This time, although I am still alive, I have no face to live." Li Shimin shook his head and sighed.

"Why did Your Majesty say this?" Fang Xuanling asked softly.

Li Shimin looked a little embarrassed and ashamed to talk about it. He briefly told Fang Xuanling about the matter.

After listening to it, Fang Xuanling was indifferent.

Now Li Shimin was surprised. He said, "Does Xuanling know it for a long time? You are not shocked by such a shocking thing."

Fang Xuanling's expression stagnated for a moment. He arched his hand and whispered, "Your Majesty, not only did I know it for a long time, but also..."

"What else?" Li Shimin was very surprised.

"I also know the truth of the matter and the context. And he has already captured the real murderer in his hand.

"What?" Li Shimin was shocked and got up from the imperial couch. He said in disbelief, "Xuan Ling, this matter is not a play, and you can't talk about it!"

Fang Xuanling's face was like dead ashes. He bowed a long bow, then knelt down, put his forehead to the ground, and said, "Your Majesty, the real murderer is Fang Xuanling. Please be punished!"

Li Shimin suddenly became petrified, and all his expressions were frozen and his body stiffened.

You stand, I kneel, and the picture is like a fixed frame.

"Xuan Ling, I'll say it again! This matter is not a joke, and you can't talk about it!"

"I have been following your majesty for more than 20 years, and I have never dared to bully you. Qin Mubai was framed. And this case is a serious crime, and it is Fang Xuanling himself. Your Majesty, please be punished!" After saying that, Fang Xuanling took off the black gauze hat from his head and put it aside, and knelt down again with his head on the ground.

With a "plop", Li Shimin was really dizzy and fell heavily on the imperial couch.

In the harem, in the house where the crime was committed.

The imperial army armor surrounded more than ten floors inside and outside. The door was closed. The bodies of the four eunuchs in the room had not been cleaned up, and the room was full of the smell of wine and blood. The two "victimized" concubines have been taken away by the eunuchs in the court and taken care of separately. Qin Mubai sat alone in the room.

Staring at the "Autumn Moon Royal Case Fragrant Picture" by Wang Lide, a court painter on the wallboard, Qin Mubai did not move like a clay sculpture.

It has happened, and it is useless to regret it. At this moment, it is to find a way to live.

After waking up, Qin Mubai understood what he had done. The inner library is empty. Yesterday night and the two coquettish foxes, I don't know how many times the phoenix fell upside down, and my legs were weak.

However, he didn't remember the details at all. He didn't even know how he was here.

Obviously, I was in someone else's way yesterday. It is very likely that it was caused by being drugged and then severely **.

In any case, it is an indisputable fact that he gave the concubines of the two Wude emperors.

Li Shimin's fake mother let herself give it... Every time she thinks of this, Qin Mubai feels a lot of pressure and has a headache.

He thought about his situation and felt that the worst situation was probably that he was cut into tens of millions to feed the bastards in the Taiye pool, and then the Qin family was full of old and young. Next, it may be the martyrdom of Princess Gaoyang. Wu Mei Niang is widowed or remarried. She is scolded by the world. Although the bones are not there, she will be killed by the knife and the corpse. Qin Mubai has been in history for thousands of years...

In the end, I will feel better if I wiped my neck with a knife now.

However, Qin Mubai has never been a person who gives up easily and will end his life.

Now that you have prepared for the worst, why don't you try your best to try it?

If you fight, you may not succeed. If you don't fight, you will die without a place to die!

......

The four bodies were frozen there. Qin Mubai turned his head and looked at them, with a little impulse to wake them up and ask the truth.

"I don't know, what is Linger doing now? They put me under house arrest, and I don't know what to do? At this time, the emperor should have known. It's time to count, and it's time for my wedding. I don't know what will happen..." Qin Mubai said to himself and laughed at himself indifferently, "Damn it, my life is almost gone, and I'm worried about salty radishes! Fortunately, I am familiar with these eunuchs in the court, Baiqi and Jinwuwei. Otherwise, I'm afraid I would have been dismembered by a knife just now! Now every second I live an extra time, it's picked up.

At this moment, there was a noise outside the house, and the unique sound of iron armor shaking, which made the armors surrounded by the hut seem to move together.

Someone whispered, "Why is Your Highness here?"

"Why can't I come? You are my husband!" Princess Gaoyang's voice is indifferent, arrogant and arrogant!

"Your Highness, please forgive me! At this moment, no one can see the son-in-law!" It was Qin Tong's voice.

"Brother! It's your third brother inside!" Princess Gaoyang scolded sharply, "Do you know what you're talking about?"

"I know." Qin Tong's voice was full of unbearability, anxiety and anger. He said in a low voice, "But at this moment, I am the deputy envoy of Baiqi first, and then his brother. If he commits a crime, I will not spare him! Even if the princess comes, I can't let the princess in!"

"What did you say?"

"Just like, Mu Bai didn't let you enter the palace to disturb your majesty's nap! Today, unless the princess blades Qin Tong and steps on Qin Tong's body, Qin Tong can't let the princess in!"

With a "bang", the advantage comes out of the sheath!

"Your Highness, don't do anything stupid!"

Qin Mubai's heart tightened. Of course, he knew what Princess Gaoyang had done.

Dressed in a bloody engagement robe, she stabbed a short dagger in her neck, which was already bleeding.

The red blood flows down from the snow-like pink neck, which is a little more red and dazzling than the wedding robe.

"Make way, or collect the body for me, you choose!"

"Your Highness, don't force me!"

"Qin Tong, you are still the son of the Qin family!" Princess Gaoyang scolded loudly, "I, Li Ling'er, and my surname is Li. For the sake of your third brother, I don't want to do this princess, and I don't want my life. Can't you give up the position of deputy envoy?"

The whole audience was silent.

Doran!

"Bum!! Pang bang!" With a few loud noises, Qin Tong smashed his helmet and knife on the ground and shouted angrily, "Get out of the way! Ben will accompany the princess and enter together! But if you want to do big and small things, you will do your best!"

The armored soldiers had been waiting for Qin Tong's words for a long time, and it flashed faster than he thought.

Princess Gaoyang threw the dagger and walked towards the house with an extra-long wedding dress.

When she and Qin Tong pushed the door and came in, Qin Mubai was still sitting at the table, motionless. He just looked sideways at Princess Gaoyang and smiled slightly: "Big brother, Linger, you are here."

"Brother, close the door."

It seems that in an instant, Li Linger, the princess of Gaoyang, became an upright man!

With firm eyes and a decisive look, he gave orders to Qin Tong, just like a general who commanded thousands of troops and horses galloping on the battlefield.

Qin Tongyi closed the door, looked at the room, and then glanced at his third brother. He sighed shyly and angrily, and couldn't bear to turn his head.

"What's so lamentable? Mu Bai is innocent! Mu Bai will be fine, and the Qin family will be fine. We are still husband and wife, and this wedding will still be held!" Princess Gaoyang almost word by word, and said the following sentence categorically:

"Linger is not dead, Mu Bai is dead!"
