Chapter 15 Master-servant Friendship
Liang Shaojun raised his eyebrows and had a soft color between his eyebrows. Without urging, he only nodded and praised, "It's only been a few days that you have been able to investigate these many situations. It's really rare. It's worthy of my most powerful helper."
Li Yuan was very uncomfortable by his peaceful eyes and praise, and his head unconsciously lowered: "Lord, this is what I should do." After stopping, seeing that Liang Shaojun did not mean to speak, it was clear that he wanted to continue to listen to his report. Li Yuan did not dare to hesitate any more and whispered, "The last general also found out that Bixi and Xu Baolin are cousins."
Liang Shaojun didn't seem to be surprised, just staring at the winding dragon saliva in the room thoughtfully. A light smile did not reach the bottom of his eyes.
Li Yuan continued: "It goes without saying that the real identity of the tourmaline is already known by the Lord."
"Yes, she is a royal family in Yongliang. What can it have to do with the people of Chu?" Liang Shaojun curled his lips.
"Her mother is said to be from the State of Chu, and it is her uncle who died in vain."
"What's going on? Have you figured it out?"
"How is the intermediate process? It's an old thing. It's not easy to find out all the details, but it's certain that Xu's house has nothing to do with Bixi. Most of the people who worked in Xu's house have been silenced. According to the maid, Xu Jiao was selected to the palace, but she didn't know why she was replaced by Bixi. Xu Jiao once held a grudge against this, and soon after, something happened to the Xu family. As the Lord said, Xu Yuanwai is just a royal merchant. Even if he has great courage, how dare he poison the palace? However, the princess who was still a princess at that time was poisoned by eating the things provided by Xu's family. Many palace people in her palace were also poisoned and could avoid heavy examinations in the inner palace. Except for close people, others may not be able to do it. Therefore, the last general guessed that the poison may have been released by Bixi, or someone pretended to be under the hands of Bixi to remove the Xu family. Judging from all the signs, it is impossible to rule out that everything has been premeditated. It seems that it is just to cover the blue seal's smooth entry into the palace and his identity will not be exposed.
Liang Shaojun raised the corners of his mouth and smiled and asked with interest, "Then why do you think they keep a tourmaline?"
"The last general thought that Bixi's various motives were more noteworthy than Xu Baolin. She is a princess of a country. Why is she willing to be a slave and a maidservant? And her identity has not been exposed in the State Palace of Chu for so many years, which shows that there must be a force protecting her, and this force is likely to collude with Yongliang and the Turks.
Liang Shaojun nodded: "That's right. Do you think Bixi and Xu Baolin are really cousins?
"The final general is not sure. Judging from various signs, it seems unlikely. The role played by the Xu family is more similar to that of an intermediary. After using it, it is worthless and ruthlessly abandoned.
Liang Shaojun casually took a cup of tea, took a sip, and said leisurely, "It's really complicated, but with these tricks, they can't find any waves. Keep staring at it. If there is any wind blowing, please report it at any time.
"Yes." Li Yuan responded respectfully.
Liang Shaojun looked up and looked out of the window. A sickle moon was hanging in the sky, which was particularly swaying in the sky framed by the window. There were a few stars around, making the night particularly quiet.
"Come and accompany me in the next game." Liang Shaojun said that it was still early, and he also needed to relax.
"Yes."
Li Yuan answered and went to find the chess pieces on the chessboard and put them on several cases of Han Baiyu. Liang Shaojun has ordered someone to light new wax and install it on a high candlestick. The huge palace is bright and the candlelight is swaying.
The two held black and white chess pieces, and the chessboard was laid out, and a fight kicked off. When you come and go, the chess pieces fall like a walking horse. With less than a cup of tea, Li Yuan has been frowning and scratching his ears and cheeks. His white chess is obviously at a downwind and being forced to retreat by the blacks. He stared at the chessboard, and the white one between his middle finger and index finger had not fallen for a long time.
Liang Shaojun was not in a hurry, leisurely sibling tea while waiting for him to think, smiling.
Li Yuan thought about it, and the chess pieces in his hand rose and fell several times. After all, they had never fallen and were still hesitating.
Liang Shaojun finally couldn't help laughing when he saw his thoughtful look.
Li Yuan couldn't help but be embarrassed and finally fell.
As soon as his hand got up, Liang Shaojun fell down, ending Liyuan's lingering breath. Li Yuan was relieved and wiped his forehead.
Liang Shaojun looked at the chess game and said calmly, "You have lost your level today. You are impetuous. How can you be calm as before? But what's on your mind?"
"No. It's the master's skill of chess, and the last general is willing to bow down.
The flattery was also meticulous. Liang Shaojun looked at his pale face and almost laughed again.
"In the past, when I played chess with you, even if I lost, it was not as fast as today. Say that you have something on your mind, but you still don't admit it. Liang Shaojun is rarely interested today, so he has to make fun of him.
"Uh... Sure enough, I can't hide it from the Lord." Li Yuan whispered and looked at the prince, "Do you want another game?"
"No need. If you tell me what's on your mind, maybe I can give you some advice. Liang Shaojun suggested with great interest.
Li Yuan couldn't help muttering in his heart: Other things are fine, but emotional things are not as good as the same mule as the Lord.
Looking at Li Yuan's bitter face, Liang Shaojun suddenly thought of something and couldn't hang up. He coughed twice and took a sip of tea.
"Which girl do you like? You might as well say it. As long as the girl is not married, I have a way to promise her to you. Liang Shaojun patted his chest.
"Lord, where do you want to go..." Li Yuan was embarrassed.
"Isn't it?" Liang Shaojun knocked on the white jade table with his knuckles, smiling on his lips and a narrow ridicule in his eyes.
Li Yuan suddenly sighed and didn't say anything for a long time. He only looked at the curved moon outside the window and said for a long time, "Today is my mother's birthday. I haven't been back to visit her for many years, and I don't know how she is doing now..." After that, she couldn't help being sentimental and lowered her voice a lot.
Liang Shaojun was a little stunned and said, "I have never heard you mention this matter. On that day, I said I would take you back to the palace and asked you if you still have family, but why didn't you answer? I thought you were alone and had no relatives in the world..."
"Going back is about a dead end. If you hadn't met the Lord, Li Yuan would have been in a different place that day, and there would be no life. Liyuan can't repay the life-saving grace of the Lord as a cow and a horse in his life. When he said this, Li Yuan suddenly knelt down and was earnest and moved.
"Why did they chase you?" Liang Shaojun asked and got up to help him up.
Li Yuan squeezed his lips and didn't answer, and his face was struggling.
Looking at his embarrassed look, Liang Shaojun couldn't bear to ask again and changed the topic: "Why didn't you tell me earlier that today is your mother's birthday? If you had said it earlier, I would definitely let you take a break so that you can go back to reunite with your mother and enjoy family happiness." It's a little reproachable, but it sounds very kind.
Li Yuan is very grateful: "Thank you for your kindness. It's just that the situation is complicated and the harem is chaotic, so how can I delay the great cause of the Lord because of a little private matter? Li Yuan only hopes that the Lord will clear the obstacles as soon as possible and achieve a great undertaking. At the end of the year, he will be successful and retreat and wander around the world.
Liang Shaojun's face suddenly darkens and sighed faintly, "You always..." He said three words, but couldn't continue. He couldn't help sighing again, "Well, it's not early. Go back and rest early. I've been exhausted recently."
"Yes." Li Yuan bowed and wanted to retreat.
Before arriving at the door, I heard the prince say, "It's a little hot. Don't cover the wound on your neck. It's easy to fure. I'm afraid that her dagger is poisoned, so it won't be better if you don't ask the doctor to treat it. Go back quickly. I have sent someone to call the doctor to wait for you.
"Thank you Lord!" Li Yuan turned around gratefully and solemnly hugged his fist.
"Go quickly." Liang Shaojun waved his hand.
Li Yuan just left.
It was Yeliang Shaojun who thought a lot and toss for a long time before falling asleep.
Mother, this is just a vague concept for him. He had no mother. As soon as he was born, his mother died. He had heard rumors that he had killed her. He had only one mother, and later became a mother. This man, more than ten years after he was taken back to the palace, was her who controlled his life. He can't struggle, resist, can't disobey all her will, whether good or bad, as long as it is applied to him, he has to accept it silently, whether he wants to or not.
She changed his life trajectory.
Without her, maybe he would still be imprisoned in that dark and wet hut, and he would never have a start in his life.
He was also grateful for one time and secretly vowed to repay even if he knotted a grass ring, because the grace of this reconstruction is deeper and higher than the sea and higher than the mountains. If he does not repay, it is better for beasts to be ungrateful. And he did that. He loved her as much as his biological mother, and he did everything she wanted him to do. This also includes hearing that Zhang and his father Zhang Zhen conspired to frame the former prince Liang Shaoyi to indulge in his greedy property and manipulated witchcraft in the palace, but they had to keep quiet, and witnessed the beginning and end of the abolition of the royal brother, and replaced it. He was pushed to the hot seat, which attracted many coveted eyes. He was trapped in the whirlpool of the center of power and took a step deeper. On the contrary, he was a little envious of his eldest brother. Although he was demoted to the fief, he also stayed away from the struggle between right and wrong.
Although he has a strong nature, he does not like to compete with others.
Maybe in the eyes of others, power is an omnipotent good thing, but in his eyes, it is not even as good as dung.
In those gray days, he thought about giving up and wanting to be wayward once, but he still didn't do it.
Sometimes this is the case. The higher you are, the more involuntarily you are.
He had many dreams that night, sometimes it was the situation of his childhood, sometimes it was the angry eyes of the royal brother, sometimes it was the gloomy face of his mother, sometimes it was Li Yuan's firm encouragement, and sometimes it turned into Su Siman's resentful eyes. He thought vaguely in his dream, how good it would be if everything was just a dream...
