Chapter 116 The Birth of the Princess
There was a trace of strangeness in his eyes. The man was uncertain about Bai Yan's current attitude for a moment. Although he was frightened, he said, "Someone reported that the prince killed innocent people indiscriminately, and the subordinate came to inquire."
It sounds good. Xia Shangzhou raised his eyebrows and knew something about the person in front of him. He also put down the bowl and chopsticks in his hand. Xia Shangzhou smiled and said to the man, "I don't know how the county official's investigation is going? I just heard that he came to our prince. In case someone framed him, what do you think you should do?
Hearing this, the man was also stunned for a moment. He just heard that his disappointing nephew was killed by a group of outsiders. Although there was no sadness in his heart, he came to the door because of his face. Where did he think about this series of things happening now?
"The subordinate came here to investigate this matter, and I would like to ask you two to cooperate." Arching his hand to the two, the man also said in a low voice.
"Don't check. That man was indeed ordered by me to kill. As for the crime, it is rude to my princess. Do you think it should be killed?" At this time, Bai Yan held the table with one hand and said with a smile, as if it was not a human who had just killed, but a beast.
I didn't expect that Bai Yan was so straightforward to admit it. The man was also speechless for a while, and then said, "Can the prince know that there is a national law and a family rule? Isn't it too hasty to kill a person so rashly?!"
"It's not your turn to give me advice on who I want to kill. Not only you, even today's prime minister can't care about me." Arrogant and extremely arrogant, the people present looked at Bai Yan and had the same idea.
After being stunned for a long time, the man reacted, looked at him deeply and said, "I'm afraid there is nothing else but Prince Shen, who has such great power in Dongran."
A pair of eyes was mixed with an inexplicable meaning. Xia Shangzhou looked at the man with some brains and couldn't help silently giving him a thumbs up in his heart.
"I didn't expect you, a small county official, to know so much about Kyoto. Yes, I am indeed the king of Shen as you said." Bai Yan no longer concealed this and admitted it generously to the man.
"I have seen the prince." Seeing Bai Yan admit that the man also saluted Bai Yan. You should know that the gap between them is not a single official and a prince. If it's just an ordinary prince, it's okay, but it's another matter if he is facing Prince Shen.
The prince is divided into a prince and a prince. The prince refers to the prince who is related to the emperor, and the prince is different. Because there is no blood relationship, his identity is naturally not as noble as the prince, but Bai Yan is an outsider, and no one even knows why and why the emperor is so favored his legs are paralyzed. Waste.
With a smile on the corners of his mouth, Bai Yan said, "Do you have any comments now?"
"No." He arched his hand to Bai Yan again, and his attitude now is simply different from that just now.
nodded, and Bai Yan continued, "If not, please step back." He dared not disrespect Bai Yan's order, and the man arched his hand to Bai Yan and walked away in dismay.
"I didn't expect that the prince would scare others away with just one name." Looking at the back of the man with great interest, Xia Shangzhou smiled and said with a smile in his tone.
Lacing Xia Shangzhou's left hand, Bai Yan pulled over someone who was still talking sarcastic words. One hand was naturally placed on Xia Shangzhou's waist and said, "Isn't it good for me to be so powerful?"
There was a strange light in his eyes. Xia Shangzhou said with a smile, "Okay, of course, okay, the prince is awesome. Naturally, as a princess, I am also powerful. Of course, I hope that the prince is the most powerful."
Reaching out and flicking Xia Shangzhou's forehead, Bai Yan couldn't help saying with a doting look, "Why do you like to speak so harshly? Can't you say it to me well?"
spitting out his tongue at Bai Yan, Xia Shangzhou said, "Yes, of course, didn't I say it well?"
With a sigh, Bai Yan said, "It's a nice day today. Why don't we go to the hill next to the city? It's okay to stay in the same place all the time."
Hearing Bai Yan's words, Xia Shangzhou naturally had no problem and said, "Okay, let's go there."
Hearing this, the corners of Bai Yan's mouth were also full of smiles and said to Shuiyue, who was waiting beside him, "Go and prepare. I will go to Xiangshan Temple with the princess later."
Seeing this, Shuiyue took Jinghua down to prepare. They ate something and began to move towards Xiangshan Temple.
The weather in early autumn was not cool. The two got off the carriage at the foot of the mountain and walked leisurely on Xiangshan Mountain, holding small hands. Bai Yan said to Xia Shangzhou, "Xia, I heard that there is a senior monk on Xiangshan Temple. Let him show you how his fate is."
stunned for a moment, Xia Shangzhou's smile was a little stiff, and then said, "What a fate? Those are all deceptive things, and the prince actually believes it."
"It's just a game. What's the matter?" He turned around and knocked on Xia Shangzhou's forehead, and the doting color in Bai Yan's tone was self-evident.
Reached out and touched his forehead. Xia Shangzhou said, "Okay, just think of it as fun." Although he was afraid that the man would recognize his identity, Xia Shangzhou still answered.
Besides, what if it is seen through? Still can't change the fact that the real Xia Shangzhou has died and replaced her.
For this purpose again, the two walked a little faster. It took them two hours to reach the top of the mountain. Because it was in the off-season, there were not too many people in Xiangshan Temple.
"Two benefactors, please. The abbot has been waiting for you for more than a long time." As soon as the two stepped into the gate of Xiangshan Temple, a man in monk's clothes greeted them and said to them.
stunned for a moment, Bai Yan couldn't help but say with a trace of fun, "Wait for us? How did the abbot know that we were coming here?
"It's not clear that it's a poor monk, but I know that the abbot has something to say and let the poor monk wait here." Bowing to the two, the monk said to them with a kind face.
looked at each other, and Bai Yan also said with a smile, "Then ask the monk to lead the way."
After saying that, the monk also turned around and walked in one direction. When the two saw this, they did not stop. Following the monk's footsteps, they came to a quiet place.
"Two, please." He made an invitation gesture to the two, and the man's face was still smiling.
Looking back at Xia Shang's eyes, Bai Yan reached out and grabbed her little hand, raised her leg and walked in.
Not long, the two saw an old man with white flowers sitting with his back to them, but there was an inexplicable feeling in his old sasuma.
"The younger generation is disturbing." Looking at each other, Bai Yan arched his hand to the man, with a trace of respect on his face.
Hearing the sound, the man also slowly turned around, and a wrinkled face was exposed in front of the two people. With a smile on his face, the abbot said, "You are coming, please sit down." After saying that, he made a gesture of invitation to the two of them, facing opposite him.
Deeply glanced at him, Bai Yan still held Xia Shangzhou's little hand in his hand and took her to sit aside.
"I don't know what the abbot came to us two?" With a smile on the corners of his mouth, Bai Yan said to the old man in front of him.
also smiled at the two people, and the abbot said, "Prince Shen, we don't talk about some things. I just want to ask the prince what he plans to do after?"
Hearing the abbot's words, Bai Yan couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and then said with a smile, "Are you going to? I'm sorry for my ignorance. I don't know what the abbot means.
"Don't pretend to be stupid. Isn't the emperor going to do something to you like this?" The smile on the abbot's face did not diminish, and he said to Bai Yan as a matter of course.
The smile at the corners of his mouth stiffened, and Bai Yan said, "I don't know how the abbot knew about this?"
Looking at the white banquet with a wary face, the abbot couldn't help laughing and said, "Prince, don't be nervous. The old man just looked at the stars. The details are not very clear, just a first glimpse."
"Since the abbot knows all about it, what did he ask me to do? I'm afraid it's not just about drinking tea. The vigilance in his heart did not relax. Bai Yan smiled at the abbot, but the smile was mixed with other meanings.
"In fact, the purpose of Laoqi's is very simple. Laoqi first peeped at the stars and saw a lot of things, especially the two stars representing the prince and princess. I believe that the pattern of this time will change soon. Laoqi would like to ask the prince to make a request." His hands were folded, and the abbot had a kind opening on his face.
Growing his eyebrows gently, Bai Yan said, "Abbot, please."
"Please let go of our pure land at the time of chaos." Bowing to Bai Yan, the abbot's face was also a little serious.
"You mean you want us to protect Xiangshan Temple as much as possible? Is that so?" At that time, Xia Shangzhou also opened his mouth and said to the abbot.
The abbot looked at Xia Shangzhou when he heard the sound, and a trace of inexplicable meaning flashed in his eyes, saying, "That's what Lao Na means."
The heartbeat accelerated when the old monk saw it, Xia Shangzhou pretended to be calm and said, "You know, once the war is extinguished, we will not have the final say in the situation."
"It's okay, I just need a word from the prince and the princess." Bowing to the two again, the abbot said with a smile.
"The abbot's words are for this, and the king will not shirk it. He promised the abbot." Since then, Bai Yan smiled and agreed to the abbot's request.
Seeing this, the abbot said, "In exchange, Lao Na recommended a talent to the prince. The man lives in a small village not far from here. As for his appearance and so on, I believe that as long as the prince goes to that place, he can recognize him at a glance."
There was a trace of light in his eyes, and Bai Yan also understood what the abbot meant and smiled, "Oh? Then thank the abbot first."
waved his hand to the two, and the abbot said, "Actually, about the princess, I don't know if there is a saying or wrong."
His heart sank slightly. Xia Shangzhou also grasped his dress tightly and bit his lower lip, but turned to Bai Yan on the side and said, "Prince, can I completely trust you?"
Unexpectedly, Xia Shangzhou suddenly asked himself this question. Bai Yan couldn't help but be stunned and then said with a smile, "Isn't Xia still unaware of my heart for such a long time?"
Hearing this, Xia Shangzhou was also stunned, smiled bitterly and said, "Is the abbot about my identity?"
nodded, and the abbot said, "The old man looked at the stars and saw a star in the east shining extremely. Although it was only for a moment, it was enough to explain many things, such as what the princess is now."
