Chapter 308: The Secret History of Heyang

The sharp and heavy Tang sword, accompanied by strong inertia, hit the exquisite doors and windows of carved dragons and painted phoenixes. With the sound of rumbling and shattering, the doors and windows of pear blossoms and wood texture were shattered...

The black guards used only one action to turn the originally beautiful embroidery building into devastated, which shows that destruction is always much easier than construction.

After retracting the Tang sword in unison, the black guards were about to rush into the embroidery building...

"Who dares?" A loud shout came. Before he finished speaking, the windows on the second floor opened together, and dozens of powerful crossbows pointed at the people downstairs. The fully armed purple-clothed guards continued to rush down the stairs, protecting the Heyang Princess who was still sitting in peace in the center.

With a contemptuous snorting, Qin Lei sneered: "Gu still says that you are stupid and bold, and you are afraid of death."

A guard brought the fox fur, and Princess Heyang put it on with her naked body, making her pink neck look slender. She only heard her voice slightly stiffly: "Are you treating your sister like this?"

Qin Lei sneered, "Are you just treating your younger brother like this?" He waved his hand, drove away the guard who was protecting him, and lifted his foot into the hall. Looking at the purple-clothed guard who was still vigilantly looking at him, he said coldly: "There is an imperial edict, Princess Heyang will receive the edict."

Princess Heyang frowned, then smiled charmingly again, and knelt down and said, "My son received the order." Seeing that the master knelt down, the guards had to put down their weapons and kneel down.

Qin Lei pulled out the imperial edict from his sleeve and recited loudly: "The Emperor Zhaowu of the Great Qin Dynasty said: I will serve as a model for the heaven and rule the people. My children should also be cautious in their words and actions, be loyal, honest, filial and fraternal. However, there is a daughter named Heyang who is arrogant, domineering, disrespectful to her parents-in-law, and forcing her husband to leave. It is actually a shame for the royal family, so it is not suitable to stay in Zhongdu. Now he is given a mansion to accompany the capital, and he will leave the capital today, and he will not be able to return without an imperial edict. I hope he will refresh his heart and re-cultivate his wife's virtues. He will always meet in the future. I respect this."

Although Princess Heyang was lying on the ground, Qin Lei could not see her face, but when she saw her cooked shrimp-like neck, she knew that she was very angry.

After waiting for a long time, he didn't hear the order of Princess Heyang thanking her. Qin Lei rolled the imperial edict awkwardly, stuffed it back into his sleeve, and said in a deep voice: "You'll withdraw it, I want to say a few words to the emperor."

The purple guards looked at Princess Heyang and saw that she stood up straight, her face had returned to laziness. She stroked a few white fingers casually and said softly: "Get back, men are always more afraid of death than women."

The purple-clothed guards retreated like a tide. Seeing that they retreated, the black-clothed guards also retreated outside the door, but both the black-clothed and the purple-clothed guards were holding crossbows in their hands, staring at them covetously, and maintaining great alertness.

Qin Lei sat down in the mop chair in the hall and faced Princess Heyang from afar.

Princess Heyang chuckled and said, "Why are your brother sitting so far? I'm afraid that your sister will eat you?"

Qin Lei's expression was like the cold winter, and his voice was not emotional: "You wear too little, and it will inevitably be exposed, and you will be indecent."

Princess Heyang laughed and said, "I didn't expect my younger brother to be a gentleman like Liu Xiahui."

Qin Lei said calmly: "Although everyone is not familiar with each other, you'd better put away that look so nasty, which makes people disgusting."

Although Princess Heyang has a wide range of social interactions, others either respect her princess identity or admire her beauty. No matter what identity or how black-hearted she is, she always has to be polite and even humble, but she has never seen Qin Lei as vulgar and direct.

Princess Heyang, with golden branches and jade leaves, was blocked for a long time and couldn't speak. It took a long time to say annoyed: "I can't blame my brother for saying that you lack education. I even thought he was angry, but it turned out to be true."

Qin Lei frowned slightly and said, "Don't be foolish in front of me, you are not qualified." He said softly, "Why do you have to fall into the pit yourself and still want to splash someone else's golden soup?"

Princess Heyang was stunned. She really wanted to provoke Qin Lei’s relationship with the boss. Unexpectedly, this kid didn’t take this trick at all, and she mercilessly exposed her. She suddenly realized that in front of this kid, the three powerful weapons she relied on - identity, beauty and mind, had lost their effect, and she couldn’t help but have a headache.

Ignoring her embarrassment, Qin Lei said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty has an oral order to hand over the royal spy."

Princess Heyang was stunned at first, and her face gradually turned pale. It took a long time to recover. She only heard her angrily laughing and said, "Is it possible?" As she said that, she stretched out her hand and pulled her hair down in front of her, and said quietly, "Do you know what a royal spy is? Have you heard of this name before?"

Qin Lei thought about it and said softly: "I heard it when I was in Northern Qi last year."

Princess Heyang narrowed her big eyes slightly, and asked softly: "Have you heard of it eight years ago?"

Qin Lei thought to himself: 'Eight years ago? I haven't come eight years ago yet, why have I heard of it?' But he was an honest man and shook his head and said: "No." It is said that the royal spy only emerged six or seven years ago.

Princess Heyang tightened the fox fur tightly and said in a low voice: "Of course there are no more, because there were no royal secret spies at that time!" As she said that, she suddenly looked up at Qin Lei, and said with anger: "Eight years ago, our father was really suppressed by the Li family and the Huangfu family. She could only rely on a few eunuchs to secretly find some informants and find out the news outside the palace. She had no ability to build any secret spies."

Qin Lei did not speak, and heard Princess Heyang continue, "One day eight years ago, our father found me..." Thinking of the situation that day, Princess Heyang sneered, "He knew my family affection and righteousness to me. I was only sixteen years old at that time, and I was so simple that I was stupid. He shed blood and tears, and it made sense in a few seconds. I took on this errand that I had done my whole life..." As he said, Heyang's eyes were filled with water vapor, and finally, with a 'click', a drop of crystal tears fell to the ground.

The tears were like beads with broken threads, and they could no longer stop. Princess Heyang ignored it, shook her head slightly, and asked in a trembling voice: "Do you know what he asked me to do?"

Qin Lei nodded and said in a deep voice: "Create a royal spy."

Princess Heyang giggled and said, "I was so stupid and innocent at that time. I just thought that it was my father's trust and expectations for me. No matter how many difficulties I encountered, I must be worthy of this trust. But I didn't expect..." As she said that, she stretched out her fair and slender hands, caught the falling tears, and murmured: "Is there such a cruel father in the world that my sixteen-year-old daughter will forget her longing for the big red dress, move to the gloomy Prince Xin Mansion, and do something shameful secretly?"

Heyang gritted his teeth and smiled bitterly: "Do you know what the imperial edict that my father asked me to move out of the palace at that time?" Qin Lei shook his head in cooperation, and then listened to Heyang saying word by word: "Don't obey the good deeds, ignore the rules of the palace!" The anger burned again, Heyang clenched his pink fists tightly, and his long nails were deeply trapped in the flesh without feeling. She only heard her screaming, "This is so similar to today's imperial edict! Father! Don't you know that such vicious words are simply unbearable to a woman?"

As he said that, he sat upright, looked at Qin Lei with a sneer, and said with a sarcastic look: "For the sake of his so-called 'great cause', he sacrificed his daughter's lifelong happiness, but also insulted her with some ashamed charges. This is your good father, this is your father whom you will save at all costs..."

Qin Lei found that Princess Heyang had very strong language skills. She could use the most precise language to express what she wanted to say. At least Qin Lei felt that Emperor Zhaowu was three points worse than that after hearing her words, although it was not good at all...

In fact, he knew that if he stood from the perspective of Emperor Zhaowu and portrayed Heyang as a woman who was angry and resentful, she could avoid many unnecessary troubles and be beneficial to intelligence work. However, this method was too heartless and was simply exchanged for her daughter's life.

But he would not express any opinions, because he had nothing to do with him in the past, and he and the original proton did not owe anyone to anyone, and there was no need to worry about their grudges and revenge. So he just asked politely: "What about it later?"

Princess Heyang had obviously entered the alley and didn't care what Qin Lei said. Her eyes looked into the distance through the broken window lattice, and seemed to look at the passing past, and her voice became erratic: "Later? Later, I used that little limited support and worked hard to manage it in a bleak manner, but that was indeed the happiest day I have in these years."

Qin Lei saw that the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, and obviously recalled something happy. "When I was busy around, I met a martial arts practitioner who went to Beijing to take the exam. We fell in love with each other soon...we loved each other." The man was Zhao Chengsi, which was a well-known secret. Qin Lei saw that Heyang's cheeks turned pink, and he looked very satisfied with that relationship.

"He is not only handsome, but also warm and talented, and has helped me a lot. I can make the royal spy out of nothing for two years and make it take for it to take shape, but it cannot be separated from his help." Heyang's evaluation of Zhao Chengsi was so high that it was as good as a perfect saint, which shows that the lover's eyes showed Xi Shi.

Qin Lei's heart moved slightly and asked inadvertently: "As far as I know, the construction of an intelligence system is a kung fu job. What can it develop in two years?"

Heyang suddenly said vaguely, obviously not wanting Qin Lei to know too much about the royal spies, but he still couldn't help but show off: "Give an example, do you know how Huangfu Dan died?"

Qin Lei thought to himself that there was another secret Xin heard it and smiled and said, "Is it yours who killed it?"

Princess Heyang chuckled and said, "If you have the ability to kill the huge military giants under protection, can I still be bullied by you like this?"

Qin Lei frowned and did not speak. Fortunately, Princess Heyang was just used to being rogue. Seeing that Qin Lei didn't talk, she pouted boredly, and then said, "The Royal Secret Spy obtained Huangfu Dan's itinerary through a certain channel. She took the lead in the camp he chose, sprinkled croton into the grass, and tampered in the only water source. As a result, the Huangfu family was really hit. Almost everyone was weak, and most of the military horses also weakened their feet. They stared at their blood kill day and night, and naturally they would not let this go... The opportunity given by the palace, after paying a huge price, would he behead Huangfu Xian at the foot of Shouyang Mountain. As for what happened later, do you know?"

Qin Lei nodded and said softly, "I heard a little." After thinking about it, he still said a fair word: "If the royal family can have the situation today, you have to remember the first thing you can do if you can do a big move."

I thought Princess Heyang would be proud of her words, but she became angry, and the frost on her face was as real as it was, and her eyes spit out: "Although I couldn't see so far at that time, I knew that I had done something amazing. I returned to Beijing with joy, hoping to enter the palace to receive rewards, so that I could ask my father to give me a marriage." Even though she was furious, she had not forgotten to explain to her lover: "Although he is the new top scholar in martial arts, he is not qualified to seek the Princess of Daqin, and he needs His Majesty to give me a marriage."

Qin Lei looked at Heyang with a sympathy and heard her crying and complaining: "I rushed into the palace excitedly that day and reported the big news to my father. He was indeed very happy. It was the first time I saw him laughing happily. But after laughing, he told me excitedly that he had found a family for me and granted marriage to Duke Su's mansion!"

"I only then did I realize that our good father secretly promised me to the Xu family..." Although many years have passed, when Heyang mentioned this past, he still gritted his teeth with hatred: "It was unsolvable at that time. It was not until half a year later that the father performed the beautiful 'robbery' that I realized that it was for the Shenwu Army."

Qin Lei nodded and thought to himself: 'It must be that the two families had an agreement. In this way, the battle between the two military companies six years ago was a great conspiracy planned and prepared for many years. In the end, he won a big win and turned the world around.' Of course, there are also sequelae. It has begun to occur one after another in recent years. Although it is not obvious how serious it is now, Qin Lei can still feel a trace of dangerous signs from it.

When I recalled Empress Dowager Wenzhuang's conspiracy theory, it was indeed a 'theory of kingly way'. Qin Lei thought to himself: 'The king should not rely too much on conspiracy, otherwise it would be a bad end sooner or later.' But he asked indifferently: "Didn't you tell your father about asking for marriage?"

Heyang smiled bitterly and said, "How could it be that I didn't say anything. First, I asked for it softly, and then I gave it a mercy. Finally, I even forced myself to go on a hunger strike. But I didn't expect that my father was a stern heart and let me do all my skills, but I didn't react at all. I just sent the palace maids and nanny to follow me all day, and forced me to feed me rice soup and human milk, which made me even if I wanted to die."

"On the day of marriage, I was tied up in a sedan chair and carried to the Xu family. In fact, I was already weak and had no strength to escape, but they were too worried." Princess Heyang mocked: "In the end, I was held by two strong nannies and worshiped Xu Zaiwen, and became the wife of the Xu family."

Qin Lei scratched his head. He felt very sympathetic to Heyang's experience, but he didn't know how to comfort him, so he could only say dryly: "It's a bastard for an arranged marriage."

Princess Heyang looked at Qin Lei in surprise, as if she didn't expect Qin Lei to speak for herself. After all, most people in this world have no chance to experience any unforgettable love. They just go to the church first and then meet again. After the raw rice is cooked, they remember that if they apply more fertilizer, water it frequently, and often catch insects to remove weeds, the rice will grow more full, and the rice will be sweeter after cooking it, but it is too late.

How can you truly understand what "who knows that every grain of food on the plate is hard to work with"?

Therefore, even close friends in the boudoir could not understand Princess Heyang's persistence in love and the resistance to imposed destiny that was derived from it. But Qin Lei could understand that because he was used to freedom of marriage, Qin Lei sighed again: "It's not easy for you either."

This dry comfort made Princess Heyang burst into tears. She looked at Qin Lei with a smile. The smile on her face was very sincere and she said softly: "I didn't expect you would talk to me."

Qin Lei scratched his head and said, "I just talk about the matter, and I would have resisted."

Princess Heyang shook her head and smiled bitterly: "It's better not to learn from me. Resistance cannot change any results, and it will only make you more painful."
