Adams stared at Sima Tai coldly, as if he was meeting him for the first time. Through this incident, he suddenly discovered that Sima Tai was far more powerful than he expected.
Sima Tai smiled and said: "General, won't you ask me to sit down?"
A smile appeared on Adams's lips: "Please sit down, Prime Minister. I wonder if you can give me any advice for visiting at this time?"
Sima Tai said straight to the point: "The princess is not dead, this illness is purely disguised!"
Adams couldn't help but frowned. What exactly did Sima Tai want to do when he told him this?
"According to the maids and chamberlains in Qingyue Palace, Princess Xuanbo and Tang Lie had been having an affair for a long time. They were afraid that their status would be too different to be together, so they took advantage of the fact that the emperor was not in the palace and came up with such a plan to pretend to be sick.
A way to escape from the palace."
Adams sneered and said: "As far as I know, Princess Xuanbo has always lived in a deep palace, and Tang Lie was just an ordinary doctor who saw a doctor. He only had one experience of entering the palace to treat diseases, and he was under the full supervision of outsiders.
Where can I get the chance to meet the princess?"
Sima Tai smiled and said: "I suddenly remembered a story. There were two hunters who had been hunting for many days without harvesting anything. Suddenly one day, they saw a wild goose flying in the air. The two of them drew their bows and wanted to shoot, but suddenly they remembered to shoot.
The two started arguing over whether it should be braised or stewed. After reaching a consensus, the wild goose had already gone away, and it was too late to regret it..."
Adams' gray-green eyes flashed quickly, and he moved closer to Sima Tai: "Can the Prime Minister make it clearer?"
"The elopement of the princess and Tang Lie will damage the reputation of the royal family. If her chastity is lost, there will be no possibility of inheriting the throne. Your Majesty is driving the expedition in person, and the situation is not optimistic. Although the eldest princess is also of royal blood, it is difficult to convince the public. For the Xuanwu Empire
, the most suitable person in power is the prince!"
Adams looked at Sima Tai coldly. If Xuanyuan ascended the throne, wouldn't all his hard-working plans be in vain?
Sima Tai smiled and said: "If a minister opposes the emperor, it is rebellion. If the prince abandons the emperor and ignores him, it is disobedience. Today we join hands to support the prince to fight against the emperor. In the future, we will deal with the prince in the name of disobedience and unfilial piety. Do you think this dish is right?"
Not to your liking?"
Adams finally understood Sima Tai's original intention. He wanted to use the prince as a scapegoat to confront Emperor Xuan Sizhe. He whispered: "There is something I still don't understand. Your daughter is Xuan Sizhe's princess. Why do you
Want to help outsiders deal with your own son-in-law?"
Sima Tai sighed softly: "Didn't the general realize that the Xuanwu Empire has a vast territory and a large population, but it has already reached the point where it is dying? This war with the Lande Empire will undoubtedly fail. Although Sima Tai is foolish,
, but know how to consider the future of himself and his family. Neither Xuan Yuan nor Xuan Bo can take on the responsibility of saving the empire. What do you think, the general?"
Adams nodded heavily, stretched out his hand to hold Sima Tai's arm, and said cordially: "From today on, the Prime Minister is my brother, and our destiny will be forever linked..."
"I have to go back!" After thinking about it several times, Tang Lie finally made up his mind.
Xuan Bo said: "You clearly know that there is a turmoil in the imperial capital, why do you want to go back?"
Tang Lie clearly realized that the reason why he went back was because there was another thing that he couldn't worry about. Xuan'er was still staying in the city waiting for him to go back. Although he had entrusted her to Boss Li's care, such a big thing happened last night.
, it is inevitable that it will not affect Deyue Tower.
"But after what happened last night, they will definitely intensify the search. If you go back now, wouldn't you be throwing yourself into a trap?" Xuan Bo said with worry.
Tang Lie smiled and said: "The more dangerous the place, the safer the place. They may not think that I dare to return to the imperial capital again. Besides, their main attention is focused on you, and I am just an unimportant person."
I am a small role. The focus of the search will naturally not be on me." Although he said it lightly, he knew in his heart that Xuan Yuan and others would never let him go easily.
"I'll go back with you!" Xuan Bo decided decisively.
Tang Lie shook his head: "You stay and wait for me. I promise you that I will return here tomorrow morning at the latest." This hut is where the elves use to stay and hide. There are many useful things in the cabinets inside.
The items used for makeup could come in handy now. The reason why Tang Lie dared to risk going back was that these items also played a considerable role.
His determined gaze immediately calmed down Xuan Bo's restless heart. Strangely speaking, she had only known Tang Lie for a few days and didn't know much about him, but she already trusted him quite a bit in her heart.
When Tang Lie arrived at the west gate of the imperial capital, the situation in front of him was beyond his expectation. He thought that this incident was bound to cause chaos in the imperial capital, and the entire imperial city was in turmoil. Unexpectedly, the imperial capital was still the same as before.
It is quiet, the security in front of the door has not been deliberately strengthened, and pedestrians passing by are rarely subject to interrogation.
In order to deceive others, Tang Lie dyed his hair gray and put on a fake beard. On the surface, he looked at least thirty years older. He walked into the imperial capital in a swagger. The guards guarding the gate did not check him at all, but the two people on the roadside
A passerby's whisper caught his attention.
One of them said: "I heard that Princess Xuanbo eloped with the doctor who was treating her!"
Another person lowered his voice and said: "I wonder what that doctor is capable of? He can actually deceive the princess's feelings and even abandon his supreme status and run away with him..."
"Hey, maybe his words are so powerful that he makes the princess fascinated!"
The two of them laughed obscenely at the same time, perhaps noticing that Tang Lie was looking in their direction. They were afraid of getting into trouble, so they hurried forward.
Tang Lie shook his head dumbfounded. He didn't expect that he and Xuan Bo would be regarded as an elopement couple. If the conversation just now was known to that thin-skinned princess, she would be angry to death. Then he thought about it, this
It was probably another evil idea that Prince Xuan Yuan came up with. Even if he jumped into the Yellow River, he couldn't clean it out. But why didn't he pursue her? Didn't he want to kill Xuan Bo and ruin her name from the beginning?
Just by forcing her to go away, has the goal been achieved?
Tang Lie had just arrived at Deyue Tower at dusk. Boss Li was also surprised when he saw him for the first time. Only then did he recognize him when he heard his voice, and hurriedly took him to an uninhabited area in the backyard.
He whispered: "Now the whole imperial capital is talking about my benefactor and the princess, how can you dare to come back?"
Tang Lie answered frankly: "I came back this time because I want to take Xuan'er away with me!"
Boss Li sighed and said: "She has already left. I heard that something happened to my benefactor, and she wanted to find you no matter what. She left this morning and still hasn't come back."
Tang Lie punched his palm in annoyance and passed by Xuan'er this time. He wondered if God was deliberately teasing him.
Boss Li said: "My dear benefactor, abducting the royal princess is a capital crime. You can't stay in the imperial capital no matter what. You'd better leave quickly without being discovered by others."
Tang Lie nodded and told Boss Li: "If Xuan'er comes back, ask her to find me in the thatched cottage where I treated her!"
After leaving Deyuelou, the sky was already getting dark. Tang Lie was still a little reluctant and walked slowly around the clinic. The door of the clinic was locked and cross-seals were posted on the door. As expected, Xuan'er did not come back.
Tang Lie looked at the clinic with some disappointment, lowered his head and walked silently towards the end of the street.
When passing by the arch bridge, a graceful and graceful girl came forward. Tang Lie could see clearly that the girl turned out to be Bai Lisi from Huayuefang. I wonder why she passed by here? Tang Lie subconsciously thought
His head hung down. He and Bai Lisi had a one-night stand, and he couldn't help but feel guilty.
The two passed each other, and Bai Lisi walked to the top of the bridge, suddenly stopped, turned around and said softly: "Don't you recognize me?"
Tang Lie was startled, pretended not to hear, and continued walking forward.
Bai Lisi quickly chased after Tang Lie and whispered: "Tang Lie, stop right here!"
Tang Lie understood that Xingzang had been discovered by her, but he still pretended to be confused and said in a hoarse voice: "Is this girl called me?"
Bai Lisi grabbed Tang Lie's arm and said, "Don't try to show off to me, I can recognize your figure and posture even if you turn into ashes!"
Tang Lie smiled bitterly and turned to Bai Lisi. There was no point in hiding it now.
Bai Lisi looked around to make sure no one was paying attention, then whispered: "Let's go for a walk by the river!"
The two of them walked slowly along the river embankment. Tang Lie whispered: "How could you recognize me at a glance?"
Bai Lisi smiled charmingly, her voice was slightly hoarse and full of temptation: "Don't forget, we had fun before. I can smell your breath and feel the heat of your body."
Unconsciously, Tang Lie's heart trembled. He put his arms around her slender waist and said to her crystal ear: "Don't tell me that you happened to pass by here!"
Bai Lisi smiled coquettishly and said: "Of course not, I came here specifically to find you!"
Tang Lie said in astonishment: "How do you know I will definitely come back?"
Bai Lisi smiled and said: "Although I couldn't guess it, someone has already guessed it. He asked me to wait here for your arrival. After seeing you, he asked me to take you to meet him. I don't know if you are willing.
?”
Tang Lie stared at Bai Lisi for a long time. He suddenly discovered that Bai Lisi's identity was not as simple as it seemed on the surface. There must be someone hiding behind her. Who is this person? Once Tang Lie's curiosity was aroused
No need to consider any consequences. He nodded heavily and said, "Take me to see him!"
