She has served Princess Changle for many years and knows that Her Royal Highness has a quiet and virtuous temperament. Even big things will be dealt with calmly and it is difficult for her to lose her mood. It is extremely rare to see her so anxious and uneasy. The last time I saw her like this
, it was probably the time when the Duke of Yue came to the Taoist Temple and spent a lot of time with His Highness in the Alchemy Room that day before he went on an expedition...
After the carriage was ready, the maid went inside to serve Princess Changle. She changed into a palace dress and wore a snow-white fox fur cloak, which made her slim and graceful figure even more beautiful. Then they came out of the alchemy room together, and then came out again.
After arriving at the mountain gate, we boarded a four-wheel carriage, surrounded by dozens of guards, and walked down the mountain road in the dark night, returning to Chang'an City.
At this time, the sky was completely dark, the north wind was howling, and from time to time there was one or two roars of wild beasts, and heavy snow fell from the sky. The mountain roads that were originally full of snow became increasingly slippery and difficult to navigate. The four-wheeled carriages were better, and the guards were riding horses.
You need to be careful and move forward cautiously, otherwise your horse may slip and fall on the road. However, if you fall into a ravine on the roadside, you may lose half your life.
The group of people drove the carriage carefully and at a very slow speed.
Walking on a path next to a mountain col, the birds that were living in the dense forest beside the road suddenly fluttered their wings and began to chirp, which was very clear even in the cold wind.
The guards immediately became nervous, and the leader shouted: "Be careful!"
When birds start in the forest, it must be someone or a wild animal walking through it. If it is a wild animal, that's fine, but if it is a human... It's freezing cold in the middle of the night. Who can walk through the forest where wild beasts are infested? Think about it.
I also know that it is not good!
However, before he finished speaking, he heard a series of "Beng Beng Beng" bow strings vibrating, and several arrows trailing an afterimage were shot out of the dense forest, instantly piercing the wind and snow and arriving close.
"alert!"
The leader of the guards shouted loudly and drew his sword in his hand. He knocked away an arrow that flew in front of him with one blow. Then he rode to the four-wheeled carriage and blocked the carriage with his body to prevent arrows from hitting the carriage and injuring him.
Princess Changle was in the car.
These guards were well-trained. Faced with the sudden sneak attack, they quickly calmed down after getting rid of their initial surprise. They either stepped forward to form a circle to block the carriage, or they dismounted and rushed in while wading knee-deep in blood.
In the dense forest, look for enemies to kill.
But before they entered the dense forest, they heard someone shouting: "Mother! Who told you to shoot arrows? You should be damned if you spoil the master's important event! Get out, get out, get out quickly, don't let the guards catch up with you."
!”
Immediately, people were seen in the dense forest, and countless assassins lurking among them jumped up from their hiding places, evacuated quickly, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"Don't chase after poor bandits, it's more important to protect His Highness!"
The leader of the guards recalled all the guards, and personally came forward and posted them by the window of the carriage. He said with shame: "Your Highness, please forgive me. The thief set up an ambush for a sneak attack. The general was panicked and failed to capture him. He deserves death."
In the carriage, Princess Changle patted the little maid who was shaking with fear, and asked with a cold face: "What happened?"
She was in the car, blocked by the curtains, and could only hear some noises, but she couldn't see what was going on.
The leader of the guards briefly explained the situation and recounted the words of the thief heard by the guards in the dense forest. Princess Changle bit her silver teeth secretly, her eyes breathed fire, her pink fists were clenched tightly, and she said angrily: "This beast is really hateful! Back then,
You almost hurt me, why do you want to do it again today? Fortunately, I remember my past kindness and don’t want to report and expose him, but he is so heartless!"
She scolded a few times, suppressed her anger, and ordered: "Since the thief has withdrawn, he will not come back again. If safety is ensured, hurry back to Chang'an."
She was really angry this time. She no longer cared about the relationship between husband and wife in the past, and vowed to inform the prince about the matter and ask the prince to arrest and bring this beast to justice!
"Here!"
The leader of the imperial guard rushed back to the Taoist temple and entered the city again at dawn tomorrow. However, from Princess Changle's tone, he had probably guessed the identity of the culprit, so he was anxious to return to the city to settle the score. He did not dare to say anything more, but strictly ordered to strengthen the vigilance and slowly moved forward.
At the same time, he sent people back to the Taoist temple and mobilized all the people left behind, just in case.
Fortunately, as Princess Changle had expected, the thief escaped in a hurry and failed to succeed. Until he came to Mingde Gate and called for the city gate to be opened, no trace of the thief was found again.
…
On the Shaoling Plateau in the wind and snow, inside a manor, the lights were bright.
Jiang Wang Li Yun was sitting behind the desk, leaning against a delicate-looking and delicate maid. He opened his mouth and let the maid feed a cup of fine wine into his mouth.
Opposite him, Changsun Xi looked worried and looked out the door from time to time.
Outside, it was snowing and windy, and it was freezing cold.
Li Yun saw his eldest grandson Xun distracted and uneasy. He clicked his tongue and said disdainfully: "Are you your father's son? Your father is so bold that he dares to quarrel with his father and confront the imperial power.
You boy worry about gain and loss when doing the smallest thing, you are really worthless!"
Only then did Chang Sunxun calm down and said angrily: "Who knows the consequences of such a scheme against my elder brother? My elder brother has been living in exile in the past few years. His temper has become more extreme and mean, and his anger is very strong. If he is angered,
, why don’t you beat me half to death?”
Once upon a time, Changsun Chong was almost the representative of "children of aristocratic families". All good praises could be bestowed upon him, and everyone said that this boy had a bright future.
However, now, after many hardships, Changsun Chong's character is no longer as gentle as before. He is only mean, vicious, extreme and violent. Changsun Xu is even worried that if his eldest brother knows that he and Li Yun are plotting against him behind his back, he will kill him with one knife.
Slaughtered?
Jiang Wang Li Yun pushed the maid away, turned over and sat up, tied up his hair, and said with a smile: "It's really unfounded to worry! Even if you don't dare to offend your eldest brother, I don't dare to report his whereabouts to the official, but don't we know how?
Killing someone with a borrowed knife? The reason I asked you to exaggerate the affair between Sister Changle and Fang Junzhi in front of Changsun Chong was to arouse the jealousy of Changsun Chong. Once jealousy rises and overwhelms his reason, he will definitely look for an opportunity to meet Sister Changle.
Ask some questions. This is not because Changsun Chong is paranoid. No man can guard against such a thing, right? Since he and Sister Changle have already reconciled."
The husband is the guide for his wife, this is a family relationship and cannot be changed.
A man can have three wives and four concubines, and even sleep in flowers and willows. People all over the world say that he is "romantic by nature" and "suave and unruly". If there are one or two more anecdotes, it will become a good story.
However, if a woman is unfaithful, she has "lost her virginity" and will not only be scorned by the world, but will also make her husband look down upon, suffer ridicule, and be unable to hold her head up for the rest of her life.
So what if there is peace and separation? It is said that "one parting and two lenient", but after all, they were once members of the husband's family, and if they were involved by other men, there would still be endless gossip. Although the law of the Tang Dynasty stipulates that if men and women are not compatible, they can make peace.
Divorce, but how many people in the world are divorced?
Unless the man dies violently and the woman remarries, will this be tolerated by the world...
Changsun Chongzhi was so proud and arrogant. How could he hold back when he heard that Sister Changle was having an affair with someone else, and that the man who lost his virginity was his enemy? He was bound to find Sister Changle and make a scene.
As long as he shows up, Sister Changle will definitely report him.
His mother's family belongs to the Guanlong clan, and they dare not go and expose the eldest grandson's sneaking back to Chang'an. If the important matter of the Guanlong clan is ruined, he will not be able to live with it. Even if he sends people to do it, the hidden danger is already very high.
Big, once things are revealed, the consequences will be disastrous.
But it would be absolutely fine to provoke Changsun Chong in this way and make him lose his temper and go to see Princess Changle, and then Princess Changle would expose him.
Who dares to question Princess Changle about the details?
Chang Sunxun, however, looked disgusted and said: "You are planning all sorts of things, just like Zhuge Kongming, who swore that Princess Changle would expose and report the eldest brother, but Princess Changle did not."
Li Yun was a little embarrassed.
He thought that as long as Changsun Chong appeared in front of Princess Changle, Princess Changle would definitely expose him. After all, when the two reconciled, there was a turmoil in the city. Later, Changsun Chong kidnapped Princess Changle in Zhongnan Mountain and almost killed Princess Changle. Why?
It can be said that there is no grudge, and turning against each other has become an enemy, right?
Unexpectedly, the people he sent to monitor came back and told him that after Changsun Chong left, Princess Changle actually drove back to the city herself.
This is definitely not to expose Sun Chong, the chief prosecutor, otherwise why would he come forward in person?
Fortunately, he made arrangements in time and arranged for people to shoot cold arrows halfway to create the illusion of attacking and killing Princess Changle. He also ordered people to speak loudly on purpose to make Princess Changle believe that Changsun Chong was responsible for the incident...
