Xia Shang still left the Prince's Mansion. Regarding the general outline of the Book of Heaven, no one dared to say whether it was true or false. Li Xiangyang could only listen to what Xia Shang said.
I just didn't expect that a short inquiry would put the prince's cronies in an awkward position.
Xue Lengxiang still remembered the subtle expressions between the prince and Taoist Ma before leaving. She felt a little more happy in her heart. She followed Xia Shang and looked back at the prince's mansion. Then she caught up with Xia Shang and asked, "Master, what did you say just now?"
Seven points reveal three points, and if you leave out three points, say one point, is it true?"
"It's just random nonsense. Taoist Master Ma is very weird. His calculation skills seem to be somewhat capable. However, this person is overconfident and seems to know everything about heaven and earth. I feel very unhappy when I see him. And, like this
You don't know what the purpose is if you stay by the prince's side and listen to the wind all day long. At least you can't let him stand too firmly beside the prince. If the prince is bewitched by him in the future, the whole world will be affected."
"Random talk..." Xue Lengxiang had a strange expression, thinking that all the random talk was justified. Not only did everyone present believe it, but she also believed it herself.
The two of them didn't say much. They walked across the street and returned home.
The strange servant recognized Xia Shang and hurriedly went inside to report.
After a short time, everyone in the family came out to welcome him, except Qin Huairou.
It was not the time to rest at home yet. Xia Shang did not say anything to the ladies and asked them to go about their own business. Then he followed Xiaoyue to find Qin Huairou in the guest room.
In the guest room, Qin Huairou sat on a small stool, leaning on the recliner in front of her third uncle Qin Zhengtian, whom she met in the palace.
After parting ways with the palace, Xia Shang asked his third uncle to come home to recuperate and meet Huairou by the way.
Qin Zhengtian was controlled by the emperor's true energy in the palace and suffered internal injuries. Although he was not seriously injured at the moment, his complexion was very poor.
At this moment, he is lying on the recliner with drooped eyelids, looking more like an old man.
Xia Shang just opened the door, and the two seemed to be talking about Xia Shang, but unfortunately Xia Shang didn't hear clearly.
When the two people inside saw someone coming outside, they immediately stopped talking.
Xiaoyue said: "Madam, the young master is back."
After saying that, he exited the room obediently.
"Third uncle, Huairou."
After a simple word, Xia Shang closed the door and sat directly in the room.
Qin Huairou looked at Xia Shang and said nothing.
Qin Zhengtian asked first: "What did you do when you went to the palace? Why did thunder fall in the palace last night?"
"Third uncle, this is just a natural phenomenon that cannot be controlled by humans. The thunder falling on the palace does not mean anything. Basically nothing major happens in the palace now."
"It's just a natural phenomenon?" Qin Zhengtian was a little skeptical.
Xia Shang just smiled and stopped explaining.
Qin Zhengtian looked at this man and knew that he was hiding something, but he did not want to continue to ask questions. As a soldier, he has lived an easier life based on the principle of knowing as little as possible for many years.
After a few short seconds, Xia Shang looked at Qin Huairou with a smile: "Madam, what were you talking about just now? You seemed to be discussing me?"
Qin Huairou smiled: "I'm just telling my third uncle about everything between my husband and I over the years..."
Huairou's voice was light and gentle, as if she was lost in memories, with a little more emotion: "I think back then, when my husband was still that playboy, the Xia family was ruined. How could I have imagined that my husband would ever regret it?"
That day?"
Upon hearing this, Xia Shang also thought of everything that happened when he first met Huairou, and couldn't help but sigh that time is like lightning and there is no time to recall.
"Ha..." Qin Zhengtian on the other side interrupted with a smile, "What grade are you young couple at? Why do you seem to be more old-fashioned than this old guy like Third Uncle now? Huairou, you are different now from you before.
You would never sit so politely in front of Third Uncle before."
Qin Huairou's face was slightly red, and she didn't know how to explain it. She just glanced at her husband, and she felt a little more happy for some reason.
At this time, Qin Zhengtian waved his hand: "Huairou, you go out first, I will have a few words with this kid alone."
"Huh?" Qin Huairou was slightly stunned, "Third uncle, you didn't say that before..."
"Okay, okay, you go out first." Qin Zhengtian continued to wave his hands impatiently.
Qin Huairou was a little worried. After all, the third uncle was not familiar with the husband, and he didn't know what the third uncle would say when chatting with the husband alone.
Xia Shang patted Qin Huairou on the shoulder and signaled her to avoid it for the time being.
Qin Huairou still leaves
Opened the room.
When the third uncle and Xia Shang were left in the room, the other party gradually sat up straight.
"Third uncle, what do you want to say?"
Qin Zhengtian frowned: "I haven't seen Huairou for seven years. My memory of Huairou still remains when she pestered me to teach her internal skills. Fast forward seven years, and the little girl back then has actually become the father of two children.
Mother, now I feel that I am really old."
"Third uncle...you look like this, calling yourself an old man...this...this sounds weird. You are only in your early forties."
Qin Zhengtian raised the corner of his mouth, rolled his eyes at Xia Shang, and continued: "It's only a small matter when people change, but it's a big deal when the capital changes! The last time I returned to the capital, I followed the general into the palace to accept the emperor's reward. At that time, the emperor
Although he was old, he was high-spirited, arrogant and domineering. The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty took revenge and surrendered in front of him, and they all looked loyal. Unexpectedly, the following year, the emperor personally conquered the southern barbarian tribes, and news came back that he was critically ill after being shot by an arrow. At that time, I was in the north.
When I was stationed on the ground, I thought that the emperor would recover sooner or later. Unexpectedly, just because of that incident, the court began to become uneasy.
In the past, I only heard some rumors in the army, and I never thought that the capital would change much. But after returning to the capital this time, I noticed that the capital now is completely different from the capital in the past. Under the surface calm,
The civil and military affairs of the entire dynasty were in disarray, and what was even more ridiculous was that the government was actually in the control of a woman. Now I understand that the news I heard at the station was not groundless, and the real change was far more huge than the rumors.
Xia Shang, I have heard your name since I was in the New Taipei Army! I didn’t know you were Huairou’s husband at the time! I know many of your deeds, and I know even more how deeply you have been involved in the struggle for power in the capital. I advise you to still
It’s better to stop early.”
The third uncle said a lot seriously, but Xia Shang just shook his head helplessly: "Third uncle, at this time, who doesn't want to stay out of the matter? I believe that in today's capital, some people do not want to fight for power, but because
Everything is out of control, everyone is just trying to survive."
Qin Zhengtian pondered for a while: "What you said makes sense, but you are alone in the capital now, and there is no one you absolutely trust in the court. It is really too dangerous."
