Chapter 141

Empress Shen wanted to find an opportunity to persuade her, but Tang Tianxiao was busy with government affairs for a few days and had no time to see her; The emperor is young, so when he sees such a beautiful and fun woman from another race, he can't help but find it novel, and naturally throws his hand away after a while. She's just a concubine of a foreign race, no matter how arrogant she is, she can't surpass the empress, so I'm afraid of causing some troubles?"

Even the Empress Dowager didn't care about it, and indulged her beloved son to mess around, so Mrs. Shen had no choice.

So the Outer Dynasty also began to have some rumors, saying that the Qin Tianjian watched the stars at night, the Ziweiyuan was dark, the middle palace was unstable, and a comet came out from the northwest, swept half of the sky, and directly invaded the Taiweiyuan, and the main harem was uneasy. , Fear of causing the disaster of swordsmen.

The spearhead is directed at Shu Ke Qian Mei.

When everyone was talking about gold, Tang Tianqi, Marquis of Cheng'an, was outraged. Many ministers who had made friends with him at the night banquet in the mansion invited a fairy elder to explain the astrology in detail in front of everyone.

This Immortal Master Hengyi is said to be a personal disciple of Master Li Tianshi who successfully predicted several iterations of the Southern Dynasty decades ago. He has profound morals, and was finally invited out of the mountain by Tang Tianqi to worship in the mansion like a fairy.

He climbed up in the garden and looked at it for a while, but his words were astonishing.

He also said that there was a change of swords and soldiers in recent months, and then he deduced it in detail according to the theory of five elements and gossip. It implies that the chaos is related to the woman with water in her name.

Although Ke Qianmei's name also has the word "Shui" in it, in the eyes of Da Zhou's officials, she is still an outsider; what's more, her boudoir name is not as well-known as her "Princess Kezhu".

But Princess Zhu's name not only has nothing to do with water, but also has the word fire which is opposite to water.

But Shen Fengyi, the empress of the Central Palace, her natal family's Shen family is quite famous, with strong soldiers and horses, and they are stationed in the hinterland of Gyeonggi; and her surname, which is stained with water, is known to everyone, everyone knows it.

Therefore, after Heng Yixian made some unpredictable remarks, [-]% of people actually thought about Queen Shen.

In addition, everyone knows that Marquis Cheng An and Emperor Zhou are very close, and Marquis Cheng An's intention may not be the Emperor Zhou's intention, so each of them is a bit suspicious, and if they want to follow the trend and help the Shen family speak, they have to weigh more up.

When Tang Tianxiao heard about it, when he saw Tang Tianqi again, he turned away from his followers and said with a smile, "When did you know those immortal masters with great powers? If you have time, please invite them here so I can meet them."

Tang Tianqi stuck out his tongue, and said: "I thought he was lured here, but unfortunately he dared not come, I'm afraid the emperor will not let him go."

Tang Tianxiao immediately understood, snorted, and said, "Could it be that stinky Taoist priest who was talking nonsense in front of Zhen and Qianmei? If he hadn't been hiding in your mansion, ten heads wouldn't be enough for me to chop off!"

Tang Tianqi said with a smile: "This old man is quite knowledgeable, and somehow he saw through the emperor's treasury. I'm afraid he guessed that the emperor wanted to kill him, so he secretly sent someone to my house to say that he wanted to see me. I didn't know him at the time." I just offended the emperor, so I took it in."

"How do you know this smelly Taoist priest?"

"This...is it a coincidence? When I was living in Beidu six or seven years ago, I met him at the Baiyun temple. Because the temple master valued him very much, I asked him to take a divination. I didn’t know much about it, but looking back later, even the death of my father, the chaos of my brother, and the fact that I have no heirs, all of them were right for him. Therefore, I had no intention of seeing him again in Ruidu a few months ago, so I asked him to stay. Staying in the mansion for a while, I want to ask him if he has a way to ask for a child, but who knows he won't, not even divination for me."

"These treacherous people, seeing that you believe in him, will naturally take the opportunity to take advantage of Joe, otherwise how can they raise their own value?"

Tang Tianqi was stunned, and hurriedly said: "Oh... that's right, what the emperor said... makes sense. If he is really clever, he won't offend the emperor and hide with me to save his life."

Although Tang Tianxiao said that, thinking of the Panlong lottery that he accidentally drew that day, he felt a little uneasy.

He lowered his head and took a sip of his tea, then asked again: "Do you think this person is effective?"

Although Tang Tianqi didn't fully understand the inside story, when he saw Tang Tianxiao was angry, he expected that the old man must have said nothing good, so he said with a smile: "It may not be very effective. If you think about it in detail, his hexagrams are indeed ambiguous and specious. It's just that I have I don't have any sons and daughters, so I feel a little anxious, so I just dragged a dead horse over to treat it as a live horse doctor!"

Tang Tianxiao pondered for a moment, nodded and said: "Yes, you have known him since you were in Beijing, so it can be seen that he has been in contact with princes and nobles for a long time. In those years, I often changed my clothes and walked in the market with those princes and children. This kind of person has a delicate mind and is the best at observing facial expressions. Maybe he has met him long ago and has seen through my identity. When I met him by chance a while ago, he recognized him immediately, so he used this to play tricks and hoped that I would be like you Treat him as a god, and from now on, I will offer up mountains of gold and silver, so that I can ask him to relieve disasters and disasters!"

Tang Tianqi said with a smile: "This old man is also wise. Seeing that the emperor ignored him and knew that he was in trouble, he actually used me as a talisman! But he is still obedient. I ordered him a few words, and he knew how to speak. Excuse Sanmei! It's a pity that the emperor's hidden guards are still guarding in front of my mansion, I'm afraid his head won't last long!"

Tang Tianxiao heard that he was begging for mercy, and said with a smile: "What kind of low-grade goods are worth my troubles! You can arrange it yourself! If these people are used well, it is not a bad thing."

Knowing that he let the Taoist priest go, Tang Tianqi breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "The matter of the Shen family needs to be prepared in advance. If it is delayed for a long time, there may be another military defense plan. Although the third sister Clever, after all, is a person."

Tang Tianxiao lazily leaned back in the chair, and said leisurely: "How could she be alone? Can't I be counted as the person around her? Are you Cheng Anhou a vegetarian again?"

Tang Tianqi understood, smiled lightly and said, "It's time to eat meat!"

Tang Tianxiao nodded and said, "Beihe's affairs also need to be taken care of. Didn't you say that the checkpoints along the way are very tight? Why haven't you found any traces of the Jingshan group of assassins?"

Tang Tianqi rubbed his temples, and said worryingly: "I also find it strange. These people are all from Beihe. Even if they can speak a few words of Central Plains dialect, their accents are easy to identify. There is no reason why they can't be found out. Could it be that they fly to the sky Or, is it still hidden somewhere in Jingshan and hasn't come out yet?"

Tang Tianxiao glanced outside the door to make sure that no one was eavesdropping, and then asked again: "Did the captured Beihe man still not confess?"

Tang Tianqi shook his head and sighed: "The bones are very hard. I have been locked up for more than ten days. I have used a lot of torture, but I still haven't said a word. The guard Yin Zhuo recognized that he was the brother of King Beihe, so he stayed A little leeway, save his life!"

Tang Tianxiao caressed the hooked dragon's sharp claws on the dragon chair, and said slowly: "Continue with the interrogation, remember not to say anything to Qianmei. It's better for her to stay out of the matter."

He said, frowning again, and said in a low voice: "This girl is not worrying. Beihe's matter is over, and she has gotten closer to Yayi recently. Sigh, this Nanyayi..."

Staring at the grand and empty steps outside, he was a little absent-minded, and slowly supported his forehead, his eyes began to be in a trance.

In front of the temples in Beidu, there are also such steps, and the flowers and trees are lush under the steps.

At that time, he didn't understand the matter, and Nan Yayi didn't understand the matter either, the two of them got into the grass, and the bushes stretched over their heads like an umbrella.

She pouted her small mouth, and he also squinted his slender phoenix eyes, and put his hand to his lips, signaling to the other party to be quiet.

Then, the two jumped up together and rushed towards the same cricket at the base of the wall.

"Ouch!"

"Ouch!"

The two bumped into each other, covered their foreheads, grinned, and sat in the grass, crying.

And the cricket they wanted to catch with one heart and one mind screamed happily, but it had already jumped to nowhere.

Childhood sweetheart, childhood sweetheart...

Tang Tianxiao smiled lightly, but quickly turned to sighing.

When he came back to his senses, Tang Tianqi had already retired and left, and the inside and outside of the hall were already empty.

On the blue and white stone steps, there is no dust.

But there was a fallen leaf that came from nowhere, fluttering, wobbling, and falling down like drunk.

---------------------------------------------

But when Qianmei returned to Yiqing Palace from the Great Buddha Hall again, she was very depressed.

Knowing that the Empress Dowager was not very happy with her favor, she did not dare to provoke the Empress Dowager, and also knew the embarrassing and unclear relationship between Tang Tianxiao and Nan Yayi, she did not dare to bring Nan Yayi into her palace.So when Tang Tianxiao went to the previous dynasty to deal with political affairs, she often went to the Great Buddha Hall to visit Nan Yayi.

But the current situation in Nanyayi is obviously not optimistic.

Tang Tianxiao is not really a mediocre and incompetent monarch.

He has lofty ambitions and great talents. His long-term role as a puppet emperor has made him extremely clear-headed, and his temperament is flexible but firm.

Regardless of whether the Zhuang family will really raise troops, he will never tolerate Zhuang Yao's long-term self-respect, just like he will not tolerate Shen Du and Yu Wenqi having enough power to fight against the imperial power.

Zhuang Bilan's personality is sweet and clear, elegant and subtle. Although she was born in a general family and has suffered many hardships, she looks more like a hermit in the mountains who has escaped from the dust, but unfortunately she is the young master of the Zhuang family.

Either be willing to be a pawn, or participate in the game.

He cannot avoid the changing situation in the future.

Tang Tianxiao put Nan Yayi under house arrest in the palace, whether it be restrained or protected, it was not her wish.

She wanted to be with Zhuang Bilan, even if she became an enemy of her childhood playmate who was once inseparable, she didn't want to avoid it.

But Qianmei couldn't understand her thoughts.

If Nan Yayi and Zhuang Bilan were sensible enough, they should both be able to see that Tang Tianxiao had no intention of hurting him.If she stays in the palace, although her actions will be watched, she is still very safe.

And Nan Yayi just smiled, and asked her: "If your mother's queen, or your seventh uncle, or your sister Qingwu were all against Tang Tianxiao, where would you stand?"

Ke Qianmei was silent.

Maybe she was confused at first, but when she heard that Tang Tianxiao was about to be smashed to pieces because of her, her selfish decision surprised even herself.

When the Jingshan Assassin incident happened, Nan Yayi had already been brought into the palace, and these news could no longer reach her ears, otherwise she might not even have said these things to her.

But to say it or not, she seemed unable to stand by and watch the matter of Nan Yayi or Zhuang Bilan; just like if she was not sure that the assassins in Jingshan could escape Tang Tianxiao's search safely, she would not be able to leave safely.

Finally, Nan Yayi shook her hand, and said softly and clearly, "Qianmei, help me leave. I know you can do it."

Her hands were as warm and soft as Ning Qingwu's. The slender finger bones were almost imperceptible, but there was another kind of power that she couldn't refuse.

Ning Qingwu said, in this world, it is better to have less fighting.

Nan Yayi said, I want to be with him, no matter in times of peace and prosperity, or times of chaos.

And what does she want?
Huddled in this high wall, except for Tang Tianxiao's heart-pounding smile, don't you hear anything, turn a blind eye to everything?
Seeing her sitting sullenly, Taozi was not as energetic as before, and said with a smile: "The coral that the emperor ordered someone to send over yesterday was said to be a tribute from some Silla country overseas. Five feet tall!"

Ke Qianmei said: "Didn't you let me put it away yesterday?"

Tao Zi said: "Your Majesty didn't even take a look at it. Your Majesty hastily found this and brought it here. If you knew that your Majesty didn't care, I don't know why you would be so unhappy!"

Xiang'er was sitting by the window and was embroidering something. Hearing this, she looked at the room and said: "Actually, I think the coral display is very suitable in this room. It is luxurious and magnificent, and has a unique exotic charm. The emperor will definitely like it."
