Destroyed outside, gold and jade inside

Chapter 389

Fang Yan stood aside and looked at the mother and son who had been separated for many days and finally reunited. He shook his head helplessly, "Say you are cruel, and you treat your son so hard. You are better than any woman I have ever heard. Say you love your son, You always have the heart to leave such a small him behind."

Shen Xinniang raised her hand and gently touched her son's little face, her heart overflowing with satisfaction, "People always face choices, not everything can be both, I have tried my best to take care of both, but there are always times when I can't take care of it .”

Fang Yan walked slowly to the side of the mother and son, and sighed softly: "It is really stressful to have such a powerful wife."

Shen Xinniang raised her eyes and glanced at him lightly, "Everything is going according to your plan, I don't care about the future, I'm just a housewife, and it's my job to be a husband and a parent."

Fang Yan nodded and chuckled again and again, "Thank you Ma'am."

Fang Li and his mother got bored enough, so they turned over and lay on the bed, playing with their hands and feet, having a great time playing alone.Shen Xinniang was free now, and hurried to wash away the dust and dirt along the way.

The second prince was very surprised when he heard that Princess Qi was back, and the feeling of uneasiness not only didn't disappear, but intensified instead.

Will things go as planned?Will everything go well?The eldest brother has always been his biggest threat, and also the biggest resistance to his own ideas.Can you take this opportunity to completely remove the stumbling blocks in your path?Can Father Khan take this opportunity to see clearly the hearts of the two of them and stop hesitating?
The second prince restrained himself, he didn't look for King Qi, let alone ask Princess Qi.

It seems that if you don't move forward, things will not develop in a bad direction.Only Jin Xiang, who taught him the Great Liang Swordsmanship, noticed a slight difference in his mood.

After half a month.

The peregrine falcon came down suddenly.

The sky outside seemed to want to snow, and it was dark at noon.Dan Xin closed the doors and windows tightly, and the room was very warm with the earth dragon burning.

Suddenly there was a fluttering sound from the window, as if something was beating on the window.

Dan Xin was surprised for a while, "What, birds or something, they should all be huddled in their nests today, right?"

Shen Xinniang was teasing Fang Li to crawl forward, when she heard this, she raised her head and glanced out, narrowing her eyes slightly, "Go and have a look."

Dan Xin responded, and just opened the thick cotton curtain cage at the door, a big bird flew in.

Fang Li was lying on the bed, his head flattened on the soft quilt, and just saw the big bird from the side, he immediately grinned, and stretched out his chubby little hands, as if he wanted to catch the big bird.

"This is Saheila?" Shen Xinniang asked suspiciously, "Come down!"

As expected, the bird flapped its wings very obediently and flew lower, as if it wanted to land on Shen Xinniang.

Shen Xinniang got up immediately and took a few steps away from her son before letting the peregrine falcon land on her shoulder.

Peregrine Falcon stretched out a foot very spiritually, and Shen Xinniang touched its thin leg.

He took out a bamboo tube and took out the note inside.

Before opening the note, Shen Xinniang was still a little apprehensive, who wrote this letter to whom?Could it be that the First Prince was not suspected by Tumen Khan?How are you doing now?This is his secret letter to Cai Xiang?So the peregrine was sent to her?
But when she left, she clearly saw the disappointment and anger on Tumen Khan's face. Even if her own son committed the mistake of trying to treason and usurp power, he couldn't forgive him, right?Could it be that the eldest prince successfully conspired against him?Tumen Khan has lost power?That would be too bad...

She settled down and slowly opened the note in her hand.

Just when she was about to ask someone to invite the second prince over to identify the Turkic characters, she suddenly found that she could understand all the words on the note.

Not Turkic characters, but Daliang characters!

The note reads, "Good news! It's a success! It is said that the eldest prince planned something in advance and was stolen by the Tumen Khan. The Tumen Khan sent envoys to the army for a truce, and sent envoys to the capital to discuss peace!"

"Go, please come back!" Shen Xinniang ordered immediately.

She raised her hand and fondled Peregrine Falcon's little head, and Peregrine Falcon rubbed against her palm, very satisfied.

The note was small and very short, and it didn't mention how the peregrine falcon came to deliver the letter.But obviously it is extremely convenient to have such a convenient messenger.

Fang Yan hurried back from the palace, and was very surprised when he saw the big bird standing on Shen Xinniang's shoulder.He may have the same worries as Shen Xinniang at the beginning, but seeing the relaxed expression on Shen Xinniang's face, he has an intuition that it will not be a bad thing.

When he saw the note Shen Xiniang handed him, he was completely sure, "This is Yu Miao's handwriting! This bird is really useful!"

Peregrine Falcon seemed to understand, and his chest stood tall.

Fang Yan couldn't help laughing, and tightly held the note sent by Yu Miao in his hand, "The foreign aggression should be eliminated first, then now, it's time for Qing Jun to side."

As his voice became heavy, the smile on his face disappeared.In the eyes as deep as the stars in the dark night, there are incomprehensible emotions.

Shen Xinniang sighed, "What needs to be uncovered must be uncovered, whether you can bear it or not, you have to face it."

Fang Yan hooked the corners of his mouth, but there was no smile in his eyes, "I just feel that the world is impermanent and everything will change. Desire is a strange thing. If you control it well, it is motivation. If you don't control it well, it will turn people back. can be swallowed together.”

Shen Xinniang nodded. For some reason, his words reminded her of Yu Tai and Lingshan back then.If Yu Tai hadn't been swallowed up by the desire in his heart, maybe he was still a famous general galloping on the battlefield, maybe Lingshan is still calm and indifferent, like a paradise.Maybe I'm still that heartless Mu Ling, cooking all kinds of delicacies for the master, secretly hiding the spiritual spring water for the person who said he wanted to marry her...

Desire is nothing but an invisible and intangible thing in people's hearts. It may be very small, but it can change so much, change the fate of so many people, and even make the world turbulent...

"I want to ask him personally, what is his desire? What is in his heart that drives him from a loyal minister to this treacherous minister." Fang Yan said slowly, turned and went out.

Shen Xinniang looked at his back, and involuntarily there was a layer of blurred water in her eyes.

She closed her eyes, and there seemed to be heat flowing over her face. She was a little surprised, and raised her hand to touch it, and her face was wet.she cried?Realizing that she was crying, Shen Xinniang felt very inexplicable.

She should be happy now, why would she cry?Ever since she died once and became Shen Xinniang, no matter before or after she remembered the past, she never shed tears.It seems that I have forgotten what it feels like to cry.Now the inexplicable tears made her feel a little helpless.

She took out the handkerchief and wiped off the water marks on her face. Fang Yan's figure had already left the yard and was out of sight.

Fang Yan ordered Gongsun Ling to mobilize the Shence Army to surround the Prime Minister's Mansion.

The Shence Army even guarded every gate in the capital, beware of other high-ranking officials in the capital colluding with Cai Xiang on this matter.In General Xie's mansion, people were sent to watch closely to make sure that General Xie was in the mansion and could not go to the barracks again.

Cai Xiangfu was surrounded, and the house was in chaos. Women and children hugged each other, and there was a faint cry.The men of Cai Xiang's family were all in a hurry, wanting to find out what happened to the family.But the encirclement came too suddenly, there was no warning at all before, but now I want to inquire, but I have nowhere to go.

He wanted to ask the elderly Cai Xiang to say something to appease everyone in the family, but Cai Xiangye locked himself in the flower hall of the main courtyard and saw no one.

"Master, please come out and take a walk into the palace?" Gongsun Ling said at the gate of Cai Xiang's house.

The male family of Cai Xiang's family was very embarrassed, "My lord father locked himself in the flower hall, and no one was allowed to enter, and he refused to say anything. There is nothing I can do about it?"

Gongsun Ling saw that the embarrassment on the faces of the people did not seem to be feigned, so he frowned, and went to the flower hall in the main courtyard of Xiangfu, and sure enough, he saw that the door of the flower hall was closed. Cai Xiang is old but has a majestic voice, "I only see the king of Qi, and others should not enter."

After all, he is the old prime minister. Although the king of Qi already knew about Cai Xiang's collusion with the enemy, he is now going to interrogate this matter, but he has not yet reached the stage of interrogation. The crime of collaborating with the enemy has not been announced to the world. As a general, he can't be too rude in front of Prime Minister Cai.

Gongsun Ling shook his head, "Go invite Prince Qi."

Before he left Xiangfu a few steps, he saw the car of Qi Wangfu driving towards the gate of Xiangfu.After the carriage was firmly parked, Fang Yan got out of the carriage.

"Cai Xiangye refused to come out, and specified that he wanted to see the prince." Gongsun Ling stepped forward and said with cupped hands.

King Qi nodded, "It's just right, I also want to see Mr. Xiang."

Fang Yan stepped into the prime minister's mansion. Sure enough, when he approached the flower hall, the people inside were quiet and did not object.Fang Yan stretched out his hand and opened the door, and the elderly Cai Xiangzheng sat upright, with a very calm expression, not as anxious and anxious as the other men in the Cai family.

Even when he saw King Qi, he smiled at King Qi and stretched out his hand to greet him.

King Qi stepped into the flower hall.

Cai Xiang immediately ordered the people outside to close the door, "There are some things I just want to say to the prince. It's better not to listen to others."

Even Gongsun Ling, who was following King Qi, was stopped outside the door.

King Qi nodded, "Alright."

The servants of Xiangfu closed the door, and in the flower hall, one host and one guest took their seats.Originally, King Qi should sit on the main seat. Although this is the prime minister's mansion, the status of Prince Qi is more noble after all.

But today, I don't know if Cai Xiang is in a daze, or if he knows that something has happened to him, he simply put aside the etiquette and rules, and didn't care about anything.
