MTL - Love Like the Galaxy-Chapter 166

For the next few days, Shaoshang waited quietly in Yong'an Palace, not waiting for the change of Yuan's case, but waiting for the news that Cheng's mother was seriously ill, Cheng Xiao and his wife did not dare to delay any more , has already sent someone to tell Cheng Zhi and the others to take a leave of absence from Xiangfeng and go home.

During this period, the second prince was running around in and out, and people from all walks of life appeared one after another. His Royal Highness was a little unhappy. In his opinion, the most important thing for the imperial court today is the implementation of the national policy of Dutian, but there are always some messy things to **** the public opinion page of Dutian - such as someone's engagement and divorce and the scandalous scandal.

"

The prince thought for a while, and said: "Father, my son also wants to avenge Weng Gong, but according to my son, Yuan Pei is only confused and has no intention of not being a minister; The Weng and Yuan families are the same, so why bother?"

The emperor said: "Well, in fact, you will know in the future, the court is not afraid of the family, but they are afraid that they will work together - if there is disagreement, it doesn't matter, just put some pressure on it for the monarch."

Uncle Weng was a well-known figure during his lifetime, so he had many admirers. When he died at the hands of assassins, the family and their vassals cannot be said to be indignant and regretful. Half of the drastic measures today are In order to vent his anger; however, Jiaodong Yuan is not an unknown person, and he is not a bully.

The torture and extortion of confessions that Shao Shang was worried about did not happen. Although Ji Zun was known as a torturer, he was not stupid. After listening to the fifth confession, the cause of the year was basically clarified—obviously the fifth After Cheng was tricked into assassinating Uncle Weng Jun, Yuan Pei learned the truth and knew that his righteous brother was being used.

Yuan Pei also confessed to these confessions after being imprisoned, and said that he was wrong and willing to let the court go, but refused to admit that the Weng family members added other charges.

The jailers along the way looked sideways.

Due to the preciousness of caramel, it was not easy for people to eat it at this time, but Shao Shang knew that if it was to make people feel happy, they had to count sweets. So she tried her best to put all kinds of sweet and dreamy pies and puff pastry cakes in turn, wrapped in thick tarpaulin, which was easy to store and relieved hunger.

, you can recruit for your father, have you colluded with Gongsun's rebels?! Last year, when the imperial court conquered the middle of Shu, was your family a thief from inside and outside?!"

The second prince looked around and found that Yuan Pei was nowhere to be seen, and said softly, "It turns out that the father and son of the Yuan family were detained separately; alas, seeing the Anyang clan's brother being so indignant, I'm just afraid of trouble."

Shao Shang whispered: "Your Highness, rest assured, Prince Anyang is nothing to worry about." She saw that Yuan Shen's clothes were still neat, and she estimated that Yuan's servants could come in to serve, so she felt relieved.

"How do you know." The second prince was strange.

"If he has the ability, he will scold the main criminal, and he will not entangle Ah Shen here - it can be seen that he can't even enter the cell where Yuan Zhoumu is being held."

The second prince smiled.

Yuan Shen sat on the straw mat and retorted: "Sir, don't spit your blood. When my Yuan sect voted for your majesty, your majesty would have no more than 100,000 soldiers. However, Yuan sect believed that your majesty was talented and strategic, and it was to help the world. The righteous master, Renjun, did not hesitate to join his command. According to the prince, the Yuan family was willing to help out when His Majesty was alone, but when His Majesty was about to rule the world, the Yuan family colluded with Gongsun, who had only a few days left. Your Majesty? Your Highness, could it be that the Yuan family is full of idiots!"

The prince of Anyang choked, and the second prince quickly stepped forward: "These accusations are ridiculous, no wonder the father and emperor suppressed these memorials the day before yesterday."

The Prince of Anyang was about to open his mouth, his nose noticed the existence of Shaoshang before his eyes, and he raised his eyebrows: "Yo, isn't this Young Lady Cheng, the commander of Yong'an Palace? I heard that your family is with Yuan My family retired, why did you come here? Could it be that your love is over? Huo Buzhu doesn't care about you."

"My concubine has seen His Royal Highness. Alas, my concubine's life is so hard, I can't say it out of my grievances."

The prince of Anyang looked at the girl Tingting's curling figure, his eyes were straight, and he unconsciously softened his tone: "Cough, if you have any grievances, you might as well tell this prince."

Yuan Shen rolled his eyes behind the iron bars, took the food cage handed over by the second prince, and pulled out the bottom layer, hey, why is it Wangba soup? Did she do it on purpose. Take a bite, um, it's salty and delicious, mushrooms are delicious, and I feel much better.

Shao Shang took out a fine linen veil and pressed it under his eyes, and stood gently beside the Prince of Anyang: "Alas, the prince doesn't know something, the life of a cheap concubine is hard, these years have been married and retired. It's three in and three out, and every unmarried husband-in-law will get into a lawsuit, and the future is uncertain, so people outside say that the concubine is a bastard!" As he spoke, he was about to cry.

Prince Anyang's heart is full of pity and cherishing jade: "Which **** who has been blinded by his heart and liver is talking nonsense! Everyone in the palace knows that you have done your best to serve the Queen Mother over the years. How many times has your majesty praised you! What! Broom Star, Lou Ben and Huo Budoubt have nothing to do with you seeking death, don't you marry Yuan, Yuan Pei won't do anything wrong?

"Really?" The beautiful girl's eyes turned red.

"It's true!" Prince Anyang almost forgot the purpose of his trip, and finally he was worried about Huo Buxuan and didn't dare to get too close to the girl.

"However, everyone is talking about gold, accumulating bones."

"Those who criticize you are ugly **** who can't marry!"

"Your Highness is a kind and generous gentleman."

"Alas, dare not dare to take it!"

"It's been a long time since I listened to such heartwarming words. The prince's heart is so good, the concubine doesn't know what to say."

"Don't say anything, don't say anything! Wipe away your tears, oh yo, this is poor!"

The second prince shook his head and smiled bitterly, Yuan Shen bit the honey shortbread expressionlessly, and a steady stream of sweet pulp flowed out, um, look at the fat head and big ears of the prince of Anyang Not so nasty anymore.

"His Royal Highness is so kind, the concubine has to say a few words from the bottom of my heart." Shao Shang led the prince of Anyang to sit on the Hu bench beside him, and he also sat aside, "Master Weng Gong When he was alive, he was a rare talent in both civil and military affairs under His Majesty's command. Wen Neng was eloquent and eloquent, and he recruited and surrendered the lords who were self-respecting. Wu Neng was able to lead a large army to conquer. His Royal Highness has such an uncle, and it is also honored to think about it."

The Prince of Anyang sighed heavily: "The person I admire most in my life is my uncle! ... Oh, and Your Majesty."

"But unfortunately, Duke Weng was slaughtered by assassins, and the young son of the Weng family has not yet reached the crown. Now it seems that the major affairs of the Weng family will fall on the two adults of the Weng family... "

The prince of Anyang said displeased: "Second uncle is not virtuous, it would be good not to cause trouble for the Weng family! This time it is an old master who has followed his uncle for decades, and he is also Contact each family."

Shao Shangji Festival praised: "Alas, worthy ministers and loyal servants, respectable style!"

The Prince of Anyang showed a complacent look on his face: "This old master is loyal and loyal. In order to repay his uncle's life-saving and knowing kindness, he decided to assist the Weng family all his life."

"Well said, the world is difficult to repay, only kindness!" Shaoshang responded loudly, "Because of this, the concubine had to persuade His Highness. Now things are clearer, It is true that the 50th percentile was deceived and assassinated, Yuan Zhoumu deliberately concealed the truth, but the Yuan family's plots are nonsense... Does Your Highness think that Your Majesty is not clear?"

The Prince of Anyang hesitated.

"The son and the concubine of the Weng family feel the same indignation, but Your Highness, the deceased is gone, you have to think about the living. The concubine often heard people say in the palace, Prince Anyang always likes to praise the virtuousness of the prince's several concubines, alas, my concubine dared to say, if Lord Weng was still alive, how could the prince suffer this grievance."

Prince Anyang sullenly slapped his legs.

The second prince watched helplessly as his clan brother was swept in step by step, and couldn't help whispering to Yuan Shen through the iron fence: "Has she always been like this?"

Yuan Shen said with a stern face: "...from time to time." In fact, it is 'often', as long as he is a little careless, she will be fooled by her fluttering eyelashes and red toot mouth. live.

"...Fortunately, the concubine heard that the young son of the Weng family has been successful in studying, and it is just around the corner to come to the Weng family, but before that, His Royal Highness should support the Weng family."

"How to support?" Anyang prince spontaneously felt a sense of responsibility that was valued and expected by others.

"Yuan Zhou Mu kills his mouth and covers up his guilt for his righteous brother. Speaking of which, it is not acceptable but excusable, right?"

"...also." Prince Anyang hesitated.

"Your Majesty is the most caring person, right?"

"Good."

"In this case, if you are guilty, you will be punished. If you are wrong, you will be corrected. The court's decrees are not good-looking. With your Majesty's affection for Duke Weng, how can you easily let go of the culprit and the culprit? Yuan Zhoumu must be You will be punished properly. Why should Your Highness be a villain? If you insist on adding some false accusations, it will make Your Majesty feel that His Highness is not charitable or righteous. Do you think so?”

The Prince of Anyang suddenly said: "Miss Cheng is right!"

The young merchant quickly winked at the second prince who was watching the play, and the second prince stepped forward and said, "Cheng Gongling is right, my brother and I have been playing together since childhood, and I know that my brother is upright by nature , I'm not a conscientious person, but I can't prevent outsiders from talking about it - Besides, does my brother think that the royal father will like people who fall into trouble?"

Prince Anyang shook his head quickly.

, let them be calm and not irritable, and convince people with reason. Yes, no, no, harassment will only hurt feelings, forge hatred, and even fall into the fame of Duke Weng before his death! Your Majesty will feel it when he sees it. Your Highness is virtuous and kind, isn't it?"

The Prince of Anyang was stunned for a moment, shook his head, nodded, and then walked out in a trance.

The second prince watched the clan brother leave, and said with a smile: "I didn't see that Shaoshang had this ability; I don't know if Brother Anyang will do the same?"

Shao Shang said: "If the old master is really as powerful as the prince said, he should know that what I said is true." The two will become mortal enemies.

She turned her attention to Yuan Shen who was inside the iron railing, and smiled: "Well, today's dim sum is especially delicious. Don't say I'm disloyal, I'll boil the candy that I boiled in the past few months. It's all added in!"

Yuan Shen slanted: "Isn't it because the Queen Mother can't eat more sweets since last year?"

"Don't eat it if you don't like it, give it back to me!" Shaoshang immediately turned his face.

"I don't pay it back! You've returned it to me so well, what's wrong with eating some of your snacks!"

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, the second prince hurriedly smoothed things out: "Hey, alright, let's talk about the business first, let's talk about the business first! Good view, what did your family say about this?"

Yuan Shen restrained his face and said sadly: "Father said, it is true that he acted inappropriately, and it seems that punishment is inevitable - the truth is that the father deceived the superior and the inferior, and the servant was dishonest. Alas, I only hope that my father can escape this disaster." He is also a child of a noble family, and he was pitted by his father, which is indeed fate.

"The total sin will not kill you." The second prince said.

Shao Shang pouted: "It's hard to say, that Mr. Han who talked back to His Majesty back then couldn't have committed suicide, didn't he still commit suicide?"

Yuan Shendao: "That's what I'm afraid of. If things get bigger and bigger, my father doesn't want to hurt us..."

"So it's better to cut the mess quickly." Shaoshang said, "By the way, what about Liang Zhoumu? What did he say." Uncle Liang is now the highest official in the Yuan and Liang families.

Yuan Shen hesitantly said: "...I haven't been here since my uncle for a few days, and I only told my father on the first day that I didn't say anything except admitting the murder and expressing remorse. There are claims."

Shao Shang was puzzled: "Didn't Liang Zhoumu tell you his plan?"

Yuan Shen also thought the same, but said in his mouth: "Cheng Gongling came to visit today, Shen is grateful. The Yuan family will take care of the rest, so I won't bother Cheng Gongling." He was still angry. Not yet.

Shao Shang glared: "Yuan Da Gongzi, there is a sentence that I don't know if I should say it or not."

"Don't say it if it's inappropriate."

"...don't brag about letting me be the third man's wife, if I were born a man, I'd be the third man, and you'd be the wife!"

The second prince couldn't help but burst out laughing while leaning against the wall, Yuan Shen's face was ashen, it was really wonderful.

After the unhappy breakup in the cell that day, Shao Shang waited for three or four days before Liang Zhoumu finally acted. Pei pleads.

Yes, it's a plea, not an excuse.

It is said that the tyrant of Gongsun has a younger brother named Gongsun Xian, who is shrewd and vicious. The general also died at the hands of the assassins he sent (Shao Shang felt that the security work of the court could be strengthened).

General Wu was furious because his two colleagues were stabbed one after another. After attacking the capital of the Gongsun clan, he not only executed the Gongsun clan and his clan, but also looted and burned the palace. The emperor was so angry that he didn't have time to reward General Wu for his contribution to Shu, so he punished him to go home and reflect on his own thoughts (Cui You, who was arrested and sent to replace the class, was very opinionated).

While General Wu was busy venting his anger, Gongsun Xian led his confidant to die, disguised himself as an escape from the capital of Shu, and hurried to South Vietnam. The emperor was very disturbed when he heard the news. After all, the Gongsun clan had been separated for more than ten years, and it could not be said that they had no prestige and connections in the middle of Shu.

However, the terrain in the middle of Shu is complicated, and all the people who chased and killed Gongsun Xian found nothing. He was found dead in a secluded inn at the foot of a certain mountain.

The woman among the three witnesses that Liang Wuji handed in was the widow of the friend who deceived the fifth percent.

The woman said: "Gongsun Xian, the dog thief, took the only son of our husband and wife as a hostage, and threatened the deceased husband to deceive the fifth hero. thing."

The fifth percent has been busy fighting Yuan Pei for more than 20 years, occasionally helping the people when she sees injustice, and she has never had any friendship with any political forces, plus the fifth percent has a wealthy family, He doesn't have to be greedy for money and silk, Ji Zun said that this is credible.

The other two men brought by Liang Wuji were station guards at the place where Gongsun Xian tragically died.

—Because of the rugged roads in Shu, the mountains and rivers, and the news is difficult to get through, they were still following Gongsun's decree at that time, so they were happy and attentive to receive Gongsun Xian and his party, who were exhausted from fleeing. Unexpectedly, a group of masked people broke in that night, and after a **** fight, Gongsun Xian and his dead men were restrained.

The servants and officers in the station were trembling with fear. Fortunately, although the group of masked men were sturdy, they did not hurt the people at the station. Instead, they told them that the Gongsun clan had been defeated and asked them to call Shangguan quickly. to surrender.

The two witnesses clearly remembered that the leader of the masked men with outstanding martial arts, at first just rode on a horse and glanced coldly. A stone tablet used for posting notices in front of the inn was smashed. After cutting off Gongsun Xian's limbs, the leader once loudly said "atonement for the righteous brother and revenge for the two colleagues" before taking the thief's head.

Ji Zun also asked several generals who had served under Yuan Pei, and they all said that Yuan Pei did have the power to crack the stone, so Ji Zun wrote down the results of the trial. , sent to the emperor's imperial case.

Public opinion has changed.

If Gongsun Xian is allowed to escape into the miasma-covered Nanzhong, it will be difficult for heavy troops to arrive at that time, and it will be extremely difficult for your Weng and Chen families to seek revenge.

In the next day's meeting, even if a high-ranking official like General Wu insisted on punishing Yuan Pei, his tone was not as fierce and angry as before; , not only innocent, but also rewarded.

Ji Zunbing said bluntly: "Yuan Pei was confused and killed his righteous brother to cover up the guilt and silenced, this is a crime; however, he secretly pursued the execution of Gongsun Xian, and reported on behalf of the two adults Weng Chen. Enemy, and a major disaster for the court, this is a merit. The merits and demerits are balanced, and it is all right to be lightly punished, please Your Majesty."

Old man Ji's opinion was approved by the majority of people, however, the difficulty in this world is 'everything'.

How to 'sent lightly and lightly'? Again puzzled.

After Ji Zun made his comments, he returned to Tingwei's mansion with his court clothes, first transferred Yuan Pei to the permanent room for custody, and then released Yuan Shen first.

Yuan Shen went home to bathe and change clothes, and then discussed with Liang Zhoumu and his staff for a full day. Everyone hoped that the guilt of this matter could be minimized, so that it would not affect the Yuan Liang family. previous plan.

After that, Liang Zhoumu went to contact relatives and friends of various parties and asked them to intercede for the Yuan family, but Yuan Shen, who was still 'suspended for inspection', planned to find Shaoshang. Liang Zhoumu teased: "It doesn't matter if the old relationship is revived. Anyway, thank you Mrs. Cheng for your help. King Huai'an has said something for your father these few days."

Yuan Shen bypassed the guards in the North Palace and entered Yong'an Palace directly from the upper east gate, only to find that Zhai Concubine was sullen, and the little palace maids covered their mouths and chuckled. When he asked what was wrong, a little Huangmen smiled and said, "Huohou is here, and Mrs. Cheng is hiding in the kitchen and refuses to meet."

Yuan Shen's heart moved, and he fluttered his sleeves and handed over: "Alright, I have something to say to Huo Hou."

The handsome young man with broad shoulders, beetles, arms and waist was sitting alone under the empty porch. In front of him was a small medicine stove that was faintly gleaming. Grab a handful of girls' small instant noodles and gently fan the fire.

Yuan Shen took off his shoes and walked over slowly.

Huo Budo slightly turned his head back and called out before he saw the person coming: "Yuan Shizhong?"

Yuan Shen went around to Huo Budo: "How do you know it's me."

Huo Budoubt said: "Your walking voice is very recognizable....Please sit down." In fact, he can recognize the footsteps of many people.

Yuan Shen sat down with a robe.

Yuan Shen said, "Is the Empress Dowager still asleep?"

"Yes."

The atmosphere was silent, Yuan Shen wanted to ask questions, but did not know how to speak, Huo Budo opened his mouth leisurely: "I heard that the Cheng family has returned the Wending token sent by your family, and your family has also It's time to return the Cheng family's token."

Yuan Shen was angry and said: "You are in a hurry now, what have you done in the past few years! Pretend to be giving up, and everyone has the wind and rain passed down with the lady of the Luo family. It's all like you're going to be done!"

You are fine." Huo Budo said.

"Don't want to get married?" Yuan Shen laughed, but seeing Huo Busu's solemn expression, not like a joke, he asked irritably, "If that's the case, why are you struggling now!"

Huo Budoubt said: "I thought about it later, I still can't watch Shaoshang marry someone else, so it's better for you to leave."

Yuan Shen:…

The sky is dead, and there is something to burn incense.

Yuan Shen held his breath secretly, Huo Budo glanced at him again: "Yuan Zhoumu is too forbearing, if he had told the truth early, he would not have been imprisoned, let alone It will hinder your Yuan Liang family's plans."

Yuan Shen looked around vigilantly: "Huohou, what are our plans?"

Huo Budo twitched the corner of his mouth lightly: "Don't worry, Zhai Concubine is still annoyed at me, and ordered no palace maids and eunuchs to come and serve."

After a pause, he continued, "It is not appropriate for your father and Liang Wuji to share the money and grain of a state's army, horses, and horses. So this time your father came to the city to report his duties, originally intending to resign from His Majesty and exchange for Enter the center. Is it or is it not? Well, this plan is not bad, it will be bright and dark, and it will be thoughtful inside and out.

Hearing that the secret plan of his own parents was spoken lightly by the other party, Yuan Shen froze in his heart: "Huohou's father would never dare to act like this."

Huo Budo smiled: "It's fine."

Yuan Shen couldn't help but said, "Why is it 'it's fine', can't my father enter the center?"

"It's not 'no entry', but it's better not to go in." Huo Budo looked sideways at the flowers and trees in the courtyard, a few dark blue veins loomed on his white and slender neck.

Yuan Shen opened his mouth to speak, but stopped, Huo Budo didn't look at him, but continued to look at Huashu: "You became famous at a young age, Your Majesty has repeatedly praised you for being erudite and talented, acting prudently, and all the ministers in the court. Many sons are not enough, and now your father is going to enter the center, plus Liang Wuji, who dominates one state, and Qu’s children all over the county—do you think others are not afraid?”

He turned around and looked at Yuan Shen: "Are you three ready to fight against the prosperous hero?"

"No, no, how could this be..." Yuan Shen was shocked.

"I heard that Liang Zhoumu has been lobbying for the past two days, inviting celebrities and officials to intercede on behalf of Lingzun?" Huo Budo smiled, "Listen to my advice, don't do this."

Yuan Shen was shocked, because Liang Wuji was an elder, although he felt it was inappropriate, he did not object. He put away the knot in his heart and said sincerely: "Huohou please give me some advice on how my family should behave."

Hearing Yuan Shen changed his tone, Huo Budo admired it a bit, and then said: "Your father and son and the Yuan's sons in the court should resign together, frankly and deeply sinned, and now regret it a lot, Please shut up and think about it."

"Does it take retreat to advance?" Yuan Shen was pleasantly surprised—in fact, he thought so too.

"No." Huo Budoubt said, "You are advancing by retreating, and your honor is really retreating."

Yuan Shen smiled.

"First, Ling Zun is very old and has suffered a lot of injuries over the past few decades. Even if he enters the center, he will not be able to survive the young and powerful confidants around His Majesty. Second, Yuan Zhoumu is at fault after all. First, impunity is not enough to convince the public. If you want to retreat, it is not impossible, but the loss outweighs the gain. Third, if you try your best to be patient, Your Majesty and the Crown Prince will regard your father and son as sincere gentlemen, and those old Jianghu will also Put down your guard, and when you come back in the future, I will treat you leniently." Huo Budoubt said.

Yuan Shen thought for a moment, then said, "Your Majesty will really appoint Yuan's children again in the future?"

"Naturally. Although His Majesty is close to the hero, he doesn't want the family to dominate. If there are other forces to check and balance, why not do it - maybe, only your honor needs to think about it behind closed doors."

"In this case, maybe His Majesty will deny our father and son's resignation in order to check and balance the court."

"Your Majesty deceives the superior and conceals the inferior, and seeks to make up for it later. If the ministers follow suit, what will your Majesty do? It is better to punish him. "

Yuan Shen was silent.

"Yuan Shizhong still remembers the Lou family." Huo Budo said.

Yuan Shen said sourly: "Even if I forget the family that I have agreed with Shao, Huo Hou can't forget it."

Huo Budo ignored his sneering and said without changing his face: "In those days everyone said that His Majesty was gracious, and Lou Ben did such a maddening thing, but he was only exiled and dismissed the Lou brothers. But I don't know, it's better to kill a few heads."

"How to say this."

If you are filial and honest, or you are summoned by an edict, you will no longer have the names of Lou's children."

Yuan Shen nodded: "Yes. Except for the Lou Yao, at least for a few generations, it is difficult for the Lou family to get involved in the court." This is the devastating blow to the Lou family.

Huo Budo used a bamboo chopstick to gently prop up the lid of the medicine jar to check the cooking situation of the soup in the wok: "The struggle is not contention, and the contention is contention. As you get older, Yuan Shizhong's splendid future will come—but if you think I have ulterior motives, you can ignore my advice."

Yuan Shen couldn't help but said, "You robbed my fiancée and made my family the talk of the city. Do you still expect me to trust you?"

Huo Budo put down the bamboo chopsticks and continued to fan the fire lightly: "Not bad. Because I am the 'outsider' in this capital who is looking forward to you the most."

Yuan Shen laughed and laughed, suddenly his heart moved, and said: "So, you killed Gongsun Xian for my father?"

Huo Budo gave him a light look.

Yuan Shen continued: "I asked the uncle of the Liang family, and he said that the ins and outs of those witnesses were shot into his house with a flying arrow one night, and then he could trace the evidence. -Is that what you did?"

The corridor was quiet for a while, and a wisteria branch with broken stamens slanted into the eaves, Huo Busu was tall and could touch his head. He looked at the flower vines above his head and said softly, "Yes, I killed Gongsun Xian and his party."

"You, what are you...why...?" Yuan Shen was in a complicated mood.

Huo Budo reached out and took off a small flower ball, and gently jiggled it in his strong palm: "...after the settlement in the border village, I will ask someone to check on the current situation of Shaoshang. Among the people who marry her, you are the best. Not only do you truly love her, but you also have the most perseverance. In all likelihood, Shaoshang will marry you in the future. From then on, I began to pay attention to the Yuan family secretly."

"Last year during the battle to conquer Shu, I noticed that Ling Zun's behavior was different, and after searching for the root cause, I realized that the fifth was confused and caused a big disaster. The rice is already cooked, and it is useless to let Ling Zun admit his mistake at that time. Well, so I spent a lot of effort tracking down Gongsun Xian and his party, catching up and killing everyone, and leaving some living testimony as witnesses."

Yuan Shen felt that his throat was blocked, and it was difficult to speak: "You, you are for... for less business...?"

Huo Budo raised his head and quietly admitted: "Yes. I once said that I am the person who looks forward to your goodness the most - this is the truth, both before and now. Before , I look forward to Shaoshang's life after marrying you, and if something happens to your father and son, what will she do?"

Yuan Shen was stunned.

He remembered what Liang Wuji conveyed from the witnesses - Gongsun Xian's confidant was extremely fierce, and the masked warrior who led the stele cracking stone was also not lightly injured; Injured, galloping for dozens of miles in the rain at night, just to...?

"Now, I hope Shaoshang doesn't always feel sorry for you. If you have a bad life, Shaoshang may go to give you Wangba soup and crow soup or something, then I should what to do?"

Yuan Shen: "...no crow soup."

"Oh, yes. I've been away for nearly six years, and I don't know many things." Huo Budo's expression was calm, but the hidden sourness was almost gushing out.

This time Yuan Shen didn't laugh or ridicule.

He walked down the steps, head down, and was caught by Shao Shang in front of the Yongan Palace.

"Hey, I just found out that you are here, what happened to your family, you have been released, so there must be no serious trouble. Shangshutai is talking a lot... Hehe, you know , the prince of Anyang interceded for you, and I don't know who taught him a rhetoric of benevolence and righteousness, what's the minister resenting the Yuan family, but the talent is rare, for the sake of the overall situation, the minister is willing to give up the previous hatred', hehe, lol I'm dead, but unfortunately no one saw the way he scolded you in the Tingwei Mansion a few days ago..."

Listening to the girl's chattering, Yuan Shen was confused.

He always felt that it was not a good thing to be too affectionate. The uncontrollable affection made his brave and easy father depressed, his virtuous and infatuated mother suffered a lifetime, and made him lonely since childhood. …

"Shao Shang." He suddenly interrupted the girl, "Gongsun Xian was not killed by my father, but by Huo Buzhu. He deliberately used my father's name to protect the Yuan family in the future. , all for you!"

Shao Shang was stunned like a puppet.

Yuan Shen finished in one breath: "There is a person, in the loneliness and bitter cold, when there is no hope, still watching you secretly, protecting you - you hear clearly, I don't Take his favor, but you have to take it!"

After saying this, he disregarded his more than 20 years of upbringing and demeanor and ran away, not wanting the girl to see the tears in his eyes.
