Chapter 382 Secret
Chang'an, Duke Zhao's Mansion.
"Bang"
A white porcelain tea cup fell to the ground and shattered into pieces.
Changsun Wuji stared angrily, the veins on his forehead were bulging and winding like a green snake, his well-maintained face was now flushed, and his beard under his chin was windless.
"You are an adult and have experienced a lot in the officialdom. How could you do such a stupid thing? Those Turks do not know etiquette and have no sense of loyalty. Their betrayal and ruthlessness are commonplace. How can you let the handle fall into their hands?" Being restrained by it? ”
Changsun Wuji was heartbroken, almost biting his back molars and roaring in a low voice.
Changsun Chong stood in front of him tremblingly, with his head lowered and reluctant to speak.
Changsun Wuji had a feeling of helplessness as he hated iron for not being able to become steel. Looking at his frustrated son, he couldn't help but wonder in his heart, is this still his smart and Yuxiu son? He acted so recklessly without thinking about how serious the consequences would be!
Taking a deep breath, Changsun Wuji suppressed the anger in his heart and said helplessly: "Have you forgotten that time seven years ago? Our Changsun family is not afraid of doing wrong things. Even the biggest mistakes can be made by our father." I support you. But as the saying goes, there is nothing you can do better than knowing your mistakes. Why do you make mistakes in the same place again and again? I am deeply disappointed!"
Use ten carts of refined iron to hire Turks to attack Shenji camp at night?
Thank you for thinking about it!
They are simply naive to the extreme. Not to mention that Shenjiying and Fang Jun have not been annihilated in one fell swoop. Even if Fang Jun is annihilated, do you think you can get rid of the Turks?
The Turks are not very smart, but they cannot be regarded as gentlemen who keep their promises. If those barbarians try to blackmail you, they will not care about their face at all, until they break your bones and suck out your marrow!
How could such a smart kid be so confused?
After hearing his father talking about seven years ago, Changsun Chong bit his lip, a trace of violence flashed across his expression, and he finally couldn't bear it anymore.
He could be beaten and scolded, but he just couldn't stand his father's expression of extreme disappointment!
Changsun Chong suddenly raised his head, looked at Changsun Wuji with bloodshot eyes, and roared in a low voice: "I just hate it! I just don't accept it! What ability does Fang Jun have? Why do both of them regard him as a pillar of talent! My eldest son, Sun Chong, has been a courteous corporal, diligent and knowledgeable over the years, and has taken care of his duties in an orderly manner. However, everyone thinks that this is what I should do. It is normal to do well, and there is no oversight at all. , then don’t criticize, why? I spent ten carts of fine iron to bribe Yugushe to send troops to attack Fang Jun at night, but there is no evidence, who can do anything to me? Moreover, I can guarantee that Fang Jun is absolutely impossible? Return to Chang'an alive! I want him to die! Not only him, but also the current prince, I will throw him into the abyss of eternal damnation, not just with one leg..."
"Crack!"
Changsun Wuji raised his hand and slapped him hard, causing Changsun to stagger and said angrily: "Shut up, I! Some words will rot in your stomach for the rest of your life. Even if you are with your own father, you will have to break up." You have to mention one more word! Otherwise, not only you, but the whole family will be implicated, remember this!”
Changsun Chong covered his face, feeling a burning sting, but his mind became much clearer. After hearing this, he said in a panic: "Yes, father, the child will never dare to do it again..."
Changsun Wuji looked gloomy, stood up, walked two steps in front of Changsun Chong and stood still. He looked directly at Changsun Chong, hesitated for a moment, and asked: "You and the princess...do you have something to hide?"
"No!" Changsun Chong's expression changed and he blurted out.
Later, seeing that Changsun Wuji's face was still full of doubts, he had to say: "Then Fang Jun composed the song "Shuo Ai Lian", and the child has become the laughing stock of Chang'an. Even the princess's lust was also damaged, and the child couldn't get angry, so he I want to bribe the Turks and kill Fangjun! As for the child and the princess, there is no problem..."
Changsun Wuji shook his head.
In his lifetime, when it comes to political achievements, he is not as good as Fang Xuanling. But when it comes to reading people's hearts, the two Fang Xuanlings are no match for him!
Judging from Changsun Chong's wandering eyes and guilty expression, his words were somewhat untrue.
After thinking about it, Changsun Wuji finally asked: "But in my opinion, between you and the princess, there is more respect than admiration, and more courtesy than intimacy. It really deserves the metaphor of 'respecting each other as a guest', but it is not like the recent one." couple..."
Ordinarily, as a father, he should strictly abide by the rules and would never discuss the relationship between husband and wife with his son. But Changsun Wuji really couldn't help but want to ask. The young couple seemed to be in love, but in fact they always kept people at a distance, which inevitably aroused suspicion.
The most important thing is that the two have been married for many years, but Lin'er has never been born...
This had to make Changsun Wuji suspicious.
Facing his father's burning gaze, Changsun Chong turned pale and his heart was pounding.
He forced an awkward smile and denied: "It's nothing... my father is worrying too much. The relationship between the child and the princess... has always been very good."
Changsun Wuji didn't believe it.
After pondering for a long time, he decided: "You have been married to the princess for many years and have never had children. After a few days, my father asked Your Majesty to take a concubine for you. Having children and carrying on the family line are top priorities. Your Majesty will not be biased against you because of this.”
Changsun Chong couldn't laugh anymore and said calmly: "This...isn't it necessary? The child and the princess have always had a good relationship. The father's move will definitely make the princess sad. This...besides, if there is something wrong with the princess's body, wouldn't it? Making her even more embarrassed..."
"You don't need to say anything!"
Changsun Wuji interrupted him and said coldly: "So what if it's embarrassing? If you can't carry on the family lineage for my eldest grandson, it's just a memorial tablet. What's the use of it? You can rest assured. If His Majesty punishes you for this, you will be your own father." Go and plead with His Majesty..."
"Pa"
A short, soft cracking sound came from outside the house.
The expressions of the father and son changed drastically, they were so frightened that they looked at each other subconsciously. If the words just said reached His Majesty’s ears, it would be a heinous crime!
Changsun Chong, who was strong and vigorous, rushed to the door in one stride, opened the door, and saw a bird's nest spilled on the ground in the corridor beside the door, and the white porcelain soup bowl had been shattered.
Changsun Chong ran out suddenly and shouted to the servant guarding a foot away from the door: "Who was here just now?"
The servant was startled by Zhang Sun Chong's ferocious face. He quickly knelt down on one knee and said, "Her Highness the Princess brought you a bird's nest, but she accidentally dropped it..."
"Where are the people?" Changsun Chong asked urgently.
"Um...already gone..."
This is Changsun Wuji walking out of the room and asking in a low voice: "Who is it?"
Changsun Chong had a pale face and said dullly: "It's the princess..."
Changsun Wuji was also stunned for a moment, with a gloomy look on his face as he thought about countermeasures.
I just wonder if the princess heard the conversation between father and son just now? If so, how much did you hear?
Suddenly, even the cunning and wise Changsun Wuji felt extremely troubled.
He was not afraid that the princess would hear what he said next. It only represented a father's concern for his children. Even if His Majesty knew about it, it would only make His Majesty unhappy and would not be a big deal.
But if you heard the first half...
Changsun Chong took a deep breath: "My child, let's go see the princess..."
"No matter what, the princess must be stabilized." Changsun Wuji said with a gloomy face.
"No! I understand..." The eldest grandson bowed his head and hurried to the backyard.
*********
The embroidered building is dyed with fragrance, and the bead curtain hangs low.
Sandalwood is burning in the bronze animal furnace, there is fragrant tea on the jade table, and the brocade embroidered couch. The warm autumn sun is cut into pieces by the sycamore trees outside the building. Pieces of yellow leaves fall in the wind, and through the windows on the window Glass shows the final poignancy...
Princess Changle stood quietly in front of the window, her clear eyes seemed to be chasing the falling leaves, but the mist that gradually became dense and misty seemed unfocused.
The profile of the face, as beautiful as a chisel, was as cold as a jade carving without a trace of warmth.
Her delicate and slender body trembled slightly. Looking from a distance, she looked thin and elegant, as sad and helpless as the falling leaves outside the window...
"唔唔唔"
There were rapid footsteps behind him. Changsun Chong caught up with Xiulou, took a deep breath, and shouted: "Princess..."
Princess Changle turned a deaf ear and stood calmly without any fluctuation in her expression.
Changsun Chong swallowed, took a few steps forward, stood behind Princess Changle, stared at the light down on the back of her slender and white neck, and said softly: "Princess, don't blame father, he was just impetuous for a moment, you Don’t worry, I won’t follow my father’s wishes and take a concubine. Don’t you still understand my thoughts...”
He didn't know how much Princess Changle heard, so he could only test it like this.
Princess Changle turned around slightly, staring at Changsun Chong with a pair of clear eyes. Her extremely beautiful face remained unchanged, but her two pink lips were slightly opened, and she said softly: "What's on your mind? The heart is in your belly, who is it?" Who can know what is going on? ”
Changsun Chong's sword eyebrows frowned slightly, then straightened out, and said with a smile: "Princess, this is really embarrassing for me... Is it possible that I have to go out of my way to take it out and show it to the princess?"
In the past, this kind of slightly frivolous love talk was what Princess Changle liked to hear most. Whenever this happens, she will raise her eyebrows happily, purse her lips, and then use a slender jade finger that looks like a spring onion to gently draw a circle on Changsun Chong's chest...
But today, she only felt a bone-chilling chill rising from the bottom of her heart. It was so cold that the hairs on her hair stood up and it was as cold as bone marrow!
What exactly is this person hiding in his mind?
Those devilish words rang out in my mind, which was unbelievable!
Letting out a gentle breath, Princess Changle said calmly: "I will move to my aunt later, so you don't have to see me off."
In the midst of Changsun Chong's astonishment, her long eyelashes trembled and dropped to block her clear eyes. To Changsun Chong, her quiet voice sounded as elusive as floating in the sky: "I will never come back in the future. ..."(End of this chapter)
