Chapter 3390: Exogenous branches
Chang Sunxun walked out of the house, feeling as depressed and panicked as the snowy sky.
He is naturally aware of the entanglement between his brother and Princess Changle. Now he only sees that his brother is still paying a lot of attention to Princess Changle despite preparing for important events. It is obvious that he has always been grudges and refuses to let go.
He was puzzled. Back then, Princess Changle was filial to her parents-in-law and harmonious with her sisters-in-law. She was simply a model of virtue and virtue. Even though the relationship between the husband and wife was not good, which led to the final divorce, after all, the husband and wife were kind to each other for a hundred days, and everyone said goodbye. Wouldn't it be better to have two widths? However, my brother was so caring that he sneaked back to Chang'an two years ago and kidnapped Princess Changle, almost killing her...
As for what?
Furthermore, he didn't care too much whether these two people were dead or alive, but why did he have to leave such matters to him?
What if my brother gets angry and evil one day and kills Princess Changle? If the royal family investigates her, wouldn't he also be implicated?
He was frightened, angry, and at a loss. When he returned to his residence, he felt restless. After thinking for a long time, he called two of his followers and left the house together.
After riding a carriage and wandering around Chang'an City for a long time, he made sure that his brother had not sent anyone to follow him. Then he felt relieved and came to Prince Jiang's Mansion in Jingshanfang.
When the guard in front of the door saw the eldest grandson coming, he hurriedly went inside to hold the ceremony. After a while, he returned and a chamberlain led the eldest grandson straight into the house and took a seat in the flower hall.
The maid served the fragrant tea, and a moment later, Jiang Wang Li Yun, dressed in a brocade robe and wearing a forehead mop inlaid with white jade, came out from behind happily, sat on the chair carelessly, and said with a smile: "Why is the eldest grandson, Eight Lang, so happy today?" Come to my humble residence in your spare time? Haha, I have sent people to call you out several times, but you can’t see anyone. It seems that I can’t invite you to this big Buddha.”
Chang Sunxun smiled bitterly and said: "Your Highness, why are you sarcastic? There are many things at home these days, and I really have no time to go out. Your Highness, please forgive me."
The two of them are about the same age, one is a prince, the other is a son of a noble family, and they are aunt and uncle. They often play together and have a close friendship.
However, since Changsun Chongqian returned to Chang'an, he began to prepare for important events, and the children of Yan Jing's family were wandering around. Therefore, Jiang Wang Li Yun sent people several times to ask Changsun to come out to play, but he was rejected.
Li Yunqi asked: "What can happen to your family? Is it possible that your two brothers have been causing trouble a few days ago and haven't stopped?"
Changsun Yan made a huge mistake and was almost believed to be in disaster by the government and the public. However, just when he was walking around begging his grandfather to accuse his grandmother, his own brother stabbed him in the back, which almost caused Changsunyan to suffer death. disaster. This matter has been widely circulated in Chang'an City for a long time. This kind of drama of "brothers fighting each other and killing each other" is the most talked about and popular to see, and it has also made the eldest son's family a laughing stock among the aristocratic families.
It is common for brothers to quarrel with each other, but it is rare for eldest grandson Wen to want to trick his brother to death. This kind of behavior is also shamed by the family, and the deeds of the eldest grandson brother are used as "negative teaching materials" to warn their own families. Children.
The entire city of Chang'an is watching the Changsun family's joke...
However, these days, Changsun Yan has stayed behind closed doors, Changsun Wen has rarely appeared in public, and the matter has gradually faded away.
Changsun Xu's handsome face turned red, and he was a little ashamed. He waved his hands repeatedly and said: "That's not the case, it's because the eldest brother is back..."
Li Yun was about to say a few words of ridicule when he suddenly woke up, widened his eyes and said, "Who did you say is back? Changsun Chong?"
Changsun Xu hurriedly said: "Your Highness, please lower your voice! My eldest brother is still an imperial prisoner. If word spreads, it will definitely attract the officials of Jingzhao Mansion to come and arrest him."
Li Yun said loudly: "Nonsense! That guy committed the crime of treason and was punished by everyone. Now he dares to sneak back to Chang'an? How audacious! No, I will send someone to Jingzhao Mansion to report him. I’ll capture this guy alive!”
"Your Highness, no!"
Changsun Xu was almost crying. He hurriedly stopped Li Yun and begged: "I have a very close friendship with His Highness, so I didn't hide anything. If His Highness goes to report this time, how can I meet my eldest brother in the future? Let alone Once my father returns to Beijing and finds out about this, he will probably be beaten to death!”
"Hmph, look at your coward look. Come on, I will just pretend that this is not the case, okay?"
Li Yun snorted dissatisfied.
He has a good relationship with Changsun Xun, and his mother, Wang, was born in the Wang family of Taiyuan and came from the same branch as Princess Jin, so her stance naturally favors the Changsun family.
It's just that he has always respected Princess Changle, so he hates Changsun Chong very much. If it weren't for the fact that Changsun Xu would be punished by Changsun Wuji if he reported it, he would even want to personally lead people to the Changsun family and capture the rebellious Changsun Chong alive...
But even if he doesn't report it, his expression is still ugly: "That bullshit brother of yours is not a good guy. You have to stay away from him, otherwise someone might bump into you one day and you will be implicated."
< br>
Chang Sunxun smiled bitterly and said: "Why do we need another day? Now I am troubled by my eldest brother."
Then he told Chang Sun Chong that he had asked him to spy on Princess Changle. At the end, he said: "Your Highness has always been resourceful. Please give me some advice on how to deal with this matter."
The two of them have been close friends since they were young, and the eldest grandson has always admired Li Yun's strategies. After all, every time he gets into trouble, it is his eldest grandson who is punished in the end. Li Yun is lawless and gets into trouble all day long. No...
When Li Yun heard this, his eyes immediately widened and he said angrily: "It's so crazy! Isn't it enough to hurt Sister Changle? Until now, Sister Changle has not been able to find a good match. The Qingdeng Taoist Scriptures are miserable all day long. You are so lonely! You still have evil intentions? I will take someone to kill him!"
"Your Highness, please calm down! Your Majesty, please calm down!"
Changsun Xu quickly held the furious Changsun Xu tightly and tried to persuade him: "The eldest brother just asked me to go down to check on His Highness Changle, and he didn't say that he really had any evil intentions. What if the eldest brother still has unresolved feelings for His Highness Changle?" Okay, aren't you wronging a good person like this? What's more, if something happens to my eldest brother, my father will definitely know that I have leaked my eldest brother's return to Chang'an, so he won't be able to kill me then?"
After some hard talk, Li Yun was comforted.
Li Yun sat back in his chair, still feeling indignant: "That brother of yours is so ungrateful. How did your father and mother treat him back then? He was closer than our princes, but in the end he repaid kindness and committed a serious crime of treason, but also harmed him." Sister De Changle is so miserable and lonely, it’s really hateful!”
Chang Sunxu apologized repeatedly and said with a grimace: "I came here today to beg His Highness for your advice. What should I do about this matter?"
Li Yun snorted and said: "If you have any concerns or ideas, you might as well talk about it first."
The two got together and plotted.
Li Yun knew the details, especially when he heard that Changsun Chong was most likely jealous because he heard some rumors about Princess Changle Yu Fangjun. Then he thought about the idea of taking advantage of Princess Changle. He couldn't help but roll his eyes. Got an idea.
Princess Changle's affair with Fang Jun is just a rumor to the outside world, and no one knows whether it is true or not. But for people in the royal family, who doesn't feel like Ming Jing'er?
My father punished Fang Jun many times for this, but he couldn’t be wronged...
And no matter what kind of thoughts Changsun Chong had about Princess Changle, they were definitely not what Fang Jun was happy to see. If he could harm Changsun Chong once, wouldn't Fang Jun have to remember this great favor?
After all, although he was close to the Guanlong clan because of his mother's family, who told him to fall in love with Fang Jun's girl?
As long as the design is clever enough, even Chang Sun Chong may not be able to detect that Chang Sun Xun leaked his whereabouts in advance.
And I took care of Princess Changle when Fang Jun left the capital, and foiled Changsun Chong's conspiracy to "destroy the flower" or "get back together". When the time comes, I can claim credit from Fang Jun and propose marriage to Fang Jun here. , he can't just refuse as usual, right?
Li Yun's mind turned around and he glanced at Changsun Xun beside him who was eagerly waiting for him to come up with an idea. He felt sorry for his brother. For the sake of my life-long event, I have no choice but to wrong you this time. However, I am a very particular person. I won’t let Changsun Chong realize that you leaked his whereabouts...
However, if you want to do this skillfully, you need to consider it carefully and not be reckless.
"Don't worry, Hachiro. Your business is my business, how can you shirk it? It's just that this matter is a bit difficult. If you want to stay out of it, you have to be prepared. We are not in a hurry. We haven't eaten yet, right? Come on, come on. Today, yellow croaker arrived in the capital by express ship from the East China Sea. It is plump and tender, and is known as 'trivial golden scale nephrite cream'. You are in for a treat, haha!"
Changsun Xu couldn't shirk it, so he had to follow Li Yun to the back hall. (End of chapter)
