Chapter 4907 Shield
Princess Baling walked into the hall and saw Chai Lingwu's gloomy face and deep eyes. She ignored him and sat on the chair on the other side. She took a sip of the fragrant tea offered by the maid and asked, "What did the steward say just now?" Sister Chengyang came over to give a New Year gift?”
Chai Lingwu Hengmei looked at his wife with an expressionless expression: "Well, when His Highness Chengyang saw that you were not here, he said goodbye and went back... Speaking of which, didn't you make an appointment with His Highness Chengyang to go to Lishan Mountain to take a warm bath?"
Princess Baling put down her tea cup, lowered her eyebrows, and said calmly: "Oh, sister Chengyang has to go from house to house to deliver New Year's gifts, and she doesn't have time to accompany me."
Chai Lingwu clenched his palms at his side into fists, feeling ashamed and angry in his heart: "Who is going to accompany His Highness?"
You don't behave like a woman, but you don't seem to have any regrets?
Princess Baling looked at him in surprise: "It's just a warm bath, why can't I go by myself?"
"Oh, are you so shy now?"
Chai Lingwu sneered.
Princess Baling looked cold: "I have a clear conscience, why should I avoid others?"
"Bang!"
Chai Lingwu couldn't bear it anymore and slapped the table: "I am also a man with a hidden height of seven feet and the head of the family. How can I suffer such humiliation?"
"Bang!"
He slapped the table, and Princess Baling slapped the table louder than him. With her beautiful eyebrows and pretty face, she said: "Because you two brothers are so rebellious and the whole family is on the verge of destruction, what are you doing, a man with a seven-foot-high arrogance? If not With me, you brothers will not only lose their titles, but also your heads! Now that you are talking so loudly to me, how cowardly were you when you asked me to intercede for you?”
"I..."
Chai Lingwu felt weak, lacked energy and looked embarrassed.
Princess Baling lost her temper and immediately calmed down. She was not a domineering character to begin with. She pursed her lips and said, "I would like to advise you to stay away from those people. The Chai family has been involved in the throne. You have almost suffered a disaster. You must learn a lesson and never listen to others and get involved. I can save your brother once, but not the second time.”
Chai Lingwu's expression suddenly changed: "What do you mean, Your Highness?"
Princess Baling snorted and said: "If you don't want others to know, unless you don't do anything about it, do you really think that you are unknowingly connected with the clan? Say something you don't like to hear. It's too difficult to rebel. You Chai brothers are really struggling with their abilities, so you should live a peaceful life, otherwise you will not only lose the title of Duke Qiao, but also your life. "
She really didn't know what the Chai brothers were thinking. Do they really think it was so easy to rebel?
You must have read a few history books. Which of the rebels in the past and present has not been amazingly talented and capable?
Even the family business is not managed well, do you have the ability to rebel?
Chai Lingwu's face was ashen and he said nothing.
He felt that this matter was handled in an extremely secretive manner, so why was Princess Baling aware of it?
If even Princess Baling could detect it, would "Hundred Qisi" already know about it?
I felt like I was sitting on pins and needles all of a sudden.
Seeing his expression, Princess Baling warned: "Be sure not to have too much contact with them to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings by others. Otherwise, even if you are not involved, once those people fail, you will be implicated." Inside. My brother can still avoid death and be exiled to the Hanhai Protectorate to guard the border. If you do this again, I won’t be able to save your life, so you can do it yourself.”
With an indifferent expression on his face, he stood up and walked away into the back hall.
Chai Lingwu sat on the chair, his expression suddenly changed and he was filled with anger, but after gritting his teeth for a while, he suddenly became discouraged.
The whole family's lives depend on the princess, so what right do I have to be jealous and angry?
Besides, it was he and his brother who begged in front of the princess, and the princess reluctantly agreed, which is equivalent to him entrusting the princess to others with both hands...
No matter how humiliating it is, there is still the word "bearing the humiliation and bearing the burden". Just endure it.
The most important thing now is how did Princess Baling learn about his secret operation?
Thinking of this, he couldn't sit still, so he didn't change his clothes. He asked the maid to get a cloak and went out in the carriage.
……
Xiangyi County Prince's Mansion.
Li Shenfu was a little surprised by Chai Lingwu's sudden visit. He was even more surprised to hear that Princess Baling knew that Chai Lingwu was secretly attached to him and conspiring with him.
"But your daily speech or behavior is different, so it's leaked?"
"It's absolutely impossible. It's such a big deal, how dare you make a mistake? Recently, I even sleep in separate rooms for fear of talking in my sleep at night."
Li Shenfu thought for a while and reassured: "It's not that serious. After all, husband and wife are one. Since Princess Baling can give a warning, it means that she will not go to His Majesty to report and expose. Moreover, even if she 'kills her relatives for justice', she will not What evidence is there? Your Majesty cannot convict a duke based on one-sided words without real evidence.”
Chai Lingwu was still worried: "But if the 'Baiqisi' learns about this and is secretly monitoring it, wouldn't it be exposed?"
In fact, what he wanted to say was, 'A woman who has changed her heart may not still have some trust,' but this kind of thing is really hard to say and too embarrassing...
Li Shenfu disagreed: "You haven't done anything now, why are you afraid of the surveillance of Baiqisi? In my opinion, it is actually a good thing for Baiqisi to keep an eye on you now, which is enough to prove your innocence. Qi Si's confirmation of your innocence will naturally relax the surveillance on you, which will help you to prepare for big things in the future."
When Chai Lingwu heard this, he thought it made sense: "Then I won't be able to visit you all the time in the near future."
Li Shenfu said helplessly: "So why did you come today? Princess Baling just expressed her doubts about you, and you came to me on the heels of it... Are you afraid that the evidence is not sufficient?"
So why are all his subordinates so reckless and stupid?
If we really expect these people to work together to achieve great things and achieve great things, I'm afraid they will be tricked to the point where no bones and dregs will be left...
Fortunately, these people are just the fog he created, and the real killing move has long been hidden under the fog.
Chai Lingwu was a little embarrassed and felt that he was a little stupid. He explained: "I am really uneasy about important matters of life and death. I am afraid that if I mess up the important matter and implicate the prince, I will die forever."
Li Shenfu nodded, you brothers of the Chai family are quite self-aware and know that you have failed more than you have accomplished. Back then, you couldn't even attack a Xuanwu Gate with a large army, but you were defeated by Gao Kan with half of his troops. , discarded their armor, and even the coach was captured alive...
How ambitious should I be to expect you to succeed?
So he complained about Chai Lingwu's visit, but in fact he was very happy. Only in this way could he attract more people's attention, and his arrangement under the fog would be more secure...
He warned: "Every time you encounter a big event, you must be calm. You must not lose your position. You must be steady."
Chai Lingwu nodded heavily: "Prince, don't worry, as long as you are well prepared, I will immediately summon the old troops to respond!"
Li Shenfu smiled and said: "You brothers are all talented. The reason why you are sinking now is just because you have not met the Ming Master and bad luck. When you achieve great things, you will naturally become powerful and famous all over the world. Your brother will also be pardoned and return to Chang'an. At that time, Never let the Fang family's "one family and two kingdoms" be more beautiful than before, and Princess Pingyang Zhao's spirit can also be relieved in heaven. ”
He knows how to draw cakes very well. He knows Chai Lingwu's weaknesses and what he cares about most.
Chai Lingwu, Du He, and Fang Jun had been playing together since childhood because of their family backgrounds. They acted like hawks and lackeys to each other and caused trouble. They were the favored playboys among the second generation of nobles in Chang'an and had a very bad reputation.
However, I don’t know when, Fang Jun, who was at the bottom among the three, suddenly enlightened, and then he rose to prominence. Not only could he read and make money, he was even famous for his poems. In charge of the government office, he made the people prosperous and benefited the country. Leading an army can lead to a decisive victory thousands of miles away and show force in foreign lands. Who can not envy this kind of merit that when you mount your horse, you can stabilize a country and when you dismount, you can govern an area?
That's all for outsiders. In the prosperous Tang Dynasty, when there were many talented people, there was another outstanding figure with amazing talents, but for the friends who have been growing up, it was a bit unacceptable.
We agreed to be a good couple together, but you secretly made up classes and got first place in the exam?
There are all kinds of envy, jealousy and hatred.
I wish I could knock him down and return to his original form, but I also wish I could replace him with my own body...
And what is Fang Jun’s greatest reputation so far?
Naturally, it is the achievement of "one family and two kingdoms". This is the most beautiful story in the world. He did not inherit his father's influence or rely on his family background, but only relied on his own talents step by step to build a kingdom. Who is not envious and who is not jealous?
The once popular saying "having a son should be like the last love of one's family" is not just a saying. I don't know how many Zhenguan nobles, court ministers, and clan kings were envious and jealous of Fang Xuanling. Who wouldn't want to have such an amazing talent? Where is the stunning son...
……
After Chai Lingwu left, Li Sixian came out of the back hall and sat on the chair where Chai Lingwu had just been.
He looked at his father, hesitated, and said cautiously: "Actually, this may not be necessary, right? Our plan is careful enough, and there will be no surprises. Chai Lingwu will either join the camp and conspire with big things, or cut him off so that he cannot know about it. The core thing is, why treat it as an abandoned child? ”
According to Li Shenfu's plan, Chai Lingwu was just a pawn providing smoke. He could neither know the core secret nor participate in it. He would only be sacrificed at the beginning of the incident in order to confuse His Majesty enough and cover the real killing. trick.
But in Li Sixian's view, this need not be the case. Chai Lingwu had an irreversible friendship with him, had deep hatred with Fang Jun, and was also dissatisfied with His Majesty. Even if such a person did not pull him into the camp and become a true ally, there was no need to bring him into the camp. It was sacrificed in vain...
"Women's kindness!" Li Shenfu raised his gray eyebrows and shouted loudly.
