Spirit of the Phoenix: 129. Understand
Countless thoughts hit the softest part of the defense center by surprise.
Why did "Saint Ancestors" appear in Pei Ansu's hands? Where did Taian go after Chunxiao said goodbye to him? Does the Pei family know Tai'an's secret?
Like a hazy giant net descending from the sky, it covered the prince's eyes, making him unable to breathe.
This is the most critical moment.
The prince's figure was like a sculpture, motionless, but his dark pupils trembled almost imperceptibly, and his pale lips revealed the deepest fear in his heart.
Pei Ansu made up for the last blow at the right time, raised his eyes without fear, and asked him with a smile: "Your Highness, you can think clearly, Jiangshan or Qingyi, which one do you want to choose?"
The contempt in her eyes was barely concealed, with an incomparable arrogance.
The prince suddenly recalled that in the countless scenes he had met her in the past, her white neck was drooping;
In the past, she was only regarded as a dignified and dignified lady in the capital because of the restrictions of etiquette; now that she thinks about it, is it because she is afraid that her eyes will wander and reveal her deepest feelings?
The crown prince slowly closed his eyes, and said softly: "During the first Northern Expedition, Doctor Guanglu Shen Zhiyun advised Qin Miao not to marry his own daughter into the East Palace, and when he was drunk, he babbled that the crown prince was already half buried in the ground. The Shen family belonged to the Qingliu party, and they had a good relationship with the Pei family, but they knew about this situation at that time?"
At that time, he was on an expedition, fearing that spies would be mixed into his army, so he only paid special attention to food, clothing, shelter, and transportation, and his diet was light.
Tai'an stayed by his side, and changed his method to wash his hands and make soup for him. Life in the army is bitter, he has a beautiful woman to accompany him, but he lives happily.
Pei Ansu smiled but said nothing, turned sideways and opened the booklet page by page. There was a rustling sound as the pages of the book were flipped, but it sounded like a drum beating to death, falling into the prince's chest.
"When I first entered the palace, the Tai Tuo treated me like a father, taught me carefully and cared for me, even married you to me, and fully supported me." The prince said softly.
For so many years, no matter how many **** evidences were presented in front of him, he still couldn't believe that the Taifu had murderous intentions for him, probably because of the friendship that could not be faked in Lingyan Pavilion back then.
"Taifu's attitude changed drastically, as if overnight. The day before, he was still joking with me about being appointed to the Ministry of Rites after the big wedding. On the second day, at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, he decisively tricked me out and ruined my reputation. "
The matter of Mid-autumn night had already been found out for him by the empress.
Nurse/Niang Yang was instigated by the Taifu, and the **** arranged for the Taifu during the banquet to bring the prince into Lingyan Pavilion. If it wasn't for the queen's vigilance to signal in advance, I am afraid that the scene of the prince messing up the harem will be witnessed by everyone that night.
The crown prince was in trouble, and he closed the doors of Qingliang Hall to think about his mistakes. But Taifu Pei in the court hall seemed to have been beaten to death, he didn't even have a chance to explain to the prince, and only asked to withdraw from the marriage.
If the queen hadn't been clever enough to use her strength to secretly kill the prince, even if the prince really cut his heart to save his father, there would be no chance to turn around.
The prince smiled wryly and sighed: "The Taifu's attitude changed a lot overnight, because he knew...I'm already useless? Is it because in his eyes, no matter how hard I teach, I will definitely die?"
Because the Taifu knew the fact that the prince would die, and determined that he was an abandoned son, he was eager to find the stain on the prince and withdraw from him.
"Before the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, Mrs. Pei knew that I was bound to die and would not be able to ascend the throne. After he met me, the only person in the palace he had ever met was—the Emperor Father." The prince said lightly.
Look, the truth is so simple.
The one who wants to kill him is the emperor.
As for the Pei family, when they found out about this, they regarded him as an abandoned son who was holding back.
The Tai Tuo who has always loved him wanted to break off the engagement with him, and he did not hesitate to set up a trap to frame his reputation, but also wanted to break off the tie with the Prince.
The prince's heart was full of sadness, but after the sadness, there was an uncontrollable anger.
The faint sarcasm on Pei Ansu's face became the last straw that crushed him.
The prince turned around suddenly, pulled out the saber from his waist, and put it on Pei Ansu's face. The blade was frosted, and with just a little force, a thin line of blood was pressed on her chin.
"Father played me in the palm of his hand, and he came and went as soon as he was called. When the Great Sima was here, I stabbed a sharp knife at the Chen family. When the Turks rebelled, I was the one who drove the captives in the Northern Expedition Cannon fodder. In the final analysis, it’s just because I know I’m sure to die, no matter how great my achievements are, I don’t need to worry too much.”
"Your Pei family, isn't it even more so?" The prince sneered, staring closely at Pei Ansu's eyes, "After the Qin family was brought down, Pei Junzhi did not hesitate to openly oppose me. As a princess, you have never treated me like that." There is half a sense of friendship. I have a hundred thousand Yan troops in my hand, but you killed my crown prince Liangdi in the capital, and the soldiers did not show any fear when they came to the city. Didn’t you bite the bullet, I won’t live long?”
At this point, what else do you not understand?
I used to think that there was only one heart around him.
It is only now that he realizes that the sincerity he thought was actually the biggest killer.
He and his little paper figurine girl, who can shatter at the touch of a touch, live together day and night.
But it never occurred to him that the seemingly weakest, innocent and sincere lover beside him was actually the deepest sharp blade of his old enemy lying in ambush by his side, ready to hit him with a single blow.
"This book...was specially given to me by my father." The prince's eyes were sour, and he finally gritted his teeth to hold back, "Before the Mid-Autumn Festival, the Taifu knew about this, didn't he?"
The truth is about to come out, but the question he fears the most has never been uttered.
Tai'an, how did he come to him?
Tai'an, why did he leave him and returned to Pei Ansu's hands...
In the life of the prince, since he entered the palace, his heart has been built like a high wall; no one doubts that it is even worse than the emperor's.
But he met Tai'an who was like a blank sheet of paper, twittering like a naive and ignorant sparrow, without even the slightest thought, which made him fall irretrievably in the ups and downs of the world, as if holding on to the last chance of life.
But, how did she appear in his life? Both the emperor and the Pei family are sure that her appearance will kill him...
Could it be Tai'an who will kill him? Could it be that Tai'an was manipulated by the Pei family or the emperor from beginning to end, lurking beside him? Otherwise, how did she, a paper ghost who could do whatever she wanted, fall into the hands of the Pei family?
Thoughts were turning a thousand times, and the deepest darkness in my heart overflowed a little bit. All her hesitation about her feelings turned into sharp knives, stabbing the Prince's arm trembling even while holding the sword.
The look of contempt on Pei Ansu's face was even more obvious, the corners of his lips curled up, and he said slowly: "Your Highness is so smart, I'm not worth it for the little princess."
"Since you guessed that she came here to kill you, have you ever wondered why you survived to this day?" Pei Ansu raised her eyebrows lightly, with only a trace of compassion overflowing from the corners of her eyes, making the prince feel as though struck by lightning.
The Pei family urged the emperor to destroy the whole family of the Qin family and openly opposed the prince. Such a radical and short-sighted move clearly happened after Yunzhou's victory and rescue.
It also happened after Taian left without saying goodbye...
The prince's eyes suddenly opened wide, his chest was pressed down like a big stone, and he suddenly felt a sharp pain, and he yelled in pain: "Tai'an!"
He got it.
He has lived until now because she is gone.
