The Golden Age Chapter 656: The Ruthless Emperor’s House

Qin Xiao also sat cross-legged facing Sheyue, thinking that this is the right way to get along.

"Actually, I want to say that I used to think that the princess was carefree, but now I know that this is not the case." Qin Xiao sighed lightly: "The saint uses you as a tool for use, and the Jiangnan family also wants to use you as Tool, you...it’s really not easy."

The room is dark. Although it is not possible to see Qin Xiao clearly, Sheyue still looked at Qin Xiao's face and asked softly: "Which other relatives do you have?"

Qin Xiao lowered his head, was silent for a moment, and finally said: "Nothing!"

"No brothers or sisters?"

Qin Xiao smiled bitterly: "When I was very young, my parents were gone. I was adopted by well-wishers in the village, so to be precise, I was an orphan."

When the old man Zhong was dying, he had instructed Qin Xiao not to mention his life experience no matter who he met. He couldn't avoid it, saying that he was an orphan who was adopted by others.

Qin Xiao feels that although this answer is not necessarily true, it is not too problematic.

Since I can remember, I have been living with that weird old man. I really didn't know who my parents were. I can also say that he was adopted and grown up by Zhong Zhong.

She Yue was very surprised, surprised: "You... are you an orphan?"

Qin Xiao said softly, with a sad expression.

"I'm sorry, I don't know." Sheyue knew that this must be the saddest place in Qin Xiao's heart, and she happened to poke the other party's sadness, apologizing in her heart.

Qin Xiao smiled and said: "It's okay, I'm used to it. In fact, I envy the princess, at least you have seen your parents, and...there is also a younger sister."

"Changning...!" She Yue said quietly: "Yes, I still have Changning. As long as she is by my side, everything I give is worthwhile."

Qin Xiao opened his mouth, did not speak, only felt that Sheyue's tone was melancholy.

"Many people think that I cultivated party feathers because I was tired of power." She Yue smiled faintly: "They naturally don't know. To protect Changning, I can only go down this road and can't look back."

Qin Xiao wondered: "Protect Princess Changning?"

"Do you know why I took over the Neiku?" Sheyue asked softly: "I am Princess of the Tang Dynasty. I could not ask about everything, but I can still enjoy the glory and prosperity. And the more I don't ask about the world, the more saints will be. It’s joy. If I were a pet in the palace and harmless to humans and animals, many people would feel relieved."

Qin Xiao faintly understood: "Is it all for Princess Changning?"

"I only have this sister, she is three years younger than me." She Yue mentioned Changning, her voice softened: "Have you seen her, do you think she is like a child although she is not young?"

Qin Xiao has always been puzzled about this, but when it comes to the secrets of the palace, he dare not ask any more, but he never thought that Musk would take the initiative to mention it today.

He can only say: "Princess Changning is innocent and innocent, and has a kind heart. I did see it when I entered the palace."

"Actually she was smart when she was a child,

Much smarter than me. A small smile appeared at the corner of She Yue's lips: "The days when I was with her when I was young were the times when I really felt happy. But when she was five years old, she suddenly fell ill and was in a coma for several days. The saint took care of her day and night. When she woke up again, not only could she not remember the previous things, but she would never grow up again. , Always like a child. "Here, my voice is sad.

Qin Xiaoxin wanted to calculate according to time that when Princess Changning was sick, the first emperor was still alive.

He thought that Princess Changning was born like this, but he didn't want to be caused by a sudden illness. He wondered: "What kind of sudden illness would have such a situation?"

"At that time, the envoy of the Taiyuan Hospital personally diagnosed and treated Changning, saying that Changning may have been frightened, coupled with the cold, which caused this." She Yue slowly said: "The father sent someone to investigate Changning. What was frightened, the saint also personally investigated the cause in the palace, but in the end he still did not find out. Changning had forgotten everything that happened before, and she could not tell it by herself, so until today, this has become an unsolved case in the palace. "

Qin Xiao was astonished. The dignified princess was frightened in the palace. As a result, she lost her memory and even never grew up again. What kind of fright caused this? And can fright make people's brains mature?

He only thought it was really weird, but he couldn't say much.

"I should have been by her side all the time, so maybe she wouldn't become what she is now." Musk said to herself: "So from then on, I vowed to protect her for the rest of my life, no Let her suffer any more harm."

Qin Xiao sighed: "The princess is a good sister." After a pause, he said strangely: "It's just the princess who takes over the Neiku, what does it have to do with protecting Princess Changning?"

"To protect a person, you must first make yourself stronger." Musk said calmly: "Only when you become a tool available to the saint and make her feel that you are valuable, you can do business with her."

"Transaction?"

"She used me to destroy the Zhao clan, why should I search for the wealth of Jiangnan for her?" Musk Yue's voice had a hint of chill: "Initiate construction and build the Musk Moon Palace. Everyone thought it was a Of course, they didn’t know the mother’s love and compensation for her daughter. It was just a bargain. It was a means for her to buy me before she continued to use me. Because she knew very well that Jiangnan was already ready to make a move at the time. Jiangnan will only lose both sides in the end, so only by using me can I be able to stabilize the situation in Jiangnan, and only me can use Neiku as an excuse to search for wealth from Jiangnan for her use."

Qin Xiao's face was solemn, and She Yue continued: "She knows where my weakness lies. She knows that as long as she pinches Changning, she pinches my throat. Whether I want it or not, she can only be used by her. If I If you don’t follow her will, Changning will leave me.” Looking at Qin Xiao in the darkness, she said calmly: “Back then, she threatened me to let me take control of Neiku. If I didn’t agree, she would He married Changning to Xichuan and Yizhou. The governor of Yizhou was Xiahou Yuanshu, the younger brother of Xiahou Yuanzhen. The second son of Xiahou Yuanshu was seventeen years old, but he was notoriously greedy and lustful, and Changning was younger than him. A few years younger, our saint wants to marry his own daughter to that infamous villain."

Qin Xiao's eyes twitched. If it weren't for Sheyue's own words, Qin Xiao could hardly imagine that the saint would be ruthless.

West

After the Mausoleum rebellion, the court did not make any major moves, which made Qin Xiao very dissatisfied with the saint, but after that, the saint took good care of himself and helped him to cause such a major event as the beheading of the guards of the government. The saint also The clouds are lightly dealt with.

He entered the palace twice, and when he saw the saint, the saint seemed to be diligent in governing, and he was even very friendly to himself, but this also made Qin Xiao feel good about the saint for a while.

But these words of She Yue made Qin Xiaoxin feel astonished.

After a while, Qin Xiao smiled bitterly: "So the princess can only do what the saint wants?"

"She needs me to collect money for her, and she needs to ask me to restrain the Xiahou clan for her." Sheyue laughed at herself: "Everyone thinks I am the most powerful princess since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, but they don't know, if not With the permission of the emperor, who can have such power? The Li family and Xiahou family are just tools she plays with in her hands, and all these are to ensure that her throne cannot be shaken."

Qin Xiao's heart is awe-inspiring.

The greed of power makes people ruthless and unfeeling regardless of blood relationship.

Qin Xiao was silent for a moment, and finally said: "Princess, Jiangnan is your foundation, if Jiangnan is lost, then...?"

"I know what you want to say." Musk's voice became somber: "Without Jiangnan, I will have no use value for the saint. Do you think that even if I return to Beijing safely, I won't do it again in the future. Have the original authority?" With a sneer, he said: "Qin Xiao, don't think I don't know what you are thinking. You are worried that my power will disappear and will not be able to help you prepare for the recovery of Xiling. You protect me along the way, of course. Afraid that what I promised you will not be achieved?"

Qin Xiao sneered and said: "I am not surprised if you say this. Since childhood, you have been in contact with indifferent and ruthless people. The saint is your mother, and the state minister is your uncle. It's your subordinates, but these people are all unreliable, and they have never had a true friendship with you, so in your eyes, people in the world are like this. There is no one who values ​​love and righteousness in this world."

She Yue didn't expect Qin Xiao to counterattack so sharply, she gave a cold snort and didn't speak.

"I do hope that you can help me prepare for the plan to recover Xiling." Qin Xiao said slowly: "But if you think that I only protect you for this purpose, it is a big mistake. Even if you are not a princess, It's an ordinary person, and I won't ignore this situation either. Because someone has taught me that a man living in this world does something and does something wrong, and thinks that what is right is right and let go of it wrong. You don’t need to care about gains and losses. If everyone decides whether they should do the right thing based on their gains and losses, isn’t this world too boring?" With a faint smile, he said: "I don’t want to be a boring person."

She Yue lowered her head and was silent for a long time, her voice softened: "It's because I spoke too hard, so you don't need to worry about it."

"I can understand you." Qin Xiao felt compassion for the princess in his heart: "I'm just worried, if Jiangnan is lost, you lose everything you had before, then can you still protect Princess Changning's thoroughness? You and Xiahou's family have been fighting for ten years. Xiahou's family will definitely regard you as a thorn in the flesh. Without Jiangnan, would they threaten your safety?"

Mosk Moon's voice became colder again: "That's why I decided to go to Shuning City!"
