He Shou? surprise? didn't expect that there is such a past, how come never heard the concubine mention it, is it because the heart is too traumatized? Cough, as for why the injury...injured...

I hesitated whether to tell the truth to the Crown Prince. If he confessed, it would be impossible for him to send someone to deal with Nie Ran in a fit of rage.

Stop, stop, after all, I will not give up.

"The reason why I didn't come back was because I didn't remember to come back at all." I paused, "I don't remember why I disappeared. Those days were nothing more than living in a small village, and then escaped after being chased and killed. , and then let the concubine find it unintentionally..."

The Crown Prince looked at me dumbfounded: "What the Queen means is..."

"Actually, I lost my memory."

By the time I calmly finished telling the abbreviated version of the story that omitted Xu Fang, the prince was already showing signs of lung pain.

So he was dragged away like he was frying beans, and he couldn't go.

In the end, he used sleepiness as an excuse to let go.

But before I left, I asked a few more questions about the plan to send Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and the Crown Prince suddenly said: "If you don't mention it, I almost forgot, I am anxious to find you just for this, Huangjie, looking at the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, except for Lingnan The faction is the Jianghuai faction, no matter who you send, it will be the result, you know."

I said: "There is always a clear stream that is loyal to the father and emperor." <

The prince shook his head: "Qingliu people, you are very pragmatic, the current situation is unstable, you should be wise and protect yourself, how can you dare to stand up to Zhao Gengnian or Li Guojiu as an enemy? People are small and light, and they are broad and shrewd, and they have no courage to deal with crises at all."

A big kidnapper came around, and I became even more dizzy: "Who is the prince looking for?"

The prince smiled and said, "It's... Han Fei from the imperial elder sister's residence."

I thought that the prince's smile was a bit like that, but I was too lazy to defend it. Maybe the truth was what he misunderstood. I asked, "What ability does he have to fight against the two factions?"

The prince adjusted his color: "He can risk the world to expose his teacher's crimes, and what he pursues is just a word of 'law'. Only such a person can act according to his own conscience no matter what external force he is standing in front of. It is the most powerful weapon against those parties."

Unexpectedly, he was such a person. "Isn't this kind of person the easiest to get rid of by jian gangsters?"

The crown prince laughed, "But he's from the royal sister, who would dare to move around?"

Feeling a little guilty, I touched the tip of my nose and said, "You said that the crime of exposing my teacher...is it Fang Liang's case?" Today Fang read the old file and vaguely remembered that the witness in that case was Han Fei.

The crown prince said, "Yes, Huangjie, you still remember that the presiding judge of this case is the concubine."

"Since the prince thinks Han Fei is competent, I don't mind. If I go back to the mansion, he will probably not refuse." The guy looked like he would get moldy if he stayed with this princess for a while, how could he refuse, maybe after listening to it. Start to pack up.

Hearing this, the crown prince immediately clouded the sky: "Then it's up to you to take care of the imperial sister."

On the way back to the palace, I filtered through what I saw and heard in the palace today, and felt that there were quite a few things that I needed to recall. When passing by the Dali Temple, I calculated the time and asked people to stop the carriage and horses, thinking about going in to visit the Dali Temple, which is in charge of the serious criminal case. Of course, the main thing is that the curious and tender prince-in-law will break the case and it will be a good thing. .

As soon as the priest here saw me, he took me around very familiarly. He served tea in the study room of the guest office, and said, "Master Song is still in the front court, please wait for the princess." , I reckon that I should have been wandering around the Dali Temple often in the past to create such a weak sense of existence. Of course, it is still so comfortable compared to the polite politeness.

This is Song Langsheng's study. I shook my head beside the bookshelf. Except for the file, it was the law book. It was really boring. out something.

I was about to slip out when my sleeve accidentally rubbed

Something in the corner of the bookcase.

It's an old fan.

I picked it up and played with it, the fan bone had a faint scent of agarwood, and the silk fan surface did not look like a common thing. I opened the fan, and I saw only four characters inscribed on one side of the folding fan: "It's better to forget each other." Turning over to the other side, the scene of bees picking flowers under the bright sun is drawn, which is very simple.

What makes me feel strange is the fèng gap in the middle of the fan, a long line, like a trace of someone who broke it and then fèng mended it.

Really familiar fan.

I closed the folding fan and put it in my sleeve, walked straight through the corridor to the side door of Shengtang, and watched Song Langsheng, who was on trial in the hall, through the screen. He was dressed in a crimson red official robe, with wide white cuffs and blue trims, which made his face as beautiful as jade.

I don't know if it was because of the solemnity of the court, but his demeanor seemed very solemn, and his sharp eyes were a little too daring to look at. Without giving the prisoners too much time to breathe, the few words actually made people speechless. When they reacted, all the defenses were pale like sophistry, and when the criminals were unable to fight for themselves, this case. The case is a foregone conclusion.

This is the Shaoqing of Dali Temple in Daqing. It is necessary to "push the qíng decree" and "punishment must be punished as a crime", so that "no injustice in prison".

I looked at the concubine in the hall, who was completely different from the usual one, and there were thousands of tastes in my heart, which were both familiar and intimidating.

Song Langsheng took out a decree without any fuss, and his voice was serious: "According to the law, one hundred sticks, four years of criminal detention, and one full day of criminal detention."

The sound of the sign slamming to the ground was like a lock, opening a certain box deep in my memory without warning.

The same person, in the same posture, executed Fang Liang, who was still the chief Sima of the court at the time.

That day, after I left the hall, I, who had been waiting in the study room, saw Song Langsheng come in, and said angrily, "Master Song, this princess has already acted on Fang Liang's behalf, so how can you sentence him so rashly? guilty?"

Song Langsheng said: "Fang Liang's acceptance of bribes is a fact, and the lower officials are only sentenced according to the law, and there is no suspicion of rudeness."

I said: "It's true that he is corrupt, not for his own interests? You can go to see his mansion, it's not as good as a magistrate! All he wants is to be in that position for a longer time and be more stable, what he does It is also a real benefit to the country and the people!"

Song Langsheng said coldly: "This greedy person is tens of thousands of people, and the sin of Qianqiu will never be forgiven."

I slapped the table with my palm: "One Fang Liang is implicated in the entire princelings. How many people will one Fang Liang fall? Do you know how deep the court is?"

Song Langsheng stared at me, calmly.

Shiliu said: "The so-called rulers calculate the benefits and interests, and consider the short and long, while the law-holders do not waste their righteousness and do not leak evil. The princess has the position of the princess, and the lower official has the position of the lower official. The princess is not from all the way, why does the princess bother to speak?"

Maybe his tone was not good, or maybe I was really mad. When I caught a glimpse of the folding fan on the table, I subconsciously picked it up and ripped it apart. Song Langsheng saw it and quickly stepped forward and grabbed it from my hand. However, the force was too heavy and I was thrown away and fell heavily to the ground.

When he saw me being knocked down, he realized that a catastrophe had been caused, and he stretched out his hand to help me up.

And I threw his hand away and said, "Do you feel bad that the fan your sweetheart gave you is broken? Master Song, don't be in a hurry, in the future, this princess will do more things that make you sad, you Take it first!"

In a moment of trance, fragments of the past flashed by.

I stood there for a long time, smiling bitterly.

It was the first time to recover the sporadic memories belonging to the princess, and it was actually such a scene.

chapter eight

I don't know that I left without waiting for Song Langsheng. Actually, I might as well joke with him and say that I remembered the episodes of bullying him in the past. He was so vicious that he had the majesty of a princess. uncovered.

Just as he talked to me about my wishful thinking lightly, as if he was really joking.

Is it true that after a long time of peace, you will despise such an invincible princess as Xiangyi, who can call the wind and call the rain, and can easily play with other people's lives to fulfill her temporary responsibility.

The more thought about it, the more uncomfortable felt.

With a feverish mind, I asked the coachman to speed up the whip, and as soon as I stepped into the house, I sent the palace chief and asked him to take me to see Han Fei.

Uncle Liu is my mother's family. I don't know if Uncle Seven or Uncle Biao. It is said that Uncle Li gave him a job in Yangzhou that could make money. He sent the treasures to him, but let him read the four books and five classics of Confucius and Mencius into his bones, but many people did not say anything, and even his own salary was contributed to the common people, and it didn't take long for him to be an official. Later, the emperor became the princess, that is, I built the princess mansion, and I happened to lack a mansion, and my mother thought of him.

In summary, what I want to express is that Uncle Liu is a kind and kind man, and it is more reliable to do many practical tasks on his behalf.

And an honest person like him couldn't help but tremble when he heard that I was going to see Han Fei, and said straight: "In addition to occasionally practicing swordsmanship in the courtyard, Young Master Han has mostly been reading and painting in his room. ."

I nodded impatiently: "Very good, lead the way."

Uncle Liu said again: "His Royal Highness, the concubine is about to return to the palace."

My face finally started to cramp: "What does this have to do with me going to see Han Fei?"

Uncle Liu sighed with a wrinkled old gray face, and finally said nothing more, and led me down the path from the veranda, around the courtyard to the waterside pavilion of the mansion.

The waterside pavilion in the mansion is in the center of the lake, with a wooden corridor leading directly to the shore, with rough trees planted and shaded by green trees.

When I arrived at the porch by the lake, my eyes were full of lush greenery, beautiful and clear, and I couldn't help but ask, "Where is Young Master Han?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw him.

In the small pavilion at the mid-waist of the wooden corridor, someone sat cross-legged and played a piece of music.

I let Uncle Liu go back first and step into the middle of the water pavilion alone.

Hearing the footsteps, the sound of the piano stopped, and the person playing the piano turned his head, saw that it was me, stunned, stood up, and bowed slightly.

fine

, I have been worried that he will take advantage of no one to directly draw his sword and stab.

He was as silent as I imagined, and I opened my mouth first: "What song did you play just now? It sounds like a high Qiu Ziqiong, a drunken poet and a mad guest."

Han Fei said: "It's just a folk song, I don't see how high the artistic conception is."

When I saw his indifference, I smiled: "It's hard to calm down."

Han Fei looked at me with some surprise, and I said, "Is it your name?"

Han Fei said, "I never thought the princess would hear it."

I picked a cool place where the sun couldn't get out and sat down, and said, "I heard this song before, but I thought I would never hear it again."

Han Fei still didn't say a word, with a look like "Whoever gave you what song is none of my business", he originally planned to talk to him a few words to calm down the atmosphere, but he didn't want to be completely cold. Sure enough, I'm not a good communication person. , or go directly to the main topic: "I heard that Mr. Han usually plays the piano in the mansion in addition to reciting poetry and painting, but he is so bored, I wonder if he would like to do something for the princess?"

In fact, I guessed that with his attitude, I would reject it, but after listening to me, his face suddenly changed, Yinqing grimaced, and after a while, he said: "If the concubine doesn't mind, what qualifications do I have to be unwilling? "
