Love Affairs in Chang'an - Chapter 346

Chapter 346 Lure a Snake Out of a Hole

There was one thing that Qin Mubai knew very well. The one who was under the greatest pressure and suffering was not him, not the Qin Family, but Princess Gaoyang, the daughter-in-law who was about to pass away today.

If it was an ordinary person, regardless of the reason, the man who was about to get married would have a one-night affair with another woman on the night before the wedding. If he didn’t go berserk, he would have to go crazy. At the very least, this marriage was temporarily forbidden.

But at this moment, the one who stood beside Qin Mubai the most firmly was Princess Gao Yang. She was even more determined than Qin Mubai’s brother.

Looking at the messy room and the four ice-cold corpses, Princess Gaoyang’s slightly tender face did not reveal the slightest bit of panic or hesitation. She walked over to Qin Mubai and sat down. She looked at him without blinking and said, “Mubai, you don’t need to explain. I know everything.”

“You know?” Qin Mubai was confused. “I don’t even know. How did you know?”

Hearing this, Qin Tong was shocked. “Third Brother, what did you do? You don’t know what happened?” He said anxiously.

“What did big brother say? It’s like Mubai committed some kind of heavenly murder! How could you do this, brother? If something happens to you, don’t think of a way for your brother. You’ll think that he deserves to die first.” Princess Gaoyang bluntly scolded Qin Tong a few times and snorted coldly, “Fortunately, you are still the elder brother who grew up with him. You don’t know him at all. Is Mubai such a frivolous and undisciplined person?”

“Ling’er, don’t say anything.” Qin Mubai stopped him and stood up to Qin Daodong. “Big brother, I really don’t remember anything. I was drugged, tricked, and trapped.”

Qin Tong was refuted by Princess Gaoyang for a while and was speechless with embarrassment. Hearing Qin Mubai’s words, he couldn’t help but be shocked, “Who would be so bold to do such a thing?!”

“Big brother, this is obviously not a small matter. Given Mubai’s current status, the one who dares to attack him is definitely not Xiao Xiaozhi. Furthermore, the place where he attacked is the Imperial Palace. The ones involved in the conspiracy are the waitresses left behind by the High Ancestor Emperor. The four corpses that fell on the scene are definitely not ordinary people. So obvious, don’t you see?” Princess Gaoyang said.

Qin Tong’s thick eyebrows furrowed as he said in a deep voice, “Is this a huge political conspiracy?”

“I don’t understand politics.” Princess Gaoyang said, “I only know that my man is in trouble. I will risk my life to save him from the disaster. Big brother, Mubai’s life and death is related to the survival of the Qin Family and the safety of the country. This is no longer as simple as a brown-robed murder. In public and private, you must firmly support Mubai.”

“Alright!” After all, Qin Tong was a straightforward and fierce man. He gritted his teeth and said, “Now, foolish brother’s life is at stake! Princess, give me your orders. What do you want me to do?”

“You and Second Brother, you must do your best to ensure the safety of the Qin Clan’s elders and younger generations, so that Mubai will not have any worries in the future.” Princess Gao Yang said, “In addition, be on guard against someone taking advantage of the chaos to murder Mu Bai’s life. You should pay close attention to his meals and daily life in case anything unexpected happens.”

“I understand.” Qin Tong nodded.

Qin Mubai stood at the side and watched the two of them converse without saying a word. After they finished speaking, Qin Mubai smiled and said, “Ling’er, from what you said, it seems like I’m going to be imprisoned?”

“This is inevitable.” Princess Gaoyang knitted her brows and said to Qin Mubai, “I have to wronge you first, Mubai.” Just now, I heard that Father Emperor suddenly fainted. This kind of matter needed to be handled by Father Emperor personally. Now that he had fainted, the case had to be put on hold. No one but Father Emperor dared to make such a big decision. I heard that Father Emperor discussed this matter with Eldest Sun Wuji, Chu Suiliang, and Fang Xuanling. If it’s not unexpected, it should be one of these three people who will assist Father Emperor in this case. ”

“Still trying?” Qin Mubai couldn’t help but laugh. “You’re wrong, Ling’er, this kind of case will definitely not be tried in public. Either I, Qin Mubai, will be given a glass of poisonous wine and then quietly sink into the Taiye Lake. Or I will be released as if nothing has happened. Continue to be my son-in-law and continue to hold our wedding ceremony.”

“What?” Qin Tong and Princess Gaoyang were both shocked.

Qin Mubai glanced at the two of them and said, “Actually, I heard the news long ago and knew that someone was trying to harm me.” However, day and night defenses were still unable to defend themselves. After so many days, I have been cautious and vigilant. Nothing has happened. I didn’t expect that when His Majesty suddenly summoned me to the palace the night before the wedding, he would fall for their path. Now that I recall it, I roughly understand that the Imperial Wine I drank that day must have been drugged. However, nothing happened in the wine the Emperor and King Jin drank. Therefore, the medicine must have been put in my cup. Then I got into the carriage and fell asleep unconscious, and woke up in this bed. ”

“Looks like the person who wants to harm you is truly knowledgeable. Even the eunuchs close to the Penglai Palace Emperor have been bribed and used.” ‘”Princess, can you find a way to find this person? If you can catch this accomplice, you can return Mubai’s innocence.” Qin Tong asked in shock.

“It’s too late, big brother.” Qin Mubai smiled slightly and said, “Looking at the corpses of the four eunuchs in the room, you should be able to imagine that the person who was able to drug me would definitely be silenced.”

“Not good!” Qin Tong cried out loudly.

“What’s the matter?”

“Those two concubines!” Qin Tong anxiously punched, “They are accomplices, and they must know! Aren’t they also in danger of being silenced?”

Qin Mubai blinked her eyes. “Big brother, you’ll know when you go take a look, right?”

Qin Tong nodded, opened the door and ran out. He shouted loudly outside and called for a group of people to go to the courtyard where Second Concubine was imprisoned.

Sure enough, Second Concubine’s corpse was hanging on the beam, and her body was still warm. Apparently, she had just died.

Qin Tong looked at the corpses of the two women and a chill ran down his spine. He murmured, “It’s over, it’s over, it’s really over … so vicious!”

In the room, Qin Mubai, who was supposed to be restless and full of anxiety, was calm instead. He got up and slowly closed the door. He walked to Princess Gaoyang and sat down. He poured her a cup of tea with a smile and said, “Ling’er, look at you so haggard. Didn’t you sleep all night last night?”

Princess Gaoyang nodded as if she was trying her best to endure something. Her hands trembled slightly as she took the teacup and took a light sip.

The messy room was surrounded by corpses, so this tea would never be romantic. But at this moment, Princess Gaoyang could clearly feel a hanging heart slowly descending.

Only by staying with Qin Mubai would she be so stable. Even if she knew that the two of them were going to hell together in the next moment, she would still feel at ease.

Qin Mubai stretched out his hand and gently wiped the scab on her face. “Why are you so stupid? You just need to know that I’m safe and sound here, right? If you have any mistakes, who will I marry when I return safely?” Qin Mubai said softly.

Princess Gaoyang’s tears finally flowed down her cheeks, and she quickly burst into tears and plunged into Qin Mubai’s embrace.

At this moment, Qin Mubai felt unprecedented gratification.

Originally, Qin Mubai felt a little guilty for having done such a foolish thing on the night before the wedding, even though he had been harmed. But at this moment, it was Princess Gao Yang’s open-mindedness and determination that made him feel a trace of warmth from the extreme cold, seeping into his heart and spleen.

Princess Gao Yang sobbed in Qin Mubai’s arms as she said, “Mubai, Yao’er came to see me in the middle of the night and sent Su Lianqing a message. I know everything. Then, I went to see my father in the middle of the night and told him everything. At the same time, Su Lianqing climbed over the wall to meet Fang Xuanling.”

Qin Mubai patted Princess Gaoyang’s back and said softly, “There’s no need to say anything, I know everything …”

“Ah!” Princess Gaoyang cried out in alarm and raised her head. “You know?”

Seeing Princess Mubai’s tearful eyes, Qin Gaoyang nodded and said, “The only thing I didn’t expect was that they would use such a vicious trick and even disgrace the dignity of the previous emperor.” Actually, His Majesty already knew. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be so safe now, and I would definitely be brought to justice at the first possible moment. If such a thing happens, no matter who is right or wrong, I will die without a doubt. “Isn’t that so?”

“So … you already had a plan? Why didn’t you tell me earlier, tell me!!!” Princess Gaoyang was both angry and anxious. She swung her pink fist at Qin Mubai’s chest and smashed it hard. At the same time, she burst into tears.

“I’m sorry, Ling’er. This matter is not only about my life and death, but also about His Majesty’s honor and disgrace. The current situation of the Imperial Court and the future of the Great Tang. I can only discuss it with His Majesty alone and can’t tell anyone else.” Qin Mubai said, “Forgive my selfishness.”

“I hate you, hate you, hate you!!!” Princess Gaoyang cried hysterically, making Qin Mubai’s clothes wet.

“Boom!” The door was knocked open and Qin Tong barged in. Just as he was about to shout in a hurry, he couldn’t help but stop himself when he saw this scene.

Qin Mubai turned to look at Qin Tong and said, “Is that Second Concubine already dead?”

Qin Tong nodded.

Qin Mubai also nodded. A cold killing intent flashed in his eyes as he said in a deep voice, “Well done, I’ll let them off.”

“Third Brother, what should we do now?” Qin Tong gritted his teeth and said, “Now, run away with Your Highness the Princess! I’ll send you out of the palace while my brother is still in control of the situation here. You’ll run far away and never come back!”

Qin Mubai smiled and patted Princess Gaoyang on the shoulder to get her out of her embrace. He stood up and said, “Big brother, send me to prison!”

“What are you talking about?”

“Just do as I say. Everything will be fine, big brother.” Qin Mubai smiled resolutely.

Qin Tong was dumbfounded. He looked at Qin Mubai and Princess Gaoyang suspiciously, puzzled.

“Big brother, there’s no need to say more. You will know in the future. Send me to prison, or else you and the Qin Family will be implicated.” Qin Mubai said.

Qin Tong was at a loss. He looked at Princess Gao Yang with uncertainty and asked her for her opinion.

Princess Gaoyang wiped her tears and nodded.

Qin Tong finally nodded and shouted, “Someone, tie Qin Mubai up and send him to prison!”

Princess Gao Yang hurriedly whispered, “Big Brother, you must definitely protect Mubai Zhouquan! Don’t let anyone take advantage of the chaos to murder him or mistreat him!”

“I know. Princess, don’t worry. Mubai is also my own brother!”

Qin Mubai was finally tied up and thrown into the prison. It was also a private prison for hundreds of cavalry and was rarely used to hold prisoners. It was said that since the establishment of the Hundred Cavalry, apart from Princess Gao Yang’s handmaidens, there had been less than ten prisoners here.

The prisoners here had always been personally questioned and tried by the emperor, convicted, and then secretly dealt with by the Hundred Cavalry.

The Hundred Cavalry Prison was the most mysterious “secret service” of the Great Tang.

Qin Mubai never thought that one day, he would personally squat in the Hundred Cavalry Prison that he had set up.

The prison did not have the appearance of a prison. In a courtyard, not only did there not exist any bloodstains or torture tools, but there were also birds singing, flowers aroma, wine, and dishes.

Superb treatment of political prisoners. Qin Mubai drank a pot of warm wine and a few plates of dishes. Eight Hundred Cavalry Guards surrounded him, their eyes as complex as stone sculptures.

Qin Mubai was calm and collected, and soon, he was full of wine and food, and fell asleep. Last night was too much work, so I had to sleep well and make up for it.

In another place outside the imperial palace, the once famous bamboo pavilion was filled with crisscrossed cheers.

“Fuck!” Hanwang Li Yuanchang raised his wine cup high and laughed loudly, “Happy! Happy! The wedding is cancelled, and everyone is dead. There is no evidence! Presumably at this moment, even if the Qin family’s corpse is not torn into pieces, they will still be thrown into prison to eat and wait for death.”

“Your Highness indeed has a brilliant plan.” Chang Sun Huan raised his cup and said, “To His Highness’s great achievement in eliminating his formidable enemies, let’s drink a toast!”

“Oh right, why didn’t Fang Yiai come?”

‘”I’ve already sent someone to invite him. I’m sure he will arrive soon. He’s probably suffocated after coming back from the desert. It’s common for Ye Yu and the other two girls to have a hangover. It’s probably a little late. We’ll have a feast now. There’s no need to wait for him.” Li Yuanchang laughed.

At this time, a pair of beautiful twin sisters floated over and sat down beside Li Yuanchang. “Please change the wine for His Highness.”

“Good, good!” Li Yuanchang laughed loudly, feeling very uncomfortable and displeased.

“Your Highness is so lucky!” Changsun Huan was a person with good taste, and he smiled knowingly at this moment.

Li Yuanchang laughed heartily. He hugged a beauty on each side and said, “The two beloved ladies have finally agreed to be Little Wang’s servants! Brother Chang Sun, when Brother Fang comes, we will discuss a good day and hold a wedding banquet to celebrate. Haha, the wedding wine in the palace can’t be eaten. There’s still Little Wang here!”

“That’s good.” Changsun Huan smiled and said, “The heavens are filled with sorrow and joy. It would be best if that person surnamed Qin isn’t dead yet. He has to watch His Highness do the wedding. By the way, Your Highness, didn’t you always have a little blind girl called Yao’er? Marry her as well!”

“That bitch!” Li Yuanchang spat hatefully and hugged the beauty beside him tightly. “I have the favor of the Tantai sisters, what’s the use of her?” However, the resentful little wang could not bear it. Needless to say, after Qin is finished, I’ll call a servant and tie her up with a hemp rope. Duke Yi and the Qin Immortal Pavilion were nothing to Little Wang. “That bitch is blind and pretends to be tall in front of Little Wang. When that time comes, Little Wang will strip off her clothes and throw her among a group of beggars. She will be humiliated until she dies. She will go to the ground and cry to someone surnamed Qin!”

The Tantai sisters were so cooperative that their entire bodies trembled and they went straight for Li Yuanchang. Li Yuanchang quickly comforted him, “Don’t be afraid, darling. Little Wang has always only dealt with his enemies. It’s too late to love his darling!”

“If one day our sisters make a mistake, will His Highness treat us the same way?” Big sister Tantai Dandan whispered in fear.

“No, no. A husband and wife should be grateful for a hundred days in a night. How could Little Wang be so ruthless and ruthless?” Li Yuanchang chuckled and said, “As long as you serve me well …”

“Bad guy, all you want is to take advantage of me!” Tantai Shuangshuang pushed Li Yuanchang. The two sisters took off his body and left angrily.

Li Yuanchang laughed heartily and drank up a full glass of wine.

“Your Highness, according to the situation, you haven’t completely subdued this pair of sisters yet,” Chang Sunhuan said with a smile.

“There’s no hurry. Since it’s a top grade item, you should slowly taste it.” Li Yuanchang heaved a sigh of relief and smiled, “The sisters insisted that they had to officially marry before they could sleep together.” There was no shortage of women around Xiao Wang, nor was he in a hurry for a moment! Women, that’s all. The best thing is that you can’t get it. The sooner you get it, the more boring it will be. The mystery of keeping them alive for an extra day was a little more attractive. Little Wang’s heart was filled with interest. “Brother Changsun, I’m inferior to you in other aspects. When it comes to playing with women, you’re definitely not as experienced as me, haha!”

“Haha, Your Highness is already at the peak of perfection. Little brother sighs and feels inferior. Your Highness, please, little brother, a toast to you!” Changsun Huan smiled.

The two of them raised their glasses again and drank heartily. Soon, half an hour had passed and Fang Yiai still hadn’t come. However, the two of them were already half drunk and had forgotten about him.

At this moment, Tantai Dandan was walking out of Li Yuanchang’s bedroom. His sister, Tantai Shuangshuang, who was watching from the outside, hurriedly greeted him, “Found it?”

‘”Found it! That thief deserves to die! What he said after getting drunk last night to coax us to sleep was actually true! He really hid some exquisite mechanism under his bed. It took me quite some effort to open it, but there’s actually a dark room below! Apart from precious artifacts and mundane objects like gold and silver, I’ve finally found something like this!” Tantai Dandan raised his hand and a long and narrow tube box wrapped in a faded grey cloth bag.

“Excellent! We have finally completed our mission and can escape! This item must be extremely important. It is very likely that it concerns General Qin’s life! We must send it to Big Sister Su as soon as possible!”

“Good! … Big sister, that fellow Li Yuanchang has underestimated us many times. I can’t bear it anymore! Should I kill him with a single sword strike to relieve the hatred in my heart?”

“No! General Qin has his own plans. We only need to take care of our own affairs! There’s no need to say anything else. It’s important to get away-let’s go!”

…

Baiji prison.

Qin Mother Madam Liu carried a small food box, accompanied by Shuang’er and Yao’er, and stood in front of the camp. It was very difficult for the guards to recognize them. Neither was stopping them, nor letting them in. He could only stand in front of them and turn his face away, sighing loudly.

“Little brothers, there’s no need to sigh. Although I’m a female, I know the rules.” Madam Liu’s eyes were red as he said weakly, “I’ve come into this palace.” Camp Baiji, I’m in; I must enter this prison camp as well. I know that no one except His Majesty the Emperor will be able to see anyone who has entered the Baiji camp. But this time, I’ll ask my little brothers to accommodate me. I’m just delivering some dishes that I personally made for my child. His mouth is filled with greed. This meal is probably his decapitated meal. Don’t you want me to be a mother? Do you want me to give you dessert? ”

After saying that, Madam Liu and Shuang’er Yao’er began to cry together. The eyes of the guards were about to turn red.

“Old Madame, please come in! But please don’t delay for too long. Let us be in a difficult situation.”

“Alright, thank you Little Brother!”

The three women walked into the courtyard. Qin Mubai was standing under a tree, deep in thought. Seeing his mother and sisters coming over, he was instantly overjoyed, but his expression was still filled with sadness and regret. He quickly greeted them and bowed down to his mother.

“This child is unfilial, I have to trouble mother to be sad!”

“My son, quickly get up!”

The three women surrounded Qin Mubai and pulled him to his feet. Yao’er was quick-witted and stuffed something into Qin Mubai’s hand.

It’s a tubular object! Qin Mubai understood and quickly put it into his sleeve, then hugged his mother and sisters and cried bitterly.

In this situation, the Hundred Cavalry Guards on the scene couldn’t interfere. They sighed and sighed, “A person really isn’t as good as the heavens. Just now, the scenery was boundless. In the blink of an eye, life and death were separated!”

Late at night, Qin Mubai was half asleep.

In the dream, a picture of the Golden Gothic Iron Horse appeared clearly.

… the setting sun of the ancient city, the spear of a fierce horse; Hot blood washed the red tassel, and the cavalry broke through the Eight

But now, he was trapped in a dilemma.

His voice was filled with overwhelming ambition, unable to fly through the shackles of the cage, unable to dodge the cold spear and hidden arrows. Qin Mubai was not interested in these battles. He just wanted to do something he wanted to do in his lifetime.

But unfortunately, there were always endless troubles lingering around, lingering on and on.

The circle of Hundred Cavalry Guards surrounding his dormitory suddenly evacuated neatly. Qin Mubai, who had awakened from his sleep, noticed that there was almost no sound coming from his hands and feet. He immediately bounced up and put on his clothes and got out of bed.

The door was pushed open, and a black cloak covering his head flashed into the room.

“Mubai.”

The familiar voice made Qin Mubai’s heart boil.

“Bi …”

“There’s no need to say anything. Let’s cut to the chase.”

It was Li Shimin!

He walked in front of Qin Mubai and his eyes under the black cloak looked at him with a complicated expression.

“Your Majesty already knows everything. All I can do is hand this thing over to Your Majesty!” After Qin Mubai finished speaking, she took out a tubular cloth bag from her sleeve and handed it to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin stretched out his hand and took it. He held it tightly in his hand, his knuckles cracking.

The dust on the bag did not disappear, and when he reached out to remove the rope that had sealed the opening of the bag, a burst of dust fell. Li Shimin’s hands paused for a moment before he turned to look at Qin Mubai with admiration and nodded.

Very good, no one had opened this cloth bag before Li Shimin. Neither did Qin Mubai.

Li Shimin slowly took out an apricot-yellow scroll-the Imperial Decree!

Qin Mubai’s heart trembled. Imperial edict?

Could it be left behind by the previous emperor? !

Of course he didn’t ask.

Li Shimin only glanced at it in a hurry. His expression, which had always been solemn and cold, did not show any change in his emotions. Then, he quickly put it away and put it in his arms.

After staring at Qin Mubai, Li Shimin turned around and left.

From the beginning to the end, Qin Mubai did not say another word.

However, in his heart, he heaved a sigh of relief!

Fortunately, I suppressed my strong curiosity and didn’t open the cloth bag. Regardless of the origin of that imperial edict, other than Li Shimin, who would die?

Li Yuanchang, you’re finished!

This bitter plot to “lure the snake out of the hole” had only succeeded by half today!

It was just that he didn’t know what kind of “big snake” this would lead to, so he could only wait and see!
