The Road of the Queen

Chapter 24

"It seems that you still don't know that Princess Jinglan of You Kingdom is already my father's concubine Jing. By the way, she is now my thirteenth brother's mother and concubine!" Li Chunqiu raised his eyebrows solemnly after saying this. , There was a stern look in the eyes.

Shen Bingjun stared at Li Chunqiu with wide eyes, with an expression of disbelief flowing from his crystal eyes.Dan lips trembled slightly due to surprise, he knelt and crawled two steps towards Li Chunqiu with trembling corners of his mouth, and cried again.

Liu Zihuan really smiled when he saw this scene.The oval face is as rosy as a freshly picked autumn fruit, the corners of the lips are also curved, and the almond eyes are also curved, but the smiling face looks sinister and makes people look sideways.

Out of the corner of Yin Yuting's eyes, he saw Liu Zihuan, and the cinnabar mole between his eyebrows shone red.He looked at Shen Bingjun, feeling melancholy in his heart, and asked with an unchanged expression: "I don't want revenge, and I don't want to restore the country. Then what are you doing in Chengwang's mansion?" He hid something about Shen Bingjun Lianxi continued to ask aggressively: "Shen Bingjun, why did you leave yourself so clean? Even if you tell your true intentions, the prince will not kill you!"

His words were very arbitrary, even if he didn't arouse Cheng Wang Li Chunqiu's dissatisfaction, on the contrary, he first aroused the dissatisfaction of another person.Only Liu Zihuan immediately retorted: "Yin Liulang, you are wrong. For this remnant of Youguo lurking in the palace, I believe the prince will definitely not spare his life."

Yin Yuting sneered dismissively: "Is that really the case..." He turned to look at the silent Li Chunqiu: "My lord?"

Cheng Wang Li Chunqiu raised his head and looked at Yin Yuting who asked him something, although he still had no expression on his face, but his peach blossom eyes lost the old look and affection, and there was faint sadness, which was faintly oozing out.

The flirtatious red mole, at this time, the flickering light is watching Li Chunqiu like a third eye.

Li Chunqiu shifted his gaze to Shen Bingjun who was kneeling on the ground in front of him.Shen Bingjun's drooping head was almost close to the ground, and his shoulders shook like chaff.The hem of the pure white gown was stained, as if his mood at this moment could no longer be as calm as before.

Li Chunqiu asked: "Why have you been lurking in the palace for two years? Why haven't you escaped after stealing the "Youguo Tongjian"? - Boyan Nahai." His voice was as calm as a still lake, without even cadence .

Hearing his real name, Shen Bingjun raised his head trembling slightly.His eyes that had been washed by tears became even colder, and his spotless face seemed to have regained the look that should have been due to his once noble blood.He had lost his expression, and was as indifferent and distant as usual: "If I say so, can the lord save my sister Jinglan?"

"Hmph!" Liu Zihuan snorted coldly through his nose: "What a joke! She is already His Majesty's Concubine Jing, a member of our Great Tang."

Shen Bingjun lowered his eyes and pursed his lips tightly.

Yin Yuting leaned over and whispered something in Li Chunqiu's ear, Li Chunqiu nodded.Yin Yuting said to Shen Bingjun: "Young Master Shen, please answer me first, so what if you save Concubine Jing?"

This sentence was really Shen Bingjun's knot in his heart, and his expression became confused again.It took a long time before Shangran opened his lips and said, "Go back to You Country with me."

"It has already perished, and now it is Youzhou of our Tang Dynasty." Yin Yuting reminded.

"Then we will die in our homeland together."

"But she just gave birth to the thirteenth prince, and your little nephew is still in his infancy. Do you have the heart to let him have no mother?"

"The thirteen princes are the blood of the Tang royal family. The son of the enemy, how pitiful!"

Yin Yuting smiled playfully, and asked the last question: "Then... how can you be sure that Concubine Jing is willing to leave the prince behind and go to Youzhou to die for the country with you?"

"This..." Shen Bingjun couldn't answer, so he had to frown deeply and remain silent.

Yin Yuting watched quietly with a smile on his face.Li Chunqiu watched with cold eyes.Liu Zihuan's face was gloomy.

At this moment, Pei Qinggang who had been standing behind Li Chunqiu suddenly said: "Mr. Shen, listen to me. Don't be obsessed with rescuing Concubine Jing. Don't let the young thirteenth prince lose his mother. I'm an orphan, do I understand?" How sad it is for a child without a mother."

The eyes of several people were all focused on Pei Qinggang's dark face.There was no expression on his face, his black eyes were shining brightly: "Mr. Shen..."

Shen Bingjun finally let out a long sigh, and once again said in a angry voice: "Prince...I just ask you to let me meet Concubine Jing again! As long as we meet again, my life, Boyan Nahai, is up to you!" He called Concubine Jing , has obviously recognized Princess Jinglan's current identity.

Li Chunqiu's voice still had no cadence, but it came clearly: "Answer my two questions first."

Shen Bingjun lowered his head and thought, before raising his body for a long time, he said: "I did steal "Youguo Tongjian". That day in the carriage, Zhuo Jingzhi told Yin Liulang where the book was stored, and I was taking a nap, so I kept it in my heart When stealing books, I really thought about digging up treasures to restore the country, but I didn’t think so afterward.”

"What did you think later?" Liu Zihuan asked.

"Later..." Shen Bingjun wandered around, glancing at Li Chunqiu from the corner of his eye: "Later, I just wanted to keep this book as a souvenir, after all, it is an old thing of my country, that's all."

After hearing this, Yin Yuting nodded solemnly.

Li Chunqiu didn't even look at him and said, "There is one more question."

Shen Bingjun knew that Li Chunqiu asked him why he was lurking in the palace, and felt bitter in his heart, so he finally said it out: "When You Kingdom just died, I had nowhere to go. Fortunately, the prince helped me to live in the palace as a musician. , I am no longer Boyan Nahai, the third prince of You Country, I am just a musician in the Cheng Palace."

"I never thought of using the prince to save your sister Jinglan?" Liu Zihuan asked with a sneer.

"I thought about it." Shen Bingjun sighed.

Yin Yuting said: "But I don't want my real identity to be exposed, and I don't want to attack the prince, am I right?" When he said this, he showed a gentle smile: "Because Mr. Shen fell in love with our prince .”

"What did you say!" Liu Zihuan was shocked, staring blankly at Yin Yuting who had a soft face.Pei Qinggang, who was standing behind King Cheng, was also quite surprised.Only Li Chunqiu and Shen Bingjun did not change their colors, one played with his fingers expressionlessly, and the other bowed his head and looked down in silence.

Finally the truth came out.Now, let's see how Li Chunqiu decides.

Yin Yuting watched quietly with a smile on his face.

The waterside garden was so quiet that not even the sound of breathing could be heard.Except for Yin Yuting who was waiting for the show, and Li Chunqiu who was expressionless, the expressions of the other three changed a little.

After a while, Shen Bingjun broke the silence.I saw him looking at Yin Yuting faintly, and asked softly: "You said that you saw me through because I played "Drunken Flower Yin" half a beat slower, which is not true. Please tell me, you How did you find out my identity?"

Yin Yuting laughed, looking at the smooth nails on his green fingers: "That's right, playing the wrong rhythm is only one of the reasons. In fact, the most important clue for me to see through your identity is—perception fragrance!"

As if he had already guessed it, the corners of Shen Bingjun's lips curled up, and his star-like eyes looked at Li Chunqiu.

Yin Yuting said again: "The fragrance of perception can emit a calming fragrance according to the emotions of the people who use it. It must be the two traditional Chinese medicines of lavender and cicada flower. According to the records of "Youguo Tongjian", this cicada flower is It is a special product of You country, and the output is very small, only the royal family will use it as a spice."

"I see." Shen Bingjun sighed softly.You need to know the end, and I will break it down next time.
