Settled in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 456 deep meaning
It was midsummer at this time, and the dungeon was stuffy and hot, and the only small window was built so high that even Xue Lang's stature couldn't reach it.The wooden grid is not too small, but Xue Lang is still sweating profusely from the heat.

He is a person who is used to tidiness, even in such a stuffy environment, he just took off his round collar robe and was still wearing a layer of underwear.Except in front of close people like Her Royal Highness, he is not used to being shirtless.

In the small cell, the hay had already been shoveled together by his feet and piled up in the corner. Fortunately, this is a sky prison, not a dungeon. Although the light is not good, there is still some light during the day.

Xue Lang waited for a long time to confirm that there were no more bugs hiding, and then he put the round neck robe he took off on the ground to sit on his buttocks.The jailer had checked back and forth several times, but he didn't scold him, but knocked on the door of the cell to make him calm down.

The jailer didn't come to provoke him, and Xue Lang didn't bother to take care of him. After clearing out a place to sit and rest for a while, he picked up a piece of hay and scribbled on the dirt floor to pass the time.

"Youyang!"

Hearing His Royal Highness calling him, Xue Lang immediately jumped up, slammed on the wooden door, and quickly responded: "Here it is!"

Then, hearing footsteps, Her Royal Highness ordered in a dignified tone: "Open the cell door!"

Then, I heard the warden retort weakly: "Your Highness, this is against the rules!"

Princess Pingyang said: "The person inside is my son-in-law. I guarantee in the name of Princess An Guo Pingyang that the son-in-law will not escape, and there will never be any accidents!"

The warden still hesitated, Princess Pingyang replied: "If the saint asks, I will take care of everything. Open the prison door!"

The warden dawdled, not wanting to move.Princess Pingyang snorted coldly, and glanced at Akoo who was beside her. Akoo lifted her foot directly, kicked the warden aside with one foot, drew out the short sword hanging from her waist, split the lock on the door with one sword, and pushed open the prison door—

Xue Lang hurriedly said: "Jianling, don't come in, the inside is uneven, the light is dim, be careful of falling!"

As he said that, he walked out of the door on his own initiative, and smiled brightly at Princess Pingyang who was standing outside the door, but his face was gaudy with sweat and stains, and his white teeth dazzled his eyes.

Princess Pingyang has been trying to maintain a calm mind, and now she is really stable. She looked carefully at Xue Lang's face and body, saw that he was only wearing underwear, and asked, "Where is your outer robe? But Are they embarrassing you?"

When the downed warden heard this, he simply shrank in a corner and pretended to be dead.Xue Lang shook his head: "No, it was too hot inside so I took it off and sat on the floor. It was dirty and I didn't take it out."

Princess Pingyang nodded, and glanced at Chuxue, Chuxue understood, and immediately said: "Please wait a moment, servant girl, let me clean it."

Xue Lang got out of the way and let Chuxue go in to clean, looking at Princess Pingyang's eyes, he was very ashamed: "I'm sorry, I made you worry."

Princess Pingyang shook her head and said: "You and I are husband and wife, why are you saying such nonsense! Come, come here, let me take a good look!"

Xue Lang passed by, and Chuxue had already brought in a basin of water. Princess Pingyang wiped his face and washed his hands with her own hands. Xue Lang just wanted to refuse, but seeing that her movements were slow but very determined, he held back and wiped him cooperatively. Clean hands and face.

Princess Pingyang looked at it for a while, and said with a smile: "This is my lord, clean and tidy, as handsome as a picture."

Princess Pingyang's calm and composed appearance infected Xue Lang, but it also made him feel even more ashamed.Princess Pingyang knew what he was thinking just by looking at him without asking, she patted his hand reassuringly, took the clean and light clothes from Chu Xue, and changed them for Xue Lang.

Watching the servants clean up the cell, and make people sprinkle mosquito repellent powder on the corners and other places, set up a couch for him, put toilet buckets and other things in the corners, and then watch Xue Lang drink A large bowl of cold boiled water.

After tidying up, Princess Pingyang said: "You go out and watch, I will have a few words of kindness with the son-in-law."

"Here."

Chuxue led the people out, and Akoo took away the warden who was hiding in the corner and pretending to be dead. Only Princess Pingyang and Xue Lang were left in the cell.

Princess Pingyang said: "My lord loves to be clean and tidy. In such an environment as a prison, your lord has suffered a lot!"

Xue Lang patted his head in embarrassment, and said in shame: "I risked my own death, so no one else can blame me."

Princess Pingyang glanced at him, with a calm expression, and said: "It turns out that the lord still knows that it is because of me. I don't know why, but let the lord act like this? I should listen carefully. It is still early, and the lord But take your time."

oops!The long-lost Bengong is out again!

Her Royal Highness is not happy!
Xue Lang was both happy and ashamed in his heart, he sighed, but he didn't hide it from her, and told her all about the conversation with the saint after entering the palace today.After finishing speaking, Xue Lang laughed at himself: "Probably something hurts the other. The saint's rash words made me very angry. I couldn't help but said a few words. I was too angry and the tone was not very good. The saint blamed me too." should."

"Do things hurt their kind? That's how it is."

Princess Pingyang nodded, noncommittal. After a moment of silence, she suddenly raised her head and looked directly at Xue Lang with sharp eyes: "Apart from that, do you have any other intentions?"

Xue Lang sighed in his heart, he knew he couldn't hide it from her, besides, he didn't want to hide it from her either!Therefore, Xue Lang nodded calmly and replied, "Yes!"

Princess Pingyang looked at him and said nothing.Xue Lang said frankly: "One, the sage's recklessness really made me very angry; two, I think this may be the only chance to leave the capital."

Xue Lang, as the new Duke of the state, the right servant of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and a powerful official in charge of many affairs, it is not easy to transfer out of the capital.

In this era when everyone wants to be an official in the capital, but he wants to be transferred outside...it doesn't make sense.If the sage asks the reason, can you tell him——

I do it because I don't want to get involved with your two sons fighting for reserves?Isn't this asking for a dead end!Absolutely not!
What's more, the Crown Prince and the King of Qin are not fools, and it has always been difficult to be a neutral faction. If you are not careful, you will end up displeasing and offending both parties.

Xue Lang remembered that in the historical records, the future His Majesty Taizong treated the ministers who did not support him at the beginning, but he was determined not to be soft-hearted, and he was determined not to reuse him.If there is a slight mistake, it will be punished, and it will be blamed at every turn.However, he treated his courtiers who supported him very generously, with a clear distinction between what he likes and what he hates.

If there is no Princess Pingyang, Xue Lang will definitely support King Qin without hesitation.Even if he, a traveler, changed some things, the general trend of history would not be changed because of one or two people. The dispute between King Qin and Prince Jiancheng was already irreconcilable.

If you ask who is the person Xue Lang cares most about in this world, then only Princess Pingyang.Xue Lang didn't want to say that everything was for the princess, that would be too hypocritical.Since the two are already husband and wife, they are one body. There is no argument for anyone, but only the position of mutual respect and the principle of mutual tolerance.

Since the normal way is not going to work, Xue Lang can only look for it through the abnormal way.When he realized that the sage wanted to tell him about changing King Qin to be the crown prince, he knew——

The opportunity is coming!
