Settled in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 459
"Prince also retreat."

After driving out Princess Pingyang and the crown prince, the sage looked at Pei Ji with unpredictable eyes and asked, "Come on, why do you speak for Xue Lang?"

Pei Ji smiled, and said honestly: "I know that the sage's eyes are like torches, and he can't hide it. Don't dare to lie to the sage. Last night, Princess An Guo Pingyang sent someone to my house and gave me a cart full of belongings. There are several altars of fine wine. If I enter the palace today, I will look for an opportunity to say a few words for the son-in-law. However, the sage is aware of the details, how dare the old minister agree? He was just greedy for fine wine, so he ordered people to return the belongings and keep the fine wine. It was just a few pertinent words The words of the sage have already seen the clue, and the old minister is ashamed."

The saint nodded and said nothing.Seeing this, Pei Ji sighed: "Oh, no matter how shrewd and wise a woman is after this woman gets married and has a child, she can't help running around for her husband and children. What kind of person is the princess in the past, but today she finds an old minister for her son-in-law. In front of you, it’s really amazing.”

The sage also sighed, and said: "My daughter Pingyang has spent many years of youth, and now she has just found a good son-in-law, and she is about to give birth to a child. It is human nature to have many concerns. Although Xue Lang is not good, but above the princess, I But there is no dissatisfaction."

"The sage has a loving father, and the veteran also has a loving daughter. The true heart has relatives."

The two old men discussed the issue of loving their daughter, and the more they talked, the more they felt a confidant.After talking with the sage for a while, Pei Ji just left the palace, and when he got into the carriage, Pei Ji said to the attendants: "Go to IKEA to buy a cotton mattress for the old man, and just say that the old man has done his best to do what the master entrusted. , and finally lived up to the entrustment of the master."

"Here."

After the attendant left, Pei Ji just stroked his beard, his face turned pale——

The sage called him a cunning old man, but he was really his confidant.He should make persistent efforts and live up to the sage's evaluation.

Not to mention Pei Ji's secret complacency, the saints in the palace didn't rush back to the harem after Pei Ji had retired, and didn't even review the memorabilia. After a long time, I just ordered: "Come here, set up the prison! And do it in secret, don't make any noise."

"Here!"

Xue Lang has been in the prison for several days. With Princess Pingyang secretly taking care of him, the days are not particularly unbearable. He is a person who can endure loneliness. Even if he is alone, he can still enjoy himself. .

The only thing he couldn't bear was that he couldn't take a bath in the dungeon, the weather was hot, and the environment in the prison was relatively stuffy. He didn't dare to smell his own body, and he was already very stuffy.

As for the sanitation in the cells, jailers would come to clean them every day, and after cleaning, they would put mosquito repellent powder on the corners and other places.The smell is very familiar, just like the one that Su Han got at home, presumably it was sent by the princess.

The hay in the previous cell was also cleared away, and the jailer built him a simple bed near the window, with a layer of cotton mattress and summer mat, and an old summer quilt——

After all, it's going to jail, so don't overdo it, the things you bring are all old.

The environment has improved, and the diet has also improved. Every day, the jailer will give him a pot of cold water to drink. There is no big fish or meat in the meal, and the food is light, but fortunately it is not bad rice, but light and watery, which is not unbearable. .

Every morning and evening, he still insists on exercising. The cell is too small to run, but he keeps doing push-ups.After exercising, he took it, wrote and drew on the ground, and passed the time——

The princess would come over every day to change his clothes and talk to him.Therefore, even though he was in prison, Xue Lang felt that his days were quite leisurely.

After the princess came today, Xue Lang drew pictures on the dirt floor as usual, thoughtfully——

The princess came every day these days, and she didn't say when the saint would let him out, or how he wanted to deal with him.As I said today, the sage was still angry, but he obviously didn't intend to kill him, thinking he wanted to make him suffer more.In order to achieve his goal of belittling other places, the princess asked him to stay for a few more days.

Xue Lang agreed, even if the princess didn't say anything, it would not be easy to handle this matter.The so-called unfathomable power of the sky, in this ancient times, the saint who is the emperor is not the sky?As long as the sage doesn't want to kill him, it's okay to suffer for a few more days, Xue Lang can bear it.

"Xue Lang!"

He lowered his head and doodled in a daze, when he suddenly heard someone calling him, the voice was a saint——

Xue Lang almost jumped up from the ground, turned around and looked out, isn't he a saint!He brought the little Huangmen eunuch who was often seen around him, and the bearded guard named Guanglu whom he had seen during the Shangyuan Festival.

Look at the situation, the sage is going light and easy, visiting in a low-key manner?

Xue Lang was a little bit guilty, but he still saluted honestly: "Minister Xue Lang pays homage to the saint, and the saint is safe."

The sage changed from his usual kind and friendly expression, his face sank like water, and he could not see any joy or anger at all. After someone opened the cell door, he walked in, scanned the small cell, and said coldly, "It seems that you It’s comfortable to stay in the dungeon!”

Xue Lang said frankly: "Thanks to the princess's care, I can live fairly well in the sky prison."

The saint snorted coldly and said, "How much can I thank my daughter?"

Xue Lang replied: "To the sage, husband and wife are one. I take care of the princess with all my heart, and the princess takes care of me with all my heart. Husband and wife love each other deeply. Thank you so much!"

Hey!This brazen bastard boy!

The sage watched him grind his teeth for a while, so he shouldn't have allowed Pingyang to take care of him in private, he should have let him taste the pain of the prison.The saint couldn't help snorting again, went straight to Xue Lang's makeshift bed and sat down, raised his chin: "Come and talk back!"

"Here!"

Xue Lang walked up to the head of the saint and stood there in a well-behaved manner.The saint said: "If I knew today, would I still be so presumptuous to me in the palace?"

Xue Lang said proudly: "The place of righteousness is not to lean on power and disregard its interests. Once you have done it, you will not regret it. The only person who regrets it was too rude that day. If you do it all over again, you will definitely find something to say it." Be tactful, but never keep silent and pretend not to know.

"You boy!"

On the contrary, the saint was amused by him, sighed, and said: "You have always been so upright, and you are so ignorant of my daughter?"

Xue Lang was a little speechless for a moment, very embarrassed——

Love words between husband and wife, how can I tell my father-in-law!What the sage asked was really... so gossip!
Seeing that his face was flushed, the sage grunted and couldn't answer, but laughed loudly: "But how troublesome is it to slander my father-in-law in my heart?"

Xue Lang hurriedly said: "I never slandered, but what I can say to the princess, I have to say it to the saint...it's very embarrassing, I can't say it at all, and naturally I can't answer the saint's question."

This honest look made the sage smile again. After laughing, he looked at Xue Lang for a while, and sighed: "You have never changed your original intention, you are spotless, and have always been so honest and upright. If everyone in the world is like you good!"

Xue Lang said: "however there are so many intelligent and talented people in the world, how can they be as stupid as a minister?"

The sage's expression was unpredictable: "It's a pity that there are too many smart people in the world!"

Xue Lang didn't know how to answer, so he could only remain silent for a while.The saint didn't seem to care whether he could pick up the words or not, he was in a daze for a while, and when he came back to his senses, he saw Xue Lang standing obediently, with his waist straight and motionless, his heart warmed up, and he waved to him: "Forget it, I've been standing for a long time, my legs are not moving." Are you sore? Come here, let me sit down, you and I will have a good talk today."
