„What do you know?” This is the princess sends away the first issue after people. “你都知道什么？”这是公主屏退众人之后的第一个问题。. Hall endomorphism emptily, only then a maidservant and an aide are allowed to stay behind, the maidservant has defended side the princess, was called „long beard” the aide restored the habit, is monitoring the guest vigilantly, kowtowed the matter that apologized as if not to occur a moment ago. 厅内变得空荡荡的,只有一名丫环和一名侍从获准留下,丫环一直守在公主身边,被叫做“长胡子”的侍从已经恢复常态,警惕地监视着客人,刚才磕头赔罪的事情似乎从来就没发生过。 The slender blade still stood in the ground, Gu Shenwei one step, breaks the boundary that the princess has set forward, the long beard complexion changes, has not actually adopted to prevent to move. 狭刀仍然立在地面上,顾慎为向前一步,突破了公主定下的界限,长胡子脸色微变,却没有采取阻止行动。 „I know that in the palace a maidservant is pregnant, seven in August, has been in labor to near, what if gives birth is the boy, the princess must die without doubt.” “我知道宫中一名侍女怀孕,已经七八月了,临产在即,如果产下的是男孩,公主必死无疑。” The princess as to smile, the face twitches several, finally has not smiled, „interesting, first supposed you said are true, the palace maid was pregnant, the child in stomach naturally was your majesty, had what threat to me?” 公主似乎想笑,脸部抽动几下,最终没有笑出来,“有意思,先假设你所言属实吧,宫女怀孕,肚中的孩子自然是陛下的,对我有何威胁？” „I said that the princess who I knew why must cover up, if you do not believe that these two people, I can kill them now.” “我说出我所知道的,公主为何还要遮遮掩掩,如果你不相信这两个人,我现在就能将他们杀死。” The Gu Shenwei vision sweeps to slender blade, the complexion of maidservant and long beard changes, but they believe that oneself the status in master mind, do not have, therefore scared. 顾慎为的目光扫向狭刀,丫环与长胡子的脸色又是一变,但他们相信自己在主人心目中的地位,没有因此恐慌。 magnificence Princess even is silent, what consideration is not the maidservant and aide is credible or not, then said with leisurely and desolate tone: „You-- with the empress dowager is inborn one pair, she needs some people to set on fire for her in all directions, but you must murder with a borrowed knife exactly, you run back Central Plains secretly are revenge, wishes one could to fire the flat land Capital City, is right?” 华平公主沉默不语,考虑的并非丫环与侍从可信与否,然后用悠缓而冷淡的语气说:“你——跟皇太后是天生一对,她需要有人替她四处放火,而你要恰好要借刀杀人,你偷偷跑回中原是来报仇的,恨不得将京城烧成平地,对不对？” Gu Shenwei walks slowly and aimlessly several steps toward the right rear, returns to behind the slender blade, approaches position that the long beard stands, the long beard is critical situation, the double fist grips tightly, observes closely the guest back stubbornly, actually has to retrocede to allow to pass through. 顾慎为朝右后方踱出几步,又回到狭刀后面,逼近长胡子站立的位置,长胡子如临大敌,双拳紧握,死死盯住客人后背,却不得不后退让路。 Gu Shenwei does not understand really this aide anxious anything, his martial arts is very ordinary, has a cavity to be loyal spatially, even cannot block most common Killer(s). 顾慎为真不明白这名侍从紧张什么,他的武功很一般,空有一腔忠诚,甚至挡不住最普通的杀手。 „I must revenge, does not give vent to indignation, only if entire Capital City must prevent me to revenge, otherwise, burns down it to have what significance?” “我要报仇,不是泄愤,除非整个京城都要阻止我报仇,否则的话,烧掉它有何意义？” Revenges only kills the personal enemy, gives vent to indignation actually slaughters innocents, the princess understands certainly difference, therefore surprised, lip slightly, will wait for one saying: „You do not think that I am a personal enemy? I have said that is I to sending for Western Region, disburses money to hire Killer(s) to destroy completely Gu Clan.” 报仇只杀仇人,泄愤却是滥杀无辜,公主当然明白其中的差别,因此大为惊讶,嘴唇微张,等了一会才说:“你不认为我是仇人？我说过,是我向派人去西域,出钱雇请杀手灭掉顾氏的。” „Princess has said that therefore I want to see to be sent Western Region the person by the princess.” “公主说过,所以我想见见被公主派到西域的这个人。” „Do you also think there is a reason for this inadequate?” “难道你还觉得另有内情不成？” „Harbors the killing intent with beginning to kill people after all is not a matter, I a little small doubts.” “怀有杀机与动手杀人毕竟不是一回事,我有一点小小的疑惑。” The princess hesitated, she has not thought that Dragon King so „reasonable”, this is clearly incompatible with the information that she obtains beforehand, is more widely divergent with her expectation, before then, she has never thought possible surname that and Dragon King reconciles, now actually becomes a choice. 公主犹豫了,她没想到龙王会如此“通情达理”,这与她事先得到的信息截然不符,更与她的期望大相径庭,在此之前,她从未想过与龙王和解的可能姓,现在却成为一种选择。 „Brings the old beard.” The princess orders saying that she as if all waits on the numerous to be classified as the nickname, moreover connects two people to be related with the beard. “把老胡子带来。”公主命令道,她似乎将所有侍众都冠以绰号,而且接连两人都与胡子有关。 That group of aides who a Gu Shenwei recollection, just evacuated slightly mostly leave leeway the style differently must the beard, it seems like that this is princess fondness of personally. 顾慎为稍一回想,刚刚撤离的那群侍从大都留有样式不同的须髭,看来这是公主的个人喜好。 The long beard bows to be, just before leaving before , shot a look at guest one eyes with the vision that detests extremely, probably he robbed this own favor, Gu Shenwei saw the face of that distortion from the knife. 长胡子躬身应是,临走前用极度憎恶的目光瞥了客人一眼,好像他抢走了本属于自己的宠幸,顾慎为从刀身上看到了那张扭曲的脸孔。 The long beard transmits princess's order in the entrance, oneself return the home position quickly , to continue to monitor the guest. 长胡子在门口传达公主的命令,自己很快退回原位,继续监视客人。 Princess's hostility actually greatly reduces, Gu Shenwei requested to see the past envoy, broke in her heart a firmest defense line, „said, you also believe another in palace did die is your majesty?” 公主的敌意却大大减少,顾慎为要求见当年的使者,打破了她心中最坚固的一道防线,“这么说,你也相信宫中的另一名遇难是陛下本人喽？” „Was a pity, I do not have the evidence.” “可惜,我没有证据。” „No one had the evidence, the empress dowager entire to block Imperial Palace, but this was the obvious fact: One crowd of Killer(s), infiltrate Imperial Palace beyond expectation, only this behavior itself sufficiently shocks the world, possibly to not assassinate desolate king heir apparent, he has not matched.” “谁都没有证据,皇太后将皇宫整个封锁了,可这是明摆着的事实:一群杀手,出人意料地混进皇宫,单是这行为本身就足以震惊天下,绝不可能只是为了暗杀萧王世子,他还不配。” „What troubles, the emperor did not have the heir, if announced the death news at this time, the inevitable worldwide chaos and various king struggled closely related, Pang will lose therefore power. As luck would have it a palace maid has been pregnant, she is the hope of Pang, if gives birth to the boy, will be the new emperor, the empress dowager will again obtain the administering the affairs of state power, present Pang is not several years ago, the influence was abundant, preparation will be full, nobody can fight with it.” “麻烦的是,皇帝一直没有子嗣,如果此时宣布死讯,必然天下大乱、诸王争嫡,庞家会因此失势。可巧一位宫女怀孕了,她是庞家的希望,如果产下男孩,就会是新皇帝,皇太后将再一次获得听政大权,如今的庞家不是十几年前了,势力雄厚、准备充分,无人能与其争锋。” Gu Shenwei words spoke in the princess mind, „, Dragon King has not seen the empress dowager, was actually familiar with her concern, you said my idea again.” 顾慎为的话句句说到公主心坎里,“嘿,龙王还没见过皇太后,对她的心事却了若指掌,那你再说说我的想法吧。” „Princess does not think to announce the death news at this time, because various king struggles also to threaten to your status closely related. Takes a broad view at the imperial family sovereign, three king influences were most abundant, have the qualifications to inherit Datong, inside did not have one is the princess is pleasing.” “公主也不想此时宣布死讯,因为诸王争嫡对你的地位也是威胁。放眼皇室宗主,共有三王势力最盛,有资格继承大统,里面没有一位是公主中意的。” The princess has smiled, is elated and empty, then she said to the long beard aide: „This is the Western Region person, had anything to say anything, probably Central Plains Imperial Court was mountain tops, several side influences occupied mountain is king, must struggle life and death not to be possible.” 公主笑了,欢畅而空洞,然后她对长胡子侍从说:“这就是西域人,有什么说什么,好像中原朝廷是一座座山头,几方势力占山为王,非得争个你死我活不可。” „Barbarian Bi people, experiences nature to be short, Your Highness does not need to care.” The long beard bows to say. “番邦鄙民,见识自然短浅,殿下不必放在心上。”长胡子躬身说道。 „Hehe, including Bi people who the empress dowagers want to use, may be more useful than your this crowd of big or small beards.” “呵呵,连皇太后都想利用的鄙民,可比你们这群大小胡子有用多啦。” „Cannot share sorrow for Your Highness, feudal official and other heinous crimes.” The long beard looks like at the same time mysterious mirror, can always demonstrate immediately appearance that the princess wants to see. “不能替殿下分忧,臣等罪该万死。”长胡子就像是一面神奇的镜子,总能立刻显示出公主想看到的模样。 At this time outside some people of circulars, old beard. 这时外面有人通报,老胡子到了。 The old beard is not quite actually old, is similar to the princess age, is only the facial expression is anxious, the beard and hair loses in handling, the whole person appears cannot withstand thinly and pale, particularly his clothes, all aides are the purple clothes, only then his ash, even more goes down in the world invisible. 老胡子其实并不太老,与公主年纪相仿,只是神情焦虑,须发失于打理,整个人显得憔悴不堪,尤其是他的衣裳,所有侍从都是紫衣,只有他一身灰,越发落魄无形。 He already was not favored obviously, the half step rushes to the middle, kneels down urgently, both hands are well-grounded, the whole person almost lies on the ground, said excitedly: „Old beard meets Your Highness, must hoodwink to summon......” 他显然早已不受宠幸,小步跑到中间,急迫地跪下,双手着地,整个人几乎趴在地上,激动地说:“老胡子叩见殿下,得蒙传召……” „Shut up.” The princess coldly orders saying that perhaps is receives „the Western Region person” the influence, she was usually more direct. “闭嘴。”公主冷冷地命令道,或许是受到“西域人”的影响,她比平时更直接了。 The old beard does not make a sound, eyelid lifts, saw that several steps beside in the grounds sets upright a handle shining blade unexpectedly, in the heart is startling greatly, the back trembles like the dog. 老胡子不吱声了,眼皮抬起,看到几步之外的地面上竟然竖着一柄明晃晃的刀,心中大骇,后背像狗一样发起抖来。 „Says you at the matter that Western Region was again.” The princess orders saying that the vision stops on the Gu Shenwei face. “把你在西域做的事情再说一遍。”公主命令道,目光停在顾慎为脸上。 „Old beard is guilty, old beard damn......” “老胡子有罪,老胡子该死……” Long beard of standing on one side has accurately comprehended princess's intention, reprimanded fierce: „Your Highness has not made you speak these idle talk, you initially at the disloyal matter that Western Region made, confessed truthfully then.” 站在一边的长胡子准确领会了公主的意图,厉声斥道:“殿下没让你说这些废话,把你当初在西域做出的不忠之事,如实供述即可。” „Is.” The forehead of old beard knocks in the icy cold ground, bang bang the straight sound, then he slightly very draws out the body, flutters saying: „Me several years ago to the princess has made declaration, I followed orders to go to Western Region Jade City at that time, 2200 hires Golden Roc Killer(s) to eradicate Gu Clan entire family six by the gold, I and I have disappointed the trust of Your Highness, private buckle 1200 gold......” “是是。”老胡子的额头磕在冰凉的地面上,砰砰直响,然后他稍稍挺起身子,颤声说道:“就像我几年前向公主做过的供述,我当时奉命前往西域璧玉城,以黄金2200雇请金鹏杀手铲除顾氏全家六口,我、我辜负了殿下的信任,私扣1200黄金……” „Said Golden Roc Castle.” The princess breaks to confess, trivial 1200 gold are not the contents that she cares about. “说金鹏堡。”公主打断供述,区区1200黄金不是她关心的内容。 „Is, I relate on Golden Roc Castle through north city Meng, but they have not received the business immediately, lets me and other letters, I think to disburse money insufficiently, but the Meng Family person told me, Golden Roc Castle was not everybody kills, Gu Lun was Central Plains to Shi official, they are not willing to touch with the hand. Therefore I want to treat in Jade City again for several days, waits for Central Plains to supervise the city officers to assume the post, the matter from may be easily solved. Has not thought of two days later Golden Roc Castle informs me to pay the commission, said that was the business becomes. I and I have doubts very much, asked around the reason, knows that the strictness and strict in Changshi palace also sent, that was the reason of Golden Roc Castle change idea.” “是是,我通过北城孟氏联系上金鹏堡,可他们并没有马上接下生意,让我等信,我以为出钱不够,可是孟家的人告诉我,金鹏堡并非人人都杀,顾仑是中原致仕官员,他们不愿意沾手。于是我就想在璧玉城再待几天,等中原督城官到任,事情自可迎刃而解。没想到两天之后金鹏堡通知我交佣金,说是生意成了。我、我很疑惑,到处打听原因,才知道宫中的严、严常侍也派人来了,那才是金鹏堡改变主意的原因。” „But after you returned to Capital, in the past was how to say to Your Highness?” The long beard has acted as the inquisitionist. “可你当年返京之后是怎么对殿下说的？”长胡子充当了审讯者。 „I and I said that the duty successfully was accomplished, conceals strict Changshi to send for the incident, violated the receiving fraudulently merit the capital crime.” “我、我说任务顺利完成,隐瞒了严常侍派人一事,犯下冒领功劳的死罪。” Although had already made the declaration, old beard or streaming with sweat.. 虽然早就做过供述,老胡子还是汗如雨下。。 „Did you satisfy?” The princess asked that she did not have any name to Gu Shenwei, from beginning to end only called „you”. “你满意了吗？”公主问道,她对顾慎为还没有任何称呼,从始至终只称“你”。 Gu Shenwei circles to the old beard left side, asked: „Are you juniors in east of the river Luo Family village?” 顾慎为绕到老胡子左侧,问道:“你是河东骆家庄的子弟？” The old beard raised the head surprisedly, he loses power before the princess, therefore is unable to know that who today's guest is, does not know should oneself answer the issue. 老胡子惊讶地抬起头,他在公主面前失势,因此无从得知今天的客人是谁,更不知道自己该不该回答问题。 „To be honest.” The long beard reprimanded, a little non- sentiment did not hope. “说实话。”长胡子斥道,有点不情不愿。 „Yes.” The long beard regards princess's meaning this, immediately lowered the head, „my name is Luo, call the Luo Ping base, Luo Family master Luo Ping is my elder brother......” “是。”长胡子将这当成公主的意思,马上低下头,“我姓骆,叫骆平基,骆家主人骆平诺是我兄长……” „Luo Pingying?” Gu Shenwei asked suddenly. “骆平英呢？”顾慎为突然问道。 The old beard Luo Ping base was startled, raised the head once more, finally had guessed correctly the status of guest, „you and are you Western Region Dragon King, the Gu Lun son?” 老胡子骆平基又被惊到,再次抬起头来,终于猜到了客人的身份,“你、你是西域龙王,顾仑的儿子？” The princess stretches the body forward to forward, the interest increases, „who is Luo Pingying? How I have not heard.” 公主探身向前,兴趣大增,“骆平英是谁？我怎么没听说过。” Replied that the person of issue is not the old beard Luo Ping base, but is the long beard, „Luo Pingying is the Luo Family hidden guest, year to year closes up exercises martial arts, little comes out to take a walk, is the Luo Family person also has does not know his.” 回答问题的人不是老胡子骆平基,而是长胡子,“骆平英是骆家隐客,常年闭关练功,很少出来走动,就是骆家人也有不知道他的。” Gu Shenwei understood a matter, princess person surnamed Luo are many, in the legend and she „is much better” the Luo Family person probably is this long beard. 顾慎为明白了一件事,公主身边姓骆的人不少,传说中与她“好得过头”的骆家人大概就是这位长胡子。 The princess waves, hinting Gu Shenwei can continue to ask. 公主挥挥手,示意顾慎为可以继续问下去。 „Jianghu passed on a message Luo Pingying martial arts to be very good.” Gu Shenwei said, has not asked that in his beard eye sees a relaxedness from a long-range point of view. “江湖传言骆平英武功很好。”顾慎为说,没有发问,他从长胡子眼中看到一丝轻松。 The Luo Family village and princess walk very nearly, but did not have nearly to the everything public degree. 骆家庄与公主走得很近,但是还没近到事事公开的程度。 „This is I wants to know.” Gu Shenwei pulls up the slender blade to take back in the sheath, „half double-hour crossed, my this said goodbye.” “这就是我想知道的。”顾慎为拔起狭刀收回鞘内,“半个时辰已过,我这就告辞。” The princess original only gives the Gu Shenwei half double-hour meeting time, at this time was surprised, „do these aging past events have what relations with the Imperial Palace assassination?” 公主原定只给顾慎为半个时辰会面时间,这时却感到意外,“这些陈年往事跟皇宫暗杀有何关系？” „My no comment.” Gu Shenwei turns around to go out of the leaning hall. “恕我无可奉告。”顾慎为转身走出偏厅。 The form of guest just disappeared, the long beard goes forward to say immediately: „Your Highness, Dragon King this person is very dangerous, Luo Family momentarily is willing to be Your Highness except the cause of disaster.” 客人的身影刚刚消失,长胡子立刻上前一步说道:“殿下,龙王这个人很危险,骆家随时愿意为殿下除去祸根。” The princess has not heard the words of aide likely, sits is motionless there, then thought aloud in a soft voice: „He wants to revenge, has not argued for father Gu Lun-- he must kill me, whether or not I send for employing Killer(s), he must kill me.” 公主像是没听到侍从的话,坐在那里一动不动,然后轻声自言自语:“他想报仇,却没有替父亲顾仑争辩——他要杀我,不管是不是我派人雇用杀手,他都要杀我。” Gu Shenwei and Su Ai leave prince consort Ma Residence together, Pang Jing delivers to the entrance, unemotionally, probably he is only a servant in this mansion. 顾慎为与苏蔼一同离开驸马府,庞靖送到大门口,面无表情,好像他只是这府里的一名奴仆。 „Tomorrow I must see often wait on Yan Qin.” Gu Shenwei set the request. “明天我要见中常侍严沁。”顾慎为提出要求。 „Yan Qin is not the imperial clan member, my this sect Zhengqing cannot manage him.” “严沁并非宗室成员,我这个宗正卿管不到他。” „You can persuade the princess, naturally can also persuade Yan Qin.” Gu Shenwei turns around, starts to consider desolate king tonight's invitation, after going down the stair, he said to Su Ai: „Isn't the Gu Family old dwelling far from here, is interested in having a look?” “你能劝服公主,自然也能说动严沁。”顾慎为转身,开始考虑萧王今晚的宴请,走下台阶之后,他对苏蔼说:“顾家老宅离这里不远,有兴趣去看看吗？” Su Ai nods again and again, he wants to understand Dragon King all urgently.( To be continued.) 苏蔼连连点头,他迫切地想要了解龙王的一切。(未完待续。)
