When Shi Yi thinks about Xianyu, someone always comes to disturb her.

"Throw him into your secret guards' prison. I don't care what means you use, just find Xie Jiu's burial place."

Lou Ding was delighted and accepted the order solemnly: "Yes, I will do my best."

King Dongshan called his servants and casually ordered:

"Place the people in this courtyard for me..." Thinking that he didn't have a suitable house outside, he frowned with a headache.

In this case, there is no need to waste effort. There are still many empty houses in the palace. Just give the order directly:

"Go back now and inform the housekeeper to clean up a yard in the palace and find a few servants to serve you wholeheartedly. If you make any mistakes again, I will twist your head off!"

The servant quickly got back to work. Now the people in the yard were his living ancestors, and he dared not offend his master at this time, otherwise his good job would really have to be done by someone else.

Prince Dongshan rushed into the palace angrily to have a talk with his brother.

The emperor was still diligently reviewing memorials at this time. When he heard that Prince Dongshan wanted to see him, he put down the brush dipped in cinnabar.

He rubbed his wrists and took the opportunity to rest for a while.

The eunuch helped the emperor to stand up and walk out of the hall.

The Emperor said to Prince Dongshan who was waiting at the door for an audience:

"Walk with me. If you have anything to say, let's talk while we walk."

Prince Dongshan followed the emperor half a step behind him, but he could not really walk side by side with the emperor.

This is the treatment that only the monarch and his subjects who have a close relationship can enjoy. The difference between the monarch and his subjects is not just talk.

After walking a few steps, the emperor still didn't hear the voice of King Dongshan. He glanced sideways and saw that his twelfth brother did not look well.

He asked with a smile on his face: "What's wrong? Have you not felt relieved after beating up Lao Si?" Lao Si, that idiot, was really good at making people angry.

When he heard that the fourth brother was beaten, he was shocked by King Dongshan's behavior for a long time. After the twelfth brother came back this time, his style of doing things changed a lot.

It seems that experiencing life and death events can indeed make people grow quickly.

Some people came up to him and tried to test him, but he was too lazy to even roll his eyes. When the clan members wanted to investigate, the emperor asked them to take charge of the matter of King Dongshan's assassination and give an explanation first.

Things happen in a first-come, first-served order, and clan members can always treat people differently based on their situation.

The fourth brother was just beaten, but they brought up the ancestral etiquette and laws to make a fuss, but the twelfth brother almost lost his life, but no one of them said a word.

It's because they see that the twelfth brother has no maternal family to protect him, so they favor one over the other.

With the Emperor clearly protecting the Twelfth Master, who couldn't see what was going on?

Therefore, after the fourth brother was beaten, he remained quiet and no one dared to jump out again.

King Dongshan slowly raised his head, looked at his brother, and then said slowly:

"Brother Emperor, since I came back, you haven't asked me what happened these days?" Don't you want to know?

The emperor restrained his smile, patted his youngest brother, and said:

"If you want to say it, just say it. If you don't want to say it, your royal brother won't ask." Although he also wanted to know.

"Alas! I know you must have gone through a very difficult time to survive, Old Twelve, I am really happy that you can come back."

The Twelfth Brother was one of the few royal brothers he was willing to trust.

Prince Dongshan said to the eunuchs who followed him, "Stay away, I want to talk to my brother."

The emperor waved his hand and the eunuchs stepped back. From this distance they could see them and be ready to be summoned loudly at any time, but they could not hear clearly what they were saying.

It’s a very particular distance.

Prince Dongshan walked slowly with the emperor, sighed, and then spoke:

"Brother, I don't want to recall that desperate escape now, because the people who came to kill me were all very powerful martial arts masters, so my guards and secret guards were all killed.

They tried their best, I know that.”

The emperor nodded, knowing that there was no one left alive around him.

King Dongshan said in a slightly hoarse voice: "My shadow...his name is Xie Jiu, he has been with me for many years, but I know very little about him. He doesn't like to talk and always hides in the dark.

Unexpectedly, he was the one who stayed with me until the end. He saw that there were too many assassins and it was extremely difficult for us to escape, so he wore my cloak and led most of the people away. "

Emperor: A silent and loyal subordinate.

The King of Eastern Han raised his head, looked at the sky and said:

"At that time, I thought that even if he didn't come back, I would accept it. He had already been loyal to me."

The emperor said, "Well! He is a good one." Because he knew that the shadow was dead.

King Dongshan: "Just when I was discovered by those people and was about to be hacked to death, he rushed back, exchanged injuries for my own, saved me, and dragged me along to escape.

He bled all over the ground, but we didn't have any medicine powder left. In the cave where we were hiding, my brother, I watched him bleed to death. "

The emperor remained silent, his mood also becoming heavy due to Prince Dongshan's words. The death of a loyal person always makes his master feel sad.

King Dongshan: “He said a lot to me before he died. The words he said that day were more than what he said in all the years he was by my side.

He said that if he died, he asked me to give his pension to his mother, saying that his mother had a hard life, that he wanted to be buried on the highest mountain, and that there was someone he cared about the most.

My brother, I promised him. I promised him everything. I said that as long as I am alive, I will agree to his request. "

The emperor did not understand the frustration of King Dongshan and asked in confusion:

"These things are not difficult to do. As the last wish of a loyal subordinate, you can just do it for him. Is there anything that makes it difficult for you?"

King Dongshan: "Brother, do you know who Xie Jiu's father is? He is your deputy secret guard."

Emperor: "So what? Does he dare to stop you?"

King Dongshan: "Brother, he is Xie Jiu's father. He took all the rewards that Xie Jiu risked his life for, but left Xie Jiu's mother to fend for herself in the most shabby courtyard. He has the right to deal with his son's affairs after his death, and he can also abuse his poor mother who lost her son's protection."

The emperor's face was unhappy: "How can this be absurd! How can he be so heartless!" He is such a low character, yet he actually serves as a secret guard by his side.

King Dongshan said sadly: "Because Xie Jiu was not loved by his father, his mother also suffered."

The Emperor: My twelfth brother is also not liked by our father, and so am I!

Damn it! So while Lao Twelve was angry for his subordinates, he also felt the same way and it made him feel unwilling. No wonder he was in such a low mood.

How can a son fight against his father? Even as an emperor, he can't do it!

Sometimes he felt depressed to have a father like that, not to mention the twelfth brother who had no background at all, who must have an even harder life.
