The coroner and the concubine doctor pursue the murderer in the Dali Temple

Xiao Muyu was young at the time, and the enthronement and dethronement should not have had much impact on him, but he could not resist the instigation of some people with ulterior motives.

Xiao Muyu had always regarded Xiao Zhongyuan as his younger brother, but as he grew older, he heard more and more rumors. Whenever people in the palace saw him, they would point fingers at him. Some people sympathized with him, some people gloated over his misfortune. All kinds of rumors flew into Xiao Muyu's ears, and he became more and more silent.

When he was fifteen, Xiao Muyu asked for permission from Xiao Ran to grant him a fiefdom as he wanted to leave the palace.

Xiao Ran naturally knew the reason. Seeing that Xiao Muyu was in a difficult situation and it was caused by his own fault, he felt guilty and agreed to his request immediately. He allocated a city in southern Xinjiang to Xiao Muyu as a fiefdom and let him leave the palace.

After Xiao Muyu left the palace, he had not returned to the capital for more than ten years, and the retired emperor had grown up gradually. However, one day, he suddenly returned to the capital and found the retired emperor Xiao Zhongyuan who was out for a trip at the time.

Xiao Zhongyuan was very happy to see him. His brother, whom he had not seen for many years, had returned. Xiao Zhongyuan was about to report to Xiao Ran and ask him to return to the palace for a reunion. However, Xiao Muyu stopped Xiao Zhongyuan, took him to the restaurant, and told him straight away that Xiao Zhongyuan should return the throne to him.

Xiao Zhongyuan was stunned at the time. He was Xiao Ran's only biological son. After he was born, no concubine had ever become pregnant. Xiao Muyu took advantage of this and said that he was not Xiao Ran's biological son.

Xiao Muyu believed that he was the legitimate heir of the Xiao family, and that Xiao Zhongyuan must be an illegitimate child who could not be seen in public. Otherwise, why did other concubines not conceive, but he did? Although he was favored now, once the matter was exposed, I was afraid that the only outcome would be death.

Xiao Zhongyuan was shocked by the news. He didn't know how he got back to the palace. After returning, he went to see his mother and asked about his life experience. Concubine Liang immediately called Xiao Ran and said to Xiao Zhongyuan, "Do you think His Majesty didn't doubt it at the beginning? His Majesty has used various methods to verify it, and asked the imperial physician to check his body. He is 100% sure that you are His Majesty's biological son, the only one."

Xiao Ran also confirmed what Concubine Liang said, and Xiao Zhongyuan was relieved. If he was really an illegitimate child, how could Concubine Liang dare to find Xiao Ran?

Xiao Ran asked him who spread the rumor. Xiao Zhongyuan didn't want Xiao Muyu to get into trouble, so he didn't give him away. However, Xiao Ran was the king of a country, and it wouldn't take much effort for him to find out the truth.

Xiao Ran sent someone to warn Xiao Muyu to return to his fiefdom and not to enter the capital without an imperial edict.

After this incident, Xiao Muyu left the capital, and Xiao Zhongyuan never saw him again until he succeeded to the throne.

Later, the Emperor-Slaying Star organization appeared. Xiao Zhongyuan didn't take it seriously at first, thinking it was just a trick played by some people in the folks who wanted to be emperor. But unexpectedly, it got more and more intense, and even a formation of "All Hearts Return to One" appeared. They also sent people to sneak into the palace and poison him, clearly wanting to kill him.

So he sent the then King of Zhao, now Emperor Sui Ming, to destroy the Emperor Star.

The process was just as Master Zhihan said, but the difference was that when King Zhao finally killed the wizard, he met Xiao Muyu.

Xiao Muyu was already very crazy at the time. He said fiercely to King Zhao, "Go back and tell Xiao Zhongyuan that he stole my throne and sits on my country. Even if I die, your lineage will not be able to sit on this stolen country. The wizard said that in fifty years, there will be successors who will carry on my last wish. I am waiting to see how you are pulled off the throne and die without a burial place."

King Zhao was also furious at the time. He said angrily: "Since you said you will come after me, I will kill all nine of your clans and see who will come to fulfill your last wish."

King Zhao ordered all those present to keep the secret, and he only reported it to Xiao Zhongyuan. Xiao Zhongyuan scolded him for killing innocent people, but King Zhao said that these people were traitors and should be executed. Now that things had come to this, Xiao Zhongyuan could only turn the page on the matter. No one else knew about Xiao Muyu's existence. Only Xiao Zhongyuan, in his dreams at midnight, sighed for Xiao Muyu, who was controlled by an obsession all his life.

After the story was told, Xiao Mubei and Chu Yunxi breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. Chu Yunxi said, "I knew that Yuan Rubai's words could not be trusted. It seems that Xiao Muyu has successfully brainwashed the people of Emperor Slaying Star. They all think that Xiao Muyu is the legitimate one and that you, my great grandfather, stole the throne."

Xiao Zhongyuan smiled, "We don't care what others think. As long as the people live and work in peace and prosperity, it doesn't matter who is on the throne."

Xiao Mubei stood up and said, "Grandfather, we understand the whole story. By the way, Yuan Rubai said that they used the hearts of dead people to set up the Ten Thousand Hearts Returning to One Array. Is that true?"

"You may need to ask your father about this matter. I have not left the palace, and many things were done by your father."

Xiao Mubei nodded, "Then we have nothing to ask, Grandfather, you have a good rest, Yunxi and I will leave first."

Xiao Zhongyuan ordered his eunuch to see the two men off, while he himself was absorbed in looking at a painting in ink in the room.

A picture emerged in my mind, two children playing together, an older child and a smaller one, following the older child like a follower.

"Brother, brother, your painting is so beautiful. Can you give it to me? I want to hang it in my room and look at it every day."

"Okay, considering your honesty, I will send you there reluctantly."

The little one took it happily and begged his mother to hang the painting in the room. In his little head, he wondered why his brother was so talented.

At that time, there were no children of the same age in the palace to play with, so he could only follow his brother every day, watching him learn music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and watching him put the scenery he saw on paper. In his little heart, his brother was the most powerful person.

It's a pity that one wrong decision ruined a person's life.

Xiao Mubei and Chu Yunxi left the palace. It was already completely dark. Chu Yunxi suggested asking her second brother to go to Ruyun Tower for dinner together. It was a rare free night and her second brother had not tasted his senior brother's cooking yet.

Xiao Mubei naturally had no objection, and ordered Bai Yu to call for help. The two of them went directly to Ruyun Tower. On the way, Chu Yunxi said, "The people in the Sun Mansion will be executed tomorrow. Your Majesty, can I ask you for a favor?"

Xiao Mubei said: "Between you and me, what are you talking about helping each other?"

Chu Yunxi smiled, held Xiao Mubei's hand, and said, "I want to take in another maid. Does the prince agree?"

Xiao Mubei didn't need Chu Yunxi to say too much, he already understood what she meant and nodded, "Leave Sun Shaozhen to me. After all, she is innocent. Since you promised Yunniang, I will naturally help you save her."
