clean

Emperor Jing lowered his eyes and reclined on the soft bed behind the hall.

In front of him are Lu Yu standing with his hands behind his back, and his most beloved Chang Fu.The prince and other courtiers were driven to the side hall, and he was the only one left in the huge main hall.

"Eunuch Changfu, read this imperial decree." Lu Yu smiled and handed Changfu an imperial decree, "It saves time."

Eunuch Changfu tremblingly took the imperial edict and opened it tremblingly, but he just glanced at it, then raised his head in shock: "This..."

The seal in the imperial decree is nothing else but the announcement of Lu Yu's ascension to the throne.

"Read it."

Lu Yu said casually.

Following Chang Fu's last words, a gleaming knife was pulled out, a silver light flashed, and a wrist was chopped off to the ground.

Immediately, Chang Fu's heart-wrenching screams sounded from Jiangyang Palace, followed by Lu Yu's loud laughter.

After Granny Yaotai finished speaking, she thought that Si He would be at a loss, or even unbelievable.

However, Si He just turned around and said indifferently: "That's all?"

"Yes..." Granny Yaotai was a little startled, "You already knew?"

"No." Si He lowered his eyes and said softly: "But I am a magician, but my parents are ordinary people, and there is no magician in my family. I have always felt a little strange, but I dare not ask .”

"Your grandfather and I were friends in the early years." Yaotai Granny sighed and said: "At the beginning when he was driven to a dead end by Qiguo, King Wen suspected that he had the intention of treason, so he sent people to hunt and kill him and his wife, if it wasn't for your grandfather I tried my best to protect your father and your mother, and you are no longer what you are today."

Si He tilted his head and said with a smile: "But no matter how much Master says, how can I trust you?"

"Master, you said that you and my grandfather are on good terms, and neither of us even know the name of my grandfather. Moreover, Master is just a one-sided statement now. What evidence is there?"

"Of course there is evidence." Granny Yaotai raised her eyebrows slightly, and said loudly, "Ah Yuan, bring someone in—"

An old woman was led into the house by Jun Yuan, Si He's eyes moved slightly, and then he stood up abruptly.

"Aunt Xuan!"

The person who came was Xuan Gu from Yunxiao Mountain Villa. Si He didn't care that the wound was still hurting, so he hurried to Xuan Gu and asked eagerly, "Xuan Gu! My mother, my father, eldest sister and second brother are all okay. !"

Xuan Gu glanced at Granny Yaotai in embarrassment, and Si He said indifferently: "Master, can you let me have a word or two with Xuan Gu first."

Granny Yaotai nodded slightly, "Of course, I'm not unreasonable, so let's talk first."

After Yaotai's mother-in-law closed the door, Si He slumped down on the chair as if his energy had been drained.

Although he is not very familiar with Xuan Gu, Xuan Gu is just an elderly and kind mother to him, but at this moment, Xuan Gu is like his relatives.

It is the only channel for him to know the outside world.

"Young master, don't worry," Xuan Gu comforted, "Madam is fine in the villa, and the second young master is also recuperating in the villa with Mrs. Si, but..." She paused, then frowned and said: "It's just the princess... listen Said to be locked up in Huanxi Palace."

"Huanxi Palace...I see..." Si He sighed, "I will go and rescue Sister Lu, how is the prince doing now?"

"Now that the new emperor has ascended the throne, the year has been changed. Originally, the former prince should be exiled, but perhaps the new emperor is afraid of the people's hearts, and just put the prince in prison. I am afraid that he will never see him again."

Crown Prince...Emperor Jing...

All of this was intertwined and pieced together in Si He's mind.

Si He frowned and asked hastily: "Where is Master Shu? Did he say anything?"

"This..." Xuan Gu shook her head, "Sorcerers have always been a secret in the palace, and we and the common people don't know about it."

Seeing that Si He was living under surveillance like a prisoner, Xuan Gu asked in a low voice, "I heard that young master, you are a magician, why do you still look at them?"

"Since I woke up, my right hand has no strength." Si He said lightly.Only then did Xuan Gu realize that Si He's right hand was hanging limply by his side, as if it had been broken, and lay limply aside.

"Besides, my mother-in-law is a teacher for a day, and a teacher for life. Even if I can paint thousands of horses, I don't want to fight her." Si He smiled, very tired, "Maybe it will be fine in a few days." stop."

He didn't tell Xuangu that his right hand was insensible, it was Yaotai's mother-in-law's method, the purpose was to keep him from leaving the room.

Xuan Gu was just a woman, she wiped her tears again when she saw this, "Young master, you have suffered."

"Xuangu, don't worry about me." Si He smiled gently, and then he said slowly: "Master invited you here today, I think it is for you to be a witness, and you will tell everything you know, Tell me all about it.”

……

Ji Wanghuai fell ill again.

Maids and servants who came in and out shuttled through the palace, and the formerly quiet Prince Yu's mansion became bustling again because of Ji Wanghuai's illness.

The imperial physician said that this is different from cold poison.

It's heart disease.

No one could save him but himself.

Yu Jiangjiuqing naturally knew the reasons for all this, but they looked at each other, each seeing the struggle in the other's eyes.

Let's not talk about this matter.

"Jiuqing, Yu Jiang!" Prince Ji Qingyan walked in from outside the mansion, and said eagerly: "You usually get close to your lord, what is the reason for his heart trouble?"

However, the two just lowered their heads and remained silent.

"Why don't you talk?" Ji Qing said anxiously, "Jiuqing! You are the most talkative person on weekdays. Why don't you talk now, are you dumb?"

"Your Highness." It was Yu Jiang who spoke first. He licked his lips and said cautiously: "This subordinate knows a method that may make the prince feel better."

"Say!"

"It's just that I have to go to Chengguo first."

……

After Si He heard everything Xuan Gu said, he remained silent for a long time.

After waiting for a long time, he sighed and said in a low voice, "So, that's really the case."

"Young master, Mrs. Mu once saved my life, and I will raise you up in a sense of reason. It's just that my wife had a miscarriage that day, the child died, and the adults were not around, so I came up with this idea."

Xuan Gu started to cry when she got excited, "Little Young Master, don't blame Madam, Madam has always regarded you as her own, and she loves your son the most."

"I know, Aunt Xuan." Si He's face turned pale. At first, when Grandma Yaotai said those words, although his face was calm, he still hoped for a little luck in his heart.

However, he could find clues to everything Xuan Gu said in Mrs. Si's room.

According to Xuan Gu, that phoenix hairpin was placed in his baby by Twilight Lang when he was just born.At the same time, there was also a piece of jade pendant, which he had seen in Madam Si's jewelry dowry, with the word twilight on the back. When he wanted to take it for a closer look out of curiosity when he was a child, Madam Si immediately became furious.

This was the first time Mrs. Si got angry in his memory.

"One more thing." Xuan Gu sighed, and said: "Behind your ear, there is a birthmark the size of a fingernail. I can remember it correctly. Because it is not a birthmark, but your father soaked it in medicine Seal, this is the symbol of your Mu Family."

Si He pursed his lips, and asked almost tremblingly: "Before that...was it really King Qi Guowen's order to kill Mu's family?"

"This..." Xuan Gu raised her head suspiciously, before she finished speaking, the door was pushed open.

Granny Yaotai stood outside the house, said with a smile: "It's getting late, it's time for Gu Xuan to go back."

"Master," Si He got up, walked to Yaotai Granny, and said slowly, "I want to return to Chengguo."

"No." Granny Yaotai didn't even lift her eyelids, "Do you know how many people in Chengguo hate you now? Do you know how much this new emperor hates you?"

"I don't know." Si He said in a deep voice, "But Chengguo has my family."

"Family?" Granny Yaotai snorted softly, as if she had heard some funny story: "Your family members died when you were born, or they were forced to death by the father of your favorite person. Where did you come from?" family?"

"Then what does all this have to do with Master?" Si He squinted his eyes and said coldly: "I respect Master not to think I'm stupid, and to teach me skills carefully, but my respect does not mean that Master can dictate to my family. reason."

Granny Yaotai has committed two of his taboos.

One is the government office.

One is Ji Wanghuai.

Granny Yaotai frowned slightly, and quickly slapped Si He's chest with a slap. Fortunately, Si He reacted quickly, and pushed Granny Yaotai's slap back with his left hand.

"Sihe, I did all this for your own good!" Yaotai's mother-in-law trembled angrily, "Don't even think about asking Xuangu to rescue you when she returns to the villa, don't even think about it! As long as she gets out of here Yard, she won't remember everything that happened today!"

"Okay." Si He suddenly smiled, very subtly.

"Master, don't you just want me to go back to Linyuan with you? Well, if you don't let me go back to Chengguo, only Sihe's body will be left in this courtyard tomorrow morning."

"You choose."

Although he didn't know the reason why Granny Yaotai wanted to bring him back to Linyuan, but from this point of view, Granny Yaotai really didn't want him to be hurt.

In other words, he didn't want the last child of the Mu family to be harmed.

Perhaps the only thing he can use as a bargaining chip with Yaotai Granny is his broken body.

He had to find ways to send a message to Ji Wanghuai.

I am still alive.

Miss you too.

***

Emperor Jing's imperial edict was read out by Eunuch Changfu when Lu Yu went to court the next day after he returned to Mocheng.

Ren Bohou was named Dingguo Gong, Xie Ying was named the new empress, and the empress ceremony will be held the day after tomorrow.

Someone noticed that Mr. Changfu broke one of his hands, and he already had a guess in his heart, and suddenly he was dripping with cold sweat.

"King Yu! You are usurping the throne!" Among the courtiers, there were many emotional ones, and Lu Yu loved such showy people, so he could make an example of others.

"Wang Shilang is old and confused." Lu Yu said with a smile, seeming to be understanding: "If you don't understand something, don't think about it, let's talk about it in the next life."

When Wang Shilang was dragged down from the court, everyone knew that this King Yu was really not afraid of anything.

"Is there anything else you want to play?" Lu Yu wore a well-fitting dragon robe and asked with a gentle smile, "Why don't you see Mr. Si?"

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and no one dared to answer.

"Since Mr. Si is not feeling well, he will enjoy his leisure in the future, so why not go back to Si's mansion to enjoy his life from now on." Lu Yu said casually, taking off Si Pingchuan's black gauze hat directly, "Si He, the second son of the Si family, It is disrespectful to bully the emperor and disturb the emperor, remember his death, and forget the past."

The courtiers were taken aback again, thinking that Si Fu might be ransacked and exiled because of Si He.

Didn't expect the new emperor to let the Si family go so easily?

Lu Yu still felt a little guilty towards Si He, but soon, he suppressed the strange emotion in his heart.

Because now he is no longer Yu Wang.

It is the new emperor of Chengguo.

"Retreat."

Although Si He is no longer alive, Si He is not the only magician in this palace.

"Let's go to the Yongshen Palace, and I'm going to see Master Sorcerer alone."
