Soft-boned beauty, isn't he fragrant?

Images appeared in Xiao Qi's mind, all of which were related to his father, but in the end they all ended up with a disappointed cold face and a turned back. There is hatred, but also anticipation and strong unwillingness.

But no matter what, the blood relationship can't be escaped. Remembering the last time we met, he looked very ill, and he couldn't help feeling flustered, and hurriedly asked:

"Is there any doubt about the cause of father's death? He has been ill for so long, I never thought... Even if there was, it shouldn't have anything to do with the emperor's brother. He has been doted on since he was a child. It has been announced to the world that he has been sealed as the prince of the supervisory country, so what else is there to do?"

"Although there is no conclusive evidence, we did come to this conclusion after many years of investigation. Your lord was still young at that time, and you rarely entered the palace outside the palace, so you didn't know about it.

Although the first emperor's illness was serious, it was not so serious that he could not continue. At least the Tai Hospital had judged that he could survive the beginning of the second year, but it turned out...the medical records in the last few days were also somewhat suspicious. Specifically, I will tell you in detail later. "

The former emperor Xiao Min suffered an arrow injury to his lungs when he was fighting on horseback in his early years, which caused him to suffer from coughing and wheezing every autumn. He began to cough up blood in the spring of the 23rd year of Yuan Dynasty, and he continued to raise him until the end of the year without any improvement. He passed away in mid-winter at the age of forty-two.

That year, Xiao Zhi was 21 years old, and he was sixteen.

The reason why Xiao Qi never thought about the cause of his father's death was that everything about Xiao Zhi's succession to the throne was a matter of course. Saying that, it was like a blow to the head, and some blood surged up in an instant, causing her face to blush.

"Then what is his purpose for doing this, just to become the emperor a few months earlier? I don't believe it... Besides, it's been a long time, but you know so clearly, who are we in your mouth?"

What he said was a little strange, Chu Gui couldn't help but mutter in his heart, this is his subordinate, what about you and us, why does it sound like there is some suspicion.

"The emperor sent a deputy commander to Zhijinwei this morning. You may not know the reason?"

After Ruan Jixing finished speaking, he quickly glanced at Chu Gui, "Although the assassination case of Shangyuan Festival failed to catch the assassin, Director Cui already had suspicions after checking the roster of the palace, and Mr. Chu's coincidence of Yu Jie On the second day after that, you can't afford to be ill again, and if you hide your strength and bide your time, you may not be able to achieve the goal of becoming a virtuous king.

The situation has come to this point, even if there is still no certainty, the truth that should be told to you still needs to be fully explained, lord, the nobleman is already waiting outside the mansion, and everything will be clear when you meet him. "

To say that the biggest blow to Xiao Qi at this moment is of course that he suddenly heard that the cause of the late emperor's death was suspicious, but his confidant who had been relying on him for almost ten years suddenly showed another appearance, even if this person was thinking on his side, There is still some discomfort in my heart.

But since the so-called nobleman has come to the door, he will naturally not refuse the door, he will know whether it is a person or a ghost at the first sight, so he has to settle down and meet this distinguished guest for a while.

Ruan Jixing got up and went out of the study to lead the way. Although Xiao Qi was still sitting upright, seemingly calm and composed, the clenched fists on his knees still betrayed his inner tension.

Chu Gui covered his palms, kneading and spreading the opponent's fists, "Just wait and see, no matter what the situation is, I will always be by your side."

Xiao Qi still didn't speak, and clenched the upper one tightly with his backhand.

The person behind Ruan Jixing was dressed in black, and his figure was quite tall. When he lifted the curtain and left, Xiao Qi's calmness suddenly became a little uncontrollable, and he called out in a voice: "Uncle?"

This person Chu Gui also met once at the Empress Dowager's birthday, it was Xiao Yan, the Zongzheng Lord of the Xiao royal family, and the direct grandfather of his cheap disciple Xiao Yuan.

Xiao Yan found a seat on his own and sat down, Ruan Jixing stood behind him, Wuming also showed up on his own initiative, and respectfully took Mu Li from the opponent's hand. For a moment, Chu Gui felt that Xiao Qi's palm was squeezed even tighter. tight.

The Mr. Zongzheng, who seemed to be in his forties, seemed to understand what he was thinking at this time, so he clicked to understand: "Since I have decided to tell you the truth, there is no need to hide it. Ji Xing and Wuming are indeed both I sent it to you, so, regardless of other things, you should know that I have no malice towards you."

Although the words are correct, but since he was a child, he has been used to this cold face, all kinds of sarcasm and neglect, and suddenly turned into such an intimate appearance, which really made Xiao Qi a little incapable of accepting it. He said with a little sarcasm:

"Before I left the palace and established the mansion, Wuming came to my side. It seems that after all these years, Tang Bo knows everything about me like the back of his hand?"

After saying this, Chu Gui also understood Xiao Qi's mood at the moment, whether he had good intentions or malicious intentions, the purpose of protection or other things, he had been hiding in the dark for such a long time, observing him, manipulating the closest people around him, This feeling really makes people feel chills from the bottom of their hearts.

Xiao Yan: "You don't have to think about it too much. Although I sent people, they don't have much contact with me except to inform me at an emergency. They are not betrayers. The reason why they respect me so much is that Ji Xing, I once saved his father's life, and to pay off his father's debt, I entered your Prince An's Mansion to plan for you, but Wuming is even simpler, his surname is Xiao, and it is only natural that he be polite to me, the patriarch."

"You...you are also surnamed Xiao? Why do you keep saying that you don't have a name, so you just call yourself Wuming?" Xiao Qi questioned Wuming in disbelief.

It was Xiao Yan who answered: "He didn't lie to you, the offshoot of the hidden vein is destined to be someone else's shadow from birth, and doesn't need a name."

An extremely simple sentence, but exuding a very uncomfortable cruel atmosphere, Chu Gui couldn't help but look at Wuming, the man covered his face with brass, and he couldn't see his expression at all, he just seemed to glance at Xiao Qi faintly, and then with Several people respectfully said: "I'll go out and watch." They disappeared in a flash.

Xiao Qi felt a little dizzy, what is the hidden vein?The timeline is getting farther and farther, the situation inside is getting more and more complicated, and the plot is getting bigger and bigger. He even has a strong premonition that the next topic will probably exceed what he knew and thought in the past, and it is more likely to be He didn't want to believe it and didn't want to know.

Picking up the teacup on the table, he really wanted to take a sip of tea, but found that it was already empty, and he didn't want to let go of Chu Gui's hand on the left, so he put it down awkwardly. After practicing for so long, he could collapse Mount Tai and not move. The sensual fake face is almost unstoppable.

Chu Gui squeezed his hands, broke free from his grasp, picked up the teapot and poured tea for him, with a gentle and careless expression, but when the teapot fell on the table, it was put down silently, and the hard marble countertop was like tofu Like slag, the porcelain pot was embedded in half without any damage.

He flashed his minions with extreme grace.

Whether it's a relative or a protector, don't bully my family Ah Weicai, otherwise, just sit and talk and go out lying down!

This action was clearly understood by everyone present. Xiao Qi looked relaxed. After glancing at him, he slowly raised the teacup and began to drink. The look of regret appeared in Ruan Jixing's eyes again. Xiao Yan said What the two of them thought together came out: "I've heard the name of wild ghosts for a long time, and the rumors are true...it's a pity."

Chu Gui didn't understand what he meant by pity for a while, but he didn't have doubts for too long, because Xiao Yan dropped the shocking words lightly.

"Your father was indeed murdered. Xiao Zhi is the most suspect, because he is not your father's blood, nor has any blood relationship with you. If the matter is exposed, it will be Tianzi No. [-]." big joke."

Xiao Qi was a little aphasic, his mind was empty, he was quiet for a while, blinked, and asked slowly: "He is not of the blood of the father? Then whose son is he? Since childhood, everyone has favored him and doted on him, is it true? Has no one questioned his life experience?"

"You are familiar with that person, Cihui Palace, Zhong Lin."

"...he...he is a eunuch!"

There was a crack in Xiao Qi's calmness, but as soon as the word eunuch came out, he immediately remembered when Zhong Lin entered the palace. It was the second year after his father left. Speaking of which, the Jiang family had completely occupied the palace. It is not certain whether a real eunuch or a fake eunuch is real.

He could only force himself to be calm and said, "Is there any evidence for what you said?"

Xiao Yan glanced at Chu Gui with some pity, and said:

"Evidence? Didn't all the evidence have been wiped out? Do you think there were only three extermination cases in Zhaoyang Mansion that year? Cangzhou, Minzhou, and Hezhou, there were a total of 26 surnames in the four continents, and nearly 4000 people died for it. Renhe Everything was completely destroyed, if I can get the proof of this matter, and your father's imperial edict is in hand, I still need to endure for so many years, and let their Jiang family show off their power and make waves?"

At this point, the Lord Zongzheng was obviously a bit angry, snorted coldly, and added, "Even if you can't kill him, you have to tear off that layer of hypocrisy in front of the world!"

Suddenly mentioning the matter of extermination of his own family, Chu Gui's heart suddenly became hostile, and he suddenly understood the pity in front of this man's head. .Just imagine, if you really got it that day, wouldn't the current situation be...

He turned his head and stared at Xiao Qi's side face, worried about his mood at the moment, but also a little ashamed to find that he felt a sense of joy and relief in his heart. If what the person in front of him said was true, then Heng Couldn't the problem between the two be easily solved?That can already be regarded as the same hatred with Zi.

"...Father still has a will?"

The astonishing news received at the moment was too much and too intense, when Xiao Qi asked this question, his voice was already slightly numb.

"Yes, when he broke the matter, he had already been ill for a long time, and he wanted to abolish Xiao Zhi's crown prince, but he suffered from lack of definite evidence.

You also know what happened later, needless to say who was responsible for the successive accidents of your brothers in front of you, they didn’t even wait for your father to clean up dissidents, in order to save your life, this That's why I had to pretend that I didn't know anything, let that bastard ascend the throne, and threw you into Liuying again. "

Xiao Qi really didn't know where to start, he could only grasp the only fallacy he knew, and tried to refute: "I entered the Liuying by myself, why did you lose it?"

Xiao Yan smiled: "A doll that doesn't even have full hair, where did you come from? Just find someone to praise you in front of you, and you go obediently. You thought that the three thousand gold you gave at that time could be exchanged for it." Do you go to Liu Fu to teach yourself? Oh, don't mention it.

Speaking of it, I was recommended to worship the mountain gate of the Clumsy Sword Sect, which was a bit beyond my expectation. It was done very well. The body forging technique of the Clumsy Sword Sect is really effective. The body is the biggest capital. Just like your father, who is full of literary and military skills, but because of his body, he has been bullied to this point... hey"

Xiao Qi couldn't help swallowing, his heart was suddenly very empty. He felt that he was a poor wretch who had no one to control and teach him since he was a child, but now things have completely gone to the other extreme. He has been closely watched, and the people around him People are sent by others, and even the things he thinks he makes decisions are induced by others.

In this short life of 25 years, how much is real and how much is false?

The turbulent waves in his heart were churning, but he heard his own voice sound calm: "Where is the edict? I want to see it."
