The bodyguard wants to get on my dragon bed

Qin Xuanlin told Zhao Ling everything that had happened recently. Zhao Ling burned the paper in his hand and smiled slightly, like an angel descending from the earth, but what he said made people feel like falling into an ice cave. "Nie Yun, first send a gift to my second brother."

"What the lord is referring to..." Nie Yun lowered his head, not looking at the holy light of his lord.

"Go to Zhao Lu next to Second Brother, he will know what to do when he sees you." Zhao Ling waved his hand, and Nie Yun took his orders.

Three days later, Mo'an County sent news to the capital——

Zhao An, the king of Chi'an, died.

When Zhao Chen heard the news, he almost couldn't stand still. He knew that his second brother's health had been bad since the battle of seizing the crown, but he didn't expect that Feng Wangcai passed away without warning these days.These days, he only cared about guarding against Zhao Ling and Qin Xuanlin, and wondered if Zhao An would also be involved in the dark, but he didn't expect the plan to wait until such news.

"How did King Chi'an die?" Zhao Chen said with a cold voice, and looked at the people from Mo'an County, but they were not from the second brother's side.

"This..." The man hesitated to say it, until Zhao Chen roared, "Tell me everything you know, if there are false words, I will surely pick out the tongues of your entire clan!"

"Your Majesty! The villain is terrified!" The man trembled and said again, "It's really...King Chi'an..." He swallowed his saliva, and seeing Zhao Chen's face turned violent, he hurriedly continued, "My lord fights!" Afterwards, I have been in poor health, and the doctor I hired couldn’t tell why. I only found out after the sudden death yesterday that the prince has been poisoned since the war, and the doctor was bribed by them. The poor prince was seriously ill and couldn’t think about it. It's weird, otherwise it wouldn't be here!"

"What?!" Zhao Chen was shocked. Who was so bold to openly poison the royal family, "Where are the people around King Chi'an? No one has noticed this?"

"Your Majesty... the most terrifying thing is this... the man next to King Chi'an, named Zhaolu, after King Chi'an died, he admitted that the poison was all caused by him, and he was responsible for everything. People's planning, after finishing speaking, they also followed..."

"What..." Zhao Chen fell down on the dragon chair in disbelief.Zhao Lu followed his second brother since he was a child, and the relationship between them was no less than the relationship between Zhao Chen and Xiao Qi. Now that he suddenly heard this news, Zhao Chen's heart sank.Is the royal relationship really that weak...

Zhao Chen said: "Do you know what poison killed King Chi'an?"

"This... the villain only knows that no one can find out what the poison is. It is said that it is a poison from Nanqu."

"Nanqu..." Zhao Chen murmured.Nanqu and Huiyang have never had much intersection, neither war nor contact, everyone in Nanqu is very mysterious, only know that this place is rich in exotic flowers and herbs, and because of this, the poison of Nanqu is unparalleled in the world .

But how could it be possible for Zhaolu to know the people in Nanqu and get such a rare poison? If there is no help from others, Zhao Chen definitely cannot believe it, and no one needs to think about the mastermind behind this scene.Zhao Ling was also really cruel. Although he was not born of the same mother, he was a brother who grew up since childhood. How could he kill him so mercilessly.What puzzled Zhao Chen the most was why Zhao Lu betrayed Zhao An. Zhao An really trusted him completely!

"Xiao Qi, check, whoever Zhaolu came into contact with after the war, especially those related to Qingling Palace, don't let anyone go." Zhao Chen gripped the armrest tightly, full of emotion.Although his relationship with Zhao An is not close, Zhao An still took on the role of elder brother when he was young. He would pretend to catch Zhao Chen unintentionally when he climbed a tree and fell down, and also When Zhao Chen is punished by his husband, he will remind him mockingly.Only later, when they grew up, everything changed.

After the death of the eldest prince, the relationship between the three remaining brothers became even more tense, as if they were not close brothers at all, but enemies that they should kill with their own hands.Even so, Zhao An's death was so sudden that Zhao Chen didn't know how to accept it calmly.

In a day's work, Xiao Qi found some clues, "Before Zhao Lu was alive, he told the people in the mansion that he had a family. His Majesty also knew that Zhao Lu was an orphan. Now it is obviously strange to say that he has a family. The minister went to check his private house outside the mansion and found a pair of recently damaged corpses, maybe this is the family he was referring to."

Although it is impossible to prove that Zhaolu and King Qingling colluded, Zhao Chen has been able to guess the whole picture of the matter.Presumably it was King Qingling who claimed to have found his parents in order to threaten Zhaolu to betray King Chi'an, but I don't know, when Zhaolu poisoned his former master, did he ever think of Zhao An's treatment of him for a moment? good.Zhao Chen sighed, "Xiao Qi, let's go for a walk with me."

Xiao Qi knew that Zhao Chen was in a bad mood. Zhao Chen never regarded Zhao An and Zhao Ling as enemies. Even if Zhao Ling was fighting with him for the throne, Zhao Chen couldn't have killed Zhao Ling directly. Ling's coldness must have hurt my heart.

Zhao Chen looked at the stone bench in the Imperial Garden. Once upon a time, the four of them gathered around here to argue with the mother for cakes. He stared blankly at the willow branches fluttering beside him, and sat on the stone bench. Just like when they were young, but now, there are only the last two of their brothers left. "Xiao Qi, if it was up to you to choose, would you betray me for your parents' lives?" Zhao Chen didn't look at Xiao Qi, but just stared into the distance blankly, Xiao Qi knew that no matter how he answered, Zhao Chen would be impossible Hurting him in the name of this.

"There is no such possibility. I have no father or mother." Xiao Qi stood behind Zhao Chen and said softly.Zhao Chen smiled slightly, "If one day they say they have found your relatives, what will you do then?"

Xiao Qi said: "Your Majesty will tell him that this person is not a relative of my minister, but your majesty is the only relative of my minister."

"You are used to please me." Zhao Chen shook his head helplessly, and then lay down on the stone table scorched by the sun. After a long time, he said sadly, "Xiao Qi, tell me, this emperor The feelings in the city, how much is true, how much is false? The father is gone, the eldest brother is gone, the second brother is gone, how many lives will be taken here before it will stop..."

"Your Majesty shouldn't think about these things. The struggle for the throne will make people lose their minds. From the moment they start fighting, they are no longer brothers that His Majesty knows well. Born in the royal family, this is something His Majesty cannot choose. "

Zhao Chen closed his eyes, the summer sun shone on him, it should have been very warm, but Zhao Chen only felt chills all over his body, "If one day, I will be the one who dies..." I haven't finished speaking yet. Then Xiao Qi interrupted, "Your Majesty!" Zhao Chen was taken aback, and smiled wryly, "That's all, that's all..."

Xiao Qi watched Zhao Chen's trembling shoulders gradually calm down, and his breathing became even. He looked up and saw Zhao Chen's face exposed to the sun. Maybe the sun was too glaring, and his pretty brows slightly frowned. Wrinkled.Xiao Qi took a few steps forward, the shadow cast by his broad shoulders merged Zhao Chen's entire head into it, blocking all the sunlight for him.

Looking at Zhao Chen's defenseless sleeping face, there were even tears in the corners of his eyes. Zhao Chen rarely shed tears, so he must be very sad.Xiao Qi raised his hand almost uncontrollably, trying to wipe away the teardrops from the corners of his eyes, but stopped when he approached Zhao Chen's face.He bit his lower lip tightly, frowned and beat his heart. What is he doing!

He is a subject of His Majesty, he shouldn't and can't do such an overstepping thing.

The wind came from nowhere and messed up Xiao Qi's long hair. He narrowed his eyes and took two steps closer to shield Zhao Chen from the wind.The gust of wind swept down a lot of yellowish willow leaves, crackling in the air.Zhao Chen's hair also curled up with a fallen leaf, no matter how the wind blew, it just couldn't fall.

Xiao Qi's heart tightened, maybe it was because of selfishness, he raised his hand and warned himself, this is just helping His Majesty, it's nothing.But when his fingertips touched Zhao Chen's soft hair, his heart was numb as if someone had gently stroked it with a feather.Unable to take it off, he trembled his fingertips and rolled Zhao Chen's hair, but it couldn't be as he wanted. The fingertip of his little finger brushed Zhao Chen's cheek, and the slightly rough touch made Zhao Chen feel uncomfortable. Unconsciously let out a vibrato.

The blood all over Xiao Qi's body rushed to one place. He blushed and stopped all movements in his hands. A few strands of hair on his fingertips slipped down between his fingers. The sensitivity from his fingers made him almost uncontrollable. Shiver, Your Majesty is...his poison.Looking at Zhao Chen's face, Xiao Qi seemed to be bewitched, and his hand slowly dropped until it covered Zhao Chen's cheek.

His skin is extremely delicate and fair, in stark contrast to Xiao Qi's wheat-colored skin.Xiao Qi had practiced martial arts for many years, and his palms were mostly hard calluses. He didn't dare to move an inch. Looking at Zhao Chen's trembling eyelashes, his heart moved slightly. He raised his little finger and played with Zhao Chen's slender eyelashes with his fingertips.

It would be great if this kind of time could be longer, he only indulged this time, really just this time... Xiao Qi closed her eyes, but suddenly heard a voice from beside her——

"What are you doing."
