Blood and hatred

Chapter 10: Suspicion

Xiao Xiang followed to the imperial study room, but Xiaolong asked Xiao Xiang to stand outside the hall to watch while he went to the inner hall to handle government affairs.

There are two guards guarding the door.When they saw Xiao Xiang coming with the emperor, they couldn't help but think of the rumors among the maids, and couldn't help but sneak a peek.They looked at Xiao Xiang's clothes and knew that he was a first-class guard, and they were all very surprised.I secretly couldn't believe it: No way!The emperor doesn't even let the guards go now? !

Emperor Xiaolong was diligent in government and loved the people, and he was not considered a lecherous king.There are not as many beauties in the harem as there are three thousand, but there are also quite a few male pet molesters.It happened that there was no queen, even if the concubines gave birth to princes and princesses, the emperor did not love them much.All the ministers in the harem were suspicious and worried about the future of the country.But the emperor governed the country well, it was just that he was confused about his private affairs.

Seeing the two guards peeking at him, Xiao Xiang was puzzled.Just as she was about to go up to ask, a little maid came out of the palace, walked up to Xiao Xiang and bowed slightly, "Xiao Huwei, the emperor invites you to the palace."

Xiao Xiang had no choice but not to ask, followed the maids to the main hall, and was about to salute, but the emperor said first, "Don't kneel."

The attendants in the palace were stunned, and they all peeked sideways, wondering if this guard might be the man who spent the night in the emperor's bedroom last night.

But before he saw it clearly, the emperor had already ordered him to retreat, and the ladies in the palace sighed in dismay.Not long after, there were only Xiaolong and Xiao Xiang in the hall.

"Have you taken the medicine?" Xiaolong stood up from behind the desk and walked to Xiao Xiang not far away.

Xiao Xiang bowed his head and replied, "Go back to the emperor, I have already taken Li Taiyi's medicinal soup this morning."

"Hmm. Still hurts?"

Xiao Xiang raised his eyes and was stunned.The emperor speaks too concisely...

"ear."

"Ah!.......Go back to the emperor, the humble ears are fine, they won't hurt..."

"Okay. Now can you tell me what happened on your mind last night?"

Perseverance and curiosity, so that I thought about it all night.Xiaolong was a little concerned about who the guard would miss so much.Missing him to the point where he swung his sword in the middle of the night and Shuzhan felt depressed, and thinking so much that even standing in front of him as the emperor would make him dazed.

"The emperor..." Xiao Xiang didn't understand why the emperor was so persistent in asking?

Xiaolong stepped forward slowly, the two of them are only an arm's length away.Xiao Xiang wanted to retreat respectfully, but Xiaolong lightly stroked his chin, forcing Xiao Xiang to look at him.

"I'm asking you." His tone was cold, without a smile on his face.

At this moment, Xiao Xiang suddenly felt the majesty of the emperor, and felt that his revenge plan seemed to be drafted too hastily.

The emperor is not someone he can control.Not one who would obey him if he begged.

Xiao Xiang was still thinking about his answer, when someone outside the hall suddenly sent a message, "I want to report to the emperor, Taifu Hong is asking to see you."

Xiao Xiang's body froze instantly, and a trace of panic and grief flashed in his eyes.Xiaolong saw it, but didn't ask any further questions.

"Pass." Xiaolong ordered.

Xiao Xiang was in a hurry.I'm afraid that Hong Shinian will say that he is the mastermind of the prison robbery that day when he sees him.The younger brother even wanted to kill Cui Xuan, wouldn't he betray himself? !

When Hong Shinian saw Xiao Xiang standing beside the emperor, thousands of doubts flashed in his mind.Although he calmed down in an instant, the sharp-eyed Xiaolong saw something strange about Hong Shinian.

"My minister, Hong Shinian bows to the emperor, long live." Hong Shinian knelt on the ground, as if even Xiao Xiang, who was beside the emperor, also bowed down.

Just as Xiao Xiang was about to step back, Xiaolong held his hand ambiguously.

"Pingshen." So when Hong Shinian stood up again, what he saw was that the emperor was intimate with a guard.

"Your Majesty," Hong Shinian pretended not to see, but his voice could not pretend, "I have something to announce..."

"En." Xiao Long didn't let go, Xiao Xiang lowered his eyes in embarrassment.

Hong Shinian watched, he was not reconciled.He had never seen such a shy brother.Recalling back then, even in front of the head, Xiao Xiang was a fearless child, how could he lower his eyes softly like now? !

Could it be that senior brother has a side that I haven't seen, but only the emperor can see it? !

Knowing that Xiao Xiang is worried about whether Hong Shinian will betray him at the moment, he just wants to leave quickly.But because the emperor didn't let him back down, he just held on tightly, which really made Xiao Xiang lose his mind and didn't know what to do.

Seeing Hong Shinian staring at Xiao Xiang in silence for a long time, Xiaolong was even more sure that the two of them had some secret relationship.

Immediately, he coughed dryly, waking them up, "I'm listening."

"Your Majesty, this guard..."

"How? Hongqing's family, do you know each other?"

Xiaolong raised his eyebrows and asked, Xiao Xiang beside him was already trembling.

But Hong Shinian replied coldly, "Return to the emperor, I don't know this person."

Xiao Xiang was stunned, Huo Di raised his head and stared at Hong Shinian.Why? !  …

Xiao Xiang didn't understand why Hong Shinian didn't point out that he was a member of the prison robbery.How could he know how much Hong Shinian loves him.Hong Shi Nian understands that if it is pointed out that Xiao Xiang once robbed the Heavenly Prison, his life will probably be lost.Hong Shi Nian will not allow this to happen.Even if senior brother is going to die, he must die by my hands!

"Play quickly. Xiao Xiang is defenseless." Xiaolong let go and turned around, returned to the desk and sat down.

Hong Shi felt angry from the bottom of his heart, jealous that the emperor said his brother's name so casually.

But Hong Shinian's tone was flat, and he looked at Xiao Xiang with sadness and hatred in his eyes, "Going back to the emperor...it's about the fourteenth prince's family."

"What's wrong?"

"Many ministers in the court plan to go to the emperor together, hoping to spare the fourteenth prince's family and avoid the death penalty."

"Um."

Xiaolong looked at the two people in the hall.One is avoiding looking at the ground, and the other is looking at the ground.No one would believe that the two of them didn't know each other.

"Hongqing's family, tell me, how should I deal with the fourteenth prince's family?"

Hong Shinian said two words slowly, "It should be killed."

There was dead silence in the hall, echoing Hong Shinian's cold-blooded reply.

Xiao Xiang stared at Hong Shi Nian in disbelief.should kill? !Those family members are innocent people!Shi Nian... When did you become so vicious? !

But Xiaolong asked again, "Why?"

"Back to the emperor, the fourteenth prince still has a son, if you don't get rid of it, I'm afraid there will be endless troubles."

Xiao Xiang shook his head weakly, wouldn't he even let the child go? !Too cruel!  …

Shi Nian, you have changed...

Seeing Xiao Xiang's pale face, Xiaolong thought it was a sick attack, and said softly, "Xiao Xiang, you should step back and rest first."

Xiao Xiang didn't immediately salute and thank him.He was worried that if Hong Shi Nian would successfully persuade the emperor if he retreated from the palace now, the fourteenth prince's son would be lost.

"Your Majesty!..." Xiao Xiangxiu frowned, and his tone was earnest, but the two men in the palace thought that he was reluctant to leave someone.

Xiaolong smiled.Usually others always obey his orders, but today this guard refused to obey his orders again and again.He didn't answer when I asked him, told him to back down and refused to leave.Interesting, this guard is really interesting!

"Xiao Xiang, come here."

Xiao Xiang glanced at Hong Shinian, his expression full of disappointment and grief.Hong Shinian looked at him, and couldn't help but sigh: Why this look? ! ...

Xiaolong deliberately waited until Xiao Xiang came to him, then held his hand, satisfied with Xiao Xiang's astonished expression, and then said to Hong Shinian, "The Hongqing family will step down first, and I will think about it later."

Heartache, not reconciled!What is the relationship between senior brother and the emperor? !

Hong Shinian was too angry to speak.He clenched his fists and saluted deeply, then turned around and left.
