Xiao Heng's clothes are not very expensive fabrics, but a plain dress on him is still a beautiful and elegant one.
The room is quiet.
I don't know if it was because he was crazy or the reaction of the monarch made everyone dare not breathe.
Or both.
The prince summoned up his courage and called out: "father, father, emperor?"
The monarch didn't hear it, or even ignored it.
From the door to the bedside, a short distance of more than ten steps, but the monarch walked for a long time.
He had passed the age when he would be excited by something, and all his emotions were hidden in his weathered eyes.
He came to the child.
The last time they met face to face, Huang changsun was only a five-year-old child. He returned to Shengdu with shangguanyan when he was less than two years old.
Three years old, the Xuanyuan family rebelled.
At the age of four, the Xuanyuan family was destroyed.
At the age of five, he was imprisoned in the imperial mausoleum with his daughter.
Since then, the monarch could see him from a distance in the palace of national teacher almost every two years.
But every time the monarch asked the master to draw his portrait, so he knew the child, no matter far or near.
The king stopped and looked at Xiao Heng: "Qing'er."
Xiao Heng's eyes flashed a trace of surprise: "Your Majesty?"
Everyone was stunned.
"Do you remember me?" the monarch said
Xiao Heng: wait, shouldn't "I" remember you“ I go back to Sheng once every two years. Don't you meet your grandparents and grandchildren?
This kind of small situation naturally can't defeat Xiao Heng.
Xiao Heng glanced at the prince who had not recovered from the shock at the door, and said without changing his face: "that man is called your father emperor. I think no one in the state of Yan can afford the title except his majesty."
The monarch replied: "I just recognized it. No wonder you walked so simply in the carriage last time."
After a pause, Xiao Heng reflected what kind of carriage and last time.
no
Is that bald old man you?
This is the night he was chased by Han Ye. The dead man who came to save him threw him into a carriage. The carriage was split. He only recognized Zhang Dequan.
The monarch asked, "since you have come to Shengdu, why haven't you appeared all the time? Why don't you go back to the palace and find me? "
Xiao Heng dropped his eyes and said with a sad face: "because someone is chasing me, my mother told me not to come out, but I heard that my mother was injured, so I can't continue to hide."
The king's face sank.
The prince is in a bit of a state.
First of all, he didn't recognize Xiao Heng. Seeing each other's first glance, he really thought that shangguanqing had come back.
He didn't wake up until he heard this sentence.
He didn't send people to chase shangguanqing. All he dealt with was Xiao LIULANG.
The boy's original name was Xiao Heng. His father was Xiao Ji, Marquis of Xuanping of Zhao state. At the age of 14, he sent someone to assassinate Xiao Heng. However, Xiao Heng escaped in disguise of death and survived as Xiao LIULANG.
Sometimes the prince used to call him Xiao LIULANG.
But it's not right. Isn't the tear mole under Xiao Heng's right eye removed?
So is this shangguanqing or Xiaoheng?
He thinks Xiao Heng is more likely. After all, Xiao Heng is in Shengdu. On the contrary, shangguanqing has not heard from him for a long time.
But isn't Xiao Heng not clear about his life experience?
How could he come and pretend to be shangguanqing?
The prince's mind was in a mess. There was no way to clear his mind on such an occasion.
Instead, the little princess jumped in.
The monarch said: "Xiaoxue, he is shangguanqing... According to the seniority, we have to call a little aunt."
I went to Lingbo academy more often, and I always get along with my peers. The little princess almost forgot that she was a little elder.
She straightened her back, looked up at Xiao Heng and said, "I'm shangguanxue..."
Ah ah!
This man looks good!
I want to scream with my little face!
The little princess actually met Xiao Heng when she went to Lingbo Academy for class on the first day, but at that time, Xiao Heng was wearing canglan women's Academy uniform and veil, which made people unable to see his appearance.
Xiao Heng pretended to see the little princess for the first time. He squatted down on one knee, looked straight at xiaodouding, and said with a smile, "aunt Xiaoxue is fine."
There were countless pink bubbles on her head.
How lovely this nephew is!
It's not like Princess Ming's little nuisance!
From today on, she will cover him!
The little princess's eyes were bright enough to twinkle, but she tried to be reserved and calm and said, "well, Hello, little nephew."
Shangguanqing's mother's surname is similar to that of a woman's son-in-law, so he is not the grandson of the monarch, not the grandfather of the monarch, but the emperor's grandfather.
But Xiao Heng won't easily call out the "emperor's grandfather" right now.
Based on the monarch's attitude towards himself, Xiao Heng made a preliminary judgment on the position of the emperor's eldest grandson in the eyes of the monarch - the monarch cared about the eldest grandson, even more than he imagined.
Xiao Heng's decision is actually very risky. If the monarch doesn't want to see shangguanqing at all, he will be exposed in vain.
There are two people lying on the two bunks in the room. One is shangguanyan, who is still sleeping after surgery, and the other is Gu Jiao, who is too tired to sleep.
The king's eyes swept over them and finally fell on shangguanyan. He asked, "did the doctor say what happened to your mother?"
Xiao Heng looked at Gu Jiao, who was sleeping soundly. He pinched his fingers and said, "listen to the doctor surnamed Xiao, my mother broke two spines. In order to save my mother's life, eight nails were put into her back."
Nails to the bone!
The monarch's aura was suddenly cool, and the murderous atmosphere filled the whole room.
The little princess, who was not afraid of him, jumped to Xiao Heng's feet subconsciously. While looking at the king, she hugged Xiao Heng's thigh and made a leg pendant for her nephew.
Xiao Heng did not move, let her hang.
The monarch was very angry about the serious injury of his daughter. It is not known whether it was due to the feelings of the surviving father and daughter or the provocation of the prestige of the monarch of a country.
Xiao Heng secretly plans what to say next.
"I heard that my mother fell off the hillside by herself."
The king looked at him.
"My mother was deprived of her martial arts before she went to the imperial mausoleum." This matter is well known, not a secret. Xiao Heng has heard about it for a long time, but the following sentences have to depend on Xiao Heng's performance in Tianxiang Pavilion. "But in order to exercise my body these years, my mother will accompany me to practice martial arts together. I'm not talented and I don't have any achievements. My mother has a little skill."
It would seem that shangguanyan was wrong to say that she began to practice martial arts again, but if she wanted to teach shangguanqing that she was weak and sick, there would be no doubt.
The monarch recalled shangguanyan's appearance of climbing over the wall from the cold palace. He was really a bit of a tripod.
I don't think it's too powerful, otherwise I won't go out of the palace.
Nanshi Niang is also a person who has been dismissed from martial arts. Xiao Heng knows the highest level that can be achieved by practicing martial arts again, so he doesn't advocate Shangguan Yan's excellent martial arts.
He then said, "my mother is very clever and has a little martial arts. I don't believe she would fall like this."
"It's a palace. Does anyone dare to attack your mother in the palace?" The Prince wanted to say that, but if he did, he would be very suspicious.
The prince strode forward and first moved a stool to let the king sit down beside the bed.
Oh, filial piety or his filial piety.
Let the king stand so long.
"Father." As the prince sat down with the monarch, he said with a sad face, "my son also thinks there's something strange about it. Since you've banned shangguanyan's feet for three times, I believe she won't run out of Zhaoyang hall without authorization. Maybe she found some suspicious people, so she will go after them."
Good guy, he said that shangguanyan was injured suspiciously, but actually he emphasized that shangguanyan had violated the emperor's foot ban.
Who let you run out of Zhaoyang hall in the middle of the night?
Listen to the king's words, and nothing will happen?
It's not self inflicted. What is it?
The little princess couldn't understand what they were saying. She hung on the little nephew's leg as a little fruit.
Xiao Heng's eyes cool, with the youth's spirit and temper, said: "how does your highness know that my mother is lured out, not hijacked out?"
The prince choked: "this..."
Xiao Heng said in a cold voice, "I heard that soon after my mother returned to the palace, his Highness the prince let the bodyguard under him hurt my mother."
The prince retorted, "I didn't! It's the guards themselves! I think it's too late to stop it! Because your mother pushed me! She pushed me down the steps of the Pavilion! Do you know how high that pavilion is? "
Xiao Heng asked: "so your Highness has a grudge and let my mother fall down on the high hillside?"
The prince's eyes trembled, and suddenly raised the volume: "no!"
"Enough, don't make any noise!" The king spoke sternly.
The little princess blocked her ears with her fingers.
The monarch said to Zhang Dequan, "take the little princess out."
"Yes." Zhang Dequan came over and took the little princess out.
"When your mother wakes up, she will know. How are you doing? " The king asked Xiao Heng.
Xiao Heng is about to say that he's OK. When he comes to his lips, he remembers that shangguanqing is a sick man. He changes his youthful spirit and says, "as usual."
The monarch said, "now that you are here, I will let you see it later."
Xiao Heng didn't speak.
The monarch frowned at him: "what's the matter?"
Xiao Heng lowered his eyes and said in a low voice: "it can't be cured anyway. There's no need to waste medicinal materials on me."
The monarch looked at the frail eldest grandson and the seriously injured and comatose shangguanyan, and frowned deeply.
There was a strange silence in the room again.
The prince's heart sank gradually.
The monarch is old. Although he is still moody and tyrannical, there is something less rigid in his heart.
This can be seen from his attitude towards the little princess.
He was not so tolerant of shangguanyan.
Did he prefer the little princess?
No, he is not as cruel as he was when he was young.
Shangguanyan's injury, the emperor's eldest son's disease, all hit his heart that inch of flesh and blood.
The Xuanyuan family was destroyed at the right time. If it is now, the queen of Xuanyuan pleads, who can guarantee that the monarch can still hold up the butcher's knife to the door full of Xuanyuan, even the baby in her infancy?
The prince bowed his hand and said, "father, let's leave this matter to my son's minister. He will certainly let the matter of last night come to light and give justice to my third sister."
This time, the monarch did not correct his "third sister".
The prince pinched his fingertips.
"I have my own opinion on this matter." The monarch refused.
The prince was not surprised by his father's decision.
He didn't really want to take things over. He just made a statement in front of his father.
The king looked at shangguanyan with a complicated look and said to Xiao Heng, "take good care of your mother... Your bedroom hasn't moved."
The last sentence is undoubtedly to take the eldest grandson back to the palace.
Xiao Heng said almost without thinking: "no, I want to stay in the National Teacher hall with my mother."
The monarch didn't say much. He stood up and went out the door.
The prince asked his servants to leave the tonic and turned to keep up.
When crossing the threshold, the monarch's steps pause slightly, as if waiting for something.
However, he did not wait until the end.
Xiao Heng did it on purpose. He knew that the monarch was waiting for his grandfather. In fact, he was just acting. He could ask him to say a hundred words, but he didn't want the monarch to do it too soon.
After all, things that are too easy to get are not treasured.
Xiao Heng carefully recalled the performance of a talent, and made sure that he didn't make a big mistake.
The king's affection for shangguanqing's grandparents and grandchildren is unexpected. One of the reasons for the king's preference for shangguanqing should be that shangguanqing's life is not long.
The monarch was afraid of all the people related to the Xuanyuan family, but a living grandson did not pose any threat to his imperial power.
The prince's performance today is very mediocre. He is impulsive and irritable. He explodes a little and can't hold his breath.
But combined with what the Prince did secretly, he speculated that it was just the prince's disguise.
The purpose is to make people feel that he can't hide things in his heart and can't play Yin.
Xiao Heng touched the tear mole with ink under his right eye and said faintly, "let's see who can fit better."
