Chapter 1302： When the secret is revealed

"His Royal Highness, Your Majesty is waiting for you inside."

Seeing His Royal Highness stopping in front of the door, Gong Cao was a little confused, but he reminded him aloud.

Xiao Xu didn't say anything, turned his back and pushed the door open.

The heavy door was pushed open from the outside, and a loud noise rang in the empty temple.

Although I do not know where this uneasy feeling comes from, all of this must be faced today.

He stepped in without hesitation.

Emperor Xixuan was standing under a portrait, looking up and appreciating, hearing the sound coming from behind him, he did not look back, but said blandly, "You are here."

"Yes, the son-in-law came to hear the order, I don't know what the emperor has to explain." Xiao Xu bowed his head slightly, saluted, and then asked.

"You come." Xi Xuandi turned his head and waved at him.

Xiao Xu hesitated for a while before walking over, but instead of standing with Xi Xuandi, he stood behind him.

"I have a question to test you."

"Father Emperor, please."

Xi Xuandi pointed at the painting on the wall and asked him with a smile, "Do you know who made this painting?"

Xiao Xu turned his attention to the scroll before he heard the words. The painting was not signed, but he could see that it was good. He answered truthfully, "I don't know."

Emperor Xixuan was behind him, stroking his beard with one hand, and slowly said, "This painting is from the hand of painting artist Liu Xiran."

"Liu Xiran? Could it be the one who was cut off six years ago?" Xiao Xu was somewhat surprised.

"Yes," Emperor Xuan Xuan turned gloomy. "He was a generation of painters and won the favor of Xun, but He can't tolerate the deception of others, so he described a tiger painted as a cat as Cat, this makes me very angry. Although he is a talented person, he cannot allow others to bully him.

Xiao Xu didn't know why his father suddenly said this. Although it wasn't obvious, he had doubts in his heart.

Emperor Xixuan glanced at the people around him, then turned back and walked back to the dragon chair and sat down. "For so long, I have never asked the soldiers in the battle with Nan Cang. Many of them have not entered Beijing to receive rewards. I don't know. Have you settled well? "

"The border cannot be separated from the people. The battle of Nan Cang consumed too much manpower to prevent neighboring countries from taking advantage of it. Most of them stayed there. Although they did not enter Beijing to receive rewards, their father did not treat them badly. The decree of the merit reward has also been made, and it is very rich, and they are also grateful. "

Xiao Xu talked about things, formulating his tone.

Emperor Xixuan nodded, "They are all Xier Xuanlang. Thanks to them, they can protect the safety of one party." Speaking of this, he suddenly turned the subject, "I remember in the army, there is a very brilliant young man, called Chu Yan came. "

Xiao Xu's pupils shrank, and I didn't know what the emperor's sudden mention was. He still calmly and calmly said, "Yes, although he is young, he has the courage and is a rare general."

Xi Xuan Di Mulu praised him, but his tone was dubious. "I also heard that many generals praised him a lot, but why did n’t he come to Beijing this time? And why did you not draw him in the list of rewards you drafted? Is it missing or? "

Xiao Xu frowned, "He was originally going to Beijing with his sons and daughters, but suddenly something happened at home, he left, and declared that he was not an official in the DPRK, but if the people were in trouble, he would still come forward."

"This kind of talent is rare! But I heard that Chu has no father or mother, orphan, how can there be something in the home? Could it be-" Xi Xuandi turned to Xiao Xu with a smile, "It's you Unwilling to let people become officials, or don't want him to appear in front of You? "

Xiao Xu's fingers slowly gripped, and the bad guess in his heart had been verified.

He still said as usual, "Children are afraid."

As if Emperor Xixuan did not hear what he said, he continued, "Actually, Chu Yan also entered Beijing together, but no one recognized it. Do you think Father Huang is right?"

Xiao Xu pursed his lips.

"Chu Yan, Chu Qingyan, a word difference, the same homonym is actually very easy to guess, but no one has ever linked the two together, I'm right?"

Emperor Xixuan said this sentence lightly, but fell on his shoulder like a heavy stone, and his spine was stiff for a moment.

On the Fengtai Mountain Road, the carriage was galloping, but unfortunately the speed could only be reduced due to the heavy wind and rain.

This mountain road is not easy to walk, it rains again, and there are potholes everywhere, and the visibility is too low, and the carriage is staggering.

Pang Yuejing woke up because of bumps all the way.

The light cough sounded to Xiao Hou, who was drying clothes for her with internal force. He grabbed her hand and looked at her with joy, "You woke up. Do you feel uncomfortable?"

Pang Yuejing took a deep breath before complaining to him, "You're holding it too tightly, is this not counted?"

"Just kidding, proof that the injury is stable!"

That being said, he was still a little slack in holding her strength, and didn't know why, before he saw her face as white as if it was about to disappear, he couldn't help but want to hold her tightly in his arms, Then he could feel that she was really alive.

Feeling that her wet clothes had become dry, she was a little surprised, but when she looked up to ask him, she found that his lips were very pale, his face was not very good, and blood was still lingering in the corners of his mouth, as if there was something Is piercing her heart.

"What's wrong with you? Did those people hurt you?" She said, angry and distressed.

Xiao Hou basked gently. "They can't get me. This is the sequelae of the poisonous hair last night. Just rest for two days and don't worry."

She nodded, remembering the terrible poisonous hair he had last night, and now he was still worried, but fortunately everything had passed.

There was a gentle capricorn on her face, and she lifted her eyes slightly, but met his gentle eyebrows, which was different from the gentleness of the eyes, but was really revealed by her heart as gentle as water. She blinked. Why does a person suddenly change his temper so well for her? Is it because she saved him last night?

She can't help but say, "Xiao Hou, you are so kind to me all of a sudden, I'm not used to it."

"Hello to you, you still don't like it, it's really a headache." He raised his hand and scraped her nose lightly, but with a helpless voice, he drowned infinitely.

However, her intimacy made her even more flattered. She quickly said, "Xiao Hou, if you helped me to detoxify you last night, you feel bad about it, and feel that the innocence of a girl's house is defiled and I want to take responsibility. This is not necessary, because chastity is important to us, but it is not as important to you as it is, and the women here will not reject men because they have had a predecessor, and men will not because women have had Boyfriend didn't accept her, so-- "

Suddenly she felt that the surrounding air was getting cold, and then Xiao Hou's face became so terrible and terrible—
