"Of course it's because that's how you treated my mother in the first place, I just want to give everything back to you!"

After saying this, the second prince Hongxi stopped talking, and didn't seem to have the idea of telling his story here, and by the way, let the listener bow to tears.

It's just that from the expression of the emperor of the Great Qin Empire, there seems to be something more, probably guilt? Who knows.

So, this middle-aged man in an earthy yellow dragon robe suddenly had more strength, he stood up, and walked forward without anyone to help him, and his back looked a little tragic inexplicably.

The rain seemed to get heavier, and no one spoke along the way, as if everyone had lost the interest in talking.

......

The emperor's dormitory is of course the most gorgeous place in this palace except for the largest hall in the middle, and it is also the highest place, it seems that as long as you stand there, you can see thousands of miles of rivers and mountains.

Of course, thousands of miles of rivers and mountains can't be seen, and it's no problem to take half of the imperial city into view.

The palace is built on a high platform, and if you want to reach the top of the high platform, you must pass through a long staircase, and under normal circumstances, His Majesty the Emperor is carried up and down this staircase by people, although it takes a long time, but it does not require the emperor to move a few more times.

On one side of the staircase, there was a platform set on a slide, and a long rope connected the platform to the winch at the top of the staircase, which could transport food and other things, and of course people, but the emperor would not go up and down the stairs in this way.

Today, not only did no one come to carry their Emperor Majesty up, but the four big men who were originally responsible for turning the winch also disappeared.

It is better to say that along the way, the four of them did not meet any of the guards, palace maids, or eunuchs.

Of course, except for Lu Tao, a fake eunuch.

"Father, don't look for it anymore, these people have all been transferred by me, and they want to gather in the front hall and wait for the credit of the escort to automatically fall on their heads. Although the second prince Hongxi's face was full of water, he still smiled very happily.

Peony is different, I don't know when he took out an umbrella from where, covering the top of his head, except for the first time when he was drenched with some rain, it is still quite elegant.

She glanced at the second prince, Hongxi, and then at the emperor, smiled and said nothing.

The emperor of the Great Qin Empire looked up at the second prince Hongxi, and also didn't say anything, he stepped on the stairs, walked a few steps, suddenly looked back at Peony, and said: " At that time, my father, that is, your grandfather, ordered everyone but himself to walk on his own legs, and my mother, as well as my father's concubines, are like this, hehehe, think about it, walk on such a road, even if you dress well before you come up, you will become a broken flower and a willow on the top, and I don't know what my father thinks before he promulgates such a decree. ”

After a pause, he continued: "Later, since I became the emperor, I have some understanding, this palace is the closest place to the sky, and it is also the closest place to the core of this world, so having it is equivalent to owning everything, and this kind of authority must not be shared by others. ”

Peony listened to his father's words, and looked at the very embarrassed middle-aged man with some suspicion: "What do you mean?"

The emperor of the Great Qin Empire closed his mouth and stopped talking, and Peony glanced at the second prince Hongxi on the other side, Hongxi didn't seem to understand what his father meant, and he frowned and shook his head at Peony.

Ascending the stairs to the top, the emperor of the Great Qin Empire seemed to suddenly come to life, and some huge bodies walked on the top of the stairs layer by layer, not showing a little old state.

Even though the rain in the sky was still falling, the four of them quickly walked up the stairs about seven or eight stories high to the entrance of the palace at the top.

Above the main hall, three big characters stood there, Lu Tao just looked at them, and he could feel the majesty of writing them from those big characters, the dragon flew and the phoenix danced, and the tiger roared and the dragon chanted.

Pity...... Lu Tao didn't know the words on it.

"Hey, what's written on this?" Lu Tao touched Peony's shoulder.

Peony seemed to be shocked by the three big characters above, staring at them non-stop, and only turned her head helplessly after being interrupted by Lu Tao: "You didn't tell me before that you couldn't read......"

Lu Tao: "...... You didn't ask!"

Peony Yaoyao headed: "It is written on the Star Picking Pavilion." ”

"Yes, Star Picking Pavilion. The emperor opened his mouth to take Peony's words, and he wiped the water on his face: "The ancestor who established this Star Picking Pavilion wants to pick the stars in the sky from here, this is his wish that he knows before he dies, hehehe, if the stars are so easy to pick, it doesn't take so long for the royal family." ”

Lu Tao frowned, he always felt that there seemed to be something wrong with what the emperor said, but then, he didn't have time to think about what was wrong.

From the Star Picking Pavilion, a large group of people with their faces covered poured out, and they silently and quickly surrounded Lu Tao and the four of them in the middle, and then stood motionless without saying a word.

The second prince Hongxi looked at his father: "Father, this is your backhand?!"

"Hmph! If I had such a backhand, would I still need to suffer such a great humiliation?!" The Emperor of the Great Qin Empire snorted angrily and looked at the people around him: "Who are you?!Why did you come out of the Star Picking Pavilion!"

There was silence all around, neither speaking nor moving, and more than a dozen pairs of eyes stared at the four people in the middle, as if they wanted to see flowers on the faces of the four people.

Lu Tao observed carefully, these people were men and women, but there was a bulge in the position of their arms, as if there was something, and the long knives on their waists were not pulled out, but all of them were hung in the position where they could be pulled out, just waiting for someone to give an order, there could be more than a dozen warriors with knives.

Bump into the crowd from here, and then run away, if you can use the wind control technique, it is not difficult to jump directly from the side, but if you do this, it seems that there is no way to bring the peony, Lu Tao looked at the peony beside her, but she did not panic much, but like Lu Tao, carefully observed these people who surrounded the four of them.

The second prince Hongxi seemed to be in some kind of not very good mood, he took two steps forward, as if he wanted to pass directly through the blockade of these people, but of course he was pushed back, and the second prince Hongxi's somewhat annoyed voice sounded: "Who are you?! If you have a name or a surname, report your name! What does it mean to surround us like this? Believe it or not......

"Your Royal Highness the Second Prince, don't be impatient, my master will come out soon, and someone will naturally tell you what happened, as for now...... Don't look at us and think we can do whatever we want without speaking, we don't mind letting you die before your father, it's useless to keep you anyway. ”

The second prince was stunned: "Female?"

It was a woman who just made a voice, even if she deliberately lowered her voice, the voice belonging to a woman still couldn't be concealed, but before she made a sound, even Lu Tao didn't find out that it was a woman, mainly from the point of view of her figure, the person who spoke had no protruding parts at all, which made Lu Tao recognize the wrong gender.

"Hmph! What's wrong with the woman? Do you look down on women?!" she turned back and ordered: "Give him a little bitterness! This kind of guy who doesn't know the height of the sky and the thickness of the earth, lest he be abrupt of his master later!"

"Yes!"

In the crowd surrounding Lu Tao's four people, two people were separated, and they stepped forward and grabbed the second prince Hongxi.

"What are you going to do! I am the prince of the Great Qin Empire! No matter who you are, you ...... Ahh

Before the second prince Hongxi finished speaking, he was kicked hard, and he fell to his knees, the rain and sweat on his face were mixed together, and he screamed very miserably.

The Great Qin Empire Emperor, whose clothes were wet and still dripping with water, glanced at the second prince, Hongxi: "Hmph!

The second prince Hongxi, who fell to the ground, didn't seem to have suffered his physical suffering, Lu Tao watched the two people take out a leather whip from behind their backs and slam it on the body of the second prince, making a "pop" sound, mixed with the screams of the second prince, covering the sound of the rain.

"You, follow me!"

The person who spoke first spoke again, and a pair of eyes that emerged from behind the black cloth covering his face looked at Lu Tao fixedly.

Lu Tao looked left and right, then stretched out his finger and pointed at himself: "Are you calling me?!"

"Of course, it's you who called!

Lu Tao was stunned for a moment, he remembered that he hadn't done anything, at most, he looked at it twice when the second prince was whipped, anyway, he was not interested in being "educated" by this person.

Peony took a step forward and gave Lu Tao a reassuring look: "Although I don't know what you want to do, but if I'm not mistaken, you should be from the north, right? You should know me, right? I should have met you, hehehe, as the landlord here, I don't have a chance to treat you well, and ...... I should have guessed earlier. ”

The masked man who had spoken before bent down and saluted: "That's right, my master will thank you alone later, and for now, I need to take him inside." ”

Then, the masked man pointed at Lu Tao: "Come here quickly, my patience is not very good, don't worry, my master and I won't kill you!"
