Gao Sinian looked at the thin clothes on his body and did not speak.

Li Dequan, who was on the side, was already paralyzed and didn't dare to speak.

Li Dequan knew that from the moment Emperor Wan Qi told him about the past, he was equivalent to losing his life.

Emperor Wan Qi never showed weakness in front of outsiders, and if he saw Emperor Wan Qi's weakness, then Emperor Wan Qi would kill him.

So after weighing it, he chose to follow Zhou Yinzhu's side.

It may not be a wise choice, but it is the only choice he has to make.

Because, the result of his protector may be that life is worse than death tortured by Gaussian.

"Eighth Prince!" Li Dequan said tremblingly, "Please have mercy and leave the old slave alive!"

Zhou Yinzhu didn't answer, but clenched his hands and rubbed them, as if this could be a little hot, "I won't take your life." However, whoever is going to see the Emperor tonight is not allowed to understand?"

Li Dequan immediately kowtowed, "The old slave knows!"

Zhou Yinzhu glanced at Gao Sinian and said, "Let's go!"

The two teenagers put on their hoods and quickly descended the stairs again, disappearing into the dark night. At the same time, the originally quiet hall was full of dense guards, and even the high normal temperature, which rarely appeared on weekdays, also appeared in the crowd.

Their expressions were cold, like evil spirits hiding in the night.

At that time, Mrs. Xiang always felt that something was wrong, especially at this time, he always felt stuffy and uncomfortable and couldn't sleep.

After a while, he got up and called out, "Someone!"

The attendant waiting outside the house immediately pushed open the door and walked in, "Master, what's wrong with you?"

"Is Xiang Wen back?" he asked.

The attendant shook his head, "Uncle hasn't returned yet!"

Xiang frowned at the old lady, lifted the brocade quilt and got up to go out, he was so hurried that he even forgot to put on his shoes and socks.

"Master!" the attendant was a little anxious, "you will get cold!"

Where does the old lady Xiang care about these things at this time, he has been uneasy these days, and he always feels that some things are no longer what he expected. However, at the same time, Xiang Wen walked in from the outer courtyard.

There was also a teenager behind Xiang Wen.

"Uncle Xiang!" the young man's voice was slow, "don't come unharmed?"

Even if the old lady Xiang's mind was confused at this time, he could still hear who the young man was.

He took a step back, "You...... Why are you here?"

The boy laughed, "Is it a surprise?"

How could it not be surprising that someone who was clearly guarding the frontier appeared here.

The old lady Xiang saw Xiang Wen's trembling body clearly through the windproof lamp under the porch, and only asked after half a ring, "What are you doing with me?"

"Uncle is going to talk to me here?" the boy remained still.

Gritting his teeth at the old lady, even though he stood barefoot on the marble floor, he still felt like a flame burning in his heart.

"Come in!" he whispered.

The young man and Xiang Wen slowly walked towards the house, and the attendant was also called away by the old lady.

There are two queens in the Xiang family, and the mansion is naturally much more spacious than ordinary royal relatives and nobles. Especially in the courtyard where the old lady lives in Xiang, the small stream and green bamboo are faintly ...... Even in the middle of a summer night, you don't feel half the heat. Everything seems to be peaceful, and the mood calms with the trees in the yard.

Zhou Yinzhu is not the first time to come to Xiang's house, but it is the first time to come to the main courtyard.

He found a random place to sit down, and then looked at the old man with angry eyes in his bare feet, and smiled calmly, "Sit down!"

It's the first time I've been here, but it's familiar like I've been here many times.

Old Man Xiang didn't care about his demeanor, just looked at Zhou Yinzhu and asked, "What do you want to do?"

"I should ask Uncle about this, right?" Zhou Yinzhu said, "Over the years, although my father has always disliked Uncle and the Xiang family. I don't quite understand what Uncle is thinking!"

Emperor Wan Qi is very unpopular and is not a good emperor.

The former Princess Danyang and the Ninth Prince Zhou You'an never shook the position of Emperor Wanqi, not because of how powerful Emperor Wanqi was, but because Emperor Wentai was too good at planning.

After that, even if Emperor Wan Qi was on the throne, he did not make any major political achievements.

Obviously, Emperor Wan Qi hated the Xiang family so much, and even suppressed the Xiang family, and there was a conflict with the Xiang family. Although the current person on the throne is still Xiang family, she is just a puppet queen.

A puppet who can't do anything.

So, why does the Xiang family still want to protect Emperor Wanqi?

"Eighth Prince!" said to the old lady in a low voice, "There are some things, don't be delusional!"

"I've never thought about anything, it's mine after all!" Zhou Yinzhu looked back, "Uncle Xiang, I respected you before, not because my grandfather was friendly with you. It's that you are willing to take care of the overall situation, even if you don't get along with your father over the years, you have never done anything to damage Da Chu. But how much I respected you before, how sad I am now......"

"It's okay if you're fighting for power. You like to be on top, and that's okay!"

"But for the sake of power and status, you do not hesitate to sacrifice your relatives, even ...... And those innocent kids!"

"I remember when I was young, you told me that a man can't hurt old and young women and children, but what are you doing now?"

Zhou Yinzhu said this, took out a letter from his cuff and fell to the ground.

The old lady Xiang was speechless by Zhou Yinzhu's words, but he couldn't refute it.

Xiang Wen, who was on the side, was close to Zhou Yinzhu, so he clearly saw the handwriting on the letter.

It was the handwriting he was most familiar with, and it was written by his father.

"Childish!" Even though he knew that he shouldn't be offended, the old lady Xiang still didn't hold back the anger in his heart, "Do you think you know everything?"

"I don't know, I don't want to know, I've never been interested in the affairs of the Xiang family!" Zhou Yinzhu waved his hand, unwilling to listen to the old lady tell him about his suffering, "I only know that killing people will pay for their lives!"

"Since I can get the letter, I can naturally control your troops!"

"I remember that my grandfather had a relationship with my uncle, and I also remembered that after the death of my mother's concubine, the Xiang family was willing to protect me. I won't pursue too much!"

"However, in the future, I don't want my eyes to be in front of me, and there is Xiang family!"

Zhou Yinzhu's words, although soft, were very resolute.

Xiang looked at the letter on the ground, he couldn't think of how the letter that should have been in the hands of the national teacher of the Laiyi clan could have fallen into Zhou Yinzhu's hands.

How so?

He once thought that the Xiang family would regain its former glory in his own hands, but now it seems that the Xiang family will completely leave the capital in his hands.

Since then, among the nobles in the capital, the Xiang family will gradually disappear.

Xiang Wen, who had been frightened for a long time on one side, raised his head and looked at Zhou Yinzhu, "Eighth Prince, do you mean to let the Xiang family leave the capital?
