Chapter 56: Temptation IX

"Mother, don't worry, let the children be detailed. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info" Xia Zihai was not as panicked as Mei Qianqian, and continued calmly, "Although Erchen invited an assassin, his original intention was not to assassinate the second brother. Erchen once accidentally learned that someone secretly contacted the second brother's subordinates and asked the second brother about his daily habits and travel arrangements. Erchen sent a secret guard to investigate this person, only to know that this person is extraordinary, and his martial arts are from the rivers and lakes, and he does not belong to the secret guard. Since the other party is a Jianghu person, if Erchen sends a secret guard to dispatch, he will be secret, but he is afraid that he will startle the snake. Erchen also found a Jianghu organization and asked them to help Erchen dig out the identity of this person and the person behind the scenes. ”

"Hai'er, are you really not planning to assassinate the second prince?"

Xia Zihai shook his head and smiled, and said softly, "Mother rest assured, her son is not only a son, but also a courtier, and the way of loyalty and filial piety is borne by him, how dare he deceive his mother." Besides, the second brother is still a member of the royal family, even if I don't like him in my heart and worry that my father will attach too much importance to him, there is no need to use such inferior means. ”

Mei Qianqian breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Have you found out the identity of that person?"

"It was found out that this person was also from Feiyue Pavilion, but he died that night, in the third brother's private residence. ”

"Is this kid Zihe?" Mei Qianqian's face showed an unbelievable expression, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Even though this kid is proud by nature and can't tolerate thorns in his eyes, these are only because he is a member of the royal family, he is still young and has not been tempered. But such a ruthless method as assassinating his own brother doesn't look like he can do it?"

Mei Qianqian hesitated and asked, "Could it be that the person you investigated saw that his identity was exposed, and the mastermind behind the scenes deliberately let him die, and then blamed Zihe?"

As soon as Mei Qianqian finished speaking, he saw a cold smile on Xia Zihai's face, and he said coldly, "The position of Prince Dayong is vacant, if it is an incident caused by the struggle for the crown, the second brother is the victim, if the third brother is innocent, the rest is the son-in-law and the fourth brother." The third brother is arrogant and violent, if he can't do such a thing, the fourth brother who has always studied Buddhism is even more impossible, then the only object of doubt is Erchen. ”

"No, no, no, I didn't mean that, how could Hai'er do such a thing. ”

"Of course, if Erchen did it intentionally, he would definitely be able to leak a drop of water, how could it be possible to send two assassins to expose so many mistakes, expose themselves and contradict themselves. Moreover, even if the third brother is still young, it is difficult to do such a cruel thing, doesn't he still have a mother? As far as the sons know, no prince in the palace has been born or grown up healthily for many years, thanks to Concubine Jiang De's favor for the concubines in the harem. Even when Princess Nanqin was pregnant with her fourth brother, she almost had a miscarriage, which was caused by the grace of Concubine De, but unfortunately there was no evidence and no one dared to speak, so that the dignified Princess Nanqin is now committed to the Buddha in the temple and does not dare to live in the harem for a long time......"

"Okay, okay, it's all in the past, and it's all the gossip of the palace people, which is not true. Mei Qianqian stood up suddenly, interrupted Xia Zihai's words, and said politely, "You should also go back early, it's getting late, and you will have to give the key to the palace gate later." ”

Xia Zihai left as he said, and before going out, he stopped and turned to smile at Mei Qianqian, his voice was low and gentle, "Mother, I am no longer an ignorant child under your feet, I am old and know what to do and what not to do, please mother don't worry too much about me." ”

The night breeze caressed his face, the cold expression on his face gradually blew away, and the thin lips under his slender eyebrows were bent, evoking a smile but not a smile, which was very amorous and charming, fascinating, and he said slowly, "My father doesn't like his sons, this is something that cannot be forced." As the crown prince, if he thinks that his sons can take on this great responsibility, his sons will definitely live up to their expectations. If you feel that your sons are still lacking and unable to shoulder the heavy responsibilities of the country, the three royal brothers will do your best, and your sons will definitely do their best to assist. Of course, it is inevitable that there will be disappointment and resentment in my heart, but Dayong is the Dayong of our Xia family, there is a family before there is a country, and the son, as the eldest son, must protect the love of father and son, brotherhood, otherwise, the family is uneasy, the country is difficult to determine, and Dayong can not be long-term. ”

"Good boy, it's hard for you to see so far ahead, if your father knows, he will definitely feel at ease. ”

"Mother, I speak my heart to you, not to let him know, but to let you know, to reassure you. Xia Ziyan paused, and seemed to hesitate.

As if knowing what he was worried about, Mei Qianqian said, "I know what you want to say, don't worry." If you were to marry Lu Kui, would you be willing?"

The door of the temple has been opened, and the dim canopy of heaven cannot be frightened by the slightest light, there is no moon, there are no stars, the heaven and the earth are full of whining winds, and the heat does not seem to have dissipated, and it is sullen and uncomfortable. Xia Zihai turned his head to look at Mei Qianqian's face with a look of surprise, as if there was a little more hesitation, a trace of light shone into his eyes, fluttering like fireflies, unable to melt into the depths of his eyes, Mei Qianqian was just about to urge him to leave, he replied, "If Kui'er already has a sweetheart in her heart, Erchen hopes that she can get her wish." But ......"

Xia Zihai didn't continue, he lowered his head, but he didn't know where to look, but his voice was low and soft, like a cloud with wet moisture, flying not far, a kite with a broken string, couldn't fly, "As long as you don't have to marry Xiyi, everything is up to your mother." ”

The door of the hall was closed faintly, and the sound of the palace people sending Xia Zihai away came from outside the hall, which could not penetrate into the hall lightly, like a cloud of impenetrable fog pasted together. No one entered the hall, and no wind leaked into the hall, but there was a shadow on the ground that turned out from behind the screen of the inner hall for no reason, and the shadow was divided into two, one fell under the chair opposite Mei Qianqian, and the other stood behind the chair.

Mei Qianqian didn't raise her head, her voice was unusually calm, "Hai'er's mind is all here, although some of it is angry, but her mind can still be distinguished." As for whether these are true or false, there should be no need for the concubine to say more. ”

There was no response, Mei Qianqian looked up at the other side, only to feel that this summer night suddenly became cold, obviously there was a layer of stuffy sweat on the back of the palms of her hands, but her heart was very cold, and she couldn't cover it, as if she had turned back into a stone. A smile appeared on her face, and she spoke again, "Grandpa Ge, please go out for a while first, the mourning family has something to say at this time, and I want to say it alone with the saint in private, it's good." ”

Ge Yun raised his eyes, nodded, and without saying a word, he immediately raised his feet and went out. Although Mei Qianqian was asking herself, she was actually asking Xia Hao, but Ge Yunlin glanced at Xia Hao before going out, and saw that he was still frowning, and he was still the same as when he came. The thin lips are tight, and even the jaw line is tight, and since stepping into the harem, there has been no relaxation.

Three thousand beauties, beauties like clouds, how can they make the king feel at ease. The harem is gentle, and when can the king let go of his mind for a moment. However, I am afraid that this sultry summer will usher in a heavy rainstorm. Ge Yun closed the door of the temple, pulled his hands into his sleeves, and looked at the gloomy sky.
