...........

That night, before Li Pei went to sleep, Zhou Rong came to inspect the tables and chairs.

After carefully inspecting the tables and chairs, Zhou Rong said to Li Pei: "Everything is fine, you can use it with peace of mind." ”

Li Pei's personal father-in-law, Liu Gonggong, had already recognized Zhou Ronglai from Zhou Rong's voice, and immediately retreated outside with interest.

Zhou Rong hurriedly closed the door of the room and knelt down to bow to Li Pei.

"I haven't seen the holy face for more than a year, but now I can see it, and I have mixed feelings. Zhou Rong sighed with emotion, and said: "The minister heard that the queen gave birth to a second prince, congratulations!"

Before he raised his eyes, Zhou Rong was already in tears.

Li Pei personally helped him up and said, "I've worked hard for you for more than a year." Then he asked with concern, "What is the root of life......?" It's not all cut, is it?"

In order to help him investigate Xiao Diyuan's life experience, Zhou Rong did not hesitate to cut off those words, which Li Pei has always been very moved, and secretly told himself that he must compensate him well in the future.

"There's still a little bit left. Because the father-in-law who did it had a good relationship with the minister, the minister begged him not to cut it all, and he agreed. Zhou Rong replied in a low voice.

Li Pei was quite relieved to hear this, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Maybe it can be cured." ”

"Yes, the minister knows a miracle doctor, he will prepare a prescription, and the minister will go to him when he returns to China. ”

"Well, I'll pay for it for you. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty. ”

"The letter has been received, right?"

"I have received it, and the minister will tell His Royal Highness the Second Highness tomorrow to let him go to the Imperial Garden on time. ”

"Hmm. ”

"It was inconvenient for the minister to stay for a long time, so he took his leave. ”

Li Pei nodded, took out a piece of Heshi Bi from his pocket and gave it to him.

Zhou Rong knew at a glance that this was the best jade, and hurriedly knelt down again to thank him.

At noon the next day, Zhou Rong went to see Xiao Diyuan, who was reading the book of soldiers, and when he saw him coming, he put down the book and raised his eyes to look at him.

Zhou Rong hurriedly smiled and said: "Second Highness, someone just asked a slave to send you a message, he said that he will go to the big banyan tree in the imperial garden this afternoon, I hope you will go too, he wants to talk to you alone." ”

There is no need for Zhou Rong to say more, Xiao Diyuan also understood who he was referring to, Xiao Diyuan hesitated for a moment, and said, "Well, I know." ”

Zhou Rong hurriedly left.

At the end of the afternoon, Xiao Diyuan went to the Imperial Garden as promised.

When he arrived, the Emperor of Zhaoguo, Li Pei, had already arrived, and the latter was standing under the big banyan tree with his hands in his hands to look at the scenery ahead.

Xiao Diyuan approached to salute, and Li Pei said with a smile: "The widow heard that your banyan tree grows extremely beautiful, so I came to take a look." As he spoke, he turned to look at the big banyan tree.

Li Pei came to Xiao Diyuan as soon as he came, so he hadn't appreciated the big banyan tree properly.

Xiao Diyuan knew that he was not a drunkard, and said with a smile: "It is the honor of this tree to be so appreciated by the king. ”

Li Pei came to the trunk of the tree and reached out to touch the thick trunk, and soon found the inscriptions on the trunk, he pointed to the word 'court' and asked, "Does this word 'court' have a origin?"

Xiao Diyuan thought for a moment before replying, "It's a friend's name." ”

Li Pei smiled and touched the word. "If you can engrave a friend's name here, it shows that he is not your ordinary friend." ”

Xiao Diyuan nodded and said, "Well, it's an excellent friendship." ”

Before he was sure of Li Pei's true intentions, Xiao Diyuan had to be cautious, but he thought about everything on both sides, and he was not particularly nervous, he ordered someone to bring two wooden stools and sit and talk with Li Pei under the banyan tree.

Li Pei looked at Xiao Diyuan and said: "The widow heard that you look very similar to the widow, so I wanted to take advantage of this visit to take a look, and after reading it, I realized that what they said was true." ”

Seeing that Li Pei spoke cordially, without the slightest emperor's shelf, Xiao Diyuan also relaxed a lot, and gave him a smile in return: "My honor." ”

Li Pei closed his eyes and sighed: "Seeing you, the widow can't help but think of one of the widow's younger brothers, if he is still alive, he should be as old as you." ”

Xiao Diyuan looked at Li Pei sharply.

Li Pei also looked at Xiao Diyuan.

The moment their eyes met, they both had a feeling of inexplicability.

"What happened to your brother?" Xiao Diyuan asked, realizing that his throat was dry.

"Haven't you heard about it?"

"Nope. ”

Li Pei smiled and said, "It's not strange that you haven't heard of it. He continued: "He was eaten by a wild wolf on a vacation in the mountains." ”

Xiao Diyuan's heart was shocked.

Last year, when Zhou Rong helped him with divination, he said that his life had a lot to do with wild wolves. He didn't believe it at all, and he didn't understand it. How could he be a good person and get involved with wild wolves? Not to mention that there are not many mountains and forests in the Dawn Kingdom, and wild wolves have not been heard of in these mountains and forests for hundreds of years.

Xiao Diyuan asked, "Was there no one to take care of him at that time?"

Li Pei said, "The queen went into the inner room to bathe, and the window was ajar, but there were palace maids and guards guarding the door. ”

"The wolf came in through the window?"

"Yes, after the incident, everyone found that the windows were wider than before, and there were wolf hairs on the floor and on the sheets. ”

Xiao Diyuan only felt that there was an indescribable taste surging in his heart, and he trembled and asked, "Where did it happen?"

"Daqing Mountain, it's very close to the southern border of your Shu Kingdom. ”

Xiao Diyuan was silent.

Li Pei got up and said, "The widow went back first." He reached out and patted Xiao Diyuan's shoulder again, then stopped talking, and finally swallowed back the words that came to his mouth, turned around and strode away.

Over there, Xiao Hong pulled down his face as soon as he returned to the Heart Cultivation Palace.

Obviously, there was no third person in the house when he confessed to Gonggong Zhong yesterday about the release of medicine, how did Xiao Diyuan know? It is impossible for him to know without being informed, it is impossible, and it is unlikely that he can guess that he will do this, but why did he find out?

Could it be that Gong Zhong announced that it was secret? Xiao Hong unconsciously looked at Gong Gong.

It's impossible, Gonggong Zhong doesn't have the guts, and Gonggong Zhong won't be stupid enough to betray him to help the second prince.

Could it be that there was a third person in the house at the time?

Xiao Hong immediately called Gonggong Zhong over and asked, "Were there any other people in the house when I told you about that incident yesterday?"

Gonggong Zhong replied with certainty: "Back to Your Majesty, no." ”

Xiao Hong was still not at ease, so he called the few people who were on duty outside yesterday for questioning.

One of them said cautiously: "Back to Your Majesty, the Empress has been here, but she is soon gone." ”

Xiao Hong's face changed greatly, and he hurriedly asked, "Did she enter the house?"

"In. ”

That was undoubtedly what she said to Xiao Diyuan.

Xiao Diyuan, Xiao Diyuan, you made a good move, Xiao Hong squeezed the teacup in his hand fiercely.

But now it's useless to pursue it again, Li Pei has already met with Xiao Diyuan.

Xiao Hong never thought that the Liu family would do this, but now that he learned about it, he didn't know what to do with her for a while.

"Your Majesty, if you deal with the queen, Your Royal Highness will definitely know, then the resentment between you will become deeper and deeper, which is by no means a good thing for you and Shuguo, so the slave advises you to be ignorant of this matter. Gonggong Zhong hurriedly knelt down and persuaded bitterly.

Xiao Hong held his forehead on the table with his hand and pondered, and finally sighed lightly.
