The daylight is getting stronger, from pale gold to gold, and the golden wall of the palace standing majestically in the sunlight is splendid, but at this time, Leng Yixiu, who came on a horse, has a sense of depression in his heart.

A feeling that has never been felt before.

The soldiers at the gate of the city came up, he jumped off the horse, handed over the horse, and stepped on the long road, Father-in-law Su followed behind him, the dust in his hand waved twice from time to time, the shadows of the two people were one after the other, Leng Yixiu stared at the shadow on the ground, and said for a while: "Father-in-law came early in the morning to pass on the message, and it was hard all the way." ”

"Where," Gonggong Su arched his hand, "Our family is also doing things for the emperor, the emperor slept very late last night, and he was woken up by someone in the secret office of the capital just after falling asleep, and he didn't close his eyes almost all night, and the emperor worked hard, not to mention that our family is a slave?" ”

Leng Yixiu was silent, Gonggong Su said this simply, but the information revealed was too much, the people in the confidential department of the capital? Presumably those people who searched for Rongxi in the name of searching the Li family, the news came out so early? It's fast.

From a distance, I saw that the eunuchs and palace maids in the main hall were standing outside the door, the door was closed, Leng Yixiu's feet sped up a few steps, and Gonggong Su was also standing outside the door, bending down and saying inside: "Back to the emperor, King Ning has arrived." ”

"Come in." The Emperor's somewhat tired voice came from inside, with a faint hoarseness.

Leng Yixiu gently pushed open the door, "squeak", the sunlight gently sprinkled on the ground as he walked in, and the gradually warm sunlight fell on the ground at this time, but it made people feel a kind of bone-penetrating coldness, such as Layue's fingers touching the crystal cold ice, and the chill instantly reached the bottom of his heart.

The fine dust in the hall flew lightly under the sun, like elves one by one, and like restless and restless hearts, Leng Yixiu lowered his eyes and closed the door casually.

The emperor who was sitting in the wide chair behind the dragon bookcase, his hand against his forehead, heard the sound and slowly raised his head, his eyes were bloodshot, and the lines of his eyebrows were no longer straight, like the wings of a resting bird, and the corners of his forehead were faintly white silky.

Leng Yixiu's heart suddenly felt a slight pain, as if the thin sandpaper was gently polishing his heart, those blood beads fell quietly, and the edges and corners of a heart were gradually smoothed, ruthless is the emperor's family, the most intimate father-son relationship in the world, a dragon book case far away, but separated from the end of the cape.

The father is a true dragon son of heaven, he is first of all a dragon, not a person, nor a father, born broad and thin, those eyes are not only staring at the children under their knees, but also staring at this great river and mountain, more world interests in their hearts, monstrous power, the position of these children naturally shrank and shrunk.

However, at this moment, Leng Yixiu was still a little shocked when he suddenly saw his slightly old father, and then poured out infinite sadness, even so, he couldn't come forward to joke with his father and appease his lonely old heart.

I could only bend down and say, "The son sees his father," that's all.

"Get up." The emperor waved his hand, and not far behind him was a huge incense ding, a faint fragrance rose from it, noble and restrained, and his expression was hidden in the shadows, a little blurred.

"Father Xie," Leng Yixiu stood with his head bowed, his nose looking at his mouth, and his mouth asking his heart.

The room was very quiet, Leng Yixiu could even hear his heartbeat, for a long time, the emperor sighed leisurely, the sigh was long and long, like the autumn wind sweeping over the yellowed branches and leaves, the leaves swirled and fell in the wind, and gently fell to the ground.

"So, are you sure the second child died of poisoning?" The Emperor asked lightly.

Leng Yixiu lowered his head and saluted upward: "Father, the son is just using facts to prove it, and there is no personal judgment. ”

"Oh?" The emperor's tone was raised, but he couldn't hear the joy and anger, "So what? Do you think I will continue to investigate this matter or not? ”

Leng Yixiu still lowered his eyes, looking at the tips of his boots, no matter what, the relationship between himself and the prince is known to everyone, and the emperor is naturally aware of it, he is now asking his attitude, what do you want to test?

"Back to the father, the son does not dare to sway the holy will, the son and the second brother are siblings, they are close brothers, the cause of his death, the son and the son are public and private, should be investigated clearly, and now it has been ascertained that he is indeed a victim," he stopped, the light in the gap in the window gently shone on his face, it was the resolute expression of the young prince, "Just like General Rong was also framed by the second brother at the beginning, the son is only to find out the truth, not anything else." ”

His voice was loud, like falling ice beads, crisp and pleasant, and there was a faint coolness between his words, as if he was a little sad in his heart, but it was not resentment, it was just a brother's operation, helpless and long sadness.

The emperor did not speak, his fingers lightly rested on the dragon chair, the wide armrest was carved with cumbersome patterns, which were the claws and scales of the dragon, and the chair under him, just because there was one more dragon, was fought for by the world, including his own flesh and blood.

And at this moment, Aizhong's most suspicious son stood in front of him, and he did not shy away from mentioning those doubts in his heart, he suddenly felt a pain in his heart, and he didn't know how to talk again.

"That's it......" After a long time, he opened his mouth softly, as if his body was full of exhaustion for a moment, "The second child did something wrong, I wanted to spare his life, and I was just a commoner, but who would have thought that things would fall to this step......"

"Father," Leng Yixiu stepped forward and said: "The second brother did something wrong, but, even if it is a big mistake, only the father and the emperor who punish him have this right, the second brother is the former prince, the true dragon under you alone, although he has been abolished when he died, but he should not have died so wrongly, he was poisoned after the matter was revealed, and the second brother must be full of grievances!" ”

"What do you mean......" The emperor's eyes sharpened, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his body leaning on the dragon chair also leaned forward, looking at Leng Yixiu through the dragon bookcase, the light in his eyes flickered, "He has received it on behalf of others?" ”

"Father, the second brother's fault is already conclusive," Leng Yixiu raised his head and met the emperor's gaze without the slightest dodge, "Erchen thinks that there is an accomplice behind the second brother!" That's why they kill people! ”

The emperor didn't speak, he pursed his lips and looked at him, his lips were straight, like a cold and thin knife, how could he not know in his heart? Those who can conspire with the prince are definitely not ordinary people, and they can't even be petty officials, and the worst thing is the prince and minister, otherwise, where will the strength come from to kill the prince afterwards!

What he didn't expect was that the son in front of him actually thought of it, and he dared to say it!

Leng Yixiu could feel the cold momentum emanating from the emperor's body, and the momentum pressed over layer by layer, like a dragon in the clouds, quietly looking down at you from a high place, his eyes were cold and sharp, and the claws hidden under the clouds seemed to be able to break people's bones between overturning.

Leng Yixiu stood in such a gaze, resolute, immovable, like the pine standing on the top of the vast mountain where the mountain rain was coming, he was gambling.

He bet that the emperor would not give up tracking the conspiracy behind the second child because he felt guilty about his second child's death, because he would not allow such a danger to appear by his side, let alone anyone peeping into his throne and power day and night.

"Then who do you think should be sent to investigate this?" Sure enough, after a long time, the emperor's voice came from behind the dragon book, as if it was floating from the distant clouds.

"Erchen thinks that this incident happened in the capital, although it is a private matter of the royal family, but at the same time, the royal family has no private affairs, and it is most appropriate for the confidential department of the capital to investigate." Leng Yixiu said the reason, his voice was clear, and he was fair and fair.

"Hmph, the capital's confidential office?" The emperor's voice overflowed with a trace of dissatisfaction, "Last night, a small group of soldiers from the secret office of the capital suddenly disappeared for no reason, no one was alive, no corpse was dead, and they were having a headache about this matter. ”

"Perhaps...... What is the relationship between the two? "Leng Yixiu will not give up the opportunity to drag King Qi into the water, only by making his forces more chaotic and busy, and having no time to take care of it, will there be a possibility of loopholes.

The emperor pondered for a moment, and felt that there was some truth, otherwise, would these two things have happened too coincidentally? Could it be that someone among them is really afraid that someone from the confidential department of the capital will find out, so they will secretly do it?

"Okay, this matter will be handed over to them to deal with, and the two cases will be investigated together!" The emperor waved his hand, and was about to let Leng Yixiu retreat, but Gonggong Su at the door whispered outside again: "Back to the emperor, His Royal Highness King Qi asks to see you." ”

"Xuan."

There was not much time, the door was pushed open, and King Qi walked in in his court clothes, his face was a little pale, and there were faint cyan marks under his eyes, it seemed that he didn't sleep well last night.

"Erchen has seen his father," King Qi walked over to give a salute, and he was slightly panting as he spoke.

"Get up." The emperor waved his hand.

"The younger brother has seen the third emperor brother." With a faint smile on his face, King Qi saluted Leng Yixiu.

"Eighth brother is not in good health, there is no need to be polite," Leng Yixiu's eyes looked carefully at his face, and said with concern: "Today's complexion is getting worse and worse, but is it because of the important affairs in the capital?" ”

Leng Yiwei's smile narrowed slightly, and he rolled up his sleeves and said, "The news of the Third Emperor Brother is really well-informed. ”

"Where, my brother just heard my father talk about it," Leng Yixiu smiled, "Now my father loves me and gives my eighth brother a good chance to take revenge." ”

"Oh?" Leng Yiwei raised his eyebrows slightly, and his smile was light and light.

"Eighth brother, I have decided to investigate the disappearance of the Beijing Confidential Service team and the murder of the second child by the Beijing Confidential Department, you have to supervise them a lot." The Emperor said.

Leng Yiwei's heart jumped, he suppressed his urge to turn his head and stare at Leng Yixiu, his fingers were lightly clenched, and before he could think of how to refuse, Leng Yixiu's laughing voice sounded again: "Eighth brother, but because he is unwell, he has enough strength to spare?" As...... Brother to help you? ”
