Chapter 484: Life Experience, Trembling
Xiao Jin felt relieved that he had made the final decision. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info In fact, no matter what he chooses, once he makes up his mind, he must go all the way to the dark.
He was well aware of his situation, so he couldn't afford to let up in the slightest.
It's like he didn't want to be emperor in the first place. As a prince, although he did not get the special favor of his father, but maybe he was old and had a son, compared to other princes, he was not very bad.
But gradually, the carefree days were gone from him. In addition to planning for his future, he must also fight for the future of his mother.
Since when did the brothers who didn't care about him start to guard against him. Originally, he just grew up carefree, but he began to experience all kinds of dangers again and again.
There was no shortage of danger in that palace, and he had experienced it firsthand. And one day, when he knew the truth of everything, everything was no longer under his own control.
All kinds of gossip began to spread around every corner. The rumors about him outside are not because of others, but because of himself, such as the rumors that the old emperor robbed his son and gave birth to him, true or false, I'm afraid that no one knows what the truth of the matter is except for parties like him.
He was tired of this life, but he felt a sense of crisis and had to desperately try his best to find a way out.
It was not his wish to become emperor, but he had to be involved in the whirlpool of competition for the throne. Not for himself, but for him and her.
He could understand the plans in the man's pigeon biography. Muddy the waters to touch bigger fish.
If it weren't for the fact that he had ever taken the trouble to understand Fang Xiaoyu, even he thought that it would be a good choice to follow the content of the letter, provoke a war between Dacheng and Da Zhou, and consume the strength of the old emperor.
But in the end, the uneasiness in his heart outweighed the impulse of a moment, and after thinking and hesitating over and over, he stood here, choosing to stand on the same front as her, and contrary to his plan.
He hoped that his choice was correct, and he was gambling on a future with this momentary determination.
Fang Xiaoyu showed a true but not hypocritical smile at this time. When Xiao Jin was really relieved, she was the same.
If Xiao Jin made another choice, all her previous plans would be reversed.
She wants to help Xiao Jin get the throne, not overnight, but at least clear most of the obstacles for him. But if Xiao Jin had other thoughts, she would have to give up this excellent candidate and choose someone else. After all, her meddling in the battle for the throne of Da Zhou was just to bring stability to Da Cheng. Because Xiao Jin is a person who doesn't have too much ambition, he can become the object of her help. Otherwise, there are so many princes in Da Zhou, and she can choose an obedient one again, which is better than seeking skin with the tiger.
Now that Xiao Jin has made a choice, at least so far, he is very satisfied, so even if Xiao Jin is still angry about killing people in the name of the underworld, because the other party does not know the relationship between the underworld and her, they can still cooperate happily.
"Suddenly, I want to eat Piaoxiangzhai's roast pigeons." Fang Xiaoyu showed a mouthful of big white teeth, as if he had already smelled the mouth-watering delicacies.
"You're laughing a little crazy." Xiao Jin didn't know if it was an illusion.
"Xici always said that I smiled beautifully. You don't know how to appreciate it as well as him. Fang Xiaoyu didn't forget to sell herself and boast, Xiao Jin knew that shutting up and letting her indulge herself was the best way.
Fang Xiaoyu grinned, looking out the window in a certain direction, across the two streets of the Dragon Spirit Inn, there was a restaurant, and the drunkard duck and honey pigeon were their signature dishes.
"Piaoxiangzhai's roast pigeons, the taste is light but not greasy, the pigeons are the best Lanling carrier pigeons, those pigeons often have shouldered some missions, flying from this end to that end, back and forth I don't know how many times, passed on an unknown amount of information. Because it runs a lot, the meat is tight and not greasy at all. I don't know how long it takes to train such a carrier pigeon, so the price is ridiculously expensive. Fang Xiaoyu instantly opened a serious nonsense mode.
Carrier pigeons are such a thing, it takes a lot of time to cultivate, who will take the carrier pigeon to stir-fry?
Even if the master behind Piaoxiangzhai is Princess Qian, and the family has a lot of gold, she will not lose the carrier pigeon and roast it, and make it a signature dish.
The more Xiao Jin listened, the colder his body became. Obviously, the weather has not yet reached the time of snow, but it feels like it is buried in an ice cave, and it hurts for a while.
No matter how he doesn't go through the world, he should know that Fang Xiaoyu has something to say. She specifically mentioned why the carrier pigeon was, and he didn't believe that she was just saying it casually.
He also said just now that he had received a flying pigeon herald, and the other party wanted to eat the carrier pigeon in a blink of an eye. If he didn't think about it, how could he be worthy of his clever brain.
Xiao Jin was just about to say something when there was a knock on the door of the compartment. Fang Xiaoyu didn't change his posture, but just said softly, 'Come in', and the shopkeepers were in groups of four or five, and one person entered the room with two dishes in his hand.
When the dishes were set on the table, the wine was poured into the glasses, the shopkeepers had already left the room, and the shopkeeper carefully placed the last dish in the middle of the table, and there was an iron plate made of silver on the plate, so that people could not see what was put in it.
The shopkeeper said 'slow use' and left, and no one was allowed to approach the surroundings of the compartment. Fang Xiaoyu finally got up at this time, and took away the silver plate with his own hands that was buttoned on the big dish in the middle, revealing the contents inside. A small honey-roasted pigeon, golden in color, looks like a great appetite.
Xiao Jin instantly felt disgusted. Even though he is quite fond of food such as roast pigeon on weekdays, he only feels acid in his stomach at the moment.
Obviously it was just a pigeon, no poison, no strange ingredients, the fragrance wafting out made people appetite, and it looked no different from the honey pigeon of Piaoxiangzhai, but he just felt nauseous for a while, and wanted to throw the pigeon out of sight along the window, out of sight.
"You don't want to eat?" Fang Xiaoyu's eyes flashed with an indescribable meaning, which made people chill in Xiao Jin's eyes.
"You already knew...... Xiao Jin said and paused, but he couldn't say anything more.
The carrier pigeon, which he had just flown short, had become a delicacy on the dinner plate at the moment, and the shame and fear that everything in his body, including his soul, had been exposed to people, made him dumb and speechless at this moment.
The finished product on the plate is indistinguishable from that of an ordinary pigeon, and even the most well-eyed person cannot tell its appearance from its bare body.
However, Fang Xiaoyu wanted him to see it, so the lifelike pigeon carved out of various vegetables and fruits on the plate fell into his eyes. The letterhead on the pigeon's leg was also perfectly restored, as well as a pinch of blue feathers on the pigeon's neck, all of which were completely carved out, and he couldn't recognize it or not.
"I've always thought too much, especially when I'm in an alliance with someone, the most unsightly thing is the villain who broke the covenant and stuck a knife in my back." Fang Xiaoyu smiled and picked up the dishes and chopsticks, picked up a piece of pigeon meat and put it in her mouth, the crispy taste that melted in her mouth made her squint her eyes with enjoyment.
It wasn't until this moment that Xiao Jin really sighed at the prey-like chill that was really being targeted by the hunter.
Every time he saw Fang Xiaoyu, the other party always didn't look serious, maybe it was a joke, maybe it was a little threatening, but that's all. This is the first time to really warn him and deter him.
In such a direct and brutal way. At the same time that the carrier pigeon became her mouth, he seemed to see himself who had almost made a mistake, just like this pigeon, obliterated, devoured, and there was not even a residue left.
"Your Royal Highness the Frost King, you have made me nervous for a long time, for fear that there will be branches outside the festival, which will be time-consuming and laborious, and most importantly, troublesome." Fang Xiaoyu ate the meal by herself, and if she didn't eat or sleep, she couldn't get a little bit of reflection in her.
"Speaking of which, I didn't gain much from helping you calculate other people and help you get closer to that dragon chair, and I had to bother and work hard to run around, make false promises to people everywhere, and have to guard against other people's calculations. What do you think I'm trying to do? Fang Xiaoyu also looked aggrieved.
"At this time, if I am stabbed in the back by the person I am helping again, I am afraid that my young and fragile heart will suffer a devastating blow, and I will never recover, and I will no longer believe that there is true love in the world, wouldn't it be a loss to my wife and a soldier?" Fang Xiaoyu's aggrieved tone, but unfortunately the action of eating and drinking food has not stopped, if it weren't for Xiao Jindu's habit of speaking in this tone and posture, I'm afraid it would have confused her thoughts.
Xiao Jin didn't say a word, only looked at Fang Xiaoyu with an extremely complicated look, the light outside the window passed through the room and spilled all over the ground, the woman who looked petite and delicate said those extremely terrible words with the most ordinary posture.
Fang Xiaoyu watched Xiao Jin staring at her so intently, drank the wine in the cup in one gulp, put down the dishes and chopsticks, and said charmingly at Xiao Jin: "His Royal Highness the Frost King doesn't have to worry, for the sake of that person being your biological father, and for the sake of your mother and concubine being the descendant of Chai Zhao, I allow them to make one or two self-righteous mistakes." Si Ci didn't take this matter to heart, so they will still be alive to welcome the day when you ascend to the throne. It's just that you can't do it again and again, although it's not good to control the elders too much, but you still have to remind them that young people's tempers have always been short-tempered, and patience still needs to be honed, even if the limit of my tolerance for Chai Zhao's descendants is greater than that of others, there is a limit after all. ”
Fang Xiaoyu's tone was neither fast nor slow, as if the teacher in a private school was reading the books left by the sage. But at this moment, Xiao Jin felt an unprecedented cold killing machine coming to his face, and this beautiful face smiling in the sun was deeply engraved in his heart.
He didn't ignore Fang Xiaoyu's words, let alone the content contained in those words.
For his father's sake, she said, he knew that she knew all of his background. She knew him far better than he could have imagined.
Fortunately, this kind of depressing breathlessness had already been experienced by him many years ago, so this time he would be relieved more quickly than the previous one. He was glad that he still had the ability to think.
Being able to resist blows in this way may prove that he is fit to be an emperor.
"When did you find out about my origins?" Xiao Jin smiled without embarrassment, but even he found that his smile was more ugly than crying.
"That day, I heard you tell the truth about the shocking destruction in King Mu's mansion, so I guessed a few points, and asked someone to check it, although there are a lot of various rumors about you in the outside world, but it still can't escape the eyes of people with hearts." Fang Xiaoyu wouldn't tell him that at the beginning, she suspected his life experience entirely because she had a rich imagination, even if she had just said those words, she was actually just lying to him.
I have to say that those two people protected this secret very well. Coupled with the various versions of the rumors about Xiao Jin's life experience that they themselves put out, even if someone suspects something, I am afraid that they will not be able to find out why.
Unless there is conclusive evidence, everything can be pushed to the rumors to explain.
And the so-called decisive evidence, that is, Fang Xiaoyu himself, can't be found.
Don't look at what she just said is scary, but in fact, as long as Xiao Jin makes up her mind to deny it, or it is indeed her guess that she is wrong, then the person who will face embarrassment in the end is actually her.
However, Xiao Jin played a big role in her identification. Among them, 700 years ago, when she was Wen Yingzi, her desperate and decisive influence had a profound impact on him.
In addition, the unlucky carrier pigeon that was captured alive and roasted also became Fang Xiaoyu's accomplice, further impacting Xiao Jin's slightly relaxed heart after making the decision just now.
And the secret of his life is the biggest and deepest secret in his heart.
He called the old man on the dragon chair, but in fact, it was the child born to his mother and someone else.
He still has the blood of the royal Xiao family, but what flows on his body is not the blood of the person who keeps calling his father, but the blood of the illegitimate son who was looked down upon, deceived, robbed of his beloved woman, and forced to become a madman.
He was the brother of the old emperor, but he did not get the status he deserved. He tried his best to kill the shock, but when he returned, he had to face the resentment of the girl he loved most when she became someone else's wife.
Everyone thinks he's crazy, but no one knows him. He was sober, more sober than anyone else, more sober than he was at any other time.
Pretending to be crazy and stupid is to stay alive and leave this life. Not afraid of life and death, he was unwilling to be toyed with by that person under applause, so many, many years later, when he was slack, he secretly met with the woman he loved the most, leaving behind their own children.
The old emperor's old son was nothing more than a green hat. And His Royal Highness the Frost King, who is delicate and uninhibited in the eyes of outsiders, the reason why he wants to get the throne is just to make this bad breath for his biological parents. (To be continued.) )
