Chapter 207: The Great Prince, Another Successor?
"This, isn't this the eldest prince who has traveled abroad? How did he come back all of a sudden. ”
"The eldest prince has always disliked fighting for power, why did he come back this time?"
"The lord of the country was just about to pass on the throne, and the eldest prince appeared, and this timing was too coincidental."
"Maybe our ruthless and desireless prince will go out and figure it out."
"Xiu'er, you're finally back." The lord of the country put the jade seal aside, stepped down from the high platform, and asked affectionately.
For this eldest son who is not by his side all the year round, He Zhangyun loves it very much. Therefore, when they saw him returning, they did not care about anything else.
"Yes, Father, I'm back." The eldest prince took a few steps forward and respectfully bowed to Hezhangyun.
"Little Liu, come and meet your eldest brother." Hezhangyun beckoned to the spruce trees on the side.
"Brother Emperor, long time no see." Spruce didn't have much affection for this big prince who suddenly appeared, and his expression was light.
The eldest brother is more than ten years older than Spruce, and when Spruce was still very young, he traveled with the wanderers, and he rarely came back on weekdays, and he only asked about the court, today is so sudden, and it also prevented the inheritance of his father from being located in me, although Spruce didn't think much about it, but he was also a little unhappy in his heart.
When the three of Spruce were "brothers, friends, brothers", Miao Miao was looking at the man behind the eldest prince.
The man gave Miao Miao a sense of danger. The man stood beside the eldest prince, exuding a cold aura all over his body, looking out of place, which was not like the temperament that ordinary nobles could have.
"Who is this?" He Zhangyun noticed the man's presence and asked.
This man is extraordinary at first glance, is he the prince and grandson of another country?
"Father, he is a friend I made during my travels in other countries. He is Xiao Xiao. The eldest prince introduced.
"Xiao Xiao?" He Zhangyun pondered for a moment, as far as he knew, among the four countries, there was no big family surnamed Xiao, could it be from a small principality?
"Hello Lord." Xiao Xiao nodded at the lord of the country.
"This is the Sixth Emperor Brother that Ah Xiu often mentions, and he is really personable and talented as he said." Xiao Xiao looked at the spruce carefully, and his eyes flashed.
Although I don't know what Xiao Xiao was thinking about this sudden appearance, Miao Miao still subconsciously stood in front of Spruce and looked at Xiao Xiao defensively.
"Who is this?" Xiao Xiao looked at Miao Miao who appeared in front of him and wondered.
"She's my fiancée, Miao Miao." Spruce said.
"The fiancée of the sixth prince is really good-looking, really enviable." Xiao Xiao was very surprised, there was such a gorgeous woman in this crane country, which made him impressed.
"It's rare for Xiu'er to come back, let's go back to the palace and have a good chat." He Zhangyun was very happy that his eldest son had returned, so he proposed to return to the palace immediately.
Miao Miao frowned on the side, this country lord saw his eldest son, and he didn't even care about the spruce country lord inheritance.
He Zhangyun didn't think so, in his opinion, this eldest son had no ambition to fight for power and profit, plus the rest of the competing princes were removed, so now only the sixth prince is the only heir. Although this succession ceremony was interrupted, in his opinion, the result would be the same if the ceremony was not held. In short, it can't threaten Xiaoliu's status, and the lord of the country doesn't think deeply.
Everyone returned to the palace, and after some greetings, the eldest prince Heyunxiu took Xiao Xiao back to the prince's mansion on the grounds that he was tired from the journey. Miao Miao and the others also said goodbye to the lord and left.
The Grand Prince's Mansion.
"Xiao Xiao, thanks to your reminder that day, otherwise, when we rush back, I'm afraid everything will be a foregone conclusion." He Yunxiu said gratefully.
"You said before that you, the six princes, are silent and weak, and when you see them today, that's not the case." Xiao Xiao said.
Why can a person make such a big change in a short period of time?
"I'm also wondering. I was on the road today, and I guessed that the person who had the last laugh this time was the fourth brother, but I didn't expect it to be the sixth brother. He Yunxiu said.
The rest of the princes, the forces under their hands and their own strength are thousands of times better than the six princes, how can they suddenly lose so badly. If it weren't for their own mistakes, then how much strength and stratagonism would this sixth brother need to do this.
He Yunxiu felt that he couldn't see through him more and more.
"It seems that there must be someone behind you, the Sixth Emperor Brother, to help, maybe, this person is the person I am looking for." Xiao Xiao said.
"Oh? The helper behind the Sixth Emperor Brother is your enemy? He Yunxiu asked.
"That's right. The only one who can make the six princes have such a big change is him. He Yunxiu said.
"Xiao Xiao, don't worry, your enemy is my enemy, and I will definitely help you. I hope what you say counts. He Yunxiu said.
"Rest assured. I will definitely do it for you to become emperor. Xiao Xiao smiled and reassured Heyun Xiu.
"However, now I have to bother Yun Xiu to inquire if there are any strangers who have suddenly appeared around the six princes recently. Or who you are closer to. It is best to investigate the fiancée of the sixth prince. Xiao Xiao said.
That woman, the feeling he gave was so strange. It's just the first time they've met, but there's a feeling of rivalry, which makes people very disgusted.
"Do you also think that the fiancée of the Sixth Emperor Brother is a little strange?" Crane Cloud Xiu asked.
"That's right, she feels very bad, and she appears at such a critical moment, so it is necessary to check the details." Xiao Xiao said.
"At least, I've never heard of the Sixth Emperor's brother and his fiancée, this woman suddenly appeared, it must have something to do with the throne." Tsuru said. "I'll send someone to investigate tomorrow."
"Okay." Xiao Xiao nodded. "It's not early, I'll go and rest first."
The Six Princes' Annex.
"Spruce, what do you think of today's events?" Miao Miao asked.
"The timing of the appearance of the eldest brother is too coincidental, and one has to wonder if he did it on purpose. The purpose is to prevent me from ascending to the throne, but why is that? Spruce put down the teacup in his hand and pondered.
With the character of the eldest royal brother, who is indifferent to fame and fortune, he definitely doesn't want to ascend to the position of the lord of the country, why did he do this?
"See the man who appeared next to him today?" Miao Miao asked.
"See, that man named Xiao Xiao." Spruce replied.
"That man, martial arts are very strong, very powerful. And it's unpredictable. If he assists your eldest brother behind his back, I'm afraid he will be very ambitious. Miao Miao said.
"But." Spruce didn't believe that the eldest brother would also be interested in the throne.
"Spruce, people change. What's more, it's in the big dye vat of the palace. Miao Miao said.
I saw the eldest prince for the first time today, and looking at the humble and friendly attitude of the eldest prince on the surface, Miao Miao didn't think that he was really as he appeared. This person must be very deep in the city, presumably what kind of idle clouds and wild cranes, indifferent to fame and fortune, are all used to confuse everyone and confuse the public.
This person used the illusion to deceive everyone for so many years, and alleviated the hostility of the other princes, but this disguise was very successful.
"Then Yi Miaomiao, what should we do?" Spruce asked.
"The top priority is to get the lord of the kingdom to recognize your status as the crown prince as soon as possible, and then pass it on to you. As long as your identity is confirmed, I have a way to make this great prince unable to make any waves. Miao Miao said.
"So, let's go to see my father tomorrow?" Spruce asked. "Father's residual poison is still unclear, so we can take this opportunity."
"Okay, then let's enter the palace early tomorrow morning." Miao Miao said.
"Everything listens to Miao Miao." Spruce smiled in obedience.
"Then I'll go back to my room first." Miao Miao stood up and waved goodbye.
"This man has finally appeared." Miao Miao put her hands behind her head and lay on the bed and muttered to herself.
Miao Miao has been in this ancient plane for so long, in addition to doing tasks, just to kill another inheritor. But no matter how Miao Miao tried to test the staff around the rest of the princes, she didn't react. Miao Miao was still puzzled at the beginning, could it be that there was something wrong with this plane system, so there was only one successor to herself.
It was not until today that Miao Miao saw Xiao Xiao that Miao Miao knew that it was not that there was no other successor to this plane, but that he had not yet encountered it.
With his help, the eldest prince must be the lord of the country is also their goal, but I don't know how many means this man has.
"Why don't you go and explore tonight?" Miao Miao rolled over and sat up, thinking about the feasibility of this move.
"No, I don't know where the eldest prince's mansion is, so forget it. I'll wait for the guards to inquire about it tomorrow. Miao Miao was helpless, so she could only lie on the bed again and slowly fall asleep.
Early in the morning of the second day, Spruce and Miao Miao came to the palace in a carriage.
"I'm tired of my father-in-law." Ah Da stepped forward and said to his father-in-law at the gate of the lord's bedroom.
"The lord of the country has ordered, I won't see the guests for the time being, the six princes and the six princesses should please go back." The father-in-law at the door said politely.
"Why is that?" Miao Miao wondered.
Yesterday was fine, why is it missing today, could it be that the spruce offended the lord of the country? Or something else.
"I also asked my father-in-law to report it, and said that the spruce had come to treat my father's illness." When spruce heard his father-in-law's answer, he couldn't help frowning and said again.
"This." The father-in-law guarding the door was very embarrassed, his eyes involuntarily looked inside the door, and then looked at the spruce with an apologetic face.
"Is there anyone in there?" Spruce asked.
Spruce looked at his father-in-law's appearance, presumably there were already people in his father's bedroom, and because of the people inside, he didn't let himself in. Who can enter the palace early in the morning?
"Don't be embarrassed by the six princes, let's ask the two of you to go back." The father-in-law bent over with a sad face.
"My father-in-law is serious, and the six princes and I are just curious." Miao Miao took a few steps forward and handed a piece of gold to the father-in-law guarding the door without a trace. "Please also let me know the two of you, we won't say it."
"This." The father-in-law shook the weight in his hand, and his heart was overjoyed, but he still hesitated.
"My father-in-law must have worked hard standing at the door, this little thing, my father-in-law should take it for recreation." Miao Miao handed over a piece of gold again and handed it to her father-in-law.
"The Sixth Imperial Concubine is really kind-hearted." The father-in-law who guarded the door couldn't open his eyes with a smile.
"It's not a secret, early this morning, the eldest prince brought a prince Xiao Xiao into the palace to face the saint. That Xiao Xiao Gongzi is also a powerful person, and he can see at a glance that the emperor is unwell, and said that there is a way to treat the emperor. However, this healing process should not be disturbed, so the emperor ordered that no one should be allowed to approach the dormitory, and no one was allowed to break in. Father-in-law said. The minions did not intend to stop the six princes and the six imperial concubines, it was really difficult to disobey the emperor's order. ”
"Father-in-law doesn't have to be like this, I'm in a hurry. Since my father has the eldest brother to heal, then I am relieved. I hope that my father-in-law will not tell my father about what we have been here today, so I will leave first. Spruce said.
"The six princes can rest assured, the old slave understands." The father-in-law put the gold in his arms and assured.
"Miao Miao, you say, who is this Xiao Xiao? I can actually see that my father has been poisoned, and he can also detoxify. Spruce wondered.
At first, Spruce just thought that the man who followed the eldest brother was just a wealthy son. I didn't expect him to be so powerful. The medical skills that are more powerful than the imperial doctor, except for Miao Miao, are the only ones.
"Speaking of which, Miao Miao and him are really a little similar." Spruce said casually.
"What do you mean by that?" Miao Miao chuckled in her heart and asked calmly.
"Miao Miao and he both have great medical skills, and they have the same feeling in their bodies. It's as if the two of them are from the same place. Spruce said.
"This Xiao Xiao may be Miao Miao's relative." Spruce joked.
After Spruce finished speaking, seeing that Miao Miao didn't speak, the scene was very embarrassing for a while.
"Miao Miao, why don't you speak? I won't be right by me, that Xiao Xiao is really Miao Miao's relative, right? Spruce asked.
"How could I be related to him. I was just thinking about the eldest prince's motive for bringing Xiao Xiao into the palace, so I was distracted. Miao Miao replied.
Miao Miao didn't notice when this spruce had been observed so carefully. From the same place? That's right, at least neither of them belongs to this plane, and both have the identity of heirs, so it's not an exaggeration to say that the two are similar.
"I see." Spruce said. "But the eldest brother entered the palace to see his father so early, maybe he missed his father. After all, we haven't seen each other for so long, so we must have a lot to say, maybe we're thinking too much. ”
"Maybe." Miao Miao said. "By the way, what are the results of their investigation?"
"This is the information that the dark one got back, you can take a look." Spruce took out a small book of brown paper from his arms and handed it to Miao Miao.
"Origin unknown, age unknown, identity unknown, strength unknown." The more Miao Miao looked, the tighter her brows became. "Except for the investigation that this Xiao Xiao appeared on the border of the Crane Country three months ago and became acquainted with the eldest prince who had returned, nothing else was known. What is the use of such information? (To be continued.) )
