"The emperor is absolutely affectionate to the smiling concubine." Nangong Meng sighed.

"Well, I heard my father say, 'I owe you so much in this life. If there is an afterlife, I hope you will be my sister and let me love you well! On the day of her mother's burial, there was a trace of gray hair on her father's head. He instructed Thick Skin to accompany him throughout the whole process, and he stayed in the Yueming Palace for a day. ”

"I heard my father say that the concubine was buried in the imperial mausoleum, and made an exception to be buried with the queen Bingruo, and the empty coffin in the middle is the emperor's final destination." Nangong Meng seemed to think of something again, "But Ah Ding, why don't you keep filial piety for your mother and concubine in the palace?" ”

"After my mother's burial, I was summoned by my father to the imperial study, and asked me to return to the Broken Intestine Cliff immediately. Chao Yu sent someone to say, three days later, there will be a competition in the Broken Intestine Cliff, I think you should go back to participate. I don't know if it's because my mother has just passed away, my father looks particularly haggard this time, and he used to be magnificent, but now he sits in that wide chair, and feels a little short. But his words still carry an irrefutable majesty. ”

Yes, Father, I will be back early tomorrow morning. I wondered in my heart, what is more important than filial piety? 'Go down!' My father stopped talking, but he looked at me deeply, waved his hand, and lowered his eyes. Thick Leather sent me to the door of the imperial study, and in a voice that only the two of them could hear, he said in a low voice, 'Take care, Third Prince! He turned and walked back. I was a little surprised, as if every time I left the palace to say goodbye to my father over the years, Thick Skin had never been so serious. But I didn't have time to think about it, so I went back to Yueming Palace to find my two younger brothers. ”

"You mean, you're back for the game?" Nangong Meng also felt weird.

"Hmm." Yu Wending didn't say anything about the game first, he only said that the three brothers were naturally sad that night. Although Yuwen Haojun and Yuwen Jiyue still didn't know that Yuwen Ding was in the Broken Intestine Cliff on weekdays, they felt that their father was in such a hurry to send him back, just to drive people away.

Although Yuwen Ding does not live in the palace, but under the tutelage of Chao Yu, he has a deep understanding of all kinds of harem, he is worried that if he smiles and leaves, these two younger brothers will be bullied if they lose their support, and repeatedly told the two to try not to provoke Mo Yu and her children, Yuwen Chirui and Yuwen Qingtian, and try to win over the condensation frost Leng Zhaoyi and his son Yuwen Nanyi.

The three of them slept in the same bed and talked until late at night......

"And I went back to the Broken Intestine Cliff to realize that I was about to participate in the life-and-death elimination tournament." Seeing that Nangong Meng didn't understand, Yu Wending smiled bitterly and began to explain, "This life-and-death elimination tournament is set up for children over the age of twelve, once a year, to ensure the quality of the secret guards trained by the Broken Intestine Cliff. Before the competition, all the participating children determined their opponents by drawing lots, and then entered the dense forest designated by the master to compete one-on-one. Only by killing your opponent and getting the wristband with your name on it can you get out of the jungle. If someone escapes without finishing the race, Sanssouci and the others who are guarding outside the dense forest will directly kill the escapee. ”

"Young children don't know about this competition, and only when they turn 12 will be twelve. And Wuwu and the others will clean up the dense forest afterwards, bury the dead, and claim that they have been eliminated from the Broken Intestine Cliff for some reason. ”
