In the splendid hall, the third prince, Ning Junqi, slowly bowed to the emperor sitting on the dragon chair.

"Father, although Commander Xiao is guilty now, the matter of the future heir of the Dingguo General's Mansion is also a big deal, why don't you bring Commander Xiao out first, and then continue to investigate the corruption of Commander Xiao after this matter is over?"

Hearing Ning Junqi's words, the emperor looked at the general of Dingguo sitting below, showed a contemplative look, and then raised his head and asked the general of Dingguo: "Ah He, what do you think about this matter?" ”

I saw the general of Dingguo stand up, his majestic face drooped slightly, and said respectfully to the emperor: "Weichen obeys His Majesty's arrangement. ”

The ball was kicked back and forth and finally returned to his feet, and the emperor thought for a while, and then commanded the great eunuch who was standing respectfully on his side: "Go and bring Xiao Hao out." ”

The big eunuch said "yes" respectfully, and before he could turn around and leave, the emperor shouted: "Wait." ”

"Let's go and call Xiaohua Lady and the prince and the others again." After the emperor said this, he waved his hand at the great eunuch.

The great eunuch respectfully retreated.

While everyone was waiting, inside the dungeon.

Lord Song once again appeared in the small black room where Xiao Hao was being held.

"How? Has Lord Xiao Hao thought it through? The sooner you confess your sins, the less you will be able to suffer! ”

But Xiao Hao sat in the corner of the wall, even though he was already covered with scars, after hearing Lord Song's words, he still closed his eyes, completely treating Lord Song as air.

Seeing that he was being ignored like this, Lord Song couldn't help but sink a little in his eyes, and said gloomily: "Xiao Hao, don't be embarrassed, it's been so long, if you don't agree, don't blame me for not showing mercy." ”

Xiao Hao slowly opened his eyes and looked at Lord Song not far away with a cold expression.

Even if he was in the boundless darkness, Xiao Hao's body still had an aura that people didn't dare to violate easily, and that boundless momentum rushed towards Lord Song, and in an instant, Lord Song felt as if he was in a dark net, unable to move.

Just when Lord Song felt that he was overwhelmed, Xiao Hao slowly removed his eyes: "I said it, I didn't embezzle the disaster relief money, and naturally I won't admit my guilt, no matter how many times you ask, there will only be this one answer." ”

Lord Song wiped the cold sweat from the corners of his forehead, looked at Xiao Hao's eyes fierce and weak-hearted, and said viciously to the servant standing beside him: "Since his bones are so hard, then give him a few more punishments, I want to see how hard his hard bones are." ”

When the official heard this, he immediately picked up a piece of carbon that was being placed in the brazier and slowly walked towards Xiao Hao, who was sitting in the corner, with a cruel smile on his face.

Xiao Hao looked at the official who was slowly approaching him, with no emotion on his face, as if he was not the one who was about to face the punishment.

Just as the official was about to touch his clothes, a chaotic footstep slowly approached, and then a voice appeared in the room: "My lord, Lord Song, someone has come to the palace." ”

The eyes of everyone in the small black room fell on that person, except for Xiao Hao.

When Lord Song heard the man's words, his face was a little more suspicious, and then he cast an inquiring glance at the man: "Someone from the palace, can you see who it is?" ”

I saw the man say excitedly: "My lord, it's the big eunuch in the palace, that is, the big eunuch next to him." ”

Hearing that person's words, not only Lord Song, but even Xiao Hao's eyes moved unconsciously, looking at the person who was speaking.

I saw that Lord Song's expression was also unconsciously excited, someone came to the palace? Could it be that His Majesty knows about his outstanding performance in official duties, so he wants to reward himself?

Thinking like this, Lord Song's face unconsciously flushed, and then he straightened his clothes, raised his feet and was about to walk outside.

Unknowingly, the man continued: "This father-in-law said that he was going to take Xiao Hao away, saying that the one in the palace wanted to see him. ”

As soon as the words fell, Lord Song's face became stiff, and then he turned to look at Xiao Hao, who was covered in scars, and couldn't help but worry: "See Xiao Hao?!" Want it now? ”

I don't know why Lord Song suddenly became so excited, but the man still nodded at Lord Song.

Lord Song, who got an affirmative answer, seemed to have gotten some kind of thunderbolt, it was the third prince who said that it was impossible for Xiao Hao to go out, and he let him use whatever means he wanted, but now that Xiao Hao has only been locked in for a long time, why is he going out? At the beginning, His Majesty specially ordered him not to hurt Xiao Hao in the slightest, but now he is ......

When the emperor saw Xiao Hao, it was his own death, thinking about it like this, Lord Song's face was pale, what should he do? You can't stop Xiao Hao from letting him meet, right?

Just when Lord Song was entangled, a person who was finely dressed, holding a whisk, and had a treacherous voice appeared in the room: "I'm here to see Lord Xiao Xiao, Lord Xiao is locked up in this direction, right?" ”

The voice of the big eunuch appeared in the room like this, and after the big eunuch looked around, after seeing the embarrassed and scarred Xiao Hao in the room, he couldn't help but exclaim: "Lord Song! What's going on? Why is Lord Xiao all covered in scars?! I hope you can give me a satisfactory explanation! ”

Hearing the voice of the great eunuch, Lord Song's body shrank for a moment, and he didn't speak for a long time, and the big eunuch's brows wrinkled unconsciously.

At this moment, Xiao Hao suddenly spoke: "Aren't you going to meet the emperor?" My father-in-law will take me to wash up and change my clothes first, if I want to see the emperor, I can't be as sloppy as I was just now, I don't know what to do. ”

Hearing Xiao Hao's words, the big eunuch also nodded approvingly, although Lord Xiao Hao was hurt, but after all, he still can't let the emperor worry about himself, after all, the emperor's health has not been good during this time, what if the emperor starts to blame himself in his heart again, what can he do?

So the big eunuch nodded, and after slanting a glance at Lord Song, who was trembling on the side, he left with Xiao Hao.

Standing in place, Lord Song only felt that his future life was dark, and there was no bright future.

On the other side, Hang Yidong also took a sedan chair to the front of the palace, looking at the solemn palace, Hang Yidong's heart surged with an unknown emotion, although she didn't know why the emperor suddenly asked her to enter the palace, but she believed that it must be related to Xiao Hao's matter.

Several possibilities flashed through Hang Yidong's mind, and then Hang Yidong shook his head slightly, throwing all those mixed thoughts out of his head, and then raised his feet to prepare to enter the palace.

But just as Hang Yidong was about to raise his feet to enter, there was a sound of horses behind him.

Hang Yidong and Shenyue Meteor asked in the direction of the sound together, and saw a sedan chair that looked very quaint, but actually cost a lot of money, and slowly appeared in front of Hang Yidong.

I saw a pair of white jade-like hands gently open the curtain, and everyone's eyes were unconsciously attracted by the pair of slender hands, and unconsciously imagined what kind of elegant character the owner of these beautiful hands would be.

However, in the next second, the curtain was completely opened, and a familiar face appeared in everyone's eyes.

"Brother?" Hang Yidong couldn't help but murmur softly.

I saw Hang Yixuan slowly get down from the sedan chair, and then stood aside, as if waiting for someone, and then saw another person walking down from the sedan chair, and that person died His Royal Highness the Prince.

When Ning Junhao and Hang Yixuan finished sorting out their clothes, they saw Hang Yidong who was looking in their direction, the two were stunned, and then walked quickly in the direction of Hang Yidong.

Seeing his sister staying at the gate of the palace, Hang Yixuan couldn't help but ask with concern, "Sister, why are you staying here alone?" Is it ......?"

Hang Yidong nodded at the prince and Hang Yixuan, and then said, "Yes, Your Majesty wants to see me." ”

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Hang Yixuan glanced at each other together, and they saw the solemnity and incomprehension in their eyes, before being announced into the palace by the emperor, the prince got a message from Xizuo, saying that today the third prince Ning Junqi brought a delicate-looking man into the palace, and I heard that the exquisite-looking man also made a fuss in front of the Dingguo General's Mansion, and it also caused a lot of commotion, and then, I don't know what the two said to the emperor, and the emperor also announced the Dingguo General into the palace.

Originally, when they received the news that the emperor announced that they had entered the palace, they were still guessing why the emperor saw them, but now they saw that Hang Yidong was actually here, and the feeling of uneasiness in their hearts became more and more obvious.

Then the three of them walked hand in hand and walked into the palace together, and as they walked, the three of them were also talking.

I could only hear Hang Yidong's voice slowly sounding: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, have you had any news from anywhere?" ”

The prince looked at Hang Yidong, and saw that Hang Yidong was looking at him with inquiring eyes, so the prince said: "It's nothing, the news you got should be similar to what I got, or even a little more than me, after all, that person paid for trouble by the general of Dingguo, but it was seen by many people?" Tell us what happened. ”

Hearing the prince's words, Hang Yidong pursed his lips slightly, and then said: "It's nothing, I was checking things outside at the time, and I wasn't in the General's Mansion, but when I went back, I vaguely heard something about the bloodline mentioned by the next person." ”

After a while, they arrived in front of the main hall, and everyone's expressions were solemn, and the atmosphere became solemn.
