Zhao Hongxing did not sit directly in his seat, but first ran to the eldest prince and sat down.

The eldest prince of Yanfeng, Zhao Hongming, is Zhao Hongxing's eldest brother in this world. Zhao Hongming is not Zhao Zongyang's son, but

Zhao Zongyang's eldest brother and the son of Zhao Hongxing's imperial uncle Zhao Zongyun.

Zhao Hongming, who is already eighteen years old, is the eldest of these royal children, while Zhao Hongxing, who is only eight years old, is the youngest.

"Are you looking for me for that assassin's business?" As soon as Zhao Hongxing sat down, Zhao Hongming looked at this little brother with a smile and said.

Because of their age, Zhao Hongming and Zhao Hongxing don't usually see each other often. There is such a rule in the Yanfeng royal family, as long as he is at least fifteen years old, the prince can go out to run errands or go out on his own to practice. Therefore, in recent years, Zhao Hongxing has not often seen this big prince.

Although they don't meet often, Zhao Hongxing has a very good relationship with this big brother. Don't look at the eldest prince who has only reached the age of eighteen, but he already has a grand momentum very similar to that of Emperor Zhao Zongyang. When he was with Zhao Hongming, Zhao Hongxing didn't feel like getting along with teenagers at all, but he could get a very down-to-earth and reassuring feeling in Zhao Hongming.

Sure enough, excellent people have an excellent appearance no matter how old they are. failed to compare with a teenager in terms of mature temperament, which made Zhao Hongxing feel very ashamed. But Zhao Hongxing is optimistic that this is also a good thing, with such a reliable big brother, he will have another layer of protection for his leisurely life in the future.

"The eldest brother is so powerful, you don't need the younger brother to say it. Zhao Hongxing subconsciously began to compliment, in front of people whose aura is more than his own, Zhao Hongxing will always unconsciously become like this.

"What's amazing, you have nothing to do in the past two days and run to his yard to ask if he is there, a fool can see what you want to ask him. The five princesses sitting behind Zhao Hongming rolled their eyes and said.

Yanfeng's five princesses, Zhao Zhongling, are Zhao Hongxing's fifth sister in this world. Like Zhao Hongming, Zhao Zhongling is also Zhao Zongyun's own daughter, although she is ranked fifth, but the Yanfeng royal family is such a golden flower, Zhao Zongyang is very fond of Zhao Zhongling, Zhao Zhongling has the emperor's father to support him wherever he is wronged, so Zhao Hongxing and his brothers are very afraid of this sister.

"Fifth sister, it's true that the eldest brother is amazing, my father has let the eldest brother do a lot of things. Zhao Hongxing's compliment to Zhao Hongming is also out of sincerity, after Zhao Hongming turned fifteen years old, he was deeply valued by Zhao Zongyang. At the beginning, when there was something to be done in the court, Zhao Zongyang first assigned a good candidate, and then asked Zhao Hongming to assist in the investigation together. Until this year, Zhao Zongyang handed over some things in the court directly to Zhao Hongming and asked him to bring someone to do it himself.

"I know he's powerful, but it's not me saying you, my sixth brother," Zhao Zhongling rolled his face again, "This is your eldest brother, not your leader, why are you like seeing a cat and mouse when you see him, you haven't been so respectful when you see your father when you see your eldest brother, you know?"

"......" Zhao Hongming showed a rare speechless expression.

That's because I've spent too much time with my emperor's father, and I know very well what kind of virtue this emperor is in private. Zhao Hongxing muttered in his heart.

The reason why Zhao Hongxing thinks that his queen mother looks like a sister and doesn't look like a mother is mainly because her actions are too similar to Zhao Zhongling. Zhao Zhongling also likes her sixth brother very much, as long as she sees Zhao Hongxing, the first thing she does is to kiss him and hug him high. And Zhao Zhongling has just turned twelve years old this year, and it is the most playful time for a girl.

Because of the blood relationship between the Yanfeng royal family, the boys of the Yanfeng royal family are better at practicing boxing and foot kung fu, but Zhao Hongxing is the only exception, usually he is not just wandering around or reading books. Zhao Zhongling is also very disgusted with martial arts, and it just so happens that this younger brother is also a stable character, so Zhao Zhongling likes to play with Zhao Hongxing when he has nothing to do - or to play Zhao Hongxing. painted red makeup on Zhao Hongxing's braids, Zhao Zhongling completely played with her younger brother as a Barbie doll. It is also strange that Zhao Hongxing's little face with fine skin and tender flesh feels really good, once when Zhao Zhongling "put on makeup" to Zhao Hongxing, he bumped into the queen's wife, and the queen actually happily played with Zhao Zhongling.

Only when Zhao Hongxing was reading a book, Zhao Zhongling would not bother him, but obediently found a romance novel, sat next to Zhao Hongxing and looked seriously.

Books are truly a treasure that saves people's hearts.

"Okay, okay, let me feel my brother's worship once in a while. Zhao Hongming didn't dare to talk back to his own sister, so he could only make a mistake first, and then said to Zhao Hongxing, "Actually, we already have good news about catching the assassin." ”

"Good news so soon?" Zhao Zhongling was surprised first.

"What, what's the good news?" Zhao Hongxing said he was looking forward to.

"Now that we have found out who the assassin is and where he is, I am about to take the man. Zhao Hongming said.

"Then, why don't you catch him? Aren't you afraid that he will run away?" Zhao Hongxing asked.

This is strange, why haven't you caught the person back when you know where the person is? Hongyi is still waiting for a life-saving antidote.

"This man said that he could catch at any time, and if he wanted to run, it was impossible. Zhao Hongming shook his head with a smile, "However, in the process of investigation, there are still many details that have not been investigated, so this person can't move for the time being." ”

"That means that this assassin is still under secret surveillance?" After Zhao Zhongling finished asking this question, he saw Zhao Hongming nodding and smiled, "Big brother, then you can tell us so, don't be afraid of leaking the news." ”

"Uh......" I didn't expect Zhao Zhongling to suddenly say this, and Zhao Hongming was obviously stunned. The third prince and the fourth prince, who were stretching their necks and unconcealing that they were eavesdropping, immediately sat up straight, as if nothing had happened just now.

"Hey, what are you pretending, if this person runs away, do you two know that you two are the most suspicious!?" Zhao Zhongling didn't let go of the third prince and the fourth prince at all, and directly named the two of them.

Hearing Zhao Zhongling say this, the third prince and the fourth prince shrank their necks and quickly shook their heads.

"Okay, fifth sister, don't always joke about your brothers. Zhao Hongming hurriedly stopped Zhao Zhongling's behavior of "buttoning his hat", and she was the only one here who dared to joke like this.

"Then, what else hasn't been investigated?" Zhao Hongxing just wanted to arrest people quickly, this assassin is now like a medicine primer for Hongyi's antidote, he can't do it without him.

"Wait a minute, my brother and you will talk in private. Zhao Hongming pointed to the door of the hall, Zhao Zongyang and Xiao Biqiao walked in, and a woman who looked very dignified walked in with Xiao Biqiao's arm.

Le Aya, who had been waiting expectantly for a long time, saw this woman, and the expression on her face immediately jumped with joy, if it wasn't for the teacher standing aside and holding her down in time, it is estimated that she would be so happy that she would have jumped up.

"Well, it looks like my sons and daughters are all here, come on, let's have a meal together!" Zhao Zongyang saw that everyone was complete, so he ordered the banquet to begin.

Yan Feng pays attention to the meal system, and everyone has their own seat, so Zhao Hongxing hurriedly returned to his place from Zhao Hongming. After everyone sat down, Zhao Zongyang introduced everyone to the woman who came in with the queen's arm just now.

Princess Dadu, Rong Changxuan, Le Aya's biological mother, and Zhao Zongyang's distant cousin, the children here should call her cousin in private.

Zhao Hongxing now understands that Le Aya is looking forward to someone outside the door with an expectant face, and he is looking forward to the arrival of his own mother.

It is very rare for the prince's concubine to enter Beijing alone, but since he came, the royal family must be well entertained. Rong Changxuan's seat was arranged next to Xiao Biqiao, at this time, Xiao Biqiao was introducing the princes and princesses present to her one by one, and when the introduction came to Zhao Hongxing, Rong Changxuan nodded to Zhao Hongxing with satisfaction for some reason.

Speaking of this princess of Dadu, it is really the temperament of a member of the royal family, needless to say that she is very beautiful, just that dignified and elegant appearance looks very noble. Rong Changxuan and the queen Xiao Biqiao next to her, these two women of the same age, the former looks like a charming young woman, while the latter looks like a little girl who is in middle school.

I'm also boasting about my mother's youth. complained about Xiao Biqiao, Zhao Hongxing silently recited in his heart.

Rong Changxuan seems to be younger than Xiao Biqiao, because when Zhao Hongxing heard the two chatting just now, Rong Changxuan called Xiao Biqiao "sister".

After introducing the children present, Xiao Biqiao beckoned to the restless Le Aya who was sitting on the side, "Come here, you see you can't sit still." ”

As soon as Xiao Biqiao finished speaking, Le Aya immediately ran and jumped two or three steps into Rong Changxuan's arms.

"Mother, I miss you so much. After being hugged by Rong Changxuan, Le Aya's eyes immediately turned red.

"Look at this, like a little crazy girl. Rong Changxuan smiled apologetically at Zhao Zongyang and Xiao Biqiao, then lowered her head and touched her daughter's long hair lovingly, and said, "Okay, you've only been away from home for a few days, so don't make a fuss." Mother will be here for a while. Let's be happy together today, okay?"

"Hmm......" Le Aya sniffed and obediently looked up in agreement.

"Okay, Xiao Aya'er don't go back to her seat to eat, sit next to your mother today, okay?" Xiao Biqiao said to Le Aya, and glanced at Zhao Zongyang after speaking.

"Hmm. Zhao Zongyang nodded very knowingly.

——————————

Zhao Hongxing ate this meal very absent-mindedly, everyone was chatting happily, but he was not in the mood to participate at all. Knowing the whereabouts of the assassin but not being able to arrest him for a long time made Zhao Hongxing feel anxious. But what made him even more anxious was that Rong Changxuan looked at him when he was fine.

This is still the sight of Dao who is more satisfied the more he looks.

Zhao Hongxing, who was already in a very anxious mood, was so uncomfortable, the last time he was stared at with this kind of gaze, it was when he was stared at by the woman's mother on a blind date. But after that, my own hung up, and there was no follow-up.

After eating, after the princes all asked the elders to leave, Zhao Hongxing pulled Zhao Hongming into his courtyard.

"Why are you in such a hurry, sixth brother, if the assassin is not taken, will you be so scared that you can't sleep at night?" Zhao Hongming said helplessly when he was pulled away by Zhao Hongxing.

Zhao Hongxing didn't say anything, but silently pulled Zhao Hongming to Hongyi's room to recuperate.

"This ...... Is this the attendant who saved you? What's going on with him?" Zhao Hongming really didn't know about Hongyi's situation, so Zhao Hongxing had no choice but to tell the matter again.

However, he put aside the part that he felt was a loss to Hongyi, and did not say anything, but only said that he wanted to save this loyal servant who sacrificed his life to save the Savior.

"Hmm......" After listening to Zhao Hongxing's speech, Zhao Hongming nodded, "I didn't expect that there is still a life waiting to be saved here." ”

What Zhao Hongming didn't say was that when General Geng, who was present at the time, reported to him that the attendant who protected Zhao Hongxing was dead, after all, a child was pierced in the chest by such a thick iron needle, even if there was no needle and no poison, it was estimated that he would not survive, General Geng didn't expect Hongyi to be rescued by the Tai Hospital.

"So, when will we be able to arrest people?" Zhao Hongxing asked again, he really wanted to know where the investigation went, and Hongyi didn't know if he could hold out until that time.

"The investigation can't be considered complete yet," Zhao Hongming saw that Zhao Hongxing seemed to be more anxious when he heard him say this, and hurriedly waved his hand to signal him to continue listening, "But the arrest of people doesn't have to wait until the investigation is all over before you can do it, after all, catching this assassin is also part of the follow-up investigation." ”

"Big brother, please answer my question head-on. "Zhao Hongxing said in his heart, don't give me a lesson at this time, can't you see that I'm in a hurry?

"Ha, I can't say this well, it depends on the opinion of the princess of Dadu and our cousin. Zhao Hongxing's words made Zhao Hongming laugh.

"Princess Dadu, why is the matter of catching assassins still involved in Princess Dadu?" Zhao Hongxing didn't understand what the connection was.

"I don't know about this yet. But that's exactly what my father told me, I had to see what my cousin had before I could arrest the assassin. Zhao Hongming continued, "Actually, before we ate, my cousin talked to my father about this first. ”

"So, what did my cousin say?" Zhao Hongxing hurriedly asked.

"Don't worry, I'll go see Daddy later. Zhao Hongming touched his younger brother's head, I don't know if Zhao Zongyang will be a father, Zhao Hongxing's brothers and sisters are very numerous, "When I see my father, I will know what's going on." ”

Rong Changxuan, the princess of Dadu, had indeed met Zhao Zongyang before the luncheon, and also brought Zhao Zongyang a very secret news.

"That Hongyi is not an ordinary orphan. In the imperial study, Rong Changxuan said to Zhao Zongyang, "He was originally a child of a sect family in Dadu. ”

Zongmen is the name of the big folk family in this world, and it can generally be called a sect, not only to have a solid family background, but also to have a few martial arts masters among the people in charge of the family, and even some sects can maintain prosperity just by accepting disciples.

"That'...... Why did he become an orphan?" Xiao Biqiao asked incredulously, Hongyi is not stupid or crippled, the sect family can't be because of this abandoned him, and even if Hongyi is born a crippled doll, it is impossible for the sect to be unable to raise it.

"He didn't become an orphan because he was abandoned," Rong Changxuan said very seriously, "His sect was killed by someone." ”

"Huh?"

"OMG!"

Zhao Zongyang and Xiao Biqiao both expressed surprise to varying degrees, especially Xiao Biqiao, after exclaiming, there was a distressed look in his eyes.

"What can destroy a secular sect is not something that can be done just by having a large number of people. Zhao Zongyang said slowly, "I'm afraid, those who dare to do this are among our old acquaintances, right?"

"When we learned that this sect had been destroyed, the people sent to deal with the aftermath found Hongyi who had just been weaned in the pile of corpses. Rong Changxuan didn't answer Zhao Zongyang's words, but just said to himself, "It's not for nothing that the door was destroyed and left alive, so Hongyi was taken back to the capital city palace at that time." ”

"This sect has some friendship with the prince of my family, and it is also to mourn the dead, so we plan to accept this child as an adopted son. Rong Changxuan said this, paused, as if he couldn't believe it, and continued, "But I didn't expect that on the third day after Hongyi arrived at the palace, I didn't know who placed a package on the table in the prince's study. ”

"The package contained an ornament from my other daughter's room and a letter. Saying this, Rong Changxuan showed a frightened look.

"The letter is ...... What did you say?" Xiao Biqiao, who was infected by Rong Changxuan's emotions, held her hand and asked.

"The letter says let's send Hongyi to the woods outside the city to be killed, otherwise," Rong Changxuan breathed a sigh of relief, and saw Xiao Biqiao looking at her with encouraging eyes, so she said.

"Otherwise, take that daughter of mine and take her to the woods and kill her. ”
