As Chu Haoyu expected, even if everyone deliberately blocked the news, but in just a few days, the news of the assassination of the Holy Lord Chu Haoran has spread all over the capital, and everyone knows it, and there is even news that the time for the prince Chu Yuanbo's heart to be damaged is short, otherwise why do you mean that after so many years, I just asked the court right and wrong, and for a while, the capital was full of rumors, and the mountains and rains were about to come.

In the evening, Chu Haoyu, who had been tired all day, returned to the palace, but before he could eat the meal, Sun Hou walked in and said, "Son, the Chinese book has ordered Lord Chen to ask to see him." ”

Hearing that his father-in-law, Chen Baihan, Chu Haoyu thought for a while and opened his mouth and said, "Please." As he spoke, Chu Haoyu stood up and greeted the door.

It didn't take long for Chen Baihan to walk in, but before he could salute, Chu Haoyu held him up, and said first: "This is home, why should Uncle Yue be so vain, please." ”

Chen Baihan was obviously preoccupied and didn't say anything more, opened his mouth and said, "Go in and say." Walking into the lobby and sitting down, Chen Baihan didn't talk nonsense, and said directly: "Seventh Prince, there are new rumors in the market today, have you ever heard of it?" ”

Chu Haoyu also knows Chen Baihan well, and being able to sit in the position of Zhongshu Ling, a very human minister, is extraordinary, and when he says this, he knows that something big has happened, and he is afraid that the heavenly assassin will make a move. Thinking of this, Chu Haoyu suddenly cheered up, opened his mouth and said: "I have been so anxious by the Heavenly Thorn in the past few days that I have no time to take care of those rumors, but what can make you so anxious?" ”

Chen Baihan didn't answer immediately, stared at him for a moment to see that his expression didn't seem to be fake, and then opened his mouth and said: "This evening, the old man got the news that Lianyu is the daughter of the Xie family in Jinling, and she is a thief who is a thief of the Heavenly Thorn. ”

Hearing this news, Chu Haoyu was stunned for a moment, and then two cold lights burst out in his eyes, and he slapped the table, leaving five deep handprints on the hard pineapple wood. The spread of rumors by the Heavenly Thorn Rebel was expected by him Chu Haoyu, that is, he would not be surprised at all if he had a different heart Chu Haoyu, but what made Chu Haoyu angry was that the Heavenly Thorn Rebel Thief actually paid attention to Lianyu, which Chu Haoyu could not tolerate.

Seeing Chu Haoyu's expression, Chen Baihan seemed to know something, but he still opened his mouth and asked, "Seventh Prince, the old man asks you now, what is the identity of Lianyu?" ”

After so many years of training, even though Chu Haoyu was extremely angry, he still suppressed his anger between his breaths. After staring at his father-in-law Chen Baihan for a moment, Chu Haoyu opened his mouth and said: "Lianyu was brought into the Holy Sect by Liusong's predecessors since she was a child, she is just a poor woman, how can this king keep her safe all her life." ”

Although Chu Haoyu's voice was calm, it had an indescribable firmness, and Chen Baihan, who listened, showed a touch of brilliance in his eyes, and opened his mouth to say after a moment of silence: "The prince is really temperamental, the old man admires it, but the heavenly thorn thief deliberately spread this news, and if you think there will be a backhand, the seventh prince has to guard against it." ”

After a moment of silence, Chu Haoyu suddenly laughed, opened his mouth and said: "Ten years ago, the shadow hit Song Yue and Guo Ying, and ten years later, he still paid attention to a woman. ”

Chen Baihan nodded emphatically, but shook his head again and said: "Although this method is shameless, it is very effective, the prince should be careful." Speaking of this, after a pause, Chen Baihan got up and said at the same time: "Okay, the old man also took the time to come over and tell the prince that he would go back to the political hall. With a sigh, Chen Baihan waved his hand to signal Chu Haoyu not to send it, and walked out of the lobby.

Sending Chen Baihan out of the lobby, Chu Haoyu fell into deep thought. As Chen Baihan said, although this move is shameless but very effective, Chu Haoyu can even see through where the shadow's next move is going to fall, but he has no way to stop it, this feeling makes Chu Haoyu feel a deep helplessness, and also has a heart-wrenching pain, because he can feel that the saint Chu Haoyu is also about to fall.

At that time, Chu Haoyu sat alone in the study, thinking about the situation these days, thinking about how to deal with the persecution of the shadow and the eldest brother, and thinking about how to choose. Suddenly, hearing footsteps at the door, Chu Haoyu's wrinkled forehead turned into a Sichuan character, if it weren't for something big and urgent, how could Sun Hou dare to disturb himself at this time.

Walking into the study, Sun Hou bowed down and said: "Son-in-law, the palace has just been summoned, and the saint has just come to his senses, please enter the palace." ”

Hearing that the eldest brother woke up, Chu Haoyu did not have any joy but gave birth to a trace of bitterness and deep sadness, because he had already guessed what the eldest brother was going to do, and said secretly in his heart: "Big brother, why are you persecuting Xiao Qi so hard?" With a sigh, Chu Haoyu stood up and walked out of the palace with a gloomy face.

By the time Chu Haoyu arrived at the palace, the Palace of Heart Cultivation was already full of people, the queen mother, Concubine Hua, Concubine Yi and other concubines, the crown prince Chu Yuanbo, the second prince Chu Yuanyi, the third prince Chu Yuansheng and many other princes, as well as the brave king Chu Haoxuan, the British king Chu Haoyuan, the two princes, and then the Zhongshu Ling Chen Baihan, the subordinate Hou Zhibai, the prime minister Shen Lan, the military department Shangshu Fang Lin and many other ministers.

Seeing Chu Haoyu, everyone unconsciously moved out of the way. Walking in front of the eldest brother Chu Haoyu and seeing him, even if Chu Haoyu had a lot of dissatisfaction, there was a trace of unbearability on his face. Mo Wusheng is a master of the Grandmaster Realm, and in the end, although he used the essence blood condensation sword to break through Chu Haoran's talisman armor, it hurt his lungs, and it was already a fluke to be able to save a life, but in just a few days, the whole person was actually emaciated, his eyes were deeply sunken and his forehead bones were protruding, and his temples became pale and looked much older.

The moment he saw his eldest brother Chu Haoran, Chu Haoyu couldn't help but think of what his father Chu Tianfeng looked like when he passed away, the two were so similar that Chu Haoyu's nose was sour, and he blurted out: "Big brother." ”

Hearing Chu Haoyu's shout, Chu Haoran finally opened his eyes, saw a smile on Chu Haoyu's face, and opened his mouth to say, "Xiao Qi is here." ”

Seeing the smile on Chu Haoran's face without a trace of pretentiousness and pure joy, Chu Haoyu suddenly had an illusion and was stunned for a moment, but quickly came back to his senses and said with a smile: "Big brother, you are finally awake, we are all worried about death these days, you are our backbone." ”

Nodding lightly, Chu Haoran said with a sigh: "Who would have thought that a master of the Grandmaster Realm would be willing to be an assassin? But when it comes to life and death, I can see a lot of things. After a pause at this, Chu Haoran put away all his emotions and said in a deep voice: "Go down, Xiaoqi, Xiaobo, you two stay, I have something to say to you." ”

Hearing the Holy Lord Chu Haoran say this, everyone's expressions immediately became different, but even if Chu Haoran was seriously ill, no one dared to refute him, bowed and retreated, and soon, there were only Chu Haoran, Chu Haoyu, and Chu Yuanbo left in the huge dormitory, and none of the three of them made a sound, and the hall fell into a deathly silence.

After being silent for a long time, the Holy Lord Chu Haoran suddenly let out a faint sigh, opened his mouth and said, "Xiao Qi, give your hand to the eldest brother." As he spoke, Chu Haoran stretched out his arm, and seeing this, Chu Haoyu hurriedly reached out and held the palm of his eldest brother Chu Haoran.

Chu Haoran's arms were cold, and Chu Haoyu was a martial arts master, and he found a lot of things, his face couldn't help showing a different color, and there was a deep worry in his eyes. Seeing Chu Haoyu's expression change, Chu Haoran opened his mouth and said, "Xiao Qi, what did you find?" ”

At this moment, the crown prince Chu Yuanbo frowned as if he thought of something, but he focused on Chu Haoyu and wanted to hear how he answered.

Under the gaze of the two, Chu Haoyu was silent for a moment and opened his mouth to say: "There are three true qi in the eldest brother's body, which are the Shaoyang true qi of the eldest brother and the second brother, and then the ten thousand demon true qi of Mo Wangsheng, which is destroying the meridians of the eldest brother little by little, devouring the vitality of the eldest brother. ”

"What?" In the midst of the exclamation, Chu Yuanbo stared at Chu Haoyu and asked, "Can't you get rid of it?" ”

After another period of silence, Chu Haoyu shook his head and said: "Unless the second brother breaks through the Grandmaster Realm, he can only suppress it, but the battle between the Ten Thousand Demon True Qi and the Shaoyang True Qi is not only painful, but also exhausts the vitality of the eldest brother." ”

This time, without waiting for Chu Yuanbo to speak, the Holy Lord Chu Haoran directly waved his hand to stop him, but instead stared at Chu Haoyu and asked, "If it wasn't for the second child who arrived in time that night, I would already be a corpse, but Xiao Qi, why didn't you come?" ”

Chu Haoran's voice was very calm, and he couldn't hear any emotion, but for some reason, Chu Haoyu suddenly didn't have the mind to blame him, but blamed himself a little. After a moment of silence, Chu Haoyu did not answer, but said separately: "Big brother, the moment I just saw you, Xiao Qi couldn't help but think of his father. The father was assassinated by the heavens and the thief plotted that his body was highly poisonous, and the pain was not enough to be humane and he was getting thinner and thinner, but Xiao Qi didn't know why at that time, he thought that his father was sick, and he came to make him happy every day, hoping that his father would get better as soon as possible, but it was a pity that his father endured the pain and smiled to Xiao Qi, alas! With a sigh, Chu Haoyu shook his head and said, "The moment you opened your mouth just now, Xiao Qizhen had an illusion, as if he saw his father, and if the eldest brother is a father, maybe that's the case." Big brother, Xiao Qi regretted it, regretted not coming that night, and even went to Cold Moon Peak to complain to them in order to avoid all this, which is ridiculous! ”

Seeing the sadness and remorse in Chu Haoyu's eyes, Chu Haoran showed a touch of warmth in his eyes, and said to himself: "Eldest brother is like a father? I remember that when my father was newly mourned, my eldest brother once said this, you went into the mountain to guard filial piety for your father for three years, and when you left, my eldest brother told himself in his heart that when you come back, I will love you and protect you like my father, and give you the best things. Father ordered you to go into the mountain to guard filial piety for three years, although it is to love Xiaoqi, why not to protect Xiaoqi? Speaking of this, Chu Haoran couldn't control the agitation in his heart and coughed, and the prince Chu Yuanbo, who was watching, hurriedly stepped up to hold him, and patted his back at the same time, and seeing the current appearance of the eldest brother, Chu Haoyu was also heartbroken, and hurriedly said: "Big brother, don't worry, your body is important." ”

"Body?" In the self-deprecating laughter, Chu Haoran waved his hand to signal Chu Yuanbo to stop, shook his head and said: "As the emperor, the eldest brother needs to consider my Chu family, and the heavenly thorn and traitor must be removed." Over the years, the Heavenly Thorn has been like a tumor growing on my body, eroding my body little by little, but I hate me but I don't know where he is. ”
