Xiao Gang continued to kneel on the ground, his shining eyes seemed to burst out of the last brilliant brilliance of his life, and he looked straight at Zhao Ling, and there was a heartfelt worry hidden in his words: "But Your Highness, now that Your Highness is trapped in the palace, what can you do?" ”

Who was he killed in the palace?

Zhao Ling glanced at Xiao Gang coldly again, and his deep voice showed his displeasure: "Before entering the palace today, His Highness never thought that one day a traitor would appear by his side, let alone that the person who would betray His Highness would be you; If you had known that you were the Emperor of the Father's Father, did you think that with the means of His Royal Highness, he would not have replaced you from the position of commander of the Imperial Forest Army? ”

If he had known that he was Emperor Showa's person, Zhao Ling would have been able to take precautions early, and in this way, even if he was in the palace, under the guard of the Imperial Forest Legion, he would not have made it difficult for him to move an inch.

In his life, he planted the biggest heel today, and he was planted in the hands of his most trusted subordinates.

"My subordinates know that His Highness has a good strategy, and they also know that His Highness's house arrest today is all the fault of his subordinates, so his subordinates are willing to desperately make up for the mistakes they made today, and I also ask His Highness to give his subordinates a chance."

Zhao Ling didn't expect Xiao Gang to come to him in order to say such a thing to him and compensate him? Isn't it yet another betrayal?

"Xiao Gang, you have followed His Highness's side for so long, and you should know that the last thing His Highness will forgive in this life is betrayal and lies; Over the years, you have told His Highness a lie, and today you have exposed your true face of betraying Your Highness in front of your father, in such a situation, do you think Your Highness will still believe your words? ”

Xiao Gang knew that the prince would not easily believe him anymore, but he had just learned a piece of news, and with this news, he believed that even if the prince didn't want to believe him, he would give him a chance.

"Your Highness, your subordinates can't force you to believe your subordinates at this time, but your subordinates' repentance will definitely know the truth in the future. Your Royal Highness, you are now trapped in the palace, you don't know anything about the situation outside the palace, and you don't even know what is happening now, you have already had a showdown with the emperor, do you think that with the emperor's character, he will really let Chu Shizi and the crown princess go as easily as he told you? ”

When Zhao Ling heard this, he immediately guessed that Xiao Gang should know something, quickly got up from the chair, walked quickly to Xiao Gang, grabbed his collar and lifted him up by the hand, and asked with anger in his eyes, "What's going on outside?" Do you know something? Say it! ”

Xiao Gang let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince pull his collar, did not struggle, and said: "The subordinates do not hide it from His Highness, His Royal Highness was taken away by Song Yang on the front foot, and the emperor ordered the Imperial Forest Army to surround the Ling Wang's Mansion on the back foot. ”

"Yue'er? What happened to Yue'er? Did something happen? ”

Xiao Gang said: "My subordinates learned that the crown princess suddenly fell to the ground because she was frightened in the mansion, and she was seriously injured on her head and fell unconscious. Your Royal Highness, your subordinates are chess pieces in the hands of the emperor, as a chess piece, if you want not to be abandoned by your master, you must be smart enough to know what your master is thinking in his heart; Over the years, his subordinates have been by the emperor's side, and they have long known a little about the real him; The emperor you see is incompetent, lascivious and indulgent; But the emperor seen by his subordinates was a man who endured humiliation and was very good at scheming; Your Highness, although you are wise, you have lost in a heavy love, and you are too immature compared to him; The emperor clearly knows your weaknesses, and if he wants to attack you, it is simply easy. Your Royal Highness, the emperor loves you, but his love is only based on your obedient and obedient situation, but once you are not under his control, he will be angry, your son, he is reluctant to attack you, so he will transfer his anger to attack the people you care about in your heart, so as to reach the point of making you compromise. ”

"You are under house arrest in the palace at the moment, and you have no way of knowing anything that is happening outside the palace, let alone helping the injured; Your Highness, you can't wait for the emperor to figure it out and relent, because by then, everything will be too late. ”

Zhao Ling's hand holding Xiao Gang's collar suddenly loosened, Xiao Gang was slammed on the ground, but he didn't feel the pain, so he quickly turned over and knelt down again, and looked at Zhao Ling worriedly.

He knew that when he told him what the emperor had done, it was equivalent to completely destroying the father figure in his mind; Over the years, Emperor Showa has indeed endured humiliation, and he has indeed loved his third son from the heart, but his love is based on conditions.

Moreover, the perennial depressed and gloomy life has made some slight changes in his mind, and these changes are not visible at ordinary times, but when he is suddenly stimulated by one thing, he will be completely exposed.

Xiao Gang has followed Emperor Showa since he was a child, and he is the chess piece he buried deepest in, so Xiao Gang is also the earliest and most frequent person to see the dark side of Emperor Showa; Therefore, he reminded Zhao Ling with words, hoping that after hearing these words, he would re-evaluate his biological father in his heart.

For Zhao Ling, Chu Xingyue's injury had already made him anxious, but when he heard that all this was due to his father, he was completely shocked.

He always hoped that he could be an ordinary son in front of his father, and he didn't understand Emperor Showa's thoughts about him before, thinking that he didn't like him, so he also hid his strong love for his father and covered it up, so that he wouldn't be hurt again.

However, after experiencing the matter of Jiang Qiang after the abolition, he finally knew that his father, whom he respected the most since he was a child, loved him, and this discovery made him ecstatic and made him grateful; The strong love that has been suppressed in my heart over the years seems to have been shackled from the outside, and it completely exploded at once.

He faced his father with almost all sincerity and honesty, eager to make up for all the family love he had lost over the years; And Emperor Showa did not live up to his expectations, and their father and son got along well, almost to the point of talking about everything.

He thought that he had gotten family affection, fatherly love, and the warmth he had longed for since he was a child.

However, the reality ruthlessly pulled him out of the beauty of immersion, it turned out that the so-called warmth he experienced was all deliberately created by others, everyone watched him immersed in that false dream and rejoiced, watching him be played by his own father like a fool.

When he woke up, he found that when he sank, he lost the fighting spirit and armor he was most proud of, and watched his beloved and those he cared about injured, betrayed, betrayed, betrayed.

"It turns out that in my father's eyes, I am a puppet in his hand, he wants to reshape me, he wants to pinch me into the shape he wants, and once I struggle to resist, he will wake me up from my sweet dreams and tell me that if I dare to disobey him, he will make me lose everything I care about."

"I'm not afraid of my eldest brother, I'm not afraid of Jiang Qiang, and I'm not even afraid of the fierce enemy army on the battlefield, but I didn't expect that one day, I would have to face my biological father with fear; Watch him raise the knife in his hand to hurt the person I care about the most. ”

Xiao Gang knew the blow that Zhao Ling was suffering at this time, so he hurriedly knelt down and stepped forward to him, grabbed his sleeve and said: "Your Highness, this is not the time to feel sorry for yourself, your subordinates will find a way to send you out of the palace, as long as you leave the palace, you will no longer be controlled by the emperor; The combat effectiveness of the Imperial Forest Army is certainly considerable, but aren't the 30,000 city guards still yours? Once the emperor knows that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has left the palace, he will have to think about what he wants to do. ”

Yes, the most important thing at the moment is to leave the palace first, but, can Xiao Gang believe it?

Zhao Ling slowly turned his deep eyes to look at Xiao Gang who was kneeling in front of him, on his face, he saw sincerity and kindness, but he had seen such an expression more than once before.

"How do you want Your Highness to believe in you? You are the person of your father, and in order to help your father, you once betrayed the news of His Royal Highness to his father, and His Highness can assert that you have done more excessive things, but His Highness does not know about those things. ”

Xiao Gang knew that his betrayal and betrayal were unforgivable, and it was impossible to turn the page casually, so when Zhao Ling mentioned it, he would definitely not defend himself, but pleaded: "Please also ask Your Highness to believe that your subordinates will be next time, this time, even if your subordinates fight for their lives, they will never betray Your Highness again." ”

Listening to Xiao Gang's sonorous answer, Zhao Ling raised his head and walked around the Changxin Palace.

He had to admit that at this time in the palace, no one would stand with him except Xiao Gang, so to speak, Xiao Gang seized an opportunity, an opportunity for him to rely on him and believe in him again.

is really a smart person, no wonder he was appointed by his father to be a secret stake by his side, no wonder he has never peeked into his mask over the years, and has been deceived by him so far.

"Okay, His Royal Highness will believe you once, Xiao Gang, if you dare to betray Your Highness again this time, you don't need your father to do it, Your Highness will finish you off with your own hands."

Hearing Zhao Ling's answer, Xiao Gang felt as if his whole person was alive again, and he quickly kowtowed to Zhao Ling and said, "Please rest assured, Your Highness, your subordinates will never do anything sorry for Your Highness again." ”

After speaking, Xiao Gang slowly stood up with his kneeling legs, which were a little numb, approached Zhao Ling's side, and lowered his voice to tell him his plan.

And after Zhao Ling heard this plan, his tightly twisted eyebrows finally stretched slightly, but at the same time, he also knew one thing in his heart, the opponent he would face next was the person he respected the most in his life.
