"Coming?"

As soon as Xiao Ye entered the Gao Mansion, he found that the current pattern was far from the original, deserted, and there was not even a subordinate to lead the way for him, he slowly walked into the inner courtyard, only to see Gao Qing sitting in the courtyard and playing with himself, he changed into a plain robe, and looked like an immortal who had not been born for a long time.

He found him and sat down opposite him, the flamboyant yellow robe was incompatible with the Su Ya around him, Xiao Ye didn't notice it, picked up a white chess piece and fell, "Why did you suddenly look for me that day?" ”

There was no greeting to speak, Xiao Ye went straight to the topic, it was really strange that day, but he was busy with the matter of ascending the throne, so he didn't have time to ask, but then he thought about it carefully, and he still had some thoughts in his heart, so he wanted to ask about it.

Gao Qing was silent, took out an envelope from under the front and handed it to him, the seal was a golden lotus lacquer seal.

Xiao Ye was puzzled, "What is this?" ”

Gao Qing slowly fell down again and said, "I don't know." ”

Xiao Ye didn't have the heart to play any dumb riddles with him now, so he tore open the envelope three or two times, and when he saw the contents of the envelope, he suddenly came back to his senses, "Who gave it to you?" ”

"I don't know."

"Where are you from?"

"I don't know, I'll be in this position when I wake up in the morning."

Xiao Ye suppressed the anger in his heart, "Aren't you curious about what is written in it?" ”

Gao Qing was still unhurried, "If I was curious, I should have looked at it when I received it, instead of handing him over to you." ”

"Why did you give him to me? Aren't you afraid that this letter is addressed specifically to you? ”

Gao Qing didn't answer, Xiao Ye was patient, played a move, Gao Qing said: "It's nothing more than that, I don't want to participate in those worlds now, you are the only one in Kyoto who is wading in this troubled water, as for whether it was written for me, I don't want to be a bait, I don't care." ”

"The letter said that the emperor's eldest son is still alive, and the person in the edict is him."

Sure enough, Gao Qing Luozi's hand paused slightly, the chess pieces shifted, Xiao Ye observed him, "You are the queen's family, the eldest son of the emperor should call you uncle, if the person who sits in that position now is him, you may be the uncle of the country now, Lord Gao?" You? Don't wonder who the eldest son of the emperor is? ”

Even if Xiao Ye said calmly, his heart had already been turbulent, he had always known that someone was secretly helping the princess, but he had never been able to find out who it was, and now someone wrote such a letter to Gao Qing, what was the purpose? Is it to make Gao Qing against him? Or did you threaten him? Xiao Ye couldn't figure it out.

"Don't you want him to sit in that position? Aren't you afraid that he will know what happened back then and take revenge on you? Or can you support him and make him grateful to you, so that you can sit on the glory and wealth of your life? ”

The sound of clanging chess pieces falling, Gao Qing carefully put away the chessboard, and raised his unwavering eyes, "Since that incident back then, I have been a sinner, but I have turned back, and you are still wrong again and again." ”

"I don't know who wrote the letter, maybe it's the queen mother who is far away in Foju Mountain, maybe it's you, it's me, everyone who was involved in that incident is possible, as for the eldest son of the emperor?"

"Xiao Ye?" Gao Qing got up, calmly called his name, and patted the remnants of the leaves that fell on his body, "He died twenty years ago, we forced him to die, if you see him again, you should feel lucky, he is here to redeem you." ”

Xiao Ye was flustered for a moment, as if he had returned to that night twenty years ago, looking at the figure he left, his eyes were full of anger, and some words blurted out.

Hearing this name, Gao Qing's footsteps paused slightly, but he didn't stop, just muttered, "He's a good son." ”

Oh he! It's for a good son! is not only a good son, he has a princess by his side to help, compared to him, he is like a stolen yellow robe, plain and funny.

That person is not dewy, could it really be him? Gao Qing really doesn't know?

Xiao Ye couldn't say for sure, but he knew that he couldn't let others push him to a dead end.

Su Li hurriedly came, the study was pitch black, and there was only the sound of heavy breathing in the hall, although he couldn't see it, he still saluted respectfully.

"How do you know who the eldest son of the emperor is?"

Su Li was very calm, picked out the oil lamp in the distance and lit the candles in the house, "The emperor forgives the sin, Su doesn't know who the emperor's eldest son is." ”

When he brought his female dependents into the palace to stop Xiao Ye from killing hundreds of officials, he angered Xiao Ye, he persuaded Xiao Ye and informed the emperor's eldest son, but he never said who the emperor's eldest son was, in fact, he really didn't know.

Xiao Ye didn't look like he was lying, and became more and more curious about the person in front of him, "Then how do you know that the eldest son of the emperor and the crown prince are not dead?" ”

Su Li stood aside and studied the ink carefully for him, as if he was talking about an inconsequential matter, "The emperor sent someone to check my background, but he didn't think about checking my family's background?" ”

Xiao Ye was obviously stunned, waiting for his next step.

"My grandmother, is the emperor's eldest son's serving grandmother, twenty years ago in the palace that incident, the emperor's eldest son around all the people were executed, my grandmother jumped into the well to commit suicide, luckily survived, she and the guards secretly escaped, incognito, unfortunately the family offended the queen's nephew, I don't know how this incident alarmed the queen's mother, the queen recognized the grandmother, in order to hide the fact that the emperor's eldest son is still alive, this is the end of my family to exterminate, I was studying outside to escape, and then Your Majesty knows all about it, as for why I know this?"

He smiled wryly, "Who would avoid a child who has fallen asleep at home, I just learned the truth of the matter by mistake." ”

"That's why you hate the royal family so much that you want them all to die?"

Su Li was silent, this is what he meant, and it also shows that he and Xiao Ye are in the same boat, at least for now.

Although the story is absurd, but the logic is very clear, after the accident in the twenty years, the people around the emperor's eldest son were executed or disappeared one after another, everyone in the palace knows that a few people have died, and they will not delve into it, only that the queen is too sad, afraid of seeing things and thinking about people, so she will put people to death, and now I think about it, just to hide the news that the emperor's eldest son is still alive.

Xiao Ye thought so, but he always felt that something was wrong, he couldn't find a breakthrough, the eldest son of the emperor was already dead, they were in the palace, and when they saw each other, there was only the coffin of the eldest son of the emperor, and then the queen lived in Foju Mountain for a long time, and they didn't ask about the affairs of the palace, they had no way to check it, and because of the princess's life experience, they were afraid of the prince and princess, and they had no time to take care of the eldest son.

He glanced at Su Li, who was studying ink with low eyebrows, "On the day of the accident, Lord Gao called me to go to the mansion to tell me something important, and I left the palace with my front foot and entered the palace with my back foot, he said that he received news that someone was going to rebel, but the rebel did not appear." ”

"I went to Gao Qing today, and he gave me an envelope, and the person on it was written on it that the person on the edict was the eldest son of the emperor, what do you think about this? Who wrote the letter? ”

"It doesn't matter who wrote the letter, what matters is what His Majesty thinks?"

"Hahahaha!" Xiao Ye suddenly laughed, laughing wildly, laughing and laughing suddenly stopped, looked at Su Li who was grinding ink in front of him, and seemed to ask casually, "Don't you wonder who the emperor's eldest son is?" ”

The ink strip slipped from his hand, fell from the edge of the inkstone to the ground, and with a "bell", the ink slag was all over the ground, and it was still glowing with golden light, and his hand was trembling slightly.

Su Li never thought about it, and never dared to think that what he heard would be this name.
