The prince waited until after lunch, and finally waited for Xiao Yan in the Longevity Palace.

As soon as Xiao Yan entered the door, the prince was stunned for a moment, and then shouted: "Father! The retainers are wronged! He didn't know anything about the development of things outside, and he didn't know how much Xiao Yan knew, shouted a few words, peeking at Xiao Yan's impatient eyes, it seemed that he was afraid that the situation was worse than he expected, Xiao Shide's heart was half empty at the moment, and he simply began to make excuses for his mistakes: "Erchen is blinded!" Father! Erchen was confused by the words of the Taoist priest! ”

It's okay not to say it, as soon as the Taoist priest is mentioned, Xiao Yan remembered Xiao Shizhang's words in the court, and couldn't help but look at Xiao Shide's eyes with some disgust. He took a deep breath, extremely disappointed in Xiao Shide's appearance, he would rather Xiao Shide tell him all this clearly, rather than see him now.

Xiao Yan waited for him to calm down completely before he said slowly, "Do you know how I know that you did it?" ”

Xiao Shide thought about this matter all night, and he didn't know where the evidence was, although he said that he went to the imperial tomb that day, and the palace person was indeed his person, but if there was no direct evidence, it could be said that he was framed.

"Looks like you don't know yet." A trace of helplessness flashed in Xiao Yan's eyes, and he continued: "The people you sent that day were all skilled, and you personally picked them, right?" ”

Xiao Shide replied tremblingly, "Yes." But he didn't know what was wrong with him.

"That's right, those people with good skills are all the imperial guards who I personally transferred to protect you."

Xiao Shide's eyes widened, incredible,

"Incredible, isn't it?" Xiao Yan's eyes were a little lonely: "I've been by your side for so long, you haven't even noticed it, what if these people weren't sent by me?" Will you still be alive now? ”

Xiao Shide's eyes were empty, he never expected that something would go wrong here, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

"Lift a stone and shoot yourself in the foot, what do you tell me to say about you? I originally sent those people to your side to protect you secretly, after all, you are the future prince, and the position of prince is dangerous, and I also want to test your ability to see when you can find out that there are new people around you. When Xiao Yan said this, he sighed again: "But what about you?" How do you do that? ”

"Father, the son knows that he is wrong! Erchen was really wrong. It was all because of that Taoist priest—"

"Taoist priest! You believe whatever the Taoist priest says?! Xiao Yan interrupted, glaring angrily: "You are the crown prince!" It's the prince! Believe the words of a Taoist priest and make people laugh when they say it! Have you ever thought about me before you do it, have you ever thought about your ancestors and ancestors? Do you really think that the world is already yours and you can do whatever you want?

"No, Father, it's not like that! Erchen never thought of it that way! ”

"Look at the way you look now, it really makes me wonder, is this really what the future king of a country should look like?"

Xiao Shide's heart almost jumped out of his throat, and he only felt that his mind was blank when he asked these few words.

Is this questioning his incompetence to be the king of a country? Xiao Shide shook his head in amazement, and raised his head to look at Xiao Yan again.

Xiao Yan has been waiting for his gaze, father and son are opposite, and some are not blood and kinship, but inexplicable speculation and temptation.
