Chapter VII: The Past and the Past; Mysterious old man
"What do you say!!"
Xiao Chuhong patted the dragon case and stood up directly in shock. He stepped down from the throne and came to Xiao Chuhe, staring at him with an angry face.
"Weichen deserves death!" Xiao Chuhe said as he lifted his robe and knelt down, his head bowed heavily, his face turned pale, and his lips pursed.
"You are presumptuous!" Xiao Chuhong was furious, flicked the sleeves of his robe, he walked up to the throne, and sat down again.
"I've got you a chance! Say! "He hasn't been dizzy yet, his throne was passed on to him by Xiao Chuhe, if Xiao Chuhe really wants to do something, he doesn't have to give it to him.
"Emperor Rong Bing, only that person can make Garland poison, but he has been seriously injured and missing for ten years. Now, there are only two possibilities for the reappearance of this poison. ”
Xiao Chuhe thought for a while, "The first type: this poison is made by that person's descendants, so this old beggar is just a person who has nothing to do with the previous dynasty." The second type: This poison was made by that person back then. And this beggar was one of the people who were poisoned back then, so this person is inextricably linked to the previous dynasty. ”
With that, the two fell silent. There was a deathly silence in the entire imperial study, except for the "crackling" sound of the candle wick burning.
"Is he, still possible, alive?"
I don't know who asked, and the two were silent for a while.
"Back then, my father sent 10,000 elite soldiers to wipe out his henchmen, and he was seriously injured, fell off the Soulless Cliff, and ended up with no idea of life or death." Xiao Chuhong shook his head, sighed, and said, "Take good care of that beggar, no matter what the possibility is, you may be able to get the whereabouts of that person from his mouth." ”
"Yes, Weichen obeys!" Xiao Chuhe immediately clenched his fists.
"Brother Huang, when my father passed the throne to you, you gave it to me against public opinion, have you ever regretted it?" Xiao Chuhong looked at his brother who saluted him in front of him, his eyes were quite complicated.
Xiao Chuhe stood up straight, shook his head and smiled: "You also know that I'm not interested in the throne or anything. My wish is to wander the world and be a knight who is happy and free. However, you are different from me, you are a real and honest gentleman, the officials trust you, the people love you, the world is in your hands, and it will only get better and better. ”
"That's it, it's me, don't be angry, brother." Xiao Chuhong was apologizing for his suspicion just now.
If the emperor has been in office for a long time, he will get suspicious. He knew in his heart that his imperial brother was an idle man, and he was most annoyed by these deceits. But he just couldn't help but think like that.
It has been ten years since the founding of the country. In the first two years of his reign, his father reigned, rectifying the court, developing the economy, resisting foreign enemies, and fighting against that man...... A series of things made the imperial brother tired, and he always knew that the imperial brother was not here.

After Xiao Chuhe left, he sat alone for a long time, his eyes glazed and he didn't know where to look.
"Your Majesty, the queen asks to see you." It was the voice of Li Dequan, the chief manager of the inner chamberlain, and Xiao Chuhong woke up from a daze.
"Come in." Xiao Chuhong casually picked up a book on the dragon case and read it.
A woman dressed in a lilac palace dress and with a graceful figure slowly walked in. She also has a bowl of Bingqin lotus seed soup in her hand, which is the best to eat in summer.
"The emperor is worried about state affairs, and he should also pay attention to his body, so let's eat something and rest first." Qin Panruo stretched out his hand and picked up the soup bowl and handed it to Xiao Chuhong.
"The queen has a heart, let's put it there first. It's late at night, so the queen might as well go back early to rest. Xiao Chuhong said, his face was flat, his eyes fell on the fold in his hand, and he never moved away for half a minute.
"Your Majesty! Concubines...... Yes, sir. Seeing the sharp gaze that burst out of Xiao Chuhong's eyes, who suddenly raised his head, Qin Panruo could only helplessly respond.
Looking at her leaving, Xiao Chuhong's eyebrows were furrowed, his eyes narrowed slightly, and after a while, he snorted coldly, and then turned his head to stop looking at her.
At this moment, a man in black appeared beside him and fell to his knees.
"How's it going?"
"Back to the master, the person who connected with her has deep internal skills, strong martial arts, and light skills, and our people have been thrown off."
"Go back and get the punishment. Send someone to keep an eye on her! Xiao Chuhong's eyes were a little striking, his voice was cold, and his face was pale.
"Yes!" The man in black turned to leave. Under the candlelight, his face turned pale, and fine beads of sweat oozed from his forehead.
There was the sound of broken porcelain behind him, and he couldn't help but speed up his pace.
—————————————————————
In the dimly lit room, a man covered in bandages lay on the bed, his face was hideous, his hands were clenched into fists, and the bruises on his arms were bulging, but he did not make a sound.
This person is the old beggar with a bad mouth - Cheng does not give up.
At this time, he had a toxin attack that invaded his lungs and made him extremely painful.
A small voice came from outside the room, and he opened his eyes and looked at the door. A cold dagger slipped out of the sleeve of his right hand, but his body did not move, still lying on the bed.
After a while, the door opened, and it was Xiao Chuhe.
"It's so late, and your Excellency hasn't rested yet?" Xiao Chuhe stepped in, closed the door casually, and walked to the side of the bed with his feet raised. glanced at Cheng Buqi and said to him.
"Hehe, my Lao Cheng is also lucky today, I have this qualification, let Prince Gong come to visit in person!" Cheng Buqi's tone is neither yin nor yang, and he still looks like he is not flat.
"Of course, Your Excellency has the qualifications to let me Xiao Chuhe visit in person, after all, Your Excellency is the famous Heavenly Sage Dynasty Crown Prince - Jiuyou Wenjin!" Xiao Chuhe's eyes stared at Cheng Buqi without blinking, and the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, as if he was smiling.
"Hahahaha! Ha ha...... Ahem...... cough cough cough cough ......" Because he laughed too loudly, Cheng Buqi, who was already seriously injured, coughed violently.
Xiao Chuhe watched quietly.
After a while, the coughing finally stopped. Cheng Buqi slowly raised his head and looked at him calmly.
"Lord Wang, I'm afraid you're mistaken, everyone in the world knows that the Heavenly Holy Dynasty disappeared ten years ago, where did the Prince of the Heavenly Holy Dynasty come from. Also Jiuyou Wenjin, Lord Wang, did you come all the way to make me laugh? The voice was flat, without a hint of waves, with a hint of mockery.
"Yes." Xiao Chuhe still cherishes words like gold.
"Not so." Cheng Buqi asked with a smile.
