Xiao Daocheng suddenly remembered that Xiao Zhen was not present when he was guarding the spirit, otherwise, it would not have been Xiao Ye who came to help him, and when asked about Xiao Zhen, Qu Ping couldn't say anything, he also knew that Xiao Zhen must have escaped.

However, at this moment, a call came from outside the door behind him: "Father! ”

This was Xiao Ying's voice, Xiao Daocheng turned his head to look over, and saw Xiao Ying standing outside the door, Xiao Zhen and Pei Huizhao were also there, and all three of them had changed into light-colored mourning clothes.

Xiao Zhen looked at Xiao Heng's coffin, lost his soul for a while, and didn't care about saluting Xiao Daocheng, so he walked straight in, knelt down with a "plop", Pei Huizhao followed closely behind him, gave Xiao Daocheng a little salute when he came in, and then knelt beside Xiao Zhen, Xiao Ying walked up to Xiao Daocheng with a smile on his face, and said: "Father, the son is late." ”

Seeing that Xiao Ying had no sadness, Xiao Daocheng suddenly became dissatisfied and reprimanded: "What's the use of you talking to me about being late!" Say it to your grandmother! ”

"Yes, yes," Xiao Ying knew that she shouldn't be, and hurriedly catered to her: "Erchen is at fault!" ”

As he spoke, he immediately knelt in front of the mourning basin and cried out: "Aunt Tai! You are so good, why did you go, how can you bear to leave your juniors! Aunt Taizu...... Aunt Taizu...... "After saying that, she bowed her head, pretending to be heartbroken, hugging her head and crying.

Xiao Ying reacted violently and cried again and again, but Xiao Ying's face was dull and silent, so naturally the contrast was stark, but Xiao Daocheng, a clear-eyed person, was sandwiched between the two brothers, and he could still see at a glance who was true and who was false.

"Where have you been? Why is it belated? Xiao Daocheng looked at Xiao Zhen without squinting, with a straight face, and his face was extremely cold.

Xiao Ying was lying on the ground, thinking that Xiao Daocheng was asking him, so he stopped crying, secretly turned his head to peep at Xiao Daocheng, and saw that he was questioning Xiao Zhen, he got carried away for a while, and immediately sat up straight, looked at Xiao Zhen, and the corners of his lips raised.

But Xiao Zhen didn't even look at Xiao Daocheng, but just replied coldly, "Erchen drank too much today and rested in the mansion, and I just learned that something happened in the palace." ”

Xiao Ying rolled her eyes at Xiao Zhen when she heard this, and sneered, Xiao Daocheng knew that Xiao Zhen was making excuses, so he reprimanded: "Rest? Didn't you hear the bell ringing! ”

"Erchen slept deeply, so he was reckless," Xiao Xun said, Xiao Daocheng's face was obviously a little darker, Pei Huizhao could see it clearly, and he was afraid that he would blame Xiao Zhen, so he hurriedly turned to him and said: "Father forgives the emperor, everything is due to the negligence of the son, His Royal Highness is drunk today, and the son-in-law saw that he was sleeping deeply, and he couldn't bear to disturb, so he missed the time...... If the father wants to ask for the crime, he will punish one of his sons. ”

"Hui Zhao!" Xiao Zhen called her, frowned, and whispered, "It's none of your business." ”

Xiao Daocheng, who is a father-in-law, has always been very tolerant of his daughter-in-law, but now that he saw that Pei Huizhao was responsible, it was not easy to say anything about her, so he did not hold her accountable, but Xiao Ying said in a weird manner: "The royal brother and the imperial sister-in-law have been sleeping together for so many years, but they are really heart-to-heart, and I didn't listen to you discuss anything on the way here, this is already a good excuse, amazing!" ”

Pei Huizhao glanced at Xiao Ying, and Xiao Zhen didn't pay attention to him, just as he was bitten by a dog. Xiao Daocheng then asked: "What about Changmao and Ziliang?" ”

When the words fell, Xiao Zhen was silent for a long time before he replied indifferently: "Chang Mao and Ziliang said that they wanted to go to Yangzhou to play, so Erchen instructed Yin Luo to take them there, they have already left the city, at this time, I am afraid that I don't know that something happened in the palace." ”

"Going to Yangzhou?" Xiao Ying sneered, "I think, let's run for my life!" Didn't the eldest brother also go out of the city? ”

After he said it, he said to Xiao Daocheng: "Father, the son is the right person, I saw the royal brother taking the family out of the city, the luggage on the carriage was not even counted, it seemed like he was going out to play, but it was like he was going to run for his life, the golden bell rang twenty-seven times, if it wasn't for the son's reminder, the imperial brother and the imperial sister-in-law, I am afraid that they will go away early, how can they come back to fulfill their filial piety to the grandmother." ”

Xiao Daocheng's face was pale, his whole body trembled slightly, and he was about to get angry when he saw it, Pei Huizhao hurriedly defended with Xiao Ying: "Third brother, things can be eaten indiscriminately, but you can't talk nonsense, Your Highness and I just came from the house, but when I entered the palace, I just happened to meet you, your eldest brother was in a bad mood, just now you made slanderous words, we didn't argue with you, but you still have to inch in!" No matter what grievances you have in the past, you can't arrange your eldest brother like this in front of the Taizu Gu Ling! ”

Pei Huizhao explained all the suspicions, and also countered him, Xiao Ying laughed, "Choreograph? Am I choreographed? Sister-in-law, what I said is all true, how did it get into your mouth and become a choreography? ”

At this moment, Yin Luo suddenly appeared outside the mourning hall panting with Xiao Changmao and Xiao Ziliang, and everyone was shocked.

Yin Luo walked in with Xiao Changmao and Xiao Ziliang, then knelt on the ground and said: "Your Majesty forgives me, the two little highnesses are late, and it is the fault of the ministers." ”

Xiao Daocheng looked at Yin Luo and didn't speak, Pei Huizhao was afraid that he would leak his mouth, so he took advantage of the situation and pretended to reprimand, "Why didn't you even change your clothes!" ”

Yin Luo was so preached by Pei Huizhao, naturally he was a little confused, Pei Huizhao gave him a look, and then said: "Let you escort Changmao and Ziliang to Yangzhou, unfortunately there was an accident in the palace, I think you haven't gone far, Your Highness is still talking to the palace that you want to send someone to chase you back, but I didn't expect you to come back by yourself." ”

Pei Huizhao said this, Yin Luo immediately understood, but Xiao Changmao heard it in a daze, calling: "Mother concubine ......" He clearly heard Xiao Hui and Pei Huizhao say that he was going to take them to Liang County, but now Pei Huizhao said that he was going to Yangzhou, so he naturally wanted to ask clearly.

Now Pei Huizhao also knew what he was going to ask, so before he could ask, he immediately raised his hand to cover his mouth, twisted his eyebrows at him, and then shook his head with him.

Pei Huizhao withdrew his hand, and then pretended to be angry, reprimanded Yin Luo, and said, "What are you still doing here, why don't you take the two little highnesses down to change their mourning clothes?!" In front of the eldest princess, why are you still so reckless! ”

"Niangniang forgive the sin, take the two little palaces to change clothes," Yin Luo said, this is going to take Xiao Changmao and Xiao Ziliang away, who expected Xiao Ying to call again: "Wait!" ”

Yin Luo didn't move, quietly listened to Xiao Ying's words, Xiao Ying walked out of the door unhurriedly, stood in front of Xiao Changmao, smiled at him, and then bent down to look at him very closely, and asked: "Changmao, tell your uncle, my father really asked you to go to Yangzhou?" ”

Xiao Changmao also knew that he needed to speak carefully, so he raised his head and looked at Pei Huizhao, Pei Huizhao bowed slightly, and he also nodded at Xiao Ying, Xiao Ying still did not give up, and continued: "Changmao, you have to tell the truth." ”

"Enough!" Xiao Daocheng suddenly scolded angrily, shocking everyone stunned, "The old man's bones are not cold, you are still making trouble here!" ”

For a while, everyone didn't dare to speak, and Xiao Daocheng scolded again: "You all get out of here!" Get out of here! Get lost! ”

In fact, Xiao Dao also guessed the reason for this matter, and he was suspected of the Taishan earthquake, he knew that Xiao Ying was easily unable to move, and he didn't let Xiao Ying ask any more, but he was also afraid that Xiao Changmao would leak his mouth and reveal the truth, and everyone would not be able to get off the stage at that time.
