Xie Jun, the king of Qi, met Xie Xuan, the king of Jin, in the maple leaf forest in the north of the city.

In fact, once upon a time, it was well known that the King of Qi and the King of Jin were the best among the princes; But as the battle between the two families of Yan and Chu around the two princes has intensified, the two princes have grown up now, and a lot of things have happened over the years, and they are not as good as before after all.

Xie Xuan came to the maple forest as promised, and Xie Jun sat on the maple tree.

"Brother Emperor." Xie Xuan called out sullenly, only to see Xie Jun descending from the sky: "Yuming, I didn't expect you to really come." ”

"Since it is the eldest brother who invites him, how can Xuan not come." Xie Xuan arched his hand.

Xie Jun frowned slightly, but he was silent and didn't know what he was thinking.

"Brother Emperor, in fact, I, I am not interested in the throne, and I have no intention of competing with you, I just ......" Xie Xuan looked hesitant, he wanted to say something, but the words were blocked in his heart and he couldn't speak.

"The matter of the storage position is no longer up to you and me." Xie Jun actually felt uncomfortable in his heart when he heard it.

It's just that by now, Xie Jun and the Chu family have long been immortal; In Xie Jun's cognition, his mother, Mrs. Yan, was framed by the Chu family so that she was given death by her father, and the princess Ji Ruoli, who is still unconscious, was also killed by Mrs. Chu. There may be other things, but they are insignificant compared to the mother's wife.

But in front of Xie Xuan, he couldn't say these words.

There is only one thing, which is his suspicion of Xie Xuan all along.

"Back then, Miss Xu Zhao suddenly hanged herself in Hongfu Temple, have you ever seen her before?" Xie Jun hesitated for a moment before asking.

Obviously, he didn't expect Xie Jun to suddenly mention this matter after a long time, Xie Xuan was a little unclear: "Yes." ”

Xie Jun's face was not good-looking, so he nodded with a cold face, but did not say anything more.

"Brother Huanghuang, you still can't let go of Miss Xu?" Xie Xuan saw Xie Jun like this and asked.

"It's all in the past." Xie Jun lowered his eyes, and he was unwilling to continue to talk about this matter.

"Brother Huanghuang, Miss Xu Zhao, she is the daughter of her father." Xie Xuan couldn't help but say, "Even if Miss Xu Zhao hadn't died in Hongfu Temple back then, you were destined to have no good results." ”

Regarding Xu Zhao's life experience, Xie Jun had already learned from Mrs. Yan, but now he heard Xie Xuan mention it again, but he had a completely different mentality.

Only then did he look back at Xie Xuan: "How do you know Miss Xu Zhao's background?" ”

Xie Xuan said: "It was my mother who told me. After a pause, he said, "Mother, I also said that Miss Xu Zhao has a crescent birthmark on the right side of her neck. ”

This time, Xie Jun's face was even more ugly, after all, I don't know how he knew about such a private thing, after all, even he didn't know that Xu Zhao still had a crescent birthmark on his body.

"Xinfang also has a crescent birthmark on her neck." Xie Xuan added.

"You even know what birthmarks your sister has?" Xie Jun sneered.

"The concubine told me." Xie Xuan still said so.

"Do you listen to your mother for everything?" Xie Jun's tone was obviously displeased, "Remember that you haven't been so obedient to your mother before. ”

Xie Xuan hung his head and was dejected: "Since Xinfang ran away, my mother can treat me to death, and I am afraid that I will leave the royal capital like Xinfang." ”

Xie Jun frowned: "Then will you leave?" ”

The corners of Xie Xuan's lips moved as if he was about to say something, but at this moment, the maple forest fell, and when he raised his eyes, he saw a group of black-clothed people descending from the sky in all directions, menacing.

Xie Jun and Xie Xuan hurriedly drew their swords to meet each other and fought with the man in black.

The men in black are all strong in martial arts, and it is Xie Jun and Xie Xuan combined that they can barely compete with them.

At the beginning, Xie Xuan glanced at Xie Jun with some doubts, as if he had some doubts.

After all, this time it was Xie Jun who asked him to come out to meet, which couldn't help but make him a little suspicious that these black-clothed people hiding in the maple leaf forest might have something to do with Xie Jun.

But now there is no time to think about this, Xie Xuan has to draw his sword first and fight the man in black.

Obviously, those men in black were also particularly aimed at Xie Xuan, and they repelled the men in black with difficulty, and Xie Xuan was also stabbed twice by the men in black, covered in blood.

Hurriedly returned to the palace, the imperial doctor treated Xie Xuan's injuries, and Emperor Chengji sent someone to summon Xie Jun to Hanyuan Palace.

Along the way, Xie Jun was also uneasy, the matter of the man in black had nothing to do with him, but at this time, his father suddenly summoned him, I am afraid that he also suspected that he asked Xie Xuan out and then arranged for someone to lurk in the maple leaf forest to attack.

Just who the hell?

Xie Jun suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, and knelt down when he entered Hanyuan Palace: "Erchen greets his father." ”

"Hmm." Emperor Cheng Ji nodded slightly, and asked, "How is Yuming?" ”

"The doctor said that the fourth brother has lost too much blood and needs to rest." Xie Jun replied.

"But what are you and Yuming going to the maple leaf forest in the north of the city for?" Emperor Cheng Ji frowned and asked unhappily.

"Back to my father, it's just that I haven't talked with my fourth brother for a long time." In fact, Xie Jun didn't have any confidence in his heart when he said this, it was indeed because there were some things that they couldn't say within the palace walls.

Emperor Cheng Ji looked at him expressionlessly for a long time, and then heard the chamberlain come in and report: "Your Majesty, Mrs. Chu asks to see you." ”

When he heard Mrs. Chu, Xie Jun lowered his eyes and did not speak.

Emperor Cheng Ji said: "You go back and think about it." ”

"Yes, the retainers are retired." Xie Jun retired.

Xie Jun happened to meet Mrs. Chu when he went out from Hanyuan Palace, the corners of Mrs. Chu's eyes were red and swollen, and she gently wiped her tears with a silk handkerchief, and when she saw Xie Jun, she turned to the side.

It wasn't until Xie Jun left that Mrs. Chu entered Hanyuan Palace and cried to see her.

Emperor Cheng Ji was already upset, and he was even more unhappy when he heard Mrs. Chu behave like this: "Xiaoqing." ”

"Your Majesty, you must investigate this matter thoroughly, I don't know who dares to assassinate the prince so boldly." Mrs. Chu wiped her tears and sobbed and said.

"Don't worry, I will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly and give you an explanation." Emperor Cheng Ji patted her and said.

"Thank you, thank you, Your Majesty." With tears in her eyes, Mrs. Chu paused and said, "It's just, it's just ······."

Emperor Cheng Ji interrupted her: "If you have anything to say, just say it, I will call the shots for you." ”

Only then did Mrs. Chu speak: "Your Majesty, yes, it was the King of Qi who asked Yuming to go to the maple forest, concubine, and I always felt that something was wrong." Yuming, this kid has grown up with King Qi since he was a child, His Majesty knows it, he has solid eyes, and he has always believed in what King Qi said. The concubine was just afraid that she would be hindered by traitors, and she took advantage of His Royal Highness King Qi and harmed Yuming. ”

This trick quietly gave Xie Jun eye medicine, and Mrs. Chu tried it many times in the past.

But Emperor Cheng Ji just nodded expressionlessly, and sent her back, saying that he would investigate the matter.
