"Your Majesty has sent people to keep an eye on us these days, is it related to King Cheng's return?" Xiao Hanyin saw that the emperor didn't speak, so he simply asked his inner guess.

He desperately wanted to know the truth, and instead of trying his best to investigate, it was better to ask the emperor directly.

After all, the emperor knows these things best......

"You're really smart!" The emperor didn't expect that Xiao Hanyin would find out about King Cheng.

That person hadn't been in the imperial city for almost twenty years, but he didn't expect that as soon as he was about to come back, Xiao Hanyin noticed it.

"Weichen is the emperor's subordinate, if you have something to order!" Xiao Hanyin said with a sincere face, "Weichen and Neiko have never been greedy for fame, fortune and wealth, we just want to complete the original agreement, and then leave the imperial city, if Your Majesty can trust Weichen, you can tell the truth of the matter!" ”

The emperor looked at him silently, thinking about this in his heart.

"Your ability is indeed good, but have you ever thought that if you send someone to investigate Cheng Wang, it is likely that you will be startled!" The emperor sighed.

He really didn't misunderstand Xiao Hanyin, this person's mind was too sharp, and he didn't even say anything, he had already guessed some truths.

"Not only is Weichen investigating King Cheng, but Master Du seems to be investigating him as well!" Xiao Hanyin's eyes flashed, he really didn't expect that these things he did secretly might cause such serious consequences.

"The matter of becoming the king is a big matter, don't continue to investigate him for the time being!" The emperor said.

"Yes!" Although Xiao Hanyin was satisfied and doubtful in his heart, he still agreed.

The emperor's words seemed to contain a hint of helplessness.

Could it be that the power of Cheng Wang is greater than he imagined?

"From tomorrow, I won't let people stare at you anymore!" The emperor left the prison with a single sentence.

The next day, the prince beside the emperor personally came to the prison to announce the release of Xiao Hanyin.

After Xiao Hanyin came out of the prison, he went back to his house directly......

Liu Qingshao was very happy that he could come back.

She cooked herself and cooked a lot of delicious food, and she wanted to celebrate with Xiao Hanyin.

At the same time, he also ordered someone to prepare pig's foot noodles, wanting to give him the bad luck on his body.

That night, when they were just about to eat barbecue at home, the emperor's henchman secret guard suddenly came over and conveyed the emperor's message to them.

The emperor ordered them not to act privately after King Cheng returned to the imperial city!

No matter what happens, you must obey the emperor's orders.

After Xiao Hanyin and Liu Qingshao gave each other some silver, they said that they would obey the emperor's arrangement.

The dark guard originally didn't want to accept their money, but after Xiao Hanyin whispered a few words in his ear, he accepted it.

"What did you tell him?" Liu Qingshao was very curious.

"Although he is a secret guard, it is impossible to always be hidden in the dark to do things for the emperor, he must always leave a way back for himself!" Xiao Han smiled mysteriously.

These people have no chance at all on weekdays, they marry and have children like ordinary guards, they can only serve the emperor all their lives, unless they are accidentally seriously injured, they will not be able to live a normal life in this life.

However, once a secret guard like them is injured or has a physical problem, they don't have to stay in the palace anymore.

The secret guards around the emperor are not something ordinary people can do, and the hardships are not enough for outsiders.

Xiao Hanyin has been by the prince's side for many years, and in fact, he has also seen those secret guards who had to leave because they were injured.

Since childhood, they have been taken to some secret places for training, and they do not do any other work at all, except for their martial arts.

Therefore, after some of the secret guards leave, they will live an extremely miserable life.

Of course, there are very few dark guards who can leave, they are lucky, and many of them die directly, and they only have one pronoun, not even their own name......

The person who came to convey the emperor's message before was the emperor's trusted confidant, but he was tired of the days in front of him.

He didn't want to be a puppet who only obeyed the emperor's orders forever, so Xiao Hanyin gave him a choice.

If he can really let go of everything in front of him, he will have a chance to start over.

However, Xiao Hanyin did not tell Liu Qingshao these words.

Those shady things for him, she didn't know as well......

After Liu Qingshao and Xiao Hanyin discussed, they decided to respond to the changes with no change.

Since the emperor did not allow them to meddle in this matter anymore, they did their own thing with peace of mind.

Wait for King Cheng to come back before making a decision.

After all, the emperor is more afraid of becoming a king than them.

The man had almost robbed him of his throne.

Xiao Hanyin didn't believe that he wouldn't want to get rid of King Cheng at all.

In the past, he didn't do anything, one is that he can't find a king who has no fixed home, and the other is that he still has many loyal subordinates at hand.

If the emperor can't get rid of him quietly, he will leave trouble.

At that time, he took the initiative to give up the battle for the throne and left the imperial city to give all this to the emperor.

This incident made him win the hearts of the people, so the emperor has always had a headache about his affairs......

Two days later, Xiao Hanyin received news that King Cheng was about to arrive in the imperial city.

At this time, the emperor suddenly announced in the court that King Cheng was about to return. balance

After the ministers of the court and the central government learned about this, they all set off huge waves in their hearts, especially some old ministers who knew about King Cheng's past, and felt very uneasy about his return.

Although King Cheng did nothing wrong back then, he even took the initiative to withdraw from the battle for the throne.

However, no one knows whether those who support him as emperor are his instructions or their own ideas.

If he was in charge of everything, this person would be really terrifying, but after so many years, after the emperor ascended the throne, it can be said that he has worked hard, and it can be regarded as not dishonoring the prestige of the first emperor.

"What does this King Cheng want to do when he suddenly comes back?"

"Maybe they're just coming back to live their lives?"

"He's been out there for so many years, if he really plans to live his old age, he can go somewhere else, why do he have to go back to the imperial city!"

"Don't guess, since the emperor didn't say anything, I'll wait here to guess, it will only add to my troubles!"

"You can't say that, things were like that back then, and after he came back, it would inevitably remind people of what happened back then!"

"So what, when he left the imperial city, he should have thought that there would be such a day, not to mention that he was not the heir of the first emperor in the first place!"

"Speaking of which, this King Cheng is only five years older than our Majesty, if he really has something that he shouldn't have, I'm afraid the court will be in chaos!"

"Don't talk nonsense here, the emperor has his own opinions on this matter, we just need to do our own thing!"

……

Some courtiers got together in private and secretly discussed the return of King Cheng.

After Xiao Han secretly learned the thoughts of those ministers, a sneer appeared in his eyes.

King Cheng did not make a mistake back then, and after the emperor ascended the throne, he did not plunder his title and reward.

However, in these years, the emperor has never mentioned becoming a king.

Although all the things that used to be have passed, they have left indelible traces in their hearts.

Liu Qingshao and Xiao Hanyin paid attention to the news of the imperial city while dealing with business matters.

He is an idle position in the military department, and he has nothing to do on weekdays, and after Xiao Hanyin comes back, he will help Liu Qingshao check the accounts.

Recently, she has been away from the imperial city for more than a month, and she has not checked all the accounts in the shop.

Now that she is back, she naturally wants to check the income of the previous month of the shop.

The next day, King Cheng finally arrived in the imperial city.

After he returned, he immediately took his wife and children to the palace to meet the emperor.

"Before you left, you didn't marry a wife and have children, and now the children are so old!" After the emperor saw his wife and children, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes.

"Yes, I haven't been back for twenty years, the imperial city has changed a lot, but Your Majesty still looks so young!" King Cheng said with a smile.

"I have ordered someone to prepare the mansion, and when I leave the palace, I will order someone to take you there!" The emperor glanced at them and said.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Weichen originally planned to take his wife and children to live in the inn first!" King Cheng thanked him.

"You are the king of my dynasty, and you have made great contributions to the court, you are coming back, I naturally have to arrange everything in advance!" The emperor said in a flat tone.

"Weichen and his wife and children have just returned, please let Your Majesty allow us to go back and freshen up first, and then enter the palace tomorrow to say hello!" After King Cheng exchanged a few words with him, he directly offered his farewell.

"Go ahead!" The emperor did not force him to stay.

During this period, neither of them mentioned how long King Cheng's family would live in the imperial city.

The emperor didn't forget, but had a plan in his heart.

Although King Cheng didn't say anything, his move of bringing back his wife and children had actually given the emperor an answer.

If he didn't plan to live in, why did he bring his wife and children with him?

They are all smart people, and there are some things that they don't need to say to understand them all......

Some ministers in the court, as well as the royal family, wanted to know the purpose of King Cheng's sudden return.

The royal family is the most feared person to become a king.

They even wanted to get him away directly, after all, as long as he stayed in the imperial city, some changes could happen at any time.

The days of ease and idleness have passed for too long, and none of them are afraid that the imperial city will be turbulent again.

After King Cheng settled down in the imperial city with his wife and children, some courtiers came to visit him with gifts.

They all wanted to know if King Cheng planned to stay forever or leave after a while.

But becoming is something they can easily tempt.

King Cheng had long known the purpose of their visit, but instead of exposing it, he specially set up a banquet in the palace to greet them.

Although King Cheng has been away for many years, he is very cautious and does not give the other party the slightest opportunity to test him.

The events of that year have always been a thorn in the emperor's heart, and King Cheng knew that they were coming, but he was worried that the imperial city would suddenly change the sky.

So, after feasting on those who had come to his door, he returned all the gifts they had brought.

For the time being, he just wants to live quietly with his wife and children and stay in the imperial city, as for those people, he has no heart to deal with them......

On the other side, after Xiao Hanyin and Liu Qingshao heard about those things, they directly ignored them.

It is their freedom for the ministers in the court to do what they want, but he and Liu Qingshao will not visit King Cheng.

"Ah Yin, do you say those ministers, can they get the news they want from King Cheng's mouth?" When Liu Qingshao and Xiao Hanyin were drinking tea in the courtyard, she suddenly remembered some rumors about King Cheng.
