Xuanyuan Qi, who was still wandering in the depths of the dense forest on Qingfeng Mountain, pulled the reins, clamped the horse's belly, and looked up at the sky.

The sun is moving westward, noon has passed, and the time should be almost there!

He raised his hand to shield himself from the glare of the sun, and his thin lips curled into a triumphant sneer.

This will make him Xuanyuan Hao, even if he has nine lives, he must explain here.

He deliberately frowned, blinked the corners of his eyes twice, and touched his sideburns.

"Yo...... It's past noon! No wonder this palace feels a little hot, let's rest in place! ”

Everyone dismounted one after another, each took a water bag and leaned against the shade of the tree, and drank water.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really brave, I have been a little tired along the way, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is still in good spirits."

"Yes, yes! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the chosen one, and he must not be measured by the eyes of mortals! ”

The compliments came and went, and the forest was in an uproar.

Xuanyuan Qi enjoyed everyone's praise, and his heart was a little fluttering, but his eyes were not idle for a moment.

Riding on a horse, he looked down at everyone left and right, a pair of eyes like a falcon shuttled through the crowd, and suddenly he deliberately raised his voice and roared.

"Oh no," the horse was frightened, he tugged the reins, and spun in a circle, "What about King Hao, you won't be left behind, right?" ”

As soon as the words fell, the crowd exploded, and they all looked around, looking anxious.

"It seems that I haven't seen the figure of His Royal Highness King Hao, so I shouldn't really fall behind, right?"

"This can't be guaranteed, this Qingfeng Mountain dense forest is circuitous, and it is very easy to get lost."

Hearing this, Xuanyuan Hao pretended to panic and raised his hand to summon a team of guards.

"Look around for this palace, and be sure to find King Hao before dark!"

"Yes!"

The escort team split into four and galloped in all directions, and their figures disappeared into the dense forest in an instant.

Xuanyuan Qi secretly hooked the corners of his mouth, and the corners of his eyebrows were almost imperceptibly raised slightly.

At this time, Xuanyuan Hao may have already been buried at the bottom of the cliff, broken bones! Even if you get it back, it's just a corpse!

Xuanyuan Qi swept away the joy in his eyes, and replaced it with an anxious look, he rode the horse with one hand and raised his arms.

"Let's go with this palace and find it!"

Everyone looked at each other, hurriedly put away the water bags, got up and got on the horse.

"I'll wait to hear from His Royal Highness the Prince!"

Suddenly, a prince and minister stepped forward with a slight bow, "This Qingfeng Mountain is located in a remote area, and there are wild beasts all year round, which direction should we look for, and I hope His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will make it clear." ”

Xuanyuan Qi was stunned for a moment, and then pointed in the opposite direction to the cliff and said; "I don't know much about this palace, so let's look over there!"

As he spoke, he raised his whip and jerked the horse's buttocks.

"Driving ......"

The horse raised its front hooves and neighed, like an arrow off the string, and galloped away.

Suddenly, the sound of calls filled the depths of the dense forest startled the birds resting in the forest.

Xuanyuan Qi also called out hoarsely, "Brother Huang, where are you?" ”

The sky was getting dark, and a group of people were shuttling back and forth in the dense forest, exhausted one by one.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, it's been several hours, and I haven't found His Royal Highness King Hao, but what's the matter?"

Xuanyuan Qi squinted his eyes and peered in the dim dense forest, "If you are tired, rest first, and this palace will look for it alone." ”

His voice was a little hoarse, his throat was dry like a knife, and he pretended to be in pain and hammered his chest.

"It's all to blame for the carelessness of the palace, if the royal brother has any three strengths and two weaknesses here, the palace will definitely regret it."

Everyone looked at Xuanyuan Qi, and in addition to the worry about Xuanyuan Hao, there was also a sense of appreciation for Xuanyuan Qi.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really benevolent, affectionate and righteous, which is commendable!"

"Yes, the disappearance of His Royal Highness King Hao is all unexpected, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince does not have to blame himself."

Under the cover of the night, Xuanyuan Qi evoked a bloodthirsty smile, and the fishy sweet taste in his throat was slowly tasted by the tip of his tongue.

is what he wants, otherwise why would he bother to make such a heavy appearance of affection and righteousness.

Now that the anxiety and self-blame he showed were in full view, even if the news of Xuanyuan Hao's death came out, his father's side would be able to make a successful deal.

Xuanyuan Qi was proud, hooked the water bladder on the side of the horse's abdomen, and drank it in a big gulp.

Suddenly, one of the guards came rushing and fell to his knees.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, his subordinates have discovered the traces of His Royal Highness King Hao."

Xuanyuan Qi raised his eyebrows, and the water bladder in his hand had not yet been drunk, so he couldn't care about throwing it aside.

"Tell me, where?"

"Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, several of his subordinates found the corners of His Royal Highness King Hao's clothes on the edge of the Qingfeng Cliff on the west side."

As he spoke, the guards raised their hands and presented the fabric of Xuanyuan Hao's clothes and handed it to Xuanyuan Qi.

Xuanyuan Qi squinted his eyes and pulled the fabric from the guard's hand, rubbing it between his fingertips.

"That's right, this is the emperor's clothes," he had sharp eyes, and pulled the collar of the guard very excitedly, "Let's go, take the palace to the cliff to have a look." ”

"Yes, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, please go with your subordinates." The guards were a little frightened, but they still nodded their heads.

Xuanyuan Qi led everyone and walked towards the edge of the cliff of Qingfeng Mountain.

When he arrived at the edge of the cliff, Xuanyuan Qi took the lead in dismounting, and he ran to the edge of the cliff.

"Brother Huang, where are you?"

Then the people gathered together, and they all gathered on the edge of the cliff, and even lit torches and searched for a while on the edge of the cliff.

"His Royal Highness King Hao's clothes were found here, let's see if there are any other clues." 361 Reading

After a while, a young military general pointed to a series of footprints on the edge of the cliff and shouted, "Come and see, everyone, there are footprints left here." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone instantly surrounded him, showing a sad face.

"It seems that His Royal Highness King Hao is more than lucky."

The guards who had just discovered the corners of Xuanyuan Hao's clothes also stepped forward and pointed to the dead branches on the edge of the cliff.

"It was on this dead branch that my subordinates found His Royal Highness King Hao's clothes."

As soon as these words came out, Xuanyuan Qi immediately pushed aside the crowd and fell to the edge of the cliff all of a sudden, hammering the ground in grief.

"Brother Huang, why did you fall off the cliff? How does this make the imperial brother explain to his father? ”

In the dark night, only Xuanyuan Qi's hoarse sobs and the sighs of everyone could be heard.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, your condolences are smooth, this is all an accident, no one wants to see His Royal Highness King Hao fall off the cliff."

"Yes, since this is already the case, it is important that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should return to the palace as soon as possible to explain everything to the emperor."

Xuanyuan Qi's face hanging on the edge of the cliff was instantly dyed with a touch of joy, and the cruel color at the bottom of his eyes gradually faded, and he wiped the corners of his eyes.

"What everyone said is extremely true, without further ado, the palace immediately returned to the palace to explain this matter to my father."

As he spoke, Xuanyuan Hao immediately got up, turned sideways on the horse's back, and walked away.

Back in the palace, he went straight to the emperor's bedroom, and he deliberately pulled his clothes loose along the way.

In front of the Ziyang Palace, he gave a gift to the eunuch Zhang Gonggong who was on duty in front of the palace.

"Please ask Gonggong Zhang to spread the word, this palace has something important to ask to see my father."

Gonggong Zhang shook the dust in his hand and rested it on the side of his sleeve, and he stretched out his hand to block Xuanyuan Qi with an embarrassed face.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, the three concubines newly canonized by the emperor today are accompanying the emperor at this time! I'm afraid it's not convenient to ask to see me now! ”

Inconvenience?

Xuanyuan Qi's cold eyes swept over Grandpa Zhang, and he sneered in his heart.

But a little eunuch dared to show off his might in front of his dignified prince of a country, he simply didn't want to live!

Xuanyuan's eyes instantly became fierce, his face was cold, he pushed away Gonggong Zhang, and stepped forward to the door of the emperor's bedroom.

Sure enough, there was immediately the sound of frolicking and slapping in the hall, as well as the hoarse laughter of the emperor.

Xuanyuan gathered his eyes, took a deep breath, and suddenly knelt down at the door of the dormitory.

"Father, my son has something important to see!"

The sound of drums in the dormitory instantly stopped, and it was quiet, and after a while, the emperor's low voice was heard.

"Qi'er, is there anything you can't come back tomorrow at such a late hour?"

"Father, the stakes are so high, you can't delay it!"

"You can just talk about it outside!"

"Father, this matter should not be publicized, it is about the emperor's heir!"

The emperor's eyes immediately became solemn, and his face began to become serious.

"Qi'er, come in!"

Xuanyuan Qi got up at this time, pushed the door and walked in, and as soon as he raised his eyes, he saw a fragrant scene.

In the room, the emperor was dressed in a thin layer of profane clothes, half-open, and leaned on the bed.

On the bed, surrounded by beauties with half-exposed shoulders, it was today's new concubine.

Xuanyuan Qi immediately turned around and turned his back to the emperor.

"Father, can you temporarily retire from others?"

The emperor was slightly surprised when he saw Xuanyuan Qi in a mess, he gathered his clothes and raised his hand to wave towards the three beauties.

"Go down first!"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

After the three beauties glanced at each other, they put on their respective clothes and slowly retreated.

The emperor was helped up by the palace people and slowly sat down on the soft chair beside him.

"Qi'er, let's talk about it, what made you disheveled and came in a panic?"

Xuanyuan Qi turned his back and suddenly knelt at the emperor's feet, his voice hoarse and choked.

"Father, the six emperors have fallen off a cliff!"

"What?" The emperor was shocked, a pair of old eyes immediately widened, his palms grasped the armrests of the soft chair, trembling, "Who did you say fell off the cliff?" ”

Xuanyuan Qi pretended to be grief, wiped his tears, and hugged the emperor's leg.

"It's the sixth brother Hao Wang, he fell off the cliff in Qingfeng Mountain!"

Hearing this, the emperor's eyes darkened, and a fishy sweet taste rushed out of his throat.

The whole person instantly fell softly on the back of the soft chair as if he had exhausted all his strength.

His expression was gloomy, his whole face was dead, and he muttered to himself in despair.

"Hao'er...... Hao'er ...... He's dead, dead? ”

Then he shook his head suddenly, grabbed the teacup aside in disbelief, and threw it out.

"Impossible, Hao'er will definitely not die."

How could he die without his consent?

The emperor fell on the back of his chair, his eyes closed in the sky, and tears rolled down from the corners of his eyes.

Since he was a child, he has always deliberately ignored Hao'er, not because he doesn't like him, but because he is too much like his mother, Concubine Xiao.

Concubine Xiao's death was a lifelong pain in his heart, unbearable to recall, and it hurt at the touch.

Every time he saw Hao'er, his heart would be uncontrollable, and he would simply ignore him.
