"If you don't believe, go to Pingcheng and inquire yourself. Look at the people of Pingcheng, do they also think that this plague was manipulated by King Ming! ”

As soon as Yan Xi finished saying this, the entire Weiyang Palace instantly became silent.

Seeing that these people were speechless by his own words, Yan Xi was still a little unhappy in his heart.

What kind of life has Xiao Zhihan been living all these years! Even if the emperor's father is so biased, why are these ministers in the court deliberately targeting him one by one. Anything bad can be buckled on his head. I can't find those bad things, so I stubbornly say those good things are bad.

"This dinner is very boring, this king has taken the first step."

Xiao Zhihan saw that Yan Xi was angry, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he didn't plan to make any more false promises with these people, so he got up and walked towards the outside of Weiyang Palace.

Yan Xi glanced at Xiao Zhihan distressedly, and also got up and followed behind Xiao Zhihan.

When he reached no one, Yan Xi took two quick steps, stretched out his hand, and held Xiao Zhihan's hand.

Xiao Zhihan is the man she identifies, these people are not distressed, she herself is distressed.

"Ah, these popular people forgot to ask your emperor father for payment!"

Sensing Yan Xi's concern for him, Xiao Zhihan was about to hold Yan Xi in his arms, but saw Yan Xi say this sentence with a look of chagrin.

The little charm that rose in Xiao Zhihan's heart was instantly blown away, and he shook off Yan Xi's hand with the black lines on his head, and then strode towards the palace gate.

This woman can't get rid of her greed for money at any time!

Seeing the backs of Yan Xi and Xiao Zhihan leaving, the ministers in Weiyang Palace were speechless.

Over the years, they have deducted Xiao Zhihan with more crimes, and there are more than one or two more serious than this. But for so many years, Xiao Zhihan has never admitted or denied it. Over time, they got used to it.

At this time, when they saw Yan Xi arguing for Xiao Zhihan, they didn't even react.

Seeing Xiao Zhihan and Yan Xi leaving, Xiao Deyong and Xiao Chenyu's faces were the same ugly, but because of the loss, they could only watch dryly.

Soon after Xiao Zhihan left with Yan Xi, Xiao Deyong left with a black face. The hundred officials who were frightened because they witnessed Xiao Chenyu's ugly state throughout the whole process also found excuses to leave after Xiao Deyong left the table.

After seeing that everyone was gone, Xiao Chenyu went to the imperial study with a gloomy face.

"Father, the third brother is so disobedient to you, how can you let it go?"

Entering the imperial study, as soon as he saw Xiao Deyong, Xiao Chenyu's whole momentum weakened.

For so many years, he has been able to be favored in front of Xiao Deyong precisely because he knows current affairs and knows when to be strong and when to be weak.

"Prince, you come with me."

Seeing Xiao Chenyu's appearance, Xiao Deyong sighed.

It's time to tell him about Xiao Zhihan's sacrifice!

After saying this, Xiao Deyong put his hand on the dragon chair and twisted it hard. The wall on the south side of the study was instantly pushed open, and a secret room hidden behind the wall was instantly revealed.

The door of the secret room was opened, and Xiao Deyong stepped into the secret room first.

Although Xiao Chenyu was surprised that there was a secret room in the imperial study, he still followed Xiao Deyong into the secret room with a respectful face.

After entering the secret room, Xiao Chenyu was shocked by what he saw.

There was nothing else in the chamber, just an extremely detailed model of the mechanism. On top of the model were nine balls of various sizes. The balls rotated over and over again according to different rules, some of them were faster, some of them were slower.

"Father, this is ......"

Xiao Chenyu looked at Xiao Deyong with a surprised face.

"Disasters have descended into the world, and wars have broken out. If a family does not become a family, the country will not become a country. ”

As soon as Xiao Deyong entered the secret room, he looked at the mechanism model with an obsessive expression.

"Isn't that the oracle?"

Hearing Xiao Deyong reciting the heavenly oracle that the national teacher got after Xiao Zhihan was born, Xiao Chenyu's eyes widened suddenly.

After so many years of this, he even thought that his father didn't care at all. But now it seems that his father not only cares, but also thinks of countermeasures when all of them don't know.

"When the Calamity Star came to the world, I wanted to kill him. But the national teacher said that even if he killed the calamity, he couldn't change anything. Why don't you keep the calamity star for now, and see how this oracle can be resolved. ”

Xiao Deyong slowly fell into the memory, and the face that already had obvious signs of aging became a little hideous.

"This is the solution that the national teacher has found?"

Hearing Xiao Deyong's words, Xiao Chenyu asked tentatively.

"Yes, it took the national teacher five years to finally think of a way to deal with it. The national teacher calculated that when the calamity star was twenty-five years old, there would be a vision of a nine-star alignment, and then all the countries in the world would inevitably fall into turmoil. However, as long as we use the calamity star to sacrifice to the sky at the moment when the nine stars are aligned, the national fortune of Xiao Guo will be reversed in an instant. Not only will it not suffer any losses in the turmoil of the countries in the world, but it can also take the opportunity to annex the countries and become the hegemon of the world. ”

Xiao Deyong looked at the constantly running mechanism model, and a hint of madness appeared on his face.

That calamity star is now twenty-three, and in two years, it will be the day of the nine-star alignment. As long as the nine stars on this mechanism model are connected, he will personally kill the calamity star and sacrifice to the sky. At that time, Xiao Guo will become the only country in the world, and he will be worshiped and admired by the people of the world.

When Xiao Chenyu heard Xiao Deyong's words, he finally unraveled the incomprehension that had been hidden in his heart for so many years.

It's no wonder that his father obviously didn't want to see Xiao Zhihan, but he still tolerated him everywhere.

"Father, since this is the case, then we will leave the life of the calamity, why let him live in the palace and live happily, and oppose us everywhere?"

Thinking of the losses he had suffered at the hands of Xiao Zhihan, Xiao Chenyu's face became a little ugly.

It's just a sacrifice, and you dare to be so arrogant in front of him!

"Hmph, it's not like you don't know that every time I want to deal with that calamity, either the minister of the court dissuades me, or the calamity star puts on a dying appearance. Where do I dare to touch him? What if he has three long and two short, what should he do when the nine stars are aligned! ”

Hearing Xiao Chenyu's question, Xiao Deyong was also angry.

If he could, he would have locked up that scourge star, out of sight and out of mind. Where is it still the turn to get that calamity, it is not pleasant to find him everywhere.

"Father, I have a plan here, which can not only make those ministers in the court have nothing to say, but also make that disaster star be locked up willingly."

Seeing that Xiao Deyong was interested, Xiao Chenyu told him the strategy he had discussed with Fang Qi before to deal with Xiao Zhihan. It's just that when it came to the end of the strategy, Xiao Chenyu replaced the originally scheduled killing array with a trapped formation.

Now that he knows the identity of Xiao Zhihan's sacrifice, he can't let Xiao Zhihan die like this.

Xiao Deyong and Xiao Chenyu, father and son, discussed the countermeasures of calculating Xiao Zhihan in the secret room of the imperial study, but Xiao Zhihan and Yan Xi returned to the Ming Palace.

After arriving at the Ming Palace, Yan Xi was greeted by Liang Zhao's extremely sad face.

He was hidden in that corner by Yan Xi, and he couldn't move, and no one could find him at all. Besides, everyone in the palace knew that he and the prince had gone to the palace, and no one would look for him before the prince returned. So he stood in that corner and fed the mosquitoes for the whole afternoon.

If it weren't for the shadow guards who secretly protected the prince, they sent back the news that it was Miss Yan who was following the prince, I am afraid that no one in the mansion would notice that he was plotted by Yan Xi.

Although he was rescued, he was ridiculed by those shadow guards for more than an hour.

I thought that he was the number one master of a cadre platoon, but he was planted in the hands of a girl without any power to fight back. If this gets out, his face will be completely unplaced.

In order not to make himself a joke after dinner for all the shadow guards, Liang Zhao coerced and seduced him, and finally sealed the mouths of the shadow guards who saved him.

After that, Liang Zhao stayed outside the Ming Palace, waiting for Xiao Zhihan and Yan Xi to come back.

"Lord Wang, Miss Yan, you can be regarded as back."

Seeing Xiao Zhihan and Yan Xi walking side by side from a distance, Liang Zhao greeted him with a sad face. When greeting Yan Xi, the grievance on Liang Zhao's face was a little thicker.

"Yo, isn't this Liang Zhao? I was going to save you, but you've already been saved first! ”

Seeing the grievances on Liang Zhao's face, Yan Xi couldn't help but smile.

In order to prevent Xiao Zhihan from discovering that she had changed her appearance into Liang Zhao, she deliberately sealed Liang Zhao's acupoint and hid him in a corner where absolutely no one usually goes.

Originally, he planned to unlock Liang Zhao's acupoint after he came back, but now that he was alive, Yan Xi also saved a lot of trouble.

"Miss Yan, you ......"

Seeing the smile on Yan Xi's face, the resentment in Liang Zhao's heart deepened.

How could Miss Yan be like this, he had been feeding mosquitoes in that corner for a long time, why didn't Miss Yan even have a trace of guilt!

"Liang Zhao."

Reality is always cruel, Liang Zhao did not wait for Yan Xi to feel even the slightest guilt, but waited for Xiao Zhihan's voice with a little coldness.

"Lord Wang."

Hearing Xiao Zhihan's voice, Liang Zhao only felt a cold wind pouring straight into his back.

The prince said that he would not bring Miss Yan into the palace. As a result, not only did Miss Yan follow the prince into the palace, but he, who was supposed to be by the prince's side to protect him personally, stayed in the palace.

What a dereliction of duty!

"Lord Wang, my subordinates will go and receive the punishment."

Knowing that Xiao Zhihan was going to settle accounts with him, Liang Zhao shrank his neck, and without waiting for Xiao Zhihan to speak, he immediately turned around and went to the torture hall.

He went over by himself, and the gang in the torture hall could still do it lightly. If the prince is allowed to give orders, those people will not be able to beat him up.

Seeing Liang Zhao drooping and walking in the direction of the torture hall, Yan Xi looked at Xiao Zhihan with a smile. As soon as he turned around, he just met Xiao Zhihan's smiling eyes.

"Xiao Zhihan, you should actually smile more. If you smile often, maybe those people won't be so afraid of you. ”

Seeing Xiao Zhihan's eyes like ice and snow melting, Yan Xi sighed sincerely.

Xiao Zhihan heard Yan Xi's words, glanced at Yan Xi, didn't say anything more, and walked straight into King Ming's mansion.

Back in Mufeng Garden, Yan Xi opened the mechanism in Mufeng Garden and went back to his room to rest.
