Xiao Cong's face turned pale.

Old Madam Xiao's face was not much better, Ah Chu was her first great-grandson, and she didn't want anything to happen to Ah Chu.

At this time, a faint voice said: "Our Xiao family has not participated in the struggle for imperial power since ancient times, and even if there were eight princes before, we have never stood in line, let alone now.

"If so... That's also Achu's bad luck, and he can't go against the ancestral family motto for his sake..."

Xiao Cong's eyes widened, he looked over, and shouted, "Fifth uncle, what are you talking about?" Achu also grew up with you, how can you bear to watch him have an accident? ”

Perhaps it was Xiao Cong's incredulous and deeply condemning gaze that stung Xiao Wu, and he turned his face away from Xiao Cong's gaze.

The atmosphere in the hall became a little awkward for a moment, and everyone was silent.

A small servant ran over and said, "Old lady, the imperial doctor has finished treating the fifth prince, and I heard that the injury is not light..."

Hearing this, everyone's faces changed slightly.

Old Madam Xiao hurriedly asked, "What about Ah Chu?" How is he? ”

The little guy replied: "I heard that he was locked up in the Five Princes' Mansion, what is the specific situation, the little one can't find out." ”

"You go down first."

Old lady Xiao waved away the little guy and said to everyone: "It seems that the fifth prince wants us to take the initiative to ask for someone." ”

Xiao Cong immediately stood up: "Grandfather, I'm Achu's father, so I'll go." ”

Old Lady Xiao nodded: "You are the son of the sect, it is naturally the most suitable for you to go, but you have to remember clearly that the ancestral family motto cannot be violated." If the request of the five princes is too much, it cannot be agreed.

"Remember, no matter what happens, you must be calm, no matter what the five princes ask, we will think about it in the long term after returning home."

"Yes, grandfather."

......

Deli looked at the five princes lying on the couch leisurely, a little incredible, the five princes had gauze wrapped around their arms, which looked scary, but in fact it was not serious, it was just a little skin and a little blood. This is simply not worth mentioning for their martial arts students, and it will be done with some medicine.

Of course, the other party is a nobleman and a nobleman, so naturally he can't be the same as them.

"Your Highness..."

Deli hesitated for a long time, but still asked the doubts in his heart: "Your Highness, my subordinates don't understand very well, although your injuries this time are not too serious, but it is really too dangerous to fall off the horse, if it is...

"My subordinates feel that for the sake of Xiao Chu's kid, there is really no need to take such a big risk.

"You're the prince, if you really get hurt, you'll lose a lot because of a small loss."

The fifth prince did not have any pain after being injured, but was full of energy, and his smile showed pride: "That is my beloved horse, I have a heart with it, how can it really hurt me."

"I just decided to do it when the time came, do you think I'm going to make fun of my body?

"What a joke.

"Not to mention Xiao Chu's little hairy child, even the entire Xiao family is not worth risking my life.

"If it weren't foolproof, this prince wouldn't have made such a loss-making deal."

Deli put his mind at ease, and at the same time admired the five princes in his heart, he was brave and strategic, and he was decisive, and the position of the prince should be suitable for the five princes to sit.

"Your Highness, is it any use for you to lock up Xiao Chu?"

The fifth prince smiled: "It's very useful, don't underestimate Xiao Chu, although he is only fifteen years old, he is already a two-rank jinshi, and he is now a science detective, and Tong Mokang's kid is out of the limelight."

"The Xiao family's generation has such an excellent son, how could Old Lady Xiao watch him have an accident? He will never be allowed to have the slightest stain on him.

"Those stubborn old men of the Xiao family, talk to them well, they don't listen, they don't know how to lift.

"Now that Xiao Chu is in my hands, I want to see how those pretentious people of the Xiao family come to ask for this prince."

The corners of the fifth prince's mouth crossed with a touch of pride, his eyes became fierce, everything was under his control, and no one could resist.

A voice came from outside the door: "Your Highness, Grand Prince Xiao asks to see you." ”

"Look, he's coming." The fifth prince's smile deepened.

......

When she heard the news last night, Mrs. Tong immediately rushed to Gan's mansion and didn't return to the mansion until early the next morning.

"Hello to my father."

Tong Mokang greeted Master Tong and Mrs. Tong in an orderly manner, and asked again: "Mother, is my cousin okay?" ”

Tong Yingying on the side said coldly: "How can it be okay?" The strangulation marks on the neck are so deep that I don't think I can go down without a month.

"Well, I can't go out to meet people..."

"Warbler."

Mrs. Tong glanced at her, and she immediately closed her mouth.

Seeing that she was honest, Mrs. Tong said to Tong Mokang: "Don't worry, it's not as exaggerated as Yingying said, it's just that Lulu drilled the tip of the horn for a while, and it will be fine after a while."

"Don't go to see her, lest she be irritated."

Tong Mokang responded: "Yes, mother." ”

Master Tong frowned slightly, looked at Tong Mokang and said, "I heard that you are going to the banquet of the Five Princes today?" ”

Tong Mokang replied respectfully: "Yes, Dad." ”

Master Tong's brows furrowed even deeper: "The matter between you and your cousin will be handled by your mother, don't interfere, it's just that the matter of the fifth prince needs to be cautious."

"I've inquired, the five princes invited to the banquet this time are all ministers of the third grade or above in the court and the students on the list of this department, Your Majesty has been unwell recently, and the five princes have set up a banquet on a large scale, which is obviously a party for personal gain, don't go today."

Mrs. Tong said worriedly: "However, the fifth prince is now powerful, and he is the most favored prince of His Majesty, he invited Mo Kang, but Mo Kang did not go, wouldn't he offend the five princes." ”

"That's right, but Your Majesty is the most taboo prince to make friends with ministers, even if the fifth prince is His Majesty's favorite prince, if he violates His Majesty's taboo, I'm afraid there will be no good fruit to eat." Master Tong pondered for a moment, and said to Tong Mokang: "In this way, if you send someone to the Five Princes, you will say that you are infected with the wind and cold and can't go, so don't go out these days." ”

Tong Mokang didn't really want to go, but when he heard Master Tong's arrangement, there was no reason not to agree: "Yes, Dad." ”

"The boy quit first."

Tong Yingying stood up: "My daughter also retired first." ”

After speaking, he chased Tong Mokang away.

"Third brother."

Tong Yingying pulled Tong Mokang aside and asked in a low voice, "Third brother, do you really want to marry Weiwei?" ”

Tong Mokang looked serious and nodded very seriously, "Yes." ”

"However, Dad doesn't seem to agree." Tong Yingying paused for a moment and continued: "I accidentally heard the conversation between my father and mother yesterday, saying that the Xiao family is the strength that all the princes want to fight for, and Weiwei is the only girl in the Xiao family who has not yet discussed marriage, and there are many people who are worried about it.

"You know, Dad is a pure minister, and he doesn't want to get involved in partisan disputes, and Dad means that he doesn't seem to want to marry this family."
