At that moment, Xu Changping really felt that he was afraid that he was not old, and he had already begun to hallucinate, and subconsciously asked, "What?" ”

"Go find someone." It was rare for Mu Fan to repeat what he had said.

"Your Highness, what do you mean by that?" At this time, Xu Changping was sure that there was nothing wrong with his ears, "Don't you want Huai'er to detoxify this Gu poison as soon as possible?" ”

"Of course." Mu Fan glanced at Xu Changping expressionlessly, "There is Mr. Lao Xu." ”

Xu Changping felt a little confused, the development of this matter was not right, shouldn't he immediately order Lian'er to be executed, and quickly detoxify Xia Huai's Gu poison?

You must know that it is Xia Huai who is in the Gu, and it is Xia Huai who will die soon, how can Mu Fan still act like he is okay in this case?

His Royal Highness knew that Xia Huai was Zichen back then, that was his childhood playmate, his favorite child of Aunt Zhixi, how could he do this to him?

Even if he ignores his childhood affection, Xia Huai is the elder brother of Xia Yan's mother, a relative of His Royal Highness's sweetheart, and it is likely to be his future eldest brother, if he is known by Xia Huai and Mrs. Xia, can he still get it? Do you want to offend Xia Yan's entire family?

What's more, with Xia Yan's temper, if he knew that Mu Fan had treated his brother like this, I am afraid that he would not give him a good look again.

"Your Highness, are you serious?" Xu Changping was afraid that Mu Fan wouldn't be able to figure out what was going on, after all, whenever he encountered something related to Xia Yan, his thinking would become a little strange, "That's Xia Huai!" It's Yan'er's brother! Don't you want him to be your big brother? ”

"That's why you went to find someone." Mu Fan's facial expression did not change, but the roots of his ears gradually turned red, "Find someone as soon as possible, and Xia Huai will be able to recover as soon as possible." ”

"Your Highness, when is it time for you to still go around in circles with me." Xu Changping's voice couldn't help but be a little louder, "You know that the fastest way to save Xia Huai is to kill the Gu people, why do you still use this method of sacrificing the near and far?" I know Lian'er is in your hands, why don't you just execute her? A girl who is bent on harming Yan'er, what are you keeping her for? ”

"It's none of your business." Xu Changping knew that Lian'er was in his hands, Mu Fan didn't feel strange at all, just looked at him flatly, "You just have to do what I say." ”

"Your Highness, is this lotus so important to you? Even Xia Huai didn't care about her for her? For Xia Huai, and even more for Xia Yan, Xu Changping had no choice but to be cheeky to figure out what was going on, "If it's someone else's business, I won't ask, but it's about the two of them, I have to ask, what are you going to do with Lian'er?" You've been sending out secret guards a lot lately, what are you going to do? ”

"I said, it's none of your business." Mu Fan's expression was indifferent, and the shyness he had before had long since disappeared, "You just need to keep in touch with that side." ”

Mu Fan paused for a moment, stared at Xu Changping's face carefully, and suddenly sneered: "You have been quite busy recently, and you have lost a lot of weight." It seems that Mr. Xu is old, and he can even be tired of receiving secret letters. It's better to take this opportunity to give Mr. Xu a vacation. You are only responsible for finding someone, and leaving other things to others to do, and you don't have to do anything wrong behind my back. ”

It was rare for Mu Fan to say so many words, but Xu Changping was not only not excited, but as if he had entered an ice cellar, his whole body was cold, and his back and forehead were covered with cold sweat.

What does this mean, Your Highness?

Is he complaining that he is hiding something from him, or does he feel that he has betrayed him and begins to doubt himself?

If it's the former, it's okay, it's a big deal to admit your mistake and tell him what you've done recently.

But if His Highness's trust in him is lost, the consequences will be unimaginable.

"Your Highness!" Xu Changping couldn't care about Lian'er's affairs anymore, and bowed deeply to Mu Fan, "I don't know if you have any misunderstanding about me, but things are definitely not what you imagined." ”

"Misunderstanding?" Mu Fan glanced at Xu Changping indifferently, "Mr. Xu, you are joking, you have always acted above board, what misunderstanding can I have about you?" Anyway, you are also my teacher, so you don't have to bow to me. ”

The more insipid Mu Fan became, the more uneasy Xu Changping felt in his heart, how could he not understand the dissatisfaction in Mu Fan's words?

I saw that he didn't even have time to wipe the sweat drops off his head, and hurriedly said, "Your Highness, if you mean something a few days ago, I can give you an explanation." ”

Xu Changping was bitter in his heart.

A few days ago, he received a secret letter from the capital, which Mu Fan knew.

According to the previous habit, this kind of secret letter must let Mu Fan pass the purpose.

But because this secret letter was written by the emperor to Mu Fan, he actually hid it by a ghost.

After all these days, Mu Fan didn't mention the secret letter, and he thought that His Royal Highness was not interested in that letter, but who knew that it had been kept in his heart until today.

"Explain?" Mu Fan shook his head, "No need. ”

"......"

Xu Changping was about to say something, but he heard Mu Fan continue: "That letter is about my father? And only you don't want me to know about him. ”

"Yes." was guessed by Mu Fan, and Xu Changping had no choice but to admit it.

Since the death of the queen immortal, the relationship between the father and son has become more and more tense day by day, and in the end it has reached the point where water and fire are incompatible, otherwise Mu Fan would not have come to this remote mountain village to stay for so many years.

In fact, they could have chosen a better place to live together, and they didn't have to nest in this small place, but because of the Xia family, Mu Fan chose to stay in Bianxi Village, where there was nothing.

But this is also a good thing, not only found out that Yan Zhixi was still alive, but also made him meet the person he liked.

Although it was Mu Fan's own will to stay here, in the final analysis, it was His Majesty the Emperor himself who drove them out of the capital.

He drove his own son thousands of miles away from home, and he didn't even meet once in a few years, and he didn't even have words of concern, which shows how much this father hates his son.

This son is not much better, although there has been a steady stream of information from the capital in the past few years, but he would rather listen to some short stories about the family of chickens and dogs than to know the specific situation of his father.

His Majesty had a serious illness two years ago, and all the princes who were away from home returned to the capital to serve without exception, but Mu Fan, who heard this, just said a faint "um" and then said nothing.

When someone asked him if he wanted to return to Beijing, Mu Fan not only severely punished the person who inquired, but also said lightly: "When he sees me, he is afraid that he will be more sick." ”

Since then, no one has mentioned His Majesty the Emperor in front of Mu Fan.

I don't know what happened back then, so that a good father and son became enemies today.

In Xu Changping's opinion, as long as His Majesty the Emperor was still alive, Mu Fan did not want to return to Beijing on the same day.

In addition, he probably guessed the content of the letter from the information he had collected these days, and he really didn't want Mu Fan to take this risk, so he hid the secret letter on his own initiative.

"What does the letter say?" Hearing Xu Changping's admission, Mu Fan still looked indifferent, "The father died, or did the prince usurp power?" ”

"I haven't read the letter." Xu Changping only felt that his head was too big, how could anyone say it so indifferently in the face of his father's death and his brother's usurpation?

Xu Changping couldn't help but imagine that if His Majesty really died, he didn't know how Mu Fan would react.

Before Xu Changping could come up with a result, he heard Mu Fan continue: "Bring the letter." ”

"Yes." Xu Changping hurriedly came back to his senses and took out the secret letter he carried with him from his arms.

Although he never intended to read the letter, it was written by the emperor himself, and he always carried it with him in order to prevent it from being seen by others.

Xu Changping handed the letter to Mu Fan, and while he was answering the letter, he quietly glanced at his face, wanting to observe his expression at the moment.

As expected, Mu Fan still didn't react much, and he still looked indifferent.

Mu Fan quietly looked at the intact lead seal, this lead seal was caused by special materials, if it was opened once, it would never return to its original appearance, so he believed that Xu Changping had really not read this letter.

Gently opened the letter and took it out, Mu Fan, who had read the secret letter, did not respond immediately, but sat quietly at the desk, not knowing what he was thinking.

After being silent for a long time, Mu Fan finally spoke: "Mr. Xu." ”

"Yes."

"Guess what my father said?"

"Your Majesty wants to summon you back to Beijing."

"That's right."

Xu Changping was able to guess the content of the letter, and Mu Fan was not surprised at all.

As the crown prince and the prince back then, it would be strange if he didn't even have this ability.

After replying to the word "yes", Mu Fan was gone, and the air in the study instantly quieted, and the two could only hear their own breathing.

"Father and Emperor Thaki's letter only said that I should return to Beijing on the same day, but did not say what to do when I went back." I don't know how long it took, Mu Fan finally spoke, "Mr. Xu may have guessed what my father meant?" ”

"Your Majesty, he ......" Xu Changping paused for a moment, seemingly hesitating, but after a while, he gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid he wants you to go to the west." ”

"Westside?" Mu Fan was stunned, and then sneered, "Even my deported son has to be sent, it seems that he has no one to use." I don't know if he thinks about me as a person, or if he thinks about the silver taels left by his mother. ”

"Will you go?" Xu Changping asked while looking at Mu Fan's face.

"Go, why not?" After Mu Fan scanned the letter again, he gently folded it, lit it close to the candle, and looked at the burning flame leisurely, as if something was shining in his deep eyes, "Since the son is a courtier, he must not disobey the emperor's order, since it is the secret decree of the father, I, as a son, must abide by it." ”
