The next day, when the first rays of sunlight shone into the room, Ling Xuan woke up from his dream.

A series of violent knocks on the door caught Ling Xuan a little off guard, and he suddenly opened his eyes, his face was solemn, and he subconsciously thought that it was a robber! When he adjusted his emotions and listened carefully to the shouts outside the door, he realized that the voice was so familiar, and a trace of excitement flashed on his face.

As soon as Ling Xuan opened the door, a black shadow outside the door hugged Ling Xuan, making Ling Xuan a little confused, but he didn't react like he did when he met an enemy, and his body was still relaxed, because the other party was not an enemy, it was his second brother.

Ling Xuan was really helpless, "Second brother, don't be like this, you pressed my neck and made me a little breathless." ”

Ling Jian was so excited that he seemed to have forgotten Ling Xuan's feelings, although Ling Xuan was a little uncomfortable, he was very happy in his heart. Ling Jian hadn't seen Ling Xuan for many years, so why shouldn't Ling Xuan? His excitement was not much worse than Ling Jian's, probably because the character that Ling Xuan had cultivated over the years made his face a little calm and flat.

Ling Jian reluctantly let go of his third brother, looked at his third brother well, and looked at Ling Xuan's face, Ling Jian suddenly sighed with some emotion Time flies, "Third brother, I haven't seen you for many years, you have grown so big, if you meet you on the street, I really can't recognize your second brother." ”

Ling Xuan smiled, why shouldn't he?

Ling Xuan thought that Ling Jian had come to his room in such a hurry to find him, it must have been told by his eldest brother, because he had come back quietly last night and had only seen Ling Rui. But that's fine, he also wants to meet his second brother, and it's not bad to have this opportunity.

"Second brother, come, sit. ”

Ling Xuan thought that he hadn't seen him for a long time, so he wanted to sit down with Ling Jian and have a good talk, but Ling Jian smiled and waved his hand.

"Third brother, I won't sit down, I came today to see you, and my father learned that you were back, so let you go over. ”

Ling Xuan remembered what Ling Rui said last night, pondered for a moment, and said, "Okay, second brother, you go over first, I'll wash up and go over." ”

"Good"

Ling Jian patted Ling Xuan on the shoulder and left first.

...

When Ling Xuan arrived at Ling Wu's study, the sun in the sky was completely exposed.

The coolness of the air gradually dissipated, and the temperature slowly rose.

Ling Xuan entered the study, saw that the eldest brother, the second brother, and his father were already seated, politely bowed his hand, and then sat down on the chair next to him at Ling Wu's signal.

Ling Xuan looked at Ling Wu and asked straight to the point, "Father, you are in a hurry to find me back, what is the matter?"

Ling Wu sighed slightly and said, "Xuan'er, I called you back because of His Majesty's birthday banquet, although it is inconvenient for you to come forward, but my father thinks that you should still go and have a look, after all, your imperial uncle misses you very much." ”

Hearing this, Ling Xuan fell into deep thought, he needed to think about this matter. Seeing Ling Xuan's thoughtful appearance, Ling Rui smiled lightly and said, "Third brother, I know what you're worried about, you can just use Lin Xuan's identity, there's no problem." ”

Ling Xuan was still a little worried, "As Lin Xuan, I'm just an ordinary person, how can I participate in this kind of royal banquet, let alone His Majesty's birthday banquet." And many people know me, will it bring trouble to King Xuan's Mansion?"

Ling Xuan's words made everyone fall into deep thought, bowing their heads and being speechless.

Ling Rui felt that he was indeed inconsiderate in this matter.

Although it had not been long since Ling Xuan returned to the Holy Heaven City, since he got acquainted with Murong Yiyi and the others, he had met many high-ranking and dignitaries, such as Zhao Hai and Zhang Yu. On the day of His Majesty's birthday banquet, these sons will also come forward, so the relationship between Ling Xuan and Xuanwangfu may not be hidden.

After pondering for consideration, Ling Wu suddenly smiled, looked at Ling Xuan and said, "Xuan'er, you have considered it thoroughly, and my father is deeply pleased, I don't know ...... Are you still having a bare of madness?"

Ling Xuan thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "Father, now that my madness can be controlled, it won't happen again. ”

Hearing this, Ling Rui and Ling Jian were also very happy, madness had caused Ling Xuan to suffer for many years, and in fact, it had always been their heart disease.

Ling Wu nodded with a smile, let out a long sigh, got up and put his hands behind him, looked ahead and continued: "Xuan'er, at that time, I asked you to conceal your identity and enter Changqi Academy, because your strength was too weak at that time, and your madness was not good, and I was afraid that I would be caught by them." Now it seems that Xuan'er, you have the strength to protect yourself, and the most important thing is that if your madness is cured, you won't have so many worries, your identity will be exposed sooner or later, just sooner or later. ”

Ling Wu's words, Ling Xuan understood, nodded and thought, and suddenly said, "Father, can you tell me now, why did you send me away back then, is it really just because the Two Sleeves Mountain Villa is suitable for meditation and cultivation?"

Ling Wu's explanation back then was like this, when he was young, Ling Xuan didn't think much about it, now that he thought about it, Ling Xuan felt that it didn't seem to be as simple as he thought at this time, maybe there was a deeper reason.

He wanted to know, he had the right to know.

Ling Wu sighed again, "Xuan'er, now that you are also older, there are some things that you should indeed know, and your father should no longer hide them from you. The battle of the demon conquest back then, although it was victorious, it was not easy, especially when your mother became an innocent victim of that battle, and when she returned to Shengtian City, there was a lot of discussion in the court because she learned that your mother was killed and that you were infected with demonic energy. ”

Ling Xuan frowned and asked, "Why?"

Ling Wu glanced at Ling Xuan and continued: "That's because everyone in your mother's concubine's tent is dead except for you, so your survival makes people suspicious, many ministers in the court say that you have an ominous background and will bring disaster to the Celestial Empire, and some people suspect me that I have engaged in an unknown affair with the people of the Demon Domain to save your life, I am really at a loss for words." Later, because of my bitter pleas and the persuasion of His Majesty, the matter was suppressed. Unexpectedly, when you were seven years old, that is, your first attack of madness, the matter was opened again, and in desperation, I had to send you away. ”

Of course, because of this incident that year, Ling Wu took the initiative to withdraw from the government and the opposition and became an idle prince. However, it was impossible for Ling Xuan to know these details.

I see.

After hearing this, Ling Xuan lowered his head and fell into silence, unable to speak.

Mood suddenly came to a low level.

Seeing that Ling Xuan was a little remorseful, Ling Wu smiled and said, "Xuan'er, this matter has nothing to do with you, and now my father has told you that he wants you, like your two elder brothers, to see the current situation clearly and understand some things early. You don't have to worry about what you just said, but your father wants to know what is going on in your heart. ”

Hearing Ling Wu say this, Ling Xuan looked up at Ling Wu, and then swept over Ling Rui Ling Jian, Ling Rui nodded lightly, there was encouragement and encouragement hidden in his eyes, so that Ling Xuan didn't care.

Ling Xuan was not stupid, he naturally understood in his heart.

Ling Xuan pondered for a moment and said, "Father, I don't think I can attend His Majesty's birthday banquet as my true identity, it's too early at this time, but I can celebrate Your Majesty as Ling Xuan's friend, and give Xi'er a gift by the way." ”

Ling Rui glanced at Ling Xuan and thought that this was a very good idea, killing two birds with one stone, and couldn't help but smile.

Hearing what Ling Xuan said, Ling Wu glanced at Ling Rui, and Ling Xuan nodded at him.

Ling Wu comprehended, "That's fine, Xuan'er, just like you said." ”

......

His Majesty's birthday banquet of the Celestial Empire is approaching, and the entire Holy Heavenly City is lively, it should be said that it is even more lively. The heat of yesterday's Tianqing Festival has not yet dissipated, followed by His Majesty's birthday banquet two days later, and the excitement is unimaginable.

In the middle of the city, on the street, two very handsome and handsome men looked happy and excited in the crowd, smiling, such beautiful eyes and faces really don't look like men, more like girls.

Obviously, these are two girls, with good eyesight, and they can see it at a glance.

Ling Xi'er was really playful, and somehow, she pulled Xiao Ling out again, Xiao Ling was very reluctant, but she couldn't resist them, the princess. He followed behind him with a nervous expression, a little at a loss, and pulled Ling Xi'er and whispered: "Princess, we sneaked out again this time, be cautious in everything." ”

Ling Xi'er shook off her hand and said with some anger: "Who said I ran out secretly? Last night I told my father that I wanted to prepare a gift for my father, and my father loved me, so he naturally let me come out! ”

Xiao Ling thought about how I didn't know, but the heart she was carrying dropped a little, but she still sighed helplessly.

Ling Xi'er's beautiful eyes moved, and she said firmly and forcefully: "This year, I must prepare a special birthday gift for my father." ”

"Let's go, let's take a look around. ”
