The room was silent, and the needle drop could be heard.

Xiao Yuan closed his lips tightly, he turned around, walked to the wall, and sat down cross-legged in a wall-facing position.

Huo Roufeng looked at the cold green brick floor, and sighed with emotion, it's so good that a child who doesn't grow up is really good, and he doesn't feel cold.

She turned around and walked out of the room, taking the birdcage as she was leaving.

Zhanhuai was waiting for her outside, and when he saw her come out, he helped her carry the birdcage and asked, "What are you doing with this?" ”

"Wait for him to ask for it." Huo Roufeng grinned the corners of her mouth, revealing a big smile.

Back in the house, Zhan Huai frowned, listening to her finish the story Xiao Yuan told, he asked: "If that person from the Taiping Society is indeed from the royal family, then this person is really terrible, he actually stung in wait for more than ten years, and sent someone to join forces with King Rong, I even suspect that the reason why King Rong raised troops has a lot to do with him." ”

Huo Roufeng nodded: "Yes, King Rong became a vassal at the age of thirteen, and he was his idle and rich prince in the northwest, who would have thought that he would be the opposite." If there is no one to plot it, I do not believe. ”

Zhanhuai called Ah Youyanmo, and he picked up a pen and wrote a few names on the paper.

Huo Roufeng's eyes lit up, and he simply picked up a pen and added a few names to the paper.

The names are connected in series, the first emperor, the queen mother, Prince Xiang, Jinshang, King Rong, and King Qing.

Next came several illustrious princes, King Shou, King Fu, King Ning, King Chun, and King Hui.

Among them, Prince Hui drowned in the Imperial Garden at the age of fourteen, and three months later, Prince Xiang died.

Prince Hui knew something he shouldn't know, and he was killed, but it was reasonable, so what about Prince Xiang? Is it also the mouth of the people who have been killed? Who dares to kill the crown prince?

Huo Roufeng laughed, and said to Zhanhuai: "Look, the two of us really fell into his trap, he told a story in hiding, we thought about it for a long time, maybe we will go to war and send someone to investigate, if what he said is not true, then we will not be played around by him." ”

Zhanhuai also smiled, threw aside the piece of paper full of names, and said, "Then let's dry this little ghost's head first, and I'll let people interrogate Cui Niangzi." ”

Huo Roufeng said: "Let's change the place of the gatekeeper first, this place can't keep her." ”

That night, Cui Niangzi was transferred to the dungeon of the former Rong Palace.

The Rongwang Mansion was rebuilt from the palace of the vassal kings of the previous dynasty, and the dungeon did not occupy a large area, which was there before. Now that King Rong's Mansion has been abandoned for a few years, the dungeon is still usable.

Huo Roufeng had long known that Zhanhuai's subordinates had a set of methods for interrogating prisoners, and it was difficult for anyone to escape, but if they were replaced by Cui Niangzi, it would be difficult to say.

Huo Roufeng didn't guess wrong, no matter what method was used, Cui Niangzi just didn't say a word, and later, she was so sleepy and hungry that she fainted, but she still closed her lips tightly after waking up.

Huo Roufeng couldn't help but think of Xiao Ye, when Xiao Ye interrogated A Yan and a few people, he gave them medicine, and those people were confused and had to answer their questions.

It's a pity that she doesn't know whether Xiao Ye is alive or dead.

Ten days passed in a blink of an eye, and one day, Huo Roufeng was talking to Jiang Boru, Zhang Ting came in and whispered to Huo Roufeng: "Fifth grandmother, Xiao Yuan doesn't eat or drink, I want that little bird." ”

Huo Roufeng smiled and said to Jiang Boru: "Old man, I won." ”

Jiang Boru snorted coldly, touched his goatee, and said to Huo Roufeng: "I am willing to lose the bet, this matter is left to me." ”

Previously, Huo Roufeng made a bet with Jiang Boru that she bet that Xiao Yuan would definitely ask for the bird, Jiang Boru disdained, he thought that although Shen Yuan was not very old, he would not do such a childish thing because he had endured humiliation for many years.

As it turned out, Huo Roufeng won.

The next day, Jiang Boru carried the bird cage to Xiaoyuan's courtyard.

Although there is only a "child" locked up inside, Zhanhuai is not negligent, the courtyard is heavily guarded, and Xiao Yuan's daily life is taken care of by two women, both of whom have martial arts.

When Jiang Boru came in, Xiao Yuan was still in the same posture of facing the wall, but this time, he was wiping his tears.

Jiang Boru stood beside him, condescendingly looking at the little boy sitting on the ground, for a long time, he put the birdcage in his hand in front of Xiao Yuan, sighed and said: "It's a little strange to be old, as Prince Hui, even if you just hold a child to inherit the incense, you will only be selected in the clan, and it is also the generation that you deserve, so, where did you get it from?" ”

The clan never selected children from the people to inherit the prince's incense.

Prince Hui is a royal orthodox person, and to give him a child who inherits incense, he must be approved by the Zongren Mansion and the Son of Heaven.

Xiao Yuan seemed to have collapsed out of the stone, and he couldn't even find out where he picked him up.

Xiao Yuan raised his head violently and glared at the strange old man in front of him: "Who are you?" ”

"The surname is Jiang." Jiang Boru said.

"Surname Jiang?" Xiao Yuan frowned, as if searching for something in his memory, and suddenly, two sparks flashed in his eyes.

"Is that the Jiang family?" He asked.

Jiang Boru touched his beard: "It's the Jiang family." ”

Xiao Yuan slowly stood up and smiled dumbly.

After a while, he said, "Is Huo Jiu ready?" ”

Jiang Boru smiled: "There is still a lack of an east wind." ”

"Dongfeng?" Xiao Yuan turned his head to look at Jiang Boru.

Jiang Boru smiled at the corner of his mouth, and the corners of his eyes narrowed slightly, showing a few deep lines.

"The old man pinched his fingers, this east wind should be blowing from the capital, then it will be easy to use."

Xiao Yuan sneered: "But what's in it for me?" ”

"Good thing, avenging your father's revenge, is this a benefit?" Jiang Boru is like a kind old man, every wrinkle is full of love, he looks at Xiao Yuan, like a kind old grandfather.

Obuchi was silent.

"Alas, Prince Hui was only fourteen years old when he died, but the children in the palace were fourteen or fifteen years old, and there was a Yanxi palace maid by his side. It's a pity that the cause of Prince Hui's death is suspicious, and some people don't want him to have a biological son, lest the child rely on his identity and investigate the cause of his father's death when he grows up. So he simply made some effort, and regarded the bloodline of King Hui as a moth, just an heir, and he could enjoy the glory and wealth...... Is it right? ”

Xiao Yuan didn't speak, he looked Jiang Boru up and down, a pair of originally clear big eyes were confused, as if covered with a layer of fog.

"Regarding your life experience, Lao Shou Wang and Lao Shou Princess must know, and Lao Shou Wang Gui is the sect order, I am afraid that he handled this matter single-handedly, so you can easily live in Shou Wangfu and get the protection of Shou Wangfu."

"Alas, there is also that Xie Sicheng, who is obviously his own son, but he has to be raised as a righteous son, which is exactly the same as you."
