Xiao Hu died.

died in the Xiao family's mansion, no more, no less, just one hundred and eight knives in his body.

When Xiao Lianxu arrived, the corpse was already cold. Not long after, King Ling also rushed over from the palace, and the funeral of the Xiao family had already begun.

"Do you know who did it?"

"Back to Your Highness, I don't have a clue for the time being, but it is certain that it must be the enemy who is looking for revenge, and it is a big enemy. Grandpa he ...... I was going to leave tomorrow for my ...... hometown."

One hundred and eight knives, what kind of hatred is this! For an old minister of the Three Dynasties who has been in the limelight all his life, it is really embarrassing to end up with this death.

Song Yuanxi symbolically said a few words of reassuring politeness, and Xiao Lianxu also responded politely, knowing in each other's hearts that this may be the reincarnation of heaven, and retribution is inevitable.

“…… Still no news from her? ”

Song Yuanxi looked a little tired when he asked, and there was a faint dark blue under his eyes, and he hadn't closed his eyes for several days.

Xiao Lianxu shook his head, he had already turned Chu Jing over and over again, but his cousin was like evaporating from the world, and he couldn't find any trace.

"Your Highness, maybe she is ...... It's no longer in the capital of Chu. ”

Song Yuanxi shook his head without thinking about it: "No, she must still be here, I can feel it." ”

Xiao Lianxu: "......"

He couldn't take that.

"You take care of your grandfather's affairs first, and let Gu Ziyi and Xue Cheng do the work of finding someone......

"Yes."

can only be like this, now that Xiao Lianxu has just taken power, the Xiao family tree has deep roots, and the muddy water is bottomless, which makes his head hurt every day. He has never been interested in power, but this time he must also shoulder it, if nothing else, because now is the time to employ people, and what the Xiao family owes to others should also be repaid. There is another reason that he does not want to mention or admit it, only when he becomes stronger, can he centrifuge the person who knew the impossible from the beginning, and get closer......

***

Emperor Chu's body has not been good recently, although the poison in his body has been resolved, but he is groggy all day long, sleepy and weak. The imperial doctors tried their best, but they couldn't even find out the cause, so they could only prescribe some decoctions that refreshed and replenished qi and strengthened the foundation of Peiyuan, so that Emperor Chu could drink it to relieve it slightly.

Since Emperor Chu's side Fu Gonggong was sentenced to death for colluding with King Rui and his party to commit rebellion. Emperor Chu seemed to be very suspicious of the people who were waiting around him, and drove all the palace people who were waiting in the Dongji Hall to the outside of the palace, and they were not allowed to enter without an edict. Only the little palace maid who delivered medicine three times a day could enter, but after serving Emperor Chu to take the medicine, he was immediately driven out.

The little palace maid who came to deliver the medicine tonight had a very raw face, and after asking, she realized that the palace maid who delivered the medicine before was sick, and she was temporarily sent to replace her. The chamberlain led the little palace maid who delivered the medicine all the way to the door of the dormitory, and after a sound, he retreated.

The dormitory is filled with refreshing incense, and the curling green smoke slowly wafts out from the bronze blackbird-patterned incense burner, and the aroma is faint and ethereal.

Xiao Gong Wan slowly walked to the bed with the medicine, hanging her head timidly.

The eyes of the person lying on the dragon bed were slightly raised, and he called, "Help me up." ”

"Yes."

Xiao Gongwen put aside the medicine in her hand and helped him up to sit at the head of the bed. The moment he got close, the breath on her body made him feel inexplicably familiar, as if during the time when he was unconscious, a voice kept crying in his ears, calling: "Father...... Father's ...... Wake up...... Can you hear me...... Father's ...... Open your eyes and see...... I was wronged......"

He commanded, "Lift up your head so I can see ......"

Xiao Gong didn't move, but still stood with her head down.

"Didn't you hear me?"

Now the palace people are becoming more and more bold, and they dare to ignore his orders, do they have to rebel like Wang Fu? !

Xiao Gongwen's voice was very steady, which did not match her timid appearance, and she said, "Are you sure you want to see what I look like?" ”

Emperor Chu frowned, before the word "presumptuous" could be spoken, the person in front of him raised his head, and at this look, his pupils contracted violently, only to feel that his heart was broken, his blood and qi flowed backwards, and his heart and liver were destroyed.

"You...... Are you Yun'er?! ”

His hand jerked forward, trying to grab the person in front of him to get a clear look. But she had already prepared, and stepped back unhurriedly, and he threw himself into the air and rolled directly to the ground.

The palace people outside the door heard the noise, and hurriedly pushed the door and called: "Your Majesty...... Emperor...... What's wrong with you?! ”

Emperor Chu roared: "Get out of here!" No entry! Whoever comes in will be beheaded! ”

Those who had already stepped one foot into the temple door had to step out again and shudder to close the temple door.

The white smoke in the hall was wafting, and the old emperor sat on the ground, his eyes were red, and his voice trembled: "You...... Who are you?! Why do you look so similar to Yun'er? ”

She sneered, gritted her teeth and said, "Because Xie Xinyun is my mother!" ”

！！！

As soon as these words came out, Emperor Chu only felt that his heart suddenly tightened, and his breathing became heavier and heavier, his eyes widened, he looked at her in disbelief, and muttered, "How is it possible...... How could it be......"

She still sneered: "Let me tell you a story." ”

This story is the ins and outs of her mother, her master, and her Xie family's entanglements with the Great Chu royal family for so many years. It's just that she finally concealed Song Yuanxi's identity, and only said that Concubine Xian gave birth to a dragon and phoenix fetus, a boy and a girl, the boy was left in the Chu Palace, and the girl was taken out of the palace. The current His Royal Highness the King of Ling is her elder brother.

She still couldn't bear to tell the fact that Song Yuanxi was a fake prince, and she couldn't bear to let the tsundere prince's expectations be disappointed. She knew how much he liked that position, and she knew how important it was to someone as power-hungry as him.

Left and right for her to come today, just to ask for an explanation for her Xie family, and the rest is not important......

Emperor Chu's expression gradually faded with her narration, and he opened his lips several times halfway, but did not say anything. The originally haggard and distracted face is now even more ugly, and the wrinkled face is dead ash, looking like it is dozens of years old.

She held back her tears to finish the last word, biting her lip to prevent herself from crying.

There was silence in the hall, so silent that it could crush people.

Half-ringing, Emperor Chu used a lot of strength to barely open his mouth, and the corners of his lips moved and muttered: "...... You, are you my daughter? ”

"I'm not! I'm not your daughter! I don't have a dad like you! ”

She shouted out almost subconsciously.

She didn't want to admit that the unkind, self-righteous man in front of her was her father! She is even more reluctant to admit that the man who killed her mother, her grandfather and her clan is her father!

But where can the tears be held back, they have already gushed out like a spring with the cry.

"Just because of your distrust, I forced my mother to death, my mother has a deep affection for you, but you suspect that she is unfaithful to you! She worked hard to give birth to you in October, and when she was about to give birth, she was murdered, where was your person at that time? Where is it? She waited for you for three hours, where are you? Why do you think she's waiting for you to come, she's just waiting for you to come and see me for yourself and see how much I look like you! In order to tell you with the facts, she has not betrayed you! And also...... And my grandfather, who served Dachu all his life and made many military exploits, but because you listened to the slander of the traitorous ministers, you let my grandfather die unjustly, and let my people be dismissed and exiled! My Xie family is a loyal martyr, and in the end, it ended up being wiped out! One hundred and eight people, all of them died cleanly! Don't forget, even your life was saved by my mother! Without my mother, you would have died a long time ago! You say, are you worthy of my mother?! Are you worthy to be my father?! ”

It was as if someone raised his hand fiercely and slapped Emperor Chu, his figure shook suddenly, and his face really faded all the blood at this time, and he spit out a mouthful of blood with a muffled snort.

"I'm sorry for your mother, and I'm not even worthy of being your father, and I'm not even worthy of being an emperor......" He looked at her and smiled miserably: "My love for Yun'er has never changed, but I was too young to know how to love someone, and by the time I came to my senses, the person I loved the most was long gone." For so many years, I have been living in guilt, tormented like a nightmare, and I have been in pain. But now, I am really happy, grateful to God, grateful to Yun'er, and left two such good children for me...... Now that there are successors to the Great Chu River, I am also relieved. You, you do it...... Kill me, for your mother, and avenge the one hundred and eight lives of the Xie family......"

Xia Taozhi was stunned, the dagger in his hand had obviously been raised high, but it couldn't fall down no matter what.

A faint sigh rang out in the hall, and the ghostly figure of the master floated down from the beam, and instantly moved behind her, grabbing the hand in which she held the dagger.

"Ah Luo...... You're still too soft-hearted......"

She looked back with tears in her eyes, "Master......"

I'm sorry Master, she really can't do it, this is her biological father......

"Pei, Ren, Qing!" When Emperor Chu saw the person in front of him clearly, he gritted his teeth and roared: "...... You're not dead yet! "This is the culprit who ruined his relationship with Yun'er, this man who made him want to cut him with a thousand knives countless times! At this moment, he is still standing alive in front of him!

"You're not dead yet, how can I die?" Master's expression was gloomy, and his eyes were filled with cold murderous intent: "If it wasn't for you snatching love back then, how could Yun'er have died so young." You took my beloved, killed my father-in-law, killed my people, and I will make a break with you on this account today! ”

As soon as the words fell, he stabbed down with Xia Taozhi's hand holding the dagger.

In an instant, the sound of flesh piercing exploded in the huge hall, and blood gushed out. Bang ...... Big drops fell to the ground.
