The banquet dispersed, and it was nearly three o'clock.

I waited in the study, and when I saw my senior brother get up and leave the table, he beckoned the people in the house and sent all the guards away.

When the senior brother pushed the door in, I went around the curtain behind him, and when I saw his appearance, I couldn't help but mock: "Senior brother, I haven't seen you for many days, I don't want you to become a gentleman in wine, greedy for cups and mistakes." ”

Senior brother was in a bad mood today, and he drank a few more glasses during the banquet, and even his steps were vain.

As I may be recognized, when I came to the house today, I deliberately wore a dark cloak outside.

The senior brother looked at me twice, seemed to recognize me, smiled bitterly, and then staggered towards me.

He put his hand on my shoulder and hung his head: "Scarlet, I never thought it would be him......"

I looked up at him and asked, "Did you figure it out?" ”

The senior brother snorted and said, "You already knew?" ”

I didn't rush to answer his question, but I felt a smell of alcohol coming to my face, which really didn't smell good.

Holding the jade flute, he waved his brother's hand away, took two steps to the side, and took off the hat of the cloak at the same time.

Only then did he reply: "I was just suspicious before, and I didn't think about how he brought the child out of the palace, until I saw that little highness in the Emperor's Grandson's Mansion today, and I suddenly figured it out." ”

"I don't understand."

The senior brother was silent for a long time before he said such a sentence lightly.

I looked back at him and smiled and asked, "What's there not to understand?" ”

"Do you feel that His Royal Highness Lingjun is missing, and Mrs. Qi Ru has lost her child, and she is crazy and in a pitiful situation?"

The senior brother snorted and said, "This is one of them. ”

"Do you feel that His Royal Highness the Emperor Eldest Sun is not as fair and upright as you think in your heart, and you are a little disappointed?"

The senior brother didn't speak.

I said again: "Senior brother, you are always so soft-hearted, just like that Mrs. Qi Ru, you only think she is pitiful, but you know that poor people also have hate? ”

"Back then, Mrs. Qi Ru favored the harem, and her son Lu Yun almost took the position of prince of His Royal Highness the Prince, and the fact that Shujin Niangniang was pregnant and lost a child really had nothing to do with her?"

Senior Brother raised his head in a daze and said, "You said this, it's just a momentary guess, what is the evidence?" ”

"Credentials?"

I hooked my lips and asked, "Then how do you explain why His Royal Highness the Emperor Eldest Sun took His Royal Highness Lingjun away?" ”

Senior brother was silent, and I said again: "Forget it, I don't care about this matter, no matter whether Shujin Niangniang lost her son back then, whether it has anything to do with Mrs. Qi Ru, what His Royal Highness the Emperor Eldest Sun did was to take revenge, or to make his position as a prince more stable, it was their royal business, and it had nothing to do with us." ”

"......"

The senior brother was still entangled, and after a while, he asked in a low voice: "What do you think His Royal Highness the Emperor Eldest Sun will do with His Royal Highness Lingjun?" ”

"Does it matter?"

I stood there and looked at him: "The most important thing now is that we have learned two fatal secrets, and we can only think about how to use this to get out of the current predicament." ”

"You don't think it's serious, it's just a child!"

The senior brother's tone sounded a little unhappy: "No matter what grievances Mrs. Qi Ru and Shujin Niangniang have, whether His Royal Highness the Emperor Eldest Sun is for revenge or for the position of the prince, the most important thing is that it is an innocent child, now he is missing, life and death are uncertain, and we are the only people who can save him, but you just want to stand by and watch, and even use this matter to protect yourself!" ”

Xing Xing sensed that his attitude was not good, he was silent for a moment, restrained his expression, lowered his head and said, "Scarlet, I know that what you have done is actually for me, but I don't want to do this." ”

I still looked at him, and then I heard my brother say, "I still remember what Master said to me when I first apprenticed. ”

"The eldest husband is a man who practices literature and martial arts, and he can't support justice and protect the country, but he should also stick to his heart, and he must not do anything like a fly camp and a dog."

I was silent for a long time before I turned my head and replied, "If you really have such a good memory, you should still remember a sentence, I said that in this world, there is no one more important than you and your sister." ”

"Whether it's the princess Hanji before, the thief who was executed, or the baby, it's all the same for me."

I tried to make my voice sound calm, even ruthless: "As for this missing Lingjun His Highness, the same. ”
