After clearing his thoughts for a while, Tianyou asked, "Then why did you give the newborn prince to Xiyan to take away?"

Ji Yao's eyes were red, her eyes were full of tears, and she explained with a bitter face: "Mother can't help it! If possible, how can Mother be willing to separate flesh and blood instead of sharing the joy of family?"

Tianyou didn't answer, but waited for Ji Yao to explain. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Many of the secrets of the year were not known to outsiders, but the mother was the person in the game, so she naturally knew more. I don't know if you've heard of this organization at the Temple of Nights?"

Tianyou nodded slightly. "I've been running around with me for as long as I can remember, sometimes as if I'm chasing someone, sometimes I'm avoiding something. As I grew older, I gradually figured out that the person who was chasing us in the first place was the killer of the Night Temple. Those years were really ......"

Hearing this, the tears in Ji Yao's eyes finally burst out uncontrollably, she hugged Tianyou again, and said with tears in her eyes: "I'm sorry for you, God bless!"

When he was hugged for the first time, Tianyou tried to struggle a few times, but he really couldn't twist Ji Yao's strength, but he found that Ji Yao's feelings didn't seem to be fake, and he was really distressed, so he quieted down. But his heart is still constantly analyzing what is going on.

When Ji Yao first met before, it was obviously very fake, and she had no feelings at all, but now what is going on with this true feeling? Was it that she suddenly recognized each other before, and her emotions did not change for a while? Or did she become more and more smooth, and she was completely integrated into the psychology of the character?

hugged Tianyou and cried for a while, and Ji Yao's feelings stabilized again. laughed at himself with a smile: "My mother's momentary gaffe made you laugh." ”

Tianyou didn't know what to say, so he could only take out a handkerchief from his body and hand it over, but Ji Yao was moved and almost lost his temper again. After wiping her tears twice, Ji Yao suddenly noticed that there was embroidery on the handkerchief, and unfolded it to take a look, but found that it was a few crooked and almost unrecognizable words.

"...... this?"

"Embroidered at the end of the day. Once she was injured and trapped in a family to recuperate, and she couldn't go out, and she suddenly remembered to embroider this when she was bored. But she didn't do that, she only embroidered a few crooked words and threw them aside!"

Ji Yao didn't know what she thought, and suddenly burst out laughing, with tears on her face. "It's still the same little sister back then! I studied with me for a long time, and I couldn't learn anymore. She is probably the only one in the world who can embroider such ugly embroidery!"

"That, Biyou Fairy, you haven't said why you want to hand over the little prince to Xiyan to take away?"

"You kid, do you still call me Biyou Fairy?" After a pause, seeing that Tianyou didn't mean to change his words, he said to himself: "That's it, anyway, it's better for you to call me like this, so as not to be noticed." It is said that back then, the Night God Temple was in its heyday, and it could be said that it was all evil. As long as you can afford the price, even if it is the king of a country, they will dare to start. ”

"I've heard of that. ”

"Yes! After I married the king, there were many invasions and assassinations in the palace. The king's two younger brothers, one sister, and three princes were killed one after another. For a while, there was a lot of noise in the palace. ”

Tianyou was so keen, and in an instant he realized that there was something wrong with this assassination list.

"The ones who were killed were all crown princes with the right to inherit?"

Because of the mutual checks and balances between the ten countries and the suppression of the major factions in the neutral zone, the external pressure is quite huge, and if it is not, it will be a crisis of annihilation. It is precisely because of this that the royal families of various countries have been very cautious on the issue of inheritance, no longer a hasty primogeniture system, but more of a competitive employment system. Moreover, this competition includes not only princes, but also princesses, as well as younger brothers and sisters with a large age gap with the king.

That is to say, all close relatives within three generations of the royal family, as long as they are less than a certain range of the king, can compete for the throne. The first king also only selected meritocracy, not relatives.

This selection method is a product of high pressure, a change made for survival, so no king dares to choose a prince based on his own preferences alone. Tianyou's encounter with Ying Ying on the way back to Wangcheng is also a product of this competition system. As long as the struggle is not put on the table, and as long as the national security is not endangered, the king will not interfere with the contention of his children and younger siblings. Because only the new king born under this cruel competition method can lead the country to survive tenaciously in this Shenzhou continent where the weak and the strong eat.

All the princes who were attacked by the Chu State back then were the crown princes who had the qualifications to compete, and this purpose was too strong, so it was no wonder that Tianyou found out the clue at once.

Ji Yao nodded and said, "That's right, the king also immediately discovered the reason, and quickly locked up that it was one of his younger brothers who hired the murderer." ”

"And after that?"

"This method of hiring murderers is not in line with the reasonable way of competing for the crown prince, and the king ordered the execution of the clan brother after the investigation, but there is a rule in the Temple of the Night - as long as the task is taken, unless the employer cancels the task with double gratuity, even if the employer dies, the mission will not be terminated. ”

Tianyou frowned and said, "In other words, there is no one who can terminate the assassination mission against the crown prince of Chu now?"

Ji Yao nodded. "After that, the crown princes of Chu who were eligible to inherit the throne were killed one after another, and you became the last crown prince. ”

"Why did the Night Temple kill all the crown princes, but only me?" Tianyou realized that he had asked a stupid question.

Ji Yao didn't know that Tianyou had already thought of the answer after asking, and still explained: "Although I just gave birth to you and my body is relatively weak, but after all, I was a half-step psychic realm monk at that time, no matter how weak I was, waiting for a few assassins still couldn't help our mother and son." ”

Tianyou had already guessed this result just after asking, and now it has been confirmed by Ji Yao, which also confirms his conjecture.

Unlike the other successors of the King of Chu, Tianyou has the innate guarantee existence of Ji Yao. Although the assassins of the Night God Temple are fierce enough and crazy enough, it is also a possible task to take out a half-step psychic realm female fairy surrounded by a large group of guards. And as long as you can't pass Ji Yao's level, Tianyou will be safe.

"In that case, why was I given to Xiyan to raise after that?" At this time, Tianyou himself didn't notice that he had actually admitted his identity, because he no longer used "prince" to refer to the missing child back then, but directly changed to the self-title of "I". In other words, Tianyou was already convinced that he was the prince who was taken captive back then.

Ji Yao didn't notice this detail for a while, and continued to explain to Tianyou: "The Night God Temple has assassinated you many times without success, but he has always refused to give up, and has strengthened the assassination again and again. I'm still strong, but I can't do it all. Finally, that night, a large number of Assassins raided the royal city, and the other side changed their strategy and sent three waves of Assassins at the same time. ”

"Three-pronged, do assassins still play wheel warfare?"

"No, it's the way to attack the west. After entering the palace, the Assassins of the Night Temple split into two, and a group with a larger number feinted to attack the king's dormitory, pinning down a large number of guards. The remaining elite Assassins raided our mother and son's dormitory, and five of the most elite Assassins besieged me, confining me in the dormitory and unable to rescue me, while the rest went straight to the warm pavilion where you lived next door. ”

"Xiyan was among the assassins at the time?" Tianyou thought of a possibility.

Ji Yao nodded and admitted Tianyou's judgment. "Yes. One of the five Assassins in charge of restraining me was in a daze when he saw me, and a moment later he suddenly turned back and helped me kill the other four. At the time, I was amazed at why this assassin behaved the way he did, and it wasn't until she removed her face veil that I realized that it was Sister Xiyan, who had been missing for many years!"

That is to say...... Xiyan was expelled from Zixiao Palace, and then joined the Night God Temple?"

"This is not unusual. The assassins of the Night God Temple originally had two sources, one was the dead soldiers they cultivated themselves, but more of them were all kinds of monks and warriors recruited from everywhere. After Senior Sister Xiyan was expelled from the mountain gate, she should have encountered something and finally joined the Night God Temple. ”

When Ji Yao said this, the whole thing was already roughly clear. Tianyou pondered for a while and then tentatively speculated: "So you sisters have solved this crisis together after recognizing each other, but you also understand that the Night God Temple will never give up, so you think that instead of guarding against more powerful assassinations in the light, it is better to simply turn from light to darkness and let Xiyan take me out of the royal city." Compared to breaking through the tight defenses of the royal city, it is more difficult to track down the sunset who has no fixed place. So you're trying to keep me safe in this way, aren't you?"

Ji Yao nodded excitedly and admitted Tianyou's guess.

"My son is really smart. The facts were not much different from what you said. After killing all the Assassins who held me back, I saved you with Yuyan, but I couldn't bear to put you in danger anymore when I thought that as long as you were in the royal city, the Night Temple Assassins would come one after another. At this time, the invading assassins had already been surrounded, and the king had also rushed to you and me under layers of guards. So I proposed my idea to the king, and the king approved of my plan.

And then it's pretty much what you guessed. We entrusted you to the care of Yu Xiyan, and claimed that you were taken captive by the Assassins, and at the same time sent a large number of forbidden troops to search and pursue you, creating a situation where you were really taken captive. In order to play realistically, we also deliberately let go of a few assassins, so that they could see Xiyan leave the royal city with you in their arms, so that no one would suspect that you were still in the royal city. ”

"I'm still in the royal city?"

"Yes. Xi Yan actually just took you out for a spin to lure away the pursuers, and then returned to the royal city. It wasn't until we arranged that they were mixed into a group of forbidden troops that they were secretly sent out of the royal city. ”

Hearing this, Tianyou frowned again, because he found something that didn't make sense.

If the royal city is not safe enough, and the Ouchi guards can't stop the assassins of the Night God Temple, then with Ji Yao's identity, why don't you send yourself to Zixiao Palace?

Tianyou doesn't believe it, no matter how good the assassins of the Night God Temple are, can they still hit Zixiao Mountain? Is it really good to be the orthodoxy of the Immortal Gate?

However, Ji Yao did not do that. She didn't send Tianyou to Zixiao Palace, but handed it over to Xiyan, who was wandering outside. Don't put it in a safer and more comfortable environment, but send your son to that kind of environment that is very risky and absolutely difficult, Tianyou really can't figure out what Ji Yao thinks.

If you want to say that Ji Yao alone has a stuck brain, the key is that this matter was made by the King of Chu at that time. Ji Yao's brain is stuck alone, even if her brain is stuck, why would the king of Chu short-circuit her brain with her? If there is no Zixiao Palace, there will be nothing to say, although it is also risky to let Xiyan take it away, it is much safer than staying in the royal city. But Ji Yao's identity determined that she obviously had a safer way back from Zixiao Palace to choose, but the strange thing was that she gave up this choice and let Xiyan take Tianyou away.

Tianyou couldn't figure out the truth of this, so he could only ask.

"Why don't you just send me to Zixiao Palace? Why don't you leave me alone when you hand me over to Xiyan? Even if you want to protect me, you don't need to do it so thoroughly, right?"
