"General Xiao, I've worked hard for you all these years, it's the British Royal Mansion that I'm sorry for you." Looking at General Xiao's weather-beaten face, thinking that he had been without a wife and children for so many years, he sighed for a while.

"The prince is serious, the prince had a life-saving grace for Xiao at the beginning, and he was willing to contribute to the prince." Xiao Zhongjing straightened his back and sat solemnly, and said seriously.

"We have been looking for the things entrusted by General Xiao for many years, but unfortunately when we found the village you mentioned, the person had already left, and it was said that she had left with her senior brother, and there has been no news since then."

"The prince mentioned this matter in his letter, and I have known about it for a long time. After so many years, things have long been wrong, and I have long lost hope. Xiao Zhongjing thought of the events of that year, and was a little depressed and lonely.

"Is General Xiao because of the woman back then, so he hasn't married until now?" Qing Jue Gongzi asked, he probably knew about Xiao Zhongjing. Xiao Zhongjing was implicated by his father and exiled to the frontier. On the way, he was seriously injured in an assassination attempt, and was rescued by a village girl in the process of escaping. Later, he had a relationship with the village girl, and unfortunately was reported that in order not to affect the girl, he had to run away alone.

By the time he reached the frontier and settled down and sent someone to pick up the village girl, the village girl had long since disappeared.

Xiao Zhongjing had no way to continue looking for someone at the border pass, so he had to entrust the King of England to send someone to help find him. The king's men arrived at the village he said, but unfortunately no one was found. They had inquired about the girl in detail, and knew that she had lived with her father, who had died of illness, leaving her alone and a girl, and then it seemed that a relative had looked for her, and then the person was gone, and perhaps with the relative. As for where her relatives' house is, it is not known.

When Xiao Zhongjing got the news, he was extremely sad and sad, and he swore on the spot that unless he found the girl who carried a sedan chair to marry her, he would not marry for the rest of his life.

When the prince first knew about this, it was when he was young and high-spirited, and he admired Xiao Zhongjing's character very much, and he always sent his subordinates to help find it. Even when his father was seized power, their brother was watched, and his leg was injured and he couldn't walk. For this, Xiao Zhongjing is very grateful.

"Yes. I was seriously injured at the beginning, but it was Xiu'er who saved me. Later, I was heartfelt for me, but I made her whereabouts unknown, and I don't know if she is alive or dead. I promised not to marry her, even if I don't know where she is, whether she is alive or dead, I will abide by it for the rest of my life and never change it. ”

"General Xiao is really a dignified gentleman and a man of temperament. Shame on you! Seeing Xiao Zhongjing's righteous and awe-inspiring insistence on his promise, the prince of Qingjue admired him very much. Thinking of his father's entrustment, he felt helpless, it seemed that he was going to disappoint his father, General Xiao was so determined, he couldn't persuade him to marry a wife and have children, and he was scattered.

"The prince has always been good?" Xiao Zhongjing asked.

"My father is in good health and has a good mentality. Although he has been seized of power for so many years, his father has never been depressed. Since the assassination of the crown prince, the imperial grandfather's imprisonment of his father has been significantly relaxed, and it seems that the sky is about to change. ”

"The prince is open-minded and admirable. Ordinary people are afraid that they will be drunk and dream of death a long time ago, and they don't know what to say. Thinking of the Qingjue son in front of him, he was also deeply shocked, and his legs were abolished, but his mental state was still good, which shows that the tiger father has no dogs.

"A few years ago, in order to dispel the suspicions of the emperor's grandfather and uncles, my father was very drunk and died. Unexpectedly, they still did not give up, and it was not until my legs were ruined that they relaxed their vigilance. Qing Jue Gongzi smiled bitterly, his performance was too good at the beginning, and he had already become a thorn in everyone's side, even if his father was imprisoned by seizing power, they did not let him go. It can be seen that it was not a good thing for him to show his edge at the beginning.

It's a pity that he didn't know how to hide it at the beginning, and reality gave him a bloody lesson. So that he can no longer stand up. If those people think that if he loses his legs, he will be bald from now on, they will underestimate him too much.

Although he can't walk, he still has brains, he can still think, he can write, and as long as he doesn't die, he will continue to fight them, never die.

"The forbearance and open-mindedness of the prince and the prince make Xiao admire." Xiao Zhongjing looked at the calm and quiet young man in front of him. He admires him very much, he has experienced so many things at this age, and he definitely does not have such a calm temperament and open-mindedness.

"General Xiao, we don't have to be polite, I want to ask, why did Fang Yunxian, the secretary of the Criminal Department, betray my father in the first place, and why he resolutely refused to admit it after signing and postponing it, and finally hit the wall and died. What exactly did he go through? ”

He has been thinking about this matter with his father for a long time, and he has never understood the cause and effect, but now that he sees Xiao Zhongjing, he can just take a good look at it and see if he can find clues. Although they have been in contact with him, and they have inquired about this matter in detail at the beginning, but there has been no progress, he is a little reluctant, and decides to think about it again, maybe there will be a breakthrough.

"I also wonder about this, I was just a petty official in the Ministry of Officials at the beginning, and Lord Fang was the top boss below. He is fair and honest, upright, and loyal to the prince. The person who knows that I am the prince, he takes care of me a lot. It is said that it is impossible for him to betray the prince. Xiao Zhongjing pondered, "Besides, if he betrayed the prince, my fate would definitely not be as simple as exile, I was only implicated at that time, and I was later assassinated a few months after his death, it is impossible for him to report it." This is very strange. ”

"The strangest thing is why he refused to admit it the next day after the painting, not only that, but he also hit the wall and died, avenging His Royal Highness, this is too contradictory, what's wrong?" Xiao Zhongjing touched his chin and thought hard, but unfortunately he couldn't figure it out.

"Think about it, what was wrong before and after the incident?" Qing Jue Gongzi reminded, "Maybe there are some details we missed. ”

"There's nothing wrong, at that time, I was reporting to Lord Fang on official business, and the commander of the capital, Zhang Ziqian, Lord Zhang, came, and he ordered Lord Fang to be imprisoned, saying that someone reported him for corruption and let him go as a repeat offender. We were also arrested. The next day, news came out that Lord Fang had recruited him, and he was instructed by the prince to embezzle one million taels of official silver, and also let go of the court repeat offenders. This felon, who once assassinated the emperor, was kept behind the scenes because he didn't find out who was behind it, but he didn't expect to escape later, and they used this as an excuse to frame the person assigned by the prince to assassinate him. This person fled, and there was Lord Fang's accusations, and the prince couldn't speak clearly, which caused the emperor to be angry and seized power, which was really calculated. ”

"It seems that you don't know what is going on? It's a pity that the dispute between the father and the Rui king at that time was originally evenly matched, but because of the affairs of Lord Fang, it was completely defeated. Many of his followers have been hit and persecuted, and after so many years, his father has never really let go, and he always feels sorry for those who follow him. For them, he never stopped working hard. ”

"Although the prince was defeated more than ten years ago, but now the prince's affairs are won. It can be seen that the prince is still heroic, and the sword is not old. Xiao Zhongjing said. The entire Great Qin knew about the assassination of the prince, and he felt that it should have been done by the British Palace, otherwise how could the prince have planted such a big heel?

"The prince's business was not done by his father." Qing Jue Gongzi smiled bitterly, "For so many years, the imperial grandfather's imprisonment of my father has never been relaxed, and the crown prince and other forces have never relaxed their surveillance, even if my legs are like this, they have only relaxed my guard a little, and we have no chance to carry out such a big action against the prince." ”

"Oh, that's weird, who the hell is it? can give the prince such a powerful blow. Xiao Zhongjing touched his chin again and pondered.

"Whoever it is, it's none other than my uncles and uncles. I didn't expect the prince to run out of calculations, and he actually capsized the boat in the gutter. ”

"If it is really the handiwork of any prince, the strength of this prince should not be underestimated. Even the crown prince can be assassinated, let alone others, if they want to deal with the prince, then the prince will be in danger, please tell the prince to be careful. ”

Qing Jue Gongzi nodded, "What news does General Xiao know about the crown prince?" ”

"The emperor didn't say it in the edict, but urgently recruited me to return to Beijing to serve as the commander-in-chief of the defense battalion of the capital, and to manage the defense affairs of the east and south gates of the capital."

"It seems that the emperor's grandfather doesn't believe in the city guard camp in the capital anymore, otherwise he wouldn't have recruited you back to Beijing. It seems that you really didn't expose it at the beginning, and you should have been chased and killed at the beginning, but at that time, several of you officials were chased and killed, and only you escaped. ”

"That's true. If I'm exposed. The emperor will definitely not trust me to entrust me with such an important defense task. ”

"It seems that the crown prince's life is in danger, otherwise the imperial grandfather would not have strengthened the defense of the capital. I once sent someone to the Prince's Mansion to investigate, but it was heavily guarded, and I couldn't get in at all. ”

"Shizi, do you say that it is possible that the crown prince has been..., the emperor just suppressed and did not let the noise go, just to balance the situation and reduce turmoil." Xiao Zhongjing asked with a gesture.

"Probably not, the emperor's grandfather is old, and if the prince has something to do, he must arrange for the next prince, otherwise the situation will be even more chaotic. Although the emperor's grandfather is old, he is not mediocre, and this matter is a big deal and cannot be hidden. ”

"The emperor has always been wise and decisive, never dragging his feet, this time the prince's matter, I am afraid that he also knows that if it is not handled well, it will definitely lead to turmoil. But things have to be solved, the emperor may have a solution, I think, the prince and the prince should be careful, don't be public, it's better to plot slowly. ”

"You're right. I will remind my father. None of my uncles and uncles are good at stubble, and my father won't make a bird, watch them sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and so on. ”

"By the way, Shizi, I want my daughter to show you your leg, she has good medical skills, maybe she can help." Xiao Zhongjing saw that it was dark and didn't get up early to say goodbye, and suddenly thought of something and turned back to say.

"Thank you General Xiao for your concern, Qing absolutely has no hope for this, so don't bother Ling Qianjin." Qing Jue Gongzi refused, Xiao Zhongjing was helpless, so he had to shake his head with some regret and go out.
