A few days after the notice of Dali Temple was posted, two masked corpses appeared in the grove outside the east gate of the capital.

That mask is exactly what is painted on the notice of Dali Temple.

A villager who entered the city early in the morning found the two bodies and masks, and hurriedly went to the city gate to report the crime.

King Zhiquan of Dali Temple received the news and personally brought the yacha to check.

"My lord, look, are these the two masks that the Holy Lord wants?" A messenger took off the mask from the two corpses and presented it to the king.

Wang Zhiquan looked at it and said, "Wrap it up and send it to the saint." - Isn't it, it's not me who has the final say, it's up to the saint to have the final say. ”

The two masks were quickly sent to Emperor Xia Zhao's case.

He already has five Guardian Masks in his hands, and with the addition of these two, seven masks are considered complete.

These masks are unique and cannot be imitated by ordinary people.

Emperor Xia Zhao only touched the material of the mask, and knew that it was the two masks left by the Guardian.

“…… Is this an abandoned pawn to protect the car? Emperor Xia Zhao knocked on the table with a smile, "Throwing out the mask so quickly, it seems that they are determined to go all the way to the dark." ”

"It's a pity for those two substitutes." Wang Zhiquan said regretfully, "They are definitely not the two people that the Holy Lord is looking for." ”

Emperor Xia Zhao nodded, "Of course not." But. What I'm looking for wasn't a person, it's a mask. He stroked these masks and said, "These are the things left by Emperor Taizu, and they will be enshrined in the Cloud Pavilion." ”

The Cloud Pavilion is the tallest building in the Great Xia Imperial Palace. The main hall with a heavy pupil diagram hanging at the highest point of the Cloud Pavilion can only be entered by the emperor and the four great princes.

Emperor Xia Zhao coughed twice, sleeved the seven masks, and took them to the Cloud Pavilion.

Standing in front of the double pupil diagram, Emperor Xia Zhao pondered for a long time, and put the seven masks on the incense table under the double pupil diagram.

Coming out of the Cloud Pavilion, Emperor Xia Zhao was in a particularly comfortable mood. It seems that the illness that has lingered for many days has improved a lot.

He returned to the Imperial Study. With a stroke of the pen, the edict was issued.

“…… Fengtian carried it, and the emperor said: Chiyi, Huang San, and Ziqi are loyal to state affairs and sacrifice their lives for the country. He is the head of the loyal ministers. It can be offered at the Martyrs' Shrine. Chin this! ”

An edict was issued to the world. The tablets of Chi Yi, Huang San, and Zi Qi were sent to the Martyrs' Shrine next to the Cloud Pavilion.

The Martyrs' Shrine enshrines the courtiers and generals who have made great contributions to the country since the founding of Great Xia.

For a thousand years. There are only three tablets in the Martyrs' Shrine.

The guardian who has been in the shadows is the first time that someone has entered the Martyrs' Shrine.

……

When Zhou Huaixuan heard the news, he felt better.

He followed the courtiers into the palace. Specially go to the martyrs' shrine to bow and offer incense.

Emperor Xia Zhao also personally went to Shangxiang to mourn silently, doing his part.

After the bow was over, Emperor Xia Zhao left Zhou Huaixuan to speak.

"Huaixuan, there is something I want to discuss with you." Emperor Xia Zhao said with a smile on his face.

His face was flushed, but his spirits were uplifted, and he did not appear weak.

Zhou Huaixuan looked up at Emperor Xia Zhao, and said, "Holy Lord, please speak." ”

"Guardian, there is no more zài from now on. Although there is still a Qingwu, I heard you mention that Qingwu is fake. So in fact, all the Guardians have been wiped out. ”

Zhou Huaixuan nodded.

"Emperor Taizu created the guardian for the sake of my Great Xia royal family and not falling into the hands of foreign races. Now it seems that the fallen people can't become the climate, and I have a general like Huaixuan in Daxia, so that kind of thing will not happen. Emperor Xia Zhao said slowly.

Zhou Huaixuan seemed to understand something, sat up straight, and looked at Emperor Xia Zhao fixedly, "Holy Lord, what do you mean......?" ”

"My biggest wish in this life is to be able to grow old with Xiangrong." Emperor Xia Zhao said with emotion, "But you also know that this wish cannot be fulfilled. ”

Zhou Huaixuan was silent and did not speak.

"Although this wish cannot be fulfilled, I want to have a daughter. - This matter is already God's great love for me. Emperor Xia Zhao looked at Zhou Huaixuan kindly, as if he was looking at his son-in-law.

Zhou Huaixuan frowned, and said lightly: "Holy Lord, what do you want to do?" ”

"I want to get my daughter back." Emperor Xia Zhao smiled and said solemnly.

"I didn't dare to recognize her at first, because I was worried about the guardians who were hiding in the shadows and were elusive. Once they discover Siyan's true identity, their methods are endless, and they must put her to death. Emperor Xia Zhao said with palpitations, "Since she was born, this child has suffered countless sins. I gave birth to her, but she didn't enjoy my blessings for a day, and I'm sorry for her......"

Speaking of Sheng Siyan, Emperor Xia Zhao no longer even used "I" to refer to himself, and only used the word "I" used by ordinary people.

At this moment, in front of Zhou Huaixuan, he is not a majestic and inoffensive emperor, but a father who longs to recognize his daughter.

Zhou Huaixuan thought of his father, his nose was a little sour, he looked at the ground and said, "...... I can't do this. You'd better ask Siyan. ”

Emperor Xia Zhao nodded violently, "Of course you have to ask!" Of course you have to ask! If she doesn't nod, I won't mess around. But ......" Emperor Xia Zhao looked at Zhou Huaixuan pitifully: "I know she listens to you." You're going to say good things for me, okay? ”

Zhou Huaixuan closed his eyes, pursed his lips, and said, "Holy Lord, have you really thought about it?" - Although the Guardian no longer exists, but because the Guardian has been broken by outsiders, the fake Qingwu is still lurking in the shadows, once Siyan's identity is revealed, what will they do if they attack Siyan again? ”

Emperor Xia Zhao heard Zhou Huaixuan's prevarication, smiled, and said, "...... If I don't reveal her identity, won't anyone target her? Don't tell sù me, all the things in your Divine General's Mansion are because you know her true life experience! ”

Zhou Huaixuan turned his head abruptly and glanced at Emperor Xia Zhao with sharp eyes.

“…… Actually, I didn't recognize her before. More often than not, it is limited by the teachings of the ancestors. If the guardian is stored for a day, she will not be able to enter the clan genealogy. Now that the Guardian is over, and that ancestral precept is dead, I can make her recognize her ancestors and return to her ancestors. Emperor Xia Zhao sighed and begged Zhou Huaixuan, "For the sake of my old age and infirmity, fulfill my wish for this old man for many years!" ”

Zhou Huaixuan smiled and said, "You are not yet forty years old...... don't rely on the old and sell the old.

"Not yet forty? It's coming soon. Emperor Xia Zhao refused to give up, "I have no plans to take a concubine, and I won't have any more children." If you don't recognize Siyan. After I die. Her life was even more difficult. ”

Zhou Huaixuan lowered his eyes and looked at the bookcase in front of Emperor Xia Zhao, and said, "You and Siyan can discuss." If she agrees, I won't object. ”

Emperor Xia Zhao frowned and said, "Huaixuan." You are worried that Siyan has become a princess. Are you embarrassed to be a colt? ”

The horses of the Great Xia Dynasty could not be the real power officials of the imperial court.

Of course. Zhou Huaixuan is a member of the Divine General's Mansion and has nothing to do with the court, so even though Sheng Siyan is a princess. The imperial court could not control his position.

Zhou Huaixuan said lightly: "She has a lot of thoughts, you can tell her." ”

When Emperor Xia Zhao heard this, he was almost full of bitterness and wanted to pour out on Zhou Huaixuan: "...... I knew she just looked good at talking! That stubborn temper is exactly the same as her mother's mother! ”

Zhou Huaixuan smiled slightly and stood up, "That's your problem." You can figure it out. With that, he took his leave.

Returning to Qingyuan Hall from the palace, Zhou Huaixuan saw Sheng Siyan telling stories to Ah Bao and teaching him to read.

Zhou Huaixuan stood silently behind Sheng Siyan.

Ah Bao had been frowning and listening to Sheng Siyan read those children's songs and stories to him, and he was already very impatient.

When I looked up and saw Zhou Huaixuan coming, I laughed from the bottom of my heart.

He beckoned to Zhou Huaixuan and shouted, "Dad!" ”

Sheng Siyan turned around, only to see Zhou Huaixuan coming, stood up with a smile, and said, "Are you back?" He asked what the Martyrs' Shrine was like, the scene in the palace was not big, and he kept talking and chattering, so much so that Ah Bao blocked his ears with his hands.

"Po, what do you look like!" Sheng Siyan saw it carelessly, he couldn't get angry, pointed to Ah Bao's fat head and said angrily: "My mother read to you for an afternoon, you either yawned or wandered, now it's good, even your ears are blocked!" - Do you think I dare not teach you a lesson! ”

Ah Bao still covered his ears with his hands, and grinned at Sheng Siyan, his chubby little face laughing like a flower.

Sheng Siyan glared at him.

The corners of Zhou Huaixuan's lips hooked slightly, reached out to wrap his hand around Sheng Siyan's shoulder, hugged Ah Bao with one hand, and walked into the house with her.

"I just came back from the Holy One." Zhou Huaixuan put Ah Bao on the couch under the window, let him play, and turned his head to talk to Sheng Siyan.

"Oh, how is it going on the Holy One? Are you getting better? Sheng Siyan sat down beside him and asked with concern, "My father doesn't have to enter the palace these days, saying that the Holy Dynasty is busy, so he doesn't have to enter the palace for the time being." You say that the illness is not cured, how can you not see a doctor? ”

Zhou Huaixuan thought for a while and said, "Some of them are still coughing, and their faces are a little flushed." But other than that, the head of the spirit is not bad. After a pause, he looked at Sheng Siyan and said, "There is something that the Holy Lord wants to discuss with you." ”

"Counsel with me?" Sheng Siyan was very surprised, "I don't understand the government, what do you want to discuss with me?" ”

“…… The Holy One wants you to recognize your ancestors and return to your ancestors. Zhou Huaixuan said in a low voice, looking at Sheng Si's clear phoenix eyes.

"Recognize your ancestors and return to your ancestors?" Sheng Siyan frowned, "You mean ......?" ”

Zhou Huaixuan nodded, "The guardian no longer exists. The saint said that there is no resistance in the clan anymore, and he can let you enter the royal family genealogy. ”

Sheng Siyan lowered his head, twisted his fingers around the belt of his clothes, and was speechless for a long time.

Her orphan status is indeed a thorn in her heart, especially after Po was born, she was almost out of breath from this thorn.

But if he really wanted to recognize Emperor Xia Zhao, Sheng Siyan was a little uneasy.
