Chapter 30: The Four Sons

After stabilizing his fast-beating mood, Xiao Rui remembered the green-shirted woman again. That familiar face made Xiao Rui very puzzled, it seemed that this girl should be a person in the palace, and he had never been in contact with the ladies in the palace before, how could he have such a familiar feeling? Suddenly, another figure was reflected in Xiao Rui's mind, and it slowly coincided with this girl's shadow, that is, the person who met the mustachioed Gu Yuetian! Could it be that this girl was the fourth son? Unlikely, how could someone who could lurk in the core of the other party for several years be such a young little girl? If it was really her, then this girl was really terrible. Xiao Rui felt the cold hairs on his body stand up. After cleaning up his mood, Xiao Rui decided to ask Duan Hui about the situation first.

In the corner of the reception, Xiao Rui found Duan Hui, who was talking to several young nobles. Xiao Rui glanced at Duan Hui, and the two of them left the crowd one after the other and found a remote place. Seeing that there was no one around, Xiao Rui asked, "Which princess was wearing a purple dress who participated in the drinking party just now?Who is the woman in the green shirt next to her?" Duan Hui looked at Xiao Rui carefully, and there was a look in his eyes: "What? I fell in love with that girl? It was a flower in the palace, there were many princes and nobles who wanted to pursue her, but they were all rejected." But that's okay, I can say nice things for you, but you have to thank me. Duan Hui also had a smug expression on his face.

Xiao Rui wanted to interrupt Duan Hui's words several times, but Duan Hui stretched out his hand to stop him, and it wasn't until he finished saying that Xiao Rui said helplessly: "Where do you want to go, where do I fall in love with her, I asked her because I feel that she is very similar to a person." That's why I asked you. What is her identity?" Duan Hui saw that Xiao Rui's tone was very serious, and then he realized that things were not what he thought, so he said, "She was brought back by my sister from outside the palace. It's the girl in the purple dress you said, that's my sister, called Duan Fei, we usually call her Fei Fei. And the girl in the green shirt is called Xiao Si, it was four years ago, my sister went out of the city to play, on the way back, she was riding in the carriage suddenly frightened, ran into a little girl on the side of the road, the little girl was wandering from out of town with her mother. Her mother had just died, and the little girl was already in a trance due to excessive grief, and was hit by a car again, and fainted at that time. Fei Fei has been kind-hearted since she was a child, and she can't see people suffering, and this time it was her own car that hit someone's house. He immediately ordered the girl to be carried into the car, brought back, and ordered that the girl's mother be buried. After the little girl was brought back to the palace, she was quickly cured, and Fei Fei saw that she was pitiful and had no other relatives, so she left her by her side. After the girl got better, she said that her name was Xiao Si because she missed her relatives. In the past four years, Xiao Si has been with Fei Fei, because of the fact that there is only one girl in Fei Fei among the five brothers and sisters, Fei Fei treats Xiao Si as a sister, and the relationship between the two is very good. And Xiaosi is also very sensible, and everyone likes it. Therefore, no one treats her as a palace maid or a servant, which is why many princes and nobles want to pursue her. ”

After listening to Duan Hui's introduction, Xiao Rui asked hesitantly: "Then have you checked Xiao Si's life experience later?" Duan Hui said: "After checking, the people who went to Xiao Si's hometown came back and said that there was indeed such a family, the man was sick and died, and the mother and daughter were left to flee the famine. At that time, Xiao Si was fourteen or fifteen years old. Could it be that there is something wrong with her?" Duan Hui also seemed to realize the seriousness of the problem, and his expression became serious.

Xiao Rui nodded and said in a deep voice: "If I'm not mistaken, she is the one who met Gu Yuetian." Maybe it's the fourth son you are talking about. Duan Hui was taken aback: "How could it be her? She was only fourteen or fifteen years old when she first entered the palace, so she could hide it at such a young age?" Xiao Rui smiled bitterly and said, "I don't believe it either, but the two of them are too similar." Although the man was wearing men's clothes that day, his body appearance was too similar. And apart from the people around you, only she has access to your core secrets, right?" Duan Hui also nodded: "Well, when you say that, it's true. Fei Fei's surname is very active, and she participates every time we discuss things. And Fei Fei also treats Xiao Si as a sister, and does not shy away from her in everything. By the way, her name is Xiao Si, isn't that the fourth child, the fourth son?" Duan Hui suddenly realized, and then said: "No, I have to tell my father about this matter immediately to see what he does." Alas, if it was really her, it would be a big blow to Fei Fei! I really don't know what Fei Fei would be like if she knew the truth. Duan Hui shook his head as he spoke, and instructed Xiao Rui: "Don't tell anyone about this matter first, wait until I tell my father and queen." I'll take my leave first, you should pay attention to it first, and see if she has any other actions. Xiao Rui nodded in agreement, but thought in his heart: I am still observing her, and your sister should say that I peeked. Thinking about it, Xiao Rui still cheered up and watched the movement inside the ** closely.

Duan Hui quickly invited Duan Yuhai back to the imperial study and reported to him what Xiao Rui had just said. Duan Yuhai also sighed after hearing this: "I really didn't expect that Zhao Laoqi really worked hard to train such a young girl to become a latent master." Now that you know the truth, and now you and the Zhao family have made it clear that they want to oppose each other to the end, then send Xiao Si back. In the past few years, this child has gotten along well with Fei Fei, if he really kills her, I'm afraid Fei Fei won't be able to accept it. Duan Hui hesitated and said, "If there is no evidence, I'm afraid Fei Fei won't let her go." "Well, yes, otherwise, let's test her, let her expose herself, and then let Fei Fei deal with it, so that Fei Fei may accept it." When the party is over, you gather the core members of the family to come over for a meeting and call Fei Fei as well. "Yes. After Duan Hui bowed, he retreated.

The next day, the core members of the Duan family all got the news that the Duan family was going to carry out a sneak attack on the Zhao family, fighting to cancel the core strength of the weak Zhao family, so that the Zhao family could be completely eliminated from the Holy Heavenly City in the future. When Duan Fei was about to practice, Xiao Si told her to go out and buy some personal belongings for herself, and after Duan Fei agreed, she went directly into the practice room. Xiao Si left the palace after checking his identity through the back door of the palace. After walking a few streets, Xiao Si turned into a shop selling jewelry. After a while, a small man wearing a hat stepped out of the back door of the shop. After a few circles on the street, this person came to Xicheng District. I entered a teahouse and went directly to a private room on the second floor. There was a man sitting in the private room, who turned out to be Zhao Hu, the second son of the Zhao family. After the little man came in, he sat directly opposite Zhao Hu and said: "Second brother, this time the Duan family may have a sneak attack on us, you go back and tell your father that you must be prepared, it is very likely that Xiao Rui and those two weirdos will take action, mainly against the core members of our family." I'll find out the specific time, and I'll let you know in advance when the time comes. ”

As soon as Zhao Hu was about to speak, the door of the private room was suddenly pushed open, and two people walked in from outside, both wearing hats. Zhao Huyi stood up and said in a deep voice: "Who are you, why did you break in indiscriminately." As he spoke, he swept the outside of the private room out of the corner of his eyes, and saw that the people he brought who were sitting at several tables outside the private room were already lying on the table, obviously solved by these two people. But his face did not show panic, after all, this is in Xicheng District, which belongs to the territory of the Zhao family. If you really fight, as long as you can support yourself for a while, someone will come to support.

The two people who entered the door were tall and short, and the short man standing in front did not answer Zhao Hu's question, but said to the little man: "Take off your hat and let me see your true face." "But it was a woman. When the little man who sat there heard the question, his body shook, and he immediately stood up, and did not speak, but clung to his hat tightly, as if he was very afraid of the woman opposite. But the woman didn't seem to want to let him go, so she stepped forward and said, "Take it off, don't let me do it." Listening to her cold tone, the little man hesitated. At this time, Zhao Hu said: "Who are you who dare to go wild here." Beware of this boy slaughtering you. The tall figure standing behind flashed, and he had already appeared in front of Zhao Hu, and a short knife appeared in his hand at some point, directly on Zhao Hu's neck. The dark blade was rusty, but Zhao Hu felt great fear. It was as if the knife was capable of devouring everything around him, putting him under tremendous pressure.

When the little man saw that Zhao Hu was being forced with a knife, he was so frightened that he immediately shouted: "Don't do it, I'll pick it." After speaking, he raised his hand and took off the hat on his head. The hat was taken off, revealing a pretty face that was covered, and the face was already full of tears, which was Xiao Si who came out of the palace. And the woman opposite her also slowly took off her hat, which was also a beautiful face, also full of tears, but it was Duan Fei, the princess of the Holy Heaven Empire. Duan Fei pointed at Xiao Si hatefully: "It's really you, it's really you! Why lie to me? Is it just so that your Zhao family can sit on the throne? Is that position really that important?" Xiao Si bit her lower lip tightly, tears couldn't stop flowing down, but she shook her head again and again, unable to say a word.

Zhao Hu said sharply: "Fourth sister, don't shed tears in front of their Duan family. You go quickly, go straight home and tell your father. Leave me alone. Xiao Si shook his head and said, "Second brother, I really don't want to do such a thing anymore, I'm sorry for our Zhao family, and I'm sorry for Princess Feifei." I really don't want to do it anymore. Fei Fei looked at Xiao Si with tears on her face, listened to her sad cry, she couldn't get angry anymore, and suddenly turned around and said, "Let's go!" The tall man with the knife took a step back, and as soon as he put down his hand, the knife disappeared, turned around and followed Princess Fei Fei, and walked towards the door, without even looking at Zhao Hu and the others, as if he was not worried that they would sneak attack from behind. Fei Fei walked to the door and said without replying: "Just because I never knew you, I never want to see you again." As he spoke, he put on his hat and led the tall man away.
