"Jing'er, next, what I say to you, no one can tell you except yourself, even the people closest to you."

Seeing Xiao Chengqi's serious face and looking directly at him majestically, Xiao Jinghao's heart tightened, and he also changed his playful face, and nodded solemnly.

"Do you know where the 'Heluo Star Map' that has been passed down in the Tang Kingdom recently?"

"On my way back to the Imperial City, I seem to have seen a lot of people from the rivers and lakes walking around in all directions, and they are all looking for three things, which are said to be able to open this 'Heluo Star Map'."

"No matter whether these three things can open the 'Heluo Star Map' or not, Jing'er, you have to remember that if you protect this map, no matter who moves the mind of this chaotic country, you should be punished." Xiao Chengqi's eyes were full of murderous intent.

"Jing'er, do you know the Xiao Zhangyuan of Shiqi Academy?"

"I know, but I've never met."

"Actually, his true identity is your Third Emperor Uncle."

"Isn't the Third Emperor Uncle in the palace of the capital, recuperating from illness, I have seen it several times." Xiao Jinghao's face was not gloomy, so he, like everyone in the world, thought that Xiao Zhangyuan was just a clan member of the royal family.

"I know that you have a lot of doubts, so you listen to me first." The Heluo Star Diagram was obtained by your Taizu in a deep mountain, but he couldn't unravel the secrets in it, but he knew that the rumor 'Whoever gets the map will win the world'. So at the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, Taizu ordered people to hide the map, hidden in the city, they established the Shiqi Academy, and the map was hidden in it, for a hundred years, no one knew that the map was hidden in the academy.

Everyone in the world knows that there are six princes in the Tang Kingdom, but in fact, it should be seven princes. Your Third Emperor Uncle and your Fourth Emperor Uncle were originally twins, and back then, in order to choose a successor for the Academy, I also took great pains, they were all my blood and bones, and I couldn't bear to let anyone go. The successor of Shiqi Academy will be removed from the royal family, and he will grow up in Shiqi Academy since he was a child, and when he reaches adulthood, he must take 'Lustful Gu', and he must not be emotional and capricious, otherwise he will have heartache, and he can only save his life by taking the antidote once every six months. Jing Yu, who was only five years old at the time, didn't know where to get the news, so he recommended himself to go.

I still remember the scene when Jing Yu was leaving, and I thought he would say goodbye to me, but he didn't look at me, just got into the carriage like that, and followed the carriage away, and I never saw him again, maybe he still resented me in his heart. ”

Xiao Jinghao's expression at this time was no longer shocked, he thought to himself, sure enough, what the world said was right, ruthlessness is the emperor's family. He asked in a hoarse voice, "Grandpa Huang, why do you want to treat the Third Emperor Uncle like this, he is your son, your own son." ”

Xiao Chengqi looked at Xiao Jinghao lightly, and said slowly, "This picture is very important, it is related to the Jiangshan Sheji of the Tang Kingdom, compared with the Jiangshan Sheji, everything else is not very important, Jing'er, you have to remember this." ”

"For the sake of a rumor, even if you sacrifice the life of a loved one, doesn't it matter?" Xiao Jinghao staggered to his feet, looking at Xiao Chengqi with cold eyes, the face that used to be very protective and kind to him became so cold-blooded at this time, and a chill hit the bottom of his heart.

"Jing'er, I know that these truths are cruel, but this is the responsibility of the princes, and they have the obligation to protect the world."

Xiao Jinghao sat on the ground dejectedly and muttered to himself, "But he is our relative." ”

"This secret can only be known by those who sit on the dragon chair, Jing'er, you should know that once you sit in this position, you will not be you, you are just the master of the world." Xiao Chengqi glanced at Xiao Jinghao meaningfully, and Xiao Jinghao's eyes were so confused.

When he learned this cruel truth, how could it not be like this, when it was his turn, he also struggled, but for the sake of this imperial power, he still resolutely sent Xiao Jingyu away. Xiao Chengqi believes that Xiao Jinghao will be white, this is the price of being an emperor, and this throne will take away the emotions of being a human being.

"Jing'er, I know you need time to digest this, but I'm running out of time, remember to come and have dinner with me on a cloudy night."

Xiao Chengqi patted Xiao Jinghao's shoulder and shouted outside the door, "Wu An, send the little marquis to the west hall to settle down." ”

"Little Marquis, please." Wu Anfu lowered his body, his slightly chubby face, and said softly with an expression that seemed to be smiling but not smiling.

Xiao Jinghao slowly straightened up, and after greeting Xiao Chengqi, he turned around and walked out. He did not go to the west hall, but ran to the pavilion of the Imperial Garden. Wu An also ran straight out of breath in the back, and screamed a few times, but Xiao Jinghao didn't pay attention to him.

"Your Majesty, the little marquis, he ......" Wu An calmed down with difficulty and said.

Xiao Chengqi waved his hand and said calmly, "Let him be quiet, just send someone to watch it, don't disturb him." ”

Wu An took the order and went down to arrange, Xiao Chengqi sat there alone, coughed violently, his throat couldn't stop shaking, a mouthful of blood was spit out with some mucus, he hurriedly covered his mouth with a silk handkerchief, closed his eyes for a while, gasped a few breaths, helped the side of the collapse, walked to the incense burner, and threw the blood handkerchief into the furnace.

When Wu An came back, Xiao Chengqi was lying on the beauty couch with his eyes closed, Wu An brought Xiao Chengqi a blanket to cover it, and then walked towards the door, and whispered to the two little eunuchs guarding the door, "If the emperor wakes up, he will come to report me quickly." With that, he walked out.

Dark clouds covered the moonlight in layers, and the moonlight barely cast some light from the cracks, which was never enough, and the day was still dark after all.

Xiao Jinghao lay on the table for a while, the surroundings were very quiet, in the past, he liked this feeling of quietness, at this time, he felt that it was too quiet, so quiet that he could even hear his own heartbeat, this feeling made him afraid, and now he was left alone.

Thinking of the killing intent in Xiao Chengqi's eyes, and the indifference when talking about the Third Emperor Uncle, Xiao Jinghao finally turned pale, maybe this is the expression that the emperor should have, Xiao Chengqi is not only his imperial grandfather, he is the lord of the world.

Xiao Jinghao didn't remember his father, because he had never seen him. His mother rarely saw each other, and even when they did, they were polite greetings, which made him feel very bored. He has been by Xiao Chengqi's side since he was a child, he has no worries about food and clothing, and Xiao Chengqi will accompany him whenever he has time, so that he has a home and warmth.

If someone told him that this warmth had a price, he wouldn't believe it, but now that Xiao Chengqi put everything in front of him in vain, he didn't know what to do, he was really confused.

Xiao Jinghao got up weakly, walked to the stone pillar, leaned on the fence of the pavilion, and looked up at the sky, he really hoped that these were all dreams.

"Master, someone has come to the palace."

Xiao Jingchen, who was writing, continued to wave ink and said lightly, "Let him come in and reply, you wait at the door." ”

A man in a black cloak, with the brim of his hat pulled extremely low, as if he was afraid that others would recognize him, he flashed into the door, saluted Xiao Jingchen, and said in a low voice, "Third prince, see you." The little marquis returned to the palace and talked to the emperor for a long time, but it seemed that the little marquis was very emotional and ran into the pavilion alone. ”

"Did you hear what they said?"

"Old slave, I didn't hear it clearly, I only heard that it seemed to mention the third prince or something."

Xiao Jingchen's pen shook, he was stunned for a moment, then put the pen down and said, "A good word, it's useless." ”

"You go back first." Xiao Jingchen looked out the window and said.

After the person left, Xiao Jingchen returned to the table, looked at the words on it, it was the word "willow", showed an unpredictable smile on his face, and said to Qi Feng, "Return the little marquis to the palace, and reveal the news of the emperor's secret conversation to my second brother." ”
