After Rong Ruo left, Lin Xiao was in a complicated mood, it stands to reason that after waiting for a thousand years, he should be happy, but at this moment, he can't be happy.

Lin Xiao returned to the house and lay down on the bed.

After a while, the white slave came in from the window and saw Lin Xiao actually on the bed, so he was born and asked, "Lin Xiao, has something happened?" ”

Lin Xiao didn't expect the white slave to come, he sat up, his face returned to normal, "Bai slave, I didn't let you go back to your master's side, why did you come back again?" ”

"She's already asleep, I'll take a look to see if there's anything going on here." Bai Nu said, his intuition made him feel that there was something wrong with Lin Xiao, because he rarely lay in bed, and he slept on a rocking chair on weekdays.

The white slave asked again, "Are you really okay?" ”

"What can I do, it's just to meet an old friend and talk about the past, and it's a little sad." Lin Xiao pretended to be relaxed and said.

The white slave did not suspect him and did not ask any more.

The white slave is his younger brother, and he can't watch the white slave sacrifice, but if he doesn't do that, that person can't come out.

Thinking of this, he decided not to tell Bai Nu first, and when he found a way to deal with it, he would definitely find a solution, and then tell Bai Nu.

At this time, there was also a change in the capital, the emperor was seriously ill, and issued an edict, setting up the emperor's grandson Xiao Jinghao as the crown prince and supervising the country on behalf of the Son of Heaven.

Xiao Jinghao had just dispersed the early dynasty, and he saw Wu An and others pacing back and forth outside the hall, and when he saw Xiao Jinghao coming out, he hurriedly greeted him.

"Is it the emperor's grandfather, he's not good?" Xiao Jinghao asked a little eagerly.

Wu An cried and replied, "Your Majesty, you can still eat half a bowl of porridge in the morning, and you can talk to the old slave a few times, but he can't speak in the afternoon." ”

Xiao Jinghao didn't speak, he quickened his pace.

In the past few months, he has experienced as many things as there have been years. Every day, his feet don't touch the ground, and he keeps dealing with all kinds of court affairs, as well as palace affairs.

Xiao Jinghao walked to Xiao Chengqi's bed, in the room, the light was a little dim, and the air was filled with the smell of medicine and secretions.

The person lying on the bed had deep sunken eye sockets, and he was so thin that only a skeleton remained.

"Grandpa Huang, Grandpa Huang." Xiao Jinghao called softly a few times, but Xiao Chengqi still closed his eyes.

Half a month ago, Xiao Chengqi couldn't afford to be ill, and he could only use decoction to continue his life every day, although he couldn't walk, but he was still good at speaking, but now he can't speak.

And he blocked the news of all this, otherwise, according to the current chaotic situation, I am afraid that the world will be in chaos.

Xiao Jinghao was pale, the emperor's grandfather died soon, his heart was sour, and tears wet his eyes.

These days, he has whitened the heavy responsibility on the shoulders of the emperor, the hardships of the emperor's grandfather, and the helplessness in it.

At present, many courtiers still have some disobedience to him, which makes him constrained everywhere.

A month ago, he was a carefree prince, but now he is a prince, but he can no longer show laughter.

In the dead of night, Xiao Jinghao would think of Xiyun, think about what would happen to her in Shiqi Academy, and think of her smile, he could feel comforted.

"Prince, General Tu is out asking to see you." Wu An came in and started to give.

Xiao Jinghao took a deep breath, held back his tears, closed his eyes, paused for a moment, and strode out, now, he has learned to be silent in front of his courtiers.

Tuha finished saluting Xiao Jinghao, "Your Majesty, how is he?" ”

Xiao Jinghao looked into the distance and didn't speak, Tuha knew that the emperor should be bad.

Then he began to say, "Prince, the people we sent down have a reply, and now rumors are spreading in the rivers and lakes, and many people in the rivers and lakes and the remnants of the previous dynasty are plotting to rebel in the name of looking for the 'Heluo Star Map'. ”

Xiao Jinghao shrank his pupils, and then said, "I will send an order to the soldiers and horses of all cities to tighten their vigilance and strictly investigate those who enter and leave the city, and those who are not allowed to hide drawings and weapons privately, if there are any, they will be arrested and imprisoned first."

Tuha nodded, he didn't expect that in just half a month, Xiao Jinghao has changed from a young boy before to a mature and steady now, it seems that in time, he will be a good emperor who is dictatorial.

"There is one thing, the minister has been thinking about it for a long time, and he still has to tell the prince." Tuha said again.

"What?"

Tuha turned his head to look at Xiao Chengqi's room, and after turning back, he made up his mind and said, "The emperor gave his ministers a secret decree a long time ago. If the situation in the court is turbulent and threatens the succession of the crown prince, he will let the ministers secretly detain Xiao Zhangyuan of Shiqi Academy, and if the world is in turmoil, Xiao Zhangyuan will be ......"

Tuha made a hand-cutting move.

Xiao Jinghao was a little shocked when he heard this, why would the imperial grandfather treat the third emperor uncle so ruthlessly. However, he knew in his heart that the emperor's grandfather did this for the sake of the Xiao family's world.

But can a picture really change all this?

He didn't want to believe it, and he didn't want to believe it, Xiao Jinghao closed his eyes for a while, and then opened them, he had an idea in his eyes, he wouldn't let anyone make sacrifices for that purpose, he must find an antidote.

Seeing Xiao Jinghao's brows, Tuha didn't know what he thought, and he didn't make a sound.

"General Tuha, do you listen to me, or to the emperor's grandfather." Xiao Jinghao's eyes looked at Tuha fixedly, with a kind of majesty that belonged to the king.

Tuha knelt down on one knee and arched his hand, "Subordinate, listen to the prince's orders." ”

"Very well, from this day forward, the secret decree will be nullified, and you will act as if nothing happened." Xiao Jingyu's expression was serious.

Tuha said, "The subordinates receive the order." ”

Tuha also wondered why the emperor wanted to make such a will, he was a general, and he would never kill a scribe who had no power to restrain a chicken, not to mention that he was still the head of Shiqi Academy, he thought about this for a long time, and today he still said it to the prince.

Now that this is the case, he is at ease, thinking that maybe it was the emperor's confused decision for a long time.

In the Xia Mansion, Xia Yan sat in the study.

In front of him stood the housekeeper of the Xia Mansion, "Master, a message came from the palace, saying that the emperor can't speak today." ”

"How is the second prince doing?" Xia Yan flipped through a book, and there was no wave on his face.

"The second prince's side is already ready to move, and it seems that he is going to take action."

Xia Yan put down the book in his hand, got up and walked to the window, looking at the courtyard outside the window.

"You go in person and tell the second prince not to act impulsively, this time has not yet come."

After the housekeeper left, a smile appeared on the corner of Xia Yan's mouth, as if he was about to win.

He said in his heart, "I won't let you die so easily, I want you to watch the chaos in the Xiao family's world, watch the Xiao family kill each other, only in this way can you make up for the crimes you have committed." ”
