At dusk, Mei Yuan returned from the barracks outside the city, and felt that the atmosphere in the mansion was not right.

Although everything looked like normal in the house, Mei Yuan always felt that something was wrong.

He subconsciously quickened his pace and walked towards the inner house.

When he saw Lamei at the arch of the inner house, Mei Yuan paused slightly, and was more sure that something was wrong.

Sure enough, Lamei curtsied at Mei Yuan: "Master Hou, Madam has something to look for you." ”

"Where's Madame?"

"Madame is waiting for you in the side room of the main courtyard."

Lamei didn't say much, Mei Yuan didn't ask much, just nodded, and strode towards the inner house.

In the side room, Qiao Huaping sat at the table, looking calm, and there was a soft pale pink handkerchief on the table.

"Squeak", Mei Yuan pushed the door in, and Lamei followed behind, slightly panting because she had to walk faster to keep up with Mei Yuan's steps.

Qiao Huaping glanced at Lamei, Lamei nodded in understanding, and quietly closed the door behind Mei Yuan.

Mei Yuan obviously didn't think that Qiao Huaping was going to do something with him for such a show, he was a little nervous, and asked Qiao Huaping: "But what happened?" ”

Qiao Huaping motioned to Mei Yuan to look at the things on the handkerchief.

Mei Yuan stepped forward and saw that it was a silver needle: "What is this?" ”

"Today, Ano went out to play in a carriage, and someone shot this into the horse's mane. Fortunately, Aye's guards were effective and saved Aye...... The child was fine, he had already fallen asleep. ”

The shadow on Qiao's eyebrows was deep: "Isn't it, someone already knows Aye's identity?" ”

Mei Yuan's face changed, and he stepped forward to pick up the silver needle and identify it carefully.

He took another teabowl, poured some white water into it, and put the silver needle into the water; Then, he groped for a bag of things from his body, poured it directly on the table, poured out a bunch of things, and began to rummage through them.

Qiao Huaping looked intently, and saw that most of the things were some strange powder bags.

Mei Yuan picked out a powder bag for a long time and poured some colorless powder into the water.

The water in the cup gradually turned a strange blue.

Mei Yuan's face changed, and he grabbed Qiao Huaping's hand: "You and Aye, haven't you been injured by this silver needle?!" ”

"Don't worry, no." Qiao Huaping shook his head and stared at the bowl of green water, "What's going on?" ”

Mei Yuan let out a breath, and his face softened slightly: "...... This powder was given to me by an old friend I met on the battlefield. It is used to identify some things that have been stained with Gu poison in Western Xinjiang. It is estimated that Gu poison has been added to this silver needle...... Therefore, a small silver needle, shot into the horse's mane, can make a horse go crazy and startle the horse without knowing it. It can be seen that the other party does not want to reveal his identity yet, so that we can perceive that someone wants to deal with Aye. ”

Gu poison Gu poison, although it accounts for the word "poison", but some of them, even the most experienced doctors, can't find the abnormality of the pulse.

"Western Xinjiang ......" Qiao Huaping's expression was solemn, "How could the people of Western Xinjiang want Aye's life?" ”

Mei Yuan's expression was equally solemn: "Right now, above the court, the emperor's harem has no heirs, and several county kings who are likely to inherit the unification have a lot of support behind them. ”

The two looked at each other, but neither spoke.

But they knew in their hearts that Aye's identity had been revealed.

Mei Yuan said in a low voice: "Don't worry, I will do everything I can to protect Aye without worry." ”

Qiao Huaping slowly and slowly clenched his hands: "...... Could it be that this sword of Damocles has been hanging over Aye's head? ”

Mei Yuan didn't understand: "What sword?" ”

Qiao Huaping pursed his lips: "That is to say, a sword is hung with an extremely thin horse's mane, hanging above his head, I don't know when this sword will fall...... This sword is called the Sword of Damocles. ”

Although Mei Yuan didn't know why the sword was called the name of the tongue twister, he didn't know why he used horsehair to hang the sword above his head.

But he can understand Qiao Huaping's anxiety.

Mei Yuan raised his hand, hesitated slightly, but still put his hand on Qiao Huaping's shoulder: "Pingping, you believe me." I'll check it out. ”

Qiao Huaping raised his head and looked at Mei Yuan.

The hands on the shoulders are a little heavy, but they are also a little warm.

This warmth, from the shoulders all the way to the bottom, melted to the bottom of my heart.

Mei Yuan didn't say anything, just looked at her deeply, seriously.

It seems that she is the only one in those eyes.

Qiao Huaping's eyes flickered with thousands of stars, and after a long time, she nodded and said softly: "...... Good. ”

……

After chatting with Qiao Huaping, Mei Yuan really didn't feel at ease with his son, so he went to Bai Feiye's house.

The little guy had already woken up, rubbing his eyes, trying to put on a pitiful appearance, and bargaining with the maid who took care of him: "Sister Jade Cake, I have already drunk a bowl of soup before going to bed, and I really don't want to drink another bowl." ”

He also patted his little belly pitifully, indicating that he really couldn't drink.

The maid sighed distressedly, and then the iron mask selflessly rejected Bai Feiye: "Little master, this soup is small, and the lotus root and lily in it have the effect of calming the nerves, which is also for the sake of your body." ”

Bai Feiye sighed like a little adult, and as soon as he looked up, he saw Mei Yuan coming, he immediately shouted "Dad", and then jumped off the couch with his shoes and ran towards Mei Yuan.

Mei Yuan held Bai Feiye's ass and lifted the little guy up.

"Dad, what about the little armor you said you wanted to bring me?" Bai Feiye couldn't wait to ask.

There is no haze between the eyebrows.

Mei Yuan couldn't help but smile a little: "In the hands of the guards, I'll have someone send it to you in a while." ”

"Great!" Bai Feiye responded loudly, happily wrapping his arms around Mei Yuan's neck, "I know that my father loves me the most!" ”

Mei Yuan chatted with Bai Feiye for a few words, Bai Feiye saw that Mei Yuan was still wearing military clothes, and he was a little embarrassed, so he got down from Mei Yuan: "Did Dad just come back from duty?" …… Dad, you can change your clothes first. I'm fine. ”

Mei Yuan nodded majestically: "Dad knows that although our Aye is young, he is also an iron-clad man. ”

Bai Feiye proudly straightened his small chest.

Mei Yuan added: "Don't forget to drink that hot soup." ”

Bai Feiye instantly drooped: "...... Oh! ”

The corners of Mei Yuan's mouth raised slightly, and he patted the top of Bai Feiye's head: "Be good, obedient." ”

Bai Feiye clenched his fists: "Ah Ye has always been very obedient, and my mother also said that I will sleep with Ah Ye tonight!" ”

Mei Yuan: "......"

Who envied him did not say.

In short, just looking at Bai Feiye, Mei Yuan is the love of his old father; Looking at Bai Feiye again at this time, Mei Yuan's mood can only be summed up in three words - stinky boy!
