On the afternoon of the day when the news of the death of the queen mother came, it rained heavily, and the death knell of the 'Guangyuan Temple' rang out again and again in the suburbs of Beijing. The guard in charge of delivering the message galloped back in a white cloth in embarrassment, and when he turned over and dismounted, he was already physically exhausted and fainted.

Although the palace people had already discussed this matter in private, they couldn't help but be a little surprised when the 'bad news' really came. Because it was months earlier than everyone expected.

When Emperor Nanchu heard this report, he also showed a stunned and puzzled look on his face. But he still quietly passed the decree and wept up and down the six palaces. secretly sent people up the mountain to secretly investigate the truth.

That night, he ordered the fourth prince, Chu Zexi, to replace the prince and welcome back the queen's coffin. This is undoubtedly a kind of irony for the concubine who is the queen's mother, and it is even more incredible for Nan Chu, who 'lives the world with filial piety'.

The prince knelt straight outside the 'Jinluan Palace' in plain white, with a silver crown and his hair tied up, and his body was straight. His face was as solemn as winter, and his narrow Danfeng eyes stared at the direction of the palace gate without squinting, as if he could face the indifferent gaze of Emperor Southern Chu through the wall door. He had always known about his injustice as an emperor, but he still couldn't understand his father's last attempt to prevent him from visiting his mother.

"His Royal Highness the Prince? The ground is cold, the emperor asked the servants to persuade the prince to return to the palace, the emperor will not see the prince, let alone allow you to go up the mountain. ”

The chief steward passed the word carefully, for fear of accidentally offending the future 'emperor'. Although the death of the queen mother indicates the reshuffle of the harem of Southern Chu. The position of the crown prince can also be described as precarious. But there are no variables at the moment. The people should also be more cautious.

"This prince will not get up, please tell my father for this prince, the queen mother is the biological mother of this prince."

"This last journey should be done by His Royal Highness himself, if you can't even do this, won't you be ridiculed by the world."

The father-in-law shook his head, as if he had expected him to say this, and his thin lips opened lightly.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is benevolent and filial, and everyone in Southern Chu knows it. But the queen mother was riddled with evil diseases this time, and there was no medicine for the medicine. If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince rushes to go"

"Putting yourself in danger, this move will make the Southern Chu Jiangshan Society fall into turmoil, Your Majesty asked the servants to tell His Highness."

"The prince of a country must not commit this danger, if the prince insists on this, then the day when the East Palace will change hands is just around the corner."

As soon as these words came out, a fine light shot out of his eyes that were already as cold as frost, and the nails of his clenched fists were deeply embedded in the flesh, and he couldn't stop trembling because of the anger he was holding back。。。。。。

Just when the father-in-law in charge thought that the prince would reprimand, he saw the man in front of him lift up his front placket and struggle to get up, but he knelt down for too long, his legs were weak, and his body staggered.

The father-in-law hurriedly stepped forward to hold on.

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, be careful!"

"Thank you, Lord Steward, for reminding His Royal Highness, it was the prince who was thoughtful and made his father unhappy, so please ask your father-in-law to help tell your father."

"This prince knows that he is wrong, so he will go back to the house and wait for the fourth brother to welcome back his mother."

After speaking, he turned around and was about to leave, but he passed by Chu Zexi who came in a hurry. He only bowed his head slightly, and said no more.

Chu Zexi had just stepped into the 'Jinluan Palace' with his front foot, and he heard a deep and majestic voice in his ears.

"Is the prince leaving?"

"Gone."

"What did I whisper to you?"

"Never."

"Do you know why the 'Guangyuan Temple' and my party sent you alone?"

It wasn't until he heard this question that Chu Zexi looked up at Emperor Southern Chu. And the other party looked at him for a long time, his eyes full of inquiry.

The man cheered up, pretended to be pensive, and pursed his lips for a moment before he said seriously.

"My father must be afraid that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will be too sad and hurt his body???"

Emperor Nanchu shook his head;

"That should be the fact that the political affairs of the previous dynasty are inseparable from the prince?"

Emperor Nanchu waved his hand

"Then, forgive the foolishness of the minister! Please tell me bluntly. ”

Chu Zexi knelt down and respectfully performed a courtesy.

In the middle of the ring, no one in the hall made a sound, but the man clearly felt that there was a gaze that was always watching him.

It wasn't until there was a tingling sensation in his legs that he heard an inaudible sigh.

"Xi'er, have you ever complained about your father?"

This is......!?

Chu Zexi was shocked, and he couldn't tell what Emperor Southern Chu had paid attention to today, so he replied cautiously.

"The sons can grow so big, thanks to the father, there are many heirs in the harem, and the father's government affairs are heavy, and it is normal for people to occasionally take care of the places."

Emperor Nanchu bowed his head, as if he was quite satisfied with this answer, and continued.

"I might as well tell you about your aunt's affairs, my imperial sister, the poison on the eldest princess is your aunt's!"

As soon as these words came out, the man looked up at Emperor Nanchu in shock, with undisguised shock and fear on his face. Everyone knows that the matter of the queen must have been framed by someone, and the people behind the scenes have secretly thought about many possibilities. But in any case, he never doubted his father.

"You don't have to look at me like that, this is not my idea, someone did it, and I acquiesced!"

Emperor Nanchu clasped his hands behind his back, his chin raised high, and his chest rose and fell with rapid gasps.

Obviously, how angry he was in this matter, but as the king of a country, he couldn't vent his emotions wantonly. And there happened to be an opportunity, a person, who took out this evil breath for him and did what he wanted to do but couldn't make up his mind for a long time。。。。。。

"What does my father want my son to do?"

Having said that, Chu Zexi still doesn't understand anything. 'Guangyuan Temple' must be a purgatory on earth, and how can all this allow the queen's concubine to witness all this, if one day the prince knows the truth, he will inevitably be estranged from his father. This kind of thing was never allowed to happen by Emperor Southern Chu.

So the best person to deal with all this is him! This queen mother, the sister of the former queen, her aunt has never treated Chu Zexi well since she was a child. For so many years, it has been shown that under the illusion that the years are quiet, there is endless hunting and persecution, although there is no evidence, but all traces point to this 'relative' of the bloodline.

What an irony!

And now Emperor Nanchu has seen the relationship between them. Ask him to come forward. His scheming father will pick every step he takes, but in fact he is the one who plays chess, what a calculation!

"I want you to kill all the people in the queen's palace of the 'Guangyuan Temple'. The queen's body doesn't need to be brought back to the palace, just burn it! ”

Emperor Nanchu's appalling words pulled the man back to reality, and he raised his head to look at his father in disbelief.

Burn the body of his wife, and not even leave a whole body for him to bury when he dies!!???

"What? Xi'er also thinks I'm too ruthless? ”

As if seeing through Chu Zexi's thoughts, the other party broke through with a word.

How dare a man admit this fatal question, and he is busy denying it.

"No, no, no, Erchen is thinking about how to make His Royal Highness the Crown Prince not suspicious!"

"The queen mother's mind is vicious, and it is an unforgivable crime to kill Her Royal Highness the eldest princess! The father has already saved the face of the queen's mother. ”

"He has never taken away his title, his father and emperor put the overall situation first in everything, and his sons and ministers are very impressed!"

If Xia Qingyi could hear this, she would definitely sigh to herself. She doesn't smile in her eyes, and the man who doesn't know how to flatter is full of scheming and calculation in his bones. As long as it is beneficial to himself, he will be able to catch it if he slaps the horse and reverses black and white. It's just that it's not necessary to show the mountain dew on weekdays!

"Xi'er, when you grow up, you can understand the hard work of your father, I am very pleased!"

Emperor Nanchu also stepped forward and patted the other party's arm, looking like a loving father.

"Don't worry, along the way, I will let Qing'er accompany you, if you want to talk about this, you don't have to hide it from her."

Finally said something he liked, anyway, after the holy decree, he had to go horizontally and vertically, if there was a little girl who wanted to accompany him, it would be different!

It's a good thing to fall in love at public expense! Don't be in vain.

"Erchen Xie Father and Emperor take care of it, and then the Erchen will go down to do something, and he will leave early tomorrow morning."

The main things have been explained, and Chu Zexi is too lazy to play any father-son filial piety with him here, although he can handle it, but he is not comfortable after acting for a long time, after all, this man must be inseparable from the matter of his mother's immortal.

And for so many years, he has allowed the subordinates in the palace to bully him, as if he didn't exist. This kind of father-son relationship is not uncommon at all! If you have this time, you might as well go back and tell the cutie the good news earlier!

Out of the 'Jinluan Palace', Chu Zexi did not delay for a moment, and went straight to the 'Shoukang Palace'. Without waiting for the palace people to pass through, he crossed the outer hall of the garden like a mirror of no one, and pushed Xia Qingyi's boudoir away with ease。。。。。。

"This prince has good news to hear from you。。。。。。"

Before he finished speaking, he saw Xiao Nizi, who was bathing 'naked' in the wooden barrel in the room, looking at the visitor in a daze.

Xia Qingyi has always disliked the red tape rules in the palace, so except for a few basic palace maids in the outer hall, only herself and her friends live in the inner hall, so freedom is her style. But now it has created a good opportunity for Chu Zexi to watch the 'beautiful bathing map'!!

Gong Yaoyuan, Ouyang Qingying, and Wanyan Yingge, who came to hear the sound, also 'participated in the grand scene' together, and participated in this accident, the four of them looked at each other, and in the end, Chu Zexi reacted first。。。。。。

"What are you all looking at, go out !!" As he spoke, he pushed the crowd with both hands and tried to expel him from the door,

"Your Royal Highness the Fourth Prince, aren't you leaving!?" Gong Yaoyuan stretched out a hand to restrain Chu Zexi.

The two glared angrily, neither of them would let go, but their subordinates secretly tried their best。。。。。。

"Get out of here! You two stinky men!! ”

An angry roar burst out of Xia Qingyi's mouth, she was really convinced, the two of them just didn't leave at the door in a grand manner, what!? Is she the referee and watching the show!?

"Go out and fight, my sister is angry!" Ouyang Qingying reminded him kindly.

At this moment, his eyes returned to the face of the little girl in the house!

What about it???

"Bang! Bang! Bang! ”

A vigorous and powerful palm wind carried the water past the men's faces。。。。。

"Brother Shen!"

"Hmm!"

Shen Changqing walked on the road, and when he met someone he knew well, he would say hello to each other or nod his head.

But it doesn't matter who it is.

There was no superfluous expression on everyone's face, as if they were very indifferent to everything.

on this.

Shen Changqing is used to it.

Because this is the Demon Suppression Division, it is an institution that maintains the stability of Great Qin, and its main responsibility is to kill demons and monsters, and of course there are some other side jobs.

Arguably.

In the Demon Suppression Division, everyone has a lot of blood on their hands.

When a person is accustomed to seeing life and death, then he will become indifferent to many things.

When he first came to this world, Shen Changqing was a little uncomfortable, but over time he got used to it.

The Demon Suppression Division is huge.

The people who can stay in the Demon Suppression Division are all powerful masters, or people who have the potential to become masters.

Shen Changqing belongs to the latter.

Among them, the Demon Suppression Division is divided into two professions, one is the town guard and the other is the demon exterminator.

Anyone who enters the Demon Suppression Division starts with the lowest level of demon slayer.

Then step by step, he is expected to become a town guard.

Shen Changqing's predecessor was a trainee demon slayer in the Demon Suppression Division, and he was also the lowest level of the demon slayer envoys.

Have memories of the predecessor.

He is also very familiar with the environment of the Demon Suppression Division.

It didn't take long for Shen Changqing to stop in front of an attic.

Unlike other places full of slaughter, the attic here seems to stand out from the crowd, and in the bloody Demon Suppression Division, it presents a different tranquility.

At this time, the attic door is open, and there are occasional people entering and exiting.

Shen Changqing only hesitated for a moment, and then stepped in.

Access to the attic.

The environment has changed in vain.

A burst of ink fragrance mixed with the faint smell of blood came to his face, making his brow furrow instinctively, but quickly stretched.

The smell of blood on everyone's body in the Demon Suppression Division is almost impossible to clean.
