The young man shook his head amusedly, reached out and took back the knife not far away, turned around and left slowly into the distance.

"If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really wants to thank me, just do more good deeds, as for the rest, forget about it, a person like me can't afford to enjoy such a heavenly wealth. ”

The crown prince sneered at the people and horses who were hurrying not far away, raised his hand to knock the assassin unconscious, sorted it out and pretended to be very panicked, and looked at the emperor with an indifferent expression and slowly spoke: "Father saved me, I don't know where the assassin came from, and he actually wanted to hold his son hostage." ”

The young man walked to the door of the Taoist temple not far away, looked at the closed door and sighed twice before saying, "I can be regarded as a favor for you, and now you are still turning me away, isn't it a bit too much." ”

The door opened in response, Han Xiaoxiao walked out in thin clothes, and frowned at the young man who was still stained with blood on the handle of the dusty servant's knife, and then turned sideways to let him in.

"I just told you to go and see what the prince is doing, how did you make it like this?"

The young man sat unceremoniously on the stone bench in the courtyard, and drank a cup of tea before speaking: "Isn't this the people in the capital who are moving, when I first arrived, the prince was almost killed by an assassin, and I had to reveal my identity in order to save him, you should be careful recently, I don't think the person who became the king will be so good." ”

Han Xiaoxiao's hand pouring tea paused, looked at the young man inexplicably, and spoke again for a long time: "How long are you going to stay here?" I heard that your family is looking for someone in this area. ”

When the young man heard this, he jumped up like a frightened cat, and did not care about the hot water spilling on his clothes, and said repeatedly: "That will not work, if I tell them to find out that they will not be able to come out for a while, then I will take my leave, and you can contact me with a pigeon if you have something to do in the future." ”

A pigeon with snow-white feathers slowly landed on Han Xiaoxiao's arm, and its mouth made a cooing sound.

Han Xiaoxiao looked at the young man who was far away and shook his head helplessly, turned around and walked into the house, continuing the nap he had just woken up.

In the camp, the crown prince cautiously knelt in the center of the tent, watching the emperor walking around and stopping, and only said dryly for a long time: "Father is troubled? ”

The emperor let out a long sigh, waved his hand and called the people on the side to go down: "Do you know that your current identity is the crown prince, what are you doing when you go to such a remote place alone?"

"The father was angry, and the sons were just a little bored, and went to relax, but they didn't expect that there were assassins in this camp. ”

After speaking, the prince pretended to be very ashamed and lowered his head, and secretly kept looking at Concubine Cheng, who was accompanying the emperor with a curling voice.

Concubine Cheng has been lazy since she was pregnant, and she didn't think about it, but when she saw the prince looking at her vigorously, she was a little nervous.

"Your Majesty, let's check on that assassin first, this well-guarded place can come in, it can be seen that he is not an ordinary person, if we send someone else over one day, wouldn't it be dangerous for us." ”

The emperor felt that it made sense, patted Concubine Cheng's hand and comforted him softly: "You don't have to worry too much, these guards are all sent by King Cheng, and they are all soldiers who fought on the battlefield, even if there are three or two assassins, it will not be in the way, and the prince will not have an accident if he doesn't go to such a remote place without permission." ”

The prince clenched his fists tightly, and he was very angry in his heart, why did he become a king and do everything right, everything he did was reliable, and he had to bear all the mistakes.

Concubine Cheng saw that the prince's face was getting worse and worse, and she wanted to take the emperor away first, so she couldn't let the prince say anything bad to King Cheng in front of the emperor.

The prince seemed to see what she meant, and cut off her words in advance: "My father didn't know anything, and my son just suspected that King Cheng was suspicious and found an opportunity to tempt, but I didn't expect him to really let the assassin in, I was also sad and confused at this time, and I was thinking about hiding this matter just now, but seeing that my father trusted that person so much, my son really couldn't hide it." ”

Concubine Cheng's teeth were about to be crushed, and she snorted fiercely before she slowly spoke: "Although King Cheng is not my own son, he is also an adopted son, and I know his character best, it is impossible for him to do such a thing, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is still cautious." ”

The emperor looked at the crown prince gloomily, bent down slightly, and asked in a cold voice: "He is your younger brother, you may be able to get evidence for slandering him like this?"

Evidence can be forged at any time, so the prince was not flustered, but laughed out loud: "Since the son dares to say it, he is determined, if the father doesn't believe it, he can check it at any time, if he can't find out, the son is willing to use his life to clear the reputation of the king." ”

Seeing the prince's determination, the emperor was also a little suspicious, and his gaze became more and more unkind.

Concubine Cheng originally wanted to use the child in her belly to hold the prince tightly, and then use her adoptive mother to grasp King Cheng, so that whoever wins these two people can get benefits.

At this time, seeing that the prince no longer missed the old love, she simply broke the jar and broke it, and looked at the emperor with a very aggrieved look, and couldn't stop crying.

The emperor wanted to ask a question to scare Concubine Cheng and tell her to be honest, but he didn't expect to be startled before he could speak, and helplessly patted his chest and said, "What are you doing here?" ”

Concubine Cheng made herself cry pitifully, while gently touching her stomach and sobbing and said: "The concubine is crying for the child in this belly, and his brother will be suspected before he is born, so our mother and son might as well die now, so as to fulfill the slander of the prince." ”

Although the emperor is not considered to be a handful of age, his body is not as good as a year, and now when he heard that he had a child again, he was so happy that he hurriedly helped Concubine Cheng who was sitting on the ground, and he didn't care about the fact that assassins were not assassins.

"Why didn't you say it earlier if you were pregnant, I didn't say that I wanted to sit on this child, and besides, the prince just said casually that he didn't even have a piece of evidence, when did you hear me promise him to investigate this matter. ”

The prince looked at Concubine Cheng with a pale face, and couldn't help comforting himself in his heart, at least Concubine Cheng recognized this child as the emperor, and she would save a lot of trouble in the future.

Concubine Cheng looked at him with a look full of provocation, and pretended to be very innocent on her face and spoke slowly.
