Xiao Yao leaned into Sima Liang's ear and whispered softly.

"Your Highness, Lord Zongzheng is looking for you."

"Uncle Clan is here?"

Sima Liang took a deep breath, but didn't open his eyes.

He frowned slightly and pinched the bridge of his nose.

Sima Liang finally fell asleep quickly, but now he was suddenly woken up, and he was naturally a little unhappy.

Uncle Ke's arrival was requested by him in a letter. Now that people are coming to the door, it is impossible to shirk it.

After a moment's pause, Sima Liang sighed.

"Tell Uncle Clan and let him come to me."

After Xiao Yao left, Sima Liang struggled to prop himself up and leaned against the bed.

When he had nothing to do, he looked at the food box next to the bed and smashed his mouth.

After peeking at the door, Sima Liang reached out and pulled the food box.

After some effort, he opened the food box and found two bean paste cakes inside.

After chewing slowly, he heard footsteps outside the house.

"Your Highness, I'm in."

Uncle Clan's voice came from outside the house.

Sima Liang was startled, like a child stealing food, at a loss.

In a hurry, he stuffed the bean paste cake in his hand into his mouth. He swallowed it without even a few bites.

"Enter... Come on. ”

Uncle Clan walked into the West Wing and came to the bedside.

When he saw Sima Liang, whose face was flushed, his brows furrowed. I thought: Isn't it typhoid? Why is the blood surging, and the face is red.

"Your Highness, are you a wind chill? How could this be the case? ”

Sima Liang was ready to explain.

But as soon as he opened his mouth, he hiccuped.

"I ...... Choked. ”

"Xiao Yao, quickly bring a glass of water."

Looking at the juniors who made jokes, the clan uncle couldn't help laughing.

"Don't blame Uncle Clan's jokes, if you want to blame, your Highness, you can still make such a fuss when you are sick."

Because he had been hiccuping, Sima Liang couldn't reply immediately.

Wait until you drink Xiao Yao and hand over the water. After his breath was smooth, he looked at his uncle.

"It's okay, it's not a shame to be in your own family."

Sima Liang laughed to himself.

"Also, Your Highness can eat, which means that your body is fine, which is a good thing."

Uncle Clan's witty words made the atmosphere much more harmonious.

After Xiao Yao left, the other party's smile disappeared immediately.

Immediately, he changed into a serious face.

"Although I don't know why Manager Shun looked nervous, I guess it may be that something happened to the little county lord."

"What? Something happened to Hu Yanxuan? ”

Sima Liang looked excited and stood up.

His eyes widened at the same time.

And his loud shout was heard by everyone in the courtyard.

"Something happened to the little princess?"

"Won't it?"

"What should I do then?"

"She's so small, how could anyone harm her?"

……

Just now, a few people who were relieved because Sima Liang woke up.

began to turn to Huyanxuan's worries.

The people in the room naturally don't know the situation outside.

Uncle Clan tried his best to calm Sima Liang's emotions.

"I'm just guessing, the specific news, I have to come back to the manager, I won't know."

"If that's right, he'll let you know soon."

Even if it was a hypothesis, Sima Liang's expression did not relax.

He knew that at this point in time, Xiao Shunzi looked nervous. There is a high probability that there is only a matter of Hu Yanxuan.

Come to think of this. Sima Liang had a splitting headache.

He kept tapping the back of his head on the side of the bed.

"Xiao Shunzi, how could he let Hu Yanxuan have an accident?"

"Doesn't he know the importance of things?"

"No, I have to get up. In public and private, you can't let Huyanxuan have an accident. ”

Sima Liang lifted the quilt and prepared to get up.

Uncle Clan hurried and stopped him.

"Your Highness, don't worry. It's possible that I'm overthinking. ”

"Let's wait for the exact news before we take action."

Stopped like this, Sima Liang lay down again.

Uncle Clan leaned into his ear and whispered.

"Your Highness, have you heard of the Illuminati."

"The Illuminati?" Sima Liang was puzzled.

He had never heard of the name, but based on the name analysis, he felt that it must not be a good organization.

"It seems that those old guys didn't tell you these things."

Uncle Clan was thoughtful.

"Are they the remnants of the rebel forces of the Yan Kingdom?" Sima Liang guessed.

Uncle Clan nodded.

"Some of them are. There is also a part above the court. But they no longer dare to call themselves members of the Illuminati. ”

"What? So is my grandfather really a rebel? ”

Sima Liang was shocked.

He knew that above the court, there was only one force that matched the identity of the remnants of the Yan Kingdom.

That is Sima Liang's grandfather, the force he controlled in the past.

"No, although the Illuminati was founded by your grandfather's father, the original intention was to allow the former ministers of Yandi to gain a foothold in the court of the Li Kingdom."

"It's just that there is a lot of power and a lot of people. It is inevitable that there will be, don't care about people. In addition, the Illuminati are basically former ministers of the Yan State, and they are easily instigated by the rebel forces. ”

"Thirty years ago, the Illuminati purged the interior. A large number of people with rebellious thoughts were swept away. These rebel parties, founded the Twilight Society, and over the next decade, went wild. ”

"In order to curb the growth of this force, the first emperor, that is, your imperial grandfather. Reuse the southern scholars led by your grandfather, and slow down the development of the Dusk Society in the way of dredging and blocking. ”

"Both at the time and later. The decisions of the first emperor were very clever. With the addition of Your Majesty, the stroke of genius solved the ......"

Speaking of this, the clan uncle suddenly paused.

He looked at Sima Liang with a little embarrassment.

"It's okay, just keep talking."

Sima Liang's expression was complicated.

He knew that what the other party wanted to say in the future was his grandfather's Li family.

Aside from his relationship with the Li family, Sima Liang could understand the emperor's behavior.

But he is the authority after all, and he is unwilling and unable to let go of all this.

Seeing that the other party was a little depressed, the clan uncle sighed.

"Rights are fascinating and unforgiving. The emperors who have sat on the throne of one person in the past generations are all sons of power and ruthless people. ”

"Only such a person can control the country of Li, an old and powerful empire."

"Especially after the destruction of the Yan Kingdom, the Li Kingdom has its appearance, and the interior has long been decayed."

"If it weren't for the first emperor, he and His Majesty would work hard to balance the government and the opposition on a single-plank bridge. The state of Li has long since dispersed. ”

"Among them, Your Majesty is even more powerful. To put it bluntly, if it weren't for Your Majesty, I might not have lost. Even if I lose, I am also the king of Yan who seized Jiangnan. ”

"But if you become a king or lose a king, there is no if. Your Majesty is better than me in every way, I admit it. ”

"It's a bit off-topic. When people are old, they like to reminisce about the past. ”

Uncle Clan shook his head and laughed at himself.

"It's okay, Uncle Clan will continue to speak." Sima Liang replied absentmindedly.

On a normal day, he would have liked to hear these stories of the past. But he is very worried about Hu Yanxuan now, and he can't listen to these unrelated things.

"Okay, I'm not going to talk nonsense."

"What I want to say, if the little county lord really has an accident, it must have something to do with the Rong family."

"I also heard about yesterday's incident of Your Highness."

"In addition to the Rong family, before that, they were members of the Dusk Society. Even if he didn't do it, the news must have been leaked by Rongyang. ”

"What? Is the Rong family at dusk? ”

Sima Liang came back to his senses and looked at his uncle in surprise.

Even if he was mentally prepared, he was still a little surprised to learn the true face of the Rong family.

"Is your message accurate? Have you ever told your father? ”

Uncle Clan nodded.

"I'm ashamed to say that I was there when dusk started, so I can't be wrong. As for the situation in Yancheng, as early as twenty years ago, I informed His Majesty of everything. ”

In the first half of the words, Sima Liang was just surprised, but when he heard the second half of the words, his expression became not calm. thought to himself: I knew that it was a traitor, and I let the prince contact the other party. Could it be that the prince was an outcast from beginning to end? There is also the layout of the Lu family, as well as orders to me. The big chess of the father and the emperor is too terrifying.

Seeing that God didn't reply, Uncle Clan could guess what he was thinking.

He gently patted Sima Liang on the shoulder.

"Your Majesty's thoughts, it's better not to speculate too much. If Your Majesty really designed you, you must have thought of your father and son, and you will also give you a good death. ”

"I hope so."

Although he said so, in fact, Sima Liang could hardly believe the emperor.

He didn't know what the other party was going to do, and he didn't know how the other party would arrange his ending.

The original secret letter from Zhongdu made Sima Liang feel a little relieved.

But the Illuminati and Twilight Meetings that have broken out now have more or less something to do with him. This made him feel as if he was being designed by the emperor from beginning to end.

The more he thought about it, the more distracted Sima Liang became, so much so that he ignored the pain.

I don't want to think about it for the time being, the scheming emperor's father.

Sima Liang analyzed the situation according to the information given by the clan uncle.

The news of Hu Yanxuan's arrival in Yancheng is only known to the Tang family, if the situation of the inner ghost is ruled out.

When the island in the middle of the lake meets Rongyang, it is the only place where Hu Yanxuan's identity is leaked.

If it was really because of yesterday, Hu Yanxuan was targeted.

That Sima Liang does have an inescapable responsibility.

Damn, it's not good where to go, why should I go to that island.

If Hu Yanxuan has a good one, I must taste the bitterness of the Rong family.

By the way, the woman hiding on the island in the middle of the lake will not be the high-level of the Twilight Society.

Sima Liang thought of a strange point.

"Uncle Clan, do you know who the leader of the Dusk Society is?"

"I don't know, this is a top secret of the traitorous party. I've only worked with them before, but not to the point where I know the roots. ”

"I just want to replace it, not to be treasonous. In the original plan, whether they succeeded or failed, I would purge them. This kind of jumping clown thinks that he can go against Li Guo, and he doesn't want to think about how many catties and taels he has. ”

Listening to the clan uncle talk about the rebellion, Sima Liang was slightly embarrassed.

He touched his nose and changed the subject.

"Is there a woman in a high position in the twilight meeting?"

"Women?" Uncle Clan pinched his beard and thought about it for a moment.

Then he waved his finger and replied in the affirmative.

"Women are, but I'm not sure about their identity. It may be an orphan of the royal family of Yan Kingdom. ”

"Why speculation?" Sima Liang was puzzled.

Uncle Clan smiled.

"This involves one, the folk tale of Yancheng. Plus this woman, in the twilight party, there is no sense of existence. I feel like it's no different with her or without her. And before I started the army, she seemed to be married. ”

"After that, I went to Hwaseong, and the dusk meeting was also hidden, and I never contacted it again."

"The only thing that knows for sure is this woman. If he was alive, he would be in his forties. ”

"How many are forty?" Sima Liang frowned. I thought: This woman is quite beautiful, and the gouache is so trendy.

Bang bang bang.

"Your Highness, I have something important to repay."

With the knock on the door, Xiao Shunzi's panicked voice came from outside the house.

"Come in."

Thinking that something might happen to Hu Yanxuan, Sima Liang returned to reality.

Then, the headache returned, and he closed his eyes and leaned uncomfortably against the edge of the bed.

Soon, a rush of footsteps reached the bedside.

Immediately, the sound of kneeling kowtow sounded.

"Your Highness, the slave is guilty."

"The slave has been entrusted by His Highness, and the little county lord has been robbed."

"I didn't expect it to come true."

Sima Liang slapped his head, a little unacceptable.
