They just don't want to be separated from their parents.

Last night's battle was too much of a shock for a five-year-old, even though they had tried their best to keep their composure.

"Well, this won't happen again, okay?" The brothers wilted in an instant like frosted eggplants, and Xi Qingyan was distressed and patted their backs gently.

These two children were destined to be extraordinary from birth, so their lives will definitely go through many twists and turns and dangers, Xi Qingyan did not want to raise them into canaries, and whispered to them about the recent events.

"Knowing people and knowing faces but not knowing their hearts, you should be more cautious in making friends in the future, and you can't trust others like your mother." What happened this time was indeed because Xi was careless.

She subconsciously thought that there would be no problem with the girl that Ming Xiu valued, so she lowered her vigilance, causing An Miao to take advantage of it.

"Mother, the city has been temporarily blocked, An Miao has not recovered from her serious injuries, she will definitely think of escaping from Shengjing, the so-called most dangerous place is the safest place, will she hide in the Ming Mansion?"

Su Xiaomo stretched his little face, his white and tender fingertips gently rubbed his chin, and said with a little hesitation.

This kid is really thoughtful.

With a touch of appreciation in his eyes, Xi Qingyan nodded his head almost invisibly, "It makes sense, this son and father should go down to the court, let's go to him, can you tell him what you think in person?"

Su Xiaomo's eyes moved, and he nodded vigorously.

Father has an irreplaceable place in the hearts of children, and there is no young master who does not desire to be approved by his father, even if he is as calm as Xiaomo, and it is no exception.

"Mother, mother, mother, I'm going too." Xi Xiaochen anxiously arched back and forth in Xi Qingyan's arms, and his milky little body softened in his heart.

"Okay, let's go together." The brothers were caught off guard by this situation, and after seeing Xi Qingyan, they didn't want to leave even half a step, and one of them held the woman's hand, like a guard, guarding the woman's side.

Soon after leaving Kunning Palace, the figure of Su Lixiao appeared in front of the three of them, the man was dressed in a four-clawed python robe, with gold wire trim, noble and respectful, as if he was dominating the world.

After seeing Xi Qingyan and the three of them, the sharp eyebrows and eyes immediately softened a little, and Su Lixiao strode forward, stroked the heads of the two brothers, and pressed the latter into misery, wrinkling his little face and bending his neck.

"Daddy, bad!" Xi Xiaochen puffed out his cheeks, took a step back, and stared at Su Lixiao with resentment, with a hint of happiness in the depths of his inky eyes.

The father and son had a "friendly exchange", and Shu Xiaomo also took the opportunity to tell the man about his guess, the latter nodded secretly, promising that Shu Xiaomo would send someone to investigate, and then asked Yun Fei to send them to the emperor.

"Do you want to meet Concubine Wei?" Last night, he only cared about asking Wei Shufei where the gunpowder was hidden, but there were still many questions that she needed to solve herself.

After seeing the two small groups go away, Xi Qingyan nodded slightly.

After all, there are some things that she is really very curious about.

There was a hint of helplessness in the man's eyes, as if to say that I knew, he pulled Xi Qingyan to a rockery in the imperial garden, and then walked into the depths until he was stopped by the stone wall.

His fingertips poked out two fingers from the sky, leaned over and slowly rubbed between the stone wall and the ground, and then he used the internal force to slap it hard, and the stone wall immediately opened from the middle, revealing a dim passage in the countryside.

"Let's go." It was just an escape channel left by the founding emperor, and it was later changed by the emperor into a prison for secretly holding felons, and now this place has been controlled by the sky.

After the two stepped into the passage, the stone wall behind them took the initiative to close, Xi Qingyan raised his eyebrows slightly, and the ancient mechanism of the heart was really wonderful.

The two of them walked for an unknown amount of time, and finally saw a fire at the end of the passage.

"Tick, tick......"

Wei Shufei didn't close her eyes almost all night, she didn't know if she would wake up again once she closed her eyes, her wrists were wet, her eyes were dull, and she was extremely frightened.

Why she hasn't yet

Die? Trapped here by Shu Lixiao and bleeding all night, is she dying?

Help, who will save her, or......

Kill her.

Her body trembled with panic and spasms, Wei Shufei's eyes were blindfolded, and she could only prick up her ears to listen carefully to the movements around her, but all she heard in her ears was the ticking sound, no matter how she shouted and threatened, she seemed to be the only one left in the empty dungeon.

I don't know how long it took, just when Wei Shufei's expression was tense and about to collapse, there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside.

"Who?" There was a thick fear in the tone of the inquiry, and the woman subconsciously swallowed her saliva, her slender body was like a taut string, and she was stiff and stunned in place.

The ground was wet, as if it had been washed by water, and there was a faint smell of earth in the air, which smelled of decay.

Xi Qingyan looked at Concubine Wei Shu's tragic situation, her eyes were not shocked, and she didn't even leave any traces.

It's just self-inflicted, and what do you have to do with others?

His eyes turned slightly, and he glanced at Yun Fei lightly, who immediately lit the torch in the dungeon.

Wei Yanran only felt that her eyes lit up, and she saw a few figures, she moved her body weakly, until she struggled violently, and her mouth also let out a strange scream, and her delicate little face was no longer the glory it used to be, and it was full of hideousness.

"Concubine Wei, do you want to live?" Embarrassed in his heart, but he would not have the slightest sympathy, Xi Qingyan stood three steps away from the woman, and his breath was indifferent and alienated.

"You ......" frowned, Concubine Wei Shu paused, gritted her teeth and said, "Xi Qingyan!"

Why isn't she dead yet? What about Ann Miao? Did she fail?

The fingertips were instantly cold, and the whole heart seemed to be soaked in the water of the snowy mountain pool, Wei Shufei shivered coldly, and the snow-white shell teeth bumped up and down, trembling, like a frightened mouse.

"What? You seem surprised to see me? Concubine Wei Shu, do you know that An Miao is dead."

The red lips were slightly hooked, with a touch of bad arc, and Xi Qingyan's whispering fell on Wei Shufei's ears, but it undoubtedly became a thunderbolt from the sky, making her whole person freeze in place as if she was frozen.

Shaking her head vigorously, Concubine Wei Shufei yelled at Xi Qingyan angrily: "No, it's impossible, Xi Qingyan, you don't want to lie to me!"

She had been planning for many years, and finally decided to do it, how could she fail? Lie to her, Xi Qingyan must have lied to her.

"Last night, she took Elder Mo and the people of the Chiyan Clan to meet us in the south of the city, and guess what?" The deliberate pause aroused the curiosity of the former, Xi Qingyan was full of evil interest, and his hand lightly swiped An Miao's wrist, and when he was about to leave, he suddenly looked at the blood vessels between his wrists.

"Her illusions don't work for us, you know her best, and if she loses her illusions, how can she be our opponent."

According to her observation, An Miao and Concubine Wei Shufei should be old acquaintances, otherwise Concubine Wei Shufei would not spare no effort to help her like this, and even put the entire Weiguo Mansion into it.

"She was chanting your name before she died, Concubine Wei Shu, you are like this, you are dead now, and it is worth it." Flickering at Concubine Wei Shu without changing her face, Xi Qingyan watched the belief in her heart collapse, and the whole person cried and laughed, as if crazy.

The soft tone seemed to be a little bewitching, Xi chuckled lightly, and continued: "In this world, no one will remember her except you, are you willing? Don't you want to make your relationship public? Can you bear to watch Ann die in vain?"

"Concubine Wei, stop being obsessed, tell me everything you know, okay?"

With a hint of a unique rhythm in her tone, Xi Qingyan's voice flickered loud and small, until the last word fell, she suddenly raised her hand to uncover the black cloth in front of the woman's eyes, and the moment she opened her eyes, a pair of water-colored eyes looked straight at her.

"Come, tell me everything you know, and I'll think of ways to make the world remember Ann, so that she won't die in vain."

With a hint of hesitation in her misty eyes, Concubine Wei moved the corners of her lips, and was about to shake her head to refuse, but saw Xi Qingyan snap her fingers suddenly, "Do you want An Miao to disappear in front of others?" Wei Shufei!

How can you be worthy of her?"

The tone became more and more high, and finally even brought a hint of questioning, looking at Xi Qingyan's victory, the corners of his lips were imperceptibly hooked.

What is this called? Oh, by the way, the woman said that it was hypnosis, which could trick the enemy into letting down his guard and saying everything he wanted to know.

However, this method is not something that anyone can learn, and Su Lixiao has practiced with Xi Qingyan a few times, but all of them ended in failure.

A trace of struggle crossed between her eyebrows, and the clarity in Wei Shufei's eyes completely faded, turning to a little dazed and obedient, her eyelids drooped, as if she was looking at the ground.

"I grew up with her since I was a child, and the reason why I entered the palace is also to make it easier for her to act in the future."

From Wei Shufei's intermittent sentences, Xi Qingyan slowly pieced together a truth.

An Miao and Wei Shufei have known each other since childhood, and even Wei Shufei has some different feelings for An Miao in her heart, and she is willing to lose her life for her plan.

She stayed in the palace to be an eyeliner, and at the right opportunity to get the emperor's favor, and even after Su Lixiao found the relics left by the queen, she did not hesitate to kill people and set fires.

She did everything she could for An Miao, but An Miao seemed to ......

I've been using her all the time.

Looking at the satisfied and happy smile on Wei Shufei's lips, Xi sighed silently, stretched out his little hand and snapped his fingers again, only to see Wei Shufei's expression stunned, and immediately tilted her head and fell asleep.

"All the plans have been laid out since more than ten years ago, and An Miao has a big plan, and I'm afraid it's not just to create chaos in Beijing."

What does she want to do? Overthrow the kingdom and become the empress yourself?

The two looked at each other speechlessly, and at this moment, Yun Zhan pinched a letter and ran over like a dog.

"Your Highness, the border is urgent!"
