"Daddy."

It wasn't until the two little ones completely left General Xiao's courtyard that Xiao Yichen said in a low voice, "Xiao Jiu's identity, did you know it when you brought him back then?" ”

Xiao Hanyue was also shocked by Xiao Jingmo's face after growing up, and looked at his father with gray temples with concern in his eyes.

Xiao Gang stood in the bright sunlight, but the gloom in his face had not diminished, and there was a sorrow between his brows that was difficult to dissolve.

Eventually, he nodded under the worried gazes of his two sons.

"Daddy! What if outsiders knew Xiao Jiu's identity! ”

Seeing his father's admission, Xiao Yichen's voice couldn't help but increase a little, and he said in a questioning and frightened tone, "His current appearance is seven or eight percent similar to that one, if someone really sees the clues, maybe he will cause some big trouble!" ”

"Over the years, our Xiao family has been a little easier under the protection of Qingtian, and Jingzhong's attitude towards us and the Xiao family army has also improved a lot, if Xiao Jiu's identity is really discovered, all the Xiao family's sins will be exterminated!"

In the face of Xiao Yichen's excited and worried words, General Xiao opened his mouth for a long time, and finally didn't spit out a word.

He didn't know and couldn't tell his son that all of this might be providential.

"Old Five, don't be impatient!"

Xiao Hanyue reprimanded Xiao Yichen loudly, as the eldest son in the family, he has been by his father's side since he was a child, and he knows his loyal and brave old father very well.

It is impossible for my father to bring Xiao Jiu back for no reason, it must have been carefully considered.

After thinking about it, Xiao Hanyue asked softly, "Dad, what about Xiao Jiu...... Does that know that? ”

At this time, General Xiao was also thinking back to Xiao Jingmo's figure and the handsome face just now over and over again.

Indeed, just by virtue of this face, many of the past have automatically opened the dust and reappeared in front of the world.

"Come with me into the study."

Old Man Xiao knew that this matter could not be hidden, so it was better to explain it to his family first, even if it was for Qingtian, he should not take risks again.

The two glanced at each other and followed Old Man Xiao into the study.

As soon as he closed the door, Xiao Yichen couldn't help but ask, "Dad, what happened back then?" ”

At the time of that incident, Xiao Yichen was leading his cavalry to fight against the raiding army of Snow Country, and it was more than a month after he received the news.

"Since Xiao Jiu has become my Xiao family, I naturally won't abandon him, all the decisions you make will support you as a son to the end, but ......"

Xiao Yichen slowly took a breath to calm down his emotions, he knew that he was a little out of control today, but he still couldn't help but continue, "Such a big thing, you can't hide it from the whole family!" ”

After all, once the incident happens, the whole family will be wiped out!

Old General Xiao sat in the main seat of the study, and his eyes fell on the word on the table that he had practiced this morning.

Heaven and earth can only distinguish between the turbidity

But how can I be confused and steal Yan Yuan

The daylight through the pane fell on the word "discernment", as if God was talking to this group of mortals, but it didn't seem to be ......

"Back then, you knew about Concubine Ning's affairs......

With the vicissitudes of life and a hoarse voice, General Xiao said while recalling, "At that time, Concubine Ning Guifei was Your Majesty's most favored concubine, and after she gave birth to her first dragon son, Your Majesty immediately summoned the national teacher to approve her life. ”

"Unfortunately, that was an extremely unkind criticism."

"The national teacher asserts that the Nine Emperor Sons are the lone stars of the heavens, and since birth, they have been their fathers and brothers, and as long as they are close to them, they will be killed."

"Whew!"

When Xiao Yichen heard this, he spat directly regardless of the image of the noble son, "What kind of country-breaking teacher, look at everyone is the Heavenly Evil Lone Star and the Heavenly Evil Star, and I don't know why the emperor believes in him so much!" ”

Xiao Hanyue also didn't like what the national teacher said, and looked at General Xiao with a frowning brow and said, "I remember that Ning Guifei hanged herself at that time?" ”

Faced with his eldest son's question, General Xiao did not speak.

"Could it be that there is another secret to her death?!"

"Indeed, this matter is more complicated than what you have seen and heard."

Putting away the rice paper, General Xiao got up and paced to the window.

"The national teacher also has a word, he said to His Majesty that the Nine Emperor Princes and Ning Guifei complement each other, Ning Guifei is the only place where the Nine Emperor Princes are not killed but can be added to their fortune, and the Ning family also has the air of an emperor because of the birth of the Nine Emperor Princes."

"That's nonsense! The Ning family is loyal and good, how can they rebel and usurp the throne?! ”

The words of the national teacher were too obvious, which made Xiao Yichen, who couldn't hold his breath, scold again, he thought of the tragic situation of the Ning family back then, and his face turned a little pale with clenched fists.

Looking up at his father's majestic back, Xiao Yichen asked in disbelief, "Could it be that the Ning family was wiped out because of this sentence back then?!" ”

Old General Xiao just stood there, speechless.

As sons, the two instantly understood that their guess was right.

In the room, the three of them were silent for a long time.

Xiao Hanyue and Xiao Yichen didn't expect that the tragic death of the Ning family's family back then was just for two criticisms, and General Xiao couldn't help but feel grief when he mentioned the past.

"The one hundred and sixty-three loyal martyrs of the Ning family died under two unjustified words."

Xiao Hanyue sighed.

"In fact, Concubine Ning chose to hang herself that day, and promised that the Ning family would resign to save the lives of the clan."

"It's a pity that she forgot the royal ruthlessness, less than three days after her death, the Ning family was wiped out, and the newborn Nine Emperor Princes were supposed to be secretly executed, and one person came forward to spare his life."

Hearing this, Xiao Hanyue and Xiao Yichen looked at General Xiao together, who else could be so effective if there was an emperor.

"It's a national teacher."

Old General Xiao turned to look at his two sons, "Although I still haven't figured out why he wanted to hold the life of the Nine Emperor Princes, it was indeed he who left the life of this calamity star at that time. ”

Xiao Hanyue and Xiao Yichen were also full of surprise, and General Xiao continued, "Although Xiao Jiu survived, he only lived like an ant, if it weren't for the queen's kindness to answer from time to time, I'm afraid this child would have died a long time ago." ”

When it comes to the queen, Xiao Hanyue can also guess the events of the year.

The only one who can make his father take the Nine Emperor Sons out of the imperial city to Fengcheng at any cost is the queen who has a childhood friendship with her father.

"You don't have to worry about me taking Xiao Jiu away." Old Man Xiao said, "Xiao Jiu left the imperial city, although it was arranged by the queen, but it was also acquiesced by the emperor, which is the main reason why the Xiao family's military power was not deprived. ”

"In this way, the emperor still has feelings for the Nine Emperors." Xiao Hanyue muttered, "After all, the emperor has deep feelings for Concubine Ning. ”
