After finishing speaking, I saw that the palace maid didn't have time to hear it completely, so she just ran away. Xu Qing shouted at her that she couldn't stop, and said in her heart: "I won't eat you again, do you need to be afraid of being like this?"

Thinking of this, he thought about it carefully. He is just a newcomer to this place, and he is an assassin who broke into the palace, and the saint has already been regarded as a great favor for not crushing his bones and scattering ashes. The palace maid trembled and avoided herself, but it was common sense.

Xu Qing speculated again: "The saint did not punish him that day, it was really due to Xiao Song's micro face, or there was another hidden situation." Located in the bustling imperial palace of Jinling, hundreds of assassins broke into this time. As the lord of the beams, seeing this scene, no matter how much affection he has, he naturally can't be angry. Listening to Li'er's meaning, it seems that Emperor Liang didn't say a few words. is just smiling, but he is strict with Xiao Zong, which shows that he has been premeditated. The details of this will not be known until we meet at the meeting. ”

Xu Qing thought like this, and suddenly saw Xiao Zong rushing over. Seeing Xu Qing standing on the stone steps, his face was full of surprise, his steps were faster, and he walked closer and said, "Yo, isn't this a young man who has recovered from the dust." You've finally woken up, and your father treats you like a treasure. Now that you're awake, why don't you go with me to face the saint?"

Xu Qing said: "Your Highness is really worried, why don't you let your guards take me down and send me to the heavenly prison, and ask where to kill me on a certain day?"

Xiao Zong said angrily: "You are less proud! Relying on the fact that you are the prince of the previous dynasty, do you still want to go sideways? My father is just happy for a while, and after this period of time, you have no good fruit to eat." If you know each other, don't be greedy for vanity, and it is better to be cautious when entering the royal gate. Once you step on the wrong door, it is useless to regret it, cry for your father and call for your mother, and complain!"

Xu Qing said with a smile: "Your Highness is really good at joking, Xu Qing is just a reckless in the rivers and lakes, why not His Royal Highness to raise love? ”

Xiao Zong was angry, and he didn't say much, just turned around and walked out. Xu Qing followed behind, and suddenly said to Xiao Zong: "I don't know what the Holy Saint said under His Highness?"

Xiao Zong said: "What do you have to do with what you say? You can't understand what you say, so why bother saying it?"

Xu Qing said with a smile: "Royal affairs, you can't reveal them to me." However, His Highness is straightforward and moody. In front of the saint, you have to restrain yourself a little, and I heard Li'er say that you are an elegant and high-spirited person, so you can't get used to it?

When Xiao Zong heard the word "Li'er", he suddenly became angry and said angrily to him: "Once upon a time, Li'er and I accompanied the palace and talked about each other every day. If it weren't for Li'er's greed for Jiangnan, her playfulness, and her escape from Beijing, how could you be the first to get there? Don't think that if you are valued by your father, His Highness will take you seriously! After all, this palace is His Highness's territory, and if you want to settle in the imperial city, you have to weigh it a little!"

Xu Qing smiled and said, "I don't have what His Highness said. His Royal Highness spoke so impulsively, Xu is grass people are reckless, and I am here to make amends to His Highness. ”

He said it in his mouth, but he didn't bow to it. Xiao Zong's face was full of hatred, and he took a few steps forward. The two walked to the middle palace and walked towards the Zhengyang Palace. The imperial guard in front of the palace intercepted and said, "Your Majesty is reviewing the folds in the imperial study, can Your Highness come back later?"

Xiao Zong said angrily: "Open your eyes and see, this is Xu Qing and Xu Shaoxia! Your Majesty has already instructed that once Xu Shaoxia wakes up, he will immediately bring him over to meet him." Hurry up and report it, Hugh is going to miss the business. ”

Although the imperial guard didn't know who Xu Qing was, he couldn't alarm the holy driver, and he didn't want to report it.

But after thinking about it, if there is indeed something to do, how can the Holy One bear it? Xiao Zong saw that he hesitated slightly, and shouted again: "Why don't you go quickly?

The imperial guard did not hesitate any longer, and rushed into the hall with his farts upside down, turned around and walked up the imperial ladder, and rushed to the imperial study. When he arrived in front of the room, he saw the old eunuch standing at the door, so he reported Xiao Zong's intentions to the old eunuch.

The old eunuch nodded, motioned for him to wait a moment, and then stepped over the threshold and walked into the room. Emperor Liang is waving his pen and inscription, and the folds are piled up at hand, and there are still unfinished folds.

Today's mood is not good, and I don't care anymore. Recently, Kyoto rejected Xiao Zong's phoenix face because of Zhao Li's escape again, and even damaged the royal majesty. The city is full of wind and rain, anyway, Xiao Zong dances and writes all day long, and he has no ambition in his heart. Even if you are instructed by others, except for the damage to the royal façade, everything else is also unhindered.

It's angry that the courtiers are like ants, and they have been participating in the music for several days, and for the county lord's escape, they sent troops to find it. These Liang emperors had already issued an edict, but Zhao Ping was gone forever, causing rumors to spread, saying that Zhao Ping and Zhao Li colluded with each other, intending to join the rivers and lakes, and they would raise troops to kill them in the near future.

made Emperor Liang suspicious, it was Zhao Ping, the king of Bianyang, who disobeyed his orders first, although he went south to find his daughter with the intention of Emperor Liang. But once gone, it was only said that it was difficult to find it on the grounds that the rivers and lakes were large and the sea of people was vast.

But after a long time, rumors have arisen that paper can't contain the fire after all. But it can't be announced to the world that Zhao Ping resisted the will and intended to rebel. Zhao Li is also a royal prince, which is equivalent to slapping the royal family's face.

What's even more terrifying is that Zhao Ping did not obey his will and already had the heart of treason. If you add coercion, it will only backfire. The vast majority of the Serin army in the northern Sellin City has already moved south, and if Zhao Ping is provoked to counterattack, then everything will be over.

Now I have to send An Guohou south to persuade first, and then make a decision. was thinking about it, but when he heard the old eunuch coming, he hung his pen and stopped.

The old eunuch said, "Your Majesty, the imperial guard outside the door has come to report. His Royal Highness Zong summoned a message, saying that Xu Qing Shaoxia had woken up, and asked His Majesty if he had seen it?"

Emperor Liang was a little happy and hurriedly said, "Invite him in." ”

The old eunuch respectfully got his order, withdrew from the room, and said to the imperial guard: "You go and invite Xu Qing Shaoxia quickly." ”

The royal guard got the order, and hurriedly rushed down the stairs and walked towards Zhengyangkou. Seeing that Xiao Zong and Xu Qing were there, he approached and said, "Your Highness, Your Majesty has approved, go with Xu Qing Shaoxia." ”

Xiao Zong squinted his eyes and said, "Look at you, if you insist on rejecting me, won't you be punished by Your Majesty?"

The imperial guard said respectfully: "Yes, yes, thanks to His Highness's reminder, the little one almost made a big mistake." ”

Xiao Zong said: "Take us quickly." ”

The guard bowed and waved his hand to invite the two of them in. Go up the royal stairs and get close to the front of the house. After the old eunuch saw the two of them, he called inside: "Your Majesty, Xu Shaoxia has arrived." ”

Emperor Liang said, "Please let him in." ”

When the old eunuch heard this, he said to Xu Qing: "Xu Shaoxia, please stop." ”

Xu Qing stepped into the room, Xiao Zong also followed, the two walked to the front of the palace, and Emperor Liang glanced at Xu Qing a few times.

Glancing at Xiao Zong again, he suddenly said: "Zong'er, there's nothing to do with you here, you can retreat first." ”

Xiao Zong said: "But. . ..”

Seeing Emperor Liang's cold face, he had no choice but to retreat. Emperor Liang ordered the maid of the folding fan to go out for the time being and close the door tightly.

Don't let anyone disturb you, and the palace maid was ordered to retreat.

Xu Qing suddenly felt bad, but it was okay.

He immediately knelt down and bowed: "Xu Qing, grass people, knock to the saint." ”

Emperor Liang hurriedly walked down, helped Xu Qing up, and said, "Hurry up, how can you still claim to be a commoner today? You are a nobleman, you should have stayed by my side a long time ago." In my early years, people were looking for you, but to no avail. I didn't expect you to come to my side, but it was really a matter of chance. In the absence of the emperor, the prince will be taken care of by me in the future, and you will live in the palace in the future, and I will give you countless glory and wealth. ”

Xu Qing said: "Thank you, Lord Longen, but Xu Qing is just reckless in the rivers and lakes, how can he stand this?"

Emperor Liang said: "Fuchen, do you really don't know?

Xu Qing said: "The grass people naturally know, but they don't want to live in this imperial capital. Since I was a child, I have been away from Kyoto for half a lifetime, and I still hope to return to my homeland, and I ask Your Majesty to forgive me for one or two. ”

Emperor Liang sighed: "You have been lonely since you were a child, and you have been accompanied by farmers in the countryside and villages, and you have tasted all the hardships in the world. Now that you are still in the truth, you must be clear about your identity. And Li'er is also a member of the royal family, wouldn't it be better for you two to tie the knot?"

Xu Qing said: "Your Majesty, Li'er doesn't want to be like this. The only thing she misses is to escape from the rivers and lakes, and never enter Jinling again in this life. ”

Emperor Liang smiled and said, "Fuchen, do you really want to go against me? Do you know what the consequences of disobeying me are?"

Xu Qing said: "Your Majesty, I am not disobeying you, but I am just telling you my wishes. This time we came to Jinling, naturally for your use, otherwise we would not have come. ”

Emperor Liang was overjoyed and said, "That's right! As for what happens in the future, let's discuss it slowly." ”

Xu Qing said: "I don't know what Your Majesty wants me to do for you?"

Emperor Liang said: "Fuchen, I'll ask you first." Have you been in the South all these years since you were kidnapped by the Assassin who called the Leaf Trace?"

Xu Qing thought to himself: "How could the master kidnap him? However, he has a common enmity with himself, so naturally he can't believe him. is also trying to deceive himself, which is ridiculous, and now he must be testing himself. ”

He replied: "Xu Qing was still in infancy back then, and I can't remember anything clearly. Anyway, they have been under the care of the Xu family and his wife all these years, and they have stayed in Jinyang Town for so many years until the Xu family and his wife died tragically. I want to avenge them, so I have to go up the mountain to learn martial arts. ”

Emperor Liang sighed: "Good boy, the Xu family and his wife have raised you for me for so many years, and I haven't rewarded them well. .... Eh. ... But have you found out who was so hateful and killed them?"

Xu Qing said: "This is already an unsolved mystery, and I went up to Yeyun Mountain." To this day, there is no clue. ”

Emperor Liang exclaimed: "I heard that there is a sect on Yeyun Mountain, called the Yeyun faction. The head of the Ye Yun faction is the Ye trace who kidnapped you out of the palace back then. ”

Xu Qing said: "I know all this. Peng Lao told me that Ye Ji rescued me from the palace and handed me over to him. He handed me over to the Xu family and his wife, so that I could not be slaughtered. ”

Emperor Liang said: "What do you mean by this? What did you rescue? Who is Peng Lao you are talking about? Is it Peng Huai? That is the thief who worked for the tiger with Ye Ji back then, you must not be deceived by him!"

Xu Qing said: "Your Majesty is saying. .. I was kidnapped by them? I didn't hear clearly, what happened in the palace back then?"

Emperor Liang said: "Do you know Jianyang Hou Zhao Sheng?"

Xu Qing said: "I heard Li'er mention it, what's wrong?"

Emperor Liang said: "Back then, he and Ye Ji broke into the palace and tried to assassinate the emperor, that is, your father. Fortunately, I arrived in time to lead the troops and surrounded them. Ye Ji broke through the siege and fled, but he took you away and took it away. .. Protector of the country. .. It's hateful. ”

When Xu Qing heard this, his heart suddenly shook. Although this Emperor Liang is pure nonsense, this jade seal did not come out of thin air.

He asked, "Your Majesty, the jade seal was taken away by Ye Ji?"

Emperor Liang said: "He should have stolen it." ”

Xu Qing said: "In this way, the whereabouts of the jade seal are still unknown?"

Emperor Liang nodded. Xu Qing said again: "I remember that when the emperor ascended the throne, he had to open the jade seal to publicize the five lakes in the world, and the people from all over the world came to enjoy it. If the whereabouts of the jade seal are unknown, how did you ascend the throne and become emperor?"

After saying that, I saw that Emperor Liang was slightly angry. Xu Qing immediately felt that he had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly knelt down and said: "The grass people are reckless for a while, and they don't choose what to say, and I ask Your Majesty to punish them." ”

Liang Diwen said: "It's okay, don't blame those who don't know, just get up quickly." ”
