In the Funing Hall of the Imperial Palace, Hua Fengshan is accompanying the emperor to play chess.

Today's emperor's interest seems to be very high, and after leaving him for lunch, he even saved his usual rest, so he pulled him to play chess again.

This time, it was almost an hour, until Zheng Yong came in to report that the prince had entered the palace to meet him.

After hearing the report, Emperor Haoxing Xiaoqi stared at the chessboard for a long time, and Fang shook his head and said: "The situation in this game of chess is stalemate, and it is difficult to see the superiority for a while. Fengshan, you go to the side hall and sit for a while, and after I see Prince Ding, I will share the victory with you. ”

Hua Fengshan hurriedly got up and replied: "Erchen still doesn't disturb his father, so I'll go back to the house and come back to accompany my father another day——"

Who knew that before he finished speaking, Haoxing Xiaoqi frowned dissatisfiedly, "Eh, I have a rare leisure today, and I haven't seen you for many days, so I want to keep you for a while." Don't be in a hurry to leave, go back after dinner!"

Hua Fengshan had no choice but to make a promise and retreat.

Haoxing Xiaoqi said to Zheng Yong at this time: "Let Prince Ding come in." ”

Zheng Yong hurriedly responded and went to pass Prince Ding in.

As soon as Haoxing Mingrui, the fake prince, entered the hall, he knelt down with a "plop", trembling all over, and couldn't say a word for a long time.

When Haoxing Xiaoqi saw his panicked appearance, he immediately frowned unhappily and asked, "Why are you so panicked?"

Haoxing Mingrui turned his head to look around, and saw that there was no one else in the hall except for the emperor and Zheng Yong, so he still said in some shock: "Your Majesty, oh——, Brother Huang, something is wrong!"

Haoxing Xiaoqi was even more displeased when he heard this, and asked in a deep voice: "What happened to scare you like this?!"

"I ...... One of the guards in Prince Ding's palace was killed! and—"

Trembling, Haoxing Mingrui felt something out of his arms and presented it forward with both hands, "And this letter!"

Zheng Yong hurriedly stepped forward, took the letter, and forwarded it to the emperor.

Haoxing Xiaoqi frowned and unfolded the letter casually, and when he saw it, his face suddenly changed color!

After a long time, he looked away from the letter and pondered for a moment before asking, "Where did you get this?"

Haoxing Mingrui couldn't help but shudder with palpitations, and said, "In ...... In the chamber of his brother. There is also a ...... next to it Inserted a bloody dagger......"

After swallowing a mouthful of saliva, he explained further in a slightly calmer voice.

After lunch, the younger brother went back to the dormitory and rested for a while. When I woke up, I found a bloody dagger next to my pillow, and this letter was next to it. Thinking that this letter was addressed to me, the minister hurriedly opened it and read it, and the result was ...... I didn't expect ...... It's actually a ...... for your royal brother."

Haoxing Xiaoqi's face was gloomy, and his eyes were once again staring at the short lines of words on the letterhead-

Haoxing Xiaoqi, the hatred of the prisoners in the temple for ten years, the hatred of Xiao Yu, who killed my disciple, I will definitely get it all back!

Looking at those tough and strong fonts, Haoxing Xiaoqi suddenly felt in a trance, only to feel that they had turned into pieces of cold knife wind, rushing towards him-

Haoxing Xiaoyu! These are indeed the handwriting of his seventh emperor brother Haoxing Xiaoyu!

It has been almost two years since he escaped from Jishi Temple.

I thought he would disappear forever in order to survive the rest of his life.

Unexpectedly, he was still a thief, and he dared to use such a rebellious way to openly challenge his own wealthy emperor, His Majesty!

Since ancient times, for the sake of the supreme and majestic imperial power, father and son have still fought and killed each other, let alone brothers!

Since he Haoxing Xiaoyu is unwilling to live in peace, then he will blame himself for being a ruthless brother and send him to the ground to see the emperor!

Haoxing Xiaoqi tore the letter paper in his hand to shreds and threw it to the ground.

Then he asked in a deep voice, "What about the slain guard?"

Haoxing Mingrui couldn't help but shudder when he heard this, and his eyes showed a look of fear, and he said in a trembling voice: "The guard...... and died outside the chamber of his brother's chamber, and was ...... Cut throat ......"

Zheng Yong, who was on the side, heard this, and immediately had a sudden shock in his heart, and vaguely guessed the identity of the killed guard. That person is likely to be the inner secret agent who was sent to Prince Ding's mansion to monitor this fake prince.

Zheng Yong was standing next to the emperor, and a pair of thief eyes had clearly seen the contents of the letter, and while he was shocked, he couldn't help but have a trace of suspicion.

Although Haoxing Xiaoyu escaped from Jishi Temple, he has long been abolished from his martial arts. Moreover, his only apprentice, Xiao Yu, also died. With his current strength, he is not qualified to talk about revenge at all.

So why did he come here at such a time to declare war on the emperor in such a way? There is really a great strange reason in this.

Could it be that he wanted to use this to attract the emperor's attention in order to cover some people to get out?

And these "certain people" are probably the people that the emperor is about to deal with at this moment - Leng Yiqing, Hua Fengshan, and of course, that cold ice!

It's just that although this true prince is proficient in the art of war and tactics, he is too bad at intrigue and trickery. With this little bit of his mind, he can't even deceive himself, who is a slave, how can he escape the emperor's eyes?

The end result of this move is self-defeating.

In this way, it gave the emperor a more defensible reason to declare the whole thing as a conspiracy of the Yin people to support the prince and seize power and usurp the throne. And all the people involved in it can't escape the scourge of exterminating the clan and raiding the family!

Sure enough, Zheng Yong deserves to be the one who knows the emperor's mind best.

At this moment, Haoxing Xiaoqi's heart was indeed turning the same thought as him.

Just because this letter came too coincidentally, just in time for his majesty the emperor to foil a conspiracy of the hermits to usurp the country, it was inevitable that he would not be suspicious of it.

Hmph, Haoxing Xiaoyu made such a big move, and in the end it was just killing a small guard.

This is enough to prove that when he found that his hidden accomplice could no longer help him, this wasted man messed up the rules, so he did this stupid act of trying to cover up!

Since the opponent has already messed up with himself, he should seize this opportunity to use the fake prince Li Jin in front of him to lay a trap and wipe out Prince Ding and his accomplices!

Thinking of this, Haoxing Xiaoqi couldn't help but laugh gloomily, as if he had seen his Seventh Emperor Brother in a hurry, with nowhere to escape, and finally died with hatred.

In addition to being proud, he just thought of appeasing the frightened fake prince Li Jin first, but before the words came out, another internal supervisor came to report, and Zhu Mo, the commander of the guards, was waiting outside the palace gate.

When Haoxing Xiaoqi heard this, he couldn't help but be secretly happy in his heart, Zhu Mo rushed back at this time, he must have seen Han Bing, and forced him to drink poisonous wine!

He was really anxious to know if that cold ice was dead at the moment, and he didn't have the heart to pay attention to this fake prince anymore. But he thought about it again, and the matter of Prince Ding could not be neglected, and it still had to be considered in the long run.

So, he waved his hand to Haoxing Mingrui and said, "The matter of Prince Ding will be discussed later, so you can go outside and wait first." ”

Haoxing Mingrui hurriedly bowed and retreated.
