Seeing him like that, Xuan Xiaosan felt a little helpless, "Xiaosi, didn't you have enough to eat tonight?" You ate so much and didn't stop, are you hungry again?
"I was full then, but now I'm hungry. Third Senior Brother, it's not like you don't know me. I won't be able to sleep with an empty stomach. Let's eat some together. I made a lot of it?"
I wonder if Xuan Xiaosi also noticed his loss and wanted to spend more time with him to comfort him in disguise.
"Forget it, I'll try this fruit wine too."
"Okay, this fruit wine is fragrant and sweet, just like juice. It tastes great..."
The night is quiet, but the human heart cannot be peaceful...
Daqing, Zhenguo General's Mansion.
"General, when will the old King Jingnan arrive?" Emperor Wu has been waiting at the Zhenguo General's Mansion for an hour, but the person waiting has never arrived.
"It should be soon. Would you like another cup of tea, Your Majesty?" Su Huan actually didn't know. The old King Jingnan only asked people to come over and send a message saying that he would come tonight, but he didn't say the specific time.
"Don't drink anymore, just wait." His stomach was filled with tea and he was very bloated. Emperor Wu looked at Su Yu, "Yu'er, is your injury healed?"
"Back to the emperor, these are minor injuries and have healed." Su Yu bowed and replied.
"That's good. You did a good job on this mission. But now is not the time to ask for credit. Let's wait until everything comes to an end before we can reward you based on your merits." Emperor Wu had always been very kind to the Su family.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. This is what a subordinate should do."
Before he finished speaking, the door opened, and the old Jingnan Wang Xiao Yuntian walked in, his face covered with frost but full of energy. Behind him was a man wearing a golden mask, who was Xiao Nan, the leader of the Dragon Guard.
Emperor Wu and General Zhenguo both stood up and greeted each other, "Old Prince!" "Old Prince!"
Xiao Yuntian took the lead in saluting Emperor Wu, "Old minister, I see you, Your Majesty."
Before he bowed down, he was helped up by Emperor Wu, "You don't have to be like this, old prince. I'm very grateful that you can come to see me."
"Take a seat first. I see where did the prince come from? Have a cup of tea to moisten your throat." Su Huan spoke immediately, then looked at Su Yu, "Yu'er, pour some tea."
"Yes, grandfather." Su Yu first saluted the old King Jingnan, and then poured him a cup of tea respectfully. Then he saw the person behind him. It was his first time meeting him and he didn't know his identity, but he still gave him a junior salute and poured him a cup of tea.
Emperor Wu looked at Xiao Nan with an unkind look, "How come the leader of the Dragon Guard has time to come over? Is he thinking about how to reply to me?"
"Ha! Your Majesty has many eyes and ears. If you want to know, of course your subordinates will investigate it for you. Why do you need to ask me?" Xiao Nan looked disdainful.
"You! How presumptuous! Don't forget that you were a prisoner last time. If I hadn't released you, would you still be tortured in the water prison now?" Emperor Wu's beard stood up in anger.
"Then I'm really grateful to the Emperor for not killing him."
"you······"
"Okay, Anan." Xiao Yuntian put down his cup, "As an elder, you have the nerve to argue with a junior?"
"Ha!" Xiao Nan chuckled, but he did not admit that he was his elder.
Emperor Wu was stunned for a moment after hearing what the old King Jingnan said, but he did not ask. Su Huan had already made a guess, but he was not sure what the identity of this person was.
"Your Majesty, please step aside. We are going to have a serious talk today." Although Xiao Yuntian is old, his momentum is not diminished.
Emperor Wu glanced at Zhang Fu and An Yi behind him. They bowed slightly and then left. At this time, only Emperor Wu, the old King Jingnan, General Zhenguo, the leader of the Dragon Guard and Su Yue were left in the house.
"Young boy Yu, please go out too and guard me outside the door." The old King Jingnan arranged unceremoniously. After all, he was very familiar with the people in the Zhenguo General's Mansion, and he also looked at the few people in Su Yu. big.
"Yes." Su Yu left immediately without hesitation. He had no other thoughts, he only knew that if it was something that even he couldn't know about, it must be very serious.
The room was quiet for a moment, "Anan, take off the mask." Old King Jingnan said.
Xiao Nan sighed, but still did not refuse. He slowly took off the golden mask, revealing a familiar face.
Emperor Wu and Su Huan stood up instantly, "Father...Father?"
Su Huan was also shocked and looked at the person in front of him in disbelief.
Emperor Wu's eyes turned red, "No... you're not," and then his eyes changed, and he was extremely sharp, "Who are you?"
"Your Majesty, there is no need to be nervous. The old minister is here today just to clear up the Emperor's doubts. Sit down first, and the old minister will tell the Emperor a story."
Emperor Wu calmed down and sat down, but his eyes remained on Xiao Nan's face.
Xiao Nan was a little embarrassed and drank tea alone.
Xiao Yuntian told them about the relationship between the late emperor and Xiao Nan's twin brothers, and how Xiao Nan gradually rose to the position of leader of the Dragon Guard. A simple description allowed the emperor to understand the most important thing: the leader of the Dragon Guard was his imperial uncle.
The emperor was a little in disbelief, because he had never heard his father and mother say that. He looked at Xiao Nan, "Then... can the leader tell me now why my father sent the Dragon Guard to the throne?" Give it to your mother, not to me?" This was a hurdle in the emperor's heart that he could never overcome.
"I'm not lying to you that day in the water prison, but I really didn't know. Back then, the late emperor asked me to go to Northern Xinjiang to investigate some things. When I came back, the late emperor had already left. Before I left, the late emperor's body was obviously There was no problem, how could he just leave like this? I didn't believe it, so I kept investigating secretly. As a result, the Queen Mother found me, took out the Black Dragon Order, and told me that the late emperor had left the Dragon Guard to her, and asked me to listen to it from now on. Of course I didn't believe it, but I didn't resist her head-on, because I suspected that there was another reason for the late emperor's death." Xiao Nan had a bitter look on his face. He had been dealing with the Queen Mother these years, and he was obedient on the surface, but in fact We have been secretly searching for the cause of the late emperor's death, but there is no definite result yet.
"You said that someone harmed my father when he died?" The emperor's face was full of disbelief. He looked at the old King Jingnan, "How is it possible? The old King Jingnan was also present at that time, and my father also passed the throne. The imperial edict is entrusted to you..."
Xiao Yuntian nodded, "When I arrived that day, the late emperor was indeed exhausted. He only had time to give me the edict of passing the throne, and... oh, please, for his sake, please let me go." After the Queen Mother."
The emperor's expression was subtle. He knew his father's feelings for his mother, but he didn't expect that at the last moment when he passed away, he was still thinking about how to protect his mother. It was really...
"But at that time, I had doubts about the late emperor's health. After all, he had always been in good health before, why suddenly... I also asked him, but he didn't say anything. I was because of his words at that time He was very angry, so he took the edict and left. As soon as he left the house, the eunuch said... that he died." Xiao Yuntian looked full of regret.
