When King Changde stood in the room, the small room seemed a bit crowded with six people sitting there.
The guard was left outside by him in the end because the room was too small.
King Changde, the opposite-sex king of Dazhao, a being who is inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people.
King Chang De has a majestic body and a dignified appearance. On his upright face, his two eyes are as bright as stars, showing a firm and steady look, and his whole body is filled with mighty and majestic aura.
He was wearing a splendid attire with an extraordinary bearing. The dark blue robe had dark golden patterns on the sleeves, making him look extremely noble.
Several people looked at me and then at you. Even Cheng Suisui, who had always been fearless, felt the pressure from the royal family.
No matter how powerful they are, they are just ordinary people, just ordinary people. They are nothing in the eyes of these princes and nobles.
Finally, it was Shen Xuan who said, "Shen Xuan, a common man, has met King Changde."
After he finished speaking, several others followed him and bowed. King Changde nodded and said, "No need to be too polite."
From the moment he walked in, his eyes were fixed on Xu Xu in Lan Zhao's arms. He hesitated and asked, "Is it him?"
"Yes, Your Majesty," Lan Zhao said. @
Even though King Changde didn't mention him by name, she knew what he was talking about.
King Changde's lips trembled a little. He walked closer to Lan Zhao and looked at such a tiny child who had lost his mother at birth. He wanted to touch him but was afraid of hurting him.
Xu Xu seemed to be aware of his hot gaze and unfamiliar breath, and burst into tears. He closed his eyes and cried, and grabbed Lan Zhao's clothes with his fingers.
"Your Majesty, do you want to hug Xu Xu?" Lan Zhao asked.
"Xu Xu? Is that his name?" King Changde read his name twice, and even his eyebrows looked much softer.
King Chang De thought for a while and said: "Forget it, my actions are too rude. I can see that the girl treats him well. Please hold him, please."
King Changde sat next to Lan Zhao, and the others squeezed in and sat down.
"Where were you talking about just now?" King Changde asked, thinking that he had already seen Banmei's body.
Mi You had met King Chang De, and he said, "I just mentioned when and how Banmei died, and whose child it is."
"Then let me, the king, tell you."
...
After Mi You found the body under the bed board, the two men were even more panicked than him. King Chang De sent two people to protect Girl Banmei, but they didn't find Girl Banmei's body hidden in the house.
The two of them were dejected and didn't know what to do, so they could only take out a whistle from their arms and blow it.
Not long after, another man appeared. This man dressed as a guard seemed to be of a higher rank than these two. The two young men were respectful in front of him.
The young man with single eyelids looked back at Mi You and told the man at the guard what had happened. The man at the guard walked towards Mi You and cupped his hands.
"I am King Changde's secret guard. I don't know what I call you, brother."
"Look for the right."
"Thank you, brother Miyou. I need to go back and inform the king immediately about this matter. I also need brother Miyou's help. Is it convenient for brother Miyou to wait here for a while?"
"good."
After waiting for about an hour, King Changde hurriedly came out of the palace with a few guards and secret guards.
He may have secretly alerted others, but when he heard the secret guard come back to report that the Banmei girl who had not been found had been found, he could no longer sit still.
Although it is said that if you want to see a person alive or dead, you must see a corpse, but the moment he saw Banmei's cold corpse, King Chang De's eyes turned dark.
He half-knelt in front of the bed, looked at Banmei's peaceful face, and called her name.
"Meier, I've been looking for you..."
Banmei was the first woman in his life, and it was Banmei who filled his expectations for love. Her voice, appearance, and smile seemed to be right in front of him, and he could picture her appearance with his eyes closed.
He never thought that the farewell a few days ago would be the last time they saw each other.
From then on, heaven and man were separated forever.
"How come it smells so good?" The closer King Changde got to Banmei, the stronger the fragrance he smelled. .
Miyou said: "To cover up the smell of the rotting corpse, someone used a lot of incense."
Only then did King Chang De notice the young man. Hearing from the secret guard that he had found the body, he never expected that the person they had been looking for for so long but could not find was actually right in front of them.
King Changde asked the guards to bring out the half plum blossoms and said to Miyou, "You are very good. You have helped me find my beloved concubine, and you will be rewarded."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Miyou said in a neither humble nor arrogant tone, "But I am not coming here for rewards."
"Oh? Why did you come late at night?"
"My Saint felt that Banmei was acting suspiciously and suspected that he was not the person she was, so she asked me to come back and investigate again."
King Changde asked: "Saint? What kind of saint?"
Miyou said: "Saint of the Devil's Cult."
"It's the martial arts sect again."
Hearing this, King Chang De couldn't help but sigh. He had heard more news related to Jianghu sects in the past year than in the previous thirty years combined.
"Again? Has the king met other sects before?" Mi You asked keenly. .ν.
"This king met the disciples of Lingxiao Villa." King Changde said in a faint tone.
...
"Lingxiao Villa? Is it really Lingxiao Villa?!" Cheng Suisui screamed again, it was really disgusting!
"Is it Xu Pei?" Shen Xuan asked.
"Have you really heard of his name?" King Changde was surprised that this young man named Shen Xuan guessed it right away.
He said: "I met this person more than a year ago. He helped me treat illnesses and bought and sold some women in the city. At first, I thought it was a trivial matter and allowed it until he killed a minister's daughter. , I had no choice but to leave here, but I didn’t expect to come back recently.”
Did Xu Pei start laying the groundwork a year ago? How could he predict what would happen a year later? This would be too terrible.
"It should be just an accident. No one can predict it, not even my master." Shen Xuan said in a deep voice, comforting the group of people who were thinking wildly.
Miyou said: "The king told me that people from Lingxiao Villa killed Banmei and replaced Banmei's identity. I told the king that Banmei was with us, so he delayed his return."
Miyou wants to bring the news about Lingxiao Villa to Ruan Xianbei, and King Changde also wants to follow him to find the whereabouts of Banmei and the child.
"I wanted to bring her back since you took her away, but that night my people were threatened by the fake Banmei with the safety of my child."
"Your people? Dali Sect and those triangle cat killers?" Fu Cheng, who had been listening quietly, spoke up.
King Changde shook his head and said: "That's not true, they are my stepmother's people. The people I sent originally wanted to take Banmei and the child away alone while you were fighting fiercely, but the fake Banmei was very powerful and was immediately taken away. She found out, and she threatened them with the safety of her children and Xu Xu, so my people had no choice but to retreat."
"It was also that day that I confirmed that the half-plum blossoms were no longer half-plum blossoms." King Changde's tone was also a little lower.
It was just that King Chang De did not show up rashly after following Mi You to catch up with them, in case Ban Mei found out and killed their children.
He could only ask Mi You to inquire about the situation first, and if there was a chance, he could steal the child and bring it to him.
"Be sure not to hurt the child."
Because King Changde's instructions made Mi You trust him a little more.
"Why are you also looking for Banmei, Your Majesty?" Cheng Suisui asked.
"Later, I secretly visited Banmei. Just a few days before she gave birth, we met...
I originally wanted to stay with her to give birth, and I have found a stable mother for her. However, there is something going on in the palace, and it may be more dangerous for her if I don't go back, so I left. "
"If I had known that those beasts would attack Banmei when she was at her weakest after giving birth - I would have brought her back to the palace no matter what."
"Is it taken away instead of you staying?" Lan Zhao said, "Does Miss Banmei dislike the palace..."
"I also gave her a bite when I knew she had escaped from home. Correct update@
Angry, at that time, I was being watched by my stepmother. I couldn't go out myself, and there were very few people at my disposal. By the time I heard from her again, she had already sneaked away to Helena Town. "King Chang De's eyes became distant, as if he was looking at his great mother through Xu Xu.
"She is like a happy little bird, with an indomitable and strong heart, always yearning for freedom and the blue sky. This is what I like most about her. Later I said I could take her into the palace, but she said she didn't want to go into the palace as long as she As long as her family doesn't bother her, I'll just let her go..."
The two actually met in Helena Town!
Everything seemed to make sense. She was a pregnant young girl and it was really difficult to live alone outside.
It turns out that Banmei's stable life is also because King Changde has been secretly taking care of her.
That's why King Chang De realized something was wrong so quickly after the half plum was replaced by the fake half plum.
"I was the one who harmed her... If she hadn't met me, even if her life wouldn't have been so easy, at least she would still be alive..."
King Changde's tone was full of regret and helplessness. He even changed his name. He looked at Xu Xu lovingly: "Fortunately, the child is fine. This is the only comfort."
"Your Majesty, do you want to take Xu Xu back?"
"Yes, this is what I think."
Lan Zhao suddenly said: "A civilian girl feels it's inappropriate."
King Changde frowned and asked, "Why is it inappropriate?"
Could this woman also want to threaten him with her child? If so, these Jianghu people would still be dead.
"There is a saying among our people that a child with a mother is like a treasure, and a child without a mother is like a grass. The daughter of the common people heard that the queen and the concubine gave birth at the same time, and there were no other women in the king's harem. Xu Xu's identity is really embarrassing. I'm afraid No one will truly love him.@*~~"
Lan Zhao's words seemed to allude to King Changde's powerlessness. After hearing this, King Changde was furious: "This is unreasonable! I can't even protect my own child?!"
Cheng Suisui stretched out his hand and pulled Lan Zhao's sleeve to tell her to stop talking, but Lan Zhao faced King Changde's anger without fear.
"The king knows that the daughter of the people does not mean this. The king is busy with official duties and has many things to do. He has no time to keep an eye on the affairs of the harem. However, a child can die at any time if he is a little negligent. What do the queen and the noble concubine think of this child? They will Do you regard Xu Xu as your biological child? Or do you regard Xu Xu as your child’s competitor?”
What Lan Zhao said was something that King Changde had always avoided talking about. There was always blood and conspiracy in the palace, and King Changde knew that what she said was true.
"Then what do you think we should do? Do you want me to disown this child?"
