"So, why did King Zhao and I turn against each other?" Xiao Lin asked again.
After asking the question, without waiting for Mrs. Xie to answer, she answered it herself, "I remember very clearly that one year at a palace banquet, King Zhao did something, and all the ministers praised him. His father also praised him a lot, and also talked about his temperament. The most like him! That day, King Zhao stole the show! Within a few days, the Taifu was pulled down by him! I was forced to fight back. From that day on, the two brothers who could joke around became enemies. Same!"
"This is just like Xiao Douya said..." Li Rufeng said in a low voice, "The conflict between His Highness and King Zhao was actually provoked by His Majesty?"
"Now that I think about it, it's true!" Xiao Lin grinned, "However, if Su Li hadn't told me, I would never have thought of this! Since I was eleven or twelve years old, I have followed him in the north and south, and my father and son have gone into battle. Soldier, how many hardships and dangers did our father and son soldiers go through when we joined forces to fight the enemy? We finally won the imperial power. I believe in him as much as I believe in myself! I have never doubted him, never! But...but... "
At the end of his speech, his voice choked up and he closed his eyes in pain.
Mrs. Xie was heartbroken when she heard this: "If it is as you said, then is it possible that the Changlin Army of our Xie family is also because of..."
Halfway through her words, she suddenly fell silent!
this is too scary!
She didn't even dare to say it!
Xiao Lin opened his eyes and said solemnly: "In the battle at Yanshan, my grandfather and uncles are sure of victory. Dayu is definitely not their opponent! This is not the first day they have fought against the Dayu army! There has never been a time when the opponent did not lose his helmet. Abandoned armor? How could they be defeated by the Great Chongqing Army? When I was enclosing the bones, I tried to examine the corpses of the fallen soldiers, but they were all burned! Both Xiao Bing and Dayu Bing were burned It’s so burnt that you can’t see anything!”
"Who burned it?" Mrs. Xie asked.
"Qi Zheng said it was fire from the sky!" Xiao Lin replied, "After the war, there was a thunderbolt in the clear sky, and lightning caused a fire, which burned the entire Yanshan Mountain to the ground, including, of course, the corpses and all traces at the scene of the defeat!"
"Ah..." Cheng Ying suddenly exclaimed, "The Changfeng Army was defeated before, and I heard that they were also hit by sky fire..."
Xiao Lin trembled suddenly: "Is this serious?"
"I heard Zhang Yan's lieutenant say this before!" Cheng Ying replied, "At that time, my subordinates laughed at them and said that they had been punished by God! This made them angry and they fought with me!"
"If that's the case, wouldn't it be..." Mrs. Xie's figure shook slightly and she almost fell down.
Li Rufeng quickly supported her with quick eyes and hands.
"They took care of everything so cleanly that there was no trace of the corpse, but unfortunately, I found Zhang Yan's dagger in my grandfather's tent!" Xiao Lin grinned miserably, "I thought it was a little strange at the time, but I can’t explain why it’s strange, but now after listening to Su Li’s words, I understand! These evidences are too deliberate! No wonder no matter how I tried, Zhang Yan said it wasn’t them!"
"He also suspected Qi Zheng!" Li Rufeng said, "It seems that they may have been suspicious before us!"
"In order to take back the military power, he let Qi Zheng kill 30,000 Changlin troops in vain?" Mrs. Xie's face turned pale. "If this is true, he is simply crazy! Why would he do this? You and your father have supported each other for so many years. , how many swords and arrows have you blocked for him? In order to save him, you almost risked your own life! You and he defeated this country together!"
"Maybe, just because I conquered this country with him, that's why he treats me like this!" Xiao Lin smiled miserably, "He wants to hold the supreme position for a long time, and I, the prince, But I am always reminding him that sooner or later he will give way to me! Besides..."
He paused and continued: "Just like Su Li said, the woman he really likes is not the Queen Mother! Although I don't know if he likes Concubine Shu, I can see that he doesn't have much feelings for the Queen Mother. !”
"What? Didn't he treat your mother badly?" Mrs. Xie was shocked again, "But I remember that he was quite considerate and considerate when he was young..."
"Ha..." Xiao Lin smiled bitterly, "I didn't understand when I was young before, but now I can see whether a man really loves and values a woman!"
Mrs. Xie's whole body felt cold as she listened: "So, is Su Li really sure? Is he going to leave his empire to the son of his beloved woman? Is his beloved woman really that concubine Shu?"
"Your Highness, I will kill Xiao Jue now!" Li Rufeng stood up in a hurry, "Let his wish be completely frustrated!"
Xiao Lin shook his head: "If Xiao Jue is really his beloved son, not only will you not be able to kill him, but you will also be exposed!"
"Then what should we do?" Li Rufeng asked anxiously, "Is it possible to just let them be like this?"
"For now, we are just speculating..." Xiao Lin said hoarsely, "Since it is just speculation, there is no need to hurt anyone! Let's try to prove it first! By the way, what is my imperial brother doing recently?"
Li Rufeng shook his head: "I didn't pay much attention to him, so I never found out about him!"
"Go and check!" Xiao Lin ordered, "After you find out everything, report it to me. I'll put on a show to see if my father loves me more or him!"
"Yes!" Li Rufeng took the order and left.
"If it's as Su Li said, how will you treat it?" Mrs. Xie looked at Xiao Lin, her eyes full of worry.
Xiao Lin's lips trembled slightly and did not answer for a long time.
After a while, he said: "Grandma, let Su Li come in!"
Mrs. Xie nodded and walked out with heavy steps.
Su Li was waiting outside. When she heard Xiao Lin calling her, she walked in quietly.
Xiao Lin sat there with his back to her, not knowing what he was doing.
"Your Highness!" Su Li walked to the edge of his bed.
Xiao Lin looked up at her.
The moment their eyes met, her nose felt sour and she almost shed tears!
Xiao Lin's eyes were slightly red and swollen, and he could tell that he had cried!
Seeing him sad, she suddenly felt sad!
"What's wrong?" Xiao Lin raised his eyebrows.
"No...it's nothing!" Su Li twisted his head and tried to suppress the tears in his eyes.
Xiao Lin frowned: "Grandma told you?"
"No!" Su Li shook his head vigorously, "The old lady treats me very kindly!"
"Then Gu didn't harm you!" Xiao Lin frowned even more tightly, "Although you are bold and said shocking things, I don't blame you, and I want to thank you for your words of warning, so you don't have to be afraid! Although Gu is nothing He has a good temper, but he is definitely not a cruel and murderous person!"
Su Li burst into tears and laughed, "Where are you thinking, Your Highness? If a civilian girl thinks that His Highness is that kind of person, she will never stand in front of His Highness! She will not have the guts to tell everything that a civilian girl knows!"
"Then why are you crying?" Xiao Lin was confused.
