Gao Zongxian nodded, but his brows still did not relax:
Since his parents have been in exile since he was a child, there will naturally be no meritorious relatives to help him get through.
The problem can only lie with that old Confucian.
"Let's see if I can't find you yet!"
Gao Zongxian turned the page back confidently. The innocence of the palace people's identities was very important to the royal family, so even the relevant relatives of the other party would be recorded.
And Xiao Xian has no parents, so the palace must have checked the identity of this old scholar!
But Gao Zongxian was still disappointed. Although the file seemed thick, it contained nothing about the old Confucian!
I don’t even know what the other person’s name is!
At this moment, no matter how stupid Gao Zongxian is, he can see that there must be something wrong here!
If there is no problem, why is there no record of the old Confucian who raised Xiao Xian? Instead, he writes about trivial matters that are not important!
If there is no problem, why do you still want to cover your ears?
Combined with Xiao Xian's character who was not even afraid of himself, Gao Zongxian felt a chill in his back, and was even more shocked and angry in his heart!
"It seems that we can only start with Xiao Xian."
…
In the dungeon.
Under Gao Zongxian's instructions, the guards deliberately took Xiao Xian to the deepest part of the dungeon.
The current dungeon was expanded on the basis of the previous dynasty, and the prison where Xiao Xian was imprisoned has not been used since it was built.
It was dark here, and the only light was an oil lamp that seemed to be extinguished at any moment.
Not to mention the prisoners, even the guards who are on duty will feel very uncomfortable if they stay for a long time.
The reason why Gao Zongxian chose this place was naturally to give Xiao Xian a show of strength.
Even if this kid has a weird mind, he is still a mortal after all. As long as he enters this dungeon, there is no fear of him running out!
"Tell me, who are you? Why did you come to the East Palace?"
Gao Zongxian did not use any torture instruments, but just sitting there brought with him a destructive pressure.
"I am Xiao Xian. I will obey the transfer from the Ministry of Internal Affairs to the East Palace. What else?"
Xiao Xian deliberately refused to cooperate, hoping to counter Gao Zongxian's pressure.
But his behavior undoubtedly angered Gao Zongxian.
"enough!"
Gao Zongxian shouted angrily, and a fighting momentum emerged spontaneously from the sea of blood in the mountain of corpses.
"Do you still want to pretend to be stupid to get through?"
"I have already checked your information. Tell me, who is the old scholar who raised you?"
Gao Zongxian's tone was extremely calm, but anyone could see his anger at this moment.
"Grandpa Xiao?"
Upon hearing Gao Zongxian's inquiry, a figure instantly appeared in Xiao Xian's memory, but he accidentally made a sound.
Although the voice was extremely low, it was still clearly heard by Gao Zongxian. He stood up and stared directly at Xiao Xian:
"Yes! That's him!"
"What's his name? Who is he? Did he help you get through and enter the East Palace!"
"What is your purpose!"
Under Gao Zongxian's repeated questioning, Xiao Xian instantly discovered the clue.
Didn’t you say you looked through my files? Why are you still asking? Are you testing me?
Seeing that Gao Zongxian's expression didn't seem to be fake, Xiao Xian shook his head in his heart:
That's strange. Since he knows that Grandpa Xiao raised me, he must have read my file.
In this case, why don't you know Grandpa Xiao's identity?
Speaking of which... Grandpa Xiao's identity is indeed mysterious enough.
Xiao Xian groped his chin. Ever since his predecessor had memories, he had been raised by the old man named Xiao.
So much so that his name was given by the other party.
As for the other party's full name and even identity, my predecessor also curiously asked, but all I got was:
"You will know later."
Within a few years, Xiao Xian was arranged to enter the palace by Lao Ru and was never heard from again.
Xiao Xian had not had time to think about it because he had experienced so much excitement since time traveling.
Now after Gao Zongxian's interrogation, Xiao Xian gradually began to have speculations in his mind.
Could it be that he was caught up in some political struggle?
Xiao Xian paused and said truthfully:
"Since this slave can remember, the only elder is Grandpa Xiao. Although he told the slave that he is actually my prince, he has never revealed his identity."
"As for entering the palace, it was the first year of Xuanfeng. Grandpa Xiao said he would take me to a place where there would be no shortage of food and drink, so I obeyed the order and came here."
"What happened after that? He never came to see you?" Gao Zongxian asked.
"No." Xiao Xian shook his head. After merging with his predecessor, he also missed this unborn old man.
