I'm here to find my son

"Song Aiqing, let's step down first, I'm a little tired." Behind the rusty golden gauze curtain, the old emperor gently held Li Xingzhi's hand.

Song Yi replied "Yes", and continued: "Your Majesty, the most important thing is to take care of the dragon's body. This small army, with the strength of our celestial dynasty, is not enough for the number of teeth."

"I know." The old emperor waved his hands and said, "Aiqing, please step down."

Song Yili then withdrew.

As soon as he left, the old emperor hurriedly pressed Li Xingzhi's palm, and said eagerly, "Help me quickly to see Zhuo Zhao..."

"It's inconvenient for the emperor to get out of bed." Li Xingzhi commanded the eunuch methodically, "What are you still kneeling there for? If you're scared to pee, go and clean it up, and if you're not scared to pee, bring the second prince over."

The eunuchs retreated and stood up, and the order in the hall was finally restored.Two discerning court ladies found a stretcher from nowhere and passed it to the eunuchs.

The eunuchs quickly placed Li Zhuozhao up again and carried him to the dragon couch.

The old emperor bent down tremblingly, and Li Xingzhi finally saw the person in front of him clearly. After removing the thick and exaggerated crown, he was completely exposed like snow and silver threads.

With the white temples to the left, there is a majestic, but indeed aging face, and the pair of eyes that record the prosperity and decline of the years are no longer as vigorous as before.

His fingers lightly touched Li Zhuozhao's cheekbones and eyelashes, as if he lost his mind, he said, "Back then, Hongzhao was like this. When he fell to the ground, he disappeared. The difference is that Hongzhao did it because of his fate, while Zhuozhao did it because of his fate." Because of this disgraceful nonsense."

Li Xingzhi remained silent and just listened quietly.

"Second brother, do you hate me that much?" Li Zhuozhao was born a little slower than others, and his brain was not as smart. The emperor couldn't say he didn't care about his son.

He didn't treat him harshly like other princes, in order not to put too much pressure on him and let him have a happier childhood.

But the emperor didn't expect that his gentleness towards him would put more unspeakable pressure on him.

The old emperor lowered his eyes. Li Zhuozhao was actually born half an hour earlier than Li Hongzhao. It's just that the emperor loved the queen very much at that time, and he didn't want the son of a little girl in the palace to overwhelm his eldest son. It happened that Li Zhuozhao was born at the same time. It's an auspicious time again.

At that time, the old emperor didn't care about any rules or irregularities. His favorite woman gave birth to a son, and when he was happy, the birth time of the two people was changed just like that.

But in fact, there is no difference between changing and not changing.

Although there is only one word difference between the eldest son and the eldest son, their status and destiny are very different.

Li Xingzhi could feel the old emperor's fingers swipe across his palm, Lord Hou turned his attention to the palm, and the first word written by the old emperor was——

play.

Then his fingers continued to move slowly.

Sleepy.

Song.

The emperor's movements stopped abruptly, and after a while, Li Xingzhi comforted him, "The deceased is dead, and please express my condolences to the emperor."

"Yeah, the dead are gone..." the old emperor muttered, fatigue added to his already sluggish expression, and he looked in a trance.

The dead are gone, the living should be like this.

But in this world, it is doomed to be impossible for the people of the time to be like this.

The old emperor turned his head, and then took a deep look at Li Xingzhi: "You should also step back. Now that the sea is flooding and the world is not peaceful, don't go out even if there is no major event, you understand?"

Li Xingzhi nodded, and glanced at Li Zhuozhao's body without sadness or joy: "Then Xingzhi will leave first."

The old emperor closed his eyes and nodded slightly.

"Play." Li Xingzhi murmured.

There is a pun in the word play, the strength with which the old emperor held his hand just now does not seem to be terminally ill, which means that the emperor is seriously ill, and he is acting... Then why act?

By the way, the news that the old emperor was seriously ill was widely known, and based on Li Xingzhi's understanding of the emperor, if he really died, he would not say anything.After quietly arranging everything, and then dying forever, this is his style of handling things.

As for the second prince, it was precisely when he learned that the old emperor was seriously ill and he had only been summoned to see him recently, that he couldn't sit still and rebelled.

So the first scene is to attract people who have bad intentions.

And this second play should refer to the people around the old emperor or the court ministers.Hearing that Nan Zimu interrupted Li Xingzhi, he murmured, "There must be more than one possibility for this second play."

"Hmm... yes, in the first case, someone close to the emperor or a high-ranking minister in the court is acting. Then there is another case, what is it?" Li Xingzhi looked at Nan Zimu.

Nan Zimu: "Master Hou, has it ever occurred to you that you have unconsciously minimized the word 'drama'? I think the emperor is referring to someone in the court who is setting up a big drama, and the second prince conspired against him. Even forcing the palace is just a prelude to his big drama?"

"Where did Mr. Nan see it?" Song Ci felt his spine tremble when he heard Nan Zimu's plausible words, so he asked in doubt.

Nanzi Mu Kan said: "Combined with the trapped words behind, it can be speculated that the emperor was trapped by someone. Besides, why didn't he dare to explain the situation to Lord Hou personally? Li Jing, your grandfather is usually Do you like playing dumb people?"

Li Jing shook his head: "He doesn't like to beat around the bush."

"That is to say, the emperor was forced to write these three words on Lord Hou's hand. And under what circumstances, a Ninth Five-Year Supreme would be forced to help?" Nan Zimu paused and answered Said, "Unless someone close to him betrayed him, he was being watched, everyone would be suspicious, but the emperor obviously couldn't determine who the betrayer was, so he had no choice but to resort to war."

"What Zimu said makes sense." Li Xingzhi poured him a cup of tea to moisten his throat, "Although treason is a serious crime, it doesn't matter if the mastermind is executed directly, but Li Zhuozhao is the second prince after all, and he has already been crowned king, how can he Song Yili do it all together?" Come, kill him? Although Li Zhuozhao was emotional at that time, he drew his sword and pointed at the emperor, but the Imperial Forest Army could not have the time to shoot arrows, but they did not have the ability to take a few more steps to capture him alive."

At that time, the imperial army obeyed Song Yili's orders, but Li Jing couldn't figure it out, how could there be ministers rushing to kill the prince?Even if the prince commits a heinous crime, it is still the emperor's flesh and blood. Even if the emperor doesn't care at first, there will inevitably be a gap in his heart.

And a companion is like a tiger, you never know when this little estrangement will explode.

Song Ci's face was a bit ugly, Nan Zimu stared at him for a moment, and suddenly said: "If Mr. Song feels uncomfortable, then leave, but——If Mr. Song also has..."

Song Ci was determined: "It's okay. Lord Hou treats me like a brother and sister, and I treat Lord Hou with a sincere heart. The bright moon can learn from it. I don't care about my father's ordinary fun. If he dares to harbor ill-will towards the throne, I will definitely... "

"What are you sure about? Do you want to kill relatives with righteousness? Don't say it too early, just have an idea in your heart. If you really meet your own father and brother, dare to ask Mr. Song if he can cut it down with a knife?"

Nan Zimu's words were harsh, but Song Ci thought about it calmly, and it was true.The righteousness of the family and the country, he has put these four words above all things since he was a child, but if that time really comes, can Song Ci hold these four words and smash them at his relatives without blinking his eyes?

Song Ci thought for a moment, then said, "I'll shut up, you guys continue."

Song Ci is not the kind of person who can get into a dead end, and Li Xingzhi has no time to care about his feelings at the moment. He thought for a while, and then said: "The so-called elite soldiers that Li Zhuozhao brought into the palace are probably not worthy of their names. It was taken down by the Imperial Forest Army, although the Imperial Forest Army is powerful, they are not magical soldiers..."

"No, it shouldn't be a misnomer." Nan Zimu interrupted, "Could it be that the soldiers guarding the palace gate also mutinied?"

Lord Hou looked at him, and quickly made amends: "Well... I took it for granted. If these elite soldiers are not worthy of their names, they will not even be able to enter the palace, so..." So the second prince was undoubtedly cheated up.

Nan Zimu continued expressionlessly: "However, if it is said that the mastermind is Song Yili, there are several points that do not make sense - first, Lord Hou said that he used to hold the inaction character of indifference to the world and did not let go. They are all pretending to be pigs and eating tigers? Second, to induce the second prince to rebel, and then trick him, what benefits will Master Shang Shu get? Is it just to kill cheap nephews for fun?"

Song Ci, who agreed to shut up, couldn't help asking: "Induction? How can Mr. Nan be sure that the second prince was induced?"

Nan Zimu looked at Li Xingzhi, and Li Xingzhi immediately said, "Otherwise, do you think that my idiot, Second Emperor Uncle, has the guts and brains to commit treason?"

Nan Zimu continued: "So the weapons we found in the theater before were all made for the rebellion here, and the theft of the silver treasury in the land entrusted by the second prince must be inseparable. According to what Lord Hou said , the second prince has been an idiot since he was a child, how could he arrange such a meticulous game?"

"If the second prince's elite soldiers were still elite soldiers at that time, there is a great possibility that they will succeed in forcing the palace."

"Happiness..." Nan Zimu's pupils shrank suddenly. On his wrist was a red bead of ruby ​​magic, and another white bead given by ruby. The first one was used in case of danger; And the second one is the enchantment around his house, if Xiao Huanxi leaves the house at night, the white beads will light up.

Li Xingzhi hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with Huanxi?"

"He went out of the house." Nan Zimu stood up suddenly, and Li Xingzhi also stood up quickly, and followed Nan Zimu towards his bedroom.

"Happy!" The bed in the room was really empty, even the sheets and bedding disappeared.

It was rare for Nan Zimu to feel that he couldn't catch his breath, and his expression relaxed for a moment. Master Hou quickly clasped his hand and comforted him, "Maybe it's just getting up at night..."

"The chamber pots are all in the room. Where does he go when he gets up at night?" Nan Zimu said calmly, "Let's look around here first. The beads just lit up not long ago, so he shouldn't have gone far."
