Xiao Mingyue was disturbed by his love dream, he was not happy physically and mentally, and he was full of unknown anger, which ruined his fairy-like self-cultivation. His gloomy gaze swept across the two uninvited guests, and he attacked Xiao Mingxuan first, and satirized: "Second brother I can't sleep in the middle of the night, why don't I go to the mill and put on a blindfold for a few laps?"

After laughing at his brother who was not as good as an animal, Xiao Mingyue turned to Xia Yunze again, thinking that there was a bit of love between husband and wife, her tone was softer: "Yunze is here to consummate the house with me?" At the same time, he turned the corner and went His brother was stabbed in the chest.

Xia Yunze shook his head and hands together, denying Sanlian: "I'm not, I'm not, don't think too much about it!"

Xiao Mingxuan recalled the way his brother was writhing with his arms around the pillow just now, and snorted from his nasal cavity: "It's only been a few days since you've been away from a man, and he left you like this, you're useless!"

If it were left to the past, Xiao Mingyue would probably be stabbed to the point of embarrassment or even self-pity and self-pity, but after so many quarrels with his brother, and being tempered by his daughter-in-law both physically and mentally, it is not what it used to be, not only His face was getting thicker, and his mentality was as stable as an old dog, and he replied: "You are promising, don't put your hands on my wife's waist."

Whenever he got a chance, he took advantage of his sister-in-law, how could he have the face to teach him a lesson?

"Don't quarrel as soon as you meet." Xia Yunze, as an unbiased and gentle player, tore Xiao Mingxuan's hand from his waist, and glanced at the prince's open neckline and reddish neck, feeling a little embarrassed , Said: "We'll wait for you outside first, you come here after a while, put on more clothes, it's cold at night."

The prince waved his hand and got off the bed directly.

What are you waiting for?Seeing his brother's stinky face, he lost all interest.

The three of them sat around on the low couch in the outer room. It happened that Eunuch He was on duty at night. When he heard the noise in the hall, he stumbled to the small kitchen and set a table of tea and snacks for them when he came back.

Xia Yunze was the most impatient of hunger, and couldn't help but smile when he saw something to eat. He grabbed a piece of milk pancake and gnawed it while boasting: "There is no one in the entire East Palace who is more caring than Eunuch He. Don't you think so, Brother Prince?"

Xiao Mingxuan had just ordered Chen Yu to fetch things from the study in Duanwang's Mansion, and she was not in a hurry to get to the point, sipping tea and listening to their chat.

"Eunuch He is an old man by my side, and he really takes care of him with all his heart." Xiao Mingyue glanced at his daughter-in-law for some reason, feeling that there was something in the other's words.

His daughter-in-law really looked at Eunuch He with a smile and asked, "How many years has Eunuch been with the Prince?"

Eunuch He bowed his head, and replied with a smile: "Back to the Crown Princess, the slaves have been honored to serve the master since he was born, and it has been 21 years now."

The Crown Princess had a relaxed expression, her tone was gentle, and she asked like gossip, "Has the Crown Prince been weak and sick since he was a child?"

Eunuch He hesitated for a moment, and peeked at his master. Before the prince could speak, the princess tapped on the kang table and said in a deep voice: "Don't look at him, answer truthfully."

Eunuch He shrank his neck, knowing that there was no way to avoid this, he gritted his teeth, and brought up the old story again: "Master was healthy when he was young, but he suffered a serious illness in the winter when he was ten years old, and his bones have not been very good... But since the Crown Princess When you married in, the master has obviously become much stronger, and he hasn't been sick since the beginning of autumn."

Xia Yunze raised his eyebrows and asked, "Is it because of the time Xiao Lian fell into the water?"

These two words seem to have their own magical power, which not only makes the atmosphere tense between the brothers, but also sweats on Eunuch He's forehead.

"Since you have been with the prince for a long time, you can't be ignorant of Xiao Lian's affairs."

"Whose hands did the prince leave to Xiao Lian from the beginning to the end?"

"Xiao Lian knelt in front of Concubine Shun's door for most of the day, who stopped people from telling the prince?"

"And who sent the letter to King Duan?"

A series of questions made Eunuch He sweat profusely, Xiao Mingxuan also frowned, and looked at his brother: "Xiao Lian has been kneeling in front of your door for a long time, you don't know?"

A look of sadness flashed across Xiao Mingyue's eyes, and she said in a hoarse voice: "At that time, I was serving the sick in the Empress Dowager's palace, and by the time Eunuch He sent the letter to me, it was already...too late."

I only complain that the accident happened too fast, followed by a bloody cleansing in the palace, even many of the palace people around him were involved, Xiao Mingyue even broke through a gate of hell, a dozen imperial doctors had their hair grayed out before they could get out of here. Lord Yan took his life back.

At that time, he was only concerned about being sad, angry and sad, but he didn't investigate the doubtful points in detail. Now that Xia Yunze pointed it out, the more people think about it, the weirder it becomes.

It happened that Chen Yu went and came back again, knocked on the door to see him, Xiao Mingxuan nodded slightly, and asked Eunuch He to go to the door to pick up the things.

Those were the letters he hid in the dark compartment of the study, Xiao Mingxuan picked out one and handed it to Xia Yunze first.

Xia Yunze browsed through it, pursed his thin lips slightly, looked at Eunuch He, and said, "I know you have a deep affection for the crown prince, can you bear to watch their brothers misunderstand each other and suffer from the same roots?"

The corners of Eunuch He's eyes were red, he knelt down with a plop, and explained sentence by sentence: "Master's letter, first submit it to Concubine Shun, and send it to Master Lian after checking that there is nothing wrong with it."

"At that time, it was Eunuch Li who served the pen and ink in the master's study, and he also sent the letter to the master."

Xiao Mingyue vaguely recalled the past, nodded, and added: "There is indeed such a person, and the serving time is not long, but he is involved in such a job, where is he working now?"

Eunuch He shook his head, and was afraid for a while: "He was hit by a board and couldn't hold it back, so at that time..."

At that time, there was turmoil in the palace, everyone was in danger, and Eunuch He was also punished, but he survived because of his strong body—compared with the palace servants in Xiao Mingxuan Palace who were personally ordered to be killed by the emperor, he was lucky to survive .

He swallowed his saliva, and then said: "The master went to serve the sick in the queen mother's palace, but the servants wanted to send a message but were blocked from outside. After begging for a long time, the Li mother who was beside the queen mother came out and said, don't get in the way because of some trivial matters." The master is filial."

Xiao Mingxuan stared at his brother intently, the prince clenched his fists, his long eyelashes trembled slightly, it was hard to describe the bitterness.

A living human life is just an insignificant matter in the eyes of the superiors. They seem to be omnipotent, but they stand idly by this tragedy and watch those weak people struggling and crying for help in the torrent with cold eyes.

The status of a prince sounds noble, but having no power in his hands is nothing compared to being a fart.

Xia Yunze silently handed him a cup of tea, Xiao Mingyue thanked him in a low voice, took it and held it in his hand, greedily absorbing the warmth that penetrated the cup wall.

Seeing his brother's appearance, Xiao Mingxuan was surprised and inexplicably sad. He regretted that he was young and impulsive at the time, and never exchanged news with his brother, which made the brothers treat each other as a feud for so many years.

Xia Yunze saw his remorse, patted the back of his hand, and comforted him: "The past is irreversible, I just hope that you can clear up the past, and stop letting others take advantage of loopholes."

Xiao Mingxuan covered it with his sleeve, held his hand behind his back, calmed himself down, and said: "Everyone in my palace was killed, and the emperor personally ordered it, no one can intercede, the maid who sent me the letter was also there in."

That winter, one of their brothers was recuperating from illness and the other was recuperating from injury. Neither of them had the extra energy to get to the bottom of it, and let this muddled account develop into an insoluble enmity.

If there is no little emperor's wife, they don't know how many years they will have to hate each other.

Xia Yunze unfolded the old letter, handed it to Eunuch He, and asked, "Look carefully, is this the letter the crown prince wrote to Xiao Lian back then?"

Eunuch He raised his head, read it over and over again, shook his head and said, "It's not this one."

Xiao Mingyue let out a "Huh", leaned over to take a look, and exclaimed: "It's really not!"

The handwriting was the same as his, and the signature was still stamped with his private seal. Xiao Mingxuan took the letter and asked Eunuch He: "What is the difference between the prince's letter and this letter?"

Eunuch He wiped off his sweat, and said in a low voice: "This servant is illiterate, but I remember that the master's letter at that time had more than a hundred characters, which took up such a wide paper." He put his fingers together and compared the width, "This letter... ...with two fingers missing..."

"You are careful." Xia Yunze looked at him meaningfully, "It's a good thing you can't read."

Xiao Mingyue said that he specially wrote in the letter to make Xiao Lian not worry, and that he would definitely pick him up in the future, but the letter in front of him didn't mention it at all.

The letter was transferred in Concubine Shun's palace.

It is not difficult to imitate the handwriting of a ten-year-old child, and it is even easier to get his private seal.

"Could it be my mother... who harmed Xiao Lian?" Xiao Mingyue's face was pale, terrified and frightened, with tears glistening in his eyes.

"We can't make a conclusion yet." Although Xia Yunze doesn't like Concubine Shun, he doesn't want to let her take the blame for no reason. "She probably changed the letter to let Xiao Lian give up and stop entanglement. It's similar to the Queen Mother's intention. They can't do it." Let Xiao Lian die, and...she knows you will be sad when Xiao Lian dies."

No matter how many faults Concubine Shun has, she is really kind to Xiao Mingyue, there is no doubt that she is so good that it makes people suffocate.

For example, Concubine Shun clearly regards herself as a thorn in the side, but because of the protection of the crown prince, after so many days of marriage, except for the time when she met her in-laws, she was a little unhappy.

Xiao Mingyue felt better in her heart, and immediately felt that it was extremely unfilial to doubt her biological mother.

Xia Yunze calmed down the crown prince, then turned to Xiao Mingxuan, and said bluntly: "There must be nails planted by others in your palace, otherwise someone would not be able to bite you at a critical moment, but they will all be killed regardless of loyalty and traitors, I am afraid it is to kill people."

Only the dead can keep secrets, but since it is a secret, why didn't everyone avoid it in the first place, and then rush to fight with a shameless face when something happened?

The emperor hated these palace servants for teaching his master badly. In his opinion, bullying companions is nothing, but beating elder brothers is an unforgivable crime. Therefore, the servants should be punished, but servants also have relatives. The rough envoys who sweep the courtyard are not spared, it is too much to go too far.

To put it bluntly, his own father didn't teach his son to be a human being, so even if the servants blow the wind in front of the master, what effect can they play?

Just being angry.

What's worse is that some people were angered, while others had to be tied up.

"Did Xiao Lian really run away by himself? So many people can't stand a child?" Xia Yunze knocked on the case and mused, "They jointly hid one thing from you, and it was this thing that seemed insignificant at first After Xiao Lian's accident, people felt that it was a big deal, and they lost their lives in the end."

Those people may die without knowing what they have committed.

After talking about it, I couldn't help but secretly lamented that it was fortunate that I was dressed as a powerful person. If I was unfortunately dressed as a court lady and eunuch, it would be fine if I bowed my knees and couldn't help myself.

Xiao Mingxuan suddenly thought of something, and flicked his fingers to call Chen Yu in: "Quickly ask Lin Yan to come and answer."

Lin Yan is Eunuch Lin, the Chief Manager of Duanwang's Mansion. At that time, he made a small mistake and was sent to the laundering office to do coolies.

It seems that what the emperor wants to deal with is indeed only the people present, otherwise he will be accused of instigating his master to be bad, so how could Eunuch Lin slip through the net.

Chen Yu rushed like the wind, and dug Manager Lin out of the bed, rolled his robe on his shoulders, and took a shortcut from the roof all the way back. Poor Eunuch Lin was so weak that he couldn't stand when he landed. He was dizzy and dizzy. It was only with a dark face that he could not vomit it out.

The two brothers and the princess looked at him aggressively, how dare he hide it?Quickly bowed his head and knelt down, telling the whole secret that had been suppressed in his heart for more than ten years——

"I hurt my hand in the laundry room that day, and I couldn't bear it any longer, so I sneaked back to seek mercy from my master, but before I entered the hospital, I heard scolding from inside. I knew something was wrong, and I dared not go any further. Come on, while there is no one around, sneak to the back window and listen."

He slumped his shoulders and shivered from time to time, as if he had exhausted all his strength to force out the following words: "It's the concubine Chen... She scolded Mr. Lian for being shameless and asked the palace servants to drive him out, saying it was like this... ...The lowly bastard will die outside, Mo, mo dirty the master's land..."

This time it was Xiao Mingxuan's turn to turn pale.

Xia Yunze continued to maintain a fair and impartial style, sighed, and took the peacemaker to the end——

"It's not necessarily the concubine Chen."
