Come on, Your Highness

Black bears will not attack people unprovoked unless they are provoked or starving.

But there are animals everywhere in the woods, there is no reason to talk to people.

After escaping from the dead, Xiao Hong recalled that a volunteer bodyguard and a black bear happened to be in the habitat of wild deer. All of this is a coincidence, is it possible?

Impossible, because the guard is dead.

"How did he die? Didn't people take a good look at him?"

"Bite your tongue and kill yourself, or commit suicide in fear of crime." He Xichao said.

Xiao Hong was not surprised. This guard would not take him to find a deer for no reason. Naturally, someone asked him to do so.Regardless of whether Xiao Hong can get out of it safely, he won't live long.

"Xi Chao, who do you think it will be?"

"I'm not sure, but we can deduce it. If you want the black bear to play a role, the key is to lure you there. No one dares to force you to go or not. If you don't want to appear so deliberate, naturally you want to go the best .”

Xiao Hong's eyes darkened, "It's that bet."

He Xichao nodded, "It seems so at present. With your character, you will not reject this bet, and even in order to win, you must find another way to hunt big animals in the deep mountains. Even if you don't think of it for a while, there will be wild deer somewhere in the woods." The news of the news came out, and it still makes your heart beat."

A surge of anger rose from the bottom of his heart in an instant, Xiao Hong frowned tightly, he suppressed the anger and confirmed: "Could it be them?" Anyway, they are brothers, and they usually don't like each other, but it doesn't mean that you will die. Xiao Hong couldn't believe it.

He Xichao said: "Their suspicion is the biggest. However, if it is said that they colluded to plan this accident, I think it is very unlikely. There is no need for Prince Guang and Prince Heping. They are not children, even if they hate you for murdering the prince. However, the charges against them are not something they can bear. Therefore, the remaining Xiao Ming and Xiao Yi are very likely to take advantage of this bet and arrange it secretly. They cannot do it themselves, but behind them are Zhongcui Palace and Fanghua Palace. It’s hard to say. Of course, this is calculated based on the bet, but if there is no such bet, if news of a deer comes to you, will you go?”

Xiao Hong replied without thinking: "No."

This answer surprised He Xichao, "Why?"

Xiao Hong glanced at him, "You definitely don't want to go, so who will I show my deer-hunting heroism?"

He Xichao was stunned, "Wouldn't it be better to present the head deer to the emperor?"

"I don't do this kind of showy thing. If I want to send it, I have to bake it myself and send it quietly to show my sincerity." Xiao Hong has a deep understanding of how to please his father.

He Xichao nodded heavily, "Very good, you are better than blue. But most people really can't think of it. According to your personality outside, I mean that you give others the impression that you are rebellious, maverick, and defiant. , arrogant and conceited, it is normal to be pushed to hunt a deer to show off, after all, you are very good at riding and shooting."

"So it could be someone else?"

"Yes, you have blocked the way of too many people, and everyone wants to move you away. Besides, the little princes below are growing up gradually, and they all have reasons."

Since ancient times, although the eldest son has attached great importance to them, they are also the most threatened from all sides. Xiao Hongchu's position in this position is unavoidable.

Today's matter will not be less in the future.

He Xichao felt tired for Xiao Hong when he thought about it, "It's pointless to speculate wildly. If you want to know who the murderer is, there is only one way. When the emperor comes, tell him. After a thorough investigation, the truth will always come to light."

That's right, he is the one who suffers. If such a big thing happened, it is natural to investigate.

Xiao Hong felt that he should do this, but he hesitated, "My mind is a little messed up, and I really want to go to my father immediately to find out that bastard and tear him into pieces. But I have a feeling that even if I do this It's a pleasure for a while, but it doesn't seem suitable, Xi Chao, you analyze it for me, and point me to the... the most correct way..."

What is the most correct way is nothing more than maximizing the benefits based on this. If things get worse, it is better to press what is more beneficial to him, and whether temporary forbearance can get greater returns.

When Xiao Hong said this, there was confusion in his eyes. According to the past, he must seek justice, but now, he began to have scruples and began to think about the pros and cons.

In He Xichao's eyes, this change made him feel a little complicated, but this Xiao Hongcai was more mature.

He pondered for a moment and said: "Whether such a big thing happened, no matter whether it was intentional or not, the officials responsible up and down the Xishan paddock must not be able to escape the guilt, plus the guard who committed suicide, it is obvious that someone deliberately attacked you. An investigation must be done, but how? Today is the first day of hunting, civil and military officials, and women in the harem are all here. If the imperial decree is issued to conduct a thorough investigation, everyone will be on guard. Anyone who is related will be interrogated. This spring hunt has to end in panic before it even started. Furthermore, if the results of the investigation are revealed, can they still be kept secret? If it is consistent with our guess, it really comes from the harem or the study room. In the face of the royal family, there is also the family relationship between father and son. According to the law of the country, the crime of murdering the prince will be punished, and no matter how bad it is, he will be exiled for thousands of miles. Is the emperor willing to do so? How can the court and harem be turbulent? All the officials and the harem are watching, if you let it go gently, I am afraid that the princes below will follow suit, and they will really have no scruples, and there will be no peace. In the end, no matter what you choose, it will either hurt you or the emperor .”

"So father will investigate secretly, won't he?" Xiao Hong's eyes showed a trace of unwillingness, not only for himself, but also for He Xichao who calmly analyzed in front of him, "Even if we really know who did it, father will not announce it." to the public."

"Probably yes. Everything the emperor does is to seek stability. After all, we are fine. Small punishments and big punishments will be his choice. The palms and backs of the hands are all meat, so what else? But if the cousin asks the emperor to be the master, The emperor has to give you an explanation for his feelings and reasons! No matter how unwilling he is, he can't chill your heart, otherwise, what will the civil and military officials think of you? You, the eldest prince, have no weight at all, so he has no choice but to order a thorough investigation. "

Xiao Hong nodded silently, thinking of Emperor Tiangan's kindness to him, he couldn't help but feel a little bit unbearable.

He Xichao looked at him, and continued: "Since the investigation is thorough, all relevant personnel, no matter who they are, have to investigate. The bet is the most direct cause and effect of luring you to the dense forest. The four of them and even the companions are investigating from the beginning to the end. Your respect, it is very detrimental to their face. If you find out that someone is involved, if you don't, you will definitely be angry with you, and the relationship between your brothers will be even more precarious. Remember the brothers and friends I said earlier. , the relationship is so bad, it is difficult to mend it, although it is not our fault."

"So it's time to stop, Xi Chao?" Xiao Hong smiled wryly.

He Xichao shook his head, "I was just analyzing the consequences, and I didn't ask you to be silent. Because others don't know what it means to hang your life by a thread, or what it means to put your life on the line and live later. Ordinary people can't understand that kind of fear. In this life, I I don't even want to try again. We obviously didn't do anything, but we were framed by others. Why can't we demand that the mastermind behind the scenes be found and severely punished? There is also his woman, his courtiers, there is no reason for the eldest son to swallow his grievances because of his embarrassment, that is too unreasonable!"

Xiao Hong felt a little better when he heard it, he understood, "What should I do, Xi Chao, you support me?"

He Xichao squinted his eyes and hummed heavily, "If you want to get to the bottom of it, I will find a way to help you appease others. If you bear with it and let the emperor decide, although I can't do anything, I love you even more."

Xiao Hong felt that no matter how great his grievances were, He Xichao's words were gone.

"Xi Chao, you are so kind."

Every time Xiao Hong said this simple compliment, the corners of He Xichao's mouth deepened.

Just as he was talking, Mr. Chang said fairly at the door: "Your Highness, the second prince, the third prince, the son of Prince Guang and the son of Prince Pingjun are here."

Xiao Hong raised his eyebrows, and immediately lay down, with some red and swollen wrists resting on his lap. He Xichao watched one or two walk in and said, "Your elder brother, I didn't even know I was injured. Let's take a look. It seems to be self-consciousness." I went to pick out the girl's clothes, how about it, have you chosen it?"

The four of them were still following their companions. When they heard this, they immediately frowned. Xiao Ming couldn't help but retorted: "It's really a disaster that lasted for thousands of years. Where did the elder brother get hurt? Isn't it good? He spoke with full of air, compared We are all strong…”

After Xiao Ming finished speaking, he received three pairs of disapproving looks, and immediately blushed.

Xiao Hong didn't care about this, and said tauntingly: "Isn't the eyes the same as the blind man outside? My wrist is so swollen that I can't see?"

"It's just a swollen wrist, Brother Hall, you should be thankful. It's a miracle that such a big blind man can survive." Prince Guang's son said, and then he asked He Xichao, "What did the imperial doctor say?"

He Xichao replied: "The bone is in the wrong position, it has been straightened, and I can't use my strength these few days."

"Then take good care of it, don't ride horses and shoot arrows."

After Prince Guang's son finished speaking, there was nothing to talk about in the tent.

Xiao Yi wanted to get a cup of tea, but found that no one poured it. According to his usual temper, he would have to yell, but this time he pressed it down and asked, "Brother, don't you have any tea here?"

He glanced at He Xi, but the latter held Xiao Hong's arms in vain and didn't even have the intention of getting up to pour tea.

"If you are thirsty, pour it yourself, it's on the table, it's a matter of doing your hands." Xiao Hong said.

Everyone twitched the corners of their mouths together, and Wu Xiang quickly poured tea, and poured tea for the other three masters by the way.

What He Xichao did as a companion was really... making his peers envious.

If you have tea, drink it slowly. As for the bet, you can't say anything, for fear of being ridiculed by Xiao Hong when you open your mouth, so you wait for others.

Xiao Hong rubbed his chin with the other hand, and looked at the seemingly calm but agitated couple in front of him. He was about to drink up a cup of tea, and said, "Why, I haven't seen tea in a few lifetimes, and I can drink it all here." Drink? Do you want to serve you some refreshments?"

"Ahem, of course not, brother, we are here to visit you." Xiao Yi forced a smile.

Xiao Hong nodded, "Really? Well then, you guys have read it, I'm fine, thank you brothers for their kindness, go back, brother, I have to rest."

"Don't, big hall brother." Prince Pingjun said quickly, "We just want to ask you for a favor."

Hearing this, Xiao Hong patted the bed, "That's right, this is just like you, you don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for everything, you must ask for something when you come here to show your hospitality, so don't make these fake things. If you fart, let it go, if the young master is in a good mood , maybe I promise you."

"Brother, why do you speak so badly!" Xiao Ming said helplessly.

Don't care about whether it sounds good or not at this time, isn't Xiao Hong just such a person, just get used to it.

Prince Guang's son said: "Big cousin, it's about betting."

"You want to go back on your word?"

After being caught by Xiao Hong's words, the faces of several people were a little embarrassed, Xiao Yi said cheekily: "Brother hunted Xiong Xiazi, he is undoubtedly better than us, if it is normal, you can wear girls' clothes, anyway. Not worn. Just..."

"It's just... I don't believe that the hall brother thought it was an accident. Xiong Xiazi saw that someone deliberately put it in to harm the hall brother." Prince Guang's son simply said, "We were all shocked when we heard it. This is the bet, but big cousin, although the four of us are not compatible with you, we have always made it clear that we will not do such insidious things, and there is no need to do so."

"In that case, what is there to worry about?"

Prince Guang's son brought a cup of tea to Xiao Hong's hand, and said with a smile: "But it's troublesome, if those people are incapable of finding out anything, wouldn't they treat us as suspects? Leaving an impression of being disrespectful to the big brother is not worth the loss, so I also ask the big brother to hold your hand high. If you need my brother in the future, just speak up."

Xiao Hong looked at the cup of tea, and took it with a slight smile, "Indeed, you and Xiao Yu will only join in unless your brains are flooded..."

Xiao Yi jumped up immediately when he heard it, "What do you mean by elder brother? It's even more impossible to be me. To put it bluntly, what's wrong with elder brother? My younger brother is the first to be suspected. My father is in the prime of his life, thinking of something It's a little too early."

"You really want to understand." Xiao Hong commented.

The rest of Xiao Ming can only say: "Who dares to bear the crime of killing my brother? Once it is discovered, not only I will be finished, but also my mother and concubine will suffer. She is now the head of the harem. How many people are staring at her mistake? There's really no need to do that."

There is one more thing he didn't say, Xiao Hong can't threaten his status now, isn't he the most favored son of Emperor Tiangan?Coupled with the forces behind him, why bother to plant such a disaster for himself.

Xiao Hong glanced at him with a half-smile, without pointing it out, but said: "Okay, since you all know to visit my frightened elder brother, it means that you still care about brotherhood. After all these years, what kind of character are you guys?" I don’t understand sex yet. Let’s just leave it at that, if you didn’t have to make this bet, I wouldn’t bother to see you pretending to be a girl, and it’s not pretty.”

You were so excited at the beginning!While everyone was slandering, they were a little uncertain, "Big brother means..."

Xiao Hong handed the teacup to He Xichao and said, "The joke between us brothers, why should everyone know about it, right?"

"Big Brother is refreshing, thank you Big Brother!" Xiao Yi exclaimed. To be honest, he was under the greatest pressure.

Everyone knew that Xiao Hong was the next to him, if Xiao Hong was gone, he would immediately become the target of public criticism, and everyone would have to doubt him.

"But since the big brother won, I still want the lottery." Prince Guang's son said, "We have to stay in the Xishan paddock for a few days. The big brother is injured and can't draw the bow. Why don't we hunt more? I will do it tomorrow night." Dong, how about going to my place to roast game?"

"That's good." Prince Ping responded positively.

He Xichao glanced at Xiao Hong, and the latter immediately understood, "What kind of prize is this? I heard that you hunted a lot of good things today. As for me, I only have a bear with my hands empty. Don't do anything else. Just have a dinner today." Afterwards, you come to my place, take out all the good things you hunted, and then punish me with three cups to suppress my surprise, how about it?"

"Okay, since the elder brother said, then listen to the elder brother." Xiao Yi said, "I will definitely come."

"Today I hunted a doe, a fawn, and two wild boars. Although it is enough, the fox is not good, but the leather is not bad, so I gave it to my brother." Xiao Ming is also very generous.

"Then I would like to thank third brother, who just put a scarf on my Xichao, he is afraid of the cold in winter."

The companions read: "..." Once again, the real name is envious.
