Suo Diling

"Just woke up." I stood up and looked around, only to realize that this was his bedroom. I didn't recognize it, because the decoration and table furniture were all changed, and it was much better than the original one. It seems to be inseparable from the change of his status.

Soon, he will definitely move to Ranyang Palace where the crown prince has always lived.

My eyes wandered around, and I inadvertently landed on the table where he piled up the scrolls, and saw a shiny white thing between the scrolls.I recognized at a glance that it was a giant clam that is abundant in the South China Sea.The giant clam was carved with sharp edges and corners, and there was a small dagger next to it. It was obviously unfinished, and it was not clear that it was going to be carved into something.

Half a month later it will be Xiao Lan's birthday, and he wants to engrave it as a gift to his father.

"Uncle, what are you looking at?"

I shake my head.Xiao Du stood up, put down the scroll in his hand, and helped me off the bed.

His hands were so hot that they burned my skin through the cloth.The touch on my lips was still there, and I felt uncomfortable all over, I just wanted to leave quickly, but within a few steps, Xiao Du helped me to the chair, stretched out his hand to my forehead: "Uncle Huang, what happened to your face?" Is it uncomfortable to sweat so much? Why don't you stay with me tonight?"

Overnight?Who knows what kind of mind you, a rebellious brat, have in mind?

"It's okay, maybe the old problem has happened again, it's good to go back and rest for a night."

I shook my head, stood up, brushed the sleeve of the military book, the scroll rolled to the ground, and spread it out, but I saw that there were all kinds of erotic pictures on the formal book.

Those figures who were entwining each other and negotiating peace were all naked and vigorous men.

I turned my face away and pretended not to see it, but I couldn't help being shocked that such pornographic books appeared here.Xiao Du, it's no wonder that he has undeserved thoughts about me, what did he watch at such a young age!

Xiao Du half knelt down, rolled up the "Book of War", he rolled it up very slowly, as if he deliberately wanted to let me see, tied the ribbon carefully, and brushed the ashes at the end, making it neat and tidy. Put it back in the pile of scrolls on the table.

"The military book my nephew read is very simple, which made the emperor laugh."

He didn't change his face, and his tone was sincere. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I'd probably think he was asking for my advice.

I scolded him in my heart, but I pretended to be indifferent: "I heard that you fought bravely in Yingzhou, and you used the technique of luring the enemy very well. You have mastered the art of war so proficiently, so don't underestimate yourself. But you If you still want to learn more, you can read the fragments of "Tianshu" compiled by the first emperor himself, and you will definitely benefit a lot."

Xiao Du nodded, picked up a volume from the stack, and asked solemnly: "Is this the volume that Uncle Huang is talking about?"

I just got up and saw him unfolding the scroll and holding it in front of my eyes. I saw that there were densely packed small cuneiform characters inside. I frowned, so I had to sit down again and looked at it absent-mindedly. The parchment was repaired, and even the missing words were added, and it was quite reasonable, and I was secretly shocked at the moment.

You must know that this cuneiform character is an ancient language used by Mianren before the founding of the country. Only the crown prince is qualified to learn it, but since ancient times, there are very few people who can master it. I am considered talented, and I only understand six or seven points. Understood, and also repaired the fragments of "Tianshu" that had been incomplete for a hundred years?

No wonder, no wonder he felt like a god when he fought for the first time.

He is really talented.

Seeing that I was silent for a while, Xiao Du put away the scroll, and I hurriedly pressed his wrist, feeling a little hard to speak, and the itching in my heart was unbearable, I just wanted to take a closer look at the restored "Tianshu", and finally opened my mouth Asked: "Du'er, I haven't read this "Tianshu" for a long time, I almost forgot, I want to borrow it to see."

My tone was very gentle, not afraid that he would not agree.Sure enough, Xiao Du was silent for a moment, and then pushed the put away "Tianshu" in front of me: "Why is the emperor so pessimistic, how can we talk about borrowing between you and me?"

I put "Tianshu" into my sleeves, and I couldn't wait to go back to the bedroom, but Xiao Du let out an "ah", as if thinking of something.I looked at him suspiciously, saw him knock on his forehead, hesitated to speak, and asked, "What's going on?"

Xiao Du pondered for a moment, and said: "The emperor doesn't know something. I will repair this fragment because I had a strange dream a few months ago. In the dream, someone wrote the contents of this fragment. My memory is good and bad. , the fragments have not been repaired yet. If Uncle Huang sees what I have repaired and finds it ridiculous, send someone to send me over to continue repairing."

I thought to myself, could it be that the first emperor entrusted him with a dream?

Could it be...he will be the real son of Da Mian in the future?Where should I put it?

Thinking of this, my heart suddenly sank, and I stood up in a daze, stepped on the Tianshu that slipped out from my sleeve, staggered, almost fell first, was caught by Xiao Du, and hugged me, She sat face to face on his lap and threw him to the ground.The erotic picture rolled down and spread out in a corner, it happened to be very similar to the posture of me and him at this time.

Next to it there are three words of Dou Da: Baitang style.

I couldn't hold back my face at the moment, but Xiao Du remained motionless, but said: "Uncle Huang, be careful when walking."

I became angry from embarrassment, raised my voice, and sternly said, "Are you stupid? Hurry up and get up!"

Xiao Du lowered his eyes and glanced, his voice was hoarse: "Uncle Huang can't get up, how can I get up?"

Only then did I realize that I was dizzy, so I hurriedly collected my emotions, supported myself on the table, picked up "Tianshu", stopped looking at Xiao Du, gave a cold snort, and walked away.

Xiao Du was quite sensible, he didn't come out to see me off, he just sent a palace man to escort me to the sedan chair.

Before getting up from the sedan chair, I saw from a distance at the end of the long corridor leading to other princes' bedrooms on the side of Xiao Du's bedroom, a figure sitting quietly in a wheelchair stopped there, as if he had been peeping secretly for a long time.

That was Xiao Yu.

I know in my heart that he is planning a revenge, and I need to act first.

That night, I studied Xiao Du's repaired "Tianshu" for a whole night, and I didn't fall asleep until the next morning. I still couldn't calm down for a long time, and I believed more and more that he was informed of the incomplete part by the first emperor's dream.Such a thorough and incisive insight is not like what a sixteen or seventeen-year-old kid can comprehend, it is really inconceivable.

From him, I vaguely glimpsed a bigger threat than Xiao Lan.

Perhaps, instead of keeping a distance from him, I should try to win him over more tightly.

I hugged "Tianshu", closed my eyes preoccupied, and fell asleep until evening, only to be woken up by Bai Li.

There was the sound of drums welcoming guests in the distance, and I recognized that it was a welcome ceremony for the arrival of distinguished guests.

"Who is coming, so loud?"

"Going back to the emperor, it is King Wuxie of the Kingdom of Chi. Tonight, King Pinglan will dispatch a 'sky boat' to meet him. All the princes and ministers have gone, and you cannot be missing. I'm afraid it will increase his prestige."

Bai Li knew about the fierce battle between me and King Wuxie in Langya Valley. I was young and energetic at that time, fearless of the sky and the earth, and I led five hundred elite light cavalry to defeat two thousand soldiers with a single strength, and was severely defeated. The vigor of these barbarians was lost.

Now, this King Wuxie, who was beaten to death by me, has entered the imperial city of Mianguo majestically, and has turned himself into a distinguished guest. He may even have the intention of joining forces with me. How can I not meet him for a while?

"Did you see Wusha again these days?" I asked, and stood up, and Rong Shunde changed my clothes.

"The subordinates have been following him and fought several times, but his martial arts skills are so strong that it is really difficult to catch him." Bai Li showed embarrassment, but his tone implied admiration, "But this person does not seem to be hostile. The next time he accidentally injured his subordinate, in this fight, he deliberately let the subordinate do a few tricks, let the subordinate hurt him, and gave him a good medicine."

As he spoke, he took out a black lacquered brocade bag, opened it, and inside was a blood-colored elixir.

"My subordinate went to the doctor to try it, and confirmed that this medicine is made from wolf blood ginseng outside the pass. It is non-toxic and is an excellent healing tonic. It not only strengthens the body, but also cures all kinds of poisons. Your Majesty, you are weak. Keep it in case you need it."

I took the brocade bag, stuffed it into the clothes room, and squinted my eyes: "Even you think I'm weak?"

"The subordinates dare not. It's just..."

"Okay, I don't mean to blame you. You are so loyal, it's too late for me to be moved."

Bai Li nodded: "It's just that this elixir is a bit taboo, it can't be taken with wine, otherwise it will be poisonous."

"Well, I see."

I went to the mirror, pointed to a robe, and asked Shunde to put it on for me.Although I am a deposed emperor, I have the name of the Supreme Emperor, so I wore a moon-white embroidered golden python robe, which is graceful and luxurious, with hidden courage, and will not overwhelm Xiao Lan. Fans made from the tail feathers of white peacocks hunted outside the pass are used to match clothes.

Since the Zen seat, I have rarely dressed so grandly, so that when I got off the sedan chair, I attracted the attention of the palace people.

The "sky boat" moored on the bank of the moat in front of me was full of brilliance, and the huge sails were like clouds, which made me feel a little unsteady for a while.

That was one of the rare times when our huge and complex Xiao royal family got along harmoniously.

While I was in a trance, a familiar figure suddenly appeared in my sight.

The man was tall and thin, with a handsome face, and one eye was blindfolded, like a pirate.

I was taken aback for a moment, I didn't expect to see him here, the man had already walked over.

This person is none other than King Nanyao who was relegated to Yingzhou as a vassal king, my seventh younger brother, Xiao Shun.

"Sixth brother, long time no see, don't come here without any problems."

I smiled, and an undercurrent surged in my heart: "Seventh brother... what wind brought you here from Yingzhou?"

Xiao Shun's one-eyed eyes flashed brightly: "I have made great contributions in helping the battle in Yingzhou, and the emperor summoned me back. Doesn't Sixth Brother know?"

"It's the lonely news that is too ill-informed."

Before I finished speaking, I was overwhelmed by the sound of ceremony and music from behind, and someone shouted - "The emperor is here!"

Xiao Shun and I walked aside, waited for Xiao Lan's imperial sedan chair to be carried onto the "Tianzhou", and then boarded the boat bridge.

This voyage is destined to be stormy.
