Ying Yi was still a step too late. When he knew that Emperor Chu was missing, the imperial city was already surrounded by imperial guards, and the city was full of disturbances.

Ying Yi was very anxious, now that the whole city is under martial law, no matter whether someone is setting up a trick or not, right now is definitely not a good time to send the Right Prime Minister to Kongchen Temple.

He didn't believe that Lu Zheng would rob the Emperor of Chu, since Lu Zheng dared to break into the palace, he did so with murderous intentions, and robbing the Emperor of Chu would only add to the burden.

But when he saw the blood stains on Jin's corner, he felt that he was wrong.

The bloodstain was very shallow, drying up into an inconspicuous red, but it turned the "guessing killing intent" in his heart into a concrete form.

The little master will never be able to please anyone. Lu Zheng and Chu Fu are heroes and traitors in the eyes of the common people, but to Chu Huaijin, they are all the same. A bloody feud and a wolfish ambition, in their eyes, Chu Huaijin is a damned person.

Ying Yi searched the entire imperial city, but couldn't find any trace of Chu Huaijin. He even thought about exchanging Zhou Yuan's "corpse" for Chu Huaijin, but he didn't know who had the little master.

He could only wait, but after waiting for so long, a killing sign came, and the sentence "everyone in the world wants to kill him" came.

Unable to suppress the anger and hatred in his heart, Ying Yi suddenly raised his palm and struck in the direction of Xiao Heng, and the wind brought by his palm blew out the Rudou's lights.

He launched the ruthless moves, but Yingyi was shocked to realize that Lu Zheng didn't dodge.

It's not that he can't avoid it, but the kind of... calmness that he wants to bear this palm forcefully.

Ying Yi didn't stop, he didn't know why Lu Zheng stopped his movements, but the phrase "Everyone in the world wants to kill him" came from this mouth, even if it was just a sentence that the world is used to, he couldn't Just let him pass so lightly.

Ying Yiwei put his hand aside, and that palm brushed against Xiao Heng's shoulder and stabbed it. The sharp wind of the palm cut his clothes three or four times. on the ground.

But Xiao Heng just stood there without saying a word, looking like he didn't feel the pain, with a sense of oppression that seemed to be born with him.

Endless silence.

After a long time, Xiao Heng seemed to wake up and walked towards the couch step by step.

He opened the dark box under the pillow by himself, and took out a white jade blue and white porcelain vase. When he straightened up, Ying Yi took out a sword from the gap along the wall at the side of the screen, and laid it across Xiao Heng's neck. superior.

But Xiao Heng turned around close to the sword edge as if he hadn't seen the sword blade on his neck that could end him at any time, startling Ying Yi so much that he subconsciously shifted away a few points.

Xiao Heng held the porcelain bottle, put his fingers together in the palm of his hand, rubbed it lightly a few times, raised his eyes lightly and said, "How many times a day? When should I take it?"

A gust of wind suddenly blew up outside the window, hitting the coffin for a long time, making a little creaking sound, if it wasn't for the quietness of Ning Xin Hall, Ying Yi would have thought he had misheard.

"What are the taboos to eat?" Seeing that Yingyi didn't reply, Xiao Heng spoke again.

Ying Yi's tense mind was rushed by Xiao Heng's unsalty words, and most of it was relieved in an instant, but there were some troublesome guesses in his heart.

"What do you mean, General?" Ying Yi didn't retract his sword, the two of them were still at war, but they said something that didn't fit "appropriate".

"Emperor Chu's shadow guard?" The corners of Xiao Heng's mouth raised slightly.

Things were worse than he had imagined, but they were also better than he had imagined. At least that person had someone he could use around him.

As soon as Xiao Heng finished speaking, the blade was a little closer to his neck.

He was not afraid of this thing, but he couldn't speak when he was restrained, so Xiao Heng raised his hand and stuck two fingers on the sword.

With a light flick, the cold sword edge was instantly covered with dense cracks, breaking into several pieces and falling to the ground.

Ying Yi was horrified, and subconsciously wanted to attack head-on again, when he heard the sentence "Don't bother, you know that with your current kung fu, you can't beat me".

There was no sarcasm or arrogance in Xiao Heng's words, and he was so calm that he was a little indifferent. Ying Yi stared at Xiao Heng, watching him wander around the palace aimlessly, and his confusion grew stronger.

After a while, when Xiao Heng turned around from behind the screen, he had a black feather embroidered gold cloak, a purple tripod hand warmer, and a few grinding incense sticks in his hands for some reason.

Shadow One: ...

During these cold winters and the city's martial law, General Kill Zheng came to this place to steal these worthless things?

The things in the palace, especially those used by the Emperor Chu, are of course the best, but compared to their lives, they are indeed worthless.

"This sword is useless, since it was left in his palace to protect himself, he still needs to spend some effort to find it outside the palace." Xiao Heng said suddenly.

Chu Fu felt that he had raised and disabled Chu Huaijin, and it was difficult to distinguish between good and bad people, not to mention good or bad swords. If you don't mean it, it will only fool you. These weapons can be seen but cannot be used.

Xiao Heng glanced at Ying Yi lightly.

Inexplicably, Yingyi felt that General Kill Zheng didn't just want to say that "swords are useless", but also that "people are also useless".

"General, what exactly are you going to Ningxin Palace for?" Seeing Xiao Heng laying out those things on the square table and counting them one by one, like a burglar counting stolen goods, Ying Yi's expression became more and more complicated.

Xiao Heng didn't raise his head, his hand was still on the cloak, and he said softly: "You haven't answered my question yet, how many times a day should you take this medicine for him? When should you take it? Are there any taboos to eat?"

To "he", who this "he" refers to is self-evident.

Only then did Ying Yi confirm that he had been duped by Killing Zheng.

Lu Zheng set himself a trap, and he just got in.

Ying Yi trembled a little, recalling what he had said just now, he couldn't help being startled, it was because he forgot his identity, and his heart was so weak.

If it is not the general but Chu Fu's heartache, he will push the little master into the abyss with his own hands, and even death cannot atone for his sin.

But Ying Yi didn't have time to reflect on himself, and the eyes he looked at Xiao Heng sank to the extreme and became a little dull.

Since Xiao Heng already knew that the right minister was still alive, shouldn't the most important thing now be to inquire about his right minister's whereabouts?Why do you still have the time to ask him these things?

"You don't have to doubt me. If I really want to do something, you won't be able to live now." Xiao Heng said quietly, his hands paused, and he said a sentence: "The Emperor Chu is your master, and I am also your master." master."

Shadow One's pupils trembled.

Xiao Heng looked down at the porcelain vase in his hand, and said, "This thing is useless to me. If it wasn't for Emperor Chu, why would I seek it?"

After saying that, he finally raised his head to look at Ying Yi, neither dodging nor dodging, the deep look in his eyes was dripping with the flickering candlelight, and he said word by word: "Tell me, what do you know."

Surrounded by Xiao Heng's aura, Ying Yi suppressed his fear and said coldly: "If the general really came to the Hall of Mental Cultivation at the master's will, why would you ask your subordinates what they know?"

"Because your master likes me and is thin-skinned, and doesn't want to drag me into this muddy water." Xiao Heng took a sip of his tea.

Shadow One: ...

"But since I have already stepped in, if I don't stir up the muddy water, I won't pull this body." Xiao Heng lighted the table with his hand one after another.

"The general thinks I will believe you?" Ying Yi lowered his eyes.

"You can only trust me, you have no choice." Xiao Heng's tone was light, and the words that were supposed to be threatening were strong, but they were said like a light question.

After a while, Ying Yi finally sighed, just like what Lu Zheng said, he had no choice but to trust him.

"What does the general want to know." Ying Yi whispered.

"What happened to his body?" Xiao Heng frowned slightly, "Who poisoned him?"

Even though he had settled his mind, Ying Yi was still a little confused. When did the relationship between Master and General Killing Zheng become so close?It is obvious that they have not even seen each other several times.

"Master was congenitally deficient, and was pushed into the cold pond by design to leave the root of the disease. When Chuchu succeeded to the throne, King Ding mixed some undetectable poisons into his food under the guise of nourishing his body. When we found out, it was already gone. late."

"Later, Chu Fu suppressed the courtiers everywhere, and the master had no choice but to take a risky position in order to keep those loyal and good. Except for Duke Yu, who was quickly executed by Chu Fu, Sima Qing and Yan Shangshu were rescued by the master and sent out of the imperial city. "

Xiao Heng knew that for the emperor, benevolence and justice cannot be discussed as good or bad, people, ministers, countries, and affairs cannot be discussed as good or evil, only pros and cons.

The Zhou family and the Xiao family have been ministers all their lives. He didn't learn by fate, and finally learned it by touching the flesh and blood of his predecessors. But when he put these "ruling methods" on that person, he felt that It hurts even to breathe.

At first he thought that there were no innocent people in the imperial city, but now?

The person with the deepest "sin" is the most innocent person in the end.

"But the master's body is almost exhausted, we have no choice but to find this nourishing but also poisonous thing, so the general asked how many times a day to eat, what are the taboos, the subordinates really don't know."

"If there is room for change, I wouldn't use it to hang on." Ying Yi sighed, "Master, he doesn't care about eating, and he doesn't care about taking medicine. It's futile."

"A few days ago, in order to save the right minister, I was exhausted and took a lot of medicine, so I stopped for a few days."

……

Xiao Heng didn't know how he got out of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and what Ying Yi had said was repeated in his ears.

Kneeling by the Boshui River for an hour...

Dying signs, five labors and seven injuries...

This life, this surname, and this name were all given by Yun Chu, I need to give it back...

Everyone in the world said that Yun Chu was in decline, that there was no good end for loyal and good people, and the common people prayed for a happy life for them, but none of them prayed for this young emperor.

Xiao Heng didn't know what Chu Huaijin was thinking when he knelt on the bank of the Boshui River, but it must have been hard to bear the eyes full of tears, the ears full of wailing, and the lines of "a foolish king is in power".

He only knew that he had to be nicer to him, and even better. If he couldn't do it, he would do it himself. If he couldn't kill him, he would kill it himself. All the dirty charges would be borne by himself.

A foolish ruler who is "incompetent" and a general who is "unscrupulous" are a natural match, aren't they?

When Xiao Heng came back, Wen Yan was sitting by the window, and when he heard the movement behind him, he turned around and saw Xiao Heng walking towards him with a smile on his face, his heart sank in half.

"You..." Originally Wen Yan wanted to ask you if you had encountered anything in Ningxin Palace, but when he saw Xiao Heng took out the jade tripod hand warmer, Ningshen incense, big cloak, candied haws, Candied fruit, and some gadgets used by ordinary people to amuse children, all the suppressed curiosity came back again.

What the hell did this person do?
