miscalculation

As soon as Xiao Cheng came out of the prison, he saw people from Zhao Wang's mansion waiting outside. He sat in the sedan chair and said nothing.When the group returned to King Zhao's Mansion, Gu Jinghua had been waiting at the door for a long time.The two went in hand in hand, only to see Gu Jinghua retreat from the crowd, saying: "My lord, you have suffered. It's a useless concubine, and I can't think of a way to save you."

"Princess must have a hard time here, but you are so serious, what's the matter with the entanglement?"

Gu Jinghua said: "Now I have two things to tell the prince, and they need to be dealt with as soon as possible. Not long ago, a white-clothed swordsman passed out in the ruined temple. Someone passed by and found that he had the token of our Zhao Palace on him, so he sent it. But I asked All the people didn't know him, only your entourage said that he had saved the prince's life outside the city. I dare not keep him in Zhao Wang's mansion. I was afraid of causing trouble, so I placed him in the general's mansion. Recently, my father has gone On the battlefield of the Dian Kingdom, there is no one in the mansion, and only sister Qingmo is a widow, which is also inappropriate."

When Xiao Cheng heard this, he knew it was Qin Xin. He was startled and felt that the matter was not simple, so he nodded and said, "Wait for me to rest for a day and go to meet him tomorrow, or stay or let go, there is a saying. Then What about the second thing?"

Gu Jinghua immediately told the story of Kou Chaoming being sent to the border, Xiao Cheng frowned again and again.He couldn't help feeling suspicious in his heart, how could it be such a coincidence that Kou Penghui had a conflict with Xiao Liang in the street, and even said something rude and killed him in the street, but it's fine if his father didn't blame him, why should Kou Chaoming be punished?Logically, Xiao Liang should know that he is his confidant, and with the friendship between the two, he would definitely plead for him.What's more, killing people in the street is not Xiao Liang's usual style. Could it be that he really hates me for using him to frame Xiao Zheng?

From this point of view, in the future, I'm afraid I have to be careful and can't trust him anymore.But thinking about how he used it like this, if the relationship between the two can remain the same, there must be a lie.Thinking of this, Xiao Cheng felt a little relieved. The road was originally very narrow.It's just that Xiao Liang has no backing, and now that his mother and brother are both dead, what he has is only the love of his father.He understood it, so he didn't think about it any more.

The next day, Xiao Cheng came to thank Xiao Yi, and went to Fengmian Pavilion to visit Xiao Liang.He had just entered the door when he saw Xiao Liang talking to a young guard, which was quite teasing.

"Xiao Qi, Brother Huang is here to see you."

Seeing him, Xiao Liang quickly waved his hand to screen everyone away, and dragged Xiao Cheng into the hall to sit down.He didn't wait for Xiao Cheng to say anything more, he quickly bowed and said: "Second Brother, forgive me, Xiao Qi was unable to go to Zhao Wang's Mansion in person, so Second Brother came to see me instead."

Seeing that he was so polite, Xiao Cheng felt even more uncomfortable, and thought that it was because of his use that the two people were separated.Although Xiao Liang was sad about the use, he also felt that the matter had been found out, and the second and fourth brothers were not punished. Although he was sad, it was inconvenient to express it.He was full of thoughts about Kou Chaoming's affairs, how to explain to Xiao Cheng.It's just because since Xiao Cheng was imprisoned this time, there have been too many cases of impeachment against him, which has already severely suppressed his faction.When Kou Chaoming's incident happened, it made things worse.

Xiao Cheng stood up, bowed in return, and said, "Second brother did something wrong before, I hope Xiaoqi will forgive me."

Xiao Liang quickly said: "Second Brother, don't say that again."

The two looked at each other and smiled, one was relieved, while the other was full of doubts.Xiao Cheng listened to Xiao Liang recount the matter of Yifeng Tower that day, and said: "I have already heard about this matter, and I can't blame the seventh brother. Kou Chaoming is incompetent in teaching his son, so he should be punished."

Hearing this, Xiao Liang felt relieved, knowing that after these things, it would be difficult to confide in Xiao Cheng in the future, so he thought about having less contact with his brothers, and less involvement.He doesn't want to get involved in the game, and now he wants to deal with all parties in a smooth manner, so that he can live in a stable and balanced way, and become a rich and noble prince as his mother and concubine wished.

The two talked for a while, and Xiao Cheng finally left. Halfway through the walk, he suddenly turned around.The young guard beside Xiao Liang stepped forward quickly, and after the two met palms, the young man began to struggle a bit.Xiao Cheng was also repelled several steps, and he was amazed at this person's skill.

"Second brother, what are you doing?" Xiao Liang asked.

"It's nothing. I heard that this guard was sent by your father to protect you. He killed Kou Peng. I just want to try his skills." Xiao Cheng said.

After hearing this, Xiao Liang knew that it was because of Yun Zhao's killing of Kou Peng that Xiao Cheng wanted to teach him a lesson.He hurriedly said: "Second brother, Yun Zhao was injured a few days ago to help my snow crow gather medicine, and it is not appropriate to use force now. Just now, I didn't know how to measure my palms with you. If I hurt you, I hope you won't hurt me." Remember the villain."

"Oh? He was injured, but he was able to beat me back just now. His martial arts are really strong, and he is worthy of being the father's man. Don't worry, the second brother won't care." Xiao Cheng said, and walked out. In the blink of an eye, he caught a glimpse of bloodstains under Yun Zhao's ribs.

Seeing him leaving, Xiao Liang quickly pulled Yun Zhao and asked, "Brother Second Emperor was just playing for fun, how could you fight him, thinking about it, you wouldn't really take your life, don't be so reckless next time. "

After hearing this, Yun Zhao shook his head again and again, and said: "Just now he tried his subordinates' skills, I'm afraid it was to vent his anger on Kou Peng, and His Royal Highness must also understand this. After all, he is King Zhao, and I am just a bodyguard. You shouldn't be fighting him."

Yun Zhao knew that when Xiao Cheng said that he was sent by His Majesty just now, he must have reminded Xiao Liang to beware of him, so he couldn't help feeling unhappy.Although he has been by Xiao Liang's side all the time, he is indeed at the disposal of Xiao Yi.It's just that a few days ago he was injured in order to save Qin Xin, Xiao Liang didn't use this to ask for guilt, but took medicine to save him, which made him very grateful.

The fact that he was injured for no reason has to be seriously considered. As long as Xiao Liang tells Xiao Yi and asks him to explain the reason, I am afraid that he will not be able to eat and walk around.Xiao Liang didn't plot against him for this, he was really grateful in his heart.Yun Zhao knew in his heart that Xiao Liang would never believe the lie that he was out to gather medicine and was injured only when he encountered bandits, but he didn't ask carefully, that was enough.Yun Zhao accepted this favor, and one day he will repay it.What's more, the murder of Kou Peng did bring Xiao Liang a lot of trouble.Although the two brothers had spoken just now and sent him away, he had already heard it clearly because of his deep inner strength.

Yun Zhao thought about it, Xiao Liang didn't have martial arts, so he didn't know that people with strong martial arts had far better ears than ordinary people, and Xiao Cheng must have thought that Xiao Liang had fully trusted him, so he allowed him to stand at such a distance to wait.This misunderstanding was not big or small, but what made Yun Zhao quite gratified was that Xiao Liang almost took the matter on himself when he was talking about the incident at Yifenglou that day, and didn't say his fault.In this way, Xiao Cheng may even suspect that Xiao Liang deliberately let himself kill Kou Peng.

Xiao Liang didn't have so many twists and turns in his heart, and he didn't understand why Yun Zhao suddenly became silent, so he didn't care.Seeing the blood oozing from Yun Zhao's ribs, he hurriedly said, "Go and change the medicine quickly, don't let anyone see it."

Yun Zhao relied on his martial arts, so he also wore thin clothes in winter, which is why blood oozes so easily.He was afraid that such a thing would happen again, so he got up quickly and wanted to go back to his room to change clothes.

The two were about to stand up when they saw Eunuch Lin rushing in, saluted Xiao Liang, and said, "Report to Your Highness, Eunuch Xu passed away last night."

When Xiao Liang heard this, he was very surprised: "Didn't you say that Eunuch Xu has improved a lot in the past few days, why did he die? This king wants to go to the eunuch's office to see him in person."

After hearing this, Eunuch Lin quickly knelt down and said, "Your Highness absolutely must not, how can you let His Highness go to such an unlucky place. The old slave will go and make some arrangements, and let them buy a good coffin for burial. It is a great favor. "

Xiao Liang felt sad and knew that he would be blocked if he wanted to go out, so he nodded.He thought that when he was a child, he would drag Eunuch Xu to fight, and now that he has gone, he felt a little sad.

The green sleeve was waiting on the side, seeing Xiao Liang's complexion, he quickly persuaded him: "Your Highness, why don't you rest for a while, don't think too much, don't forget Master Jingkong's advice, don't be overjoyed or sad."

Xiao Liang shook his head and said with a wry smile: "The concubine mother and the third brother are gone, isn't this king all right? Why do you need to worry, step back. Let me be quiet for a while."

Yun Zhao watched from the side, worried in his heart, but he had no choice but to leave with Eunuch Lin and Lu Xiu.They just walked to the door when Ji Lan came in.Seeing him, Luxiu hurriedly saluted him and said, "Young Master Ji came just in time, and I hope you can persuade our lord well."

Ji Lan heard her explain that Eunuch Xu is the person next to Concubine Hui, and since he was a child with Xiao Liang, he knew that Xiao Liang was sad at the moment.He wanted to go in to comfort him, but felt that it would be better to let him be quiet, so he shook his head and wanted to leave.

As soon as he lifted his footsteps, he heard Xiao Liang say from inside: "Is it Jingbo? Come in."
