Hongdi

The emperor twirled the emerald finger on his thumb, half-closed his cold eyes, and looked coldly at Yu Xun who hurriedly admitted his mistake, with a smile that was not a smile.

Yu Xun felt that his heart was about to stop beating, not because he was scared, but because he was worried and worried.Now, he wants no one, no soldiers, what can he use to bargain with the emperor?Canke was young and knew little about the emperor, so he didn't realize the seriousness of the matter at all, which made him even more passive now.After thinking about it, he couldn't think of any other way except to plead guilty.

"Father, if you have any questions, I will definitely tell you everything. I just ask Father to let Xiao Ke go. He is still young and ignorant."

The emperor nodded in satisfaction, and said lightly: "If you know your mistakes, you can correct them. There is nothing good about it."

"Father is magnanimous." Yu Xun gritted his teeth secretly, wondering what strange tricks the emperor would make.

"I'm here to ask you, how did you send Canke out of the palace?"

Yu Xun secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and calmly said: "Go back to the emperor, my son ordered someone to carry Xiao Ke on his back and climb over the wall."

"Over the wall? Hehe, what a great idea!" the emperor said, winking at Li Gui, "Li Gui, I'm really curious about this 'skinning' punishment, you go get a dagger and prepare it, I think have a look."

"The servant complies with the order." After Li Gui said, he turned and left with big strides.

Yu Xun was so frightened that he sat down on the ground, sweating profusely.But he didn't dare to tell about the secret way, not to mention that Bei Yaofei was hiding there, but since the secret way connected Yiwang Mansion and Hongbao Pavilion, he couldn't tell it.

Reluctantly wiping the sweat off his face, Yu Xun kowtowed again and saluted, "Father Huang Mingjian, my son and minister are telling the truth, and there is absolutely no intention of deceiving."

"Yu Xun, do you really think that my old eyes are dim and I don't know anything?" The emperor squeezed out a sentence through his teeth coldly, looked at Li Gui who had gone and returned, and nodded, "Since One insists that he is a grassroots person, and the other insists that he sent people out from above the wall. You don’t have to worry about it, just take that grassroots person and practice your skills. Well done, I will reward you.”

"Yes." Li Gui elongated his voice on purpose, glanced at the horrified Yu Xun, and led someone to take off Canke's clothes.

It wasn't until the skin on her chest touched the cold black marble floor tiles that Canke realized that she had miscalculated. The emperor was really angry this time and wanted to use herself for surgery.In a panic, he couldn't break free from the eunuchs who were holding him down. There were shocking pains from his broken wrist, and his already exhausted spirit could no longer hold on.He thought to himself that since his elder brother had already admitted it, there was no need for him to persist.

Just when the icy cold blade touched his back and neck and was about to slit his flesh, he gave up the last bit of resistance and shouted repeatedly: "Father, please forgive me! Father, please forgive me! My son knows his mistake!"

The emperor waved his hand and told Li Gui and others to stop first, but he didn't let them go, "Hehe, this time I admit that I am not a cheap man?"

"Yes. Father, I was wrong. I just yearn for a free life outside the palace and want to have more fun, so I lied about being the youngest son of the Li family. Please forgive me."

"Well, let me ask you, how did Yu Xun send you out of the palace?"

Canke tilted her face, looked at Yu Xun, saw that he bowed his head in silence, and said, "Go back to father, it's one of my brother's guards, who turned over the wall with his son on his back."

The emperor frowned in displeasure, and snorted coldly, "You two really are like brothers. Li Gui, let's do it."

Li Gui responded, the sharp blade pierced directly into the flesh, bleeding profusely...

Canke screamed and struggled, but it was all in vain...

Yu Xun didn't expect that he would hurt his younger brother with a lie.Seeing Can Ke being tortured, he didn't even think about it, and rushed towards her like crazy, but was stopped by several strong eunuchs.In desperation, he fought with those people desperately with both fists and kicks, and shouted at the emperor hoarsely: "Let my brother go, you let my brother go, I will tell you everything, tell them everything, let them go!" Stop it! Stop it!"

The emperor just quietly admired the chaos in the room, watched Li Gui cut Canke's back with a knife expressionlessly, watched the dazzling red flow all over the ground, watched Yu Xun's crazy noise, Seeing the tears of despair wet the child's skirt.And he, indifferent...

Yu Xun stopped the quarrel, glared at the emperor who seemed to be out of the world, and sneered, "You won't kill Xiao Ke. If he dies, you can no longer hold me back, and there is nothing you can do about it." Use me to check and balance Han Qi, Huai Rou, and control the entire court!"

The emperor nodded slightly, he likes Yu Xun like this. "go on."

"I know that although this is the prince's palace, it is the residence of the 'Deposed Prince'. The real prince's palace is the Huiyao Building where you lived when you were young. Therefore, even if Xiao Ke doesn't come to grab my position as the prince, you will For him. If you kill him now, who will take over your throne? Could it be me, or my two brothers? Or, do you plan to have another one?"

"Hehe, I know quite a lot. I do intend to pass on Canke, but he is disobedient, and it would be a pity to throw it away. As for who I will pass on after a hundred years, that's not something you should consider."

"You!" Yu Xun bit the corner of his mouth angrily, looked at his younger brother who fainted several times and then woke up from the pain, and said anxiously: "Don't you just want to know where the secret road in the palace leads? I'll take you Just go! You let Xiao Ke go!"

"Well, I do know that there is a secret passage here, and I have sent people to look for it, but unfortunately, I have too many incompetent people under my command, and I have never found it."

"Your Majesty, can you tell them to stop first? I will do whatever you want."

"Well, okay. Don't be in a hurry about the secret way. You first invite that ugly beauty Zhao and let me have a look." The emperor took a sip of tea and continued: "Remember, don't put on makeup. Look at her plain face."

Yu Xun forcibly swallowed a breath of anger, and said harshly: "Let my brother go first!"

As soon as the emperor waved his hand, Li Gui put away the dagger, and the eunuchs who were holding down Canke also withdrew.Yu Xun broke free from the two eunuchs who were restraining him, rushed over, and hugged him in his arms.

Can Ke grasped Yu Xun's skirt feebly, her eyes were a little loose, but still stubbornly opened wide.Yu Xun wiped the cold sweat off his face in a panic, and simply bandaged his wound with the clothes thrown on the ground, feeling extremely distressed.

"Cheng'er, I'm sorry, it's my brother who hurt you, I'm sorry."

A large piece of flesh on Canke's back was torn off, and her fair skin was dyed a coquettish rose color, which made Yuxun's green eyes suddenly turn crimson.

"Don't be afraid, Cheng'er, even if you lose everyone, I want you to be fine!"

Can Ke smiled foolishly. He resisted the bursts of darkness and said intermittently: "Brother, I don't... want to... go back, Huiyaolou, I want...to be with you."

Yu Xun nodded, "Brother knows, don't talk about it, just leave other things to my brother."

The emperor gave them a disgusted look, "Yu Xun, where is that Zhao Meiren?"

Yu Xun glanced at him contemptuously, and said to the outside: "He Borui, bring Zhao Yin'er here!"

He Borui, who was waiting outside the door, quickly agreed and ran to Xun Shuiyin's place.

Yu Xun looked at the emperor, and asked tentatively: "The emperor cares so much about that secret passage, isn't it just because it leads to the outside of the palace?"

The emperor drank his tea without raising his eyes, and said calmly: "Don't you know a lot? Do you still need to ask me?"

Yu Xun was puzzled, this secret passage was divided into two parts, one part belonged to the imperial palace, and the beginning was a secret room, which was where Bei Yaofei was hiding now.Behind the secret chamber is a labyrinth with many complicated and messy roads, only one of which leads to the outside of the palace.The other part belonged to Cook Xiaoxiu, one side was connected to the exit of the secret road, and the other side was connected to Hongbao Pavilion, and passed by Prince Yi's Mansion in the middle.

He has walked this road countless times, but he didn't find anything special. Why did the emperor use this method to make himself tell about the secret way?Could it be that there are still unknown secrets in this secret passage?For a while, the word sequence couldn't figure out the mystery.It's just that his intuition tells him that there is definitely something wrong with this secret passage.

With a big belly, Xun Shuiyin staggered into the room with the support of an eunuch, knelt down and saluted, "My concubine pays my respects to my father."

"Look up and let me take a good look."

Xun Shuiyin frowned and lowered her head even lower.The emperor asked her to come to see him without makeup, and she knew it was wrong.The emperor is notoriously lustful, although he thought he wouldn't tease his daughter-in-law, but he was a little worried...

"I want you to look up, are you deaf!"

Xun Shuiyin was startled by the emperor's sudden angry words, and hurriedly looked up.

The emperor looked at it obsessively for a while, and then smiled with satisfaction.Although Xun Shuiyin is not all over the country, she is also a natural beauty, a generation of beauties.And her plump and handsome figure is exactly what the emperor likes.

Yu Xun glanced at her worriedly, but saw that the eunuch following her was actually the eunuch who sneaked into the palace and accompanied her day and night.The emerald green eyes flickered imperceptibly, and the corners of Yu Xun's mouth curled up secretly, thinking about it.

"Father, if you don't dislike that this woman has been ruined by my son, my son is willing to dedicate her to my father, and I only ask my father to forgive my son and Xiaoke for deceiving me."

Xun Shuiyin was frightened into a fool. She knew that Yu Xun hated her and that Yu Xun didn't want to talk to her, but she never thought that he would give her away as a gift of atonement.The eunuch beside her was also full of astonishment, but there was still no expression on his stiff face.

The emperor looked at the fainted Can Ke in Yu Xun's arms, and said calmly, "Let the imperial doctor treat him."

Yu Xun finally breathed a sigh of relief, and said to the He Bo brothers and sisters who were still guarding outside the door: "He Bomeng, hurry up and ask the imperial doctor; He Borui, come in quickly."

The two acted in response.

Yu Xun carefully put Canke into He Borui's arms, gave her some advice in a low voice, and then hurriedly sent her away.

Xun Shuiyin looked at Yu Xun looking worriedly at He Borui's leaving figure, and smiled wryly, if you could trade yourself for his safety, it would be worth it, but...She gently stroked her protruding abdomen, feeling sad in her heart, but what should I do with this unborn child?
