Hongdi

Huiyao Building, a strange building with thirteen floors of different layouts, is the tallest building in Youcheng, and it is also the most heavily guarded place in the palace.Outsiders only know that this is the place where the emperor hides his treasures, but they don't know that besides the rare and exotic toys on the first to twelfth floors, there is also a secret cage on the thirteenth floor.There are only five people who can enter here: the emperor, the queen, two gentlemen, one civil and one military, and one palace man.Here, Hong Canke, Hong Canke's youngest prince, Yu Xun's younger brother and adopted son of Empress Yao Jingying, is locked.

The so-called "locked" is literally imprisoned.Canke has never left this building. The only thing he owns is the No.13 floor of this Huiyao Building, and the only thing he can see is the scenery outside the window.But he did not live a life isolated from the world. Someone would continuously tell him about the events of the previous dynasty, and tell him how to think and how to deal with it.The strict teaching of the two gentlemen was almost cold-blooded. All he learned was how to deal with things neatly, and his ultimate task was to overthrow all the princes and become the next king...

He once imagined that when he completed this task, his father and mother would pay attention to him and love him because of his happiness, but he was wrong.Those two people never gave even a sliver of love. After scolding and punishing fiercely again and again, what he got was endless coldness forever.

Once, he couldn't stand trying to escape, but what he got in return was a punishment he couldn't bear at all.Until the age of six, a silver-haired kid barged in and tried to take him away, but he let him go.Because he finally remembered that the figure that made him warm was not the father and mother he expected, but this seemingly weak boy.So, after the two gentlemen found out, he let go of that slender but extremely powerful hand, and he couldn't harm him...

He never thought that the emperor would let him out so early. Although the medicine that the palace man forcibly gave him made him weak, he was still very happy because he could see the person who made him feel warm again...

This was the first royal dinner for no reason since Yu Xun could remember.The people who came were the same as in the past, the emperor, the empress, the concubines of the palaces, Cook Xiao, Han Qi, Han Qi's sister, Princess Han Ming who married Situ Shao, and the consort, Minister of the Household Department Situ Shao.Only this time, there was an extra empty seat beside him...

Under Xun Shuiyin's careful nurturing, Yu Xun's injury mostly healed on the way back to Beijing.But Bei Yaofei's departure made him feel lifeless, so the whole person became dizzy and weak.After entering the city of You, he knew that what he had to deal with was the emperor, Han Qi, and a queen who didn't show much. The younger brother in the palace and the entire Hong royal family.For this reason, he worked hard and actively cooperated with Xun Shuiyin's treatment, and the injury was almost healed.It's just that in the dead of night, the wound will be a little dull and unbearable.

The emperor looked at the people who had already arrived at the table, glanced at the lifeless Yu Xun, and said loudly: "Yu Xun is the first among your brothers to get married, and you two should hurry up. Just tell your father, I will make the decision for you."

Cook Xiao and Han Qi saluted at the same time to thank them.The emperor chatted for a while, but never moved his chopsticks.Yu Xun was not very hungry either, but after listening to it, he became a little sleepy.Just when he was drowsy, the emperor's words woke him up suddenly.

"You brothers and sisters, do you still remember that there is a younger brother?"

Han Qi was the first to answer: "Father is talking about the sixth younger brother Canke?"

The emperor nodded, "He has been in poor health and has recuperated in the harem for many years. I want you to meet him today."

For this younger brother, neither Cook Xiao nor Han Qi had ever seen him, nor had he paid attention to it.After all, how capable is a seven-year-old child?

Han Qi smiled and said: "Father didn't say anything, but my son had already intended to visit the sixth younger brother. I don't know if he is in better health now?"

Cook Xiao raised her slender eyebrows, looked at Yu Xun who was expressionless, and said nothing.

The emperor squinted his eyes and looked at Yu Xun carefully for a long while, seeing that he was still icy and cold, he couldn't help feeling a little disappointed, "Well, I can't die for the time being."

Yu Xun listened, his heart sank, and a bad premonition arose spontaneously, but on the surface, he still looked like he had nothing to do with him.

The emperor said to Li Gui, the chief eunuch standing by his side, "Go, tell him not to kneel, come in."

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Xuan has been punished to kneel in the Tai Temple for three days. The servant is afraid that His Highness is weak and cannot come."

The emperor snorted coldly, and said lightly: "I have to lift him up too, I have something to tell him."

"The slave obeys the order."

Yu Xun listened quietly, still expressionless.But my heart was already overwhelmed, and I was too worried, "Cheng'er is sick, and he was fined to kneel for three days, what on earth does the emperor want to do?! He is still a child! I hope Sheng'er's lucky star shines brightly, and nothing serious will happen. "

The emperor narrowed his eyes angrily, and stared straight at Yu Xun.He knew that Yu Xun always remembered this younger brother, and it was precisely because of Canke's existence that he would only pretend to be stupid and never act rashly.But this time, he actually hid [-] soldiers secretly without telling him. Although the number was small, it was enough to bother him.

"Yu Xun, don't you want to see this brother?" The emperor's cold voice was tinged with threats, but only Yu Xun could hear it in the whole hall.

He raised his listless eyes and nodded blankly, "Father arranged it."

The emperor was taken aback, and was very surprised by Yu Xun's changes. He remembered Yu Xun in the past. Although he pretended to be weak and incompetent all day long, those clear eyes were full of splendor, which made people dare not despise him.But now, there is bottomless darkness in those dazed eyes. It was just a battle, but it made this person so decadent.His intuition told him that things might be more difficult than he imagined, and that Canke might not be Yu Xun's deathbed anymore...

Han Qi frowned and looked at the turbulent emperor and Yu Xun in the dark. Without thinking for a while, he said, "Father, I don't know what the sixth younger brother did wrong. He will be fined to kneel for three days? Isn't he in poor health?"

The emperor said casually: "I didn't do anything wrong, I just stole a knife from me and hid it."

Han Qi's mind turned quickly, and he thought, Father always only kept swords, why did he suddenly pay attention to a knife? "Father, my son thinks, I'm afraid the sixth brother is playing for fun, not stealing."

The emperor sneered and said, "Hey, why, do you feel distressed?"

Han Qi was stunned for a moment, she just casually said something official, why did it sound like the emperor was very angry?He didn't know that the emperor was really angry at the unresponsive Yu Xun.Yu Xun secretly calculated in his heart, always feeling that the 'knife' meant something.

Following the sound of procrastinating footsteps, a boy in black limped into the hall on tiptoe.Han Qi looked up, and saw that the child was taller than the average seven-year-old child, with a solid and well-proportioned figure, but a sickly sallow face.But when he looked at it, he felt a little weird. Although the child's lavender long hair was much lighter than his and Xiao Xiao's hair, it was still normal. What was abnormal was his face, no matter how you looked at it. Yu Xun's appearance as a child.

Cook Xiao also saw it, he winked at Yu Xun who was opposite him, but the person didn't respond, and now he began to worry about, "Why does this child never see anyone, is it because he is afraid of involving someone, or is it Will it cause a secret that should not be spread? But seeing the fierce attitude of the father towards him, and the appearance of Empress Yao ignoring him, what must be hidden behind this child?"

Canke walked into the hall, knelt down and saluted slowly, "My son Canke, I pay my respects to my father and mother, and to all my brothers and sisters."

The emperor picked up a glass of wine and sipped it slowly, until the boy's body began to tremble unconsciously, then he put down the glass and glanced at Yu Xun.Seeing that the man still didn't respond, he couldn't help being annoyed, and said to Canke: "I asked you to come, did you just kneel down?!"

Canke had indeed been kneeling for three days and three nights, but it wasn't because he stole any knife, there was no reason at all. The emperor wanted him to kneel, so he could only kneel.The cold stone slab had already made his legs feel like pins and needles, but he didn't know how to answer, the emperor never said the reason for letting him out.

"Father forgives the sin, but my son is dull, I don't know the father's intentions, so I ask the father to express it."

"Didn't your master tell you what to do?"

Can Ke quickly searched for the fragments in her memory, and after making sure that there was nothing missing, she continued to kowtow, "Father, I know my mistake, and I forgot my teacher's instructions, please punish me."

Han Qi looked at Can Ke's small figure shaking like a sieve, and couldn't bear it, "Father, the sixth brother is still young, please be lenient and forgive him."

The emperor frowned, and glanced at him coldly, feeling displeased.What he wanted to see was Yu Xun's panic-stricken and frightened appearance, but in the end, Han Qi was the one who felt sorry for Can Ke and pleaded for him?

"Forget it, let's forget it." The emperor swung the wine glass, leaned forward, and said: "Hanqi, your swordsmanship is good, I will teach your sixth brother, and I will also help this banquet."

Han Qi had the feeling that Monk Zhang Er couldn't figure it out. He was impolitely dumbfounded for a long time, until the emperor's gloomy and cold eyes made his heart tremble, and then he realized, "Father, the sixth brother is young, and besides, he is sick. body, my son thinks it's not right."

"Why not." The emperor said, waved his hand, and ordered someone to take two swords, "Just click and stop, let's start."

Hearing what the emperor said, Can Ke understood that the ultimate task given to him by the husband was to bring down all the princes. The emperor's intention today was probably to get him to get rid of Han Qi.However, not to mention that he was not strong enough when he was young, even in his current state, it would be difficult for him to beat Han Qi.He felt a little bitter in his heart, but he still got up slowly and took the sword, "My son takes orders. I also ask Brother Huang to be merciful."

Han Qi looked at the child's crooked body, and couldn't help frowning. She wanted to evade a few more words, but the emperor's gaze was unquestionable.He forced a smile, took the sword from the table, and saluted the emperor: "My son is not talented, and I have made a fool of myself in front of my father."

"Well, let me remind you, don't underestimate your brother."

Han Qi twitched the corners of his mouth, feeling upset, the emperor made him feel very embarrassed, as if it was obvious that he would lose.But if I think about it carefully, if I win, I will be bullying the small, if I lose, I will lose my face, and it is really difficult to handle.

Can Ke cupped her hands to Han Qi, and said flatly, "Brother Emperor, please enlighten me."
