Lord, your mask fell off

Chapter 1242 The Fall and Growth of Love

When Emperor Xixuan left and the palace returned to silence, Xiao Ran sat on the bed, folded his hands on the quilt, stared blankly at unknown places, but in his mind he was thinking about what his father said when he was leaving if.

"However, you are too kind-hearted, which is both an advantage and a fatal flaw, so from today onwards, you should seek more benefits for yourself, and don't always think about others. Whatever you want, go for it. You have the capital I also have this ability, sometimes it is necessary to use some means, as long as the goal can be achieved, the process is not important."

"So the emperor told you this today to let you know the heavy responsibility on your shoulders now, so you must consciously correct your mentality in the future. You are different from everyone else. You will be the whole person in the future. The ruler of the country, you have to look far away, no longer just focus on the present, when you meet a Buddha, you kill a Buddha, when you meet a god, you kill a god, and all those who stand in your way must be eradicated."

Xiao Ran slowly digested Emperor Xixuan's words.

Because his father promised him that he would take Qingyan into the palace, and because his father was the person he admired the most since he was a child, he firmly believed in what he said today.

He slowly swept away the previous depression and loneliness, his eyes shone with astonishing light, and the aura of his body also changed. If you are familiar with him, you will find that there is a sharp look in his eyes, like a bird. The newly enlightened little tiger has its own sharp claws.

If someone blocks yourself, then solve it all.

At this time, Emperor Xixuan was on his way back.

"Your Majesty, do you need a sedan chair?" Eunuch Cao asked.

Emperor Xixuan waved his hand, "No need, just walk."

"Yes."

"Cao Zhi, do you think you can understand what I mean?" Emperor Xixuan looked at the distant sky, the clear sky and misty clouds, and suddenly said.

Cao Zhi was slightly taken aback, just now when His Majesty said what His Majesty said to the Fourth Prince in the palace, he was right next to him, at that time he really wanted to dig a hole to hide himself in.

Because every sentence he listened to was about the secrets of the royal family, about the future of Xixuan, and the selection of the crown prince. If it got out, no matter what word he heard, it would cause turmoil in the court.

Eunuch Cao lowered his head slightly, and said affirmatively, "This old slave thinks His Highness Fourth is very smart, so he should be able to understand."

Love can make a person grow, and it can also make a person fall. He couldn't guess what the fourth prince would become, but when he left the hall just now, he saw that the aura of the fourth prince had changed. He knew what kind of changes this would bring, good or bad, but he couldn't help feeling worried for His Royal Highness.

Your Majesty is a person who can do what he can say. He received the information today and was extremely furious at Chu Qingyan's actions in Liancheng and on the battlefield. In the future, he will definitely commit treason, even treason, and his Majesty has already become extremely wary of the King of England, staring at him all the time. Now that this happened, it is like the seeds planted before, Finally sprouted, and then it was time to cut the weeds.

Eunuch Cao sighed softly in his heart. In fact, His Royal Highness should not have returned to Beijing, and should have gone far away.

"Cao Zhi, do you know why I broke their engagement?"

Emperor Xixuan's unexpected words made Eunuch Cao very confused, "I don't know."

A gust of breeze blew up the corner of the dragon robe, and the flying dragon with its fangs and claws seemed to be moving through the clouds vividly. Its sharp eyes seemed to be looking down at the bottom. It was cold and majestic, but ferocious and brutal. Dare to look directly.

"Chu Qingyan is able to help Xu'er make plans and lead troops in battle, which proves that she is a very courageous woman. In Xixuan, there are very few women like this who are capable of writing and martial arts, and have the demeanor of a general. However, He's not decisive enough, and he lacks someone who can point it out, Chu Qingyan is just qualified."

Although he couldn't bear Chu Qingyan's crime of deceiving the king and concealing the right, he admired her talent very much, and Ran'er liked her very much. If she could keep her by Ran'er's side and help him, then the world would be handed over to her. With him, he, the father, can feel at ease.That's why at the beginning, he didn't question the two of them immediately.

When Chu Qingyan was betrothed to Xu'er before, she didn't notice anything unusual about this woman, but now she realizes that keeping her by Xu'er's side is the biggest disaster.

Although it was unkind to do so, he had to do it for the sake of Xixuan's country and for his own sake.

Eunuch Cao waited for a long time after finishing speaking, but His Majesty did not answer, so he raised his head and looked over.

At this time, Emperor Xixuan said quietly, "You don't need to know the answer."

Eunuch Cao bowed his head immediately, "Yes."

"Let's go back to the palace."

Ming Huang's figure gradually faded away.

In the study of Yiwang Mansion.

Xiao Hou is reviewing the account books recently sent by the shop below. Because revenge requires a lot of manpower and material resources, he has a lot of property under his hands, and the profits he earns are basically used to support his secret organization and raise soldiers for thousands of days. for a while.

Looking at the thick stack of ledgers in front of him, he suddenly thought of Pang Zhijing's silly smiling face, and he couldn't help thinking, doesn't this little rascal like money?Just let her take care of it!When she enters the palace, he will hand over all these properties to her, and he can imagine how she will come to him crying with a sad face.

He couldn't help but slightly curled his lips.

Thinking about it this way, the head that was a little dizzy after drinking alcohol before suddenly became sober, and the person was not so tired.

Just when he was about to continue the review, one of the scattered dark threads returned to the mansion and appeared in front of him.

"What's the matter?" Xiao Hou put down the notebook in his hand, frowned slightly and looked at his subordinates. Generally speaking, if there is no important matter, they will not show up easily, in order to avoid being discovered.

"My lord, a batch of weapons we secretly forged in Qingyang were exposed. An official led a team to conduct a routine inspection and accidentally found our things. Now all the craftsmen are imprisoned in prison and are facing interrogation. I don't know Will they keep their mouths shut?" Dark Thread asked worriedly.

Xiao Hou was taken aback, since it can be found out, so what are the craftsmen doing down there!
"The officials in Qingyang City are all my father's people. They can't get in and can't dredge the relationship. If they are discovered, it will be very bad for us."

The dark line was a little anxious, "My lord, what should we do now?"

"The people you ordered in Luo Qingyang, let them bring people into the Qingyang prison in person, be sure to kill the grass and roots! But be careful not to be discovered."

Xiao Hou ordered in a cold voice.

Dark Line immediately nodded and retreated.

If this matter is not handled properly, I am afraid that what he has done these years will be exposed.

Xiao Hou's eyes were like ink on the table, too thick to melt.
