Lord, your mask fell off

Chapter 1316 An old friend visits Dao Xinmi

As soon as the guard finished speaking, the Linglong lock in Xiao Hou's hand suddenly tightened.

"Bring people in!"

There was a slight tremor in the cold voice.

Over the years, he has been struggling to find evidence that the Luo family was framed, and wanted to reverse the case for them. Unfortunately, it has been a long time, and the people related to that year have been buried in the loess, and the remaining culprits are free and easy, let alone Pry something of value out of their mouths.

Lin Jiangdong rushed over after hearing the news, and stood by the couch with a serious face.

At this time, people are brought in.

He was a middle-aged man in his late forties, dressed in coarse linen, with several holes in his shoes. Although he looked like a poor scholar, his vicissitudes of life couldn't conceal his youthful beauty. His body was thin and frail. But the back is straight, and the scholar who comes from the inside should have the arrogance.

Before entering the door, this man looked haughty, but after entering the room, when he saw Xiao Hou lying on the bed, his expression changed instantly, his eyes were fixed on him, he didn't know what he was looking at, and his eyes were lost for a moment.

"Bold, hurry up and salute when you see our prince!" The guard on the side scolded in a cold voice.

Only then did the man regain his senses, and bowed his head in salute, "Caomin Wang Yu has seen His Royal Highness Yi Wang."

Xiao Hou leaned against the wall of the bed, coughed a few times, and then set his eyes on the person who kept looking at him as soon as he entered the door. Although his eyes were not disgusting, it was still uncomfortable to be explored so unscrupulously. Joy.

"Who are you?" Xiao Hou asked slowly.

After saluting, Wang Yu looked at Xiao Hou with kindness in his eyes, but answered irrelevantly, "I heard that the prince was injured. I don't know how the injury is? Is it serious?"

This person's inexplicable concern made Xiao Hou squint his eyes.

Lin Jiangdong's face changed when he heard the words, and he immediately scolded, "The prince asked you something, how can you change the subject? What is your intention to enter the palace?"

While speaking, Lin Jiangdong had ordered someone to detain him.

After all, Wang Yu is a scholar, he has never practiced martial arts, and his body is weak. After being treated with such a cup of force, his face suddenly turned pale, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, but he didn't seem to care, and looked at him with gentle eyes. Xiao Hou said with concern, "I learned that you were seriously injured and unconscious two days ago, and I was worried, so I went to the city to see you."

The man's words were heard by everyone, as if he was talking nonsense, Lin Jiangdong peeked at his prince's gloomy face, then turned his head and said to the guard, "Why did you bring him in without asking clearly? No Do you know that the prince can't waste his time dealing with these people who are not clear-headed?"

As he was about to lead him down, Wang Yu spoke again.

"Your Highness, my name is Wang Jue. Our Wang family was family friends with your mother's Luo family more than 20 years ago. Maybe you are very strange to me, but I know you very well."

"The Wang family? Are you?" Xiao Hou originally ignored him, but when he heard him mentioning his relationship with the Luo family, he couldn't help but widen his eyes slightly, his expression could not hide his surprise, but his eyes were full of inquiry.

"I don't know if Your Highness knows that more than 20 years ago, the Wang family who served as the governor of Jiangnan? Cao Min is the eldest son of the Wang family." Wang Yu smiled warmly.

A flash of surprise flashed in Xiao Hou's eyes, "So you were the one who had a marriage contract with your mother back then?"

"That's right," Wang Yu nodded, but his eyes dimmed a bit, "If there hadn't been that accident, maybe your mother and I would have lived a warm and peaceful life now."

"You say you are the prince of the Wang family, but what evidence do you have?" Lin Jiangdong looked at him suspiciously and asked, it's better to be careful about this kind of thing.

Hearing this, Wang Yu glanced at the guards who grabbed him, Xiao Hou raised his hand, and those people retreated, and Wang Yu also regained his freedom. A jade pendant was brought out, and soon someone took it and handed it to Xiao Hou.

"This is made of mandarin duck stones. Half of it is polished into a jade bracelet, and the other half is polished into this jade pendant. This is the engagement token between me and your mother back then. It was given to me by your grandfather, saying that it was you. A family heirloom of the Luo family, you should have seen your mother wear that jade bracelet before."

Listening to Wang Yu's explanation, Xiao Hou stroked the jade pendant, which was almost the same quality as the family heirloom left by his mother, and his mind flickered slightly. He put the jade bracelet on for the little rascal, but within three days, he returned to the jade pendant again. into his hands.

"It is indeed a token of our Luo family." Xiao Hou returned the jade pendant to him.

"So you believe in my identity?" Wang Yu looked at Xiao Hou with some joy.

Xiao Hou didn't answer, but asked instead, "Back then, the Luo family was raided and the Wang family was silenced for no reason. Why are you still alive?"

"Back then, the Wang family was assassinated by unknown people, and I escaped by going out to study. When I came back, I was in desolation, and everything was different!" Although so many years have passed, every time he mentions it, he still feels sad endlessly.

"You said you have evidence that the Luo family was framed 21 years ago, what exactly is it?" Xiao Hou said in a deep voice.

Wang Yu's expression flickered when he heard the words, and a look of embarrassment appeared on his face.

Catching the change in Wang Yu's face, and seeing him hesitant to speak, Xiao Hou's face suddenly sank. Although there was still a smile on the corner of his mouth, it was not in his eyes. There is no evidence, right?"

Wang Yu couldn't help sighing, and looked at Xiao Hou sincerely, "It's been more than 20 years. Even if you were wronged, your mother didn't want you to be involved in the power struggle back then. Besides, in your current situation, It's not suitable to know these things, now that I see you are well, I feel relieved, just pretend that I haven't been here before!"

Xiao Hou snorted coldly, "Do you think this king will let you leave here easily? If you don't hand over the evidence, then don't blame this king for not remembering the old love!"

Wang Yu shook his head and said earnestly, "Your Highness, you are living a peaceful life now, so don't think about the past. Before your mother died, she must have told you to live a good life and not pursue the past."

Xiao Hou felt that what he said was ridiculous, "The purpose of my king's life is to avenge the Luo family and avenge my mother! Before my mother died, she still missed you, but I didn't want you to be so greedy for life and afraid of death. You, my mother's love for you is really wasted!"

Wang Yu's eyes were full of pain, "Sisi must have had a hard time in those years! I didn't protect her well!"

"Do you have any evidence in your hand?" Xiao Hou glanced at the pain in his brow and eyes, knowing that this person is also an infatuated man, but the most important thing now is to get the evidence in his hand.

"Originally, I had planned to put this secret into the coffin. If I hadn't heard that His Highness was seriously injured and his life was in danger, I wouldn't have risked my life to use this reason to win His Highness's side. But, anyway, I don't have the ability to vindicate the Luo family. , maybe His Highness can do it."

When Wang Yu said this, there was helplessness and grief in his chuckle.
