The uninhibited concubine who loves his wife

Chapter 399 Who Became the Assassin? (4)
In the dead of night, Xia Gao was still guarding the study, and Dequan watched for a long time, seeing that he hadn't even finished writing a memorial, he couldn't help but stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, if you are tired, go back to the palace to rest."

Xia Gao shook his head and sighed heavily.

"Your Majesty, do you have something on your mind? Now that King Fude is back, and King Shu and King have been found, you should be happy." Dequan was very puzzled.In the past few days, the emperor was obviously full of worries, and he didn't know what happened to make him so worried.

Xia Gao put the memorial in his hand aside, and suddenly looked at Dequan.

"Dequan, you have been by my side since I was the crown prince. I have never treated you as an outsider, and I trust you very much. Now I want to hear you tell the truth. I want you to tell me, is King Cheng trustworthy?" Regarding King Ford's words, he still refused to believe that King Cheng would be an ambitious person.But Cheng Wang is indeed very close to the holy doctor, and he knows this better than anyone else.

For a moment, he really didn't know who to listen to.He wanted to question King Ford's words, but seeing King Ford's miserable state now, he couldn't bear to question it.

Dequan was taken aback, even a little surprised. "Your Majesty, do you doubt Prince Cheng?"

He didn't need to say too clearly what he suspected, he believed that he would not understand it wrong.

Xia Gao suddenly withdrew his gaze, and his face was a little cold. "I know you have always favored King Cheng, forget it, even if I ask you, you won't tell me the truth."

Hearing this, Dequan knelt down to him immediately: "The emperor calms down, this slave dares to swear to the sky, this slave has no second thoughts towards the emperor, this slave is not partial to King Cheng, but because this slave doesn't think there is any problem with King Cheng."

Xia Gao looked at him again: "Then tell me, does King Cheng have ambitions?"

Dequan raised his head from the ground, and replied respectfully and cautiously: "Your Majesty, forgive me for being bold, but you should actually ask yourself this question."

Xia Gao narrowed his eyes.ask himself?If he knew, would he still be in a dilemma like this?
"Your Majesty, forgive me for speaking bluntly. I grew up watching King Cheng. In my eyes, King Cheng's conduct is worthy of praise. If you talk about what King Cheng is thinking, I think that everything People all have their own thoughts, and the slave also believes that King Cheng has his own thoughts, but the servant believes that King Cheng will not have the intention of hurting the emperor, let alone other thoughts that he should not have."

"Really?" Xia Gao's deep eyes flashed a trace of uncertainty.

With a serious face, Dequan said respectfully: "Your Majesty, you should have seen Cheng Wang's character. If he has any thoughts that he shouldn't have, he will not be just 'Cheng Wang' today."

He believed that the emperor should understand the meaning of his words.If King Cheng really wanted to usurp the throne, he would have done it long ago.Obviously, the emperor has announced the true identity of King Cheng, but King Cheng has been unwilling to change his surname back. If King Cheng really wants to be emperor, shouldn't he immediately recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors?
Hearing this, Xia Gaozhi was startled, and some things that were cloudy in his mind instantly cleared up his thoughts like enlightenment.

Among all his children, if there is anyone who does not care about his position, it is probably only Prince Cheng!
Until now, King Cheng is still unwilling to truly accept him as his father.He called out 'Emperor' every now and then, this didn't look like his son, so he wished he could be more alienated from him.

How could he be so confused and easily suspect his motives?

Over the years, whatever King Cheng did in private, he would not deliberately hide from him, outsiders didn't know, but he knew it clearly.

But if you think about it this way, what does King Ford mean?

He kept saying that the holy doctor had ulterior motives and wanted to harm Shu Xia.And King Cheng and the holy doctor had a good relationship in private, and he made it clear that he was targeting King Cheng.

Doesn't he still want to repent, still want to...

No!Today's King Ford is useless, he can't even take care of himself, even if he wants to harm other brothers, what's the use of getting the throne?
Seeing Xia Gao sinking into his own thoughts, Dequan didn't speak out again, as if he was afraid of disturbing his thinking, he still knelt on the ground in a respectful and respectful manner.

A few days later, Xia Gao suddenly decreed to let several emperors and grandchildren enter the palace.

Bai Xinran and Liu Xuelan made an appointment, and together they brought their baby into the palace to greet the grandpa.

After lunch in the palace, Xia Gao asked the palace servants to take a few children to his bedroom, while Bai Xinran and Liu Xuelan took time to chat in the Royal Garden.

"Xuelan, thank you so much for these few days, thank you for helping me take care of these little guys." Walking on the road, Bai Xinran smiled gratefully at her, "By the way, your King Fengde didn't say anything. Bar?"

Liu Xuelan clenched her fists and compared: "If he dares to say anything, I'll beat him to the teeth!"

"Heh..." Bai Xinran couldn't help laughing.These two couples are the masters who want to save face.

"Actually, you don't have to thank me. You just took care of them for a few days. How could you be so polite? Back then, I was still living at your house for free. And those three treasures in your house are cute and cute. It's so cute, it's too late for me to like it." Liu Xuelan put away her fists and said with a smile.

Bai Xinran raised her eyebrows: "My little Li didn't cause you any trouble, did she?" Among the three babies, the youngest one is the most noisy. If she doesn't pay attention, she opens her mouth and howls, just like a savage girl. I don't know who that temperament is like.

Liu Xuelan smiled and shook her head: "Fortunately, I just cried for a while on the first day, but I haven't had much trouble since then."

Bai Xinran was about to ask her how she coaxed the child, when suddenly a figure in palace attire walked past them.She half-closed her eyes and looked at the back of the maid.

"stop."

The palace maid walking past them was visibly stiff, and then she turned her head and looked at them. When she met Bai Xinran's sharp eyes, she suddenly trembled, and immediately knelt down on the ground, saying very nervously: "Slaves greet the two masters."

Hearing her voice, Bai Xinran frowned.Staring deeply at the maid on the ground, she asked in a deep voice, "Which palace are you from? Do you know our identities?"

The maid lowered her head and shook her head, pleading: "The two masters, please forgive me. The servant girl is a maid who has just entered the palace and is working in Sishui Palace. I don't know who the two masters are?"

Hearing this, Bai Xinran frowned, but did not answer the maid's words, but raised her jaw, and said to the maid: "You raise your head."

The court lady raised her head timidly, with a slightly dark and unfamiliar face.

Bai Xinran narrowed her eyes, and then said to her: "Get up now, it's none of your business here, you can go down."

"Yes, servant girl is leaving." The maid replied cautiously, even the back of her departure looked cautious, as if she had just been called by Bai Xinran and had been frightened a lot.
