Xiao Weixin didn't say anything. He usually never spoke when he was outside. He just lowered his head and took small sips of the teacup, as if he didn't notice the head hanging not far away.
Yong Wang Xiao Weijing is also a shrewd person. He has been hanging out in various romantic places for many years and knows how to survive under Xiao Weishen: "I heard that the emperor was assassinated last night?"
King Qin Xiao Weiming was not very well-informed and his eyes widened slightly when he heard this.
"Indeed, a bug sneaked in." Xiao Weishen lost all the fear he had last night and pretended to be nice in front of his brothers: "But my guards quickly captured this person, but unfortunately they were unable to find out who was behind this."
"That's such a pity." Xiao Weijing sighed. His appearance was more feminine than Xiao Weixin's. If he changed into women's clothes, no one would doubt his gender. He was a playboy who enjoyed eating, drinking and having fun. When he frowned and worried, he really seemed to be concerned about his brother. "I just saw the head hanging in the imperial garden. It seems to be the assassin who didn't know how to live or die?"
"That's right." Xiao Weishen glanced back with a gloomy look, "I'm still investigating this matter. As long as there is a little clue..."
Everyone knew what he meant without him saying anything next.
Qin Wang Xiao Weiming is the youngest of the princes left by the previous emperor. He is only seventeen years old this year. He is not as steady and alert as his brothers. He asked slowly: "Then my royal brother, did you summon us here to help you catch someone?"
Xiao Weishen looked at Xiao Weiming with a half-smile: "Thank you for your concern, Sixteenth Brother. I just want to ask, who do you think might be the mastermind behind this?"
Xiao Weiming looked confused. How could he know
Xiao Weishen turned his gaze to Xiao Weixin, who had been silent the whole time: "What do you think, Seventh Brother?"
Xiao Weixin, who had not spoken for a long time, was not let off. He put down the cup slowly. The autumn wind blew and he shivered. He tightened the blanket around him, coughed weakly twice, and replied, "I think this man must have planned this for a long time. The assassin was able to sneak into the palace. Who knows if there is a traitor who was bribed by the people around my brother."
"I think so too." Xiao Weijing nodded absentmindedly, "Otherwise, how could a mere assassin get in right under the noses of the Imperial Guards?"
Xiao Weiming glanced at his two brothers, afraid of being left behind, and hurriedly followed suit to appear smarter: "Yes, yes, yes, I second the proposal!"
Xiao Weishen's eyes moved back and forth between the three of them, as if he was still trying to figure out who among them could reveal some flaws. "But the assassin is dead and there is no evidence, and the people around me can't find out anything either. This is really tricky."
"Where do you think I should start?"
Xiao Weixin sighed and shook his head, saying guiltily: "I am an idle person who never asks about government affairs. I really can't tell you anything about this matter. I can't help you, my brother. If you suspect anyone, please arrest them and interrogate them."
The smile on Xiao Weishen's lips deepened. On the surface, he looked calm and composed, but he was actually very angry inside, because all of his three younger brothers looked very innocent.
Xiao Weijing has a dissolute character who says "Don't delay my romantic life"
Xiao Weixin coughed weakly and was about to die.
Xiao Weiming's eyes were filled with confusion, as if he hadn't woken up yet.
As a mediocre emperor without any profound wisdom, Xiao Weishen was unable to judge whether this matter had any connection with his younger brothers and uncles. The strange thing was that the assassin died too quickly. Nothing was left on his body. Even the dagger he used to kill himself looked like it was bought for five cents on the street. There was no way to investigate at all.
However, Xiao Weixin was at least right about one thing, that is, as an emperor, his surroundings were not absolutely safe, and there must be a traitor. Although he could not confirm who it was, his principle of rather killing someone by mistake than letting someone go had brought Xiao Weishen to where he is today. So last night he massacred all the palace servants around him except for his absolute confidants. Even the old eunuch sweeping the floor in the garden was not spared. In total, hundreds of people were executed.
You Shu could read lips and probably figure out what they were saying. That dog emperor Xiao Weishen had not given up his suspicions, and he was not stupid enough to really figure out who the mastermind was based on a few words. He just wanted to see what their attitudes were.
Unfortunately, he was facing two movie emperors and a truly naive old fox, and got nothing.
However, the person Xiao Weixin had cultivated with great difficulty and could get into the emperor's inner chamber also died, which was a heavy loss. You Shu knew this initial plot, but he was not worried, because the protagonist was not the kind of person who was eager for success and reckless. This incident would teach him a profound lesson, and he would act more cautiously in the future and would never take risks easily again.
Xiao Weishen failed to get what he wanted, and he couldn't blatantly frame them with any crime, so he had to hold his anger and pretend to be a friendly brother. He also kindly cared about Xiao Weishen's health and asked him if he had taken the medicine.
"How dare I waste your kindness, my brother?" Xiao Weixin frowned slightly. Even though he looked sick, it couldn't hide his handsome appearance. He spoke in a weak and breathless voice, "It's just that my foundation is too poor. No matter how many tonics I drink, it's useless. A while ago, Doctor Wang even said... I'm afraid my body won't get better."
Xiao Weishen pretended to be sorry and said hypocritically: "What Doctor Wang said cannot be relied upon. I will order people to post notices widely. Maybe we can find a master among the people who can cure your stubborn disease."
"Thank you, my royal brother." Xiao Weixin looked melancholy, obviously not believing that he could recover. "My illness is caused by a heat poison that I brought from my mother's womb. Fortune tellers have said that my fate is weak and I will have no children and only medicine and medicine to accompany me for the rest of my life. I have already accepted my fate."
There were tears in his eyes, and his frail appearance was lovable. Even a ruthless man like Xiao Weishen felt a little sympathy for him. Among so many brothers, Xiao Weishen was the only one who had never caused trouble since childhood. He was not present during the struggle for power back then. What happened last night was probably nothing to do with him.
"Don't believe the lies of that charlatan. You don't have to worry as long as I am here. I have asked the Queen to look for suitable ladies to marry. You can have a look at them. If you get married soon, you may even have a happy occasion."
Xiao Weixin coughed lightly, smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Royal brother, please don't push anyone else on me. How can I, with my health, let alone drag down a good girl? Besides, didn't you just give me a concubine named Zhou last year? Imperial Physician Wang said that my health is... not good, how can I be so lucky as to enjoy it?"
When talking about this, Xiao Weishen's eyes were somewhat proud. This was tantamount to Xiao Weixin openly admitting that he was not good enough. Zhou was the one he personally sent in, and she had not been able to consummate the marriage for a year after entering the house. Many times when Zhou wanted to enter the room to serve, she failed, and was instead driven out by Xiao Weixin in anger.
It would be a great shame for all men if they failed to do that kind of thing. What's the use of Xiao Weixin even if he looks good
Xiao Weishen likes to expose other people's scars, which can satisfy some of his dark hobbies. The more painful others are, the happier he is.
After drinking tea in the Imperial Garden, the wave of assassinations seemed to have passed in the open. Xiao Weixin got on the carriage with the help of his servants. As soon as the curtain fell, his face became gloomy. Qi Han and Hua Chunduo did not dare to say much and remained silent all the way.
You Shu and Ying Wu had already returned to the carriage and exchanged places with the two guards. The two would only think that they had accidentally taken a nap on the roadside and would not dare to tell anyone that they had slacked off.
After arriving at the inner courtyard of the palace, Xiao Weixin locked himself in the study. How could he not be angry when all the people he had trained with great difficulty were destroyed? You Shu squatted on the beam on duty, and Ying Wu was on the roof, the two of them worked together, one inside and one outside.
Xiao Weixin drove out everyone inside and outside the study room, leaving him alone except for the shadow guard You Shu. So from You Shu's perspective, he could see all of Xiao Weixin's movements.
Xiao Weixin sat on the chair with an expressionless face, playing with the jade cup in his hand. Outsiders could not tell what he was thinking, but You Shu could interpret several meanings from his expression.
Maybe he has already mastered his bootlicking skills to perfection.
The silence in the study lasted for about ten minutes. Xiao Weixin suddenly clenched the jade cup in his hand. In just a few seconds, the jade cup was crushed into pieces in his palm. Blood dripped down his palm and dripped onto the crescent-white clothes.
But he was unaware and seemed to feel no pain.
You Shu could understand the protagonist's feelings at the moment. He had endured it for many years but almost got into trouble and lost lives, which greatly damaged his self-esteem and pride.
But it doesn't matter, the protagonist has a halo, even if he commits suicide, someone else will quickly fill his place. As a reader with a God's vision, You Shu is not worried at all, and even silently cheers him on in his heart.
"Someone come here." After Xiao Weixin calmed down, his emotions also calmed down. He spoke something to the empty study room.
But he forgot that he had ordered everyone out, and no one outside the house obeyed his orders. You Shu waited for a while but no one came, so he landed lightly in front of the desk, knelt on one knee and whispered, "What do you want, Your Majesty?"
Xiao Weixin wanted to call someone to treat his wound, but now he remembered that he had sent everyone around him away. He looked up at the shadow guard kneeling on the ground and said calmly, "Come and bandage this king."
"yes."
You Shu stood up from the ground. For people like them who had been walking on the edge of death for years, treating wounds was as common as eating. He found the gold wound medicine and gauze on the bookshelf and walked back respectfully.
Xiao Weixin's entire palm was pierced by the porcelain fragments. You Shu didn't have tweezers, so he used a silver needle to pick out the tiny fragments one by one. Looking at the bloody palm, he sighed slightly in his heart.
Why are these people always like this? They never treat their hands as meat.
Xiao Weixin was originally thinking about the next action plan when he looked up inadvertently and saw the shadow guard bandaging him.
To be honest, You Shu's looks are very good, not to mention among the shadow guards, even among the handsome guys. Although he is not as good-looking as Xiao Weixin, he is also an extremely handsome man, with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes like the breeze. No matter how you look at him, it is a pity to be just a shadow guard.
Xiao Weixin had never paid attention to the group of shadow guards. In his eyes, they were just a group of assassins who lived in the dark and never saw the light. However, he did not expect that there would be such people among his shadow guards.
But he was only amazed for a moment before he calmed down again.
You Shu didn't know what he was thinking, but he tried hard to control his emotions and tried his best to show his best side to Xiao Weixin.
After all, the Ant Race has been going on for fourteen years, and he finally gets the chance to get up close and personal with the hero for the first time!
The opportunity to start a business has arrived!
