As soon as the guard's words fell, the Linglong lock in Xiao Hou's hand suddenly tightened.
"Bring people in!"
A cold voice with a hint of trembling.
For so many years, he has been struggling to find evidence that the Luo family was framed, and wanted to overturn the case for them. Unfortunately, it was a long time ago, and the people related to the year were buried in the loess, and the remaining culprits were at ease, and it was even more impossible. Pry something of value out of their mouths.
Lin Jiangdong came after hearing the news and stood by the couch with a solemn face.
At this time, people were brought in.
He was a middle-aged man of less than forty, dressed in sackcloth and sackcloth, with a few holes in his shoes. Although he looked like a poor scholar, his vicissitudes of life could not hide the beauty of his youth, and his body was thin and thin. But the back is straight, and the arrogance that a scholar should have from the inside.
Before entering the door, this man looked arrogant. After entering the room, he saw Xiao Hou lying on the bed, his expression changed instantly, his eyes were fixed on him, and he didn't know what he was looking at.
"Bold, don't hurry to salute when you see our prince!" The guard on the side scolded coldly.
The man then returned to his senses, bowed his head and saluted, "Caomin Wang Yu has seen His Royal Highness King Yi."
Xiao Hou leaned against the wall of the bed, coughed a few times, and then set his eyes on the man who kept looking at him as soon as he entered the door. Although his eyes were not disgusting, it was still unpleasant to be explored so unscrupulously. Wyatt.
"Who are you?" Xiao Hou asked slowly.
After Wang Yu saluted, he looked at Xiao Hou with a bit of kindness in his eyes, but answered the question, "I heard that the lord was injured, I don't know how the injury is? Is it serious?"
This person's inexplicable concern caused Xiao Hou to narrow his eyes.
Lin Jiangdong's face changed when he heard the words, and he immediately reprimanded, "The lord asked you, how can you change the subject? Why did you 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. Treated with such a cup of force, his face suddenly turned pale, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, but he seemed not to care, and looked at him gently. Xiao Hou said with concern, "I was in a coma two days ago when I learned that you were seriously injured, and I couldn't worry, so I entered the city and wanted to see you."
This person's words sounded like nonsense in everyone's ears. Lin Jiangdong peeked at his prince's gloomy face, then turned to the guard and said, "Why did you bring people in without asking clearly? No? Do you know that Wang Ye can't waste time dealing with these people with unclear minds?"
As he was about to lead people down, Wang Yu spoke again.
"His Royal Highness, my name is Wang Jue. Our Wang family and your mother Luo family were family friends more than 20 years ago. Maybe you are unfamiliar with me, but I know you very well."
"Wang family? Could it be you?" Xiao Hou originally ignored him, but when he heard him mentioning his relationship with the Luo family, he couldn't help but open his eyes slightly.
"I wonder if Your Highness knows that the Wang family who served as the governor of Jiangnan more than 20 years ago? Caomin is the eldest son of the Wang family." Wang Yu said with a warm smile.
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 wasn't for that accident, maybe your mother and I would have lived a warm and dull life now."
"You said you were the prince of the Wang family, but what evidence is there to prove it?" Lin Jiangdong, who was beside him, looked at him suspiciously and asked, this kind of thing still has to be careful.
Wang Yu heard the words and glanced at the guards who grabbed him. Xiao Hou raised his hand, and those people retreated. Wang Yu also regained his freedom. Out of a jade pendant, someone quickly took it and handed it to Xiao Hou.
"This is made of mandarin duck stone, half of which is polished into a jade bracelet, and the other half is polished into this jade pendant. This is the betrothal of your mother and I back then. It was given to me by your foreign bus. The Luo family's heirloom, you should have seen your mother wear that jade bracelet."
Listening to Wang Yu's explanation, Xiao Hou touched the jade pendant, which was almost the same quality as the family heirloom left by his mother, and his mind flickered slightly. into his hands.
"It is indeed a token of our Luo family." Xiao Hou returned the jade pendant to him.
"So you believe my identity?" Wang Yu looked at Xiao Hou with some joy.
Xiao Hou didn't answer, and instead asked, "Back then, the Luo family was raided by the whole family, and the Wang family was inexplicably silenced. Why are you still alive?"
"Back then, the Wang family was assassinated by unknown people, and I went out to study and escaped the disaster. When I came back, I was full of people and people were different!" Although it has been so many years, he still feels sad every time he mentions it. endlessly.
"You said you have evidence that the Luo family was framed 21 years ago, what exactly is that?" Xiao Hou said solemnly.
Wang Yu's expression flickered when he heard the words, and a look of embarrassment appeared on his face.
Capturing the change in Wang Yu's face, and seeing how he hesitated to speak again, Xiao Hou's face suddenly sank, although there was still a smile on the corner of his mouth, but it was not as close to the bottom of his eyes, "Wang Gongzi doesn't mean to say, at all. There's 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 are wronged, your mother doesn't want you to be involved in the struggle for power back then, besides, you are this one now. It’s not appropriate to know about the situation, but now that I see you are well, I’m relieved, you can just pretend that I haven’t been here!”
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 feelings!"
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 that you must live well and not pursue the things of the past."
Xiao Hou felt that what he said was ridiculous, "This king is living a good life in order to avenge Luo Jiaxue and my mother! Back then, my mother was thinking about you before she died, but I didn't want you to be so greedy for life and fear of death. You, my mother's affection for you is wasted!"
Wang Yu's eyes filled with pain, "Sisi must have had a very painful few years! I didn't protect her well!"
"Do you have any evidence in your hands?" Xiao Hou glanced at the pain in his brows and eyes, knowing that this man was also an infatuated man, but now the most important thing is to get the evidence in his hands.
"Originally, I had planned to bring this secret into the coffin. If I hadn't heard that His Highness was seriously injured and dying, I wouldn't have risked my life to use this reason to seek His Highness's side, but anyway, I don't have the ability to rehabilitate the Luo family. , maybe Your Highness can do it."
When Wang Yu said this, there was helplessness and grief in his chuckle.
