Xiao Xu entered the living room and saw Xiao Ran sitting on a chair with a pale face, he couldn't help frowning and scolded, "You can't take care of yourself in the palace with serious injuries and run around, do you think you're tired of living? ?"
Xiao Ran, who was originally worried about the eldest brother's anger at himself, heard the long-lost reprimand, his eyes became hot, and he blurted out, "Eldest brother, it's not that I didn't come out on purpose to clear your suspicions, it is - my brother. I can't help myself, I'm really sorry!"
Seeing his self-blame and serious injury, Xiao Xu sighed in his heart, "This matter has nothing to do with you, you don't need to blame yourself."
"Brother, are we, as princes, forced to kill each other because of that position?" Xiao Ran suddenly had the urge to talk. Fear of the future. But he didn't know who to tell, and only at this time did he find an outlet for the pouring out.
"Brother, I'm afraid, I will eventually become the kind of person I hate."
Xiao Xu reached out and patted his shoulder, and said earnestly, "Keep your original intention in order to keep your original intention."
Xiao Ran's eyes were red, but he knew that he was a manly man, and a man would not cry easily! So I can only endure it, "Chen brother bear in mind the teachings of the first emperor."
"Go back, don't let people worry." Xiao Xu said lightly.
Xiao Ran nodded, and before leaving, he turned his head and said, "I sneaked out of the palace, so I can't stay for too long. First Emperor, please help me to say sorry to Qingyan." If it weren't for him, Qingyan would not be asking for mercy. Kneeling for so many hours.
After Xiao Ran left, a pair of black gold boots appeared at the door, and his pale eyebrows were raised lightly, "Your father, because he does not hesitate to attack you, his mother and concubine are always targeting you, it is rare that you can still treat each other with sincerity, The precious kindness in the royal family!"
Hearing the pity for him in Grandpa Huang's words, Xiao Xu replied lightly, "Grandson is just following his own heart, not kindness."
"Chi Chi, Grandpa, I haven't experienced as many things as you thought, but you can still be brothers and sisters and uphold filial piety." The Emperor Taishang walked into the hall and shook his head. Among them, his grandson, he still has some understanding.
"It's not that the emperor's grandfather taught him well, what's more, the fourth emperor's younger brother is also your emperor's grandson." Xiao Xu handed him a cup of tea and retorted in a flat tone.
The Emperor Taishang suddenly widened his eyes, "Have you been with Yan girl for a long time and learned to contradict me?"
Xiao Xu ignored Grandpa Huang's intermittent irregularities, and said lightly, "You are still young, and if you don't do well in some areas, please forgive Grandpa Huang."
"Before getting married, you turned your arms out, Xiao Xu, don't forget, I am your grandfather!" Taishanghuang blew his beard and stared.
Xiao Xu smiled, "The grandson didn't say that you are not a grandfather, and Grandpa Huang, don't forget that this marriage was given by you!"
The Supreme Emperor was stunned for a moment. It was indeed given by him. Suddenly, he felt like he was shooting a stone at his own foot. Unreasonable, unreasonable!
Xiao Xu ignored Grandpa Huang jumping aside, he sat down with a teacup in his hand, his mind wandered a little.
This trip is very dangerous, how should I talk to the little guy and let her stay in the house at ease
He sang a one-man show by himself for a long time, but no one paid attention. The emperor gave him a gloomy look, then found a comfortable position on the chair and sat down, his tone returned to a serious, less condescending tone. "Your father called you to the imperial study and told you what?"
Xiao Xu withdrew his thoughts from his contemplation, and said lightly, "The Fuli Mountains have found traces of ore, and the emperor asked his grandson to investigate."
Hearing that, Emperor Taishang frowned, "I've been an emperor for so many years, why don't you know there are ore there?"
"I discovered it recently, and my grandson doesn't know it." Xiao Xu raised his eyebrows to hide the coolness in his eyes.
The Emperor Taishang couldn't figure it out, so he shook his head and continued to ask, "It should be more than that simple, there should be other additional tasks."
Xiao Xu nodded, did not speak bluntly, but praised, "Grandpa Huang guessed very accurately."
The Emperor Taishang sighed lightly. At this time, he had a majesty from the inside, and his eyes were sharp. It was hard to imagine that the old urchin was him.
"Could the lonely son not understand? Over the years, he still hasn't changed. He insists on his own way and doesn't listen to people's words. That's all. One is the son and the other is the grandson. He can do whatever he likes, and he can't handle it. !" The Emperor Taishang looked helpless.
Xiao Xu stood up, bent over and comforted him, "Grandpa Huang, children and grandchildren have their own blessings, relax and live the life you want!"
The Emperor Taishang jumped up when he heard the words, his beard trembled with anger, "It's like it's not you who dared to say it, I hope I won't come to collect the corpse for you in the future when I return to the capital alone! I won't play with you, I'll go to Huaiyuan alone! Humph!"
Xiao Xu shook his head helplessly.
After a while, Huo Ling and Tu Ling entered the study room, and at a glance they saw their master standing in front of the windowsill with his back to them.
"Master, are you really going to the Fuli Mountains?" Huo Ling couldn't hold back his temper and asked first.
As soon as the master left the palace on the front foot, the news came out on the back foot, and Shui Ling immediately passed the news to them.
As soon as the master was released from the Heavenly Prison, His Majesty assigned him to look for that ghost mine in the Fuli Mountains. In the eyes of outsiders, they thought that the master was really the mastermind of the assassination, but His Majesty saw that the master was a prince and could not bear to offend the master. , to find a reason to release the master.
And now is the time to discuss the establishment of the heir, the master is far away from the capital, doesn't he even have the opportunity to compete
"The emperor's life is difficult." Xiao Xu turned around and said lightly as he looked at his angry subordinates.
"This—" Huo Ling opened his mouth, finally gritted his teeth and lowered his head.
Emperor Ming, even the master can't resist, what qualifications do they have to say anything
Tu Ling looked up at the deserted master and said suspiciously, "Master, according to Shui Ling's investigation, the Fuli Mountains stretch for thousands of miles and are uninhabited. Some people have gone to investigate before, but they have not found any traces of ore, so the subordinates are worried about this mission. I'm afraid it will be difficult to implement."
"It's a matter of human effort, and this mine hunt is only one of the tasks, and there are other secret orders. You go down to prepare, and in three days, we will set off." Xiao Xu frowned, his eyes were a bit complicated.
"Yes." Earth Spirit and Fire Spirit responded.
Just before leaving, Tu Ling turned around and asked hesitantly, "The little princess hasn't known about this yet, do you want to tell me?"
Xiao Xu turned his eyes to look out the window, the bright red lanterns were still bright, and after a moment of daze, he slowly said in the worried look of his subordinates, "You go down and do things first, the other kings have their own arrangements."
