"Your Highness is a man of steel and is not afraid of torture. My petty tricks are of little use to a man of iron and blood like your Highness." Shen Xihe really admired King Xun's perseverance. There were probably only a handful of people in the world who could withstand Xiao Huayong's torture.
"We have to find another way. To be honest with you, Your Highness, I am good at mixing perfumes. I can mix a perfume that can confuse people's minds and confuse their memories." Shen Xihe said faintly, "I will use the bone-pushing technique to make someone look like the prince, and then confuse his memory. Even if your son is very smart, I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to tell the truth from a person who thinks he is the prince."
"Why do you need to tell me this?" King Xun said coldly.
"If there is a quick solution, why should I go for the long way around?" Shen Xihe said calmly, turning around and giving Xiao Huayong a look.
Xiao Huayong's lips showed a different smile: "Uncle, you are just planning for the Xun Palace. Ten years ago, His Majesty was young and strong. Ten years later, uncle should think more about it. My nephew and brothers are all adults. Uncle, have you ever thought about what will happen if the one who ascends the throne is my nephew?"
King Xun's body trembled. The reason why he did not commit suicide immediately to put an end to Xiao Huayong's thoughts was not because he still held on to a glimmer of hope of being rescued, but because he did not know who Xiao Huayong was and did not know Xiao Huayong's ability, so he wanted to test him personally.
Facing the extremely handsome nephew in front of him, his eyes were shining silver, as deep as the ocean, unfathomable and unreachable. He should have guessed the hidden worries in his heart long ago, but he didn't point it out right away at the beginning, just to show himself how capable and how many methods he had.
He even delayed the attack until the last moment, cutting off his chance of bargaining.
"Your Majesty has many princes, all of whom are good at both civil and military affairs. Your Highness is very capable, but he is a little too confident." Prince Xun did not give in easily.
"Of course I am confident. I am a legitimate son." Xiao Huayong revealed his identity at the right time.
Prince Xun's pupils shrank, and his purple lips trembled slightly. He had guessed all of Xiao Huayong's identities, except the crown prince!
The Crown Prince, Your Majesty's Crown Prince, everyone knows that there is such a person, but no one takes this person seriously.
He is like an invisible man. No one can attribute anything to him. What kind of horrible person can do this
"Today I will give you a choice. You can take the lead and let your cousin bring Prince Xun's Mansion to me, or you can take a gamble and I will be the loser, and Prince Xun's Mansion can be preserved?" In the narrow and confined underground secret room, Xiao Huayong's voice was very soft.
There was no trace of threat or coercion in his tone. He spoke calmly, yet with the arrogance of a king.
Shen Xihe's gaze passed over the flickering candlelight and fell on the tall and majestic figure in front of him.
Someone once told her that there is a kind of person who is born to be a king. It is hard to describe him. If she meets him one day, she will understand. He moves with ease, controls the world, controls the wind and clouds, and decides life and death.
King Xun was faced with a dilemma: to be loyal to His Majesty or to secretly surrender to Xiao Huayong.
As soon as Shen Xihe saw that Prince Xun was wavering, he said, "My Lord, if your son surrendered to Your Highness, Your Highness would have always been tolerant of me and would not have immediately mobilized the Divine Brave Army, and Your Majesty would not have suspected or rejected your son. Before Your Highness ascended the throne, your son was still Your Majesty's confidant, and after Your Highness ascended the throne, your son also served as a follower of Your Highness."
