Chapter 624

"Click"

Not long after Xuanyuan Aotian and the plainclothes burly man left, a secret compartment was opened from the inside at the edge of the wall behind the old eunuch.

The one hiding in the secret compartment is the current emperor Xuanyuan Sheng, the old eunuch just heard what Xuanyuan Aotian said to him, and Xuanyuan Sheng listened to it verbatim in the secret compartment.

However, regarding the conversation between the two, what finally made Xuanyuan Sheng most concerned was the familiar yet unfamiliar voice of the plainclothes man.

That voice once gave him the urge to push out of the hidden compartment and rush out.

"Your Majesty" saw the emperor come out from the secret compartment, the old eunuch bowed quickly.

Just now he was too engrossed in thinking about things, and for a moment he forgot about Xuanyuan Sheng inside. Now that Xuanyuan Sheng came out by himself, the old eunuch suddenly felt a stream of cold sweat running down his cheeks.

Companion to a king is like companion to a tiger. This is not just for fun. When you think of heaven, you think of hell. Opportunities and risks coexist.

It's not something ordinary people can stay with the emperor.

At this moment Xuanyuan Sheng didn't pay attention to the old eunuch, the voice of the big man just now was still echoing in his mind.

Frowning tightly, surprise, disbelief, doubt, incomprehension, etc. are constantly changing at this moment.

This made the old eunuch who hadn't seen the emperor's response for a long time had no choice but to bow down and dare not get up.

Yoshihisa
Xuanyuan Sheng asked the old eunuch beside him in an uncertain tone:
"is it him?"

Hearing the emperor's question, the old eunuch's thoughts changed sharply. Thinking of the middle-aged man who had just arrived, the old eunuch's face changed slightly, and then he bowed and replied:

"Your Majesty, I dare not jump to conclusions."

"Don't dare" Xuanyuan Sheng said sternly.

"Don't dare, just let me investigate." Xuanyuan Sheng said in a displeased tone, obviously, he didn't like the old eunuch's vague answer.

"Yes" feeling the emperor's dissatisfaction, the old eunuch responded quickly.

The reason why he didn't dare to jump to a conclusion just now was because the identity of the other party was too sensitive, and if something was wrong, he himself might be implicated.

"Prince Yin, I didn't expect to appear again after so many years, and it still appeared in..." Thinking of this, the old eunuch didn't dare to think again.

Although he had identified the identity of the plainclothes man in his heart, he did not dare to directly identify the other party without confirmation.

To know the other party's identity with Xuanyuan Aotian, this is too sensitive, so he has to be cautious.

Both of them were silent, bowed their heads in thought, and after a long time, Xuanyuan Sheng gave the old eunuch an order:

"Give me a good look into our Lord Yu, and see if he has done anything in secret. I hope he won't make a big mistake because of a small one, otherwise..."

As he said that, Xuanyuan Sheng's eyes clearly had a strong murderous intent, which made the old eunuch's heart shudder when he saw it.

Seventeen years ago, an earth-shattering event happened to Dayu's royal family. Empress Ranyu suddenly died overnight for unknown reasons.

What followed was that the princes of Emperor Xuanyuansheng's lineage were all imprisoned in the underground palace by the dragon guards.

All the palaces were sealed off, and all the people in the palace were ordered not to leave the palace.

What followed was that all the subordinate forces of the palaces were wiped out overnight by the joint efforts of the Dragon Guards and the Apprehension Department.

For 17 years, all the royal mansions are still being sealed, and each mansion has become a restricted area, and no one can enter or leave.

Emperor Xuanyuan Sheng did not give any explanation for this, and even directly ordered that no one should have any form of discussion about it, and those who violated it would be the Yi tribe.

Such an important matter was suppressed by the emperor alone, and no one was allowed to discuss it. At first, there were still heated discussions.

But after many people were inexplicably ransacked and wiped out because of discussing this matter, the number of people who mentioned it decreased, and everyone selectively forgot it over time.

Prince Yu's Mansion

This royal title with the highest status in the history of the Dayu Dynasty, although it is not hereditary, but its honor is the only one with no semicolon.

Yu, which means Dayu, and the one-character title of King Yu, one can imagine the deep meaning it contains.

If it is said that the Shangguan family is the best of the people and ministers, then Xuanyuan Aotian, the King of Yu, is the best of the royal family's children, even compared to the crown prince and heir.

"Tell me, who are you, and what are you doing hiding in my Prince Yu's mansion?"

In the study room, Xuanyuan Aotian looked coldly at the big man in plainclothes below, and asked in a deep voice.

Looking at the person in front of him, Xuanyuan Aotian had an attitude of scrutiny for the first time, but he was struggling in his heart.

The other party was rescued by him, but the other party has been hiding his identity all along, and Xuanyuan Aotian never asked much about it.

At the same time, Xuanyuan Aotian trusted him extremely.

No one has seen the real face of the plainclothes man, including Xuanyuan Aotian himself. Today is the first time that the plainclothes man has shown his true colors.

These years, Xuanyuan Aotian has never traced the identity of the plainclothes man, the big reason is because he doesn't want to confirm his inner guess.

However, the old eunuch's reaction forced Xuanyuan Aotian to face this fact.

The old eunuch looked at him with different eyes, which made Xuanyuan Aotian not know how to deceive himself.

The plainclothes man did not answer Xuanyuan Aotian's question, but asked indifferently:

"My lord, I wonder if my lord still remembers how long the villain has been in the mansion?"

Press?
Hearing the plainclothes man's words, Xuanyuan Aotian's sharp eyes flashed a little softness.

Then said softly:
"It's almost 17."

After finishing speaking, Xuanyuan Aotian sighed and fixed his eyes on the big man in plainclothes below.

Then I recalled the great event that happened in the royal family 17 years ago, and the old eunuch scrutinized him behind the scenes before he left.

At that time, the matter involved in the palace was unprecedented. Half of the people in the palace were implicated and executed in secret.

Those who were with the current emperor 17 years ago, except for the old eunuch, all disappeared, and everyone knows where they went.

And the eyes of the old eunuch looking at the plainclothes man added to the other party's current reminder, Xuanyuan Aotian's eyes looking at the plainclothes man softened again.

17 years ago, when that incident happened, Xuanyuan Aotian was not in Yucheng. After he returned to Yucheng, the turmoil of that incident had already passed.

The plainclothes man was the one he took in on his way home, and he has been hiding in the Yuwang mansion since he came.

His identity is unknown, but he is trusted by Xuanyuan Aotian, but because the plainclothes man is low-key, he rarely appears in front of people.

Therefore, for a long time, no one noticed him, so he stayed in Prince Yu's mansion for more than ten years.

For more than ten years, although Xuanyuan Aotian occasionally doubted his identity, he never had the desire to investigate.

Because he was afraid that some things would be revealed, so that the plainclothes man would be hurt again.

Therefore, he has always denied his speculation about the plainclothes man in his heart, and he has never wanted the plainclothes man to tell him his true identity.
