Then, they were taken to a dark room, lit by candlelight, and asked to remember the portrait hanging on the wall, and to say that they had seen the person in the portrait when they saw them.

Not only that, the man wearing a black mask clicked on a few paintings that were obviously scenes of the royal family getting along, asking the children to follow him to identify the people in the paintings.

Whoever can meet his requirements will be able to return to his parents with a generous reward.

It's a pity that these children were so frightened that they didn't remember what the masked man told them for a long time. The masked man started killing people in anger. The moment blood splashed on the remaining face of the puppy, he was really frightened.

In order to survive and return to his parents, Xiao Xiaosheng had to force himself to remember what the masked man said and stared at the paintings on the wall, trying to distinguish them clearly.

In the end, he was chosen by the masked man because he was articulate and smart, and he was taken to another place. Those children who failed to meet the requirements were all silenced by the masked man.

The masked man was very satisfied with the puppy's age and his super memory and expression skills that were inconsistent with his age, so he gave him some extra guidance.

He was asked to state in public that he had seen an old uncle, and after attracting everyone's attention, he told the truth about the characteristics of the person in the portrait.

The little dog obeyed in a daze, causing a commotion on the street in an instant, and before he could react, he was taken away by the masked man.

Li Xiaoji has a God's perspective and can see clearly that the children such as Xiao Xiaosheng were randomly selected, intending to "confirm" through the mouths of young children that the Wu royal family indeed hides the secret of immortality.

After all, how could a child who is simply ignorant and unable to speak clearly tell lies?

The people who came to do this were naturally the enemies of the Wu State. Under the illusion created by them, the old emperor Zheng completely took the bait, the Wu State was destroyed, and he was forced to become a homeless dog.

And the little dog that indirectly became the fatal straw did not fare much better. After the incident, his entire village was wiped out, and his parents were no longer alive.

The puppy was thrown heavily to the ground by the masked man. The intention was to throw him to death, but he managed to survive. He even rolled and climbed down the cliff while the masked man ordered his men to dig a hole.

Fortunately, he fell into a dense forest and was blocked by the dense branches and leaves. He narrowly escaped death. However, due to the heavy blow and head injury, he lost his memory and became a beggar.

He only remembered the words that people in the village often said to him, "An Ran life", so he thought that his name was An Ran and that he was abandoned by his parents.

Later, under the arrangement of fate, little Anran was picked up by the original person, who adopted him as his adopted son, named him Li Anran, and grew up lovingly and caressed by him.

"Fuck..." Li Xiaoji and the traitorous minister System, who had figured out the truth about the demise of the Wu Kingdom, cursed at the same time. They had no choice but to express their feelings at this moment.

Alas, as far as the relationship between the male protagonist and the original person is concerned, the original person is really a big grievance.

Over the years, the original person relied on the military strength of the Liu Kingdom to avenge the destruction of his country. No one from the enemy's royal family survived, not even the common people at the bottom.

The masked man who randomly caught the little hero and other children to spread rumors and his subordinates died long ago under Liu Guo's iron hoof, leaving no bones left.

The Zheng Kingdom has become increasingly weak in recent years, and may become a vassal state of the Liu Kingdom at any time. The more difficult the situation is, the more intense the internal fighting among the Zheng Kingdom royal family will be, and the clan will almost be wiped out.

Now, it seems that the only targets left for the original body to take revenge are Li Anran and Liu Guo.

Li Xiaoji looked at Li Anran who was still lying on the bed with his brows furrowed. He took a deep breath and was about to pretend that nothing happened. After a while, Li Anran opened his eyes and asked, "Father?"

Seeing this, Li Xiaoji and the traitorous minister system couldn't help but look forward to it. They must recover their memories soon. Once they recover their memories, they will immediately fall out!

But Li Anran didn't remember anything this time. He only remembered that he had a lot of random dreams, but he couldn't capture any specific fragments.

Looking at Li Anran's blank eyes, Li Xiaoji felt helpless. Will points be deducted for strangling the male protagonist to death now?

The thunder outside the window gave Li Xiaoji an answer, telling him that he could only treat Li Anran with his normal attitude as much as possible. Only when Li Anran regained his memory on his own and remembered everything could he break off the relationship.

But before that, in order to facilitate the next plan, Li Xiaoji changed his schedule just right, and gradually ignored Li Anran on the grounds that he was busy with business.

Li Anran didn't know the reason, but he was sensible, considerate and tolerant. The assassination of his adoptive father and Ah Chen would definitely cause changes in the situation in the imperial city and make everything confusing. His adoptive father really did not have time to accompany him.

And he is not a child anymore. He doesn't need to be with his adoptive father all the time. It is better to go to Ah Chen's place to see if there is anything he can do to help.

In this way, the father and son began to live a life without seeing each other once a day, but neither of them felt anything was wrong.

Lin Yuechen, who had just sent the princes, princes and other dandies to poor counties and towns in various places for experience, had a taste of it and wanted to explore it.

But unfortunately, there were new clues in the Jishan Assassin case, so she had no time to worry about the Li family and his son, so she could only think about it later.

The new clue pointed to the second prince, and he did have a good reason to take action, which made everyone in the Liu Kingdom inevitably turn their attention to the emperor.

I want to see whether the emperor will protect the second prince as always, or use this matter to suppress him wantonly to prevent the second prince from being too aggressive and threatening the imperial power.

The second prince, who was at the center of the whirlpool, remained calm and calmly discussed countermeasures with Mr. Fu.

Mr. Fu understood that this matter would not be easy to get over, so he asked the second prince to endure it until he could no longer endure it. He must not give anyone a chance to use it as an excuse.

After hearing Mr. Fu's advice, the second prince took a deep breath and expressed his understanding.

Next, when the emperor wanted to suppress the second prince and called him into the palace to scold him in person, he endured it without saying a word.

Seeing that the second prince remained silent and wanted to find fault with him life and death, the emperor couldn't help but feel his chest tightening and said angrily: "You don't speak, but you don't accept it?"

"When my father lectures me, it is my duty as a son to listen quietly, so why don't I just accept it?" The second prince smiled slightly and made a more submissive gesture than before, as if the emperor was willing to scold him.

"..." The emperor looked at the second prince like this, and felt a little relieved despite his resentment. The brat has grown up and finally learned to swallow his anger.

But the relief only lasted for a moment, and the emperor became uncontrollably panicked again. The second prince was now mature, capable and had status. If he was forced to go to the palace, even if he had military power, something unexpected might happen.

Therefore, the emperor decided to convict the second prince with his eyes closed and send him to a remote place to wait for two or three years before talking. However, before he could speak, the sixth prince came to ask for an audience.

The emperor was very unhappy to be interrupted, but thinking that the sixth prince was the main person in this incident and could be a witness here, he ordered someone to announce her in.

Neither the emperor nor the second prince thought that Lin Yuechen's arrival was to ease the atmosphere, and they would definitely seize the opportunity to accuse the second prince.

So, after Lin Yuechen saluted, the emperor looked at her expectantly, hoping that she would take the opportunity to kill the second prince, kill each other, and form a big feud.

The more the two sons quarrel, the more stable his throne will be. After all, they both need his direction.
