After returning from rebirth, the eldest sister of Hou family destroyed her household registration b

royal palace.

When Xiao Rongxuan was brought into the Imperial Study Room, he was still wearing handcuffs and shackles. His steps were heavy and his figure was awkward. At first glance, he looked almost the same as the prisoners in the prison.

"My son has met my father." Xiao Rongxuan looked at Emperor Xiao in front of him and knelt down expressionlessly.

"Get up." Emperor Xiao sat back on his chair and looked at Xiao Rongxuan with his eyebrows furrowed.

"I don't dare. After all, I made a big mistake and am now a sinner. If my father has anything to say, it would be better for me to kneel down and listen." Xiao Rongxuan's tone was distant and cold.

During these days in prison, he had thought clearly. Even if he didn't want to believe it, he had to admit that his father had indeed pushed him out as a target.

He wanted to make the fight between himself and Xiao Jin so painful that no one would be able to threaten him with chips.

"Xuan'er, what do you mean by this? Are you blaming your father?" Emperor Xiao said in a cold tone, "Did you know that Liu Changhan proposed to kill him immediately in the morning meeting? If I hadn't ruled out all opinions, don't say anything. If you attend my birthday banquet, I'm afraid you'll be dead now."

Xiao Rongxuan raised his head and glanced at Emperor Xiao, "Really? I really want to thank my father. But I also want to ask my father what happened to the arrow that shot Liu Qianran to death." ?”

He had never asked someone to put poison on an arrow. The arrow went straight towards Chu Huanyan. I am afraid that his father had already arranged it.

Emperor Xiao's face darkened and he narrowed his eyes slightly, "Xuan'er, although your intelligence has never been as good as Xiao Jinzhi's, you have never been so confused in the past. You want to blame all your faults on me. Do you regard me as your enemy?"

Even if he takes advantage of the person in front of him, no matter what, Xuan'er is his son, but he is so bold that he wants to use the bargaining chip he had back then to take advantage of him. He is already kind enough, otherwise Xiao Rongxuan would not be able to kneel in front of him and talk to him now!

Xiao Rongxuan looked at Emperor Xiao, and when he met the majestic and cold gaze, the courage born of anger and unwillingness in his heart began to dissipate little by little.

He slowly lowered his head and said, "I don't dare."

Emperor Xiao snorted coldly, "Originally, I was still thinking of ways to save your life and let you return to the court, but looking at you now, I really wasted my efforts."

"Father, you still want to let your son return to the court?" Xiao Rongxuan suddenly raised his head.

"After all, you are my son, even though tiger poison does not eat its own children, do you really think that I have no father-son affection for you?" Emperor Xiao slowed down his tone, "I did take advantage of you in this matter. But I don’t want to treat you as an abandoned son. Xuan’er, I naturally hope that you can inherit the throne more than Xiao Jinzhi.”

"How do you plan to save your son?" Xiao Rongxuan's tone revealed a bit of urgency.

Xiao Jinzhi promised him that as long as he publicly told the truth about that year at the birthday banquet, his life would be spared.

However, after experiencing so many things, he naturally could not completely trust Xiao Jinzhi. If his father could also give him a way out... he would still prefer to stand on his father's side.

Looking at Xiao Rongxuan, a trace of darkness flashed across Xiao Di's eyes.

Still so restless.

"Xuan'er, my father is still thinking of a solution to this matter, but don't worry, my father will naturally not let them take your life, especially Xiao Jinzhi. It's just..."

Emperor Xiao paused for a moment, and his probing eyes fell directly on Xiao Rongxuan's face.

"Xiao Jinzhi once went to my father's prison in the Ministry of Punishment. I want to know, did he ask you to do anything or promise you anything?"

Xiao Rongxuan's eyes trembled, and the words in the prison were almost blurted out.

But the moment he opened his mouth, he suddenly stopped when he met Emperor Xiao's eyes.

This look was exactly the same as when he pushed himself to fight Xiao Jinzhi before. Did his father really want to protect him, or did he want to use him again?

"Xuan'er, I'm asking you, has Xiao Jinzhi promised you anything?"

After swallowing the words in his heart, Xiao Rongxuan gritted his teeth and said: "Father, what else can he promise to my son? It's just adding insult to injury and taking Chu Huanyan to see my son's joke!"

"Seriously?" Emperor Xiao raised his eyebrows.

"Otherwise, Father, do you think my son is still of any use now?" Xiao Rongxuan smiled bitterly, his expression declining.

Seeing this, Emperor Xiao didn't ask any more questions, softened his expression, and ordered people to take Xiao Rongxuan down to rest.

After Xiao Rongxuan was taken away, Eunuch Zheng, who had been standing at the door of the imperial study, walked in.

"Your Majesty, Chu Huanyan has entered the palace and has gone to see Concubine Xue."

Emperor Xiao was slightly stunned, "How dare she enter the palace at this time?"

"I heard that the imperial concubine specially sent a letter saying that she had not been seen for a long time and that she was summoned to the palace." Eunuch Zheng glanced at Emperor Xiao and continued, "Your Majesty, would you like to seize this opportunity? Let someone give Chu Huanyan to..."

Emperor Xiao waved his hand and interrupted Eunuch Zheng.

"If they dare to enter the palace at this juncture, they must have made complete preparations. Xiao Jinzhi is not stupid enough to blatantly give me some clues."

"Your Majesty, what do you mean?"

"There is no need to waste your efforts. Just send someone to keep an eye on them secretly and find out what they said."

If we send people to capture Chu Huanyan now, it will definitely be in vain, and maybe if we are not careful, we will fall into their trap.

The top priority now is the birthday banquet in two days and the secret man.

Thinking of this, Emperor Xiao looked at Eunuch Zheng, "How about the matter you were asked to investigate?"

Eunuch Zheng's heart tightened, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. There is no news yet, but my servants have sent extra manpower to investigate carefully. Everyone who can get close to the Emperor's palace will be investigated one by one."

Emperor Xiao frowned, words of rebuke were on his lips, but looking at Eunuch Zheng, he finally gave up.

"Continue to investigate, we must find out who placed the letter in my bedroom, and then follow the clues to find out the person behind the scenes."

"Yes, I obey."

……

Zhaoxia Hall.

When Chu Huanyan arrived, Concubine Xue was sitting on the swing in the back garden, swinging slowly.

Qiu Shuang stands beside her, the picture is peaceful and harmonious.

Concubine Xue on the swing is wearing a white dress, and her black hair is only half held by a hairpin. At first glance, she looks like a carefree boudoir girl, but if you get closer, you can clearly see the traces on her face. That scar.

Because there was no medicine to remove the scar, the scar was clearly visible.

"My daughter has met the noble concubine." Chu Huanyan leaned down and saluted.

Concubine Xue was sitting on the swing, looking at her with a smile and waving to her.

"Come and sit."
