Not only Xia Chenhuan, Xiao Haoxuan also didn't know what to do with this child.

Since ancient times, Gongwei has been in the dark, and only one-fifth of the children in the royal family can be born smoothly, and only one-third of them can grow up safely and have weak crowns.

Only princes and princesses of the full moon will be given names, and if they die early, they can enter the imperial tomb.But if he died before he was born, he would have no plaque, no mausoleum, and nowhere to worship.

Gu Yao and Xiao Haoxuan said that as long as he was willing, Xiao Chuyi would give the child his name and a jade plate, enshrine him as a son, bury him in the imperial tomb, and record it in the annals of history.Give this child the respect and honor it deserves, and burn incense for future generations to pay homage to.

However, Xiao Haoxuan was worried that the solemn ceremony and official records would make Xia Chenhuan feel guilty forever, unable to get out of the shadows.

But he couldn't just abandon the child at will and pretend nothing happened.

Xiao Haoxuan knew very well that Xia Chenhuan's failure to mention this child did not mean that he had forgotten or escaped.On the contrary, he was buried too deep, and the pain was too deep.

Suffering from insomnia every night, Xiao Haoxuan finally chose to bury the child in another courtyard.Where he vanishes, the soul may remain around.

Xiao Haoxuan needed to give Xia Chenhuan an exit, he was afraid that this person would be as innocent as before, but festered and corrupted inside.

The mat had already been laid in front of the monument, Xiao Haoxuan took Xia Chenhuan, who was in a daze, and knelt down, encircling him from behind, holding his hand and placing it on the jade monument.

Xiao Haoxuan believed that Xia Chenhuan already understood the meaning of the name, but he still wanted to say it to the other party himself, "'Jué is the king of jade, this piece of Hetian white jade is the only one in the world that is pure and free of impurities, just like ours As pure and beautiful as your child."

Xia Chenhuan's throat tightened, and her fingers trembled uncontrollably.He tentatively caressed the jade tablet, as if he was caressing a child he had never met.

Even if Xia Chenhuan didn't say anything, Xiao Haoxuan could guess that the baby in his nightmare must have been poisoned and turned black, bloody and miserable.

Did he let Xia Chenhuan look at the child?The scars can heal slowly, but the pictures will remain in the mind forever.

There are some things that only Xiao Haoxuan can remember alone.He hoped that what Xia Chenhuan would leave behind would be beautiful memories, warm memories of when Jue'er was in her stomach.

The hand on Xia Chenhuan's waist tightened a bit, and the man whispered in his ear, "'Jue' also refers to the sweet sound made when the two jades meet. Jue'er is the child of both of us, and only our child. He Just buried here, you can visit him as long as you want, no one will bother you."

Yes, Jue'er is their common treasure and pain.Xiao Haoxuan doesn't need other people to show sympathy and talk.

Xia Chenhuan had tears in her eyes, the tip of her nose was flushed, and she was already choking.He turned his head to look at Xiao Haoxuan, who smiled faintly at him, tolerant as always.From the moment he woke up, the man tolerated him unconditionally.

Xia Chenhuan touched the jade tablet and called out hoarsely, "Jue'er, Jue'er..."

Xiao Haoxuan personally arranged the sacrifices prepared on the side, poured two glasses of wine and offered them in front of the stele, and lit incense and handed them to Xia Chenhuan.

Xia Chenhuan took it tremblingly, knelt up straight and meditated in his heart for a moment, opened his eyes, and solemnly inserted the incense.

The same is true for Xiao Haoxuan.

Then the two burned the ghost paper in front of the stele.Xiao Haoxuan embraced Xia Chenhuan, and rubbed the side of his waist comfortingly, "Today is Jue'er's first seven days, he can hear you talking to him, he knows you are thinking about him."

Xiao Haoxuan doesn't believe in ghosts and gods.Being in the royal family, I know the most that the divine right of kings is just a means for the emperor to justify himself and restrain his subjects.

But now he understands that sometimes the living need a reason to let him go and convince himself to live.

Xia Chenhuan froze, her blue eyes were bloodshot, fixed on the jade tablet, she opened her mouth several times but still could not make a sound.

The man didn't urge him, but just burned papers one after another.

After a while, "I'm sorry, Yu'er...I'm sorry...Yu'er, I'm sorry...Yu'er..." spread through the Taolin, and was gradually blown away by the autumn wind.

Xiao Haoxuan hugged Xia Chenhuan tighter and tighter, and the two warmed each other with their body temperature.

The man stared at the jade tablet with dark eyes, whispered silently, and also said "I'm sorry."

This is Xiao Haoxuan's first child.For the first time, he waited with anticipation for a life to come, and it was also the first time he tasted the pain of bereavement.

It hurts so much, but he can't fall down, because there is another person who hurts more than him and needs his protection.

Xiao Haoxuan covered Xia Chenhuan in his arms with his cloak to prevent him from catching cold.

The two hugged each other for a moment, Xiao Haoxuan said softly, "The wind is blowing, let's go back."

Xia Chenhuan looked at the jade tablet for another moment, nodded, and said "OK".

Xiao Haoxuan helped him up.Xia Chenhuan knelt and sat for a long time, his legs were weak, and he staggered into the man's arms for a moment.The other party frowned distressedly, picked him up and walked back to the main hall.

In the next few days, Xia Chenhuan's condition began to improve.Although I still can't sleep well, I will wake up once in the middle of the night, but I no longer have nightmares dripping with cold sweat.

He would go to Jue'er's monument to stay for a while every day, and Xiao Haoxuan would not allow Xia Chenhuan to blow the wind outside for too long.He didn't speak, just stroking the jade stele, wondering what he was thinking.

Xiao Haoxuan understood that Xia Chenhuan was beginning to face reality.No matter the pain or sorrow, you should stop deceiving yourself and pretending nothing happened.

This was a good sign, he didn't expect Xia Chenhuan to be relieved in a day or two.It takes time for the wound to heal, scab, and recover.

Xiao Haoxuan was not in a hurry, but the progress of the matter was much faster than he expected.

On the tenth day after Jiang Li's assassination, Bai Chen hurried back to Yanjing.

Even though the entire other courtyard was surrounded by master guards, Bai Chen remained undiscovered by anyone, and appeared out of nowhere to stand in front of Li Wen.

Li Wen was so frightened that his heart almost didn't jump out, and immediately reported to the prince.

When Xiao Haoxuan walked into the study, Bai Chen was drinking tea, his elegant posture could not conceal his dusty clothes and tired eyes, he was in a state of embarrassment that he had never seen before.

Traveling back and forth between the border and Yanjing in ten days, it is not difficult to imagine how fast the horse is, galloping against the wind.

Xiao Haoxuan's gaze slowed down, he walked to the table and sat down.

This is the first time the two have seen each other since the assassination.Bai Chen lost the cynical look of the past, his face was solemn, and the emotions in his eyes were turbulent and complicated.

The two stared at each other in silence, the room was so quiet that one could hear a needle drop on the ground.

After a while, Bai Chen pursed his lips and spoke with guilt, "Is he okay?"

Xiao Haoxuan naturally knew that he was asking Xia Chenhuan, so he nodded, "It's okay."

Bai Chen's face was still gloomy, and he said after two minutes, "I'm the one who implicated you." He paused, and with difficulty squeezed the three words out of his throat, "And the child."

Xiao Haoxuan was noncommittal, poured himself a cup of tea and drank it all without changing his face, and said in a deep voice, "Some things are out of your control, you can only decide how to deal with them. If I have the ability to protect them, what about the grievances between you and Jiang Li? So what if Jiang Li goes crazy and retaliates?" The words were indifferent.

Xiao Haoxuan and Bai Chen are the same kind of people, they don't blame others, they don't blame others, they only take the responsibility on themselves, and they always look for their own problems first.

Knowing that Hao Xuan didn't blame him, Bai Chen loosened the big rock on his chest, and immediately pressed it down again.

He didn't continue this topic, cleared his throat, and started to talk about business, "Jiang Li hid in the Netherworld Palace. Tianling Mountain has a natural barrier, plus the poisonous mist in the maze, it's easy to defend and hard to attack, so he can't move him yet. But All the entrances and exits have been blocked, they will not last long."

Seeing Xiao Haoxuan nodding his head in acquiescence, Bai Chen continued, "The Shujian League has cooperated with the Wenli Pavilion to comprehensively suppress Huajianjiao's influence in various parts of the Xia Kingdom. The head teacher and branch altars will fight together, and Jiang Li has no chance of turning over."

A flash of hostility flashed in Xiao Haoxuan's eyes, and he said coldly, "Catch him alive, death is too cheap for him."

The same murderous look flashed in Bai Chen's eyes, "Don't worry, I won't let him go easily." Even if it wasn't for revenge, Jiang Li couldn't let Jiang Li harm their chance again.

Xiao Haoxuan restrained his evil spirit, and changed the topic, "Has the person who bought the murder been found out?"

Bai Chen frowned, not sure what he said, "According to the news from Huajianjiao, Emperor Xia and the Yin family should be behind the scenes."

Xiao Haoxuan's face darkened, and the air pressure instantly dropped.He remained silent, with waves in his eyes, and he asked after a while, "Are you sure? What else did you find? Did Emperor Xia make any changes?"

Although Xia Huang's assassination of Xia Chenhuan is justifiable, it is illogical after careful consideration.At least Xiao Haoxuan hasn't seen the real and complete logic yet.

For one thing, even if Xia Chenhuan died, the alliance could still continue.It would be too reckless to pay for murder.

Secondly, since he already knew what Xia Chenshuo was thinking, Emperor Xia should immediately control Xia Chenshuo after the assassination, and catch him off guard, instead of being silent like now.

So Xiao Haoxuan was sure that there was something crucial that he didn't know yet.

Emperor Xia's thoughts were indeed more than that.

Except for Shanggu's army, half of the generals of the Akabane Army and the Forbidden Army have actually stood in Xia Chenshuo's camp.

Not to mention whether it was possible to kill Xia Chenshuo, if he died, the Zheng clan would probably rely on their existing power and strength to join forces with King Xuan to seek rebellion.

Therefore, the most important thing for Emperor Xia is to let Dayan give up Xia Chenshuo and stand on his side

So Emperor Xia never did anything.One touch of Xia Chenshuo proved that he knew about his alliance with King Xuan, and proved that he paid for the murder.After that, she couldn't pretend to be innocent and blame Xia Chenhuan and Xia Chenshuo for the replacement marriage.

Xia Huang Ruyi made a good plan, but he didn't expect that since Xia Chenyu offered his plan, he had already fallen into Jiang Li's trap.

He had agreed with Huajian Sect to blame Xia Chenshuo for buying murder.After Xia Chenhuan's real identity is leaked out, Xia Chenshuo can be accused of murdering someone to silence him.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Li only wanted to claim that Emperor Xia had killed King Xuan, forcing the two countries to go to war.

But neither of them expected that Xia Chenhuan was not dead, and neither was Xiao Haoxuan.

With such turbulent waves, what he wanted King Xuan to find out was indeed found out.

Bai Chen's face was extremely ugly, he pursed his lips, hesitant to speak.Finally, he took out two scrolls from behind and handed one of them to Xiao Haoxuan.

Although Xiao Haoxuan didn't know what he meant, he still took a closer look.

It is a portrait of a person.

Bai Chen said, "This is the portrait of Xia Chenyu presented by the envoy of Xia Kingdom during the marriage."

At that time, Xiao Haoxuan agreed to the marriage without even looking at the portrait, but now it seems that he is [-]% similar to a real person, more in appearance than in spirit.

Xiao Haoxuan looked at Bai Chen and raised his eyebrows, his doubts were obvious.

Bai Chen took a breath, made up his mind, and handed another painting to Xiao Haoxuan.

The second painting caught Xiao Haoxuan's eyes, and he recognized Xia Chenhuan at a glance.The painting has both human beings and gods, and the painter's skills are superb. It is indeed a masterpiece.

Xiao Haoxuan unconsciously raised the corners of his mouth, but froze the moment he saw the words mentioned, his pupils dilated.

There was a "boom" in the head, as if struck by lightning.Xiao Haoxuan stared at the six characters "Seventh Prince Xia Chenhuan" next to the signature in a daze for a moment, then suddenly raised his head to look at Bai Chen, his eyes were sharp, as if he wanted to eat people.

He shouldn't have said this, Bai Chen gritted his teeth, with a solemn expression, and said every word with certainty, "He is not Xia Chenyu, but Xia Chenhuan, the seventh prince of Xia Kingdom."

Xiao Haoxuan fell into an ice cave in an instant, his whole body was cold and numb, and his heart sank to the bottom like a boulder was tied.
