As the night fell like water, a figure wearing a cloak came out of the secret room, silently walked up to the emperor and knelt down.

"You are here..." The emperor leaned on the soft couch and closed his eyes to rest.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Huo Yidao took off the cloak, revealing a much thinner face.

The emperor opened his eyes and stared at him with scrutiny and questioning in his eyes. It's not that Huo Yidao didn't know what he was suspicious of, but he couldn't explain it.

Only now did he realize what a stupid thing he had done, he was simply not human inside and out.

"Okay, get up. Although this incident didn't work out, it's good that you weren't exposed..." The emperor frowned, and asked uncomfortably, "You haven't been exposed, have you?"

"Probably not." Huo Yidao recalled what happened at home in the past two days. It seemed that everyone's attitude towards him was still the same. On the contrary, Huo Yilong, who had just left customs, was punished to kneel in the ancestral hall because of his illegitimate child.

It seems that the matter of that letter has passed, and his father didn't ask anyone to investigate. Huo Yidao's intuition is not normal, but he can't tell what is abnormal.

"That's good." The emperor gave Huo Yidao a hand, and sighed: "I thought it was safe, but I didn't expect your father to be so vigilant. When did he find out?"

"I don't know either." Huo Yidao boldly met the emperor's gaze without any pretense.

The emperor stood up from the soft couch, wearing only a thin pajamas, revealing his thin body.

Huo Yidao was stunned, he hadn't realized that the emperor's body had deteriorated to such an extent, and looking at his face, it was much darker than usual, and he coughed a few times from time to time.

It seems that the rumors that the emperor's health is getting weaker are not rumors, no wonder even the eldest prince can't help but want to take action.

"The emperor must take care of the dragon's body. The Huo family's affairs can't be rushed." It's true that he wanted to be the head of the family, he wanted to change the Huo family's way of life, but he also didn't want to see the Huo family end up beheaded.

At that time, he was persuaded by the emperor to put away the letter, but he regretted it afterwards, and he had trouble sleeping and eating. He also thought about changing the letter secretly, but he didn't have that chance.

Marshal Huo's study is not so easy to enter. Even if he is the serious young master of the Huo family, he needs his father's permission to enter.

And under normal circumstances, there will be someone to accompany him. That day, he also accompanied a lieutenant general to the study room to pick up something. He secretly hid the letter in a book while the other party was bending over to find something, and then remembered the name of the book. I had to quit.

"Next, I have a plan for Aiqing to cooperate with." The emperor fiddled with the wick of the oil lamp with scissors, and the light in the hall flickered and became brighter.

Huo Yidao lowered his head, making it hard to see his expression, "Your Majesty, please order."

"The charge of collaborating with the enemy and traitorous country is not convicted. It is not impossible to look for evidence, but it seems too deliberate. Why don't you transfer your father and elder brother to the southeast coast to resist the pirates. Without them sitting in the capital, I want to establish a fourth prince." Things will go more smoothly.”

"Sea bandits?" Huo Yidao didn't know why.

"Yeah, there should be news tomorrow. A group of rebellious officials and thieves always like to cause trouble for me. The people who are making trouble are destitute. They should be killed!"

Huo Yidao still knows about this matter. He heard that the former second prince who fled back then stationed on an isolated island overseas and made a living by plundering the people along the coast. He had to go ashore at least three times a year, and every time he passed, all the officials would be killed. , the people can live as long as they hand in food and property.

"Wouldn't it be a little bit..." to ask my father and elder brother to suppress the bandits..." Overkill?

That group was actually not many, and three thousand soldiers and horses could handle it, but they were too alert, and they often fled out of the sea before the imperial army arrived.

There are so many overseas islands that there is no trace of these people.

"There is no one in the court." The emperor said hypocritically, "Marshal Huo is the general I trust the most, and only he can be sure that everything will be safe."

Huo Yidao didn't believe the emperor's words, but it was absolutely true that he wanted to transfer his father out of the capital.

"Then what does the emperor need the minister to do?"

The emperor looked at him with piercing eyes and said with a smile, "You will follow this time, I want to know their whereabouts and deployment."

"Chen, it's a civil servant!" Huo Yidao said with his head bowed.

"What's wrong with the civil servants? Which army doesn't have civil servants? I will order you to be a supervisor and assist Marshal Huo in suppressing bandits."

"This...Will my father find out?" If his father really knew that he was a traitor to the Huo family, he couldn't imagine what would happen to him.

"No, they will only think that this is my compensation to the Huo family, an opportunity for your family to make meritorious deeds, it's cheap, and no one else wants it."

Huo Yidao didn't know how he got out of the palace, he was full of thoughts about whether he could get what he wanted in the end.

It is impossible for a tree to become a forest on its own, and it is impossible for him to support the Huo family by himself. He was worried that the emperor would take advantage of the situation and kill the entire family of the Huo family.

Although the emperor had promised him, he didn't really believe what the emperor said, so he had to make extra preparations.

Back home through the back door, Huo Yidao did not rush to light the lamp after entering the house, but sat in front of the window and meditated. The emperor did not tell him the specific action plan this time, but he guessed that the emperor wanted to use the hands of the pirates to get rid of him. Get rid of his father.

But where does the other party have the confidence to get rid of his father?Huo Yidao felt that there must be details that he didn't know.

"Where did you go?" A familiar voice suddenly sounded in the room, and Huo Yidao almost fell off his chair in fright.

"Who?...Father?" Huo Yidao's heartbeat accelerated, and he saw a blurry figure following the direction of the voice.

His throat moved, and he was sure that there was absolutely no such shadow when he entered the door just now.

"Where have you been?" Huo Zhengquan asked repeatedly.

Huo Yidao gradually calmed down, went to light the oil lamp, and clearly saw the man sitting beside his bed in outerwear.

Instead of answering, he asked, "Why doesn't father go to bed so late?"

"Well, I came out for a walk when I couldn't sleep, and I happened to pass by your yard, so I wanted to come in and play chess with you." After all, Huo Yidao is a civil servant, and his level of chess playing is the highest among the brothers of the Huo family.

Huo Yidao smiled, "So my father wanted to play chess. My son just received a letter from a friend and went out for a little get-together. He came back late, so he didn't go through the main entrance."

The Huo family's discipline on their children was not too strict, especially after he decided to take the civil service route, Huo Zhengquan basically ignored him, and it was common for him to come back late at night.

But today's Huo Zhengquan is not so easy to talk to, "Oh, who did you go out with? Our Huo family is in troubled times, so be careful not to follow other people's ways."

Huo Yidao's heart skipped a beat, he didn't know if there was something in his words, he said calmly: "Father is worrying too much, he is the son's colleague, a young doctor, something happened at home and he feels uncomfortable, ask the son to have a few drinks with him."

Huo Yidao has always been a cautious person. At this time, he does have a slight smell of alcohol. If he is not suspicious, he must believe it.

Huo Zhengquan was silent for a long time, just when Huo Yidao thought he had exposed a flaw, the other party stood up with a sigh and said, "That's good, let's rest early."

Looking at the back of him leaving, Huo Yidao covered his eyes. He didn't know what he had done. These years, this matter has become his obsession, and he will continue no matter what.

After Huo Zhengquan went out, he didn't go back to the room immediately, but went to the study. A man in black appeared in the darkness, kneeling respectfully in the study.

"Tell me what you see."

"Yes, my subordinate followed the second young master and saw him go to a tavern. He sat there alone and drank half a jug of wine, then said he needed to go to the toilet and went to the backyard of the tavern. The subordinate did not dare to leave, so he followed I went, but who knew that when I got to the backyard, I saw the second young master entering a room, and when the subordinates went to the roof to look down, they found that there was no one in the room, and the second young master had disappeared.

The subordinates were taken aback, making sure that the second young master had never left that room, so they waited on the roof until an hour later they saw him coming out of a secret door.

The subordinates didn't know where the secret door led to, and they didn't dare to touch it lightly, so they asked the master to decide. "

Huo Zhengquan frowned fiercely. This son has been different since he was a child. He was very talented in martial arts when he was a child. He would have thought that he was the most qualified member of the Huo family, but he did not expect that he would abandon martial arts halfway and follow the civil service, and insisted on taking the imperial examination to become a civil servant.

The Huo family doesn't need a court elder to support their appearance, nor can there be an elder in the Huo family, so he would rather suppress his official career.

Both father and son are well aware of these things. He has always been angry and guilty towards this son, and he doesn't care much about him.

"Give me the location of the secret passage, send two more people to follow him, and report to me every move you make."

"Yes, the pub is at the end of Dongyang Street. There is a blue flag hanging in front of the door. There is a row of small rooms in the backyard of the pub. The third room from the left. The secret door is on the south wall, and there is a row of bookshelves on the wall. The subordinates did not see how the second young master opened the door."

"Well, I see." Huo Zhengquan waved him out, and sat in the study until dawn.

Too many things have happened recently, he was worried about the safety of the children in his family, so he privately sent people to protect them. These people have high martial arts skills and lightness skills, and it is difficult for ordinary people to find their traces.

Except for Yin Xu who sent people back early, the rest of the sons didn't know about it.

I didn't expect to find such an interesting thing.

Thinking of Teng Yu, Huo Zhengquan was not sure if he knew something, if so, then his hand was stretched too far.
