usurped

When the man sitting in the outer room heard this low cry, his head shook suddenly, he paused for a moment, then picked up the candlestick on the table and walked towards the inner room.Entering the back room, he immediately saw the teenager's defenseless sleeping appearance, and even the quilt had been kicked so that most of his body was exposed.

Xiao Yan placed the candlestick on a table on the left side of the bed, then took a small round chair by the bedside, and sat down quietly.

"Brother, Brother Yujue──"

Xiao Yan looked at the boy's forehead soaked in cold sweat without the slightest emotion in his eyes, but he just curled his lips into a sarcastic smile, but a big hand had already gently grasped the boy's half-hanging wrist.

"What's the matter, brother Yujue is right here, don't be afraid!" He said softly, but the coldness on the corners of his lips did not diminish at all.

Hearing the sound, the boy's condensed facial features stretched a little, his flailing limbs gradually quieted down, and his constantly moving lips slowly pursed into a straight line.

Yu Jue?Xiao Yan frowned and thought.

"Hmph—" He snorted coldly, "What a boring brotherhood."

It's just that the silence didn't last long, and soon, the young man in the bed began to moan again, his body curled up into a ball abnormally, his teeth biting his upper and lower lips tightly.

Although the candlelight was weak, Xiao Yan still noticed that the boy's lips were turning blue, and his body was also slightly convulsed.Poisoned?He quickly stretched out two fingers to touch the boy's wrist.

question (overhaul)

"You, what are you doing, let me go──" Xiao Baorong was awakened by the abdominal pain, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that his wrist was actually held by a man.He was out of breath for a while, and he didn't care about the pain, he half stood up and pulled his hand back.

Xiao Yan smiled frivolously, looking at the young man's expression of fear of being bullied, he couldn't help but want to tease him, but considering his body, he still suppressed this thought in his heart, and asked: "What's wrong with you these two days? , did you eat anything unclean?"

Xiao Baorong didn't seem to have recovered from the shock and anger just now, and there was still cold hostility in his eyes.

"What do I eat, it has nothing to do with you, why should I tell you?"

"Why did you tell me?" After hearing this, Xiao Yan couldn't help laughing, he slowly leaned forward, and said with a smirk: "Of course it's because of your body, if you don't tell me, your Body──I can’t guarantee that I can survive tomorrow──”

"You──cough cough──" Xiao Baorong hadn't finished speaking, and he turned sideways and coughed violently.

"What did I say—" Xiao Yan put his hand on his back and slowly helped him to breathe, "I advise you to tell me honestly, have you had any strange drinks in the past two days?" Things, because only in this way can I help you remove the toxins in your body!"

As soon as he heard the poison, Xiao Baorong's pupils dilated immediately, he raised his head suddenly, and stared at the man's eyes.

"Poison?" He took a short breath, and his brows tightened a little bit as the abdominal pain became more severe, "What poison?"

Xiao Baorong didn't look like the man was lying, but how could it be possible to talk about poison.There was no chance for others to poison him. All the food and tea he ate and the soup and tea he drank were all delivered by his personal servants. How could it be poisonous?

"It seems—" Xiao Yan's eyes flashed with disdain, "It seems that your emperor's elder brother can't hold a speck of sand in his eyes anymore, and he is in a hurry to kill all his remaining brothers. If the throne is not guaranteed, it will be your elder brother Baojue first, and then you."

"You, you are talking nonsense, all my meals are delivered by my own servants, this—"

"Personal servant? Do you think there are any personal servants in this deep palace? As long as they have money, anyone can be your personal servant. Similarly, they can betray you because of money──" Xiao Yan With cold lips drawn, it was obvious that between his brows and eyes, he was laughing at the childishness of the boy in front of him.

"You mean──well──" Xiao Baorong lowered his head in a burst of acute pain, and tightly pulled the clothes on his stomach with his hands.How could it be so painful? Do you really think what this man said, is he poisoned? But, how is this possible?

"Lie down──" Xiao Yan's low tone carried a hint of order.

"──" Xiao Baorong almost exhausted all his strength just by enduring the pain. At this time, he couldn't utter a word, so he could only do what the man said.

He tried to lie flat on the bed, but as soon as he stretched out, the cramping pain in his abdomen became more severe, as if thousands of poisonous snakes were gnawing on him, but soon, the pain gradually eased .

He slightly opened his eyelids, and saw the man lightly pressing his palm on his lower abdomen, and a cloud of faint mist rose above the back of his hand.

"You...why did you save me?" After the pain eased, Xiao Baorong lay on the bed, but turned his head to the inner side of the bed, as if he was avoiding something.

From the day he was born and remembered, except for Brother Baojue, he never remembered anything that was so kind to him when he was uncomfortable, and what the man in front of him did made him temporarily feel like saying no. Out of tension and panic.

"Why did I save you?" Xiao Yan glanced at his slightly rosy cheeks seemingly casually, knowing that after his treatment just now, the boy's body is no longer in serious condition, but he needs to recover slowly for a few days before he recovers. Day, so he withdrew his hand and said:

"Of course it's because you are still valuable to me, Xiao Yan, so I want to save your life. But when my goal is achieved, it depends on my mood and your own good fortune .”

Xiao Baorong smiled faintly, he didn't care about any mood or fortune.He has long put his own life and death aside, as long as he can save brother Baojue, it doesn't matter if he loses anything.

"Then—how do you plan to rescue the people imprisoned in Fuxi Garden?"

"You don't need to worry about this. Since I promised to help you rescue him, I will definitely not let him die there. As for the method, that is my own business—" Xiao Yan glanced at the young man's frail face. Body, and then got up, "It's still early before dawn, you should take a good rest for a while, if my prediction is correct, soon after dawn, your brother emperor will send someone to look for you."

"Send someone to find me?"

"Of course I will send someone to look for you. He wants to see what will happen to the person who is planning to kill you... If you die, he will be happy. If you are not dead and still alive, then this matter── But it's hard to say—" After Xiao Yan finished speaking, he turned and walked towards the outer room.

Is it hard to say?After Xiao Yan left, Xiao Baorong kept thinking over what he had just said.Could it be that Brother Huang really wants to kill all his own brothers before giving up?If that's the case, what should I do tomorrow, even if I am sure to die, I have to wait until I rescue Brother Baojue!

The next day, after Xiao Baorong got up, dressed and washed, he sat at the table in the outer room as usual, waiting for his own servant to serve the food, while Xiao Yan hid in the inner room to avoid people's eyes and ears.

Not long after, a childish voice sounded outside the door.

"My lord, the slave has brought you food!"

"Come in!" Xiao Baorong's voice was still gentle and elegant, and it definitely didn't sound like the tone that a prince should have.

After the door was pushed open, a boy in a lake-blue cloth came in. He was still holding a tray with hot meals in his hand.

After placing the food on the table one by one, the boy was about to salute and leave when he heard Xiao Baorong say: "Close the door, I have a few words to ask you."

I don't need you to teach me

This little boy was exactly his personal attendant that Xiao Baorong mentioned in his mouth. Judging from his age, this little boy was only eleven or two years old. No matter how Xiao Baorong looked at it, he didn't think he seemed like someone who would poison himself.

"Yes──" Xiaotong replied without much fear on his face. After he turned around and closed the door behind him, he returned to Xiao Baorong again, with his head down, waiting for questions.

"This king asks you, you must answer truthfully, if not, then blame this king for not remembering the old relationship."

The little boy had never heard such harsh words from his master, and he immediately fell to his knees in fright.

"My lord, is it because the slave did something wrong that made the lord unhappy, if... If that's the case, then the slave—"

"Okay, you get up first, this king just wants to ask you a few words, as long as you are so nervous, if this matter has nothing to do with you, this king will not blame you."

"Yes, yes──" the little boy stood up tremblingly, unconsciously tugging at his clothes with both hands, lowered his head, not even daring to breathe, and Xiao Yan who was hiding in the back also raised a corner of the door curtain , carefully observing every move outside.

Xiao Baorong glanced at the food on the table out of the corner of his eye, and then asked straightforwardly in a cold voice: "This king asks you, have you ever poisoned this king's food?"

Not long after standing up, the little boy fell to his knees on the ground again, kowtowing his head vigorously, "Your Majesty, the slave, the servant has never poisoned the prince's food, really, really no---"

Looking at Xiao Tong who was still a child, Xiao Baorong asked himself if he was being too strict. After all, he had been by his side for two or three years, how could he poison himself?As he thought about it, he got up and walked in front of the little boy, put his hands on the still trembling thin shoulders, and his cold voice softened a little.

"Get up! This king is just asking to see how frightened you are. It's okay. Since you didn't do it, you should retreat first!"

The little boy stood up slowly, and then
