After returning to Hou Mansion, Bai Tangzhi finally expressed the doubts in his heart.

Hou Xiqiao was surprisingly patient this time. He told Bai Tangzhi that the woman who appeared in the hall today was Li Sheng's daughter Li Heyan. As for why Li Heyan appeared, Hou Xiqiao didn't know the reason.

I am afraid that only Sima Hong knows the truth of everything.Counting the days, the enthronement ceremony will be held tomorrow. As Sima Hong's confidant, Hou Xiqiao naturally has many things to handle personally, so Bai Tangzhi didn't ask any more questions.

In the evening, Hou Xiqiao returned to the Hou Mansion alone. He told Bai Tangzhi that Sima Hong was hosting a banquet in the palace and specially invited the two of them. Good clothes enter the palace with the Houxi Bridge.

At this time Sima Hong had already sat down, he looked kindly at Hou Xiqiao and Bai Tangzhi who entered the door, and warmly greeted them to sit down.Apart from the servants, there was also a woman at the table that Bai Tangzhi had never seen before.

Judging from her clothes, she should have a high status, at least she came from a princely family. Just looking at her appearance, she is not outstanding. It can be described as beautiful, but it is far from as breathtaking as Li Heyan.

However, her face gave people a light and peaceful feeling, like a piece of uncooked jade after being warmed by others, it is warm and cool at the beginning, quite like the charm of the sister next door.

Sima Hong spoke first, and he preached to Hou Xiqiao. Now he is the emperor, but they are still good brothers in private.

Hou Xiqiao and Sima Hong have known each other since they were ten years old, and now it has been 15 years. Now one is the emperor worshiped by thousands of people, and the other is a powerful general. No one in this world should be able to bully them .

Bai Tangzhi couldn't get in the way. From their conversation, Bai Tangzhi gradually figured out the relationship between the three of them. Sitting next to Sima Hong was the current princess Sima Wan.

Back then Hou Xiqiao was seriously ill and was thrown on the street. Sima Wan and Sima Hong happened to pass by. Sima Hong ran all the way with the seriously ill Hou Xiqiao on his back. It was easy to save Hou Xiqiao.

Later, the three became inseparable friends. At that time, Sima Hong joked that when he became emperor, he would let Hou Xiqiao be the general, and then marry his sister Sima Wan to Hou Xiqiao.

But later, for some reason, the late emperor had always had opinions on Sima Hong, and even made a fuss about dismissing the prince. For more than ten years, Sima Hong worshiped Cheng Dan as his teacher, so he was very cautious in his words and deeds, for fear that the late emperor would find an excuse to depose him. He was abolished, and then another prince was established.

Sima Hong didn't want to see such a result, so he became more and more cautious. He did the duties that a prince should do, and he didn't let the emperor pick out any faults. After 15 years of trembling, he finally got rid of that. The old immortal took the throne in his hands.

But what Sima Hong didn't expect was that Hou Xiqiao actually resigned at the banquet, saying that he didn't want to continue to be an official, but planned to go to Wudang Mountain to become a Taoist priest, and he would never ask about world affairs since then.

As for Sima Wan, Hou Xiqiao didn't want to marry either. He asked Sima Hong to look for a candidate earlier. Sima Wan was not young and could not delay any longer.

At this time, Sima Hong had already drunk for three rounds. After hearing this, Sima Hong laughed out loud. He thought it was just a joke of Hou Xiqiao.

Because when Hou Xiqiao was a child, he always said that he would become a Taoist priest when he grew up, so he thought it was Hou Xiqiao's drunken words, which were not credible.But when Hou Xiqiao knelt in front of Sima Hong, Sima Hong realized that Hou Xiqiao was serious.

Sima Hong drew his sword to face each other in a rage. He didn't understand why Hou Xiqiao did this. After a long time, Sima Hong withdrew his sword and said to himself:

"Forget it, let you go, if you have made up your mind, don't regret it!"

After all, Sima Hong walked away, and Sima Wan was worried about his younger brother, so he also left. Only the bewildered Bai Tangzhi and the kneeling Hou Xiqiao were left at the banquet.

About a quarter of an hour later, Hou Xiqiao stood up, glanced at the direction Sima Hong was leaving, and then brought Baitangzhi back to the mansion.

Seeing that Sima Hong was fine, Sima Wan also returned to the room. Sima Hong's expression was ferocious at the moment. Looking at the long sword in his hand, he remembered what happened not long ago.

When Sima Hong led people into the prime minister's mansion, Li Sheng was still sleeping in the gentle village, Sima Hong put the blade on Li Sheng's neck, Li Sheng finally realized, he knelt down in front of Sima Hong, begging Sima Hong spared his life.

Li Sheng promised that in the future, the crown prince would be the leader, but Sima Hong didn't care about this at all. What he really cared about was the truth, a truth that drove Sima Hong crazy, why did the emperor treat his mother so cruelly back then.

At that time, Sima Hong was still an innocent child, but he had already remembered. Sima Hong saw with his own eyes that his father stabbed his mother to death with a sword, even cut off her limbs, and finally scratched her face with the tip of the sword. .

Sima Hong hid in the corner and did not dare to move, then he saw that man, his father, walking towards him with the sword that killed his mother, Sima Hong was terrified, his father was about to kill He, Sima Hong couldn't figure out why.

Later, it was Cheng Dan who fought with death and saved Sima Hong's life. Since then, Sima Hong has been living in the East Palace and never set foot in the Imperial Palace again.

Later, this incident became Sima Hong's nightmare every night. It was not until Sima Wan appeared that all this changed. This sister-like character gave Sima Hong great comfort and made him feel some light in the dark.

As he grew older, Sima Hong gradually took control of some forces. He investigated the matter secretly and found that the culprit of all this was Li Sheng, the current prime minister.

Back then when Li Sheng appealed to the emperor, the document described Sima Hong's mother as a heinous villain, saying that she caused trouble in the harem, wantonly killed the lives of other concubines, and even murdered the current emperor with witchcraft.

It was precisely because of this document that the emperor ordered a thorough investigation of the empress, and the end of the empress was exactly what Sima Hong saw at that time.Sima Hong looked through Li Sheng's documents at that time, and the content was no different from the results of the investigation.

Sima Hong wanted power, but he also wanted to rehabilitate his mother. Sima Hong pressed him for the reason, but Li Sheng hesitated to explain. Sima Hong cut off Li Sheng's arm with a sword, and Li Sheng immediately rolled on the ground in pain, filling the room All his wailing.

Sima Hong continued to press, and Li Sheng told the truth obediently. In fact, it wasn't that Li Sheng and the empress had any quarrel. The root of all this came from the emperor himself.

The emperor was tired of the empress long ago, and he wanted to appoint someone else, but the empress himself had no faults, and it was difficult to change. Later, the emperor came up with an idea, which was to let Li Sheng frame the empress, so as to achieve the emperor's own goal.

But later the queen and the emperor had a dispute, and the emperor killed the queen in a rage, which caused an irreparable tragedy.

Sima Hong listened quietly to Li Sheng's narration, his hatred had become uncontrollable, when Li Sheng finished speaking the last sentence, Sima Hong cut off Li Sheng's head with a sword.

When the body and head were separated, Li Sheng's eyes were full of panic. He seemed to have seen the future and saw the blood flowing into the prime minister's mansion.

After Li Sheng's death, Sima Hong ordered that there should be no living things in the prime minister's mansion, but there was one exception, that is Li Heyan. When Sima Hong saw her, he stopped for a moment.

This woman is like a peony among thousands of flowers, extremely rich and beautiful. In today's world, when it comes to beauty, Li Heyan should be the undisputed master of alluring women.

Since Li Sheng had caused him so much harm back then, this woman should be regarded as Li Sheng's compensation to him. Sima Hong did not kill Li Heyan, but brought her back to the East Palace.

After cleaning up the prime minister's mansion, the current emperor, his father, Sima Hong entered the palace with a sword, and he ordered Jin Wuwei to capture the emperor alive and bring him to him.

Not long after, the emperor was sent over by Wuhuada. He looked panic-stricken, as if he hadn't figured out the situation yet. Sima Hong didn't give him a chance to think, but slashed at the emperor one after another.

The sword scars of different shades told of Sima Hong's unwillingness and fear back then, and all the hatred he had had over the years had been vented one by one today, and Sima Hong didn't stop until he was exhausted.

At this time, the emperor was already a dilapidated dead body, and it was impossible to tell whether it was still a complete body.Of course, he didn't do it all to avenge his mother, but also the persecution of his father and emperor against his sister Sima Wan and Hou Xiqiao over the years.

If it wasn't because of his relationship with Sima Hong, Hou Xiqiao should have been the number one scholar that year, how could he have picked up a weapon to kill people, and my sister would not have waited until today and hadn't married yet, and all of this was due to this person back then selfishness.

Sima Hong looked at the disfigured father, he asked people to chop up the corpse into meat and feed it to the dogs, it seemed that only in this way could Sima Hong's grievances be appeased.

He killed the biggest enemy in his heart and successfully won the throne. The first thing he had to do was to recall his good brother Hou Xiqiao and make him a general.

There is also that Bai Tangzhi, Hou Xiqiao thinks highly of him, so give him an official secretary, and his sister Sima Wan likes Hou Xiqiao very much, so she betroths her to Hou Xiqiao as his wife, presumably Hou Xiqiao will not Object, after all his life was saved by his sister.

Sima Hong thought so, and he did so. He hosted a banquet to clean up Houxi Bridge, firstly to reminisce about the past, and secondly, to propose marriage to his sister.

But he didn't expect that Hou Xiqiao not only rejected the marriage, but also abandoned him to become a Taoist priest. In Sima Hong's eyes, this was a betrayal, an unforgivable betrayal.

Sima Hong's chest was full of anger, and his rapid breathing proved that he had lost his rationality.

"Hou Xiqiao, I want you to die!"
