After the cannon fodder prince collapsed, the country will not perish

When these words fell to the ground, the attitudes of the soldiers on the city wall were immediately lifted.

Immediately from passive sabotage to common hatred.

Even some people didn't dare to look at Xiao Di, and there was a bit of guilt in their eyes.

The soldiers outside the palace also sensed the determination of the palace guards, and changed from the previous mild offensive to a more intensive attack.

The flying arrows landed densely on the towers in the palace, and people kept falling to the ground in response.

Others have already set up ladders and struggled to climb up in the shadow of swords and swords.

Xiao Di had already stood guard on the tower with his sword, the light of the sword flickered, and several people who were about to climb the tower fell down.

His posture of swinging the sword was indifferent and powerful, and the fallen corpses did not delay his speed of drawing the sword at all.

Xie Qingci looked at Xiao Di's stern profile, and had to say that with Xiao Di in the palace, he felt more at ease.

"It's dangerous here, you go down first."

Xiao Di swung his sword backhand, beheading one person to the ground.

Xie Qingci subconsciously wanted to object, but before he could speak, Xiao Di said again: "There are a lot of soldiers and horses outside, protect the prince first!"

Xie Qingci immediately realized that he couldn't help here, and there was a possibility of losing his defense here. The most important thing to do at this time was undoubtedly to move the prince to a safer place.

He didn't have time to delay, and ran to the East Palace at high speed.

This was Xiao Di's first visit to the East Palace after he entered Miyagi.

When Xie Huayan saw Xie Qingci, his expression changed immediately: "Qingci, are you not injured?"

He had heard the sound of beatings and killings outside, but the remaining guards and attendants around him knelt on the ground, begging him to put the country first and not to step out easily.

During the stalemate, Xie Qing resigned.

When Xie Qingci saw his brother's appearance, his heart was full of sourness: "Brother, I'm sorry..."

He is obviously a person who has been reborn once, and he has predicted many things to happen, and avoided a lot of bad luck, but after all, he doesn't know who is behind the scenes, so that the prime minister still took advantage of the loopholes, and he tried so hard to fix it. The fate of the previous life of the family, but the fate is still unpredictable.

Xie Qingci thought, if he was smarter, wouldn't his brother not have the fate he has today.

Xie Huayan didn't understand why his younger brother apologized, but his expression darkened instantly: "I'm useless, I only stared at foreign enemies, but I never thought that the court had already been controlled by traitors..."

Xie Huayan paused for a moment, then glanced up and down Xie Qingci with heavy eyes: "Xiao Di didn't make things difficult for you, did he?"

Xie Qingci, who was speechless for a while, paused: "It's not too difficult..."

Xie Huayan breathed a sigh of relief immediately, and Xie Qingci was surprised by what he said: "I knew he would treat you well."

Xie Qingci: "???"

Seeing his younger brother's bewildered and shocked face, Xie Huayan said: "Do you think that Xiao Di entered the palace in the middle of the night in an attempt to gain power?"

"Actually, there is something else hidden in this matter, and you should be able to think of it." Xie Huayan's face was extremely serious: "Liu Hui, who once taught in your Taixue, is the prime minister's personal, and they have long colluded with the King of Chu to overthrow the court. "

"They still secretly wooed Xiao Di, but they kept making insinuations. Xiao Di didn't want to make you worry, and they didn't make any real moves, so Xiao Di has been mediating between them..."

Xie Qingci frowned. He had long suspected that the Prime Minister had something in the dark, but there was no definite evidence. It was a pity that Xiao Di did not communicate with him. If the two of them had communicated with each other earlier, they must have...

Xie Huayan continued: "Xiao Di entered the palace that night, and raised troops just as a show. The prime minister's influence outside the court is deeply rooted. He also wanted to make the prime minister's people relax their vigilance."

"Xiao Di notified the soldiers in Gansu a long time ago, and also exchanged news with generals in other places on behalf of my palace."

Xie Huayan looked at Xie Qingci: "It's also thanks to Xiao Di this time, you have the opportunity, and you have to thank him for me."

"Did you doubt him before? Qingci, how could the person who protected you with his life want to harm you?"

"You... don't make people feel cold."

Xie Qingci's ears turned red, and he looked away uncomfortably, but there was a sour sweetness in his heart.

No matter how you listen to this sentence, it is very similar to an elder saying to his daughter that I have nothing to repay him, so you should promise him with your body!

Seeing Xiao Di's true feelings for him, the prince's heart softened.

He also knew before that Xiao Di would definitely not seek rebellion.

It's just that he didn't know that Xiao Di had already done so many silently before he knew it.

The sound of soldiers outside the palace gradually faded away, as if they were attracted by something, and they stopped attacking the palace.

Xie Qingci hurriedly went out to ask each other, and a general greeted him with joy: "It's the Second Highness and Mr. Xu, they brought a team of government soldiers and attacked from behind. This can delay for a while. Miyagi is temporarily safe It's..."

Those who attacked Miyagi were trained elites, could Second Brother and Xu Huizhou stop them?

Xie Qingci was a little anxious all of a sudden: "Where are they at this time? If they are against the elite..."

Before the words fell, a deep voice sounded behind him: "Your Highness."

Xie Qing resigned and turned his head, Xiao Di's robe was stained with blood, he saw that he had gone through a fierce battle, his heart tightened, and he hurriedly stepped forward: "Aren't you injured?"

Xiao Di stared at him closely: "Since these people said they were coming after me, they probably wouldn't hurt Mr. Xu."

"Your Highness, there is no need to worry anymore."

Xie Qingci was helpless: "...When is that, someone is still jealous."

Xiao Di said seriously: "It's not meaningless."

He lowered his voice and said, "I read your letter to Xu Huizhou before."

Xie Qingci: "?"

"There is a saying in the letter that he is a man who shares the bridle."

As Xiao Di spoke, his eyes were stained with displeasure again: "He is said to be a man with a bridle, but he is said to be a pony."

"His Royal Highness, the division is really clear!"

As Xiao Di was talking, his voice became lukewarm again: "It seems that this is for me to..."

Before the words could be spoken, they were already gagged.

Xie Qingci stood on tiptoe and pressed his lips against his.

Touching this softness, Xiao Di immediately froze in place, unable to utter a word in a cute manner.

Xie Qingci looked at Xiao Di's dazed look, and slightly raised the corners of his lips.

When I wanted to discipline him before, I always thought of other wrong ways.

Now it seems that the effect of kissing and hugging is surprisingly good.

Xie Qingci said seriously: "How long are you going to be jealous?"

"My heart, don't you understand?"

Xiao Di: "I should know very well..."

He has never heard what Xie Qingci said, how could he understand.

Xie Qingci sighed, but opened his mouth to say something else: "Xiao Di, why are you..."

He suddenly couldn't ask.

All of these have already been answered, and it seems that there has never been an answer.

He paused, but still asked: "Why did you force the palace?"

Xiao Di moved his eyes away: "Didn't your Highness already say that this is me mediating with the Prime Minister to delay the time."

Xie Qing resigned: "There are many ways to procrastinate, why do you take the most irreversible one?"

In any case, from now on, the imprint of forcing the palace will be firmly imprinted on Xiao Di.

Regardless of whether the prince pursues it or not, this is not a trivial matter that can be laughed off.

Xie Qingci raised his eyes and watched Xiao Di quietly, as if waiting for an answer.

The general who was still like a rakshasa in the city tower just now looked away unnaturally, obviously not ready to answer.

Xie Qingci raised his eyebrows and said: "If you don't tell the truth, even if you calm down the chaos of this war, I will still be very angry!"

Xiao Di was startled, showing a little helplessness.

Now the truth has come to light, he can no longer be disrespectful to Xie Qingci like before, and he doesn't know how to coax Xie Qingci in his own capacity.

He had no choice but to stand still and say, "You..."

Xiao Di paused, and said softly: "The moment I saw the suicide note, I felt a little uncomfortable, but I figured it out in a flash..."

"That's just the former Highness, it doesn't mean that the current Highness also wants to put Adi to death."

Xiao Di's voice was muffled.

In fact, he cared more or less, but he had already reconciled with himself night after night.

Xiao Di was silent for a moment, then summoned up his courage and said again: "Qingci, I can tell that you are afraid of many things."

"You're afraid of the dark, you're afraid of missing the delivery date, you're afraid of losing the battle, and... you're afraid of me..."

"You are afraid of the dark, I can make the lights stay on by your pillow..."

"You are afraid of missing the delivery date, afraid of losing the battle, I will stand behind you, and I will also be in the army, rushing to the forefront..."

Xiao Di's voice sounded sincere and light: "But you are afraid of me, I don't know how to... remove your guard..."

He knew that Xie Qingci looked into his eyes with a faint fear.

But he didn't even know where this inexplicable fear came from.

So I don't know how to resolve it.

"I broke into the palace because I want you to see it with your own eyes. If one day, I can really fight you with my own strength, let you see how I will choose."

Xiao Di said softly: "I will still choose you, Your Highness, the same as when I had nothing back then..."

He paused, and finally said a few words that lingered in his heart: "Brother, don't be afraid of me..."

Xie Qingci did not speak for a long time.

Only now did he know why Xiao Di broke into the palace.

He just wants to control the power, and then deliver everything in front of his own face.

If a person can choose to be loyal to the Xie family under such circumstances, then he naturally doesn't have to have any worries.

He knew his worry, so he reproduced the scene he was worried about, and then told him that the result of his worry would never happen to him.

It was early spring at this time, and the petals in front of the hall were soft, and they fell on Xiao Di's armor one after another.

Xie Qingci blinked, suddenly feeling sad.

Xiao Di faded away all the layers of self-protection, all he wanted was to embrace himself honestly.

He gave everything to be close to him.

Xie Qingci suddenly looked at him: "Are you... not afraid?"

"You are not afraid. After handing over the right to send troops, the prince will be afraid that you will kill you?"

He was afraid of many things, but only today he realized that he never knew what Xiao Di was afraid of.

"Isn't there a brother here?" Xiao Di showed his face and said, "Adi's protection for my brother is what I wish for."

It doesn't matter if Xie Qingci doesn't believe him.

Then let him deliver more and rely more on Xie Qingci.

If he can let his brother protect him for the rest of his life, he will not suffer.
