How dare the cannon fodder be arrogant

Being blown by the cold wind of Dongyue outside, Xiao Lingfeng woke up a lot.The tiredness between his eyebrows was swept away, he wiped his face, rode on the dark clouds and covered the snow and went straight to the palace.

Chaoyuan Hall...

Huo Qing stood guard outside the hall with his usual serious expression on his face.However, the pair of hands holding the waist knife that were bluish white due to too much force showed that he was not at peace.

Veins protruded from the back of his hand, thinking of the clues he had found, and the conversation between the Taifu and the noble concubine, Huo Qing was overwhelmed, wishing he could rush in immediately and chop the sanctimonious Taifu on the spot.

But the restraint he cultivated since he was a child has been deeply rooted in his bones. He stood sideways and stared at the palace door expressionlessly. Even though he was already furious in his heart, he still firmly remembered not to act rashly and startle the snake.

It is important to stay here first to protect His Majesty's safety.

Suddenly, a sound of heavy and powerful footsteps came, waking up his tense nerves.

Huo Qing turned his head and finally heaved a sigh of relief unconsciously when he saw Xiao Lingfeng coming in a hurry.

At this moment, only Xiao Lingfeng, the God of War prince, can hold the situation, and only when he sees his senior brother, can Huo Qing feel relieved.

"My lord." A look of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he immediately greeted him.

Xiao Lingfeng stopped in his tracks, and glanced at the closed palace door: "The emperor is awake? Who's inside?"

Huo Qing: "The emperor is awake, the Taifu is inside right now."

He glanced at Xiao Lingfeng, and added: "Earlier, the imperial concubine came to deliver the soup, and then the emperor ordered her to go back to the palace and restrain her feet."

"Is the imperial concubine sending soup?"

Why is she here to join in the fun?Xiao Lingfeng frowned and looked at Huo Qing, isn't the news of the emperor's illness not blocked?

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind.

"Did the imperial concubine often come to deliver soup?"

Hearing the question, Huo Qing cheered up. This is exactly what he wanted to find a chance to tell Xiao Lingfeng.

"Reporting to the prince, the noble concubine will send soup to the emperor every two or three days, but..."

In the middle of speaking, Huo Qing suddenly stopped his voice and looked around vigilantly, then secretly gestured towards Xiao Lingfeng.

Thinking of what the Taifu said to the noble concubine, he can't completely trust these guards under him now.Now that there is a large crowd and the walls have ears, it is not a good time for him to report back.

Seeing his gestures clearly, Xiao Lingfeng also knew it in his heart.

Addiction drugs, if taken regularly every other day, will slowly deplete the body, but it is difficult to detect.But if you stop suddenly, the drug addiction will be violent and the reaction will be great.

Therefore, Huo Qing didn't need to elaborate, he immediately knew who the person who prescribed the medicine was.

However, just a noble concubine, a noble concubine without heirs, who would have the guts to drug Xiao Jue, and what was the motive for drugging?

Or, who is standing behind her?

Thinking of this, he winked at Huo Qing.Huo Qing immediately stepped forward and was about to knock on the door, but the door opened by itself.

As soon as Eunuch Zhao opened the door, he was blocked by two tall figures, and backed away in surprise.

After standing still, he looked up, only to find that outside the door were King Jingbei Xiao Lingfeng and Chief Guard Huo Qing.

Eunuch Zhao immediately saluted the two of them, and then said in a low voice: "Your Majesty happens to be awake, and this servant will go in and report."

But Xiao Lingfeng stopped him with a look: "Not busy."

Looking at King Jingbei's oppressive gaze, Eunuch Zhao immediately understood, bowed his body, faced Xiao Lingfeng's gaze, and reminded him in a very soft voice: "The Taifu is talking with His Majesty inside, and he is talking about the prince. Woolen cloth."

He buried his head lower: "My lord, be careful."

This is an almost explicit reminder.

Xiao Lingfeng raised his eyes and glanced at the inner hall, and then, without waiting for Eunuch Zhao to report, he stepped across the threshold again and walked calmly into the inner hall.

"Your Majesty, the outside of the Chaoyuan Hall is surrounded by King Jingbei's orders."

Just two steps away, the Taifu's slightly old voice came from the inner hall, Xiao Lingfeng raised his eyebrows, and stopped behind the screen.

Grand Tutor: "Your Majesty still doesn't understand after this incident? King Jingbei's hand has already reached into the Forbidden Palace. His influence in the palace is so deep that even you can't even imagine it."

Behind the screen, Xiao Lingfeng crossed his arms and suddenly became interested in Xiao Jue's answer.

After a while, Xiao Jue's sleepy voice sounded: "Teacher, don't say any more, if brother Huang really wants to put me under house arrest, do you think you can still come in?"

The Taifu sighed a long time, and said with a bit of resentment: "Your Majesty, King Jingbei's wolfish ambitions are clearly revealed, why don't you make a decision yet?"

Xiao Jue glanced at him: "Teacher, there is something I don't understand, and I ask the Tutor to clarify it for me."

It was obviously a light look, but it seemed to be extremely heavy when it fell on the Tai Tuo.

This look made the expression on Taifu's face change slightly, and when he tried to distinguish this meaningful look carefully, Xiao Jue had already withdrawn his gaze.

Secretly saying that he was too suspicious, the Taifu cleared his throat: "Please speak, Your Majesty."

Xiao Jue was silent for a moment: "Teacher, why did you have a rift with Brother Huang? Why do you have so much dissatisfaction with Brother Huang?"

The Tai Tuo paused his beard-stroking hand, and after sighing, he said: "The old minister and King Jingbei have a personal grievance, and everything is just for His Majesty's sake. Your Majesty, people's hearts are unpredictable and we have to guard against it."

Xiao Jue said slowly: "A sage and a gentleman don't care about their minds when they talk about deeds. If you want to talk about your mind, there is no perfect person in this world."

The Taifu's voice suddenly increased: "Your Majesty! If you really wait until the day of the discussion, your country will be handed over!"

After finishing speaking, seeing Xiao Jue's expression that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, the Taifu finally realized that something was wrong.

When talking about these things with Xiao Jue earlier, he could clearly feel Xiao Jue's struggle and hesitation, which made him almost think that his persuasion and provocation would be successful.

But looking at Xiao Jue's expression at the moment, he suddenly felt that he seemed to be wrong.

Sure enough, Xiao Jue said, "Teacher."

The half-smiling face was put away, and the little emperor Xiao Jue's eyes were sharp. Even though he was sick and weak and haggard in bed, he still showed the majesty of the emperor: "Teacher just wants to instigate me to kill my brother regardless of brotherhood with just one mouth!" ?”

His gaze was firmly locked on the old stiff face of the Taifu: "If Brother Huang really coveted this seat as you said, he would have had countless opportunities to do it long ago."

The Grand Tutor opened his mouth, but Xiao Jue blocked the unspoken lengthy slander.

"Don't say that the timing is not up to the name, it's not right. My brother has never been afraid of the eyes of the world. If he wants to kill me, no one can stop him. If he doesn't do it, it's because he never No such idea!"

After finishing speaking, Xiao Jue was a little exhausted.With his red neck, he panted heavily, and a layer of cold sweat unknowingly broke out on his forehead.

The hall fell silent.

Behind the screen, Xiao Lingfeng's face remained motionless, but the emotions in his eyes had already begun to surge.

He didn't expect Xiao Jue to say such a thing, but he also had to admit that no matter whether Xiao Jue was sincere or not, at least at this moment, he was willing to recognize Xiao Jue as his younger brother.

What's more, Xiao Jue still vividly remembers the way Xiao Jue grabbed him and called for help when his drug addiction broke out, and the instinctive dependence when he was dying can't be faked.

Thinking of this, he glanced at Eunuch Zhao who had quietly followed after giving his orders, and lifted his chin to the direction behind the screen.

Eunuch Zhao nodded repeatedly, then cleared his throat, and reported from behind the screen: "My Majesty, King Jingbei is begging to see you."

This sound broke the silence in the room.

The Taifu, who had been silenced by Xiao Jue's words earlier, raised his head when he heard the sound, surprise flashed across his face, and he suddenly felt restless.

Xiao Jue glanced at the Grand Tutor, and said in a calm voice, "Brother Huang, please come in."
