"At the gate of the palace that day, you just heard that I was going out of the palace and asked me if I wanted to eat candied haws again. I don't know Qi Yunshuo well, and I heard that he is withdrawn and alienated from others. It is very likely that you will talk to me in such a familiar tone, anyway, the two of you had completely opposite personalities that day."

"On that basis?"

"I have investigated him. Although there is no solid evidence, I guess that the Liu Xianzhu is in his hands. The relationship between the two of you suddenly improved, and your personality changed drastically. I am just making an assumption."

"Then you also arranged the previous assassination?"

Zhuo Yiyang shook his head, "I only arranged for Xiuguo."

"No, if you only guessed that I would switch identities with him that day, how could you arrange the battle of repairing the country in advance?"

"Now I'm not afraid to tell you the truth. Xiuguo was originally trying to lure him away and attack you. Unexpectedly, the two of you went out together because of the exchange of identities. "

Zhuo Ling saw Zhuo Yiyang talking about his murder so lightly, and for a moment felt that the family affection in the palace was really weak.

Originally, the two brothers were quite familiar with each other, but now it feels like they are facing a stranger. I have never realized that he is pretending to be stupid for so many years. He is really stupid.

After Zhuo Ling left, Zhuo Yiyang reached out to pick up the paper bag. After opening it, he found two bunches of candied haws inside. His eyes were blank for a while.

"If we weren't born in the emperor's family, maybe we would become very good brothers, sorry..."

This incident was like an episode, Zhuo Ling never went to see Zhuo Yiyang again after that, as if he forgot about this person, because he knew in his heart that even seeing him again would be meaningless.

In mid-September, Zhuo Ling returned to the imperial city with his army. This time he won a complete victory, which changed his status among the people and the court, and the emperor seemed quite relieved.

The queen pulled him to ask him about his health, feeling that her son had finally grown up, and worried about whether he had endured hardships or hardships. Zhuo Ling originally wanted to ask about Zhuo Yiyang's mother and concubine, but so what if he asked.

Ever since he exchanged identities with Qi Yunshuo, he has been living in the General's Mansion, and now that he returns to his bedroom, he feels a strange feeling.

Qi Yunshuo...

This time he brought the troops back. Qi Yunshuo said that he still had something to deal with and he hasn't come back until now. He didn't know what it was for. Seeing that he didn't come back, some people in the court have already started fabricating rumors about taking credit for his pride and being arrogant. .

"I'm worried about what to do. He doesn't need me to worry."

Zhuo Ling contemptuously despised himself, he said so ruthlessly, yet he was still worried about him, really worthless.

Now that the body has changed back, and the battle with Xiuguo has been won, everything will return to its original state. Let's regard the previous events as a dream. After waking up from the dream, you should continue with your life.

Even though he comforted himself so much, Zhuo Ling still had a nightmare all night and didn't sleep well at all, so that he was drowsy and didn't have any energy when he went to court the next morning. Fortunately, the emperor thought that he was too tired from the recent expedition No, I didn't blame him either.

In order not to let himself think wildly, Zhuo Ling tried his best to spend all his thoughts on learning how to govern the country. He had been muddled for 18 years, and now it's time to make up for it.

"Your Highness, the eldest prince's sentence has come down."

Zhuo Ling, who was sitting in the yard reading a book, raised his head quickly when he heard the words. It has been almost half a month since he came back, and the treatment of Zhuo Yiyang has not been settled yet, and everyone is waiting for this.

"How to say?"

"Abolish the identity of the prince and guard the imperial tomb forever."

Zhuo Ling secretly heaved a sigh of relief, the emperor announced him to see him before and asked him what he meant, Zhuo Yiyang's actions really chilled Zhuo Ling, but after all, he is not the only one who can't help himself in the cycle of cause and effect.

It's not enough to be beheaded, at least he's still alive.

"Also, Miss Yao, please see me."

Yao Qixue?Why is she here?Speaking of which, I almost forgot about Yao Qixue's existence. To be honest, I don't really want to see her, but I have to make it clear.

"Bring her in."

"Yes……"

Not long after the little eunuch left, he led Yao Qixue in. Zhuo Ling would have gone to meet her before, but now he has no such intentions.

"Qixue has met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"Excuse me, what's the matter?"

Yao Qixue saw that Zhuo Ling was still indifferent, and for a while she couldn't figure out what he meant.

"It's been more than half a month since His Highness returned from the expedition. Qixue must be very tired from the expedition, so she didn't come to disturb His Highness a few days ago. Was it very hard to go to the expedition?"

"Of course, but it's all worth it."

In the past when the two of them stood together, it was Zhuo Ling who was looking for something to talk about, but now that Zhuo Ling looked like this, Yao Qixue didn't know what to say, but there was a task ahead of her, so she had to bite the bullet and keep it.

"Your Highness went out with General Qi, why didn't they come back together? But what happened?"

A flash of clarity flashed in Zhuo Ling's eyes. Before that, he was thinking about what Yao Qixue was doing at this time, but now it seems that he was looking for something between him and Qi Yunshuo.

Seeing that he didn't come back with Qi Yunshuo, Zhuo Junhong and Yao Hui must have suspected whether the two of them had a quarrel or had ulterior motives, so they sent Yao Qixue over to investigate the situation.

Zhuo Ling would never have thought of this level if it was the past, but now it really looks so obvious, no wonder everyone says he is stupid.

Yao Qixue felt that her thoughts were being seen through, and she felt a little uneasy. Seeing that Zhuo Ling remained silent, she couldn't help but said: "It's Qixue who is talking too much, but just before entering the palace, I just heard everyone saying that General Qi just came back today. so……"

Zhuo Ling was startled, Qi Yunshuo is back?

"Your Highness? What's wrong with you, Your Highness?"

"Ah?" Zhuo Ling came back to his senses, and responded: "It's okay, maybe it's just like you said that you are too tired from the expedition, so it's been half a month and I still haven't recovered."

Yao Qixue saw that Zhuo Ling had nothing to say here, and felt that there would be nothing to gain if she continued to stay, so she left. After she left, Zhuo Ling sat on the soft bed and thought about Qi Yunshuo's return.

Came back today?I didn't see it during the morning court, so it should have arrived after the morning court.

"Little Liu..."

"What are your orders, Your Highness?"

"Go and find out when General Qi entered the palace to face the saint today."

"Yes……"

The eunuchs in the East Palace had seen that their crown prince and General Qi got along well before, so he was not surprised that the crown prince asked him to inquire about General Qi.

Zhuo Ling continued to read the book, but couldn't read a single word. After a while, Xiao Liuzi came back to report: "Your Highness, General Qi did not enter the palace today."

"What? Are you sure?"

"The slaves have found out clearly, they really didn't enter the palace."

Qi Yunshuo returned to the imperial city half a month later than the army to return to the imperial city, and when he arrived in the imperial city, he still hadn't entered the palace in time to face the saint. Isn't this too exaggerated?Those old guys who looked at them in the middle and looked down on them had more opportunities to catch them.

"Understood, you go down first."

"Yes……"

Zhuo Ling couldn't sit still anymore, so he got up and changed his clothes and went out to the palace. Originally, he wanted to go directly to the General's Mansion to have a look, but when the carriage stopped at the gate of the General's Mansion, he hesitated again.

Qi Yunshuo said that at the time, and now that he came back, he didn't go to him to explain it clearly or apologize, isn't it a joke for him to send it to his door now...

"Your Highness?"

"You go back first, the prince will walk around by himself."

Zhuo Ling got out of the carriage and sent the driver away, then looked up at the General's Mansion, and finally walked back.

Although he didn't think Qi Yunshuo's care and concern for him some time ago were fake, but the conversation in the cave really made him care.

Liu Xianzhu was in Qi Yunshuo's hands from the beginning to the end. The sudden exchange of bodies between the two was also arranged by Qi Yunshuo. He said it was for the crown prince, but if it was really because of this, there was no need to say it at the time. Ah, obviously you can continue to hide it.

"Uh..."

Because Zhuo Ling was thinking about things and didn't pay much attention, he accidentally bumped into the person who came out from the side just now while walking, and the things in the opponent's hand were knocked to the ground.

"Feel sorry……"

Zhuo Ling quickly squatted down to pick up the paper bag, it smelled like medicine, he stood up and handed the thing to the person in front of him, he was stunned for a moment after seeing the appearance clearly.

"Xiaoxue?"

When he lived in the general's mansion before, Xiaoxue was responsible for his washing, and he was scared several times at the beginning.

But after getting along with her, I found that she is a very kind and lovely girl, so I naturally accepted her appearance, and now it looks more and more pleasing to the eye.

"His Royal Highness..."

Seeing that she was shocked and wanted to salute, Zhuo Ling realized that he had changed his identity now, and quickly stopped her and said, "There is no need to be too polite outside."

After speaking, he looked up at the nearby shop and asked, "Are you feeling sick when you come to the pharmacy to get medicine?"

His Royal Highness actually asked her if she was unwell, which made Xiaoxue a little flattered, she quickly shook her head and said: "Return to Your Highness, it's not that the slaves are sick, these medicines are taken for our general."

"Your general? Qi Yunshuo...was he sick right after he came back?"

The expression on Xiaoxue's face changed from shock to sadness, and she replied: "General, he is not sick, but seriously injured. Even the doctor said that it is a miracle that he can recover his life."

Zhuo Ling's eyes widened instantly, "What did you say? Qi Yunshuo was injured? When did it happen?"

"The slaves don't know either. The general was like this when he was sent back. He was unconscious most of the time. Uncle Yang invited many doctors to see him."

"How could he..."

Zhuo Ling had never seen Qi Yunshuo since they parted that night. Qi Yunshuo changed his identity and resumed his martial arts. Who could hurt him so badly?
