stepson

It has been more than a month since Su Zhaoxue rushed to the capital, and the Spring Festival is approaching.He always felt that Shang Xuanlie would not be killed so easily.When I arrived in the capital, I found out that Shang Xuanlie hijacked Wuliang Celestial Master and left on the day of the execution. I finally felt relieved, and immediately turned around and rushed to the northwest. Shang Xuanlie should have returned to the northwest.

It's already spring in the northwest.After driving for nearly four months, Su Zhaoxue was very mentally exhausted.He rented a house in Yunzhou City where the Bei'an Prince's Mansion was located.After resting well for two days, he began to wander around the Bei'an Prince's Mansion to check out spots.

This afternoon, I saw Shang Xuandong leaving the palace with a large group of guards, and didn't know where he was going.Su Zhaoxue looked at this man's high-spirited and complacent look from a distance, and felt great hatred in his heart.He suppressed his anger and followed.

When people on the street saw the robes worn by the guards beside Shang Xuandong in the sedan chair, they knew they were from the palace, and they immediately made way for them.Shang Xuandong, who was sitting in the sedan chair, was satisfied with the actions of the people in Yunzhou City, and felt that the people here had more eyes than the people in the capital city.Ever since he knew that Shang Xuanlie was not dead, Shang Xuandong brought a group of people around him when he went out, for fear that Shang Xuanlie would appear suddenly to assassinate him.After all, he is now the son of Prince Bei'an.

Shang Xuandong's trip to the outside of the city was to meet the envoy secretly sent by the Tatar king.Originally, King Bei'an planned to exchange a city with Tatar Kingdom for Fan Changkong, Shang Xuanlie's confidant.It was just blocked by the subordinates of Bei'an Palace, saying that this move was undoubtedly treasonous.Shang Zhengxing had no choice but to give up, but Shang Xuandong did not give up at all.As long as Shang Xuanlie lived, he would have trouble sleeping and eating.So they discussed with Shang Zhengxing, if it was obvious that it was not possible, they would come secretly.

The envoys of the Tatar Kingdom turned into a caravan and had already arrived outside Yunzhou City.Shang Xuandong went here to welcome them.Originally, the sedan chair was being carried well, but suddenly a young woman ran out of the crowd and knelt in the middle of the road to stop their sedan chair.

"His Royal Highness, I have something to tell you." The young woman was dressed in a clean dark blue coarse cloth robe, with fair skin and big eyes, she had a good-looking appearance, and her expression was flustered but somewhat delicate.

When Shang Xuandong in the sedan chair heard this, he asked the bearer to stop the sedan chair, he opened the curtain and came out, and saw that it was a beautiful young woman, his voice could not help but softened: "Madam, what can I tell you?"

The young woman looked around, with a look of embarrassment on her face, hesitated for a while and said: "It's about the traitors that the palace is looking for."

"What?" Shang Xuandong was taken aback, and hurried to the young woman's side and asked, "Do you know where Shang Xuanlie is?"

"Well, I know. He was at my mother's house the day before yesterday. If I hadn't returned to my mother's house with my husband, I wouldn't know that my mother's house actually took in a traitor." The young woman said.

"Where is it, take me there quickly, you didn't let him go, did you?" Shang Xuandong said anxiously.

"Of course not." The young woman stood up, as if she had been kneeling for a long time, her legs and feet were numb, when she stood up, she staggered a few steps forward and fell into Shang Xuandong's arms.

Shang Xuandong raised his eyebrows, and when he bent down to help her, he felt a cold and sharp object pressed against his neck.Startled in his heart, he didn't dare to move his body, he calmly said: "Is there anything we can discuss, Madam, what do you mean?"

"Someone paid for your life, what do you think?" The young woman still looked fragile, but her words were extremely cruel, "It's only because you blocked the way of others."

"Who? Shang Xuanlie?" Shang Xuandong couldn't think of anyone else who would kill him besides him.

"It's so unfair for you to say that you, an abandoned son who was expelled from the clan, can still become the son of the world!" The young woman dropped these words, took a knife and slashed across his windpipe fiercely. In his eyes, he pushed him face down, and then cried loudly: "His Royal Highness, how can you be so contemptuous of the slave family, the slave family is a good girl, kindly tell you the whereabouts of the traitor, you are too disappointing the slave family, the slave family no longer alive..."

The young woman covered her face and ran towards the crowd while crying.Shang Xuandong fell to the ground and struggled twice, losing his breath.After a while, the leader of the guards saw that Shizi hadn't gotten up yet, and felt suspicious, so he ran to check immediately.Turning to Shang Xuandong, he found that he was out of breath, and shouted immediately in fright: "Catch that woman, she killed the prince."

A small knife was stabbed across Shang Xuandong's throat, the knife blocked the blood vessel, and the blood flowed out very slowly.When Shang Xuan died, Dong was shocked, obviously not believing that he would die at the hands of a woman.

After Su Zhaoxue, who was in the crowd, saw the woman running away, she felt that something was wrong and immediately chased after her.The woman immediately ran to a nearby house, took off her outer robe, revealing a pink gauze dress, tore off her curly hair, and took off her jewelry. Immediately, she changed from a young woman into an unmarried woman. Miss.

After changing her makeup, she immediately went to another room and said to the people inside: "Madam, the matter has been settled, the son is dead."

"Well done." A delicate female voice came from inside, "You have made great contributions this time, and when my son becomes the heir, you will surely rehabilitate your family and give your family justice."

"Thank you, madam." The woman thanked quickly.

"You weren't followed when you came back, were you?" the people in the room asked.

"I made a few detours before I came back. It's just that the prince was assassinated by me, and the prince will definitely not let it go. He will definitely investigate to the end. If something is found out, what should the madam do?"

"Don't worry, as long as this matter is pushed to Shang Xuanlie, the prince will definitely not pursue it any further. Everyone in Bei'an Palace knows that Shang Xuandong and Shang Xuanlie are at odds. Shang Xuandong assassinated Shang Xuanlie before. Really Yes, obviously Shang Xuandong has been kicked out of the palace, and if he wants to establish a son, my son is the rightful son, so it is Shang Xuandong's turn! It's just that the prince is too partial!" The woman in the room was indignant, obviously very dissatisfied. "This time Shang Xuandong is dead, I want to see who dares to fight with my son!"

Su Zhaoxue, who was hiding on the beam of the house, suddenly realized when he heard it.He thought that Shang Xuandong's death was planned by Shang Xuanlie, but he didn't expect it to be done by a woman in the backyard of the palace.Now Shang Zhengxing has three side concubines, apart from Shang Xuandong's mother Qin side concubine, Ming side concubine and Li side concubine, they all have sons, but it is not known which side concubine did it.

After learning about this, Su Zhaoxue didn't listen to anything else, and quietly sneaked out of the mansion.At this time, the streets were under martial law, and officers and soldiers searched everywhere.He took a few steps to step on the wall and climbed up to the roof.Looking up, he actually saw a familiar figure standing on the roof not far away, observing the street below.

Shang Xuanlie!Su Zhaoxue recognized that person at a glance, and he was full of surprise.He thought he would have to search for a long time to find Shang Xuanlie who was hiding, but he didn't expect him to leave Yunzhou City!Su Zhaoxue raised her hand and was about to shout, but felt something was wrong, so she quickly put down her hand and ran towards him.

Sensing someone approaching, Shang Xuanlie looked up and saw a thin and pale scholar running towards him.Although the face was unfamiliar, Shang Xuanlie still recognized the person who came, it was Su Zhaoxue!The mood that had been gloomy for a long time suddenly brightened, and he also ran towards the other party.

The two met on a roof, staring at each other for a long time, without speaking, the two separated for nearly half a year, fate is too unpredictable, too many things happened.

"Are you okay?" Su Zhaoxue spoke first.After the words were spoken, he felt that something was wrong. How could he get better after losing his position of power?Immediately changed his words: "Shang Xuandong is dead, did you see it?"

"Well, I saw it." Shang Xuanlie couldn't help smiling, he took Su Zhaoxue's hand and said, "Don't worry, I'm fine. The position of Prince Bei'an's son is not important to me anymore. You When did you come to the Northwest? I once sent you a letter, but you never replied. I was very worried, afraid that something might happen to you, and when I wanted to find you, I was framed by Sima Lingyun and thrown into the prison."

"The letter? Where did you get the letter? I didn't receive it." Su Zhaoxue fell silent while talking. Su Zimo must have put away the letter and didn't give it to him. "Forget it, let's not talk about it, what are you going to do in the future?"

"I don't have any power and status, so brother Zhaoxue thinks highly of me?" Shang Xuanlie sighed, his face full of loneliness.The originally high-spirited person has become carefree and confused.

"It doesn't matter to you what I look down on. What matters is how you look at yourself. Besides, I am not much better than you now. Don't forget that we are both fallen people in the world, and I still carry the disaster on my back." What about the stigma of being a monster. Speaking of which, brother, will you also look down on me? Status and power, if you lose it, you can get it back. I don’t believe that with my brother’s talent, he can’t regain the position of the prince of Bei’an. "

Hearing what he said, Shang Xuanlie smiled: "Hearing what my brother said, my brother is ashamed to be so ashamed that I can't see through it without you. Thank you brother for keeping our agreement and coming to the northwest to find me. This time, I will not leave again. Bar?"

"Of course, as long as you don't drive me away. I will always stay by my brother's side." Su Zhaoxue said with a blushing face.

Seeing him like this, Shang Xuanlie was full of confidence in his heart, it seemed that with Su Zhaoxue's encouragement, everything he had experienced was not important anymore.When he was in prison, apart from not being able to figure out why his mother, Concubine Zhang, was so cruel, what he thought of most was Su Zhaoxue.Wondering if he would come to save him, when he learned that he was framed by Sima Lingyun, he was full of his safety.Now that I can meet him in Yunzhou City, I have nothing, and he still values ​​me so much, it's great!God did not treat him lightly.

"By the way, I followed the woman who killed Shang Xuandong to a private house just now, and found that Shang Xuandong's death was planned by a side concubine in your father's backyard. I know who it is." Su Zhaoxue said.

"Whoever he is! A dog bites a dog's hair." Shang Xuanlie sneered, "Now that Shang Xuandong is dead, I want to see which brother of mine will die next time."

It seemed that Shang Xuanlie really hated King Bei'an. With Shang Zhengxing's weak temper, he might not be able to suppress his backyard, and his son might die a little bit more.However, Shang Xuanlie will only have a chance to return to the Bei'an Palace if the Bei'an Palace is in chaos.
