The undercover agent sent by the imperial court

Ling Xuan, who sent Shao Ziqian and Ouyang out together, sent them away with a smile, and turned his head to let the guards watch them.

"Did you call us here specifically for this?" Chu Ziyan looked at the two people who left with a calm expression. Although he had some doubts about the situation of Ouyang and Shao Ziqian, since it was Ling Xuan's decision, Chu Ziyan There is no plan to stop it.

"Not all, but about the same." Ling Xuan lowered his eyes, "There is another thing, but I have to say it in a different place."

Chu Ziyan turned his head to look at Ling Xuan in doubt, the other party turned his head to look around, and then took Chu Ziyan and Chu Yuan to the dark room of the palace. Although he seldom came here, Ling Xuan was familiar with the movements of going to the dark room Familiar with the road, take out the luminous pearl to illuminate the dark room, which is a shelf full of books.

"It's been a long time since I came here." Ling Xuan said with emotion, "The last time I came was when I was a child."

Chu Ziyan could only rely on himself, took a handkerchief and wiped a chair and sat down. Ling Xuan beside him had Chu Yuan wipe a chair for him and sat down, "So, what are you going to do?"

Ling Xuan didn't sit down, but took out a book from the shelf beside him, "Have you read this book?"

Chu Ziyan looked at the black cover, "Isn't this the forbidden book that you can't even touch?"

Ling Xuan casually opened the book and nodded, "Yes, I took a lot of effort to steal it, and then I kept throwing it in it without opening it because of the palace change."

Even Chu Yuan was a little ashamed, "My lord, this is too dangerous."

"No one will let me see it." Ling Xuan shrugged, "This is too strange, even the emperor and the father firmly stop me, but the mother does not say a word."

"If I want to say something, my father is determined not to let me touch it." Chu Ziyan spread his hands, "After all, it is the old man's words, so it is better to listen to them."

Ling Xuan rolled his eyes, Chu Ziyan always did his own thing, but if his father insisted, he would still be surprisingly obedient, "It seems that you don't know what it is."

As he spoke, his eyes shifted to Chu Yuan. After thinking for a while, Chu Yuan shook his head, "I have heard of it more or less, but I don't know the specifics. I just said it has something to do with the royal family."

"I took a look at it at the beginning." Ling Xuan sat down and opened the book, "The protection is quite complicated."

The blank page made Chu Ziyan, who was slightly looking forward, frowned, "You just show me this if you lose my appetite?"

"Hahaha." Ling Xuan rubbed his head with a smile, "Can you smell it? It's the smell of Qiqi. Because it's very poisonous, I'm trying to find a way to make an antidote. I want to make this under my brother's nose." It's been a tough job, and the secret guard who was sent out to find the book hasn't come back yet."

Chu Ziyan made up his mind and resisted beating Ling Xuan, "You'd better have prepared the antidote."

"Okay." Ling Xuan pointed to the corner, "It's been more than four years, so it must be fine."

Chu Yuan stood up again and went to the corner to fetch the jar Ling Xuan wanted. Ling Xuan calmly took out the handkerchief, "This is it, open it."

Chu Yuan frowned when he opened the jar, Chu Ziyan stood up and watched Ling Xuan cover his nose with a handkerchief and wanted to hit someone, "Yes, just take out the stones inside."

Chu Yuan endured the discomfort and reached into the jar, Chu Ziyan's eyes widened, "Hey, do you really listen to him?"

Speaking of which, Chu Yuan had already taken out a piece of wood and closed the jar. Strangely, the smell disappeared as soon as the jar was closed, leaving only a faint fragrance. Ling Xuan took off the handkerchief in peace of mind, "Because the antidote is difficult to preserve. You can only work so hard.”

"It's not a matter of hard work!" Chu Ziyan stepped forward and grabbed Ling Xuan's collar, "You just want to punish me!"

"It was discovered." Ling Xuan laughed twice, "After all, it's very difficult to come back once. If you don't do something, you will be a little bit unwilling."

"But what exactly is this book?" Chu Yuan raised the book and asked, "It's very strange. It was said to be a banned book just now. What is it for?"

Speaking of this matter, Ling Xuan also had a serious face, "This matter has been talked about since a long time ago, and it is a big secret about the royal family."

Chu Ziyan let go of Ling Xuan and waved his hands, "Don't listen to his nonsense, it's just a book that we don't want to read for some reason."

"The most exaggerated thing is that every time I put it in the imperial study room for me to see." Ling Xuan said with a heartbroken face, "But after I got it, I didn't really want to know that much. I wanted to leave the capital for so long before that. When I was doing something, I suddenly thought of it, so I called you to come and have a look.”

Speaking of this, Ling Xuan stood up and took the wooden block from Chu Yuan's hand, "Of course, it's okay if someone who listens to my father doesn't want to see it."

Chu Ziyan patted his gray sleeves, "Don't be a fool, hurry up."

Ling Xuan shrugged, opened the book and slid over it evenly with a wooden block. A line of words appeared in front of the three of them. The beginning of the book was the words governing the country. Ling Xuan turned a page and then slid across the paper. The appearance is what happened when talking about the founding of the country. Ling Xuan has heard these things many times, so he just turned to the next page.

After half of the pages, Chu Yuan suddenly stretched out his hand to hold Ling Xuan and continued to flip, "Wait, what is said here is different."

"Where is it?" Ling Xuan cheered up and asked.

"It's the general." Chu Ziyan said suddenly, "Didn't the general who followed the emperor build a tombstone?"

"Yes, General Temple." Ling Xuan thought for a while and said, "So he didn't die back then."

It is written that the general will return to the mountains and forests and not care about world affairs, but what is the meaning of this, "Even if he is not dead, it is probably just the master who made great achievements at the time, so he arranged it like this."

"The general's original name is Chen Ling." Ling Xuan looked at the new page and said, "It sounds familiar."

"It's a bit." Chu Ziyan agreed.

Chu Yuan frowned, "The founding emperor of Chu also had an elder brother named Chu Ling, who is said to be one of the ministers who founded Chu."

Ling Xuan shook his hand, "It can't be such a coincidence."

Chu Ziyan also frowned, Ling Xuan turned a page down and slid over, and after Chen Ling helped his younger brother establish the Chu Kingdom, Ling Xuan frowned, "This is too foolish."

But even so, this book is not forbidding us to read, right? Ling Xuan turned his hands back, so why on earth is it not allowed for us to read, but it is placed in the imperial study.

Chu Guo, Chu, Ling Xuan paused and said, "It doesn't seem to be interesting, forget it." He closed the book as he said, "You will be discovered if you stay for so long, let's go back, Chu Yuan, please take your things away." Put it back."

Chu Yuan took the wooden block without thinking and was about to put it back, but Chu Ziyan said, "Xuan."

"Why, what's the matter?" Ling Xuan trembled.

"I've seen it all, let's finish it." Chu Ziyan said calmly, "Since it's already against my father's wishes, at least let me know the truth."

Chu Yuan just looked at Ling Xuan, Ling Xuan took back the wooden block with a bitter face, Qiqi is a highly poisonous drug, it is impossible for two people without martial arts to flip like Ling Xuan, Ling Xuan Wei Wei regretted calling the two of them, but listened to Chu Ziyan's order to open the book and continue.

He helped his younger brother establish the state of Chu, and left a son named Chu Zijing, who was sent to the dynasty in July.

He went out with the emperor and died on the battlefield at seventy years old. The emperor was very sad.

It's okay to die, it's okay to die, Ling Xuan heaved a sigh of relief, and slid out the content on the next page, the descendants of the Chu family are atonement for their lives, and the seventh generation is a royal worker.

It's over, Ling Xuan stared at the following content, not to be an official or a businessman, and a slave for life.

The affairs of the Chu family will end after this page, and then there will be a little introduction about the successive generations of prime ministers raising the descendants of the Chu family to do things for the dynasty, and then continue to talk about the next emperor. Ling Xuan looked at Chu Ziyan beside him.

Chu Ziyan looked at the book expressionlessly. Although Chu Yuan's surname was Chu, he was not from the Chu family, but he didn't know what to say at the moment of adoption. Does Chu know that their family's blood is in the imperial dynasty?The state of Chu attaches the most importance to the matter of bloodlines. If you know, you don't know what will happen.

Cultivating people from the Chu family to deal with the state of Chu is ruthless enough. Ling Xuan slid all the back pages out a few times to see if there was any other news. The last page mentioned a person from the Chu family.

The ancestor emperor did not allow father and son to meet each other, so Chu Huai went to the state of Chu to work as a spy.

He actually sent someone to be a secret agent, Ling Xuan slipped a drop of sweat, Chu Ziyan laughed suddenly, "Hahaha, I said why this old man won't let me be an official, so it is so, so it is so!"

"Then." Chu Ziyan looked at Ling Xuan, "Is he not my father?"

Ling Xuan didn't know how to comfort this friend who had been with him for more than ten years, so he just responded, "En."

"So, where is my father?" Chu Ziyan looked at Heipi's book.

"Not written." Ling Xuan opened the book, "The last person only wrote that when the first emperor was still the prince, a man named Chu Huai was sent to the state of Chu."

When the first emperor was still a prince, 30 years have passed since now, and even if he left a child, he must be at least 30 years old.

Chu Ziyan looked at the pages Ling Xuan turned over, "So, can't even father and son meet each other?"

"Which life am I?" Chu Ziyan murmured, looking away.

It has been more than 200 years since the founding of the dynasty, and seven or eight emperors have changed, so it should be the seventh generation. Ling Xuan turned around and looked at the past, but he couldn't tell from the emperor's deeds whether the Chu family changed. Several generations.

"I don't know." Ling Xuan said honestly, "I didn't write it down."

"That's right." Chu Ziyan straightened his waist, "The emperor's deeds are more important."

However, Ling Xuan discovered many secrets of the royal family, and patted Chu Ziyan on the shoulder, "Ann, I only now know that my grandfather is not Emperor Qi Yuan but his younger brother, Prince Qi."

This is also very confusing. Ling Xuan's father was the son of Emperor Qi Yuan's empress, but Emperor Qi Yuan was originally infertile, and the princes were all Prince Qi's. This is true.

"This really scared me." Ling Xuan said with emotion, "No wonder Father refused to let me see it. It turns out that Grandpa is Prince Qi."

No, actually the scariest thing is that although it is Prince Qi's child, it was indeed born to the empress. It's really complicated, how did Emperor Qi Yuan ascend to the throne in the first place.

Ling Xuan closed the book with a complicated expression, "Let's pretend we didn't see it."

Chu Yuan also nodded, "En." As a commoner, Chu Yuan was the calmest among them all.

"I'm going to find my father." Chu Ziyan said suddenly, "Go and ask the prime minister first."

"Wait." Ling Xuan grabbed Chu Ziyan, "Calm down, what will happen if you ask about this kind of thing, you won't know it?"

"What else?" Chu Ziyan was much calmer than Ling Xuan, "The war is about to start, and there is still hope to find it now. If the war starts, it will be impossible to find it at all."

"Although I understand your thoughts very well." Ling Xuan said with a bitter face, "but you should consider me as an accomplice."

Chu Ziyan was silent, then patted Ling Xuan on the shoulder, "Your brother will never do anything to you, don't worry."

"At least let me leave the dynasty!" Ling Xuan frowned instantly, "The freedom I finally won!"

Chu Ziyan sighed, "Then what do you want to do?"

"Let's go ask other people first." Ling Xuan smiled, "Why bother to ask the Prime Minister first, he and my brother have always been in collusion, if he finds out, it's fine."

"Even so." Chu Ziyan picked up the black book, "Who should I ask?"

Ling Xuan didn't answer Chu Ziyan's words, but quickly took out a handkerchief to cover his nose, and Chu Yuan who was beside him immediately opened the jar and put the wooden block back gently.

Chu Yuan closed the lid, and the smell disappeared, and Ling Xuan put down the handkerchief and said, "Don't be so careful, it's very strong."

Chu Ziyan frowned, but Chu Yuan just nodded, "Should the book be kept here?"

"Throw it into the lake." Ling Xuan casually picked it up and said, "It's useless anyway."

But, why does my brother have to look for this book? Ling Xuan said while throwing the book to Chu Ziyan, "Go back, after you study it, find a place to recognize it, if you burn it, it may poison you Be careful."

Chu Ziyan took the book and nodded seriously to Ling Xuan, "Thank you."

"When did you become so polite?" Ling Xuan patted Chu Ziyan with a casual smile and said, "Come to me if you have anything to do, if you want to ask the prime minister, let's talk about it after this year is over, I'll run away first Woolen cloth."

Chu Ziyan looked at Ling Xuan who was babbling and calculating and shook his head helplessly, "I know, it won't affect you, don't worry."

"Then I'm relieved." Ling Xuan smiled.

"Be careful too, don't seal your abilities when necessary." Chu Ziyan put the book in his arms and reminded.

"I understand." Ling Xuan pushed the door open, "Okay, let's go."

After getting along for so long, nothing has changed at all. Chu Ziyan looked at Ling Xuan in front of him. Chu Yuan was talking to him gently, with a gentle and elegant temperament between his eyes and brows. Something happened.

Chu Ziyan lowered his eyebrows and touched the book in his arms. Although he didn't have any opinions on the dynasty, although it was for atonement, but from the bottom of his heart, the dynasty did not let him down, and Chu Ziyan didn't care about being unable to be an official. , the only thing I care about is only one point.

The prime minister is not his father, so who is it?

The two people beside them were still discussing something, but Chu Ziyan didn't care anymore and was quietly thinking about his own affairs, until Ling Xuan suddenly pushed Chu Ziyan, "Are you listening, who are you asking? "

Chu Ziyan recovered and looked at Ling Xuan, it was true, he had friends for more than ten years, and he was not alone.

"do not know."

"It's your business anyway, pay attention!"
