"Dragon blood of Daxia?" Ye Hongyi almost thought she heard it wrong, but she was confident that she heard it right.
She was in disbelief, her eyes almost bulging out:
"Brother, you...are you the prince?"
Xiao Chaoguo rolled his eyes: "I'm afraid so."
Fang Jue pressed the wound and felt a slight pain. He had been poisoned. Although the poison was detoxified, the wound was not small and almost penetrated.
"this……"
Ye Hongyi lost the ability to speak.
After a long while, he finally managed to say: "How is this possible?"
"The young master is twenty years old this year. He may be the descendant of the late emperor, or the blood of the current majesty..."
Xiao Chaoguo tried his best and said that these two answers are completely different.
If Fang Jue were the former emperor's son, the problem would be even more serious. The emperor would never tolerate a brother who was so knowledgeable and talented and two or three rounds younger than himself.
If it were the prince, maybe things could still be worked around.
"Indeed, I only found out about the Dragon Blood of Daxia when Prince Ning died... The old pavilion master deliberately hid it from me for three years. If he had known earlier, I might not have come to Daxia."
Fang Jue smiled. Although his identity was valuable, it was actually useless and could easily be suspected.
The emperor will definitely be worried.
"Young Master...what do you want me to do?" Xiao Chaoguo frowned.
He was also hesitating in his mind as to how to deal with this matter.
Ye Hongyi looked at Fang Jue and felt that her eyes were different. There was some doubt in her admiration.
Even she would be worried that Fang Jue's visitor was evil and was planning for the throne.
Not to mention others.
"First Sir, I want you to report this matter to Your Majesty." Fang Jue said calmly.
"Brother?" Ye Hongyi asked worriedly, "Why don't you cover it up? If your Majesty knows, he will definitely..."
"What do you mean, Young Master?"
Xiao Chaoguo couldn't understand it.
Fang Jue said: "I was not born in the palace. Even though I am pregnant with dragon blood, I did not get the golden seal book to be admitted to the imperial family."
"Even if I reveal my identity, there is no possibility of usurping the throne."
"I want to know how His Majesty will react. If he feels unwell, I can return to Taihuang Mountain immediately."
When Ye Hongyi heard this, he hesitated a little, and there was a hint of unknown meaning in his eyes.
…
Royal study room.
"Your Majesty, please step aside." Xiao Chaoguo came to see the emperor at night.
As soon as we meet, please ask your Majesty to clear out the people on your left and right.
"Master Xiao, this is against the rules." Wang Feng narrowed his eyes, stood up and glared.
Mo Yuan also touched the handle of the knife and glanced at Xiao Chaoguo, "What do you want to do?"
"What's wrong?" Xiao Pingsi was confused, "Ai Qing, what happened, why are you so serious?"
"Could it be the case of Young Master's assassination? What was found?"
Xiao Pingsi said coldly: "There is no need to cover it up. Anyone found will be dealt with severely. I will never tolerate it. Let's just say that."
Xiao Chaoguo looked at the two people present and said: "Your Majesty, what I want to say is related to the royal family's secrets, and it is not suitable for too many people to hear."
"Huh?" Xiao Pingsi was surprised, and the two people were even more puzzled.
In the case of the young master, how did you find out the royal secrets?
"Could it be that the royal family did it?" Xiao Pingsi was furious, "Even if my uncle is so bold, I will never tolerate him!"
Xiao Chaoguo was extremely helpless and said: "It's not the murderer, but someone else..."
Seeing how persistent Xiao Chaoguo was, Xiao Pingsi narrowed his eyes and said, "Mo Qing, please step back."
Wang Feng didn't move at all, and Xiao Pingsi didn't let him go.
Wang Feng knows enough secrets, and one more is not much.
"Master Xiao, don't make a mistake." When Mo Yuan walked out, he warned Xiao Chaoguo in a low voice.
"Bang."
After the door to the imperial study room was closed again, Xiao Chaoguo glanced at Wang Feng.
"Old minister will not retreat." Wang Feng was so loyal that he had guarded against these masters all his life, but he was worried about Mo Yuan and Xiao Chao's assassination attempt.
At this time, he will not leave.
Xiao Chaoguo stopped pretending and said, "Your Majesty, I have discovered a secret that holds the heavens high!"
"What secret? Is it related to the Young Master?" Xiao Pingsi was puzzled.
"I discovered that the young master... possesses the blood of the Great Xia dragon!"
"..."
The imperial study was as silent as cicadas.
After a long time, Wang Feng finally laughed: "Here, Mr. Xiao, you are really good at joking...it's just that such a joke is not funny!"
Xiao Chaoguo looked at the emperor, speechless, but his eyes were firm.
Xiao Pingsi was so shocked that he leaned on his chair.
After a long while, he pinched the corners of his eyes and stared at Xiao Chaoguo: "Did I hear you correctly?"
"Young Master possesses dragon blood?"
Xiao Pingsi glared: "Could it be that you are planning to frame Young Master?"
Naturally, he reacted like this. The young master has made great contributions and will have a bright future.
None of the parties wanted to see the rise of such a person. If he really became the future chief assistant, the situation would change drastically.
Xiao Chaoguo knelt down and said: "I would never dare to have such an intention. The young master was stabbed and injured. The dragon blood was discovered by my personal inspection. I also went to Fangjiazhuang to test it and it is confirmed to be true!"
"this……"
Xiao Pingsi looked at Wang Feng and said in astonishment: "But how is this possible?"
"I have left Xiao Luoye, and there is no prince outside!"
"Could it be that the child of a concubine or nobleman in the harem was taken out?"
It can't be the late emperor's.
When the late emperor died, he was already very old. He had not been blessed by anyone for many years, so the time was not right.
The only possibility is that he is Xiao Pingsi's own prince.
"I suspect that Young Master is the real Xiao Luoye... The old Pavilion Master is covering up for Young Master. He must have known this for a long time." Xiao Chaoguo said seriously.
Wang Feng had quietly retreated to the back. He wished he could disappear immediately and regretted that he was still standing here at this time.
Marde, why am I so loyal... I'm afraid I'll die if I hear this kind of secret...
"He is Xiao Luoye..."
Xiao Pingsi's face overflowed with surprise, which immediately turned into worry.
"Is he here to recognize his ancestors or to take revenge?"
From Xiao Pingsi's point of view, Xiao Luoye came to the capital under a different identity and stirred up trouble... But he had not forgotten how Xiao Luoye's biological mother died.
That woman died in the harem for the crime of deceiving the emperor.
In Xiao Luoye's eyes, this may not be revenge for killing his mother.
"Your Majesty..." Seeing the emperor's reaction, Xiao Chaoguo sighed with understanding in his heart.
Human nature is difficult to contain, and its malice and suspicion are always present.
…
The next day there was an impromptu court meeting, and the emperor sent someone to deliver an oral message asking the young master to go to the palace.
When the inner prison went there, they found that Fangjiazhuang was empty.
"Your Majesty, the young master left with his seal, leaving behind his official uniform and official seal..." The internal prison officer who reported the report was panic-stricken and didn't know what had happened.
"What?" The officials were shocked.
Zhuge Qingshan and Yan Lanfeng looked at each other, feeling stunned and confused.
What happened that caused the young master to resign naked?
"..."
In the court, Xiao Pingsi felt sad for a moment after hearing the news, but felt a little at peace in his heart.
I couldn't help but laugh at myself: "I still don't have enough structure. I forced him to leave."
At this moment, he already understood that what he had lost was a truly virtuous minister, not a prince.
