The Grand Secretary’s Pampered Wife

Chapter 726 Recognition (one more)

Xiao Heng's clothes are not made of very expensive fabrics, but wearing a plain shirt on him, he still looks graceful and magnificent.

The house is very quiet.

I don't know if it's because he's insane looking at him, or because the monarch's reaction makes everyone afraid to breathe.

Or both.

The prince plucked up his courage and called out: "Father, father emperor?"

The monarch didn't hear it, or he didn't pay attention to him.

From the door to the bedside, it was only a short distance of more than ten steps, but the monarch walked for a long time.

He has passed the age when he would be excited about something, and his thousands of emotions are hidden in those weather-beaten eyes.

He came to the child.

The last time the two faced each other like this, the eldest grandson of the emperor was only a five-year-old child, and he returned to Shengdu with Shangguan Yan when he was less than two years old.

At the age of three, the Xuanyuan family rebelled.

At the age of four, the Xuanyuan family was destroyed.

At the age of five, he was imprisoned in the imperial tomb together with the princess.

Since then, the monarch can only see him from a distance in the National Teacher Hall almost every two years.

But every time the monarch would ask the national teacher to draw his portrait, so he recognized the child, no matter how far or near he was.

The monarch stopped in his tracks and looked at Xiao Heng steadfastly: "...Qing'er."

A hint of surprise flashed across Xiao Heng's eyes: "Your Majesty?"

Everyone was taken aback.

The monarch was stunned and said: "Do you still remember me?"

Xiao Heng: Wait, shouldn't "I" remember you? "I" goes back to Shengdu every two years. Don't tell me you haven't met your grandparents?

Naturally, this small situation couldn't trouble Xiao Heng.

Xiao Heng glanced at the crown prince who hadn't recovered from the shock at the door, and said without changing his face: "That person calls you emperor father, I think, except for your majesty, no one in the country of Yan can afford this title. "

The monarch came back to his senses: "So I just recognized it, no wonder you walked so crisply in the carriage last time."

Xiao Heng paused for a moment before realizing what the carriage was and what was the last time.

Nope.

Is that bald old man you?

This happened the night he was hunted down by Han Ye. The soldier who came to rescue him threw him into a carriage, and the carriage was split open. He only recognized Zhang Dequan.

The monarch asked: "Since you have come to Shengdu,

Why haven't you shown up? Why don't you go back to the palace to find me? "

Xiao Heng lowered his eyes and said with a sad face: "Because someone was chasing me, my mother told me to hide and not come out, but I heard the news that my mother was injured, so I really can't continue to hide."

The monarch's face sank.

The prince is a little out of order.

First of all, he didn't recognize Xiao Heng, the first time he saw him, he really thought it was Shangguan Qing who came back.

He didn't wake up like a dream until he heard this sentence of chasing and killing.

He never sent anyone to hunt down Shangguan Qing, he only dealt with Xiao Liulang from the beginning to the end.

The kid's original name was Xiao Heng, and his father was Xiao Ji, Marquis of Xuanping, Zhao Kingdom. At the age of fourteen, he sent someone to assassinate Xiao Heng, but Xiao Heng feigned death and escaped, surviving as Xiao Liulang.

The prince sometimes habitually calls him Xiao Liulang.

But it's not right, hasn't the tear mole under Xiao Heng's right eye been removed?

So is this Shangguan Qing or Xiao Heng?

He felt that Xiao Heng was more likely. After all, Xiao Heng was in Shengdu, but Shangguan Qing hadn't heard from him for a long time.

But isn't Xiao Heng not clear about his life experience?

How could he come here and impersonate Shangguan Qing?

The prince's mind was in a mess, and there was no way to sort out his thoughts on this occasion.

On the other hand, the little princess who was at the side walked in bouncing around.

The monarch introduced: "Xiaoxue, he is Shangguanqing... According to seniority, I have to call you little aunt."

Going to Lingbo Academy to go to school a lot, always getting along with Xiao Qingkong who is the same age, the little princess almost forgot that he is a little elder.

She hurriedly straightened her back, with a serious face, looked up at Xiao Heng and said, "I'm Shangguanxue..."

Yay!

This man looks good!

I really want to scratch my little face and scream!

The little princess actually met Xiao Heng when she went to Lingbo Academy for class on the first day, but at that time Xiao Heng was wearing the school uniform of Canglan Women's Academy and a veil on her face, so that people could not see her appearance.

Xiao Heng pretended that it was the first time he saw the little princess, squatted down on one knee, looked at Xiao Douding, smiled slightly and said, "Hello, Aunt Xiaoxue."

Countless pink bubbles appeared above the head of the little princess.

This nephew is so cute!

Not like that annoying bastard King Ming!

From today on, she will cover him!

The little princess's eyes were so bright that they could shine like stars, but she tried to be reserved and calm and said, "Well, hello little nephew."

Shangguan Qing follows his mother's surname, which is somewhat similar to the child born of a woman's son-in-law, so he is not the grandson of the monarch, and he should not be called the monarch's grandfather, but the emperor's grandfather.

It's just that Xiao Heng will not easily call out this "grandfather" right now.

Based on the monarch's attitude towards him, Xiao Heng has a preliminary judgment on the status of the emperor's eldest grandson in the monarch's mind - the monarch cares about this eldest grandson, even a little higher than he imagined.

Xiao Heng's decision was actually very risky, if the king didn't want to see Shangguan Qing at all, then he would be exposed in vain.

There were two people lying on the two beds in the room, one was Shangguan Yan who was still in a coma after the operation, and the other was Gu Jiao who was so tired that she fell asleep.

The monarch glanced over the two of them, finally landed on Shangguan Yan, and asked, "Did the doctor tell you how your mother is doing?"

Xiao Heng glanced at the sleeping Gu Jiao, squeezed his fingers and said: "I heard from this doctor surnamed Xiao that my mother broke two spines. In order to save my mother's life, my mother's back was shot hit eight nails."

Iron nails to the bone!

The monarch's aura instantly cooled down, and murderous aura filled the whole room in an instant.

The little princess who was not afraid of him subconsciously jumped towards Xiao Heng's feet, turned to look at the monarch, and hugged Xiao Heng's thigh, making it a leg pendant for his little nephew.

Xiao Heng didn't move, just let her hang up.

The monarch was very angry at the fact that the princess was so seriously injured. It is not known whether it was due to the remaining father-daughter relationship, or because the prestige of the monarch of a country was challenged.

Xiao Heng secretly planned in his heart what to say next.

"I heard that my mother slipped and fell off the hillside by herself."

The king looked over at him.

"My mother was deprived of martial arts before she went to the imperial mausoleum." Everyone knew about this, and it wasn't a secret. Xiao Heng had heard about it a long time ago, but the following words depended on Xiao Heng's performance based on Shangguan Yan's performance in Tianxiang Pavilion. Hu pinched, "But these years, in order to exercise my body, my mother will accompany me to practice martial arts. I am not talented, and I have not achieved anything in my studies. My mother has developed a little bit of skill."

To directly say that Shangguan Yan resumed martial arts would show that she has evil intentions, but if she said that she was teaching Shangguan Qing, who is weak and sick, there is nothing to doubt.

The monarch recalled how Shangguan Yan climbed over the wall from the cold palace, and it was indeed a bit of a three-legged cat.

It shouldn't be too powerful, otherwise it wouldn't be possible to get out of the palace.

Nan Shiniang is also a person who has been abolished in martial arts. Xiao Heng knows how high he can reach when he re-practices martial arts, so he didn't preach how powerful Shangguan Yan is in martial arts.

He went on to say: "My mother is very smart and has a little martial arts. I don't believe she would fall like this by herself."

"That's the palace. Does anyone dare to attack your mother in the palace?" The prince wanted to say that in his heart, but if he really said that, he would appear to be very suspicious.

The prince strode forward, and first moved a stool for the monarch to sit by the bed.

Oh, filial piety is still his filial piety.

To let the monarch stand for so long.

"Father." The prince said with a sad face while supporting the monarch to sit down, "I also feel that this matter is strange. Since you have banned Shangguanyan's feet for three times, I believe that she will not run away without authorization." Leaving Zhaoyang Palace, maybe I found some suspicious person, so I chased him out."

Good fellow, on the surface it is said that Shangguan Yan's injury is suspicious, but in fact, he is secretly emphasizing that Shangguan Yan violated the monarch's foot ban.

Who made you run out of Zhaoyang Hall in the middle of the night?

If you obediently listen to the king, won't everything be fine?

What is it if this is not self-inflicted?

The little princess couldn't understand what they were talking about, she hung on her little nephew's lap motionless, like a confused little Guoguo.

Xiao Heng's eyes turned cold, and he said with the spirit and temper of a young man: "How does His Highness know that my mother was lured out instead of being hijacked?"

The prince choked: "This..."

Xiao Heng said coldly: "I heard that not long after my mother returned to the palace, His Royal Highness ordered the guards below to injure my mother."

The prince retorted: "I didn't! The guards did it themselves! I think it's too late to stop it! The reason is that your mother pushed me! She pushed me down from the steps of the gazebo! Do you know how tall that gazebo is?"

Xiao Heng asked back: "That's why His Highness held a grudge and asked someone to throw my mother down from a high hill?"

The prince's eyes trembled, and he suddenly turned up the volume: No one! "

"That's enough, stop arguing!" the monarch said sternly.

The little princess blocked her ears with her fingers.

The monarch said to Zhang Dequan: "Take the little princess out."

"Yes." Zhang Dequan came over and carried the little princess out.

"What is the situation, you will know when your mother wakes up. How is your body?" the monarch asked Xiao Heng.

Xiao Heng was about to say that he was fine, but when the words came to his lips, he remembered that Shangguan Qing was a sick child. He changed his youthful aura and said wearily, "Same as usual."

The monarch said: "Since you are here, turn around and let the national teacher show you."

Xiao Heng didn't speak.

The monarch frowned and glanced at him: "What's wrong?"

Xiao Heng lowered his eyes and said in a low voice: "Anyway, it can't be cured, so there's no need to waste medicinal materials on me."

The monarch frowned deeply as he looked at his frail eldest grandson and Shangguan Yan who was seriously injured and unconscious.

There was an eerie silence in the room again.

The prince's heart gradually sank.

The monarch is getting old, although he is still moody and violent, but there is an inch of his heart that is not so hard.

This can be seen from his attitude towards the little princess.

He had never been so tolerant to the young Shangguan Yan.

Is it because he likes the little princess better?

No, he is not as cruel as he was when he was young.

Shangguan Yan's injury and the emperor's eldest grandson's illness all hit every inch of his heart.

The Xuanyuan family was destroyed at the right time. If it were now, when Queen Xuanyuan begged, who would guarantee that the monarch would still raise the butcher knife at Xuanyuan's family, even the infants?

The crown prince bowed his hands and said: "Father, leave this matter to my son to investigate. My son will definitely let the truth of what happened last night come to light, and give third sister justice."

This time, the monarch did not correct his "third sister".

The prince secretly clenched his fingertips.

"I have my own opinion on this matter." The monarch refused.

The prince was not surprised by his father's decision.

He didn't really want to take the matter over, he just made a statement in front of his father.

The monarch looked at Shangguan Yan with a complicated expression, and said to Xiao Heng: "I'm so good to take care of your mother... Your bedroom has not been moved."

The last sentence was undoubtedly taking the eldest grandson of the emperor back to the palace.

Xiao Heng said almost without thinking: "No, I want to stay in the National Teacher Hall to accompany my mother to recover from her injuries."

The monarch didn't say much, stood up and walked out the door.

The prince asked the servants to leave the tonic, turned around and followed.

When crossing the threshold, the monarch paused slightly, as if waiting for something.

However, he did not wait in the end.

Xiao Heng did it on purpose, he knew that the monarch was waiting for the grandfather, but in fact it was just acting at the moment, he could call him a hundred words, but he didn't want the monarch to fulfill his wish too early.

After all, things that are too easy to get are not cherished.

Xiao Heng carefully recalled his performance just now, and made sure that he did not make any major mistakes.

The monarch's love for Shangguan Qing's ancestors and grandchildren is an unexpected joy. One of the reasons for the monarch's preference for Shangguan Qing should be that Shangguan Qing's life is not long.

The monarch is jealous of anyone related to the Xuanyuan family, but a long-lived eldest grandson poses no threat to his imperial power.

The prince's performance today was very mediocre, impulsive and irritable, he would explode at the slightest bit, and he couldn't hold his breath.

But combined with what the prince did secretly, he speculated that this was just a disguise of the prince.

The purpose is to make people feel that he can't hide things in his heart, and can't play dirty.

Xiao Heng touched the tear mole under his right eye that was dotted with ink, and said lightly: "Let's see, who can pretend better."
