Chapter 340: Blending into the Night
He had always looked down upon Emperor Shunkang. It was fine when he was a child, but since he ascended to that position, he had become suspicious and treacherous, and had no talent or virtue. He did not behave like an emperor at all.
It’s just that they originally had no interest in that position, and they felt that they all had the same father, so no matter who sat on that position, they were all descendants of the Xuanyuan family, and this country also belonged to the Xuanyuan family.
Now it seems that they were too naive and thought things were too simple. They once thought that Emperor Shun Kang would take the overall situation into consideration when he ascended to that position, even if he was not a qualified emperor.
Xuanyuan Wu suddenly said, "Maybe the reason he became like this is related to what happened with Old Five and Old Six."
The three of them looked at him at the same time.
Seeing this, Xuanyuan Wu touched his nose and looked into the distance, as if he was recalling something.
"When I was working for King Yongxuan in Beidi, I heard him casually mention this matter, but I didn't know the details."
What he didn't say was that King Yongxuan used this incident to satirize the Xuanyuan royal family, who only knew how to do despicable things.
"I believe that the one who has been trying to kill us must have had something to do with the Southwest Gate Rebellion. The fifth and sixth brothers believed the slanderous rumors that our father intended to pass the throne to the fifth brother. Suspecting that our father's death was also the work of Emperor Shun Kang, they led half of the court in a sensational Southwest Gate Rebellion."
"At that time, the southwest gate was a river of blood. Almost all the court officials who participated in the mutiny were killed. The fifth and sixth brothers were captured alive and torn apart by five horses in public. As for their wives, children, and relatives, they all escaped or died. This incident has basically become a taboo, and no one is allowed to mention it again!"
Many years have passed since this incident, and it has almost become a taboo in the Xuanyuan royal family. As for the fifth and sixth brothers, all the stories have been completely erased, as if they never existed. Only those who have experienced the original incident will know a little about it.
None of the three of them were involved in that turmoil. Xuanyuan Yi was in Meishan at that time, in seclusion with his master.
The brothers Xuanyuan Feng and Xuanyuan Wu were at the border. When they rushed back from the border, everything had been settled.
Perhaps only people in the capital know what exactly happened at that time.
It seems that Xia Chengsheng was recuperating in Beijing during that time due to his injury. He should know something!
Xuanyuan Feng said, "That guy not only hates the Fifth and Sixth Brothers, but he also hates every one of us brothers who share the same father. Furthermore, over the years, he's been secretly tracking down the whereabouts of the Fifth and Sixth Brothers' descendants. I suspect he's not just afraid of us and wants to get rid of us, but he also suspects we might be harboring the descendants of the Fifth and Sixth Brothers."
This was all the purpose of Emperor Shunkang that he could think of at the moment.
Thinking of this, Xuanyuan Feng couldn't help but sneer. For a trumped-up charge, Emperor Shunkang had killed countless people. If it was really as he guessed, he would make Emperor Shunkang kneel down to make amends for those dead heroes, and use his blood to commemorate the people who were killed by his selfishness.
Xuanyuan Yi placed the peeled nuts in Xia Xing'er's hands, his face calm and expressionless as he said, "Wait until we get to him and put the knife to his neck, and then we'll know whether it's true or not."
Xia Xing'er felt that Xuanyuan Yi was right. Not only did he cause great harm to the three Xuanyuan Yi brothers, but the entire Xia family had suffered an unprovoked disaster.
The dog emperor has harmed them so badly, it is not too much to take his life!
Just then, the waiter knocked on the door of the private room and brought up the food they ordered.
The three brothers ended the topic.
The fish in Fu Yue Restaurant are indeed quite fresh, but they are still far inferior to the fish raised in Xia Xing'er's space.
Xuanyuan Feng and Xuanyuan Wu's appetites have been spoiled by Xia Xing'er in the past month, and now they always feel that the fish from Fu Yue Restaurant is lacking a little flavor.
They had experienced the ups and downs of life in the palace and had gone hungry at the border. They knew even more how hard it was to come by food and how precious it was. They were reluctant to waste it, so they ate the fish that was served to them.
Xuanyuan Yi carefully put the fish with the bones picked out into Xia Xing'er's bowl. Of course, Xia Xing'er was also picking out the fish bones carefully, fearing that Xuanyuan Yi might miss some because he couldn't see. However, after picking for a long time, she didn't find a single fish bone.
I couldn't help but feel a little confused. I couldn't see how he picked out the fish bones so cleanly!
When they left Fu Yue's restaurant, they no longer felt the prying gaze, but as soon as they walked out of the restaurant, they were followed by someone not too far away.
Those people were very perceptive. They seemed to know that the people in front of them had sharp senses, so they didn't follow too closely.
Xia Xing'er originally thought that these people were spies from Beidi, and left when they saw them enter the inn.
He was puzzled, and when they returned to the inn, he said, "You go back to your room and rest first. I'm going out for a while!"
Hearing this, Xuanyuan Yi said a little aggrievedly: "Xing'er, I can't see now, do you think I'm a burden?"
He was such a down-and-out man that even his handsome face was suppressed.
"No, you're overthinking it. Forget it, I'll just take you with me!"
Xia Xing'er couldn't stand his pitiful appearance, so she decided to keep him by her side.
Although he had already made this decision, he couldn't help but scold her: "Just because you're injured, you can use this to play the victim. I'm just being soft-hearted. Why don't you try it with someone else?"
Xuanyuan Yi's smile was intoxicating and brilliant, and there was no trace of the lost look on his face just now.
He suppressed his smile and said, "Okay!"
Seeing him like this, Xia Xing'er felt a little itchy and wanted to hold his hand, but she also said confidently: "You can't see now, I will hold your hand and walk with you."
"good!"
He responded to Xia Xing'er's every request and even extended his hand so that Xia Xing'er could pull more smoothly.
Xia Xing'er sighed in her heart: "How can there be such a sensible person!"
She held his hand tightly and said, "Let's go!"
Neither of them disturbed Xuanyuan Feng and Xuanyuan Wu, and quietly left the inn.
Xing'er locked onto those figures with her spiritual sense and followed them.
They came to Fu Yue Restaurant again.
By this time, dinner time had passed and the bustle of the restaurant had died down a bit.
Xia Xing'er and the other person did not enter the restaurant, but took Xuanyuan Yi directly to the rooftop. Both of them were very quiet.
Xuanyuan Yi hid in the shadows and blended into the darkness.
