Chapter 353: Belated affection is cheaper than grass

Xiao Heng knew that after accepting Dashuo's protection for so long, it was time for him to return the favor.

Sure enough, Gu Huaiyu asked him if he missed his hometown after being in Dashuo for so long.

Xiao Heng answered frankly: After my mother and sister died, I had no hometown. But I still often dream of Dongling in the middle of the night. The murderer who hurt my mother and sister is still at large. I think it's time to go back!

Xiao Heng will never forget the emperor's kindness in taking me in. I will do my best to help Dashuo escape this crisis! "

Gu Huaiyu did not show much excitement. He said calmly: "Then I will also lend a helping hand to the second prince so that you can kill your enemy! "

Smart people talk so easily. Just a few words have already facilitated cooperation.

Soon, Xiao Heng, the second prince of Dongling, set off for Dongling with the advanced technology learned from Dashuo and thousands of technicians.

Before leaving, he went to the girls' school to say goodbye to Su Lingxi. Although the two had some interactions, they were not very familiar with each other, and no one knew what they talked about.

This journey must have been turbulent. The Queen and the Prince of Dongling had never taken Xiao Heng seriously. However, after his diplomatic mission to Dashuo, he sent a letter to Dongling almost every month, telling about the customs and advanced technology of Dashuo. He could be regarded as a promoter of Dashuo's customs.

As a result, his reputation among the people became higher and higher. This caused dissatisfaction among the Crown Prince of Dongling.

More importantly, Li Yunshu's intelligence organization revealed that the Queen's mother's family had formed a clique for personal gain and challenged the imperial power, and the Emperor of Dongling began to be dissatisfied with the Queen's family.

This made the Crown Prince of Dongling even more panicked, worrying that his position as Crown Prince would be lost.

Therefore, as soon as Xiao Heng left the border of Dashuo, he was attacked one after another.

Fortunately, with the more than a thousand technicians he brought with him, each of them had unique skills, and Li Yunshu's people secretly supported him, he was able to return to Dongling smoothly. After

two years of not seeing each other, Xiao Heng is no longer the timid and abandoned child who shrunk and competed with dogs for food.

Now he is strong and healthy, and when the Emperor of Dongling saw him, he was so excited that tears flowed down his face. He took his hand and said:

"Heng'er, you have grown up. Your face is exactly like your mother's. It's a pity that she was beautiful but unlucky, and she and your sister died of the plague. If she could see with her own eyes that you look like an animal now, she would definitely be happy!"

Xiao Heng's heart was like a knife when he heard Emperor Dongling mention his mother and sister. He clenched his fists tightly and tried his best to restrain himself from hitting the dog emperor.

He actually had the nerve to mention his mother and sister. At that time, Emperor Dongling coveted his mother's beauty and forced her into the palace. He knew that the empress was jealous and humiliated his mother, but he pretended to be deaf and dumb.

After his mother became pregnant, she cried and begged him to save her child. The method that Emperor Dongling came up with was to kill her . His mother was banished to the cold palace. He

even said it was to cover up the truth.

He knew that his mother was pregnant, that there was a lack of food and clothing in the cold palace, and that the servants all obeyed the queen, but he never cared about his mother, leaving her to fend for herself in the cold palace!

In Xiao Heng's dream, when his mother was pregnant, there was no one to serve her, and the umbilical cord connecting him and his mother was bitten off by his mother's teeth.

After he was born, his mother's life became more and more difficult, and he didn't know how to avoid it. How many open and secret attacks did he have to endure to survive until now.

The most infuriating thing is that the lustful and stupid emperor was offended by the empress and ran to the cold palace to humiliate his mother, which gave birth to his sister.

After that, he was ignored for a long time until that day when he came to the cold palace again and talked to his mother. The jealous woman killed both his mother and his sister.

When his mother was alive, he never protected her at all. When she died, he never asked a single question. Now, he actually has the nerve to... Bring up his mother.

Xiao Heng's hatred for him was no less than that for the empress.

But now, he couldn't show it at all. He also looked at the Emperor of Dongling with tears in his eyes. What a picture of deep affection.

How could he not know that he was still the emperor's tool. He wanted to use his life before to create an excuse to invade Dashuo.

Now, he wanted to promote himself and shock the empress and the prince.

Come on, let's use each other! Xiao Heng gritted his teeth and shouted: "Father!"

The Emperor of Dongling was very happy. With a wave of his hand, he named Xiao Heng the King of Xian and gave him a mansion!

Xiao Heng prepared gifts for the emperor, the empress, and all the princes and princesses.

When facing the empress, he still shrank timidly: "Your son, your son will help the queen to live a long and healthy life! "

The queen's anxious heart finally settled down a little. They were too anxious. A wild child who eats from a puppy's bowl, even if the throne is handed over to him, he can't accept it!

In the days that followed, Xiao Heng always played the role of a craftsman obsessed with house construction, saying that this was the best skill he learned in Dashuo.

He was busy drawing and designing every day, saying that he wanted to build a palace for his father with his own hands.

The Emperor of Dongling observed him for more than a month. He did not go out of the house every day. Apart from drawing and revising the drawings, he did not interact with anyone.

The spy said cautiously: "Your Majesty, the second prince should not be an informant of Dashuo. Our spy in Dashuo also said that after going to Dashuo for so long, he only met the Emperor of Dashuo twice, and the one he met was the deceased emperor. The rest of the time he spent in the girls' school studying skills! ”

“Keep staring at him!” The emperor’s brows were stern. None of these sons made him worry-free.

When he was young, he felt that these princes were just vehicles for carrying on the family line, and he did not have deep feelings for any of his children.

The reason why the prince was the prince was because he had a grandfather with a strong enough background.

But now the advantage of the prince has turned into a disadvantage and has become a thorn in the emperor’s heart.

He began to envy the days of having children and grandchildren, but every one of his children was either afraid or indifferent to him.

Xiao Heng is different from them, he has not been corrupted by power, and he still maintains the innocence and kindness of his mother.

“Send some things for the winter to King Xian. Every capable person around him, and he himself is dull, I’m afraid he can’t arrange these! "

Xiao Heng looked at the piles of premium animal skins, fine cotton, and silver charcoal, and his fingers crackled.

People who have not experienced it will never understand how difficult the winter in the cold palace is.

His mother sewed together all the cloth she could find, and the three of them huddled together for warmth, but they were still shivering from the cold.

Many times, he asked his mother, "Mother, are we going to freeze to death!"

Where was he at that time? Did he ever think about the concubine he had captured and her two children who were starving and freezing?

The late affection is worthless. These things only remind him not to forget the sufferings of his mother and sister.
