Not long after the emperor finished speaking, Wei Xiuchu took Xie Ling away.
Wei Xiuchu had his own bedroom in the imperial palace, not far from the princess's palace, just across a back garden.
The parasol trees rustle and the green bamboos sway, casting mottled shadows on the cobblestone road.
The palace is not gorgeous, but it is full of meticulousness. Whether it is the cat-shaped stone table, the small lake, or the rugged rockery, they all show the owner's interest.
At this moment, Xie Ling was standing under the tall osmanthus tree in the yard, looking at its trunk covered with mottled sword marks.
"Uncle, did you draw this?"
Wei Xiuchu nodded, looking up at the tall osmanthus tree with withered branches, his eyes filled with nostalgia, "Yes, when I was young, I practiced sword skills and always accidentally swung my sword at it."
Xie Ling also looked up: "This tree is so tall."
Wei Xiuchu chuckled: "In the summer, the pavilions are tall and green, and the green grass is eye-catching. At that time, my brother and mother always liked to come to my place to avoid the shade, insisting that it was cool here."
Wei Xiuchu was in a trance for a moment.
Emperor Wei Xiuying was not his biological brother. His biological mother died shortly after he was born.
The queen at that time felt sorry for him, so she brought him to the Pepper Palace and raised him.
A few years later, Wei Xiuchu was born.
Wei Xiuying loved Wei Xiuchu very much and treated him very well, perfectly fulfilling his responsibilities as an older brother.
When Wei Xiuchu was punished, he would help him copy books.
When Wei Xiuchu goes out to play, he will cover for him.
Young Wei Xiuchu felt that happiness was truly within reach.
For a moment, he seemed to smell the rich fragrance of osmanthus and see the dense branches and leaves waving in the wind.
The sun shone brightly, illuminating the tender face of the young man in white. He waved to his mother, the queen mother, who was standing under the osmanthus tree. His brother, the emperor, was practicing calligraphy under the tree.
The mother was furious. While sorting out his clothes, she gently muttered, "You are running so fast again. Why don't you learn to be more steady like your elder brother..."
Time flies, as if it were just a moment.
He grew from a teenager to middle-aged.
The young man hid leisurely under the shade of flowers, the sky was like a mirror.
In middle age, I looked up and saw cold and withered branches and solitary jackdaws.
Wei Xiuchu withdrew his thoughts and said coldly, "Come out. I don't want to say it a second time."
After these words were spoken, several young eunuchs came out tremblingly from behind the rockery or the phoenix tree.
One even popped its head out of the lake, soaking wet.
Before Wei Xiuchu could say anything, these people quickly knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty, spare us, it was His Majesty who asked us to take care of you."
Wei Xiuchu knocked on the stone table with one hand, "Take care? The king does not need care."
These people trembled even more violently, "Your Majesty, if you chase us away, we will definitely not survive this night."
Wei Xiuchu held his forehead with his hand, "Guards outside the courtyard, come over here too."
As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of metal armor was heard from afar.
A dozen guards came in one after another and knelt in front of Wei Xiuchu.
They were sure that Wei Xiuchu was kind and would not drive them away.
This is actually true.
Wei Xiuchu is too kind. He sighed.
"Go do your thing. I was just checking to see how many people there were."
A group of people left with gratitude.
The emperor's brother was sensitive and suspicious, so every time he came back, someone would be sent to monitor him.
Wei Xiuchu could accept it at first, but now he doesn’t quite understand it.
So many years.
He is disfigured and his legs are disabled, so why doesn't his brother trust him?
The friendships of our youth eventually dissipated.
Maybe there never was, and he just didn't notice it.
"Uncle."
Xie Ling walked over and patted him on the shoulder, "Please teach me how to write. I saw some writing brush, ink, paper and inkstone in the study."
Wei Xiuchu's eyes flickered.
"good."
Xie Ling pushed him to the study.
The outside of the hall was very clean, but the study was full of dust.
Xie Ling picked up the pen and wrote in a tortoise-like handwriting, "Linglong is not dead."
Wei Xiuchu: "Thank you, An Ning. Why did you choose to help us?"
Xie Ling: "Linglong is also my friend. Remember what I said about coming to Wei Zhao to find a friend? She is the one I'm looking for."
Wei Xiuchu's eyes widened slightly, and he suddenly remembered that a few months ago, Linglong said that she knew a miracle doctor who would come to treat her later.
I didn’t expect that person to be at peace!
Xie Ling also curved her eyes, "We are destined to meet after so many twists and turns. By the way, Linglong told me some secrets of the royal family. You must stay calm in the following words."
Wei Xiuchu took a deep breath and nodded slowly.
After burning all the papers in front of him, Xie Ling looked serious and picked up the pen.
"Linglong saw the King of Qi in Xiyue Palace. The King of Qi is not dead. He said that he never plotted a rebellion, and that everything was a play planned by the emperor. Your disability and disfigurement are all because of him.
The King of Qi has been hiding in the secret room of Wei Zhao's palace for many years. The emperor has been trying to find the secret room for many years, but he has never found it.
Linglong was poisoned by the King of Qi. The King of Qi said that only you can cure this poison, but once you know that Linglong was poisoned, you will also know that he is not dead, and then you will know everything.
Linglong's fate is entirely in the hands of the emperor. It all depends on whether he is willing to reveal this secret and tell you all this."
Finished.
Xie Ling had a complicated expression.
Obviously, the emperor not only didn't say it, but even wanted to poison Wei Linglong.
The most beloved daughter is still as light as a feather in the face of power and can be abandoned at any time.
Wei Xiuchu's eyes became colder and colder, and his hands trembled uncontrollably.
Although he was mentally prepared, he still felt heartbroken when he learned the truth.
