Chapter 152
Concealing the truth
A moment later, the sixth prince, wearing a gold embroidered python robe, walked into the imperial study from the outside.
He glanced at Yang Feihu and his face changed slightly. Wasn't this man the one who saved him?
Emperor Yan glanced at Yang Feihu and said, "Please step back first."
"Yes, Wei Chen resigns."
Yang Feihu bowed down respectfully and exited the study room, and closed the door of the study room.
Before leaving, he glanced at the Sixth Prince, feeling a little surprised.
Because he felt that the Sixth Prince looked at him with deep meaning. Could it be that the Sixth Prince had any prejudice against him?
After he exited the imperial study, the Sixth Prince immediately stepped forward, saluted Emperor Yan and said, "My son, I will see you, Emperor Father."
Emperor Yan nodded and said, "No courtesy, Chen'er, come quickly and let me have a good look at it."
"Yes." The Sixth Prince responded and immediately stepped forward.
He walked to the imperial case, and Emperor Yan took his hand and said with a smile: "My Xiaoliu has grown into a man."
The sixth prince smiled shyly: "Thank you very much, my dear father, for the compliment."
"Okay, don't be formal, come and sit down." Emperor Yan motioned for him to sit down.
He also ordered his personal eunuch Li Defu to bring snacks and tea to the Sixth Prince.
After the sixth prince sat down, he heard Emperor Yan ask: "Xiao Liu, my father heard that you were assassinated yesterday?"
"Yes." The sixth prince nodded. Not only was he assassinated yesterday, he was assassinated almost every day recently.
Later, the Sixth Prince explained: "Fortunately, there is an expert to help, otherwise the child would be in bad luck."
"Oh, that's it." Emperor Yan nodded and said, "It seems that this master's martial arts skills are extraordinary. Do you know his name?"
The Sixth Prince hesitated and said, "My son was unconscious at the time. I don't know who saved my son. When I woke up, I saw the gentleman just now."
"That was my Dragon Hidden Guard just now. He went out specifically to look for you this time."
Emperor Yan laughed loudly and said: "It's okay if you don't know. Long Yinwei will help you find your benefactor."
"Thank you, Father, for making me worry." Xiao Yichen said respectfully to Emperor Yan, who was sitting on the imperial dragon chair.
Emperor Yan looked at his son sitting next to him with a respectful tone. He was very satisfied with his son's attitude.
He nodded, "I know you are a sensible child, but this time it is about your life. You still have to be prepared. After all, this may be about your life."
"Father, please rest assured, I will act with caution."
"Xiao Liu, I heard that you met the eldest lady of the Lin family of the Earl's Mansion in Shuangjiang Town?" Emperor Yan suddenly asked.
When the Sixth Prince heard this, his expression suddenly became stern, and he quickly shook his head in denial: "Miss Lin family, I don't know her."
Sister Lin was beaten unconscious by a general named by her father and then thrown into a mass grave.
She also strangled the young lady of the Marquis to death. He didn't dare to tell his father the truth.
When Emperor Yan saw the evasive look in his sixth son's eyes, it was obvious that he was not telling the truth. This son was still too young.
At the age of sixteen or seventeen, he had already been fighting in the palace for many years at his age.
Emperor Yan did not expose him immediately, but laughed and said: "I just asked casually, you answered too quickly."
"Father, Emperor Mingjian." The sixth prince hurriedly knelt down to plead guilty. He knew that this matter could not be hidden from Emperor Yan.
He denied it too quickly just now, and it felt like he was trying to hide it. He was so embarrassed that he didn't know what to say.
Looking at his son like this, Emperor Yan nodded and said, "Let's get up and talk. My father is not a foolish king. Is there anything we can't say?"
Hearing what his father said, the sixth prince breathed a sigh of relief and quickly stood up to thank him.
"My son went out for training this time. During the final battle with the Turks, a traitor appeared beside him. He was stabbed in the back by the people around him and was rescued by General Lu..."
The sixth prince glanced at his father and found that his face was getting darker and darker, so he quickly finished speaking.
"Oh? General Lu saved you? You are so lucky." A smile appeared on Emperor Yan's face and he looked at his sixth son.
When the Sixth Prince heard this, he quickly lowered his head and said humbly: "Father, you are ridiculous. In fact, my son's life was saved by General Lu.
But General Lu was killed by his brother and was forced to live as a hunter in the mountains. When I came back this time, I wanted to seek justice for General Lu."
"Oh? General Lu was killed by his good brother? Then why did he want to assassinate you?" Emperor Yan asked with a frown.
"The person who chased Erchen was not Lu Shaodong. It was another group of people who assassinated Erchen. They also pushed Erchen off the cliff."
The sixth prince gritted his teeth angrily and said that he didn't know who wanted to kill him before.
Since being chased along the road this time, he has escaped death several times and really learned some things.
"Who did it?" Emperor Yan said angrily, his eyes as cold as ice.
"Father, please calm down. There is no one around me to investigate. I don't know who sent the assassin. They want to take the opportunity to get rid of me."
The sixth prince hid his suspicion and said innocently.
"Hmph! I want to see who they are. How dare they dare to touch my son?"
Emperor Yan's voice was full of anger and majesty, making the air around him tense.
The sixth prince's heart trembled, and he knelt down quickly, "I will do my best to find out the mastermind behind this."
"Okay! Please step back first." Emperor Yan waved his hand and said.
Emperor Yan waved his hand to signal Xiao Yichen to step back, then lowered his head and continued to read the memorial.
Xiao Yichen bowed slightly, turned around and walked out of the imperial study. When standing at the entrance of the palace, Xiao Yichen raised his head and looked at the magnificent palace.
He had no interest in that position before, but now he has someone to protect, and he wants to compete for it.
When the Sixth Prince retired, Emperor Yan sat on the dragon chair and began to think deeply.
Could it be that the Turkic man dared to hurt my son? He should be punished accordingly.
But Emperor Yan knew that the person who wanted to kill Xiaoliu this time was not a Turk.
Then there is only one possibility, and that is his good son. As for who it is, it remains to be investigated.
If Lu Shaodong was able to hide his identity and replace Lu Shaoqian's identity, then there must be someone in Yanjing to help him.
This person is very obvious. His imperial concubine is Lu Shaodong's biological aunt. Could it be that Duke Mu's mansion is also involved?
In the dead of night, Lu Shaoqian was still exercising with his wife in his arms. He seemed tireless.
He guessed that the emperor would take action, but Lu Shaoqian never dreamed that the emperor would take action so fast.
Countless Longyin guards have arrived in Shuangjiang Town, and Lu Shaodong has left Shuangjiang Town with his mother and children.
Lu Shaoqian didn't know anything about these things. It would be a real loss if he killed Lu Shaodong and then became his general again.
Lu Shaodong has turned the good Shuangjiang County into a mess and made the people miserable. He will not bear the blame!
He just wants to hold his wife and try to have a baby...
