Gu Xin felt goosebumps all over his body due to the emperor's words, so he hurriedly kneeled down and begged for forgiveness. In comparison to Gu Han's apology, Xiao Zongxian didn't have any more sincerity.

His Majesty was already used to it. He waved his hand and asked Gu Han the moment he walked out of the study, "You are currently being filial. Is it possible for you to lead your troops to the border?"

Xiao Zongxian sneered in his heart, Gu Xin was currently in the midst of filial piety, how could he lead his troops to war.

"Reporting to your majesty, before dying, your subject's grandfather once said that no matter when, as long as your majesty needs it, as long as the common people need it, my Gu family's army can always rush to the border and bravely kill the enemy."

Xiao Zongxian still wanted to hear more, but the door to the imperial study had already been closed. The head eunuch led the way and said, "Crown Prince, His Majesty asked this old servant to arrange the palace to be called the Jade Water Palace. If you live there, there will naturally be a young eunuch attending to you."

Xiao Zongxian did not have a good impression of this old eunuch. He was the Chief Eunuch assigned to his son by the late emperor and had served his majesty the emperor closely since a young age. When he was young, he showed himself to be brave and loved the emperor for making things difficult for him.

Afterwards, his father tried to go to His Majesty's side a few times, but he was always stopped by the emperor.

Every time his father mentioned him, he would always grit his teeth in hatred. It was because the emperor had always protected him, that his father was unable to do anything to him.

The man himself was slippery and would never let himself be caught.

After a long time, Royal Father would no longer be willing to make a move on him.

I really want to kill him! Of course, if it wasn't for the ten or so guards with powerful martial arts following behind him and the secret guards in the palace lurking in the darkness, Xiao Zongxian would have already made his move.

Speaking of that year, Xiao Zongxian had suddenly recalled a person.

"Director Zhang, do you still remember the reading companion for your Majesty when he was young?"

"Accompanying reading? I wonder who you are talking about. General Duan, this old servant remembers you. "

"Duan Buyan, natural son isn't talking about him."

"Oh, who is that? Unfortunately, the second young master of the Lan family in Han Lin Yuan's courtyard has become frail and sickly ever since the first illness he had at the age of ten, so he passed away at such a young age. Ah, back then General Duan was too old-fashioned, Lord Murong was too wooden, and was actually the second young master of the Lan family. He was truly a humorous and interesting character, even when the news of his death reached His Majesty, His Majesty was unable to sleep in peace for a whole half a month, and now he would often mutter to the old servant about how the second young master had not suffered so much. "

Xiao Zongxian snorted in his heart, the life of the emperor was really depressing. Only when the Northern Frontier army pressured down on him did he see a bit of worry, and it wasn't as if he had never experienced a situation where he could fall asleep while sitting on the dragon throne.

"Royal brother is really nostalgic."

"That's right, His Majesty has always valued relationships."

Xiao Zongxian pursed his lips and laughed, "Since royal brother has such strong feelings for me, then does Your Majesty still remember the young master of the Jiang family back then?"

The matter of colluding with the enemy to sell out the country would definitely be resolved by Father.

As for the Courtyard in the western suburbs, he only needed to think of a way to notify his mufei.

At this moment, Xiao Zongxian was very open-minded, and felt that all of this was really nothing.

As for the Tutor Jiang case that His Majesty had unintentionally brought up today, it was unknown if His Majesty the Emperor was still brooding over it for so many years. Would he really use this as a reason to turn the case against the Tutor Jiang?

Although Xiao Zongxian did not really think much of his emperor's cousin, if the emperor really had such a plan, he knew that it would definitely be a very troublesome matter.

He looked at Director Zhang, trying to analyze something useful from his expression. Unfortunately, Director Zhang had his back to him, and by the light of the lamp, she could only see the fat that was piled up on the back of Director Zhang's neck.

What an idiot with a brain full of fat.

Xiao Zongxian thought.

"Are you talking about Young Master Little Jiang?" Director Zhang slapped his forehead and acted like he understood.

"That's right, that's him."

At least it was what he wanted to hear, Xiao Zongxian secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

He still remembered that child. He was thin and small, and if it wasn't for the fact that he was dressed a bit extravagantly and thrown into a crowd of people, he wouldn't even be able to recognize him.

Director Zhang suddenly turned his head around and shushed Xiao Zongxian with a low voice. "My ancestor, please don't ask anymore. His Majesty does not allow me to bring up this name."

Xiao Zongxian cursed in his heart, he did not have such a descendant, if he did not even have a descendant, wouldn't he die without a descendant?

"Why is that? The child is innocent, and at that time, he still did not understand anything. The Tutor Jiang conspiring against him had nothing to do with him. He was just implicated."

"Although you said it like that, it is still a great crime. With such a crime, naturally, all sort of feelings will be lost."

Director Zhang made two tsk-tsk sounds as if he felt infinite regret.

However, Xiao Zongxian was only half believing and half doubting. Could it be that the Emperor brought this up just because of some coincidence?

The Jadewater Temple did not belong to the imperial harem and Xiao Zongxian would not see any female harem members living here.

Of course nothing would happen.

Xiao Zongxian laughed in his heart. His Majesty must still remember the matter of him lifting up his concubine's skirt.

Just as Director Zhang had said, there was indeed a young eunuch waiting on them.

Everything was ready. Director Zhang arranged for him, then called for a few people to come together in the courtyard. After a short lecture, he left.

There were no women, no fun, and on both sides of the door were guards.

Whether he wanted to come out or not wasn't up to him. Xiao Zongxian smiled playfully as he tormented the young eunuch, but in his heart, he was thinking of a plan.

No matter what his father was planning, he couldn't just sit there and wait for death.

He understood that both father and son were equally prosperous, and both sides would suffer losses at the same time. However, the most important thing at the moment was not only to clear the suspicion of his father and son, but also to deal with the matters of the Western.

However, how could he deliver the letter and let his mufei handle this matter?

Xiao Zongxian squinted his eyes and sized up the young eunuch outside the house, wanting to know if there was anyone that his father had bribed.

After walking for half a month, they saw that they were getting closer and closer to the northwest. The weather was getting colder and colder, and the sandstorm was getting bigger and bigger.

There was no sign of spring.

The Elementary Scholars and tofu hyacinth had long been unable to move. The Elementary Scholars were weak and had been raised like a chicken, but in terms of stamina and willpower, they were inferior to the Elementary Scholars.

The officials who escorted them had long known the origins of these two people's presence, so they naturally did not have a good expression on their faces. Everyone knew that Prince Rong's Mansion was a secretive place, but it was not a secret that this mother and son pair relied on their daughter to climb dragons and climb phoenixes. Now that their daughter was dead, and the mother and son pair were still sent to rejoin the army, they knew that they had offended the Prince Rong's Mansion with just a little thought.

If the mother and son walked slightly slower, they would be beaten or cursed.

They only gave two pieces of dry food a day and had to grind their saliva. The valuable things on their bodies had already been taken away by someone. Seeing that they could not get anything out of it, the two of them tortured them even more.

The Elementary Scholar wore a pair of chains as he squinted his eyes and looked at the sky.

He still couldn't believe that he had fallen into such a situation.

After a lifetime of dreams of being an official, the teacher in the academy often muttered, "Learn the art of writing and sell it to the imperial family." His mother had placed all her hopes on him, and when he was young, his sister had been taught by her mother not to disturb his studies. When he was older, her sister would sit next to him and whisper that once he became a top scholar in high school and became a high official, she would marry and marry. She would definitely marry a high official, become a official's wife, and not like the other women in the village, marry a clay leg, and spend the rest of her life walking around the boiler.

She was beautiful and had married a good family. In the future, she would be able to help her brother in his career.

This was a mutually beneficial thing, and the two siblings didn't feel that anything was wrong. In fact, their mother would even smile inwardly when she heard this, praising her children's intelligence. Their knowledge was not something these crazy girls in the village could compare with.

tofu hyacinth was proud of his children.

This was what she was thinking as well. She had made her son into a young master, and her daughter into a daughter. Unfortunately, in the end, a couple of children were married off to someone else.

She wasn't willing to let the marriage be decided just like this. The moment was deeply engraved into the hearts of the brother and sister.

tofu hyacinth was also not willing to give up. She had the son of a top scholar and the daughter of a beautiful moon and flower, so it was a blessing for her to have such a pair of siblings.

To the Song siblings, this was not something that came from the depths of their bones. No matter how good they were, the more they did it, the more poverty-stricken they were.

tofu hyacinth was beaten up again.

The Elementary Scholar's narrowed eyes moved from the sky to his mother. Listening to his mother's miserable cries, he gave her a cold and indifferent look. When the two soldiers stopped to drink, he walked over to help his mother up.

Unfortunately, his own hands were shackled and the injuries on his body were no less than tofu hyacinth's. Bowing slightly, he pulled at the wound to the point where it hurt even more.

tofu hyacinth was already used to his son's cold attitude. He crawled a few times but still couldn't get up, so he just laid on the ground to rest.

He mumbled to himself, "What have I done wrong? It's useless to have a pair of children like you. I'm getting old and I'm being dragged into this mess. How am I going to survive in the army camp?"

"Then don't live anymore!" The Elementary Scholar said coldly.
