Chapter 194 Bad news

In the capital, the news of King Tan's disappearance finally reached His Majesty's ears three days later.

His Majesty slammed the book on the head of the person who came to sue, and said angrily: "Bastard, let me find it, and you must find him."

Among these sons, only Xie Danzhi satisfied him the most.

Of course, the satisfaction mentioned here refers to the means of doing things.

The person who knelt down to report this matter only felt a chill behind his back, and his body kept trembling. After wiping off a cold sweat, he reported tremblingly: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, it is said that the group of assassins stabbed Queen Dan all the way. They pursued closely until they reached the edge of a cliff, seeing that King Tan was no match for them, he jumped off the cliff."

What he didn't dare to say was that he was afraid that King Tan had already died under the cliff.

But how dare he say this, unless he wants to die.

Obviously this is bad news for His Majesty.

"You bastard, find out who sent the person, and you still have to see people alive and corpses." His Majesty's eyes flashed a trace of sullenness, and he yelled at him coldly.

Eunuch Chen on the side was also shivering from fright.

Even after serving His Majesty for so many years, he still couldn't help being afraid whenever His Majesty got angry.

"Yes, I obey the order."

"Go back."

After getting permission, the man quickly stood up and backed out.

The life and death of King Dan is uncertain now, His Royal Highness King Yun is the most beneficial person, but Eunuch Chen dare not tell His Majesty this.

His Majesty was thoughtful, and after calming down, he ordered to Eunuch Chen who was at the side: "Go, call the Third Highness."

"Old slave obeys the order."

Eunuch Chen didn't understand why His Majesty called the Third Highness.

Today's His Majesty, the mind is getting harder to guess!
But since he was ordered by his superiors, he will do as he pleases.

Eunuch Chen slowly withdrew from the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

His Majesty rubbed his temples tiredly, wondering what he was thinking.

In the Chonghua Palace on the other side.

Xie Yiqing knew the news of his eldest brother's disappearance from the secret letter sent by the secret guard.

Soon someone came to report that Eunuch Chen, who was beside His Majesty Xie Yiqing, was coming.

When he heard who was coming, Xie Yiqing was puzzled.

Eunuch Chen saluted respectfully: "This old slave has met His Highness the Third Highness."

Xie Yi said calmly: "Chen Eunuch please hurry up, I don't know what's the matter with Eunuch?"

Looking at the face in front of him that was exactly the same as His Majesty's when he was young, Eunuch Chen was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but sigh.

Just like that, why does His Majesty still suspect that His Highness the Third Highness is not his heir.

After a long time, Eunuch Chen remembered why he came here, and quickly put away his sigh.

He said respectfully: "Third Highness, Your Majesty, please go over."

Hearing that His Majesty wanted to see him, Xie Yiqing couldn't help frowning, obviously he didn't want to see that man.

Xie Yiqing asked indifferently: "Chen Eunuch, can you tell me a thing or two about what your Majesty asked His Highness for?"

A look of embarrassment flashed across Eunuch Chen's face, and he guessed: "I don't know about this, but before this, His Majesty just learned the news of King Tan's disappearance, and it may have something to do with it."

Hearing that it might be about the eldest brother, Xie Yiqing's expression suddenly became serious.

The secret letter from Yun Wu said that the elder brother's life and death are uncertain.

Xie Yiqing was naturally worried, but before he could reply to the secret letter to arrange for someone to find his eldest brother, Eunuch Chen came.

With a serious face, he said to Eunuch Chen: "Let's go, my Highness will accompany Eunuch to see His Majesty."

Afterwards, the two came to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

"The third highness came with the old slave."

Immediately afterwards, Eunuch Chen brought the man to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

He respectfully reported: "Your Majesty, the Third Highness is here."

Only then did His Majesty slowly raise his head, and glanced at the people below. When he saw the face that was almost exactly the same as when he was young, he was still stunned for a moment.

Xie Yiqing naturally noticed it. At this time, he only felt disgust in his heart. It was this ruthless man who caused his mother to die in the cold palace.

After a long time, His Majesty finally came to his senses, and said to Eunuch Chen who was a little tired: "You should step back first."

"The old slave retire."

Now, His Highness only has this pair of father and son.

Neither of them opened their mouths to speak, and the atmosphere was a little awkward for a while.

After a long time, it was His Majesty who broke the calm first, and said with emotion: "You look almost exactly like me."

If it is said that he is not his heir, no one will believe it.

A trace of sarcasm appeared on the corner of Xie Yiqing's mouth, and he replied neither humble nor overbearing: "That is really an honor for me."

Seeing his indifferent attitude, His Majesty was stunned for a moment.

"Are you harboring resentment towards me?"

"I dare not."

One bite at a time, and he said no.

This is his and Yun Shu's son, did he make a mistake if it was true?
When His Majesty looked at this son, guilt flashed in his eyes inadvertently.

Among all his heirs, only this son was the one he was looking forward to.

At that time, he wanted to have a child with Yun Shu that belonged to them.

Only when he saw this child did he feel that he was a father, not a high-ranking king.

It was indeed his fault at the beginning, and it is normal for the child to resent him now.

Xu is connected by blood, even though he has only met a few times, when he sees this child, there will be something strange in his heart, just like an ordinary father.

Xie Yiqing happened to catch a glimpse of his guilt, and a trace of sarcasm flashed in his eyes.

Would he feel guilty too?

But it's like tonight.

Even knowing the result, His Majesty still had some expectations, and even used the word me: "Qing'er, can you call me daddy?"

Only ordinary people would call dad, but His Majesty let him call, other princes and princesses don't have this treatment at all, even the most favored Princess Huayang is no exception.

His Majesty spoke so carefully, but Xie Yiqing only thought that he was playing with himself.

Xie Yiqing's face was cold, and he said neither humble nor overbearing: "Your Majesty, this is not what I should call father."

Knowing that he would refuse, His Majesty still couldn't help being disappointed.

"Your temperament is very similar to your mother." His Majesty couldn't help sighing.

After a pause, he said with some disappointment: "Forget it, I forced it after all."

If he had put more trust in Yun Shu back then, would the ending be different today?
His Majesty put away the humble posture just now, and commanded him with a serious expression: "King Dan is missing in Fuxi County, I order you to go to Fuxi County immediately to look for King Dan, if you want to see someone alive, you want to see him if you die corpse."

Xie Yiqing said respectfully: "I obey the order."

Even though he already knew about it, when His Majesty spoke, he was still taken aback.

"My minister retire."

"Wait a moment."

His Majesty suddenly stopped him.

Immediately afterwards, he took out a jade pendant with a heavy heart.

"You come forward."

Xie Yiqing didn't understand why, but he still took a step forward.

His Majesty handed him the jade pendant in his hand, and said solemnly: "Take this, be sure to return safely."
