Chapter 262 The True Identity

"father."

It wasn't until the two little ones completely left Old General Xiao's courtyard that Xiao Yichen said in a low voice, "Did you know Xiao Jiu's identity when you brought him back?"

Xiao Hanyue seemed to be shocked by Xiao Jingmo's face when she grew up, and looked worriedly at her father with gray temples.

Xiao Gang stood under the bright sunlight, but the gloomy expression on his face remained undiminished, and there was an unresolved sorrow between his brows.

Finally, under the worried eyes of his two sons, he nodded.

"Father! What if we let outsiders know Xiao Jiu's identity!"

Seeing his father's admission, Xiao Yichen's voice couldn't help but aggravated, and he said in a questioning and frightened tone, "His current appearance is [-] to [-]% similar to that one. Maybe there will be some big troubles!"

"In these years, under the protection of Qingtian, our Xiao family has managed to live a little more smoothly. The attitude of Jingzhong towards us and the Xiao family army has improved a lot. If Xiao Jiu's identity is really discovered, everything about Xiao Jiu will be exposed. The family will be exterminated for the crime!"

Facing Xiao Yichen's excited and worried words, Old General Xiao opened his mouth for a long time, but finally he didn't utter a single word.

He didn't know and couldn't tell his son that all of this might be God's will.

"Fifth, be safe and don't be impatient!"

Xiao Hanyue reprimanded Xiao Yichen aloud. As the eldest son of the family, he has been with his father since he was a child, and he knows his loyal and brave old father very well.

It is absolutely impossible for the father to bring Xiao Jiu back for no reason, it must be after careful consideration.

After thinking about it, Xiao Hanyue asked softly, "Father, about Xiao Jiu...does that one know?"

At this time, Old General Xiao was also recalling Xiao Jingmo's figure and that incomparably handsome face just now in his mind over and over again.
Indeed, just relying on this face, many of the past has been automatically opened and revealed to the world again.

"Follow me into the study."

Mr. Xiao knows that this matter cannot be kept secret, so why not explain to his family first, even if it is for the sake of Qingtian, he should not take the risk again.

The two looked at each other, followed Mr. Xiao into the study.

As soon as the door was closed, Xiao Yichen couldn't help asking, "Father, what happened back then?"

When that incident happened, Xiao Yichen was leading his own cavalry to fight against the Xue Country's raiding army, and it was Yue Yuyu after he received the news.

"Since Xiaojiu has become my Xiao family member, I naturally won't ignore him. As a son, I will support all the decisions you make, but..."

Xiao Yichen slowly took a breath to calm down his emotions. He knew that he was a little out of control today, but he couldn't help but continue, "You can't hide such a big thing from the whole family!"

After all, once the incident happened, the whole family would be wiped out!
Old General Xiao sat at the head of the study, his gaze fell on a piece of calligraphy practiced on the table this morning.

Heaven and earth can only distinguish clear from turbid
How could he be so confused, Robber Zhi Yanyuan

The sunlight passing through the pane happened to fall on the word "distinguish". It seemed that God was telling these mortals something, but it didn't seem to be...

"Back then, you all knew about Concubine Ning..."

Slowly speaking with a deep and hoarse voice, Old General Xiao said while recalling, "At that time, Concubine Ning Gui was the most favored concubine of His Majesty. After she gave birth to her first dragon son, His Majesty immediately summoned the national teacher Approve for it."

"Unfortunately, that was an extremely bad comment."

"The national teacher affirms that the Ninth Prince is the lone star of Tiansha, who has restrained his father and brother since birth, and anyone who is close to him will be restrained to death."

"I bother!"

Hearing this, Xiao Yichen spat directly, regardless of the noble young master's image, "What kind of national destroyer, everyone is the lone star of the celestial evil, the evil star of the celestial evil, and I don't know why the emperor believes in him so much!"

Xiao Hanyue was also very displeased with what the national teacher said, she frowned and looked at the old general Xiao and said, "I remember Ning Guifei hanged herself at that time?"

Facing the eldest son's question, Old General Xiao did not speak.

"Could it be that there is something hidden about her death?!"

"Indeed, this matter is more complicated than what you have seen and heard."

Putting away the rice paper, Old General Xiao stood up and walked to the window.

"The national teacher has another word. He told His Majesty that the Ninth Prince and Concubine Ning complement each other. Concubine Ning is the only one who is not killed by the Ninth Prince but can be blessed with good luck. And the Ning family also has an emperor because of the birth of the Ninth Prince. Qi."

"It's just nonsense! How could the Ning family be loyal to usurp the throne?!"

The national teacher's words were too obvious, and Xiao Yichen, who couldn't hold his breath, cursed again. Thinking of the tragic situation of the Ning family back then, he clenched his fists and his face turned pale.

Looking up at his father's majestic back, Xiao Yichen asked in disbelief, "Could it be because of this sentence that the Ning family was wiped out?!"

Old General Xiao just stood there without saying a word.

As two sons, they instantly understood that their guess was right.

In the room, the three of them were silent for a while.

Xiao Hanyue and Xiao Yichen didn't expect that the tragic death of the Ning family was just for two criticisms, and the old general Xiao couldn't help but feel grief when he mentioned the past.

"The Ning family's 160 three loyalists died just like this under two innocent words."

Xiao Hanyue said with emotion.

"Actually, Concubine Ning chose to hang herself that day, and promised that the Ning family would resign to save the lives of the whole family."

"It's a pity that she forgot that the royal family is ruthless. Less than three days after her death, the whole Ning family was wiped out. The newly born Ninth Prince was supposed to be executed in secret, but someone came forward to save his life."

Hearing this, Xiao Hanyue and Xiao Yichen looked at Old General Xiao in unison, who else would be so effective except the emperor.

"It's the national teacher."

Old General Xiao turned around and looked at his two sons, "Although I still haven't figured out why he wanted to take the life of the Ninth Prince, but he was indeed the one who left the life of this calamity."

Xiao Hanyue and Xiao Yichen were also full of surprises. The old general Xiao continued, "Although Xiao Jiu survived, he was only living like an ant. If the queen hadn't been kind to support her from time to time, I'm afraid the child would have died long ago."

When it comes to the queen, Xiao Hanyue can also guess the events of that year.

The only one who could make his father take the nine princes away from the imperial city to Fengcheng at any cost was the queen who had a childhood friendship with his father.

"You don't have to worry about me taking Xiao Jiu away." Mr. Xiao said, "Xiao Jiu's departure from the imperial city was arranged by the empress, but the emperor acquiesced. This is the main reason why the Xiao family's military power was not deprived."

"From this point of view, the emperor still has feelings for the Ninth Prince." Xiao Hanyue murmured, "After all, the emperor has deep feelings for Ning Guifei."
