Cute Wife Divorce Husband: Black-bellied Prince and Little Dumb Concubine

Chapter 469 You Must Do One Thing For Me
A light tone came over, "Then pick it up from here."

Xiao Zijun hesitated for a moment, then came over and sat down opposite the emperor.

"Look at this chess—" Xiao Yan glanced at him, "Are you familiar with it?"

Xiao Zijun didn't remember anything, but seeing what his father meant, he only heard his father say: "This is the beginning of spring, the game you played with your father, do you want to continue?"

Xiao Zijun found it unbelievable that his father actually remembered this game of chess.

Could it be that the father had thought about continuing to play chess with him?

Qilin Pavilion was very quiet, except for the eunuchs and maids waiting on the left and right, there was no one else.

Back then, there were guards not far from Father's Qilin Pavilion.

Perhaps it was because of the guards that the father relaxed his vigilance back then.

"Father, you knew from the beginning that the one who assassinated you was definitely not a minister, right?"

Xiao Zijun plucked up his courage, and finally asked the question that had been suppressed in his heart for a long time.

The emperor Xiao Yan's expression was very calm, and his eyes were also gentle. This is Xiao Zijun's most familiar father.

Anyone who meets the emperor for the first time will think that Xiao Yan is gentle and luxurious, unlike the violent person he imagined. However, those who are familiar with the emperor will know that his gentleness is just a layer of wrapping. On the inside, he is very suspicious. The means are even more chilling.

The calmer the emperor, the more unsettling it is.

Although Xiao Zijuan had a lot of experience, he couldn't understand it at this time.

He will never be able to guess his father's heart, just like he has never approached him.

"Didn't you already sit in front of the father? Since it's peace, don't pursue it in the past."

He moved a pawn, but suddenly raised his head and asked, "Don't talk about the past, so the father and the ministers are talking about the future?" Xiao Zijuan obviously disagreed with the father's meaning, "It's just the future, but it's all connected with the past."

"I don't have time to regret it, but I always want to figure it out. The emperor doesn't see Ah Jun in his eyes. Is it because of the 20 troops outside the capital?"

The emperor's hand slowly closed the chess pieces on the table, only to hear a crash, and the black and white pieces rolled all over the floor.

One by one, as clear as yesterday.

"It seems that this game of chess between me and you can't be played no matter what."

Xiao Zijun paused, then knelt down to plead guilty, "Father, please calm down, please forgive my son for being rude."

Xiao Yan got up and walked aside, the back standing there was no longer as tall and straight as before.

He lost weight, his temples were grizzled, and even though he was still wearing the black gold dragon robe, he completely lost the majestic appearance of the emperor in his memory.At this moment, Xiao Zijun felt a little sad.

After a while, I heard the emperor sigh, "Prince Jin, if I don't forgive you for your crime of usurpation, how can you be here?"

He changed his tone, "But it's not because of the large army outside your city that I didn't punish you. I haven't lost control. I'm still the emperor of Northern Qi!"

The tone was neither fast nor slow, but it sounded like thunder in King Jin's heart.

The emperor suddenly turned around and looked at Xiao Zijun, something faintly flashed in his pupils.

"Ah Jun, I tell you that although I love your mother, I didn't let her sit on the queen's seat. Although you are my emperor's son, you will not be the candidate for the Eastern Palace."

Xiao Zijun was not surprised.

However, it was the first time that the father admitted his thoughts to himself personally.

He didn't know whether he was sad or sad.

Therefore, it didn't matter who the person who assassinated Qilin Pavilion back then was because the emperor didn't want him to fight for the crown prince.

Returning to the capital this time, if the emperor still has no plans to make himself the crown prince, what should he do?

To turn against his father again, imprison him, and make him Zen as his overlord?

Xiao Zijun originally thought that his father could see clearly, but he didn't expect his father to repeat this position to himself at this moment.

His pupils were faintly red, and his heart had long been as cold as stone after being riddled with holes. He sneered, and after a while, he asked with a smile: "I really can't figure out what my father is thinking. Now King Liang is in prison, so is Father trying to let the flamboyant King Song enter the East Palace?"

Hearing this, Xiao Yan's eyes suddenly changed, and then he coughed violently as if he had been choked.

It took a long time before the coughing stopped.

Xiao Zijuan looked away from Xiao Yan coldly, without much concern, and his tone was even more disrespectful: "Father, do you think this war is not enough? Do you think the second child can sit safely in the East Palace?"

This is no less than a blatant threat.

This meant that it was obvious that he, King Jin, would not let it go.

Xiao Yan looked at him, and the disappointment in his pupils was self-evident, "Ah Jun, you always thought that the emperor favored your second brother, and you were secretly dissatisfied with my decision. At this moment, my decision has not yet been announced. , but you are deliberately angry with me!"

Xiao Zijun didn't see through the emperor's mind at all, but said contemptuously: "Father, all causes and effects go hand in hand, and the only dissatisfaction of my son is you! Today, you don't think you can change anything, do you?"

Xiao Yan's anger surged up, his clenched fists creaked, and he shouted angrily, "Come on!"

In an instant, a group of golden armored guards appeared, led by a general, all armed with swords and shields, glaring at King Jin.

Xiao Zijun was unarmed at this time, a sneer twitched at the corner of his mouth, looked at Xiao Yan lightly, and said with a smile: "It turns out that nothing has changed at all. Qilin Pavilion used to be a grand banquet, but now it is still nothing more than that. I can arrest you without a fight, but The army outside the city will not be so easy!"

King Jin was captured by the golden armored guards, but he did not take him away quickly.

Xiao Yan came over with a very lonely tone, "Ah Jun, I am old and defeated. But the country of Northern Qi cannot be defeated, he wants to survive forever."

"Although I tried my best not to like you as the crown prince, but now, I know that except you, no one can take on the heavy responsibility of the country."

Xiao Zijun's eyes lit up, knowing that his father didn't intend to capture him, but he was not sure, so he only looked at the emperor with deep eyes.

"If I make you the crown prince, you must do one thing for me." After finishing speaking, the emperor reached out and drew back his golden armored guard.

Xiao Zijun was relieved, first he bowed his head to the emperor and said: "I thank my father for your forgiveness."

Then he raised his head and looked at the emperor, seemingly worried, and said quietly: "What does the emperor want my son to do?"

Looking at him, Xiao Yan seemed relieved, "You are still so cautious and calm."

He once said this sentence to Xiao Ziyuan, and Xiao Ziyuan's answer was: "Don't say one thing, the father can let his ministers do a hundred things." But he didn't do it.

Now, King Jin did not fully agree, and Xiao Yan was satisfied with this.

"I asked you to kill Fan Li with your own hands."

The words that were neither light nor heavy fell into his ears.

Xiao Zijun was stunned for a moment.

Fan Li?

The man had almost forgotten it in his own mind.How many things have happened in these years, how could he still remember the former Fan Li?
