When King Changde stood in the room, the small room seemed a bit crowded with six people sitting in it.
In the end, the guards were left outside by him because the room was too small.
King Changde, the king of the opposite sex in Dazhao, an existence under one man and above ten thousand people.
King Changde has a dignified body and a dignified appearance. On a face with regular features, two eyes are as bright as stars, revealing a resolute and calm look, and his whole body is full of mighty and majestic domineering.
He was dressed in a gorgeous suit with an extraordinary bearing, and the sleeves of the dark blue robe had dark golden patterns, making him look extremely dignified.
Several people look at me and I will look at you again. Even Cheng Suisui, who has always been fearless, feels the pressure from the royal family.
No matter how powerful they are, they are just ordinary people, mere commoners, and they are nothing in the eyes of these princes and nobles.
In the end, Shen Xuan said: "Caomin Shen Xuan has seen King Changde."
After he finished speaking, several other people followed suit, and King Changde nodded and said, "There is no need to be too polite."
From the moment he entered the door, his gaze had been fixed on Xu Xu in Lan Zhao's arms, and he asked hesitantly, "Is that him?"
"Yes, Your Majesty." Lan Zhao said.
Even if King Changde didn't call his name, she understood what he was talking about.
King Changde's lips trembled a little. He approached Lan Zhao and looked at such a small child who had no mother at birth. He wanted to touch him but was afraid of hurting him.
Xu Xu seemed to be aware of his fiery gaze and strange breath, so he burst into tears, he closed his eyes and cried, and grabbed Lan Zhao's clothes with his fingers.
"Your Majesty, do you want to hug Xu Xu?" Lan Zhao asked.
"Xu Xu? Is that his name?" King Changde said his name twice, and even his brows and eyes seemed to soften a lot.
King Changde thought for a while and said: "Forget it, this king's actions are too rude. I can see that the girl treats him very well. Please let the girl hug him."
King Changde sat next to Lan Zhao, and the others squeezed in and sat down too.
"Where did you just talk about?" King Changde asked, presumably he had already seen Banmei's body.
Miyou had met King Changde, and he said: "I just said when Banmei died, how did she die, and whose child did she belong to?"
"Let's talk about it, the king."
......
After Miyou found the body under the bed, the two men panicked even more than him. King Changde sent two people to protect Miss Banmei, but they didn't find that Miss Banmei's body was hidden in the house.
The two were dejected and didn't know what to do, so they could only take out a whistle from their arms and blow it.
Not long after, another man appeared. This man dressed as a guard seemed to be of a higher rank than the two, and the two young men respectfully stood in front of him.
The young man with single eyelids looked back at Miyou and told the story to the guard man, the guard walked towards Miyou and cupped his hands.
"I am the secret guard of King Changde, I don't know how to call you brother."
"Find the right."
"Thank you, brother Miyou. I need to go back and inform the king immediately about this matter. I also need brother Miyou's assistance. Is it convenient for brother Miyou to wait here for a while?"
"it is good."
After waiting for about an hour, King Changde came out of the palace in a hurry with several bodyguards and hidden guards.
Maybe he secretly alarmed other people, but he couldn't sit still when he heard the secret guard came back to report that Miss Banmei, whom he hadn't found until now, had been found.
Although it is said that if you are alive, you must see a person and if you are dead, you must see a corpse, but the moment he saw Banmei's cold corpse, King Changde's eyes turned black.
He half knelt beside the bed, looked at Banmei's peaceful face, and called her name.
"Meil, I've been looking for you..."
Banmei is the first woman in his life, and it is also Banmei who fills his expectations about love. Her voice and smile seem to be in front of him, and he can outline her appearance with his eyes closed.
He never thought that the farewell a few days ago turned out to be the last time we saw each other.
Since then, it has been separated forever.
"Why is it so fragrant?" The closer King Changde was to Banmei, the stronger the fragrance he could smell.
Miyou said: "To cover up the smell of rotting corpses, someone used a lot of incense."
Only then did King Changde notice the young man. He heard from the hidden guards that he had found the corpse, but he never thought that the person they had searched for so long and hadn't found was actually right in front of him.
King Changde asked the guards to bring Banmei out, and said to Miyou: "You are very good, you helped me find my concubine, and there is a reward."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Miyou said neither humble nor overbearing, "But my trip is not for reward."
"Oh? Why did you come late at night?"
"My saintess felt that Banmei was behaving suspiciously, and suspected that it was not her, so she asked me to come back and investigate again."
King Changde asked, "Saint? What saint?"
Miyou said: "The saint of the devil religion."
"It's another sect of the rivers and lakes."
Hearing this, King Changde couldn't help sighing that he had heard more news about Jianghu sects around him in the past year than in the previous 30 years combined.
"Again? Did your majesty meet other sects before?" Miyou asked keenly.
"This king met a disciple from Lingxiao Villa." King Changde said in a low tone.
......
"Lingxiao Villa? Really Lingxiao Villa?!" Cheng Suisui yelled out again, it was really disgusting!
"Is it Xu Pei?" Shen Xuan asked.
"Have you really heard of his name?" King Changde was surprised that this young man named Shen Xuan could guess it right away.
He said: "This king met this person more than a year ago. He helped the king treat his illness and bought and sold some women in the city. At first, the king thought that a little thing would be allowed, until he killed a minister's daughter. , so I had no choice but to leave here, I didn't expect to come back recently."
Did Xu Pei start laying the groundwork a year ago?How could he predict what would happen a year later?That would be too scary.
"It should be just an accident. No one can predict the future, not even my master." Shen Xuan said in a deep voice, comforting a group of people who were thinking wildly.
Miyou said: "The king told me that the people from Lingxiao Villa killed Banmei and replaced Banmei's identity. I told Wang Shang that Banmei was with us, so I delayed my return."
Miyou wants to bring back the news of Lingxiao Villa to Ruan Xianbei, and King Changde also wants to follow him to find the whereabouts of Banmei and the child.
"I wanted to bring her back since you took her away, but that night my person was threatened by the fake Banmei with the safety of the child."
"Your people? Da Dazong and those three-cornered cat killers?" Fu Cheng, who had been listening quietly all this time, rarely spoke.
King Changde shook his head and said: "That's not true, that's my stepmother's. The people I sent originally wanted to take Banmei and the child away alone while you were fighting fiercely, but the fake Banmei was so powerful that he was killed immediately. She found out, and in turn threatened them with the safety of her children and Xu Xu, so my people had no choice but to retreat."
"It was also the day I confirmed that Banmei was no longer Banmei." King Changde's tone was also a little lower.
It's just that King Changde didn't show up rashly after he followed Miyou to catch up with them, in case Banmei found out and killed their children.
He can only ask Miyou to come and find out the situation first, and if there is a chance, steal the child and bring it to him.
"Be sure not to hurt the child."
Because of King Changde's instruction, Miyou trusted him a little more.
"My lord, why are you looking for Banmei?" Cheng Suisui asked.
"The king secretly went to see Banmei, just a few days before she gave birth, we met once...
The king originally wanted to stay and accompany her to give birth. I have already found her a stable woman, but there is something in the palace. If the king does not go back, it may be more dangerous to her, so the king left. "
"If you know that those beasts will attack Banmei at the weakest time after giving birth - this king will take her back to the palace no matter what."
"Are you taking it away instead of you staying?" Lan Zhao said, "Miss Banmei doesn't like the palace..."
"The king was relieved when he knew she had escaped from home. At that time, the king was being watched by his stepmother. The king could not go out by himself, and there were very few people in his hands. When I hear about her again , she has sneaked to the town of Helena." King Changde's eyes became distant, as if he was looking at his great mother through Xu Xu.
"She is like a happy bird, with an indomitable and strong heart, always yearning for freedom and the blue sky. This king likes her the most. Later I said that I could bring her into the palace, but she said that she didn't want to enter the palace as long as she As long as the family members don't bother her, I will let her go..."
The two actually met in Helena Town!
It seemed to make sense, she was a young girl who was pregnant, and life alone was really difficult.
It turns out that Banmei's stable life is also because King Changde has been taking care of her secretly.
That's why King Changde noticed something was wrong so quickly after Banmei was replaced by a fake Banmei.
"It was I who killed her... If I hadn't met me, life would not have been so easy, but at least she is still alive..."
King Changde's tone was full of remorse and powerlessness, and he even changed his name. He looked at Xu Xu lovingly: "Fortunately, the child is fine, this is the only consolation."
"Your Majesty, do you want to take Xu Xu back?"
"Yes, this king thinks so."
Lan Zhao said suddenly: "Minnv thinks it's inappropriate."
King Changde frowned and asked, "Why is it wrong?"
Could this woman also want to threaten him with her child? If so, these Jianghu people would still be dead.
"There is a saying in our folk that says that a child with a mother is like a treasure, and a child without a mother is like a grass. The folk daughter heard that the queen and the noble concubine gave birth at the same time, and there were no other women in the king's harem. Xu Xu's status is really embarrassing. I'm afraid No one will really love him."
Lan Zhao's words seemed to be alluding to King Changde's powerlessness, and King Changde was really furious after hearing this: "It's unreasonable! This king can't even protect his own child?!"
Cheng Suisui reached out and pulled Lanzhao's sleeve to tell her not to talk, but Lanzhao was not afraid of King Changde's anger.
"Your Majesty knows that this is not the meaning of the daughter of the people. The Majesty is busy with official duties, so he has no time to keep an eye on the affairs of the harem all the time, but a child will die at any time if he is negligent. What do the queen and the concubine think of this child? What will they think?" Do you regard Xu Xu as your own child? Or as your child's competitor?"
What Lan Zhao said was something that King Changde has always avoided. There is always blood and conspiracy in the palace, and King Changde knows that what she said is the truth.
"Then what do you say, do you want me to deny this child?"
