Chapter 206: Tell you a secret

Chapter 206: Tell you a secret

Everyone in Baixiao Hall was as silent as a cicada, not daring to say a word.

Only Concubine Duan was holding the body of the fifth prince and crying.

And at this time.

Xiao Changfeng followed Emperor Wu into the cold night.

Although it didn't snow tonight, the previous snow has not melted yet.

In the night, it still looked a little pale.

Xiao Changfeng looked at his father in front of him, but he had many doubts in his heart.

The biggest doubt is why he is so protective of himself at all costs?

If we say it is the love between father and son.

Then the eighth and twelfth princes, or the second and third princes, are all his sons.

Moreover, today I killed the fifth prince with one sword, but I didn't see him getting angry.

This is definitely not the ordinary love between father and son.

But if this is not the case, then what kind of relationship is there?

After her mother disappeared, she didn't even see him saying anything to her.

During those ten years of humiliation, his father never came to see him once.

He has never interfered with his own life.

He never came to protect himself from humiliation.

Even going to Yin Yang Academy was in exchange for his mother's relics.

It can be said that in Xiao Changfeng's impression.

Father is a very vague concept.

Like a familiar stranger.

"Father, what on earth are you thinking about?"

Xiao Changfeng looked at Emperor Wu's back and couldn't help but ask.

However, he did not speak, but continued to follow Emperor Wu.

This time when he returned to Kyoto, his purpose was to explore the strange illness he had suffered for twelve years and to find the whereabouts of his mother.

At the same time, it was also revenge for the humiliation of the past.

He never thought of relying on the strength of others.

Even just now, he was slandered by everyone and besieged by dozens of strong men.

Xiao Changfeng did not expect to rely on his father's power.

However, at this critical moment.

Father.

But it gave him a solid arm.

Stop all dangers at once.

This feeling of being protected by my father is the first time!

It would be a lie to say that I was not moved.

But more than anything, there are doubts.

After all, I am no longer the person I used to be who could only be bullied by others.

It was Xiao Changfeng who had awakened the memory of the Immortal Emperor and had enough strength and means to take revenge.

Keep moving forward.

Emperor Wu did not open his mouth to talk to Xiao Changfeng, but walked forward with his hands behind his back, like a dragon walking like a tiger walking like a tiger.

Eunuch Hong arrived at some unknown time and followed Xiao Changfeng.

Soon, Xiao Changfeng was guided by Emperor Wu.

Passing through many palaces and corridors, we came to the depths of the palace.

"Tower of Climb!"

Soon, Xiao Changfeng saw a tower towering into the clouds.

This tower is a hundred meters high, and there is a bright light on it, which seems to be brighter than the stars in the sky.

Emperor Wu walked straight into the tower.

Xiao Changfeng did not stop and followed in.

The Climbing Tower is not spacious, with only a stone staircase that curves and folds up.

Emperor Wu stepped on the stone stairs step by step and slowly went upwards, as if he was ascending to the sky.

Xiao Changfeng followed behind without saying a word.

At some point, Eunuch Hong had a food box in his hand, and it appeared like a ghost, following Xiao Changfeng without losing track.

The stone staircase is very long and keeps going up.

Xiao Changfeng swept his consciousness and clearly discovered that these stone stairs had a total of nine hundred and ninety-nine levels.

Soon, the three of them arrived at the top of the tower.

The top of the tower is not pointed, but a platform.

The platform is surrounded by vast expanse of sky.

In a five-meter radius, there is a stone table and four simple stone benches.

Sitting on the stone bench, a few steps away is a hundred meters in the air.

The surroundings are shrouded in clouds and mist, but from here, you can overlook most of Kyoto and the lights of thousands of houses.

It's just that there is no shelter from all sides, and the cold wind blowing is enough to make people feel chilly all over.

It really is too cold at high places!

"sit!"

Emperor Wu sat on the stone bench and said the first word to Xiao Changfeng.

Xiao Changfeng did not refuse, nodded and sat down opposite Emperor Wu.

At this time, Eunuch Hong also walked over quickly and opened the food box.

There was nothing else inside, just a pot of tea and two teacups.

"There is a Wuyi Mountain in Chuzhou. There is an old tea tree on the top of the mountain. It buds once every ten years, and only produces less than two kilograms of tea each time. However, this Wuyi tea has a unique taste, and I have always liked it."

Emperor Wu took action himself, took out the teapot and poured two cups of hot tea.

Xiao Changfeng frowned slightly. He did not expect that his father did not say anything else, but instead started talking about tea.

But he was not in a hurry and took a sip of Wuyi tea.

The tea is very bitter.

It is dozens of times more bitter than ordinary tea.

It seems to be a combination of various bitter things such as bitter melon, bitter lotus, and bitter root.

However, after swallowing this sip of tea, there was an indescribable sweetness.

Endless aftertaste.

"Sometimes life is just like this tea. Only after you have tasted all the suffering can you enjoy the final sweetness."

Emperor Wu put down his teacup with a smile on his face.

"Father, are you going to preach to your son again?"

Xiao Changfeng looked at Emperor Wu with an indifferent look.

He thought that Emperor Wu would preach to him like last time.

But this time, Emperor Wu shook his head.

"I already understood your thoughts during the last visit to the Imperial Study Room. Your actions today have also shown me your determination. In this case, why should I impose my own ideas on you again?"

Emperor Wu smiled and spoke without any hint of blame on his face.

It seemed that Xiao Changfeng's execution of the fifth prince in public was just a trivial matter in his eyes.

"Oh? Father, I am rather curious as to why you are so protective of me. This seems to be contrary to what you have done for more than ten years!"

Xiao Changfeng directly expressed the doubts in his heart.

This is what he doesn't understand the most.

"Changfeng, I am very happy that you have grown up!"

Emperor Wu smiled slightly.

"You know that life is like a chess game, and you have no regrets about your moves. I don't want to say more about what happened in the past ten years or so. Whether you blame me or hate me, I will never regret it. As for the reason, you will know it in the future."

Emperor Wu was never a mother-in-law person, let alone a person who pretended to be in love.

Therefore, he did not choose to use explanations in exchange for Xiao Changfeng's trust.

Anyway, he knew that Xiao Changfeng wouldn't care about these things.

"What do you think of tonight's events?"

Xiao Changfeng nodded and turned to ask about tonight's events.

"You know it yourself, why do you need to ask me?"

Emperor Wu seemed to be smiling but not smiling.

The fifth prince's little tricks were nothing compared to him.

And he believed that Xiao Changfeng could see clearly, otherwise he wouldn't have made a strong move.

"So, where is the Queen?"

Xiao Changfeng spoke again, staring at Emperor Wu.

"Queen!"

Hearing Xiao Changfeng mention the Queen, Emperor Wu sighed, stood up immediately, faced the cold wind, and looked at the lights of thousands of houses in the distance.

After a while, Emperor Wu spoke.

And what he said shocked even Xiao Changfeng.

"Since you asked, I will tell you a secret, a huge secret!"

"Actually, the evil seed in the queen's belly is not mine!"
