In the Baixiao hall, everyone was silent and didn''t dare to say a word.
Only the empress Duanfei was crying with the body of the fifth prince.
And now.
Xiao Changfeng followed Emperor Wu and stepped into the cold night.
Although it didn''t snow tonight, the previous snow hasn''t melted.
In the night, it still looks a little pale.
Xiao Changfeng looked at his father in front of him, but there were many doubts in his heart.
One of the biggest doubts is why he did everything to protect himself?
If it is the love of father and son.
Then the eighth Prince and the twelfth prince, or the second prince and the third prince, are all his sons.
And today I killed five princes with the a sword, and I didn''t see him angry.
This is definitely not an ordinary father and son love.
But if not, what kind of relationship is it?
After his mother disappeared, he didn''t say hello to himself.
In those ten years of humiliation, his father never came to see himself once.
And never asked about his life.
I never came to protect myself from humiliation.
Even when I went to the Yin Yang School palace, I bought it from my mother''s relics at that time.
It can be said that in Xiao Changfeng''s impression.
Father emperor is a very vague concept.
Like a familiar stranger.
"Father, what are you thinking?"
Xiao Changfeng looked at Emperor Wu''s back and couldn''t help asking.
However, he did not speak, but continued to follow behind Emperor Wu.
This time back to Kyoto, his purpose is to explore the strange diseases of 12 years and find the whereabouts of his mother.
It is also a revenge for the humiliation of that year.
He never wanted to rely on the power of others.
Even just now, he was slandered by the public and besieged by dozens of strong men.
Xiao Changfeng didn''t expect to rely on his father''s power.
However, at this critical moment.
Father.
It gave him a solid arm.
Stop all the dangers.
This feeling of being protected by the father is the first time!
It''s false to say that you didn''t move.
But more is doubt.
After all, I am not the one who can only be bullied.
But Xiao Changfeng, who awakened the memory of the Immortal Emperor and had enough strength and means to revenge.
All the way.
Emperor Wu did not open his mouth to talk with Xiao Changfeng, but walked forward with a negative hand.
Father Hong didn''t know when he would come, and followed Xiao Changfeng behind him.
Soon, Xiao Changfeng was guided by Emperor Wu.
Through many palaces and corridors, you came to the depths of the palace.
"Heaven Tower!"
Soon, Xiao Changfeng saw a towering tower.
The tower is 100 meters high, and there is a bright light on it, as if it is brighter than the stars in the sky.
Emperor Wu went straight into the tower.
Xiao Changfeng didn''t stop and followed.
The sky climbing tower is not spacious, only a curved and folded stone ladder.
Emperor Wu stepped on the stone ladder step by step and went up slowly, as if he were going to heaven.
Xiao Changfeng said nothing and followed behind him.
Father Hong didn''t know when he had a food box in his hand. He appeared like a ghost and followed Xiao Changfeng without falling behind.
The stone ladder is long and keeps going up.
Xiao Changfeng''s divine knowledge swept away, but he clearly found that these stone ladders have a total of 999 floors.
Soon, the three came to the top of the tower.
The top of the tower is not a pointed shape, but a platform.
On all sides of the platform, there is a vast expanse of high altitude.
A stone table and four simple stone stools are placed five meters around.
Sitting on a stone bench, a few steps away is a hundred meters high.
Surrounded by clouds, from here, you can overlook more than half of Kyoto and all the lights.
It''s just that there is no shelter around here, and the cold wind is enough to make people cold all over.
Indeed, it is extremely cold at high altitude!
"Sit down!"
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, Grandpa Hong also came quickly and opened the food box.
There is nothing else in it, only a pot of tea and two cups.
"There is a Wuyi Mountain in Chuzhou. There is an old tea tree on the top of the mountain. It shoots once every ten years and only has less than two kilograms of tea each time. However, this Wuyi tea tastes very unique and I have always liked it."
Emperor Wu himself took out the teapot and poured two cups of hot tea.
Xiao Changfeng frowned slightly. He didn''t expect that his father didn''t say anything else. Instead, he talked about tea first.
But he was not in a hurry and tasted Wuyi tea.
The tea is bitter.
It is dozens of times more bitter than ordinary tea.
It seems to be a combination of bitter melon, bitter lotus, bitter root and other bitter things.
However, after swallowing this mouthful of tea, there was an indescribable sweetness.
lead a person to endless aftertastes.
"Life is sometimes like this tea. Only after tasting the suffering can we enjoy the final sweetness."
Emperor Wu put down his tea cup and smiled on his face.
"Father, are you going to preach to your ministers again?"
Xiao Changfeng looked at Emperor Wu with indifferent eyes.
He thought that Emperor Wu would preach with him as he did last time.
But this time, Emperor Wu shook his head.
"Last time in the imperial study, I already understood your mind. Your actions today also showed me your determination. In that case, why should I impose my ideas on you!"
Emperor Wu opened his mouth with a smile, and there was no sense of blame on his face.
It seems that Xiao Changfeng killed the five princes in public. In his eyes, it was just a small matter.
"Oh? My father, my ministers are curious. Why do you protect me so much? It seems to be contrary to what you did more than ten years ago!"
Xiao Changfeng spoke out his doubts directly.
This is the last thing he understands.
"Changfeng, I''m glad you''ve grown up!"
Emperor Wu smiled.
"Do you know that life is like chess and you have no regrets? I don''t want to say more about the things in the past ten years. I won''t regret whether you hate me or hate me. As for the reason, you will know in the future."
Emperor Wu has never been a mother-in-law person, let alone a hypocritical generation.
Therefore, he did not choose to exchange explanation for Xiao Changfeng''s trust.
Anyway, he knew that Xiao Changfeng wouldn''t care about these things.
"What do you think of tonight?"
Xiao Changfeng nodded and turned to ask about tonight.
"You know in your heart that you don''t need to ask me!"
Emperor Wu smiled.
The fifth prince was so careful that he saw nothing in front of him.
He believed that Xiao Changfeng could see clearly, otherwise he would not make a strong shot.
"What about the queen?"
Xiao Changfeng spoke again and stared at Emperor Wu.
"Queen!"
Hearing Xiao Changfeng mention the empress, Emperor Wu sighed and immediately stood up, facing the cold wind and overlooking the lights.
A moment later, Emperor Wu began to speak.
What he said surprised Xiao Changfeng.
"Now that you have asked, I will tell you a secret, a great secret!"
"In fact, the evil seed in the Queen''s belly is not mine!"
