The outside world is choppy.


    Various forces came on stage.


    But Emperor Wu was very quiet.


    Emperor Wu was not imprisoned in heaven or any prison.


    He remained in the imperial study.


    The layout inside has not changed at all.


    The only change was that his body was banned and his power was sealed and could not be used.


    He and Duke Hong could not leave the imperial study.


    It''s like being imprisoned!


    Patter!


    Emperor Wu stretched out his hand and dropped a white son on the chessboard.


    At this time, the black and white two sons fought fiercely on the chessboard.


    "Sixi, it''s your turn!"


    Opposite Emperor Wu, Duke Hong fell with a sunspot.


    But a moment later, father-in-law Hong was unable to settle down again.


    "Your Majesty, I lost!"


    Duke Hong bowed his head and opened his mouth carelessly and admitted defeat.


    Emperor Wu won this game of chess.


    "Although I won you, I lost to Xiao Xuan."


    Emperor Wu calmly put Baizi back in the chess box.


    His voice was calm and didn''t seem to be much hit.


    However, only Hong Gonggong understood.


    Emperor Wu''s heart is suffering.


    "Life is like chess. I have no regrets. I don''t regret coming to this step!"


    Emperor Wu put down his chess box, picked up Wuyi tea and took a sip.


    Bitter tea echoed in my mouth.


    "Your Majesty, the old slave is willing to follow you all the time."


    Father Hong''s voice is a little hoarse, but he is firm.


    "Sixi, you have been serving me. In fact, I don''t treat you as a minister or a slave."


    Emperor Wu smiled and looked at father Hong, who had been with him for almost his whole life, and slowly opened his mouth.


    Hong Sixi, a eunuch with no origin and no children.


    He has existed since Emperor Wu was born.


    Then he served Emperor Wu until now.


    For decades, he was sincere and conscientious, and won the trust of Emperor Wu.


    Whether Skynet or other dark hands, father Hong knows it.


    Because all these were done by his hand.


    "I thank your majesty for his love!"


    Duke Hong lowered his head and answered respectfully.


    Looking at father Hong''s appearance, Emperor Wu smiled.


    This is a heartfelt smile.


    "Sixi, although I know that you are actually Xiao Xuan''s person, I don''t care, because in my heart, you are equivalent to my elders. I always respect you."


    Emperor Wu whispered.


    However, his words made grandpa Hong cool behind his back and sweat.


    He


    Did he know his origin?


    And seems to have known for a long time.


    This... How is this possible?


    you ''re right.


    From the very beginning, Duke Hong was sent by the sage of Zhenwu.


    Even Emperor Wu knows to insert hidden nails beside others.


    Not to mention Zhenwu sage?


    But Zhenwu saints do better.


    Hong Gonggong also did it really.


    It''s almost false.


    Because everything he did was true except his origin.


    And he didn''t listen to the queen.


    Even the empress doesn''t know the real origin of father Hong.


    But.


    Duke Hong can''t hide from the world, but he can''t hide from Emperor Wu''s eyes.


    "If I had to deal with you, I would have done it."


    Emperor Wu still spoke softly.


    What''s more, he is forbidden and can''t do it at all.


    At this time, the shock in father Hong''s heart calmed down a little.


    But still shocked.


    "Your Majesty, the old slave thinks he is perfect. I don''t know when your majesty found out?"


    Father Hong swallowed his saliva and asked in a trembling voice.


    "At first, I really didn''t know."


    Emperor Wu''s eyes were bright and his voice was clear.


    "But thirteen years ago, I guessed the strange disease."


    Thirteen years ago.


    Emperor Wu is the strength of Emperor Wu territory.


    But that strange disease made Emperor Wu suffer.


    Although Emperor Wu didn''t find it at first.


    But after more than thirty years of dormancy, his wisdom and city government became deeper and deeper.


    I also noticed the abnormality of father Hong.


    "Now that your majesty has found out, why have you never done anything to the old slave? On the contrary, you have always entrusted the old slave with an important task?"


    Duke Hong suppressed his inner shock and revealed his doubts.


    Emperor Wu sighed.


    Then he stared at father Hong.


    "Sixi, you should know very well that when the father emperor was regarded as a puppet, I couldn''t help it. Except on New Year''s Eve and occasionally, I couldn''t see the father emperor. The word father is too strange in my eyes."


    "From my birth to my growth, in my memory, there are only your figure, your smile, your sadness and your injury. Therefore, in my mind, you actually replace the word father."


    Emperor Wu solemnly opened his mouth word by word and stared at Duke Hong tightly.


    This is the first time he has said these words.


    It''s also the first time that I have been so frank with father-in-law Hong.


    Father!


    These two words are heavy.


    Like two big mountains, they are pressing on father Hong''s heart.


    People are not plants, who can be ruthless?


    Although Duke Hong was a dark nail, he watched Emperor Wu''s birth, growth, ascendance, marriage and birth until now.


    For decades, his heart has long been concerned about Emperor Wu.


    So this time.


    Even if Zhenwu sage leaves the customs.


    Nor did he choose to rebel.


    But still standing beside Emperor Wu.


    Even prepared to die with him.


    "Your Majesty, the old slave is willing to die with you. Even if he goes to the yellow spring, the old slave is willing to continue to serve you."


    There were tears in father Hong''s eyes.


    "Sixi, I don''t want you to die. I want you to live."


    Emperor Wu''s eyes narrowed slightly and stared at father Hong.


    Slowly collect the truth in your eyes.


    "Your Majesty, but I have orders. The old slave will die!"


    Father Hong understood.


    All the true feelings revealed by Emperor Wu have a purpose.


    This is the Emperor Wu he knows.


    But he did not reject, let alone resent.


    "What do you think of Changfeng?"


    Emperor Wu said in a deep voice.


    Your highness?


    Father Hong''s heart thumped.


    I immediately understood what Emperor Wu meant.


    "The old slave once said to his majesty that he believed that his highness nine was the dragon of nine days, not something in the pool."


    Father Hong spoke solemnly.


    This is what he once thought of Xiao Changfeng.


    This view has not changed.


    "Yes, nine day dragon!"


    Emperor Wu sighed.


    "But now he is still very weak. He hasn''t completely taken off to look down on the whole world."


    Although Emperor Wu was cut off, he didn''t know the changes outside.


    But he had been able to guess the huge storm.


    And now that he has made a choice, he is ready to bear it.


    The only thing I can''t miss.


    It is Xiao Changfeng.


    After all, this is his favorite son.


    It is also the crystallization of his love with Xia Chan.


    Even if he died, he must not be hurt at all.


    "Sixi, I want to ask you one thing as a father."


    Emperor Wu suddenly got up and knelt down to Duke Hong.


    "Your Majesty, this..."


    Gong Hong was shocked.


    "Sixi, I know that Changfeng will come on the day of execution. I hope you can try your best to save his life."


    Emperor Wu lowered his arrogant head and begged.


    For Xiao Changfeng.


    For his son.


    Emperor Wu did not hesitate to give up everything.


    Whether it''s life... Or dignity!
