First Lady of the Crown Prince

 Chapter 770 The Secret of the Han Family (Second Update)

　　Han family.

As night fell, Lord Han Wu’s yard was lit with candles, and the lanterns in the corridor were hung up one by one.

 Han Wuye is meditating in the house.

 Old Master Han was sitting in the hall beside him, and Han Lei and Mr. Han were also there.

Han Lei walked around the room with his hands behind his back and a frown on his face.

Mr. Han said helplessly: "Brother, please stop wandering around. You are dazzling me."

Han Lei said unceremoniously: "If you don't want to stay here anymore, just go back!"

The Third Master Han glanced at the old man who was resting his hands on the cane with his eyes closed, and secretly murmured: "I would like to go back, but I don't care about Lao Wu so much, why can't the old man strangle me to death?"

I don’t know how long it took, but finally the sound of long breathing came from Mr. Han Wu’s room.

Han Lei's eyes lit up: "It's Lao Wu!"

Old Mrs. Han slowly opened his old and sharp eyes and said in a deep voice: "You two go next door to see the situation."

 “Yes, father.” Han Lei responded.

Han Lei and the idle Mr. Han went next door.

 There was no one else in the room except Mr. Han Wu who was sitting cross-legged and meditating to heal his injuries.

 Not only has Gu Jiao been recuperating from her injuries these past few days, Han Wuye has also been walking around the Gate of Hell.

Han Lei quickly came to the bed and asked with concern: "Fifth brother, how do you feel?"

Han Wuye took a deep breath, exhaled it slowly, opened his eyes and said, "Much better."

Han Lei was still a little worried and looked him up and down and said, "Are you really not feeling uncomfortable at all? Why don't you call a doctor over to take a look?"

Han Wuye said calmly: "Brother knows my situation very well. There is no need to call a doctor, and it is useless to call."

Han Lei was speechless.

Yes, there is indeed no cure for Han Ci's condition, but there is no need for medical treatment. He recovered very quickly.

This matter must be told when Han Ci was poisoned when he was young. At that time, Han Ci was only eleven or twelve years old. He went hunting with the elders of the clan, and was separated from his family on the way and was accidentally poisoned.

 At that time, many guards of the Han family were poisoned with him.

　　When the elders of the clan came to find him, all the guards were poisoned and died. Only Han Ci survived by luck.

 The elders asked Han Ci what happened and why he was poisoned? Han Ci kept silent.

Since then, Han Ci has undergone incredible changes. First, his fists and feet became faster, and then his internal strength became faster.

 The internal strength of a martial artist is measured in years, but Han Ci's internal strength increases every month.

 He suddenly became the most talented boy in the clan.

Logically speaking, such good news should be known to the whole world with gongs and drums, but just when the Han family was about to do so, they accidentally discovered that Han Ci had a strand of white hair on his head.

They had only seen this kind of thing happen to Han Ci in story books, but they never thought it would happen to Han Ci.

Han Ci's sudden extra talent was obtained at the cost of overdrafting his longevity. This strange thing happened after Han Ci was poisoned. The Han family speculated that it was the sequelae of the poison.

The stronger Han Ci's skill, the faster he ages. In order to save his life, Han Ci can only give up pursuing a higher martial arts realm.

 The path to genius ends here.

 Even so, Han Ci is still aging at a faster rate than normal people.

If something hadn't happened to Han Ye this time, the Han family would never have let Han Ci take action.

"Fifth brother..." Third Master Han looked at Han Ci's hair and his eyes widened in confusion.

Han Ci originally only had silver hair on the surface, but now it is much whiter on the inside.

Han Wuye said nonchalantly: "I'm fine, third brother."

 “Ah.” Mr. Han said nothing.

Han Lei expressed his doubts: "Speaking of which, fifth brother, how could you lose at the hands of Xiao Liulang?"

Han Ci paused and told the truth: "I was distracted during the fight."

Han Lei was shocked: "It's a big taboo to lose focus. Fifth brother, how could you make such a stupid mistake during a fight?"

Han Ci was silent for a long time, and then said calmly: "It's just that I thought of someone."

"Is he that person from the Xuanyuan family? Fifth brother, you..." Han Lei didn't say anything else. Han Lei sighed and said seriously, "Fifth brother, it's time for you to let it go. My third brother and I have been fighting for you all these years. Hiding things about you from your father, but don’t make things difficult for your brothers all the time.”

Han Ci whispered: "Thank you, eldest brother and third brother."

Han Sanye waved his hand: "If you don't talk about this between brothers, it's because the eldest brother doesn't want to hide it. I didn't say anything. I can hide it for the rest of my life!"

Han Lei gave the prodigal a hard look.

Han Sanye shrank his neck angrily, not daring to say anything more.

Han Lei continued to look at Han Ci: "But fifth brother, tell the truth to your eldest brother, is Xuanyuan Xiaoliu really dead back then?"

Han Ci looked into his eldest brother's scrutinizing eyes and said seriously: "He's dead. I killed him with my own hands."

Han Lei smiled coquettishly: "Brother is not doubting you. He just thinks that you were too close to him back then. After the incident in the Xuanyuan family, you secretly hid him. If the guards hadn't found out in time, our Han family would have had another one to hide. The imperial court was accused of rebelling against thieves..."

Han Ci said: "Brother also saw the corpse. He is indeed dead."

Han Lei felt a chill in his heart when he saw his younger brother's eyes. He smiled and said, "Okay, let's not talk about those bad things. You can recover well. Strictly speaking, I don't blame you for what happened this time. It's the man named Xiao." Liulang is too cunning, we can just get rid of him when we find an opportunity in the future, and the Black Wind Cavalry will return to the hands of our Han family sooner or later!"

Han Ci stopped continuing the topic just now and said, "I heard that Qi Xuan died."

Han Lei got angry when he mentioned this: "I even hid the fact that Qi Xuan went to assassinate Xiao Liulang, which almost caused him to get into trouble. It doesn't matter if he dies, but it would be bad if it affects our Han family."

Han Ci asked in confusion: "How did he die?"

Han Lei replied: "He was pierced through the organs with a long sword and died. None of the Han family guards he brought with him survived. They were all killed by the long sword. We concluded that the time of his death was noon that day."

Han Ci recalled: "At noon, I was fighting with Taoist Master Qingfeng... No."

 “What’s wrong?” Han Lei looked at him.

Han Ci frowned: "At noon, Xiao Liulang should be being chased by Long Aotian. One was Long Aotian and the other was Qi Xuan. How could Xiao Liulang escape unscathed? There was something wrong with Long Aotian! He was the one who killed him. Qi Xuan!"

Han Lei said in surprise: "He is from the Prince's Mansion! Why did the Prince kill Qi Xuan!"

Han Ci clenched his fists: "Of course the prince will not kill Qi Xuan. This Long Aotian is a craftsman! He deliberately got close to the prince! Brother! Quickly inform the prince and kill Long Aotian!"

 …

 Prince’s Mansion.

Gu Changqing was playing chess with the prince in the pavilion.

The prince had just dropped a white stone, and Gu Changqing's black stone followed it, instantly cutting off the prince's path.

The prince was shocked: "I didn't expect that not only are you good at martial arts, but you are also so good at chess."

 It’s just a superficial lesson learned from my sister, I’ve tortured you enough.

"Is your injury okay?" the prince asked with concern.

 “It’s a small injury, it doesn’t matter.” Gu Changqing said.

The prince said regretfully: "I thought you could help the Han family, but I didn't expect that Xiao Liulang was so lucky!"

Gu Changqing said: "I was derelict in my duty."

The prince shook his head: "I can't blame you for this. Even Han Ci was defeated by Xiao Liulang. I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to get an advantage from Xiao Liulang. By the way, I asked you to check the identity of this fake Xiao Liulang last time. , how did your investigation go?"

Gu Changqing said without changing his expression: "He is very cautious. I didn't find many useful clues."

The prince frowned: "I'm afraid only Nangong Li knows who this fake Xiao Liulang is. It's a pity that Nangong Li is dead."

 If he doesn't die, the fact that his sister is Gu Jiao will be exposed. It's a good death.

Gu Changqing said calmly: "Your Highness, I can assassinate the deposed princess and the emperor's grandson to clear the way for Your Highness. Please allow me to make meritorious deeds."

The prince quickly raised his hand to stop him: "No, the wind has been too bad recently, so we should wait until this period of time has passed."

 The two continued to play chess.

 Suddenly, a guard came over in a hurry and whispered something to the prince's side.

The prince frowned and waved his hand to let him back down.

 The prince then said to Gu Changqing: "I still have things to deal with. Let's play chess another day."

 After saying that, the prince took his servants to the study.

Gu Changqing returned to his yard.

Xiao Jiu fluttered her wings and landed on his window sill.

Xiao Jiu was only brought by him once and remembered his location. It was inconvenient for him to visit Gu Jiao these days, so Xiao Jiu passed on the information.

 He opened the note and found it was Xiao Heng's handwriting.

 He felt relieved when he saw that Gu Jiao was awake and recovering well.

There are two flowery seals on the note, which look like they were stamped in a small space.

This little childlike seal appears on Xiao Heng’s serious font, and it is not difficult to imagine the big one and the small one arguing endlessly with stinking faces.

Gu Changqing couldn't help laughing.

 Dong dong dong.

There was a heavy knock on the door, very urgent.

Gu Changqing took a big hand and used his inner strength to turn the note into powder, threw it out of the window, and then said: "Come in."

With a creak, the door was pushed open.

　　It was the little mute slave in the yard who came to bring him dinner.

The little mute slave is only ten years old this year, still a child. He was accidentally rescued by Gu Changqing from the steward of the Prince's Mansion, and he has been following Gu Changqing ever since.

 He put the food box on the table and made anxious gestures to Gu Changqing for a while.

Gu Changqing didn't understand: "I taught you how to write, can you write it?"

The little mute slave grabbed the writing brush, scratched his head, racked his brains and thought for a long time, and then crazily wrote two missing words on the paper - danger, danger.

Gu Changqing thought for a moment and asked the little mute slave: "Are you saying that the Prince's Mansion is in danger?"

The little mute slave nodded, pointed to the door anxiously, and ran a few steps in a hurry.

Looking back, Chang Qing understood, and the little mute slave asked him to run away quickly.

Gu Changqing stood up, grabbed the sword on the table and rushed out the door.

However, as soon as he crossed the threshold, a long sword with cold light came towards him, and it stabbed into his chest!
